The remaining P1 from the #939 review, plus the P2 it shares a mechanism with.
Nothing carried a version, so two tabs editing one namespace silently
overwrote each other — reproduced as tab B's `reasoning` lost to tab A's
older draft. The seam's per-namespace write queue orders writes; it cannot
tell a fresh writer from one replaying a snapshot a predecessor superseded.
Each namespace now carries a monotonic `revision` over its RAW section. A
write may send `expectedRevision`, checked at the FRONT of the queue (not at
call time, which would race the very predecessor it guards against); a
mismatch rejects with `SettingsConflictError` → `settings-conflict` on the
wire, carrying both revisions. The editor captures the revision it opened at
and, on conflict, asks the user to reopen rather than replaying its snapshot.
The same counter fixes the missing broadcast. `settings/updated` is gated on
the resolved value — correct for consumers, wrong for configuration surfaces:
storing an override equal to the composition base leaves the resolved value
alone while changing what the document says (the field is now overridden, not
inherited) and moving every open editor's revision. `settings/document-updated
(ns, revision)` fires on any raw-section change, in-process or external, and
`host/settings-changed` now rides it.
That event also closes the stale model picker: editing a provider's `models`
changes no route, so `llm/adapters-updated` never fired and an open picker
kept serving the old catalog. A change to an exposed provider namespace now
emits `host/models-changed` too — that namespace holds the catalog.
Docs: both sides of the five touched README pairs, a type-equiv block for
`SettingsPathOp`, and an Agent Note recording what the plane exposes and who
may overwrite what. The deferred wire-redaction gaps (secrets behind
union/intersection/transform, `.default(...)` in the served envelope, schema
text in rejection messages, `new Function` rehydration, pi-ai's `headers`) are
recorded as TODO(settings-wire-redaction) and in Known Limitations rather than
half-fixed.
A question may now carry `intent`, a tagged declaration that it IS a decision
of a known shape, so a UI that recognises the tag can present it as such
instead of as a generic option list. The one member is
`{ kind: 'plan-review', approve }`, which plan-mode sets on the exit_plan_mode
review.
An intent shapes presentation only: a UI honouring it answers with the same
option labels a generic UI would send, so the tool reads one answer shape
either way, and a UI that does not know the tag renders the generic flow.
`approve` names the affirmative option rather than relying on option order;
since no type can tie that label to the question's own option list, `ask()`
rejects a mismatch as BAD_INTENT, and the wire schema rejects an unknown tag
outright rather than silently rendering generic.
plan-mode also stops reporting a dismissed review as "the user cancelled
ask_user_question" — a tool it never called. A dismissal now tells the model
the user took the turn back to speak, and to stay in plan mode and wait; every
other ask failure keeps its own message.
Five findings from the #939 review, each reproduced before being fixed.
**Configuration reads are as privileged as writes.** `settings.describe`
returns every exposed namespace's configuration and `credentials.describe`
reports whether an arbitrary environment-variable name is configured and from
where — reconnaissance no anonymous caller should have. Both join
PRIVILEGED_METHODS, so the whole configuration plane is loopback-only until
real authentication exists; `trustedHosts` was never authentication. The model
catalog stays reachable: it carries no endpoints or key state, and a LAN
client's model picker legitimately needs it. Asserted over a real HTTP server,
because the Host header a browser actually sends is what decides this.
**The proxy serves only namespaces a registered model provider addresses.**
The settings seam is general — any plugin may register one — but the Web
configuration plane is the model-provider surface. Without the gate, every
future `settings.register()` would silently become remotely readable and
writable configuration. An unregistered namespace and an unexposed one answer
identically, so no caller can enumerate the registry one probe at a time.
**Path-addressed writes replace the redacted-document rebuild.** The editor
reads the REDACTED descriptor, so rebuilding a section from it and replacing
wholesale deleted every literal secret the wire never returned — reproduced as
`{baseURL, reasoning}` in, stored `apiKey` gone out. `settings.mutate` applies
set/unset ops to the section as it stands at the front of the seam's write
queue, and the client names only fields it can see, so an unseen secret is
untouched by construction rather than by care.
P2s in the same pass: `llm/adapters-updated` now contains async listener
rejections (an uncontained one escaped as unhandledRejection, contradicting
the documented "observer failures are contained"); llm-deepseek's retry-policy
swap uses the atomic `registration.replace` instead of dispose-then-register,
which published `[]` then `["deepseek-official"]` so an observer saw the
provider disappear and come back; and a transport rejection no longer strands
the page in `loading` or a card in `busy`, with removal failures surfaced on
the page banner instead of swallowed.
- `SessionSummary.updatedAt`'s wire doc still said "Persisted file mtime",
which stopped being true for attached sessions.
- The core invariant let `session/inherited` fall through the merge-extensible
default. It is core-owned, so it gets an explicit case; an unbalanced seed
legally places it inside an open turn, which the relation permits.
- The Agent Note claimed the boundary reaches disk via `live.pending`/
`scheduleDrain`. Verified false: the constructor append precedes `enter()`,
so it never publishes on `session/event` and rides the creation seed instead.
Attaching is therefore a write where none happened before — recorded, since
only `load()` stays a pure read.
- The deferred-index proposal asserted this change documented the cold-mtime
skew on `dsh-host-apiproxy`. It did not; the README entry now exists.
- `firstLiveSeq`'s firehose gap runs through its own seq, not below it.
- The boundary is not always at `firstLiveSeq` (the idempotence guard), so
consumers scan for the last one.
- `lastActivityTime` excludes by type, so a pickup time still leaks onto a
synthetic closer when a boundary ends an open turn. Documented.
- Pin the fork claim end-to-end: a child inherits a still-running parent's
open bracket below its own boundary, while the parent has none. Fails if the
write moves back to the load path.
- Fix the telemetry title that contradicted its own assertions.
The `/status` call site cannot be pinned the way the other two are: the
command appends its own `command/run` before rendering, so the boundary is
never the log tail there. Its fixture now at least renders over a
boundary-bearing log.
Conflict resolutions:
- `session.list`: master's projection columns fold into the PR's cancellable,
batched `listVisibleSessionSummaries`, which `session.search` shares as its
visibility baseline; master's goal helpers stay beside it.
- Client sessions face: master narrowed `ctx.sessions` to `ISessions`, so the
search verb and its protocol-constant bound are declared there and the
test-runtime double implements them (recorded, empty page unless a scenario
stubs hits).
- `WorkspaceBrowser`: master's per-row Rename wiring rides the PR's search
results view; the tree keeps the PR's query-free derivations.
- `dsh web` bin: the PR's shutdown-handlers-before-readiness order with
master's boot-time LAN address snapshot.
- `session-query-sqlite`: master's `SCHEMA_VERSION` 7 stands; the PR's bump
carried no schema change.
- Specs: master wraps assistant/steering message payloads and requires an
`application/json` carrier request, so the search fixtures and tests follow.
- Web aria goldens keep master's recording plus the PR's search placeholder;
the navigation-panes inventory keeps master's terminal-card golden next to
the PR's search-results golden.
Conflicts, all in files this branch and master both touched:
- `chat/helpers.ts` — kept both sides. Master replaced the inline env
filter in `gitBranch` with `scrubbedParentEnv()`; this branch added the
surface-marker and compaction-source imports.
- `docs/module-graph.md` — regenerated. Both sides added a `tui` edge
(master `subprocess`, this branch `compact`); the generated row now
carries both.
- Three `.i18n.yaml` pairing records — re-recorded from the merged files.
Blob hashes cannot be hand-merged, and both sides' prose survives on
each side of every pair.
`docs/cordis-catalog/services.md` also regenerated for shifted source
lines and master's new `sessionTitle.rename` entry.
Eight compiler-locked methods: settings.describe/update/replace serve
redacted layered namespace views (secrets structurally absent from every
layer, write-only in the update direction) and fold seam refusals into
settings-rejected; credentials.describe/set/unset expose value-free views
with credential-rejected on shadowed writes; llm.providers merges the
configurable directory with live routes and llm.models claims the
host-scoped catalog reservation through the buildModelCatalog extraction
session.models now shares. Three HostFrame invalidations bridge the seam
events (host/settings-changed, host/credentials-changed,
host/models-changed), and the connection route generalizes the native-
dialog check into a privileged-method set covering all four writes. The
fixture and both fake clients grow the same face.
- llm-deepseek: the uncatalogued resolveModel fallback declares text-only
modalities — the wire route is text-only regardless of catalog
membership, so "unknown" must not let the host persist-then-fail images.
- session.selectModel also consults the pending-inbox mirror: a queued
image prompt enters the log only when claimed, after a switch would land.
- attachment store: ensureDurableDirectory syncs every ancestor entry up to
a caller-vouched boundary regardless of what mkdir reports — a raced
"already existed" is not "already durable".
- One image walker (imageBlockIn/imageInEvent) now serves both attachment
authorization and the selection gate; referencedImage therefore also
authorizes references inside wrapped message content.
- InputHub: the scope disposer resolves the conversation service optionally
(teardown/HMR must reach quiescence), and a send failing after its scope
died releases the in-flight drafts instead of restoring them onto a
disposed shell.
- http-bridge destroys declared-oversize requests with connection: close
instead of draining a body the client can trickle indefinitely.
- LlmService validates AND detaches modality arrays identically on the
advisory and exact routes; READMEs record the fourth INVALID_MODEL_INFO
rejection reason.
- CLI provider docs (JSDoc, README pair, Agent Note pair) describe the
reuse behavior; llm-route.spec now parses the SHIPPED cordis.yml through
the production extraction, pinning the row coupling.
- image-display lane pins gallery/rail shape in inline snapshots and the
object-URL scheme this environment must take; stale host.schema comment
dropped.
New unary method in RpcMethodMap with the title-invalid error code; the impl
resolves the agent (cold sessions resume first) and delegates to
ctx.sessionTitle.rename, returning the normalized title plus its event seq so
clients settle the title projection cell ahead of the push frame. session.fork
stays on the reserved-seam list.
- resolveLlmRoute: reuse the yml pi-ai row for providers it already routes
(DUPLICATE_ADAPTER boot failure) and detect an unset model by origin, not
by comparison against one deployment default; covered by a new spec.
- LlmService.resolveModelInfoFor preserves (and validates) modality
metadata, arming the host image preflight for exact-route resolution.
- session.selectModel refuses a text-only target once the session log
carries an image on any replayed route; an accepted switch would strand
every later turn with no in-product recovery.
- The composer no longer gates image intake on the handshake activeModel
snapshot (wrong authority for a per-session decision); the host preflight
plus the error strip own capability, deployment limits stay client-side.
- InputHub shell teardown releases the scope's draft images (File objects
and object URLs leaked for the page lifetime).
- session.prompt image parts carry optional alt into the durable block;
ImageBlock documents assistant-side rendering as forward compatibility.
- Assembled built-client lane apps/web/tests/image-display.snapshot.ts pins
the history galleries over the authorized attachment route, the lightbox,
and the composer paste rail; the attachment rail is an accessible group.
- Docs: validateImage on the seam page, fixture byte metadata matches its
PNG, and the Agent Note claims now match the shipped coverage.
Review follow-ups on the append-origin transcript projection.
The live/replay equivalence claim was stated unconditionally but does not
cover `tool/call`: only replay re-derives call pairing, because a call
event carries no `surfaceOp` of its own and inherits transcript
membership from the `assistant/message` that advertised it — which the
live listener has necessarily just rendered. Narrow the claim in the TUI
README and Agent Note, and record at `rebuildTranscript` why the filter
is replay-only rather than a missing live branch.
Add `surface-replayed-compaction`: the three existing fixtures all come
from the live path, leaving the resume case the bug report leads with
pinned only by a unit test. The new checkpoint mounts with the
replacement already stored and records byte-identical to
`surface-after-compaction-wide`, so the two fixtures now pin the
equivalence they assert. The shared fixture appends move into
`appendPreCompactionLog` / `appendCompactionCheckpoint`.
`MESSAGE_TYPES` is not "human message event types" — it includes
`assistant/message`. Say what the code distinguishes (append-origin
conversation messages vs. model-only replacement copies) at the const,
the `paginate` and `session.history` JSDoc, the apiproxy README, and the
Agent Note.
Also: spell the replace shape as `Extract<SurfaceOp, { op: 'replace' }>`
for symmetry with the module's two other uses; document why
`isCompactCheckpoint` keeps a replacement check that is redundant at both
call sites; say that Ctrl+R toggles reasoning, which rebuilds the
transcript; and qualify "the sole source of derived history" as derived
*model* history now that the transcript is the other projection.
The terminal and history pagination both treated the model-visible surface as
the human transcript. A landed compaction replacement therefore erased the
conversation it summarized — messages the reader had already seen — and a
model-only replacement copy consumed a page's `maxMessages` quota, which could
also split a compaction's provenance from the replacement citing it.
`dsh-session` now exports the marker split `isAppendSurfaceEvent` /
`isReplacementSurfaceEvent`. The terminal replays append-origin surface events,
keeps a shadowed step's tool cards paired through its append-origin assistant
message, and renders one dim marker where a compaction landed; the checkpoint is
recognized through the compaction seam's `isCompactCheckpointSource` contract,
not the shape of the replacement. `session.history` counts only append-origin
human messages. Everything model-facing keeps reading `session.surface`.
capability.list gains an optional AbortSignal threaded from the RPC
carrier's request signal (the pickDirectory pattern): a disconnected or
timed-out caller stops the opendir loop instead of the scan outliving
its caller, and the abort surfaces as its own reason rather than a
directory-unreadable dressing. boundedInsert rejects a full window's
at-or-beyond-tail candidate on one comparison and binary-inserts
retained candidates, so an oversized level no longer pays a window scan
per dirent.
Shared-surface conflicts resolve as unions: the fixture serves all five
projection keys (title/todos/permissions/plan/goal) with the /permission
and /plan command mirrors side by side, the connection specs assert the
five-key baseline and the shifted approval/question replay indices, and
the cli roster/deps, tsconfig aggregate, and README allowlist carry both
lines' rows. Plan-side content lands verbatim from master.
One end-state consolidation both branches half-did: with questions
(ui-question) and approvals (ApprovalPanel) each owning a composer
takeover, PendingCard retires outright — ChatView renders no pending
placeholder, the card component and its specs go, and both README halves
state the takeover-only contract.
