The agent-scope-contexts RFC (implemented) records the decision tree:
the dsh-scope primitive over cordis extend/Context.filter/no-op fibers,
two-level flat scope with shadowing, restriction/grant semantics, the
scoped-dispatch rule with fused helpers, the setup window, and the
alternatives (explicit scope params, isolate, event-filtering-only,
vendored support) with why each lost. CONTEXT.md pins the glossary.
architecture.md gains the Agent Scope section, the dsh-scope spine row,
the scoped turn-flow line, and an extension-table row (ceiling 1640→1790:
the two-layer registration model is a new architectural axis; additions
are condensed to pointers). READMEs of every touched package re-state
their scoped facts; the stale structured-runtime README section is
replaced by the scoped-registration description.
The seam's structured-clone boundary admits values JSON does not (BigInt,
Map, circulars), while tool/code-dispatch events must be JSON-appendable —
left unhandled, a sub-call could execute and then fail at logging time.
The bridge now JSON-normalizes binding arguments BEFORE dispatch (a value
that does not survive rejects that one call), so the dispatched form and
the logged form are the same JSON value by construction.
A client-callback throw only becomes a JSON-RPC error RESPONSE to the
agent's session/request_permission — runScenario itself kept going, so a
tolerant agent could treat the error as a denial and the scenario would
pass, or worse, record: the impossible click baked into fixture and
golden, green on every replay. The mismatch is now captured as a harness
error while the agent is answered plain cancelled (a well-defined path
it cannot reinterpret), and the step loop rejects the run on it as soon
as the in-flight step settles. The spec asserts the rejection instead of
the agent-side error echo.
The package, coverage, and permission scripting all shipped on this
branch, so the RFC moves to implemented/ with the lifecycle rewrite:
Proposal becomes a present-tense Decision, Acceptance criteria and Risks
fold into Testing/Consequences with what actually pinned each one (the
zero-byte extraction parity, the 100% per-file coverage via the fake
bin, the vitest-in-src caveat, the per-suite pin cost).
The snapshot tier's machinery leaves examples/acp-agent/tests for
packages/support/acp-snapshot (@deepseek-ai/dsh-acp-snapshot), where the
coverage gate measures it and a second example can consume it instead of
forking it: harness.ts (runScenario, parameterized by an AgentUnderTest
{binScript, configPath, tsconfigPath} instead of module constants),
normalize.ts (moved verbatim), and suite.ts (defineAcpSnapshotSuite — the
per-scenario golden/log compares, record write-back, per-suite header pin
with its uniformity guard, and the fixture guard block, lifted from
acp.snapshot.ts). The example file collapses to its scenario table plus
one factory call; env reading (DSH_SNAPSHOT) stays at that edge.
The exactly-one-pin meta-test generalizes from the hardcoded text-turn
name to "exactly one per suite" — which scenario pins is the scenario
table's reviewable choice (per-suite pinning per the proposal RFC).
Extraction parity: pnpm run test:snapshot is 36 passed + fs-policy-reject
failing BEFORE AND AFTER (BSD-sed environment failure, reproduced at the
base commit in a clean worktree — the recorded golden's sed -i syntax is
GNU-only), with zero byte changes under examples/acp-agent/tests/snapshots/.
Coverage for the new src files lands in the next commit.
The harness, normalizers, and suite/guard logic live inside
examples/acp-agent/tests, outside the coverage gate and copyable-only
for a second suite. Propose @deepseek-ai/dsh-acp-snapshot under
packages/support: parameterized runScenario, verbatim normalizers, a
defineAcpSnapshotSuite factory with per-suite header pinning, and
scripted permissionAnswers so an approval round-trip is expressible at
the snapshot tier — the sandbox composition is the immediate consumer.
New group packages/code-runtime/ with the interface package
@deepseek-ai/dsh-code-runtime, per the Code Mode RFC: abstract CodeRuntime
service (run() resolves program failures as an error field, rejects only
for seam misuse), the CodeRunRequest/CodeBindingNamespace/CodeRunResult/
CodeLogEntry/CodeRunFailure vocabulary, and readonly language/isolation
backend descriptors. Registered in the tsconfig maps, packages/README,
architecture service map, and the doc-graph service-role classification;
catalogs regenerated.
The RFC's one forward path token to the worker package becomes an npm-name
mention until PR3 creates that directory (verify-package-paths is
drift-scoped: the now-existing group made the token checkable).
docs/architecture.md ceiling 1630 -> 1640: the doc gained a genuinely new
capability-service row; the row itself is already minimal.
Budget expiry terminated the worker but nothing cancelled an in-flight
host-side sub-dispatch, and a late dispatch could append events after
run_code returned. The bridge now owns a run-scoped AbortController
(follows exec.signal; fired on any run settlement), sub-dispatches get
the run signal, and run_code returns only after the dispatch queue
drains — no post-settlement appends, per dispose-to-quiescence.
(A1) Scope the wire-collapse guarantee honestly: systemPrompt.tools() is
a public multi-provider API, so the mode governs the registry's
contribution (the only shipped source); deliberate extra providers own
what they add, and the shipped-configuration invariant is test-pinned.
(A2) Replace pause-on-pending-RPC timeout with two independent budgets:
computeMs metered by worker.performance.eventLoopUtilization() busy time
(unfoolable by an un-awaited decoy dispatch; probe-verified) plus a
never-pausing maxWallMs ceiling.
(A3) Specify sub-call additionalContext as deliberately suppressed in
the MVP (immediate inject would break call/result adjacency; the plural
channel is named follow-up work).
(B) Orphan-process caveat vs bash-local's group kill; null-prototype
binding namespaces (__proto__/constructor names); per-PR doc artifacts
(packages/README row, architecture service map in PR2, config/tool/
persistence catalogs per owning PR); engines range corrected to
^22.19.0 || >=24.0.0.
Research finding: a SessionEventMap member is a log event — JSDoc prose
required, @mode is a hard error there, and docs/persistence-catalog.md
must be regenerated (todo/write is the log-only precedent). PR4's plan
now names both.
Own adversarial pass finding: a static inject on the registry would gate
ctx.tools (and every tool plugin) on a code runtime existing even under
mode 'native'. The RFC now names the sanctioned pattern: soft
ctx.get('codeRuntime') at use time (the agent-loop sessionPersistence
precedent) with absence failing loud in the provider thunk.
Supersedes the add-on-plugin + node:vm-stub draft in place (still proposed/):
code mode becomes a first-class ToolRegistry presentation mode
('native' | 'code' | 'both'), execution goes behind a new ctx.codeRuntime
capability seam whose shipped backend is one fresh Node worker thread per
run (type-strip, empty env, resource limits, hard terminate), at
bash-equivalent trust with no unsafe-flag ceremony. Renames the file to
2026-06-15-code-mode.md and regenerates the RFC index.
Review follow-up (#196): a listed name with no registered tool was silently
ignored; misconfiguration must block work instead. The check lives in the
assembly — the earliest moment the registered tool set exists (tool plugins
register after the service constructs) and the only universal one (cordis has
no "all plugins loaded" event; registrations change at any time). assemble()
is now async so the throw surfaces as a rejection rather than a synchronous
escape from a Promise-returning method.
Blast radius, pinned by a loop-level test: the rejection reaches the turn's
outer catch — the turn closes balanced with an `error` reason, agent/error
mirrors it, no step opens, no request/header is logged, no request reaches
the adapter, and the agent returns to idle; every turn fails identically
until the config is fixed. A boot-time validation pass was considered and
rejected (recorded in the RFC). The general principle — misconfiguration
fails loud, never a silent skip — is added to AGENTS.md.
A three-dot rest entry reads as elision in a cordis.yml; the spelled-out
sentinel says what lands there. The literal now appears once in code (the
constant) and once in the value-pinning test; every other reference — the
forwarding tests included — imports TOOL_ORDER_REST, which adds the
dsh-system-prompt devDependency to the two app packages.
Review follow-up on #196.
- run-gates.ts docSyncLeafGates() gains verify-export-jsdoc — CI lanes
and the pre-push hook execute this leaf list, not the doc-sync npm
script, so the gate was previously unenforced there (proven by
SessionForkErrorCode landing undocumented via a master merge while
checks stayed green; now documented). Same wiring gap fixed for
master's verify-config-catalog, which was also missing from the list.
- The heritage exemption now recovers the base's return surface: a void
base return carried no @returns duty, so an override returning a
concrete result documents it itself (annotated overrides run the
standard check; unannotated ones are classified by the checker so
faithful void overrides need no boilerplate annotation). Three new
negative-path tests pin it; RFC and module doc updated.
- AGENTS.md states each principle inline instead of citing RFCs (eight
citations removed; high-level doc links kept) and the editing section
now carries the self-containedness rule.
- Generated catalogs/graphs regenerated for the shifted line pointers.
Out-of-process delegation to external coding agents as two new subagent
seam backends, exposed as subagent_claude_code / subagent_codex tools.
Verified against @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk 0.3.202 and codex CLI
0.142.5 via keyless spikes; includes the dsh-subagent-process extraction
plan, isolation/permission stances, and tiered test coverage.
Residuals from the Codex re-review:
1. A system delta's insert was flattened to one token, so deltas differing
only in inserted-line count compared equal. Now one {{system}} token per
inserted line — position AND extent survive, content does not.
2. The live uniformity guard folded only request/header snapshots, so a
mid-run header CHANGE (request/header-delta) could diverge from the pin
invisibly. Non-pinning runs now assert zero header-delta events: a
scenario that legitimately changes its header mid-run exists to show
that change, so it must pin (fail-loud until it does).
Codex review findings on the pinned-header change:
1. scrubRequestHeaders flattened a request/header-delta's whole
system/tools payload to one token, so two meaningfully different deltas
compared equal. Now the structural facts survive — keepStart/keepEnd
line positions, added/removed/changed tool NAMES — and only the bulk
(inserted prompt lines, schema bodies) is tokenized.
2. The one-pin design rested on an unasserted premise (all sessions
compose the same header). Every non-pinning scenario now asserts, live,
that each request/header its run produces equals the pinned fixture's
header (both sides normalized against their own volatile values), so a
session-dependent header fails loud until it gets its own pin.
Verified the guard bites: perturbing the pinned fixture's prompt fails
a non-pinned scenario with the intended message.
3. RFC de-slopped per docs/AGENTS.md: no PR reference, no SHOULD
spec-speak; Decision/Verification/Consequences updated for 1 and 2.
Codex round-3: alias prose matches the gate's strength only when the
target's own contract is prose-only. An export-import alias to a
function, class, or namespace target (or an unresolvable one) is now
refused — those carry signature/member contracts the alias cannot
hold; export the declaration directly instead. Const/enum/interface/
type-alias targets keep the self-documentation contract.
Tests pin the refusal for function, class, and namespace targets;
module doc and RFC updated.
Codex round-2 review found three adjacent fail-open shapes:
- Wrapped function expressions escaped classification: parentheses,
as/satisfies casts, and non-null assertions are now peeled before the
arrow/function test (initializers and default exports), and a
single-call-signature type literal counts as the surface signature.
A literal mixing call/construct signatures with anything else is
refused outright — no single signature to hold the tags against.
- The blanket 'export import X = N.member' skip was unsound (the target
can be a non-exported namespace member no walk visits): an alias now
documents itself.
- The heritage extra-parameter duty missed binding-pattern extras,
which no base declaration can name: they now trigger the standard
binding-pattern violation.
Five new negative-path tests pin the closed shapes; module doc and RFC
updated.
Every session.jsonl fixture embedded the full composed system prompt and
complete tool-schema list in its request/header event (~8 KB on one line,
identical across the suite), so any prompt or tool-schema edit forced a
re-record or hand-edit of every fixture — see the dynamic-workflows PR for
the churn pattern this removes.
Now exactly one scenario (text-turn, flagged pinsHeader) commits and
compares that content verbatim; every other fixture stores and compares it
as {{system}}/{{tools}} tokens via the new pure scrubRequestHeaders
normalizer (applied to both compare sides and to record-mode writes, so a
re-record cannot reintroduce the content). request/header-delta payloads
are scrubbed the same way; config/reason stay verbatim — a model swap
SHOULD churn every fixture, a prompt edit should not. Replay is unaffected:
script derivation reads only assistant/chunk events.
Fixture meta-guards enforce the split: non-pinning fixtures must be fixed
points of the scrub, the pinning fixture must not be, and exactly one
scenario pins. Committed fixtures migrated through the same function.
Docs: pinned-header RFC (implemented/testing), base snapshot RFC + testing
policy + llm-replay module doc/README updated.
Codex round-1 review found three fail-open paths in the new gate:
- Unhandled export forms passed silently. checkDecl now fails CLOSED on
unrecognized exported statement kinds, 'export =' is refused outright,
'export import X = N.member' is an explicit documented skip (alias;
definition site owns the doc), and ambient 'declare namespace' bodies
recurse with implicit export semantics.
- Function-like exports escaped the function contract: non-identifier
default exports and consts with INLINE function-type annotations now
get full @param/@returns checks (the named-type waiver stays for
reference annotations only).
- The heritage exemption was name-only: it no longer exempts a public
override of a protected-only base member, and parameters the base
never names keep their @param duty (underscore-prefixed renames of a
base parameter count as the same parameter).
Eight new negative-path tests pin the closed gaps; RFC and module doc
updated to the refined contract.
Review findings on the config catalog:
The schema-subset check compared only top-level z.object keys against
top-level type members, so a nested loader-accepted key (agents[].id,
agentOptions.model, capabilities.*) missing from the declared type would
pass the gate unseen. The walk now collects nested object/array
compositions as key paths and resolves each against the declared config
type — through interfaces (heritage included), aliases, literals,
intersections, unions, arrays, indexed access, Partial-style wrappers, and
type references across package-local and workspace imports (re-export
chains included). The check stays presence-only and one-directional, and
only a definite miss is a violation: a path crossing a type the walk
cannot enumerate (an external package's) is skipped, never mis-reported.
The recursion guard applies at named declarations only — a structural
first child shares its span start with its parent, so a span-keyed guard
on every node mistakes ordinary descent for a cycle and silently turns
definite misses into unknowns.
The page and RFC framing also overstated the catalog as the exact
cordis.yml-settable surface: the paste is the plugin's full declared
config type, and a field the runtime schema deliberately excludes (the ACP
bridge's test-injected stream) is a runtime-only seam its own JSDoc marks.
Both now say so.
Five spec cases pin the new behavior: nested hidden key, workspace
intersection via star re-export, Partial wrapper, indexed-access
composition, and the external-type unknown path.
A directory holding exactly one file adds a path level for nothing;
cordis-catalog/ keeps its folder because it holds two sibling pages
(events.md + services.md), matching config-catalog.md which was born flat.
docs/tool-catalog/tools.md -> docs/tool-catalog.md and
docs/persistence-catalog/log-events.md -> docs/persistence-catalog.md; their
generators' OUT paths and in-page relative links drop one directory level,
and every citation repo-wide (docs, RFCs, package READMEs, generator
headers) is updated. graph-atlas.md, config-catalog.md, and the doc graphs
regenerate with the new paths.
