tasks/ — background task capability family
The shared home for background-task ids, owner isolation, reads, cancellation, waiting, and completion notices. Bash, subagents, and future long-running tools use one model-facing protocol. See the background-task runtime Agent Note.
| Package | ctx key | Role |
|---|---|---|
tasks (@deepseek-ai/dsh-tasks) |
ctx.tasks |
The registry service: branded <kind>-N ids, owner-fenced read/kill/wait/list, settlement bookkeeping, the awaited owner-cleanup path, and the attachSurface misconfiguration fence |
tool-tasks (@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-tasks) |
— | The model-facing control surface: task_output, task_list, task_kill, the completion-notice injection, and the background-habit prompt section |
The registry owns state across producer or surface reloads; the tool package owns presentation. Producers register execution hooks through ctx.tasks.start and own whether their config exposes run_in_background.
