# User Settings
English | [中文](settings.zh.md)
The user-settings seam of [dsh-settings](../../packages/settings/settings) holds one user-owned document of per-namespace sections and resolves each registered namespace as schema defaults, then the registrant's composition `base`, then the user section. Providers such as [dsh-settings-local](../../packages/settings/settings-local) store the raw document and push external edits; consumer plugins register a schema and read or observe the resolved value. Composition config stays in `cordis.yml` — a namespace carries only the user-editable subset.
Source: [`packages/settings/settings/src/index.ts`](../../packages/settings/settings/src/index.ts)
## Identity
A namespace names one plugin-owned section of the user document. The brand keeps namespaces from mixing with other cross-boundary ids; construction validates the lowercase kebab-case shape.
```ts type-equiv
/** Nominal id of one registered settings namespace. */
type SettingsNamespace = Branded<'SettingsNamespace'>
```
## Registration
Registration binds a schemastery schema to a namespace on the calling plugin's fiber — disposing that fiber removes the namespace and its observers. The options carry the composition layer and the owner's effect timing.
```ts type-equiv
/** Registration options beyond the namespace schema. */
interface SettingsRegisterOptions<T> {
/** Composition-layer values resolved below the user layer (entry-config subset). */
base?: Partial<T>
/** Owner's effect timing, surfaced to configuration UIs; defaults to `live`. */
applies?: SettingsApplies
}
```
`applies` is a UI hint, not a mechanism: a `restart` owner simply never watches, so its value is read once at construction and configuration surfaces can badge the pending change.
```ts type-equiv
/** When a namespace's changes take effect for its owner. */
type SettingsApplies = 'live' | 'restart'
```
## Owner scope
The scope is the owner-facing handle. `update` merges a sparse patch over the user section only (never into `base`); `replace` sets the section wholesale, which is the removal/reset path — keys absent from the replacement re-inherit `base` and schema defaults. Writes to one namespace are serialized in call order, and resolved values are deep-frozen snapshots.
```ts type-equiv
/** Owner-facing handle for one registered namespace. */
interface SettingsScope<T> {
/** Current resolved value: schema defaults, then `base`, then the user layer. */
get(): T
/**
* Observe committed changes to this namespace's resolved value. Invocations
* of one callback run asynchronously, one at a time, in commit order; a
* rejection is contained and logged like a sync throw.
* @param callback - invoked after each commit with the next and previous values.
* @returns the disposer removing this observer.
*/
watch(callback: (next: T, prev: T) => void | Promise<void>): () => void
/**
* Merge a partial patch into this namespace's user layer and persist it.
* @param patch - plain-object patch over the user section.
*/
update(patch: object): Promise<void>
/**
* Replace this namespace's user section wholesale; absent keys re-inherit
* the composition `base` and schema defaults (`replace({})` resets all).
* @param section - the complete next user section.
*/
replace(section: object): Promise<void>
}
```
## Descriptors
`describe()` serializes every registered namespace for configuration surfaces: the schemastery `toJSON()` envelope drives schema-rendered forms, the resolved value fills them, and the detached `base`/`user` layers let a form mark user-overridden fields by presence. `describe({ redactSecrets: true })` — mandatory on every wire surface — strips `role('secret')` fields from all three layers and enumerates their `{path, set}` slots so a page can render write-only inputs without ever receiving a secret.
```ts type-equiv
/** One registered namespace as surfaced to configuration UIs. */
interface SettingsDescriptor {
/** The registered namespace. */
ns: SettingsNamespace
/** Serialized schemastery schema (`schema.toJSON()`). */
schema: unknown
/** Current resolved value. */
value: unknown
/** Registrant's composition `base` layer (detached), when one was declared. */
base?: unknown
/**
* Raw user section from the stored document (detached), when one exists and
* is well-formed; a field's presence here is what marks it user-overridden.
*/
user?: unknown
/** Owner's declared effect timing. */
applies: SettingsApplies
/** Schema-declared secret positions; present only under `redactSecrets`. */
secrets?: RedactedSecret[]
}
```
```ts type-equiv
/** Options for {@link Settings.describe}. */
interface SettingsDescribeOptions {
/**
* Strip `role('secret')` fields from `value`/`base`/`user` and enumerate
* them in each descriptor's `secrets`. Every wire surface MUST pass this;
* the verbatim default exists for same-process configuration UIs only.
*/
redactSecrets?: boolean
}
```
## Change commits
Every committed change — an in-process write or an externally observed provider edit — emits `settings/updated (ns, next, prev, source)` after the new value is authoritative, and never when the resolved value is deep-equal. The source tag separates the two entry paths.
```ts type-equiv
/** Origin of one committed settings change. */
type SettingsUpdateSource = 'update' | 'provider'
```
