The dedup guard pinned 'no duplicate stamp' — under the header baseline no
stamping exists, so its event-count assertion became a tautology and its
fence assertions a subset of the stale-seed case. The spec docblock claimed
the session invariants pin the stamping design (superseded); it now names
the three review-found timing threats the suite pins as distinct shapes.
Service overrideOf JSDoc shrinks to a pointer at the owning pure export.
Review fixes (ds-review-bot warnings on #623):
- One chain, every consumer: the override resolution (own post-seed
switches ?? header baseline, closed-vocabulary validated) moves into pure
exports (sandboxOverrideOf / approvalOverrideOf); the services delegate,
and the permission presets consume them — current(session) and set()
now see inherited baselines, so a child inheriting danger-full-access
gets REAL knob switches when workspace-write is selected instead of a
silent no-op, and a seed-carried preset selection is subsumed by the
baseline. current(events) becomes current(session) (pre-release; the
only callers were tests).
- Unconditional durable validation: a malformed header baseline fails
loud on every read, no longer shadowed by an own switch.
- The two policy peers are declared optional (peerDependenciesMeta), so a
thin spawn/fork deployment without policy plugins can consume the
driver; verify-runtime-closure honors the flag.
Red-first: inherited-preset derive/switch-away and seeded-selection tests
in the permission suite; malformed-baseline-with-own-switch tests in both
policy suites.
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.
Post-merge reconciliation: master's plan-mode command wording and tool-schema
changes land in the recorded scenario's keyless sidecars (refresh, not
re-record — the model transcript is untouched); the abort-handoff fake agent
stubs ctx.get for the driver's new synchronous inheritance capture; the two
zh Agent Notes gain the sentences their English sides added on this branch,
re-recorded in the pairing manifests.
Review fixes (ds-review-bot on #623):
- Capture-at-delegation: the driver now reads overrideOf(parent.session)
for both knobs synchronously before its first await, and the prompt-submit
listener stamps those captured values — a parent switch racing the child's
asynchronous creation belongs to the parent's future, not the child. The
inheritOverride(parent, child) service method is split into its two halves
(overrideOf / stampOverride) accordingly.
- Veto safety: the one-shot prompt-submit listener registers with
prepend: true, so a veto-capable listener (a denying UserPromptSubmit
hook) cannot close the child's first turn without the durable stamp.
Both regressions are pinned red-first in inheritance.spec.ts: the
delegation-vs-late-switch race (delegate tool flips the caller wider while
the creation transaction is pending) and a blocking prompt-submit listener
(stamp survives a promptless first turn). Service contract tests renamed to
the split API; READMEs and the bilingual Agent Note updated.
Per-session policy overrides (sandbox/mode, approval/policy) never crossed
the delegation boundary: a spawn child of a read-only-switched parent ran
under the wider deployment default, and a fork child missed any switch made
after its seed boundary — delegation was a bypass channel for a user's
tightening.
The in-process driver now snapshots the delegating parent's override chain
and stamps it onto the child through the canonical write paths
(SandboxPolicyService.inheritOverride / ApprovalService.inheritOverride),
anchored inside the child's first turn via a one-shot agent/prompt-submit
listener: turn-enclosed (durable), ahead of the first request (an inherited
'never' reaches the child's first system prompt), and positioned after any
stale fork-seed switch so the ordinary last-event-wins fold resolves it.
Only overrides are copied — an unswitched parent stamps nothing and the
child follows the live deployment default; both services are consumed
opportunistically, so compositions without them delegate unchanged. Nesting
composes by construction (each stamp folds the already-stamped parent log).
Evidence: inheritance.spec.ts drives scripted-model children into the real
dsh-fs-sandbox fence through the real write tool (disk-state + denial-marker
assertions; spawn, stale-seed fork, grandchild, escalation fail-closed, and
no-stamp guards), inheritOverride contract tests in both service suites, and
the recorded subagent-sandbox-inheritance ACP snapshot (read-only preset →
delegate → child denied, replayed keylessly).
See .agents/notes/implemented/feature/2026-07-25-subagent-policy-inheritance.md.
Replace send/steer/inject with one Agent.send primitive over the
(target × wakeup) matrix; followup/steer/inject become fixed-preset
alias methods on the now-abstract Agent class. Coalesce context/message
into user/message (injected context is a non-user source). Replace
agent/queued with agent/inbox/enqueue/dequeue/discard, add cancel
keepInbox, and add a FIFO-conservation invariant.
Master landed the tool-subagent depth budget while this branch was in
flight: the numeric default maxDepth now fails the mount against the
ACP provider's depthLimit: false, so the composition fixture must state
maxDepth: 'provider-managed' — the documented opt-out for a provider
whose recursion budget lives in the child harness. The fixture also
moves off the retired stdio-demo REPL onto the current app-boot driver
pattern (runLoaderSmoke + one-shot cli), and the split isDirectory
statements gain the file-not-a-directory case the single-expression
form used to cover implicitly.
The inheritance branch ran only under hand-mounted plugin tests, and
the with-key e2e always configures an explicit cwd. Add a test-only
cordis.yml (scripted delegating model + the scripted mock ACP child)
booting the stdio app through the real Loader with cwd omitted: the
child proves it ran in — and was announced — the parent session's
workspace, keylessly.
SubagentStartRequest.parent, its core-data type-equiv mirror, and the
ACP backend Agent Note still said the out-of-process backend ignores
request.parent — no longer true: with cwd unconfigured it reads exactly
the session header's cwd, and a parent session without one now rejects
at start. State the one-field read at each owning contract, record the
workspace-resolution decision in the Agent Note, and align the README's
accessibility wording with the search-permission guard.
statSync().isDirectory() is true for a mode-600 directory, but a
subprocess cwd needs X_OK — spawn would fail EACCES, deferring a
self-contained configuration error past the load/start boundary the
resolution owns. Probe accessSync(X_OK) alongside the type check so
"not an accessible directory" is literally what the guard verifies.
