A plugin owning a standalone open/close bracket cannot tell a dead marker
from a live one: an unmatched `compact/start` reads identically whether the
previous writer died mid-compaction or a compaction is running now.
`Session.firstLiveSeq` already holds that answer exactly, but only in memory.
Append the log-only `session/inherited` event at that seq from the seeded
constructor — the single waist all six seeded-start paths pass through
(resume, configured startup on a persisted id, `sessions.fork()`, a subagent
fork child, `adopt()`'s live prefix, and a bare seeded `create`). Read it
through the new `isInheritedSeq(events, seq)`.
The constructor placement means persistence needs no changes: the marker is
already in `events` when a backend captures the creation seed, so it rides
the ordinary seed path with no load-time write. It also covers fork, where
the inherited bracket's owner may still be running — the case a
persistence-layer boundary could not reach.
Activity ordering excludes the boundary through `lastActivityTime()`, since
lazy resume makes browsing a pickup and the three call sites would otherwise
float every opened session to the top of a picker or list.
`dsh` shipped two config trees that were 43 rows the same: apps/cli/cordis.yml
composed web as 74 flat rows, while the TUI booted examples/tui-agent/cordis.yml
whose single `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui-demo` row mounted twelve plugins behind a
twenty-key pass-through Config. Neither file was what its location claimed —
apps/cli hardcoded the "example" as the product default and the "demo" bundle
was the application — and every capability change had to be made twice.
- apps/cli/base.cordis.yml holds the 43 shared rows; tui.cordis.yml and
web.cordis.yml are patch lists stating only what differs per surface
- overlays apply as SIBLING patch lists at one include level, because include
patches never cross an include boundary. Precedence: base < surface <
(--config | personal ~/.dsh/config.yaml) < launcher flag/profile patches
- `--config` now applies an overlay INSTEAD OF the personal one, so a demo or
test tree never inherits the user's route; new `--config-replace` boots a file
as the entire tree (the old `--config` behaviour). Both survive /resume
- vendor/include: index each `insert`ed row as it is added so a later patch can
configure or disable it. Upstream built the id index once before the patch
loop, leaving every surface-only row — the whole TUI front door — silently
unpatchable from user config. Logged as local modification 8
- session identity moves to dsh-agent-loop's CONFIGURED_AGENT_IDENTITIES_KEY;
dsh-tui's MAIN_SESSION_ID_KEY is deleted (only the bundle read it)
- delete examples/tui-agent, examples/cordis-agent, packages/examples/tui-demo;
TUI tests → apps/cli/tests, cordis e2e → packages/cordis/tool-cordis/tests,
examples/code-mode survives as an overlay leaf
- `dsh web` gains --config, threaded into AppCLIEntry as an extra overlay
Three latent defects surfaced and are fixed here: the TUI captured the optional
sessionQuery service once at construction and could permanently disable /resume
when it won the mount race; the session-store root silently reverted to a
project-local ./.sessions; --config-replace was dropped by the resume handoff.
Verified by booting each tree through the real Loader (TUI 55 entries, web 75,
zero unsettled) rather than reading YAML. All eight terminal snapshots replay
byte-identically; 14/14 PTY smoke, 112/112 snapshots, 25/25 doc-sync, hygiene
and lint clean.
