Establishes the standard way to give a snapshot scenario a non-empty starting
workspace: an optional `<scenario>/workspace/` directory whose contents the
harness copies into the temp cwd before the run (for both record and replay),
so the agent's bash tools see the seeded files. The cwd is normalized in the
goldens, so seeded paths stay stable.
The new `workspace-edit` scenario demonstrates the full read→write→verify cycle
on a seeded file: it ships `workspace/greeting.txt` ("hello"), prompts the agent
to append a WORLD line and cat it back. The recorded log captures the real bash
edits (`echo WORLD >> greeting.txt`, then `cat` showing `hello\nWORLD`), and it
replays deterministically with no key.
Also hardens runScenario teardown (Codex review): workspace seeding and spawn
now run inside the try whose finally removes both temp dirs, so a seeding/spawn
failure can't leak them. Documents the convention in the RFC + example README.
Examples
Runnable demos (not workspaces) that showcase how the harness is wired.
echo-agent
A mock model + echo tool + stdio UI + JSONL persistence demo. Demonstrates:
- Loading plugins from a
cordis.ymlvia@cordisjs/plugin-loader+@cordisjs/plugin-include - Registering a mock
LlmAdapter(streaming scripted responses) - Registering a tool via
ctx.tools.register() - Persisting session events to JSONL via the
session/event+session/flushpattern - A minimal stdio UI consuming
agent/stream-chunkand session events
Run with: pnpm run demo:echo
When prompted, type "echo " to trigger a tool call round-trip.
coding-agent
The real thing: DeepSeek V4 + the bash tool suite + stdio chat + JSONL persistence, wired from cordis.yml. Where echo-agent proves the skeleton with mocks, this is a usable coding assistant.
Run with: pnpm run demo:coding (needs DEEPSEEK_API_KEY in the environment or a gitignored repo-root .env). See coding-agent/README.md for details.
