 ## Conventions
 
 - Every npm package is `@deepseek-ai/dsh-<name>`; vendored packages keep upstream names and are `private: true`. `cordis` is a peerDependency (+ dev) of every harness package.
-- ESM everywhere (`"type": "module"`). Cross-package imports use package names, never relative paths; in-package relative imports use explicit `.ts` extensions. Dev/test/demo run unbuilt via tsx + the root tsconfig `paths` map; builds are for outside consumers only.
+- ESM everywhere (`"type": "module"`). Cross-package imports use package names; in-package relative imports include `.ts`. CI subprocesses that boot examples or Cordis configs run built `lib/` under plain Node; only explicit source-path regressions use tsx ([testing policy](docs/testing.md#test-subprocess-launch-modes)).
 - **Registrations are effects**: every contribution goes through `ctx.effect()` / `ctx.on()`; a registry's `register()` returns the disposer.
 - **Typed events use declaration merging** and merge-extensible maps. Event JSDoc needs `@mode` and payload `@param`; scoped keys absent from payloads need `@dshScopeScan unsupported`. Public service methods document parameters and non-void returns.
 - **Switch on discriminant tags.** Closed unions end in `assertNever`; merge-extensible unions fall through a documented default.

 ### Failure Boundaries
 
-The turn is the containment boundary. `LlmService` preserves and privately tags errors from final adapter selection, dispatch, and iteration.

Replay state reaches targets only when both routes map to one adapter instance, which owns validation and conversion.

 A swappable capability usually splits into **interface / implementation / consumer**: the interface owns its `ctx` key and events, an implementation registers a backend, and a consumer exposes model behavior through tools or prompts. Bash is the reference; the [capability graph](capability-seams.md) shows every family.
 
-Some seams bend the template deliberately. LLM keeps interface and consumer vocabulary together because adapters are the implementations. Filesystem adds policy gates around provider primitives. Web is one service with search and fetch provider registries, so provider swaps do not rename model tools. Skills and subagents use named provider registries; local skills scan project/user roots, and other providers can add embedded or remote catalogs without registry/tool changes. Subagents spawn fresh, fork from the parent's completed-turn prefix, or use ACP children ([subagent.md](core-data-structures/subagent.md)).

A deployment is a thin `cordis.yml` leaf: swappable backends, one app entry, and optional product tools ([examples/](../examples/AGENTS.md), [runnable wirings](cookbook/extension-cookbook.md#runnable-wirings), [graph atlas](graph-atlas.md)).

+Abstract spill storage service. Subclass, implement saveText, and load the subclass as a plugin — it registers as `ctx.spillStore` (one implementation per context; loading a second throws, cordis' standard duplicate-service behavior).
+
+Semantics every implementation must honor:
+
+- saveText persists the FULL `content` verbatim and returns an opaque locator, exact byte length, and model-facing retrieval guidance.
+- Storage is scoped by the request's SaveTextSpill.owner session; the backend chooses a private (not world-readable) location and a collision-free name derived from — never equal to — the caller's `suggestedName`.
+- `saveText` REJECTS on a real storage failure (permissions, ENOSPC, backend unavailable); the caller decides how to degrade (the spill policy treats a rejection as best-effort and keeps the inline result).

Consumers route on the code, never provider text.
 - **Every provider HTTP request carries the app-attribution header.** Adapters send `attributionHeaders()` (below) - the `User-Agent` baseline - and prove it with a wire-level test (mock server asserting the received header, or the library's header hook for a library-backed adapter).
+- **Replay state is adapter-owned.** A successful `finish` may carry lossless-JSON state needed to reconstruct a native provider response. The loop stores it with the assembled assistant message unless an `agent/step-result` listener rewrote the content. On a later request, `LlmService` passes the state only when the historical provider and target provider are currently registered to the exact same adapter instance. That adapter validates the state and owns any cross-model or cross-provider conversion; other adapters receive the provider-neutral content and provenance without the private state.

It does **not** truncate — a single turn can be huge in a long-horizon task (many steps, large tool output), and those events were durably appended before the crash.

+# Spill Storage
+
+The spill storage seam — a [capability seam](../rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-08-tool-output-spill-files.md) that persists a tool's oversized text and returns a model-facing locator plus retrieval guidance, split across packages: interface ([dsh-spill](../../packages/spill/spill), `ctx.spillStore`), implementation ([dsh-spill-local](../../packages/spill/spill-local), private session-scoped files on the host filesystem), and consumer ([dsh-spill-policy](../../packages/spill/spill-policy), the `tools/post-execute` policy). Spill is **one optional capability**, not part of the agent-loop spine — so its vocabulary lives here, not in [core.md](core.md). Preview mechanics stay in [dsh-retention](../../packages/util/retention); this seam only saves the final text the policy hands it.
+
+Source: [`packages/spill/spill/src/types.ts`](../../packages/spill/spill/src/types.ts)
+
+## The save request
+
+`saveText` is the whole seam: persist `content` verbatim, return an opaque locator, a backend-supplied retrieval hint, and the exact byte count. The request carries the save-time storage namespace (`owner`), WHERE it came from (`source`, descriptive provenance for naming and inspection — not access control), and a `suggestedName` the backend may use as a naming hint (it is not a path).
+
+```ts type-equiv
+interface SaveTextSpill {
+  owner: SpillOwner
+  source: SpillSource
+  suggestedName: string
+  content: string
+}
+```
+
+```ts type-equiv
+interface SpillOwner {
+  sessionId: SessionId
+}
+```
+
+`SpillOwner.sessionId` is the save-time storage namespace. Forked sessions inherit existing spill locators from the seeded log; those artifacts are not copied or re-owned, and spills produced after the fork use the child session id. A retention-period cleanup may expire old locators with other old session artifacts; the spill seam does not define a per-session cleanup policy.
+
+```ts type-equiv
+interface SpillSource {
+  toolName: string
+  callId: CallId
+  label: string
+}
+```
+
+## The result
+
+```ts type-equiv
+interface SpillRef {
+  locator: SpillLocator
+  bytes: number
+  retrievalHint: string
+}
+```
+
+`SpillLocator` is a [branded](core.md#branded-ids) model-facing handle returned by the backend. The local backend renders it as a filesystem path; a remote or database backend can render a URI, key, or command token. Consumers treat it as opaque and render it with `retrievalHint` instead of assuming `read` is always the right retrieval mechanism.
+
+```ts type-equiv
+type SpillLocator = Branded<'SpillLocator'>
+```
+
+## The service
+
+`SpillStore` (`ctx.spillStore`, defined in [`packages/spill/spill/src/index.ts`](../../packages/spill/spill/src/index.ts)) is a one-method abstract service: `saveText(input) → Promise<SpillRef>`. It persists the FULL `content` and REJECTS on a real storage failure (permissions, ENOSPC, backend unavailable). The seam owns storage only: no retention policy, no tool-result replacement, no retrieval/search API.
+
+The local backend ([dsh-spill-local](../../packages/spill/spill-local)) writes under `<root>/session-<hash>/<random>-<safeName>` — a configured or lazily-created private (0700) root, a `sha256(sessionId)` session subdir, and an exclusive owner-only (`open(path, 'wx', 0o600)`) write so a planted symlink cannot redirect it. Its `locator` is the local path and its `retrievalHint` tells the model to use `read` or `grep` on that path. The policy consumer ([dsh-spill-policy](../../packages/spill/spill-policy)) replaces an over-`maxInlineBytes` plain-text final result with a retention-library head/tail preview plus the spill reference, best-effort: a save failure keeps the original inline result rather than turning a successful call into an `isError`.

It complements [session.md](core-data-structures/session.md) (the `SessionEvent` envelope, surface list, and `deriveMessages()` projection), [persistence.md](core-data-structures/persistence.md) (how the log is made durable), and the [cordis events catalog](cordis-catalog/events.md) (the live bus wiring — a log event is NOT a cordis event; it reaches listeners via the single `session/event` emit).

+This file is GENERATED from source (`scripts/gen-persistence-catalog.ts`) and verified fresh by `pnpm run verify-persistence-catalog` (part of `doc-sync`) — do not edit it by hand.

-The on-disk envelope around every payload is `SessionEvent` — `type`, monotonic `seq`, epoch-ms `time`, the `data` documented here, plus `surfaceOp`/`sourceEventSeqs` on **surface** events only ([envelope](core-data-structures/session.md#sessioneventt--one-log-entry)). **surface** marks a `SurfaceEventType` member: it produces an LLM message and declares how it joins the surface list. **log-only** marks everything else: durable, replayable record with no derived-history contribution. Every payload is JSON-serializable (enforced at `Session.append`), and the whole format is pinned at `SESSION_FORMAT_VERSION = 0` — pre-release, no compatibility implied ([the version stance](core-data-structures/persistence.md)). Scope: the packages in this repo; a downstream plugin can merge further event types, which are outside this catalog by construction.

 - **Append-only; a crashed turn is closed, never truncated.** Events through a flushed `turn/end` are never rewritten, and the loop flushes only at turn end. Because one interrupted turn may contain substantial valid work, `load` preserves its contiguous, parseable events and appends error results for unanswered tool calls, a missing `step/end`, and `turn/end` with `{ kind: 'interrupted' }`. The synthetic results keep resumed provider transcripts valid. Only an incomplete final record is discarded; a parse error or sequence gap at or before the last real `turn/end` is corruption and makes the session unloadable.
 - **File backend canonical, DB backend a proven drop-in.** `SessionEvent` maps 1:1 onto a row `(session_id, seq, type, time, data)` — `append` is INSERT (in a transaction asserting the contiguous-seq contract), `load` is SELECT … ORDER BY seq. `dsh-session-persistence-sqlite` is exactly this: a `SessionPersistence` subclass with no interface change (opencode runs this exact shape on SQLite/WAL), and it passes the same `runPersistenceContract` suite as the JSONL backend — so the contract holds both backends to identical semantics (lazy materialization, interrupted-turn close on load, contiguous-seq), expressed once over file bytes and once over rows.
 - **Metadata is out-of-log.** Format version, cwd, and lineage are storage concerns, not replayable conversation state, so they live in a `SessionHeader` owned by `dsh-session` and attached to a `Session` via a new readonly `session.header` — never in `SessionEventMap`, never reaching `deriveMessages()`. The alternative (a merge-extensible `session/meta` event as log line 0) was rejected: an in-log event would ride along with a seeded/forked session for free, but metadata is not replayable state, so the explicit out-of-log header seam is the cleaner cost. (The header was originally split into an immutable `SessionHeader` plus a mutable `SessionSummary` whose union was `SessionMeta`; the mutable summary was later removed as dead state — see [Drop the mutable session summary](../simplification/2026-06-19-drop-mutable-session-summary.md).)
-- **`ctx.agents.create()` and `ctx.agents.resume()` are async factories; resume additionally crosses the persistence boundary.** `ctx.agents.resume({ resumeSessionId })` awaits `ctx.sessionPersistence.load`, recreates the live session with the loaded events (so `lastTurnNumber`/`deriveMessages` continue), and starts a fresh agent on the resumed id (NOT `${agentId}-session`).

 ### 1. Queue-aware `Agent.cancel(reason?)`
 
-`cancel()` is the single public stop primitive. It clears queued and steering input, aborts an in-flight step, and arms a turn-scoped marker checked at each turn boundary. A queued prompt therefore cannot start after cancellation or absorb later input. `whenIdle()` waits for post-cancel quiescence, and ACP `session/cancel` maps to this method. An idle cancel does not arm the marker.
+A new `cancel()` verb on the `Agent` interface — the single public stop primitive. (It originally shipped alongside a narrower step-only `abort()`; that verb was later removed as unused, leaving `cancel()` the only public way to stop work.) It clears the inbox's queued + steering FIFOs, aborts the in-flight step if any, and drives a **turn-scoped cancellation marker** the driver loop checks at every turn-decision point — so a prompt that is queued-but-not-yet-started never runs, a cancel landing in the pre-step / continuation window drops the about-to-run turn (ending it `aborted`), and a later prompt cannot be batched into the cancelled turn. `whenIdle()` reaches post-cancel quiescence. ACP `session/cancel` maps to `cancel()`. The marker is armed ONLY when there is something to cancel, so an idle no-op cancel cannot strand the next prompt.
 
 ### 2. `AgentHandle` async disposer
 
-`ctx.agents.create`/`resume` and `AgentFactory` return `AgentHandle = { agent, dispose() }`. Disposal is a consumer capability; an observer holding only `Agent` cannot tear it down. The caller fiber and factory provider also own the instance, and every path shares one memoized teardown: stop the loop, await quiescence and flushes, detach the agent and session, then unwind its scope. IDs become reusable when their registry entries detach. Config-created agents belong to the loop fiber; ACP stores and disposes each session handle.
+`ctx.agents.create`/`resume` (and the `AgentFactory` interface) return `AgentHandle = { agent: Agent; dispose(): Promise<void> }`. The disposer is a **consumer capability** — a registry observer holding only the bare `Agent` cannot tear it down. The caller fiber and registered factory provider are structural co-owners: caller unload enforces structured ownership, while provider unload must stop old instances whose scoped dependency surface resolves through that provider. All three paths reach the same memoized teardown: stop the loop, await its exit and idle flushes (true quiescence, not just the `disposed` status flip), detach the agent, detach its session, and unwind its scope. Each public ID becomes reusable when its exact registry entry detaches; there is no separate reservation-release phase. Config-created agents are already owned by the `AgentLoop` fiber (the handle is discarded). ACP holds each session's disposer in its `SessionRecord` and runs it on disconnect/teardown, so a bare client disconnect leaves no registered agent and no session-store entry — even when `session/load` races teardown (the just-resumed handle is disposed before the closed-guard throw).
 
-Teardown order is load-bearing for durability. The session lifecycle and loop share one composite Cordis effect so LIFO disposal stops the loop and awaits `agent.done` before detaching the session. Sibling effects would dispose concurrently and could remove append hooks before the closing flush. Disposal notifications are contained so they cannot interrupt the chain.
+**Teardown ORDER is load-bearing for durability**, and the implementation folds the session lifecycle into the agent's SINGLE composite cordis effect (`SessionStore.prepare`/`enter`/`announce`, replacing a sibling-effect split). A fiber unload disposes sibling effects concurrently (`Promise.all`), which would race removing the session store's append publication hooks against the loop's closing `session/flush` and drop the closing `turn/end`; inside one effect the disposers run as an ordered LIFO chain (loop stopped + `await agent.done` BEFORE the session detaches), so the loop's final flush is captured on BOTH the handle's `dispose()` and a fiber unload. The contained `agent/disposed` and `session/disposed` notifications cannot reject the chain or skip later teardown.
 
 ### 3. Bash owner token in the seam
 
-Background task ownership belongs to the executor. `BashExecSpec.owner` carries an optional opaque token, `ownerOf(id)` reads it, and `dsh-tool-bash` stamps the calling session token at start. `bash_output` and `bash_kill` reject mismatched callers; completion notices locate the live agent by session token through the registry. Keeping ownership on the task preserves the fence across tool-plugin reloads. The completion listener remains effect-scoped, so a notice that settles during the reload gap may still be dropped.
+Background-task ownership moved from a `tool-bash` plugin-local `Map<string, Agent>` into the executor. `BashExecRequest` gains an optional `owner?: string`; the resolved `BashExecSpec` carries it as required-but-nullable `owner: string | undefined` (a forgotten owner is a visible `undefined`, never a silently-absent property). The executor stores the token on its task and exposes it via a new `BashExecutor.ownerOf(id): string | undefined` seam (NOT on the public `BashTask` — one read path, no redundant API). `tool-bash` deletes its `Map` entirely: it stamps `exec.agent?.id` (the shared registry/session id) as the owner at `start`, and `bash_output`/`bash_kill` compare `ctx.bash.ownerOf(id)` to the caller's token with `!== undefined` semantics (an empty-string token is still a real owner). The completion notice finds the live agent by scanning `ctx.get('agents')?.list()` for `agent.id === ownerToken` (read via `ctx.get` — `onTaskDone` runs on the bash fiber, a foreign fiber, where the `ctx.agents` proxy would throw). Because ownership now lives on the task in the executor (disposed with the `dsh-bash` fiber), it SURVIVES a `tool-bash` HMR reload — closing the old `XXX(tool-bash-owner-hmr)` gap. (The `onTaskDone` listener is still effect-scoped to `tool-bash`'s `apply`, so a completion landing during the reload gap still drops its one notice — the pre-existing reload-gap drop — but the ownership fence itself is HMR-proof.)
 
 ## Verification
 
-- ACP disconnect or session close leaves no registered agent or session-store entry, including when `session/load` races teardown.
-- Cancelling before a queued prompt starts prevents that prompt from running or absorbing the next prompt.
-- Reloading `dsh-tool-bash` does not let another session read or kill an existing background task because ownership remains on the executor.
-- Config-created agents remain loop-fiber-owned, so non-ACP demos need not manage handles explicitly.
+These invariants hold and are pinned by tests:
+
+- ACP disconnect/session close leaves no registered agent AND no session-store entry for that session, even when `session/load` races teardown.
+- `session/cancel` before a queued prompt starts prevents that prompt from running and cannot batch the next prompt into the cancelled turn.
+- A `tool-bash` HMR reload does NOT make an existing background task readable or killable by a different session (ownership survives on the executor).
+- Existing non-ACP demos still work without managing handles explicitly; config-created agents remain owned by the `AgentLoop` plugin fiber.
 
 ## Session owner tokens are unique among live agents
 
-The bash owner token relies on `session.header.id` being unique among live agents. Concurrent same-ID operations may prepare privately, but `SessionStore.enter()` rejects duplicate publication and the losing transaction rolls back. `tool-bash` owns the comparison policy; the bash seam stores an opaque `owner` string without interpreting it.
+The bash owner-token comparison relies on the shared `Agent.id`/`SessionId` being unique among live agents. Concurrent same-ID operations may both prepare privately, but publication enters the session and agent in order; `SessionStore.enter()` rejects a duplicate live session id, and every losing transaction rolls its private state back. A programmatic caller therefore cannot publish two live agents with one session token. The access *policy* (token comparison) stays in `tool-bash` (the consumer); the bash seam stores only an opaque `owner` string and never interprets it — the correct interface/implementation/consumer split.

 Composition, not inheritance. The coordinator is a concrete class the backend holds, not a base class the backend extends. The RFC's risk — "a coordinator must not make unusual backends fight an inheritance hierarchy" — is avoided: a backend exposes only the hooks; it cannot reach the coordinator's private orchestration state, and the public `SessionPersistence` service shape is unchanged, so a third-party backend MAY still implement the abstract service directly without the coordinator at all.
 
+The coordinator retires each live session from its `session/disposed` notification: it waits for that exact Session object's initialization, serializes a final drain, and then removes the owned state, buffer, and init entries. Failed drains retain their buffers for backend teardown to retry. Settled per-id chain tails remove themselves only when they are still the current tail, so a completion cannot erase a newer operation for the same id. Backend teardown unregisters the write-path listeners before awaiting all admitted retirements, remaining buffers, and chains, then closes the backend.

Two gaps let a structurally-identical-but-semantically-wrong string slip through the type checker today.

The model also returns this value through `task_id`, so confusing task and session ids was both type-correct and reachable.
+**Gap 1 — unbranded cross-boundary IDs in the bash seam.** The background-task id is a plain `string`: `BashTask.id: string` (`packages/bash/bash/src/types.ts`), carried as `string` through the whole executor seam (`BashExecutor.get`/`ownerOf`/`readOutput`/`kill(id: string)` in `packages/bash/bash/src/index.ts`) and validated/passed as `string` by the model-facing tools (`validateTaskId`, `assertTaskAccess`, the `task_id` schema arg in `packages/bash/tool-bash/src/index.ts`). It is generated by a per-executor counter — `` `bash-${this.nextTaskId++}` `` in `packages/bash/bash-local/src/index.ts` — which gives it **exactly the same `name-N` shape as `SessionId`'s default** (`` `session-${++counter}` `` in `packages/core/session/src/index.ts`). A bash task id and a session id are trivially swappable at a call site and the compiler says nothing. This is the headline case the user asked about, and it is a model-facing id (the model passes `task_id` back to `bash_output`/`bash_kill`), so a confusion here is reachable from untrusted input.
 
-The bash **owner token** is the related sub-case: `BashExecRequest.owner?: string` and `BashExecSpec.owner: string | undefined` (`packages/bash/bash/src/types.ts`) are documented as a deliberately *opaque* isolation key, but in every live caller the value IS the owning agent's `session.header.id` (`callerToken = (exec) => exec.agent?.session.header.id` in `packages/bash/tool-bash/src/index.ts`) — i.e. a `SessionId` wearing a `string` disguise. It is compared for access control (`owner !== callerToken(exec)`), so a mismatched-but-well-typed string here is a cross-session isolation bug the type system currently cannot catch.

The brand primitive lives in the dependency-free `dsh-brand` utility package precisely so `dsh-bash` can brand its ids by depending on it alone — it never pulls in `dsh-llm` (or `dsh-session`) just to reach `Branded`. Thread it through `BashTask.id`, the `BashExecutor` seam methods (`get`/`ownerOf`/`readOutput`/`kill`), the generation site in `dsh-bash-local` (brand the counter output once, at creation), and the `dsh-tool-bash` validate/access surface (`validateTaskId` returns a `BashTaskId`; `task_id` is branded at the tool boundary where the model's string arrives).

-- **Mint a distinct `OwnerToken` brand.** Add `OwnerToken = Branded<'OwnerToken'>` in `packages/bash/bash/src/types.ts`; type `BashExecRequest.owner` / `BashExecSpec.owner` / `BashExecutor.ownerOf` as `OwnerToken | undefined`.

 ### Why not typing `owner` as `SessionId`?
 
-The executor treats ownership as opaque and must not depend on the session model. A distinct `OwnerToken` preserves that boundary while preventing raw strings or task ids from being passed as owners. `dsh-tool-bash`, which owns the access policy, performs the single conversion from `SessionId`.
+The obvious shortcut is to type `owner` as `SessionId` directly — it always *is* one. We reject that. The bash executor seam is a capability seam (interface `dsh-bash`, implementation `dsh-bash-local`, consumer `dsh-tool-bash`) and its owner token is *documented as deliberately opaque*: the executor "never interprets it (no access policy lives in the seam — that is the consumer's job)" (`packages/bash/bash/src/types.ts`). Typing the seam's field as `SessionId` would import `dsh-session`'s vocabulary into a package that must not know what an owner token *means* — it would couple a generic execution backend to the session model and contradict the opaque-token design. A sandboxed or remote executor that replaces `dsh-bash-local` should not inherit a session dependency. The distinct `OwnerToken` brand keeps the seam decoupled: `dsh-bash` knows only "an owner is some opaque branded token," and the `dsh-tool-bash` consumer — which already decides the access policy — is the single boundary that casts its `SessionId` into an `OwnerToken`. The brand still delivers the safety win (you cannot pass a `BashTaskId` or a raw string where an owner is expected) without the coupling.

 ## Consequences
 
-- **Mechanical churn across two surfaces.** Propagating brands touches the bash seam (interface + impl + consumer) and the ACP session-id surface plus the persistence coordinator. The churn is broad but low-severity: a missed site is a compile error, not a silent bug. The change is observably type-only — no snapshot or e2e behavioral diff. It sits next to the [unify-the-agent-id-and-the-session-id](../../proposed/simplification/2026-06-20-unify-agent-and-session-id.md) proposal (both touch the session-id / owner-token boundary); if that proposal lands, `OwnerToken` still stays distinct from the unified id for the decoupling reason above.

 - **Brands do not validate.** A brand is a confusability guard, not a correctness proof: a *wrong* session id that is still a well-formed string passes the type checker exactly as before. This RFC does not close that gap (see Out of scope) — it only stops the *category* error of passing the wrong *kind* of id.
 - **The "where to stop" line stays a judgment call.** Branding `BashTaskId` but not `ToolName`, `OwnerToken` but not `ModelId`, is a taste call about which strings "could plausibly be confused." Reasonable reviewers may want more or fewer; the policy in `brand.ts` is the tie-breaker, and this RFC errs toward the ids that are model-facing or used for access control.

 ### The principle

The checkable consequence: **every conversation request the loop sends is a pure function of the session log** — anyone holding the log reconstructs it byte-for-byte.

 Prefix-cache stability is corollary #1, not the headline: an append-only log projected by a per-node pure function yields requests that are append-extensions of their predecessors whenever the header is unchanged — stability is emergent, not managed. Byte-exact audit/replay is corollary #2; resume and fork with *attributable* drift is corollary #3.
 
 ### The mechanism
 
-**Messages.** `Session.deriveMessages()` is cached: each surface node is projected exactly once, when first seen, through the public per-node function `deriveEventMessage(event)`; a surface rewrite (a compaction `replace` — `SurfaceManager.replaceGeneration`) rebuilds. Callers get a fresh array per call over shared, deep-frozen messages: mutating logged history through a projection is unrepresentable (it throws), replacing the old clone-per-call isolation. External reconstructors fold the same public function over a log prefix, so no two paths can disagree.

-`EpochHeader` records the request's non-history state: call config, rendered system prompt, tool schemas, and session prefix, with empty values canonicalized to absence. `request/header` writes a full initial, resume, or fallback snapshot. `request/header-delta` encodes system changes by common-prefix/suffix line trim, tools by name-keyed additions/removals/changes, and config or prefix by full replacement. `foldRequestHeader`, `diffHeader`, and `applyHeaderDelta` are the pure codec. Each loop instance writes a snapshot on its first request to anchor process boundaries. Deltas are only an optimization: the writer verifies round-trip equality and falls back to a full snapshot for unrepresentable changes such as pure tool reordering.
+`EpochHeader` records the request's non-history state: call config, rendered system prompt, tool schemas, and session prefix, with empty values canonicalized to absence. `request/header` always writes a full snapshot: the first loop instance uses reason `initial`, later instances use `resume`, and an in-instance change uses `change`. `foldRequestHeader` selects the latest snapshot. Legacy `request/header-delta` events and the removed `fallback` reason are rejected when appended or loaded.
 
 Each step rebuilds prompt assembly. On the instance's first step, `agent/session-prefix` extends a frozen empty seed with request-only opener messages; the result is frozen and cached for that loop instance before the generic `agent/pre-step` checkpoint and boundary snapshot. The first call config starts from explicit `AgentOptions`, preserving fork overrides and resume reconfiguration; later calls start from the folded header. `agent/request` may replace only that frozen config seed, while model-visible content enters through logged channels. The loop records the owed header event—the prefix's only durable home—builds `GenerateOptions` from prefix, snapshot, and header, and deep-freezes it while leaving `AbortSignal` live. Per-instance state is only the cached prefix and whether its anchoring snapshot has been written.
 
-**`step/start` is the reconstruction boundary.** A step derives messages from events before that sequence. Injection after the snapshot joins the next request, and reentrant appends are rejected during event publication. `agent/pre-step(agent, turn, step, signal)` remains the generic seam for content needed by the current request. Header reconstruction folds through the step's own `request/header*` event, or carries the prior fold when no new header is written.

Header reconstruction selects the step's `request/header`, or carries the prior snapshot when no new header is written.
 
 **Enforcement.** In development, `dsh-invariants` independently rebuilds each loop request through a fresh `Session`, so the live cache cannot vouch for itself, then compares messages and folded header fields at `llm/stream`. Loop requests are identified by their frozen shape and session id; direct one-shots are excluded. Correctness depends on sequence-bounded reconstruction rather than listener order. A with-key e2e requires positive cache-read tokens after the first request; per-step usage is the production signal, and a header change or compaction appears as a cache-read drop on the next step.

Route session-frozen openers to the prefix and change notices to the history channels; a per-step request-only tail slot was deliberately dropped (no consumer, and a durable append covers every current update pattern).
-- What still costs full price at the provider is inherent and logged: compaction (its `compact/*` events and replace node), a real prompt/tool change (`request/header-delta`), a config switch (ditto), a process boundary with drift (`'resume'` snapshot differing from its predecessor). The provider's own reasoning-content exclusion is managed server-side.

 Resolving the provider at the tool plugin's `apply` time creates an implicit load-order requirement ("list the backend before the tool in cordis.yml"). That requirement fails because the Cordis Loader starts sibling entries concurrently and `Entry.init()` does not await activation: a delayed backend can leave the tool fiber failed even when listed first. The Loader offers no sibling-order guarantee — "async state is not synchronous state" ([defensive patterns](../../../defensive-patterns.md)).

+# RFC: Tool result retention library
+
+Status: implemented
+
+## Problem
+
+Several model-facing tools already bound the amount of context they return, but each one owns a different local mechanism and vocabulary: bash keeps a tail plus spill files, web search caps source lists, web fetch caps body content, and `glob` / `grep` discovery needs an inline first page while keeping exact omission metadata for the full result set. A single `truncate(text)` helper cannot cover those cases: item tools need item counts and grouping outside the primitive, while text tools need byte budgets and UTF-8-safe head/tail cuts.
+
+The shared abstraction the tools need is **retention**, not generic collection. A caller feeds items or text chunks into a bounded object and later receives the retained content plus exact omission metadata. Tool-specific code still owns business semantics: file grouping, line numbering, exit codes, provider error states, spill files, and model-facing prose. The common library owns only the mechanical question "what did we keep, and what did we omit?"
+
+## Decision
+
+`@deepseek-ai/dsh-retention` lives under `packages/util/` (peer to `dsh-brand` and `dsh-timeout`) and owns bounded model-facing output. It is a library of pure classes and functions, **not** a Cordis service or plugin: it takes no `ctx`, registers nothing, holds no cross-call state, and emits no events. Tool packages import it directly when they need bounded output.
+
+The library has two independent retainers:
+
+- `ItemRetainer<T>` handles ordered logical units such as paths, grep matches, or search sources. It supports `head` retention only in v1, while keeping the retainer shape open to additional retention strategies later.
+- `TextRetainer` handles byte-oriented text streams such as bash stdout/stderr or web response bodies. It supports `head`, `tail`, and `headTail` retention while preserving UTF-8 boundaries at `finish()`.
+
+Both retainers return a small `PushDecision` after each `push()` so callers can tell whether that unit/chunk was fully retained and whether the accumulated result is now truncated. Omission counts are exact because callers keep feeding every observed item/chunk.
+
+```ts ignore-check
+/**
+ * How much content the retainer omitted.
+ *
+ * `unknown` is reserved for callers that omit without a count; the retainers
+ * themselves return `none` or `exact`.
+ */
+type Omitted =
+  | { kind: 'none' }
+  | { kind: 'exact'; count: number }
+  | { kind: 'unknown' }
+
+interface PushDecision {
+  kept: boolean
+  truncated: boolean
+}
+
+/**
+ * Final result for ordered logical units.
+ */
+interface RetainedItems<T> {
+  items: T[]
+  truncated: boolean
+  seen: number
+  kept: number
+  omitted: Omitted
+}
+
+/**
+ * Final result for text streams.
+ *
+ * The returned `text` is safe to send to a formatter; the retainer does not add
+ * tool-specific headers, exit markers, XML tags, or recovery instructions.
+ */
+interface RetainedText {
+  text: string
+  truncated: boolean
+  omittedBytes: Omitted
+}
+```
+
+### Strategies
+
+Item retention supports a head window. Text retention supports head, tail, and headTail byte windows.
+
+```ts ignore-check
+type ItemRetentionStrategy =
+  | {
+      /** Keep the first `maxItems` units. Use for `glob`, `grep`, and web sources. */
+      kind: 'head'
+      maxItems: number
+    }
+
+type TextRetentionStrategy =
+  | {
+      /** Keep the first `maxBytes` bytes. */
+      kind: 'head'
+      maxBytes: number
+    }
+  | {
+      /** Keep the final `maxBytes` bytes. Requires reading to the end. */
+      kind: 'tail'
+      maxBytes: number
+    }
+  | {
+      /** Keep a stable prefix and suffix, omitting the middle. Requires reading to the end. */
+      kind: 'headTail'
+      headBytes: number
+      tailBytes: number
+    }
+```
+
+### Tool mapping
+
+`read` is intentionally outside the v1 retention library. Its `read-render` helper owns a file-specific pagination contract: `offset` / `limit`, line numbers, `totalLines`, offset-out-of-range errors, per-line preview truncation, and a selected-output byte cap that can stop scanning mid-window. That is a line-window renderer, not a generic retention primitive. It may share future neutral notice helpers, but it should not pass its already-selected window through `ItemRetainer`.
+
+`FsGlobEntry` and `FlatGrepMatch` below are the intended discovery-tool item shapes, not existing retention-library exports. `FsGlobEntry` is one backend-derived path, and `FlatGrepMatch` is one ungrouped grep match before the backend groups retained matches by file.
+
+`glob` uses `ItemRetainer<FsGlobEntry>` with `{ kind: 'head', maxItems: globMaxResults }` after collecting the full sorted path list. The tool keeps the retained first page inline and may save the full list through the spill seam. Path mapping, skipped candidates, and `incomplete` stay outside the retainer.
+
+`grep` uses `ItemRetainer<FlatGrepMatch>` with `{ kind: 'head', maxItems: grepMaxMatches }` before grouping. The executor parses ripgrep output, maps paths, applies per-line preview truncation, and pushes flat matches. After `finish()`, the tool groups retained matches by file and can save the full match list through the spill seam when the inline result is capped. Grouping is not part of the retainer because the cap is total matches, not files; per-match preview truncation and `incomplete` are also separate from result-level retention.
+
+`bash` can use `TextRetainer` with `tail` or `headTail` and reads to process completion. The bash executor still owns spill files, exit status, signal, timeout, and background-task behavior; the retention helper only replaces ad hoc in-memory head/tail accounting where that behavior is desired. Long-running task ownership remains orthogonal to the [generic long-running tool runtime](2026-06-20-generic-long-running-tool-runtime.md).
+
+`web_fetch` can use `TextRetainer` with `head` or `headTail`, or keep provider-owned body caps when the provider must read and decode internally. Either way, the fetch result's `truncated` remains a provider/tool fact, and the library only supplies retained text and omission metadata.
+
+`web_search` can use `ItemRetainer<WebSearchSource>` with `head`. Current providers often return an array, so this is post-hoc but still standardizes notices.
+
+### Notices
+
+The library exposes a neutral notice shape and a tiny formatter hook, but tools provide the user-facing words. A grep footer says "Narrow the pattern, path, or include"; a web fetch footer says "Fetch a more specific URL or section"; bash may point to a spill file. The retainer cannot know those recovery actions.
+
+```ts ignore-check
+interface RetentionNotice {
+  scope: string
+  strategy: 'head' | 'tail' | 'headTail'
+  unit: 'items' | 'bytes' | 'chars' | 'lines'
+  limit: number | { head: number; tail: number }
+  kept: number
+  omitted: Omitted
+}
+
+const formatGrepNotice = (notice: RetentionNotice): string =>
+  formatRetentionNotice(
+    notice,
+    ({ kept }) => `Results capped at ${kept}. Narrow the pattern, path, or include to see more.`,
+  )
+```
+
+The formatter hook is deliberately small: a tool turns a `RetentionNotice` into its own footer text. The helper may standardize omission wording, but it does not own recovery guidance.
+
+`truncated` means the retainer omitted otherwise-available content because of a budget. It does not mean the upstream was incomplete. Tools keep separate fields for permission failures, skipped binary files, provider partial failures, unreadable candidates, invalid UTF-8, and any other "could not inspect" condition.
+
+## Consequences
+
+**What shipped.** `@deepseek-ai/dsh-retention` exports `ItemRetainer`, `TextRetainer`, the result types (`RetainedItems`, `RetainedText`), the strategy types (`ItemRetentionStrategy`, `TextRetentionStrategy`), `Omitted`, `PushDecision`, `RetentionNotice`, and the neutral notice helpers `describeOmitted` / `formatRetentionNotice` — with no dependency on Cordis or any tool package. Unit tests cover item-head retention with exact omission counts, text-head retention, text-tail retention, head-tail byte retention, zero budgets, UTF-8 boundary handling (2-, 3-, and 4-byte codepoints and invalid lead bytes at each cut), and unknown omission wording.
+
+**What is documented but not yet migrated.** `glob`, `grep`, `bash`, `web_fetch`, and `web_search` have their mappings documented in the [package README](../../../../packages/util/retention/README.md), but not every tool has been migrated onto the library in this change; migration is deliberately separate follow-up work. `read` is documented as intentionally out of scope: its `read-render` line-window contract (`offset`/`limit`, `totalLines`, offset-range errors, per-line preview truncation, a byte cap over the selected window) is not generic retention, and one `Omitted` count cannot represent both sides of a line window.
+
+**Boundaries the library holds.** `truncated` means the retainer omitted otherwise-available content because of a budget; it never means the upstream was incomplete. Tool-specific states — `incomplete`, permission failures, provider partial failures, binary skips, bash spill-path recovery, invalid UTF-8 — stay in tool-domain fields, outside the retainer. When a future change migrates a tool, that package's README and tests must prove the model-facing result text is unchanged except for deliberate notice wording.
+
+**Tradeoffs accepted.** The v1 surface deliberately supports only item `head` retention and text `head` / `tail` / `headTail`; windows, grouped budgets, sort-aware caps, and upstream-stop control wait until a second consumer proves the need. Text retention counts bytes for process/body safety, leaving character- and line-level preview budgets as separate tool-owned concerns.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Post-hoc `truncate(text)` only.** Rejected: it matches Codex's history/tool-output truncation use case but loses item counts, grouping boundaries, UTF-8-safe byte windows, and exact omission metadata.
+
+**One generic `Collector<T>` with pluggable callbacks.** Rejected for v1: it hides the two important resource modes. Logical item retention counts items; text retention counts bytes and preserves UTF-8 boundaries. Separate `ItemRetainer` and `TextRetainer` names make that difference explicit while keeping the API small.
+
+**Put `read` windowing behind `ItemRetainer`.** Rejected for v1: `read` is the only current window consumer, and its semantics are file pagination rather than generic retention. A single `Omitted` count cannot represent both sides of a line window, and `read` also carries `totalLines`, offset-range errors, per-line preview truncation, and a byte cap over selected output. Keeping `read-render` tool-owned avoids growing the shared library around one special case.
+
+**Make truncation part of `ToolExecutionResult`.** Rejected: the tool registry would have to understand tool-specific recovery guidance, grouping, line numbering, exit status, and provider semantics.

+# RFC: Tool output spill policy
+
+Status: implemented
+
+## Problem
+
+Tool outputs need bounded model-facing previews, but some oversized results are still useful later. A fetched page body or a verbose tool response should not consume the next model request in full, but the model should be able to inspect the complete formatted result later with existing file-reading tools.
+
+Before this change the behavior was uneven. `dsh-bash-local` already writes complete stdout/stderr streams to private temp spill files when its in-memory tail overflows, but ordinary text tool results were returned inline unless the tool hand-rolled its own cap. The [tool result retention library](./2026-07-06-tool-result-retention-library.md) owns preview mechanics, but it does not own storage or an execution-pipeline policy that applies those mechanics to final tool results.
+
+The shape matches the timeout policy design: a tool author normally returns the text result, and a policy plugin enforces the deployment's default context budget. Tool-specific early spill remains possible later for outputs that do not survive to the final `ToolExecutionResult`; the first cut proves the default final-result path.
+
+## Decision
+
+A thin spill storage seam plus a default spill policy plugin, in a new `packages/spill/` group:
+
+| Package | Role |
+|---|---|
+| `@deepseek-ai/dsh-spill` | Interface: `ctx.spillStore`, vocabulary types, no storage implementation. |
+| `@deepseek-ai/dsh-spill-local` | Local backend: private, session-scoped file storage on the host filesystem. |
+| `@deepseek-ai/dsh-spill-policy` | Tool-result policy plugin: wraps final text results after dispatch and replaces oversized results with a retained preview plus a spill locator. |
+
+There is no dedicated model-facing consumer package. The consumer is the existing `ctx.tools` execution pipeline: `dsh-spill-policy` consumes final tool results through the `tools/post-execute` waterfall, and the model follows the backend-supplied retrieval hint for the returned locator.
+
+### Spill seam
+
+The storage seam is minimal: save text and return a locator plus retrieval hint.
+
+```ts ignore-check
+interface SpillStore {
+  saveText(input: SaveTextSpill): Promise<SpillRef>
+}
+
+interface SpillSource {
+  toolName: string
+  callId: CallId
+  label: string
+}
+
+interface SaveTextSpill {
+  owner: { sessionId: SessionId }
+  source: SpillSource
+  suggestedName: string
+  content: string
+}
+
+type SpillLocator = Branded<'SpillLocator'>
+
+interface SpillRef {
+  locator: SpillLocator
+  bytes: number
+  retrievalHint: string
+}
+```
+
+`SpillLocator` is a [branded](../../../../packages/util/brand) model-facing handle returned by the backend. The local backend renders it as a filesystem path; a remote or database backend can render a URI, key, or command token. Consumers treat it as opaque and render it with `retrievalHint` instead of assuming `read` is always the right retrieval mechanism. `SpillOwner.sessionId` is the save-time storage namespace: forked sessions inherit existing spill locators from the seeded log without copying or re-owning them, and new spills after the fork use the child session id. A retention-period cleanup may expire old locators with other old session artifacts; the spill seam does not define a per-session cleanup policy.
+
+`dsh-spill-local` owns only storage details: session-scoped directory selection, safe names, path-traversal protection, the write, and returning `{ locator, bytes, retrievalHint }`. It does not own retention policy, tool-result replacement, search, or file inspection. Files land at `<root>/session-<hash>/<random>-<safeName>`, where `root` is a configured path or a lazily-created private (0700) per-process temp dir, the session subdir is a short `sha256(sessionId)` prefix, and the leaf is a random hex prefix plus the caller's `suggestedName` sanitized to one path segment (mirrors the JSONL backend's `encodeSegment`). The write is `open(path, 'wx', 0o600)` — exclusive and owner-only, so a planted symlink cannot redirect it. The locator is the path, and the retrieval hint tells the model it can use `read` or `grep` on that path.
+
+### Spill policy
+
+`dsh-spill-policy` is a `tools/post-execute` result transformer with one configuration knob:
+
+```ts ignore-check
+interface Config {
+  /** Omitted means no automatic spill policy. Present means apply to oversized plain text tool results. */
+  maxInlineBytes?: number
+}
+```
+
+When `maxInlineBytes` is omitted the plugin registers nothing (a true no-op). When set, it applies a default policy to final plain-text tool results:
+
+1. Let the tool run normally, delegating via `next()` so a downstream listener settles the result first.
+2. Flatten the accepted final `ContentBlock[]` only when it is entirely plain text; a result with any non-text block is left untouched.
+3. If its UTF-8 byte size is at or below `maxInlineBytes`, leave it unchanged.
+4. If it is larger, call `ctx.spillStore.saveText()` with the full final text.
+5. Replace the model-facing result with a retained head/tail preview plus the spill reference.
+
+The preview is an implementation default owned by the policy: a head/tail split of `maxInlineBytes` via the retention library's `TextRetainer`. Future config can expose preview sizing only after a second deployment needs it.
+
+The replacement text is intentionally generic because the policy only knows the final formatted tool result, not the tool's internal resource:
+
+```text
+<retained preview>
+
+(Omitted N bytes. Full formatted result stored at: /.../session-.../....txt. Use read with offset/limit, or grep this path to search within it.)
+```
+
+If `ctx.spillStore.saveText()` fails (permissions, ENOSPC, backend unavailable), or the call has no session owner, or no backend is loaded, the plugin logs the reason and returns the original result unchanged. Spill failure never turns a successful tool call into an `isError` result or hides the inline result.
+
+The policy skips `read` to avoid a circular `read -> spill file -> read again` loop. Additional opt-out configuration is deferred until a real second tool needs it.
+
+## Showcase: web_fetch
+
+`web_fetch` is the first showcase because it returns a naturally large text result and needs no tool-specific spill code. The tool is ordinary:
+
+```ts ignore-check
+ctx.tools.register(defineTool({
+  name: 'web_fetch',
+  async execute(args, exec) {
+    const result = await ctx.web.fetch({ url: args.url }, exec.signal ? { signal: exec.signal } : undefined)
+    return [{ type: 'text', text: formatFetchOutput(result) }]
+  },
+}))
+```
+
+With `dsh-spill-policy` configured, a large formatted fetch result is automatically retained and spilled. A deployment demonstrates the behavior by setting the provider resource cap higher than the policy cap:
+
+```yaml
+- id: web-fetch-local
+  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-web-fetch-local'
+  config:
+    maxBodyChars: 500000
+
+- id: spill-local
+  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-spill-local'
+
+- id: spill-policy
+  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-spill-policy'
+  config:
+    maxInlineBytes: 50000
+```
+
+This separation is important. `web-fetch-local` still owns resource caps (`maxResponseBytes`, `maxBodyChars`) to protect network, memory, and decoding work. `spill-policy` owns only the model-facing context cap after the result already exists. If the provider already returned `truncated: true`, the spill file contains the full formatted result the tool returned, not the full original webpage; the policy does not claim otherwise.
+
+## Relationship to retention and early spill
+
+Retention is separate from spill storage:
+
+- `@deepseek-ai/dsh-retention` owns preview mechanics (`TextRetainer`, `ItemRetainer`, and omitted metadata).
+- `@deepseek-ai/dsh-spill` owns saving final text and returning a locator plus retrieval hint.
+- `@deepseek-ai/dsh-spill-policy` applies the default final-result policy in the tool pipeline, composing the two.
+
+The final-result policy cannot replace tool-owned early spill. Some useful content is not present in final `ToolExecutionResult.content`:
+
+- `bash` final output is already a tail plus a temp spill path; the complete stdout/stderr streams live in executor files.
+- `subagent` final output is the child final answer, not the child rollout.
+- Future tools may produce runtime artifacts that are never represented by their final `ToolExecutionResult.content`.
+
+Those cases can consume `ctx.spillStore` directly in later work. They are not part of the first showcase.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- No new model-facing `artifact_read` or `artifact_search` tool in v1.
+- No per-tool retention configuration in v1.
+- No model-facing timeout/truncation arguments.
+- No migration of `read` output into spill files.
+- No replacement for provider/resource caps such as `web-fetch-local.maxBodyChars`.
+- No bash temp-file normalization or subagent rollout capture in the first cut.
+
+## Deferred
+
+- `saveFile()` / `linkOrCopy` for existing executor spill files, needed for bash normalization.
+- Tool-owned spill for subagent rollouts (`await run.result`, read in-process child session before `run.dispose()`, save JSONL).
+- Per-tool opt-out or per-tool policy declarations if the built-in `read` skip is insufficient.
+- Remote or database storage backends for ACP or remote environments where a local path is not meaningful.
+- Cleanup and retention policy for old spill files, likely tied to session cleanup.
+
+## Testing
+
+- `dsh-spill` unit tests pin the seam contract: registration as `ctx.spillStore`, one-implementation-per-context, and disposal release.
+- `dsh-spill-local` unit tests cover `saveText`, `encodeSegment` sanitization (separators/tilde/whole-segment dots/empty), the session-hash directory, owner-only permissions, distinct paths per save, the configured/private root, and a storage-failure rejection.
+- `dsh-spill-policy` unit tests drive real tools through `ctx.tools.execute`: disabled-mode no-op, oversized-text replacement, small/non-text passthrough, `read` skip, best-effort fallback (save failure / no backend / no owner), and downstream-composition (bounding a replaced result, preserving `additionalContexts`).
+- `dsh-tool-web` integration drives `web_fetch` through `ctx.tools.execute` with the real `spill-local` backend + policy, proving the model-facing text changes only by the deliberate spill notice while the spill file holds the full formatted result.
+- The `coding-agent` example loads `spill-local` + `spill-policy`, so its keyless Loader smoke exercises the real load path (the namespace-plugin export shape + `inject`).
+
+## Consequences
+
+The default policy only sees final formatted text. It cannot preserve provider-internal content that was already capped or runtime artifacts that were never part of the result. This is acceptable for the first cut because the showcase is final-result spill, not early spill; tool-owned early spill remains deferred work.
+
+Returning real paths from the local backend keeps v1 simple and matches proven agent-tool behavior, while the seam itself only promises an opaque locator plus retrieval hint so remote backends can return non-file locators.
+
+The local-backend value proposition depends on the existing `read`/`grep` tools being able to inspect the returned local path, even when the spill directory is outside the session cwd. That holds today because the filesystem policy records observations and write guards but does not confine reads to the workspace. A future workspace-confinement policy must either allow local spill paths explicitly or use a non-file spill backend whose retrieval hint points at a supported reader.
+
+**Snapshot gap.** No ACP snapshot scenario covers the transcript-visible `web_fetch` spill notice yet. The ACP snapshot harness replays keyless and cannot hit the live web, and a `web_fetch` spill requires a real over-cap HTTP body; a deterministic scenario would need a seeded loopback fetch target the replay tree does not currently wire (the examples do not load `tool-web` at all). The behavior is covered instead by the `dsh-tool-web` integration test against a loopback server. Closing the gap is follow-up work: wire `tool-web` + a seeded fetch target into the ACP example, then record a `web-fetch-spill` scenario.
+
+The policy can become too large if it starts owning tool-specific semantics. It stays narrow: plain-text final results only. Tool-owned early spill remains future work.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Require each tool to opt in with a retention declaration.** Rejected for v1: the goal is a default behavior similar to Claude Code's generic tool-result persistence. A single `maxInlineBytes` deployment knob is enough to prove the shape.
+
+**Make `tool-results` a broad tool-result platform.** Rejected: a broad package name invites retention policy, result replacement, preview wording, search, and early spill into one seam. The shared storage part is smaller: save text and return a locator plus retrieval hint.
+
+**Use `ctx.fs.writeText` or the model-facing `write` tool.** Rejected: workspace filesystem writes carry project-file semantics, write/edit policy, observation state, and user-facing side effects. Spill files are runtime artifacts, not model-authored workspace edits. The existing `read` tool may inspect them later, but creation belongs to the runtime spill seam.
+
+**Let `web-fetch-local` fetch without caps and rely on spill-policy.** Rejected: spill-policy runs after the final tool result exists and cannot protect network, memory, or decoding resources. Provider resource caps stay mandatory.
+
+**Merge retention into spill.** Rejected: retention and spill have different responsibilities. `TextRetainer`/`ItemRetainer` decide what preview is kept and what was omitted; spill storage only saves the final text the policy asks it to save.

 ## Problem
 
-Automatic compaction originally ran at `agent/pre-step` and received an assembled prompt and session prefix. That boundary was necessarily provisional: `agent/request` could still route another model or change call configuration, tool schemas were not frozen with the compaction inputs, and the next assistant output, tool results, buffered context, and steering did not exist yet. Expanding the pre-step signature could move the stale boundary but could not make it exact.
+`agent/pre-step` runs before final request routing and before assistant output, tool results, buffered context, and steering exist. Even with the assembled prompt and session prefix, its pressure view is provisional because `agent/request` can still change routing or call configuration and tool schemas are not frozen with those inputs. Adding fields cannot make pre-call state describe a completed call and couples the generic seam to compaction.
 
 Successful calls are not the only pressure signal. A provider can reject a request for exceeding its context window before it returns usage, and some successful calls omit usage. The system therefore needs replayable post-call pressure plus a narrow failure-recovery path that preserves the provider error whenever compaction cannot prove useful progress.

 ### CompactService exposes intent, not token accounting
 
 `CompactService.compactIfNeeded(agent, trigger, signal)` accepts `trigger: 'pressure' | 'context-overflow'`. The interface gains no estimation methods or token types; `ctx.tokenMeter` remains the reusable accounting owner.
 
-For `pressure`, compact-basic applies the service-wide threshold and retained-tail policy to one unified `ctx.tokenMeter.measure()` result. The same singleton meter owns range pricing, provenance, shadowed token counts, and non-shrinking-summary rejection. The common defaults remain threshold ratio `0.8`, retained history `floor(contextWindow × 0.16)`, summarization model `''`, `maxTokens: 8192`, `compactionRetries: 1`, and `auto: true`.

The common defaults remain threshold ratio `0.8`, retained history `floor(contextWindow × 0.16)`, summarization provider/model `''`, `maxTokens: 8192`, `compactionRetries: 1`, and `auto: true`.
 
 For canonical overflow, compact-basic bypasses scalar pressure and the normal retained-token budget. It chooses the maximal tool-balanced head range while leaving the newest indivisible unit, then attempts exactly one shrinking compaction under the same signal. The automatic listener snapshots `session.surface.replaceGeneration` and returns `{ action: 'retry' }` only when compaction succeeds and the generation increases. A backend returning a result without replacement cannot authorize retry.
 
 `maxOverflowRetries` is optional and defaults to `1`; `0` disables overflow recovery without disabling pressure. `auto: false` registers neither automatic listener. Noncanonical errors, exhausted attempts, an already-aborted signal, a missing routed model, no safe range, no generation change, and recovery throws all delegate to the next listener. With no later recovery, the loop reports the original provider error object and code. Cancellation or disposal remains authoritative even if recovery work completes concurrently.
 
-The default summarizer still resolves explicit configuration, then the latest logged route, then agent options. Because direct `llm/stream` middleware may reroute that auxiliary call, `compact/summary.model` records the final mutable `GenerateOptions.model` observed after dispatch rather than the pre-waterfall candidate.

+# RFC: Provider-routed LLM adapters and a generic pi-ai backend
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-14-provider-routed-llm-adapters.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+`dsh-llm` registered adapters by exact model name. A plugin supplied a model list at Cordis startup, `LlmService` stored one adapter per listed string, and `GenerateOptions.model` selected the adapter and the provider model at once. This worked while both shipping adapters targeted the same two DeepSeek models, but it conflated two independent decisions: which upstream provider owns a request, and which model that provider should run.
+
+The conflation prevents a provider gateway from serving an open-ended model catalog. OpenRouter, for example, is one provider with many model ids, while a private OpenAI-compatible endpoint may add models without changing the Harness plugin tree. Every newly selected model currently needs to have been registered during plugin startup. The same model id can also exist at multiple providers, so model-only registration cannot state which provider the caller intended.
+
+`dsh-llm-pi-ai` exposed none of pi-ai's provider abstraction. It constructed an inline DeepSeek `openai-completions` model, applied DeepSeek-specific payload patches, and stamped every replayed assistant message as DeepSeek. pi-ai itself has a provider/model catalog, selects APIs such as `openai-responses`, `anthropic-messages`, and `google-generative-ai`, and preserves provider-specific response ids and reasoning/tool signatures for later turns. The Harness conversion dropped that provenance, so simply replacing the inline model with a catalog lookup would have made same-model replay and cross-provider handoff incomplete.
+
+The adapter configuration also assumes one DeepSeek API key and endpoint. A generic backend needs independent credentials and endpoint overrides per provider while leaving AWS, Google ADC, OAuth, and other ambient authentication mechanisms to pi-ai.
+
+## Decision
+
+### Provider is the adapter registration key
+
+`GenerateOptions` and `LlmCallConfig` carry `provider: string` beside `model: string`; `AgentOptions` carries the corresponding optional creation field. A loop request is valid only after both values are non-empty, and both values are part of the logged request header. `agent/request` may return a replacement pair on any step, so a session can switch providers and models without changing the Cordis plugin lifecycle.
+
+`LlmService` registers and resolves adapters by provider. `registerAdapter(providers, adapter)` checks the entire provider list before mutating the registry, rejects a duplicate with `DUPLICATE_ADAPTER`, and disposes the whole registration as one effect. Model ids are not registration keys; the selected adapter still validates or forwards them. The later [LLM catalog and ACP selection RFC](2026-07-15-llm-model-catalog-and-acp-selection.md) added advisory `listProviders()` / `listModels()` discovery without turning model membership into request validation.
+
+A provider has exactly one adapter owner in a Cordis context. `dsh-llm-deepseek` registers `deepseek`; `dsh-llm-pi-ai` may also register `deepseek`, but loading both owners is a configuration error rather than an ordering rule or fallback. A deployment that wants the hand-rolled DeepSeek implementation excludes `deepseek` from the pi-ai profiles. A deployment that wants pi-ai's DeepSeek implementation does not mount `dsh-llm-deepseek`.
+
+`dsh-llm-deepseek` removes its model registration list and accepts any model string routed through provider `deepseek`. Its request serialization, `/chat/completions` endpoint, thinking options, SSE parsing, and error behavior remain unchanged; `options.model` is still sent verbatim.
+
+### Explicit pi-ai provider profiles
+
+`dsh-llm-pi-ai` takes one non-empty list of provider profiles. Provider names must be unique within the list and present in pi-ai's `getProviders()` result. Each profile contains the provider name plus optional `apiKey`, `baseURL`, headers, reasoning level and budgets, cache retention, transport, timeouts, and retry settings. Credentials are never global: an explicit key applies only to its profile, while an absent key lets pi-ai resolve its standard environment variable, OAuth token, AWS credential chain, Google ADC, or other provider-native ambient authentication. An explicitly empty key is invalid configuration rather than an environment fallback.
+
+The plugin registers all configured provider names against one `PiAiAdapter` in one all-or-nothing call. A request uses its provider to select the matching profile and finds its model in `getModels(provider)` to obtain the catalog descriptor. An unknown provider fails at plugin load; an unknown model fails before network I/O with `UNKNOWN_MODEL`. The catalog object is never mutated. When a profile supplies `baseURL`, the adapter clones the selected descriptor and overrides only `baseUrl`, so a private endpoint can retain pi-ai's API, capabilities, compatibility flags, context limits, and reasoning map. The private endpoint must implement the selected provider's protocol, and the model id must still exist in the installed pi-ai catalog.
+
+The adapter calls pi-ai's `streamSimple()` so each catalog model chooses its registered API implementation, including OpenAI Responses instead of Chat Completions where the descriptor says `openai-responses`. Harness temperature, maximum tokens, signal, session id, and the profile's common stream options flow through directly. Profile headers merge with the mandatory Harness attribution headers, with Harness attribution winning its reserved names. The adapter no longer maintains DeepSeek-specific payload rewrites or a provider-protocol matrix.
+
+pi-ai's common stream options do not expose stop sequences. `dsh-llm-pi-ai` rejects a defined Harness `stop` option with `UNSUPPORTED_OPTION` rather than silently ignoring it or growing a second provider-specific payload implementation. `dsh-llm-deepseek` continues to support `stop` through its native request serializer.
+
+### Durable assistant provenance and replay state
+
+Assistant messages carry provider-neutral provenance containing the request's `provider` and `model`, plus an optional JSON-serializable adapter replay state. A successful `assistant/message` session event records this provenance and `deriveMessages()` returns it with the assistant message. User, system, context, and tool-result messages carry no assistant provenance. The provider/model fields are authoritative loop data; an adapter owns only its opaque replay-state payload.
+
+A terminal successful `finish` chunk may carry replay state, and `BlockAssembler` retains it alongside usage and finish reason. The loop attaches it to the assistant provenance only when the post-`agent/step-result` content is structurally equal to the assembled provider output. A listener that rewrites content keeps the provider/model provenance but loses the now-stale replay state. Error and aborted responses do not produce a normal assistant message and therefore do not enter future model history.
+
+The pi-ai replay state is a versioned, minimal projection of its successful `AssistantMessage`: source API/provider/model, response id/model, stop reason, and index-aligned text, thinking, and tool-call signatures. It does not duplicate text or tool arguments already carried by Harness content blocks, and it omits diagnostics, timestamps, usage, and errors. On a later request, `LlmService` gives replay state to the target adapter only when the historical provider and target provider are currently owned by the same adapter instance. That adapter combines the logged Harness content with replay state when it can restore the historical response, and owns any required cross-model or cross-provider conversion. An adapter receiving replay state with an unknown version or mismatched block shape fails explicitly; a different adapter receives only provider-neutral content and provenance.
+
+This state is model-visible replay input and therefore follows the existing [reconstructable-request rule](../../implemented/architecture/2026-07-05-reconstructable-requests.md): it is present in both the terminal `finish` chunk and the assembled `assistant/message` provenance that drives derivation. Resume and fork preserve it verbatim. Compaction that shadows the assistant message also removes its replay state from the active surface; the summary is ordinary provider-neutral content.
+
+### Propagate the target through every request producer
+
+Every model-selection surface carries provider and model together: declarative agents, ACP and stdio app config, the JSON-RPC initialize request, subagent overrides and inheritance, workflow child overrides, and direct compaction summarization. Subagents inherit both fields from their parent before applying request overrides. The system-prompt variable set gains `provider` beside `model`.
+
+Compaction configuration gains `summarizationProvider` beside `summarizationModel`. Both are empty to inherit, or both are non-empty to select an explicit target; a half-configured pair fails load. Inheritance uses the last logged request target when one exists and falls back to the agent's creation options. `compact/summary` records both fields with the existing model-call envelope.
+
+The JSON-RPC runtime receives provider and model explicitly. Its convenience fallback mounts `dsh-llm-deepseek` only for provider `deepseek` when that provider has no registered owner; other missing providers fail without guessing an adapter.
+
+The on-disk session format remains the pre-release pinned version `0`, with no compatibility promise. Seed/load validation rejects request headers lacking provider and assistant messages lacking required provenance instead of accepting an old shape that can no longer reconstruct the request.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Keep model names as registry keys and add wildcard adapters.** A wildcard introduces fallback ordering between exact registrations and catch-all plugins, makes duplicate ownership dependent on listener order, and still cannot distinguish the same model id at two providers without another convention.
+
+**Encode provider and model into one string.** Values such as OpenRouter's `openai/gpt-*` already contain provider-like prefixes and slashes. A delimiter convention would leak routing syntax into every model selector and require escaping rules; two explicit fields are unambiguous and independently loggable.
+
+**Add `backend + provider + model`.** A backend key would allow `dsh-llm-deepseek` and pi-ai's DeepSeek implementation to coexist and switch per request. The accepted deployment rule is instead one adapter owner per provider: implementations of the same upstream are alternatives selected by plugin composition. A third routing dimension would burden every request and configuration for a capability with no current consumer.
+
+**Let `dsh-llm-pi-ai` automatically register every pi-ai provider.** This would claim ambient credentials and provider names the deployment never intended to expose, and would conflict with native adapters such as `dsh-llm-deepseek`. Explicit profiles make capability and credential scope reviewable.
+
+**Mount one pi-ai plugin instance per provider.** Separate instances isolate config but repeat plugin declarations and cannot make profile registration atomic. One adapter already receives provider on every request, so a validated profile map is the smaller lifecycle surface.
+
+**Accept arbitrary inline pi-ai model descriptors.** This would support catalog-external private model ids, but it exposes pi-ai's model and compatibility schema as Harness configuration and makes the adapter responsible for validating protocol-specific combinations. The first version supports custom endpoints by overriding `baseURL` on catalog models; custom descriptors require a separate decision after a real catalog-external deployment is identified.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Provider names are deployment-wide route ownership keys: two providers may use the same model string, but mounting two adapters for one provider fails at load instead of creating fallback order.
+- Model selection no longer changes the Cordis plugin graph. Catalog-backed adapters can accept any installed catalog model selected after startup, while the native DeepSeek adapter forwards arbitrary DeepSeek model ids.
+- A custom `baseURL` preserves the selected catalog model's protocol and capabilities; it does not make catalog-external model ids valid. Private endpoints must implement that catalog entry's protocol.
+- pi-ai credentials and transport knobs are scoped per provider profile. An omitted key delegates to pi-ai ambient authentication, while an explicitly empty key is invalid.
+- `dsh-llm-pi-ai` rejects stop sequences because pi-ai's common stream API cannot express them; the native DeepSeek adapter retains its stop support.
+- Replay state is portable only within the adapter instance that owns both the historical and target providers. Cross-provider and cross-model restoration is an adapter responsibility, and another adapter receives provider-neutral history without the opaque state.
+- Current pre-release session JSONL requires provider/model request headers and assistant provenance. Older shapes remain version `0` but are rejected rather than migrated.
+
+## Testing
+
+- Unit coverage exercises registry conflicts, request reconstruction, session validation, profile resolution, option forwarding, native API selection including OpenAI Responses, conversion, replay validation, error mapping, cancellation, content rewrites, and same-instance versus different-instance replay dispatch.
+- Keyless loop/session tests and ACP snapshots exercise durable provider/model metadata, resume and fork propagation, workflow/subagent overrides, and unchanged user-visible transcripts; the key-gated DeepSeek e2e retains real provider streaming and tool follow-up coverage.
+- Public JSDoc, package READMEs, architecture and core-data-structure docs, generated catalogs, examples, session fixtures, and Python SDK pairs use provider/model targets consistently and are checked by the repository documentation and type-equivalence gates.
+
+## Risks
+
+This is a repo-wide pre-release API break: model-only request construction, adapter registration, app protocols, fixtures, and persisted version-0 event shapes all change together, with no compatibility aliases. The provider exclusivity rule deliberately prevents two implementations of the same upstream from coexisting in one context. A pi-ai dependency update can change the accepted provider/model catalog, so the lockfile and adapter e2e matrix define the tested set. Custom `baseURL` endpoints inherit the chosen catalog model's protocol assumptions and cannot repair an incompatible proxy. Catalog-external model descriptors and multimodal content remain unsupported. pi-ai replay state may contain opaque encrypted reasoning signatures; it is persisted because the provider requires it for continuity, but it is never rendered or logged outside the existing session record.

+# RFC: 基于提供方路由的 LLM 适配器与通用 pi-ai 后端
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-14-provider-routed-llm-adapters.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+`dsh-llm` 按精确模型名称注册适配器。插件在 Cordis 启动时提供模型列表，`LlmService` 为列表中的每个字符串保存一个适配器，`GenerateOptions.model` 同时选择适配器与提供方模型。两个正式适配器都只面向相同的两个 DeepSeek 模型时，这种方式可以工作，但它混淆了两个独立决策：由哪个上游提供方承接请求，以及该提供方应运行哪个模型。
+
+这种混淆使提供方网关无法提供开放的模型目录。例如，OpenRouter 是一个包含大量模型 ID 的提供方，私有 OpenAI 兼容端点也可能在不修改 Harness 插件树的情况下增加模型。目前，每个新选择的模型都必须在插件启动期间完成注册。同一个模型 ID 还可能存在于多个提供方中，因此仅按模型注册无法表达调用方预期使用的提供方。
+
+`dsh-llm-pi-ai` 没有暴露 pi-ai 的提供方抽象。它以内联方式构造 DeepSeek `openai-completions` 模型，应用 DeepSeek 专用的 payload 补丁，并将每条回放的助手消息标记为 DeepSeek。pi-ai 自身提供提供方/模型目录，能够选择 `openai-responses`、`anthropic-messages`、`google-generative-ai` 等 API，并保留提供方专用的响应 ID，以及后续轮次所需的推理和工具签名。Harness 转换丢弃了这些来源信息，因此仅将内联模型替换为目录查询，会导致同模型回放与跨提供方移交不完整。
+
+适配器配置同样假定只存在一个 DeepSeek API 密钥和端点。通用后端需要为各提供方分别配置凭据和端点覆盖，同时继续由 pi-ai 处理 AWS、Google ADC、OAuth 等环境认证机制。
+
+## 决策
+
+### 提供方作为适配器注册键
+
+`GenerateOptions` 与 `LlmCallConfig` 在 `model: string` 之外携带 `provider: string`，`AgentOptions` 则携带对应的可选创建字段。只有两个值都非空时，agent loop（智能体循环）请求才有效；两个值也都会写入请求头日志。`agent/request` 可以在任意步骤返回替换后的字段组合，因此会话可以切换提供方与模型，无需改变 Cordis 插件生命周期。
+
+`LlmService` 按提供方注册和解析适配器。`registerAdapter(providers, adapter)` 在修改注册表前检查整个提供方列表，遇到重复项时返回 `DUPLICATE_ADAPTER`，并将整组注册作为一个 effect 释放。模型 ID 不作为注册键；仍由选中的适配器负责验证或转发。后续的 [LLM 目录与 ACP 模型选择 RFC](2026-07-15-llm-model-catalog-and-acp-selection.md) 增加了建议性的 `listProviders()` / `listModels()` 发现接口，但不会把目录成员关系变成请求校验规则。
+
+在一个 Cordis 上下文中，一个提供方只能有一个适配器所有者。`dsh-llm-deepseek` 注册 `deepseek`；`dsh-llm-pi-ai` 也可以注册 `deepseek`，但同时加载两个所有者属于配置错误，不采用顺序规则或回退行为。若部署选择手写的 DeepSeek 实现，需从 pi-ai 配置中排除 `deepseek`；若部署选择 pi-ai 的 DeepSeek 实现，则不挂载 `dsh-llm-deepseek`。
+
+`dsh-llm-deepseek` 移除模型注册列表，接受通过 `deepseek` 提供方路由的任意模型字符串。其请求序列化、`/chat/completions` 端点、thinking 选项、SSE（Server-Sent Events）解析和错误行为保持不变；`options.model` 仍会原样发送。
+
+### 显式 pi-ai 提供方配置
+
+`dsh-llm-pi-ai` 接受一个非空的提供方配置列表。列表内的提供方名称必须唯一，并且存在于 pi-ai 的 `getProviders()` 结果中。每项配置包含提供方名称，以及可选的 `apiKey`、`baseURL`、headers、推理级别和预算、缓存保留设置、传输方式、超时和重试设置。凭据不设全局值：显式密钥仅对所属配置生效；未提供密钥时，pi-ai 使用标准环境变量、OAuth token、AWS 凭据链、Google ADC 或其他提供方原生环境认证。显式空密钥属于无效配置，不会回退到环境认证。
+
+插件通过一次全有或全无调用，将所有已配置的提供方名称注册到同一个 `PiAiAdapter`。请求按 provider 选择对应配置，并在 `getModels(provider)` 中查找模型以取得目录描述符。未知提供方会在插件加载时失败；未知模型会在网络 I/O 前以 `UNKNOWN_MODEL` 失败。适配器不会修改目录对象。当配置提供 `baseURL` 时，适配器复制选中的描述符，仅覆盖 `baseUrl`，使私有端点保留 pi-ai 的 API、能力、兼容标志、上下文限制与推理映射。私有端点必须实现所选提供方的协议，模型 ID 也仍须存在于已安装的 pi-ai 目录中。
+
+适配器调用 pi-ai 的 `streamSimple()`，因此每个目录模型会选择其注册的 API 实现；描述符为 `openai-responses` 时使用 OpenAI Responses，而非 Chat Completions。Harness 的 temperature、最大 token 数、signal、session ID，以及提供方配置中的通用流选项均直接传递。配置 headers 与 Harness 强制归因 headers 合并；发生保留名称冲突时，以 Harness 归因为准。适配器不再维护 DeepSeek 专用 payload 重写或提供方协议矩阵。
+
+pi-ai 的通用流选项不支持停止序列。若 Harness `stop` 选项已定义，`dsh-llm-pi-ai` 会以 `UNSUPPORTED_OPTION` 拒绝请求，不会静默忽略，也不会增加第二套提供方专用 payload 实现。`dsh-llm-deepseek` 继续通过原生请求序列化器支持 `stop`。
+
+### 持久化助手来源信息与回放状态
+
+助手消息携带提供方无关的来源信息，其中包含请求的 `provider` 和 `model`，以及可选的 JSON 可序列化适配器回放状态。成功的 `assistant/message` 会话事件记录这些来源信息，`deriveMessages()` 返回助手消息时也会包含这些信息。用户、system、context 与工具结果消息不携带助手来源信息。provider/model 字段是 agent loop 的权威数据；适配器仅拥有其不透明回放状态 payload。
+
+成功的终止 `finish` 分片可以携带回放状态，`BlockAssembler` 会将其与 token 用量和结束原因一起保留。只有当 `agent/step-result` 处理后的内容与提供方组装输出在结构上相等时，agent loop 才会把回放状态附加到助手来源信息。监听器重写内容后，provider/model 来源信息仍会保留，但已经陈旧的回放状态会被移除。错误或中止响应不会生成正常助手消息，因此不会进入后续模型历史。
+
+pi-ai 回放状态是其成功 `AssistantMessage` 的带版本最小投影，包含源 API/provider/model、响应 ID/model、停止原因，以及按索引对齐的文本、thinking 和工具调用签名。它不会重复 Harness 内容块中已有的文本或工具参数，也不包含诊断信息、时间戳、用量或错误。后续请求中，只有历史提供方和目标提供方当前归同一个适配器实例所有时，`LlmService` 才会把回放状态交给目标适配器。适配器在能够恢复历史响应时，将 Harness 记录的内容与回放状态组合，并负责所需的跨模型或跨提供方转换。适配器收到未知版本或块形状不匹配的回放状态时会显式失败；其他适配器只能收到提供方无关的内容与来源信息。
+
+该状态属于模型可见的回放输入，因此遵循现有的[请求可重建规则](../../implemented/architecture/2026-07-05-reconstructable-requests.md)：它同时存在于终止 `finish` 分片和驱动派生的已组装 `assistant/message` 来源信息中。恢复和 fork 会原样保留该状态。压缩（compaction）遮蔽助手消息时，也会从活动 surface 中移除其回放状态；摘要属于普通的提供方无关内容。
+
+### 在所有请求生产方中传播目标
+
+每个模型选择接口都同时携带 provider 与 model：声明式 agent、ACP（Agent Client Protocol）和 stdio 应用配置、JSON-RPC initialize 请求、subagent 覆盖与继承、工作流子 agent 覆盖，以及直接压缩摘要。subagent 先从父 agent 继承两个字段，再应用请求覆盖。系统提示词变量集合在 `model` 之外增加 `provider`。
+
+压缩配置在 `summarizationModel` 之外增加 `summarizationProvider`。两个值均为空时继承，均非空时选择显式目标；只配置其中一个会导致加载失败。继承优先使用最近一次记录的请求目标，没有时回退到 agent 创建选项。`compact/summary` 使用现有模型调用 envelope 记录两个字段。
+
+JSON-RPC 运行时显式接收 provider 与 model。仅当 `deepseek` 提供方没有注册所有者时，其便利回退才会挂载 `dsh-llm-deepseek`；其他缺失的提供方会直接失败，不会猜测适配器。
+
+磁盘会话格式仍使用预发布阶段固定的版本 `0`，且不承诺兼容性。seed/load 验证会拒绝缺少 provider 的请求头，以及缺少必需来源信息的助手消息，不会接受已无法重建请求的旧格式。
+
+## 考虑过的替代方案
+
+**继续以模型名称作为注册表键，并增加通配适配器。** 通配机制会在精确注册与兜底插件之间引入回退顺序，使重复所有权取决于监听器顺序；若不再增加其他约定，仍无法区分不同提供方中相同的模型 ID。
+
+**将提供方与模型编码到一个字符串中。** OpenRouter 的 `openai/gpt-*` 等值已经包含类似提供方的前缀和斜杠。分隔符约定会把路由语法泄漏到每个模型选择接口，并需要转义规则；两个显式字段更清晰，也可以分别记录日志。
+
+**增加 `backend + provider + model`。** backend 键可以让 `dsh-llm-deepseek` 与 pi-ai 的 DeepSeek 实现共存，并按请求切换。最终采用的部署规则是一个提供方对应一个适配器所有者：同一上游的不同实现属于由插件组合选定的替代项。第三个路由维度会增加每个请求与配置的负担，却没有当前消费方。
+
+**让 `dsh-llm-pi-ai` 自动注册所有 pi-ai 提供方。** 这种方式会占用部署无意暴露的环境凭据和提供方名称，并与 `dsh-llm-deepseek` 等原生适配器冲突。显式配置可以审查能力和凭据范围。
+
+**每个提供方挂载一个 pi-ai 插件实例。** 独立实例可以隔离配置，但会重复插件声明，也无法实现配置注册的原子性。每个请求本就向同一个适配器提供 provider，因此经过验证的配置映射具有更小的生命周期接口。
+
+**接受任意内联 pi-ai 模型描述符。** 这种方式可支持目录外的私有模型 ID，但会将 pi-ai 的模型与兼容性 schema 暴露为 Harness 配置，并要求适配器验证协议专用组合。当前版本通过覆盖目录模型的 `baseURL` 支持自定义端点；只有实际出现目录外部署需求后，才会另行决策是否支持自定义描述符。
+
+## 影响
+
+- 提供方名称是部署范围内的路由所有权键：两个提供方可以使用相同的模型字符串，但为同一个提供方挂载两个适配器会在加载时失败，不会形成回退顺序。
+- 模型选择不再改变 Cordis 插件图。目录型适配器可以接受启动后选择的任意已安装目录模型，原生 DeepSeek 适配器则会转发任意 DeepSeek 模型 ID。
+- 自定义 `baseURL` 会保留所选目录模型的协议与能力，但不会让目录外模型 ID 变为有效。私有端点必须实现该目录项对应的协议。
+- pi-ai 凭据与传输选项按提供方配置隔离。省略密钥时委托 pi-ai 使用环境认证；显式空密钥无效。
+- pi-ai 的通用流 API 无法表达停止序列，因此 `dsh-llm-pi-ai` 会拒绝停止序列；原生 DeepSeek 适配器仍支持停止序列。
+- 仅当历史提供方与目标提供方归同一个适配器实例所有时，回放状态才可移植。适配器负责跨提供方和跨模型恢复；其他适配器只接收不含不透明状态的提供方无关历史。
+- 当前预发布会话 JSONL 要求请求头包含 provider/model，助手消息包含来源信息。旧格式仍使用版本 `0`，但会被拒绝，不执行迁移。
+
+## 测试
+
+- 单元测试覆盖注册表冲突、请求重建、会话验证、配置解析、选项转发、包括 OpenAI Responses 在内的原生 API 选择、转换、回放验证、错误映射、取消、内容重写，以及同一实例与不同实例间的回放分发。
+- 无密钥的 agent loop/会话测试和 ACP 快照覆盖持久化 provider/model 元数据、恢复与 fork 传播、工作流/subagent 覆盖，以及不变的用户可见 transcript（文本记录）；密钥门控的 DeepSeek e2e 测试保留真实提供方的流式输出与工具后续调用覆盖率。
+- 公共 JSDoc、package README、架构与核心数据结构文档、生成目录、示例、会话 fixture（测试前置数据）和 Python SDK 配对文档统一使用 provider/model 目标，并由仓库文档与类型等价门禁校验。
+
+## 风险
+
+这是一次覆盖全仓库的预发布 API 破坏性变更：仅模型的请求构造、适配器注册、应用协议、fixture，以及持久化版本 0 事件格式会同时变化，不提供兼容别名。提供方排他规则有意禁止同一上游的两个实现共存于同一上下文。pi-ai 依赖升级可能改变可接受的提供方/模型目录，因此锁文件与适配器 e2e 矩阵定义已验证集合。自定义 `baseURL` 端点会继承所选目录模型的协议假设，无法修复不兼容的代理。目录外模型描述符与多模态内容仍不受支持。pi-ai 回放状态可能包含不透明的加密推理签名；提供方需要该信息维持连续性，因此系统会持久化该状态，但不会在现有会话记录之外渲染或记录它。

+# RFC: Advisory LLM catalogs and per-session ACP model selection
+
+Status: implemented
+

+
+## Problem
+
+Provider-routed adapters let every request choose `provider + model`, but `LlmService` exposed only routing and streaming. A UI could not discover which providers were registered or which models an adapter was prepared to recommend. ACP clients therefore received no `model` session config option, so Zed, JetBrains, and VS Code integrations had no model list even though the request seam already supported runtime switching.
+
+Model discovery cannot become request validation. The hand-written DeepSeek adapter deliberately forwards arbitrary model ids to a public or private endpoint, while pi-ai has a finite installed catalog that is authoritative for its own request resolution. Treating one shared catalog as a whitelist would remove the private-endpoint behavior that provider routing was designed to preserve.
+
+ACP selection must also preserve the provider dimension. The same model id may appear under multiple routes, and switching a global adapter or agent template would leak one editor session's choice into every other session. Prompt variables and request routing must change together; a selection that lands during asynchronous prompt assembly cannot make `{{model}}` name one model while the request reaches another.
+
+## Decision
+
+### Provider-neutral advisory discovery
+
+`LlmAdapter` gains `providerInfo(provider)` and asynchronous `listModels(provider)` methods. Their provider-neutral results are `LlmProviderInfo { id, name }` and `LlmModelInfo { provider, id, name, description? }`. The defaults preserve existing adapter behavior by naming a provider after its route and advertising no models.
+
+`LlmService.listProviders()` returns detached metadata in registration order. `LlmService.listModels(provider)` delegates to the route owner, validates non-empty ids and names, rejects a mismatched provider or duplicate model id with `INVALID_CATALOG`, and returns detached values. Unknown providers still fail with `NO_ADAPTER`. Provider metadata is validated atomically during `registerAdapter()` so a malformed display record cannot leave a partial registration.
+
+Catalog membership is advisory. It drives selectors and diagnostics but never changes `stream()` routing and never rejects an otherwise valid request. Provider ownership remains exclusive and lifecycle-bound; model ids remain request-time adapter input.
+
+`dsh-llm-pi-ai` maps the configured provider's installed `getModels(provider)` entries into the neutral catalog. Its existing request-time catalog lookup remains authoritative and still rejects unknown models with `UNKNOWN_MODEL`. `dsh-llm-deepseek` accepts an optional `models` config containing display entries, defaulting to `deepseek-v4-flash` and `deepseek-v4-pro`. An explicit list replaces those defaults and an empty list disables discovery. The entries improve selector UX for known public or private models, while every unlisted model id continues to pass through unchanged.
+
+### ACP session config option
+
+The ACP bridge advertises one select with `id: model` and `category: model` in `session/new` and `session/load` when the session has a complete target whose provider is registered. Each opaque option value encodes the full provider/model pair. Models are grouped by provider when multiple non-empty provider groups exist; a single group is flattened for clients that render simple selects better.
+
+The session's current target is added to the displayed options when its adapter omits it. This preserves custom DeepSeek and private-endpoint models while keeping the adapter catalog advisory. A target with an unregistered provider is not advertised, and a model-less agent remains available to another `agent/request` supplier.
+
+`session/set_config_option` accepts only values from the current catalog snapshot and updates a target reference owned by that ACP session. No global `LlmService` or `AgentOptions` state changes, so concurrent sessions may select different providers and models. The existing permission select remains independent, and every response returns the complete refreshed option state.
+
+### Prompt/request consistency and durability
+
+Agent setup installs scoped `system-prompt/assemble` and `agent/request` listeners. Prompt assembly snapshots the selected pair once per step, overwrites the assembled `provider` and `model` variables after downstream prompt listeners, and the request listener applies that same snapshot after downstream request listeners. A selection during asynchronous assembly therefore starts on the next step rather than splitting prompt text from routing. Other call-config fields remain untouched.
+
+The request header remains the durable source of truth. When a selected target is actually used, the existing full `request/header` snapshot records it. `session/load` initializes the ACP selection from the folded last request header before falling back to bridge config. A selection that is never used by a request is intentionally in-memory only because it never became model-visible state.
+
+ACP's experimental `providers/*` capability is not used. That draft surface configures provider base URLs, protocols, and headers, including secrets; it does not enumerate models and would give the UI authority to rewrite deployment-owned adapter configuration.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Return model strings only.** A model-only value loses the provider route and becomes ambiguous as soon as two providers expose the same id.
+
+**Make catalogs mandatory whitelists.** This conflicts with the hand-written adapter's arbitrary model pass-through and private deployments. The selected adapter already owns authoritative request validation.
+
+**Store selection in `AgentOptions` or `LlmService`.** Those are creation-wide or deployment-wide objects. Mutating them would couple concurrent ACP sessions and bypass the logged `agent/request` replacement path.
+
+**Persist a new model-selection session event immediately.** An unused UI selection has not affected a model request. Recording the existing request header when the target is consumed preserves the model-visible-if-and-only-if-logged rule without adding a second source of truth.
+
+**Use ACP `providers/*`.** That unstable API changes endpoint and authentication configuration rather than selecting a model for one session, and its lifecycle and secret-handling semantics do not match this feature.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Any adapter can expose a dynamic model list without leaking provider-library types into the core seam.
+- Catalog consumers must treat absence as “not advertised,” never “invalid request.”
+- pi-ai-backed ACP deployments automatically inherit the installed pi-ai provider catalogs; hand-written DeepSeek deployments list known choices explicitly and retain arbitrary model support.
+- ACP clients receive a standard stable model config option, with provider-aware values and per-session isolation.
+- Request headers remain compatible with the provider-routed session shape; no new JSONL event or format version is required.
+- A catalog read can be asynchronous. ACP reads a detached snapshot before creating or resuming an agent, so discovery failure cannot leave a partially published session.
+
+## Testing
+
+Unit coverage validates catalog detachment and malformed metadata, pi-ai and DeepSeek catalog projection, ACP provider grouping, custom-current insertion, invalid values, provider/model request routing, prompt-variable alignment, concurrent-session isolation, model-less fallback, and load restoration from the request header. The existing ACP transport suites verify that the additional config option does not change prompt, cancellation, replay, approval, or tool-rendering behavior.

+# RFC: 建议性 LLM 目录与 ACP 会话级模型选择
+
+Status: implemented
+

+
+## 问题
+
+基于提供方路由的适配器允许每次请求选择 `provider + model`，但 `LlmService` 只暴露路由和流式调用。UI 无法发现已注册的提供方，也无法知道适配器愿意推荐哪些模型。因此，ACP 客户端收不到 `model` 会话配置项；即使请求接缝已经支持运行时切换，Zed、JetBrains 和 VS Code 集成仍没有模型列表。
+
+模型发现不能变成请求校验。手写 DeepSeek 适配器会把任意模型 ID 原样转发给公开或私有端点，而 pi-ai 的有限安装目录则是其自身请求解析的权威依据。将共享目录视为白名单，会破坏提供方路由需要保留的私有端点能力。
+
+ACP 选择还必须保留提供方维度。同一个模型 ID 可能存在于多个路由下；切换全局适配器或 agent 模板会让一个编辑器会话的选择泄漏到其他会话。Prompt 变量与请求路由必须同时变化；如果选择发生在异步 prompt 组装期间，不能让 `{{model}}` 表示一个模型、实际请求却到达另一个模型。
+
+## 决策
+
+### 提供方中立的建议性发现
+
+`LlmAdapter` 增加 `providerInfo(provider)` 与异步 `listModels(provider)` 方法。其提供方中立结果分别为 `LlmProviderInfo { id, name }` 和 `LlmModelInfo { provider, id, name, description? }`。默认实现以路由名称作为提供方名称，并且不展示模型，从而保持现有适配器行为。
+
+`LlmService.listProviders()` 按注册顺序返回分离后的元数据。`LlmService.listModels(provider)` 委托给路由所有者，校验非空 ID 和名称，并在提供方不匹配或模型 ID 重复时以 `INVALID_CATALOG` 失败，最后返回分离后的值。未知提供方仍以 `NO_ADAPTER` 失败。提供方元数据在 `registerAdapter()` 期间进行原子校验，错误展示记录不会留下部分注册。
+
+目录成员关系仅提供建议。它驱动选择器与诊断，但不会改变 `stream()` 路由，也不会拒绝原本有效的请求。提供方所有权仍然具有排他性并绑定生命周期；模型 ID 仍是请求时传给适配器的输入。
+
+`dsh-llm-pi-ai` 将已配置提供方的安装目录 `getModels(provider)` 映射为中立目录。其现有请求时目录查询仍是权威依据，未知模型仍以 `UNKNOWN_MODEL` 失败。`dsh-llm-deepseek` 接受可选的 `models` 配置作为展示条目，默认包含 `deepseek-v4-flash` 和 `deepseek-v4-pro`。显式列表会替换这些默认值，空列表则关闭发现。这些条目改善已知公开或私有模型的选择体验，而所有未列出的模型 ID 仍会原样透传。
+
+### ACP 会话配置项
+
+当会话具有完整目标且目标提供方已注册时，ACP bridge 会在 `session/new` 与 `session/load` 中展示一个 `id: model`、`category: model` 的选择项。每个不透明选项值都编码完整的提供方/模型字段组合。存在多个非空提供方分组时按提供方分组；只有一个分组时将其展开，以便对简单选择器支持更好的客户端展示。
+
+如果适配器目录未包含会话当前目标，该目标仍会加入展示选项。这能保留自定义 DeepSeek 与私有端点模型，同时维持目录的建议性。提供方未注册的目标不会展示；缺少模型的 agent 仍可由其他 `agent/request` 提供者补齐。
+
+`session/set_config_option` 只接受当前目录快照中的值，并更新该 ACP 会话独占的目标引用。它不会修改全局 `LlmService` 或 `AgentOptions` 状态，因此并发会话可以选择不同的提供方和模型。现有权限选择项保持独立，每次响应都返回完整的刷新后配置项状态。
+
+### Prompt/请求一致性与持久化
+
+Agent setup 会安装作用域内的 `system-prompt/assemble` 与 `agent/request` 监听器。Prompt 组装为每个 step 只快照一次选中的字段组合，在下游 prompt 监听器完成后覆盖组装结果中的 `provider` 与 `model` 变量；请求监听器则在下游请求监听器完成后应用同一个快照。因此，异步组装期间发生的选择会从下一个 step 生效，不会导致 prompt 文本与路由分裂。其他调用配置字段保持不变。
+
+请求头仍是持久化事实来源。当选中目标被实际使用时，现有的完整 `request/header` 快照会记录它。`session/load` 先从折叠后的最后请求头初始化 ACP 选择，再回退到 bridge 配置。一个从未被请求使用的选择只保留在内存中，因为它从未成为模型可见状态。
+
+本功能不使用 ACP 的实验性 `providers/*` 能力。该草案接口配置提供方 base URL、协议和 headers，其中可能包含密钥；它不枚举模型，并且会赋予 UI 改写部署所有的适配器配置的权力。
+
+## 考虑过的替代方案
+
+**只返回模型字符串。** 仅模型值会丢失提供方路由；两个提供方暴露相同 ID 时立刻产生歧义。
+
+**将目录设为强制白名单。** 这与手写适配器的任意模型透传和私有部署冲突。请求的权威校验本就属于被选中的适配器。
+
+**将选择存入 `AgentOptions` 或 `LlmService`。** 这些对象分别面向创建过程或整个部署。修改它们会耦合并发 ACP 会话，并绕开带日志归因的 `agent/request` 替换路径。
+
+**立即写入新的模型选择会话事件。** 尚未使用的 UI 选择没有影响模型请求。目标被消费时记录现有请求头，既满足“模型可见当且仅当已记录”的规则，也不会引入第二个事实来源。
+
+**使用 ACP `providers/*`。** 该不稳定 API 用于修改端点与认证配置，而不是为单个会话选择模型；其生命周期和密钥处理语义都不适合本功能。
+
+## 结果
+
+- 任意适配器都能暴露动态模型列表，无需把提供方库类型泄漏到核心接缝。
+- 目录消费者必须把缺失理解为“未展示”，而不是“请求无效”。
+- 基于 pi-ai 的 ACP 部署会自动继承已安装的 pi-ai 提供方目录；手写 DeepSeek 部署显式列出已知选项，同时保留任意模型能力。
+- ACP 客户端会收到稳定标准的模型配置项，其中的值保留提供方信息，并按会话隔离。
+- 请求头继续使用基于提供方路由的会话结构；不需要增加 JSONL 事件或格式版本。
+- 目录读取可以是异步的。ACP 在创建或恢复 agent 前读取分离后的快照，因此发现失败不会留下部分发布的会话。
+
+## 测试
+
+单元测试覆盖目录分离与错误元数据、pi-ai 和 DeepSeek 目录投影、ACP 提供方分组、自定义当前模型补入、无效值、提供方/模型请求路由、prompt 变量一致性、并发会话隔离、无模型回退，以及从请求头恢复选择。现有 ACP 传输测试验证新增配置项不会改变 prompt、取消、回放、审批或工具展示行为。

 Context pressure is useful outside compaction. A compaction backend, an overflow guard, or a future request-policy plugin can all need the same answer: how much of the configured context window does the durable request consume? Keeping that fold inside `dsh-compact-basic` duplicates replay logic, makes measurement unavailable without compaction, and encourages callers to reuse stale accounting.
 
-Provider usage is not a complete answer. It describes one successful call under one exact request envelope, while the current surface can grow, shrink, or be replaced afterward. Sessions also switch models, old logs can lack chunk provenance, and provider fields separate input, cache-read, cache-write, output, and reasoning counts. A useful service therefore combines the latest exact anchor with conservative heuristic repricing and exposes the log revision consumed by each result.

 ### Per-session replay folds
 
-Each session owns one isolated incremental fold. Active folds advance from `session/event`; every read catches up through the durable tail, so listener ordering, seeded sessions, and service reload do not change the answer. The fold tracks canonical request headers and deltas, step boundaries, surface appends and replacements, assistant usage, and assistant-chunk provenance. A malformed next event fails transactionally and remains unread rather than partially mutating state.
+Each session owns one isolated incremental fold. Active folds advance from `session/event`; every read catches up through the durable tail, so listener ordering, seeded sessions, and service reload do not change the answer. The fold tracks canonical full request-header snapshots, step boundaries, surface appends and replacements, assistant usage, and assistant-chunk provenance. A malformed next event fails transactionally and remains unread rather than partially mutating state.
 
 `measure(session, requestHeader?)` synchronizes the fold once and returns scalar pressure together with positional per-node prices. `totalTokens` remains request-and-response pressure; `surfaceTokens` is the surface-only heuristic total and equals the sum of `nodes[].tokens`. A `requestHeader` override changes pressure pricing only, while the surface fields always describe the current session. `estimateMessage(message)` applies the fixed heuristic without session state. Each result is one detached, deeply immutable snapshot carrying one `logRevision`. Every measurement clones the current nodes and is therefore O(surface).
 
-Provider usage is reused only when the measured canonical request envelope equals the latest successful-call anchor. Any model, system, prefix, tool, or call-config change causes complete heuristic repricing. Surface changes remain a signed delta from a matching anchor, including negative values after a shrinking replacement. A later successful request replaces the earlier anchor, including across model switches.

 Usage sums the disjoint input, cache-read, cache-write, and output buckets. Reasoning is not added a second time. Every successful model call records an `assistant/message`, including content-less and max-token calls, with its exact earlier chunk seqs. An explicit empty provenance list means a known empty provider stream; absent legacy provenance conservatively treats the durable assistant output as provider output.
 
 ### Compact-basic consumes, but does not own, measurement
 
-`dsh-compact-basic` requires `ctx.tokenMeter`; `CompactService` gains no token methods or types. The backend is factored into configuration, automatic triggering, region transaction, and summarizer modules, while `summarize()` remains its sole subclass hook. The singleton service consistently prices pressure, retention, shadowed content, provenance, and non-shrinking-summary rejection.
+`dsh-compact-basic` requires `ctx.tokenMeter`; `CompactService` gains no token methods or types. Configuration, the region transaction, and summarization stay in separate modules; the service registers automatic listeners itself, while `summarize()` remains its sole subclass hook. The singleton meter consistently prices pressure, retention, shadowed content, provenance, and non-shrinking-summary rejection.
 
 Automatic compaction uses one unified measurement for each threshold-and-retention decision. The region transaction measures after appending its durable `compact/start` lock and again after asynchronous summarization; any intervening durable append changes `logRevision` and prevents replacement.
 
-Compact policy has service-wide defaults: threshold ratio `0.8`, retained tail `floor(contextWindow × 0.16)`, summarization model `''`, maximum summary output `8192`, one extra pressure-compaction attempt, one context-overflow retry, and automatic triggering enabled. Top-level `thresholdRatio` and `retainTokens` override the pressure policy; retention must remain below the resulting threshold. Empty summarization model resolves the latest logged routed model, then `AgentOptions.model`.

The summarization provider and model must both be set or both be empty; an empty pair resolves the latest logged request target, then the `AgentOptions` pair.
 
-Automatic pressure runs at `agent/post-step` and measures the canonical durable envelope produced under the model actually selected by `agent/request`. A headerless session has no completed routed request to assess and produces no work; any routed model name can use the singleton estimator. Canonical overflow recovery uses the same measurement for forced range selection and retries only after a proven surface replacement.

 ## Decision
 
-The ACP bridge stores live sessions in `Map<SessionId, SessionRecord>` and keeps a `WeakMap<Agent, SessionId>` reverse index for agent-scoped callbacks. A record owns its agent handle, in-flight prompt, live tool-call presentation state, pending idle config switches, session cwd, and client capability snapshot. A separate loading-id set reserves each id before asynchronous resume so two pipelined loads cannot construct duplicate agents; distinct ids may load concurrently.
+The ACP bridge stores live sessions in `Map<SessionId, SessionRecord>`. Agent-scoped callbacks use `ownedRecord`: look up `agent.session.id` in that forward map and accept the record only when it owns the exact agent object, so a foreign same-id object cannot claim the session. A record owns its agent handle, in-flight prompt, live tool-call presentation state, pending idle config switches, session cwd, and client capability snapshot. A separate loading-id set reserves each id before asynchronous resume so two pipelined loads cannot construct duplicate agents; distinct ids may load concurrently.
 
 Every `session/event` and `agent/status` callback resolves the owning record before sending or settling anything. Each session permits one in-flight prompt independently. The prompt records a log watermark, captures its own `turn/start`, and settles only on the matching `turn/end`; a late end from a cancelled prior turn cannot resolve a newer prompt. `session/cancel` addresses one record and calls only that agent's queue-aware cancel path.
 
-Permission ownership uses the same reverse index. The ACP `approval/request` answerer prompts only the editor session that owns the requesting agent and delegates foreign requests. User-interaction elicitations likewise route by agent ownership. Per-session sandbox and approval config values fold only that session's events, with pending idle switches stored on that record until the next turn anchors them.

 Background bash tasks carry an opaque owner token equal to the owning session id. `bash_output` and `bash_kill` compare the caller's token with the executor's task ownership before reading or killing; a predictable task id alone grants no access. Ownership is stored with the executor task, so a tool plugin reload does not erase it.

 Under `'code'` and `'both'` the registry owns `run_code` as a reserved presentation transport with one required parameter, `{ code: string }`. It is represented by a normal `ToolDefinition` for dispatch but stays outside the filterable capability layers, so restrictions cannot accidentally remove Code Mode's only entry point. Calls traverse the complete tool pipeline — `tools/pre-execute` → monotonic guards → `tools/execute` around dispatch → `tools/post-execute` → immutable `tools/result` notification — exactly like native calls; a permission plugin can inspect the program text before it runs, and final-result observers see the normalized outer outcome.

Successful text becomes a string and non-text blocks become placeholders; tool errors reject the binding promise. Every sub-call retains its own immutable execution identity and traverses the full tool pipeline.

Every sub-call retains its own immutable execution identity and traverses the full tool pipeline.
 2. **Runs the program**: `ctx.codeRuntime.run({ program: args.code, bindings: [{ global: 'tools', functions }], signal: runController.signal })`. The runtime receives the run-scoped signal, not only the caller's outer signal, so any way the outer run settles also aborts work inside the runtime.
 3. **Settle after quiescence.** When the runtime settles, the bridge aborts outstanding work and drains the dispatch queue before returning. Success returns captured output and presentation metadata. A runtime failure becomes `CodeRunFailedError`; backend rejection uses the registry's normal error boundary. Both produce structured error results, and no sub-call can append after `run_code` settles.
 
-**Sub-call `additionalContext` is omitted.** Injecting it during `run_code` would break parent call/result adjacency, while one program can produce many contexts. Supporting it requires a plural channel or loop-level sub-dispatch buffer.
+**Sub-call contexts are deferred through the parent.** Injecting inside `run_code` would break parent call/result adjacency, so `ToolRunContext.deferContext()` collects every sub-result `additionalContexts` entry in dispatch order. The registry carries that array even when the program later throws, and the loop appends each entry only after the outer result and every sibling result in the step. An outer post-execute block discards tool-deferred entries and exposes only contexts explicitly attached by the blocking decision.
 
 **Concurrency is serialized.** Each run owns a dispatch queue, so even `Promise.all` executes tool calls in submission order. Settlement abandons queued calls that have not started. Parallelism requires per-tool concurrency-safety metadata.

 Two forces shape the design. First, compaction policy and reusable token measurement vary independently: measurement belongs to the LLM-family [`ctx.tokenMeter` service](../../implemented/architecture/2026-07-15-replay-token-meter-service.md), while summarization can be a model call, a template, or a remote service. Second, `SurfaceEventType` is closed to five event types (`user/message`, `assistant/message`, `tool/result`, `context/message`, `steering/message`); only those may carry `surfaceOp`. A bespoke `compaction/*` event therefore **cannot** itself appear on the surface — the compiler rejects `surfaceOp` on it and the invariants plugin rejects it at runtime.

 An earlier draft put the full algorithm (the retention walk, token-summing, text extraction) as concrete methods on the interface. That recouples the contract to one strategy: a backend that wants a different retention policy or event sequence would have to fight inherited concrete code. Making both core methods abstract puts every *how* decision in the backend and keeps the interface a statement of *what*. Token measurement is not a compaction hook at all; the singleton service lets multiple consumers share one per-session replay fold.

 Canonical provider context overflow takes a separate path. The failed step closes, `agent/request-error` receives the original request error and consecutive retry count, and compact-basic forces one useful balanced reduction. It returns retry only if `session.surface.replaceGeneration` increases; the loop then opens a new numbered step and reconstructs its request from the durable log. No range, no replacement, recovery failure, cancellation, an exhausted cap, or an unrelated error preserves the original provider failure.

+## Problem
+
+Repository guidance such as `AGENTS.md` belongs in a coding session's effective context so project conventions, build commands, and review rules arrive without repeated user pasting. The stdio and ACP products need the same behavior, isolated by session cwd: a global system-prompt section leaks one workspace's files into another live ACP session.
+
+Neighboring products establish useful conventions but differ in details. Codex treats `AGENTS.md` as native, Claude Code uses `CLAUDE.md` and familiar system-reminder-style user context, and opencode supports both names with one winner per directory plus lazy nested discovery. The harness needs cross-tool compatibility without loading duplicate or contradictory files from the same scope.

+The lifecycle has two distinct classes of content. The initial applicable chain is stable enough to live in the request prefix and benefit from provider prefix caching. Nested files, edits, candidate switches, and removals happen after the session starts and belong in durable append-only history rather than the frozen prefix.
+
+## 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 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 call `lstat` before `resolve`, so a repository-owned final-component symlink is rejected rather than followed outside the workspace. 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. Once `lstat` identifies a regular-file winner, a provider exception or disagreement during resolve/stat is classified as unavailable: it is neither interpreted as a deletion nor allowed to fall through to a lower-priority candidate.
+
+### File Names And Precedence
+
+The default per-directory candidate list is `['AGENTS.md', 'CLAUDE.md']`. The list is configurable as `instructionFileCandidates`, and `AGENTS.md` is an ordinary first candidate rather than a hidden priority. In one directory, only the first existing regular-file candidate loads. With defaults, `AGENTS.md` is native and `CLAUDE.md` is a compatibility fallback.
+
+Candidate entries are same-directory file names. Empty entries, `.`/`..`, and entries containing `/` or `\` are ignored. Lowercase names, local variants, and other same-directory names can be opted into explicitly; rule directories and import semantics are outside this contract.
+
+The user-global file is fixed at `$DSH_HOME/AGENTS.md` and is not affected by `instructionFileCandidates`. `$DSH_HOME` defaults to `~/.dsh`, matching the harness-level home role of `~/.codex` or `~/.claude` rather than introducing a plugin-specific home. Tilde expansion and the default live in `dsh-paths` so future harness features share the same convention.
+
+### Baseline Prefix
+
+On the first request of an agent-loop instance, the plugin contributes one user-role message through `agent/session-prefix`. It loads the user-global file first, then finds the project root by walking upward from `agent.session.header.cwd` to a configured root marker (default `.git`), then loads one candidate from each directory from the root to the cwd. A `.git` file and a `.git` directory are both valid markers, covering linked worktrees and submodules. Without a marker, the cwd itself is the root.
+
+The plugin prepends its contribution before `await next()` returns, so session-prefix contributions appear in plugin registration order. In the product spine workspace instructions are registered before a skills catalog and therefore appear first. The loop deep-freezes the composed prefix, logs it in `EpochHeader.messagePrefix`, and reuses it verbatim for that instance. It is request state, not `Session.deriveMessages()` history.
+
+A resumed agent creates a new loop instance and recomposes the baseline from current files, with the new prefix anchored by the resume request header. This permits current baseline content on resume without mutating a prefix already used by an earlier instance.
+
+The baseline is a user-role `<system-reminder>` with `Instructions from: <path>` sections and explicit authority and precedence language. This familiar model-facing frame avoids a harness-specific XML vocabulary. Project paths are root-relative and the user-global path is `~/.dsh/AGENTS.md` for the default home or `$DSH_HOME/AGENTS.md` for a configured home. A literal `</system-reminder>` inside file content is escaped. The package README owns the exact current [prompt shape](../../../../packages/context/workspace-context/README.md#prompt-shape).
+
+### Dynamic Discovery And Refresh
+
+After a successful first-party `read`, `write`, or `edit` call, the `tools/post-execute` listener reconciles the touched descendant chain and every scope already known to the session. A newly reached scope is returned through `additionalContexts` for the next request using an `Additional instructions from: <path>` system-reminder. Under Code Mode, `run_code` defers sub-dispatch contexts onto its outer result, so the same update is appended only after the parent result rather than being injected mid-call.
+
+A content edit appends `Updated instructions from: <path>`, states that the new content replaces the previous content, and includes the complete current file. If precedence changes from one candidate to another, the message also names the previous path and says it no longer applies. If no candidate remains, the plugin appends `Instructions removed: <path>` and states that the previously loaded instructions no longer apply.
+
+Dynamic messages use a raw `context/message` envelope because the plugin owns the complete system-reminder framing. Core context injection therefore supports `envelope: 'raw'`; callers that omit it retain the canonical `<context source="...">` wrapper. `context/message.meta` carries opaque JSON state that is persisted but never rendered to the model.
+
+Shell commands are not discovery triggers. Local bash calls start fresh shells, and inferring reached paths from arbitrary command strings would require shell semantics the prompt plugin does not own.
+
+### Duplicate Suppression And Change Detection
+
+Every dynamic workspace context event stores versioned metadata with `{ action, scope, path, previousPath?, digest? }`, where `digest` is SHA-1 over the loaded content. The model-facing prompt has no HTML comments, hidden markers, or headings that are parsed back into state.
+
+At reconciliation time the plugin scans plugin-owned `context/message` events and derives the latest state for each visible scope. A short per-session pending map begins only after the immutable top-level `tools/result` proves an `additionalContexts` entry survived every post-execute listener, then covers the interval before the loop appends that context to the log. Each entry records the open `{ turn, step }`: an equal durable `context/message` at or after its sequence boundary confirms and removes it, while a matching `step/end` arriving first means the loop discarded its context buffer, so the plugin removes both the pending entry and its version-cache fast path. A nested Code Mode result stages its changes under the parent's opaque execution token so repeated sub-dispatches in one run do not duplicate them; the parent result rolls that provisional state back and commits only contexts retained by outer policy.
+
+An unchanged path and digest is suppressed. A logged removal is a tombstone, so a reappearing candidate becomes a new `set`. Resume works from persisted metadata. If compaction removes an instruction event from the visible surface, that state no longer suppresses a later load, matching the fact that the model can no longer see it. Only changes actually included under the byte budget enter metadata or pending state, so an omitted file remains eligible on a later touch.
+
+The frozen baseline keeps an in-memory path/digest map for comparison. A later successful filesystem touch appends baseline edits or removals as dynamic messages; it never rewrites the prefix. During resumed prefix composition the plugin also reconciles visible dynamic scopes, so nested changes made while the agent was offline can append an update before the first resumed request.
+
+There is intentionally no watcher. Detection occurs at the next successful structured filesystem touch or resumed prefix composition. A provider failure produces no removal; absence is only accepted when all configured candidates in that scope were probed successfully.
+
+### Byte Budget And Bounded Reads
+
+`maxBytes` is required and applies separately to a rendered baseline or one dynamic reconciliation batch; there is no implicit or unbounded render budget. Non-positive and non-finite values disable loading. When content exceeds the budget, broader files are omitted before the most-specific file is truncated. A visible `Workspace instruction budget ...` notice names omitted and truncated paths and byte counts, and output never exceeds the configured bytes.
+
+`maxSourceBytes` is a positive per-file cap with a 1 MiB default. The loader checks reported size before reading and still consumes content through `streamText()` with a running UTF-8 byte count, so missing/stale metadata cannot force an unbounded allocation. An oversized winning candidate is unavailable rather than a reason to fall through to another same-directory name. The plugin deliberately keeps no process-wide cache and never retains instruction prose. It keeps only `{ path, version, digest }` per effective scope in a `WeakMap<Session, Map<scope, state>>`: a matching provider `FsVersion` plus matching effective prompt state skips the read, while a changed version triggers a bounded read and SHA-1 confirmation. SHA-1 remains the cross-provider content identity persisted in visible structured metadata; provider versions are only an in-memory invalidation fast path. Cache transitions for model-visible changes commit only when the corresponding context survives the complete tool-result policy chain, and are invalidated if that accepted context is later dropped with its aborted step before reaching the log.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Use a global `ctx.systemPrompt.section()`.** Rejected because one Cordis context can host sessions with different cwd values, while repository-owned text is lower-authority context rather than top-authority provider system content.
+
+**Inject the baseline on every `agent/pre-step`.** Rejected because repeated history injection wastes tokens, complicates duplicate state, and prevents a structurally stable provider prefix. Prefix composition gives a frozen, logged, per-instance baseline while dynamic append-only messages handle changes.
+
+**Load both `AGENTS.md` and `CLAUDE.md` in one directory.** Rejected because repositories in transition commonly duplicate guidance across both files. Ordered candidates make precedence explicit and configurable.
+
+**Parse rendered headings or hidden comments to recover loaded state.** Rejected because instruction prose can contain the same text, causing silent false positives. Persisted JSON metadata provides an unambiguous state channel that is invisible to the model.
+
+**Summarize files with a model.** Rejected because instruction files are already curated summaries; another model call is nondeterministic and can erase edge-case requirements. Deterministic full text with byte budgeting is simpler.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Workspace guidance is isolated per session and shared by both product front doors and every tool presentation mode. Initial instructions benefit from stable prefix caching, while nested and changed content remains durable and replayable. The generic session/agent context contract includes optional raw framing and JSON metadata, both 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, delimiter escaping, and symlink rejection reduce risk but do not eliminate prompt injection. Permission and sandbox layers treat workspace files as data rather than authority.
+
+The system is event-driven rather than watch-driven. Edits are not visible at the exact filesystem mutation instant unless that mutation goes through a structured tool; externally changed files are noticed on the next successful structured touch or resume. This keeps the design deterministic and provider-neutral.
+
+## Deferred
+
+Bash-derived path reporting, recursive startup scans, file watchers, lowercase defaults, `.claude/CLAUDE.md`, `.claude/rules/*.md`, import directives, ACP `additionalDirectories`, trust acknowledgements, and model-generated summaries are deferred. Same-directory private variants can be configured today; directory rule systems and imports need their own precedence and trust designs.

Each bridge therefore delegates via `next()` before adding its context to the downstream decision. Both seams carry ordered `additionalContexts` arrays, so the bridge prepends its separately sourced entry while preserving every downstream source, envelope, and metadata field; a downstream prompt block still drops all context because the prompt never reaches the model, while post-tool block semantics may explicitly retain contexts. Code Mode ferries the same array through the outer `run_code` result. Only a real `deny`/`block` from the hook itself short-circuits. Tests assert a later listener can still block a prompt a context-only hook allowed and that retained prompt and post-tool contexts remain separate.

-2. **Post-tool `additionalContext` is buffered and appended AFTER all `tool/result`s.** `content`/`feedback` shape the result `execute()` returns, but `additionalContext` is a SEPARATE `context/message`, and a single step can carry multiple tool calls. Appending context right after each result would interleave `result(c1) → context → result(c2)` and break tool-call/result adjacency. So `execute()` surfaces `additionalContext` on its `ToolExecutionResult`, and the loop buffers every per-call context for the step and appends them as `context/message`(s) only after every `tool/result` is appended.
+2. **Post-tool `additionalContexts` and asynchronous injections enter the active-batch FIFO and append when that batch settles.** `content`/`feedback` shape the result `execute()` returns, but each context is a separate `context/message`, and a single step or composite tool can produce many. Appending context immediately would interleave `result(c1) → context → result(c2)` or place nested context before its outer result, breaking tool-call/result adjacency. `ToolRunContext.deferContext()` therefore collects nested-dispatch context through failures, `execute()` surfaces the ordered array on `ToolExecutionResult`, and the loop accepts it into the same FIFO as `agent.inject()` calls made during execution. The FIFO appends after every recorded result when the batch settles, including before an interrupted turn closes. An accepted outer call preserves deferred contexts before decision contexts; an outer block discards deferred contexts and exposes only contexts explicitly supplied by the blocking decision.
 
 3. **A forced `continue` `reason` is enqueued through the steering channel**, so the next step's top-of-loop drain records it as steering for the continued turn — next-*step* steering within the SAME turn, not a next-*turn* prompt (matching the existing `hasSteering` force-continue override).

Because sibling registration order is not deterministic, a deployment composes one terminal answerer and reserves `prepend` for decide-or-delegate gates.
 
-Answerers are `approval/request` waterfall listeners. A listener returns an outcome for an agent it owns and calls `next()` otherwise. With no answerer, the default is `unavailable`; unloading a UI therefore fails closed without leaving a channel. Because sibling registration order is not deterministic, a deployment composes one terminal answerer and uses `prepend` only for decide-or-delegate gates.
-
-`ApprovalRequest` carries the agent, tool name, optional `callId`, reason, and signal. The agent routes both the prompt and audit events. The request uses `dsh-llm`'s `CallId` without importing `dsh-tools`, avoiding a package cycle. Tool arguments are omitted because UI answerers attach to the already-rendered call.
+`ApprovalRequest` carries the asking `agent`, `toolName`, optional exact `callId`, human-readable `reason`, and optional `signal`. It uses the `CallId` brand without importing `dsh-tools`, which depends on this seam. Tool arguments stay on the already-streamed call that a UI references by `callId`.
 
 #### Ask routing in dsh-tools
 
-`ToolRegistry.execute()` sends `ask` through the approval seam before the deny path. Only `allowed-once` proceeds; rejection, cancellation, and an unavailable channel produce distinct model-visible reasons. The registry looks up the optional service per call, so an absent or unloaded service fails closed without gating the registry fiber. Agent-less execution also fails closed because it cannot be routed or audited.
+`ToolRegistry.execute()` resolves `ask` before dispatch: `allowed-once` proceeds, while rejection, cancellation, and channel absence produce distinct deny reasons. Opportunistic `ctx.get('approval')` consumption lets an absent or unmounted service fail closed without gating the registry fiber. Agent-less execution also fails closed because it has neither an audit session nor a UI owner.
 
 #### The per-session policy tier
 
-The seam owns the session policy `'ask' | 'never'`, following the switching contract in the [sandbox RFC](2026-07-06-sandbox.md). The effective session or config policy is applied before answerers: `'never'` rejects inside `request()`, while `'ask'` dispatches and falls through to `unavailable` when unanswered. The prompt states only deterministic `'never'`; the narrator reports switches, and every request still receives its audit pair.
+The seam also owns the session-scoped `'ask' | 'never'` policy described by [the sandbox RFC](2026-07-06-sandbox.md). Effective policy is folded from logged switches over the deployment default. `'never'` resolves to `rejected` inside `request()` before any answerer can run; `'ask'` dispatches and otherwise falls through to `unavailable`. The prompt states only deterministic `'never'`, switch narration is coalesced, and every request still records the audit pair.
 
 #### The ACP answerer
 
-The ACP bridge finds the owning session, sends `session/request_permission` for the `callId`, and maps one-shot allow, reject, and cancel responses to the seam vocabulary. Unknown selections never grant. Foreign agents and requests without a `callId` delegate via `next()`; RPC failure becomes `unavailable`. The bridge answers requests but does not decide which calls require approval.
+The ACP bridge answers only for an exact agent object owned by its forward session map. It attaches `session/request_permission` to the existing `callId`, advertises one-shot allow/reject options, maps cancellation separately, and never grants an unknown option. Foreign or call-less requests delegate; a failed client RPC becomes `unavailable`. Hooks and `tools/pre-execute` decide whether a call asks at all.
 
-The answerer routes through the bridge's reverse-map ownership seam described by [the ACP support RFC](../../implemented/feature/2026-06-14-acp-agent-client-protocol.md), implementing the per-session permission ownership required by [the multi-session RFC](../../implemented/feature/2026-06-14-acp-multi-session.md).

 #### Audit, and what the model sees
 
-`approval/asked` and `approval/decided` are durable log-only events. The model sees only the asker's logged `tool/result`. Every accepted request appends one matching decision, including cancellation and contained answerer failures.
+`approval/asked` and `approval/decided` are durable log-only events; the model sees only the ordinary tool result derived from the outcome. Successful completion commits one `decided` per `asked`, including cancellation and contained answerer failure. Idle requests append neither event; a pre-commit failure rejects, while failure of the second append can leave an already-committed `asked` unmatched.
 
 #### Entities and dependencies
 
-`dsh-user-approval` owns the fixed dispatch-and-audit mechanism; `dsh-tools` asks and `dsh-acp` answers. Replaceable answerers remain listeners in their channel-owning plugins, so a three-package capability split would add an empty implementation layer. Sandbox executors remain transport-only, and static capability grants remain separate from interactive approval.
+`dsh-user-approval` depends on Cordis plus the session, agent, and branded-call contracts; `dsh-tools` and `dsh-acp` consume it. The sandbox executor stays independent because `dsh-tool-bash` owns escalation requests. The fixed dispatch-and-audit service remains one package; replaceable answerers live with their channel owners. Static capability grants and `subagent-acp` child-side permission answers remain separate concerns.
 
 ### Testing

 Costs and accepted limits:

 - **Production exercise rests on one composition.** `ask` has two producer families — the hook bridges through `tools/pre-execute`, and sandbox escalation through its own gate — with the wire recorded in the sandbox example's snapshot suite, so the seam's real-world coverage is that one composition until more deployments compose it.

 - A misspelled or unloaded tool name in `toolOrder` fails the turn at prompt assembly, not the boot: the loop assembles inside the turn (after `turn/start`, before `step/start`), so the rejection reaches the turn's outer catch — the turn closes balanced with an `error` reason carrying the message, `agent/error` mirrors it, no step opens, no `request/header` is logged, no request reaches the adapter, and the agent returns to idle. Every turn fails identically until the config is fixed; the process itself stays up (matching the repo rule that explicit config references must not be silently ignored — the enforcement point is the assembly because no earlier universal moment exists).
 - A tool provider that returns the reserved rest-entry name has the same prompt-assembly failure shape as an unknown listed name. This keeps the sentinel from becoming an ambiguous real tool and preserves the "never drops a tool" ordering contract.

 - **Request-only, header-logged.** `deriveMessages()` never returns the prefix; its one durable record is `EpochHeader.messagePrefix` on the instance's anchoring `request/header` snapshot — the channel the reconstructable-requests RFC already owns for the request's non-history half, so no new session event exists.

 - **Exact in the durable request envelope.** Composition precedes the instance's first `agent/pre-step` and request boundary. The first routed request logs the current prefix on its header, so post-step token pressure reads the exact prefix together with the actual prompt, tools, and routed model; no compaction-only parameter is carried through the generic pre-step seam. A composition interrupted by cancel/dispose is discarded, never cached: an abort-aware listener's degraded fallback cannot leak into later requests, and the next turn recomposes under a live signal.
 
 Because composition runs before the boundary snapshot, a composing listener's session append joins the CURRENT request's derived history. Compaction structurally cannot touch the prefix (or the system prompt): it rewrites surface nodes, and header state never enters the surface.

 ### Reminder delivery
 
-Reminders use `additionalContext` with the plugin source, preserving the original `tool/result`. The first threshold emits a short nudge; later thresholds include the tool, count, and a bounded argument preview while comparison still uses the full canonical string. Existing downstream context is concatenated under the guard's source because `HookContext` supports one source.
+Reminders ride `additionalContexts` as their own entries (source `{kind: 'plugin', plugin: 'repeat-tool-guard'}` — the label is load-bearing per `HookContext`), never a `content` replacement: the `tool/result` event stays the tool's own output for audit, and the loop appends buffered contexts as `context/message`s after the step's results, which the session renders as tagged synthetic-user envelopes and derived history replays. Thresholds escalate: the first configured threshold gets a short "you are repeating yourself, analyze the previous result" nudge; each later threshold gets the detailed form naming the tool, the repeat count, and the canonical arguments (head-truncated at `argumentsPreviewChars`, default 500 — a looping `write`-sized payload must not ride into the next request unbounded; the chain key always compares the full canonical string), and stating that the calls made no progress. The pi original hardcodes the gentle text to the literal count 3; the guard keys it to `thresholds[0]`, fixing that bug in the port. A downstream hook bridge contribution remains a separate array entry, so both plugins retain their source, envelope, and metadata.

+# RFC: Bash-backed grep and glob discovery tools
+
+Status: implemented
+
+## Problem
+
+The harness needs model-facing `glob` and `grep` tools, but making them `ctx.fs` provider methods turns a local product convenience into a universal filesystem backend contract. Local workspace discovery is naturally a process-backed `rg` workflow; remote or virtual filesystem backends may expose their own search API, may not share a local `ripgrep` view, or may not support discovery at all. The v1 should not require every filesystem backend to implement search before the file read/write/edit seam has proven that need.
+
+Search output also has two distinct budgets. The tool needs enough raw `rg` output to compute a stable logical result, but the model should receive only a bounded preview plus a recovery path when the formatted result is larger than the inline budget. The generic spill policy only sees the final tool result, so it cannot recover matches that a search tool already omitted. Search therefore needs tool-owned retention and best-effort formatted-result spill.
+
+## Decision
+
+`glob` and `grep` are model-facing tools in `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-fs-search`, backed by the bash seam, not by new `ctx.fs` provider methods. The package registers model-facing filesystem discovery tools, but execution uses `ctx.bash.resolve(request)` followed by `ctx.bash.run(spec)` with fixed `rg` command templates assembled by the tool. The tool layer owns schemas, argument validation, shell quoting, result parsing, result formatting, retention, formatted-result spill handoff, and timeout declaration. The bash executor owns request defaulting/capping, subprocess execution, process-group termination, environment scrubbing, raw output capture, and backend substitution across local, sandboxed, or remote bash implementations.
+
+The tools do not use `ctx.bash.start()` and do not create model-visible background tasks. They run as ordinary foreground tools from the agent loop's perspective: the tool call returns only after the `rg` command exits, times out, is aborted, or fails. `defineTool({ timeoutMs })` declares the cooperative tool-call budget, `@deepseek-ai/dsh-timeout-policy` enforces it through `exec.signal`, and the tool forwards that signal into the bash request before `resolve()` / `run()`. The bash backend's own timeout remains a second safety cap; whichever aborts first wins.
+
+The tools align `path` with Claude Code's search tools while binding resolution to the bash workdir, not to `ctx.fs`. The tool derives the bash request workdir from `exec.agent?.session.header.cwd`, mirroring `dsh-tool-bash` and `dsh-tool-fs`; when no session cwd exists, it omits `request.workdir` so the bash implementation applies its configured cwd or process cwd through `resolve()`. For `grep`, `path` is an optional ripgrep target and may be a file or directory; omitted means the resolved bash workdir. For `glob`, `path` is an optional directory search root; omitted means the resolved bash workdir. Relative `path` values resolve against that workdir. Returned paths are displayed relative to the resolved bash workdir when possible and are intended to be follow-up-readable only in co-located deployments where the bash workdir and filesystem `read` root are the same workspace. v1 documents that deployment requirement but does not perform runtime cross-service validation. Remote or virtual filesystem search is deferred until there is a shared workspace/root contract or a provider-specific search backend.
+
+The package does not inject `fs`. It injects `tools`, `systemPrompt`, and `bash`; it deliberately reads `spillStore` with `ctx.get('spillStore')` instead of static inject because formatted-result spill is optional. Existing `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-fs` deployments that only want `read` / `write` / `edit` do not need to load bash.
+
+### Package shape
+
+The v1 package stays small. Inside `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-fs-search`, the source layout is:
+
+```text
+src/index.ts
+src/glob.ts
+src/grep.ts
+src/search-core.ts
+src/shell-quote.ts
+```
+
+`glob.ts` and `grep.ts` own their parameter validation, command construction, result parsing, formatting, and registration. `shell-quote.ts` is one shared helper because shell quoting is the safety boundary both tools must use; `search-core.ts` is the other (an implementation-time amendment to the original four-file plan): the `SEARCH_*` error vocabulary, the bash-run + raw-output acquisition, the formatted-spill handoff, and workdir-relative display are byte-identical between the two tools, and duplicating that delicate plumbing per tool is exactly the missed extraction the symmetry convention flags. Command builders must not hand-roll quoting or concatenate unquoted model-controlled values into the shell command.
+
+### Schemas and config
+
+`glob` exposes the small discovery shape:
+
+```ts
+interface GlobArgs {
+  pattern: string
+  path?: string
+}
+```
+
+`grep` exposes the OpenCode-style minimal shape:
+
+```ts
+interface GrepArgs {
+  pattern: string
+  path?: string
+  include?: string
+}
+```
+
+Routine budgets stay out of the model-facing schema. `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-fs-search` owns these defaulted, validated config fields:
+
+| Field | Default | Role |
+|---|---:|---|
+| `globMaxResults` | `100` | Max paths retained inline; matches Claude Code's default `GlobTool` result limit. |
+| `grepMaxMatches` | `250` | Max flat matches retained inline; matches Claude Code's default `GrepTool` `head_limit`. |
+| `grepMaxLineBytes` | `2000` | Max bytes retained for one matched-line preview, applied with `TextRetainer({ kind: 'head', maxBytes: grepMaxLineBytes })`. |
+| `rawOutputMaxBytes` | `20000000` | Max complete raw `rg` stdout the tool will parse; matches Claude Code's ripgrep raw buffer. |
+| `timeoutMs` | `30000` | Tool-call timeout attached to both tool definitions and enforced by `@deepseek-ai/dsh-timeout-policy`. |
+
+`globMaxResults` and `grepMaxMatches` use `ItemRetainer({ kind: 'head' })`. `grepMaxLineBytes` uses `TextRetainer({ kind: 'head', maxBytes: grepMaxLineBytes })` for each matched line so preview cuts preserve UTF-8 boundaries. This follows the [tool result retention library](../../implemented/architecture/2026-07-06-tool-result-retention-library.md) mapping for discovery items: collect the complete result, retain head items inline, and keep path mapping, grouping, and per-line preview outside the retainer. `grep` does not expose `case_insensitive`, `head_limit`, `offset`, `count`, multiline, context lines, output modes, or file type filters in v1. A model that needs surrounding context reads the matched file with `read`; a model that needs later results follows the returned spill locator's retrieval hint.
+
+The Claude Code values are reference points for the two-layer budget, not model-facing schema precedent. Its dedicated search tools buffer raw ripgrep output up to 20 MB for internal processing, use a 20-second ripgrep timeout on non-WSL platforms (60 seconds on WSL), then apply search-specific caps before the model sees a result: `GrepTool` defaults to `head_limit = 250` and persists formatted results above 20,000 characters, while `GlobTool` defaults to 100 paths and persists formatted results above 100,000 characters. This RFC mirrors the raw-buffer and inline-count defaults, chooses a 30-second default search timeout, and uses this harness's `ctx.spillStore.saveText()` path for formatted-result recovery.
+
+The `path` field follows the same split as Claude Code: `grep.path` is a file-or-directory ripgrep target, while `glob.path` is a directory search root. v1 does not expose a separate cwd/workdir argument on these tools.
+
+`include` is one positive glob filter, not a list and not an exclude syntax. Reject comma-separated or negated include patterns up front with a structured argument error. Every model-controlled value used in a shell command, including `pattern`, `path`, and `include`, must pass through the package-private shell quoting helper.
+
+### Execution
+
+`glob` builds a fixed `rg --files` command rooted at the resolved directory search root (`path` when supplied, else the bash workdir): `rg --files --glob <pattern> --sort=modified --no-ignore --hidden`, plus VCS metadata excludes for `.git`, `.svn`, `.hg`, `.bzr`, `.jj`, and `.sl`. This aligns with Claude Code on hidden/ignored-file discovery and modified-time ordering while keeping VCS internals out of broad searches. The tool parses one path per line, maps results back to paths relative to the bash workdir when possible, pushes each path into `ItemRetainer({ kind: 'head', maxItems: globMaxResults })`, and formats the full sorted path list for a spill artifact when the retained result is capped.
+
+`grep` builds a fixed line-oriented `rg --json` command against the supplied file/directory target (`path` when supplied, else the bash workdir) so file path, line number, and line text are parsed without colon-splitting ambiguity. It consumes `match` records, treats malformed JSON or malformed match records as `SEARCH_FAILED`, maps result paths relative to the bash workdir when possible, applies per-line preview retention with `grepMaxLineBytes`, pushes each match into `ItemRetainer({ kind: 'head', maxItems: grepMaxMatches })`, then groups only the retained preview matches by file for inline output. The spill artifact stores the full formatted match list, not only the omitted tail, so the retrieval hint points at the same logical result the model saw.
+
+Raw `rg` stdout is an internal transport detail. The tool requests `stdoutMaxBytes: rawOutputMaxBytes` through `ctx.bash.resolve()` and parses `stdout.text` only when the executor returns untruncated stdout within that cap. If stdout is larger than `rawOutputMaxBytes`, or the executor still returns `stdout.truncated`, the tool fails with a clear search error telling the model to narrow `pattern`, `path`, or `include`. The tool never exposes raw `rg` output or bash raw spill paths to the model.
+
+Only stdout is a parse source. Stderr is diagnostic text for invalid patterns, missing `rg`, and search failures; if bash truncates stderr, the tool uses the retained stderr tail with a truncation note and does not read `stderr.spillPath`.
+
+If `ctx.bash.run()` reports `aborted` because the tool timeout or caller cancellation fired, the tool returns a structured failure rather than pretending there were no matches. If bash reports its own timeout first, the tool likewise fails with a clear timeout message. Nonzero ripgrep exit semantics are tool-owned: exit 0 is success with matches, exit 1 is success with no matches, invalid pattern / missing `rg` / inaccessible search workdir are failures.
+
+Search failures use a package-owned `HarnessError` subclass with `SEARCH_*` codes, not `FsErrorCode`, because these tools are not `ctx.fs` provider operations. The v1 vocabulary is `SEARCH_INVALID_PATTERN`, `SEARCH_FAILED`, `SEARCH_RAW_OUTPUT_OVERFLOW`, and `SEARCH_ABORTED`. Model argument validation failures such as missing required fields, blank strings, or unsupported negated/list `include` values remain ordinary tool argument errors.
+
+### Formatted result spill
+
+`ctx.spillStore` is optional and used only for model-facing formatted results. This is the first tool-owned spill call pattern in the codebase, and it is intentional because search retention is item-level policy: `globMaxResults` caps paths and `grepMaxMatches` caps matches while the tool still holds the complete logical result. The generic `dsh-spill-policy` caps final text bytes on `tools/post-execute`; by then a search tool would already have omitted later paths or matches, so the policy cannot recover them.
+
+When a search produces more logical results than the inline cap and `ctx.spillStore` is present, the tool saves the complete formatted result with `saveText()`. The spill owner is the calling agent's session header id (`exec.agent?.session.header.id`); without that owner, the search keeps the inline result and reports that the complete result could not be saved. The spill source is the tool execution identity: `{ toolName: exec.name, callId: exec.callId, label: 'result' }`. The suggested filenames are `grep-results.txt` and `glob-results.txt`; the spill backend still treats them as hints, never paths.
+
+When spill storage is absent, the call has no session owner, or saving fails, the tool still returns the inline page and a footer explaining that the complete result could not be saved. Search success must not turn into an `isError` result solely because formatted-result spill storage is unavailable.
+
+The bash raw output stream and the formatted search spill artifact are different artifacts. Raw `rg` stdout is parsed only in memory within the requested bash stdout cap; the formatted spill artifact is the stable model-facing recovery locator produced by `ctx.spillStore.saveText()`.
+
+### Result shape
+
+A capped `glob` result with successful formatted spill returns the inline page and a spill notice:
+
+```text
+<first N paths>
+
+(Showing N of M paths. Full sorted result stored at: /.../session-abc123/9f8e7d-glob-results.txt. Use read with offset/limit, or grep this path to search within it.)
+```
+
+A capped `grep` result with successful formatted spill returns grouped preview matches and a spill notice:
+
+```text
+Found N of M matches
+
+<file>
+Line 12: ...
+
+(Full grep result stored at: /.../session-abc123/9f8e7d-grep-results.txt. Use read with offset/limit, or grep this path to search within it.)
+```
+
+If the complete logical result fits under the inline cap, no formatted spill artifact is created. If the complete logical result is too large but formatted spill is unavailable, the footer says that the result was capped and the complete result could not be saved. The `truncated` / omitted count is a budget fact, not an incomplete-search fact; timeout, invalid regex, missing `rg`, inaccessible workdirs, raw-output overflow, binary skips, and parse failures stay in tool-domain error or incomplete fields.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Put `glob` / `grep` on `ctx.fs`.** Rejected for v1: it forces every filesystem backend to grow a search API and makes local ripgrep behavior part of the provider seam. Search is useful product behavior, but it is not a universal text-storage primitive like `readText` or `writeText`.
+
+**Directly spawn ripgrep from `dsh-fs-local`.** Rejected for this RFC's v1: direct spawn gives the cleanest argv boundary, stdout/stderr control, and early-stop control, but it duplicates process execution concerns that the bash seam already owns: environment scrubbing, process-group kill, timeout propagation, sandbox/remote executor substitution, and bounded output capture. It remains a reasonable optimization if bash-backed search proves too shell-string-sensitive or if foreground streaming becomes necessary.
+
+**Use `ctx.bash.start()` for streaming early stop.** Rejected: `start()` creates model-visible background task semantics: task ids, owner tokens, `bash_output`, `bash_kill`, completion notifications, and no built-in timeout. `grep` needs a foreground tool result, not a background bash workflow. If streaming search becomes necessary, the right abstraction is a foreground streaming process handle on the bash/process seam, not borrowing the public background-task API.
+
+**Expose bash raw spill paths to the model.** Rejected: a bash raw spill path contains raw `rg` stdout (`rg --json` records for grep), not the stable formatted search result. Search parses raw stdout only as an internal transport; model recovery uses a formatted result saved through `ctx.spillStore.saveText()`.
+
+**Add `spillStore.saveFile()` for bash output normalization first.** Rejected for this RFC's v1: `saveFile()` would help a future bash normalization pass move existing executor spill files into session-scoped spill storage, but search only needs bounded in-memory raw `rg` stdout before producing the model-facing artifact. `saveText()` is sufficient for the formatted search result.
+
+**Rely on the generic `dsh-spill-policy`.** Rejected: generic post-execute spill sees only the final tool result. If `grep` / `glob` return the first page inline, the generic policy cannot recover omitted results. The search tools must save the complete formatted result themselves before returning the bounded model-facing text.
+
+**Expose Claude Code's full `GrepTool` schema.** Rejected for v1: `output_mode`, context flags, multiline, `head_limit`, `offset`, `case_insensitive`, and type filters make the model-facing surface into a ripgrep wrapper. This harness keeps routine budgets and continuation mechanics in deployment policy and spill artifacts.
+
+**Keep early-stop search and skip formatted spill artifacts.** Rejected for this proposal: early stop is more efficient but gives the model no path to inspect later results. The chosen v1 optimizes result recoverability and implementation simplicity, with `timeoutMs`, `rawOutputMaxBytes`, bash backend caps, and formatted spill artifacts as safety backstops.
+
+**Expand the bash seam with a raw-output reader first.** Rejected: a portable `readRawOutput(ref, maxBytes)` API would add reference lifetime, permission, and backend storage semantics. A per-run `stdoutMaxBytes` request is the narrower seam: search either receives complete stdout within `rawOutputMaxBytes` or fails clearly.
+
+## Testing
+
+- Tests prove an aborted `exec.signal` reaches the bash backend (same-reference spec assertion plus the `SEARCH_ABORTED` result), and cover command construction/quoting (malicious patterns, paths with spaces, leading-dash values, quotes, newlines, glob metacharacters — unit assertions plus a real `bash -c` round-trip for every hostile value), `grep.path` as file and directory targets, `glob.path` as a directory search root, invalid pattern handling, no matches, malformed `rg --json` output, matched-line preview truncation, raw-output overflow, timeout/abort, formatted spill success/failure, the package-owned `SEARCH_*` error codes, and the no-background-task invariant.
+- The first-party tool-owned spill precedent is covered directly: spill backend present, spill backend absent, `saveText()` failure, and missing spill owner.
+- The package has real Loader-path coverage for the namespace plugin export shape (`name`, `inject`, `Config`, and `apply`, with no default export).
+- A real-executor integration suite (`dsh-bash-local` + a real `rg`) verifies the world: hostile patterns stay inert, per-session cwd resolution, VCS-metadata exclusion, modification-time ordering, and real ripgrep stderr classification. It self-skips where `rg` is not on PATH (a CI accommodation mirroring the keyless e2e skip); the fake-executor suite alone carries the per-file 100% coverage gate.
+- Snapshot gap note for the transcript-visible spill notice: this landed with the gap note, not a snapshot. The snapshot tier replays the acp-agent tree, and adding the search plugin there changes the assembled system prompt — every golden would need re-recording with a real key, which the implementing environment did not hold. The spill notice's exact transcript text is pinned by unit tests (`formatGlobOutput`/`formatGrepOutput` and the through-the-registry spill tests); wiring the plugin into the acp-agent tree plus a `test:snapshot:record` pass is the follow-up for the next key-holding session.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- `glob` and `grep` are model-facing tools in `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-fs-search`, not `ctx.fs` provider methods and not part of the existing `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-fs` root plugin. The package injects `tools`, `systemPrompt`, and `bash`; it does not inject `fs`, and `ctx.spillStore` stays optional via `ctx.get('spillStore')`.
+- The schemas are exactly `glob(pattern, path?)` and `grep(pattern, path?, include?)`; search caps and timeout are defaulted, validated Config fields (`globMaxResults`, `grepMaxMatches`, `grepMaxLineBytes`, `rawOutputMaxBytes`, `timeoutMs`).
+- The tools execute through `ctx.bash.resolve(request)` → `ctx.bash.run(spec)`, forward `exec.signal`, never call `ctx.bash.start()`, and never expose a bash task id. The bash request workdir comes from `exec.agent?.session.header.cwd` when available; the resolved `spec.workdir` drives execution and relative-path display.
+- The tools request `stdoutMaxBytes: rawOutputMaxBytes` from the bash seam, parse only untruncated stdout within that cap, and treat over-cap or still-truncated raw output as a clear search failure; raw `rg` output is never exposed to the model.
+- Oversized complete formatted results are saved through `ctx.spillStore.saveText()` when available while inline results stay bounded; spill failure, a missing backend, or a missing owner preserves the inline result and reports the unsaved remainder — never an `isError`.
+- The package README, the generated config catalog, and exported JSDoc document the Config fields and `SEARCH_*` codes; the coding-agent example ships the tools (the acp-agent tree waits on the snapshot re-record above); the fs group README records the co-located bash/filesystem deployment requirement.
+
+## Risks
+
+Full-run `grep` can be slower than an early-stop search on broad patterns. The v1 accepts that cost for simpler implementation and complete-result recovery, bounded by tool timeout, bash timeout, `rawOutputMaxBytes`, and output caps. If this proves too slow, the direct-ripgrep or foreground-streaming alternatives remain available.
+
+Shell command construction is the sharpest safety edge. Because `ctx.bash` accepts a command string rather than an argv vector, the implementation must centralize shell quoting and test malicious patterns, paths with spaces, leading-dash patterns, quotes, newlines, and glob metacharacters.
+
+The v1 assumes a co-located bash/filesystem deployment. If bash searches one workspace and the `read` tool resolves paths against another, returned paths may not be follow-up-readable. The package documents this requirement but does not verify it at runtime.
+
+Spill locators are backend-owned. The current local backend returns local filesystem paths and works in deployments where `read`/`grep` can open those files; remote or workspace-confined deployments can use a backend whose locator and retrieval hint point at a supported retrieval mechanism.

+# RFC: Expose agent session identity and JSONL location to tools and hooks
+
+Status: implemented
+
+## Problem
+
+An agent can identify its workspace through `session.header.cwd`, but a model using bash cannot reliably identify the session that owns the call or the durable transcript that records it. Searching `./.sessions` guesses deployment config and JSONL layout; custom roots, alternate persistence backends, resume, forks, and concurrent parent/child agents make that guess unreliable. Hooks have the same need for transcript location, while future plugins may need to expose other harness-owned environment facts to shell commands.
+
+The boundary must preserve two properties: the owner of a fact decides how to resolve it, and every child receives a per-execution snapshot rather than process-global mutable state. In particular, a nested harness must not leak its ambient `DSH_*` values into a child whose current agent, persistence backend, or configuration differs.
+
+## Decision
+
+Extend the [`SessionPersistence`](../../implemented/architecture/2026-06-14-session-persistence.md) seam with a synchronous, side-effect-free location query:
+
+```ts
+import type { SessionHeader } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-session'
+
+interface SessionLocation {
+  readonly kind: string
+  readonly path: string
+}
+
+interface SessionPersistence {
+  locate(meta: SessionHeader): SessionLocation | undefined
+}
+```
+
+`path` is an absolute local path to the backend's dedicated log for `meta`; `kind` identifies the representation. JSONL returns `{ kind: 'jsonl', path }` using its resolved root and path helpers. SQLite and any backend without an honest local per-session artifact return `undefined`. The query creates and flushes nothing, so it can report a lazy target path before that file exists.
+
+The model-facing bash package owns a `ctx.bashEnv` registry. A contributor declares its stable name, every `DSH_*` key it may return, a description for each key, and `resolve(execution: ToolExecution)`. Duplicate contributor names, duplicate key ownership, reserved keys, malformed declarations, undeclared runtime output, and non-string output fail loudly. Registration is a Cordis effect and is removed with the contributing plugin fiber. `list()` exposes declarations without running resolvers, keeping the environment surface enumerable for diagnostics and future prompt/UI consumers.
+
+The registry rebuilds a trusted overlay for every foreground and background bash `ToolExecution`:
+
+- `DSH_HOME` is always the absolute configured Harness home. The standalone [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-home`](../../../../packages/util/home/README.md) utility owns its precedence: explicit `dshHome`, then ambient `$DSH_HOME`, then `~/.dsh`.
+- `DSH_SHELL=1` is always present and identifies a model bash child managed by DeepSeek Harness.
+- `DSH_SESSION_ID` is present when the execution has an agent and equals `agent.session.header.id`.
+- The built-in persistence translator contributes `DSH_SESSION_JSONL` only when `ctx.sessionPersistence.locate(header)` returns `kind: 'jsonl'`.
+
+Session persistence remains the fact owner: JSONL does not depend on tool-bash or register shell variables itself, and hooks continue to consume `locate()` directly. Tool-bash is the translation layer from the persistence fact into a shell convention. Other plugins that need shell-visible facts depend on the registry and register their own keys; they do not modify `process.env`.
+
+The bash seam exports `DSH_ENV_PREFIX` as the single namespace source and derives `DshEnvironmentKey` from its `typeof`. Tool-bash derives built-in names and model guidance from that constant, while executors use it for filtering and channel validation. The seam carries the managed overlay separately as `BashExecRequest.dshEnv` / `BashExecSpec.dshEnv`. Ordinary `env` remains the general in-process plugin surface used by hooks, but cannot contain managed keys; symmetrically, `dshEnv` cannot contain ordinary keys. The local executor rejects either wrong channel before spawn, removes every inherited ambient managed key, applies its ordinary scrub/terminal environment/explicit `env`, and finally merges the trusted `dshEnv` snapshot. This guarantees that a missing value means absent now rather than inherited from an outer or previous harness. The model-facing tool still ignores model-supplied `env`/`stdin` arguments.
+
+The bash tool description teaches only the durable convention: current harness environment facts are available through managed `$DSH_*` variables and may be inspected when needed. It does not enumerate persistence-specific keys or add a permanent system-prompt section. Tool schemas are already logged in request headers and tool output is logged as `tool/result`, so no new session event is required.
+
+The [Claude Code and Codex hook bridges](../../implemented/feature/2026-06-30-hook-bridges.md) resolve transcript location from the same persistence seam when constructing payloads. Codex uses `transcript_path: string | null`; Claude Code preserves its string field and falls back to `''`. Hook lookup neither materializes nor flushes a session.
+
+## Peer product findings
+
+Peer products separate stable identity from physical storage. Codex injects stable `CODEX_THREAD_ID` into spawned shells while recorder and hook surfaces own transcript paths. Claude Code supplies `session_id` and `transcript_path` as structured hook/status input. OpenCode carries identity in structured tool context; Kimi Code expands a session placeholder; Reasonix keeps the active session path on its controller. The portable rule is to inject identity at the invocation boundary, let storage resolve location, and never use a process-global current-session variable in a concurrent harness.
+
+## Lifecycle and persistence semantics
+
+A fresh session receives its id before the first turn, so its first bash call can read `DSH_SESSION_ID` and a JSONL target. The JSONL file may still be absent until the first successful turn-end checkpoint, and during an open turn it contains only the last flushed prefix. `DSH_SESSION_JSONL` is a location hint, not an authorization credential or freshness guarantee.
+
+Resume reuses the loaded header and therefore the same id and location. Fork and spawn create new session ids and locations. Parent and child calls resolve from their own `ToolExecution.agent`; each command receives an immutable snapshot even when calls overlap. A persistence service replacement affects later collections because the translator queries `ctx.get('sessionPersistence')` at execution time; the registry itself is effect-scoped and HMR-safe.
+
+`dshHome` is session-independent deployment context. Agent-core resolves one value through `@deepseek-ai/dsh-home` and routes it to both tool-bash and local skill discovery; standalone consumers call the same resolver. If top-level `dshHome` and `skills.local.dshHome` are both supplied and resolve differently, composition fails instead of exposing contradictory homes. Persistence may change independently without freezing its facts into the session prefix.
+
+## Testing
+
+Unit coverage pins registry declaration validation, effect disposal, per-execution collection, the `dshHome` precedence, and the local executor's `DSH_*` scrub/rebuild order. Request-recording tests cover foreground/background snapshots, no-agent calls, absent/JSONL persistence, ignored model `env`, and parent/child isolation. JSONL/SQLite locator contract tests and both hook bridge suites pin available and unavailable transcript dialects.
+
+A keyless full-loop integration drives the real agent loop, JSONL persistence, tool-bash, and bash-local on the first turn. The child prints `DSH_HOME`, `DSH_SHELL`, session id, JSONL target, and an inherited stale sentinel; the test verifies current values, absence of the stale variable, pre-flush file absence, and the eventual persisted header. Snapshot coverage pins the generic bash description in the recorded request header. No with-key test is required because the contract is deterministic local execution rather than model choice.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Only an id plus `find`.** Search cannot know a custom root or backend layout and races under multiple sessions.
+
+**Only an absolute path.** A path can be unavailable, lazy, or representation-specific and is not stable session identity.
+
+**Global `process.env`.** Concurrent agents would overwrite one another and nested harnesses would inherit stale current-session values.
+
+**Put persistence instructions in the session prefix.** A session prefix is frozen while the active service can change across HMR or future backend switching; persistence-specific guidance would become stale.
+
+**A typed waterfall event.** Listeners cannot declare ownership without running, and later listeners can silently overwrite keys. A registry detects key conflicts at registration and remains enumerable.
+
+**Have each persistence backend register bash env directly.** That reverses the dependency from storage into one consumer and forces bash into deployments that do not use it. `locate()` is also still required by hooks.
+
+**A model-facing `session_info` tool.** It adds schema and another call while bash already supplies the query surface; the registry generalizes to future environment facts without one tool per fact.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Every model bash child receives current Harness home and shell identity, and agent calls additionally receive stable session identity. JSONL-backed calls get an optional target path; non-file persistence omits it honestly. The complete `DSH_*` namespace inside these children is managed by the harness: ambient values are removed, current trusted values are re-added, and ordinary callers cannot use `env` to bypass ownership checks.
+
+The namespace is discoverable but not secret. Paths can reveal configured roots, lazy targets can be absent or stale, and a command can override variables inside its own shell syntax. Consumers treat them as correlation and environment facts, verify transcript metadata when attribution matters, and rely on sandbox/filesystem policy rather than variable secrecy for authorization.

+# RFC: Parallel tool-call execution by per-call safety
+
+Status: implemented
+
+## Problem
+
+An assistant message may contain several sibling `tool-call` blocks. Running them serially adds the latency of independent reads and web requests even though the model has already requested them together.
+
+Concurrency is a host scheduling concern, not model-facing tool metadata. The loop needs to decide which calls may overlap without hardcoding tool names or exposing scheduler policy in the JSON schema.
+
+The session log remains authoritative: every started call has an audit event, every started call receives a result, and model history observes results in the original call order regardless of completion order.
+
+## Decision
+
+Each tool may provide an optional `isConcurrencySafe(args)` classifier. It is synchronous and pure: it examines only the current call's parsed arguments and performs no I/O or mutation. Only an explicit `true` opts in; a missing classifier, invalid arguments, a thrown classifier, or any other return value makes the call exclusive. The canonical type contract lives in the [tool data structures](../../../core-data-structures/tools.md).
+
+The classifier is deliberately unary. Returning `true` is the tool's promise that this call may overlap with any sibling call that also returns `true`; the scheduler does not compare calls or prove that their resource accesses are compatible.
+
+The unary classifier remains input-sensitive. A tool may classify a read-only operation as parallel and a mutating operation as exclusive. The interface cannot express relational rules such as "these writes are safe only when their paths differ," so a call whose safety depends on a sibling remains exclusive.
+
+`defineTool()` validates arguments before invoking a typed classifier. Invalid arguments classify as exclusive and produce the ordinary argument error only if the call executes. `ctx.tools.executionMode(exec)` resolves the live tool definition and returns the tagged `parallel` or `exclusive` mode; unknown tools fail closed to exclusive.
+
+A tagged mode, rather than a public boolean scheduler API, keeps resource-aware variants representable without changing the classifier contract.
+
+## Scheduling and ordering
+
+The loop waits for the complete assistant message, parses every call once, creates a distinct `ToolExecution` for each call, and scans them in model order. Consecutive parallel calls form one group; every exclusive call forms a singleton group and an ordering barrier. Groups execute sequentially. Classification is lazy: the scheduler resolves the next call after each barrier and reclassifies every later call before replenishing a parallel pool. If a registry mutation makes that call exclusive, the current pool drains before the call starts as the next barrier.
+
+For example:
+
+```text
+[parallel read(A), parallel read(B), exclusive write(A), parallel read(C)]
+
+→ [read(A), read(B)]
+→ [write(A)]
+→ [read(C)]
+```
+
+`read(A)` and `read(B)` may overlap. `write(A)` starts after both finish, and `read(C)` starts after the write finishes.
+
+Every group uses a rolling pool bounded by `maxParallelToolCalls`: the loop starts calls in model order up to the cap and starts another whenever one settles. An exclusive group is a pool of one. A cap of `1` preserves serial execution.
+
+Only dispatch and the tool body overlap. `tools/pre-execute` and `tools/post-execute` run in model order because middleware may maintain ordering-sensitive state. `tools/execute` wrappers run around concurrent dispatches and therefore must be reentrant across distinct executions.
+
+Each started call appends `tool/call` immediately before its pre-execute gate. Completed dispatches occupy model-order slots, and a commit cursor appends `tool/result` and collects `additionalContexts` only when the next slot is ready. Live surfaces may show several pending calls, but results and post-tool context remain model-ordered.
+
+An abort before a group starts records no calls from that group. An abort during a group stops replenishment, waits for already-started calls, commits their results in order, drains accepted batch context after those results, and then ends the step through the existing abort path. Calls that never start have no audit event.
+
+Code Mode remains outside this scheduler because the model emits one native `run_code` call. `run_code` and its internal dispatch queue remain serial; native sibling calls in `mode: 'both'` use the normal scheduler.
+
+## Safety contract
+
+A tool that returns `true` promises that its body is safe to run at the same time as other parallel calls. It must not directly mutate the parent session or other parent-owned state; it returns its outputs to the loop, which commits them in model order.
+
+Any shared state touched during execution must be concurrency-safe. This includes tool wrappers and providers: they may serialize internally or enforce their own capacity, but they must support concurrent dispatch without corrupting state.
+
+## Configuration and declarations
+
+`maxParallelToolCalls` is a positive AgentLoop deployment cap shared by every agent the factory creates. It defaults to `10`; `1` preserves serial execution. Exact fields and defaults live in the generated [configuration catalog](../../../config-catalog.md).
+
+The shipped declarations are conservative. Web search, web fetch, and filesystem read opt in. Filesystem writes and edits, bash tools, subagent delegation, workflow, user interaction, todo mutation, Code Mode, and Cordis mutation tools remain exclusive. A subagent may share its parent's workspace or external resources, and the unary classifier cannot prove that sibling delegations have disjoint effects. Bash has no proven input-sensitive classifier and remains exclusive.
+
+Filesystem read relies on a narrow recorder exception: its synchronous observation updates may settle out of order, but write and edit re-check the observed version before mutation, so stale state only produces `FS_STALE_VERSION`.
+
+## Verification
+
+Unit coverage pins fail-closed classification, typed argument validation, grouping, barriers, live reclassification after registry replacement, the rolling cap, distinct execution objects, middleware order, ordered results and context, and abort draining. First-party tests pin each parallel declaration.
+
+Snapshot coverage pins the visible multi-call transcript: pending calls may overlap while completed results remain model-ordered. Code Mode coverage pins its serial boundary. No provider-backed e2e is required because scheduling is deterministic loop behavior.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Keep serial execution.** This avoids new ordering and abort cases but retains unnecessary latency for independent sibling calls.
+
+**Use one tool-level boolean.** A fixed `supportsParallelToolCalls` flag is smaller but cannot distinguish a tool's read-only and mutating operations. The argument-sensitive classifier preserves that distinction.
+
+**Use stateful classification.** Giving the classifier a live agent, registry, or I/O access makes the decision depend on when it runs and creates a gap between classification and dispatch. Mutable authorization and stale-state checks remain execution-time responsibilities.
+
+**Use sibling-aware or resource-aware classification.** The scheduler could compare calls pairwise or let each call declare resource read/write claims. This can parallelize non-conflicting writes, but it requires shared resource identity and conflict semantics across unrelated tools. The unary contract instead gives up that concurrency and fails closed when safety is relational.
+
+**Parallelize the complete tool pipeline.** This keeps the loop on the public one-call API but runs pre- and post-execute middleware concurrently. Existing guards and hook bridges may carry ordered state, so only dispatch overlaps.
+
+**Expose staged methods or a scheduling waterfall.** Public `prepare` / `dispatch` / `finalize` methods or a `tools/execution-mode` event add extension surface before another consumer needs it. The loop uses an internal scheduler view, while `executionMode(exec)` leaves an insertion point for a policy seam.
+
+**Start calls while the model streams.** This may reduce latency further but changes assistant-message authority, replay, and call/result pairing. The scheduler starts only after the assistant message is complete.
+
+**Use fixed-size windows.** Waiting for every call in one window before starting the next leaves capacity idle behind a slow call. The rolling pool preserves the cap without that delay.
+
+**Expose concurrency metadata to the model.** The model can already emit sibling calls. Host scheduling metadata would enlarge requests without improving tool choice.
+
+## Consequences
+
+The design is fail-closed and simple for tool authors, but it cannot exploit concurrency whose safety depends on comparing siblings. A tool that opts in too broadly can expose latent shared-state races.
+
+Parallel calls may begin in cases where serial execution would have aborted before reaching them. The scheduler therefore records only started calls, drains them on abort, and never starts replacements after cancellation.
+
+Ordered commits may hold a fast result behind a slow earlier sibling. This preserves replay and model-history order while live surfaces still show pending progress.
+
+Concurrent external calls can compete for quota or process capacity. Providers own their capacity controls; the loop cap only limits calls from one agent step.
+
+Tool registration is a scheduling boundary. Registry mutations affect not-yet-started calls because the scheduler reclassifies after each barrier and before every pool replenishment. Already-started calls retain the scheduling decision under which they entered the pool.

+# RFC: Session query relationship tracing
+
+Status: implemented
+
+## Problem
+
+Session relationships are encoded across immutable headers, positional surface operations, and logged provenance arrays. A consumer reconstructing those relationships directly would need to duplicate corpus precedence, surface folding, malformed-log handling, deterministic lineage ordering, and cloning. Positional replacement and provenance are different graphs, so collapsing them into one generic edge type would also lose meaning.
+
+## Decision
+
+`ctx.sessionQuery` exposes `traceSession(sessionId)` and `traceEvent({ sessionId, seq })` alongside its exact reads. Both are one-shot views over the existing live-preferred corpus: session tracing consumes one complete corpus listing, while event tracing consumes one loaded logical log and one canonical surface fold. The service retains no lineage, reverse-index, or replacement state after a call.
+
+`SessionLineageTrace` returns the target, known parents in immediate-to-outward order, and recursive descendant trees whose siblings sort by creation time and then session id. `complete: true` carries the known root; `complete: false` carries the first unresolved parent id. A cycle connected to the target fails with `SESSION_QUERY_INVALID_LINEAGE`.
+
+`SessionEventTrace` keeps positional and provenance relationships separate. `replacedBy` is the immediate positional replacer, `replacementChain` follows replacers to the final node, and `replacedEventSeqs` lists the actual surface nodes directly removed by the target. `sourceEventSeqs` preserves direct logged source order, while `derivedEventSeqs` lists later direct reverse references in log order. Provenance is not expanded transitively.
+
+## Validation boundary
+
+Event tracing checks target existence before surface analysis. Both event listing and tracing then use `dsh-session`'s one-pass surface fold, which accepts or rejects the loaded log as a whole: event seqs are zero-based and contiguous, surface markers obey event-type eligibility, provenance belongs only to surface event types, present arrays are nonempty and duplicate-free, every source is an earlier seq, and every positional replacement names and cites all surface nodes it removes. Every contract failure uses `SESSION_QUERY_INVALID_SURFACE`; there is no weaker classification-only surface standard.
+
+All returned records and arrays are detached. A known live event trace never consults persistence; persisted event traces preserve the exact-read list/load consistency check. Session lineage is necessarily a cross-corpus operation and therefore preserves cross-corpus persistence failure semantics.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **Expose standalone tracing helpers** — rejected because the source-precedence and detachment boundary belongs to `ctx.sessionQuery`; public helpers would invite callers to bypass it.
+- **Combine replacement and provenance edges** — rejected because a positional replacement can shadow surface nodes while also citing non-surface construction inputs, and consumers need to distinguish those meanings.
+- **Return transitive provenance closure** — rejected because it obscures logged direct evidence, increases result size, and lets one malformed distant edge alter otherwise local output.
+- **Best-effort traces over malformed provenance** — rejected because a structurally plausible partial graph would look authoritative. Exact inspection fails loudly when the canonical relationship contract is broken.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Consumers receive deterministic relationship views without a cache or second corpus. Event tracing performs whole-log validation and allocation on each call, while lineage tracing lists the complete logical corpus on each call.

+
 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.

 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。

+
+## Problem
+
+A request-only clock can tell the model the current time, but replacing that value in the system prompt removes the evidence behind earlier time-sensitive reasoning. Multi-step turns need requests to retain the readings that shaped preceding steps. The request must remain reconstructable after restart, and automatic compaction must account for the same timing context the model receives.
+
+A process-local refresh cache makes displayed time depend on state that cannot survive resume or be reconstructed from the durable session. Durable interval scheduling can reduce append frequency without introducing that hidden state.
+
+## Decision
+
+`@deepseek-ai/dsh-time-context` is an opt-in function plugin in `packages/context/time-context/`. It registers a prepended `agent/pre-step` listener and, when an injection is due, calls `agent.inject()` for a pre-step attempt whose signal is not already aborted. The injected `context/message` carries source `{ kind: 'plugin', plugin: 'time-context' }` and append surface metadata; a suppressed attempt appends nothing.
+
+The listener records preparation context before a possible `step/start`. Its prepended registration runs before ordinary automatic compaction listeners, so pressure estimation and any resulting surface rewrite observe a newly appended reading. A later pre-step listener can cancel or fail the attempt before the step opens; the reading remains because the durable log is append-only and this plugin performs no rollback.
+
+The optional `timeZone` config resolves the Node process's IANA zone once at plugin load when omitted; an explicit value is validated by `Intl.DateTimeFormat`. The timestamp includes the numeric UTC offset and resolved IANA zone.
+
+The optional `refreshIntervalMs` config is manually validated at plugin load as a non-negative safe integer. Omission or `0` injects on every eligible preparation attempt. A positive value scans the raw session events for the most recent `context/message` with this plugin's source and injects when none exists, wall time moved backward, or the event is at least the configured age. The raw event timestamp governs even after compaction shadows the message, so scheduling persists across turns and process resume without a timer or process-local cache.
+
+### Text and elapsed baselines
+
+An injected first-step reading is:
+
+```text
+Time sampled while preparing turn <turn>, step 1: <timestamp>
+Elapsed since the preceding model-visible message: <duration-or-unavailable>.
+```
+
+The baseline is the latest preceding user, assistant, tool-result, context, or steering message. This includes the accepted prompt that opened an ordinary message turn. If no model-visible message exists, the duration is `unavailable`.
+
+An injected later-step reading is:
+
+```text
+Time sampled while preparing turn <turn>, step <step>: <timestamp>
+Elapsed since the preceding step context: <duration-or-unavailable>.
+```
+
+Their baseline is the durable event timestamp of the preceding time-context message in the same turn. If interval suppression leaves no earlier same-turn reading, the duration is `unavailable`. Duration formatting uses compact whole-second units and clamps backward wall-clock movement to zero. The explicit turn and step make every retained reading attributable to its historical preparation attempt after later turns append more context.
+
+### Durability and request reconstruction
+
+Each reading remains a normal surface node until compaction shadows it; positive interval scheduling never removes existing readings. A later request therefore sees the cumulative unshadowed readings that affected earlier preparation and steps, rather than a system-prompt value rewritten in place.
+
+The plugin contributes nothing to system-prompt assembly. `request/header` contains no time-context text; request reconstruction obtains the complete durable surface prefix at each `step/start`. Readings and requests need not map one-to-one because a failed preparation can leave a reading while interval suppression can prepare a request without appending one. The plugin depends on the agent registry for its lifecycle listener and does not require the system-prompt service at runtime.
+
+## Testing
+
+Unit and real-loop tests pin formatting, both elapsed baselines, interval omission and zero, threshold boundaries, cross-turn and per-session scheduling, backward-clock behavior, invalid config, resumed raw-event lookup after compaction, aborted-signal behavior, later-listener cancellation and failure, listener disposal, source and surface metadata, cumulative multi-step visibility, and absence from request headers. A keyless subprocess e2e boots the real Loader and stdio app, drives two turns, and verifies the persisted context events externally.
+
+## Supersedes
+
+This decision supersedes the dynamic system-prompt storage and refresh policy in [Optional time-context plugin](2026-07-14-time-context-plugin.md). It keeps the package location, opt-in deployment stance, timestamp formatting, process-zone default, and load-time validation. Durable history replaces the `context:time` prompt section, process-local refresh cache, and request-header deltas; `refreshIntervalMs` controls durable append frequency instead of prompt replacement.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **Keep the dynamic system-prompt section and process-local refresh cache** — rejected because replacement erases earlier readings, cache state is not replayable, and a frozen request envelope would make the value stale for an entire loop instance.
+- **Replace the preceding context surface node** — rejected because replacement preserves the old node's position or shadows intervening conversation; neither represents when the new reading became visible.
+- **Inject from a background timer** — rejected because idle time has no pending request to consume the value, and timer-driven injection would create durable turns solely to report time passing.
+- **Expose time only through a tool** — rejected because ordinary temporal reasoning would require an avoidable tool round trip and would not guarantee a reading before every step.
+- **Use `agent/session-prefix`** — rejected because one loop-instance prefix cannot represent distinct step timestamps and does not accumulate historically attributable readings.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Omission or `0` records every eligible preparation attempt; a positive interval reduces append frequency and history growth while preserving durable scheduling across resume.
+- Timing context remains append-only until compaction shadows older surface nodes, including a preparation reading left by a later cancellation or failure.
+- The first-step duration normally measures from the prompt that opened the turn, while later-step durations measure model and tool processing since the preceding step context.
+- An omitted `timeZone` still reflects the deployment process rather than a remote user, and elapsed time still uses durable harness append boundaries rather than client-origin timestamps.

+# RFC: 持久的逐步骤时间上下文

+
+## 问题
+
+仅存在于请求中的时钟可以告诉模型当前时间，但在系统提示词中替换这个值会移除先前时效性推理所依据的证据。在包含多个步骤的轮次中，请求需要保留影响先前步骤的读数。系统必须能在重启后重建请求，自动压缩（compaction）也必须核算模型实际收到的同一份时间上下文。
+
+进程本地刷新缓存使显示的时间依赖无法在恢复后保留、也无法从持久会话重建的状态。持久的间隔调度可以减少追加频率，而不引入这种隐藏状态。
+
+## 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。它注册一个前置的 `agent/pre-step` 监听器，并在需要注入时，为信号尚未取消的预步骤尝试调用 `agent.inject()`。注入的 `context/message` 携带来源 `{ kind: 'plugin', plugin: 'time-context' }` 和追加表层元数据；受间隔抑制的尝试不会追加任何内容。
+
+监听器在可能出现的 `step/start` 之前记录准备上下文。它采用前置注册，因此先于普通自动压缩监听器运行，使压力估算和由此产生的表层重写都能观察到新追加的读数。后续预步骤监听器可能在步骤开启前取消尝试或使其失败；持久日志仅追加，且本插件不执行回滚，因此该读数会保留下来。
+
+省略可选配置 `timeZone` 时，插件在加载时解析一次 Node 进程的 IANA 时区；显式值由 `Intl.DateTimeFormat` 校验。时间戳包含数字 UTC 偏移和解析后的 IANA 时区。
+
+插件在加载时手动校验可选配置 `refreshIntervalMs`，其值必须为非负安全整数。省略或设为 `0` 时，每次符合条件的准备尝试都会注入。设为正数时，插件扫描原始会话事件，查找来源属于本插件的最新 `context/message`；不存在此类事件、系统挂钟向后移动，或该事件已达到配置时长时，插件执行注入。即使压缩已隐藏消息，调度仍以原始事件时间戳为准，因此该机制无需计时器或进程本地缓存，也能跨轮次和进程恢复持续生效。
+
+### 文本与时长基线
+
+第一个步骤的注入读数为：
+
+```text
+Time sampled while preparing turn <turn>, step 1: <timestamp>
+Elapsed since the preceding model-visible message: <duration-or-unavailable>.
+```
+
+基线是前一条用户消息、助手消息、工具结果、上下文消息或 steering（中途引导）消息。对于普通消息轮次，这包括开启轮次的已接受提示词。如果不存在模型可见消息，时长为 `unavailable`。
+
+后续步骤的注入读数为：
+
+```text
+Time sampled while preparing turn <turn>, step <step>: <timestamp>
+Elapsed since the preceding step context: <duration-or-unavailable>.
+```
+
+其基线是同一轮次中上一条时间上下文消息的持久事件时间戳。如果间隔抑制导致同一轮次中没有更早的读数，时长为 `unavailable`。时长采用紧凑的整秒单位，并在系统挂钟向后移动时钳制为零。显式的轮次号和步骤号使每个保留的读数在后续轮次追加更多上下文后，仍可归属于对应的历史准备尝试。
+
+### 持久性与请求重建
+
+每个读数都作为普通表层节点保留，直至压缩将其隐藏；正数间隔调度绝不会移除已有读数。因此，后续请求会看到影响先前准备过程和步骤且尚未被隐藏的累计读数，而不是一个被原地改写的系统提示词值。
+
+插件不向系统提示词组装贡献任何内容。`request/header` 不包含时间上下文文本；请求重建从每个 `step/start` 取得完整的持久表层前缀。读数与请求无需一一对应，因为失败的准备过程可能留下读数，而间隔抑制也可能使请求准备过程不追加读数。插件通过 agent 注册表使用生命周期监听器，运行时不需要系统提示词服务。
+
+## 测试
+
+单元测试和真实 agent loop（智能体循环）测试固定格式化、两种时长基线、间隔省略和零值、阈值边界、跨轮次和各会话独立调度、挂钟后退行为、无效配置、压缩后基于恢复会话的原始事件查找、已取消信号行为、后续监听器取消和失败、监听器 dispose（资源释放）、来源与表层元数据、多步骤累计可见性，以及请求头中不存在时间上下文。无密钥子进程 e2e 测试通过真实 Loader 和 stdio 应用启动，驱动两个轮次，并从外部校验持久化的上下文事件。
+
+## 取代的决策
+
+本决策取代[可选时间上下文插件](2026-07-14-time-context-plugin.md)中的动态系统提示词存储和刷新策略。它保留包位置、选择加入式部署、时间戳格式、进程时区默认值和加载时校验。持久历史取代 `context:time` 提示词区段、进程本地刷新缓存和请求头增量；`refreshIntervalMs` 用于控制持久追加频率，而非提示词替换。
+
+## 考虑过的替代方案
+
+- **保留动态系统提示词区段和进程本地刷新缓存**——不予采纳，因为替换会抹去先前读数，缓存状态无法回放，而且冻结的请求内容集合会使该值在整个 agent loop 实例期间保持陈旧。
+- **替换前一条上下文表层节点**——不予采纳，因为替换会保留旧节点的位置或隐藏中间的会话内容；两者都不能表达新读数何时开始可见。
+- **通过后台计时器注入**——不予采纳，因为空闲期间没有待处理请求消费该值，而且计时器驱动的注入会仅为报告时间流逝而创建持久轮次。
+- **只通过工具提供时间**——不予采纳，因为普通时间推理会产生本可避免的工具往返，也不能保证每个步骤之前都有读数。
+- **使用 `agent/session-prefix`**——不予采纳，因为一个 loop 实例前缀无法表示不同的步骤时间戳，也不会累计具有历史归属的读数。
+
+## 后果
+
+- 省略 `refreshIntervalMs` 或设为 `0` 时，每次符合条件的准备尝试都会留下记录；正数间隔会减少追加频率和历史增长，同时使持久调度在恢复后继续生效。
+- 时间上下文仅追加并保留到压缩隐藏旧表层节点为止，其中也包括后续取消或失败所留下的准备读数。
+- 第一个步骤的时长通常从开启轮次的提示词起算，后续步骤的时长则反映自上一条步骤上下文以来的模型与工具处理时间。
+- 省略 `timeZone` 时仍采用部署进程而非远程用户的时区，时长仍采用 harness 的持久追加边界而非客户端来源时间戳。

 Generate `docs/persistence-catalog.md` from source, with a freshness gate, as the fourth reference surface: the *records* a persisted session log can contain, complementing the cordis catalog (wiring), core-data-structures (vocabulary), and the tool catalog (tools).
 
-`gen-persistence-catalog.ts` scans every owning and declaration-merged `SessionEventMap` with the TypeScript AST. It renders source JSDoc, payload type, derived surface badge, reference links, and source location. The doc-sync freshness check rejects a vocabulary change whose catalog was not regenerated.
+`gen-persistence-catalog.ts` scans every owning and declaration-merged `SessionEventMap` with the TypeScript AST. It renders each member from its leading JSDoc through the complete payload type, retaining nested property comments and removing only its containing indentation, and also pastes the owning `SessionEventType`, `SurfaceEventType`, `SurfaceOp`, and `SessionEvent` declarations that compose the persisted envelope. Derived surface badges, reference links, and source locations remain outside the declaration blocks. The doc-sync freshness check rejects a vocabulary or envelope change whose catalog was not regenerated.
 
 Specific choices:
 
-- **JSDoc completeness, enforced.** Every member must carry description prose — the JSDoc becomes the catalog entry, the same forcing function the cordis catalog applies to bus events. An `@mode` tag on a member is a hard error: dispatch modes belong to cordis bus events, and a log event has none — the tag would misread as "this fires on the bus with mode X". Violations aggregate into one error listing every offender.
+- **JSDoc completeness, enforced.** Every member and rendered envelope type must carry description prose, and the full source JSDoc stays attached to its declaration in the catalog. An `@mode` tag is a hard error: dispatch modes belong to cordis bus events, and persisted records have none. Violations aggregate into one error listing every offender.
 - **The surface badge is derived, not hand-listed.** `SurfaceEventType` — the subset that produces LLM messages and may carry `surfaceOp` — is parsed from its union declaration in the owning package; a union member naming no declared event is a hard error (a stale union member would otherwise silently badge nothing). Everything else renders **log-only**.
-- **A dedicated fence.** Payload blocks use a ` ```ts persistence-catalog ` info string that `doc-typecheck` recognizes and skips, excluded from the opt-out ratio — the same treatment as `ts cordis-catalog` (a bare payload fragment is not standalone-compilable).
+- **A dedicated fence.** Declaration blocks use a ` ```ts persistence-catalog ` info string that `doc-typecheck` recognizes and skips, excluded from the opt-out ratio — the same treatment as `ts cordis-catalog` (the declarations reference types from their owning modules and are not standalone-compilable).
 - **Repo scope.** The catalog enumerates the packages in this repo, matching the siblings' packages-only scope; a downstream plugin can merge further event types, which are outside the catalog by construction. The walk defends its own assumptions with hard errors: the owning top-level `interface SessionEventMap` must be the single exported declaration in `@deepseek-ai/dsh-session` (an unrelated, local, or duplicate same-named interface cannot be catalogued as the on-disk vocabulary), no declaration may carry `extends` (inherited keys would join `keyof SessionEventMap` without a catalog row), every member must be a property signature with an explicit payload type (a method-form member would join `keyof` yet slip past a silent walk), and a duplicate member across declarations fails.
 
 This supersedes the hand-copies: the session.md `hook/*` table, the compact README's event table, the hook-protocol README's payload bullets, and the session README's name-list now link the catalog instead of restating payloads (the surrounding semantics prose stays where it was). The two stray `@mode emit` tags on the hook-protocol merge members are removed — the new gate rejects them as the category error they were.

 ## Consequences

+# RFC: Run CI examples from built lib
+
+Status: implemented

+English | [中文](2026-07-17-run-ci-examples-from-built-lib.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+CI boots examples and Cordis-backed test projects through `node --import tsx` and the root tsconfig `paths` map. This adds TypeScript transformation cost and changes package resolution: imports resolve to workspace source instead of following package `exports` into built `lib/`.
+
+These runs therefore do not test the same code or resolution behavior as an installed consumer. A package can pass CI while its built export graph is incomplete or resolves differently.
+
+## Decision
+
+Execution has two modes. `src` is the default local-development mode and uses tsx; `lib` is the strict CI mode and starts built bins with plain Node, without tsx or tsconfig path mapping.
+
+- CI subprocesses that boot an example or a checked-in `cordis.yml` use `lib` mode.
+- TypeScript fixtures that only implement an ACP or MCP peer and do not load Cordis run directly with Node. An explicit source-path regression may remain in `src` mode.
+
+### Resolution topology
+
+Every test Cordis config must resolve its bare modules by walking upward from the config directory.
+
+- `examples/` is one pnpm workspace member and provides the shared `examples/node_modules` resolution root.
+- Every checked-in test Cordis config, including snapshot configs and package-owned fixtures, lives under its corresponding `examples/<agent>/` tree. A config owned by `packages/<group>/<package>/` maps to `examples/<agent>/tests/fixtures/<group>/<package>/cordis.yml`; the test driver and assertions remain package-local.
+- Every package named by an example Cordis config is declared in both `examples/package.json` for `lib` resolution and the root `tsconfig.json` references for `src` mode.
+
+### Launch policy
+
+The shared Loader test harness selects `src` or `lib` from `DSH_EXAMPLE_MODE`. CI builds first and selects `lib`; an unset mode keeps the fast local source loop.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **Keep CI on tsx** — rejected because it preserves transformation overhead and source-only resolution behavior.
+- **Use lib everywhere** — rejected because local development would require a build before every run. Dual mode keeps that cost out of the development loop.
+- **Build a private `node_modules` tree per test** — rejected because it duplicates consumer scaffolding. The `examples/` workspace root gives every Cordis config one real and declared resolution path.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- CI validates built package exports without tsx changing module resolution; local development retains the no-build source loop.
+- CI must build before these tests, and manual `lib` runs can observe stale local artifacts.
+- Cordis config dependencies are not visible to normal TypeScript import analysis, so `examples/package.json` and the root tsconfig references must stay synchronized with the configs.

+# RFC: 在 CI 中从构建后的 lib 运行示例
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-17-run-ci-examples-from-built-lib.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+CI 通过 `node --import tsx` 和根 tsconfig 的 `paths` 映射启动示例与加载 Cordis 配置的测试项目。这种方式既增加了 TypeScript 转换开销，也改变了包解析行为：import 会解析到 workspace 源码，而不是经包的 `exports` 进入构建后的 `lib/`。
+
+因此，这些测试没有覆盖已安装消费方实际运行的代码和解析路径。即使包的构建导出图不完整或解析结果不同，CI 仍可能通过。
+
+## 决策
+
+执行机制包含两种模式。`src` 是本地开发的默认模式并使用 tsx；`lib` 是严格的 CI 模式，通过 plain Node 启动构建后的 bin，不加载 tsx，也不使用 tsconfig 路径映射。
+
+- CI 中启动示例或签入仓库的 `cordis.yml` 的子进程使用 `lib` 模式。
+- 仅实现 ACP 或 MCP 对端、且不加载 Cordis 的 TypeScript fixture（测试前置数据）直接由 Node 运行。只有显式验证源码路径的回归测试可以保留 `src` 模式。
+
+### 解析拓扑
+
+每个测试 Cordis 配置都必须能从配置文件所在目录向上解析裸模块。
+
+- `examples/` 作为一个 pnpm workspace 成员，提供统一的 `examples/node_modules` 解析根目录。
+- 所有签入仓库的测试 Cordis 配置，包括快照配置和包内测试 fixture，都放在对应的 `examples/<agent>/` 目录树下。归属 `packages/<group>/<package>/` 的配置映射到 `examples/<agent>/tests/fixtures/<group>/<package>/cordis.yml`；测试驱动和断言仍留在包内。
+- 示例 Cordis 配置中引用的每个包都同时登记在 `examples/package.json` 和根 `tsconfig.json` 的 references 中，分别支持 `lib` 与 `src` 解析。
+
+### 启动策略
+
+共享 Loader 测试 harness 通过 `DSH_EXAMPLE_MODE` 选择 `src` 或 `lib`。CI 先构建再选择 `lib`；未设置模式时保留快速的本地源码开发回路。
+
+## 曾考虑的替代方案
+
+- **CI 继续使用 tsx**：不予采纳，因为它会保留转换开销和仅适用于源码的解析行为。
+- **所有环境只使用 lib**：不予采纳，因为本地开发每次运行前都必须构建。双模式避免把这项成本带入开发回路。
+- **每个测试单独构造 `node_modules`**：不予采纳，因为它会重复消费方脚手架。以 `examples/` 作为 workspace 根，可让每个 Cordis 配置通过同一条真实且显式声明的路径解析模块。
+
+## 后果
+
+- CI 可以验证构建后的包导出，不再受 tsx 模块解析影响；本地开发仍保留免构建的源码回路。
+- CI 必须先构建再运行这些测试；手动执行 `lib` 模式时可能读取陈旧的本地产物。
+- 常规 TypeScript import 分析无法识别 Cordis 配置依赖，因此 `examples/package.json`、根 tsconfig references 与配置文件必须保持同步。

 ## Problem
 
-The loop exposed durable turn and step boundaries through both the replayable `SessionEvent` log and live `agent/*` mirrors. Consumers had to choose between two sources for the same fact and reconcile their timing. ACP and persistence already used the log; the stdio UI was the only remaining mirror consumer and already rendered tool calls and results from `session/event`.
+The loop records the canonical transcript in `SessionEvent` and also emitted a parallel set of live `agent/*` boundary mirror events: `agent/turn-start`, `agent/turn-end`, `agent/step-start`, and `agent/step-end`. The mirrors made consumers choose between two sources of truth for the SAME durable fact. ACP already chose the session log for the editor-facing transcript because it is the one durable, replayable record; consuming a live mirror would require reconciling its timing with the boundary already stored in that log. The stdio UI was the only production consumer that still rendered turn boundaries from the mirror events; it already rendered tool calls and results from `session/event`.
 
 This duplication is not free. Every lifecycle change had to update the session event, the mirror event, docs, invariants, tests, and snapshot expectations. The duplicate boundary events also made failure ordering subtle: a turn can be durably closed before a live `agent/turn-end` listener runs, so a post-boundary listener failure has no valid in-log position left and must be reported out of band.

-Remove `agent/turn-start`, `agent/turn-end`, `agent/step-start`, and `agent/step-end`. Boundary consumers subscribe to `session/event`. A UI that needs an agent label maintains a session-to-agent map from `agent/created` and `agent/disposed`, because the durable `turn/start` carries the turn number but not the agent id.

A UI that wants the agent handle at a boundary retains the live target object from `agent/created`/`agent/disposed` and compares its session directly; `dsh-ui-stdio` uses this to label the app-owned agent's `[main turn N]` header while other sessions render their durable id. The canonical record remains the event-sourced session log.
 
-The step mirrors had no consumers and were removed first by the [event-domain-semantics RFC](../architecture/2026-06-30-event-domain-semantics.md). That decision retained the turn mirrors for the stdio UI; this RFC removes them after migrating that test REPL to `session/event` and the id map.
+The step mirrors (which had no consumer at all) were removed first, in [the event-domain-semantics RFC](../architecture/2026-06-30-event-domain-semantics.md); that RFC KEPT the turn mirrors on the stated justification that the stdio UI needed the `Agent` handle at the turn boundary. This RFC finishes the job: `dsh-ui-stdio` is a disposable test REPL whose rendering can change freely, so "ui-stdio needs it" is not a reason to keep a mirror — it reads `session/event` and retains only its live target object.
 
 ## Scope: what is and isn't removed
 
-This decision covers only durable turn and step boundaries. `agent/steering` mirrored a control record and `agent/stream-chunk` mirrored the token stream, so each was handled separately: [steering](2026-07-04-remove-agent-steering-mirror.md) and [stream chunks](2026-07-02-remove-stream-chunk-mirror.md). `agent/created`, `agent/disposed`, `agent/status`, `agent/error`, and `agent/queued` remain live lifecycle or control events rather than transcript mirrors; queued input may be cancelled before any durable event exists.

+- `agent/steering` — not a boundary, so out of scope for THIS decision (the original proposal bundled it into the removal; that would have been scope creep here).

+- `agent/stream-chunk` — the live token stream. Out of scope for THIS decision (a mirror of the durable `assistant/chunk`, not a boundary), it was removed by its own follow-up: [Stop mirroring the token stream as an agent event](2026-07-02-remove-stream-chunk-mirror.md).
+- `agent/created`, `agent/disposed`, `agent/status`, `agent/error`, `agent/queued` — lifecycle/control events that are not transcript data. `agent/queued` in particular is an inbox acknowledgement that fires before any durable event exists (cancelled queued work may never enter the log), so it is deliberately live-only.
 
 ## Alternatives considered
 
-- **Remove `agent/steering` in the same change** — rejected because it was a control-record mirror rather than a boundary mirror.
-- **Keep turn mirrors for the stdio UI** — rejected because the UI can render `session/event` and recover the agent label from its id map.
+- **Bundling `agent/steering` into the removal** — the original proposal's shape; narrowed out as scope creep: it mirrors the durable `steering/message` control record, not a boundary, and was removed by [its own later decision](2026-07-04-remove-agent-steering-mirror.md) (as was `agent/stream-chunk`, by [the stream-chunk-mirror RFC](2026-07-02-remove-stream-chunk-mirror.md)).
+- **Keeping the turn mirrors for the stdio UI** — [the event-domain-semantics RFC](../architecture/2026-06-30-event-domain-semantics.md)'s original stance; rejected here because `dsh-ui-stdio` is a disposable test REPL, not a load-bearing consumer, and it renders boundaries from `session/event` plus its live target object instead.
 
 ## Consequences
 
-A plugin can no longer observe turn/step boundaries from a convenient `Agent`-first event. It must either subscribe to `session/event` or maintain a session-to-agent association. That is an acceptable trade: boundary consumers should not depend on a second event feed that can drift from the durable log.

+# RFC: Unify the agent id and the session id
+
+Status: implemented
+
+## Problem
+
+A live agent/session pair needs one identity for registry routing, event sourcing, and persistence. Giving the factory independent `agentId` and `sessionId` inputs would permit pairings no production path can use, while forcing every consumer to choose or translate between two names for the same lifecycle.
+
+ACP uses the same value for both identities. Stdio and hooks also operate on the session event stream and need the corresponding live agent directly; no production path reattaches one live agent object to several sessions or drives one session through several agent ids.
+
+The [agent-scope runtime](../../implemented/architecture/2026-07-12-agent-scope-runtime-design.md) uses one `AgentCreationTransaction` for create and resume, and agent/session entries share the same final-entry collision rule. A second identity would not represent separate liveness, rollback, or quiescence; it would only add API and translation state around the same transaction.
+
+Session identity likewise has one home in `Session.header.id`; `Session.id` is a derived accessor rather than independent state that needs duplicate validation.
+
+## Decision
+
+An agent's registry id equals its session id. `CreateAgentOptions` accepts one `sessionId` used for both final registry entries; resume registers the agent under `resumeSessionId`; in-process subagent creation uses the child session id; and `Session.id` derives from `header.id`. A remote ACP run has no local agent/session pair: it keeps one parent-minted lifecycle id while the child server's wire-local session id remains private to ACP calls. The existing creation transaction, final-entry collision checks, and exact-entry detach semantics remain; maps and fields whose sole job was translating between local ids are gone.
+
+The config-driven path keeps `agents[].id` as a stable configuration label, not a live routing identity. An ordinary fresh start mints the combined id `${label}-session-${randomUUID()}` so durable restarts do not collide. A coupled app may pre-mint and pass an exact `sessionId`: first use creates it, while an AgentLoop remount with an already-present persistence service resumes materialized history under that same identity. `resumeSessionId` instead requires an existing persisted identity. The two exact-id inputs are mutually exclusive. Stdio uses the resume-or-create form so its config-created agent and UI share one opaque identity across loop reloads instead of guessing from a prefix. Logs may use the stable label while all live and durable lookups use the one `SessionId`.
+
+`agent/created` and `agent/disposed` remain. They are paired publication lifecycle events, not identity aliases; any later consumer-free removal needs its own proposal after a fresh search.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Keep separate routing and log identities.** A stable configured label plus a fresh durable conversation is useful, but it does not require two live identities: the label can remain configuration/display metadata while the combined per-run `SessionId` owns routing and persistence. Keeping two ids would preserve translation maps and permit impossible pairings without adding lifecycle capability.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Agent create/resume and subagent creation carry one identity, and `Session` stores it in one place.
+- The creation transaction retains final-entry collision, exact-entry detach, rollback, and quiescence coverage without identity-specific lifecycle state.
+- ACP, stdio, hooks, bash ownership, persistence, and lineage use the shared `SessionId` directly. The ACP subagent backend mints its lifecycle id in the parent namespace because a child server's returned session id is only server-local; the ACP bridge verifies exact `Agent` ownership from the forward session map; and JSON-RPC forwards only lifecycle events whose service-snapshotted `local` flag is true, obtains the delegating parent from the scoped event carrier, and keeps no child identity or lineage cache.
+- The config-driven resume-or-create policy is explicit and covered across a durable restart.
+- A production listener search kept `agent/created`/`agent/disposed` and their publication semantics.
+- Typecheck, coverage, snapshots, doc-sync, module-graph verification, build, and hygiene pass.
+
+## Consequences
+
+This forecloses latent multi-session-actor and session-handoff designs and makes persisted client-chosen session identity the registry identity. If separate routing identity becomes a real requirement, it needs an explicit lifecycle design rather than an unconstrained caller-supplied pair.

+# RFC: Simplify session-log representation
+
+Status: implemented
+
+## Problem
+
+The session log maintains two representations that cost more machinery than their consumers require: a pseudo-linked surface and custom request-header deltas.
+
+`SurfaceManager` stores the same order in an array, a seq map, and mutable `prev`/`next` links. Production never reads either link: compact's tool-pairing balance answers from per-cut balances cached in surface order. Replacement already uses `indexOf`, so the links do not make its dominant operation constant-time. A seq array with linear replacement lookup has the same asymptotic replacement cost and one representation to validate.
+
+The request-header subsystem implements a custom system/tool delta codec and transmission-decision layer even though its contract says deltas are an encoding optimization, not a reconstructability requirement. Retaining the initial/resume full snapshot at each loop-instance boundary, then writing a canonical full `request/header` whenever that instance's assembled header changes, preserves replay while deleting `SystemDelta`, `ToolsDelta`, round-trip fallback, and the durable `request/header-delta` variant. Codec-only vocabulary disappears with the codec, not because its individual arms were invalid.
+
+The implementation retains append and replacement `sourceEventSeqs`, crash-repair provenance, and all `SessionStartSource` variants because those fields have an audit/interception role that zero current readers does not overturn.
+
+## Decision
+
+`SurfaceManager.nodes` is a `readonly number[]` of event sequences; the public `SurfaceNode` shape, node links, and seq-to-node map are removed. The internal replace-generation signal remains. The complete `foldSurface()` read used by session-query returns the same number-array representation plus replacement metadata without making the incremental manager retain history. Tool-pairing balance and compaction use event sequences and surface positions; the compact-owned per-cut balance cache does not depend on node links.
+
+Request headers use canonical full snapshots only. Initial and resume anchors remain full snapshots even when unchanged; an in-instance change appends another full `request/header` with reason `change`. The delta event, codec types, diff/apply helpers, and codec-only `fallback` reason are removed. Request reconstruction selects the latest snapshot.
+
+`SESSION_FORMAT_VERSION` remains pinned at `0`, so seed, append, and persistence-load validation explicitly reject old v0 `request/header-delta` events and full snapshots carrying the removed `fallback` reason. There is no compatibility fold or migration. JSONL and SQLite tests pin this fail-loud boundary, and the ACP snapshot harness represents legitimate mid-session changes as full pinned headers and full readable prompts.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Keep linked nodes and compact deltas for possible scale.** Links could help a future cursor API, and deltas can reduce logs when large tool schemas change by a small amount. No shipped cursor uses the links, while full snapshots trade disk size for substantially simpler correctness. If header volume proves material, compression or a measured canonical-delta scheme can be designed around real traces.
+
+## Verification
+
+Unit coverage pins ordered-surface append/replace behavior, tool pairing, compaction, full-header folding/logging, request reconstruction, and dev invariants. Seed validation plus JSONL and SQLite load tests reject the legacy event before replay. The keyless ACP suite exercises record, refresh, replay, changed-header pinning, and the sandbox mode-switch fixture in the new shape.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Full headers increase log volume, and linear replacement lookup could be slower on very large surfaces. Replacements were already linear because the prior implementation called `indexOf`; benchmarks are deferred until real traces show the simpler array is a bottleneck. The format version remains `0`, so explicit legacy-event rejection is a permanent part of the pre-release format boundary. In return, surface order and request-header state each have one representation, deleting link maintenance, maps, codec arms, round-trip fallback, and delta-aware snapshot normalization.

 Model-driving ACP snapshot scenarios ship both `session.jsonl` and `session.golden.jsonl`. For normal recorded scenarios, `session.jsonl` is the replay fixture harvested from a real run, and the replay test normalizes the newly persisted log and compares it to `session.golden.jsonl`. In the current fixtures, the normalized recorded log and normalized golden are identical for the ordinary recorded scenarios.

 - The `acp-agent` demo now loads a Codex bridge it will usually no-op (no `codex-hooks.json` in a typical project), which is the intended fail-soft behavior, not a cost.

 The ACP snapshot tier ([snapshot RFC](2026-06-19-acp-snapshot-tests.md)) was built from three modules living inside one example's test directory: `snapshot-harness.ts` (boot the real bin subprocess, drive it over ACP JSON-RPC, harvest the persisted logs), `snapshot-normalize.ts` (the pure golden normalizers), and the ~150-line scenario body plus fixture guards in `acp.snapshot.ts` (record/replay modes, the stdout-golden and log compares, the pinned-header uniformity guard, the orphan/required-file/single-pin meta-tests).

+A second ACP example wanting snapshot coverage — the sandbox/approval composition is the immediate consumer — could only copy those modules, forking exactly the logic that must not drift: record write-back, header scrubbing, child-session harvest ordering. The spawn/client glue was also triplicated across `acp.e2e.ts`, `hooks.e2e.ts`, and the harness. Location decided test rigor: the per-file 100% coverage gate measures `packages/*/*/src` only, so none of this machinery was measured — the same gap that had moved `dsh-llm-replay` out of `examples/` into [packages/support](../../../../packages/support/README.md). And the harness's ACP client hardcoded `requestPermission → cancelled`, so an approval round-trip — the headline behavior of the sandbox composition — could not be expressed at the snapshot tier at all.
 
 ## Decision
 
 The machinery lives in [`packages/support/acp-snapshot`](../../../../packages/support/acp-snapshot/README.md) (`@deepseek-ai/dsh-acp-snapshot`); an example's `*.snapshot.ts` is its scenario table, its agent paths, and one factory call, over its own `snapshots/` fixtures and `cordis.snapshot.yml` overlay ([single-source replay config](2026-07-04-single-source-acp-replay-config.md)). Reading `DSH_SNAPSHOT` stays at that edge — the library takes a resolved `mode`.
 
-**`src/harness.ts`** provides `runScenario` and its script/result types, parameterized by the agent's bin and config paths. Permission answers form a FIFO queue keyed by stable option kind rather than random option id. Missing answers cancel the request; an unavailable kind cancels the agent request and fails the scenario.
+**`src/launcher.ts`** — `launchAcpTestAgent` owns the common unbuilt-process boundary: absolute tsx loader resolution, `TSX_TSCONFIG_PATH`, isolated harness homes, stdio wiring, a raw-byte stdout tee, stderr and update capture, fail-closed permission fallback, update waiters, and graceful or signalled shutdown. Snapshot scenarios and ordinary e2e suites supply the same `AgentUnderTest` (`binScript`, `configPath`, `tsconfigPath`); a test that plays a user supplies only its permission handler. The ACP and hook e2e suites plus the sandbox/approval e2e suite use this launcher instead of rebuilding the SDK client boundary.
+
+**`src/harness.ts`** — `runScenario` and the input-script/result types layer deterministic steps, temp workspaces, snapshot environment, and persisted-log harvest over the launcher. Its `session/request_permission` handler consumes an optional `InputScript.permissionAnswers` FIFO queue, each entry selecting by option **kind** (ids are agent-issued randoms a committed script cannot know; kinds are the ACP-stable vocabulary, mapped to the offered `optionId` at answer time); an absent or exhausted queue answers `cancelled`, and a kind the request never offered rejects the run — the agent itself is answered `cancelled`, so the scenario bug fails the harness rather than being absorbed as an agent-side denial. This is what lets an approval suite drive allow/reject round-trips deterministically from `input.json`.
 
 **`src/normalize.ts`** — the pure normalizers, hook-free by policy: when a future event carries a new volatile field (an approval duration, say), the shared normalizer learns it in the same change, keeping one home for what "normalized" means rather than per-suite scrub extensions.
 
-**`src/suite.ts`** — the `Scenario` type and `defineAcpSnapshotSuite(options)`, registering the per-scenario compares, record/refresh fixture write-back, the header pin with its live uniformity guard, and the fixture guard block (no orphan scenario dirs, required files present, exactly one pin per class, every JSONL a `scrubSystemPrompts` fixed point, non-pinning fixtures also `scrubRequestHeaders` fixed points). The pinned-header contract ([pinned-header RFC](2026-07-06-pin-request-header-content-in-one-scenario.md)) is per-suite: each header class flags exactly one `pinsHeader` scenario, whose `system-prompt.golden.md` and JSONL tool list split the composed header into reviewable artifacts; the uniformity guard compares both against every live header in that class.

+# RFC: Recallable compaction — index checkpoints, a state checkpoint, and in-session history recall
+
+Status: proposed
+
+## Problem
+
+Compaction is a one-way door. The summary the model sees carries no reference to what it shadows — the `shadowedRange` provenance lives only on the log-only `compact/summary` event — and no tool lets the model read a shadowed span back. Whatever the summarizer drops is gone from the model's reachable world, even though the append-only log holds every byte. Repeated compaction compounds this: the head checkpoint is rewritten every pass, so the request prefix takes a full prompt-cache miss each time, and earlier summaries are re-summarized generation after generation.

+The root cause is one artifact playing two conflicting roles. An **index** wants to be frozen, chronological, and cheap; the model's **working memory** wants a global view, re-prioritization, and mutability. A single summary can be neither well.
+
+No mainstream coding harness gives the model in-loop recall, and none of the surveyed implementations makes compaction prefix-cache-aware. An event-sourced session — originals durable, seq-addressable, replay-exact — is the natural substrate for both.
+
+## Proposal
+
+Split the checkpoint into two classes and make shadowed history reachable.
+
+### Frozen index checkpoints
+
+Newly stale history splits into chunks by deterministic policy: accumulate toward `chunkTokens`, snap edges with `toolPairingBalancedBefore` / `toolPairingBalancedAfter`, prefer turn boundaries, and place the final boundary as close to the retain boundary as balance allows, so the trailing slice shrinks to roughly one turn. Each chunk is compacted by one `compactRegion` call into an **index stub** (`stubTokens`, ~100–200 tokens):
+
+- two or three lines of what happened;
+- a keyword line of low-frequency literal anchors — exact error strings, values, config keys — grouped by kind;
+- a code-composed footer: `[checkpoint c<summarySeq>: shadows conversation span #<start>–#<end>; originals retrievable via history_read]`. Pointers are assembled from provenance, never model-authored.
+
+A committed stub is never rewritten and never re-enters a later compaction region. A stub call's input is layered: the fixed preamble and the byte-identical pass-start state checkpoint (the shared prefix across all calls in the phase), then the keyword lines of all previously committed stubs — so a new entry indexes what is distinctive to its chunk instead of repeating the directory — the one or two most recent committed stubs for chronological continuity, and the slice itself. Sibling stubs from the same pass are not inputs (the concurrent phase forbids it; turn-aligned boundaries carry local continuity instead), and the state checkpoint is background only, never material to summarize into the stub. A slice consisting of recalled content is stubbed by code alone — a pointer line, no LLM call. A failed stub call degrades the same way: its slice gets a code-only pointer stub and the pass continues, making the state rewrite the only hard LLM dependency in a pass.
+
+### The state checkpoint
+
+One mutable working-memory document (at most one; zero before the first pass), positioned after all stubs and before the retained tail. Each pass rewrites it from the previous state plus this pass's staled content — O(previous + new), under the merge-don't-restate rule already in the summarization prompt — covering decisions, current state, constraints, and next steps. It carries its own footer and a size cap at the scale of today's summary.
+
+An inflation guard bounds the whole pass: if the post-compaction size is not strictly below the pre-compaction size, nothing commits and the turn proceeds; the attempt defers until more stale history accumulates. The guard compares one metric on both sides — provider-reported usage from the request path, falling back to the character estimator on both sides.
+
+### Pass execution
+
+- Chunk slices are surface position ranges. A pass runs two phases: all summarize calls execute concurrently, buffered off-surface; then regions commit strictly left to right — chunks first, trailing slice last — so the state checkpoint lands after every stub through contiguous single-node replaces. Wall-clock stays near one summarize call.
+- The superseded state checkpoint folds into the next pass's first chunk as ordinary history: no tombstone, no new primitive. Its stub omits it, `history_read` renders it labeled `[prior state checkpoint]`, and its footer travels with the rendered text, keeping every trailing slice reachable through the two-hop chain.
+- Range selection is frozen-aware: the compactable span begins after the last committed index checkpoint, at the surface head only when none exists. A legacy session's existing head checkpoint is adopted as state-class — its text the merge base, its node folded like any superseded state.
+- A crash in the summarize phase commits nothing; a crash mid-commit leaves a left-to-right prefix committed, and the resumed pass reads its merge base from the log's latest state-class `compact/summary` event and commits the remaining regions unconditionally — restoring `[stubs…][state][tail]` outranks shrinking.
+
+### The recall tools
+
+A new package `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-recall` (consumer-only, over the `dsh-session` and `dsh-compact` vocabularies) registers two model-facing tools:
+
+- `history_read(checkpoint, offset?)` — renders the shadowed span of any checkpoint in the log, including superseded ones, as `User:`/`Assistant:`/`Tool result:` transcript, paginated by a configured budget with a continuation cursor.
+- `history_search(query, checkpoint?, limit?)` — case-insensitive literal scan over every shadowed span; returns snippets with checkpoint ids and coverage metadata (`scanned`/`matched`/`truncated`). The zero-match hint notes the scan is literal and points at direct `history_read` of a plausible checkpoint.
+
+Both read `exec.agent.session.events` (the tool-todo access pattern; non-agent callers rejected), render only surface-type message events, and return ordinary `tool/result`s — recalled bytes land at the context tail, logged, so reconstructability holds with no special casing. There is no new storage and no sidecar index: the session log is the archive, `compact/summary` provenance is the index metadata, and the tools are a read path over both. The tool schemas and the package's one system-prompt section are static strings; checkpoint ids reach the model only through footers. The transcript renderer moves from `compact-basic` into `dsh-session`, shared by summarizer and tools.
+
+### Cache and cost
+
+The request prefix after a pass is `[system][stubs…][state][tail]`. Frozen stubs are byte-stable across passes, so the miss begins at the token replacing the previous state checkpoint and stays O(new chunks + state + tail) — against position zero today. Recall output lands at the tail, leaving the prefix untouched. Per-pass summarize input is roughly twice today's plus an m·S background term, bounded by a `chunkTokens` floor (a small multiple of the state cap) and a validated `stubTokens`/`chunkTokens` ratio ceiling; a shared-prefix input layout (preamble, then the byte-identical pass-start state, slice content in the tail) lets sibling calls earn cached-rate rereads.
+
+### Packaging
+
+The design ships as a new backend `dsh-compact-recallable` on the existing `ctx.compact` seam, enabled by default in the shipped example configs; `compact-basic` remains as the reference implementation and the seam's design twin, in the pattern of the paired LLM adapters. The seam JSDoc's "at most one auto-generated checkpoint, always at the head" clause is relaxed to name both backend behaviors.
+
+### Relation to in-flight work
+
+- **Tool-result pruning** (the in-flight pruning service): its replacement nodes carry `sourceEventSeqs`; the same registry fold lists pruned results as recallable. Follow-up scope; neither blocks the other.
+- **Provider-usage token accounting** (the in-flight move of compaction pressure onto provider-reported usage): supplies the guard's accounting; the implementation stacks after it.
+- **"Query sessions" backlog item**: the cross-session generalization; this RFC scopes to the live session with tool names and rendering chosen so that work extends rather than collides.
+- **Training**: when to recall is a learned behavior. The deterministic footers and keyword anchors give training a stable target, and recall usage is fully visible in the session log for trajectory export; benchmark and RL design proceed with the post-training side.
+
+### Follow-ups
+
+Specified during review, deferred until observation calls for them:
+
+- Guard degradation ladder (code-only rollup of the oldest stub prefix, footers preserved, rolled-up ids remain recall targets; then one summary after the frozen boundary) — on observed guard livelock or stub-region pressure.
+- Echo detection on stub outputs (sentence-scale n-grams, short literals exempt, retry then strip) — on observed division-of-labor leakage.
+- Periodic state refresh from chunk originals — on observed drift in the handoff probe.
+- `stateFallbackThreshold` (full-detail state prompt below a stub count) — on short-session regression.
+- Lazy registration of the recall tools — on measured context tax in never-compacting sessions.
+- Amortized stub drafting at pre-step: as soon as stale-but-uncompacted content accumulates past `chunkTokens`, draft that chunk's stub at the next pre-step (a log-only draft event, written while the chunk's surrounding context is still live) and let the compaction pass commit drafts instead of summarizing in bulk — the deterministic, replay-exact equivalent of background compaction (the Claude Code session-memory pattern; OpenClaw demonstrates the synchronous semantics are identical). Trigger: observed pass latency, or stub-quality gains from drafting near-live proving out.
+- Split summarizer models; model-chosen chunk boundaries; cross-session recall; semantic search fallback — each behind its own evidence.
+- Richer `history_search` query forms — regex, and structured queries over logged JSON tool results (sql/jq-style, or agent-authored queries against an indexed store) — on demand from observed search misses; literal matching ships first because the recall path stays a pure function of the log.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **Staged delivery** (ship recall tools alone over today's backend; gate the checkpoint split on observed recall usage) — rejected: untrained models under-use any new tool, so the gate would measure training absence rather than design value, while the training side needs the complete mechanism to build environments against; the pre-release window is when persisted-format changes are cheapest; and the cache economics are first-party knowledge, not a hypothesis awaiting telemetry. The implementation still lands as stacked PRs with the recall tools first — construction order, not a decision gate.
+- **All-frozen full-size summaries, no state checkpoint** — rejected: unbounded permanent-prefix growth, self-accelerating toward thrashing, with nothing left to re-prioritize.
+- **Pure stubs, no state checkpoint** — rejected: presumes the model knows what it is missing; fails on unknown unknowns.
+- **LLM aging/consolidation of frozen chunks** — rejected as a routine mechanism: summary-of-summary loss and frozen-prefix churn; the code-only rollup is its surviving form, deferred.
+- **Full prefix as chunk-summarizer input** — rejected: O(N²); the state document gives the same background at O(state).
+- **One summarize call emitting all outputs** — rejected: the summarize path has no structured-output enforcement; parsing one free-text response apart is the fragile seam the fail-closed design avoids.
+- **Model-chosen chunk boundaries** — deferred: parse-and-validate cost against unproven value; chunk policy sits behind config.
+- **Model-authored pointers** — rejected: pointers must be exact; deterministic assembly is.
+- **FTS/vector index sidecar** — rejected in-session: the live log is in memory and bounded, a literal scan under budget suffices; an index earns its keep at cross-session scope.
+- **Semantic search fallback / secondary-model extraction in the recall path** — rejected: an LLM or embedding call there breaks keyless replay determinism; recall stays a pure function of the log.
+- **Raw events instead of rendered transcript** — rejected: leaks log-only vocabulary and chunk noise; the model reads what a model once saw.
+- **Doing nothing (resume/fork as recovery)** — rejected: it makes recovery a human act.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- Auto-compaction over a long session yields `[stubs…][state][tail]` after every completed pass; prior stubs stay byte-identical across passes; committed stubs never fall inside a later region; the superseded state checkpoint folds without a tombstone, renders labeled, and stays reachable and searchable through the two-hop chain.
+- Every checkpoint's surface text ends with the deterministic footer; footers round-trip through replay byte-identically; the state checkpoint's provenance records its wider input range.
+- Nothing commits before all summaries exist and the guard passes on like-for-like accounting; a guard failure commits nothing and does not fail the turn; a mid-commit kill resumed at the next pre-step completes the pass with the state region committed unconditionally, merge base read from the log; a legacy head checkpoint is adopted as state-class.
+- `history_read` renders any logged checkpoint's span under budget with a working cursor; `history_search` covers every shadowed span with checkpoint-id snippets and coverage metadata, asserted in particular by finding content that exists only in a span shadowed by a superseded state checkpoint — the regression pin for trailing-slice reachability; both reject non-agent callers and never-existing ids or orphaned `compact/start` with typed errors; recalled content appears as ordinary `tool/result`s; request-reconstruction invariants pass over sessions with compaction plus recall; one keyless snapshot scenario covers compact-then-recall end to end; tool schemas and the prompt section are byte-identical across passes.
+- On the long-horizon bench suite: task success does not regress against `compact-basic` at equal budgets; a handoff-fidelity probe (restate K known decisions and constraints after a pass) scores no worse; recall usage frequency and hit usefulness are reported per run via the dsh bench report pipeline, alongside the stub-directory attention measurement and cache-hit telemetry.
+- Seam JSDoc, the compaction capability-seam RFC, `architecture.md`, and the generated tool, config, persistence, and module-graph catalogs update in the same change; all budgets live in config; new source directories hold per-file 100% coverage with HMR disposal tests.
+
+## Risks
+
+- **Recall is a learned behavior**: untrained models will under-use it, and the bench report exists to track the gap while training closes it. Until then the state checkpoint keeps the floor at today's summary quality.
+- **Unknown unknowns remain**: a detail absent from summaries and keywords draws no recall. Recall converts "unreachable even when suspected" into "reachable when suspected".
+- **The stub directory occupies attention**: dozens of stable index cards per request may dilute focus; the bench measurement in the acceptance criteria tracks it against `compact-basic`.
+- **Cost**: per-pass summarize input is roughly twice today's; short sessions sit near today's cost and quality, and the design pays off with session length.
+- **State drift and division-of-labor leakage** are observable through the handoff probe and stub review; their counters are specified follow-ups.
+- **Two backends** are a maintenance surface; the seam contract and the shared recall consumer bound it, and the bench comparison decides the default over time.

 ## Problem
 
-Add isolated subagent providers for Claude Code and Codex. The existing [named-provider seam](../../implemented/feature/2026-06-21-subagent-capability-seam.md) and [ACP backend](../../implemented/feature/2026-06-22-acp-subagent-backend.md) establish the process-boundary shape. A harness turn should be able to delegate a self-contained task to either product and receive its final answer without exposing parent secrets or inheriting host configuration from `~/.claude` or `~/.codex`.
+The subagent seam ([the seam RFC](../../implemented/feature/2026-06-21-subagent-capability-seam.md)) hosts multiple named providers on `ctx.subagents`, and the ACP backend ([the ACP backend RFC](../../implemented/feature/2026-06-22-acp-subagent-backend.md)) proved the seam generalizes across a process boundary; its Future-providers section explicitly named the Codex app-server and the Claude Code Agent SDK as mechanically similar siblings. Those two are the engines actually worth delegating to today: a harness turn should be able to hand a self-contained task to a real Claude Code or a real Codex — a separate product with its own model, tools, and sandbox — and get back one final answer, without the parent deployment leaking its secrets into the child or the child's behavior silently depending on whatever `~/.claude` / `~/.codex` state exists on the host machine.

+Both providers copy the ACP backend's seam posture verbatim: fresh child per `start`, exactly one prompt round-trip, capabilities all `false`, `inheritsParentContext: false`, `request.parent`/`request.agentOptions` ignored, `id = SessionId(randomUUID())`, `result` never rejects — child-level failure flattens to a stop reason and the original error goes to `ctx.logger` via an `onError` spec callback.

 ## Isolation and credentials
 
-Authentication is API-key-only. Each run uses a fresh config directory (`CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` with `settingSources: []`, or `CODEX_HOME`) that is removed best-effort on dispose; config may instead select a persistent directory. The shared child-env helper forwards ordinary values such as `PATH`, `HOME`, `TMPDIR`, locale, and proxy settings, removes credential-shaped names, and overlays explicit `config.env`. Claude Code receives its API key through that overlay, while Codex receives it through `account/login/start` rather than a hand-written auth file.
+Deployments authenticate with API keys only, and the child must not see the host user's Claude Code / Codex configuration: behavior has to be a function of `cordis.yml` alone. Each run gets a fresh `mkdtemp` config dir — `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` for Claude Code (paired with an explicit `settingSources: []`), `CODEX_HOME` for Codex — removed best-effort on dispose; a config field can pin a persistent dir instead. The child env reuses the ACP backend's `buildChildEnv` semantics verbatim via the extraction: the ambient env is forwarded MINUS credential-shaped vars (`/KEY|SECRET|TOKEN/i`), with `config.env` layered on top — so `PATH`, `HOME`, `TMPDIR`, locale, and proxy vars survive and the CLIs run normally, while only credential-shaped ambient vars are scrubbed (`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` enters explicitly through `config.env` for Claude Code), and the Codex key travels via the `account/login/start` RPC into the isolated `CODEX_HOME` rather than a hand-written `auth.json`.
 
 ## Permission and approval policy
 
-Each backend exposes its engine's native policy vocabulary. Claude Code defaults to `permissionMode: default` with `permission: reject`; Codex defaults to `sandboxMode: read-only`, `approvalPolicy: never`, and the same rejected fallback. Examples opt into `acceptEdits` or `workspace-write`. Known approval, user-input, and elicitation requests receive the configured answer; unknown methods receive method-not-found and unknown notifications are consumed. No prompt reaches a human, and no child can wait indefinitely for unavailable input.
+Instead of collapsing to ACP's single `permission: allow|reject` knob, each backend exposes its engine's native vocabulary as config, with conservative defaults: Claude Code gets `permissionMode` (default `default`) plus `permission: allow|reject` (default `reject`) as the `canUseTool` auto-answer for whatever falls through; Codex gets `sandboxMode` (default `read-only`) and `approvalPolicy` (default `never`) plus the same `permission` fallback for approval requests that still arrive. Defaults are deliberately do-no-harm (the out-of-box child cannot write files); examples demonstrate opening up (`acceptEdits` / `workspace-write`). The mechanical rule: EVERY server-initiated request is settled programmatically and promptly — the enumerated approval/user-input/elicitation requests by the configured policy, an unknown request method with a JSON-RPC method-not-found error response (never left pending), unknown notifications consumed — so no child request can wedge a turn waiting on an answer that will never come. Prompts never reach a human in this cut, matching ACP.

-# RFC: Unify the agent id and the session id
-
-Status: proposed
-
-## Problem
-
-The agent factory carries two ids for each live agent/session pair: `agentId`, the `AgentRegistry` routing handle, and `sessionId`, the event-sourced and persisted-log identity. `CreateAgentOptions` takes both; `ResumeAgentOptions` takes `agentId` plus `resumeSessionId`; in-process subagents mint two independent UUIDs despite recording lineage separately.
-
-ACP already uses the same value for both identities. They diverge for config-created agents, resumed sessions, and in-process children, but no production path reattaches one live agent to several sessions or drives one session through several agent ids. Stdio keeps `labelBySession` only to recover an agent label from session events, and hooks expose both values for authors to reconcile.
-
-The [agent-scope runtime](../../implemented/architecture/2026-07-12-agent-scope-runtime-design.md) has no identity-specific reservation state: create and resume use one `AgentCreationTransaction`, and both registry entries use the same final-entry collision rule. Separate ids do not duplicate liveness, rollback, or quiescence machinery. Unification deletes one caller-supplied id, one UUID per in-process child, and the remaining translation paths without changing the transaction lifecycle; it also makes the live-agent registry enforce the session identity used by background-task ownership.
-
-`Session` separately exposes `Session.id` and `Session.header.id` even though construction requires them to match. The durable boundary must validate the duplicate, and consumers must choose between two homes for one fact.
-
-## Proposal
-
-Use one id for the agent registry entry and `session.header.id`. `CreateAgentOptions` accepts one identity for both final entries; resume registers the agent under the resumed session id; subagent creation mints one combined id; and `Session` keeps one identity home. Preserve the current transaction, final-entry collision checks, exact-entry detach, rollback, and quiescence; remove only maps and fields whose sole job is translating between the ids.
-
-The config-driven path must first settle its resume-or-create policy. Today it uses a stable agent label and a fresh UUID-suffixed session id to avoid colliding with an existing durable log on the next run. Under unification it must deliberately resume a fixed id, mint a fresh combined id, or expose that policy; implementation must not choose silently.
-
-`agent/created` and `agent/disposed` remain outside this proposal. They are publication lifecycle events rather than identity aliases; removing them requires a separate production-consumer audit and decision.
-
-## Alternatives considered
-
-**Keep separate routing and log identities.** A stable configured agent label paired with a fresh conversation is a real use of the distinction. If that display or routing identity is required, reject this proposal and enforce session-id uniqueness explicitly instead of hiding the translation in another map.
-
-## Acceptance criteria
-
-- Agent create/resume and subagent creation carry one identity; `Session` stores it in one place.
-- The creation transaction retains final-entry collision, exact-entry detach, rollback, and quiescence guarantees without identity-specific lifecycle state.
-- ACP, stdio, hooks, bash ownership, persistence, and lineage need no agent/session-id translation.
-- The config-driven resume-or-create policy is explicit and covered across a durable restart.
-- `agent/created` and `agent/disposed` change only after a separate production-consumer audit.
-- Typecheck, coverage, snapshots, doc-sync, module-graph verification, build, and hygiene pass.
-
-## Risks
-
-Unification forecloses a stable actor identity spanning several session logs, including a future handoff or fork that preserves the actor while changing the session. Reintroducing that design would require a new explicit actor identity. It also makes a persisted, possibly client-chosen session id the registry handle and changes every create/resume call site and fixture.
-
-The config restart policy is the blocking design decision: a fixed combined id may collide with its existing log, while a per-run id gives up the stable configured label. If either independent actor identity or the stable-label/fresh-session pairing is required, reject this proposal and retain the separate ids with an explicit uniqueness guard.

-# RFC: Simplify session-log representation
-
-Status: proposed
-
-## Problem
-
-The session log maintains two representations that cost more machinery than their consumers require: a pseudo-linked surface and custom request-header deltas.
-
-`SurfaceManager` stores the same order in an array, a seq map, and mutable `prev`/`next` links. Production never reads either link: compact's tool-pairing balance answers from per-cut balances cached in surface order. Replacement already uses `indexOf`, so the links do not make its dominant operation constant-time. A seq array with linear replacement lookup has the same asymptotic replacement cost and one representation to validate.
-
-The request-header subsystem implements a custom system/tool delta codec and transmission-decision layer even though its contract says deltas are an encoding optimization, not a reconstructability requirement. Retaining the initial/resume full snapshot at each loop-instance boundary, then writing a canonical full `request/header` whenever that instance's assembled header changes, preserves replay while deleting `SystemDelta`, `ToolsDelta`, round-trip fallback, and the durable `request/header-delta` variant. Codec-only vocabulary disappears with the codec, not because its individual arms were invalid.
-
-This proposal deliberately retains append and replacement `sourceEventSeqs`, crash-repair provenance, and all `SessionStartSource` variants: implemented RFCs give those fields an audit/interception role that zero current readers does not overturn.
-
-## Proposal
-
-Make `SurfaceManager.nodes` a `readonly number[]` of event sequences and remove the public `SurfaceNode` shape. Keep the internal replace-generation signal; update tool-pairing balance and compaction callers to use array values/indices for predecessor, successor, and replacement ranges, removing node links and the seq-to-node map. Replace post-anchor header deltas with canonical full changed-header snapshots and remove the delta codec/event/tests; initial and resume anchors remain full snapshots even when the folded header is unchanged.
-
-Amend the session-surface and reconstructable-request RFCs where they describe the removed encoding. Update event types/invariants, request logging/replay, persistence fixtures, generated catalogs, package docs, and snapshots. Replace the codec-only `fallback` reason with an explicit `change` reason for post-anchor full snapshots, distinguishing them from the retained `initial` and `resume` anchors.
-
-`SESSION_FORMAT_VERSION` is deliberately pinned at `0`, so an old v0 log containing `request/header-delta` would otherwise pass the version check and silently lose header changes after the delta fold is deleted. Seed/load validation must reject that legacy event fail-loud at the format boundary; no compatibility fold or migration is added.
-
-## Alternatives considered
-
-**Keep linked nodes and compact deltas for possible scale.** Links could help a future cursor API, and deltas can reduce logs when large tool schemas change by a small amount. No shipped cursor uses the links, while full snapshots trade disk size for substantially simpler correctness. If header volume proves material, compression or a measured canonical-delta scheme can be designed around real traces.
-
-## Acceptance criteria
-
-- `SurfaceManager.nodes` is one ordered seq array with no `SurfaceNode`, link fields, or seq-to-node map; incremental append processing and the internal replace-generation signal remain.
-- Replaying full changed-header snapshots reconstructs exactly the same requests; no header-delta event/type/codec remains.
-- A v0 seed or persisted log containing legacy `request/header-delta` is rejected before replay, with coverage for JSONL and SQLite load paths.
-- New-shape v0 JSONL/SQLite replay, provenance, crash repair, compaction, snapshots, invariants, typecheck, coverage, doc-sync, build, and hygiene pass.
-
-## Risks
-
-Full headers increase log volume, and linear replacement lookup could be slower on very large surfaces. Replacements are already linear because the implementation calls `indexOf`; benchmarks should be added only if real traces show the simpler array is a bottleneck. Because the format version remains `0`, forgetting the explicit legacy-event rejection would be silent data corruption rather than a type error; the fail-loud load test is therefore part of the proposal, not optional cleanup.

+# RFC: Make JSON-RPC completion and transport directional
+
+Status: proposed
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-19-make-jsonrpc-directional.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+The JSON-RPC bridge models both endpoints as symmetric peers although the shipped protocol is directional. The TypeScript server accepts requests and emits responses or notifications, but its transport also implements unused outbound requests and inbound notification dispatch. The Python SDK sends requests and receives responses or notifications, but it also queues unused inbound server requests and exposes response helpers.
+
+`session/prompt` also reports one settled turn through two protocol shapes. The server emits `session.finished` and then returns the constant `{ accepted: true }`; the Python SDK discards that response and waits for the notification to recover the status. Because the response is written only after the handler returns, the notification necessarily precedes the constant response on the same stream.
+
+The unused halves add pending-request maps, generated IDs, request queues, close-time rejection paths, response helpers, and a second completion waiter without serving a production caller.
+
+## Proposal
+
+Specialize each endpoint to its actual role. The TypeScript transport will retain inbound requests, outbound responses, and outbound notifications. The Python client will retain outbound requests and inbound responses or notifications. Delete the opposite-direction request machinery from each side.
+
+Return the settled outcome directly from `session/prompt` as `{ status, reason }` after `agent.whenIdle()`. Delete `session.finished`, the constant acceptance response, and the Python post-response completion loop. `session.event` and subagent notifications still stream before the response, and durable session events remain the source for final-response reconstruction.
+
+## Implementation plan
+
+1. In `packages/ui/jsonrpc/src/server.ts`, replace `SessionPromptResult.accepted` with `status: 'ok' | 'error' | 'aborted'` and the captured `TurnEndReason`. `HarnessSdkServer.prompt()` will return `completed` as `ok`, `aborted` as `aborted`, and every other current or merge-extensible reason as `error`; reaching idle without a `turn/end` remains an invariant error. Remove only `session.finished`, leaving `session.event`, `subagent.started`, and `subagent.finished` unchanged.
+2. In `packages/ui/jsonrpc/src/transport.ts`, replace `JsonRpcTransportPeer` with a server-side notification surface and retain `onRequest()`, `notify()`, `start()`, `flush()`, and `close()`. Remove generated request IDs, the pending-response map, outbound `request()`, inbound response and notification dispatch, and close-time pending-request rejection. Incoming response- and notification-shaped frames will be ignored, while request result, method-not-found, and handler-error responses retain their current behavior and remain ordered after notifications emitted by the awaited handler.
+3. In `python/sdk/src/deepseek_harness/client.py`, `models.py`, and `__init__.py`, remove `IncomingRequest`, `_requests`, `notify()`, `next_request()`, `respond()`, and `respond_error()`. Add a public validated `SessionPromptResponse` carrying status and reason, return it from `session_prompt()`, and keep an explicit reader guard that ignores unexpected server-request frames instead of allowing them to match a response waiter.
+4. In `python/sdk/src/deepseek_harness/api.py`, build `TurnResult.status` and a new `TurnResult.reason` from `SessionPromptResponse`, then delete the `session.finished` branch and second completion loop. Keep the subscription open during the request and preserve `_request_raw()`'s final notification drain so the last `turn/end` event and any subagent notification written before the response are collected before `Session.run()` reconstructs the final assistant message.
+5. Replace the symmetric transport-pair cases in `packages/ui/jsonrpc/tests/transport.spec.ts` with raw client-input/server-output coverage, and update `server.spec.ts`, `plugin-apply.spec.ts`, and `built-scope-carrier.e2e.ts` for direct outcomes, ordering, overlap, shutdown, and the narrowed fake. Update `python/sdk/tests/test_client.py` for response-based settlement, unexpected-request-frame handling, callback and concurrency behavior, and the removed public helpers. Update the JSON-RPC and bilingual Python SDK READMEs, export JSDoc and declarations, `scripts/smoke-python-runtime.py`, and the Python single-executable snapshot.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Keep a generic symmetric JSON-RPC peer for future methods.** Server-initiated requests may eventually support interactive permissions, but no typed method or production consumer exists. The pre-release protocol can add the smallest required direction when that feature is designed instead of carrying an unexercised peer today.
+
+**Keep `session.finished` for streaming clients.** Turn settlement is not incremental data: the request response already marks the same boundary and follows all earlier notifications on the ordered stream. A second terminal notification creates two representations that clients must reconcile.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- The TypeScript endpoint cannot originate requests or consume notifications.
+- The Python endpoint cannot originate notifications or consume server requests.
+- `session/prompt` returns the authoritative `ok`, `error`, or `aborted` outcome and reason after turn settlement.
+- Session events and subagent lifecycle notifications emitted during the turn arrive before the response.
+- Same-session overlap rejection, framing, multibyte input, handler errors, flush, shutdown ordering, and final-response reconstruction retain their behavior.
+- TypeScript bridge tests, Python SDK tests, built JSON-RPC coverage, snapshots, and generated API documentation pass.
+
+## Risks
+
+This deliberately narrows the pre-release wire protocol. Raw clients listening only for `session.finished`, or embedders using the unused symmetric transport methods, must move to the prompt response. A future server-initiated request requires a new typed protocol addition rather than reusing generic dormant machinery.

+# RFC: 让 JSON-RPC 完成结果与传输方向单一化
+
+Status: proposed
+
+[English](2026-07-19-make-jsonrpc-directional.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+JSON-RPC 桥接层把两个端点都建模为对称的对等端，但实际协议具有固定方向。TypeScript 服务端接收请求并发出响应或通知，其传输层却还实现了未使用的出站请求和入站通知分发。Python SDK 发送请求并接收响应或通知，却还会把未使用的服务端入站请求放入队列，并公开响应辅助方法。
+
+`session/prompt` 还会用两种协议结构报告同一个已结束轮次。服务端先发出 `session.finished`，再返回常量 `{ accepted: true }`；Python SDK 丢弃该响应，转而等待通知以取得状态。响应只有在处理函数返回后才会写入，因此在同一条有序流上，通知必然先于这个常量响应。
+
+这些未使用的双向能力引入了待处理请求表、生成 ID、请求队列、关闭时的拒绝路径、响应辅助方法和第二套完成等待逻辑，却没有任何生产调用方使用。
+
+## 提案
+
+按实际角色收窄两个端点。TypeScript 传输层只保留入站请求、出站响应和出站通知。Python 客户端只保留出站请求以及入站响应或通知。删除两侧与实际方向相反的请求机制。
+
+在 `agent.whenIdle()` 完成后，由 `session/prompt` 直接返回 `{ status, reason }` 作为轮次结果。删除 `session.finished`、常量接纳响应以及 Python 中响应后的完成等待循环。`session.event` 与 subagent 通知仍在响应前流式发出，持久会话事件仍是最终响应重建的真源。
+
+## 实施计划
+
+1. 在 `packages/ui/jsonrpc/src/server.ts` 中，用 `status: 'ok' | 'error' | 'aborted'` 和捕获的 `TurnEndReason` 替换 `SessionPromptResult.accepted`。`HarnessSdkServer.prompt()` 把 `completed` 映射为 `ok`，把 `aborted` 映射为 `aborted`，把其他当前或可合并扩展的原因映射为 `error`；进入空闲状态却没有 `turn/end` 仍视为不变量错误。只删除 `session.finished`，保持 `session.event`、`subagent.started` 和 `subagent.finished` 不变。
+2. 在 `packages/ui/jsonrpc/src/transport.ts` 中，用服务端通知接口替换 `JsonRpcTransportPeer`，并保留 `onRequest()`、`notify()`、`start()`、`flush()` 和 `close()`。删除生成的请求 ID、待处理响应表、出站 `request()`、入站响应与通知分发，以及关闭时对待处理请求的拒绝逻辑。入站响应结构和通知结构将被忽略；请求结果、方法不存在与处理器错误响应保持原有行为，并继续排在被等待处理器发出的通知之后。
+3. 在 `python/sdk/src/deepseek_harness/client.py`、`models.py` 和 `__init__.py` 中，删除 `IncomingRequest`、`_requests`、`notify()`、`next_request()`、`respond()` 和 `respond_error()`。新增公开且经过校验的 `SessionPromptResponse` 来携带状态与原因，由 `session_prompt()` 返回该对象，并保留明确的读取保护：忽略意外的服务端请求帧，避免它们命中响应等待器。
+4. 在 `python/sdk/src/deepseek_harness/api.py` 中，根据 `SessionPromptResponse` 构造 `TurnResult.status` 和新增的 `TurnResult.reason`，再删除 `session.finished` 分支与第二个完成循环。请求期间保持订阅打开，并保留 `_request_raw()` 最后的通知排空步骤，确保写在响应前的最后一条 `turn/end` 事件与任何 subagent 通知，都会在 `Session.run()` 重建最终助手消息之前被收集。
+5. 用原始客户端输入与服务端输出覆盖替换 `packages/ui/jsonrpc/tests/transport.spec.ts` 中的对称传输对用例，并更新 `server.spec.ts`、`plugin-apply.spec.ts` 和 `built-scope-carrier.e2e.ts`，覆盖直接结果、顺序、重叠、关闭和收窄后的伪实现。更新 `python/sdk/tests/test_client.py`，覆盖基于响应的结束流程、意外请求帧处理、回调与并发行为，以及已删除的公开辅助方法。同步更新 JSON-RPC README、双语 Python SDK README、导出 JSDoc 与声明、`scripts/smoke-python-runtime.py` 和 Python 单可执行文件快照。
+
+## 备选方案
+
+**为未来方法保留通用的对称 JSON-RPC 对等端。** 服务端发起的请求将来可能用于交互式权限，但当前没有类型化方法或生产消费方。该功能完成设计后，预发布协议可以增加所需的最小方向，无需提前保留未使用的对等端能力。
+
+**为流式客户端保留 `session.finished`。** 轮次结束不是增量数据：请求响应已经标识同一个边界，并且在有序流中位于先前所有通知之后。第二条终止通知会产生两种结果表示，迫使客户端进行协调。
+
+## 验收标准
+
+- TypeScript 端点无法发起请求，也不消费通知。
+- Python 端点无法发起通知，也不消费服务端请求。
+- 轮次结束后，`session/prompt` 返回权威的 `ok`、`error` 或 `aborted` 状态及其原因。
+- 轮次中发出的会话事件与 subagent 生命周期通知都先于响应到达。
+- 同一会话的重叠拒绝、分帧、多字节输入、处理器错误、flush、关闭顺序与最终响应重建保持原有行为。
+- TypeScript 桥接测试、Python SDK 测试、构建后 JSON-RPC 覆盖、快照和生成的 API 文档全部通过。
+
+## 风险
+
+本提案会刻意收窄预发布协议格式。仅监听 `session.finished` 的原始客户端，以及使用未使用对称传输方法的嵌入方，都必须改为读取请求响应。未来若需要服务端发起请求，应新增类型化协议，而不是复用休眠的通用机制。

+# RFC: Retire the standalone subagent mock package
+
+Status: proposed
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-19-retire-subagent-mock-package.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+`@deepseek-ai/dsh-subagent-mock` is a configurable test double packaged as a workspace plugin. Its only external consumers are the `tool-subagent` unit suite and the tool-catalog generator. No runtime package, example, snapshot configuration, or real provider loads it.
+
+That narrow fixture carries a manifest, exports, peer and development dependencies, project references, package README obligations, Loader composition tests, module-graph membership, and documentation-gate exceptions. The tool-catalog generator mounts it only to make the real subagent tool register its schema; it never executes a child.
+
+## Proposal
+
+Delete `packages/support/subagent-mock`. Move the scripted provider behavior actually used by `tool-subagent` into a package-local test fixture while continuing to exercise the real `SubagentService`, provider registry, and tool implementation.
+
+Have the tool-catalog generator register the minimal provider descriptor required before mounting `ToolSubagent`. Remove the package references, manifest dependency, graph node, README allowlists, and mock-specific Loader tests.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Keep a reusable mock package for future tests.** Reuse has not materialized outside one test file and one generator. A future second consumer can extract a fixture once its shared contract is known; packaging all configurable reply, cancellation, result, and Loader behavior today makes test infrastructure look like a supported backend.
+
+**Generate the subagent schema without mounting the real tool.** Hand-constructing or importing the schema would weaken the catalog's check that the production registry and tool composition expose the documented shape. The generator should keep mounting the real service and tool with only the child boundary replaced.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- `packages/support/subagent-mock` and every workspace, graph, dependency, and documentation entry for it are removed.
+- `tool-subagent` tests retain every scripted reply, structured-result, cancellation, foreground/background, and task-integration case they currently exercise through the real service and tool.
+- Tool-catalog generation mounts the production subagent registry and tool with a minimal local provider and produces a byte-identical catalog.
+- No runtime or example package gains a dependency on test-only fixtures.
+- Focused subagent tests, catalog and graph generation, module-graph verification, build, hygiene, and the full pre-push suite pass.
+
+## Risks
+
+Relocating the fixture could accidentally replace too much production composition with a stub. The local fixture must implement only the nondeterministic child boundary; capability checks, lifecycle, task handling, and tool output remain under production code. Mock Loader and HMR coverage can disappear because no deployed composition consumes the package afterward.

+`@deepseek-ai/dsh-subagent-mock` 是一个以工作区插件形式发布的可配置测试替身。它仅有两个外部消费方：`tool-subagent` 单元测试和工具目录生成器。运行时包、示例、快照配置和真实提供方都不会加载它。
+
+这个用途狭窄的 fixture（测试前置数据）需要维护 manifest（元数据清单）、导出、对等依赖（peer dependency）与开发依赖、项目引用、包（package）README 契约、Loader 组合测试、模块图成员关系以及文档门禁例外。工具目录生成器挂载它，只是为了让真实 subagent 工具注册 schema；生成器从不执行子 agent。
+
+## 提案
+
+删除 `packages/support/subagent-mock`。把 `tool-subagent` 实际使用的脚本化提供方行为移入该包的本地测试 fixture，同时继续测试真实的 `SubagentService`、提供方注册表和工具实现。
+
+工具目录生成器在挂载 `ToolSubagent` 前，只注册所需的最小提供方描述。删除该包的项目引用、manifest 依赖、图节点、README 允许列表和 mock 专用 Loader 测试。
+
+## 备选方案
+
+**为未来测试保留可复用 mock 包。** 除一个测试文件和一个生成器外，复用需求并未出现。未来产生第二个消费方时，可以在共享契约明确后再提取 fixture；当前把所有可配置回复、取消、结果与 Loader 行为打包，会使测试基础设施看起来像受支持的后端。
+
+**不挂载真实工具，直接生成 subagent schema。** 手工构造或直接导入 schema，会削弱目录生成器对生产注册表与工具组合是否公开文档结构的校验。生成器应继续挂载真实服务与工具，只替换不确定的子 agent 边界。
+
+## 验收标准
+
+- 删除 `packages/support/subagent-mock`，并移除其全部工作区、图、依赖和文档条目。
+- `tool-subagent` 测试保留当前通过真实服务与工具覆盖的全部脚本化回复、结构化结果、取消、前台与后台运行以及任务集成用例。
+- 工具目录生成器使用最小本地提供方挂载生产 subagent 注册表与工具，并生成字节级一致的目录。
+- 运行时包与示例包都不会新增对测试专用 fixture 的依赖。
+- 聚焦 subagent 测试、目录与图生成、模块图校验、构建、hygiene 和完整 pre-push 门禁全部通过。
+
+## 风险
+
+迁移 fixture 时，可能会误将过多生产组合替换成测试替身。本地 fixture 只能实现不确定的 subagent 边界；能力检查、生命周期、任务处理与工具输出仍由生产代码负责。由于之后不再有部署组合消费该包，可以删除 mock 的 Loader 与 HMR 覆盖。

+# RFC: Use one surface manager per session
+
+Status: proposed
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-19-use-one-session-surface-manager.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+`Session` maintains two `SurfaceManager` instances over the same append-only event log. `surfaceValidator` eagerly validates seed and append candidates, while the lazy `_surface` independently folds committed events for `session.surface`, derived messages, compaction, and workspace context. Once the public surface is read, every later event advances duplicate node and replacement-generation state.
+
+The [session surface decision](../../implemented/architecture/2026-06-18-session-surface.md) calls for one ordered surface and one representation to validate. The second manager does not create an independent authority or protect a different failure boundary; it repeats the canonical fold and gives the two views a state-drift opportunity.
+
+## Proposal
+
+Keep one `SurfaceManager` per `Session`. Seed and append acceptance continue to call `validateNext()` before committing an event, and the public surface view reads `nodes` and `replaceGeneration` from that same manager.
+
+Expose only the readonly surface contract from `Session.surface`; candidate validation remains owned by `Session`. Retain `foldSurface()` as the detached full-log replay function used by offline validation and reconstruction.
+
+## Implementation plan
+
+1. In `packages/core/session/src/surface.ts`, export a structural `SessionSurface` contract containing only readonly `nodes` and `replaceGeneration`, and make `SurfaceManager` implement it. Re-export that type from `packages/core/session/src/index.ts` so `Session.surface` no longer exposes `validateNext()` through its declaration.
+2. In `Session`, replace `surfaceValidator` and lazy `_surface` with one eagerly constructed `surfaceManager`. Route seed and append validation through that manager and return it from `get surface(): SessionSurface`; `deriveMessages()` will read the same nodes and generation. `validateNext()` may synchronize already committed log entries, but it must only plan the uncommitted candidate. The candidate reaches manager state after `log.push()` and the next delta synchronization, so rejection by surface validation or pre-commit `internal/dispatch` cannot leave phantom state.
+3. Keep `foldSurface()` and the transition functions in `surface.ts` unchanged. Compile and exercise the direct consumers in `packages/compact/compact/src/tool-pairing.ts`, `packages/compact/compact-basic/src/region.ts`, and `packages/context/workspace-context/src/state.ts`; they continue to consume only nodes and replacement generation.
+4. Extend `packages/core/session/tests/surface.spec.ts` to read the public view before an invalid candidate, prove that nodes and generation remain at the accepted prefix after rejection, append a later valid event, and compare every resulting prefix with `foldSurface()`. Add an `internal/dispatch` veto case and a type-level `SessionSurface` assertion in `session.spec.ts`, while retaining the seeded replay, delta-growth, replacement, generation, and derived-cache cases.
+5. Run the request-reconstruction, compaction tool-pairing, compaction range, and workspace-context regression suites that consume the surface. In the implementation PR, update `packages/core/session/README.md`, `docs/core-data-structures/session.md`, the implemented session-surface RFC and its Chinese counterpart, the translation record, `scripts/type-equiv.manifest.json`, and the generated RFC index before moving this RFC pair to `implemented/`.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Keep acceptance and projection state separate.** Separate instances appear to isolate public reads from validation, but ordinary callers already receive borrowed surface state and cannot mutate it through the declared readonly contract. A cast that mutates the returned node array already corrupts derived history; duplicating the manager is not a sound runtime trust boundary.
+
+**Recompute the public surface from the full log on every access.** This removes cached duplicate state but gives up incremental derivation and makes repeated request construction scale with complete session history.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- A live `Session` owns exactly one incremental `SurfaceManager`.
+- Seed and append candidates are validated before publication with no partial surface mutation on rejection.
+- `session.surface`, derived messages, compaction, and workspace context observe the same nodes and replacement generation as the acceptance path.
+- `foldSurface()` remains available for detached replay and agrees with the live manager for every accepted prefix.
+- Session surface, seed, request reconstruction, compaction tool-pairing, and workspace-context tests pass.
+
+## Risks
+
+Sharing one manager makes the readonly borrowed-state contract more important because a hostile cast could corrupt both validation and projection state. The implementation should return a narrowed view and keep mutation methods inaccessible through `Session.surface`; JavaScript callers that deliberately bypass the type contract remain outside the supported same-process boundary.

+# RFC: 每个会话只使用一个表层管理器
+
+Status: proposed
+
+[English](2026-07-19-use-one-session-surface-manager.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+`Session` 针对同一份仅追加事件日志维护两个 `SurfaceManager` 实例。`surfaceValidator` 主动校验种子事件与追加候选事件，延迟创建的 `_surface` 则独立折叠已提交事件，供 `session.surface`、派生消息、压缩（compaction）和工作区上下文使用。一旦读取公共表层，之后的每个事件都会推进两份重复的节点状态与替换代数状态。
+
+[会话表层决策](../../implemented/architecture/2026-06-18-session-surface.md)要求系统只保留一个有序表层，并使用一种表示完成校验。第二个管理器既不形成独立真源，也不保护不同的失败边界；它只会重复规范折叠，并使两个视图可能出现状态偏差。
+
+## 提案
+
+每个 `Session` 只保留一个 `SurfaceManager`。种子事件与追加事件的接纳流程仍在提交事件之前调用 `validateNext()`，公共表层视图则从同一个管理器读取 `nodes` 与 `replaceGeneration`。
+
+`Session.surface` 只公开只读表层契约，候选事件校验仍由 `Session` 负责。保留 `foldSurface()`，用于离线校验与重建时执行分离的完整日志回放。
+
+## 实施计划
+
+1. 在 `packages/core/session/src/surface.ts` 中，导出结构化的 `SessionSurface` 契约，只包含只读的 `nodes` 与 `replaceGeneration`，并让 `SurfaceManager` 实现该契约。从 `packages/core/session/src/index.ts` 重新导出这个类型，使 `Session.surface` 的声明不再暴露 `validateNext()`。
+2. 在 `Session` 中，用一个主动创建的 `surfaceManager` 替换 `surfaceValidator` 与延迟创建的 `_surface`。种子事件与追加事件都通过该管理器校验，`get surface(): SessionSurface` 返回同一个对象，`deriveMessages()` 也读取同一份节点与代数。`validateNext()` 可以同步已提交的日志事件，但对尚未提交的候选事件只能制定变更计划。候选事件在 `log.push()` 之后、下一次增量同步时才进入管理器状态，因此表层校验拒绝或提交前 `internal/dispatch` 否决都不会留下虚假状态。
+3. 保持 `foldSurface()` 与 `surface.ts` 中的状态转换函数不变。编译并验证 `packages/compact/compact/src/tool-pairing.ts`、`packages/compact/compact-basic/src/region.ts` 和 `packages/context/workspace-context/src/state.ts` 中的直接消费方；它们仍然只读取节点与替换代数。
+4. 扩展 `packages/core/session/tests/surface.spec.ts`：先读取公共视图，再提交无效候选事件，证明拒绝后节点与代数仍停留在已接纳前缀；随后追加有效事件，并把每个结果前缀与 `foldSurface()` 比较。在 `session.spec.ts` 中新增 `internal/dispatch` 否决用例与类型层面的 `SessionSurface` 断言，同时保留种子回放、增量增长、替换、代数和派生缓存用例。
+5. 运行消费表层的请求重建、压缩工具配对、压缩范围与工作区上下文回归套件。在实现 PR 中，先更新 `packages/core/session/README.md`、`docs/core-data-structures/session.md`、已实现会话表层 RFC 及其中文对应文件、翻译记录、`scripts/type-equiv.manifest.json` 和生成的 RFC 索引，再把本 RFC 双语文件移入 `implemented/`。
+
+## 备选方案
+
+**继续分离接纳状态与投影视图。** 两个独立实例看似能够隔离公共读取和校验，但普通调用方目前取得的就是借用的表层状态，无法通过声明的只读契约修改它。通过类型断言修改返回的节点数组，本就会破坏派生历史；复制管理器并不能构成可靠的运行时信任边界。
+
+**每次读取都根据完整日志重新计算公共表层。** 该方案不再缓存重复状态，但会放弃增量派生，使每次请求构造都随完整会话历史增长。
+
+## 验收标准
+
+- 每个活跃 `Session` 只拥有一个增量 `SurfaceManager`。
+- 种子事件与追加候选事件都在发布前完成校验，拒绝事件时不会留下只修改一半的表层状态。
+- `session.surface`、派生消息、压缩和工作区上下文观察到的节点与替换代数，和接纳路径使用的状态完全一致。
+- `foldSurface()` 仍可用于分离回放，并且对任意已接纳前缀都与活跃管理器一致。
+- 会话表层、种子、请求重建、压缩工具配对和工作区上下文测试全部通过。
+
+## 风险
+
+共享一个管理器会提高只读借用状态契约的重要性，因为恶意类型断言可能同时破坏校验状态和投影视图。实现应返回收窄后的视图，避免通过 `Session.surface` 暴露修改方法；刻意绕过类型契约的 JavaScript 调用方不属于受支持的同进程边界。

+# RFC: Fold the single compaction backend into its service package
+
+Status: rejected — More compaction backends are planned, so the interface and basic implementation packages remain separate.
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-19-fold-compaction-package-split.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+Compaction is split between `@deepseek-ai/dsh-compact`, which owns an abstract two-method service and shared types, and `@deepseek-ai/dsh-compact-basic`, which owns the only complete implementation. Shipped configurations load only the basic package, and no production package independently consumes the interface package except that implementation.
+
+The split adds a package manifest, README, project boundary, dependency edge, abstract forwarding class, generated catalog entries, and composition wiring without demonstrating backend substitution. The [capability-seam decision](../../implemented/architecture/2026-06-13-capability-seams.md) requires a real interface, implementation, and consumer rather than a preemptive split; the [compaction decision](../../implemented/feature/2026-06-18-compaction-capability-seam.md) records that its independent consumer was deferred.
+
+## Proposal
+
+Move the basic implementation into `@deepseek-ai/dsh-compact` and remove `@deepseek-ai/dsh-compact-basic`. Keep `ctx.compact`, `CompactionResult`, the shared transcript and tool-pairing helpers, the existing configuration, and the concrete compaction algorithm in one package.
+
+Preserve `summarize()` as a protected customization hook. A deployment-specific summarizer can subclass or intercept the existing LLM call without requiring a second capability package. Reintroduce an interface package only when a second complete backend and an independent consumer need substitution.
+
+Amend the implemented compaction decision and the [recallable-compaction proposal](../../proposed/feature/2026-07-06-recallable-compaction.md) if this proposal is accepted so package ownership has one durable description.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Keep the split because a remote or recall backend may arrive.** A possible future implementation does not justify the current package boundary. Recall adds a consumer of compaction results, not necessarily another implementation, and a remote summarizer can use the protected hook.
+
+**Move the implementation package name onto the interface package.** Keeping `compact-basic` as the surviving name would make the product service appear to be one optional backend. `compact` is the stable service identity already used by `ctx.compact` and is the clearer single-package owner.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- `@deepseek-ai/dsh-compact-basic` and its workspace/package metadata are removed.
+- `@deepseek-ai/dsh-compact` owns the current configuration, plugin class, algorithm, types, events, and shared helpers.
+- Existing deployments can load the surviving package with equivalent configuration and model-visible behavior.
+- Automatic and manual compaction preserve cancellation, locking, token accounting, tool pairing, durable events, provenance, retry convergence, and transcript rendering.
+- Loader composition, unit, runaway-turn, cancellation, snapshot, and real-model compaction tests pass; generated catalogs and module graphs are current.
+
+## Risks
+
+This is an intentional pre-release package-name contraction. Embedders loading `@deepseek-ai/dsh-compact-basic` must switch packages, and future backend substitution would require extracting a boundary again. The cost is acceptable only while one complete implementation exists; acceptance should be revisited if a second backend lands first.

+# RFC: 将唯一的压缩后端并入服务包
+
+Status: rejected — 计划增加更多压缩后端，因此接口包与 basic 实现包继续分离。
+
+[English](2026-07-19-fold-compaction-package-split.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+压缩（compaction）目前拆分在两个包中：`@deepseek-ai/dsh-compact` 拥有一个含两个方法的抽象服务和共享类型，`@deepseek-ai/dsh-compact-basic` 拥有唯一的完整实现。交付配置只加载 basic 包，除了该实现外，没有生产包独立消费接口包。
+
+该拆分增加了一份包（package）manifest（元数据清单）、README、项目边界、依赖边、抽象转发类、生成目录项和组合接线，却没有体现后端替换需求。[能力服务边界决策](../../implemented/architecture/2026-06-13-capability-seams.md)要求接口、实现和消费方都必须真实存在，而不能预先拆分；[压缩决策](../../implemented/feature/2026-06-18-compaction-capability-seam.md)也记录了独立消费方仍被推迟。
+
+## 提案
+
+把 basic 实现移入 `@deepseek-ai/dsh-compact`，并删除 `@deepseek-ai/dsh-compact-basic`。`ctx.compact`、`CompactionResult`、共享 transcript（文本记录）和工具配对辅助方法、现有配置以及具体压缩算法都由一个包负责。
+
+保留 `summarize()` 作为受保护的自定义钩子。部署专用的摘要器可以通过继承或拦截现有 LLM（大语言模型）调用完成定制，无需第二个能力包。只有在第二个完整后端与独立消费方确实需要替换实现时，才重新提取接口包。
+
+如果本提案获准，应同步修订已实现的压缩决策与[可回忆压缩提案](../../proposed/feature/2026-07-06-recallable-compaction.md)，使包所有权只有一处持久说明。
+
+## 备选方案
+
+**为可能出现的远程或回忆后端保留拆分。** 一种可能的未来实现不足以支撑当前包边界。回忆功能会增加压缩结果的消费方，但不一定增加另一种实现；远程摘要器也可以使用受保护钩子。
+
+**让接口包并入实现包名。** 如果保留 `compact-basic` 作为最终名称，产品服务会看起来像一个可选后端。`compact` 已经是 `ctx.compact` 使用的稳定服务标识，更适合作为单包所有者。
+
+## 验收标准
+
+- 删除 `@deepseek-ai/dsh-compact-basic` 及其工作区和包元数据。
+- `@deepseek-ai/dsh-compact` 拥有当前配置、插件类、算法、类型、事件和共享辅助方法。
+- 现有部署可以使用等效配置加载保留的包，模型可见行为不变。
+- 自动压缩和手动压缩保留取消、锁、token 用量、工具配对、持久事件、来源、重试收敛和 transcript 渲染行为。
+- Loader 组合、单元、失控轮次、取消、快照和真实模型压缩测试全部通过；生成目录与模块图保持最新。
+
+## 风险
+
+这是一项有意实施的预发布包名收缩。加载 `@deepseek-ai/dsh-compact-basic` 的嵌入方必须切换包，未来的后端替换也需要重新提取边界。只有在仍然只有一个完整实现时，这项代价才可接受；如果第二个后端先行落地，应重新评估是否接纳本提案。

-Execute a bash command (`bash -c`) and return its stdout/stderr. Each call runs in a fresh shell: no state (cwd, variables, functions) persists between calls — pass `workdir` instead of using `cd`. Non-zero exits are reported as `[exit code: N]`. Commands may run under a file sandbox; a blocked file operation is reported as `[sandbox: file access denied under <mode> mode]` — a policy denial, not a bug in the command; do not retry another way. Long output is truncated to its tail; the full output is saved to a file whose path is reported when available. Set `run_in_background: true` for long-running commands: the call returns a task id immediately; read its output with `task_output` and stop it with `task_kill`.

 - `parallel(thunks): Promise<any[]>` — run zero-argument functions concurrently and await ALL of them (a barrier; use only when a stage genuinely needs every prior result together). A throwing thunk resolves to `null`.

Use this for work that fans out across many independent pieces — an audit over many files, a migration, multi-angle research, adversarial verification of findings — where you write the orchestration as a script instead of delegating turn by turn. The workflow's identity rides the `meta` parameter as JSON: required `name` (short kebab-case) and `description` strings, optional `whenToUse` string and `phases` array (`{title, detail?, model?}`). The `script` parameter is the plain JavaScript body ONLY (NOT TypeScript, and NO `export const meta` statement — meta is a parameter, not code), running with top-level await; end with `return <value>` — the value must be JSON-serializable and is this tool's result. Script-body hooks: - `agent(prompt, opts?): Promise<any>` — run one subagent to completion. Without `opts.schema` it resolves to the child's final text; with `opts.schema` (an object-rooted JSON Schema using ONLY type/properties/required/additionalProperties/items/enum/const — no oneOf/pattern/format/numeric bounds) it resolves to the validated object. Resolves `null` when the child fails (filter with `.filter(Boolean)`). Other opts: `label` (display), `phase` (progress group), `model` (override). Anything else (`effort`/`isolation`/`agentType`) is rejected loudly. - `pipeline(items, ...stages): Promise<any[]>` — run each item through the stages independently with NO barrier between stages (prefer this for multi-stage work). Each stage receives `(prev, item, index)`. An ordinary stage throw drops that ITEM to `null` and skips its remaining stages. - `parallel(thunks): Promise<any[]>` — run zero-argument functions concurrently and await ALL of them (a barrier; use only when a stage genuinely needs every prior result together). A throwing thunk resolves to `null`. - `phase(title)` — start a progress phase; `log(message)` — narrate progress; `args` — the tool call's `args` input, verbatim. Misused hooks (bad arguments, unknown options, unsupported schemas, tripped caps) throw errors that ALWAYS kill the script — they never dissolve into a per-item `null`. Constraints: concurrency and total-agent caps apply; no filesystem, network, timers, or Node.js APIs are provided — the agents do the work, the script only coordinates them. The run executes in the foreground: this call returns when the whole script finishes. */
+  /** Run a JavaScript workflow script that orchestrates subagents at scale. Use this for work that fans out across many independent pieces — an audit over many files, a migration, multi-angle research, adversarial verification of findings — where you write the orchestration as a script instead of delegating turn by turn. The workflow's identity rides the `meta` parameter as JSON: required `name` (short kebab-case) and `description` strings, optional `whenToUse` string and `phases` array (`{title, detail?, provider?, model?}`). The `script` parameter is the plain JavaScript body ONLY (NOT TypeScript, and NO `export const meta` statement — meta is a parameter, not code), running with top-level await; end with `return <value>` — the value must be JSON-serializable and is this tool's result.

Resolves `null` when the child fails (filter with `.filter(Boolean)`).

+You are an AI agent powered by the DeepSeek Harness SDK.
+
+You are a coding assistant powered by the deepseek-v4-flash model. Your working directory is {{cwd}}.
+
+Verify your work by running the code or tests. Keep answers brief and factual.
+
+
+Use the read tool — not shell commands like cat — to inspect text files. Results include line numbers. Use offset and limit to continue reading large files.
+
+Use the write tool to create files or completely replace file contents. Existing files are overwritten, so read an existing file first (the default fs-policy requires it) and prefer edit for targeted changes.
+
+Use the edit tool for targeted changes to existing UTF-8 text files. It replaces literal old_string with new_string; by default old_string must appear exactly once. If old_string appears multiple times, provide a more specific old_string or set replace_all to true. Read the file first (the default fs-policy requires it), unless you just created or edited it in this session.
+
+Check the [exit code: N] marker on every bash result; investigate failures before moving on.
+
+Track every background task id you start. You are notified in-session when a task finishes — do not busy-poll or sleep on one; keep working on independent steps and do not duplicate a running task's work. Before giving a final answer, collect every still-relevant task with task_output (set wait: true only when you are genuinely blocked on it), and task_kill tasks that stopped mattering.
+
+Approval prompts are disabled in this session: actions that require approval are rejected automatically — do not request sandbox escalation (do not set `sandbox_permissions`).
+<!-- dsh-user-approval-policy:never -->
+
+Use the workflow tool ONLY when the user explicitly asks for a workflow or for large multi-agent orchestration: you write a JavaScript script (the tool description documents the exact format) that fans work out across many subagents with phases and structured results. For one or two delegations, prefer plain subagent calls.
+
+## Writing code for run_code
+
+Pass `run_code` the body of an async TypeScript function (erasable syntax only — no `enum` or namespaces; type annotations are advisory, the code runs type-stripped). Inside the program:
+
+- Call tools as `await tools.name(args)` — quoted access for exotic names: `tools["my-tool"](args)`. Every call resolves to the tool's text output as a string. Tool arguments must be JSON-serializable.
+- A FAILED tool call rejects with an `Error` carrying the tool's error text — `try/catch` it to handle and continue.
+- Calls execute sequentially, even under `Promise.all`.
+- Emit results with `return` and/or `console.log(...)`. ONLY what you print or return comes back to you — intermediate tool results never enter the conversation, so extract just what you need.
+
+The available tools:
+
+```ts
+declare const tools: {
+  /** Execute a bash command (`bash -c`) and return its stdout/stderr. Each call runs in a fresh shell: no state (cwd, variables, functions) persists between calls — pass `workdir` instead of using `cd`. Non-zero exits are reported as `[exit code: N]`. Current harness environment facts are exposed through managed `$DSH_*` variables; inspect them when needed. Commands may run under a file sandbox; a blocked file operation is reported as `[sandbox: file access denied under <mode> mode]` — a policy denial, not a bug in the command; do not retry another way. Long output is truncated to its tail; the full output is saved to a file whose path is reported when available. Set `run_in_background: true` for long-running commands: the call returns a task id immediately; read its output with `task_output` and stop it with `task_kill`. Attempting a command the sandbox may deny is safe and expected: run it and read the marker rather than assuming the denial. When a command is denied and a wider mode would let it succeed, escalate immediately in the same turn — the one sanctioned exception to a denial: retry the exact same command once with `sandbox_permissions` (the narrowest wider mode that suffices) plus a one-sentence `justification`. Do not detour through chat to ask permission first — the approval prompt raised by that retry is how the user consents. If the session states approval prompts are disabled, there is no exception: a denial is final — do not set `sandbox_permissions`. Never escalate speculatively: ground the request in a real denial — normally the one this command just hit; escalating up front is fine only when this session already denied the same access. A rejected escalation is final for that command — stop and explain, never work around it — but it does not forbid attempting or escalating other commands later. */

Use this for work that fans out across many independent pieces — an audit over many files, a migration, multi-angle research, adversarial verification of findings — where you write the orchestration as a script instead of delegating turn by turn. The workflow's identity rides the `meta` parameter as JSON: required `name` (short kebab-case) and `description` strings, optional `whenToUse` string and `phases` array (`{title, detail?, provider?, model?}`). The `script` parameter is the plain JavaScript body ONLY (NOT TypeScript, and NO `export const meta` statement — meta is a parameter, not code), running with top-level await; end with `return <value>` — the value must be JSON-serializable and is this tool's result. Script-body hooks: - `agent(prompt, opts?): Promise<any>` — run one subagent to completion. Without `opts.schema` it resolves to the child's final text; with `opts.schema` (an object-rooted JSON Schema using ONLY type/properties/required/additionalProperties/items/enum/const — no oneOf/pattern/format/numeric bounds) it resolves to the validated object. Resolves `null` when the child fails (filter with `.filter(Boolean)`). Other opts: `label` (display), `phase` (progress group), and independent `provider`/`model` LLM target overrides (either may be provided alone). Anything else (`effort`/`isolation`/`agentType`) is rejected loudly. - `pipeline(items, ...stages): Promise<any[]>` — run each item through the stages independently with NO barrier between stages (prefer this for multi-stage work). Each stage receives `(prev, item, index)`. An ordinary stage throw drops that ITEM to `null` and skips its remaining stages. - `parallel(thunks): Promise<any[]>` — run zero-argument functions concurrently and await ALL of them (a barrier; use only when a stage genuinely needs every prior result together). A throwing thunk resolves to `null`. - `phase(title)` — start a progress phase; `log(message)` — narrate progress; `args` — the tool call's `args` input, verbatim. Misused hooks (bad arguments, unknown options, unsupported schemas, tripped caps) throw errors that ALWAYS kill the script — they never dissolve into a per-item `null`. Constraints: concurrency and total-agent caps apply; no filesystem, network, timers, or Node.js APIs are provided — the agents do the work, the script only coordinates them. The run executes in the foreground: this call returns when the whole script finishes. */

Each call runs in a fresh shell: no state (cwd, variables, functions) persists between calls — pass `workdir` instead of using `cd`. Non-zero exits are reported as `[exit code: N]`. Current harness environment facts are exposed through managed `$DSH_*` variables; inspect them when needed. Commands may run under a file sandbox; a blocked file operation is reported as `[sandbox: file access denied under <mode> mode]` — a policy denial, not a bug in the command; do not retry another way. Long output is truncated to its tail; the full output is saved to a file whose path is reported when available. Set `run_in_background: true` for long-running commands: the call returns a task id immediately; read its output with `task_output` and stop it with `task_kill`. Attempting a command the sandbox may deny is safe and expected: run it and read the marker rather than assuming the denial. When a command is denied and a wider mode would let it succeed, escalate immediately in the same turn — the one sanctioned exception to a denial: retry the exact same command once with `sandbox_permissions` (the narrowest wider mode that suffices) plus a one-sentence `justification`. Do not detour through chat to ask permission first — the approval prompt raised by that retry is how the user consents. If the session states approval prompts are disabled, there is no exception: a denial is final — do not set `sandbox_permissions`. Never escalate speculatively: ground the request in a real denial — normally the one this command just hit; escalating up front is fine only when this session already denied the same access. A rejected escalation is final for that command — stop and explain, never work around it — but it does not forbid attempting or escalating other commands later.",

Use this for work that fans out across many independent pieces — an audit over many files, a migration, multi-angle research, adversarial verification of findings — where you write the orchestration as a script instead of delegating turn by turn.\n\nThe workflow's identity rides the `meta` parameter as JSON: required `name` (short kebab-case) and `description` strings, optional `whenToUse` string and `phases` array (`{title, detail?, provider?, model?}`). The `script` parameter is the plain JavaScript body ONLY (NOT TypeScript, and NO `export const meta` statement — meta is a parameter, not code), running with top-level await; end with `return <value>` — the value must be JSON-serializable and is this tool's result.\n\nScript-body hooks:\n- `agent(prompt, opts?): Promise<any>` — run one subagent to completion. Without `opts.schema` it resolves to the child's final text; with `opts.schema` (an object-rooted JSON Schema using ONLY type/properties/required/additionalProperties/items/enum/const — no oneOf/pattern/format/numeric bounds) it resolves to the validated object. Resolves `null` when the child fails (filter with `.filter(Boolean)`). Other opts: `label` (display), `phase` (progress group), and independent `provider`/`model` LLM target overrides (either may be provided alone). Anything else (`effort`/`isolation`/`agentType`) is rejected loudly.\n- `pipeline(items, ...stages): Promise<any[]>` — run each item through the stages independently with NO barrier between stages (prefer this for multi-stage work). Each stage receives `(prev, item, index)`. An ordinary stage throw drops that ITEM to `null` and skips its remaining stages.\n- `parallel(thunks): Promise<any[]>` — run zero-argument functions concurrently and await ALL of them (a barrier; use only when a stage genuinely needs every prior result together). A throwing thunk resolves to `null`.\n- `phase(title)` — start a progress phase; `log(message)` — narrate progress; `args` — the tool call's `args` input, verbatim.\n\nMisused hooks (bad arguments, unknown options, unsupported schemas, tripped caps) throw errors that ALWAYS kill the script — they never dissolve into a per-item `null`.\n\nConstraints: concurrency and total-agent caps apply; no filesystem, network, timers, or Node.js APIs are provided — the agents do the work, the script only coordinates them.

Each call runs in a fresh shell: no state (cwd, variables, functions) persists between calls — pass `workdir` instead of using `cd`. Non-zero exits are reported as `[exit code: N]`. Current harness environment facts are exposed through managed `$DSH_*` variables; inspect them when needed. Commands may run under a file sandbox; a blocked file operation is reported as `[sandbox: file access denied under <mode> mode]` — a policy denial, not a bug in the command; do not retry another way. Long output is truncated to its tail; the full output is saved to a file whose path is reported when available. Set `run_in_background: true` for long-running commands: the call returns a task id immediately; read its output with `task_output` and stop it with `task_kill`. Attempting a command the sandbox may deny is safe and expected: run it and read the marker rather than assuming the denial. When a command is denied and a wider mode would let it succeed, escalate immediately in the same turn — the one sanctioned exception to a denial: retry the exact same command once with `sandbox_permissions` (the narrowest wider mode that suffices) plus a one-sentence `justification`. Do not detour through chat to ask permission first — the approval prompt raised by that retry is how the user consents. If the session states approval prompts are disabled, there is no exception: a denial is final — do not set `sandbox_permissions`. Never escalate speculatively: ground the request in a real denial — normally the one this command just hit; escalating up front is fine only when this session already denied the same access. A rejected escalation is final for that command — stop and explain, never work around it — but it does not forbid attempting or escalating other commands later.",

Use this for work that fans out across many independent pieces — an audit over many files, a migration, multi-angle research, adversarial verification of findings — where you write the orchestration as a script instead of delegating turn by turn.\n\nThe workflow's identity rides the `meta` parameter as JSON: required `name` (short kebab-case) and `description` strings, optional `whenToUse` string and `phases` array (`{title, detail?, provider?, model?}`). The `script` parameter is the plain JavaScript body ONLY (NOT TypeScript, and NO `export const meta` statement — meta is a parameter, not code), running with top-level await; end with `return <value>` — the value must be JSON-serializable and is this tool's result.\n\nScript-body hooks:\n- `agent(prompt, opts?): Promise<any>` — run one subagent to completion. Without `opts.schema` it resolves to the child's final text; with `opts.schema` (an object-rooted JSON Schema using ONLY type/properties/required/additionalProperties/items/enum/const — no oneOf/pattern/format/numeric bounds) it resolves to the validated object. Resolves `null` when the child fails (filter with `.filter(Boolean)`). Other opts: `label` (display), `phase` (progress group), and independent `provider`/`model` LLM target overrides (either may be provided alone). Anything else (`effort`/`isolation`/`agentType`) is rejected loudly.\n- `pipeline(items, ...stages): Promise<any[]>` — run each item through the stages independently with NO barrier between stages (prefer this for multi-stage work). Each stage receives `(prev, item, index)`. An ordinary stage throw drops that ITEM to `null` and skips its remaining stages.\n- `parallel(thunks): Promise<any[]>` — run zero-argument functions concurrently and await ALL of them (a barrier; use only when a stage genuinely needs every prior result together). A throwing thunk resolves to `null`.\n- `phase(title)` — start a progress phase; `log(message)` — narrate progress; `args` — the tool call's `args` input, verbatim.\n\nMisused hooks (bad arguments, unknown options, unsupported schemas, tripped caps) throw errors that ALWAYS kill the script — they never dissolve into a per-item `null`.\n\nConstraints: concurrency and total-agent caps apply; no filesystem, network, timers, or Node.js APIs are provided — the agents do the work, the script only coordinates them.

+You are an AI agent powered by the DeepSeek Harness SDK.
+
+You are a coding assistant powered by the deepseek-v4-flash model. Your working directory is {{cwd}}. Your bash tool runs under a file sandbox — a `[sandbox: file access denied …]` result is policy, not a command bug.
+
+Verify your work by running the code or tests. Keep answers brief and factual.
+
+
+Check the [exit code: N] marker on every bash result; investigate failures before moving on.
+
+Track every background task id you start. You are notified in-session when a task finishes — do not busy-poll or sleep on one; keep working on independent steps and do not duplicate a running task's work. Before giving a final answer, collect every still-relevant task with task_output (set wait: true only when you are genuinely blocked on it), and task_kill tasks that stopped mattering.
 
 Approval prompts are disabled in this session: actions that require approval are rejected automatically — do not request sandbox escalation (do not set `sandbox_permissions`).

-      "description": "Run a JavaScript workflow script that orchestrates subagents at scale. Use this for work that fans out across many independent pieces — an audit over many files, a migration, multi-angle research, adversarial verification of findings — where you write the orchestration as a script instead of delegating turn by turn.\n\nThe workflow's identity rides the `meta` parameter as JSON: required `name` (short kebab-case) and `description` strings, optional `whenToUse` string and `phases` array (`{title, detail?, model?}`). The `script` parameter is the plain JavaScript body ONLY (NOT TypeScript, and NO `export const meta` statement — meta is a parameter, not code), running with top-level await; end with `return <value>` — the value must be JSON-serializable and is this tool's result.\n\nScript-body hooks:\n- `agent(prompt, opts?): Promise<any>` — run one subagent to completion. Without `opts.schema` it resolves to the child's final text; with `opts.schema` (an object-rooted JSON Schema using ONLY type/properties/required/additionalProperties/items/enum/const — no oneOf/pattern/format/numeric bounds) it resolves to the validated object. Resolves `null` when the child fails (filter with `.filter(Boolean)`). Other opts: `label` (display), `phase` (progress group), `model` (override). Anything else (`effort`/`isolation`/`agentType`) is rejected loudly.\n- `pipeline(items, ...stages): Promise<any[]>` — run each item through the stages independently with NO barrier between stages (prefer this for multi-stage work). Each stage receives `(prev, item, index)`.

Each call runs in a fresh shell: no state (cwd, variables, functions) persists between calls — pass `workdir` instead of using `cd`. Non-zero exits are reported as `[exit code: N]`. Current harness environment facts are exposed through managed `$DSH_*` variables; inspect them when needed. Commands may run under a file sandbox; a blocked file operation is reported as `[sandbox: file access denied under <mode> mode]` — a policy denial, not a bug in the command; do not retry another way. Long output is truncated to its tail; the full output is saved to a file whose path is reported when available. Set `run_in_background: true` for long-running commands: the call returns a task id immediately; read its output with `task_output` and stop it with `task_kill`. Attempting a command the sandbox may deny is safe and expected: run it and read the marker rather than assuming the denial. When a command is denied and a wider mode would let it succeed, escalate immediately in the same turn — the one sanctioned exception to a denial: retry the exact same command once with `sandbox_permissions` (the narrowest wider mode that suffices) plus a one-sentence `justification`. Do not detour through chat to ask permission first — the approval prompt raised by that retry is how the user consents. If the session states approval prompts are disabled, there is no exception: a denial is final — do not set `sandbox_permissions`. Never escalate speculatively: ground the request in a real denial — normally the one this command just hit; escalating up front is fine only when this session already denied the same access. A rejected escalation is final for that command — stop and explain, never work around it — but it does not forbid attempting or escalating other commands later.",

+You are an AI agent powered by the DeepSeek Harness SDK.
+
+You are a coding assistant powered by the deepseek-v4-flash model. Your working directory is {{cwd}}.
+
+Verify your work by running the code or tests. Keep answers brief and factual.
+
+
+Use the read tool — not shell commands like cat — to inspect text files. Results include line numbers. Use offset and limit to continue reading large files.
+
+Use the write tool to create files or completely replace file contents. Existing files are overwritten, so read an existing file first (the default fs-policy requires it) and prefer edit for targeted changes.
+
+Use the edit tool for targeted changes to existing UTF-8 text files. It replaces literal old_string with new_string; by default old_string must appear exactly once. If old_string appears multiple times, provide a more specific old_string or set replace_all to true. Read the file first (the default fs-policy requires it), unless you just created or edited it in this session.
+
+Check the [exit code: N] marker on every bash result; investigate failures before moving on.
+
+Track every background task id you start. You are notified in-session when a task finishes — do not busy-poll or sleep on one; keep working on independent steps and do not duplicate a running task's work. Before giving a final answer, collect every still-relevant task with task_output (set wait: true only when you are genuinely blocked on it), and task_kill tasks that stopped mattering.
+
+Approval prompts are disabled in this session: actions that require approval are rejected automatically — do not request sandbox escalation (do not set `sandbox_permissions`).
+<!-- dsh-user-approval-policy:never -->
+
+Use the workflow tool ONLY when the user explicitly asks for a workflow or for large multi-agent orchestration: you write a JavaScript script (the tool description documents the exact format) that fans work out across many subagents with phases and structured results. For one or two delegations, prefer plain subagent calls.

Commands may run under a file sandbox; a blocked file operation is reported as `[sandbox: file access denied under <mode> mode]` — a policy denial, not a bug in the command; do not retry another way. Long output is truncated to its tail; the full output is saved to a file whose path is reported when available. Set `run_in_background: true` for long-running commands: the call returns a task id immediately; read its output with `task_output` and stop it with `task_kill`. Attempting a command the sandbox may deny is safe and expected: run it and read the marker rather than assuming the denial. When a command is denied and a wider mode would let it succeed, escalate immediately in the same turn — the one sanctioned exception to a denial: retry the exact same command once with `sandbox_permissions` (the narrowest wider mode that suffices) plus a one-sentence `justification`. Do not detour through chat to ask permission first — the approval prompt raised by that retry is how the user consents. If the session states approval prompts are disabled, there is no exception: a denial is final — do not set `sandbox_permissions`. Never escalate speculatively: ground the request in a real denial — normally the one this command just hit; escalating up front is fine only when this session already denied the same access. A rejected escalation is final for that command — stop and explain, never work around it — but it does not forbid attempting or escalating other commands later.",

Use this for work that fans out across many independent pieces — an audit over many files, a migration, multi-angle research, adversarial verification of findings — where you write the orchestration as a script instead of delegating turn by turn.\n\nThe workflow's identity rides the `meta` parameter as JSON: required `name` (short kebab-case) and `description` strings, optional `whenToUse` string and `phases` array (`{title, detail?, provider?, model?}`). The `script` parameter is the plain JavaScript body ONLY (NOT TypeScript, and NO `export const meta` statement — meta is a parameter, not code), running with top-level await; end with `return <value>` — the value must be JSON-serializable and is this tool's result.\n\nScript-body hooks:\n- `agent(prompt, opts?): Promise<any>` — run one subagent to completion. Without `opts.schema` it resolves to the child's final text; with `opts.schema` (an object-rooted JSON Schema using ONLY type/properties/required/additionalProperties/items/enum/const — no oneOf/pattern/format/numeric bounds) it resolves to the validated object. Resolves `null` when the child fails (filter with `.filter(Boolean)`). Other opts: `label` (display), `phase` (progress group), and independent `provider`/`model` LLM target overrides (either may be provided alone). Anything else (`effort`/`isolation`/`agentType`) is rejected loudly.\n- `pipeline(items, ...stages): Promise<any[]>` — run each item through the stages independently with NO barrier between stages (prefer this for multi-stage work). Each stage receives `(prev, item, index)`. An ordinary stage throw drops that ITEM to `null` and skips its remaining stages.\n- `parallel(thunks): Promise<any[]>` — run zero-argument functions concurrently and await ALL of them (a barrier; use only when a stage genuinely needs every prior result together). A throwing thunk resolves to `null`.\n- `phase(title)` — start a progress phase; `log(message)` — narrate progress; `args` — the tool call's `args` input, verbatim.\n\nMisused hooks (bad arguments, unknown options, unsupported schemas, tripped caps) throw errors that ALWAYS kill the script — they never dissolve into a per-item `null`.\n\nConstraints: concurrency and total-agent caps apply; no filesystem, network, timers, or Node.js APIs are provided — the agents do the work, the script only coordinates them.

-      "description": "Run a JavaScript workflow script that orchestrates subagents at scale. Use this for work that fans out across many independent pieces — an audit over many files, a migration, multi-angle research, adversarial verification of findings — where you write the orchestration as a script instead of delegating turn by turn.\n\nThe workflow's identity rides the `meta` parameter as JSON: required `name` (short kebab-case) and `description` strings, optional `whenToUse` string and `phases` array (`{title, detail?, model?}`). The `script` parameter is the plain JavaScript body ONLY (NOT TypeScript, and NO `export const meta` statement — meta is a parameter, not code), running with top-level await; end with `return <value>` — the value must be JSON-serializable and is this tool's result.\n\nScript-body hooks:\n- `agent(prompt, opts?): Promise<any>` — run one subagent to completion. Without `opts.schema` it resolves to the child's final text; with `opts.schema` (an object-rooted JSON Schema using ONLY type/properties/required/additionalProperties/items/enum/const — no oneOf/pattern/format/numeric bounds) it resolves to the validated object. Resolves `null` when the child fails (filter with `.filter(Boolean)`). Other opts: `label` (display), `phase` (progress group), `model` (override). Anything else (`effort`/`isolation`/`agentType`) is rejected loudly.\n- `pipeline(items, ...stages): Promise<any[]>` — run each item through the stages independently with NO barrier between stages (prefer this for multi-stage work).

+      "description": "Run a JavaScript workflow script that orchestrates subagents at scale. Use this for work that fans out across many independent pieces — an audit over many files, a migration, multi-angle research, adversarial verification of findings — where you write the orchestration as a script instead of delegating turn by turn.\n\nThe workflow's identity rides the `meta` parameter as JSON: required `name` (short kebab-case) and `description` strings, optional `whenToUse` string and `phases` array (`{title, detail?, provider?, model?}`). The `script` parameter is the plain JavaScript body ONLY (NOT TypeScript, and NO `export const meta` statement — meta is a parameter, not code), running with top-level await; end with `return <value>` — the value must be JSON-serializable and is this tool's result.\n\nScript-body hooks:\n- `agent(prompt, opts?): Promise<any>` — run one subagent to completion. Without `opts.schema` it resolves to the child's final text; with `opts.schema` (an object-rooted JSON Schema using ONLY type/properties/required/additionalProperties/items/enum/const — no oneOf/pattern/format/numeric bounds) it resolves to the validated object. Resolves `null` when the child fails (filter with `.filter(Boolean)`). Other opts: `label` (display), `phase` (progress group), and independent `provider`/`model` LLM target overrides (either may be provided alone). Anything else (`effort`/`isolation`/`agentType`) is rejected loudly.\n- `pipeline(items, ...stages): Promise<any[]>` — run each item through the stages independently with NO barrier between stages (prefer this for multi-stage work). Each stage receives `(prev, item, index)`. An ordinary stage throw drops that ITEM to `null` and skips its remaining stages.\n- `parallel(thunks): Promise<any[]>` — run zero-argument functions concurrently and await ALL of them (a barrier; use only when a stage genuinely needs every prior result together). A throwing thunk resolves to `null`.\n- `phase(title)` — start a progress phase; `log(message)` — narrate progress; `args` — the tool call's `args` input, verbatim.\n\nMisused hooks (bad arguments, unknown options, unsupported schemas, tripped caps) throw errors that ALWAYS kill the script — they never dissolve into a per-item `null`.\n\nConstraints: concurrency and total-agent caps apply; no filesystem, network, timers, or Node.js APIs are provided — the agents do the work, the script only coordinates them.

+The dependency graph is generated: [docs/module-graph.md](../docs/module-graph.md) (`pnpm run gen-module-graph`, freshness-gated in CI).
 
 The rule it must obey: **extension plugins depend on interfaces, never on the concrete loop.** `dsh-agent-loop` is swappable — UI/hook/tool plugins keep working against the `dsh-agent` vocabulary if the loop is replaced. The sanctioned exception is a **composition/bundle** package like `dsh-agent-spine-demo`, whose whole job is to assemble the concrete spine: it depends on `dsh-agent-loop` (and the other concrete spine plugins) on purpose. The rule constrains plugins that EXTEND the system, not the bundle that COMPOSES it. A swappable capability splits into interface / implementation / consumer packages (the bash trio is the template — see [capability seams](../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-13-capability-seams.md)).

@@ -23,8 +23,8 @@ Design surveyed against the bash tools of Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, and pi;
 
 - **Spawn per call, no shell state** — every call is a fresh non-login `bash -c` (deterministic; no rc files). All four surveyed tools spawn per call. `XXX(stateful-shell)` in `src/run.ts` records the two proven stateful designs (Claude Code's cwd-only persistence; Codex's PTY exec sessions) for when real workflows demand them.
 - **Process-group kills with escalation** — children are spawned `detached` (own process group); kills send SIGTERM to the group, then SIGKILL after the `graceMs` grace (default 3s — OpenCode's escalation; pipelines and subshells die with the parent). ESRCH is tolerated; daemons that re-parent away from the group can still survive — same caveat as the surveyed tools.
-- **Tail-keep truncation + spill files** — output beyond `maxOutputBytes` keeps the in-memory TAIL (errors/results cluster at the end — pi/OpenCode rationale) while the FULL stream is appended to a temp file whose path is reported when available. If the final spill close reports a delayed writeback failure, the executor still returns the tail but withholds the path rather than advertising a possibly incomplete file.
-- **Model-friendly env + credential scrub** — `process.env` minus credential-shaped vars (`*KEY*`/`*SECRET*`/`*TOKEN*`), then `NO_COLOR=1 TERM=dumb PAGER=cat GIT_PAGER=cat` (Codex's hardcoded set) so pagers and ANSI color don't garble results. This scrub is the security control that keeps the harness's *ambient* credentials out of a spawned command. A spec's `env` is merged LAST (after the scrub), so a caller's explicit entry — a value it already holds — wins even on a credential-shaped name. The spec's `stdin`, when supplied, is written to the child and closed; with none supplied, fd 0 is `/dev/null` — the exact pre-seam default, so a command that probes stdin's file type is unaffected. Both `env`/`stdin` are set by in-process plugins (the hooks bridges); the model-facing tool doesn't expose them. See [the bash-stdin-env RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-30-bash-stdin-env-trusted-plugin-surface.md).
+- **Tail-keep truncation + spill files** — output beyond `maxOutputBytes` keeps the in-memory TAIL (errors/results cluster at the end — pi/OpenCode rationale) while the FULL stream is appended to a temp file whose path is reported when available. A foreground `BashExecRequest.stdoutMaxBytes` can raise stdout's capture budget for one trusted caller; stderr and background tasks still use `maxOutputBytes`. If the final spill close reports a delayed writeback failure, the executor still returns the tail but withholds the path rather than advertising a possibly incomplete file.
+- **Model-friendly env + credential scrub** — `process.env` minus credential-shaped vars (`*KEY*`/`*SECRET*`/`*TOKEN*`) and all ambient `DSH_*` names, then `NO_COLOR=1 TERM=dumb PAGER=cat GIT_PAGER=cat` (Codex's hardcoded set) so pagers and ANSI color don't garble results. A spec's ordinary `env` is merged after the scrub but rejects `DSH_*`; managed `dshEnv` rejects ordinary names and merges last, preventing stale nested-harness identity. Supplied stdin is written and closed; otherwise fd 0 is `/dev/null`. See the [stdin/env RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-30-bash-stdin-env-trusted-plugin-surface.md) and [managed environment RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/feature/2026-07-10-agent-session-identity-and-log-location.md).
 - **Background processes** — `start()` returns a live `BashProcess` handle immediately, no timeout applies (Claude Code detaches timeouts when backgrounding), the handle's `readOutput()` is incremental with whole-stream byte offsets, and disposal kills every running process and awaits its exit. Everything task-shaped (ids, ownership, polling, notices) lives in the generic [`ctx.tasks` runtime](../../tasks/tasks/README.md), which the tool layer registers the handle with — this executor never sees a session or a registry.

+`BashExecRequest` (command, workdir?, timeoutMs?, stdoutMaxBytes?, signal?, stdin?, env?, dshEnv?, sandboxMode?) resolves to `BashExecSpec` (command, workdir, timeoutMs, stdoutMaxBytes, signal?, stdin?, env?, dshEnv?, sandboxMode) before execution. `stdoutMaxBytes` is a trusted foreground-run capture budget for consumers that must parse complete bounded stdout; the model-facing bash tool does not expose it. `sandboxMode` is optional on the request and required-but-nullable on the resolved spec: it carries an approved one-shot escalation or the session's standing override; a sandboxing executor stamps its configured default when absent, while a non-sandboxing executor carries the field and confines nothing.
 
 The seam also owns the per-session mode override vocabulary: the log-only `'bash/sandbox-mode'` session event, the pure `effectiveSandboxMode(events)` fold, and the `setSandboxMode(session, mode)` write path. `run()` returns `BashRunResult`; `start()` returns `BashProcess`, whose incremental read and kill methods are adapted by `dsh-tool-bash` into a generic task registration. A sandboxing executor stamps `BashSandboxInfo` on foreground results and settled process handles. See `src/types.ts` and [core-data-structures/bash.md](../../../docs/core-data-structures/bash.md).
 
-`stdin` and `env` are set by in-process plugins (the hooks bridges, native plugins) to feed a hook command its JSON payload on stdin and its `CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR`/`CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT` env. The model-facing `dsh-tool-bash` tool does not expose them as parameters — a model already has equivalent power through shell syntax (`FOO=bar cmd`, a heredoc), so they would be redundant tool params. This is not a security boundary: the implementation's credential scrub (not these fields) is what keeps the harness's ambient secrets out of a spawned command. They are plain optionals on the resolved spec; a missing value means "none". See [the bash-stdin-env RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-30-bash-stdin-env-trusted-plugin-surface.md).
+`stdin` and ordinary `env` are set by in-process plugins (the hooks bridges, native plugins) to feed a hook command its JSON payload and `CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR`/`CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT` values. `dshEnv` is a separate trusted overlay restricted by type to managed keys; the exported `DSH_ENV_PREFIX` is the single source for that namespace, its `DshEnvironmentKey` template type, executor scrubbing, registry validation, derived built-in names, and model guidance. Model bash uses the current snapshot collected by `ctx.bashEnv`. Implementations remove inherited managed keys, reject those names in ordinary `env`, then merge `dshEnv`, so an omitted current fact cannot fall back to stale ambient state. The model-facing tool exposes none of these as parameters. All three remain optional on the resolved spec; absent means no input/overlay. See [the bash-stdin-env RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-30-bash-stdin-env-trusted-plugin-surface.md) and [the session environment RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/feature/2026-07-10-agent-session-identity-and-log-location.md).

 `command`, `workdir`, and `timeoutMs` are resolved against the executor's config defaults via `ctx.bash.resolve()` before execution, so the executor seam (`BashExecSpec`) receives explicit `workdir`/`timeoutMs` values. The workdir default is applied in the tool layer (from the calling agent's `session.header.cwd`) BEFORE `resolve()` — the per-session cwd must come from `exec.agent`, since N sessions share one executor; only when no session cwd is available does the executor fall back to its own config / `process.cwd()`.
 
+### Managed shell environment
+
+Every foreground and background model bash call receives a newly collected trusted `DSH_*` environment. `DSH_HOME` is the absolute Harness home resolved by [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-home`](../../util/home/README.md) (`dshHome` config, then ambient `$DSH_HOME`, then `~/.dsh`) and `DSH_SHELL=1` identifies the managed child. Agent calls additionally receive `DSH_SESSION_ID=agent.session.header.id`; when the active persistence seam locates a JSONL artifact they also receive `DSH_SESSION_JSONL=<absolute target path>`. The JSONL path is a location hint: it may not exist before the first flush or contain the current buffered turn, and it is not an authorization credential.
+
+`ctx.bashEnv` owns collection. Other plugins can register an effect-scoped contributor with a stable name, declared keys/descriptions, and `resolve(execution: ToolExecution)`; duplicate ownership and undeclared runtime keys fail loudly, while `list()` enumerates declarations without executing providers. Harness built-ins reserve `DSH_HOME`, `DSH_SHELL`, and `DSH_SESSION_ID`; tool-bash's persistence translator owns `DSH_SESSION_JSONL` by reading the backend-neutral `sessionPersistence.locate()` seam.
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+import type {} from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-bash'
+
+export const inject = ['bashEnv']
+
+export function apply(ctx: Context): void {
+  ctx.bashEnv.register({
+    name: 'deployment-region',

+    resolve: execution => execution.agent === undefined ? {} : { DSH_DEPLOYMENT_REGION: 'cn-north' },
+  })
+}
+```
+
+The overlay is computed from the current `ToolExecution` and passed through the dedicated `BashExecRequest.dshEnv` channel. The local executor removes all inherited `DSH_*` before merging that snapshot, so nested harnesses and concurrent parent/child agents cannot leak stale identities. `process.env` is never modified. The tool description teaches the generic `$DSH_*` convention rather than naming persistence-specific variables or adding a permanent system-prompt section.

 Result text contains stdout, an optional `[stderr]` section, then applicable sandbox-denial, timeout, signal, exit-code, and truncation markers. Timeout is reported independently of final exit status; nonzero exit remains a model-interpreted result rather than `isError`. Truncation links a safe complete spill file or reports it unavailable. Only infrastructure failures such as spawn errors and aborts produce `isError`.
 
 When `run_in_background` is true, this plugin preflights `ctx.tasks.start()` before spawning, registers the calling agent as owner, and adapts the returned `BashProcess` handle into generic cancel/done/incremental-output hooks. The task runtime owns ids, cross-session isolation, completion notices, waiting, and disposal cleanup; this plugin only maps bash exit/sandbox facts into task output and outcome detail. `enableRunInBackground: false` removes the parameter and rejects a forced background call at execution time.

 ## The tool builds its request from named args only
 
-The `BashExecRequest` seam carries optional `stdin` and `env`, used by trusted in-process plugins. This tool does **not** expose or forward them: it builds requests from named command/workdir/timeout/signal/sandbox fields only. This is not a trust boundary; the local executor's ambient credential scrub is the security control.
+The `BashExecRequest` seam carries optional `stdoutMaxBytes`, `stdin`, ordinary `env`, and managed `dshEnv`, used by trusted in-process plugins and this tool's environment registry. The model-facing tool exposes none of `stdoutMaxBytes`, `stdin`, or `env`: it builds requests from named command/workdir/timeout/signal/sandbox fields plus the registry-collected `dshEnv`. Extra model keys are ignored and cannot replace managed values. Shell syntax provides equivalent command-level behavior, while the local executor scrubs ambient credentials and stale `DSH_*` values. See the [stdin/env RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-30-bash-stdin-env-trusted-plugin-surface.md).

 - **Measurement** — the singleton `ctx.tokenMeter` prices the latest canonical logged envelope and current surface at one consumed-log revision. Post-step pressure therefore includes the actual system prompt, tools, prefix, routing, assistant completion, tool results, buffered context, and steering.
 - **Retention** — compact the oldest whole surface units while preserving a recent tail and balanced tool-call/result cuts through the [`dsh-compact` boundary helpers](../compact/README.md#tool-pairing-boundaries). Turn boundaries do not protect old steps inside a runaway turn. An open indivisible tail declines until it closes; a single unit larger than the budget remains out of scope.
 - **Convergence** — retry head-checkpoint compaction up to `compactionRetries`; reject a summary that does not shrink its source, and throw if retries cannot return below threshold.
-- **Summarization** — a direct `llm/stream` call uses the configured model and cap without running the loop-only `agent/request` seam. The input transcript preserves non-text blocks as tagged placeholders; only returned text enters the checkpoint, excluding reasoning and tool calls that would leak private reasoning or create an orphaned call.
+- **Summarization** — a direct `llm/stream` call uses the configured provider/model pair and cap, falling back to the latest logged request target and then the agent target, without running the loop-only `agent/request` seam. The input transcript preserves non-text blocks as tagged placeholders; only returned text enters the checkpoint, excluding reasoning and tool calls that would leak private reasoning or create an orphaned call.
 - **Framing** — the replacement user message marks established checkpoint context with `<compacted-summary>` tags. The raw summary remains on the provenance event, and later automatic cycles merge the prior checkpoint.
-- **Lifecycle** — `compactRegion()` requires its agent to own the exact target session and rejects mismatch before resolution or mutation; a valid call records its start, summary, replacement, and end. The serial `agent/post-step` listener checks pressure after successful output and tool work are durable but before `step/end`. Canonical provider overflow is handled through `agent/request-error` after the failed step closes.

Canonical provider overflow is handled through `agent/request-error` after the failed step closes.
 - **Overflow recovery** — below-threshold overflow bypasses normal retention and attempts one maximal balanced head reduction while leaving the newest indivisible unit. Retry is authorized only when `surface.replaceGeneration` advances; no range, no replacement, recovery failure, an exhausted cap, cancellation, or an unknown/noncanonical error preserves the original provider failure.
-- **Failure handling** — an unmatched `compact/start` is an inert crash marker because no replacement landed. Operational post-step failures warn and continue; overflow-recovery failure preserves the original provider error.

 | `compactIfNeeded(agent, trigger, signal)` | Consider automatic compaction for `trigger: 'pressure' \| 'context-overflow'`. A pressure trigger may apply the backend's threshold and retained-tail policy; a confirmed overflow may force a useful balanced reduction. Returns the `CompactionResult`, or `null` when no safe range exists. A backend's summarization request is a direct `ctx.llm.stream()` call (not a loop step), so per-call interception happens at `llm/stream`. |
-| `compactRegion(session, start, end, agent, signal?)` | Forcibly summarize surface nodes `[start, end]` (inclusive seqs) into a single replacement node. The agent must own the exact target (`session === agent.session`); a backend rejects mismatch before model resolution, lock acquisition, summarization, or log mutation. **Throws** if a compaction is already in progress, if `start`/`end` aren't surface nodes, or if `start` is positioned after `end` on the surface. The range is a SURFACE-POSITION span, not a numeric seq interval — after a prior replace lands a fresh high-seq summary node at the shadowed range's position, surface order no longer tracks seq order. |

+
+`CompactionResult` keeps the raw summary and bookkeeping-event seqs available to callers alongside the shadowed range and token accounting; its drift-checked shape lives in the [compaction data-structure reference](../../../docs/core-data-structures/compaction.md#compactionresult).
 
 `compactIfNeeded` takes a required `signal`; `compactRegion`'s is optional. A backend that summarizes via `ctx.llm.stream()` **must** forward it into the call's `GenerateOptions.signal`, so an abort or fiber dispose tears down the in-flight summarization instead of leaving an orphaned model call running past the cancellation. The turn that the `compact/*` events belong to is recoverable from the owned session's log (the currently-open turn), so the backend stamps it from the log rather than trusting a caller-supplied value.
 
 ## Tool-pairing boundaries
 
-The interface exports `toolPairingBalancedBefore(session, node)` and `toolPairingBalancedAfter(session, node)` for snapping and validating compaction edges. A safe edge has no unanswered assistant tool call crossing it. Each helper identifies the node by seq alone and answers from balances cached per cut in current surface order, so a stale caller-held `node.next` cannot choose the cut.

A safe edge has no unanswered assistant tool call crossing it. Each helper validates that the event sequence is in the current surface and answers from balances cached per cut in surface order.
 
-The private per-session cache is keyed by `session.surface.replaceGeneration` and the processed surface-node count.

-When `timeZone` is omitted, the plugin 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 `timeZone` must be an IANA identifier and is validated at plugin load. `refreshIntervalMs` must be a non-negative safe integer. Every turn's first request refreshes; later steps reuse the reading until its age reaches the interval. `0` refreshes every step. Refresh occurs only during request assembly and creates no timer work.
+When `timeZone` is omitted, the plugin 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 `timeZone` must be an IANA identifier and is validated at plugin load.
 
-## Message baseline
+`refreshIntervalMs` must be a non-negative safe integer. Omission or `0` appends on every pre-step attempt whose signal is not already aborted. A positive value appends only when the session has no earlier time-context injection, wall time moved backward, or at least that many milliseconds have elapsed since the latest injection.
 
-The duration starts at the latest user, assistant, tool-result, context, or steering message before the current `turn/start`. Every refresh in the turn retains that baseline, so the current prompt does not collapse the interval to approximately zero. The first turn reports that no earlier message exists. The durable clock source is session-event append time, not client send time.
+## Timing semantics
 
-The loop records the dynamic section in `request/header` / `request/header-delta`. Requests therefore remain reconstructable, carry one timing block, and retain no earlier readings in conversation history.
+The plugin prepends an `agent/pre-step` listener. When an injection is due, it appends one `context/message` through `agent.inject()` before `step/start` and ordinary automatic compaction, with source `{ kind: 'plugin', plugin: 'time-context' }`. A suppressed attempt appends nothing.
+
+Positive-interval scheduling scans the raw durable session events for the latest `context/message` with that source, including a reading shadowed by compaction. The schedule therefore applies across turns and resumed processes without process-local cache state. It reduces append frequency and history growth but never removes an existing reading, and sessions schedule independently.
+
+Step 1 measures from the latest preceding model-visible message, including the prompt that opened the turn. Later steps measure from the preceding time-context event in the same turn. Both baselines use durable session-event timestamps; backward wall-clock movement clamps elapsed time to zero. A missing first-step baseline, or a later step with no earlier same-turn reading because interval suppression skipped it, reports `unavailable`.
+
+A time reading records a request-preparation attempt, not a committed step or transmitted request. Because the listener runs first, its append may remain when a later pre-step listener cancels or fails the attempt; the log is append-only and the plugin performs no rollback.
+
+The time reading stays in derived conversation history until a later compaction shadows it. Request headers contain no time-context state. Request reconstruction uses the complete durable surface prefix at each `step/start`, so transmitted requests need not map one-to-one to readings: a failed preparation can leave an extra reading, while interval suppression can let a request reuse existing history without adding one.
 
 ## Model Experience
 
-### Temporal system prompt
+### Preparation-time temporal context
 
-**What the model sees**: Every request in an active turn includes the two lines below. `<timestamp>` is an ISO-shaped local timestamp with numeric offset and IANA zone; `<duration-or-unavailable>` is compact whole-second units or the first-turn fallback.
+**What the model sees**: On each preparation attempt that injects, one source-tagged context message containing the two lines below. `<timestamp>` is an ISO-shaped local timestamp with numeric offset and IANA zone; durations use compact whole-second units. Positive intervals can leave an attempted step without a new reading.
 
-**Token effect**: Fixed two-line cost per request. A refresh replaces the request-header section; prior readings do not accumulate.
+**Token effect**: Each injected two-line message accumulates until compaction shadows it. A positive interval reduces additions; omission or `0` adds one for every eligible preparation attempt.

 ## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
 
-- **Request-bound refresh only** — no clock update is emitted while the agent is waiting inside a model call or tool; the next assembled step refreshes once the configured interval has elapsed.
-- **Whole-second display** — timestamps and durations omit sub-second precision even when `refreshIntervalMs` is below 1,000.
-- **Session-event baseline** — elapsed time starts from the durable append timestamp, not a client transport's original send timestamp.
+- **Whole-second display** — timestamps and durations omit sub-second precision even though durable event times retain milliseconds.
+- **Session-event baseline** — elapsed time starts from durable append timestamps, not a client transport's original send timestamp.
 - **Process-local default zone** — omission uses the Node process's `TZ`, host, or container zone captured at plugin load, not a remote user's zone; configure an explicit IANA zone when those differ.
+- **History cost between compactions** — omission or `0` retains one reading for every eligible preparation attempt, including attempts later cancelled or failed; a positive interval reduces but does not eliminate this cost.

+
+Per-session workspace instruction loading for `AGENTS.md`-compatible files. The plugin freezes the initial user-global and project instruction chain into the request prefix, then discovers nested files and reports later changes or removals through durable context messages after successful filesystem tool calls.
+
+## Lifecycle
+
+The baseline is composed once per agent-loop instance on `agent/session-prefix`. It reads `$DSH_HOME/AGENTS.md` followed by one configured instruction candidate in each directory from the project root to `agent.session.header.cwd`. The prefix is placed before all derived history, recorded in `EpochHeader.messagePrefix`, and reused verbatim for that loop instance. Because the plugin prepends its contribution before delegating, a later-registered skills catalog appears after workspace instructions.
+
+The plugin also listens on `tools/post-execute` for successful first-party `read`, `write`, and `edit` calls. Each touch checks newly reached descendant scopes and every previously loaded scope. A new file is attached through the result's `additionalContexts`; a changed file or candidate switch appends a replacement; a missing final candidate appends a removal notice. Native calls and Code Mode sub-dispatches share this path: `run_code` defers each nested context until its outer result, so the loop still appends updates after tool-call/result adjacency is complete. This follows structured filesystem activity rather than shell `cd`, because each local bash call starts a fresh shell and parsing arbitrary shell syntax would be unreliable.
+
+Instruction reads use the optional `ctx.fs` provider. The plugin does not statically inject `fs`, so providerless product trees still boot and instruction loading becomes a no-op until a provider is present. It calls `ctx.fs.lstat` before resolving a candidate, rejecting a final-component symlink instead of following repository-owned links across the trust boundary. Once `lstat` identifies the winning regular-file candidate, a later resolve/stat failure makes that scope temporarily unavailable instead of falling through to a lower-priority name. Prefix cancellation and dynamic tool cancellation propagate through resolution, metadata probes, and streaming reads. A provider failure after a file was loaded is treated as temporarily unavailable, not as proof that the file was deleted.
+
+## Prompt Shape
+
+Baseline instructions are request-only user-role prefix messages framed with the familiar system-reminder pattern:
+
+```md
+<system-reminder>
+The following workspace instructions may be relevant to your work. Use them as guidance when applicable. More specific instructions take precedence over broader ones. They do not override system, developer, or direct user instructions.

+Instructions from: ~/.dsh/AGENTS.md
+
+...
+
+Instructions from: AGENTS.md
+
+...
+</system-reminder>
+```
+
+Newly reached scopes use a durable raw `context/message`:
+
+```md
+<system-reminder>
+Additional instructions from: packages/app/AGENTS.md
+
+These instructions apply to work under `packages/app`. Use them as guidance when relevant; more specific instructions take precedence. They do not override system, developer, or direct user instructions.
+
+...
+</system-reminder>
+```
+
+A same-file edit starts with `Updated instructions from: <path>` and says to use the new content instead of the previously loaded content. A candidate switch additionally names the old path. When no candidate remains, the message is `Instructions removed: <path>` followed by `The previously loaded instructions from this file no longer apply.` Literal `</system-reminder>` text inside an instruction file is escaped so file content cannot close the plugin-owned frame.
+
+The core `context/message` envelope is disabled for these messages because the plugin already owns the complete `<system-reminder>` framing. This is caller-selected with `envelope: 'raw'`; ordinary injected context still receives the canonical `<context source="...">` envelope.
+
+## State And Refresh
+
+Model-visible text contains no hidden state markers. Each dynamic context event instead carries JSON metadata with a versioned list of `{ action, scope, path, previousPath?, digest? }` changes. On every relevant tool touch, the plugin reconstructs loaded state from its visible session events and overlays a short in-memory pending window for context present on the immutable top-level `tools/result` but not yet appended by the loop. A matching durable `context/message` confirms the pending transition. If the owning `step/end` arrives before a matching context reaches the log, the plugin clears the pending transition and its version fast path so the next successful touch can load it again. Nested Code Mode results stage pending changes under the outer execution token for same-run duplicate suppression; the outer result rolls that state back and recommits only contexts that survived outer policy.
+
+An unchanged path and SHA-1 content digest is not injected again. A per-session, per-scope metadata cache stores only `{ path, version, digest }`: when the provider's opaque `FsVersion` and the effective visible state both match, reconciliation skips the content read; a changed version triggers a bounded read and SHA-1 confirmation before any model-visible update. Resume works because SHA-1 state is persisted in the session log, while an empty in-memory version cache merely causes one confirming read. Compaction re-arms a scope after its context event leaves the visible surface even when the cached version is unchanged. A removal is a tombstone, so a later candidate reappearance is loaded again. Only model-visible changes actually rendered within the byte budget enter metadata, pending state, and the version cache; an omitted change remains eligible for a later touch, while a same-digest version refresh updates metadata only.
+
+The frozen baseline itself is not rewritten mid-instance. Its initial path/digest map is retained as comparison state; the next successful filesystem touch appends any baseline replacement or removal. A resumed loop recomposes the current baseline and also reconciles still-visible dynamic scopes during prefix composition. There is no file watcher, so an on-disk change becomes visible at the next successful `read`, `write`, or `edit` touch, or when a resumed loop composes its prefix.
+
+## Configuration
+
+```ts
+export interface Config {
+  dshHome?: string
+  projectRootMarkers?: string[]
+  maxBytes: number
+  maxSourceBytes?: number
+  instructionFileCandidates?: string[]
+}
+```
+
+`maxBytes` is required so each deployment makes its prompt-budget choice explicitly. `maxSourceBytes` limits each source instruction file before rendering and defaults to 1 MiB. `projectRootMarkers` defaults to `['.git']`, and `instructionFileCandidates` defaults to `['AGENTS.md', 'CLAUDE.md']`. In each project directory, the first existing candidate wins; with defaults, `AGENTS.md` is native and `CLAUDE.md` is the compatibility fallback. Candidate entries must be same-directory file names, so empty entries, `.`/`..`, and entries containing `/` or `\` are ignored.
+
+The user-global file is always `$DSH_HOME/AGENTS.md`; the candidate list only controls project scopes. `$DSH_HOME` defaults to `~/.dsh`, and configured `~`, `~/...`, and Windows-style `~\...` prefixes are expanded against the operating-system home directory. A non-positive or non-finite render budget disables both baseline and dynamic loading; configured `maxSourceBytes` must be a positive integer.
+
+## Budgeting And Bounded Reads
+
+Rendering preserves the most specific instruction files first. It drops whole broader files before truncating the most-specific file and emits a visible `Workspace instruction budget ...` notice naming omitted and truncated paths. The rendered bytes never exceed `maxBytes`.
+
+Instruction content is read through `streamText()` under `maxSourceBytes`, even when provider metadata omits size or a file grows after its metadata probe. An oversized file is ignored without falling through to a lower-priority same-directory candidate; during dynamic reconciliation it is temporarily unavailable rather than removed. The plugin keeps no process-wide cache and never caches instruction prose. Its session-local scope cache uses provider versions only as a fast invalidation signal; after invalidation, SHA-1 over the bounded read remains the cross-provider content identity stored in structured session metadata.
+
+## Model Experience
+
+### Baseline session prefix
+
+**What the model sees**: At the first request of each loop instance, the model receives one user-role prefix message containing the bounded user-global and project instruction chain in broad-to-specific order.
+
+**Token effect**: The rendered baseline is frozen and resent on every request in that loop instance. `maxBytes` bounds the complete message, broader files are omitted before the most-specific file is truncated, and an empty chain contributes zero tokens.
+
+#### Baseline instruction template
+
+```markdown
+<system-reminder>
+The following workspace instructions may be relevant to your work. Use them as guidance when applicable. More specific instructions take precedence over broader ones. They do not override system, developer, or direct user instructions.
+
+Instructions from: ~/.dsh/AGENTS.md
+
+<user-global-instructions>
+
+Instructions from: AGENTS.md
+
+<project-instructions>
+</system-reminder>
+```
+
+### Newly discovered scope context
+
+**What the model sees**: After a successful first-party filesystem call reaches a deeper directory, the next request includes one retained raw `context/message` with the newly applicable instruction file.
+
+**Token effect**: Each discovered scope adds bounded history tokens until compaction. Unchanged content is suppressed by visible session state plus version/digest comparison, and Code Mode defers the same message until after the outer `run_code` result.
+
+#### Additional instruction template
+
+```markdown
+<system-reminder>
+Additional instructions from: packages/app/AGENTS.md
+
+These instructions apply to work under `packages/app`. Use them as guidance when relevant; more specific instructions take precedence. They do not override system, developer, or direct user instructions.
+
+<nested-instructions>
+</system-reminder>
+```
+
+### Changed or removed instruction context
+
+**What the model sees**: A changed file produces `Updated instructions from: <path>` plus its replacement content; a candidate switch also names the previous path. A removed final candidate produces the removal notice below.
+
+**Token effect**: Each confirmed change or removal is one retained history message bounded by `maxBytes`. Provider failures add no message, and an update omitted by the budget remains eligible for a later filesystem touch.
+
+#### Removal notice
+
+```markdown
+<system-reminder>
+Instructions removed: packages/app/AGENTS.md
+
+The previously loaded instructions from this file no longer apply.
+</system-reminder>
+```
+
+## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
+
+- **Discovery follows structured fs tools, not shell navigation** — a `bash` command that changes directories does not trigger nested instruction discovery because shell syntax and per-call shell state are not a reliable filesystem seam.
+- **Refresh is touch-driven** — there is no watcher; external edits become visible on the next successful first-party `read`, `write`, or `edit`, or when a resumed loop recomposes its prefix.
+- **Candidate semantics stay intentionally small** — lowercase names, `.claude/rules/`, and `@path` imports are not interpreted; same-directory names such as `CLAUDE.local.md` require explicit `instructionFileCandidates` configuration.
+- **Instruction content is bounded, not summarized** — over-budget broad files are omitted and the most-specific file may be truncated; the plugin never asks a model to compress instruction prose.

 `scope/` is the one non-service package here: a dependency-free library (`createScope`/`scopeOf`/`scopeTarget`) the registries and the loop build per-agent scoping on — it sits below `session/` and `system-prompt/` in the module graph precisely so they can consume it without a cycle.
 
 `agent-loop` is the one concrete implementation of the `agent` seam and lives here because it is the harness's default product loop; everything else in `core/` is interface/vocabulary. Plugins depend on the `agent` vocabulary, never on `agent-loop` directly, so the loop stays swappable.

 ### Public API
 
-Creation and resume use one caller-owned transaction: compose while unpublished, enter both registries, announce lifecycle edges, then start the driver. Failure rolls back private resources; caller, handle, and provider teardown share one quiescence boundary. The interface contract and ownership order live in [`dsh-agent`](../agent/README.md) and the [agent-scope runtime RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-12-agent-scope-runtime-design.md).
+Creation and resume are one rollback-covered transaction: construct a private session, concrete agent, and scoped context; await optional setup; enter both registries; announce `session/created` then `agent/created`; emit `agent/session-start`; and only then start the driver. Setup receives the full scoped `Context` as trusted same-process composition code and must not drive the unpublished agent. Ordinary typed identity and option inputs are borrowed under their readonly contract, while seed events and session metadata are validated and snapshotted because they cross the durable session boundary. An optional `AbortSignal` cancels only load/setup/publication and is detached before the returned handle becomes visible.
 
-Caller-chosen ids arbitrate only at final registry entry, so concurrent contenders may prepare but every loser rolls back. Entry-bound detach capabilities cannot remove a later same-id replacement. Teardown stops and drains—including idle-injection flushes—before detaching agent, session, and scope; ids become reusable at detach.
+The caller fiber and the AgentLoop provider are co-owners. `AgentFactory.createAgent(ownerCtx, options)` and `resume(ownerCtx, options)` receive caller ownership explicitly, while the factory keeps its own dependency context for `sessions`/`llm`/`tools`/`systemPrompt`; this lets a caller inject only `agents` without shrinking the new agent's service surface. Caller unload, handle disposal, or provider unload converge on one memoized quiescence boundary. Provider shutdown waits both resource teardown and the public create/resume wrapper that observed deactivation, so no continuation can publish after dependencies disappear.
 
-- `ctx.agentLoop.create(id, options?, meta?)` synchronously creates a caller-fiber-owned agent with a fresh generated session id and optional cwd. Each call starts a new session rather than applying resume-or-create policy.
+Each agent and its session share one caller-chosen `SessionId`, assumed globally unique; accidental UUID collisions are outside the supported model. Two concurrent operations with the same id may both prepare, but the final `enter()` calls arbitrate publication and every loser rolls its private resources back. Each detach is bound to the exact entered object, so a stale disposer cannot remove a later same-id replacement. A detach requested during a synchronous creation notification waits for that dispatch to unwind, preserving created/disposed pairing. Teardown runs stop and drain (including outstanding idle-injection flushes) → detach agent → detach session → unwind scope; the id becomes reusable at detach even if private scope cleanup is still finishing. Ordinary non-vetoing `agent/*` notifications go through `agentEvents(ctx, agent)`, per-step assembly goes through `assembleContextFor(agent)`, and turn-end durability checkpoints go through `ctx.sessions.flush(session)`.

+- `ctx.agentLoop.create(id: SessionId, options?: AgentOptions, meta?: { cwd?: string }): Agent` — synchronous no-setup create under the exact shared agent/session id, disposed with the calling fiber. Declarative config treats `agents[].id` as a stable label and normally mints `${label}-session-<uuid>` before calling this boundary. An app may instead supply a stable exact `sessionId`: first use creates it, while a remount with persistence already present resumes its materialized history. `resumeSessionId` requires and loads an existing persisted id and is mutually exclusive with `sessionId`. This keeps default fresh restarts collision-free without retaining a second live routing identity.
 
 `AgentLoop` also implements the `AgentFactory` seam and registers itself via `ctx.agents.setFactory(this)`, so plugins create/resume agents through `ctx.agents` (the interface):
 
-- `ctx.agents.create({ agentId, sessionId, meta?, seed?, agentOptions?, setup?, signal? })` validates and snapshots durable seed and metadata, awaits optional composition while unpublished, creates on the supplied session id, and returns an owned [`AgentHandle`](../agent/README.md). Its signal applies only until publication.
-- `ctx.agents.resume({ agentId, resumeSessionId, agentOptions?, setup?, signal? })` loads through optional [session persistence](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-14-session-persistence.md), continues stored history and turn numbering under the resumed session id, and follows the same unpublished setup and creation-only cancellation boundary. It rejects when no persistence backend is mounted.
+- `ctx.agents.create({ sessionId, meta?, seed?, agentOptions?, setup?, signal? }): Promise<AgentHandle>` — programmatic create under the caller-supplied shared id. It awaits the unpublished setup transaction before returning; `meta` carries cwd/lineage/seed-boundary metadata and `seed` reconstructs a forked child prefix after the session boundary validates and snapshots the durable values. `signal` applies only until this promise settles. The resolved [`AgentHandle`](../agent/README.md) owns exact teardown.
+- `ctx.agents.resume({ resumeSessionId, agentOptions?, setup?, signal? }): Promise<AgentHandle>` — load a persisted session via `ctx.sessionPersistence` ([session persistence](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-14-session-persistence.md)), register the agent under that same id, reconstruct its history, then await setup against a fresh unpublished agent scope before rollback-covered publication. Turn numbering and derived history continue from the loaded log. Requires a session-persistence backend (NOT hard-injected — non-persistent demos still work; `resume` rejects with a clear error when persistence is absent). `signal` is creation-only. Returns an `AgentHandle`.
 
 The config-driven `ctx.agentLoop.create()` path keeps its agent owned by the loop fiber (it discards the handle). For a programmatic agent, the handle holder is the only consumer-facing teardown capability; AgentLoop provider unload is the independent structural teardown edge, not another handle exposed to application code.

+The concrete `Agent` class, its `Inbox`, `runLoop`, and instance-bound publication/start controls are package-internal. The package root exports only the plugin/service/config contract, and the package exports map exposes no `./src/*` escape hatch; lifecycle owners create agents through `ctx.agents` rather than naming, constructing, or starting driver internals. The concrete `send()`, running `steer()`, and open-turn `inject()` materialize content plus resolved source once as detached, deeply frozen lossless JSON; malformed data throws before enqueue or append. An injection that arrives while the current step executes assistant tool calls stays in a FIFO until the batch settles; successful batches place it after the complete result batch, and interrupted batches drain it before the turn closes. One prepared session can be claimed by only one concrete driver, and everything observable happens through session events and the `agent/*` event taxonomy.
 
 ### Loop lifecycle (`loop.ts`)
 
-The driver owns one agent for its lifetime. It records turn, step, request, stream, and tool boundaries in the session log; live extension events coordinate policy around those durable facts. The [architecture turn flow](../../../docs/architecture.md#turn-flow) and generated [event catalog](../../../docs/cordis-catalog/events.md) are the authoritative sequence and signatures.
+The internal loop driver runs one agent for its whole lifetime:
 
 Every provider call that reaches a successful finish appends exactly one `assistant/message` completion anchor, including content-less calls and `max-tokens` finishes. A successful `agent/step-result` stores its transformed content; a rejected result records empty content before the original failure continues. The anchor retains exact chunk provenance (`[]` for a stream with no chunks) and usage when available, while empty content stays out of derived message history.
 
-Plugin failure ends the current turn, not the loop. Only final adapter dispatch/iteration failures and terminal in-band error or aborted finishes enter `agent/request-error`; middleware, result processing, tools, and `agent/post-step` remain ordinary turn failures. Recovery observes a closed failed step, and a retry rebuilds the request from the durable log in a new numbered step. Cancellation clears pending work and aborts the current step without leaking to the next prompt; model-requested calls that were already durable receive synthetic aborted results when cancellation prevents dispatch. Terminal continuation stops remain authoritative through turn close and durability flush.

Policy, durable results, and result context remain model-ordered. Abort stops new calls, drains started results, then drains accepted batch context before the turn closes through the normal abort path.

 **Token effect**: Input grows with every surface message until a compaction replacement shadows older nodes; a multi-step tool turn resends the accumulated prefix and history each step.
 
+### Undispatched calls after cancellation
+
+**What the model sees**: If a later request replays an aborted step, each tool call that cancellation prevented from dispatching has the error result text `Error: tool call skipped because the step was aborted before execution`.
+
+**Token effect**: One fixed error result per skipped call remains in history until compaction shadows it.

 ## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
 
-- **Tool calls within a step execute sequentially** — parallel execution waits on concurrency-safety metadata in the tool contract (see `dsh-tools`).
-- **No resume-or-create policy on the config path** — config-driven `create()` starts a fresh `${id}-session-<uuid>` every run (`TODO(demo)`), and a config `resumeSessionId` whose resume fails logs a warning and creates no agent.
+- **Classification is unary** — calls whose safety depends on comparing siblings or resources must remain exclusive ([rationale](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/feature/2026-07-10-parallel-tool-call-execution.md)).
+- **Config labels are fresh by default** — omitting `sessionId` creates a fresh `${id}-session-<uuid>` on every startup; exact resume-or-create behavior requires an explicit stable `sessionId`, while `resumeSessionId` requires existing persisted history.
 - **Config agents have no per-agent persona field or setup hook** — they use the deployment persona; scoped persona/tool composition is available only through the programmatic `ctx.agents.create()` / `resume()` factory options.
 - **No built-in turn budget** — the default continuation is `continue` whenever a step had tool calls or steering; bounding a runaway turn requires an `agent/turn-continuation` force-stop plugin.

 ### Public API
 
-`Agent.ctx` owns registrations visible only to that agent. `agentEvents()` couples event subjects to their scope carrier, and `assembleContextFor()` couples the agent and prompt scope. Creation and resume may compose this context through `setup`; the agent remains unpublished and must not be driven until creation resolves.
+The scoped-registration surface: `Agent.ctx` is the agent's scope context (`dsh-scope`, key = the agent) — register tools/sections/variables/listeners through it for that agent alone, all unwound on disposal. `agentEvents(ctx, agent)` is the fused dispatcher for ordinary agent-subject operations (carrier + injected subject in one move); its notification mode invokes every listener and contains both synchronous throws and returned-promise rejections. The registry lifecycle pair reuses one stable routing carrier. `assembleContextFor(agent)` builds the per-agent assembly context (`agent` + `scope` together). `CreateAgentOptions.setup(agentCtx)` and `ResumeAgentOptions.setup(agentCtx)` compose a fresh or resumed agent's scoped world while both objects remain unpublished. Setup is trusted, composition-only same-process code: drive the agent only after creation resolves.
 
 - `ctx.agents.register(agent: Agent): () => void` — record an **already-constructed** agent. Disposed with the calling fiber.
-- Advanced factory lifecycle: `enter(agent)` publishes without announcing and returns an entry-bound detach; `announce(agent)` emits creation once. Detach during creation dispatch is deferred. Ordinary plugins use `register()`.
-- `ctx.agents.get(id: AgentId): Agent | undefined`
+- Advanced ordered lifecycle: `enter(agent, owner): () => void` enforces `agent.id === agent.session.id`, performs the authoritative ID collision check, and inserts without announcing; `owner` explicitly records the live creator-agent relation (or `undefined` for a root), independently of durable session lineage. `announce(agent)` emits `agent/created` exactly once. A detach requested synchronously by a creation listener is deferred until that dispatch unwinds, and every detach checks the captured entry object, so a stale capability cannot delete a later same-ID replacement. The async factory uses this split; ordinary plugins use `register()`.
+- `ctx.agents.get(id: SessionId): Agent | undefined`
+- `ctx.agents.isOwnedBy(id: SessionId, owner: Agent): boolean` — whether the exact live entry was created through that parent agent's scoped context; runtime ownership is independent of durable session lineage.
 - `ctx.agents.list(): Agent[]`
+- `ctx.agents.roots(): Agent[]` — live agents created without an owning agent context; a resumed lineage-bearing session can still be a runtime root.
 
 #### Factory seam (creation)
 
-The loop plugin registers `AgentFactory`, keeping consumers independent of its concrete package. Each call is traced through the caller's context so the caller owns the resulting transaction and handle.
+Agent *creation* is provided by the plugin implementing `AgentFactory` (`dsh-agent-loop`), registered via `setFactory`. This keeps creation on the `dsh-agent` interface so consumers (UI, the ACP bridge) program against `ctx.agents` without depending on the concrete loop package. The registry canonicalizes an already traced Service to its concrete target and re-traces each call through the caller's context; this avoids nested Cordis shadows while passing an explicit caller-bound `ownerCtx` to plain factories.
 
 - `ctx.agents.setFactory(factory: AgentFactory): () => void` — register the creation factory (the loop calls this on construction). Throws on a second factory; the slot clears on dispose.
-- `ctx.agents.create(options)` creates and composes an unpublished session and agent, then atomically enters the registries and starts the loop. A creation-only signal cancels before publication; same-ID contenders arbitrate at entry and losers roll back.
-- `ctx.agents.resume(options)` loads a persisted session and follows the same composition and publication boundary. It requires [session persistence](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-14-session-persistence.md).
+- `ctx.agents.create(options: CreateAgentOptions): Promise<AgentHandle>` — create a session and agent, await optional setup while unpublished, then publish through final `SessionStore.enter()` and `AgentRegistry.enter()` checks. Concurrent same-ID creation is unsupported: more than one operation may prepare, but only one can enter; every loser rolls its private scope/session/driver back. An optional creation-only `signal` cancels unpublished setup and is detached before the handle is returned; later cancellation uses `handle.dispose()` or `agent.cancel()`. Publication is rollback-covered and every delivered creation edge is paired during rollback. Rejects if no factory is registered.
+- `ctx.agents.resume(options: ResumeAgentOptions): Promise<AgentHandle>` — load a persisted session ([session persistence](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-14-session-persistence.md)), mint a fresh unpublished agent scope, await optional setup, and use the same final-entry publication sequence. Its optional `signal` is likewise creation-only. Rejects if no factory is registered or session persistence is unconfigured.
 
-`AgentHandle = { agent, dispose }` is the consumer teardown capability; registry observers receive only the bare agent. Disposal stops and drains the loop and idle-injection flushes before unregistering the agent, detaching its session, and unwinding its scope. Caller and factory unload share that memoized boundary.
+`AgentHandle = { agent: Agent; dispose(): Promise<void> }`. The disposer is a **consumer capability** — no observer holding the bare registry entry can tear the agent down. The caller fiber and the registered factory provider are structural co-owners: caller unload enforces structured ownership, while factory unload must stop old instances because their scoped dependency surface belongs to that provider. `dispose()` from any owner reaches one memoized quiescence boundary: it stops the loop, `await`s its exit plus every outstanding idle-injection flush (not just the `disposed` status flip), unregisters the agent, removes its session from the store, and finally unwinds its scoped world. This order captures every agent-started `session/flush` before the session is detached and keeps scoped listeners alive through those checkpoints. `ctx.agents.get(id)` still returns a bare `Agent`; the ACP bridge and in-process subagent backends hold consumer handles, while config-created agents are already owned by the loop fiber.
 
 ### Live events
 
 `dsh-agent` declares the live `agent/*` coordination vocabulary so plugins do not depend on the concrete loop. Exact signatures, dispatch modes, scope-filtering rules, and payload contracts live in the generated [Cordis event catalog](../../../docs/cordis-catalog/events.md); the [architecture turn flow](../../../docs/architecture.md#turn-flow) shows their order relative to durable session events.
 
-`agent/created` runs after setup and both registry entries; the following `agent/session-start` is the first supported startup injection point. `agent/disposed` means the exact entry left the registry. The loop quiesces its driver first; directly registered custom agents own any stronger ordering.
+The lifecycle edges have two important local caveats. `agent/created` runs after scoped setup and after both session and agent registry entries exist. Setup is trusted composition-only code; the immediately following non-vetoing `agent/session-start` notification is the first supported startup injection point. `agent/disposed` always means the exact agent has left the registry. AgentLoop emits it after its driver is quiescent, while ordered teardown may still be detaching the session and unwinding the scope; custom agents registered directly own any stronger driver-ordering contract themselves.
 
 Most interception points are cooperative waterfalls returning seam-specific decisions. `agent/pre-step` and `agent/post-step` are serial checkpoints around a step's durable work, while `agent/request-error` is the failed-model-request recovery waterfall: a retry opens a new numbered step after the failed step closes. `agent/turn-stop` is the terminal serial fold: it runs after ordinary continuation and steering folding, and a returned stop remains in force through turn close and flush so later steering cannot create an extra step or turn. Ordinary queued prompts remain intact. The full rationale for scoped dispatch and terminal settlement is in the [agent-scope runtime-design RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-12-agent-scope-runtime-design.md#three-execution-boundaries-are-deliberately-one-way).
 
+`PromptDecision.additionalContexts` is an array so every injected context keeps its own source, envelope, and metadata. A `ContinuationDecision` reason is narrower: it becomes a `steering/message`, not a `context/message`, and therefore carries only content and source.
+
 Turn and step boundaries and the model token stream are durable `session/event` facts rather than mirrored `agent/*` notifications. Consumers read `turn/*`, `step/*`, and `assistant/chunk` from the session feed; tool policy and outcome observation belong to the complete pipeline documented by [`dsh-tools`](../tools/README.md).

 - `agent.send(content, options?)` — queue a message; starts a turn when idle. Content and resolved source become one detached, deeply frozen lossless-JSON record before `agent/queued` and enqueue; invalid data throws synchronously, and caller or notification-listener in-place mutation cannot change the log or model input (`agent/prompt-submit` still rewrites by returning replacement content).
 - `agent.steer(content, options?)` — steer a running turn (inject between steps); uses the same owned acceptance boundary and behaves like `send` when idle
-- `agent.inject(content, options?)` — inject in-session context (context/message event); the next request sees it. Does not run the model. While a turn is open it joins that turn; while idle it is wrapped in a one-shot `injection` turn so every event stays turn-enclosed ([the turn-enclosure invariant](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-15-turn-enclosure-invariant.md))
+- `agent.inject(content, options?)` — accept detached in-session context without running the model; the next request sees its `context/message`. `options.envelope` defaults to the canonical `<context>` framing and may be `'raw'` when the caller owns a complete familiar frame; `options.meta` persists opaque JSON state without rendering it. While a turn is open it joins that turn, deferring FIFO while the current tool batch executes and draining before turn close if execution is interrupted; while idle it is wrapped in a one-shot `injection` turn and durability checkpoint ([the turn-enclosure invariant](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-15-turn-enclosure-invariant.md)).
 - `agent.cancel(reason?)` — cancel ALL pending work: clears the queued + steering FIFOs, aborts the in-flight step, and drops a turn about to start (the pre-step window) so a queued-but-not-started prompt never runs. A UI/ACP `session/cancel` maps to this. The single public stop primitive. Idle with nothing pending → a safe no-op.
 - `agent.whenIdle()` — resolve once the agent reaches quiescence after settling out of `running` (idle → immediately; disposed → awaits the loop exit). A non-owner's quiescence-observation hook: it observes the work settling WITHOUT tearing the agent down. Teardown is separate — a lifecycle owner stops and unregisters via `AgentHandle.dispose()`, which awaits the loop exit directly.

 - **`HookContext` carries exactly one `MessageSource`** — contributions from several plugins merged onto one tool call collapse under one source; mixed provenance is unrepresentable.

 ### Surface types
 
-- `SurfaceOp` — how a surface node entered the linked list: `'append'` (normal tail append) or `{ op: 'replace', start, end }` (replace nodes from `start` through `end` inclusive — both must be valid surface node seqs; `start === end` replaces a single node). Used by compaction to shadow old nodes without deleting them.
+- `SurfaceOp` — how an event entered the ordered surface: `'append'` (normal tail append) or `{ op: 'replace', start, end }` (replace entries from `start` through `end` inclusive — both must be valid surface seqs; `start === end` replaces one entry). Used by compaction to shadow old events without deleting them.
 - `SurfaceIntent` — `{ surfaceOp: SurfaceOp; sourceEventSeqs?: number[] }`, the required third parameter to `session.append()` for surface-eligible types.
-- `SurfaceNode` — `{ seq: number; prev: number | null; next: number | null }`, one node in the surface linked list.
-- `foldSurface(events)` — replay the canonical surface transitions into detached current nodes and actual replacement ranges, rejecting surface-eligible events that lack their mandatory marker. `SurfaceManager` shares the same transitions while retaining its incremental cache.
-- `isSurfaceEvent(event)` / `isSurfaceEligibleType(type)` — the first narrows a `SessionEvent` to a fully-formed surface node (type is surface-eligible AND `surfaceOp` present); the second is the type-only check (is this one of the five `SurfaceEventType` values?), used to detect a surface-eligible event MISSING its marker — e.g. when validating a seed/load log.
+- `foldSurface(events)` — replay the canonical surface contract into detached current event sequences and actual replacement ranges. The same pass rejects non-contiguous seqs, misplaced or malformed metadata, empty or duplicate provenance, non-earlier sources, invalid positional ranges, and replacements that fail to cite every shadowed surface entry; `SurfaceManager` shares the atomic transition while retaining only its incremental sequence cache.
+- `isSurfaceEvent(event)` / `isSurfaceEligibleType(type)` — the first narrows a `SessionEvent` to a fully formed surface event; the second detects a surface-eligible event missing its marker when validating a seed or loaded log.
 
 ### Request-header reconstruction (`request-header.ts`)
 
-`request/header` and `request/header-delta` make the non-history request envelope reconstructable from the log. `foldRequestHeader()` reconstructs the active header, `diffHeader()` encodes changes, and `applyHeaderDelta()` replays them; unsupported deltas fall back to a full snapshot. `messagePrefix` remains separate from derived history. See the [reconstructable-requests RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-05-reconstructable-requests.md).
+`request/header` records a full canonical snapshot of the non-history request envelope with reason `initial`, `resume`, or `change`. `foldRequestHeader()` selects the latest snapshot; legacy delta events and the removed `fallback` reason are rejected. `messagePrefix` remains separate from derived history. See the [reconstructable-requests RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-05-reconstructable-requests.md).
+
+`context/message` defaults to the canonical tagged context projection. A producer may set `envelope: 'raw'` when its `content` already contains the complete model-facing frame, and may attach JSON `meta` for replayable plugin state; metadata remains durable but is excluded from `deriveMessages()`.

 ## Model Experience
 
 ### Derived message history
 
-**What the model sees**: The model receives projections of `user/message`, `assistant/message`, and `tool/result` surface nodes verbatim. A `context/message` is a user-role message containing exactly `<context source="<source-kind>">`, its content blocks, and `</context>`; `steering/message` uses the identical `<steering source="<source-kind>">` / `</steering>` wrapper. Tool calls live inside assistant messages. Chunks, boundaries, usage, hook records, todo records, and other log-only events add no message.

+- `ToolDefinition` — `ToolSchema` + `execute(args, exec)`, optional presentation callbacks, cooperative `timeoutMs`, and optional per-call `isConcurrencySafe(args)` classification.
 - `ToolExecutionInput` — the caller-supplied call description: `{ callId, name, arguments, agent?, parent?, signal? }`; callers may pass an enclosing execution's opaque token as `parent` but never choose the new execution's own token.
 - `ToolExecutionToken` — a fresh branded `Symbol` assigned by the registry. It supports equality correlation only and never crosses a model, log, or worker boundary.
 - `ToolExecution` — the pipeline-owned call: immutable `{ token, callId, name, arguments, agent?, parent? }` identity plus optional operational `signal`, which an around wrapper may add, replace, remove, and restore. A nested call's `parent` is a `ToolExecutionToken`, not an execution object.
-- `ToolExecutionResult` — losslessly JSON-serializable outcome: `{ content, isError, error?, additionalContext?, meta? }`. Call identity stays on the immutable `ToolExecution` supplied alongside the result instead of being duplicated on the outcome. The registry materializes and freezes the complete post-policy value before final observation. On failure with a `HarnessError`, `error: { name, code }` carries the structured failure class alongside the model-facing text.
+- `ToolRunContext` — the execution passed to a tool body, extending `ToolExecution` with `deferContext(context)`. Composite tools use it to ferry context produced by nested dispatches to the outer result even when the tool later throws; it never injects immediately.
+- `ToolExecutionResult` — losslessly JSON-serializable outcome: `{ content, isError, error?, additionalContexts?, meta? }`. Call identity stays on the immutable `ToolExecution` supplied alongside the result instead of being duplicated on the outcome. The registry materializes and freezes the complete post-policy value before final observation. On failure with a `HarnessError`, `error: { name, code }` carries the structured failure class alongside the model-facing text. `additionalContexts` preserves each deferred or post-execute `HookContext` with its own source, envelope, and durable JSON metadata; the loop buffers the array and appends each entry as a `context/message` after all `tool/result`s in the step.
 - `PreToolDecision` — `{kind:'allow'}` | `{kind:'deny', reason}` | `{kind:'ask', reason?}`. Input rewrite is deliberately not offered; `ask` is serviced by [`ctx.approval`](../../ui/user-approval/README.md) when mounted and otherwise degrades to deny.
-- `PostToolDecision` — `{kind:'accept', content?, additionalContext?}` (keep the call successful, optionally replacing the model-facing content) | `{kind:'block', feedback, additionalContext?}` (turn it into an `isError` whose content is the corrective feedback). Output replacement is clean because `tool/result` is logged AFTER `execute()` returns.
+- `PostToolDecision` — `{kind:'accept', content?, additionalContexts?}` (keep the call successful, optionally replacing the model-facing content) | `{kind:'block', feedback, additionalContexts?}` (turn it into an `isError` whose content is the corrective feedback). Accept preserves tool-deferred contexts before decision contexts; block discards tool-deferred contexts and exposes only contexts explicitly supplied by the blocking decision.
 - `ToolGuard` — `(execution) => string | undefined`; the returned string is a final monotonic denial reason evaluated after the reorderable pre-execute waterfall and before dispatch.

+- **The dispatch bridge** (`run_code`'s execute): every binding call is JSON-normalized before dispatch (a value that does not survive — `BigInt`, circulars — rejects that one call, so the dispatched form and logged form are the same JSON value by construction), serialized through a per-run queue (even `Promise.all` executes underlying calls one at a time in submission order), given the outer execution's opaque token as `parent`, and run through the complete pre-execute → guards → execute → post-execute → result pipeline. A denial reaches the program as a binding rejection, and each sub-call is logged as a `tool/code-dispatch` session event with deterministic id `<parent>:code:<n>`; `deriveMessages()` does not surface that event. Token correlation lets commit-style observers defer an inner success until the final `run_code` result without exposing the live outer execution; ordinary tool side effects are not rolled back. Every sub-call `additionalContexts` entry is deferred through the outer `ToolRunContext` in dispatch order; the loop appends those contexts only after the parent `run_code` result, preserving adjacency and retaining each source/envelope/meta even when the program later fails.
+- **Settlement discipline**: the bridge owns a run-scoped abort that follows the outer signal in and fires when the run settles for any reason, so a budget expiry aborts an in-flight sub-tool instead of orphaning it; the bridge then drains its queue BEFORE returning, so every `tool/code-dispatch` lands inside the open turn. A failed run throws `CodeRunFailedError` (`code: 'CODE_RUN_FAILED'`, message = the failure kind + captured logs), which the pipeline converts to a structured `isError` the model self-corrects from.
+
+### Parallel execution
+
+The agent loop groups consecutive `parallel` calls into a bounded rolling pool and treats each `exclusive` call as an ordering barrier. Only dispatch/body overlaps; policy, durable results, and context retain model order. Code Mode bindings remain serial. The [parallel tool-call RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/feature/2026-07-10-parallel-tool-call-execution.md) owns the shipped declarations and rationale.

 ## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
 
-- **Native tool calls execute sequentially** — `ToolDefinition` carries no concurrency-safety metadata; adding it (and parallel execution in the loop) waits on the deferred tool-shapes review (`TODO(review)`).
+- **Concurrency policy is not an event seam** — `executionMode()` reads the resolved tool definition directly; plugins can only declare a classifier on definitions they own.
 - **`tools/pre-execute` deliberately cannot rewrite `exec.arguments`** — logged and rendered args would desync from what ran; the rewrite design is [a proposed RFC](../../../docs/rfc/proposed/feature/2026-06-30-pre-tool-input-rewrite.md).
-- **`defineTool`'s schema DSL is a deliberate subset** — string/number/boolean/object/array with string-only `enum`; `validateArgs` tolerates extra keys and never applies `default` (`XXX(unused-default)` flags removing that field); raw-registered JSON-Schema tools validate their own input.
+- **`defineTool`'s schema DSL is a deliberate subset** — string/number/boolean/object/array with string-only `enum`; `validateArgs` tolerates extra keys and preserves `default` as a model-visible JSON Schema annotation without applying it during validation; dynamic Cordis mounts may supply defaults even though first-party definitions do not, while raw-registered JSON-Schema tools validate their own input.
 - **`timeoutMs` on a definition is declarative only** — the registry never enforces deadlines; enforcement requires the `@deepseek-ai/dsh-timeout-policy` wrapper.
 - **Code Mode is TypeScript-only and the presentation mode is service-wide** — `mode: code`/`both` rejects prompt assembly unless `ctx.codeRuntime.language === 'typescript'`; scoped restrictions/shadows still choose each agent's visible bindings, but one tool cannot be native-only while another is code-only.
 - **Code Mode bindings return text only** — non-text content blocks in a sub-call result collapse to `[<type> content]` placeholders.

-The bundle FORWARDS each field to the child that owns it: `agents` to `agent-loop` (default `[]`), so each app supplies its own pre-created agents — a stdio app pre-creates a `main`; the ACP app pre-creates none (it creates agents on demand at `session/new`) — `persona` and `toolOrder` to `dsh-system-prompt`; `tools` to the tool registry for its presentation mode; `skills.registry`, `skills.local`, and `skills.tool` to the skill registry, local provider, and model-facing consumer; and `toolBash`/`toolTasks` to the two model-facing tool plugins the bundle owns. `toolBash.enableRunInBackground` controls only the bash producer, while `toolTasks` controls generic `task_output` wait bounds; independently loaded producers keep their own config. Forwarding is exactly why the owners can live in the shared spine even though the apps disagree on what to configure.
+The bundle FORWARDS each field to the child that owns it: `agents` and `maxParallelToolCalls` to `agent-loop` (`agents` defaults to `[]`; the cap defaults there), so each app supplies its own pre-created agents — a stdio app pre-creates `main`, while the ACP app creates agents on demand at `session/new`; `persona` and `toolOrder` to `dsh-system-prompt`; `tools` to the tool registry for its presentation mode; `skills.registry`, `skills.local`, and `skills.tool` to the skill registry, local provider, and model-facing consumer; the required `workspaceContext` choice to `dsh-workspace-context` (`{ maxBytes }` enables loading and `false` disables it); and `toolBash`/`toolTasks` to the two model-facing tool plugins the bundle owns. It resolves `dshHome` once through [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-home`](../../util/home/README.md) and forwards that absolute value to tool-bash's managed environment and local skill discovery. An absent top-level `dshHome` adopts `skills.local.dshHome`; supplying both with different resolved paths fails loudly. `toolBash.enableRunInBackground` controls only the bash producer, while `toolTasks` controls generic `task_output` wait bounds; independently loaded producers keep their own config. Workspace instructions register before the skill catalog so their session-prefix message renders first. App packages use `pickSpineConfig()` to copy only these bundle-owned fields.

 `@cordisjs/plugin-hmr` (the dev/demo edit-reload loop) is deliberately a **leaf** entry, NOT baked in here: it is a Loader-only, subprocess-only dev plugin — its constructor throws without `node --expose-internals` + a live `loader`, and the in-process test tier cannot even import it (so a package whose `apply` statically pulled it in could never carry the per-file coverage gate).

-Fresh stdio sessions use the process launch directory as `session.header.cwd`, so project-scoped features such as skill discovery and default bash workdir follow the directory where `dsh-stdio-demo` was started. Resumed sessions keep the cwd stored in the persisted session header.
+Fresh stdio sessions use the process launch directory as `session.header.cwd` and mint one combined `main-session-<uuid>` agent/session id, so durable restarts cannot collide. The app passes that exact opaque id to both its config-created agent and UI; an AgentLoop-only reload resumes materialized history under that id, while the UI's `main` text remains only a display label and never selects another registry root by prefix or insertion order. Readline buffers nonblank startup input for that identity until `agent/session-start`, so piped stdin cannot outrun asynchronous exact-id restoration or let EOF discard the queued prompt; `agent-loop/config-start-failed` instead drains and reports buffered input so a missing or corrupt persisted session cannot hang EOF. A resumed run binds both components to the exact `resumeSessionId` and keeps the cwd stored in the persisted session header.

 ## No timeouts on file IO
 
-`read`/`write`/`edit` take **no** `timeoutMs`, and the provider seam arms no deadline — unlike bash and web, which consume [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-timeout`](../util/timeout/README.md). A local syscall is best-effort-abortable at most: a timeout could not force an in-progress `fsync`/`rename` to stop, so a deadline here would be a knob that cannot deliver on its promise. Adding one would also be an implicit default in the exact place explicit-over-implicit forbids. Both reference agents (Claude Code, Codex) leave file IO untimed for the same reason; cancellation still propagates through the tool-execution signal for best-effort abort at syscall boundaries.

 ## Behavior
 
-- **`resolve(path, opts?)`** — a relative `path` resolves against `opts.cwd` when the caller supplies one (the model-facing tools pass the calling agent's session cwd — see [the per-session cwd RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-02-fs-per-session-cwd.md)), else `config.cwd` (default `process.cwd()`); an absolute `path` ignores both. The `targetKey` is the file's `realpath`, so two input paths reaching the same file through symlinks share one identity, and writes/edits land on the link target (preserving the link). A not-yet-existing path uses the realpathed parent directory plus basename when the parent exists; only an unresolvable parent falls back to the absolute path. `displayPath` is the absolute (un-resolved) path.
-- **`stat`** — returns `FsInfo` (`version` = `mtimeMs:size`, `type` of `file`/`directory`/`other`, byte `size`) or `undefined` when the target is absent.
+- **`resolve(path, opts?)`** — a relative `path` resolves against `opts.cwd` when the caller supplies one (the model-facing tools pass the calling agent's session cwd — see [the per-session cwd RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-02-fs-per-session-cwd.md)), else `config.cwd` (default `process.cwd()`); an absolute `path` ignores both. `opts.signal` is checked before and after local resolution, while a remote sibling backend may use it to abort its round-trip. The `targetKey` is the file's `realpath`, so two input paths reaching the same file through symlinks share one identity, and writes/edits land on the link target (preserving the link). A not-yet-existing path uses the realpathed parent directory plus basename when the parent exists; only an unresolvable parent falls back to the absolute path. `displayPath` is the absolute (un-resolved) path.
+- **`stat` / `lstat`** — return target metadata or `undefined` when absent. `stat` reports `FsInfo` for an already resolved target (`version` = an opaque token derived from bigint `dev:ino:size:mtimeNs:ctimeNs`, `type` of `file`/`directory`/`other`, byte `size`); path-shaped `lstat` reports `FsPathInfo` without following the final symlink and can therefore return `symlink`. Both check cancellation before and after their asynchronous metadata probe, so an abort that lands in flight reports `FS_ABORTED` rather than stale absence.
 - **`readText` / `streamText`** — UTF-8 only. `readText` reads the whole file; `streamText` streams it in chunks (cross-chunk decoding) so a huge file never has to be held whole in memory. Both reject invalid UTF-8 and NUL-byte binary samples (`FS_NOT_TEXT`) and non-regular targets. The `read` tool (`@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-fs`) decides which to call by size and owns the line windowing.
 - **`listDir`** — lists one directory level in stable `name.localeCompare()` order. Each entry carries the child basename, type, resolved child target (`displayPath` under the listed directory, `targetKey` as the realpath identity), and cheap stat metadata (`version`, plus `size` for regular files). It never opens or decodes file contents. Missing targets report `FS_NOT_FOUND`, file/special-file targets report `FS_NOT_DIRECTORY`, aborted calls report `FS_ABORTED`, permission failures report `FS_PERMISSION_DENIED`, and other listing or child metadata I/O failures report `FS_IO_ERROR`. Broken/disappeared children are returned as `other` without metadata, but permission/IO failures while resolving a child fail the whole listing with a structured `FsError`.
 - **`writeText`** — atomic: writes to a temp file opened exclusively (`wx`, `0o600`) inside a randomly-named private staging dir (`0o700`) next to the target, fsyncs, then renames over the target. An existing file's mode is preserved, while new files default to `0o600`. The `expected` guard is OPTIONAL: omitting it unconditionally creates-or-overwrites; `createIfAbsent` creates a missing target and rejects an existing one (`FS_NOT_OBSERVED`); `replaceIfVersion` replaces only at the observed version (a missing target or mismatch is `FS_STALE_VERSION`).

 - **No IO deadline** — the seam arms no timeout; cancellation is a best-effort optional `AbortSignal` per primitive (the deliberate [fs-family stance](../README.md)).
 - **Resolve-then-operate costs a remote backend two round-trips per tool call** — folding or caching resolution is left to such a backend.

+# @deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-fs-search
+
+The **model-facing filesystem discovery tools** — `glob`, `grep` — backed by the **bash executor seam**, not by `ctx.fs` provider methods. Each call assembles a fixed ripgrep command (every model-controlled value through one package-private shell-quoting helper), runs it via `ctx.bash.resolve(request)` → `ctx.bash.run(spec)` as an ordinary foreground tool call, parses the raw `rg` output, and returns a bounded, workdir-relative result. The package injects `tools`, `systemPrompt`, and `bash` — deliberately **not** `fs`; `ctx.spillStore` is read opportunistically with `ctx.get()` because formatted-result spill is optional.
+
+```ts ignore-check
+// Default deployment: a bash executor, then the discovery tools.
+await ctx.plugin(LocalBashExecutor, { cwd: process.cwd() }) // @deepseek-ai/dsh-bash-local
+await ctx.plugin(ToolFsSearch)                              // this package — registers glob/grep
+// Optional: a spill backend makes capped results fully recoverable.
+await ctx.plugin(LocalSpillStore)                           // @deepseek-ai/dsh-spill-local
+```
+
+Why bash-backed: local workspace discovery is naturally a process-backed `rg` workflow, and putting search on `ctx.fs` would force every filesystem backend to grow a search API. The bash executor owns request defaulting/capping, subprocess execution, process-group termination, environment scrubbing, raw output capture, and backend substitution (local, sandboxed, remote); this package owns schemas, argument validation, shell quoting, parsing, retention, formatted-result spill, and timeout declaration. The tools never call `ctx.bash.start()` and never expose a bash task id — the call returns only after `rg` exits, times out, is aborted, or fails.
+
+## Deployment requirement: co-located bash + filesystem
+
+Returned paths are displayed relative to the resolved bash workdir (the calling agent's session cwd when present, else the executor's configured default) and are follow-up-readable with `read` only when the bash workdir and the filesystem root are the same workspace. v1 documents that requirement and performs no runtime cross-service validation; remote or virtual filesystem search waits for a shared workspace contract or a provider-specific search backend.
+
+## Config
+
+All keys are optional; the defaults are the shipped search caps.
+
+| Key | Default | Meaning |
+|---|---|---|
+| `globMaxResults` | `100` | Max paths one `glob` call retains inline (matches Claude Code's `GlobTool` limit); later paths go to the formatted spill artifact. |
+| `grepMaxMatches` | `250` | Max flat matches one `grep` call retains inline (matches Claude Code's `GrepTool` `head_limit`); later matches go to the formatted spill artifact. |
+| `grepMaxLineBytes` | `2000` | Byte cap per matched-line preview; the cut preserves UTF-8 boundaries and is marked `(line truncated)`. |
+| `rawOutputMaxBytes` | `20000000` | Max complete raw `rg` stdout a search will parse (matches Claude Code's ripgrep raw buffer); larger raw output fails with `SEARCH_RAW_OUTPUT_OVERFLOW`. |
+| `timeoutMs` | `30000` | Cooperative tool-call budget attached to both tool definitions, enforced by `@deepseek-ai/dsh-timeout-policy` through `exec.signal`; the bash backend's own timeout stays a second safety cap. |
+
+## Tools
+
+| Tool | Arguments | Behavior |
+|---|---|---|
+| `glob` | `pattern`, `path?` | `rg --files --glob <pattern> --sort=modified --no-ignore --hidden` plus VCS metadata excludes (`.git`, `.svn`, `.hg`, `.bzr`, `.jj`, `.sl`). `path` is an optional **directory** search root; omitted means the resolved bash workdir. Returns one path per line, modification-time ordered. |
+| `grep` | `pattern`, `path?`, `include?` | Line-oriented `rg --json` parse (no colon-splitting ambiguity). `pattern` is a ripgrep regex; `path` is an optional **file or directory** target; `include` is ONE positive glob filter — a comma-separated list or a negated (`!…`) value is rejected up front (brace alternation like `*.{ts,tsx}` is fine). Returns matches grouped by file as `Line N: <preview>`. |
+
+Routine budgets stay out of the model-facing schema (no `head_limit`/`offset`/`case_insensitive`/output modes): a model that needs surrounding context reads the matched file with `read`; one that needs later results follows the returned spill locator's retrieval hint.
+
+## Two budgets, two artifacts
+
+Raw `rg` stdout is an internal transport detail. Each search requests `stdoutMaxBytes: rawOutputMaxBytes` from the bash seam and parses only complete retained stdout; if the executor still returns `stdout.truncated`, the search fails with `SEARCH_RAW_OUTPUT_OVERFLOW` and tells the model to narrow the query. The model-facing recovery artifact is different: when a search yields more logical results than the inline cap, the tool saves the COMPLETE formatted result through `ctx.spillStore.saveText()` (suggested names `glob-results.txt` / `grep-results.txt`, owner = the calling session, source = the tool execution identity) and appends a footer naming the returned locator and retrieval hint. This is the first tool-owned spill call in the codebase — deliberate, because retention here is item-level: the generic `@deepseek-ai/dsh-spill-policy` only sees the final text on `tools/post-execute`, by which point a capped search has already omitted later paths/matches. A missing spill backend, a call with no session owner, or a `saveText()` failure keeps the inline page and reports that the complete result could not be saved — never an `isError`.
+
+## Errors
+
+Search failures carry the package-owned `SearchError` (a `HarnessError` subclass), surfaced as `{ name, code }` on `isError` results: `SEARCH_INVALID_PATTERN` (ripgrep rejected the regex/glob), `SEARCH_FAILED` (missing `rg`, inaccessible target, signal kill, malformed `--json` output), `SEARCH_RAW_OUTPUT_OVERFLOW` (raw output over `rawOutputMaxBytes`, or still truncated after the requested stdout capture budget), and `SEARCH_ABORTED` (tool timeout, caller cancellation, or the bash executor's own timeout). ripgrep exit semantics are tool-owned: exit 0 is success with results, exit 1 is a successful empty search (`No files found` / `No matches found`), and only other exits are failures. Model argument mistakes (blank pattern, a list-valued `include`) stay ordinary tool argument errors.
+
+## Model Experience
+
+### System prompt
+
+**What the model sees**: Every request in this plugin's registration scope contains the independently registered glob and grep guidance below. Agent-scoped tool restrictions can hide either schema without removing its prompt section.
+
+**Token effect**: Fixed guidance cost per request while the plugin is active.
+
+#### Glob guidance
+
+```markdown
+Use the glob tool — not shell find or ls — to discover files by path pattern. Results are sorted by modification time and include hidden and ignored files.
+```
+
+#### Grep guidance
+
+```markdown
+Use the grep tool — not shell grep or rg — to search file contents. Use read on a matched file when you need surrounding context.
+```
+
+### Tool schemas
+
+**What the model sees**: The generated [`glob` and `grep` schemas](../../../docs/tool-catalog.md#deepseek-aidsh-tool-fs-search) while this surface is visible.
+
+**Token effect**: Fixed schema cost on every request where the tools are visible.
+
+### Results and spill notices
+
+**What the model sees**: `glob` returns one path per line; `grep` groups `Line <line>: <preview>` matches beneath each path. Empty searches return `No files found` or `No matches found`. A capped result ends with its omission count plus the spill locator and backend retrieval hint, or says the complete result could not be saved.
+
+**Token effect**: Inline paths and matches are bounded by `globMaxResults`, `grepMaxMatches`, and `grepMaxLineBytes`; the call and retained result remain in history until compaction.
+
+### Tool errors
+
+**What the model sees**: Failures are normalized as `Error: <message>` with structured `SEARCH_INVALID_PATTERN`, `SEARCH_FAILED`, `SEARCH_RAW_OUTPUT_OVERFLOW`, or `SEARCH_ABORTED` metadata for callers.
+
+**Token effect**: Only a failing call adds these retained tokens.
+
+## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
+
+- **Search and file access have no shared-workspace proof** — returned paths are follow-up-readable only when the bash workdir and filesystem root denote the same workspace; the package performs no runtime cross-service validation.
+- **Ripgrep is a deployment dependency** — a missing or incompatible `rg` executable fails calls with `SEARCH_FAILED`; remote or virtual filesystems need a co-located executor or another search consumer.
+- **The schemas expose one bounded page** — offset pagination, case-mode switches, alternate output modes, and provider-backed discovery remain outside this package; capped complete output requires a spill backend.

+ * make the cordis Loader's `unwrapExports` (`exports.default ?? exports`)
+ * collapse the module to the bare `apply` function, DROPPING `inject`. The
+ * plugin would then read `ctx.bash` without having injected it and throw
+ * `cannot get property … without inject` the moment it loads (postmortem 0001).
+ *
+ * A hand-built `ctx.plugin({ apply, inject })` mount CANNOT catch that — it
+ * bypasses `unwrapExports`. So this test unwraps the module through the REAL
+ * `Loader.prototype.unwrapExports` and mounts the result over a bash executor,
+ * exercising the exact path the Loader uses. Prove the guard bites: add
+ * `export default apply` to `src/index.ts`, watch this go red, revert.

 `fs/observed` fires AFTER the read/write/edit already succeeded, via a plain `ctx.emit`. A listener is contractually a synchronous, side-effect-only recorder (`@deepseek-ai/dsh-fs-policy`'s is a `WeakMap.set`); the tool does not guard the emit, so a listener that throws would surface as the tool's `isError` result — async or fallible observation does not belong on this event.
 
+`read` opts into concurrent scheduling because its only mutation is the synchronous version recorder. Recorder races fail closed when a later `write` or `edit` re-checks the version under its target lock; both mutation tools remain exclusive.

 ## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
 
-- **No directory-listing, glob, grep, or search tools ship** — a deferral of [the tool-schemas RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/feature/2026-06-17-filesystem-tool-schemas.md); `ctx.fs.listDir` serves provider code such as skill discovery but still has no model-facing consumer, so models fall back to `bash`.
+- **No model-facing directory listing ships** — `ctx.fs.listDir` serves provider code such as skill discovery, while the sibling [`dsh-tool-fs-search`](../tool-fs-search/) package supplies bash-backed `glob` and `grep` rather than extending the filesystem seam.
 - **`read` handles UTF-8 text files only** — binary-safe reads and PDF/image/multimodal content are deferred; a directory target is `FS_NOT_REGULAR_FILE`.
 - **No timeout surface** — `read`/`write`/`edit` take no timeout argument and declare no `timeout-policy` budget; cancellation rides `exec.signal` only (the deliberate [fs-family stance](../README.md)).

 - **Untracked calls are transparent to the chain.** A call excluded by `include`/`exclude` neither increments nor resets the counter, so `grep X → todo_write → grep X` still counts as two consecutive `grep X` when `todo_write` is excluded. This is what makes exclusion useful: bookkeeping tools interleaved into a loop must not launder it.
 - **Denied calls count.** Detection sits on `tools/post-execute`, which also runs for calls a `tools/pre-execute` listener denied — a model hammering a denied call is exactly the loop worth breaking.
-- **Calls without an agent are ignored.** A direct `ctx.tools.execute()` caller has no model to remind and no `AgentId` to key on.
-- **Per-agent keying.** The tool registry is context-level and subagents interleave through the same waterfall, so chains are keyed by `AgentId`; one agent's repetition never trips another's reminder.

+- **Calls without an agent are ignored.** A direct `ctx.tools.execute()` caller has no model to remind and no live agent object to key on.
+- **Per-agent keying.** The tool registry is context-level and subagents interleave through the same waterfall, so a `WeakMap<Agent, Chain>` keys each chain by the live agent object; one agent's repetition never trips another's reminder. A user prompt (`agent/prompt-submit`) resets the submitting agent's chain, and object lifetime bounds the weak entry without a disposal listener.
 - **In-memory only.** A session resumed from persistence starts with a fresh chain — the guard is a heuristic nudge, not a logged invariant, later reminders are the accepted cost.
 
 ## Reminder delivery
 
-Reminders use source-attributed `additionalContext`, preserving the tool's original result. The loop records them after the step's results as reconstructable `context/message` events. The guard always delegates and folds its reminder onto downstream context, including blocked calls.
+Reminders ride the post-execute decision's `additionalContexts` (source `{kind: 'plugin', plugin: 'repeat-tool-guard'}`), never a `content` replacement: the `tool/result` event stays the tool's own output for audit. The loop buffers the context and appends it as a `context/message` after the step's tool results, which the session renders as the tagged synthetic-user envelope — so the reminder is model-visible, source-attributed, and reconstructable from the session log with no new session event. The guard always delegates via `next()` and prepends its reminder to the downstream decision's context array (both variants — a blocked call still gets the nudge); every entry retains its own source, envelope, and metadata.

 The matcher subject is the tool name (`PreToolUse`/`PostToolUse`), the session source (`SessionStart`), or a constant `agent_type` of `general-purpose` (`SubagentStart`/`SubagentStop` — the harness subagent seam carries no per-kind label, so the bridge reports Claude Code's own Task-tool default; a default/`*`/empty `agent_type` matcher fires, a specific-kind matcher does not); `UserPromptSubmit`/`Stop` ignore matchers. Multiple file-configured hooks on one point run **serially, in config order**, and fold most-restrictively (`deny > ask > allow`, see `dsh-hook-protocol`); serial keeps each hook's `hook/invoked`/`hook/result` pair adjacent in the log, and the fold is order-independent for the decision (see the RFC's "run serially, not concurrently" note).
 
+Every agent-scoped stdin payload carries `session_id` and string-shaped `transcript_path`. The bridge resolves the latter through `ctx.sessionPersistence.locate(session.header)` when available and otherwise sends `''`. Lookup does not create or flush the artifact, so a path can be absent before the first turn-end checkpoint or omit the current open turn.
+
 ## Context source
 
 Injected context carries an explicit `{ kind: 'plugin', plugin: 'hooks-claude' }` source. `agent.inject()` defaults a missing source to `{ kind: 'user' }`, which would mislabel plugin context as a user prompt — so the bridge always names itself.

 A tool call's payload carries the real `tool_name` (the same value the matcher tests) and Codex's `tool_input: { command }` shape (the `command` arg when present, else `''`). The matcher subject is the tool name (`PreToolUse`/`PostToolUse`) or the session source (`SessionStart`); `UserPromptSubmit`/`Stop` ignore matchers.
 
+Every agent-scoped stdin payload carries `session_id` and `transcript_path`. The bridge resolves the latter through `ctx.sessionPersistence.locate(session.header)` when available and otherwise sends `null`, preserving the Codex `string | null` shape. Lookup does not create or flush the artifact, so a path can be absent before the first turn-end checkpoint or omit the current open turn.
+
 `SessionStart` — the one emit point — runs detached; each run chain is tracked, and disposing the bridge aborts a still-running hook process, then drains the continuation before the dispose resolves (`createDetachedRuns` in `dsh-hook-protocol`).

-`models` lists every model name this one adapter instance serves: the adapter registers itself for each (the harness model name IS the wire `model` string), so a `generate`/`stream` call routes to it whenever `options.model` is any of them. Registering a second adapter for a name already taken throws `LlmError('DUPLICATE_ADAPTER')` (the LLM service enforces one adapter per model, all-or-nothing).
+The plugin registers the single provider route `deepseek`. A request selects it with `provider: deepseek`; its `model` is passed through as the wire `model` string, so changing DeepSeek models does not require lifecycle-time registration. Omitting `models` advertises `deepseek-v4-flash` and `deepseek-v4-pro`; an explicit list replaces those defaults, while `models: []` advertises none. Catalog entries are exposed through `ctx.llm.listModels('deepseek')` for clients such as ACP editors, but remain advisory: unlisted model ids still pass through unchanged. An omitted entry name defaults to its id. Registering another adapter for `deepseek` throws `LlmError('DUPLICATE_ADAPTER')`.
 
 `reasoningEffort` is **omitted by default** — when unset, the `reasoning_effort` wire field is not sent and the server applies its own default for the model. The only accepted values are `high` and `max` (DeepSeek's official effort levels). It is meaningful only with thinking enabled (the provider default).

 # @deepseek-ai/dsh-llm-pi-ai
 
-DeepSeek adapter for the harness LLM seam backed by [`@earendil-works/pi-ai`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@earendil-works/pi-ai) (the LLM library behind the pi agent).
+Generic multi-provider adapter for the harness LLM seam backed by [`@earendil-works/pi-ai`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@earendil-works/pi-ai). One plugin instance owns an explicit list of provider profiles; every request selects a profile with `GenerateOptions.provider` and resolves `GenerateOptions.model` dynamically from pi-ai's installed catalog.
 
-## Why a second adapter exists
-
-`@deepseek-ai/dsh-llm-deepseek` already talks to the same endpoint. This package is its **design-verification twin**: same models, same wire protocol, completely different internals — a unified LLM library with its own event vocabulary versus hand-rolled fetch/SSE. Anything the harness `StreamChunk` protocol cannot express for BOTH implementations is a core-vocabulary bug. The differences it exercised on purpose:
-
-- pi-ai hands tool-call `arguments` around as **parsed objects**; the harness keeps raw JSON strings. The adapter patches replay payloads back to the original raw strings before sending them, and re-stringifies parsed output tool calls at `block-end`.
-- pi-ai reports failures as **in-stream error events** (it never throws mid-stream); these map to `finish {kind:'error'|'aborted'}` chunks — the protocol's other sanctioned error path besides throwing (which llm-deepseek uses). Context-overflow detail maps to the same canonical `CONTEXT_WINDOW_EXCEEDED` code as the hand-rolled adapter.
-- pi-ai folds reasoning tokens into `usage.output`; there is no separate reasoning count to map.
-- pi-ai's options omit some DeepSeek/OpenAI-compatible details; the adapter uses its `onPayload` hook to preserve the harness contract (`stop`, scrubbing pi-ai's own per-tool `strict` default — the hand-rolled twin sends no such field — omitted reasoning effort, raw replayed tool arguments).
+The package root exposes the Cordis plugin contract and `PiAiAdapter`; profile resolution, model construction, replay conversion, and stream conversion remain package-internal.
 
 ## Config
 
-Same shape as llm-deepseek (one-line swap in cordis.yml), with pi-ai's thinking-level vocabulary:
+Configure credentials and deployment-specific transport settings per provider. Omitting `apiKey` delegates authentication to pi-ai's provider-native ambient discovery. `baseURL` overrides only the endpoint of the selected catalog model, preserving its API family and compatibility metadata, so private proxies such as `https://proxy.example.com:8443` remain supported.
 
 ```yaml
 - id: llm
   name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-llm-pi-ai'
   config:
-    apiKey: !!js process.env.DEEPSEEK_API_KEY
-    baseURL: !!js process.env.DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL
-    models: [deepseek-v4-flash, deepseek-v4-pro]
-    reasoning: high   # off | high | xhigh (xhigh → wire 'max')
+    providers:
+      - provider: openai
+        apiKey: !!js process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY
+        baseURL: https://proxy.example.com:8443
+        reasoning: high
+      - provider: anthropic
+        apiKey: !!js process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
+        maxRetries: 2
+      - provider: openrouter
+        apiKey: !!js process.env.OPENROUTER_API_KEY
+        headers:
+          X-Deployment: production
 ```
 
+Each provider name must exist in pi-ai's installed catalog and may appear only once in this plugin instance. Registration with `ctx.llm` is atomic: a collision with any provider route already owned by another adapter fails plugin loading without registering the remaining routes. Model ids are not lifecycle config; an unknown model fails before any provider request with `LlmError('UNKNOWN_MODEL')`.
+
+The adapter exposes each configured provider's installed pi-ai models through `ctx.llm.listModels(provider)`. This is provider-neutral selector metadata derived from `getModels(provider)`; request-time resolution still performs the authoritative catalog lookup, so discovery does not create a second model registry.
+
+Supported profile fields are `provider`, `apiKey`, `baseURL`, `headers`, `reasoning`, `thinkingBudgets`, `cacheRetention`, `transport`, `timeoutMs`, `websocketConnectTimeoutMs`, `maxRetries`, and `maxRetryDelayMs`. They map to pi-ai's common stream options. Harness app attribution wins a conflicting configured header name.
+
+## Provider/model routing and replay
+
+The selected pi-ai catalog descriptor supplies the protocol implementation. This includes native API differences such as OpenAI models whose descriptor uses the Responses API rather than Chat Completions; the harness adapter does not hardcode endpoint selection by model name.
+
+Successful assistant responses store a versioned, lossless-JSON replay state beside their durable provider/model provenance. At request time, `LlmService` passes replay state only when the historical provider route and target provider route are currently owned by this same `PiAiAdapter` instance. The adapter validates the state and restores pi-ai response ids and provider signatures even when the target provider or model changes; pi-ai then decides which metadata its target API can reuse. History without replay state is translated as foreign provider-neutral content and never impersonates a native pi-ai response.
+
+If a listener rewrites assembled assistant content, the loop drops replay state before logging the message because its provider metadata no longer describes the content. Invalid versions, malformed metadata, provenance provider/model mismatches, and content/block mismatches fail explicitly with `LlmError('INVALID_REPLAY_STATE')`.
+
+## Vocabulary differences
+
+- pi-ai tool-call arguments are parsed objects; the harness stores raw JSON strings. The adapter parses input and re-stringifies output.
+- pi-ai reports failures as in-stream error events; these map to `finish {kind:'error'|'aborted'}` chunks, with recognized context overflow normalized to `CONTEXT_WINDOW_EXCEEDED`.
+- pi-ai folds reasoning tokens into output usage; there is no separate reasoning count to map.
+- `GenerateOptions.stop` is rejected with `UNSUPPORTED_OPTION` because pi-ai's common streaming surface cannot guarantee it across providers.
+
 ## App attribution
 
-Every request carries the shared attribution header from dsh-llm's `attributionHeaders()`, passed through pi-ai's `headers` stream option (pi-ai merges caller headers last, so it always reaches the wire - the unit suite asserts arrival on the mock server, same as llm-deepseek). OpenRouter-specific app attribution headers are intentionally not sent by this adapter contract; they are deferred to a future explicit OpenRouter adapter or mode. See [dsh-llm § App attribution](../llm/README.md#app-attribution-attributionts).
+Every request carries the shared attribution header from dsh-llm's `attributionHeaders()`, merged through pi-ai's `headers` stream option. Provider-specific app-attribution headers are not synthesized. See [dsh-llm § App attribution](../llm/README.md#app-attribution-attributionts).
 
 ## Dependency weight
 
-pi-ai declares the openai/anthropic/google/mistral/AWS SDKs as install-time dependencies. They are lazy-loaded — only the openai SDK actually loads for this adapter — but they do land in `node_modules`. Accepted for a package whose purpose is design verification.
+pi-ai installs several provider SDKs and lazy-loads the one selected by the catalog model. The dependency weight is isolated to this opt-in adapter package.
 
 ## Testing
 
-Unit suites run against a local `node:http` mock SSE server (pi-ai's openai SDK happily talks to any base URL). Real-API coverage in `tests/adapter.e2e.ts` (`pnpm run test:e2e`, key-gated): V4 Flash + V4 Pro across all exposed reasoning levels (off/high/xhigh), the thinking+tools round trip, and a cross-adapter structural-equivalence check against llm-deepseek.
+Unit tests use pi-ai catalog models redirected to local mock servers and cover provider/profile routing, native API selection, endpoint overrides, attribution, conversion, replay-state validation, and cross-provider/model replay within one adapter instance. Real-API coverage remains key-gated under `pnpm run test:e2e`.
 
 ## Model Experience
 
-### DeepSeek request through pi-ai
+### Provider request through pi-ai
 
-**What the model sees**: The selected model receives the same logical system prompt, history, tools, stop sequences, and raw replayed tool arguments as the hand-written adapter. This package adds no prompt prose and removes pi-ai's own per-tool `strict` default to preserve that contract.
+**What the model sees**: The selected catalog model receives `GenerateOptions.system`, history, tools, and sampling fields supported by pi-ai's common streaming API. This package adds no prompt prose. Provider-native replay metadata is restored only when the adapter validates it for the historical content.
 
-**Token effect**: Provider tokenization governs exact input. Reasoning level changes generated and passback content; pi-ai reports reasoning inside output usage rather than as a separate count.
+**Token effect**: Provider tokenization governs exact input. Conversion adds no model-visible text; replay metadata may let a native API reuse provider-side state.
 
-### DeepSeek response
+### Provider response
 
-**What the model sees**: pi-ai events become harness reasoning, text, tool-call, usage, and finish chunks; parsed tool arguments are restored to raw JSON strings at the harness boundary.
+**What the model sees**: pi-ai events become harness reasoning, text, tool-call, usage, and finish chunks. Parsed tool arguments cross the harness boundary as raw JSON strings.

+**Token effect**: Generated content affects later inputs only after the loop records it. pi-ai folds reasoning tokens into output usage when the provider does not report them separately.
 
 ## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
 
-- **`tool_choice` is not mapped** — same MVP contract as llm-deepseek.
-- **In-history `system`-role messages fold into `user`-role wire messages** — pi-ai exposes a single `systemPrompt` slot, diverging from the hand-rolled twin's `role: 'system'` passthrough.
-- **`LlmError.status` is never set** — pi-ai reports failures as in-stream events with no HTTP status, so error codes are regex-classified from the error text.
-- **`buildModel` hardcodes descriptor metadata** — `contextWindow: 128000`, `maxTokens: 64000`, zero cost, identically for every registered model name; not configurable.
-- **pi-ai's built-in retries are disabled (`maxRetries: 0`)** — failures surface immediately; retry policy belongs to `llm/stream` listeners.
+- **Catalog membership is required** — custom model ids that are absent from the installed pi-ai catalog fail with `UNKNOWN_MODEL`, even when a provider profile supplies a custom endpoint.
+- **`GenerateOptions.stop` is unsupported** — pi-ai's common stream options cannot guarantee stop-sequence behavior across providers, so the adapter rejects the field.
+- **In-history `system` messages use pi-ai's common context conversion** — provider-specific placement follows pi-ai rather than a harness-owned wire override.
+- **Provider HTTP status is unavailable** — pi-ai error events do not expose a stable HTTP status across providers; failures expose only stable harness error codes.

 ### Public API
 
-- `ctx.llm.registerAdapter(models: string[], adapter: LlmAdapter): () => void` Register an adapter for the given model names. Disposed with the calling fiber.
-- `ctx.llm.models(): string[]` — model names with a registered adapter.
+- `ctx.llm.registerAdapter(providers: string[], adapter: LlmAdapter): () => void` Register one adapter instance for the given provider routes. Registration is all-or-nothing, and is disposed with the calling fiber.
+- `ctx.llm.listProviders(): LlmProviderInfo[]` Describe registered provider routes in registration order.
+- `ctx.llm.listModels(provider: string): Promise<LlmModelInfo[]>` Discover the models one registered provider currently advertises.
 - `ctx.llm.stream(options: GenerateOptions): AsyncIterable<StreamChunk>` Stream one model call as raw chunks (token-level deltas). Consumers assemble the chunks into blocks/messages with `BlockAssembler`.
 
 `LlmService` preserves and privately tags errors from final adapter selection, synchronous dispatch, iterator construction, and iteration. `isLlmAdapterFailure(value)` exposes that provenance without classifying `llm/stream` middleware or downstream consumer failures as provider failures, and without replacing the adapter's original coded `Error`.
 
+Provider and model metadata is a discovery surface, not a routing whitelist. `registerAdapter()` still owns provider exclusivity, while an adapter may accept model ids absent from `listModels()`; consumers must not reject a request because its model is unlisted. Returned metadata is detached and invalid or duplicate adapter entries fail with `INVALID_ADAPTER` or `INVALID_CATALOG`.

+- Subclass `LlmAdapter` and call `ctx.llm.registerAdapter(providers, adapter)` to add one or more provider routes. `GenerateOptions.provider` selects the adapter; `GenerateOptions.model` is adapter-owned and may be resolved dynamically. Override `providerInfo()` and asynchronous `listModels()` to expose selector metadata; their defaults use the route id as its name and advertise no models.

 ### Content-block vocabulary (`types.ts`)
 
-Messages are arrays of typed content blocks: `text`, `reasoning`, `tool-call`, `tool-result`. The union is derived from the merge-extensible `ContentBlockMap`, so plugins can add block types via declaration merging. The core set is limited to blocks every shipping path honors — multimodal content (images, audio, …) has no core block type; a feature that needs one adds it via the map together with the adapter/UI/compaction support that honors it.
+Messages are arrays of typed content blocks: `text`, `reasoning`, `tool-call`, `tool-result`. The union is derived from the merge-extensible `ContentBlockMap`, so plugins can add block types via declaration merging. Assistant messages produced by the loop also carry provider/model provenance and optional adapter-private replay state. Before dispatch, `LlmService` retains that state only when the historical provider route and target provider route are currently owned by the exact same adapter instance; the adapter then decides whether it can restore or convert the state across models/providers. The core block set is limited to blocks every shipping path honors — multimodal content (images, audio, …) has no core block type; a feature that needs one adds it via the map together with the adapter/UI/compaction support that honors it.
 
 Streaming is a raw chunk protocol (`block-start`, `text-delta`, `reasoning-delta`, `tool-call-delta`, `block-end`, `usage`, `finish`). `BlockAssembler` is the single shared implementation that assembles chunks into blocks/messages.
 
 ### Call configuration (`call-config.ts`)
 
-`LlmCallConfig` is the model + sampling scalars of one conversation's requests (`model`, `temperature`, `maxTokens`, `stop` — each mapping 1:1 onto the same-named `GenerateOptions` field). It is per-conversation state recorded in the session log as part of the request header (see the dsh-session `request/header` events), never a silently-adjustable per-call knob: the `agent/request` waterfall proposes a replacement and the loop logs a real change. `callConfigEquals(a, b)` is the field-wise real-change detector; `deepFreeze(value)` is the ownership helper the loop applies to every built request before dispatch (`llm/stream` listeners and adapters read, never rewrite).

 ### Real adapters
 
-Two adapters implement `LlmAdapter` on different internals: [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-llm-deepseek`](../llm-deepseek) uses hand-rolled fetch/SSE, while [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-llm-pi-ai`](../llm-pi-ai) uses `@earendil-works/pi-ai`. Both follow the `StreamChunk` conventions in `types.ts`: usage precedes finish, tool arguments remain raw strings, and errors take one of two sanctioned paths. See [the twin LLM adapters](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-13-twin-llm-adapters.md) for the design rationale.

 `measure()` synchronizes once and returns one detached, deeply immutable snapshot. `totalTokens` is request-and-response pressure, while `surfaceTokens` is the surface-only heuristic total and equals the sum of `nodes[].tokens`. A `requestHeader` override affects pressure fields only; the surface fields still describe the current session. Every call clones the positional nodes, so measurement is O(surface).

 A SQLite durable session-persistence backend — a second `SessionPersistence` implementation ([session persistence](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-14-session-persistence.md)), built to validate that the abstract seam and the shared `runPersistenceContract` suite are genuinely backend-agnostic. It satisfies the SAME contract as `dsh-session-persistence-jsonl` (append-only, contiguous-seq, lazy materialization, interrupted-turn close on load), expressed over `node:sqlite` rows instead of file bytes.
 
+`locate(meta)` returns `undefined`: all sessions share one database, so there is no honest independent per-session transcript path.
+
 > **TODO:** this backend talks to `node:sqlite` directly. If a cordis database service (`cordis/db` / a `@cordisjs` SQL driver plugin) is adopted, route through that instead of holding a raw `DatabaseSync` here — the contract surface (`SessionPersistence`) would not change, only the storage driver.

 `PersistenceCoordinator` owns per-id state, write-behind buffers and serialization, the `session/event` → `session/flush` drain, lazy materialization, crash-tail repair, session adoption, and quiescent disposal. A first-party backend composes one, implements the small `PersistenceBackend` storage hook interface, and delegates its four public service methods. JSONL and SQLite therefore share lifecycle correctness while retaining different storage primitives; see the [coordinator RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-18-shared-persistence-write-coordinator.md).
 
+When a live session emits `session/disposed`, the coordinator waits for its initialization, serializes a final buffer drain, then releases every map entry owned by that exact `Session` object. A failed final drain keeps the pending buffer for backend teardown to retry. Backend teardown stops event admission first, awaits all in-flight session retirements and remaining per-id operations, drains any retained buffers, and only then closes the storage handle.

-Exact session-history retrieval through `ctx.sessionQuery`. The service presents live `ctx.sessions` and an optional, dynamically mounted `ctx.sessionPersistence` as one logical corpus. Matching ids produce one record: live events win, while `live` and `persisted` report both source availabilities. Conflicting immutable headers fail with `SESSION_QUERY_SOURCE_CONFLICT`.
+Exact session-history retrieval and relationship tracing through `ctx.sessionQuery`. The service presents live `ctx.sessions` and an optional, dynamically mounted `ctx.sessionPersistence` as one logical corpus. Matching ids produce one record: live events win, while `live` and `persisted` report both source availabilities. Conflicting immutable headers fail with `SESSION_QUERY_SOURCE_CONFLICT`.
 
 ## Reads
 
 - `listSessions()` reads current persistence metadata, merges live records with live precedence, and returns cloned records in deterministic newest-first order.
 - `listEvents(sessionId)` loads the live-preferred raw log and classifies each event as `current`, `shadowed`, or `log-only` with the shared `dsh-session` surface fold.
 - `readEvent(request)` returns a cloned header, the full target event, and a bounded raw-seq window. `before` and `after` default to zero and may not exceed `readWindowMax`.
+- `traceSession(sessionId)` reads the corpus once and returns immediate-to-outward ancestors plus deterministic recursive descendant trees. `complete: false` identifies the first missing parent; a target-connected cycle fails with `SESSION_QUERY_INVALID_LINEAGE`.
+- `traceEvent(request)` loads the logical log once and returns direct positional replacements and direct logged provenance. `replacementChain` follows positional replacers to the final replacement; provenance links remain non-transitive.
 
-Persistence is optional and may mount or unmount dynamically. A cross-corpus list fails with `SESSION_QUERY_PERSISTENCE_FAILED` while mounted persistence is unreadable. A read targeting a known live session does not consult persistence, so durable backend health cannot make current in-memory history unreadable. Persisted exact reads list before loading, and reject a metadata mismatch rather than combining inconsistent observations.

Persisted event operations list before loading and reject a metadata mismatch rather than combining inconsistent observations.
 
-`SessionQueryError.code` is a closed union: `SESSION_QUERY_EVENT_NOT_FOUND`, `SESSION_QUERY_INVALID_CONFIG`, `SESSION_QUERY_INVALID_SURFACE`, `SESSION_QUERY_INVALID_WINDOW`, `SESSION_QUERY_PERSISTENCE_FAILED`, `SESSION_QUERY_SESSION_NOT_FOUND`, and `SESSION_QUERY_SOURCE_CONFLICT`.
+`listEvents()` and `traceEvent()` run the same one-pass `dsh-session` surface fold. A loaded log is valid only when event seqs are zero-based and contiguous, surface markers obey event-type eligibility, provenance arrays are nonempty and duplicate-free, references name earlier events, and each positional replacement names and cites every surface node it removes; every violation fails with `SESSION_QUERY_INVALID_SURFACE`.

 ## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
 
 - **No caller authorization** — this is trusted context-wide infrastructure; a future model tool or UI must constrain which sessions its caller may inspect.
-- **Exact retrieval only** — filters, lineage/provenance traversal, extraction, search-provider protocol, index synchronization, and a model-facing tool are absent. Full-text search belongs beside its first implementation; the proposed SQLite package and its single transaction/reconciliation owner are described in the [phase-two RFC](../../../docs/rfc/proposed/feature/2026-07-10-sqlite-session-query-provider.md).

+# spill/ - spill storage capability family
+
+The tool-output spill capability seam: an abstract storage interface, a local filesystem implementation, and the tool-result policy that uses it. All **product** packages.
+
+| Package | Role | ctx key |
+|---|---|---|
+| `spill/` | Abstract spill storage seam (`saveText` — persist oversized tool text and return a locator + retrieval hint) | `ctx.spillStore` |
+| `spill-local/` | Local-filesystem backend: private, session-scoped files with traversal-safe names | (registers on `ctx.spillStore`) |
+| `spill-policy/` | `tools/post-execute` policy: replaces oversized plain-text results with a preview + spill locator | (no service surface) |
+
+The interface lives at `spill/spill/`. The split mirrors bash/fs: the seam owns storage only, `spill-local` owns the filesystem mechanics, and `spill-policy` owns WHEN to spill and the model-facing notice. Preview mechanics stay in [`util/retention`](../util/README.md) — the policy composes the two without either owning the other's job.
+
+See the [tool output spill RFC](../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-08-tool-output-spill-files.md) for the design rationale, including why final-result spill is separate from tool-owned early spill (bash streams, subagent rollouts) and why creation belongs to the runtime spill seam rather than the model-facing `write` tool.

+# @deepseek-ai/dsh-spill-local
+
+The **local-filesystem** implementation of the [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-spill`](../spill) storage seam. Registers as `ctx.spillStore` and persists a tool's oversized text to a private, session-scoped file; its locator is the file path and its retrieval hint tells the model to use `read` or `grep` on that path.
+
+## Storage layout
+
+Files land at `<root>/session-<hash>/​<random>-<safeName>`:
+
+- **`root`** — the config `root` (resolved to absolute), or a lazily-created private (0700) per-process directory under the OS temp dir when omitted. A predictable, world-readable root would let other local users read spilled tool output or plant symlinks.
+- **`session-<hash>`** — a short `sha256(sessionId)` prefix, so a session's spill files group together and a future cleanup can drop them per session.
+- **`<random>-<safeName>`** — an unpredictable hex prefix (defeats symlink planting in a shared root) plus the caller's `suggestedName` sanitized to one safe path segment (traversal-proof; mirrors the JSONL persistence backend's `encodeSegment`). The write is exclusive + owner-only (`open(path, 'wx', 0o600)`): it fails on any pre-existing path, symlink or not, so a planted target cannot redirect it.
+
+## Config
+
+| Key | Default | Meaning |
+|---|---|---|
+| `root` | private 0700 temp dir | Root directory for spill files. Set to keep them under a known location. |
+
+`saveText` rejects on a real storage failure (permissions, ENOSPC); the spill policy treats a rejection as best-effort and keeps the inline result. See the seam README for the vocabulary and the [tool output spill RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-08-tool-output-spill-files.md) for the design.
+
+## Model Experience
+
+Indirectly, through spill consumers that render the local path and `read`/`grep` retrieval guidance.
+
+## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
+
+- **Local spill files persist until external cleanup** — the backend has no session-lifecycle deletion or age-based retention policy, because persisted, resumed, and forked sessions may still reference a path.
+- **Locators require a co-located filesystem consumer** — a remote or virtual deployment needs another `SpillStore` backend whose locator and retrieval hint are meaningful there.

When a final result exceeds `maxInlineBytes`, it saves the FULL text through [`ctx.spillStore`](../spill) and replaces the model-facing result with a bounded head/tail preview plus the backend's locator and retrieval hint.

+This plugin registers **no service** and owns no storage or preview mechanics: preview is [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-retention`](../../util/retention) (`TextRetainer`), storage is `ctx.spillStore`. It only decides WHEN to spill and composes the notice.
+
+## Config
+
+| Key | Default | Meaning |
+|---|---|---|
+| `maxInlineBytes` | *(omitted)* | Model-facing context cap for a plain-text result, in UTF-8 bytes (a non-negative integer; validated at load). **Omitted disables the policy entirely** (the plugin registers nothing). When set, a larger result is spilled and replaced with a preview derived from the same budget (head/tail split). |
+
+## Behavior
+
+1. Let the tool run (delegates via `next()`, so it bounds whatever a downstream hook accepted).
+2. Skip `read` (avoids a `read → spill → read again` loop) and any non-`accept` decision (a `block`'s corrective feedback passes through).
+3. Flatten the accepted content only when it is **plain text** (all `text` blocks); a result with any non-text block is left untouched.
+4. If its UTF-8 size is `≤ maxInlineBytes`, leave it unchanged.
+5. Otherwise save the full text and replace the result with a preview + this notice, sized so the whole replacement (preview + blank line + notice) stays within `maxInlineBytes` — the notice's byte cost is reserved out of the budget, so the preview shrinks to fit and the model-facing result never exceeds the cap:
+
+   ```text
+   <retained head/tail preview>
+
+   (Omitted N bytes. Full formatted result stored at: /…/session-…/…-web_fetch.txt. Use read with offset/limit, or grep this path to search within it.)
+   ```
+
+   When the notice alone fills the budget (a tiny cap or a long locator) the preview is empty and only the notice is returned. If even that notice-only replacement would exceed `maxInlineBytes`, the policy keeps the inline result — it never emits a replacement over the cap (and a within-cap replacement is always smaller than the original, so this also means spilling never adds bytes).
+
+**Best-effort:** no session owner, no `ctx.spillStore` backend, or a `saveText` rejection ⇒ the policy logs a warning and returns the original result. A spill failure never turns a successful call into an `isError` or hides the inline result.
+
+## Scope
+
+The policy sees only the FINAL formatted tool result — not a tool's internal resource. If a provider already truncated (e.g. `web-fetch-local.maxBodyChars`), the spill artifact holds the full formatted result the tool returned, not the full original source. Provider/resource caps stay mandatory and separate. Tool-owned early spill (bash streams, subagent rollouts) is future work — see the [tool output spill RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-08-tool-output-spill-files.md).
+
+## Model Experience
+
+### Oversized plain-text result
+
+**What the model sees**: Results at or below `maxInlineBytes`, `read` results, blocked decisions, and results containing non-text blocks are unchanged. An oversized plain-text result becomes a bounded head/tail preview followed by `(Omitted <bytes> bytes. Full formatted result stored at: <locator>. <retrievalHint>)`; storage or ownership failures leave the original result visible.
+
+**Token effect**: A successful replacement is at most `maxInlineBytes` UTF-8 bytes and remains in history until compaction; the full spill text is not resent to the model.
+
+## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
+
+- **Only final plain-text results are spillable** — mixed-content results, blocked feedback, and `read` pass through; provider truncation or tool-owned retention that happened earlier cannot be recovered here.
+- **A notice that cannot fit disables replacement for that call** — a tiny cap or long locator leaves the oversized original inline after the backend has already saved an unreferenced spill.

+/**
+ * The spill-policy PLUGIN: a `tools/post-execute` result transformer that keeps
+ * oversized plain-text tool results out of the model's context. When a final
+ * result's UTF-8 size exceeds `maxInlineBytes`, it saves the FULL text to a
+ * session-scoped spill artifact (`ctx.spillStore`) and replaces the
+ * model-facing result with a bounded head/tail preview plus the backend's
+ * locator and retrieval guidance.
+ *
+ * It registers NO service and owns NO storage or preview mechanics: preview is
+ * `@deepseek-ai/dsh-retention` (`TextRetainer`), storage is `ctx.spillStore`.
+ * The policy only decides WHEN to spill and composes the notice.
+ *
+ * ## Deliberately narrow
+ *
+ * - Omitted `maxInlineBytes` ⇒ the plugin registers nothing (a true no-op).
+ * - Plain-text results only: a result carrying any non-text block is left
+ *   untouched (the policy knows only the final formatted text, not tool
+ *   internals).
+ * - `read` is skipped to avoid a `read → spill → read again` loop.
+ * - Best-effort: no session owner, no `ctx.spillStore` backend, or a save
+ *   failure ⇒ log and return the original result. A spill failure must NEVER
+ *   turn a successful tool call into an `isError` or hide the inline result.
+ *
+ * It COMPOSES with other post-execute listeners: it delegates via `next()` and
+ * bounds the resulting `accept` content, so a hook that replaced the content
+ * still has its replacement bounded, and a `block` decision passes through
+ * unchanged.

+# @deepseek-ai/dsh-spill
+
+The **spill storage seam**: an abstract `SpillStore` service (`ctx.spillStore`) defining WHAT a spill backend does — persist a tool's oversized text and return a model-facing locator plus retrieval guidance — without saying HOW.
+
+This package is one third of the spill capability, split so each concern evolves (and swaps) independently:
+
+| Package | Role |
+|---|---|
+| `@deepseek-ai/dsh-spill` (this) | the interface: abstract service + vocabulary types |
+| `@deepseek-ai/dsh-spill-local` | an implementation: private session-scoped files on the host filesystem |
+| `@deepseek-ai/dsh-spill-policy` | the tool-result policy that spills oversized final results |
+
+The split mirrors the bash/fs seams. A future remote or virtual backend (e.g. a `spill://…` URI, a database key, or a backend-specific retrieval tool) implements this interface without touching the policy plugin.
+
+## Service API (`ctx.spillStore`)
+
+| Member | Semantics |
+|---|---|
+| `saveText(input)` | Persist `input.content` verbatim; resolves with a `SpillRef` (opaque locator, exact bytes written, and retrieval hint). **Rejects on a real storage failure** (permissions, ENOSPC, backend unavailable) — the caller decides how to degrade. |
+
+Storage is grouped by the request's `owner` session as a save-time namespace; the backend chooses its own private representation and may derive names from — never trust as a path — the caller's `suggestedName`. The seam owns storage only: NO retention policy (that is [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-retention`](../../util/retention)), NO tool-result replacement (that is `@deepseek-ai/dsh-spill-policy`), NO retrieval/search API (the backend's `retrievalHint` tells the model what to do with the locator).
+
+## Vocabulary
+
+`SaveTextSpill` (owner, source, suggestedName, content) is the request; `SpillRef` (locator, bytes, retrievalHint) is the result. `SpillLocator` is [branded](../../util/brand) and rendered to the model as an opaque string — a local path for `dsh-spill-local`, but a future backend may return a URI, key, or command token without changing policy/tool consumers. `SpillOwner.sessionId` is the save-time storage namespace: forked sessions inherit existing locators from the seeded log without copying or re-owning them, and new spills after the fork use the child session id. `SpillSource` (toolName, callId, label) is descriptive provenance for backend naming and inspection, not access control. See `src/types.ts` for the full contracts.
+
+See the [tool output spill RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-08-tool-output-spill-files.md) for the design rationale, including why creation belongs to the runtime spill seam rather than the model-facing `write` tool.
+
+## Model Experience
+
+Indirectly, through spill consumers that render a backend locator and retrieval guidance.
+
+## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
+
+- **The seam has no retrieval or deletion API** — consumers can only render the backend's locator and guidance; lifecycle and access semantics remain backend-specific.
+- **Storage is not access control** — `SpillOwner` namespaces writes but does not authorize reads of a locator; each backend and retrieval consumer must enforce its own boundary.

 `start(request)` performs `spawn` → ACP `initialize` → `newSession` before it fulfills. Fulfillment therefore means a remote session is ready and ownership has transferred to the caller. A spawn, initialization, new-session, or pre-publication cancellation failure rejects only after the subprocess has been reaped.
 
+The returned run id is minted in the parent namespace. The child server's session id remains private to ACP wire calls because ACP guarantees it only within that fresh child process; using it as the parent lifecycle id could collide with another remote run or a local agent.
+
 After publication, the provider sends the prompt and collects streamed `agent_message_chunk` text into `SubagentResult.output`. A prompt/transport failure resolves with `stopReason: 'error'`, or `aborted` when the required request signal or disposal requested cancellation.
 
 `dispose()` is idempotent. It removes the signal listener, requests ACP cancellation when possible, closes stdin, waits `disposeEofGraceMs`, escalates to SIGTERM, waits `disposeGraceMs`, and finally uses SIGKILL if necessary. Every run uses a fresh process; process pooling is not implemented.

 /**
- * Minimal no-network ACP child process for keyless backend tests. Environment variables script its
- * text and stop reason, a cancel-cooperative or cancel-ignoring hang, permission requests, and a
- * readiness marker. Disposal fixtures can delay an EOF flush, ignore EOF but exit and mark
- * SIGTERM, or trap SIGTERM to require SIGKILL. The specs spawn this non-test module under tsx with
- * an explicit tsconfig, mirroring real example boot.
+ * A minimal mock ACP AGENT, run as a subprocess, for the keyless
+ * `dsh-subagent-acp` tests. It speaks the agent side of ACP over stdio and is
+ * fully scripted by environment variables — no model, no network:
+ *
+ * - `MOCK_TEXT`        — the assistant text it streams as one `agent_message_chunk`.
+ * - `MOCK_STOP`        — the ACP `StopReason` it returns from `prompt`
+ *                        (`end_turn` default, or `max_tokens`/`refusal`/…).
+ * - `MOCK_HANG`        — if `1`, `prompt` never resolves on its own (it waits for
+ *                        a `session/cancel`), to exercise the client's cancel path.
+ * - `MOCK_IGNORE_CANCEL` — if `1` (with MOCK_HANG), the agent receives
+ *                        `session/cancel` but NEVER resolves the pending prompt
+ *                        and never exits — a non-cooperative child. The backend's
+ *                        `result` must still settle `aborted` on its own and
+ *                        `dispose()` must still kill the process.
+ * - `MOCK_PERMISSION`  — if `1`, the agent calls `session/request_permission`
+ *                        before answering, to exercise the client's auto-answer.
+ * - `MOCK_READY_FILE`  — if set, the path the agent touches once its `prompt`
+ *                        handler is in flight (it has streamed its chunk). A test
+ *                        polls for this file to cancel on a CONDITION rather than
+ *                        an arbitrary timeout (subprocess cold-start is variable).
+ * - `MOCK_MISSING_SESSION_ID` — if `1`, return a malformed empty `session/new`
+ *                        response to exercise startup rollback.
+ * - `MOCK_FLUSH_ON_EOF` — if set, on stdin EOF the agent takes an async beat
+ *                         (MOCK_FLUSH_DELAY_MS, default 150) simulating the real
+ *                         acp-agent's EOF-driven quiesce+flush, then touches this
+ *                         path and exits ON ITS OWN — no signal. Stands in for a
+ *                         child whose durable flush completes only if dispose
+ *                         gives EOF a real window before escalating to SIGTERM.
+ * - `MOCK_IGNORE_EOF`   — if `1`, keep the event loop alive past stdin EOF (a bare
+ *                         timer) but install a SIGTERM handler that exits (and, if
+ *                         MOCK_SIGTERM_FILE is set, touches it as an observable
+ *                         proof the SIGTERM rung fired). The child ignores the
+ *                         graceful EOF window yet dies cooperatively on SIGTERM —
+ *                         exercising dispose's middle tier (exit during the SIGTERM
+ *                         grace, before the SIGKILL escalation). Touches
+ *                         MOCK_READY_FILE once armed.
+ *
+ * It is not a test spec: the specs launch this protocol-only fixture through
+ * the mode-aware example resolver (tsx in source mode, Node type stripping in
+ * built mode). It imports no harness code or workspace paths.

 The parent's current tool-calling turn is still open when a subagent starts: its log contains the assistant tool call but not the matching tool result or `turn/end`. Copying that raw log would give the child an invalid, unbalanced session.
 
-Fork therefore uses `completedTurnPrefix(parent.session.events)`: the contiguous prefix ending at the last `turn/end`. The child sees all completed parent turns and none of the in-flight turn. If the parent has not completed a turn yet, the seed is empty and the child behaves like a fresh spawn.
+Fork therefore computes the contiguous prefix ending at the last `turn/end`. The child sees all completed parent turns and none of the in-flight turn. If the parent has not completed a turn yet, the seed is empty and the child behaves like a fresh spawn.
 
 The seed transfers conversation history only. The child still receives a fresh flat registration scope; it does not inherit the parent's tool restrictions or authority.

 Spawn-failure capture: a promise that resolves (never rejects) with the child's first `error` event. A spawn failure such as `ENOENT` is an event, not a thrown exception — without a listener Node crashes the parent process — so call this in the same tick as `spawn()` and race it in the run's result path; a bad command then settles as an ordinary child-level failure. For a child that spawns cleanly the promise never settles.
 
-### `waitForExit(child)` / `exitsWithin(child, ms)`
-
-Exit waits over a `ChildProcess`: resolve once the child exits by any code or signal (immediately if it is already gone), or race that against a timer (`true` = exited in time). The race cleans up after itself on both outcomes — the pending timer is `unref()`ed and cleared on exit, the exit listener removed on timeout — so repeated calls (the dispose ladder's tiers, a poll loop) never accumulate listeners on the child.

 The two graces (`DisposeLadderGraces`) come from the consuming plugin's `disposeEofGraceMs`/`disposeGraceMs` Config fields; the EOF window is deliberately a separate — usually wider — grace than the signal tier, since a cooperative child's EOF teardown may itself await a signal-trapping grandchild plus a final flush.
 
+The exit waits are internal to this ladder. They clean up their timer and listener on either outcome, so escalation never accumulates listeners on the child.

 ### `createIsolatedConfigDir(prefix, pinnedPath?)`
 
 A per-run isolated config directory for an external CLI child (the target of `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` / `CODEX_HOME`-style redirection), so child behavior is a function of deployment config alone — never of whatever `~/.claude` / `~/.codex`-style state exists on the host. Returns an `IsolatedConfigDir` handle: `path` goes into the child env, `remove()` runs on dispose.

 `SubagentRun.result` resolves to `{ output, structured?, stopReason }`. Child-level failures resolve with a non-`completed` reason; only an infrastructure fault that the seam cannot represent may reject. `dispose()` is idempotent, cancels remaining work, and waits for the child resources to quiesce.
 
-The service emits `subagent/start` only after `start()` has fulfilled. It attaches the result observer before that synchronous notification, so even an already-settled child still produces `subagent/start` before `subagent/end`. In-process start observers can resolve the published child through `ctx.agents.get(info.id)`; remote providers need not publish a local agent.
+A local run publishes an ordinary child agent/session before `start()` fulfills, returns that shared session id as `SubagentRun.id`, exposes the exact child as `SubagentRun.localAgent`, and records `request.parent.session.id` in the child's `parentSession` header. Remote providers instead mint a parent-scoped lifecycle id and return `localAgent: undefined`.

+The service emits `subagent/start` only after `start()` has fulfilled. It attaches the result observer before that synchronous notification, so even an already-settled child still produces `subagent/start` before `subagent/end`. The pair shares a service-minted `runId`; its `local` flag is snapshotted from the provider's exact `localAgent`, so observers never infer run identity or locality from reusable provider/session names.
 
 Run events are scoped to the delegating parent. Every listener is independently contained: a synchronous throw or rejected returned promise is logged without starving peer listeners or changing the run.

 The ACP snapshot suite kit: the shared machinery behind the keyless snapshot tier (`pnpm run test:snapshot`, [testing policy](../../../docs/testing.md)). An example gets a full snapshot suite from a scenario table plus a fixtures directory; every compare/guard mechanic lives here, under the per-file coverage gate, instead of being copied per example.

+Four layers, importable separately:
 
-- **`runScenario` (harness)** — boots the real agent bin as a subprocess via tsx (unbuilt, Loader path), drives it over ACP JSON-RPC stdio from a deterministic `input.json` script, tees raw stdout for the golden + purity check, and harvests every persisted session JSONL (parent + subagent children, primary-first) after a graceful stdin-EOF shutdown. Parameterized by `AgentUnderTest` (`binScript`, `configPath`, `tsconfigPath` — absolute paths; the subprocess cwd is a temp dir outside the repo).
+- **`launchAcpTestAgent` (launcher)** — boots an unbuilt ACP agent from a temp cwd, pins tsx to the repo tsconfig, connects the SDK client over a raw-byte stdout tee, collects session updates and stderr, surfaces asynchronous spawn failures through its startup lifecycle, fails closed on unhandled permission requests, and owns graceful or signalled shutdown. Shutdown waits for process exit, inherited stdio closure, and ACP parser exhaustion before resolving or propagating a child error, so captures are complete and callers can remove owned paths after either outcome. Snapshot and ordinary e2e suites share this process boundary; a test supplies only agent paths, cwd, environment overrides, and any permission policy.

Parameterized by `AgentUnderTest` (`binScript`, `configPath`, `tsconfigPath` — absolute paths; the subprocess cwd is a temp dir outside the repo). Startup failures preserve captured agent stderr in the rejected diagnostic.
 - **Normalizers** — pure functions turning the two captured surfaces into stable text: `normalizeStdout` (JSON-RPC ids → first-seen sequence; UUIDs/cwd → tokens; doubles as the stdout-purity check), `normalizeSessionLog` (times zeroed, `seq` kept), `scrubSystemPrompts` (prompt text → `{{system}}`), `scrubToolSchemas` (schema bulk → `{{tools}}`), and `scrubRequestHeaders` (all header bulk → `{{system}}`/`{{tools}}`/`{{messagePrefix}}` outside each pin, structure kept — [pinned-header RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/testing/2026-07-06-pin-request-header-content-in-one-scenario.md)).
-- **`defineAcpSnapshotSuite` (factory)** — registers the whole describe/it tree for a scenario table: per-scenario golden + re-persisted-log compares, record/refresh fixture write-back, rejection of structured `UNKNOWN_TOOL` results, the per-header-class pin (`system-prompt.golden.md` plus `tool-schemas.golden.json`) with its live uniformity guard, and the fixture guard block (no orphan scenario dirs, required files present, exactly one pin per class, every JSONL prompt/schema-scrubbed, non-pinning fixtures fully header-scrubbed).

A pin with legitimate mid-run header changes declares `expectedHeaderChanges`, which fixes the length of both sidecar sequences.
 
-Examples use a `cordis.snapshot.yml` overlay with [`dsh-llm-replay`](../llm-replay/README.md). Recording calls the live model and updates model fixtures; keyless refresh replays those fixtures and updates derived stdout, session-log, prompt, and tool-schema snapshots. See the [snapshot RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/testing/2026-06-19-acp-snapshot-tests.md).
+The example also ships a `cordis.snapshot.yml` replay overlay next to its `cordis.yml` (the bin swaps them under `DSH_SNAPSHOT=replay` — [single-source replay config RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/testing/2026-07-04-single-source-acp-replay-config.md)); replay fixtures are served by [`dsh-llm-replay`](../llm-replay/README.md), which this package points at via the `DSH_SNAPSHOT_*` env vars it sets on the child. `pnpm run test:snapshot:record` calls the live LLM and rewrites the recorded scenarios' model fixtures; `pnpm run test:snapshot:refresh` stays keyless, runs the replay overlay, and rewrites stdout, comparable session-log goldens, and each pin's prompt and tool-schema sidecars from the committed model scripts. Fixture roles, record/replay/refresh semantics, and scenario-table fields are documented on `Scenario` and in the [snapshot RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/testing/2026-06-19-acp-snapshot-tests.md).
 
-`suite.ts` imports Vitest, so use this package only inside a Vitest run. The ACP-specific script queues permission answers by stable option kind and maps them to current option ids; a missing answer cancels, while an unavailable kind fails the scenario after cancelling the agent request. It can also set session config options or assert that unknown ids and values are rejected in the transcript.
+Constraints: `suite.ts` imports vitest, so the package entry is importable only inside a vitest run (the launcher, harness, and normalizers have no such dependency but ship from the same entry). ACP-specific by design — the launcher speaks the SDK's `ClientSideConnection`. Permission round-trips are scriptable: `InputScript.permissionAnswers` is a FIFO queue of option-kind selections (`allow_once`, `reject_once`, …) the client maps to the agent-issued `optionId` at answer time; an absent or exhausted queue answers `cancelled`, and a kind the request never offered rejects the run (the agent is answered `cancelled`, so a tolerant agent cannot absorb the scenario bug). Session config options are scriptable too: the `setConfigOption` step switches a knob over `session/set_config_option`, and `setConfigOptionExpectError` asserts the bridge rejects an unknown id or out-of-vocabulary value (the error frame stays in the transcript).

+# `@deepseek-ai/dsh-agent-loop-testkit`
+
+Shared prerequisite mounting for tests that exercise the concrete `AgentLoop`. `mountAgentLoopTestDependencies(ctx, options?)` installs the LLM, session, system-prompt, tool, and agent services in dependency order, then returns before the loop is mounted.
+
+The caller registers adapters and optional plugins, mounts `AgentLoop` with the configuration under test, and disposes its own Context. System-prompt and tool-registry configuration can be forwarded through `options`; the helper does not provide test defaults beyond those owned by the services. A plugin-load failure rejects the helper call, while services activated earlier in the sequence remain owned by the caller's Context.
+
+```ts
+import { Context } from 'cordis'
+import AgentLoop from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-agent-loop'
+import { mountAgentLoopTestDependencies } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-agent-loop-testkit'
+
+const ctx = new Context()
+
+await mountAgentLoopTestDependencies(ctx)
+// Register the test adapter and any optional plugins here.
+await ctx.plugin(AgentLoop, { agents: [] })
+```
+
+Tests of injection failures, partial topology, service load order, or service teardown mount their dependencies directly instead of using this helper.
+
+## Model Experience
+
+None, as this test-only composition helper neither drives nor modifies model requests.
+
+## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
+
+- **Only the mandatory prerequisite spine is shared** — adapters, optional plugins, `AgentLoop`, agents, and Context teardown remain caller-owned so scenario-specific ordering stays visible.

+Session itself owns immutable, surface-valid log storage in every composition: it takes one lossless JSON snapshot of each candidate, validates the complete surface transition, deep-freezes the accepted record, and exposes the log through immutable array snapshots. The invariants plugin checks the remaining cross-record and cross-seam rules that Session does not own.
 
 Session-log assertions run during Cordis `internal/dispatch`, while `Session.append()` is resolving the `session/event` callback snapshot but before it pushes the candidate into the log. A valid transition is staged by exact event identity and applied to the live trace only when that same committed event reaches the plugin's contained post-commit listener. A later internal dispatch check can therefore veto without advancing either the log or the invariant trace, while ordinary `session/event` observer failures remain observe-only.

-- **a loop-built request is exactly what the log reconstructs** — a frozen request with a live `sessionId` is rebuilt through a fresh `Session` from the prefix before its in-flight `step/start`; later content belongs to the next request, and hand-built unfrozen one-shots are excluded. Frozen messages must match that derivation, while every other field matches folded `request/header*` events. The prepended check runs before ordinary short-circuiting stream listeners, but correctness comes from the sequence boundary rather than listener timing. See the [reconstructability RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-05-reconstructable-requests.md).
+- **a loop-built request is exactly what the log reconstructs** — a frozen request with a live `sessionId` (the loop-built marker; hand-built one-shots like compaction's summarize are unfrozen and skipped) must carry frozen `messages` deep-equal to the derivation over the log prefix strictly before the in-flight step's `step/start` (rebuilt through a FRESH `Session`, so the live cache cannot vouch for itself — and boundary-correct: content logged after `step/start` legitimately belongs to the next request), and every non-content field must equal the latest logged `request/header` (see [the reconstructability RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-05-reconstructable-requests.md)). Registered with `prepend: true` so a short-circuiting `llm/stream` listener (the replay adapter) cannot silence it; prepend orders it against append-registered listeners only — correctness rests on the seq-bounded rebuild, never listener timing.
 
 On any violation it throws `InvariantError` (`code: 'INVARIANT'`).

-A replay LLM plugin for keyless snapshot tests.

+A replay LLM plugin for keyless snapshot tests. It yields model streams reconstructed from a recorded **session JSONL** fixture, so a test can boot the real agent against a fixed model transcript with no API key. With `providers` configured it registers a replay-only adapter whose catalog is visible to clients such as ACP editors; without `providers` it installs the catch-all `llm/stream` waterfall used by tests that do not need discovery.
 
 Its consumer is the ACP snapshot harness in `examples/acp-agent`, which loads this plugin (via `cordis.snapshot.yml`) in place of a real LLM adapter. The package exists so its derive/parse/replay logic falls under the per-file 100% coverage gate on `packages/*/src` (the same logic, while it lived under `examples/`, was outside the gate).

 ## Exports
 
-- `installLlmReplay(ctx, config)` — install the `llm/stream` listener; returns the disposer (HMR safety). Use this in tests to drive replay without the Loader or env vars.
+- `installLlmReplay(ctx, config)` — install the configured replay adapter or catch-all `llm/stream` listener; returns the disposer (HMR safety). Use this in tests to drive replay without the Loader or env vars.
 - `loadSessionScripts(config)` — resolve the ordered `SessionScript[]` (primary + children) for a scenario, ready to bind to live sessions in first-call order.
 - `loadReplayScript(config)` — resolve the `ReplayEntry[]` for the PRIMARY session only (sidecar override if present, else derived from the JSONL; fail-loud if the fixture is missing).
 - `deriveReplayScript(events)` / `parseSessionLog(text)` / `parseSessionHeader(text)` — the pure helpers that turn a recorded session log into a script and read its header `id`/`createdAt`. A derived group must end in a `finish` chunk; a group without one is the fingerprint of a thrown `stream()` and must instead be expressed via an override sidecar.
-- Types `ReplayEntry` / `SessionScript` / `ReplayConfig` / `Config`.

 ## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
 
-- **Only the unbuilt tsx/Loader path is exercised** — built-bin artifacts remain the responsibility of their separate e2e smokes.
+- **Built mode requires a prior build** — the config must also resolve every named package upward through `examples/node_modules`.
 - **Captured stdout and stderr are unbounded** — a runaway child can consume memory until the deadline kills it.
 - **Timeout kills only the direct child** — a process tree spawned by a faulty fixture can outlive the smoke and needs external cleanup.

-Forward and reverse indexes route every event, prompt, cancel, and approval to one session. Each session permits one in-flight prompt; teardown drains all sessions in parallel. See the [multi-session RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/feature/2026-06-14-acp-multi-session.md).

Each session permits one in-flight prompt; teardown drains all sessions in parallel. See the [multi-session RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/feature/2026-06-14-acp-multi-session.md).
 
 ## Session config options
 
-When `ctx.permission` is composed, the bridge advertises one `permission` select in `session/new` and `session/load`. Options come from the deployment's preset table; the current value comes from the session fold, with switch-away-only `custom` for unmatched knobs. `session/set_config_option` accepts advertised presets and writes both sandbox-mode and approval-policy events through `PermissionService.set()`. Open-turn switches append immediately; idle switches overlay responses and anchor at the next `agent/prompt-submit`, before request assembly. A crash before anchoring restores the durable fold. See the [sandbox RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/feature/2026-07-06-sandbox.md), [`dsh-permission`](../permission/README.md), and [protocol matrix](acp-feature-support.md#6-session-config-options).
+The bridge advertises a `model`-category select in `session/new` and `session/load` when the session has a complete target whose provider is registered. Values encode the complete provider/model pair, are grouped by provider when more than one group is available, and come from `ctx.llm.listProviders()` / `listModels()`. The configured or last-requested model is added when absent because catalogs are advisory and private adapters may accept unlisted ids. A selection changes only that ACP session. Agent-scoped prompt assembly snapshots the selected pair for one step, supplies matching `{{provider}}` / `{{model}}` variables, and the `agent/request` waterfall applies the same pair; a concurrent selection therefore takes effect on the next step instead of splitting prompt text from routing. The resulting request header is the durable record restored by `session/load`; a selection never used by a request remains in-memory only.

 ## 6. Session modes / config options / models
 
-Config options ✅ (the [sandbox RFC § Per-session mode switching](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/feature/2026-07-06-sandbox.md)): when `ctx.permission` is composed, the bridge advertises one `permission` select whose values come from the deployment preset table and whose current value derives from the session log; `session/set_config_option` switches the preset end to end, with idle switches anchoring at the next `agent/prompt-submit` inside its open turn. Session modes stay deliberately unmodeled because config options replace them in ACP v2. Runtime model selection is still not modeled — the harness fixes the model per bridge via `AcpConfig.model` (both reference adapters ship a model selector).
+Config options ✅: the bridge advertises a `model` select from the advisory LLM provider/model catalog, preserving each provider/model pair in an opaque value and grouping multiple providers. A selected pair is isolated to one session, snapshotted with the prompt for each step, applied through `agent/request`, and restored from the logged request header on load. When `ctx.permission` is composed, the bridge also advertises one `permission` select whose values come from the deployment preset table and whose current value derives from the session log; idle permission switches anchor at the next `agent/prompt-submit` inside its open turn. Session modes stay deliberately unmodeled because config options replace them in ACP v2.

 # @deepseek-ai/dsh-jsonrpc
 
-Stdio JSON-RPC plugin for out-of-process SDK clients such as Python `deepseek_harness`. [`HarnessSdkServer`](src/server.ts) handles `initialize` → `session/prompt` → `shutdown` plus session and subagent notifications over [`JsonRpcLineTransport`](src/transport.ts). This package owns the protocol; [`jsonrpc-agent`](../../examples/jsonrpc-demo/README.md) boots the external `cordis.yml` that chooses the surrounding runtime. See the [single-executable RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-10-single-file-executable-sdk-runtime-distribution.md) for the distribution design.
+The `jsonrpc` plugin serves newline-delimited JSON-RPC over stdio so out-of-process SDK clients can drive harness agents. [`HarnessSdkServer`](src/server.ts) owns the protocol methods and notifications; [`jsonrpc-demo`](../../examples/jsonrpc-demo/README.md) supplies the surrounding `cordis.yml` application.
 
 ## Wiring
 
-`inject: ['agents']`. The server gets or creates one agent per `sessionId` on `session/prompt` and demuxes `subagent/end` through the registry. If `initialize.model` lacks a registered adapter, it mounts `dsh-llm-deepseek` using `$DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` and `$DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL`; a config-registered adapter wins. Persistence, tools, and other adapters come from the surrounding `cordis.yml`.
+`inject: ['agents']`. The server gets or creates one agent per `sessionId`. It forwards subagent completions only when the service-snapshotted lifecycle `local` flag is true; provider names, child ids, and durable lineage never establish locality. A registered adapter wins, an unowned `deepseek` route mounts `dsh-llm-deepseek`, and any other unowned provider fails initialization. Other capabilities come from the surrounding `cordis.yml`.
 
 ## Config
 
-No `cordis.yml` keys. `JsonRpcConfig.input`, `output`, and `exit` are test-only runtime seams; production uses process stdio and `process.exit`.
+There are no `cordis.yml` keys. `JsonRpcConfig.input`, `output`, and `exit` are runtime-only transport seams; production uses process stdio and `process.exit`.
 
 ## stdout is the protocol
 
-stdout carries only JSON-RPC frames. The loading config must omit stdout loggers; diagnostics go to stderr.
+Stdout carries only JSON-RPC frames. The deployment must not compose a stdout logger; diagnostics belong on stderr.
 
 ## Shutdown and exit semantics
 
-A `shutdown` request flushes its response, disposes the plugin fiber, then exits 0. Disposal idempotently shuts down every SDK-created agent to quiescence, detaches subscriptions, and closes the transport. Bare fiber disposal only stops serving; it does not exit. The app bin owns root disposal for stdin EOF (0), SIGTERM (0), and SIGINT (130).
+The plugin answers `shutdown`, disposes SDK-owned agents and subscriptions to quiescence, closes the transport, then exits with code 0. EOF and signal exits belong to the app bin, which disposes the root context. Unloading only this plugin stops serving without exiting the process.
 
 ## Wire notes
 
-`initialize.serverInfo.name` is the wire-stable `deepseek-harness-sdk-runtime`. Each session permits one in-flight prompt; overlap fails immediately, other sessions remain independent, and the session is reusable after settlement. Persistence roots and deployment persona remain in `cordis.yml`.

+- **One configured session receives stdin** — the session/event renderer can print output from any session, but input lines always drive the configured `sessionId` rather than routing by the visible label.
 - **Terminal questions are text-only and sequential** — the provider queues asks, supports option labels plus custom text, and has no richer UI shapes such as file pickers or diff previews.
 - **Closed stdin ends the terminal channel** — EOF rejects active or queued questions and exits after submitted work reaches idle; there is no reconnect path for a long-lived process.

 `dsh-brand` is the canonical case: it owns ONLY the `Branded<B>` helper, so a capability package can brand the ids it owns (`dsh-tasks`'s `TaskId`, `dsh-session`'s `SessionId`, …) by depending on `dsh-brand` alone, without pulling in an unrelated package just to reach `Branded`.
 
+`dsh-home` gives every package the same configurable Harness home without assigning that cross-cutting fact to bash, skills, or a composition bundle. It resolves an explicit value before `$DSH_HOME`, falls back to `~/.dsh`, and returns an absolute path without caching, creating, or mutating anything.

 `dsh-timeout` follows the same shape for the timeout family: `dsh-bash` and `dsh-web-fetch-local` each fuse a caller's cancellation with a deadline and later classify "timed out" vs "cancelled" by depending on `dsh-timeout` alone. It deliberately owns only the timing/classification half — the *termination* (SIGKILL a process group, tear down a fetch socket) stays in each capability, because no shared layer can own every capability's kill (see [the timeout-library RFC](../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-06-timeout-deadline-library.md)).
+
+`dsh-retention` is the same split for bounded tool output: a tool (`glob`/`grep`/`bash`/`web_fetch`/`web_search`) feeds items or text into a retainer and gets back what it kept and exactly what it omitted — while grouping, exit codes, provider errors, and recovery prose stay tool-owned. It deliberately owns only the retention mechanic; `truncated` is a budget fact, never an "incomplete inspection" state (see [the retention-library RFC](../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-06-tool-result-retention-library.md)).

+# @deepseek-ai/dsh-home
+
+`@deepseek-ai/dsh-home` is the single owner of DeepSeek Harness home-directory resolution. `resolveDshHome(configured?)` returns an absolute path using this precedence:
+
+1. The explicit `configured` path.
+2. The `DSH_HOME` environment variable.
+3. The `.dsh` directory under the current user's home directory.
+
+The resolver reads its inputs at call time. It does not cache a result, create the directory, or mutate `process.env`; consumers keep ownership of their own configuration fields and pass the configured value when resolving the shared home.
+
+## Model Experience
+
+Indirectly, through `dsh-tool-bash`, which exposes the resolved path to model bash as `DSH_HOME` without adding a prompt section.
+
+## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
+
+- **Resolution only** — the resolver makes a path absolute but does not create it, check access, or canonicalize symlinks; each consumer owns those filesystem decisions.

+Shared filesystem path helpers for DeepSeek Harness user data.
+
+## DSH home
+
+`DSH_HOME_DIR_NAME` owns the default user-data directory name: `.dsh`.
+
+`defaultDshHome()` returns the default DeepSeek Harness home by joining the operating-system home directory with `.dsh`, using Node's platform path rules.
+
+`expandHomePath()` expands `~`, `~/...`, and Windows-style `~\...` prefixes against the operating-system home directory. It leaves non-tilde paths and `~user/...` untouched.
+
+This package is intentionally small and harness-dep-free so product packages can share user-data path conventions without depending on one another.
+
+## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
+
+- **Expansion is deliberately narrow** — only bare `~`, `~/...`, and `~\...` use the current operating-system home; named-user forms such as `~alice/...`, environment variables, and shell expressions remain unchanged.
+- **Helpers do not touch the filesystem** — callers still own directory creation, existence checks, permissions, and trust policy for the resulting path.

+# dsh-retention
+
+A dependency-light **retention** library: bounded model-facing output for tools that must cap how much context they return. A caller feeds items or text chunks into a bounded object, then gets the retained content plus exact omission metadata.
+
+The library owns **only** the mechanical question *"what did we keep, and what did we omit?"*. Tool-specific code keeps its business semantics: file grouping, line numbering, exit codes, provider error states, per-line preview truncation, spill files, and the model-facing prose. This is the boundary the [RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-06-tool-result-retention-library.md) draws.

+It is a **library, not a service or plugin**: no `ctx`, registers nothing, emits no events. The only state is per-retainer (one accumulation), never cross-call. Tool packages import it directly.
+
+## Surface
+
+```ts
+import {
+  ItemRetainer, TextRetainer,
+  describeOmitted, formatRetentionNotice,
+} from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-retention'
+import type {
+  Omitted, PushDecision, RetainedItems, RetainedText,
+  ItemRetentionStrategy, TextRetentionStrategy, RetentionNotice,
+} from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-retention'
+```
+
+| Export | Role |
+|---|---|
+| `ItemRetainer<T>` | Bounds ordered logical units (paths, grep matches, sources). `head` only in v1. `push()` → `PushDecision`; `finish()` → `RetainedItems<T>`. |
+| `TextRetainer` | Bounds a byte-oriented text stream. `head` / `tail` / `headTail`, UTF-8 boundaries preserved at `finish()`. `push()` → `PushDecision`; `finish()` → `RetainedText`. |
+| `describeOmitted(omitted, unit)` | Standardized omission clause (`exact` prints a count; `unknown` does not). |
+| `formatRetentionNotice(notice, recovery)` | Joins the standardized omission clause with the tool's own recovery guidance. |
+| `Omitted` | `none` / `exact` / `unknown` — how much was omitted. |
+| `PushDecision` | `{ kept, truncated }` — the per-push retention result. |
+
+## Resource Modes
+
+The two retainers are separate names, not one generic collector, because they differ in **resource model**.
+
+- **`ItemRetainer` bounds ordered logical units.** A search tool can collect a full result set for spill-file recovery while retaining only the first `maxItems` for the model-facing preview. The omission count is exact because the caller keeps feeding every observed item.
+- **`TextRetainer` bounds byte-oriented text.** `head`, `tail`, and `headTail` preserve UTF-8 boundaries at `finish()`; `headTail` is the shape `dsh-spill-policy` uses to build a bounded preview around a spill-file notice.
+
+## `truncated` is a budget fact, never "incomplete"
+
+`truncated` means *the retainer omitted otherwise-available content because of a budget*. It does **not** mean the upstream was incomplete. Permission failures, skipped binary files, provider partial failures, unreadable candidates, and invalid UTF-8 stay in tool-domain fields — never folded into `truncated`. Conflating the two is the bug this library's naming most invites; keep them separate.
+
+## Bytes, not characters
+
+Text caps and `omittedBytes` count **bytes**, for process/body safety (a child's pipe and an HTTP body are byte streams). A chunk that straddles a codepoint is handled: `finish()` trims a partial codepoint at each cut so the returned text never introduces a replacement char at the boundary, and the two sides are decoded separately so a codepoint is never reconstructed across the omitted middle. Character- or line-level preview budgets are a separate, tool-owned concern.
+
+## Tool mappings
+
+Every current retention consumer maps to the library below. A broad migration is out of scope for the library's first landing — these are the intended shapes.
+
+| Tool | Retainer & strategy | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `glob` | `ItemRetainer<FsGlobEntry>`, `head` | Collect the full sorted path list for a spill file while retaining the first page inline. Path mapping, skipped candidates, and `incomplete` stay outside. |
+| `grep` | `ItemRetainer<FlatGrepMatch>`, `head` | Collect matches for a spill file while retaining the first page inline. Per-match preview truncation, grouping, sorting, and `incomplete` stay outside. |
+| `bash` | `TextRetainer`, `tail` or `headTail` | Executor still owns spill files, exit status, signal, timeout, and background tasks. |
+| `web_fetch` | `TextRetainer`, `head` or `headTail` | Provider/resource caps stay provider facts; the retainer supplies only retained text and omission metadata. |
+| `web_search` | `ItemRetainer<WebSearchSource>`, `head` | Standardizes the "sources capped" notice when providers return more sources than the model-facing result should include. |
+
+`read` is **intentionally out of scope for v1.** Its `read-render` helper owns a file-specific pagination contract — `offset`/`limit`, line numbers, `totalLines`, offset-out-of-range errors, per-line preview truncation, a byte cap over the selected window — which is a line-window renderer, not generic retention. A single `Omitted` count cannot represent both sides of a line window.
+
+## Usage shape
+
+```ts ignore-check
+// glob: keep the first page inline while still collecting the full list for spill.
+const retainer = new ItemRetainer<FsGlobEntry>({ kind: 'head', maxItems: globMaxResults })
+const allEntries: FsGlobEntry[] = []
+for await (const entry of candidates) {
+  allEntries.push(entry)
+  retainer.push(entry)
+}
+const { items, truncated, omitted } = retainer.finish()
+
+// bash: keep a head + tail, read to process exit.
+const out = new TextRetainer({ kind: 'headTail', headBytes: headCap, tailBytes: tailCap })
+child.stdout.on('data', (chunk: Buffer) => { out.push(chunk) })
+const { text, omittedBytes } = out.finish()
+
+// A footer: the library standardizes the omission clause; the tool owns recovery words.
+const footer = formatRetentionNotice(
+  { scope: 'grep', strategy: 'head', unit: 'items', limit: grepMaxMatches, kept: items.length, omitted },
+  ({ kept }) => `Results capped at ${kept}. Narrow the pattern, path, or include to see more.`,
+)
+```
+
+## Model Experience
+
+Indirectly, through tool consumers that render retained content and omission metadata.
+
+## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
+
+- **Item retention supports `head` only** — tail, head/tail, pagination, grouping, and provider-completeness semantics remain tool-owned.
+- **Text retention is byte-oriented** — line and character windows such as `read` pagination require a separate renderer, and a cut may discard partial UTF-8 boundary bytes to keep returned text valid.

+/**
+ * A dependency-light **retention** library: bounded model-facing output for
+ * tools that must cap how much context they return. A caller feeds items or
+ * text chunks into a bounded object, then gets the retained content plus exact
+ * omission metadata ({@link RetainedItems} / {@link RetainedText}).
+ *
+ * The library owns ONLY the mechanical question "what did we keep, what did we
+ * omit?". Tool-specific code still owns
+ * business semantics: file grouping, line numbering, exit codes, provider error
+ * states, per-line preview truncation, spill files, and the model-facing prose.
+ * In particular {@link RetainedText.truncated}/{@link RetainedItems.truncated}
+ * means "the retainer omitted otherwise-available content because of a budget" —
+ * NOT "the upstream was incomplete". Permission failures, skipped binaries,
+ * provider partial failures, and unreadable candidates stay in tool-domain
+ * fields, never folded into `truncated`.
+ *
+ * This is deliberately a library, not a cordis service or plugin: it takes no
+ * `ctx`, registers nothing, and emits no events. The two retainers are the only
+ * stateful pieces and their state is per-instance (one accumulation), never
+ * cross-call. Tool packages import it directly when they need bounded output.
+ *
+ * The two retainers differ in resource model, which is why they are two names
+ * rather than one generic collector:
+ * - {@link ItemRetainer} bounds ordered logical units (paths, grep matches,
+ *   search sources). `head` retention only in v1.
+ * - {@link TextRetainer} bounds byte-oriented text streams (bash stdout/stderr,

 The signal only *notifies* — the caller MUST attach its own termination (`d.signal.addEventListener('abort', kill)`, or hand `d.signal` to `fetch`). Racing a promise against a timer would resolve the tool-call while the child process or socket leaks on; handing out a signal forces a real termination path to exist.

 const DESCRIPTION = `Run a JavaScript workflow script that orchestrates subagents at scale.

-The workflow's identity rides the \`meta\` parameter as JSON: required \`name\` (short kebab-case) and \`description\` strings, optional \`whenToUse\` string and \`phases\` array (\`{title, detail?, model?}\`). The \`script\` parameter is the plain JavaScript body ONLY (NOT TypeScript, and NO \`export const meta\` statement — meta is a parameter, not code), running with top-level await; end with \`return <value>\` — the value must be JSON-serializable and is this tool's result.

 Script-body hooks:
-- \`agent(prompt, opts?): Promise<any>\` — run one subagent to completion. Without \`opts.schema\` it resolves to the child's final text; with \`opts.schema\` (an object-rooted JSON Schema using ONLY type/properties/required/additionalProperties/items/enum/const — no oneOf/pattern/format/numeric bounds) it resolves to the validated object. Resolves \`null\` when the child fails (filter with \`.filter(Boolean)\`). Other opts: \`label\` (display), \`phase\` (progress group), \`model\` (override). Anything else (\`effort\`/\`isolation\`/\`agentType\`) is rejected loudly.

 - \`parallel(thunks): Promise<any[]>\` — run zero-argument functions concurrently and await ALL of them (a barrier; use only when a stage genuinely needs every prior result together). A throwing thunk resolves to \`null\`.

 ## Zero-config design
 
-The runtime binary always demands an explicit config (`$DSH_CORDIS_CONFIG`, or a config path as an argv positional argument) and exits loudly without one — that hard semantic is part of the runtime's design and this package does not soften it. The bin (`dsh-jsonrpc-agent`) boots only the plugins the config lists; the serving surface (the stdio JSON-RPC server) is itself one of its entries (`@deepseek-ai/dsh-jsonrpc`), and without it the booted agent has no channel to the outside. This package checks in `runtime/cordis.yml` with the JSON-RPC serving entry, agent core, a preloaded DeepSeek adapter, JSONL persistence, and local bash. The adapter reads `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` and `DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL`, while persistence and bash use `DSH_SESSION_ROOT` and `DSH_CWD` with manual-run fallbacks. When the caller uses no explicit config channel, the `deepseek_harness` client injects that file's path via `DSH_CORDIS_CONFIG` (injection conditions: [sdk README](../sdk/README.md)). Zero-config is thus an explicit, visible parameter pass in the wrapper, not a hidden fallback in the runtime.

+`provider` 用于选择当前 Cordis 组合已注册的提供方路由；`model` 是该适配器解析的模型 ID。内置默认组合注册 `deepseek`。自定义组合可以挂载 `llm-pi-ai`，在其中配置各提供方的凭据与端点，再选择 pi-ai 已安装目录中的任意提供方/模型组合。

 同样的行为也可以通过 `DSH_CORDIS_CONFIG` 为运行时子进程选定。注入逻辑位于 `HarnessClient.start()`，因此底层客户端的默认启动也具有此行为：当启动解析到内置运行时，且 `cordis` 与非空的 `DSH_CORDIS_CONFIG` 均未设置时（运行时把空值视为缺省，注入检查与之一致），使用内置的默认配置；显式给出 `runtime_bin`、`bridge_bin` 或 `launch_args_override` 则完全禁用注入。运行时载体（生产用 exe 与仅限开发的 `node` 闭包）及其获取方式见 [sdk-runtime README](../sdk-runtime/README.md)。

+ * Generate (and verify) the website API reference under `website/zh-CN/api/`.

+ * The website's API section is FULLY GENERATED from source — never hand-edit
+ * it. The hand-written hub `api/index.md` sits OUTSIDE the generated subdirs
+ * (`api/cordis/`, `api/harness/`), so the orphan sweep never touches it. Two tiers:
+ *
+ * - `api/cordis/*` — the vendored cordis framework surface (Context, Events,
+ *   Fiber, Registry, Service), driven by the CORDIS_PAGES manifest below.
+ *   Members come from the real class declarations and the `declare module
+ *   './context.ts'` interface merges (the typed `ctx.*` surface a plugin
+ *   author actually sees).
+ * - `api/harness/*` — one page per `ctx.<key>` harness service (walked from
+ *   every `declare module 'cordis'` Context merge under `packages/<group>/<pkg>/src`),
+ *   plus `events.md` listing every harness event grouped by scope.
+ *
+ * Prose comes from the JSDoc; the generator HARD-ERRORS (aggregated) when a
+ * rendered member lacks a summary, a parameter lacks `@param`, or a non-void
+ * annotated return lacks `@returns` — so a vendor sync or a new service method
+ * cannot land undocumented without CI going red. Pages are English (the
+ * planned zh translation flow arrives separately; see docs/i18n/README.md).
+ *
+ * Signature fences use the ` ```ts website-api ` info string: doc-typecheck
+ * only processes its known info strings, so these bare (non-compilable)
+ * signature fragments are skipped there, while VitePress still highlights the
+ * `ts` token. The sidebar fragment `website/.vitepress/config/api-sidebar.json`
+ * is generated alongside so navigation can never drift from the page set.
+ *
+ *   `tsx scripts/gen-website-api.ts`          → write pages + sidebar

+/**
+ * Doc-sync gate: verify the fenced ```yaml examples in the website against
+ * the loader and the workspace truth. A `cordis.yml` example that names a
+ * plugin that does not exist, or passes a config key the plugin never
+ * declared, is worse than no example — it fails silently for the reader.
+ *
+ * Scope: `website/zh-CN/**​/*.md`, EXCLUDING `website/zh-CN/api/**` (the api
+ * pages are generator-owned — their yaml examples are verified at generation
+ * time by a later stream, not re-checked here). Blocks opt out with
+ * ` ```yaml ignore-check ` (same philosophy as doc-typecheck's opt-out: the
+ * count is reported, an unchecked block is a visible decision, not a silent
+ * hole — placeholder plugin names in tutorials are the legitimate case).
+ *
+ * Each checked block is parsed with the loader's REAL schema —
+ * `JSON_SCHEMA` extended with the `!!js` scalar type exactly as
+ * vendor/include/src/index.ts declares it — so `!!js process.env.X` parses
+ * here iff it parses at runtime. Then:
+ *
+ * - Root is an ARRAY → a cordis.yml entry list. Every item must be a mapping
+ *   with a string `name` and only the keys `EntryOptions` declares
+ *   (vendor/loader/src/config/entry.ts plus the isolate.ts merge:
+ *   id, name, config, group, disabled, inject, intercept, isolate).
+ *   - `./` / `../` names are illustrative local plugins — existence is not
+ *     checkable, skip. `group:*` names are loader built-ins; their `config`
+ *     is itself an entry list and is recursed into.
+ *   - Any other name must be a real workspace package (`packages/*​/*` and
+ *     `vendor/*` package.json names).
+ *   - For `@deepseek-ai/dsh-*` names the config-catalog generator is the
+ *     truth: kind `config` → the yaml `config`'s top-level keys must be
+ *     properties of the declared config type (member names of the first
+ *     catalog paste ∪ top-level segments of the runtime schema keys);
+ *     config-free kinds → a non-empty `config` mapping is a violation;
+ *     seam/library kinds → name existence only (loading one directly is
+ *     dubious, but that is a docs-prose concern, not this gate's).
+ * - Root is a MAPPING or scalar → a fragment (e.g. a bare `config:` excerpt):
+ *   syntax check only.
+ *
+ * This is a checker, not a fixer: it reports `file:line message` and exits 1.
+ *

 4. **Vendored TypeScript source internal specifiers**: changed local relative imports/exports from upstream's specifier shape to explicit `.ts` specifiers so TypeScript rewrites emitted JS to `.js` while declarations keep explicit, NodeNext-safe `.ts` specifiers. This includes `loader/src/config/isolate.ts` using `declare module './entry.ts'`.
 5. **`schemastery/tsdown.config.ts` and `logger-console/tsdown.config.ts`**: ours, not upstream files — per-package build-shape overrides (dual ESM+CJS output; separate node/browser entries) for the repo-root tsdown build. They read the JS emitted under `lib/types` and then write the publish runtime entries under `lib/`. Like the regenerated tsconfigs, they are not part of the upstream sync surface.
 6. **`cordis/src/fiber.ts` lifecycle hardening**: locally closes three reentrant disposal gaps. 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.

+# Context
+
+The context is the core cordis object: every service, event, and lifecycle API is reached through `ctx`. Event methods (`ctx.on`, `ctx.emit`, …) are documented on [Events](./events.md); `ctx.effect` and `ctx.fiber` on [Fiber](./fiber.md); `ctx.plugin` and `ctx.inject` on [Registry](./registry.md).
+
+Root and child dependency containers for Cordis plugins.
+A context is a proxy: normal property reads go through the service resolver, while `extend()`, `isolate()`, and `intercept()` create scoped child contexts without mutating their parent.
+
+[Source](https://github.com/deepseek-harness/deepseek-harness/blob/master/vendor/cordis/src/context.ts#L42)
+
+### ctx.extend(meta?)
+
+```ts website-api
+extend(meta = {}): this
+```
+
+Create a child context with extra metadata on top of the current scope.
+The child prototypally inherits every property of this context; own properties of `meta` shadow the inherited ones. The parent is not mutated.
+
+- `meta` — own properties (including symbol keys) to define on the child.
+
+**Returns** a child context inheriting from this one.
+
+[Source](https://github.com/deepseek-harness/deepseek-harness/blob/master/vendor/cordis/src/context.ts#L99)
+
+### ctx.isolate(name, label?)
+
+```ts website-api
+isolate(name: string, label?: symbol)
+```
+
+Create a child context with an independent service scope for `name`.
+Below the returned context, reads and writes of the service `name` resolve against the new label instead of the parent's, so a different implementation can be provided without affecting the parent scope. Passing the same `label` to two `isolate()` calls joins their scopes.
+
+- `name` — the service name to isolate.
+- `label` — scope label to join; defaults to a fresh unique symbol.
+
+**Returns** a child context whose `name` service resolves in the new scope.
+
+[Source](https://github.com/deepseek-harness/deepseek-harness/blob/master/vendor/cordis/src/context.ts#L121)
+
+### ctx.intercept(name, config)
+
+```ts website-api
+intercept<K extends InjectKey>(name: K, config: Context[K] extends { [symbols.config]: infer T } ? T : never): this
+intercept(name: string, config: any): this
+```
+
+Add service-specific intercept config for plugins started below this context.
+Plugins loaded under the returned context see `config` merged into the service's resolved config (ancestor entries first; see `Service[symbols.resolveConfig]`). The parent context is not affected.
+
+- `name` — the service name whose config to intercept.
+- `config` — the intercept config to merge for that service.
+
+**Returns** a child context carrying the additional intercept entry.
+
+[Source](https://github.com/deepseek-harness/deepseek-harness/blob/master/vendor/cordis/src/context.ts#L139)
+
+### ctx.root
+
+```ts website-api
+root: this
+```
+
+The root context of the application (every child context shares it). @experimental
+
+[Source](https://github.com/deepseek-harness/deepseek-harness/blob/master/vendor/cordis/src/context.ts#L22)
+
+### ctx.baseUrl
+
+```ts website-api
+baseUrl?: string
+```
+
+Base URL used to resolve relative plugin/module specifiers, if the runtime sets one.
+
+[Source](https://github.com/deepseek-harness/deepseek-harness/blob/master/vendor/cordis/src/context.ts#L24)
+
+### ctx.events
+
+```ts website-api
+events: EventsService
+```
+
+The event bus. Its methods are also mixed onto `ctx` (`ctx.on`, `ctx.emit`, ...).
+
+[Source](https://github.com/deepseek-harness/deepseek-harness/blob/master/vendor/cordis/src/context.ts#L26)
+
+### ctx.logger
+
+```ts website-api
+logger: LoggerService
+```
+
+The logging service. Call `ctx.logger(name)` for a named logger.
+
+[Source](https://github.com/deepseek-harness/deepseek-harness/blob/master/vendor/cordis/src/context.ts#L28)
+
+### ctx.reflect
+
+```ts website-api
+reflect: ReflectService
+```
+
+The reflection layer backing the context proxy (`ctx.get`, `ctx.provide`, ...).
+
+[Source](https://github.com/deepseek-harness/deepseek-harness/blob/master/vendor/cordis/src/context.ts#L30)
+
+### ctx.registry
+
+```ts website-api
+registry: RegistryService
+```
+
+The plugin registry. Its methods are mixed onto `ctx` (`ctx.plugin`, `ctx.inject`).
+
+[Source](https://github.com/deepseek-harness/deepseek-harness/blob/master/vendor/cordis/src/context.ts#L32)
+
+## Static members
+
+### Context.effect
+
+```ts website-api
+static readonly effect: unique symbol
+```
+
+Symbol key under which a disposer exposes its EffectMeta diagnostics tree.
+
+[Source](https://github.com/deepseek-harness/deepseek-harness/blob/master/vendor/cordis/src/context.ts#L44)
+
+### Context.filter
+
+```ts website-api
+static readonly filter: unique symbol
+```
+
+Symbol key for a context's listener filter, consulted on every event dispatch.
+
+[Source](https://github.com/deepseek-harness/deepseek-harness/blob/master/vendor/cordis/src/context.ts#L46)
+
+### Context.isolate
+
+```ts website-api
+static readonly isolate: unique symbol
+```
+
+Symbol key of the isolation map (see the `Context[symbols.isolate]` property).
+
+[Source](https://github.com/deepseek-harness/deepseek-harness/blob/master/vendor/cordis/src/context.ts#L48)
+
+### Context.intercept
+
+```ts website-api
+static readonly intercept: unique symbol
+```
+
+Symbol key of the intercept map (see the `Context[symbols.intercept]` property).
+
+[Source](https://github.com/deepseek-harness/deepseek-harness/blob/master/vendor/cordis/src/context.ts#L50)
+
+### Context.is(value)
+
+```ts website-api
+static is(value: any): value is Context
+```
+
+Returns true for Cordis context proxies and context prototypes.
+Works across realms and across multiple copies of cordis, because the brand is keyed by a global symbol rather than by `instanceof`.
+
+- `value` — the value to test.
+
+**Returns** `true` if `value` is a Cordis context, narrowing its type.
+
+[Source](https://github.com/deepseek-harness/deepseek-harness/blob/master/vendor/cordis/src/context.ts#L61)
+
+## Service store and mixins
+
+### ctx.get(name, strict?)
+
+```ts website-api
+get<K extends string & keyof this>(name: K, strict?: boolean): undefined | this[K]
+get(name: string, strict?: boolean): any
+```
+
+Read a service from the store without the inject requirement.
+
+- `name` — the service name.
+- `strict` — when `true` (default), only return implementations whose providing fiber is currently active.
+
+**Returns** the service value, or `undefined` when not (yet) provided.
+
+[Source](https://github.com/deepseek-harness/deepseek-harness/blob/master/vendor/cordis/src/reflect.ts#L16)
+
+### ctx.set(name, value)
+
+```ts website-api
+set<K extends string & keyof this>(name: K, value: undefined | this[K]): void
+set(name: string, value: any): void
+```
+
+Overwrite a provided service's value.
+Only the fiber that provided the service may set it; setting an unprovided name throws.
+
+- `name` — the service name.
+- `value` — the new service value.
+
+[Source](https://github.com/deepseek-harness/deepseek-harness/blob/master/vendor/cordis/src/reflect.ts#L28)
+
+### ctx.provide(name, value)
+
+```ts website-api
+provide<K extends string & keyof this>(name: K, value: undefined | this[K]): () => void
+provide(name: string, value?: any): () => void
+```
+
+Register a service implementation owned by the current fiber.
+The service becomes visible to dependents in the same isolation scope once the fiber is active; it is unregistered (waking dependents) when the returned disposer runs or the fiber unloads. Throws if the name is already provided in this scope or declared as an accessor.
+
+- `name` — the service name.
+- `value` — the service value.
+
+**Returns** a disposer that unregisters the service.
+
+[Source](https://github.com/deepseek-harness/deepseek-harness/blob/master/vendor/cordis/src/reflect.ts#L43)
+
+### ctx.accessor(name, options)
+
+```ts website-api
+accessor(name: string, options: Omit<Property.Accessor, 'type'>): void
+```
+
+Define a computed context property backed by get/set hooks.
+The accessor is removed when the current fiber unloads. Throws if the name is already declared.
+
+- `name` — the context property name.
+- `options` — the `get` hook and optional `set` hook.
+
+[Source](https://github.com/deepseek-harness/deepseek-harness/blob/master/vendor/cordis/src/reflect.ts#L55)
+
+### ctx.mixin(name, mixins)
+
+```ts website-api
+mixin<K extends string & keyof this>(name: K, mixins: (keyof this & keyof this[K])[] | Dict<string>): void
+mixin<T extends {}>(source: T, mixins: (keyof this & keyof T)[] | Dict<string>): void
+```
+
+Expose selected members of a service directly on `ctx`.
+Each mixed-in key becomes an accessor that forwards to the service (binding methods to it), so e.g. `ctx.on` forwards to `ctx.events.on`. Mixins are removed when the current fiber unloads.
+
+- `name` — the context property holding the source service.
+- `mixins` — keys to forward, or a source-key → ctx-key map.
+

+# Fiber
+
+A fiber is one loaded plugin instance: its lifecycle state, validated config, and registered effects. `ctx.fiber` is the current fiber; `ctx.effect()` delegates to it.
+
+### ctx.effect(execute, label?)
+
+```ts website-api
+effect(execute: () => SyncEffect, label?: string): Disposable<Promise<void>>
+effect(execute: () => Effect, label?: string): AsyncDisposable<Promise<void>>
+```
+
+Register a cleanup-aware effect on this fiber.
+`execute` runs immediately; the disposers it produces are collected and run (in reverse order) either when the returned disposer is called or when the fiber unloads, whichever comes first. Calling the disposer twice is a no-op. Throws `CordisError('INACTIVE_EFFECT')` if the fiber is already disposed, and `TypeError` if `execute` returns an invalid shape.
+
+- `execute` — the effect body; see `Effect` for accepted shapes.
+- `label` — effect label shown in `getEffects()` diagnostics.
+
+**Returns** a disposer that tears the effect down and settles once done.
+
+[Source](https://github.com/deepseek-harness/deepseek-harness/blob/master/vendor/cordis/src/fiber.ts#L419)
+
+### ctx.fiber

+[Source](https://github.com/deepseek-harness/deepseek-harness/blob/master/vendor/cordis/src/fiber.ts#L193)
+
+### fiber.store

+
+Snapshot of required service implementations while loaded; `undefined` otherwise.

+
+```ts website-api
+update(config: any, noSave = false)
+```
+
+Validate and apply new config, then restart the plugin.
+Runs the `internal/update` waterfall first, so update hooks (and HMR) can veto or replace the restart.
+
+- `config` — the new raw config; validated before anything restarts.
+- `noSave` — hint for persistence hooks not to write the change back.
+
+**Returns** nothing; the restart runs behind the `internal/update` waterfall.

+
+## Effect
+
+Effect body result accepted by `ctx.effect()` and plugin startup.

+
+## Disposable
+
+Function returned by an effect to release resources during disposal.

+Agent registry (`ctx.agents`): tracks live agents so UI, hook, and orchestrator plugins can find them without depending on the concrete loop package. Agent *creation* is provided by whichever plugin implements the AgentFactory (`@deepseek-ai/dsh-agent-loop`), registered via setFactory.

+```ts website-api
+setFactory(factory: AgentFactory): () => void

+
+Register the agent-creation factory (the loop calls this on construction, effect-scoped). A traced Cordis service is canonicalized to its concrete target; each create/resume call is then traced through that caller's context so ownership follows the caller without stacking proxy layers.

+### ctx.agents.register(agent)
+
+```ts website-api
+register(agent: Agent): () => void
+```
+
+Register a live agent. Throws if an agent with the same id is already registered. Emits `agent/created` on registration and `agent/disposed` when the calling fiber is disposed — both with the agent's scope carrier (`scopeTarget(agent, agent)`): the subject is the agent in hand, so the emits are scope-filtered regardless of which context invoked `register` (calling through `agent.ctx` scopes EFFECTS; dispatch scoping always requires passing the carrier). Returns the disposer.
+
+- `agent` — the already-constructed agent to record in the store.
+
+**Returns** the EXACT Cordis effect disposer (single-shot; a repeat call returns undefined without awaiting an in-flight teardown). Exact identity is load-bearing: a composite (generator) effect that owns a teardown ORDER — the agent factory's lifecycle chain — must yield THIS function so Cordis nests the unregistration at that yield position; yielding a wrapper would leave it disposing as a concurrent sibling on owner unload, unregistering the agent (and emitting `agent/disposed`) while its final turn is still draining.

+
+### ctx.agents.enter(agent, owner)
+
+```ts website-api
+enter(agent: Agent, owner: Agent | undefined): () => void
+```
+
+Insert an already-constructed agent without announcing it. This is the advanced ordered-lifecycle primitive used by the async agent factory: it first completes setup while the agent is unpublished, then assigns the returned detach closure into its pre-installed composite teardown before calling announce. Ordinary callers use register.
+
+- `agent` — the prepared, unpublished agent.
+- `owner` — live agent whose scoped context created this agent, or undefined for a top-level runtime root. This is runtime ownership, not the resumed session's durable parent lineage.
+
+**Returns** an idempotent closure that removes this exact entry and emits `agent/disposed` with listener failures contained. When called from a synchronous `agent/created` listener, removal and disposal wait until that creation dispatch unwinds.

+
+```ts website-api
+isOwnedBy(id: SessionId, owner: Agent): boolean
+```
+
+Test whether a live agent was created through one exact parent agent's scoped context. Runtime ownership is independent of durable session lineage and remains unambiguous when unrelated providers reuse an id.
+
+- `id` — the candidate child agent's shared agent/session id.
+- `owner` — the expected runtime creator agent.
+
+**Returns** true only while the exact child entry is live under that owner.

+
+```ts website-api
+roots(): Agent[]
+```
+
+All live top-level agents in registration order. A top-level agent was created without an owning agent context; durable session lineage does not affect this runtime relation, so a resumed fork may still be a root.

+```
+
+Ask the composed answerers to decide one readonly same-process request. The service borrows the request, agent, session, and live signal directly. The request requires an open turn because the audit pair must be enclosed by the durable log's commit/replay boundary; an idle ask rejects before appending anything. The answerer phase always produces an outcome: an aborted signal yields `'cancelled'`, a missing or throwing answerer yields `'unavailable'` (fail closed), and a rogue non-vocabulary return value is normalized to `'unavailable'`. A failure that prevents either audit append from committing still rejects because returning an unlogged decision would violate the pair. Session contains post-commit observer failures, so an authoritative append cannot reject the request or suppress its matching audit event.
+
+- `req` — the pending decision (agent, tool identity, reason, signal).
+
+**Returns** the closed outcome; `'allowed-once'` is the only grant.

+The session lifecycle began, once before the first turn. Use `agent.inject()` to seed model-facing context. This is a notification, not a veto; disposal requested by a lifecycle owner is rechecked before the driver starts.

+
+- `options` — the full request. A LOOP-built request arrives deep-frozen (mutation throws): its content is a pure function of the session log (the reconstructability RFC), so listeners read it, never rewrite it.

+# ctx.fs
+
+`FileSystem` (abstract seam) — provided by `@deepseek-ai/dsh-fs`.
+
+Abstract filesystem provider. Targets must preserve identity across aliases; reads expose regular UTF-8 text or typed errors, listings are stable and content-free, and mutations are atomic. Optional guards add stale protection without changing the unguarded provider contract.
+
+[Source](https://github.com/deepseek-harness/deepseek-harness/blob/master/packages/fs/fs/src/index.ts#L80)
+
+### ctx.fs.resolve(path, opts?)
+
+```ts website-api
+abstract resolve(path: string, opts?: { cwd?: string; signal?: AbortSignal }): Promise<FsTarget>
+```
+
+Resolve a model/plugin-supplied path into a stable FsTarget. May perform I/O (a remote/sandboxed backend may need a round-trip to map a path to a stable identity), hence async even though the local backend only normalizes + realpaths.
+
+- `path` — the path to resolve; relative paths resolve against `opts.cwd`.
+- `opts` — optional cwd override and cancellation signal.
+
+**Returns** the stable target; the same file yields the same `targetKey`.

+- `target` — the resolved target to stat.
+- `signal` — aborts the metadata round-trip.
+
+**Returns** metadata only, never content; undefined for an absent target.

+### ctx.fs.lstat(path, opts?, signal?)
+
+```ts website-api
+abstract lstat(path: string, opts?: { cwd?: string }, signal?: AbortSignal): Promise<FsPathInfo | undefined>
+```
+
+Return path metadata without following the final path component when it is a symbolic link. This is intentionally path-shaped, not target-shaped: resolve follows symlinks to produce the stable identity used by normal reads/writes, while `lstat` lets a consumer reject the path itself before that follow happens.
+`opts.cwd` follows resolve's cwd rules. `undefined` means the path is absent.
+
+- `path` — the path to inspect; relative paths resolve against `opts.cwd`.
+- `opts` — `cwd` overrides the backend's default base for relative paths.
+- `signal` — aborts the metadata round-trip.
+
+**Returns** metadata only, never content; undefined for an absent path.

+### ctx.fs.streamText(target, signal?)
+
+```ts website-api
+abstract streamText(target: FsTarget, signal?: AbortSignal): Promise<AsyncIterable<string>>
+```
+
+Stream the whole regular text file as decoded text chunks (same text semantics as readText, for large files). The backend owns cross-chunk UTF-8 decoding and binary rejection so the policy layer never touches raw bytes.
+
+- `target` — the resolved target to read.
+- `signal` — aborts the stream, including between chunks.

+
+### ctx.fs.listDir(target, signal?)
+
+```ts website-api
+abstract listDir(target: FsTarget, signal?: AbortSignal): Promise<FsDirEntry[]>
+```
+
+List direct children of a directory in stable name order. Returns resolved child targets plus cheap metadata only; never reads file contents.
+
+- `target` — the resolved directory target.
+- `signal` — aborts the listing.
+
+**Returns** one entry per direct child, in stable name order.

+
+```ts website-api
+abstract writeText(target: FsTarget, content: string, expected?: FsWriteIntent, signal?: AbortSignal): Promise<FsWriteOutcome>
+```
+
+Atomically create or replace UTF-8 text. `expected` guards intent and staleness; omission allows unconditional overwrite.
+
+- `target` — the resolved target to write.
+- `content` — the full new file content.
+- `expected` — the write intent guarding the write; omit for unconditional.
+- `signal` — aborts before the atomic rename takes effect.
+
+**Returns** the outcome, including the version the write produced.
+
+[Source](https://github.com/deepseek-harness/deepseek-harness/blob/master/packages/fs/fs/src/index.ts#L157)
+
+### ctx.fs.editText(target, edit, expected?, signal?)
+
+```ts website-api
+abstract editText(target: FsTarget, edit: FsEditRequest, expected?: { version: FsVersion }, signal?: AbortSignal): Promise<FsEditOutcome>
+```
+

+
+`SessionStore` — provided by `@deepseek-ai/dsh-session`.
+
+In-memory session store (`ctx.sessions`).
+Persistence is intentionally not implemented here — persistence plugins subscribe to `session/event` and flush on `session/flush` / dispose.
+
+[Source](https://github.com/deepseek-harness/deepseek-harness/blob/master/packages/core/session/src/index.ts#L585)
+
+### ctx.sessions.create(id?, options?)
+
+```ts website-api
+create(id?: SessionId, options?: CreateSessionOptions): Session
+```
+
+Create a session owned by the calling fiber: disposing that fiber stops event notification and removes the session from the store. `options.seed` populates the session with a copy of those events (replay/fork); `options.meta` attaches creation metadata (validated absolute `cwd`, `parentSession` lineage) as the immutable SessionHeader (the store fills `version`/`id`/`createdAt`).
+For an agent whose session must be torn down IN ORDER with its loop (so the loop's final flush is captured before the store attachment ends), do NOT use this — fold the session lifecycle into the agent's own effect via prepare + enter + announce (see `dsh-agent-loop`'s creation transaction).
+
+- `id` — the session id; omitted, the store mints `session-<n>`.
+- `options` — seed events and/or creation metadata for the header.
+
+**Returns** the live session, already entered and announced.

+
+### ctx.sessions.prepare(id?, options?)
+
+```ts website-api
+prepare(id?: SessionId, options?: CreateSessionOptions): Session
+```
+
+Build a session WITHOUT entering it into the store — validate the id/cwd and construct the Session (with its immutable SessionHeader). Pairs with enter + announce: a caller that owns a composite `ctx.effect` (the agent factory) folds the session lifecycle into that ONE effect so a fiber unload tears the session + agent down as a single ORDERED chain rather than as racing sibling effects — which would remove the publication hooks before the loop's closing `session/flush`, dropping the closing events.
+
+- `id` — the session id; omitted, the store mints `session-<n>`.
+- `options` — seed events and/or creation metadata for the header.
+
+**Returns** the constructed session, NOT yet in the store.

+
+### ctx.sessions.enter(session)
+
+```ts website-api
+enter(session: Session): () => void
+```
+
+Enter a prepared session into the store: install the module-private append publication hooks and add it to the store. Returns the DETACH disposer (hooks + store removal). Does NOT emit `session/created` — the caller yields this disposer inside its effect and THEN calls announce, so a throwing `session/created` listener rolls the attach back instead of leaking it.
+Re-checks the id for a duplicate: `prepare` and `enter` are public cross-package primitives and a caller may interleave arbitrary work (or another create) between them, so a stale prepared session must NOT overwrite a live store entry of the same id — its detach disposer would later delete the REAL session. The create convenience and the agent factory call the two back-to-back so they never trip this, but the public seam cannot assume that.
+
+- `session` — a `prepare`d session not yet in the store.
+
+**Returns** the detach disposer (publication hooks + store removal). When called from a synchronous `session/created` listener, removal and disposal wait until that creation dispatch unwinds.

+announce(session: Session): void
+```
+
+Emit `session/created` exactly once for an entered session (with the carrier enter captured). Separate from enter so the caller can yield the detach disposer first (rollback safety — see enter).

+
+### ctx.sessions.flush(session)
+
+```ts website-api
+async flush(session: Session): Promise<void>
+```
+
+Dispatch the awaited `session/flush` durability checkpoint for `session`, with the carrier captured at enter. THE flush entry point: the store owns the carrier, so callers (the loop's turn-end checkpoint, idle injection, teardown drains) must come through here rather than dispatch a raw `ctx.parallel('session/flush', …)` — one owner, one spelling, and the scoped-dispatch invariant can pin it.
+
+- `session` — the session whose buffered events must reach durable storage.
+
+**Returns** resolves when every flush listener has settled; after all settle, rejects with the first registered listener failure if any listener failed.

+Abstract spill storage service. Subclass, implement saveText, and load the subclass as a plugin — it registers as `ctx.spillStore` (one implementation per context; loading a second throws, cordis' standard duplicate-service behavior).
+Semantics every implementation must honor:
+- saveText persists the FULL `content` verbatim and returns an opaque locator, exact byte length, and model-facing retrieval guidance.
+- Storage is scoped by the request's SaveTextSpill.owner session; the backend chooses a private (not world-readable) location and a collision-free name derived from — never equal to — the caller's `suggestedName`.
+- `saveText` REJECTS on a real storage failure (permissions, ENOSPC, backend unavailable); the caller decides how to degrade (the spill policy treats a rejection as best-effort and keeps the inline result).

+# 可组合性与插件系统
+
+## 组合
+
+编程的本质就是组合。将小的构建块拼装为更大的系统，再将大系统作为块继续拼装——这是从函数到模块到微服务一脉相承的思想。
+
+组合可以分为两种：
+
+- **静态组合**：编译期确定的组合，例如函数调用、模块导入。
+- **动态组合**：运行时确定的组合，例如热更新、插件加载/卸载。
+
+静态组合是逻辑的组合；动态组合为可组合性引入了时间和空间两个新维度。
+
+## 三种可组合性
+
+| 维度 | 定义 | 对应问题 |
+|------|------|----------|
+| **逻辑可组合性** (Logical) | 功能能否被任意拆分和组装 | 接口设计是否正交 |
+| **时间可组合性** (Temporal) | 能否灵活、安全地控制组合的运行时序 | 能否热加载/卸载而不泄漏 |
+| **空间可组合性** (Spatial) | 能否灵活、安全地管理组合的依赖关系 | 依赖缺失时行为是否确定 |
+
+一门编程语言或应用框架越多地使用组合范式，就称它的可组合性越好。
+
+## 传统插件系统的问题
+
+插件系统是动态组合的典型形式。浏览器扩展、IDE 插件、操作系统驱动，都是其实例。然而大多数插件系统并不可靠。
+
+### 不可逆的插件化
+
+以 VSCode 为例：
+
+- 卸载或更新插件时需要重启整个系统。
+- 无法在运行时追踪和回收副作用，导致内存泄漏和非预期的资源占用。
+- 即便提供了 `deactivate` 钩子，也无法强制开发者正确实现清理逻辑。
+
+**根本原因**：未做到时间可组合——系统不知道某个插件产生了哪些副作用、占用了哪些资源。
+
+### 不完全的插件化
+
+- 无法表达插件间的依赖关系，扩展能力受限。
+- 只有外围功能被下放给插件，核心功能依然通过修改主体代码来实现。
+
+**根本原因**：未做到空间可组合——系统缺乏对依赖关系的建模和管理。
+
+## Cordis 的解法
+
+Cordis 同时解决了上述两个问题：
+
+1. **可逆作用** (Revertible Effects) 实现时间可组合性——所有注册自动追踪、自动回收。
+2. **响应式余作用** (Reactive Coeffects) 实现空间可组合性——依赖声明驱动加载顺序。
+
+两者通过**上下文模型** (Context Model) 统一为单一的编程范式：开发者只需通过 `ctx` 调用框架 API，可逆性和依赖管理由框架保证。
+
+## 在 Harness 中的体现
+
+DeepSeek Harness 将 Cordis 的可组合性应用到 Agent 开发领域：
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+import { defineTool } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tools'
+import type {} from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-llm'
+
+// 一个 Harness 插件天然是可逆的
+export const inject = ['tools', 'llm'] // 空间可组合：声明依赖
+
+export function apply(ctx: Context) {
+  // 时间可组合：注册会被自动追踪和回收
+  ctx.tools.register(defineTool({
+    name: 'my-tool',
+    description: '...',
+    parameters: { /* ... */ },
+    async execute(args) { return [] },
+  }))
+}
+```
+
+插件卸载时，tool 自动注销、事件监听自动移除——无需手动清理。依赖的服务（如 `llm`）消失时，插件自动挂起；恢复时自动重新加载。

+# 上下文模型
+
+上下文 (Context) 是 Cordis 将作用与余作用统一的运行时模型。它提供了一种编程范式，允许开发者无心智负担地编写时间、空间可组合的程序。
+
+## 作用上下文 (Effect Context)
+
+当副作用被记录到全局环境时，$\mathcal{C}\times\left(\mathcal{C}\to\mathcal{C}\right)$ 也就变成了一个更大的 $\mathcal{C}$。
+
+递归地定义：
+
+$$
+\begin{matrix}
+\mathcal{C}_1=\mathcal{C}_0\times\left(\mathcal{C}_0\to\mathcal{C}_0\right)\\
+\mathcal{C}_2=\mathcal{C}_1\times\left(\mathcal{C}_1\to\mathcal{C}_1\right)\\
+\cdots\\
+\mathcal{C}_{n+1}=\mathcal{C}_n\times\left(\mathcal{C}_n\to\mathcal{C}_n\right)\\
+\end{matrix}
+$$
+
+每一层 $\mathcal{C}$ 包含上一层的状态，同时记录了上一层的副作用。
+
+利用递归类型得到真正的作用上下文：
+
+$$
+\mathcal{C}=\mathcal{C}\times\left(\mathcal{C}\to\mathcal{C}\right)
+$$
+
+这就是 Cordis Context 的理论根基：**上下文既是状态容器，又是副作用追踪器。**
+
+## 上下文的派生
+
+当一个插件被加载时，从当前上下文派生出新的上下文实例：
+
+```
+Root Context
+├── Plugin A Context   ← 管理 A 的副作用
+│   └── Sub-plugin Context
+└── Plugin B Context   ← 管理 B 的副作用
+```
+
+- 子级上下文管理插件内部的全部副作用
+- 插件整体作为一个副作用被父级上下文收集
+- 父级 dispose 时，子级先被 dispose（保证依赖逆序）
+
+## 余作用上下文 (Coeffect Context)
+
+余作用由作用产生：
+
+- **提供服务**本身是一种作用——它占用了服务命名空间资源
+- 因此服务的提供被记录在作用上下文中
+- 上下文将作用与余作用关联起来，提供了统一的时间、空间可组合性
+
+```ts
+import { Service, type Context } from 'cordis'
+
+// 提供服务 = 一个 effect（占用 ctx.llm 这个 "资源"）
+class LlmService extends Service {
+  constructor(ctx: Context) {
+    super(ctx, 'llm')
+  }
+  // 当此插件卸载时，ctx.llm 被回收（effect 的逆操作）
+  // 所有依赖 llm 的插件因 coeffect 不满足而挂起
+}
+```
+
+## 基于上下文的开发范式
+
+上下文模型提供了两个关键优势：
+
+### 无感性 (Transparent)
+
+框架将领域中的所有方法都封装为 effect 版本。开发者只需调用 `ctx` 上的方法，就能自动获得时间/空间可组合性：
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+import type { ToolDefinition } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tools'
+import type { LlmAdapter, Message } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-llm'
+import type { Agent } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-agent'
+
+declare function validateResult(agent: Agent, turn: number, step: number, message: Message, next: () => Promise<Message>): Promise<Message>
+declare const myTool: ToolDefinition
+declare const adapter: LlmAdapter
+
+export function apply(ctx: Context) {
+  // 以下每一行都是 effect——卸载时自动逆序回收
+  ctx.on('agent/step-result', validateResult)
+  ctx.tools.register(myTool)
+  ctx.llm.registerAdapter(['my-model'], adapter)
+
+  // 开发者无需知道"可逆作用"的存在
+  // 只需通过 ctx 调用，框架保证一切安全
+}
+```
+
+### 渐进性 (Incremental)
+
+可以逐步将现有框架中的 API 替换为可组合版本，无需一次性重写：
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+
+declare const ctx: Context
+declare function handler(): void
+declare const legacySystem: {
+  register(handler: () => void): object
+  unregister(token: object): void
+}
+
+// 第一步：用 ctx.effect 包装遗留 API
+ctx.effect(() => {
+  const legacy = legacySystem.register(handler)
+  return () => legacySystem.unregister(legacy)
+})
+
+// 第二步：在未来将遗留 API 原生改造为 effect
+// 两种方式可以并存
+```
+
+## 在 Harness 中的完整图景
+
+DeepSeek Harness 的运行时是一个 Context 树：
+
+```
+Root Context (Cordis 应用)
+├── dsh-session (提供 ctx.sessions)
+├── dsh-tools (提供 ctx.tools)
+├── dsh-llm (提供 ctx.llm)
+│   └── deepseek-adapter (注册模型适配器)
+├── dsh-agent-loop (提供 ctx.agentLoop)
+├── dsh-bash (提供 ctx.bash)
+│   └── bash-local (本地执行器实现)
+├── dsh-fs (提供 ctx.fs)
+│   └── fs-local (本地 FS 实现)
+├── dsh-system-prompt (提供 ctx.systemPrompt)
+└── Agent Context (由 agents.create() 派生)
+    ├── Agent 自己注册的 tools
+    ├── Agent 的 session
+    └── Subagent Context (进一步派生)
+```
+
+每个节点都是一个 Context 实例。插件加载/卸载、服务出现/消失、Agent 创建/销毁——这一切都在 Context 树上以统一的语义发生。
+
+## 总结
+
+| 概念 | 解决的问题 | Cordis 机制 |
+|------|-----------|-------------|
+| 作用上下文 | 副作用追踪与回收 | `ctx.effect()` / `fiber.dispose()` |
+| 上下文派生 | 副作用的层级隔离 | `ctx.plugin()` 创建子 Context |
+| 余作用上下文 | 依赖的动态管理 | `inject` 声明 + 服务生命周期 |
+| 统一范式 | 开发者无需关心底层机制 | 只需通过 `ctx` 调用 API |
+
+这就是为什么 Harness 能在保持「一切皆插件」的同时，不给插件开发者增加心智负担——**上下文模型把复杂性封装在了框架内部**。

+# 作用与余作用
+
+## 作用 (Effects)
+
+Effects 是程序中对系统状态或外部环境产生影响的操作：I/O、状态修改、资源占用等。
+
+学术界对作用有两种主要建模方式：
+
+### 单子作用 (Monadic Effects)
+
+- 通过单子 (monad) 将副作用封装为类型安全的计算链。
+- 提供 `return`（纯值注入）和 `bind`（链式组合）两个基本操作。
+- 以纯函数式的方式处理带有副作用的计算。(Moggi 1991, Wadler 1992)
+- 代表语言：Haskell (IO Monad)、Rust (Result/Option)
+
+### 代数作用 (Algebraic Effects)
+
+- 允许在函数中"抛出"一个 effect，在调用栈的更高层次"捕获"并处理。
+- 类似异常处理，但更通用——处理后可以恢复执行。
+- 代表语言：Koka、Eff、OCaml 5+ (Kiselyov 2018, Kawahara 2020)
+
+## 余作用 (Coeffects)
+
+Coeffects 是程序执行时依赖的上下文信息：环境变量、系统资源、外部服务等。
+
+- Coeffects 是 effects 的对偶 (dual) 概念，通常通过余单子 (comonad) 建模。(Petricek 2013, 2014; Brünnler 2014)
+- 更前沿的理论将带有资源的上下文建模为 **graded algebra**（有序半环加最大元）：
+  - 加法 = 并行组合；0 元 = 无资源
+  - 乘法 = 串行组合；1 元 = 单位资源
+  - 序 = 资源约束；最大元 = 无限资源
+  - (Breuvart 2015, Gaboardi 2016, Dal Lago 2022)
+
+## 现有理论的不足
+
+这些理论主要面向**静态分析**和**短时程序**：
+
+1. **缺乏运行时追踪**：类型系统能标记副作用的存在，但无法在运行时追踪和回收。对长时运行程序（服务端、Agent），这意味着资源泄漏不可避免。
+
+2. **缺乏动态性**：面向编译期分析，无法处理运行时的加载/卸载需求。
+
+3. **崩溃而非降级**：类型不满足时直接拒绝编译或运行时崩溃，而长时运行程序更希望安全降级——挂起不满足依赖的部分，而非停止整个系统。
+
+## Cordis 的突破
+
+Cordis 选择了不同的路径——在运行时层面解决可组合性问题：
+
+| 现有理论 | Cordis 方案 |
+|----------|-------------|
+| 类型标记副作用 | 运行时追踪并自动回收副作用 |
+| 编译期拒绝 | 运行时挂起/恢复 |
+| 面向短时程序 | 面向长时运行程序设计 |
+
+这由两个互补机制实现：
+
+- **[可逆作用](./revertible-effects)** — 将副作用形式化为可逆的群操作
+- **[响应式余作用](./reactive-coeffects)** — 将依赖建模为具有生命周期的服务
+
+## 在 Agent 开发中的意义
+
+对 DeepSeek Harness 而言，作用/余作用模型直接支撑了以下能力：
+
+| 作用 (Effect) | 余作用 (Coeffect) |
+|---------------|-------------------|
+| 注册一个 tool | 依赖 tool registry 服务 |
+| 注册一个 LLM adapter | 依赖 LLM 服务接口 |
+| 监听 session 事件 | 依赖 session 服务存在 |
+| 启动子进程 | 依赖 bash executor 实现 |
+
+每一个 effect 都可逆（tool 可注销、adapter 可移除）；每一个 coeffect 都有生命周期（服务消失则依赖者挂起）。这就是 Agent 能被安全热替换的根本原因。

+# 系统设计
+
+DeepSeek Harness 建立在 Cordis 微内核之上，采用「一切皆插件」的架构。本节阐述这套设计背后的理论基础和设计哲学。
+
+## 核心思想
+
+Harness 追求三种可组合性的统一：
+
+| 维度 | 含义 | Cordis 对应机制 |
+|------|------|----------------|
+| 逻辑可组合性 | 功能能否自由拆分和拼装 | 插件系统、事件系统 |
+| 时间可组合性 | 运行时能否安全地加载/卸载功能 | 可逆作用、自动清理 |
+| 空间可组合性 | 依赖关系能否被安全地声明和管理 | 服务生命周期、依赖注入 |
+
+这三种可组合性在上下文模型中统一为单一的编程范式。
+

+# 响应式余作用
+
+响应式余作用 (Reactive Coeffects) 是 Cordis 实现**空间可组合性**的核心机制。
+
+- 将代码中的资源依赖抽象为服务 (service) 的概念
+- 通过运行时生命周期语义，实现自动、安全、高效的资源管理
+
+## 依赖的本质是生命周期
+
+传统的依赖注入（如 Angular DI、Spring IoC）解决的是"怎么拿到依赖"的问题，但忽略了一个关键问题：**依赖是有生命周期的**。
+
+一个数据库连接池可能重启，一个 API 服务可能下线，一个 LLM adapter 可能被热替换。当依赖消失时，依赖者应当如何表现？
+
+- 崩溃？——对长时运行程序不可接受。
+- 继续运行？——可能产生不一致状态。
+- **自动挂起，等待恢复？**——Cordis 的选择。
+
+## 服务与生命周期
+
+Cordis 将程序中的资源依赖抽象为**服务** (service)：
+
+- 任何插件都可以声明自己依赖的服务列表
+- 服务存在明确的生命周期（提供、撤销）
+- 运行时对依赖不满足的插件**等待**，而非拒绝
+- 服务生命周期结束前，依赖该服务的插件**先一步被回收**
+
+```ts
+import { Service, type Context } from 'cordis'
+
+// LLM 适配器插件：提供 llm 服务
+export class LlmService extends Service {
+  static inject = ['http']  // 自身依赖 http
+  // 当 http 不可用时，LlmService 自动挂起
+  // 挂起导致 ctx.llm 不可用
+  // 所有 inject: ['llm'] 的插件级联挂起
+
+  constructor(ctx: Context) {
+    super(ctx, 'llm')
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## 与现有理论的对比
+
+### 与 Comonad 余作用比较
+
+基于 Comonad 的余作用（Petricek 2013）将上下文建模为静态结构，侧重于编译期分析。Cordis 的响应式余作用额外引入了**时序语义**：
+
+- 服务可在运行时出现/消失
+- 依赖关系随之动态建立/解除
+- 效果的生命周期由依赖关系决定
+
+### 与 Grade Algebra 余作用比较
+
+基于 Grade Algebra 的余作用（Gaboardi 2016）用有序半环描述资源的组合规则。Cordis 的服务依赖可以建模为**交换半群**：
+
+- 服务名构成依赖集合
+- 集合并（∪）对应并行依赖
+- 交换律：依赖 A + B ≡ 依赖 B + A（声明顺序无关）
+- 结合律：依赖分组方式不影响语义
+
+但 Cordis 还增加了代数不具备的运行时行为：当集合中的某个服务不可用时，整个依赖集不满足，触发挂起。
+
+## 在 Cordis 中的实现
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+import type {} from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tools'
+import type {} from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-llm'
+
+// 声明依赖
+export const inject = ['tools', 'llm']
+
+export function apply(ctx: Context) {
+  // 到这里时，ctx.tools 和 ctx.llm 一定可用
+  // 如果任一服务消失，此插件自动卸载
+  // 服务恢复后，自动重新执行 apply
+}
+```
+
+服务生命周期变化时的行为：
+
+```
+llm service 可用 → 依赖 llm 的插件 PENDING → ACTIVE
+llm service 消失 → 依赖 llm 的插件 ACTIVE → DISPOSED
+llm service 恢复 → 依赖 llm 的插件重新 PENDING → ACTIVE
+```
+
+## 为什么 Agent 需要响应式余作用
+
+在 Harness 场景下，响应式余作用直接支撑：
+
+| 场景 | 行为 |
+|------|------|
+| LLM adapter 热替换 | 依赖 `llm` 的插件自动挂起/恢复，中间不丢状态 |
+| 按需加载 bash 执行器 | bash tool 只在 `bash` 服务就绪后注册 |
+| 子 Agent 独立服务空间 | 通过 `ctx.isolate()` 隔离服务实例，互不干扰 |
+| 可选能力降级 | 不声明 `inject`，用 `ctx.get('web')` 读取——服务不可用时返回 `undefined`，插件照常运行 |
+
+这意味着 Harness 插件开发者无需编写防御性的 "if service exists" 检查——框架保证：当你的 `apply` 被调用时，声明的依赖一定已就绪。

+
+## 副作用的封装
+
+现实中的程序需要与各种副作用打交道。假设一个不纯函数：
+
+$$
+f_\text{impure}: \text{X}\to\text{Y}
+$$
+
+我们将所有可能的副作用用类型 $\mathcal{C}$ 封装，函数变为：
+
+$$
+f: \mathcal{C}\times\text{X}\to\mathcal{C}\times\text{Y}
+$$
+
+对于长时运行程序，忽略函数本身的入参和出参，$f$ 属于函数空间 $\mathfrak{F}=\mathcal{C}\to\mathcal{C}$。
+
+## 从幺半群到群
+
+任何函数 $f: \mathcal{C}\to\mathcal{C}$ 都是状态空间到自身的变换。在组合 $\circ$ 下构成**幺半群**：
+
+1. 封闭性：$f\circ g$ 也是 $\mathcal{C}\to\mathcal{C}$
+2. 结合律：$(f\circ g)\circ h=f\circ (g\circ h)$
+3. 单位元：$\text{id}$，使得 $f\circ\text{id}=\text{id}\circ f=f$
+
+如果额外要求每个 $f$ 存在逆元 $f^{-1}$（即副作用可回收），$\mathfrak{F}$ 升级为**群**。
+
+## 副作用都可逆吗？
+
+观察计算机中的副作用模式：
+
+| 操作 | 占用资源 | 逆操作 |
+|------|----------|--------|
+| 打开文件 | 文件描述符 | 关闭文件 |
+| 创建子进程 | 进程号 | 杀死进程 |
+| 监听端口 | 端口 | 取消监听 |
+| 添加回调函数 | 事件槽位 | 删除回调 |
+| 分配内存 | 内存区块 | 回收内存 |
+
+**副作用就是对资源的占用。** 计算机的资源天然设计为可重复使用，因此这些副作用一定是可逆的。
+
+## 追踪和回收副作用
+
+Cordis 通过 $\text{effect}$ 和 $\text{restore}$ 函子追踪和回收逆函数。
+
+### effect 函子
+
+$$
+\begin{array}{}
+\text{effect}&:&
+\left(\mathcal{C}\to\mathcal{C}\right)&\to&
+\mathcal{C}\times\left(\mathcal{C}\to\mathcal{C}\right)&\to&

+直觉：执行 $f$ 产生的副作用记入状态 $c$，同时将逆操作 $f^{-1}$ 追加到回收链 $h$ 中。
+
+### 同态性证明
+
+$\text{effect}$ 是从 $\mathcal{C}\to\mathcal{C}$ 到 $\mathcal{C}\times(\mathcal{C}\to\mathcal{C})\to\mathcal{C}\times(\mathcal{C}\to\mathcal{C})$ 的同态：
+
+$$
+\begin{aligned}
+\text{effect}\ (f\circ g) \left(c, h\right)
+&=\left((f\circ g)(c), h\circ (f\circ g)^{-1}\right)\\
+&=\left(f(g(c)), h\circ g^{-1}\circ f^{-1}\right)\\
+&=\left(\text{effect}\ f\right)\left(g(c), h\circ g^{-1}\right)\\
+&=\left(\text{effect}\ f\right)\circ\left(\text{effect}\ g\right) \left(c, h\right)
+\end{aligned}
+$$
+
+这意味着：组合两个操作后再追踪 = 分别追踪后再组合。副作用追踪与执行顺序无关。
+
+### restore 函子
+
+$$
+\begin{array}{}
+\text{restore}&:&
+\mathcal{C}\times\left(\mathcal{C}\to\mathcal{C}\right)&\to&
+\mathcal{C}\times\left(\mathcal{C}\to\mathcal{C}\right)\\
+\text{restore}&=&\left(c, h\right)&\mapsto&\left(h(c),\text{id}\right)
+\end{array}
+$$
+
+直觉：将回收链 $h$ 应用到当前状态，一次性回收所有已追踪的副作用。
+
+## 在 Cordis 中的实现
+
+理论映射到 API：
+
+| 数学概念 | Cordis API | 说明 |
+|----------|-----------|------|
+| $\text{effect}(f)$ | `ctx.effect(() => { ...; return dispose })` | 注册副作用并返回清理函数 |
+| $\text{restore}$ | `fiber.dispose()` | 执行 Fiber 的整个回收链 |
+| $f^{-1}$ | dispose 返回值 / cleanup 函数 | 逆操作 |
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+import type { ToolDefinition } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tools'
+
+declare module 'cordis' {
+  interface Events {
+    'my-plugin/event'(): void
+  }
+}
+
+declare function startServer(port: number): { close(): void }
+declare function handler(): void
+declare const myTool: ToolDefinition
+
+export function apply(ctx: Context) {
+  // effect: 创建资源，返回其逆操作
+  ctx.effect(() => {
+    const server = startServer(8080)     // f: 占用端口
+    return () => server.close()          // f⁻¹: 释放端口
+  })
+
+  // 框架 API 内部已封装 effect
+  ctx.on('my-plugin/event', handler)     // 内部: effect(addListener, removeListener)
+  ctx.tools.register(myTool)             // 内部: effect(addTool, removeTool)
+}
+// 当此插件被卸载时，restore 自动按逆序执行所有 f⁻¹
+```
+
+## 为什么 Agent 需要可逆作用
+
+在 Harness 场景下，可逆作用直接支撑：
+
+- **热替换 LLM 适配器**：卸载旧适配器（回收注册）、加载新适配器，无需重启
+- **动态 tool 管理**：根据对话上下文动态添加/移除 tool，不泄漏
+- **子 Agent 生命周期**：子 Agent 完成后，其注册的所有临时 tool 和监听器自动清理
+- **优雅关闭**：进程退出时所有插件按依赖逆序 dispose，确保资源完全释放

+# 插件配置
+
+让你的插件接受用户在 `cordis.yml` 中传入的配置。
+
+## 定义 Config 类型
+
+在插件中导出一个 `Config` 类型，`apply` 的第二个参数就是用户配置：
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+
+export const name = 'my-plugin'
+
+export interface Config {
+  greeting?: string
+  maxRetries?: number
+  verbose?: boolean
+}
+
+export function apply(ctx: Context, config: Config) {
+  console.log(config.greeting ?? 'Hello')  // 用户配置或默认值
+}
+```
+
+用户在 `cordis.yml` 中这样使用：
+
+```yaml
+- name: './src/my-plugin.ts'
+  config:
+    greeting: 'Hi there'
+    maxRetries: 5
+```
+
+只导出类型时，配置原样传入，默认值由代码自己兜底（如上面的 `??`）。想让框架代管默认值和校验，导出一个 schema（见下节）。
+
+## Schema 校验
+
+对于需要默认值和严格校验的场景，额外导出一个 Schemastery schema（仓库约定以 `z` 引入）。加载时框架先用它校验并填充默认值，再把结果传给 `apply`：
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+import z from 'schemastery'
+
+export const name = 'validated-plugin'
+
+export interface Config {
+  apiKey: string
+  timeout?: number
+  mode?: 'fast' | 'accurate'
+}
+
+export const Config: z<Config> = z.object({
+  apiKey: z.string().required(),
+  timeout: z.number().default(30000),
+  mode: z.union(['fast', 'accurate'] as const).default('fast'),
+})
+
+export function apply(ctx: Context, config: Config) {
+  // config 已经过校验，类型安全，默认值已填充
+}
+```
+
+Schema 在插件加载时执行校验。如果配置不合法，插件会加载失败并给出明确错误信息。
+
+## 设计原则
+
+### 无硬编码可调参数
+
+Harness 的约定：**任何两个部署可能想要不同值的东西，都应该是配置字段**。
+
+```ts
+// 错误 — 硬编码超时时间
+const TIMEOUT = 30000
+
+// 正确 — 可配置
+export interface Config {
+  /** 默认 30000 */
+  timeoutMs?: number
+}
+```
+
+检验标准：能否在 `cordis.yml` 中改变这个值，而不需要修改代码？
+
+### 配置错误要响亮
+
+如果配置引用了不存在的东西（比如一个未注册的 LLM 提供方路由），应该尽早报错，而不是静默跳过：
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+import type {} from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-llm'
+
+export interface Config {
+  provider: string
+  model: string
+}
+
+export function apply(ctx: Context, config: Config) {
+  if (!ctx.llm.listProviders().some(provider => provider.id === config.provider)) {
+    throw new Error(`LLM provider "${config.provider}" is not registered`)
+  }
+}
+```
+
+模型目录只用于发现；适配器可能接受目录之外的模型 ID，因此不能把 `listModels()` 当作请求白名单。
+
+## 配合 HMR
+
+配置变更会触发插件热替换：修改 `cordis.yml` 中某个插件的 `config`，框架会卸载旧实例、加载新实例。由于注册都是效果（自动清理），这个过程是安全的。

+# 第一个插件
+
+本文带你编写一个最小的 Harness 插件并加载到 Agent 中。
+
+## 插件是什么
+
+在 Harness 中，插件是一个导出 `apply` 函数的 TypeScript 模块。框架在加载时调用 `apply`，传入一个 `ctx`（上下文对象），你通过 `ctx` 注册能力：
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+
+export const name = 'my-plugin'
+
+export function apply(ctx: Context) {
+  // 在这里注册能力
+}
+```
+
+就这么简单。
+
+## 创建插件文件
+
+在你的项目目录下创建 `src/my-plugin.ts`：
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+
+export const name = 'hello-plugin'
+
+export function apply(ctx: Context) {
+  // apply 函数体在插件加载时执行
+  console.log('[hello-plugin] 插件已加载!')
+}
+```
+
+## 注册到 cordis.yml
+
+在你的 `cordis.yml` 中添加一条：
+
+```yaml
+- id: hello
+  name: './src/my-plugin.ts'
+```
+
+启动后你会在控制台看到 `[hello-plugin] 插件已加载!`。
+
+## 自动清理
+
+通过 `ctx` 注册的任何东西——事件监听、tool、定时器——在插件卸载时都会被自动清理。你不需要手动 removeListener 或 clearInterval。
+
+如果你有需要手动清理的资源（比如一个网络连接），用 `ctx.effect()` 告诉框架怎么清理：
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+
+export function apply(ctx: Context) {
+  ctx.effect(() => {
+    const timer = setInterval(() => {
+      console.log('heartbeat')
+    }, 5000)
+
+    // 返回的函数会在插件卸载时被调用
+    return () => clearInterval(timer)
+  })
+}
+```
+
+## 声明依赖
+
+如果你的插件需要使用其他服务（如 `tools`、`llm`），需要声明 `inject`：
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+import { defineTool } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tools'
+
+export const name = 'my-tool-plugin'
+export const inject = ['tools']
+
+export function apply(ctx: Context) {
+  // ctx.tools 现在可用
+  ctx.tools.register(defineTool({
+    name: 'demo',
+    description: 'Demo tool.',
+    parameters: {},
+    async execute() {
+      return []
+    },
+  }))
+}
+```
+
+框架会确保依赖的服务就绪后才加载你的插件。
+
+## 插件的三种形态
+
+除了函数形式，插件还支持对象形式和类形式：
+
+### 对象形式
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+import type {} from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tools'
+
+export default {
+  name: 'my-plugin',
+  inject: ['tools'],
+  apply(ctx: Context) {
+    // ...
+  },
+}
+```
+
+### 类形式
+
+```ts
+import { Service, type Context } from 'cordis'
+import type {} from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tools'
+
+export default class MyService extends Service {
+  static inject = ['tools']
+
+  constructor(ctx: Context) {
+    super(ctx, 'myService')
+  }
+
+  // 服务的公开方法
+  greet(name: string) {
+    return `Hello, ${name}!`
+  }
+}
+```
+
+大多数情况下，函数形式足够了。类形式用于需要对外提供服务的插件（见 [服务与依赖](../framework/service)）。
+
+## 完整示例
+
+参考仓库中的 `examples/echo-agent/src/echo-tool.ts`，这是一个注册 tool 的插件：
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+import { defineTool } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tools'
+
+export const name = 'echo-tool'
+export const inject = ['tools']
+
+export function apply(ctx: Context) {
+  ctx.tools.register(defineTool({
+    name: 'echo',
+    description: 'Echo the given text back, uppercased.',
+    parameters: {
+      text: { type: 'string', required: true },
+    },
+    async execute(args) {
+      return [{ type: 'text', text: `ECHO: ${args.text.toUpperCase()}` }]
+    },
+  }))
+}
+```

+# 开发一个 Tool
+
+Tool 是模型可以调用的能力。本文介绍如何用 `defineTool` 编写一个 tool。
+
+## 最小示例
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+import { defineTool } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tools'
+
+export const name = 'my-tool'
+export const inject = ['tools']
+
+export function apply(ctx: Context) {
+  ctx.tools.register(defineTool({
+    name: 'greet',
+    description: 'Greet someone by name.',
+    parameters: {
+      name: { type: 'string', required: true, description: 'The name to greet' },
+    },
+    async execute(args) {
+      // args 自动推导为 { name: string }
+      return [{ type: 'text', text: `Hello, ${args.name}!` }]
+    },
+  }))
+}
+```
+
+## 参数定义
+
+`parameters` 用一种简洁的格式描述参数，框架会自动转换为模型需要的 JSON Schema。
+
+### 基本类型
+
+```ts
+import type { SchemaSpec } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tools'
+
+const parameters = {
+  path: { type: 'string', required: true },
+  limit: { type: 'number' },
+  recursive: { type: 'boolean' },
+} satisfies SchemaSpec
+// 推导类型: { path: string; limit?: number; recursive?: boolean }
+```
+
+### 枚举
+
+```ts
+import type { SchemaSpec } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tools'
+
+const parameters = {
+  mode: { type: 'string', required: true, enum: ['read', 'write', 'append'] },
+} satisfies SchemaSpec
+// 推导类型: { mode: string }  (运行时校验 enum 值)
+```
+
+### 嵌套对象
+
+```ts
+import type { SchemaSpec } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tools'
+
+const parameters = {
+  options: {
+    type: 'object',
+    properties: {
+      timeout: { type: 'number' },
+      retries: { type: 'number' },
+    },
+  },
+} satisfies SchemaSpec
+// 推导类型: { options?: { timeout?: number; retries?: number } }
+```
+
+### 数组
+
+```ts
+import type { SchemaSpec } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tools'
+
+const parameters = {
+  tags: {
+    type: 'array',
+    items: { type: 'string' },
+  },
+} satisfies SchemaSpec
+// 推导类型: { tags?: string[] }
+```
+
+### 每个属性的字段
+
+| 字段 | 类型 | 说明 |
+|------|------|------|
+| `type` | `'string' \| 'number' \| 'boolean' \| 'object' \| 'array'` | 值类型 |
+| `required` | `true` | 标记为必填（影响类型推导） |
+| `description` | `string` | 发送给模型的描述 |
+| `enum` | `string[]` | 允许的枚举值 |
+| `properties` | `SchemaSpec` | 嵌套属性（type 为 object 时） |
+| `items` | `SchemaProp` | 数组元素 schema（type 为 array 时） |
+
+## execute 函数
+
+`execute` 接收经过校验的 `args`（类型自动推导）和一个 `exec` 上下文对象：
+
+```ts
+import { defineTool } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tools'
+
+defineTool({
+  name: 'demo',
+  description: 'Demo tool.',
+  parameters: {},
+  async execute(args, exec) {
+    // args: 根据 parameters 自动推导的类型
+    // exec: ToolExecution 对象，提供执行上下文
+
+    // 返回 ContentBlock 数组
+    return [{ type: 'text', text: 'result here' }]
+  },
+})
+```
+
+### 返回值
+
+`execute` 必须返回一个 `ContentBlock[]`，告诉模型 tool 的执行结果：
+
+```ts
+import type { ContentBlock } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-llm'
+
+declare const matchResults: string[]
+
+// 文本结果
+function textResult(): ContentBlock[] {
+  return [{ type: 'text', text: 'file content here...' }]
+}
+
+// 多个 block
+function multiBlockResult(): ContentBlock[] {
+  return [
+    { type: 'text', text: 'Found 3 matches:' },
+    { type: 'text', text: matchResults.join('\n') },
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### 参数校验
+
+`defineTool` 在调用 `execute` 之前会自动校验模型生成的参数。如果参数不合法，会抛出 `ToolArgsError`，框架将其转换为 `isError` 结果返回给模型，让模型自行修正。
+
+你不需要在 `execute` 里手动校验参数类型。
+
+## 展示层 (Presentation)
+
+Tool 可以定义 UI 渲染方法，用于在终端或 ACP 客户端中展示 tool call 和 result：
+
+```ts
+import { defineTool } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tools'
+
+defineTool({
+  name: 'bash',
+  description: 'Run a shell command.',
+  parameters: {
+    command: { type: 'string', required: true },
+  },
+  async execute(args) {
+    return [{ type: 'text', text: `ran: ${args.command}` }]
+  },
+  presentCall(args) {
+    return {
+      card: 'terminal',
+      title: args.command.slice(0, 60),
+    }
+  },
+  presentResult(args, result) {
+    return {
+      card: 'terminal',
+      output: result.content.map(b => b.type === 'text' ? b.text : '').join(''),
+    }
+  },
+})
+```
+
+`presentCall` 和 `presentResult` 是**纯函数**，不能有副作用——UI 可能在流式传输中和会话回放中多次调用它们。
+
+## 注册与卸载
+
+`ctx.tools.register()` 返回值就是 disposer。但由于你在 `ctx` 上调用，框架已经自动追踪了这个注册——插件卸载时会自动移除 tool。你不需要手动调用 disposer。
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+import { defineTool } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tools'
+
+declare const ctx: Context
+
+// 这样就够了:
+ctx.tools.register(defineTool({
+  name: 'noop',
+  description: 'Do nothing.',
+  parameters: {},
+  async execute() {
+    return []
+  },
+}))
+
+// 不需要:
+// const dispose = ctx.tools.register(...)
+// ctx.effect(() => dispose)
+```
+
+## 完整实战示例
+
+一个文件计数 tool：
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+import { defineTool } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tools'
+import { readdir } from 'node:fs/promises'
+
+export const name = 'file-counter'
+export const inject = ['tools']
+
+export function apply(ctx: Context) {
+  ctx.tools.register(defineTool({
+    name: 'count_files',
+    description: 'Count files in a directory.',
+    parameters: {
+      path: { type: 'string', required: true, description: 'Directory path' },
+      extension: { type: 'string', description: 'Filter by extension (e.g. ".ts")' },
+    },
+    async execute(args) {
+      const entries = await readdir(args.path, { withFileTypes: true })
+      let files = entries.filter(e => e.isFile())
+      if (args.extension) {
+        files = files.filter(f => f.name.endsWith(args.extension!))
+      }
+      return [{ type: 'text', text: `Found ${files.length} files.` }]
+    },
+  }))
+}
+```

+# 事件系统
+
+事件是 Cordis 插件间通信的核心机制。Harness 大量使用事件来实现松耦合的扩展点。
+
+## 基本用法
+
+### 监听事件
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+
+declare module 'cordis' {
+  interface Events {
+    'event-name'(payload: string): void
+  }
+}
+
+declare const ctx: Context
+
+ctx.on('event-name', (payload) => {
+  // 处理事件
+})
+```
+
+### 触发事件
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+
+declare module 'cordis' {
+  interface Events {
+    'event-name'(payload: string): void
+  }
+}
+
+declare const ctx: Context
+declare const payload: string
+
+ctx.emit('event-name', payload)
+```
+
+## 事件模式
+
+Cordis 提供多种事件触发模式，适用于不同场景：
+
+### emit — 广播
+
+同步依次调用所有监听器，不等待、不关心返回值（监听器如果是 async，其 Promise 被忽略）：
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+
+declare module 'cordis' {
+  interface Events {
+    'my-plugin/turn-end'(agentId: string, turnIndex: number): void
+  }
+}
+
+declare const ctx: Context
+declare const agentId: string
+declare const turnIndex: number
+
+// 触发
+ctx.emit('my-plugin/turn-end', agentId, turnIndex)
+
+// 监听
+ctx.on('my-plugin/turn-end', (agentId, turnIndex) => {
+  console.log(`Turn ${turnIndex} ended`)
+})
+```
+
+### bail — 短路
+
+同步依次调用监听器，第一个返回**非 `undefined`/`null`/`false`** 值的监听器终止链并作为最终值（返回 `undefined`/`null`/`false` 则继续下一个）：
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+
+declare module 'cordis' {
+  interface Events {
+    'some-check'(input: string): string | undefined
+  }
+}
+
+declare const ctx: Context
+declare const input: string
+declare function shouldBlock(input: string): boolean
+
+// 触发
+const result = ctx.bail('some-check', input)
+
+// 监听（返回值阻止后续监听器）
+ctx.on('some-check', (input) => {
+  if (shouldBlock(input)) return 'blocked'
+  // 返回 undefined 继续传递给下一个监听器
+  return undefined
+})
+```
+
+### serial — 顺序执行
+
+按注册顺序逐个 `await` 监听器，遇到第一个 bail 值（非 `undefined`/`null`/`false`）即停止并返回它；全部返回空值则执行到底。相当于 `bail` 的异步版：
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+
+declare module 'cordis' {
+  interface Events {
+    'setup-phase'(context: object): Promise<void> | void
+  }
+}
+
+declare const ctx: Context
+declare const context: object
+
+await ctx.serial('setup-phase', context)
+```
+
+### waterfall — 管道
+
+监听器围绕默认实现层层包裹，形成数据管道。**必须调用 `next()` 委托给下游**，不调用即为否决：
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+import type { Message } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-llm'
+
+declare module 'cordis' {
+  interface Events {
+    'my-plugin/messages'(messages: Message[], next: () => Promise<Message[]>): Promise<Message[]>
+  }
+}
+
+declare const ctx: Context
+declare const messages: Message[]
+declare const extraMessage: Message
+
+// 触发：最后一个参数是默认实现（所有监听器都调用 next 时的最终值）
+const finalMessages = await ctx.waterfall('my-plugin/messages', messages, async () => messages)
+
+// 监听（必须调用 next）
+ctx.on('my-plugin/messages', async (messages, next) => {
+  // next() 委托给下游监听器（最终到达默认实现），返回值可以被加工
+  const result = await next()
+  return [...result, extraMessage]
+})
+```
+
+::: warning
+Waterfall 监听器**必须调用 `next()`**。不调用 `next` 等于否决整个管道，这是故意为之的设计——用于实现拦截/网关逻辑。
+:::
+
+## Typed Events
+
+Harness 使用 TypeScript 声明合并来为事件提供类型安全：
+
+```ts
+import type {} from 'cordis'
+
+declare module 'cordis' {
+  interface Events {
+    'my-plugin/ready'(payload: { id: string }): void
+    'my-plugin/check'(input: string): boolean | undefined
+  }
+}
+
+// 现在 ctx.on('my-plugin/ready', ...) 和 ctx.emit('my-plugin/ready', ...)
+// 都有正确的类型推导
+```
+
+## 命名约定
+
+Harness 事件遵循 `namespace/action` 命名：
+
+```
+agent/pre-step       — 每个 step 开始前的检查点（serial）
+agent/step-result    — step 的 assistant 消息组装完成（waterfall）
+tools/pre-execute    — tool 执行前的允许/拒绝门（waterfall）
+tools/post-execute   — tool 执行后的检查/改写缝（waterfall）
+llm/stream           — 每次流式模型调用的环绕点（waterfall）
+session/event        — 会话事件被记录（emit）
+session/flush        — 会话持久化检查点（parallel）
+```
+
+完整的事件列表（含每个事件的签名与派发模式）见仓库中的 `docs/cordis-catalog/events.md`。
+
+## 事件也是效果
+
+通过 `ctx.on()` 注册的监听器会在插件卸载时自动移除：
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+import type { Agent, AgentStatus } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-agent'
+
+declare function handler(agent: Agent, status: AgentStatus): void
+
+export function apply(ctx: Context) {
+  // 这个监听器在插件 dispose 时自动清理
+  ctx.on('agent/status', handler)
+}
+```
+
+## 实战示例：日志插件
+
+一个记录所有 tool 调用的简单插件：
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+import type {} from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tools'
+
+export const name = 'tool-logger'
+
+export function apply(ctx: Context) {
+  ctx.on('tools/execute', async (exec, next) => {
+    console.log(`[tool] ${exec.name}(${JSON.stringify(exec.arguments)})`)
+    const result = await next()
+    const text = result.content
+      .map(b => b.type === 'text' ? b.text : '')
+      .join('')
+    console.log(`[tool result] ${text.slice(0, 100)}`)
+    return result
+  })
+}

+# 插件与生命周期
+
+深入了解 Cordis 插件模型和生命周期状态机。
+
+## Fiber 状态机
+
+每个被加载的插件对应一个 **Fiber**（作用域）。Fiber 有以下状态：
+
+```
+PENDING → LOADING → ACTIVE
+                 ↘ FAILED
+ACTIVE → UNLOADING → DISPOSED
+```
+
+| 状态 | 含义 |
+|------|------|
+| PENDING | 已声明但依赖未就绪 |
+| LOADING | 依赖就绪，正在执行 `apply` |
+| ACTIVE | 插件运行中 |
+| FAILED | `apply` 抛出异常 |
+| UNLOADING | 正在卸载，清理中 |
+| DISPOSED | 已完全卸载 |
+
+## 依赖驱动的加载
+
+声明了 `inject` 的插件不会立即加载，而是等待依赖的服务就绪：
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+import type {} from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tools'
+import type {} from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-llm'
+
+export const inject = ['tools', 'llm']
+
+export function apply(ctx: Context) {
+  // 到这里时，ctx.tools 和 ctx.llm 一定存在
+}
+```
+
+如果依赖的服务消失（比如提供者被热替换），插件会被自动卸载（ACTIVE → DISPOSED），待服务恢复后重新加载。
+
+## 自动清理机制
+
+通过 `ctx` 做的任何注册，在插件卸载时都会自动撤销：
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+
+declare module 'cordis' {
+  interface Events {
+    'my-plugin/some-event'(): void
+  }
+}
+
+declare function handler(): void
+declare function createConnection(): { close(): void }
+
+export function apply(ctx: Context) {
+  // 事件监听——卸载时自动移除
+  ctx.on('my-plugin/some-event', handler)
+
+  // 自定义资源——卸载时调用返回的函数
+  ctx.effect(() => {
+    const connection = createConnection()
+    return () => connection.close()
+  })
+}
+```
+
+以下操作都会被自动追踪和清理：
+- `ctx.on(event, handler)` — 事件监听
+- `ctx.tools.register(tool)` — tool 注册
+- `ctx.llm.registerAdapter(names, adapter)` — LLM 适配器注册
+- `ctx.effect(() => cleanup)` — 自定义资源
+
+插件卸载时，这些注册按倒序逐个撤销。
+
+## 嵌套上下文
+
+`ctx.plugin()` 创建子 Fiber，它继承父上下文但有独立的生命周期：
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+
+declare function childPlugin(ctx: Context): void
+
+export function apply(ctx: Context) {
+  // 注册一个子插件
+  ctx.plugin(childPlugin)
+
+  // 子插件有自己的 Fiber，父卸载时子也卸载
+}
+```
+
+## dispose 语义
+
+当你需要提前终止一个插件实例：
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+
+declare const ctx: Context
+declare function myPlugin(ctx: Context): void
+
+const fiber = ctx.plugin(myPlugin)
+
+// 之后可以手动 dispose
+await fiber.dispose()
+```
+
+`dispose` 保证：
+1. 该插件注册的所有东西被撤销
+2. 它的子插件也被递归卸载
+3. 所有异步清理完成后 Promise resolve
+
+## 热替换 (HMR)
+
+在开发环境中（`cordis.yml` 加载了 `@cordisjs/plugin-hmr`），修改插件源文件会自动触发：
+
+1. 卸载旧插件（清理所有注册）
+2. 重新加载新代码
+3. 执行新的 `apply`
+
+因为所有注册都会被自动清理，所以热替换天然安全——不会留下旧状态。
+
+## 实战：理解生命周期
+
+`apply` 函数体就是加载钩子；卸载没有专门的事件——把清理逻辑放进 `ctx.effect()` 的返回函数即可：
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+
+export function apply(ctx: Context) {
+  console.log('plugin loading')
+
+  ctx.effect(() => {
+    console.log('effect registered')
+    return () => console.log('effect cleaned up')
+  })
+}
+```
+
+加载时输出：
+```
+plugin loading
+effect registered
+```
+
+卸载时输出：
+```
+effect cleaned up
+```

+# 服务与依赖
+
+服务 (Service) 是插件对外暴露能力的方式。依赖 (inject) 是插件声明自己需要哪些服务。
+
+## 什么是服务
+
+在 Harness 中，`tools`、`llm`、`agents` 都是服务。服务是挂载在 `ctx` 上的命名能力：
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+import type {} from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tools'
+import type {} from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-llm'
+import type {} from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-agent'
+
+declare const ctx: Context
+
+ctx.tools    // ToolRegistry 服务
+ctx.llm      // LLM 服务
+ctx.agents   // Agent 注册表服务
+```
+
+任何插件都可以提供一个新服务，供其他插件使用。
+
+## 使用服务
+
+声明 `inject` 来使用已有服务：
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+import { defineTool } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tools'
+
+export const inject = ['tools']
+
+export function apply(ctx: Context) {
+  // ctx.tools 在这里一定存在且就绪
+  ctx.tools.register(defineTool({
+    name: 'demo',
+    description: 'Demo tool.',
+    parameters: {},
+    async execute() {
+      return []
+    },
+  }))
+}
+```
+
+框架保证：在 `apply` 执行时，`inject` 声明的服务已经全部就绪。如果服务还没准备好，你的插件会等着，不会执行。
+
+## 提供服务
+
+### 使用 Service 基类
+
+```ts
+import { Service, type Context } from 'cordis'
+import type {} from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-llm'
+
+export default class MetricsService extends Service {
+  static inject = ['llm']  // 本服务也可以依赖其他服务
+
+  constructor(ctx: Context) {
+    super(ctx, 'metrics')  // 'metrics' 是服务名
+  }
+
+  // 服务的公开方法
+  record(event: string, value: number) {
+    // ...
+  }
+}
+```
+
+加载这个插件后，其他插件就可以通过 `ctx.metrics` 访问它：
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+
+export const inject = ['metrics']
+
+export function apply(ctx: Context) {
+  ctx.metrics.record('tool_call', 1)
+}
+```
+
+### 类型声明
+
+使用 TypeScript 声明合并让 `ctx.metrics` 有正确类型：
+
+```ts
+import { Service, type Context } from 'cordis'
+
+declare module 'cordis' {
+  interface Context {
+    metrics: MetricsService
+  }
+}
+
+export default class MetricsService extends Service {
+  constructor(ctx: Context) {
+    super(ctx, 'metrics')
+  }
+
+  record(event: string, value: number) { /* ... */ }
+}
+```
+
+## 依赖的行为
+
+### 必选依赖 vs 可选读取
+
+`inject` 声明的依赖都是必选的：服务不存在时，插件不会加载。如果只想"有则用之"，用 `ctx.get()` 读取——服务不存在时返回 `undefined`，插件照常加载：
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+
+// 必选：服务不存在时，插件不会加载
+export const inject = ['tools']
+
+export function apply(ctx: Context) {
+  // 可选读取：不声明 inject，服务不存在时返回 undefined
+  const metrics = ctx.get('metrics')
+  metrics?.record('plugin_loaded', 1)
+}
+```
+
+### 服务消失时的行为
+
+如果一个必选依赖的服务在运行时消失（比如提供者被卸载）：
+
+1. 依赖它的插件自动 dispose
+2. 当服务重新出现时，插件自动重新加载
+
+这保证了不会出现"调用一个已不存在的服务"的情况。
+
+## 服务隔离
+
+`cordis.yml` 支持服务隔离——同一个服务可以有多个实例，不同插件组看到不同实例。用 `@cordisjs/plugin-group` 建组（`group: true` 标记组条目），并在组上声明 `isolate`，把该服务隔离进组内作用域：
+
+```yaml
+- id: group-a
+  name: '@cordisjs/plugin-group'
+  group: true
+  isolate:
+    bash: true
+  config:
+    - name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-bash-local'
+      config:
+        timeoutMs: 5000
+    - name: './src/plugin-a.ts'
+
+- id: group-b
+  name: '@cordisjs/plugin-group'
+  group: true
+  isolate:
+    bash: true
+  config:
+    - name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-bash-local'
+      config:
+        timeoutMs: 60000
+    - name: './src/plugin-b.ts'
+```
+
+`plugin-a` 和 `plugin-b` 各自看到自己组内的 bash 实例，互不影响。`isolate: { bash: true }` 是必需的：不隔离的话，两个组在同一作用域注册同名服务，第二个会直接报重复注册错误。
+
+## Harness 内置服务一览
+
+| 服务名 | 提供者 | 用途 |
+|--------|--------|------|
+| `tools` | dsh-tools | Tool 注册表 |
+| `llm` | dsh-llm | LLM 调用 + 适配器注册 |
+| `agents` | dsh-agent | Agent 注册表 |
+| `agentLoop` | dsh-agent-loop | Agent 创建与循环执行 |

+# 能力的三层拆分
+
+当一个能力（插件）足够通用（比如"执行 bash 命令"），Harness 会把它拆成三个包：**接口**、**实现**、**消费者**。这样可以独立替换其中任何一层。
+
+## 以 Bash 为例
+
+考虑 "Bash 执行" 这个能力：
+
+- **接口** (`dsh-bash`) — 定义"bash 执行"长什么样：输入是什么、输出是什么
+- **实现** (`dsh-bash-local`) — 真正在本地跑命令的代码
+- **消费者** (`dsh-tool-bash`) — 把这个能力包装成模型能调用的 tool
+
+```
+┌─────────────┐     ┌──────────────────┐     ┌──────────────┐
+│  dsh-bash   │────▶│  dsh-bash-local  │     │ dsh-tool-bash│
+│  (接口)     │     │  (实现)          │     │ (消费者/tool)│
+└─────────────┘     └──────────────────┘     └──────────────┘
+       ▲                                            │
+       └────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+                    inject: ['bash']
+```
+
+## 拆分的好处
+
+### 具体实现可替换
+
+同一个接口可以有多种实现。用户通过 `cordis.yml` 选择：
+
+```yaml
+# 本地执行
+- name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-bash-local'
+
+# 或：远程沙箱执行（未来）
+# - name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-bash-remote'
+#   config:
+#     endpoint: 'https://sandbox.example.com'
+```
+
+接口不变、tool 不变，只换实现。
+
+### 独立演进
+
+- 接口定义稳定后很少改动
+- 实现可以独立优化（性能、安全）
+- 消费者（tool）可以调整对模型的呈现方式
+
+### 依赖解耦
+
+- 实现 depend on 接口
+- 消费者 depend on 接口
+- 实现和消费者**互不依赖**
+
+## Harness 中内置的三件套
+
+| 能力 | 接口 (seam) | 实现 | 消费者 (tool) |
+|------|-------------|------|---------------|
+| Bash | `dsh-bash` | `dsh-bash-local` | `dsh-tool-bash` |
+| 文件系统 | `dsh-fs` | `dsh-fs-local` + `dsh-fs-policy` | `dsh-tool-fs` |
+| Web | `dsh-web` | `dsh-web-fetch-local` / `dsh-web-search-*` | `dsh-tool-web` |
+| 子代理 | `dsh-subagent` | `dsh-subagent-spawn` / `dsh-subagent-fork` | `dsh-tool-subagent` |
+| 压缩 | `dsh-compact` | `dsh-compact-basic` | (内置于 agent-loop) |
+
+## 开发你自己的三件套
+
+### 第一步：定义接口
+
+```ts
+// packages/my-cap/my-cap/src/index.ts
+import { Service, type Context } from 'cordis'
+
+declare module 'cordis' {
+  interface Context {
+    myCap: MyCapService
+  }
+}
+
+export abstract class MyCapService extends Service {
+  constructor(ctx: Context) {
+    super(ctx, 'myCap')
+  }
+
+  /** 执行能力的核心方法 */
+  abstract execute(request: MyCapRequest): Promise<MyCapResult>
+}
+
+export interface MyCapRequest {
+  input: string
+}
+
+export interface MyCapResult {
+  output: string
+}
+```
+
+### 第二步：编写实现
+
+```ts ignore-check
+// packages/my-cap/my-cap-local/src/index.ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+import { MyCapService, type MyCapRequest, type MyCapResult } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-my-cap'
+
+class MyCapLocal extends MyCapService {
+  async execute(request: MyCapRequest): Promise<MyCapResult> {
+    // 具体实现
+    return { output: request.input.toUpperCase() }
+  }
+}
+
+export const name = 'my-cap-local'
+
+export function apply(ctx: Context) {
+  ctx.plugin(MyCapLocal)
+}
+```
+
+### 第三步：编写消费者 (tool)
+
+```ts
+// packages/my-cap/tool-my-cap/src/index.ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+import { defineTool } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tools'
+
+export const name = 'tool-my-cap'
+export const inject = ['tools', 'myCap']
+
+export function apply(ctx: Context) {
+  ctx.tools.register(defineTool({
+    name: 'my_cap',
+    description: 'Execute my capability.',
+    parameters: {
+      input: { type: 'string', required: true },
+    },
+    async execute(args) {
+      const result = await ctx.myCap.execute({ input: args.input })
+      return [{ type: 'text', text: result.output }]
+    },
+  }))
+}
+```
+
+### 在 cordis.yml 中组合
+
+```yaml ignore-check
+- name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-my-cap-local'
+- name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-my-cap'
+```
+
+## 设计要点
+
+- **不要预防性拆分** — 只有当你确实需要可替换实现时才拆三件套。一个简单的 tool 插件不需要拆分。
+- **接口定义 Request/Result 类型** — 实现和消费者只依赖接口包。
+- **Explicit > Implicit** — 实现中的默认值处理应该是显式的 `resolve(request): Spec` 步骤，不是隐藏在 `run()` 中的 `?? default`。
+
+## 下一步
+
+- [LLM 适配器](./llm-adapter) — 实现一个 LLM 后端（最常见的 seam 扩展）

+# LLM 适配器
+
+本文介绍如何为 Harness 接入一个新的 LLM 提供方。
+
+## 概述
+
+LLM 适配器是一个继承 `LlmAdapter` 的类，实现 `stream()` 方法，将 Harness 的统一请求格式转换为具体 API 的调用。
+
+## 最小实现
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+import { LlmAdapter, type GenerateOptions, type StreamChunk } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-llm'
+
+class MyAdapter extends LlmAdapter {
+  private apiKey: string
+
+  constructor(apiKey: string) {
+    super()
+    this.apiKey = apiKey
+  }
+
+  async *stream(options: GenerateOptions): AsyncIterable<StreamChunk> {
+    // 1. 将 options.messages 转换为你的 API 格式
+    // 2. 调用 API（流式）
+    // 3. 将 API 响应转换为 StreamChunk 序列
+  }
+}
+
+export interface Config {
+  apiKey: string
+  models: string[]
+}
+
+export const name = 'my-llm-adapter'
+export const inject = ['llm']
+
+export function apply(ctx: Context, config: Config) {
+  const adapter = new MyAdapter(config.apiKey)
+  ctx.llm.registerAdapter(config.models, adapter)
+}
+```
+
+## StreamChunk 协议
+
+`stream()` 必须按以下协议 yield chunk：
+
+```ts
+import { CallId, type StreamChunk } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-llm'
+
+async function* demo(): AsyncIterable<StreamChunk> {
+  // 1. 每个内容块以 block-start 开始
+  yield { type: 'block-start', index: 0, blockType: 'text' }
+
+  // 2. 文本块使用 text-delta
+  yield { type: 'text-delta', index: 0, text: 'Hello' }
+  yield { type: 'text-delta', index: 0, text: ' world' }
+
+  // 3. 每个内容块以 block-end 结束（携带完整 block）
+  yield {
+    type: 'block-end',
+    index: 0,
+    block: { type: 'text', text: 'Hello world' },
+  }
+
+  // 4. Tool call 块
+  yield { type: 'block-start', index: 1, blockType: 'tool-call' }
+  yield {
+    type: 'tool-call-delta',
+    index: 1,
+    id: CallId('call-123'),
+    name: 'bash',
+    argumentsDelta: '{"command":"ls"}',
+  }
+  yield {
+    type: 'block-end',
+    index: 1,
+    block: {
+      type: 'tool-call',
+      id: CallId('call-123'),
+      name: 'bash',
+      arguments: '{"command":"ls"}',
+    },
+  }
+
+  // 5. Token 用量
+  yield { type: 'usage', usage: { inputTokens: 100, outputTokens: 50 } }
+
+  // 6. 结束原因
+  yield { type: 'finish', reason: { kind: 'stop' } }
+  // 或: { kind: 'tool-calls' } 表示模型想调用 tool
+}
+```
+
+### 关键规则
+
+- 每个 `block-start` 必须有对应的 `block-end`
+- `index` 从 0 递增，标识内容块顺序
+- `tool-call-delta` 的 `argumentsDelta` 是 JSON 字符串的增量（可以一次 yield 全部，也可以分多次）
+- `finish` 必须是最后一个 chunk
+- `usage` 在 `finish` 之前 yield
+
+## GenerateOptions
+
+`stream()` 接收的请求包含：
+
+```ts
+import type { GenerateOptions } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-llm'
+
+declare const options: GenerateOptions
+
+options.model        // 模型名
+options.messages     // 对话历史 (Message[])
+options.tools        // 可用的 tool schema 列表 (ToolSchema[])
+options.system       // 系统提示词
+options.maxTokens    // 最大输出 token
+options.temperature  // 温度
+options.signal       // 取消信号（必须响应）
+```
+
+你的适配器需要将这些映射到具体 API 的参数。
+
+## 注册适配器
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+import type { LlmAdapter } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-llm'
+
+declare const ctx: Context
+declare const adapter: LlmAdapter
+
+ctx.llm.registerAdapter(['model-name-1', 'model-name-2'], adapter)
+```
+
+第一个参数是该适配器支持的模型名列表。当用户在 `cordis.yml` 中配置 `model: model-name-1` 时，框架会路由到这个适配器。
+
+## 在 cordis.yml 中使用
+
+```yaml
+- id: my-llm
+  name: './src/my-llm-adapter.ts'
+  config:
+    apiKey: !!js process.env.MY_API_KEY
+    models:
+      - my-model-v1
+      - my-model-v2
+
+- id: stdio-agent
+  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-stdio-demo'
+  config:
+    model: my-model-v1  # 引用上面注册的模型名
+```
+
+## 实战参考
+
+仓库中有两个完整实现可供参考：
+
+- `packages/llm/llm-deepseek/` — DeepSeek API 适配器（OpenAI 兼容格式）
+- `packages/llm/llm-pi-ai/` — Pi AI 适配器（不同的 API 格式）
+- `examples/echo-agent/src/mock-llm.ts` — 最简 mock 适配器（教学用）
+
+mock 适配器是学习 StreamChunk 协议的最佳起点——它用纯本地逻辑演示了完整的 chunk 序列。
+
+## 错误处理
+
+适配器中的异常会被 agent-loop 捕获并转化为 `LlmError`，告知上层。不需要在 `stream()` 内部做错误恢复——让异常冒泡即可。
+
+```ts

+# 配置文件
+
+Harness 使用 `cordis.yml` 描述一个 Agent 加载哪些插件、以什么参数运行。
+
+## 从例子开始
+
+### echo-agent 的配置
+
+这是一开始的第一个 Agent 的完整配置：
+
+```yaml
+# 热替换：修改代码后自动重载，不用手动重启
+- id: hmr
+  name: '@cordisjs/plugin-hmr'
+  config:
+    root: ['.']
+
+# Mock 模型：从本地 `.ts` 文件加载，注册一个名为 `mock-llm` 的工具
+# 本地模拟 LLM 响应，不联网
+- id: mock-llm
+  name: './src/mock-llm.ts'
+
+# Echo 工具：收到文本后转大写返回
+- id: echo-tool
+  name: './src/echo-tool.ts'
+
+# Bash 执行器：从 npm 包 `@deepseek-ai/dsh-bash-local`加载，提供 bash 命令执行能力
+- id: bash
+  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-bash-local'
+
+# 应用主体：把 session 管理、tool 调度、agent loop 等组装成一个可交互的终端 Agent
+# 只需告诉它用哪个模型 (`model`)、什么人设 (`persona`)
+- id: stdio-agent
+  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-stdio-demo'
+  config:
+    model: mock-echo
+    persona: 'You are echo-agent, a demo agent.'
+    welcome: 'echo-agent ready. Type a message ("echo <text>" triggers the tool).'
+    persistenceRoot: './.sessions'
+```
+
+### coding-agent 的配置
+
+真实场景——接入 DeepSeek API，带完整工具链：
+
+```yaml
+# 热替换：同上，开发时自动重载
+- id: hmr
+  name: '@cordisjs/plugin-hmr'
+  config:
+    root: ['.']
+
+# LLM 后端：从 npm 包加载，具备接入 DeepSeek API 能力
+# `!!js` 从环境变量读取密钥，不会写进配置文件
+# `models` 声明该适配器能处理哪些模型名
+- id: llm-deepseek
+  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-llm-deepseek'
+  config:
+    apiKey: !!js process.env.DEEPSEEK_API_KEY
+    baseURL: !!js process.env.DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL
+    models:
+      - deepseek-v4-pro
+      - deepseek-v4-flash
+
+# Bash 执行器：让 Agent 能跑 shell 命令
+# timeoutMs 设置单条命令的超时时间
+- id: bash
+  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-bash-local'
+  config:
+    timeoutMs: 60000
+
+# 应用主体：和 echo-agent 一样的框架，只是配置不同
+# `model` 指定默认使用哪个模型（要和上面 models 列表里的名字对应）
+# `persona` 是系统提示词，{{model}} 会被替换为实际模型名
+# `resumeSessionId` 设了就恢复旧对话，没设就每次新建
+- id: stdio-agent
+  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-stdio-demo'
+  config:
+    model: deepseek-v4-flash
+    resumeSessionId: !!js process.env.RESUME_SESSION_ID
+    persistenceRoot: './.sessions'
+    welcome: 'agent REPL ready. Give it a coding task.'
+    persona: |
+      You are coding-agent, a coding assistant powered by the {{model}} model.
+      Verify your work by running the code or tests. Keep answers brief and factual.
+
+# Token 计量：统一定义模型能看到的 token 上限
+- id: token-meter
+  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-token-meter'
+  config:
+    contextWindow: 128000
+
+# 自动压缩：对话太长时自动总结旧内容，腾出上下文空间
+# thresholdRatio 超过这个比例就触发压缩
+# compactionRetries 是压缩后仍超标时的额外重试次数
+- id: compact-basic
+  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-compact-basic'
+  config:
+    thresholdRatio: 0.8
+    retainTokens: 20480
+    maxTokens: 8192
+    compactionRetries: 1
+
+# 子代理：把子任务分配给独立的 Agent 去做
+# subagent 是服务注册，spawn/fork 是两种委派方式：
+#   spawn — 全新子代理，不知道父级在聊什么
+#   fork  — 继承父级对话上下文的子代理
+# tool-subagent 把委派能力暴露给模型，toolName 是模型看到的工具名
+- id: subagent
+  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-subagent'
+
+- id: subagent-spawn
+  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-subagent-spawn'
+  config:
+    providerName: spawn
+
+- id: subagent-fork
+  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-subagent-fork'
+  config:
+    providerName: fork
+
+- id: tool-subagent

+    provider: spawn
+    toolName: subagent
+
+- id: tool-subagent-fork
+  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-subagent'
+  config:
+    provider: fork
+    toolName: subagent_fork
+
+# 动态工作流：模型编写一段编排脚本，引擎在独立 worker 线程里运行它，
+# 并通过上面的 spawn 后端把 agent() 调用分发为子代理
+- id: workflow-workerthread
+  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-workflow-workerthread'
+  config:
+    provider: spawn
+
+- id: tool-workflow
+  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-workflow'
+
+# 任务追踪：模型可以用 todo_write 记录和更新任务清单
+- id: tool-todo
+  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-todo'
+
+# 文件系统：让 Agent 能读写编辑文件
+# fs-local 提供本地文件操作能力，cwd 是工作目录
+# fs-policy 是安全策略——必须先读才能写，防止模型盲写
+# tool-fs 把能力暴露给模型（read / write / edit 三个工具）
+- id: fs-local
+  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-fs-local'
+  config:
+    cwd: !!js process.cwd()
+
+- id: fs-policy
+  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-fs-policy'
+
+- id: tool-fs
+  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-fs'
+```
+
+和 echo-agent 对比：同一个 `dsh-stdio-demo` 应用主体，只是把 mock 换成了真实 API，加上了更多工具插件。

+:::
+
+---
+
+## 加载顺序
+
+`cordis.yml` 的条目是**并发启动**的（loader 对全部条目 `Promise.all`），文件顺序不决定加载顺序。真正的先后关系由依赖协调：插件声明的 `inject` 服务就绪之前，插件不会启动；服务出现后自动继续。所以**不要依赖书写顺序传递时序**——需要"先有 A 再有 B"就让 B `inject` A 提供的服务。
+
+文件顺序只是给人读的。推荐按角色分组书写：
+
+1. **hmr** — 热替换（仅开发时需要）
+2. **LLM 适配器** — 模型后端
+3. **执行器** — bash、fs 等能力提供者
+4. **应用主体** — `dsh-stdio-demo` 或 `dsh-acp-demo`
+5. **附加插件** — compact、subagent、todo 等
+
+应用主体内部已经捆绑了核心能力（session、tools、agent-loop），不需要手动加载。

+# 介绍
+
+DeepSeek Harness 是一个**插件化的 Agent 开发框架**，基于 [Cordis](https://github.com/cordiverse/cordis) 微内核构建。它的核心理念是：**一切皆插件**。
+
+## 它是什么
+
+Harness 将一个 AI Agent（智能体） 所需要的所有能力——LLM 调用、工具执行、会话管理、子任务分配——全部构建为可组合的插件。你通过一个 `cordis.yml` 配置文件来声明加载哪些插件、使用什么参数，就能组装出一个完整的 Agent。
+
+```yaml
+# 选择 LLM 后端
+- name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-llm-deepseek'
+  config:
+    apiKey: !!js process.env.DEEPSEEK_API_KEY
+
+# 选择应用模板
+- name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-stdio-demo'
+  config:
+    model: deepseek-v4-flash
+```
+
+## 适合谁
+
+### 应用使用者
+
+如果你只是想用一个现成的 Agent 应用（如编程助手、对话代理），你需要的全部操作就是：
+
+1. 复制一个 example 模板
+2. 填写 API key
+3. 运行
+
+不需要写任何代码。详见 [快速开始](./quickstart)。
+
+### 插件开发者
+
+如果你想为 Agent 添加新能力——一个自定义 tool、一个新的 LLM 适配器、一个新的执行后端——你需要编写一个插件。Harness 提供了清晰的扩展接口和类型安全的开发体验。详见 [开发](../develop/basic/)。
+
+## 核心特性
+
+- **只需要配置** — `cordis.yml` 决定能力集合，换模型、加工具只需改一行
+- **随时替换 (HMR)** — 开发时修改插件代码，无需重启进程
+
+## 技术栈
+
+- **运行时**: Node.js >= 24
+- **语言**: TypeScript (ESM)
+- **框架**: Cordis
+- **包管理**: pnpm workspaces

+# 快速开始
+
+本指南带你在 5 分钟内跑起一个 Agent。
+
+## 环境准备
+
+- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) >= 24
+- [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/) >= 9
+
+```sh
+# 确认版本
+node -v   # v24.x 或更高
+pnpm -v   # 9.x 或更高
+```
+
+## 第一步：运行 echo-agent
+
+echo-agent 不需要 API key，装好依赖就能跑。
+
+```sh
+# 克隆仓库
+git clone https://github.com/deepseek-harness/deepseek-harness.git
+cd deepseek-harness
+
+# 安装依赖
+pnpm install
+# 如果看到 ERR_PNPM_IGNORED_BUILDS，可以忽略——安装已经成功了。
+# 想消除这个提示可以跑一次: pnpm approve-builds
+
+# 启动 echo-agent
+pnpm run demo:echo
+```
+
+启动后你会看到：
+
+```
+echo-agent ready. Type a message ("echo <text>" triggers the tool).
+>
+```
+
+试着输入：
+
+```
+> echo hello world
+```
+
+你会看到模型发起了一次 tool call（工具调用），echo 工具将文本转为大写并返回：
+
+```
+[tool call] echo({"text":"hello world"})
+[tool result] ECHO: HELLO WORLD
+```
+
+恭喜！环境没问题。
+
+## 第二步：使用真实模型调用
+
+接下来接入真实的 DeepSeek 模型，跑一个完整的命令行 Agent。
+
+### 获取 API Key
+
+前往 [DeepSeek Platform](https://platform.deepseek.com/) 获取你的 API key。
+
+### 配置环境变量
+
+在仓库根目录创建 `.env` 文件（已被 gitignore）：
+
+```sh
+DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-your-key-here
+```
+
+### 启动 coding-agent
+
+```sh
+pnpm run demo:repl
+```
+
+```
+agent REPL ready. Give it a coding task.
+>
+```
+
+这就是一个完整的编程助手，它能读写文件、跑命令、拆分子任务。
+
+试着给它一个任务：
+
+```
+> 在当前目录创建一个 hello.js，内容是打印 "Hello from Harness!"，然后运行它
+```
+
+## 回头看
+
+echo-agent 和 coding-agent 用的是同一个应用框架(`@deepseek-ai/dsh-stdio-demo`)，区别只在 `cordis.yml`——换了哪些插件、填了什么配置。你以后定制自己的 Agent 也是同样的方式。
+
+## 下一步
+
+- [配置文件](./config) — 了解 `cordis.yml` 的完整语法
+- [开发插件](../develop/basic/) — 编写你自己的 tool 或后端
