Tianyi Cui e2bde2902c refactor(examples): extract the app spine into dsh-agent-core + app packages
Implements docs/rfc/.../2026-06-20-extract-example-app-packages.md. Each
example was thick — a hand-rolled start.ts, an infra preamble, nested
base.yml/base-core.yml/acp-tail.yml includes, and a coupled front-door
cluster enforced only by prose. This moves the composition into packages so
each example is a thin leaf cordis.yml: pick the swappable backends, load one
app package.

New packages:
  - @deepseek-ai/dsh-agent-core (packages/core/agent-core): one bundle plugin
    that loads the providerless/executor-less/UI-less spine (timer + llm +
    sessions + system-prompt + tools + agents + invariants + tool-bash +
    agent-loop) via ctx.plugin(...) inside apply(), and forwards agent-loop's
    `agents` list as its own Config (export const Config = AgentLoop.Config,
    default []).
  - @deepseek-ai/dsh-stdio-agent (packages/ui/stdio-agent): terminal chat APP —
    agent-core + console logger + readline UI + a pre-created `main` agent, with
    a bin. The demo:echo/coding front door.
  - @deepseek-ai/dsh-acp-agent (packages/ui/acp-agent): ACP server APP —
    agent-core + JSONL persistence + the acp bridge, NO stdout logger, with a
    bin. The stdout-purity footgun is structurally unreachable from the leaf.

Amendment to the RFC: hmr stays a LEAF cordis.yml entry, not baked into
dsh-stdio-agent. hmr is a Loader-only dev plugin (throws without
--expose-internals; the in-process test tier can't even import its decorator
form), so a package statically importing it could never carry the per-file
coverage gate. Unlike the console logger, a stray hmr is not a stdout-purity
footgun, so leaving it at the leaf costs no safety. With hmr out, all three new
packages carry in-process unit specs at 100%.

Boot glue (Loader tail, .env load, snapshot-mode selection, stdin-dispose
lifecycle) moves into each app's bin; start.ts and base.yml/base-core.yml/
acp-tail.yml are deleted. Each app package gets a keyless real-load-path test
that boots through its bin + the cordis Loader (guarding the unwrapExports
export-shape bug class, postmortem 0001). ACP snapshot replay stays green
against the existing committed goldens (pure boot restructuring). RFC moved
proposed->implemented with the amendment recorded; package/example/architecture
docs and the module graph updated.

echo-agent

Runnable demo: stdin chat with a scripted mock model and an echo tool. The all-mock skeleton — "swap the backend, keep the app".

What it shows

This example is just a leaf cordis.yml: it loads the @deepseek-ai/dsh-stdio-agent app (which bundles the whole @deepseek-ai/dsh-agent-core spine, the console logger, JSONL persistence, the readline UI, and a pre-created main agent), and swaps in two example-local backends plus hmr:

  • mock-llm.ts — a mock LlmAdapter that streams scripted responses and calls the echo tool when the user types "echo ". Registered with ctx.llm.registerAdapter(['mock-echo'], …).
  • echo-tool.ts — a tool registered via ctx.tools.register(defineTool(…)) with typed execute args; echoes text back uppercased.

Swapping mock-llm for the real llm-deepseek adapter is all that separates this from coding-agent — the same app, a different backend.

Plugin files

File Role Key patterns demonstrated
src/mock-llm.ts LlmAdapter registration ctx.llm.registerAdapter(['mock-echo'], …), streaming chunks with the proper block-start/block-end protocol
src/echo-tool.ts Tool registration ctx.tools.register(defineTool(…)) with typed execute args, returning ContentBlock[]
cordis.yml Leaf wiring the two backends + hmr + one @deepseek-ai/dsh-stdio-agent entry carrying the app config

The spine, UI, persistence, and boot glue all live in @deepseek-ai/dsh-stdio-agent and the bundle it loads — this folder holds only the demo-specific mocks and the leaf wiring.

Run

pnpm run demo:echo
# or:
node --expose-internals --import tsx packages/ui/stdio-agent/src/bin.ts examples/echo-agent/cordis.yml

Type a message and press Enter. "echo " triggers a tool call round-trip (the mock model requests the echo tool, which echoes the text uppercased, and the next model step acknowledges it).

The session is persisted under .sessions/ relative to the directory you launch the demo from. pnpm run demo:echo runs from the repo root, so the logs land in <repo-root>/.sessions/ (a session with no cwd goes in the _no-cwd/ bucket, one .jsonl log per session). Clean up with: rm -rf .sessions
