Authoring meets standing mounts: write() and remove() drop the standing
pointer so the NEXT session composes the edited roster, while every session
already joined keeps the generation it runs on — a superseded generation is
never disposed while the process lives. The settings-dialog golden re-records
with this layer's Agent Preset nav entry, which the incoming layer-3 record
had overwritten.
recompose becomes a parent re-link: the new preset's standing mount is
ensured BEFORE the link moves, so a failed switch leaves the agent exactly as
it was — the unmount-then-restore dance (and unmountPresetFor with it) is
gone, and the restore-failure test now asserts the agent KEEPS its tools with
the source directory deleted, because the standing mount is not the file.
Rewires this layer onto the standing-mount model:
- serviceForAgent roots its search at the agent's standing mount (parent
scope key → live mount fiber) — the composition no longer lives under the
agent's own fiber, and two agents on one preset now address ONE instance,
which the sharing test asserts instead of distinctness.
- viewFor/historyPage take a registry view SCOPE. A live agent is that scope;
a cold read uses the recorded preset's standing key via standingKeyFor —
composing plugins but starting no agent, session, or turn. A header without
a preset (a pre-roster log) renders through the DEFAULT preset's standing
layer; an unusable preset degrades the read to generic cards, never fails
it. This turns produced-files and chat-scroll green structurally, with the
token counts untouched (no resume, so the projections fold stays detached).
- The detached projections baseline now includes every standing unit's key at
its empty fold (todos: null): the standing mount registers units
deterministically, which is what makes the client's "omitted key =
capability absence → clear" rule safe again. seeded-history's contract test
asserts the new shape.
- The standard preset's realm preamble no longer claims a shared label pools
instances — provide() throws on the second registration under one realm
symbol; labels join REALMS.
A preset is now ONE composition per process, not one per session. The roster
mounts it once under a synthetic standing scope; each agent joins by having
its scope key parented to the mount's. Two mechanisms in dsh-scope carry the
whole change: registration views walk the parent chain (global → preset →
agent, nearest shadowing farthest — ScopedLayers.chainLayers), and scoped
event dispatch admits a listener tagged with an ancestor of the carrier key,
which is what lets a standing composition's plan/compaction/token listeners
observe each agent composed under it while a sibling preset's stay deaf.
The preset plugins already key their state by Session/Agent — they predate
presets and were written for the shared world — so sharing one instance is a
return to their design, not a rewrite. Preset ymls are unchanged: one mount
per preset means one Entry per preset, whose entry-local realms keep two
presets' services apart exactly as they kept two sessions' apart before.
The standing scope hangs off the service's UNTRACED context (selfCtx): a
method invoked through the traceable proxy sees this.ctx rebound to the
caller and carrying its shadow, and a subtree minted from that resolves every
service through the shadow's fiber instead of each entry's own inject store —
preset rows then fail on the very services they declare.
A standing mount survives its agents deliberately. The composition a running
session joined must outlive the file changing or disappearing underneath it;
reclamation happens at whole-tree teardown, and file edits reach only future
generations (the authoring layer swaps the pointer, never disposes a joined
generation).
