Four values complete the vocabulary, so the opaque body is reached only by
producers that genuinely promise no shape.
`snapshot` — current state a later snapshot supersedes. system-prompt now
exposes `renderContextSections()`, the named contributions
`renderContextSnapshot()` already joins for the model, so the body attributes
each part to the subsystem that produced it instead of re-splitting joined
prose. The runtime snapshot, time-context, and tmux-context declare it.
`notice` — a one-off account of what just happened, declared by tool-tasks,
goal state changes, tool-goal wrap-up, plan-mode switches, and
repeat-tool-guard. Its `summary` rides the COLLAPSED row: these five are the
majority of shipped producers and none of them needs expanding to be read.
The task summary bounds itself because its inputs are unbounded caller text.
`relay` — a message another agent addressed to this one; both subagent
sources declare it and the body names the sender above what it said.
`recall` — material lifted from another session's log. session-reference
needed no new field: its references already record retained and omitted
counts and the truncation flag, which the body shows first, because recalled
context is bounded on the way in.
`ContextFormed` is now discriminated by `form`, so a producer cannot declare
a shape without the facts that shape is presented from — a notice without its
summary, or a snapshot without its sections, fails to compile.
Only the two hook bridges stay opaque, by design: their content is whatever
an external program printed, so no shape can be promised for it. Unknown
kinds and unreadable records land there too.
Injected context reached the transcript as one anonymous shape whose
expanded body was the whole message serialized as inline JSON, so the
escaping collapsed the only readable part — the model-facing prose —
into a single line.
`MessageSource` gains an optional producer-declared `form`, a small
semantic vocabulary of information shapes independent of `kind`: kind
says who produced the context, form says what shape it is, so several
producers may share one presentation. Two values ship.
`instructions` (workspace-context) lists the reconciled files above
their text and keeps the `<system-reminder>` framing verbatim, because
the framing is part of what the model read. `catalog` moves dsh-tool-skill
off the shared plugin kind onto a `skill-catalog` source carrying the
published name/description entries, and the body lists those instead of
re-parsing `<available_skills>` out of the prose. Catalog identity moves
with it: the republish digest now covers the durable entries, deleting
the text-slicing that recovered them from a logged message.
Everything else renders the opaque body — the model-facing text with its
real line breaks, then the remaining provenance as fields. That is the
documented default, not a leftover: a resumed, forked, or foreign log
must render whether or not its producer is mounted here, which is why
the classification lives in the durable source rather than a client-side
table keyed by producer.
Resolve the agent-loop import conflict by retaining both durable request context and runtime policy context. Refresh the combined session fixtures and regenerate documentation catalogs. Mark PDF artifacts as binary so staged whitespace checks do not parse PDF bytes as text.
The native adapter's route was named deepseek, colliding with pi-ai's
catalog provider of the same name, so the two DeepSeek paths could never
be mounted side by side. The web settings page needs both configurable at
once. Compositions, fixtures, goldens, scaffolding defaults, and docs all
move together (pre-release, no shim); TUI/session-query-spill/
missing-credential goldens re-recorded through their keyless refresh
modes because provider-name length shifts box padding and spill
truncation points.
The simplified request path no longer anchors an unchanged request/header on
resume (agent.ts logs a header only when it differs from the folded baseline),
so resume-turn logs drop that event and later seqs shift down. Refresh the
keyless session-log fixtures to match; no model scripts changed.
The re-records for the SDK-prompt change had harvested live v4-pro
headers while every replay overlay pins v4-flash, so keyless replay
diverged on provenance; keyless refresh reconciles the affected
scenarios (dispatch-start pairs preserved).
The bridge replaces its serialization queue with a pool that reuses the
native concurrency contract: submissions classify through
registry.executionMode (fail-closed isConcurrencySafe), start strictly in
submission order, overlap up to the validated maxParallelSubCalls config
(default 10; 1 restores serial), and exclusive calls drain the pool, run
alone, and bar later calls. Each started sub-call logs a
tool/code-dispatch-start event at pool entry; the existing
tool/code-dispatch settles the pair (started ⇔ settles exactly once;
abandoned queued calls log neither). SDK prompt guidance now states the
true Promise.all contract — re-recorded across every code/both-mode
snapshot (plus the stale cordis-dynamic-toolchain fixture gaining the
required description arg).
Client: CodeSubCall widens to RunningToolCall | ToolResultNode — starts
land the running shape (rows wear the native running ring), settles
replace in place preserving start order, callTime pairs to the start
time. Fixture emits start/settle pairs; jsdom pins the running sub-row;
runtime specs pin in-place settlement and out-of-order completion.
run_code gains a required bash-style description parameter: presentCall
titles the card with it and moves the program to rawInput, so every
surface gets a readable label. tool/code-dispatch now logs each
sub-call's complete content/isError (the tool/result vocabulary),
replacing the bounded resultSummary and deleting the summarize/cwd
machinery — a UI renders sub-calls through the identical path as native
results. The dsh config tree mounts the worker code runtime and reads
DSH_TOOLS_MODE (temporary seam until per-session mode selection lands).
Session format stays v0 (pre-release churn). Code-mode ACP/TUI fixtures
re-recorded; TUI presenter pin refreshed; catalogs regenerated. Keyless
web smoke pins the code-mode wire contract (tools=[run_code] + SDK
prompt section).
Merge took master's snapshot fixtures; re-record the two keyless
scenarios so they reflect this branch's user/message coalescing and the
abstract Agent + AgentMessageId type dump.
- acp/headless whole-config snapshot patches restate persistenceCompression:
none so raw JSONL fixtures stay harvestable, and re-pin the recorded
deepseek-v4-flash where the shipped config moved to pro
- depth-two overlay gains the app-config re-pin master's other overlays carry
- headless-agent stays on flash: goal/ralph overlays include it via a nested
include, which a config patch cannot reach to re-pin
- workspace-context scenarios re-record their session fixtures for the
per-candidate scope keys and both-siblings loading; acp session fixtures
otherwise return to master's (session/title + delegationDepth events)
Delete packages/ui/stdio and examples/repl-agent; rename stdio-demo to
@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui-demo (TUI-only, refuses pipes before Loader boot).
tui-agent owns the coding composition inline; echo-agent and the CI demo
smoke move to the one-shot cli-demo bin, which gains -p/--prompt. The
UI-independent with-key e2es move verbatim to tui-agent. SDK wizard's
'stdio' interface becomes 'tui'. PTY testing stays confined to TUI
surfaces; all other subprocess tests ride pipes.

context/message previously defaulted to a <context source="…">…</context>
wrapper. No model is trained on a <context> tag either, and message
framing does not belong on the session surface: the surface projects the
durable log, and a caller that wants a frame formats its own content —
which the one heavy producer (workspace-context) already does with its own
<system-reminder> frame, opting out via 'raw'. The tag only added
machinery — ContextEnvelope plus an envelope field threaded through
InjectOptions, HookContext, the context/message event, and the agent-loop
inject/additionalContexts plumbing.
context/message now projects its content verbatim as a user-role message,
sharing one deriveEventMessage case with user/message and steering/message.
ContextEnvelope and every envelope field are removed; context/message.meta
still carries durable, model-hidden JSON state. Regenerated catalogs and
website API; refreshed the three affected keyless snapshots (envelope field
only; timestamps unchanged).
Broadens and renames the steering Agent Note to cover both envelope
removals as one decision.
