The ACP fixture configured read-only as the deployment default for both parent and child. Its delegated write therefore remained denied even with inheritance disabled, so the scenario could not fail on the regression it claimed to protect.
Delete the overlay, scenario registration, sessions, prompt, and 473-line tool-schema sidecar. The Loader-booted headless snapshot remains the real composition guard: only its parent carries read-only while the deployment default is workspace-write, so removing inheritance makes the child write reach disk and fails the test.
Keeping one discriminating snapshot avoids 662 lines of duplicated fixture data and makes the review evidence correspond to the actual security boundary.
The parent implementation introduced sandboxMode and approvalPolicy as generic SessionHeader fields, then propagated those fields through both persistence backends, session-query indexes, collision checks, policy-specific seed-boundary folds, catalogs, and a broad test matrix. That storage plane is unnecessary: Session already accepts a validated constructor seed, and persistence captures that seed when the session is announced before committing its first batch.
Capture each parent override synchronously at delegation, append source-tagged sandbox/mode and approval/policy records after the optional fork prefix, and create the child with that combined seed. Keeping header.seedLength at the original fork-prefix length preserves lineage while ordinary last-event-wins folds make the inherited records outrank stale parent history and remain subordinate to later child switches. Unswitched parents still stamp nothing, so children continue to follow deployment defaults.
Remove the generic header fields and every persistence/query/schema branch built around them. Collapse the inheritance suite from ten leaking scenarios to four owned-context cases covering real filesystem confinement, stale fork precedence, delegation-time capture, and the no-override path. The assembled headless snapshot now asserts the persisted inheritance event directly.
This keeps the security behavior while restoring policy ownership to the existing event log and deleting the speculative durability machinery that the original tests did not exercise.
Retarget the feature branch to the current master tip without rewriting its existing review history. Keeping this as a dedicated merge checkpoint makes the later simplification diff attributable to the stacked child rather than mixing base movement with design changes.
Resolve the identified-message API drift in the feature tests by constructing complete user messages, reading the nested tool-result message shape, and adapting the prompt-submit listener signature. Preserve both sides of the user-approval conflict: master’s createUserMessage wrapper and the feature’s inherited-policy attribution.
Regenerate the Cordis and persistence catalogs, re-record the session README pair, and refresh the affected ACP/headless fixtures so derived artifacts describe the merged source rather than either parent in isolation.
Validated with the focused policy/session/persistence/query suites (430 tests), focused ACP/headless snapshots (3 tests), build, doc-sync (25 gates), lint, hygiene, and git diff checks.
Boot the glob sampling scenario from a standalone ACP composition that exposes only bash, glob, and grep. Regenerate the smaller header fixtures and trim implementation narration already owned by the Agent Note.
Remove the duplicate model-facing list tool from this branch; directory orientation remains available through bash ls. Keep the glob sampling fix, add a real ACP composition snapshot, and narrow the decision record to the shipped bug fix.
Master had advanced 392 commits. Every conflict was a derived artifact both
sides had regenerated — `docs/tool-catalog.md`, four recorded headless
session logs, and one TUI terminal expectation — so each was resolved by
taking master's version and re-running the generator and the keyless
snapshot refresh on the merged tree. No source file conflicted.
The new `examples/jsonrpc-agent` fixtures keep master's scrubbed
`{{system}}` / `{{tools}}` headers: that suite scrubs request headers, so a
new tool changes nothing there and the refresh output was discarded.
The review made every name a JSON string with `<`, `>`, and `&` escaped. The
hazards behind that are real and each is now covered: a control character
splits one entry across lines, `</` closes the envelope, and a regular file
named `x@` reads as a socket named `x` under the non-regular marker.
Quote those, and only those. `list` is the tool an agent reaches for first
and its output sits in every transcript, so `"archive"/` on every ordinary
line is a permanent cost for a case that almost never occurs. A name is now
emitted verbatim unless it matches a control character, a leading quote, a
backslash, `</`, or a trailing `@`, and is otherwise a JSON string with `</`
neutralized — the delimiter treatment `dsh-workspace-context` already applies
to instruction text, extended to an interpolated path as its
`instruction-frame-paths` TODO asks.
`ctx.fs.listDir` has shipped since the filesystem seam gained it, with skill
discovery as its only consumer; the model-facing tool was deferred to a
separate decision. Nothing else could answer "what is in this directory":
`rg --files` backs glob and grep and never emits a directory entry, so an
empty directory is invisible, no output says which names are directories,
and no output gives an entry count.
`list` takes an optional `path`, defaulting to the session workspace so the
common question needs no argument, and returns the direct children of one
directory with their type. Two presentation rules carry it: directories sort
first, then files, then non-regular children, each alphabetically — so
truncation loses leaves rather than the tree — and the footer always states
the complete listing's size and composition, so a capped view can never read
as a whole directory.
It emits no `fs/observed`: seeing a filename is not reading a file, and a
listing must never satisfy the read-before-write gate.
