Semantic resolutions beyond line merges:
- The bash seam keeps resolveMode + the bash/resolve-mode waterfall on
master's task-free BashExecutor (run/start/resolve only; BashProcess
handles); tool-bash consults it at its stamping site and escalation
baseline on master's render/background split, with a waterfall test on
the recording executor.
- dsh-mode's BASH_FAMILY narrows to ['bash']: bash_output/bash_kill are
replaced by the kind-generic task_output/task_kill, which span every
task kind and only observe or stop work, so the access cap withholds
only the starter it can reason about.
- The plan-mode snapshot suite adopts master's pin grammar (tool-schema
sidecars; the expectedHeaderSnapshots extension is gone — the exit
transition deltas, and entering-before-turn-1 needs no second
snapshot); modes-advertise joins the plan header class (no-model, so
membership is vacuous). Fixtures re-recorded on the acp-demo bin;
the replay overlay gains the passthrough sandbox runner.
- examples/plan-acp-agent rewires to @deepseek-ai/dsh-acp-demo and drops
its tool-bash entry (the spine bundle now composes it); dsh-stdio (the
renamed stdio-chat home) keeps its /mode command and gains the dsh-mode
peer edge; the acp bridge keeps the modes surface beside master's
permission presets.
- mode README gains the Model Experience / Known Limitations sections the
new README gates require; AGENTS.md ceiling 1370 → 1440 for the kept
mode/ layout line and Agent efficiency section.
Comparing a feedback-time PR commit directly with the landing merge lets unrelated target-branch changes satisfy a review comment and creates false adoption evidence.
Define feedback-time and final PR-specific patch snapshots, fail closed when the landing shape cannot be reconstructed, and require a target-only negative control before implementation.
A saved complete-file candidate could overwrite newer skill guidance, while a provider-wide outage was indistinguishable from a healthy no-op run. Record the source blob and provenance, reject drift during promotion, and make total adapter failure visible.
Align cadence and feedback acquisition with the evidence contract, and narrow the borrowed-state and negative-control checks so they do not contradict the package and testing standards.
The background-task change repeated its lifecycle design across implemented RFCs, package READMEs, JSDoc, test commentary, and model-visible schemas. That repetition obscured the contracts that maintainers must preserve and added avoidable prompt tokens.
Rewrite the implemented RFCs around the current design, keep authorization, exact-owner cleanup, wait/abort ordering, producer quiescence, and teardown-failure guarantees at their owning surfaces, and remove peer surveys, review history, control-flow narration, and emphatic restatement.
Shorten the task and subagent schema wording, synchronize the bilingual tool cookbook, and regenerate the config, service, RFC, tool, and replay snapshot derivatives. Runtime behavior is unchanged; test edits update prose-only assertions and descriptions.
Entry point for the skill's operator and for any future handoff: what the
private periodic tool produces, where the saved candidate diff and SKILL.md
land on the operator's machine, and how the promote helper turns the
operator's decision into a draft PR from a clean master checkout. Companion
to the maintenance RFC.
Repair cross-group README links whose targets changed groups
(ui/jsonrpc, ui/app-boot -> examples; examples/* -> ui seams),
re-record the bilingual-pair consistency hashes for the docs the
rename touched on both language sides, and condense the AGENTS.md and
packages/README.md group entries. The packages/README ceiling rises
710 -> 760 for the mandated new examples/ hierarchy row (5% headroom).
Move the agent-spine bundle and the stdio/ACP/JSON-RPC app packages out of
core/ and ui/ into a new packages/examples/ group, renamed with a -demo
suffix so the npm name marks them as non-product surface:
core/agent-core -> examples/agent-spine-demo (dsh-agent-spine-demo)
ui/stdio-agent -> examples/stdio-demo (dsh-stdio-demo)
ui/acp-agent -> examples/acp-demo (dsh-acp-demo)
ui/jsonrpc-agent -> examples/jsonrpc-demo (dsh-jsonrpc-demo)
Update every code/config/test reference and reference-only doc mentions, and
regenerate module-graph, config-catalog, and doc-graphs. The jsonrpc bin
(dsh-jsonrpc-agent) and single-file exe (dsh-jsonrpc-agent-pkg) keep their
names; the SDK runtime-startup surface is reconciled separately.
Beyond line merges: python/sdk-runtime's deploy manifest gains
@deepseek-ai/dsh-mode — the single-exe closure gate
(verify-runtime-closure) requires every workspace peer of dsh-acp, and
the bridge's type-only peer edge on dsh-mode counts; the AGENTS.md
efficiency section is condensed to fit the 1820-word ceiling after
master's single-exe additions. Catalogs and graphs regenerated.
Conflict resolution beyond line merges: the ACP bridge's mode/set
re-notify moved inside master's new containment finally (a throwing
presenter must not desync the picker), and session/new keeps the modes
advertisement beside master's plain object return. dsh-mode's boundary
flush moved off the session/event feed onto the loop's interception
seams (agent/prompt-submit / agent/turn-continuation): master's scoped
dispatch made post-commit session observers observe-only — an append
from one re-enters the publishing append — while the two waterfalls
fire outside any log emit and bracket the same boundaries; mode.spec's
boundary helper now dispatches those seams via agentEvents, and the
containment tests stub only the mode/set append. Catalogs, doc graphs,
and the module graph regenerated.
A ModeDefinition is now exactly { section, access? }; unknown keys (a
tools list included) fail loud at load. What plan mode still does: the
guidance section, the exit_plan_mode visibility rule (plan only, both
soft surfaces), the access cap's bash/resolve-mode clamp, and the two
cap-derived pre-execute guards (the bash trio is withheld when no
confining executor can honor the cap; sandbox escalation is denied
while it holds). The general deny-by-default gate and the assemble
allowlist filter are gone: which tools a mode admits is an effects
question, and a hand-maintained name list mislabels it — it must track
every composed tool and rots silently as tools arrive. The dimension
returns as a consumer of effects self-declaration on tool definitions
(MCP ToolAnnotations as the template) — rationale and restart trigger
archived in the RFC's Alternatives/Deferred; the interim guidance-only
non-shell restraint is priced in Consequences.
Exiting plan is now a pure removal (the exit tool + section), which the
delta encoding CAN express: the re-recorded plan-mode fixture pins one
plan-shaped initial header snapshot plus one header-delta instead of
two snapshots.
The stack rebases onto a moved master through its base branch. Beyond
mechanical unions (both branches' demo scripts, example rows, service
roles, tool lists, acp deps, doc budgets — each side fit alone, the
union needs the higher ceilings), three semantic reconciliations:
- The ACP bridge now carries BOTH per-session surfaces: the sandbox
stack's config options + approval answerer and this branch's session
modes; session/new and session/load advertise modes AND configOptions
side by side.
- The feature matrix supersedes the sandbox stance per the RFC's
second-lander rule: session/set_mode and current_mode_update flip to
shipped-by-dsh-mode, config-option rows stay as #169 wrote them, and
§6 records both landed features under the picker-to-modes /
knobs-to-config-options division.
- The snapshot pin grammar (#254: one header snapshot + declared deltas
+ a Markdown prompt golden) gains a symmetric declaration for what a
delta cannot express: expectedHeaderSnapshots — a plan-mode flip
resorts the canonical tool list, so its widening lands as a second
full snapshot, now its own Markdown section. The pin-less-class and
model-turn-only-pin amendments carry over; new fixtures cover the
extended writer paths, and the plan-acp-agent scenarios re-recorded
under the merged composition (the app now bundles the skill tool)
with the suite's refresh mode wired through.
Every packages/*/* README now carries a canonical '## Known Limitations and
Deferred Work' section: condensed, evidence-backed bullets for consumer-visible
gaps (unimplemented features, platform caveats, MVP cuts) and consciously
postponed work (TODO/FIXME/XXX markers, RFC deferrals still open). The ten
pre-existing ad-hoc variants ('What is NOT here (TODO)', 'Deferred',
'Limitations (MVP)', 'Known limitations (tracked TODOs)', ...) are normalized
into the canonical heading.
A new doc-sync gate, scripts/verify-readme-limitations.ts, enforces the shape:
exactly one limitations-like heading per package README, byte-equal to the
canonical h2, with at least one bullet; near-miss headings fail so variants
cannot creep back. Packages with genuinely nothing to declare (dsh-brand,
dsh-timeout, dsh-subagent-mock, dsh-app-boot) are whitelisted in the script and
must NOT carry the section; whitelist entries are validated against the scanned
package set so a rename fails loud.
Wired into the doc-sync chain (package.json) and the run-gates doc-sync leaf
set; the standing rule lands in packages/AGENTS.md and the adding-a-package
cookbook; decision record in
docs/rfc/implemented/process/2026-07-10-readme-known-limitations-gate.md
(RFC index regenerated).
Also fixes two stale '(deferred)' markers claiming dsh-compact-basic is
unimplemented (the dsh-compact seam README's package table and the seam's
module doc comment).
