- Directory-flow occupancy moves onto the inject face's reserved hooks
compartment: apply publishes a stable observable per surface and the
renderer binds useDirectoryFlow — no hand-rolled component subscriptions
(the client contract's channel for registrant-private reactive facts).
- The native flow's alive guard re-arms in effect setup: StrictMode's
development replay ran the cleanup once and every later outcome was
discarded.
- NativeDirectoryFlow moves to a package-internal module; ./client exports
only the Loader surface, tests import the internal module directly.
- The composition swap comment no longer advertises -browse as a complete
swap before its dialog lands (stacked follow-up).
Union resolutions throughout — the fixture serves both the goal and plan
projection units (catalog gains /goal beside /plan; the retired
goal-fixture sample command yields to the real goal mirror), the mux
baseline spec expects all four unit frames, and the tsconfig paths /
Model Experience allowlist carry both domains' outlets.
New package on the domain data form: one session_projcache record per
session (key → {stateVersion, observedSeq, state}), landing beside
workspace.json under the shipped json backend. Write policy: two mandatory
points (turn/end + session disposal) with count/interval throttling between
them (both Config fields required — flush cadence is a deployment choice);
every background write is fail-soft (log + stay stale, self-heal on the
next write or cold read). coldSnapshot(id) runs the read ladder — cached
rows + persistence readFrom from the registry's anchored restore floor +
registry restore + fail-soft write-back — detecting crash-repair-shrunk
logs via the one-below anchor and degrading to a single full re-read.
Mounted in apps/cli/cordis.yml (writeEveryEvents 200 / writeIntervalMs
5000).
ui-workspace's two trigger surfaces each declare a single-kind directory-flow
hole (conversation.hero.workspace.directoryFlow / sidebar.workspaces.directoryFlow,
same owner contract) and keep only the trigger and the adoption: the Open-local-
folder entry renders while the surface's hole is occupied, and the occupant
reports one picked path per open through the hole's owner conversation
(open/busy/onPicked/onCancel/onError).
directory-picker-native becomes dual-face: its browser half fills both holes
with a renderless occupant driving host.pickDirectory, so the cordis.yml row
that mounts the backend also composes the client interaction — a mismatch is
impossible and a second flow package fails at client load.
With composition wiring both sides, the host.describe.directoryPicker
advertisement and the client's kind branching lose their last consumer:
the field, WorkspacesService.directoryPickerKind(), the DirectoryPickerKind
wire type, and the picker's per-open describe read are deleted. The connection
fixture now serves a deterministic pickDirectory path so the keyless snapshot
drives the full pick-then-adopt flow. ui-workspace's hand-rolled declaration
deferral is replaced by the deferRegistration helper it duplicated.
goal (GoalService + the 'goal' projection unit), goal-session (automatic
continuation), command-goal (/goal — lands in the materialized effective
catalog and the slash menu with zero client changes), and ui-goal (the
GoalBar dock surface). apps/cli deps updated accordingly.
The browse interaction also presents a dialog (the in-app modal), so 'dialog'
failed to discriminate the two capability kinds; 'native' names where the
chooser runs. Package directory-picker-dialog -> directory-picker-native, kind
'dialog' -> 'native', with every seam/gateway/client/doc reference updated and
the seam Agent Note's naming rationale rewritten to match.
Rewrite ui-plan as a pure browser surface plugin. The control occupies the
composer's named plan seat (declared empty by ui-conversation); reads render
the host-computed plan projection through the standard-kit useProjection
(absent key = capability absence, hides the control), writes execute /plan
or /plan off through command.execute. The node half becomes the empty
roster apply: plan behavior (command, policy, projection unit) is owned by
dsh-plan-mode, already composed on the web roster with its policy in
cordis.yml. The superseded RPC-backed setPlanMode face, the WEB_PLAN_SECTION
duplicate, and the node-plugin spec are removed; the roster row moves from
the retired CLIENT_PACKAGES table to the cordis.yml dshClient roster.
Sweep the silently auto-merged leftovers of the superseded #587 wire layer:
the PlanModeState interface and planMode/setPlanMode entries in the sessions
API and rpc map, the fixture plan RPC spec, the composer.controls README
paragraph and spec assertions, the old-format plan-mode snapshot, and the
two Agent Notes written against the RPC design (to be rewritten for the
projection reattachment). ChatView/PendingCard keep the approval-only
pending rendering; QuestionComposer improvements ride along unchanged.
Resolution follows the reattachment plan: the #587 wire layer (planMode/
setPlanMode RPC, prompt.planMode, client Session projection fences) is
dropped in favor of the session-projection base now on master; master
structure wins in all shared files. Kept from the PR side: the approval-only
pending filter in ChatView (questions render solely through the composer
takeover) and the auto-merged QuestionComposer improvements. The deleted
host/runtime package and retired test carriers are removed with master.
web.ts re-sampled interfaces after boot, so an address change during
entry.run() could advertise a LAN URL absent from the trustedHosts snapshot
composePatches captured, answering 403 on arrival. resolveLanTrust now
returns the single sample and AppCLIEntry exposes it for display.
Review found three scroll containers sitting on surfaces the rebinding
contract covers, none of which rebound: ui-primitives' shared Menu card
on --dsw-specific-menu (the surface PopupSelectView already rebinds for),
and the composer input and question composer cards, both on
--dsw-specific-input-major. Each rendered the l1 thumb, which differs
from l2 only in the dark palette and only on that surface, so a
light-palette screenshot and a code read both look correct.
Adds the mechanical check that would have caught them instead of leaving
it to inspection: a sheet that scrolls somewhere and paints a known
elevated surface somewhere must rebind. The elevated set is derived from
the sheets that already rebind, since a rebinding rule paints the surface
whose elevation it declares, so a new elevated surface joins the set by
rebinding rather than by anyone updating a list. Surface-level rather than
element-level because the card and the descendant that scrolls are
separate rules and CSS text does not say which contains which. Verified by
reverting each of the three fixes in turn: the check names the sheet and
the surface every time.
Also commits snapshots/sidebar-scrollbar/geometry.expected.md, the
resolved scrollbar style and geometry in both palettes. The aria goldens
the other web scenarios commit cannot carry a CSS-only change, since it
alters no DOM and no accessible name and leaves their trees
byte-identical. Absolute coordinates stay out: they track font metrics and
the laid-out sidebar width, so committing them would document the platform
and force a per-platform re-record.
ds-review-bot round 2. The workspace UI never consulted the advertised
directoryPicker kind: under a browse (or merge-added) backend it still
rendered 'Open local folder…' and called pickDirectory(), which the host
answers with directory-picker-unavailable. The create flow now reads
directoryPickerKind() per menu open and renders the dialog affordance only
under 'dialog' — browse (until its in-app browser UI lands) and unknown
kinds hide the entry, realizing the seam's documented default; a keyless
workspace-flow snapshot pins the hidden entry over the browse fixture.
The browse backend also resolved wire paths, silently rebasing '' or
relative parents under the host process cwd; both primitives now reject
non-absolute explicit paths with their business codes, and the seam JSDoc
carries the contract.
The e2e measured the reserved band but never the symptom the change is
named for. Headless chromium defaults to an overlay scrollbar, which is
the configuration where a bar can cover row content at all, so the
scenario already ran in the right mode: against clean master the band is
0 and the bar covers 7px of the relative time.
Adds timeCoveredBy, the overlap between the relative time's right edge
and the range the bar occupies, taking the bar's width from the sheet
where it applies and from the UA's overlay width otherwise. Assuming 0
there would report no occlusion in precisely the state that has it.
Keeps the band assertion rather than replacing it: the two catch
different regressions. Removing only scrollbar-gutter leaves
timeCoveredBy at 0, because the bar is then 8px and the row's right
padding is also 8px, so it abuts the timestamp without covering it.
Removing the pseudo-element width as well is what produces the overlap.
Each was mutation-checked with the other assertions in its test silenced.
Records in the note that the gutter and the ::-webkit-scrollbar width are
jointly necessary against an overlay bar, measured by deleting each from
the live cascade with the other in force: either alone drops the band
from 8 to 0.
The web GUI's folder picking was hardwired to one interaction: a native
OS chooser compiled into the gateway, unusable for remote deployments
and swappable only by editing apiproxy source.
Directory picking becomes a three-package capability seam in
packages/host: ctx.directoryPicker returns a discriminated capability —
dialog (the extracted native chooser; host-display only) or browse
(new: one-level listing + child creation over Node stdlib, hidden flags
host-stamped, symlinks followed, ancestry crumbs; remote-capable). The
gateway injects the seam, advertises the kind via
host.describe.directoryPicker, serves host.listDirectory /
host.createDirectory under browse, and answers
directory-picker-unavailable across kinds. cordis.yml is the swap
point; apps/cli keeps dialog mounted, so behavior is unchanged until
the in-app browser PR flips the default. The connection fixture serves
a deterministic browse tree; WorkspacesService gains the browse calls
the browser UI will drive. Decision record:
.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-28-directory-picker-capability-seam.md
Markerless requests pass on any Host (a non-browser sender is the principal
and forges headers anyway); browser Host matching gains port-less entries and
WHATWG normalization; dsh derives LAN IP-literal authorities for an
all-interfaces bind and web grows --trusted-host for named ones.
