Two had real security consequences:
The bootstrap rejection ran on npm dotenv's parser while process.loadEnvFile
applied the file with Node's own. Two independently maintained dialects meant
the check and the thing it guards could disagree: a name Node accepts but the
checker misses would reach process.env unchecked, and BASH_ENV there runs a
file of the project's choosing on every `bash -c` the bash tool issues. Parse
once with node:util's parseEnv — the same engine loadEnvFile uses — and assign
the entries already checked, which also drops the dotenv dependency.
llm-pi-ai still returned a literal profile.apiKey ahead of everything, and it
registers a settings namespace, so the defect removed from llm-deepseek
survived intact in its design twin. The field is gone from the profile schema,
the resolution path, and the tests.
The rest are consistency and documentation defects the review named:
- verify-config-source-ownership did not scan the Python runtime's bundled
cordis.yml, which still inlined apiKey and baseURL. Both are covered now, and
the line-anchored INLINE_DENY documents that it is a tripwire, not a parser.
- The deny list missed NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED, the askpass hooks, the
GIT_CONFIG_* redirections, and PYTHONHOME — all implied by its own stated
rule about what a variable does.
- Snapshot lookups folded case on Windows, where environment names are
case-insensitive and an exact-match Map could miss a higher-ranked layer.
- The credentials note claimed a read-time permission check was "not taken"
while this PR implemented it; the credentials-local README still described
two layers, live process.env reads, dotenv-era limitations, and a renamed
anchor; the llm-deepseek README still advertised the removed literal apiKey;
and web.ts and base.cordis.yml kept personal-overlay wording.
- The ownership note's literal-apiKey claim now names its scope: the
web-search providers keep a literal field but register no settings
namespace, so nothing can shadow a stored credential through them.
Master removed the TUI package, the `meta` and `upgrade` subcommands, and
`--config-replace`, and made raw `dsh` require a `--config` overlay. Resolved
onto that shape:
- Dropped this branch's TUI edits with the surface itself, including
`tui.cordis.yml`, `runTui`, and the TUI keyless PTY smoke.
- Dropped the `--config-replace` plumbing rather than reintroducing a flag
master deliberately removed. The gap this branch fixed remains: `dsh -p`
still could not name its composition, so it keeps `--config`.
- Kept this branch's deletion of the personal `$DSH_HOME/config.yaml` layer,
which master still carried, and provided the environment snapshot in the new
raw `runConfig` surface alongside web and headless.
- Ported the headless shutdown PTY test off the personal overlay onto a named
`--config` file, which is what proves that flag now exists on `-p`.
$DSH_HOME/.env had just become an ordinary environment layer, which left the
harness resolving user-facing values from a flattened process.env that could
no longer say where a value came from. A key stored through the web page
stayed shadowed by an older key in the user's own .env. An endpoint could be
redirected by the project: the invoking directory's .env is materialized like
every other layer, and a base URL decides where a resolved API key is sent, so
a DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL written into a model-editable workspace would send the
user's credential — and the prompts carrying their code — to whatever host
that file named.
Give every user-facing value one ordering, with four kinds of source:
explicit for this run per-operation override, CLI argument
> authored by deployment --config / --config-replace
> this launch's shell inherited process environment
> product-managed store settings.yaml, .credentials.yaml
> discovered file $DSH_HOME/.env
> defaults schema default, shipped base, public default
The domains differ only in which tiers exist. The earlier split — credentials
ranking the environment over the managed file while settings ranked over the
environment — was inconsistent: the distinguishing fact is who authored the
source, not the domain.
packages/util/environment owns an immutable snapshot with per-layer
provenance. getFrom(name, sources) searches only the layers a caller names,
and omitting one is a refusal rather than a demotion: the adapters ask for
['process', 'user-env'], so no reordering can let a project file back into a
decision it was excluded from.
isBootstrapOnly rejects, before anything is materialized, any .env setting a
variable that governs how a process launches (PATH, SHELL, NODE_OPTIONS,
LD_PRELOAD), where code or model-visible instructions load from (the whole
DSH_* namespace, HOME, XDG_*), or how the network is reached (proxy and CA
variables). The namespace is denied wholesale so a switch added later cannot
become settable by being forgotten, and there is no opt-out.
verify-config-source-ownership keeps both rules: no unregistered process.env
read under packages/*/*/src (26 allowlisted with reasons), and no apiKey,
baseURL, or headers inlined from the environment in shipped Cordis config —
removing those inlines is what makes the deployment tier meaningful.
#1381 landed the bar's horizontal position; this branch decides when it is
drawn. The e2e keeps both scenarios and the golden carries both palettes'
pointer-state readings alongside the new edge-offset lines.
Review findings from the first round:
- ui-settings renders its full-viewport panel as a fixed-position DESCENDANT
of the sidebar column, so `pointerleave` never fires when the pointer moves
onto it and the bars stayed drawn after it closed. Leaving is now decided
against the column's box from a document-level pointermove that exists only
while the bars are drawn; the element's own leave stays for the pointer that
leaves the window.
- The rebind gate judges the rule rather than each declaration, so a pair that
mixes `transparent` with an l2 hover no longer passes, and the elevation
half compares whole values instead of token shape.
- Hiding no longer exempts a sheet from the elevated-surface rebind check.
- The e2e polls the reveal before reading a colour for the golden, and pins
that a pointerless scroll draws no thumb.
$DSH_HOME/config.yaml was an implicit composition layer: if the file existed,
every launch applied an arbitrary Loader patch graph over the shipped tree,
kept live by a dedicated HMR watcher. Three costs came from the implicitness,
not the capability. A patch replaces its target row's whole config, so a file
written months ago pins that row to the field set it knew and every default
the shipped tree later adds silently stops applying. It competed with the
typed settings namespaces llm-deepseek and llm-pi-ai already register, so
which one wins was a function of layer order rather than meaning. And the
explicit escape hatch it was supposedly redundant with did not exist on every
surface: dsh -p, dsh meta, and dsh upgrade all rejected --config, so for them
the implicit file was the only composition route at all.
Complete the explicit layer first: --config and --config-replace now work on
every booting surface. A headless --config-replace tree must still mount a
webserver row, because that surface reaches its own agent over the same HTTP
gateway the browser uses; AppCLIEntry names that contract in the failure
instead of reporting a bare missing service.
Then delete the implicit one. PERSONAL_CONFIG_FILENAME, loadPersonalPatches,
watchPersonalPatches, and the config-only HMR row mounted for it are gone; a
file left at that path is inert, and --dump-config no longer reads the Harness
home. --config therefore stops *replacing* the personal overlay and simply
*is* the user overlay.
No migration: a user who wants the old behavior names the same file
(dsh --config ~/.dsh/config.yaml), which a shell alias makes permanent.
The session list overflows after a handful of sessions, and its scrollbar
was drawn permanently in a column that is at rest most of the time.
SidebarRoot now tracks the pointer over the whole column and rebinds
ui-theme's scrollbar indirection pair to `transparent` while it is
outside, keeping the thumb for 2s after the pointer leaves so it does not
blink out on the way past. Rebinding colour leaves the list's
`scrollbar-gutter: stable` reservation in force, so revealing the bar
moves no row.
ui-theme's gate now states the widened contract: a rebind targets an -l2
token pair or `transparent`, and nothing else.
Both editors live in `ui-models` and list the same thing, so they now share
one row shape rather than diverging when #1368 lands: a bordered entry per
model, id and display name on the row, and the capacities behind the row's
own disclosure. The context window is joined there by the per-model output
cap the adapter just gained; both read a decimal K/M suffix.
The shared class names carry this file's token spellings, not that branch's.
`--dsw-alias-border-subtle`, `--dsw-alias-text-tertiary`, and
`--dsw-alias-text-primary` are undeclared, so they resolve to the light-mode
literals in their fallback slots — the defect this section was moved off. A
styles test now rejects any `--dsw-*` name the token sheet does not declare,
so the next editor to name one fails instead of shipping a light-only
surface.
The keystroke buffer is now per capacity field rather than per row, since a
row holds two of them.
$DSH_HOME/.env carried two incompatible jobs. As credentials-local's writable
secret store it could not be hoisted into process.env — hoisting makes every
stored key read as a read-only launch override and blocks rotation from the
TUI and the web page. But its name and dotenv format promise an environment
file, so a DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL sitting beside a working DEEPSEEK_API_KEY in the
same file was silently ignored: only the credential provider read the
document, and it addresses credential references alone.
Split the two jobs into two files.
.credentials.yaml is the provider-managed store: a strict YAML mapping of
CredentialRef to non-empty string, no version field, no wrapper level. Because
it holds credentials and nothing else, a non-mapping root, a non-identifier
key, a non-string value, an empty string, a duplicate key, and malformed YAML
are all rejections rather than skipped entries — loud at boot and at a write,
warn-and-keep-last-good on a live reload. The dotenv physical-line editor
gives way to a patch of the parsed document, so comments and untouched entries
keep their formatting and any string value round-trips, multi-line included.
Writer lock, read-modify-write, atomic 0600 write under a 0700 directory,
watcher, self-write suppression, and quiescent disposal are unchanged.
$DSH_HOME/.env becomes the user's ordinary environment layer. app-boot's new
loadLayeredEnv loads the invoking directory's .env then the Harness home's,
giving user < project < inherited; the home resolves from the inherited
environment first, so a project .env cannot redirect it.
Credential precedence is unchanged: the live environment still wins read-only
over the file, and shadowed writes still reject. Whether a provider-managed
store should instead win over the environment is a separate decision.
No migration: a key already in $DSH_HOME/.env keeps resolving through the new
environment layer, as a read-only env source that shadows the stored one.
