A reviewer found that `cancel(reason)` only preserved the caller's reason when
an active AbortController observed it (the mid-step path, via
`abort.signal.reason`). The marker-only windows (step-start at loop.ts and the
continuation gate) hardcoded `reason: 'cancelled'`, so the logged `turn/end`
reason was race-dependent on WHERE the cancel landed and the public
`cancel(reason?)` parameter was half-effective.
Capture the resolved reason (`reason ?? 'cancelled'`) on the agent when the
marker is armed, expose it on the LoopHandle as `cancelReason()`, and use it in
both marker branches so a turn dropped without a live controller records the
SAME `{kind:'aborted', reason}` the mid-step path produces.
The two existing window tests asserted `reason: 'cancelled'` while passing
`'from turn-start'` / `'from continuation'` — they documented the bug. Updated
both to assert the caller's reason (behavior + test changed together, per
AGENTS.md "tests document behavior, not golden truth").
Also fixes two stale docs the PR's contract change left behind: the
module-level ACP mapping comment and `codec.ts` both still said `session/cancel
-> agent.abort()`.
Packages
Harness packages, all under the @deepseek-ai/dsh-* scope. Each package is a Cordis plugin (microkernel-style): it exports either a default Service subclass or a functional plugin that gets registered via ctx.plugin(), declares its ctx key/events where applicable through declaration merging, and exposes extension points through ctx.effect(), ctx.on(), and ctx.waterfall().
Dependency graph
dsh-llm (no harness deps — pure vocabulary)
dsh-bash (no harness deps — abstract executor seam)
dsh-session ← dsh-llm
dsh-system-prompt ← dsh-llm
dsh-agent ← dsh-llm, dsh-session
dsh-tools ← dsh-llm, dsh-system-prompt, dsh-agent
dsh-bash-local ← dsh-bash (BashExecutor impl)
dsh-tool-bash ← dsh-bash, dsh-tools (bash tool schemas)
dsh-llm-deepseek ← dsh-llm (DeepSeek adapter)
dsh-llm-pi-ai ← dsh-llm (pi-ai-backed adapter)
dsh-agent-loop ← dsh-llm, dsh-session, dsh-system-prompt, dsh-tools, dsh-agent
dsh-invariants ← dsh-llm, dsh-session, dsh-agent (dev-mode contract checks)
dsh-acp ← dsh-agent, dsh-llm, dsh-session, dsh-session-persistence (ACP JSON-RPC bridge)
dsh-ui-stdio ← dsh-agent, dsh-llm, dsh-session (stdio readline UI plugin)
dsh-llm-replay ← dsh-llm, dsh-session (record/replay adapter for keyless snapshot tests)
The rule: plugins depend on interfaces, never on the concrete loop. dsh-agent-loop is swappable — UI/hook/tool plugins keep working against the dsh-agent vocabulary if the loop is replaced. A swappable capability splits into interface / implementation / consumer packages (the bash trio is the template — see capability seams).

Conventions (applied across all harness packages)
- Registrations are effects: every contribution (adapter, tool, section, agent, event listener) goes through
ctx.effect()/ctx.on(), so disposal and HMR clean up automatically. Everyregister()returns the disposer. - Declaration merging for events and ctx: services declare their events in
declare module 'cordis' { interface Events { ... } }and their ctx key ininterface Context. - Waterfall semantics:
ctx.waterfalllisteners receive(...args, next)and MUST callnext()to delegate; returning without it short-circuits (the veto mechanism). - Extensible unions:
ContentBlockMap,MessageSourceMap,FinishReasonMap,TurnTriggerMap,TurnEndReasonMap, andSessionEventMapuse the merge-extensible-map pattern so plugins can add variants via declaration merging. - ESM everywhere; imports use package names across package boundaries,
.tsextensions within a package. - Tests: vitest, colocated under
packages/<name>/tests/*.spec.ts. Every registry needs an HMR-safety test. Err on the side of more tests.
