Node >= 21 exposes a global `navigator` reporting the machine's own language,
so gating detection on `navigator` let a non-browser boot of the client tree
resolve to `en` instead of the documented fallback; `window` is the browser
test. `navigator.languages` is spec-required but absent on some embedders and
older WebViews, where spreading it would throw at boot, so the walk tolerates
its absence and `navigator.language` covers that host.
The per-spec pin boilerplate collapses into one suite-level
`usePinnedBrowserLanguages('zh-CN')`, which owns the rationale in
dsh-client-test-runtime, and the English-browser e2e scenario now clears the
console warnings channel too — its page has no closing inventory spec.
A first visit resolved to Chinese regardless of the browser: LocaleService
read `dsh.locale` and fell straight back to `zh` when nothing was stored,
ignoring the languages the browser already states it reads.
The initial locale now resolves through three ordered sources — the persisted
preference, then `navigator` (first entry of the ordered language list whose
primary subtag names a shipped locale, so `zh-Hans-CN` -> zh and `en-GB` ->
en), then `FALLBACK_LOCALE`. An explicit choice still wins and nothing writes
the detected locale back to storage, so "has the user chosen?" stays a
question only the stored value answers.
Specs asserting the shipped Chinese copy now state the browser they assume:
the web e2e scenarios open their page with `locale: ZH_BROWSER_LOCALE`, and
package specs pin it through the new `pinBrowserLanguages` test helper.
`settings-chrome.e2e.ts` gains an English-browser scenario as the
assembled-app proof.
workspace.archiveSession answers the full updated archive set;
workspace.list carries the set as the reconnect baseline; the host
stream pushes host/archived-sessions-changed full snapshots from the
domain/changed global-put branch (same posture as workspace-changed).
Unknown sessions map to the existing session-not-found code.
The mutate seam's root-path ops, its non-array rejection, and the recursion
into an existing nested object were unexercised, as was the whole containment
side of the settings/document-updated fan-out and the before-snapshot repair
of a section a hand edit left non-object. The settings.mutate route had no
round trip at all: neither the client method nor the handler entry ran.
The remaining P1 from the #939 review, plus the P2 it shares a mechanism with.
Nothing carried a version, so two tabs editing one namespace silently
overwrote each other — reproduced as tab B's `reasoning` lost to tab A's
older draft. The seam's per-namespace write queue orders writes; it cannot
tell a fresh writer from one replaying a snapshot a predecessor superseded.
Each namespace now carries a monotonic `revision` over its RAW section. A
write may send `expectedRevision`, checked at the FRONT of the queue (not at
call time, which would race the very predecessor it guards against); a
mismatch rejects with `SettingsConflictError` → `settings-conflict` on the
wire, carrying both revisions. The editor captures the revision it opened at
and, on conflict, asks the user to reopen rather than replaying its snapshot.
The same counter fixes the missing broadcast. `settings/updated` is gated on
the resolved value — correct for consumers, wrong for configuration surfaces:
storing an override equal to the composition base leaves the resolved value
alone while changing what the document says (the field is now overridden, not
inherited) and moving every open editor's revision. `settings/document-updated
(ns, revision)` fires on any raw-section change, in-process or external, and
`host/settings-changed` now rides it.
That event also closes the stale model picker: editing a provider's `models`
changes no route, so `llm/adapters-updated` never fired and an open picker
kept serving the old catalog. A change to an exposed provider namespace now
emits `host/models-changed` too — that namespace holds the catalog.
Docs: both sides of the five touched README pairs, a type-equiv block for
`SettingsPathOp`, and an Agent Note recording what the plane exposes and who
may overwrite what. The deferred wire-redaction gaps (secrets behind
union/intersection/transform, `.default(...)` in the served envelope, schema
text in rejection messages, `new Function` rehydration, pi-ai's `headers`) are
recorded as TODO(settings-wire-redaction) and in Known Limitations rather than
half-fixed.
A question may now carry `intent`, a tagged declaration that it IS a decision
of a known shape, so a UI that recognises the tag can present it as such
instead of as a generic option list. The one member is
`{ kind: 'plan-review', approve }`, which plan-mode sets on the exit_plan_mode
review.
An intent shapes presentation only: a UI honouring it answers with the same
option labels a generic UI would send, so the tool reads one answer shape
either way, and a UI that does not know the tag renders the generic flow.
`approve` names the affirmative option rather than relying on option order;
since no type can tie that label to the question's own option list, `ask()`
rejects a mismatch as BAD_INTENT, and the wire schema rejects an unknown tag
outright rather than silently rendering generic.
plan-mode also stops reporting a dismissed review as "the user cancelled
ask_user_question" — a tool it never called. A dismissal now tells the model
the user took the turn back to speak, and to stay in plan mode and wait; every
other ask failure keeps its own message.
Five findings from the #939 review, each reproduced before being fixed.
**Configuration reads are as privileged as writes.** `settings.describe`
returns every exposed namespace's configuration and `credentials.describe`
reports whether an arbitrary environment-variable name is configured and from
where — reconnaissance no anonymous caller should have. Both join
PRIVILEGED_METHODS, so the whole configuration plane is loopback-only until
real authentication exists; `trustedHosts` was never authentication. The model
catalog stays reachable: it carries no endpoints or key state, and a LAN
client's model picker legitimately needs it. Asserted over a real HTTP server,
because the Host header a browser actually sends is what decides this.
**The proxy serves only namespaces a registered model provider addresses.**
The settings seam is general — any plugin may register one — but the Web
configuration plane is the model-provider surface. Without the gate, every
future `settings.register()` would silently become remotely readable and
writable configuration. An unregistered namespace and an unexposed one answer
identically, so no caller can enumerate the registry one probe at a time.
**Path-addressed writes replace the redacted-document rebuild.** The editor
reads the REDACTED descriptor, so rebuilding a section from it and replacing
wholesale deleted every literal secret the wire never returned — reproduced as
`{baseURL, reasoning}` in, stored `apiKey` gone out. `settings.mutate` applies
set/unset ops to the section as it stands at the front of the seam's write
queue, and the client names only fields it can see, so an unseen secret is
untouched by construction rather than by care.
P2s in the same pass: `llm/adapters-updated` now contains async listener
rejections (an uncontained one escaped as unhandledRejection, contradicting
the documented "observer failures are contained"); llm-deepseek's retry-policy
swap uses the atomic `registration.replace` instead of dispose-then-register,
which published `[]` then `["deepseek-official"]` so an observer saw the
provider disappear and come back; and a transport rejection no longer strands
the page in `loading` or a card in `busy`, with removal failures surfaced on
the page banner instead of swallowed.
