ds-review-bot round-2 findings: (1) dsh-subagent's runtime import of
@deepseek-ai/dsh-scope was undeclared in its manifest and tsconfig
references (the root paths map masked it; the emitted package would import
an undeclared dependency) — wired as peer+dev with the project reference,
module graph regenerated. (2) The structured re-assert only ensured
PRESENCE, so a downstream listener injecting a same-named entry with the
wrong schema kept it model-visible while validateStructuredValue enforced
the real one; it now REPLACES any same-named tool/section with the run's
own. Pinned by a wrong-schema-injection test asserting exactly one entry
carrying the run's schema.
createScope(ctx, key) mints a tagged context over a synchronously-usable
no-op-plugin fiber (one fact drives visibility AND lifetime); scopeOf reads
the tag through the prototype chain; scopeTarget(base, key) builds the
scope-filtered dispatch carrier over cordis Context.filter, composing the
base's own filter, branded Scoped<T> and runtime-marked for the dev
invariants. Scope.rawDispose exposes the exact cordis disposer so a
composite effect can nest the scope's teardown at its yield position.
Oversized plain-text tool results now spill to a session-scoped file and
return a bounded preview plus the spill path, so a verbose result stays
readable via `read` without consuming the next model request in full.
- dsh-spill: minimal SpillFiles seam (saveText → session-scoped SpillPath)
- dsh-spill-local: private 0700 session dirs, traversal-safe names, exclusive
owner-only writes
- dsh-spill-policy: tools/post-execute transformer; no-op unless maxInlineBytes
is set; skips read; best-effort on save failure (never turns a success into
an isError)
web_fetch is the showcase — no tool-specific spill code. The coding-agent
example loads the stack so its keyless Loader smoke guards the namespace-plugin
export shape. Snapshot gap for a transcript-visible web_fetch spill is recorded
in the RFC's Consequences (ACP replay is keyless and cannot hit the web).
Verifies the namespace plugin has no default export and preserves
name/inject/Config through Loader.unwrapExports — the same guard
pattern as dsh-tool-web, per the packages/AGENTS.md convention.
Connects to an external MCP server and registers its tools on
ctx.tools. Supports stdio (child process) and Streamable HTTP
transports. Credential-shaped env vars are scrubbed before forwarding
to child processes.

dispose unregisters and closes
- Full JSDoc on all exports (@param/@returns on functions)
- 100% per-file coverage (apply lifecycle, args coercion, env scrubbing)
- Config catalog regenerated
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.
The credential env scrub (SENSITIVE_ENV_PATTERN/buildChildEnv), the
spawn-failure capture (spawnFailure), the child-exit waits
(waitForExit/exitsWithin), and the stdin-EOF -> SIGTERM -> SIGKILL dispose
ladder move out of subagent-acp into a new pure library package (the
subagent-inprocess shape), with the ladder taking its two grace periods as
parameters — defaults stay in the plugin Config. New isolated-config-dir
helpers (mkdtemp create, best-effort remove; a pinned dir is never removed)
land alongside for the CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR / CODEX_HOME redirection the RFC
names.
The ACP backend migrates onto the library with no semantic change: its suite
passes with import-path edits only. bash-local keeps its sibling copy, per
the RFC's blast-radius call.

The shipped backend of the code-execution seam, per the Code Mode RFC's
worker-thread section: one fresh Node worker per run, executing the
model's TypeScript after a host-side type-strip (wrapped in an
async-function shell so top-level return/await parse, sliced back out
position-preserved), bindings bridged over the message port under
hostile-peer rules (own-property name lookup, at-most-once replies,
post-settlement drops, null-prototype namespaces), logs streamed eagerly
with an in-band truncation marker, and two independent budgets — measured
event-loop busy time (computeMs) plus a never-pausing wall ceiling
(maxWallMs) — funneling into worker.terminate(). env: {} and execArgv: []
keep the isolate hermetic; disposal aborts in-flight runs and awaits
worker exits.
The worker entry loads unbuilt via Node's native type stripping
(src/worker.ts, erasable-only) and ships built as a sibling tsdown bundle
(lib/worker.js); tests/built-lib.e2e.ts pins the built load path under
plain node and joins the built-artifact smoke gate. Unit suites cover the
bootstrap in-process (fake port) and the runtime over real workers,
per-file 100%.
Model-facing tool-call budgets were tangled into each capability's schema
(bash timeoutMs, web_fetch timeout_ms) with no shared home. Add a
tools/execute around-dispatch waterfall to dsh-tools whose base next() is
the dispatch-with-normalization thunk, and a new @deepseek-ai/dsh-timeout-policy
plugin (packages/timeout/) that arms a per-tool deadline on exec.signal and
returns a structured TOOL_TIMEOUT when it wins. Migrate web_fetch (drop the
model-facing timeout_ms) and web_search onto it; the fetch provider keeps its
timeout only as a resource backstop for direct callers. bash and hook command
execution keep BASH_TIMEOUT unchanged.
Named the plugin timeout-policy (not the RFC's tool-timeout) so it does not
trip the gen-tool-catalog packages/*/tool-* completeness guard, and replace
exec.signal by in-place mutation before next() since cordis waterfall next()
ignores passed arguments. RFC moved to implemented/ recording both deviations.
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.

Ship @deepseek-ai/dsh-retention under packages/util/: pure ItemRetainer /
TextRetainer plus neutral notice helpers, so tools that cap model-facing
output share one "what did we keep, what did we omit, may we stop reading"
mechanic while keeping grouping, exit codes, provider errors, and recovery
prose tool-owned. The two retainers are separate names because they differ in
resource model: item-head can stop the upstream on the first over-cap probe
(shouldStop), while text tail/head-tail must read to the end. The library
documents glob/grep/bash/web_fetch/web_search mappings but migrates no tool
yet — glob/grep don't exist, and migration is deliberately separate work.
Flips the RFC to implemented/ and rewrites its skeleton to shipped reality.
Carved out of #170 per review feedback — the foundation the workflow tool
builds on, now standing alone on master:
- dsh-tools: the structured-output JSON Schema subset (StructuredOutputSchema,
assertSupportedOutputSchema, validateStructuredValue) — rejects loud outside
the enforced subset, listing every violation
- dsh-subagent: SubagentStartRequest.outputSchema / SubagentResult.structured
become a real capability; the service rejects a schema'd request whose
provider lacks it
- dsh-subagent-inprocess: the shared structured runtime — one global
structured_output capture tool, a prepend final-assembly listener that
strips the placeholder for plain agents and swaps in the run's own schema
(plus the calling instruction as a trailing section) for structured
children, an agent/turn-continuation veto once captured, and the
capture/nudge loop in the run driver (structuredNudgeRetries, cancellation
honored mid-nudge); lifetime refcounted by backends and live runs
- subagent-spawn / subagent-fork flip outputSchema: true
One deliberate divergence from the #170 revision: the backends do NOT add
'tools' to their plugin inject. Doing so deferred their apply past the todo
plugin, and the delegation tool mirrors provider lifecycle — so the
model-visible tool order of every existing prompt changed, invalidating every
recorded snapshot fixture. The runtime now gates its capture-tool registration
on tools availability itself (sync when live, a scoped inject fiber when the
Loader starts the backend first), keeping this PR byte-invisible to existing
transcripts: all 35 snapshot scenarios pass against master's fixtures
unchanged.
Master's reconstructable-requests overhaul (#179) meets the workflow tool:
- subagent-inprocess structured-output nudge becomes a system-prompt section
plus logged context (the injected-request waterfall shape is gone upstream)
- snapshot fixtures re-recorded on the merged tree so every request/header
carries the workflow tool; authored error-finish/cancel headers patched to
the merged tool list and system text
- architecture.md condensed back under its word ceiling; module graph regenerated
Timeout timing/classification was re-implemented three ways across the
tool-bearing capabilities, with the fusion of timeout+cancel and the
timeout-vs-cancel reason recovery being the error-prone parts. Extract that
shared half into a zero-dependency @deepseek-ai/dsh-timeout library
(clampTimeout/deadline/timeoutOf/TimeoutReason) and leave the non-shareable
hard-kill in each capability, per the timeout-library RFC.
bash: run() owns the deadline; runBash drops its killTimer and no longer
classifies (SpawnSpec/SpawnOutcome lose timeoutMs/timedOut/aborted), so the
public timedOut/aborted booleans become mutually-exclusive first-abort
classifications. web_fetch: the hand-rolled controller/timer/listener/
signal.reason dance is replaced by provider-owned deadline/timeoutOf, keeping
the WEB_FETCH_TIMEOUT / WEB_ABORTED contract. fs stays timeout-free (README
states why).
Beyond the mechanical conflicts (provider capability lines vs master's new
inheritsParentContext field; generated catalogs regenerated rather than
hand-merged; knip/lockfile), three master-side reworks required semantic
adaptation of this branch:
- The persona rework removed AgentOptions.systemPrompt, which was the
structured-output instruction's channel. The instruction now rides the
SAME final-request enforcement listener that injects the schema'd tool:
appended per request to final.system (per-request wire state, not agent
prompt state). Tests assert the wire request (adapter.requests) instead
of child.options; the bare-direct-dispatch test pins the no-system arm.
- Tool guidance moved out of deployment prompts into per-tool prompt
sections; the examples' workflow paragraph became a tool:<toolName>
section contributed by dsh-tool-workflow (explicit-ask-only policy),
and both example personas resolve to master's minimal identity+behavior
form. tool-workflow gains inject: systemPrompt (+ peer dep, tsconfig
ref); the export-shape guard updated.
- The uniform-RFC-format gate: the dynamic-workflows RFC restructured to
the implemented/ skeleton (bare Status line; Proposal -> Decision;
What-was-rejected -> Alternatives considered; new Consequences), and
the overall-run-timeout deferral is now recorded in the RFC's Deferred
list. The doc-graphs atlas classification gains the workflows seam
(workflow-vm implementation, tool-workflow consumer).
Master's harness-identity section made "empty assembled prompt" states
unreachable through the loop, so the instruction-append is a plain
undefined-ternary and the structured tests assert append-not-replace.
All snapshot goldens (including workflow-run) replay unchanged. Full
local CI-equivalent gate sequence green on the merged tree.
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
A new capability family at packages/workflow/ in the bash seam shape,
modeled on Claude Code's dynamic workflows: the model writes a JavaScript
orchestration script (export const meta = {...} + plain-JS body), a runtime
executes it, and the script — not the conversation — holds the loop, the
branching, and the intermediate results.
- dsh-workflow (ctx.workflows): abstract WorkflowService + run vocabulary
(WorkflowRun whose result NEVER rejects) + observe-only workflow/* events
carrying data snapshots (id + meta, never the live run), per-listener
contained like subagent/*.
- dsh-workflow-vm: in-process node:vm engine. Meta extraction via a
string/comment-aware scanner (template interpolation rejected; literal
evaluated alone in an empty timed context; statement blanked line-
preservingly so stacks keep script line numbers). Hooks: agent(prompt,
{label, phase, schema, model}) over ctx.subagents, parallel(), pipeline()
(no cross-stage barrier), phase(), log(), args. Fatal-vs-null discipline:
hook misuse (unknown/deferred options, bad arguments, unsupported
schemas, tripped caps, seam start failures, cancellation) throws fatal
WorkflowErrors the combinators RE-THROW — never dissolved into the
per-item null reserved for child failures. Realm boundary: inbound values
materialized by descriptor walks that never invoke accessors (defineProperty
copies, __proto__-safe); outbound values rebuilt in-realm via the
context's own JSON.parse. Determinism bans (Date.now/Math.random/argless
new Date) kept so future resume support cannot break scripts. Caps and
timeouts are validated Config. Every hook promise carries a no-op
rejection consumer (app-boot exits on unhandled rejections).
- dsh-tool-workflow: the model-facing workflow tool, synchronous like
dsh-tool-subagent (start → await → try/finally dispose; abort bridged;
non-completed → isError). Generic render card titled by a textual
meta.name sniff. The tool description carries the authoring contract.
Wired into examples/{coding-agent,acp-agent} with explicit-ask-only
guidance. Coverage at every tier: unit (meta scanner, materializer incl.
counting-getter and __proto__ regressions, combinator semantics,
concurrency ceiling, caps, cancellation, no-unhandled-rejection abandon),
integration over the real spawn stack, with-key e2e (real two-phase run +
the tool through the registry pipeline), and a recorded ACP snapshot
scenario (workflow-run, 1 child session). RFC:
docs/rfc/implemented/feature/2026-07-05-dynamic-workflows.md (deferred
work explicitly listed). AGENTS.md budget 1575 → 1590 for the new group's
layout line.
The seam vocabulary (SubagentStartRequest.outputSchema, SubagentResult
.structured) existed but no in-process backend honored it — spawn/fork
advertised outputSchema: false. This lands the missing half:
- dsh-tools gains a structured-output JSON Schema subset (json-schema.ts):
StructuredOutputSchema, assertSupportedOutputSchema (rejects loud outside
the enforced subset, every violation listed), validateStructuredValue
(path-qualified issues, total). outputSchema's seam type becomes this raw
JSON-Schema subset instead of the author-facing SchemaSpec DSL — the schema
travels verbatim to the model as a forced tool's parameters.
- dsh-subagent-inprocess gains the shared structured runtime: one global
structured_output capture tool (placeholder parameters) + a prepend:true
agent/request listener doing FINAL-REQUEST enforcement (strip for plain
agents, per-run schema for structured children — survives downstream
request-replacing listeners) + an agent/turn-continuation veto that stops
a child's turn once captured (no wasted extra model step). Lifetime is
refcounted by backends (plugin lifetime) AND live runs (start→settle).
- startInProcessRun drives the capture: subset asserted before the child
exists, instruction appended to the child's system prompt, clean-finish
nudge loop (structuredNudgeRetries, backend Config, default 1), captured
value on result.structured; a clean finish without a capture settles
'error' (never a silent success with a missing field).
- spawn + fork flip outputSchema: true and inject 'tools'.
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.
