 The distinctive requirement — the one that shapes the whole design — is that **multiple subagent implementations must coexist at runtime**. A parent may want a cheap in-process child for a scoped subtask AND an isolated out-of-process child (over ACP) in the same session. The transports we foresee:
 
-- **in-process** — a child `ReactLoopAgent` on the same `Context` (the cheapest, and nearly free given the existing agent factory);
+- **in-process** — a child concrete `Agent` on the same `Context` (the cheapest, and nearly free given the existing agent factory);
 - **ACP** — act as an ACP *client* driving another agent process (which can be another instance of ourselves);
 - later: **A2A**, the **Codex app-server**, and the **Claude Code Agent SDK** — each the same out-of-process "start a child, prompt it, stream updates, cancel" shape as the ACP backend.

 Each agent and its session share one caller-chosen `SessionId`, assumed globally unique; accidental UUID collisions are outside the supported model. Two concurrent operations with the same id may both prepare, but the final `enter()` calls arbitrate publication and every loser rolls its private resources back. Each detach is bound to the exact entered object, so a stale disposer cannot remove a later same-id replacement. A detach requested during a synchronous creation notification waits for that dispatch to unwind, preserving created/disposed pairing. Teardown runs stop and drain (including outstanding idle-injection flushes) → detach agent → detach session → unwind scope; the id becomes reusable at detach even if private scope cleanup is still finishing. Ordinary non-vetoing `agent/*` notifications go through `agentEvents(ctx, agent)`, per-step assembly goes through `assembleContextFor(agent)`, and turn-end durability checkpoints go through `ctx.sessions.flush(session)`.

 Agents listed in config are auto-created at startup. `cwd` applies only to fresh config-created sessions; `resumeSessionId` keeps the persisted session header. Config agents have no per-agent persona field: they use `dsh-system-prompt`'s deployment default, while programmatic factory callers can register an agent-scoped `deployment:persona` shadow in `setup`. The plugin registers the built-in `model`/`cwd` prompt variables on `ctx.systemPrompt`, resolved per step from `assembleContextFor(agent)` — the helper couples the typed agent with its matching scope selector. These are runtime facts of the agents THIS loop drives, unlike the `harness:identity` and default `deployment:persona` sections, which live on `dsh-system-prompt` so they survive a swapped loop plugin.

-The **Agent Client Protocol (ACP)** bridge: exposes DeepSeek Harness SDK agents as an ACP server over JSON-RPC stdio, so editors (Zed and other ACP clients) can drive them — streaming render, tool-call display, and resumable sessions. Zed is the current target client: baseline ACP behavior should remain reasonable for other clients, but bridge capabilities and compatibility decisions are evaluated against Zed first. **N concurrent sessions per connection** (see [ACP multi-session](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/feature/2026-06-14-acp-multi-session.md)): each maps to its own `ReactLoopAgent`, and every event is demuxed strictly by session id so two sessions streaming at once never interleave.

 It is a **client-driver / UI plugin**, the structured analogue of the readline `stdio-chat` plugin — NOT a loop change and NOT a [capability seam](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-13-capability-seams.md). It consumes the existing `agent/*` event taxonomy, the `dsh-agent` create/resume factory, and `dsh-session-persistence`.
