Align the one-shot app with the shared agent-spine contract that landed on master after this branch began. Expose maxParallelToolCalls, dshHome, toolBash, and toolTasks through the Loader schema and route them with pickSpineConfig().
This restores deployment control over tool-call concurrency, the shared Harness home, background bash, and task_output wait bounds instead of silently retaining owner defaults.
Exercise all four fields through the composed runtime, document the package-level contract, and regenerate the config catalog from the owning interface.
Race Loader startup with the process abort signal so SIGINT and SIGTERM can settle the one-shot CLI even when initialization has not returned a Context.
If boot settles after cancellation, dispose the late context asynchronously instead of recreating the wait. Contain late boot rejection and report a late disposal failure on stderr.
Cover prompt interruption, late context disposal, late boot rejection, and cleanup failure with focused CLI regressions.
Name the runnable leaf for the line-oriented front door it owns, matching the existing tui-agent and acp-agent organization. Move the complete config, Code Mode overlay, tests, metadata, and generated composition graph together, then update every loader path and repository reference.
Keep the shared model identity independent of its terminal front door by phrasing the persona as a coding-agent role rather than retaining the retired leaf name. Regenerate graph and tool catalogs and re-record each affected bilingual pair so derived documentation cannot point at the removed path.
Master unifies every live agent with its exact SessionId and moves declarative startup failures to agent-loop/config-start-failed. Keeping the branch’s AgentId label binding would let the TUI target the wrong lifecycle after reload and would miss asynchronous resume failures.
Resolve that contract migration by giving the selected terminal front door the same generated or resumed SessionId as agent-core, mounting the front door first, and entering fullscreen only after the matching root appears. Refresh the source-derived catalogs and keyless terminal goldens so Code Mode, workflow, Cordis-tool, and transient UI scenarios all exercise the merged identity model.
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.
Providers stream token-sized deltas, so a session log stores hundreds of
near-identical assistant/chunk lines whose JSON envelopes dwarf their
payloads (~56x measured on a real DeepSeek session, 73% of file bytes).
Add a lossless storage codec to dsh-session: packChunkRuns() folds each
run of >=3 consecutive same-block delta chunks into one storage row --
text-chunks / reasoning-chunks / tool-call-chunks, bare slash-less tags
like the header line's 'session' so rows cannot be confused with session
events -- and decodeStorageRecord() expands rows back to the exact
original events (seq0/time0 + dt gap array reconstruct every member's
seq/time; tool-call rows carry the run-constant id/name). The encoder
whitelists exact shapes and stores anything unrecognized verbatim; the
decoder validates row-tagged values and fails loud on malformation.
The JSONL backend gains a packChunks config (default false). Writing
packs only when enabled -- default-off output stays byte-identical to
the previous layout, so snapshot goldens are untouched. Reading is
layout-blind: scanLog always decodes rows and now checks seq contiguity
with a cursor instead of the line index, so packed, unpacked, and mixed
files all load identically. Fixture readers (llm-replay parseSessionLog,
acp-snapshot normalizeSessionLog) share the codec; the normalizer zeroes
a row's time0/dt exactly like an event's time. The two demo bundles
plumb packChunks from cordis.yml to the backend.
Measured on a real coding session: 105 KB -> 42 KB (-60%), 475 lines ->
74, with reasoning/tool-call heavy sessions saving the most. Covered by
example + fast-check round-trip codec tests, backend packed/mixed/torn-
tail specs, and an end-to-end demo run loading a packed log through a
default-config backend.
