- `relay` resolves its sender in `contextBody` like every other form. It was
the one shape whose marker could claim a form the body did not render: an
unreadable sender fell back inside the body while the row still said relay,
contradicting the contract this PR's own note states.
- `recall` requires the retained, omitted, and truncated fields. Completeness
is what the card exists to report, so a reference that cannot state it is
not a readable recall — showing the label alone presents a confident card
over unknown loss.
- The snapshot body states the supersession its producer framing line carries.
That line is the one part of the model-facing text no section contains, and
unlike an instruction context's `<system-reminder>` it states the form's own
semantics rather than wrapping content.
- `GoalMessageSource` is a discriminated pair, so `{ form: 'notice' }` without
its account no longer compiles. The guarantee this PR claims now holds at
that seam too, not only through `ContextFormed` on plugin sources.
- Goal and tool-goal summaries are bounded by a shared `boundContextSummary`,
which tool-tasks now uses as well. A goal objective is unbounded caller text
in exactly the way a task label is.
- The runtime snapshot interpolates once per request: agent-loop renders the
sections and joins them through `joinContextSections`.
- Every form's fallback branch is pinned, not only the notice one.
The rebase carried the simple-interface block from the base branch, while
this branch turned ContextFormed into a per-form discriminated union;
ContextSnapshotSection gets its own block so the page stays self-contained.
Four values complete the vocabulary, so the opaque body is reached only by
producers that genuinely promise no shape.
`snapshot` — current state a later snapshot supersedes. system-prompt now
exposes `renderContextSections()`, the named contributions
`renderContextSnapshot()` already joins for the model, so the body attributes
each part to the subsystem that produced it instead of re-splitting joined
prose. The runtime snapshot, time-context, and tmux-context declare it.
`notice` — a one-off account of what just happened, declared by tool-tasks,
goal state changes, tool-goal wrap-up, plan-mode switches, and
repeat-tool-guard. Its `summary` rides the COLLAPSED row: these five are the
majority of shipped producers and none of them needs expanding to be read.
The task summary bounds itself because its inputs are unbounded caller text.
`relay` — a message another agent addressed to this one; both subagent
sources declare it and the body names the sender above what it said.
`recall` — material lifted from another session's log. session-reference
needed no new field: its references already record retained and omitted
counts and the truncation flag, which the body shows first, because recalled
context is bounded on the way in.
`ContextFormed` is now discriminated by `form`, so a producer cannot declare
a shape without the facts that shape is presented from — a notice without its
summary, or a snapshot without its sections, fails to compile.
Only the two hook bridges stay opaque, by design: their content is whatever
an external program printed, so no shape can be promised for it. Unknown
kinds and unreadable records land there too.
- An empty replacement catalog is a real catalog: `renderCatalogUpdate()`
publishes zero entries when the last skill disappears, and falling back
would hide that every earlier name was retired.
- The opaque fallback keeps a `form` declaration this version cannot present.
It is the one place a newer or foreign log's declared shape would otherwise
vanish from the UI entirely, since the row marker is also absent there.
- An instruction change with an unrecognized `action` disqualifies the record.
The action decides the word the row shows, so an unknown one would be
presented as loaded or updated.
- The catalog list bounds itself and reports the withheld count. Entry count
is unbounded and the scrollport bounds height, not node count.
- A catalog message keeps content blocks this version does not know, instead
of dropping model-visible content the extensible union may carry.
- `core.md` defines `ContextFormed`, the interface actually carrying the
optional field, beside `ContextForm`.
- The superseded-in-part bullet states the affected clauses as one rule rather
than enumerating them; two rounds of enumeration each missed some, which is
the shape being fragile rather than the list being wrong.
- The note records the one migration case that does not self-heal: an
old-format catalog as the only one, with an empty current view, leaves a
stale catalog nothing replaces.
- `catalogHistory` validated its durable read. `agent.session.events` is a
JSONL/SQLite seed on resume or fork, and seed validation guarantees only a
source object with a non-empty `kind`; a `skill-catalog` record with missing
or wrongly shaped `entries` threw inside the step listener, failing every
later turn of that session. It is now skipped as an unrecognizable record,
the posture the replaced content digest had, with a regression test over six
malformed shapes.
- The headless keyless smoke still filtered catalogs by the old plugin source,
so the `built-bin-smoke` gate would not have found the catalog message.
- Entries record the published description unescaped. The pseudo-XML escaping
belongs to the `<available_skills>` frame and is applied when rendering it,
so a description containing `<` no longer reaches the card as `<`.
`escapeText` is injective, so republish semantics and the model-facing text
are unchanged.
- Adjacent text blocks join with no separator, matching how provider adapters
flatten them; the body no longer shows a line break the model never saw.
- Provenance fields are bounded like the text: an unknown producer may record
an arbitrarily large value.
- Both readers are all-or-nothing, and the row's form marker reports what
rendered rather than what was declared, so a partly unreadable record cannot
present a confident but incomplete account.
- The catalog body consumes `update` as a replacement notice; the digest
canonicalizes per entry as JSON, since every separator character is itself
legal in a description.
- `core.md` documents the form axis with a `ContextForm` type-equiv block, and
both projections assert the wiring they duplicate.
Assistant footers and the stats line gain TTFT/tok-per-second readings
folded from step timings; context occupancy moves off the stats line onto
a composer ring whose panel shows a heuristic system/tools/messages
breakdown from the new token-meter contextBreakdown session projection.
Injected context reached the transcript as one anonymous shape whose
expanded body was the whole message serialized as inline JSON, so the
escaping collapsed the only readable part — the model-facing prose —
into a single line.
`MessageSource` gains an optional producer-declared `form`, a small
semantic vocabulary of information shapes independent of `kind`: kind
says who produced the context, form says what shape it is, so several
producers may share one presentation. Two values ship.
`instructions` (workspace-context) lists the reconciled files above
their text and keeps the `<system-reminder>` framing verbatim, because
the framing is part of what the model read. `catalog` moves dsh-tool-skill
off the shared plugin kind onto a `skill-catalog` source carrying the
published name/description entries, and the body lists those instead of
re-parsing `<available_skills>` out of the prose. Catalog identity moves
with it: the republish digest now covers the durable entries, deleting
the text-slicing that recovered them from a logged message.
Everything else renders the opaque body — the model-facing text with its
real line breaks, then the remaining provenance as fields. That is the
documented default, not a leftover: a resumed, forked, or foreign log
must render whether or not its producer is mounted here, which is why
the classification lives in the durable source rather than a client-side
table keyed by producer.
core-data-structures/bash.md now names dsh-bash as owner of the shared
exit-status contract parseExitStatus/ParsedExitStatus provide to both
shell tools' presentResult (mirroring the README seam paragraph); the
windows-pwsh-default roadmap no longer claims composition-first ordering
while the rendering stage ships first; the terminal-card-model JSDoc
covers the shell tools, not just bash. Re-record both bilingual pairs.
Two had real security consequences:
The bootstrap rejection ran on npm dotenv's parser while process.loadEnvFile
applied the file with Node's own. Two independently maintained dialects meant
the check and the thing it guards could disagree: a name Node accepts but the
checker misses would reach process.env unchecked, and BASH_ENV there runs a
file of the project's choosing on every `bash -c` the bash tool issues. Parse
once with node:util's parseEnv — the same engine loadEnvFile uses — and assign
the entries already checked, which also drops the dotenv dependency.
llm-pi-ai still returned a literal profile.apiKey ahead of everything, and it
registers a settings namespace, so the defect removed from llm-deepseek
survived intact in its design twin. The field is gone from the profile schema,
the resolution path, and the tests.
The rest are consistency and documentation defects the review named:
- verify-config-source-ownership did not scan the Python runtime's bundled
cordis.yml, which still inlined apiKey and baseURL. Both are covered now, and
the line-anchored INLINE_DENY documents that it is a tripwire, not a parser.
- The deny list missed NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED, the askpass hooks, the
GIT_CONFIG_* redirections, and PYTHONHOME — all implied by its own stated
rule about what a variable does.
- Snapshot lookups folded case on Windows, where environment names are
case-insensitive and an exact-match Map could miss a higher-ranked layer.
- The credentials note claimed a read-time permission check was "not taken"
while this PR implemented it; the credentials-local README still described
two layers, live process.env reads, dotenv-era limitations, and a renamed
anchor; the llm-deepseek README still advertised the removed literal apiKey;
and web.ts and base.cordis.yml kept personal-overlay wording.
- The ownership note's literal-apiKey claim now names its scope: the
web-search providers keep a literal field but register no settings
namespace, so nothing can shadow a stored credential through them.
