The seven behavior-pinning snapshots (workspace-flow, slash-flow,
todo-display, session-title, session-actions, terminal-card,
code-mode-fixture) asserted per-package behavior through the whole
built app: every assertion now lives in the owning package's suite at
equal strength (SlotTestRuntime benches assemble the same plugin apply
over the production slot machinery), while the assembled layer kept
re-failing on unrelated churn at 10s-timeout debugging cost.
What only this lane can prove is the artifact plane: lib/client.js
bundles loading through the ModuleLoader path, staged boot activation
across the inject layers, per-plugin CSS injection, and a journey
reaching chat content over the fixture transport. built-boot.snapshot.ts
pins exactly that, and nothing else — behavior assertions belong to the
package suites.
The Loader resolves each config row against the composing app, so moving the
TUI composition from examples/ into apps/cli left eleven rows unresolvable from
the built bin: `node apps/cli/lib/bin.js` died at boot with "plugin(s) failed to
load". Source-mode runs hid it, because tsconfig paths resolve the whole
workspace regardless of who declares what.
Also declares `dsh-llm-pi-ai` and `dsh-tmux-context`, which a personal
`~/.dsh/config.yaml` inserts to swap the model adapter. Those previously
resolved only because the config lived under examples/, whose package.json
declares the union of every leaf's plugins.
Caught by running the built bin from a scratch directory, which is how a user
actually starts it.
`dsh` shipped two config trees that were 43 rows the same: apps/cli/cordis.yml
composed web as 74 flat rows, while the TUI booted examples/tui-agent/cordis.yml
whose single `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui-demo` row mounted twelve plugins behind a
twenty-key pass-through Config. Neither file was what its location claimed —
apps/cli hardcoded the "example" as the product default and the "demo" bundle
was the application — and every capability change had to be made twice.
- apps/cli/base.cordis.yml holds the 43 shared rows; tui.cordis.yml and
web.cordis.yml are patch lists stating only what differs per surface
- overlays apply as SIBLING patch lists at one include level, because include
patches never cross an include boundary. Precedence: base < surface <
(--config | personal ~/.dsh/config.yaml) < launcher flag/profile patches
- `--config` now applies an overlay INSTEAD OF the personal one, so a demo or
test tree never inherits the user's route; new `--config-replace` boots a file
as the entire tree (the old `--config` behaviour). Both survive /resume
- vendor/include: index each `insert`ed row as it is added so a later patch can
configure or disable it. Upstream built the id index once before the patch
loop, leaving every surface-only row — the whole TUI front door — silently
unpatchable from user config. Logged as local modification 8
- session identity moves to dsh-agent-loop's CONFIGURED_AGENT_IDENTITIES_KEY;
dsh-tui's MAIN_SESSION_ID_KEY is deleted (only the bundle read it)
- delete examples/tui-agent, examples/cordis-agent, packages/examples/tui-demo;
TUI tests → apps/cli/tests, cordis e2e → packages/cordis/tool-cordis/tests,
examples/code-mode survives as an overlay leaf
- `dsh web` gains --config, threaded into AppCLIEntry as an extra overlay
Three latent defects surfaced and are fixed here: the TUI captured the optional
sessionQuery service once at construction and could permanently disable /resume
when it won the mount race; the session-store root silently reverted to a
project-local ./.sessions; --config-replace was dropped by the resume handoff.
Verified by booting each tree through the real Loader (TUI 55 entries, web 75,
zero unsettled) rather than reading YAML. All eight terminal snapshots replay
byte-identically; 14/14 PTY smoke, 112/112 snapshots, 25/25 doc-sync, hygiene
and lint clean.
