The Web overlay disables base's 32 agent-plane rows and mounts the preset
roster instead, so each session composes its own tools and prompt rather than
sharing one process-wide set. The TUI keeps base unchanged: it is single-session
and composing its agent process-wide is correct there.
`roots` is patched in by AppCLIEntry, like `distIndex`: the shipped presets sit
beside the composition that names them and the user's live under the Harness
home, neither of which a config author chooses.
A session's preset is fixed at creation. Naming a different one for an existing
identity is `agent-preset-conflict` rather than a switch, because that
session's history was produced under the first preset's tools. The guard sits
after `await creation`, beside the cwd check, so it covers every path that
yields a live agent — freshly created, adopted live, resumed, or recovered by
the concurrent-creation catch. A request naming no preset adopts the session as
it is, keeping reconnect and retry ordinary.
Two bugs the real-composition test caught, both invisible to unit tests:
`PresetTree` now refuses to write. The Loader persists a tree whose plugin
self-disposed, and tearing an agent down disposes its whole subtree — inherited,
that rewrote the shipped composition, truncating a 241-line preset to `[]` the
first time a session ended.
`dsh-tool-skill` compared against a lookup of its own name in the global layer,
so it threw inside any preset: `register()` files into the calling context's
scope. It now compares against the definition it registered, which is what the
identity check meant all along.
The `standard` catalog is asserted exactly, not spot-checked: a row that
registers into the wrong layer mounts cleanly and simply contributes nothing, so
an omission is this design's quietest failure. It matches the shipped TUI
catalog plus `glob`/`grep`, the pair that composition documents as
ripgrep-dependent.
Re-records `cordis-inspect-jsdoc`, whose rendered `SessionHeader` gains the
`agentPreset` field. `fs-glob-sampling` fails identically on pristine master
and is untouched here.
The browser e2e scaffold gains the roster fact AppCLIEntry supplies. `roots` is
resolved and patched in by the CLI entry, like `distIndex` on the webserver row,
and this lane boots the shipped tree without that entry — so it has to supply
the same fact or the roster resolves nothing and every session in the lane
composes an agent with no tools, no persona, and no token meter. Only the
shipped root: a developer's own `~/.dsh/.agent-presets` must not decide a golden. The
`cordis:group` builtin comes with it, exactly as `boot()` registers it, because
a preset resolving package names from its own directory cannot reach
`@cordisjs/plugin-group` by name.
The lane stays red through this layer and the next four for the reason stated
above — the api-proxy injects `subagents`, `workspace`, and `tools`, so
`api-gateway` cannot activate and the browser has no `/api` at all. It goes
green again in the layer that returns those registries to the host plane; this
change is what makes that layer's fix sufficient rather than partial.
All agent/* and agent-loop/config-start-failed events take one payload
object carrying the agent subject; waterfall/serial payloads require a
signal and keep next as the final argument. PreStepContext and
RequestFailureContext are unfolded into payloads and retired.
goal/changed follows the same shape so agentEvents keeps its listener
error containment. ReactLoopAgent builds its scope carrier once in the
constructor. Regenerates scope resolvers, tool-cordis api catalog, and
docs catalogs; updates all affected listeners, tests, and the
core-data-structures docs (en + zh).
- `catalogHistory` validated its durable read. `agent.session.events` is a
JSONL/SQLite seed on resume or fork, and seed validation guarantees only a
source object with a non-empty `kind`; a `skill-catalog` record with missing
or wrongly shaped `entries` threw inside the step listener, failing every
later turn of that session. It is now skipped as an unrecognizable record,
the posture the replaced content digest had, with a regression test over six
malformed shapes.
- The headless keyless smoke still filtered catalogs by the old plugin source,
so the `built-bin-smoke` gate would not have found the catalog message.
- Entries record the published description unescaped. The pseudo-XML escaping
belongs to the `<available_skills>` frame and is applied when rendering it,
so a description containing `<` no longer reaches the card as `<`.
`escapeText` is injective, so republish semantics and the model-facing text
are unchanged.
- Adjacent text blocks join with no separator, matching how provider adapters
flatten them; the body no longer shows a line break the model never saw.
- Provenance fields are bounded like the text: an unknown producer may record
an arbitrarily large value.
- Both readers are all-or-nothing, and the row's form marker reports what
rendered rather than what was declared, so a partly unreadable record cannot
present a confident but incomplete account.
- The catalog body consumes `update` as a replacement notice; the digest
canonicalizes per entry as JSON, since every separator character is itself
legal in a description.
- `core.md` documents the form axis with a `ContextForm` type-equiv block, and
both projections assert the wiring they duplicate.
Injected context reached the transcript as one anonymous shape whose
expanded body was the whole message serialized as inline JSON, so the
escaping collapsed the only readable part — the model-facing prose —
into a single line.
`MessageSource` gains an optional producer-declared `form`, a small
semantic vocabulary of information shapes independent of `kind`: kind
says who produced the context, form says what shape it is, so several
producers may share one presentation. Two values ship.
`instructions` (workspace-context) lists the reconciled files above
their text and keeps the `<system-reminder>` framing verbatim, because
the framing is part of what the model read. `catalog` moves dsh-tool-skill
off the shared plugin kind onto a `skill-catalog` source carrying the
published name/description entries, and the body lists those instead of
re-parsing `<available_skills>` out of the prose. Catalog identity moves
with it: the republish digest now covers the durable entries, deleting
the text-slicing that recovered them from a logged message.
Everything else renders the opaque body — the model-facing text with its
real line breaks, then the remaining provenance as fields. That is the
documented default, not a leftover: a resumed, forked, or foreign log
must render whether or not its producer is mounted here, which is why
the classification lives in the durable source rather than a client-side
table keyed by producer.
