`dsh` shipped two config trees that were 43 rows the same: apps/cli/cordis.yml composed web as 74 flat rows, while the TUI booted examples/tui-agent/cordis.yml whose single `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui-demo` row mounted twelve plugins behind a twenty-key pass-through Config. Neither file was what its location claimed — apps/cli hardcoded the "example" as the product default and the "demo" bundle was the application — and every capability change had to be made twice. - apps/cli/base.cordis.yml holds the 43 shared rows; tui.cordis.yml and web.cordis.yml are patch lists stating only what differs per surface - overlays apply as SIBLING patch lists at one include level, because include patches never cross an include boundary. Precedence: base < surface < (--config | personal ~/.dsh/config.yaml) < launcher flag/profile patches - `--config` now applies an overlay INSTEAD OF the personal one, so a demo or test tree never inherits the user's route; new `--config-replace` boots a file as the entire tree (the old `--config` behaviour). Both survive /resume - vendor/include: index each `insert`ed row as it is added so a later patch can configure or disable it. Upstream built the id index once before the patch loop, leaving every surface-only row — the whole TUI front door — silently unpatchable from user config. Logged as local modification 8 - session identity moves to dsh-agent-loop's CONFIGURED_AGENT_IDENTITIES_KEY; dsh-tui's MAIN_SESSION_ID_KEY is deleted (only the bundle read it) - delete examples/tui-agent, examples/cordis-agent, packages/examples/tui-demo; TUI tests → apps/cli/tests, cordis e2e → packages/cordis/tool-cordis/tests, examples/code-mode survives as an overlay leaf - `dsh web` gains --config, threaded into AppCLIEntry as an extra overlay Three latent defects surfaced and are fixed here: the TUI captured the optional sessionQuery service once at construction and could permanently disable /resume when it won the mount race; the session-store root silently reverted to a project-local ./.sessions; --config-replace was dropped by the resume handoff. Verified by booting each tree through the real Loader (TUI 55 entries, web 75, zero unsettled) rather than reading YAML. All eight terminal snapshots replay byte-identically; 14/14 PTY smoke, 112/112 snapshots, 25/25 doc-sync, hygiene and lint clean.

Configuration
English | 中文
Harness uses cordis.yml to describe which plugins an agent loads and the configuration passed to each one. The file composes capabilities; the generated configuration catalog records the fields and defaults each package actually supports, avoiding a second hand-maintained reference.
Start from a real configuration
The repository examples are runnable configurations and the most reliable starting points for a new project:
- the shared
dshbase plus thetui.cordis.ymloverlay combines the DeepSeek model, Bash, filesystem, compaction, subagents, workflows, and the interactive TUI. - headless-agent exposes the coding composition as a one-shot task.
- acp-agent exposes fresh sessions to programmatic ACP clients.
A minimal configuration is a list of plugin entries:
- id: llm-deepseek
name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-llm-deepseek'
config:
apiKey: !!js process.env.DEEPSEEK_API_KEY
models:
- deepseek-v4-flash
- id: bash
name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-bash-local'
- id: agent-loop
name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-agent-loop'
config:
agents:
- id: main
provider: deepseek
model: deepseek-v4-flash
Plugin entries
name identifies an npm package or a local module relative to cordis.yml; id gives the plugin instance a stable identity; and config supplies plugin-specific configuration. Set disabled: true to skip an entry temporarily.
- id: local-tool
name: './src/my-tool.ts'
disabled: false
config:
toolName: my_tool
Plugins load in file order. Place plugins that depend on services after the applications or capability plugins that provide them. Missing models, tools, and plugins fail as early as possible instead of being silently ignored.
JavaScript values and environment variables
The Cordis loader evaluates runtime expressions tagged with !!js. Keep API keys and other secrets in the gitignored .env file at the repository root, never in committed configuration.
config:
apiKey: !!js process.env.DEEPSEEK_API_KEY
cwd: !!js process.cwd()
The tag is !!js, not !js.
Exact configuration reference
The generated plugin configuration catalog lists every current field, type, and default. For composition concepts, continue to the architecture and capability interfaces. To create a configuration, copy the closest entry from the examples overview and adapt it.
