A restriction was compiled against the global tool layer alone: only
global-layer tools were tested against `admits()`, and every chain-layer
tool was overlaid unfiltered afterward. That read the exempt set as "the
global layer" when what it means is "what this scope registers itself" —
two descriptions of the same set only while every model-facing tool sat in
the host composition.
Moving those rows onto the agent plane separated them. A preset's tools are
an ANCESTOR contribution to a joined agent, so a subagent's `toolFilter`
stopped constraining anything it was given; and with the global layer empty
`restrict()` rejected every name it received as unknown, failing the child
outright. With the same tools in the global layer the filter still admits
and applies normally, which is what makes this a regression of the move
rather than a standing limitation.
`view()` now filters everything a scope inherits — the global layer and
every ancestor layer on its chain — and exempts only the layer the scope
owns. That exemption is load-bearing rather than incidental: the delegation
runtime registers a child's `report` and structured-output tools into the
child's own layer, and a filter naming the capabilities the child may use
must not strip the machinery it answers through. Tool order, and with it
prefix-cache reuse, is unchanged: inherited names keep their global-then-
ancestor position and own-layer names still come last.
The diagnostic said "unknown global tool" while listing what is really the
inherited surface; it now names the surface it checks and says why an
own-layer name is not restrictable.

`session.create` also adopts an already-live session, and the preceding
commit newly allows adopting one under the preset it switched to while
blank. Its response still echoed `header.agentPreset`, so that adoption
answered with the preset the session had just left — contradicting the
request it had accepted and the row `session.list` serves for the same
session from `resolveSessionPreset()`. The echo now resolves the same way.
The `assertPresetUnchanged` parameter doc said `existing` was the preset
the session was created under; both callers now pass what it runs.
`composeFrom()` was documented as "infallible" and "cannot fail" beside two
`@throws`. It has no composition failure mode — no roster read, no mount, no
file — but it does reject a caller error, and the wording now says which.
The package-level "switched preset" test re-linked to the same preset id,
so it could not tell reading the parent's live scope chain from reading its
creation header. A second fixture preset makes the switch real.
The Web browser lane's subagent goldens gain the preset badge a child now
shows, which is the visible consequence of recording its composition. That
lane runs only under DSH_EXAMPLE_MODE=lib and was missed before.
The Agent Note records two limits found in review: a cold-resumed
continuable child joins its parent's current composition rather than the one
its header names, and `toolFilter` does not constrain a joined child. The
latter is a regression from the agent-plane move rather than anything this
change introduces — with the same tools in the global layer the filter
applies normally — and is tracked in #2185.
Refs #2185
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.

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.
core.md read as a type grab-bag: LLM wire vocabulary up front, the agent/loop story buried, and no correspondence to packages/core. It now opens on the packages/core control spine — the package-by-package loop map with a Page column into session/system-prompt/tools/scope — and keeps only what the spine group declares plus the repo-wide patterns: the Agent handle with its delivery/cancellation/interception contracts, the SessionEvent envelope, branded ids, the …Map pattern. The conversation vocabulary (Message/ContentBlock, the model request, adapters — 17 type-equiv blocks) moves to llm-streaming.md, which now declares packages/llm end-to-end; the duplicate ContentBlockMap paste near its seam section folds into the moved section, and the manifest, LINK_MAP, README table rows, website label (Core data structures → Core), and inbound anchors follow.
Every packages/<group>/README pair is now a thin front door in one shape: a why-first intro (bash's seam-pattern-first paragraph rewritten as 'shell execution for the agent'), the package table, and a closing pointer to the owning docs/subsystems page — the bash-style table stays the load-bearing middle. Load-bearing trailing paragraphs relocate rather than vanish: the fs no-timeout rationale becomes a filesystem.md section (both languages), session's four sectioned tables merge into one 12-row table, examples' legacy-bin H2 collapses to a pointer at jsonrpc-demo's README, and design rationale that already lives in an Agent Note or subsystem page is now linked instead of restated. All 40 pair records re-recorded.
Move the triplet to implemented/architecture/, rewrite Proposal into a
present-tense Decision, fold Acceptance criteria and Risks into
Consequences (recording what pins the result), retitle the migration
section to what the move actually touched, and repoint the seven
inbound FIXME/README links.
git mv per the regrouping RFC: the five human-collaboration seams and
tui join packages/interaction/, app-boot becomes packages/boot/, and
jsonrpc joins the renamed scaffold/ (formerly sdk/) as its server half
beside client/protocol/create-sdk/helper/scripts/telemetry, whose
folders drop the legacy sdk- prefix. Three new group README triplets
replace the ui/ and sdk/ ones; tsconfig references/paths/globs,
knip keys, vitest globs, gate scripts, catalogs, docs, and the
lockfile follow. Adds the four settled FIXME rename markers
(dsh-sdk-server, dsh-sdk-telemetry, dsh-sdk-helper, dsh-sdk-scripts).
The scaffold folders diverge from their npm names until those renames
land, so tsconfig.base.json maps the three affected names explicitly
beside the group wildcard. Also repairs two pre-existing stale-path
classes the strengthened sweep surfaced: docs/web-styling.md's retired
web-ui host package and type-model spec fixture-literal joins.
app-boot's three Loader-composition specs time out at the default 5s
under full-suite parallel load on this filesystem (pre-existing;
pass isolated with --testTimeout=30000); interaction/scaffold/boot
suites otherwise green (687 passed).
git mv the 12 packages from session-persistence/, session-projection/,
session-title/, and telemetry/ into one session/ group per the
regrouping RFC; merge the four group READMEs into one bilingual
triplet; rewrite the group segment in tsconfig references (intra-group
references shorten to ../<pkg>), tsconfig.base.json paths/globs,
knip.json keys, vitest include, gate scripts, and authored doc/note
citations; regenerate module graph, doc graphs, catalogs, and the
lockfile importer keys. No npm names change.
Full unit suite: 8779 passed; the 18 reported failures reproduce as
env flakes (ambient-proxy IPv6 tunneling, watched-dir inotify
timeouts under parallel load) — each passes in isolation with
NO_PROXY set, matching their known pre-existing behavior on master.
interrupt_agent(agent_id) passes the calling agent as the ancestor
authority for ctx.subagents.interrupt(); the service verifies live
registry identity and recorded lineage, so a direct child or deeper
descendant stops with the same generic parameter while send_message keeps
its exact-direct-parent authority.
Discovery: list_agents gains an optional scope. descendants walks the new
SubagentService.listDescendants() — one lineage trace flattened in stable
pre-order across ordinary and one-shot intermediates, each entry carrying
its verified parentId and depth — and every status now comes from the
live Agent registry (running/idle/complete).

ctx.subagents.interrupt() stops one live continuable child's current turn
via Agent.cancel(cause, { keepInbox: true }) under either a human durable
parent address or an exact live ancestor Agent. Fire-and-return: admission
is synchronous, quiescence is not awaited. Pending inbox work, the
Activation, and published descendants are preserved; only a later waking
send resumes the parked FIFO queue. Absent, one-shot, and disposing
targets are accepted no-ops.
The new Host RPC subagent.interrupt calls only that primitive with user
authority — no catalog, history, persistence, or parent-registry lookup —
so a live child stays stoppable while its parent Agent is offline.

- subagents.history computes its projections best-effort on both arms
(a hostile unit's fold rejection serves the page without the block,
matching the session-list precedent) with dual-arm coverage
- the lifecycle-witness spec probes every field of the seven-key
witness, protecting the key list itself
- list-children's own module docs catch up with the seq-gate contract,
and the design note records the rung-two later-event window as an
accepted, self-healing deviation of the corruption class
- the cached-identity rung gains a finality gate: the identity value
carries its descriptor seq and a cached row is served only when that
seq lands in the child's own suffix, so a fork seed's replayed
ancestor identity can never outrank the authoritative refold
(stateVersion bumped for the state-shape change)
- the cold preparation validates the inspected header against the
enumerated candidate's lifecycle witness; a republished id degrades to
that child's corrupt diagnostic instead of leaking the new owner's log
- the new projection registration proves HMR disposal; companion notes
qualify the superseded decision text and record the deliberate
error-face asymmetry
- the subagent projection's empty state becomes a serializable null
sentinel (undefined fields vanish in JSON push frames, leaving stale
identities in clients); consumers treat null and a missing key alike,
and cached sentinels defer to the authoritative refold
- the tool catalog generator mounts the projection registry for
list_agents; the shared unavailable-error copy goes catalog-neutral
- the design note's verification section records the new
subagent-diagnostic snapshot honestly, the 2026-07-22 note's test
inventory is rewritten to the current mechanism, and the session-store
error code is documented
Cold children consult the optional session-projection-cache checkpoint
before paying a preparation recompute: the identity is immutable once
appended, so a cached value is definitive regardless of its watermark.
The cache stays a read-only accelerator (absent service or any rung-two
fault falls through silently; verdicts stay with the authoritative
refold), and the note plus core-data-structures pages describe the
three-rung ladder.
- listChildren contains per-child projection faults on both ladder rungs
(any registered unit's fold/schema rejection maps to that child's corrupt
diagnostic) and pins the whole-enumeration listing-failure rethrow
- the base bundle mounts session-projection (web-app's own insert retired
to avoid the double mount); stale composition comment updated
- the shared projections-unavailable wire face is pinned across
list/history/prompt; retired session-query arms removed from the catalog
paths
- the design note records the unknown-parent semantics shift and the
fold-fault isolation rule
