The terminal and history pagination both treated the model-visible surface as the human transcript. A landed compaction replacement therefore erased the conversation it summarized — messages the reader had already seen — and a model-only replacement copy consumed a page's `maxMessages` quota, which could also split a compaction's provenance from the replacement citing it. `dsh-session` now exports the marker split `isAppendSurfaceEvent` / `isReplacementSurfaceEvent`. The terminal replays append-origin surface events, keeps a shadowed step's tool cards paired through its append-origin assistant message, and renders one dim marker where a compaction landed; the checkpoint is recognized through the compaction seam's `isCompactCheckpointSource` contract, not the shape of the replacement. `session.history` counts only append-origin human messages. Everything model-facing keeps reading `session.surface`.
core/ — product API spine
English | 中文
The session log, system-prompt assembly, tool registry, agent vocabulary, and concrete loop that form the harness's default control spine. These are product packages — the stable surface plugins and consumers build against.
| Package | Role | ctx key |
|---|---|---|
scope/ |
Scoped-context registration primitive (scope tags, scope-filtered dispatch) | (library — no ctx key) |
session/ |
Event-sourced session log + in-memory store | ctx.sessions |
system-prompt/ |
Prompt-section + tool-schema assembly registry | ctx.systemPrompt |
tools/ |
Scoped tool registry + pre-policy, guards, around-dispatch, post-policy, and final-result observation | ctx.tools |
agent/ |
Agent interface, live registry, process-local initiator scope, agent/* event vocabulary |
ctx.agents |
agent-loop/ |
Concrete plugin implementing the public Agent contract and owning the loop driver |
ctx.agentLoop |
scope/ is the one non-service package here: a dependency-free library (createScope/scopeOf/scopeTarget) the registries and the loop build per-agent scoping on — it sits below session/ and system-prompt/ in the module graph precisely so they can consume it without a cycle.
agent-loop is the one concrete implementation of the agent seam and lives here because it is the harness's default product loop. It runs each driver inside ctx.agents.withInitiator(). Extension plugins depend on agent, including when they need the initiating Agent, and never on agent-loop directly, so the loop stays swappable.
The default composition that wires this spine into a runnable agent lives in examples/agent-spine-demo: one bundle plugin that loads the control spine plus selected default capabilities (timer + llm + sessions + fallback session titles + system-prompt + tools + agents + invariants + the local skill family + tool-bash + workspace-context + agent-loop) and forwards agent-loop's agents list as its own config. It sits in examples/ — ready-to-run demo/reference bundles — not in core/: core/ ships the swappable spine pieces, while a demo bundle picks one concrete composition of them and adds a front door.
