+# Agent Notes
+
+One kind of design doc lives here. An **Agent Note** records a decision or proposal that shapes this codebase — the *why* and *what we gave up*, the parts code and docs can't carry. This file is the front door and contract: where Agent Notes live, when to write one, and [the in-file format](#the-file-format).
+
+## Layout and naming
+
+Every Agent Note has two axes, both encoded in its **path** — `{lifecycle}/{class}/yyyy-mm-dd-topic-title.md`:
+
+- **Lifecycle** (the top-level folder) is the Agent Note's status, and an Agent Note moves between folders as that status changes:
+  - **`proposed/`** — proposals reviewed before implementation; not yet built (or only partly).
+  - **`implemented/`** — the decision shipped. The file records what was decided and what was rejected, and is **kept current with what actually shipped**: when the code later moves a file, renames a package, or changes a key/default, the Agent Note is updated in the same change to match (facts only — paths, names, structure — not the decision itself). See [implemented/AGENTS.md](implemented/AGENTS.md).
+  - **`rejected/`** — the proposal was considered and declined. Kept for the record so the rejection isn't re-litigated.
+- **Class** (the nested folder) is the *kind* of decision — see [Classification](#classification) below.
+
+The date in the filename is when the topic was **first proposed** (per git history). Cross-references between Agent Notes use relative markdown links (`[topic](../../implemented/architecture/2026-…-….md)`) — never bare prose or numbers — so they are mechanically checkable and survive moves between folders.
+
+The tree is the inventory: browse its lifecycle/class folders or search the repository. Do not add a centralized `INDEX.md`; the [no-index Agent Note](implemented/process/2026-07-19-remove-generated-agent-note-index.md) owns the rationale.
+
+## Classification
+
+Each Agent Note belongs to one path-encoded class from the closed set in `scripts/agent-note-tree.ts`; the classification gate rejects other folders. Adding a class requires updating the canonical set and this section. See the [classification Agent Note](implemented/process/2026-06-20-agent-note-classification.md).
+
+| Class | What it covers |
+|---|---|
+| `feature` | A new user- or model-facing capability. |
+| `bug-fix` | Corrects a defect or closes a gap a postmortem surfaced. |
+| `simplification` | Removes code, behavior, or surface area without adding a capability. |
+| `architecture` | A structural decision about the **shipped source** — how packages relate, what the runtime vocabulary is. |
+| `process` | Tooling, policy, or workflow **around** the code — gates, the package manager, vendoring — not runtime behavior. |
+| `testing` | Test infrastructure and strategy. |
+
+The `architecture` / `process` line: **architecture** is about the source we ship; **process** is the surrounding tooling and workflow. (`refactor` is deliberately absent — it overlaps `simplification`, whose discriminator, "does observable behavior change?", already covers it.)
+
+## When to write one
+
+Every non-trivial change MUST add or update at least one Agent Note in the same PR. A change is non-trivial when it alters behavior, architecture, a cross-file or cross-package contract, process or tooling, testing strategy, an on-disk, wire, or configuration format, or another decision a maintainer may reasonably revisit. A proposal for substantial future work starts in `proposed/`; a decision already made starts in `implemented/`. Pick the class folder that matches the decision (see [Classification](#classification)).
+
+Updating the Agent Note that already owns the decision satisfies the rule; do not create a duplicate. Only a purely mechanical or local edit with no behavioral, contractual, structural, process, or rationale change is exempt. An Agent Note is never edited into a *different decision*: supersede it with a new one and cross-link. Editing an `implemented/` Agent Note to track where its existing decision lives is required, not forbidden; see [implemented/AGENTS.md](implemented/AGENTS.md).
+
+## The file format
+
+Every Agent Note follows one in-file format, enforced by `pnpm run verify-agent-note-format` ([scripts/verify-agent-note-format.ts](../../scripts/verify-agent-note-format.ts), part of `doc-sync`); the rationale for the format — and the alternatives it rejected — is [the uniform-format Agent Note](implemented/process/2026-07-05-uniform-agent-note-format.md).
+
+### The header block
+
+The first three lines of every Agent Note are exactly:
+
+```markdown
+# Agent Note: <title>
+
+Status: <status>
+```
+
+followed by a blank line. The `Status:` value is one of three forms, and must agree with the lifecycle folder the file sits in — the gate cross-checks them:
+
+- `Status: proposed`
+- `Status: implemented`
+- `Status: rejected — <why, in one line>`
+
+The status carries no dates and no parentheticals: the filename holds the first-proposed date, git holds everything else, and an "accepted in amended form" note is body content (state the amendment where the decision is stated). The rejection reason is the one status with content, because a rejected Agent Note's verdict is the fact readers come for.
+
+### The body skeleton
+
+Every Agent Note opens its body with `## Problem` — the motivation, written to stand without the solution. What follows depends on the lifecycle; recurring sections use these canonical names and nothing else, while genuinely bespoke technical sections (package topology, wire contracts, schemas) remain free-form between the required ones.
+
+#### `proposed/`
+
+```markdown
+## Problem
+## Proposal
+…bespoke sections…
+## Alternatives considered
+## Acceptance criteria
+## Risks
+```
+
+`## Proposal` is the intended change and may legitimately speak in the future tense — plans, migration steps, and open questions belong here while the work is unbuilt. `## Acceptance criteria` says what observable state means done. `## Risks` covers both what could go wrong and what the change knowingly gives up.
+
+#### `implemented/`
+
+```markdown
+## Problem
+## Decision
+…bespoke sections…
+## Alternatives considered
+## Consequences
+```
+
+`## Decision` describes shipped reality in the present tense, and the whole file is kept current with it per [implemented/AGENTS.md](implemented/AGENTS.md). `## Consequences` records what the trade-off cost **and** bought. Proposal-era headings are spec-speak here and the gate rejects them: `## Proposal`, `## Plan`, `## Migration plan`, and `## Acceptance criteria` may not appear in an implemented Agent Note (the [slop checklist](../../docs/AGENTS.md) names why). A `## Testing`, `## Deferred`, or `## Related` section is fine where it states present-tense fact.
+
+#### `rejected/`
+
+A rejected Agent Note is the proposal, frozen: it keeps whatever proposal-time sections it had (including `## Acceptance criteria` or `## Plan`), and the verdict lives on the `Status:` line. Only the header block, the `## Problem` opener, a `## Proposal` section, and the Alternatives-considered mandate below apply.
+
+### Alternatives considered — mandatory
+
+Every Agent Note carries an `## Alternatives considered` section: each genuine alternative and why it lost, one bold-led paragraph per alternative or a `### Why not <X>?` subsection per contested one. A decision recorded without what it beat invites re-litigation — the failure Agent Notes exist to prevent.
+
+Alternatives are recorded, never invented. An Agent Note dated before 2026-07-05 whose alternatives are not reconstructible from the record carries this exact comment in place of the section, which the gate accepts for pre-format files only:
+
+```markdown
+<!-- agent-note-format: alternatives-not-recorded (pre-format Agent Note) -->
+```
+
+### Moving between lifecycles
+
+Moving a file between lifecycle folders means updating the `Status:` line and re-satisfying that folder's skeleton in the same change — the gate fails the move otherwise. Concretely, `proposed/` → `implemented/` rewrites `## Proposal` into a present-tense `## Decision`, folds `## Acceptance criteria` and `## Risks` into `## Consequences` (or a present-tense `## Testing`/`## Verification` section for what now pins the behavior), and drops plans in favor of what shipped — the rewrite [implemented/AGENTS.md](implemented/AGENTS.md) requires, made mechanical. `proposed/` → `rejected/` only adds the reason to the `Status:` line and freezes the file.
+
+### Chinese counterparts
+
+A `.zh.md` counterpart mirrors its English sibling's structure section-for-section under the [i18n contract](../../docs/i18n/README.md); the machine-checked header tokens (`# Agent Note: ` and the `Status:` line) stay in English verbatim. The format gate skips `.zh.md` files — the pairing gate owns their consistency.

[The observation-surface Agent Note](../simplification/2026-07-04-drop-unconsumed-web-observation-surface.md) records that judgment: derived-on-call selection and enablement-based registration leave no consumer that needs a change signal or an availability probe distinct from executing and routing the error, and a future provider-status panel reintroduces the smallest signal or query it actually consumes.

 - **Event indirection over a method call.** A waterfall + emit is less direct than `await ctx.fileContext.edit(...)`. The payoff is removing the tool-to-policy method dependency while keeping the default policy plugin; the cost is one more event vocabulary to learn. Mitigated by keeping the three events narrow and documenting the default-thunk semantics on each.
 - **Policy events in the storage seam.** `dsh-fs` gains two version-decision events plus a recording event though it is "just storage". This is the price of decoupling (the emitter cannot depend on the policy plugin). The events carry only `dsh-fs` vocabulary plus an opaque `object` actor and no model-facing concepts, so the seam stays free of line-window/observation policy types and of the agent/session owner structure.
- **Single policy occupant, first-wins by convention.** The `fs/write-intent`/`fs/edit-intent` slots hold exactly one decider; the first-registered (or `prepend`ed) listener wins and the rest are short-circuited. `dsh-fs-policy` owning the slot is a deployment convention, not an event-enforced invariant — a second decider registered first would bypass it. This is acceptable because a second fs-version-policy decider is a misconfiguration, not a feature. If a future need for *layered* fs version policy appears, it is a new RFC (a composable value-passing seam), not a silent second listener on these events.

 - **The bare provider does no read-before-write/edit and no version check.** A deployment without `dsh-fs-policy` lets the model overwrite or edit any existing file unconditionally. This is the deliberate meaning of keeping the tool independent of a policy service: the safety disciplines live in the `dsh-fs-policy` plugin.

 ## Consequences

 - The loop no longer emits any boundary mirror; `closeStep` appends `step/end` only and `closeTurn` appends `turn/end` only. `Session.append` owns post-commit observer containment, so a throwing boundary observer cannot change the turn outcome or starve later consumers; an acceptance or internal validation failure still escapes before the boundary enters the log.
 - Tests that observed boundaries via the removed emits now observe the durable `turn/start`/`turn/end`/`step/start`/`step/end` session events — the behavior they pin (boundary ordering, step counting) is unchanged; only the feed they read moved to the canonical one. The tests that exercised a *throwing turn-boundary emit listener* were deleted, because that code path no longer exists (there is no emit to throw from). Per [AGENTS.md "tests document behavior, not golden truth"](../../../../AGENTS.md), the behavior and its test moved (or died) together.
 - The loop marks the step open (`stepOpen = true`) only after `append('step/start')` returns. Internal dispatch validation runs before the log push and may reject without opening a step; post-commit `session/event` observer failures are contained inside `Session.append`. The marker therefore represents exactly the committed boundary that owes a later `step/end`.
- The full realization of this is [the simplification RFC "Stop mirroring durable boundaries as agent events"](../simplification/2026-06-20-remove-agent-boundary-mirror-events.md): all four boundary mirrors are removed and every consumer reads boundaries off `session/event`. `agent/steering` (not a boundary mirror) stayed outside that RFC's scope and was removed by its own follow-up, [Remove the `agent/steering` mirror emit](../simplification/2026-07-04-remove-agent-steering-mirror.md) — it mirrored the durable `steering/message`.

 - Consumers deriving state from a named provider react to `subagent/provider-added`/`-removed` instead of reading the registry at `apply` time; `dsh-tool-subagent` is the reference implementation.

-The [timeout/deadline RFC](2026-07-06-timeout-deadline-library.md) extracted the timing-and-classification primitive into `@deepseek-ai/dsh-timeout`, but timeout policy was still attached to individual capabilities and model-facing schemas. `bash` exposed `timeoutMs`; `web_fetch` exposed `timeout_ms`; `web_search` had no model-facing timeout even though providers already honor `exec.signal`; a future grep/glob tool would either import the timeout library directly or invent its own timeout policy. That is the wrong authoring shape for a plugin SDK: a tool author should normally forward `exec.signal` to the implementation it calls, and deployment policy should decide the budget.

 At the same time, not every timeout in the repo is a model-facing tool-call budget. Hooks execute command hooks by calling `ctx.bash` directly, not through `ctx.tools.execute()`, and the `bash` model tool multiplexes foreground execution, background start, background polling, and hook reuse through the same backend. Moving every timeout into a tool plugin in one step would conflate those paths and risk breaking hook timeout semantics.

 ## Problem

-In the registry's native presentation, the agent loop advertises every visible capability as a JSON-schema function definition. `ToolRegistry` contributes its schemas to the system-prompt assembly, the assembly's `tools` land on the wire (and in the logged request header), the model invokes one `tool-call` block per step, and the loop dispatches each call through `ctx.tools.execute()` **sequentially** (parallel tool execution is an explicit open TODO in `dsh-tools` and [docs/architecture.md](../../../architecture.md)), with **every** intermediate `tool-result` re-entering the model's context on the next request.
+In the registry's native presentation, the agent loop advertises every visible capability as a JSON-schema function definition. `ToolRegistry` contributes its schemas to the system-prompt assembly, the assembly's `tools` land on the wire (and in the logged request header), the model invokes one `tool-call` block per step, and the loop dispatches each call through `ctx.tools.execute()` **sequentially** (parallel tool execution is an explicit open TODO in `dsh-tools` and [docs/architecture.md](../../../../docs/architecture.md)), with **every** intermediate `tool-result` re-entering the model's context on the next request.

 For multi-step tool work this is token-heavy and serial. The model cannot compose tools — loop over a result set, branch on an intermediate value, fan out, post-process — without a full model round-trip per call, and each round-trip drags the entire intermediate result back into context whether the model needs it or not.

 Cloudflare's [Code Mode](https://blog.cloudflare.com/code-mode/) proposes an alternative grounded in a simple observation: LLMs are better at writing code than at emitting tool calls, because they have seen millions of lines of real code and comparatively few contrived tool-calling traces. Instead of one tool call per step, the model writes a TypeScript program against a generated API over the tools, the program executes in a sandboxed runtime, and the model curates what comes back — only what it prints or returns — instead of every intermediate result.

-Tool presentation belongs to the registry that owns tool visibility: implementing a second presentation as an after-the-fact waterfall transform would make correctness depend on listener order and fight [reconstructable requests](../../implemented/architecture/2026-07-05-reconstructable-requests.md). The execution substrate is also part of the foundation rather than a placeholder: Node `worker_threads` provides a separate isolate, an empty environment, heap caps, and termination of a hot synchronous loop, while fitting the harness's existing trust model (§Trust posture).

The execution substrate is also part of the foundation rather than a placeholder: Node `worker_threads` provides a separate isolate, an empty environment, heap caps, and termination of a hot synchronous loop, while fitting the harness's existing trust model (§Trust posture).

 ## Decision

 Three decisions, each elaborated in its own section below:

 1. **Code Mode is a first-class presentation mode of `ToolRegistry`** (`dsh-tools`), selected by a validated `mode` config: `'native'` (the default, contributing the visible capability schemas), `'code'` (the registry contributes only its reserved `run_code` transport plus a generated SDK `.d.ts` in the system prompt), or `'both'` (native schemas and the transport + SDK). The registry shapes its canonical contribution at the source; the cooperative prompt-assembly result remains authoritative, and the logged request header records exactly that returned presentation.
-2. **Code execution is a capability seam** — `packages/code-runtime/` contains the interface package `@deepseek-ai/dsh-code-runtime`, which owns `ctx.codeRuntime` ([capability seams](../../implemented/architecture/2026-06-13-capability-seams.md); consumer = `dsh-tools`, with core-consumes-a-seam precedent in `agent-loop` → `dsh-llm`). The runtime knows nothing about tools: it is handed a program and named async bindings, runs the program, and reports `{ value, logs, error? }`. Language and substrate are backend properties, so a future Python or container backend is another implementation package, not a redesign.

Compaction **cannot** honor that: its verbs act on an agent-owned `Session` (`compactRegion(start, end, agent)`) and its output uses the content vocabulary (`CompactionResult.summary: ContentBlock[]`). There is no way to express the contract without naming `Session`/`SessionEvent` (from `dsh-session`) and `ContentBlock` (from `dsh-llm`).

 The framing that shapes the whole design: **a bridge is a compatibility adapter, not a power tool.** Anything a bridge does (block a tool, inject context, force continuation, observe a subagent) a native cordis plugin does more powerfully — typed returns, full `ctx`, no serialization boundary. The bridge's reason to exist is to run the explicitly supported subset of external CC/Codex command hooks. That keeps each bridge thin: parse the config, pick a matcher mode, build the per-event payload, call `runHook` + `mergeHookOutputs` from the shared lib, and map the neutral outcome onto a seam Decision.

It serializes the bridge-built payload to stdin (trailing newline iff CC), honors the hook's `timeoutSec` (else `DEFAULT_HOOK_TIMEOUT_MS`, the 10-minute reference default both dialects share), and never throws (an executor rejection becomes a non-blocking-error `HookOutput`).

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.

 The event-sourced session log already has the primitive a fork needs: create a new session with a seed event prefix, then derive model history from that seeded log exactly as replay does. That primitive is intentionally low-level: `ctx.sessions.create(id, { seed, meta })` accepts any valid seed, but ordinary live-session branching needs policy around which prefix can be copied, which metadata is stamped on the child, and how errors are classified.

-The semantic hazard is the fork boundary. A valid user-visible fork seed must be contiguous and turn-enclosed. Forking inside an active turn would copy an open `turn/start`, possibly an open `step/start`, and possibly dangling tool calls.

A general session fork should not silently clip; it should either fork the requested boundary or reject it.

 A plugin often owns a session-stable opener the model must always see — a skills catalog, an AGENTS.md digest, a workspace baseline. Before this seam the harness offered two homes, and both are wrong for that content. The system prompt is one rendered string: message-shaped content (a user-role `<system-reminder>` envelope, a multi-message primer) does not fit it, and providers weight conversation messages differently from system text. Durable history (`agent.inject()`, a `context/message` at session start) makes the opener permanent: every `deriveMessages()` consumer replays it, the compaction retention walk owns it, forks bake it in stale, and a resume cannot refresh it — a catalog captured at session birth outlives the world it described.

-`agent/session-prefix` is a waterfall on the agent event map ([`packages/core/agent/src/types.ts`](../../../../packages/core/agent/src/types.ts)): listeners receive a frozen empty seed and return an extension (the canonical contribution is a prepend, `[mine, ...await next()]`, which yields registration order on the wire).

 Three properties carry the design:

- **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. The dev invariant ([dsh-invariants](../../../../packages/support/invariants/src/index.ts)) recomputes `messagePrefix + boundary derivation` against every loop-built request; an unlogged prefix cannot reach the wire.
- **Frozen per instance.** Reuse is structural, not disciplined: the cached product cannot change mid-session, so the provider's prompt cache holds by construction and the prefix extends the cacheable region at zero marginal cost per step. A process restart or `ctx.agents.resume()` is a new instance: it recomposes, and any drift lands attributably on the `'resume'` header snapshot. This is the routing rule the seam creates: session-frozen openers ride the prefix; content that changes mid-session rides the append-only history channels (`agent.inject()` or tool/prompt-submit `additionalContexts` — [the interception-seams RFC](2026-06-30-interception-seams.md)), each a durable `context/message` paid once and prefix-cached thereafter.

 - **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.

The harness has nothing that notices: the loop has no step budget, no plugin tracks call repetition, and the model only escapes when it happens to vary its own behavior.

 ## Decision

 The guard is a loop-hygiene plugin, not a model-facing tool. It counts consecutive calls to the same tool with identical canonical arguments and injects advisory reminders at configured thresholds. It never delays, blocks, or rewrites a call; the model decides whether to retry differently or finish.

-The plugin is `@deepseek-ai/dsh-repeat-tool-guard` at `packages/guard/repeat-tool-guard/`, opening the `guard/` group for loop-hygiene plugins (single-package groups have precedent: [the todo-write RFC](2026-06-29-todo-write-tool.md) shipped `todo/tool-todo`). It registers two listeners and holds state in a `WeakMap` keyed by the live `Agent` object — the tool registry is a context-level singleton whose waterfalls interleave every agent's calls (subagents run on the same context), so per-agent keying is correctness, not polish; weak object keys also make a disposal-only cleanup listener unnecessary.

 - **`tools/post-execute` (waterfall)** — the one detection point. The listener receives `(exec, result)` together, so counting and reminder delivery need no cross-event pending map (the pi extension needs one only because its `tool_call`/`tool_result` hooks are separate events). It always delegates via `next()` and, when a threshold is hit, prepends a reminder to the downstream decision's `additionalContexts` — the observe-and-enrich posture [the hooks bridges](2026-06-30-hook-bridges.md) already use, honoring the waterfall contract. Counting happens here rather than in `tools/pre-execute` because post-execute also runs for denied calls (`ToolRegistry.execute` routes a deny through the same pipeline), and a model hammering a denied call is exactly the loop worth breaking.
 - **`agent/prompt-submit` (waterfall)** — pure reset hook: delegate via `next()`, clear the submitting agent's chain. A user interjection changes the context; repetition across it is not a loop.

Several facts follow that the tool descriptions warn the model about directly: a waterfall listener (e.g. `tools/pre-execute`) that returns without calling `next()` vetoes the chain, so a mounted listener can lobotomize the agent's own tool dispatch ([waterfall semantics](../../../cordis-primer.md#cordis-waterfall-semantics)); mount code runs inside a tool call of the current turn, so awaiting anything that resolves only after the turn deadlocks; `vmTimeoutMs` bounds synchronous evaluation only; and mounts do not survive session resume.

 ## 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.
+`glob` and `grep` are conditional model-facing tools in `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-fs-search`, backed by the bash seam, not by new `ctx.fs` provider methods. At plugin load, the package checks `command -v rg >/dev/null 2>&1` through `ctx.bash.resolve(request)` followed by `ctx.bash.run(spec)`; if the command exits nonzero, the package logs a warning and registers neither tools nor prompt sections. A probe that cannot start, times out, aborts, is killed, or produces no exit code fails plugin load loudly because that is a broken bash executor rather than an absent optional binary. When registered, execution uses the same `ctx.bash.resolve(request)` followed by `ctx.bash.run(spec)` flow 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.

 ## 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.

 - Snapshot gap note for the transcript-visible spill notice: this landed with the gap note, not a snapshot.

 - 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.

+# Agent Note: Cross-family file sandbox — one policy home, a sandboxed fs provider, and fs escalation parity
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-14-cross-family-fs-sandbox.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+`SandboxMode` claims file effects, but originally only `ctx.bash` enforced it. The fs tools (`write`/`edit`) mutate the host filesystem in-process through `ctx.fs`, where an OS argv wrapper is mechanically meaningless — [the sandbox Agent Note](2026-07-06-sandbox.md) § In-process tools records this and left cross-family enforcement as a deferred phase with an open question: whether in-process enforcement stays per-seam or becomes a uniform harness capability. This Agent Note is that phase, and answers it: one shared policy home, per-seam enforcement at each family's correct altitude.
+
+The gap was not read-only-shaped. A confined coding agent's product mode is `workspace-write`: bash may already write under the workspace root while everything outside is denied, so an fs enforcement that could only deny-all would be strictly worse than disabling the fs tools — the model would attempt an in-workspace `write`, be denied, and learn to detour through `bash` heredocs. Cross-family enforcement therefore speaks the full mode ladder, including the path-containment judgment `workspace-write` requires (canonical targets; `..`/symlink/absolute-path escapes) and the same escalation lever bash carries.
+
+A second enforcing family also exposed an ownership problem in the original layout. The deployment default (`mode` + `workspaceRoot`) was configured on `dsh-bash-sandbox`, and the per-session override event was `bash/sandbox-mode`, folded and written by `dsh-bash`'s session-mode kit. With fs enforcing the same policy, either fs reads bash's config and events (a capability family depending on a sibling's plugin config) or each family carries its own copy — and two copies of `workspaceRoot` drift into exactly the split world the sandbox RFC warns about: bash confined to one root while fs fences another.
+
+## Decision
+
+Three coordinated pieces, all composed from the leaf `cordis.yml`, none touching `agent-loop`.
+
+### `ctx.sandboxPolicy` — one home for mode and workspace root
+
+`packages/sandbox/sandbox-policy/` (`@deepseek-ai/dsh-sandbox-policy`) registers `ctx.sandboxPolicy`, the single owner of the deployment's sandbox policy:
+
+- `Config`: `mode` (the closed `SandboxMode` union, default `read-only`) and `workspaceRoot` (default the process cwd, resolved absolute). Misconfiguration fails loud at load.
+- The per-session override event `sandbox/mode`, with its pure fold (`effectiveSandboxMode(events)`), its write path (`setSandboxMode(session, mode)`), and `SANDBOX_MODES`. The event is policy state — consumed by two families — so it lives here, not in either capability's seam. Its shape and log-only semantics match the `approval/*` precedent.
+- `defaultMode` / `workspaceRoot` accessors the enforcing implementations read for their resolve fallback and boundary.
+
+`dsh-bash-sandbox` carries no sandbox config of its own — it injects `sandboxPolicy` and reads the default from it; its `resolve()` precedence is unchanged (escalation grant > per-call stamp > default). `dsh-tool-bash` and `dsh-tool-fs` fold the session's `sandbox/mode` with `effectiveSandboxMode` to stamp each call; `dsh-permission` presets and the ACP bridge write through the relocated setter. The seam that owns bash execution no longer depends on `dsh-session` at all — the session dependency moved to the policy package with the fold.
+
+### `dsh-fs-sandbox` — enforcement inside the provider
+
+`packages/fs/fs-sandbox/` (`@deepseek-ai/dsh-fs-sandbox`) mirrors the `bash-local`/`bash-sandbox` split: `SandboxedFileSystem extends LocalFileSystem`, registered as `ctx.fs`, injecting `sandboxPolicy`. Reads (`resolve`/`stat`/`readText`/`streamText`/`listDir`) pass through untouched — every mode permits reading. The two mutations enforce by mode before delegating to the inherited atomic write:
+
+- `read-only` denies `writeText`/`editText` outright.
+- `workspace-write` fences the canonicalized target against the writable-root set — `writableRoots(policy)` in `dsh-sandbox`: the workspace root plus the platform temp areas (`/tmp`, `os.tmpdir()`), each realpathed — the SAME set the Seatbelt profile grants, so the fs fence is the fourth dialect of one mode meaning alongside the bwrap/Landlock/Seatbelt profiles, and "the write tool cannot write `/tmp` but bash can" asymmetries cannot arise. Containment is prefix-inclusion on real paths; the target is re-canonicalized (`resolve` realpaths the deepest existing ancestor) immediately before delegating, so an ancestor symlink swapped since the tool resolved it is caught.
+- `danger-full-access` delegates unfenced.
+
+A denial is the structured `FS_SANDBOX_DENIED` carrying the effective mode — distinct from `FS_PERMISSION_DENIED` (a host EACCES is the world refusing; this is policy refusing). No text inference: an in-process fence knows exactly what it denied. The per-call carrier is a trailing optional `sandboxMode` on `writeText`/`editText` (the filesystem twin of `BashExecRequest.sandboxMode`); the seam stays session-free (the caller stamps, exactly as `resolve` takes a cwd), and the bare local backend carries-and-ignores it. `FileSystem.sandboxMode` is the capability fact (`undefined` on the base and `fs-local`, the default on `SandboxedFileSystem`), so the tool layer advertises escalation from composition truth.
+
+The threat model is stated in the package README: a policy fence in trusted code over model-controlled paths, not a kernel boundary — the operations are the seam's own, only the target path is untrusted, so canonicalize-then-contain is the complete answer to this surface (the `code-runtime` "containment, not a security boundary" precedent). Kernel-grade isolation of untrusted CODE stays `ctx.bash`'s job. The residual resolve-to-syscall race is narrowed by the in-place re-canonicalization and eliminated only by platform primitives (`openat2` `RESOLVE_BENEATH`) not worth their portability cost here.
+
+### Tool parity — one denial marker, one escalation flow
+
+`dsh-tool-fs` stamps the effective mode onto each mutation and maps `FS_SANDBOX_DENIED` to the marker the model already knows from bash: `[sandbox: file access denied under <mode> mode]`. When `ctx.fs.sandboxMode` reports a confining mode at registration, `write` and `edit` advertise the same `sandbox_permissions` + `justification` fields, teach the same same-turn retry, and resolve the same `ctx.approval` request before executing — the four outcomes and their verbatim fail-closed texts carried over from [the sandbox Agent Note](2026-07-06-sandbox.md) § Escalation (strict widening checked at execution against the call's effective mode; a grant consumed by the one call that asked; no new session events).
+
+The shared pieces live in `dsh-sandbox`, which owns the mode types: `WIDER_MODES`, the escalation-target enum, the argument-pairing validation, the denial/hint marker builders, and `approveEscalation` — the ordered fail-closed choreography. `approveEscalation` takes a minimal STRUCTURAL approver (`EscalationApprover`, generic over the agent and call-id types), not the approval service type, so `dsh-sandbox` gains no dependency on the approval or agent packages: each tool passes its own `ctx.approval`, agent, call id, and tool name as ingredients. `dsh-tool-bash` and `dsh-tool-fs` both use these; the cross-file duplication gate holds the single-sourcing honest.
+
+The [`examples/acp-agent`](../../../../examples/acp-agent/cordis.yml) composition loads `dsh-sandbox-policy` and `dsh-fs-sandbox`, moves the `mode`/`workspaceRoot` config to the policy entry, and drops the old gating that disabled the fs stack under confined modes; `fs-policy` (read-before-edit) composes orthogonally on top. The system prompt still states no sandbox mode — the marker teaches the boundary at the moment it matters, per the sandbox Agent Note's live evidence.
+
+### The enforcement point: provider, not intent gate
+
+The sandbox Agent Note's original cross-family sketch put fs enforcement on the `fs/write-intent`/`fs/edit-intent` events. This Agent Note enforces in the provider instead, on two mechanical facts: the intent slots are single-decision first-wins (occupied by `dsh-fs-policy`, whose contract names a second decider a misconfiguration), and the intent events are dispatched only by `dsh-tool-fs` — a direct `ctx.fs` caller (a cordis-mounted plugin, a custom tool) bypasses them, where provider-level enforcement covers every caller by construction. The sandbox Agent Note's deferred-phase wording is updated to match in the same change.
+
+### Out of scope
+
+- **Network policy for `ctx.web`** — `SandboxMode` claims file effects only; a web-only network knob while bash `curl` runs free would be a false boundary. Revisit when a bash backend enforces network (bwrap `--unshare-net`, Landlock ABI v4+).
+- **The `subagent-acp` consumer** and **per-session workspace root** — unchanged deferred phases of the sandbox RFC; centralizing the root in `ctx.sandboxPolicy` is groundwork for the latter, not its design.
+- **A uniform per-tool sandbox runtime** — remains rejected for the reasons in the sandbox RFC.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **Enforce on the `fs/*` intent events (the sandbox Agent Note's original sketch)** — rejected on the two mechanical facts in § The enforcement point: single-slot first-wins already occupied, and a bypass for direct `ctx.fs` callers. Provider-level enforcement covers every caller and mirrors bash's swap-the-implementation shape.
+- **Enforce in `tools/pre-execute`** — rejected: the listener sees the model's raw path string before `resolve()`, so it would re-implement cwd defaulting and symlink canonicalization and still race the real resolve. Disqualifying for `workspace-write`, a judgment over canonical paths.
+- **Inline checks in `dsh-tool-fs`** — rejected: covers only the tool path (same bypass as the intent events) and duplicates resolve knowledge one layer above where the canonical target already exists.
+- **A `mode` flag on `dsh-fs-local` instead of a sibling backend** — rejected: the capability fact must be composition truth the way `dsh-bash-local` vs `dsh-bash-sandbox` is; a config flag makes the tool's advertisement conditional on configuration, and the bash family already establishes the sibling-package shape.
+- **Kernel-enforced fs mutations via a confined helper subprocess** — rejected: a process per write; `editText`'s read-match-write critical section would have to move wholesale into the child to stay atomic; and the threat surface (trusted operations, untrusted path argument) does not need a kernel — the fence in trusted code is the complete answer, while untrusted-code isolation stays on `ctx.bash`.
+- **Per-family policy config with a load-time consistency check** — rejected: two homes for one fact, patched by a check that must enumerate every future enforcing family; the policy service makes drift inexpressible instead of detected.
+- **Keep the override event in `dsh-bash` as `bash/sandbox-mode`** — rejected: the event is policy state consumed by two families; leaving it bash-named forces `dsh-fs-sandbox` to depend on bash vocabulary. Pre-release, the rename is a same-change move with snapshot re-records, no shims.
+- **Escalation choreography imported from the approval/agent packages into `dsh-sandbox`** — rejected: it would invert the layering (a base vocabulary package depending on UI/agent packages). The structural approver keeps the logic single-sourced in `dsh-sandbox` while the dependencies stay in the tool layer that already holds them.
+- **A consolidated mutation-options object on the fs seam** (the shape first sketched for the per-call carrier) — rejected on friction: it churns every `writeText`/`editText` caller and splits `signal` across an options bag for mutations while reads keep it positional. A trailing optional `sandboxMode` matches bash's carry-and-ignore pattern and keeps `signal` symmetric across the seam.
+- **Extra writable-root grants on `SandboxPolicy` now** — deferred unchanged: `writableRoots()` derives from the mode meaning today; ad-hoc grants are an escalation-scope question the sandbox RFC left open.
+
+## Consequences
+
+What shipped — the tiers in § Testing hold each:
+
+- Under `read-only`, `write`/`edit` return the `[sandbox: file access denied under read-only mode]` marker and the disk is untouched; `read`/`listDir` behave identically to `dsh-fs-local`.
+- Under `workspace-write`, mutations land under the workspace root and the temp areas and are denied outside; the containment matrix — `..` traversal, absolute paths outside, a pre-existing symlinked directory inside pointing out, and a new file created under such a symlink — denies every escape on real disks.
+- A denied fs mutation retried once with `sandbox_permissions` + `justification` prompts through the composed approval chain; a grant runs exactly that call under the wider mode and the write lands; rejected/cancelled/unavailable each produce their verbatim fail-closed text and mutate nothing.
+- One `permission` preset switch governs both families: after a session switches modes, the next bash call and the next fs mutation both honor the new mode from the same `sandbox/mode` fold.
+- A direct `ctx.fs.writeText` with no per-call stamp is confined at the deployment default.
+- The escalation fields on `write`/`edit` exist exactly when the mounted `ctx.fs` confines, absent under `dsh-fs-local`.
+- `agent-loop` is untouched — everything rides `ctx.sandboxPolicy`, the `ctx.fs` seam, `SessionEventMap` merging, and the tool-execution pipeline.
+
+Costs and accepted limits:
+
+- **The fs fence is a policy boundary, not a kernel one.** Its threat surface is model-chosen paths, not adversarial host processes; the residual resolve-to-syscall TOCTOU is narrowed, not eliminated, and the README says so. Kernel boundaries remain bash's.
+- **`dsh-bash-sandbox` gains a hard dependency on `ctx.sandboxPolicy`.** Every sandboxed composition adds one `cordis.yml` entry or fails loud at load — the intended pre-release foundation move; the examples update in the same change.
+- **Fence-vs-runner parity is derived, not asserted.** The fs fence and the Seatbelt profile both take their writable set from `writableRoots`, and a parity unit test pins the sets; a runner profile changing its writable set without that function would drift.
+- **The marker and escalation teaching now serve two families.** A wording change is a coordinated edit behind one builder in `dsh-sandbox`; the duplication gate and pinned snapshots hold it single-sourced, at the cost that fs and bash cannot deliberately diverge in phrasing without splitting the builder.
+
+## Testing
+
+- Unit: `dsh-sandbox` pins the escalation ladder, the marker builders, the argument-pairing validation, and `approveEscalation`'s ordered fail-closed sequence (non-widening, no-approval, no-agent, each outcome), plus `writableRoots`/`canonicalPath`. `dsh-sandbox-policy` pins the default accessors, the fold/setter, the load-time mode rejection, and HMR safety. `dsh-fs-sandbox` pins the per-mode fence and the containment matrix (inside, temp area, absolute-outside, `..`, symlinked-out directory, new file under one, path-equals-root, root-ending-in-separator) on a real filesystem, plus the per-call override and HMR safety. `dsh-tool-fs` pins advertisement gating, the mode stamp, the fold, denial-marker mapping, and the full escalation matrix (grant, reject, no-service, no-agent, pairing, non-confining guard). `dsh-tool-bash`, `dsh-bash-sandbox`, and `dsh-permission` migrate to the relocated policy/kit.
+- Snapshot: the acp-agent example composes `dsh-sandbox-policy` + `dsh-fs-sandbox`; the pinned header carries the fs escalation fields and the `sandbox/mode` event name, re-recorded once.

+# Agent Note: 跨家族文件沙箱——统一策略归属、沙箱化 fs 提供方、fs 升级对等
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-14-cross-family-fs-sandbox.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+`SandboxMode` 声明的是文件效果,但最初只有 `ctx.bash` 执行它。fs 工具(`write`/`edit`)在进程内经由 `ctx.fs` 变更宿主文件系统,那里的 OS argv 包装在机制上毫无意义——[沙箱 RFC](2026-07-06-sandbox.md) § In-process tools 记录了这一点,并把跨家族执行留作一个延后阶段,附带一个未决问题:进程内执行是各 seam 各自表达,还是变成一个统一的 harness 能力。本 Agent Note 就是那个阶段,并给出答案:一个共享的策略归属,在每个家族各自正确的高度上做 per-seam 执行。
+
+这个缺口不是 read-only 形状的。一个受限编码 agent 的产品模式是 `workspace-write`:bash 已经可以在工作区根目录下写入,而其外的一切都被拒绝,所以一个只能全部拒绝的 fs 执行会严格劣于禁用 fs 工具——模型会尝试在工作区内 `write`,被拒,然后学会绕道 `bash` heredoc。因此跨家族执行必须讲完整的模式阶梯,包括 `workspace-write` 要求的路径包含判定(规范化目标;`..`/符号链接/绝对路径逃逸),以及与 bash 相同的升级杠杆。
+
+第二个执行家族还暴露了原布局中的一个归属问题。部署默认值(`mode` + `workspaceRoot`)配置在 `dsh-bash-sandbox` 上,而 per-session 覆盖事件是 `bash/sandbox-mode`,由 `dsh-bash` 的 session-mode 工具集折叠与写入。当 fs 执行同一套策略时,要么 fs 读取 bash 的配置与事件(一个能力家族依赖同级插件的配置),要么各家族各持一份副本——两份 `workspaceRoot` 会漂移进沙箱 RFC 警告过的那个割裂世界:bash 受限于一个根,而 fs 围栏另一个根。
+
+## Decision
+
+三个相互协调的部分,全部在叶子 `cordis.yml` 中组合,均不触及 `agent-loop`。
+
+### `ctx.sandboxPolicy`——mode 与工作区根的统一归属
+
+`packages/sandbox/sandbox-policy/`(`@deepseek-ai/dsh-sandbox-policy`)注册 `ctx.sandboxPolicy`,即部署沙箱策略的唯一所有者:
+
+- `Config`:`mode`(封闭的 `SandboxMode` 联合,默认 `read-only`)与 `workspaceRoot`(默认进程 cwd,解析为绝对路径)。配置错误在加载时高声失败。
+- per-session 覆盖事件 `sandbox/mode`,连同它的纯折叠(`effectiveSandboxMode(events)`)、写入路径(`setSandboxMode(session, mode)`)与 `SANDBOX_MODES`。该事件是策略状态——被两个家族消费——所以它住在这里,而不在任一能力的 seam 里。它的形状与仅日志(log-only)语义遵循 `approval/*` 的先例。
+- `defaultMode` / `workspaceRoot` 访问器,供执行实现读取其 resolve 回退值与边界。
+
+`dsh-bash-sandbox` 自身不再携带任何沙箱配置——它注入 `sandboxPolicy` 并从中读取默认值;其 `resolve()` 优先级不变(升级授权 > per-call 盖章 > 默认)。`dsh-tool-bash` 与 `dsh-tool-fs` 用 `effectiveSandboxMode` 折叠会话的 `sandbox/mode` 以对每次调用盖章;`dsh-permission` 预设与 ACP bridge 经由迁移后的 setter 写入。拥有 bash 执行的那个 seam 不再依赖 `dsh-session`——会话依赖随折叠一起迁到了策略包。
+
+### `dsh-fs-sandbox`——在提供方内部执行
+
+`packages/fs/fs-sandbox/`(`@deepseek-ai/dsh-fs-sandbox`)镜像 `bash-local`/`bash-sandbox` 的拆分:`SandboxedFileSystem extends LocalFileSystem`,注册为 `ctx.fs`,注入 `sandboxPolicy`。读取(`resolve`/`stat`/`readText`/`streamText`/`listDir`)原样透传——每种模式都允许读。两个变更操作在委托给继承来的原子写之前按模式执行:
+
+- `read-only` 直接拒绝 `writeText`/`editText`。
+- `workspace-write` 把规范化后的目标围栏于可写根集合——`dsh-sandbox` 中的 `writableRoots(policy)`:工作区根加上平台临时目录(`/tmp`、`os.tmpdir()`),各自 realpath——与 Seatbelt profile 授予的是同一个集合,所以 fs 围栏是这一个模式含义在 bwrap/Landlock/Seatbelt profile 之外的第四种方言,因此不会出现「write 工具不能写 `/tmp` 而 bash 能」的不对称。包含判定是对真实路径的前缀包含;目标在委托前被立即重新规范化(`resolve` 对最深的既有祖先做 realpath),因此自工具解析该目标以来被换出的祖先符号链接会被捕获。
+- `danger-full-access` 不加围栏地委托。
+
+拒绝是结构化的 `FS_SANDBOX_DENIED`,携带生效模式——区别于 `FS_PERMISSION_DENIED`(宿主 EACCES 是世界在拒绝;这里是策略在拒绝)。无文本推断:进程内围栏确切知道它拒绝了什么。per-call 载体是 `writeText`/`editText` 上一个末尾可选的 `sandboxMode`(文件系统侧对应 `BashExecRequest.sandboxMode`);该 seam 保持无会话依赖(由调用方盖章,正如 `resolve` 接收一个 cwd),而裸的本地后端携带并忽略它。`FileSystem.sandboxMode` 是能力事实(在基类与 `fs-local` 上为 `undefined`,在 `SandboxedFileSystem` 上为默认值),所以工具层按组合真相来宣告升级。
+
+威胁模型写在包 README 里:一道位于可信代码中、针对模型可控路径的策略围栏,而非内核边界——操作是 seam 自身的,只有目标路径不可信,所以「先规范化再判包含」是对这个面的完整答案(`code-runtime` 的「containment, not a security boundary」先例)。对不可信代码的内核级隔离仍是 `ctx.bash` 的职责。resolve 到系统调用之间残留的竞态被就地重新规范化收窄,只有平台原语(`openat2` `RESOLVE_BENEATH`)能彻底消除它,而那在此不值其可移植性代价。
+
+### 工具对等——一个拒绝标记、一条升级流程
+
+`dsh-tool-fs` 把生效模式盖章到每次变更上,并将 `FS_SANDBOX_DENIED` 映射为模型已从 bash 认识的标记:`[sandbox: file access denied under <mode> mode]`。当 `ctx.fs.sandboxMode` 在注册时报告一个受限模式,`write` 与 `edit` 宣告相同的 `sandbox_permissions` + `justification` 字段,教授相同的同回合重试,并在执行前解析相同的 `ctx.approval` 请求——四种结果及其逐字的 fail-closed 文案沿用自[沙箱 RFC](2026-07-06-sandbox.md) § Escalation(严格加宽在执行时针对调用的生效模式检查;授权由发起它的那一次调用消费;无任何新会话事件)。
+
+共享部分住在 `dsh-sandbox`,它拥有模式类型:`WIDER_MODES`、升级目标枚举、参数配对校验、拒绝/提示标记构造器,以及 `approveEscalation`——有序的 fail-closed 编排。`approveEscalation` 接收一个最小的结构化 approver(`EscalationApprover`,对 agent 与 call-id 类型泛型化),而非审批服务类型,所以 `dsh-sandbox` 不获得对 approval 或 agent 包的依赖:每个工具把自己的 `ctx.approval`、agent、call id 与工具名作为原料传入。`dsh-tool-bash` 与 `dsh-tool-fs` 都使用它们;跨文件重复检测门禁确保单一来源不走样。
+
+[`examples/acp-agent`](../../../../examples/acp-agent/cordis.yml) 组合加载 `dsh-sandbox-policy` 与 `dsh-fs-sandbox`,把 `mode`/`workspaceRoot` 配置移到策略条目,并去掉在受限模式下禁用整个 fs 栈的旧门控;`fs-policy`(read-before-edit)正交地叠加其上。系统提示仍然不陈述沙箱模式——标记会在真正重要的那一刻教会模型边界,依据沙箱 RFC 的线上证据。
+
+### 执行点:提供方,而非 intent gate
+
+沙箱 RFC 最初的跨家族草图把 fs 执行放在 `fs/write-intent`/`fs/edit-intent` 事件上。本 Agent Note 改为在提供方中执行,基于两个机制性事实:intent 槽是单决策、先到先得(已被 `dsh-fs-policy` 占据,其契约称第二个决策者为配置错误),且 intent 事件只由 `dsh-tool-fs` 派发——一个直连 `ctx.fs` 的调用方(一个 cordis 挂载插件、一个自定义工具)会绕过它们,而提供方级执行按构造覆盖每一个调用方。沙箱 RFC 的延后阶段措辞在同一变更中被更新以匹配。
+
+### 范围之外
+
+- **`ctx.web` 的网络策略**——`SandboxMode` 只声明文件效果;在 bash `curl` 畅通时给一个仅限 web 的网络旋钮会是一道假边界。待某个 bash 后端能执行网络(bwrap `--unshare-net`、Landlock ABI v4+)时再议。
+- **`subagent-acp` 消费者** 与 **per-session 工作区根**——沙箱 RFC 未变的延后阶段;把根集中到 `ctx.sandboxPolicy` 是后者的铺垫,而非其设计。
+- **统一的 per-tool 沙箱运行时**——因沙箱 RFC 中的理由继续否决。
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **在 `fs/*` intent 事件上执行(沙箱 RFC 的原始草图)**——因 § 执行点 中的两个机制性事实被否决:单槽先到先得且已被占据,以及对直连 `ctx.fs` 调用方的绕过。提供方级执行覆盖每一个调用方,并镜像 bash 的换实现形态。
+- **在 `tools/pre-execute` 中执行**——否决:监听器在 `resolve()` 之前看到模型的原始路径字符串,因此它会重新实现 cwd 默认化与符号链接规范化,并且仍与真正的 resolve 竞态。对 `workspace-write`(一个对规范路径的判定)而言是取消资格级的。
+- **在 `dsh-tool-fs` 中做内联检查**——否决:只覆盖工具路径(与 intent 事件同样的绕过),并在规范目标已存在之上重复了一层 resolve 知识。
+- **在 `dsh-fs-local` 上加一个 `mode` 标志而非同级后端**——否决:能力事实必须是组合真相,正如 `dsh-bash-local` 对 `dsh-bash-sandbox`;一个配置标志会让工具的宣告取决于配置,而 bash 家族已经确立了同级包形态。
+- **经受限 helper 子进程做内核级 fs 变更**——否决:每次写一个进程;`editText` 的读-匹配-写临界区不得不整体搬进子进程才能保持原子;而威胁面(可信操作、不可信路径参数)不需要内核——可信代码中的围栏就是完整答案,而不可信代码隔离仍在 `ctx.bash`。
+- **带加载期一致性校验的 per-family 策略配置**——否决:一个事实两个归属,靠一个必须枚举每个未来执行家族的校验来打补丁;策略服务让漂移不可表达,而非被检测到。
+- **把覆盖事件留在 `dsh-bash` 里作 `bash/sandbox-mode`**——否决:该事件是被两个家族消费的策略状态;保留 bash 命名会迫使 `dsh-fs-sandbox` 依赖 bash 词汇。预发布阶段,该改名是同一变更内的迁移,附带快照重录,无任何 shim。
+- **把升级编排从 approval/agent 包导入 `dsh-sandbox`**——否决:那会倒置分层(一个基础词汇包依赖 UI/agent 包)。结构化 approver 让逻辑单一来源于 `dsh-sandbox`,而依赖留在本就持有它们的工具层。
+- **fs seam 上一个合并的 mutation-options 对象**(per-call 载体最初草拟的形状)——因摩擦被否决:它会搅动每一个 `writeText`/`editText` 调用方,并把 `signal` 拆进变更专用的选项包,而读取仍保持位置参数。一个末尾可选的 `sandboxMode` 匹配 bash 的携带并忽略模式,并使 `signal` 在整个 seam 上保持对称。
+- **现在就在 `SandboxPolicy` 上加额外的可写根授权**——照旧延后:`writableRoots()` 如今由模式含义推导;临时授权是沙箱 RFC 留下的升级作用域问题。
+
+## Consequences
+
+已交付的部分——§ Testing 的各层各自钉住:
+
+- 在 `read-only` 下,`write`/`edit` 返回 `[sandbox: file access denied under read-only mode]` 标记,磁盘不受触动;`read`/`listDir` 与 `dsh-fs-local` 行为一致。
+- 在 `workspace-write` 下,变更落在工作区根与临时目录下,其外被拒;包含矩阵——`..` 穿越、指向外部的绝对路径、一个既有的、指向外部的工作区内符号链接目录,以及在这样一个符号链接下新建的文件——在真实磁盘上拒绝每一种逃逸。
+- 一个被拒的 fs 变更,携带 `sandbox_permissions` + `justification` 重试一次,会经组合的审批链提示;一次授权让恰好那一次调用在更宽的模式下运行且写入落盘;rejected/cancelled/unavailable 各自产生其逐字的 fail-closed 文案且不做任何变更。
+- 一次 `permission` 预设切换同时管辖两个家族:会话切换模式后,下一次 bash 调用与下一次 fs 变更都从同一个 `sandbox/mode` 折叠遵循新模式。
+- 一次无 per-call 盖章的直连 `ctx.fs.writeText` 会被围栏于部署默认值。
+- `write`/`edit` 上的升级字段恰好在被挂载的 `ctx.fs` 受限时存在,在 `dsh-fs-local` 下不存在。
+- `agent-loop` 未被触动——一切都骑在 `ctx.sandboxPolicy`、`ctx.fs` seam、`SessionEventMap` 合并,以及工具执行管线之上。
+
+代价与接受的限制:
+
+- **fs 围栏是策略边界,而非内核边界。** 它的威胁面是模型选定的路径,而非对抗性宿主进程;resolve 到系统调用之间残留的 TOCTOU 被收窄而非消除,README 已如实声明。内核边界仍属 bash。
+- **`dsh-bash-sandbox` 获得对 `ctx.sandboxPolicy` 的硬依赖。** 每个沙箱化组合要么加一个 `cordis.yml` 条目,要么在加载时高声失败——这是有意的预发布奠基之举;示例在同一变更内更新。
+- **围栏与 runner 的对等是推导出来的,而非断言的。** fs 围栏与 Seatbelt profile 都从 `writableRoots` 取其可写集合,一个对等单元测试钉住这些集合;一个 runner profile 若在不经该函数的情况下改变其可写集合便会漂移。
+- **标记与升级教学如今服务于两个家族。** 措辞改动是 `dsh-sandbox` 中一个构造器背后的协调编辑;重复检测门禁与钉住的快照维持单一来源,代价是 fs 与 bash 无法在不拆分该构造器的情况下有意地在措辞上分道。

-agent loop（智能体循环）会在发送前通过完整的 `request/header` 快照记录时间区块，从而满足[可重建请求契约](../architecture/2026-07-05-reconstructable-requests.md)。每个请求只携带一个当前区块；先前的读数不会保留在会话历史中。该插件拥有时间信息，并按照[提示词变量 RFC](../architecture/2026-07-05-prompt-variables-and-tool-guidance-ownership.md)通过提示词注册表贡献该信息，无需为循环添加特殊分支。
