The web GUI's folder picking was hardwired to one interaction: a native
OS chooser compiled into the gateway, unusable for remote deployments
and swappable only by editing apiproxy source.
Directory picking becomes a three-package capability seam in
packages/host: ctx.directoryPicker returns a discriminated capability —
dialog (the extracted native chooser; host-display only) or browse
(new: one-level listing + child creation over Node stdlib, hidden flags
host-stamped, symlinks followed, ancestry crumbs; remote-capable). The
gateway injects the seam, advertises the kind via
host.describe.directoryPicker, serves host.listDirectory /
host.createDirectory under browse, and answers
directory-picker-unavailable across kinds. cordis.yml is the swap
point; apps/cli keeps dialog mounted, so behavior is unchanged until
the in-app browser PR flips the default. The connection fixture serves
a deterministic browse tree; WorkspacesService gains the browse calls
the browser UI will drive. Decision record:

The remote side re-merged master (i18n workflow round) and restored the
pre-architecture ModelSelector package with the Session-side state
machine. Reconciliation keeps that merge's master content and reasserts
this branch's model architecture: business state lives in ui-model's
shared per-session directory (ctx.models), not on Session/
ConversationSnapshot; the input.model seat entry and the /model popup
stay the two same-source entries; the history modelTarget piggyback stays
removed. The ui-model-selector package, its roster row, and its allowlist
entry go; the smoke-real roster names ui-model.
- ui-model README pair (short-form Model Experience + audited registry
entry + Known Limitations), recorded in the pairing manifest
- llm-deepseek README pair rebased onto master's version with this PR's
real deltas (friendly names, 256k, selector consumers) on both sides;
runtime/ui-conversation READMEs revert to master (their sections
documented the removed Session state machine and control slot)
- config catalog regenerated for the ui-model roster row
- ModelDirectory.store JSDoc; ui-model files join the TODO(gui) coverage
deferral lane beside their ui-command/ui-slash siblings
- unused SessionId import and an unnecessary assertion in ui-model
- two over-length fake-api lines split
- trigger chrome calibrated against figma 313:14108's ToggleButton
(13/20 medium secondary at 28px; chevron in label-caption = the mock's
#ADB2B8; the mock's leading icon is invisible there, so the seat has
none, and its 'High' effort text has no wire concept to render)
An omitted `todos` on a tail request was treated as "no projection carried"
and preserved the prior value. Every installWindow caller is a tail request
(doOpen, its gap re-pull, repairGap; loadOlder prepends without it), which the
host answers with the full-log projection or omits only when the log holds no
todo/write — so the field's absence is the authoritative empty list. A live
write whose host crashed before persisting therefore left the rolled-back plan
on screen indefinitely; the assignment now clears it on the next open or
resync. Widened the parameter to an explicit `| undefined` so the two meanings
cannot be conflated again, and updated the JSDoc at both declaring seams plus
the bilingual README/note pair.
- host trio kept on the merged api-proxy: session.models (provider-grouped
advisory directory), session.selectModel (validated provider, advisory
model), installAgentLlmTarget threaded through create/resume/ensureSession;
the gateway declares the llm inject it reads
- history no longer piggybacks modelTarget: the current target travels on
session.models alone (the /model popup is the sole consumer)
- new @deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-model plugin: /model popupSelect over the
wire — options load the directory (group label in the detail column,
provider-local failures listed inline), onSelect routes selectModel;
failures ride the popup shell's error/retry surface
- ModelSelector package, conversation.composer.control slot, and the
Session-side modelSelection state machine are removed: model selection
belongs to the /model popup; the named conversation.input.model seat
stays empty until a control-seat entry is designed for it
The master merge committed the i18n.yaml with unresolved conflict hunks
(carried over from the adapt branch's own master merge); re-recorded via
verify-translation-pairing --write. 518 pairs consistent.
The session/queued frame no longer carries steering — AgentMessage no longer
has the field. The client derives it from the same ordered turn boundaries the
host saw (a frame arriving while a turn is open joined the steering FIFO).
- Extract the shared New Session action into WorkspacesService.startSession
(sidebar button and workspace browser both delegate; recent-Workspace
targeting and the no-workspace clear live in one place).
- Fold the chip-insertion transaction shared by insert-ref and paste-upgrade
into one InputMachine helper.
- Share the fixture's session-not-found guard across the sessionId-addressed
catalog routes.
- Drop the AppFrame baselines-ready loading gate (user ruling: the bare
status line reads worse than the shell's own pending rendering); both
column occupants mount from first paint.
- Mount WorkspacesService.startInitialSelection in the runtime apply (the
one-shot baseline follower shipped in 98633b5aa without a caller): a
restored current session wins, an explicit clear stays cleared, a failed
connect retries on the next baseline projection.
- Cover the policy in client-apply and the assembled workspace-flow
snapshot; startup now lands in the recent Workspace's blank session, so
the draft-carry scenario starts from the hero directly.
- Bring docs along: startup-selection paragraphs in the session-scope RFC
note (both languages), bilingual README pairs for the four new client
packages, doc-graph regeneration with client-declared events exempt from
the dispatcher requirement (client dispatch sites are structurally
invisible to the host-side ts.Program), and pairing re-records.
- Keep ConversationSession mounted for blank sessions (chrome-less) so the
draft-persistence mirror stays bound in the hero; hero typing reaches the
chat store again.
- Restore the baselines-ready gate in AppFrame: empty boot snapshots no
longer flash the New Workspace hero before either baseline lands.
- Commit ordinary sends through the machine (send-committed event +
Shell.commitSend): undo can no longer resurrect already-sent content on
the default-sink path.
- Give the production InputMachine a real wall clock so the typing-run
merge window actually expires.
- Coalesce concurrent connectWorkspace creates per workspace: the summary
has no cwd until the host frame lands, so a second New Session inside
that window minted a duplicate hidden blank session.
eslint --fix autofixes plus manual repairs: max-len line splits
(fake-api handlers, notifier/slots JSDoc, spec signatures), charAt over
non-null-asserted indexing in slash detect/menu cores, Array.from for
code-point capping, typeof assertions for unbound-method in specs,
generic getByRole for the send-button cast, effect disposer void-wrap in
command register, and dropped unused type imports.
master's bilingual README pairing (new since this branch forked) covers
packages/core/tools and packages/client/runtime, whose EN sides this PR
edits. Translate the scheduling-contract sentences (bridge pool, SDK
overlap line, loop cross-reference, codeDispatches lifecycle) into the zh
sides — including the verbatim shared model-facing block — and re-record
both pairing records.
Conflict resolution: session.ts keeps this branch's paired-start callTime
(the start event exists here; a settle-only window stays null — the PR2
fix's semantics compose). The README's codeDispatches section is restored
to the running→settled lifecycle this branch implements, keeping PR2's
null-callTime nuance for starts outside the window.
Responding to ds-review-bot round 2 on #653: the tool/code-dispatch event
is appended at settlement, so using its time as callTime fabricated a
zero-duration call for duration-aware consumers — it is now null (start
unknown) per the ToolResultNode contract, pinned in the session spec. The
README's codeDispatches section described the PR3 running→settled
lifecycle a stack ahead of this tree; it now documents the settled-only
index this PR ships (the running shape lands with the start event in
#658, which already merges cleanly over this).
Responding to ds-review-bot on #664 (root cause lives here): when a history
window carries a tool/code-dispatch settle without its paired start, the
runtime fabricated callTime = settle time, so downstream duration views
presented a measured 0 ms. Match the native tool-result contract instead —
callTime: null = unknown — and pin it; the trajectory cell already renders
null as the em dash, and the waterfall gains explicit unknown handling in
its own PR.
