The roots are an assembly fact (the shipped set beside this app's config,
the user's own under $DSH_HOME) but only `dsh web` patched them in, so the
merged `dsh run` booted the roster with no roots and failed resolving
`standard`. The shared profile boot now owns the patch for every launcher;
the one-shot transcript header consequently records its composing preset,
and master's interrupt_agent tool joins the standard composition's exact
catalog.
The web YAML editor is gone. agentPreset.write (arbitrary composition
text) became agentPreset.copy { from, agentPreset, name? }: a host-side
whole-directory copy of ids the host resolves itself — symlinks
dereferenced, modes re-tightened to owner-only with owner-execute kept,
metadata rewritten to keep the source's description but never its name or
roster order. No composition text or path crosses the wire in either
authoring direction, and the entryListSchema/!!js concern dissolves with
assertComposition itself.
The settings section becomes: a read-only viewer over shipped
compositions, a copy dialog (id + optional display name) as the only
create entry, delete for custom rows, and a location action leading into
the preset's own files — agentPreset.openDocument { agentPreset } resolves
the directory host-side and opens it natively, or answers
{ opened: false, path } for the row to show as text where the deployment
has no desktop. agentPreset.list reports hasDocument beside authorable;
the gateway's nativeOpen config pins the capability where
canOpenNativePath platform detection would mislead. The privileged set is
now read/copy/openDocument/remove.
With files as the only composition editor, standing mounts grew
stamp-keyed generations: ensureStanding compares the composition file's
mtime+size and starts the next generation for later sessions, while every
joined session keeps the generation it runs on.
New keyless web lane (agent-preset-authoring, overlay pins
nativeOpen: false so goldens render one branch on every platform) drives
view/copy/reveal/delete end to end; the real-composition CLI e2e switches
to copy semantics.
The composer's preset seat stays removed here — this layer moved it to the
hero chip and the session-header action — so only the model seat takes the
`modelSeatLocked` narrowing master introduced.

The Client API carrier's `agentPresets` member was the one member of its class

into the emitted declaration by the specifier TS picks — the host `index.ts` —
dragging the whole gateway, and with it the host `Context` merges, into every
Client program importing the carrier. Annotated like its siblings.
`ApiRemoteAgentOptions.setup` now takes the inspected session rather than its
header alone: this layer resolves a resumed session's preset from the LOG,
because a session that switched while blank ran its turns under the newer
composition and the header is written once at creation.

Source-level environment and credential tests prove the individual loaders, but they do not prove that the published launcher runs them before Loader evaluates a shipped profile.
Start the built dsh binary with the shipped base bundle and a test-only LLM probe. Put the endpoint in $DSH_HOME/.env, put the bearer token only in $DSH_HOME/.credentials.yaml, remove inherited DeepSeek overrides, and assert the mock request received both without leaking the token. This covers launch order, profile composition, the adapter, and the credential seam without a real API.
The cordis preset moved `bash-env`, the `subagents` registry, and its
spawn/fork backends into entry-local realms. A host row that injects a service
is the criterion for host-plane ownership: `apps/cli/src/web.ts` injects
`bash-env`, and `dsh-host-apiproxy` injects `subagents` to answer the
browser's cross-session queries, so both waited forever for a service only
sessions provided. A provider name also registers once, so the second session
would have collided regardless.
This layer introduces the preset, so it is where the plane belongs — a later
layer already corrected it, which left this layer and the docs one unmountable
on their own. The composition test stops disabling `api-gateway` with it: the
row whose pending injection names the break cannot be the row the test turns
off, so the boot audit now covers the whole host-plane injection graph.
`apps/cli/config/base.cordis.yml` and `web.cordis.yml` no longer exist — the
bundle split replaced them with `packages/bundle/{base,web-app}/cordis.patch.yml`
— so this file booted a path that was deleted under it and every CI run since
the merge failed at `ENOENT`.
It now boots what `dsh web` boots: an empty preset root with the two bundle
patches over it. That root sits outside the workspace, so bare plugin names
cannot resolve by Node's upward walk and the flat module fallback the preset
boot maintains is what makes them resolvable — the same mechanism, not a
test-only shim. That fallback links each package's PUBLISHED entry, so this
file now consumes the artifact plane and moves to the lane that builds first
(`.e2e.ts`, beside `built-bin.e2e.ts`), rather than the coverage lane, which
installs and runs on a clean tree.
`ui-question`'s node half called `ctx.tools.register` on the host context.
`ScopedLayers.merge()` combines the global layer with the agent's exact-scope
layer, and an unscoped registration lands in the global one — so the tool
reached every agent no matter which preset composed it. `core-web`, sold as a
two-tool benchmark surface, really presented three.
Rendering a question is a host UI capability; having the tool is an agent
capability, and only a preset decides that. The node half is now empty and the
`tool-ask-user` row moved into the preset that wants it. The TUI keeps its own
row, having no presets.
The composition tests now assert the global tool layer is EMPTY, which is the
invariant that would have caught this: any tool outside a preset reaches every
agent. The browser lane's composition, seeded-history, and hermetic-skill
assertions address their registries through a composed agent for the same
reason — those services are per session now, and the host cannot resolve an
`isolate` realm by name.
The shipped surface stopped being two yml files: `base.cordis.yml` and
`web.cordis.yml` are bundle patch layers now, applied over an empty preset
root. This test still opened the old paths, so it failed before asserting
anything. It composes the same two layers the profile boot composes, over the
same empty root, and heals the flat module fallback the way the boot does —
the root lives outside this workspace, so bare plugin names have no other way
to resolve.
The web bundle's runtime row is disabled beside the webserver: it injects
`httpServer`, so a disabled port leaves it pending forever. It owns dist
serving and the URL prompt line, neither of which decides an agent's
capabilities.
`apps/cli` declares the packages the shipped agent presets name again. The
bundle split emptied its plugin dependencies, and the flat fallback links only
the app's dependency closure — so a preset row naming `dsh-persona` resolved
to nothing, and every preset mount failed. Which packages the shipped
presets compose is not implied by any bundle: the presets live beside this
app's config, so this app is what has to declare them.
Code Mode was a deployment-wide field on the host `tools` row: a
deployment ran every session that way or none. The obvious product
shape — 代码模式 beside 标准/极简/创造 in the preset picker — had
nothing to hang on.
The registry itself cannot move into a preset; the agent loop's
scheduler, the api-proxy's presenters, and every tool plugin are its
consumers. So split the registry from its projection: `presentAs(mode)`
writes one cell on the calling agent's scope layer, exactly as
`restrict()` does, and the three reads that decided presentation take
that scope's mode instead of the service's. The config `mode` becomes
the default agents shadow rather than a process-wide fact.
Two consequences are load-bearing. `run_code` now enters a view only
for scopes whose own mode presents it — a native agent must not find it
dispatchable because another agent in the process does — and the
reserved name holds whatever the configured mode, since any agent may
select a code mode later.
`dsh-agent-tool-mode` is the row a preset carries to declare this. A
code mode waits for the host's `codeRuntime` rather than assuming it,
so a runtime-less deployment fails the preset at mount, naming the
row, instead of at the session's first request.
The shipped `code` preset is `standard` plus that row, ordered second.
The browser e2e lane had been failing wholesale since this stack moved the
agent plane into presets, and nothing caught it: 34 of 48 files. Two of the
causes are product defects, not test breakage.
`bashEnv` goes back to the host plane. `apps/cli/src/web.ts` injects it to
publish `DSH_WEB_URL`/`DSH_WEB_MODE`, so the earlier note that "nothing outside
the agent plane injects bashEnv" was simply wrong — behind a preset's `shell`
realm those variables reached no shell at all, and a `dsh web` agent could not
find the address of its own interface. This is the same criterion that returned
`subagents`: a host row that injects a service resolves before any session
exists and has no agent to key by, so the service is host-plane. `tool-bash`
consumes the host registry from inside the preset, which works because an
agent context chains to the host; only the reverse is invisible.
`tool-subagent-report` goes back with it. It is not a tool this agent calls: it
registers a continuable SETUP on the host `subagents` singleton, and that list
is not scope-aware. One copy per mounted preset meant every child was handed
`report` once per live session, so the second registration threw and a cold
subagent resume failed with `subagent-not-resumable` — a diagnostic three
layers removed from the cause.
The lane's own composition facts follow. Skill roots resolve inside a preset
now, a subtree include patches cannot reach, so the scaffold pins the roots'
documented environment fallback for its whole lifetime rather than for the boot
— presets mount per session. Without it the developer's real `~/.dsh/skills`
enters replay requests and goldens while CI sees none. The `apps/cli`
composition test pins `storage-json` for the same reason: unpinned it wrote,
and then read back, the developer's own `~/.dsh/storages/`.
Three tests now address through an agent what they used to read off the root
context, because that is where the thing lives: the tool catalog, the skill
registry, and the token meter. The seeded-history projection baseline asserts
the opposite of what it did — a detached session yields a preset-plane
projection only from a durable checkpoint written while it was live, and this
seed was written straight to persistence and never ran.
Goldens re-recorded for the hero's preset chip and the settings nav entry.
`core-web` said neither of the things that matter about it. The `-web`
suffix is a leftover from the whole-process `core-web.cordis.yml` overlay,
and presets are per-session and not web-specific. `core` reads as "the
foundational one" when it is in fact the one with the fewest capabilities.
`minimal` says what it is and orders the shipped set legibly by capability:
minimal, standard, cordis.
Breaking: a session created under `core-web` records that id in its header
and will fail to resolve it on resume. Nothing outside this repository has
shipped, so no migration path is offered.
The identically named `config/core-web.cordis.yml` — the legacy
whole-process overlay behind the web snapshot test — is a different thing
and keeps its name.
`ui-question`'s node half called `ctx.tools.register` on the host context.
`ScopedLayers.merge()` combines the global layer with the agent's exact-scope
layer, and an unscoped registration lands in the global one — so the tool
reached every agent no matter which preset composed it. `core-web`, sold as
a two-tool benchmark surface, really presented three, and a locally authored
`bash-only` preset presented two.
Rendering a question is a host UI capability; having the tool is an agent
capability, and only a preset decides that. The node half is now empty and
the `tool-ask-user` row moved into the presets that want it. The TUI keeps
its own row, having no presets.
The web composition test now asserts the global tool layer is EMPTY, which
is the invariant that would have caught this: any tool outside a preset
reaches every agent.
`dsh web` failed to boot: the aggressive plane split moved `subagents` and
its spawn/fork backends into the preset's entry-local realm, but
`dsh-host-apiproxy` is a host row that injects `subagents` to answer the
browser's cross-session queries, so it waited forever for a service only
sessions now provided. A per-session copy is wrong twice over — a provider
name registers once, so the second session would have collided anyway.
The registry and its backends go back to the host composition; the presets
keep the delegation TOOLS, which resolve that host registry. `workflows`
stays entry-local: nothing outside an agent reads it.
The web real-composition test could not have caught this, because it
disabled `api-gateway` — the very row whose pending injection names the
break. It now boots with the api-proxy enabled and the browse directory
picker substituted, so the boot audit covers the whole host-plane injection
graph. Re-introducing the old split makes it fail with the three pending
entries, which is how this was verified.
A composition is a file, but "edit it on the filesystem" is not a browser
affordance. The roster gains `read`/`write`/`remove` beside `select`, and
the browser gains a settings section over them: the presets as rows, one
composition open in a YAML editor at a time, and per-row default, duplicate,
and delete.
All four authoring methods are loopback-pinned. A composition names the
plugins a session runs, so reading one is reconnaissance, writing one is
arbitrary capability, and selecting one can move a session onto a preset
that edits the live runtime. `agentPreset.list` deliberately stays ordinary
and now reports `authorable`, so a surface knows whether creating is
possible at all rather than offering a button whose save always fails.
Authoring starts by duplicating: a shipped preset opens read-only because
the deployment's copy is what a broken local one is compared against. Ids
are contained before they become directory names, and the text is parsed
with the loader's own schema, so a save cannot leave a file no session
could load.
Fixes a defect the real-composition test found: a preset written under the
user's home could never mount, because the loader resolves a row against the
composition's own directory and Node's `node_modules` walk from there never
reaches the installed harness. The mount now records the host base and sends
bare specifiers there, leaving relative paths resolving from the preset.
Also closes the coverage the earlier surfaces in this stack shipped without —
the General row, the composer seat, and the plugin halves now have tests.
A third built-in preset: the standard coding agent plus the self-referential
Cordis toolset, a persona that explains the two-plane split, and a skill
teaching composition authoring. It exists so a person can ask an agent to
author another agent.
The skill ships INSIDE the preset directory rather than in the user's skill
root, and the root is derived from the preset's own `baseUrl` — the loader
evaluates `!!js` with `with (ctx)`, so a composition can locate itself. A
preset is the unit that gets copied and edited, so its documentation should
travel with it.
The skill leads with the rule that actually bites: a row publishing a service
may not sit loose in a preset, whether a row publishes one is not visible from
its name (`tool-bash` provides `bashEnv`), and a consumer left outside its
provider's isolate group resolves the host registry and then contributes
nothing — the quietest failure this design has.
Writing the test surfaced a consequence worth stating: an entry-local realm
makes the service invisible to the agent's own scope too, not just to the host.
Only rows inside that group resolve it, which is precisely what makes
`tool-skill` this agent's own rather than a shared one. The test asserts what
is actually observable from outside instead of reaching for the isolated
service.
TRUST: `cordis_mount` evaluates model-written JavaScript against the live
runtime, and a composition this agent writes becomes a preset other sessions
mount. Both the preset header and the toolset's own documentation say to treat
this as shell access. The tools stay opt-in per session — a test pins that they
are absent from every other preset.
The creation header names the preset a session STARTED with and is frozen,
which is correct — it is a creation fact. Switching is legal only while a
session is blank, and that looked like enough: no history exists yet.
It is not, because the switch's effect outlives the blank window. The user
switches, then sends the first message; every turn from there runs under the
new composition while the header still names the old one. The session is
then locked around a misrecorded preset, and resume reads the header to
rebuild it — composing one preset's tools over a history another produced,
which is exactly the replay the blank-only lock exists to prevent, reached
by another route. A picker showed `standard` for a session running
`core-web`.
A switch is now an `agent-preset/selected` event appended after the swap
commits, and `resolveSessionPreset()` (last selection, else the header) is
what every reconstruction reads: the summary, resume, the conflict guard,
and the fork introduced one layer down.
`config.default` becomes the composition base of an `agent-presets` settings
namespace, so the user document layers over the deployment's engineering
default and a person can change which preset new sessions get without a
restart.
The value is read per resolution rather than snapshotted: a hot-reloaded
document takes effect on the next session created, and every running session
stays on the preset it was composed from — which is the same rule the
session-header guard enforces from the other side.
`resolve()` read `config.default` directly, which would have made the whole
setting inert; it now goes through `defaultId` like every other caller.
The write-protection test is rewritten against a temp profile root. It was
passing vacuously: the un-overridden Loader REWRITES the composition it read —
stamping `disabled: true` onto the self-disposing row — so the committed
fixture had been mutated by the very run that proved the bug, and every later
run compared against the damaged file and passed. Building the preset in a
temp directory makes the assertion immune to its own failure mode, and it now
fails with a visible `+ disabled: true` when the override is removed.
Review follow-ups on this layer. The exported schema is
`AgentPresetSettingsSchema`, symmetric with the `AgentPresetSettings`
interface it resolves and self-describing at an import site. The `session.create`
JSDoc promised "the deployment's default preset" for an omitted `agentPreset`,
which this layer makes false — it now names the effective default. The
constructor records why it does not use `installSettingsSection`: that helper
re-judges what a consumer DERIVED across attach and detach, and nothing here is
derived. The provider-unload test disposes the fiber `ctx.plugin()` handed back
instead of reaching into `ctx.reflect.store`, and the write-protection wait says
why slack is the right shape for an absence assertion.
The real composition covers the layering too. `apps/cli` boots the shipped
`cordis.yml`, stores `agent-presets.default`, and asserts an unnamed session
composes from it — the package suite proves the layering against a hand-built
context, this proves the roster and the settings provider are wired to each
other. That test also pins the settings row at a temp file: it defaulted to
`$DSH_HOME/settings.yaml`, so a developer's own stored default decided the
outcome of a file whose whole point is that only the shipped root does.
The Agent Note records the per-resolution read and its correspondence with the
session header, and the vacuous-test finding above.
None of these change behavior; each said something that was not true.
`SessionCwdConflict`'s doc block had been left stranded above the
`AgentPresetConflict` inserted under it, so one class carried a comment
about the other and the second carried none.
The roster comment named a `.system` directory that does not exist; the
shipped root is `config/agent-presets/`, and `system` is the trust its
entries carry.
The real-composition test attributed the disabled `api-gateway` row to
"side effects outside this process" alongside the port and the exporter.
It is disabled for a different reason — the api-proxy cannot mount in
this layer at all — and hiding that behind the same phrase would leave a
later layer unable to tell whether the line can come out.
One test claimed to refuse an adoption while asserting only that the
header records the preset; it now says what it checks.
`PERSONA_SECTION`/`PERSONA_ORDER` existed twice, once in the registry
that declares the slot and once restated in the row that replaces it —
a drift that would land a preset's persona beside the deployment's
instead of shadowing it. The registry exports them now.
The preset conflict message read "already runs agent preset undefined"
for a session that records none, which is the shape a deployment with no
roster produces; it names that case instead, with the regression that
reaches it through the gateway.
Finally, `PresetTree.write()` drops the `loader/config-update` the
inherited method emits — recorded on the override, since a future
edit-while-running flow needs its own persistence path.
Two consequences of moving the agent plane behind presets, both invisible
until the host plane stopped carrying model-facing rows.
`sessions.fork` built its child with a bare `installTarget` and a `meta`
without `agentPreset`. That was harmless while every tool sat in the host
plane — the child inherited them for free. It now comes up with an EMPTY
tool set. The child composes the parent's preset instead, for the same
reason a resumed session keeps its own: the seeded history was produced
under those tools.
`bashEnv` lives in its own `dsh-bash-env` row rather than inside
`tool-bash`, so a preset that isolates the realm must compose the provider
beside its consumer; the host row is disabled here like every other
model-facing one. Nothing outside the agent plane injects `bashEnv`, so it
stays per-session.
The Web overlay disables base's 32 agent-plane rows and mounts the preset
roster instead, so each session composes its own tools and prompt rather than
sharing one process-wide set. The TUI keeps base unchanged: it is single-session
and composing its agent process-wide is correct there.
`roots` is patched in by AppCLIEntry, like `distIndex`: the shipped presets sit
beside the composition that names them and the user's live under the Harness
home, neither of which a config author chooses.
A session's preset is fixed at creation. Naming a different one for an existing
identity is `agent-preset-conflict` rather than a switch, because that
session's history was produced under the first preset's tools. The guard sits
after `await creation`, beside the cwd check, so it covers every path that
yields a live agent — freshly created, adopted live, resumed, or recovered by
the concurrent-creation catch. A request naming no preset adopts the session as
it is, keeping reconnect and retry ordinary.
Two bugs the real-composition test caught, both invisible to unit tests:
`PresetTree` now refuses to write. The Loader persists a tree whose plugin
self-disposed, and tearing an agent down disposes its whole subtree — inherited,
that rewrote the shipped composition, truncating a 241-line preset to `[]` the
first time a session ended.
`dsh-tool-skill` compared against a lookup of its own name in the global layer,
so it threw inside any preset: `register()` files into the calling context's
scope. It now compares against the definition it registered, which is what the
identity check meant all along.
The `standard` catalog is asserted exactly, not spot-checked: a row that
registers into the wrong layer mounts cleanly and simply contributes nothing, so
an omission is this design's quietest failure. It matches the shipped TUI
catalog plus `glob`/`grep`, the pair that composition documents as
ripgrep-dependent.
Re-records `cordis-inspect-jsdoc`, whose rendered `SessionHeader` gains the
`agentPreset` field. `fs-glob-sampling` fails identically on pristine master
and is untouched here.
The browser e2e scaffold gains the roster fact AppCLIEntry supplies. `roots` is
resolved and patched in by the CLI entry, like `distIndex` on the webserver row,
and this lane boots the shipped tree without that entry — so it has to supply
the same fact or the roster resolves nothing and every session in the lane
composes an agent with no tools, no persona, and no token meter. Only the
shipped root: a developer's own `~/.dsh/.agent-presets` must not decide a golden. The
`cordis:group` builtin comes with it, exactly as `boot()` registers it, because
a preset resolving package names from its own directory cannot reach
`@cordisjs/plugin-group` by name.
The lane stays red through this layer and the next four for the reason stated
above — the api-proxy injects `subagents`, `workspace`, and `tools`, so
`api-gateway` cannot activate and the browser has no `/api` at all. It goes
green again in the layer that returns those registries to the host plane; this
change is what makes that layer's fix sufficient rather than partial.
