Hypatia May b341155652 feat(session): project the inherited-history boundary into the log
A plugin owning a standalone open/close bracket cannot tell a dead marker
from a live one: an unmatched `compact/start` reads identically whether the
previous writer died mid-compaction or a compaction is running now.
`Session.firstLiveSeq` already holds that answer exactly, but only in memory.

Append the log-only `session/inherited` event at that seq from the seeded
constructor — the single waist all six seeded-start paths pass through
(resume, configured startup on a persisted id, `sessions.fork()`, a subagent
fork child, `adopt()`'s live prefix, and a bare seeded `create`). Read it
through the new `isInheritedSeq(events, seq)`.

The constructor placement means persistence needs no changes: the marker is
already in `events` when a backend captures the creation seed, so it rides
the ordinary seed path with no load-time write. It also covers fork, where
the inherited bracket's owner may still be running — the case a
persistence-layer boundary could not reach.

Activity ordering excludes the boundary through `lastActivityTime()`, since
lazy resume makes browsing a pickup and the three call sites would otherwise
float every opened session to the top of a picker or list.

headless-agent

English | 中文

Headless one-shot agent wiring: DeepSeek V4 + local bash and filesystem tools + subagent delegation + workflows and fresh-agent Ralph iteration + todo_write + JSONL persistence, with @deepseek-ai/dsh-cli-demo as the app front door.

Run it

# repo root .env (gitignored) or exported env:
#   DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-…
#   DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL=https://…   # optional; defaults to the public API
pnpm run demo:headless "fix the failing test in this workspace"
pnpm run demo:headless --output-format json -- "summarize the implementation"
pnpm run demo:headless --output-format stream-json -- "run the focused tests"

Exactly one nonblank positional task is required; quote tasks containing spaces. There is no -p flag. text prints the last text-bearing assistant message, json prints one DSH-native result record, and stream-json emits the top-level session's canonical task-turn events before that record. Child sessions surface only through parent tool events and results.

Each invocation creates and persists a fresh session, runs all model and tool steps in one turn, flushes, disposes, and exits. This is non-interactive automation: there is no prompt, approval, resume, second turn, or stdin context. The configured tools can mutate the launch workspace, run commands, spawn child agents, and consume provider tokens.

Advanced and snapshot wiring

advanced.cordis.yml adds Code Mode and the Cordis tools to the shipped leaf. advanced.cordis.snapshot.yml replaces only the live LLM with replay. The tests under tests/ own the keyless real-Loader smoke, key-gated world-verified smoke, and the stream-json replay snapshot with its parent and child session fixtures.

The package-level CLI contract documents output records, exit status, cancellation, persistence, and model/token effects.
