core.md read as a type grab-bag: LLM wire vocabulary up front, the agent/loop story buried, and no correspondence to packages/core. It now opens on the packages/core control spine — the package-by-package loop map with a Page column into session/system-prompt/tools/scope — and keeps only what the spine group declares plus the repo-wide patterns: the Agent handle with its delivery/cancellation/interception contracts, the SessionEvent envelope, branded ids, the …Map pattern. The conversation vocabulary (Message/ContentBlock, the model request, adapters — 17 type-equiv blocks) moves to llm-streaming.md, which now declares packages/llm end-to-end; the duplicate ContentBlockMap paste near its seam section folds into the moved section, and the manifest, LINK_MAP, README table rows, website label (Core data structures → Core), and inbound anchors follow.
Every packages/<group>/README pair is now a thin front door in one shape: a why-first intro (bash's seam-pattern-first paragraph rewritten as 'shell execution for the agent'), the package table, and a closing pointer to the owning docs/subsystems page — the bash-style table stays the load-bearing middle. Load-bearing trailing paragraphs relocate rather than vanish: the fs no-timeout rationale becomes a filesystem.md section (both languages), session's four sectioned tables merge into one 12-row table, examples' legacy-bin H2 collapses to a pointer at jsonrpc-demo's README, and design rationale that already lives in an Agent Note or subsystem page is now linked instead of restated. All 40 pair records re-recorded.
The tasks/ family now matches the capability-seam shape: @deepseek-ai/dsh-tasks
keeps the abstract TaskService (ctx.tasks contract, vocabulary types, snapshot
invariant companion) and the new @deepseek-ai/dsh-tasks-local carries the
process-local registry (LocalTaskService: in-memory store, settlement,
owner-cleanup effects, teardown, TASK_WAIT_TIMEOUT). Compositions and test
harnesses now load dsh-tasks-local; producers, TaskKindMap merges, and
dsh-tool-tasks keep importing the seam only.
Producer misconfiguration diagnostics name dsh-tasks-local because loading the
implementation is the fix. The registry behavior suite moves to tasks-local;
the seam keeps a stub-subclass registration test and the probe-based invariant
suite.
The background-task change repeated its lifecycle design across implemented RFCs, package READMEs, JSDoc, test commentary, and model-visible schemas. That repetition obscured the contracts that maintainers must preserve and added avoidable prompt tokens.
Rewrite the implemented RFCs around the current design, keep authorization, exact-owner cleanup, wait/abort ordering, producer quiescence, and teardown-failure guarantees at their owning surfaces, and remove peer surveys, review history, control-flow narration, and emphatic restatement.
Shorten the task and subagent schema wording, synchronize the bilingual tool cookbook, and regenerate the config, service, RFC, tool, and replay snapshot derivatives. Runtime behavior is unchanged; test edits update prose-only assertions and descriptions.
start({ kind, label, owner, run }) preflights everything that can fail
(the attachSurface fence, validation, the owner-cleanup attach) BEFORE
invoking the producer's run() starter, then commits atomically —
'work started but never got a collectable id' is now structurally
impossible instead of a producer try/catch rollback obligation (the
P1 review fix, rebuilt on #185's declare/execute split). Producers
lose their catch-wraps; the leak tests now pin the stronger property
that a failed preflight never spawns anything. TaskRegistration splits
into TaskStart (identity + run) and TaskHooks (cancel/done/readOutput);
docs, type-equiv manifest, catalogs, and both RFCs move with it.
One shared ctx.tasks registry (branded <kind>-N ids, owner-fenced
read/kill/wait/list, attachSurface misconfiguration fence, reported-flag
notice dedup, atomic register) + dsh-tool-tasks (task_output/task_list/
task_kill, completion-notice injection, background prompt habit).
Producers opt in via their own enableRunInBackground config: bash
(stream kind; seam slimmed to resolve/run/start returning a BashProcess
handle, bash_output/bash_kill deleted) and subagent (final-output kind;
done settles after run.dispose()). Owner disposal drains tasks through
the new awaited ctx.agents.onCleanup seam in the loop's disposal chain.
Both RFCs moved to implemented/; docs, catalogs, snapshots re-pinned.
