Codex code-review round 5: agent()/parallel()/pipeline() returned HOST Promise
objects into the script realm — Object.getPrototypeOf(agent('x')) reached host
Promise.prototype, contradicting the realm contract (correctness containment,
not the accepted sandbox stance). The rejection channel had the same leak one
hop away: a caught hook failure was a host WorkflowError (host Error.prototype
chain), and phase()/log() threw host errors synchronously.
All three surfaces are realm-built now:
- hook promises: the realm's own Promise.resolve (bound at context setup)
assimilates the host promise, so the script-visible promise carries realm
prototypes; the realm promise gets the same no-op rejection consumer as the
host one (a script may drop it).
- hook failures: rejections and phase/log sync throws are translated at the
boundary into realm-built clones (name/code/message/fatal via an in-realm
factory); non-WorkflowError host failures become generic realm Errors
carrying their describeThrown rendering.
- the combinators recognize FATAL clones structurally
(isFatalWorkflowErrorClone: proxy-guarded descriptor reads), preserving the
fatal-vs-null discipline across the boundary; a script forging the shape
kills only its own run. drive() maps any post-cancel failure to 'cancelled'
by run state (a CANCELLED clone deliberately fails the host instanceof).
Tests: realm-promise identity for all three hooks + host Promise.prototype
pollution unreachable; clone shape (instanceof realm Error, name/code/fatal/
message) with prototype-chain mutation staying realm-side; a rejecting
provider result crossing as a generic clone; phase/log sync-throw clones;
combinator catch branches (string throw, proxy throw, shape-miss forgery →
null; forged fatal → kills own run); existing fatal-propagation, cancellation,
and unhandled-rejection tests as canaries.
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).
