- 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.
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.
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.
Consolidates the personal dsh-tui customizations (module split into
components/session/extension, prompt template + running-glyph indicator,
copyable transcript, tool-card headers, timing placement, XML tool output,
status/footer rework) and ports upstream's model reasoning-effort selector
(Shift+Tab effort cycling, effort-aware /model, footer, and /status) onto
the personal module layout.
The remote side re-merged master (i18n workflow round) and restored the
pre-architecture ModelSelector package with the Session-side state
machine. Reconciliation keeps that merge's master content and reasserts
this branch's model architecture: business state lives in ui-model's
shared per-session directory (ctx.models), not on Session/
ConversationSnapshot; the input.model seat entry and the /model popup
stay the two same-source entries; the history modelTarget piggyback stays
removed. The ui-model-selector package, its roster row, and its allowlist
entry go; the smoke-real roster names ui-model.
- host trio kept on the merged api-proxy: session.models (provider-grouped
advisory directory), session.selectModel (validated provider, advisory
model), installAgentLlmTarget threaded through create/resume/ensureSession;
the gateway declares the llm inject it reads
- history no longer piggybacks modelTarget: the current target travels on
session.models alone (the /model popup is the sole consumer)
- new @deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-model plugin: /model popupSelect over the
wire — options load the directory (group label in the detail column,
provider-local failures listed inline), onSelect routes selectModel;
failures ride the popup shell's error/retry surface
- ModelSelector package, conversation.composer.control slot, and the
Session-side modelSelection state machine are removed: model selection
belongs to the /model popup; the named conversation.input.model seat
stays empty until a control-seat entry is designed for it
Implements the execa Agent Note's four sub-changes:
- execa (root devDep + loader-smoke dep) replaces the hand-rolled
spawn-collect-timeout choreography in loader-smoke, apps/cli and
cli-demo/acp-demo built-bin e2e, lsp-local and code-runtime-worker
built-lib e2e, the tui pty-harness outer collector, the jsonrpc
keyless smoke, and crash-recovery's child spawn. Genuinely custom
parts stay custom: cli-demo's interrupt-on-marker, jsonrpc's
line-predicate protocol driving, crash-recovery's SIGKILL-at-failpoint.
The two loader-smoke /* v8 ignore */ OS-error branches are gone.
- llm-mock-server CLI tokenizes via node:util parseArgs; numeric
coercion/bounds/cross-option constraints stay manual; pinned
error-message tests updated to the parseArgs texts.
- both loadRootEnv copies in apps/web/tests are deleted: the owning
vitest configs (web unconditionally, snapshot in record mode)
already load the repo-root .env before these files run.
- the four poll loops (acp-snapshot harness waits + crash-recovery
waitForFile) ride vi.waitFor with explicit {interval, timeout}.
