## Managed shell environment namespace
`DSH_*` variables are Harness-owned child-process facts. The model-facing bash tool collects them through `ctx.bashEnv` and passes them through `BashExecRequest.dshEnv`; executors remove inherited `DSH_*` names before merging the current snapshot.

## Request vs. spec: the `resolve()` split
The seam separates the **model-/plugin-facing request** (optional `workdir`/`timeoutMs`, filled from config) from the **fully-resolved spec** the executor acts on (those fields required). The tool layer calls `ctx.bash.resolve(request)` between them — this is the repo's "explicit > implicit at package seams" rule made concrete: the reader of a `BashExecSpec` never wonders where the working directory came from.

`stdin` and `env` are trusted in-process plugin inputs and are not exposed by `dsh-tool-bash`. The local executor scrubs ambient credentials before merging explicit caller-supplied env. See [the bash-stdin-env RFC](../rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-30-bash-stdin-env-trusted-plugin-surface.md).
`stdoutMaxBytes` is also trusted-plugin-only. It lets a foreground consumer request complete stdout up to a bounded parser budget without changing stderr, background tasks, or the model-facing bash tool's ordinary output cap.
## Foreground runs: `BashRunResult`
The outcome of one completed (or killed) foreground run. Orthogonal outcomes are reported **independently** — a process can both time out AND exit 0 because it trapped the signal — so `timedOut`, `aborted`, `signal`, and `exitCode` are each their own field; a caller never reads a cut-short run as a clean success.

The pre-step caller supplies the agent, full prompt, session prefix, and abort signal; implementations must forward that signal to summarization. The seam owns no pricing API: [`ctx.tokenMeter`](token-meter.md) directly owns estimation and replay, while `dsh-compact-basic` owns retention, event sequencing, routed summarization calls, and their configuration.
Auto-compaction runs at serial `agent/pre-step`, before the step and request derivation, so it can replace surface nodes while keeping trace events outside the step. Region boundaries preserve tool-call/result pairing but do not preserve whole turns, allowing early closed steps of one oversized turn to compact. `dsh-compact-basic` owns the retention and failure details.
The seam exports `toolPairingBalancedBefore(session, seq)` and `toolPairingBalancedAfter(session, seq)` for those edge checks. Both validate current surface membership and reject missing seqs and orphan results; the [package contract](../../packages/compact/compact/README.md#tool-pairing-boundaries) owns their cache semantics.

Together with derived history, this makes the request reconstructable from the session log.

On the wire, a loop-built request reads in this order: the `system` slot (the rendered prompt assembly) → `messagePrefix` (the frozen session prefix) → the derived history — the boundary snapshot, whose tail is the newest `user/message` on a turn's first step and the previous step's tool results on later steps. The prefix never enters the derived history; its durable record is the header events, and the dev invariant recomputes exactly this equation against every loop-built request.

- **Tool-call `arguments` stay raw JSON strings end-to-end.** Partial fragments stream via `argumentsDelta`; a provider that hands back parsed objects re-stringifies at `block-end`.
- **Two sanctioned error paths.** A failure may either THROW from `stream()` (transport/protocol errors) **or** end the stream with `finish {kind:'error'|'aborted'}` (provider in-band errors, for adapters that can't throw mid-stream). Consumers must handle *both*. The agent loop translates a finish-error/aborted into a turn error — it never logs a normal completed assistant message for a failed step.
- **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.
This contract is why two adapters exist as a deliberate pair: `dsh-llm-deepseek` (hand-rolled fetch/SSE) and `dsh-llm-pi-ai` (the same endpoint through `@earendil-works/pi-ai`). Two independent internals over one contract is what pinned the protocol down — the library-backed adapter can't throw mid-stream, so it exercises the finish-chunk error path the hand-rolled one might not.

A consumer that needs the assembled result without re-implementing the fold uses this.
`BlockAssembler` ([`packages/llm/llm/src/assembler.ts`](../../packages/llm/llm/src/assembler.ts)) is the single shared implementation that folds a `StreamChunk` stream back into `ContentBlock`s, usage, finish reason, and replay state. The loop logs the raw chunks while feeding the same chunks through an assembler, then stores the assembled assistant content with its provider/model provenance. A consumer that needs the assembled result without re-implementing the fold uses this.
## The seam
`LlmAdapter` is the provider seam: subclass, implement `stream()`, register with `ctx.llm.registerAdapter(models, adapter)`. The `block-start` / `block-end` `index` correlation and the assembler together mean an adapter only has to emit well-formed chunks — block reassembly is not each adapter's problem. The consumer surface (`ctx.llm.stream()`) and the `llm/stream` waterfall are described in [architecture.md § Content blocks and streaming](../architecture.md#content-blocks-and-streaming-dsh-llm).
`LlmAdapter` is the provider seam: subclass, implement `stream()`, and register one adapter instance with `ctx.llm.registerAdapter(providers, adapter)`. `GenerateOptions.provider` selects the registered adapter; `GenerateOptions.model` is passed to that adapter and need not be registered at lifecycle start. Duplicate provider routes fail atomically. Optional `providerInfo()` and asynchronous `listModels()` methods feed `LlmService.listProviders()` / `listModels()` with detached selector metadata. That catalog is advisory rather than a request whitelist: the adapter remains authoritative and may accept unlisted model ids. Adapter lookup happens at the terminal continuation of the `llm/stream` waterfall, so a listener may short-circuit the call or route a mutable one-shot request before lookup.

The **durability seam** for the event log. [session.md](session.md) describes the in-memory `Session` — the append-only `SessionEvent` log that is the source of truth. This page describes how that log is made durable: the abstract `SessionPersistence` service, its backends, the flush checkpoint, crash recovery, and the metadata header that travels alongside the log. The event vocabulary the log carries is enumerated, member by member, in the generated [persistence log event catalog](../persistence-catalog.md).
The seam is a textbook [capability seam](../rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-13-capability-seams.md): one abstract service ([dsh-session-persistence](../../packages/session-persistence/session-persistence), `ctx.sessionPersistence`) defining create/append/load/list over the existing `SessionEvent`**no parallel persisted type** — and two interchangeable backends that pass the same `runPersistenceContract` suite.

@@ -12,6 +12,19 @@ The seam is a textbook [capability seam](../rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06
A backend that reloads a log crashed mid-turn finds an open `turn/start` with no `turn/end`. 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. Instead it closes the orphaned turn with a synthetic `turn/end { reason: { kind: 'interrupted' } }`, keeping the log balanced and the turn-enclosure invariant intact. `interrupted` is the one `TurnEndReason` no loop emits (see [session.md](session.md#why-a-turn-ended-turnendreasonmap)).
## `SessionLocation` — optional per-session artifact target
`SessionPersistence.locate(meta)` synchronously resolves a backend-owned independent artifact without reading, creating, or flushing it. JSONL returns its absolute target path; SQLite returns `undefined` because sessions share one database. A returned path can therefore name a file that does not yet exist or lacks the current unflushed turn; it is a location hint, not authorization or a freshness guarantee.

# 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`.

# Token Meter
`@deepseek-ai/dsh-token-meter` exposes one detached replay snapshot for request pressure and positional surface pricing. `logRevision` is the number of durable events consumed for every field in the measurement.
Source: [`packages/llm/token-meter/src/types.ts`](../../packages/llm/token-meter/src/types.ts)
## `TokenMeasurement`
```ts type-equiv
interface TokenMeasurement {
/** Number of durable events consumed; equal to the next unread event seq. */
readonly logRevision: number
/** Provider or heuristic anchor used for this measurement. */
readonly baseline: TokenMeasurementBaseline
/** Signed repricing of current surface content relative to the baseline anchor. */
readonly surfaceDeltaTokens: number
/** Non-negative current request-and-response pressure. */
readonly totalTokens: number
/** Total heuristic tokens across the current surface. */
readonly surfaceTokens: number
/** Current surface nodes in positional head-to-tail order. */
readonly nodes: readonly TokenSurfaceNode[]
}
```
`baseline.kind === 'usage'` means the latest successful provider call has the same canonical request envelope and its total is no lower than that call's full heuristic anchor. `estimated` means no reusable conservative usage anchor exists, so the service priced the complete envelope and surface with its fixed heuristic. A later successful request replaces the earlier anchor; signed `surfaceDeltaTokens` preserves growth and shrinkage relative to a matching anchor. `totalTokens` remains request-and-response pressure, while `surfaceTokens` is the surface-only heuristic total and equals the sum of the node prices.
## `TokenSurfaceNode`
```ts type-equiv
interface TokenSurfaceNode {
/** Durable sequence number of the surface event. */
readonly seq: number
/** Heuristic tokens for the exact message projected by this node. */
readonly tokens: number
}
```
Surface order is authoritative; replacement nodes can have higher durable seqs than later positional nodes. The snapshot is immutable and does not grow when the underlying replay fold advances.

Call `next()` for the default or return a decision to short-circuit.
