Yichen Jiang 590b76a7f0 fix(config): close the review findings on configuration source ownership
Two had real security consequences:

The bootstrap rejection ran on npm dotenv's parser while process.loadEnvFile
applied the file with Node's own. Two independently maintained dialects meant
the check and the thing it guards could disagree: a name Node accepts but the
checker misses would reach process.env unchecked, and BASH_ENV there runs a
file of the project's choosing on every `bash -c` the bash tool issues. Parse
once with node:util's parseEnv — the same engine loadEnvFile uses — and assign
the entries already checked, which also drops the dotenv dependency.

llm-pi-ai still returned a literal profile.apiKey ahead of everything, and it
registers a settings namespace, so the defect removed from llm-deepseek
survived intact in its design twin. The field is gone from the profile schema,
the resolution path, and the tests.

The rest are consistency and documentation defects the review named:

- verify-config-source-ownership did not scan the Python runtime's bundled
  cordis.yml, which still inlined apiKey and baseURL. Both are covered now, and
  the line-anchored INLINE_DENY documents that it is a tripwire, not a parser.
- The deny list missed NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED, the askpass hooks, the
  GIT_CONFIG_* redirections, and PYTHONHOME — all implied by its own stated
  rule about what a variable does.
- Snapshot lookups folded case on Windows, where environment names are
  case-insensitive and an exact-match Map could miss a higher-ranked layer.
- The credentials note claimed a read-time permission check was "not taken"
  while this PR implemented it; the credentials-local README still described
  two layers, live process.env reads, dotenv-era limitations, and a renamed
  anchor; the llm-deepseek README still advertised the removed literal apiKey;
  and web.ts and base.cordis.yml kept personal-overlay wording.
- The ownership note's literal-apiKey claim now names its scope: the
  web-search providers keep a literal field but register no settings
  namespace, so nothing can shadow a stored credential through them.

util/ — low-level shared utilities

English | 中文

Zero-dependency primitives shared across the other groups. A package lands here when it owns a tiny, foundational type or helper that several capability families need but that belongs to none of them — keeping it out of any one group avoids a capability package depending on an unrelated one just to reach a shared primitive. These are support packages: small, stable, and free of harness dependencies.

Package Role
brand/ The type-only Branded<B> nominal-typing primitive (no runtime code, no harness deps)
paths/ Canonical single-root DSH_HOME resolution plus shared filesystem path constants and helpers for harness user data (no harness deps)
timeout/ The timing/classification half of a timeout — clampTimeout/deadline/timeoutOf/TimeoutReason (pure functions, no harness deps); termination stays in each capability
retention/ Bounded model-facing output — ItemRetainer/TextRetainer + neutral notice helpers (pure, no harness deps); business semantics stay in each tool
atomic-write/ Atomic file replacement — writeFileAtomic (exclusive-create temp + rename carrying the caller-stated mode); shared by the settings and credentials stores
native-command/ No-shell execFile runner for host-native OS integrations — utf8 capture, abort propagation, Windows hide (no harness deps); command choice stays in each caller

dsh-brand is the canonical case: it owns ONLY the Branded<B> helper, so a capability package can brand the ids it owns (dsh-tasks's TaskId, dsh-session's SessionId, …) by depending on dsh-brand alone, without pulling in an unrelated package just to reach Branded.

dsh-paths gives every package the same configurable Harness home without assigning that cross-cutting fact to bash, skills, telemetry, or a composition bundle. It resolves an explicit value before $DSH_HOME, falls back to ~/.dsh, and returns an absolute path without caching, creating, or mutating anything. The harness keeps all user data under one root.

dsh-timeout follows the same shape for the timeout family: dsh-bash and dsh-web-fetch-local each fuse a caller's cancellation with a deadline and later classify "timed out" vs "cancelled" by depending on dsh-timeout alone. It deliberately owns only the timing/classification half — the termination (SIGKILL a process group, tear down a fetch socket) stays in each capability, because no shared layer can own every capability's kill (see the timeout-library Agent Note).

dsh-retention is the same split for bounded tool output: a tool (glob/grep/bash/web_fetch/web_search) feeds items or text into a retainer and gets back what it kept and exactly what it omitted — while grouping, exit codes, provider errors, and recovery prose stay tool-owned. It deliberately owns only the retention mechanic; truncated is a budget fact, never an "incomplete inspection" state (see the retention-library Agent Note).
