The first real agent wiring: DeepSeek V4 + the bash tool suite + stdio
chat + JSONL persistence, runnable via yarn demo:coding (reads the
gitignored repo-root .env through process.loadEnvFile).
- examples/coding-agent: cordis.yml wiring both real plugin families
(llm-deepseek with !!js env secrets; bash-local + tool-bash), a
bash-only coding system prompt, a max-steps-guard plugin (bounds
runaway turns via the agent/turn-continuation waterfall — abort()
from step-end is a no-op by then), and a stdio UI with dimmed
reasoning and exit-on-idle for piped stdin.
- e2e (yarn test:e2e, key-gated): full-loop.e2e.ts runs a real model
against the real bash tool; coding-task.e2e.ts is the swebench-style
smoke — the model fixes a buggy add.js in a temp dir and the test
re-runs node add.test.js itself rather than trusting the agent.
- docs/cookbook: adding-a-package (the verified checklist),
adding-a-tool (execute() contract, background pattern, seams),
adding-an-llm-adapter (protocol obligations, mock-server testing,
e2e policy). AGENTS.md layout/commands/secrets sections updated;
architecture.md points at both examples and the cookbook.
- vitest.e2e.config.ts: serialize test files + retry twice — parallel
e2e files trip the shared internal key's concurrency quota.
- fix: the !js YAML tag spelling in docs/JSDoc is actually !!js
(js-yaml resolves custom tags under tag:yaml.org,2002:js).
