Delete kill(signal?) from SubprocessHandle: consumers stop a process only
through terminate()'s tree-scoped SIGTERM→graceMs→SIGKILL escalation
(idempotent, also driven by the spec's abort signal, a no-op once the tree
is gone). The single-signal verb had exactly one consumer family —
lsp-local — and what it bought there was a private re-implementation of
the same escalation. The internal kill closure stays in spawn.ts as the
dispose ladder's tier primitive; terminate() now routes through it too.
lsp-local collapses onto the seam's escalation:
- LspConnection replaces its terminate()/kill() pair with one terminate()
that delegates to handle.terminate(). Behavior change: the
framing-failure path terminates instead of instant SIGKILL, so a
misbehaving server now gets SIGTERM plus the killGraceMs window to
flush before SIGKILL.
- ConnectionSpec.pipeDrainGraceMs becomes killGraceMs: one grace, the
spawn spec's graceMs, drives both the escalation window and post-exit
pipe draining (the provider already passed killGraceMs for it).
- LspInstance.forceTerminate() drops its hand-rolled bounded first wait
(LSP_KILL_GRACE) and escalateProcessTree (deleted with its export and
unit test): the seam's escalation already commits to SIGKILL after
killGraceMs, so only the unbounded quiescence awaits stay load-bearing.
Tests: kill()-shaped spawn specs become terminate()-shaped or fold into
the terminate() suites (group-wide delivery; the settled no-op case was
already pinned by 'terminate() after the tree died'); tree-survivor
coverage is intact. A stderr-'inherit' disposition test completes the
stdout/stderr symmetry so the scoped subprocess+lsp coverage gate stands
alone instead of leaning on subagent-acp's cross-package runs.
Docs: SubprocessHandle type-equiv block, seam/impl/group READMEs, and the
consumer-migration Agent Note lose the kill(signal?) vocabulary (zh pairs
re-recorded); cordis api/services catalogs regenerated.
Drop SubprocessSpawnSpec.dshEnv and splitEnvChannels(); childEnv() is now
scrubbed-base + explicit entries with no namespace validation. The invariant
dropped is the reserved-namespace check on explicit entries (DSH_* rejected
from env, non-DSH_* rejected from dshEnv). Explicit-entry trust already
covers it: an explicit credential-shaped entry has always merged after the
scrub as a deliberate caller opt-in, and an explicit DSH_* entry is the same
deliberate act — the staleness invariant lives entirely in scrubbedParentEnv
dropping AMBIENT credential-shaped and DSH_* names, which stays. The
validation's only observed effect was rejecting legitimate explicit entries:
both recent CI breakages (DSH_GATE_CONCURRENCY exported into every job
crashing lsp specs, DSH_PERMISSION_MODE in acp config.env crashing the
child spawn) were this check firing on values a caller meant to pass, each
fixed by routing around the bureaucracy the seam itself imposed.
The bash seam keeps its own request/spec dshEnv field: that is bash-owned
trusted-plugin vocabulary (the ctx.bashEnv collected overlay) whose merge-last
position guarantees a caller env entry cannot displace a managed fact;
bash-local now flattens ENV_OVERRIDES -> spec.env -> spec.dshEnv into the
seam's one env map. subagent-acp and lsp-local pass their single config env
map straight through. DshEnvironment/DshEnvironmentKey/DSH_ENV_PREFIX stay on
the subprocess seam as the namespace vocabulary (bash re-exports them;
scrubbedParentEnv filters on the prefix).
Tests: the two channel-rejection specs and the splitEnvChannels partition
spec are deleted; one spawn spec now proves an explicit DSH_* env entry
reaches the child while an ambient one is scrubbed; the acp/lsp forwarding
specs keep their MOCK_ECHO_ENV / LSP_FAKE_ECHO_ENV assertions with the split
comments rewritten to merge-after-scrub. Docs (en+zh, re-recorded) and the
owning Agent Notes updated; cordis api/services catalogs regenerated.
SubprocessHandle loses dispose(graces) and SubprocessDisposeGraces: the
stdin-EOF→SIGTERM→SIGKILL sequence is teardown POLICY encoding one
consumer's cooperation shape, not process vocabulary — the seam keeps
kill/terminate/waitForExit, and waitForExit(signal?) is the quiescence
probe a consumer ladder needs. dsh-subagent-acp owns disposeAcpChild()
over those public verbs (tier tests move into its suite; a never-exits
stub pins the fail-loud path); dsh-subprocess-local sheds the ladder,
its deadline import, and the dsh-timeout dependency. Every future
backend now owes four verbs and no teardown policy. New bilingual
ladder-ownership Agent Note records the decision; catalogs regenerated.
Current-state fixes: two test comments still named the pre-rename
spawnProcess; two narrated history ('the old whole-chunk drop', 'no
longer kills backend work') instead of the pinned contract; and the
packages/README row said process-group where the seam's own vocabulary
is process-tree (en+zh, pair re-recorded).
Codex review of the acp-only fix found lsp-local carries the identical
defect: its server config's unrestricted env merges into the connection's
ordinary spawn channel, so a configured DSH_* fact crashed the spawn with
the reserved-namespace rejection. The partition now lives on the seam as
splitEnvChannels() beside the scrub it complements; the ACP run and the
LSP connection both use it, and each proves child delivery end-to-end
(MOCK_ECHO_ENV / LSP_FAKE_ECHO_ENV fixture knobs). Seam + consumer README
rows updated (en+zh, re-recorded). bash-local is already two-channel;
mcp/pty/sdk bypass the seam and only share the scrub.
The acp run passed config.env wholesale into the spawn spec's ordinary
channel, which rejects the reserved DSH_* namespace — a deployment fact
like DSH_PERMISSION_MODE (the acp-agent example's own knob, used by the
with-key e2e) crashed the spawn. The run now splits DSH_* entries onto
dshEnv, where the scrubbed base expects current facts to arrive. New
layering test drives the split through the real seam via a MOCK_ECHO_ENV
knob on the mock server; README env prose updated (en+zh, re-recorded).
CI now exports DSH_GATE_CONCURRENCY into every job, and the lsp suites
spread the raw parent env into the spawn spec's ordinary channel — which
the seam rightly rejects for DSH_* names. The specs now build their child
env the way production does (scrubbedParentEnv() + explicit extras).
The acp with-key e2e never mounted dsh-subprocess-local, leaving the
provider's inject unsatisfied, so no 'acp' provider ever registered.
Every PR that changes product-user-visible GUI behavior now includes a
demonstration GIF with real provenance (that branch's built tree, real
key, real model rounds). Recording stays side-effect-free; the skill
gains a bounded final publication step: GIFs go on an append-only
orphan assets branch (one per PR series) and embed via the blob URL
with ?raw=true, never on the PR branch itself.
Folds in the operational lessons from the Code Mode UI series:
.playwright-mcp/ screenshot roots (now gitignored), per-PR staging and
precise server teardown, one-call DOM polling for transient states,
exact-text completion predicates, prompt engineering for UI states,
and the export-before-invoke GIF_SKILL_DIR encoder pitfall.
Agent Note: implemented/process/2026-07-26-gui-pr-gif-evidence-and-assets-branch (+ zh pair); the 2026-07-23 recording note now defers publication policy to it.
The parent branch's zh translations were recorded against its pre-reshape
en text; this PR's Node-ward en deltas get minimal zh updates across the
subprocess catalog and the subprocess/lsp-local/subagent READMEs (all
type-equiv blocks byte-identical), with pairing records re-recorded.
Responding to review on #661: a public method on the generic ToolRegistry
service whose only caller is the run_code bridge was ad-hoc surface
widening. The bridge now receives it as a registry-private capability
closure in RunCodeBridgeOptions (the requireRuntime idiom, alongside the
cap), the method is private, and it leaves the generated service
catalog/API surfaces.
The pattern is now named as a code smell where reviewers look: the
packages/AGENTS.md capability-interface rule gains the inverse-smell
clause (ceiling 660→675 — the list is at capacity and the clause needs
one sentence), and dsh-code-review's capability-fit check tells reviewers
to flag single-consumer public service methods and require the closure
form.
Validate replay sidecars and cross-copy failure facts, make browser console tripwires and macOS temp paths deterministic, and wait for asynchronous TUI resume details. Keep the owning docs, translations, and generated catalog aligned.
Master made bilingual pairing mandatory repo-wide; the subprocess family
docs get their zh counterparts: new pairs for the core-data subprocess
catalog and the three subprocess READMEs (switcher lines added on the en
side), and minimal zh updates for the packages/bash/bash-local README
deltas this PR made, with pairing records recorded.
A stale-lib eslint --fix pass during the merge stripped the 'as never'
casts the branded WorkspaceId/SessionId parameters require; typecheck
rejects the push. Take master's version verbatim.
