Four values complete the vocabulary, so the opaque body is reached only by producers that genuinely promise no shape. `snapshot` — current state a later snapshot supersedes. system-prompt now exposes `renderContextSections()`, the named contributions `renderContextSnapshot()` already joins for the model, so the body attributes each part to the subsystem that produced it instead of re-splitting joined prose. The runtime snapshot, time-context, and tmux-context declare it. `notice` — a one-off account of what just happened, declared by tool-tasks, goal state changes, tool-goal wrap-up, plan-mode switches, and repeat-tool-guard. Its `summary` rides the COLLAPSED row: these five are the majority of shipped producers and none of them needs expanding to be read. The task summary bounds itself because its inputs are unbounded caller text. `relay` — a message another agent addressed to this one; both subagent sources declare it and the body names the sender above what it said. `recall` — material lifted from another session's log. session-reference needed no new field: its references already record retained and omitted counts and the truncation flag, which the body shows first, because recalled context is bounded on the way in. `ContextFormed` is now discriminated by `form`, so a producer cannot declare a shape without the facts that shape is presented from — a notice without its summary, or a snapshot without its sections, fails to compile. Only the two hook bridges stay opaque, by design: their content is whatever an external program printed, so no shape can be promised for it. Unknown kinds and unreadable records land there too.
acp-agent example
English | 中文
Automation-oriented Agent Client Protocol server over JSON-RPC stdio. It is intended for parent agents, subagent providers, and other programmatic clients, not as the product UI.
pnpm run demo:acp # needs DEEPSEEK_API_KEY (repo-root .env or env)
pnpm run demo:code-mode # same protocol with the Code Mode tool transport
The leaf loads the ACP app, DeepSeek adapter, sandboxed bash and filesystem stacks, one-shot approval policy, compaction, subagents, workflows, hooks, a derived session-query index, and repeat guard. The app creates one fresh agent per session/new, persists sessions to JSONL, and keeps stdout protocol-pure. session-query.cordis.yml explicitly opts into the workspace-authorized query tools and generic timeout/spill policies for their dedicated snapshot; fs.cordis.yml adds spill storage for filesystem scenarios, code-mode.cordis.yml adds run_code and its generated TypeScript SDK, and web.cordis.yml adds the web seam, the local fetch provider, web_fetch, and a loopback HTML fixture server for the web-fetch snapshot.
Protocol channel
Stdout carries only newline-delimited ACP JSON-RPC. @deepseek-ai/dsh-acp-demo installs no stdout logger; leaf additions must use stderr for diagnostics.
The automation contract — supported methods, baseline prompt content, committed-text output, and the intentionally absent UI surfaces — lives in @deepseek-ai/dsh-acp.
Session workspaces and permissions
Each session/new supplies an absolute cwd. Sandboxed bash and filesystem mutations resolve workspace-write against that session cwd, so concurrent sessions can use separate project roots; platform temporary roots remain shared writable scratch space (sandbox contract). DSH_PERMISSION_MODE selects workspace-write or danger-full-access for deployment and tests.
Under workspace-write, a model retry requesting wider sandbox access triggers session/request_permission with allow_once and reject_once. The client decides programmatically; dismissal or an unavailable answer fails closed. The selected outcome applies only to that retry and is recorded through the normal tool-result/audit path. The server never exposes a permission picker or persists client policy.
Snapshot tests
This example owns the ACP snapshot suite. It boots the real automation server, replays committed model streams through dsh-llm-replay, and compares both normalized protocol output and re-persisted session logs. Recording uses the real model; refresh reuses committed replay input. Overrides cover throw/hang behavior, and optional workspace/ fixtures seed world-state checks.
Most scenarios pin backend behavior rather than ACP-specific behavior; the automation-only ACP decision owns why that coverage remains transport-coupled.
