- While a picking flow is open (native chooser pending, browse dialog up) or
its pick is being adopted, every other menu action disables: a late outcome
must not race a concurrent selection or creation (ds-review-bot warning).
- ctx.directoryPicker joins the architecture Capability Services map (both
languages); neighboring rows condensed to keep the doc inside its ceiling.
- directory-picker-browse documents that its client half lands in the next
stacked PR: a -browse composition today hides the picking affordance (the
documented empty-hole default) rather than misbehaving (ds-review-bot
critical; the dialog itself ships in #821).
directory-picker-browse becomes dual-face: its browser half fills
ui-workspace's two directory-flow holes with the Select Workspace Directory
dialog (figma Harness 813-23126 family — Miller two-column view, breadcrumb
with click-to-edit path zone, nested New-folder dialog), driving the node
half's host.listDirectory/host.createDirectory and owning its locale
namespace (directory-browser, zh default / en). The dialog moves here from
ui-workspace wholesale — the trigger surfaces keep only the flow-hole owner
conversation.
apps/cli flips its one directory-picker row -native -> -browse, swapping the
host backend and the client interaction together; picking now works for
remote deployments out of the box. The keyless workspace-flow snapshot boots
the browse bundle and drives menu -> dialog -> Documents -> project -> Open
against the fixture tree.
ui-workspace's two trigger surfaces each declare a single-kind directory-flow
hole (conversation.hero.workspace.directoryFlow / sidebar.workspaces.directoryFlow,
same owner contract) and keep only the trigger and the adoption: the Open-local-
folder entry renders while the surface's hole is occupied, and the occupant
reports one picked path per open through the hole's owner conversation
(open/busy/onPicked/onCancel/onError).
directory-picker-native becomes dual-face: its browser half fills both holes
with a renderless occupant driving host.pickDirectory, so the cordis.yml row
that mounts the backend also composes the client interaction — a mismatch is
impossible and a second flow package fails at client load.
With composition wiring both sides, the host.describe.directoryPicker
advertisement and the client's kind branching lose their last consumer:
the field, WorkspacesService.directoryPickerKind(), the DirectoryPickerKind
wire type, and the picker's per-open describe read are deleted. The connection
fixture now serves a deterministic pickDirectory path so the keyless snapshot
drives the full pick-then-adopt flow. ui-workspace's hand-rolled declaration
deferral is replaced by the deferRegistration helper it duplicated.
The browse interaction also presents a dialog (the in-app modal), so 'dialog'
failed to discriminate the two capability kinds; 'native' names where the
chooser runs. Package directory-picker-dialog -> directory-picker-native, kind
'dialog' -> 'native', with every seam/gateway/client/doc reference updated and
the seam Agent Note's naming rationale rewritten to match.
The check added last commit derived its elevated set from the sheets that
already rebind, which cannot catch the omission it targets: such a set only
confirms what someone already remembered, and a surface nobody has rebound
yet defines itself as unelevated. Review found the case that proves it —
TodoPanel scrolls in .list on a --dsw-specific-tip card, the same dark rung
as the menu surface, unrebound and with the derived check green.
Resolves the set from the palette's own dark elevation ladder instead: the
surface tokens whose dark value lands on bg-layer-2 or bg-layer-3, which is
the step the l1/l2 split encodes. A new palette token on an elevated rung is
in scope the moment it is defined.
Scope is by token family rather than geometry: only --dsw-alias-bg-* and
--dsw-specific-* name a surface. The button, interactive, and markdown
families reach the same rungs while naming a control or an inline span that
no scroll container renders a bar against, and shape cannot separate them
since a floating button carries a radius, a shadow, and a fixed size —
ChatView's .toBottom pill was the false positive that showed this.
Adds the missing TodoPanel rebind. Mutation-checked all four rebinds in
turn: each is named with its surface. The palette anchoring has its own
control — narrowing the family pattern turns it red on --dsw-specific-menu.
ds-review-bot round 4. On Windows, isAbsolute admits rooted drive-less
forms (\foo, /foo) that resolve() then rebases onto the process's current
drive; both browse primitives now gate on a fullyQualified check (drive
letter or UNC on win32, POSIX-absolute elsewhere) with a platform test
seam, per-platform unit cases, and the contract wording updated on the
seam, the backend README pair, and the error messages.
The picker-kind effect also kept a resolved 'dialog' across close, so a
backend swapped while the menu was closed could paint the stale entry for
one frame on reopen; the close arm now clears the state, pinned by a
reopen-under-pending-read race test.
The single-column dialog missed the design's interaction model (figma
813-23126/813-23278, sibling frames of the linked node): selection is
not navigation. The browser now opens as one wide level; selecting a
row keeps it marked (pill + open-folder accent) and previews its
children in a second 256px column across a hairline divider, a
right-column pick advances one level, and the breadcrumb follows the
selection. New folder becomes the design's nested create dialog
("New folder in ...", Untitled-folder placeholder, Cancel/Create),
creating inside the selection and landing with the new folder selected.
Open adopts the selection, falling back to the listed level, so the
e2e path-edit flow is unchanged. The card is the design's fixed
600x420 with per-column scrolling.
ds-review-bot round 3. The seam package broke the service-package export
contract (named export only), so the config catalog filed it under Other
libraries and default imports failed; it now default-exports DirectoryPicker
like every abstract seam, and the regenerated catalog lists it as one.
The picker-kind effect also let a settlement from a superseded flow open
leak into the current one (close/reopen mid-describe, or a reconnect that
swaps the backend): the read now resets the affordance on every open and a
cleanup-toggled flag discards obsolete settlements, both directions pinned
by jsdom races.
Review found three scroll containers sitting on surfaces the rebinding
contract covers, none of which rebound: ui-primitives' shared Menu card
on --dsw-specific-menu (the surface PopupSelectView already rebinds for),
and the composer input and question composer cards, both on
--dsw-specific-input-major. Each rendered the l1 thumb, which differs
from l2 only in the dark palette and only on that surface, so a
light-palette screenshot and a code read both look correct.
Adds the mechanical check that would have caught them instead of leaving
it to inspection: a sheet that scrolls somewhere and paints a known
elevated surface somewhere must rebind. The elevated set is derived from
the sheets that already rebind, since a rebinding rule paints the surface
whose elevation it declares, so a new elevated surface joins the set by
rebinding rather than by anyone updating a list. Surface-level rather than
element-level because the card and the descendant that scrolls are
separate rules and CSS text does not say which contains which. Verified by
reverting each of the three fixes in turn: the check names the sheet and
the surface every time.
Also commits snapshots/sidebar-scrollbar/geometry.expected.md, the
resolved scrollbar style and geometry in both palettes. The aria goldens
the other web scenarios commit cannot carry a CSS-only change, since it
alters no DOM and no accessible name and leaves their trees
byte-identical. Absolute coordinates stay out: they track font metrics and
the laid-out sidebar width, so committing them would document the platform
and force a per-platform re-record.
ds-review-bot round 2. The workspace UI never consulted the advertised
directoryPicker kind: under a browse (or merge-added) backend it still
rendered 'Open local folder…' and called pickDirectory(), which the host
answers with directory-picker-unavailable. The create flow now reads
directoryPickerKind() per menu open and renders the dialog affordance only
under 'dialog' — browse (until its in-app browser UI lands) and unknown
kinds hide the entry, realizing the seam's documented default; a keyless
workspace-flow snapshot pins the hidden entry over the browse fixture.
The browse backend also resolved wire paths, silently rebasing '' or
relative parents under the host process cwd; both primitives now reject
non-absolute explicit paths with their business codes, and the seam JSDoc
carries the contract.
The dialog now owns the figma structure through a new headless Modal
mode (mask/card/Escape stay shared): header block with the title and
crumbs 8px apart above the l3 separator (no close chrome — the figma
frame has none), 16px to the level, and the 12px card bottom. The
picker-kind narrowing returns for the merged open describe kind — an
unrecognized advertised kind hides the local-folder entry, now covered
alongside the stale-navigation failure arm and the unmount races.
The Open-local-folder flow now branches on the Host's advertised picker
interaction (host.describe.directoryPicker, read per menu open; unknown
kinds hide the entry): dialog keeps the native-chooser flow, and browse
opens the new in-app directory browser (figma Harness 802-56979) —
breadcrumbs rooted at a localized Home crumb, a click-to-edit path zone
right of the crumbs, host-flagged hidden entries filtered client-side,
an inline New-folder row, and Open adopting the listed directory
through the existing workspace-creation error surface. Dialog copy is
localized (ctx.locale, namespace 'workspace'); the plugin re-registers
its entries on locale/change.
apps/cli flips the composed backend from -dialog to -browse, so the
picker works for remote deployments out of the box; -dialog stays a
composable alternative. The workspace-management e2e drops its native
picker monkey-patch and drives the real modal end-to-end via the
path-edit affordance.
ds-review-bot round 1: the seam documented a merge-extensible union but
shipped a closed alias, and the gateway schema rejected any kind beyond
dialog/browse — a third backend could neither implement the seam nor be
advertised. The union now derives from an augmentable DirectoryPickerCapabilities
map, host.describe.directoryPicker preserves unknown wire kinds, and the
browse fixture applies listDirectory's root special case so creating under
'/' no longer mints a '//name' identity.
Fetch-Metadata and Origin are only attached to trustworthy destinations, so
over plain HTTP a rebound page's same-origin GET (EventSource, images,
navigations) arrives with no browser markers and a readable response. Remove
the marker shortcut; non-browser clients pass the same fence via loopback,
the CLI-derived LAN IP literals, or a declared authority.
A dangling colon (harness.internal:) or zero-padded port parses cleanly while
WHATWG silently rewrites it, turning an intended exact-port grant into an
any-port grant. Replace the character blacklist with a round-trip check: an
entry must read back from parsing exactly as written (case aside), refusing
the whole rewrite class at load.
WHATWG trimming strips stray whitespace before parsing, so 'host:port ' passed
the load assert while the raw-string port regex read it as port-less —
broadening an exact-port grant to every port on that hostname. The explicit-
port judgment now reads URL parses under both special schemes (:80/:443 stay
explicit), and the load assert refuses whitespace outright.
WHATWG parsing would quietly read a hostname out of harness.internal/path or
user@harness.internal, authorizing the typo's hostname; other typos would sit
silently ignored until requests 403. Refuse every URL part beyond host[:port]
at plugin load.
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:
.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-28-directory-picker-capability-seam.md
Markerless requests pass on any Host (a non-browser sender is the principal
and forges headers anyway); browser Host matching gains port-less entries and
WHATWG normalization; dsh derives LAN IP-literal authorities for an
all-interfaces bind and web grows --trusted-host for named ones.
Both web-GUI groups shipped without the group README that the packages
table names as each group's canonical package/ctx-key map, and without
rows in that table. Adds both bilingual pairs, the two table rows
(ceiling 835→870: two genuinely new product groups joined the canonical
table at minimal row width), and fixes webserver README drift
(WebServerService/ctx.webServer → HttpServerService/ctx.httpServer,
matching src/index.ts).
A non-`auto` `scrollbar-width` or `scrollbar-color` makes Chromium and Safari
discard every `::-webkit-scrollbar*` rule for that element, including
`::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:hover`. Declaring both unconditionally left the
hover tokens rendering nowhere: the engines implementing the hover
pseudo-element are exactly the ones the standard properties silence, and
Firefox has no hover pseudo-element to fall back on. Both hover tokens and all
four elevated surfaces' hover rebinds were therefore dead code.
Measured in chromium on probe elements with `scrollbar-gutter: stable`: an 8px
`::-webkit-scrollbar` alone reserved a 30px band, and adding
`scrollbar-width: thin` dropped it to the 10px `thin` reserves.
The standard properties now sit inside `@supports not
selector(::-webkit-scrollbar)`, so Firefox takes them and WebKit-based engines
take the pseudo-elements. The WebKit rules stay ungated: an engine without
those pseudo-elements drops them as unknown selectors, and gating them would
hide them from an engine that implements them without `selector()` — the
pre-16.4 Safari the ungated form serves correctly.
Three unit assertions pin the split by source offset, which the existing
at-rule-flattening parser cannot see. The web e2e now reads the path chromium
actually takes: the `auto` standard properties as the gate's signature, the
pseudo-element sizing and track, the indirection variables resolved per
throwaway probe, and the hover declaration as cascade rule text — chromium
folds the `:hover` rule into `getComputedStyle(el,
'::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb')`, so no computed query separates the states.
The only browser-trust guard covered host.pickDirectory, while the
consequential methods (session.prompt drives bash) accepted any Host —
open to DNS rebinding, where a rebound page reads and writes the API as
if same-origin and only the Host header betrays the attacker's domain.
The pickDirectory-specific loopback guard becomes a prefix-wide fence:
Host must be loopback or an exact host[:port] from the new trustedHosts
config, an attached Origin must equal that authority, and explicit
cross-site markers are refused; requests without browser markers (curl,
tests, native clients) pass, because without a browser there is no
confused deputy. The loopback-socket check is dropped — binding policy
expresses reachability, and the fence is not an auth layer. The Agent
Note records the full threat model and the alternatives.
