Conflict resolution beyond line merges: the ACP bridge's mode/set
re-notify moved inside master's new containment finally (a throwing
presenter must not desync the picker), and session/new keeps the modes
advertisement beside master's plain object return. dsh-mode's boundary
flush moved off the session/event feed onto the loop's interception
seams (agent/prompt-submit / agent/turn-continuation): master's scoped
dispatch made post-commit session observers observe-only — an append
from one re-enters the publishing append — while the two waterfalls
fire outside any log emit and bracket the same boundaries; mode.spec's
boundary helper now dispatches those seams via agentEvents, and the
containment tests stub only the mode/set append. Catalogs, doc graphs,
and the module graph regenerated.
A preset names a bundle of the two mechanism knobs — request =
workspace-write + ask, yolo = danger-full-access + never — so the editor
shows ONE 'Permissions' select where the sandbox-mode and approval-policy
tiers stay orthogonal capabilities (the Codex /approvals shape: presets over
two dials). ctx.permission (dsh-permission) owns the config-defined table,
validates the default preset's bundle against the composed knob defaults at
load (fails loud), and writes a switch THROUGH: one log-only
permission/preset event (the audit fact reverse-mapping cannot recover —
the planned 'agent' preset shares request's knob values and differs only in
composed policy) plus each knob event via its own setter, deduped — a
net-zero switch appends nothing. Every knob consumer keeps reading its own
fold, untouched.
The current preset DERIVES from the effective knob values — the fold breaks
bundle ties, a knob state outside the table is the reserved 'custom' value
(a state, not an error: shown while it holds, switchable FROM, never a
target), and defaultPreset disappears (zero-event state reverse-maps from
the composition defaults).
The ACP bridge drops the two per-knob selects for the one preset select
(advertised only when ctx.permission is composed); pending/anchor/no-op
semantics carry over unchanged, with the no-op echo acknowledged before
vocabulary validation so a client re-pushing a derived 'custom' current
never errors. The sandbox variant example composes the
service with a workspace-write default; the permission-switching,
escalation-approved and escalation-rejected scenarios are re-recorded under
it (escalations now target an outside-workspace /tmp path under
danger-full-access, self-cleaning) and config-options is re-authored on the
single-select wire.
A ModeDefinition is now exactly { section, access? }; unknown keys (a
tools list included) fail loud at load. What plan mode still does: the
guidance section, the exit_plan_mode visibility rule (plan only, both
soft surfaces), the access cap's bash/resolve-mode clamp, and the two
cap-derived pre-execute guards (the bash trio is withheld when no
confining executor can honor the cap; sandbox escalation is denied
while it holds). The general deny-by-default gate and the assemble
allowlist filter are gone: which tools a mode admits is an effects
question, and a hand-maintained name list mislabels it — it must track
every composed tool and rots silently as tools arrive. The dimension
returns as a consumer of effects self-declaration on tool definitions
(MCP ToolAnnotations as the template) — rationale and restart trigger
archived in the RFC's Alternatives/Deferred; the interim guidance-only
non-shell restraint is priced in Consequences.
Exiting plan is now a pure removal (the exit tool + section), which the
delta encoding CAN express: the re-recorded plan-mode fixture pins one
plan-shaped initial header snapshot plus one header-delta instead of
two snapshots.
A ModeDefinition may declare access: the widest sandbox access shell
commands run under while the mode holds, on the SANDBOX_MODES ladder.
The bash seam gains the resolution point to hang it on: BashExecutor.
resolveMode(session) folds override ?? default and dispatches the new
bash/resolve-mode waterfall; dsh-tool-bash consults it at both the
stamping site and the escalation baseline; dsh-mode's clamp listener
takes the ladder minimum per call. Two independent log folds compose at
read time — the mode never writes the sandbox knob, so the two switch
in any order and the knob re-emerges intact on exit.
The built-in plan definition ships access: read-only with the bash trio
allowlisted CONDITIONALLY: both policy layers admit bash/bash_output/
bash_kill only while a confining executor is mounted (an unconfinable
shell cannot honor the cap), and a bash call carrying sandbox_permissions
under a cap is denied at the gate — no widening mid-mode; the widened
step belongs in the plan.
examples/plan-acp-agent swaps bash-local for sandbox-local +
bash-sandbox (workspace-write default, clamped read-only inside plan)
plus the approval seam; the re-recorded plan-mode arc runs a real cat
inside plan under the clamped sandbox, and modes-advertise now pins the
sandbox-mode and approval config options. RFC amended to the landed
shape (access cap section, orthogonality FAQ, deferred item resolved
into effects self-declaration).
The stack rebases onto a moved master through its base branch. Beyond
mechanical unions (both branches' demo scripts, example rows, service
roles, tool lists, acp deps, doc budgets — each side fit alone, the
union needs the higher ceilings), three semantic reconciliations:
- The ACP bridge now carries BOTH per-session surfaces: the sandbox
stack's config options + approval answerer and this branch's session
modes; session/new and session/load advertise modes AND configOptions
side by side.
- The feature matrix supersedes the sandbox stance per the RFC's
second-lander rule: session/set_mode and current_mode_update flip to
shipped-by-dsh-mode, config-option rows stay as #169 wrote them, and
§6 records both landed features under the picker-to-modes /
knobs-to-config-options division.
- The snapshot pin grammar (#254: one header snapshot + declared deltas
+ a Markdown prompt golden) gains a symmetric declaration for what a
delta cannot express: expectedHeaderSnapshots — a plan-mode flip
resorts the canonical tool list, so its widening lands as a second
full snapshot, now its own Markdown section. The pin-less-class and
model-turn-only-pin amendments carry over; new fixtures cover the
extended writer paths, and the plan-acp-agent scenarios re-recorded
under the merged composition (the app now bundles the skill tool)
with the suite's refresh mode wired through.
Rewrite the agent-scope RFC with executable examples and an explicit security non-goal. Harden subagent scalar and depth validation, and pin live tool-filter semantics across code, tests, and generated docs.
Make Cordis construction and teardown ownership reentrancy-safe, then carry caller and provider ownership through reservation, setup, publication, quiescence, and sentinel retirement.
Stabilize registry carriers and factory/workflow boundaries, add adversarial lifecycle regressions, and align the rewritten RFC plus generated contracts with the enforced behavior.
Drain idle injection flushes before agent teardown, snapshot approval and subagent provider inputs, and gate subagent lifecycle events on real child readiness. Align the RFCs and generated contracts with the hardened behavior.
