ctx.subagents.interrupt() stops one live continuable child's current turn
via Agent.cancel(cause, { keepInbox: true }) under either a human durable
parent address or an exact live ancestor Agent. Fire-and-return: admission
is synchronous, quiescence is not awaited. Pending inbox work, the
Activation, and published descendants are preserved; only a later waking
send resumes the parked FIFO queue. Absent, one-shot, and disposing
targets are accepted no-ops.
The new Host RPC subagent.interrupt calls only that primitive with user
authority — no catalog, history, persistence, or parent-registry lookup —
so a live child stays stoppable while its parent Agent is offline.
Refs #1535
Once a pi-ai route became a declaration rather than a catalog lookup,
adding an OpenAI-compatible gateway meant knowing its model ids up
front. Most such endpoints publish that list at `GET /models`, but no
seam operation could ask: every one is keyed by a registered provider
route, and the provider being added has no route, no stored profile,
and no stored credential — the endpoint and key are values in a form.
Interrogation is therefore keyed by settings namespace, which a
configuration surface already holds from the configurable-provider
directory. `registerModelDiscovery` offers it per namespace,
`discoverModels` asks, and the request carries the draft itself. The
reply is candidates, not a catalog: every field but the id is optional
because most listings disclose nothing else, and adopting one is a
settings write like any other. Nothing here reads or writes settings or
credentials, so `settings.yaml` still decides what a route serves.
`llm.discoverModels` carries the same draft over the wire. Its apiKey is
the third and last payload a secret may ride, and it is never stored,
logged, or echoed; every refusal folds into `model-discovery-failed`,
naming the endpoint asked but never the credential offered.
The pi-ai side is a plain GET for OpenAI-compatible protocols only —
their listing shape is the one gateways, self-hosted servers, and the
official endpoints agree on. Others say so, sending the user to
hand-entry rather than reporting a guessed shape as an empty provider.
The reply is read under a four-megabyte ceiling held on the bytes
actually received, because the endpoint is a URL the user typed.
workspace.archiveSession answers the full updated archive set;
workspace.list carries the set as the reconnect baseline; the host
stream pushes host/archived-sessions-changed full snapshots from the
domain/changed global-put branch (same posture as workspace-changed).
Unknown sessions map to the existing session-not-found code.
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.
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.
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.
The rename impl narrows on SessionTitleInvalidError: only an
empty-normalizing title maps to title-invalid (its message renders verbatim
in the rename dialog alert), while liveness/disposal races fall to internal;
the absent-service message trims to one presentable sentence. rpc-schemas
gains the title-invalid accept/missing-details lines; cosmetic ordering
(type-only import comment, tsconfig reference, schema import order) restored.
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.
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.
Conflict rulings follow the projection-reattach plan:
- host/runtime package (deleted on master): take master; the PR's boot
composition moves to the cordis.yml roster and its goals handlers will be
re-landed in dsh-host-apiproxy; the session.prompt slash interception and
its spec are dropped entirely (superseded by command.execute + command/run
logging).
- client core (rewritten on master): take master; the PR's Session goal
fields/methods, ConversationSnapshot.goal, goalActions injection, and the
hard-mounted GoalBar are all superseded by the 'goal' session projection
(useProjection) and will return as the ui-goal plugin.
- wire contract: union of master's workspace/command/skill domains and the
PR's goal domain, minus goal.get (the read side is the projection block +
session/projection frames; six mutation RPCs stay).
- GoalBar component and spec leave ui-conversation (they re-land in the new
ui-goal package); IconSparkle16 stays in ui-conversation chat.
- The web-slash-command-dispatch note documents the dropped interception and
is removed; the goal-bar note will be rewritten for the projection model.
- pnpm-lock.yaml taken from master (reinstall recomputes).
The web GUI's folder picking was hardwired to one interaction: a native
OS chooser compiled into the gateway, unusable for remote deployments
and swappable only by editing apiproxy source.
Directory picking becomes a three-package capability seam in
packages/host: ctx.directoryPicker returns a discriminated capability —
dialog (the extracted native chooser; host-display only) or browse
(new: one-level listing + child creation over Node stdlib, hidden flags
host-stamped, symlinks followed, ancestry crumbs; remote-capable). The
gateway injects the seam, advertises the kind via
host.describe.directoryPicker, serves host.listDirectory /
host.createDirectory under browse, and answers
directory-picker-unavailable across kinds. cordis.yml is the swap
point; apps/cli keeps dialog mounted, so behavior is unchanged until
the in-app browser PR flips the default. The connection fixture serves
a deterministic browse tree; WorkspacesService gains the browse calls
the browser UI will drive. Decision record:
.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-28-directory-picker-capability-seam.md
Browsers send "simple" POSTs (text/plain, form encodings) without a CORS
preflight, so a malicious page could execute side-effectful RPCs blind —
the response stays unreadable cross-origin, but session.prompt would
still run. The carrier now answers 415 unless the declared media type is
application/json, forcing every cross-site attempt into a preflight this
server never answers. Raw-fetch specs gain the header; a new handler case
proves the fence rejects before the impl runs.
