scopeHost(ctx, services) is the sanctioned way to mint scopes in tests: it
names absent services loudly instead of the cryptic cordis without-inject
dead end, and catches the silent-no-op host (cordis resolves a
dependency-pending fiber's await without running the inject callback).
The ACP ToolPresenter resolves presentations through the session agent's
view (tools.get(name, agent)) so a scoped/shadowed tool renders with the
same definition that executed.
verify-scoped-dispatch (doc-sync + pre-push) pins the dev-invariants
carrier table against the declaration JSDoc set: an event enforced but
undocumented, documented but unenforced, or a registry-subject notification
leaking into the table fails the build. subagent/start|end docs gain their
scoped-dispatch sentence (a real gap the gate caught on first run).
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.
New doc-sync gate verify-export-jsdoc walks every module-level exported
name under packages/*/*/src and requires description prose everywhere,
plus @param per parameter and @returns on non-void annotated returns for
function-like exports, public class methods, properties, and accessors.
The parsing + check helpers move out of gen-cordis-catalog.ts into a
shared scripts/jsdoc.ts so 'documented' means one thing on both gated
surfaces.
Deliberate exemptions (documented in the RFC): heritage-declared class
members (the seam declaration is the doc's one home — the one checker
query in an otherwise pure-AST walk), cordis plugin-protocol slots
(name/inject/reusable/Config/apply, top-level and static), constructors,
overload implementations, declare-module augmentation bodies, and
re-export statements (checked at the defining module).
The 203 under-documented exports the gate found at adoption are filled
in this change, so the gate lands green; generated catalogs/graphs are
regenerated for the shifted line pointers.

Review round 2 (tianyicui inline comments):
- dsh-system-prompt itself registers the harness:identity (-100) and
deployment:persona (0) sections — they must survive a swapped loop
plugin, so they leave dsh-agent-loop; the persona text is the plugin's
own validated 'persona' config. The model/cwd variables STAY on the
loop: runtime facts of the agents it drives.
- AgentOptions.systemPrompt is deleted with all its forwarding plumbing:
the app configs' systemPrompt keys become 'persona' routed through
dsh-agent-core (schema = z.intersect of the owners'), the ACP bridge
and tool-subagent stop carrying persona configuration, and subagent
children now render the deployment persona like every other agent.
- Example personas drop transport/interface trivia (ACP, CLI) — facts
irrelevant to the model.
- Root CONTEXT.md removed (not idiomatic); its persona definition was
wrong under the new ownership anyway.
- Docs, READMEs, the prompt-variables RFC, and generated catalogs
updated; new loop test pins the assemble-waterfall escape valve
(an emptied assembly sends NO system field).
Reconciliations beyond textual conflicts:
- product rename (DeepSeek Code -> DeepSeek Harness SDK) applied to the
PR-added assertion in system-prompt.spec.ts that master's rename
commit could not reach
- architecture.md: master's rewrite kept; this PR's prompt-assembly
semantics re-added in the new doc's voice (Turn Flow footnote +
service-spine row), within the 1630-word ceiling
- cordis catalog regenerated into master's split events.md/services.md
(events-and-services.md deleted); module graph and doc graphs
regenerated to pick up this PR's new events and dependency edges
One principle: every fact in the assembled prompt has exactly one owner.
- dsh-system-prompt: merge-extensible AssembleContext on assemble();
a variable(name, provider) registry; {{name}} interpolation in
renderPrompt, strict (unknown/valueless/malformed references throw);
duplicate section and variable names rejected; assembly carries
resolved section text + variables through the assemble waterfall.
- dsh-agent declares AssembleContext.agent; dsh-agent-loop registers
the agent:persona section (order 0 - identity renders before tool
guidance) and the model/cwd variables, and drops its string join:
renderPrompt(assembly) IS the full prompt.
- Tool guidance moves to its owners: descriptions carry per-tool
semantics; sections only cross-call habits (tool:bash exit-code
habit at order 105; read's not-shell nudge). todo/subagent need no
section - their descriptions already carry the contract.
- SubagentProvider.inheritsParentContext (spawn/acp false, fork true);
dsh-tool-subagent derives truthful per-provider wording and resolves
the provider at load (backend must be listed first).
- Example personas shrink to identity + behavior with {{model}} (and
{{cwd}} in the ACP tree); the welcome banner stops enumerating tools.

ImageBlock had no production producer and every consumer dropped it:
the deepseek serializer skipped it, the pi-ai converter skipped it as
unrepresentable, the ACP bridge neither advertises image prompt
capability nor forwards image blocks, and compact-basic charged a flat
85-token estimate and rendered an [image] placeholder. A block
constructed today would silently vanish from the wire — the vocabulary
advertised a capability no path honors, the silent-data-loss shape the
defensive patterns warn against. The only constructors were tests
pinning the skip/estimate branches.
Remove ImageBlock and its ContentBlockMap entry (its cache?: CacheHint
field leaves with it; CacheHint itself and the other two cache? fields
are out of scope). compact-basic loses its explicit image estimate and
placeholder arms (the merge-extensible default arms absorb the case);
the deepseek serializer, pi-ai converter, and ACP codec already handled
image in their default arms, so only their image-naming comments
change. The codec's inbound rejection of ACP-protocol image prompt
content stays — that guards wire content a client can send regardless
of our vocabulary.
Tests that constructed harness image blocks to pin the removed branches
are dropped (the 85-token estimate pin) or retargeted onto plugin-added
block types / other non-text blocks, which the surviving default arms
own. Docs, the type-equiv pastes, and the content-block vocabulary
RFC's block list and multimodal-home consequence are updated in the
same change; the RFC moves to implemented/ and the index is
regenerated. A real multimodal feature reintroduces image via
declaration merging together with the adapter mapping, ACP
advertisement, and compaction pricing that honor it.
stdio-chat.spec.ts imports ContentBlock/StreamChunk types from
@deepseek-ai/dsh-llm; the manifest entry lived on the folded package
and did not move with the tests. Declared peer+dev like the module's
other harness deps (the src consumes dsh-llm vocabulary through the
session events it renders).
The module/README prose claimed both guard-covered failure classes
would otherwise exit 0; only the failed-IMPORT class does (an init
throw already exits non-zero via Node's default handler — the guard
contributes the labelled line and the guaranteed exit(1), as its own
JSDoc says). The dependency-graph row now says loader/include (include
is a peer: boot() names it by entry string, so the installed consumer
provides it). The bins are self-executing compositions, not main()
wrappers.
The four near-twin helpers the two published bins carried — loadEnv,
installFailLoud, assertEntriesLoaded, boot — live once in
packages/ui/app-boot, parameterized by the bin's diagnostic prefix and
injectable at their side-effect seams (warn sink, process slice), so
every branch sits under the per-file 100% coverage gate: the unit suite
drives boot() in-process against the real Loader (relative-specifier
configs) through both the settled-tree path and the fiber-less-entry
rejection, and exercises the ENOENT/unloadable .env split, the
Error/non-Error/stackless fail-loud arms, and the disabled-entry
exclusion. resolveConfigPath (snapshot-aware) becomes the single path
resolver for both bins.
Each bin.ts is now a thin self-executing composition plus its
app-specific lifecycle (acp: replay env-skip + stdin-EOF dispose;
stdio: nothing extra), exports nothing, and stays coverage-excluded;
the built-bin smokes still prove both artifacts under plain node in the
node_modules-shaped temp dir (now symlinking ui/app-boot), including
the missing-config non-zero exit.
Implements docs/rfc/implemented/simplification/2026-07-04-share-app-bin-boot-glue.md
(moved from proposed/ and amended); the extract-example-app-packages
RFC's bin-ownership facts are amended in the same change.
The stdio app's module doc and its unit suite's doc carried the claim
the review already corrected elsewhere: an inject-less app boots past a
collapsed export shape, so the smoke proves the tree runs while the
unwrapExports assertion in the unit suite pins the shape.
vitest.config.ts coverage comments (excessive-tests welcome -> docs/testing.md;
v8-ignore reason rule -> the quality-gates RFC) and the acp bridge.spec
resource-ownership comment -> docs/testing.md. Postmortem 0001's summary now
names packages/AGENTS.md as the export-shape rule's home. Repo-wide sweep from
the root (all file types, vendor/lib excluded) shows every remaining AGENTS.md
citation resolves to a rule that exists where cited.
Two pieces of dsh-acp surface were unreachable from any shipped config:
- AcpConfig.agentName/agentVersion: the app package hands the bridge only
{ model, systemPrompt }, so no leaf cordis.yml could set them; they were
settable only by direct-mounting the bridge (a unit test). Hardcode
agentInfo at the initialize site and delete the fields, their schema
defaults, the ?? fallbacks, and the TODO(double-default) whose subject
vanishes. The handshake wire value is unchanged (all snapshot initialize
lines byte-identical).
- The toolKindFor name heuristic special-cased bash*/read*/write/edit*
names in the generic-fallback path, violating the bridge's own design
rule ("the bridge never special-cases tool names"). Every first-party
tool ships its kind via presentCall; the fallback now renders the
neutral kind 'other'. The fallback is reachable when a presentCall
throws OR when model args fail the tool schema (defineTool's presentCall
wrapper returns undefined on violations) — the latter shows up in one
committed golden (hook-codex-posttool-block: three bash calls missing
the required description), whose kind cells flip execute->other. That
3-line golden refresh is the whole transcript delta.
The empty-arguments branch of parseToolArguments lost its only exercise
with the deleted heuristic test; it is live behavior (JSON.parse('')
throws, so the guard is what renders a zero-arg call as rawInput {}), so
it gets a dedicated pin instead of deletion.
RFC moved to docs/rfc/implemented/simplification/ and amended to shipped
reality: fallback reachability includes schema-invalid args, and the
golden churn is exactly the three kind cells (the original zero-churn
claim held only for the branding half).
The definitive sweep (audit every AGENTS.md mention in packages/, docs/,
examples/, scripts/) found thirteen more citations of relocated policy
and two citations of rules that never existed as quoted:
- with-key policy comments (web deepseek/perplexity e2e headers) ->
docs/testing.md; real-impl-over-mock comments (acp harness, load,
stream-update specs) -> docs/testing.md; defensive-pattern quotes
(acp index.ts x3, stream-update) -> docs/defensive-patterns.md.
- md-tier repoints: real-api-e2e RFC, tool-schema-catalog RFC,
postmortem 0001 guardrail row, adding-a-package cookbook,
drop-bash-output-spill-files RFC, acp-subagent-backend RFC phrasing.
- Two false attributions dropped in favor of self-contained reasoning:
tool-todo's 'don't validate scenarios that can't happen' and the
bash-stdin-env RFC's 'Don't add features beyond what the task
requires' (neither rule ever existed under those names).
- Citations of the two 'not golden truth' doctrines stay: those bullets
survive verbatim in the root conventions.
Note: packages/support/ui-stdio readline TTY spec flakes under full
coverage on a heavily loaded box (passes standalone and passed the
same tree's coverage run minutes earlier); untouched by this stack.
The readline UI lives inside @deepseek-ai/dsh-stdio-agent as the
in-package stdio-chat module; the packages/support/ui-stdio package is
gone. The app's front-door cluster always includes this UI and nothing
else composes it, so the boundary bought manifest/tsconfig/module-graph/
README/publint surface for a helper that is not independently
swappable — and a product app no longer depends on a support package
documented as not-product-surface.
createStdioChat, the StdioRuntime test seam, and both unit suites moved
verbatim (imports rewired to the module path); the named
name/inject/Config/apply export shape stays, being the contract the
app's ctx.plugin mount consumes. Coverage stays per-file 100%; the
built-bin smoke under plain node and both keyless Loader-path smokes
prove the published artifact and the demos end-to-end.
Implements docs/rfc/implemented/simplification/2026-07-04-fold-stdio-ui-helper.md
(moved from proposed/ and amended to the shipped shape).
- Restore the universal JSDoc rule the rewrite dropped (module doc
comment + semantic JSDoc on every export), in root AGENTS.md § Type
safety and documentation — the generated-catalog RFC cites it as the
rule the generator enforces at the source.
- Repoint the six remaining citations of moved content that the
section-name grep missed (rule-title quotes and prose references):
agent-loop agent.ts, acp index.ts, acp turns.spec.ts, the Exa e2e
header, the real-api-e2e RFC, the doc-sync-enforcement RFC amendment,
and rfc/implemented/AGENTS.md's section-name casing.
- Fix two docs/testing.md overstatements: the unit tier also runs
examples/*/tests specs, and keyless-by-nature examples have no
with-key smoke.
- Displacement trims keep root AGENTS.md at 1,498/1,500.
The result-time diff card sent view.title raw, so a completed edit/write
of an absolute in-workspace path flipped the card header back from the
relativized `Edit src/b.ts` to the absolute path — the pending card
relativizes, the result did not, and tool_call_update.title replaces the
header. Apply displayTitle to the result diff arm using the diff path,
mirroring the call-side card. Regression test proven red on the unfixed
arm.
Also record the overwrite diff-basis pre-read as a bounded follow-up
(TODO(overwrite-diff-bound) + RFC non-goal): overwriting a large file
reads the whole prior text into memory for a UI-only diff.
Three comments still implied the result diff is always an applied hunk or
that write returns undefined on no-hunk: the toolResultUpdate JSDoc (a diff
result "emits the applied-hunk blocks, which replace the call-time snippet"),
the empty-diffs test comment ("an empty write returns undefined" — write now
falls back to a whole-file diff), and diffsFromMeta's JSDoc ("a bad meta
yields no diff card" — only true for edit; write falls back to a whole-file
diff). Each now states the write whole-file fallback. Regenerate the catalog.
Codex's stale-prose pass found seven more spots still describing the
result diff as ALWAYS an applied contextual hunk, or a create/binary
overwrite as rendering "only the call-time card": the DiffCallView JSDoc
and the acp bridge diff-arm comment, the FsWriteOutcome.before and
readTextForDiff JSDoc, and three RFC lines. All now say: the result diff
is the applied change — a contextual hunk when there is a before-image,
else a whole-file diff (create / undiffable binary) — and a successful
mutation always returns the result diff so the model-facing text can't
clobber it. Regenerate the cordis catalog (source line shift).
The acp README's presentResult card list still described the `diff` result
as always "the APPLIED hunks computed from before/after". Qualify it like
the other surfaces: typically the applied hunks, or a whole-file diff for a
create, and a successful mutation always returns it so the result text
can't clobber the diff.
The write-diff-card fix made write's presentResult return an args-derived
whole-file diff (oldText:null) for a create / unchanged overwrite, but the
DiffResultView contract and its mirrored docs still said `diffs` is ALWAYS
the applied contextual hunks computed from before/after. Correct the type
JSDoc, the write execute-side comment, and the four mirrored surfaces
(tools.md, tools README, acp-feature-support, adding-a-tool cookbook) to
say: typically the applied hunks, or a whole-file diff when there is no
before-image (a create) — and that a mutation returns the diff result even
when it duplicates the call-time card, since a tool_call_update.content
replace would otherwise clobber the diff with the model-facing text.
Regenerate the cordis catalog (source line shift).
Same stale enumeration as the presenter-note fix, in the ToolPresenter
JSDoc: it said the tool/result event "carries only { callId, content,
isError }". The event also carries error and meta; the load-bearing fact
is that it omits the tool name/args (why the presenter remembers them per
callId). State that instead of an exhaustive list that drifts.
The callId→args map note said the tool/result event "carries only
{ callId, content, isError }" — an exhaustive field list that drifts as
the event grows (it also carries error, and now meta). State the load-
bearing fact instead: the event omits the tool name/args, which is why
the bridge remembers them per callId.
Address the applied-hunk-diffs review:
- CRLF write overwrite emitted bogus every-line-changed hunks: write's
`before` was LF-normalized but `after` kept the raw model content, so a
CRLF rewrite of an LF file diffed every line. Normalize write's `after`
to LF so both sides share the diff basis (edit already did). Regression
test proves it fails on the raw-after path.
- The tool-private `meta` payload is now typed `unknown` (opaque) at every
seam instead of `JsonValue`. This drops the `dsh-tools -> dsh-session`
package edge that existed only to name the type, and removes the
`FileDiff` index signature that had been widening the type solely for
JsonValue-assignability. Serializability is still enforced at runtime by
`Session.append`'s isJsonValue check, which was always the real guard.
- Sync the docs the new result/meta surface left stale: ToolResultView's
diff card + ToolExecutionResult.meta in tools.md/session.md type-equiv
blocks, the acp/tools READMEs, and the adding-a-tool cookbook; regenerate
the cordis catalog and module graph.
fs write/edit now emit a result-time contextual-diff tool_call_update
(the applied hunk with ±3 context lines, one hunk per replace_all site),
matching what claude-agent-acp sends and what makes an editor render the
change in place. The call-time snippet diff stays; the result hunk
supersedes it (ACP content-replace).
Mechanism:
- A persisted tool-private `meta` channel: execute may return
`{ content, meta }`; `meta` (JsonValue) rides on the tool/result event
and is handed back to presentResult, so the diff reproduces on replay
(event-sourced). JsonValue is now exported from dsh-session.
- The backend returns raw before/after text (storage facts) on
FsWriteOutcome/FsEditOutcome; the tool computes the hunk via the npm
`diff` package's structuredPatch. A create has no before → no result
diff; a failed/aborted mutation carries no meta.
- ToolResultView gains a DiffResultView; the bridge's result-side switch
renders it as {type:'diff'} content blocks.
RFC: docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-02-result-time-applied-hunk-diffs.md
(justifies the npm `diff` runtime dep over vendoring and the meta channel);
the render-intent-union RFC's Non-goal is updated to record this shipped.
All fs snapshot goldens re-recorded; edit/overwrite gain the contextual
result diff, create/read/policy-reject unchanged in structure.
Address the render-intent-union review:
- toolResultUpdate branched on `if (card === 'terminal')` with a generic
fallthrough; ToolResultView is a closed union, so make it an exhaustive
`switch (view.card)` ending in assertNever (matching the call-side
renderer and the § Conventions closed-union rule). Adding a result card
later now fails to compile at the switch. Regression test: a rogue result
card throws.
- displayTitle's `rel.startsWith('..')` guard mis-rejected an in-workspace
target whose relative form merely begins with the chars `..` (e.g.
`..cache/x`, a real sibling name), leaving its title absolute. Test for a
`..` SEGMENT (`..` alone or `..<sep>…`) so such paths relativize, matching
claude-agent-acp's `cwd + sep` prefix check. Regression test added.
Replace the "bag of optional fields" tool-presentation types
(ToolCallPresentation / ToolResultPresentation / ToolTerminal) with a
card-tagged discriminated union — the standing FIXME(tool-presentation).
A tool declares one render intent per call/result and the ACP bridge
switches on `card`:
ToolCallView = generic | terminal | diff
ToolResultView = generic | terminal
The `diff` card is new: fs write/edit now emit an ACP {type:'diff'}
content block (an editor's inline diff), which the old shapes could not
express. The bridge also relativizes a file card's title against the
session cwd (mirroring claude-agent-acp's toDisplayPath) while keeping
locations/diff paths raw, and derives the no-capability fenced console
fallback from a terminal result's output. read gains the window-in-title
(`Read foo.txt (5 - 8)`) and an always-set location line, matching the
reference adapter field-for-field.
Migrates all three producer families (tool-fs, tool-bash, tool-todo) and
the sole consumer (the ACP bridge) together — the source does not compile
piecewise. Adds snapshot coverage for the terminal _meta path (a new
capability-advertising scenario) and re-records the fs goldens to show the
diff cards. Applied-hunk (result-time, context-line) diffs need a new
result/event shape and are a follow-up.
