The createdAt+recordedId child sort comment over-claimed "tie-safe". Codex flagged that a same-millisecond sibling tie would be broken by random session id, which does not recover first-call order. In the current synchronous cut that tie is unreachable — the subagent tool awaits one child's result and disposes it before the parent starts the next, so siblings' createdAt values are strictly ordered and match first-call order. Restate the comment to that real invariant (at both the replay sort and the harvest sort), note that the id tiebreak only makes a degenerate collision deterministic, and flag the concurrent-subagent cut that would need a real first-call ordinal with XXX(concurrent-subagents). The RFC records the same limitation. Comment/doc only — no behavior change.
Examples
Runnable demos (not workspaces) that showcase how the harness is wired. Each example is now a thin leaf: a cordis.yml that picks the swappable backends (an LLM adapter, a bash executor) and loads ONE app package, plus any demo-only mocks. The composition — the spine, the front-door cluster, and the boot glue — lives in the app packages (@deepseek-ai/dsh-stdio-agent, @deepseek-ai/dsh-acp-agent) and the @deepseek-ai/dsh-agent-core bundle they share. There is no start.ts; the demo:* scripts invoke each app package's bin.
echo-agent
A mock model + echo tool on the stdio chat app — the all-mock skeleton. The leaf swaps dsh-stdio-agent's LLM backend to a local mock-echo adapter and adds a local echo tool. Demonstrates:
- A thin leaf
cordis.ymlloading the@deepseek-ai/dsh-stdio-agentapp - Registering a mock
LlmAdapter(streaming scripted responses) - Registering a tool via
ctx.tools.register() - "Swap the backend, keep the app" — the only difference from
coding-agentis the adapter
Run with: pnpm run demo:echo. When prompted, type "echo " to trigger a tool call round-trip.
coding-agent
The real thing: DeepSeek V4 + the bash tool suite on the same @deepseek-ai/dsh-stdio-agent app. Where echo-agent proves the skeleton with mocks, this is a usable coding assistant.
Run with: pnpm run demo:coding (needs DEEPSEEK_API_KEY in the environment or a gitignored repo-root .env). See coding-agent/README.md for details.
acp-agent
The same coding agent exposed as an Agent Client Protocol (ACP) server over JSON-RPC stdio, via the @deepseek-ai/dsh-acp-agent app — drive it from Zed or any other ACP client. Also the home of the keyless snapshot tests.
Run with: pnpm run demo:acp (needs DEEPSEEK_API_KEY). See acp-agent/README.md for the Zed setup and the snapshot-test design.
