Tianyi Cui e2bde2902c refactor(examples): extract the app spine into dsh-agent-core + app packages
Implements docs/rfc/.../2026-06-20-extract-example-app-packages.md. Each
example was thick — a hand-rolled start.ts, an infra preamble, nested
base.yml/base-core.yml/acp-tail.yml includes, and a coupled front-door
cluster enforced only by prose. This moves the composition into packages so
each example is a thin leaf cordis.yml: pick the swappable backends, load one
app package.

New packages:
  - @deepseek-ai/dsh-agent-core (packages/core/agent-core): one bundle plugin
    that loads the providerless/executor-less/UI-less spine (timer + llm +
    sessions + system-prompt + tools + agents + invariants + tool-bash +
    agent-loop) via ctx.plugin(...) inside apply(), and forwards agent-loop's
    `agents` list as its own Config (export const Config = AgentLoop.Config,
    default []).
  - @deepseek-ai/dsh-stdio-agent (packages/ui/stdio-agent): terminal chat APP —
    agent-core + console logger + readline UI + a pre-created `main` agent, with
    a bin. The demo:echo/coding front door.
  - @deepseek-ai/dsh-acp-agent (packages/ui/acp-agent): ACP server APP —
    agent-core + JSONL persistence + the acp bridge, NO stdout logger, with a
    bin. The stdout-purity footgun is structurally unreachable from the leaf.

Amendment to the RFC: hmr stays a LEAF cordis.yml entry, not baked into
dsh-stdio-agent. hmr is a Loader-only dev plugin (throws without
--expose-internals; the in-process test tier can't even import its decorator
form), so a package statically importing it could never carry the per-file
coverage gate. Unlike the console logger, a stray hmr is not a stdout-purity
footgun, so leaving it at the leaf costs no safety. With hmr out, all three new
packages carry in-process unit specs at 100%.

Boot glue (Loader tail, .env load, snapshot-mode selection, stdin-dispose
lifecycle) moves into each app's bin; start.ts and base.yml/base-core.yml/
acp-tail.yml are deleted. Each app package gets a keyless real-load-path test
that boots through its bin + the cordis Loader (guarding the unwrapExports
export-shape bug class, postmortem 0001). ACP snapshot replay stays green
against the existing committed goldens (pure boot restructuring). RFC moved
proposed->implemented with the amendment recorded; package/example/architecture
docs and the module graph updated.

coding-agent

The first REAL agent wiring: DeepSeek V4 + the bash tool suite + stdio chat

  • JSONL persistence, loaded from cordis.yml. Where echo-agent proves the skeleton with mocks, this example is a usable coding assistant.

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:coding

Type a coding task. The agent's only tools are bash (+ bash_output / bash_kill for background tasks): file reads, writes, searches, and test runs all happen through shell commands, each in a fresh bash -c (the system prompt tells the model to pass workdir instead of cd). Reasoning streams dimmed; tool calls/results render inline.

> fix the failing test in /path/to/project
[main turn 1] (reasoning…)
  [tool call] bash({"command": "node --test", "workdir": "/path/to/project"})
  [tool result] … [exit code: 1]
  …

Resuming a prior session

Each run starts a fresh session by default (its event log lands under ./.sessions/). To continue a previous conversation, set RESUME_SESSION_ID to that session's id — the main agent then rehydrates the persisted log instead of starting fresh, so the model sees the earlier turns as history:

RESUME_SESSION_ID=<prior-session-id> pnpm run demo:coding

The id is wired through cordis.yml (resumeSessionId: !!js process.env.RESUME_SESSION_ID); unset, the agent starts a new session. A missing/unreadable id is non-fatal — it logs a warning and starts no main agent.

What each plugin demonstrates

Entry Demonstrates
llm-deepseek real LlmAdapter via config (!!js process.env.… secrets); swap one line to @deepseek-ai/dsh-llm-pi-ai for the library-backed twin
bash (dsh-bash-local) + tool-bash the executor seam + tool schemas as separate plugins
agent-loop agent created from config with a coding system prompt
session-persistence (dsh-session-persistence-jsonl) durable JSONL persistence (root: ./.sessions): append-only event log per session, crash-safe atomic writes — the shared backend, no per-example file
src/stdio-chat.ts UI as a plugin; copied from echo-agent with reasoning-dimming and an exit-on-idle close handler for piped stdin. Example-local on purpose — extract a shared UI package when a third example needs it

End-to-end tests (pnpm run test:e2e, key-gated)

  • tests/full-loop.e2e.ts — the canary: real model runs echo e2e-ok through the real bash tool; asserts tool/call/tool/result session events and the final answer.
  • tests/coding-task.e2e.ts — the swebench-style smoke: a temp dir holds add.js (with a - b where a + b belongs) and a failing add.test.js; the agent must fix the bug and verify. The test re-runs node add.test.js ITSELF and inspects the files — agent claims are not trusted.
  • tests/resume.e2e.ts — durable continuity across processes: run 1 tells the real model a secret code and persists the turn to a temp JSONL root, then the whole context is disposed; run 2 is a fresh context over the same root that RESUMES the session id and asks the model to recall the code. The recall can only come from the rehydrated log.

Both self-skip without DEEPSEEK_API_KEY.
