Confirmed and fixed, each with a regression test that failed first:
- Concurrent update() lost patches (merge over one stale snapshot):
per-namespace serialized write queues; a failed write cannot poison
the queue for later writers.
- Fixed-name .tmp write followed planted symlinks and kept stale modes:
random-suffix sibling, exclusive-create (wx), 0600, cleanup on
failure, then rename.
- A throwing settings/updated listener escaped commit and permanently
wedged the provider reload chain (rejected refreshTask): commit now
contains listener failures (INVARIANT-coded errors still propagate),
async watcher rejections are adopted and contained
(watch callbacks are officially void | Promise<void>), and the
provider chains refreshes on a settled tail with an error log.
- No way to remove a user override: scope/service replace(section)
sets the user section wholesale; replace({}) re-inherits base and
schema defaults.
- The three-primitive provider contract did not hold (base never
called load()): the base Service.init loads and publishes once;
settings-local delegates via yield* super[Service.init]().
- Dispose did not quiesce: teardown flags closed, closes the watcher,
then awaits queued/in-flight reloads; closed is re-checked across
await points.
- Invariant now checks the authoritative relation with the seam's own
deepEqualJson: emitted next must equal settings.get(ns), and
next/prev must differ structurally (cosmokit dependency dropped).
- New docs/core-data-structures/settings.{md,zh.md} with type-equiv
blocks + manifest entries; catalog types moved from exemptions to
LINK_MAP; website page registered.
Both packages stay at per-file 100% coverage.
Seven-chapter tutorial under docs/cordis-tutorial/ for agent developers
new to Cordis: first plugin, lifecycle/effects, services, events,
config, composition/HMR, and a final chapter registering a tool against
real harness services. Every transcript was produced by running the
chapter files in a gitignored tmp/ scratch directory.
Published to both website locales as mirrored English pages under a new
'Cordis tutorial' develop-sidebar section; a Chinese pair can be added
later without route changes.
