+# RFC: The background task runtime (`ctx.tasks`) and generic task control tools
+
+Status: implemented
+
+## Problem
+
+Background bash originally combined two responsibilities: the bash executor ran processes and also managed task ids, ownership, incremental reads, cancellation, completion listeners, and model-facing control tools. Adding background subagents required the same lifecycle and interaction contract. Implementing that contract independently for every long-running capability would duplicate isolation, cleanup, notification, and prompt behavior while teaching the model a different collect-and-stop protocol for each producer.
+
+The task registry, control tools, and completion notices form one harness capability. Bash and subagents should supply execution-specific hooks without owning generic task behavior.
+
+## Decision
+
+The `tasks/` package group owns background-task semantics:
+
+- `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tasks` registers running work as `ctx.tasks` and owns task ids, authorization, snapshots, reads, cancellation, waiting, completion listeners, and cleanup.
+- `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-tasks` exposes `task_output`, `task_list`, and `task_kill`, injects completion notices, and supplies the background-task system-prompt guidance.
+
+Long-running tools are producers. `dsh-tool-bash` adapts a `BashProcess` into incremental output and process cancellation; `dsh-tool-subagent` adapts a child run into final output and child disposal. The execution seams remain independent of sessions and the task registry.
+
+`TaskService` is a concrete, process-local service. TODO(task-service-backend): separate its public contract from the implementation when a second backend defines the required lifecycle; a systemd-backed runtime is one plausible driver, but this PR does not speculate about its durability, reconnect, ownership, or observation semantics.
+
+## Runtime contract
+
+The literal types live in the [task data-structure catalog](../../../core-data-structures/tasks.md). A producer calls `ctx.tasks.start()` with a kind, label, optional owning `Agent`, and a `run()` function. The runtime completes all failable preflight work before calling `run()` and invokes it once. After `run()` returns hooks, registration commits without another failable step; a producer cannot start work that lacks a collectable task id.
+
+The producer hooks define three responsibilities:
+
+- `cancel(reason?)` synchronously requests termination, is idempotent, and must cause `done` to settle.
+- `done` never rejects and settles only after the producer has released the task's resources.
+- Optional `readOutput()` returns the next consuming output delta. Omitting it declares a final-output task whose terminal result comes from `TaskOutcome.output`.
+
+Statuses are `running`, `stopping`, `completed`, `killed`, and `failed`. Producer-specific information such as an exit code or stop reason belongs in `detail`; the registry does not interpret it. Task kinds form a merge-extensible string union, and task ids are branded and generated as `<kind>-N`, with a counter per kind.
+
+The runtime attaches one continuation to `done`, records the first terminal outcome, resolves waiters, and invokes completion listeners with per-listener error containment. First-wins settlement matters during teardown: if `cancel` throws, the runtime force-fails the record and warns that work may be orphaned rather than waiting forever for a promise that may never settle. A later producer outcome cannot overwrite that diagnosis or notify twice. A `cancel` that returns without eventually settling `done` still blocks teardown because the runtime cannot distinguish it from a slow, valid stop.
+
+Task registrations are not effects of the producer tool fiber. Reloading a tool or control-surface plugin therefore does not kill work owned by an agent and backend. The task service's own disposal cancels all live tasks and awaits contract-compliant producers.
+
+## Authorization and owner lifecycle
+
+Task ids are runtime-global and predictable, so every access is authorized by the registry. `get`, `read`, `wait`, and `kill` accept the calling `Agent`; `list` returns only tasks visible to that caller. An owned task is accessible only to the exact owning session. Unowned tasks are open to non-agent callers and die with the task service.
+
+The snapshot stores the owner's branded `SessionId` for authorization, while lifecycle operations retain the exact live `Agent` instance. These identities serve different purposes: session equality grants access, but exact object identity selects cleanup and completion delivery. Reusing an agent or session id cannot redirect an old scope's cleanup or notices to a replacement.
+
+The first task for an owner attaches one asynchronous effect to `owner.ctx`. Agent-scope disposal cancels that owner's live tasks, awaits their terminal records, and removes their snapshots. This effect survives producer reloads and joins the agent's existing quiescence boundary. The task service retains the effect disposer so service reload can detach callbacks from still-live agent scopes after global teardown.
+
+For contract-compliant producers, `AgentHandle.dispose()` resolves only after owned background work has stopped. Work intended to outlive an agent must be started unowned; survival across runtime restarts requires a separate durable-job design.
+
+## Service surface
+
+`TaskService` provides:
+
+- `start(spec)` for preflighted, atomic registration.
+- `get(id, caller?)` and `list(caller?)` for non-consuming snapshots.
+- `read(id, caller?)` for a consuming stream delta or an idempotent final result.
+- `kill(id, caller?, reason?)` for cancellation.
+- `wait(id, timeoutMs, caller?, signal?)` for bounded terminal waiting.
+- `onTaskDone(listener)` for effect-scoped observation with exact-owner delivery and listener containment.
+- `attachSurface(name)` for the control-surface availability fence.
+
+`wait` returns the terminal snapshot when the task settles or the live snapshot when its timeout expires. Aborting a wait cancels only that wait. If settlement has already assigned terminal delivery to the waiter, the terminal snapshot still wins. Waiters unregister synchronously on abort so a same-tick settlement cannot suppress a completion notice on behalf of a reader that receives nothing.
+
+A producer loaded without any control surface would let callers start work they cannot collect or stop. `dsh-tool-tasks` therefore calls `attachSurface()` for its lifetime, and `start()` fails before producer execution when no surface is attached. This check occurs at start rather than plugin load because sibling plugins may activate concurrently. Custom non-model surfaces can attach themselves without teaching the registry tool names.
+
+## Model-facing control surface
+
+`dsh-tool-tasks` registers three kind-independent tools with generic ACP cards:
+
+- `task_output(task_id, wait?, timeout_ms?)` reads output and always appends `[status: ...]`. Stream tasks return only output since the previous read; final-output tasks return their result after settlement. Reads are non-blocking unless `wait: true`, whose timeout is defaulted and capped by plugin config. A wait timeout reports the still-running status and does not stop the task.
+- `task_list()` returns caller-visible tasks as `<id> [<kind>] <status> — <label>`, or `(no background tasks)`.
+- `task_kill(task_id, reason?)` requests cancellation immediately. The optional logged reason is forwarded to the producer. Terminal tasks report their existing status; a throwing producer cancel fails the call and leaves the task running.
+
+Stream reads share one task-scoped consuming cursor because the owning model is the intended reader. A UI or multiple independent readers need a separate non-consuming observation API; sharing this cursor would let readers consume one another's output.
+
+The system prompt tells the model to retain task ids, continue independent work instead of busy-polling or duplicating a running task, collect relevant tasks before its final answer, and kill work that no longer matters. Completion injects a logged `context/message` into the exact owner's session; it becomes durable context for the next request but does not wake an idle agent.
+
+The runtime marks a terminal task `reported` when a read or wait delivers it, when a live waiter has claimed delivery at settlement, or when the model explicitly kills it. Reported tasks do not inject redundant completion notices. Listener failures are logged independently, do not stop later listeners, and are not awaited by waiters or teardown.
+
+## Producer opt-in
+
+Each producer owns whether its schema exposes `run_in_background` through defaulted config. `dsh-tool-bash` and each `dsh-tool-subagent` instance use `enableRunInBackground`, defaulting to true. A disabled instance omits the parameter and also rejects a forced background argument at execution because the generic argument validator permits undeclared keys. Schema omission advertises the capability; the execution check enforces it.
+
+`ctx.tasks` does not rewrite producer schemas. A bundle forwards configuration only for producers it owns. If a background call reaches `start()` without an attached surface, the runtime fence fails before execution.
+
+## Producer integrations
+
+The bash seam exposes `resolve`, `run`, and `start`. `start(spec)` returns a `BashProcess` with incremental reads, cancellation, exit facts, and a non-rejecting quiescence promise. The local executor retains live handles only so its own disposal can kill and join processes. Foreground callers continue to use `resolve` and `run` directly.
+
+For background bash, `dsh-tool-bash` registers the calling agent as owner. Its hooks map `kill()` to cancellation, `done` to a completed or killed `TaskOutcome`, and `readOutput()` to the process's bounded incremental output plus spill and sandbox notices. Generic task tools own ids, status lines, listing, waiting, and completion notices.
+
+For background subagents, `dsh-tool-subagent` creates a task-owned `AbortController` and begins provider startup inside the task starter. Cancellation aborts the same signal before or after provider readiness. `done` awaits both the child result and child disposal, maps completed output to a final result, maps abort to `killed`, and maps other stop reasons or infrastructure failures to `failed`. Intermediate child history remains in the child session and is not exposed through `readOutput()`.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+### Per-capability control tools
+
+Separate bash and subagent output/stop tools duplicate ids, isolation, cleanup, notification, and guidance while increasing the model's schema and protocol burden. One runtime keeps execution-specific behavior in producers without cloning the task lifecycle.
+
+### An immediate abstract task-runtime backend
+
+The current `TaskStart.run()` contract passes in-process callbacks and exact `Agent` objects. A durable backend changes identity, restart, ownership, and observation semantics, so extracting an interface before a second implementation exists would freeze the wrong boundary.
+
+### Consumer-owned authorization or cleanup events
+
+Consumer-owned checks invite inconsistent or missing isolation on each new surface. A broadcast cleanup event makes every listener filter every agent and provides no registration disposer. Central authorization plus one owner-scoped effect gives every consumer the same fence and an awaited, removable lifecycle hook.
+
+### Blocking output or a separate wait tool
+
+Blocking by default would serialize the parent while background work runs. Waiting without reading would add another model call and schema without returning useful information. `task_output(wait: true)` makes blocking explicit and combines it with result delivery.
+
+The wait uses the shared deadline primitives but not the generic tool-timeout policy. A wait timeout is a successful observation that returns `[status: running]`; the generic policy would replace it with a timeout error. No tool-call timeout controls task lifetime after a task id has been returned.
+
+### Runtime-owned output sinks
+
+A push sink would centralize buffering, but bash already owns bounded buffers, truncation, and spill files behind its executor seam. Pulling formatted deltas preserves that ownership. A durable backend that owns storage may justify revisiting the producer interface.
+
+### Random ids, promotion, or lifecycle session events
+
+Authorization, not unguessability, is the access boundary, and ids do not derive filesystem paths; sequential branded ids keep transcripts readable. Foreground-to-background promotion requires a user interaction contract the SDK does not prescribe. Starts, reads, and notices are already logged as tool and context events, so dedicated task session events would duplicate model-visible facts.
+
+## Testing
+
+Unit coverage pins preflight atomicity, per-kind ids, stream and final reads, wait timeout and abort races, cancellation, first-wins settlement, listener containment, notice suppression, owner isolation, stale owner instances, owner cleanup, service teardown, and the no-surface fence. Producer tests cover bash process mapping, subagent startup cancellation, terminal mapping, and disposal. Snapshot coverage pins the control-tool schemas and prompt guidance.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Bash commands and subagents share one id vocabulary, listing, notice format, prompt habit, and set of control tools. New long-running producers implement execution hooks instead of another registry and tool family. The [tool cookbook](../../../cookbook/adding-a-tool.md) points producers to this contract.
+
+Owned background bash now stops with its agent instead of surviving it. Background processes have no executor timeout; callers must kill irrelevant work or rely on owner/service disposal. Stream reads support one consuming reader, completion notices do not wake idle agents, and a producer that returns from `cancel` without settling `done` can still stall teardown. Durable jobs, independent observation cursors, and foreground promotion remain separate designs.

 Provider ids are stable strings and unique within their capability kind. Registering a duplicate search provider id or duplicate fetch provider id fails rather than silently replacing the old provider. Provider registration returns a disposer and follows the existing `ctx.tools.register()` / `ctx.systemPrompt.section()` pattern: the mutation is wrapped in `ctx.effect()` so the registration is torn down with the contributing fiber.

If the product later needs provider-backed page extraction, that is a separate `web_extract` capability or a deliberate widening of this seam — extract semantics are never smuggled into `web_fetch` by making every HTTP field optional.

 HTTP status is part of the fetched resource state, not automatically a tool failure. A successful network fetch of a `404` or `500` response returns `WebFetchResult` with the status code and a bounded decoded body when the content type is supported. `WebError` is for failures to safely retrieve or represent the resource: invalid or blocked URL, redirect policy violation, timeout, abort, response too large, unsupported content type, provider failure, or network failure.

 Tool registration is a minimal stable sync: on plugin startup the `dsh-tool-web` `Config` (`search?: boolean`, `fetch?: boolean`, both default `true`) enables or disables each web tool; an enabled tool is registered with a fiber-scoped disposer via the effect-based registry; neither tool is disposed merely because its selected provider is missing, unusable, or ambiguous; disposing the `tool-web` fiber tears down its registrations automatically.

Whether to serve is decided by `cordis.yml`; a yml that does not mount it is a legitimate process that does not serve.

Each leg drives a mock SSE model through the SDK with the default config and a custom `cordis.yml`, drives the exe directly over NDJSON JSON-RPC, verifies the JSONL and final response, and installs release-shaped wheels into a clean venv without `runtime_bin`; Linux additionally inspects GLIBC requirements and runs in a manylinux 2.28 container. A full three-target run retains four artifacts, each containing one release file: the platform-independent SDK wheel and three native runtime wheels; a subset dispatch retains the SDK wheel and selected runtime wheels. Bare executables and source bundles remain intermediate test inputs. [`.gitlab-ci.yml`](../../../../.gitlab-ci.yml) accepts only `python-vX.Y.Z` tag pipelines whose version matches the root `package.json`, builds one SDK wheel and three native runtime wheels, then a single serialized job checks and publishes all four to the project PyPI registry.

This is acceptable for the first cut; **background / poll / spill semantics are deferred to a future redesign that unifies long-running-tool handling across subagents AND bash** (a sub-agent and a long `bash` background task pose the same "the model started something slow, how does it collect later" problem, and should share one mechanism rather than each inventing its own).

No grant is persisted.

 Escalation is a same-turn retry of the denied command with the narrowest sufficient `sandbox_permissions` and a `justification`; the approval prompt is the consent step. It must be grounded in an actual denial, except when the session already observed the same denied access, and a disabled or rejected approval ends that command. The retry, approval decision, and result use existing tool and approval events. `dsh-tool-bash` owns the ask because the executor seam has neither the agent nor call id required for user interaction.

+# RFC: MCP client plugin — connect to external MCP servers and bridge their tools
+
+Status: implemented
+
+## Problem
+
+The harness had no way to consume tools from the MCP (Model Context Protocol) ecosystem. MCP is the emerging standard for tool servers — GitHub, filesystem, databases, code search, and hundreds of community servers expose tools via MCP. Users want to point the harness at one or more MCP servers and have their tools appear as native model-facing tools, without writing per-server glue code.
+
+The `ToolRegistry` already accepts raw JSON Schema tool definitions (documented in `dsh-tools` README: "Raw JSON-Schema tool definitions (from MCP servers) are still accepted by `ToolRegistry.register()` directly"), and the extension cookbook sketches the intended pattern ("MCP | one plugin per server: discover tools → `ctx.tools.register()`"). The infrastructure was ready; the bridge plugin was missing.
+
+## Decision
+
+### Package
+
+A single package `@deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client` at `packages/mcp/mcp-client/`. No capability-seam three-package split — there is no foreseeable second MCP client implementation, and the convention is "don't split preemptively" ([capability seams RFC](../../implemented/architecture/2026-06-13-capability-seams.md)).
+
+### SDK
+
+Use the official [`@modelcontextprotocol/sdk`](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk) (`Client`, `StdioClientTransport`, `StreamableHTTPClientTransport`). The harness does not implement its own JSON-RPC — consistent with how ACP delegates to `@agentclientprotocol/sdk`.
+
+### Scope
+
+MCP Client only (no server side — ACP already covers the "expose harness as an agent" role). Bridge **Tools** only — Resources and Prompts are deferred (they require harness-side consumption mechanisms that don't exist yet, and design space is large).
+
+### Plugin shape
+
+Namespace plugin (named exports `name`/`inject`/`Config`/`apply`, no `export default`). `inject: ['tools']`. Each MCP server is one plugin instance in `cordis.yml` — the same package loaded N times with different configs, like `dsh-tool-subagent`.
+
+### Configuration
+
+Flat discriminated union on the `transport` field:
+
+```typescript
+interface StdioConfig {
+  transport: 'stdio'
+  serverName: string          // required namespace, ^[A-Za-z0-9_-]{1,32}$
+  command: string
+  args?: string[]
+  env?: Record<string, string>
+  cwd?: string
+  toolCallTimeoutMs?: number  // default 60_000
+}
+
+interface StreamableHttpConfig {
+  transport: 'streamable-http'
+  serverName: string          // required namespace, ^[A-Za-z0-9_-]{1,32}$
+  url: string
+  headers?: Record<string, string>
+  toolCallTimeoutMs?: number  // default 60_000
+}
+
+type Config = StdioConfig | StreamableHttpConfig
+```
+
+`serverName` is the stable local identity that namespaces this server's tools in the model-facing name (below). It is deliberately user configuration, NOT the remote `serverInfo.name`: the remote name is untrusted input, is not unique across deployments (prod and staging instances of one server report the same name), and may change on server upgrade — none of which may silently rename model-facing tools. A duplicate `serverName` across live instances is a configuration error: the later instance fails at load with an actionable message, never silent shadowing or skipping. A short `serverName` (`gh`) is also the knob for shortening public names.
+
+Example `cordis.yml` usage:
+
+```yaml
+- id: mcp-github
+  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client'
+  config:
+    serverName: github
+    transport: stdio
+    command: npx
+    args: ['-y', '@modelcontextprotocol/server-github']
+    env:
+      GITHUB_TOKEN: !!js process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN
+
+- id: mcp-web
+  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client'
+  config:
+    serverName: web
+    transport: streamable-http
+    url: http://localhost:3000/mcp
+    headers:
+      Authorization: !!js `Bearer ${process.env.MCP_TOKEN}`
+```
+
+The model sees `mcp__github__create_issue`, `mcp__github__search_code`, `mcp__web__search`.
+
+### Lifecycle
+
+Boot-time from `cordis.yml`. HMR (`@cordisjs/plugin-hmr`) provides hot-swap: editing the yml entry triggers dispose of the old instance (disconnects, unregisters tools) and creation of a new one (connects, discovers, registers). No runtime-dynamic API for now. Public names are pure functions of `(serverName, rawName)`, so an HMR swap that keeps `serverName` recreates identical model-facing names — session history and permission rules stay valid — and adding or removing an unrelated server never renames an existing tool.
+
+### Tool discovery and registration
+
+Every MCP tool has two names:
+
+- `rawName` — the exact MCP `Tool.name`, used only on the wire (`tools/call`).
+- `publicName` — the globally unique model-facing name registered in the `ToolRegistry`:
+
+      mcp__<serverName>__<rawName>
+
+This server-qualified shape is the de-facto standard among multi-server agent clients — every surveyed end-user product qualifies MCP tools by server ([Claude Code](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/agent-sdk/mcp#tool-naming-convention) `mcp__github__list_issues`, [Codex](https://openai.com/index/unrolling-the-codex-agent-loop/) `mcp__weather__get-forecast`, [Gemini CLI](https://geminicli.com/docs/tools/mcp-server/#3-tool-naming-and-namespaces), [VS Code](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/ab9ec62c6a61e429a9abd612ff220c3f4834c9ea/src/vs/workbench/contrib/mcp/common/mcpServer.ts#L217-L260), [Cline](https://github.com/cline/cline/blob/52fdbb1d72f7324a28142a7ba7678d4b53c902f4/sdk/packages/core/src/extensions/mcp/name-transform.ts#L20-L35), [Roo Code](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/blob/b867ec9145750d0ae1ff7f02d35406e9bf2a0b16/src/utils/mcp-name.ts#L117-L140), [Goose](https://github.com/block/goose/blob/b3a012cbdde854b0fe14f95b1c48543bf6517c0a/crates/goose/src/agents/extension_manager.rs#L1391-L1441), [OpenCode](https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/blob/d199b1bff90282a4f9cd6251b5fc7b16875a52f6/packages/opencode/src/mcp/catalog.ts#L117-L120)); the exact `mcp__<server>__<tool>` spelling follows Claude Code and Codex. The `mcp__` marker keeps MCP registrations out of the native tools' namespace and gives permission/telemetry rules a stable shape (`mcp__*`, `mcp__github__*`).
+
+1. On connect: drain `client.listTools()` pagination, derive every tool's `publicName`, then register each as a raw `ToolDefinition` via `ctx.tools.register()`. The MCP JSON Schema and description pass through unchanged (no `defineTool` DSL conversion); only the model-facing `name` is replaced.
+2. Listen for `notifications/tools/list_changed` → re-run the same sync (dispose previous generation, register new). Deterministic names mean unchanged tools keep their names across re-syncs.
+3. The executor closes over `rawName`; the public name is never sent to the server and never parsed to recover the raw name.
+4. No `presentCall`/`presentResult` — the ACP bridge's generic-card fallback handles rendering.
+5. Tools are transparent in the system prompt — no "[via MCP]" annotation beyond the name itself.
+
+### Public name normalization
+
+MCP allows tool names up to 128 characters including `.`; the DeepSeek function-name contract allows `[A-Za-z0-9_-]` and at most 64. Public names are normalized deterministically: invalid characters become `_`, and when replacement or truncation changed the name, a 12-hex-char SHA-256 hash of the `(serverName, rawName)` identity is appended so distinct MCP identities can never collapse into the same public name:
+
+```typescript
+function publicToolName(serverName: string, rawName: string): string {
+  const joined = `mcp__${serverName}__${rawName}`
+  const normalized = joined.replace(/[^A-Za-z0-9_-]/g, '_')
+  if (normalized === joined && normalized.length <= 64) return normalized
+  const hash = sha256(`${serverName}\0${rawName}`).slice(0, 12)
+  return `${normalized.slice(0, 64 - 13)}_${hash}`
+}
+```
+
+### Name conflict handling

+MCP guarantees tool-name uniqueness only [within one server](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-11-25/server/tools#tool-names); cross-server collisions are the norm, not the exception (a [Microsoft Research survey](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/blog/tool-space-interference-in-the-mcp-era-designing-for-agent-compatibility-at-scale/#namespacing-issues-and-naming-ambiguity) of 1,470 servers found 775 colliding tool names; `search` alone appears in 32 servers, and the official GitHub server publishes bare `create_issue`). The always-on namespace makes collisions structurally impossible instead of handling them at collision time:
+
+- Two servers publishing `search` coexist as `mcp__github__search` and `mcp__web__search`.
+- A native harness tool named `search` is unaffected.
+- Duplicate `serverName` config fails the later instance at load (see Configuration).
+- A server listing the same tool name twice is an invalid tool list: the sync throws and the previous generation stays registered.
+- A registry conflict during the swap can only mean a foreign tool squats on this server's `mcp__<serverName>__` namespace: the partial generation is rolled back (zero tools from this server) and the error is logged loudly.
+
+Tools are never silently skipped; which tools are available never depends on plugin load order.
+
+### Naming invariants
+
+1. Every MCP tool has the stable identity `(serverName, rawName)`; every active identity has exactly one public name.
+2. Public names are deterministic, globally unique, and satisfy the DeepSeek 64-char `[A-Za-z0-9_-]` contract.
+3. MCP `tools/call` always receives the original raw name.
+4. Connecting, disconnecting, or re-syncing an unrelated server never renames an existing tool.
+5. Registration order never determines which tool is available.
+
+### Tool execution
+
+A unified `execute` handler for all tools from one MCP server:
+
+1. Resolve `rawName` (the executor closes over it) and call `client.callTool({ name: rawName, arguments }, { signal: exec.signal })` with the configured timeout — the public name is never sent to the server.
+2. Map the result:
+   - Multiple `text` content blocks → join with `'\n'` into a single `TextBlock` (required: `flattenText` uses `join('')` without separator, so multiple blocks would lose inter-block boundaries).
+   - `image` content blocks → discard with a `ctx.logger.warn` (the harness has no image content block type; [drop-image RFC](../../implemented/simplification/2026-07-04-drop-image-content-block.md)).
+   - `isError: true` → map to the harness `isError` result path (`{ content: [...], isError: true }`).
+3. Cancellation: `exec.signal` (from the agent loop's cancel) is passed through to the MCP SDK's `callTool`, which sends `$/cancelRequest` to the server.
+
+### Subprocess environment (stdio transport)
+
+Replicate the `buildChildEnv` + `SENSITIVE_ENV_PATTERN` scrub from `dsh-subagent-acp`: filter ambient env (strip credential-shaped vars matching `/KEY|SECRET|TOKEN/i`), then merge `config.env` on top. Explicit env overrides survive the scrub.
+
+### Disconnection / crash
+
+No auto-reconnect. If the MCP server process exits or the transport closes:
+
+1. The effect disposes → all registered tools are unregistered (fiber-scoped disposers).
+2. Subsequent model calls to those tools → `ToolNotFoundError` → `isError: true`.
+3. Recovery: user edits `cordis.yml` (triggers HMR reload) or restarts the harness.
+
+This matches the ACP subagent pattern: "crash = terminal, report error, clean up, don't retry."
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+### MCP Server side (expose harness tools to external MCP clients)
+
+Deferred. The ACP bridge already exposes the harness as an agent server. Adding an MCP server layer would duplicate that with a different protocol, and the primary user need is consuming external tools, not exposing them.
+
+### Capability-seam three-package split (interface / impl / consumer)
+
+Rejected. There is no foreseeable alternative MCP client implementation — MCP has one protocol, one SDK. The convention is "don't split preemptively" until a second implementation appears.
+
+### Auto-reconnect with exponential backoff
+
+Rejected for v1. Adds complexity (partial-availability state where tools are registered but temporarily non-functional), and stdio process crashes usually indicate a configuration problem that retrying won't fix. HMR already provides the manual recovery path. Can be added as a future `reconnect: boolean` config if needed.
+
+### Bridge Resources and Prompts
+
+Deferred. Resources need a harness-side mechanism to decide WHEN to inject content (system prompt? on demand? model-triggered?). Prompts need a "prompt template" concept the harness lacks. Both require their own design; Tools are the high-value, low-risk starting point.
+
+### Raw model-facing tool names with an optional `toolPrefix`
+
+Rejected — this was the original proposal, built on the premise that "most MCP servers already use semantic prefixes in their tool names (e.g. `github_create_issue`)". The premise is false: the official GitHub server publishes `create_issue`, the reference filesystem server `read_file`, Sentry `search_issues` — and the Microsoft survey above shows collisions are common at ecosystem scale. Collision-time prefixing (or warn-and-skip) also makes the available tool set depend on plugin load order, and a tool could be silently renamed when an unrelated server is added — invalidating session history and permission rules mid-conversation. No surveyed multi-server agent product ships raw names.
+
+### Server-only namespace (`github__create_issue`, no `mcp__` marker)
+
+Rejected for v1. It prevents cross-server collisions but does not separate MCP registrations from native harness tools, and it forfeits MCP-wide policy shapes (`mcp__*`). The marker costs 5 characters; the `mcp__<server>__<tool>` spelling matches Claude Code and Codex, maximizing model familiarity. If the ToolRegistry later grows source-aware namespaces, dropping the literal marker can be revisited as a naming-policy change.
+
+### Deriving the namespace from the server-announced `serverInfo.name`
+
+Rejected. The remote name is untrusted, non-unique across deployments, and changeable on upgrade; tool identity and permission rules must not silently follow it. The namespace is local configuration.
+
+### Preserve multiple TextBlocks in tool result
+
+Rejected. `flattenText()` in the DeepSeek serializer uses `join('')` (no separator) when flattening `ContentBlock[]` to wire format. Multiple text blocks would silently lose inter-block boundaries — a correctness bug. All existing tools return a single TextBlock; the MCP bridge follows suit.
+
+## Testing
+
+Coverage is named per tier; each behavior lives at the cheapest tier that can express it.
+
+- **Unit** (`tests/mcp-client.spec.ts`, `tests/apply.spec.ts`, mocked MCP SDK): the `publicToolName` algorithm (clean, normalize, truncate-and-hash, determinism, distinct-identity separation), raw-vs-public wire discipline, cross-server and native-tool coexistence, duplicate-`serverName` load failure and reservation release, invalid-tool-list rejection, generation swap/rollback, failed-re-sync retention, result mapping, cancellation, config schema validation. 100% per-file coverage gates the package.
+- **E2E** (`tests/mcp-client.e2e.ts`, keyless): the real MCP protocol against the in-repo fixture server, `@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything`, and `@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem` over stdio, and against an in-process `StreamableHTTPServerTransport` server over Streamable HTTP — discovery under the namespace, dotted-name normalization end to end, execution round-trips, duplicate-`serverName` rejection, disposal.
+- **Snapshot**: deliberately none. MCP tools introduce no new transcript surface — they register as raw `ToolDefinition`s and render through the ACP bridge's generic-card fallback, which the bridge's unit suite already pins (`packages/ui/acp/tests/stream-update.spec.ts`). Adding an MCP server to the snapshot example's `cordis.yml` would mutate the pinned `text-turn` system-prompt fixture (forcing a with-key re-record of every recorded golden) and make every replay depend on spawning an external MCP server process — for zero new rendering behavior. If a later change gives MCP tools their own render intent, that change names its snapshot coverage then.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- A `cordis.yml` entry per MCP server is the entire integration cost: `serverName: filesystem` + a stdio command (or a Streamable HTTP URL) puts `mcp__filesystem__read_file` in the model's tool list, callable, with the raw `read_file` on the wire.
+- Public names are part of session history and permission/config surfaces; the naming algorithm is a v1 contract pinned by tests, and changing it after release is a breaking change.
+- The `mcp__<serverName>__` qualifier costs tokens on every name. Accepted: descriptions and JSON schemas dominate tool-definition tokens, and the qualifier buys stable identity, collision isolation, and MCP-wide policy shapes (`mcp__*`, `mcp__github__*`).
+- **MCP SDK stability**: the `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` is still evolving; breaking changes require updating the bridge. The version is pinned, and the SDK is widely adopted (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code) so breaking changes are unlikely to be silent.
+- **Tool schema quality**: MCP servers may expose poorly-described tools (vague descriptions, incomplete JSON schemas). The harness passes them through as-is — garbage-in-garbage-out; that is the server author's responsibility, not the bridge's.
+- **Stdio process management**: a misbehaving MCP server that ignores signals could wedge dispose. The Cordis fiber disposal has bounded quiescence; a stuck transport eventually times out at the framework level.
+- Crash recovery is manual (HMR edit or restart) — accepted for v1; a `reconnect` config remains open as future work.

+# RFC: Background subagent tasks
+
+Status: implemented
+
+## Problem
+
+The [subagent seam](2026-06-21-subagent-capability-seam.md) returns a `SubagentRun`, but the model-facing tool originally collected every run synchronously. Independent, slow delegations therefore held the parent call open or ran serially.
+
+Subagents need the same start, collect, list, stop, ownership, notification, and cleanup behavior as other long-running tools without adopting process-stream semantics. The child session remains the detailed trace; the parent needs the final answer and task status. A background child also outlives its starting tool call, so its cancellation and owner-disposal contracts must be explicit.
+
+## Decision
+
+Each `dsh-tool-subagent` instance may expose `run_in_background`, controlled by `enableRunInBackground` and enabled by default. A disabled instance omits the parameter and rejects a forced background argument at execution. Provider selection remains deployment configuration, so one instance still registers one distinctly named tool for one provider.
+
+Background subagents use the [generic background task runtime](../architecture/2026-06-20-generic-long-running-tool-runtime.md). Collection, listing, cancellation, completion notices, and prompt guidance come from `task_output`, `task_list`, and `task_kill`; there are no subagent-specific companion tools.
+
+Foreground calls retain their synchronous contract: await provider startup and `run.result`, return final text only for `completed`, map other terminal reasons to an errored tool result, and always dispose the run before returning.
+
+For a background call, the tool validates the parent and refuses an already-aborted execution signal before calling `ctx.tasks.start()`. The task runtime preflights the control surface and owner cleanup before invoking the producer starter. That starter creates an independent `AbortController` and begins `ctx.subagents.start()`; after the id is returned, the tool-call signal no longer owns the child.
+
+The task registration maps the subagent seam as follows:
+
+- `kind` is `subagent`, `label` is the model-supplied description, and `owner` is the parent agent.
+- `cancel(reason?)` aborts the task-owned controller. The same signal covers pending provider startup and the ready child.
+- `done` awaits provider startup, the child result, and `run.dispose()`. Completed runs return final text, aborted runs become `killed`, and other stop reasons become `failed`. Startup, result, and disposal failures become failed outcomes rather than rejected task promises.
+- `readOutput` is absent. While live, `task_output` returns status only; after settlement, it returns final output idempotently. Intermediate child activity remains in the child session.
+
+## Lifecycle
+
+A background subagent belongs to its parent agent and is not durable across owner closure. The task runtime attaches cleanup to the exact owner's scope. Agent disposal cancels the task and awaits startup rollback or child disposal before `AgentHandle.dispose()` resolves, preventing leaked child agents and sessions.
+
+Completion notices target the exact owner captured at start. If owner teardown has already disposed the injection target, the notice is dropped; cleanup, not notification, is the lifecycle guarantee.
+
+## Model guidance
+
+The generic task prompt teaches the shared habit: retain ids, continue independent work instead of busy-polling, collect relevant tasks before answering, and kill irrelevant work. The subagent schema adds only that background mode returns a task id and that `task_output` collects the result. Authorization and owner cleanup enforce the runtime boundary independently of prompt compliance.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+### Subagent-specific wait, output, and stop tools
+
+Capability-specific tools would duplicate the task protocol, teach another collect-and-stop habit, and complicate multiple provider instances. The generic runtime provides the required behavior without changing the tool's one-provider-per-instance shape.
+
+### Survival after owner closure
+
+Survival requires persistent task state, child-session recovery, a late-result delivery channel, and policy for abandoned owners. Owner-scoped cleanup gives process-local work a clear lifetime. Durable jobs require a separate design.
+
+### No owner checks for isolated clients
+
+Agents and logs may be session-scoped, but the task registry and predictable ids are runtime-global. The generic owner fence therefore applies to subagents like every other producer.
+
+### Incremental child transcript output
+
+Streaming child history into the parent would blur the log boundary and make provider behavior diverge. This surface exposes final output only; richer observation belongs to session or UI tooling.
+
+## Testing
+
+Unit coverage pins stop-reason mapping, dispose-before-report behavior, startup and result failures, pre-aborted refusal, detachment from the starting call's signal, cancellation before and after provider readiness, collection through the real task tools, the no-surface preflight fence, missing-runtime failure, and per-instance schema gating. Snapshot coverage pins the model-facing schemas.
+
+## Consequences
+
+The parent can fan out slow delegations and collect them through the same task controls used by bash. Child work no longer occupies the starting tool call, but it can consume resources until collected, killed, or owner-disposed. Prompt guidance encourages collection; owner cleanup provides the hard lifetime boundary. Deployments that require synchronous delegation can disable background mode per tool instance.

+# RFC: Optional time-context plugin
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-14-time-context-plugin.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+An agent request has no live clock unless a deployment puts one in prompt text or gives the model a query tool. Static text becomes stale, while a tool call adds overhead to ordinary reasoning about dates, deadlines, or idle time. Without elapsed time, the model cannot distinguish an immediate follow-up from one sent hours after the preceding message.
+
+Prompt assembly can derive both facts per step from durable session timestamps, and request-header logging can record the exact rendered value. Accumulating stale readings in conversation history or waking idle agents would violate the existing request lifecycle.
+
+## Decision
+
+`@deepseek-ai/dsh-time-context` is an opt-in function plugin at `packages/context/time-context/`. The `context/` product group holds bounded request-context enrichments that define neither a tool nor a service. `dsh-agent-spine-demo` and shipped examples do not load the package; deployments mount it explicitly when its token and disclosure costs are acceptable.
+
+The plugin registers the global `context:time` system-prompt section at order 10, after the deployment persona and before tool guidance. For an active turn it emits an ISO-shaped timestamp with numeric UTC offset and IANA zone, plus a compact whole-second duration since the last model-visible message before the turn opened. Bare and idle assemblies receive an empty section.
+
+### Previous-message baseline
+
+At a turn's first assembly, the provider scans before `turn/start` for the latest `user/message`, `assistant/message`, `tool/result`, `context/message`, or `steering/message`. It excludes the current prompt so the duration expresses the inter-turn gap instead of approximately zero. Every refresh in that turn keeps the same baseline, and the first turn reports `unavailable (no earlier message in this session)`.
+
+The baseline is the session event's append time, not an unlogged client timestamp. Resume and fork behavior are therefore deterministic from the durable log, and the model-visible value remains reconstructable without a new event. A backward wall-clock adjustment clamps the duration to zero.
+
+### Refresh policy
+
+`refreshIntervalMs` defaults to 60,000 and must be a non-negative safe integer. Every turn's first request refreshes. Later assemblies in that turn reuse the block until its age reaches the interval; `0` refreshes every step. No timer creates work during model calls, tools, or idle time because refresh is request-bound.
+
+When `timeZone` is omitted, `Intl.DateTimeFormat` resolves the Node process's system zone once at plugin load. Node honors `TZ`; without that override, the host or container supplies the zone. An explicit value must be an IANA identifier and is validated at load. The captured zone remains stable until plugin reload, and the ISO-shaped local timestamp includes its current numeric offset so daylight-saving changes stay explicit. This is the deployment process's zone, not a remote user's zone.
+
+### Logging and token shape
+
+The loop records the temporal block through `request/header` and `request/header-delta` before transmission, satisfying the [reconstructable-requests contract](../architecture/2026-07-05-reconstructable-requests.md). Each request carries one current block; earlier readings do not remain in conversation history. The plugin owns the fact and contributes it through the prompt registry, following the [prompt-variables RFC](../architecture/2026-07-05-prompt-variables-and-tool-guidance-ownership.md) without a loop special case.
+
+## Testing
+
+Unit tests pin formatting, baselines, refresh policy, validation, per-agent state, disposal, and load-time system-zone capture. A real agent-loop test pins the transmitted prompt and `request/header-delta`. A keyless subprocess e2e boots a test-only `cordis.yml` through the real Loader and stdio app, omits `timeZone` under a controlled `TZ`, drives two turns, and verifies the persisted request headers externally. Default snapshot compositions omit the plugin, so their transcript fixtures contain no temporal block.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **Append a `context/message` on every turn or refresh** — rejected because readings and token cost would accumulate in history. Replacing a prior surface node would preserve its old position, while replacing the tail would hide intervening conversation.
+- **Use `agent/session-prefix`** — rejected because the session-stable prefix cannot represent a per-turn or per-step clock.
+- **Mutate requests in `agent/request`** — rejected because that seam shapes call config after the message boundary; inserted model content would bypass prompt-pressure accounting and request-header logging.
+- **Register separate `{{current_time}}` and `{{elapsed}}` variables** — rejected because independent providers can sample different instants and require shared caching. One section records the pair atomically without a deployment-authored template.
+- **Refresh from a background timer** — rejected because a new value has no consumer outside request assembly. Timer-driven `agent.inject()` would create turns and wake idle sessions merely to report time passing.
+- **Keep UTC as the omitted default** — rejected because an explicitly enabled clock should follow its deployment environment unless the operator chooses UTC. `timeZone: UTC` remains available when a deployment requires it.
+- **Add a time-zone detection library** — rejected because Node's `Intl` runtime already exposes the process's IANA zone. Another dependency cannot infer a remote user's zone either.
+- **Mount the plugin in `dsh-agent-spine-demo`** — rejected because time zone, disclosure, token budget, and freshness are deployment policy. Opt-in keeps default context stable.
+- **Place the package in `core/`** — rejected because `core/` owns the product API spine, while this plugin is an optional leaf with no service key.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Opted-in models receive a zoned clock and inter-turn duration without a tool call. The system-prompt cost is fixed per request instead of growing with the session.
+- An omitted `timeZone` follows the process's `TZ`, host, or container zone as observed at plugin load. Operators must configure an explicit zone when the deployment environment does not represent the intended user.
+- A refresh changes the request header and can add a `request/header-delta`. `refreshIntervalMs` trades freshness against durable deltas; `0` records a new value on every step whose whole-second rendering changes.
+- No request exists solely to refresh time. A long-running tool leaves the prior reading until the next step assembles.
+- Duration reflects harness processing time at durable append boundaries, not client-network latency before logging. Preserving a client-origin timestamp requires a separate durable input contract.

+# RFC：可选时间上下文插件
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-14-time-context-plugin.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+如果部署方既未在提示词中提供时钟，也未给模型提供查询工具，agent（智能体）请求就无法获得实时准确的时间。静态文本会变得陈旧，而对于日期、截止时间或闲置时长等常规推理，调用工具会增加开销。缺少已经过去的时长时，模型无法区分紧接着发送的消息与上一条消息几小时后才发送的消息。
+
+提示词组装流程可以在每个步骤中根据持久会话时间戳派生这两项信息，请求头日志则可以记录实际渲染的确切值。在会话历史中累积陈旧读数或唤醒空闲 agent 都会违反现有请求生命周期。
+
+## 决策
+
+`@deepseek-ai/dsh-time-context` 是位于 `packages/context/time-context/`、需要显式启用的函数插件。`context/` 产品分组用于容纳既不定义工具、也不定义服务的有界请求上下文增强。`dsh-agent-spine-demo` 和仓库提供的示例都不会加载该 package；只有当 token 与信息披露成本可接受时，部署方才显式挂载它。
+
+该插件注册顺序值为 10 的全局系统提示词区段 `context:time`，位置在部署方角色设定之后、工具指导之前。对于活跃轮次，它会输出带数字 UTC 偏移和 IANA 时区、形似 ISO 的时间戳，以及从轮次开始前最后一条模型可见消息起算的紧凑整秒时长。未绑定 agent 或 agent 处于空闲状态时，该区段为空。
+
+### 上一条消息基线
+
+在轮次首次组装时，提供方会在 `turn/start` 之前查找最近的 `user/message`、`assistant/message`、`tool/result`、`context/message` 或 `steering/message`。它会排除当前提示词，使时长表达轮次间隔，而不是接近零。同一轮次中的每次刷新都保留这条基线；首个轮次报告 `unavailable (no earlier message in this session)`。
+
+基线采用会话事件的追加时间，而不是日志中不存在的客户端时间戳。因此，恢复和 fork 行为可以从持久日志中确定性重现，模型可见值也无需新增事件即可重建。系统挂钟向后调整时，插件会将时长钳制为零。
+
+### 刷新策略
+
+`refreshIntervalMs` 默认值为 60,000，并且必须是非负安全整数。每个轮次的首次请求都会刷新。同一轮次中的后续组装会复用该区块，直至其存在时间达到该间隔；设为 `0` 时每个步骤都刷新。刷新仅由请求驱动，因此在模型调用、工具运行或空闲期间，计时器不会创建任务。
+
+省略 `timeZone` 时，`Intl.DateTimeFormat` 会在插件加载时解析一次 Node 进程的系统时区。Node 会遵循 `TZ`；没有该覆盖值时，时区由主机或容器提供。显式值必须是 IANA 标识符，并在加载时接受校验。捕获的时区在插件重新加载前保持稳定，形似 ISO 的本地时间戳包含其当前数字偏移，使夏令时变化保持显式可见。该默认值代表部署进程的时区，而不是远程用户的时区。
+
+### 日志与 token 形态
+
+agent loop（智能体循环）会在发送前通过 `request/header` 和 `request/header-delta` 记录时间区块，从而满足[可重建请求契约](../architecture/2026-07-05-reconstructable-requests.md)。每个请求只携带一个当前区块；先前的读数不会保留在会话历史中。该插件拥有时间信息，并按照[提示词变量 RFC](../architecture/2026-07-05-prompt-variables-and-tool-guidance-ownership.md)通过提示词注册表贡献该信息，无需为循环添加特殊分支。
+
+## 测试
+
+单元测试固定格式化、基线、刷新策略、校验、逐 agent 状态、资源释放行为，以及系统时区在加载时的捕获行为。使用真实 agent loop 的测试固定实际发送的提示词和 `request/header-delta`。无密钥子进程端到端测试通过真实 Loader 和 stdio 应用启动测试专用 `cordis.yml`，在受控 `TZ` 下省略 `timeZone`，驱动两个轮次，并从外部校验持久请求头。默认快照组合不包含该插件，因此其中的 transcript（文本记录）fixture（测试前置数据）不包含时间区块。
+
+## 考虑过的替代方案
+
+- **每个轮次或每次刷新都追加一条 `context/message`**——不予采纳，因为读数和 token 成本会在历史中累积。替换先前的表层节点会保留其旧位置，而替换尾部节点会隐藏中间的会话内容。
+- **使用 `agent/session-prefix`**——不予采纳，因为会话期间保持稳定的前缀无法表示逐轮次或逐步骤变化的时钟。
+- **在 `agent/request` 中修改请求**——不予采纳，因为该边界在消息边界之后塑造调用配置；插入模型可见内容会绕过提示词压力核算和请求头日志。
+- **注册独立的 `{{current_time}}` 和 `{{elapsed}}` 变量**——不予采纳，因为独立提供方可能在不同时间点采样，并且需要共享缓存。单个区段会以原子方式记录两项信息，也不需要部署方编写时间模板。
+- **通过后台计时器刷新**——不予采纳，因为请求组装之外没有消费新值的对象。由计时器驱动 `agent.inject()` 会创建轮次，并且只为报告时间流逝就唤醒空闲会话。
+- **省略配置时仍默认使用 UTC**——不予采纳，因为显式启用的时钟应跟随部署环境，除非运维方选择 UTC。需要 UTC 的部署仍可配置 `timeZone: UTC`。
+- **引入时区探测库**——不予采纳，因为 Node 的 `Intl` 运行时已经能够提供进程的 IANA 时区，而且额外依赖同样无法推断远程用户的时区。
+- **在 `dsh-agent-spine-demo` 中挂载插件**——不予采纳，因为时区、信息披露、token 预算和新鲜度都属于部署策略。选择加入能保持默认上下文稳定。
+- **将 package 放入 `core/`**——不予采纳，因为 `core/` 负责产品 API 主干，而该插件是没有服务键的可选叶节点。
+
+## 后果
+
+- 选择加入的模型无需调用工具，即可获得分区时钟和轮次间隔时长。每个请求的系统提示词成本固定，不会随会话增长。
+- 省略 `timeZone` 时，插件采用加载时观察到的进程 `TZ`、主机或容器时区。当部署环境不能代表目标用户时，运维方必须显式配置时区。
+- 刷新会改变请求头，并可能新增 `request/header-delta`。`refreshIntervalMs` 用新鲜度换取持久增量记录的数量；设为 `0` 时，每个整秒渲染结果发生变化的步骤都会记录新值。
+- 系统不会仅为刷新时间而创建请求。长时间运行的工具会保留先前读数，直至下一步骤开始组装。
+- 时长反映持久追加边界处的 harness 处理时间，不包含消息进入日志之前的客户端网络延迟。若要保留客户端来源时间戳，需要单独的持久输入契约。

+# RFC: TypeScript Program-backed semantic gates
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-14-typescript-program-backed-semantic-gates.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+Repository gates sometimes need facts that TypeScript syntax does not carry by itself: whether a receiver is a Cordis `Context`, which concrete event names reach a forwarding helper, and whether declaration merging changed an event signature.
+
+The existing gates use TypeScript's single-file syntax model and maintain these facts through naming conventions, handwritten tables, and JSDoc.
+
+The repository needs one semantic source of truth without introducing runtime package cycles, broad fallback heuristics, or machine-readable annotations that restate information already available to TypeScript.
+
+## Decision
+
+Repository gates can combine project-wide type information through `ts.Program` and use `TypeChecker` to extract **strongly typed** facts, reducing their reliance on naming conventions, handwritten tables, and JSDoc metadata.
+
+The repository applies this model to two gates.
+
+### One project model expands the root solution
+
+[`TypeScriptProject`](../../../../scripts/ts-project.ts) parses the root `tsconfig.json`, recursively expands every project reference, and combines the referenced source roots into one no-emit semantic program. A normal program created from the solution config can redirect referenced projects to built declarations; explicit expansion keeps the package `src` files available for AST traversal and symbol identity.
+
+The wrapper owns config diagnostics, semantic compiler options, repository-relative paths, source lookup, and the shared checker. Individual gates do not glob package sources or construct partial programs independently.
+
+### A. Event relations follow receiver and value types
+
+[`gen-doc-graphs`](../../../../scripts/gen-doc-graphs.ts) classifies calls by assignability to the repository's actual `Context`, `AgentEventDispatch`, and Cordis `EventsService` types. Variable names and property spellings do not determine whether a call is an event operation.
+
+Context and agent-dispatch calls contribute only finite string-literal event sets. Direct `EventsService.dispatch()` calls recover the event slot through array literals, constant aliases, conditional branches, and resolved call sites of non-exported local helpers. Generic forwarding parameters are not concrete producers: attribution stays with the call sites that supply a closed event value.
+
+Every declared harness event must have a discovered producer. A missing producer fails generation as dead vocabulary or an unsupported semantic dispatch shape; listener-free extension points remain valid. `internal/dispatch` instrumentation is not treated as a subscription to every event it observes, so the matrix contains direct product listeners rather than manually asserted indirect relationships.
+
+### B. Scoped-event routing generates one typed resolver map
+
+[`gen-scoped-events`](../../../../scripts/gen-scoped-events.ts) scans real `scopeTarget(base, key)` calls to establish the routing-key type for each scoped base. It then finds Cordis `Events` members with `this: Scoped<Base>` and searches every payload parameter plus one public property level for a type identical to that key after removing `null` and `undefined`.
+
+Exactly one match generates a resolver. Multiple matches are ambiguous and fail. Zero matches require `@dshScopeScan unsupported`, which is reserved for events whose routing key intentionally stays outside the payload, such as owner-keyed session events and parent-keyed subagent lifecycle events. The annotation records an unsupported scan; it does not encode an event name, parameter index, property path, or replacement type.
+
+The committed [`scoped-events.generated.ts`](../../../../packages/support/invariants/src/scoped-events.generated.ts) imports every scoped-event owner for its type-side `Events` contributions. Each generated lambda accepts `Parameters<Events[K]>`, and the complete object satisfies a `Record` over the derived `ScopedEventName` union. Ordinary TypeScript compilation therefore checks event existence, parameter position, property access, and scoped-event completeness. The only cast adapts Cordis's runtime `unknown[]` dispatch boundary to the already type-checked resolver.
+
+The invariants plugin consumes this generated runtime map instead of maintaining its own table. Additional event-owner packages are dev dependencies and project references of `dsh-invariants`, not peer dependencies, so the compile-time aggregation does not expand the plugin's runtime closure.
+
+### Semantic gaps fail explicitly
+
+The generators reject missing declarations, config diagnostics, widened or generic event names, inconsistent routing-key types, ambiguous payload matches, unnecessary unsupported annotations, and stale generated output. Recovery through local helper call sites is deliberately narrow: exported or unresolved dataflow requires a new semantic rule rather than a package-specific override.
+
+## Verification
+
+`verify-doc-graphs` freshness-checks semantic producer/listener discovery, and `verify-scoped-events` freshness-checks the generated resolver map. The root TypeScript build compiles the resolver against merged `Events`; workspace constraints and runtime-closure checks ensure its type-only aggregation does not become a deployment dependency.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **Keep syntax-only scans with receiver allowlists and manual overrides.** This is simple per exception but makes renames and new helper shapes update a second representation. Completeness can detect a missing producer, but it cannot prove that the override still describes the source.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Event relation generation follows semantic receiver identity and closed event values instead of local naming conventions.
+- Scoped-event membership, subject extraction, and runtime invariant coverage come from event declarations and real dispatch contracts rather than handwritten tables.
+- Refactors that change event names, parameter positions, subject properties, or routing-key types fail generation or compilation at the owning contract.
+- Building a flattened Program costs more startup time and memory than parsing isolated files, and semantic gates depend on a valid root project graph.
+- Generated TypeScript remains committed source: changes to event owners or dispatch shapes must regenerate it and the affected documentation.

+# RFC: 基于 TypeScript Program 的语义门禁
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-14-typescript-program-backed-semantic-gates.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+仓库门禁有时需要判断 TypeScript 语法本身不携带的事实：接收者是否为 Cordis `Context`、哪些具体事件名会进入转发辅助函数、声明合并是否改变了事件签名。
+
+当前的门禁基于 TypeScript 单文件语法解析能力，使用命名约定、手写的表格、JSDoc 等方式来维护这类信息。
+
+仓库需要一个语义真源，同时不能引入运行时包（package）之间的循环依赖、宽泛的兜底启发式逻辑，或重复描述 TypeScript 已有信息的机器可读标注。
+
+## 决策
+
+仓库可以通过项目级类型信息 `ts.Program` 进行跨文件项目类型联合计算，并通过 `TypeChecker` 来提取 **强类型** 信息，用以缓解原有命名约定、手写表格、JSDoc 标注等形式。
+
+当前已完成 A / B 两个门禁的语义化改造。
+
+### 一个项目模型展开根项目配置
+
+[`TypeScriptProject`](../../../../scripts/ts-project.ts) 解析根 `tsconfig.json`，递归展开每个项目引用，并将各引用项目的源码根合并为一个不输出文件的语义 Program。直接从根项目配置创建普通 Program 时，TypeScript 可能将引用项目重定向到构建后的声明文件；显式展开可以让门禁继续遍历各包的 `src` 文件，并使用真实符号标识。
+
+该封装统一负责配置诊断、语义编译选项、仓库相对路径、源码查找和共享 TypeChecker。各门禁不再自行按文件通配模式扫描包源码，也不再分别构建不完整的 Program。
+
+### A. 事件关系由接收者类型和值类型决定
+
+[`gen-doc-graphs`](../../../../scripts/gen-doc-graphs.ts) 根据调用接收者与仓库中真实 `Context`、`AgentEventDispatch` 和 Cordis `EventsService` 类型之间的可赋值关系进行分类。变量名和属性拼写不再决定某次调用是否属于事件操作。
+
+Context 与 AgentEventDispatch 调用只贡献有限的字符串字面量事件集合。对于直接调用 `EventsService.dispatch()` 的路径，生成器会沿数组字面量、常量别名、条件分支和未导出本地辅助函数的已解析调用点恢复事件槽位。泛型转发参数不算作具体生产方：事件仍归属于传入封闭事件值的调用点。
+
+每个已声明的 harness 事件都必须存在扫描得到的生产方。找不到生产方时，生成过程会将其视为无调用方的事件词汇或尚不支持的语义 dispatch 形态并明确失败；没有监听方的扩展点仍然合法。`internal/dispatch` 插桩不会被当作它所观察的每个事件的订阅，因此关系矩阵只记录直接的产品监听方，不再手工补充间接关系。
+
+### B. 带作用域的事件路由生成一份强类型解析函数表
+
+[`gen-scoped-events`](../../../../scripts/gen-scoped-events.ts) 扫描真实的 `scopeTarget(base, key)` 调用，为每种 scoped 基础对象确定路由键类型。随后，它查找带有 `this: Scoped<Base>` 的 Cordis `Events` 成员，并在每个事件参数及其一层公开属性中搜索类型；移除 `null` 和 `undefined` 后，候选类型必须与路由键类型完全相同。
+
+恰好一个匹配项会生成解析函数。存在多个匹配项时，含义不明确，生成器会失败。没有匹配项时，事件必须标记 `@dshScopeScan unsupported`；该标记只用于路由键有意留在事件参数之外的情况，例如按所属 agent（智能体）路由的会话事件和按父 agent 路由的 subagent 生命周期事件。此标记只表示扫描不受支持，不编码事件名、参数下标、属性路径或替代类型。
+
+仓库提交的 [`scoped-events.generated.ts`](../../../../packages/support/invariants/src/scoped-events.generated.ts) 会导入每个带作用域的事件声明方，使它们从类型侧合并进 `Events`。每个生成函数都接收 `Parameters<Events[K]>`，完整对象则满足基于 `ScopedEventName` 联合类型派生出的 `Record`。因此，常规 TypeScript 编译会检查事件是否存在、参数位置、属性访问和带作用域的事件集合完整性。唯一的类型断言只负责将 Cordis 运行时的 `unknown[]` dispatch 边界适配到已经通过类型检查的解析函数。
+
+不变式插件消费这份生成的运行时表，不再维护自己的事件表。新增的事件声明方包只作为 `dsh-invariants` 的开发依赖和项目引用存在，不进入对等依赖，因此编译期聚合不会扩大插件的运行时依赖闭包。
+
+### 语义缺口必须显式失败
+
+遇到声明缺失、配置诊断、事件名被拓宽或保持泛型、路由键类型不一致、事件参数匹配不唯一、不必要的 unsupported 标记，或生成产物陈旧时，生成器都会拒绝继续。通过本地辅助函数调用点恢复信息的能力被刻意限制在窄范围内：如果数据流经过导出或无法解析的边界，应新增通用语义规则，而不是添加特定包的覆盖项。
+
+## 验证
+
+`verify-doc-graphs` 对语义生产方/监听方扫描执行新鲜度检查，`verify-scoped-events` 对生成的解析函数表执行新鲜度检查。根 TypeScript 构建会将解析函数与合并后的 `Events` 一起编译；workspace 约束和运行时依赖闭包检查则确保仅参与类型聚合的依赖不会变成部署依赖。
+
+## 考虑过的替代方案
+
+- **保留语法扫描、接收者白名单和手写覆盖项。** 每个例外都容易单独处理，但重命名和新增辅助函数形态时还必须更新第二份表示。完整性检查能够发现生产方缺失，却无法证明覆盖项仍与源码一致。
+
+## 后果
+
+- 事件关系生成依据语义接收者身份和封闭事件值，不再依赖局部命名约定；
+- 带作用域的事件成员关系、主体提取和运行时不变式覆盖来自事件声明与真实 dispatch 契约，不再来自手写表；
+- 修改事件名、参数位置、主体属性或路由键类型时，会在其所属契约处触发生成或编译失败；
+- 构建扁平化 Program 比解析孤立文件消耗更多启动时间和内存，语义门禁也依赖有效的根项目图；
+- 生成的 TypeScript 仍属于提交到仓库的源码：事件声明方或 dispatch 形态发生变化后，必须重新生成该文件和受影响的文档。

The module keeps the named `name`/`inject`/`Config`/`apply` export shape — the contract the app's `ctx.plugin(uiStdio, …)` mount consumes — and the keyless Loader-path smokes in `examples/echo-agent` and `examples/coding-agent` keep proving the composed tree boots through the real Loader (the stdio package's plugin-shape unit suite pins the explicit `unwrapExports` assertion, since a bundle without `inject` would boot past a stray default rather than crash).

 The `packages/support/ui-stdio` package is gone: manifest, tsconfig references, module-graph rows, and README rows deleted; the doc comments that named the package (the example e2e module docs, `packages/README.md`, the support and todo READMEs, [the ui group README](../../../../packages/ui/README.md)) describe the in-package module.

Since the [render-intent union](../architecture/2026-07-02-tool-render-intent-union.md), every first-party tool those arms matched ships its own `presentCall` carrying its kind, and the presenter-less production tools (`subagent`, `subagent_fork`) fell through to `other` anyway. The arms were production-reachable only when a tool declined to present its own call — a `presentCall` that THROWS (the containment fallback), or model arguments that fail the tool's schema so `defineTool`'s `presentCall` wrapper returns `undefined` (e.g. a `bash` call missing the required `description`) — and the bridge's own module doc states the design rule the heuristic violated: "the bridge never special-cases tool names".

+# RFC: Drop unconsumed skill provider events
+
+Status: implemented
+
+## Problem
+
+Two skill-registry notifications are produced but have no production listener. The generated producer/consumer matrix and exact event-name searches find only declarations, emit sites, tests, generated catalogs, and prose for `skill/provider-added` and `skill/provider-removed`.
+
+Skill discovery reads the current provider map on demand, provider registration synchronously clears completed catalogs, and the post-await revision check prevents stale discovery from entering the cache. No sibling plugin waits for a skill provider through these events, unlike the live `subagent/provider-added` consumer that tolerates concurrent sibling loading.
+
+`tools/change` and `system-prompt/change` are explicitly outside this proposal. Existing simplification decisions retain them as intentional observation points for live tool and prompt UIs, and self-referential mounted plugins already use `tools/change`. This proposal also leaves `subagent/provider-added`/`removed` unchanged because `tool-subagent` has a production lifecycle consumer.
+
+## Decision
+
+The skill registry declares and emits no provider-membership events. Provider registration and disposal remain direct effect-owned state changes that synchronously invalidate completed catalogs; lookup and discovery read the current provider map on demand. Tests observe cleanup through provider lookup and collected output rather than lifecycle notifications.
+
+The generated event catalog, API catalog, and producer/consumer matrix omit the deleted notifications. The skill-system RFC and package documentation describe registration through its direct effect-owned state and cache-invalidation contract.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Keep skill-provider notifications for future plugins.** A third-party plugin could observe provider availability, but direct provider registration and on-demand lookup are the extension contract; no current consumer needs a push signal. If a future sibling-load race appears, it can introduce a notification with the identity and readiness semantics that consumer requires, as the subagent registry did.
+
+## Consequences
+
+The generated event matrix contains no row for `skill/provider-added` or `skill/provider-removed`. Skill discovery, direct runtime registration, provider effect rollback/disposal, cache invalidation, and registry lookup cleanup remain; listener-triggered rollback disappears with the events. `tools/change`, `system-prompt/change`, and the consumed subagent provider lifecycle events are unchanged.
+
+Pre-release consumers lose skill-provider observation points while retaining both ways to contribute skills: direct runtime registration and provider registration. A future consumer that needs live provider availability must add a purpose-built notification with the identity and readiness semantics it actually requires.

+# RFC: Prune unused web seam fields
+
+Status: implemented
+
+## Problem
+
+The web capability carries request/result/status values that every shipped implementation populates but no production consumer reads. `WebSearchResult.providerId` and `query` and `WebFetchResult.providerId` are result echoes; `tool-web` formats only content/sources/truncation or final URL/status/body/truncation, and no other runtime reads them. Search providers return `WebProviderStatus.reason`, but resolution checks only `available` and intentionally emits a generic unavailable diagnostic.
+
+`WebFetchRequest.timeoutMs` is likewise never set by a production caller. `tool-web` supplies only the URL, uses the tool definition's timeout plus `exec.signal` for the caller deadline, and relies on the local provider's configured default as a backstop. The unused per-request override forces `web-fetch-local` to expose `maxTimeoutMs`, clamp two timeout sources, and document/test precedence no product path can select. `WebExecContext` is another one-field wrapper: every caller allocates `{ signal }` and every provider immediately unwraps `exec?.signal`; no second execution-control field exists.
+
+## Decision
+
+The web seam omits the search/fetch `providerId` result echoes and search `query` echo; callers already own the request and provider selection. Providers expose availability as a boolean-returning method. Fetch requests have no per-request timeout or `maxTimeoutMs` clamp; the local provider retains its configurable default timeout and the tool retains its own deadline. Provider methods receive a direct optional `AbortSignal` instead of a one-field `WebExecContext` wrapper.
+
+All web implementations and the model-facing tool use the smaller contract. The interface/implementation/consumer package split, provider selection, source citations, final-URL/status data, truncation reporting, and safety limits remain.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Keep self-describing results, per-request deadlines, and an extensible execution-context object.** Result echoes can help generic telemetry, a request timeout can help trusted programmatic callers, and the wrapper leaves room for future controls. No such consumer/second field exists; carrying duplicate identity, a second deadline policy, and wrap/unwrap plumbing through every provider makes the current contract harder to implement and explain. If telemetry or per-call budget control arrives, it should define which deadline wins, where provider identity is observed, and whether multiple controls justify a context object.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Every retained web request/result field is consumed by production code or required to execute the provider request. Tool-visible search/fetch output, provider fallback, abort behavior, the configured timeout backstop, truncation, and citations remain covered without a request-timeout precedence branch or execution-context wrapper.
+
+Pre-release programmatic callers lose result provenance echoes and per-request fetch deadlines. The provider still has a deployment-configurable timeout and respects cancellation, so the simplification removes configurability rather than a safety bound.

 ## Decision

-Exactly one scenario per header-composition class is flagged `pinsHeader`.

Live, every `request/header` produced by a parent, spawn child, fork child, initial request, or resume must match both halves of its class's pin after volatile-value normalization.

 One pin covers the whole suite because every session — parent, spawn child, fork child — composes the identical tool list and the identical prompt modulo cwd, and the uniformity guard fails the suite the moment that stops holding. If header composition ever becomes session-dependent by design (a restricted subagent toolset, say), the divergent shape gets its own pinning scenario.
