Two review findings (#220) on the sandbox context façade:
- Undeclared services were reachable: the façade resolved any live global via
ctx.get(name), so ctx.bash worked without inject: ['bash']. A cross-mount
consumer could then depend on a provider cordis never saw — unmounting the
provider would neither park the consumer nor unwind its registered tools,
leaving a model-visible tool that fails only at execution. The façade now
reads ctx.fiber.inject and refuses any service the mount did not declare
(with a teaching error naming the inject fix), so the dependency is always
visible to cordis and its activation/unload semantics bind.
- ctx.tools.get returned the live ToolDefinition, including execute — mount
code could call another tool directly and bypass ToolRegistry.execute and
its pre/post-execute hooks and accounting. get now returns the same
read-only name/description/parameters view as schemas(), never an invocable.
Adds inject-gate and schema-view regression cases to sandbox-context.spec.ts
(undeclared property/get denied, declared allowed, the cross-mount zombie-tool
scenario refused at call time, get exposes no execute). Package stays at
per-file 100% coverage. RFC, mount description, and tool-catalog updated.
Review finding (#220): the guarded proxy only special-cased ctx.tools, so
mount code could reach an UNGUARDED context through ctx.root, ctx.extend(), or
a service instance's .ctx, then ctx.root.tools.register({…}) to bypass the
marker check and host-realm normalization — a raw vm-realm result would later
error a real agent turn at the session-log plainness check.
The sandbox ctx is now a whitelist façade, not a pass-through proxy: it exposes
only what a mount needs — tools.register (marker-guarded), on/once, provide, the
timer helpers, and injected services resolved through a guarded get — and denies
every framework-plumbing member (root, parent, fiber, reflect, registry, extend,
isolate, intercept, plugin, set, mixin, …) with a teaching error. Injected
services are wrapped so a method returning a Context is rejected on the way back
(the .ctx escape), closing the one indirect leak. There is no context-valued
member left to reach; cross-mount provide/inject is untouched (the plugin's own
inject and the fiber's pending/active gating are unchanged). ctx.plugin (child
plugins) and ctx.set are denied by design; ctx.effect is deferred (FIXME).
Adds tests/sandbox-context.spec.ts covering the escape class (root/extend/fiber/
plugin/set/… denied, the classic root.tools.register bypass, the .ctx escape,
read-only writes) plus the async-service and symbol/in-operator paths for 100%
coverage. RFC/README/tool-catalog/config-catalog updated; api-catalog.ts
regenerated (also picks up the codeRuntime service that entered on the master
merge and was left stale).
The tree SHAPE was the wrong surface for the model: what it needs from
cordis_inspect is what services, plugins, and capabilities are loaded, not the
fiber hierarchy. The plugins section is now a flat name + lifecycle-state list
from ctx.registry (deterministically sorted, one line per instance); the ASCII
tree renderer, the parent→child rebuild, and the dyn-id tree annotation are
deleted — dynamic mounts keep their own richer dynamic section (id, state,
provides, waits). Net -49 lines; RFC and READMEs state the flat-list contract.
Field sessions showed models writing tool schemas in the JSON-Schema dialect
by strong prior — type: 'integer', required: false, then the full
{ type:'object', properties, required: [...] } wrapper — and the rejection
text itself pushed a nearly-correct DSL attempt BACK to raw JSON Schema: one
stats tool cost three consecutive schema errors before mounting. The boundary
now normalizes wherever the input has exactly one meaning (wrapper unwrapped
with the required array becoming per-property flags at any nesting level,
integer → number, required: false → optional, all rebuilt as fresh host-realm
objects) and rejects only genuinely meaningless input, enumerating the valid
vocabulary in the error. Re-running the failing session mounts first-try.
The mount description documents both accepted forms.
The sandbox deliberately provides no Node API, and now says so instead of
letting a bare ReferenceError teach nothing: require, the timers, and fetch
are callable traps whose error redirects to the cordis alternative (inject:
['fs'] + ctx.fs, ['web'] + ctx.web, ['bash'] + ctx.bash, ['timer'] +
ctx.setTimeout — a fiber effect, unwound on unmount). Only function-shaped
globals are trapped; process/Buffer stay undefined so typeof feature probes
stay inert. The mount description and the demo persona state the routing rule,
and the demo mounts ctx.fs (local provider) and ctx.web (seam + keyless local
fetch provider) so agent-built plugins have real capabilities to build on.
Live-validated: a model that reached for Node setTimeout self-corrected to
inject: ['timer'] in one step and built a working ctx.web fetch tool.
Everything outside the package and example that a new top-level group and a
new demo touch: GROUP_ORDER in gen-module-graph and gen-doc-graphs (plus the
tools-service consumers list, the APP_EXAMPLES entry, and the graph-atlas
label/mode rows), the knip e2e entries, the packages/README group row, the
AGENTS.md layout and demo lines, and the regenerated module-graph /
config-catalog / graph-atlas / capability-seams / composition artifacts.
AGENTS.md and examples/AGENTS.md word-budget ceilings rise to current+5%
(1802 / 653): the new group and demo rows are genuine additions to both docs,
not condensable restatements.
New top-level packages/cordis/ group with the self-referential toolset:
cordis_inspect (services / plugin tree / tools / dynamic mounts / api / events,
the api section intersecting the generated catalog with the live service store),
cordis_mount (model-written code evaluated in a node:vm sandbox, mounted under
one cordis-dynamic group fiber as dyn-<n>), cordis_unmount (awaited disposal to
quiescence). Boundary mechanisms: dual-realm instanceof, JSON realm
normalization of dynamic tool results, marker-guarded registration, SchemaSpec
teaching errors, parse failures surfaced with the offending line + caret and a
line-scoped TypeScript hint, and the unmount-first recipe on tool-name
collisions. Config: vmTimeoutMs (schemastery, default 5000). Design record:
docs/rfc/implemented/feature/2026-07-08-self-referential-cordis-toolset.md.
The tool-catalog boot manifest, its regenerated output, and the pinned
tool-name list land here rather than with the other repo registration: the
completeness guard globs packages/*/tool-* and fails the generator (and the
core/tools spec) the moment the package directory exists.
A reviewer read "TypeScript via host-side type-strip" and reasonably
asked what typing buys if nothing checks it — the group README never
said the annotations are advisory by design. The row now states it; the
rationale stays in the RFC and the enforcement story (per-dispatch
validateArgs) in the dsh-tools README.
Two [P1] review findings on the worker runtime:
- maxValueBytes gated and sliced the rendered fallback by UTF-16 code
units, so a multibyte string ("€€€€" under a 4-byte cap) crossed whole
and a truncated multibyte rendering could still run ~3x over budget.
New truncateUtf8Bytes cuts at code-point boundaries under a real byte
budget; prepareValue's fallback and the host's forged-error-text bound
both use it, and the VALUE_RENDER_SLACK comment drops its now-obsolete
"sliced by characters" wrinkle.
- The patched stream write dropped Node's optional encoding/callback
arguments, so a program awaiting flush completion
(write(chunk, resolve)) hung to the wall ceiling and misreported as a
timeout. The shim now fires the callback asynchronously once the chunk
is admitted — including for writes the exhausted budget drops.
The master merge added a code-runtime/ package row while this branch adds
the timeout/ row; together they push packages/README.md over its 605-word
ceiling. Condense the timeout/ row to the terse sibling style and raise the
ceiling 605->610 for the genuinely-new package group, mirroring how the
code-runtime work raised architecture.md's ceiling in the same spirit.
The zero-config enforcer no longer imports schemastery (its Config was
removed); knip flags the stale dependency. Remove it from the manifest
and sync the lockfile.
fetchTimeoutMs/searchTimeoutMs (default 30000) resolve to each tool's
ToolDefinition.timeoutMs, moving the budget's declaration home onto the
owning tool plugin and preserving per-tool deployment override without a
mistypable central tool-name map.
The enforcer now reads ctx.tools.get(exec.name).timeoutMs instead of a
free-text tool-name config map, so a mistyped name is impossible and the
tools/change warn-once apparatus is gone. exec.name always resolves in the
registry during dispatch, so there is no unknown-name path to warn about.
A tool declares its cooperative timeout budget on its own definition
rather than a deployment naming it in a central config map. The field
never reaches the model (schemas() whitelists name/description/parameters)
and defineTool rejects a non-positive-finite value at authorship.
Two findings from the GitHub review bot on the ready PR:
The tsdown two-entry build emitted the shared bootstrap module as a
lib/bootstrap-*.js chunk imported by both bundles, which the package.json
files whitelist (deliberately exact) omitted — a packed install had
dangling imports. The package now runs two single-entry builds, so each
bundle inlines its own bootstrap copy and every shipped file is
self-contained.
prepareValue admitted any cloneable value whose BOUNDED inspect rendering
fit maxValueBytes, so a huge container with a compact rendering (a
50k-element array renders as '... N more items') crossed the port raw,
bypassing the cap on both sides. The cap now measures the value's real
cross-boundary size — exact bytes for strings, the structured-clone wire
size (v8.serialize) for everything else — and oversized containers cross
as their bounded rendering instead.
ds-review-bot flagged that a typo'd or stale config key (e.g. web_fech for
web_fetch) silently applies the timeout to nothing — the tools/execute lookup
just never matches. Mirror dsh-tool-subagent's lifecycle-driven handling of a
configured-but-unregistered provider: on every tools/change (and once at load),
logger.warn each configured name still absent from ctx.tools, warning each name
at most once so a late registration silences it. Not a load-time throw — the
tool set is dynamic (cordis.yml load order, HMR), so a real tool may register
later.
Declare inject = ['tools'] since the plugin now reads ctx.tools synchronously
in apply (previously only inside event callbacks). Regenerate config-catalog
(Requires: tools) and event-producer-consumer graph.
The host's message listener trusted the compile-time WorkerToHost shape on
traffic from a peer that runs model code: postMessage(null) threw in the
listener and crashed the host process; forged log/done messages bypassed
maxLogBytes/maxValueBytes (the worker-side LogBuffer and prepareValue cap
only honest flows); and the error-reply renegotiation re-echoed a forged
non-cloneable call id, throwing outside any catch.
Every inbound message now passes a runtime shape gate that validates and
REBUILDS it field by field (junk drops without a throw; call ids must be
numbers, so replies are always clone-plain; forged extra fields never ride
along). One host-side ledger bounds everything landing in logs — honest
port entries, forged ones, and stray pipe bytes — at the single documented
maxLogBytes, with the shared in-band truncation marker emitted host-side
when the ledger trips first; the completion value is re-capped host-side
through the same prepareValue (with exactly the truncation suffix as slack
so honest worker-capped values pass unchanged), and done error text is
bounded. Also folds the stray-capture budget into that shared ledger
(round-1 finding B: it was a second maxLogBytes on top of the documented
shared cap).
The shipped backend of the code-execution seam, per the Code Mode RFC's
worker-thread section: one fresh Node worker per run, executing the
model's TypeScript after a host-side type-strip (wrapped in an
async-function shell so top-level return/await parse, sliced back out
position-preserved), bindings bridged over the message port under
hostile-peer rules (own-property name lookup, at-most-once replies,
post-settlement drops, null-prototype namespaces), logs streamed eagerly
with an in-band truncation marker, and two independent budgets — measured
event-loop busy time (computeMs) plus a never-pausing wall ceiling
(maxWallMs) — funneling into worker.terminate(). env: {} and execArgv: []
keep the isolate hermetic; disposal aborts in-flight runs and awaits
worker exits.
The worker entry loads unbuilt via Node's native type stripping
(src/worker.ts, erasable-only) and ships built as a sibling tsdown bundle
(lib/worker.js); tests/built-lib.e2e.ts pins the built load path under
plain node and joins the built-artifact smoke gate. Unit suites cover the
bootstrap in-process (fake port) and the runtime over real workers,
per-file 100%.
Codex flagged that the load-path smoke disposed the fiber only at the end,
so a leaked stale tools/execute wrapper would still pass. Add an explicit HMR
test: after fiber.dispose(), a configured tool receives the caller's own
signal unwrapped (the derived deadline is gone), matching the repo's
"dispose must reach quiescence" rule.
Model-facing tool-call budgets were tangled into each capability's schema
(bash timeoutMs, web_fetch timeout_ms) with no shared home. Add a
tools/execute around-dispatch waterfall to dsh-tools whose base next() is
the dispatch-with-normalization thunk, and a new @deepseek-ai/dsh-timeout-policy
plugin (packages/timeout/) that arms a per-tool deadline on exec.signal and
returns a structured TOOL_TIMEOUT when it wins. Migrate web_fetch (drop the
model-facing timeout_ms) and web_search onto it; the fetch provider keeps its
timeout only as a resource backstop for direct callers. bash and hook command
execution keep BASH_TIMEOUT unchanged.
Named the plugin timeout-policy (not the RFC's tool-timeout) so it does not
trip the gen-tool-catalog packages/*/tool-* completeness guard, and replace
exec.signal by in-place mutation before next() since cordis waterfall next()
ignores passed arguments. RFC moved to implemented/ recording both deviations.
A client-callback throw only becomes a JSON-RPC error RESPONSE to the
agent's session/request_permission — runScenario itself kept going, so a
tolerant agent could treat the error as a denial and the scenario would
pass, or worse, record: the impossible click baked into fixture and
golden, green on every replay. The mismatch is now captured as a harness
error while the agent is answered plain cancelled (a well-defined path
it cannot reinterpret), and the step loop rejects the run on it as soon
as the in-flight step settles. The spec asserts the rejection instead of
the agent-side error echo.
InputScript gains an optional permissionAnswers queue, consumed FIFO by
the harness's requestPermission handler. Each entry selects by option
KIND (allow_once, reject_once, …): option ids are agent-issued randoms a
committed script cannot know, while kinds are the ACP-stable vocabulary,
so the client maps kind → the offered optionId at answer time. An absent
or exhausted queue answers cancelled — existing scenarios and goldens
are untouched — and a scripted kind the request never offered throws,
surfacing as a JSON-RPC error on the permission request: the scenario
scripted an impossible click.
This is what lets an approval-flow suite (the sandbox composition) drive
allow/reject round-trips deterministically from input.json, per the
shared-acp-snapshot RFC.
A scripted fake ACP agent bin (tests/fixtures/fake-acp-agent.ts) speaks
real newline JSON-RPC through the REAL runScenario spawn path (tsx
loader, temp cwd, env plumbing); every behavior — prompt outcome,
session/new rejection, persisted logs, filesystem noise — comes from a
behavior.json beside the fixture, so specs script whole subprocess runs
from data. harness.spec.ts drives every step op, both expect-error arms,
the permission-stub default, env forwarding, workspace seeding, and the
harvest ordering/noise/fallback branches. suite.spec.ts runs the factory
for real at collection time: a replay suite over committed synthetic
fixtures and a record suite over a temp copy (write-back never touches
the committed tree; ACP_SNAPSHOT_SPEC_BOOTSTRAP=1 re-bootstraps it),
plus direct cases for the exported pure helpers. The suite factory's
pure helpers (childFixturePaths, fixtureContext, normalizedHeaders,
headerDeltaCount) are exported for those direct specs.
Two branches carry justified v8 ignores, both structurally unreachable:
the waiter in-bounds guard (noUncheckedIndexedAccess) and waitForExit's
already-exited race guard (both call sites sit one synchronous frame
after stdin.end()/kill()). The fake bin substitutes the session/new cwd,
not process.cwd(), into scripted logs — the realpath difference
(/private on darwin) is exactly what the real bin's header carries.
packages/support/acp-snapshot/src is at 100% statements, branches,
functions, and lines under the per-file gate.
The snapshot tier's machinery leaves examples/acp-agent/tests for
packages/support/acp-snapshot (@deepseek-ai/dsh-acp-snapshot), where the
coverage gate measures it and a second example can consume it instead of
forking it: harness.ts (runScenario, parameterized by an AgentUnderTest
{binScript, configPath, tsconfigPath} instead of module constants),
normalize.ts (moved verbatim), and suite.ts (defineAcpSnapshotSuite — the
per-scenario golden/log compares, record write-back, per-suite header pin
with its uniformity guard, and the fixture guard block, lifted from
acp.snapshot.ts). The example file collapses to its scenario table plus
one factory call; env reading (DSH_SNAPSHOT) stays at that edge.
The exactly-one-pin meta-test generalizes from the hardcoded text-turn
name to "exactly one per suite" — which scenario pins is the scenario
table's reviewable choice (per-suite pinning per the proposal RFC).
Extraction parity: pnpm run test:snapshot is 36 passed + fs-policy-reject
failing BEFORE AND AFTER (BSD-sed environment failure, reproduced at the
base commit in a clean worktree — the recorded golden's sed -i syntax is
GNU-only), with zero byte changes under examples/acp-agent/tests/snapshots/.
Coverage for the new src files lands in the next commit.
New group packages/code-runtime/ with the interface package
@deepseek-ai/dsh-code-runtime, per the Code Mode RFC: abstract CodeRuntime
service (run() resolves program failures as an error field, rejects only
for seam misuse), the CodeRunRequest/CodeBindingNamespace/CodeRunResult/
CodeLogEntry/CodeRunFailure vocabulary, and readonly language/isolation
backend descriptors. Registered in the tsconfig maps, packages/README,
architecture service map, and the doc-graph service-role classification;
catalogs regenerated.
The RFC's one forward path token to the worker package becomes an npm-name
mention until PR3 creates that directory (verify-package-paths is
drift-scoped: the now-existing group made the token checkable).
docs/architecture.md ceiling 1630 -> 1640: the doc gained a genuinely new
capability-service row; the row itself is already minimal.
The Codex simplification concern plus the duplication comment on the spawn
apply, resolved by deletion: the backend-lifetime holds are gone, so the
runtime registers at the first structured run and disposes when the last
settles — a deployment that never passes outputSchema carries no always-on
global state, and there is no per-backend acquisition block left to extract.
The driver spec now drives an INLINE spawn-shaped provider over
startInProcessRun, which removes the spawn/fork devDependencies (the
test-only workspace cycle); plugin-level structured coverage moves to the
backends' own specs (capture through the shipped plugin, mid-run backend
unload, seeded fork capture). tools.md, the driver README, and both backend
READMEs describe the run-scoped lifetime; the module-graph regenerates
without the cycle edges.
The cross-seam blocker: structured_output recorded its value in the tool
BODY, before tools/post-execute could block the call — a PostToolUse hook's
block turned the logged result into isError while readResult still returned
structured success and the continuation veto ended the turn.
Two-phase commit: the body validates and STAGES (RunState.pending); a fourth
runtime listener on tools/post-execute — prepend, so await next() returns the
composed final decision — promotes the stage to captured only on an accepted
call, and clears it on every path. A block now yields a consistent pair: the
model and log see the isError feedback, the run settles error with no
structured value, and the turn continues so the model can react. Regressions:
block denies the capture end-to-end; accept-with-replacement still commits.
Three Codex findings on json-schema.ts, one discipline:
- required-declared and every value check now use Object.hasOwn — 'in' let
inherited names (toString) satisfy required, dodge additionalProperties:
false, and validate a declared property against the value's prototype
member instead of a carried one
- isObjectLike now means PLAIN JSON object (proto chain of at most one link,
realm-agnostic): a Date annotation or a Map-as-properties no longer passes
structurally and serializes lossily — they fail loud as subset violations
- startInProcessRun asserts BEFORE the defensive structuredClone, so a
hostile schema fails as OutputSchemaError, never a raw DataCloneError
Also the type-equiv catalog gap: tools.md gains the structured-output subset
vocabulary (4 blocks) with matching manifest entries. The driver index also
drops the runtime internals from its public re-export (runs acquire it
internally; no external consumer remains — see the following commit).
Review follow-up (#196): a listed name with no registered tool was silently
ignored; misconfiguration must block work instead. The check lives in the
assembly — the earliest moment the registered tool set exists (tool plugins
register after the service constructs) and the only universal one (cordis has
no "all plugins loaded" event; registrations change at any time). assemble()
is now async so the throw surfaces as a rejection rather than a synchronous
escape from a Promise-returning method.
Blast radius, pinned by a loop-level test: the rejection reaches the turn's
outer catch — the turn closes balanced with an `error` reason, agent/error
mirrors it, no step opens, no request/header is logged, no request reaches
the adapter, and the agent returns to idle; every turn fails identically
until the config is fixed. A boot-time validation pass was considered and
rejected (recorded in the RFC). The general principle — misconfiguration
fails loud, never a silent skip — is added to AGENTS.md.
A three-dot rest entry reads as elision in a cordis.yml; the spelled-out
sentinel says what lands there. The literal now appears once in code (the
constant) and once in the value-pinning test; every other reference — the
forwarding tests included — imports TOOL_ORDER_REST, which adds the
dsh-system-prompt devDependency to the two app packages.
Review follow-up on #196.
