Master removed the stdio demo (#702c8cc30) — accept the deletion; this
branch's packChunks passthrough survives in acp-demo (auto-merged), and
cli-demo/tui-demo arrived from master without one (the follow-up snapshot
PR decides which demos expose the switch). Generated catalogs regenerated
over merged sources; the hand-written session.md durability paragraph
re-weaves this branch's lossless-encoding wording with master's invariant-
companion sentence.
The smoke's inline Python pty driver only ran on POSIX (no termios on
Windows). Rebuild every scenario — banner sweep, scripted conversation with
model switch, /skill:, Code Mode overlay, resume failure, and the dsh CLI
suite (default boot, personal overlay, invalid overlay, --resume flag,
source-path prompt) — as marker-gated action lists on pty-harness.ts, which
drives ConPTY via node-pty on Windows and the Python driver elsewhere. The
harness gains configArgs (bins with built-in default configs), prepare
(workspace seeding), and inspect (post-run log assertions); examples/
declares the session-title provider the shipped cordis.yml now mounts.
Master's log-backed session-title capability already titles sessions durably
(deterministic fallback in the spine, optional model providers). Remove the
TUI's own autoTitle generation — the latch, prompt, cap, and llm stream call —
and keep the terminal rename: the TUI folds the logged title on mount and sets
'<session title> — <configured title>' on every accepted session/title event.
The tui-agent example and the scripted PTY fixture mount
session-title-first-message-llm so titles stay model-made; the scripted
adapter's tool-less branch now answers that provider's auxiliary request.
See .agents/notes/implemented/simplification/2026-07-22-tui-titles-from-session-title-service.md
The acp escalation smoke advertises the shipped deepseek-v4-pro; the
workspace-context e2e asserts the per-candidate scope key. The PTY harness
drops COLORTERM (deterministic banner) and gains configArgs/prepare/inspect
for the dsh CLI scenarios.
Replace /mode [name] with same-named no-argument commands such as /plan. Update the TUI and ACP snapshots, and validate mode names against command syntax.
pi-ai 0.80 restructured its entrypoints: the static catalog reads now
live on /providers/all as getBuiltinModels/getBuiltinProviders (keyed by
the catalog-only BuiltinProvider type, replacing KnownProvider at those
call sites), and the global streamSimple moved to /compat. The config
schema gains the new 'max' reasoning level.
The built-bin fail-loud test needs the TTY refusal before Loader boot (a
compose-time throw is logged per-entry, not rethrown); the PTY driver drops
COLORTERM so a developer's truecolor shell cannot flip the banner to the
gradient path mid-assertion; the scripted fixture persists raw JSONL so the
smoke's system-prompt inspection can read the log.
- acp/headless whole-config snapshot patches restate persistenceCompression:
none so raw JSONL fixtures stay harvestable, and re-pin the recorded
deepseek-v4-flash where the shipped config moved to pro
- depth-two overlay gains the app-config re-pin master's other overlays carry
- headless-agent stays on flash: goal/ralph overlays include it via a nested
include, which a config patch cannot reach to re-pin
- workspace-context scenarios re-record their session fixtures for the
per-candidate scope keys and both-siblings loading; acp session fixtures
otherwise return to master's (session/title + delegationDepth events)
workspace-context's abort-tool test uses agent.cancel({kind:'user'}) (master's
AgentCancelCause shape); tui-demo forwards no welcome when none is configured.
Post-rebase reconciliation of the two TUI lines that evolved in parallel:
- header subtitle prefers the latest logged session title over the configured
welcome; the process-local auto-title owns the whole terminal title while a
logged session/title still wins through the suffixed form
- footer keeps staging's model/cwd/usage/cache layout and gains master's
context-percent segment; per-step usage dedup carries cache buckets
- test harness only stubs the llm catalog when the test did not mount the
real LlmService, and defaults the TUI clock to the real Date.now
- the plugin-shaped /reload test composes commands+llm like the shipped app
Squashes feat/personal-config-dsh-home: personal config.yaml and .env move
from ~/.config/dsh to the Harness home (~/.dsh), plus the module-graph,
lockfile, and i18n pairing regeneration that followed.
Make todo_write opt-in for the tui-agent example (disabled by default; TUI
still renders plans when the tool is loaded). Both enabled and disabled cases
covered by tests.
Squashes feat/install-script, feat/install-default-master, and
install-skip-clone: DSH_REF defaults to master, and running the script from
inside an existing checkout reuses it and skips the clone.
Squashes feat/tui-cache-hit-rate and feat/tui-verbose-status: the footer
shows cache hit rate and the running status line reports turn phase with
elapsed timing.
Load a per-directory local overlay in addition to the base instruction
file, matching the Claude Code AGENTS.local.md / CLAUDE.local.md
convention for git-ignored personal guidance.
- New config `localInstructionFileCandidates`, default
`['AGENTS.local.md', 'CLAUDE.local.md']`; empty disables the overlay.
The default lives in the plugin Config schema, so every front door
(TUI/ACP/headless) reads .local. files consistently.
- Per project directory the plugin loads the first-existing base
candidate, then additively the first-existing local candidate,
rendered after the base so it takes precedence within the byte budget.
- Base and local tiers get distinct scope keys via a NUL sentinel
(scopeKey/decodeScopeKey) so they never collide in the baseline map,
pending window, or version cache.
- The fixed user-global $DSH_HOME/AGENTS.md stays base-only.
Docs: README (config, lifecycle, Known Limitations), regenerated
config-catalog, and a new bilingual Agent Note cross-linked to the
owning workspace-context note. 100% per-file coverage retained.
Squashes three linearized steps (feat/tui-startup, feat/banner-reveal,
feat/remove-banner): the banner experiment converged on removing the
startup banner entirely; later commits restore it borderless and add the
brand gradient.
Squash of the linearized fix/tui-color-scheme-v2 merge and the follow-up
catalog regeneration. Renders error cause chains at every diagnostic seam
(origin/fetch-failed-diagnostics) and adds color scheme detection with a
light-terminal palette.
Delete packages/ui/stdio and examples/repl-agent; rename stdio-demo to
@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui-demo (TUI-only, refuses pipes before Loader boot).
tui-agent owns the coding composition inline; echo-agent and the CI demo
smoke move to the one-shot cli-demo bin, which gains -p/--prompt. The
UI-independent with-key e2es move verbatim to tui-agent. SDK wizard's
'stdio' interface becomes 'tui'. PTY testing stays confined to TUI
surfaces; all other subprocess tests ride pipes.
