feat(tasks): background task runtime, generic task_* control tools, bash/subagent producers
One shared ctx.tasks registry (branded <kind>-N ids, owner-fenced read/kill/wait/list, attachSurface misconfiguration fence, reported-flag notice dedup, atomic register) + dsh-tool-tasks (task_output/task_list/ task_kill, completion-notice injection, background prompt habit). Producers opt in via their own enableRunInBackground config: bash (stream kind; seam slimmed to resolve/run/start returning a BashProcess handle, bash_output/bash_kill deleted) and subagent (final-output kind; done settles after run.dispose()). Owner disposal drains tasks through the new awaited ctx.agents.onCleanup seam in the loop's disposal chain. Both RFCs moved to implemented/; docs, catalogs, snapshots re-pinned.

# Bash Executor

|
||||
The bash execution seam — the canonical [capability seam](../rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-13-capability-seams.md) example, split across three packages: interface ([dsh-bash](../../packages/bash/bash), `ctx.bash`), implementation ([dsh-bash-local](../../packages/bash/bash-local), local subprocesses), and consumer ([dsh-tool-bash](../../packages/bash/tool-bash), the `bash`/`bash_output`/`bash_kill` tool schemas). Bash is **one optional capability**, not part of the agent-loop spine — so its vocabulary lives here, not in [core.md](core.md). A sandboxed, containerized, or remote backend is a sibling package implementing the same interface.

|
||||
|
||||
The `owner` token is the isolation key: the executor stores it but never interprets it (access policy is the consumer's job), so a background task started by one agent isn't readable cross-session. A required-but-nullable field makes a forgotten owner a visible `undefined` rather than a silently-unowned task.
|
||||
The seam is deliberately **task-free**: no task ids, no owner tokens, no polling protocol. Background-task semantics (ids, cross-session isolation, collect/stop tools, completion notices) live in the generic `ctx.tasks` runtime ([dsh-tasks](../../packages/tasks/tasks)); the tool layer adapts a `BashProcess` handle into a task registration, so a sandboxed or remote executor inherits no session or registry dependency.
|
||||
|
||||
`stdin` and `env` are set by in-process plugins (the hooks bridges, native plugins) to feed a hook command its JSON payload on stdin and its `CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR`/`CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT` env. The model-facing `dsh-tool-bash` tool does not expose them as parameters — its request is built from `command`/`workdir`/`timeoutMs`/`signal`/`owner` only — because a model already has equivalent power through shell syntax (`FOO=bar cmd`, a heredoc), so duplicating them as tool params would be redundant. This is NOT a security boundary: the credential scrub in `dsh-bash-local` is what stops the harness's ambient secrets reaching a spawned command, and it works regardless of these fields (a model cannot read a value the scrub removed, and tool-call args are static JSON, never shell-evaluated). A guard test asserts the tool doesn't forward model `env`/`stdin` — to catch a future `...args` spread, not to defend a trust wall. `env` is merged AFTER the scrub so an explicit caller entry (a value it already holds) wins even on a credential-shaped name. See [the bash-stdin-env RFC](../rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-30-bash-stdin-env-trusted-plugin-surface.md).
|
||||
|
||||
Both ids the seam handles are [branded](core.md) (zero-cost `string` brands, the same machinery as `SessionId`/`AgentId`): `BashTaskId` (a tracked background task, generated `bash-N` by the local executor) and `OwnerToken` (the opaque isolation key). `OwnerToken` is deliberately a DISTINCT brand from `SessionId`, not an alias: the bash seam is a capability seam that must not know what an owner token *means*, so it never imports `dsh-session`'s vocabulary — the `dsh-tool-bash` consumer is the single boundary that casts the owning agent's `SessionId` into an `OwnerToken`. Branding both stops a raw `string` (or a `BashTaskId` where an `OwnerToken` is expected, or vice versa) from slipping through the type checker on the model-facing `task_id` path.
