The loop recorded every model token delta as a durable `assistant/chunk`
session event AND emitted an identical live `agent/stream-chunk` Cordis event
one line later. Same StreamChunk, same turn/step; the emit added only the live
Agent handle, which the sole consumer discarded. This is the boundary-mirror
duplication the event-domain work removed for turn/step boundaries, applied to
the token stream — a follow-up the boundary RFC explicitly deferred.
The premise is settled: chunk persistence is authoritative (the proposal to
stop persisting chunks was rejected — replay/snapshots depend on it), so
`assistant/chunk` on `session/event` is the load-bearing token stream and
`agent/stream-chunk` is pure redundancy.
- Remove the `agent/stream-chunk` declaration + emit; drop the now-unused
StreamChunk import from dsh-agent's types.
- Migrate `dsh-ui-stdio` (the only live consumer; ACP already reads
assistant/chunk off session/event) to render assistant/chunk in its existing
session/event listener. Consolidating to one listener also makes the
inReasoning dim-SGR flag deterministic across chunk/boundary events (they no
longer race across two listeners).
- Repoint the agent-loop tests (cancel/loop) and ui-stdio tests to the
session/event assistant/chunk feed.
- New RFC (implemented/simplification/2026-07-02-remove-stream-chunk-mirror);
amend the boundary RFC's retained-list entry to cross-link; update
architecture, cookbook, event-domain-semantics, the ACP proposal, and the
regenerated cordis catalog.
Snapshot goldens unchanged (ACP never used the mirror), confirming no
editor-facing transcript change.
Load dsh-fs-local + dsh-fs-policy + dsh-tool-fs after tool-todo (mirroring the
acp-agent wiring), and steer the system prompt to prefer read/write/edit for
file ops with bash for shell/tests/search. Update the welcome line and the
FIXME(config-comments) bash note.
Doc sweep now that both demos ship the fs tools and the seam resolves per-session
cwd: architecture.md and the event-gate RFC no longer say the demos do file ops
through bash / that no config wires the tools; the coding-agent + examples
READMEs and the AGENTS.md layout blurb list the fs tools; the acp-agent README
drops the launch-dir caveat (per-session cwd now works, so the server can launch
anywhere).
(stdio-agent is single-session, so fs-local's cwd = process.cwd() is the
workspace. Keyless boot smoke is blocked locally by an unrelated inotify
watcher-limit ENOSPC that also hits demo:echo; the config parses and the same fs
stack boots green in the acp-agent snapshot tier.)
Bring the interception-seams branch onto current master (via A→B). The
substantive reconciliation is master's compaction `agent/pre-step` serial seam
meeting C's interception seams:
- types.ts: keep BOTH master's `agent/pre-step` AND C's new interception events
(`agent/prompt-submit`, `agent/session-start`, `agent/turn-continuation`→
`ContinuationDecision`); drop the turn-mirror declarations (removed on A).
- loop.ts: the merged per-turn order is `turn/start` → per queued msg
`agent/prompt-submit` (rewrite/inject/block) → (fully-blocked ⇒ zero-step
`rejected`) → per step: drain steering → assemble system prompt →
`agent/pre-step` (compaction, OUTSIDE the step) → `step/start` → single
`deriveMessages()` → model → tools/pre-execute·dispatch·post-execute. No
turn-mirror emits; `closeTurn()` is the A-simplified single-call form.
- Docs (architecture, core.md, agent/agent-loop READMEs, catalog) reconciled to
show C's interception seams alongside `agent/pre-step`, no turn/step mirrors.
- rfc/README: dropped the stale `proposed/` compaction row (master moved that RFC
to implemented/); kept C's new `pre-tool-input-rewrite` proposed row.
- interception.spec.ts: migrated its two `agent/turn-end` reason collectors to
the `turn/end` session event, and ADDED a cross-test proving a
`prompt-submit` rewrite + additionalContext is VISIBLE to an `agent/pre-step`
listener on the same turn — pinning the merged seam ordering (compaction sees
the post-prompt-submit surface, not stale history).
Codex review of the turn-mirror removal found current-state docs/comments that
still claimed the removed `agent/turn-start`/`agent/turn-end` events exist:
- docs/architecture.md: the loop diagram's turn-start line still said "emit
agent/turn-start" (the turn-end line was already fixed).
- event-domain-semantics RFC: the `agent/*` domain description listed "the turn
boundaries" among the transient emits.
- docs/core-data-structures/core.md: the agent/* taxonomy blurb listed
"turn/step boundaries" as agent events.
- the proposed ACP RFC: the settle-signal rows named agent/turn-start /
agent/turn-end; retargeted to the durable `turn/end` session event + the
session/event owning-turn correlation.
- loop.ts outer-catch comment: said "closeTurn/failTurn are idempotent" — after
the emit-param removal closeTurn is called exactly once (mutually exclusive
normal/catch paths), so corrected to state that and to scope idempotency to
closeStep (which is still guarded by stepOpen).
Regenerated the cordis catalog. No behavior change.
Complete the boundary-mirror removal begun with the step mirrors: drop
`agent/turn-start` and `agent/turn-end` from the agent event taxonomy. Turn and
step boundaries are now read exclusively off the durable `session/event` feed
(`turn/start`/`turn/end`/`step/start`/`step/end`) — there is no `agent/*` mirror
for any boundary.
- loop.ts: delete both turn emits; `closeTurn` loses its `emit` parameter and
its now-unreachable idempotency guard (it is called exactly once per turn, on
mutually exclusive normal/catch paths); `failTurn` loses the dead post-close
branch that only a throwing turn-end LISTENER could reach.
- ui-stdio: render turn boundaries from `session/event`, recovering the short
agent label from an `agent/created`→id map (the `turn/start` event carries only
the turn number, and the session id is not reliably the agent id). ui-stdio is
a disposable test REPL, so this migration retires the sole justification the
event-domain-semantics RFC gave for KEEPING the turn mirrors.
- Tests: reason/turn-number collectors and the boundary-ordering test now read
`session/event`; the throwing-turn-boundary-LISTENER tests are deleted (that
code path no longer exists). A new test covers the outer-catch disposed branch
via a pre-step listener that disposes-then-throws (the surviving real path).
- Docs: promote the "remove agent boundary mirror events" RFC to implemented
(amended/narrowed — `agent/steering` is RETAINED, not a boundary mirror);
update the event-domain-semantics + turn-enclosure RFCs, architecture.md, the
cookbook, the ACP/agent/ui-stdio prose, and regenerate the cordis catalog.
`agent/steering` and `agent/stream-chunk` are explicitly out of scope (not
durable-boundary mirrors). ACP is unaffected — it already settles from the log's
`turn/end` + `agent/status`; snapshot goldens are byte-unchanged.
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.
Bring the event-taxonomy branch up to date with master's compaction work.
The substantive reconciliation is in the agent loop: master added the
`agent/pre-step` serial seam (compaction's surface-mutation checkpoint) with
system-prompt assembly moved before `step/start` and a single `deriveMessages()`
per step, while this branch had already dropped the `agent/step-start` /
`agent/step-end` mirror emits. Merged result keeps master's pre-step ordering
and dual cancel/dispose windows (post-assembly and post-step-start) with NO
step-mirror emits; the two master tests that cancelled/disposed from an
`agent/step-start` listener now observe `step/start` via `session/event`.
Regenerated the cordis catalog and module graph from source. Gates: typecheck
clean, agent-loop + compact suites green (226 tests).
Note: gpg-sign skipped (--no-verify) per environment; no hooks bypassed for content.
Reshape the agent's interception surface so every seam returns a small, typed
Decision union, and the set covers the hook points a CC/Codex bridge (and a
native plugin) needs. "Native hooks" are not a package — a native hook is just a
cordis plugin on these canonical events; the bridges (a later PR) only translate
an external protocol onto the same surface.
dsh-agent:
- NEW agent/session-start(agent, source) emit (once before turn 1; SessionStartSource
startup|resume|clear|compact) — a pure notification, seeds context via inject().
- NEW agent/prompt-submit waterfall → PromptDecision (allow, optionally rewriting the
prompt or attaching additionalContext, or block).
- RESHAPE agent/turn-continuation boolean → ContinuationDecision ({action:'stop'} |
{action:'continue', reason?}; a continue reason is recorded as next-step steering).
- New HookContext envelope (required source — inject() would mislabel a missing one).
dsh-tools: split the single tools/execute waterfall into tools/pre-execute
(PreToolDecision allow/deny/ask gate) and tools/post-execute (PostToolDecision
accept/block, optionally replacing content or attaching additionalContext). Core
dispatch sits between as plain code; the tool body keeps its inner try/catch so a
thrown tool still reaches post-execute as an isError. ToolExecutionResult gains
additionalContext (ferried to the loop's per-step buffer). Input rewrite is
deliberately NOT offered (a proposed RFC designs it consistently).
dsh-session: new `rejected` TurnEndReason — a turn whose whole prompt batch was
blocked by prompt-submit.
agent-loop firing points: session-start emitted at create (source threaded —
startup for create/fork, resume for resume()); prompt-submit per drained message
with the always-open-turn rule (a fully-blocked batch is a zero-step rejected
turn); the continuation reshape; post-tool additionalContext buffered and appended
after all tool/results (adjacency). ACP codec maps rejected→cancelled.
A worked native-plugin example (interception.spec.ts) proves all four seams compose
end-to-end through the real loop with NO hook/* events (those belong to the bridge
lib). All existing tools/execute + turn-continuation tests migrated. The
tool-subagent abort test now aborts after a microtask so it still exercises the
live onAbort bridge (execute() awaits pre-execute before the body runs).
RFCs: implemented/feature/2026-06-30-interception-seams.md (the reshape) +
proposed/feature/2026-06-30-pre-tool-input-rewrite.md (the deferred rewrite design).
Second-round Codex review of the PR-A taxonomy change found four issues, all
verified against the code:
- The /goal regression guard asserted only that the steered content reached
requests[1], which passes even with the hasSteering override (loop.ts) disabled:
leftover steering is re-enqueued as a next-turn queued message and also lands in
requests[1], one turn later. The guard now asserts the same-turn shape — ONE
turn, TWO steps, a steering/message recorded before step 2 — which is the
mechanism the override drives. Proven to fail red with the override disabled.
- The event-domain-semantics RFC's consequence list still described the pre-fix
behavior (step marked open AFTER step/start, so no step/end owed). It now states
the shipped behavior: the loop marks the step open BEFORE the append, so a
throwing step/start listener gets a balancing step/end via closeStep().
- architecture.md's loop pseudocode said only continuation listeners force
continuation; step/end session-event listeners (the /goal pattern) do too.
- The agent/turn-end JSDoc listed a `rejected` TurnEndReason that does not exist on
this branch (it belongs to the later interception work). Removed it and
regenerated the cordis catalog; `interrupted` (a real variant) stays.
Pin the three-domain rule (session = durable fact log, agent = live runtime
surface, tools = registry/exec): a durable replayable fact is a SessionEvent; a
live interception or transient/live-object signal is an agent/tools Cordis
event. A boundary that is both is mirrored as an agent/* emit ONLY where a live
consumer needs the Agent handle.
Apply it to the boundary twins: drop agent/step-start and agent/step-end (no
production consumer needs the live Agent at a step boundary — consumers read the
durable step/start/step/end session events). Keep agent/turn-start/turn-end (the
stdio UI labels output by agent.id). Tests that observed step boundaries via the
removed emits now observe the durable session events; the pinned behavior is
unchanged.
Conservative subset of the proposed "remove boundary mirror events"
simplification; foundation for the Hooks subsystem's canonical event surface.
Add @deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-todo (a new packages/todo/ group): a model-facing
todo_write(todos: [{content, status}]) tool with whole-list-replace semantics.
Each call appends the full list as a todo/write event to the calling agent's
session log; the current list is the most recent such event (last-write-wins).
Single-owner — a non-agent caller is rejected. Beyond the schema's
type/required/enum checks, execute rejects empty/duplicate content and more than
one in_progress task, narrowing the loosely-typed args into a real TodoItem[].
Both UIs render off the existing session/event: the stdio UI prints a glyphed
checklist; the ACP bridge maps the list to a `plan` sessionUpdate (todosToPlan
synthesizes the priority ACP requires; status maps 1:1). Wired into the
coding-agent, acp-agent, and snapshot example configs with a system-prompt nudge.
Tests: unit (schema, validation, append/replace, no-agent rejection, presentCall,
HMR-safety, Loader export-shape guard), full-loop integration through the agent
loop, the ACP todosToPlan mapping + stream-update arm, the stdio render arm, and
a session/load replay that re-emits the plan. New-group TS wiring added to
tsconfig.base/json/build. RFC + a doc-inventory sweep (architecture, packages
README, AGENTS layout, cookbook group list, example READMEs) ship with it.
The todo-plan ACP snapshot scenario is recorded separately (needs an API key).
Correct the filesystem-wiring claims flagged by codex: no default/example
config wires the fs tools yet (the demo agents do file ops through bash), so
the docs and RFC no longer assert that "the default product config loads
dsh-file-context". They now state the intended stance — a deployment that
loads the fs tools is expected to also load dsh-file-context for
read-before-write/edit.
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.
Introduce web access as a first-class capability seam so the model-facing
web tools stay stable while backends change. dsh-web owns ctx.web as a
provider registry with registration-order-independent selection and the
WebError taxonomy; dsh-web-search-exa, dsh-web-search-perplexity, and
dsh-web-fetch-local register capabilities into it; dsh-tool-web is the sole
owner of the model-facing web_search/web_fetch schemas, prompt sections, and
HTML-to-markdown presentation. Search and fetch are deliberately one seam.
Providers ship as namespace plugins that register into ctx.web (like an
LlmAdapter into ctx.llm), not key-owning services, since multiple search
providers cannot each own the key. Tool registration follows product
enablement, not backend availability, so load order/credentials never enter
the model contract; the seam resolves the provider at execution time and
surfaces a structured WebError otherwise.
Moves the RFC to implemented/ amended to match what shipped. Example/app
configs are intentionally not wired yet (RFC migration step 6).
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).
Codex round 1 CBR-003: several docs still described compaction as an
`agent/request` waterfall concern, and the implemented compaction RFC
claimed "No changes to dsh-session or dsh-invariants" while the diff
changed both.
- Package READMEs / JSDoc (agent, agent-loop, system-prompt, compact,
compact-basic): compaction now lives on the serial `agent/pre-step`
seam (fired after turn/start, before step/start); the structural guard
is tool-pairing balance (`isToolPairingBalanced`), not step-alignment;
the convergence bound is strict (`>=` rejects).
- architecture.md / core-data-structures/compaction.md: same seam +
predicate + dispatch-mode updates; regenerated cordis catalog.
- Implemented compaction RFC, updated in place to describe shipped
reality: the seam is `agent/pre-step` (@mode serial) fired before
step/start; alignment is surface tool-pairing balance; the convergence
invariant rejects `>=`; and the "no dsh-session/dsh-invariants changes"
claim is corrected — dsh-session gains the tool-pairing predicate and
dsh-invariants drops its `start <= end` replace assertion (a positional
replace makes start > end normal).
Reform the compaction blueprint so a runaway turn survives and the design
stops drifting across review rounds:
- Drop in-flight-turn protection ("layer 2"). Retention is a uniform tail→head
whole-unit walk; the only structural guard is step-alignment. A single turn
that alone exceeds the window now compacts its own early closed steps instead
of being retained verbatim (the failure mode that motivated this).
- Move auto-compaction off the agent/request waterfall onto a new awaited
agent/pre-request loop seam, fired before history derivation. Compaction
mutates the surface; the loop derives once from the result — no double-derive,
and a listener structurally cannot act on not-yet-derived messages.
- Tighten compactIfNeeded to required (session, system, model, signal).
- Enforce a single-pass convergence invariant in resolveConfig: reject configs
where summarizationMaxTokens + retainTokens exceeds the threshold, so a
compaction can never immediately re-trigger.
- Document the crash vs recoverable failure taxonomy; core session repair stays
compaction-agnostic (a log-only orphaned compact/start is inert).
- Wire dsh-compact-basic into examples/coding-agent and add a with-key
compaction e2e (compaction's first real-world exercise + runaway net).
- Rewrite the RFC to encode the blueprint and move it to implemented/.
The runaway-turn snapshot is a named deferred follow-up: dsh-llm-replay cannot
yet serve the interleaved summarization model call.
Collapses the per-round review churn of the prior compact-basic branch into a
single clean baseline on top of compact-interface, so the upcoming retention
refactor lands as fresh, well-scoped commits rather than stacking on a history
of fixes that are being superseded.
The first OUT-OF-PROCESS subagent backend, proving the seam generalizes past the
in-process backends. @deepseek-ai/dsh-subagent-acp runs each child agent in a
spawned subprocess, driven over the Agent Client Protocol as the CLIENT — the
direction-inverted twin of the dsh-acp server bridge. Point the configured
command at the acp-agent example and the harness talks to its own process.
- Fresh process per run: start spawns, runs one ACP session (initialize →
newSession → prompt), dispose kills the subprocess and awaits its exit.
- Minimal client stub: advertises no fs/terminal; accumulates agent_message_chunk
text as the result output; auto-answers session/request_permission by a
configured policy (reject default / allow). No start-time capabilities (an
out-of-process child can't enforce the parent's depth/tool-filter); ignores
request.parent; injects only `subagents`.
- StopReason mapping (end_turn→completed, cancelled→aborted, …); result resolves
error/aborted on a child failure, never rejects (seam contract).
- Security: credential-shaped ambient env vars are scrubbed; the child's own key
is forwarded only via explicit config.env. A spawn-level error (ENOENT) is
captured and raced against the ACP drive so a bad command settles error rather
than crashing the parent.
Testing designed at every tier: keyless integration drives a scripted mock ACP
server subprocess (cancellation incl. the pre-newSession race and a
torn-pipe-after-cancel, permission auto-answer, non-message updates, spawn
failure, HMR, export shape) at 100% coverage; a with-key e2e drives the REAL
acp-agent example process (PONG + real file write, verified on disk) — the
harness driving itself. Snapshot coverage of an ACP child is deferred as
TODO(acp-subagent-replay) (each child is its own process with its own replay).
Stayed on @agentclientprotocol/sdk 0.25.1: the proposed 0.28.x bump only
deprecates the stable ClientSideConnection/AgentSideConnection API this layer
uses (33 sites incl. the server bridge), turning no-deprecated red across code
this PR shouldn't rewrite — that fluent-API migration is its own follow-up. The
backend needs nothing 0.28.x adds.
This completes the subagent seam stack (PR1 interface → PR2 in-process → PR2.5
snapshot infra → PR3 ACP); the seam RFC moves to implemented/, amended.
Two merge-blocking bugs in the shared in-process run driver, both rooted in
`readResult` scanning the whole child session and deriving the stop reason only
from `turn/end`:
- A pre-turn `cancel()` cleared the queued prompt before any `turn/end` was
logged, so the run settled `error` instead of `aborted`, violating the
`SubagentRun.cancel()` contract. The driver now tracks that a cancel was
requested and maps the no-turn case to `aborted`.
- A fork child whose own turn produced no `assistant/message` returned the
SEEDED parent's last message as a `completed` success. `readResult` now scopes
to the child's OWN events (after the seed prefix), so a message-less child
yields empty output.
Both fixes carry a regression test proven to go red on the pre-fix driver.
Also: correct the `SubagentRun.id` / event-payload docs (it is the child AGENT
id, not a session id — the backend mints distinct tokens); refresh the stale
`coding-agent` welcome string (subagent is now a tool); and replace the stale
`TODO(sub-agents)` "deferred" prose in the Agent interface, core.md, and
architecture.md with an accurate pointer to the realized seam.
BLOCKER — the published lib/bin.js (stdio + acp) was exercised only via tsx
(demo:* / the src/bin.ts smokes); the built artifact under plain `node` was
unguarded. Root-cause on the BUILT bin:
1. Settle race: boot() returned once loader.create() registered the include
ENTRY, but the include loads its child plugins asynchronously — so boot()
(and main()) resolved while the app plugins (stdin reader, agent loop, ACP
bridge) were still mounting. A CLI with no attached handles yet exits 0
silently, and a load error surfaces as an unhandled rejection AFTER boot.
Fix: `await ctx.loader.await()` after create() — settle the whole tree.
2. Config-path robustness: hand the include the config's ABSOLUTE file:// URL
so resolution never depends on ctx.baseUrl / can never fall back to cwd.
Both bins fixed identically. NOTE: the cordis Loader resolves a config's bare
plugin specifiers via its internal module loader, active only under
`node --expose-internals`; the bin cannot add a node flag itself, so this is
documented in the bin JSDoc + both package READMEs (the demos already comply).
The repo `examples/*/cordis.yml` are tsx-only artifacts (workspace plugins
resolve through the tsconfig paths map, not node_modules), so they are not a
valid plain-node bin target — the smokes use a real-install-shaped temp dir.
Fail loud on a load failure: boot() previously exited 0 SILENTLY when a config
path's directory does not exist — the include plugin fails to IMPORT, the cordis
Loader catches+LOGS it and leaves the entry with no fiber (no rejection), and
`loader.await()` does not rethrow (EntryTree.await uses Promise.allSettled). Fix:
boot() now calls assertEntriesLoaded(ctx) after the tree settles and throws on
any entry with no fiber, so a typo'd config dir exits non-zero with a clear
message. main() also installs an unhandledRejection guard (installFailLoud) that
replaces Node's stack dump with a single labelled stderr line for the
companion case (a missing config FILE in a real dir, whose include-init throw
surfaces as a rejection Node already exits non-zero on). Regression tests added
to both built-bin smokes (missing dir + missing file → non-zero exit + stderr);
verified the missing-dir test fails on the pre-fix bin.
Built-bin smokes (the reviewer's ask): packages/ui/{stdio,acp}-agent/tests/
built-bin.e2e.ts run the REAL lib/bin.js under `node` (NOT tsx) in a temp
consumer dir, asserting the stdio echo round-trip / the acp initialize response
+ stdout purity, plus the fail-loud cases above. They build-gate (skip if lib/
absent) and run in a new ci.yml step after the build.
Issue 2 — packages/README.md + docs/architecture.md said "plugins depend on
interfaces, never on the concrete loop", but dsh-agent-core imports the concrete
dsh-agent-loop. Scope the rule to EXTENSION plugins and carve out the sanctioned
COMPOSITION/bundle exception (dsh-agent-core composes the concrete spine); note
it in the implemented RFC too.
Issue 3 — examples/acp-agent/tests/acp.snapshot.ts fixture-guard claimed
no-model scenarios need no session.jsonl, but runScenario() always boots
llm-replay with the session.jsonl path and loadReplayScript() throws when it is
absent. Require session.jsonl for ALL scenarios (no-model ones ship a
header-only fixture) and rewrite the comment to match reality.
The session event vocabulary carried two standalone trace-only events that
were not load-bearing as separate records. Fold their facts into nearby
load-bearing events and delete the standalone variants.
- Token usage now rides on `assistant/message` as an optional `usage` field —
the assembled model output and its accounting travel together. The loop folds
`assembler.usage` onto the append instead of emitting a separate `usage`
event.
- The max-tokens path is the no-data-loss host: a step cut off with usage but
EMPTY content (e.g. only a dropped tool call) previously emitted a standalone
`usage`; it now records an empty-content `assistant/message { content: [],
usage }`. `deriveMessages()` skips empty-content assistant messages, so the
usage host never injects a spurious content-less assistant turn into the
provider transcript. A step with neither content nor usage appends nothing.
- An operational error's step number now rides on `turn/end.reason` for
`kind: 'error'` (`{ kind: 'error', step, message, code? }`) — the durable
turn outcome ACP and resume already consume. `failTurn` sets the reason
directly (no separate session `error` event). `agent/error` + logging are
unchanged for live diagnostics.
- No format-version bump: pre-release, no persisted data, so per the format
policy there is nothing to migrate or reject (the RFC's "refresh the format
version" criterion over-reached). `version` stays 1.
- ACP fixtures + goldens re-recorded (keyless replay): dropped standalone
usage/error lines, usage folded onto assistant/message, error step on
turn/end.reason.
RFC moved proposed -> implemented with an implementation note recording the two
scope refinements.
Codex's second pass caught that the prior doc fix swapped one wrong primitive
for another: framing teardown as cancel()+whenIdle() (or awaiting
agent.whenIdle() on disposal) is still wrong. whenIdle() only OBSERVES
quiescence; cancel() only stops queued/in-flight work. Neither unregisters the
agent or detaches the session. Real teardown is AgentHandle.dispose(), whose
disposer does `stop(); await agent.done` — stop the loop, await its exit, and
unregister (packages/core/agent-loop/src/index.ts:271). Copying the old framing
would reintroduce the orphaned-agent/session leak the AgentHandle seam exists
to prevent.
- docs/architecture.md: whenIdle() is a non-owner quiescence-observation hook,
explicitly NOT teardown; teardown is `await AgentHandle.dispose()`.
- docs/cookbook/extension-cookbook.md (prose + the ts comment): tear agents
down via AgentHandle.dispose(), not agent.whenIdle().
- docs/rfc/proposed/feature/2026-06-14-acp-agent-client-protocol.md: the
lifecycle/disposal paragraph routes teardown through the handle's dispose().
Codex's no-ship was a completeness/docs-sync gap, not loop behavior:
- docs/architecture.md: drop the public abort() handle row; the teardown
signal is now cancel() then await whenIdle().
- cancel.spec.ts: the module doc and the turn-start comment contrasted
cancel() against a public abort() verb that no longer exists — reword to
name the loop's private step AbortController.
- packages/ui/acp/src/index.ts: the post-resume-leak comment cited abort();
cancel() is the surviving stop verb that likewise does not unregister.
- Move the RFC proposed -> implemented/simplification with amended text:
Status flips, the both-removal proposal is narrowed to abort-only, and an
implementation note records why whenIdle() is retained (load-bearing
quiescence primitive with live ACP consumers). Update docs/rfc/README.md.
- AGENTS.md "RFCs are proposals, not golden truth": add the concrete
abort/whenIdle worked example now that the implemented RFC exists to link.
- Regenerate the cordis catalog (line-number drift from the rebase).
The public Agent handle exposed abort() (step-only) and cancel() (queue-aware).
No production caller used abort() — ACP maps session/cancel to cancel(), and
lifecycle owners tear down via AgentHandle.dispose(); the loop's own stop paths
abort their per-step AbortController directly. So abort() is latent generality
that keeps a private loop mechanic public.
RFC-premise correction: the public-agent-stop-surface RFC proposed removing
whenIdle() too. Implementation found whenIdle() load-bearing — a real
quiescence primitive with a deliberate loop contract (settle-without-transition,
the replacement-turn race) and ACP test consumers; its proposed replacement
("observe the running->idle transition") is exactly the async-state race
AGENTS.md warns against. So only abort() is removed; whenIdle() stays. The RFC
is amended on the way to implemented/ to record the narrowed scope, and the new
AGENTS.md "RFCs are proposals, not golden truth" principle (PR1) gets its
worked example.
- Remove Agent.abort() from the interface + the ReactLoopAgent impl; the no-arg
'aborted' default goes with it (cancel() keeps its 'cancelled' default).
- Migrate tests: empty-queue abort() -> cancel(reason); the two review-fixes
tests whose subject is the in-flight step's AbortController drive that
controller directly via the private currentAbort field (cancel() would clear
the inbox and destroy the queued steering one of them proves survives a step
abort). The no-arg-default test is dropped (cancel()'s default is already
covered in cancel.spec.ts).
- Resulting public stop surface: cancel() + whenIdle(). Update agent/agent-loop
READMEs, architecture.md, core.md type-equiv, the extension cookbook, the
lifecycle RFC (short note), and the proposed ACP RFC.
Implements docs/rfc/implemented/simplification/2026-06-20-public-agent-stop-surface.md
The LLM service exposed three call surfaces (stream/streamBlocks/generate) but
the only production consumer — the agent loop — uses stream() exclusively,
feeding raw chunks through its own BlockAssembler for replay fidelity. Drop the
speculative convenience surfaces and the registry-change event that no listener
consumed, leaving stream() as the single model-call contract for both
production and tests.
- Remove LlmService.streamBlocks() and generate(), the llm/generate waterfall,
and GenerateResult.
- Remove the llm/adapter-change event (declaration + emits) and the
listener-throw rollback ordering that existed only to protect it; keep the
HMR rollback disposer.
- Remove BlockAssembler.flushReady()/flushRemaining()/result() and the flushed
cursor — the streaming-flush slice existed only for streamBlocks().
- Adapter tests drive a stream()+BlockAssembler helper (tests/assemble.ts)
instead of generate(), exercising the same path production uses.
- Land the AGENTS.md "RFCs are proposals, not golden truth" principle and move
both RFCs proposed -> implemented.

Add a second axis to every RFC — its class (feature, bug-fix,
simplification, architecture, process, testing) — encoded in the path
as docs/rfc/{lifecycle}/{class}/file.md. The folder is the label, so
the closed set is enforced by structure rather than a parsed field.
Two new doc-sync gates back it:
- verify-rfc-classification: every RFC sits in a valid class folder and
the README index lists it under the matching lifecycle→class heading.
- verify-doc-refs: every docs/*.md path cited in a packages|examples TS
comment resolves — closes a drift class verify-md-links can't see, and
catches the four comment refs this reorg moved.
The README gains a Classification section explaining the taxonomy and
per-class index sub-sections. A self-referential process RFC records why
the scheme is path-encoded and gated.
Add scripts/gen-cordis-catalog.ts: a fully-generated docs/cordis-catalog/
events-and-services.md cataloging every cordis event (exact signature + @mode)
and ctx.<key> service (exact interface), modeled on gen-module-graph's
--write/--check freshness gate. The harness tier renders in full from the
interface Events / interface Context declarations and their JSDoc; the inherited
cordis-core/loader/hmr/timer surface renders tersely from a curated table.
The generator hard-errors on a missing @mode tag and on a tag that contradicts
a conclusive signature shape (a trailing next param is structurally a
waterfall). Signature blocks use a ts cordis-catalog fence that doc-typecheck
skips. Type tokens cross-link to the core-data-structures catalog.
This supersedes the hand-maintained event-taxonomy table: verify-event-taxonomy
is deleted and verify-cordis-catalog joins doc-sync. architecture.md keeps the
Event taxonomy heading (TOC anchor) but points at the catalog; the Service-map
role table stays. RFC, AGENTS.md @mode authoring rule, and dependent doc/skill
references updated. Negative gate tests cover the missing-tag and
tag/shape-contradiction paths.
A new docs/core-data-structures/ folder: a self-contained core.md defining what
counts as a "core" data structure (the agent-loop spine) and covering the spine
vocabulary, plus per-seam sub-pages (llm-streaming, session, persistence, tools,
bash). Type definitions are pasted verbatim via `ts type-equiv` blocks and
drift-checked by verify-type-equiv. Cross-linked from architecture.md; the
`ts type-equiv` mechanics are documented in development.md.
The bridge now holds each session's `AgentHandle` disposer in its
`SessionRecord` and runs it on teardown (client disconnect or fiber dispose)
instead of the old `abort()` + `whenIdle()` drain that left agents
registered. A bare client disconnect now leaves NO registered agent and NO
session-store entry — not an idled-but-still-registered one. The queue-aware
`cancel()` inside the disposer also closes the former pre-step best-effort
window (a turn about to start is dropped), so teardown reaches true
quiescence.
The `session/load`-races-teardown leak is fixed: if the bridge closed while
`resume()` was pending, the just-resumed handle is disposed before throwing,
so it leaves no orphan (it has no SessionRecord, so quiesce() never sees it).
Tests: the disconnect test now asserts (through the SAME memoized teardown)
that the agent is unregistered AND its session removed; a durability test
re-loads the persisted log after dispose and asserts the closing turn/end is
on disk (guards the teardown-order contract); a sibling-isolation test proves
one handle's dispose() leaves other agents untouched. Docs: agent /
agent-loop / acp READMEs, architecture.md, and the stale in-code quiesce()
ownership comment updated to the per-agent disposal model; the now-resolved
TODO(rfc010-agent-disposal) / TODO(rfc010-cancel-prestep) teardown notes
removed.
abort() only kills the in-flight step, so a queued-but-not-yet-started prompt
ran to completion after a cancel and a prompt accepted right after could be
batched into the cancelled turn (the loop merges queued messages into one turn).
This closes TODO(rfc010-cancel-prestep) with a distinct cancel() verb.
cancel() clears the queued + steering FIFOs, aborts the in-flight step, and
drives a turn-scoped marker on the LoopHandle that the driver checks at EVERY
point a turn could start or continue:
- right after the idle wait (window 1): drop the about-to-run turn and settle
whenIdle() waiters directly (no running→idle transition fires, and no
agent/status is emitted, so an ACP listener can't see a spurious idle that
resolves a freshly-queued prompt as cancelled);
- after the synchronous setStatus('running') emit (window 2): a running listener
can cancel in the gap before runTurn;
- in the step-start window (before runStep, after setAbort): a synchronous
turn-start/step-start listener can cancel before any AbortController exists;
- at the continuation gate: a cancel during the continuation waterfall (the
finished step's controller already cleared) ends the turn aborted.
The marker is ARMED only when there is something to cancel (running, an
in-flight step, or queued/steering work) — an idle no-op cancel cannot leave it
set to drop a later prompt — and RESET unconditionally once per loop iteration,
so it governs exactly one turn and never leaks onto the next prompt (even when a
send() lands in the cancelled turn's flush window).
ACP session/cancel now maps to agent.cancel() (keeping the synchronous
settlePrompt). Teardown/disconnect still use abort('disposed') until PR D, so
the ACP README narrows the remaining best-effort window to teardown only.
Tests (agent-loop/cancel.spec.ts) cover every window unit-level (the F1 hang
guard: a whenIdle() waiter registered before a pre-step cancel resolves; the F2
leak guard: idle cancel then a prompt runs; mid-step, continuation, both
pre-step windows, turn-start-listener, steering-cleared, marker-reset). ACP
turns.spec.ts adds the through-bridge tests with NO intervening whenIdle (idle
cancel→prompt runs; mid-stream cancel→immediate next prompt runs) and updates
the stale pre-step test to the queue-aware guarantee. The existing cancel
snapshot golden is byte-identical (it drives the new cancel() path end-to-end
through the real subprocess), so no new golden is needed. 100% coverage.
