The parent implementation introduced sandboxMode and approvalPolicy as generic SessionHeader fields, then propagated those fields through both persistence backends, session-query indexes, collision checks, policy-specific seed-boundary folds, catalogs, and a broad test matrix. That storage plane is unnecessary: Session already accepts a validated constructor seed, and persistence captures that seed when the session is announced before committing its first batch.
Capture each parent override synchronously at delegation, append source-tagged sandbox/mode and approval/policy records after the optional fork prefix, and create the child with that combined seed. Keeping header.seedLength at the original fork-prefix length preserves lineage while ordinary last-event-wins folds make the inherited records outrank stale parent history and remain subordinate to later child switches. Unswitched parents still stamp nothing, so children continue to follow deployment defaults.
Remove the generic header fields and every persistence/query/schema branch built around them. Collapse the inheritance suite from ten leaking scenarios to four owned-context cases covering real filesystem confinement, stale fork precedence, delegation-time capture, and the no-override path. The assembled headless snapshot now asserts the persisted inheritance event directly.
This keeps the security behavior while restoring policy ownership to the existing event log and deleting the speculative durability machinery that the original tests did not exercise.
Retarget the feature branch to the current master tip without rewriting its existing review history. Keeping this as a dedicated merge checkpoint makes the later simplification diff attributable to the stacked child rather than mixing base movement with design changes.
Resolve the identified-message API drift in the feature tests by constructing complete user messages, reading the nested tool-result message shape, and adapting the prompt-submit listener signature. Preserve both sides of the user-approval conflict: master’s createUserMessage wrapper and the feature’s inherited-policy attribution.
Regenerate the Cordis and persistence catalogs, re-record the session README pair, and refresh the affected ACP/headless fixtures so derived artifacts describe the merged source rather than either parent in isolation.
Validated with the focused policy/session/persistence/query suites (430 tests), focused ACP/headless snapshots (3 tests), build, doc-sync (25 gates), lint, hygiene, and git diff checks.
The paragraph claimed later child output reaches only the scrollback. Output
after a settle still reaches the scrollback and whichever send is active when
it arrives — appendOutput writes both (session.ts:302-307), and settleActive
clears `active` rather than suppressing delivery. Only the settled operation
stops receiving it, which is what the timing bound protects.
master already stabilized the raw-mode SIGINT scenario in 65e0ffe03 and
3be090f1d with wider scenario-owned bounds and deliberately delayed child
readiness, so the merge takes master's test implementation. What this branch
keeps is the contract that explains why those bounds are required: the note
paragraph on the settle boundary in PtySendOperation.append, and the
waitForOutput comment recording that raising its deadline alone cannot
recover output the send never collected.
The Agent Note paragraph recorded test-specific timing advice, which
docs/AGENTS.md excludes from implemented notes. The durable half of it —
LocalSendOperation.append drops output after settle, so it survives only in
the scrollback — now documents append itself.
The local PTY readiness poll held its inferred_idle fallback for exactly
one pollIntervalMs after a prompt marker, so a bash foreground handoff
that lands on the silence boundary only wins the exact stdin_read
attribution when the kernel publishes it inside that single poll. On a
slow or loaded host it does not, and the attribution flips.
handoffGraceMs replaces the hardcoded one-poll window as a validated,
deployment-owned config field defaulting to 500ms, rejected at load when
it cannot contain one readiness poll. Real-shell tests that interrupt a
send now assert the session is usable again rather than which readiness
tier observed the handoff, because no fixed grace removes the race.
The darwin-parity job failed intermittently on the SIGINT test with the
operation buffer holding only the echoed command line, never RAW_READY. The
harness sets idleSilenceMs to 250, so when a cold python3 start stays silent
past that bound the send settles as inferred_idle; PtySendOperation.append then
drops all later output, and the marker reaches only the scrollback.
Give the harness per-test idleSilenceMs/timeoutMs overrides and let this
scenario raise both above interpreter startup latency, so the readiness marker
lands inside the send it belongs to. waitForOutput's own deadline and the test
timeout grow to match the new bounds.
The product timings are unchanged; the pty Agent Note records why a test that
waits on an operation must outlast the child's startup.
Review fix (ds-review-bot critical #2 on #623): the first-turn event stamp
had a durability hole no turn anchoring can close — an idle SessionStart-
style injection persists a complete one-shot turn before any prompt turn
opens, so a crash in that window left a resumable-looking child with no
inherited policy, falling back to a possibly wider deployment default.
The captured overrides now ride the child's creation meta into its
immutable SessionHeader (sandboxMode/approvalPolicy, neutral strings at the
session boundary — the delegationDepth precedent), durable from the moment
the session exists: no listener ordering can starve the baseline and no
crash window can lose it. overrideOf(session) on both policy services
resolves fold(events past header.seedLength) ?? header baseline, validating
against the closed vocabulary on read; stampOverride and the prompt-submit
listener machinery are deleted. The header field rides both persistence
backends (JSONL header line; SQLite sessions columns, SCHEMA_VERSION 11 —
pre-release, no migration). pty-local reads through overrideOf so PTY
spawns see the baseline too.
Red-first: header-durability-before-any-turn test (the injection crash
window shape), baseline/seed-boundary/closed-vocabulary contract tests in
both service suites; the real-wall suite (race, veto, fork stale-seed,
grandchild) re-anchored on header assertions and green. The Agent Note's
Alternatives now records the superseded event-stamping iteration with the
review evidence; bilingual docs updated.
Review direction (tianyicui, PR #660): in a stacked PR, change all other
process-running places to use the new service.
- lsp-local: LspConnection spawns through ctx.subprocess (piped protocol
streams + a no-spill collected stderr tail); its private process-tree
helpers (POSIX group signalling, Windows taskkill, liveness polling) are
deleted in favor of the seam's handle verbs, and its buildChildEnv now
rides scrubbedParentEnv (LSP children also stop inheriting stale DSH_*).
The plugin injects 'subprocess'; compositions/tests mount
dsh-subprocess-local.
- subagent-acp: the ACP child spawns through the seam (piped ndjson streams,
inherited stderr); spawn failure surfaces through done-rejection into the
same startup race; disposal is handle.dispose with the plugin's configured
graces. dsh-subagent-subprocess is DELETED — its dispose ladder and scrub
are the seam's, and the isolated-config-dir helper had no consumer.
- mcp-client, pty-local, sdk-helper: adopt scrubbedParentEnv as the one
scrub definition (their spawns stay put by ownership: the MCP SDK and
node-pty own those calls; the SDK wizard runs outside any composition).
- Coverage: per-file 100% over every touched src file, with each v8 ignore
carrying a platform or contract reason; new suites cover stdio
dispositions, the dispose ladder tiers, injected-win32 tree semantics,
waitForExit, settled-kill/terminate no-ops, and spawn-failure disposal.
- Docs: consumer-migration Agent Note (en; zh follows in this PR), seam note
updated in place, subprocess.md rewritten for the reshaped vocabulary
(type-equiv re-registered), READMEs and SERVICE_ROLES updated, taskkill
added to knip ignoreBinaries.
Review feedback (tianyicui, PR #657 inline): the missing-service message
should mention dsh-tasks, which defines ctx.tasks, rather than promoting a
specific backend. The seam's own surfaces (README, the direct-mount fence)
keep pointing at implementations, so the pointer chain still lands on
dsh-tasks-local without the producer strings going stale when another
backend becomes the recommended default. Agent Note updated accordingly
(en+zh, re-recorded).
Review finding (Codex round 1): abstract erases at runtime and
@deepseek-ai/dsh-tasks used to be the mountable registry, so a stale
composition row would register a ctx.tasks with no method implementations
and fail far from the misconfiguration. The seam constructor now rejects
direct mounts with a load-time pointer at dsh-tasks-local; the seam suite
pins the fence, the Agent Note cost paragraph records the actual behavior,
and the stale tool-pty README requirement line names the implementation
package.
The tasks/ family now matches the capability-seam shape: @deepseek-ai/dsh-tasks
keeps the abstract TaskService (ctx.tasks contract, vocabulary types, snapshot
invariant companion) and the new @deepseek-ai/dsh-tasks-local carries the
process-local registry (LocalTaskService: in-memory store, settlement,
owner-cleanup effects, teardown, TASK_WAIT_TIMEOUT). Compositions and test
harnesses now load dsh-tasks-local; producers, TaskKindMap merges, and
dsh-tool-tasks keep importing the seam only.
Producer misconfiguration diagnostics name dsh-tasks-local because loading the
implementation is the fix. The registry behavior suite moves to tasks-local;
the seam keeps a stub-subclass registration test and the probe-based invariant
suite.
Keep inherited child prompt markers bounded by the normal silence fallback. Stage web-plugin rescans atomically and retain missing watch state until a successful rebuild.
