The currently published vtcode-core and vtcode-ui versions on crates.io have compilation issues with their rmcp dependency. They also depend on internal crates (vtcode-a2a, vtcode-mcp, vtcode-llm, vtcode-skills, vtcode-safety) that are not published separately. These will be added to the battery pack once they are available and stable on crates.io.
