workspace.archiveSession answers the full updated archive set;
workspace.list carries the set as the reconnect baseline; the host
stream pushes host/archived-sessions-changed full snapshots from the
domain/changed global-put branch (same posture as workspace-changed).
Unknown sessions map to the existing session-not-found code.
The mutate seam's root-path ops, its non-array rejection, and the recursion
into an existing nested object were unexercised, as was the whole containment
side of the settings/document-updated fan-out and the before-snapshot repair
of a section a hand edit left non-object. The settings.mutate route had no
round trip at all: neither the client method nor the handler entry ran.
The remaining P1 from the #939 review, plus the P2 it shares a mechanism with.
Nothing carried a version, so two tabs editing one namespace silently
overwrote each other — reproduced as tab B's `reasoning` lost to tab A's
older draft. The seam's per-namespace write queue orders writes; it cannot
tell a fresh writer from one replaying a snapshot a predecessor superseded.
Each namespace now carries a monotonic `revision` over its RAW section. A
write may send `expectedRevision`, checked at the FRONT of the queue (not at
call time, which would race the very predecessor it guards against); a
mismatch rejects with `SettingsConflictError` → `settings-conflict` on the
wire, carrying both revisions. The editor captures the revision it opened at
and, on conflict, asks the user to reopen rather than replaying its snapshot.
The same counter fixes the missing broadcast. `settings/updated` is gated on
the resolved value — correct for consumers, wrong for configuration surfaces:
storing an override equal to the composition base leaves the resolved value
alone while changing what the document says (the field is now overridden, not
inherited) and moving every open editor's revision. `settings/document-updated
(ns, revision)` fires on any raw-section change, in-process or external, and
`host/settings-changed` now rides it.
That event also closes the stale model picker: editing a provider's `models`
changes no route, so `llm/adapters-updated` never fired and an open picker
kept serving the old catalog. A change to an exposed provider namespace now
emits `host/models-changed` too — that namespace holds the catalog.
Docs: both sides of the five touched README pairs, a type-equiv block for
`SettingsPathOp`, and an Agent Note recording what the plane exposes and who
may overwrite what. The deferred wire-redaction gaps (secrets behind
union/intersection/transform, `.default(...)` in the served envelope, schema
text in rejection messages, `new Function` rehydration, pi-ai's `headers`) are
recorded as TODO(settings-wire-redaction) and in Known Limitations rather than
half-fixed.
A question may now carry `intent`, a tagged declaration that it IS a decision
of a known shape, so a UI that recognises the tag can present it as such
instead of as a generic option list. The one member is
`{ kind: 'plan-review', approve }`, which plan-mode sets on the exit_plan_mode
review.
An intent shapes presentation only: a UI honouring it answers with the same
option labels a generic UI would send, so the tool reads one answer shape
either way, and a UI that does not know the tag renders the generic flow.
`approve` names the affirmative option rather than relying on option order;
since no type can tie that label to the question's own option list, `ask()`
rejects a mismatch as BAD_INTENT, and the wire schema rejects an unknown tag
outright rather than silently rendering generic.
plan-mode also stops reporting a dismissed review as "the user cancelled
ask_user_question" — a tool it never called. A dismissal now tells the model
the user took the turn back to speak, and to stay in plan mode and wait; every
other ask failure keeps its own message.
Five findings from the #939 review, each reproduced before being fixed.
**Configuration reads are as privileged as writes.** `settings.describe`
returns every exposed namespace's configuration and `credentials.describe`
reports whether an arbitrary environment-variable name is configured and from
where — reconnaissance no anonymous caller should have. Both join
PRIVILEGED_METHODS, so the whole configuration plane is loopback-only until
real authentication exists; `trustedHosts` was never authentication. The model
catalog stays reachable: it carries no endpoints or key state, and a LAN
client's model picker legitimately needs it. Asserted over a real HTTP server,
because the Host header a browser actually sends is what decides this.
**The proxy serves only namespaces a registered model provider addresses.**
The settings seam is general — any plugin may register one — but the Web
configuration plane is the model-provider surface. Without the gate, every
future `settings.register()` would silently become remotely readable and
writable configuration. An unregistered namespace and an unexposed one answer
identically, so no caller can enumerate the registry one probe at a time.
**Path-addressed writes replace the redacted-document rebuild.** The editor
reads the REDACTED descriptor, so rebuilding a section from it and replacing
wholesale deleted every literal secret the wire never returned — reproduced as
`{baseURL, reasoning}` in, stored `apiKey` gone out. `settings.mutate` applies
set/unset ops to the section as it stands at the front of the seam's write
queue, and the client names only fields it can see, so an unseen secret is
untouched by construction rather than by care.
P2s in the same pass: `llm/adapters-updated` now contains async listener
rejections (an uncontained one escaped as unhandledRejection, contradicting
the documented "observer failures are contained"); llm-deepseek's retry-policy
swap uses the atomic `registration.replace` instead of dispose-then-register,
which published `[]` then `["deepseek-official"]` so an observer saw the
provider disappear and come back; and a transport rejection no longer strands
the page in `loading` or a card in `busy`, with removal failures surfaced on
the page banner instead of swallowed.
- `SessionSummary.updatedAt`'s wire doc still said "Persisted file mtime",
which stopped being true for attached sessions.
- The core invariant let `session/inherited` fall through the merge-extensible
default. It is core-owned, so it gets an explicit case; an unbalanced seed
legally places it inside an open turn, which the relation permits.
- The Agent Note claimed the boundary reaches disk via `live.pending`/
`scheduleDrain`. Verified false: the constructor append precedes `enter()`,
so it never publishes on `session/event` and rides the creation seed instead.
Attaching is therefore a write where none happened before — recorded, since
only `load()` stays a pure read.
- The deferred-index proposal asserted this change documented the cold-mtime
skew on `dsh-host-apiproxy`. It did not; the README entry now exists.
- `firstLiveSeq`'s firehose gap runs through its own seq, not below it.
- The boundary is not always at `firstLiveSeq` (the idempotence guard), so
consumers scan for the last one.
- `lastActivityTime` excludes by type, so a pickup time still leaks onto a
synthetic closer when a boundary ends an open turn. Documented.
- Pin the fork claim end-to-end: a child inherits a still-running parent's
open bracket below its own boundary, while the parent has none. Fails if the
write moves back to the load path.
- Fix the telemetry title that contradicted its own assertions.
The `/status` call site cannot be pinned the way the other two are: the
command appends its own `command/run` before rendering, so the boundary is
never the log tail there. Its fixture now at least renders over a
boundary-bearing log.
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.
Conflict resolutions:
- `session.list`: master's projection columns fold into the PR's cancellable,
batched `listVisibleSessionSummaries`, which `session.search` shares as its
visibility baseline; master's goal helpers stay beside it.
- Client sessions face: master narrowed `ctx.sessions` to `ISessions`, so the
search verb and its protocol-constant bound are declared there and the
test-runtime double implements them (recorded, empty page unless a scenario
stubs hits).
- `WorkspaceBrowser`: master's per-row Rename wiring rides the PR's search
results view; the tree keeps the PR's query-free derivations.
- `dsh web` bin: the PR's shutdown-handlers-before-readiness order with
master's boot-time LAN address snapshot.
- `session-query-sqlite`: master's `SCHEMA_VERSION` 7 stands; the PR's bump
carried no schema change.
- Specs: master wraps assistant/steering message payloads and requires an
`application/json` carrier request, so the search fixtures and tests follow.
- Web aria goldens keep master's recording plus the PR's search placeholder;
the navigation-panes inventory keeps master's terminal-card golden next to
the PR's search-results golden.
Conflicts, all in files this branch and master both touched:
- `chat/helpers.ts` — kept both sides. Master replaced the inline env
filter in `gitBranch` with `scrubbedParentEnv()`; this branch added the
surface-marker and compaction-source imports.
- `docs/module-graph.md` — regenerated. Both sides added a `tui` edge
(master `subprocess`, this branch `compact`); the generated row now
carries both.
- Three `.i18n.yaml` pairing records — re-recorded from the merged files.
Blob hashes cannot be hand-merged, and both sides' prose survives on
each side of every pair.
`docs/cordis-catalog/services.md` also regenerated for shifted source
lines and master's new `sessionTitle.rename` entry.
Eight compiler-locked methods: settings.describe/update/replace serve
redacted layered namespace views (secrets structurally absent from every
layer, write-only in the update direction) and fold seam refusals into
settings-rejected; credentials.describe/set/unset expose value-free views
with credential-rejected on shadowed writes; llm.providers merges the
configurable directory with live routes and llm.models claims the
host-scoped catalog reservation through the buildModelCatalog extraction
session.models now shares. Three HostFrame invalidations bridge the seam
events (host/settings-changed, host/credentials-changed,
host/models-changed), and the connection route generalizes the native-
dialog check into a privileged-method set covering all four writes. The
fixture and both fake clients grow the same face.
