Confirmed and fixed, each with a regression test that failed first:
- Concurrent update() lost patches (merge over one stale snapshot):
per-namespace serialized write queues; a failed write cannot poison
the queue for later writers.
- Fixed-name .tmp write followed planted symlinks and kept stale modes:
random-suffix sibling, exclusive-create (wx), 0600, cleanup on
failure, then rename.
- A throwing settings/updated listener escaped commit and permanently
wedged the provider reload chain (rejected refreshTask): commit now
contains listener failures (INVARIANT-coded errors still propagate),
async watcher rejections are adopted and contained
(watch callbacks are officially void | Promise<void>), and the
provider chains refreshes on a settled tail with an error log.
- No way to remove a user override: scope/service replace(section)
sets the user section wholesale; replace({}) re-inherits base and
schema defaults.
- The three-primitive provider contract did not hold (base never
called load()): the base Service.init loads and publishes once;
settings-local delegates via yield* super[Service.init]().
- Dispose did not quiesce: teardown flags closed, closes the watcher,
then awaits queued/in-flight reloads; closed is re-checked across
await points.
- Invariant now checks the authoritative relation with the seam's own
deepEqualJson: emitted next must equal settings.get(ns), and
next/prev must differ structurally (cosmokit dependency dropped).
- New docs/core-data-structures/settings.{md,zh.md} with type-equiv
blocks + manifest entries; catalog types moved from exemptions to
LINK_MAP; website page registered.
Both packages stay at per-file 100% coverage.
Two-package capability family mirroring session-persistence/:
- dsh-settings: abstract Settings service — namespace registry with
caller-fiber effect registrations, layered resolution (schema defaults
< composition base < user document), schemastery validation,
per-namespace deep-equal commit detection, and the settings/updated
event. Boot/registration validation fails loud; provider publishes
keep last-good per namespace.
- dsh-settings-local: settings.yaml/.json provider — resolveSpec
defaulting to $DSH_HOME/settings.yaml, chokidar hot reload,
content-equality self-write suppression, atomic 0600 tmp+rename
writes, comment-preserving YAML namespace patching.
Consumers register inside ctx.inject(['settings'], …), so every
composition works unchanged without a mounted provider. Real Loader +
Include composition test proves cordis.yml boot and external-edit hot
propagation; HMR disposal test proves registry cleanup. Both packages
hold per-file 100% coverage.
Doc budgets rise 1705→1710 (AGENTS.md) and 835→845 (packages/README.md):
one structural line per file for the new package group.
Agent Note: .agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-28-user-settings-seam.md
The wine blocking job flaked with ERR_PNPM_ENOENT rename '_tmp_*' ->
'<pkg>/node_modules/esbuild' during workspace snapshot + pnpm install
(runs 30334004123 and 30340039598), and a plain rerun passed. Root
cause is upstream pnpm/pnpm#12880: the hoisted linker's parallel
linkers race to rename their _tmp_* staging directory onto the same
nested package path, and the loser exits although an identical
re-install succeeds. Only this lane uses nodeLinker: hoisted, so only
this lane hits it.
snapshot_and_install now retries exactly that log signature up to two
times, wiping the scratch tree's node_modules first (the snapshot
itself contains none, so the wipe restores the pre-install state) and
logging each retry with the upstream issue. Any other install failure
still fails on the first attempt, and a race that survives the final
attempt still fails loud with the install log tail.
Archive 21 implemented triplets whose shipped decisions are complete and
whose bodies no longer guide future work (one-off UI chrome, generator
applications whose scripts are self-explanatory, superseded implementation
detail, process history owned by current contracts/skills). Delete 4
rejected triplets whose premises are obsolete: the DeepReadonly proposal
(dev-invariants note now carries the alternative inline), the collapse
tool-owned presentation proposal (superseded by the shipped render-intent
union), retire-mid-turn-steering (steering is now load-bearing across
plan-mode/apiproxy/TUI), and single-session-ACP (automation-only ACP
resolved the question; multi-session isolation is pinned by tests).
Repair every inbound link: retarget intentional historical citations to
archived paths, replace decision-current citations with the surviving
authority, and fix the stale example-execute-over-tsx pointer in
pnpm-workspace.yaml. Re-record pairing sidecars and seal the archive
manifest (append-only; existing seals unchanged).
