Merge brought in the RFC-classification reorg and two new doc gates; rewrite every drifted packages/<name> cross-link (Markdown link targets, moved-README relative depths, and .ts comment paths) to the grouped paths. Add two doc-sync/hygiene gates so the manual checks this restructure needed become automated: - verify-package-paths.ts: flags a packages/<path> reference (in Markdown or a .ts comment/string) that does not resolve AND names a real package in a segment — i.e. a stale path to a MOVED package. A path naming a non-existent package (a forward-looking proposal) is left alone, so it applies uniformly across proposed/implemented/rejected. - check-workspace-constraints: assert the packages/<group>/<pkg> depth-2 shape (group dirs carry no package.json; no flat or over-nested packages). Group names stay open; only the shape is fixed.

# @deepseek-ai/dsh-ui-stdio
|
|
|
|
A minimal stdio (readline) UI, as a plugin. It reads lines from stdin and feeds them to an agent (`send` when idle, `steer` while a turn is running), and renders that agent's streamed output and tool activity to stdout. A UI is "just a plugin" here — it only consumes the `agent/*` event taxonomy plus the `agents` service (`inject: ['agents']`), so the same plugin drives any example or product surface.
|
|
|
|
This package consolidates what were two near-identical copies under `examples/echo-agent` and `examples/coding-agent`. The coding copy was a superset; this package IS that superset — dimmed chain-of-thought rendering plus robust piped-stdin EOF handling — with the per-consumer differences moved into `Config`.
|

|
## Config
|
|
|
|
| Key | Type | Default | Notes |
|
|
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
| `welcome` | string | `'ready.'` | Banner printed once on start, before the first `> ` prompt. |
|
|
| `agent` | string | `'main'` | Id of the agent that stdin **drives** (`send`/`steer`) and whose `agent/status` gates the EOF exit. Rendering is **not** scoped by it — see below. |
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
- id: ui-stdio
|
|
name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-ui-stdio'
|
|
config:
|
|
welcome: 'coding-agent ready. Give it a coding task.'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Rendering
|
|
|
|
Rendering is **global** — every agent's events are written to stdout, not just `config.agent`'s. `config.agent` scopes only *input* (which agent stdin drives) and the EOF-exit gate; the single-agent demos this serves have just one agent, so the distinction is moot for them. (A multi-agent UI that needs per-agent panes would filter these handlers by the agent argument — deliberately out of scope here.)
|
|
|
|
- `agent/stream-chunk` — `text-delta` is written verbatim; `reasoning-delta` is wrapped in the dim SGR (`\x1B[2m … \x1B[0m`) so the chain-of-thought is visually subordinate to the answer. Reasoning rendering is inert when no `reasoning-delta` chunks arrive (e.g. a mock model), so it is always on.
|
|
- `agent/turn-start` / `agent/turn-end` — a `[<agent> turn N]` header and a trailing `> ` prompt.
|
|
- `session/event` — `tool/call` renders `[tool call] name(args)`; `tool/result` renders the joined text blocks as `[tool result] …`.
|
|
|
|
## The I/O seam
|
|
|
|
The production entry point `apply(ctx, config)` binds the real `process` streams. The testable core is `createStdioChat(ctx, config, runtime)`, where `runtime: StdioRuntime` supplies `input` / `output` / `exit`. This seam is deliberately **not** part of the serializable `Config` (streams and functions do not belong in YAML config); it exists so the render, EOF, and disposal branches can be exercised with fakes instead of hijacking globals.
|
|
|
|
## Piped-stdin exit
|
|
|
|
On stdin EOF the plugin exits the process, but carefully:
|
|
|
|
- **No work submitted** (empty stdin, blank-only lines): exit immediately — no turn will ever start, so there is nothing to wait for. Gating on an observed `running` here would hang forever.
|
|
- **Work submitted**: exit the next time the agent settles to `idle` *after* having been observed `running`. `agent.send()` does not synchronously flip status to `running`, so requiring an observed `running` first (`sawRunning`) avoids exiting in the gap before the turn starts and dropping work; and the loop batches several queued messages into one turn, so the exit keys off the idle transition rather than counting sends.
|
|
|
|
Disposal (HMR or fiber teardown) closes the readline interface, which also fires `close` — a `disposed` guard ensures teardown never calls `process.exit`.
|
|
|
|
## Plugin export shape
|
|
|
|
Named `name` / `inject` / `Config` / `apply`, with **no default export**: the cordis Loader's `unwrapExports` does `exports.default ?? exports`, so a stray default would collapse the module to the bare function and drop the `inject` namespace (see [docs/postmortem/0001](../../../docs/postmortem/0001-acp-default-export-drops-inject.md)). The keyless Loader-path e2e smokes in `examples/{echo,coding}-agent` guard this end-to-end.
