Tianyi Cui 7c400e9c02 docs: unify ADR/RFC trees into one lifecycle-organized RFC tree
Collapse docs/adr/ and docs/rfc/ into a single docs/rfc/ with proposed/,
implemented/, and rejected/ subfolders. Every file is renamed to
yyyy-mm-dd-topic-title.md, where the date is when the topic was first
proposed (from git history). ADRs and RFCs that covered exactly the same
topic are merged (property-based testing, session persistence); the
umbrella RFC 005 stays split across its three implemented decisions, and
RFC 006's deferred part-3 (API extractor reports) splits into its own
proposed RFC. All cross-references become machine-checkable relative
links instead of bare "ADR NNNN" / "RFC NNN" prose.

Add a verify-md-links doc-sync gate (scripts/verify-md-links.ts) that
checks every relative Markdown cross-link resolves, wired into doc-sync
alongside verify-md-wrap. This makes the reorganization self-verifying:
the same change that rewrote ~forty inter-doc links adds the check that
proves none dangle. Document the cross-link convention in a new
docs/AGENTS.md and record the gate as an implemented RFC.

doc-sync, typecheck, lint, and the full test suite (667) all pass.

dsh-invariants

Dev-mode event-contract invariants and session-log freeze. A pure-listener plugin (everything is a plugin) that asserts the harness event contract at runtime and, optionally, freezes logged session-event data so any code that mutates history throws instead of corrupting silently.

Off in production. Enable it in tests and the demos, where a contract violation should fail loudly. It costs nothing when not registered, and doubles as executable documentation of the event taxonomy — the assertions are the contract.

Plugin

A functional plugin — register the module namespace (this is what loading by name in cordis.yml does):

import type { Context } from 'cordis'
import * as Invariants from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-invariants'

declare const ctx: Context

await ctx.plugin(Invariants)                     // freeze on (default)
await ctx.plugin(Invariants, { freeze: false })  // assert contract, don't freeze

inject: ['sessions'] — it reads ctx.sessions.list() at apply time to rebuild trace state for sessions that already exist (so a hot reload mid-turn doesn't falsely reject the next event). It listens on session/created, session/event, and agent/status.

Config

Key Default Meaning
freeze true Deep-freeze each logged event's data so mutating a logged event throws. Set false to assert the contract without freezing.

Invariants asserted

Session log (per session):

  • seq strictly increases — the spine of replay equivalence.
  • turns pair and nestturn/start opens a turn, turn/end closes the matching one; no overlapping turns.
  • steps nest in turnsstep/start opens a step in the open turn; step/end closes the matching step.
  • chunks belong to an open stepstep/start precedes its assistant/chunks.
  • a tool/result needs a prior tool/call — but NOT the converse: a tool/call may have no result (a thrown tools/execute waterfall ends the step with no tool/result, which is legal).

Agent status (per agent):

  • legal transitions onlyidle↔running and (idle|running)→disposed. A no-op transition (setStatus dedups, so it never fires) and leaving the terminal disposed state are violations.

On any violation it throws InvariantError (code: 'INVARIANT').

Why runtime, not deep-readonly types

A DeepReadonly<SessionEvent> is high type-noise across every log consumer, and a plugin can cast straight through it. A dev-mode freeze plus these assertions catch real corruption at zero production cost and zero type noise. The always-on half of that defense — cloning derived messages so request/adapter mutation can't reach back into the log — lives in dsh-session's deriveMessages. This package is the dev-mode tripwire. See dev-mode invariants.

Seeded sessions

A seeded/forked session arrives with events already in its log (the Session constructor copies the seed without emitting session/event). On session/created the plugin replays the existing log through the checker and freezes those entries, so seeded history is held to the same contract.
