 CI: [`.github/workflows/build-exe-for-python-sdk.yml`](../../../../.github/workflows/build-exe-for-python-sdk.yml), triggered explicitly only — `workflow_dispatch`, or the `build-exe` label on a pull request; native builds on the three platforms linux-x64 / linux-arm64 (`ubuntu-24.04-arm`) / macos-arm64, with `~/.pkg-cache` cached; macOS ad-hoc signing is handled by pkg. Each leg drives a mock SSE model through the SDK with the default config and a custom `cordis.yml`, drives the exe directly over NDJSON JSON-RPC, verifies the JSONL and final response, and installs release-shaped wheels into a clean venv without `runtime_bin`; Linux additionally inspects GLIBC requirements and runs in a manylinux 2.28 container. A full three-target run retains four artifacts, each containing one release file: the platform-independent SDK wheel and three native runtime wheels; a subset dispatch retains the SDK wheel and selected runtime wheels. Bare executables and source bundles remain intermediate test inputs. [`.gitlab-ci.yml`](../../../../.gitlab-ci.yml) accepts only `python-vX.Y.Z` tag pipelines whose version matches the root `package.json`, builds one SDK wheel and three native runtime wheels, then a single serialized job checks and publishes all four to the project PyPI registry. Windows is a non-goal.
 
 ### Python SDK distribution: two carriers, exe for production, node for development
 
-The Python SDK lives at [`python/`](../../../../python/README.md): `python/sdk` (the client) + `python/sdk-runtime` (the runtime carrier package). The runtime package's data directory holds three kinds of content: the checked-in default `runtime/cordis.yml`, the build-injected platform exe, and the build-injected `runtime/node/` closure tree. `resolve_bundled_launch_args()` automatic resolution **finds the exe only**; the node carrier is enabled only by an explicit `DSH_RUNTIME_MODE=node` (running `runtime/node/node_modules/@deepseek-ai/dsh-jsonrpc-demo/lib/bin.js`, requiring a system node ≥22.19), positioned as the development-verification channel for members of this repo, and does not enter wheel distributions.

-[`scripts/build-python-release.py`](../../../../scripts/build-python-release.py) reads the authoritative stable `X.Y.Z` from the repository root `package.json` and stages both packages at that version, with the SDK depending exactly on `deepseek-harness-runtime-bin==X.Y.Z`. An optional `python-vX.Y.Z` release tag is a consistency assertion and is rejected when it differs from the repository version; the source `pyproject.toml` development sentinel never determines a release version. The SDK is a `py3-none-any` wheel; the wheel-only runtime package contains exactly one exe and uses one of `py3-none-manylinux_2_28_x86_64`, `py3-none-manylinux_2_28_aarch64`, or `py3-none-macosx_11_0_arm64`.

 The exe's "must be explicitly configured" hard semantic is unchanged; the zero-config experience is restored by the wrapper: when the caller gave no `cordis`, named no explicit runtime, and the environment has no `DSH_CORDIS_CONFIG`, the client explicitly injects the checked-in default `cordis.yml` (agent-core + preloaded llm-deepseek + JSONL persistence + bash-local + the `dsh-jsonrpc` serving entry, with `!!js` environment-variable fallbacks) via `DSH_CORDIS_CONFIG`.

 ## Testing
 
-The verification surface has three tiers. Mechanism tier: the measured conclusions for the `--sea` chain are embedded in the Decision sections (ESM dynamic import inside the VFS, single cordis instance, fail-loud config chain, `node:sqlite`, macOS ad-hoc signing runs). SDK tier: the complete keyless pytest suite covers the client protocol against a fake runtime peer, subprocess cleanup, absolute cwd propagation, dual-carrier launch, and carrier resolution; root CI runs it on Python 3.10. End-to-end tier: every platform build completes a turn against a mock endpoint through the default SDK path, a custom config, and the direct binary protocol, with final text and JSONL checked. The custom config additionally drives `run_code` and a zero-agent `workflow` through their real worker files inside the packaged VFS. The same build leg runs a committed executable-specific snapshot through the Python SDK: a keyless scripted model mounts a Cordis plugin that registers a tool, invokes that tool from `run_code`, runs a direct spawn subagent and a workflow that starts a second spawn child, then unmounts the plugin. The comparison normalizes the SDK result and notification stream plus the parent and two child JSONL logs. This harness stays separate from ACP's `pnpm run test:snapshot` because the protocols and build artifacts differ. The platform wheel is then installed in a clean venv and run without `runtime_bin`.

 Manual-driving caveat: the bin treats stdin EOF as "the client is gone" and disposes immediately, so a short-lived pipe aborts an in-flight turn — pipe-driven runs must keep stdin open until the turn ends.

 **Admission accepts next-step input without becoming a turn.** The loop opens a private next-step acceptance window before `agent/prompt-submit`, keeps it open through the turn, and closes it before `turn/end`. Steering and injection received during admission therefore remain together in the outbox and join an allowed turn. If admission blocks or fails, a context-only caller batch takes idle injection's immediate append, while steering and context staged beside it remain available to retry; neither path writes the rejected prompt. When a later prompt is admitted, retained outbox input enters its turn before that prompt, while input accepted during the current admission remains after the prompt. Closing the window before `turn/end` preserves the rule that reentrant late steering becomes an independent queued turn. `Agent.acceptsNextStep` exposes whether a `next-step` send would currently join this window; `status` remains the broader activity signal rather than a routing predicate.

 The delivery surface is now one primitive plus three self-documenting presets, and the (`target` × `wakeup`) matrix makes previously-unreachable combinations explicit. One durable message type serves prompts, injected context, and goal rounds, so the surface projection and every "human prompt?" check simplify to a `source` test. The `Agent` contract remains an interface, so alternate implementations and object-literal test fakes implement the same minimal structural surface. The goal fold's channel split moved from event type to `source.round`, and every consumer that filtered `context/message` now filters `user/message` by source. An idle injection appends `user/message` between turns without opening a turn or running the model.
 
-`wakeup` is the "should the model run" signal, so the inbox distinguishes waking queued work from anything available to dequeue: a lone `next-turn`/no-wakeup item stays parked at idle and rides along the next waking send, and `whenIdle`/`cancel` settle quiescence off the waking signal. Every FIFO exit publishes exactly one lifecycle event, while domain-specific durable facts travel in typed message sources rather than a parallel metadata channel. The direct pending-item representation keeps public lifecycle events correlated without maintaining a second steering wrapper or allowing its durable data to diverge.

No spine bundle: every plugin is one row and every config field is yml-editable. `--dev` appends the `dsh-client-hmr` row in code before the settle sweep — prod and dev differ by exactly that row. Row order carries no load semantics; activation is service-availability driven, and the boot compensates with a fail-loud triple: `assertEntriesLoaded` (import failures), `installFailLoud` (late apply rejections), and an all-ACTIVE sweep (PENDING fibers — cordis inject waiting has no timeout).
+**Composition is one flat assembled tree.** `apps/cli/config/base.cordis.yml` plus `apps/cli/config/web.cordis.yml` holds every row — the host runtime (32 rows), the `api-gateway` row, the `webserver` row, and the `dshClient` rows (the browser roster; the modules row is simultaneously a host row). No spine bundle: every plugin is one row and every config field is yml-editable. That stance later became repository-wide, with the rows both surfaces share factored into `apps/cli/config/base.cordis.yml` and each surface reduced to an overlay ([shared-base overlays](../simplification/2026-07-29-shared-base-config-overlays.md)). `--dev` appends the `dsh-client-hmr` row in code before the settle sweep — prod and dev differ by exactly that row.

 **Boot glue is a class pair.** `AppCLIEntry` (apps/cli) and `AppWebEntry` (the shell kernel) hold only what must exist independently of cordis: argv facts, the composed patch set, the parsed boot manifest, the module system instance, loading-page handles — everything else lives in plugins. `AppCLIEntry.run()` is three stages: layered env (ambient > cwd `.env` > `$DSH_HOME/.env`, closing the defect above) → patch composition → Loader include boot plus the triple. `AppWebEntry.run()` mirrors it browser-side: parse `window.__DSH_BOOT__` into a `BootManifest` (two views: npm-package rows for the module table, cordis-plugin rows for entry composition; malformed wire throws), build the module system, render the loading page, prefetch the `immediately` tier in parallel with Context/Loader setup, **await the prefetch before creating entries** (materialization is `tree.import`'s synchronous require, unprotected by fiber inject waiting; cross-package require edges such as i18n → runtime/client need every immediately-tier factory registered first — an empirically found 10–25% boot race otherwise), adopt the modules entry, create the graph rows, settle, sweep.

With no session, the composer stack places the presentation-only `DisabledInputBar` directly; once a session appears, the input body is swapped for the strictly bound InputBar; the textarea may be rebuilt, while the Hero and the layout skeleton are not.

 - The hub (trigger/decoration registries + send orchestration) takes the slash/command services as optional `ctx.get()` dependencies: without ui-slash or the command surfaces, input still sends and receives normally — graceful degradation.
 - Each materialized Session has exactly one `SessionInputShell` (the facade), created and torn down with the session scope; with no session, no input machine is built. `ConversationRoot` is itself the `session-maybe` resident shell, holding HeroShell, the Workspace picker, the composer stack, and the chain-fallback frame.
-- With no session the shell renders the presentation-only `DisabledInputBar`; once `connectWorkspace` returns a blank session, only the input body is swapped for the strict-session InputBar. The textarea may be rebuilt here, while `ConversationRoot`, the Hero, and the layout skeleton hold; blank → engaging/active stays the same session-bound InputBar, with the textarea never rebuilt on a phase flip.
+- The composer bar is one `session-maybe` slot entry rendered unconditionally: with no session the same InputBar renders inert (machine faces absent, `disabled` owner prop), and once `connectWorkspace` returns a blank session the same instance goes live — the textarea DOM survives the no-session → blank transition and every later phase flip; `ConversationRoot`, the Hero, and the layout skeleton hold throughout.
 - ConversationRoot's Hero criterion is `sessionId === undefined || (composerPhase === 'blank' && (openState === 'open' || openState === 'loading'))`. The first submit enters engaging synchronously, and a failure keeps the composer and the error context rather than falling back to the blank Hero; the sidebar's blank bit flips false only after a prompt is successfully accepted.
 - Sending unifies in the hub defaultSink: after an optimistic draft clear it goes only through `session.prompt {mode:'queue'|'steer'}`; backfill happens only when it fails and the live draft is still empty — a user who has kept typing is never overwritten. No Draft materialize or attach transaction exists.
 - When the blank Hero re-picks the Workspace, the shell calls `connectWorkspace`; if the target session differs, the non-empty draft moves from the current shell to the target shell before the new id is opened, and the old blank session survives but is no longer current.

@@ -18,7 +18,9 @@ Placement and policy rulings folded into this decision:
 
 - **Not the `ctx.fs` seam.** `packages/fs/` is the model/session-facing storage stack (policy events, sandbox-swappable backends). Riding it would couple GUI browsing to the model's confinement backend — swapping `fs-sandbox` for the model must never change GUI behavior — and OS facts (home anchoring, hidden conventions) are not storage primitives. The picker seam stays presentation-free and model-free; `packages/host/` is its consumer-domain home.
 - **Dependency survey (hand-roll vs adopt).** Node's stdlib *is* the maintained cross-platform OS layer (`readdir(withFileTypes)`, `homedir`, path semantics); surveyed alternatives fail the dependency bar — file-manager packages (`node-file-manager`, `files-and-folders`, Syncfusion's provider) are whole HTTP apps (fit), drive-letter helpers (`drivelist` native addon, `windows-drive-letters` ~7y stale) fail health/proportionality. The browse backend is a thin adapter over stdlib.
-- **Hidden entries: return-and-flag.** The host stamps `hidden` (POSIX dot convention) and returns everything; the client filters. Display policy stays client-side, and the planned show-hidden toggle becomes a client-only change. Windows' `FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN` is not exposed by dirents — documented limitation until a native probe pays for itself.
+- **Hidden entries: return-and-flag.** The host stamps `hidden` (POSIX dot convention) and returns everything; the client filters. Display policy stays client-side, and the show-hidden toggle shipped as exactly that client-only change: a fixed-label footer toggle whose state lives in the pressed presentation (`aria-pressed` + check glyph), a dot-led path-draft prefix reveals the hidden entries it names, and the current selection is exempt from both the hidden and the prefix filter (it anchors the two-pane view). Windows' `FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN` is not exposed by dirents — documented limitation until a native probe pays for itself.
+- **Path-editor cancel scope: the dialog card.** The browse client's path editor cancels on Escape and on focus leaving the card, both observed at a card-scope wrapper rather than the input — after Tab parks focus on a filtered row the input is off the event path, yet Escape must collapse the editor (not the dialog) and a later focus departure must still cancel. Non-cancel exemptions: window/tab focus loss, in-card focus moves, and pointer paths (rows and the toggle suppress focus steal on mousedown while editing). Separators for seeding and draft-tail filtering are inferred from `listing.home`; the wire-field alternative below records the deferred authoritative form. Combobox semantics between the editor and the list it filters (`aria-expanded`/`aria-controls`/active-descendant, result announcements) are likewise deferred — today they read to assistive tech as separate widgets.
+- **Navigation lands selection-anchored, quiet, and bounded.** Away from the display root (the same collapse the crumb header renders, so crumbs and pane shape never disagree), the landing is two-pane: the target's actual parent-level entry re-selected (platform case folding on Windows), its children on the right, so a crumb jump reads as stepping back one pane rather than collapsing to a single column. Target and parent legs land as **one frame** when the parent leg settles within the 200ms wait bound — the stale view keeps rendering until then, so navigation swaps the panes without an intermediate single-pane flash — and past the bound the target commits alone at once (an Enter-submitted navigation is never held hostage by a stalled parent) with the late parent leg upgrading the landing in place. The parent leg runs under the landing's supersession scope and is aborted on the wire by any newer intent (Escape inside the landing window therefore withdraws the whole navigation); a failed parent leg, or a truncated parent window lacking the target, leaves the single-pane landing — the upgrade must never orphan the selection it exists to anchor. The loading indicator follows the same quiet rule: it floats over the content's bottom-right corner (never a layout-shifting row; the truncated/error rows own the bottom left and keep rendering through a scan) and only once a scan outlives a 300ms silence window, so a local listing swaps with nothing shown at all. Row picks are deliberately exempt from the one-frame rule: a pick's immediate pane split is its selected-state feedback (aria-current, crumbs following), while a navigation has nothing to acknowledge the click but the swap itself. Both timing constants are calibrated for local enumeration; a remote deployment (one RPC per level, commonly 100–400ms) would sit inside the silence window with no pressed state on the crumbs — revisit the window or add pressed feedback when a remote consumer lands.
 - **Symlinks: follow for enterability.** `stat` probes symlinks (broken/cyclic → skipped); crumbs keep the logical path the operator navigated, and `workspace.create` already canonicalizes via realpath at adoption.
 - **Listing levels are bounded, and streamed.** One `list` call returns at most `maxEntries` rows (config, default 1000 — GitHub's web-UI directory-listing bound). The level streams via `opendir` into a name-sorted window of `maxEntries + 1` candidates, so memory stays O(maxEntries) and enterability probing touches only windowed candidates; the wire `DirectoryListing` carries a required `truncated` flag so the client states incompleteness instead of silently missing tail entries. A windowed broken symlink is not backfilled from beyond the window — the eviction already marks the level truncated. Window insertion is binary with an O(1) full-window tail rejection (an oversized level must not pay a window scan per dirent), and `list(path, signal)` threads the carrier's request signal so a scan of a stalled network directory cannot outlive a disconnected caller — every await in the scan (open, each read, each symlink probe) races the signal, an aborted exit abandons rather than awaits the close (Node queues close behind in-flight reads), and abandoned settlements are swallowed so cleanup can never surface as an unhandled rejection. An unbounded level is a memory/responsiveness hole for large or adversarial directories.
 - **Whole-filesystem scope, no roots config.** `workspace.create` accepts arbitrary paths and the API serves bash-driving methods, so a browse root would be UX scoping, not a boundary; configurability without a consumer fails the evidence bar. Deferred until a deployment needs it.
@@ -30,10 +32,13 @@ Placement and policy rulings folded into this decision:
 - **One uniform seam method set (`pick(): path`).** Rejected: an in-app browser cannot be served behind a single host-side call — the browsing loop lives in the client and needs primitives on the wire; the native chooser cannot implement primitives. The interaction difference is irreducible, hence the discriminant.
 - **Direct stdlib calls inside apiproxy (no seam).** Rejected: keeps the gateway the only swap point (source edits), loses fixture/test backends, and contradicts the plugin doctrine that motivated the work.
 - **Adopting a file-manager/drive-enumeration dependency.** Rejected per the survey above; recorded here as the dependency policy requires.
+- **A flip-label show-hidden toggle ("Hide hidden files").** Rejected: a flipping action label is ambiguous between state and action and doubles the negative; the fixed label with a pressed presentation states both at once.
+- **Pure relatedTarget blur cancellation (no mousedown suppression).** Rejected: Safari does not focus buttons on pointer down, so a click's focusout carries a null `relatedTarget` and would cancel the editor before the click lands; editing-scoped mousedown suppression plus the card-anchored relatedTarget guard covers pointer and keyboard paths together.
+- **A wire `separator` field on `DirectoryListing` (host stamps `path.sep`).** Deferred, not rejected: it is the authoritative form — a POSIX home directory containing a backslash defeats the `listing.home` heuristic — but it touches the seam type and every backend; the browse client's `separatorOf` carries a TODO pointing at this alternative until a wire change is next scheduled.
 
 ## Consequences
 
-- `cordis.yml` chooses the interaction; `apps/cli` mounts `-browse` (the shipped default — remote-capable picking out of the box), one row having swapped backend and UI together; `-native` remains the host-display alternative.
+- `cordis.yml` chooses the interaction; `apps/cli` mounts the [`-auto` chooser](../feature/2026-07-29-directory-picker-adaptive-default.md), which resolves the host's situation at boot and mounts `-native` or `-browse` itself, one row still swapping backend and UI together; composing a backend row directly pins the interaction.
 - The wire gains `host.listDirectory`/`host.createDirectory` and four error codes; the connection fixture serves a deterministic browse tree and a deterministic `pickDirectory` path for keyless assembled tests.
 - A future interaction (or an Electron provider of the `native` interaction) is one dual-face backend package — no gateway surgery, no ui-workspace edits.
 - `ApiProxyDefaults.pickDirectory` (test-only injection) is gone; tests provide a stub `ctx.directoryPicker` like any other service.

+# Agent Note: Experimental and internal package group
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-28-experimental-plugin-package-group.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+The [package hierarchy](../../../../packages/README.md) groups plugins by product role, but it cannot distinguish release packages from prototypes or internal-only packages. The team needs an obvious shared place for useful work that is not part of the official release.
+
+## Decision
+
+The subtree rules in [`packages/experimental/AGENTS.md`](../../../../packages/experimental/AGENTS.md) make `packages/experimental/<pkg>/` the required home for Cordis plugin packages whose whole public contract is experimental or internal-only. Package names remain `@deepseek-ai/dsh-<pkg>`.
+
+The group is the team's in-repository place to share engineering and product-manager prototypes: members can discover, run, review, and extend one another's work against the real plugin graph without implying product support.
+
+Official releases exclude this directory. A package enters a release only after moving to its product-role group; release packages cannot take runtime dependencies on packages here. Examples may use them, while any other runtime dependent also belongs here. Tests may use them as development dependencies.
+
+Experimental packages carry no stability, compatibility, migration, or support promise: they may change APIs, configuration, or data, or disappear without deprecation or migration. Internal-only packages may define narrower internal contracts but make no public release promise. Neither status relaxes engineering, security, documentation, lifecycle, testing, or snapshot requirements.
+
+The pending `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui-session-changes` `/diff` viewer and `/btw` plugin are examples governed by this rule. Promotion into an official release requires explicit review of the public contract, limitations, test evidence, and a named owner accepting stable-package obligations.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Keep experimental and internal-only packages in product-role groups with README labels.** Labels are easy to miss and cannot enforce dependency boundaries.
+
+**Treat every package as experimental until the first tagged release.** This provides no durable incubation boundary.
+
+**Develop prototypes and internal packages elsewhere.** This loses the real plugin graph, examples, snapshots, and lifecycle checks needed to evaluate them.
+
+## Consequences
+
+The path makes release exclusion and dependency blast radius visible while retaining the real plugin graph for team sharing. It gives up product-role colocation and creates path churn on promotion, while the npm name remains stable. The subtree rules, repository [current-owner/current-need rule](../../../../packages/AGENTS.md), and unchanged engineering gates limit junk-drawer growth. Because official release tooling does not yet exist, contributor policy enforces the exclusion; when such tooling is added, the directory is its required exclusion boundary.

+# Agent Note: 实验性与内部专用包（package）分组
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-28-experimental-plugin-package-group.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+[包层级结构](../../../../packages/README.md)按产品角色对插件分组，但无法区分发布包、原型和内部专用包。团队需要一个明确的共享位置，存放不属于官方发布版本的有价值成果。
+
+## 决策
+
+[`packages/experimental/AGENTS.md`](../../../../packages/experimental/AGENTS.md) 中的子树规则要求所有公开契约整体处于实验状态或仅限内部使用的 Cordis 插件包位于 `packages/experimental/<pkg>/`。包名仍为 `@deepseek-ai/dsh-<pkg>`。
+
+该分组供团队在仓库内共享工程人员和产品经理制作的原型：成员可以基于真实插件图发现、运行、评审并扩展彼此的原型，但这不代表产品会提供支持。
+
+官方发布版本不包含此目录。包只有移入对应的产品角色分组后才会纳入发布版本；发布包不得在运行时依赖此处的包。示例可以使用这些包；其他任何运行时依赖方也必须位于此处。测试可以将它们用作开发依赖。
+
+实验性包不提供稳定性、兼容性、迁移或支持保证：其 API、配置或数据可以变更，包也可以移除，均不提供弃用期或迁移路径。内部专用包可以定义范围更窄的内部契约，但不作公开发布承诺。无论哪种状态，都不降低仓库对工程、安全、文档、生命周期、测试或快照的要求。
+
+尚待完成的 `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui-session-changes` `/diff` 查看器和 `/btw` 插件都受这项规则约束。将包提升为稳定包并纳入官方发布版本，需要明确评审其公开契约、限制和测试证据，并指定一名愿意承担稳定包义务的负责人。
+
+## 考虑过的替代方案
+
+**将实验性和内部专用包留在产品角色分组中，并用 README 标注。** 标注容易被忽略，也无法强制执行依赖边界。
+
+**首个带标签的版本发布前，将所有包都视为实验性。** 这无法提供持久的孵化边界。
+
+**在其他位置开发原型和内部专用包。** 这会失去评估它们所需的真实插件图、示例、快照和生命周期检查。
+
+## 后果
+
+该路径明确标示不纳入发布版本的包及其依赖影响范围，同时保留供团队共享成果的真实插件图。代价是这些包无法与同产品角色的包共置，提升并纳入发布版本时还会产生路径变动，但 npm 包名保持稳定。子树规则、仓库已有的[「必须有当前负责人和实际需求」规则](../../../../packages/AGENTS.md)以及保持不变的工程门禁，可限制该分组无序膨胀。由于官方发布工具尚不存在，目前由贡献者政策执行这项排除规则；添加发布工具后，必须以该目录为排除边界。

+# Agent Note: Launcher-owned session identity and exit line
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-28-launcher-owned-resume-identity.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+Two facts a launcher owns were shipped as deployment config keys on the TUI app bundle: `resumeSessionId` (which session `main` binds to) and `resumeCommand` (the exit hint template, with `{session}` interpolated). Neither varies by deployment — both are properties of how the process was invoked, which only the launcher knows.
+
+Routing them through YAML made them silently droppable. `@cordisjs/plugin-include` applies a targeted patch by replacing whole top-level keys (`target[key] = value`), so a personal `~/.dsh/config.yaml` patching the `tui-agent` entry's `config` replaces the shipped block entirely. A user overlay written to change provider and model therefore deleted every resume key it did not restate, and nothing reported it: absent `resumeCommand` legitimately means "no fallback configured".
+
+Both failures were live in one real overlay. The exit hint stopped printing, because the overlay omitted `resumeCommand`. Worse, the overlay carried `resumeSessionId: !!js process.env.RESUME_SESSION_ID` — a stale line from before [the env-var bridge was removed](../../archived/architecture/2026-07-24-dsh-commander-argument-adapter.md) — which overwrote the shipped `!!js "typeof resumeSessionId === 'string' ? …"` intake with a read of a variable nothing sets. `dsh --resume <valid-id>` then started a *fresh* session and said nothing, reproduced directly: the banner showed a newly minted id, not the requested one. The [`dsh meta`](../feature/2026-07-28-dsh-meta-source-workspace.md) note had recorded this silent resume as an unexplained pre-existing defect; the overlay's shallow replacement is the cause.
+
+A config key cannot express these facts safely, because the deployment is not the authority on them.
+
+## Decision
+
+Session identity and the exit line are launcher-owned context slots, provided before any Loader entry mounts. Neither appears in any `cordis.yml` nor in any plugin's `Config`.
+
+Both sit beside the existing `tuiResumeHost` host capability, which set the precedent — a resume host has always been a provided capability rather than config. Each slot is declared by the package that consumes it:
+
+- `CONFIGURED_AGENT_IDENTITIES_KEY` (`dsh-agent-loop`) carries launcher identities keyed by configured-agent `id`, each a `LauncherAgentIdentity` (`{ id: SessionId, resume: boolean }`). `agent-loop` applies the matching identity over its configured agent, replacing both identity keys, and takes the history-loading `resumeSessionId` path only when `resume` is set, because that path requires an existing log and fails loud without one. An absent slot leaves the configured identity untouched. The `tui` row resolves the same id through its own `sessionId` key, so the front door renders exactly the agent that was bound.
+- `TUI_GOODBYE_MESSAGE_KEY` (`dsh-tui`) carries the complete line printed once the terminal is released on exit. Absent prints nothing.
+
+Identity belongs to `agent-loop` because that is the plugin which creates configured agents, and because a patch replaces a row's whole `config`: an overlay repointing the agent row's model route would erase a launcher-set identity key. See [the shared-base overlay note](../simplification/2026-07-29-shared-base-config-overlays.md).
+
+`apps/cli` mints or selects the id and builds the line from the invocation it is reproducing, sharing one `resumeArgs` helper with the `/resume` execve handoff so the printed command and the in-place handoff cannot diverge. The line now names `--config` when one was passed, and reproduces `dsh meta --resume <id>` in meta mode — closing the mode-aware hint deferred by the `dsh meta` note, where a copied hint previously only worked from the checkout.
+
+**`ctx.provide` is the only channel from launcher argv into a Loader-mounted plugin.** Config `!!js` expressions evaluate as `with (entry.ctx) { eval(expr) }` (`vendor/loader/src/config/utils.ts`), so a bare identifier resolves against the entry's context and nothing else reaches it. The slot therefore cannot be removed while the app bundle is mounted from YAML; what changes is that it is now internal launcher↔app plumbing instead of a documented key a config author must wire correctly.
+
+The message is a plain string, not a callback. That forces the launcher to know the id before boot, which is why minting moved out of the app bundle — and it keeps exit free of awaited work after the terminal is released.
+
+The TUI owns rendering, not wording: it applies `displayText` before its own `palette.muted`, so a hostile `--config` path cannot inject terminal escapes into the exit line. Sanitizing means the launcher cannot embed its own ANSI.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Keep the keys and add built-in defaults in the app bundle.** Rejected: a default in code survives an overlay, but two ways to state one fact remain, and a config author can still set the key wrong — which is exactly how the stale `process.env.RESUME_SESSION_ID` line disabled resume.
+
+**Merge the app bundle into `apps/cli` and delete the slot entirely.** Rejected here, then [adopted later](../simplification/2026-07-29-shared-base-config-overlays.md) in a form this note did not consider: the composition moved into flat config files (`apps/cli/config/base.cordis.yml` plus a per-surface overlay) rather than into CLI code, so it never entered the `v8 ignore` process-wiring block, and the overlay extension points survive as ordinary row patches. The slot itself was not deleted — it moved to `dsh-agent-loop`, because a launcher fact still cannot travel through a replaceable config key.
+
+**Put the goodbye message on `TuiResumeHost`.** Rejected: an exit line is not a handoff capability, and a host that cannot replace its process may still want to print one. They are independent slots.
+
+**Have the host supply only the command text and let the TUI keep the `To resume this session:` prefix.** Rejected: the TUI would retain resume vocabulary for a string it no longer understands, and meta mode proves the launcher is the only component that knows what the command should say.
+
+**Let the TUI keep suppressing the line until the session is durably persisted.** Rejected: that check is why the exit path queried persistence and swallowed listing failures. A plain string cannot consult persistence, and misuse now fails loud through `agent-loop/config-start-failed` rather than silently resuming nothing.
+
+**A callback (`goodbyeMessage(agent)`) so the host could decide at exit time.** Rejected: it restores async work after `ui.stop()`, reintroducing a hang risk during teardown for a string that is already knowable at boot.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Removing two published `Config` keys is a breaking config change: a stale config naming either now fails schema validation at boot instead of degrading silently. Intended, and acceptable pre-release.
+- `TuiResumeHost` is unchanged, but `TuiRuntime` gains `goodbyeMessage`; `apps/cli` is the only provider.
+- The exit line prints even for a session with no log (launch, quit immediately). Using it then fails loud rather than starting a surprise session. This is the deliberate cost of dropping the persistence check.
+- `dsh-tui` no longer reads `sessionPersistence` at all: `currentResumeCommand`, `listWorkspaceSessions`, and its swallowed-error path are deleted, and the `/resume` selector's `sessionQuery` reads are now the only session discovery in the TUI.
+- The launcher mints session ids for its own app, so a non-CLI host that provides no slot keeps the bundle's own minting.
+
+## Testing
+
+`packages/ui/tui/tests/tui.spec.ts` pins the printed line, the absent-slot silence, and escape sanitization of a hostile message; the former two exit-suppression tests are replaced, since suppression is the behavior this change removes. `packages/core/agent-loop/tests/` drives the identity slot for the resume, launcher-minted, and no-slot cases.
+
+The load-bearing coverage is `apps/cli/tests/tui-keyless-smoke.e2e.ts`, which launches the real `apps/cli/src/bin.ts` in a PTY: one test asserts the exit line carries `--config`, and a regression test seeds a personal `config.yaml` that replaces the entire `agent-loop` config block and asserts the line still prints — encoding "an overlay cannot drop resume" as an executed contract rather than a comment.
+
+Verified live in tmux against the real personal overlay: the defect reproduced on unmodified staging (requested id ignored, fresh id in the banner), and on this branch the same overlay yields a printed exit line, a `--resume` that restores the prior turn, and a `/resume` selector marking the session `current · live · persisted`. A wrong id now fails loud.

+# Agent Note：由启动器持有的会话身份与退出行
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-28-launcher-owned-resume-identity.md) | 中文
+
+## Problem
+
+有两项本应由启动器持有的事实，却被作为 TUI 应用组合包上的部署配置键交付：`resumeSessionId`（`main` 绑定到哪个会话）与 `resumeCommand`（退出提示的模板，其中 `{session}` 会被插值）。二者都不随部署而变——它们都是进程被如何调用的属性，而这一点只有启动器知道。
+
+把它们经由 YAML 传递，使其可被静默丢弃。`@cordisjs/plugin-include` 施加定向补丁的方式是替换整个顶层键（`target[key] = value`），因此一份对 `tui-agent` 条目的 `config` 打补丁的个人 `~/.dsh/config.yaml`，会把交付时的整块内容整体替换掉。于是，一份为改动 provider 和 model 而写的用户 overlay，会删掉它未重述的每一个 resume 键，且没有任何东西报告这一点：缺失 `resumeCommand` 合法地意味着「未配置回退」。
+
+两处失效在同一份真实的 overlay 中同时存在。退出提示不再打印，因为该 overlay 省略了 `resumeCommand`。更糟的是，该 overlay 带着 `resumeSessionId: !!js process.env.RESUME_SESSION_ID`——一行来自 [env 变量桥被移除](../../archived/architecture/2026-07-24-dsh-commander-argument-adapter.md)之前的陈旧代码——它用一次对某个无人设置的变量的读取，覆盖掉了交付时的 `!!js "typeof resumeSessionId === 'string' ? …"` 入口。此后 `dsh --resume <valid-id>` 会开启一个*全新*会话且什么都不说，并被直接复现：banner 显示的是一个新铸造的 id，而非所请求的那个。[`dsh meta`](../feature/2026-07-28-dsh-meta-source-workspace.md) note 曾把这次静默的 resume 记为一处无法解释的既有缺陷；而 overlay 的浅层替换正是其成因。
+
+一个配置键无法安全地表达这些事实，因为部署方并非它们的权威。
+
+## Decision
+
+会话身份与退出行是由启动器持有的上下文槽位，在任何 Loader 条目挂载之前提供。二者都不出现在任何 `cordis.yml` 中，也不出现在任何插件的 `Config` 中。
+
+这两个槽位与既有的 `tuiResumeHost` 宿主能力并列，后者确立了先例——resume 宿主一直是一项被提供的能力，而非配置。每个槽位都由消费它的包声明：
+
+- `CONFIGURED_AGENT_IDENTITIES_KEY`（`dsh-agent-loop`）按所配置 agent 的 `id` 承载启动器身份，每项为一个 `LauncherAgentIdentity`（`{ id: SessionId, resume: boolean }`）。`agent-loop` 将匹配的身份覆盖到其所配置的 agent 上，替换两个身份键；并且仅当 `resume` 被置位时才走加载历史的 `resumeSessionId` 路径，因为该路径要求存在一份日志、否则会明确报错。槽位缺失则保留配置中的身份不变。`tui` 配置项通过自身的 `sessionId` 键解析同一个 id，因此前端入口渲染的正是被绑定的那个 agent。
+- `TUI_GOODBYE_MESSAGE_KEY`（`dsh-tui`）承载退出时终端释放后打印一次的完整行。缺失则什么都不打印。
+
+身份归属于 `agent-loop`，因为它才是创建所配置 agent 的插件；也因为 patch 会整体替换配置项的 `config`：重新指向 agent 配置项模型路由的 overlay 会抹掉启动器设置的身份键。参见[共享 base overlay note](../simplification/2026-07-29-shared-base-config-overlays.md)。
+
+`apps/cli` 铸造或选定 id，并依据它所复现的那次调用构建该行，与 `/resume` 的 execve 移交共用同一个 `resumeArgs` 助手，从而使打印出的命令与原地移交不会分歧。该行现在会在传入了 `--config` 时命名它，并在 meta 模式下复现 `dsh meta --resume <id>`——从而收口了 `dsh meta` note 所推迟的随 mode 变化的提示，在那里被复制的提示此前只有在检出目录中才有效。
+
+**`ctx.provide` 是从启动器 argv 进入被 Loader 挂载的插件的唯一通道。** 配置的 `!!js` 表达式会以 `with (entry.ctx) { eval(expr) }`（`vendor/loader/src/config/utils.ts`）求值，因此一个裸标识符会针对该条目的上下文解析，别无它物可达。于是只要应用 bundle 仍从 YAML 挂载，这个槽位就无法被移除；变化之处在于它现在是启动器↔应用之间的内部管线，而不再是一个配置作者必须正确接线的、有文档记载的键。
+
+该消息是一个纯字符串，而非回调。这迫使启动器在启动前就知道 id，也正是铸造从应用 bundle 中移出的原因——并且它让退出在终端释放之后免于任何被 await 的工作。
+
+TUI 持有渲染，而非措辞：它在自己的 `palette.muted` 之前先应用 `displayText`，因此一个恶意的 `--config` 路径无法把终端转义序列注入退出行。做净化意味着启动器无法嵌入自己的 ANSI。
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**保留这些键，并在应用组合包中加入内建默认值。** 拒绝：代码中的默认值能在 overlay 下存活，但表达同一事实的两种途径依然并存，而配置作者仍可把键设错——这正是那行陈旧的 `process.env.RESUME_SESSION_ID` 使 resume 失效的方式。
+
+**把应用组合包合并进 `apps/cli` 并彻底删除该槽位。** 此处拒绝，但后来以本 note 未曾设想的形式[被采纳](../simplification/2026-07-29-shared-base-config-overlays.md)：组合被搬进平铺的配置文件（`apps/cli/config/base.cordis.yml` 加各 surface 一份 overlay），而非搬进 CLI 代码，因此从未进入 `v8 ignore` 进程接线块，overlay 的扩展点也作为普通配置项 patch 保留了下来。槽位本身并未被删除——它迁移到了 `dsh-agent-loop`，因为启动器的事实依然不能经由一个可被整体替换的配置键传递。
+
+**把 goodbye 消息放到 `TuiResumeHost` 上。** 拒绝：退出行不是一项移交能力，而一个无法替换自身进程的宿主仍可能想要打印一行。它们是相互独立的槽位。
+
+**让宿主只提供命令文本，而由 TUI 保留 `To resume this session:` 前缀。** 拒绝：TUI 将为一个它已不再理解的字符串保留 resume 词汇，而 meta 模式证明启动器才是唯一知道该命令应当说什么的组件。
+
+**让 TUI 继续在会话被持久化之前抑制该行。** 拒绝：这项检查正是退出路径要查询持久化并吞掉列举失败的原因。一个纯字符串无法查询持久化，而误用现在会经由 `agent-loop/config-start-failed` 明确报错，而不是静默地恢复了个空。
+
+**用一个回调（`goodbyeMessage(agent)`）让宿主能在退出时决定。** 拒绝：它会在 `ui.stop()` 之后恢复异步工作，为一个在启动时就已可知的字符串，重新引入拆解期间的挂起风险。
+
+## Consequences
+
+- 移除两个已发布的 `Config` 键是一次破坏性配置变更：一份命名了任一键的陈旧配置，现在会在启动时的 schema 校验中明确报错，而不再静默降级。这是有意为之，且在预发布阶段可以接受。
+- `TuiResumeHost` 保持不变，但 `TuiRuntime` 新增 `goodbyeMessage`；`apps/cli` 是唯一的提供方。
+- 即便某会话没有日志（启动后立即退出），退出行也会打印。此时使用它会明确报错，而不是开启一个意外的会话。这是丢弃持久化检查的有意代价。
+- `dsh-tui` 完全不再读取 `sessionPersistence`：`currentResumeCommand`、`listWorkspaceSessions` 及其吞错路径都被删除，`/resume` 选择器的 `sessionQuery` 读取如今是 TUI 中唯一的会话发现途径。
+- 启动器为其自身的应用铸造会话 id，因此一个不提供任何槽位的非 CLI 宿主，仍保留 bundle 自带的铸造逻辑。
+
+## Testing
+
+`packages/ui/tui/tests/tui.spec.ts` 钉住打印出的行、槽位缺失时的静默，以及对恶意消息的转义净化；此前那两个退出抑制测试被替换，因为抑制正是本次改动移除的行为。`packages/core/agent-loop/tests/` 为 resume、启动器铸造与无槽位三种情形驱动身份槽位。
+
+承重的覆盖是 `apps/cli/tests/tui-keyless-smoke.e2e.ts`，它在一个 PTY 中拉起真实的 `apps/cli/src/bin.ts`：一个测试断言退出行携带 `--config`，一个回归测试植入一份个人 `config.yaml` 来替换整块 `agent-loop` 配置块并断言该行仍会打印——把「overlay 不能丢掉 resume」编码为一条被执行的契约，而非一句注释。
+
+在 tmux 中针对真实的个人 overlay 做过实测：该缺陷在未修改的 staging 上复现（所请求的 id 被忽略，banner 里是新的 id），而在本分支上同一份 overlay 会产出一行打印的退出行、一个能恢复上一轮次的 `--resume`，以及一个把该会话标记为 `current · live · persisted` 的 `/resume` 选择器。错误的 id 现在会明确报错。

+# Agent Note: user-settings seam (`ctx.settings`) and the file provider
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-28-user-settings-seam.zh.md)
+
+> Scope: the `packages/settings/` capability family — the abstract seam, the file-backed provider, and the composition boundary between user settings and `cordis.yml`. The [web config-tree note](2026-07-24-web-config-tree-boot-and-transport-layering.md) recorded "the profile write path" as a deferral; this seam is that write path's owner. Consumer migrations (theme, locale, default model route) and the web `settings.*` RPC surface are follow-ups, not part of this note's shipped scope.
+
+## Problem
+
+User-editable configuration had no owner: `dsh web` read a cwd-anchored profile json through a static whitelist with no write path, the TUI read `$DSH_HOME/config.yaml` raw loader patches, and both froze at boot. A personal-settings page (web GUI) needs one cross-surface user layer with schema validation, a write path, and hot propagation — and peer products (Codex, Claude Code, Kimi, OpenCode, Pi) all converged on separating user preferences from extension composition. Loader-reactive config updates cannot carry this: `fiber.update` swaps entry config in place, so a plugin that read config at construction observes nothing and no callback tells it otherwise.
+
+## Decision
+
+**Two planes with a litmus test.** `cordis.yml` (+ Include patches) stays the composition plane: which plugins exist, wiring, deployment config, owned by the orchestrator and upgraded with the product. A settings namespace carries only the user-editable subset; the test is "should the personal config page edit it?" Values live in both planes without ambiguity because layering is the contract: schema defaults, then the registrant's composition `base` (its entry-config subset), then the user document section.
+
+**Three-package seam mirroring `session-persistence/`.** `dsh-settings` owns the abstract `Settings` service: namespace registry, layered resolution, schema validation, per-namespace deep-equal change detection, and the `settings/updated` commit event. Providers implement only `writable`/`load()`/`persist(ns, section)` and push externally observed documents through the protected `publish(doc)` — so hot-update semantics are identical across providers, and a network configuration-center backend (nacos-style, possibly read-only) is a sibling package away. `dsh-settings-local` is the file provider: YAML/JSON under `resolveSpec` (explicit defaulting to `<DSH_HOME>/settings.yaml`), chokidar watch, read-modify-write persists under a cross-process writer lock with atomic `0600` tmp+rename commits, leaf-level diff patching of the written namespace (comments survive untouched nodes), and content-equality self-write suppression ([write-path integrity note](2026-07-30-settings-write-path-integrity.md)).
+
+**Registrations are caller-fiber effects.** `register()` runs through the service proxy, so `this.ctx` is the registrant's context and the registration rides `ctx.effect`: disposing the registrant removes the namespace and its watchers (proven by the HMR disposal test), while the user's section keeps living in storage for the next owner.
+
+**Fail loud at rest, last-good in motion.** Boot-time and registration-time validation throw (invalid stored section fails the registering plugin; an existing-but-unparsable document fails provider load). Once live, a bad external edit warns and keeps the last good state per namespace — a hot reload must never take the process down. This asymmetry mirrors `Include.refresh()` and Kimi's safe runtime reload.
+
+**Consumers stay optional-by-construction.** A consumer registers inside `ctx.inject(['settings'], …)`; without a mounted provider it keeps resolving entry config alone, so every existing composition, demo, and snapshot works unchanged and migration is per-plugin.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **Include write-back as the user layer** (per-plugin config pages writing loader entry files, cordis-webui style): write-back would target per-composition files, binding user preferences to one `cordis.yml`; a per-user layer must survive template upgrades and serve TUI and web from one document.
+- **Loader-reactive `fiber.update` as the propagation channel**: constructor-time reads observe nothing; the seam's explicit `watch()` makes hot-update a consumer contract instead of framework magic.
+- **A domain-aware settings service** (getters per product area): the coupling objection from design review stands; the service stores, validates, and publishes — domain meaning stays with the registrant that owns the schema.
+- **Multi-layer precedence now** (system/managed/project tiers à la Codex/Claude Code): deferred until a real second layer exists; the resolve step is the single place layering would extend.
+- **A cross-process lockfile now** (Pi's proper-lockfile): initially deferred as "atomic replace plus watcher convergence until real contention shows up" — review showed convergence loses unobserved sibling namespaces, so the deferral is superseded by the [write-path integrity note](2026-07-30-settings-write-path-integrity.md)'s hand-rolled writer lock.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Deferred, in dependency order: the web `settings.raw`/`settings.describe`/`settings.update` RPC surface (which must redact `role('secret')` fields before exposure); first consumer migrations (`ui-theme`, locale, api-gateway default route) retiring `PROFILE_MAPPINGS` and the profile json; `${env:VAR}` value indirection for secrets; provider-side layering. The keyless snapshot obligation lands with the first model- or product-user-visible consumer, not with this infrastructure step.

+# Agent Note：用户设置 seam（`ctx.settings`）与文件 provider
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-28-user-settings-seam.md) | 中文
+
+> 范围：`packages/settings/` 能力族——抽象 seam、文件 provider，以及用户设置与 `cordis.yml` 的组合边界。[web config-tree note](2026-07-24-web-config-tree-boot-and-transport-layering.md) 曾把"profile 写路径"记为延后项；本 seam 就是该写路径的归属。消费者迁移（主题、语言、默认模型路由）与 web `settings.*` RPC 面是后续工作，不在本 note 已交付范围内。
+
+## 问题
+
+用户可编辑配置没有归属：`dsh web` 经静态白名单读 cwd 锚定的 profile json 且无写路径，TUI 读 `$DSH_HOME/config.yaml` 裸 loader patch，两者都在启动时冻结。个人设置页（web GUI）需要一个跨 surface 的用户层，带 schema 校验、写路径与热传导——同类产品（Codex、Claude Code、Kimi、OpenCode、Pi）也全部收敛于"用户偏好与扩展组合分离"。Loader 的 reactive 配置更新承载不了这件事：`fiber.update` 原地替换 entry config，构造期读过配置的插件毫无感知，也没有任何回调通知它。
+
+## 决策
+
+**两个面，一条判定。**`cordis.yml`（+ Include patches）仍是组合面：有哪些插件、接线、部署配置，归 orchestrator 所有并随产品升级。settings namespace 只承载用户可编辑子集；判定是"个人配置页应该能改它吗？"值可同时存在于两个面而不歧义，因为分层就是契约：schema 默认值，然后注册方的组合 `base`（其 entry 配置子集），最后用户文档分节。
+
+**镜像 `session-persistence/` 的三包 seam。**`dsh-settings` 拥有抽象 `Settings` 服务：namespace 注册表、分层解析、schema 校验、按 namespace 深相等变更检测，以及 `settings/updated` 提交事件。provider 只实现 `writable`/`load()`/`persist(ns, section)`，并通过受保护的 `publish(doc)` 推入外部观察到的文档——因此热更新语义对所有 provider 一致，网络配置中心后端（nacos 类，可能只读）只是一个平级包的距离。`dsh-settings-local` 是文件 provider：`resolveSpec` 显式默认到 `<DSH_HOME>/settings.yaml` 的 YAML/JSON、chokidar 监听、跨进程写锁下以 `0600` tmp+rename 原子提交的读-改-写 persist、对被写 namespace 的叶子级 diff 修补（未触碰节点的注释得以保留）、按内容相等抑制自写（[write-path integrity note](2026-07-30-settings-write-path-integrity.md)）。
+
+**注册是调用方 fiber 上的 effect。**`register()` 经服务代理调用，`this.ctx` 即注册方 context，注册挂在 `ctx.effect` 上：dispose 注册方即移除 namespace 及其观察者（HMR disposal 测试证明），而用户的分节继续留在存储中等待下一任 owner。
+
+**静止时响亮报错，运行中保留最后可用值。**启动期与注册期校验直接抛错（非法存量分节使注册插件加载失败；存在但不可解析的文档使 provider 加载失败）。运行中坏的外部编辑只告警并按 namespace 保留最后可用状态——热重载绝不拖垮进程。该不对称镜像 `Include.refresh()` 与 Kimi 的安全运行时重载。
+
+**消费者天然可选。**消费者在 `ctx.inject(['settings'], …)` 内注册；不挂 provider 时仍只按 entry 配置解析，因此所有既有组合、demo、snapshot 原样工作，迁移按插件渐进。
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **以 Include 写回为用户层**（cordis-webui 式的按插件配置页写 loader entry 文件）：写回目标是按组合的文件，会把用户偏好绑死在某个 `cordis.yml` 上；用户层必须在模板升级中存活，并以同一文档服务 TUI 与 web。
+- **以 Loader reactive `fiber.update` 为传导通道**：构造期读取毫无感知；seam 的显式 `watch()` 把热更新变成消费者契约而非框架魔法。
+- **领域化的 settings 服务**（按产品域的 getter）：设计评审中的耦合反对成立；服务只做存储、校验、发布——领域含义留给拥有 schema 的注册方。
+- **现在就做多层优先级**（Codex/Claude Code 式 system/managed/project 层级）：延后到真实第二层出现；resolve 步骤是分层未来唯一的扩展点。
+- **现在就上跨进程锁**（Pi 的 proper-lockfile）：最初以"原子替换加 watcher 收敛，真实冲突出现再说"为由延后——评审发现收敛会丢失未观察到的同级 namespace，因此该延后已被 [write-path integrity note](2026-07-30-settings-write-path-integrity.md) 的手写写锁取代。
+
+## 后果
+
+按依赖顺序延后：web `settings.raw`/`settings.describe`/`settings.update` RPC 面（暴露前必须对 `role('secret')` 字段脱敏）；首批消费者迁移（`ui-theme`、语言、api-gateway 默认路由）并退役 `PROFILE_MAPPINGS` 与 profile json；面向密钥的 `${env:VAR}` 值间接引用；provider 侧分层。keyless snapshot 义务随第一个模型或产品用户可见的消费者落地，而非本基础设施步骤。

+# Agent Note: request-level LLM configuration and the credential seam
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-29-request-level-llm-config-credentials.zh.md)
+
+> Scope: the first production consumers of `ctx.settings` (the two LLM adapter plugins), the new `packages/credentials/` capability family, and the `packages/util/atomic-write` extraction. The follow-up wire surface (`settings.*`/`credentials.*` RPC, secret-role masking, the web settings form) is a separate PR and not part of this note's shipped scope.
+
+## Problem
+
+The [settings seam](2026-07-28-user-settings-seam.md) shipped without a production consumer, and the LLM adapters were the motivating one: both froze `apiKey`/`baseURL`/catalog into adapter instances at plugin load, so a changed key or endpoint needed a process restart, and a missing key failed plugin load — the worst possible first-run posture for a personal config page ("store a key, then restart"). Secrets were also headed the wrong way: the natural move (put `apiKey` in the settings document) would have forced masking, server-side backfill on `replace`, and dotfiles-sync warnings, a mitigation stack for a problem peer products simply do not have — Codex (`env_key` + auth.json), Reasonix (`api_key_env` + home `.env`), OpenCode/Pi (`auth.json`), Claude Code (`apiKeyHelper`) all keep secrets out of configuration files.
+
+## Decision
+
+**Per-request resolution, not fiber rebuilds.** The adapters take an options thunk (and a per-stream credential resolver) instead of frozen construction facts, resolving once per operation — the Pi pattern, with its tested semantics: two requests straddling a change see two configurations, one request resolves exactly once, and an in-flight stream keeps the facts it started with. This deletes the entire swap machinery a rebuild design needs (`DUPLICATE_ADAPTER` ordering, `NO_ADAPTER` windows, a deferred-activation state machine) and makes a missing key a *request-time* actionable failure (`MISSING_CREDENTIAL` naming every entry point) while the route stays registered and the catalog stays browsable. The one registration-captured fact — the retry policy the `ctx.llm` registry snapshots at `registerAdapter` (plus pi-ai's route *set*) — re-registers the same adapter instance in one synchronous section when it changes.
+
+**Secrets are references, values live behind `ctx.credentials`.** Configuration (both planes) carries `apiKeyEnv: DEEPSEEK_API_KEY`; the three-package credential seam resolves it per operation. `credentials-local` layers the live process environment (read-only, wins — a launch-time override is operator intent and must be *visibly* read-only, so shadowed writes reject instead of appearing to succeed) over `$DSH_HOME/.env` (writable, byte-preserving line edits, a quoting ladder dotenv reads back verbatim, wholesale snapshot replacement on reload so a deleted entry never lingers — the Claude Code additive-reapply lesson). Resolution order in the adapters is literal `apiKey` first (preserving the historical `config.apiKey ?? env` observable semantics), then the seam, then — only without a mounted seam — the raw environment variable.
+
+**Per-plugin namespaces, schema ≡ `Config`.** Each adapter registers its own namespace (`llm-deepseek`, `llm-pi-ai`) with its plugin `Config` schema and its `cordis.yml` entry as the composition `base` — a settings section is the same YAML shape as the entry config, and `resolveAdapterOptions`/`resolveProfiles` stay the one explicit resolve step for both. A live snapshot failing a beyond-schema bound keeps the last good facts (the seam's last-good philosophy extended one level up); the entry config itself still fails load. pi-ai's `providers` became a dict keyed by route so base and user layers merge per provider and the route set is structural; the array shape fails loud with migration directions, and an empty dict is the valid dormant posture — a composition ships the adapter bare and every route stays a user-plane decision.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **A bridge plugin (`dsh-llm-models`) owning one unified `models` dict** — with per-plugin namespaces there is nothing left to bridge, and the adapter-mapping rules it needed were pure invented indirection.
+- **Secrets in settings.yaml under `role('secret')` masking** — deleting the problem (references) beats mitigating it (mask + backfill + sync warnings); the coding-agent cohort is unanimous.
+- **Registry-level live retry policy** — making `providerRetryPolicy` re-read per call would silently change the `ctx.llm` capture contract every registration relies on; re-registering the route in place keeps that contract and stays observable.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Onboarding is restart-free end to end (pinned by the `missing-credential` headless snapshot and the credentials-rotation composition tests): boot keyless, browse the catalog, store the key, prompt again. The demos mount `settings-local` + `credentials-local` by default and inline no `!!js` key plumbing. `runLoaderSmoke` gained `expectedExitCode` so a designed failure surface can be pinned rather than masked. Deferred: the wire/UI surface must redact `role('secret')` fields before any RPC exposes `describe()`, settings-layer arrays still replace wholesale (the deepseek `models` list), and a settings section cannot remove a composition-provided pi-ai route (only override or extend). Review of this seam later reworked where the store lives and who may read it, made one request resolve one configuration generation, and made route replacement atomic ([credential boundaries note](2026-07-30-credential-boundaries-and-atomic-registration.md)).

+# Agent Note：请求级 LLM 配置与凭据 seam
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-29-request-level-llm-config-credentials.md) | 中文
+
+> 范围：`ctx.settings` 的第一批生产消费方（两个 LLM 适配器插件）、新增的 `packages/credentials/` 能力族，以及 `packages/util/atomic-write` 的抽取。后续的 wire 面（`settings.*`/`credentials.*` RPC、secret 角色脱敏、web 设置表单）是单独的 PR，不在本 note 已交付范围内。
+
+## 问题
+
+[settings seam](2026-07-28-user-settings-seam.md) 落地时没有生产消费方，而 LLM 适配器正是当初驱动该 seam 的那个消费方：两个适配器都在插件加载时把 `apiKey`/`baseURL`/catalog 冻结进适配器实例，改密钥或端点就要重启进程，密钥缺失则直接使插件加载失败——对个人配置页而言，这是最糟糕的首次运行姿态（「先存密钥，再重启」）。机密的走向也不对：顺理成章的做法（把 `apiKey` 放进设置文档）会被迫引入脱敏、`replace` 时的服务端回填与 dotfiles 同步告警，为一个同类产品根本没有的问题堆起一整摞缓解措施——Codex（`env_key` + auth.json）、Reasonix（`api_key_env` + 家目录 `.env`）、OpenCode/Pi（`auth.json`）、Claude Code（`apiKeyHelper`）全都把机密挡在配置文件之外。
+
+## 决策
+
+**按请求解析，而非重建 fiber。**适配器改为接收一个 options thunk（外加按流调用的凭据解析器），不再持有冻结的构造期事实，每个操作解析一次——即 Pi 的模式，连同其经测试固定的语义：跨越一次变更的两个请求看到两份配置，一个请求恰好解析一次，进行中的流保持其起始事实。这删掉了重建式设计所需的整套切换机制（`DUPLICATE_ADAPTER` 顺序问题、`NO_ADAPTER` 窗口、延迟激活状态机），并把密钥缺失变成*请求时*可行动的失败（`MISSING_CREDENTIAL` 点名每个配置入口），同时路由保持注册、catalog 保持可浏览。唯一在注册期捕获的事实——`ctx.llm` 注册表在 `registerAdapter` 时快照的重试策略（外加 pi-ai 的路由*集合*）——在其变化时于一个同步区段内原地重新注册同一适配器实例。
+
+**机密是引用，值藏在 `ctx.credentials` 背后。**配置（两个面）携带 `apiKeyEnv: DEEPSEEK_API_KEY`；三包凭据 seam 按操作解析它。`credentials-local` 把活跃进程环境（只读、优先——启动时覆盖是操作者意图，必须*可见地*只读，因此被遮蔽的写入直接拒绝而不是表面成功）叠加在 `$DSH_HOME/.env` 之上（可写、保字节行级编辑、dotenv 能逐字读回的引号阶梯、重载时整体替换快照使删除的条目绝不滞留——来自 Claude Code 增量重放（additive reapply）的教训）。适配器内的解析顺序为：字面 `apiKey` 优先（保留历史 `config.apiKey ?? env` 的可观察语义），然后是 seam，最后——仅在未挂载 seam 时——原始环境变量。
+
+**按插件划分 namespace，schema ≡ `Config`。**每个适配器注册自己的 namespace（`llm-deepseek`、`llm-pi-ai`），schema 用其插件 `Config` schema，组合 `base` 用其 `cordis.yml` 条目——settings 分节与 entry 配置是同一种 YAML 形状，`resolveAdapterOptions`/`resolveProfiles` 对两者仍是唯一的显式 resolve 步骤。存活快照若违反 schema 之外的约束，则保留最后可用事实（seam 的最后可用值哲学向上延伸一层）；entry 配置本身仍会加载失败。pi-ai 的 `providers` 改为以路由为键的字典，base 层与用户层因此按提供方合并，路由集合也由结构直接表达；数组形状响亮失败并给出迁移指引，而空字典是合法的休眠姿态——组合可以裸挂该适配器，把每一条路由都留给用户面决定。
+
+## 曾考虑的替代方案
+
+- **由桥接插件（`dsh-llm-models`）持有统一的 `models` 字典**——有了按插件划分的 namespace，就没有什么可桥接的了；它所需的适配器映射规则纯属凭空发明的间接层。
+- **把机密放进 settings.yaml 并靠 `role('secret')` 脱敏**——删除问题本身（引用）胜过缓解问题（脱敏 + 回填 + 同步告警）；编码 agent 同类产品在这一点上口径一致。
+- **注册表级的实时重试策略**——让 `providerRetryPolicy` 每次调用都重读，会静默改变所有注册都依赖的 `ctx.llm` 捕获契约；原地重新注册路由既保住该契约，又保持可观察。
+
+## 后果
+
+上手流程端到端免重启（由 `missing-credential` headless 快照与凭据轮换组合测试固定）：无密钥启动、浏览 catalog、存入密钥、再次发起提示。demo 默认挂载 `settings-local` + `credentials-local`，不再内联任何 `!!js` 密钥接线。`runLoaderSmoke` 新增 `expectedExitCode`，使按设计出现的失败面可以被固定而非被掩盖。延后事项：wire/UI 面在任何 RPC 暴露 `describe()` 之前必须对 `role('secret')` 字段脱敏；settings 层的数组仍整体替换（deepseek 的 `models` 列表）；settings 分节无法移除组合提供的 pi-ai 路由（只能覆盖或扩展）。对该 seam 的评审随后改造了存储的所在位置与谁可以读取它，让一个请求解析出一个配置世代，并使路由替换成为原子操作（[credential boundaries note](2026-07-30-credential-boundaries-and-atomic-registration.md)）。

+# Agent Note: credential boundaries, whole-snapshot requests, and atomic route registration
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-30-credential-boundaries-and-atomic-registration.zh.md)
+
+> Scope: the third review round over the [request-level LLM configuration seam](2026-07-29-request-level-llm-config-credentials.md) — where a stored credential lives and who can read it, how one request's facts stay one generation, and how a route set changes without a window. Companion to the [settings write-path note](2026-07-30-settings-write-path-integrity.md), whose provider fixes this round applies to `credentials-local` and whose writer lock it promotes into `dsh-atomic-write`.
+
+## Problem
+
+Review found the credential path leaking across boundaries it had drawn. The shipped surfaces hoisted `$DSH_HOME/.env` into `process.env` before cordis booted, so on the next run `credentials-local` classified every key it had stored itself as a read-only ambient launch override: `describe()` reported `source: 'env'` with `writable: false`, `set`/`unset` rejected as shadowed, and a key stored from the web page or TUI became unrotatable and undeletable while the adapter kept using the value captured at launch. The store's own write path repeated the settings-local defects that same review round fixed (two independent chains, whole-file render from a stale cache), plus editor bugs of its own: a physical line inside another key's quoted multi-line value read as an assignment, CRLF endings degraded to LF, a multi-line entry reported `writable: true` while `set` always threw, and `credentials/updated` was emitted bare after the commit, so one broken observer made a durable write look failed. On the read side, the file's `0600` mode stops other OS users but not the model, whose bash and filesystem tools run as the same user.
+
+Two request-path defects sat beside them. DeepSeek's per-request resolution kept connection facts in a last-good snapshot but re-read the literal `apiKey` from the raw configuration, so a settings generation the resolver rejected could still put its key on the previous generation's endpoint. pi-ai handed the SDK `undefined` when a configured `apiKeyEnv` resolved to nothing, letting pi-ai's own environment discovery authenticate with an unrelated provider key — another tenant, silently billed. And its route swap disposed the old registration before creating the new one: a route another adapter owned dropped every existing route, after which the facts cache could equal the registry's, so restoring the working configuration never re-applied.
+
+## Decision
+
+**`$DSH_HOME/.env` belongs to the credential provider alone.** No surface loads it into `process.env`. The genuine launch environment and the invoking directory's `.env` (loaded by the bin) stay the read-only ambient layer, so a composition without the provider resolves keys exactly as before, while a stored key stays file-sourced and writable across restarts — proven by a real restart in the loader composition rather than by a unit assertion about `describe()`.
+
+**The stored credential has no boundary against the model, and the READMEs say so.** `0600` under a `0700` directory stops other OS users; the model's bash and filesystem tools run as that same user, and the shipped default confines nothing. What the harness does hold to is narrower and stated as exactly that: no surface hoists the document into `process.env`, and the model is never handed a resolved path to it, so reaching the value takes a deliberate read of a path it was not given. An OS-keychain provider — a store the model's processes cannot read at all — is recorded as the real answer rather than implied by a partial one.
+
+**One request, one generation.** DeepSeek's resolved snapshot carries the credential facts (literal key and reference) beside the endpoint, and `resolveApiKey` receives that snapshot instead of re-reading configuration. A rejected generation now contributes nothing at all. pi-ai defers to provider-native discovery only for a profile naming no credential; a configured reference that misses fails with `MISSING_CREDENTIAL` naming the route and the reference. The boot-time credential probe is deleted: it could run before the credentials service mounted and reported every failure as a missing key, while the first request already gives the accurate error.
+
+**Route replacement is a registry operation, not a caller sequence.** `registerAdapter` returns a handle carrying `replace(providers)`: the candidate set is validated in full first (conflicts, names, provider metadata), then swapped in one synchronous section. A refused replacement leaves the previous routes registered and serving, and the caller's facts cache only advances after the registry actually holds the new set, so reverting to a working configuration re-applies. pi-ai's registration facts are sorted by provider, so a settings document that merely reorders its keys is no longer a route change.
+
+**Contained publication for committed credential writes.** `Credentials.notifyUpdated` fans `credentials/updated` out one listener at a time; sync throws and async rejections are logged without changing the committed operation's outcome, and `INVARIANT`-coded failures rethrow after every listener ran — the same shape the settings seam uses for `settings/updated`. `installSettingsSection`'s cleanup now distinguishes its two triggers: a provider detaching still falls back to the composition entry and re-derives, while the consumer's own unload returns immediately instead of re-registering routes during teardown.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **A sandbox read-denial naming `$DSH_HOME/.env`** — implemented as a `readDenyPaths` policy field (a trailing SBPL `deny file-read* file-write*`, a `/dev/null` bwrap bind) and withdrawn on its own evidence. bwrap must create that bind's mount point inside a tree its profile has already made read-only, so it refuses the entire confinement whenever the parent directory is absent — every host that has not stored a credential yet, including a fresh install; Landlock cannot subtract from its own `/` read grant, so every confined call would report `partial` for a file it never hid. A protection that breaks confinement where it works and misreports it where it does not is worse than a documented absence. Denying the whole harness home was rejected earlier for a separate reason: it also covers `sessions/`, and `DSH_SESSION_JSONL` is a documented model-visible capability.
+- **Removing `DSH_HOME` from the model's bash environment** — considered as defense in depth and rejected as theater with a real cost: the default home is a documented convention the agent can reconstruct, while the variable is how legitimate tooling finds harness state. There is no boundary here for it to complement; hiding the pointer would only make the absence harder to see.
+- **Shipping the OS-keychain provider in this round** — it is the only design where the model's processes genuinely cannot read the secret, and it is a sibling package with three platform backends. Sizing it against the rest of this review round would have delayed every other fix; it is recorded as the deferred answer, not as a maybe.
+- **A `replaceRegistration(previous, next)` service method** — the review's shape, but it makes the caller carry the previous handle and lets it pass a mismatched one. Hanging `replace` on the registration handle makes ownership structural: only the registration that holds routes can replace them.
+
+## Consequences
+
+`update()`-adjacent behavior gained documented failure modes: a credential write can now fail on the lock deadline or on an unparsable on-disk document, and `describe()` reports `writable: false` for multi-line entries it will not rewrite. `LlmAdapter` registrants keep working unchanged (the handle is still callable as the disposer), and `DeepSeekConnectionOptions` gained credential fields, so a programmatic constructor of the adapter must supply `apiKeyEnv`. Deferred: the OS-keychain credential provider, and per-value revision checks for two writers editing one reference (last-write-wins remains the documented resolution).

+# Agent Note: 凭据边界、按整份快照发起的请求与原子路由注册
+
+Status: implemented
+

+
+> 范围：对[请求级 LLM（大语言模型）配置 seam](2026-07-29-request-level-llm-config-credentials.md)的第三轮评审——存下来的凭据落在哪里、谁能读到它，一次请求的事实如何保持为同一代，以及一组路由如何在不留空窗的前提下更换。本 note 与 [settings 写路径 note](2026-07-30-settings-write-path-integrity.md) 配套：本轮把那篇 note 的提供方修复套用到 `credentials-local`，并把其中的写锁提升进 `dsh-atomic-write`。
+
+## 问题
+
+评审发现，凭据路径正在越过它自己划下的边界泄漏。已交付的各个面在 Cordis 启动之前就把 `$DSH_HOME/.env` 提升进了 `process.env`，于是下一次运行时，`credentials-local` 会把它自己存下的每个键都判成来自环境的只读启动覆盖：`describe()` 报告 `source: 'env'` 且 `writable: false`，`set`/`unset` 以被遮蔽为由拒绝，从 web 页面或 TUI 存入的密钥既无法轮换也无法删除，而适配器还在继续使用启动时捕获的那个值。
+
+存储自身的写路径重演了同一轮评审在 settings-local 修掉的那些缺陷（两条相互独立的链、从陈旧缓存渲染整份文件），还叠加了编辑器自己的缺陷：另一个键的带引号多行值内部的一条物理行会被读成赋值，CRLF 行尾会退化成 LF，多行条目报告 `writable: true` 而 `set` 总是抛错，`credentials/updated` 又在提交之后裸发，于是一个出错的观察者就能让一次已经落盘的写入看起来失败。
+
+在读取一侧，文件的 `0600` 权限挡得住其他 OS 用户，却挡不住模型：它的 bash 与文件系统工具就以同一个用户身份运行。
+
+与之并排的还有两个请求路径缺陷。DeepSeek 的按请求解析把连接事实保存在最后可用快照里，却仍从原始配置重新读取字面 `apiKey`，于是被 resolver 拒绝的那一代设置，照样能把自己的密钥送到上一代的端点上。配置了 `apiKeyEnv` 却解析不到值时，pi-ai 会把 `undefined` 交给 SDK，让 pi-ai 自己的环境发现拿一个毫不相干的提供方密钥完成鉴权——那是另一个租户，账单还悄悄记在它头上。而且它的路由替换是先释放旧注册、再创建新注册：只要有一条路由已被别的适配器占有，现有路由就会被全部丢掉，此后事实缓存可能与注册表中的事实相等，于是把配置改回可用状态也不会重新生效。
+
+## 决策
+
+**`$DSH_HOME/.env` 只归凭据提供方所有。**没有任何一个面会把它加载进 `process.env`。真正的启动环境，以及调用目录中由 bin 加载的 `.env`，仍然是那一层只读的环境来源，因此不挂载该提供方的组合，解析密钥的方式与从前完全一致，而存下的密钥跨重启仍然来源于文件、仍然可写——这一点由 Loader 组合中的一次真实重启来证明，而不是靠对 `describe()` 的单元断言。
+
+**存下的凭据对模型没有边界，而 README 就是这么写的。**`0700` 目录下的 `0600` 挡得住其他 OS 用户；模型的 bash 与文件系统工具正是以同一用户身份运行，而已交付的默认值不约束任何东西。harness 真正守住的更窄，也就照这个宽度写下来：没有任何一个面会把该文档提升进 `process.env`，模型也从不会拿到它的解析后路径，因此要拿到这个值，需要刻意去读一条并未交给它的路径。OS 钥匙串（keychain）提供方——一个模型的进程根本读不到的存储——被记录为真正的答案，而不是靠一个残缺的方案去暗示它。
+
+**一次请求，一代设置。**DeepSeek 解析出的快照在端点旁一并携带凭据事实（字面密钥与引用），`resolveApiKey` 接收这份快照，而不再重新读取配置。被拒绝的那一代如今完全不再贡献任何东西。只有当一个 profile 完全没有点名凭据时，pi-ai 才交给提供方原生的发现流程；配置了引用却解析不到，就以 `MISSING_CREDENTIAL` 失败，并点名该路由与该引用。启动时的凭据探测被删除：它可能在凭据服务挂载之前就运行，并把每一种失败都报成密钥缺失，而第一次请求本就会给出准确的错误。
+
+**路由替换是注册表的操作，不是调用方的一串步骤。**`registerAdapter` 返回一个携带 `replace(providers)` 的句柄：候选集合先被完整校验（冲突、名称、提供方元数据），再在一个同步区段内完成替换。被拒绝的替换会让先前的路由保持注册并继续服务，而调用方的事实缓存只有在注册表确实持有新集合之后才会推进，因此改回可用配置时会重新生效。pi-ai 的注册事实按提供方排序，因此仅仅调换键顺序的设置文档不再算作路由变更。
+
+**已提交的凭据写入采用收容式发布。**`Credentials.notifyUpdated` 逐个监听器扇出 `credentials/updated`；同步抛错与异步 rejection 都只记日志，不改变已提交操作的结果，而带 `INVARIANT` 代码的失败会在每个监听器都运行完之后重抛——与 settings seam 处理 `settings/updated` 的形状相同。`installSettingsSection` 的清理现在会区分它的两个触发来源：提供方脱离时仍回退到组合的 entry 配置并重新推导，而消费方自身卸载时立即返回，不再在拆卸过程中重新注册路由。
+
+## 曾考虑的替代方案
+
+- **用沙箱点名拒读 `$DSH_HOME/.env`**——已按 `readDenyPaths` 策略字段实现过（末尾一条 SBPL `deny file-read* file-write*`、一条 `/dev/null` 的 bwrap bind），又被它自己的证据推翻。bwrap 必须在自己 profile 已经置为只读的目录树内部创建该 bind 的挂载点，因此只要父目录不存在，它就会拒绝整次约束——那是每一台还没有存过凭据的主机，包括全新安装；Landlock 无法从它自己对 `/` 的读取授权中减去任何东西，于是每一次受限调用都会为一个它其实从未藏起的文件报 `partial`。一项在生效之处破坏约束、在不生效之处误报的保护，比一条写明的「没有保护」更糟。至于拒掉整个 harness home，早先另有理由被否：它同时覆盖 `sessions/`，而 `DSH_SESSION_JSONL` 是一项成文的、模型可见的能力。
+- **把 `DSH_HOME` 从模型的 bash 环境中移除**——作为纵深防御考虑过，最终按「有真实代价的表演」不予采纳：默认 home 是 agent（智能体）能自行重建的成文约定，而这个变量正是正当工具链定位 harness 状态的途径。这里并不存在一条需要它来补强的边界，藏起指针只会让这份缺席更难被看见。
+- **本轮就交付 OS 钥匙串提供方**——只有这个设计能让模型的进程真正读不到机密，而它是一个带三种平台后端的兄弟包（package）。把它与本轮评审的其余工作放在一起评估体量，会拖慢其他每一项修复；它被记录为那个延后的答案，而不是一个「也许」。
+- **做成 `replaceRegistration(previous, next)` 服务方法**——这是评审给出的形状，但它要求调用方自行携带上一个句柄，也允许它传入一个不匹配的句柄。把 `replace` 挂在注册句柄上，让归属关系变成结构性的：只有持有路由的那一项注册才能替换它们。
+
+## 后果
+
+`update()` 邻近的行为多了成文的失败模式：凭据写入现在可能因锁截止时间到期、或磁盘文档无法解析而失败，`describe()` 对它不会改写的多行条目报告 `writable: false`。`LlmAdapter` 的注册方无需改动即可继续工作（句柄本身仍可当作释放器调用），`DeepSeekConnectionOptions` 则新增了凭据字段，因此以编程方式构造该适配器必须提供 `apiKeyEnv`。延后事项：OS 钥匙串凭据提供方，以及针对两个写方编辑同一引用的逐值修订号检查（后写胜出仍是成文的解决方式）。

+# Agent Note: the end-seed log boundary
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-30-session-end-seed-log-boundary.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+A plugin that owns a standalone open/close bracket in the session log cannot tell a dead marker from a live one. `compact/start` … `compact/end` is the shipped case: on picking up a log whose last compaction event is an unmatched `compact/start`, "the previous writer died mid-compaction" and "a compaction is running right now" are byte-identical stored history. The owner must either refuse to compact a log that is actually free (wedging the session) or proceed over one that is genuinely busy.
+
+Nothing in the log marked where inherited history ended. `session/created`, `session/disposed`, and `session/flush` are cordis runtime signals, not log events; `agent/session-start` is emit-only. `Session.firstLiveSeq` already held the answer exactly — the seq of this lifecycle's first own write — but only in memory, so a consumer reading stored bytes could not see it.
+
+Crash repair does not close the gap and must not: `interruptedTurnClosers` synthesizes turn, step, and tool boundaries because core owns that vocabulary, and `compact/*` belongs to the compaction seam. A core repair pass that closed plugin brackets would put every plugin's bracket semantics in core.
+
+## Decision
+
+`Session`'s constructor appends the log-only `session/end-seed` event immediately after a non-empty constructor seed, as the seeded session's first live write at the seq `firstLiveSeq` names. The event is the durable projection of that field: `firstLiveSeq` answers where this lifecycle's writes start for a consumer holding the object, while `session/end-seed` answers the same question for one holding only stored bytes. Its payload is empty — position and `time` carry the whole meaning — and it is not a `SurfaceEventType`, so it produces no message and cannot perturb derived history.
+
+A bracket owner reads it positionally: an unmatched opening marker before `session/end-seed` has a smaller seq, came from the constructor seed, and belongs to a lifecycle that has ended. Core writes the boundary and reads nothing from it; each bracket's vocabulary stays with its owning plugin, so no core predicate helper ships without a consumer to shape it.
+
+The constructor is the placement because it is the single waist every seeded session passes through. All six entry points reach it: `agents.resume()`, config-driven startup on a persisted id (`restoreOrCreateConfigured`), `sessions.fork()`, a subagent fork child, `coordinator.adopt()`'s live-prefix path, and a bare `sessions.create(id, {seed})`. A boundary written at persistence load would miss both fork paths — and a forked child inheriting a still-running parent's open `compact/start` is precisely the case that must be classifiable. A boundary written at loop start would miss `fork()` and `adopt()`, and would have to fire on `SessionStartSource: 'startup'`, which is what a fork child publishes, so that field would stop discriminating.
+
+Two guards keep the marker from becoming noise. An empty seed writes nothing because there is no seed to end. A seed already ending in one is not re-marked, which makes the write idempotent. Idempotence is load-bearing rather than tidiness — `agentFor()` resumes a cold session on first touch, so merely opening one in a client is a pickup, and without the guard browsing would grow a log by one event per visit.
+
+## Persistence needs no changes
+
+The constructor append happens before `enter()`, so the session has no store attachment: the marker never publishes on `session/event`, exactly like the seed events before it. It is instead part of the log `initFor` captures as the creation seed, and persists through the ordinary seed path — `onCreated`'s `createCore` + `appendCore`, or the ownerless-claim suffix write. A consumer that watches the firehose therefore never sees the boundary and must read it from the log.
+
+Consequences for the seam: `load()` stays a pure read, with no revision bump, no `commitRepair` on a balanced log, and no durable mark left by a rejected `append`. **Attaching is not a pure read**, though — a pickup now writes where nothing was written before, so a read-only or full disk fails at `session/created` rather than at the first real turn. That is the one cost this placement adds, and it is narrower than the load-path version's (which failed the load itself).
+
+A crash before the seed write reaches disk loses the boundary, and that costs nothing: the pending batch is written in order, so a lost boundary means every event after it is lost too. The next pickup reads the same bytes the previous one did, appends its own boundary, and classifies the bracket identically. In-process consumers should prefer `firstLiveSeq`, which is exact before any write.
+
+## Scope of the guarantee
+
+The predicate holds for a bracket *this* session inherited, not as a liveness signal about other writers. A concurrently live session may hold an open bracket over the same stored history while its own boundary sits elsewhere. A consumer that must tolerate concurrent writers needs a liveness signal beyond the log and cannot omit it on the strength of this event.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**A boundary written by the persistence coordinator's cold-load path.** Built first, as the [`session/resumed` boundary](../../rejected/architecture/2026-07-29-session-resumed-log-boundary.md), and abandoned before merge. It covers no fork, which is the one case where the inherited bracket's owner may still be running. Because the marker was minted at load it also had to be a durable write on a read path, which spread cost across the seam: a revision bump on every cold load, a `commitRepair` batch on a balanced log with nothing to repair, a stored-time floor to keep the clamp monotonic, and a load that failed against a read-only store.
+
+**A boundary appended at loop start.** The loop calls `resumeWith`, so it covers the resume paths, but it misses `fork()` and `adopt()` entirely, and the event would have to fire on `'startup'` — the source a fork child publishes — so `SessionStartSource` would stop discriminating. It also publishes the session before the marker is appended, so a `session/created` listener could observe a seeded log with no boundary.
+
+**Reusing `header.seedLength`.** It is the durable *fork-lineage* boundary and deliberately keeps the original fork value across a resume, where the constructor seed is the whole stored log. The two facts differ and conflating them would lose both.
+
+**Crash repair closing `compact/*` alongside turn boundaries.** Rejected: it moves every plugin's bracket semantics into core's repair pass, and core cannot know what closing another package's bracket should record.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Bought: one boundary, written in one place, correct for all six seeded-start paths — including the fork gap the persistence-layer version could not reach. The persistence packages keep a pure read path. `firstLiveSeq` gains a durable twin rather than a second, competing notion of the same boundary.
+
+Cost: a seeded session's log is one event longer, which moved seq expectations in tests across nine packages (session, agent-loop, persistence contract, jsonl, session-query, session-title, subagent-inprocess, telemetry, token-meter). Two of those updates are load-bearing rather than mechanical: telemetry's adoption tests now assert the boundary IS exported, because it is this lifecycle's own write, and the property suite's replay invariant is restated as "seed reproduced verbatim, plus one log-only boundary" with idempotence added as its own property.
+
+`session/end-seed` joins the on-disk vocabulary. Under the pre-release stance (`SESSION_FORMAT_VERSION` pinned at `0`, no compatibility promise) older logs simply lack it, and a log without a boundary correctly classifies nothing as constructor-seed history.
+
+Not built here: no plugin reads the boundary yet. Wiring the compaction seam's staleness check to it is the follow-up that motivated this boundary; the predicate helper belongs with that seam, where a real consumer decides its shape, rather than shipping into core untested against one.

+# Agent Note: 种子结束日志边界
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-30-session-end-seed-log-boundary.md) | 中文
+
+## Problem
+
+拥有独立开／闭括号的插件无法区分一个已死的标记和一个存活的标记。`compact/start` … `compact/end` 就是已发布的实例：当接手一份日志、而它最后的压缩事件是一个未配对的 `compact/start` 时，"上一个写入方在压缩中途死掉了"与"此刻正有一次压缩在运行"在存储历史中是逐字节相同的。所有方只能二选一：拒绝压缩一份其实空闲的日志（把会话卡死），或者在一份确实繁忙的日志上继续压缩。
+
+日志中没有任何东西标出继承历史在哪里结束。`session/created`、`session/disposed` 与 `session/flush` 是 cordis 运行时信号，不是日志事件；`agent/session-start` 只发射不落盘。`Session.firstLiveSeq` 本来就精确地持有这个答案——本生命周期第一次自有写入的 seq——但只存在于内存中，因此读取存储字节的消费方看不到它。
+
+崩溃修复既没有填上这个缺口，也不应该去填：`interruptedTurnClosers` 合成轮次、步骤与工具边界，是因为核心拥有那套词汇表，而 `compact/*` 属于压缩 seam。一个会关闭插件括号的核心修复流程，等于把每个插件的括号语义都搬进核心。
+
+## Decision
+
+`Session` 的构造函数紧接非空构造种子之后追加仅日志事件 `session/end-seed`，作为带种子会话的第一次实时写入，位置正是 `firstLiveSeq` 指出的 seq。该事件是那个字段的持久投影：`firstLiveSeq` 为持有对象的消费方回答本生命周期的写入从哪里开始，`session/end-seed` 则为只持有存储字节的消费方回答同一问题。它的 payload 为空——位置与 `time` 承载全部含义——并且不是 `SurfaceEventType`，因此不产生消息，也无法扰动派生历史。
+
+括号所有方按位置读取它：在 `session/end-seed` 之前的未配对开启标记具有更小的 seq，来自构造种子，并且属于一个已结束的生命周期。核心写入该边界但不从中读取任何内容；每个括号的词汇表仍归其所属插件，因此在没有消费方来塑形之前，核心不会先发布谓词辅助函数。
+
+选择构造函数，是因为它是每一个带种子会话都必经的唯一收窄处。全部六个入口都会到达它：`agents.resume()`、在已持久化 id 上的配置驱动启动（`restoreOrCreateConfigured`）、`sessions.fork()`、子代理 fork 子会话、`coordinator.adopt()` 的实时前缀路径，以及裸的 `sessions.create(id, {seed})`。在持久化加载时写入的边界会漏掉两条 fork 路径——而一个继承了仍在运行的父会话开放 `compact/start` 的 fork 子会话，恰恰是必须可判定的场景。在 loop 启动时写入的边界会漏掉 `fork()` 与 `adopt()`，并且不得不在 `SessionStartSource: 'startup'` 上触发——那正是 fork 子会话发布的取值，于是该字段将不再具有区分力。
+
+两条守卫让这个标记不至于变成噪声。空种子不写入任何内容，因为没有种子需要结束。种子本身已以该事件结尾时不会重复标记，这让写入具备幂等性。幂等性是承重的，而不是为了整洁——`agentFor()` 会在首次触碰时恢复一个冷会话，因此在客户端里仅仅打开一个会话就是一次接手；没有这条守卫，浏览会让日志每访问一次就增长一个事件。
+
+## 持久化无需任何改动
+
+构造函数中的 append 发生在 `enter()` 之前，因此会话尚无 store attachment：该标记不会在 `session/event` 上发布，与它之前的种子事件完全一样。它属于 `initFor` 捕获的那份创建种子，并通过普通的种子路径落盘——`onCreated` 的 `createCore` + `appendCore`，或无主认领的后缀写入。因此监听 firehose 的消费方永远看不到这条边界，必须从日志中读取它。
+
+对 seam 的影响：`load()` 仍是纯读取，没有 revision 递增，对平衡日志不走 `commitRepair`，被拒绝的 `append` 也不留下持久标记。但**接手不是纯读取**——如今一次拾起会在此前完全无写入的路径上产生写入，因此只读存储或磁盘写满会在 `session/created` 处报错，而不是在第一个真实轮次处。这是本放置方式新增的唯一成本，并且比加载路径方案的成本更窄（后者会让加载本身失败）。
+
+若崩溃发生在种子写入到达磁盘之前，边界会丢失，而这没有代价：待处理批次按序写入，所以丢掉一个边界意味着它之后的每个事件也一起丢掉。下一次接手读到的字节与上一次相同，会追加自己的边界，并对括号作出完全相同的判定。进程内消费方应优先使用 `firstLiveSeq`，它在任何写入之前就是精确的。
+
+## 保证的适用范围
+
+该谓词对*本*会话继承的括号成立，而不是关于其他写入方的存活信号。一个并发存活的会话可能在同一段存储历史上持有开放括号，而它自己的边界在别处。必须容忍并发写入方的消费方需要日志之外的存活信号，不能仅凭这个事件就省掉它。
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**由持久化协调器的冷加载路径写入边界。** 最先实现的方案，即 [`session/resumed` 边界](../../rejected/architecture/2026-07-29-session-resumed-log-boundary.md)，在合并前被放弃。它完全覆盖不到 fork，而 fork 恰恰是继承括号的所有方可能仍然存活的那一种情形。由于标记是在加载时铸造的，它还必须在读取路径上做持久写入，这把成本铺开到整个 seam：每次冷加载都递增 revision、对一份无需修复的平衡日志也要走 `commitRepair`、需要一个已存储时间下限来维持钳制的单调性，以及加载在只读存储上会失败。
+
+**在 loop 启动时追加边界。** loop 调用 `resumeWith`，因此覆盖恢复路径，但完全漏掉 `fork()` 与 `adopt()`，而且事件不得不在 `'startup'` 上触发——那是 fork 子会话发布的来源——于是 `SessionStartSource` 将不再具有区分力。它还会在追加标记之前就发布会话，因此 `session/created` 监听方可能观察到一份没有边界的带种子日志。
+
+**复用 `header.seedLength`。** 它是持久的 *fork 血缘*边界，并且刻意在恢复时保留原始 fork 取值——而恢复时构造种子是整份存储日志。这两个事实并不相同，混同会同时失去两者。
+
+**让崩溃修复连同轮次边界一起关闭 `compact/*`。** 否决：这会把每个插件的括号语义搬进核心的修复流程，而核心无法知道关闭另一个包的括号应该记录什么。
+
+## Consequences
+
+买到的：一条边界，在一处写入，对全部六条带种子启动路径都正确——包括持久化层方案触及不到的 fork 缺口。持久化各包保留纯读取路径。`firstLiveSeq` 获得一个持久孪生体，而不是关于同一边界的第二套彼此竞争的概念。
+
+代价：带种子会话的日志长了一个事件，这在九个包（session、agent-loop、持久化契约、jsonl、session-query、session-title、subagent-inprocess、telemetry、token-meter）里挪动了 seq 期望。其中两处更新是承重的而非机械的：telemetry 的收养测试现在断言该边界*会*被导出，因为它是本生命周期的自有写入；而属性测试套件的重放不变式被重述为"种子逐字节复现，外加一个仅日志边界"，并把幂等性补成一条独立属性。
+
+`session/end-seed` 加入了落盘词汇表。在预发布立场下（`SESSION_FORMAT_VERSION` 固定为 `0`，不作兼容承诺），更旧的日志只是没有它，而没有边界的日志会正确地判定没有任何内容属于构造种子历史。
+
+此处未做：还没有任何插件读取该边界。把压缩 seam 的陈旧性检查接到它上面，是催生这条边界的后续工作；谓词辅助函数应当归属那个 seam——在那里由真实消费方决定它的形状——而不是未经真实消费方检验就先落进核心。

+# Agent Note: settings write-path integrity and observer lifecycle
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-30-settings-write-path-integrity.zh.md)
+
+> Scope: the third review round over `packages/settings/` — write-path data integrity in `dsh-settings-local` (operation chain, read-modify-write, cross-process writer lock, diff-shaped YAML edits) and observer lifecycle in `dsh-settings` (watch disposal, async listener containment, the JSON-shape write boundary). This note reverses one deferral recorded in the [user-settings seam note](2026-07-28-user-settings-seam.md): the cross-process lockfile now ships.
+
+## Problem
+
+Review found the provider's write path could destroy state it never observed, and the seam's observer lifecycle leaked past disposal. Concretely: watcher reloads and document writes ran on two independent promise chains while every write rendered the whole next document from the cached text, so an external edit still inside the debounce window was overwritten — and the follow-up reload no-oped because the post-rename content matched the cache, erasing the edit without a trace. The initial `load()` raced the watcher's own setup, leaving a startup window whose changes never fire an event. Two processes sharing a harness home rendered from independent caches, last writer winning whole namespaces. On the seam side, a `watch()` disposer only removed the observer from its set — an invocation already chained onto the watcher tail still ran after disposal, and nothing drained started invocations at service dispose; the `settings/updated` manual fan-out caught only synchronous throws, so an async listener's rejection escaped as an unhandled rejection; and `structuredClone` admitted Dates, Maps, BigInts, and cycles that YAML/JSON storage silently distorts on the reload round-trip (a Date lands as a timestamp string, a BigInt as a plain number). YAML writes replaced the whole namespace node, deleting every comment inside the section a comment-preserving provider had promised to keep.
+
+## Decision
+
+**One operation chain, and every write is a read-modify-write.** Watcher refreshes and persists from every namespace queue share a single settled chain, and `persistSection` begins by reconciling the on-disk text into the seam — publishing any unobserved difference first — before rendering against that fresh text. A write can no longer resurrect a stale document, and an on-disk document that turned invalid fails the write loud rather than being overwritten (the reload path keeps its warn-and-keep-last-good policy; the shared `reconcileFromDisk` throws and each caller picks its policy). The watcher's `ready` signal queues one extra reconcile, closing the startup gap between the initial load and the watcher becoming active.
+
+**Writes hold a `wx`-created `<file>.lock` sibling.** The read-render-rename cycle runs under a cross-process writer lock with exponential backoff, a 2 s acquisition deadline, and stale takeover after 5 s (a crashed holder, broken with a warning). Readers never lock — the rename commit is atomic — so contention is writer-only and resolves in milliseconds. The lock constants are protocol invariants, not config: a holder rewrites one small document, so the deadline and stale age derive from that bound, not from deployment taste.
+
+**Observer disposal is quiescent.** Watchers carry an `active` flag checked when a queued invocation would start, so a disposer that ran while the invocation waited prevents the start entirely; started invocations register in a service-level `pendingTails` set that the dispose drain awaits beside the write queues. The `settings/updated` fan-out contains a returned thenable's rejection through the same listener diagnostic as a sync throw, and the event contract now states that the `INVARIANT` rethrow serves synchronous listeners only — invariant companions must stay sync, which the shipped companion already is.
+
+**The write boundary admits JSON data only.** The call-time snapshot is a single `cloneJsonShaped` walk that detaches the patch and rejects any non-JSON value — Date, Map, BigInt, non-finite number, function, symbol, class instance, `undefined` array entry, circular reference — with its `$`-rooted path before anything persists. Object entries that are explicitly `undefined` still skip (the sparse-patch contract), now enforced at the boundary instead of inside `mergeLayers`.
+
+**YAML edits are leaf-level diffs.** `renderYaml` diffs the stored section against the next one and applies only `setIn` for changed values and `deleteIn` for removed keys, recursing through maps. Comments, anchors, and formatting survive on every untouched node and on the key node of every changed pair; arrays and other non-map values replace wholesale when unequal (`deepEqualJson` is the shared predicate), taking comments inside them along.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **`proper-lockfile` instead of a hand-rolled lock** — the dependency-over-hand-rolling policy was weighed: the library is barely maintained, its stale/retry policy is broader than this one-file protocol needs, and the shipped lock is ~40 lines with deterministic tests (including injected `EEXIST`/`stat` races). The policy favors dependencies that delete owned code; this one would replace 40 explained lines with an opaque peer.
+- **Revision/CAS instead of a lock** — rename cannot express compare-and-swap, so a CAS needs a version sidecar or content re-hash and a retry loop in every writer; the lock achieves the same serialization with one primitive and keeps readers free.
+- **Merging external edits into the in-flight write's own section** — the seam merges patches over the state visible at call time, so a same-namespace external edit racing a write still resolves last-write-wins; folding it in would need three-way merge semantics no consumer has asked for. The write publishes the external state first, so the loser is at least observed before being superseded.
+- **Declaring async `settings/updated` listeners unsupported** — the typed signature is `void` and lint flags misused promises, but an unlinted JS plugin can still register an async listener; a contract note cannot un-throw an unhandled rejection, so containment is the only defense that holds at runtime.
+- **Keeping `structuredClone` and validating in the provider** — the seam is the durable boundary's owner (every provider stores JSON-shaped documents), and rejecting at call time gives the caller the offending path; a provider-side check would reject after merge, blaming the merged section instead of the caller's value.
+
+## Consequences
+
+`update()` gained a documented failure mode (lock deadline, invalid on-disk document) and the rejection messages carry `$`-rooted paths. Remaining, documented in the provider README: same-namespace concurrent edits stay last-write-wins (no per-value merge or revision check), a watcher event the OS never delivers leaves the cache stale until the next signal or write, and comments inside replaced arrays or attached inline to changed scalar values go with the value they described. The [user-settings seam note](2026-07-28-user-settings-seam.md)'s deferred-lockfile alternative is superseded by this note. The same defect classes exist in `dsh-credentials-local` (two chains over one `.env`, cached whole-file write-back, post-persist emit) and in the `llm/adapters-updated` fan-out on the stacked branches; those fixes belong to the PRs that introduce the packages and follow this template on merge-up.

+# Agent Note: settings 写路径完整性与观察者生命周期
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-30-settings-write-path-integrity.md) | 中文
+
+> 范围：对 `packages/settings/` 的第三轮评审——`dsh-settings-local` 的写路径数据完整性（操作链、读-改-写、跨进程写锁、diff 形态的 YAML 编辑）与 `dsh-settings` 的观察者生命周期（watch 的 dispose（资源释放）、异步监听器收容、JSON 形态写入边界）。本 note 推翻了[用户设置 seam note](2026-07-28-user-settings-seam.md)所记录的一项延后决定：跨进程锁文件现已交付。
+
+## 问题
+
+评审发现，提供方的写路径可能销毁它从未观察到的状态，而 seam 的观察者生命周期会泄漏到 dispose 之后。具体而言：watcher 重载与文档写入跑在两条相互独立的 promise 链上，而每次写入都从缓存文本渲染出完整的下一份文档，于是仍处于防抖窗口内的外部编辑会被覆盖——随后的重载又因 rename 后的内容与缓存一致而成为空操作，这次编辑就被无痕抹去。初始 `load()` 与 watcher 自身的建立过程存在竞态，留下一个启动窗口：落在这个窗口内的变更永远不会触发事件。共享同一 harness home 的两个进程各自从独立的缓存渲染，后写者以整个 namespace 为单位胜出。
+
+在 seam 一侧，`watch()` 的释放器只把观察者从集合中移除——已经接到 watcher 链尾的调用在 dispose 之后照常运行，服务 dispose 时也没有任何环节排空已启动的调用；`settings/updated` 的手动扇出只捕获同步抛错，异步监听器的 rejection 会以 unhandled rejection 的形式逃逸；`structuredClone` 则放行 Date、Map、BigInt 与循环引用，而 YAML/JSON 存储会在重载往返中悄悄扭曲这些值（Date 会变成时间戳字符串，BigInt 会变成普通数字）。
+
+YAML 写入则整体替换 namespace 节点，把分节内的每条注释都删掉——而这个保注释的提供方承诺过要保住它们。
+
+## 决策
+
+**单一操作链，且每次写入都是读-改-写。**watcher 的刷新与来自各 namespace 队列的持久化共享同一条结算链；`persistSection` 会先把磁盘上的文本对账进 seam——任何未被观察到的差异都先发布出去——然后才对照这份新鲜文本渲染。写入不再可能复活一份陈旧文档；磁盘上已变非法的文档会让写入响亮失败，而不是被覆盖（重载路径保持其“告警并保留最后可用值”策略；共享的 `reconcileFromDisk` 抛错，各调用方自选策略）。watcher 的 `ready` 信号会额外排入一次对账，弥合初始加载与 watcher 生效之间的启动缺口。
+
+**写入持有以 `wx` 创建的同目录 `<file>.lock`。**读-渲染-rename 循环在一把跨进程写锁下运行：指数退避、2 s 获取截止时间、5 s 后陈旧接管（持有者已崩溃；打破旧锁时给出告警）。读方从不加锁——rename 提交是原子的——因此竞争只发生在写方之间，毫秒级即可化解。锁的各项常量是协议不变式，不是配置：持有者只是重写一份小文档，截止时间与陈旧时限都从这一上界推得，而非出自部署偏好。
+
+**观察者 dispose 达到完全停稳。**watcher 携带一个 `active` 标志，排队的调用即将启动时先检查它，因此在调用等待期间已经运行过的释放器能让这次启动彻底不发生；已启动的调用会登记进服务级的 `pendingTails` 集合，dispose 排空除了等待各写队列，还会等待该集合。`settings/updated` 扇出会把监听器返回的 thenable 的 rejection 收容进与同步抛错相同的监听器诊断；事件契约现已写明 `INVARIANT` 重抛只服务同步监听器——不变式配套插件必须保持同步，而已交付的那个配套插件本就是同步的。
+
+**写入边界只放行 JSON 数据。**调用时刻的快照就是一次 `cloneJsonShaped` 遍历：它把 patch 从调用方分离出来，并在任何内容持久化之前拒绝一切非 JSON 值——Date、Map、BigInt、非有限数值、函数、symbol、类实例、值为 `undefined` 的数组元素、循环引用——拒绝时附带该值以 `$` 为根的路径。显式为 `undefined` 的对象条目仍会跳过（稀疏 patch 契约），这一契约如今在边界处强制执行，而不再放在 `mergeLayers` 内部。
+
+**YAML 编辑是叶子级 diff。**`renderYaml` 对比已存储分节与下一份分节，只对变化的值应用 `setIn`、对移除的键应用 `deleteIn`，并沿 map 递归。注释、锚点与格式在每个未触碰节点上、以及每个被改键值对的键节点上全部保留；数组等非 map 值在不相等时整体替换（`deepEqualJson` 是共享的判定谓词），其内部注释随之一并被带走。
+
+## 曾考虑的替代方案
+
+- **用 `proper-lockfile` 取代手写锁**——按“依赖优先于手写”政策做过权衡：该库几乎无人维护，其陈旧／重试策略比这个单文件协议所需的更宽泛，而已交付的锁约 40 行并带确定性测试（含注入的 `EEXIST`/`stat` 竞态）。该政策偏向能删除自有代码的依赖；这个依赖只会把 40 行带解释的代码换成一个不透明的等价物。
+- **用修订号/CAS 取代锁**——rename 表达不了 compare-and-swap，因此 CAS 需要一个版本伴随文件或内容重哈希，外加每个写方里的一个重试循环；锁用一个原语实现同样的串行化，还让读方完全免锁。
+- **把外部编辑合并进正在进行的写入自身的分节**——seam 是在调用时刻可见的状态之上合并 patch 的，因此与写入竞态的同 namespace 外部编辑仍按后写胜出解决；要把外部编辑并进来，需要三方合并语义，而没有任何消费方提出过这种需求。写入会先发布外部状态，落败一方至少在被取代之前被观察到。
+- **宣布不支持异步 `settings/updated` 监听器**——类型签名是 `void`，lint 也会标记误用的 promise，但未经 lint 的 JS 插件仍能注册异步监听器；契约里的一句说明无法收回已经抛出的 unhandled rejection，收容是唯一在运行时守得住的防线。
+- **保留 `structuredClone`、在提供方里做校验**——seam 才是持久化边界的所有者（每个提供方存储的都是 JSON 形态文档），而且在调用时刻拒绝能把违规值的路径给到调用方；提供方侧的检查要到合并之后才拒绝，归咎的是合并后的分节，而不是调用方传入的值。
+
+## 后果
+
+`update()` 有了成文的失败模式（锁截止时间到期、磁盘文档非法），rejection 消息携带以 `$` 为根的路径。仍然存在、且已记录在提供方 README 中的有：同 namespace 并发编辑仍是后写胜出（没有逐值合并，也没有修订号检查）；OS 从未投递的 watcher 事件会让缓存保持陈旧，直到下一个信号或下一次写入；被替换数组内部的注释、以及行内附着在被改标量值上的注释，会随其描述的值一起消失。
+
+[用户设置 seam note](2026-07-28-user-settings-seam.md)里“延后锁文件”那条替代方案已被本 note 取代。同类缺陷还存在于 `dsh-credentials-local`（两条链共用一个 `.env`、按缓存整文件写回、持久化之后才发事件）与堆叠分支上的 `llm/adapters-updated` 扇出；这些修复归引入相应包（package）的那些 PR（Pull Request）所有，向上合并时按本模板处理。

+# Agent Note: Sample over-cap glob results across the tree
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-27-glob-sampling.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+Asked what a workspace contained, an agent described one subfolder as if it were the whole project. The workspace held 22 top-level entries and 11,485 files. `glob {"pattern":"*"}` matched 10,030 paths, but all 100 inline paths sat under one recently unpacked subtree, so the model never saw the other 21 entries.
+
+Three individually valid behaviors composed into the false impression. A glob without `/` matches basenames at any depth, so `*` means every file in the tree rather than the shell's current-directory expansion. Ripgrep's `--sort=modified` is ascending, so an archive's restored old timestamps put that subtree first. The inline page then took the head of that order without saying that it represented only one concentrated slice.
+
+## Decision
+
+A result that fits within `globMaxResults` remains complete and byte-for-byte modification-time ordered. The required `sampleOverCapGlobResults` config has no fallback: `false` retains the modification-time head for an over-cap result, while `true` samples round-robin across the complete result's top-level entries. In sampling mode, every entry receives one slot before any receives a second, exhausted groups drop out, relative order remains stable within each group, and grouping is relative to the actual search root, including an explicit `path`.
+
+In sampling mode, the footer states that the page is a cross-entry sample rather than the modification-time head and reports how many top-level entries it reaches when that fact adds information. When more top-level entries exist than inline slots, it tells the model to narrow `path`. Head mode keeps the ordinary capped-result footer. When spill succeeds, both modes preserve the complete sorted list in the artifact.
+
+The prompt and schema state the configured over-cap ordering, that a pattern without `/` matches at any depth, and that glob returns files, never directory entries. The shipped CLI composition explicitly selects head mode; deployments that want representative capped pages select sampling mode. Directory orientation remains ordinary shell work in deployments that expose the model-facing bash tool: use `ls` for one directory, and glob for a named file-path pattern across the tree. `ctx.fs.listDir` remains an internal provider primitive used by skill discovery; this decision adds no model-facing `list` tool.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Keep the modification-time head as the only behavior.** Rejected after measuring the failure shape. Some deployments need the stable ordering, but a deployment that values workspace orientation can explicitly select representative data instead of asking the model to distrust the only paths it received.
+
+**Give the sampling choice a default.** Rejected. No product-wide evidence establishes either ordering as the implicit contract, so every composition selects one and misconfiguration fails at load.
+
+**Sample every result.** Rejected. A complete result loses nothing to truncation, so modification-time order remains useful for age-oriented questions. Sampling begins only when the head stops describing the whole.
+
+**Switch to newest-first order.** Rejected. It merely changes which concentrated subtree can dominate and removes the existing oldest-first contract without making a capped page representative.
+
+**Sample only past a skew threshold.** Rejected. No current evidence supports a deployment-wide threshold, and the model could not know which ordering contract applied. The existing cap is the explainable transition.
+
+**Balance recursively below the top level.** Deferred. First-segment balance fixes the observed failure; deeper balancing needs an unsupported depth-versus-breadth policy.
+
+**Add a model-facing `list` tool.** Rejected after implementation review. The default coding composition already exposes general bash and the model understands `ls`; a duplicate tool would add permanent schema/prompt tokens plus ordering, pagination, symlink, escaping, UI, and snapshot contracts without a distinct security or policy benefit. Thin deployments without a model-facing bash tool do not gain directory orientation from this change.
+
+**Reject `*` or silently anchor separator-free patterns.** Rejected. The same basename-at-any-depth behavior makes `*.ts` useful across a tree. Documenting the rule preserves working ripgrep semantics.
+
+## Consequences
+
+A sampling-mode over-cap page no longer answers age-order questions from its inline paths; its footer says so, and the spill artifact retains the complete sorted view. Sampling balances only the first segment beneath the search root, so a deeper hot subtree can still dominate within one top-level entry. Head mode retains the concentration risk as an explicit deployment trade-off.
+
+The tool surface does not grow. Every composition must set `sampleOverCapGlobResults`; changing it alters glob's prompt, schema description, and over-cap Native rendering. The canonical output keeps `root` so sampling mode can recover its grouping basis, while fitting results remain unchanged.
+
+## Testing
+
+Package tests pin the required config, both over-cap modes, their prompt and schema descriptions, concentrated and flat results, explicit roots, more groups than the JavaScript argument limit, exhausted groups, fewer slots than groups, and paths outside the workdir. The `fs-glob-sampling` ACP scenario explicitly enables sampling, boots a minimal real Loader/app/local-bash composition, and executes the real search plugin against a deterministic `rg` process fixture; its result spans four top-level entries instead of returning one subtree's head.

+# Agent Note: 跨目录树采样超出上限的 glob 结果
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-27-glob-sampling.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+用户询问工作区包含什么内容时，一个 agent（智能体）把某个子文件夹描述成了整个项目。该工作区有 22 个顶层条目和 11,485 个文件。`glob {"pattern":"*"}` 匹配到 10,030 条路径，但内联显示的 100 条路径全部位于一棵近期解压的子树中，因此模型完全没有看到其余 21 个条目。
+
+三个单独看都合理的行为叠加后造成了错误印象。不含 `/` 的 glob 会匹配任意深度的文件名，因此 `*` 表示目录树中的每个文件，而不是 shell 对当前目录执行的展开。Ripgrep 的 `--sort=modified` 按升序排列，因此归档包还原出的旧时间戳会让该子树排在最前。随后，内联页面直接截取这一顺序的前部，却没有说明它只代表集中于一处的切片。
+
+## 决策
+
+未超过 `globMaxResults` 的结果仍保持完整，且按修改时间排序的内容逐字节不变。必填的 `sampleOverCapGlobResults` 配置没有回退值：`false` 会为超过上限的结果保留按修改时间排序的前部，`true` 则会在完整结果的顶层条目之间按轮转方式采样。采样模式下，每个条目都先获得一个位置，之后才有条目获得第二个位置；已经用尽的分组会退出轮转；各组内部的相对顺序保持稳定；分组以实际搜索根为基准，显式指定 `path` 时也如此。
+
+采样模式下，footer 会说明当前页面是跨条目的样本，而不是按修改时间排序的前部；当触达的顶层条目数能提供额外信息时，还会报告该数量。若顶层条目数量超过内联位置数，footer 会要求模型缩小 `path`。保留前部的模式沿用达到上限时的普通 footer。spill 成功时，两种模式都会在该产物中保留完整排序列表。
+
+提示词与 schema 会说明配置所指定的超限结果排序方式、不含 `/` 的模式会匹配任意深度，以及 glob 只返回文件而绝不返回目录条目。随产品交付的 CLI（命令行界面）组合显式选择保留前部的模式；希望达到上限的页面具有代表性的部署则选择采样模式。在向模型暴露 bash 工具的部署中，目录定位仍由普通 shell 操作完成：查看一个目录使用 `ls`，跨目录树按指定文件路径模式查找则使用 glob。skill（技能）发现流程仍将 `ctx.fs.listDir` 作为内部提供方原语使用；本决策不会新增面向模型的 `list` 工具。
+
+## 考虑过的替代方案
+
+**只保留按修改时间排序的前部。** 测量实际故障形态后否决。某些部署需要这种稳定排序；但重视工作区定位的部署可以显式选择具有代表性的数据，而不必要求模型怀疑自己拿到的唯一一批路径。
+
+**为采样选项提供默认值。** 否决。没有全产品范围的证据支持把任一排序作为隐式契约，因此每个组合都必须选择一种，配置错误则在加载时失败。
+
+**对所有结果采样。** 否决。完整结果没有因截断损失任何信息，因此按修改时间排序仍有助于回答关注新旧时间的问题。只有当截取前部已经无法描述整体时，才开始采样。
+
+**改为最新优先排序。** 否决。这只会改变哪一棵结果集中的子树可能占据主导；既取消了现有的最旧优先契约，也没有让受限页面更具代表性。
+
+**仅在偏斜超过阈值时采样。** 否决。目前没有证据支持适用于所有部署的统一阈值，模型也无法判断当前采用的是哪一种排序契约。现有上限是可以清楚解释的切换点。
+
+**在顶层以下递归平衡。** 暂缓。按第一路径段做平衡已经修复观测到的故障；更深层的平衡需要一套尚无依据的深度与广度取舍策略。
+
+**新增面向模型的 `list` 工具。** 实现评审后否决。默认编程组合已经提供通用 bash，模型也理解 `ls`；重复工具会永久增加 schema 与提示词所占的 token，并引入排序、分页、符号链接、转义、UI 与快照契约，却没有独立的安全或策略收益。不向模型提供 bash 工具的精简部署也不会因本次改动获得目录定位能力。
+
+**拒绝 `*`，或在不含分隔符的模式前静默加上根目录锚点。** 否决。同样的「在任意深度匹配文件名」行为使 `*.ts` 可以有效地跨目录树搜索。记录这条规则能够保留正常工作的 Ripgrep 语义。
+
+## 影响
+
+采样模式下，超过上限的 glob 页面无法再根据内联路径回答按时间判断新旧的问题；footer 会明确说明这一点，spill 产物仍保留完整的排序视图。采样只平衡搜索根下的第一路径段，因此某个顶层条目内部较深处、结果密集的子树仍可能占据主导。保留前部的模式则把集中风险作为显式部署取舍保留下来。
+
+工具接口不会扩大。每个组合都必须设置 `sampleOverCapGlobResults`；更改该值会改变 glob 的提示词、schema 描述以及超过上限时的 Native 渲染。规范输出保留 `root`，以便采样模式恢复其分组基准；未超过上限的结果保持不变。
+
+## 测试
+
+包测试锁定了必填配置、两种超过上限模式及其提示词和 schema 描述、结果集中与扁平两种情况、显式根目录、分组数超过 JavaScript 参数个数上限、分组耗尽、位置数少于分组数，以及工作目录以外的路径。`fs-glob-sampling` ACP（Agent Client Protocol）场景会显式启用采样，启动最小化的真实 Loader/app/local-bash 组合，并让真实搜索插件对接确定性的 `rg` 进程 fixture（测试前置数据）；其结果覆盖 4 个顶层条目，而不是只返回某棵子树的前部。

 The two renderings are mutually exclusive, and the exclusion is enforced rather than assumed. A non-`auto` `scrollbar-width` or `scrollbar-color` makes Chromium and Safari discard every `::-webkit-scrollbar*` rule for that element, `::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:hover` included. Declaring both unconditionally therefore leaves the hover token rendering nowhere at all: the engines that implement the hover pseudo-element are exactly the ones the standard properties silence, and Firefox has no hover pseudo-element to fall back on. The standard properties consequently sit inside `@supports not selector(::-webkit-scrollbar)`, which is true only where the pseudo-element is unimplemented, so Firefox takes the standard path and WebKit-based engines take the pseudo-element path. The WebKit rules are not gated in turn: an engine without those pseudo-elements drops them as unknown selectors, so a gate would only restate what selector matching already does. An engine too old for the `selector()` function makes the condition invalid, which evaluates false and selects the pseudo-element path — the correct side for the pre-16.4 Safari that is the realistic case for that reading.
 
-Both paths read one indirection pair, `--dsh-scrollbar-thumb` and `--dsh-scrollbar-thumb-hover`, bound on `body` to the l1 (base-surface) tokens. **This is the rebinding contract, and it is the part the CSS alone does not state**: an elevated surface sets `--dsh-scrollbar-thumb: var(--dsw-alias-scrollbar-bg-l2)` and `--dsh-scrollbar-thumb-hover: var(--dsw-alias-scrollbar-hover-l2)` on its own container, and that one rebind reaches the standard properties and the WebKit pseudo-elements together. The pair is rebound as a pair; rebinding the resting thumb alone leaves the hover state on the base-surface token. Eight surfaces rebind today: the command popup, the slash menu, the model-select panel, the settings panel, the shared `ui-primitives` menu card, the composer input card, the question composer card, and the todo panel. Most declare it on the elevated card rather than on the scrolling descendant, because the elevation is a property of the surface and custom properties inherit down to whichever child actually scrolls.

Most declare the pair on the elevated card rather than on the scrolling descendant, because elevation belongs to the surface and custom properties inherit to whichever child actually scrolls.
 
-The last four were missed in the first implementation and found in review, which is why the rebinding contract is now checked mechanically rather than by inspection: a sheet that scrolls somewhere and paints an elevated surface somewhere must rebind.
+Four surfaces — `Menu`, `InputBar`, `QuestionComposer`, and `TodoPanel` — were missed in the first implementation and found in review, which is why the per-sheet rebinding contract is checked mechanically rather than by inspection.
 
 The elevated set is resolved from the palette's own dark elevation ladder — the surface tokens whose dark value lands on `bg-layer-2` or `bg-layer-3`, which is the step the l1/l2 split encodes. Deriving it instead from the sheets that already rebind was the first attempt and is unsound: such a set can only confirm what someone already remembered, and a surface nobody has rebound yet — exactly the case the check exists for — defines itself as unelevated. `--dsw-specific-tip` proved it, resolving to the menu surface's rung while the todo panel scrolled on it unrebound and the derived check stayed green.
 
-Scope is by token family, not by geometry: only `--dsw-alias-bg-*` and `--dsw-specific-*` name a surface. `--dsw-alias-button-*`, `--dsw-alias-interactive-*`, and `--dsw-alias-markdown-*` reach the same rungs while naming a control or an inline span that no scroll container renders its bar against. Shape cannot make that call, since a floating button legitimately carries a radius, a shadow, and a fixed size. The check is per sheet rather than per rule because the card and the descendant that scrolls are separate rules, and CSS text does not express which contains which.

 The track and the corner stay transparent, so the thumb reads against whatever surface scrolls under it; only the thumb and its hover state carry a token color.

+# Agent Note: The human transcript projects append-origin events
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-29-human-transcript-append-origin.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+The terminal and the host history gateway both treated the model-visible surface as the human transcript. A successful compaction replaces a surface range with one checkpoint node, so the moment that replacement landed the terminal dropped every message it shadowed — conversation the user had already read — and re-ran that destructive rebuild on any later replacement. The same confusion reached pagination: `maxMessages` counted every `user/message`, `assistant/message`, and `steering/message` in the window, so a model-only replacement copy consumed a page slot the human never filled, and the cut could land between a compaction's log-only provenance and the replacement that cites it.
+
+Nothing was lost from the log. `Session.events` still held every original message and full tool result; the surface only decides what the model is sent next. The defect was entirely in the projection.
+
+## Decision
+
+Model and human projections are separate, and the event's own marker decides which one an event belongs to. `dsh-session` exports the marker split `isAppendSurfaceEvent(event)` and `isReplacementSurfaceEvent(event)` over the two `SurfaceOp` variants, from the browser-safe `surface` module. Append-origin events are the durable source for a transcript; replacement copies stay model-only. Everything that must send exactly what the model sees — `deriveMessages`, token accounting, the compaction backends, tool pairing, injected-context liveness, cross-session reference projection — keeps reading `session.surface`.
+
+The terminal replays the transcript from append-origin surface events and keeps a shadowed step's tool cards paired through `transcriptToolCallIds`, which reads the append-origin `assistant/message` rather than surface membership. A landed compaction contributes one dim `… earlier context was compacted …` row at its own log position: the marker reports where the model stopped seeing that history instead of erasing it. The framed checkpoint payload never renders, and both paths classify a surface event by the same marker, so a compaction that arrives live and the same log replayed after resume produce the same transcript. Only replay re-derives `tool/call` pairing: a call event carries no marker of its own and inherits membership from the `assistant/message` that advertised it, which the live listener has necessarily just rendered.
+
+A checkpoint is recognized through the compaction seam's own contract — `isCompactCheckpointSource`, the backend-independent marker `CompactService` requires on the replacement user message — so the terminal depends on the declared vocabulary, not on the shape of the replacement. `dsh-session-reference` already consumes that predicate to project another session's log; this is the same question asked by a different reader. Other replacements are silent: a pruned `tool/result` and a regenerated `assistant/message` rewrite one node for the model and mark no boundary in the conversation.
+
+`session.history` counts only append-origin messages toward `maxMessages`. Each page remains one contiguous raw event range, so a compaction's `compact/summary` provenance stays on the page of the replacement that cites it.
+
+No persisted event, RPC envelope, compaction transaction, or model-visible surface changed, and no migration is required.
+
+## Deferred
+
+The browser client still builds its conversation from the model surface through `FoldAdapter`, so compaction still collapses web history to a single context row. The same predicate is the fix there, together with an append-order transcript projection and a marker component; that work is a separate change against `packages/client/runtime` and `packages/client/ui-conversation`.
+
+That work must handle a page whose checkpoint cites a `surfaceOp.start` outside the window: pagination no longer spends quota on the checkpoint, so it never cuts on the checkpoint's provenance group, and `FoldAdapter` pads absent events with a non-surface sentinel — so `SurfaceManager` rejects the range and `nodes()` falls back to `degradedSeqs()` with a logged error. The hole predates this change (counting could already run past a checkpoint into the range it shadows), but the old rule accidentally covered the case where the checkpoint was the oldest counted message and pulled the whole shadowed range onto its page. `degradedSeqs()` — every surface-eligible event in append order — is already close to the transcript projection A2 needs, which is the shape to build deliberately rather than reach as a degradation. Rendering compaction *progress* — a terminal indicator while a compaction runs — needs the bracket-first ordering that the queued manual `/compact` work introduces, and is likewise out of scope here. The marker also carries no scale: the checkpoint's `sourceEventSeqs` already hold the shadowed count, so a count or range would tell a reader how much each row folded. That belongs with progress, where the reader meets the other half of the same information. Whoever takes it should fold the terminal's two replacement branches — replay and the live listener, textually identical and 600 lines apart — into one `renderReplacement(event)` first, so the marker's content has a single home.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Recognize a checkpoint by shape (a replacement `user/message`).** Rejected: it reads a coincidence of today's producers instead of a declared contract, and any future producer that replaces a range with a user message would silently inherit the compaction marker. The seam already publishes `COMPACT_CHECKPOINT_SOURCE` precisely so consumers can recognize a checkpoint independently of the backend.
+
+**Keep rendering the checkpoint as an injected-context card.** Rejected: the framed checkpoint is an instruction envelope written for the model, not human conversation content. Showing it while hiding the history it replaced inverts what the reader needs.
+
+**Persist a second display transcript.** Rejected: the append-only log already contains the authoritative source material, so a parallel record buys nothing and adds migration and consistency work.
+
+**Derive the marker from the `compact/*` bracket instead of the checkpoint.** Rejected for the transcript: the bracket is a pair of time-point markers around an operation, while the transcript needs the position where the surface actually changed. The bracket is the right source for progress and duration, which this change does not render.
+
+**Classify events by re-folding the log, as `session-query` does for search (`current` / `shadowed` / `log-only`).** Rejected: a fold answers a whole-log question, while a projection asks a per-event one that the event's own marker already answers in constant time.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Compaction no longer erases terminal history; a session compacted several times shows one marker per landed compaction, in log order. Pagination pages can carry more raw events than before, because quota is spent only on messages a human or model actually produced.
+
+`rebuildTranscript` now materializes a component per append-origin event in the whole log, and it runs on mount, on a terminal color-scheme change, and on every reasoning toggle. Compaction used to bound that work for exactly the long sessions compaction serves, so the cost now grows with session length instead of with the surface. That is the trade the fix exists to make — preserved history is the point — but a windowing or reuse strategy belongs to whoever first measures a slow rebuild, not to a later profiler wondering why the work grew.
+
+`dsh-tui` gains a dependency on the `dsh-compact` seam for one pure predicate, mirroring `dsh-session-reference`'s existing use. The terminal still needs no compaction backend at runtime.
+
+Two behaviors changed with their tests. The surface-replacement terminal test previously pinned erasure ("hides shadowed tool calls") and now pins preservation plus exactly one marker, including a pruned result copy, a regenerated assistant message, and a foreign plugin's replacement all rendering nothing. The compaction snapshot scenario wrote a `workspace-context` source while claiming to pin compaction; it now writes a real checkpoint source, and its three fixtures are re-recorded to show the preserved prompt, the full tool card, and the marker.
+
+The live/replay equivalence above is fixture-pinned, not only asserted here: `surface-replayed-compaction` mounts with the replacement already stored and records byte-identical to the live path's `surface-after-compaction-wide`. Changing either path breaks that equality, which is the point — the resume projection is what regressed for users, and the two fixtures must move together.

+# Agent Note: 人类可读记录投影追加来源的事件
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-29-human-transcript-append-origin.md) | 中文
+
+## Problem
+
+终端与宿主历史网关都把模型可见的 surface 当作人类可读记录（transcript）。一次成功的压缩（compaction）会用一个检查点节点替换一段 surface 范围，因此该替换一落地，终端就丢弃了它所遮蔽的每条消息——那些是用户已经读过的对话——并在此后任何替换到来时重新执行这次破坏性重建。同样的混淆也波及分页：`maxMessages` 统计窗口内的每个 `user/message`、`assistant/message` 和 `steering/message`，于是仅供模型使用的替换副本占用了一个人类从未填充的页面额度，而切分点还可能落在压缩的仅日志溯源信息与引用它的替换之间。
+
+日志本身没有丢失任何内容。`Session.events` 仍保存着每条原始消息和完整的工具结果；surface 只决定接下来发送给模型的内容。缺陷完全在投影层。
+
+## Decision
+
+模型投影与人类投影是分开的，而事件属于哪一种由事件自身的标记决定。`dsh-session` 在浏览器安全的 `surface` 模块中导出按两种 `SurfaceOp` 变体划分的谓词 `isAppendSurfaceEvent(event)` 与 `isReplacementSurfaceEvent(event)`。追加来源的事件是记录的持久来源，替换副本仅供模型使用。凡是必须准确发送模型所见内容的部分——`deriveMessages`、token 记账、压缩后端、工具配对、注入上下文的存活判断、跨会话引用投影——都继续读取 `session.surface`。
+
+终端从追加来源的 surface 事件回放记录，并通过 `transcriptToolCallIds` 让被遮蔽步骤的工具卡片保持配对：该函数读取追加来源的 `assistant/message`，而不是 surface 成员关系。已落地的压缩会在其自身日志位置贡献一行暗色 `… earlier context was compacted …`：这行标记报告模型从何处起不再看到那段历史，而不是把它抹掉。带框的检查点载荷从不渲染，且两条路径都按同一个标记对 surface 事件分类，因此实时到达的压缩与恢复后回放同一份日志会产生相同的记录。只有回放会重新推导 `tool/call` 的配对关系：调用事件自身不携带标记，其归属继承自公布它的 `assistant/message`，而实时监听器必然刚刚渲染过后者。
+
+检查点通过压缩接缝自身的契约来识别——`isCompactCheckpointSource`，即 `CompactService` 要求替换用户消息携带的、与后端无关的标记——因此终端依赖的是已声明的词汇，而不是替换的形态。`dsh-session-reference` 已经在用该谓词投影另一个会话的日志；这里只是另一个读者提出同样的问题。其他替换保持静默：被裁剪的 `tool/result` 与重新生成的 `assistant/message` 只是为模型重写一个节点，并不在对话中标出边界。
+
+`session.history` 只把追加来源的消息计入 `maxMessages`。每一页仍是一段连续的原始事件区间，因此压缩的 `compact/summary` 溯源信息会与引用它的替换留在同一页。
+
+持久事件、RPC 信封、压缩事务与模型可见的 surface 都没有变化，也不需要迁移。
+
+## Deferred
+
+浏览器客户端仍通过 `FoldAdapter` 从模型 surface 构建会话，因此压缩在 Web 端仍会把历史折叠成一行上下文。那里的修复用的是同一个谓词，另需按追加顺序的记录投影与一个标记组件；该工作是针对 `packages/client/runtime` 与 `packages/client/ui-conversation` 的独立变更。
+
+该工作必须处理这样一页：其检查点引用的 `surfaceOp.start` 落在窗口之外。分页不再为检查点消耗额度，因此永远不会按检查点的溯源分组切分；而 `FoldAdapter` 会用一个非 surface 的哨兵事件填补缺失事件——于是 `SurfaceManager` 拒绝该范围，`nodes()` 退化为 `degradedSeqs()` 并记录一条错误。这个缺口早于本次变更（此前计数就可能越过检查点进入它所遮蔽的范围），但旧规则恰好覆盖了这样一种情形：检查点是最旧的被计数消息，其溯源分组把整段被遮蔽的范围一起拉到该页。`degradedSeqs()`——按追加顺序的每个 surface 可入事件——已经很接近 A2 所需的记录投影，因此那正是应当刻意构建的形态，而不是作为退化路径被动落到的结果。渲染压缩*进度*——压缩运行期间的终端指示——需要排队式手动 `/compact` 工作引入的“先开括号”顺序，同样不在本次范围内。标记同样不携带规模信息：检查点的 `sourceEventSeqs` 已经包含被遮蔽的数量，因此一个计数或区间可以告诉读者每一行折叠了多少内容。这件事属于进度那一侧，读者正是在那里遇到同一份信息的另一半。接手者应当先把终端里两处替换分支——回放与实时监听器，文本完全相同却相隔 600 行——合并为一个 `renderReplacement(event)`，让标记的内容只有一个归处。
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**按形态识别检查点（一个替换型 `user/message`）。** 被否决：那读取的是当前生产者的巧合而非已声明的契约，而未来任何用用户消息替换一段范围的生产者都会静默地继承压缩标记。接缝已经发布 `COMPACT_CHECKPOINT_SOURCE`，正是为了让消费方与后端无关地识别检查点。
+
+**继续把检查点渲染为注入上下文卡片。** 被否决：带框的检查点是为模型撰写的指令信封，不是人类对话内容。展示它却隐藏它替换掉的历史，正好颠倒了读者的需要。
+
+**持久化第二份展示用记录。** 被否决：仅追加的日志已经包含权威源材料，平行记录换不来任何东西，反而增加迁移与一致性工作。
+
+**用 `compact/*` 括号而不是检查点来推导标记。** 就记录而言被否决：括号是围绕一次操作的一对时间点标记，而记录需要的是 surface 真正发生变化的位置。括号适合作为进度与耗时的来源，而本次变更并不渲染这些。
+
+**像 `session-query` 为搜索所做的那样重新折叠日志来分类事件（`current`／`shadowed`／`log-only`）。** 被否决：折叠回答的是整份日志的问题，而投影问的是逐事件的问题，事件自身的标记已能以常数时间给出答案。
+
+## Consequences
+
+压缩不再抹掉终端历史；被压缩多次的会话会按日志顺序显示每次落地压缩对应的一行标记。分页的每一页可以携带比以前更多的原始事件，因为额度只花在人类或模型真正产生的消息上。
+
+`rebuildTranscript` 现在会为整份日志中的每个追加来源事件物化一个组件，并在挂载时、终端配色方案变化时以及每次切换 reasoning 时运行。压缩此前正好为压缩所服务的那些长会话限制了这项工作量，因此这份开销现在随会话长度增长，而不再随 surface 增长。这正是本次修复要做的取舍——保留历史才是目的——但窗口化或复用策略属于第一个真正测到重建变慢的人，而不属于日后某个疑惑工作量为何增长的性能分析者。
+
+`dsh-tui` 为一个纯谓词新增了对 `dsh-compact` 接缝的依赖，与 `dsh-session-reference` 现有用法一致。终端在运行时仍然不需要任何压缩后端。
+
+两项行为随其测试一起改变。表层替换的终端测试此前钉住的是抹除（“隐藏被遮蔽的工具调用”），现在钉住的是保留加恰好一行标记，其中被裁剪的结果副本、重新生成的 assistant 消息以及来自其他插件的替换都不渲染任何内容。压缩快照场景此前声称钉住压缩，却写入了 `workspace-context` 来源；现在它写入真实的检查点来源，并重新录制三份 fixture，以显示被保留的提示、完整的工具卡片和那行标记。
+
+上文的实时／回放等价性由 fixture 钉住，而不只是在此断言：`surface-replayed-compaction` 在挂载时替换已经存在，其录制结果与实时路径的 `surface-after-compaction-wide` 逐字节一致。改动任一路径都会破坏这项相等——这正是要点：回放投影才是当初对用户造成回归的部分，两份 fixture 必须一起变动。

+# Agent Note: The approval takeover shares the composer's text cap
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-30-approval-panel-command-cap.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+The approval panel is a composer takeover: while a sandbox escalation waits, it replaces the InputBar in the composer seat with the model's justification, the paired command, and a refuse/allow row. Both texts are unbounded model output, and the card had no height cap. A long command — the realistic shape, since escalation happens on the command the sandbox just denied, and a denied command is often a long inline write — grew the card until the action row left the viewport. The user could read the request and not answer it: the buttons existed, off screen, in a sticky footer that had already used the whole column.
+
+The InputBar the panel replaces has always been capped (14 lines, then the textarea scrolls), so the takeover was also the one composer state that could grow without limit — the seat's height jumped on election and jumped back on answer.
+
+## Decision
+
+The panel's justification and command move into one scroll region (`data-approval-scroll`) capped at the same height as the composer's draft area; the amber strip and the action row sit outside it, so both buttons are in the card at every content length.
+
+The cap is one value with two consumers, declared as `--dsh-composer-text-max-height: 336px` on `ConversationRoot`'s `.composerSeat` — the composer chain's only shared ancestor, since the fallback InputBar and an elected takeover render as siblings. `InputBar`'s mirror and the panel's scroll region both read it, so the seat cannot cap its two states differently: what the designer asked for ("unify it with the input box's max height") is now a fact of the stylesheet rather than a number repeated in two files. The region is `box-sizing: border-box` so the cap is its outer height, the same box the composer's draft area occupies.
+
+The region is a tab stop (`tabIndex={0}`, named `role="group"`). Unlike the question composer's scroll body, whose option rows are focusable and pull the container along, this one holds nothing but text: without its own tab stop a keyboard-only user could reach the buttons and never the command's tail, and approve what they could not finish reading.
+
+The panel's card rebinds `--dsh-scrollbar-thumb{,-hover}` to the l2 pair, as every scrolling surface on an elevated background must ([scrollbar contract](../../../../packages/client/ui-theme/src/styles/scrollbar.css)).
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Cap the whole card instead of the text region.** One declaration, no restructuring, and it reads as the literal "same max height as the input box". Rejected because the card holds the strip and the action row: at 336px total the justification and command would get ~250px, less room than the draft they replace, and the numbers would only agree by coincidence of the strip's height. Capping the text region makes both seats top out at the same text height, which is the property that keeps the footer from jumping.
+
+**Cap against the viewport like the question composer (`min(60vh, 520px)`).** The sibling takeover already does this, so it is the local precedent. Rejected because the designer's request was parity with the InputBar, and the two takeovers are not the same shape: the question composer's scroll content is a list of options the user must compare, which wants as much viewport as it can get, while the approval panel's is one command the user skims before deciding. A viewport-relative cap would also make the seat's height jump on election again, in the other direction.
+
+**Ellipsize or truncate the command.** No scroll region, no cap, and the buttons stay put. Rejected because the command is the thing being approved: hiding its tail asks the user to consent to text they cannot read. Truncation is also unrecoverable here — the panel is the whole approval UI, so there is no "show more" surface to fall back to.

+**Leave the action row inside the scroll region and cap the region.** Fewer moving parts than pinning the row. Rejected because it reproduces the defect inside the card: the buttons scroll out of the region, and the user has to discover a scrollbar to reach them.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- A long command scrolls inside the card and the refuse/allow buttons stay on screen. Measured on the built client at 900x1000 and 900x700: the region reports `scrollHeight` past `clientHeight`, and both buttons stay inside the card and inside the viewport.
+- Electing the takeover no longer changes how tall the composer seat can get, so the transcript above it does not reflow by hundreds of pixels when an approval arrives or resolves.
+- The InputBar's 14-line cap now resolves through a custom property inherited from `.composerSeat`. Rendering the bar outside that seat would drop the declaration (an unresolved `var()` with no fallback), so a future composer host has to carry the property — which is why it is declared on the shared seat rather than the app root.
+- The scenario's recorded command is a 200-token blob, far longer than a round trip needs. That cost is deliberate: the cap is unfalsifiable without content that passes it, and the model compresses any regular payload (the first recording turned "alpha 400 times" into `printf 'alpha %.0s' {1..400}`, a one-line command that proves nothing).
+
+## Verification
+
+`apps/web/tests/approval-composer.e2e.ts` drives the real composition: a read-only session, a denied write, the model's escalation retry, and the answer clicked through the panel. The geometry assertion runs on the live panel at two viewport heights and is guarded against holding vacuously — the region must actually be scrolling, and the measured cap must equal the composer's own, which the test reads off the live textarea before sending rather than hardcoding the px value.
+
+Confirmed both directions against the built client. With the cap reverted, the region reports `scrolls: false` and grows to the command's full height (1798px for the recorded blob at 900x1000, against 336px capped); at 900x700 the card is 680px tall against a 700px viewport and the action row's bottom lands at y=749 — below the fold, the designer's report exactly. With the cap restored the scenario passes in replay.
+
+Reproducing the off-screen buttons needs a card taller than the scrollport, not merely a tall card. The composer seat is `position: sticky; bottom: 0`, so while the card still fits it stays pinned to the viewport bottom and the buttons remain visible — at 900x1000 the uncapped card ate the whole transcript yet kept its action row on screen. Only once the card outgrows the scrollport does sticky stop being able to hold the bottom edge, and the row goes under.
+
+The geometry block and the golden are replay-only, so record mode reaches the fixture write instead of aborting on layout.
+
+The scenario keeps exactly one golden — the waiting panel — and asserts the answered state on the world instead (the decided outcome, the file the escalated command wrote, `DONE`, the panel gone, the composer re-enabled). An answered-transcript golden was recorded first and failed on Linux CI: the denied first attempt renders the OS's own refusal, and that text is platform-specific (`bash: notes.txt: Operation not permitted` on macOS against `bash: line 1: notes.txt: Read-only file system` on Linux). Any scenario whose transcript contains a sandbox-denied command inherits that, so the denial belongs in assertions, never in a golden.
+
+The panel ships as a client-module bundle: `pnpm run build:web` alone does not pick up a change to `ApprovalPanel.module.css` or a new `data-` hook in `ApprovalPanel.tsx` — the package build must run first, or the browser lane asserts against an older client than the tree.

+# Agent Note: 审批接管面板与输入框共用同一文本高度上限
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-30-approval-panel-command-cap.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+审批面板是一次 composer 接管：当一次沙箱越权申请处于等待状态时，它在 composer 容器中取代 InputBar，展示模型给出的理由、与之配对的命令，以及一行拒绝／允许按钮。这两段文本都是长度不受限的模型输出，而卡片当时没有任何高度上限。命令一长——而这正是现实中的常见形态，因为越权申请针对的就是沙箱刚刚拒绝的那条命令，而被拒绝的命令往往是一次很长的内联写入——卡片就会一直变高，直到操作按钮行离开视口。用户能读到这次申请，却无法回应它：按钮存在，只是在屏幕之外，位于一个已经占满整列的吸底容器里。
+
+被它取代的 InputBar 一直是有上限的（14 行，之后由 textarea 自行滚动），因此这次接管也是 composer 唯一一个可以无限增高的状态——被选中时容器高度骤增，回应之后又骤降。
+
+## 决策
+
+面板的理由与命令移入同一个滚动区域（`data-approval-scroll`），其高度上限与 composer 的草稿区完全相同；琥珀色状态条与操作按钮行位于该区域之外，因此无论内容多长，两个按钮都留在卡片内。
+
+这个上限是一个值、两个消费者，以 `--dsh-composer-text-max-height: 336px` 声明在 `ConversationRoot` 的 `.composerSeat` 上——它是 composer 链唯一的共同祖先，因为兜底的 InputBar 与被选中的接管面板是兄弟节点。`InputBar` 的 mirror 与面板的滚动区域都读取它，于是同一个容器不可能给它的两种状态设出不同上限：设计同学要求的"可以跟输入框最大高度统一"，如今是样式表中的一个事实，而不是抄在两个文件里的一个数字。该区域取 `box-sizing: border-box`，因此上限指的是它的外框高度，与 composer 草稿区占据的是同一个盒子。
+
+该区域自身是一个 Tab 停靠点（`tabIndex={0}`，带名称的 `role="group"`）。提问 composer 的滚动体不需要这样做——它的选项行本身可聚焦，会把容器一起带过去；而这里除文本之外别无内容：没有自己的停靠点，仅用键盘的用户能走到按钮却走不到命令尾部，于是可能批准了自己没读完的东西。
+
+面板卡片把 `--dsh-scrollbar-thumb{,-hover}` 重新绑定到 l2 那一对，这是每一个位于高层表面上的滚动区域都必须做的（[滚动条约定](../../../../packages/client/ui-theme/src/styles/scrollbar.css)）。
+
+## 曾考虑的替代方案
+
+**给整张卡片设上限，而不是给文本区域设。** 一条声明，不需要重构结构，而且它读起来就是字面意义上的"与输入框相同的最大高度"。之所以否决：卡片还装着状态条和操作按钮行——总高 336px 时，理由与命令只能分到约 250px，比它们所取代的草稿区更矮，而且两边数字能对上纯属状态条高度的巧合。给文本区域设上限，才能让两种状态在同一文本高度处收住，而这正是让底部不再跳动的那条性质。
+
+**像提问 composer 那样按视口设上限（`min(60vh, 520px)`）。** 同为接管面板的兄弟组件已经这么做了，因此这是本地既有先例。之所以否决：设计同学的要求是与 InputBar 对齐，而两个接管面板形态并不相同——提问 composer 的滚动内容是一组需要用户互相比较的选项，能占多少视口就该占多少；审批面板的滚动内容则是一条命令，用户在决定之前扫读即可。按视口设上限还会让容器高度在被选中时再次跳动，只是方向相反。
+
+**对命令做省略号或截断处理。** 不需要滚动区域，不需要上限，按钮也不会移位。之所以否决：命令正是被审批的对象，隐去它的尾部等于要求用户为自己读不到的文本背书。在这里截断还是不可恢复的——面板就是审批的全部界面，没有"展开更多"的落脚处。
+
+**把操作按钮行留在滚动区域内，只给该区域设上限。** 比把按钮行固定住少动几处。之所以否决：这会把缺陷搬进卡片内部——按钮滚出该区域，用户得先发现有滚动条才能碰到它们。
+
+## 后果
+
+- 长命令在卡片内滚动，拒绝／允许按钮留在屏幕内。在构建产物客户端上于 900x1000 与 900x700 实测：该区域报告的 `scrollHeight` 超过 `clientHeight`，两个按钮都留在卡片内、也都留在视口内。
+- 选中接管面板不再改变 composer 容器能达到的高度，因此审批到来或解决时，上方的会话流不会有数百像素的重排。
+- InputBar 的 14 行上限现在通过一个自 `.composerSeat` 继承而来的自定义属性解析。把输入栏渲染到该容器之外会丢掉这条声明（一个没有兜底值的未解析 `var()`），因此未来的 composer 宿主必须带上这个属性——这也正是它声明在共享容器上、而不是应用根节点上的原因。
+- 该场景录制的命令是一段 200 个 token 的字符块，远超一次往返所需。这个代价是有意付出的：没有能越过上限的内容，这个上限无法被证伪，而模型会把任何规整的载荷压缩掉（第一次录制时，模型把"alpha 重复 400 次"写成了 `printf 'alpha %.0s' {1..400}`，一条什么也证明不了的单行命令）。
+
+## 验证
+
+`apps/web/tests/approval-composer.e2e.ts` 驱动的是真实组合：一个只读会话、一次被拒绝的写入、模型的越权重试，以及在面板上点击完成的回应。几何断言在两个视口高度上针对活动面板执行，并有守卫防止它空洞地成立——该区域必须确实处在滚动状态，且实测上限必须等于 composer 自身的上限，后者由测试在发送之前从活动 textarea 上读出，而不是把该像素值写死。
+
+在构建产物客户端上双向确认过。撤销上限后，该区域报告 `scrolls: false`，并长到命令的完整高度（900x1000 下，录制的字符块为 1798px，而设上限后为 336px）；在 900x700 下卡片高 680px、视口高 700px，操作按钮行底边落在 y=749——正在折叠之下，与设计同学的反馈完全一致。恢复上限后，该场景在回放模式下通过。
+
+要复现按钮跑到屏幕外，需要的是比滚动视口更高的卡片，而不只是一张很高的卡片。composer 容器为 `position: sticky; bottom: 0`，因此在卡片尚能容纳时它会一直吸附在视口底部，按钮仍然可见——在 900x1000 下，未设上限的卡片吃掉了整个会话流，却仍把操作按钮行留在屏幕内。只有当卡片长过滚动视口，sticky 才再也无法守住底边，按钮行随之沉入折叠之下。
+
+几何断言块与 golden 仅在回放模式下执行，这样录制模式才能走到写入 fixture 那一步，而不是在布局检查处中断。
+
+该场景只保留一份 golden —— 等待中的面板；回应之后的状态改为对世界作断言（决策结果、越权命令写出的那个文件、`DONE`、面板消失、输入框重新可用）。最初还录了一份"已回应会话流"的 golden，它在 Linux CI 上失败了：第一次被拒绝的尝试渲染的是操作系统自己的拒绝文本，而这段文本因平台而异（macOS 为 `bash: notes.txt: Operation not permitted`，Linux 为 `bash: line 1: notes.txt: Read-only file system`）。任何会话流中含有被沙箱拒绝命令的场景都会继承这一点，因此这类拒绝只能进断言，绝不能进 golden。
+
+该面板以客户端模组包的形式发布：单跑 `pnpm run build:web` 不会带上对 `ApprovalPanel.module.css` 的改动，也不会带上 `ApprovalPanel.tsx` 中新增的 `data-` 钩子——必须先执行包构建，否则浏览器测试通道会对着一个比工作树更旧的客户端做断言。

+# Agent Note: Composer context stack order
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-30-composer-context-stack-order.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+Goal, Todo, and Queue contribute independently to the same `conversation.input.dock` list, but their registration order and spacing rules did not encode the composition matrix. The renderer therefore placed Todo before Queue and Goal, while both Queue and Goal carried negative margins intended for the composer boundary. When all three were present, Queue joined to Goal and Goal joined to the composer, reversing the design's hierarchy.
+
+## Decision
+
+The composer context stack has one canonical ascending order: Goal at `0`, Todo at `10`, and Queue at `20`, followed by the composer bar outside the list. The gaps leave room for future entries to declare their intended position without relying on plugin activation order.
+
+`ConversationRoot` owns the 6px space between independent context cards. Goal is a standalone 752×36px card and collapsed Todo is a standalone 752×44px card. Queue is the terminal dock entry: its 776px wrapper contains the same 752px panel column and subtracts the shared gap plus a named 5px layout overlap, so the later composer card paints over only the queue edge. Empty entries render null and consume no gap.
+
+The order and overlap are separate contracts. Registration order establishes semantic hierarchy; CSS variables on the stack establish shared geometry. Queue does not infer that it may overlap merely from being the last visible entry, because Goal or Todo can be the last visible context card when no queue exists and must remain separated from the composer.
+
+## Verification
+
+Registration tests pin all three order values. Browser screenshots cover the full Goal/Todo/Queue matrix, Goal+Todo without Queue, and Queue alone; together they exercise every adjacency: Goal–Todo, Todo–Queue, and Queue–Composer.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Keep independent negative margins on Goal and Queue.** Rejected because the affected neighbor changes with slot order; a local margin cannot express which relationship is allowed unless the semantic order is also fixed.
+
+**Render each known dock id separately in `ConversationRoot`.** Rejected because it turns an extensible list slot into a hardcoded component inventory and forces the owner to change for every new registrant.
+
+**Tuck whichever dock entry is last.** Rejected because Goal and Todo are standalone cards. Their absence matrix must not change the surface semantics of whichever card remains.
+
+## Consequences
+
+The visual hierarchy is stable for every presence combination, and Queue is the only context surface joined to the composer. New input-dock plugins must choose an order relative to Goal `0`, Todo `10`, and Queue `20`; an entry after Queue also requires an explicit decision about which surface owns the composer boundary.

+# Agent Note: Composer 上下文堆栈顺序
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-30-composer-context-stack-order.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+Goal、Todo 与 Queue 独立注册到同一个 `conversation.input.dock` 列表，但各自的注册顺序与间距规则没有编码组合矩阵。因此，渲染器将 Todo 放在 Queue 和 Goal 之前，而 Queue 与 Goal 都带有用于 composer 边界的负外边距。三者同时出现时，Queue 与 Goal 相接，Goal 与 composer 相接，颠倒了设计层级。
+
+## 决策
+
+composer 上下文堆栈采用唯一规范的升序排列：Goal 为 `0`，Todo 为 `10`，Queue 为 `20`，随后是位于列表外的 composer bar。顺序值之间的空档使未来条目可以声明预期位置，不必依赖插件激活顺序。
+
+`ConversationRoot` 负责独立上下文卡片之间的 6px 间距。Goal 是一张独立的 752×36px 卡片，折叠后的 Todo 是一张独立的 752×44px 卡片。Queue 是末端 dock 条目：其 776px 包装层包含相同的 752px 面板列，并减去共享间距与具名的 5px 布局重叠量，因此后渲染的 composer 卡片只覆盖 Queue 边缘。空条目渲染为 null，不占用间距。
+
+顺序与重叠是两项独立契约。注册顺序定义语义层级，stack 上的 CSS 变量定义共享几何。系统不能仅因 Queue 是最后一个可见条目，就推断它可以与 composer 重叠，因为没有 Queue 时，Goal 或 Todo 可能成为最后一个可见上下文卡片，而它们必须与 composer 保持间隔。
+
+## 验证
+
+注册测试固定了三个顺序值。浏览器截图覆盖完整的 Goal／Todo／Queue 组合矩阵、没有 Queue 的 Goal+Todo，以及仅有 Queue 的情况；这些场景共同覆盖全部相邻关系：Goal–Todo、Todo–Queue 与 Queue–Composer。
+
+## 考虑过的替代方案
+
+**Goal 和 Queue 分别保留独立的负外边距。** 不予采纳，因为受影响的相邻项会随 slot 顺序变化；除非语义顺序也固定，否则局部外边距无法表达允许哪一种关系。
+
+**在 `ConversationRoot` 中分别渲染每个已知 dock id。** 不予采纳，因为这会把可扩展的列表 slot 变成硬编码的组件清单，并迫使 owner 在每新增一个注册方时随之修改。
+
+**让最后一个 dock 条目贴卡。** 不予采纳，因为 Goal 和 Todo 是独立卡片；Goal 或 Todo 缺席时的组合不得改变剩余卡片的界面语义。
+
+## 后果
+
+所有存在组合下的视觉层级都保持稳定，Queue 是唯一与 composer 相接的上下文界面。新的 input-dock 插件必须相对于 Goal `0`、Todo `10` 与 Queue `20` 选择顺序；若条目位于 Queue 之后，还必须明确决定由哪个界面负责 composer 边界。

+# Agent Note: Web details default closed
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-30-web-details-default-closed.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+The transient layout store initialized details to its 360px contract width. The first connected Session and every full reload therefore reserved a right column before the user selected any detail content. Chat tool rows deliberately remain inline and do not open details, while Trajectory rows open the panel when an event is selected, so an open layout default did not represent an active detail selection.
+
+## Decision
+
+The layout store initializes details to zero while retaining the existing 360px contract default for `openDetails()`. `AppFrame` keeps the details slot mounted at zero width, so an explicit entry point such as Trajectory event selection can open the panel without remounting its subtree. The [Session ownership lifecycle](2026-07-29-web-details-session-lifecycle.md) remains authoritative: unselected surfaces derive zero width without taking ownership, returning to the same Session preserves an explicitly opened width, and selecting a different Session closes it.
+
+Panel geometry remains transient. No browser storage key is introduced, and reload restores the sidebar default while details returns to zero. Component tests pin the store default, mounted zero-width slot, drag and concession behavior after explicit opening, and Session ownership transitions. The keyless shipped-composition regression pins the closed first Session, reload, new-session surface, and subsequent Session selections.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Persist the last open or closed preference.** Rejected because reload should have a deterministic closed baseline, and persisting geometry would reintroduce stale viewing state across browser sessions.
+
+**Keep details open until Chat receives a replacement selection gesture.** Rejected because empty space is not useful detail content. Chat's inline tool-row interaction and any future detail-selection gesture are separate product decisions.
+
+**Remove the details column and layout service.** Rejected because Trajectory already opens event details through this seam, and keeping the mounted slot preserves that working interaction.
+
+## Consequences
+
+New, restored, and reloaded Sessions use the full center area until an explicit details action opens the right column. Trajectory event selection can still open details at 360px and its close control returns the track to zero; Chat tool rows remain geometry-inert. Switching to another Session closes an opened panel, and no panel state survives reload.

+# Agent Note: Web 详情栏默认关闭
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-30-web-details-default-closed.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+瞬时布局 store 原本将详情栏初始化为 360px 的契约宽度。因此，首个已连接会话以及每次完整重新加载都会在用户选择任何详情内容之前预留右侧栏。Chat 工具行有意保持内联，不会打开详情栏；Trajectory 行则会在选中事件时打开详情栏。因此，布局默认打开并不表示存在有效的详情选中项。
+
+## 决策
+
+布局 store 将详情栏初始化为零，同时保留 `openDetails()` 现有的 360px 契约默认宽度。`AppFrame` 仍以零宽度挂载详情 slot，因此 Trajectory 事件选择等显式入口可以打开详情栏，而无需重新挂载其子树。[会话所有权生命周期](2026-07-29-web-details-session-lifecycle.md)仍是权威契约：未选中表面会派生零宽度而不取得所有权；返回同一会话时会保留显式打开后的宽度；选择不同会话时则会关闭详情栏。
+
+面板几何信息仍是瞬时状态。系统不新增浏览器存储键；重新加载会恢复侧边栏默认值，并使详情栏回到零宽度。组件测试固定验证 store 默认值、保持挂载的零宽度 slot、显式打开后的拖动与让步行为，以及会话所有权过渡。无密钥的已交付组合回归测试固定验证首个会话保持关闭、重新加载、New Session 表面和后续会话选择。
+
+## 考虑过的替代方案
+
+**持久化最后一次打开或关闭的首选状态。** 之所以否决：重新加载必须具有确定的关闭基线，而持久化几何信息会在浏览器会话之间重新引入陈旧的查看状态。
+
+**在 Chat 获得替代性的选择手势前保持详情栏打开。** 之所以否决：空白区域不是有用的详情内容。Chat 的内联工具行交互与未来可能增加的详情选择手势属于彼此独立的产品决策。
+
+**移除详情栏和布局服务。** 之所以否决：Trajectory 已经通过该服务边界打开事件详情；继续挂载该 slot 可以保留这一正常工作的交互。
+
+## 后果
+
+新建、恢复和重新加载的会话会使用完整的中央区域，直至显式详情操作打开右侧栏。Trajectory 事件选择仍可将详情栏打开至 360px，其关闭控件会使轨道回到零；Chat 工具行仍不改变几何信息。切换到其他会话会关闭已打开的详情栏，并且任何面板状态都不会在重新加载后保留。

A remount retains the existing baseline only when its typed event remains in the current visible surface, and still rebuilds scope and provider-version tracking from current files. If compaction has shadowed that event, the remount injects a current baseline. A resume always re-composes.

 **Shared (here):**
-- **Matcher** — `matchesMatcher(pattern, query, mode)`. The ONE axis the dialects differ on is collapsed to the `mode` parameter: `claude` treats a pure `[A-Za-z0-9_|]+` pattern as a literal (pipe = exact-match alternation) and anything else as a regex; `codex` is always an unanchored regex. Match-all on absent/`''`/`'*'`; an invalid regex matches nothing (never throws into the loop).
+- **Matcher** — `matcherDiagnostic(pattern, mode)` and `matchesMatcher(pattern, query, mode)`.

Match-all on absent/`''`/`'*'`. Each bridge ignores unsupported events before group parsing, discards matcher fields on supported events without matcher subjects, validates the remaining runnable groups, and treats an invalid regex there as a whole-config load failure, with a stable dialect/pattern/event diagnostic; no hook listeners are registered. Runtime matching still contains an invalid regex as a non-match, so a direct library caller never throws into the loop.
 - **Execution** — `runHook(bash, hook, options)`. Runs a command hook through the `ctx.bash` seam rather than a bespoke `spawn`: the executor already provides the scrubbed-but-overridable env, process-group kills, and timeout the protocol needs, and `dsh-bash`'s `stdin`/`env` fields (added for exactly this) are the trusted-plugin surface an in-process bridge is allowed to use. 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`).
 - **Decode** — `parseHookOutput(exit, stdout, stderr)`, the exit-code + structured-stdout codec, producing a dialect-neutral `HookOutput`. Exit `0` → lenient JSON parse of stdout; exit `2` → blocking error with `stderr` as the reason (surfaced as `decision: 'block'` so no caller needs a separate exit-code branch); other → non-blocking error. Parses the CC structured-stdout fields that have a consumer on some path (`continue`/`stopReason`/`decision`/`hookSpecificOutput.{permissionDecision,additionalContext,updatedInput}`/`systemMessage`); the bridge honors only the subset meaningful for its dialect. Fields with no consumer on any path are not parsed at all (CC's `suppressOutput` — hook stdout never enters a transcript here, so there is nothing to suppress; see [the tighten-hook-protocol-contract Agent Note](../simplification/2026-07-04-tighten-hook-protocol-contract.md)).
 - **Merge** — `mergeHookOutputs(outputs)`, folding multiple matched hooks into one most-restrictive `MergedHookOutcome`: permission precedence **deny > ask > allow**, halt sticky on the first `continue:false`, block reasons joined `\n\n`, context/system-messages accumulated in order.

Protocol tests cover every matcher mode, exit-code and codec field, runner plumbing, merge precedence, and audit helper at per-file 100%; bridge tests exercise the library's real load path. `updatedInput` is parsed but only logged and warned until the [input-rewrite proposal](../../proposed/feature/2026-06-30-pre-tool-input-rewrite.md) lands.

+The Host `session.fork` RPC accepts `atSeq` as an anchor within the desired turn rather than as the store's inclusive safe boundary. It selects the first `turn/end` at or after that anchor; an omitted or past-end anchor selects the last completed turn.

It then attaches the child to the source Workspace.

 The public surface stays small and discoverable: live session branching is part of `ctx.sessions`, next to `create({ seed })`, rather than a standalone service or a two-step helper pair. Persistence continues to work through existing `session/created` and `session/flush` behavior: a forked child starts life with seeded events, so existing backends persist that seed once and preserve `parentSession` / `seedLength` in the header.

 The vm isolates accidental global pollution, and the context façade hides framework internals. Neither restricts the authority of exposed services: a temporary Plugin can call `ctx.bash` with the host executor's privileges and reach the real filesystem and web services. It runs in the shared DSH runtime and may affect other sessions in that process. This is an opt-in development tool with bash-equivalent trust, not a security boundary or product default.

 DeepSeek Harness ships [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui`](../../../../packages/ui/tui/README.md) as a dedicated Cordis plugin. It owns terminal input and presentation only; agent lifecycle, session persistence, tool execution, and the model-facing question tool remain separate composition entries. The plugin requires both stdin and stdout to be TTYs and fails instead of silently changing to line-oriented behavior.
 
-The app layer has one terminal front door. `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui-demo` mounts the TUI before the configured agent, and `examples/tui-agent` owns the interactive coding composition and Code Mode overlay directly. Non-interactive tasks use `@deepseek-ai/dsh-cli-demo`; ACP remains a separate automation protocol.
+There is one terminal front door. `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui` mounts before the configured agent, and `apps/cli/config/tui.cordis.yml` — an overlay over the shared `base.cordis.yml` — owns the interactive coding composition. Non-interactive tasks use the official headless surface; ACP remains a separate automation protocol and owns the supported Code Mode demo.
 
 The selected front door receives the exact generated or resumed `SessionId` used by the pre-created agent. It mounts before the agent composition, waits for the matching root agent, and enters full-screen mode only after that agent exists. A matching `agent-loop/config-start-failed` event is therefore reported before screen takeover and exits with status 1.
 
 ### Session projection and interaction
 
-The TUI rebuilds the transcript from the active `session.surface` and reprojects it whenever an event carries a `surfaceOp`, so resumed and compacted history matches the model-visible conversation. It renders Markdown text and reasoning, including fenced code with hidden Markdown markers, a dim optional language label, and a code-colored body, token totals, the latest `todo/write` plan, and tool cards produced through each tool definition's `presentCall` and `presentResult` methods. Long card bodies retain a configurable head/tail preview with the hidden-line count; one terminal control expands or collapses every card. Pending chunks and tool calls update the same components that completed events settle.
+The TUI rebuilds the transcript from the append-origin session events, so resumed history keeps every message the reader already saw; a compacted range stays readable behind one marker instead of matching the model-visible conversation ([append-origin transcript](../bug-fix/2026-07-29-human-transcript-append-origin.md)). It renders Markdown text and reasoning, including fenced code with hidden Markdown markers, a dim optional language label, and a code-colored body, token totals, the latest `todo/write` plan, and tool cards produced through each tool definition's `presentCall` and `presentResult` methods. Long card bodies retain a configurable head/tail preview with the hidden-line count; one terminal control expands or collapses every card. Pending chunks and tool calls update the same components that completed events settle.
 
 Editor input calls `agent.send()` while idle and `agent.steer()` while a turn is running. Cancellation, reasoning visibility, tool-card expansion, redraw, transcript clearing, and exit are terminal-only controls. `/exit` and `/quit` share the same exit path: they cancel an active turn, wait for idle, and then restore and close the terminal. The idle footer derives context occupancy from `tokenMeter` and shows the selected model and explicit reasoning effort; during a run, elapsed activity and the Escape interrupt hint replace that summary. `/status` remains available in either state and appends a detailed terminal-only snapshot: session identity and timestamps, selected model, reasoning effort/default state and reasoning visibility, lifecycle counts folded from the event log, the same deduplicated usage buckets and KV-cache rate as the footer, and context use from `tokenMeter` plus the selected model's advertised capacity. The plugin registers the shared `userInteraction` provider and presents queued questions in a wide bottom-left keyboard panel with batch progress, numbered options, and aligned descriptions; the panel's controls hint lists only actions meaningful for the current option count, omitting navigation when exactly one option is shown; agent behavior and answer logging remain owned by their existing services.
 
-The `/model` command presents the advisory `ctx.llm` catalog as a keyboard selector and changes only this TUI session's target; argument forms remain available for direct selection. Each model row owns the adapter-advertised reasoning-effort order and default: Shift+Tab cycles that row's efforts, includes provider-default behavior when the adapter advertises no default, and leaves models without selectable metadata unchanged. Agent-scoped prompt-assembly and request waterfalls snapshot one provider/model/reasoning-effort target per step, so `{{provider}}` / `{{model}}` interpolation and request routing cannot split when a command arrives during assembly. The latest logged request header restores a used target; a selection that never reaches a request remains process-local.
+The `/model` command presents the advisory `ctx.llm` catalog as a keyboard selector and changes only this TUI session's target; argument forms remain available for direct selection. The selector carries a filter box above the list: typing narrows the rows to a case-insensitive substring over each row's `provider/model` label, model name, and description, keeping the selection on the previously highlighted row when it survives the filter; Escape clears a non-empty filter before a second Escape cancels the selector. Each model row owns the adapter-advertised reasoning-effort order and default: Shift+Tab cycles that row's efforts, includes provider-default behavior when the adapter advertises no default, and leaves models without selectable metadata unchanged.

The flat page keeps the search field, workspace, candidates, and shortcut footer in stable screen regions; only the active row uses the accent role. Its search editor starts immediately after the search glyph and emits pi-tui's cursor marker, so terminal IME composition remains anchored in the field. Escape clears a non-empty query before a second Escape closes the picker. It lists the current workspace by last logged activity and searches log-backed title or id. Each candidate displays current/live/persisted state, last turn outcome, recent provider/model, durable goal phase when present, and the id as secondary text.

 ## Problem
 
-The web UI had no goal surface at all: the goal stack shipped with model tools, the TUI/ACP adapters, and the `/goal` command, but the browser client exposed none of it — no runtime verbs, no indicator. This change introduces the client goal verbs (runtime session methods over RPC) and the first goal UI together. Placement follows the redesign's premise that goal presence belongs to the composer's context: the goal is a property of the work the user is about to prompt, so its indicator docks directly above the message composer as a rounded-top strip tucked under the composer card's top edge. The mock keeps only a sparkle, a phase word ("Ongoing/Paused/Blocked Goal"), the truncated objective, and edit/clear icon actions, with resume appearing only on a paused goal.

Placement follows the redesign's premise that goal presence belongs to the composer's context: the goal is a property of the work the user is about to prompt, so its indicator belongs in the composer-context stack; the [composer context stack decision](../bug-fix/2026-07-30-composer-context-stack-order.md) owns its position among Goal, Todo, Queue, and the composer. The mock keeps only a sparkle, a phase word ("Ongoing/Paused/Blocked Goal"), the truncated objective, and edit/clear icon actions, with resume appearing only on a paused goal.
 
 ## Decision
 
-`GoalBar` (`packages/client/ui-goal/src/client/GoalBar.tsx`) is a new props-driven, self-contained component; `ConversationRoot` mounts it immediately before the composer `InputBar`. The strip's CSS mirrors the composer's horizontal geometry (32px side padding, 776px centered cap) plus the mock's 12px inset, and a -10px bottom margin eats InputBar's 8px top padding and tucks its square bottom edge 2px under the composer card's top edge. All strip states share one fixed 38px height so switching between them never resizes it. Loading (`goal === undefined`), absent (`goal === null`), and `phase === 'complete'` render nothing — a completed goal is history, not chrome.
+`GoalBar` (`packages/client/ui-goal/src/client/GoalBar.tsx`) is a props-driven, self-contained component registered first in the composer's input-dock list. Its standalone 752px card follows the composer's horizontal geometry, and every visible state shares one fixed 36px height so switching phases never resizes it. Loading (`goal === undefined`), absent (`goal === null`), and `phase === 'complete'` render nothing — a completed goal is history, not chrome.
 
 Visibility drives the label and actions: active shows "Ongoing Goal" with pause/edit/clear; paused shows "Paused Goal" and swaps pause for a resume icon button; blocked shows "Blocked Goal" and carries `blockedReason.message` as the strip's `title` tooltip. Goal creation lives on the `/goal` command, not in the bar. The pencil swaps the strip for an inline edit form prefilled with the current objective: Enter or the check button saves through `GoalBarActions.onEdit(objective)`, Esc cancels, and an all-whitespace objective keeps save disabled. The form closes only when the edit succeeds; a failure preserves the draft and displays the error in the bar. Resume and clear failures are displayed there as well. Clear otherwise calls `onClear` directly with no confirmation — a clear keeps a durable tombstone, so nothing is unrecoverable. An effect keyed on the goal's id drops the edit form when the goal's identity changes, so a surviving draft can never be written over the goal that replaced it.

 - Objective editing is reachable from the UI for the first time, through `goal.edit` with the runtime-owned ref; complete remains available to other surfaces (`/goal`, model tools).
 - `goal === null` renders nothing; the composer carries no persistent create affordance — creation is the `/goal` command's job.

 The `session/event` → `touchSession` activity-pinning chain is deleted wholesale; the workspace account order is now manually owned — new sessions prepend at attach, and explicit reordering goes through `workspace.insertSessionBefore({ workspaceId, sessionId, beforeSessionId? })` (DOM insertBefore semantics: with an anchor it inserts before it, omitted appends to the end).

 **Keep the rename dialog in ui-sidebar (smallest change)** — that is the problem itself: workspace-domain dialogs scattered in a borrowed slot, with each addition (the Delete confirmation is coming) repeating the cross-package wiring. Review first considered moving only the rename modal; the ruling was to give the whole browsing region to ui-workspace and leave the shell geometry-only.
 
-**Keep parent/child adjacency in flat mode** — contradicts strict recency (a child newer than its parent's sibling cannot slot adjacently), and the flat view's purpose is dropping the hierarchy; flattening fully and disabling drag in flat mode (no persistence carrier) is more consistent.
+**Nest sessions by fork lineage in WorkSpace mode** — nesting makes the current child visible only while its ancestors are expanded and limits in-group manual ordering to root nodes; `parentId` is lineage data, not a list-navigation structure. Flattening all sessions into peer rows lets each row be opened, searched, and ordered independently; In one list still disables drag because it has no workspace persistence carrier.
 
 ## Consequences
 
 - Manual order is the sole authority over the workspace account: an order the user arranges is never scrambled by activity; the cost is losing float-to-top-on-activity, whose signal now rides the row status dot and time label. The `WorkspaceView.sessionIds` wire contract is reworded to the manual-order semantics.
 - The two-fact shell/region contract funnels every future workspace-domain feature (Delete confirmation, cross-group moves, Ungrouped adoption) into the single ui-workspace package; ui-sidebar no longer evolves with session-list features.
 - Flat mode supports neither reordering nor a create-in-workspace entry point (switching back to grouped view is required) — an accepted scope reduction.

 - 手动序是唯一的 workspace 账本序权威:用户排好的顺序不再被活动打乱;代价是「最近活跃浮到最上」的行为消失,活跃感知转由行内状态点与时间标签承担。`WorkspaceView.sessionIds` 的 wire 契约随之改为手动序措辞。
 - 壳/区域两事实契约把 workspace 域的后续功能(Delete 确认、跨组移动、Ungrouped 收编)全部收进 ui-workspace 单包;ui-sidebar 不再随 session 列表功能演进。
 - 平铺模式不支持排序与分组入口(建到指定 workspace 需切回分组视图),是拍板接受的范围收窄。

+# Agent Note: Web session fork actions
+
+Status: implemented

+
+## Problem
+
+The Session store already provides a fork primitive that creates a child session from a completed-turn prefix, but the Web client has no unified interaction contract. The Session-row menu can express only “branch from the latest completed turn,” while message IconActions need to express “branch from the turn containing this message”; if the two entry points independently interpret the boundary, switching, and failure behavior, the same user action acquires two sets of semantics. Nesting a fork child beneath its source session also makes the newly selected child visible only while its ancestors are expanded and weakens the workspace manual-order model.
+
+## Decision
+
+The Web Session-row menu and message IconActions share the client runtime's `sessions.fork` action. A Session row passes `{ sessionId, increaseTitle: true }`, so it forks at the source session's last completed turn; a user message or settled assistant content message passes `{ sessionId, atSeq: node.seq, increaseTitle: true }`, so it forks at the turn containing that event. Only the client consumes `increaseTitle`: after adding the child session to its local list, the client increments a trailing `(N)` or `（N）` in the source session's persisted title without changing bracket style, appends ` (1)` to an unnumbered title, and skips the rename when no persisted title exists; the Host fork request still contains only `sessionId` and the optional `atSeq`. The caller opens the child only after the rename succeeds; a fork or rename failure leaves the source session and current selection unchanged, while a child created before a rename failure remains in the list.
+
+`forkAt(seq)` touches the session service only in ui-conversation's apply injection layer; message components report only the event `seq`. Session rows likewise initiate the operation only through ui-workspace's injected callback. Neither presentation package owns session mutation state or duplicates the host's boundary evaluation.
+
+Session lineage is not projected into a list hierarchy. WorkSpace mode displays source sessions and all fork children as peer rows in the manual order from `WorkspaceView.sessionIds`; every row can be opened, searched, and dragged independently. In one list mode continues to sort strictly by `updatedAt`; the Ungrouped group also sorts by recency when no workspace ledger is available. `parentId` remains available for lineage, tool presentation, and later queries, but does not control session-list visibility.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Wire only the Session-row menu.** Rejected: at a message, the user has already selected more precise context; forcing them back to the list can only degrade the boundary to the latest completed turn, while the visible message branch icon would remain non-responsive.
+
+**Allow branching only from user messages.** Rejected: settled assistant content also has a stable event `seq`, and the host places it in its containing completed turn; making only one of two visually identical branch buttons work would create an invisible behavioral difference.
+
+**Nest fork children beneath their source by `parentId`.** Rejected: lineage is not navigation ownership; nesting requires automatic ancestor expansion to reveal the current item and prevents children from participating in the workspace's peer manual order.
+
+**Call the session service directly from message components.** Rejected: client components must not touch `ctx` or business services; injected callbacks keep mutation in the apply world and leave components driven purely by props.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Users can create forks from Session rows, user messages, or settled assistant content messages; all three entry points ultimately use the same runtime/host operation. Message entry points preserve the exact event boundary, while the list entry point preserves the “latest completed turn” shortcut. Successive fork titles increment through `(1)`, `(2)`, and so on instead of repeatedly appending `(1)`; titles with fullwidth parentheses retain that style. Every fork child immediately appears as an ordinary peer row, so the list no longer needs session expansion state, recursive nodes, or twist controls.
+
+Fork and child-rename failures stay silent and preserve the source selection, preventing a derivation action from disrupting the current reading position; this tradeoff also means the UI does not yet expose a failure reason or retry entry point. Package tests separately pin the two message `seq` paths, title increments, and the peer-list derivation; `apps/web/tests/message-actions.e2e.ts` exercises assistant-message branching and Session-row menu branching through the assembled application.

+# Agent Note: Web session fork 操作
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-27-web-session-fork-actions.md) | 中文
+
+## Problem
+
+Session store 已提供按完成轮前缀创建子会话的 fork 原语，但 Web 端没有一份统一的交互契约。Session 行菜单只能表达「从最新完成轮分支」，消息 IconActions 还需要表达「从这条消息所在轮分支」；如果两处各自解释边界、切换与失败行为，同一个用户动作会形成两套语义。把 fork 子会话嵌套在源会话下还会让新选中的子会话依赖祖先展开态才能看见，并削弱 workspace 的手动排序模型。
+
+## Decision
+
+Web 的 session 行菜单与消息 IconActions 共用 client runtime 的 `sessions.fork` 操作。Session 行传 `{ sessionId, increaseTitle: true }`，因此在源会话最后一个已完成轮次处分支；用户消息与已定稿 assistant 内容消息传 `{ sessionId, atSeq: node.seq, increaseTitle: true }`，因此在包含该事件的轮次处分支。`increaseTitle` 只由 client 消费：子会话进入本地列表后，client 把源会话持久化标题尾部的 `(N)` 或 `（N）` 递增并保留括号样式，无编号时追加 ` (1)`，没有持久化标题时不改名；Host fork 请求仍只有 `sessionId` 与可选的 `atSeq`。改名成功后调用方才打开子会话；fork 或改名失败时保持源会话与当前选择不变，改名失败时已创建的子会话仍留在列表中。
+
+`forkAt(seq)` 只在 ui-conversation 的 apply 注入层接触 session 服务，消息组件只回传事件 `seq`。Session 行同理只通过 ui-workspace 的注入回调发起操作；两个呈现包都不持有 session mutation 状态，也不复制 host 的边界求值。
+
+Session lineage 不投影成列表层级。WorkSpace 模式按 `WorkspaceView.sessionIds` 的手动序把源会话与所有 fork 子会话显示为同级行，每行都可独立打开、搜索和拖拽；In one list 模式继续按 `updatedAt` 严格排序；Ungrouped 组在没有 workspace 账本时也按 recency 排序。`parentId` 仍用于 lineage、工具呈现和后续查询，但不控制 session 列表可见性。
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**只接 session 行菜单。** 否决：用户在消息处已经选择了更精确的上下文，强迫其回到列表只能退化为最新完成轮，且已展示的消息分支图标会成为无响应控件。
+
+**只允许用户消息分支。** 否决：已定稿 assistant 内容同样有稳定事件 `seq`，host 会把它归入所属完成轮；让两个外观相同的分支按钮只有一个可用会制造不可见的行为差异。
+
+**按 `parentId` 把 fork 子会话嵌套在源会话下。** 否决：lineage 不是导航所有权；嵌套要求自动展开祖先才能看见当前项，并让子会话无法参与 workspace 的同级手动排序。
+
+**由消息组件直接调用 session 服务。** 否决：client 组件不得接触 `ctx` 或业务服务；注入回调让 mutation 留在 apply 世界，组件保持纯 props。
+
+## Consequences
+
+用户可从 session 行、用户消息或已定稿 assistant 内容消息创建分支，三处最终走同一个 runtime/host 操作；消息点位保留精确事件边界，列表点位保留「最新完成轮」快捷语义。连续 fork 的标题按 `(1)`、`(2)` 递增，而不是重复追加 `(1)`；全角括号标题保持全角样式。所有 fork 子会话立即作为普通同级行出现，列表不再需要 session 展开状态、递归节点或 twist 控件。
+
+Fork 与子会话改名失败都保持静默并保留源选择，避免一个派生操作破坏当前阅读位置；该取舍也意味着 UI 暂不提供失败原因或重试入口。Package tests 分别钉住两种消息 `seq`、标题递增与同级列表派生，`apps/web/tests/message-actions.e2e.ts` 通过装配后的应用执行 assistant 消息分支与 session 行菜单分支。

+# Agent Note: Cross-workspace session resume
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-28-cross-workspace-resume.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+`/resume` could only reach sessions started in the launch directory, so returning to yesterday's work in another project meant remembering its path, leaving the TUI, and relaunching there. Two independent causes produced that limit, and fixing either alone changes nothing.
+
+Storage was the binding one. The shipped TUI composition defaulted its persistence root to a relative `./.sessions`, so each launch directory owned a disjoint JSONL root and a disjoint derived `session-query.db`. Sessions from another project were not filtered out of the listing — they were absent from the store the listing reads. The JSONL backend already partitions per-cwd *inside* one root, so the partitioning was doubled: once by root, once within it.
+
+The picker then filtered again. It dropped records whose `cwd` differed from the current session before display, and `summarizeResumeCandidate` independently marked a differing `cwd` as `disabledReason: 'different workspace'`, so a foreign session that did reach the store was both hidden and refused.
+
+Finally, resume never changed directory. The host re-execs `dsh --resume=<id>` through `process.execve`, which inherits the cwd. Session *header* cwd is restored from the log, but process cwd is what `dsh-fs-local`, the bash executor, and glob/grep resolve against, so resuming a foreign session would have replayed its transcript while acting on the wrong project.
+
+## Decision
+
+The shared CLI configuration supplies one session root under the Harness home, the picker gains a workspace scope, and the handoff carries the target directory.
+
+**Storage.** The shared base owns the default in `apps/cli/config/base.cordis.yml`: its `session-persistence-jsonl` row resolves `sessions` beneath `DSH_HOME`, with the standard `~/.dsh` fallback when the environment has not been initialized. TUI, Web, and headless therefore consume one default without launcher patches or a boot slot. An overlay or personal patch that states an explicit root replaces that row's whole `config` and remains the deployment's authoritative choice.
+
+**Scope, not exclusion.** A workspace other than the current one is a display scope rather than a disabled reason. `showResume()` summarizes every record and the `ResumePicker` owns a `scope` of `'workspace' | 'all'`, defaulting to the current workspace so the common case is unchanged. Tab toggles; the scope line names the active scope and the count the other holds; each row in the all-workspaces scope reports its own workspace, and that label joins the searchable text only in the scope that shows it. A toggle clears the query and selection so the highlighted row always belongs to the visible list, and the per-row workspace line makes a row one terminal row taller in that scope, which the visible-count budget accounts for.
+
+`summarizeResumeCandidate` therefore drops `'different workspace'` and gains `'session has no recorded workspace'`. That is a real new refusal rather than a rename: a header without `cwd` names no directory for the host to enter, so it cannot be handed off even though its log is intact.
+
+**Handoff.** `TuiResumeHost.handoff` takes the target `cwd` beside the `SessionId`. `preflightResume` resolves both together and returns them, so the caller cannot re-derive a stale directory from the row it displayed — a record whose `cwd` moved between listing and preflight is resumed in the *re-read* directory, which is why the former "reject a moved cwd" behavior is now a handoff with the new path. The shipped host chdirs before disposing the app: an unreachable directory must reject while the caller can still restore the terminal, because after teardown no owner remains to report to. Resume always uses the default `dsh --resume` surface because `meta` rejects parent options; the handoff already enters the persisted target directory.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Patch `persistenceRoot` from the `dsh` launcher instead of changing the bundle default.** Rejected after finding that a loader patch assigns `config` wholesale. The personal `~/.dsh/config.yaml` overlay already patches the `tui-agent` row with a partial config, which is exactly why `persistenceRoot` was falling back to the bundle default in the first place; a launcher patch would either be erased by that overlay or have to win over it and make the overlay unable to set the field. Owning the default in the bundle survives any partial patch and keeps one home for the fact.
+
+**Keep `./.sessions` and additionally scan the Harness-home root.** Rejected: two roots means two SQLite indexes and a merged listing whose rows have different liveness and revision authorities, to preserve visibility of logs that the no-migration decision already gives up.
+
+**Migrate existing project-local logs into the shared root.** Rejected by the requester. Sessions under a project's `./.sessions` stay on disk and stay resumable by explicit `dsh --resume <id>` from that directory, but no longer appear in `/resume`.
+
+**One flat list of every workspace.** Rejected: it loses the "this project" default that the overwhelmingly common case wants, and in a busy home directory the current project's sessions would compete with unrelated ones.
+
+**Let the host infer the directory from the restored session header.** Rejected: the header is model- and prompt-facing state restored *after* boot, while the directory must be entered *before* `execve`. Passing it explicitly keeps the ordering visible at the seam.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Sessions already stored under a project-local `./.sessions` disappear from `/resume`. This is the accepted cost of no migration.
+- A resumed session can change the process's working directory, so a foreign resume is not a pure transcript restoration — every path-resolving tool moves with it.
+- The Harness home now holds session logs for every project on the machine. Its growth is no longer bounded by one checkout, and no retention policy is introduced here.
+
+## Testing
+
+TUI tests cover the default scope hiding other workspaces while reporting their count, Tab revealing them with per-row workspace labels, Tab back clearing the query and selection, searching by workspace label, a cwd-less record staying visible but disabled, and the handoff receiving both the id and the workspace re-read at preflight. The former "reject a moved cwd" case now asserts the handoff carries the new directory. Built CLI PTY tests exercise the shared config default and the per-process derived query index. The keyless TUI snapshot pins both scopes of the selector, including the scope line, the per-row workspace lines, and the Tab hint in the footer. A manual cross-workspace resume verified at the process level that the replacement's working directory became the target workspace.

+# Agent Note: 跨 workspace 会话恢复
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-28-cross-workspace-resume.md) | 中文
+
+## Problem
+
+`/resume` 只能触达在启动目录中创建的会话，因此要回到昨天在另一个项目里的工作，就得记住它的路径、退出 TUI、再到那里重新启动。造成这一限制的原因有两个，彼此独立，只修其中一个都不会有任何变化。
+
+存储是那个决定性的原因。已交付的 TUI 组合把持久化根默认成相对路径 `./.sessions`，于是每个启动目录都独占一份互不相交的 JSONL 根目录，以及一份互不相交的派生 `session-query.db`。来自另一个项目的会话并不是在列表中被过滤掉的——它们根本不存在于列表读取的存储中。JSONL 后端本来就会在*同一个*根目录*内部*按 cwd 分区，所以分区被叠加了两层：一层按根目录，一层在根目录内部。
+
+接着选择器又过滤了一次。它在展示前丢弃 `cwd` 与当前会话不同的记录，而 `summarizeResumeCandidate` 又独立地把不同的 `cwd` 标记为 `disabledReason: 'different workspace'`，于是一个确实进入了存储的外部会话既被隐藏，也会被拒绝。
+
+最后，恢复流程从不切换目录。宿主通过 `process.execve` 重新执行 `dsh --resume=<id>`，而它会继承 cwd。会话*头部*的 cwd 会从日志中还原，但 `dsh-fs-local`、bash 执行器以及 glob／grep 解析路径时依据的是进程 cwd，所以恢复一个外部会话会在回放它的 transcript（文本记录）的同时，作用到错误的项目上。
+
+## Decision
+
+共享 CLI 配置提供 Harness home 下的同一个会话根目录，选择器获得 workspace 范围，交接过程携带目标目录。
+
+**存储。** 共享 base 在 `apps/cli/config/base.cordis.yml` 中拥有默认值：其 `session-persistence-jsonl` 配置项把 `sessions` 解析到 `DSH_HOME` 下；环境尚未初始化时则使用标准的 `~/.dsh` 回退值。因此 TUI、Web 与 headless 使用同一个默认值，无需启动器补丁或启动槽位。若 overlay 或个人 patch 显式声明根目录，它会整体替换该配置项的 `config`，并继续作为部署的权威选择。
+
+**是范围，不是排除。** 当前 workspace 之外的 workspace 是一种展示范围，而不是禁用理由。`showResume()` 汇总每一条记录，`ResumePicker` 持有一个 `'workspace' | 'all'` 的 `scope`，默认为当前 workspace，因此常见场景毫无变化。Tab 切换范围；范围行会说明当前生效的范围，以及另一个范围下的数量；在全 workspace 范围中每一行都报告自己的 workspace，而该标签只在展示它的范围里才加入可搜索文本。切换范围会清空查询和选中项，使高亮行始终属于可见列表；而逐行的 workspace 行会让该范围下的每一行在终端里多占一行，可见条数预算已经把这一点计入。
+
+因此 `summarizeResumeCandidate` 去掉了 `'different workspace'`，并新增 `'session has no recorded workspace'`。这是一条真正新增的拒绝理由，而不是改名：没有 `cwd` 的头部没有指明任何目录供宿主进入，所以即便它的日志完好也无法完成交接。
+
+**交接。** `TuiResumeHost.handoff` 在 `SessionId` 之外还接收目标 `cwd`。`preflightResume` 把两者一起解析并一起返回，因此调用方无法从它展示过的那一行里重新推导出一个陈旧目录——在列表展示与预检之间 `cwd` 发生了移动的记录，会在*重新读取到的*目录中恢复，这也是原先「拒绝已移动的 cwd」的行为如今变成携带新路径完成交接的原因。已交付的宿主在释放应用之前切换目录：不可达的目录必须在调用方还能恢复终端时就拒绝，因为拆卸之后已经没有任何所有者可供汇报。恢复始终使用默认的 `dsh --resume` 界面，因为 `meta` 会拒绝父级选项；交接过程已经进入持久化保存的目标目录。
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**从 `dsh` 启动器给 `persistenceRoot` 打补丁，而不是改动组合包默认值。** 在发现 loader 补丁会整体赋值 `config` 之后否决。个人的 `~/.dsh/config.yaml` 覆盖层已经用一份局部配置给 `tui-agent` 那一项打了补丁，这恰恰就是 `persistenceRoot` 一开始会退回到组合包默认值的原因；启动器补丁要么会被该覆盖层擦除，要么必须压过它，从而让覆盖层再也无法设置这个字段。把默认值放在组合包里能经受任何局部补丁，并让这项事实只有一个归属。
+
+**保留 `./.sessions`，并额外扫描 Harness home 根目录。** 否决：两个根目录意味着两份 SQLite 索引，以及一份合并列表——其中各行的活跃状态与版本权威来源并不相同，而这一切只是为了保住不做迁移的决策本就已经放弃的那部分日志可见性。
+
+**把现有的项目本地日志迁移到共享根目录。** 被需求方否决。项目 `./.sessions` 下的会话仍留在磁盘上，从该目录显式执行 `dsh --resume <id>` 仍可恢复，只是不再出现在 `/resume` 中。
+
+**把所有 workspace 铺成一个扁平列表。** 否决：这会丢掉绝大多数场景想要的「本项目」默认值，而在一个繁忙的 home 目录里，当前项目的会话会和无关会话争夺注意力。
+
+**让宿主从还原后的会话头部推断目录。** 否决：会话头部是面向模型与提示词的状态，在启动*之后*才还原，而目录必须在 `execve` *之前*进入。显式传递它能让这个顺序在边界处保持可见。
+
+## Consequences
+
+- 已经存放在项目本地 `./.sessions` 下的会话会从 `/resume` 中消失。这是不做迁移所接受的代价。
+- 恢复一个会话可以改变进程的工作目录，因此恢复外部会话不是单纯的 transcript 还原——每个解析路径的工具都会随之移动。
+- Harness home 现在保存着这台机器上每个项目的会话日志。它的增长不再受单个 checkout 约束，而本记录也没有引入任何保留策略。
+
+## Testing
+
+TUI 测试覆盖默认范围隐藏其他 workspace 但报告其数量、Tab 显示它们并带上逐行 workspace 标签、再按 Tab 返回时清空查询与选中项、按 workspace 标签搜索、无 cwd 的记录仍可见但不可选，以及交接同时收到 id 和在预检时重新读取到的 workspace。原先「拒绝已移动的 cwd」的用例现在断言交接携带新目录。构建后的 CLI PTY 测试会运行共享配置默认值与每进程派生的查询索引。无密钥 TUI 快照固定选择器的两个范围，包括范围行、逐行 workspace 行，以及页脚中的 Tab 提示。手动执行的一次跨 workspace 恢复在进程层面验证了替换后进程的工作目录变为目标 workspace。

+# Agent Note: `dsh migrate`/`dsh upgrade` seed the first turn with a skill
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-28-dsh-guided-skill-session-commands.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+Two recurring flows begin with the user manually invoking one skill and answering its questions: migrating from another coding agent, and upgrading this checkout. Both require the user to know the skill exists and to type `/skill:dsh-migrate` or `/skill:dsh-upgrade` as the session's first turn. A dedicated entry command that drops the user straight into that guided session removes the discovery step.
+
+## Decision
+
+`dsh migrate` and `dsh upgrade` boot the ordinary TUI as a fresh session whose first turn auto-invokes a bundled skill (`dsh-migrate`, `dsh-upgrade`), exactly as if the user typed `/skill:<name>` and pressed Enter.
+
+The seed reuses the existing TUI skill path, not a new one. `createTuiChat` already has `invokeSkill(name, instructions)` — the code a typed `/skill:<name>` runs, including the "Unknown skill" notice. The launcher passes the skill name to the TUI through a new boot-context slot `INITIAL_SKILL_KEY` (`tuiInitialSkill`), mirroring `CONFIGURED_AGENT_IDENTITIES_KEY`/`TUI_GOODBYE_MESSAGE_KEY`: `ctx.provide` is the only channel from launcher argv into a Loader-mounted plugin. The TUI's `apply()` reads the slot and folds it into `config.initialSkill`; after `ui.start()` succeeds, `createTuiChat` fires `invokeSkill(config.initialSkill, '')` once when set.
+
+**Freshness is gated in the launcher, not the TUI.** `runSkillSession` always mints a fresh session and provides the slot only when `resumeSessionId === undefined`, so a later `dsh --resume <id>` of that session is an ordinary TUI session with no re-injection. The TUI stays generic: it invokes whatever skill it is handed, once, at startup.
+
+**`migrate`/`upgrade` take no options.** Unlike `meta`, they carry no `--resume`, `--config`, or `-p`; a guided fresh-session entry has nothing to resume or reconfigure. Any leaked default-surface option fails loud, matching the `web`/`meta` rejection pattern in the Commander adapter. The two modes share one `SkillSessionInvocation` discriminant (`mode: 'migrate' | 'upgrade'`); `bin.ts` maps the mode to `dsh-${mode}`.
+
+The `dsh-migrate` skill is bundled under `skills/` (shipped through `DSH_BUNDLED_SKILL_DIR`, like `dsh-upgrade`). It asks which source agent (opencode/pi/Claude Code/Codex) if unstated, then maps each capability — workspace instructions, personal overlay, skills, hooks, MCP, API/env — to its DSH equivalent, grounded in the actual repo surfaces (the `hooks-claude`/`hooks-codex` bridges, `~/.dsh/{config.yaml,.env,AGENTS.md,skills/}`, `AGENTS.md`/`CLAUDE.md`, `mcporter`), and states plainly when a capability has no equivalent.
+
+## Testing
+
+`apps/cli/tests/args.spec.ts` gains routing for `migrate`/`upgrade` (bare discriminant) and exit-1 for every leaked option on either side of each subcommand.
+
+`packages/ui/tui/tests/tui.spec.ts` gains two fake-terminal cases in the existing skill describe block: `config.initialSkill` set delivers the rendered skill body as the first turn with no user input, and an unknown initial skill reports a notice without sending. `runSkillSession` itself is composition inside the module's `v8 ignore` block, like `runTui`/`runMeta`.
+
+No keyless PTY snapshot: per the maintainer's scope call for this change, unit coverage plus interactive verification suffices, and the seed rides the already-snapshotted `/skill:` render path. Both commands were verified interactively in tmux from a scratch cwd: `dsh migrate` loaded `dsh-migrate` and asked which source agent; `dsh upgrade` loaded `dsh-upgrade`, which pulled in `dsh-customize` and began checkout discovery.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Prefill the input and let the user press Enter.** Rejected: needs a new editor-prefill seam and still requires a keystroke. Auto-submit reuses `invokeSkill` and delivers the intended one-command entry.
+
+**Seed a natural-language instruction ("use the dsh-migrate skill…") instead of `/skill:<name>`.** Rejected here: the literal skill-invocation path renders the skill body into the first turn deterministically, identical to the manual command, rather than depending on the model choosing to load the skill.
+
+**Support `--resume` on `migrate`/`upgrade`.** Rejected: these are one-shot guided entries. A resumed session is an ordinary TUI session reachable through the default surface's `dsh --resume <id>`; re-injecting the skill on resume would duplicate the first turn.
+
+**Read `INITIAL_SKILL_KEY` outside the TUI (as `CONFIGURED_AGENT_IDENTITIES_KEY` is read by `agent-loop`) rather than in the TUI's `apply()`.** Not needed: `initialSkill` is a TUI `Config` field consumed in `createTuiChat`, so folding the slot into config at the TUI entry keeps it beside the other launcher-owned runtime reads (`tuiResumeHost`, `tuiGoodbyeMessage`) and touches no other plugin.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Migrating or upgrading is one command from anywhere, with the guiding skill already invoked. The launcher→TUI initial-skill slot is reusable by any future guided-session command; the TUI's contract is "invoke this named skill once at startup," and freshness/resume policy stays with the launcher that owns session identity. The [TUI skill slash command](2026-07-21-tui-skill-slash-command.md) remains the mechanism; this note adds a launcher-driven auto-invocation of it and does not supersede it.

+# Agent Note：`dsh migrate`/`dsh upgrade` 以 skill 播种首轮
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-28-dsh-guided-skill-session-commands.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+有两个反复出现的流程都以用户手动调用某个 skill 并回答其问题开始：从其他编码 agent 迁移，以及升级本 checkout。二者都要求用户知道该 skill 存在，并把 `/skill:dsh-migrate` 或 `/skill:dsh-upgrade` 作为会话首轮键入。一个专用入口命令若能让用户直接进入该引导式会话，便可省去这一发现步骤。
+
+## 决策
+
+`dsh migrate` 与 `dsh upgrade` 以全新会话启动普通 TUI，其首轮自动调用一个内置 skill（`dsh-migrate`、`dsh-upgrade`），效果等同于用户键入 `/skill:<name>` 并回车。
+
+播种复用现有的 TUI skill 路径，而非新增一条。`createTuiChat` 已有 `invokeSkill(name, instructions)`——即键入 `/skill:<name>` 所走的代码，包含“未知 skill”通知。启动器通过一个新的启动上下文槽 `INITIAL_SKILL_KEY`（`tuiInitialSkill`）把 skill 名称传给 TUI，与 `CONFIGURED_AGENT_IDENTITIES_KEY`/`TUI_GOODBYE_MESSAGE_KEY` 一致：`ctx.provide` 是从启动器 argv 进入 Loader 挂载插件的唯一通道。TUI 的 `apply()` 读取该槽并折叠进 `config.initialSkill`；`ui.start()` 成功后，`createTuiChat` 在其被设置时调用一次 `invokeSkill(config.initialSkill, '')`。
+
+**新鲜性在启动器而非 TUI 中把关。** `runSkillSession` 总是创建全新会话，且仅在 `resumeSessionId === undefined` 时提供该槽，因此之后 `dsh --resume <id>` 恢复该会话时是普通 TUI 会话，不会重复注入。TUI 保持通用：它只是把接到的 skill 在启动时调用一次。
+
+**`migrate`/`upgrade` 不接受任何选项。** 与 `meta` 不同，它们不带 `--resume`、`--config` 或 `-p`；引导式全新会话入口没有可恢复或可重配置的内容。任何泄漏的默认界面选项都会明确报错，与 Commander 适配器中 `web`/`meta` 的拒绝模式一致。两个 mode 共用一个 `SkillSessionInvocation` 判别式（`mode: 'migrate' | 'upgrade'`）；`bin.ts` 将 mode 映射为 `dsh-${mode}`。
+
+`dsh-migrate` skill 内置于 `skills/`（经 `DSH_BUNDLED_SKILL_DIR` 交付，与 `dsh-upgrade` 相同）。若未说明源 agent，它会先询问是哪个（opencode/pi/Claude Code/Codex），再把每项能力——workspace 指令、个人覆盖、skills、hooks、MCP、API/env——映射到对应的 DSH 等价物，并基于仓库实际的表面（`hooks-claude`/`hooks-codex` 桥、`~/.dsh/{config.yaml,.env,AGENTS.md,skills/}`、`AGENTS.md`/`CLAUDE.md`、`mcporter`）落地；当某能力无等价物时明确说明。
+
+## 测试
+
+`apps/cli/tests/args.spec.ts` 新增 `migrate`/`upgrade` 的路由（裸判别式），以及每个子命令两侧任一泄漏选项的退出码 1。
+
+`packages/ui/tui/tests/tui.spec.ts` 在既有 skill describe 块中新增两个伪终端用例：设置 `config.initialSkill` 时无需用户输入即把渲染后的 skill 正文作为首轮投递；未知的初始 skill 以通知形式报告且不发送。`runSkillSession` 本身是模块 `v8 ignore` 块内的组装，与 `runTui`/`runMeta` 相同。
+
+无 keyless PTY 快照：依据维护者对本次改动的范围裁定，单元覆盖加交互式验证已足够，且播种走的是已有快照的 `/skill:` 渲染路径。两个命令均已在 tmux 中从临时 cwd 交互式验证：`dsh migrate` 加载 `dsh-migrate` 并询问源 agent；`dsh upgrade` 加载 `dsh-upgrade`，后者引入 `dsh-customize` 并开始 checkout 发现。
+
+## 考虑过的替代方案
+
+**预填输入框并让用户按回车。** 已否决：需要新增编辑器预填 seam，且仍需一次按键。自动提交复用 `invokeSkill`，实现预期的一命令入口。
+
+**播种自然语言指令（“使用 dsh-migrate skill……”）而非 `/skill:<name>`。** 在此否决：字面 skill 调用路径会确定性地把 skill 正文渲染进首轮，与手动命令完全一致，而不依赖模型自行选择加载该 skill。
+
+**在 `migrate`/`upgrade` 上支持 `--resume`。** 已否决：它们是一次性引导入口。恢复的会话是可经默认界面 `dsh --resume <id>` 到达的普通 TUI 会话；恢复时重新注入 skill 会重复首轮。
+
+**在 TUI 之外读取 `INITIAL_SKILL_KEY`（如同 `agent-loop` 读取 `CONFIGURED_AGENT_IDENTITIES_KEY` 那样），而非在 TUI 的 `apply()` 中。** 无此必要：`initialSkill` 是在 `createTuiChat` 中消费的 TUI `Config` 字段，因此在 TUI 入口处把该槽位折叠进配置，可以让它与其他由启动器持有的运行时读取（`tuiResumeHost`、`tuiGoodbyeMessage`）并列，且不触及任何其他插件。
+
+## 后果
+
+迁移或升级从任何位置都只需一条命令，且引导 skill 已被调用。启动器→TUI 的初始 skill 槽可被未来任何引导式会话命令复用；TUI 的契约是“在启动时调用一次这个具名 skill”，而新鲜性/恢复策略留在拥有会话身份的启动器一侧。[TUI skill 斜杠命令](2026-07-21-tui-skill-slash-command.md)仍是该机制；本 note 在其之上新增了一个由启动器驱动的自动调用，并未取代它。

+# Agent Note: `dsh meta` boots the TUI over the harness checkout
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-28-dsh-meta-source-workspace.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+`dsh` treats the invoking directory as the workspace, which is what makes it useful on arbitrary projects. Working on dsh itself therefore means `cd`-ing to the checkout first — and the checkout is not a memorable path: the source install keeps it under a container directory as a timestamped staging worktree (`~/.dsh/source/staging-<timestamp>`) behind a `current` symlink, so the target moves on every upgrade. The agent is already *told* where its source lives by the `harness:source` prompt section, and the `cordis` toolset can modify that runtime, but the human still had to locate the directory by hand to start a session there.
+
+## Decision
+
+`dsh meta` boots the ordinary TUI with the harness checkout as the workspace, from any directory.
+
+The target is `SOURCE_ROOT` in `apps/cli/src/tui.ts` — `fileURLToPath(new URL('../../..', import.meta.url))`, three hops up from `apps/cli/{src,lib}` — the same constant the `harness:source` prompt section already names, so the workspace and the path advertised to the model cannot drift. It follows the launcher's real path, so a PATH symlink through `current` resolves to whichever staging worktree is active.
+
+The mechanism is one `process.chdir(workspace)` inside `runTui`, guarded by a new optional third parameter that only `runMeta` passes. The cwd *is* the workspace seam in the shipped tree: `examples/tui-agent/cordis.yml` derives the session cwd (`!!js process.cwd()`), the `./.sessions` persistence root, and the HMR watch root (`root: ['.']`) from it, so one chdir moves all three together and meta sessions land in the checkout's gitignored `.sessions/`. It runs after both `.env` layers are loaded — the bin's invoking-directory load and the personal one — so the ambient > project > personal precedence is untouched. `DEFAULT_CONFIG` and `SOURCE_ROOT` are absolute and TUI mode passes no snapshot mode, so config resolution is chdir-independent.
+
+`meta` accepts only `--resume <id>`. `--config` would boot a foreign tree against the harness workspace, which is the `--config` case rather than this one; `-p` is not interactive. Both fail loud, as does an empty `--resume=` — matching the default surface, where a swallowed empty id would silently start a fresh session.
+
+**`meta` does not redeclare `--resume`.** Commander parses an option a subcommand shares with its parent into `program.opts()` and leaves the subcommand's own options object empty, so redeclaring it silently dropped the id (found by probing the adapter, not by review). The action reads `program.opts()`, which also accepts the flag on either side of the subcommand; `--help` still lists it among the parent's options.
+
+## Testing
+
+`apps/cli/tests/args.spec.ts` extends its two existing cases rather than adding a file: routing for `meta`, `meta --resume <id>`, and `--resume <id> meta` (pinning the shared-option behavior above), and exit-1 for `meta --resume=`, `meta --config`, and `meta -p`. `runMeta` itself is composition inside the module's existing `v8 ignore` block, like `runTui`.
+
+There is no keyless PTY smoke for this mode. The smoke harness gives each run a temp cwd, but `dsh meta` deliberately chdirs to the real checkout, so a smoke would write `.sessions/` into the live tree mid-test. Covering it properly needs an injectable target directory — a test-only seam this note declines to add for a one-line chdir.
+
+The mode was verified interactively instead. Launched from `$HOME`, a `pwd` tool call reports the checkout, git resolves to its branch, the session log lands under the checkout's `.sessions/` (leaving `~/.sessions` untouched and the tree free of unignored residue), and plain `dsh` from another directory still uses the invoking one.
+
+`dsh meta --resume <valid-id>` once started a *fresh* session instead of resuming — a pre-existing defect on the default surface, not one this mode introduced. [Launcher-owned resume identity](../architecture/2026-07-28-launcher-owned-resume-identity.md) found the cause and fixed it: a personal overlay had replaced the whole `tui-agent` config block, overwriting the shipped `resumeSessionId` intake with a read of an unset environment variable, so a valid id was silently ignored. Session identity is now a launcher-owned context slot that no config key can displace, and `meta` routes through it.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Thread an explicit workspace through `boot` and the config tree.** Avoids mutating process-wide state, but the shipped config reads the cwd in three places (`!!js process.cwd()`, `persistenceRoot`, HMR `root`), so each would need its own new plumbing and config key to stay consistent. `chdir` before boot expresses "this is the workspace" once, at the seam that already means it.
+
+**A `--meta` flag on the default surface.** Rejected: the default surface is option-only so that subcommands do not collide with a positional, and a flag that silently relocates the workspace reads as a modifier of the current directory rather than a different target. `meta` alongside `web` matches the existing shape.
+
+**Resolve `~/.dsh/source/current` instead of the launcher's own path.** Rejected: it would diverge from the `harness:source` prompt path whenever a non-installed checkout's `bin/dsh` is invoked directly, telling the model one source root while working in another.
+
+**Make the printed resume hint mode-aware.** Deferred here as a known cost, then delivered by [launcher-owned resume identity](../architecture/2026-07-28-launcher-owned-resume-identity.md): the exit line became a launcher-provided context slot, so meta mode prints `dsh meta --resume <id>` and a copied hint works from any directory. It previously came from static config as `dsh --resume {session}` and only worked when re-run from the checkout.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Starting a session on dsh's own source is `dsh meta` from anywhere, and the workspace is guaranteed to be the same checkout the model is told about. Meta sessions are isolated in the checkout's `.sessions/`, so `dsh meta --resume` sees only other meta sessions — intended, since a session's logged cwd belongs to its workspace.
+
+The resume hint was this mode's original cost and is now resolved. [Launcher-owned resume identity](../architecture/2026-07-28-launcher-owned-resume-identity.md) made both the printed line and the in-place `/resume` handoff reproduce the mode as `dsh meta --resume <id>` from one shared argv helper, so a copied hint works from any directory and the handoff no longer depends implicitly on `execve` preserving the process cwd.
+
+`runTui` gains an optional third parameter, so the workspace override is visible at the one function that owns TUI composition rather than hidden in a second copy of it.

+# Agent Note：`dsh meta` 以 harness 检出为 workspace 启动 TUI
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-28-dsh-meta-source-workspace.md) | 中文
+
+## Problem
+
+`dsh` 把调用目录视为 workspace，这正是它能作用于任意项目的原因。但因此，开发 dsh 自身就得先 `cd` 到检出目录——而该目录并不是一个好记的路径：源码安装会把它放在一个容器目录下、作为带时间戳的 staging 工作树（`~/.dsh/source/staging-<timestamp>`），并由 `current` 符号链接指向，因此每次升级后目标都会变化。`harness:source` 提示词段已经*告知* agent 其源码位置，`cordis` 工具集也能修改该运行时，但人类仍需手工定位该目录才能在其中开始会话。
+
+## Decision
+
+`dsh meta` 在任意目录下都以 harness 检出为 workspace 启动普通 TUI。
+
+目标是 `apps/cli/src/tui.ts` 中的 `SOURCE_ROOT`——`fileURLToPath(new URL('../../..', import.meta.url))`，从 `apps/cli/{src,lib}` 向上三级——与 `harness:source` 提示词段所用的常量完全相同，因此 workspace 与告知模型的路径不可能发生偏离。它跟随启动器的真实路径，所以经由 `current` 的 PATH 符号链接会解析到当前生效的那个 staging 工作树。
+
+机制是 `runTui` 内的一次 `process.chdir(workspace)`，由一个新的可选第三参数把守，只有 `runMeta` 会传入。在已交付的配置树中，cwd *就是* workspace 的接缝：`examples/tui-agent/cordis.yml` 由它派生出会话 cwd（`!!js process.cwd()`）、`./.sessions` 持久化根目录以及 HMR 监视根目录（`root: ['.']`），因此一次 chdir 会让三者一并移动，meta 会话则落在检出目录中被 gitignore 的 `.sessions/` 内。它在两层 `.env` 都加载之后执行——bin 对调用目录的加载与个人层加载——因此“环境中已有的值 > 项目 > 个人”的优先级不受影响。`DEFAULT_CONFIG` 与 `SOURCE_ROOT` 都是绝对路径，且 TUI 模式不传 snapshot mode，所以配置解析与 chdir 无关。
+
+`meta` 只接受 `--resume <id>`。`--config` 会以 harness workspace 启动其他配置树，那属于 `--config` 的场景而非本场景；`-p` 并非交互式。两者都会明确报错，空的 `--resume=` 亦然——与默认界面一致，在那里被吞掉的空 id 会静默开启一个新会话。
+
+**`meta` 不重新声明 `--resume`。** 对于子命令与父命令共享的选项，Commander 会将其解析进 `program.opts()`，而把子命令自身的 options 对象留空；因此重新声明会静默丢弃该 id（这是通过实测适配器发现的，而非评审发现）。action 读取 `program.opts()`，这同时也允许该标志出现在子命令的任意一侧；`--help` 仍会在父命令的选项中列出它。
+
+## Testing
+
+`apps/cli/tests/args.spec.ts` 扩展其已有的两个用例而非新增文件：`meta`、`meta --resume <id>` 与 `--resume <id> meta` 的路由（钉住上述共享选项行为），以及 `meta --resume=`、`meta --config`、`meta -p` 的退出码 1。`runMeta` 自身与 `runTui` 一样，属于该模块既有 `v8 ignore` 块内的组合代码。
+
+该 mode 没有 keyless PTY 冒烟测试。冒烟框架会为每次运行提供临时 cwd，但 `dsh meta` 刻意 chdir 到真实检出目录，因此冒烟测试会在测试中途把 `.sessions/` 写入实际工作树。要正确覆盖它需要一个可注入的目标目录——为了一行 chdir 而引入的测试专用 seam，本 note 不予采纳。
+
+取而代之的是交互式验证。从 `$HOME` 启动后，`pwd` 工具调用报告的是该检出目录，git 解析到其分支，会话日志落在该检出的 `.sessions/` 下（`~/.sessions` 未被触及，工作树也没有未被忽略的残留），并且从其他目录运行的普通 `dsh` 仍使用调用目录。
+
+`dsh meta --resume <有效 id>` 曾经开启一个*新*会话而非恢复——这是默认界面上既已存在的缺陷，并非本 mode 引入。[由启动器持有的会话身份与退出行](../architecture/2026-07-28-launcher-owned-resume-identity.md) 查明了原因并将其修复：一个个人 overlay 替换了整个 `tui-agent` 配置块，用对一个未设置的环境变量的读取覆盖了已交付的 `resumeSessionId` 入口，因此有效的 id 会被静默忽略。会话标识如今是一个启动器拥有的上下文槽位，没有任何配置键能取代它，而 `meta` 经由它进行路由。
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**通过 `boot` 与配置树显式传递 workspace。** 这可避免修改进程级状态，但已交付的配置在三处读取 cwd（`!!js process.cwd()`、`persistenceRoot`、HMR `root`），每一处都需要各自新增管线与配置键才能保持一致。启动前 chdir 只在本就表达该含义的接缝上表达一次“这就是 workspace”。
+
+**在默认界面上加一个 `--meta` 标志。** 拒绝：默认界面是纯选项形式，以免子命令与位置参数冲突；而一个会静默改变 workspace 的标志读起来像是对当前目录的修饰，而非另一个目标。`meta` 与 `web` 并列符合既有形态。
+
+**解析 `~/.dsh/source/current` 而非启动器自身路径。** 拒绝：当直接调用某个非安装检出的 `bin/dsh` 时，它会与 `harness:source` 提示词路径产生偏离——告知模型一个源码根目录，却在另一个目录中工作。
+
+**让打印的恢复提示随 mode 变化。** 在此作为已知代价推迟，随后由 [由启动器持有的会话身份与退出行](../architecture/2026-07-28-launcher-owned-resume-identity.md) 交付：退出行变成了一个启动器提供的上下文槽位，因此 meta 模式打印 `dsh meta --resume <id>`，被复制的提示在任意目录下都有效。它此前来自静态配置，固定为 `dsh --resume {session}`，且只有在检出目录中重新运行才有效。
+
+## Consequences
+
+在 dsh 自身源码上开启会话变成了在任意位置执行 `dsh meta`，且该 workspace 必然就是告知模型的那个检出目录。meta 会话被隔离在检出目录的 `.sessions/` 内，因此 `dsh meta --resume` 只能看到其他 meta 会话——这是预期行为，因为会话记录的 cwd 属于它的 workspace。
+
+恢复提示曾是本 mode 的原初代价，如今已解决。[由启动器持有的会话身份与退出行](../architecture/2026-07-28-launcher-owned-resume-identity.md) 让打印的行与原地 `/resume` 移交都从同一个共享的 argv 辅助函数将该 mode 复现为 `dsh meta --resume <id>`，因此被复制的提示在任意目录下都有效，且移交不再隐式依赖于 `execve` 保留进程 cwd。
+
+`runTui` 新增一个可选第三参数，因此 workspace 覆盖是在拥有 TUI 组合逻辑的那唯一一个函数上可见的，而不是隐藏在它的第二份副本中。

+# Agent Note: Address pending queue occurrences for edit and removal
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-29-addressable-queue-operations.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+The Web queue rendered pending messages but could not edit or delete one row. `MessageId` was insufficient as an address because callers may enqueue the same immutable message more than once. The browser also inferred queue retirement from turn and status events, so a row operation racing with driver claim had no authoritative outcome.
+
+## Decision
+
+**Each accepted FIFO occurrence has its own identity.** AgentLoop mints an opaque `InboxItemId` and publishes an `InboxItem` containing that id, the identified `UserMessage`, and its acceptance-time `queued | steering` placement. Reusing one `MessageId` creates distinct inbox identities. Injection bypasses the FIFOs and receives no inbox identity.
+
+**Mutation ends at driver claim.** `Agent.updateInbox(id, action)` synchronously searches the pending queued FIFO. Edit replaces frozen content while preserving `InboxItemId`, `MessageId`, source, wake policy, and position. Remove emits the occurrence’s terminal discard. Steering and driver-claimed occurrences return `not-found`, so queue operations never rewrite active-turn input or durable history.
+
+**The live ledger is authoritative.** `agent/inbox/enqueue`, `update`, `dequeue`, and `discard` maintain a Host mirror of queued occurrences. A synchronously re-entrant update or terminal event may reach the mirror before its outer enqueue listener; the mirror retains that unseen outcome for the current dispatch and folds it into the enqueue, so listener registration order cannot publish stale content or a ghost row. The wire sends complete `session/queue` snapshots rather than incremental guesses. Reconnect sends the current baseline, and every queued mutation or terminal event replaces it. The client applies no optimistic edit and never retires a row from durable turn events or status changes.
+
+**Queue addresses require a live Agent.** `session.updateQueue` queries only the mounted Agent registry and never resumes a cold session: an `InboxItemId` is process-local and cannot name work after restart or disposal. A missing Agent and a driver-claimed occurrence both return `queue-item-not-found`.
+
+**Web actions address Queue only.** The Host excludes pending steering from `session/queue`; steering retains its existing durable transcript path after consumption. QueueDock hides while empty, renders one pending occurrence directly, and defaults two or more occurrences to a collapsed `"<n> 条排队消息"` header that expands or collapses the complete list. The header exposes `aria-expanded` and `aria-controls`; the expanded list scrolls within a 180px height bound. An active edit or mutation keeps its rows visible, and emptying the queue restores the collapsed default for the next queue. Visible rows expose edit and delete, but no send-now control. The UI derives queue row and mutation types from the runtime `SessionFace` contract rather than importing the connection plugin, so plugin cooperation continues through services and snapshots. Edit is available only when all content blocks are text; the editor cannot silently drop non-text blocks. An editing row exposes only save and cancel, with Enter and Escape as their keyboard equivalents. Delete removes the exact occurrence.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Address rows by `MessageId`.** Rejected because one immutable message may be sent repeatedly; editing or deleting by message identity would affect an ambiguous occurrence.
+
+**Apply optimistic browser mutations.** Rejected because driver claim and another client can win before the Host action. Waiting for the authoritative snapshot makes the ownership boundary visible and lets `queue-item-not-found` report a real race.
+
+**Include pending steering in the queue mutation protocol.** Rejected because QueueDock has no steering interaction, and editing or deleting active-turn input would widen this feature beyond its current consumer. A dedicated steering interaction owns that delivery contract.
+
+**Expose a protocol-only promotion operation.** Rejected because no product interaction reorders Queue. A public operation without a current consumer would add ordering semantics and tests for speculative use.
+
+**Resume a cold Agent for a queue operation.** Rejected because durable session identity does not preserve the process-local inbox capability. Resuming can only produce `not-found` after creating unrelated live state.
+
+## Verification
+
+AgentLoop contract tests hold prompt admission while editing and removing exact queued occurrences, reject mutations of steering occurrences, and verify the resulting independent turn and terminal lifecycle events. Host schema and proxy tests cover queued-only authoritative snapshots, synchronous re-entrant mutation order, reconnect, cold-Agent rejection, typed not-found errors, and the RPC transport. Client runtime and QueueDock tests cover non-optimistic projection, single-row presentation, default multi-row collapse, interaction-forced visibility, reset after emptying, expansion, text-only editing, save and cancel affordances, removal, retirement races, and disabled mixed-content editing. Keyless browser scenarios capture the default collapsed header before expanding the queue and driving its exposed edit and delete actions through the built Web composition and real HTTP/SSE wire.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Queued work gains precise row operations without becoming durable session history. Occurrence identity is a live process-local capability and disappears at claim, cancellation, disposal, or restart; reconnect recovers only queued items still held by the live Agent. Editing excludes mixed content until an editor can preserve every block, while pending steering remains outside this operation surface.
+
+The protocol now carries full queue snapshots on each change. Queues are expected to remain short, so deterministic recovery and multi-client convergence are preferred over an incremental mutation protocol.

+# Agent Note（agent 决策记录）：为待处理队列项提供编辑与移除操作
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-29-addressable-queue-operations.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+Web 队列能够渲染待处理消息，但无法编辑或删除其中某一行。`MessageId` 不足以充当寻址标识，因为调用方可以多次将同一条不可变消息加入队列。浏览器还会根据轮次和状态事件推断队列项已退役，因此当行操作与驱动器认领发生竞态时，系统无法给出权威结果。
+
+## 决策
+
+**每次获准进入 FIFO 的项都有独立标识。** AgentLoop 会铸造不透明的 `InboxItemId`，并发布一个 `InboxItem`，其中包含该 id、已有标识的 `UserMessage`，以及接受时确定的 `queued | steering` 放置方式。复用同一个 `MessageId` 会创建不同的 inbox 标识。注入绕过 FIFO，因此不会获得 inbox 标识。
+
+**变更边界止于驱动器认领。** `Agent.updateInbox(id, action)` 会同步搜索待处理的 queued FIFO。编辑会替换已冻结的内容，同时保留 `InboxItemId`、`MessageId`、来源、唤醒策略和位置。移除会发出该次入队项的终态 discard。steering（中途引导）项和已被驱动器认领的项会返回 `not-found`，因此队列操作绝不会改写活动轮次输入或持久历史。
+
+**实时账本是权威状态。** `agent/inbox/enqueue`、`update`、`dequeue` 和 `discard` 共同维护 queued 入队项的 Host 镜像。同步可重入的 update 或终态事件可能先于外层 enqueue 监听器到达镜像；镜像会在当前分发期间保留这一尚不可见的结果，并在处理 enqueue 时把它合并进去，因此监听器注册顺序不会导致系统发布陈旧内容或不存在的行。协议发送完整的 `session/queue` 快照，而非增量猜测。重连会发送当前基线，每次 queued 变更或终态事件都会整体替换它。客户端不会进行乐观编辑，也绝不根据持久轮次事件或状态变化退役队列行。
+
+**Queue 寻址要求 Agent 存活。** `session.updateQueue` 只查询已挂载的 Agent 注册表，绝不恢复冷会话：`InboxItemId` 属于进程本地标识，无法在重启或资源释放后继续指向工作。Agent 缺失和单次入队项已被驱动器认领这两种情况都返回 `queue-item-not-found`。
+
+**Web 操作只面向 Queue。** Host 从 `session/queue` 中排除待处理 steering；steering 消费后仍沿用既有的持久 transcript（文本记录）路径。QueueDock 在队列为空时隐藏，只有一个待处理项时直接渲染该行，存在两个或更多待处理项时则默认收起为可展开或收起完整列表的 `"<n> 条排队消息"` 表头。表头暴露 `aria-expanded` 和 `aria-controls`；展开后的列表以 180px 为高度上限，并可滚动。存在进行中的编辑或变更时，列表行会保持可见；队列清空后，下一次出现队列时会恢复默认收起状态。可见行暴露编辑和删除操作，不提供立即发送控件。UI 从运行时 `SessionFace` 契约派生队列行与变更类型，而不是导入连接插件，因此插件仍通过服务和快照协作。仅当所有内容块都是文本时才提供编辑功能；编辑器不能静默丢弃非文本块。编辑中的行只展示保存和取消操作，对应的键盘操作分别是 Enter 和 Escape。删除会移除对应的精确入队项。
+
+## 考虑过的替代方案
+
+**通过 `MessageId` 寻址行。** 不予采纳，因为同一条不可变消息可以重复发送；按消息标识编辑或删除会无法确定应操作哪一次入队。
+
+**在浏览器中进行乐观变更。** 不予采纳，因为驱动器认领或另一个客户端可能先于 Host 操作完成。等待权威快照可以显式呈现所有权边界，并让 `queue-item-not-found` 报告真实竞态。
+
+**将待处理 steering 纳入队列变更协议。** 不予采纳，因为 QueueDock 没有 steering 交互，而编辑或删除活动轮次输入会把此功能扩展到当前消费方之外。应由专用 steering 交互负责该投递契约。
+
+**暴露仅协议层的前移操作。** 不予采纳，因为当前没有产品交互会重新排序 Queue。公开一个没有当前消费方的操作，会为了推测性用途引入排序语义和测试。
+
+**为队列操作恢复冷 Agent。** 不予采纳，因为持久会话标识不会保留进程本地的 inbox 寻址凭据。恢复只能在创建无关的实时状态后得到 `not-found`。
+
+## 验证
+
+AgentLoop 契约测试会在编辑和移除精确 queued 入队项时阻塞提示词接纳，拒绝对 steering 入队项的变更，并验证所得独立轮次及终态生命周期事件。Host schema 与代理测试覆盖仅含 queued 项的权威快照、同步可重入变更顺序、重连、拒绝冷 Agent、类型化 not-found 错误和 RPC 传输。客户端运行时和 QueueDock 测试覆盖非乐观投影、单行呈现、多行默认收起、交互期间强制保持可见、清空后重置、展开、仅文本编辑、保存与取消入口、移除、退役竞态，以及禁用混合内容编辑。无密钥浏览器场景会先捕获默认收起的表头，再展开队列，并通过构建后的 Web 组合和真实 HTTP／SSE 协议操作其公开的编辑和删除。
+
+## 后果
+
+queued 工作获得精确的行操作，但不会因此成为持久会话历史。单次入队标识是进程本地的实时寻址凭据，会在认领、取消、dispose 或重启时消失；重连只能恢复仍由活跃 Agent 持有的 queued 项。编辑会排除混合内容，直至编辑器能够保留每个块；待处理 steering 则不属于此操作接口。
+
+现在，协议会在每次变更时携带完整队列快照。队列预期保持较短，因此系统优先选择确定性恢复和多客户端收敛，而非增量变更协议。

+# Agent Note: Ask-question Web presentation
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-29-ask-question-web-presentation.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+The Web GUI could already collect answers through the `QuestionComposer` composer takeover, but the transcript around it was wrong on three counts. A pending question rendered twice: once as the composer takeover and once as the read-only `PendingCard` placeholder that predates the takeover. A settled `ask_user_question` call rendered as the generic "Tool call" row dumping raw args JSON, so the two composer verdicts — the user dismissing the whole set (`ASK_CANCELLED`) and a turn interrupt landing while the question was pending (`ASK_ABORTED`) — both read as anonymous red-dot failures. And the composer's own chrome copy (pager, buttons, placeholders, validation feedback) was hardcoded Chinese while the surrounding client is bilingual through `dsh-client-locale`.
+
+Separately, the composer visuals had drifted from the current design: an expand-to-open custom answer entry, no multi-select affordance beyond a trailing check, header-mounted paging, and a `（可多选）` title-suffix convention parsed out of model text.
+
+## Decision
+
+A pending question owns exactly two surfaces: the composer takeover collects the answers, and a dedicated `ask_user_question` toolview row in the transcript names the interaction outcome. The row registers into the keyed `conversation.chat.toolview` hole exactly like `todo_write` and composes the shared `ToolRow` (chrome, running sweep, leading expansion). Its summary is the interaction verdict rather than args: `waiting` while running, `N/M answered` from the result JSON once settled (a skipped answer — empty `selected`, no `custom` — stays out of the count), `cancelled` for `ASK_CANCELLED`, and `interrupted` with the shared amber stopped semantics for `ASK_ABORTED`. Malformed or truncated results fall back to the generic summary. `PendingCard` narrows to `PendingWait<'approval'>` and `ChatView` filters the pending list to approval waits, so the placeholder card now exists only for the approval takeover still on the roadmap.
+
+The composer redesign moves paging into the footer next to the actions, renders multi-select options with explicit checkboxes, keeps single-select numbered rows, and replaces the expand-to-open custom entry with an always-visible custom input row (textarea for optionless questions). The `parseQuestionTitle` multi-select suffix convention is deleted; `multi_select` is already structured metadata, so the title renders verbatim.
+
+Composer chrome copy becomes bilingual: the plugin registers zh/en dictionaries under the `question` namespace of `dsh-client-locale` and hands the entry a namespace-bound translator plus the locale snapshot as a hooks-compartment source through the slot inject face, so a locale flip re-renders a mounted composer. Validation feedback is stored as a dictionary key and re-translated on flip; carrier failure messages and all model-authored question/option text render verbatim.
+
+Two adjacent fixes ride along. All generic toolview leading icons (and the hover chevron) now inherit the single tertiary label color — the others-variant secondary override and the separate chevron color rule are deleted, leaving only the intentional cordis business-primary accent. And the client dev-watch bundler registers each CSS module with `addWatchFile`, because the virtual-module indirection previously hid css-only edits from the watcher.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Keep rendering questions through `PendingCard`.** Rejected: the card was a read-only placeholder from before the takeover existed, so a pending question showed the same content twice with one copy not answerable. The toolview row plus takeover covers both the transcript record and the collection surface.
+
+**Show the questions or answers inline in the transcript row.** Rejected: the composer takeover owns question rendering and answer collection, and the row convention (`todo_write`) is one line with details in the panel. The row therefore reports only the outcome, mirroring how the todo row reports counts while the panel owns the list.
+
+**Render `ASK_CANCELLED`/`ASK_ABORTED` through the generic error shape.** Rejected: dismissal is the user's own deliberate action and an interrupt is the shared stop gesture; both are expected outcomes, not tool failures. Naming the verdict (and keeping amber stopped semantics for the abort) matches how interrupted tool calls read elsewhere.
+
+**Translate the row verdicts now.** Deferred by explicit product decision: the row's `waiting`/`answered`/`cancelled`/`interrupted` strings stay English for this change; the composer chrome i18n landed because its Chinese-only copy was already wrong for the en locale.
+
+**Keep the title-suffix multi-select convention.** Rejected: `multi_select` is structured request metadata and the checkbox affordance now carries the signal, so parsing `（可多选）` out of model text was a fragile duplicate channel.
+
+## Consequences
+
+`ask_user_question` and `todo_write` now demonstrate the intended toolview pattern: compose `ToolRow`, summarize from call args or result JSON with shape-checked fallbacks, and register through the keyed slot. The bespoke `todo-row.module.css` is gone.
+
+The row verdict strings are the one remaining hardcoded-English surface of the question flow; localizing them is deferred follow-up. `PendingCard` remains a visible-but-not-answerable approval placeholder until the approval composer takeover ships.
+
+`ui-question` gains a `dsh-client-locale` dependency and an inject face where it previously had none; its contract (`QuestionComposerInjected`) lives with the consumer in `contract/slots.ts`.
+
+## Verification
+
+`ui-conversation` tests pin the row's waiting/answered/skipped/cancelled/interrupted/fallback matrix, the approval-only pending filter, and the slot registration; `ui-question` tests pin the redesigned composer (checkbox multi-select, always-visible custom row, footer pager, dictionary-key feedback re-translation, IME-safe Enter) and the plugin's dictionary registration plus inject face; `ui-primitives` tests pin the icon set. The assembled Web GUI was exercised against a live session covering answer, cancel, and turn-interrupt paths.

+# Agent Note：Ask-question Web 呈现
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-29-ask-question-web-presentation.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+Web GUI 已经可以通过 `QuestionComposer` 的输入区接管收集回答，但其周边的会话记录呈现在三个方面是错的。待回答的问题会渲染两次：一次是输入区接管，一次是早于接管存在的只读 `PendingCard` 占位卡片。已结算的 `ask_user_question` 调用渲染为通用 "Tool call" 行并直接倾倒原始 args JSON，因此两种输入区裁决 —— 用户放弃整组问题（`ASK_CANCELLED`）与问题待回答期间轮次被打断（`ASK_ABORTED`）—— 都显示为无名的红点失败。而且输入区自身的界面文案（分页、按钮、占位符、校验反馈）是硬编码中文，而周边客户端已通过 `dsh-client-locale` 实现双语。
+
+另外，输入区视觉也偏离了当前设计：自定义回答需展开才能输入、多选除尾部对勾外没有可见标识、分页挂在头部、还有从模型文本里解析 `（可多选）` 标题后缀的约定。
+
+## 决定
+
+一个待回答的问题恰好拥有两个界面：输入区接管收集回答，会话记录中一个专门的 `ask_user_question` toolview 行陈述交互结果。该行与 `todo_write` 完全一样注册进带 key 的 `conversation.chat.toolview` 槽位，并复用共享的 `ToolRow`（外观、运行扫光、前导展开）。其摘要是交互裁决而非参数：运行中显示 `waiting`，结算后从结果 JSON 得出 `N/M answered`（被跳过的回答 —— `selected` 为空且无 `custom` —— 不计入），`ASK_CANCELLED` 显示 `cancelled`，`ASK_ABORTED` 显示 `interrupted` 并沿用共享的琥珀色 stopped 语义。畸形或截断的结果回退到通用摘要。`PendingCard` 收窄为 `PendingWait<'approval'>`，`ChatView` 将待处理列表过滤为仅审批等待，占位卡片从此只服务于仍在路线图上的审批接管。
+
+输入区重设计将分页移到底部操作区旁，多选选项渲染显式复选框，单选保留编号行，并用始终可见的自定义输入行取代展开式自定义入口（无选项问题用多行文本框）。删除 `parseQuestionTitle` 的多选后缀约定；`multi_select` 已是结构化元数据，标题原样渲染。
+
+输入区界面文案实现双语：插件在 `dsh-client-locale` 的 `question` 命名空间下注册中英词典，并通过槽位 inject face 向条目提供绑定命名空间的翻译器和作为 hooks 舱源的 locale 快照，语言切换时已挂载的输入区会重新渲染。校验反馈以词典 key 存储、切换时重新翻译；载体失败消息与所有模型撰写的问题/选项文本原样渲染。
+
+两个相邻修复随行。所有通用 toolview 前导图标（含悬停箭头）现在统一继承三级标签色 —— 删除了 others 变体的二级色覆盖和独立的箭头颜色规则，只保留有意为之的 cordis 业务主色强调。客户端 dev-watch 打包器用 `addWatchFile` 注册每个 CSS 模块，因为虚拟模块间接层此前使仅改 CSS 的编辑对 watcher 不可见。
+
+## 曾考虑的替代方案
+
+**继续通过 `PendingCard` 渲染问题。** 否决：该卡片是接管存在之前的只读占位，导致同一内容显示两份且其中一份不可作答。toolview 行加接管同时覆盖了记录与收集两个面。
+
+**在会话记录行内联显示问题或回答。** 否决：输入区接管拥有问题渲染与回答收集，而行的约定（`todo_write`）是单行、详情在面板。因此行只报告结果，正如 todo 行报告计数而面板拥有列表。
+
+**用通用错误形态渲染 `ASK_CANCELLED`/`ASK_ABORTED`。** 否决：放弃是用户自己的主动操作，打断是共享的停止手势；两者都是预期结果而非工具失败。命名裁决（且中止保持琥珀色 stopped 语义）与其他被打断的工具调用的呈现一致。
+
+**现在就翻译行内裁决文案。** 依明确的产品决定推迟：本次改动中行的 `waiting`/`answered`/`cancelled`/`interrupted` 字符串保持英文；输入区界面文案的国际化落地是因为其仅中文的文案在 en 语言下本就是错的。
+
+**保留标题后缀的多选约定。** 否决：`multi_select` 是结构化请求元数据且复选框标识已承载该信号，从模型文本解析 `（可多选）` 是脆弱的重复通道。
+
+## 后果
+
+`ask_user_question` 与 `todo_write` 现在共同示范预期的 toolview 模式：复用 `ToolRow`、从调用参数或结果 JSON 做带形状校验回退的摘要、通过带 key 的槽位注册。专用的 `todo-row.module.css` 已删除。
+
+行内裁决字符串是问题流程仅剩的硬编码英文面；将其本地化是推迟的后续工作。在审批输入区接管交付之前，`PendingCard` 仍是可见但不可操作的审批占位。

+# Agent Note: Adaptive default for the directory-picker interaction
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-29-directory-picker-adaptive-default.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+The [directory-picker seam](../architecture/2026-07-28-directory-picker-capability-seam.md) made the interaction a `cordis.yml` swap point, but the shipped composition still had to pin one backend: `-browse` everywhere meant a local operator never got the OS chooser, `-native` everywhere breaks every remote deployment. The right default depends on facts only the running host knows — where the server binds, whether the process was launched over SSH, whether a display session exists — so no static row is correct for all deployments.
+
+## Decision
+
+A third sibling package, **`dsh-host-directory-picker-auto`**: a node-half-only *chooser* that owns no picking code and no UI. Its `apply` samples the host facts exactly once at boot — bind host from the injected `httpServer` (a new `host` getter mirrors the existing `port`), `SSH_CONNECTION`/`SSH_TTY`, platform, `DISPLAY`/`WAYLAND_DISPLAY`, and a `PATH` probe for a Linux chooser binary (zenity/kdialog) — resolves them through one exported pure function, and mounts the chosen dual-face backend with `ctx.loader.create({name})` into the Loader's **in-memory root tree**; the effect's disposer removes the entry and joins the backend fiber's teardown (`remove()` alone only starts it), so unloading the chooser settles only after the backend quiesced. `native` requires every attended-and-servable signal: loopback bind ∧ no SSH markers ∧ a display session the native backend can drive — assumed on darwin/win32, requiring `DISPLAY`/`WAYLAND_DISPLAY` plus a chooser binary on linux, and never true elsewhere (the native backend supports exactly darwin/win32/linux). Anything ambiguous resolves to `browse`, which works everywhere. `apps/cli` now mounts `-auto` as its `directory-picker` row; composing `-native` or `-browse` directly remains the pin.
+
+Why entry-level mounting is the load-bearing mechanism: the client module table (`dsh-client-modules`) reconciles **Loader entries** reactively over `internal/plugin`, so a backend mounted as a real entry gets its browser half discovered exactly as a config-row's would be — the seam's one-row-swaps-both-faces invariant survives adaptivity with zero duplicated client code. The dev HMR row (`AppCLIEntry`) is the mechanism precedent. Root-tree targeting matters: the root tree's `write()` is a no-op, so the resolved row can never be persisted back into `cordis.yml` (the Include subtree *does* write).
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **Boot-glue resolution in `AppCLIEntry`** (ship both rows with static `disabled`, patch `disabled` from a `--directory-picker=auto|native|browse` flag). Works — `PatchOptions` patches metadata, and the modules scan skips disabled rows — but leaves the decision app-private where every future composition re-implements it; the chooser plugin gives any `cordis.yml` the same one-row adaptivity. Reintroduce the flag only when a deployment needs to *force* a backend without editing its yml.
+- **One merged plugin branching per call** (client tries `pick`, falls back to the browse dialog on `directory-picker-unavailable`). Rejected: the client would need both flows in one bundle — the bundle-purity gate forbids cross-plugin value imports and jscpd forbids copying the dialog — and per-call probing pays a doomed RPC on every open of a browse host.
+- **Resurrecting the wire advertisement** so both client flows mount and branch on the host's kind. Rejected: reverses the seam note's deletion for no consumer the chooser doesn't already serve, and collides with the `single` directory-flow holes.
+- **Per-connection adaptivity** (native for a loopback browser, browse for a remote one, same server). Deferred: needs a per-client capability, the advertisement above, and both flows mounted; no deployment serves both operator shapes at once today.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- The shipped web GUI adapts out of the box: attended local host → OS chooser; SSH launch, all-interfaces bind, headless host, unsupported platform, or Linux without a chooser binary → in-app browser. Detection infers operator location from launch context, which no launch-side signal can prove: a detached tmux session loses `SSH_*`; a non-Aqua darwin process still counts as displayed; and the `ssh -L` shape (a workstation-local launch later reached through a forwarded port, arriving from `127.0.0.1`) resolves `native` and opens the chooser on the unattended workstation — per-connection adaptivity could not fix that last case either. A wrong `native` choice degrades to the backend's existing retryable failure dialog; deployments in these shapes compose `-browse` directly.
+- The chooser mounts backends by runtime string (`BACKEND_PACKAGES`, exported), which yml-row scanning cannot see; `verify-cordis-config` therefore requires every composition mounting `-auto` to declare both backends as dependencies, so keyless Linux CI (which only ever resolves `browse`) cannot hide a dropped `-native` dependency. The shipped-tree web e2e/snapshot lane (`apps/web/tests/scaffold.ts`) pins `-browse` by disable+insert patch — its goldens are interaction-specific and must not depend on the host running the suite.
+- One resolution per boot keeps the seam's capability-stability contract; per-connection shapes remain out of scope until a deployment demands them.
+- Mounting the chooser **and** a backend row together fails loud (duplicate `directoryPicker` service; duplicate flow in the `single` holes).
+- The host typecheck aggregate now references the two backend projects (declarations only, node entries carry no client merge) so the chooser's REAL-composition test can mount them — the mirror of the client aggregate's `webserver` reference.

+# Agent Note：目录选择交互的自适应默认值
+
+状态：已实现
+
+[English](2026-07-29-directory-picker-adaptive-default.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+[目录选择 seam](../architecture/2026-07-28-directory-picker-capability-seam.md)把交互形态做成了 `cordis.yml` 的切换点，但随附的组合仍必须固定一个后端：处处用 `-browse` 意味着本地操作者永远得不到 OS 选择器，处处用 `-native` 则弄坏所有远程部署。正确的默认值取决于只有运行中的宿主才知道的事实——服务器绑定在哪里、进程是否经 SSH 启动、是否存在显示会话——因此没有哪一静态行对所有部署都正确。
+
+## 决策
+
+第三个同级包 **`dsh-host-directory-picker-auto`**：一个只有 node 半侧的*选择器*，不持有任何选取代码，也没有 UI。它的 `apply` 在启动时恰好采样一次宿主事实——从注入的 `httpServer` 读绑定宿主（新增的 `host` getter 与既有的 `port` 对称）、`SSH_CONNECTION`／`SSH_TTY`、平台、`DISPLAY`／`WAYLAND_DISPLAY`、以及对 Linux 选择器二进制（zenity／kdialog）的一次 `PATH` 探查——经由一个导出的纯函数判定，再用 `ctx.loader.create({name})` 把选中的双面后端挂进 Loader 的**内存根树**；该 effect 的 disposer 会移除该条目并汇入后端 fiber 的拆卸（单靠 `remove()` 只是启动拆卸），因此卸载选择器要到后端静止之后才落定。`native` 要求全部“有人值守且可服务”信号：回环绑定 ∧ 无 SSH 标记 ∧ native 后端能驱动的显示会话——darwin／win32 上视为存在，linux 上要求 `DISPLAY`／`WAYLAND_DISPLAY` 外加一个选择器二进制，其余平台一律不成立（native 后端恰好支持 darwin／win32／linux）。任何含糊情形都判定为处处可用的 `browse`。`apps/cli` 现在把 `-auto` 挂为它的 `directory-picker` 行；直接组合 `-native` 或 `-browse` 仍是固定交互的方式。
+
+条目级挂载之所以是承重机制：client 模块表（`dsh-client-modules`）基于 `internal/plugin` 对 **Loader 条目**做响应式协调，因此以真实条目挂载的后端，其 browser half 被发现的方式与配置行完全相同——seam 的“一行同时换两面”不变式在自适应下依然成立，且没有一行重复的 client 代码。开发环境的 HMR 行（`AppCLIEntry`）是该机制的先例。瞄准根树很关键：根树的 `write()` 是 no-op，因此判定出的行绝不会被持久化回 `cordis.yml`（Include 子树*会*写回）。
+
+## 曾考虑的替代方案
+
+- **在 `AppCLIEntry` 里做启动胶水判定**（随附两行并带静态 `disabled`，由 `--directory-picker=auto|native|browse` 标志修补 `disabled`）。可行——`PatchOptions` 能修补元数据，模块扫描也会跳过禁用行——但把决策留成应用私有，此后每个组合都要重新实现；选择器插件让任何 `cordis.yml` 都获得同样的一行自适应。只有当某个部署需要不改自己的 yml 就*强制*指定后端时，才重新引入该标志。
+- **合并成一个按调用分支的插件**（client 先试 `pick`，收到 `directory-picker-unavailable` 再回退到浏览对话框）。否决：client 得把两套流程装进同一个 bundle——bundle 纯净门禁禁止跨插件的值导入，jscpd 禁止复制对话框——而且按调用探测让 browse 宿主每次打开都付出一次注定失败的 RPC。
+- **复活 wire 广播**，让两套 client 流程都挂载并按宿主的 kind 分支。否决：推翻 seam Agent Note 的那次删除，却服务不了任何选择器尚未服务的消费方，还与 `single` 目录流洞相冲突。
+- **按连接自适应**（同一台服务器，回环浏览器用 native、远程浏览器用 browse）。延期：需要按客户端的能力对象、上述广播，以及同时挂载两套流程；今天没有部署同时服务两种操作者形态。
+
+## 后果
+
+- 随附的 web GUI 开箱即自适应：有人值守的本地宿主 → OS 选择器；SSH 启动、全网卡绑定、无头宿主、不支持的平台，或没有选择器二进制的 Linux → 应用内浏览器。探测是从启动上下文推断操作者位置，而任何启动侧信号都无法证明这一点：脱离的 tmux 会话会丢失 `SSH_*`；非 Aqua 的 darwin 进程仍被算作有显示；而 `ssh -L` 形态（在工作站本地启动、之后经转发端口访问，从 `127.0.0.1` 到达）会判定 `native`，把选择器弹在无人值守的工作站上——即便按连接自适应也修不了最后这一情形。错误的 `native` 选择会退化为后端既有的可重试失败对话框；处于这些形态的部署直接组合 `-browse`。
+- 选择器按运行时字符串（已导出的 `BACKEND_PACKAGES`）挂载后端，yml 行扫描看不到这一点；因此 `verify-cordis-config` 要求每个挂载 `-auto` 的组合把两个后端都声明为依赖，使无密钥的 Linux CI（它永远只会判定出 `browse`）无法掩盖被丢掉的 `-native` 依赖。随附树的 web e2e／快照通道（`apps/web/tests/scaffold.ts`）以 disable+insert 补丁固定 `-browse`——其 golden 是交互特定的，绝不能依赖运行该套件的宿主。
+- 每次启动只判定一次，维持 seam 的能力稳定性契约；按连接的形态在有部署提出需求前仍不在范围内。
+- 同时挂载选择器**和**某个后端行会大声失败（重复的 `directoryPicker` 服务；`single` 洞中的重复流程）。
+- host 类型检查聚合现在引用两个后端项目（仅声明，node 入口不携带 client 合并），使选择器的 REAL-composition 测试能挂载它们——与 client 聚合对 `webserver` 的引用互为镜像。

+# Agent Note: Persistent Bash and string-replacement editor tools
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-29-persistent-bash-str-replace-editor.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+Some deployments need a one-call Bash schema whose shell state survives across model turns, while others need a Claude-style `str_replace_editor` independent of their terminal choice. Bundling the two tools or naming them after one benchmark would prevent reuse and blur configuration ownership.
+
+## Decision
+
+`@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-bash-persistent` consumes `ctx.pty` and registers one `bash(command)` tool. It lazily creates one interactive shell per exact Agent and serializes that owner's calls. Cwd, exported variables, activated environments, functions, and background jobs persist. Random private markers delimit command output. Retained scrollback is paged backward to recover the command's original prefix; a dropped prefix is reported explicitly. A nonzero wrapped command appends `[exit code: N]`; a shell that dies before reporting that status instead appends `[shell exited: code N]`, `[shell killed by signal: SIG]`, or `[shell exited]` when the backend supplies neither. `maxOutputChars` bounds retained command output, while fixed diagnostics can extend the returned string. Timeout or cancellation closes the shell before another call can reuse uncertain state, and model-visible timeout/exit results disclose that reset. Cancellation always resets and discards the result, even when a complete status marker is already observable, so state changes the model never saw cannot survive. The configurable description defaults to persistence facts only, so network and package-mirror claims remain deployment-owned.
+
+`@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-str-replace-editor` independently consumes `ctx.fs` and registers `str_replace_editor` with `view`, `create`, `str_replace`, and `insert`. It provides numbered text views, filtered two-level directory listings, unique literal replacement, canonical insertion boundaries, and bounded output. Paths are absolute; file views preserve content tabs so copied text remains valid literal replacement input; mutations preserve tabs outside the requested edit; and the public schema and failures use only `old_str`. The plugin can compose with persistent Bash, one-shot Bash, sandboxed Bash, or no shell.
+
+`dsh-system-prompt` accepts `includeHarnessIdentity: false`, while `dsh-agent-spine-demo` forwards that setting and accepts `toolBash: false`. A deployment can therefore own an exact persona and replace the spine's native Bash without duplicate prompt or tool registrations. Existing defaults remain unchanged.
+
+Both plugins are included in the Python runtime closure. The persistent Bash closure also includes the PTY service/local backend and the sandbox services required by that backend. Because `node-pty` executes a native `spawn-helper` on macOS, each packaged macOS runtime executable ships with a `-spawn-helper` sibling; Linux uses `forkpty` directly. A pinned `node-pty` patch checks `DSH_NODE_PTY_SPAWN_HELPER` first, so it remains a true override for a current external consumer that supplies a non-sibling helper. When the override is unset, the patch resolves the packaged executable sibling if present and otherwise preserves upstream lookup in ordinary Node runs. The macOS builders fail before publication when the helper is absent or not executable.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**One combined compatibility plugin.** Rejected because neither tool requires the other and the combined name would tie reusable capabilities to one benchmark.
+
+**Reuse one-shot Bash.** Rejected because `bash -c` cannot preserve cwd or environment state across calls.
+
+**Expose terminal management tools.** Rejected because open/send/read/close is a different model action space from one persistent `bash` call.
+
+**Modify native read/write/edit.** Rejected because it would distort their general-purpose contracts instead of adding an independently composable editor.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Profiles can reproduce an external agent by configuring persona and descriptions while the underlying packages remain general. Persistent Bash requires an owning Agent and real PTY backend. Shell exit, timeout, or cancellation loses state. The editor delegates security and mutation policy to the mounted filesystem stack. Runtime-wheel consumers still need no Node installation; Linux wheels contain one executable, while macOS wheels also contain its private native helper.

+# Agent Note：持久 Bash 与字符串替换编辑器工具
+
+状态：已实现
+
+[English](2026-07-29-persistent-bash-str-replace-editor.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+部分部署需要只调用一次的 Bash schema，同时要求 shell 状态跨模型轮次保留；另一些部署需要与终端选择无关的 Claude 风格 `str_replace_editor`。把两个工具绑在一起或按某个基准命名，会阻碍复用并模糊配置归属。
+
+## 决策
+
+`@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-bash-persistent` 消费 `ctx.pty` 并注册一个 `bash(command)` 工具。它为每个精确 Agent 惰性创建一个交互式 shell，并串行化该所有者的调用。Cwd、导出的变量、已激活环境、函数和后台任务会保留。随机私有标记划分命令输出；保留的 scrollback 会向前分页，以恢复命令真正的输出前缀，若前缀已被丢弃则明确告知。经封装的命令以非零状态结束时，会追加 `[exit code: N]`；若 shell 在报告该状态前终止，则改为追加 `[shell exited: code N]`、`[shell killed by signal: SIG]`，或在后端既未提供退出码也未提供信号时追加 `[shell exited]`。`maxOutputChars` 限制保留的命令输出，而固定诊断可能使返回字符串更长。超时或取消会先关闭 shell，避免下一次调用复用状态不确定的会话，模型可见的超时／退出结果也会说明该重置。取消始终会重置 shell 并丢弃结果，即使已经能观察到完整状态标记也是如此，从而不会让模型未曾看到的状态变更得以保留。可配置描述默认只声明持久性事实，因此网络和软件包镜像等声明仍归部署所有。
+
+`@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-str-replace-editor` 独立消费 `ctx.fs`，注册包含 `view`、`create`、`str_replace` 与 `insert` 的 `str_replace_editor`。它提供带行号文本查看、过滤后的两层目录列表、唯一字面量替换、规范插入边界和有界输出。路径必须为绝对路径；文件查看会保留内容中的制表符，因此复制的文本仍可作为有效的字面量替换输入；变更会保留请求编辑范围之外的制表符；公开 schema 与错误则只使用 `old_str`。它可以与持久 Bash、一次性 Bash、沙箱 Bash 或无 shell 组合。
+
+`dsh-system-prompt` 接受 `includeHarnessIdentity: false`；`dsh-agent-spine-demo` 会转发该设置，并接受 `toolBash: false`。因此部署可以拥有精确 persona，并替换 spine 的原生 Bash，而不会重复注册提示词或工具。既有默认值不变。
+
+两个插件都进入 Python runtime 闭包。持久 Bash 的闭包还包含 PTY 服务／本地后端，以及该后端要求的沙箱服务。由于 `node-pty` 在 macOS 上会执行原生 `spawn-helper`，每个打包后的 macOS 运行时可执行文件都会携带一个 `-spawn-helper` 伴随文件；Linux 直接使用 `forkpty`。固定版本的 `node-pty` 补丁会先检查 `DSH_NODE_PTY_SPAWN_HELPER`，因此对当前提供非伴随 helper 的外部消费方而言，该变量仍是真正的覆盖项。未设置该覆盖时，补丁会在打包可执行文件的伴随文件存在时解析它，否则在普通 Node 运行中保留上游查找方式。若 helper 缺失或不可执行，macOS 构建器会在发布前失败。
+
+## 考虑过的替代方案
+
+**单一组合兼容插件。** 被拒绝，因为两个工具互不依赖，组合命名还会把可复用能力绑定到某个基准。
+
+**复用一次性 Bash。** 被拒绝，因为 `bash -c` 无法跨调用保留 cwd 或环境状态。
+
+**暴露终端管理工具。** 被拒绝，因为 open/send/read/close 与单个持久 `bash` 调用是不同的模型动作空间。
+
+**修改原生 read/write/edit。** 被拒绝，因为这会扭曲其通用契约，而不是增加一个可独立组合的编辑器。
+
+## 后果
+
+Profile 可以通过配置 persona 和描述复现外部 Agent，而底层包保持通用。持久 Bash 需要拥有它的 Agent 与真实 PTY 后端；shell 退出、超时或取消会丢失状态。编辑器把安全与变更策略委托给挂载的文件系统栈。运行时 wheel 包的消费方仍无需安装 Node；Linux wheel 包包含一个可执行文件，macOS wheel 包还包含其私有原生 helper。

Both message rows pass their event's `seq` to the same fork callback; [Web session fork actions](2026-07-27-web-session-fork-actions.md) define the real mutation contract. Clipboard write and the clock helpers live in `message-chrome.ts`. The assembled surface is pinned by `apps/web/tests/message-actions.e2e.ts` (cold-seeded history + aria golden); aria normalization collapses every clock shape to `{{clock}}`.
 
 ## Alternatives considered
 
 **Show assistant IconActions during streaming.** Rejected: the request is to reveal the row only after output completes; mid-stream chrome would flicker and invite copying a partial answer.
 
-**Wire branch to a real session fork.** Rejected for this change: same rationale as the archived [user IconActions note](../../archived/feature/2026-07-27-user-message-icon-actions.md) — the mutation path is unspecified; the button reserves the design seat.
+**Put IconActions under every finalized assistant node (including Think-only).** Rejected: copy has nothing useful to write without text content, and repeating the chrome under every step/Think row clutters the flow; only content output owns the seat.
+
+**Hover-reveal the action row on hover-capable pointers.** Rejected: once the row exists it should stay discoverable; opacity hiding made the chrome easy to miss and required parent hover selectors that duplicated the mount gate.
+
+**Let the IconActions decision also define session fork semantics.** Rejected: this note owns only message chrome, clocks, and mount gating; boundary selection, failure behavior, and switching semantics belong to the separate [Web session fork actions](2026-07-27-web-session-fork-actions.md), keeping presentation components from becoming a second home for session mutation.
 
 **Publish the calendar day through a chat store or inject hook.** Rejected: the day tick is presentation-only local state with no cross-entry consumers; a component-local timeout matches the client rule that behavioral hooks may own state that does not subscribe to an external source.
 
 ## Consequences
 
-Settled assistant answers expose copy and the event clock immediately; branch stays a stub. User and assistant clocks share the same day/year widening rules and refresh after midnight without a message mutation. Per-message paging remains a deferred footer seat in the package README. Package tests pin the three clock shapes and the midnight widen; the web e2e scenario pins the assembled IconActions chrome.

+# Agent Note: Plan review as a decision, not a question
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-30-plan-review-presentation-intent.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+`exit_plan_mode` presents a finished plan for review through `ctx.userInteraction.ask()`, the same seam `ask_user_question` uses. On the Web GUI that made a plan review render as the generic question flow of [the ask-question Web presentation](2026-07-29-ask-question-web-presentation.md): a `1 / 1` pager, the plan as a question's supporting detail, the two verdicts as numbered radio rows with descriptions, an "Other — enter a custom answer" row, and `Skip this question` / `Submit` in the footer.
+
+Every one of those affordances is wrong for the surface. Reviewing a plan is one decision over one document, and the quiz chrome told the user they were being examined rather than asked to approve work — reported as "让人很困惑以为在做题". The paging controls page a set of one. Skipping is not an outcome the tool accepts (it folds into keep-planning). Worst, the surface gave no hint that this was the plan gate at all, while the adjacent waiting-approval takeover already had exactly the right shape for a decision: a tinted strip naming what is being decided, the subject as the body, and a right-aligned action row.
+
+## Decision
+
+A question may declare a **presentation intent**, and the Web composer renders a declared intent as its own surface. `AskUserQuestionItem` gains `intent?: AskUserQuestionIntent`, a tagged shape whose one member is `{ kind: 'plan-review', approve: string }`; `plan-mode` sets it on the review question, naming `Approve` as the label that approves.
+
+An intent shapes presentation only. The answer protocol is untouched: a UI honouring the intent answers with the same option labels a generic UI would send, so `exit_plan_mode` reads one answer shape regardless of which surface collected it, and a UI that does not know a tag renders the generic flow with nothing lost but the layout.
+
+`approve` names the affirmative option instead of relying on option order, so no UI infers a verdict from a position. Two assertions an intent makes are beyond the types, and `UserInteractionService.ask()` rejects both as `BAD_INTENT` at the asker: an `approve` naming none of that question's own options — before any UI can answer a choice never offered — and an intent on a question with no `detail`, the thing it declares itself a review of, which would ask the user to approve something invisible. On the wire the intent is a discriminated union, so an unrecognised tag is a rejected frame rather than a silently generic render.
+
+`ui-question` renders the intent as `PlanReviewPanel`, in the waiting-approval card language: the amber strip carries `Plan review`, the plan is the scrolling markdown body, and the decision row holds three actions — `Chat about it`, `Refuse`, `Approve`. The question text becomes the card's accessible name rather than a headline, because the buttons already say what the decision is. Approve and Refuse answer with the asker's own option labels and keep the asker's descriptions as tooltips; `Chat about it` cancels the request, which returns the composer so the user can simply say what they want. All copy is bilingual under the existing `question` namespace.
+
+Routing lives inside the single composer entry (`QuestionComposer` chooses the shape) rather than in a second chain registration, and `planReviewOf` claims a request only when the card can send every answer that request allows: one question declaring the intent, the plan as its `detail`, the named approve label offered, and a binary single choice — at most one option besides approve, and not multi-select. A third option or a multi-select batch has answers two buttons cannot express, so the generic flow keeps it, and keeps anything else the card cannot render. "Presentation only" is therefore literal: an intent never costs the user a reachable answer, and the client — downstream of a wire boundary — leaves every request answerable.
+
+Dismissal became its own model-facing outcome. `ASK_CANCELLED` previously reached the model as "the user cancelled ask_user_question", naming a tool it never called; `exit_plan_mode` now reports that the user dismissed the review to speak instead and to stay in plan mode and wait. Every other ask failure — an abort from turn cancel or provider teardown, where no user is coming — keeps its own message.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Make plan review its own pending kind (`plan-review/requested`).** Rejected as the wrong size for a presentation problem. It buys an honest response shape (approve / decline / discuss instead of an answer batch) at the cost of a third `PendingKind`, new requested/resolved frames and schemas, an api-proxy registry and respond branch, client session and baseline-replay handling, and a new three-package capability seam for a decision the question protocol already expresses. Worth revisiting only if plan review grows outcomes the answer shape cannot carry.
+
+**Route the card on the question's `id` or `header` (`plan-review` / `Plan review`).** Rejected: string-sniffing a foreign package's copy across a wire boundary, which any wording change silently breaks. The intent is the declaration that makes the routing legible.
+
+**Order the options and let the card read position 0 as approve.** Rejected: a positional contract at a package seam, invisible in both the type and the wire frame, and unenforceable — a producer that reorders its options would invert a user's verdict. Naming the label costs one string.
+
+**Register a second composer-chain entry for the plan card.** Rejected: two entries would select over the same pending question carrier, making the surface depend on chain priority and on whether the plan package's client half is composed at all. One entry that picks its own shape cannot race itself, and the generic flow is the built-in fallback.
+
+**Put the panel in `ui-plan` beside the plan chip.** Rejected: the panel's whole behavior is the question carrier's answer encoding (`PendingQuestion`), which `ui-question` owns; the intent is a question-protocol field, not plan-mode's private channel. Rendering declared intents belongs to the package that owns question rendering, as tool render intents belong to the tool renderer.
+
+**Extract a shared takeover card with `ui-conversation`'s `ApprovalPanel`.** Not done: the two takeovers agree on tokens and geometry but not on content — this body is scrolling markdown, that one a headline plus a command line — and the shared shell would be two elements wide. They are kept in step by token, not by component.
+
+**Give `Chat about it` its own protocol outcome.** Rejected: dismissing a request is a verb the generic flow already has (the `×` that cancels the batch). Promoting it to a labelled button is presentation; inventing a fourth wire outcome for it is not.
+
+## Consequences
+
+The question protocol now carries a presentation axis. Adding a second intent is a tag on the union, a producer that sets it, a schema member, and a panel — no new frame, service, or answer shape. The cost is that the question seam knows presentation exists at all, and that `ui-question` knows the word "plan"; both are the price of one entry owning every question surface.
+
+The plan gate reads as a plan gate: the plan is the card's content, the verdict is two labelled buttons, and taking the turn back is a third. The generic flow is untouched for every other question, and its committed goldens did not move.
+
+A deployment whose client half predates this change still shows the quiz layout — correct, answerable, and merely unstyled — because the intent is additive and the fallback is the generic flow.
+
+## Testing
+
+`ui-question` tests pin the narrowing (single-question batch, intent present, plan as detail, named approve label offered, binary single choice, decline absent when only approve is offered) and the panel (strip, markdown plan, accessible name, absence of pager/radio/skip/custom, approve and decline answering with the asker's labels, dismissal cancelling, one-shot latch with re-arm and message on a rejected receipt, tooltips present and absent, both locales). `user-interaction` tests pin both `BAD_INTENT` rejections and intent pass-through; `plan-mode` tests pin the declared intent against its own option list and both failure messages; the apiproxy schema test pins wire acceptance and an unknown tag's rejection.
+
+The `plan-review` Web e2e lane records `/plan` entering plan mode for real, the model calling `exit_plan_mode`, the decision card taking the composer (asserting the generic flow did **not** claim the request), and the card's own Approve completing the turn — two keyless goldens, the waiting card and the approved transcript.

+# Agent Note：计划审阅是一次决定，不是一道题
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-30-plan-review-presentation-intent.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+`exit_plan_mode` 通过 `ctx.userInteraction.ask()` 把写好的计划交给用户审阅，而这正是 `ask_user_question` 使用的同一个 seam。在 Web GUI 上，这导致计划审阅渲染为[ask-question Web 呈现](2026-07-29-ask-question-web-presentation.md)里的通用问题流程：一个 `1 / 1` 分页器、计划作为问题的补充说明、两个裁决作为带描述的编号单选行、一行"其他，请填写自定义答案"，以及底部的 `跳过本题` / `提交`。
+
+这些可交互元素对这个界面而言无一正确。审阅一份计划是对一份文档做一次决定，而做题式的界面告诉用户他正在被考试，而不是被请求批准一份工作 —— 实际反馈是"让人很困惑以为在做题"。分页控件在给只有一项的集合分页。跳过并不是该工具接受的结果（它会折叠成继续规划）。最糟的是，这个界面完全没有暗示这就是计划关口，而旁边的等待审批接管早就具备了一次决定该有的形状：一条带色条带说明正在决定什么、主体是决定的对象、右对齐的操作行。
+
+## 决定
+
+一个问题可以声明**呈现意图（presentation intent）**，Web 输入区把已声明的意图渲染为它自己的界面。`AskUserQuestionItem` 新增 `intent?: AskUserQuestionIntent`，一个带标签的形状，目前唯一成员是 `{ kind: 'plan-review', approve: string }`；`plan-mode` 在审阅问题上设置它，并指明 `Approve` 是表示批准的标签。
+
+意图只塑造呈现。回答协议不变：遵循意图的 UI 回答的仍是通用 UI 会发送的那些选项标签，因此无论由哪个界面收集，`exit_plan_mode` 读到的都是同一种回答形状；而不认识某个标签的 UI 渲染通用流程，除布局之外一无所失。
+
+`approve` 指名肯定选项，而不依赖选项顺序，因此没有任何 UI 会从位置推断裁决。意图作出的两项断言超出类型的表达能力，`UserInteractionService.ask()` 都以 `BAD_INTENT` 在提问方一侧拒绝：`approve` 未命中该问题自身的任一选项 —— 早于任何 UI 回答一个从未被提供过的选择；以及意图落在没有 `detail` 的问题上，而 `detail` 正是它自称在审阅的东西，那会让用户去批准一件看不见的事。在协议格式（wire format）上意图是可辨识联合，因此无法识别的标签是被拒绝的帧，而不是静默退回通用渲染。
+
+`ui-question` 把该意图渲染为 `PlanReviewPanel`，沿用等待审批卡片的语言：琥珀色条带写着 `Plan review`，计划是可滚动的 markdown 主体，决定行放三个操作 —— `Chat about it`、`Refuse`、`Approve`。问题文本成为卡片的无障碍名称而非标题，因为按钮已经说明了这次决定是什么。Approve 与 Refuse 用提问方自己的选项标签回答，并把提问方的描述保留为 tooltip；`Chat about it` 取消该请求，从而让输入区归位，用户直接说他想说的话即可。所有文案在既有 `question` 命名空间下双语。
+
+路由住在单一输入区条目内部（由 `QuestionComposer` 选择形状），而不是第二个链式注册；`planReviewOf` 仅在卡片能够发出该请求允许的每一个答案时才接管：只有一个问题且声明了意图、以 `detail` 承载计划、提供了被指名的批准标签，且是二元单选 —— 除批准外最多一个选项，且非多选。出现第三个选项或多选批次时，其答案是两个按钮无法表达的，通用流程保留它，也保留其他任何卡片渲染不了的请求。因此"只塑造呈现"是字面意义上的：意图绝不让用户失去一个可达的答案，而位于协议边界下游的客户端让每个请求都保持可回答。
+
+放弃审阅成为面向模型的独立结果。`ASK_CANCELLED` 以前传到模型的是"the user cancelled ask_user_question"，指名了一个它从未调用的工具；现在 `exit_plan_mode` 报告用户放弃审阅是为了改用说话，并要求留在 plan mode 中等待。其余每一种 ask 失败 —— 轮次取消或提供方拆卸导致的中止，那里并没有用户会来 —— 保留它们自己的消息。
+
+## 备选方案
+
+**让计划审阅成为自己的待处理种类（`plan-review/requested`）。** 否决：对一个呈现问题来说尺寸不对。它换来的是诚实的响应形状（approve / decline / discuss 而非一批回答），代价是第三个 `PendingKind`、新的 requested/resolved 帧与 schema、一个 api-proxy 注册表与响应分支、客户端会话与基线重放处理，以及为一个问题协议已能表达的决定新增一个三包能力 seam。只有当计划审阅长出回答形状承载不了的结果时才值得重新考虑。
+
+**按问题的 `id` 或 `header`（`plan-review` / `Plan review`）路由卡片。** 否决：这是跨协议边界嗅探另一个包的文案字符串，任何措辞改动都会静默破坏它。意图才是让路由可读的那个声明。
+
+**约定选项顺序，让卡片把第 0 个位置读作批准。** 否决：这是包边界上的位置约定，在类型和协议帧里都看不见，也无法强制 —— 生产方一旦重排选项，就会颠倒用户的裁决。指名标签只花一个字符串。
+
+**为计划卡片注册第二个输入区链条目。** 否决：两个条目会对同一个待回答问题载体做选择，使界面取决于链优先级、以及计划包的客户端半边是否被组合。一个自己挑形状的条目不会和自己抢，而通用流程正是内建的回退。
+
+**把面板放在 `ui-plan` 里、紧挨计划状态标签。** 否决：面板的全部行为就是问题载体的回答编码（`PendingQuestion`），那是 `ui-question` 拥有的；意图是问题协议的字段，不是 plan-mode 的私有通道。渲染已声明的意图属于拥有问题渲染的那个包，正如工具渲染意图属于工具渲染方。
+
+**与 `ui-conversation` 的 `ApprovalPanel` 抽出共享的接管卡片。** 未做：两个接管在 token 和几何上一致，但内容不一致 —— 这边的主体是可滚动 markdown，那边是一行标题加一行命令 —— 共享外壳只会剩两个元素宽。它们靠 token 保持一致，而不是靠组件。
+
+**给 `Chat about it` 自己的协议结果。** 否决：放弃一个请求是通用流程已有的动词（取消整批的 `×`）。把它提升为带标签的按钮属于呈现；为它发明第四种协议结果不属于。
+
+## 结果
+
+问题协议从此带有一个呈现轴。新增第二个意图 = 联合上的一个标签、一个设置它的生产方、一个 schema 成员、一个面板 —— 不需要新的帧、服务或回答形状。代价是问题 seam 从此知道"呈现"这件事存在，且 `ui-question` 知道"plan"这个词；两者都是由单一条目拥有全部问题界面所要付的价钱。
+
+计划关口读起来就像计划关口：计划是卡片的内容，裁决是两个带标签的按钮，把轮次拿回来是第三个。通用流程对其他每个问题都未受影响，其已提交的 golden 也没有变动。
+
+客户端半边早于本次改动的部署仍然显示做题式布局 —— 正确、可回答、只是没有专门样式 —— 因为意图是增量的，而回退就是通用流程。
+
+## 测试
+
+`ui-question` 测试钉住收窄（单问题批、意图存在、计划作为 detail、被指名的批准标签确实被提供、二元单选、只提供批准时 decline 缺席）与面板（条带、markdown 计划、无障碍名称、无分页/单选/跳过/自定义、批准与拒绝用提问方的标签回答、放弃触发取消、一次性闭锁在回执被拒时重新武装并给出消息、tooltip 有与无、两种语言）。`user-interaction` 测试钉住两种 `BAD_INTENT` 拒绝与意图透传；`plan-mode` 测试钉住已声明的意图与其自身选项列表的一致、以及两条失败消息；apiproxy schema 测试钉住协议接受与未知标签的拒绝。
+
+`plan-review` Web e2e 通道录制了 `/plan` 真实进入 plan mode、模型调用 `exit_plan_mode`、决定卡片接管输入区（并断言通用流程**没有**接管该请求）、以及卡片自身的 Approve 完成该轮 —— 两份无密钥 golden：等待中的卡片与批准后的会话记录。

+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-30-web-composer-stats-and-input-polish.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+The web composer footer showed a single joined stats string (cache/tokens/turns/steps) in its own stack row, visually detached from the input card and missing the design's duration and token-split details. The input zone itself had accumulated per-entry spacing hacks: dock strips carried their own margins, the sticky seat sat on a solid fill that clipped the transcript hard, the back-to-bottom control cleared the composer by a hardcoded offset that broke as the draft grew, and the goal and todo strips disagreed on surface color and column width.
+
+## Decision
+
+**The stats line renders inside the InputBar's width column through a new `footer` owner prop and expands to the design's grouped detail row; the composer stack owns one 6px rhythm; the seat fades the transcript through a fixed 36px token-bound gradient; the back-to-bottom control follows a live `--dsh-composer-height`; goal, todo, and queue share one 752px tip-fill column.**
+
+- `'conversation.composer.dock'` entries reach the page as the `ComposerBarOwnerProps.footer` slot, rendered under the card inside the bar's `.root`, so the stats line and the card share one width constraint. `StatsLine` derives everything client-side from the snapshot: turns/steps, LLM wall time from assistant `timing` (`completedTime - stepStartTime`), tool wall time from tool-result `time - callTime` pairs, prompt/output token split with cache-read folded into input, and cache-hit percentage. Groups render pipe-separated and drop out whole when empty; `formatTokens` (517 / 12.2K / 1.2M) and `formatDuration` (45.2s / 2m42s) are exported for tests. Durations cover only in-window nodes — the README owns that limitation.
+- `.composerStack` carries the Figma composition matrix's 6px gap. Goal and Todo remain standalone cards; the terminal Queue entry subtracts that gap plus the named 5px layout overlap so the later composer card paints over only the queue edge. The [composer context stack decision](../bug-fix/2026-07-30-composer-context-stack-order.md) owns the order and overlap contract.
+- The sticky seat's background is a `linear-gradient` from `color-mix(bg-base 0%, transparent)` at 0px to solid `bg-base` at 36px — pixel stops, not the figma export's percentage, so a growing draft widens only the solid region; `color-mix` keeps both themes fading from their own base.
+- A `useCallback` ref on the seat attaches a ResizeObserver that publishes `--dsh-composer-height` on the scroll body; ChatView's back-to-bottom slot computes `bottom` from it (152px first-paint fallback) instead of the prior hardcoded 168px.
+- The textarea's 52px two-line floor applies to the hero variant only; the docked composer collapses to content height. Goal, Todo, and Queue panels use the 44px-gutter / 752px-cap column with `tip` fill and l1 border; the standalone Goal and collapsed Todo cards are 36px and 44px tall.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Percentage gradient stops (the figma export's 24%).** Rejected: the stop scales with seat height, so a tall draft stretches the fade band over most of the transcript; the fixed 36px band equals the design's 24% at the resting ~150px composer and stays constant as the composer grows.
+
+**A generic "bottommost entry tucks" contract.** Rejected because Goal and Todo are independent cards even when either is the last visible dock entry. Queue owns the one intentional composer overlap, while the stack owns its shared gap and overlap values.
+
+**Backend-supplied duration fields for the stats line.** Unnecessary: assistant `timing` and tool call/result pairs already reach the snapshot, so wall times fold client-side with no new session event or host projection.
+
+**Keeping the stats line as a composer-stack sibling.** Rejected: as a stack row it carried its own width constraint that drifted from the card's; as the bar's `footer` both share one column and the stats participate in the seat's sticky/gradient region by construction.
+
+## Consequences
+
+The stats row reads turns/steps, LLM and tool durations, cache hit, and input/output tokens at a glance, at the cost that durations cover only the loaded event window (README Known Limitation). The stack's fixed order keeps standalone context cards independent and makes Queue the only panel joined to the composer; a future dock entry must choose its order relative to those roles. The fade band is a constant 36px, so any future design retune is one stop value. `chat-stats-bash-sample.spec.tsx` pins the derivation (timing/tool folds, token split), both formatters, the grouped render, and the zero-renders-during-streaming acceptance.

+
+## Problem
+
+Web 编辑器页脚原本以独立 stack 行显示一条拼接的统计字符串（cache／tokens／turns／steps），视觉上与输入卡脱节，且缺少设计稿中的耗时与 token 拆分细节。输入区自身也积累了逐条目的间距补丁：dock 条各带自己的 margin，sticky 座位下是硬切消息流的纯色填充，「回到底部」控件用硬编码偏移躲避编辑器、草稿一长高就失效，goal 与 todo 条的底色和列宽也互不一致。
+
+## Decision
+
+**统计行经由新的 `footer` owner prop 渲染进 InputBar 的宽度列内，并扩展为设计稿的分组细节行；composer stack 拥有唯一的 6px 节奏；座位以固定 36px 的 token 绑定渐变淡出消息流；「回到底部」控件跟随实时的 `--dsh-composer-height`；goal、todo 与 queue 共用一条 752px 的 tip 填充列。**
+
+- `'conversation.composer.dock'` 条目以 `ComposerBarOwnerProps.footer` 席位到达页面，渲染在卡片下方、bar 的 `.root` 之内，统计行与卡片因此共享同一宽度约束。`StatsLine` 全部在客户端从快照推导：turns／steps、由 assistant `timing`（`completedTime - stepStartTime`）折算的 LLM 墙钟时间、由 tool-result 的 `time - callTime` 配对折算的工具墙钟时间、把 cache-read 并入输入侧的提示／输出 token 拆分，以及缓存命中率。各组以竖线分隔、无数据时整组消失；`formatTokens`（517 / 12.2K / 1.2M）与 `formatDuration`（45.2s / 2m42s）导出供测试。耗时只覆盖窗口内节点——该限制由 README 记录。
+- `.composerStack` 采用 Figma 组合矩阵中的 6px 间距。Goal 与 Todo 保持为独立卡片；末端的 Queue 条目减去这段间距及具名的 5px 布局重叠量，使后渲染的 composer 卡片只覆盖 Queue 边缘。[composer 上下文堆栈决策](../bug-fix/2026-07-30-composer-context-stack-order.md) 规定顺序与重叠契约。
+- sticky 座位的背景是从 0px 处的 `color-mix(bg-base 0%, transparent)` 到 36px 处纯色 `bg-base` 的 `linear-gradient`——像素节点而非 figma 导出的百分比，草稿长高只扩大纯色区域；`color-mix` 让两个主题都从各自的底色淡出。
+- 座位上的 `useCallback` ref 挂 ResizeObserver，把 `--dsh-composer-height` 发布到滚动体上；ChatView 的回到底部席位据此计算 `bottom`（首帧回退 152px），替换先前硬编码的 168px。
+- textarea 的 52px 两行下限只保留在 hero 变体；停靠态编辑器折叠到内容高度。Goal、Todo 与 Queue 面板统一使用 44px 边距／752px 上限的列，并采用 `tip` 填充和 l1 边框；独立的 Goal 卡片与折叠后的 Todo 卡片高度分别为 36px 和 44px。
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**百分比渐变节点（figma 导出的 24%）。** 否决：节点随座位高度缩放，长草稿会把过渡带拉伸到消息流的大半；固定 36px 过渡带等于设计稿在静息 ~150px 编辑器下的 24%，且随编辑器长高保持恒定。
+
+**通用「最底条目贴卡」契约。** 不予采纳，因为 Goal 和 Todo 即使成为最后一个可见 dock 条目，也仍是独立卡片。Queue 拥有唯一一处有意的 composer 重叠，而 stack 拥有共享的间距和重叠量。
+
+**由后端为统计行提供耗时字段。** 不必要：assistant `timing` 与工具 call/result 配对已经到达快照，墙钟时间可在客户端折算，无需新的会话事件或 host 投影。
+
+**统计行保持为 composer stack 的兄弟节点。** 否决：作为 stack 行它携带独立的宽度约束、与卡片漂移；作为 bar 的 `footer`，两者共享一列，统计行也天然落在座位的 sticky／渐变区域内。
+
+## Consequences
+
+统计行现在一眼可读 turns／steps、LLM 与工具耗时、缓存命中和输入／输出 token，代价是耗时只覆盖已加载事件窗口（README 已知限制）。stack 的固定顺序使独立的上下文卡片彼此分离，并让 Queue 成为唯一与 composer 相接的面板；未来新增 dock 条目时，必须选择自己相对于这些角色的顺序。过渡带恒为 36px，未来设计调整只改一个节点值。`chat-stats-bash-sample.spec.tsx` 钉住推导（timing／工具折算、token 拆分）、两个格式化器、分组渲染，以及流式期间零重渲染的验收。

+# Agent Note: Web context injection disclosure
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-30-web-context-injection-disclosure.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+The Web conversation rendered every logged non-user message through the generic `JsonBlock`. That presentation used a textual triangle, compact label typography, a bordered JSON panel, and unrelated spacing, so context injection did not match the Tool calls disclosure shown in the product design. Restyling the generic primitive would also change unknown events and attachment fallbacks.
+
+## Decision
+
+`MessageItem` routes context nodes to `ContextInjectionRow`. The row starts collapsed, names the presentation `上下文注入`, uses the existing browse glyph, and exposes the whole 24px header as one pointer and keyboard disclosure target. Its expanded body begins 4px below the header at the shared 22px content indent and renders the design's 141px scrollport with 8px radius, code-block background, 11/16 code text, and no border.
+
+`ContextInjectionRow` serializes both logged `content` and `source` into one inline JSON value, preserving provenance alongside model-visible material. The display remains bounded by the existing 20,000-character truncation policy. It changes no session event, runtime fold, or context-producing plugin.
+
+The package-internal `DisclosureRow` owns the header geometry, icon-to-chevron transition, controlled open state, and Enter/Space behavior shared by context and `ToolRow`. `ToolRow` remains the semantic owner of tool state, summaries, file links, and expanded tool bodies. Context does not enter the keyed toolview slot and gains no context-specific slot while all context sources share one presentation.
+
+## Verification
+
+Conversation component tests pin the collapsed default, browse glyph, whole-row pointer and keyboard toggles, inline JSON shape, truncation, and unchanged generic unknown-event rendering. The keyless assembled-Web history scenario injects context through the real Agent API, records the collapsed row in its ARIA golden, and measures the design's icon, header, indent, gap, scrollport, padding, radius, typography, color, and overflow in Chromium.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Restyle `JsonBlock` globally.** Unknown surface events and miscellaneous content blocks use that primitive for a separate generic fallback, so a global visual change would couple unrelated presentations.
+
+**Render context as a read tool.** Reusing `ToolRow` directly would add false tool semantics, state and keyed dispatch to a logged non-user message.
+
+**Add a keyed context-view slot.** Every current context source uses the same title and provenance body. A registration seam has no present consumer and can be added without changing the row if distinct source-owned presentations emerge.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Context injection matches the Tool calls visual language without changing its durable meaning. The shared disclosure header prevents the two rows from drifting, while the dedicated context body and generic `JsonBlock` remain independently evolvable. The fixed-height body trades automatic expansion for a stable transcript rhythm and requires scrolling to inspect long injected instructions.

+# Agent Note: Web 上下文注入展开项
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-30-web-context-injection-disclosure.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+Web 会话原本通过通用 `JsonBlock` 渲染每条已记录的非用户消息。这种呈现使用文本三角符号、紧凑的标签字体、有边框的 JSON 面板和另一套间距，因此上下文注入与产品设计中的 Tool calls 展开项不一致。修改通用原语的样式还会影响未知事件和附件的兜底呈现。
+
+## 决策
+
+`MessageItem` 将上下文节点路由至 `ContextInjectionRow`。该行初始折叠，标题为 `上下文注入`，使用现有的浏览图标，并使整个 24px 标题栏成为可通过指针和键盘操作的展开目标。其展开主体从标题栏下方 4px 处开始，与共用的 22px 内容缩进对齐，并渲染设计规定的 141px 滚动区；滚动区采用 8px 圆角、代码块背景、11/16 代码文本且无边框。
+
+`ContextInjectionRow` 将已记录的 `content` 和 `source` 序列化为一个内联 JSON 值，在模型可见内容旁保留来源信息。显示内容继续受现有的 20,000 字符截断策略约束。该变更不修改任何会话事件、运行时折叠逻辑或上下文生成插件。
+
+包内部的 `DisclosureRow` 负责上下文行和 `ToolRow` 共用的标题栏几何、图标至折叠箭头的过渡、受控打开状态，以及 Enter／Space 操作。`ToolRow` 仍是工具状态、摘要、文件链接和展开后工具主体的语义 owner。所有上下文来源共用同一套呈现；上下文不会进入键控 toolview slot，也不会获得上下文专用 slot。
+
+## 验证
+
+会话组件测试固定验证初始折叠状态、浏览图标、整行的指针与键盘切换、内联 JSON 形状、截断，以及通用未知事件渲染保持不变。无密钥的组装后 Web 历史场景通过真实 Agent API 注入上下文，在 ARIA 预期输出中记录折叠行，并在 Chromium 中测量设计规定的图标、标题栏、缩进、间隙、滚动区、内边距、圆角、字体排版、颜色和溢出行为。
+
+## 考虑过的替代方案
+
+**全局重新设置 `JsonBlock` 样式。** 之所以否决：未知 surface 事件和其他内容块使用该原语作为独立的通用兜底呈现，全局视觉变更会把无关的呈现耦合起来。
+
+**将上下文渲染为 read 工具。** 之所以否决：直接复用 `ToolRow` 会为已记录的非用户消息添加错误的工具语义、状态和键控分发。
+
+**新增键控 context-view slot。** 之所以否决：当前所有上下文来源都使用相同的标题和来源信息主体，注册 seam 暂无消费方。如果将来出现由不同来源拥有的呈现，仍可在不更改该行的情况下添加此 seam。
+
+## 后果
+
+上下文注入与 Tool calls 采用一致的视觉语言，同时不改变其持久保存的语义。共用的展开项标题栏可以防止这两种行逐渐偏离，而专用的上下文主体与通用 `JsonBlock` 仍可独立演进。固定高度的主体以无法随内容自动增高为代价，为 transcript（文本记录）维持稳定的排版节奏；查看较长的注入指令时必须滚动。

+# Agent Note: Web result card — a structured render intent for web_search and web_fetch
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-30-web-result-card.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+The `web_search` and `web_fetch` tools each declared a generic pending card (`presentCall`, `kind: 'search'`/`'fetch'`) but no `presentResult`, so a completed web call reached a UI only as the model-facing render text. For a web frontend that wants to render a citation list or a fetch summary, that text is lossy: `web_search`'s render collapses each source's `title`, `snippet`, and `publishedAt` into one free-text markdown line labelled by title OR hostname (`formatSearchOutput` in `packages/web/tool-web/src/search.ts`), so reparsing the render cannot recover the per-source fields; and `web_fetch`'s render carries `url` and `statusCode` only in a header line. The render-intent contract ([tagged union](../architecture/2026-07-02-tool-render-intent-union.md)) had no arm a web tool could declare to carry a structured result.
+
+## Decision
+
+Add one `card: 'web'` result arm to `ToolResultView` (`packages/core/tools/src/presentation.ts`), a union `WebResultView = WebSearchResultView | WebFetchResultView` discriminated by a `kind: 'search' | 'fetch'` field, plus a `WebSource` shape for one citeable source. Both tools now declare `presentResult`.
+
+One tag with a `kind` discriminant, not two tags. Both calls are web retrieval and a web frontend renders them with one component family (a retrieval card whose body differs by kind), so a shared `card` keeps every card consumer's switch to one added arm and lets the frontend branch on `kind` inside it. Two tags would force every present and future consumer to add two arms for what is one visual family. The `kind` values match the two tools' existing generic call-view `kind`s, so a call and its result read as the same category.
+
+`presentationMeta` carries what render text cannot. The structured result object a tool returns from `execute` does NOT reach a client over the wire — only the model-facing `render` text and, when declared, the `output.presentationMeta` JSON projected onto the `tool/result` event's `meta` do. For `web_search` the meta is the ONLY faithful route to `{url, title?, snippet?, publishedAt?}`: the render collapses those fields into one lossy free-text line, so a consumer cannot reparse them. For `web_fetch` the meta is a smaller but real gain: `url`/`statusCode` are recoverable from the deterministic `Fetched <url> (HTTP <n>)` header line, but `truncated` is the effective truncation — provider cap, pre-conversion source cut, or the deployment's `fetchMaxOutputChars` output cap — which a client cannot recompute because it does not know that cap. The fetch card and the model-facing text derive `truncated` from one shared `renderFetchOutput(result, maxOutputChars)` helper, so the card never disagrees with the footer the model saw. This mirrors the write/edit diff template (`packages/fs/tool-fs/src/diff.ts`): a `*MetaFromValue` projector feeds `output.presentationMeta`, and a `*MetaFromResult` narrower reads `result.meta` back with a defensive fallback to the generic card. `web_fetch`'s body is already markdown in the result content, so it is not duplicated into meta.
+
+Neither result view carries a `content` copy. A UI that does not render the structured `web` card falls back to the raw `tool/result` content. The TUI does exactly this: it renders no structured web body, and its transcript renderer routes a `web` view's fallback content through the same dim Markdown path as a generic card's content (`packages/ui/tui/src/components/transcript.ts`, where both `render` and `renderBody` narrow the `generic` arm to `view.content` and give a `web` view the same `this.result?.content` fallback). Copying the result content into the view would duplicate up to `fetchMaxOutputChars` characters on the same delivered frame for no gain (the same rejection the meta section applies to the fetch body), so the views omit it and the fallback path renders the identical text. Each view sets its result-state `title` from the call args (`args.query` / `args.url`) so a window-truncated replay that dropped the call head still has a title, the way write/edit reset title at result time.
+
+`presentResult` returns `undefined` (the generic card) on an error result and on absent or malformed `meta`, because presentation runs on replay of arbitrary logged results (possibly from an older schema) and must never throw. The narrowers validate every field defensively; an empty source list is valid meta, not malformed.
+
+## Consequences
+
+The web frontend consumer is a separate later PR: this PR adds the contract arm and makes the two tools emit it, with no client-side rendering. The one observable change is that the `web_search`/`web_fetch` `tool/result` events now persist a `data.meta` payload (the `web-fetch` keyless snapshot is refreshed accordingly); the model-facing render text and the TUI presentation are unchanged (the TUI falls back to the same result content). The assembled-application transcript snapshot that exercises a `web` card belongs to the consumer PR that renders it, delivered there. Any existing `ToolResultView` consumer that switches exhaustively must add a `web` arm; the TUI does not switch exhaustively and needs none. `apiproxy`'s session schema already accepts any `card` string (`packages/host/apiproxy/src/api/sessions.schema.ts`), so the new view crosses the wire without a schema change.
+
+A future web tool that wants this card declares `presentResult` returning a `card: 'web'` view with its own `kind`; adding a third `kind` is a union edit plus the frontend's branch, not a new card tag.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Two card tags (`web-search`, `web-fetch`).** Rejected: it doubles the arm count at every card consumer for one visual family, and the two shapes already share enough (a titled retrieval card with fallback content) that a `kind` discriminant expresses the difference without a second tag.
+
+**Reparse the render text in `presentResult` instead of projecting meta.** Rejected for `web_search`: the render's source list is lossy (title-or-hostname label, snippet and date concatenated into free text), so reparsing cannot faithfully recover the structured fields. `presentationMeta` is the only route that preserves them.
+
+**Carry the fetch body in meta, or copy the result content into either view.** Rejected: the body is already the model-facing markdown in the result content, and duplicating it into meta or into a view `content` field would double the persisted or delivered payload for no gain; a UI without the `web` capability falls back to the existing result content, which is the same text.
+
+## Testing
+
+`packages/web/tool-web/tests/tool-web.spec.ts` covers, per-file to the 100% gate: `searchMetaFromValue`/`fetchMetaFromValue` projection including omission of absent optional fields, and the fetch `truncated` projection agreeing with the render footer both when only the output cap cut the body and when nothing did; `searchMetaFromResult`/`fetchMetaFromResult` narrowing with a round-trip and every malformed-shape rejection (non-object, wrong field types, a malformed source entry) plus the empty-source-list accept; `presentSearchResult`/`presentFetchResult` typed views including the args-derived title, the absence of a `content` copy, the truncated signal, the error-result fallback, and the malformed-meta fallback; and two real-registry executions asserting the tool projects the meta onto `result.meta` and its registered `presentResult` derives the `card: 'web'` view.

+# Agent Note: Web result card — a structured render intent for web_search and web_fetch
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-30-web-result-card.md) | 中文
+
+## Problem
+
+`web_search` 与 `web_fetch` 工具各自声明了一个 generic 待定卡片（`presentCall`，`kind: 'search'`/`'fetch'`），但没有 `presentResult`，因此一个已完成的 web 调用抵达 UI 时只剩下面向模型的 render 文本。对于想渲染引用列表或抓取摘要的 web 前端而言，该文本是有损的：`web_search` 的 render 把每个来源的 `title`、`snippet`、`publishedAt` 压进一行以 title 或 hostname 标注的自由文本 markdown（`packages/web/tool-web/src/search.ts` 中的 `formatSearchOutput`），因此重新解析 render 无法恢复各来源字段；`web_fetch` 的 render 也仅在一行 header 里携带 `url` 与 `statusCode`。渲染意图契约（[标签联合类型](../architecture/2026-07-02-tool-render-intent-union.md)）此前没有一个可供 web 工具声明、用以携带结构化结果的分支。
+
+## Decision
+
+向 `ToolResultView`（`packages/core/tools/src/presentation.ts`）新增一个 `card: 'web'` 结果分支，它是以 `kind: 'search' | 'fetch'` 字段作判别的联合 `WebResultView = WebSearchResultView | WebFetchResultView`，并附一个表示单个可引用来源的 `WebSource` 形状。两个工具现在都声明 `presentResult`。
+
+采用一个标签加 `kind` 判别，而非两个标签。两个调用都是 web 检索，web 前端会用同一族组件渲染它们（一个检索卡片，正文按 kind 不同），因此共用一个 `card` 让每个 card 消费者的 switch 只需新增一个分支，并让前端在其内部按 `kind` 分岔。两个标签会迫使当前及未来每个消费者为本属同一视觉族的东西添加两个分支。这两个 `kind` 取值与两个工具既有的 generic 调用视图 `kind` 一致，因此一个调用与它的结果读起来是同一类别。
+
+`presentationMeta` 携带 render 文本无法携带的东西。工具从 `execute` 返回的结构化结果对象**不会**经由 wire 抵达客户端——只有面向模型的 `render` 文本，以及（声明时）投影到 `tool/result` 事件 `meta` 上的 `output.presentationMeta` JSON 会。对 `web_search`，meta 是得到 `{url, title?, snippet?, publishedAt?}` 的**唯一**忠实途径：render 把这些字段压进一行有损的自由文本，消费者无法重新解析。对 `web_fetch`，meta 是更小但真实的收益：`url`/`statusCode` 可从确定格式的 `Fetched <url> (HTTP <n>)` header 行还原，但 `truncated` 是有效截断——provider cap、转换前源截断，或部署的 `fetchMaxOutputChars` 输出上限——客户端无法重算，因为它不知道那个上限。抓取卡片与面向模型的文本都从同一个 `renderFetchOutput(result, maxOutputChars)` helper 派生 `truncated`，因此卡片绝不会与模型看到的脚注分叉。这照搬 write/edit 的 diff 模板（`packages/fs/tool-fs/src/diff.ts`）：一个 `*MetaFromValue` 投影器喂给 `output.presentationMeta`，一个 `*MetaFromResult` 收窄器读回 `result.meta`，并在失败时防御性回退到 generic 卡片。`web_fetch` 的正文已是结果内容中的 markdown，因此不重复写入 meta。
+
+两个结果视图都不携带 `content` 副本。不渲染结构化 `web` 卡片的 UI 回退到原始 `tool/result` 内容。TUI 正是如此：它不渲染结构化的 web 正文，其 transcript 渲染器把 `web` 视图的回退内容与 generic 卡片的内容路由进同一条 dim Markdown 路径（`packages/ui/tui/src/components/transcript.ts` 中 `render` 与 `renderBody` 都把 `generic` 分支收窄为 `view.content`，并给 `web` 视图相同的 `this.result?.content` 回退）。把结果内容复制进视图会在同一投递帧上重复最多 `fetchMaxOutputChars` 个字符却毫无收益（与 meta 一节对抓取正文的否决同理），因此视图省略它，回退路径渲染完全相同的文本。每个视图从调用参数设置其结果期 `title`（`args.query`／`args.url`），因此丢掉了调用头的窗口截断重放仍有标题，与 write/edit 在结果期重设 title 的做法一致。
+
+`presentResult` 在错误结果、以及 `meta` 缺失或畸形时返回 `undefined`（即 generic 卡片），因为 presentation 会在对任意已记录结果（可能来自旧 schema）的重放中运行，绝不能抛错。收窄器防御性地校验每个字段；空来源列表是有效 meta，而非畸形。
+
+## Consequences
+
+web 前端消费者是一个独立的后续 PR：本 PR 新增契约分支并让两个工具发出它，不含客户端渲染。唯一可观察的变化是 `web_search`/`web_fetch` 的 `tool/result` 事件现在持久化一个 `data.meta` 载荷（`web-fetch` keyless 快照随之刷新）；面向模型的 render 文本与 TUI 呈现不变（TUI 回退到相同的结果内容）。渲染 `web` 卡片的组装应用 transcript 快照属于渲染它的消费者 PR，在那里交付。任何做穷尽 switch 的现有 `ToolResultView` 消费者都必须新增一个 `web` 分支；TUI 并不穷尽 switch，无需新增。`apiproxy` 的会话 schema 已接受任意 `card` 字符串（`packages/host/apiproxy/src/api/sessions.schema.ts`），因此新视图无需 schema 变更即可跨 wire。
+
+未来想用此卡片的 web 工具，声明一个返回带自有 `kind` 的 `card: 'web'` 视图的 `presentResult`；新增第三个 `kind` 是一次联合类型编辑加前端的分岔，而非一个新的 card 标签。
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**两个 card 标签（`web-search`、`web-fetch`）。** 否决：它在每个 card 消费者处为一个视觉族翻倍分支数，而两个形状已共享得够多（一个带回退内容的带标题检索卡片），`kind` 判别无需第二个标签即可表达差异。
+
+**在 `presentResult` 里重新解析 render 文本，而非投影 meta。** 对 `web_search` 否决：render 的来源列表是有损的（title 或 hostname 标签，snippet 与日期拼进自由文本），因此重新解析无法忠实恢复结构化字段。`presentationMeta` 是唯一保留它们的途径。
+
+**把抓取正文放进 meta，或把结果内容复制进任一视图。** 否决：正文已是结果内容中面向模型的 markdown，把它复制进 meta 或视图的 `content` 字段会为无收益的目的翻倍持久化或投递载荷；不具备 `web` 能力的 UI 回退到既有的结果内容，那是相同的文本。
+
+## Testing
+
+`packages/web/tool-web/tests/tool-web.spec.ts` 覆盖以下内容，满足按文件 100% 的门禁：`searchMetaFromValue`/`fetchMetaFromValue` 投影，含对缺席可选字段的省略，以及抓取 `truncated` 投影在仅输出上限截断正文时、以及在毫无截断时都与 render 脚注一致；`searchMetaFromResult`/`fetchMetaFromResult` 收窄，含一次往返与每种畸形形状的拒绝（非对象、字段类型错误、畸形来源条目）以及空来源列表的接受；`presentSearchResult`/`presentFetchResult` 类型化视图，含从参数派生的 title、无 `content` 副本、truncated 信号、错误结果回退与畸形 meta 回退；以及两次真实注册表执行，断言工具把 meta 投影到 `result.meta` 上，其注册的 `presentResult` 推导出 `card: 'web'` 视图。

 Context and agent-dispatch calls contribute only finite string-literal event sets. Direct `EventsService.dispatch()` calls recover the event slot through array literals, constant aliases, conditional branches, and resolved call sites of non-exported local helpers. Generic forwarding parameters are not concrete producers: attribution stays with the call sites that supply a closed event value.
 
+Semantic queries run only where a branch can consume them: calls are prefiltered by the closed event-API method-name set before receiver classification, and helper call sites are indexed on demand instead of eagerly resolving every call in every package source. The demand-driven index proves locality per helper — a helper that is non-exported, sits in a real ES module, and whose every same-file reference is a direct callee has all of its calls in that file by module scoping, so only that file is indexed. Any unproven premise (an export modifier, a global script file, an aliasing or otherwise unclassifiable reference) falls back to the original full package-source index, which is the unchanged original semantics; the proof affects cost, never results. A lazy single global index was rejected because the helper-parameter path is reached on the current tree, so it would still pay nearly the whole `getResolvedSignature` sweep.
+
 Every declared harness event must have a discovered producer. A missing producer fails generation as dead vocabulary or an unsupported semantic dispatch shape; listener-free extension points remain valid. `internal/dispatch` instrumentation is not treated as a subscription to every event it observes, so the matrix contains direct product listeners rather than manually asserted indirect relationships.

 Context 与 AgentEventDispatch 调用只贡献有限的字符串字面量事件集合。对于直接调用 `EventsService.dispatch()` 的路径，生成器会沿数组字面量、常量别名、条件分支和未导出本地辅助函数的已解析调用点恢复事件槽位。泛型转发参数不算作具体生产方：事件仍归属于传入封闭事件值的调用点。
 
+语义查询只在存在消费分支的位置运行：调用先经过封闭的事件 API 方法名集合预过滤，再做接收者分类；辅助函数调用点索引按需构建，而不是预先对全部包源码的每个调用求解签名。需求式索引对每个辅助函数逐一证明局部性——未导出、位于真正的 ES 模块文件中、且同文件所有引用都是直接调用位的辅助函数，按模块作用域规则其全部调用必在本文件内，此时只索引该文件。任一前提无法证明（带导出修饰符、位于全局 script 文件、存在别名化或无法归类的引用）即回退到原全部包源码索引，回退路径就是原语义本身：证明只影响开销，不影响结果。惰性单一全局索引方案被否决，因为当前源码树确实会走到辅助函数参数路径，该方案仍需支付几乎全额的 `getResolvedSignature` 扫描成本。

 每个已声明的 harness 事件都必须存在扫描得到的生产方。找不到生产方时，生成过程会将其视为无调用方的事件词汇或尚不支持的语义 dispatch 形态并明确失败；没有监听方的扩展点仍然合法。`internal/dispatch` 插桩不会被当作它所观察的每个事件的订阅，因此关系矩阵只记录直接的产品监听方，不再手工补充间接关系。

+## Problem
+
+`apps/cli/config/tui.cordis.yml` gained the `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui/prompt` entry without a matching tsconfig `paths` mapping. The generic `@deepseek-ai/dsh-*` wildcard substitutes `tui/prompt` whole into its `<group>/*/src` candidates, none of which exist, so the [tsx source launch](../architecture/2026-07-29-dsh-source-launch-tsx-esm.md) fell back to package `exports` and resolved `lib/prompt.js` — an artifact-plane file. Every environment with a built `lib/` (developer trees after `pnpm build`) booted fine, and the e2e workflow runs the keyless TUI PTY smoke in `lib` mode (`DSH_EXAMPLE_MODE=lib`, built bin under plain Node) so CI never exercises the source vector at all — while every clean checkout failed `pnpm dsh` at startup with `plugin(s) failed to load: @deepseek-ai/dsh-tui/prompt`. No gate checked the source plane, so the breakage shipped silently and surfaced only in fresh worktrees.
+
+## Decision
+
+`scripts/verify-cordis-config.ts` (`validateSourcePlaneResolution`) requires every configured specifier of a local workspace package — harness packages and vendored Cordis alike — to resolve through the `tsconfig.base.json` `paths` facade to a `.ts`/`.tsx` source file, using `ts.resolveModuleName` from the repository root. A failed resolution or a `.d.ts` hit (the `exports` fallback into built `lib/types`) fails `verify-cordis-config`, naming the config files and the specifier. The missing `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui/prompt` mapping is added next to the other explicit subpath entries; removing it reproduces the gate failure.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Rely on the keyless TUI PTY smoke.** In default source mode it boots the real tree through the source vector and does catch the failure — but only on a clean tree. CI's e2e workflow runs it exclusively in `lib` mode (the built bin resolving real package `exports`), so no CI line runs the source vector, and developer trees with a stale `lib/` stay masked locally. Adding a source-mode CI smoke proves one composition per run; the static gate covers every shipped and example config.
+
+**Broaden the `dsh-source-launch-smoke` compat test to full boot.** The node-compat smoke asserts only the TTY refusal, which happens before plugin loading. A full keyless boot per matrix line duplicates the PTY smoke at higher cost and, like it, proves one composition rather than every shipped and example config.
+
+**A `@deepseek-ai/dsh-*/prompt`-style wildcard mapping.** Fixes this one subpath but not the class; the next single-file subpath export (`/surface`, `/message`, …) regresses identically. The static gate covers all current and future configured specifiers.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- A configured workspace specifier that resolves only through built `lib/` is now a red `verify-cordis-config` (in `hygiene` and CI) instead of a clean-tree-only startup crash.
+- New single-file subpath exports referenced from a cordis.yml need an explicit `tsconfig.base.json` `paths` entry at introduction time; the gate message says so.
+- The gate resolves with `tsconfig.base.json` options only; a specifier needing client-only compiler options to resolve would fail it, which matches the facade's role as the single resolution surface for tsx and vitest.

+# Agent Note: verify-cordis-config 对配置中插件的源码面解析实施门禁
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-30-cordis-config-source-plane-resolution-gate.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+`apps/cli/config/tui.cordis.yml` 新增了 `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui/prompt` 配置项，却没有对应的 tsconfig `paths` 映射。通用的 `@deepseek-ai/dsh-*` 通配符会把 `tui/prompt` 整体代入其 `<group>/*/src` 候选路径，而这些路径全都不存在，因此 [tsx 源码启动](../architecture/2026-07-29-dsh-source-launch-tsx-esm.md)会回退到包（package）的 `exports`，解析出产物面文件 `lib/prompt.js`。任何带有已构建 `lib/` 的环境（开发者目录树运行 `pnpm build` 后）都能正常启动，而 e2e 工作流以 `lib` 模式（`DSH_EXAMPLE_MODE=lib`，构建产物 bin 在普通 Node 下运行）执行无密钥 TUI PTY 冒烟测试，因此 CI 根本不会经过源码启动向量——与此同时，所有干净检出环境中的 `pnpm dsh` 都会在启动时失败，并报错 `plugin(s) failed to load: @deepseek-ai/dsh-tui/prompt`。当时没有门禁检查源码面，因此该故障未被发现便进入发布版本，仅在新的 worktree 中暴露。
+
+## 决策
+
+`scripts/verify-cordis-config.ts`（`validateSourcePlaneResolution`）要求配置中凡是引用本地 workspace 包的模块说明符（包括 harness 包与纳入 vendor 的 Cordis）都必须通过 `tsconfig.base.json` 的 `paths` 外观层（facade）解析到 `.ts`/`.tsx` 源文件；解析以仓库根目录为起点，调用 `ts.resolveModuleName` 完成。解析失败或命中 `.d.ts`（即经 `exports` 回退到构建出的 `lib/types`）都会使 `verify-cordis-config` 失败，并列出配置文件与模块说明符。缺失的 `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui/prompt` 映射已添加在其他显式子路径条目旁；删除该映射即可复现门禁失败。
+
+## 备选方案
+
+**依赖无密钥 TUI PTY 冒烟测试。** 在默认源码模式下，该测试通过源码向量启动真实目录树，确实能捕获这个故障，但仅限干净目录树。CI 的 e2e 工作流只以 `lib` 模式运行它（构建产物 bin 通过真实的包 `exports` 解析），因此没有任何 CI 环节执行源码向量，而带有过期 `lib/` 的开发者目录树在本地也仍被掩盖。为 CI 增加一个源码模式冒烟测试，每次也只能证明一种组合；静态门禁则覆盖所有随产品发布的配置与示例配置。
+
+**将 `dsh-source-launch-smoke` 兼容性测试扩展为完整启动。** node-compat 冒烟测试只断言 TTY 拒绝，而该拒绝发生在插件加载之前。每条矩阵版本线都执行一次完整的无密钥启动，会以更高成本重复 PTY 冒烟测试，而且同样只能验证一种组合，无法覆盖所有随产品发布的配置与示例配置。
+
+**使用类似 `@deepseek-ai/dsh-*/prompt` 的通配符映射。** 这能修复当前子路径，却不能杜绝这一类问题；下一个单文件子路径导出（`/surface`、`/message` 等）仍会以同样方式复发。静态门禁覆盖当前及未来配置中引用的所有模块说明符。
+
+## 结果
+
+- 配置中的 workspace 模块说明符若只能通过构建后的 `lib/` 解析，现在会导致 `verify-cordis-config` 门禁失败（在 `hygiene` 和 CI 中执行），而不再成为只在干净目录树中出现的启动崩溃。
+- cordis.yml 中引用新的单文件子路径导出时，必须同步为 `tsconfig.base.json` 添加显式 `paths` 条目；门禁消息会明确提示这一要求。
+- 门禁只使用 `tsconfig.base.json` 的选项执行解析；如果某个模块说明符需要仅客户端可用的编译器选项才能解析，门禁就会失败。这符合该外观层作为 tsx 与 vitest 唯一解析入口的定位。

+# Agent Note: Independent CI consumer build
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-30-independent-ci-consumer-build.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+The [larger-runner topology](2026-07-22-evidence-based-larger-hosted-runners.md) gave the static and built-consumer inventories separate jobs, but the static job owned their shared build. It uploaded the emitted tree only after every static gate completed, and the consumer job declared a job-level dependency before restoring that tree. Compiled-output snapshots and publication checks genuinely require a complete build; they do not require runtime-closure checks, documentation generation, module-graph verification, or Knip.
+
+That wider dependency made runner availability part of the required critical chain. In one failover run, static waited 8 minutes 1 second for a runner and ran for 1 minute 41 seconds; only then could consumers enter the same shared pool, where they waited another 10 minutes 34 seconds before running for 1 minute 58 seconds. Reusing the static build saved repository work but serialized two independent runner allocations.
+
+## Decision
+
+The three required Linux jobs enter runner allocation independently. Coverage remains source-only. Static owns source and documentation checks that do not consume emitted output. The consumer job owns the single Linux build together with documentation typechecking, compiled-output snapshots, publication checks, NodeNext checks, and built-bin smokes.
+
+The consumer's internal gate graph preserves the real dependency. Build and source-only Node compatibility start first; publint waits for build, built-package invariants validate that publication view, and every compiled-output consumer waits for that validation. Example and Web snapshots therefore continue to exercise current `lib/` output under plain Node, while no GitHub job waits for an unrelated job or transfers a built-tree artifact.
+
+Windows and serial reference aggregates retain their own build ownership. The change is confined to the required pull-request Linux topology; `all checks passed` still aggregates the same named jobs and fails for any unsuccessful dependency.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Keep publishing the static job's build.** This preserves one build but cannot express the actual step-level dependency: GitHub makes the consumer wait for the whole static job before it can request a runner. The saved build time is smaller than the repeated queue delay during failover saturation.
+
+**Build independently in both jobs.** Removing the job dependency while leaving build in static would restore parallel allocation, but every pull request would compile the same tree twice. Moving documentation typechecking and build ownership to the consumer preserves one build.
+
+**Add a dedicated build job.** A narrow producer would make the dependency name accurate, but it would add a fourth setup and runner-allocation stage before consumers. The consumer already owns every long-lived use of emitted output, so a separate producer has no second independent consumer.
+
+**Combine static and consumers only during failover.** One long job would avoid the second allocation, but conditional job inventories and result aggregation would create a second CI topology. Independent jobs preserve the same graph on hosted and failover pools.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Static and consumer queue delays overlap instead of accumulating. The consumer's active time includes the build, while the static job becomes shorter and artifact upload, download, compression, and extraction disappear. Total Linux build count remains one.
+
+A static failure no longer prevents the consumer inventory from producing its own evidence; the final verdict still fails. Build and documentation-typecheck failures appear under `node 24 / snapshots and artifacts` rather than `node 24 / static`, matching the job that owns their output dependency.

+# Agent Note: 消费方独立构建
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-30-independent-ci-consumer-build.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+[大型运行器拓扑](2026-07-22-evidence-based-larger-hosted-runners.md)将静态门禁清单和构建后消费方清单分配给不同作业，但二者共用的构建由静态作业负责。静态作业要等所有静态门禁完成后才上传生成的目录树，消费方作业则在恢复该目录树前声明了作业级依赖。基于编译输出的快照与发布校验确实需要完整构建，但不依赖运行时依赖闭包检查、文档生成、模块图验证或 Knip。
+
+这项过宽的依赖使运行器可用性成为必需关键链的一环。一次故障切换运行中，静态作业等待运行器 8 分 1 秒，随后运行 1 分 41 秒；直到此时，消费方作业才能进入同一个共享池，它又等待 10 分 34 秒，随后运行 1 分 58 秒。复用静态作业的构建省去了部分仓库工作，却让两次原本相互独立的运行器分配串行发生。
+
+## 决策
+
+3 个必需 Linux 作业分别进入运行器分配。覆盖率仍只消费源码。静态作业负责无需消费生成输出的源码检查与文档检查。消费方作业负责唯一一次 Linux 构建，以及文档类型检查、基于编译输出的快照、发布校验、NodeNext 检查和 built-bin 冒烟测试。
+
+消费方内部的门禁图保留实际依赖关系。构建和只消费源码的 Node 兼容性检查率先启动；publint 等待构建完成，已构建包不变式检查会验证该发布视图，所有编译输出消费方都等待这项验证完成。因此，示例和 Web 快照仍会在普通 Node 下验证当前 `lib/` 输出；同时，没有任何 GitHub 作业需要等待无关作业或传输已构建目录树产物。
+
+Windows 与串行参考聚合流程仍各自负责自身构建。本变更仅涉及拉取请求的必需 Linux 拓扑；`all checks passed` 仍聚合同一批具名作业，任一依赖未成功时都会失败。
+
+## 曾考虑的替代方案
+
+**继续发布静态作业的构建。** 此方案只需构建一次，却无法表达实际的步骤级依赖：GitHub 会让消费方等到整个静态作业结束后才可请求运行器。故障切换池饱和时，再次排队的延迟超过了省下的构建时间。
+
+**在两个作业中分别独立构建。** 在静态作业中保留构建、同时移除作业依赖，可以恢复并行分配，但每个拉取请求都会对同一目录树编译两次。将文档类型检查和构建职责移给消费方，则仍只需构建一次。
+
+**新增专用构建作业。** 职责单一的生产方能让依赖名称与实际关系相符，但会在消费方之前新增第 4 个需要设置和分配运行器的阶段。所有需要持续使用生成输出的任务都已由消费方作业负责，因此单独增设生产方也没有第二个相互独立的消费方。
+
+**仅在故障切换期间合并静态作业与消费方作业。** 单个长作业可以避免第二次分配，但带条件分支的作业清单与结果聚合会形成第二套 CI 拓扑。独立作业能让托管池与故障切换池使用同一作业图。
+
+## 后果
+
+静态作业与消费方作业的排队延迟会相互重叠，不再累加。消费方的活动耗时包含构建；静态作业则变短，产物上传、下载、压缩和解压步骤全部消失。Linux 构建总次数仍为 1 次。
+
+静态作业失败不再阻止消费方清单生成自身证据；最终判定仍会失败。构建与文档类型检查失败会归入 `node 24 / snapshots and artifacts` 而非 `node 24 / static`，这一归类与输出依赖的实际归属一致。

+# Agent Note: One shared base config with per-surface overlays
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-29-shared-base-config-overlays.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+`dsh` shipped two full config trees that were 43 rows the same. `apps/cli/cordis.yml` composed the web surface as 74 flat rows, while the TUI booted `examples/tui-agent/cordis.yml`, whose single `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui-demo` row mounted twelve plugins and re-declared their configuration as its own twenty-key pass-through `Config`.
+
+Neither file was what its location claimed. `examples/tui-agent` was not an example: `apps/cli/src/tui.ts` hardcoded it as the product's default config, and it owned the TUI PTY smoke, the eight terminal snapshot scenarios, and the PTY harness the `cordis-agent` leaf imported. `dsh-tui-demo` was not a demo either — it was the application, mounted by the shipped binary from `packages/examples/`.
+
+The duplication was the load-bearing problem. Of the 43 shared rows, 38 were byte-identical and 5 differed for a defensible per-surface reason, so every capability change had to be made twice and could silently drift. The bundle also inverted a default: `composeTuiApp` read `config.goals ?? {}`, so the shipped TUI mounted goals, `tool-goal`, `goal-session`, and `/goal` although no config key requested them.
+
+## Decision
+
+One shared base, one overlay per surface, composed as sibling patch lists.
+
+`apps/cli/config/base.cordis.yml` holds the 43 rows both surfaces mount. `apps/cli/config/tui.cordis.yml` and `apps/cli/config/web.cordis.yml` are **patch lists**, not trees: each states the handful of rows whose value is surface-specific and inserts its own rows. The launcher includes the base once and applies every overlay as a sibling patch list at **one** include level, because include patches never cross an include boundary — stacking overlays as nested includes would silently stop reaching base rows.
+
+Precedence is list order, last write winning per row: base, then the surface overlay, then either a `--config` overlay or the personal `~/.dsh/config.yaml`, then the launcher's own flag and profile patches.
+
+`--config <path>` now applies an overlay **instead of** the personal overlay, so a demo or test tree never inherits the user's provider and model. `--config-replace <path>` boots a file as the entire tree, bypassing base, surface overlay, and personal overlay alike; that is what the old `--config` did, so trees like `examples/web-cordis` moved to the new flag. Both flags survive the `/resume` execve handoff, or resuming would silently change the agent.
+
+A patch replaces its target row's whole `config` rather than merging, which shapes the split: a row whose value differs per surface lives in the overlays, never in the base, so no row is patched by three layers at once. Session identity therefore cannot ride a config key at all — it moved to `dsh-agent-loop`'s `CONFIGURED_AGENT_IDENTITIES_KEY`, as [the launcher-owned identity note](../architecture/2026-07-28-launcher-owned-resume-identity.md) now records.
+
+`examples/tui-agent`, `examples/cordis-agent`, `examples/code-mode`, and `packages/examples/tui-demo` are deleted. The TUI tests move to `apps/cli/tests/`, the cordis-toolset e2e to `packages/cordis/tool-cordis/tests/`, and the supported Code Mode demo remains the ACP overlay at `examples/acp-agent/code-mode.cordis.yml`.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Leave both trees flat and duplicated.** Rejected: 43 rows maintained twice is the defect, and a gate asserting they stay identical would freeze the duplication rather than remove it.
+
+**Nest the overlays as includes (`code-mode` → `tui` → `base`).** Rejected after testing the Loader: patches do not cross an include boundary, so the outer file's patches are dropped with only a warning. A three-level chain left `tools` unpatchable, and a base behind one include made every personal patch a silent no-op.
+
+**Put the union of all rows in the base and have each overlay disable what it does not want.** Rejected: the base stops meaning "shared", and each surface carries rows it exists only to switch off.
+
+**Keep the per-surface rows in the base and let overlays patch them.** Adopted only for the five rows that must exist in both trees, because a patch cannot create a row. Their base entries carry the plugin name and the config both surfaces share; each overlay states the rest.
+
+## Consequences
+
+An overlay or `--config` tree that named `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui-demo`, or patched the `tui-agent` row, no longer resolves. Overlays now patch the row that owns each key: the model route on `agent-loop`, the persona on `system-prompt`, presentation on `tui`.
+
+A patch whose `id` matches no row stays a no-op rather than an error. That is deliberate: one personal overlay is shared across surfaces, and `insert` rows match nothing by design, so a row that exists only under `web` must not fail the TUI's boot.
+
+`dsh web` gains `--config`, threaded into `AppCLIEntry` as an extra overlay. Web keeps sandboxed Bash and filesystem providers plus approval, permission presets, directory picking, and browser permission UI; the overlay disables the shared local providers because patches can disable rows but cannot delete them. The TUI query index uses a unique process-local temporary database because the SQLite backend requires one writer owner. It is a disposable derived index rebuilt by each process; `/resume` lists the underlying corpus directly and does not depend on index reuse. `AppCLIEntry` reads both the base and its surface overlay when recovering row defaults for its own patch merge, since a flag override must preserve the overlay's other fields on the same row.
+
+## Verification
+
+Composition is checked by booting each tree through the real Loader and inspecting settled entries, not by reading YAML; both surfaces settle with zero unloaded rows, and Web starts its `httpServer` with sandboxed Bash and filesystem providers. Code Mode remains covered by the ACP overlay and programmatic TUI snapshots rather than a separate shipped TUI application.
+
+All eight terminal snapshot scenarios replay byte-identically after moving, and the 14-case PTY smoke passes, including two cases that assert a personal overlay reaches an **inserted** row — the behavior the vendored `plugin-include` fix enables ([`vendor/README.md`](../../../../vendor/README.md) local modification 8, covered by `packages/ui/app-boot/tests/config-reload.spec.ts`).
+
+Flattening surfaced three latent defects, each fixed here: the TUI captured the optional `sessionQuery` service once at construction and so could permanently disable `/resume` when it won the mount race; the shipped session-store root silently reverted to a project-local `./.sessions`; and `--config-replace` was dropped by the resume handoff.

+# Agent Note: 一份共享 base 配置加各 surface 的 overlay
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-29-shared-base-config-overlays.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+`dsh` 交付了两棵完整的配置树，其中 43 个配置项完全相同。`apps/cli/cordis.yml` 以 74 个平铺配置项组合 web surface，而 TUI 启动的是 `examples/tui-agent/cordis.yml`——其中单独一行 `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui-demo` 挂载了十二个插件，并把它们的配置重新声明为自己那份二十个键、仅作透传的 `Config`。
+
+这两份文件都名不副实。`examples/tui-agent` 并不是示例：`apps/cli/src/tui.ts` 把它硬编码为产品的默认配置；它还拥有 TUI 的 PTY 冒烟测试、八个终端快照场景，以及被 `cordis-agent` 叶节点 import 的 PTY harness。`dsh-tui-demo` 也不是 demo——它就是应用本身，由交付的二进制从 `packages/examples/` 中挂载。
+
+真正决定性的问题是重复。43 个共享配置项中，38 个逐字节相同，5 个因各 surface 的正当理由而不同；因此每次能力改动都必须改两处，而且可能无声漂移。该组合包还反转了一个默认值：`composeTuiApp` 读取 `config.goals ?? {}`，于是交付的 TUI 挂载了 goals、`tool-goal`、`goal-session` 和 `/goal`——尽管没有任何配置键要求它们。
+
+## 决策
+
+一份共享 base，每个 surface 一份 overlay，以平级 patch 列表的形式组合。
+
+`apps/cli/config/base.cordis.yml` 持有两个 surface 都会挂载的 43 个配置项。`apps/cli/config/tui.cordis.yml` 与 `apps/cli/config/web.cordis.yml` 是 **patch 列表**，不是配置树：各自声明少数取值因 surface 而异的配置项，并 insert 自己的配置项。启动器只 include base 一次，并把每个 overlay 作为**同一** include 层级上的平级 patch 列表应用——因为 include patch 不会跨越 include 边界，把 overlay 堆叠成嵌套 include 会使其静默地无法触达 base 配置项。
+
+优先级即列表顺序，逐配置项后写者胜：base，然后是 surface overlay，接着是 `--config` overlay 或个人 `~/.dsh/config.yaml`，最后是启动器自身的 flag 与 profile patch。
+
+`--config <path>` 现在应用一个 overlay 来**取代**个人 overlay，因此 demo 或测试用的树绝不会继承用户的 provider 与 model。`--config-replace <path>` 则把某个文件作为整棵树启动，同时绕过 base、surface overlay 与个人 overlay；这正是旧 `--config` 的行为，所以像 `examples/web-cordis` 这样的树改用了新 flag。两个 flag 都会在 `/resume` 的 execve 交接中保留，否则 resume 会静默更换 agent。
+
+patch 会整体替换目标配置项的 `config` 而不合并，这决定了拆分方式：取值因 surface 而异的配置项住在 overlay 中，绝不住在 base 里，从而没有任何配置项会被三层同时 patch。因此会话身份根本不能经由配置键传递——它迁移到了 `dsh-agent-loop` 的 `CONFIGURED_AGENT_IDENTITIES_KEY`，如[启动器持有身份的 note](../architecture/2026-07-28-launcher-owned-resume-identity.md) 现在所记录。
+
+`examples/tui-agent`、`examples/cordis-agent`、`examples/code-mode` 与 `packages/examples/tui-demo` 均被删除。TUI 测试迁往 `apps/cli/tests/`，cordis 工具集的 e2e 迁入 `packages/cordis/tool-cordis/tests/`，受支持的 Code Mode demo 则保留为 `examples/acp-agent/code-mode.cordis.yml` 中的 ACP overlay。
+
+## 备选方案
+
+**保留两棵平铺且重复的树。** 拒绝：43 个配置项维护两份正是缺陷本身，而用一个门禁断言二者保持一致只会固化重复，而非消除它。
+
+**把 overlay 嵌套成 include（`code-mode` → `tui` → `base`）。** 在对 Loader 实测后拒绝：patch 不会跨越 include 边界，因此外层文件的 patch 只会伴随一条告警被丢弃。三层链条使 `tools` 无法被 patch，而位于一层 include 之后的 base，会让每个个人 patch 都变成静默的空操作。
+
+**把所有配置项的并集放进 base，由各 overlay 禁用自己不需要的部分。** 拒绝：base 将不再意味着「共享」，而每个 surface 都要携带仅为将其关闭而存在的配置项。
+
+**把因 surface 而异的配置项留在 base 中，由 overlay 去 patch。** 仅对必须同时存在于两棵树中的那五个配置项采用，因为 patch 无法创建配置项。它们在 base 中的条目携带插件名与两个 surface 共享的配置，其余部分由各 overlay 声明。
+
+## 影响
+
+指名 `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui-demo`、或 patch `tui-agent` 配置项的 overlay 与 `--config` 树将不再可解析。overlay 现在要 patch 拥有对应键的那一行：模型路由在 `agent-loop`，人设在 `system-prompt`，呈现设置在 `tui`。
+
+若某个 patch 的 `id` 不匹配任何配置项，Loader 仍只告警而不报错。这是有意为之：同一份个人 overlay 会跨 surface 共用，而 `insert` 配置项按设计本就不匹配任何目标，因此仅在 `web` 下存在的配置项不能让 TUI 启动失败。
+
+`dsh web` 新增 `--config`，作为一份额外 overlay 传入 `AppCLIEntry`。Web 保留沙箱化 Bash 与文件系统提供方，以及审批、权限预设、目录选择和浏览器权限界面；覆盖层会禁用共享的本地提供方，因为补丁可以禁用条目但不能删除条目。TUI 查询索引使用进程唯一的临时数据库，因为 SQLite 后端要求单写入者所有权。该索引是每个进程重新构建的可丢弃派生数据；`/resume` 直接列出底层语料，不依赖索引复用。`AppCLIEntry` 在为自身 patch 合并恢复配置项默认值时会同时读取 base 与其 surface overlay，因为 flag 覆盖必须保留同一配置项上 overlay 的其他字段。
+
+## 验证
+
+组合的正确性通过用真实 Loader 启动每棵树并检查已就绪的条目来核对，而不是靠阅读 YAML：两个界面都能稳定完成且没有未加载项；Web 会以沙箱化 Bash 与文件系统提供方启动 `httpServer`。Code Mode 继续由 ACP overlay 与程序化 TUI 快照覆盖，而不再维护独立交付的 TUI 应用。
+
+全部八个终端快照场景在迁移后逐字节重放一致，14 个用例的 PTY 冒烟测试全部通过，其中两个用例断言个人 overlay 能触达一个 **insert 进来的**配置项——这正是 vendored `plugin-include` 修复所启用的行为（[`vendor/README.md`](../../../../vendor/README.md) 本地修改第 8 条，由 `packages/ui/app-boot/tests/config-reload.spec.ts` 覆盖）。
+
+平铺过程暴露出三处潜伏缺陷，均在此一并修复：TUI 曾在构造时一次性捕获可选的 `sessionQuery` 服务，因此在挂载竞争中胜出时会永久禁用 `/resume`；交付的会话存储根目录曾静默退回项目本地的 `./.sessions`；`--config-replace` 曾在 resume 交接中被丢弃。

 No single-shot transient-DOM assertions: every hop from replay yield to React commit can coalesce chunks, so sampling `[data-streaming]` is a race by construction. Streaming incrementality is asserted from the persisted `assistant/chunk` events (model-visible ⟺ logged makes the log the authoritative proof). `dsh-llm-replay`'s opt-in `paceMs` (default absent = burst) is a realism knob so the browser observes genuinely incremental SSE; correctness never leans on it, and abort during a pace wait cancels promptly.

 ### CI stance
 
-The lane ships gate-exempt inside `pnpm run test:web`, exactly as that config's header records. Adding chromium to CI would reverse the "no browser infrastructure in CI" premise in the [GUI testing note](../process/2026-07-20-gui-testing-system.md) and therefore requires its own Agent Note cross-linked from there, staged as a non-required job first with measured promotion criteria (consecutive green runs, wall time, zero-retry flake budget, runner browser-cache strategy). `TODO(ci-browser)` marks the seam. Scenarios are POSIX-oriented (the lane is not in the Windows matrix).
+The lane is a required compare-only gate for Linux pull requests under the [browser snapshot CI decision](2026-07-30-web-browser-snapshot-ci-gate.md). The `node 24 / snapshots and artifacts` consumer job owns the [single Linux build](../process/2026-07-30-independent-ci-consumer-build.md), installs the lockfile-selected Chromium, restores its OS-and-lockfile-keyed cache, and runs the lane with `DSH_SNAPSHOT=replay`. This is an intentional plane split: the host and specs use the [tsx source-launch contract](../architecture/2026-07-29-dsh-source-launch-tsx-esm.md), while the browser consumes `apps/web/dist` and package `lib/client.js` artifacts, so the gate depends on `built-package-invariants` for those client artifacts. The hosted and self-hosted default-branch Linux serial jobs run the same gate; the hosted job produces the browser cache consumed by pull requests, while the persistent self-hosted pool needs no hosted cache. CI never records or refreshes goldens. Scenarios remain POSIX-oriented and stay outside the Windows and macOS matrices.

Following the TUI scrub-everywhere precedent; revisit when the web assembly's header diverges from the repl composition it mirrors.
-- **CI browser provisioning**: reversal of the no-browser-in-CI ruling, staged criteria above (`TODO(ci-browser)`).
 - **Follow-up-prompt-after-resume scenario**: the history/live stitch path over the real wire; add as its own scenario when that code changes or regresses.
 - **Web error surface**: the client consumes no `agent/error` frames and a pre-chunk failure freezes no partial, so a non-retryable provider failure renders no error copy — the user sees the send simply stop. The AUTH scenario pins the current contract (no crash, composer recovers, turn logged `error`) and `FIXME(web-error-surface)` marks where visible error text gets asserted once the UI grows an error rendering.
 - **Composer steering gesture**: the input locks while running (stop-or-wait), so the steering scenario steers over the wire from the page; `TODO(web-steer-composer)` upgrades the drive step to a real composer gesture when the product grows one.

Costs accepted: every intentional conversation-UI change ends with a keyless `DSH_SNAPSHOT=refresh` (golden churn is reviewed diff, anchors keep semantic green); the aria format is Playwright-owned — the one committed snapshot format the repo does not control — so playwright version bumps must be deliberate bump-and-refresh commits (the dependency floats `^1.49.0` in `apps/web/package.json`; pin exactly if churn bites); replay's first-call-order binding constrains scenarios to one prompting session each, with the consumption assertion as the tripwire; `compact-basic` shares the session's replay cursor and stays inert only under the published 128k catalog window; and the lane guards regressions only where it runs (locally, `test:web`) until the CI reversal is separately decided.

+# Agent Note: Required CI gate for web browser expected outputs
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-30-web-browser-snapshot-ci-gate.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+The [keyless web browser e2e lane](2026-07-24-web-gui-browser-e2e-lane.md) runs only under the local `pnpm run test:web` command, and PR CI does not compare `apps/web/tests/snapshots/**/*.expected.md`. A PR that changes user-visible web output can therefore remain green when its expected outputs are not refreshed; when any later branch explicitly runs `DSH_SNAPSHOT=refresh`, it backfills the earlier change and produces a diff unrelated to that branch. Ordinary local runs already default to read-only replay, so the gap is mandatory enforcement at the PR level, not a ban on writes in refresh mode.
+
+## Decision
+
+For Linux PRs, the `node 24 / snapshots and artifacts` job must run the full web browser replay/compare suite. `scripts/run-gates.ts` registers `test:web:built` as a `ci-consumers` gate and explicitly injects `DSH_SNAPSHOT=replay`; CI never runs in `record` or `refresh` mode, so when the committed goldens disagree with the currently assembled application, the tests fail directly instead of silently rewriting them on the runner and then passing.
+
+The consumer job owns the [single Linux build](../process/2026-07-30-independent-ci-consumer-build.md), so `apps/web/dist` and the package `lib/` directories remain in its workspace for the browser suite. On hosted runners, CI installs Chromium and its system dependencies at the Playwright version in the lockfile. On the persistent failover VM, the image owns the Linux system packages and CI installs only Chromium, avoiding per-run `apt` mutation. The hosted default-branch Linux serial job runs the suite and produces the operating-system-and-lockfile-keyed browser cache; pull requests restore it without paying compression and upload on the required path, with an operating-system prefix fallback across lockfile changes. The self-hosted standby runs the same comparison without hosted cache actions.
+
+Local `pnpm run test:web` continues to build first and then run the full browser suite; `test:web:built` is the entry point for existing build artifacts. Developers explicitly run `DSH_SNAPSHOT=refresh pnpm run test:web` only after confirming that user-visible output changed intentionally, review every expected-output diff, and then verify again in replay mode that no files are written.
+
+For pull requests, the gate runs only in the Linux consumer job: these scenarios target POSIX, and the other PR jobs do not provision Chromium. The hosted and self-hosted default-branch Linux serial aggregates also include the comparison, while the macOS and Windows serial jobs remain browser-free. A PR's `all checks passed` verdict already depends on the consumer job, so a browser compare failure blocks the merge without requiring a new branch-protection check name.
+
+An observed self-hosted consumer run measured `web-snapshot` at 112.15 seconds and the full consumer aggregate at 114.97 seconds. The gate scheduler starts it as soon as `built-package-invariants` succeeds and runs independent gates concurrently, so it needs neither a dedicated job timeout nor a manual YAML ordering rule.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Continue requiring only local runs.** Rejected: execution depends on developer memory, which is precisely why stale goldens drift across PRs, and cannot guarantee that the PR introducing a behavior change carries its own expected-output diff.
+
+**Run CI in `refresh` mode and then check the working tree.** Rejected: checking after writing turns the assertion mechanism into a generator; if the working-tree check is wired incorrectly, it can turn a regression into a passing expected-output update. Replay compares the existing goldens directly and has a smaller failure surface.
+
+**Create a standalone browser job and rebuild the entire repository.** Rejected: it would duplicate dependency installation and the publishable build. The existing Linux consumer job already owns that build and is part of the unified required verdict.
+
+**Replace real Chromium with jsdom snapshots.** Rejected: jsdom does not cover the browser, HTTP/SSE carriage, or the composition of real client plugin bundles. It remains useful for fast lower-layer feedback, but cannot replace the assembled browser chain.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Before merge, every PR proves that the current web assembly matches all committed browser expected outputs, turning a missed refresh from an “unrelated change in a later PR” into a failure in the PR that introduced it. The cost is Chromium provisioning and one serial pass through the browser scenarios in the consumer job; the consumer-owned build and browser cache avoid duplicate builds and downloads on reruns. The gate still makes no claim of cross-platform browser consistency, and if a Playwright/Chromium upgrade changes the ARIA format, the upgrade PR must explicitly refresh the expected outputs and review the churn.

+# Agent Note: Web 浏览器预期输出的必需 CI 门禁
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-30-web-browser-snapshot-ci-gate.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+[无密钥 Web 浏览器 e2e 车道](2026-07-24-web-gui-browser-e2e-lane.md)只由本地 `pnpm run test:web` 运行，PR CI 不比较 `apps/web/tests/snapshots/**/*.expected.md`。因此，改变用户可见 Web 输出的 PR 可以在漏刷预期输出时保持绿色；后来任意分支显式运行 `DSH_SNAPSHOT=refresh`，都会替前序变更补账并产生与本分支无关的 diff。普通本地运行已经默认使用只读 replay，缺口是 PR 级的强制执行，而不是禁止 refresh 写入。
+
+## 决策
+
+Linux PR 的 `node 24 / snapshots and artifacts` 必须运行完整 Web 浏览器 replay/compare。`scripts/run-gates.ts` 把 `test:web:built` 作为 `ci-consumers` 的一个 gate，并显式注入 `DSH_SNAPSHOT=replay`；CI 永不以 `record` 或 `refresh` 模式运行，因此提交的 golden 与当前组装应用不一致时测试直接失败，不会在 runner 内静默改写后通过。
+
+消费方 job 在[消费方独立构建](../process/2026-07-30-independent-ci-consumer-build.md)中负责唯一一次 Linux 构建，因此 `apps/web/dist` 和包的 `lib/` 目录会保留在其工作区中，供浏览器套件使用。在托管运行器上，CI 按锁文件中的 Playwright 版本安装 Chromium 及其系统依赖。在持久化故障切换 VM 上，镜像负责预装 Linux 系统软件包，CI 只安装 Chromium，避免每次运行都通过 `apt` 改动系统。托管的默认分支 Linux 串行 job 运行该套件，并生成以操作系统和锁文件为键的浏览器缓存；PR 恢复该缓存，使必需路径无需承担压缩和上传开销，并可在锁文件变化时按操作系统前缀回退。自托管热备运行相同的比较，但不执行托管缓存操作。
+
+本地 `pnpm run test:web` 仍先构建再运行浏览器全集；`test:web:built` 是已有构建产物的执行入口。开发者只在确认用户可见输出有意变化后显式运行 `DSH_SNAPSHOT=refresh pnpm run test:web`，评审每一处 expected diff，再以 replay 模式复验不再写文件。
+
+对 PR 而言，门禁仅在 Linux 消费方 job 中运行：这些场景面向 POSIX，其他 PR job 不供给 Chromium。托管和自托管的默认分支 Linux 串行聚合作业也包含该比较，而 macOS 和 Windows 串行 job 仍不使用浏览器。PR 的 `all checks passed` 已依赖消费方 job，因此浏览器比较失败会阻止合并，无需新增 branch-protection check 名称。
+
+一次自托管消费方运行中，`web-snapshot` 实测耗时 112.15 秒，完整消费方聚合实测耗时 114.97 秒。gate 调度器会在 `built-package-invariants` 成功后立即启动它，并发运行彼此独立的 gate，因此既不需要专用 job 超时，也不需要手动制定 YAML 顺序规则。
+
+## 曾考虑的替代方案
+
+**继续只要求本地运行。** 已否决：执行依赖开发者记忆，正是旧 golden 跨 PR 漂移的原因，不能保证产生行为变化的 PR 自己携带 expected diff。
+
+**让 CI 以 `refresh` 模式运行后检查工作树。** 已否决：写后比较把断言机制变成生成器，若工作树检查接线失效就会把回归更新成绿色；replay 直接比较已有 golden，失败面更小。
+
+**新建独立 browser job 并重新构建全仓。** 已否决：它会重复依赖安装和发布构建。现有 Linux 消费方 job 已负责该构建，并已被统一的 required verdict 聚合。
+
+**用 jsdom 快照代替真实 Chromium。** 已否决：jsdom 不覆盖浏览器、HTTP/SSE 承载及真实 client plugin bundle 组合；它保留为快速的下层反馈，不能替代 assembled browser chain。

 The persisted projection cache ([RFC](2026-07-27-session-projection-and-command-log.md), shipped as `dsh-session-projection-cache`) surfaced two gaps in the storage substrate it landed on. Both are properties of the domain-KV stack ([design](2026-07-24-domain-kv-storage-and-workspace.md)), not of the cache itself, and both bite the cache first because it is the first *derived* medium on that stack.
 
-**Where the files actually live.** The shipped composition gives the json backend a relative root — `root: './.storages'` (apps/cli/cordis.yml) — and `AppCLIEntry.composePatches` patches only the session store's root to the global harness home (`$DSH_HOME/sessions`, default `~/.dsh/sessions`, profile-overridable via `persistenceRoot`); no equivalent patch or profile key exists for `storage-json`. `JsonStorageBackend` never resolves its root either — each unit open joins the still-relative path against whatever `process.cwd()` is at that moment (packages/storage/storage-json/src/index.ts) — the exact hazard the JSONL session backend resolves-once to prevent ("later process.cwd() changes cannot split one backend across roots", packages/session-persistence/session-persistence-jsonl/src/index.ts). Net effect: session logs are global across launch directories, but `workspace.json` and `session_projcache.json` land under `<launch dir>/.storages/`. Two launches from different directories share their sessions yet see different workspace registries and different projection caches — and the cache exists precisely to serve the cross-session cold listing, which now misses for every session last cached under another launch directory.
+**Where the files actually live.** The shipped Web overlay gives the json backend a relative root — `root: './.storages'` (`apps/cli/config/web.cordis.yml`) — while the shared base defaults the session store to the global harness home (`$DSH_HOME/sessions`, default `~/.dsh/sessions`); no equivalent global root exists for `storage-json`. `JsonStorageBackend` never resolves its root either — each unit open joins the still-relative path against whatever `process.cwd()` is at that moment (packages/storage/storage-json/src/index.ts) — the exact hazard the JSONL session backend resolves-once to prevent ("later process.cwd() changes cannot split one backend across roots", packages/session-persistence/session-persistence-jsonl/src/index.ts).

Two launches from different directories share their sessions yet see different workspace registries and different projection caches — and the cache exists precisely to serve the cross-session cold listing, which now misses for every session last cached under another launch directory.
 
 **How recovery works today.** Inside a healthy medium the cache is fully self-healing by design: a `stateVersion`-mismatched row is discarded and refolded, a log shrunk below a row's watermark is detected by the anchored restore floor and answered with one full re-read, and every background write is fail-soft. But at the *medium* level there is no recovery at all: a truncated, hand-edited, or version-bumped `session_projcache.json` fails `openJsonUnit` with `malformed-medium`/`version-mismatch` (packages/storage/storage-json/src/format.ts), a schema-drifted record fails domain open with `invalid-record` (packages/storage/storage-domain/src/index.ts), the rejection propagates through `SessionProjectionCache[Service.init]`, and under the CLI's fail-loud boot the assembly refuses to start. A file whose entire content is rebuildable from session logs can brick boot. This contradicts the cache package's own stated stance ("a stale or unreadable cache costs a longer tail replay, never a wrong value") and the cache domain spec's JSDoc ("version bumps discard the whole medium"), which today describes an aspiration, not the implementation. The same fail-loud path is *correct* for `workspace.json` — workspace records are authoritative, not derivable — so the missing concept is a per-domain declaration of authority, not a global behavior change.

+# Agent Note: Record last activity in the session index
+
+Status: proposed
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-29-durable-last-activity-index.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+A cold (persisted, unattached) session has no stored answer to "when was this last worked in". `dsh-host-apiproxy`'s `summarizeCold()` therefore approximates it with the log file's mtime where one exists — `locate()` resolves a per-session artifact for JSONL and `undefined` for SQLite, whose cold sessions fall back to `createdAt` — and the web client sorts its session tree by the resulting `updatedAt`. The two backends are wrong in opposite directions: JSONL reads too new, SQLite too old.
+
+mtime answers a different question: when the artifact was last written. Every durable write refreshes it, including writes that are not activity — a truncate-repair of a torn tail, the synthetic closers that balance an interrupted turn, and the [`session/end-seed` boundary](../../implemented/architecture/2026-07-30-session-end-seed-log-boundary.md) a seeded session appends. (A `flush` with nothing pending is not among them: the coordinator returns without reaching the backend.) The visible consequence is stable and wrong in one direction: a session touched without being worked in promotes itself above sessions the user actually worked in afterwards, and each touch re-promotes it. "Touched" is broader than "resumed" — `dsh-host-apiproxy`'s `agentFor()` resumes a cold session on first touch, and `sessions.history` reaches it when the web client merely opens one, so ordinary browsing is enough.
+
+The attached projection has a real fix — `lastActivityTime()` skips boundaries — but it needs the event log, and the cold path deliberately does not read one. Reading the log to compute `updatedAt` would defeat the header-only listing that keeps `list()` scaling with session count rather than log size.
+
+The [boundary change](../../implemented/architecture/2026-07-30-session-end-seed-log-boundary.md) raised the frequency of this defect, because a pickup now writes where nothing was written before; `dsh-host-apiproxy`'s README records it under Known Limitations. It did not introduce the approximation, and removing the approximation is a durable-format decision, which is why it is scoped here rather than there.
+
+## Proposal
+
+Store last-activity time where a listing already reads — the session index — so `summarizeCold()` can serve it without opening the log. The coordinator computes the value, because it sees every append and already owns per-id state; backends persist it. That makes it a new `PersistenceBackend` contract element rather than backend-local bookkeeping, and keeps one definition of "activity" shared with the in-log `lastActivityTime()`.
+
+The two shipped backends have opposite constraints, and the proposal is deliberately asymmetric about them:
+
+- **SQLite** gets a column on `sessions`, written in the same transaction as `appendBatch`, at the cost of a monotonic `SCHEMA_VERSION` bump.
+- **JSONL cannot host a mutable header field.** The header is line 1, written once during materialization, and the log is opened for append forever after; `jsonl.spec.ts` pins that committed bytes are never rewritten. A per-append header field would violate an asserted durability invariant, not merely complicate the writer. A per-session sidecar file is the shape to compare against leaving JSONL approximate.
+
+Three questions must be answered before implementation, and none of them is settled here:
+
+**Which events count as activity?** `lastActivityTime()` answers this for the log by excluding `session/end-seed`. A stored field encodes the rule at write time, where the writer sees one batch rather than the whole log. The two must not drift, or the attached and cold surfaces will disagree about the same session.
+
+**How do pre-field logs behave?** Existing artifacts have no value. Falling back to mtime keeps them at today's accuracy; falling back to `createdAt` is honest but reorders every existing session in the picker and the tree.
+
+**Is a sidecar acceptable for JSONL?** It reintroduces a second file per session that can disagree with the log, which the single-artifact design avoided.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Read the log on the cold path.** Correct by construction and needs no format change, but it defeats the header-only listing: `list()` would scale with total log size, and the web session tree fans out over every session in the store. This is the option the mtime approximation exists to avoid.
+
+**Keep mtime and exclude boundary writes from it.** Rejected as impossible rather than undesirable: mtime is the filesystem's, not the backend's. Nothing short of restoring the timestamp after every boundary write would preserve it, and that races any concurrent reader and lies about the artifact.
+
+**Write the boundary only when repair occurred.** Would reduce the frequency, and the [boundary note](../../implemented/architecture/2026-07-30-session-end-seed-log-boundary.md) already rejected it: the predicate must hold for an orderly restart too. Trading a correctness invariant for timestamp accuracy is the wrong direction.
+
+**Derive activity from a projection cache.** `session-projection-cache` already folds tails past a watermark, so a last-activity unit would ride existing machinery. Rejected as the primary shape because the cache is an optional composition entry; a listing served only when a cache plugin is mounted makes ordering depend on composition.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- `SessionSummary.updatedAt` for a cold session equals the same value the attached projection reports for that session, verified by resuming, quitting without a turn, and asserting the order is unchanged across both paths.
+- A resumed-then-abandoned session does not sort above a session worked in afterwards, in the web session tree and the TUI resume picker, pinned by an assembled snapshot rather than unit tests alone.
+- The activity rule has one definition: a test proves the stored field and `lastActivityTime()` agree over a log containing boundaries, closers, and a plain turn.
+- Pre-field artifacts load and list without error under the chosen fallback, with the fallback's ordering consequence asserted.
+- SQLite's `SCHEMA_VERSION` bump rejects the old on-disk version per the repo's no-migration stance.
+
+## Risks
+
+**Two definitions of activity drift.** The stored field is computed per batch, the projection over a whole log. A new event type classified one way at write time and the other at read time yields a session whose cold and attached orderings disagree — a bug that only appears after a restart, which is where it is hardest to notice.
+
+**A JSONL sidecar can disagree with its log.** A crash between the log append and the sidecar write leaves a stale value with no torn-tail marker to repair it. Every consumer would need to treat the sidecar as a hint, which is close to what mtime already is.
+
+**The fallback reorders existing sessions.** Whichever fallback is chosen, users with existing logs see their picker and tree reorder once on upgrade. `createdAt` makes that reordering large.
+
+**Cost may exceed the defect.** The defect is a misordering of abandoned sessions. If the honest answer for JSONL is "keep the approximation", this note's outcome may be documenting that decision rather than implementing a field — and that is an acceptable outcome.

+# Agent Note: 在会话索引中记录最后活动
+
+Status: proposed
+
+[English](2026-07-29-durable-last-activity-index.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+一个冷会话（已持久化、未附加）对「上次是什么时候在这里面工作过」没有任何已存储的答案。因此 `dsh-host-apiproxy` 的 `summarizeCold()` 在存在日志文件时用它的 mtime 来近似它——`locate()` 为 JSONL 解析出一个逐会话产物，为 SQLite 解析出 `undefined`，而 SQLite 的冷会话会回退到 `createdAt`——而 web 客户端就按由此得到的 `updatedAt` 为自己的会话树排序。这两个后端错的方向正好相反：JSONL 读出来偏新，SQLite 偏旧。
+
+mtime 回答的是另一个问题：这份产物上次是什么时候被写入的。每一次持久写入都会刷新它，包括那些并不是活动的写入：一次对撕裂尾部的截断修复、用来平衡被中断的轮次的那些合成 closer，以及带种子的会话会追加的 [`session/end-seed` 边界](../../implemented/architecture/2026-07-30-session-end-seed-log-boundary.md)。（没有待处理内容的 `flush` 不在其中：协调器在到达后端之前就返回了。）用户可见的后果是稳定的，而且只朝一个方向错：一个被触碰过却没有在里面工作过的会话，会把自己排到用户此后真正工作过的那些会话之前，而且每次触碰都会重新把它排上去一次。「触碰」比「恢复」的范围更宽——`dsh-host-apiproxy` 的 `agentFor()` 会在首次触碰时恢复一个冷会话，而 web 客户端仅仅打开一个会话时 `sessions.history` 就会到达它，因此普通的浏览就够了。
+
+已附加会话的那个投影有真正的修复办法（`lastActivityTime()` 会跳过边界），但它需要事件日志，而冷路径有意不去读日志。为计算 `updatedAt` 而读取日志，会让只读 header 的列举失去意义，而正是它让 `list()` 的开销随会话数量而非日志体量增长。
+
+[边界那次变更](../../implemented/architecture/2026-07-30-session-end-seed-log-boundary.md)提高了这个缺陷的出现频率，因为一次拾起如今会在此前完全无写入的路径上产生写入；`dsh-host-apiproxy` 的 README 已在 Known Limitations 中记录该项。它并没有引入这套近似做法，而移除这套近似是一项持久格式决策，因此它的范围划在本文，而不是那里。
+
+## 提案
+
+把最后活动时间存到列举本就会读取的地方，也就是会话索引，这样 `summarizeCold()` 无需打开日志就能给出答案。该值由协调器计算，因为它看得到每一次追加，而且本就拥有每 id 状态；由后端负责持久化。这样它就成为 `PersistenceBackend` 契约中新增的一个要素，而不是各后端本地的账目，同时让「活动」只保留一个定义，与日志内的 `lastActivityTime()` 共用。
+
+两个已交付的后端受到的约束正好相反，本提案对它们有意采取不对称的处理：
+
+- **SQLite** 在 `sessions` 表上得到一列，与 `appendBatch` 在同一个事务中写入，代价是一次单调的 `SCHEMA_VERSION` 递增。
+- **JSONL 无法承载一个可变的 header 字段。** header 就是第 1 行，在物化时一次写就，此后这份日志永远以追加方式打开；`jsonl.spec.ts` 钉住了「已提交的字节绝不重写」。一个每次追加都要改的 header 字段，违反的是一条被断言的持久性不变式，而不只是让写入方变复杂。要与「让 JSONL 保持近似」相比较的形态，是每会话一个伴随文件。
+
+实现之前必须回答三个问题，本文对它们都没有定论：
+
+**哪些事件算作活动？** 对日志而言，`lastActivityTime()` 通过排除 `session/end-seed` 回答了这个问题。一个已存储字段是在写入时编码这条规则的，而写入方在那里只看到一个批次，不是整份日志。两者不得发生漂移，否则已附加表层与冷表层会对同一个会话给出彼此矛盾的答案。
+
+**该字段引入之前的日志表现如何？** 既有产物里没有这个值。回退到 mtime 能让它们保持今天的准确度；回退到 `createdAt` 是诚实的，但会把选择器和会话树里每一个既有会话都重新排一次序。
+
+**对 JSONL 来说伴随文件可以接受吗？** 它重新引入了每会话第二个文件，而该文件可能与日志不一致，这正是单产物设计所避开的。
+
+## 考虑过的替代方案
+
+**在冷路径上读取日志。** 它按构造就是正确的，也不需要改动格式，但会让只读 header 的列举失去意义：`list()` 的开销将随日志总体量增长，而 web 会话树会扇出到存储中的每一个会话。mtime 近似的存在，正是为了避开这个选项。
+
+**保留 mtime，但把边界的写入排除在它之外。** 否决的理由是做不到，而不是不合意：mtime 属于文件系统，不属于后端。除了在每次边界写入之后把时间戳复原，没有别的办法能保住它，而那样做会与任何并发读取方产生竞态，也会对这份产物撒谎。
+
+**仅在确实发生了修复时才写入边界。** 这能降低出现频率，而[边界 Agent Note](../../implemented/architecture/2026-07-30-session-end-seed-log-boundary.md)已经否决过它：谓词对有序重启同样必须成立。用一条正确性不变式去换时间戳的准确度，方向是错的。
+
+**从投影缓存派生活动时间。** `session-projection-cache` 本就会折叠水位线之后的尾部，因此一个最后活动单元可以搭乘既有机制。它作为主形态被否决，因为该缓存是一个可选的组合项；只有挂载了缓存插件才提供的列举，会让排序取决于如何组合。
+
+## 验收标准
+
+- 冷会话的 `SessionSummary.updatedAt` 等于已附加会话的投影为同一个会话报告的那个值；验证方式是恢复、不跑轮次就退出，并断言两条路径上的顺序都没有变化。
+- 在 web 会话树和 TUI 恢复选择器中，一个恢复后即被弃置的会话不会排到此后工作过的会话之前；由一份组装后的快照钉住，而不是只靠单元测试。
+- 活动规则只有一个定义：一个测试证明，在一份同时包含边界、closer 和一个普通轮次的日志上，已存储字段与 `lastActivityTime()` 的结果一致。
+- 在选定的回退方案下，该字段引入之前的产物能够无错误地加载和列举，并且该回退在排序上的后果有断言覆盖。
+- 按本仓库不做迁移的立场，SQLite 的 `SCHEMA_VERSION` 递增会拒绝旧的磁盘版本。
+
+## 风险
+
+**「活动」的两个定义发生漂移。** 已存储字段按批次计算，而投影在整份日志上计算。一种新事件类型若在写入时按一种方式归类、在读取时按另一种方式归类，就会产生一个冷排序与已附加排序彼此矛盾的会话；这个缺陷只在重启之后才显现，而那正是最难被注意到的地方。
+
+**JSONL 的伴随文件可能与它的日志不一致。** 在日志追加与伴随文件写入之间发生崩溃，会留下一个陈旧的值，而且没有撕裂尾部标记可用来修复它。每个消费方都得把伴随文件当作一条提示来对待，而这与 mtime 今天的地位已经很接近了。
+
+**回退方案会让既有会话重新排序。** 无论选定哪种回退，持有既有日志的用户都会在升级时看到自己的选择器和会话树重新排一次序。选 `createdAt` 会让这次重排的幅度很大。
+
+**代价可能超过这个缺陷本身。** 该缺陷是被弃置会话的排序出错。如果对 JSONL 来说诚实的答案是「保留这套近似」，那么本文的结局可能是记录下这个决定，而不是实现一个字段，而这也是一个可以接受的结局。

+# Agent Note: Record the resume process boundary in the session log
+
+Status: rejected — the boundary belongs at the seeded-`Session` constructor, which also covers fork and replay; superseded by [the end-seed boundary](../../implemented/architecture/2026-07-30-session-end-seed-log-boundary.md)
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-29-session-resumed-log-boundary.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+A session's durable log gave no evidence that it had changed processes. `session/created`, `session/disposed`, and `session/flush` are cordis runtime signals rather than `SessionEventMap` members, and `agent/session-start` carries a `SessionStartSource` but is emit-only and never logged. Reading a stored log therefore gave no hint that anything had been resumed.
+
+That gap makes one class of question unanswerable. A plugin that owns a standalone open/close pair in the log — compaction's `compact/start` … `compact/end` is the only one today — must distinguish an unmatched opening marker left by a process that died mid-operation from one an operation is holding right now. Those two states are **byte-identical in stored history**. Without a boundary the owner has to choose between refusing forever (an unmatched marker wedges the operation permanently, and because automatic compaction failure is warn-and-continue the user-visible result is that compaction silently stops working until the context window overflows) and proceeding always (which defeats the point of holding a lock).
+
+The pressure to fix this is immediate: moving `compact/start` to its real time point, before summarization, widens the crash window from a few microseconds of synchronous appends to the length of a whole model call, so orphaned brackets go from rare to routine.
+
+## Proposal
+
+`@deepseek-ai/dsh-session-persistence` declares one log-only `session/resumed` with an empty payload and appends exactly one at the end of every cold load, in the same `commitRepair` batch as any crash-repair closers and positioned after them — so every event before the boundary has a smaller seq and was written by a writer that is no longer tracking this log. Ownership lands narrowly on `loadCore()`, the cold-load path reached by `load()` and by `adopt()`. `loadLiveSnapshot()` appends nothing, and the non-mutating `inspect()`/`readFrom()` reads never write one.
+
+The predicate a bracket owner evaluates is purely a function of the log: an unmatched opening marker with a `session/resumed` after it is stale, and one with no `session/resumed` after it is live.
+
+`time` is `Date.now()` floored at the log's greatest `time`, deliberately unlike the synthetic closers, which reuse the last real event's timestamp so repair output stays a deterministic function of stored history. The wall clock is not monotonic — an NTP step, a VM restore, or a log copied from a machine that was ahead can put it behind events already stored — so the floor keeps every cross-boundary duration non-negative. The floor is durable, because the clamped boundary is stored and joins the log's maximum: one future-dated event pins every later boundary in that log to the same instant until wall time passes it.
+
+**The predicate distinguishes process succession, not concurrent writers.** `load()`'s liveness guard is `ctx.sessions.get(id)`, which only sees sessions live in *this* runtime, and no backend takes a cross-process per-session lock. So process B cold-loading a session A currently owns writes a boundary after A's still-open bracket. A consumer that must tolerate concurrent writers still needs a liveness signal beyond the log.
+
+## Why this was rejected
+
+Two reasons, found while reviewing where the marker belonged.
+
+**It covers no fork.** `sessions.fork()` and a subagent fork child construct a seeded session without touching persistence, so neither gets a boundary. A forked child inherits its parent's prefix verbatim — including an open `compact/start` the parent is still holding — which is the one case where the inherited bracket's owner is demonstrably alive. The predicate was unavailable exactly where it was most needed.
+
+**Minting the marker at load made a read path a durable write.** Every consequence the review surfaced traced to that: a revision bump on every cold load, a `commitRepair` batch on a balanced log with nothing to repair, the durable time floor above, a load that fails against a read-only store, and a marked log after a resume the caller then cancelled. None of these are wrong given the placement; they are the placement's cost.
+
+The successor keeps the problem statement and the concurrent-writer scope limit unchanged, and moves the write to `Session`'s constructor — the single waist all six seeded-start paths pass through, fork included. Because the marker then rides the ordinary seed-persistence path, the whole durable-write surface above disappears.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Use `Session.firstLiveSeq` as the staleness predicate.** Dismissed here on the grounds that it is documented as deliberately not persisted, so the same stored log yields different answers in different processes and a read-only reader cannot evaluate it at all. That reasoning was sound about the field and wrong about the conclusion: the fix is to persist a projection of it rather than to compute the boundary somewhere else. This is the alternative that became the successor.
+
+**Declare the event in core (`dsh-session`).** Rejected here because "the constructor cannot distinguish resume from fork or replay." That is true and turned out not to matter — the distinction is not needed, since inherited history is dead history in all three cases.
+
+**Teach `interruptedTurnClosers` to close `compact/*`.** Rejected: `compact/*` is plugin-owned vocabulary and core must not know it. Core closes turn, step, and tool boundaries — the relations it owns. The successor keeps this rejection.
+
+**Lazy self-repair: the owner appends a synthetic closing marker when it finds an orphan.** A write inside a read-shaped check, and it needs an invariant exception for a numbered owner whose turn has already closed.
+
+**A merge-extensible repair-contributor registry in core.** The right shape once a second consumer exists; with one consumer today, `packages/AGENTS.md` says not to split a seam preemptively.
+
+**Write the boundary only when repair actually occurred.** Rejected: the predicate must hold for an orderly restart too, where there is nothing to repair. The successor keeps this rejection.
+
+## Related
+
+The cold-session `updatedAt` skew this proposal documented is scoped in [the last-activity-index Agent Note](../../proposed/architecture/2026-07-29-durable-last-activity-index.md). That defect predates this proposal and survives its rejection: it is caused by mtime counting every durable write, not by any one boundary.

+# Agent Note: 在会话日志中记录恢复的进程边界
+
+Status: rejected — 边界应当落在带种子 `Session` 的构造函数上，那里同时覆盖 fork 与回放；由[种子结束边界](../../implemented/architecture/2026-07-30-session-end-seed-log-boundary.md)取代
+
+[English](2026-07-29-session-resumed-log-boundary.md) | 中文
+
+## Problem
+
+会话的持久日志此前无法证明它换过进程。`session/created`、`session/disposed` 和 `session/flush` 是 cordis 运行时信号，而不是 `SessionEventMap` 成员；`agent/session-start` 虽然携带 `SessionStartSource`，却只用于 emit，从不记录。因此，读取一份已存储日志得不到任何关于「曾经发生过恢复」的线索。
+
+这一空缺让一类问题无法回答。在日志中拥有独立开始／结束事件对的插件必须区分两种未匹配的起始标记：一种由某个在操作中途死亡的进程留下，另一种正被当前某项操作持有；今天符合这一形态的只有压缩的 `compact/start` … `compact/end`。这两种状态**在已存储历史中逐字节相同**。没有边界，所有方只能在两种做法之间选择：永远拒绝（一个未匹配的标记会永久卡住该操作，而自动压缩失败采取警告并继续的策略，因此用户可见的结果是压缩静默停止工作，直到上下文窗口溢出），或者始终继续（这让持有锁失去了意义）。
+
+修复它的压力是即刻的：把 `compact/start` 移到摘要生成之前这个真实的时间点，会把崩溃窗口从几微秒的同步追加扩大为一整次模型调用的时长，孤儿括号也就从罕见变为常态。
+
+## Proposal
+
+`@deepseek-ai/dsh-session-persistence` 声明唯一一个纯日志事件 `session/resumed`，其载荷为空，并在每次冷加载结束时恰好追加一条：与崩溃修复产生的 closers 同处一个 `commitRepair` 批次，且排在它们之后。因此，该边界之前的每个事件都有更小的 seq，并且都是由一个不再追踪这份日志的写入方写下的。所有权狭窄地落在 `loadCore()`，也就是 `load()` 与 `adopt()` 到达的冷加载路径。`loadLiveSnapshot()` 不追加任何内容，非变更性的 `inspect()`／`readFrom()` 读取也从不写入。
+
+括号所有方求值的谓词纯粹是日志的函数：未匹配的起始标记之后有 `session/resumed` 的就是陈旧的，之后没有的就是存活的。
+
+`time` 取 `Date.now()` 并以日志的最大 `time` 为下限，刻意区别于合成 closers——后者复用最后一个真实事件的时间戳，以便修复输出始终是已存储历史的确定性函数。挂钟并非单调：一次 NTP 跳变、一次虚拟机恢复，或一份从走快的机器上拷来的日志，都可能让它落在已存储事件之后，因此这个下限让跨边界的时长都非负。该下限是持久的，因为被钳制的边界本身会被存储并加入日志的最大值：一个未来时间的事件会把该日志中之后的每个边界都钉在同一时刻，直到挂钟时间越过它。
+
+**该谓词区分的是进程接替，不是并发写入方。** `load()` 的存活性守卫是 `ctx.sessions.get(id)`，它只看到*本*运行时中存活的会话，而且没有任何后端会取跨进程的按会话锁。因此，进程 B 冷加载一个 A 当前拥有的会话时，会在 A 仍然开放的括号之后写入一个边界。必须容忍并发写入方的消费方仍然需要日志之外的存活信号。
+
+## 为什么被否决
+
+两个原因，都是在复审标记应当落在何处时发现的。
+
+**它完全覆盖不到 fork。** `sessions.fork()` 与子代理 fork 子会话在不触及持久化的情况下构造带种子会话，因此两者都拿不到边界。fork 子会话会逐字节继承父会话的前缀——包括父会话仍然持有的开放 `compact/start`——而这恰恰是继承括号的所有方明显还活着的唯一情形。谓词偏偏在最需要它的地方不可用。
+
+**在加载时铸造标记，把读取路径变成了持久写入。** 复审暴露出的每一项后果都源于此：每次冷加载都递增 revision、对一份无需修复的平衡日志也要走 `commitRepair`、上文那个持久时间下限、加载在只读存储上会失败，以及调用方随后取消的恢复也已留下标记。这些在该放置方式下都不算错，它们就是该放置方式的成本。
+
+取代方案保留问题陈述与并发写入方的适用范围限制不变，并把写入移到 `Session` 的构造函数——全部六条带种子启动路径（含 fork）必经的唯一收窄处。由于标记随后走普通的种子持久化路径，上述整个持久写入面就消失了。
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**用 `Session.firstLiveSeq` 作为陈旧性谓词。** 此处以「文档明确它有意不做持久化，因此同一份已存储日志在不同进程中会给出不同答案，而只读读取方根本无法对它求值」为理由否决。这个推理对字段本身是成立的，但结论错了：正确的修法是持久化它的一个投影，而不是把边界挪到别处去算。这条替代方案正是后来的取代方案。
+
+**在核心（`dsh-session`）中声明该事件。** 此处以「构造函数无法把恢复与 fork 或回放区分开」为理由否决。这句话是对的，但事实证明它无关紧要——并不需要这种区分，因为在这三种情形下继承历史都是死历史。
+
+**教 `interruptedTurnClosers` 关闭 `compact/*`。** 否决：`compact/*` 是插件所属词汇，核心不得知道它。核心只关闭轮次、步骤和工具边界，也就是它自己拥有的关系。取代方案保留这条否决。
+
+**惰性自修复：所有方发现孤儿时自行追加一条合成的关闭标记。** 这是在一次形似读取的检查中执行写入，而且需要为一个带轮次编号、其轮次却已经关闭的所有方开一个不变式例外。
+
+**在核心中建一个可合并扩展的修复贡献方注册表。** 一旦出现第二个消费方，这就是正确的形状；今天只有一个消费方，而 `packages/AGENTS.md` 要求不要预先拆分 seam。
+
+**仅在确实发生了修复时才写入边界。** 否决：该谓词对有序重启同样必须成立，而那时没有任何东西需要修复。取代方案保留这条否决。
+
+## 相关
+
+本提案记录过的冷会话 `updatedAt` 偏斜，范围界定在[最后活动索引 Agent Note](../../proposed/architecture/2026-07-29-durable-last-activity-index.md)。该缺陷早于本提案存在，并且在本提案被否决后依然存在：它的成因是 mtime 会计入每一次持久写入，而不是某一个边界。

-The `dsh` command-line entry follows the `apps/` assembly tier: `apps/*` are product assemblies over `packages/*` libraries. Plain `dsh` boots the interactive TUI coding agent, `dsh -p "task"` runs one headless turn, and `dsh web` serves the browser UI.
 
-Argv is parsed once through a [Commander](https://github.com/tj/commander.js) adapter ([`src/args.ts`](src/args.ts)): one program whose default (no subcommand) is the TUI/headless surface (`--config`, `-p`/`--prompt`, `--resume`) and whose `web` subcommand is the browser UI. `src/bin.ts` switches on the resolved mode and dynamic-imports only that mode's module. `dsh --help` lists every mode and `dsh web --help` renders the web usage, `dsh --version` prints this app's version, and an unknown option or a mistyped `--resume` fails loud (stderr, exit 1) instead of misrouting. `dsh web`'s `--host`/`--port` are unvalidated pass-through overrides: the `dsh-host-webserver` schema is the single source of both the default (the shipped `cordis.yml` value when a flag is absent) and validity, and rejects a bad value at boot. `--trusted-host` appends named authorities for the /api browser-trust fence; an all-interfaces bind additionally derives the machine's LAN IP literals itself ([`src/app-cli-entry.ts`](src/app-cli-entry.ts)), so the printed LAN URL works without flags.
+Argv is parsed once through a [Commander](https://github.com/tj/commander.js) adapter ([`src/args.ts`](src/args.ts)): one program whose default (no subcommand) is the TUI/headless surface (`--config`, `-p`/`--prompt`, `--resume`), whose `meta` subcommand is the same TUI over this checkout, whose `upgrade` subcommand is an option-less guided-session entry, and whose `web` subcommand is the browser UI. `src/bin.ts` switches on the resolved mode and dynamic-imports only that mode's module. `dsh --help` lists every mode and `dsh web --help` renders the web usage, `dsh --version` prints this app's version, and an unknown option or a mistyped `--resume` fails loud (stderr, exit 1) instead of misrouting. Every subcommand that shares no option with the default surface — `upgrade`, `web`, `meta` — rejects a leaked `--config`/`-p`/`--resume` rather than running and dropping it. `dsh web`'s `--host`/`--port` are unvalidated pass-through overrides: the `dsh-host-webserver` schema is the single source of both the default (the shipped Web overlay value when a flag is absent) and validity, and rejects a bad value at boot. `--trusted-host` appends named authorities for the /api browser-trust fence; an all-interfaces bind additionally derives the machine's LAN IP literals itself ([`src/app-cli-entry.ts`](src/app-cli-entry.ts)), so the printed LAN URL works without flags.
 
 The TUI surface:
 
-- boots the shipped default config (`examples/tui-agent/cordis.yml`), or the tree named by `--config <path>` (the demo/test escape for booting an alternate example tree), through [`dsh-app-boot`](../../packages/ui/app-boot/README.md);
-- resumes a persisted session with `dsh --resume <session-id>` and, when the Node host exposes `process.execve`, supplies the TUI's in-place handoff host: after selector preflight and current-session flush, the host disposes the app and replaces the process with a normalized `dsh --resume <id>`; runtimes without process replacement keep the displayed command fallback. The flag provides the id on the boot context under `RESUME_SESSION_ID_KEY` (no environment variable), which the shipped config reads through `!!js`, and a missing or unreadable id fails loud instead of creating a fresh session;
-- treats the **invoking directory** as the workspace — sessions, relative paths, and workspace instructions resolve from the cwd;
+- boots `base.cordis.yml` plus `tui.cordis.yml` through [`dsh-app-boot`](../../packages/ui/app-boot/README.md); `--config <path>` applies a patch-list overlay instead of the personal overlay, while `--config-replace <path>` boots that file as the complete tree;
+- resumes a persisted session with `dsh --resume <session-id>` and, when the Node host exposes `process.execve`, supplies the TUI's in-place handoff host: after selector preflight and current-session flush, the host disposes the app and replaces the process with a normalized resume invocation; runtimes without process replacement leave the session running and say so. This CLI owns session identity and the exit line rather than the config: it mints or selects the `main` session id and provides it, plus the exact command that reproduces this invocation, on the boot context ([`MAIN_SESSION_ID_KEY`](../../packages/ui/tui/README.md) and `TUI_GOODBYE_MESSAGE_KEY`). No `cordis.yml` key can drop resume, and a missing or unreadable id fails loud instead of creating a fresh session;
+- treats the **invoking directory** as the workspace — sessions, relative paths, and workspace instructions resolve from the cwd (`dsh meta` is the sole exception, below);
 - tells the agent where its own source lives: after boot it adds a prompt section naming this harness checkout, resolved from the launcher's real path so it holds under a PATH symlink and an arbitrary cwd, so the self-referential `cordis` toolset can read and modify it;
-- applies the personal overlay from `~/.dsh` (see [app-boot's Personal config](../../packages/ui/app-boot/README.md#personal-config)): `.env` fills environment gaps (ambient > project `.env` > personal `.env`), `config.yaml` patches the booted tree.
+- applies the personal overlay from `~/.dsh` (see [app-boot's Personal config](../../packages/ui/app-boot/README.md#personal-config)): `config.yaml` patches the booted tree, while `.env` there is the credential provider's own store (never hoisted into the environment, so keys stay rotatable). Environment precedence is ambient > project `.env`.
 
-The Web and headless surfaces boot one shared composition (`cordis.yml`): both treat the invoking directory as the default project and Workspace root, create named Workspaces beneath that root unless `--workspace-root <path>` overrides it, load applicable `AGENTS.md`/`CLAUDE.md` instructions into each agent-loop request prefix with a 65,536-byte render budget, opt into first-message model titles, and mount a disposable in-memory SQLite content-index service. That service is ACTIVE at boot, while its `node:sqlite` module and database handle open only on the first content search. This keeps Node 22 startup output free of SQLite's experimental warning before search is used; the first actual search may still emit the runtime warning. Each service instance owns its database, so parallel invocations neither share unsupported SQLite state nor leave derived index files behind, and the first search lazily reconciles live and persisted logs. Headless differs only in listening on an OS-assigned port (parallel `dsh -p` runs never collide; the stderr-printed URL opens the live session in a browser). Both need the frontend dist and client bundles built (`pnpm run build && pnpm run build:web`).
+`dsh meta` is that same TUI with this harness checkout as the workspace, so working on dsh itself needs no `cd`. It chdirs to the checkout root — resolved from the launcher's real path, the same root the source-path prompt section names — after the environment is settled, so precedence is unchanged while the session cwd and HMR watch root move together. Meta always starts a fresh session and accepts no default-surface options; use ordinary `dsh --resume <id>` to resume a persisted session.
+
+`dsh upgrade` is a guided fresh-session entry over the default TUI surface: it mints a fresh session in the invoking directory and seeds its first turn with the bundled `dsh-upgrade` skill, exactly as if the user typed `/skill:<name>`. The launcher passes the skill name on the boot context ([`INITIAL_SKILL_KEY`](../../packages/ui/tui/README.md)), which the TUI auto-invokes once the chat is live. Both take no options — `--config`, `-p`, and `--resume` fail loud — and seed only on this first launch, so a later `dsh --resume <id>` of the session is an ordinary TUI session with no re-injection.
+
+
+The Web and headless surfaces boot `base.cordis.yml` plus `web.cordis.yml`, then apply `$DSH_HOME/config.yaml`; an explicit `--config <path>` replaces that personal overlay. Both surfaces otherwise share the same composition: both treat the invoking directory as the default project and Workspace root, create named Workspaces beneath that root unless `--workspace-root <path>` overrides it, load applicable `AGENTS.md`/`CLAUDE.md` instructions into each agent-loop request prefix with a 65,536-byte render budget, opt into first-message model titles, and mount a disposable in-memory SQLite content-index service. That service is ACTIVE at boot, while its `node:sqlite` module and database handle open only on the first content search. This keeps Node 22 startup output free of SQLite's experimental warning before search is used; the first actual search may still emit the runtime warning. Each service instance owns its database, so parallel invocations neither share unsupported SQLite state nor leave derived index files behind, and the first search lazily reconciles live and persisted logs. Headless differs only in listening on an OS-assigned port (parallel `dsh -p` runs never collide; the stderr-printed URL opens the live session in a browser). Both need the frontend dist and client bundles built (`pnpm run build && pnpm run build:web`).
 
 The shipped TUI and Web compositions register the native DeepSeek adapter plus pi-ai OpenAI and Anthropic profiles. Credentials and endpoint overrides come from the provider-standard `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` / `DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL`, `OPENAI_API_KEY` / `OPENAI_BASE_URL`, and `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` / `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` pairs in the boot's layered environment.

-`dsh` 命令行入口遵循 `apps/` 组装层：`apps/*` 是位于 `packages/*` 库之上的产品组装。直接运行 `dsh` 会启动交互式 TUI 编码 agent（智能体），`dsh -p "task"` 运行一个无头轮次，`dsh web` 则提供浏览器 UI。
 
-Argv 只会通过 [Commander](https://github.com/tj/commander.js) 适配器（[`src/args.ts`](src/args.ts)）解析一次：同一个程序的默认形式（无子命令）是 TUI／无头界面（`--config`、`-p`/`--prompt`、`--resume`），`web` 子命令则是浏览器 UI。`src/bin.ts` 按解析后的 mode 分支，仅动态导入该 mode 的模块。`dsh --help` 列出所有 mode，`dsh web --help` 渲染 Web 用法，`dsh --version` 打印此应用的版本；未知选项或拼错的 `--resume` 会明确报错（stderr，退出码 1），而不会被错路由。`dsh web` 的 `--host`/`--port` 是未验证的直通覆盖：`dsh-host-webserver` schema 是默认值（标志缺失时使用已交付的 `cordis.yml` 值）和有效性的唯一真源，并在启动时拒绝错误值。`--trusted-host` 为 /api 浏览器信任栅栏追加具名权威；全接口绑定还会自行推导本机的 LAN IP 字面量（[`src/app-cli-entry.ts`](src/app-cli-entry.ts)），因此打印出的 LAN URL 无需任何标志即可使用。

 TUI 界面：
 
-- 启动已交付的默认配置（`examples/tui-agent/cordis.yml`），或由 `--config <path>` 指定的树（演示／测试用于启动其他示例树的逃生口），并通过 [`dsh-app-boot`](../../packages/ui/app-boot/README.md) 完成启动；
-- 使用 `dsh --resume <session-id>` 恢复已持久化会话。当 Node 宿主公开 `process.execve` 时，还会提供 TUI 的原地移交宿主：选择器预检并刷新当前会话后，宿主会释放应用，并以规范化的 `dsh --resume <id>` 替换进程；不支持进程替换的运行时保留屏幕上显示的命令回退。该标志通过 `RESUME_SESSION_ID_KEY` 在启动上下文中提供 id（不使用环境变量），已交付的配置通过 `!!js` 读取它；缺失或无法读取的 id 会明确报错，而不会创建新会话；
-- 将 **调用目录** 视为 workspace：会话、相对路径和 workspace 指令都从 cwd 解析；
+- 通过 [`dsh-app-boot`](../../packages/ui/app-boot/README.md) 启动 `base.cordis.yml` 与 `tui.cordis.yml`；`--config <path>` 应用一个补丁列表覆盖并替代个人覆盖，而 `--config-replace <path>` 将指定文件作为完整配置树启动；
+- 使用 `dsh --resume <session-id>` 恢复已持久化会话。当 Node 宿主公开 `process.execve` 时，还会提供 TUI 的原地移交宿主：选择器预检并刷新当前会话后，宿主会释放应用，并以规范化的恢复调用替换进程；不支持进程替换的运行时会让会话继续运行并给出提示。会话身份与退出行由本 CLI 拥有，而非由配置指定：它创建或选定 `main` 会话 id，并把该 id 以及可复现本次调用的确切命令一起提供到启动上下文（[`MAIN_SESSION_ID_KEY`](../../packages/ui/tui/README.md) 与 `TUI_GOODBYE_MESSAGE_KEY`）。任何 `cordis.yml` 键都无法移除恢复能力；缺失或无法读取的 id 会明确报错，而不会创建新会话；
+- 将 **调用目录** 视为 workspace：会话、相对路径和 workspace 指令都从 cwd 解析（`dsh meta` 是唯一例外，见下文）；
 - 告知 agent 自身源码所在位置：启动后添加一个命名此 harness checkout 的提示词段。该路径从启动器的真实路径解析，因此在 PATH 符号链接和任意 cwd 下仍然有效，使自指的 `cordis` 工具集可以读取并修改它；
-- 应用 `~/.dsh` 中的个人覆盖（参见 [app-boot 的个人配置](../../packages/ui/app-boot/README.md#personal-config)）：`.env` 填补环境缺口（环境中已有的值 > 项目 `.env` > 个人 `.env`），`config.yaml` 则修补已启动的树。
+- 应用 `~/.dsh` 中的个人覆盖（参见 [app-boot 的个人配置](../../packages/ui/app-boot/README.md#personal-config)）：`config.yaml` 修补已启动的树，而那里的 `.env` 是凭据 provider 自己的存储（绝不会被提升进环境，因此密钥始终可轮换）。环境优先级为环境中已有的值 > 项目 `.env`。
 
-Web 和无头界面启动同一个共享组合（`cordis.yml`）：两者都将调用目录视为默认项目和 Workspace 根目录，除非通过 `--workspace-root <path>` 覆盖，否则会在该根目录下创建具名 Workspace；它们会把适用的 `AGENTS.md`/`CLAUDE.md` 指令加载到每个 agent-loop 请求前缀中，渲染预算为 65,536 字节，并选用首条消息模型标题，且挂载一个可丢弃的内存 SQLite 内容索引服务。该服务在启动时处于 ACTIVE 状态，但其 `node:sqlite` 模块与数据库句柄分别要到首次内容搜索才会导入和打开。这样可使 Node 22 在尚未使用搜索时的启动输出不出现 SQLite 实验性警告；首次实际搜索仍可能发出运行时警告。每个服务实例独占自己的数据库，因此并行调用既不会共享不受支持的 SQLite 状态，也不会留下派生索引文件，首次搜索还会惰性对账实时日志与持久化日志。无头界面唯一的差异是监听操作系统分配的端口（并行 `dsh -p` 运行绝不冲突；stderr 打印的 URL 会在浏览器中打开实时会话）。两者都需要先构建前端 dist 和客户端 bundle（`pnpm run build && pnpm run build:web`）。
+`dsh meta` 是以本 harness checkout 为 workspace 的同一个 TUI，因此开发 dsh 自身无需 `cd`。它在环境确定之后才 chdir 到 checkout 根目录（从启动器的真实路径解析，与源码路径提示词段所指的根目录相同），因此环境优先级不变，而会话 cwd 与 HMR 监视根目录会一并移动。Meta 始终创建新会话，不接受默认界面的任何选项；恢复已持久化会话应使用普通的 `dsh --resume <id>`。
+
+`dsh upgrade` 是默认 TUI 界面之上的引导式全新会话入口：它在调用目录中创建一个全新会话，并以内置 `dsh-upgrade` skill 播种其首轮，效果等同于用户手动键入 `/skill:<name>`。启动器将 skill 名称提供到启动上下文（[`INITIAL_SKILL_KEY`](../../packages/ui/tui/README.md)），TUI 在聊天就绪后自动调用它。两者都不接受任何选项——`--config`、`-p`、`--resume` 都会明确报错——且仅在首次启动时播种，因此之后 `dsh --resume <id>` 恢复该会话时是普通 TUI 会话，不会重复注入。
+
+
+Web 和无头界面启动 `base.cordis.yml` 与 `web.cordis.yml`，随后应用 `$DSH_HOME/config.yaml`；显式的 `--config <path>` 会替代该个人覆盖。除此之外，两者共享同一套组合：两者都将调用目录视为默认项目和 Workspace 根目录，除非通过 `--workspace-root <path>` 覆盖，否则会在该根目录下创建具名 Workspace；它们会把适用的 `AGENTS.md`/`CLAUDE.md` 指令加载到每个 agent-loop 请求前缀中，渲染预算为 65,536 字节，并选用首条消息模型标题，且挂载一个可丢弃的内存 SQLite 内容索引服务。该服务在启动时处于 ACTIVE 状态，但其 `node:sqlite` 模块与数据库句柄分别要到首次内容搜索才会导入和打开。这样可使 Node 22 在尚未使用搜索时的启动输出不出现 SQLite 实验性警告；首次实际搜索仍可能发出运行时警告。每个服务实例独占自己的数据库，因此并行调用既不会共享不受支持的 SQLite 状态，也不会留下派生索引文件，首次搜索还会惰性对账实时日志与持久化日志。无头界面唯一的差异是监听操作系统分配的端口（并行 `dsh -p` 运行绝不冲突；stderr 打印的 URL 会在浏览器中打开实时会话）。两者都需要先构建前端 dist 和客户端 bundle（`pnpm run build && pnpm run build:web`）。
 
 已交付的 TUI 和 Web 组合会注册原生 DeepSeek 适配器，以及 pi-ai 的 OpenAI 和 Anthropic 提供方配置。凭据和端点覆盖来自启动分层环境中的提供方标准变量对：`DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` / `DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL`、`OPENAI_API_KEY` / `OPENAI_BASE_URL` 和 `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` / `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL`。

+          You are in plan mode. Stay in plan mode until exit_plan_mode succeeds or the user switches the session mode. Imperative language to implement changes means plan the implementation, not execute it. A user's conversational agreement — including an answer confirming something you asked — approves nothing and does not end plan mode; fold the confirmed decision into the plan and submit it through exit_plan_mode.
+
+          Explore first. Use non-mutating reads, searches, static analysis, and checks to ground the plan in the actual repository. Do not edit or write files, change configuration, run formatters or code generation that rewrites tracked files, commit, or otherwise carry out the plan. Prefer existing functions and patterns over new machinery.
+
+          The tool catalog stays the same across modes for request-cache stability. These plan-mode rules override any later tool description or guidance that suggests using mutation tools; those tools remain listed only to keep the request shape stable. Do not use todo_write to track this planning phase: it tracks implementation after an approved plan, while the plan itself belongs in exit_plan_mode.
+
+          Resolve discoverable facts by inspection. Use ask_user_question only for user-owned choices or material ambiguity that inspection cannot answer. Do not ask the user where code lives or how current behavior works when you can find out.
+
+          Make the plan decision-complete: state the goal and success criteria; group implementation changes by subsystem; identify public API, schema, and data-flow changes; cover edge cases, failure modes, tests, acceptance criteria, and explicit assumptions. Keep it concise enough to review but detailed enough that another engineer can implement it without making design decisions.
+
+          When ready, call exit_plan_mode with the complete plan markdown, starting with a # title. Make exit_plan_mode the only and final tool call in that assistant response: it presents the plan for approval, and implementation begins only in a later step after approval. Do not paste the final plan as a plain reply or ask "should I proceed?" through prose or ask_user_question. If review rejects it, incorporate the feedback and present again. If the review channel is unavailable or aborted, stay in plan mode and ask the user to switch modes manually; do not proceed with implementation.

-    section: |
-          You are in plan mode. Stay in plan mode until exit_plan_mode succeeds or the user switches the session mode. Imperative language to implement changes means plan the implementation, not execute it. A user's conversational agreement — including an answer confirming something you asked — approves nothing and does not end plan mode; fold the confirmed decision into the plan and submit it through exit_plan_mode.
-
-          Explore first. Use non-mutating reads, searches, static analysis, and checks to ground the plan in the actual repository. Do not edit or write files, change configuration, run formatters or code generation that rewrites tracked files, commit, or otherwise carry out the plan. Prefer existing functions and patterns over new machinery.
-
-          The tool catalog stays the same across modes for request-cache stability. These plan-mode rules override any later tool description or guidance that suggests using mutation tools; those tools remain listed only to keep the request shape stable. Do not use todo_write to track this planning phase: it tracks implementation after an approved plan, while the plan itself belongs in exit_plan_mode.
-
-          Resolve discoverable facts by inspection. Use ask_user_question only for user-owned choices or material ambiguity that inspection cannot answer. Do not ask the user where code lives or how current behavior works when you can find out.
-
-          Make the plan decision-complete: state the goal and success criteria; group implementation changes by subsystem; identify public API, schema, and data-flow changes; cover edge cases, failure modes, tests, acceptance criteria, and explicit assumptions. Keep it concise enough to review but detailed enough that another engineer can implement it without making design decisions.
-
-          When ready, call exit_plan_mode with the complete plan markdown, starting with a # title. Make exit_plan_mode the only and final tool call in that assistant response: it presents the plan for approval, and implementation begins only in a later step after approval. Do not paste the final plan as a plain reply or ask "should I proceed?" through prose or ask_user_question. If review rejects it, incorporate the feedback and present again. If the review channel is unavailable or aborted, stay in plan mode and ask the user to switch modes manually; do not proceed with implementation.

+# User Credentials
+
+English | [中文](credentials.zh.md)
+
+The credential seam of [dsh-credentials](../../packages/credentials/credentials) keeps secrets out of configuration: settings sections and `cordis.yml` entries carry *references* (environment-variable names), providers such as [dsh-credentials-local](../../packages/credentials/credentials-local) own the values, and consumers resolve a reference once per operation — the LLM adapters resolve once per model request, so a rotated credential reaches the very next request without any restart. One seam-wide rule binds every provider: an empty stored value is absent everywhere.
+
+Source: [`packages/credentials/credentials/src/index.ts`](../../packages/credentials/credentials/src/index.ts)
+
+## Identity
+
+A reference names one credential as a POSIX-style environment-variable name. The brand keeps references from mixing with other cross-boundary strings; construction validates the shell-identifier shape.
+
+```ts type-equiv
+/** Nominal reference to one credential: a POSIX-style environment-variable name. */
+type CredentialRef = Branded<'CredentialRef'>
+```
+
+## Resolution
+
+`resolve(ref)` returns the value with the provider-defined source layer that supplied it, or `undefined` while unconfigured. Consumers re-resolve at each operation and never cache across operations — that per-operation read is the hot-update mechanism.
+
+```ts type-equiv
+/** One resolved credential value and the source layer that supplied it. */
+interface ResolvedCredential {
+  /** The non-empty secret value. */
+  value: string
+  /** Provider-defined source layer id (the local provider uses `env` and `file`). */
+  source: string
+}
+```
+
+## Description
+
+`describe(ref)` answers configuration surfaces without ever exposing a value: whether the reference resolves, from which layer, and whether `set` would currently succeed. The local provider reports a reference supplied by the live process environment as `writable: false` — a write would appear to succeed while resolution kept returning the shadowing value, so the seam rejects it and the UI can render the reference read-only up front.
+
+```ts type-equiv
+/** Source and writability facts for one reference, safe for configuration UIs — never the value. */
+interface CredentialInfo {
+  /** Whether {@link Credentials.resolve} would currently return a value. */
+  configured: boolean
+  /** Source layer currently supplying the value; absent while unconfigured. */
+  source?: string
+  /** Whether {@link Credentials.set} would currently succeed for this reference. */
+  writable: boolean
+}
+```
+
+## Change commits
+
+`credentials/updated (ref)` fires after a committed change to a provider-managed source — a `set`, an `unset`, or an external edit observed in storage. Ambient process-environment changes are not observable and never emit. Consumers do not need the event (they re-resolve per operation); it exists for configuration surfaces refreshing a "configured" badge.

+type CredentialRef = Branded<'CredentialRef'>
+```
+
+## 解析
+
+`resolve(ref)` 返回值，连同供出该值、由 provider 定义的来源层；未配置期间返回 `undefined`。消费方在每个操作中重新解析，绝不跨操作缓存——这次按操作进行的读取正是热更新机制。
+

+  value: string
+  /** Provider-defined source layer id (the local provider uses `env` and `file`). */
+  source: string
+}
+```
+
+## 描述
+
+`describe(ref)` 在绝不暴露值的前提下回应配置界面：引用当前是否可解析、来自哪一层、`set` 当前能否成功。本地 provider 把由活跃进程环境供值的引用报告为 `writable: false`——那样的写入会表面成功而解析持续返回遮蔽值，因此 seam 直接拒绝，界面也得以提前把该引用渲染为只读。
+
+```ts type-equiv
+/** Source and writability facts for one reference, safe for configuration UIs — never the value. */

+  /** Whether {@link Credentials.resolve} would currently return a value. */

+  writable: boolean
+}
+```
+
+## 变更提交
+
+`credentials/updated (ref)` 在 provider 管理的来源发生已提交变更后触发——`set`、`unset` 或在存储中观察到的外部编辑。进程环境自身的变化不可观测，永不发出事件。消费方不需要该事件（它们按操作重新解析）；它服务于配置界面刷新「已配置」徽标。

 The optional `dsh-session/invariant` companion enforces the relations owned by core: turn and step numbering, execution-event enclosure, and same-step tool call/result pairing. Merge-extensible event relations belong to the plugin that declares them, so core does not reject an unknown event merely because no turn is open.

+## The end-seed boundary: `session/end-seed`
+
+A seeded session — resume, fork, or replay — appends this log-only event immediately after its constructor seed, as its first live write. Events before it have smaller seq values and came from the seed. It is the durable projection of `firstLiveSeq`: that field answers where this lifecycle's writes start for a consumer holding the object, while the event answers the same question for one holding only stored bytes. The payload is empty, so position and `time` carry the whole meaning, and it produces no message. `Session`'s constructor is the only legitimate writer.
+
+An empty seed writes nothing, and a seed already ending in `session/end-seed` is not re-marked, so reopening an untouched session does not grow its log per pickup. Locate the LAST `session/end-seed` in stored history rather than assuming one exists at `firstLiveSeq`: after a pickup with no work, the event has a smaller seq than the next lifecycle's `firstLiveSeq`.
+
+It exists because seed history and live work are otherwise byte-identical, which defeats any plugin owning a standalone open/close bracket: an unmatched `compact/start` reads the same whether the writer crashed mid-compaction or is compacting right now. An opening marker before `session/end-seed` came from the constructor seed and belongs to an ended lifecycle, whatever ended it (a crash, a succeeding process, or a fork out of a still-running parent), so its owner may treat it as dead. That covers only brackets *this* session inherited: a concurrently live session holding an open bracket over the same history has its own boundary elsewhere, so tolerating concurrent writers needs a liveness signal beyond the log. Core writes the boundary and reads nothing from it — a bracket's vocabulary stays with its owning plugin, which is why crash repair closes turn/step/tool boundaries and never `compact/*`.
+
+Activity ordering excludes the boundary through `lastActivityTime(events)`: picking a session up is not work, and lazy resume means browsing writes one, so a resume picker or session list ordering by log tail would float every opened session to the top.
+
 ## Plugin-contributed log-only events
 
 A plugin may declaration-merge extra `SessionEventMap` types. These are **log-only**: NOT `SurfaceEventType`s (they carry no `surfaceOp` and contribute nothing to derived history). Their owner decides whether they belong to an open execution turn or may stand between turns, and enforces any relation in its own invariant companion. The full per-event enumeration — core and plugin-contributed alike, with payloads and provenance — is the generated [persistence log event catalog](../persistence-catalog.md); the compaction seam's `compact/*` semantics are discussed on [compaction.md](compaction.md).

+# User Settings
+
+English | [中文](settings.zh.md)
+
+The user-settings seam of [dsh-settings](../../packages/settings/settings) holds one user-owned document of per-namespace sections and resolves each registered namespace as schema defaults, then the registrant's composition `base`, then the user section. Providers such as [dsh-settings-local](../../packages/settings/settings-local) store the raw document and push external edits; consumer plugins register a schema and read or observe the resolved value. Composition config stays in `cordis.yml` — a namespace carries only the user-editable subset.
+
+Source: [`packages/settings/settings/src/index.ts`](../../packages/settings/settings/src/index.ts)
+
+## Identity
+
+A namespace names one plugin-owned section of the user document. The brand keeps namespaces from mixing with other cross-boundary ids; construction validates the lowercase kebab-case shape.
+
+```ts type-equiv
+/** Nominal id of one registered settings namespace. */
+type SettingsNamespace = Branded<'SettingsNamespace'>
+```
+
+## Registration
+
+Registration binds a schemastery schema to a namespace on the calling plugin's fiber — disposing that fiber removes the namespace and its observers. The options carry the composition layer and the owner's effect timing.
+
+```ts type-equiv
+/** Registration options beyond the namespace schema. */
+interface SettingsRegisterOptions<T> {
+  /** Composition-layer values resolved below the user layer (entry-config subset). */
+  base?: Partial<T>
+  /** Owner's effect timing, surfaced to configuration UIs; defaults to `live`. */
+  applies?: SettingsApplies
+}
+```
+
+`applies` is a UI hint, not a mechanism: a `restart` owner simply never watches, so its value is read once at construction and configuration surfaces can badge the pending change.
+
+```ts type-equiv
+/** When a namespace's changes take effect for its owner. */
+type SettingsApplies = 'live' | 'restart'
+```
+
+## Owner scope
+
+The scope is the owner-facing handle. `update` merges a sparse patch over the user section only (never into `base`); `replace` sets the section wholesale, which is the removal/reset path — keys absent from the replacement re-inherit `base` and schema defaults. Writes to one namespace are serialized in call order, and resolved values are deep-frozen snapshots.
+
+```ts type-equiv
+/** Owner-facing handle for one registered namespace. */
+interface SettingsScope<T> {
+  /** Current resolved value: schema defaults, then `base`, then the user layer. */
+  get(): T
+  /**
+   * Observe committed changes to this namespace's resolved value. Invocations
+   * of one callback run asynchronously, one at a time, in commit order; a
+   * rejection is contained and logged like a sync throw. After the disposer
+   * returns, no further invocation starts — one already queued is skipped;
+   * one already started still settles, and service disposal waits for it.
+   * @param callback - invoked after each commit with the next and previous values.
+   * @returns the disposer removing this observer.
+   */
+  watch(callback: (next: T, prev: T) => void | Promise<void>): () => void
+  /**
+   * Merge a partial patch into this namespace's user layer and persist it.
+   * @param patch - plain-object patch over the user section; JSON-shaped data
+   * only (non-JSON values reject with their path before anything persists).
+   */
+  update(patch: object): Promise<void>
+  /**
+   * Replace this namespace's user section wholesale; absent keys re-inherit
+   * the composition `base` and schema defaults (`replace({})` resets all).
+   * @param section - the complete next user section; JSON-shaped data only,
+   * as for {@link update}.
+   */
+  replace(section: object): Promise<void>
+}
+```
+
+## Descriptors
+
+`describe()` serializes every registered namespace for configuration surfaces: the schemastery `toJSON()` envelope drives schema-rendered forms, and the resolved value fills them.
+
+```ts type-equiv
+/** One registered namespace as surfaced to configuration UIs. */
+interface SettingsDescriptor {
+  /** The registered namespace. */
+  ns: SettingsNamespace
+  /** Serialized schemastery schema (`schema.toJSON()`). */
+  schema: unknown
+  /** Current resolved value. */
+  value: unknown
+  /** Owner's declared effect timing. */
+  applies: SettingsApplies
+}
+```
+
+## Change commits
+
+Every committed change — an in-process write or an externally observed provider edit — emits `settings/updated (ns, next, prev, source)` after the new value is authoritative, and never when the resolved value is deep-equal. The source tag separates the two entry paths.
+
+```ts type-equiv
+/** Origin of one committed settings change. */
+type SettingsUpdateSource = 'update' | 'provider'

 - `ToolCallView`（待执行）：`{ card: 'generic', title, kind?, rawInput?, content?, locations? }`（默认卡片；`locations` 是 `{ path, line? }[]`，表示调用读取/修改的文件，供编辑器跟随）、`{ card: 'terminal', title, description?, cwd? }`（shell 命令→终端卡片）、或 `{ card: 'diff', title, diffs, locations? }`（文件创建/修改→行内 diff 卡片；`diffs` 是 `{ path, oldText, newText }[]`，新文件时 `oldText: null`）。

+
+`AskUserQuestionIntent` is the optional declaration that a question IS a decision of a known shape. It is tagged on `kind` so intents can be added; a UI that does not recognise a tag renders the generic option list. An intent shapes presentation only — a UI honouring it answers with the same option labels a generic UI would send, so the caller reads one answer shape either way. `approve` names the affirmative option instead of relying on option order. `ask()` rejects the two assertions no type can carry: an `approve` naming none of its own question's options, and an intent on a question with no `detail`.

 - **Coverage gate** (`pnpm run test:coverage`): the gating run, per-file 100% on `packages/*/*/src`. An uncovered line is often dead code the gate is correctly flagging for deletion, not a missing test to bolt on. Line coverage is necessary, never sufficient — it proves lines ran, not that the feature works as shipped.
 - **Real-API e2e** (`pnpm run test:e2e`): with-key tests against live provider APIs — the DeepSeek model plus provider-specific smokes that gate on their own keys (`EXA_API_KEY`, `PERPLEXITY_API_KEY`, …); each suite self-skips without its key so keyless CI stays green ([real-API e2e Agent Note](../.agents/notes/implemented/testing/2026-06-19-real-api-e2e-ci.md)).
 - **Snapshot** (`pnpm run test:snapshot`): keyless expected outputs cover external behavior — transport contracts and presentation, while persisted logs pin assembled backend behavior. ACP boots the real automation-server example, replays a recorded session, and diffs normalized JSON-RPC plus the re-persisted log ([ACP snapshot Agent Note](../.agents/notes/implemented/testing/2026-06-19-acp-snapshot-tests.md)); headless pins `stream-json` through its real one-shot process. TUI journeys replay primary/child JSONL through the real loop and tools, then project ANSI into semantic terminal-state outputs; package snapshots retain transient states and a real PTY covers the process boundary ([TUI snapshot Agent Note](../.agents/notes/implemented/testing/2026-07-18-tui-terminal-state-snapshots.md)). Use `pnpm run test:snapshot:record` when a model transcript changes and `pnpm run test:snapshot:refresh` when replay input remains valid; review every JSONL and expected-output diff. One ACP scenario (`text-turn`) pins full system-prompt/tool-schema content; other fixtures tokenize it so an edit churns one line ([pinned-header Agent Note](../.agents/notes/archived/testing/2026-07-06-pin-request-header-content-in-one-scenario.md)).

 Committed session-format JSONL uses the canonical packed-row layout, and the keyless snapshot gate discovers every such fixture by its `session` header.

 Plugins load in file order. Place plugins that depend on services after the applications or capability plugins that provide them. Missing models, tools, and plugins fail as early as possible instead of being silently ignored.
 
+## CLI overlays
+
+The TUI composes `base.cordis.yml` and `tui.cordis.yml`, then applies one optional patch list. By default that final list is `~/.dsh/config.yaml`; `dsh --config <path>` replaces the personal list with the named overlay. `dsh --config-replace <path>` instead boots the named file as the complete tree, without shipped or personal layers. `dsh web --config <path>` adds its overlay after the shared base and Web surface defaults and before Web profile and CLI-flag patches.
+
+A patch replaces a row's entire `config` value; it does not deep-merge keys. For example, patching `llm-deepseek` with only `config: { thinking: disabled }` also removes that row's configured `apiKey` and `baseURL`, so restate every key the row must retain.

+补丁会替换目标行的整个 `config` 值，而不是深度合并各个键。例如，只用 `config: { thinking: disabled }` 修补 `llm-deepseek`，也会移除该行原有的 `apiKey` 与 `baseURL`；因此必须重新写出该行需要保留的全部键。

These Plugins exist only in memory and share one internal `cordis-dynamic` fiber subtree; `ctx.fs`/`ctx.web` ride along provider-only as capabilities they can use.

 ## acp-agent
 
 An agent exposed as an **Agent Client Protocol (ACP)** automation server over JSON-RPC stdio, via [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-acp-demo`](../packages/examples/acp-demo). Programmatic clients create fresh sessions, send text prompts, consume committed assistant text, answer one-shot permission requests, and cancel work. It owns the ACP keyless snapshot suite.

 The leaf loads the ACP app, DeepSeek adapter, sandboxed bash and filesystem stacks, one-shot approval policy, compaction, subagents, workflows, hooks, a derived session-query index, and repeat guard. The app creates one fresh agent per `session/new`, persists sessions to JSONL, and keeps stdout protocol-pure. [`session-query.cordis.yml`](session-query.cordis.yml) explicitly opts into the workspace-authorized query tools and generic timeout/spill policies for their dedicated snapshot; [`fs.cordis.yml`](fs.cordis.yml) adds spill storage for filesystem scenarios, [`code-mode.cordis.yml`](code-mode.cordis.yml) adds `run_code` and its generated TypeScript SDK, and [`web.cordis.yml`](web.cordis.yml) adds the web seam, the local fetch provider, `web_fetch`, and a loopback HTML fixture server for the web-fetch snapshot.

+You are an AI agent powered by the DeepSeek Harness SDK.
+
+You are a concise snapshot agent working in {{cwd}}.
+
+Use the glob tool — not shell find — to discover files by path pattern. A pattern with no "/" matches basenames at any depth, so "*" matches every file in the tree rather than its top level. Results are files only, never directories, and include hidden and ignored files: a result that fits comes back in modification-time order, while a larger one is sampled across top-level entries, so it spans the tree instead of one subtree.
+
+Use the grep tool — not shell grep or rg — to search file contents. Use read on a matched file when you need surrounding context.
+
+Check the [exit code: N] marker on every bash result; investigate failures before moving on.

-# cordis-agent
-
-English | [中文](README.zh.md)
-
-The self-referential harness demo: the DeepSeek V4 coding spine on the full-screen TUI plus [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-cordis`](../../packages/cordis/tool-cordis/README.md), which lets the model inspect the current DSH process, mount in-memory temporary Plugins, and unmount them. Temporary Plugins remain active across turns but disappear on unmount, toolset unload, or DSH restart; they create no files or configuration and may affect other sessions in the process. The `ctx.fs` and `ctx.web` services are provider-only capabilities available to those Plugins. The design lives in [the toolset Agent Note](../../.agents/notes/implemented/feature/2026-07-08-self-referential-cordis-toolset.md).
-
-## Run it
-
-```sh
-# repo root .env (gitignored) or exported env:
-#   DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-…
-#   DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL=https://…   # optional; defaults to the public API
-pnpm run demo:cordis      # TUI (default)
-pnpm run demo:cordis web  # browser UI at http://127.0.0.1:3081
-pnpm run demo:cordis acp  # ACP server
-```
-
-The intended demo is staged — verify the listener link first, then let the agent extend itself:
-
-```
-> Mount a temporary Plugin that listens to the 'agent/status' event and logs every status change, then run `echo hi` with bash.
-  [tool call] cordis_mount({"code": "return { name: 'status-logger', apply(ctx) { ctx.on('agent/status', (agent, status) => console.log('status →', status)) } }"})
-  [tool result] Temporary Plugin dyn-1 is running (plugin "status-logger"; available until unmounted or DSH restarts).
-  [tool call] bash({"command": "echo hi"})
-[cordis:dyn-1] status → …            ← the temporary listener firing, live
-> Now give yourself a reverse_text tool and use it on "harness".
-  [tool call] cordis_mount({"code": "return { name: 'reverse-text', inject: ['tools'], apply(ctx) { ctx.tools.register(harness.defineTool({ name: 'reverse_text', … })) } }"})
-  [tool call] reverse_text({"text": "harness"})   ← a tool the agent built for itself, one step earlier
-> Unmount both temporary Plugins.
-  [tool call] cordis_unmount({"id": "dyn-1"})
-```
-
-Ask for `cordis_inspect` with `what: "api"` or `what: "events"` to see the generated service/event reference used to write Plugin code, and mount two cooperating temporary Plugins (`ctx.provide` in one, `inject` in the other) to watch Cordis park and revive the consumer.
-
-## End-to-end tests
-
-`tests/keyless-smoke.e2e.ts` boots the real `cordis.yml` through the Loader with a dummy key and asserts the banner, package-name resolution, and clean EOF exit. `tests/cordis-tools.e2e.ts` is the with-key smoke: a real model mounts a temporary status listener and the test verifies its tagged console line, creates and uses a `reverse_text` tool, and composes two temporary Plugins through provide/inject. [`packages/cordis/tool-cordis`](../../packages/cordis/tool-cordis) carries the unit coverage under the per-file 100% gate.

-自指 harness 演示：在全屏 TUI 上运行 DeepSeek V4 编码主干，并加载 [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-cordis`](../../packages/cordis/tool-cordis/README.md)。后者让模型检查当前 DSH 进程、挂载仅存于内存的临时插件，并卸载它们。临时插件可跨轮次保持活跃，但会在卸载、工具集卸载或 DSH 重启后消失；它们不创建文件或配置，也可能影响同一进程中的其他会话。`ctx.fs` 和 `ctx.web` 仅以能力提供方形式加载，供这些插件使用。设计详见[工具集 Agent Note（agent 决策记录）](../../.agents/notes/implemented/feature/2026-07-08-self-referential-cordis-toolset.md)。
-
-## 运行
-
-```sh
-# repo root .env (gitignored) or exported env:
-#   DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-…
-#   DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL=https://…   # optional; defaults to the public API

-pnpm run demo:cordis web  # browser UI at http://127.0.0.1:3081
-pnpm run demo:cordis acp  # ACP server
-```
-
-预期演示分阶段进行：先验证监听器链路，再让 agent（智能体）扩展自身：
-
-```
-> Mount a temporary Plugin that listens to the 'agent/status' event and logs every status change, then run `echo hi` with bash.
-  [tool call] cordis_mount({"code": "return { name: 'status-logger', apply(ctx) { ctx.on('agent/status', (agent, status) => console.log('status →', status)) } }"})
-  [tool result] Temporary Plugin dyn-1 is running (plugin "status-logger"; available until unmounted or DSH restarts).
-  [tool call] bash({"command": "echo hi"})
-[cordis:dyn-1] status → …            ← the temporary listener firing, live
-> Now give yourself a reverse_text tool and use it on "harness".
-  [tool call] cordis_mount({"code": "return { name: 'reverse-text', inject: ['tools'], apply(ctx) { ctx.tools.register(harness.defineTool({ name: 'reverse_text', … })) } }"})
-  [tool call] reverse_text({"text": "harness"})   ← a tool the agent built for itself, one step earlier
-> Unmount both temporary Plugins.
-  [tool call] cordis_unmount({"id": "dyn-1"})
-```
-
-请求 `cordis_inspect` 并使用 `what: "api"` 或 `what: "events"`，即可查看编写插件代码所用的生成服务／事件资料。还可挂载两个协作临时插件（一个中调用 `ctx.provide`，另一个中使用 `inject`），观察 Cordis 如何暂停并恢复消费方。
-
-## 端到端测试
-
-`tests/keyless-smoke.e2e.ts` 使用虚拟密钥通过 Loader 启动真实 `cordis.yml`，并断言横幅、包名解析，以及收到 EOF 后正常退出。`tests/cordis-tools.e2e.ts` 是带密钥的冒烟测试：真实模型挂载一个临时状态监听器，测试验证其带标记的控制台输出行；然后创建并使用 `reverse_text` 工具，再通过 provide/inject 组合两个临时插件。[`packages/cordis/tool-cordis`](../../packages/cordis/tool-cordis) 包含相关单元测试，并受逐文件 100% 覆盖率门禁约束。

-    persona: |
-      You are cordis-agent, a self-referential harness demo powered by the
-      {{model}} model.
-
-      You run INSIDE a cordis plugin runtime, and your cordis_* tools operate
-      on that live runtime: cordis_inspect to look around (its `api` and
-      `events` sections document the service methods, type shapes, and events
-      your Plugin code can use), cordis_mount to mount an in-memory temporary
-      Plugin (an event listener, a brand-new tool for yourself, or a service
-      another temporary Plugin injects), cordis_unmount to clean one up. These
-      Plugins remain across turns but disappear on unmount, toolset unload, or
-      DSH restart and may affect other sessions in this process. In Plugin code, NEVER use Node
-      built-ins (require/setTimeout/fetch) — use the runtime's cordis services
-      via inject: fs, web, bash, and timer (ctx.setTimeout). Prefer small
-      single-purpose plugins, prefer plain notification events over waterfall
-      events unless you intend to intercept, and unmount what you no longer
-      need. Report results briefly.

+- owner-scoped persistent `bash`
+- `str_replace_editor` with `view`, `create`, `str_replace`, and `insert`

-# tui-agent
-
-English | [中文](README.zh.md)
-
-The full-screen interactive coding agent: DeepSeek V4, local bash and filesystem tools, compaction, subagents, workflows and fresh-agent Ralph iteration, plan mode (`/plan` enters and `exit_plan_mode` reviews the exit), timeout/spill policy, and JSONL persistence through [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui-demo`](../../packages/examples/tui-demo), loaded from `cordis.yml`. The sibling [`headless-agent`](../headless-agent/README.md) runs the same capability class as a one-shot pipe-friendly task, and [`acp-agent`](../acp-agent/README.md) serves it over JSON-RPC.
-
-## Run it
-
-```sh
-# repo root .env (gitignored) or exported env:
-#   DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-…
-#   DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL=https://…   # optional; defaults to the public API
-pnpm run demo:tui
-```
-
-Both the demo script and the installable `dsh` CLI ([`apps/cli`](../../apps/cli/README.md)) boot this example's `cordis.yml` as the shipped default config; `dsh` additionally applies the personal overlay from `~/.dsh` and uses the invoking directory as the workspace.
-
-Type a coding task. The agent works through the `read`/`write`/`edit` filesystem tools for ordinary file operations and `bash` (+ the generic `task_output` / `task_list` / `task_kill` for background tasks) for shell commands, searches, and test runs, each in a fresh `bash -c` (the system prompt tells the model to pass `workdir` instead of `cd`). Both the fs tools and bash resolve relative paths against the session workspace. It can also delegate with `subagent`/`subagent_fork`.
-
-The `todo_write` task tracker is opt-in and not in the shipped config: add `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-todo` to `cordis.yml` (or a personal-config overlay under `~/.dsh`) to expose it. Once loaded, the model records a whole-list plan to the session log and the TUI renders it.
-
-The TUI renders Markdown history, reasoning, tool-owned terminal/diff/generic cards, token totals, and — when `todo_write` is loaded — the latest plan. Long tool bodies keep a head/tail preview; Ctrl+O expands or collapses every card. Enter submits or steers while the agent runs, Ctrl+R toggles reasoning, Escape cancels, and `/help` lists commands. `/plan` selects plan mode for the next step; `/plan <message>` also submits the message into that step, while `/plan off` selects the default mode without model input. `/status` expands the current session's identity, activity counts, exact token/cache buckets, context use, and timestamps without interrupting a running turn. `/model` opens a keyboard selector for the current provider catalog; use Up/Down to focus a model, Shift+Tab to cycle its advertised reasoning efforts, and Enter to select, or use `/model <model>` and `/model <provider>/<model>` for direct selection. `ask_user_question` opens a wide bottom-left keyboard panel with batch progress and numbered options.
-
-### Resuming a prior session
-
-Each run starts a fresh session by default (its event log lands under `./.sessions/`). To **continue** a previous conversation, pass its id to the installed `dsh` CLI — the `main` agent then rehydrates the persisted log instead of starting fresh, so the model sees the earlier turns as history:
-
-```sh
-dsh --resume <prior-session-id>
-```
-
-`/resume` opens a searchable keyboard selector with titles, activity, last-turn results, model route, durable goal phase, and live/persisted state. The installed `dsh` host flushes and disposes the current app, then replaces the process with `dsh --resume <id>`. The TUI still prints that command on exit and shows it when a custom host cannot hand off. `dsh --resume <id>` provides the id on the boot context, which `cordis.yml` reads (`resumeSessionId: !!js "typeof resumeSessionId === 'string' ? resumeSessionId : undefined"`); with no flag the agent starts a new session. A missing or unreadable id starts no agent and emits `agent-loop/config-start-failed`: the TUI prints the failure and exits nonzero. The selector has no cross-process session lock, so deployments with concurrent hosts must coordinate session ownership separately.
-
-## Code Mode
-
-[`code-mode.cordis.yml`](code-mode.cordis.yml) overlays the same tree with the worker-thread runtime and `tools: { mode: code }`. The model receives one `run_code` transport plus a generated TypeScript SDK for the visible tools; only program output returns to model context. Use `mode: both` to expose native calls alongside `run_code`. See the [Code Mode Agent Note](../../.agents/notes/implemented/feature/2026-06-15-code-mode.md) for the execution contract.
-
-```sh
-pnpm run demo:code-mode        # this overlay under the TUI (default UI)
-pnpm run demo:code-mode acp    # the acp-agent example's same-shaped overlay
-```
-
-Try a task that spans several tool calls, e.g.:
-
-> Count the lines of every `*.md` file under docs/ and write the three largest to summary.txt.
-
-and watch the transcript: one `run_code` call, a program looping over tools, and a result the model curated instead of five round-trips of raw tool output.
-
-## What each leaf entry demonstrates
-
-This example is a thin leaf `cordis.yml`: it picks the swappable backends, loads one app package, and adds product tools that are intentionally outside the shared spine. The spine (sessions, system-prompt, tools, agents, invariants, `agent-loop`) and the front-door cluster (JSONL persistence, the pi-tui channel, the pre-created `main` agent) live inside the [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui-demo`](../../packages/examples/tui-demo) app and the [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-agent-spine-demo`](../../packages/examples/agent-spine-demo) bundle it loads; the leaf wires the backends and model-facing optional tools:
-
-| Entry | Demonstrates |
-|---|---|
-| `hmr` (`@cordisjs/plugin-hmr`) | the dev/demo edit-reload loop — a **leaf** entry (not baked into the app) because it depends on the Loader's internal module access |
-| `llm-deepseek` | the default native adapter |
-| `bash` (`dsh-bash-local`) | the executor implementation — the swappable half of the bash seam. The model-facing `bash` schema (`tool-bash`) and generic `task_*` controls (`tool-tasks`) come from `dsh-agent-spine-demo`, so only the executor is a leaf choice |
-| `tui-agent` (`@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui-demo`) | the app bundle: the agent-spine demo + JSONL persistence + the pi-tui channel + a pre-created `main` agent |
-| `subagent`, `subagent-spawn`, `subagent-fork` | the subagent provider registry plus the two in-process backends: a fresh child and a child seeded with the parent's completed-turn prefix |
-| `tool-subagent`, `tool-subagent-fork` | two model-facing `dsh-tool-subagent` loads, each bound to a different provider and exposed under a distinct tool name (`subagent`, `subagent_fork`) |
-| `workflow-workerthread`, `tool-workflow` | the worker-thread workflow engine and its model-facing `workflow` tool, with child calls routed through the spawn backend |
-| `plan-mode` | the plugin-owned `/plan [message]` entry and `/plan off` exit commands, plan-mode prompt policy, tool restrictions, and reviewed `exit_plan_mode` transition |
-| `fs-local`, `fs-policy`, `tool-fs` | the filesystem stack: the local `ctx.fs` provider, the read-before-write/edit policy gate (on the `fs/*` event gate), and the model-facing `read`/`write`/`edit` tools. Relative paths resolve against the session workspace |
-
-## End-to-end tests (`pnpm run test:e2e`)
-
-The UI-independent with-key suites assemble the full stack programmatically through `tests/harness.ts` (no PTY, no Loader):
-
-- `tests/full-loop.e2e.ts` — the canary: real model runs `echo e2e-ok` through the real bash tool; asserts `tool/call`/`tool/result` session events and the final answer.
-- `tests/coding-task.e2e.ts` — the swebench-style smoke: a temp dir holds `add.js` (with `a - b` where `a + b` belongs) and a failing `add.test.js`; the agent must fix the bug and verify. The test re-runs `node add.test.js` ITSELF and inspects the files — agent claims are not trusted.
-- `tests/resume.e2e.ts` — durable continuity across processes: run 1 tells the real model a secret code and persists the turn to a temp JSONL root, then the whole context is disposed; run 2 is a fresh context over the same root that RESUMES the session id and asks the model to recall the code. The recall can only come from the rehydrated log.
-- `tests/compaction.e2e.ts` — the compaction smoke: a real multi-step bash task runs with a deliberately tiny context window so the auto-compaction listener fires MID-SESSION. Verifies the WORLD — a `compact/start…end` pair landed in the real log, the surface shrank (a replace node shadowed older nodes), and the agent still produced a correct final answer after compaction.
-- `tests/todo-write.e2e.ts` — loads the opt-in `todo_write` tool, then a real model drives it and the test verifies the resulting `todo/write` session event.
-- `tests/code-mode.e2e.ts` — the with-key Code Mode proof: a real model, a two-tool task, asserting the wire tool list was exactly `[run_code]`, the `tool/code-dispatch` events landed under the parent call, and the curated answer came back.
-
-These self-skip without `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY`. The keyless `tests/tui-keyless-smoke.e2e.ts` boots the real Loader tree in a PTY (the one sanctioned PTY surface): the base boot + `/plan` + `/exit`, a scripted-LLM conversation with a question dialog and tool round-trip, the Code Mode overlay welcome line, and the resume-failure exit path.
-
-## Snapshot tests
-
-`tests/snapshots/<scenario>/session.jsonl` supplies recorded user prompts and model chunks; sibling child logs drive subagents and workflows. The keyless suite executes those scripts through the real loop and tool implementations, then compares readable expected terminal cell/style output. Use `pnpm run test:snapshot:refresh` for presentation-only changes and `pnpm run test:snapshot:record` with a DeepSeek key when a recorded model journey changes. The implemented [TUI snapshot Agent Note](../../.agents/notes/implemented/testing/2026-07-18-tui-terminal-state-snapshots.md) owns the scenario matrix and the split between recorded journeys, transient package snapshots, and PTY coverage.

-[English](README.md) | 中文
-
-全屏交互式编码 agent（智能体）：DeepSeek V4、本地 bash 与文件系统工具、压缩（compaction）、subagent、工作流与全新 agent Ralph 迭代、plan mode（`/plan` 进入，`exit_plan_mode` 评审退出）、超时／溢出策略，以及通过 [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui-demo`](../../packages/examples/tui-demo) 提供的 JSONL 持久化；该应用从 `cordis.yml` 加载。同级 [`headless-agent`](../headless-agent/README.md) 以适合管道调用的单次任务形式运行同一能力类，[`acp-agent`](../acp-agent/README.md) 则通过 JSON-RPC 提供该能力。
-
-## 运行
-
-```sh
-# repo root .env (gitignored) or exported env:
-#   DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-…
-#   DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL=https://…   # optional; defaults to the public API
-pnpm run demo:tui
-```
-
-演示脚本和可安装的 `dsh` CLI（命令行界面，见 [`apps/cli`](../../apps/cli/README.md)）都会以此示例的 `cordis.yml` 作为已交付的默认配置启动；`dsh` 还会应用 `~/.dsh` 中的个人覆盖，并将调用目录作为工作区。
-
-输入一项编码任务。agent 使用 `read`/`write`/`edit` 文件系统工具处理常规文件操作，使用 `bash`（加上面向后台任务的通用 `task_output`/`task_list`/`task_kill`）执行 shell 命令、搜索和测试。每次 bash 调用都在新的 `bash -c` 中运行（系统提示词要求模型传递 `workdir`，而不是使用 `cd`）。文件系统工具和 bash 都会相对于会话工作区解析相对路径。agent 还可以通过 `subagent`/`subagent_fork` 委托。
-
-`todo_write` 任务跟踪器是选用的，不在已交付配置中：请将 `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-todo` 添加到 `cordis.yml`（或在 `~/.dsh` 下使用个人配置覆盖）以公开该工具。加载后，模型会把整表计划记录到会话日志，TUI 则渲染它。
-
-TUI 渲染 Markdown 历史、推理（reasoning）、工具自有的终端／diff／通用卡片、token 总量，以及加载 `todo_write` 时的最新计划。较长的工具正文保留首尾预览；Ctrl+O 展开或折叠所有卡片。Enter 用于提交，或在 agent 运行时进行 steering（中途引导）；Ctrl+R 切换推理，Escape 取消，`/help` 列出命令。`/plan` 为下一步骤选择 plan mode；`/plan <message>` 还会将消息提交到该步骤，`/plan off` 则在没有模型输入的情况下选择默认 mode。`/status` 会展开当前会话的标识、活动计数、精确 token／缓存 bucket、上下文用量和时间戳，而不中断正在运行的轮次。`/model` 打开当前提供方目录的键盘选择器；使用 Up/Down 聚焦模型，使用 Shift+Tab 循环切换为该模型公布的推理强度，再用 Enter 选择；也可以使用 `/model <model>` 和 `/model <provider>/<model>` 直接选择。`ask_user_question` 会打开一个位于左下方的宽键盘面板，包含批次进度和编号选项。
-
-### 恢复早先的会话
-
-每次运行默认都会启动新会话（其事件日志落在 `./.sessions/` 下）。如需 **继续** 先前对话，请将其 id 传给已安装的 `dsh` CLI：此时 `main` agent 会重新水化持久日志，而不会从头开始，因此模型会将早先轮次视为历史：
-
-```sh
-dsh --resume <prior-session-id>
-```
-
-`/resume` 打开可搜索键盘选择器，显示标题、活动、上一轮结果、模型路由、持久化目标阶段和实时／已持久化状态。已安装的 `dsh` 宿主会等待刷写完成，对当前应用执行 dispose（资源释放），然后以 `dsh --resume <id>` 替换进程。TUI 仍会在退出时打印该命令，并在自定义宿主无法移交时显示它。`dsh --resume <id>` 在启动上下文中提供 id，`cordis.yml` 会读取它（`resumeSessionId: !!js "typeof resumeSessionId === 'string' ? resumeSessionId : undefined"`）；没有标志时，agent 会开始新会话。缺失或无法读取的 id 不会启动 agent，而会发出 `agent-loop/config-start-failed`：TUI 打印失败并以非零状态退出。选择器没有跨进程会话锁，因此拥有并发宿主的部署必须自行协调会话所有权。
-
-## Code Mode
-
-[`code-mode.cordis.yml`](code-mode.cordis.yml) 在同一树上覆盖 worker 线程运行时和 `tools: { mode: code }`。模型会收到一个 `run_code` 传输工具，加上一份为可见工具生成的 TypeScript SDK；只有程序输出会返回模型上下文。使用 `mode: both` 可在 `run_code` 旁同时公开原生调用。执行契约详见 [Code Mode Agent Note（agent 决策记录）](../../.agents/notes/implemented/feature/2026-06-15-code-mode.md)。
-
-```sh
-pnpm run demo:code-mode        # this overlay under the TUI (default UI)
-pnpm run demo:code-mode acp    # the acp-agent example's same-shaped overlay
-```
-
-尝试一项横跨多个工具调用的任务，例如：
-
-> 统计 docs/ 下每个 `*.md` 文件的行数，并将最大的三个写入 summary.txt。
-
-然后观察 transcript（文本记录）：一次 `run_code` 调用、一个循环调用工具的程序，以及模型筛选后的结果，而不是五次原始工具输出往返。
-
-## 每个叶节点配置项所演示的内容
-
-此示例是轻量叶节点 `cordis.yml`：它选择可替换后端、加载一个应用包（package），并添加有意放在共享主干外的产品工具。主干（会话、系统提示词、工具、agent、不变式、`agent-loop`）和入口集群（JSONL 持久化、pi-tui 通道、预创建的 `main` agent）位于 [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui-demo`](../../packages/examples/tui-demo) 应用及其加载的 [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-agent-spine-demo`](../../packages/examples/agent-spine-demo) 组合包中；叶节点负责接线后端与面向模型的可选工具：
-
-| 配置项 | 演示内容 |
-|---|---|
-| `hmr` (`@cordisjs/plugin-hmr`) | 开发／演示的编辑-重载循环：它是 **叶节点** 配置项（不内置到应用），因为它依赖 Loader 的内部模块访问 |
-| `llm-deepseek` | 默认原生适配器 |
-| `bash` (`dsh-bash-local`) | 执行器实现：bash seam 中可替换的实现侧。面向模型的 `bash` schema（`tool-bash`）和通用 `task_*` 控制（`tool-tasks`）由 `dsh-agent-spine-demo` 提供，因此叶节点只选择执行器 |
-| `tui-agent` (`@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui-demo`) | 应用组合包：agent-spine 演示 + JSONL 持久化 + pi-tui 通道 + 预创建的 `main` agent |
-| `subagent`, `subagent-spawn`, `subagent-fork` | subagent 提供方注册表加两个进程内后端：新子 agent，以及用父 agent 已完成轮次前缀播种的子 agent |
-| `tool-subagent`, `tool-subagent-fork` | 两次面向模型的 `dsh-tool-subagent` 加载，每次绑定不同提供方，并以不同工具名（`subagent`、`subagent_fork`）公开 |
-| `workflow-workerthread`, `tool-workflow` | worker 线程工作流引擎及其面向模型的 `workflow` 工具，子调用通过 spawn 后端路由 |
-| `plan-mode` | 插件拥有的 `/plan [message]` 进入命令和 `/plan off` 退出命令、plan-mode 提示词策略、工具限制，以及经评审的 `exit_plan_mode` 转换 |
-| `fs-local`, `fs-policy`, `tool-fs` | 文件系统栈：本地 `ctx.fs` 提供方、先读后写／编辑策略门禁（位于 `fs/*` 事件门禁），以及面向模型的 `read`/`write`/`edit` 工具。相对路径相对于会话工作区解析 |
-
-## 端到端测试（`pnpm run test:e2e`）
-
-与 UI 无关的带密钥套件通过 `tests/harness.ts` 以程序方式组装完整栈（无 PTY、无 Loader）：
-
-- `tests/full-loop.e2e.ts`：canary 测试：真实模型通过真实 bash 工具运行 `echo e2e-ok`；断言 `tool/call`/`tool/result` 会话事件和最终答案。
-- `tests/coding-task.e2e.ts`：类 swebench 冒烟测试：临时目录包含 `add.js`（其中 `a - b` 写在本应是 `a + b` 的位置）和失败的 `add.test.js`；agent 必须修复错误并验证。测试会自行重新运行 `node add.test.js` 并检查文件，不信任 agent 的说法。
-- `tests/resume.e2e.ts`：跨进程持久连续性：第一次运行告诉真实模型一个密码并将轮次持久化到临时 JSONL 根目录，然后 dispose 整个上下文；第二次运行在同一根目录上创建新上下文，恢复会话 id 并要求模型回忆密码。只有重新水化的日志能够提供该回忆。
-- `tests/compaction.e2e.ts`：压缩冒烟测试：一项真实多步 bash 任务在故意设得很小的上下文窗口中运行，使自动压缩监听器在会话中途触发。测试验证外部状态：真实日志中出现 `compact/start…end` 对，模型可见内容缩减（一个替换节点遮蔽了较旧节点），且 agent 在压缩后仍给出正确最终答案。
-- `tests/todo-write.e2e.ts`：加载选用的 `todo_write` 工具，由真实模型驱动，测试验证产生的 `todo/write` 会话事件。
-- `tests/code-mode.e2e.ts`：带密钥 Code Mode 证明：使用真实模型和双工具任务，断言协议层工具列表精确为 `[run_code]`，`tool/code-dispatch` 事件位于父调用下，且筛选后的答案已返回。
-
-这些测试在没有 `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` 时自行跳过。无密钥 `tests/tui-keyless-smoke.e2e.ts` 通过 PTY 启动真实 Loader 树（唯一获准的 PTY 界面）：基础启动 + `/plan` + `/exit`，一次带问题对话框和工具往返的脚本 LLM（大语言模型）对话，Code Mode 覆盖配置的欢迎行，以及恢复失败退出路径。
-
-## 快照测试
-
-`tests/snapshots/<scenario>/session.jsonl` 提供已录制的用户提示词和模型分片；同级子日志驱动 subagent 和工作流。无密钥套件通过真实循环和工具实现执行这些脚本，然后比较可读的预期终端单元格／样式输出。对于仅涉及展示的变更，使用 `pnpm run test:snapshot:refresh`；已录制的模型流程改变时，使用 DeepSeek 密钥运行 `pnpm run test:snapshot:record`。已实现的 [TUI 快照 Agent Note](../../.agents/notes/implemented/testing/2026-07-18-tui-terminal-state-snapshots.md) 规定了场景矩阵，以及已录制旅程、包级瞬态快照与 PTY 覆盖之间的分工。

-    section: |
-          You are in plan mode. Stay in plan mode until exit_plan_mode succeeds or the user switches the session mode. Imperative language to implement changes means plan the implementation, not execute it. A user's conversational agreement — including an answer confirming something you asked — approves nothing and does not end plan mode; fold the confirmed decision into the plan and submit it through exit_plan_mode.
-
-          Explore first. Use non-mutating reads, searches, static analysis, and checks to ground the plan in the actual repository. Do not edit or write files, change configuration, run formatters or code generation that rewrites tracked files, commit, or otherwise carry out the plan. Prefer existing functions and patterns over new machinery.
-
-          The tool catalog stays the same across modes for request-cache stability. These plan-mode rules override any later tool description or guidance that suggests using mutation tools; those tools remain listed only to keep the request shape stable. Do not use todo_write to track this planning phase: it tracks implementation after an approved plan, while the plan itself belongs in exit_plan_mode.
-
-          Resolve discoverable facts by inspection. Use ask_user_question only for user-owned choices or material ambiguity that inspection cannot answer. Do not ask the user where code lives or how current behavior works when you can find out.
-
-          Make the plan decision-complete: state the goal and success criteria; group implementation changes by subsystem; identify public API, schema, and data-flow changes; cover edge cases, failure modes, tests, acceptance criteria, and explicit assumptions. Keep it concise enough to review but detailed enough that another engineer can implement it without making design decisions.
-
-          When ready, call exit_plan_mode with the complete plan markdown, starting with a # title. Make exit_plan_mode the only and final tool call in that assistant response: it presents the plan for approval, and implementation begins only in a later step after approval. Do not paste the final plan as a plain reply or ask "should I proceed?" through prose or ask_user_question. If review rejects it, incorporate the feedback and present again. If the review channel is unavailable or aborted, stay in plan mode and ask the user to switch modes manually; do not proceed with implementation.

 Bringing up a new `packages/client/<name>` plugin package (ui-workspace is the latest walked example; ui-sidebar/ui-question are good skeletons to copy):
 
 1. **Package skeleton**: `package.json` (`@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-<name>`, exports `.`/`./invariant`/`./client`/`./src/*`/`./package.json`, `dshClient` manifest, `files` list), `tsconfig.json` (extends `tsconfig.base.client.json`, one `references` entry per workspace dependency plus `support/invariants`), `tsdown.config.ts` (`clientBundle(id, ['lib/types/index.js', 'lib/types/invariant.js'])`), `src/index.ts` (empty node-half apply), `src/invariant.ts` (companion with a real reason), `src/css-modules.d.ts` when using CSS Modules, `README.md` with the Model Experience section.
-2. **Three registration surfaces, all required** (missing any one fails at a different, later point): the `tsconfig.client.json` aggregate `references` entry; a `dshClient` row in `apps/cli/cordis.yml`; an `apps/cli/package.json` dependency (Loader resolves each config-tree package against the composing app's URL — a row whose package is not an `apps/cli` dependency fails to import). `pnpm-workspace.yaml` already globs `packages/*/*`.

 3. **dshClient manifest semantics**: `platform: 'web'` always; `immediately: true` only for stage-one-prefetch infrastructure rows. `inject` lists package-name dependency edges — they are **informational only** (preflight display, HMR diffing); they do not sequence entry activation or apply order. Activation order is cordis fiber inject waiting on *services*, nothing else.
 4. **Registering into another package's slot**: if the declaring host provides no waitable service, your apply's order relative to the host's is unconstrained — a bare `slots.register` into its slot races boot (intermittent `slot "..." is not declared` page failures). Register with declaration-aware deferral: check `ctx.slots.spec(name)`, otherwise `ctx.slots.subscribe(name)` and register on the declaration event (SlotCore supports subscribing ahead of declaration); make the registration idempotent, and unsubscribe + dispose in the effect disposer. Only take a service edge in `inject` when the host actually provides one (ui-question → `'conversation'` is that case).

 ## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
 
-- **Only the Settings surface is translated** — other pages keep inline copy; repo-wide extraction into dictionaries is deferred.
-- **Locale switching re-renders subscribed consumers only** — sections not wired to `locale/change` keep their rendered text until remount.
+- **Most surfaces keep inline copy** — the standard seat is adopted by the Settings rows, sidebar, question composer, and model select; the remaining packages migrate in follow-up PRs.
+- **Registry-held text reads its translation once** — copy captured at registration time outside the slot render path (e.g. the `/model` command description in the command registry) keeps the language it was registered under until re-registration; slot-rendered copy follows switches live.

 `WorkspacesService.connectWorkspace(workspaceId)` resolves the session a New Session flow lands in: it reuses the workspace's existing blank session from the list mirror (`blank && cwd == workspace.path`) or calls `session.create({workspaceId})`, returning the session id for the caller to open. `SessionSummary.blank` mirrors the host's derived empty-log bit and only ever lowers on the client: seeded by `session.list` / the `host/session-added` frame, flipped false by the first ACCEPTED local `prompt()` (on the RPC success response — acceptance proves the user message is in the host log; a rejected first prompt keeps the session blank and reusable) and by any `running: true` status frame, re-aligned by every list re-pull. List surfaces hide blank rows; the store carries every row. `SessionsService.create` accepts an optional caller-preallocated SessionId and throws `SessionCreateError` (carrying `requestedSessionId`) on failure.
 
+## Pending queue projection
+
+`ConversationSnapshot.queue` is the Host's authoritative transient Queue snapshot; pending steering stays outside this projection. Each row carries its `InboxItemId`, complete editable text when every content block is text, and a flattened preview. `session/queue` replaces the whole projection; reconnect buffering retains only the latest snapshot, and neither durable turn events nor running-status changes guess that an item was claimed. `Session.updateQueue()` sends edit/remove operations without optimistic mutation, so the next Host snapshot is the sole visible commit and a claim race can surface `queue-item-not-found`.
+
 ## Code Mode sub-dispatch index
 
 `ConversationSnapshot.codeDispatches` groups a `run_code` call's sub-dispatches under their parent callId, in start order, using the native call-block shapes: a `tool/code-dispatch-start` event lands the `RunningToolCall` form (rows derive the running ring from the shape) and its `tool/code-dispatch` settlement replaces it in place with the `ToolResultNode` form, `callTime` carrying the paired start's time. A settle whose start fell outside the replay window appends directly with `callTime: null` (duration unknown — never a fabricated zero). Live mux frames and history replay build the identical index; sub-calls never join the surface `nodes` flow; per-parent array and map references are memo-stable across unrelated snapshot swaps.
@@ -26,6 +30,10 @@ SlotsService gives the renderer separate bare observables for `useSessions` and
 
 `SessionManager` retains the latest validated `session/title` control snapshot independently of list and session-instance arrival. Newer event seqs replace older snapshots, title timestamps contribute to list recency, and a subscription baseline discards any retained title beyond its `lastSeq` before the optional folded title arrives. Explicit session removal also clears the retained title. The client-facing `SessionSummary.title` is therefore only the actual durable title; `displayTitle` is always present and falls back through the cwd basename and session id. A cold persisted session keeps that fallback until opening or resuming it causes the host to fold and project its log-backed title. `ISession.rename` settles the `title` projection cell directly from the unary response's `{title, seq}` under the same higher-seq-wins rule — the list row and every `useProjection('title')` reader update ahead of the push frame, whose later replay of the same seq is a no-op.
 
+## Session forking
+
+`ISessions.fork({sessionId, atSeq?, increaseTitle?})` resolves only after the child summary is locally addressable, carrying source lineage and cwd with `blank: false`; callers choose whether to open it. With `increaseTitle: true`, the client renames the child from the source session's persisted title: a trailing `(N)` or `（N）` is incremented without changing bracket style, while any other title gets ` (1)` appended; the rename is skipped when the source has no persisted title, and a rename failure rejects the promise but leaves the created child in place. This option is not sent in the Host fork request. A `workspace-attach-failed` response still identifies a child already published by the Host, so `SessionManager` reconciles that partial success before `SessionForkError` reaches the caller instead of making a retry create a duplicate child.
+
 ## Session model selection
 
 Each resident `Session` owns a `modelSelection` snapshot containing the current provider/model target, provider-grouped directory, provider-local failures, and the `idle`/`loading`/`ready`/`selecting`/`error` state. History establishes or refreshes the current target, opening a selector refreshes the directory, and selection failures preserve the last target and usable groups. Directory and selection operations share a monotonically increasing generation so an older response cannot overwrite a newer selection. A reconnect rebuild restores the target reported by the Host without replacing unchanged selection substructure.

 ## 会话模型选择
 
 每个常驻 `Session` 都拥有一个 `modelSelection` 快照，其中包含当前提供方/模型目标、按提供方分组的目录、逐提供方失败记录，以及 `idle`／`loading`／`ready`／`selecting`／`error` 状态。历史记录会建立或刷新当前目标，打开选择器会刷新目录；选择失败会保留上一个目标和可用分组。目录与选择操作共用单调递增的代次，因此较旧响应无法覆盖较新的选择。重连重建会恢复 Host 报告的目标，同时不替换未变化的选择子结构。

 Approvals take over the composer through the chain this package declares: `ApprovalPanel` registers as a selector-routed `'conversation.composer'` entry (the ui-question pattern) and occupies the composer in place of the InputBar while an approval wait is pending (amber strip, justification headline, paired command line from the running call's args, one-shot refuse/allow). The `PendingApproval` domain face in `contract/slots.ts` owns the wire encoding — the `ApprovalResponsePayload` value with the audit correlation — over the runtime's `PendingWait` carrier; the broadcast `approval/resolved` frame settles the wait and restores the composer. The sidebar mirrors the blocked state through the manager-tracked `waitingApproval` list bit (lit for uninstantiated sessions too), which outranks the running ring until the question resolves. Pending waits leave the message flow entirely: questions (ui-question) and approvals (ApprovalPanel) both answer through the composer takeover, so no display-only placeholder card remains. The composer's bottom-row Access seat mounts `PermissionSelect`, fed by the host-computed `permissions` projection through the standard-kit `useProjection` (key absence hides the chip); the chip opens a Menu-primitive dropdown whose kebab-case preset names render as title-case labels (the `/permission` popup's display transform twin), and a pick submits the `/permission <preset>` command line through the bar's injected `command` callback.
 
+Logged non-user messages render as a default-collapsed `上下文注入` disclosure. It shares the Tool calls header geometry and interaction with `ToolRow` through the package-internal `DisclosureRow`, while retaining context semantics: the expanded 141px scrollport shows bounded inline JSON for both `content` and `source`, and no tool state, summary, or keyed toolview dispatch is synthesized ([decision](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/feature/2026-07-30-web-context-injection-disclosure.md)).
+
 Generic tool rows classify the built-in bash, read, search, write, edit, and run_code names into dedicated visual variants. The filesystem variants render the edit icon and a path summary; that path is a hover-underline link that opens the file with the host OS default application (`host.openPath`, relative paths resolve against the session cwd). Tool rows are not whole-row click targets and do not open the details panel. The code variant summarizes with the model-authored `description` and expands to the program itself; its logged sub-dispatches render as always-visible nested rows through the SAME keyed toolview hole (custom registrations and the GenericToolCard fallback apply to sub-rows unchanged). Cordis lifecycle tools reuse those generic variants while presenting `Inspect`, `Mount temporary Plugin`, and `Unmount temporary Plugin` with a shared Cordis accent; mount keeps the code variant's expandable source rendering.
 
 A tool call declaring the `terminal` render intent renders its command output inline, at both conversation render sites, through ui-primitives' `TerminalBlock`. `contract/terminal-card-model.ts` is the single derivation from the snapshot's `callView`/`resultView` pair, so the sites cannot disagree about a command, its cwd, or its exit status; it yields null — the generic path — for any other card tag, including one this client version does not know. Both sites therefore also show the card's run-state dot, which is the same `StateDot` semantic a tool row's leading icon carries, so a row and its own card always agree about one command's state. A multi-line command gets one prompt row per line, with the dot marking the call once on the first row — the exit status is the whole call's, so a dot per line would claim a per-line outcome bash does not report. The keyed `BashRow` carries the card resident below its summary row; since tool rows are no longer details-panel click targets, the card's copy and expand controls are the row's only interactions. The render-site fallback row keeps the card behind its existing expand control. Rows cap at `CHAT_TERMINAL_MAX_LINES` (8) against the panel's 16, which is what keeps a summary surface bounded — the panel stays the single-call reading surface. Inline output is licensed for this intent alone; a generic tool's content remains panel-only ([decision](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/feature/2026-07-28-web-terminal-card.md)).
 
 Tool rows are slots too — the standalone tool ring (`ToolViewRegistry`/`ctx.toolviews`/outlet) is retired. The chat entry declares the keyed `'conversation.chat.toolview'` hole (session scope; the key space is runtime-open); its render site dispatches per row via `entryKey: toolName` with `GenericToolCard` as the call-site `fallback`. The owner payload is the uniform `ToolRowOwnerProps` (`callId`/`toolName`/`block`/`openFile`) and `ToolRowProps` pre-composes it with the session standard kit. A registrant is a plain plugin: `ctx.slots.register({ name: 'conversation.chat.toolview', key: '<tool>', inject? }, Row)` with `inject: ['slots', 'conversation']` as the load-order seam (apply mounts ConversationService after the chat registration, so the service being present guarantees the slot is declared); session differentiation happens inside the component (`useSessions` reading `parentId` — the bash sample is the third-party-posture exemplar). Trajectory/waterfall toolview slots share this shape and land with their own render sites (RendersCheck rejects a declaration nobody renders).
 
-The todo surfaces are two registrations over that shape, both plain registrant plugins with `inject: ['slots', 'conversation']`. `TodoRow` takes the `'conversation.chat.toolview'` key `todo_write` and summarizes what the call attempted (`<done>/<total> 已完成 · <active item>` parsed from its args, falling back to the generic summary on malformed or wrongly-shaped model JSON, and keeping the generic dot for non-ok execution states so a cancelled call never reads as a completed update). `TodoDock` takes the `'conversation.input.dock'` list slot at `order: -1` — above the queue rows — and is the plan strip: it reads the host-computed `todos` projection via `useProjection` (standing plan: latest `todo/write` with no later `turn/start`) and renders `TodoPanel`, which takes the plain list, hides itself while the list is empty, and starts collapsed as a header of title plus `"<done>/<total> tasks · <n> in progress"` (status glyphs are the figma check / progress / dashed-pending set). The dock adapter owns the selection so the panel stays a pure function of its props; the standing list lives here rather than in the row so the row stays one line. Anything the input-zone composer chain hides (a `conversation.composer` takeover such as ui-question's) hides the whole dock, this strip included.

Anything the input-zone composer chain hides (a `conversation.composer` takeover such as ui-question's) hides the whole dock, this strip included.
+
+`QueueDock` is the terminal input-dock entry at `order: 20`. It hides while empty, renders one pending row directly, and defaults two or more rows to a collapsed `"<n> 条排队消息"` header whose button expands or collapses the complete list. The header exposes `aria-expanded` and `aria-controls`; the expanded list scrolls within a 180px height bound. An active edit or mutation keeps its rows visible, and emptying the queue restores the collapsed default for the next queue. Each visible row remains a single-line preview with its exact-occurrence edit and delete actions.
 
 Per-session UI state for selection and the active view lives in the declared chat store (`stores.ts` `createChatStore`); the InputHub owns the composer state machine and mirrors its draft into that store for persistence. Apply passes one store handle to the strict session subtree, chat view, and details registrations, so each session shares one instance and the framework owns its lifecycle. Components are pure: the framework standard kit supplies `useSession`/`sessionId`, global `useSessions`/`useWorkspaces`, and the input machine's `useInput`/`inputActions`; store faces and inject factories supply the remaining state and callbacks.
 
-The composer bar declares session-scoped single seats for `'conversation.input.plan'` (right of the local access-mode control) and `'conversation.input.model'` (immediately before the pending indicator and send/stop button), plus list slots for overlay, dock, left, and right input extensions. Feature packages own each control and its state; ui-conversation supplies placement, the `locked` owner prop, and the standard slot shares. While the `plan` projection's effective target is plan mode, InputBar swaps its textarea placeholder to the plan-task wording, localized through the `command.hint` locale namespace this package registers and shared verbatim with the claimed `/plan` command hint (a host-folded value read through the standard-kit `useProjection`; owner-supplied placeholders win). A pending composer takeover remains mounted when another conversation view is active so the blocked agent can still receive its answer; without a pending interaction, the active-session composer belongs to Chat. The resident no-session shell uses `DisabledInputBar` and therefore dispatches no session-scoped control seats.

 `src/client/` is organized for the future package split: `contract/` is the sole inter-domain shared face (`slots.ts` slot declarations + composed slot props including the tool-row contract, `views.ts` shared primitives, `tool-call-model.ts`); the `skeleton/`, `chat/`, and `toolviews/` (sample registrants) domain directories import contract files and never each other; `apply.ts` is the only assembly point allowed to import all three domains. The `/client` export surface is the contract only — `apply`/`inject`, the two service classes, and the `contract/` type families; implementation components (skeleton, chat rows) and the store factory stay internal and reach the page exclusively through apply's slot registrations (tests take them via the `./src/*` subpath).

 ## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
 
-- **The stats line has no duration segment** — assistant `usage` carries token accounting only; elapsed-time needs a host data source.
+- **Stats-line durations cover the in-window flow only** — LLM and tool wall times fold the snapshot's assistant `timing` and tool call/result pairs, so nodes outside the loaded event window (older history) are not counted.
 - **Details panel is the minimal form and currently has no entry point** — selected call args/result raw display; the Input/Output/Metadata switch, Prev/Next stepping, and See-in-trajectory deep link are deferred. Tool rows stopped being details-panel click targets and nothing replaced that gesture, so `ChatViewInjected.openDetails` is implemented but uncalled and the panel (including its terminal card) is unreachable in the assembled application; its rendering stays covered by mounting it with a selection directly.
-- **Assistant per-message paging is a reserved slot** — drawn in the design, not implemented. The finalized IconActions row (copy / branch / clock) ships; branch remains a chrome stub.
+- **Assistant per-message paging is a reserved slot** — drawn in the design, not implemented. The finalized content IconActions row (copy / branch / clock) ships under text output only; branch forks through the turn containing that message, increments the inherited title on the client, and then opens the child, while a fork or rename failure leaves the source selected.
 - **The sparkle icon for the others tool row is a hand-drawn approximation** — the design glyph's vector geometry is not exportable locally; promotion into ui-primitives waits on an exact export.
 - **The approval panel's "Always allow this type" is deferred** — durable grants need a grant-storage design; only allow-once/reject answer today.
 - **TodoPanel truncates long item text to one ellipsized line** — the figma strip has no wrap or expand affordance; full text is not readable inline.
+- **Queue edit is text-only** — rows containing non-text blocks still show a flattened preview, but their edit control is disabled because the inline editor cannot preserve those blocks. A text row's edit mode replaces delete with save and cancel; Enter saves and Escape cancels. QueueDock exposes no send-now control.
+- **Web exposes pending Queue only** — the Host omits pending steering from the Queue snapshot until steering has its own interaction. A consumed `steering/message` still renders in the durable transcript so external steering remains truthful on replay.

 视图环本身就是 slot：会话注册声明 `'conversation.view'` 列表 slot（Session scope），并将其列在 `children` 表中；ConversationRoot 通过 renderSlot share 渲染活跃配置项（`only: <active id>`）；视图标签页从环账本的注册选项（`id`／`order`／`label`）投影而来。聊天视图是该包自身的环配置项；其他插件（ui-trajectory）通过普通的 `ctx.slots.register` 贡献标签页。先前包内的视图注册表（`registerView`／`ViewEntry`／`ConversationViewMap` 及 chrome 附加表）已退役，逐视图 chrome 则被拆入视图组件自身。

 声明 `terminal` 渲染意图的工具调用，会在两个对话渲染点上都通过 ui-primitives 的 `TerminalBlock` 内联渲染其命令输出。`contract/terminal-card-model.ts` 是从快照的 `callView`／`resultView` 对推导的唯一位置，因此两个渲染点不可能在命令、cwd 或退出状态上产生分歧；对任何其他 card 标签——包括当前客户端版本不认识的标签——它返回 null，落回通用路径。因此两个渲染点也都显示卡片的运行状态点，它与工具行行首图标承载同一套 `StateDot` 语义，所以一行与其自身的卡片对同一条命令的状态总是一致。多行命令的每一行各占一个提示行，状态点只在第一行为整次调用标记一次——退出状态属于整次调用，因此每行一枚就会声称一个 bash 并不报告的逐行结果。键控的 `BashRow` 把卡片常驻在摘要行下方；由于工具行已不再是详情面板的点击目标，卡片的复制与展开控件就是该行唯一的交互。渲染点兜底行则保持其既有的展开控件。行的上限是 `CHAT_TERMINAL_MAX_LINES`（8），面板为 16，正是这一点让摘要面保持有界——面板仍是单次调用的阅读面。内联输出只对该意图开放；通用工具的内容仍然只在面板中呈现（[决策](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/feature/2026-07-28-web-terminal-card.md)）。

-Goal surface plugin, browser half: the `GoalBar` strip in the `conversation.input.dock` list (order 1, tucked against the composer). The live goal arrives through `useProjection('goal')` — the host-computed whole value seeded by the history tail page and updated by `session/projection` frames — so the plugin owns no store, no refresh chain, and no event listener. The slot inject face carries only the four mutation verbs (edit / pause / resume / clear over the `goal.*` wire domain — an active goal offers the pause action, a paused one resume); each reads the CAS ref from the session's current projected value at call time and surfaces the settled RPC error inline (the RPC's compare-and-set is the staleness guard — there is no client fence). Goal creation stays on the `/goal` host command; loading, absent, and completed goals render nothing.

 Shell plugin: three-column AppFrame (drag handles and concession chain) plus the `ctx.layout` panel-geometry service; it registers into the runtime-owned `root` slot and declares `sidebar`, `conversation`, `details`, and `conversation.empty`. The sidebar is fixed-width (only details shrinks, then auto-closes); a closed sidebar retains a 56px control rail while details closes to zero width. The package also seats the theme presenter: it consumes resolved `ctx.theme` snapshots and projects them onto the document (`html { color-scheme }` for native UA chrome, `body[data-ds-dark-theme]` from the active color scheme, plus the theme's alias tokens as inline variables on body).
 
-AppFrame always mounts the conversation and details columns; a connected Session renders through `SessionProvider`. The transient layout store starts both panels at their default widths and never reads or writes `localStorage`. Hero and other unselected states derive a zero rendered details width without changing that stored preference. AppFrame retains the last non-blank Session id across those states: the first Session opens at the default width, returning to the same Session restores its unchanged width, and selecting a different Session closes details before paint. The conversation owner share is empty, while the sidebar owner share contains only `collapsed` and `width`; registrants obtain business data from standard hooks and actions from their own inject faces.

 ## Known Limitations and Deferred Work

+- **Panel geometry is transient** — reload restores the sidebar default and details closed; switching between distinct Session ids also closes details and forgets its dragged width, while unselected surfaces render details at zero width without modifying geometry.
 - **Concession-chain auto-close derives a zero width without touching the preferred width** — the panel restores itself when the window widens; consumers must not read the stored details width as the rendered truth.
 - **Scroll anchoring during squeeze reflow is not implemented** — deferred with the virtualized-list project.

 The component renders one question at a time with progress navigation, single- and multi-select choices, recommendation badges derived from label suffixes, and custom answers. Question detail reuses the assistant-output `MarkdownText` primitive, including its GFM rendering and untrusted-content policy. The capped card keeps its title, navigation, and submission actions fixed while long detail and choices share an internal scroll region. Single-select choices advance immediately, and Enter submits once every question is answered or skipped; Enter during IME composition confirms the input candidate without advancing. It submits one structured answer batch for the whole request: “Skip this question” retains other drafts and emits the existing blank `{ selected: [] }` shape for that item, while close rejects the whole wait as `ASK_CANCELLED`.
 
+A request whose single question declares a presentation intent renders as that intent's own surface instead. `plan-review` — set by `dsh-plan-mode` on the `exit_plan_mode` review — takes the waiting-approval card shape: a `Plan review` strip, the plan as the scrolling markdown body, the question text as the card's accessible name, and one decision row of `Chat about it` / `Refuse` / `Approve`. Approve and Refuse answer with the asker's own option labels (the intent names which label approves, so the verdict never rides option order) and keep the asker's descriptions as tooltips; `Chat about it` rejects the wait as `ASK_CANCELLED`, returning the composer so the user can say what they want instead. The card claims a request only when it can send every answer that request allows: one question, the intent declared, the plan present as `detail`, the named approve label offered, and a binary single choice (at most one option besides approve, not multi-select). Anything else — no intent, a batch of several questions, a missing plan, an approve label naming no option, a third option, a multi-select decision — stays on the generic flow, which can express it. An intent changes the layout, never which answers are reachable.
+
 Selection state is local to a component keyed by the request rpcId. A replay with the same id preserves a still-mounted draft, while `question/resolved` from the host removes the composer. The host remains authoritative: successful HTTP delivery does not remove pending state locally.
 
+Composer chrome copy (pager, buttons, placeholders, validation feedback) is bilingual: the plugin registers zh/en dictionaries under the `question` namespace of `dsh-client-locale` and hands the entry its bound translator plus the locale snapshot source through the inject face, so a locale switch re-renders a mounted composer. Question and option text arrives from the model and renders verbatim; carrier failure messages also display untranslated.
+
 ## Model Experience
 
 Indirectly, through `dsh-tool-ask-user`; that package owns the model-visible tool schema and structured result.

 组件每次渲染一个问题，提供进度导航、单选和多选选项、由标签后缀派生的推荐徽标，以及自定义答案。问题详情复用助手输出的 `MarkdownText` 原语，包括其 GFM 渲染与不受信内容策略。封顶卡片保持标题、导航与提交动作固定，超长的详情与选项共享内部滚动区。单选选项会立即前进；所有问题均已回答或跳过后，Enter 会提交；IME 输入法组合期间按 Enter 只会确认输入候选，不会前进。组件为整个请求提交一批结构化答案：「跳过此问题」会保留其他草稿，并为该项发出既有的空 `{ selected: [] }` 形状；关闭则以 `ASK_CANCELLED` 拒绝整个等待。
 
+若某个请求的唯一问题声明了呈现意图，则改为渲染该意图自己的界面。`plan-review` —— 由 `dsh-plan-mode` 在 `exit_plan_mode` 审阅上设置 —— 采用等待审批卡片的形状：一条 `Plan review` 条带、计划作为可滚动的 markdown 主体、问题文本作为卡片的无障碍名称，以及一行 `Chat about it` / `Refuse` / `Approve` 的决定操作。Approve 与 Refuse 用提问方自己的选项标签回答（意图指名哪个标签表示批准，因此裁决绝不依赖选项顺序），并把提问方的描述保留为 tooltip；`Chat about it` 以 `ASK_CANCELLED` 拒绝该等待，让编辑器归位，用户可以直接说出他想说的话。卡片只在能够发出该请求允许的每一个答案时才接管：只有一个问题、声明了意图、计划以 `detail` 存在、提供了被指名的批准标签，且是二元单选（除批准外最多一个选项，且非多选）。其他任何情形 —— 没有意图、一批含多个问题、缺少计划、批准标签未命中任何选项、出现第三个选项、多选决定 —— 都留在能够表达它的通用流程上。意图改变的只是布局，从不改变可达的答案。
+
 选择状态只存在于以请求 rpcId 为 key 的组件本地。使用相同 id 回放时，只要组件仍挂载，就会保留草稿；主机发出的 `question/resolved` 则会移除编辑器。主机仍具有最终决定权：HTTP 交付成功不会在本地移除待处理状态。
 
+编辑器外框文案（翻页器、按钮、占位符、校验提示）是双语的：插件在 `dsh-client-locale` 的 `question` 命名空间下注册 zh/en 词典，并通过 inject face 把绑定的翻译函数和 locale 快照源交给该配置项，因此切换语言会重新渲染已挂载的编辑器。问题与选项文本来自模型并原样渲染；载体失败消息也不经翻译直接显示。
+
 ## 模型体验
 
 通过 `dsh-tool-ask-user` 间接影响；该包拥有模型可见的工具 schema 和结构化结果。

 The picker lists real Host Workspace entities through the global `useWorkspaces` hook. Selecting a Workspace invokes the slot owner's `onPick` callback to retarget the frontend Session object. Each registration declares a **directory-flow child hole** (`single` kind: `conversation.hero.workspace.directoryFlow` / `sidebar.workspaces.directoryFlow`) that the composed picker package's client half fills with its picking interaction — the [`-native`](../../host/directory-picker-native/README.md) backend's renderless OS-chooser driver today, an in-app browsing dialog under a `-browse` composition. The flat **Open local folder...** action renders only while the surface's hole is occupied (occupancy read per menu render; an empty hole means the composition has no picking affordance — the seam's documented no-flow default). This package owns the trigger and the adoption: the occupant reports one picked path per open through the hole's owner conversation (`open`/`busy`/`onPicked`/`onCancel`/`onError`), and the owner adopts it through the object layer, selecting the committed Workspace only after its list projection has refreshed; cancellation is silent, and errors land in the retryable folder dialog whose **Choose again** reopens the flow. **Create a new workspace** retains the name dialog and disables names already present in that list, while the Host remains authoritative for concurrent or non-UI callers. The runtime Session and Workspace services own materialization. The Workspace row's Delete action opens a confirmation that states the retention boundary, blocks duplicate submission, and keeps failures open; success removes the group while its Sessions remain under Ungrouped. The Session row's Rename action opens the same browser-owned dialog pattern prefilled with the row's display title: no client-side conflict rule exists (the host normalizes and may reject with `title-invalid`, rendered in the dialog alert), and confirming an unchanged title is deliberately allowed — it pins the current automatic title against regeneration.
 
+The Session row's Fork action forks at the source's last completed turn, increments the inherited persisted title on the client, and then opens the child; a trailing ASCII or fullwidth parenthesized number is incremented in the same style, while an unnumbered title gets ` (1)` appended. The source and child always appear as peer rows within a workspace group, with lineage retained only as session data. A fork or rename failure leaves the current selection unchanged; after a rename failure, the created child remains in the list.

 Both target slots are declared by other plugins, so `apply` registers through declaration-aware deferral and re-registers after a declaring slot is restored.

 The concrete `ReactLoopAgent`, its queued input, outbox, and run 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. One prepared session can be claimed by only one concrete driver, and everything observable happens through session events and the `agent/*` event taxonomy.
 
-The unified `send()` primitive routes content and source by (`target` × `wakeup`); `followup`/`steer`/`inject` are its fixed-preset aliases. A `next-turn` item joins the queued FIFO, waking the driver unless `wakeup: false`; admission happens before any turn opens. The loop opens a private next-step acceptance window before `agent/prompt-submit` and closes it before `turn/end`. During that window, `steer()` and `inject()` stage in one outbox; an allowed admission opens the turn, records the prompt and returned `additionalContexts`, then drains the staged input before the first request. A blocked or failed admission writes no prompt or hook-produced context. A caller-staged context-only batch then takes idle injection's immediate append, while steering and context staged beside it remain pending for retry or a later admitted prompt. Outside the window, steering becomes a waking queued prompt and injection immediately appends `user/message` without opening a turn or running the model. Every inbox enqueue publishes `agent/inbox/enqueue` with the resolved queued-or-steering placement; taking it publishes `agent/inbox/dequeue` with the same placement, and `cancel()` without `keepInbox` publishes `agent/inbox/discard`.

Edit publishes `agent/inbox/update`; steering and claimed occurrences return `not-found`. Claim publishes `agent/inbox/dequeue` and irrevocably removes the live address before prompt admission, so a racing update cannot rewrite durable history; `cancel()` without `keepInbox` publishes `agent/inbox/discard`.

-- `agent.send(message, options)` — the one delivery primitive over the (`target` × `wakeup`) matrix. `message` is an already identified, frozen `UserMessage`; callers normally create it with `createUserMessage()` before routing begins. `SendOptions` owns only the `target` and `wakeup` policy. The agent publishes or queues the complete value as-is without minting or replacing its identity. The message's `agent/inbox/enqueue`/`dequeue`/`discard` events carry it so callers can correlate a queued item with its lifecycle; enqueue and dequeue also carry the resolved `queued | steering` placement so repeated message identities retire from the correct FIFO. `target: 'next-turn'` queues one independent FIFO item that, if admitted, becomes the sole ordinary prompt in its turn. `target: 'next-step'` with `wakeup: true` submits steering, while `target: 'next-step'` with `wakeup: false` injects durable context without running the model. The [one-send-one-turn Agent Note](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/simplification/2026-07-17-one-send-one-turn.md) owns the turn rationale.
+- `agent.send(message, options)` — the one delivery primitive over the (`target` × `wakeup`) matrix. `message` is an already identified, frozen `UserMessage`; callers normally create it with `createUserMessage()` before routing begins. `SendOptions` owns only the `target` and `wakeup` policy. Each accepted FIFO occurrence receives its own `InboxItemId`, even when callers reuse a `MessageId`; `agent/inbox/enqueue`/`update` and the terminal `dequeue` or `discard` carry that complete `InboxItem`. `target: 'next-turn'` queues one independent FIFO item that, if admitted, becomes the sole ordinary prompt in its turn. `target: 'next-step'` with `wakeup: true` submits steering, while `target: 'next-step'` with `wakeup: false` injects durable context without running the model. The [one-send-one-turn Agent Note](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/simplification/2026-07-17-one-send-one-turn.md) owns the turn rationale.
+- `agent.updateInbox(itemId, action)` — synchronously edits or removes one still-pending queued occurrence. Edit keeps its `MessageId`, `InboxItemId`, source, and FIFO position while replacing frozen content; remove emits the occurrence's terminal discard. Steering and claimed occurrences return `not-found`.
 - `agent.followup(input)` — the `next-turn`/wakeup preset of `send()`: queue an ordinary follow-up turn and wake the driver.
 - `agent.steer(input)` — the `next-step`/wakeup preset: during prompt admission or an open turn, stage steering for the next safe boundary without dispatching `agent/prompt-submit`; outside that acceptance window, delegate to a woken follow-up. Admission failure leaves staged steering for retry or a later admitted prompt, while cancellation or disposal may discard it.
 - `agent.inject(input)` — the `next-step`/no-wakeup preset: append model-facing context without running the model; the next request sees a verbatim user-role message whose provenance is carried by the required `input.source`. During prompt admission or an open turn, injection waits in the outbox for the next safe boundary. Outside that acceptance window, it appends immediately without opening a turn; a context-only admission batch takes this fallback if admission closes without a turn, while context staged beside steering remains pending with it. Persistence reacts to `session/event` independently. Injection emits no `agent/inbox/*` event.

The same pass rejects non-contiguous seqs, misplaced or malformed metadata, empty or duplicate provenance, non-earlier sources, invalid positional ranges, replacements that fail to cite every shadowed surface entry, and a `tool/result` replacement that changes anything except one current result's `content`; `SurfaceManager` shares the atomic transition while retaining only its incremental sequence cache.

+- `isAppendSurfaceEvent(event)` / `isReplacementSurfaceEvent(event)` — split a formed surface event by marker variant. Append-origin events are the durable source for a human transcript, which is not the model-visible surface: a landed replacement shadows the range it summarizes, so projecting a transcript from `session.surface` erases conversation the reader already saw. Consumers that must send exactly what the model sees keep reading `session.surface`.

Absent ⇒ plain lexicographic name order. Applied to the collected tools BEFORE the `system-prompt/assemble` waterfall — like the sections' `order` sort, it canonicalizes what the registry contributed (registration order is a plugin-load artifact), and a waterfall listener that mutates the list owns the determinism of what it emits. Misconfiguration fails loud: a list without exactly one rest entry, or with duplicates, throws at load; a listed name with no registered tool rejects every `assemble()`; a tool provider returning the reserved rest-entry name also rejects. Under the shipped loop the turn fails before any model request.

 Tools optionally own pure `presentCall()` and `presentResult()` render intents, so UIs do not special-case tool names:
 
 - Call views are `{ card: 'generic', title, kind?, rawInput?, content?, locations? }`, `{ card: 'terminal', title, description?, cwd? }`, or `{ card: 'diff', title, diffs, locations? }`.
-- Result views are `{ card: 'generic', title?, content? }`, `{ card: 'terminal', title?, output?, exitCode?, signal? }`, or `{ card: 'diff', title?, diffs }`.

 Returning `undefined` selects generic fallback. Presenters depend only on their arguments and the durable result because UIs call them during live streaming and log replay. `output.presentationMeta(args, value)` derives JSON metadata for direct surface calls; that metadata persists with `tool/result` and returns to `presentResult`, while the canonical value itself remains execution-local and is never replayed. Nested Code dispatches do not compute metadata. `defineTool` soft-validates older logged arguments and falls back instead of crashing replay. `dsh-tool-bash` and `dsh-tool-fs` are the reference implementations; the [canonical-output Agent Note](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-20-canonical-tool-output-contract.md) owns the value/presentation split and the [render-intent Agent Note](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-02-tool-render-intent-union.md) owns card vocabulary.

+The credential capability seam, as three-package shape dictates (interface / implementation / consumers):
+
+| Package | Role |
+|---|---|
+| [`credentials/`](credentials/README.md) | Abstract `ctx.credentials`: branded `CredentialRef` references, per-operation `resolve`, UI-safe `describe`, fail-loud `set`/`unset`, the `credentials/updated` commit event |
+| [`credentials-local/`](credentials-local/README.md) | File/environment provider: the live process environment (read-only, wins) layered over `$DSH_HOME/.env` (writable, byte-preserving line edits, hot-reloaded) |
+
+Configuration files carry *references* to secrets (`apiKeyEnv: DEEPSEEK_API_KEY`), never the secrets: the settings document stays safe to sync and render, and rotating a value touches no configuration. The LLM adapters are the first consumers — they resolve their reference once per model request, which is what makes a key stored moments ago reach the very next request without restarting anything.
+
+The seam shape leaves room for keyring-, helper-command-, and KMS-backed providers.

+# dsh-credentials-local
+
+English | [中文](README.zh.md)
+
+File-backed [credentials](../credentials/README.md) provider: two layers, one honest precedence.
+
+| Layer | Source id | Writable | Wins |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Live process environment | `env` | no | always |
+| `$DSH_HOME/.env` document | `file` | yes (`set`/`unset`) | otherwise |
+
+The environment wins because a launch-time override (`DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=… dsh`, CI secrets, a dev shell sourcing the repo `.env`) is operator intent for this run — and because it cannot be edited from inside, it must be *visibly* read-only: `describe()` reports `source: 'env', writable: false`, and `set`/`unset` reject instead of writing a change the reader would never see. Resolution reads `process.env` live and never writes it back.
+
+## Config
+
+| Field | Default | Meaning |
+|---|---|---|
+| `path` | `<harness home>/.env` | Credentials document location. |
+| `dshHome` | `$DSH_HOME` or `~/.dsh` | Harness home used when `path` is omitted. |
+| `watch` | `true` | Hot-publish external edits. |
+| `debounceMs` | `100` | Watcher write-settle window. |
+
+## The document
+
+dotenv format, parsed with `dotenv` and edited by a physical-line editor that preserves every byte it does not own: `set` rewrites the first assignment of its key in place with that line's own ending (dropping later duplicates, which dotenv's last-wins reading would otherwise let override the edit), `unset` removes only the owning line, and comments, unrelated lines, CRLF endings, and the continuation lines of another key's quoted multi-line value all survive verbatim. Every write first re-reads the document under the cross-process writer lock of [`dsh-atomic-write`](../../util/atomic-write/README.md) and publishes anything it had not observed, then commits atomically with mode `0600` under an owner-only (`0700`) directory — so a concurrent writer or an external edit inside the watcher's debounce window is folded in rather than overwritten.
+
+Values are rendered in the narrowest style dotenv reads back verbatim — bare, then single-quoted (fully literal), then double-quoted (only without backslashes, which double-quote reading expands). A value no style can represent, and any entry that already spans multiple physical lines, fails loud instead of being corrupted silently. An empty stored value is absent, per the seam rule.
+
+## Hot reload
+
+External edits publish `credentials/updated` per changed reference after the snapshot is replaced **wholesale** — an entry deleted on disk never lingers in memory. The provider's own writes are recognized by content and publish exactly their one commit event. An unreadable document at runtime keeps the last good snapshot and warns; an absent file is an empty store; an unreadable file at boot fails loud. Keys that are not POSIX identifiers are preserved file content the seam cannot address.
+
+## Security boundary
+
+The document is `0600` under a `0700` directory, which stops other OS users — **not** the model. Tool processes (bash, the filesystem tools) run as the same user, so under the shipped `danger-full-access` default they can read this file exactly like any other file the user owns, and no sandbox mode singles it out. What the harness does hold to is narrower: it never hands the model a resolved path to the document, and never loads it into the process environment (see [app-boot's Personal config](../../ui/app-boot/README.md#personal-config)), so reaching the value takes a deliberate read of a path the agent was not given.
+
+That is discretion, not a boundary. A deployment that must keep provider keys away from its own agent cannot get there with file permissions; an OS-keychain provider — a store the model's processes cannot read at all — is the deferred answer and belongs beside this provider as a sibling package.
+
+## Model Experience
+
+Indirectly, through the consuming LLM adapters: stored values authorize their provider requests, and the adapter owns every model-visible surface.
+
+#### KV Cache effect
+
+No direct invalidation; credentials never enter a request prefix.
+
+## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
+
+- **Multi-line entries refuse `set`/`unset`** — the line editor will not rewrite an entry it would corrupt; `describe` reports them `writable: false` and edits must go to the file directly.
+- **Same-reference concurrent writes are last-write-wins** — the writer lock and the read-modify-write keep concurrent writers from dropping each other's entries, but two writers editing one reference still resolve to the later write; there is no revision check.
+- **A same-UID process can read the document** — see [Security boundary](#security-boundary): only a confining sandbox mode denies it, and an OS-keychain provider is deferred.
+- **Unrepresentable values fail loud** — control characters, or a mix of both quote styles with backslashes, cannot round-trip the dotenv line format.
+- **Environment changes are invisible** — `process.env` is read live per resolution, but no event can announce a change there.
+- **Atomic, not crash-durable** — inherited from `dsh-atomic-write`; the store re-reads on boot.

+| `$DSH_HOME/.env` 文档 | `file` | 是（`set`/`unset`） | 其余情况 |

+
+## 配置
+
+| 字段 | 默认值 | 含义 |
+|---|---|---|
+| `path` | `<harness home>/.env` | 凭据文档位置。 |
+| `dshHome` | `$DSH_HOME` 或 `~/.dsh` | `path` 缺省时使用的 harness home。 |
+| `watch` | `true` | 热发布外部编辑。 |
+| `debounceMs` | `100` | watcher 写入稳定窗口。 |
+
+## 文档本身
+
+dotenv 格式，用 `dotenv` 解析；写回用物理行级编辑器，保留一切不属于本次编辑的字节：`set` 原位改写该键的第一条赋值行、沿用该行自身的行尾（丢弃后续重复行——dotenv 按最后一条生效，重复行会反过来覆盖这次编辑），`unset` 只删除所属行，注释、无关行、CRLF 行尾，以及另一个键的引号多行值的续行，都逐字保留。每次写入都先在 [`dsh-atomic-write`](../../util/atomic-write/README.md) 的跨进程写锁下重读文档、把此前未观察到的一切发布出去，再在仅属主可访问（`0700`）的目录下以 `0600` 权限原子提交——因此并发写入者、或落在 watcher 防抖窗口内的外部编辑会被并入，而不是被覆盖。
+
+值按 dotenv 能逐字读回的最窄样式渲染——裸值，其次单引号（完全字面），再次双引号（仅限无反斜杠，双引号读取会展开转义）。任何样式都无法表示的值，以及已经跨越多个物理行的条目，都会响亮失败而不是被静默破坏。空的存储值等于不存在（seam 规则）。
+
+## 热重载
+
+外部编辑在快照**整体替换**后按变更引用逐个发布 `credentials/updated`——磁盘上删掉的条目绝不在内存滞留。provider 自己的写入按内容识别，只发布属于该次提交的一个事件。运行期文档不可读时保留最后可用快照并告警；文件不存在即空存储；启动时不可读则响亮失败。非 POSIX 标识符的键属于被保留的文件内容，seam 无法寻址。
+
+## 安全边界
+
+文档在 `0700` 目录下以 `0600` 权限存放，这挡得住其他 OS 用户，**挡不住**模型。工具进程（bash、文件系统工具）以同一用户身份运行，因此在出厂默认的 `danger-full-access` 下，它们读这个文件与读该用户拥有的任何其他文件毫无二致，也没有任何沙箱模式会把它单独挑出来。harness 真正守住的更窄：它绝不把该文档的解析后路径交给模型，也绝不把它载入进程环境（见 [app-boot 的个人配置](../../ui/app-boot/README.md#personal-config)），因此要拿到这个值，需要刻意去读一条并未交给 agent 的路径。
+
+这是审慎，不是边界。必须让提供方密钥远离自身 agent 的部署无法靠文件权限做到；OS 钥匙串 provider——一个模型的进程根本读不到的存储——才是延后的答案，它应当作为平级包与本 provider 并列。
+
+## Model Experience
+
+经由消费它的 LLM 适配器间接生效：存储的值为适配器的提供方请求授权，每个模型可见面都归适配器所有。
+
+#### KV Cache effect
+
+无直接失效；凭据绝不进入请求前缀。
+
+## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
+
+- **多行条目拒绝 `set`/`unset`**——行编辑器不改写会被它破坏的条目；`describe` 把它们报为 `writable: false`，编辑必须直接落到文件上。
+- **同一引用的并发写入是后写胜出**——写锁加读-改-写让并发写入者不会丢掉彼此的条目，但两个写入者编辑同一个引用时仍以较后的写入为准；没有修订检查。
+- **同 UID 进程可以读取该文档**——见[安全边界](#security-boundary)：只有受限沙箱模式会拒绝它，OS 钥匙串 provider 仍是延后项。
+- **无法表示的值响亮失败**——控制字符，或同时混用两种引号又含反斜杠的值，无法在 dotenv 行格式中往返。
+- **环境变化不可见**——每次解析实时读取 `process.env`，但那里的变化不可能发出事件。
+- **原子但不保证崩溃持久**——继承自 `dsh-atomic-write`；存储在启动时重新读取。

+# dsh-credentials
+
+English | [中文](README.zh.md)
+
+Abstract credential seam (`ctx.credentials`). One doctrine, three consequences:
+
+**Configuration carries references to secrets, never the secrets.** A settings section or `cordis.yml` entry says `apiKeyEnv: DEEPSEEK_API_KEY`; the value behind that reference lives with a credential provider. So the settings document stays safe to sync and to render in a configuration UI, `describe()` can answer "is this configured, where from, can I write it" without ever holding a value, and rotating a secret touches no configuration file.
+
+**Consumers resolve per operation.** `resolve(ref)` is called at the start of each operation (the LLM adapters resolve once per model request) and never cached across operations — that read is what makes a changed credential reach the very next request without restarting any plugin.
+
+**An empty stored value is absent.** Everywhere: `resolve` skips it, `describe` reports it unconfigured. A blank can never masquerade as a configured secret.
+
+## Surface
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+import { credentialRef } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-credentials'
+
+declare const ctx: Context
+
+const ref = credentialRef('DEEPSEEK_API_KEY')            // POSIX shell identifier, branded
+const hit = await ctx.credentials.resolve(ref)           // { value, source } | undefined
+const info = await ctx.credentials.describe(ref)         // { configured, source?, writable } — never the value
+await ctx.credentials.set(ref, 'sk-…')                   // rejects while a read-only source shadows the ref
+await ctx.credentials.unset(ref)                         // no-op when absent; same shadowing rule
+```
+
+`credentials/updated (ref)` fires after a committed change to a provider-managed source — a `set`, an `unset`, or an external edit observed in storage. Ambient process-environment changes are not observable and never emit. Consumers do not need the event (they re-resolve per operation); it exists for configuration UIs refreshing a "configured" badge.
+
+The shadowing rule on `set`/`unset` is deliberate fail-loud: when a read-only source (the live process environment, in the local provider) currently supplies the reference, a write would appear to succeed while resolution keeps returning the shadowing value — the seam rejects instead, and `describe().writable` lets a UI render the reference read-only up front.
+
+## Providers
+
+[`dsh-credentials-local`](../credentials-local/README.md) layers the live process environment over a `$DSH_HOME/.env` file. The seam shape leaves room for keyring-, helper-command-, and KMS-backed providers; a remote settings provider never needs to carry secrets.
+
+## Model Experience
+
+Indirectly, through the consuming LLM adapters: a resolved value authorizes their provider requests, and the adapter owns every model-visible surface.
+
+#### KV Cache effect
+
+No direct invalidation; credentials never enter a request prefix.
+
+## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
+
+- **No enumeration** — the seam answers questions about references it is given; configuration surfaces learn the references from settings schemas, so a `list()` has no current consumer.
+- **References are environment-variable-shaped** — one flat POSIX-identifier namespace until a provider needs richer addressing.
+- **Process-environment changes are invisible** — no event can fire for them; a UI only re-reads `describe()` on its own navigation.

+
+抽象凭据 seam（`ctx.credentials`）。一条准则，三个推论：
+
+**配置只携带对机密的引用，绝不携带机密本身。** settings 分节或 `cordis.yml` 条目写 `apiKeyEnv: DEEPSEEK_API_KEY`，引用背后的值归凭据 provider 所有。于是设置文档可以放心同步、放心渲染进配置界面；`describe()` 无需持有值就能回答「配置了吗、来自哪层、能否写入」；轮换机密不触碰任何配置文件。
+
+**消费方按操作解析。** `resolve(ref)` 在每个操作开始时调用（LLM 适配器每次模型请求解析一次），绝不跨操作缓存——正是这次读取让改过的凭据无需重启任何插件就作用于下一次请求。
+
+**空的存储值等于不存在。**处处如此：`resolve` 跳过它，`describe` 报告未配置。空白永远不会伪装成已配置的机密。
+
+## 接口面
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from 'cordis'
+import { credentialRef } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-credentials'
+
+declare const ctx: Context
+
+const ref = credentialRef('DEEPSEEK_API_KEY')            // POSIX shell identifier, branded
+const hit = await ctx.credentials.resolve(ref)           // { value, source } | undefined
+const info = await ctx.credentials.describe(ref)         // { configured, source?, writable } — never the value
+await ctx.credentials.set(ref, 'sk-…')                   // rejects while a read-only source shadows the ref
+await ctx.credentials.unset(ref)                         // no-op when absent; same shadowing rule
+```
+
+`credentials/updated (ref)` 在 provider 管理的来源发生已提交变更后触发——`set`、`unset` 或在存储中观察到的外部编辑。进程环境变量的变化不可观测，永不触发。消费方不需要该事件（它们按操作重新解析）；它服务于配置界面刷新「已配置」徽标。
+
+`set`/`unset` 的遮蔽规则是刻意的响亮失败：当只读来源（本地 provider 中即活跃进程环境）正在提供该引用时，写入会表面成功而解析仍返回遮蔽值——seam 选择直接拒绝，并通过 `describe().writable` 让界面提前把该引用渲染为只读。
+
+## Providers
+
+[`dsh-credentials-local`](../credentials-local/README.md) 把活跃进程环境叠加在 `$DSH_HOME/.env` 文件之上。seam 形状为 keyring、辅助命令、KMS 后端的 provider 留好了位置；远端 settings provider 永远不必携带机密。
+
+## Model Experience
+
+经由消费它的 LLM 适配器间接生效：解析出的值为适配器的提供方请求授权，每个模型可见面都归适配器所有。
+
+#### KV Cache effect
+
+无直接失效；凭据绝不进入请求前缀。
+
+## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
+
+- **不提供枚举**——seam 只回答被问到的引用；配置界面从 settings schema 得知引用集合，`list()` 没有当前消费方。
+- **引用限定为环境变量形状**——在有 provider 需要更丰富寻址前，保持单一扁平的 POSIX 标识符命名空间。
+- **进程环境变化不可见**——不可能为其发事件；界面只能在自身导航时重新读取 `describe()`。

-The full-screen terminal app bundle: a Cordis plugin that composes [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-agent-spine-demo`](../agent-spine-demo/README.md), persisted same-session goals, the human-command registry and `/goal` producer, JSONL persistence, keyboard-backed user interaction, a pre-created `main` agent, and [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui`](../../ui/tui/README.md). A `cordis.yml` mounts it as one entry; the [`dsh`](../../../apps/cli/README.md) CLI is the front door that boots such a config.
-
-Use [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-cli-demo`](../cli-demo/README.md) for pipes, scripts, and other non-interactive runs. This bundle requires a TTY pair and has no line-oriented fallback.
-
-## What it bakes in
-
-| Plugin | Why it is here |
-|---|---|
-| `@deepseek-ai/dsh-agent-spine-demo` | Shared services, model-facing tools, and one configured `main` agent |
-| `@deepseek-ai/dsh-commands` | Human-only discovery and dispatch consumed by the TUI and command plugins |
-| `@deepseek-ai/dsh-command-goal` | Direct `/goal` status and mutation over the spine's persisted-goal stack |
-| `@deepseek-ai/dsh-session-persistence-jsonl` | Durable session log under `persistenceRoot` |
-| `@deepseek-ai/dsh-session-checkpoint-policy` | Semantic durability barriers before model requests and top-level tool effects, plus completed-step checkpoints |
-| `@deepseek-ai/dsh-session-query-sqlite` + `@deepseek-ai/dsh-session-reference` | Combined exact/FTS session queries and bounded `@session` snapshots consumed by the TUI; model-facing query tools remain a leaf opt-in |
-| `@deepseek-ai/dsh-user-interaction` | Provider-neutral human question service |
-| `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui` | Full-screen transcript, editor, tool cards, plan, and question overlays |
-| `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-ask-user` | Model-facing `ask_user_question` tool |
-
-Swappable LLM, bash, filesystem, and other capability providers remain in the leaf config. `@cordisjs/plugin-hmr` also remains a leaf-only development entry because it requires Loader internals.
-
-## Config
-
-| Key | Default | Routed to |
-|---|---|---|
-| `provider` | required | Configured `main` agent provider |
-| `model` | required | Configured `main` agent model |
-| `maxParallelToolCalls` | agent-loop default | Bundled loop concurrency cap |
-| `persona` | — | System-prompt persona template |
-| `toolOrder` | lexicographic | Explicit model-facing tool order |
-| `tools` | owner default | Tool presentation mode |
-| `dshHome` | owner default | Harness home used by bash and skills |
-| `sessionTitle` | spine example limits | Fallback title word/byte limits |
-| `skills` | owner defaults | Skill registry, local provider, and tool config |
-| `toolBash` | owner defaults | Model-facing bash tool config |
-| `toolTasks` | owner defaults | Background-task control-tool config, or `false` |
-| `goals` | owner defaults | Persisted goal-domain and model-tool config; `false` removes the goal stack and `/goal` producer |
-| `workspaceContext` | required | Workspace-instruction config, or `false` |
-| `persistenceRoot` | `./.sessions` | JSONL persistence root and parent of the derived `session-query.db` index |
-| `persistenceCompression` | `'zstd'` | JSONL artifact encoding (`'zstd'` or raw `'none'`) |
-| `sessionReferences` | service defaults | Cross-session candidate and snapshot limits routed to `dsh-session-reference` |
-| `welcome` | `ready.` | TUI subtitle |
-| `resumeCommand` | — | Exit and no-host fallback command template; the selector itself uses session query and host handoff |
-| `ui` | owner defaults | TUI presentation settings such as reasoning, color, and card height |
-| `resumeSessionId` | — | Exact persisted session to resume |
-
-Fresh runs mint a `main-session-<uuid>` session id and pass it to both the TUI and configured agent. Resumed runs bind both components to `resumeSessionId`. The TUI mounts before the spine so it can render a matching config-start failure instead of leaving a blank terminal. The app composes persistence and session query for `/resume`; an embedding host may additionally provide `tuiResumeHost` for in-place process handoff.
-
-## Front door
-
-This package ships no bin. The [`dsh`](../../../apps/cli/README.md) CLI is the terminal front door: bare `dsh` boots the shipped `examples/tui-agent/cordis.yml` (which mounts this bundle), and `dsh --config <path-to-cordis.yml>` boots an alternate leaf config that mounts it. It loads the optional cwd `.env`, drives the Cordis Loader, and waits for the full plugin tree. The repository installs Loader's optional native helper, so bare package specifiers resolve under plain Node.
-
-## Example leaf
-
-```yaml
-- id: llm-deepseek
-  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-llm-deepseek'
-  config:
-    apiKey: !!js process.env.DEEPSEEK_API_KEY
-- id: bash
-  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-bash-local'
-- id: tui-agent
-  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui-demo'
-  config:
-    provider: deepseek
-    model: deepseek-v4-flash
-    workspaceContext:
-      maxBytes: 65536
-    welcome: 'Coding agent ready.'
-    ui:
-      showReasoning: true
-```
-
-## Model Experience
-
-### Interactive terminal turn
-
-#### What the model sees
-
-Each non-empty non-command editor submission becomes a user message; a submission during a running turn becomes steering. Slash-command input and output remain human-only, while accepted `/goal` mutations append domain-owned model-visible state. The shared spine contributes the configured persona, workspace instructions, skill catalog, goal controls, and visible tool schemas. TUI rendering itself is not model-visible.
-
-#### Token effect
-
-User, assistant, and tool history grows under the normal session and compaction rules. Headers, cards, plans, Markdown styling, and keybindings add no tokens.
-
-#### KV Cache effect
-
-Append-only while the composed prompt, schemas, route, and retained history prefix remain stable. Composition changes and compaction can invalidate reuse from the first changed token.
-
-### Human-question answer
-
-#### What the model sees
-
-`ask_user_question` retains the tool call and the compact answer or stable interruption error defined by `dsh-tool-ask-user`. The question overlay is terminal-only.
-
-#### Token effect
-
-Only the completed or failed tool result adds retained tokens.
-
-#### KV Cache effect
-
-Append-only; the answer follows the reusable request prefix.
-
-## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
-
-- **TTY-only** — stdin and stdout must both be terminals; automation uses `dsh-cli-demo`.
-- **One configured terminal session** — the transcript and editor bind to one exact session id.
-- **The app cluster is fixed** — JSONL persistence and ask-user tooling are baked in; different policy requires another composition.
-- **Approval is separate** — this app answers `ctx.userInteraction`, not `ctx.approval`; permission prompts require an approval service and answerer.

-# @deepseek-ai/dsh-tui-demo
-
-[English](README.md) | 中文
-
-全屏终端应用组合包：一个 Cordis 插件，组合 [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-agent-spine-demo`](../agent-spine-demo/README.md)、持久化的同会话目标、人类命令注册表与 `/goal` 生产方、JSONL 持久化、键盘支持的用户交互、预创建的 `main` agent（智能体），以及 [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui`](../../ui/tui/README.md)。一份 `cordis.yml` 将它作为一个 Cordis 配置项挂载；[`dsh`](../../../apps/cli/README.md) CLI（命令行界面）是启动此类配置的入口。
-
-管道、脚本和其他非交互式运行应使用 [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-cli-demo`](../cli-demo/README.md)。此组合包需要一对 TTY，不提供面向行的回退。
-
-## 内置组件
-
-| 插件 | 设置在此处的原因 |
-|---|---|
-| `@deepseek-ai/dsh-agent-spine-demo` | 共享服务、面向模型的工具，以及一个已配置的 `main` agent |
-| `@deepseek-ai/dsh-commands` | 供 TUI 和命令插件消费、仅面向人类的命令发现与分发 |
-| `@deepseek-ai/dsh-command-goal` | 直接在主干的持久化目标栈上提供 `/goal` 状态与变更 |
-| `@deepseek-ai/dsh-session-persistence-jsonl` | 位于 `persistenceRoot` 下的持久会话日志 |
-| `@deepseek-ai/dsh-session-checkpoint-policy` | 模型请求和顶层工具 effect 前的语义持久性屏障，以及已完成步骤的检查点 |
-| `@deepseek-ai/dsh-session-query-sqlite` + `@deepseek-ai/dsh-session-reference` | TUI 消费的组合式精确／FTS 会话查询与有界 `@session` 快照；面向模型的查询工具仍由叶节点选用 |
-| `@deepseek-ai/dsh-user-interaction` | 与提供方无关的人类问题服务 |
-| `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui` | 全屏 transcript（文本记录）、编辑器、工具卡片、计划与问题 overlay |
-| `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-ask-user` | 面向模型的 `ask_user_question` 工具 |
-
-可替换的 LLM（大语言模型）、bash、文件系统和其他能力提供方仍留在叶节点配置中。`@cordisjs/plugin-hmr` 也仍是仅叶节点使用的开发条目，因为它需要 Loader 内部实现。
-
-## 配置
-
-| 键 | 默认值 | 路由目标 |
-|---|---|---|
-| `provider` | 必填 | 已配置 `main` agent 的提供方 |
-| `model` | 必填 | 已配置 `main` agent 的模型 |
-| `maxParallelToolCalls` | agent-loop 默认值 | 组合包内循环的并发上限 |
-| `persona` | 无 | 系统提示词 persona 模板 |
-| `toolOrder` | 字典序 | 显式的面向模型工具顺序 |
-| `tools` | 拥有者默认值 | 工具呈现模式 |
-| `dshHome` | 拥有者默认值 | bash 与 skill（技能）使用的 harness 主目录 |
-| `sessionTitle` | 主干示例限制 | 后备标题词数／字节限制 |
-| `skills` | 拥有者默认值 | skill 注册表、本地提供方和工具配置 |
-| `toolBash` | 拥有者默认值 | 面向模型的 bash 工具配置 |
-| `toolTasks` | 拥有者默认值 | 后台任务控制工具配置，或 `false` |
-| `goals` | 拥有者默认值 | 持久目标领域与模型工具配置；`false` 会移除目标栈与 `/goal` 生产方 |
-| `workspaceContext` | 必填 | Workspace 指令配置，或 `false` |
-| `persistenceRoot` | `./.sessions` | JSONL 持久化根目录，以及派生 `session-query.db` 索引的父目录 |
-| `persistenceCompression` | `'zstd'` | JSONL 产物编码（`'zstd'` 或原始 `'none'`） |
-| `sessionReferences` | 服务默认值 | 路由到 `dsh-session-reference` 的跨会话候选项与快照限制 |
-| `welcome` | `ready.` | TUI 副标题 |
-| `resumeCommand` | 无 | 退出和无宿主回退的命令模板；选择器本身使用会话查询与宿主移交 |
-| `ui` | 拥有者默认值 | 推理（reasoning）、颜色、卡片高度等 TUI 呈现设置 |
-| `resumeSessionId` | 无 | 要恢复的确切持久化会话 |
-
-新运行会创建 `main-session-<uuid>` 会话 id，并将它同时传给 TUI 与已配置的 agent。恢复运行会将两个组件都绑定到 `resumeSessionId`。TUI 先于主干挂载，因此它可以渲染匹配的配置启动失败，而不会留下空白终端。应用为 `/resume` 组合持久化和会话查询；嵌入宿主还可以提供 `tuiResumeHost`，用于原地移交进程。
-
-## 入口
-
-此包（package）不交付 bin。[`dsh`](../../../apps/cli/README.md) CLI 是终端入口：裸 `dsh` 启动已交付的 `examples/tui-agent/cordis.yml`（它挂载此组合包），而 `dsh --config <path-to-cordis.yml>` 启动另一个挂载此组合包的叶节点配置。它加载 cwd 下可选的 `.env`，驱动 Cordis Loader，并等待完整插件树。仓库安装了 Loader 的可选原生辅助程序，因此裸包说明符可以在纯 Node 下解析。
-
-## 叶节点示例
-
-```yaml
-- id: llm-deepseek
-  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-llm-deepseek'
-  config:
-    apiKey: !!js process.env.DEEPSEEK_API_KEY
-- id: bash
-  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-bash-local'
-- id: tui-agent
-  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui-demo'
-  config:
-    provider: deepseek
-    model: deepseek-v4-flash
-    workspaceContext:
-      maxBytes: 65536
-    welcome: 'Coding agent ready.'
-    ui:
-      showReasoning: true
-```
-
-## 模型体验
-
-### 交互式终端轮次
-
-#### 模型看到的内容
-
-每次非空、非命令的编辑器提交都会成为用户消息；运行中轮次内的提交成为 steering（中途引导）。斜杠命令输入和输出仍只面向人类，而已接受的 `/goal` 变更会追加领域拥有的模型可见状态。共享主干提供已配置的 persona、workspace 指令、skill 目录、目标控制和可见工具 schema。TUI 渲染本身对模型不可见。
-
-#### Token 影响
-
-用户、assistant 与工具历史按常规会话和压缩（compaction）规则增长。Header、卡片、计划、Markdown 样式和快捷键不增加 token。
-
-#### KV Cache 影响
-
-只要组合后的提示词、schema、路由和保留历史前缀保持稳定，就保持仅追加。组合方式变更与 compaction 可能从第一个变化的 token 起使复用失效。
-
-### 人类问题答案
-
-#### 模型看到的内容
-
-`ask_user_question` 会保留工具调用，以及 `dsh-tool-ask-user` 定义的精简答案或稳定中断错误。问题 overlay 只在终端显示。
-
-#### Token 影响
-
-只有已完成或失败的工具结果会增加保留 token。
-
-#### KV Cache 影响
-
-仅追加；答案跟在可复用请求前缀之后。
-
-## 已知限制与暂缓事项
-
-- **只支持 TTY**：stdin 与 stdout 都必须是终端；自动化使用 `dsh-cli-demo`。
-- **一个已配置的终端会话**：transcript 与编辑器绑定到一个确切会话 id。
-- **应用集群固定不变**：JSONL 持久化与 ask-user 工具内置；不同策略需要另一种组合。
-- **批准机制独立存在**：此应用回答 `ctx.userInteraction`，而不是 `ctx.approval`；权限提示需要批准服务和回答方。

+# AGENTS.md — Experimental and internal packages
+
+These rules supplement the [package rules](../AGENTS.md). The [experimental and internal package group decision](../../.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-28-experimental-plugin-package-group.md) owns the rationale.
+
+- All Cordis plugin packages whose whole public contract is experimental or internal-only belong here. An experimental option inside an otherwise stable package stays in that package's product-role group.
+- Use this directory to share engineering and product-manager prototypes across the team so others can discover, run, review, and extend them against the real plugin graph.
+- Official releases exclude this directory. A package enters a release only after moving to its product-role group; do not add packages here to release manifests or bundles.
+- Experimental packages carry no stability, compatibility, migration, or support promise. Internal-only packages may define narrower internal contracts but make no public release promise.
+- Experimental or internal-only status never relaxes repository engineering, security, documentation, lifecycle, testing, or snapshot requirements.
+- Release packages must not take runtime dependencies on packages here. Examples may; every other runtime dependent is also experimental or internal-only and belongs here. Tests may use them as development dependencies.
+- Promotion moves a package to its product-role group without renaming its `@deepseek-ai/dsh-*` package. Require explicit review of its public contract, limitations, test evidence, and a named owner accepting stable-package obligations.

 The interface lives at `fs/fs/`. A sandboxed, remote, or project-scoped filesystem backend can replace `fs-local` without touching the seam, the policy gate, or the model-facing tool schemas — `fs-sandbox` is the first such replacement (an in-process path fence over the shared sandbox mode; see [the cross-family fs sandbox Agent Note](../../.agents/notes/implemented/feature/2026-07-14-cross-family-fs-sandbox.md)). The policy (`fs-policy/`) is a plugin that participates only through the `fs/*` event gate, not a service the tool injects — so dropping it gracefully loses the policy and leaves the unconstrained bare provider rather than breaking the tool. A deployment that loads `tool-fs/` is expected to also load it. The mode fence and the read-before-edit gate are orthogonal and compose. Discovery (`tool-fs-search/`) deliberately does NOT extend the provider seam: search is a process-backed `rg` workflow on the bash executor, so filesystem backends stay free of a universal search contract; its tools register only when that executor can find `rg`, and its results are follow-up-readable when the bash workdir and the `read` root are the same workspace (the co-located deployment its README documents).

 The **model-facing filesystem discovery tools**—`glob`, `grep`—are backed by the **bash executor seam**, not by `ctx.fs` provider methods. At load, the package probes `command -v rg` through `ctx.bash`; if the executor cannot find ripgrep on its `PATH`, it logs a warning and registers no tools or prompt sections. 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 workdir-relative canonical value. The package injects `tools`, `systemPrompt`, and `bash`—deliberately **not** `fs`; `ctx.spillStore` is read opportunistically with `ctx.get()` because formatted-result spill is optional.

 ## 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. A successful `glob` keeps every acquired path in `{ paths }`; `grep` keeps every acquired `{ path, lineNumber, line }` in `{ matches }`. Inline item and per-line preview caps apply only in the Native renderer. For a direct surface call with more logical results than the inline cap, post-policy best-effort saves the complete formatted preview through `ctx.spillStore.saveText()` and replaces only presentation with a head page plus locator. Nested Code dispatches skip that spill because their full canonical value does not enter model context. Missing/failed spill keeps the inline page and reports that the complete result could not be saved—never an `isError`.

Nested Code dispatches skip that spill because their full canonical value does not enter model context. Missing/failed spill keeps the inline page and reports that the complete result could not be saved—never an `isError`.

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. With `sampleOverCapGlobResults: true`, an over-cap `glob` page takes paths round-robin across entries immediately beneath the actual search root, and the footer states the sampled basis and how many top-level entries it reached; when it cannot reach them all, the footer tells the model to narrow `path`. With `false`, the page is the modification-time-ordered head and keeps the plain capped-result footer. A result that fits inline is untouched, and a flat sampled result also keeps the plain footer because its sample equals the modification-time head.

+# @deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-str-replace-editor
+
+English | [中文](README.zh.md)
+
+Standalone model-facing `str_replace_editor` over `ctx.fs`. It can be composed with persistent Bash, one-shot Bash, sandboxed Bash, or another terminal surface.
+
+## Config
+
+| Key | Default | Meaning |
+|---|---:|---|
+| `maxOutputChars` | `16000` | Prefix characters retained for file and directory views. |
+| `description` | Editor command guide | Model-facing tool description. |
+
+## Tool
+
+The schema provides `view`, `create`, `str_replace`, and `insert` over absolute paths. File views use one-based line numbers and preserve content tabs, so displayed text remains valid literal replacement input; directory views omit hidden, dependency, and Python-cache entries and descend two levels. Replacement requires one unique literal match and reports errors only in the public `old_str` vocabulary. Insert follows the selected zero-based insertion boundary without adding an implicit trailing newline. Mutations preserve tabs outside the requested edit.
+
+## Model Experience
+
+### Tool schema
+
+#### What the model sees
+
+The generated [`str_replace_editor` schema](../../../docs/tool-catalog.md#deepseek-aidsh-tool-str-replace-editor), including the configured `description`. The plugin contributes no standalone system-prompt section.
+
+#### Token effect
+
+Fixed schema cost while `str_replace_editor` is visible.
+
+#### KV Cache effect
+
+Prefix-stable while the configured description and schema remain unchanged.
+
+### Tool results
+
+#### What the model sees
+
+Views return numbered text or a shallow directory listing. Calls expose file locations, and create/replace calls expose diff cards to presentation surfaces. Mutations return concise confirmations. Long views keep their prefix and append a clipping notice.
+
+#### Token effect
+
+Data-dependent and bounded by `maxOutputChars` plus the fixed clipping notice.
+
+#### KV Cache effect
+
+Append-only tool results follow the reusable request prefix.
+
+## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
+
+- Operations target UTF-8 text; binary files are unsupported.
+- `str_replace` intentionally rejects zero or multiple matches and has no `replace_all` argument.
+- Every mutation goes through `fs/write-intent` or `fs/edit-intent`, resolves the current session sandbox policy, and delegates enforcement to the mounted filesystem and policy plugins.

+
+[English](README.md) | 中文
+
+基于 `ctx.fs` 的独立模型可见 `str_replace_editor`。它可与持久 Bash、一次性 Bash、沙箱 Bash 或其他终端表面组合。
+
+## 配置
+
+| 键 | 默认值 | 含义 |
+|---|---:|---|
+| `maxOutputChars` | `16000` | 文件和目录查看结果保留的前缀字符数。 |
+| `description` | 编辑器命令指南 | 面向模型的工具描述。 |
+
+## 工具
+
+Schema 提供针对绝对路径的 `view`、`create`、`str_replace` 与 `insert`。文件查看使用从一开始的行号，并保留内容中的制表符，因此显示的文本仍可作为有效的字面量替换输入；目录查看忽略隐藏、依赖与 Python 缓存条目并下探两层。替换要求字面量唯一匹配，错误只使用公开的 `old_str` 词汇。插入遵循所选的零基插入边界，不会隐式补尾换行。修改操作会保留请求编辑范围之外的制表符。
+
+## 模型体验
+
+### 工具 schema
+
+#### 模型所见
+
+生成的 [`str_replace_editor` schema](../../../docs/tool-catalog.md#deepseek-aidsh-tool-str-replace-editor)，其中包含配置的 `description`。本插件不贡献独立系统提示词段。
+
+#### Token 影响
+
+`str_replace_editor` 可见时产生固定的 schema 成本。
+
+#### KV Cache 影响
+
+配置的描述与 schema 不变时前缀稳定。
+
+### 工具结果
+
+#### 模型所见
+
+查看操作返回带行号文本或浅层目录列表。调用会向展示层提供文件位置，创建/替换还会提供 diff 卡片。修改操作返回简洁确认。长查看结果保留前缀并追加截断提示。
+
+#### Token 影响
+
+随数据变化，并受 `maxOutputChars` 与固定截断提示约束。
+
+#### KV Cache 影响
+
+工具结果以追加方式位于可复用请求前缀之后。
+
+## 已知限制与延后工作
+
+- 操作面向 UTF-8 文本，不支持二进制文件。
+- `str_replace` 刻意拒绝零匹配或多匹配，且没有 `replace_all` 参数。
+- 每个修改操作都会经过 `fs/write-intent` 或 `fs/edit-intent`，解析当前 session 的沙箱策略，并交由挂载的文件系统与策略插件执行。

An invalid regex matches nothing (never throws).
+- **`matcherDiagnostic(matcher, mode)` / `matchesMatcher(matcher, query, mode)`** — match-all on absent/`''`/`'*'`; `claude` mode treats a pure `[A-Za-z0-9_|]+` pattern as a literal (pipe = exact-match alternation) and anything else as a regex; `codex` mode is always an unanchored regex. Bridge parsers discard matcher fields for events without matcher subjects, then use `matcherDiagnostic` to reject an invalid consumed regex with a stable diagnostic before registering any hooks. The runtime predicate still contains an invalid pattern as a non-match, so a direct library caller cannot throw into the agent loop.
 - **`runHook(bash, hook, options, now)`** — require and forward the caller-owned `options.signal`, serialize `options.payload` to the hook's stdin (with a trailing newline iff `options.trailingNewline`), merge `options.env` after the executor's credential scrub (the `dsh-bash` trusted-plugin surface), honor the hook's `timeoutSec` (else `options.defaultTimeoutMs` — the bridge owns the default, its config defaulting to the lib's `DEFAULT_HOOK_TIMEOUT_MS` 10-minute reference), and decode the result (threading `options.expectedEventName` to the codec). Cancellation therefore reaches the executor's process-group kill and join boundary. Never throws: an executor rejection (infra fault) becomes a `HookOutput` with `exitCode: undefined` (a non-blocking error). `now` is injected for testable durations.
 - **`parseHookOutput(exitCode, stdout, stderr, expectedEventName?)`** decodes exit status and structured stdout. Exit 2 blocks with stderr; other failures are non-blocking. A matching hook-specific permission decision overrides the legacy top-level decision; mismatched or missing event discriminators suppress only event-specific fields. Top-level fields remain event-agnostic, and successful non-JSON output is left to the bridge.
 - **`mergeHookOutputs(outputs)`** — fold the results of every hook that matched one point: permission precedence **deny > ask > allow**, halt sticky on the first `continue:false`, block reasons joined with `\n\n`, `additionalContext`/`systemMessages` accumulated in order.

 - **`runHook(bash, hook, options, now)`**：要求并转发调用方拥有的 `options.signal`，将 `options.payload` 序列化到 hook stdin（当且仅当 `options.trailingNewline` 时添加尾随换行符），在执行器凭证清理后合并 `options.env`（`dsh-bash` 受信任插件接口），遵循 hook 的 `timeoutSec`（否则使用 `options.defaultTimeoutMs`；默认值属于桥接，其配置默认为 lib 的 `DEFAULT_HOOK_TIMEOUT_MS` 10 分钟参考值），再解码结果（将 `options.expectedEventName` 传递给 codec）。因此取消会到达执行器的进程组终止与 join 边界。它绝不抛出异常：执行器拒绝（基础设施故障）会变为 `HookOutput`，其 `exitCode: undefined`（非阻塞错误）。`now` 会被注入，以便测试持续时间。

 - **`SessionStart` 只支持部分功能：** 会消费 JSON `additionalContext`，但不支持纯 stdout 上下文、`initialUserMessage`、`sessionTitle`、`watchPaths`、`reloadSkills` 与 `CLAUDE_ENV_FILE`。hook 脱离运行，因此上下文可能错过第一个请求（`TODO(session-start-gating)`），payload 会省略 `model`、`agent_type` 和 `session_title` 等当前可选字段。
 - **`UserPromptSubmit` 只支持部分功能：** 支持阻塞与 JSON `additionalContext`，但不支持纯 stdout 上下文、`sessionTitle` 和 `suppressOriginalPrompt`。除非被覆盖，否则桥接还会使用自身 600 秒默认值，而非 Claude Code 的事件特定 30 秒 command 超时。
 - **`PreToolUse` 只支持部分功能：** `deny` 与 `ask` 决策可用；`allow` 不会预审批，不支持 `defer`，`additionalContext` 会被忽略，`updatedInput` 会被记录 + 警告但不应用（见 [pre-tool-input-rewrite Agent Note](../../../.agents/notes/proposed/feature/2026-06-30-pre-tool-input-rewrite.md)）。

 The hooks themselves run in the agent's session workspace: for the agent-scoped points the bridge passes the session's `cwd` as the hook process's working directory, so a hook operates in the user's project tree, not the server launch dir.

 The layering/protocol decisions are recorded in the [GUI layering and RPC protocol RFC](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-19-gui-layering-and-rpc-protocol.md); the browser-side consumption architecture in the [web client architecture RFC](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-19-gui-web-client-architecture.md).
 
+`session.history` pages on append-origin message boundaries: `maxMessages` counts `user/message`, `assistant/message`, and `steering/message` events that entered the surface by appending, so a model-only replacement copy consumes no quota. Each page stays one contiguous raw event range, which keeps a compaction's log-only provenance on the same page as the replacement that cites it.
+
 `session.history`'s tail page (`beforeSeq` absent) additionally carries an optional `projections` block — the watermark snapshot of every unit registered on `ctx.sessionProjections` (`@deepseek-ai/dsh-session-projection`), with `asOfSeq` = the last event seq the values reflect (`-1` on an empty log). The gateway also subscribes to the registry's change feed and mints a `session/projection` mux frame per changed unit (`{sessionId, key, value, seq}` — live push state, never logged; clients hold one generic per-session value store under higher-seq-wins). The carrier holds zero domain knowledge (each value passed its unit's own schema inside the registry; the wire schemas keep `values`/`value` wide); loadOlder pages never carry the block, and a composition without the registry serves histories without either surface.
 
 Session titles ride the generic projection pair like every other domain — the history-tail `projections` block plus `session/projection` frames under the `title` key (the bespoke `session/title` frame is retired). Titles do not join `session.list`; cold sessions remain metadata-only there until opening or resuming attaches their logs. `session.rename` accepts an explicit user title (resuming a cold session first), delegating to `ctx.sessionTitle.rename` — the accepted `session/title` event pins the title against automatic regeneration — and returns the normalized title plus its event seq so a client settles its `title` projection cell ahead of the push frame; a title that normalizes to empty returns `title-invalid`.
 
+`session.fork` maps an optional event anchor to the first `turn/end` at or after it, letting a message action include that message's whole turn. An omitted or past-end anchor selects the last completed turn; an in-log anchor whose turn remains open returns `fork-unavailable` rather than clipping backward. The published child inherits the source's seeded history, cwd, latest logged provider/model/reasoning target, and lineage before joining the source Workspace. If Workspace attachment fails, `workspace-attach-failed` carries the already-published child id so clients can reconcile it. The [SessionStore fork decision](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/feature/2026-06-30-session-store-fork-api.md) owns the boundary rationale.
+
 Session model routing is a session-domain contract. `session.models` returns the selected provider/model/reasoning target with provider-grouped advisory models, exact-route reasoning metadata, and provider-local lookup failures. `session.selectModel` validates the optional adapter-owned reasoning effort and replaces the complete target selected for the next prompt-assembly boundary. Catalog membership is not validation: an adapter may resolve an unlisted model, while an unavailable route or unsupported effort returns `model-unavailable`.
 
+Pending queued input is a live control-plane contract, not session history. The gateway mirrors queued `InboxItem` occurrences from `agent/inbox/*` and broadcasts authoritative `session/queue` snapshots on every queued change and reconnect; pending steering stays outside this Web projection. `session.updateQueue` addresses one `InboxItemId`: edit replaces pending content and remove discards it. A driver claim wins races by retiring the address before admission; a later operation returns `queue-item-not-found`. The operation queries only an attached Agent and never resumes a cold session because process-local inbox identities do not survive restart or disposal. The client never infers retirement from turn or status events.
+
 Workspace and Session lists are separate reconnect baselines. `workspace.create` creates a unique name or adopts an existing directory, `workspace.delete` removes only the Workspace registration, `session.create` accepts an optional preallocated Session id, and `host/workspace-changed`, `host/workspace-removed`, plus `host/session-added` carry committed increments in either arrival order. Registration deletion preserves the directory and session logs; its Sessions remain in `session.list` and become Ungrouped. `SessionSummary.blank` and the `host/session-added` frame carry the derived zero-events bit: clients hide blank sessions and reuse them per workspace, flip blank on the first `host/session-status(running:true)`, and treat `session.list` as the reconnect authority; cold summaries are never blank because lazy persistence keeps never-appended sessions out of `list()`.
 
 `session.search` is a bounded content-search projection over the sessions visible through `session.list`. The gateway asks the optional `ctx.sessionQuery` service for globally ranked current-surface user, assistant, and steering matches, consumes that stream until it has at most 20 visible session/snippet pairs plus one lookahead, and revalidates every hit against the list-derived authorization set before returning it. Provider pages start at 20 hits; when a first-page request rejects that limit, the gateway probes 10, 5, 2, then 1 and retains the learned size for continuation and stale-generation restarts. Returned snippets contain at most 240 Unicode code points, and the response schema independently enforces that bound at each client boundary. Keeping the authorization set in Host memory avoids SQLite's variable ceiling for large valid corpora without weakening visibility or ranking.

 ## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
 
 - **`respond` routing is shipped, but pending-interaction state is host-side work** — the wire shape (POST `/api/respond`, `RpcReceipt`) is final; the pending table that makes late/duplicate answers meaningful lives in `src/api-proxy.ts` and is still minimal (questions only, no approvals).
-- **Reserved seams stay out of `RpcMethodMap`** — `session.fork`, `prompt.mode: 'inject'`, `task.list`, `host.listModels`, and a describe `hostInstanceId` are documented reservations; an unknown method fails loud at envelope parse rather than getting a not-implemented code.
+- **Reserved seams stay out of `RpcMethodMap`** — `prompt.mode: 'inject'`, `task.list`, `host.listModels`, and a describe `hostInstanceId` are documented reservations; an unknown method fails loud at envelope parse rather than getting a not-implemented code.
 - **No protocol version field** — client and host ship together; `host.describe` gains a version negotiation field only when an independently released client exists.
 - **Search failures include provider diagnostics** — the gateway is a single-user local service. A carrier that exposes it to multiple users must replace internal search details with a public-safe diagnostic.
 - **Linux native picker requires desktop tooling** — under the `native` capability, `host.pickDirectory` reports an actionable error when neither Zenity nor KDialog is installed; the browse backend is the composition-level fallback (see the [native backend README](../directory-picker-native/README.md)).
+- **A cold session's `updatedAt` counts a mere pickup as a write (per-file backends only)** — the attached projection excludes the `session/end-seed` boundary, because picking a session up is not activity, but a cold session's `updatedAt` is its log file's mtime and every durable write refreshes that, the boundary included. `agentFor()` resumes a cold session on first touch, so merely opening one in a client writes it. This applies only where `locate()` resolves a per-session artifact, i.e. JSONL; SQLite returns `undefined`, so its cold sessions fall back to `createdAt` and are skewed the other way — too old rather than too new — independently of this boundary. A session touched without being worked in therefore sorts newer than its last real activity until it attaches. Separating the two needs a log read, which is exactly what the mtime path exists to avoid; a stored last-activity field in the index would fix it at the source, scoped in the [last-activity-index Agent Note](../../../.agents/notes/proposed/architecture/2026-07-29-durable-last-activity-index.md).

+
+English | [中文](README.zh.md)
+
+The **adaptive chooser** of the [directory-picker seam](../directory-picker/README.md): a node-half-only plugin that resolves the host's situation once at boot and mounts the matching dual-face backend — [`-native`](../directory-picker-native/README.md) or [`-browse`](../directory-picker-browse/README.md) — as a real Loader entry in the in-memory root tree (never persisted to a config file; the root tree's `write()` is a no-op). Because the backend arrives as an ordinary entry, its browser half is discovered by the client module table exactly as a config-row's would be, so the seam's one-row-swaps-both-faces invariant holds for the resolved choice. Unloading the chooser removes the entry again, unloading both faces with it.
+
+Resolution is one pure boot-time sample (`resolveDirectoryPickerBackend`), exported for reuse and tests. `native` requires every signal that the operator can see the host display and the native backend can serve it: a loopback-only bind (read from the injected `httpServer`; an all-interfaces bind admits remote browsers no OS chooser can reach), no SSH launch (`SSH_CONNECTION`/`SSH_TTY` unset or blank — under SSH port-forwarding the chooser would open on the unattended server), and a servable display session — assumed on darwin/win32; on linux `DISPLAY`/`WAYLAND_DISPLAY` plus a zenity or kdialog binary on `PATH` (the probe is one more boot-time fact); never on any other platform, since the native backend drives exactly darwin/win32/linux. Anything ambiguous resolves to `browse`, which works everywhere. The sample happens exactly once per boot so the mounted capability stays stable for the service lifetime, as the seam requires. Pinning an interaction is not a config field here — compose the `-native` or `-browse` row directly instead of this one, the seam's documented swap point; mounting the chooser **and** a backend row together fails loud (duplicate `directoryPicker` service, duplicate client flow in the `single` holes).
+
+## Model Experience
+
+None, as the chooser only composes the GUI host's directory selection; nothing here reaches a model request.
+
+#### KV Cache effect
+
+None; this package neither assembles nor sends a provider request.
+
+## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
+
+- **Detection infers operator location from launch context, which no launch-side signal can prove** — a tmux session detached from its SSH launch loses the `SSH_*` markers; a darwin process outside an Aqua session still counts as displayed; and the `ssh -L` shape (a workstation-local launch later reached through a forwarded port, which arrives from `127.0.0.1`) resolves `native` and opens the chooser on the unattended workstation. A wrong `native` choice degrades to the backend's existing retryable failure dialog, and composing `-browse` directly pins the safe interaction for such deployments.
+- **The Linux chooser probe reads `PATH` only** — a zenity/kdialog reachable some other way (shell alias, non-PATH install) still resolves `browse`; installing either binary on `PATH` restores `native` eligibility at the next boot.
+- **Boot-time only** — one resolution serves every client of the boot; per-connection adaptivity (native for a local browser, browse for a remote one, same server) would need a per-client capability and the wire advertisement the seam deliberately deleted, and waits for a deployment that serves both at once.

+
+[English](README.md) | 中文
+
+[目录选择 seam](../directory-picker/README.md) 的**自适应选择器**：一个只有 node 半侧的插件，在启动时一次性判定宿主处境，并把匹配的双面后端——[`-native`](../directory-picker-native/README.md) 或 [`-browse`](../directory-picker-browse/README.md)——作为真实的 Loader 条目挂进内存根树（绝不持久化到配置文件；根树的 `write()` 是 no-op）。由于后端以普通条目的形式到达，其 browser half 被 client 模块表发现的方式与配置行完全相同，因此对判定出的选择，seam 的“一行同时换两面”不变式依然成立。卸载该选择器会再次移除该条目，连同两面一起卸载。
+
+判定是一次纯函数的启动时采样（`resolveDirectoryPickerBackend`），已导出供复用与测试。`native` 要求“操作者看得到宿主屏幕、且 native 后端能服务它”的全部信号：仅回环的绑定（从注入的 `httpServer` 读取；全网卡绑定会接入任何 OS 选择器都触及不到的远程浏览器）；非 SSH 启动（`SSH_CONNECTION`／`SSH_TTY` 未设置或为空——SSH 端口转发下选择器会弹在无人值守的服务器上）；以及可服务的显示会话——darwin／win32 上视为存在；linux 上要求 `DISPLAY`／`WAYLAND_DISPLAY`，外加 `PATH` 上有 zenity 或 kdialog 二进制（该探查是又一项启动时事实）；其余任何平台上都不成立，因为 native 后端驱动的平台恰为 darwin／win32／linux。任何含糊情形都判定为处处可用的 `browse`。采样每次启动恰好发生一次，因此挂载的能力在服务生命周期内保持稳定，符合 seam 的要求。固定某种交互在这里不是配置字段——直接组合 `-native` 或 `-browse` 行来替代本行，那才是 seam 文档化的切换点；同时挂载选择器**和**某个后端行会大声失败（重复的 `directoryPicker` 服务、`single` 洞中的重复 client 流程）。
+
+## 模型体验
+
+无。该选择器仅组合 GUI 宿主的目录选择；这里没有任何内容进入模型请求。
+
+#### KV 缓存影响
+
+无；该包既不组装也不发送提供方请求。
+
+## 已知限制与延期工作
+
+- **探测是从启动上下文推断操作者位置，而任何启动侧信号都无法证明这一点**——从 SSH 启动中脱离的 tmux 会话会丢失 `SSH_*` 标记；Aqua 会话之外的 darwin 进程仍被算作有显示；而 `ssh -L` 形态（在工作站本地启动、之后经转发端口访问，从 `127.0.0.1` 到达）会判定 `native`，把选择器弹在无人值守的工作站上。错误的 `native` 选择会退化为后端既有的可重试失败对话框，而对这类部署，直接组合 `-browse` 即固定住安全的交互。
+- **Linux 选择器探查只读 `PATH`**——以其他途径可用的 zenity／kdialog（shell 别名、未装在 PATH 上）仍判定为 `browse`；把任一二进制装到 `PATH` 上，下次启动即恢复 `native` 资格。
+- **仅在启动时判定**——一次判定服务本次启动的所有客户端；按连接自适应（同一台服务器，本地浏览器用 native、远程浏览器用 browse）需要按客户端的能力对象以及 seam 有意删除的 wire 广播，等到出现同时服务两种形态的部署再做。

 Behavior facts: listings return **directories only**, name-sorted, with symlinks-to-directories followed (broken/cyclic links skipped — the probe `stat` failing means "not enterable") and a host-owned `hidden` flag (POSIX dot convention) left for the client to act on; `crumbs` is the root-to-target ancestor chain, the root crumb labeled by its full path (`/`, `C:\`); an absent `list` path means the host account's home directory. `createDirectory` is non-recursive (a missing parent is a real failure, not a level to invent) and validates the name as a single non-blank segment even when called directly, mirroring the wire schema's fence. Both primitives reject an explicit path that is not fully qualified — relative forms, and on Windows the rooted drive-less forms (`\foo`, `/foo`) and incomplete UNC prefixes (`\\`, `\\server`) that `isAbsolute` accepts — with `directory-unreadable`/`directory-create-failed`, instead of letting `resolve` rebase it under the host process cwd or current drive. One `list` call returns at most `maxEntries` rows (config, default 1000 — the bound GitHub's web UI applies to directory listings), and the level streams through a bounded window so memory stays O(maxEntries) no matter how many children the directory holds: a cut level keeps the name-sorted head, counts hidden rows against the bound, probes only windowed candidates, and reports `truncated: true` so the client can say the level is incomplete (a windowed broken symlink is not backfilled from beyond the window — the eviction already marks the level truncated); window insertion is binary with an O(1) full-window tail rejection, and `list` threads the caller's `AbortSignal` so a disconnect or timeout stops the scan instead of letting it outlive the caller. Failures throw the seam's typed `DirectoryPickerError`. Policy rationale: [the directory-picker capability seam Agent Note](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-28-directory-picker-capability-seam.md).

-The **workspace-directory picking seam** for the web-GUI host: an abstract `DirectoryPicker` service (`ctx.directoryPicker`) whose single contract method `capability()` returns a discriminated capability describing how an operator selects a directory. Backends differ in interaction shape, not just mechanism, so the seam models the shapes explicitly instead of one method set: `{ kind: 'native', pick(signal) }` opens one native OS chooser on the host display ([`-native`](../directory-picker-native/README.md)); `{ kind: 'browse', list(path?), createDirectory(path, name) }` serves listing/creation primitives an in-app browser drives, which works for remote clients no OS chooser can reach ([`-browse`](../directory-picker-browse/README.md)). Consumers switch on `capability().kind`; the union derives from the merge-extensible `DirectoryPickerCapabilities` map (a new backend declaration-merges its shape there), and the documented default for an unknown kind is to hide the picking affordance rather than fail. The capability object must be stable for the service lifetime. The client side mirrors the seam without a wire advertisement: each backend package is dual-face, its browser half registering the matching picking interaction into ui-workspace's directory-flow slots — so one composition row swaps both the host capability and the client flow together.

 Browse primitives fail with the typed `DirectoryPickerError` (`directory-unreadable` / `directory-exists` / `directory-create-failed`, each carrying the subject `path`), which the consuming gateway maps 1:1 onto wire error codes. `DirectoryEntry` rows carry a host-owned `hidden` flag (POSIX dot convention) so display policy stays client-side; `DirectoryListing.crumbs` is the ancestor chain from the filesystem root, every crumb a jump target. Design rationale, the `ctx.fs` separation, and the policy decisions live in [the directory-picker capability seam Agent Note](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-28-directory-picker-capability-seam.md).

 The package knows no harness concepts: the `/api` bridge is the connection plugin's route, plugin bundles and the HMR event stream are the modules/hmr plugins' routes. `host` accepts only `127.0.0.1` (default posture) and `0.0.0.0` (deliberate network exposure); `distIndex` is an assembly fact the composing app resolves and injects, never self-resolved (dist location is workspace knowledge of the app).

 `streamIdleTimeoutMs` bounds each outstanding provider read, including the initial `fetch`, without counting time the consumer spends between chunks. One stable abort signal reaches the request and body reader for the whole call; expiry stops the transport and throws `LlmError('TIMEOUT')`, while an earlier caller abort throws `LlmError('ABORTED')`. The adapter makes exactly one provider request per `stream()` call; it registers the configured policy as provider metadata, and `dsh-llm-retry` separately executes it at durable agent-step boundaries.
 
+## Dynamic configuration (settings + credentials)
+
+Connection facts are not frozen at load. `resolveAdapterOptions` is the one explicit resolve step from raw config to validated facts, and the adapter re-reads them through a thunk **once per operation**: base URL, catalog, request defaults, and idle budget all take effect on the next request, while an in-flight stream keeps the facts it started with. Two optional seams feed that thunk:
+
+- **`ctx.settings`** — the plugin registers the `llm-deepseek` namespace with this same `Config` schema and its `cordis.yml` entry as the composition `base`, so a `llm-deepseek:` section in the user settings document overrides any field without a restart. Without a mounted settings service the entry config alone drives the adapter, unchanged. A live settings snapshot that passes the schema but fails a beyond-schema bound (a duplicate catalog id, a broken thinking/effort pair) keeps the last good facts and logs the failure; the entry config itself still fails plugin load.
+- **`ctx.credentials`** — the API key resolves per stream call, from the *same* resolved snapshot that supplies the endpoint: a non-empty literal `apiKey` wins, then `apiKeyEnv` through the credential seam (`$DSH_HOME/.env` under the live environment), then — only without a mounted seam — the raw environment variable. Because credential facts travel with the connection facts, a settings snapshot the resolver rejects contributes neither its endpoint nor its key: the whole previous generation keeps serving. A request with no key anywhere fails with `MISSING_CREDENTIAL` naming every configuration entry point, while the route stays registered and the catalog stays browsable — first-run onboarding is "browse models, store the key, prompt again", with no restart between.
+
+The one registration-captured fact is the retry policy: when its resolved value changes, the plugin re-registers the route in place (same adapter instance, one synchronous section), so `ctx.llm.providerRetryPolicy('deepseek')` always reports the current policy.
+
 ## App attribution
 
 Every request carries the shared attribution header from dsh-llm's `attributionHeaders()` - the mandatory `User-Agent` baseline identifying the harness (see [dsh-llm § App attribution](../llm/README.md#app-attribution-attributionts)). Direct DeepSeek requests and OpenAI-compatible gateway requests get no provider-specific app-attribution headers under this adapter contract; OpenRouter app attribution is deferred to a future explicit OpenRouter adapter or mode. A request whose `GenerateOptions.purpose` is `compaction` (dsh-compact-basic's auxiliary summarization call) additionally carries `x-deepseek-harness-compact: 1`, so the host can separate compaction traffic from conversation requests.

 ## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
 
+- **A settings `models` list replaces the composition list wholesale** — settings-layer merging is per-field, and arrays are one field; per-entry catalog merging would need a keyed shape.
+- **`Config.apiKey` is schema-tagged `role('secret')` but not yet masked anywhere** — the settings `describe()` envelope returns values verbatim; the wire/UI layer that must redact secret-role fields ships with the settings RPC surface.
 - **`tool_choice` is not mapped** — not part of the core vocabulary (MVP cut, shared with the pi-ai twin).
 - **Requests use raw `fetch`, not `@cordisjs/plugin-http`** — no shared proxy/interception configuration; adoption is deferred until a second adapter wants it (`TODO(http)`).
 - **Serialization flattens user and tool-result content to text blocks** — plugin-added block types are skipped, and empty tool output crosses the wire as the literal `(no output)`.

 ## 已知限制与暂缓事项
 
+- **settings 的 `models` 列表会整体替换组合列表**：settings 层按字段合并，而数组是单个字段；按条目合并 catalog 需要带键的形状。
+- **`Config.apiKey` 已在 schema 中标注 `role('secret')`，但尚未在任何地方脱敏**：settings 的 `describe()` 信封原样返回值；负责对 secret 角色字段脱敏的 wire／UI 层将随 settings RPC 面一起交付。
 - **未映射 `tool_choice`**：它不属于核心词汇（MVP 取舍，与 pi-ai twin 共享）。
 - **请求使用原始 `fetch`，而非 `@cordisjs/plugin-http`**：没有共享 proxy／拦截配置；采用暂缓到第二个适配器需要该功能时（`TODO(http)`）。
 - **序列化会将 user 与工具结果内容展平为文本块**：会跳过插件添加的块类型，空工具输出会以字面 `(no output)` 通过协议发送。

+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 a dict of provider profiles keyed by route; every request selects a profile with `GenerateOptions.provider` and resolves `GenerateOptions.model` dynamically from pi-ai's installed catalog.
 
 The package root exposes the Cordis plugin contract and `PiAiAdapter`; profile resolution, model construction, replay conversion, and stream conversion remain package-internal.
 
 ## Config
 
-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.
+Configure credentials and deployment-specific transport settings per provider, keyed by the provider route itself. Prefer `apiKeyEnv` — a credential *reference* resolved per request — over a literal `apiKey`, so no secret enters this file. Omitting **both** is what delegates authentication to pi-ai's provider-native ambient discovery; a configured reference that resolves to nothing fails the request with `MISSING_CREDENTIAL` instead, because falling through would authenticate with whatever unrelated key the environment happens to hold. `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.

-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')`.
+Each dict key must exist in pi-ai's installed catalog; the dict shape makes duplicates unrepresentable, and the pre-release array shape (with per-profile `provider` fields) fails load with migration directions. `providers` may also be empty or omitted entirely: the adapter then mounts **dormant** — zero routes, no extra catalog entries — and registers routes the moment the `llm-pi-ai:` settings section supplies profiles, dropping them again when it empties. Which adapters exist is composition; which providers run can be entirely the user's settings document. 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')`.
+
+## Dynamic configuration (settings + credentials)
+
+The adapter reads its profiles through a thunk **once per operation** instead of freezing them at construction. The plugin registers the `llm-pi-ai` namespace on the optional `ctx.settings` seam with this same `Config` schema and its `cordis.yml` entry as the composition `base`, and because `providers` is a dict, the base and the user's `llm-pi-ai:` settings section merge **per provider**: a user can add a route, override one field of a composition route, or point a route at another proxy, all effective on the next request with no restart. Without a mounted settings service the entry config alone drives the adapter, unchanged.
+
+Credentials resolve per stream call: a non-empty literal `apiKey` wins, then `apiKeyEnv` through the optional `ctx.credentials` seam (`$DSH_HOME/.env` under the live environment; exactly that variable without a mounted seam). A profile naming no credential at all — and only that case — defers to pi-ai's ambient discovery. The route set and each route's captured retry policy are the registration-level facts: when either changes, the plugin replaces its registration atomically (same adapter instance, candidate set validated first), so a route another adapter already owns leaves the previous routes serving and reverting to a working configuration re-applies. Provider key order never counts as a change. A live settings snapshot naming an unknown provider (or failing any other resolver bound) keeps the last good profiles and logs the failure; the entry config itself still fails plugin load.
 
 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. `ctx.llm.resolveModelInfo(provider, model)` performs that exact descriptor lookup once and returns its identity, context window, and selectable thinking levels, keeping authoritative metadata on the route-owning adapter rather than its consumers.
 
 The `reasoning.efforts` list is pi-ai's ordered `getSupportedThinkingLevels(model)` result without filtering or normalization, including `off` and the model-specific availability of `xhigh` or `max`. The Harness exposes each canonical pi-ai level as an opaque ID; provider/model wire spellings remain inside pi-ai's `thinkingLevelMap`. A non-reasoning model therefore exposes pi-ai's `off` choice. The profile `reasoning` value, including `off`, is the deployment default when configured; omitting it preserves the provider default. Per-request `GenerateOptions.reasoningEffort` takes precedence, and any explicit value absent from the exact model capability fails with `UNSUPPORTED_REASONING_EFFORT` before network I/O instead of being clamped. pi-ai's common stream options represent `off` by omitting `reasoning`.
 
-Supported profile fields are `provider`, `apiKey`, `baseURL`, `headers`, `reasoning`, `thinkingBudgets`, `cacheRetention`, `transport`, `timeoutMs`, `websocketConnectTimeoutMs`, `streamIdleTimeoutMs`, and `retryPolicy`. Each profile's optional retry policy is captured with that provider route; omission uses bounded normal defaults. The stream-idle interval is a positive finite Node timer delay, defaults to five minutes, and covers only an outstanding provider read, not consumer think time. Harness app attribution wins a conflicting configured header name.

Idle expiry aborts the SDK's stable request signal and surfaces `TIMEOUT`; an earlier caller abort remains `ABORTED`.

 ## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
 
+- **Settings can add or override routes, not remove composition routes** — the user layer merges over the composition `base`, so deleting a `cordis.yml`-provided provider is a composition change; `replace` on the namespace only resets the user layer.
+- **`apiKey` is schema-tagged `role('secret')` but not yet masked anywhere** — the settings `describe()` envelope returns values verbatim; the wire/UI layer that must redact secret-role fields ships with the settings RPC surface.
 - **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.

+
+## 动态配置（settings + credentials）
+
+适配器经由一个 thunk **每操作读取一次** profile，而非在构造期冻结。插件在可选的 `ctx.settings` seam 上用同一份 `Config` schema 注册 `llm-pi-ai` namespace，并以其 `cordis.yml` 条目为组合 `base`；由于 `providers` 是字典，base 与用户的 `llm-pi-ai:` settings 分节**按提供方**合并：用户可以新增路由、覆盖组合路由的单个字段，或把路由指向另一个 proxy，全部在下一次请求生效，无需重启。未挂载 settings 服务时，仅由 entry 配置驱动适配器，行为不变。
+
+凭据按每次 stream 调用解析：非空的字面 `apiKey` 优先，其次经可选的 `ctx.credentials` seam 解析 `apiKeyEnv`（活跃环境之下的 `$DSH_HOME/.env`；未挂载 seam 时恰好读取该环境变量）。只有完全没有点名任何凭据的 profile——仅限这一种情况——才交给 pi-ai 的环境发现。路由集合与每条路由捕获的重试策略是注册级事实：两者任一变化时，插件都会原子地替换自己的注册（同一适配器实例，候选集合先经校验），因此某条路由若已被另一适配器占有，先前的路由会继续服务，而改回可用配置时注册会重新生效。提供方键的顺序绝不算作变化。存活 settings 快照若点名未知提供方（或违反任何其他 resolver 约束），则保留最后可用 profile 并记录失败；entry 配置本身仍会使插件加载失败。
 
 适配器通过 `ctx.llm.listModels(provider)` 公开每个已配置提供方已安装的 pi-ai 模型。这是从 `getModels(provider)` 派生的提供方无关 selector 元数据；请求时解析仍会执行权威 catalog 查找，因此发现不会创建第二个模型注册表。`ctx.llm.resolveModelInfo(provider, model)` 会执行一次精确 descriptor 查找，并返回其身份、上下文窗口和可选思考级别，让权威元数据保留在拥有路由的适配器上，而非消费方。
 
 `reasoning.efforts` 列表是 pi-ai 有序的 `getSupportedThinkingLevels(model)` 结果，不经筛选或规范化，其中包括 `off`，以及模型对 `xhigh` 或 `max` 的特定支持。Harness 将每个规范 pi-ai 级别公开为不透明 ID；提供方／模型在协议格式中的表示仍保留在 pi-ai 的 `thinkingLevelMap` 中。因此，不具备推理（reasoning）能力的模型也会公开 pi-ai 的 `off` 选项。配置 profile 的 `reasoning` 值（包括 `off`）在存在时是部署默认值；省略它会保留提供方默认值。每次请求的 `GenerateOptions.reasoningEffort` 优先；任何未出现在确切模型能力中的显式值都会在网络 I/O 前以 `UNSUPPORTED_REASONING_EFFORT` 失败，而不会被自动调整。pi-ai 的通用流选项通过省略 `reasoning` 表示 `off`。
 
-受支持的 profile 字段是 `provider`、`apiKey`、`baseURL`、`headers`、`reasoning`、`thinkingBudgets`、`cacheRetention`、`transport`、`timeoutMs`、`websocketConnectTimeoutMs`、`streamIdleTimeoutMs` 和 `retryPolicy`。每个 profile 的可选重试策略都会与该提供方路由一同捕获；省略时使用有界的常规默认值。流空闲间隔必须是正的有限 Node 定时器延迟，默认为五分钟，且只覆盖未完成提供方读取，不包括消费方思考时间。若已配置标头中有同名项，则以 Harness 应用归因为准。

+- `ctx.llm.registerAdapter(providers: string[], adapter: LlmAdapter): AdapterRegistrationHandle` Register one adapter instance for the given provider routes. Registration is all-or-nothing, and is disposed with the calling fiber. The returned disposer also carries `replace(providers)`: the candidate route set is validated in full before anything moves, so a conflict with another adapter leaves the current routes registered and serving, and the swap itself is one synchronous section with no observable gap. `replace([])` is legal — a registration holding zero routes — unlike an empty initial registration.
 - `ctx.llm.listProviders(): LlmProviderInfo[]` Describe registered provider routes in registration order.
 - `ctx.llm.providerRetryPolicy(provider: string): ResolvedRetryPolicy` Return the provider-owned retry policy captured during registration, with normal defaults resolved.
 - `ctx.llm.listModels(provider: string): Promise<LlmModelInfo[]>` Discover the models one registered provider currently advertises.

+- `ctx.llm.registerAdapter(providers: string[], adapter: LlmAdapter): AdapterRegistrationHandle` 为给定提供方路由注册一个适配器实例。注册要么全部成功，要么全部不生效，并且会随调用 fiber 一起 dispose（资源释放）。返回的释放器还携带 `replace(providers)`：候选路由集合会在任何东西变动之前完整校验，因此与另一适配器冲突时，当前路由保持注册且继续服务，而替换本身是一个同步区段，不存在可观察的空档。`replace([])` 合法——一个持有零条路由的注册——这与空的初始注册不同。
 - `ctx.llm.listProviders(): LlmProviderInfo[]` 按注册顺序描述已注册提供方路由。
 - `ctx.llm.providerRetryPolicy(provider: string): ResolvedRetryPolicy` 返回注册时捕获的提供方重试策略，并解析 normal 默认值。
 - `ctx.llm.listModels(provider: string): Promise<LlmModelInfo[]>` 发现某个已注册提供方当前公布的模型。

 While active, `plan:policy` renders the configured `section`. The plugin always registers `exit_plan_mode`, keeping tool schemas stable across the transition; its execute path accepts only active plan mode and leaves it only after an exact user approval through `ctx.userInteraction`.
 
+The review question declares the `plan-review` presentation intent, naming `Approve` as the label that approves it, so a capable UI presents the plan as a decision instead of a generic question; the answer the tool reads is the same either way. A dismissed review — the user closing the request to speak instead — is reported to the model as such, telling it to stay in plan mode and wait for the message; every other review failure keeps the seam's own message.
+
 When `ctx.commands` is composed, the package registers `/plan [message]` and reserves the exact argument `off` for direct exit. Bare `/plan` selects plan mode; any other non-empty argument selects it first and is then submitted through `agent.steer()`, so it becomes the next step's ordinary logged user message under plan guidance. `/plan off` selects inactive without sending model input; it also cancels a pending entry before plan mode reaches a request.
 
 The TUI consumes the plugin-owned `/plan` command; other front doors may drive the same service directly without defining a second mode vocabulary.

+
+Model-facing `bash(command)` backed by one owner-scoped `ctx.pty` shell. The package owns the tool contract and shell reuse; deployments select the PTY backend and sandbox policy.
+
+## Config
+
+| Key | Default | Meaning |
+|---|---:|---|
+| `backendType` | `shell` | Registered PTY backend used for each Agent shell. |
+| `timeoutMs` | `300000` | Wall-clock limit for one command; timeout closes the shell. |
+| `maxOutputChars` | `16000` | Maximum retained command-output characters; fixed diagnostics are added afterward. |
+| `description` | Persistent-shell description | Model-facing environment contract. |
+
+## Model Experience
+
+### Tool schema
+
+#### What the model sees
+
+The generated [`bash` schema](../../../docs/tool-catalog.md#deepseek-aidsh-tool-bash-persistent), including the configured `description`. The plugin contributes no standalone system-prompt section; the deployment owns persona and environment guidance.
+
+#### Token effect
+
+Fixed schema cost while `bash` is visible.
+
+#### KV Cache effect
+
+Prefix-stable while the configured description and schema remain unchanged.
+
+### Tool results
+
+#### What the model sees
+
+Commands share one shell per Agent, so cwd, exported variables, activated environments, functions, and background jobs persist across calls. Results exclude private completion markers and the shell prompt. A nonzero wrapped command appends `[exit code: N]`; a shell that exits before reporting that status instead appends `[shell exited: code N]`, `[shell killed by signal: SIG]`, or `[shell exited]` when the backend supplies neither, then resets and tells the model that the next call starts fresh. Long output keeps the earliest retained prefix plus a clipping notice. If the PTY has already dropped that prefix, the result says so explicitly instead of presenting a tail as complete output. Timeout returns bounded partial output, closes the uncertain shell, and reports the reset.
+
+#### Token effect
+
+Data-dependent. `maxOutputChars` bounds retained command output; fixed clipping, lost-prefix, status, timeout, and reset diagnostics can extend the result.
+
+#### KV Cache effect
+
+Append-only tool results follow the reusable request prefix.
+
+## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
+
+- The tool requires an owning Agent and a real PTY backend.
+- Explicit `exit` and timeout discard shell state. Cancellation also resets and discards the result, even when a complete status marker is already observable; the next call starts a fresh shell.
+- Environment facts such as network access and package mirrors belong in the configured `description`, not this package's default.

+# @deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-bash-persistent
+
+[English](README.md) | 中文
+
+模型可见的 `bash(command)`，底层复用一个按所有者隔离的 `ctx.pty` shell。该包拥有工具契约和 shell 复用；PTY 后端与沙箱策略由部署选择。
+
+## 配置
+
+| 键 | 默认值 | 含义 |
+|---|---:|---|
+| `backendType` | `shell` | 每个 Agent shell 使用的已注册 PTY 后端。 |
+| `timeoutMs` | `300000` | 单条命令的墙钟时间上限；超时会关闭 shell。 |
+| `maxOutputChars` | `16000` | 命令输出最多保留的字符数；固定诊断会在此后追加。 |
+| `description` | 持久 shell 描述 | 面向模型的环境契约。 |
+
+## 模型体验
+
+### 工具 schema
+
+#### 模型所见
+
+生成的 [`bash` schema](../../../docs/tool-catalog.md#deepseek-aidsh-tool-bash-persistent)，其中包含配置的 `description`。本插件不贡献独立系统提示词段；persona 与环境指导由部署负责。
+
+#### Token 影响
+
+`bash` 可见时产生固定的 schema 成本。
+
+#### KV Cache 影响
+
+配置的描述与 schema 不变时前缀稳定。
+
+### 工具结果
+
+#### 模型所见
+
+每个 Agent 的命令共享一个 shell，因此 cwd、导出的环境变量、已激活环境、函数和后台任务会跨调用保留。结果不包含私有完成标记和 shell 提示符。经封装的命令以非零状态结束时，结果会追加 `[exit code: N]`；若 shell 在报告该状态前退出，则改为追加 `[shell exited: code N]`、`[shell killed by signal: SIG]`，或在后端既未提供退出码也未提供信号时追加 `[shell exited]`；随后重置 shell，并告知模型下次调用从新 shell 开始。长输出保留仍可读取的最早前缀并追加截断提示；若 PTY 已丢弃真正的开头，结果会明确说明，而不是把尾部伪装成完整输出。超时返回有界的部分输出、关闭状态不确定的 shell，并报告该重置。
+
+#### Token 影响
+
+随数据变化。`maxOutputChars` 限制保留的命令输出；固定的截断、前缀丢失、状态、超时与重置诊断可能使结果更长。
+
+#### KV Cache 影响
+
+工具结果以追加方式位于可复用请求前缀之后。
+
+## 已知限制与延后工作
+
+- 工具需要拥有它的 Agent 和真实 PTY 后端。
+- 显式 `exit` 与超时会丢弃 shell 状态。取消同样会重置 shell 并丢弃结果，即使已经能观察到完整状态标记也是如此；下次调用创建新 shell。
+- 网络访问、软件包镜像等环境事实应写入配置的 `description`，而非包默认描述。

+# settings/ — user-settings capability family
+
+English | [中文](README.zh.md)
+
+The user-settings seam and its providers. The interface package owns the abstract `Settings` service — namespace registration, layered resolution, and change commits; providers implement raw-document storage and push external edits through the seam. All **product** packages.
+
+| Package | Role | ctx key |
+|---|---|---|
+| `settings/` | Settings seam: namespace registry, layered resolution, commit events | `ctx.settings` |
+| `settings-local/` | File-backed provider (`settings.yaml`/`.json`) with hot reload and comment-preserving write-back | (registers `ctx.settings`) |

+The interface lives at `settings/settings/`; providers are flat siblings. A network configuration-center provider (for example a nacos-style backend) joins here and registers on `ctx.settings`. Composition config stays in `cordis.yml`: a settings namespace carries only the user-editable subset, resolved as schema defaults, then the registrant's composition `base`, then the user document.

+|---|---|---|
+| `settings/` | 设置 seam：namespace 注册表、分层解析、提交事件 | `ctx.settings` |
+| `settings-local/` | 文件 provider（`settings.yaml`/`.json`），热重载与保留注释的写回 | （注册 `ctx.settings`） |

+
+File-backed settings provider. One YAML or JSON document carries every namespace section; external edits hot-publish through `ctx.settings`, and `update()` re-reads the document under a writer lock before writing back atomically, preserving the user's YAML comments, any section owned by a plugin that is not currently loaded, and any on-disk change this process has not observed yet.
+
+## Config
+
+| Field | Meaning | Default |
+|---|---|---|
+| `path` | Settings document path; extension picks the format (`.yaml`/`.yml`/`.json`) | `settings.yaml` under the harness home |
+| `dshHome` | Harness home used when `path` is omitted | `$DSH_HOME` or `~/.dsh` |
+| `watch` | Watch the document and hot-publish external edits | `true` |
+| `debounceMs` | Watcher write-settle window in milliseconds | `100` |
+
+Defaulting is one explicit `resolveSpec(config)` step; an unsupported extension fails at load.
+
+## Behavior
+
+- **Boot fails loud, reload keeps last-good.** An existing-but-invalid document fails plugin load; once live, an unreadable or unparsable edit warns and keeps the last good sections. A missing document resolves every namespace from defaults and `base`; deleting it publishes the same empty state.
+- **Every write is a read-modify-write.** A persist first re-reads the document and publishes any difference into the seam — an external edit still inside the watcher debounce window, a change the watcher missed, or another process's write — then renders against that fresh text, so a write can never resurrect a stale document or drop an unobserved sibling section. If the on-disk document turned invalid, the write rejects loud instead of overwriting the user's manual edit.
+- **Writes hold a cross-process writer lock.** The read-render-rename cycle runs under a `wx`-created `<file>.lock` sibling with exponential backoff, a 2 s acquisition deadline (the write rejects), and stale-lock takeover after 5 s (a crashed holder, broken with a warning). Readers never take the lock: the rename commit is atomic, so reloads are always consistent.
+- **Write-back is atomic, owner-only, and symlink-proof.** The render exclusive-creates a random-suffix temp sibling with mode `0600` (`wx` refuses to follow a planted symlink) and renames over the target, cleaning the temp up on failure.
+- **YAML edits are leaf-level diffs.** A write sets only the values that changed and deletes only the keys that were removed, so comments, anchors, and formatting survive on every untouched node and on the key of every changed pair; a changed array (or other non-map value) replaces wholesale, taking comments inside it along. JSON re-serializes without comments.
+- **Reloads and writes share one operation chain.** Watcher refreshes and persists from every namespace queue run one at a time in queue order; each render sees the text the previous operation committed.
+- **The watcher's ready signal reconciles once.** The initial load races the watcher's own setup, so a change written in between never fires an event; the reconcile at ready closes that startup gap.
+- **Dispose quiesces.** Teardown stops accepting watcher events, closes the watcher, then waits out any queued or in-flight operation, so nothing publishes after disposal.
+- **Self-write suppression by content.** The provider caches the last good text; a watcher event whose content equals the cache (its own write included) is a no-op.
+
+## Model Experience
+
+Indirectly, through consumers of `ctx.settings`: this provider only stores and publishes namespace sections, and each consumer's own surface documents any model effect.
+
+#### KV Cache effect
+
+No direct invalidation; the consuming plugin owns any request-prefix changes.
+
+## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
+
+- **Same-namespace conflicts stay last-write-wins** — the writer lock and read-modify-write keep concurrent writers from dropping each other's namespaces, but two writers editing one namespace still resolve to the later write; there is no per-value merge or revision check.
+- **A missed watcher event stays unseen until the next signal** — reads never re-stat the file, so a change the watcher fails to report is only folded in by the next event, the next write, or a restart.
+- **Comment preservation is YAML-only and map-shaped** — JSON documents re-serialize without comments (JSON has none), and comments inside a changed array (or attached inline to a changed scalar value) go with the value they described.
+- **No value indirection** — sections hold literal values; `${env:VAR}`-style references for secrets are a deferred seam-level feature.

+文件 settings provider。一个 YAML 或 JSON 文档承载全部 namespace 分节；外部编辑经 `ctx.settings` 热发布，`update()` 在写锁下先重读文档再原子写回，保留用户的 YAML 注释、当前未加载插件所拥有的分节，以及任何本进程尚未观察到的磁盘变更。
+
+## 配置
+
+| 字段 | 含义 | 默认 |
+|---|---|---|
+| `path` | 设置文档路径；扩展名决定格式（`.yaml`/`.yml`/`.json`） | harness home 下的 `settings.yaml` |
+| `dshHome` | `path` 省略时使用的 harness home | `$DSH_HOME` 或 `~/.dsh` |
+| `watch` | 监听文档并热发布外部编辑 | `true` |
+| `debounceMs` | watcher 写入稳定窗口（毫秒） | `100` |
+
+默认值解析是一步显式的 `resolveSpec(config)`；不支持的扩展名在加载时报错。
+
+## 行为
+
+- **启动报错响亮，重载保留最后可用值。** 存在但非法的文档使插件加载失败；运行中不可读或不可解析的编辑只告警并保留最后可用分节。文档缺失时所有 namespace 按默认值与 `base` 解析；删除文档发布同样的空状态。
+- **每次写入都是一次读-改-写。** persist 先重读文档并把任何差异发布进 seam——无论是仍在 watcher 防抖窗口内的外部编辑、watcher 漏掉的变更，还是另一个进程的写入——再基于这份新鲜文本渲染，因此写入绝不会复活陈旧文档，也不会丢掉未观察到的同级分节。若磁盘上的文档已变为非法，写入响亮拒绝，而不是覆盖用户的手工编辑。
+- **写入持有跨进程写锁。** 读-渲染-rename 流程在 `wx` 创建的 `<file>.lock` 同级文件下运行，带指数退避、2 s 的获取期限（到期则写入拒绝）与 5 s 后的陈旧锁接管（持有者已崩溃，破锁并告警）。读取方从不取锁：rename 提交是原子的，重载因此始终一致。
+- **写回原子、仅属主可读、抗符号链接。** 渲染以 `0600` 权限独占创建随机后缀临时同级文件（`wx` 拒绝跟随预埋符号链接）后 rename 覆盖目标，失败时清理临时文件。
+- **YAML 编辑是叶子级 diff。** 写入只设置发生变化的值、只删除被移除的键，因此注释、锚点与排版在每个未触碰的节点上以及每个被改键值对的键上都得以保留；被改的数组（或其他非 map 值）整体替换，其中的注释随之一同被换掉。JSON 重新序列化，无注释。
+- **重载与写入共享一条操作链。** watcher 刷新与来自各 namespace 队列的 persist 按队列顺序逐个执行；每次渲染都基于上一次操作提交后的文本。
+- **watcher 的 ready 信号做一次对账。** 初始加载与 watcher 自身的建立存在竞态，因此其间写入的变更绝不会触发事件；ready 时的对账补上这个启动缺口。
+- **Dispose 保证静止。** 卸载先停止接收 watcher 事件、关闭 watcher，再等完排队与进行中的操作，之后不再有任何发布。
+- **按内容抑制自写。** provider 缓存最后可用文本；watcher 事件内容与缓存相同（含自己的写入）即为 no-op。
+
+## Model Experience
+
+间接生效：本 provider 只存储并发布 namespace 分节，模型效果经由 `ctx.settings` 的消费插件产生，由各消费者自己的文档描述。
+
+#### KV Cache effect
+
+无直接失效；请求前缀的变更由消费插件拥有。
+
+## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
+
+- **同 namespace 冲突仍是后写胜出** — 写锁加读-改-写让并发写入者不会丢掉彼此的 namespace，但两个写入者编辑同一个 namespace 时仍以较后的写入为准；没有按值合并，也没有修订检查。
+- **漏掉的 watcher 事件在下一个信号前保持不可见** — 读取从不重新 stat 文件，因此 watcher 漏报的变更只会在下一个事件、下一次写入或重启时被并入。
+- **注释保留仅限 YAML 且仅限 map 形状** — JSON 文档重新序列化，无注释（JSON 本身没有），且被改数组内部的注释（或行内附着在被改标量值上的注释）随其所描述的值一同被换掉。
+- **无值间接引用** — 分节存字面值；面向密钥的 `${env:VAR}` 式引用是 seam 层的延后特性。

+
+Abstract user-settings seam (`ctx.settings`). One provider holds a raw document of per-namespace sections; plugins register a namespace schema and read a resolved value layered as schema defaults, then the registrant's composition `base` (its cordis.yml entry-config subset), then the user document section. Without a mounted provider nothing changes for consumers: they keep resolving entry config alone, so every composition works with or without settings.
+
+## Service API
+
+- `register(ns, schema, { base?, applies? })` — returns the owner `SettingsScope` (`get`/`watch`/`update`). The registration is an effect on the calling plugin's fiber: disposing that fiber removes the namespace and its observers. A stored section the schema rejects fails the registration itself; a duplicate namespace fails loud.
+- `describe()` — one descriptor per namespace (`schema.toJSON()` envelope, resolved value, `applies`) for configuration surfaces.
+- `get(ns)` — resolved value, `undefined` while unregistered.
+- `update(ns, patch)` — deep-merges the plain-object patch into the user section only (never the `base`), validates the resolved candidate, persists through the provider, then commits. Patches must be JSON-shaped data: a Date, Map, BigInt, non-finite number, or circular reference rejects with its `$`-rooted path before anything persists (YAML/JSON storage would silently distort such values on reload). Validation failure rejects before anything is persisted; a read-only provider (`writable: false`) rejects every write. Writes to one namespace are serialized in call order.
+- `replace(ns, section)` — sets the user section wholesale: the removal/reset path a merge cannot express (`replace({})` re-inherits `base` and schema defaults).
+- Resolved values are deep-frozen snapshots. Watchers receive `(next, prev)` after each commit: invocations of one callback run asynchronously, one at a time, in commit order (a slow stale invocation can never apply after a newer one), and failures — sync throws and async rejections alike — are contained. After a watch disposer returns, no further invocation starts (one already queued is skipped); an invocation already started still settles. The `settings/updated` event fans out one listener at a time, so one throwing listener cannot starve the rest; an async listener's rejection is contained and logged, which is why `INVARIANT`-coded failures rethrow only from synchronous listeners.
+- Service teardown refuses new writes and watcher starts, then drains every queued write and every started watcher invocation before disposal completes; a write whose registrant fiber was disposed mid-flight still reaches storage but commits and notifies nobody.
+
+## Provider contract
+
+Subclasses implement `writable`, `load()`, and `persist(ns, section)`, and push externally observed documents through the protected `publish(doc)`. The base service init loads and publishes the document once before the service becomes injectable; a provider with its own init (watcher, connection) delegates first via `yield* super[Service.init]()`. At publish, each registered namespace re-resolves independently: an invalid section keeps that namespace's last good value and warns — a live reload never takes the process down — while boot-time and registration-time validation fail loud.
+
+## Events
+
+`settings/updated (ns, next, prev, source)` fires after each commit; `source` is `update` (in-process write) or `provider` (external change). It never fires for a deep-equal resolved value.
+
+## Model Experience
+
+Indirectly, through consumer plugins that resolve model-affecting values (for example a default model route) from their namespaces; each consumer's own surface documents the effect.
+
+#### KV Cache effect
+
+No direct invalidation; a consumer that folds a settings value into the request prefix owns that change.
+
+## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
+
+- **Single user layer** — resolution knows schema defaults, one composition `base`, and one user document; there is no project/managed layering or per-value provenance yet.
+- **Cross-process concurrency is provider-defined** — the seam serializes writes per namespace in-process only; concurrent processes converge by provider behavior (the local file provider read-modify-writes under a writer lock, so namespaces survive concurrent writers and same-namespace conflicts resolve last-write-wins).
+- **No secret-field redaction** — `describe()` returns resolved values verbatim; a wire surface (RPC/UI) must redact `role('secret')` fields before exposure.

+
+抽象用户设置 seam（`ctx.settings`）。一个 provider 持有按 namespace 分节的原始文档；插件注册 namespace schema 并读取分层解析值：schema 默认值，然后注册方的组合 `base`（其 cordis.yml entry 配置子集），最后用户文档分节。不挂载 provider 时消费者行为不变：仍只按 entry 配置解析，因此任何组合有无 settings 都能工作。
+
+## 服务 API
+
+- `register(ns, schema, { base?, applies? })` — 返回 owner 的 `SettingsScope`（`get`/`watch`/`update`）。注册是调用方插件 fiber 上的 effect：dispose 该 fiber 即移除 namespace 及其观察者。schema 拒绝的存量分节会使注册本身失败；重复 namespace 立即报错。
+- `describe()` — 每个 namespace 一条描述（`schema.toJSON()` 信封、解析值、`applies`），供配置界面使用。
+- `get(ns)` — 解析值；未注册时为 `undefined`。
+- `update(ns, patch)` — 把普通对象 patch 深合并进用户分节（绝不合并进 `base`），校验解析候选值，经 provider 持久化后提交。patch 必须是 JSON 形状的数据：Date、Map、BigInt、非有限数或循环引用会在任何内容持久化前带着以 `$` 为根的路径拒绝（YAML/JSON 存储在重载时会静默扭曲这类值）。校验失败在持久化前拒绝；只读 provider（`writable: false`）拒绝一切写入。同一 namespace 的写入按调用顺序串行。
+- `replace(ns, section)` — 整体替换用户分节：merge 表达不了的删除/重置路径（`replace({})` 重新继承 `base` 与 schema 默认值）。
+- 解析值是深冻结快照。每次提交后观察者收到 `(next, prev)`：同一回调的调用异步、逐次、按提交顺序执行（慢的旧调用绝不会覆盖更新的结果），异常——同步抛出与异步拒绝——均被隔离。watch 的 disposer 返回后不再启动新的调用（已排队的那一次会被跳过）；已启动的调用仍会结算。`settings/updated` 事件逐 listener 扇出，一个抛错的 listener 不会饿死其余 listener；异步 listener 的拒绝会被隔离并记入日志，这正是 `INVARIANT` 编码的失败只从同步 listener 重新抛出的原因。
+- 服务卸载先拒绝新写入与观察者调用的启动，再排干全部排队写入与已启动的观察者调用后才完成；registrant fiber 在写入途中被 dispose 时，该写入仍到达存储，但不向任何人提交或通知。
+
+## Provider 契约
+
+子类实现 `writable`、`load()`、`persist(ns, section)`，并通过受保护的 `publish(doc)` 推入外部观察到的文档。基类 service init 在服务可注入前加载并发布一次文档；自有 init（watcher、连接）的 provider 先经 `yield* super[Service.init]()` 委托。publish 时每个已注册 namespace 独立重解析：非法分节保留该 namespace 的最后可用值并告警——热重载绝不拖垮进程；启动期与注册期校验则立即报错。
+
+## 事件
+
+`settings/updated (ns, next, prev, source)` 在每次提交后触发；`source` 为 `update`（进程内写入）或 `provider`（外部变更）。解析值深相等时绝不触发。
+
+## Model Experience
+
+间接生效：消费插件从各自 namespace 解析影响模型的值（例如默认模型路由）；效果由各消费者自己的文档描述。
+
+#### KV Cache effect
+
+无直接失效；把设置值折叠进请求前缀的消费者拥有该变更。
+
+## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
+
+- **单一用户层** — 解析只认识 schema 默认值、一个组合 `base` 与一个用户文档；尚无 project/managed 分层或按值溯源。
+- **跨进程并发由 provider 定义** — seam 仅在进程内按 namespace 串行化写入；跨进程并发按 provider 行为收敛（本地文件 provider 在写锁下读-改-写，因此 namespace 在并发写入者下不会丢失，同 namespace 冲突按后写胜出解决）。
+- **无 secret 字段脱敏** — `describe()` 原样返回解析值；wire 面（RPC/UI）在暴露前必须对 `role('secret')` 字段脱敏。

The pin's `session.jsonl` stores `"system":"{{system}}","tools":"{{tools}}"` while retaining config, reason, and any model-visible prefix. A pin with legitimate mid-run header changes declares `expectedHeaderChanges`; a shared source must declare the same count, and record/refresh rejects claimants that generate different bytes.

 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 Agent Note](../../../.agents/notes/archived/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 expected outputs, and owned 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 Agent Note](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/testing/2026-06-19-acp-snapshot-tests.md).

A patch naming an entry id absent from the booted tree is skipped with a loader warning. An empty or comments-only file throws (it parses to nothing, not to a list); disable the overlay with `[]` or by deleting the file.
+- **`.env`** — the credential store of [`dsh-credentials-local`](../../credentials/credentials-local/README.md), read by that provider alone. No surface hoists it into `process.env`: doing so would make every stored key look like a read-only launch override on the next run, blocking rotation from the TUI and the web page. The environment layers are the ambient one and the invoking directory's `.env` (loaded by the bin; `process.loadEnvFile` never overrides), and a composition without the credential provider keeps resolving keys from those alone.

 After terminal startup succeeds, the package provides the terminal-local `ctx.tui` extension service. A plugin that injects it can call `openOverlay()` with a component factory and constrained layout options; the host exposes the viewport, semantic theme, display-text escaping, redraw, close, and a lifetime signal, but not the pi-tui tree, terminal, focus controller, or overlay handle. Plugin overlays, the model selector, and user questions share one FIFO modal queue. Each request is an effect of the calling plugin fiber, so unload removes queued work or closes visible work before cleanup settles; terminal shutdown unloads dependents before stopping pi-tui. Overlay state is not logged or replayed. Component code is trusted and may render ANSI styling, but must pass untrusted text through `host.display()`. The [interactive-extension Agent Note](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-22-tui-interactive-extension-service.md) owns the boundary and rejected alternatives.

 While the agent is running, ordinary editor submissions call `agent.steer()`; otherwise they call `agent.followup()`. A slash at the start of the submitted line enters `ctx.commands` instead: known commands execute directly, unknown commands produce a warning, and neither path automatically reaches the model. A command producer may explicitly schedule agent work; [`dsh-plan-mode`](../../plan/plan-mode/README.md#model-and-human-surfaces) uses that contract for `/plan [message]`. The TUI registers `/help`, `/model`, `/clear`, `/palette`, `/reload`, `/resume`, `/status`, and `/exit` as agent-scoped definitions; every other effective command joins autocomplete and `/help` dynamically, as do `/skill:` completions. A status line above the editor reports the turn phase the TUI derives from session events — waiting for the first token, thinking, responding, or executing tools — with the elapsed time in that phase and the running step total, refreshed each second, and ends with the `Enter sends steering, Esc cancels` hint; while steering messages wait to reach the model it inserts a `N queued ·` badge before the hint that clears as each drains. Ctrl+C or Escape cancels a running turn. Tool and injected-context cards collapse long bodies into a configurable head/tail preview; Ctrl+O cycles tool cards through collapsed preview, full output, and hidden — the hidden phase drops tool cards from the transcript entirely while context cards stay at their preview, since injected instructions are not tool traffic. An injected-context card renders its message as prose with the producer's outer reminder frame stripped, so neither the fold nor the frame stripping depends on the payload's syntax. Ctrl+R toggles reasoning, Ctrl+L redraws, and Ctrl+D exits while idle.

When an adapter does not advertise a default effort, the cycle also includes `provider default`, which clears an explicit selection; models without selectable effort metadata ignore Shift+Tab. The selector renders the exact advertised effort list—including `off` when present—and does not synthesize, clamp, or transfer an effort between models. `/model <model>` still selects an unambiguous model id directly, while `/model <provider>/<model>` selects an exact target and uses its adapter default when one exists.

 `/reload` (EXPERIMENTAL, dev-only) re-reads every file-backed loader config tree and applies the diff to the running app — the HMR watcher's config path, invoked manually; it needs the cordis Loader in the context and degrades to a warning without one, runs only while the agent is idle, and refuses re-entry while a reload is in flight. Module-source hot reload remains watcher-owned. When a `skills` service is mounted, `/skill:<name> [instructions]` loads that skill's instructions into the conversation as a user turn; autocomplete lists user-invocable skills, and exact invocation rejects a skill whose user policy disables it.

The composing app must mount the TUI before its config-created agent so the front door can observe `agent-loop/config-start-failed`; a matching exact-session failure is written before fullscreen mode starts and exits with status 1 instead of leaving a blank terminal. Disposal stops extension admission, unloads the `ctx.tui` provider and its dependent plugins, aborts running commands, removes the TUI definitions, stops loaders, rejects pending questions, drains terminal input, restores terminal state, unregisters event listeners and the user-interaction provider, and never exits a replacement process during HMR. A user exit disposes the application root so sibling resources close, then exits; a five-second fallback prevents one stuck disposer from trapping the process.

 终端成功启动后，本包会提供终端本地的 `ctx.tui` 扩展服务。注入该服务的插件可以使用组件工厂和受限布局选项调用 `openOverlay()`；宿主会公开 viewport、语义化主题、显示文本转义、重绘、关闭和生命周期信号，但不公开 pi-tui 树、终端、焦点控制器或 overlay 句柄。插件 overlay、模型选择器和用户问题共用一个 FIFO 模态队列。每个请求都是调用方插件 fiber 的 effect，因此卸载会移除排队工作，或在清理结算前关闭可见工作；终端关闭会先卸载依赖项，再停止 pi-tui。Overlay 状态不会记录或回放。组件代码受信任，可以渲染 ANSI 样式，但必须通过 `host.display()` 处理不受信任文本。[交互式扩展 Agent Note](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-22-tui-interactive-extension-service.md)持有该边界和未采用的替代方案。

 Agent 运行时，普通编辑器提交会调用 `agent.steer()`；其他时候调用 `agent.followup()`。提交行以斜杠开头时会改为进入 `ctx.commands`：已知命令直接执行，未知命令产生警告，两条路径都不会自动到达模型。命令生产方可以显式调度 agent 工作；[`dsh-plan-mode`](../../plan/plan-mode/README.md#model-and-human-surfaces) 使用该契约实现 `/plan [message]`。TUI 将 `/help`、`/model`、`/clear`、`/palette`、`/reload`、`/resume`、`/status` 和 `/exit` 注册为 agent 作用域定义；其他所有有效命令都会动态加入自动补全与 `/help`，`/skill:` 补全也相同。编辑器上方的状态行会报告 TUI 从会话事件派生的轮次阶段，包括等待首个 token、思考、响应或执行工具；它显示该阶段已经过时间和运行中的步骤总数，每秒刷新，并以 `Enter sends steering, Esc cancels` 提示结尾。Steering 消息等待到达模型期间，会在提示前插入 `N queued ·` 徽标，每条消息排空后随即清除。Ctrl+C 或 Escape 会取消运行中的轮次。工具卡片与注入上下文卡片都把长主体折叠为可配置的头尾预览；Ctrl+O 让工具卡片在折叠预览、完整输出、隐藏三种状态间循环——隐藏阶段把工具卡片从 transcript 中完全去掉，而上下文卡片保持预览，因为注入的指令不属于工具流量。注入上下文卡片把消息渲染为文本，并去掉生产方的外层提醒外框，因此折叠与去外框都不依赖载荷的语法。Ctrl+R 切换 reasoning，Ctrl+L 重绘，Ctrl+D 在空闲时退出。

+- `AskUserQuestionRequest` — `{ questions: [{ id, question, detail?, header?, options?, multiSelect?, intent? }], agent?, signal? }`; `detail` supplies supporting text that providers render with the question without turning it into an option label.

+- `AskUserQuestionIntent` — `{ kind: 'plan-review', approve }`; the tagged presentation intent below.
 - `AskUserQuestionAnswer` — `{ answers: [{ id, selected, custom? }] }`.
 - `UserInteractionProvider` — UI implementation with `ask(request)`.

+- `UserInteractionError` — `HarnessError` subclass with codes such as `EMPTY_QUESTIONS`, `BAD_INTENT`, `NO_PROVIDER`, `DUPLICATE_PROVIDER`, and `ASK_ABORTED`.
 
 When an answer includes `custom`, `selected` is empty; custom text is an override rather than a supplement to selected choices. A UI may preserve a skipped item as `{ id, selected: [] }`, keeping the existing answer shape while retaining other answers in the batch.
 
+### Presentation intent
+
+`intent` declares that a question IS a decision of a known shape, so a UI that recognises the tag may present it as such — `plan-review` says `detail` is a plan under review, and `dsh-plan-mode` sets it on the `exit_plan_mode` question. An intent shapes presentation only: a UI honouring it answers with the same option labels a generic UI would send, and a UI that does not know the tag renders the generic option list, so callers read one answer shape either way. `approve` names the label that approves rather than relying on option order. `ask()` rejects with `BAD_INTENT` the two assertions no type can carry: an `approve` naming none of that question's own options, and an intent on a question with no `detail` — the thing it declares itself a review of.
+
 ## Role
 
 This is the interface package. Model-facing consumers such as `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-ask-user` depend on this seam; `dsh-tui` and the host runtime provide interactive implementations. The loop stays unchanged: a tool call awaits a promise, and the tool result resumes the normal agent loop.

 ### 关键类型

+- `AskUserQuestionIntent`：`{ kind: 'plan-review', approve }`；即下文的带标签呈现意图。
 - `AskUserQuestionAnswer`：`{ answers: [{ id, selected, custom? }] }`。
 - `UserInteractionProvider`：包含 `ask(request)` 的 UI 实现。

+- `UserInteractionError`：`HarnessError` 的子类，包含 `EMPTY_QUESTIONS`、`BAD_INTENT`、`NO_PROVIDER`、`DUPLICATE_PROVIDER` 和 `ASK_ABORTED` 等代码。
 
 当回答包含 `custom` 时，`selected` 为空；自定义文本是所选选项的替代，而不是补充。UI 可以把跳过的条目保留为 `{ id, selected: [] }`，既维持现有回答形态，也保留该批次中的其他回答。
 
+### 呈现意图
+
+`intent` 声明某个问题本身就是一次已知形状的决定，因此认识该标签的 UI 可以照此呈现 —— `plan-review` 表示 `detail` 是一份待审阅的计划，`dsh-plan-mode` 会在 `exit_plan_mode` 的问题上设置它。意图只塑造呈现：遵循它的 UI 回答的仍是通用 UI 会发送的那些选项标签，不认识该标签的 UI 渲染通用选项列表，因此调用方两种情况下读到的都是同一种回答形态。`approve` 指名表示批准的标签，而不依赖选项顺序。有两项断言是任何类型都承载不了的，`ask()` 会以 `BAD_INTENT` 拒绝它们：`approve` 未命中该问题自身的任一选项，以及意图落在没有 `detail` 的问题上 —— 而 `detail` 正是它自称在审阅的东西。
+
 ## 职责
 
 这是接口包（package）。`@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-ask-user` 等面向模型的消费方依赖此 seam；`dsh-tui` 和宿主运行时提供交互式实现。循环保持不变：工具调用等待 Promise，工具结果随后恢复正常的 agent loop（智能体循环）。

+English | [中文](README.zh.md)
+
+Zero-dependency atomic file replacement shared by file-backed stores that must never leave partial, symlink-hijacked, or wider-than-intended content on disk — the user-settings document (`dsh-settings-local`) and the credentials store (`dsh-credentials-local`).
+
+## Surface
+
+```ts
+import { withFileLock, writeFileAtomic } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-atomic-write'
+
+declare const text: string
+declare const render: (previous: string) => string
+
+await writeFileAtomic('/home/u/.dsh/settings.yaml', text, { mode: 0o600 })
+
+// Read-modify-write against the same file from several processes.
+await withFileLock('/home/u/.dsh/settings.yaml', async () => {
+  await writeFileAtomic('/home/u/.dsh/settings.yaml', render(text), { mode: 0o600 })
+})
+```
+
+`writeFileAtomic` commits one already-rendered string. The contract, in the order failures would exploit it:
+
+- **Exclusive-create temp** (`wx`, random suffix): the open refuses to follow a symlink planted at a guessable temp path.
+- **The fresh inode carries `mode` through the rename**: replacing a wider-permission file narrows it without a chmod race. `mode` is required so the permission decision stays visible at every call site (subject to the process umask, like every fresh inode).
+- **`rename` replaces a symlinked target itself**, never writing through to its referent.
+- **Same-directory sibling** keeps the rename on one filesystem, so the swap stays atomic.
+- Parent directories are created; on any failure the temp is removed and the failure rethrown; readers observe either the old or the new complete content.
+
+`withFileLock` serializes the writers of one file across processes, for the read-render-commit cycles a bare atomic commit cannot make safe on its own. The lock is a `wx`-created `<filename>.lock` sibling, so readers never contend; waiters back off exponentially and fail with a timeout rather than block forever. A lock older than the stale age is treated as a crashed holder and broken — see [Known Limitations and Deferred Work](#known-limitations-and-deferred-work) for what that costs.
+
+## Model Experience
+
+None, as this is a pure filesystem primitive; nothing here reaches a model request.
+
+#### KV Cache effect
+
+None; nothing here enters a request prefix.
+
+## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
+
+- **Atomic, not durable** — no `fsync` of the file or its directory, so after a crash the rename may be observed unwound. The file-backed stores here re-read and republish on boot, keeping durability the caller's policy.
+- **String content only** — no `Buffer` or stream form until a consumer needs one.
+- **The lock takes over by age, not by ownership** (`TODO(settings-lock-ownership)`) — a holder slower than the stale age has its lock broken by a waiter, and release unlinks the path unconditionally, so a slow writer can remove a successor's lock. Two writers can then overlap and one cycle's result be lost. The stale age is set well above any write this repo performs, so the exposure is a paused or swapped-out process; ownership-safe acquisition and release is the fix.

+# dsh-atomic-write
+
+[English](README.md) | 中文
+
+零依赖的原子文件替换，供绝不允许在磁盘上留下不完整、被符号链接劫持或权限过宽内容的文件型存储共用：用户设置文档（`dsh-settings-local`）与凭据存储（`dsh-credentials-local`）。
+
+## 接口面
+
+```ts
+import { withFileLock, writeFileAtomic } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-atomic-write'
+
+declare const text: string
+declare const render: (previous: string) => string
+
+await writeFileAtomic('/home/u/.dsh/settings.yaml', text, { mode: 0o600 })
+
+// Read-modify-write against the same file from several processes.
+await withFileLock('/home/u/.dsh/settings.yaml', async () => {
+  await writeFileAtomic('/home/u/.dsh/settings.yaml', render(text), { mode: 0o600 })
+})
+```
+
+`writeFileAtomic` 提交一份已经渲染好的字符串。契约按故障利用它的先后顺序列出：
+
+- **独占创建临时文件**（`wx` + 随机后缀）：open 拒绝跟随预先埋在可猜测临时路径上的符号链接。
+- **全新 inode 携带 `mode` 走完 rename**：替换权限过宽的旧文件时直接收窄，不存在 chmod 竞态。`mode` 为必填，让权限决策始终可见于每个调用点（与所有新建 inode 一样受进程 umask 影响）。
+- **`rename` 替换的是符号链接目标本身**，绝不写穿到其指向的文件。
+- **同目录兄弟文件**保证 rename 落在同一文件系统上，交换保持原子。
+- 自动创建父目录；任何失败都会移除临时文件并重新抛出该失败；读取方只会观察到旧内容或完整的新内容。
+
+`withFileLock` 跨进程串行化同一文件的写入方，服务于单靠原子提交无法保证安全的读-渲染-提交循环。锁是以 `wx` 创建的同目录 `<filename>.lock`，因此读取方从不参与竞争；等待方按指数退避，超时即失败而非无限阻塞。超过陈旧时限的锁被视为持有者已崩溃并被打破——其代价见[Known Limitations and Deferred Work](#known-limitations-and-deferred-work)。
+
+## Model Experience
+
+无：本包是纯文件系统原语，此处没有任何内容会到达模型请求。
+
+#### KV Cache effect
+
+无；此处没有任何内容会进入请求前缀。
+
+## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
+
+- **原子但不保证持久**——不对文件或其所在目录做 `fsync`，因此崩溃后可能观察到 rename 被回退。此处的文件型存储在启动时重新读取并重新发布，把持久性留作调用方的策略。
+- **仅支持字符串内容**——在有消费方需要之前，不提供 `Buffer` 或流式形态。
+- **锁按时长而非归属接管**（`TODO(settings-lock-ownership)`）——持有者若慢于陈旧时限，其锁会被等待方打破，而释放又无条件删除该路径，因此慢写入方可能删掉后继者的锁。两个写入方随之重叠，一轮循环的结果可能丢失。陈旧时限远高于本仓库的任何一次写入，因此暴露面是被暂停或被换出的进程；修法是按归属安全地获取与释放。

 每个工具独立注册；只需要其中一个工具的产品可以通过配置禁用另一个（`{ search: false }`／`{ fetch: false }`）。

 Two carriers coexist under `src/deepseek_harness_runtime/runtime/`, both injected by the repo's `scripts/build-exe-for-python-sdk.ts` build and both gitignored:
 
-- **exe (production)** — single-file executables `dsh-jsonrpc-agent-pkg-<platform>-<arch>` (platform: `linux`/`macos`; arch: `x64`/`arm64`). No Node installation needed on the target machine. This is the only carrier that ships in wheel distributions; this package does not publish sdists.
+- **exe (production)** — a single-file Node executable `dsh-jsonrpc-agent-pkg-<platform>-<arch>` (platform: `linux`/`macos`; arch: `x64`/`arm64`). macOS builds also ship the native `-spawn-helper` sibling that `node-pty` uses there. No Node installation is needed on the target machine. This is the only carrier that ships in wheel distributions; this package does not publish sdists.
 - **node (dev-only)** — the full deploy closure under `runtime/node/` (`package.json` + `node_modules/`), executed as `node runtime/node/node_modules/@deepseek-ai/dsh-jsonrpc-demo/lib/bin.js` on a system Node >= 22.19. It is the current checkout's source build, meant for repo-local development and verification only; it is never selected automatically and is excluded from distributions.
 
 Both carriers hold the same content, defined once: the [package.json](package.json) at this package's root is the deploy root of the single-exe pipeline — a pure dependency manifest (no code of its own) whose dependency closure IS both the plugin set compiled into the exe and the tree materialized into `runtime/node/`. Adding a plugin to the distribution means adding one dependency line there and rebuilding.
 
 A missing exe raises `FileNotFoundError` naming both acquisition routes: build via `scripts/build-exe-for-python-sdk.ts` in a deepseek-harness checkout, or install the matching platform runtime wheel produced by the `build-exe-for-python-sdk` CI workflow. A missing dev-only node carrier names its sole route, the build script. The workflow retains wheels rather than standalone executable archives. Acquisition strategy is deliberately separate from the lookup interface, so an on-demand download can replace it later without touching callers.
 
-Each wheel contains exactly one executable. The fixed tags are `py3-none-manylinux_2_28_x86_64`, `py3-none-manylinux_2_28_aarch64`, and `py3-none-macosx_11_0_arm64`; the build hook rejects `py3-none-any`, absent or multiple executables, and unsupported platform tags. The repository root `package.json` supplies the shared version for this package and the SDK, and a `python-vX.Y.Z` release tag must match it.
+Each wheel contains exactly one runtime executable. The macOS wheel also contains its matching native spawn helper; a missing sidecar makes that installation incomplete and is a hard startup error, even for a selected Cordis composition that does not use PTY tools. Linux wheels contain no spawn helper because `node-pty` uses the staged `pty.node` addon directly. The fixed tags are `py3-none-manylinux_2_28_x86_64`, `py3-none-manylinux_2_28_aarch64`, and `py3-none-macosx_11_0_arm64`; the build hook rejects `py3-none-any`, absent or multiple runtime files, non-executable files, and unsupported platform tags. The repository root `package.json` supplies the shared version for this package and the SDK, and a `python-vX.Y.Z` release tag must match it.
 
 ## Resolution API
 
 - `resolve_bundled_launch_args(mode=None) -> tuple[str, ...]` — the argv tuple that launches the bundled runtime: `(exe_path,)` in exe mode, `(node_path, bin_js_path)` in node mode. Mode selection: explicit argument > `DSH_RUNTIME_MODE` env var (`exe` | `node`) > automatic. Automatic resolution finds the production exe ONLY — the dev-only node carrier must be opted into explicitly so a production deployment can never silently ride on a source build.
-- `bundled_runtime_path() -> Path` — the platform exe path (exe carrier only; the node carrier has no single-path equivalent and launches via the argv tuple above).
+- `bundled_runtime_path() -> Path` — the platform exe path (exe carrier only; on macOS it validates that the required sibling `-spawn-helper` is also installed). The node carrier has no single-path equivalent and launches via the argv tuple above.
 - `bundled_default_config_path() -> Path` — the checked-in default config (see below).
 - `bundled_package_dir() -> Path` — the installed package data root.

 - `resolve_bundled_launch_args(mode=None) -> tuple[str, ...]`——启动内置运行时的 argv 元组：exe 模式下为 `(exe_path,)`，node 模式下为 `(node_path, bin_js_path)`。模式选择：显式参数 > `DSH_RUNTIME_MODE` 环境变量（`exe` | `node`）> 自动。自动解析只找生产 exe——仅限开发的 node 载体必须显式选用，从而生产部署绝不会悄悄跑在源码构建上。
-- `bundled_runtime_path() -> Path`——平台 exe 路径（仅 exe 载体；node 载体没有单一路径的等价物，经由上面的 argv 元组启动）。
+- `bundled_runtime_path() -> Path`——平台 exe 路径（仅 exe 载体，并会在 macOS 上校验必要的 `-spawn-helper` 伴随文件也已安装）。node 载体没有单一路径的等价物，经由上面的 argv 元组启动。
 - `bundled_default_config_path() -> Path`——检入的默认配置（见下文）。
 - `bundled_package_dir() -> Path`——已安装包的数据根目录。

-        "content": "# Development guide\n\nEnglish | [中文](development.zh.md)\n\nThis onboarding guide helps project contributors get started with the local environment, daily workflow, and CI flow; see the Agent Notes for design rationale and technical trade-offs.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\n- Node.js supports 22.19+ and 24+. CI covers 22.19, 24, and 26; see the [Node engine floor Agent Note](../.agents/notes/implemented/process/2026-07-06-node-engine-floor.md).\n- Corepack-enabled pnpm. The repo pins `pnpm@11.7.0` in `package.json`; run `corepack enable` if `pnpm --version` does not resolve through Corepack.\n- Git 2.26 or newer; hook setup enables Git's worktree-specific configuration extension.\n- Optional: a DeepSeek API key for the TUI, headless, and ACP automation demos and real-API e2e tests.\n\n## First-time setup\n\nInstall dependencies from the repo root:\n\n```sh\npnpm install\n```\n\nThe install also runs the root `postinstall` script, which installs lefthook from the repo dev dependency through `scripts/install-lefthook.mjs`. With `CI=true` or `GITHUB_ACTIONS=true`, the wrapper returns before Git discovery because automated jobs do not consume contributor hooks. Otherwise, it requires Git 2.26 or newer and gives the current worktree an explicit hook directory under its own Git directory; linked worktrees therefore use their own lefthook binary and configuration instead of rewriting common hooks. The first install enables Git's worktree-specific configuration extension and repository format 1; see the [worktree-local hooks Agent Note](../.agents/notes/implemented/process/2026-07-27-worktree-local-lefthook.md).\n\nIf hooks are missing because dependencies were restored from cache or `postinstall` was skipped, install them manually:\n\n```sh\nnode scripts/install-lefthook.mjs\n```\n\nThe wrapper refuses user-owned `core.hooksPath` values. An inherited system, global, or common-repository path requires `DSH_LEFTHOOK_ALLOW_HOOKS_PATH_OVERRIDE=1`. When Git seeds a new worktree with another registered worktree's marker-backed hook path, the wrapper replaces that copied value with the new worktree's own path; command-scoped and other worktree-scoped paths must be integrated or removed explicitly.\n\nBefore enabling worktree config, migrate direct `extensions.*` in a format-0 common config, direct `core.worktree` or `core.bare=true`, and any non-empty dormant `config.worktree`. The common config and every worktree config must be regular files, while the owned hook directory may contain only unaliased regular files.\n\nAfter moving a checkout, rerun the wrapper to relocate its owned path and regenerate hooks. For a stale or invalid installer lock, first confirm no installer is running, then remove the reported lock and retry. If installation and hook-path rollback both fail, inspect the reported worktree config before retrying. The [worktree-local hooks Agent Note](../.agents/notes/implemented/process/2026-07-27-worktree-local-lefthook.md) owns the full safety contract.\n\nRun typecheck once after a fresh clone:\n\n```sh\npnpm run typecheck\n```\n\nThat first typecheck runs the whole-repo `tsc -b` graph: it emits every package/vendor `lib/types` and checks examples, tests, and scripts through the two no-emit aggregates described below.\n\n## TypeScript project layout\n\nThe repository's TypeScript configuration has exactly three roles; every tsconfig file plays one of them.\n\n| File | Role | Forms a program? |\n|---|---|---|\n| `tsconfig.json` | Solution root: `extends` base, `files: []`, references to the two aggregates. The whole-repo `tsc -b tsconfig.json` graph, the tsserver discovery entry, and — through the inherited `paths` — the resolution config for tsx running `examples/` and `scripts/` (their nearest tsconfig is this file). | No |\n| `tsconfig.host.json` | Host aggregate: host-side packages (via references), examples, tests, scripts, website. Excludes `packages/client`. | Yes |\n| `tsconfig.client.json` | Client aggregate: `packages/client/*` packages and their tests, `apps/web`. | Yes |\n| `tsconfig.base.json` | Shared compilerOptions and the source `paths` map. Also the resolution facade the vitest configs point vite-tsconfig-paths at: it has no `include`, so its `paths` apply to every importer. | No |\n| `tsconfig.base.client.json` | Browser compiler shape (`jsx`, DOM libs, `types: []`) extended by the client aggregate and every `packages/client/*` package. | No |\n\nHost and client stay two aggregate programs because both sides declaration-merge the cordis `Context` interface under the same keys with different services; one program seeing both merges reports a collision. The collision exists only inside a `ts.Program` — module resolution never triggers it — which is why the solution may reference both aggregates and one paths facade may span both sides. Two disciplines follow:\n\n- `tsconfig.base.json` never gains `include` or `files`: they would leak into every extending package project and narrow the facade's match-all scope.\n- A script that builds a repo-wide `ts.Program` seeds `tsconfig.host.json` or `tsconfig.client.json` explicitly — never the root solution, because flattening both aggregates into one program collides the `Context` merges. Program-backed generators and gates (`scripts/ts-project.ts` consumers, doc-typecheck standalone mode) are host-only by decision; the client side gains program-backed tooling only with a concrete need.\n\nStatic analysis and tests resolve workspace imports through the base `paths` map to `src` and must pass on a clean tree; gates that consume built `lib/` output declare that dependency explicitly. Decision record: [solution-root note](../.agents/notes/implemented/process/2026-07-22-tsconfig-solution-root-two-aggregates.md); the tsc-first emit pipeline is the [ts-build-config note](../.agents/notes/implemented/process/2026-06-17-ts-build-config.md).\n\nIf a relevant local check consumes built package output, build once first:\n\n```sh\npnpm run build\n```\n\n`pnpm run hygiene` includes `publint`, which validates package entrypoints against the built `lib/*.js` files, and `verify-node-next-types`, which validates built declarations against a temporary NodeNext consumer. A fresh worktree has no bundled JS or declarations until `pnpm run build` runs; ordinary commits and pushes do not require that build unless their selected checks consume it.\n\n## Environment variables\n\nThe real DeepSeek adapter and key-backed agent demos read credentials from the environment or from a gitignored `.env` at the repo root:\n\n```sh\nDEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-...\nDEEPSEEK_BASE_URL=https://... # optional\n```\n\n`DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL` is optional and defaults to the public API. Never commit real credentials. The real-API e2e suites self-skip when `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` is not set.\n\n## Git hooks\n\nlefthook is configured in `lefthook.yml` as a fast local checkpoint:\n\n- `pre-commit` applies formatting-only ESLint fixes, validates the staged files with Oxlint and applies its native fixes, checks the staged diff for whitespace errors, and runs the vendor manifest guard.\n- `pre-push` runs only the incremental repository typecheck (`tsc -b` over the root solution, covering both the host and client aggregates).\n\nThe vendor manifest guard checks that changes under `vendor/*/src` are staged with the matching `vendor/README.md` manifest update. See `vendor/README.md` before editing vendored code.\n\nThe hooks intentionally do not run tests, snapshots, documentation checks, builds, or hygiene. Contributors run the [checks relevant to the changed behavior](../AGENTS.md#run-relevant-checks-locally) once; CI owns exhaustive coverage, built-artifact smokes, and the Node 22.19, 24, and 26 compatibility matrix.\n\nContributors can opt into the comprehensive local gate set with `pnpm run check:all`. The command is independent of both Git hooks and is not an agent instruction.\n\n## CI gates\n\nThe keyless [CI workflow](../.github/workflows/ci.yml) groups independent gates into broad lanes and runs a smaller compatibility signal across supported Node versions. Artifact consumers wait for one build within their lane. The separate real-API workflow runs `pnpm run test:e2e` with its configured worker bound. See [scripts/run-gates.ts](../scripts/run-gates.ts) and the workflow files for the current gate and job inventory.\n\n## Daily commands\n\nUse these from the repo root:\n\n```sh\npnpm run test           # unit tests\npnpm run test:coverage  # unit tests with per-file coverage gates\npnpm run test:e2e       # real-API tests; self-skips without DEEPSEEK_API_KEY\npnpm run check:all      # comprehensive opt-in gate set; not wired to Git hooks\npnpm run typecheck      # tsc -b over the root solution: emits package/vendor lib/types, checks both aggregates\npnpm run lint           # oxlint .\npnpm run lint:fix       # formatting-only ESLint, then oxlint . --fix\npnpm run doc-typecheck  # compile checked TypeScript snippets in Markdown docs\npnpm run gen-cordis-catalog     # regenerate docs/cordis-catalog/events.md + services.md from source\npnpm run verify-cordis-catalog  # fail if either cordis catalog is stale\npnpm run verify-export-jsdoc    # fail if a module-level package export lacks complete JSDoc\npnpm run gen-doc-graphs     # regenerate generated relationship docs from source and curated graph definitions\npnpm run verify-doc-graphs  # fail if generated relationship docs are stale\npnpm run verify-md-wrap  # fail on hard-wrapped prose paragraphs in docs/README markdown\npnpm run verify-mermaid  # fail if a ```mermaid diagram has invalid Mermaid syntax\npnpm run verify-type-equiv  # fail if a ```ts type-equiv doc block drifts from its source type\npnpm run verify-doc-budgets  # fail if a budgeted standing doc exceeds its word ceiling\npnpm run gen-translation-brief   # print the minimal-update briefing for out-of-sync translation pairs (--apply splices code-only edits)\npnpm run doc-sync       # all Markdown/doc gates, scheduled concurrently; the doc-sync leaf list in scripts/run-gates.ts is the full list\npnpm run gen-module-graph     # regenerate docs/module-graph.md from package peerDeps\npnpm run verify-module-graph  # fail if docs/module-graph.md is stale\npnpm run build          # emit lib/types intermediates, then bundle lib/index.* runtime files\npnpm run verify-node-next-types  # fail if built declarations are not NodeNext-consumable\npnpm run hygiene        # knip, publint, workspace constraints, and NodeNext declaration check\n```\n\nWhen changing package public behavior, update the relevant README or JSDoc in the same change. `pnpm run doc-sync` catches checked TypeScript snippets, generated doc freshness, markdown wrap/link drift, type equivalence, translation pairing, Mermaid syntax, and doc budgets, but broader prose/API sync still needs review.\n\n## Demos\n\nThe one-shot Headless coding agent needs `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` in the environment or repo-root `.env`:\n\n```sh\npnpm run demo:headless \"summarize this workspace\"\n```\n\nThe full-screen interactive coding agent needs `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` in the environment or repo-root `.env`:\n\n```sh\npnpm run demo:tui\n```\n\nThe self-referential cordis-agent demo can inspect and modify its live plugin runtime and needs the same credentials:\n\n```sh\npnpm run demo:cordis\n```\n\nThe ACP automation server exposes fresh agent sessions over JSON-RPC stdio and also needs `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY`:\n\n```sh\npnpm run demo:acp\n```\n\n## TODO markers\n\nUse one of three comment tags to flag known issues in the code, ordered by urgency:\n\n- `FIXME` — an issue that should block a new release. A release should not ship with an open `FIXME` unless reviewers explicitly agree the change can be merged anyway.\n- `TODO` — an issue that should be fixed soon, once we have the resources.\n- `XXX` — an issue that we may fix someday; lowest priority, no commitment.\n\nPick the tag that matches the urgency so anyone scanning the code can tell a release blocker from a someday-maybe.\n\n## Documenting types verbatim (`ts type-equiv`)\n\nThe [core data structures](core-data-structures/core.md) docs paste source-equivalent declarations together with their original JSDoc so a reader sees the exact shape and source contract. To keep a paste from drifting when source changes, fence it as ` ```ts type-equiv ` (instead of ` ```ts `) and register it in `scripts/type-equiv.manifest.json` with the source file and symbol it mirrors:\n\n```json\n{ \"doc\": \"docs/core-data-structures/session.md\", \"symbol\": \"SessionEvent\", \"source\": \"packages/core/session/src/types.ts\" }\n```\n\n`pnpm run verify-type-equiv` (part of `doc-sync`) then extracts that symbol's declaration and attached JSDoc from source via the TypeScript parser and asserts the block matches both. For a class whose implementation bodies do not belong in the catalog, use ` ```ts public-api ` and set `\"projection\": \"public-api\"`; the checked projection retains the public fields, constructor, accessors, methods, and original class/member JSDoc while omitting bodies and private or protected members. Comparison ignores whitespace and non-JSDoc comments but requires every original JSDoc comment, including member documentation, so readers see the source contract beside the exact shape. The gate enforces a 1:1 correspondence by document, symbol, and projection between primary blocks and manifest entries; a paired `.zh.md` block reuses its unsuffixed sibling's entry only when the whole tracked fence sequence is byte-identical and ordered identically. `doc-typecheck` applies the same derivative rule to compilable fences, while skipping both source-equivalence fence kinds from compilation and its opt-out ratio. When you change a documented declaration or its JSDoc, the gate fails until you update the paste; when you add or remove a primary block, update the manifest in the same change.\n\n## Architecture context\n\nRead `docs/architecture.md` before changing anything under `packages/`. The codebase is built around Cordis plugins, event-sourced sessions, typed service seams, and explicit extension points.\n"
+        "content": "# Development guide\n\nEnglish | [中文](development.zh.md)\n\nThis onboarding guide helps project contributors get started with the local environment, daily workflow, and CI flow; see the Agent Notes for design rationale and technical trade-offs.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\n- Node.js supports 22.19+ and 24+. CI covers 22.19, 24, and 26; see the [Node engine floor Agent Note](../.agents/notes/implemented/process/2026-07-06-node-engine-floor.md).\n- Corepack-enabled pnpm. The repo pins `pnpm@11.7.0` in `package.json`; run `corepack enable` if `pnpm --version` does not resolve through Corepack.\n- Git 2.26 or newer; hook setup enables Git's worktree-specific configuration extension.\n- Optional: a DeepSeek API key for the TUI, headless, and ACP automation demos and real-API e2e tests.\n\n## First-time setup\n\nInstall dependencies from the repo root:\n\n```sh\npnpm install\n```\n\nThe install also runs the root `postinstall` script, which installs lefthook from the repo dev dependency through `scripts/install-lefthook.mjs`. With `CI=true` or `GITHUB_ACTIONS=true`, the wrapper returns before Git discovery because automated jobs do not consume contributor hooks. Otherwise, it requires Git 2.26 or newer and gives the current worktree an explicit hook directory under its own Git directory; linked worktrees therefore use their own lefthook binary and configuration instead of rewriting common hooks. The first install enables Git's worktree-specific configuration extension and repository format 1; see the [worktree-local hooks Agent Note](../.agents/notes/implemented/process/2026-07-27-worktree-local-lefthook.md).\n\nIf hooks are missing because dependencies were restored from cache or `postinstall` was skipped, install them manually:\n\n```sh\nnode scripts/install-lefthook.mjs\n```\n\nThe wrapper refuses user-owned `core.hooksPath` values. An inherited system, global, or common-repository path requires `DSH_LEFTHOOK_ALLOW_HOOKS_PATH_OVERRIDE=1`. When Git seeds a new worktree with another registered worktree's marker-backed hook path, the wrapper replaces that copied value with the new worktree's own path; command-scoped and other worktree-scoped paths must be integrated or removed explicitly.\n\nBefore enabling worktree config, migrate direct `extensions.*` in a format-0 common config, direct `core.worktree` or `core.bare=true`, and any non-empty dormant `config.worktree`. The common config and every worktree config must be regular files, while the owned hook directory may contain only unaliased regular files.\n\nAfter moving a checkout, rerun the wrapper to relocate its owned path and regenerate hooks. For a stale or invalid installer lock, first confirm no installer is running, then remove the reported lock and retry. If installation and hook-path rollback both fail, inspect the reported worktree config before retrying. The [worktree-local hooks Agent Note](../.agents/notes/implemented/process/2026-07-27-worktree-local-lefthook.md) owns the full safety contract.\n\nRun typecheck once after a fresh clone:\n\n```sh\npnpm run typecheck\n```\n\nThat first typecheck runs the whole-repo `tsc -b` graph: it emits every package/vendor `lib/types` and checks examples, tests, and scripts through the two no-emit aggregates described below.\n\n## TypeScript project layout\n\nThe repository's TypeScript configuration has exactly three roles; every tsconfig file plays one of them.\n\n| File | Role | Forms a program? |\n|---|---|---|\n| `tsconfig.json` | Solution root: `extends` base, `files: []`, references to the two aggregates. The whole-repo `tsc -b tsconfig.json` graph, the tsserver discovery entry, and — through the inherited `paths` — the resolution config for tsx running `examples/` and `scripts/` (their nearest tsconfig is this file). | No |\n| `tsconfig.host.json` | Host aggregate: host-side packages (via references), examples, tests, scripts, website. Excludes `packages/client`. | Yes |\n| `tsconfig.client.json` | Client aggregate: `packages/client/*` packages and their tests, `apps/web`. | Yes |\n| `tsconfig.base.json` | Shared compilerOptions and the source `paths` map. Also the resolution facade the vitest configs point vite-tsconfig-paths at: it has no `include`, so its `paths` apply to every importer. | No |\n| `tsconfig.base.client.json` | Browser compiler shape (`jsx`, DOM libs, `types: []`) extended by the client aggregate and every `packages/client/*` package. | No |\n\nHost and client stay two aggregate programs because both sides declaration-merge the cordis `Context` interface under the same keys with different services; one program seeing both merges reports a collision. The collision exists only inside a `ts.Program` — module resolution never triggers it — which is why the solution may reference both aggregates and one paths facade may span both sides. Two disciplines follow:\n\n- `tsconfig.base.json` never gains `include` or `files`: they would leak into every extending package project and narrow the facade's match-all scope.\n- A script that builds a repo-wide `ts.Program` seeds `tsconfig.host.json` or `tsconfig.client.json` explicitly — never the root solution, because flattening both aggregates into one program collides the `Context` merges. Program-backed generators and gates (`scripts/ts-project.ts` consumers, doc-typecheck standalone mode) are host-only by decision; the client side gains program-backed tooling only with a concrete need.\n\nStatic analysis and tests resolve workspace imports through the base `paths` map to `src` and must pass on a clean tree; gates that consume built `lib/` output declare that dependency explicitly. Decision record: [solution-root note](../.agents/notes/implemented/process/2026-07-22-tsconfig-solution-root-two-aggregates.md); the tsc-first emit pipeline is the [ts-build-config note](../.agents/notes/implemented/process/2026-06-17-ts-build-config.md).\n\nIf a relevant local check consumes built package output, build once first:\n\n```sh\npnpm run build\n```\n\n`pnpm run hygiene` includes `publint`, which validates package entrypoints against the built `lib/*.js` files, and `verify-node-next-types`, which validates built declarations against a temporary NodeNext consumer. A fresh worktree has no bundled JS or declarations until `pnpm run build` runs; ordinary commits and pushes do not require that build unless their selected checks consume it.\n\n## Environment variables\n\nThe real DeepSeek adapter and key-backed agent demos read credentials from the environment or from a gitignored `.env` at the repo root:\n\n```sh\nDEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-...\nDEEPSEEK_BASE_URL=https://... # optional\n```\n\n`DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL` is optional and defaults to the public API. Never commit real credentials. The real-API e2e suites self-skip when `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` is not set.\n\n## Git hooks\n\nlefthook is configured in `lefthook.yml` as a fast local checkpoint:\n\n- `pre-commit` applies formatting-only ESLint fixes, validates the staged files with Oxlint and applies its native fixes, checks the staged diff for whitespace errors, and runs the vendor manifest guard.\n- `pre-push` runs only the incremental repository typecheck (`tsc -b` over the root solution, covering both the host and client aggregates).\n\nThe vendor manifest guard checks that changes under `vendor/*/src` are staged with the matching `vendor/README.md` manifest update. See `vendor/README.md` before editing vendored code.\n\nThe hooks intentionally do not run tests, snapshots, documentation checks, builds, or hygiene. Contributors run the [checks relevant to the changed behavior](../AGENTS.md#run-relevant-checks-locally) once; CI owns exhaustive coverage, built-artifact smokes, and the Node 22.19, 24, and 26 compatibility matrix.\n\nContributors can opt into the comprehensive local gate set with `pnpm run check:all`. The command is independent of both Git hooks and is not an agent instruction.\n\n## CI gates\n\nThe keyless [CI workflow](../.github/workflows/ci.yml) groups independent gates into broad lanes and runs a smaller compatibility signal across supported Node versions. Artifact consumers wait for one build within their lane. The separate real-API workflow runs `pnpm run test:e2e` with its configured worker bound. See [scripts/run-gates.ts](../scripts/run-gates.ts) and the workflow files for the current gate and job inventory.\n\n## Daily commands\n\nUse these from the repo root:\n\n```sh\npnpm run test           # unit tests\npnpm run test:coverage  # unit tests with per-file coverage gates\npnpm run test:e2e       # real-API tests; self-skips without DEEPSEEK_API_KEY\npnpm run check:all      # comprehensive opt-in gate set; not wired to Git hooks\npnpm run typecheck      # tsc -b over the root solution: emits package/vendor lib/types, checks both aggregates\npnpm run lint           # oxlint .\npnpm run lint:fix       # formatting-only ESLint, then oxlint . --fix\npnpm run doc-typecheck  # compile checked TypeScript snippets in Markdown docs\npnpm run gen-cordis-catalog     # regenerate docs/cordis-catalog/events.md + services.md from source\npnpm run verify-cordis-catalog  # fail if either cordis catalog is stale\npnpm run verify-export-jsdoc    # fail if a module-level package export lacks complete JSDoc\npnpm run gen-doc-graphs     # regenerate generated relationship docs from source and curated graph definitions\npnpm run verify-doc-graphs  # fail if generated relationship docs are stale\npnpm run verify-md-wrap  # fail on hard-wrapped prose paragraphs in docs/README markdown\npnpm run verify-mermaid  # fail if a ```mermaid diagram has invalid Mermaid syntax\npnpm run verify-type-equiv  # fail if a ```ts type-equiv doc block drifts from its source type\npnpm run verify-doc-budgets  # fail if a budgeted standing doc exceeds its word ceiling\npnpm run gen-translation-brief   # print the minimal-update briefing for out-of-sync translation pairs (--apply splices code-only edits)\npnpm run doc-sync       # all Markdown/doc gates, scheduled concurrently; the doc-sync leaf list in scripts/run-gates.ts is the full list\npnpm run gen-module-graph     # regenerate docs/module-graph.md from package peerDeps\npnpm run verify-module-graph  # fail if docs/module-graph.md is stale\npnpm run build          # emit lib/types intermediates, then bundle lib/index.* runtime files\npnpm run verify-node-next-types  # fail if built declarations are not NodeNext-consumable\npnpm run hygiene        # knip, publint, workspace constraints, and NodeNext declaration check\n```\n\nWhen changing package public behavior, update the relevant README or JSDoc in the same change. `pnpm run doc-sync` catches checked TypeScript snippets, generated doc freshness, markdown wrap/link drift, type equivalence, translation pairing, Mermaid syntax, and doc budgets, but broader prose/API sync still needs review.\n\n## Demos\n\nThe one-shot Headless coding agent needs `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` in the environment or repo-root `.env`:\n\n```sh\npnpm run demo:headless \"summarize this workspace\"\n```\n\nThe full-screen interactive coding agent needs `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` in the environment or repo-root `.env`:\n\n```sh\npnpm run demo:tui\n```\n\nThe self-referential cordis demo can inspect and modify its live plugin runtime and needs the same credentials (`web` by default, or `acp`):\n\n```sh\npnpm run demo:cordis\n```\n\nThe ACP automation server exposes fresh agent sessions over JSON-RPC stdio and also needs `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY`:\n\n```sh\npnpm run demo:acp\n```\n\n## TODO markers\n\nUse one of three comment tags to flag known issues in the code, ordered by urgency:\n\n- `FIXME` — an issue that should block a new release.

optional\n```\n\n`DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL` 可选，默认为公开 API。请勿提交真实凭证。未设置 `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` 时，真实 API 的 e2e 套件会自动跳过。\n\n## Git 钩子\n\nlefthook 在 `lefthook.yml` 中配置，作为快速的本地检查点：\n\n- `pre-commit` 应用仅用于格式化的 ESLint 修复，使用 Oxlint 验证暂存文件并应用其原生修复，然后检查暂存 diff 中的空白错误，并运行 vendor manifest（元数据清单）守卫；\n- `pre-push` 只运行仓库增量类型检查（对根 solution 执行 `tsc -b`，覆盖 host 与 client 两个聚合）。\n\nvendor manifest 守卫检查 `vendor/*/src` 下的改动是否连同对应的 `vendor/README.md` manifest 更新一起暂存。请在编辑 vendor 代码前先阅读 `vendor/README.md`。\n\n这些钩子有意不运行测试、快照、文档检查、构建或 `hygiene`。贡献者只运行一次[与改动行为相关的检查](../AGENTS.md#run-relevant-checks-locally)；CI 负责全量覆盖率门禁、构建产物冒烟测试，以及 Node 22.19、24 和 26 兼容性矩阵。\n\n贡献者可以选择运行 `pnpm run check:all`，执行全面的本地门禁集。该命令独立于两个 Git 钩子，也不是对 agent 的指令。\n\n## CI 门禁\n\nkeyless [CI 工作流](../.github/workflows/ci.yml) 将独立门禁分组到若干宽粒度 lane，并在受支持的 Node 版本上运行一组较小的兼容性检查。产物消费方在各自 lane 内等待一次 build。单独的真实 API 工作流按其配置的 worker 上限运行 `pnpm run test:e2e`。当前门禁和 job 清单以 [scripts/run-gates.ts](../scripts/run-gates.ts) 和工作流文件为准。\n\n## 日常命令\n\n在仓库根目录使用：\n\n```sh\npnpm run test           # unit tests\npnpm run test:coverage  # unit tests with per-file coverage gates\npnpm run test:e2e       # real-API tests; self-skips without DEEPSEEK_API_KEY\npnpm run check:all      # comprehensive opt-in gate set; not wired to Git hooks\npnpm run typecheck      #

knip, publint, workspace constraints, and NodeNext declaration check\n```\n\n修改 package 的公开行为时，请在同一个变更中更新相关 README 或 JSDoc。`pnpm run doc-sync` 能检测到被检查的 TypeScript 片段、生成文档的新鲜度、Markdown 换行/链接漂移、type-equiv、翻译配对、Mermaid 语法和文档预算，但更广泛的行文/API 同步仍需评审把关。\n\n## 演示\n\n单次运行的 Headless coding agent 需要环境变量或仓库根目录 `.env` 中的 `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY`：\n\n```sh\npnpm run demo:headless \"summarize this workspace\"\n```\n\n全屏交互式 coding agent 需要环境变量或仓库根目录 `.env` 中的 `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY`：\n\n```sh\npnpm run demo:tui\n```\n\n自指的 cordis-agent 演示可以检查并修改其实时插件运行时，并需要相同的凭证：\n\n```sh\npnpm run demo:cordis\n```\n\nACP 自动化服务器通过 JSON-RPC stdio 提供全新 agent 会话，同样需要 `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY`：\n\n```sh\npnpm run demo:acp\n```\n\n## TODO 标记\n\n请使用以下三种注释标签之一标记代码中的已知问题，按紧急程度排序：\n\n- `FIXME`：应当阻塞新版本发布的问题。除非评审者明确同意该更改可以合并，否则发布版本不应包含未解决的 `FIXME`；\n- `TODO`：应当尽快修复的问题，等资源到位即可处理；\n- `XXX`：也许某天会修复的问题，优先级最低，不作承诺。\n\n请选择与紧急程度匹配的标签，让浏览代码的人一眼分清「发布阻塞」和「有空再说」。\n\n## 逐字记录类型（`ts type-equiv`）\n\n[核心数据结构](core-data-structures/core.md)文档会把与源码等价的声明及其原始 JSDoc 一并粘贴，让读者看到确切形状和源码契约。为防止粘贴内容在源码变化时漂移，请将其围栏为 ` ```ts type-equiv `（而不是 ` ```ts `），并在 `scripts/type-equiv.manifest.json` 中登记它镜像的源文件和符号：\n\n```json\n{ \"doc\": \"docs/core-data-structures/session.md\", \"symbol\": \"SessionEvent\", \"source\": \"packages/core/session/src/types.ts\" }\n```\n\n`pnpm run verify-type-equiv`（`doc-sync` 的一环）随后通过 TypeScript 解析器从源码提取该符号的声明及其附带的 JSDoc，并断言代码块同时匹配两者。对于不应把实现体写进目录的类，请使用 ` ```ts public-api ` 并设置 `\"projection\": \"public-api\"`；门禁检查的投影会保留公共字段、构造函数、访问器、方法以及类和成员的原始 JSDoc，同时省略实现体和私有或受保护成员。比对会忽略空白和非 JSDoc 注释，但要求保留每条原始 JSDoc（包括成员文档），让读者同时看到源码契约和确切形状。该门禁按文档、符号和投影，在主块与 manifest 条目之间强制 1:1 对应；只有当配对 `.zh.md` 块的完整受跟踪围栏序列与其无后缀兄弟文件按字节一致且顺序相同时，才会复用后者的条目。`doc-typecheck` 对可编译围栏应用同一派生规则，同时跳过两种源码等价围栏的编译，并将其排除在 opt-out 比例之外。当你改动一个已记录的类型声明或其 JSDoc 时，门禁会失败直到你更新粘贴内容；当你增删一个主块时，请在同一个变更里更新 manifest。\n\n## 架构上下文\n\n在修改 `packages/` 目录下的任何内容之前，请先阅读 `docs/architecture.md`。这套代码围绕 Cordis 插件、事件溯源的会话、类型化的服务 seam 与显式扩展点构建。\n"

@@ -37,7 +37,7 @@ Keep this log exhaustive — every divergence from upstream must be listed.
 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.
-8. **`include/src/index.ts` hot-reload hardening**: `refresh()` awaits the full read-and-update and catches failures (logging a warning and keeping the last good entry tree) instead of rethrowing — upstream's throw escaped `@cordisjs/plugin-hmr`'s async watcher callback as an unhandled rejection, so one bad `cordis.yml` edit killed a live app. `read()` rejects a non-array parse result (an empty or mid-write truncated file parses to `undefined`, which upstream later crashed on) and commits `content`/`data` only on success, so reverting an edit to the exact last good content reads as "unchanged". `refresh()` and the `internal/update` listener re-apply `config.patches` before `root.update()`, matching initial load; upstream applied patches only in `[Service.init]`, so any config hot-reload silently reverted overlay-patched entries and removed inserted ones. `applyPatches` deep-copies via `structuredClone` instead of mutating the cached parse (repeated application converges; removing a patch reverts), and the veto-style `internal/update` listener persists the incoming config itself (`Fiber.update` only assigns behind `next()`), so later re-reads use the new patches. `[Service.init]` falls back to `initial` only on `ENOENT`; an existing-but-invalid file fails loud with its real parse error instead of "config file not found" (or a silent overwrite). Covered by `packages/ui/app-boot/tests/config-reload.spec.ts`.

That matters because `dsh` composes one shared base (`apps/cli/config/base.cordis.yml`) with a surface overlay, an optional `--config` overlay, and the personal `~/.dsh/config.yaml` as sibling patch lists at one include level — patches never cross an include boundary, so surface-only rows would otherwise be unreachable from user config. Covered by `packages/ui/app-boot/tests/config-reload.spec.ts`.
 9. **Vendored Node-compatible TypeScript**: marked erased imports explicitly across `cordis`, `loader`, `include`, `hmr`, and `schemastery` so Node's native TypeScript transform does not request types as runtime exports. Schemastery's source uses an ESM default export and its package declares `type: module`; its built ESM/CJS entries retain explicit `.mjs`/`.cjs` extensions.
