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.
commandId crosses three boundaries (session log, wire admission response,
client flow pairing), so per the branded-id rule it becomes
Branded<'CommandId'>, declared in a new pure @deepseek-ai/dsh-commands/brand
outlet (the dsh-llm/brand shape: type + constructor, no Context merges, so
wire and client programs can name it without loading the host plugin). The
event payloads, CommandExecution, and the executor mint carry the brand; the
wire schema gains commandIdSchema as the domain's single brand-cast point
(the approvals precedent); CommandNode and the fixture's fabrication cast
follow type-only.
CommandService.execute now returns a CommandExecution — the normalized
result plus the commandId minted for its command/run/command/done records —
and the wire admission value carries commandId exactly when matched, so the
issuing client can correlate its RPC acknowledgment with the flow node the
lifecycle events produce. apiproxy api/schema/handler, the connection
fixture, and the TUI/plan/goal consumers follow the new shape.
The line field is deleted (pre-release, no shim): name and args are
parseCommand's own split — name plus verbatim rawInput with its separator
whitespace — so a consumer (a projection unit folding its own command
records, a rich command card) never re-parses a line. CommandNode mirrors
the split (name/args, both null on a run-less cross-window node); the
generic card rebuilds its display line as /name + args. The connection
fixture logs the same structured payload.
The wire response now carries only the matched bit — CommandExecuteResult
is deleted from the api, schema, and client mirrors (pre-release, no shim);
outcomes ride the durably logged command/run/command/done pair broadcast on
the mux stream and render as flow nodes. ui-command's runDetached→noticeFor
outcome routing is retired: admitted commands surface nothing through the
composer, while admission misses (matched:false, syntax feedback) and
transport failures keep their immediate notice. The connection fixture
mirrors the host: an admitted command appends the lifecycle pair to the
session log instead of returning result text.
- host trio kept on the merged api-proxy: session.models (provider-grouped
advisory directory), session.selectModel (validated provider, advisory
model), installAgentLlmTarget threaded through create/resume/ensureSession;
the gateway declares the llm inject it reads
- history no longer piggybacks modelTarget: the current target travels on
session.models alone (the /model popup is the sole consumer)
- new @deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-model plugin: /model popupSelect over the
wire — options load the directory (group label in the detail column,
provider-local failures listed inline), onSelect routes selectModel;
failures ride the popup shell's error/retry surface
- ModelSelector package, conversation.composer.control slot, and the
Session-side modelSelection state machine are removed: model selection
belongs to the /model popup; the named conversation.input.model seat
stays empty until a control-seat entry is designed for it
The session/queued frame no longer carries steering — AgentMessage no longer
has the field. The client derives it from the same ordered turn boundaries the
host saw (a frame arriving while a turn is open joined the steering FIFO).
