@deepseek-ai/dsh-code-runtime-worker

Worker-thread implementation of the @deepseek-ai/dsh-code-runtime seam: WorkerCodeRuntime runs each program in ONE fresh Node worker_threads.Worker — TypeScript in, type-stripped host-side, bindings bridged over the message port, { value, logs, error? } out. Containment, not a security boundary: trust posture is bash-equivalent by design (the Code Mode RFC § Trust posture), with containment bash does not have — separate isolate, empty environment, heap cap, hard termination.

Config

- id: code-runtime
  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-code-runtime-worker'
  config:
    computeMs: 60000              # busy-time budget (measured event-loop active time)
    maxWallMs: 600000             # wall-clock ceiling; never pauses for anything
    maxLogBytes: 65536            # shared byte budget for captured log text
    maxValueBytes: 32768          # rendered-completion-value cap
    maxOldGenerationSizeMb: 512   # worker heap cap (resourceLimits)

Every field is validated (positive numbers) and defaulted; there are no other tunables.

Design

• One fresh worker per run, no pooling — a program's world dies with its worker: no cross-run state to log, state bleed unrepresentable, runs reconstructable from the session log alone.
• Type-strip host-side, in execution context — the program is wrapped in an async-function shell, stripped with node:module's stripTypeScriptTypes (erasable syntax only — enum/namespaces are rejected as a program exception and no worker spawns), and sliced back out byte-positioned; it then executes as the body of an AsyncFunction, so top-level await/return work.
• The port assumes a hostile peer — model code can reach parentPort and forge traffic, so the host answers each call id at most once, resolves binding names as OWN properties only (a forged constructor cannot walk a prototype chain), drops post-settlement replies, and converts a non-cloneable binding resolution into an error reply. Worker-side namespaces are null-prototype with defineProperty, so __proto__-shaped binding names are ordinary keys.
• Two independent budgets, because the peer is hostile — computeMs meters the worker's MEASURED busy time (worker.performance.eventLoopUtilization() polling): a hot loop cannot hide behind a pending decoy dispatch, and a program awaiting a slow tool accrues nothing. maxWallMs backstops what busy time cannot see (awaiting a promise nobody resolves). Both funnel into worker.terminate(), which ends hot synchronous loops too; heap overflow surfaces as the worker's OOM exit (kind: 'worker-exit').
• Logs stream eagerly — console/stdout/stderr entries cross the port as they happen, so a timed-out or killed program still shows what it printed; pipe bytes that bypass the patched streams are appended after, under the same byte budget.
• Empty environment — the worker gets env: {} and execArgv: []: no ambient credentials (stronger than the scrubbed-env rule for spawned commands) and no inherited loader flags.
• Dispose to quiescence — teardown fails in-flight runs as abort and AWAITS each worker's exit before resolving.

The worker entry, unbuilt and built

worker.ts is deliberately erasable-only TypeScript with type-only cross-package imports: unbuilt (vitest/tsx), the host spawns src/worker.ts directly and Node's native type stripping loads it; built, the entry ships as the sibling bundle lib/worker.js (its own tsdown entry). The built path is pinned by tests/built-lib.e2e.ts, the real-load-path guard from docs/testing.md.
