 ### The request envelope: `LlmCallConfig` and the logged header
 
-Requests are built by the loop, not shaped per call: the non-content half of a request — the `EpochHeader`: this call configuration plus the rendered system prompt and assembled tool schemas — is logged session state (`request/header` snapshot and delta events, [session.md](session.md#the-request-header-events-requestheader-and-requestheader-delta)), so every conversation request is a pure function of the session log ([reconstructability RFC](../rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-05-reconstructable-requests.md)). The `agent/request` waterfall receives a frozen `LlmCallConfig` seed and a listener returns a replacement to switch model or sampling — the loop logs whatever the request actually uses. Loop-built requests arrive at `llm/stream` deep-frozen; mutation throws.
+Requests are built by the loop, not shaped per call: the non-content half of a request — the `EpochHeader`: this call configuration plus the rendered system prompt and the tool schemas in the assembly's canonical order (dsh-system-prompt's `toolOrder` config, lexicographic when unset) — is logged session state (`request/header` snapshot and delta events, [session.md](session.md#the-request-header-events-requestheader-and-requestheader-delta)), so every conversation request is a pure function of the session log ([reconstructability RFC](../rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-05-reconstructable-requests.md)).

 FIXME(call-config-shape): revisit the exact definition of this type — which fields are genuinely epoch-level for cache purposes (`model` certainly; the sampling scalars sit here out of caution), and where provider-specific extras (reasoning options, extra body params) belong when an adapter needs them.

 Call `next()` to delegate to the default (allow / accept-unchanged), or return a decision to short-circuit. A `pre-execute` `deny` (or `ask`, which degrades to deny until the permission system lands) skips dispatch and yields an `isError` result; input rewrite is deliberately NOT offered on `PreToolDecision` (it would desync the pre-execution audit/history/UI from what ran — its own proposed RFC). A `post-execute` `accept` may replace the model-facing `content` (clean, because `tool/result` is logged after `execute()` returns); a `block` turns the call into an `isError` whose content is the corrective `feedback`. Core dispatch sits between the waterfalls as plain code; the tool body keeps its own try/catch so a thrown tool still reaches `post-execute` as an `isError`. An unregistered tool routes through the same catch as a tool-thrown error, so both failure classes get a structured `{ name, code }` (`ToolNotFoundError` → `UNKNOWN_TOOL`) — the loop records a failed tool call instead of failing the whole turn.
 
+## The structured-output schema subset
+
+The vocabulary a caller uses to demand a machine-readable result from a subagent (`SubagentStartRequest.outputSchema`, [subagent.md](subagent.md#the-start-request)) or a workflow `agent()` call. It is deliberately NOT full JSON Schema: the schema travels verbatim to the model as a forced tool's `parameters`, and the produced value is validated client-side by `validateStructuredValue` — so every accepted keyword must be one the validator actually enforces, and `assertSupportedOutputSchema` rejects anything else loud (`OutputSchemaError`, listing every violation). Both walkers reason over own enumerable properties only (JSON carries nothing else) and reject non-plain objects (`Date`, `Map`) that would serialize lossily.

 ## Tool-presentation UI vocabulary
 
 How a tool wants its call shown in a UI (an editor tool-call card, a CLI log line), provider-neutral so a tool describes itself without depending on any client protocol. `presentCall`/`presentResult` return a **`card`-tagged render intent** — a discriminated union a UI bridge switches on:

-`WebService` (`ctx.web`, defined in [`packages/web/web/src/index.ts`](../../packages/web/web/src/index.ts)) is a provider registry plus a provider-selecting execution surface, close to `LlmService`'s shape: `registerSearchProvider`/`registerFetchProvider` (duplicate ids throw `WEB_DUPLICATE_PROVIDER`, return disposers) and `search`/`fetch` (resolve the provider at call time, throw a structured `WebError` when the capability cannot run). Providers issue requests with the platform-native `fetch` (Node 24), mirroring `dsh-llm-deepseek`; the `dsh-web-fetch-local` provider owns safe retrieval (http/https-only, credential rejection, byte/char/timeout/redirect caps, same-origin-only redirects with per-hop re-validation, charset decoding) while `dsh-tool-web` owns presentation (HTML→markdown). SSRF / private-network blocking is deferred (see the RFC) — until it lands, `web_fetch` must not be enabled where it can reach sensitive internal targets.
