A three-dot rest entry reads as elision in a cordis.yml; the spelled-out
sentinel says what lands there. The literal now appears once in code (the
constant) and once in the value-pinning test; every other reference — the
forwarding tests included — imports TOOL_ORDER_REST, which adds the
dsh-system-prompt devDependency to the two app packages.
Review follow-up on #196.
Review round 2 (tianyicui inline comments):
- dsh-system-prompt itself registers the harness:identity (-100) and
deployment:persona (0) sections — they must survive a swapped loop
plugin, so they leave dsh-agent-loop; the persona text is the plugin's
own validated 'persona' config. The model/cwd variables STAY on the
loop: runtime facts of the agents it drives.
- AgentOptions.systemPrompt is deleted with all its forwarding plumbing:
the app configs' systemPrompt keys become 'persona' routed through
dsh-agent-core (schema = z.intersect of the owners'), the ACP bridge
and tool-subagent stop carrying persona configuration, and subagent
children now render the deployment persona like every other agent.
- Example personas drop transport/interface trivia (ACP, CLI) — facts
irrelevant to the model.
- Root CONTEXT.md removed (not idiomatic); its persona definition was
wrong under the new ownership anyway.
- Docs, READMEs, the prompt-variables RFC, and generated catalogs
updated; new loop test pins the assemble-waterfall escape valve
(an emptied assembly sends NO system field).
The stdio app's module doc and its unit suite's doc carried the claim
the review already corrected elsewhere: an inject-less app boots past a
collapsed export shape, so the smoke proves the tree runs while the
unwrapExports assertion in the unit suite pins the shape.
Codex review of PR #88 found three issues in the example-app extraction:
A1 — examples/coding-agent/README.md's plugin table still listed the OLD
direct-wired leaf entries (agent-loop, session-persistence, src/stdio-chat.ts —
the whole src/ dir is gone). Rewrite it to the four real leaf entries the
current cordis.yml loads (hmr, llm-deepseek, bash, stdio-agent), noting that
tool-bash/persistence/agent/loop now live inside the agent-core + stdio-agent
bundles.
A2 — the three new app/spine packages (agent-core, stdio-agent, acp-agent)
export NO `inject`, so a stray `export default apply` would let unwrapExports
collapse the module and silently DROP name/Config WITHOUT crashing — the
real-load-path smokes would stay green. agent-core is never Loader-unwrapped at
all. Add an explicit export-shape guard per package: assert no `default` export
and that the real Loader.unwrapExports leaves name/Config/apply intact. Verified
each fails when `export default apply` is added.
B — soften "structurally unreachable / cannot wire a stdout logger" overclaims
in the acp-agent/agent-core READMEs and the implemented RFC: a leaf CAN still add
a sibling logger entry; the accurate claim is the app omits one so the default
leaf has nothing to get wrong. Keep the safety directive (never add a stdout
logger to an ACP leaf).
Implements docs/rfc/.../2026-06-20-extract-example-app-packages.md. Each
example was thick — a hand-rolled start.ts, an infra preamble, nested
base.yml/base-core.yml/acp-tail.yml includes, and a coupled front-door
cluster enforced only by prose. This moves the composition into packages so
each example is a thin leaf cordis.yml: pick the swappable backends, load one
app package.
New packages:
- @deepseek-ai/dsh-agent-core (packages/core/agent-core): one bundle plugin
that loads the providerless/executor-less/UI-less spine (timer + llm +
sessions + system-prompt + tools + agents + invariants + tool-bash +
agent-loop) via ctx.plugin(...) inside apply(), and forwards agent-loop's
`agents` list as its own Config (export const Config = AgentLoop.Config,
default []).
- @deepseek-ai/dsh-stdio-agent (packages/ui/stdio-agent): terminal chat APP —
agent-core + console logger + readline UI + a pre-created `main` agent, with
a bin. The demo:echo/coding front door.
- @deepseek-ai/dsh-acp-agent (packages/ui/acp-agent): ACP server APP —
agent-core + JSONL persistence + the acp bridge, NO stdout logger, with a
bin. The stdout-purity footgun is structurally unreachable from the leaf.
Amendment to the RFC: hmr stays a LEAF cordis.yml entry, not baked into
dsh-stdio-agent. hmr is a Loader-only dev plugin (throws without
--expose-internals; the in-process test tier can't even import its decorator
form), so a package statically importing it could never carry the per-file
coverage gate. Unlike the console logger, a stray hmr is not a stdout-purity
footgun, so leaving it at the leaf costs no safety. With hmr out, all three new
packages carry in-process unit specs at 100%.
Boot glue (Loader tail, .env load, snapshot-mode selection, stdin-dispose
lifecycle) moves into each app's bin; start.ts and base.yml/base-core.yml/
acp-tail.yml are deleted. Each app package gets a keyless real-load-path test
that boots through its bin + the cordis Loader (guarding the unwrapExports
export-shape bug class, postmortem 0001). ACP snapshot replay stays green
against the existing committed goldens (pure boot restructuring). RFC moved
proposed->implemented with the amendment recorded; package/example/architecture
docs and the module graph updated.
