Rename the concrete Agent class to make its ReAct-style reasoning loop explicit in the name. Package name, default-export plugin (`AgentLoop`), and the `ctx.agentLoop` service key are unchanged.

# dsh-agent-loop
|

|
|
THE concrete agent plugin: `ReactLoopAgent` 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): ReactLoopAgent` — config-driven create: an agent on a fresh per-run session id `${id}-session-<uuid>` (no cwd). Used for `cordis.yml`-configured agents. The per-run uuid avoids colliding with the on-disk log a prior run materialized once a durable persistence backend is loaded; each run is a new session (a deliberate demo simplification — a real resume-or-create policy is a TODO). Disposed with the calling fiber.
|
|
|
|
`AgentLoop` also implements the `AgentFactory` seam and registers itself via `ctx.agents.setFactory(this)`, so plugins create/resume agents through `ctx.agents` (the interface):
|
|
|
|
- `ctx.agents.create({ agentId, sessionId, meta?, agentOptions? })` — programmatic create on a caller-supplied `sessionId` (e.g. an ACP-generated id), NOT `${id}-session`.
|
|
- `ctx.agents.resume({ agentId, resumeSessionId, agentOptions? })` — load a persisted session via `ctx.sessionPersistence` ([session persistence](../../docs/rfc/implemented/2026-06-14-session-persistence.md)) and resume an agent on it. The live session id is the resumed id; turn numbering and derived history continue from the loaded log. Requires a session-persistence backend (NOT hard-injected — non-persistent demos still work; `resume` rejects with a clear error when persistence is absent).
|
|
|
|
### 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
|
|
|
|
- `ReactLoopAgent` — 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`. A step that hits the model's output-token ceiling makes the turn end `max-tokens` (the rule: any `max-tokens` step in the turn surfaces as `max-tokens`; `disposed`/`aborted`/`error` still take precedence) — distinct from a clean `completed` stop.
|
|
|
|
### 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
