Three things the page got wrong.
The web-search provider's defaults lived only at their use site, so the
served section carried no value for them and the card fell back to a zero it
invented — a number the schema itself rejects. Declaring them on the schema
makes the settings service the one authority: `maxUses` now reads 5 because
that is what the Host resolves, not because the page guessed. `baseURL` keeps
its code-side default, which exists so `$DEEPSEEK_SEARCH_BASE_URL` can win.
A field the Host serves no value for now renders empty rather than as zero.
The cards were rows in a settings page of cards: name and description ran
together on one line because the shared disclosure row lays them side by side.
Each card now draws its own header, stacking the two, and the section follows
the idiom the Agent Preset page established.
The provider now takes a thunk rather than a value: it projects the
authoritative section per search, so a stored endpoint, model, or key
reference reaches the next call without re-registering the provider — which
would make the seam's provider selection observable as a flicker.
apiKey already carries role('secret'), so the section is safe to describe:
the literal never rides a response in any layer and a configuration surface
learns only that a key is set.
Delete design-session citations (decision/audit/plan ordinals, stack
positions), change narration, review choreography, and reviewer-addressed
justification from comments, JSDoc, docs, READMEs, Agent Notes, tests, and
generator templates; restate every affected fact as current-state contract
prose. Fix generated docs at their sources and regenerate the catalogs and
cordis-surface regions; re-paste type-equiv blocks; update every bilingual
counterpart and re-record the pairs. Record the citation rule in the
committed-artifact-citations Agent Note.
core.md read as a type grab-bag: LLM wire vocabulary up front, the agent/loop story buried, and no correspondence to packages/core. It now opens on the packages/core control spine — the package-by-package loop map with a Page column into session/system-prompt/tools/scope — and keeps only what the spine group declares plus the repo-wide patterns: the Agent handle with its delivery/cancellation/interception contracts, the SessionEvent envelope, branded ids, the …Map pattern. The conversation vocabulary (Message/ContentBlock, the model request, adapters — 17 type-equiv blocks) moves to llm-streaming.md, which now declares packages/llm end-to-end; the duplicate ContentBlockMap paste near its seam section folds into the moved section, and the manifest, LINK_MAP, README table rows, website label (Core data structures → Core), and inbound anchors follow.
Every packages/<group>/README pair is now a thin front door in one shape: a why-first intro (bash's seam-pattern-first paragraph rewritten as 'shell execution for the agent'), the package table, and a closing pointer to the owning docs/subsystems page — the bash-style table stays the load-bearing middle. Load-bearing trailing paragraphs relocate rather than vanish: the fs no-timeout rationale becomes a filesystem.md section (both languages), session's four sectioned tables merge into one 12-row table, examples' legacy-bin H2 collapses to a pointer at jsonrpc-demo's README, and design rationale that already lives in an Agent Note or subsystem page is now linked instead of restated. All 40 pair records re-recorded.
git mv timeout-policy beside repeat-tool-guard (both are loop-hygiene
policies on the tool-execution pipeline, and the timeout/ group name
collided with util/timeout) and tool-cordis into self-modification/
(naming the role the framework name obscured). Merged/renamed group
README triplets, tsconfig globs, generator sources, hierarchy tables,
catalogs, and the timeout-policy design note's group references
follow. Adds the fifth FIXME marker (dsh-timeout-guard, recorded as a
suggestion to settle at resolution time).
guard + self-modification suites: 197 passed.
The e2e store and the web-search store still named a `.env` path; the
e2e one also wrote dotenv syntax, which the YAML document rejects. That
path now names the ordinary environment layer, so a test pointing the
credential store at it asserts the distinction this PR removes.
Review found five real defects in the configuration-source work, all confirmed
against the code rather than argued:
1. The note claimed --config outranks settings.yaml. It does not: the settings
seam registers a plugin's cordis entry config as the `base` layer and the
user section layers over it, and the seam cannot tell a shipped value from a
--config one. The note now states shipped reality and names --config-replace
as the lever for a deployment that must win. Separately, a literal `apiKey`
in settings outranked both the environment and .credentials.yaml — the field
is removed, so configuration carries a reference and nothing else.
2. DEEPSEEK_SEARCH_BASE_URL was functionally deleted: the shipped inline went
away without the provider learning to read it. It now resolves from the
environment snapshot, as the README always claimed.
3. The bootstrap deny list missed the interpreter start-up hooks. BASH_ENV is
the sharpest: `bash -c` sources it on every bash tool call, so a project
.env could run a file of its choosing before every command. The list now
covers BASH_ENV and its per-language siblings, the Git hook commands, and
the remaining preload and CA variables, organised by what a variable does
rather than which runtime owns it.
4. YAML parse errors quoted the offending source line — which in a credentials
document is the secret — into boot stderr and the watcher's logger. Only the
error code and position are reported now, in credentials-local and
settings-local alike, pinned by a test that asserts the secret is absent.
5. 0600 governed only files the harness wrote. A hand-created 0644 document was
read normally. POSIX now checks the mode before reading contents, at boot
and on every reload; Windows has no mode to inspect and is skipped rather
than faked.
The project a session is launched in is trusted by default, with no prompt and
no stored trust record: it may supply its own endpoint, ordinary variables, and
a key ranked below the managed store. Trust stops at the harness itself — a
discovered file still cannot set DSH_PERMISSION_MODE, PATH, BASH_ENV, or the
rest, because those take effect with no user action, before any turn, outside
the permission policy and the sandbox.
$DSH_HOME/.env had just become an ordinary environment layer, which left the
harness resolving user-facing values from a flattened process.env that could
no longer say where a value came from. A key stored through the web page
stayed shadowed by an older key in the user's own .env. An endpoint could be
redirected by the project: the invoking directory's .env is materialized like
every other layer, and a base URL decides where a resolved API key is sent, so
a DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL written into a model-editable workspace would send the
user's credential — and the prompts carrying their code — to whatever host
that file named.
Give every user-facing value one ordering, with four kinds of source:
explicit for this run per-operation override, CLI argument
> authored by deployment --config / --config-replace
> this launch's shell inherited process environment
> product-managed store settings.yaml, .credentials.yaml
> discovered file $DSH_HOME/.env
> defaults schema default, shipped base, public default
The domains differ only in which tiers exist. The earlier split — credentials
ranking the environment over the managed file while settings ranked over the
environment — was inconsistent: the distinguishing fact is who authored the
source, not the domain.
packages/util/environment owns an immutable snapshot with per-layer
provenance. getFrom(name, sources) searches only the layers a caller names,
and omitting one is a refusal rather than a demotion: the adapters ask for
['process', 'user-env'], so no reordering can let a project file back into a
decision it was excluded from.
isBootstrapOnly rejects, before anything is materialized, any .env setting a
variable that governs how a process launches (PATH, SHELL, NODE_OPTIONS,
LD_PRELOAD), where code or model-visible instructions load from (the whole
DSH_* namespace, HOME, XDG_*), or how the network is reached (proxy and CA
variables). The namespace is denied wholesale so a switch added later cannot
become settable by being forgotten, and there is no opt-out.
verify-config-source-ownership keeps both rules: no unregistered process.env
read under packages/*/*/src (26 allowlisted with reasons), and no apiKey,
baseURL, or headers inlined from the environment in shipped Cordis config —
removing those inlines is what makes the deployment tier meaningful.
The web_search execute result and searchMetaFromValue each spread the
same {url, title?, snippet?, publishedAt?} projection over a seam source,
which the duplication gate flags as a clone. Extract projectSource, typed
on the seam's WebSearchSource, so both sites carry a byte-identical shape
from one definition.
renderFetchOutput has no external consumer: only formatFetchOutput and
fetchMetaFromValue call it, both through the registry, which deep-freezes
the result value. Exporting it let a hypothetical caller mutate a cached
input or the returned RenderedFetch and desync the card's truncated flag
from the model text. Drop it from the barrel and document that the memo
needs no defensive copy because every caller is internal and read-only.
Route a `web` result card's raw-content fallback through the TUI's dim
Markdown path (render() only recognized `card: 'generic'` as markdown
content, so web fallback rendered as bare undimmed text).
Memoize renderFetchOutput per (result, maxOutputChars) so the registry's
twin output.render / output.presentationMeta calls on the same frozen
result run one HTML->markdown conversion instead of two.
Remove the trailing `</content>`/`</invoke>` protocol residue from both
sides of the web-result-card Agent Note and re-record the pairing.
Address the code-review bot findings on the web result card:
- web_fetch's card truncated now derives from the shared renderFetchOutput
helper, matching the effective truncation the model-facing text reflects
(provider cap, source cut, or output cap), instead of the provider-only flag.
- Drop the redundant content copy from both web result views; a UI without the
web capability falls back to the raw tool/result content. Narrow the TUI
transcript view.content access accordingly.
- Set the result-state title from the call args (query/url) so a window-
truncated replay keeps a title.
- Project meta from the seam result types rather than hand-rolled value types.
- Sync the card vocabulary across core tools README, docs/core-data-structures,
the adding-a-tool cookbook, and the tool-web package README (both languages,
re-recorded pairings); regenerate the cordis api-catalog and cordis-inspect
snapshot; revise the Agent Note.
web_search and web_fetch returned only model-facing text, whose markdown source
list is lossy (title-or-hostname label, snippet and date concatenated), so a
client could not recover the structured sources. Add a card:'web' result view
with a kind discriminant ('search' carrying structured sources + answer +
truncated, 'fetch' carrying url + statusCode + truncated), projected through
each tool's output.presentationMeta and read back in presentResult. A UI
without the web card falls back to content; the TUI is unchanged. The web
consumer is a follow-up.
The native adapter's route was named deepseek, colliding with pi-ai's
catalog provider of the same name, so the two DeepSeek paths could never
be mounted side by side. The web settings page needs both configurable at
once. Compositions, fixtures, goldens, scaffolding defaults, and docs all
move together (pre-release, no shim); TUI/session-query-spill/
missing-credential goldens re-recorded through their keyless refresh
modes because provider-name length shifts box padding and spill
truncation points.
Two review findings on the turndown swap, both verified empirically:
- Unclosed-tag nesting makes the synchronous turndown/domino walk
superlinear (measured: depth 512 ~0.15s, 2k ~2s, 20k ~5s), during
which the cooperative fetchTimeoutMs timer cannot fire. renderBody
now preflights nesting depth with a linear tag scan and passes
bodies past 512 levels through raw; the try/catch stays for markup
the scan cannot see (comment-hidden tags), simulated in tests via a
converter throw.
- Markdown escaping can expand converted HTML ~2x (100k underscores
render as 200k chars), so provider body caps no longer bounded the
model-visible result. formatFetchOutput now caps the complete output
(header + body + footer) under new fetchMaxOutputChars config
(default 200000 = 2x the local provider's default body cap), reusing
the truncation notice.
README EN+ZH, config catalog, Agent Note EN+ZH updated; the new
web-fetch fixture is migrated to the packed layout master now
requires; tool-web coverage stays 100% per-file.
Implements the turndown Agent Note from the NIH dependency audit (full
variant, not the minimal entities-only fallback): dsh-tool-web's fetch
rendering now converts HTML through turndown + @joplin/turndown-plugin-gfm
(atx headings, fenced code, dash bullets, GFM tables/strikethrough) over
the real domino DOM, with script/style/noscript removed wholesale. The
hand-rolled ~86-line regex converter html.ts and its entity tables are
deleted; renderBody wraps the conversion in try/catch falling back to
the raw HTML body, because turndown's recursive DOM walk overflows with
a RangeError on pathological nesting (measured: 4k levels on the main
thread, 8k in a worker) where the regex version could never throw.
Closure weight, measured: tool-web IS in the single-exe runtime closure,
and the exe asset globs would pack ~7.9 MB of the three new packages —
but ~6 MB of that is domino's test corpus, with runtime lib/ at ~550 KB
against a ~174 MB artifact (<0.5% either way), so the swap wins.
Per testing policy the previously-missing keyless web_fetch snapshot
ships in the same change: the acp-agent `web-fetch` scenario boots a new
web.cordis.yml overlay (web seam + real dsh-web-fetch-local provider +
tool-web fetch-only + a loopback HTTP fixture server on a fixed port
serving deterministic HTML with entities, a GFM table, and nesting), so
recording and keyless replay both drive the real HTTP fetch and real
conversion end to end; the scenario pins the new `web` header class.
The Agent Note moves proposed -> implemented and is rewritten per the
lifecycle contract (Decision/Consequences/Testing, closure verdict and
alternatives recorded); tool-web and acp-agent READMEs updated in both
languages and pairs re-recorded.
