The deliverable is plan mode — retitle and reorder the proposal opener so
the feature leads and the logged session-mode state is its implementation
property. Fix the Codex citation in the boolean-planMode alternative: Codex
has plan mode (/plan); its ACP mode list carries its approval presets — two
different surfaces. Durable vocabulary (mode/set, ctx.modes, dsh-mode) stays
string-shaped so a second mode never renames logged event types.
The zh.md counterpart (section-for-section mirror per the i18n contract:
identical heading structure, byte-identical text fences, same link targets)
plus the recorded i18n.yaml and the language-switcher lines on both sides —
matching the approval / sandbox / env-state RFC practice.
Re-audited against origin: master unmoved; approval seam still on
feat/sandbox-support; three relevant branches appeared since drafting.
- env-state-visibility RFC (fold-from-log + boundary application for env
facts): adopt its boundary-narration principle for user-driven mode flips
(one coalesced notice when the flushed mode differs from the last request
header's fold; net-zero silent; tool exits self-narrate via result), and
resolve the one real collision — its config-phase sketch routes ACP
session/set_mode to env facts while this RFC claims the picker. Proposed
division: picker-to-modes / knobs-to-config-options; a mode definition may
later bundle env facts; second lander amends. Also note the source-field
contrast (env drift has no log-adjacent cause; every mode/set does).
- sandbox-escalation: first live approval composition — named as the
precedent our recorded scenarios follow.
- ask-user-question / user-interaction seam: the stdio approval answerer
rides its one-prompt-owns-stdin queue where mounted.
- Config: pin the allowlist as the degenerate form of a per-tool
allow|deny|ask map so execution-phase ask policies arrive without a
config migration (deferred on approval's allow_always).
- Dedup the ACP mapping (one home: Protocol and UI surfaces).
Adds the Detailed design block: the mode/set vocabulary (no provenance
field — cause is log-adjacent; bare-string mode names), ModeConfig with an
explicit resolve step, the cursor-cached fold + ctx.modes service with
turn/start|step/end pending flush, the computed mode:policy section (order
50) + post-next() assembly filter (exit_plan_mode visible IFF plan mode —
what keeps default-mode assemblies byte-identical), the fold-only gate with
its ask on exit_plan_mode (no dsh-approval dependency — the registry
routes), the exit tool contract and render intent, dependency edges and the
stdio/ACP surfaces, the input.json setMode op + plan-mode/plan-mode-reject
scenarios (mode set before turn 1 → the initial header snapshot is already
in plan shape; the widening delta appears at exit), and the mechanical tail.
Consistency fixes: the plan allowlist names real tools (no grep tool
exists); the re-widen risk now states the post-next() mechanism instead of
a listener-order convention.
A session mode is a named, logged, per-agent policy state: mode/set as a
log-only SessionEventMap member (todo/write shape), a foldMode over the log,
soft enforcement at system-prompt/assemble (filtered schemas + mode section,
auto-logged as request/header-delta), hard enforcement at tools/pre-execute
(deny-by-default against the mode allowlist), and a thin ctx.modes service
with turn-boundary pending-intent flush for user flips. One new product
package dsh-mode (packages/mode/mode, the approval-group shape); plan is the
only shipped definition.
Lands as ONE feature — a plan mode without a model-driven, approvable exit is
not a smaller version of the feature. The roadmap's two stages are build-and-
review order for a single stacked landing: the mode core, then exit_plan_mode
(ask-gated through the approval seam; the plan text rides the tool args as
the reviewable log artifact), the stdio readline answerer, and the ACP
session-mode surface (session/set_mode, current_mode_update, available
modes). Hard prerequisite: the approval seam lands first; the stack bases on
feat/sandbox-support meanwhile.
The timeout convergence on this branch made timedOut/aborted mutually
exclusive — one fused deadline reports the single cause that first cut the
command short — as the timeout-library RFC documents deliberately. The seam
type's JSDoc still described the old independent latches, so a consumer could
code the wrong contract. State first-cause classification on both fields and
cross-link the RFC. Docs-only; the code already matches.
finish() derived the exact omitted count from the pre-trim prefix/suffix
budget, but the UTF-8 boundary trims drop additional partial-codepoint bytes,
so an "Omitted N bytes" notice overstated what was kept (head maxBytes:2 over
'a€b' returned 'a' but claimed exact 3 when 4 bytes are absent). Derive the
count from the bytes actually returned (total − keptPrefix − keptSuffix) so
exact metadata matches the text and atLeast stays a valid lower bound.
When headTail budgets cover the whole stream, omitted is 0 and the two
retained halves are contiguous — the split is artificial and a multibyte
codepoint can straddle it. finish() now decodes the contiguous buffer as one
in that case; the per-side UTF-8 boundary trims and separate decoding apply
only when a real middle gap exists. Without this, a headTail retainer could
drop a character while reporting truncated:false.
Master's generated config catalog (#188, flattened paths #191) now records
plugin Configs; the nudge removal dropped structuredNudgeRetries from both
backends, so the regenerated catalog loses those rows.
The markers are touched mid-script, so runPoint's continuation chain (child
exit → merge → the listener's detached .then) can still be in flight when the
marker poll resolves; a vitest worker that exits first leaves the inject
condition's short-circuit path uncounted. Observed as a CI-only 99.03%
branch-coverage flake on hooks-claude — surfaced by this branch shifting suite
timing, latent before it. Two macrotask rounds pin the path deterministically.
Ship @deepseek-ai/dsh-retention under packages/util/: pure ItemRetainer /
TextRetainer plus neutral notice helpers, so tools that cap model-facing
output share one "what did we keep, what did we omit, may we stop reading"
mechanic while keeping grouping, exit codes, provider errors, and recovery
prose tool-owned. The two retainers are separate names because they differ in
resource model: item-head can stop the upstream on the first over-cap probe
(shouldStop), while text tail/head-tail must read to the end. The library
documents glob/grep/bash/web_fetch/web_search mappings but migrates no tool
yet — glob/grep don't exist, and migration is deliberately separate work.
Flips the RFC to implemented/ and rewrites its skeleton to shipped reality.
The parent branch dropped structuredNudgeRetries; the two workflow-side test
setups stop passing it, and the RFC's foundation paragraph now describes the
current design (final-ASSEMBLY enforcement logged via request/header, the
post-capture pre-execute deny, the start() schema snapshot, no re-prompt)
instead of the retired agent/request + nudge shape.
Two human review directives:
- No re-prompt. A structured child that finishes a turn cleanly without
calling structured_output settles error to the parent immediately —
readResult already carried that mapping; the nudge loop only delayed it.
Deletes the loop, its cancellation-window guard, STRUCTURED_OUTPUT_NUDGE,
and the structuredNudgeRetries Config on both backends.
- FIXME in the structured module doc: per-agent/per-session tool registry and
prompt assembly would dissolve the final-assembly enforcement dance (the
placeholder tool, the swap, the strip, the global-registration lifetime).
Residuals from the Codex re-review:
1. A system delta's insert was flattened to one token, so deltas differing
only in inserted-line count compared equal. Now one {{system}} token per
inserted line — position AND extent survive, content does not.
2. The live uniformity guard folded only request/header snapshots, so a
mid-run header CHANGE (request/header-delta) could diverge from the pin
invisibly. Non-pinning runs now assert zero header-delta events: a
scenario that legitimately changes its header mid-run exists to show
that change, so it must pin (fail-loud until it does).
Codex review findings on the pinned-header change:
1. scrubRequestHeaders flattened a request/header-delta's whole
system/tools payload to one token, so two meaningfully different deltas
compared equal. Now the structural facts survive — keepStart/keepEnd
line positions, added/removed/changed tool NAMES — and only the bulk
(inserted prompt lines, schema bodies) is tokenized.
2. The one-pin design rested on an unasserted premise (all sessions
compose the same header). Every non-pinning scenario now asserts, live,
that each request/header its run produces equals the pinned fixture's
header (both sides normalized against their own volatile values), so a
session-dependent header fails loud until it gets its own pin.
Verified the guard bites: perturbing the pinned fixture's prompt fails
a non-pinned scenario with the intended message.
3. RFC de-slopped per docs/AGENTS.md: no PR reference, no SHOULD
spec-speak; Decision/Verification/Consequences updated for 1 and 2.
Codex round-3: alias prose matches the gate's strength only when the
target's own contract is prose-only. An export-import alias to a
function, class, or namespace target (or an unresolvable one) is now
refused — those carry signature/member contracts the alias cannot
hold; export the declaration directly instead. Const/enum/interface/
type-alias targets keep the self-documentation contract.
Tests pin the refusal for function, class, and namespace targets;
module doc and RFC updated.
Two bot findings on the structured runtime:
- Terminal means terminal WITHIN the step: a model response listing
structured_output before further tool calls executed those calls after the
final answer was accepted (the turn-continuation veto only fires at step
end). A third runtime listener now denies every call for a captured agent
at the tools/pre-execute gate — dispatch skipped, isError result naming the
contract. Calls preceding the capture in the same response are untouched.
- The output schema is structuredClone'd before the subset assertion: the
caller keeps its reference, so asserting and attaching the original let a
post-start() mutation drift the enforced schema away from the asserted one.
The clone pins assertion, model-visible parameters, and validation to one
value.
The manifest excluded docs/tool-catalog/ and docs/persistence-catalog/ as
directories; the trailing slash is a deliberate path boundary, so the
flattened single files no longer matched and lost their generated-doc
classification — the gate would have accepted a hand-added .zh.md twin it
must reject. The entries now name the files.
Codex review of the draft: the abort-on-dispose tests asserted only that
dispose() resolved and no warning fired — a regression back to untracked
fire-and-forget runs would pass both. The hook script now records its
shell PID before sleeping, and after dispose the test asserts
process.kill(pid, 0) throws: the drain resolves only after the killed
run settled (the child reaped), so ESRCH-by-dispose-return is
deterministic under the correct implementation, while an alive or
unreaped process fails it. Verified the discriminator by gutting drain()
locally: exactly these two tests fail.
Review findings on the config catalog:
The transitive-paste closure deduplicated by bare name, so two DIFFERENT
package-local declarations sharing a name would silently collapse to the
first one pasted — and a reference satisfied by the wrong declaration is a
wrong catalog, not just a thin one. Every resolution is now identity-checked
by source pointer: reaching the same declaration again is benign, while a
name that resolves to two distinct declarations, to conflicting imports, or
to a declaration in one file and an import in another is a violation — a
verbatim fence has a single flat namespace, so the fix is a rename at the
source. A spec case pins the two-declarations collision.
docs/config-catalog.md also joins the translation-pairing exclusions: it is
a generated English-only doc, and without the entry the gate would accept a
hand-added .zh.md twin it must reject.
Codex round-2 review found three adjacent fail-open shapes:
- Wrapped function expressions escaped classification: parentheses,
as/satisfies casts, and non-null assertions are now peeled before the
arrow/function test (initializers and default exports), and a
single-call-signature type literal counts as the surface signature.
A literal mixing call/construct signatures with anything else is
refused outright — no single signature to hold the tags against.
- The blanket 'export import X = N.member' skip was unsound (the target
can be a non-exported namespace member no walk visits): an alias now
documents itself.
- The heritage extra-parameter duty missed binding-pattern extras,
which no base declaration can name: they now trigger the standard
binding-pattern violation.
Five new negative-path tests pin the closed shapes; module doc and RFC
updated.
Restack on the carved-out foundation (#192), per review feedback on #170.
The seam files resolve to the carve-out's revision — its prompt-order
neutrality fix (backends no longer inject 'tools'; the structured runtime
gates its own capture-tool registration) restores the subagent tools to
master's front position, so every recorded fixture is re-recorded on the
stacked tree and the authored error-finish/cancel headers re-patched to the
stacked tool list ([subagent, subagent_fork, workflow, todo_write, ...]).
Every session.jsonl fixture embedded the full composed system prompt and
complete tool-schema list in its request/header event (~8 KB on one line,
identical across the suite), so any prompt or tool-schema edit forced a
re-record or hand-edit of every fixture — see the dynamic-workflows PR for
the churn pattern this removes.
Now exactly one scenario (text-turn, flagged pinsHeader) commits and
compares that content verbatim; every other fixture stores and compares it
as {{system}}/{{tools}} tokens via the new pure scrubRequestHeaders
normalizer (applied to both compare sides and to record-mode writes, so a
re-record cannot reintroduce the content). request/header-delta payloads
are scrubbed the same way; config/reason stay verbatim — a model swap
SHOULD churn every fixture, a prompt edit should not. Replay is unaffected:
script derivation reads only assistant/chunk events.
Fixture meta-guards enforce the split: non-pinning fixtures must be fixed
points of the scrub, the pinning fixture must not be, and exactly one
scenario pins. Committed fixtures migrated through the same function.
Docs: pinned-header RFC (implemented/testing), base snapshot RFC + testing
policy + llm-replay module doc/README updated.
Carved out of #170 per review feedback — the foundation the workflow tool
builds on, now standing alone on master:
- dsh-tools: the structured-output JSON Schema subset (StructuredOutputSchema,
assertSupportedOutputSchema, validateStructuredValue) — rejects loud outside
the enforced subset, listing every violation
- dsh-subagent: SubagentStartRequest.outputSchema / SubagentResult.structured
become a real capability; the service rejects a schema'd request whose
provider lacks it
- dsh-subagent-inprocess: the shared structured runtime — one global
structured_output capture tool, a prepend final-assembly listener that
strips the placeholder for plain agents and swaps in the run's own schema
(plus the calling instruction as a trailing section) for structured
children, an agent/turn-continuation veto once captured, and the
capture/nudge loop in the run driver (structuredNudgeRetries, cancellation
honored mid-nudge); lifetime refcounted by backends and live runs
- subagent-spawn / subagent-fork flip outputSchema: true
One deliberate divergence from the #170 revision: the backends do NOT add
'tools' to their plugin inject. Doing so deferred their apply past the todo
plugin, and the delegation tool mirrors provider lifecycle — so the
model-visible tool order of every existing prompt changed, invalidating every
recorded snapshot fixture. The runtime now gates its capture-tool registration
on tools availability itself (sync when live, a scoped inject fiber when the
Loader starts the backend first), keeping this PR byte-invisible to existing
transcripts: all 35 snapshot scenarios pass against master's fixtures
unchanged.
