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).
New doc-sync gate verify-export-jsdoc walks every module-level exported
name under packages/*/*/src and requires description prose everywhere,
plus @param per parameter and @returns on non-void annotated returns for
function-like exports, public class methods, properties, and accessors.
The parsing + check helpers move out of gen-cordis-catalog.ts into a
shared scripts/jsdoc.ts so 'documented' means one thing on both gated
surfaces.
Deliberate exemptions (documented in the RFC): heritage-declared class
members (the seam declaration is the doc's one home — the one checker
query in an otherwise pure-AST walk), cordis plugin-protocol slots
(name/inject/reusable/Config/apply, top-level and static), constructors,
overload implementations, declare-module augmentation bodies, and
re-export statements (checked at the defining module).
The 203 under-documented exports the gate found at adoption are filled
in this change, so the gate lands green; generated catalogs/graphs are
regenerated for the shifted line pointers.
RFC: docs/rfc/implemented/process/2026-07-06-export-surface-jsdoc-gate.md
The audit swept every packages/*/* plugin for the new AGENTS.md
convention (no hardcoded tunables in plugins) and exposes each finding
as a defaulted, validated Config field. Defaults are the previously
hardcoded values throughout, so no deployment or golden changes.
- tool-fs (had NO Config): readLimit, readMaxLineLength, readMaxBytes,
readStreamMinSize. The caps thread through ReadToolCaps/ReadWindow —
read-render already documented that the consumer applies the caps, so
they become explicit per-request fields.
- tool-web: searchMaxResults (WEB_SEARCH_MAX_RESULTS stays as the
schemastery default). Also fixes the stale GREP_LIMIT references in
search.ts and the web-capability-seam RFC (no such constant exists).
- bash-local: graceMs (SIGTERM->SIGKILL escalation grace). The
RunInternals.graceMs test seam is gone: graceMs is now a required
SpawnSpec field filled from config, so tests exercise the real
config path and the defaults live in exactly one place.
- subagent-acp: disposeEofGraceMs / disposeGraceMs. The AcpRunSpec
fields become required for the same one-defaulting-layer reason.
- session-persistence-sqlite: journalMode ('wal' default; the
rollback-journal modes serve filesystems where WAL's shared-memory
files do not work, e.g. network mounts).
- hooks-claude + hooks-codex: stderrSummaryMaxChars for the persisted
hook/result stderr summary. The duplicated summarize() helpers merge
into hook-protocol's summarizeStderr(stderr, maxChars), beside the
HookResultRecord field it feeds, with the bound parameterized the
same way runHook's defaultTimeoutMs already is.
- compact-basic: charsPerToken for the token estimator (default 4, the
English-text heuristic; CJK-heavy deployments need ~1-2 or compaction
fires far too late). Also corrects the BasicCompactService class doc,
which claimed defaults the required-field config never had.
- fs-local: deletes the dead STREAM_MIN_SIZE constant and the dead
FsIoInternals.streamMinSize seam — the read-routing bound lives in
the consumer (tool-fs), where it is now config. This is item 1 of
the proposed prune-write-only-fs-surface RFC, annotated accordingly.
Every new field gets range validation (following the existing
assertPositiveFinite pattern), a README row, and tests covering the
configured behavior, the schema default, and load-time rejection.
P1: both merge parents shipped SCHEMA_VERSION=3 for different layouts (surface
columns vs seed_length), so an on-disk 3 was ambiguous and wrongly accepted.
Bump to 4 (merged layout) so the version check rejects both sibling v3s.
P2: a surface-eligible event with no surfaceOp lands in the log but vanishes
from deriveMessages() (surface is the sole derivation path). The typed append
overload enforces the marker only when the type arg is a literal; it collapses
to optional when widened to the union (a caller iterating raw events). Guard at
runtime in both append() and the seed constructor — no backward-compat for
surface-less logs. Shared seed fixtures carry surfaceOp explicitly and the
appendLog helper forwards it verbatim (no synthesized default). Exports
isSurfaceEligibleType. Regression tests for all three, each verified to fail
on the unfixed code.
Gates: typecheck, test (1115), snapshot (14), doc-sync, lint, build, hygiene green.
Reconciles the session-surface work (surfaceOp/sourceEventSeqs provenance as
the sole derivation path) with master's worktree-subagent series (fork-seed
boundary + out-of-process subagent backends).
Semantic reconciliations beyond the textual auto-merge:
- SQLite SCHEMA_VERSION: both sides bumped 2->3. Merged to a single v3 carrying
BOTH column families — master's seed_length on `sessions` and surface's
source_event_seqs/surface_op on `events`. writeRow + both INSERT sites bind
the full set; the schema doc lists all three added columns as the v2->v3 gap.
- agent-loop runStep request: master's `sessionId: session.id` and surface's
per-append surfaceOp/sourceEventSeqs coexist (different regions).
- Fork seed + surface: a fork seeds the child from the parent's LIVE events,
which now carry surfaceOp, so the child's surface rebuilds correctly. Verified
end-to-end — the subagent-fork replay recalls the inherited "SAFFRON" codeword
through the seeded prefix.
- Subagent snapshot fixtures (recorded pre-surface) re-enriched via KEYLESS
deterministic replay: only surfaceOp/sourceEventSeqs added onto existing
recorded lines (matched by seq), no recorded value changed. Not re-recorded
against the live API.
Gates: typecheck, test (1112), test:snapshot (14), doc-sync, lint, build,
hygiene all green.
A fork subagent seeds its child session with a prefix of the parent's log, and
that seed becomes the child's persisted log — so a fork child's .jsonl begins
with the PARENT's events, including the parent's assistant/chunk events. The
snapshot replay harness derived a child's script from its whole log, which would
replay the parent's recorded responses as the child's model calls. Spawn-only
scenarios never hit it, but a fork snapshot would mis-route silently.
Record the seed boundary and skip the inherited prefix at replay:
- SessionHeader gains an optional `seedLength` (how many leading events were
inherited via a seed), threaded through CreateSessionOptions/CreateAgentOptions
meta and stamped by the fork backend (= seeded-prefix length; absent for spawn).
It is EXPLICIT, never inferred from seed.length: a resume seeds the whole stored
log, so the resume path passes the persisted boundary back.
- Both persistence backends round-trip it: JSONL header line, SQLite seed_length
column. The SQLite table change bumps SCHEMA_VERSION 2->3; per the pre-release
stance the backend rejects an older user_version on open with NO migration.
- llm-replay's parseSessionHeader reads seedLength and loadSessionScripts derives
a child script from events AFTER the boundary. seedLength is 0 for spawn, so
spawn replay is byte-for-byte unchanged.
Closes the routing-correctness gap the per-session snapshot replay RFC under-
stated; a recorded fork scenario remains a future addition but now derives
correctly. RFC: docs/rfc/implemented/testing/2026-06-22-fork-child-replay-seed-boundary.md.
Regression coverage: a fork child fixture whose seeded prefix carries a parent
chunk (derived script must exclude it, proven red without the slice); a seedLength
persistence round-trip through the shared coordinator contract (both backends);
the fork backend stamping it; resume preserving it from the persisted header.
Reconcile the session-surface feature with master's package reorg and
simplifications:
- Adopt master's folded usage (assistant/message.usage; standalone `usage`
event dropped) and re-attach surface metadata (surfaceOp/sourceEventSeqs).
- Add surface opts to master's new max-tokens assistant/message append.
- Port surface columns onto the coordinator-refactored SQLite backend at its
new path; drop the dead v1->v2 migration (bump-and-reject, no migration per
pre-release policy).
- Move the session-surface RFC into implemented/architecture/ and refresh its
stale body (no migration, SESSION_FORMAT_VERSION=0, renamed package paths).
- Update the core-data-structures catalog SessionEvent blocks for the two new
surface fields; regenerate the cordis catalog.
- Re-harvest ACP snapshot fixtures (keyless replay) to carry surface metadata.
Type-only change (brands are zero-cost casts; no runtime/wire impact). Closes
the two gaps in the "brand ids that cross package boundaries" policy and fixes
the dependency direction so a capability package never pulls in an unrelated one.
- Extract the `Branded<B>` primitive into a new standalone type-only package
`@deepseek-ai/dsh-brand` (packages/util/brand) with no harness-package deps.
dsh-llm keeps its owned CallId but imports Branded from dsh-brand; dsh-session,
dsh-agent, and dsh-bash all import Branded from there. dsh-bash depends on
dsh-brand ALONE — never on dsh-llm or dsh-session (the architectural fix: a
generic execution backend must not couple to the LLM or session vocabulary).
- Mint BashTaskId + OwnerToken in dsh-bash and thread them through BashTask.id,
the get/ownerOf/list/readOutput/kill seam, the bash-local generation site, and
the dsh-tool-bash validate/access surface. OwnerToken is a DISTINCT brand from
SessionId so the seam stays decoupled; dsh-tool-bash is the single boundary
that casts SessionId -> OwnerToken.
- Brand at the SOURCE, not via mid-pipeline casts: agent-loop's Config types
agents[].id as AgentId and resumeSessionId as SessionId, so the brand enters
at the config boundary and the inner create()/resume casts disappear (only the
genuinely-new per-run session-id string is cast).
- Stop brand erosion: propagate CallId/SessionId/AgentId to the registry/store
Map keys and public params/exports (SessionStore, AgentRegistry + factory
options, the ACP session-id surface + ToolPresenter CallId map, the
persistence coordinator, invariants pendingCalls, the pi-ai tool-call maps).
- Docs: document BashTaskId/OwnerToken in bash.md (type-equiv re-pasted), point
the Branded type-equiv at dsh-brand, fix stale param types in the session/
agent/bash READMEs, regenerate the cordis catalog + module graph.

Codex review of the PR2 diff caught doc/comment sites doc-sync does not gate
(core-data-structures prose) and a latent test-helper race:
- docs/core-data-structures/persistence.md + bash.md, sqlite README, and two
source comments (coordinator.ts, jsonl.spec.ts) still listed the removed
has/delete/get/list methods — updated to the surviving four-method
persistence surface and the get/list-free bash seam.
- doneFor(ctx, id) attached its onTaskDone listener lazily, after the task
could already have closed (e.g. `true`), so it could miss the completion and
hang. Replaced with trackCompletions(ctx): one eagerly-installed listener
(mounted in setup() before any task starts) records every completion, and
doneFor resolves immediately for an already-finished task or on completion
otherwise. Race-free, and there is no get-by-id seam left to poll instead.
Two capability seams carried abstract methods no production consumer calls.
A method no consumer programs against is not a seam — it is speculative
surface every implementation must still provide and test.
- SessionPersistence: remove has() and delete(), the coordinator's
has/delete/deleteCore, and the PersistenceBackend.deleteStored hook (with its
jsonl + sqlite + in-spec memory-stub impls). Surviving service surface:
create/append/load/list. Production uses only load() (resume) and list()
(ACP session/list).
- BashExecutor: remove get(id) and list(), the abstract decls and the
LocalBashExecutor impls. The internal tasks map survives (it backs
ownerOf/readOutput/kill); get/list were pure public accessors over it with no
shipping caller and no bash_list tool.
- Migrate tests that reached through ctx.bash.get(id) to the public completion
seam: a doneFor(id) helper over onTaskDone awaits a task by id, and the
HMR-reload ownership test now proves task survival through A's own bash_output
([status: running]) plus ownerOf + B-rejection — a stronger through-the-tool
assertion than the removed lookup peek.
- Update seam READMEs (six -> four service methods, drop the deleteStored hook
and the get/list row) and the two implemented persistence RFCs in place.

Merge brought in the RFC-classification reorg and two new doc gates;
rewrite every drifted packages/<name> cross-link (Markdown link targets,
moved-README relative depths, and .ts comment paths) to the grouped paths.
Add two doc-sync/hygiene gates so the manual checks this restructure
needed become automated:
- verify-package-paths.ts: flags a packages/<path> reference (in Markdown
or a .ts comment/string) that does not resolve AND names a real package
in a segment — i.e. a stale path to a MOVED package. A path naming a
non-existent package (a forward-looking proposal) is left alone, so it
applies uniformly across proposed/implemented/rejected.
- check-workspace-constraints: assert the packages/<group>/<pkg> depth-2
shape (group dirs carry no package.json; no flat or over-nested
packages). Group names stay open; only the shape is fixed.
Move the 18 flat packages/<name> packages into role-grouped dirs:
core/, llm/, bash/, session-persistence/, ui/, support/. Group dirs are
pure containers; each package keeps its @deepseek-ai/dsh-* name.
Collapse the per-package tsconfig paths maps (base + typecheck) into one
@deepseek-ai/dsh-* wildcard with a candidate per group, and derive the
publint list from the hierarchy. Update all depth-coupled globs/configs
(workspace, tsdown, vitest, eslint, knip, tsconfig includes/refs,
per-package tsconfigs, generators, doc-script scopes, type-equiv manifest)
and the cross-package/script relative imports in tests.
Fix doc-typecheck's workspacePaths() to parse tsconfig JSONC via the
TypeScript API instead of a regex comment-strip, which corrupted the
new wildcard `/*/` path candidates.
WIP: doc cross-links and package/RFC docs still to update.
