docs(rfc): classify RFCs by kind via path-encoded subdirectories

Browse Source 
Add a second axis to every RFC — its class (feature, bug-fix,
simplification, architecture, process, testing) — encoded in the path
as docs/rfc/{lifecycle}/{class}/file.md. The folder is the label, so
the closed set is enforced by structure rather than a parsed field.

Two new doc-sync gates back it:
- verify-rfc-classification: every RFC sits in a valid class folder and
  the README index lists it under the matching lifecycle→class heading.
- verify-doc-refs: every docs/*.md path cited in a packages|examples TS
  comment resolves — closes a drift class verify-md-links can't see, and
  catches the four comment refs this reorg moved.

The README gains a Classification section explaining the taxonomy and
per-class index sub-sections. A self-referential process RFC records why
the scheme is path-encoded and gated.

# RFC: Doc-sync enforcement
Status: implemented (accepted 2026-06-14)
<!-- XXX: legacy ADR/RFC body format, not yet normalized to a unified RFC template. -->
## Context
AGENTS.md promises that docs and code stay strictly in sync, but the promise was verified by eyeball. Review caught drift twice — a cookbook example contradicting the type policy, and a README citing the wrong `registerAdapter` call. Out-of-sync docs are worse than no docs, and this codebase is built primarily by agents that follow gates far more reliably than prose (mechanical quality gates). Two classes of doc drift are mechanically checkable: code blocks that no longer compile, and the event-taxonomy table that duplicates the `interface Events` declarations.
## Decision
Two gates, mirroring the existing `scripts/` style (tsx ESM, one job each):
1. **`doc-typecheck`** extracts every fenced ` ```ts ` block from `README.md`, `docs/**`, and `packages/*/README.md`, writes them to a temp project, and compiles with `tsc --noEmit`. The temp tsconfig copies only resolution-relevant options and the workspace `paths` map from `tsconfig.typecheck.json` (vendor → built `lib`, harness → `src`) — resolving vendor to `lib` is essential, or tsc type-checks raw vendor source and floods the run. A block that is a deliberate sketch opts out with an explicit ` ```ts ignore-check ` info string; the script reports the opt-out ratio and fails if it exceeds half, so the escape hatch can't quietly become the norm.
2. **`verify-event-taxonomy`** extracts the event names from the `interface Events` blocks across `packages/*/src` and from the taxonomy table in `docs/architecture.md`, and asserts the two sets match exactly. Verify, don't generate: the table keeps its hand-written Mode/Purpose columns; only the set of names is checked. (Landing this surfaced three events the table had been missing — `tools/change`, `llm/adapter-change`, `system-prompt/change`.) **Superseded** by [the generated cordis catalog](2026-06-20-generated-cordis-catalog.md): this gate and its `architecture.md` table are retired in favor of a fully-generated `docs/cordis-catalog/events-and-services.md` and its `verify-cordis-catalog` freshness gate. The other gates here (`doc-typecheck`, and the `verify-md-wrap` amendment below) are unaffected.
Both run via a shared `doc-sync` package.json script that the lefthook pre-push hook and CI both invoke ([mechanical quality gates](2026-06-11-quality-gates.md): hooks and CI call the same scripts, so the gate fires locally before a push — not only after it). They run after `pnpm run typecheck` (which emits the vendor `lib/` that doc-typecheck resolves against). API-extractor golden reports ([the deferred API-extractor-reports proposal](../../proposed/process/2026-06-11-api-extractor-reports.md)) were deliberately **deferred** — low value for an internal monorepo where reviewers already see the source diff, and a heavy, finicky dependency.
**Amendment (2026-06-17):** a third gate, **`verify-md-wrap`**, was later folded into `doc-sync`. It parses each in-scope Markdown file (`README.md`, `docs/**`, `packages/*/README.md`, plus `AGENTS.md` / `packages/AGENTS.md`) with `mdast-util-from-markdown` + GFM and fails on any `paragraph` node spanning more than one source line, enforcing the AGENTS.md "Markdown is not hard-wrapped" convention. Same verify-don't-generate principle: it reports hard-wraps and never rewrites, so it adds no formatting churn. `doc-sync` is now three gates.
## Consequences
- Doc drift in the checkable classes now fails the pre-push hook and CI instead of waiting for a reviewer to notice. This is an instance of the "mechanical gates over prose" principle.
- Making doc snippets compile costs a few stub imports/`declare`s; the `ignore-check` ratio must stay low or the gate is theater (the ratio guard enforces this).
- The taxonomy check is name-only — a wrong Mode or Purpose column still needs human review. Generating the table from source was considered and rejected as more machinery than the problem warrants.
- API reports remain available to revisit if the packages are ever published externally.

# RFC: Mechanical quality gates over prose guidelines
Status: implemented (accepted 2026-06-11)
<!-- XXX: legacy ADR/RFC body format, not yet normalized to a unified RFC template. -->
## Context
This codebase is developed primarily by coding agents. Agents follow enforced gates far more reliably than prose conventions, and "a lot of work" is not a cost argument when agents do the labor. Early evidence: tests that didn't typecheck shipped (vitest doesn't typecheck) and were only caught by a review.
## Decision
Every AGENTS.md promise gets a command that exits non-zero, wired into git hooks and CI both calling the same package.json scripts:
- Max-strict TypeScript (`noUncheckedIndexedAccess`, `exactOptionalPropertyTypes`, …); tests and examples typecheck in CI via `tsconfig.typecheck.json` (vendored packages resolve as built declarations).
- ESLint strict-type-checked + @stylistic (the house style, enforced); vendored code excluded.
- Per-file 100% coverage on `packages/*/src` (v8); unreachable defensive guards carry `/* v8 ignore */ ` with stated reasons instead of deletion.
- knip (dead code/deps), publint (package correctness), workspace constraints (workspace rules: private, cordis peer+dev, uniform version, ESM).
- lefthook pre-commit (lint staged, typecheck, vendor-manifest guard) and pre-push (tests, hygiene); CI runs the full matrix on node 24/26 plus a demo smoke test driving the echo-agent end to end.
## Consequences
- Conventions survive agent turnover; violations fail fast and locally.
- The gates themselves are code to maintain; config changes are reviewed like any change.
- 100%-coverage pressure can produce assertion-free tests — mutation testing is the planned counterweight (see [the mutation-testing proposal](../../proposed/testing/2026-06-11-mutation-testing.md)).

# RFC: tsdown for JS bundling instead of dumble
Status: implemented (accepted 2026-06-11)
<!-- XXX: legacy ADR/RFC body format, not yet normalized to a unified RFC template. -->
## Context
The initial build used **dumble**, the cordiverse zero-config esbuild wrapper that upstream Cordis itself builds with — maximum alignment with the vendored packages' conventions (it reads each package.json and infers entries/formats from the `exports` field). But dumble is a liability as a load-bearing tool in this repo: v0.2.x, ~530 npm downloads/week, effectively one maintainer, and we were invoking it through a custom orchestration script (`scripts/build.ts`) because it has no workspace mode.
Build output currently matters only for `pnpm run build` + publint (nothing publishes yet; dev/test/demo run unbuilt via tsx), so the switching cost is at its lowest now and only grows once packages publish.
## Decision
Replace dumble with **tsdown** (rolldown-based, ~2.5M downloads/week, VoidZero-backed, actively released):
- Root `tsdown.config.ts` with `workspace: ['vendor/*', 'packages/*']` (explicit globs, not `workspace: true`, which would also pick up `examples/*` — they have package.json files but are not pnpm workspaces).
- Shared shape: entry `src/index.ts`, `outDir: 'lib'`, ESM, `platform: node`, `target: es2024`, `fixedExtension: false` (keeps `.js` for `"type": "module"` packages), `dts: false` (tsc -b owns declarations), `clean: false` (lib/ holds tsc's .d.ts output).
- Two per-package overrides in vendor/ (ours, like the regenerated tsconfigs; logged in vendor/README.md): schemastery (dual `.mjs`/`.cjs` via `outExtensions`), logger-console (two single-entry passes so the shared base class is inlined into each entry instead of a hash-named chunk, matching upstream's published shape).
- `scripts/build.ts` deleted; `pnpm run build` = `tsc -b && tsdown`.
Alternatives considered: **direct esbuild script** (most established engine, zero wrapper risk, but hand-maintains the per-package spec table tsdown's workspace mode gives us); **pkgroll** (closest drop-in philosophically, but 78k dl/wk and Rollup-based — strictly weaker maintenance story than tsdown); **keep dumble** (perfect upstream alignment, unacceptable bus factor).
## Consequences
Output file lists are byte-for-byte-list identical to dumble's (verified by snapshot diff at migration time); externals still come from each package's dependencies/peerDependencies. We give up dumble's exports-field inference — new packages with non-default shapes need a per-package `tsdown.config.ts` instead of just package.json fields. Future option: tsdown could also absorb declaration bundling (isolatedDeclarations) if `tsc -b` ever becomes the bottleneck; that would be a new RFC.

# RFC: Vendor Cordis as source, not npm dependencies
Status: implemented (accepted 2026-06-11)
<!-- XXX: legacy ADR/RFC body format, not yet normalized to a unified RFC template. -->
## Context
DeepSeek Code is built on the Cordis framework. Cordis core was at 4.0.0-rc.6 (a release candidate) when this repo started; the harness depends on framework internals (fiber lifecycle, effect disposal, waterfall dispatch) whose exact behavior matters to the agent loop's correctness guarantees.
## Decision
Copy the needed Cordis packages (core, loader, include, group, timer, hmr, logger-console) and the cordiverse foundation libraries (cosmokit, schemastery) into `vendor/` as source, flattened, keeping their original npm names so workspace resolution is transparent. Truly third-party dependencies (js-yaml, chokidar, @standard-schema/spec, …) stay on npm.
`vendor/README.md` is the manifest: upstream repo + commit SHA per package and an exhaustive local-modification log. A pre-commit guard (`scripts/check-vendor-manifest.sh`) rejects vendored-source changes that don't update the manifest in the same commit.
## Consequences
- The harness fully owns its framework layer: auditable, patchable, pinned — an RC upstream can't break us, and we can fix framework bugs in-tree.
- Upstream sync is manual (documented procedure in the manifest). The modification log keeps the diff surface known.
- Vendored packages keep upstream code style; lint/strictness gates exclude them (their tsconfigs relax our newer compiler flags locally).
- One local patch exists from day one: hmr's locale-YAML imports removed (the runtime YAML import hook isn't vendored).

# RFC: pnpm as the package manager instead of Yarn 4
Status: implemented (accepted 2026-06-16)
<!-- XXX: legacy ADR/RFC body format, not yet normalized to a unified RFC template. -->
## Context
The repo shipped on **Yarn 4** with the `node-modules` linker — a deliberately conservative choice that behaves like npm's flat layout while giving us Yarn's workspaces and `yarn constraints`. It worked. But Yarn 4's Plug'n'Play heritage makes the `node-modules` linker the off-the-beaten-path mode, and the broader JS ecosystem — tooling defaults, CI actions, Corepack examples, contributor familiarity — increasingly centers on pnpm. For a repo that is built primarily by agents and read by occasional human contributors, "the package manager most tools and people expect" has real value: fewer surprises, better-trodden failure paths, more copy-pasteable answers.
The switching cost is at its lowest right now. Nothing publishes from this repo yet (every package is `private: true`); dev/test/demo all run **unbuilt** via tsx, so the package manager only has to (a) resolve and link `node_modules`, (b) run the workspace scripts, and (c) enforce the workspace constraints. The one Yarn-specific asset is `yarn.config.cjs` (the `@yarnpkg/types` constraints engine), which is small and mechanical to re-express. This mirrors the reasoning in [the tsdown decision](2026-06-11-tsdown-over-dumble.md): swap a load-bearing tool for the healthier-ecosystem option while the blast radius is still small.
## Decision
Adopt **pnpm 11.7.0**, pinned via the `packageManager` field and installed through Corepack (same mechanism Yarn used):
- **Workspaces** move from the `package.json` `workspaces` array + `.yarnrc.yml` to `pnpm-workspace.yaml` (`vendor/*`, `packages/*` — the same globs; `examples/*` stay non-workspace, matching the prior setup and tsdown's explicit globs).
- **Strict symlinked linker** (pnpm's default) replaces Yarn's hoisted `node-modules` linker. We deliberately add **no** `node-linker=hoisted` / `shamefully-hoist` escape hatch: pnpm's non-flat `node_modules` makes phantom dependencies (importing an undeclared transitive dep) fail loudly, which is a *feature* for a repo whose whole quality story is mechanical gates ([mechanical quality gates](2026-06-11-quality-gates.md)). The gate suite — typecheck, lint, test, build, knip — is the safety net that proves no such phantom imports exist.
- **Build-script allowlist.** pnpm 10+ does not run dependency lifecycle scripts unless allowlisted. `pnpm-workspace.yaml` carries an explicit `allowBuilds` map (`esbuild`, `lefthook`, `@google/genai`, `protobufjs`) — the same supply-chain-hardening posture the repo already takes toward model/tool output, now applied to install-time code execution. `peerDependencyRules.allowedVersions.typescript: '>=5 <7'` silences benign peer-range warnings for the in-repo TypeScript.
- **Constraints become package-manager-independent.** `yarn.config.cjs` (which imported `@yarnpkg/types` and used `Yarn.workspaces()` / `workspace.set()`) is replaced by `scripts/check-workspace-constraints.ts`, a plain tsx script run as `pnpm run constraints`. It enforces the identical invariants — every package `private: true`; `@deepseek-ai/dsh-*` packages declare `cordis` as both a peer- and dev-dependency with matching ranges, `version: 0.0.1`, `type: module`; vendored packages checked for privacy only — over the same `vendor` + `packages` scope.
- All `yarn …` verbs across CI, lefthook hooks, `package.json` scripts, and docs become `pnpm …` / `pnpm run …`. `yarn.lock` → `pnpm-lock.yaml` (lockfile v9). `.gitignore` swaps `.yarn/` for `.pnpm-store/`. Vendored READMEs (e.g. `vendor/cordis/README.md`) keep their upstream `yarn` examples untouched per the Vendoring Policy.
Alternatives considered: **keep Yarn 4** (zero churn, but bets on the less-traveled linker mode and a constraints engine tied to one package manager); **npm workspaces** (ubiquitous, but no constraints story and weaker monorepo ergonomics); **pnpm with hoisted linker** (smoother migration, but throws away the phantom-dependency safety that is the main correctness reason to move).
## Consequences
The constraints check loses Yarn's auto-**fix** (`workspace.set()` could rewrite a manifest in place); the tsx script is check-only and exits non-zero with a message instead. This is acceptable — CI never ran `--fix`, and a one-line manual edit is rare. Contributors now `corepack enable` for pnpm rather than Yarn; `pnpm exec lefthook install` replaces `yarn lefthook install` (the `postinstall` hook still runs `lefthook install`).
Performance (measured at migration time on the dev NFS filesystem; single-digit-run samples, high variance — directional, not a benchmark suite):
| Scenario | Yarn 4 | pnpm 11 |
|---|---|---|
| Cold (empty cache/store, no `node_modules`) | ~14 s | ~16 s |
| Warm relink (cache/store warm, `node_modules` removed) | ~12–14 s | ~15–22 s |
| Frozen, `node_modules` present (no-op revalidate) | ~2–8 s | ~0.5–7 s |
On a fast local disk pnpm's content-addressed store typically wins on cold/warm installs and, especially, on **disk footprint** across multiple checkouts (one global store hardlinked into every `node_modules` vs Yarn copying ~279 MB per worktree — some devs regularly keep ~10 or more worktrees for this repo). That dedup advantage did **not** show in the migration-time numbers above because the test store and `node_modules` sat on different filesystems, defeating hardlinks; on a single-filesystem dev box or CI cache it applies. The honest summary: install speed on our NFS dev filesystem is a wash within noise; the move is justified by ecosystem alignment, phantom-dependency safety, and cross-checkout disk dedup — not by a raw install-time win.
All quality gates (constraints, typecheck, lint, doc-sync, test:coverage at 100%, build, knip, publint, echo-agent demo smoke) pass unchanged on pnpm, which is the correctness proof that the linker swap introduced no phantom-dependency breakage.

# RFC: Markdown cross-link validity linting
Status: implemented (proposed 2026-06-18, accepted 2026-06-18)
## Context
Docs in this repo link to each other by relative path — `[topic](../implemented/2026-…-….md)`, `[the cookbook](adding-a-tool.md)`, `[architecture.md](../../architecture.md)`. Nothing verified those targets exist. A rename or a move silently breaks every inbound link, and the break is invisible until a reader clicks it. [Doc-sync enforcement](2026-06-11-doc-sync-enforcement.md) already mechanized two classes of doc drift (uncompilable code blocks, a stale event-taxonomy table) and [verify-md-wrap](2026-06-11-doc-sync-enforcement.md) a third (hard-wrapped prose) — but a dead cross-link is a fourth, equally mechanical class that was still verified by eyeball.
The motivating case is the RFC tree reorganization that introduced this gate: unifying `docs/adr/` + `docs/rfc/` into one `docs/rfc/` with `proposed/`/`implemented/`/`rejected/` subfolders renamed roughly forty inter-doc links by hand. A single fat-fingered path would have shipped a broken link with nothing to catch it.
## Decision
A fourth `doc-sync` gate, `verify-md-links` (`scripts/verify-md-links.ts`), mirroring the `verify-md-wrap` style (tsx ESM, AST-based, verify-don't-generate):
- Parse each in-scope Markdown file with `mdast-util-from-markdown` + GFM and walk every `link`, `image`, and `definition` node.
- Check a target only when it is a **relative path**. Skip scheme-qualified URLs (`https:`, `mailto:`, …), protocol-relative (`//host`), root-absolute (`/path` — no stable base in a checkout), and pure in-page anchors (`#section`). Strip any `#fragment`/`?query`, resolve the path against the linking file's directory, and assert it exists on disk.
- Report and never rewrite; exit non-zero on the first broken link found.
Scope matches the other gates plus the AGENTS.md pair and the repo-authored agent-skill Markdown under `.agents/skills/` (those skill files cross-link into the docs tree, so this reorg rewrote links in them too): `README.md`, `docs/**/*.md`, `packages/*/README.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `packages/AGENTS.md`, `.agents/skills/**/*.md`, deduped by real path (the `CLAUDE.md` symlinks resolve onto the AGENTS.md files). It is wired into the `doc-sync` script that the lefthook pre-push hook and CI both run, so a broken link fails locally before a push — consistent with [mechanical quality gates](2026-06-11-quality-gates.md).
This gate checks *existence*, not anchor validity: a link to a real file with a `#wrong-heading` fragment still passes (the file resolves; the fragment is stripped). Anchor-level checking is a heavier, lower-value follow-up — file-level dead links are the failure that actually bit us.
## Consequences
- Renames and moves that orphan a cross-link now fail the pre-push hook and CI instead of waiting for a reader to click a dead link. This made the RFC reorganization that introduced the gate self-verifying: the same PR that rewrote forty links also added the check that proves none dangle.
- One more fast tsx script in the `doc-sync` chain; no new dependency (the mdast/GFM stack is already in devDependencies for `verify-md-wrap`).
- Fragment/anchor validity remains unchecked — a known, deliberate scope cut.
- The convention this enforces — cross-reference docs by machine-checkable relative link, never by bare prose or a number — is documented in [docs/AGENTS.md](../../../AGENTS.md) so authors know the gate exists and why.

# RFC: Core-data-structures catalog and the `ts type-equiv` drift gate
Status: implemented (accepted 2026-06-20)
<!-- XXX: legacy ADR/RFC body format, not yet normalized to a unified RFC template. -->
## Context
A reader trying to understand the harness could find its *behavior* in [architecture.md](../../../architecture.md) (the service map, the session/turn/step lifecycle, the event taxonomy) but had no single place describing its *vocabulary* — the data structures that behavior moves around. The type shapes lived only in source, scattered across `packages/*/src/types.ts`, so understanding "what is a `Message`, a `SessionEvent`, a `StreamChunk`" meant reading the declarations directly. A prose catalog would help, but a catalog that paraphrases or paste-copies type definitions rots the instant a field changes — and an out-of-sync type doc is worse than none, because a reader trusts it.
So the work had two intertwined questions: **what belongs in such a catalog** (the scoping problem — a harness has dozens of cross-package types and dumping all of them helps no one), and **how to keep pasted type definitions from drifting** (the durability problem). This RFC records both decisions. Its sibling, [the generated cordis events + services catalog](2026-06-20-generated-cordis-catalog.md), is the *wiring*-axis complement: this one catalogs the data structures, that one the events and services that move them.
## Decision
A new `docs/core-data-structures/` folder catalogs the vocabulary, with a new `verify-type-equiv` doc-sync gate that keeps every pasted type definition byte-identical to its source.
### What counts as "core" — the spine-vs-seam line
The scoping line was not picked top-down; it was discovered by testing candidate definitions against concrete borderline types until one rule survived every case. The decisive test was `BashExecRequest`/`BashExecSpec`/`BashRunResult`: bash is a capability *seam*, not part of the agent-loop spine, so if those are "core" then "core" means *all cross-package vocabulary* and the catalog is a flat dump; if they are not, "core" means *the central spine* and bash vocabulary belongs on a sub-page. The latter won, which set the whole structure: a **tiered folder**, not a flat document.
The rule that settled the remaining cases: ***the type you write, hold, or receive is core; the machinery that types it, renders it, or persists it is a sub-page detail.*** Worked through:
- A data structure is **core** if it flows through the agent-loop spine — the loop holds, derives, streams, or logs it on every turn regardless of which plugins load (`Message`, `StreamChunk`, `SessionEvent`, the `Agent` handle) — **or** it is the single headline type a plugin author writes against a pipeline (`ToolDefinition`).
- `ToolDefinition` is core (it is what every tool author writes) **even though the loop never holds one** — authoring-importance overrides the strict flows-through-spine rule for this one headline type. But its typing machinery — the `SchemaSpec`/`InferArgs` DSL — is a sub-page detail (you write a `ToolDefinition`; the type-level machinery that types it you do not). That is the spine-vs-seam line made sharp.
- `ToolSchema` is core (it is a field of `GenerateOptions`, the model request that flows through every step) even though it is conceptually part of the tool pipeline — *flows through the spine* wins over *conceptual home* when they conflict.
- The tool-presentation vocabulary (`ToolCallPresentation`, …, carrying a `FIXME(tool-presentation)` redesign marker), the `SessionPersistence` durability seam, and bash vocabulary are sub-pages.
`core.md` is a **self-contained spine doc**: it states the exact type definition of each spine structure with minimal prose and links to sub-pages for the per-seam detail. The sub-pages are `llm-streaming.md`, `session.md`, `persistence.md` (split from session along the in-memory-model vs. durability-seam line), `tools.md`, and `bash.md`.
### The `ts type-equiv` mechanism — literal AND drift-proof
The durability requirement was specific: the doc should show the **literal** current type definition (so a reader sees the real shape, not a paraphrase) **and** be mechanically guaranteed to match source. The repo already compiles fenced ` ```ts ` blocks (`doc-typecheck`), but a real typechecked block needs import noise and proves only *assignability*, not *byte-equality* — a renamed field with the same type would pass. So:
- Type definitions are pasted verbatim into a dedicated ` ```ts type-equiv ` fence. `doc-typecheck` recognizes the fence and skips it (a bare definition is not standalone-compilable), and **excludes it from the opt-out ratio** — it is a separately-checked category, not an unchecked sketch.
- A new `scripts/verify-type-equiv.ts` extracts each block via the TypeScript parser and asserts a **verbatim source match** against the declared symbol — chosen over a compiled `_Check` assertion precisely because byte-equality, not assignability, is the property we want.
- Provenance lives in a central `scripts/type-equiv.manifest.json` (`{ doc, symbol, source }` entries), **not** in directive comments in the prose. The script enforces a **1:1 correspondence**: every type-equiv block has exactly one manifest entry and vice versa, so a block can never be silently unchecked and an entry can never rot.
- Wired into `doc-sync`, so it runs in the same lefthook pre-push and CI paths as the other doc gates.
### Maintenance is the author's job, with a gate backstop
`verify-type-equiv` catches a *drifted paste* of an already-documented type, but it cannot tell you a brand-new core type went undocumented. So AGENTS.md and the `dsh-code-review` skill were updated to require keeping the catalog in sync when a change adds or reshapes a documented type — the gate handles drift, the human handles new surface.
## Process
The design was driven entirely by a one-question-at-a-time grilling that walked the scoping decision tree through concrete examples (`BashExecRequest`, `ToolSchema`, `ToolDefinition`, the schema DSL, the presentation types, the session/persistence split) before committing to the spine-vs-seam rule — the rule was the *output* of the examples, not an a-priori axiom. The implementation landed as four commits mirroring the structure of the work: the gate (`e97f94b`), the catalog (`7e33c7b`), the maintenance-guard updates (`53e01a0`), and a review-fix commit (`6da7a0f`).
That last commit is why the process is worth recording: an independent Codex review (gpt-5.5:xhigh) found a real **scan-gap bug** — `verify-type-equiv` only scanned the docs the manifest named, so a type-equiv block added to an *unmanifested* doc was silently skipped, defeating the 1:1 guarantee in one direction. The fix scans every doc in the markdown scope and reports an unmanifested block as an orphan. The same review corrected a `SessionPersistence` surface-listing prose error (`has`/`delete`) and the `doc-sync` command summary. The bug is the point: a drift gate that silently skips part of its input is worse than no gate, and only an adversarial reader caught it.
This decision shipped in #71 **without** an RFC at the time — the judgment was that the `ts type-equiv` convention was small enough to document in `development.md`. This RFC is the retroactive record: the spine-vs-seam scoping rule and the verbatim-match-over-assignability choice are exactly the kind of "why was it done this way?" decisions a future maintainer would otherwise re-litigate, and its sibling catalog ([generated cordis events + services](2026-06-20-generated-cordis-catalog.md)) does carry an RFC, so the pair should be documented symmetrically.
## Consequences
- The vocabulary now has a single home that **cannot silently drift**: a field rename in source fails `verify-type-equiv` in the pre-push hook and CI until the paste is refreshed.
- The spine-vs-seam line is a reusable scoping tool, not a one-off: the same "the thing you write/hold/receive is core; the machinery that types/renders/persists it is a detail" rule is what later scoped the events/services catalog's harness-vs-inherited tiering.
- The `ts type-equiv` fence is a third doc-block category alongside ` ```ts ` (compiled) and ` ```ts ignore-check ` (sketch). A later sibling added a fourth, ` ```ts cordis-catalog ` (generated signature), reusing the same skip-and-exclude treatment.
- Adding or reshaping a core type now carries a documentation obligation the author must honor (the gate cannot detect a missing *new* type), backstopped by the `dsh-code-review` checklist.

# RFC: Generated cordis events + services catalog
Status: implemented (accepted 2026-06-20)
<!-- XXX: legacy ADR/RFC body format, not yet normalized to a unified RFC template. -->
## Context
A plugin author needs two reference surfaces that no single document gave them: every cordis **event** they can listen to (with its exact signature and dispatch mode) and every `ctx.<key>` **service** they can call (with its exact interface). The pieces existed but were scattered — a hand-maintained event-taxonomy *table* in `docs/architecture.md` (names + prose Mode/Purpose, name-set-checked by `verify-event-taxonomy`), a Service-map table (8 rows of role prose), and the `interface Events` / `interface Context` declarations themselves. The taxonomy table also could not catch a brand-new *undocumented* event: a name-set verifier only checks the names that are already in the table on both sides.
This is the wiring-axis complement to the [core-data-structures catalog](../../../core-data-structures/core.md) ([its RFC](2026-06-20-core-data-structures-catalog.md)): that one catalogs the *data structures* the loop moves around (verified hand-pastes); this one catalogs the *events and services* that move them.
## Decision
Generate the catalog from source instead of hand-maintaining a table and verifying a subset.
`scripts/gen-cordis-catalog.ts` walks the `interface Events` and `interface Context` declarations (plus the service classes) with the TypeScript compiler API and emits `docs/cordis-catalog/events-and-services.md` — one `## Events` section (grouped by scope, each event rendered as signature + mode badge + its source JSDoc) and one `## Services` section (each `ctx.<key>` with its public method signatures + class JSDoc). It mirrors the `gen-module-graph` pattern exactly: `--write` regenerates, `--check` fails if the committed file is stale, output is deterministic (sorted), and the file is a build artifact that is never hand-edited. `verify-cordis-catalog` (the `--check`) runs inside `doc-sync`, so the freshness gate fires in the same lefthook pre-push and CI paths as every other doc gate.
Pure generation is correct here because the codebase is disciplined enough that the AST is the whole truth: every event/service name is a string literal that round-trips to a static declaration — there are no dynamically-named events and no runtime-only services. So a generated doc cannot be wrong, and it closes the undocumented-event gap structurally (generation enumerates source rather than checking a hand-written subset).
Specific choices:
- **`@mode` tag, cross-checked.** Each harness event's JSDoc carries an explicit `@mode emit|waterfall|parallel` tag; the generator hard-errors on a missing tag. Where the signature shape is conclusive — a trailing `next: () => …` parameter is structurally a waterfall — it asserts the tag agrees and hard-errors on a contradiction. The emit-vs-parallel distinction is not structurally visible (`session/flush` returns `Promise<void> | void` with no `next`), so it is trusted from the tag. The authoring rule lives in [AGENTS.md](../../../../AGENTS.md).
- **Tiered scope.** The harness tier (the 8 `@deepseek-ai/dsh-*` services + their events) is rendered in full from source. The inherited tier (cordis-core `ctx.on/emit/effect/provide/…` + the `internal/*` events + loader/hmr/timer) is pinned vendor source a plugin also sees; it is rendered tersely (name + one-line + source pointer) from a curated table in the generator, NOT walked from the vendor AST — the cordis-core `Context` mixes true ctx members with non-service fields (`root`, `baseUrl`, `logger`), and the vendor surface changes only on a deliberate vendor sync.
- **Cross-links to the data-structure catalog.** A type name in a signature (`GenerateOptions`, `StreamChunk`, `ToolDefinition`, …) links to the core-data-structures page that documents it. The map is a small hand-curated const in the generator — NOT `type-equiv.manifest.json`, which documents the `…Map` symbols while signatures reference the derived union names, and lists a few symbols on two pages.
- **A dedicated fence.** Signature blocks use a ` ```ts cordis-catalog ` info string that `doc-typecheck` recognizes and skips (a bare signature fragment is not standalone-compilable), excluded from the opt-out ratio — the same treatment `type-equiv` blocks get.
This **supersedes the event-taxonomy half** of [doc-sync enforcement](2026-06-11-doc-sync-enforcement.md): `verify-event-taxonomy` and its `docs/architecture.md` table are retired (the architecture.md heading stays, its body now points at the catalog; the Service-map role table stays as curated prose). The verify-don't-generate principle that RFC chose for the taxonomy is reversed *for this surface only* — the data here is mechanically complete, so generation is strictly stronger (full signatures, cannot drift, catches undocumented events) than a name-set check of a hand-table. doc-typecheck, verify-md-wrap, verify-md-links, and verify-type-equiv are unchanged.
## Consequences
- The catalog cannot drift: a source change that the committed file doesn't reflect fails `verify-cordis-catalog` in the pre-push hook and CI. A new event with no `@mode` tag, or a tag that contradicts its signature, fails the generator outright.
- Event prose now has a single home — the JSDoc at the declaration. Thin JSDoc yields a thin catalog entry, which pressures authors to document at the source (the generator is a forcing function for the AGENTS.md "every export has a semantic JSDoc" rule).
- The inherited tier is hand-summarized, so a vendor sync that adds/renames a cordis-core event or `ctx` member needs a matching edit to the curated table in `gen-cordis-catalog.ts`. This is the deliberate cost of not walking pinned vendor source; it changes rarely and is called out in the generator.
- `verify-event-taxonomy.ts` is deleted and the `docs/architecture.md` event table is gone; anyone who linked to a specific table row now lands on the generated catalog instead.

# RFC: Classify RFCs by kind via path-encoded subdirectories
Status: implemented (proposed 2026-06-20, accepted 2026-06-20)
## Context
`docs/rfc/` grouped RFCs by **lifecycle** only — `proposed/` / `implemented/` / `rejected/`. Nothing recorded what *kind* of decision each RFC was. The index was one flat list per lifecycle, with no way to scan "show me every simplification" or "every testing-strategy decision." A wave of simplification RFCs landing on the same day made the gap concrete: a reader skimming `proposed/` could not tell a new capability from a removal from a tooling-policy change without opening each file.
The repo's standing bias is [mechanical quality gates over prose guidelines](2026-06-11-quality-gates.md): a convention that isn't machine-checked rots. So a classification scheme here had to be enforceable, not an honor-system header.
## Decision
Add a second axis — the RFC's **class** — and encode it in the path: `{lifecycle}/{class}/yyyy-mm-dd-topic.md`. The folder *is* the label. A file's location declares its class, the closed set is "these folders and no others," and the existing [verify-md-links](2026-06-18-markdown-cross-link-lint.md) gate already protects the path rewrites the move required.
### The closed set of six classes
| Class | Covers |
|---|---|
| `feature` | A new user- or model-facing capability. |
| `bug-fix` | Corrects a defect or closes a gap a postmortem surfaced. |
| `simplification` | Removes code, behavior, or surface area without adding a capability. |
| `architecture` | A structural decision about the **shipped source** — how packages relate, what the runtime vocabulary is. |
| `process` | Tooling, policy, or workflow **around** the code, not runtime behavior. |
| `testing` | Test infrastructure and strategy. |
The `architecture` / `process` line: **architecture** is about the source we ship; **process** is the surrounding tooling and workflow. This RFC is itself a `process` decision — it changes how the repo is organized and gated, not what the harness does at runtime — so it lives under `implemented/process/`.
### Two gates
Both are `doc-sync` members, in the `verify-md-wrap` style (tsx ESM, verify-don't-generate, exit non-zero on the first violation):
- **`scripts/verify-rfc-classification.ts`** — the closed set and index completeness. It asserts every file under a lifecycle folder lives in a class folder from the canonical set (a loose `.md` at a lifecycle root, or an unknown class folder, fails), and that `README.md` lists every RFC exactly once under the `###` heading matching its `{lifecycle}/{class}` path. The canonical class set lives as a `const` in this script — the machine source of truth — and [the index](../../README.md) documents it in prose; the two are kept in sync by hand (the README's completeness is gated, its class *descriptions* are not). This mirrors `verify-event-taxonomy`, which checks a doc table against source.
- **`scripts/verify-doc-refs.ts`** — source comments that cite docs. RFC paths are referenced not only from Markdown but from TypeScript doc comments (root-relative prose like `docs/rfc/implemented/testing/2026-06-19-acp-snapshot-tests.md`). `verify-md-links` never saw those, so the reorg could have silently orphaned them. This gate scans repo-authored `.ts` under `packages/**` and `examples/**` (excluding built `lib/` and `vendor/`) for `docs/….md` tokens, resolves each root-relative, and asserts it exists. It requires the `.md` extension so extensionless prose (`docs/postmortem/0001`, `docs/architecture.md § plugin checklist`) is left alone.
### Rejected alternatives
- **A `Classification:` prose line** in each file (next to `Status:`), parsed by the gate. Workable, but it duplicates into the file a fact the path can already carry, and a line can disagree with its folder. Path-encoding makes the label and its storage the same thing — there is nothing to keep in sync.
- **A `refactor` class.** It overlaps `simplification` almost entirely; the only discriminator anyone reached for was "does observable behavior change?", which `simplification` already encodes (it does not). One class, not two.
- **Auto-generating the README index** from the filesystem. Rejected to keep the index hand-written like every other doc here; the completeness gate gives the same drift-protection without generated Markdown in a curated file.
## Consequences
- Every RFC now sits under a class folder, and the index groups by class within each lifecycle. A reader scans one heading to see all simplifications, or all testing decisions.
- Two more fast tsx scripts in the `doc-sync` chain; no new dependency (the mdast/GFM stack was already present for `verify-md-wrap`/`verify-md-links`).
- Adding a class is a deliberate act: amend the `const` in `verify-rfc-classification.ts` and the [Classification section](../../README.md#classification), not just `mkdir` a folder. The gate rejects an unknown folder, so an ad-hoc class can't slip in.
- Source-comment doc references are now gated too — a moved or renamed doc that a `.ts` comment cites fails the pre-push hook, closing a drift class `verify-md-links` structurally could not see.
