Codex review of the trace-event fold found two merge-blockers.
Blocker #1 — format version. Folding usage onto assistant/message and removing
the standalone usage/error events changed the persisted SessionEventMap shape,
which per the AGENTS.md "bump the version and reject — don't migrate" policy
requires a backend to reject any non-current log. Centralize the version in an
exported SESSION_FORMAT_VERSION constant (dsh-session), read by both write sites
(Session constructor default, SessionStore.prepare header) and the coordinator's
load-time assertVersion check. The constant is pinned at 0: while unreleased the
on-disk format is unstable/pre-release, so breaking shape churn is absorbed at v0
(no monotonic bump until the first tagged release) and any non-0 log is rejected
on load — no migration. Update every test/fixture/doc that stamps a
currently-written header to the constant, bump the ACP snapshot fixture + golden
headers to v0, and keep the version-rejection test meaningful by switching its
bad value to a clearly non-current 99. AGENTS.md documents both the monotonic
(SQLite SCHEMA_VERSION) and pinned-0 (session log) pre-release stances.
Blocker #2 — restore the late turn-end warn. failTurn now sets the error reason
only while the turn is still open; once turn/end is appended (a throwing
agent/turn-end listener after closeTurn) the reason can no longer reach the
durable log, so the late throw is logged via ctx.logger.warn instead of
vanishing into a futile post-close assignment. A regression test asserts the
warn fires.
Also guard the normal-step assistant/message append with the same
content-or-usage condition as the max-tokens branch (a content-less, usage-less
step records no trace-only row), with a covering test.
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 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
Type-only change (brands are zero-cost casts; no runtime/wire impact). Closes
the two gaps in the "brand ids that cross package boundaries" policy and fixes
the dependency direction so a capability package never pulls in an unrelated one.
- Extract the `Branded<B>` primitive into a new standalone type-only package
`@deepseek-ai/dsh-brand` (packages/util/brand) with no harness-package deps.
dsh-llm keeps its owned CallId but imports Branded from dsh-brand; dsh-session,
dsh-agent, and dsh-bash all import Branded from there. dsh-bash depends on
dsh-brand ALONE — never on dsh-llm or dsh-session (the architectural fix: a
generic execution backend must not couple to the LLM or session vocabulary).
- Mint BashTaskId + OwnerToken in dsh-bash and thread them through BashTask.id,
the get/ownerOf/list/readOutput/kill seam, the bash-local generation site, and
the dsh-tool-bash validate/access surface. OwnerToken is a DISTINCT brand from
SessionId so the seam stays decoupled; dsh-tool-bash is the single boundary
that casts SessionId -> OwnerToken.
- Brand at the SOURCE, not via mid-pipeline casts: agent-loop's Config types
agents[].id as AgentId and resumeSessionId as SessionId, so the brand enters
at the config boundary and the inner create()/resume casts disappear (only the
genuinely-new per-run session-id string is cast).
- Stop brand erosion: propagate CallId/SessionId/AgentId to the registry/store
Map keys and public params/exports (SessionStore, AgentRegistry + factory
options, the ACP session-id surface + ToolPresenter CallId map, the
persistence coordinator, invariants pendingCalls, the pi-ai tool-call maps).
- Docs: document BashTaskId/OwnerToken in bash.md (type-equiv re-pasted), point
the Branded type-equiv at dsh-brand, fix stale param types in the session/
agent/bash READMEs, regenerate the cordis catalog + module graph.
Implements docs/rfc/proposed/architecture/2026-06-20-branded-ids.md
The original prune removed BashExecutor.get()/.list() too, but each is a
one-line accessor over the executor's already-tracked tasks map, and removing
them forced dsh-tool-bash's tests onto a ~35-line onTaskDone completion-tracking
harness just to replace the one-line ctx.bash.get(id) lookup. Per the AGENTS.md
"RFCs are proposals, not golden truth" principle, that disproportionate
migration cost is evidence the methods earn their keep — a test harness IS a
consumer programming against the seam.
Restore get()/list() (seam + LocalBashExecutor impl + the bash tests that used
them, dropping the doneFor/trackCompletions scaffolding). The persistence
has()/delete()/deleteStored removal stands — it had only contract-test callers
and no test-ergonomics cost. The RFC is retitled persistence-only with an
implementation note recording the bash revert.
Second Codex pass caught two proposed RFCs that describe the bash seam as it
WAS (with get/list) and would read stale once this prune lands, plus a latent
test-helper edge:
- docs/rfc/proposed/architecture/2026-06-20-branded-ids.md and
2026-06-20-generic-long-running-tool-runtime.md: drop get/list from the
BashExecutor seam description (surviving: resolve/run/start/ownerOf/
readOutput/kill/onTaskDone). branded-ids will be further updated when it is
implemented; this keeps it accurate in the meantime.
- trackCompletions now records every completion to `done` unconditionally (and
also wakes a parked waiter), so a second doneFor(id) after completion resolves
instead of hanging.
Codex review of the PR2 diff caught doc/comment sites doc-sync does not gate
(core-data-structures prose) and a latent test-helper race:
- docs/core-data-structures/persistence.md + bash.md, sqlite README, and two
source comments (coordinator.ts, jsonl.spec.ts) still listed the removed
has/delete/get/list methods — updated to the surviving four-method
persistence surface and the get/list-free bash seam.
- doneFor(ctx, id) attached its onTaskDone listener lazily, after the task
could already have closed (e.g. `true`), so it could miss the completion and
hang. Replaced with trackCompletions(ctx): one eagerly-installed listener
(mounted in setup() before any task starts) records every completion, and
doneFor resolves immediately for an already-finished task or on completion
otherwise. Race-free, and there is no get-by-id seam left to poll instead.
Two capability seams carried abstract methods no production consumer calls.
A method no consumer programs against is not a seam — it is speculative
surface every implementation must still provide and test.
- SessionPersistence: remove has() and delete(), the coordinator's
has/delete/deleteCore, and the PersistenceBackend.deleteStored hook (with its
jsonl + sqlite + in-spec memory-stub impls). Surviving service surface:
create/append/load/list. Production uses only load() (resume) and list()
(ACP session/list).
- BashExecutor: remove get(id) and list(), the abstract decls and the
LocalBashExecutor impls. The internal tasks map survives (it backs
ownerOf/readOutput/kill); get/list were pure public accessors over it with no
shipping caller and no bash_list tool.
- Migrate tests that reached through ctx.bash.get(id) to the public completion
seam: a doneFor(id) helper over onTaskDone awaits a task by id, and the
HMR-reload ownership test now proves task survival through A's own bash_output
([status: running]) plus ownerOf + B-rejection — a stronger through-the-tool
assertion than the removed lookup peek.
- Update seam READMEs (six -> four service methods, drop the deleteStored hook
and the get/list row) and the two implemented persistence RFCs in place.
Implements docs/rfc/implemented/simplification/2026-06-20-prune-dead-seam-methods.md
Codex review of the PR1 diff surfaced docs/cleanup drift:
- LlmService class JSDoc still advertised "streaming / non-streaming call
surfaces, both interceptable via waterfall events" — corrected to the single
streaming surface; regenerated the cordis catalog so its mirror updates.
- Removed GenerateResult from gen-cordis-catalog.ts LINK_MAP (the type is gone).
- The adapter-change RFC's acceptance criterion named the retired
verify-event-taxonomy gate; updated to verify-cordis-catalog.
- Dropped the now-tautological "streaming and one-shot assembly agree" property
test (the streaming/one-shot distinction lived in the removed flush API;
usage/finish remain covered by assembler.spec.ts and the finish property).
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.
Implements:

The merge brought in two new proposed/architecture RFCs that reference
the old flat packages/<name> paths and the package-hierarchy RFC's old
proposed/ location. Rewrite their package paths to the grouped layout and
repoint the cross-link to implemented/architecture/ — the verify-package-paths
and verify-md-links gates caught both.
Self-audited every factual claim against the shipped branch (hierarchy
tree, no group manifests, the dsh-* paths wildcard in both tsconfigs,
publint glob, explicit build references, the two new gates). Phrase the
paths-wildcard bullet as current state, and record the doc-typecheck
JSONC-parse subtlety the wildcard introduced so a future editor does not
reintroduce the regex comment-strip bug.
git mv it from proposed/ to rejected/architecture/ (preserving history)
and fold the supersede note into a one-line rejected Status. The
extract-example-app-packages RFC subsumes it: once the spine moves into
dsh-agent-core and the base*.yml files are deleted, there is no shared
base YAML left to rename. Move its README row to Rejected -> Architecture
and repoint the supersede cross-link to the new path.
Add a README to each group dir (core/llm/bash/session-persistence/ui/
support) stating its role and product-vs-support classification, and
rewrite packages/README.md around the hierarchy (group table, grouped
"what goes where", removed the package-hierarchy FIXME).
Move the package-hierarchy RFC to implemented/architecture/ and rewrite
it to describe what shipped (placement rationale, the paths-wildcard and
publint dedup, the two new guardrail gates). Fold the remaining
tsconfig.build.json references dedup into the discover-package-inventory
proposal and fix its cross-link.
Update AGENTS.md: regrouped repo-layout map, depth-2 globs, the new
verify-package-paths gate in the doc-sync listing, and a note that we
lean toward stricter lint in the agentic-coding era (machine-caught
errors and a consistent foundation outweigh the one-time cost).
Self-review against the actual source surfaced three imprecisions:
- agent-loop placement: the core bundle forwards agent-loop's `agents`
list as its own config (default []), matching AgentLoop.Config, rather
than hardcoding []. This is what lets a shared core coexist with stdio
pre-creating `main` and acp pre-creating none — and it directly rebuts
the reason base-core.yml gives today for keeping the loop out of core.
- timer is universal and stdout-safe, so it lives in the shared spine,
not the per-app front-door cluster (only logger + hmr are app-specific).
- model/systemPrompt land in different places per app (stdio onto the
pre-created agent, acp onto the bridge plugin), routed by the app
package's own Config — not a single uniform bundle entry.
Merge brought in the RFC-classification reorg and two new doc gates;
rewrite every drifted packages/<name> cross-link (Markdown link targets,
moved-README relative depths, and .ts comment paths) to the grouped paths.
Add two doc-sync/hygiene gates so the manual checks this restructure
needed become automated:
- verify-package-paths.ts: flags a packages/<path> reference (in Markdown
or a .ts comment/string) that does not resolve AND names a real package
in a segment — i.e. a stale path to a MOVED package. A path naming a
non-existent package (a forward-looking proposal) is left alone, so it
applies uniformly across proposed/implemented/rejected.
- check-workspace-constraints: assert the packages/<group>/<pkg> depth-2
shape (group dirs carry no package.json; no flat or over-nested
packages). Group names stay open; only the shape is fixed.
- Correct the SessionStore signature: `get(id: string)` is non-optional,
not `get(id?: string)` (only create/prepare take an optional id).
- Broaden the ACP brand-erosion description and the acceptance criterion
beyond `Map<string>`: the session-id surface also includes the
`bySession` WeakMap, the `loadingIds` Set, and the exported
`streamSessionEventUpdate(sessionId)` signature.
- Use bare inline code spans for code paths instead of markdown links,
matching the house style of the other architecture RFCs and removing the
link/bare-span inconsistency within this file (doc-to-doc cross-links
stay markdown links per docs/AGENTS.md).
Add a proposed architecture RFC to make the examples folder thin: each
example becomes mostly an invocation of an app package. A shared
dsh-agent-core bundle owns the providerless spine; dsh-stdio-agent and
dsh-acp-agent app packages bake in their coupled front-door cluster
(UI + logger/hmr policy + agent pre-creation), turning the ACP
stdout-purity footgun into a property of the artifact. Leaf cordis.yml
shrinks to backends + config; start.ts is dropped in favor of a package
bin.
Supersedes the providerless-example-base RFC (cross-linked) and indexes
the new RFC under Proposed -> Architecture.
Move the 18 flat packages/<name> packages into role-grouped dirs:
core/, llm/, bash/, session-persistence/, ui/, support/. Group dirs are
pure containers; each package keeps its @deepseek-ai/dsh-* name.
Collapse the per-package tsconfig paths maps (base + typecheck) into one
@deepseek-ai/dsh-* wildcard with a candidate per group, and derive the
publint list from the hierarchy. Update all depth-coupled globs/configs
(workspace, tsdown, vitest, eslint, knip, tsconfig includes/refs,
per-package tsconfigs, generators, doc-script scopes, type-equiv manifest)
and the cross-package/script relative imports in tests.
Fix doc-typecheck's workspacePaths() to parse tsconfig JSONC via the
TypeScript API instead of a regex comment-strip, which corrupted the
new wildcard `/*/` path candidates.
WIP: doc cross-links and package/RFC docs still to update.
Extend the existing Branded<B> machinery (CallId/SessionId/AgentId) to the
unbranded cross-boundary IDs that meet the brand.ts policy bar — chiefly the
model-facing bash task id (BashTask.id, the `bash-N` counter that shares
SessionId's `name-N` shape) and a distinct OwnerToken brand for the bash
owner token — and fix the brand erosion where existing brands decay back to
`string` at Map keys and method params.
Scoped focused per the "not every string needs a brand" policy: ModelId,
ToolName, numeric ordinals, and validated construction are listed as
deferred extensions, not in-scope work. Filed under proposed/architecture.
examples/acp-agent has no src/ directory — its plugins come from real
packages wired via cordis.yml, and its only local entry (start.ts) is
already auto-discovered. The examples/acp-agent/src/*.ts entry pattern
matched nothing, which knip surfaced as a config hint that exited 0 and
so went unnoticed.
Remove the dead pattern, and pass --treat-config-hints-as-errors so a
future stale entry (a renamed/removed path) fails the hygiene gate
instead of degrading to a silent hint.
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.
PR #71 shipped the core-data-structures catalog and the verify-type-equiv
drift gate without an RFC (judged small at the time). Add the retroactive
implemented RFC so the sibling pair is documented symmetrically: the
spine-vs-seam scoping rule (discovered by testing candidate definitions against
borderline types like BashExecRequest and ToolDefinition), the
verbatim-match-over-assignability choice for the gate, and the process —
including the Codex-caught scan-gap bug fixed in 6da7a0f. Cross-link the two
catalog RFCs to each other and index the new one.
- Exclude protected methods from the generated service interface: a protected
member (e.g. BashExecutor.notifyTaskDone) is a subclass hook, not part of the
public ctx.<key> surface a plugin author calls. The method filter now drops
private, protected, and static.
- Add BashTaskRead to the type cross-link map so readOutput()'s return type
links to its core-data-structures page.
- Reword the generator module comment and the AGENTS.md @mode rule to state the
current capability without narrating the retired event-taxonomy verifier
(that history lives in the RFC).
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.
Annotate all 24 harness events across the 5 event-declaring packages with
an explicit `@mode emit|waterfall|parallel` tag and self-contained JSDoc, so
the generated cordis catalog can render each entry's mode and prose from
source alone.
Co-locate the ACP feature support checklist with the bridge package
(packages/acp/acp-feature-support.md) and rewrite its relative links for
the new depth. Broaden the doc-sync globs (doc-typecheck, verify-md-wrap,
verify-md-links) from packages/*/README.md to packages/*/*.md so a
package-level doc beyond the README stays under the drift gates, and
update the AGENTS.md prose describing that scope.
- session/close: ⚠️→❌ (no handler; SDK dispatch returns method_not_found —
disconnect/disposal teardown is not the per-session method)
- Codex plan: ⚠️→✅ (CodexEventHandler.updatePlan emits the stable `plan`
update; the plan-as-text note was stale)
- Codex elicitation: ✅→⚠️ (maps onto session/request_permission; does not
call elicitation/create|complete)
- Overview: qualify the "both adapters ship" clause — neither drives the
client terminal/* family and only Claude uses fs/*
- Remove a stray </content> sentinel that rendered literally at EOF
Review found verify-type-equiv only scanned docs the manifest already named, so
a type-equiv block in an unmanifested doc was silently skipped — defeating the
1:1 guarantee. Scan all docs in the markdown glob scope instead, so an orphan
block in any doc is caught. Also parse `abstract class` in blockSymbol (matches
sourceDeclaration's class support).
persistence.md listed the SessionPersistence surface as create/append/load/list;
the abstract service also exposes has/delete. AGENTS.md's doc-sync command
summary omitted verify-md-links and verify-type-equiv.
