scripts/gen-config-catalog.ts walks every packages/<group>/<pkg> entry with
the TypeScript compiler API and emits docs/config-catalog.md: per loadable
plugin, the verbatim config declaration (JSDoc included) its apply/constructor
receives in a ts config-catalog fence, the inject requirements, resolved links
for every referenced type (package-local types pasted transitively, other
plugins' config types as intra-page anchors, LINK_MAP names to
core-data-structures, workspace types to source), and terse classification
lists for config-free plugins, abstract seams, and libraries — classification
is total, so a new package cannot go undocumented.
The walk enforces per-field JSDoc prose on every pasted declaration and
statically cross-checks the schemastery schema (z.object keys, z.intersect
composition across packages): every schema-validated key must be a declared
member of the config type. One violation existed repo-wide — the agents[].id
field in dsh-agent-loop — fixed by adding its JSDoc (which shifts the
cordis-catalog services page's source pointers; regenerated).
verify-config-catalog (--check) joins doc-sync; doc-typecheck learns the
ts config-catalog fence; gen-cordis-catalog exports its JSDoc/pointer helpers
and LINK_MAP for reuse. Negative-path spec in
packages/core/agent-core/tests/gen-config-catalog.spec.ts mirrors the
gen-cordis-catalog spec. Decision record:
docs/rfc/implemented/process/2026-07-06-generated-config-catalog.md (includes
the deliberate acceptance of README ## Config overlap).
The review's critical finding: the engine README and the tool
description read as if the missing filesystem/network/Node globals were
enforced, but a script can reach the host Function constructor via
globalThis.constructor.constructor and from it process and every Node
builtin. Per the trust premise this is ACCEPTED (model-written scripts,
bash-equivalent trust; genuine sandboxing is the deferred engine swap
already listed) — but the docs must say so instead of implying a wall.
The trust-premise sections (engine README, module doc, RFC) now name
the escape and its acceptance; the model-facing tool description says
the APIs are not PROVIDED rather than implying they are prevented.
A cancel that lands AFTER a child's clean turn end but before the nudge
continuation runs clears nothing — child.cancel() only kills queued or
running work — so the loop's turn-state check alone let a later
child.send() spend a fresh post-cancellation turn (and even capture a
structured result the caller had already abandoned). The loop condition
now also reads the run's own cancelled flag, re-evaluated after every
whenIdle(), through an accessor because closure assignments are
invisible to control-flow narrowing (an inline read lints always-true).
readResult keeps the outcome honest on this path: a completed-but-
uncaptured turn maps to aborted, not error, when a cancel is why the
nudging stopped — the cancel contract outranks the schema shortfall.
Three review findings on the engine's child seam, one mechanism each:
- Cancellation now bridges to run.cancel() on every in-flight child, not
just the shared request signal — the subagent seam leaves a provider
free to honor either channel, so the consumer drives both (listener
removed in the child finally).
- A child result REJECTION (an infrastructure fault the seam allows) now
emits the paired workflow/agent-end before propagating, and propagates
as a fatal WorkflowError with the new AGENT_RESULT code — previously it
skipped agent-end (permanently open child for seq-matching observers)
and dissolved to a per-item null inside parallel()/pipeline(), letting
a broken provider read as an ordinary failed child. A rejection landing
after cancel stays a cancellation (cancelled outcome + CANCELLED).
- Every hook now guards its entry with a shared throwIfCancelled():
phase()/log() no longer emit observer events after a script caught an
earlier cancelled rejection, and parallel()/pipeline() refuse entry —
cancellation is the next HOOK boundary, not just the next agent().
The two tests that wait for two children IN FLIGHT (the pipeline
no-barrier test and the dropped-promise cancellation test) inherited the
engine's auto-resolved maxConcurrentAgents, which is
min(16, max(1, cores - 2)) — exactly 1 on the 2-core CI runner, so the
second child never started and vi.waitFor timed out. Reproduced locally
under taskset -c 0,1; the full spec passes there with the helper pinning
a fixed ceiling. Tests about the ceiling itself keep their explicit
overrides, and the auto-resolve arm stays covered by the
default-config provider tests.
CI (node 24/26) failed on the exact-boundary construction: advanceTimersByTime(100)
then an immediate upstream.abort() let the manual abort win the race on some
runtimes, so timeoutOf returned undefined. Advance unambiguously past the deadline
and assert the timeout classification before firing the late abort — that late
abort is now asserted as a no-op, which is the real first-cause-wins invariant.
Round 2 P2: timeoutOf() accepted ANY TimeoutReason, so under nesting — when
the upstream handed to deadline() is itself a deadline (the RFC's named
tools/execute middleware follow-up) and its outer timer fires first —
AbortSignal.any preserves the outer reason and the inner bash/web would report
the outer timeout as their own (timedOut / WEB_FETCH_TIMEOUT) though their local
timer never expired. Add an optional code to timeoutOf; bash and web pass their
own code, so a foreign timeout falls through to the upstream-cancel path.
Round 1 P3: the "No timeouts on file IO" section left the file ending in a
blank line, which the trailing-newline whitespace gate rejects. Declined P2
(late abort after a timeout is lost): that is the RFC's decided trade-off —
mutually-exclusive first-abort classification — and re-latching aborted would
violate the acceptance criterion.
Timeout timing/classification was re-implemented three ways across the
tool-bearing capabilities, with the fusion of timeout+cancel and the
timeout-vs-cancel reason recovery being the error-prone parts. Extract that
shared half into a zero-dependency @deepseek-ai/dsh-timeout library
(clampTimeout/deadline/timeoutOf/TimeoutReason) and leave the non-shareable
hard-kill in each capability, per the timeout-library RFC.
bash: run() owns the deadline; runBash drops its killTimer and no longer
classifies (SpawnSpec/SpawnOutcome lose timeoutMs/timedOut/aborted), so the
public timedOut/aborted booleans become mutually-exclusive first-abort
classifications. web_fetch: the hand-rolled controller/timer/listener/
signal.reason dance is replaced by provider-owned deadline/timeoutOf, keeping
the WEB_FETCH_TIMEOUT / WEB_ABORTED contract. fs stays timeout-free (README
states why).
The compact-basic README's opening line still described summarization
as routed through the agent request pipeline — corrected to the direct
one-shot llm/stream contract the rest of the package documents. The
proposed Code Mode RFC gets a premise-stale note: it names the old
full-request agent/request seam, which now shapes call config only —
re-map onto the log channels and system-prompt/assemble before
implementing from it.
Codex diff review, round 1, two (A) findings:
- The agent/request fallback resolved the RAW seed object — on later
steps the session's cached header fold — so a delegating listener
(await next(), mutate, return) could rewrite the fold in place and
the change would compare as already-baseline: no delta logged, the
persisted log unable to reconstruct the request (the dev invariant
would fire on the divergence, but the log would still lie). One
structuredClone'd, deep-frozen seed now serves both the listener
chain and the fallback — in-place shaping after delegation throws —
and Session.requestHeader() freezes its fold on update, so the leak
class is unrepresentable from either side. Pinned by a loop-level
delegating-mutator test.
- Doc sweep for the old contract: agent README's event row (mutate
GenerateOptions / tool filtering → frozen config seed, replacement
out, logged header), compact-basic's module JSDoc (summarize routed
through agent/request → direct one-shot at llm/stream), and
architecture.md's event-domain line (request mutation → call-config
shaping).
surface.replaceGeneration gets its direct-access test (the getter folds
a pending delta itself, not only via a nodes read); the reconstruction
theorem drives maxTokens and stop through the config waterfall; the
compact-basic envelope drops a dead conditional — config.maxTokens is
required and validated positive, so this backend's envelope always
carries the cap (the return type's optionality exists for overriding
subclasses).
The reconstructability RFC is the principle's home: model-visible ⟺
logged in both forms, the mechanism (boundary derivation + header
fold), the enforcement (write-time round-trip guard, the dev
invariant), the corollaries ranked (prefix-cache stability first), the
MiniCode lineage with the provenance arrow inverted, and the
alternatives it beat — including the stateful transmission client
whose three-design archaeology lives in PR #162.
Placements per the one-home-per-fact taxonomy: a standing-order line in
root AGENTS.md (with displacement trims to stay inside the 1,575-word
ceiling), the principle statement in architecture.md § Session Log and
its Turn Flow lines (condensed to the ratcheted 1,630 ceiling), the
request-envelope section in core-data-structures/core.md with the
LlmCallConfig paste, both review-requested FIXMEs
(FIXME(call-config-shape) beside the type, FIXME(catalog-verbs) at the
catalog's drift-gate note), cookbook rows redirected off agent/request
(tool filtering → system-prompt/assemble, plan-mode prompt → sections/
inject()), and the llm/stream JSDoc stating the frozen-request
contract. RFC index and all generated catalogs regenerated.
One re-record after the header events landed: recorded scenarios
re-harvested against the live API; the three fs-writing fixtures are
relativized (this recording's model happened to emit absolute
file_path arguments, which only round-trip through replay when the
path is cwd-independent) and, with the two never-re-recorded authored
scenarios (error-finish, cancel), rewritten in the normalized
authored-fixture form the harness documents — each now carrying the
request/header snapshot the loop logs before its first dispatch.
Keyless replay verified green across all 35 scenarios.
compact/summary gains { model, maxTokens? } — the envelope the
summarize call actually used, reported by the backend that made the
call: summarize() now returns { summary, model, maxTokens? } instead of
bare blocks, so an overriding backend (template or remote summarizer)
reports its own envelope honestly and compactRegion logs it. 'Which
model wrote this summary' becomes answerable from the log alone, and
the one-shot summarize request — outside the loop's header-event fold
by design — is reconstructable from log + code (the reconstructability
RFC's scope statement).
Beyond the mechanical conflicts (provider capability lines vs master's new
inheritsParentContext field; generated catalogs regenerated rather than
hand-merged; knip/lockfile), three master-side reworks required semantic
adaptation of this branch:
- The persona rework removed AgentOptions.systemPrompt, which was the
structured-output instruction's channel. The instruction now rides the
SAME final-request enforcement listener that injects the schema'd tool:
appended per request to final.system (per-request wire state, not agent
prompt state). Tests assert the wire request (adapter.requests) instead
of child.options; the bare-direct-dispatch test pins the no-system arm.
- Tool guidance moved out of deployment prompts into per-tool prompt
sections; the examples' workflow paragraph became a tool:<toolName>
section contributed by dsh-tool-workflow (explicit-ask-only policy),
and both example personas resolve to master's minimal identity+behavior
form. tool-workflow gains inject: systemPrompt (+ peer dep, tsconfig
ref); the export-shape guard updated.
- The uniform-RFC-format gate: the dynamic-workflows RFC restructured to
the implemented/ skeleton (bare Status line; Proposal -> Decision;
What-was-rejected -> Alternatives considered; new Consequences), and
the overall-run-timeout deferral is now recorded in the RFC's Deferred
list. The doc-graphs atlas classification gains the workflows seam
(workflow-vm implementation, tool-workflow consumer).
Master's harness-identity section made "empty assembled prompt" states
unreachable through the loop, so the instruction-append is a plain
undefined-ternary and the structured tests assert append-not-replace.
All snapshot goldens (including workflow-run) replay unchanged. Full
local CI-equivalent gate sequence green on the merged tree.
