Implements the LSP capability seam RFC as three packages: dsh-lsp (the
ctx.lsp interface — provider registry by branded id + exclusive extension
mapping, per-query order-independent selection, closed request/result
vocabulary, LspError taxonomy), dsh-lsp-local (a generic stdio language-server
provider — Content-Length JSON-RPC framing, per-(provider, workspace) process
single-flight, transient didOpen/query/didClose, an abortable per-instance
queue, UTF-16 negotiation, host-namespace source reads outside ctx.fs, and
bounded shutdown/kill teardown), and dsh-tool-lsp (the model-facing lsp tool —
four operations, one-based UTF-16 cursor conversion, workspace-grouped location
rendering, hover capping, a required session workspace, and a timeout budget).
Why: an agent had text search and file reads but no way to identify a program
symbol — follow an alias, connect an interface to implementations, or read an
inferred type — before changing code. Splitting model contract, seam, and local
subprocess behavior keeps the four semantic queries stable across future remote
or sandbox-native providers without leaking a JSON-RPC escape hatch.
Rewrite the agent-scope RFC with executable examples and an explicit security non-goal. Harden subagent scalar and depth validation, and pin live tool-filter semantics across code, tests, and generated docs.
Every packages/*/* README now carries a canonical '## Known Limitations and
Deferred Work' section: condensed, evidence-backed bullets for consumer-visible
gaps (unimplemented features, platform caveats, MVP cuts) and consciously
postponed work (TODO/FIXME/XXX markers, RFC deferrals still open). The ten
pre-existing ad-hoc variants ('What is NOT here (TODO)', 'Deferred',
'Limitations (MVP)', 'Known limitations (tracked TODOs)', ...) are normalized
into the canonical heading.
A new doc-sync gate, scripts/verify-readme-limitations.ts, enforces the shape:
exactly one limitations-like heading per package README, byte-equal to the
canonical h2, with at least one bullet; near-miss headings fail so variants
cannot creep back. Packages with genuinely nothing to declare (dsh-brand,
dsh-timeout, dsh-subagent-mock, dsh-app-boot) are whitelisted in the script and
must NOT carry the section; whitelist entries are validated against the scanned
package set so a rename fails loud.
Wired into the doc-sync chain (package.json) and the run-gates doc-sync leaf
set; the standing rule lands in packages/AGENTS.md and the adding-a-package
cookbook; decision record in
docs/rfc/implemented/process/2026-07-10-readme-known-limitations-gate.md
(RFC index regenerated).
Also fixes two stale '(deferred)' markers claiming dsh-compact-basic is
unimplemented (the dsh-compact seam README's package table and the seam's
module doc comment).
ctx.approval (dsh-approval): request() dispatches the approval/request
waterfall and always resolves a closed outcome — allowed-once / rejected /
cancelled / unavailable — never rejects; zero listeners fall through to
fail-closed unavailable; abort settles cancelled and discards late answers;
throwing or rogue answerers are contained as unavailable; every ask lands
the log-only approval/asked / approval/decided audit pair. dsh-tools routes
a pre-execute ask through the seam opportunistically (ctx.get) with three
distinct deny reasons, keeping the historical ask→deny degrade when the
seam is absent.
The per-session policy tier, the ACP bridge answerer, and the sandbox
escalation asker are staged follow-ups of the approval-seam RFC.
