Codex convergence round 1 on the review-response commits: agent()'s post-acquire window was real and unguarded. `await acquireSlot()` yields at least one microtask tick even when a slot is free (and a queued waiter resumes a tick after its release), so a cancel() landing in that tick let the continuation start a child carrying an ALREADY-aborted signal — the in-code comment claimed the window could not exist. A provider that subscribes only to future abort events (the test stub; the seam does not promise pre-aborted-signal handling) would never settle such a child, leaking it until the dispose grace abandoned the run, and a backend that misses the pre-aborted signal would burn a full model turn after the user cancelled. agent() now re-checks isCancelled() immediately after the acquire (inside the slot-owning try, so the finally still releases), making every post-cancel path reject before subagents.start. New deterministic regression: cancel() in the same synchronous frame as start() lands in the free-slot await tick — the run settles cancelled with ZERO children started (previously: one leaked child and a grace-delayed settle). The raced-release test's comment now states what it actually pins (the queued-waiter rejection path). Also aligns the RFC's auto-concurrency formula with the code (min(16, max(1, availableParallelism() - 2))).
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, declares its ctx key/events through declaration merging, and exposes extension points through ctx.effect(), ctx.on(), and ctx.waterfall(). Authoring conventions: AGENTS.md (subtree) and the root AGENTS.md § Conventions.
Hierarchy
Packages are grouped by modular role at packages/<group>/<pkg>/. The group directory is a pure container (no package.json of its own); the package name stays @deepseek-ai/dsh-<pkg> regardless of group. Each group README is the canonical per-package map — package roles, ctx keys, and the product-vs-support split live there, next to the code.
| Group | Role | Release expectation |
|---|---|---|
core/ |
Product API spine: session, system-prompt, tools, agent, and the concrete loop | Product — stable surface |
llm/ |
LLM capability family: the abstract service + provider adapters | Product — stable surface |
bash/ |
Bash capability family: the executor seam, a local impl, and the model-facing tool | Product — stable surface |
fs/ |
Filesystem capability family: the abstract seam, a local impl, and the model-facing file tools | Product — stable surface |
compact/ |
Compaction capability family: the abstract seam + a basic backend (tool deferred) | Product — stable surface |
subagent/ |
Subagent capability family: the provider-registry seam and the model-facing delegation tool | Product — stable surface |
workflow/ |
Workflow capability family: the script-engine seam, the node:vm engine, and the model-facing workflow tool |
Product — stable surface |
web/ |
Web capability family: the abstract seam, search/fetch provider impls, and the model-facing web tools | Product — stable surface |
todo/ |
Todo/planning family: the model-facing todo_write tool (whole-list task tracking on the session log) |
Product — stable surface |
hooks/ |
Hook bridges + the shared Claude Code / Codex wire-protocol library | Product — stable surface |
session-persistence/ |
Persistence capability family: the seam + JSONL/SQLite backends | Product — stable surface |
ui/ |
Editor/client integration surfaces (the ACP bridge) + the app packages | Product — stable surface |
support/ |
Dev/test/example infrastructure (invariants, replay adapter, subagent mock) | Support — lower compatibility expectations |
util/ |
Low-level zero-dependency utilities shared across groups (the Branded<B> primitive) |
Support — small, stable, harness-dep-free |
The split is the point: a package's group says whether it is part of the product API or support/test/example infrastructure, so release and removal decisions do not treat every package as an equal public contract. New packages join an existing group; adding a new top-level group is a deliberate act (extend the group READMEs and this table).
Dependencies
The inter-package dependency graph is generated: docs/module-graph.md (pnpm run gen-module-graph, freshness-gated in CI).
The rule it must obey: extension 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. The sanctioned exception is a composition/bundle package like dsh-agent-core, whose whole job is to assemble the concrete spine: it depends on dsh-agent-loop (and the other concrete spine plugins) on purpose. The rule constrains plugins that EXTEND the system, not the bundle that COMPOSES it — swapping the loop means shipping a different bundle, not rewiring every extension. A swappable capability splits into interface / implementation / consumer packages (the bash trio is the template — see capability seams).
Each package has its own README.md with purpose, service API, events, extension points, and deliberate non-goals (TODOs).
