- 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qualify the superseded decision text and record the deliberate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 reads the session store via strict ctx.get (property proxy
is caller-scoped), orders candidates branchlessly, narrows the cold-read
return type, and pins the cost model and store/registry composition gaps
with tests; per-file coverage restored
- acp-agent and headless-agent compositions mount session-projection; a
keyless snapshot pins the descriptor-less diagnostic row
- api-proxy cold spec pins header-origin ownership and the legacy
descriptor-only opt-out
- design note ships as implemented with its English pairing; companion
notes and core-data-structures pages synced
Four values complete the vocabulary, so the opaque body is reached only by
producers that genuinely promise no shape.
`snapshot` — current state a later snapshot supersedes. system-prompt now
exposes `renderContextSections()`, the named contributions
`renderContextSnapshot()` already joins for the model, so the body attributes
each part to the subsystem that produced it instead of re-splitting joined
prose. The runtime snapshot, time-context, and tmux-context declare it.
`notice` — a one-off account of what just happened, declared by tool-tasks,
goal state changes, tool-goal wrap-up, plan-mode switches, and
repeat-tool-guard. Its `summary` rides the COLLAPSED row: these five are the
majority of shipped producers and none of them needs expanding to be read.
The task summary bounds itself because its inputs are unbounded caller text.
`relay` — a message another agent addressed to this one; both subagent
sources declare it and the body names the sender above what it said.
`recall` — material lifted from another session's log. session-reference
needed no new field: its references already record retained and omitted
counts and the truncation flag, which the body shows first, because recalled
context is bounded on the way in.
`ContextFormed` is now discriminated by `form`, so a producer cannot declare
a shape without the facts that shape is presented from — a notice without its
summary, or a snapshot without its sections, fails to compile.
Only the two hook bridges stay opaque, by design: their content is whatever
an external program printed, so no shape can be promised for it. Unknown
kinds and unreadable records land there too.
Implements the durable-subagent-catalog RFC: SubagentControlService.listChildren()
enumerates a parent's direct continuable children from one sessionQuery trace,
validates each child's sole subagent/descriptor event (now carrying the durable
creation label), and returns one ordered SubagentListEntry[] with per-child
corrupt/unsupported/unavailable diagnostics. The list_agents tool ships as a
separately loadable plugin of dsh-tool-subagent-control requiring sessionQuery
at load; send_message stays usable without it.
Remove the host-user continuation capability and the public residency query,
then separate the seam's public event payloads from its internal lifecycle
control interfaces.
`followup()` now takes the exact live direct parent `Agent` instead of a
`SubagentAuthority` union. No production adapter ever supplied user authority,
so the `UserAuthorityGrant` brand token existed only to stop a forged
discriminant from bypassing the direct-parent check — deleting the branch
retires the token, its mint method, and that attack surface together.
Narrowing `parent` from `Agent | undefined` to `Agent` removes three special
cases, including the path where a parentless epoch dispatched its lifecycle
events unscoped. Scoped-versus-global dispatch is now decided by the event, not
by whether a caller happened to have a parent.
`activationState()` had no caller; `ActivationState`, `ActivationObserver`, and
`ContinuationHost` are package-private.
New `src/lifecycle.ts` owns the contained emitter, the one-shot run observer,
and the Activation observer, while `SubagentRunInfo`/`SubagentRunEndInfo` move
to `src/types.ts` beside the other consumer-facing contracts. Those payloads are
public API — dsh-jsonrpc, hooks-claude, and the package invariant all consume
them — whereas the observer is a contract between two in-package collaborators,
so they no longer share a home merely for both being lifecycle-shaped. The
service keeps ownership of the scope carrier: `scopeTarget()` composes the
service's own context filter, so a narrowed stand-in would silently change
scope filtering.
Also drops now-unused dsh-tasks-local and dsh-tool-tasks dev dependencies, and
corrects the README claim that a pre-residency failure emits a terminal edge —
that path only ever rethrew.
- Make host-user authority unforgeable. `{ kind: 'user' }` was a bare
discriminant, so any plugin holding `ctx.subagents` — including
model-generated cordis_mount code, which the advanced ACP composition ships
alongside continuable subagents — could construct it and skip the
direct-parent check for any known child id. It now carries an opaque grant
that only SubagentService.userAuthority() mints, which composition hands to
trusted host adapters; a model-facing tool uses parent authority from its own
execution context.
- Reconcile a delivery discarded inside its own admission window. An enqueue
listener that cancels fires the discard before followup() returns, so the
discard listener could not clear an id it had not seen; submit() retained it
and residency stayed `running` until an explicit drain.
- Recheck the caller signal after materialization. An abort landing between
publication and inbox acceptance still submitted the prompt and returned both
ids; it now rolls the child back.
- Stop promising the model transcript access that no shipped continuable config
mounts. The tools now state only that a background child does not report back.
- Restate the implemented note as shipped state rather than a proposal, so it
works as current authority.
Restores the one-shot settleRun coverage in its own file beside the helper,
covers fork's seed contribution, the post-transfer rollback, the descriptor
model route on cold resume, manager-unload drain, and a failing teardown branch.
Removes three redundant checks the surrounding contracts already own: the
duplicate-Activation and live-id pre-checks (AgentRegistry.enter is the
authoritative collision boundary) and a rollback lifecycle edge that could never
publish because the epoch had no start edge.
