Master unifies every live agent with its exact SessionId and moves declarative startup failures to agent-loop/config-start-failed. Keeping the branch’s AgentId label binding would let the TUI target the wrong lifecycle after reload and would miss asynchronous resume failures.
Resolve that contract migration by giving the selected terminal front door the same generated or resumed SessionId as agent-core, mounting the front door first, and entering fullscreen only after the matching root appears. Refresh the source-derived catalogs and keyless terminal goldens so Code Mode, workflow, Cordis-tool, and transient UI scenarios all exercise the merged identity model.
Move the interactive pi-tui front door into @deepseek-ai/dsh-tui while keeping @deepseek-ai/dsh-stdio line-oriented for pipes. Select the terminal package in the demo app, preserve logger ownership, and cover the production Loader composition with a PTY smoke test.
Move the agent-spine bundle and the stdio/ACP/JSON-RPC app packages out of
core/ and ui/ into a new packages/examples/ group, renamed with a -demo
suffix so the npm name marks them as non-product surface:
core/agent-core -> examples/agent-spine-demo (dsh-agent-spine-demo)
ui/stdio-agent -> examples/stdio-demo (dsh-stdio-demo)
ui/acp-agent -> examples/acp-demo (dsh-acp-demo)
ui/jsonrpc-agent -> examples/jsonrpc-demo (dsh-jsonrpc-demo)
Update every code/config/test reference and reference-only doc mentions, and
regenerate module-graph, config-catalog, and doc-graphs. The jsonrpc bin
(dsh-jsonrpc-agent) and single-file exe (dsh-jsonrpc-agent-pkg) keep their
names; the SDK runtime-startup surface is reconciled separately.
Adopts #211 (Code Mode tools: run_code + the code/both-mode snapshot
scenarios). Tool-catalog expectations take the union (run_code +
task_*); the two new pinsHeader fixtures (code-mode-turn,
both-mode-turn) were recorded on master without the task runtime, so
they are re-pinned KEYLESSLY by replaying their recorded chunks against
the merged tree (same procedure as text-turn) — the fixture diff is
exactly the header delta: task tool schemas, the tool:tasks prompt
section, and the bash background wording.
One shared ctx.tasks registry (branded <kind>-N ids, owner-fenced
read/kill/wait/list, attachSurface misconfiguration fence, reported-flag
notice dedup, atomic register) + dsh-tool-tasks (task_output/task_list/
task_kill, completion-notice injection, background prompt habit).
Producers opt in via their own enableRunInBackground config: bash
(stream kind; seam slimmed to resolve/run/start returning a BashProcess
handle, bash_output/bash_kill deleted) and subagent (final-output kind;
done settles after run.dispose()). Owner disposal drains tasks through
the new awaited ctx.agents.onCleanup seam in the loop's disposal chain.
Both RFCs moved to implemented/; docs, catalogs, snapshots re-pinned.
Both demo:code-mode UIs now share one mechanism: the base example plus a
same-shaped code-mode.cordis.yml include overlay (insert the worker
runtime, flip tools.mode). Previously the REPL side was a hand-forked
example (examples/code-agent) that had also silently diverged — it
dropped compaction and the subagent stack — so the demo's UI argument
switched agents, not just surfaces. The fork is retired: coding-agent
gains the overlay, a Code Mode README section absorbing code-agent's,
and both of its tests (the keyless boot guard, retargeted at the
overlay; the with-key RFC proof, which hand-mounts its own harness and
moves untouched). The RFC's composed-surface and e2e-tier lines, the
examples index, the AGENTS.md smoke table, and the dsh-tools README
link now describe the overlay shape.
Verified live: overlay keyless smoke, with-key code-mode e2e from its
new home, demo:code-mode banner + EOF exit, and the acp handshake.
Load dsh-fs-local + dsh-fs-policy + dsh-tool-fs after tool-todo (mirroring the
acp-agent wiring), and steer the system prompt to prefer read/write/edit for
file ops with bash for shell/tests/search. Update the welcome line and the
FIXME(config-comments) bash note.
Doc sweep now that both demos ship the fs tools and the seam resolves per-session
cwd: architecture.md and the event-gate RFC no longer say the demos do file ops
through bash / that no config wires the tools; the coding-agent + examples
READMEs and the AGENTS.md layout blurb list the fs tools; the acp-agent README
drops the launch-dir caveat (per-session cwd now works, so the server can launch
anywhere).
(stdio-agent is single-session, so fs-local's cwd = process.cwd() is the
workspace. Keyless boot smoke is blocked locally by an unrelated inotify
watcher-limit ENOSPC that also hits demo:echo; the config parses and the same fs
stack boots green in the acp-agent snapshot tier.)
Add @deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-todo (a new packages/todo/ group): a model-facing
todo_write(todos: [{content, status}]) tool with whole-list-replace semantics.
Each call appends the full list as a todo/write event to the calling agent's
session log; the current list is the most recent such event (last-write-wins).
Single-owner — a non-agent caller is rejected. Beyond the schema's
type/required/enum checks, execute rejects empty/duplicate content and more than
one in_progress task, narrowing the loosely-typed args into a real TodoItem[].
Both UIs render off the existing session/event: the stdio UI prints a glyphed
checklist; the ACP bridge maps the list to a `plan` sessionUpdate (todosToPlan
synthesizes the priority ACP requires; status maps 1:1). Wired into the
coding-agent, acp-agent, and snapshot example configs with a system-prompt nudge.
Tests: unit (schema, validation, append/replace, no-agent rejection, presentCall,
HMR-safety, Loader export-shape guard), full-loop integration through the agent
loop, the ACP todosToPlan mapping + stream-update arm, the stdio render arm, and
a session/load replay that re-emits the plan. New-group TS wiring added to
tsconfig.base/json/build. RFC + a doc-inventory sweep (architecture, packages
README, AGENTS layout, cookbook group list, example READMEs) ship with it.
The todo-plan ACP snapshot scenario is recorded separately (needs an API key).
The compaction e2e never exercised compaction: its window/fixture combo
(contextWindow 8000, thresholdRatio 0.5 → threshold 4000; four small files)
peaked at ~1389 estimated tokens, so compactIfNeeded declined every pre-step
and compact/start never landed. Shrink the window (contextWindow 2400 →
threshold 1200; retainTokens 500 + summarizationMaxTokens 300 = 800 < 1200,
convergence holds) and grow the fixture to six files so a couple of bash steps
reliably cross the threshold. Verified compaction fires and the suite passes
across repeated real-API runs.
Sync docs left stale by the landed compaction work: list compaction.e2e.ts and
keyless-smoke.e2e.ts in the coding-agent README (and fix the wrong "Both
self-skip" count), add compaction to the examples with-key inventory, and
replace the hypothetical compaction/marker / "future plugin" naming in the
session README, session types JSDoc, and the core-data-structures catalog with
the real compact/start, compact/summary, compact/end events.
Codex review of PR #88 found three issues in the example-app extraction:
A1 — examples/coding-agent/README.md's plugin table still listed the OLD
direct-wired leaf entries (agent-loop, session-persistence, src/stdio-chat.ts —
the whole src/ dir is gone). Rewrite it to the four real leaf entries the
current cordis.yml loads (hmr, llm-deepseek, bash, stdio-agent), noting that
tool-bash/persistence/agent/loop now live inside the agent-core + stdio-agent
bundles.
A2 — the three new app/spine packages (agent-core, stdio-agent, acp-agent)
export NO `inject`, so a stray `export default apply` would let unwrapExports
collapse the module and silently DROP name/Config WITHOUT crashing — the
real-load-path smokes would stay green. agent-core is never Loader-unwrapped at
all. Add an explicit export-shape guard per package: assert no `default` export
and that the real Loader.unwrapExports leaves name/Config/apply intact. Verified
each fails when `export default apply` is added.
B — soften "structurally unreachable / cannot wire a stdout logger" overclaims
in the acp-agent/agent-core READMEs and the implemented RFC: a leaf CAN still add
a sibling logger entry; the accurate claim is the app omits one so the default
leaf has nothing to get wrong. Keep the safety directive (never add a stdout
logger to an ACP leaf).
A config agent with `resumeSessionId` set continues a persisted session
instead of starting a fresh `${id}-session-<uuid>`. The id is sourced from
an env var in cordis.yml, so the coding-agent demo can resume a prior
conversation without code changes. The resume is deferred until the
`sessionPersistence` backend loads (via ctx.inject) and is contained: a
missing/unreadable id logs a warning and starts no agent. Adds a real-API
resume e2e proving cross-process continuity through the JSONL backend.
Add the durable session-persistence capability seam (ADR 0016): an
abstract SessionPersistence service (dsh-session-persistence,
ctx.sessionPersistence) defining create/append/load/list/has/delete/
update over the existing SessionEvent — no parallel persisted type — and
a first implementation (dsh-session-persistence-jsonl): an append-only
JSONL log per session with crash-safe atomic writes, truncation-repair
of a never-committed crash tail, and a read/replay path. SessionMeta
(format version, cwd, lineage) travels out-of-log via session.header.
A shared runPersistenceContract suite holds every backend to the same
append-only / contiguous-seq / lazy-materialization / serializability
semantics.
Config-driven create() now uses a per-run ${id}-session-<uuid> session
id so a fixed name no longer collides with an on-disk log once a durable
backend is loaded; each run is a new session (a demo simplification). The
examples drop their hand-rolled session-jsonl.ts and load the JSONL
backend via cordis.yml; CI smoke-loads it too.
The agent-facing create/resume factory that consumes load() is a
separate seam, deferred to a follow-up; this change stops at the load
primitive and does not reach into the loop.
Hard line breaks mid-paragraph make docs harder to edit and diff — a
one-word change reflows and re-diffs the whole paragraph. Reflow all
tracked non-vendor Markdown (plus vendor/AGENTS.md) so each prose
paragraph is a single line; soft-wrapping is the editor's job. Fenced
code, tables, and list structure are preserved (wrapped list items fold
to one line per bullet). Documents the convention in AGENTS.md.
The first real agent wiring: DeepSeek V4 + the bash tool suite + stdio
chat + JSONL persistence, runnable via yarn demo:coding (reads the
gitignored repo-root .env through process.loadEnvFile).
- examples/coding-agent: cordis.yml wiring both real plugin families
(llm-deepseek with !!js env secrets; bash-local + tool-bash), a
bash-only coding system prompt, a max-steps-guard plugin (bounds
runaway turns via the agent/turn-continuation waterfall — abort()
from step-end is a no-op by then), and a stdio UI with dimmed
reasoning and exit-on-idle for piped stdin.
- e2e (yarn test:e2e, key-gated): full-loop.e2e.ts runs a real model
against the real bash tool; coding-task.e2e.ts is the swebench-style
smoke — the model fixes a buggy add.js in a temp dir and the test
re-runs node add.test.js itself rather than trusting the agent.
- docs/cookbook: adding-a-package (the verified checklist),
adding-a-tool (execute() contract, background pattern, seams),
adding-an-llm-adapter (protocol obligations, mock-server testing,
e2e policy). AGENTS.md layout/commands/secrets sections updated;
architecture.md points at both examples and the cookbook.
- vitest.e2e.config.ts: serialize test files + retry twice — parallel
e2e files trip the shared internal key's concurrency quota.
- fix: the !js YAML tag spelling in docs/JSDoc is actually !!js
(js-yaml resolves custom tags under tag:yaml.org,2002:js).
