Subject: [PATCH 01/32] perf(ci): parallelize packed-companion probes
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

verify-built-package-invariants ran 100+ npm-pack + plain-Node probes
serially, dominating the CI artifacts lane (~4min of a ~5min job; ~7.5min
on Windows). Each probe stages its packed view inside its own package and
spawns its own processes, so the probes are independent — run them through
the same bounded worker pool shape as publint-all, capped by
DSH_BUILT_INVARIANTS_CONCURRENCY (default availableParallelism), failures
kept in manifest order.

Measured on the gate alone: 2m07s serial -> 17s at concurrency 8.
CI lanes pin the cap to 8, matching DSH_PUBLINT_CONCURRENCY.

 [scripts/publint-all.ts](../../../../scripts/publint-all.ts) discovers the package list from `packages/<group>/<pkg>` and runs `publint` with a worker pool sized from `availableParallelism()`. `DSH_PUBLINT_CONCURRENCY` can cap or raise the worker count for local machines and CI runners with different resource profiles. Results are buffered per package and printed in deterministic package order, so parallel execution does not scramble each package's log block.
 
+[scripts/verify-built-package-invariants.mjs](../../../../scripts/verify-built-package-invariants.mjs) has the same per-package independence — each probe stages its packed view inside its own package and spawns its own `npm pack` and Node processes — so it uses the same bounded-pool shape with `DSH_BUILT_INVARIANTS_CONCURRENCY` as its cap. Serially it dominated the CI artifacts lane (about 4 minutes for 100+ packages, over half the lane's wall clock); the pool collapses that to the slowest probe batch, and failures keep manifest order.

 The per-gate package scripts remain the vocabulary for ad hoc local runs. `hygiene` stays an aggregate `&&` chain the scheduler mirrors, while `doc-sync` has since moved its member list into the scheduler itself ([doc-sync through the gate scheduler](2026-07-21-doc-sync-through-gate-scheduler.md)).

Number.parseInt accepts a numeric prefix, so values like 1.5 or 8junk
silently ran an unintended worker count. Require the full string to
round-trip (same pattern as run-gates' positiveIntArg).

+# Agent Note: A config hot-reload must not kill or degrade a live app
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-20-config-hot-reload-resilience.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+The demo apps mount `@cordisjs/plugin-hmr` as a leaf so a running agent picks up `cordis.yml` edits. One bad edit killed the process: `Include.refresh()` rethrew the YAML parse error, the HMR watcher awaits `refresh()` inside an async chokidar callback nobody catches, and the resulting unhandled rejection tripped `dsh-app-boot`'s fail-loud handler — `exit(1)` mid-session, losing the live TUI. Two adjacent defects made even *valid* reloads wrong: a file that parses to `undefined` (empty or mid-write truncated — editors and `sed -i` routinely produce these states) crashed the entry walk instead of reading as invalid, and a re-read never re-applied the include's `config.patches`, so any hot-reload of an overlay-based tree (Code Mode, personal overlays) silently reverted patched entries and removed inserted ones.
+
+## Decision
+
+Harden the vendored `@cordisjs/plugin-include` (logged as local modification 8 in [vendor/README.md](../../../../vendor/README.md)) rather than the callers:
+
+- `refresh()` awaits the whole read-and-update and catches failures, logs a warning, and keeps the last good entry tree. A hot-reload is advisory; the invariant is that no file state reachable by an editor may take the process down.
+- `read()` rejects a non-array parse result with a `TypeError`, folding the `undefined`-parse case into the same "invalid file" signal, and commits `content`/`data` only after a successful parse — so reverting an edit to the exact last good content correctly reads as "unchanged".
+- `refresh()` and the `internal/update` listener apply `this.applyPatches(...)` before `root.update()`, restoring parity with `[Service.init]`. `applyPatches` deep-copies the cached parse (`structuredClone`) instead of mutating it, so repeated application converges and removing a patch reverts to the file's own values. The listener uses the incoming config's `patches` and persists that config itself: it vetoes the fiber restart (children update in place), and `Fiber.update` only assigns `this.config` behind `next()`, so without the explicit assignment the next re-read would re-apply the old overlay.
+
+Boot-time behavior stays fail-loud and gets a sharper diagnostic: `[Service.init]` falls back to `initial` (or "config file not found") only on `ENOENT`; an existing-but-invalid file now fails with its real parse error instead of being mislabelled as absent or silently overwritten by `initial`.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Catch in the HMR watcher callback instead of `refresh()`.** Rejected: it would leave `refresh()` a trap for every other caller (the `internal/update` path shares the same tree-update logic), and it cannot fix the `undefined`-parse or patch-loss defects, which live inside the include.
+
+**Filter config-file rejections in `installFailLoud`.** Rejected: the fail-loud handler exists to make late load failures visible; teaching it to classify exceptions by origin would silently swallow genuine boot failures and leave the stale-`data` crash in place.
+
+**A PTY e2e proving the TUI survives a bad edit.** Rejected as the primary gate: the PTY smoke reads the repo's committed `cordis.yml`, so corrupting it in-place is not test-safe, and a temp copy cannot resolve the tree's bare package specifiers. The unit spec drives the exact `refresh()` entry point the watcher calls; the fix was additionally verified manually against the live TUI (bad YAML, empty file, restored file).
+
+## Consequences
+
+- A bad `cordis.yml` edit now logs `ignoring config reload at <file>` and the agent keeps running on the last good tree; the next valid edit applies normally. With no logger exporter mounted in the TUI demos the warning is currently invisible on screen — surfacing loader warnings in the TUI is deferred.
+- Overlay trees survive base-file reloads with patches intact instead of silently reverting to the unpatched base.
+- The vendored include diverges further from upstream; the divergence is logged in the vendor manifest and re-applies on the next sync.
+- Known gap, out of scope here: the HMR watcher only handles chokidar `change` events, so editors that replace the file by rename (BSD `sed -i`, `git checkout`) do not trigger a config reload at all; and a reloaded app-entry config does not visibly restart the running TUI (pre-existing on the unmodified tree).
+
+## Testing
+
+`packages/ui/app-boot/tests/config-reload.spec.ts` boots real Loader trees against temp configs and pins: an invalid-YAML edit and an empty-file edit both resolve `refresh()` without rejection and keep the previous entry config; a subsequent valid edit applies; an overlay tree re-applies both entry patches and inserted entries on re-read; a hot-update of the include entry's own `patches` applies immediately, survives the next file re-read, and reverts cleanly when the patches are removed.

+# Agent Note: 配置热重载不得杀死或降级正在运行的应用
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-20-config-hot-reload-resilience.md) | 中文
+
+## Problem
+
+各示例应用把 `@cordisjs/plugin-hmr` 挂载为叶子配置项，让运行中的 agent 能感知 `cordis.yml` 的编辑。一次错误的编辑就会杀死进程：`Include.refresh()` 把 YAML 解析错误原样抛出，HMR 的文件监听器在一个无人捕获的异步 chokidar 回调里 await `refresh()`，产生的未处理 rejection 触发 `dsh-app-boot` 的快速失败处理器——会话中途 `exit(1)`，正在运行的 TUI 就此丢失。另有两个相邻缺陷让*合法*的重载也出错：解析结果为 `undefined` 的文件（空文件或写入中途被截断的文件——编辑器和 `sed -i` 常态性地产生这类中间状态）会让配置项遍历直接崩溃，而不是被判定为无效文件；并且重新读取时从不重新应用 include 的 `config.patches`，因此对基于 overlay 的配置树（Code Mode、个人 overlay）做任何热重载，都会悄悄把打过补丁的配置项回退、并把插入的配置项移除。
+
+## Decision
+
+加固 vendor 的 `@cordisjs/plugin-include`（在 [vendor/README.md](../../../../vendor/README.md) 中记录为本地修改第 8 条），而不是修改调用方：
+
+- `refresh()` await 整个「读取并更新」过程并捕获失败，记录一条警告，并保留上一份完好的配置树。热重载是尽力而为的；不变式是编辑器可能产生的任何文件状态都不得导致进程退出。
+- `read()` 对非数组的解析结果抛出 `TypeError`，把 `undefined` 解析结果并入同一个「无效文件」信号，并且只在解析成功后才提交 `content`/`data`——因此把编辑撤销回与上一份完好内容完全一致时，会正确地判定为「无变化」。
+- `refresh()` 与 `internal/update` 监听器在 `root.update()` 之前调用 `this.applyPatches(...)`，与 `[Service.init]` 保持一致。`applyPatches` 对缓存的解析结果做深拷贝（`structuredClone`）而不是就地修改，因此重复应用会收敛，移除补丁会回退到文件自身的值。监听器使用传入配置中的 `patches` 并自行持久化该配置：它否决 fiber 重启（子配置项就地更新），而 `Fiber.update` 只在 `next()` 之后才赋值 `this.config`，若不显式赋值，下一次重新读取会重新应用旧的 overlay。
+
+启动期行为保持快速失败并获得更准确的诊断：`[Service.init]` 只在 `ENOENT` 时回退到 `initial`（或「config file not found」）；存在但无效的文件现在会以真实的解析错误失败，而不是被误标为文件缺失、或被 `initial` 静默覆盖。
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**在 HMR 监听回调里捕获，而不是在 `refresh()` 里。** 否决：这会让 `refresh()` 继续成为其他所有调用方的陷阱（`internal/update` 路径共享同一套树更新逻辑），而且无法修复 `undefined` 解析结果与补丁丢失这两个位于 include 内部的缺陷。
+
+**在 `installFailLoud` 里过滤配置文件相关的 rejection。** 否决：快速失败处理器的存在意义就是让延迟出现的加载失败可见；教它按来源给异常分类会悄悄吞掉真正的启动失败，并且原样保留陈旧 `data` 导致的崩溃。
+
+**用 PTY e2e 证明 TUI 能在错误编辑后存活。** 否决其作为主要门禁：PTY 冒烟测试读取仓库中已提交的 `cordis.yml`，就地破坏它对测试不安全，而临时副本无法解析该配置树的裸包说明符。单元测试直接驱动监听器所调用的 `refresh()` 入口；此外还对运行中的 TUI 做了人工验证（错误 YAML、空文件、恢复文件）。
+
+## Consequences
+
+- 现在错误的 `cordis.yml` 编辑会记录 `ignoring config reload at <file>`，agent 继续运行在上一份完好的配置树上；下一次合法编辑正常生效。TUI 示例没有挂载任何日志导出器，这条警告目前不会显示在屏幕上——在 TUI 中呈现 loader 警告的工作暂缓。
+- overlay 配置树在基础文件重载后补丁保持完整，不再悄悄回退到未打补丁的基础配置。
+- vendor 的 include 与上游进一步分叉；该分叉已记录在 vendor 的 manifest 里，下次同步时重新应用。
+- 已知缺口，不在本次范围内：HMR 监听器只处理 chokidar 的 `change` 事件，因此通过重命名替换文件的编辑方式（BSD `sed -i`、`git checkout`）完全不会触发配置重载；应用配置项重载后也不会可见地重启运行中的 TUI（未修改的代码树上即已如此）。
+
+## Testing
+
+`packages/ui/app-boot/tests/config-reload.spec.ts` 用真实 Loader 树加载临时配置并固定以下行为：无效 YAML 编辑和空文件编辑都让 `refresh()` 正常 resolve 而不产生 rejection，并保留之前的配置项配置；随后的合法编辑正常生效；overlay 配置树在重新读取时重新应用配置项补丁和插入的配置项；对 include 配置项自身 `patches` 的热更新立即生效、在下一次文件重读后依然保持、并在补丁移除后干净地回退。这些断言在未打补丁的 vendor include 上会失败。

An effect's owner-list wrapper is registered before its setup body runs, so an unload begun from inside setup awaits setup and every collected cleanup; synchronous setup failure removes the wrapper and rolls back collected cleanup. Async cleanup stays owner-visible until quiescence, and Cordis's internal effect composition joins an already-running cleanup while repeated public disposer calls retain their upstream single-shot result. Effect creation is rejected while the owner is `UNLOADING` (while `PENDING` and `LOADING` remain legal), preventing cleanup-time registrations from escaping the unload snapshot. Child fibers register and receive their parent-owned disposer before `internal/plugin` publication, resolve dependency declarations added by that notification before activation, drain effects attached while pending, skip plugin execution when reentrant disposal invalidates the load epoch before its first checkpoint, and contain teardown-notification failures per observer so one callback cannot starve peers or interrupt ownership cleanup.
 7. **`cordis/src/*.ts` JSDoc enrichment**: added `@param`/`@returns` tags and contract documentation (disposal semantics, waterfall veto, bail conditions, error cases) across the public plugin-author surface — `Context` (class, statics, and the `Context` interface properties incl. `root`), `EventsService`, `Fiber`, `RegistryService`, `ReflectService`, `Service`, `LoggerService` and their `declare module './context.ts'` overloads. Comment-only; no code changes. Motivation: the website API-reference generator renders these docs and hard-errors on undocumented members. Retire this entry when the enrichment is upstreamed to the fork.
+8. **`include/src/index.ts` hot-reload hardening**: `refresh()` awaits the full read-and-update and catches failures (logging a warning and keeping the last good entry tree) instead of rethrowing — upstream's throw escaped `@cordisjs/plugin-hmr`'s async watcher callback as an unhandled rejection, so one bad `cordis.yml` edit killed a live app. `read()` rejects a non-array parse result (an empty or mid-write truncated file parses to `undefined`, which upstream later crashed on) and commits `content`/`data` only on success, so reverting an edit to the exact last good content reads as "unchanged". `refresh()` and the `internal/update` listener re-apply `config.patches` before `root.update()`, matching initial load; upstream applied patches only in `[Service.init]`, so any config hot-reload silently reverted overlay-patched entries and removed inserted ones. `applyPatches` deep-copies via `structuredClone` instead of mutating the cached parse (repeated application converges; removing a patch reverts), and the veto-style `internal/update` listener persists the incoming config itself (`Fiber.update` only assigns behind `next()`), so later re-reads use the new patches. `[Service.init]` falls back to `initial` only on `ENOENT`; an existing-but-invalid file fails loud with its real parse error instead of "config file not found" (or a silent overwrite). Covered by `packages/ui/app-boot/tests/config-reload.spec.ts`.

+# Agent Note: A collapsed sidebar retains its control rail
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-22-collapsed-sidebar-control-rail.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+The sidebar close action persisted `open: false`, and the layout mapped that preference to a zero-width grid track. The only sidebar toggle and the settings entry both lived inside that clipped track, so closing the sidebar removed every visible recovery control. Reloading preserved the closed preference and reproduced the lockout.
+
+## Decision
+
+The layout maps a closed sidebar to the fixed `SIDEBAR_COLLAPSED` width of 60px: one 28px icon control between the sidebar's 16px horizontal paddings. The compact rail participates in the concession solver and retains its right border, while the stored expanded width remains untouched.
+
+`AppFrame` marks the sidebar collapsed from the persisted `open` preference rather than from a zero resolved width. It keeps the sidebar slot mounted but removes the resize handle while collapsed.
+
+`SidebarRoot` subscribes to the derived open boolean. Its collapsed render removes the brand, creation controls, search, and session tree from the rendered and accessibility trees; the top control changes to `Expand sidebar`, and the bottom `Settings` control remains in the rail.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **Render an expand button over the center column** — rejected because it recovers only the toggle, not the persistent settings area, and splits sidebar chrome across two package owners.
+- **Keep a zero-width grid track and let the rail overflow it** — rejected because the rail would overlap the center column and leave hit testing and responsive geometry disconnected from the grid.
+- **Keep the complete sidebar tree mounted and hide it with clipping** — rejected because hidden controls remain in the semantic tree and continue subscribing and rendering even though only two controls belong in the collapsed state.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- A collapsed sidebar reserves 60px instead of yielding the entire width to the center column. Expanding restores the persisted width and drag behavior.
+- The settings entry remains visible but retains its existing placeholder behavior; this change does not introduce an account or settings screen.
+- Layout solver tests pin the compact width, sidebar component tests pin the visible controls, and the keyless real-bundle web smoke test pins collapse and recovery through the assembled client.

+# Agent Note: 侧边栏折叠后保留控制栏
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-22-collapsed-sidebar-control-rail.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+侧边栏关闭操作会持久化 `open: false`，布局再将该偏好映射为宽度为零的网格轨道。侧边栏唯一的开关与设置入口都位于这个被裁切的轨道内，因此关闭侧边栏会移除所有可见的恢复控件。页面重新加载时仍会读取关闭偏好，从而再次陷入无法恢复的状态。
+
+## 决策
+
+布局将关闭的侧边栏映射为固定的 `SIDEBAR_COLLAPSED` 宽度 60px：在侧边栏两侧各 16px 的水平内边距之间放置一个 28px 的图标控件。紧凑控制栏参与空间收缩求解，并保留右侧边框；已存储的展开宽度保持不变。
+
+`AppFrame` 根据持久化的 `open` 偏好标记侧边栏是否折叠，而不是根据求解后的宽度是否为零来判断。它让侧边栏插槽保持挂载，但在折叠时移除尺寸调整手柄。
+
+`SidebarRoot` 订阅派生的布尔型打开状态。折叠状态下的渲染会将品牌标识、创建控件、搜索框和会话树从渲染树与可访问性树中移除；顶部控件变为 `Expand sidebar`，底部的 `Settings` 控件则留在控制栏中。
+
+## 曾考虑的替代方案
+
+- **在中心列上方渲染展开按钮**：不予采纳，因为这只能恢复开关，无法保留常驻设置区域，同时还会让侧边栏 UI 由两个包（package）分别持有。
+- **保留宽度为零的网格轨道，让控制栏溢出显示**：不予采纳，因为控制栏会与中心列重叠，还会使命中测试和响应式几何关系脱离网格布局。
+- **保持完整侧边栏树挂载，并通过裁切将其隐藏**：不予采纳，因为隐藏控件仍留在语义树中，而且会继续订阅和渲染，尽管折叠状态下只需要两个控件。
+
+## 后果
+
+- 折叠的侧边栏占用 60px，而不是把全部宽度让给中心列。展开时恢复持久化宽度与拖动行为。
+- 设置入口持续可见，但保留既有占位行为；本次改动不提供账户或设置页面。
+- 布局求解器测试固定紧凑宽度，侧边栏组件测试固定可见控件，基于真实构建产物的无密钥 Web 冒烟测试则通过组装后的客户端固定折叠与恢复行为。

+Shell plugin: three-column AppFrame (drag handles, concession chain) + ctx.layout viewing-state service (nav, panel widths, persist); defines the sidebar/conversation/details/conversation.empty slots. A closed sidebar retains a 60px control rail while details closes to zero width. Contract: api-contracts v3 §5.
 
 Slot declarations use the composed-props entry form (`owner` share, no full `props`): the exported OwnerShare contracts are `SidebarOwnerProps` / `ConvOwnerProps` / `DetailsOwnerProps` / `EmptyOwnerProps` — registrants reference them via `OwnerOf<'sidebar' | ...>` and compose their own injected share locally. The `conversation` entry authorizes `conversation.empty` delegation through `children`.

Subject: [PATCH 05/32] fix(gui): keep sidebar controls when collapsed

A closed sidebar previously resolved to a zero-width grid track, clipping
the only toggle and the settings entry with no visible recovery; the closed
preference persisted across reloads, locking the sidebar shut.

- columns.ts maps the closed preference (width 0) to a fixed 60px
  SIDEBAR_COLLAPSED rail through every step of the concession solve;
  closed details still resolve to zero width.
- AppFrame derives data-sidebar-collapsed and the sidebar slot's collapsed
  owner prop from the persisted preference instead of the resolved track
  width, and drops the resize handle while collapsed.
- SidebarRoot reads the owner collapsed prop; the expanded-only body is a
  separate component that unmounts while collapsed (dropping its sessions
  subscription), leaving the expand toggle and Settings in the rail.
- The keyless web smoke gains the ui-sidebar bundle (six real bundles) and
  pins the 60px rail collapse/expand round through the assembled client.

 ## Problem
 
-The sidebar close action persisted `open: false`, and the layout mapped that preference to a zero-width grid track. The only sidebar toggle and the settings entry both lived inside that clipped track, so closing the sidebar removed every visible recovery control. Reloading preserved the closed preference and reproduced the lockout.

The only sidebar toggle and the settings entry both lived inside that clipped track, so closing the sidebar removed every visible recovery control. Reloading preserved the closed preference and reproduced the lockout.
 
 ## Decision
 
-The layout maps a closed sidebar to the fixed `SIDEBAR_COLLAPSED` width of 60px: one 28px icon control between the sidebar's 16px horizontal paddings. The compact rail participates in the concession solver and retains its right border, while the stored expanded width remains untouched.

The compact rail participates in the concession solver and retains its right border, while the stored expanded width remains untouched.
 
-`AppFrame` marks the sidebar collapsed from the persisted `open` preference rather than from a zero resolved width. It keeps the sidebar slot mounted but removes the resize handle while collapsed.

 ## 问题
 
-侧边栏关闭操作会持久化 `open: false`，布局再将该偏好映射为宽度为零的网格轨道。侧边栏唯一的开关与设置入口都位于这个被裁切的轨道内，因此关闭侧边栏会移除所有可见的恢复控件。页面重新加载时仍会读取关闭偏好，从而再次陷入无法恢复的状态。
+侧边栏关闭操作会持久化宽度偏好 `0`，布局再将该偏好映射为宽度为零的网格轨道。侧边栏唯一的开关与设置入口都位于这个被裁切的轨道内，因此关闭侧边栏会移除所有可见的恢复控件。页面重新加载时仍会读取关闭偏好，从而再次陷入无法恢复的状态。
 
 ## 决策
 
-布局将关闭的侧边栏映射为固定的 `SIDEBAR_COLLAPSED` 宽度 60px：在侧边栏两侧各 16px 的水平内边距之间放置一个 28px 的图标控件。紧凑控制栏参与空间收缩求解，并保留右侧边框；已存储的展开宽度保持不变。

+Sidebar plugin: session multi-level tree (cwd grouping + parentId nesting), search, by-workspace grouping, state dots, three creation entries. The collapsed render keeps the expand control and settings entry in the layout-owned compact rail. Contract: the [slot system standard](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-22-slot-type-chain-implementation.md).
 
 `src/client/contract/slots.ts` is the single-domain contract file: `SidebarRootInjected` (the registrant's own injected share — plain service callbacks: onOpen/onCreate/onToggleSidebar) and `SidebarRootComponentProps = PropsRuntime<'sidebar'> & SidebarRootInjected` (owner `{collapsed,width}` plus the standard `useSessions` hook, resolved off ui-layout's SlotMap declaration, never re-stated). `apply` registers SidebarRoot cast-free against that composition; the inject factory closes over the plugin's own ctx.

Subject: [PATCH 06/32] test(web): drop the stale fail-loud boot smoke case

Since the store engine moved into the client runtime, the ui-layout bundle
externalizes @deepseek-ai/dsh-client-runtime/client. This case's two-row
manifest (ui-layout + a deliberately absent probe) no longer boots ui-layout
at all: the unseeded runtime specifier fails it first, serial loading stops,
and the probe never reaches the failure list, so the assertion times out on
a premise the engine migration retired.

Subject: [PATCH 07/32] feat(gui): animate sidebar collapse and grow the rail
 control set
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The collapsed rail becomes a 56px icon column (24px controls between 16px
paddings) carrying expand, new session, search, and new workspace — each
aligned with its expanded counterpart; rail search expands the sidebar and
focuses the search box. Collapse/expand now animates: the frame transitions
grid-template-columns (and the surviving handle its left) on the deepsuite
sider curve — --ds-ease-in-out over --ds-transition-duration-slow, supplied
by ui-theme's base sheet. Transitions pause during drags (data-dragging on
the frame, set for the whole gesture) and under prefers-reduced-motion.

A closed sidebar retains a 56px control rail while details closes to zero width; collapse/expand animates the grid tracks on the deepsuite sider curve. Contract: api-contracts v3 §5.
 
 Slot declarations use the composed-props entry form (`owner` share, no full `props`): the exported OwnerShare contracts are `SidebarOwnerProps` / `ConvOwnerProps` / `DetailsOwnerProps` / `EmptyOwnerProps` — registrants reference them via `OwnerOf<'sidebar' | ...>` and compose their own injected share locally. No entry declares `children` (declaring it requires the registered component to carry the slots face — reserved for future business slots): delegation authority is the component-side whitelist, i.e. AppFrame's `ScopedSlots<FrameSlotKey>` face over sidebar/conversation/details/conversation.empty. Since the root-slot rework the frame itself registers into 'root' and renders those child slots at its own render sites; the shell only renders 'root'.

+Sidebar plugin: session multi-level tree (cwd grouping + parentId nesting), search, by-workspace grouping, state dots, three creation entries. The collapsed render is the layout-owned compact rail: expand / new session / search (expands and focuses the search box) / new workspace icons plus the settings entry. Contract: the [slot system standard](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-22-slot-type-chain-implementation.md).
 
 `src/client/contract/slots.ts` is the single-domain contract file: `SidebarRootInjected` (the registrant's own injected share — plain service callbacks: onOpen/onCreate/onToggleSidebar) and `SidebarRootComponentProps = PropsRuntime<'sidebar'> & SidebarRootInjected` (owner `{collapsed,width}` plus the standard `useSessions` hook, resolved off ui-layout's SlotMap declaration, never re-stated). `apply` registers SidebarRoot cast-free against that composition; the inject factory closes over the plugin's own ctx.

+# Agent Note: Effect-owned TUI interactive extensions
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-22-tui-interactive-extension-service.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+Cordis plugins can register human commands through `ctx.commands`, but a command that needs terminal interaction has no supported presentation boundary. It must either remain non-interactive or capture the TUI's private pi-tui tree, focus state, renderer, and shutdown lifecycle. That coupling makes the extension depend on one front door's internals, lets independently developed overlays compete for focus, and leaves plugin unload with no reliable way to remove queued or visible UI.
+
+## Decision
+
+A mounted `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui` provides `ctx.tui` after terminal startup succeeds. The service belongs to that exact terminal and agent, disappears before terminal teardown, and causes plugins that inject it to unload and reload with provider availability. Other front doors do not emulate it.
+
+`ctx.tui.openOverlay()` is the first and only interactive extension primitive. It accepts a component factory, constrained layout options, and an optional abort signal. The factory receives a frozen host with the current viewport, semantic theme functions, display-text escaping, redraw, close, and a lifetime signal. It does not receive the pi-tui `TUI`, overlay handle, editor, transcript tree, focus controller, or terminal object.
+
+One private overlay manager serializes built-in and plugin requests in FIFO order. The model selector and `ctx.userInteraction` question panel use the same manager, so all modal interaction has one focus owner. Closing the active overlay restores pi-tui's previous focus before the next request activates. Overlay state is process-local presentation: it is neither appended to the session log nor rebuilt during resume.
+
+The service method runs through Cordis's traceable service proxy. It installs an effect on the calling plugin fiber before admitting the request; caller disposal therefore removes a queued request or closes an active overlay and awaits the same settled outcome. TUI shutdown first rejects admission, then disposes the service fiber so dependent plugins and their effects quiesce, settles remaining built-in work, and only then drains and stops the terminal.
+
+Component construction, rendering, input, and invalidation run behind an exception boundary. A failure closes that request with an `error` outcome, reports a visible terminal error, and lets the queue continue. Components are trusted package code: their rendered lines may contain ANSI styling, and they must call `host.display()` before including untrusted text.
+
+## Verification
+
+Manager tests pin FIFO admission, cancellation, repeated close, shutdown outcomes, guarded callbacks, host capabilities, and per-file coverage. Cordis lifecycle tests pin caller ownership, provider loss and return, unloading-time rejection, and cleanup quiescence. Fake-terminal integration tests exercise plugin overlays alongside built-in questions, restored editor input, terminal remount, startup rollback, and service disappearance. Existing TUI interaction tests continue to exercise the model selector and question panel through the shared path.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Expose pi-tui objects directly.** This gives plugins maximum freedom but makes private focus, rendering, and teardown state a public compatibility contract. It also cannot arbitrate independently loaded overlays.
+
+**Put interactive callbacks on command definitions.** Commands are shared by TUI and ACP and remain useful without a terminal. Adding terminal state to `ctx.commands` would couple discovery and dispatch to one presentation implementation.
+
+**Create a complete TUI slot and action framework at once.** Actions, editor replacement, transcript renderers, status regions, and completion providers have different composition and conflict rules. Shipping them behind one broad API would freeze those rules before a concrete consumer proves them.
+
+**Persist open overlays in session events.** Modal presentation is not model-visible session state, and arbitrary component state is not replayable. The plugin that owns durable data records that data through its domain service and recreates presentation when appropriate.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Interactive plugins gain a small stable front door with deterministic focus and Cordis-owned cleanup, while the TUI keeps authority over terminal lifecycle and pi-tui internals. Built-in dialogs and extensions cannot overlap or strand focus.
+
+The API deliberately covers modal overlays only. Human command registration remains on `ctx.commands`; actions, slots, editor replacement, event renderers, and completion providers require separate contracts when real consumers establish their ordering and ownership semantics. FIFO serialization also means one stalled overlay blocks later modal work until its owner closes, aborts, or unloads it.

+# Agent Note: 由 effect 持有的 TUI 交互扩展
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-22-tui-interactive-extension-service.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+Cordis 插件可以通过 `ctx.commands` 注册用户命令，但需要终端交互的命令没有受支持的呈现边界。它只能保持非交互，或者捕获 TUI 私有的 pi-tui 树、焦点状态、渲染器和关闭生命周期。此类耦合会使扩展依赖某个入口的内部实现，让各自独立开发的浮层争抢焦点，并导致插件卸载时无法可靠移除排队中或已显示的 UI。
+
+## 决策
+
+挂载的 `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui` 在终端成功启动后提供 `ctx.tui`。该服务只属于挂载时绑定的终端与 agent（智能体），在终端拆卸前消失，并使注入它的插件随着提供方的可用与否卸载和重新加载。其他入口不会模拟该服务。
+
+`ctx.tui.openOverlay()` 是第一个也是唯一一个交互扩展原语。它接受组件工厂、受限的布局选项，以及可选的中止信号。工厂收到一个冻结的 host，其中包含当前视口、语义化主题函数、显示文本转义、重绘、关闭和生命周期信号。它不会收到 pi-tui `TUI`、浮层句柄、编辑器、transcript（文本记录）树、焦点控制器或终端对象。
+
+一个私有浮层管理器按 FIFO 顺序串行处理内置请求和插件请求。模型选择器与 `ctx.userInteraction` 问题面板使用同一个管理器，因此所有模态交互只有一个焦点所有者。关闭活动浮层时，系统会先恢复 pi-tui 之前的焦点，再激活下一项请求。浮层状态是进程本地的呈现状态：它既不会追加到会话日志，也不会在恢复期间重建。
+
+服务方法通过 Cordis 的可追踪服务代理运行。它在接纳请求前，向调用方插件的 fiber 注册一个 effect；因此，调用方执行 dispose（资源释放）时会移除排队中的请求或关闭活动浮层，并等待同一个结果完成结算。TUI 关闭时会先拒绝新请求，再 dispose 服务 fiber，让依赖插件及其 effect 完全静止，然后结算其余内置工作，最后才排空并停止终端。
+
+组件构造、渲染、输入与失效处理均在异常边界内运行。任何失败都会以 `error` 结果关闭对应请求、在终端中报告一条可见错误，并让队列继续处理。组件属于受信任的包代码：其渲染行可以包含 ANSI 样式，但加入不受信任的文本前必须调用 `host.display()`。
+
+## 验证
+
+管理器测试固定了 FIFO 准入、取消、重复关闭、关闭结果、受保护回调、host 能力和逐文件覆盖率。Cordis 生命周期测试固定了调用方所有权、提供方消失与恢复、卸载期间的拒绝，以及清理达到完全静止。模拟终端集成测试覆盖插件浮层与内置问题的协作、编辑器输入焦点恢复、终端重新挂载、启动回滚和服务消失。既有 TUI 交互测试继续通过共享路径覆盖模型选择器与问题面板。
+
+## 考虑过的替代方案
+
+**直接暴露 pi-tui 对象。** 这会赋予插件最大的自由度，却会把私有的焦点、渲染与拆卸状态变成公开兼容性契约，也无法在独立加载的浮层之间进行仲裁。
+
+**在命令定义中加入交互回调。** 命令由 TUI 与 ACP 共享，即使没有终端也仍然有用。向 `ctx.commands` 添加终端状态，会让发现与分派流程耦合到某一种呈现实现。
+
+**一次性建立完整的 TUI slot 与 action 框架。** action、编辑器替换、transcript 渲染器、状态区域和补全提供方具有不同的组合规则与冲突规则。在具体消费方验证这些规则之前就将其纳入一个宽泛 API，会过早固化这些规则。
+
+**将打开的浮层持久化为会话事件。** 模态呈现并非模型可见的会话状态，任意组件状态也无法回放。拥有持久数据的插件应通过自身的领域服务记录这些数据，并在适当时重新创建呈现。
+
+## 后果
+
+交互式插件获得一个小而稳定的入口，具备确定性的焦点管理和由 Cordis 持有的清理机制；TUI 则继续掌控终端生命周期和 pi-tui 内部实现。内置对话框与扩展无法重叠，也不会遗留失去归属的焦点。
+
+该 API 有意只覆盖模态浮层。用户命令仍然在 `ctx.commands` 上注册；action、slot、编辑器替换、事件渲染器和补全提供方需要另行设计契约，等待实际消费方确定其顺序与所有权语义。FIFO 串行处理也意味着，一个停滞的浮层会阻塞后续模态工作，直至其所有者关闭、中止或卸载该浮层。

 This package owns interactive terminal presentation and input only. It injects `agents`, [`commands`](../commands/README.md), `llm`, `systemPrompt`, `tokenMeter`, `tools`, and `userInteraction`, optionally reads a `skills` service (present only when one is mounted), then drives an agent created or resumed by app or developer code. Agent lifecycle, persistence, and the model-facing [`ask_user_question`](../tool-ask-user/README.md) tool remain separate composition entries.
 
+After terminal startup succeeds, the package provides the terminal-local `ctx.tui` extension service. A plugin that injects it can call `openOverlay()` with a component factory and constrained layout options; the host exposes the viewport, semantic theme, display-text escaping, redraw, close, and a lifetime signal, but not the pi-tui tree, terminal, focus controller, or overlay handle. Plugin overlays, the model selector, and user questions share one FIFO modal queue. Each request is an effect of the calling plugin fiber, so unload removes queued work or closes visible work before cleanup settles; terminal shutdown unloads dependents before stopping pi-tui. Overlay state is not logged or replayed. Component code is trusted and may render ANSI styling, but must pass untrusted text through `host.display()`. The [interactive-extension Agent Note](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-22-tui-interactive-extension-service.md) owns the boundary and rejected alternatives.
+
 The TUI rebuilds resumed history from the active session surface, renders Markdown responses and reasoning, applies each tool's `presentCall` / `presentResult` intent to terminal, diff, or generic cards, keeps the latest `todo/write` plan above the editor, and presents `ctx.userInteraction` questions in a wide bottom-left keyboard panel with progress, numbered options, and aligned descriptions. The latest logged session title becomes the header subtitle, with `welcome` before a title exists, and the terminal window title becomes `<session title> — <configured title>`. A durable `llm/retry` event retracts the failed step's live chunks and renders the scheduled retry count, delay, and failure in the transcript; success, exhaustion, and cancellation then settle through ordinary session events. The footer totals each logged model step's usage once, including failed attempts, while treating committed-message usage as a fallback for logs without a usage chunk. Its idle view compares token-meter pressure with `ctx.llm.resolveModelContext()` for the current route, displays `context unknown` when the adapter has no capacity metadata, and also shows tool-card mode and the current model with reasoning state; while the agent runs, an elapsed working indicator and `esc interrupt` replace that summary. Surface replacement events rebuild the transcript so compacted history does not reappear.
 
 An embedding may provide `TuiRuntime.formatCwd` when its logical workspace label differs from the session's host directory. The override changes only the footer label; tools continue to use the session `cwd`.

Subject: [PATCH 10/32] feat(gui): morph the sidebar collapse instead of
 swapping renders
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The collapse read as a hard cut: only the track width animated while the
panel content swapped instantly and the rail icons bore no relation to the
expanded layout. Now the four control rows persist across the transition —
collapse toggle, new session, new workspace, search, the same top-down
order as their expanded rows — and morph their geometry (row heights,
paddings, margins, capsule borders) on the deepsuite curve, so each rail
icon is its expanded control converging onto the 56px axis. Wide-only
content (brand, labels, input, session tree) cross-fades over 200ms, stays
mounted while the collapse animates, and unmounts at the 300ms settle,
still dropping the sessions subscription. The search query moves up to the
root and survives the round trip; rail search focuses the surviving input
after expand instead of remount-autofocus.

 `src/client/contract/slots.ts` is the single-domain contract file: `SidebarRootInjected` (the registrant's own injected share — plain service callbacks: onOpen/onCreate/onToggleSidebar) and `SidebarRootComponentProps = PropsRuntime<'sidebar'> & SidebarRootInjected` (owner `{collapsed,width}` plus the standard `useSessions` hook, resolved off ui-layout's SlotMap declaration, never re-stated). `apply` registers SidebarRoot cast-free against that composition; the inject factory closes over the plugin's own ctx.

+> **Superseded for pre-push:** [Local primary CI before push](2026-07-23-local-primary-ci-before-push.md) replaces the typecheck-only publication checkpoint with the exact primary CI inventory. The fast pre-commit decision remains in force; the pre-push design below records the policy this repository no longer uses.
+
 ## Problem
 
 An agent already runs the tests and checks that exercise its change, while commit, push, and CI can each repeat increasingly broad subsets of the same work. A full pre-push suite therefore delays every publication, amplifies unrelated local flakes, and gives no new signal when CI immediately runs the exhaustive matrix again.

+
 ## 问题
 
 agent（智能体）已经会运行能够覆盖自身改动的测试和检查，而提交、推送与 CI 可能分别重复其中范围越来越广的子集。因此，全量 pre-push 套件会拖慢每次推送，放大与当前改动无关的本地偶发失败，而且 CI 紧接着再次运行完整矩阵时不会提供新信号。

+
+## Problem
+
+Hosted CI can become unavailable before repository code executes because of account, billing, quota, or runner failures. A typecheck-only publication hook then permits a remote branch update without coverage, snapshot, documentation, build, package, or built-entrypoint evidence precisely when the hosted workflow cannot supply that signal.
+
+Focused checks remain the right feedback loop during implementation, but their selection depends on the author correctly predicting every affected contract. Publication needs one complete, mechanically owned local baseline that does not depend on the hosted control plane starting a job.
+
+## Decision
+
+[lefthook.yml](../../../../lefthook.yml) keeps pre-commit focused on staged lint, whitespace, and vendored-source metadata. Pre-push invokes `pnpm run check:pre-push` and blocks publication on any failure.
+
+The `check:pre-push` package script selects the `pre-push` mode in [scripts/run-gates.ts](../../../../scripts/run-gates.ts). Both `pre-push` and `ci-primary` return the same `ciPrimaryGates()` inventory, so the hook and the primary Node CI job cannot drift through separately maintained command lists. Build consumers retain their explicit scheduler dependencies, and `DSH_GATE_CONCURRENCY` remains the resource-control seam for constrained hosts.
+
+Authors still run focused checks while iterating. They do not run the full aggregate immediately before a normal push because the hook owns that one exhaustive local execution. A hook failure is fixed or reported as a blocker; bypass requires explicit approval.
+
+This contract is equivalent to the keyless primary Node CI aggregate on the current host. It does not claim the supported-version or operating-system matrix, Python SDK, real-provider, native, or sandbox workflow signals that require their own environments.
+
+## Supersedes
+
+This decision supersedes the pre-push half of [Fast local Git hooks](2026-07-22-fast-local-git-hooks.md). Its staged pre-commit design remains in force. It also restores the local publication role described by [Parallel pre-push gates](2026-07-06-parallel-pre-push-gates.md) without reviving a second gate inventory.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **Rely on restoring hosted CI availability** — repairs the immediate administrative failure but leaves publication without a baseline during the next control-plane or runner outage.
+- **Wire pre-push to `check:all`** — reuses a broad local command, but that inventory intentionally differs from the primary CI contract and would make “CI equivalent” inaccurate.
+- **Copy the CI commands into `lefthook.yml`** — makes the hook visibly comprehensive but creates a second inventory that can drift whenever CI changes.
+- **Keep typecheck-only pre-push and require a manual command during outages** — preserves low latency but relies on every author noticing the outage and remembering an exceptional procedure before each update.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Every normal push pays the primary CI aggregate's wall time and may be blocked by a repository-wide local failure unrelated to the outgoing diff. In return, every published revision has observed coverage, snapshots, documentation, build, package, and built-entrypoint evidence from one shared inventory even when hosted jobs never start.
+
+The result is local evidence, not a substitute for unavailable remote environments. Pull requests and handoffs report hosted billing, provider, platform, and pending states separately instead of presenting a successful macOS pre-push run as a green GitHub matrix.

+# Agent Note: 推送前本地运行主 CI
+
+Status: implemented

+
+## 问题
+
+托管 CI 可能会因账户、计费、配额或运行器故障，在仓库代码开始执行之前就不可用。此时，仅运行类型检查的发布钩子会允许更新远端分支，却缺少覆盖率、快照、文档、构建、包（package）和构建后入口点的证据；恰恰这时，托管工作流无法提供这些信号。
+
+实现期间，聚焦检查仍是正确的反馈循环，但检查选择取决于作者是否正确预判每项受影响的契约。发布需要一套由机制统一维护的完整本地基线，且不依赖托管控制平面能否启动作业。
+
+## 决策
+
+[lefthook.yml](../../../../lefthook.yml) 让 pre-commit 集中处理暂存文件 lint、空白错误和 vendor 源码元数据。Pre-push 调用 `pnpm run check:pre-push`，任何检查失败都会阻止发布。
+
+`check:pre-push` 包脚本从 [scripts/run-gates.ts](../../../../scripts/run-gates.ts) 中选择 `pre-push` 模式。`pre-push` 和 `ci-primary` 都返回同一份 `ciPrimaryGates()` 清单，因此钩子与主 Node CI 作业不会因分别维护命令列表而产生漂移。构建产物消费方仍保留对调度器的显式依赖关系，`DSH_GATE_CONCURRENCY` 仍是资源受限主机的资源控制 seam。
+
+作者在迭代时仍运行聚焦检查。正常推送前不立即运行全量聚合，因为钩子负责这一次全面的本地执行。钩子失败必须修复或报告为阻塞项；绕过钩子需要明确批准。
+
+本契约等同于当前主机上的 keyless 主 Node CI 聚合。它不代表已经取得受支持版本矩阵或操作系统矩阵、Python SDK、真实模型提供方、原生构建或沙箱工作流的信号；这些信号需要各自的环境才能取得。
+
+## 取代关系
+
+本决策取代[快速本地 Git 钩子](2026-07-22-fast-local-git-hooks.md)中有关 pre-push 的部分。其中面向暂存文件的 pre-commit 设计继续有效。它还恢复了[并行 pre-push 门禁](2026-07-06-parallel-pre-push-gates.md)中描述的本地发布职责，但没有重新引入第二份门禁清单。
+
+## 考虑过的替代方案
+
+- **依靠恢复托管 CI 可用性**——可以修复当前的管理性故障，但下一次控制平面或运行器中断时，发布流程仍没有基线。
+- **将 pre-push 接入 `check:all`**——能够复用一条广泛的本地命令，但其清单有意不同于主 CI 契约，会使「等同于 CI」的表述不准确。
+- **将 CI 命令复制到 `lefthook.yml`**——能够直观展示钩子的全面性，但会创建第二份清单，并在每次 CI 变更时产生漂移。
+- **保留仅运行类型检查的 pre-push，并要求中断期间手动运行命令**——能够维持低延迟，但依赖每位作者发现中断，并在每次更新前记得执行特殊流程。
+
+## 结果
+
+每次正常推送都要承担主 CI 聚合的实际耗时，也可能被与待推送 diff 无关的全仓本地失败阻塞。相应地，即使托管作业从未启动，每个已发布版本仍有一套由共享清单实际运行得出的覆盖率、快照、文档、构建、包和构建后入口点证据。
+
+该结果只是本地证据，不能代替不可用的远端环境。PR（Pull Request）和交接会分别报告托管服务计费、提供方、平台与待处理状态，而不会把一次成功的 macOS pre-push 运行表述成 GitHub 矩阵已通过。

 ### Run relevant checks locally
 
-Agents MUST run relevant tests and checks before pushing; select them with [dsh-pre-push-checks](.agents/skills/dsh-pre-push-checks/SKILL.md) and report only commands run.
+Agents MUST run focused checks while implementing; normal pre-push runs `check:pre-push`, the same primary Node inventory as `check:ci`. Select focused evidence with [dsh-pre-push-checks](.agents/skills/dsh-pre-push-checks/SKILL.md) and report only commands run.
 
 - Match evidence to the surface: focused tests for behavior, snapshots for model or user output, `doc-sync` for docs, build/hygiene and built smokes for published paths, and real-API e2e for provider behavior.
-- Never default to the full suite or repeat a passing check for commit or push. CI owns exhaustive coverage and the platform matrix; rehearse all locally only by explicit request, for CI diagnosis, or for an irreducibly repository-wide change.
+- Let the hook run the full aggregate once; never bypass a failure without explicit approval. Remote CI owns the platform and provider matrix.
 - `test:coverage`, not `test`, is the CI coverage gate ([why](docs/testing.md)).

 ## Git hooks

+lefthook is configured in `lefthook.yml` with fast commit-local checks and a comprehensive publication check:
 
 - `pre-commit` runs staged-file ESLint fixes, checks the staged diff for whitespace errors, and runs the vendor manifest guard.
-- `pre-push` runs only the incremental repository typecheck (`tsc -b` over the root solution, covering both the host and client aggregates).
+- `pre-push` invokes `pnpm run check:pre-push`, which selects the same primary Node gate inventory as `pnpm run check:ci` from `scripts/run-gates.ts`.
 
 The vendor manifest guard checks that changes under `vendor/*/src` are staged with the matching `vendor/README.md` manifest update. See `vendor/README.md` before editing vendored code.
 
-The hooks intentionally do not run tests, snapshots, documentation checks, builds, or hygiene. Contributors run the [checks relevant to the changed behavior](../AGENTS.md#run-relevant-checks-locally) once; CI owns exhaustive coverage, built-artifact smokes, and the Node 22.19, 24, and 26 compatibility matrix.
+Contributors run [checks relevant to the changed behavior](../AGENTS.md#run-relevant-checks-locally) while iterating. A normal push runs the complete local primary aggregate once and stops publication on any failure; do not run the same aggregate immediately before pushing.
 
-Contributors can opt into the comprehensive local gate set with `pnpm run check:all`. The command is independent of both Git hooks and is not an agent instruction.
+The pre-push result covers the keyless primary Node lane on the current host. It does not replace the supported-version and platform matrix, Python SDK tests, real-API e2e, or sandbox workflows. `pnpm run check:all` remains a broad opt-in development inventory; it is independent of both Git hooks and is not the publication contract.
 
 ## CI gates
 
-The keyless [CI workflow](../.github/workflows/ci.yml) groups independent gates into broad lanes and runs a smaller compatibility signal across supported Node versions. Artifact consumers wait for one build within their lane. The separate real-API workflow runs `pnpm run test:e2e` with its configured worker bound. See [scripts/run-gates.ts](../scripts/run-gates.ts) and the workflow files for the current gate and job inventory.

+贡献者在迭代过程中运行[与改动行为相关的检查](../AGENTS.md#run-relevant-checks-locally)。正常推送会在本地完整运行一次主 CI 聚合，并在任何检查失败时阻止发布；不要在推送前立即重复运行同一个聚合。

Subject: [PATCH 12/32] fix(gui): keep the label fade and pin the rail icons to
 one axis
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Two polish defects from the headless verification pass:

- .newSessionLabel/.footLabel declared their own transition shorthand,
  which replaced .wide's opacity fade entirely (shorthands do not merge) —
  the labels vanished instantly while everything else faded. The fade is
  restated alongside max-width.
- The rail icons drifted off a common vertical axis: the 56px track holds
  a 55px content box (1px column border), and the capsule rows kept their
  1px border-width in the collapsed state, shaving their content to 23px
  and pushing the search icon 2px right. Collapsed capsules now zero the
  border-width (transitioning border, not border-color), the root gives
  back the border pixel via asymmetric padding, and every surviving row
  centers its icon — five glyphs on the track's 28px center.

-> **Superseded for pre-push:** [Local primary CI before push](2026-07-23-local-primary-ci-before-push.md) replaces the typecheck-only publication checkpoint with the exact primary CI inventory. The fast pre-commit decision remains in force; the pre-push design below records the policy this repository no longer uses.
-
 ## Problem
 
 An agent already runs the tests and checks that exercise its change, while commit, push, and CI can each repeat increasingly broad subsets of the same work. A full pre-push suite therefore delays every publication, amplifies unrelated local flakes, and gives no new signal when CI immediately runs the exhaustive matrix again.

-
 ## 问题
 
 agent（智能体）已经会运行能够覆盖自身改动的测试和检查，而提交、推送与 CI 可能分别重复其中范围越来越广的子集。因此，全量 pre-push 套件会拖慢每次推送，放大与当前改动无关的本地偶发失败，而且 CI 紧接着再次运行完整矩阵时不会提供新信号。

-## Problem
-
-Hosted CI can become unavailable before repository code executes because of account, billing, quota, or runner failures. A typecheck-only publication hook then permits a remote branch update without coverage, snapshot, documentation, build, package, or built-entrypoint evidence precisely when the hosted workflow cannot supply that signal.
-
-Focused checks remain the right feedback loop during implementation, but their selection depends on the author correctly predicting every affected contract. Publication needs one complete, mechanically owned local baseline that does not depend on the hosted control plane starting a job.
-
-## Decision
-
-[lefthook.yml](../../../../lefthook.yml) keeps pre-commit focused on staged lint, whitespace, and vendored-source metadata. Pre-push invokes `pnpm run check:pre-push` and blocks publication on any failure.
-
-The `check:pre-push` package script selects the `pre-push` mode in [scripts/run-gates.ts](../../../../scripts/run-gates.ts). Both `pre-push` and `ci-primary` return the same `ciPrimaryGates()` inventory, so the hook and the primary Node CI job cannot drift through separately maintained command lists. Build consumers retain their explicit scheduler dependencies, and `DSH_GATE_CONCURRENCY` remains the resource-control seam for constrained hosts.
-
-Authors still run focused checks while iterating. They do not run the full aggregate immediately before a normal push because the hook owns that one exhaustive local execution. A hook failure is fixed or reported as a blocker; bypass requires explicit approval.
-
-This contract is equivalent to the keyless primary Node CI aggregate on the current host. It does not claim the supported-version or operating-system matrix, Python SDK, real-provider, native, or sandbox workflow signals that require their own environments.
-
-## Supersedes
-
-This decision supersedes the pre-push half of [Fast local Git hooks](2026-07-22-fast-local-git-hooks.md). Its staged pre-commit design remains in force. It also restores the local publication role described by [Parallel pre-push gates](2026-07-06-parallel-pre-push-gates.md) without reviving a second gate inventory.
-
-## Alternatives considered
-
-- **Rely on restoring hosted CI availability** — repairs the immediate administrative failure but leaves publication without a baseline during the next control-plane or runner outage.
-- **Wire pre-push to `check:all`** — reuses a broad local command, but that inventory intentionally differs from the primary CI contract and would make “CI equivalent” inaccurate.
-- **Copy the CI commands into `lefthook.yml`** — makes the hook visibly comprehensive but creates a second inventory that can drift whenever CI changes.
-- **Keep typecheck-only pre-push and require a manual command during outages** — preserves low latency but relies on every author noticing the outage and remembering an exceptional procedure before each update.
-
-## Consequences
-
-Every normal push pays the primary CI aggregate's wall time and may be blocked by a repository-wide local failure unrelated to the outgoing diff. In return, every published revision has observed coverage, snapshots, documentation, build, package, and built-entrypoint evidence from one shared inventory even when hosted jobs never start.
-
-The result is local evidence, not a substitute for unavailable remote environments. Pull requests and handoffs report hosted billing, provider, platform, and pending states separately instead of presenting a successful macOS pre-push run as a green GitHub matrix.

-## 问题
-
-托管 CI 可能会因账户、计费、配额或运行器故障，在仓库代码开始执行之前就不可用。此时，仅运行类型检查的发布钩子会允许更新远端分支，却缺少覆盖率、快照、文档、构建、包（package）和构建后入口点的证据；恰恰这时，托管工作流无法提供这些信号。
-
-实现期间，聚焦检查仍是正确的反馈循环，但检查选择取决于作者是否正确预判每项受影响的契约。发布需要一套由机制统一维护的完整本地基线，且不依赖托管控制平面能否启动作业。
-
-## 决策
-
-[lefthook.yml](../../../../lefthook.yml) 让 pre-commit 集中处理暂存文件 lint、空白错误和 vendor 源码元数据。Pre-push 调用 `pnpm run check:pre-push`，任何检查失败都会阻止发布。
-
-`check:pre-push` 包脚本从 [scripts/run-gates.ts](../../../../scripts/run-gates.ts) 中选择 `pre-push` 模式。`pre-push` 和 `ci-primary` 都返回同一份 `ciPrimaryGates()` 清单，因此钩子与主 Node CI 作业不会因分别维护命令列表而产生漂移。构建产物消费方仍保留对调度器的显式依赖关系，`DSH_GATE_CONCURRENCY` 仍是资源受限主机的资源控制 seam。
-
-作者在迭代时仍运行聚焦检查。正常推送前不立即运行全量聚合，因为钩子负责这一次全面的本地执行。钩子失败必须修复或报告为阻塞项；绕过钩子需要明确批准。
-
-本契约等同于当前主机上的 keyless 主 Node CI 聚合。它不代表已经取得受支持版本矩阵或操作系统矩阵、Python SDK、真实模型提供方、原生构建或沙箱工作流的信号；这些信号需要各自的环境才能取得。
-
-## 取代关系
-
-本决策取代[快速本地 Git 钩子](2026-07-22-fast-local-git-hooks.md)中有关 pre-push 的部分。其中面向暂存文件的 pre-commit 设计继续有效。它还恢复了[并行 pre-push 门禁](2026-07-06-parallel-pre-push-gates.md)中描述的本地发布职责，但没有重新引入第二份门禁清单。
-
-## 考虑过的替代方案
-
-- **依靠恢复托管 CI 可用性**——可以修复当前的管理性故障，但下一次控制平面或运行器中断时，发布流程仍没有基线。
-- **将 pre-push 接入 `check:all`**——能够复用一条广泛的本地命令，但其清单有意不同于主 CI 契约，会使「等同于 CI」的表述不准确。
-- **将 CI 命令复制到 `lefthook.yml`**——能够直观展示钩子的全面性，但会创建第二份清单，并在每次 CI 变更时产生漂移。
-- **保留仅运行类型检查的 pre-push，并要求中断期间手动运行命令**——能够维持低延迟，但依赖每位作者发现中断，并在每次更新前记得执行特殊流程。
-
-## 结果
-
-每次正常推送都要承担主 CI 聚合的实际耗时，也可能被与待推送 diff 无关的全仓本地失败阻塞。相应地，即使托管作业从未启动，每个已发布版本仍有一套由共享清单实际运行得出的覆盖率、快照、文档、构建、包和构建后入口点证据。
-
-该结果只是本地证据，不能代替不可用的远端环境。PR（Pull Request）和交接会分别报告托管服务计费、提供方、平台与待处理状态，而不会把一次成功的 macOS pre-push 运行表述成 GitHub 矩阵已通过。

+- `pre-push` runs only the incremental repository typecheck (`tsc -b` over the root solution, covering both the host and client aggregates).
 
 The vendor manifest guard checks that changes under `vendor/*/src` are staged with the matching `vendor/README.md` manifest update. See `vendor/README.md` before editing vendored code.
 
-Contributors run [checks relevant to the changed behavior](../AGENTS.md#run-relevant-checks-locally) while iterating. A normal push runs the complete local primary aggregate once and stops publication on any failure; do not run the same aggregate immediately before pushing.
+The hooks intentionally do not run tests, snapshots, documentation checks, builds, or hygiene. Contributors run the [checks relevant to the changed behavior](../AGENTS.md#run-relevant-checks-locally) once; CI owns exhaustive coverage, built-artifact smokes, and the Node 22.19, 24, and 26 compatibility matrix.
 
-The pre-push result covers the keyless primary Node lane on the current host. It does not replace the supported-version and platform matrix, Python SDK tests, real-API e2e, or sandbox workflows. `pnpm run check:all` remains a broad opt-in development inventory; it is independent of both Git hooks and is not the publication contract.
+Contributors can opt into the comprehensive local gate set with `pnpm run check:all`. The command is independent of both Git hooks and is not an agent instruction.
 
 ## CI gates
 
-The keyless [CI workflow](../.github/workflows/ci.yml) groups independent gates into broad lanes and runs a smaller compatibility signal across supported Node versions. Artifact consumers wait for one build within their lane. `check:pre-push` and the primary CI job share one gate inventory; the separate real-API workflow runs `pnpm run test:e2e` with its configured worker bound. See [scripts/run-gates.ts](../scripts/run-gates.ts) and the workflow files for the current gate and job inventory.

+lefthook 在 `lefthook.yml` 中配置，作为快速的本地检查点：
 
 - `pre-commit` 运行对暂存文件的 ESLint 修复，检查暂存 diff 中的空白错误，并运行 vendor manifest（元数据清单）守卫；
-- `pre-push` 调用 `pnpm run check:pre-push`；该命令从 `scripts/run-gates.ts` 中选择与 `pnpm run check:ci` 相同的主 Node 门禁清单。
+- `pre-push` 只运行仓库增量类型检查（对根 solution 执行 `tsc -b`，覆盖 host 与 client 两个聚合）。
 
 vendor manifest 守卫检查 `vendor/*/src` 下的改动是否连同对应的 `vendor/README.md` manifest 更新一起暂存。请在编辑 vendor 代码前先阅读 `vendor/README.md`。
 
-贡献者在迭代过程中运行[与改动行为相关的检查](../AGENTS.md#run-relevant-checks-locally)。正常推送会在本地完整运行一次主 CI 聚合，并在任何检查失败时阻止发布；不要在推送前立即重复运行同一个聚合。
+这些钩子有意不运行测试、快照、文档检查、构建或 `hygiene`。贡献者只运行一次[与改动行为相关的检查](../AGENTS.md#run-relevant-checks-locally)；CI 负责全量覆盖率门禁、构建产物冒烟测试，以及 Node 22.19、24 和 26 兼容性矩阵。
 
-pre-push 的结果覆盖当前主机上的 keyless 主 Node lane，但不能代替受支持版本与平台矩阵、Python SDK 测试、真实 API e2e 或沙箱工作流。`pnpm run check:all` 仍是一份广泛的可选开发检查清单；它独立于两个 Git 钩子，也不属于发布契约。
+贡献者可以选择运行 `pnpm run check:all`，执行全面的本地门禁集。该命令独立于两个 Git 钩子，也不是对 agent 的指令。
 
 ## CI 门禁
 
-keyless [CI 工作流](../.github/workflows/ci.yml) 将独立门禁分组到若干宽粒度 lane，并在受支持的 Node 版本上运行一组较小的兼容性检查。产物消费方在各自 lane 内等待一次 build。`check:pre-push` 与主 CI job 共用一份门禁清单；单独的真实 API 工作流按其配置的 worker 上限运行 `pnpm run test:e2e`。当前门禁和 job 清单以 [scripts/run-gates.ts](../scripts/run-gates.ts) 和工作流文件为准。

+# Agent Note: Thinking rows use one disclosure target
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-23-thinking-row-disclosure-target.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+A collapsed reasoning entry presents `Think` and its one-line reasoning summary as one visual row, but an icon-only disclosure control leaves both visible labels inert. Applying title expansion to every tool row would instead break the generic tool-row contract, where the row opens details and only the leading control expands arguments.
+
+## Decision
+
+`ToolRow` exposes the opt-in `expandOnRowClick` policy. `ThinkRow` enables it so the title and reasoning summary form one accessible disclosure target; pointer clicks, Enter, and Space toggle the same component-local expanded state. Tool rows that do not opt in retain row-to-details selection and leading-control argument expansion.
+
+## Verification
+
+The component spec pins both Think click targets and the unchanged generic tool-row handoff. The keyless browser fixture loads the real sidebar and conversation bundles, opens an authored reasoning session, clicks the summary and title, and checks the disclosure state and expanded body.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Expand every tool row from its title.** Generic tool rows use row clicks for details selection, so sharing this behavior would conflate two controls.
+
+**Keep icon-only disclosure.** The smallest hit target remains disconnected from the labels that describe the hidden content.
+
+**Render separate title and summary buttons.** Two controls for one expanded state add duplicate focus stops and ambiguous semantics.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Thinking rows gain a larger pointer target and keyboard disclosure semantics without changing other tool interactions. The generic row component carries one optional policy because disclosure ownership differs between reasoning and tool calls.

+# Agent Note: thinking 行使用单一展开目标
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-23-thinking-row-disclosure-target.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+折叠的推理（reasoning）条目在同一视觉行中呈现 `Think` 和单行推理摘要，但仅图标可展开会让两个可见标签都无法交互。若让所有工具行均可通过标题展开，又会破坏通用工具行的契约：整行负责打开详情，只有前导控件负责展开参数。
+
+## 决策
+
+`ToolRow` 提供显式启用的 `expandOnRowClick` 策略。`ThinkRow` 启用该策略，让标题和推理摘要组成单一且无障碍的展开目标；鼠标点击、Enter 和 Space 都切换同一个组件本地展开状态。未启用该策略的工具行仍由整行完成详情选择，由前导控件展开参数。
+
+## 验证
+
+组件测试固定两个 Think 点击目标以及未改变的通用工具行交接行为。无密钥浏览器 fixture（测试前置数据）加载真实的侧边栏与会话 bundle，打开包含推理内容的既定会话，点击摘要与标题，并检查展开状态和展开后的正文。
+
+## 考虑过的替代方案
+
+**让每个工具行都可通过标题展开。** 通用工具行将整行点击用于详情选择，共享这一行为会混淆两个控件。
+
+**保留仅图标展开。** 最小的点击目标仍与描述隐藏内容的标签脱节。
+
+**把标题和摘要分别渲染为按钮。** 两个控件共享一个展开状态，会增加重复的焦点停靠点并产生含糊语义。
+
+## 后果
+
+thinking 行获得更大的鼠标点击目标和键盘展开语义，同时不改变其他工具交互。通用行组件承担一个可选策略，因为推理与工具调用的展开所有权不同。

 ## Decision
 
-The implementation lives in `packages/context/workspace-context` as `@deepseek-ai/dsh-workspace-context`. It is a request-context extension, not a core service or a filesystem backend. `@deepseek-ai/dsh-agent-core` mounts it for both product front doors and forwards its config. The plugin consumes `agent/session-prefix`, `tools/post-execute`, and the optional `ctx.fs` capability.
+The implementation lives in `packages/context/workspace-context` as `@deepseek-ai/dsh-workspace-context`. It is a request-context extension, not a core service or a filesystem backend. The shared demo spine and Host Runtime mount it from an explicit `{ maxBytes } | false` deployment choice; `dsh web` enables a 65,536-byte budget while the Host Runtime's headless consumer disables it. The plugin consumes `agent/session-prefix`, `tools/post-execute`, and the optional `ctx.fs` capability.
 
 The plugin does not statically inject `fs`. Providerless product trees therefore boot normally and the plugin no-ops until a filesystem provider exists. All production reads go through that provider. Candidate probes resolve each path and stat the result, so a final-component symlink is followed to its target: a link to a regular file loads, while a missing path or a non-file target is a confirmed absence. Following repository-owned links across the trust boundary is a deliberate reversal of the original no-follow probe; the [instruction-symlink follow note](2026-07-21-follow-instruction-symlinks.md) owns that decision and its residual risk. The session-prefix signal and dynamic tool execution signal propagate through resolution, metadata probes, and streaming reads, so cancellation does not wait for an unrelated filesystem scan. A resolve or stat exception is classified as unavailable: it skips only that candidate and is never interpreted as the deletion of an already-loaded scope.

Initial instructions benefit from stable prefix caching, while nested and changed content remains durable and replayable. The generic session/agent context contract carries JSON metadata propagated through prompt-submit and post-tool `additionalContexts` arrays without flattening entries.
 
 Repository text remains untrusted input. Lower-authority user-role framing, explicit precedence language, and delimiter escaping reduce risk but do not eliminate prompt injection. Following a candidate symlink to its target widens that surface to off-tree content, so the permission and sandbox layers that confine `ctx.fs` to trusted roots are the boundary that treats workspace files as data rather than authority (the [instruction-symlink follow note](2026-07-21-follow-instruction-symlinks.md) owns the residual risk).

 ## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
 
 - **`respond` is a stub** — it always returns `not-pending`; the approval/question pending registry (stable-rpcId mint on accept, baseline replay on stream reopen, wire answerer) is the next host-side step.
-- **`session.list` covers live sessions only** — cold sessions in the persistence directory are not yet merged into the listing; `host.describe.version` is a placeholder rather than the `apps/cli` package version.
+- **`host.describe.version` is a placeholder** — it does not yet report the `apps/cli` package version.
 - **The assembly is fixed** — per-deployment plugin selection (user profile, log sinks, alternative persistence) has a documented home here but no configuration surface yet.

The optimized scheduler still should not be its own only completeness oracle: a defect in its gate inventory or dependency graph could omit work while the optimized job stays green.
+The pull-request workflow consolidates required checks into dedicated Linux and Windows jobs. Those jobs still should not be the only completeness oracle: a defect in their gate inventory or dependency graph could omit work while the required aggregate stays green.
 
 Encoding the one-minute non-Windows target and three-minute Windows target as job timeouts creates a separate failure mode. Hosted-runner startup and performance vary, so a correct gate can be cancelled at the target boundary before it emits useful diagnostics. The performance objective needs measurement against GitHub timestamps, while correctness needs enough time to finish.

 ## Decision
 
-[CI](../../../../.github/workflows/ci.yml) gives pull-request and master-push events complementary responsibilities. Pull requests run only the optimized larger-runner and compatibility jobs. A push to `master` skips those jobs and runs three explicit references named `serial / linux`, `serial / macos`, and `serial / windows`. They intentionally duplicate their short checkout, runtime setup, and immutable install sequences instead of hiding the operating systems behind a matrix or reusable workflow. `workflow_dispatch` is reserved for runner benchmarks.
+[CI](../../../../.github/workflows/ci.yml) gives pull-request and master-push events complementary responsibilities. Pull requests run consolidated Linux and Windows jobs plus the Node compatibility and Python contracts on standard GitHub-hosted capacity. A push to `master` skips those jobs and runs three explicit references named `serial / linux`, `serial / macos`, and `serial / windows`. They intentionally duplicate their short checkout, runtime setup, and immutable install sequences instead of hiding the operating systems behind a matrix or reusable workflow. `workflow_dispatch` is reserved for runner benchmarks.
 
 Each reference job runs `pnpm run check:ci` without any shard selector. `DSH_GATE_CONCURRENCY=1` makes the top-level aggregate execute one ready gate at a time; coverage, snapshot replay, built-bin smoke, and publication validation also receive worker counts of one. The three operating-system jobs may run beside one another, but each host's repository gates are serial and complete. Linux installs bubblewrap before replaying snapshots, and Windows enables Developer Mode before installing the symlinked workspace.
 
-Master reference jobs are diagnostic and do not participate in the pull request's required `all checks passed` result. A pull request runs only the optimized jobs; a master push runs only the three serial references. The one-minute non-Windows and three-minute Windows objectives are evaluated from completed hosted-job timestamps and reported as measurements; they are not `timeout-minutes` values.

-The portable reference uses GitHub's standard `ubuntu-latest`, `macos-latest`, and `windows-2025` labels. A higher-core hosted runner remains a possible future benchmark, but it is not the default: larger runners require organization-owned labels and provisioning, while a reference oracle should remain runnable without repository-external runner configuration. Provisioning one later can change the performance experiment without changing this correctness baseline.
+The portable reference uses GitHub's standard `ubuntu-latest`, `macos-latest`, and `windows-2025` labels. Required pull-request jobs use the same portable Linux and Windows capacity under the [required-CI decision](2026-07-23-portable-required-pull-request-ci.md). Higher-core hosted runners remain manual benchmarks because a correctness path must remain runnable without repository-external runner configuration.
 
 ## Alternatives considered
 
 - **Set each timeout equal to its latency target** - rejected because scheduling variance would cancel correct work and suppress the evidence needed to diagnose a regression.
 - **Trust only the concurrent primary inventory** - rejected because scheduling and validation share implementation assumptions; a serial aggregate is an independent completeness check.
-- **Run the serial references on every pull request** - rejected because they deliberately trade wall time and runner consumption for simplicity and are not needed in the fast feedback loop.
+- **Run the serial references on every pull request** - rejected because they duplicate complete cross-platform aggregates and add macOS work to every change; the required jobs already execute the blocking Linux and Windows contracts.
 - **Use one operating-system matrix** - rejected because three named jobs make the reference surface visible without another selection mechanism.
-- **Run the serial reference on larger runners** - rejected because the reference is the portable fallback for the organization-specific pull-request topology. The fast pull-request path uses provisioned larger runners; the serial master path keeps standard labels.
+- **Run the serial reference on larger runners** - rejected because both required CI and its independent reference must remain runnable when organization-owned pools cannot allocate jobs.

 The organization keeps twelve x64 larger-runner pools in the repo-restricted `dsh-larger-ci` group: Ubuntu 24.04 and Windows 2025 at 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 96 cores. Public IPs are disabled. Each pool has an autoscaling ceiling of 256; the ceiling does not allocate idle machines or remove the need to bound workflow demand.
 
-Production CI uses five larger-runner executions and one standard-runner aggregator. The primary Node inventory is not sharded:
-
-- `node 24 / complete` uses one 96-core Linux runner. One checkout, direct selection of the image's preinstalled Node 24 toolcache, pnpm- and ESLint-cache restore, and install feeds all 42 primary gates. `run-gates` starts up to 10 independent gates; ESLint and coverage use at most 16 workers, and snapshot replay uses at most 8. Build starts as soon as the first short gates release scheduler slots, while snapshot replay and publication consumers retain explicit dependencies on emitted `lib/` output. Pull requests restore both caches without saving them, so cache compression and upload do not extend the required job; the master serial reference refreshes those caches outside the pull-request critical path. An uncached exact-head trace put ESLint at 38.11 seconds and coverage at 37.10 seconds, so the small ESLint restore remains useful on the critical path. The read-only job does not persist checkout credentials.
-- Node 22.19 and Node 26 use the 4- and 32-core Linux pools for their runtime compatibility smokes. Python 3.10 uses the 8-core Linux pool for the complete keyless SDK suite. These are environment contracts, not slices of the primary Node gate inventory.
-- `windows node 24 / complete` uses one 32-core Windows runner. One preparation wave feeds the required package build, required production site build, and complete observational portability inventory. Required failures fail the job; observational failures are reported as non-blocking. ESLint stays single-threaded because 16 ESLint workers took 174.54 seconds, coverage uses at most 12 workers, and the outer scheduler retains 16 slots. The job restores only the small master-refreshed ESLint cache and performs a clean pnpm install instead of restoring or saving the many-file package store. All six Windows larger-runner sizes completed install and the production-site benchmark without mutating the machine-wide Developer Mode registry key, so the pull-request critical path omits that redundant step.
+The pools are measurement infrastructure, not a dependency of ordinary pull requests. The [portable required-CI decision](2026-07-23-portable-required-pull-request-ci.md) runs branch-protection jobs on standard GitHub-hosted capacity; `suite=larger-runner-benchmark` compares isolated critical lanes across every provisioned size, and `suite=consolidated-runner-benchmark` compares whole aggregates. Each benchmark reports its observed processor and memory capacity before running repository work.
 
 The former gate-level and coarse primary shard jobs are absent from the workflow. Their static, lint, coverage, snapshot, and scenario shard selectors are also absent from the repository, so an unused diagnostic path cannot preserve a second CI architecture.

-The larger client package graph makes cache mechanics and scheduler pressure part of the measured workload. In [one exact-head production run](https://github.com/deepseek-harness/deepseek-harness/actions/runs/29912577681), Linux spent 39 seconds in repository gates but 69 seconds in the complete job, while Windows spent 117 seconds in repository gates and 228 seconds in the complete job.

A [cacheless all-size trace](https://github.com/deepseek-harness/deepseek-harness/actions/runs/29913033155) completed the same 32-core Windows install in 27 seconds. Production therefore avoids the Windows package-store cache, uses restore-only caches on latency-critical pull-request jobs, and bounds outer concurrency so typecheck, lint, coverage, and build do not oversubscribe one host.

A future larger-runner rollout therefore needs complete-job measurements rather than gate-only timing.
 
-Three host effects remain part of the decision. A standard Node 26 job once spent 36 of its 67 seconds in `Set up job`, which is why environment contracts use distinct larger-runner pools instead of standard capacity. The setup-node action later spent 3.68 seconds printing cached Linux environment details and 46.56 seconds doing the same on Windows after both had already found Node 24.18.0 in the hosted toolcache. The two latency-critical jobs select the newest preinstalled 24.x directory directly, verify its major, and fail loud if the image no longer carries it; compatibility jobs retain setup-node because selecting a non-default runtime is their contract. A Linux candidate also spent 18 seconds registering a 50 KB Bubblewrap package because the hosted image scanned 202,507 package-database files. [`scripts/prepare-ci-bubblewrap.sh`](../../../../scripts/prepare-ci-bubblewrap.sh) instead verifies and extracts the pinned payload into the ephemeral runner directory, runs a functional confinement probe, and overlaps that preparation with dependency installation.

An [exact-head 32-worker ESLint experiment](https://github.com/deepseek-harness/deepseek-harness/actions/runs/29918329463) slowed lint to 52.28 seconds and coverage to 42.71 seconds, where an adapter idle-timeout test failed. A later 8-gate trace reduced coverage to 35.17 seconds but delayed the production-site build until the aggregate reached 41.06 seconds. Production therefore retains 16 ESLint workers and admits 10 independent repository gates at once, leaving capacity for the worker pools owned by those gates without starving later independent work.

A later 8-gate trace reduced coverage to 35.17 seconds but delayed the production-site build until the aggregate reached 41.06 seconds. Core count therefore does not justify copying an equally large worker limit.
 
-Linux coverage caps each project at 16 workers, while Windows keeps the 12-worker cap. The process-bound project contains exactly five suite files, so its fork count cannot reach either cap. Thirty-two forks crashed Node 24's CJS lexer twice, and a later 16-fork run reproduced the worker loss and invalid coverage result. The single Vitest invocation therefore uses threads for the broad inventory and reserves forks for suites that exercise process-global state, `process` APIs, or timing-sensitive process I/O. That narrow fork inventory includes the local bash process-plumbing suite: under aggregate gate contention its thread worker completed every test but intermittently missed the stdin-error callback needed for per-file function coverage. It also includes the pi-ai adapter suite after two hosted aggregate runs delayed an idle-watchdog socket-close observation past its 100-millisecond test deadline. A 32-worker all-gate run on the 96-core host slowed coverage to 44.6 seconds and made a compute-budget regression cross its one-second threshold, so production stops at 16. This preserves the suites' isolation contracts and deterministic coverage while avoiding forked execution for ordinary test files.

 ## Consequences
 
-Primary Node CI has one job, one setup wave, one complete gate inventory, and no shard selectors. Together with two Node compatibility executions, Python, and Windows, production has five paid larger-runner executions instead of seven coarse-lane executions or 49 gate-level executions.
+The benchmark topology pays one setup wave per measured aggregate and retains no shard selectors. It runs paid larger-runner executions only when manually dispatched instead of charging every pull request.
 
-GitHub rounds each larger-runner execution up to a whole minute, so eliminating setup waves reduces billed time as well as workflow complexity. The final aggregator remains on a standard runner because it begins only after the paid jobs release capacity.
+GitHub rounds each larger-runner execution up to a whole minute, so whole-aggregate measurement exposes both billed time and workflow complexity without making that cost part of branch protection.

+# Agent Note: Portable required pull-request CI
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-23-portable-required-pull-request-ci.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+Required pull-request jobs assigned to organization-owned runner labels remain queued when GitHub cannot allocate those pools. The workflow is valid and standard GitHub-hosted jobs can still pass, but `all checks passed` never starts and an otherwise healthy pull request cannot satisfy branch protection.
+
+Billing health, a runner definition's `Ready` state, and a large autoscaling ceiling do not prove that a named pool can receive a job. Required correctness checks need a portable execution path that does not depend on repository-external runner provisioning.
+
+## Decision
+
+[CI](../../../../.github/workflows/ci.yml) runs every required pull-request job on GitHub's standard `ubuntu-latest` or `windows-2025` capacity. The primary Node and Windows jobs keep their complete consolidated inventories, while top-level gates, coverage, ESLint, publint, and snapshot replay use one worker on the smaller hosts. Node versions are selected through `actions/setup-node`, and the Windows job enables Developer Mode before installing the symlinked workspace.
+
+The `node 24 / complete`, Node compatibility, Python SDK, and `windows node 24 / complete` jobs remain dependencies of `all checks passed`; no gate is removed or made observational to recover availability. Branch protection continues to require `e2e` and `all checks passed`.
+
+The two manual larger-runner suites and all twelve organization-owned labels remain available for measurement. They do not participate in ordinary pull requests. The [larger-runner measurements](2026-07-22-evidence-based-larger-hosted-runners.md) remain evidence for future performance work, while the [serial cross-platform reference](2026-07-21-serial-cross-platform-ci-reference.md) remains the independent master-push completeness check.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Wait for organization-runner allocation to recover.** A queue with no assigned runner emits no repository diagnostic and can block every pull request indefinitely, so an external recovery is not a correctness path.
+
+**Use only the smallest organization-owned pools.** Every named pool crosses the same organization allocation boundary; reducing core count does not remove the dependency that caused the queue.
+
+**Skip or demote checks while capacity is unavailable.** This would make the status green by dropping evidence rather than by running the repository's required contracts.
+
+**Keep larger-host worker limits on standard runners.** Concurrent full-repository gates and their inner worker pools can oversubscribe the smaller memory and CPU allocation, turning an availability repair into contention failures.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Ordinary pull requests can acquire runners without organization-specific configuration, and a live exact-head run proves the same commands that branch protection consumes. The trade-off is longer elapsed time and more rounded standard-runner minutes than the measured larger-runner topology.
+
+Manual larger-runner benchmarks can remain queued without blocking pull requests. Restoring larger runners to the required path needs a separate evidence-based decision after exact-head jobs receive nonzero runner IDs and complete reliably; changing a definition's status alone is insufficient.

+# Agent Note: 可移植的拉取请求必需 CI
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-23-portable-required-pull-request-ci.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+分配到组织自有运行器标签的拉取请求必需作业，在 GitHub 无法为这些池分配运行器时会持续排队。工作流本身有效，GitHub 标准托管作业仍能通过，但 `all checks passed` 始终无法启动，原本健康的拉取请求因此无法满足分支保护要求。
+
+账单状态正常、运行器定义处于 `Ready` 状态以及较高的自动扩缩容上限，都不能证明指定的运行器池可以接收作业。必需的正确性检查需要一条可移植的执行路径，且该路径不能依赖仓库外部的运行器预配。
+
+## 决策
+
+[CI](../../../../.github/workflows/ci.yml) 在 GitHub 标准的 `ubuntu-latest` 或 `windows-2025` 容量上运行每项拉取请求必需作业。主 Node 作业和 Windows 作业保留各自完整的合并清单，而顶层门禁、覆盖率、ESLint、publint 和快照回放在这些较小的主机上均使用 1 个工作线程。Node 版本通过 `actions/setup-node` 选择；Windows 作业会在安装采用符号链接的工作区前启用开发人员模式。
+
+`node 24 / complete`、Node 兼容性、Python SDK 和 `windows node 24 / complete` 作业继续作为 `all checks passed` 的依赖项；为恢复可用性，不会移除任何门禁，也不会将其降为观测性检查。分支保护继续要求 `e2e` 和 `all checks passed`。
+
+两项手动大型运行器套件和全部 12 个组织自有标签继续用于测量，但不参与普通拉取请求。[大型运行器测量结果](2026-07-22-evidence-based-larger-hosted-runners.md)继续作为后续性能工作的证据，[跨平台串行参考流程](2026-07-21-serial-cross-platform-ci-reference.md)则继续作为 master 推送时独立的完整性检查。
+
+## 曾考虑的替代方案
+
+**等待组织运行器恢复分配。** 未分配运行器的队列不会产生仓库诊断信息，而且可能无限期阻塞每个拉取请求，因此依赖外部恢复不能构成正确性路径。
+
+**仅使用最小的组织自有运行器池。** 每个指定的运行器池都需要经过相同的组织分配边界；减少核心数不能消除导致作业排队的依赖。
+
+**在容量不可用时跳过检查或降低其级别。** 这种方式通过丢弃证据而非执行仓库的必需契约来使状态变绿。
+
+**在标准运行器上保留大型主机的工作线程上限。** 完整仓库门禁及其内层工作线程池并发运行时，可能超出较小主机的内存和 CPU 配额，使可用性修复变成资源争用故障。
+
+## 后果
+
+普通拉取请求无需组织专有配置即可获得运行器，一次实际的分支头精确运行能够证明分支保护使用的同一组命令。代价是，与实测的大型运行器拓扑相比，总耗时更长，而且按整分钟计费的标准运行器用量更多。
+
+手动大型运行器基准测试可以继续排队，而不会阻塞拉取请求。要将大型运行器恢复为必需路径，需要在分支头精确作业获得非零运行器 ID 并可靠完成后，另行作出基于证据的决策；仅改变运行器定义的状态还不够。

 Per-session UI state (selection, composer draft, active view) lives in the declared chat store (`stores.ts` `createChatStore`): apply constructs one handle and passes it to both the conversation and details registrations, so the two session slots share one instance per session (selection written by conversation, read by details) and the framework owns instance lifecycle and draft persistence. Components are pure — the framework standard kit (`useSession`/`sessionId`/`useSessions`) and the store faces (`useStore`/`actions`) arrive automatically from the registration declaration; the inject factories contribute plain data and callbacks only (send/stop choreography, view registry read face, startSession chain).
 
 `src/client/` is organized for the future package split: `contract/` is the sole inter-domain shared face (`slots.ts` composed slot props, `views.ts` view ring, `toolview.ts` tool ring, `tool-call-model.ts`); the `skeleton/`, `chat/`, and `toolviews/` domain directories import contract files and never each other; `apply.ts` is the only assembly point allowed to import all three domains. The `/client` export surface is the contract only — `apply`/`inject`, the two service classes, and the `contract/` type families; implementation components (skeleton, chat rows) and the store factory stay internal and reach the page exclusively through apply's slot registrations (tests take them via the `./src/*` subpath).

+- **With-key:** start the real ACP composition in read-only mode, let a model-driven bash write hit the runner's denial marker, then drive the bridge answerer and disk effect through granted and rejected workspace-write retries; unavailable credentials or runners self-skip.
 - **Snapshot:** pin the permission config-option wire, preset and knob events, prompt deltas and notices, and both scripted approval branches. A real ACP example scenario places its session under the user home while the deployment fallback points at `/tmp`, then pins a successful workspace-write mutation; this distinguishes session-root resolution from the process fallback without depending on runner-specific denial text. Other snapshots start unconfined so unrelated fixtures remain platform-independent, and policy scenarios switch explicitly.

+# Agent Note: Browser demo GIF recording
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-23-browser-demo-gif-recording.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+Browser demonstrations have been assembled with one-off capture and encoding commands. That makes timing and output size inconsistent, encourages continuous recordings that obscure the useful state changes, and can blur the boundary between a genuine server or API flow and a fixture. Combining local recording with attachment upload or pull-request editing also gives a media task unrelated remote-write authority.
+
+## Decision
+
+The repository provides the [`record-browser-gif`](../../../skills/record-browser-gif/SKILL.md) skill for local browser-demo artifacts. It uses the available browser-control workflow, establishes whether the requested flow is real, fixture-backed, or otherwise simulated, and captures a small storyboard only after semantically observable UI states. Frames and the output live outside the Git worktree by default.
+
+The bundled `encode_gif.py` helper orders frames lexically, assigns explicit hold durations, uses an `ffmpeg` palette pipeline, and validates source dimensions plus the encoded frame count, dimensions, duration, and byte limit through `ffprobe`. The workflow stops after returning the verified absolute GIF path; uploading the artifact and mutating a pull request, issue, or document remain separate workflows.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Record continuous video and convert it afterward.** Continuous capture preserves every cursor movement and loading transition but produces larger, noisier artifacts and makes deterministic timing harder. A state storyboard better fits short feature demonstrations where the meaningful evidence is a handful of visible transitions.
+
+**Keep an inline `ffmpeg` recipe in the skill.** Reconstructing quoting, timing manifests, palette filters, overwrite behavior, and post-encode checks in every run is error-prone. A bundled helper keeps those mechanics executable while the skill owns capture judgment.
+
+**Include GitHub attachment and description editing.** Upload and remote mutation require separate authentication, confirmation, and recovery rules. Excluding them keeps invocation of a recording skill local and reversible.
+
+**Use a fixture whenever it is easier to stage.** Fixtures are valid when the requested demonstration is explicitly fixture-backed, but they do not substantiate a real-server or real-API claim. The skill preserves the requested provenance and reports a missing prerequisite instead of silently changing it.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Recordings are small, repeatable local artifacts with explicit provenance and a clean repository boundary. The workflow gives up smooth continuous motion, depends on locally available `ffmpeg` and `ffprobe`, and requires the recorder to identify semantic capture points. The helper is exercised against a four-state browser demonstration and invalid duration input; skill shape and repository links are covered by the skill validator and documentation gates.

+# Agent Note: 浏览器演示 GIF 录制
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-23-browser-demo-gif-recording.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+浏览器演示一直通过一次性的截取与编码命令制作。这会导致播放节奏和输出大小不一致，容易让录制者选择连续录制，反而掩盖有用的状态变化，还可能模糊真实服务器或 API 流程与 fixture（测试前置数据）之间的界限。将本地录制与附件上传或 PR（Pull Request）编辑合并在同一任务中，还会让本应仅处理媒体的任务获得无关的远程写入权限。
+
+## 决策
+
+仓库提供 [`record-browser-gif`](../../../skills/record-browser-gif/SKILL.md) skill（技能），用于生成本地浏览器演示产物。该 skill 使用当前可用的浏览器控制工作流，先确认请求的流程是真实流程、由 fixture 支撑，还是采用其他模拟方式，再仅在 UI 达到语义上可观察的状态后截取一组精简的分镜帧。帧文件与输出产物默认存放在 Git worktree 之外。
+
+随附的 `encode_gif.py` 辅助脚本按词法顺序排列各帧，为每帧设置明确的停留时长，通过 `ffmpeg` 调色板流水线编码，并借助 `ffprobe` 校验源图像尺寸以及编码结果的帧数、尺寸、时长和字节上限。工作流在返回已验证的 GIF 绝对路径后即结束；上传产物以及修改 PR、issue 或文档仍属于独立的工作流。
+
+## 曾考虑的替代方案
+
+**连续录制视频后再转换。**连续录制能保留每一次光标移动和加载过渡，但会产生体积更大、干扰更多的产物，也更难保持确定的播放时序。状态分镜更适合简短的功能演示，因为有意义的证据只是少数几个可见的状态变化。
+
+**在 skill 中保留内联 `ffmpeg` 配方。**每次运行都重新组装引号转义、时序清单、调色板过滤器、覆盖行为和编码后检查，容易出错。随附的辅助脚本使这些机制保持可执行，skill 则负责判断何时截取画面。
+
+**纳入 GitHub 附件上传与描述编辑。**上传和远程修改需要各自独立的身份认证、确认与恢复规则。将它们排除在外，可以使录制 skill 的调用保持本地且可撤销。
+
+**每当 fixture 更容易布置时就使用它。**当请求明确要求由 fixture 支撑演示时，使用 fixture 是有效的；但它无法为真实服务器或真实 API 的声明提供证据。该 skill 会保持请求指定的演示来源，并在缺少先决条件时报告问题，不会擅自更改来源。
+
+## 后果
+
+录制结果成为体积小、可重复生成的本地产物，明确标注演示来源，并与仓库保持清晰边界。该工作流放弃了流畅的连续动态效果，依赖本机提供的 `ffmpeg` 和 `ffprobe`，并要求录制者识别具有语义意义的截取时点。测试使用四状态浏览器演示与无效时长输入检验辅助脚本；skill 的结构及仓库链接由 skill 校验器和文档门禁覆盖。

+name: record-browser-gif
+description: Record browser or Web UI interaction demos as optimized local GIFs using the available built-in browser, state-based frame capture, and deterministic encoding. Use when Codex is asked to make, record, or generate a GIF that demonstrates a browser workflow, including real-server or real-API behavior. Stop after returning the verified local artifact; do not upload it or edit a pull request.
+---
+
+# Record Browser GIF
+
+Produce a short, truthful UI demonstration as a local GIF. Use the browser-control skill for interaction and the bundled encoder for repeatable timing, dimensions, and size.
+
+## Keep the boundary explicit
+
+- Produce frame images and one local `.gif` artifact only.
+- Never upload the artifact, post a comment, or change a pull request, issue, or document under this skill. Hand those actions to a separate workflow if the user requests them.
+- Preserve the requested provenance. A real-server or real-API demo must not use fixture queries, mock transports, synthetic event injection, or test-only hooks. If credentials or the server are unavailable, report that limitation instead of substituting a fixture.
+- Never read or expose credential values. Use the application's normal configuration path and a benign demonstration prompt.
+
+## Record the flow
+
+1. Invoke the available browser-control skill and follow its setup, interaction, and cleanup instructions. Use the user's existing Chrome state only when requested or required.
+2. Resolve the evidence boundary before recording: identify the exact origin, whether the app is built or in development, the transport, and any fixture or mock mode. Record only claims that the observed setup supports.
+3. Choose three to six states that tell one story, such as initial, typed, submitted, and completed. Prefer semantic state changes over continuous capture; omit loading churn that does not help the viewer.
+4. Keep one viewport and crop for every frame. Store frames in an absolute artifact directory outside the Git worktree unless the user requests another location, and name them lexically: `00-initial.png`, `01-typed.png`, and so on.
+5. Before each screenshot, wait for a concrete UI condition such as a unique label, enabled control, changed document title, or completed response. Do not use a fixed delay as proof that the application reached the state.
+6. Capture no secrets, personal data, unrelated tabs, or transient notifications. Stop any unnecessarily long real-API run after the demonstrated state is visible.
+
+Use the browser's own screenshot API. When it returns image bytes, save those bytes directly; the encoder detects image content independently of the filename extension.
+
+## Encode the GIF
+
+Require `python3`, `ffmpeg`, and `ffprobe`. If either media binary is missing, report the dependency instead of installing software without authorization.
+
+Set `GIF_SKILL_DIR` to this skill's absolute directory, then encode the lexically ordered frames:
+
+```sh
+python3 "$GIF_SKILL_DIR/scripts/encode_gif.py" \
+  /absolute/path/to/frames \
+  /absolute/path/to/demo.gif \
+  --durations 1.5,1.5,1.5,3.5 \
+  --fps 10 \
+  --max-width 1200 \
+  --colors 128
+```
+
+One duration applies to every frame; otherwise provide one comma-separated positive duration per frame. The encoder rejects fewer than two frames, mismatched dimensions or durations, invalid limits, accidental overwrite, unexpected duration, and output above `--max-bytes`.
+
+For a large artifact, reduce `--max-width` first, then `--colors` or `--fps`; retain readable text and the final state long enough to inspect. Use `--force` only after resolving the exact output path.
+
+## Verify and deliver
+
+1. Read the encoder's JSON summary and confirm the output path, source and encoded frame counts, dimensions, duration, and byte size.
+2. Inspect the first and final source frames and the resulting GIF. Confirm that the transition is legible, the last state is held long enough, and no sensitive content appears.
+3. If capture occurred near a repository, run `git status --short` and confirm the artifact did not dirty the worktree.
+4. Return the absolute GIF path, render it when the client supports local media, and state whether the recording used a real API, fixture, or another transport. Stop without uploading it or editing remote content.

Subject: [PATCH 27/32] refactor(gui): dissolve the tool ring into per-view
 keyed slots
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Four rounds of structural rework on the conversation surface, converging
on one registration model for the whole client:

- Review fixes: open() leaves the inject factory (SessionsService owns
  the semantic); ConversationService mounts via ctx.plugin(); the
  bespoke view registry retires into the 'conversation.view' list slot.
- Ring alignment: createChatView factory retired (components get
  everything through checkable shares at the register call site); the
  hand-rolled t/i18n threading is deleted wholesale — a future
  framework-level i18n will supply t as a standard prop keyed by slot
  name, so no interim manual channel.
- Toolview dissolution: ToolViewRegistry / ToolViewResolver /
  ToolViewOutlet / ctx.toolviews retire. Tool rows are entries of the
  'conversation.chat.toolview' keyed slot (scope: session) declared by
  the chat entry; ToolRowOwnerProps is the unified owner payload;
  GenericToolCard becomes the call-site fallback; registrants are plain
  plugins (inject ['slots','conversation'] as the load-order seam);
  session-dimension dispatch moves into components (useSessions reads
  parentId); trajectory/waterfall gain same-shape slots the day they
  render tool rows (RendersCheck rejects empty declarations). Slot
  names mirror the composition path (<domain>.<entry>.<hole>).
- Staging follows current: cell()/binding() are pure resolution
  (render-safe); the constructor subscribes to the list store and
  followCurrent opens the event window when the current session
  changes — staging IS the open signal, business verbs are the timing,
  React render/commit is decoupled from window lifecycle. A masked
  current (projection gap) keeps the stage untouched so deferred
  teardown semantics survive reconnects.

Agent Note: .agents/notes/implemented/architecture/
2026-07-23-toolview-dissolution.md (bilingual pair) records the
decision, the four rejected alternatives, and the accepted semantic
changes; the web client architecture note and packages/client/AGENTS.md
carry the current-state narrative.

Verified: typecheck 0, duplication 0 clones (478 files), full coverage
run 6190 passed with zero threshold errors, knip 0, doc-sync 24/24,
client aggregate tsc 0, render-count checks (one commit per chunk, zero
row re-renders under streaming) green.

 ## Services and scope addressing
 
-A service is a plugin's only API surface toward other plugins (UI components and injection faces are not APIs; a plugin nobody calls mounts no service — ui-trajectory is the minimal-plugin exemplar: no ctx service, only view-map merges). The roster: `ctx.connection` (api client + stream handles), `ctx.slots` (registry wrapper emitting `slots/changed`, render entry, renderer install seam), `ctx.sessions` (list store, current-session state, scope tree), `ctx.loader`, `ctx.theme`, `ctx.i18n`, `ctx.layout` (cross-plugin view navigation), `ctx.conversation` (send/cancel/views/startSession), `ctx.toolviews` (named per-tool render registry with per-session scope filters). Viewing state that used to live in service stores (panel widths, selection, drafts) now lives in entry-declared stores per the [slot system standard](2026-07-22-slot-type-chain-implementation.md).
+A service is a plugin's only API surface toward other plugins (UI components and injection faces are not APIs; a plugin nobody calls mounts no service — ui-trajectory is the minimal-plugin exemplar: no ctx service, only view-slot registrations).

Viewing state that used to live in service stores (panel widths, selection, drafts) now lives in entry-declared stores per the [slot system standard](2026-07-22-slot-type-chain-implementation.md).
 
-Beyond SlotMap, two more typed registration rings follow the same declare-merge idiom: the **view ring** (`ConversationViewMap` — an entry may declare `chromeProps`/`extraProps` extension shapes; `ConvViewPropsOf<Id>`/`ChromePropsOf<Id>` compose base + extension, so a view with no declaration gets the base for free while ui-trajectory's entries carry real per-view props) and the **tool ring** (tool names stay an open set — no global key table; typing hardens inside the entry: `ToolViewProps.block` is the real `ToolCallBlock` union defined in runtime, and register infers the registrant's injected share like slots do).
+There is no registration model besides slots — the former view and tool rings both dissolved into it. Conversation views are entries of the `'conversation.view'` list slot ui-conversation declares, tab metadata rides the registration options (`id`/`order`/`label`), and per-view chrome lives inside the view components themselves. A tool row is a keyed child slot each view declares for itself — today `'conversation.chat.toolview'` (keyed/session), declared by the chat entry's `children` table; the key space is runtime-open (SlotMap declares slots, never keys), which is what the tool ring's open tool-name set required. The render site dispatches per row via `entryKey: toolName` with `GenericToolCard` as the call-site `fallback`; the owner payload is the uniform `ToolRowOwnerProps` (`callId`/`toolName`/`block`/`openDetails`), and `ToolRowProps` composes it with the session standard kit for registrant components. Registrants are plain plugins with zero dedicated machinery: `ctx.slots.register({ name: 'conversation.chat.toolview', key: '<tool>', inject? }, Row)`, with `inject: ['slots', 'conversation']` as the load-order seam (the conversation service being present guarantees the slot is declared). Session-dimension differentiation happens inside the component — `useSessions` reading `parentId` — not in registry predicates; interaction drafts and other row state ride the ordinary store seat. Trajectory/waterfall get same-shaped slots (names fixed by the slot-naming discipline `<domain>.<entry>.<hole>`, one shared owner type) that land with their own row render sites — RendersCheck rejects a declaration nobody renders, so the two slots cannot be declared early.
 
 **Scope addressing** mirrors the host's agent-scope idiom: services are root singletons whose methods take no sessionId — they read the caller's scope mark (`scopeOf(ctx)`). Inside a session scope, `ctx.conversation.send('hi', 'queue')` targets that session; cross-session calls re-target by switching ctx (`ctx.sessions.scope(id)!.conversation.send(...)`); calling a scoped method from root ctx throws. Client session scopes are minted like host agent scopes (a no-op plugin fiber + a scope-key extend), built lazily on first viewing and torn down only when the session is removed and unwatched — host-session death alone does not tear a scope (it freezes into a read-only viewport).

 ## How to develop
 
-- **A new UI feature** = a new plugin package: declare `dshClient` (+ `inject` topology) in package.json, write the browser half under `src/client/` (apply mounts services/stores, registers slots and toolviews), keep the node half an empty apply unless there is host logic, build with the shared preset. Add the plugin to the host config; the manifest and loading follow automatically.

Add the plugin to the host config; the manifest and loading follow automatically.
 - **A new slot**: see the [slot system standard RFC](2026-07-22-slot-type-chain-implementation.md) — merge the contract into `SlotMap`, declare it in the parent entry's `children`, render through the auto-injected `renderSlot` prop. Never export components globally.
 - **Consuming a new frame type**: sessionId-bearing → a branch in Session's dispatch switch; host-level → the Manager routing table; if the UI needs it, a `ConversationSnapshot` field with the reference discipline kept.
 - **Where does this state live**: business data (events, streaming, pending) → always the object layer; what the parent knows → owner props at the renderSlot site; private to one component (scroll, search text, expansion) → component state; shared across entries or surviving remounts (selection, drafts, panel widths) → an entry-declared store ([slot system standard](2026-07-22-slot-type-chain-implementation.md)).

+slot 之外不存在第二种注册模型——原视图环与工具环都已溶解进来。会话视图即 ui-conversation 声明的 `'conversation.view'` list 坑的 entry，tab 元数据随注册 options（`id`/`order`/`label`）走，per-view chrome 住视图组件自身。工具行是各视图自己声明的 keyed 子槽——今天是 `'conversation.chat.toolview'`（keyed/session），由 chat 条目的 `children` 表声明；key 空间运行时开放（SlotMap 声明槽、从不声明 key），这正是工具环「tool 名开放集」的原需求。渲染点逐行以 `entryKey: toolName` 分发、以 `GenericToolCard` 作调用点 `fallback`；owner 载荷是统一的 `ToolRowOwnerProps`（`callId`/`toolName`/`block`/`openDetails`），`ToolRowProps` 把它与 session 标配 kit 预组合供注册方组件取用。注册方就是普通插件、零专用设施：`ctx.slots.register({ name: 'conversation.chat.toolview', key: '<tool>', inject? }, Row)`，以 `inject: ['slots', 'conversation']` 作加载序缝（conversation 服务在场即保证槽已声明）。会话维差异化在组件内完成——`useSessions` 读 `parentId`——不走注册表谓词；交互草稿等行内状态走普通 store 席位。trajectory/waterfall 得同形槽（槽名按槽名纪律 `<域>.<条目>.<孔位>` 已定死，共用一张 owner 类型），随各自的行渲染点落地——RendersCheck 拒绝无人渲染的声明，两槽无法提前声明。

+# Agent Note: Toolview dissolution — tool rows are per-view keyed slots
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-23-toolview-dissolution.zh.md)
+
+> Scope: why the standalone tool ring (ToolViewRegistry/ctx.toolviews/outlet) was retired and what replaced it. The [web client architecture note](2026-07-19-gui-web-client-architecture.md) carries the shipped-state narrative this decision produced; the [slot system standard](2026-07-22-slot-type-chain-implementation.md) owns the registration model everything now runs on.
+
+## Problem
+
+After the view ring dissolved into the slot system, the client kept exactly one parallel registration model: the tool ring — a named registry (`ctx.toolviews`) with its own register grammar, its own resolve semantics (scoped-beats-global predicate dispatch), its own subscribe/version pair, its own inject cache, and its own render outlet with a private error boundary. Every one of those was a second implementation of something the slot machinery already owned, and every future capability (a store seat for row drafts, i18n injection, cross-bundle identity) would have had to be built twice or drift. The ring's one honest justification was that tool names are a runtime-open set while `SlotMap` is a closed declaration table — a registry keyed by arbitrary strings seemed structurally necessary.
+
+## Decision
+
+The tool ring is gone as independent infrastructure: a tool row is a **keyed child slot each view declares for itself**, and the client has exactly one registration model. The justification above was hollow — a keyed slot's *key space* is already runtime-open (SlotMap declares slots, never keys; the ask-user composer's `key: 'question'` was the precedent), so the open tool-name set fits `entryKey` dispatch natively.
+
+Shipped shape (current-state narrative also in the [architecture note](2026-07-19-gui-web-client-architecture.md)): the chat entry's `children` table declares `'conversation.chat.toolview'` (keyed/session); the render site dispatches per row via `entryKey: toolName` with `GenericToolCard` as the call-site `fallback` (the default card is domain property; the fallback option is ordinary renderSlot grammar). The owner payload is the uniform `ToolRowOwnerProps` (`callId`/`toolName`/`block`/`openDetails` — details being a session-level facility, not chat-private), and `ToolRowProps` pre-composes it with the session standard kit for registrant components. A registrant is a plain plugin: `ctx.slots.register({ name: 'conversation.chat.toolview', key: '<tool>', inject? }, Row)` with `inject: ['slots', 'conversation']` as the load-order seam — apply mounts `ConversationService` *after* the chat registration, so the service being present guarantees the slot is declared, by construction. Session-dimension differentiation happens inside the component (`useSessions` reading `parentId` — the decision sits where all the information already is); the bash sample is the third-party-posture exemplar. Trajectory/waterfall toolview slots share this exact shape (names fixed by the slot-naming discipline `<domain>.<entry>.<hole>`, one shared owner type) and land with their own row render sites — RendersCheck rejects a declaration nobody renders, so the type system, not convention, blocks early empty declarations.
+
+Registry-era responsibilities all have successor homes: inject caching and row error isolation ride the framework renderer (entry×scope cache, per-entry `SlotErrorBoundary`); subscribe/getVersion ride the slot core's per-key version machinery; the future "store seat" is the ordinary store seat keyed slots already have (interaction-draft durability is its first named consumer); miss fallback is the call-site `fallback` option.
+
+## Accepted semantic changes
+
+Four behavioral deltas were accepted deliberately, not overlooked. Cross-view appearance is per-view registration — a row must adapt to each view's layout anyway, so one registration per view is the correct coupling, and reuse is the same component in two register calls. Same-key double registration is a loud throw where the registry let later-wins silently override — a discipline correction, not a loss. Session-dimension dispatch moved from registry predicates into the component. Registry-level shape override by third parties (a scoped registration shadowing a global one) has no equivalent; a real future need routes through key-naming conventions or a small in-component resolver, never a revived parallel registry.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Keep the standalone registry (the original shape).** Rejected: each of its multi-dimensional dispatch axes has a more correct home — the view dimension belongs to each view's own declared child slot (declaring is claiming, so specialization ownership lands right), and the session dimension belongs inside the component, which already holds the standard kit. What remained after both moves was a second copy of slot machinery with no distinguishing capability.
+
+**Promote `renderToolView` into the standard kit and move the registry into the runtime package.** Rejected: "tool row" is a conversation-domain concept; hoisting it into runtime would leak a domain vocabulary into the framework layer and still leave two registration models.
+
+**Derive slot declarations from subscription refCounts** (declare the slot implicitly when the first registrant subscribes). Rejected for implicit coupling and debounce complexity; noted as a possible revisit only if a genuinely multi-viewer surface appears.
+
+**A thin `registerToolView` facade over slots.register.** Deferred, not rejected: after dissolution the facade would carry only compile-time sugar (slot-name literal narrowing, tool→key vocabulary, props pre-composition) with zero runtime. Per "enforce at the operation boundary" (a facade is not an enforcement point) and "don't split preemptively" (today's registrant population is one bash sample), it stays unbuilt; the type sugar ships as the exported `ToolRowProps` alias. Regret clause: if registrants grow to three-to-five or a bulk-registration pattern appears, the facade is ten lines added without disturbing direct registration.
+
+## Consequences
+
+The client has one registration model; auditing who renders tool rows = reading register calls, the same audit as every other slot. Registrants get the framework's error isolation, inject caching, and store seat for free — no capability ships twice. The costs are the accepted semantic changes above (chiefly: per-view registration for cross-view rows, and no third-party registry-level override), plus one subtlety the load-order seam carries: registrant plugins must declare `inject: ['conversation']` to sequence after the slot declaration, a convention the seam makes correct by construction but does not statically force on third parties.

+# Agent Note: toolview 溶解——工具行即 per-view keyed slot
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-23-toolview-dissolution.md) | 中文
+
+> 范围：独立工具环（ToolViewRegistry/ctx.toolviews/outlet）为何退役、被什么取代。本决策产出的落地态叙述归 [Web 客户端架构注](2026-07-19-gui-web-client-architecture.md)；一切现在所运行其上的注册模型归 [slot 体系标准](2026-07-22-slot-type-chain-implementation.md) 所有。
+
+## Problem
+
+视图环溶解进 slot 体系之后，client 侧恰好还剩一套平行注册模型：工具环——一个具名注册表（`ctx.toolviews`），带自己的 register 文法、自己的 resolve 语义（scoped 压 global 的谓词分发）、自己的 subscribe/version 对、自己的 inject 缓存、自己带私有错误边界的渲染出口。其中每一件都是 slot 机器已经拥有之物的第二份实现，而每一项未来能力（行草稿的 store 席位、i18n 注入、跨 bundle 身份）都将不得不建两遍或漂移。这条环唯一像样的存在理由是：tool 名是运行时开放集，而 `SlotMap` 是封闭声明表——以任意字符串为键的注册表看似结构上必需。
+
+## Decision
+
+工具环作为独立基础设施已消失：工具行是**各视图为自己声明的 keyed 子槽**，client 全域只剩一种注册模型。上述理由是空的——keyed slot 的 *key 空间*本就运行时开放（SlotMap 声明槽、从不声明 key；ask-user composer 的 `key: 'question'` 即先例），开放的 tool 名集合天然适配 `entryKey` 分发。
+
+落地形态（现状叙述同见[架构注](2026-07-19-gui-web-client-architecture.md)）：chat 条目的 `children` 表声明 `'conversation.chat.toolview'`（keyed/session）；渲染点逐行以 `entryKey: toolName` 分发、以 `GenericToolCard` 作调用点 `fallback`（默认卡片是域产权；fallback 选项就是普通 renderSlot 文法）。owner 载荷是统一的 `ToolRowOwnerProps`（`callId`/`toolName`/`block`/`openDetails`——details 是会话级设施，非 chat 私货），`ToolRowProps` 把它与 session 标配 kit 预组合供注册方组件取用。注册方就是普通插件：`ctx.slots.register({ name: 'conversation.chat.toolview', key: '<tool>', inject? }, Row)`，以 `inject: ['slots', 'conversation']` 作加载序缝——apply 把 `ConversationService` 挂在 chat 注册*之后*，故服务在场即保证槽已声明，构造使然。会话维差异化在组件内完成（`useSessions` 读 `parentId`——决策放在已有全部信息的地方）；bash 样例即第三方姿态的样板。trajectory/waterfall 的 toolview 槽共用这套形状（槽名按槽名纪律 `<域>.<条目>.<孔位>` 定死，共用一张 owner 类型），随各自的行渲染点落地——RendersCheck 拒绝无人渲染的声明，挡住提前空声明的是类型系统而非约定。
+
+registry 时代的职责各有后继居所：inject 缓存与行错误隔离乘框架渲染器（entry×scope 缓存、per-entry `SlotErrorBoundary`）；subscribe/getVersion 乘 slot core 的 per-key 版本机；将来的「store 席位」就是 keyed slot 本就拥有的普通 store 席位（交互草稿耐久性是其首个具名消费者）；miss 兜底即调用点 `fallback` 选项。
+
+## 接受的语义变化
+
+四项行为增量是刻意接受而非疏漏。跨视图出场=逐视图注册——行本须适配各视图版式，一视图一注册是正确耦合，复用即同一组件写两次 register。同 key 重复注册从注册表的 later-wins 静默覆盖变为 loud throw——纪律修正而非损失。会话维分发从注册表谓词移入组件。第三方在 registry 级覆盖形态（scoped 注册压过 global）不复存在；真出现的未来需求走 key 命名空间约定或组件内小 resolver，永不复活平行注册表。
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**保留独立注册表（原形态）。** 拒绝：其多维分发的每一维都有更正确的家——视图维归各视图自己声明的子槽（declaring is claiming，特化面权属自然落对），会话维归已持有标配 kit 的组件内部。两步移完后剩下的只是一份没有任何独有能力的 slot 机器副本。
+
+**把 `renderToolView` 提进标配 kit、注册表迁入 runtime 包。** 拒绝：「工具行」是 conversation 域概念；上提进 runtime 会把域词汇泄漏进框架层，且依然留着两套注册模型。
+
+**以订阅 refCount 推导槽声明**（首个注册方订阅时隐式声明槽）。拒绝：隐式耦合加去抖复杂度；记为将来真出现多观看面时的备选。
+
+**slots.register 之上的薄 `registerToolView` 门面。** 缓建而非拒绝：溶解后该门面只剩编译期三糖（槽名字面量收窄、tool→key 词汇翻译、props 预组合），运行时为零。按「enforce at the operation boundary」（门面不是强制点）与「don't split preemptively」（今天注册方人口只有一个 bash 样例）保持不建；类型糖以导出的 `ToolRowProps` 别名兑现。后悔药条款：注册方长到三五家或出现批量注册模式时，门面十行可补，不扰直注。
+
+## Consequences
+
+client 只有一种注册模型；审计谁渲染工具行 = 读 register 调用，与其他所有 slot 同一套审计。注册方免费获得框架的错误隔离、inject 缓存与 store 席位——没有能力要建两遍。代价即上文接受的语义变化（主要是：跨视图行要逐视图注册、第三方无 registry 级覆盖），外加加载序缝携带的一处微妙：注册方插件须声明 `inject: ['conversation']` 才排在槽声明之后，这条约定由序缝构造保证正确、但不对第三方静态强制。

Rendering a slot you didn't declare, or declaring one someone else declared, fails at load — do not work around it; the conflict is the design speaking. Slot names mirror the composition path: `<domain>.<entry>.<hole>` (e.g. `'conversation.chat.toolview'`).
 3. **Component props are the four shares, all derived**: `PropsRuntime<K>` (SlotMap: owner params + `useSession`/`sessionId` on session scope + `useSessions`) & `PropsRenderSlots<S>` (children keys) & `PropsStore<H>` (store factory) & the inject face. Never hand-write a member a share already derives; never re-type a share locally.
 4. **Hooks are framework-made only**: `useSession`, `useSessions`, `useStore`, `renderSlot` are the four seats. Business code never creates a hook or selector as a prop value — pass plain data and callbacks. (Component-internal behavioral hooks that subscribe to nothing external are fine.)
 5. **Live data has exactly three channels**: parent knows it → owner props at the renderSlot site; only the component knows it → local state; shared across entries or survives remounts → a store declared at register. Derived data is a pure function over framework-hook data (`useMemo`), never its own subscription.

+- **Scope teardown is stage-driven, single-occupant today** — the staged session follows `list.current` exactly (staging is the open signal: the event window opens ⟺ the session is on stage); a removed-while-staged session's scope survives frozen until the stage moves on, not until true observer count reaches zero. Resolution (`cell()`/`binding()`/`scope()`) is pure addressing, render-safe. The staged state can widen to a multi-pane list when concurrent panes land.
 - **Value imports of this package from plugin bundles must use the `/client` subpath** — the bare package name is not in the loader externals table and inlines a second module instance, whose private scope-tag Symbol never matches (the empty-state P0 postmortem).
 - **`SessionSummary.title` is a display projection** — the wire summary carries no title yet; the cwd basename stands in, then the raw id.

-Conversation domain: skeleton (header/tabs/composer/empty state), chat view (grouped step-summary flow, streaming tail isolation), ctx.toolviews named registry with bash samples, minimal details panel, scope-addressed ConversationService. Contract: api-contracts v3 §7 plus the slot terminal design (store seat / props shares).
+Conversation domain: skeleton (header/tabs/composer/empty state), chat view (grouped step-summary flow, streaming tail isolation, stats line, per-tool row slot with a bash sample registrant), minimal details panel, scope-addressed ConversationService. Contract: api-contracts v3 §7 plus the slot terminal design (store seat / props shares).
+
+The view ring IS a slot: the conversation registration declares the `'conversation.view'` list slot (session scope) in its `children` table, ConversationRoot renders the active entry through its renderSlot share (`only: <active id>`), and view tabs project from the ring ledger's registration options (`id`/`order`/`label`). The chat view is this package's own ring entry; other plugins (ui-trajectory) contribute tabs through plain `ctx.slots.register` — the former package-local view registry (`registerView`/`ViewEntry`/`ConversationViewMap` and the chrome attachment table) is retired, with per-view chrome dissolved into the view components themselves.
 
 Generic tool rows classify the built-in bash, read, search, write, and edit names into dedicated visual variants. The filesystem variants render the edit icon and `Write · <path>` or `Edit · <path>` summary while retaining the shared row-to-details interaction.
 
-Per-session UI state (selection, composer draft, active view) lives in the declared chat store (`stores.ts` `createChatStore`): apply constructs one handle and passes it to both the conversation and details registrations, so the two session slots share one instance per session (selection written by conversation, read by details) and the framework owns instance lifecycle and draft persistence. Components are pure — the framework standard kit (`useSession`/`sessionId`/`useSessions`) and the store faces (`useStore`/`actions`) arrive automatically from the registration declaration; the inject factories contribute plain data and callbacks only (send/stop choreography, view registry read face, startSession chain).
+Tool rows are slots too — the standalone tool ring (`ToolViewRegistry`/`ctx.toolviews`/outlet) is retired. The chat entry declares the keyed `'conversation.chat.toolview'` hole (session scope; the key space is runtime-open); its render site dispatches per row via `entryKey: toolName` with `GenericToolCard` as the call-site `fallback`. The owner payload is the uniform `ToolRowOwnerProps` (`callId`/`toolName`/`block`/`openDetails`) and `ToolRowProps` pre-composes it with the session standard kit. A registrant is a plain plugin: `ctx.slots.register({ name: 'conversation.chat.toolview', key: '<tool>', inject? }, Row)` with `inject: ['slots', 'conversation']` as the load-order seam (apply mounts ConversationService after the chat registration, so the service being present guarantees the slot is declared); session differentiation happens inside the component (`useSessions` reading `parentId` — the bash sample is the third-party-posture exemplar). Trajectory/waterfall toolview slots share this shape and land with their own render sites (RendersCheck rejects a declaration nobody renders).
 
-`src/client/` is organized for the future package split: `contract/` is the sole inter-domain shared face (`slots.ts` composed slot props, `views.ts` view ring, `toolview.ts` tool ring, `tool-call-model.ts`); the `skeleton/`, `chat/`, and `toolviews/` domain directories import contract files and never each other; `apply.ts` is the only assembly point allowed to import all three domains. The `/client` export surface is the contract only — `apply`/`inject`, the two service classes, and the `contract/` type families; implementation components (skeleton, chat rows) and the store factory stay internal and reach the page exclusively through apply's slot registrations (tests take them via the `./src/*` subpath).

+Chain-kind slots invert keyed routing — entries self-nominate instead of the dispatch site picking an `entryKey`: each registration carries a pure `ChainSelect` selector (plus optional ascending `priority`, ties in registration order), the first non-null return elects its entry and becomes the component's `matched` prop, and all-null falls to the owner's `renderSlotChain` fallback (`ChainRenderOpts`).
+
 The standard-kit interfaces (`SessionStandardProps`, `GlobalStandardProps`) are declared empty here and merged by the runtime package (same declare-merge pattern as SlotMap keys). Inject factory parameters derive from the declaration (`InjectParams`): session slots get `sessionId`, a declared store appends baked `actions`, nothing else — data access lives in the apply closure's ctx.
 
 The store family (`defineStore` spec in / `StoreHandle<T, A>` out) types the store seat: `init` infers the state schema, `actions` is the complete draft-transform write set, `BakedActions` strips the draft parameter into the callbacks components and inject factories receive. The `defineStore` value implementation lives in the runtime package (the engine's home) and satisfies the `DefineStore` contract exported here. Engine products and the renderer host contract carry bare snapshot sources (`getSnapshot`/`subscribe`), never React hooks — hook binding is the render machinery's side of the seam; only the props-contract hook type (`SnapshotSelectorHook`) lives here.
 
-`SlotCore` seeds the a-priori `'root'` slot at construction and enforces load-time validation (undeclared-slot registration, duplicate child declaration, one shared handle under two scopes — all throw at register). An entry's disposer collapses its declared child slots recursively: ledger rows, contributions, and store mounts die on one lifecycle axis. `renderer.ts` carries the install seam (`SlotRenderer`, `SlotRendererHost`) plus `StaleAuthorizationError`/`SlotOwnershipError`; the implementation lives in web-react, the installation in the shell boot.

+Shell-side React glue for the slot terminal design: createSlotRenderer (the SlotRenderer implementation the shell installs into the runtime SlotsService), SessionProvider (framework-wired render prop, also injected as a standard seat to entries declaring session-scope children), bindSnapshotSelector (the one hook constructor — hosts and engines traffic in bare observable sources; every hook binds here, cached per source), useInvoke. Chain-slot outlets run the registered selectors in chain order at render time and mount only the elected entry, its select return joining the props as `matched`; the `renderSlotChain` binding is per-entry cached like `renderSlot`. The snapshot-store engine and defineStore live in runtime (store relocation); business plugins depend on ui-slots types only, never on this package.

 There is no separate slot-definition API. The `children` object both **declares the child slots into existence** and **authorizes this component to render them** — a slot is a hole in the render tree that exists because someone will render it, so its lifecycle is the declaring entry's lifecycle (entry disposed → slots gone, contributions cleared). The values are the runtime spec (`kind`/`scope` drive outlet iteration and binding selection; `SlotMap` is types-only and erased at runtime, which is why an array of keys could not work), statically checked against the `SlotMap` entry so type and value are declared at one point and cross-validated.

 `sessionId` is framework-supplied wherever `scope: 'session'` is declared — owner params do not carry it. The register call site is the double-lock choke point: a component whose renderSlot keys exceed the `children` declaration, or that misses a declared face, or whose store/inject shapes drift, is a compile error on that line. Delegation is ordinary props passing (hand the `renderSlot` function down, optionally behind a narrower signature) — there is no whitelist face object and no minting API.
 
+### The chain kind: entries self-nominate, first match renders
+
+The fourth `SlotKind`, `'chain'`, inverts routing authority relative to `keyed`: a keyed dispatch site picks its occupant by `entryKey`, while a chain entry nominates itself — the owner dispatches one common currency of owner props and never learns who takes over, so a new takeover package registers with zero owner edits. A chain registration carries a `select` pure selector (`ChainSelect<O, M>`: `(owner) => matched | null`) and an optional `priority` (ascending; ties keep registration = assembly order — the deployment-controllable inject topology — under the same stable sort as list `order`); registering without `select` is one of the loud-at-load cases above. At render, the outlet runs the selectors in chain order: the first non-null return elects its entry and the returned value joins the component's props as `matched` (the component never re-derives its own match), `null` passes the turn to the next entry, and all-null renders the owner's fallback body (`ChainRenderOpts`).
+
+The decline decision lives in `select`, never in a mounted component probing its own props: a component that mounts only to render null still runs its hooks and effects for nothing, and the resulting mount/unmount churn breaks memoization and React key semantics, whereas a selector is a pure function — unit-testable, zero mount side effects — the same discipline as "presentation methods are pure functions of `args`". Purity is the selector's contract: it reads no external mutable state and produces no side effects, so the routing decision is entirely a function of the owner props and safe to run on every dispatch. Selectors route; they never mint — per-dispatch object construction would churn identity every render, so wrapping a matched value in a richer face happens inside the elected component (`useMemo` keyed on `matched`).
+
+In the type chain, a chain entry's SlotMap shape is `{ kind: 'chain'; scope; owner }` with `owner` as the chain's currency; `M` — the `matched` prop's type — is inferred from the select return (a selector narrowing a union member types `matched` automatically), and the component position stays out of `M` inference, the same NoInfer ruling that pins the inject share (rulings below). On the owner side, `renderSlotChain(key, owner, { fallback })` joins `renderSlot` in the `PropsRenderSlots` share, its key domain statically narrowed to the chain-kind keys of the entry's children declaration (`ChainKeysOf`); the dispatch site is one line and holds no derivation or routing logic of its own.
+
 ### The store seat: framework engine, registrant schema
 
 The framework owns exactly one subscription machine: the snapshot store engine (zustand vanilla + immer + optional localStorage persistence) lives in the **runtime package** (`./client` main entry — no subpath), producing bare observable sources; web-react binds them into hooks at the outlet (per-source cached uSES binding). What a store *contains* is the registrant's declaration, written as a factory so no module-level handle exists (a module-scoped handle would be a de-facto singleton surviving plugin reloads):

 ## Consequences
 
-Render authority is enforceable rather than conventional: who renders what is a load-time fact, and auditing the UI structure = reading the register calls. Every props surface is statically derived from one source (SlotMap entry, children keys, store factory, inject return), so a schema change propagates by compiler rather than by grep. Plugins carry no subscription machinery of their own — store lifecycle (per-session instances, disposal, persistence) is framework semantics keyed to the entry axis. Costs: registration options are dense (children spec objects); the framework carries real inference machinery (`defineStore`'s init/actions same-round inference may need a curried fallback); and the compile-time double locks mean prototype-stage drift is a hard error, not a warning.

 不存在独立的坑位定义 API。`children` 对象同时做两件事：**把子坑声明出来**，并**授权本组件渲染它们**——坑是渲染树上的一个洞，因为有人要渲染它才存在，所以坑的生命周期就是声明它的 entry 的生命周期（entry 一经 dispose（资源释放），坑随之消亡、坑内既有贡献清空）。children 的值是运行时 spec（`kind`/`scope` 驱动 outlet 的迭代形态与 binding 选择；`SlotMap` 是纯类型、运行时即被擦除，这正是键数组形行不通的原因），并与对应 `SlotMap` entry 静态对齐校验——类型与值在同一点声明、交叉验证。
 
-对等原则：**声明子坑的 entry 独占渲染这些子坑的权力**，全部在 register 时结清（配置错误在装载时大声失败；渲染热径零校验）。装载即炸的情形：第二个 entry 声明已被声明的坑；向未声明的坑 register；同一个 store 句柄挂到两个 scope 之下。

 `SlotMap` 声明合并仍是类型权威，且 entry 只声明自己的轴加 **owner 份额**——注册方注入的 props 永不进入全局表（「谁注入的，类型归谁」）。

 凡声明 `scope: 'session'` 之处，`sessionId` 一律由框架供给——owner 传参不携带它。register 调用点是双向锁的收口：组件的 renderSlot 键集超出 `children` 声明、漏接某个已声明的面、store/inject 形状漂移，任何一条都在那一行上报编译错误。转授就是普通的 props 传递（把 `renderSlot` 函数递下去，可按需包一层更窄的签名）——不存在白名单面对象，也不存在铸面 API。
 
+### chain kind：entry 自荐，首中即渲
+
+第四种 `SlotKind`——`'chain'`——把路由权相对 `keyed` 反转：keyed 的分派现场以 `entryKey` 点选占坑者，chain 则由 entry 自荐——owner 只分派一份通用货币形态的 owner props，永远不知道谁来接管，新的接管包注册进来 owner 零改动。chain 注册携带一个 `select` 纯选择器（`ChainSelect<O, M>`：`(owner) => matched | null`）与可选的 `priority`（升序；同值保持注册序 = 装配序——部署可控的 inject 拓扑——复用 list `order` 的同一稳定排序）；注册缺 `select` 即上文装载即炸情形之一。渲染时 outlet 按链序依次执行各 select：首个非 null 返回值当选，该值以 `matched` 并入组件 props（组件绝不自行重新推导匹配）；返回 `null` 则轮到下一个 entry；全 null 则渲染 owner 的 fallback 体（`ChainRenderOpts`）。
+
+「不接」的判定住在 `select` 里，绝不在挂载后的组件里自探 props：组件为了渲染 null 也得先挂载，其 hook 与 effect 全部白跑，随之而来的挂载/卸载抖动还会破坏 memo 化与 React key 语义；而选择器是纯函数——可单测、零挂载副作用——与「presentation methods are pure functions of `args`」是同一条纪律。纯，就是选择器的契约：不读外部可变状态、不产副作用，路由判定因此完全是 owner props 的函数，每次分派都可安全执行。选择器只做路由、绝不铸对象——按分派逐次构造对象会让引用每次渲染都换新；把匹配值包成更丰富的面这件事，发生在当选组件内部（以 `matched` 为依赖的 `useMemo`）。
+
+类型链上，chain entry 的 SlotMap 形状是 `{ kind: 'chain'; scope; owner }`，`owner` 即链的货币；`M`——`matched` prop 的类型——从 select 返回值推导（选择器收窄 union 成员时，`matched` 类型自动随之收窄），且组件位不参与 `M` 的推断，与钉住 inject 份额的 NoInfer 裁定同源（见下文裁定）。owner 侧，`renderSlotChain(key, owner, { fallback })` 与 `renderSlot` 同住 `PropsRenderSlots` 份额，其键域静态收窄到本 entry children 声明中 chain kind 的键（`ChainKeysOf`）；分派现场只有一行，不含任何自有的派生或路由逻辑。

 ### store 席位：引擎归框架，schema 归注册方
 
 框架拥有恰好一台订阅机械：快照 store 引擎（zustand vanilla + immer + 可选 localStorage 持久化）住 **runtime 包**（`./client` 主出口——无子路径），产出裸的可观察源；web-react 在 outlet 处把它们绑定成 hook（按源缓存的 uSES 绑定）。store 里*装什么*是注册方的声明，且必须写成工厂函数，使模块级句柄根本无从存在（模块级句柄会成为跨插件重载存活的事实单例）：
