Semantic resolutions beyond line merges:
- The bash seam keeps resolveMode + the bash/resolve-mode waterfall on
master's task-free BashExecutor (run/start/resolve only; BashProcess
handles); tool-bash consults it at its stamping site and escalation
baseline on master's render/background split, with a waterfall test on
the recording executor.
- dsh-mode's BASH_FAMILY narrows to ['bash']: bash_output/bash_kill are
replaced by the kind-generic task_output/task_kill, which span every
task kind and only observe or stop work, so the access cap withholds
only the starter it can reason about.
- The plan-mode snapshot suite adopts master's pin grammar (tool-schema
sidecars; the expectedHeaderSnapshots extension is gone — the exit
transition deltas, and entering-before-turn-1 needs no second
snapshot); modes-advertise joins the plan header class (no-model, so
membership is vacuous). Fixtures re-recorded on the acp-demo bin;
the replay overlay gains the passthrough sandbox runner.
- examples/plan-acp-agent rewires to @deepseek-ai/dsh-acp-demo and drops
its tool-bash entry (the spine bundle now composes it); dsh-stdio (the
renamed stdio-chat home) keeps its /mode command and gains the dsh-mode
peer edge; the acp bridge keeps the modes surface beside master's
permission presets.
- mode README gains the Model Experience / Known Limitations sections the
new README gates require; AGENTS.md ceiling 1370 → 1440 for the kept
mode/ layout line and Agent efficiency section.
A ModeDefinition is now exactly { section, access? }; unknown keys (a
tools list included) fail loud at load. What plan mode still does: the
guidance section, the exit_plan_mode visibility rule (plan only, both
soft surfaces), the access cap's bash/resolve-mode clamp, and the two
cap-derived pre-execute guards (the bash trio is withheld when no
confining executor can honor the cap; sandbox escalation is denied
while it holds). The general deny-by-default gate and the assemble
allowlist filter are gone: which tools a mode admits is an effects
question, and a hand-maintained name list mislabels it — it must track
every composed tool and rots silently as tools arrive. The dimension
returns as a consumer of effects self-declaration on tool definitions
(MCP ToolAnnotations as the template) — rationale and restart trigger
archived in the RFC's Alternatives/Deferred; the interim guidance-only
non-shell restraint is priced in Consequences.
Exiting plan is now a pure removal (the exit tool + section), which the
delta encoding CAN express: the re-recorded plan-mode fixture pins one
plan-shaped initial header snapshot plus one header-delta instead of
two snapshots.
A ModeDefinition may declare access: the widest sandbox access shell
commands run under while the mode holds, on the SANDBOX_MODES ladder.
The bash seam gains the resolution point to hang it on: BashExecutor.
resolveMode(session) folds override ?? default and dispatches the new
bash/resolve-mode waterfall; dsh-tool-bash consults it at both the
stamping site and the escalation baseline; dsh-mode's clamp listener
takes the ladder minimum per call. Two independent log folds compose at
read time — the mode never writes the sandbox knob, so the two switch
in any order and the knob re-emerges intact on exit.
The built-in plan definition ships access: read-only with the bash trio
allowlisted CONDITIONALLY: both policy layers admit bash/bash_output/
bash_kill only while a confining executor is mounted (an unconfinable
shell cannot honor the cap), and a bash call carrying sandbox_permissions
under a cap is denied at the gate — no widening mid-mode; the widened
step belongs in the plan.
examples/plan-acp-agent swaps bash-local for sandbox-local +
bash-sandbox (workspace-write default, clamped read-only inside plan)
plus the approval seam; the re-recorded plan-mode arc runs a real cat
inside plan under the clamped sandbox, and modes-advertise now pins the
sandbox-mode and approval config options. RFC amended to the landed
shape (access cap section, orthogonality FAQ, deferred item resolved
into effects self-declaration).
The stack rebases onto a moved master through its base branch. Beyond
mechanical unions (both branches' demo scripts, example rows, service
roles, tool lists, acp deps, doc budgets — each side fit alone, the
union needs the higher ceilings), three semantic reconciliations:
- The ACP bridge now carries BOTH per-session surfaces: the sandbox
stack's config options + approval answerer and this branch's session
modes; session/new and session/load advertise modes AND configOptions
side by side.
- The feature matrix supersedes the sandbox stance per the RFC's
second-lander rule: session/set_mode and current_mode_update flip to
shipped-by-dsh-mode, config-option rows stay as #169 wrote them, and
§6 records both landed features under the picker-to-modes /
knobs-to-config-options division.
- The snapshot pin grammar (#254: one header snapshot + declared deltas
+ a Markdown prompt golden) gains a symmetric declaration for what a
delta cannot express: expectedHeaderSnapshots — a plan-mode flip
resorts the canonical tool list, so its widening lands as a second
full snapshot, now its own Markdown section. The pin-less-class and
model-turn-only-pin amendments carry over; new fixtures cover the
extended writer paths, and the plan-acp-agent scenarios re-recorded
under the merged composition (the app now bundles the skill tool)
with the suite's refresh mode wired through.
The with-key recording session the RFC deferred. plan-mode is the 'plan'
header class's pinning scenario and necessarily carries BOTH header
shapes verbatim: the plan-shaped initial snapshot and the widened
fallback snapshot the approved exit produces mid-turn — so the suite
factory's pin guards relax from exactly-one to at-least-one header (the
classmates' uniformity anchor is the pin's FIRST header; transition
headers are legal only in the pin, matching the sandbox stack's
precedent). plan-mode-reject pins the keep-planning branch: the
corrective isError carries the reviewer's free-text feedback verbatim
and the session stays in plan mode, one header, uniform with the pin.
Recording notes, encoded in the prompts: the model is pinned to RELATIVE
paths (a recorded absolute temp path neither replays on another host nor
normalizes — the normalizers scrub the run's own cwd, not the
recording's), and the recorded model never calls a filtered tool, so the
gate's deny path stays pinned at the unit tier — that refusal is the
behavior the soft layer exists to produce. The gen-tool-catalog
meta-test pins exit_plan_mode in the harvested schema list.
Plan mode's stage 2 (RFC 2026-07-07-plan-mode). The exit tool: one
required plan argument (the durable log artifact), execute re-checks the
folded mode, then conducts the review over the user-interaction seam —
one single-select question (Approve / Keep planning) with free text open
— so an approval appends mode/set back to default in-turn and every
other outcome (keep-planning feedback verbatim, aborted, no provider)
returns the corrective isError with the mode unchanged. presentCall is a
generic card titled by the plan's first heading carrying the plan
markdown; over ACP the review rides the ask_user elicitation flow, in
the terminal the stdio prompt queue — no approval-seam dependency.
The ACP bridge maps the picker 1:1 onto ctx.modes (opportunistic, a
type-only peer edge): session/new + session/load advertise
availableModes/currentModeId, session/set_mode validates through set()
and echoes an optimistic current_mode_update (the pending mode IS the
selection; the logged mode/set lands at the boundary and, matching, is
not re-sent), and a session/event listener re-notifies on each logged
flip that differs from the last sent — the tool-driven exit updates the
picker. The feature matrix rows move from 'not modeled' to the
picker-to-modes / knobs-to-config-options division, with the ACP v2
removal direction recorded as a mechanical-migration risk.
The snapshot harness gains the setMode/setModeExpectError ops and a
scripted elicitationAnswers FIFO (cancel on exhaustion; a stray choice
string reaches the agent verbatim as a non-consenting custom answer, so
a scenario bug fails safe). The suite factory's header-pin requirement
now applies only to model-turn scenarios — a protocol-only suite has no
header content to anchor. examples/plan-acp-agent is the live
composition; its keyless modes-advertise scenario pins the wire surface
(advertisement, both set_mode round-trips, unknown-id rejection). The
recorded plan-mode approve/reject arc awaits a with-key recording
session; its texts are pinned at the unit tier meanwhile.
examples/AGENTS.md ceiling 653 → 680: the new example's required smoke
row does not fit the old budget.
