Every packages/*/* README now carries a canonical '## Known Limitations and
Deferred Work' section: condensed, evidence-backed bullets for consumer-visible
gaps (unimplemented features, platform caveats, MVP cuts) and consciously
postponed work (TODO/FIXME/XXX markers, RFC deferrals still open). The ten
pre-existing ad-hoc variants ('What is NOT here (TODO)', 'Deferred',
'Limitations (MVP)', 'Known limitations (tracked TODOs)', ...) are normalized
into the canonical heading.
A new doc-sync gate, scripts/verify-readme-limitations.ts, enforces the shape:
exactly one limitations-like heading per package README, byte-equal to the
canonical h2, with at least one bullet; near-miss headings fail so variants
cannot creep back. Packages with genuinely nothing to declare (dsh-brand,
dsh-timeout, dsh-subagent-mock, dsh-app-boot) are whitelisted in the script and
must NOT carry the section; whitelist entries are validated against the scanned
package set so a rename fails loud.
Wired into the doc-sync chain (package.json) and the run-gates doc-sync leaf
set; the standing rule lands in packages/AGENTS.md and the adding-a-package
cookbook; decision record in
docs/rfc/implemented/process/2026-07-10-readme-known-limitations-gate.md
(RFC index regenerated).
Also fixes two stale '(deferred)' markers claiming dsh-compact-basic is
unimplemented (the dsh-compact seam README's package table and the seam's
module doc comment).
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.

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.
WebService exposed an observation surface nothing in production observes:
the web/providers-change event (declared, emitted on every provider
registration/disposal, rollback-yield ordered before the emit solely so a
throwing change listener unwinds the registration) and the aggregated
searchStatus()/fetchStatus() query with its WebCapabilityStatus union.
dsh-tool-web executes through ctx.web.search()/fetch() and routes on the
structured WebError codes selection throws at execution time; tool
registration follows product enablement, not provider availability. The
only listeners/callers were the web packages' own tests, and the
tool-web README / architecture.md prose claiming the tool 'reads only the
aggregated searchStatus()/fetchStatus()' had drifted from the call sites.
Remove the event declaration, both emits, and the rollback-before-emit
machinery (the plain ctx.effect disposer keeps HMR cleanup, matching
LlmService.registerAdapter). Remove searchStatus()/fetchStatus(),
resolveStatus(), and WebCapabilityStatus; the provider-private status()
stays as the execution-time selection input. Delete the listener-throw
rollback test, and rewrite every event/status assertion across the web
packages' tests onto caller-observable behavior: a successful
search()/fetch() or the structured WEB_PROVIDER_* codes. Regenerate the
cordis catalog; update the web/tool-web READMEs, the architecture.md web
paragraph, core-data-structures/web.md, and the type-equiv manifest; amend
the web capability seam RFC's facts to the shipped surface. This follows
the llm/adapter-change precedent: a boot-time backend-registry signal and
an availability probe distinct from executing both sit on the cut side of
its keep/cut criterion.
RFC: docs/rfc/implemented/simplification/2026-07-04-drop-unconsumed-web-observation-surface.md
- search providers (exa/perplexity/deepseek): map the parsed response
INSIDE the parse try, so a well-formed body of the wrong shape surfaces
as WEB_PROVIDER_ERROR instead of escaping as a raw TypeError; a WebError
the mapper throws on purpose is re-thrown untouched
- web-fetch-local: validate numeric limits at plugin construction (positive
finite caps; non-negative integer maxRedirects) rather than constructing a
provider with nonsensical values
- web-fetch-local: enforce the redirect budget BEFORE resolving each hop, so
maxRedirects:N follows exactly N redirects and an over-limit hop reports
"exceeded the maximum" rather than misdiagnosing a cross-origin block
- drop the stale dsh-tool-web/search and /fetch path aliases (the package no
longer declares those subpath exports)
- strip trailing EOF blank lines flagged by git diff --check
Each fix carries a regression test.
Add @deepseek-ai/dsh-web-search-deepseek: a WebSearchProvider that calls
DeepSeek's Anthropic-compatible Messages API with the native
web_search_20250305 server tool and parses the structured
web_search_tool_result blocks into the ctx.web seam's WebSearchResult.
- Namespace plugin (inject: ['web']), no default export — registers into
ctx.web like dsh-llm-deepseek registers into ctx.llm.
- Strict mode: a response with no web_search_tool_result block throws
WEB_PROVIDER_ERROR rather than scraping URLs from model prose.
- Reuses $DEEPSEEK_API_KEY; baseURL defaults to the Anthropic-compatible
base (api.deepseek.com/anthropic/v1) and does NOT reuse
$DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL, which belongs to the chat-completions LLM adapter.
- snippet joined from text-block citations; sources deduped by url.
- Two-stage build layout (outDir lib/types) matching the other web
packages; registered in tsconfig.json, tsconfig.build.json, knip.json,
and docs/module-graph.md.
