The loop logs the assistant/message (carrying tool-call blocks) BEFORE running
the tools, so a crash mid-tool leaves durable tool calls with no matching
tool/result. interruptedTurnClosers only added step/end + turn/end, so a resumed
session's deriveMessages() replayed a dangling assistant tool-call — which every
provider rejects as an invalid transcript on the next request.
interruptedTurnClosers now scans the interrupted turn for tool-call blocks
without a matching tool/result and synthesizes an error tool/result for each
(before the step/end), so the rehydrated history is a valid transcript. Adds a
dedicated repair.spec.ts and a shared-contract case proving both backends pair
every orphaned call with a result. Docs (ADR 0018, both persistence READMEs,
load() JSDoc) updated.
Also fixes the echo-agent README session-cleanup path: demo:echo runs from the
repo root, so sessions land in <repo-root>/.sessions/_no-cwd/, not
examples/echo-agent/.sessions/ (review #33).
Add the durable session-persistence capability seam (ADR 0016): an
abstract SessionPersistence service (dsh-session-persistence,
ctx.sessionPersistence) defining create/append/load/list/has/delete/
update over the existing SessionEvent — no parallel persisted type — and
a first implementation (dsh-session-persistence-jsonl): an append-only
JSONL log per session with crash-safe atomic writes, truncation-repair
of a never-committed crash tail, and a read/replay path. SessionMeta
(format version, cwd, lineage) travels out-of-log via session.header.
A shared runPersistenceContract suite holds every backend to the same
append-only / contiguous-seq / lazy-materialization / serializability
semantics.
Config-driven create() now uses a per-run ${id}-session-<uuid> session
id so a fixed name no longer collides with an on-disk log once a durable
backend is loaded; each run is a new session (a demo simplification). The
examples drop their hand-rolled session-jsonl.ts and load the JSONL
backend via cordis.yml; CI smoke-loads it too.
The agent-facing create/resume factory that consumes load() is a
separate seam, deferred to a follow-up; this change stops at the load
primitive and does not reach into the loop.
New @deepseek-ai/dsh-invariants plugin (pure listeners, off in prod) asserts
the event taxonomy at runtime — seq monotonicity, turn/step nesting, a
tool/result needs a prior tool/call (NOT the converse), legal agent/status
transitions — and deep-freezes logged event data so mutating history throws.
Seeded sessions are checked + frozen on session/created.
The real RFC 008 fix is always-on: deriveMessages now structured-clones the
content it emits, so the loop's sanctioned request/adapter mutation can no
longer reach back and rewrite the append-only log. The pervasive
DeepReadonly<T> type flip is rejected (compile-only, high-noise, castable) —
recorded in ADR 0012, which folds in RFC 008. Wired into both demos.
- AGENTS.md Commands: fix typecheck/build descriptions; add lint, lint:fix,
test:coverage, knip, publint, hygiene (were undocumented).
- Drop the bare `yarn demo` for explicit `demo:echo` + `demo:coding`; update
README, examples READMEs (and document coding-agent in examples/README).
- New cookbook guide: adding-a-vendored-package.md (the missing "add" half of
vendor/README's update-only procedure).
- architecture.md: add a table-of-contents and extract the Extension cookbook
to docs/cookbook/extension-cookbook.md (link-preserving); drop the completed
"restructure this document" TODO.
- ADR 0009 (capability seams) + 0010 (twin LLM adapters), and a "when to write
an ADR" standard in adr/README.
- Add a committed dsh-code-review skill under .agents/skills, exposed to Claude
Code via a tracked .claude/skills symlink (gitignore carve-out).
Hard line breaks mid-paragraph make docs harder to edit and diff — a
one-word change reflows and re-diffs the whole paragraph. Reflow all
tracked non-vendor Markdown (plus vendor/AGENTS.md) so each prose
paragraph is a single line; soft-wrapping is the editor's job. Fenced
code, tables, and list structure are preserved (wrapped list items fold
to one line per bullet). Documents the convention in AGENTS.md.
Nominal string types via a unique-symbol brand (zero runtime cost):
an AgentId can no longer be passed where a CallId is expected. Each
core package brands the IDs it owns — CallId in dsh-llm (tool-call
correlation across blocks, chunks, session events, and execution
results), SessionId in dsh-session, AgentId in dsh-agent. Construction
goes through same-named factory functions; public string-in APIs
(sessions.create, agentLoop.create) keep accepting plain strings and
brand internally. Policy note in the brand module: brand IDs that
cross package boundaries, not every string.
Flat config with two layers. Correctness (type-checked): the headline
rules for this codebase are no-floating-promises / no-misused-promises
(a lost promise in the agent loop is our primary bug class),
switch-exhaustiveness-check (we switch over merge-extensible unions
everywhere), no-unnecessary-condition, require-await, and
no-explicit-any. Style (@stylistic): 2-space, no semicolons, single
quotes, trailing commas, max-len 140 — the existing house style, now
enforced instead of drifting between agents. vendor/ is excluded
(vendored source keeps upstream style); tests relax the rules that
fight test ergonomics (non-null assertions after expects, async mock
signatures, non-Error throws).
Code adjusted to pass: registry disposers wrap ctx.effect's
promise-returning disposer behind a sync () => void (our public API),
BlockAssembler gains an invariant-checking mustGet instead of non-null
assertions, lastTurnNumber uses findLast, waterfall tails return
Promise.resolve instead of async-without-await arrows, and the two
deliberate suppressions (non-exhaustive derivation switch, unbound
execute pass-through) carry justification comments.
yarn lint / yarn lint:fix added.
tsconfig.base.json adds noUncheckedIndexedAccess,
exactOptionalPropertyTypes, noImplicitOverride,
noFallthroughCasesInSwitch, noUnusedLocals, and noUnusedParameters on
top of strict. Vendored packages opt out of the new flags locally
(their tsconfigs are ours to regenerate; their source is not), keeping
upstream-sync friendliness.
Our code fixed accordingly: index accesses acknowledge undefined
(assembler flush cursors, lastTurnNumber); optional properties are
omitted instead of set-to-undefined (GenerateResult.usage,
ToolDefinition.strict, GenerateOptions.system/tools, error payloads
via an errorData helper); Session.onAppend is explicitly
`(…) => void | undefined`; tests and examples updated for unused
parameters and indexed access.
The architecture cookbook's tool-plugin example now uses defineTool
with typed args (the raw-JSON-Schema + `args: any` example contradicted
the type-safety policy it sits next to); a note explains raw schemas
remain the MCP interop path. The echo-agent README's mock-llm row now
matches the code (registerAdapter(['mock-echo'])) and the echo-tool
row mentions the typed registration.
Docs: per-folder README.md for packages/ (family overview + one per
package: service, events, API, extension points, TODOs), examples/,
and examples/echo-agent/; folder-level AGENTS.md (+ CLAUDE.md
symlinks) for packages/ and vendor/; module-level doc comments in
every packages/*/src file; richer JSDoc on all exported API
(event side effects, disposal contracts, error behavior). Root
AGENTS.md gains a "Type Safety and Documentation" policy section:
the codebase aims to be very type-safe and well documented; type
gymnastics are acceptable in core packages when they improve
plugin-author DX; verbose docs are fine as long as they stay strictly
in sync with the code.
Type safety: removed the upstream-inherited "noImplicitAny": false
from tsconfig.base.json — packages/* now compile under full strict
mode; vendor/loader and vendor/include set it locally (vendor/cordis
already did). Eliminated every `: any` / `as any` from packages and
examples (catch clauses use unknown + a CodedError narrowing type;
event data access uses discriminated-union narrowing).
Typed tool schemas: new @deepseek-ai/dsh-tools schema DSL —
SchemaSpec with per-property `required: true` booleans, type-level
InferArgs<S>, a runtime SchemaSpec → JSON Schema converter, and
defineTool() so first-party tools get typed execute(args) with zero
casts (raw JSON Schema still accepted for MCP interop; chosen over
schemastery because it targets JSON Schema generation directly).
echo-tool and all test tools migrated; +7 tests.
cordis.yml-wired demo proving the full stack end to end: mock-echo
LlmAdapter (streams text; calls the echo tool on "echo <text>"),
echo tool, stdio chat UI plugin (consumes only the agent/* taxonomy),
and a JSONL persistence plugin demonstrating the write-behind +
session/flush checkpoint pattern. Runs unbuilt via tsx with loader,
include, and HMR live-reload all active (yarn demo).
