Move the interactive pi-tui front door into @deepseek-ai/dsh-tui while keeping @deepseek-ai/dsh-stdio line-oriented for pipes. Select the terminal package in the demo app, preserve logger ownership, and cover the production Loader composition with a PTY smoke test.
The public kill result used the awkward phrase already-terminal. Rename it to already-finished and keep the model-facing response aligned; not-alive would be inaccurate because a force-failed registry record can still correspond to orphaned producer work.
Task kinds were open strings even though producer namespaces are an extension point. Add the merge-extensible TaskKindMap and derived TaskKind, cover consumer declarations in task and bundle tests, and retain the runtime non-empty check for untyped callers.
With exactOptionalPropertyTypes, owner?: Agent | undefined allowed an explicit undefined value that no caller needs. Tighten the property to owner?: Agent so unowned work is expressed by omitting it.
Record the requested task-service/backend split as a follow-up, using a systemd-backed runtime as a concrete candidate without guessing its durability and ownership contract in this PR. Regenerate the type and Cordis catalogs so public docs match the declarations.
Refresh the background-task branch onto the latest repository baseline before applying review feedback. This preserves merge ancestry, incorporates the current CI and package-structure changes, and ensures the review fixes are validated against the code that will actually receive the PR.
The acp built-bin smoke killed its child and immediately rm'd the temp
consumer dir; POSIX tolerates unlinking a live process's cwd, Windows fails
EBUSY while the child still holds its cwd and session-log handles (the CI
windows job's only red step). Await the child's exit after SIGKILL and give
both smokes' rm a brief retry for the OS handle-release lag.
Repair cross-group README links whose targets changed groups
(ui/jsonrpc, ui/app-boot -> examples; examples/* -> ui seams),
re-record the bilingual-pair consistency hashes for the docs the
rename touched on both language sides, and condense the AGENTS.md and
packages/README.md group entries. The packages/README ceiling rises
710 -> 760 for the mandated new examples/ hierarchy row (5% headroom).
The @deepseek-ai/dsh-* wildcard maps each package name to its group's
src; the new packages/examples/ group needs its own glob, or the four
moved packages fall back to unbuilt lib/ and vitest cannot resolve them.
Also update the moved specs' plugin export-name assertions (acp-agent ->
acp-demo, stdio-agent -> stdio-demo, agent-core -> agent-spine-demo).
Add the packages/examples/ group README, drop the moved packages from the
core/ and ui/ group READMEs, and add the examples/ row to the packages
hierarchy table and the repo-layout in AGENTS.md.
Move the agent-spine bundle and the stdio/ACP/JSON-RPC app packages out of
core/ and ui/ into a new packages/examples/ group, renamed with a -demo
suffix so the npm name marks them as non-product surface:
core/agent-core -> examples/agent-spine-demo (dsh-agent-spine-demo)
ui/stdio-agent -> examples/stdio-demo (dsh-stdio-demo)
ui/acp-agent -> examples/acp-demo (dsh-acp-demo)
ui/jsonrpc-agent -> examples/jsonrpc-demo (dsh-jsonrpc-demo)
Update every code/config/test reference and reference-only doc mentions, and
regenerate module-graph, config-catalog, and doc-graphs. The jsonrpc bin
(dsh-jsonrpc-agent) and single-file exe (dsh-jsonrpc-agent-pkg) keep their
names; the SDK runtime-startup surface is reconciled separately.
