Code Mode is the point; the UI is just the surface it happens to wear.
demo:code and demo:acp-code collapse into one dispatcher
(scripts/demo-code-mode.mjs): `pnpm run demo:code-mode [repl|acp]` —
repl (default) boots the stdio REPL over examples/code-agent, acp
serves examples/acp-agent's code-mode overlay; each UI runs the exact
node invocation its standalone script ran, and an unknown argument
fails loud with usage. All nine references across READMEs, the RFC,
the overlay header, and the keyless-smoke comment renamed. Smoked all
three paths: usage exit 2, ACP initialize handshake, REPL boot + EOF.
Brings in the refreshed base (master merged through the stack after #203
and #205 landed), including the acp-snapshot extraction (#204), and
re-ports this PR's snapshot-suite extensions onto the extracted package:
- dsh-acp-snapshot's Scenario gains headerClass and configPath; the suite
factory pins the request header PER CLASS (construction rejects a
missing or duplicated class pin), forwards a scenario's configPath to
the harness (RunOptions.configPath overrides AgentUnderTest.configPath),
and a new fixtures meta-test asserts every pinning fixture carries
exactly one request/header and no deltas.
- The acp-agent example's thin scenario table re-registers code-mode-turn
and both-mode-turn with their overlay configs and per-class pins; the
committed fixtures replay unchanged.
- The package's synthetic suites cover the new surface (explicit
headerClass on one suite, the default on the other, a configPath
override through the fake bin, and the two construction throws).
The dsh-tools half of the Code Mode RFC (its fourth, final change): the
registry gains its first config — mode: native | code | both — and OWNS how
its tools reach the model. 'code' contributes exactly one wire tool,
run_code, plus a lazy tools:sdk prompt section declaring every other tool
as a generated TypeScript API (jsonSchemaToTs: total over the defineTool
subset, unknown degradation, lexicographic byte-identical rendering);
'both' ships both representations; 'native' is byte-for-byte the old
behavior. Non-native modes fail every assembly loudly without a
typescript-language ctx.codeRuntime.
run_code's dispatch bridge: JSON-normalizes each binding argument before
dispatch (what dispatches is what the tool/code-dispatch event logs — the
append can never fail on payload shape; BigInt/circulars reject that one
call), serializes all program tool calls through a per-run queue (even
Promise.all — no concurrency-safety metadata yet), routes every sub-call
through tools/pre-execute → tools/post-execute (a deny rejects the
program-side promise), drops sub-call additionalContext (no safe outlet
mid-run; pinned), owns a run-scoped abort that follows the outer signal in
and fires on settlement (in-flight sub-dispatch aborted, queued abandoned,
queue drained before returning), and converts a failed run into
CodeRunFailedError → a structured isError carrying kind + captured logs.
tool/code-dispatch joins SessionEventMap by declaration merging (log-only;
deriveMessages ignores it).
The composed surface: the tools config forwards through agent-core and
both app packages; examples/code-agent + demo:code run the worker runtime
under mode code (keyless boot smoke + a with-key e2e proving the collapsed
[run_code] header, the dispatch events, and the file the program wrote);
two new snapshot scenarios (code-mode-turn, both-mode-turn) record the SDK
section, collapsed header, dispatch events, and result card — each its own
header-pinning class (the harness gains per-scenario config overlays and
per-class pins). Catalogs, graphs, cookbook, hooks-bridge notes, and the
RFC (moved to implemented/, restructured to decision-era headings) updated
in the same change.
Two findings from the GitHub review bot on the ready PR:
The tsdown two-entry build emitted the shared bootstrap module as a
lib/bootstrap-*.js chunk imported by both bundles, which the package.json
files whitelist (deliberately exact) omitted — a packed install had
dangling imports. The package now runs two single-entry builds, so each
bundle inlines its own bootstrap copy and every shipped file is
self-contained.
prepareValue admitted any cloneable value whose BOUNDED inspect rendering
fit maxValueBytes, so a huge container with a compact rendering (a
50k-element array renders as '... N more items') crossed the port raw,
bypassing the cap on both sides. The cap now measures the value's real
cross-boundary size — exact bytes for strings, the structured-clone wire
size (v8.serialize) for everything else — and oversized containers cross
as their bounded rendering instead.
The host's message listener trusted the compile-time WorkerToHost shape on
traffic from a peer that runs model code: postMessage(null) threw in the
listener and crashed the host process; forged log/done messages bypassed
maxLogBytes/maxValueBytes (the worker-side LogBuffer and prepareValue cap
only honest flows); and the error-reply renegotiation re-echoed a forged
non-cloneable call id, throwing outside any catch.
Every inbound message now passes a runtime shape gate that validates and
REBUILDS it field by field (junk drops without a throw; call ids must be
numbers, so replies are always clone-plain; forged extra fields never ride
along). One host-side ledger bounds everything landing in logs — honest
port entries, forged ones, and stray pipe bytes — at the single documented
maxLogBytes, with the shared in-band truncation marker emitted host-side
when the ledger trips first; the completion value is re-capped host-side
through the same prepareValue (with exactly the truncation suffix as slack
so honest worker-capped values pass unchanged), and done error text is
bounded. Also folds the stray-capture budget into that shared ledger
(round-1 finding B: it was a second maxLogBytes on top of the documented
shared cap).
The shipped backend of the code-execution seam, per the Code Mode RFC's
worker-thread section: one fresh Node worker per run, executing the
model's TypeScript after a host-side type-strip (wrapped in an
async-function shell so top-level return/await parse, sliced back out
position-preserved), bindings bridged over the message port under
hostile-peer rules (own-property name lookup, at-most-once replies,
post-settlement drops, null-prototype namespaces), logs streamed eagerly
with an in-band truncation marker, and two independent budgets — measured
event-loop busy time (computeMs) plus a never-pausing wall ceiling
(maxWallMs) — funneling into worker.terminate(). env: {} and execArgv: []
keep the isolate hermetic; disposal aborts in-flight runs and awaits
worker exits.
The worker entry loads unbuilt via Node's native type stripping
(src/worker.ts, erasable-only) and ships built as a sibling tsdown bundle
(lib/worker.js); tests/built-lib.e2e.ts pins the built load path under
plain node and joins the built-artifact smoke gate. Unit suites cover the
bootstrap in-process (fake port) and the runtime over real workers,
per-file 100%.
The seam's structured-clone boundary admits values JSON does not (BigInt,
Map, circulars), while tool/code-dispatch events must be JSON-appendable —
left unhandled, a sub-call could execute and then fail at logging time.
The bridge now JSON-normalizes binding arguments BEFORE dispatch (a value
that does not survive rejects that one call), so the dispatched form and
the logged form are the same JSON value by construction.
A client-callback throw only becomes a JSON-RPC error RESPONSE to the
agent's session/request_permission — runScenario itself kept going, so a
tolerant agent could treat the error as a denial and the scenario would
pass, or worse, record: the impossible click baked into fixture and
golden, green on every replay. The mismatch is now captured as a harness
error while the agent is answered plain cancelled (a well-defined path
it cannot reinterpret), and the step loop rejects the run on it as soon
as the in-flight step settles. The spec asserts the rejection instead of
the agent-side error echo.
Adds the missing core-data-structures coverage the catalog policy
requires for non-spine seam vocabulary: the code-runtime.md sub-page
with drift-checked type-equiv blocks for all six seam types, the core.md
sub-page row, the type-equiv manifest entries, and LINK_MAP entries so
the generated service signature links CodeRunRequest/CodeRunResult;
cordis/config catalogs regenerated.
The package, coverage, and permission scripting all shipped on this
branch, so the RFC moves to implemented/ with the lifecycle rewrite:
Proposal becomes a present-tense Decision, Acceptance criteria and Risks
fold into Testing/Consequences with what actually pinned each one (the
zero-byte extraction parity, the 100% per-file coverage via the fake
bin, the vitest-in-src caveat, the per-suite pin cost).
The snapshot tier's machinery leaves examples/acp-agent/tests for
packages/support/acp-snapshot (@deepseek-ai/dsh-acp-snapshot), where the
coverage gate measures it and a second example can consume it instead of
forking it: harness.ts (runScenario, parameterized by an AgentUnderTest
{binScript, configPath, tsconfigPath} instead of module constants),
normalize.ts (moved verbatim), and suite.ts (defineAcpSnapshotSuite — the
per-scenario golden/log compares, record write-back, per-suite header pin
with its uniformity guard, and the fixture guard block, lifted from
acp.snapshot.ts). The example file collapses to its scenario table plus
one factory call; env reading (DSH_SNAPSHOT) stays at that edge.
The exactly-one-pin meta-test generalizes from the hardcoded text-turn
name to "exactly one per suite" — which scenario pins is the scenario
table's reviewable choice (per-suite pinning per the proposal RFC).
Extraction parity: pnpm run test:snapshot is 36 passed + fs-policy-reject
failing BEFORE AND AFTER (BSD-sed environment failure, reproduced at the
base commit in a clean worktree — the recorded golden's sed -i syntax is
GNU-only), with zero byte changes under examples/acp-agent/tests/snapshots/.
Coverage for the new src files lands in the next commit.
The harness, normalizers, and suite/guard logic live inside
examples/acp-agent/tests, outside the coverage gate and copyable-only
for a second suite. Propose @deepseek-ai/dsh-acp-snapshot under
packages/support: parameterized runScenario, verbatim normalizers, a
defineAcpSnapshotSuite factory with per-suite header pinning, and
scripted permissionAnswers so an approval round-trip is expressible at
the snapshot tier — the sandbox composition is the immediate consumer.
New group packages/code-runtime/ with the interface package
@deepseek-ai/dsh-code-runtime, per the Code Mode RFC: abstract CodeRuntime
service (run() resolves program failures as an error field, rejects only
for seam misuse), the CodeRunRequest/CodeBindingNamespace/CodeRunResult/
CodeLogEntry/CodeRunFailure vocabulary, and readonly language/isolation
backend descriptors. Registered in the tsconfig maps, packages/README,
architecture service map, and the doc-graph service-role classification;
catalogs regenerated.
The RFC's one forward path token to the worker package becomes an npm-name
mention until PR3 creates that directory (verify-package-paths is
drift-scoped: the now-existing group made the token checkable).
docs/architecture.md ceiling 1630 -> 1640: the doc gained a genuinely new
capability-service row; the row itself is already minimal.
Budget expiry terminated the worker but nothing cancelled an in-flight
host-side sub-dispatch, and a late dispatch could append events after
run_code returned. The bridge now owns a run-scoped AbortController
(follows exec.signal; fired on any run settlement), sub-dispatches get
the run signal, and run_code returns only after the dispatch queue
drains — no post-settlement appends, per dispose-to-quiescence.
(A1) Scope the wire-collapse guarantee honestly: systemPrompt.tools() is
a public multi-provider API, so the mode governs the registry's
contribution (the only shipped source); deliberate extra providers own
what they add, and the shipped-configuration invariant is test-pinned.
(A2) Replace pause-on-pending-RPC timeout with two independent budgets:
computeMs metered by worker.performance.eventLoopUtilization() busy time
(unfoolable by an un-awaited decoy dispatch; probe-verified) plus a
never-pausing maxWallMs ceiling.
(A3) Specify sub-call additionalContext as deliberately suppressed in
the MVP (immediate inject would break call/result adjacency; the plural
channel is named follow-up work).
(B) Orphan-process caveat vs bash-local's group kill; null-prototype
binding namespaces (__proto__/constructor names); per-PR doc artifacts
(packages/README row, architecture service map in PR2, config/tool/
persistence catalogs per owning PR); engines range corrected to
^22.19.0 || >=24.0.0.
Research finding: a SessionEventMap member is a log event — JSDoc prose
required, @mode is a hard error there, and docs/persistence-catalog.md
must be regenerated (todo/write is the log-only precedent). PR4's plan
now names both.
Own adversarial pass finding: a static inject on the registry would gate
ctx.tools (and every tool plugin) on a code runtime existing even under
mode 'native'. The RFC now names the sanctioned pattern: soft
ctx.get('codeRuntime') at use time (the agent-loop sessionPersistence
precedent) with absence failing loud in the provider thunk.
Supersedes the add-on-plugin + node:vm-stub draft in place (still proposed/):
code mode becomes a first-class ToolRegistry presentation mode
('native' | 'code' | 'both'), execution goes behind a new ctx.codeRuntime
capability seam whose shipped backend is one fresh Node worker thread per
run (type-strip, empty env, resource limits, hard terminate), at
bash-equivalent trust with no unsafe-flag ceremony. Renames the file to
2026-06-15-code-mode.md and regenerates the RFC index.
Three Codex findings on json-schema.ts, one discipline:
- required-declared and every value check now use Object.hasOwn — 'in' let
inherited names (toString) satisfy required, dodge additionalProperties:
false, and validate a declared property against the value's prototype
member instead of a carried one
- isObjectLike now means PLAIN JSON object (proto chain of at most one link,
realm-agnostic): a Date annotation or a Map-as-properties no longer passes
structurally and serializes lossily — they fail loud as subset violations
- startInProcessRun asserts BEFORE the defensive structuredClone, so a
hostile schema fails as OutputSchemaError, never a raw DataCloneError
Also the type-equiv catalog gap: tools.md gains the structured-output subset
vocabulary (4 blocks) with matching manifest entries. The driver index also
drops the runtime internals from its public re-export (runs acquire it
internally; no external consumer remains — see the following commit).
Review follow-up (#196): a listed name with no registered tool was silently
ignored; misconfiguration must block work instead. The check lives in the
assembly — the earliest moment the registered tool set exists (tool plugins
register after the service constructs) and the only universal one (cordis has
no "all plugins loaded" event; registrations change at any time). assemble()
is now async so the throw surfaces as a rejection rather than a synchronous
escape from a Promise-returning method.
Blast radius, pinned by a loop-level test: the rejection reaches the turn's
outer catch — the turn closes balanced with an `error` reason, agent/error
mirrors it, no step opens, no request/header is logged, no request reaches
the adapter, and the agent returns to idle; every turn fails identically
until the config is fixed. A boot-time validation pass was considered and
rejected (recorded in the RFC). The general principle — misconfiguration
fails loud, never a silent skip — is added to AGENTS.md.
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.
- run-gates.ts docSyncLeafGates() gains verify-export-jsdoc — CI lanes
and the pre-push hook execute this leaf list, not the doc-sync npm
script, so the gate was previously unenforced there (proven by
SessionForkErrorCode landing undocumented via a master merge while
checks stayed green; now documented). Same wiring gap fixed for
master's verify-config-catalog, which was also missing from the list.
- The heritage exemption now recovers the base's return surface: a void
base return carried no @returns duty, so an override returning a
concrete result documents it itself (annotated overrides run the
standard check; unannotated ones are classified by the checker so
faithful void overrides need no boilerplate annotation). Three new
negative-path tests pin it; RFC and module doc updated.
- AGENTS.md states each principle inline instead of citing RFCs (eight
citations removed; high-level doc links kept) and the editing section
now carries the self-containedness rule.
- Generated catalogs/graphs regenerated for the shifted line pointers.
Out-of-process delegation to external coding agents as two new subagent
seam backends, exposed as subagent_claude_code / subagent_codex tools.
