Tianyi Cui 7f024a1a9d Document the codebase thoroughly and tighten type safety
Docs: per-folder README.md for packages/ (family overview + one per
package: service, events, API, extension points, TODOs), examples/,
and examples/echo-agent/; folder-level AGENTS.md (+ CLAUDE.md
symlinks) for packages/ and vendor/; module-level doc comments in
every packages/*/src file; richer JSDoc on all exported API
(event side effects, disposal contracts, error behavior). Root
AGENTS.md gains a "Type Safety and Documentation" policy section:
the codebase aims to be very type-safe and well documented; type
gymnastics are acceptable in core packages when they improve
plugin-author DX; verbose docs are fine as long as they stay strictly
in sync with the code.

Type safety: removed the upstream-inherited "noImplicitAny": false
from tsconfig.base.json — packages/* now compile under full strict
mode; vendor/loader and vendor/include set it locally (vendor/cordis
already did). Eliminated every `: any` / `as any` from packages and
examples (catch clauses use unknown + a CodedError narrowing type;
event data access uses discriminated-union narrowing).

Typed tool schemas: new @deepseek-ai/dsh-tools schema DSL —
SchemaSpec with per-property `required: true` booleans, type-level
InferArgs<S>, a runtime SchemaSpec → JSON Schema converter, and
defineTool() so first-party tools get typed execute(args) with zero
casts (raw JSON Schema still accepted for MCP interop; chosen over
schemastery because it targets JSON Schema generation directly).
echo-tool and all test tools migrated; +7 tests.

Packages

Harness packages, all under the @deepseek-ai/dsh-* scope. Each package is a Cordis service (microkernel plugin-style): it exports a default Service class that gets registered via ctx.plugin(), declares its ctx key and events through declaration merging, and exposes extension points through ctx.effect(), ctx.on(), and ctx.waterfall().

Dependency graph

dsh-llm          (no harness deps — pure vocabulary)
dsh-session       ← dsh-llm
dsh-system-prompt ← dsh-llm
dsh-agent         ← dsh-llm, dsh-session
dsh-tools         ← dsh-llm, dsh-system-prompt, dsh-agent
dsh-agent-loop    ← dsh-llm, dsh-session, dsh-system-prompt, dsh-tools, dsh-agent

The rule: plugins depend on interfaces, never on the concrete loop. dsh-agent-loop is swappable — UI/hook/tool plugins keep working against the dsh-agent vocabulary if the loop is replaced.

What goes where

Package Role ctx key
llm/ Abstract LLM service + content-block vocabulary + chunk assembler ctx.llm
session/ Event-sourced session log + in-memory store ctx.sessions
system-prompt/ Prompt-section + tool-schema assembly registry ctx.systemPrompt
tools/ Tool registry + tools/execute waterfall ctx.tools
agent/ Agent interface, registry, agent/* event vocabulary ctx.agents
agent-loop/ THE concrete plugin: LoopAgent + the loop driver ctx.agentLoop

Each package has its own README.md with purpose, service API, events, extension points, and deliberate non-goals (TODOs).

Conventions (applied across all harness packages)

  • Registrations are effects: every contribution (adapter, tool, section, agent, event listener) goes through ctx.effect() / ctx.on(), so disposal and HMR clean up automatically. Every register() returns the disposer.
  • Declaration merging for events and ctx: services declare their events in declare module 'cordis' { interface Events { ... } } and their ctx key in interface Context.
  • Waterfall semantics: ctx.waterfall listeners receive (...args, next) and MUST call next() to delegate; returning without it short-circuits (the veto mechanism).
  • Extensible unions: ContentBlockMap, MessageSourceMap, FinishReasonMap, TurnTriggerMap, TurnEndReasonMap, and SessionEventMap use the merge-extensible-map pattern so plugins can add variants via declaration merging.
  • ESM everywhere; imports use package names across package boundaries, .ts extensions within a package.
  • Tests: vitest, colocated under packages/<name>/tests/*.spec.ts. Every registry needs an HMR-safety test. Err on the side of more tests.
