A restriction was compiled against the global tool layer alone: only
global-layer tools were tested against `admits()`, and every chain-layer
tool was overlaid unfiltered afterward. That read the exempt set as "the
global layer" when what it means is "what this scope registers itself" —
two descriptions of the same set only while every model-facing tool sat in
the host composition.
Moving those rows onto the agent plane separated them. A preset's tools are
an ANCESTOR contribution to a joined agent, so a subagent's `toolFilter`
stopped constraining anything it was given; and with the global layer empty
`restrict()` rejected every name it received as unknown, failing the child
outright. With the same tools in the global layer the filter still admits
and applies normally, which is what makes this a regression of the move
rather than a standing limitation.
`view()` now filters everything a scope inherits — the global layer and
every ancestor layer on its chain — and exempts only the layer the scope
owns. That exemption is load-bearing rather than incidental: the delegation
runtime registers a child's `report` and structured-output tools into the
child's own layer, and a filter naming the capabilities the child may use
must not strip the machinery it answers through. Tool order, and with it
prefix-cache reuse, is unchanged: inherited names keep their global-then-
ancestor position and own-layer names still come last.
The diagnostic said "unknown global tool" while listing what is really the
inherited surface; it now names the surface it checks and says why an
own-layer name is not restrictable.

`session.create` also adopts an already-live session, and the preceding
commit newly allows adopting one under the preset it switched to while
blank. Its response still echoed `header.agentPreset`, so that adoption
answered with the preset the session had just left — contradicting the
request it had accepted and the row `session.list` serves for the same
session from `resolveSessionPreset()`. The echo now resolves the same way.
The `assertPresetUnchanged` parameter doc said `existing` was the preset
the session was created under; both callers now pass what it runs.
`composeFrom()` was documented as "infallible" and "cannot fail" beside two
`@throws`. It has no composition failure mode — no roster read, no mount, no
file — but it does reject a caller error, and the wording now says which.
The package-level "switched preset" test re-linked to the same preset id,
so it could not tell reading the parent's live scope chain from reading its
creation header. A second fixture preset makes the switch real.
The Web browser lane's subagent goldens gain the preset badge a child now
shows, which is the visible consequence of recording its composition. That
lane runs only under DSH_EXAMPLE_MODE=lib and was missed before.
The Agent Note records two limits found in review: a cold-resumed
continuable child joins its parent's current composition rather than the one
its header names, and `toolFilter` does not constrain a joined child. The
latter is a regression from the agent-plane move rather than anything this
change introduces — with the same tools in the global layer the filter
applies normally — and is tracked in #2185.

Tool and prompt-section visibility is inherited along dsh-scope's parent
chain, and an agent's scope key is minted with no parent. Per-session agent
presets moved every model-facing row onto the agent plane and made
AgentPresets.mount() the one thing that binds that link, from the api-proxy's
session create, resume, and fork paths. The two in-process subagent drivers
installed only the per-child persona and tool filter, so a child's scope chain
had length one and its registry view resolved the global layer alone — which
is empty wherever a preset roster is composed. One-shot children reached the
model with no tools, continuable ones with only the host-plane `report`, and
neither carried its parent's persona, workspace context, or skill catalog.
AgentPresets.composeFrom() joins one agent to the standing composition another
already runs on. It is a bind, not a mount: the child gets its parent's exact
generation, so a composition edited since the parent started cannot fork it
onto another one, and it is synchronous, which is what lets a child creation
window use it. applyChildComposition() now takes the parent and performs the
join first, making a child composed without it unrepresentable at the call
sites. childSessionMeta() records the joined id so a cold read rebuilds the
composition the child actually ran under.
The audit that followed found two api-proxy readers on the wrong authority:
presenterScopeFor() and the live-agent branch of assertPresetUnchanged() both
read header.agentPreset, which goes stale the moment a blank session switches
preset. A switched session's cold transcript resolved presenters in the older
composition's layer and silently degraded to generic cards, and the gateway
refused to adopt a live session under the preset it actually runs while
accepting the one it left. Both now resolve through resolveSessionPreset(),
matching the resume branch fifteen lines above. The owning architecture Agent
Note carried the stale claim that the header records what a session runs; it
is corrected to name the header/log pair and its three readers.
Fixes#2165
One host registry serves every composition in the process, so its two
service-wide collections answered per-owner questions process-wide. `start()`
asked only whether SOME surface was attached, so an agent whose own composition
loads no `tool-tasks` could start work it has no tool to collect or stop as soon
as any other preset attached one — and the answer changed depending on which
sessions happened to be open. `settle()` walked every registered listener, so a
task settling without a waiter injected one completion notice per mounted
preset into the same owner.
Both collections now sit in `ScopedLayers`, the layered-registry primitive
`tools` and `skills` already use: a registration files into its registering
context's scope, and a read unions the global layer with the owner's scope
chain. A surface or listener registered from an unscoped context lands in the
global layer and serves every owner, which is exactly the host-plane
composition's own controls, so the TUI path is unchanged without a special
case.
This supersedes the consumer-side filter in the previous commit. That filter
produced the right notices but sat in the wrong layer: it left the `start()`
gate process-wide, it could not be enforced against a producer that resolves
the registry directly, and it made a Consumer carry scope knowledge that the
other layered registries keep in the registry. `tool-tasks` is scope-agnostic
again and the `dsh-scope` edge moves to `tasks-local`.
`start()`'s refusal is now owner-relative, so its model-visible text names the
agent rather than the process. The shipped `minimal` preset keeps
`enableRunInBackground: false`, no longer as the safety boundary — the registry
owns that now — but so an agent that could never collect a task is not offered
the parameter at all.
Refs #2141
A continuable background child (the default backgroundMode for both
delegation tools) never received the parent session's explicit
sandbox/approval overrides: materialization applied only child
composition, so a danger-full-access parent produced workspace-write
children whose every out-of-workspace operation raised an approval
prompt.
Move the one-shot driver's capture/append pair into the shared
child-agent module (captureDelegatedPolicyOverrides /
appendDelegatedPolicyOverrides) and call it from both paths:
startContinuable captures before its first await, only fresh
materialization appends the source-tagged events (after any fork seed),
and a cold resume replays the persisted delegation events instead of
re-capturing the parent.
Adds the continuable inheritance unit suite, the ACP snapshot scenario
subagent-continuable-inheritance (fails without the fix), the
continuable policy-inheritance Agent Note, and the seam-level README
contract, with bilingual counterparts.
Fixes#1692
A max-tokens step that assembled only tool-call blocks appends an
EMPTY-content assistant/message (the usage host). Three consumers each
hand-rolled output selection and all let it erase the child's real
answer: the in-process readResult and the Activation subagent/end
capture took the last message unfiltered, and the SDK backend let any
message beat its streamed-text fallback; the in-process driver also had
no streamed-text fallback for cancelled turns.
dsh-subagent now owns the canonical rule in src/assistant-output.ts
(last non-empty assistant message, else the accumulated text-delta
stream) and all three consumers apply it. Regression tests in all three
packages fail under the previous selections.
Closes#1514
The skills subsystem page and dsh-skill README describe the host+per-scope
layers, SkillViewOptions joins the type-equiv corpus and the cordis-catalog
type pages, generated catalogs pick up the shifted source refs, and the
architecture Agent Note records the decision, the nearest-layer-wins
precedence choice, and the rejected alternatives.
Purge the residual task/phase ordinals review caught ((T2), (queue cut 1)
×3, T6, P-I, 'this cut' ×6 including battery-expansion finds in two
untouched notes and a workflow JSDoc); drop the 'externally logged as
Decision 21' parenthetical and rename the remaining bare decision-21
mentions; mark the gui-layering IPC bridge row as a hypothetical example;
restore the GATE_NOTICE doc-typecheck clause and the py-types 'measured'
provenance; say subprocess-backed in filesystem.md; add the picker note
path. Amend the citations note: merged-PR evidence anchors in Agent Notes
are sanctioned, and the candidate gate patterns gain the four shapes the
sweep missed. All nine touched pairs re-recorded.
