util/ — low-level shared utilities
Zero-dependency primitives shared across the other groups. A package lands here when it owns a tiny, foundational type or helper that several capability families need but that belongs to none of them — keeping it out of any one group avoids a capability package depending on an unrelated one just to reach a shared primitive. These are support packages: small, stable, and free of harness dependencies.
| Package | Role |
|---|---|
brand/ |
The type-only Branded<B> nominal-typing primitive (no runtime code, no harness deps) |
paths/ |
Shared filesystem path constants and helpers for harness user data |
dsh-brand is the canonical case: it owns ONLY the Branded<B> helper, so a capability package can brand the ids it owns (dsh-bash's BashTaskId/OwnerToken, dsh-session's SessionId, …) by depending on dsh-brand alone, without pulling in an unrelated package just to reach Branded.
