Every session event now lives inside a turn (between turn/start and its turn/end). The loop records queued user/message events AFTER turn/start; an idle agent.inject() wraps its context/message in a one-shot injection turn. This makes the turn the single durability/replay boundary so a persistence backend can treat anything after the last turn/end as a crash tail without dropping legitimate between-turn context. A failure once the turn is already closed (rejecting session/flush, a throwing agent/turn-end listener) has no in-turn position for a session error event, so it is reported via agent/error + logger only; the turn stays balanced. failTurn appends an error event only while the turn is open. The dsh-invariants plugin enforces turn-enclosure via a default case: every non-boundary event type — including plugin-added merge-extensible keys — must sit inside an open turn or it throws. Documented in ADR 0017 + architecture.md.

# dsh-agent-loop
|
|
|
|
THE concrete agent plugin: `LoopAgent` and the loop driver. Implements the `Agent` interface and drives the session/turn/step lifecycle.
|
|
|
|
This is the only package in the harness that contains concrete loop logic. Everything else is an abstract service or a plugin against extension seams — new behavior goes into plugins, not here.
|
|
|
|
## Service: `AgentLoop` (ctx key: `agentLoop`)
|
|
|
|
### Public API
|
|
|
|
- `ctx.agentLoop.create(id: string, options?: AgentOptions): LoopAgent` Create an agent, start its loop, and register it in `ctx.agents`. Disposed with the calling fiber.
|
|
|
|
### Injected services
|
|
|
|
`agents`, `sessions`, `llm`, `tools`, `systemPrompt` — all five interface services.
|
|
|
|
### Configuration (schemastery)
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
interface Config {
|
|
agents: Array<{
|
|
id: string // required
|
|
model?: string
|
|
systemPrompt?: string
|
|
}>
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Agents listed in config are auto-created at startup.
|
|
|
|
### Classes
|
|
|
|
- `LoopAgent` — the concrete `Agent` implementation. Owns the inbox (`Inbox`), the per-step `AbortController`, and the loop driver. Everything observable happens through session events and the `agent/*` event taxonomy.
|
|
- `Inbox` — per-agent queued + steering FIFOs (`enqueue`, `steer`, `drainQueued`, `drainSteering`, `waitForQueued`).
|
|
|
|
### Loop lifecycle (`loop.ts`)
|
|
|
|
One invocation of `runLoop()` drives one agent for its whole lifetime:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
forever:
|
|
wait for queued messages (idle)
|
|
TURN (error-contained):
|
|
drain queued → 'turn/start' → session('user/message')
|
|
STEP loop:
|
|
drain steering
|
|
assembly = systemPrompt.assemble()
|
|
request = waterfall agent/request
|
|
stream llm.stream(request) → session('assistant/chunk')
|
|
message = waterfall agent/step-result
|
|
session('assistant/message')
|
|
each tool-call: session('tool/call') → tools.execute() → session('tool/result')
|
|
drain steering → session('steering/message')
|
|
cont = waterfall agent/turn-continuation
|
|
if !cont: break
|
|
session('turn/end')
|
|
await session/flush
|
|
re-enqueue leftover steering as queued
|
|
idle unless more queued
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Error containment: a throwing plugin ends the **turn**, never the loop. Dispose mid-turn emits `agent/status('disposed')` and ends with reason `disposed`.
|
|
|
|
### What is NOT here
|
|
|
|
Everything that goes beyond "call the model, run the tools, repeat" belongs to plugins listening on the event taxonomy:
|
|
- Hooks: `agent/request`, `agent/step-result`, `tools/execute`, `agent/turn-continuation`
|
|
- Compaction: `agent/request`
|
|
- Sandbox, permission, plan mode: `tools/execute`
|
|
- Sub-agents: TODO seam on `AgentLoop.create()`
|
|
- Persistence: `session/event` + `session/flush`
|
|
- UI: `agent/stream-chunk` + `agent/*` events
