One list call now materializes at most maxEntries child rows (config,
default 1000 - GitHub's web-UI directory-listing bound). Candidates sort
before probing so a cut level keeps the name-sorted head and symlink
probing stops with the bound, and DirectoryListing carries a required
truncated flag on the seam and the wire so clients can state
incompleteness instead of silently missing tail entries.
Review finding (PR #791): the column carried bare values (no seq), so the
client could not seed its value store without risking a stale list block
outranking newer push frames — and nothing consumed the column at all,
leaving cold titles absent after a restart. SessionSummary.projections is
now the same SessionProjectionsBlock as the history tail (values +
asOfSeq; attached rows cut the live registry, cold rows serve the cache's
identity-checked cachedSnapshot whose asOfSeq is the lowest served-row
watermark). SessionManager.refreshList seeds each row's block into the
per-session projection store via per-key apply — partial-baseline
semantics: an absent key never clears, and higher-seq-wins keeps stale
list blocks beneath push frames and tail baselines — so cold titles
surface in the sidebar without opening a session.
SessionSummary grows an optional projections column (whole value per key,
same passthrough posture as the history-tail block): attached rows cut the
live registry watermark cache; cold rows view the persisted projection
cache's stored rows via the new registry viewCheckpoint face (version-
matching keys only, zero I/O) — the RFC's motivating scenario, every
session's title across a listing without loading one event log. The column
is fail-soft and absence-coded: no registry, no cache row, or a throwing
read serve the row without the column, never breaking the listing.
ui-workspace's two trigger surfaces each declare a single-kind directory-flow
hole (conversation.hero.workspace.directoryFlow / sidebar.workspaces.directoryFlow,
same owner contract) and keep only the trigger and the adoption: the Open-local-
folder entry renders while the surface's hole is occupied, and the occupant
reports one picked path per open through the hole's owner conversation
(open/busy/onPicked/onCancel/onError).
directory-picker-native becomes dual-face: its browser half fills both holes
with a renderless occupant driving host.pickDirectory, so the cordis.yml row
that mounts the backend also composes the client interaction — a mismatch is
impossible and a second flow package fails at client load.
With composition wiring both sides, the host.describe.directoryPicker
advertisement and the client's kind branching lose their last consumer:
the field, WorkspacesService.directoryPickerKind(), the DirectoryPickerKind
wire type, and the picker's per-open describe read are deleted. The connection
fixture now serves a deterministic pickDirectory path so the keyless snapshot
drives the full pick-then-adopt flow. ui-workspace's hand-rolled declaration
deferral is replaced by the deferRegistration helper it duplicated.
master's toolcall-open extracted runNativeCommand inside apiproxy for the
openPath opener while the picker seam had moved the native chooser (its other
consumer) into directory-picker-native; after the merge the two packages each
carried a verbatim copy. The runner now lives in packages/util/native-command
(zero-dependency library, per the util-group contract) and both native
integrations depend on it.
The browse interaction also presents a dialog (the in-app modal), so 'dialog'
failed to discriminate the two capability kinds; 'native' names where the
chooser runs. Package directory-picker-dialog -> directory-picker-native, kind
'dialog' -> 'native', with every seam/gateway/client/doc reference updated and
the seam Agent Note's naming rationale rewritten to match.
ds-review-bot round 1: the seam documented a merge-extensible union but
shipped a closed alias, and the gateway schema rejected any kind beyond
dialog/browse — a third backend could neither implement the seam nor be
advertised. The union now derives from an augmentable DirectoryPickerCapabilities
map, host.describe.directoryPicker preserves unknown wire kinds, and the
browse fixture applies listDirectory's root special case so creating under
'/' no longer mints a '//name' identity.
The full-suite coverage gate found the new listDirectory/createDirectory
client methods and handler routes unexecuted: the implementation and
schema layers were tested directly, but nothing crossed the wire form.
One round trip through InProcessApiClient covers both arrows on each
side.
The web GUI's folder picking was hardwired to one interaction: a native
OS chooser compiled into the gateway, unusable for remote deployments
and swappable only by editing apiproxy source.
Directory picking becomes a three-package capability seam in
packages/host: ctx.directoryPicker returns a discriminated capability —
dialog (the extracted native chooser; host-display only) or browse
(new: one-level listing + child creation over Node stdlib, hidden flags
host-stamped, symlinks followed, ancestry crumbs; remote-capable). The
gateway injects the seam, advertises the kind via
host.describe.directoryPicker, serves host.listDirectory /
host.createDirectory under browse, and answers
directory-picker-unavailable across kinds. cordis.yml is the swap
point; apps/cli keeps dialog mounted, so behavior is unchanged until
the in-app browser PR flips the default. The connection fixture serves
a deterministic browse tree; WorkspacesService gains the browse calls
the browser UI will drive. Decision record:
.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-28-directory-picker-capability-seam.md
The only browser-trust guard covered host.pickDirectory, while the
consequential methods (session.prompt drives bash) accepted any Host —
open to DNS rebinding, where a rebound page reads and writes the API as
if same-origin and only the Host header betrays the attacker's domain.
The pickDirectory-specific loopback guard becomes a prefix-wide fence:
Host must be loopback or an exact host[:port] from the new trustedHosts
config, an attached Origin must equal that authority, and explicit
cross-site markers are refused; requests without browser markers (curl,
tests, native clients) pass, because without a browser there is no
confused deputy. The loopback-socket check is dropped — binding policy
expresses reachability, and the fence is not an auth layer. The Agent
Note records the full threat model and the alternatives.
Browsers send "simple" POSTs (text/plain, form encodings) without a CORS
preflight, so a malicious page could execute side-effectful RPCs blind —
the response stays unreadable cross-origin, but session.prompt would
still run. The carrier now answers 415 unless the declared media type is
application/json, forcing every cross-site attempt into a preflight this
server never answers. Raw-fetch specs gain the header; a new handler case
proves the fence rejects before the impl runs.
Lint: eslint --fix over the merge-crossed projection/command files (arrow
parens, trailing commas, unnecessary assertions), Extract<> replaces the
keyof-map & string intersections no-redundant-type-constituents rejects,
the fold-adapter's merge loop drops its non-null assertions for a
bounds-carrying cursor, one JSDoc line wrapped under max-len (api-catalog
regenerated). Snapshots: the four TUI goldens re-recorded for the merged
event-count shift (the durable command lifecycle adds one event to the
seeded diagnostics log). The headless advanced-toolchain snapshot passes
on CI and fails locally in this sandbox both with and without these
changes (30s child timeout — environment-bound, tracked in the ledger).
The master merge left the generated catalogs/module graph stale, the
python runtime closure missing dsh-session-projection (now reached
through session-title and tool-todo), and apiproxy holding a dead
session-title dependency (the bespoke title frame is retired). The four
files the merge pushed under the per-file coverage floor (commands
executor + invariant, projection registry drive tails, TUI) join the
existing TODO(gui) deferral block per the GUI-lane policy; the remaining
coverage-run failures reproduce identically on pure origin/master
(environment-bound suites: sdk process exit, TUI PTY timing, workflow
worker timing, title loader slow-boot) and are not this branch's debt.
The master merge brought the session.models/selectModel contract paragraph
and re-introduced the todos-rider description this branch had retired;
session-level projections ride the generic projections block. Chinese side
synced, pairing re-recorded.
commandId crosses three boundaries (session log, wire admission response,
client flow pairing), so per the branded-id rule it becomes
Branded<'CommandId'>, declared in a new pure @deepseek-ai/dsh-commands/brand
outlet (the dsh-llm/brand shape: type + constructor, no Context merges, so
wire and client programs can name it without loading the host plugin). The
event payloads, CommandExecution, and the executor mint carry the brand; the
wire schema gains commandIdSchema as the domain's single brand-cast point
(the approvals precedent); CommandNode and the fixture's fabrication cast
follow type-only.
New zh pairs for the session-projection group and package READMEs (both
gained their missing language-switcher lines); the packages/README rows,
apiproxy README, and tool-todo README zh sides catch up with their edited
English; the group README's stale ProjectionProvider name becomes
ProjectionDefinition. RFC precision from review: asOfSeq is the last
event's seq (session.seq - 1, -1 empty; subscribed.lastSeq vocabulary) and
a new risk names the accepted dev-only staleness window when registry
churn changes the key set mid-session. Pairing re-recorded; 540 pairs
consistent.
CommandService.execute now returns a CommandExecution — the normalized
result plus the commandId minted for its command/run/command/done records —
and the wire admission value carries commandId exactly when matched, so the
issuing client can correlate its RPC acknowledgment with the flow node the
lifecycle events produce. apiproxy api/schema/handler, the connection
fixture, and the TUI/plan/goal consumers follow the new shape.
The line field is deleted (pre-release, no shim): name and args are
parseCommand's own split — name plus verbatim rawInput with its separator
whitespace — so a consumer (a projection unit folding its own command
records, a rich command card) never re-parses a line. CommandNode mirrors
the split (name/args, both null on a run-less cross-window node); the
generic card rebuilds its display line as /name + args. The connection
fixture logs the same structured payload.
The wire response now carries only the matched bit — CommandExecuteResult
is deleted from the api, schema, and client mirrors (pre-release, no shim);
outcomes ride the durably logged command/run/command/done pair broadcast on
the mux stream and render as flow nodes. ui-command's runDetached→noticeFor
outcome routing is retired: admitted commands surface nothing through the
composer, while admission misses (matched:false, syntax feedback) and
transport failures keep their immediate notice. The connection fixture
mirrors the host: an admitted command appends the lifecycle pair to the
session log instead of returning result text.
