Three packages following the new capability-seam pattern (interface / implementation / consumer, now documented in docs/architecture.md): - dsh-bash: abstract BashExecutor service (ctx.bash) + vocabulary types. - dsh-bash-local: local subprocesses — bash -c per call in a detached process group, SIGTERM→SIGKILL group kills, tail-keep truncation with full-stream spill files, model-friendly env, background task registry. - dsh-tool-bash: the bash / bash_output / bash_kill tool schemas with runtime arg validation and background completion notices via agent.inject(). Non-zero exits are reported, not errored. Design surveyed against the bash tools of Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, and pi (notes in the package READMEs). Permissions/sandbox stay TODO on the tools/execute waterfall seam; stateful-shell alternatives recorded in run.ts.
@deepseek-ai/dsh-bash-local
Local-subprocess implementation of the @deepseek-ai/dsh-bash executor seam:
LocalBashExecutor spawns bash -c <command> per call in its own process
group, collects bounded output with full-stream spill files, and escalates
kills SIGTERM→SIGKILL across the whole group.
Config
- id: bash
name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-bash-local'
config:
cwd: /path/to/workspace # default: process.cwd()
timeoutMs: 120000 # default foreground timeout
maxTimeoutMs: 600000 # cap for per-call overrides
maxOutputBytes: 64000 # per-stream in-memory cap; overflow spills to disk
Behavior (and where it came from)
Design surveyed against the bash tools of Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, and pi; the notable choices:
- Spawn per call, no shell state — every call is a fresh non-login
bash -c(deterministic; no rc files). All four surveyed tools spawn per call.TODO(stateful-shell)insrc/run.tsrecords the two proven stateful designs (Claude Code's cwd-only persistence; Codex's PTY exec sessions) for when real workflows demand them. - Process-group kills with escalation — children are spawned
detached(own process group); kills send SIGTERM to the group, then SIGKILL after a 3s grace (OpenCode's escalation; pipelines and subshells die with the parent). ESRCH is tolerated; daemons that re-parent away from the group can still survive — same caveat as the surveyed tools. - Tail-keep truncation + spill files — output beyond
maxOutputByteskeeps the in-memory TAIL (errors/results cluster at the end — pi/OpenCode rationale) while the FULL stream is appended to a temp file whose path is reported. The model cangrep/tailthe spill file with bash itself. - Model-friendly env —
NO_COLOR=1 TERM=dumb PAGER=cat GIT_PAGER=cat(Codex's hardcoded set) so pagers and ANSI color don't garble results. - Background tasks —
start()returns immediately, no timeout applies (Claude Code detaches timeouts when backgrounding),readOutput()is incremental with whole-stream byte offsets, and disposal kills everything.
Sandboxing
TODO(permissions/sandbox): execution policy does NOT belong in this
package. Wrap the tools/execute waterfall (veto/ask) or implement a
sandboxing BashExecutor — see docs/architecture.md § plugin checklist.
Reference points: Claude Code wraps commands in sandbox-exec/bubblewrap;
Codex applies seatbelt/landlock plus an execpolicy prefix-rule engine.
