Name the runnable leaf for the line-oriented front door it owns, matching the existing tui-agent and acp-agent organization. Move the complete config, Code Mode overlay, tests, metadata, and generated composition graph together, then update every loader path and repository reference. Keep the shared model identity independent of its terminal front door by phrasing the persona as a coding-agent role rather than retaining the retired leaf name. Regenerate graph and tool catalogs and re-record each affected bilingual pair so derived documentation cannot point at the removed path.
ui/ — editor/client integration surfaces
Integrations that expose the agent to an external editor or client. These are product packages: a real surface a user drives the harness through.
| Package | Role | ctx key |
|---|---|---|
acp/ |
Agent Client Protocol bridge: serves the agent to an ACP editor (Zed) over JSON-RPC stdio | (drives ctx.agents/ctx.sessions) |
user-approval/ |
One-shot user-approval mechanism, closed outcome vocabulary, audit events, and per-session approval policy | ctx.approval |
permission/ |
User-facing permission presets (workspace-write/danger-full-access): one product-level select bundling the sandbox-mode and approval-policy knobs, written through to their session events |
ctx.permission |
user-interaction/ |
Abstract human question/answer seam used by UI-backed confirmation tools | ctx.userInteraction |
tool-ask-user/ |
Model-facing ask_user_question tool over ctx.userInteraction |
(registers on ctx.tools) |
stdio/ |
Line-oriented terminal channel for pipes and automation; drives ctx.agents, renders session/event, and answers ctx.userInteraction |
(drives ctx.agents) |
tui/ |
Interactive pi-tui terminal channel for TTY sessions; renders session/event, tool presentation intents, and answers ctx.userInteraction |
(drives ctx.agents) |
jsonrpc/ |
Stdio JSON-RPC server for out-of-process SDK clients | (drives ctx.agents) |
app-boot/ |
Shared boot glue for the app bins: .env loading, fail-loud Loader guards, snapshot-aware config resolution, the settle-the-tree boot sequence |
(library for the bins) |
A UI integration is a client-driver plugin, not a loop change and not a capability seam: it consumes the existing agent/* event taxonomy and the dsh-agent factory. The jsonrpc plugin is the SDK-client sibling of the acp bridge (a JSON-RPC server over ctx.agents for out-of-process SDK clients rather than editors). The stdio and tui plugins are the two terminal front doors: one is line-oriented for pipes, the other is interactive for TTYs. App bundles and SDK projects compose the appropriate channel explicitly with the services and tools their product profile selects.
user-approval, user-interaction, and tool-ask-user live here because asking a human is a UI-backed product affordance, not part of the providerless core spine. user-approval owns the one-shot ctx.approval decision mechanism and its policy tier; answerers remain with their UI channel owners. user-interaction remains provider-neutral (ctx.userInteraction), while tool-ask-user is its model-facing consumer and the app/bridge packages provide concrete providers.
The runnable app bundles that bake these bridges into boot bins — the terminal chat app, the ACP server app, and the JSON-RPC SDK-runtime bin — live in examples/ (stdio-demo, acp-demo, jsonrpc-demo), each composed over the agent-spine-demo bundle. ui/ keeps the reusable bridge/channel plugins and the app-boot glue; each front door owns its stdout policy, and a leaf cordis.yml supplies backends and optional tools.
