$DSH_HOME/.env had just become an ordinary environment layer, which left the harness resolving user-facing values from a flattened process.env that could no longer say where a value came from. A key stored through the web page stayed shadowed by an older key in the user's own .env. An endpoint could be redirected by the project: the invoking directory's .env is materialized like every other layer, and a base URL decides where a resolved API key is sent, so a DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL written into a model-editable workspace would send the user's credential — and the prompts carrying their code — to whatever host that file named. Give every user-facing value one ordering, with four kinds of source: explicit for this run per-operation override, CLI argument > authored by deployment --config / --config-replace > this launch's shell inherited process environment > product-managed store settings.yaml, .credentials.yaml > discovered file $DSH_HOME/.env > defaults schema default, shipped base, public default The domains differ only in which tiers exist. The earlier split — credentials ranking the environment over the managed file while settings ranked over the environment — was inconsistent: the distinguishing fact is who authored the source, not the domain. packages/util/environment owns an immutable snapshot with per-layer provenance. getFrom(name, sources) searches only the layers a caller names, and omitting one is a refusal rather than a demotion: the adapters ask for ['process', 'user-env'], so no reordering can let a project file back into a decision it was excluded from. isBootstrapOnly rejects, before anything is materialized, any .env setting a variable that governs how a process launches (PATH, SHELL, NODE_OPTIONS, LD_PRELOAD), where code or model-visible instructions load from (the whole DSH_* namespace, HOME, XDG_*), or how the network is reached (proxy and CA variables). The namespace is denied wholesale so a switch added later cannot become settable by being forgotten, and there is no opt-out. verify-config-source-ownership keeps both rules: no unregistered process.env read under packages/*/*/src (26 allowlisted with reasons), and no apiKey, baseURL, or headers inlined from the environment in shipped Cordis config — removing those inlines is what makes the deployment tier meaningful.
llm/ — LLM capability family
English | 中文
The LLM seam and its provider adapters. The interface package (llm) owns the abstract service, the content-block vocabulary, and the stream-chunk assembler; the adapters are concrete implementations that register on ctx.llm. All product packages.
| Package | Role | ctx key |
|---|---|---|
llm/ |
Abstract LLM service + content-block vocabulary + chunk assembler | ctx.llm |
token-meter/ |
Replay-aware request and surface token measurement | ctx.tokenMeter |
llm-retry/ |
Exact-provider normal or unbounded request retry policy | (listens to agent/request-error) |
llm-deepseek/ |
DeepSeek API adapter (direct fetch + eventsource-parser SSE) | (registers on ctx.llm) |
llm-pi-ai/ |
Multi-provider adapter via @earendil-works/pi-ai |
(registers on ctx.llm) |
The interface lives at llm/llm/; adapters, retry policy, and the reusable token meter are flat siblings under the group. Requests route by provider, while model is passed through to the selected adapter. The route-owning adapter supplies retry policy and resolves available exact-model identity, context capacity, and reasoning metadata; the retry executor and token meter remain provider-agnostic. A new provider adapter registers one or more provider routes on ctx.llm without touching the consumers. See twin LLM adapters for the two shipping implementations, the replay token meter Agent Note for measurement ownership, and the routed model context Agent Note for capacity and compaction-policy ownership.
