The frame carried `agentPreset` for surfaces that label the session, but
nothing consumed it: `noteAgentPreset` ran only in the switching tab's RPC
callback, so a second connected client refetched its catalogs while its
session row — the header label's source, and the hero chip's no-op input —
kept the composition the session had replaced.
`SessionManager.handleHostEnvelope` now folds the frame like the other
session frames. Re-applying the switching tab's own frame is a no-op: the
merge lowers `blank` only and keeps the row's `updatedAt`.
Presets own the rows that decide what a session's `/` menu contains, but
both browser catalogs cache per session and had no invalidation edge for a
recompose: `commands/changed` is registry-wide and recomposing registers
nothing, so the menu kept serving the composition the session no longer ran.
The host stream now frames the logged `agent-preset/selected` commit as
`host/session-preset-changed`; the runtime bridges it to the typed
`session/preset-changed` event, `ui-command` soft-refreshes that session's
directory key and `ui-skill` invalidates its catalog entry.
Reaching the host on a second switch was a separate defect: the list-row
identity guard compared every summary field except `agentPreset`, and the
merge keeps the row's `updatedAt`, so a switched row looked unchanged and
served its cached instance forever. The hero chip compares the pick against
that row, so switching back to the creation-time preset sent no RPC at all.
The mid golden was racing the reasoning block's stream: captureStableAria
could freeze on the pre-render gap between steering acceptance and the
assistant step, pinning a snapshot without the Think row. Wait for the
[data-variant=think] row so the golden captures the complete assistant step.
Steering bubbles render as plain user bubbles; a mid-turn steer is
recognizable by its position in the flow. The runtime SteeringMessageNode
projection and pending-steering lifecycle are unchanged.
Partially supersedes the 2026-08-04 context-source and steer marks note;
the new simplification note owns the removal rationale.
The persistence catalog recognizes SessionEventMap augmentations of
'@deepseek-ai/dsh-session/types' alone, so the selected event's old
root-specifier declaration compiled but silently vanished from the
generated catalog. The hermetic scaffold e2e still addressed the skill
registry as a preset-realm service; under the layered host registry the
composed agent's view is a scope read, and the ambient-root isolation it
proves is unchanged.
Delete design-session citations (decision/audit/plan ordinals, stack
positions), change narration, review choreography, and reviewer-addressed
justification from comments, JSDoc, docs, READMEs, Agent Notes, tests, and
generator templates; restate every affected fact as current-state contract
prose. Fix generated docs at their sources and regenerate the catalogs and
cordis-surface regions; re-paste type-equiv blocks; update every bilingual
counterpart and re-record the pairs. Record the citation rule in the
committed-artifact-citations Agent Note.
A hand-damaged preset was silent until the worst moment. An unparsable
composition listed as an ordinary selectable row and failed only at the
next session start — set as default, every new session failed. A
directory whose composition file was deleted vanished from the roster
while still occupying its id: copy answered "delete the existing preset
first" while remove answered "not found", a dead end.
Discovery now owns health: every id-shaped directory is a roster slot,
broken when its composition is missing or unloadable, checked with the
loader's own entryListSchema dialect (!!js included) so health never
rejects what the loader accepts. `broken` rides AgentPreset, the
agentPreset.list entry, and the UI row; mount/recompose/standingKeyFor
refuse broken up front with the discovery-reported reason, while
resolve/read/remove still answer. The section renders marked red cards —
unselectable, uncopyable, deletable, location kept on custom rows — and
both pickers drop broken rows entirely.
The cordis preset's persona now forbids editing the shipped install
(corrupting cordis would disable the mode itself) and points authoring
at $DSH_HOME/.agent-presets; its skill teaches preset.yml metadata, the
copy-first workflow, the one-escalation sandbox reality, and honest
verification. Exercised live: asked to edit the shipped composition the
composed agent refuses citing both rules; asked for real presets (simple
and complex) it lands them under the user root with one approved
escalation each and self-checks with the loader dialect.
Copying an existing preset — or drafting one in Creator mode — replaces
the copy-minimal skeleton hint: the creator entry exists now, so the intro
names the two real paths instead of steering everyone at one source.
The settings section gains the conversational authoring entry beside
copying: a dashed add-card (the Models page's affordance) that stages the
self-referential cordis preset and starts a new session on it, closing the
settings panel through the shell's new section owner-prop `close` — the
one shell affordance a section receives, for flows that leave settings.
The seat learns the difference between picking and staging: `select()`'s
immediate apply meets the still-current running session and drops the
stage as unservable, so the entry uses `stage()` and leaves the apply to
the list-change applier that fires when the started session becomes
current. `load()` stops regressing the display when its reply lands after
an applied stage was consumed — staged pick first, then the composition
the current session already carries, then the deployment default.
The authoring lane connects a workspace and drives the gesture to a
composed host session; the section goldens gain the entry.
