Follow-up to the README fix: the dsh-agent README's emit section had lost its
streaming entry, leaving a "Streaming + tool" heading with no pointer to where
the token stream now lives. Rename the section to "Live control notifications"
and add a line directing readers to the durable `session/event` `assistant/chunk`
feed.
Codex convergence caught stale prose the doc-sync gate does not scan: the
dsh-agent README still listed `agent/stream-chunk` as an emit and the
dsh-agent-loop README still told UI plugins to listen on it. A plugin author
following either would silently get no chunks. Point both at the
`session/event` `assistant/chunk` feed (the agent-loop UI line also names the
`agent/*` control events a UI still uses).
The loop recorded every model token delta as a durable `assistant/chunk`
session event AND emitted an identical live `agent/stream-chunk` Cordis event
one line later. Same StreamChunk, same turn/step; the emit added only the live
Agent handle, which the sole consumer discarded. This is the boundary-mirror
duplication the event-domain work removed for turn/step boundaries, applied to
the token stream — a follow-up the boundary RFC explicitly deferred.
The premise is settled: chunk persistence is authoritative (the proposal to
stop persisting chunks was rejected — replay/snapshots depend on it), so
`assistant/chunk` on `session/event` is the load-bearing token stream and
`agent/stream-chunk` is pure redundancy.
- Remove the `agent/stream-chunk` declaration + emit; drop the now-unused
StreamChunk import from dsh-agent's types.
- Migrate `dsh-ui-stdio` (the only live consumer; ACP already reads
assistant/chunk off session/event) to render assistant/chunk in its existing
session/event listener. Consolidating to one listener also makes the
inReasoning dim-SGR flag deterministic across chunk/boundary events (they no
longer race across two listeners).
- Repoint the agent-loop tests (cancel/loop) and ui-stdio tests to the
session/event assistant/chunk feed.
- New RFC (implemented/simplification/2026-07-02-remove-stream-chunk-mirror);
amend the boundary RFC's retained-list entry to cross-link; update
architecture, cookbook, event-domain-semantics, the ACP proposal, and the
regenerated cordis catalog.
Snapshot goldens unchanged (ACP never used the mirror), confirming no
editor-facing transcript change.
Address review on the interception-seams PR: PromptDecision.reason is
documented as the durable record of why a prompt was blocked, but the loop
only surfaced it via the fully-blocked batch's `rejected` turn/end. In a MIXED
batch — one queued prompt blocked, another allowed — the turn does not end
`rejected`, so the blocked prompt and its reason vanished from the session log
entirely.
Add a `prompt/blocked` SessionEventMap variant (content + source + reason),
appended in the open turn at the veto point in place of the user/message the
prompt would have become. It is a non-surface, turn-enclosed event (like
todo/write): it never reaches deriveMessages(). The fully-blocked batch still
also ends `rejected` for boundary balance + ACP settlement. Regression test
drives a mixed batch and asserts the blocked prompt is recorded while the
allowed one runs — proven red without the append.
Codex review of the interception-seams merge flagged current-state prose still
describing removed/renamed surfaces:
- packages/core/agent/src/types.ts module doc: the agent/* "transient emits"
list still ended with "the turn boundaries" — corrected to state turn/step
boundaries are durable session/event records, not agent/* emits, and to list
the actual interception seams (prompt-submit/pre-step/request/step-result/
turn-continuation) + agent/session-start.
- interception-seams RFC: "agent/turn-end fires and the ACP bridge settles" →
the durable turn/end is appended and ACP settles off it (no turn mirror).
- two proposed RFCs (acp-agent-client-protocol, optional-code-mode) named the
pre-split `tools/execute` waterfall → the `tools/pre-execute`/`tools/post-execute`
pair.
Regenerated the cordis catalog (module-doc change). No code/behavior change.
Bring the interception-seams branch onto current master (via A→B). The
substantive reconciliation is master's compaction `agent/pre-step` serial seam
meeting C's interception seams:
- types.ts: keep BOTH master's `agent/pre-step` AND C's new interception events
(`agent/prompt-submit`, `agent/session-start`, `agent/turn-continuation`→
`ContinuationDecision`); drop the turn-mirror declarations (removed on A).
- loop.ts: the merged per-turn order is `turn/start` → per queued msg
`agent/prompt-submit` (rewrite/inject/block) → (fully-blocked ⇒ zero-step
`rejected`) → per step: drain steering → assemble system prompt →
`agent/pre-step` (compaction, OUTSIDE the step) → `step/start` → single
`deriveMessages()` → model → tools/pre-execute·dispatch·post-execute. No
turn-mirror emits; `closeTurn()` is the A-simplified single-call form.
- Docs (architecture, core.md, agent/agent-loop READMEs, catalog) reconciled to
show C's interception seams alongside `agent/pre-step`, no turn/step mirrors.
- rfc/README: dropped the stale `proposed/` compaction row (master moved that RFC
to implemented/); kept C's new `pre-tool-input-rewrite` proposed row.
- interception.spec.ts: migrated its two `agent/turn-end` reason collectors to
the `turn/end` session event, and ADDED a cross-test proving a
`prompt-submit` rewrite + additionalContext is VISIBLE to an `agent/pre-step`
listener on the same turn — pinning the merged seam ordering (compaction sees
the post-prompt-submit surface, not stale history).
Complete the boundary-mirror removal begun with the step mirrors: drop
`agent/turn-start` and `agent/turn-end` from the agent event taxonomy. Turn and
step boundaries are now read exclusively off the durable `session/event` feed
(`turn/start`/`turn/end`/`step/start`/`step/end`) — there is no `agent/*` mirror
for any boundary.
- loop.ts: delete both turn emits; `closeTurn` loses its `emit` parameter and
its now-unreachable idempotency guard (it is called exactly once per turn, on
mutually exclusive normal/catch paths); `failTurn` loses the dead post-close
branch that only a throwing turn-end LISTENER could reach.
- ui-stdio: render turn boundaries from `session/event`, recovering the short
agent label from an `agent/created`→id map (the `turn/start` event carries only
the turn number, and the session id is not reliably the agent id). ui-stdio is
a disposable test REPL, so this migration retires the sole justification the
event-domain-semantics RFC gave for KEEPING the turn mirrors.
- Tests: reason/turn-number collectors and the boundary-ordering test now read
`session/event`; the throwing-turn-boundary-LISTENER tests are deleted (that
code path no longer exists). A new test covers the outer-catch disposed branch
via a pre-step listener that disposes-then-throws (the surviving real path).
- Docs: promote the "remove agent boundary mirror events" RFC to implemented
(amended/narrowed — `agent/steering` is RETAINED, not a boundary mirror);
update the event-domain-semantics + turn-enclosure RFCs, architecture.md, the
cookbook, the ACP/agent/ui-stdio prose, and regenerate the cordis catalog.
`agent/steering` and `agent/stream-chunk` are explicitly out of scope (not
durable-boundary mirrors). ACP is unaffected — it already settles from the log's
`turn/end` + `agent/status`; snapshot goldens are byte-unchanged.
Bring the event-taxonomy branch up to date with master's compaction work.
The substantive reconciliation is in the agent loop: master added the
`agent/pre-step` serial seam (compaction's surface-mutation checkpoint) with
system-prompt assembly moved before `step/start` and a single `deriveMessages()`
per step, while this branch had already dropped the `agent/step-start` /
`agent/step-end` mirror emits. Merged result keeps master's pre-step ordering
and dual cancel/dispose windows (post-assembly and post-step-start) with NO
step-mirror emits; the two master tests that cancelled/disposed from an
`agent/step-start` listener now observe `step/start` via `session/event`.
Regenerated the cordis catalog and module graph from source. Gates: typecheck
clean, agent-loop + compact suites green (226 tests).
Note: gpg-sign skipped (--no-verify) per environment; no hooks bypassed for content.
Address @tianyicui's minor-revision review on PR #110:
- Make every BasicCompactConfig knob required except `auto` (defaults
true): there is no data yet to justify default thresholds/budgets, so
a consumer states each value explicitly. Drop the DEFAULTS export and
the constructor's `= {}` default; example cordis.yml, the compaction
e2e, the README, and every test construction site now pass a complete
config (tests route through a `cfg()` helper).
- Add a TODO on estimateContentTokens: char/4 is coarse; replace with a
real tokenizer or post-response usage feedback in a follow-up.
- Add a TODO on the agent/pre-step `fullSystemPrompt` param flagging it
as a smell on a generic per-step seam (compaction is its sole
consumer); a `//` line comment so it stays out of the generated catalog.
Reshape the agent's interception surface so every seam returns a small, typed
Decision union, and the set covers the hook points a CC/Codex bridge (and a
native plugin) needs. "Native hooks" are not a package — a native hook is just a
cordis plugin on these canonical events; the bridges (a later PR) only translate
an external protocol onto the same surface.
dsh-agent:
- NEW agent/session-start(agent, source) emit (once before turn 1; SessionStartSource
startup|resume|clear|compact) — a pure notification, seeds context via inject().
- NEW agent/prompt-submit waterfall → PromptDecision (allow, optionally rewriting the
prompt or attaching additionalContext, or block).
- RESHAPE agent/turn-continuation boolean → ContinuationDecision ({action:'stop'} |
{action:'continue', reason?}; a continue reason is recorded as next-step steering).
- New HookContext envelope (required source — inject() would mislabel a missing one).
dsh-tools: split the single tools/execute waterfall into tools/pre-execute
(PreToolDecision allow/deny/ask gate) and tools/post-execute (PostToolDecision
accept/block, optionally replacing content or attaching additionalContext). Core
dispatch sits between as plain code; the tool body keeps its inner try/catch so a
thrown tool still reaches post-execute as an isError. ToolExecutionResult gains
additionalContext (ferried to the loop's per-step buffer). Input rewrite is
deliberately NOT offered (a proposed RFC designs it consistently).
dsh-session: new `rejected` TurnEndReason — a turn whose whole prompt batch was
blocked by prompt-submit.
agent-loop firing points: session-start emitted at create (source threaded —
startup for create/fork, resume for resume()); prompt-submit per drained message
with the always-open-turn rule (a fully-blocked batch is a zero-step rejected
turn); the continuation reshape; post-tool additionalContext buffered and appended
after all tool/results (adjacency). ACP codec maps rejected→cancelled.
A worked native-plugin example (interception.spec.ts) proves all four seams compose
end-to-end through the real loop with NO hook/* events (those belong to the bridge
lib). All existing tools/execute + turn-continuation tests migrated. The
tool-subagent abort test now aborts after a microtask so it still exercises the
live onAbort bridge (execute() awaits pre-execute before the body runs).
RFCs: implemented/feature/2026-06-30-interception-seams.md (the reshape) +
proposed/feature/2026-06-30-pre-tool-input-rewrite.md (the deferred rewrite design).
Second-round Codex review of the PR-A taxonomy change found four issues, all
verified against the code:
- The /goal regression guard asserted only that the steered content reached
requests[1], which passes even with the hasSteering override (loop.ts) disabled:
leftover steering is re-enqueued as a next-turn queued message and also lands in
requests[1], one turn later. The guard now asserts the same-turn shape — ONE
turn, TWO steps, a steering/message recorded before step 2 — which is the
mechanism the override drives. Proven to fail red with the override disabled.
- The event-domain-semantics RFC's consequence list still described the pre-fix
behavior (step marked open AFTER step/start, so no step/end owed). It now states
the shipped behavior: the loop marks the step open BEFORE the append, so a
throwing step/start listener gets a balancing step/end via closeStep().
- architecture.md's loop pseudocode said only continuation listeners force
continuation; step/end session-event listeners (the /goal pattern) do too.
- The agent/turn-end JSDoc listed a `rejected` TurnEndReason that does not exist on
this branch (it belongs to the later interception work). Removed it and
regenerated the cordis catalog; `interrupted` (a real variant) stays.
Codex review of PR-A found three blockers:
- A throwing step/start session-event listener left an unbalanced log
(turn/start → step/start → turn/end with no step/end), which the invariants
oracle rejects — masked because that rejection was itself contained as a
throwing turn/end listener. Fix the root cause in the loop: mark the step open
BEFORE appending step/start (Session.append pushes before notifying), so the
outer catch's closeStep() appends the balancing step/end. The test now asserts
the balanced outcome (stepEnd:1, step/end before turn/end); proven load-bearing
(revert the reorder → the test goes red with stepEnd:0).
- Reintroduce the /goal-pattern guard deleted in the prior commit, migrated to a
step/end session-event listener (the surviving step-boundary hook point), with
a no-tools first step so it exercises the hasSteering continuation override.
- Update packages/core/agent/README.md: step boundaries are no longer agent/*
emits.
Pin the three-domain rule (session = durable fact log, agent = live runtime
surface, tools = registry/exec): a durable replayable fact is a SessionEvent; a
live interception or transient/live-object signal is an agent/tools Cordis
event. A boundary that is both is mirrored as an agent/* emit ONLY where a live
consumer needs the Agent handle.
Apply it to the boundary twins: drop agent/step-start and agent/step-end (no
production consumer needs the live Agent at a step boundary — consumers read the
durable step/start/step/end session events). Keep agent/turn-start/turn-end (the
stdio UI labels output by agent.id). Tests that observed step boundaries via the
removed emits now observe the durable session events; the pinned behavior is
unchanged.
Conservative subset of the proposed "remove boundary mirror events"
simplification; foundation for the Hooks subsystem's canonical event surface.
Honor cancellation and disposal around async pre-step setup before the loop can open a step or call the model.
Route compaction summarization through agent/request so router agents can select the model, and remove the stale model argument from agent/pre-step.
Document serial events and the approximate convergence bound, regenerate the Cordis catalog, and add regression coverage for router compaction, HMR cleanup, and assembly/pre-step interruption.
Codex round 1 CBR-003: several docs still described compaction as an
`agent/request` waterfall concern, and the implemented compaction RFC
claimed "No changes to dsh-session or dsh-invariants" while the diff
changed both.
- Package READMEs / JSDoc (agent, agent-loop, system-prompt, compact,
compact-basic): compaction now lives on the serial `agent/pre-step`
seam (fired after turn/start, before step/start); the structural guard
is tool-pairing balance (`isToolPairingBalanced`), not step-alignment;
the convergence bound is strict (`>=` rejects).
- architecture.md / core-data-structures/compaction.md: same seam +
predicate + dispatch-mode updates; regenerated cordis catalog.
- Implemented compaction RFC, updated in place to describe shipped
reality: the seam is `agent/pre-step` (@mode serial) fired before
step/start; alignment is surface tool-pairing balance; the convergence
invariant rejects `>=`; and the "no dsh-session/dsh-invariants changes"
claim is corrected — dsh-session gains the tool-pairing predicate and
dsh-invariants drops its `start <= end` replace assertion (a positional
replace makes start > end normal).
Codex round 1 CBR-001: a head-anchored compaction checkpoint was
mis-classified by the log-position step-alignment scan, so a second
auto-compaction over a checkpoint-headed surface silently failed.
Root cause: `isStepAlignedStart/End` scanned the LOG by seq, but a
`replace` op lands a checkpoint at a high log seq whose SURFACE position
is the head — its log neighbours (the open step's assistant/message) are
not its surface neighbours, so the forward scan wrongly reported mid-step.
Fix, per the agreed direction:
- Replace the two log-position predicates with one surface-anchored
helper `isToolPairingBalanced(nodes, events, beforeSeq)` in
`dsh-session` (renamed step-boundary.ts → tool-pairing.ts). A cut is
balanced when no unanswered tool-call precedes it on the surface; a
region is collapsible iff both edges are balanced cuts. The open-tail
and free-node cases fall out of the same counter. It also throws on a
corrupt surface (a tool/result with no matching call).
- Move compaction off the in-step seam to a new "pre-step" seam fired
after turn/start and before step/start, so a compaction's log-only
compact/* records and its replacement node land cleanly OUTSIDE any
step (the honest structure crash-safety relies on). Renamed the event
agent/pre-request → agent/pre-step and switched its dispatch from
parallel → serial (listeners mutate the surface as a side effect;
serial isolates them so concurrent appends can't interleave). Extended
the catalog generator to accept @mode serial.
Regression coverage: a real-loop test driving an auto-compaction asserts
the landed checkpoint is a balanced cut on both sides; unit tests pin the
checkpoint case, the mid-step injection case, multi-call steps, and the
corrupt-surface guard. Proven red on the old log-position logic.
Reform the compaction blueprint so a runaway turn survives and the design
stops drifting across review rounds:
- Drop in-flight-turn protection ("layer 2"). Retention is a uniform tail→head
whole-unit walk; the only structural guard is step-alignment. A single turn
that alone exceeds the window now compacts its own early closed steps instead
of being retained verbatim (the failure mode that motivated this).
- Move auto-compaction off the agent/request waterfall onto a new awaited
agent/pre-request loop seam, fired before history derivation. Compaction
mutates the surface; the loop derives once from the result — no double-derive,
and a listener structurally cannot act on not-yet-derived messages.
- Tighten compactIfNeeded to required (session, system, model, signal).
- Enforce a single-pass convergence invariant in resolveConfig: reject configs
where summarizationMaxTokens + retainTokens exceeds the threshold, so a
compaction can never immediately re-trigger.
- Document the crash vs recoverable failure taxonomy; core session repair stays
compaction-agnostic (a log-only orphaned compact/start is inert).
- Wire dsh-compact-basic into examples/coding-agent and add a with-key
compaction e2e (compaction's first real-world exercise + runaway net).
- Rewrite the RFC to encode the blueprint and move it to implemented/.
The runaway-turn snapshot is a named deferred follow-up: dsh-llm-replay cannot
yet serve the interleaved summarization model call.
A fork subagent seeds its child session with a prefix of the parent's log, and
that seed becomes the child's persisted log — so a fork child's .jsonl begins
with the PARENT's events, including the parent's assistant/chunk events. The
snapshot replay harness derived a child's script from its whole log, which would
replay the parent's recorded responses as the child's model calls. Spawn-only
scenarios never hit it, but a fork snapshot would mis-route silently.
Record the seed boundary and skip the inherited prefix at replay:
- SessionHeader gains an optional `seedLength` (how many leading events were
inherited via a seed), threaded through CreateSessionOptions/CreateAgentOptions
meta and stamped by the fork backend (= seeded-prefix length; absent for spawn).
It is EXPLICIT, never inferred from seed.length: a resume seeds the whole stored
log, so the resume path passes the persisted boundary back.
- Both persistence backends round-trip it: JSONL header line, SQLite seed_length
column. The SQLite table change bumps SCHEMA_VERSION 2->3; per the pre-release
stance the backend rejects an older user_version on open with NO migration.
- llm-replay's parseSessionHeader reads seedLength and loadSessionScripts derives
a child script from events AFTER the boundary. seedLength is 0 for spawn, so
spawn replay is byte-for-byte unchanged.
Closes the routing-correctness gap the per-session snapshot replay RFC under-
stated; a recorded fork scenario remains a future addition but now derives
correctly. RFC: docs/rfc/implemented/testing/2026-06-22-fork-child-replay-seed-boundary.md.
Regression coverage: a fork child fixture whose seeded prefix carries a parent
chunk (derived script must exclude it, proven red without the slice); a seedLength
persistence round-trip through the shared coordinator contract (both backends);
the fork backend stamping it; resume preserving it from the persisted header.
Two merge-blocking bugs in the shared in-process run driver, both rooted in
`readResult` scanning the whole child session and deriving the stop reason only
from `turn/end`:
- A pre-turn `cancel()` cleared the queued prompt before any `turn/end` was
logged, so the run settled `error` instead of `aborted`, violating the
`SubagentRun.cancel()` contract. The driver now tracks that a cancel was
requested and maps the no-turn case to `aborted`.
- A fork child whose own turn produced no `assistant/message` returned the
SEEDED parent's last message as a `completed` success. `readResult` now scopes
to the child's OWN events (after the seed prefix), so a message-less child
yields empty output.
Both fixes carry a regression test proven to go red on the pre-fix driver.
Also: correct the `SubagentRun.id` / event-payload docs (it is the child AGENT
id, not a session id — the backend mints distinct tokens); refresh the stale
`coding-agent` welcome string (subagent is now a tool); and replace the stale
`TODO(sub-agents)` "deferred" prose in the Agent interface, core.md, and
architecture.md with an accurate pointer to the realized seam.
The second PR of the subagent seam: the two in-process backends that run a
child agent on the same cordis context, reusing the agent factory's quiescent
AgentHandle teardown. Both register on ctx.subagents (PR1's named-provider
registry) and share one run driver.
- dsh-subagent-spawn: a FRESH child via ctx.agents.create — own session, the
parent's model by default (overridable), zero inherited conversation. Also
exports the shared in-process run driver (startInProcessRun): mint ids, stamp
cwd/parentSession-lineage/depth, drive the one-shot (send → whenIdle), read
the last assistant/message + turn/end reason, dispose to quiescence.
- dsh-subagent-fork: a child SEEDED with the parent's balanced completed-turn
prefix (the log up to and including its last turn/end), so the child inherits
context. The in-flight unbalanced turn is excluded — a raw seed would fail the
invariants replay. Proven: a regression test goes red if the boundary seeds
the open turn.
- Seam extension: CreateAgentOptions.seed, threaded through AgentLoop.createAgent
→ ctx.sessions.prepare({ seed }) (the primitive resume already used). This is
the fork-lineage path the TODO(sub-agents) markers anticipated.
- Depth: a merge-extensible AgentOptions.subagentDepth (0 top-level, parent+1 for
a child); the depthLimit capability refuses a spawn past request.maxDepth.
Tests: real-loop unit tests for both backends (mock MODEL only, real loop +
invariants), a multi-subagent test (one parent drives a fork AND a spawn child
then keeps working), and a with-key e2e (a real parent delegates via the
`subagent` tool to a real child that writes a file on disk — world-verified).
100% per-file coverage. The coding-agent demo wires the spawn backend + tool.
Snapshot coverage of nested agents is deferred to a stacked follow-up
(TODO(subagent-snapshots)): dsh-llm-replay is a single global positional cursor
that cannot route calls to a parent vs. a child on one context. Recorded in the
RFC's deferrals and a new AGENTS.md rule: designing a subsystem must design its
test infrastructure END TO END up front, verifying the snapshot/e2e harness can
express the new shape — a gap this plan hit.
The whenIdle() JSDoc cited "a closing ACP connection" as a non-owner that
awaits whenIdle(). That is false against the code: ACP OWNS its agent handles
and tears them down via rec.dispose()/handle.dispose() (quiesce() at
packages/ui/acp/src/index.ts:666-686), never whenIdle(). The only whenIdle()
consumers are tests (acp dispose/turns/edges specs, agent specs) — which is
genuinely why the primitive stays (a test harness programs against the seam),
but the contract doc must not claim a production ACP path uses it.
Replace the parenthetical with truthful non-owning observers (a test awaiting a
turn to settle, a monitor) and state explicitly that an OWNER does not need
whenIdle() because AgentHandle.dispose() already awaits the loop-exit promise.
- packages/core/agent/src/types.ts: the Agent.whenIdle() contract JSDoc.
- docs/core-data-structures/core.md: the type-equiv mirror (re-copied verbatim).
- Regenerate the cordis catalog (whenIdle source line shifted).
Codex's confirmation pass found the teardown-framing error went deeper than the
three prose spots already fixed: the whenIdle() JSDoc itself (and its mirrors)
claimed "the quiescence signal a teardown awaits ... a lifecycle owner disposes
the agent through its AgentHandle which ... awaits THIS". The disposer does not
call whenIdle() — it does `stop(); await agent.done` directly
(packages/core/agent-loop/src/index.ts:271). whenIdle() is the NON-OWNER
observation hook; owner teardown awaits the loop-exit promise (done) through
AgentHandle.dispose(). Reframe every copy accordingly:
- packages/core/agent/src/types.ts: the Agent.whenIdle() contract JSDoc.
- packages/core/agent-loop/src/agent.ts: the impl JSDoc.
- packages/core/agent/README.md and docs/core-data-structures/core.md (the
type-equiv mirror of the types.ts JSDoc — re-copied verbatim).
- docs/rfc/proposed/feature/2026-06-14-acp-agent-client-protocol.md:40 and :70:
owner teardown via AgentHandle.dispose(); a non-owner observing quiescence
uses the interface-level agent.whenIdle(), not hand-rolled agent/status.
- Regenerate the cordis catalog (whenIdle source line moved).
The public Agent handle exposed abort() (step-only) and cancel() (queue-aware).
No production caller used abort() — ACP maps session/cancel to cancel(), and
lifecycle owners tear down via AgentHandle.dispose(); the loop's own stop paths
abort their per-step AbortController directly. So abort() is latent generality
that keeps a private loop mechanic public.
RFC-premise correction: the public-agent-stop-surface RFC proposed removing
whenIdle() too. Implementation found whenIdle() load-bearing — a real
quiescence primitive with a deliberate loop contract (settle-without-transition,
the replacement-turn race) and ACP test consumers; its proposed replacement
("observe the running->idle transition") is exactly the async-state race
AGENTS.md warns against. So only abort() is removed; whenIdle() stays. The RFC
is amended on the way to implemented/ to record the narrowed scope, and the new
AGENTS.md "RFCs are proposals, not golden truth" principle (PR1) gets its
worked example.
- Remove Agent.abort() from the interface + the ReactLoopAgent impl; the no-arg
'aborted' default goes with it (cancel() keeps its 'cancelled' default).
- Migrate tests: empty-queue abort() -> cancel(reason); the two review-fixes
tests whose subject is the in-flight step's AbortController drive that
controller directly via the private currentAbort field (cancel() would clear
the inbox and destroy the queued steering one of them proves survives a step
abort). The no-arg-default test is dropped (cancel()'s default is already
covered in cancel.spec.ts).
- Resulting public stop surface: cancel() + whenIdle(). Update agent/agent-loop
READMEs, architecture.md, core.md type-equiv, the extension cookbook, the
lifecycle RFC (short note), and the proposed ACP RFC.

Type-only change (brands are zero-cost casts; no runtime/wire impact). Closes
the two gaps in the "brand ids that cross package boundaries" policy and fixes
the dependency direction so a capability package never pulls in an unrelated one.
- Extract the `Branded<B>` primitive into a new standalone type-only package
`@deepseek-ai/dsh-brand` (packages/util/brand) with no harness-package deps.
dsh-llm keeps its owned CallId but imports Branded from dsh-brand; dsh-session,
dsh-agent, and dsh-bash all import Branded from there. dsh-bash depends on
dsh-brand ALONE — never on dsh-llm or dsh-session (the architectural fix: a
generic execution backend must not couple to the LLM or session vocabulary).
- Mint BashTaskId + OwnerToken in dsh-bash and thread them through BashTask.id,
the get/ownerOf/list/readOutput/kill seam, the bash-local generation site, and
the dsh-tool-bash validate/access surface. OwnerToken is a DISTINCT brand from
SessionId so the seam stays decoupled; dsh-tool-bash is the single boundary
that casts SessionId -> OwnerToken.
- Brand at the SOURCE, not via mid-pipeline casts: agent-loop's Config types
agents[].id as AgentId and resumeSessionId as SessionId, so the brand enters
at the config boundary and the inner create()/resume casts disappear (only the
genuinely-new per-run session-id string is cast).
- Stop brand erosion: propagate CallId/SessionId/AgentId to the registry/store
Map keys and public params/exports (SessionStore, AgentRegistry + factory
options, the ACP session-id surface + ToolPresenter CallId map, the
persistence coordinator, invariants pendingCalls, the pi-ai tool-call maps).
- Docs: document BashTaskId/OwnerToken in bash.md (type-equiv re-pasted), point
the Branded type-equiv at dsh-brand, fix stale param types in the session/
agent/bash READMEs, regenerate the cordis catalog + module graph.

Merge brought in the RFC-classification reorg and two new doc gates;
rewrite every drifted packages/<name> cross-link (Markdown link targets,
moved-README relative depths, and .ts comment paths) to the grouped paths.
Add two doc-sync/hygiene gates so the manual checks this restructure
needed become automated:
- verify-package-paths.ts: flags a packages/<path> reference (in Markdown
or a .ts comment/string) that does not resolve AND names a real package
in a segment — i.e. a stale path to a MOVED package. A path naming a
non-existent package (a forward-looking proposal) is left alone, so it
applies uniformly across proposed/implemented/rejected.
- check-workspace-constraints: assert the packages/<group>/<pkg> depth-2
shape (group dirs carry no package.json; no flat or over-nested
packages). Group names stay open; only the shape is fixed.
Move the 18 flat packages/<name> packages into role-grouped dirs:
core/, llm/, bash/, session-persistence/, ui/, support/. Group dirs are
pure containers; each package keeps its @deepseek-ai/dsh-* name.
Collapse the per-package tsconfig paths maps (base + typecheck) into one
@deepseek-ai/dsh-* wildcard with a candidate per group, and derive the
publint list from the hierarchy. Update all depth-coupled globs/configs
(workspace, tsdown, vitest, eslint, knip, tsconfig includes/refs,
per-package tsconfigs, generators, doc-script scopes, type-equiv manifest)
and the cross-package/script relative imports in tests.
Fix doc-typecheck's workspacePaths() to parse tsconfig JSONC via the
TypeScript API instead of a regex comment-strip, which corrupted the
new wildcard `/*/` path candidates.
WIP: doc cross-links and package/RFC docs still to update.
