Tool and prompt-section visibility is inherited along dsh-scope's parent
chain, and an agent's scope key is minted with no parent. Per-session agent
presets moved every model-facing row onto the agent plane and made
AgentPresets.mount() the one thing that binds that link, from the api-proxy's
session create, resume, and fork paths. The two in-process subagent drivers
installed only the per-child persona and tool filter, so a child's scope chain
had length one and its registry view resolved the global layer alone — which
is empty wherever a preset roster is composed. One-shot children reached the
model with no tools, continuable ones with only the host-plane `report`, and
neither carried its parent's persona, workspace context, or skill catalog.
AgentPresets.composeFrom() joins one agent to the standing composition another
already runs on. It is a bind, not a mount: the child gets its parent's exact
generation, so a composition edited since the parent started cannot fork it
onto another one, and it is synchronous, which is what lets a child creation
window use it. applyChildComposition() now takes the parent and performs the
join first, making a child composed without it unrepresentable at the call
sites. childSessionMeta() records the joined id so a cold read rebuilds the
composition the child actually ran under.
The audit that followed found two api-proxy readers on the wrong authority:
presenterScopeFor() and the live-agent branch of assertPresetUnchanged() both
read header.agentPreset, which goes stale the moment a blank session switches
preset. A switched session's cold transcript resolved presenters in the older
composition's layer and silently degraded to generic cards, and the gateway
refused to adopt a live session under the preset it actually runs while
accepting the one it left. Both now resolve through resolveSessionPreset(),
matching the resume branch fifteen lines above. The owning architecture Agent
Note carried the stale claim that the header records what a session runs; it
is corrected to name the header/log pair and its three readers.
Fixes#2165
One host registry serves every composition in the process, so its two
service-wide collections answered per-owner questions process-wide. `start()`
asked only whether SOME surface was attached, so an agent whose own composition
loads no `tool-tasks` could start work it has no tool to collect or stop as soon
as any other preset attached one — and the answer changed depending on which
sessions happened to be open. `settle()` walked every registered listener, so a
task settling without a waiter injected one completion notice per mounted
preset into the same owner.
Both collections now sit in `ScopedLayers`, the layered-registry primitive
`tools` and `skills` already use: a registration files into its registering
context's scope, and a read unions the global layer with the owner's scope
chain. A surface or listener registered from an unscoped context lands in the
global layer and serves every owner, which is exactly the host-plane
composition's own controls, so the TUI path is unchanged without a special
case.
This supersedes the consumer-side filter in the previous commit. That filter
produced the right notices but sat in the wrong layer: it left the `start()`
gate process-wide, it could not be enforced against a producer that resolves
the registry directly, and it made a Consumer carry scope knowledge that the
other layered registries keep in the registry. `tool-tasks` is scope-agnostic
again and the `dsh-scope` edge moves to `tasks-local`.
`start()`'s refusal is now owner-relative, so its model-visible text names the
agent rather than the process. The shipped `minimal` preset keeps
`enableRunInBackground: false`, no longer as the safety boundary — the registry
owns that now — but so an agent that could never collect a task is not offered
the parameter at all.

`tool-bash` resolves the background-task registry with `ctx.get('tasks')`,
and it sits at the preset's top level. The registry sat inside an
entry-local `isolate: { tasks: true }` realm, which is invisible to every
sibling row outside it, while the Web surface disabled the host row — so
both lookups missed and every `run_in_background` call answered
"background tasks unavailable" with `task_output`, `task_list`, and
`task_kill` still listed in the catalog. `task_list` returning
"(no background tasks)" is what made the outage read as an empty queue
rather than a severed producer.
That is the `goals` criterion read from inside the preset: a Service a row
outside its realm READS belongs to the plane both can see. `tasks` already
keys access by owning agent (`assertAccess` compares `task.owner.id`) and
mints an independent token per `attachSurface` call, so one host instance
serves every session exactly as before presets — the per-preset-standing-mounts
note records that sharing `tasks-local` is a return to its design.
`minimal` mounts no `tool-tasks`, and the `start()` control-surface gate is
a service-wide set that another preset's controls would open for it, so its
`tool-bash` disables `run_in_background` and drops the parameter from the
schema.
Fixes#2141
The suite composes over the ambient DSH home, so a fixed session id
collides with the log a previous run persisted once the tool-execution
path checks persisted identity.
The shipped-Web e2e enables the bundled badge skill as a stand-in for a
repository plugin's deployment-level provider and asserts the layering both
ways: a standard-preset agent's view merges the global layer with its
preset's local discovery and its loader tool resolves the global skill,
while the host view stays global-only and a core-web agent can read the
layer but composes no loader tool.
This reverts commit f12c131ee9fdbc01b9294c8dc2c73cd36ab717cf.
The layered host skill registry closes the gap the bypass recorded: a
repository plugin's skill root registers into the global layer and reaches
every preset-composed session's catalog, so the fixture declares its skill
root again and the e2e proves the full skill, MCP, and TypeScript
contribution set. The accidental .claude/launch.json from that commit goes
with it.
The skills capability moves back to the host plane as one singleton, layered
with the ScopedLayers infrastructure the tools registry established: a
registration files into its calling context's layer (repository plugins and
host rows land global, a preset's skill-local lands in that preset's layer),
and a read merges the global layer with the viewing scope's chain, the
nearest layer winning duplicate names outright while rank keeps deciding
duplicates within one layer.
The web-app bundle re-enables the base skill registry row (skill-local and
tool-skill stay preset-owned), the standard preset drops its isolate skills
realm for bare rows over the host registry, tool-skill passes the calling
agent as the view scope, and the gateway's skills domain reads the host
registry in the presenter scope — a cold session now resolves its recorded
preset's standing key instead of failing.
Delete design-session citations (decision/audit/plan ordinals, stack
positions), change narration, review choreography, and reviewer-addressed
justification from comments, JSDoc, docs, READMEs, Agent Notes, tests, and
generator templates; restate every affected fact as current-state contract
prose. Fix generated docs at their sources and regenerate the catalogs and
cordis-surface regions; re-paste type-equiv blocks; update every bilingual
counterpart and re-record the pairs. Record the citation rule in the
committed-artifact-citations Agent Note.
loadOverlayPatches already throws on a missing file (the caller named
it, so absence is a misconfiguration) — the existsSync guard was a
second fail-loud mechanism for the same miss with a prettier message.
The loader's throw keeps the fail-loud contract the Windows-default
note records.
