Every packages/*/* README now carries a canonical '## Known Limitations and
Deferred Work' section: condensed, evidence-backed bullets for consumer-visible
gaps (unimplemented features, platform caveats, MVP cuts) and consciously
postponed work (TODO/FIXME/XXX markers, RFC deferrals still open). The ten
pre-existing ad-hoc variants ('What is NOT here (TODO)', 'Deferred',
'Limitations (MVP)', 'Known limitations (tracked TODOs)', ...) are normalized
into the canonical heading.
A new doc-sync gate, scripts/verify-readme-limitations.ts, enforces the shape:
exactly one limitations-like heading per package README, byte-equal to the
canonical h2, with at least one bullet; near-miss headings fail so variants
cannot creep back. Packages with genuinely nothing to declare (dsh-brand,
dsh-timeout, dsh-subagent-mock, dsh-app-boot) are whitelisted in the script and
must NOT carry the section; whitelist entries are validated against the scanned
package set so a rename fails loud.
Wired into the doc-sync chain (package.json) and the run-gates doc-sync leaf
set; the standing rule lands in packages/AGENTS.md and the adding-a-package
cookbook; decision record in
docs/rfc/implemented/process/2026-07-10-readme-known-limitations-gate.md
(RFC index regenerated).
Also fixes two stale '(deferred)' markers claiming dsh-compact-basic is
unimplemented (the dsh-compact seam README's package table and the seam's
module doc comment).
Define the in-file RFC contract in docs/rfc/README.md § The file format:
the header block (`# RFC: <title>` plus a dateless Status enum
cross-checked against the lifecycle folder), the per-lifecycle body
skeleton (a Problem opener everywhere; Proposal/Alternatives considered/
Acceptance criteria/Risks in proposed/; present-tense Decision/
Consequences with proposal-era headings banned in implemented/; the
frozen proposal shape in rejected/), and a mandatory Alternatives
considered section with a date-fenced grandfather comment for pre-format
RFCs whose alternatives are not reconstructible from the record.
Enforce it with a new doc-sync gate, scripts/verify-rfc-format.ts, and
normalize all 112 RFCs to it: ~15 Status-line spellings collapse to the
enum, 29 Context openers become Problem, the 39 legacy-format XXX debt
markers are resolved and banned from reappearing, proposal-era sections
in implemented RFCs are rewritten to shipped reality (including the
web/fs/subagent seam RFCs' migration plans and test checklists, closing
the doc-tiers deferred-work item on the web seam), every RFC gains an
Alternatives considered section or the grandfather comment, and the
bilingual pair is re-mirrored and re-recorded.
Move the generated index tables out of README.md into a fully generated
docs/rfc/INDEX.md — gen-rfc-index now writes the whole file, and
verify-rfc-classification checks its freshness and rejects index-shaped
rows in the curated README — which makes room for the format contract to
live in the README front door instead of a separate FORMAT.md.
The decision record, and the first RFC written in the new format, is
docs/rfc/implemented/process/2026-07-05-uniform-rfc-format.md.
The ACP bridge gives each session its own workspace (SessionHeader.cwd), and
dsh-tool-bash already resolves a bash workdir against it. But ctx.fs.resolve(path)
took no caller context and dsh-fs-local resolved every relative path against a
fixed config.cwd (process.cwd() at plugin load) — so in the ACP demo `write
foo.txt` and `bash cat foo.txt` hit different directories the moment an editor
opens any project other than the server's launch dir.
Thread the session cwd into resolution, mirroring dsh-tool-bash: widen
FileSystem.resolve to resolve(path, opts?: { cwd?: string }); dsh-fs-local bases
a relative path on opts.cwd ?? config.cwd (absolute paths ignore it); the
read/write/edit tools derive it via a shared sessionCwd(exec) helper
(exec.agent?.session.header.cwd). The provider stays free of dsh-agent/dsh-session
— the tool projects exec → cwd and hands over a plain string, per the
explicit-at-seams convention. Backward compatible (the arg is optional).
Tests: fs-local resolve(path,{cwd}) bases relative on the passed cwd / ignores it
for absolute; tool integration writes/reads/edits in a session cwd != config.cwd
and verifies the file on disk (proven to fail on the pre-fix no-cwd path). Fakes
that stood in a bare {session:{}} now carry a header so sessionCwd doesn't throw.

Rename per review naming decisions:
- package dsh-file-context → dsh-fs-policy (dir, package name, plugin name,
tsconfig refs, importers, type-equiv manifest, generated catalog + module-graph)
- events fs/write-expectation → fs/write-intent, fs/edit-expectation → fs/edit-intent
(fs/observed unchanged); type FsWriteExpectation → FsWriteIntent, "expectation"
wording → "intent" throughout
- exported FileContextExec → FsPolicyExec
Make the implemented RFCs describe what shipped, not the superseded designs:
the 2026-06-17 capability-seam + tool-schemas RFCs no longer place policy on
ctx.fs or use full/partial-view authorization, and the fsspec RFC's ctx.fileContext
service prose is rewritten to the fs/* event-gate reality (freshness-based auth).
Sharpen docs/rfc/implemented/AGENTS.md: a rename is a fact to fix IN PLACE — the
"new RFC" escape hatch is for macro decision reversals only, not renames.
Code fixes from review:
- fsio.ts resolveLocalTarget/probe translate ENOTDIR (a parent path segment is a
file) into the structured FsError taxonomy instead of leaking a raw Node error;
resolve reports FS_NOT_FOUND, probe reports absent. Regression tests proven to
fail on the unfixed code.
- tool-fs HMR test now asserts prompt sections (not just tool schemas) are
withdrawn on disposal.
- fs/observed is a plain (unguarded) ctx.emit: correct the fs-policy comment,
filesystem.md, and tool-fs module doc that wrongly claimed the tool "contains"
a throwing listener; a throw surfaces as the tool's isError result.
- drop the false "loaded by the default product config" claim (no config wires
the fs tools yet), the duplicate ctx.bash service-map row, the stale
FileReadRequest catalog link-map entry, and the fs/fs README EOF blank line;
correct the dsh-fs package.json description.
Invert the tool↔policy control flow per the file-context event-gate RFC.
dsh-tool-fs becomes the executor — it reads/writes/edits through ctx.fs
directly, owns read windowing, and dispatches fs/write-expectation /
fs/edit-expectation (single-slot waterfalls) plus a contained fs/observed
emit. dsh-file-context drops its ctx.fileContext service and becomes a pure
event-gate plugin (observed-state + read-before-edit + version-guarded
write/edit, decided on those events). The provider's version guard becomes
optional so ctx.fs alone is a complete unconstrained text-storage seam:
removing the policy plugin gracefully loses the policy instead of breaking
the tool at a service-injection boundary.
Implements the split-the-filesystem-seam RFC. ctx.fs shrinks to a text-storage
provider seam (resolve/stat/readText/streamText/writeText/editText with branded
FsTargetKey/FsVersion and an explicit FsWriteExpectation); the new
dsh-file-context package owns the model-facing policy (read windowing,
observed-state, write/edit freshness) as the concrete ctx.fileContext service.
Authorization is now freshness-based rather than full/partial view: a windowed
read records the file version and authorizes a later edit when the file is
unchanged, removing the dead-end where reading lines 100-150 of a large file
could not edit line 120. editText stays a provider primitive so version guard +
literal match + atomic rewrite remain one critical section, and the stale check
runs before matching so a stale edit reports FS_STALE_VERSION. tool-fs injects
fileContext, never reaching around to ctx.fs (the no-bypass contract).
