Codex review: the RFC claims the fixtures prove each guard fires, but the
binding-pattern guards (events + services), the service no-prose branch,
and the empty-@param/@returns-description branches had no focused tests.
Add the five missing cases; every violation branch in the generator now
has a matching fixture.
gen-cordis-catalog now hard-errors (aggregated, not fail-fast) when an
event lacks description prose or a payload @param, or a public service
method lacks JSDoc, a @param per parameter, a @returns on a non-void
result, or an explicit return type annotation. The this receiver and the
trailing waterfall next are exempt on events (mode machinery owned by
@mode); a stale @param naming no real parameter errors, mirroring the
@mode contradiction check. parseJsDoc now ends prose at the first block
tag (standard JSDoc semantics), so the tags never change the rendered
catalog — only Source: line pointers moved.
Fills the ~139 gaps found across the 15 surface files, extends the spec
with negative-path fixtures for every new guard plus the exemptions,
records the decision as an implemented process RFC, and extends the
AGENTS.md typed-events bullet with the authoring rule. Runs inside
verify-cordis-catalog -> doc-sync, so CI and pre-push enforce it with
zero new wiring.
Master's docs-overhaul stack (#142-#144) rewrote AGENTS.md into the
slim budget-gated form and repointed the review skill's citations.
Resolutions:
- AGENTS.md: master's rewrite wins; the no-hardcoded-tunables
convention is re-added as one terse bullet in the new style, after
'Explicit > implicit at package seams'. Within the verify-doc-budgets
ceiling, so no displacement or raise needed.
- dsh-code-review SKILL.md: master's repointed citations win; the
hardcoded-tunables reviewer check and the Conventions keyword are
re-applied on top.
- packages/README.md: master replaced the hand-maintained dependency
list (which carried this branch's chars-per-token wording) with a
pointer to the generated module graph — master's side taken whole;
the estimator wording lives on in the compact package READMEs.
The convergence pass found four summary-level sites still describing
the estimator as fixed char/4: packages/README.md (twice), the compact
group and interface READMEs, and compact-basic's package.json
description. All now say chars-per-token with the charsPerToken
default, matching the authoritative package README/module doc/RFC.
A Codex review pass on the draft caught four real gaps and two solid
suggestions; all addressed except one pushed back on the merits:
- hooks-claude/hooks-codex: stderrSummaryMaxChars was the one new knob
with NO range validation — a negative/NaN cap would silently
misbehave inside slice(). Both bridges now assert a positive integer
at the TOP of apply() (before the config-file parse's early return,
so a bad value fails the load loudly), with rejection tests.
- tool-fs: the read caps count lines/chars/bytes, so positive-FINITE
was too loose (a fractional readLimit would flow into windowing
arithmetic and the schema description). All four now require a
positive integer, matching tool-web's cap.
- Doc drift the gates cannot catch: tool-web's README tools table
still named WEB_SEARCH_MAX_RESULTS as the mechanism; compact-basic's
README/module doc and the compaction-capability-seam RFC still
described estimation as fixed char/4 rather than the charsPerToken
default.
- subagent-acp: the dispose graces were tested only at the
startAcpRun level, so a regression that stopped threading plugin
config into AcpRunSpec would have survived. A provider-path test now
drives the trap-escalation scenario through ctx.subagents.start with
small config graces and bounds dispose at 4s.
Pushed back on: converting compact-basic's charsPerToken to a
schemastery field. The package's whole config is deliberately
hand-rolled (resolveConfig, every threshold REQUIRED with no default —
a documented design posture); one schemastery field beside it would be
incoherent. The knob is cordis.yml-reachable, defaulted, and validated,
which is what the convention requires; migrating the package to
schemastery wholesale is pre-existing config-surface hygiene out of
this change's scope.
The audit swept every packages/*/* plugin for the new AGENTS.md
convention (no hardcoded tunables in plugins) and exposes each finding
as a defaulted, validated Config field. Defaults are the previously
hardcoded values throughout, so no deployment or golden changes.
- tool-fs (had NO Config): readLimit, readMaxLineLength, readMaxBytes,
readStreamMinSize. The caps thread through ReadToolCaps/ReadWindow —
read-render already documented that the consumer applies the caps, so
they become explicit per-request fields.
- tool-web: searchMaxResults (WEB_SEARCH_MAX_RESULTS stays as the
schemastery default). Also fixes the stale GREP_LIMIT references in
search.ts and the web-capability-seam RFC (no such constant exists).
- bash-local: graceMs (SIGTERM->SIGKILL escalation grace). The
RunInternals.graceMs test seam is gone: graceMs is now a required
SpawnSpec field filled from config, so tests exercise the real
config path and the defaults live in exactly one place.
- subagent-acp: disposeEofGraceMs / disposeGraceMs. The AcpRunSpec
fields become required for the same one-defaulting-layer reason.
- session-persistence-sqlite: journalMode ('wal' default; the
rollback-journal modes serve filesystems where WAL's shared-memory
files do not work, e.g. network mounts).
- hooks-claude + hooks-codex: stderrSummaryMaxChars for the persisted
hook/result stderr summary. The duplicated summarize() helpers merge
into hook-protocol's summarizeStderr(stderr, maxChars), beside the
HookResultRecord field it feeds, with the bound parameterized the
same way runHook's defaultTimeoutMs already is.
- compact-basic: charsPerToken for the token estimator (default 4, the
English-text heuristic; CJK-heavy deployments need ~1-2 or compaction
fires far too late). Also corrects the BasicCompactService class doc,
which claimed defaults the required-field config never had.
- fs-local: deletes the dead STREAM_MIN_SIZE constant and the dead
FsIoInternals.streamMinSize seam — the read-routing bound lives in
the consumer (tool-fs), where it is now config. This is item 1 of
the proposed prune-write-only-fs-surface RFC, annotated accordingly.
Every new field gets range validation (following the existing
assertPositiveFinite pattern), a README row, and tests covering the
configured behavior, the schema default, and load-time rejection.
ImageBlock had no production producer and every consumer dropped it:
the deepseek serializer skipped it, the pi-ai converter skipped it as
unrepresentable, the ACP bridge neither advertises image prompt
capability nor forwards image blocks, and compact-basic charged a flat
85-token estimate and rendered an [image] placeholder. A block
constructed today would silently vanish from the wire — the vocabulary
advertised a capability no path honors, the silent-data-loss shape the
defensive patterns warn against. The only constructors were tests
pinning the skip/estimate branches.
Remove ImageBlock and its ContentBlockMap entry (its cache?: CacheHint
field leaves with it; CacheHint itself and the other two cache? fields
are out of scope). compact-basic loses its explicit image estimate and
placeholder arms (the merge-extensible default arms absorb the case);
the deepseek serializer, pi-ai converter, and ACP codec already handled
image in their default arms, so only their image-naming comments
change. The codec's inbound rejection of ACP-protocol image prompt
content stays — that guards wire content a client can send regardless
of our vocabulary.
Tests that constructed harness image blocks to pin the removed branches
are dropped (the 85-token estimate pin) or retargeted onto plugin-added
block types / other non-text blocks, which the surviving default arms
own. Docs, the type-equiv pastes, and the content-block vocabulary
RFC's block list and multimodal-home consequence are updated in the
same change; the RFC moves to implemented/ and the index is
regenerated. A real multimodal feature reintroduces image via
declaration merging together with the adapter mapping, ACP
advertisement, and compaction pricing that honor it.
stdio-chat.spec.ts imports ContentBlock/StreamChunk types from
@deepseek-ai/dsh-llm; the manifest entry lived on the folded package
and did not move with the tests. Declared peer+dev like the module's
other harness deps (the src consumes dsh-llm vocabulary through the
session events it renders).
The module/README prose claimed both guard-covered failure classes
would otherwise exit 0; only the failed-IMPORT class does (an init
throw already exits non-zero via Node's default handler — the guard
contributes the labelled line and the guaranteed exit(1), as its own
JSDoc says). The dependency-graph row now says loader/include (include
is a peer: boot() names it by entry string, so the installed consumer
provides it). The bins are self-executing compositions, not main()
wrappers.
The four near-twin helpers the two published bins carried — loadEnv,
installFailLoud, assertEntriesLoaded, boot — live once in
packages/ui/app-boot, parameterized by the bin's diagnostic prefix and
injectable at their side-effect seams (warn sink, process slice), so
every branch sits under the per-file 100% coverage gate: the unit suite
drives boot() in-process against the real Loader (relative-specifier
configs) through both the settled-tree path and the fiber-less-entry
rejection, and exercises the ENOENT/unloadable .env split, the
Error/non-Error/stackless fail-loud arms, and the disabled-entry
exclusion. resolveConfigPath (snapshot-aware) becomes the single path
resolver for both bins.
Each bin.ts is now a thin self-executing composition plus its
app-specific lifecycle (acp: replay env-skip + stdin-EOF dispose;
stdio: nothing extra), exports nothing, and stays coverage-excluded;
the built-bin smokes still prove both artifacts under plain node in the
node_modules-shaped temp dir (now symlinking ui/app-boot), including
the missing-config non-zero exit.
Implements docs/rfc/implemented/simplification/2026-07-04-share-app-bin-boot-glue.md
(moved from proposed/ and amended); the extract-example-app-packages
RFC's bin-ownership facts are amended in the same change.
The stdio app's module doc and its unit suite's doc carried the claim
the review already corrected elsewhere: an inject-less app boots past a
collapsed export shape, so the smoke proves the tree runs while the
unwrapExports assertion in the unit suite pins the shape.
vitest.config.ts coverage comments (excessive-tests welcome -> docs/testing.md;
v8-ignore reason rule -> the quality-gates RFC) and the acp bridge.spec
resource-ownership comment -> docs/testing.md. Postmortem 0001's summary now
names packages/AGENTS.md as the export-shape rule's home. Repo-wide sweep from
the root (all file types, vendor/lib excluded) shows every remaining AGENTS.md
citation resolves to a rule that exists where cited.
The packages/README.md group table still described support/ as holding
the stdio UI; and three prose sites credited the keyless smokes with
guarding the app export shape, which a bundle without inject cannot do
(a stray default boots rather than crashes) — the shape is pinned by
the stdio-agent unit suite's explicit unwrapExports assertion; the
smokes prove the composed tree boots.
The definitive sweep (audit every AGENTS.md mention in packages/, docs/,
examples/, scripts/) found thirteen more citations of relocated policy
and two citations of rules that never existed as quoted:
- with-key policy comments (web deepseek/perplexity e2e headers) ->
docs/testing.md; real-impl-over-mock comments (acp harness, load,
stream-update specs) -> docs/testing.md; defensive-pattern quotes
(acp index.ts x3, stream-update) -> docs/defensive-patterns.md.
- md-tier repoints: real-api-e2e RFC, tool-schema-catalog RFC,
postmortem 0001 guardrail row, adding-a-package cookbook,
drop-bash-output-spill-files RFC, acp-subagent-backend RFC phrasing.
- Two false attributions dropped in favor of self-contained reasoning:
tool-todo's 'don't validate scenarios that can't happen' and the
bash-stdin-env RFC's 'Don't add features beyond what the task
requires' (neither rule ever existed under those names).
- Citations of the two 'not golden truth' doctrines stay: those bullets
survive verbatim in the root conventions.
Note: packages/support/ui-stdio readline TTY spec flakes under full
coverage on a heavily loaded box (passes standalone and passed the
same tree's coverage run minutes earlier); untouched by this stack.
WebService exposed an observation surface nothing in production observes:
the web/providers-change event (declared, emitted on every provider
registration/disposal, rollback-yield ordered before the emit solely so a
throwing change listener unwinds the registration) and the aggregated
searchStatus()/fetchStatus() query with its WebCapabilityStatus union.
dsh-tool-web executes through ctx.web.search()/fetch() and routes on the
structured WebError codes selection throws at execution time; tool
registration follows product enablement, not provider availability. The
only listeners/callers were the web packages' own tests, and the
tool-web README / architecture.md prose claiming the tool 'reads only the
aggregated searchStatus()/fetchStatus()' had drifted from the call sites.
Remove the event declaration, both emits, and the rollback-before-emit
machinery (the plain ctx.effect disposer keeps HMR cleanup, matching
LlmService.registerAdapter). Remove searchStatus()/fetchStatus(),
resolveStatus(), and WebCapabilityStatus; the provider-private status()
stays as the execution-time selection input. Delete the listener-throw
rollback test, and rewrite every event/status assertion across the web
packages' tests onto caller-observable behavior: a successful
search()/fetch() or the structured WEB_PROVIDER_* codes. Regenerate the
cordis catalog; update the web/tool-web READMEs, the architecture.md web
paragraph, core-data-structures/web.md, and the type-equiv manifest; amend
the web capability seam RFC's facts to the shipped surface. This follows
the llm/adapter-change precedent: a boot-time backend-registry signal and
an availability probe distinct from executing both sit on the cut side of
its keep/cut criterion.

The readline UI lives inside @deepseek-ai/dsh-stdio-agent as the
in-package stdio-chat module; the packages/support/ui-stdio package is
gone. The app's front-door cluster always includes this UI and nothing
else composes it, so the boundary bought manifest/tsconfig/module-graph/
README/publint surface for a helper that is not independently
swappable — and a product app no longer depends on a support package
documented as not-product-surface.
createStdioChat, the StdioRuntime test seam, and both unit suites moved
verbatim (imports rewired to the module path); the named
name/inject/Config/apply export shape stays, being the contract the
app's ctx.plugin mount consumes. Coverage stays per-file 100%; the
built-bin smoke under plain node and both keyless Loader-path smokes
prove the published artifact and the demos end-to-end.
Implements docs/rfc/implemented/simplification/2026-07-04-fold-stdio-ui-helper.md
(moved from proposed/ and amended to the shipped shape).
agent/steering was the last transient mirror of a durable session event:
drainSteering appended the durable steering/message {turn, content, source}
and emitted the identical fact one line later. Zero production listeners
existed — every steering consumer (hook bridges, goldens, deriveMessages)
reads the durable event — and the one regression test subscriber asserted
a fact the log already records.
Remove the declaration (dsh-agent types + JSDoc list + README row), the
emit in drainSteering (its ctx parameter goes too), and the emit line in
the loop-pseudocode blocks (loop.ts module doc, architecture.md); the
cordis catalog is regenerated. The regression test now pins source
preservation on the durable steering/message event. Live-notification
needs keep their surviving homes: agent/queued at enqueue time,
session/event at drain time.
RFC: docs/rfc/implemented/simplification/2026-07-04-remove-agent-steering-mirror.md
(moved from proposed/, amended to shipped reality). The three implemented
RFCs that stated the retention — the boundary-mirror removal, the
stream-chunk removal, and event-domain-semantics — are amended to point
at that RFC as the record of the removal, per implemented/AGENTS.md.
The rejected retire-mid-turn-steering RFC keeps its frozen text (it
records the declined proposal); the steering capability itself —
steer(), the durable event, continuation forcing — is untouched.
- Restore the universal JSDoc rule the rewrite dropped (module doc
comment + semantic JSDoc on every export), in root AGENTS.md § Type
safety and documentation — the generated-catalog RFC cites it as the
rule the generator enforces at the source.
- Repoint the six remaining citations of moved content that the
section-name grep missed (rule-title quotes and prose references):
agent-loop agent.ts, acp index.ts, acp turns.spec.ts, the Exa e2e
header, the real-api-e2e RFC, the doc-sync-enforcement RFC amendment,
and rfc/implemented/AGENTS.md's section-name casing.
- Fix two docs/testing.md overstatements: the unit tier also runs
examples/*/tests specs, and keyless-by-nature examples have no
with-key smoke.
- Displacement trims keep root AGENTS.md at 1,498/1,500.
Applies the documentation standard to its biggest offender. Every rule
survives as one to three lines plus a link to its durable home; the
stories, duplicate statements, and re-narrations go:
- Situational clusters evict to new homes: docs/testing.md (tiers,
with-key policy, real-over-mock, world-verification, real-entry-path
guards), docs/defensive-patterns.md (the bug-class rules), and
docs/cookbook/responding-to-pr-review-on-a-stack.md (the stacked-PR
review procedure).
- Doc-authoring rules consolidate into docs/AGENTS.md § Writing rules
(current-state-never-history, md-wrap, ts-block compilation, @mode,
catalog same-change, pair same-change).
- packages/README.md drops to the group table + the extension-vs-bundle
dependency rule; the hand ASCII graph yields to the generated
module-graph.md; group READMEs are the canonical per-package map.
- packages/AGENTS.md keeps only its packages-specific rules (export
shape, ctx.get, real-Loader coverage); examples/AGENTS.md repoints
its with-key-policy link; rfc/README.md loses a narrated-history
aside; dsh-code-review / dsh-find-simplifications / verify-md-wrap
references follow the moved content.
- Budget manifest ratchets: AGENTS.md 8200 -> 1500 (now 1,495 words),
packages/README.md 1900 -> 600, packages/AGENTS.md 600 -> 450; the
two new eviction docs join the budget set (testing 800, defensive
550); docs/AGENTS.md raises 1000 -> 1250 for the absorbed writing
rules (the one justified increase). The doc-tiers RFC's deferred list
prunes the two items this change ships.
Codex review of the vocabulary relocation found two doc-accuracy issues:
- presentation.ts's JSDoc used {@link ToolDefinition...}, which the
TypeScript language service cannot resolve because presentation.ts
deliberately does not import index.ts (that would create the cycle the
split avoids). Demote those three to plain `ToolDefinition` code text;
same-file and imported @links (TerminalResultView, ContentBlock) stay.
- docs/core-data-structures/tools.md's source header listed only index.ts
and schema.ts; add presentation.ts, which now owns the presentation
vocabulary the page documents.
The tool render-intent vocabulary (ToolCallView/ToolResultView + members,
FileLocation, FileDiff, ToolCallKind) is the UI-facing surface of
dsh-tools; it lived inline in index.ts alongside the registry and
execution core. Move it to its own presentation.ts module so index.ts is
the registry + execute waterfall and the presentation vocabulary is a
separate, one-directional dependency.
presentation.ts owns ONLY render-intent types and references none of the
execution types; index.ts imports the view types for ToolDefinition's
presentCall/presentResult signatures (clean acyclic index -> presentation).
The opaque `meta` presentation channel (ToolExecuteReturn, ToolResult,
ToolExecutionResult) is execution plumbing and stays in index.ts.
Public surface unchanged: index.ts re-exports the vocabulary, so consumers
(tool-fs/tool-bash/tool-web/tool-todo, the ACP bridge) keep importing from
@deepseek-ai/dsh-tools with zero churn. No producer/bridge/test edits; a
pure internal relocation with no observable-output change (snapshot goldens
untouched).
The result-time diff card sent view.title raw, so a completed edit/write
of an absolute in-workspace path flipped the card header back from the
relativized `Edit src/b.ts` to the absolute path — the pending card
relativizes, the result did not, and tool_call_update.title replaces the
header. Apply displayTitle to the result diff arm using the diff path,
mirroring the call-side card. Regression test proven red on the unfixed
arm.
Also record the overwrite diff-basis pre-read as a bounded follow-up
(TODO(overwrite-diff-bound) + RFC non-goal): overwriting a large file
reads the whole prior text into memory for a UI-only diff.
master's web_search/web_fetch tools were authored against the old
ToolCallPresentation bag; the render-intent union replaces it with a
card-tagged discriminated union. Both are simple generic cards, so they
declare card:'generic' explicitly.
