A plugin owning a standalone open/close bracket cannot tell a dead marker
from a live one: an unmatched `compact/start` reads identically whether the
previous writer died mid-compaction or a compaction is running now.
`Session.firstLiveSeq` already holds that answer exactly, but only in memory.
Append the log-only `session/inherited` event at that seq from the seeded
constructor — the single waist all six seeded-start paths pass through
(resume, configured startup on a persisted id, `sessions.fork()`, a subagent
fork child, `adopt()`'s live prefix, and a bare seeded `create`). Read it
through the new `isInheritedSeq(events, seq)`.
The constructor placement means persistence needs no changes: the marker is
already in `events` when a backend captures the creation seed, so it rides
the ordinary seed path with no load-time write. It also covers fork, where
the inherited bracket's owner may still be running — the case a
persistence-layer boundary could not reach.
Activity ordering excludes the boundary through `lastActivityTime()`, since
lazy resume makes browsing a pickup and the three call sites would otherwise
float every opened session to the top of a picker or list.
`dsh` shipped two config trees that were 43 rows the same: apps/cli/cordis.yml
composed web as 74 flat rows, while the TUI booted examples/tui-agent/cordis.yml
whose single `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui-demo` row mounted twelve plugins behind a
twenty-key pass-through Config. Neither file was what its location claimed —
apps/cli hardcoded the "example" as the product default and the "demo" bundle
was the application — and every capability change had to be made twice.
- apps/cli/base.cordis.yml holds the 43 shared rows; tui.cordis.yml and
web.cordis.yml are patch lists stating only what differs per surface
- overlays apply as SIBLING patch lists at one include level, because include
patches never cross an include boundary. Precedence: base < surface <
(--config | personal ~/.dsh/config.yaml) < launcher flag/profile patches
- `--config` now applies an overlay INSTEAD OF the personal one, so a demo or
test tree never inherits the user's route; new `--config-replace` boots a file
as the entire tree (the old `--config` behaviour). Both survive /resume
- vendor/include: index each `insert`ed row as it is added so a later patch can
configure or disable it. Upstream built the id index once before the patch
loop, leaving every surface-only row — the whole TUI front door — silently
unpatchable from user config. Logged as local modification 8
- session identity moves to dsh-agent-loop's CONFIGURED_AGENT_IDENTITIES_KEY;
dsh-tui's MAIN_SESSION_ID_KEY is deleted (only the bundle read it)
- delete examples/tui-agent, examples/cordis-agent, packages/examples/tui-demo;
TUI tests → apps/cli/tests, cordis e2e → packages/cordis/tool-cordis/tests,
examples/code-mode survives as an overlay leaf
- `dsh web` gains --config, threaded into AppCLIEntry as an extra overlay
Three latent defects surfaced and are fixed here: the TUI captured the optional
sessionQuery service once at construction and could permanently disable /resume
when it won the mount race; the session-store root silently reverted to a
project-local ./.sessions; --config-replace was dropped by the resume handoff.
Verified by booting each tree through the real Loader (TUI 55 entries, web 75,
zero unsettled) rather than reading YAML. All eight terminal snapshots replay
byte-identically; 14/14 PTY smoke, 112/112 snapshots, 25/25 doc-sync, hygiene
and lint clean.
cancel() emitted agent/cancel-requested whenever queued or steering work
existed, even under keepInbox with no active turn — a call the contract
documents as a no-op. Consumers could misread that notification as a real
cancellation. Emit only when the call actually aborts the active turn or
discards pending work, matching the "effective call" contract.
goal-session rides retry turns and survives admission failures. A
recovery policy closes a goal round's failed turn and reopens its
history under a retry trigger; the attempt now adopts that turn and
drops the failed turn's provisional reason, so the round settles from
the retry's own outcome instead of blocking an armed goal with
turn-error after a successful response. A downstream admission hook
that throws (rather than blocks) used to strand the queued reservation
forever; the listener now clears a still-turnless matching attempt on
the rejection path and reschedules the round.
agent-loop contains a persistently rejecting step close in the catch
path the same way the finally contains the turn close, so the
post-finally tail always publishes the terminal status — previously a
double veto escaped run(), leaving status at running while whenIdle()
resolved. The whenIdle catch arm is annotated as the backstop it now
is: every driver rejection path is contained today.
workspace-context folds an already-appended baseline from the session
log when the plugin is hot-remounted over a live session, instead of
injecting a duplicate from its fresh mount-local guard.
The TUI's reference-admission discard listener installs before
followup(): admission runs synchronously inside it on the common path,
so a listener installed afterwards missed its own cleanup and leaked
one callback per referenced prompt.
agent-loop lifecycle: dispose drains machine.done to true quiescence.
cancel()'s own running-to-idle transition can legitimately re-enter
through an automation listener (goal-session's idle drive runs
synchronously to its first await) and replace done with a fresh
admission after the single capture; teardown now re-cancels and
re-awaits until the slot stabilizes, so the scope never unwinds under a
live run.
tools: a nested concludeTurn() stages on its own execution and promotes
to the enclosing composite only on the call's authoritative successful
verdict. A post-execute policy that converts the nested success into an
error no longer lets a recovering composite stop the turn on a failed
terminal operation (the Code Mode structured-output shape).
goal-session: the driver owns its round durability barrier again. The
loop's persistence is eager write-behind with no turn-end flush, so the
old post-turn agent/error signal for flush failures never fires; a
settled round now sets needsCheckpoint and re-enters drive, flushing
before the next reservation and disarming on failure instead of queueing
an autonomous round on state that was never persisted.
The public classifier existed to defend an exported reader against
arbitrary signals, but its only production caller is the loop reading
its own machine-private turn signal, where cancel() is the sole aborter
and always writes one frozen canonical cause. Delete the export and its
15-line structural validation: settle() states the slot invariant with
one cast, the boolean call sites ask signal.aborted directly, and the
retry veto drops entirely because a requested window already implies a
live signal (cancel() retires the window before aborting).
The abort(reason) channel and first-wins semantics are unchanged; only
the reader's publicness is gone, and with it the paranoia it required.
