Both Workspace surfaces offered "Open local folder…" and "Create a new
workspace" for one outcome. The browse occupant already carries its own
New folder affordance, so picking a directory covered creating one; the
name dialog only added a second vocabulary and a create target the
operator could neither see nor choose.
The surviving entry is named after the outcome — "Add workspace…" — and a
menu now appears only where there is something to choose between: with no
Workspace listed (the add-only sidebar header, or an empty hero list) the
anchor gesture raises the directory flow directly instead of a one-row
popover. An empty list counts as final only after the list baseline lands,
and a composition with no directory-flow occupant hides the sidebar button
rather than offering a dead one.
WorkspaceCreateFlow becomes WorkspacePickFlow (createOnly -> addOnly) and
the injected createWorkspace narrows to { path }. The host's
workspace.create({ name }) branch and `dsh web --workspace-root` lost their
last product consumer; both are marked at the call site for a follow-up.
workspace.archiveSession answers the full updated archive set;
workspace.list carries the set as the reconnect baseline; the host
stream pushes host/archived-sessions-changed full snapshots from the
domain/changed global-put branch (same posture as workspace-changed).
Unknown sessions map to the existing session-not-found code.
The remaining P1 from the #939 review, plus the P2 it shares a mechanism with.
Nothing carried a version, so two tabs editing one namespace silently
overwrote each other — reproduced as tab B's `reasoning` lost to tab A's
older draft. The seam's per-namespace write queue orders writes; it cannot
tell a fresh writer from one replaying a snapshot a predecessor superseded.
Each namespace now carries a monotonic `revision` over its RAW section. A
write may send `expectedRevision`, checked at the FRONT of the queue (not at
call time, which would race the very predecessor it guards against); a
mismatch rejects with `SettingsConflictError` → `settings-conflict` on the
wire, carrying both revisions. The editor captures the revision it opened at
and, on conflict, asks the user to reopen rather than replaying its snapshot.
The same counter fixes the missing broadcast. `settings/updated` is gated on
the resolved value — correct for consumers, wrong for configuration surfaces:
storing an override equal to the composition base leaves the resolved value
alone while changing what the document says (the field is now overridden, not
inherited) and moving every open editor's revision. `settings/document-updated
(ns, revision)` fires on any raw-section change, in-process or external, and
`host/settings-changed` now rides it.
That event also closes the stale model picker: editing a provider's `models`
changes no route, so `llm/adapters-updated` never fired and an open picker
kept serving the old catalog. A change to an exposed provider namespace now
emits `host/models-changed` too — that namespace holds the catalog.
Docs: both sides of the five touched README pairs, a type-equiv block for
`SettingsPathOp`, and an Agent Note recording what the plane exposes and who
may overwrite what. The deferred wire-redaction gaps (secrets behind
union/intersection/transform, `.default(...)` in the served envelope, schema
text in rejection messages, `new Function` rehydration, pi-ai's `headers`) are
recorded as TODO(settings-wire-redaction) and in Known Limitations rather than
half-fixed.
Five findings from the #939 review, each reproduced before being fixed.
**Configuration reads are as privileged as writes.** `settings.describe`
returns every exposed namespace's configuration and `credentials.describe`
reports whether an arbitrary environment-variable name is configured and from
where — reconnaissance no anonymous caller should have. Both join
PRIVILEGED_METHODS, so the whole configuration plane is loopback-only until
real authentication exists; `trustedHosts` was never authentication. The model
catalog stays reachable: it carries no endpoints or key state, and a LAN
client's model picker legitimately needs it. Asserted over a real HTTP server,
because the Host header a browser actually sends is what decides this.
**The proxy serves only namespaces a registered model provider addresses.**
The settings seam is general — any plugin may register one — but the Web
configuration plane is the model-provider surface. Without the gate, every
future `settings.register()` would silently become remotely readable and
writable configuration. An unregistered namespace and an unexposed one answer
identically, so no caller can enumerate the registry one probe at a time.
**Path-addressed writes replace the redacted-document rebuild.** The editor
reads the REDACTED descriptor, so rebuilding a section from it and replacing
wholesale deleted every literal secret the wire never returned — reproduced as
`{baseURL, reasoning}` in, stored `apiKey` gone out. `settings.mutate` applies
set/unset ops to the section as it stands at the front of the seam's write
queue, and the client names only fields it can see, so an unseen secret is
untouched by construction rather than by care.
P2s in the same pass: `llm/adapters-updated` now contains async listener
rejections (an uncontained one escaped as unhandledRejection, contradicting
the documented "observer failures are contained"); llm-deepseek's retry-policy
swap uses the atomic `registration.replace` instead of dispose-then-register,
which published `[]` then `["deepseek-official"]` so an observer saw the
provider disappear and come back; and a transport rejection no longer strands
the page in `loading` or a card in `busy`, with removal failures surfaced on
the page banner instead of swallowed.
A plugin owning a standalone open/close bracket cannot tell a dead marker
from a live one: an unmatched `compact/start` reads identically whether the
previous writer died mid-compaction or a compaction is running now.
`Session.firstLiveSeq` already holds that answer exactly, but only in memory.
Append the log-only `session/inherited` event at that seq from the seeded
constructor — the single waist all six seeded-start paths pass through
(resume, configured startup on a persisted id, `sessions.fork()`, a subagent
fork child, `adopt()`'s live prefix, and a bare seeded `create`). Read it
through the new `isInheritedSeq(events, seq)`.
The constructor placement means persistence needs no changes: the marker is
already in `events` when a backend captures the creation seed, so it rides
the ordinary seed path with no load-time write. It also covers fork, where
the inherited bracket's owner may still be running — the case a
persistence-layer boundary could not reach.
Activity ordering excludes the boundary through `lastActivityTime()`, since
lazy resume makes browsing a pickup and the three call sites would otherwise
float every opened session to the top of a picker or list.
Conflict resolutions:
- `session.list`: master's projection columns fold into the PR's cancellable,
batched `listVisibleSessionSummaries`, which `session.search` shares as its
visibility baseline; master's goal helpers stay beside it.
- Client sessions face: master narrowed `ctx.sessions` to `ISessions`, so the
search verb and its protocol-constant bound are declared there and the
test-runtime double implements them (recorded, empty page unless a scenario
stubs hits).
- `WorkspaceBrowser`: master's per-row Rename wiring rides the PR's search
results view; the tree keeps the PR's query-free derivations.
- `dsh web` bin: the PR's shutdown-handlers-before-readiness order with
master's boot-time LAN address snapshot.
- `session-query-sqlite`: master's `SCHEMA_VERSION` 7 stands; the PR's bump
carried no schema change.
- Specs: master wraps assistant/steering message payloads and requires an
`application/json` carrier request, so the search fixtures and tests follow.
- Web aria goldens keep master's recording plus the PR's search placeholder;
the navigation-panes inventory keeps master's terminal-card golden next to
the PR's search-results golden.
Conflicts, all in files this branch and master both touched:
- `chat/helpers.ts` — kept both sides. Master replaced the inline env
filter in `gitBranch` with `scrubbedParentEnv()`; this branch added the
surface-marker and compaction-source imports.
- `docs/module-graph.md` — regenerated. Both sides added a `tui` edge
(master `subprocess`, this branch `compact`); the generated row now
carries both.
- Three `.i18n.yaml` pairing records — re-recorded from the merged files.
Blob hashes cannot be hand-merged, and both sides' prose survives on
each side of every pair.
`docs/cordis-catalog/services.md` also regenerated for shifted source
lines and master's new `sessionTitle.rename` entry.
Eight compiler-locked methods: settings.describe/update/replace serve
redacted layered namespace views (secrets structurally absent from every
layer, write-only in the update direction) and fold seam refusals into
settings-rejected; credentials.describe/set/unset expose value-free views
with credential-rejected on shadowed writes; llm.providers merges the
configurable directory with live routes and llm.models claims the
host-scoped catalog reservation through the buildModelCatalog extraction
session.models now shares. Three HostFrame invalidations bridge the seam
events (host/settings-changed, host/credentials-changed,
host/models-changed), and the connection route generalizes the native-
dialog check into a privileged-method set covering all four writes. The
fixture and both fake clients grow the same face.
The rename impl narrows on SessionTitleInvalidError: only an
empty-normalizing title maps to title-invalid (its message renders verbatim
in the rename dialog alert), while liveness/disposal races fall to internal;
the absent-service message trims to one presentable sentence. rpc-schemas
gains the title-invalid accept/missing-details lines; cosmetic ordering
(type-only import comment, tsconfig reference, schema import order) restored.
New unary method in RpcMethodMap with the title-invalid error code; the impl
resolves the agent (cold sessions resume first) and delegates to
ctx.sessionTitle.rename, returning the normalized title plus its event seq so
clients settle the title projection cell ahead of the push frame. session.fork
stays on the reserved-seam list.
Review follow-ups on the append-origin transcript projection.
The live/replay equivalence claim was stated unconditionally but does not
cover `tool/call`: only replay re-derives call pairing, because a call
event carries no `surfaceOp` of its own and inherits transcript
membership from the `assistant/message` that advertised it — which the
live listener has necessarily just rendered. Narrow the claim in the TUI
README and Agent Note, and record at `rebuildTranscript` why the filter
is replay-only rather than a missing live branch.
Add `surface-replayed-compaction`: the three existing fixtures all come
from the live path, leaving the resume case the bug report leads with
pinned only by a unit test. The new checkpoint mounts with the
replacement already stored and records byte-identical to
`surface-after-compaction-wide`, so the two fixtures now pin the
equivalence they assert. The shared fixture appends move into
`appendPreCompactionLog` / `appendCompactionCheckpoint`.
`MESSAGE_TYPES` is not "human message event types" — it includes
`assistant/message`. Say what the code distinguishes (append-origin
conversation messages vs. model-only replacement copies) at the const,
the `paginate` and `session.history` JSDoc, the apiproxy README, and the
Agent Note.
Also: spell the replace shape as `Extract<SurfaceOp, { op: 'replace' }>`
for symmetry with the module's two other uses; document why
`isCompactCheckpoint` keeps a replacement check that is redundant at both
call sites; say that Ctrl+R toggles reasoning, which rebuilds the
transcript; and qualify "the sole source of derived history" as derived
*model* history now that the transcript is the other projection.
The terminal and history pagination both treated the model-visible surface as
the human transcript. A landed compaction replacement therefore erased the
conversation it summarized — messages the reader had already seen — and a
model-only replacement copy consumed a page's `maxMessages` quota, which could
also split a compaction's provenance from the replacement citing it.
`dsh-session` now exports the marker split `isAppendSurfaceEvent` /
`isReplacementSurfaceEvent`. The terminal replays append-origin surface events,
keeps a shadowed step's tool cards paired through its append-origin assistant
message, and renders one dim marker where a compaction landed; the checkpoint is
recognized through the compaction seam's `isCompactCheckpointSource` contract,
not the shape of the replacement. `session.history` counts only append-origin
human messages. Everything model-facing keeps reading `session.surface`.
Two races from the #572 review, still live in the ported registry:
An ask whose signal aborted between the service's own check and the
microtask-deferred waterfall dispatch would register its abort listener
AFTER the signal fired — never invoked, entry pending forever, zombie
frame on every mux replay. The answerer now settles 'cancelled'
synchronously before publishing anything.
The audit back-scan let a callId-less ask claim the newest unclaimed
asked record even when that record carried another call's id. Pairing is
now shape-symmetric: callId-bearing asks take exactly their call's
record, callId-less asks take only callId-less records — neither can
steal under parallel asks.
Disposability parity with the question provider: a gateway disposed while
approvals are pending settles every registry entry as 'cancelled' (the
service's fail-closed vocabulary), so no ctx.approval ask dangles past the
proxy's lifetime and mux subscribers see the withdrawal. Spec mounts the
proxy on its own fiber and drives dispose with a live ask.
Addresses the ds-review-bot suggestion on PR #851.
Every filesystem await in the browse scan (opendir and each read) now
races the signal through raceAbort, so a stalled network open/read stops
with a departed caller and an already-aborted request rejects even for
an empty level; the abandoned settlement is swallowed and an abandoned
open that still mints a handle is closed, never leaked. apiproxy maps an
aborted listing to the cancelled wire code, matching pickDirectory and
command.execute, instead of reporting a false internal failure. The
fixture spec call sites gain the wire signal argument the previous
commit's static lane flagged.
capability.list gains an optional AbortSignal threaded from the RPC
carrier's request signal (the pickDirectory pattern): a disconnected or
timed-out caller stops the opendir loop instead of the scan outliving
its caller, and the abort surfaces as its own reason rather than a
directory-unreadable dressing. boundedInsert rejects a full window's
at-or-beyond-tail candidate on one comparison and binary-inserts
retained candidates, so an oversized level no longer pays a window scan
per dirent.
Shared-surface conflicts resolve as unions: the fixture serves all five
projection keys (title/todos/permissions/plan/goal) with the /permission
and /plan command mirrors side by side, the connection specs assert the
five-key baseline and the shifted approval/question replay indices, and
the cli roster/deps, tsconfig aggregate, and README allowlist carry both
lines' rows. Plan-side content lands verbatim from master.
One end-state consolidation both branches half-did: with questions
(ui-question) and approvals (ApprovalPanel) each owning a composer
takeover, PendingCard retires outright — ChatView renders no pending
placeholder, the card component and its specs go, and both README halves
state the takeover-only contract.
Union resolutions throughout — the fixture serves both the goal and plan
projection units (catalog gains /goal beside /plan; the retired
goal-fixture sample command yields to the real goal mirror), the mux
baseline spec expects all four unit frames, and the tsconfig paths /
Model Experience allowlist carry both domains' outlets.
Shared-surface conflicts resolve as unions: the fixture serves all four
projection keys (title/todos/permissions/goal) with both the /permission
and /goal command mirrors (the goal-fixture placeholder retires with
master), apps/cli carries both lines' dependency additions, and the README
Model Experience allowlist keeps both entries. The connection specs assert
the four-key baseline and the shifted approval/question replay indices;
the module graph regenerates over the merged dependency set.
Three ui-conversation spec conflicts resolve to master's SlotTestRuntime
rewrites. Adaptation to the new outward session face: ISession gains the
command verb (the composer chip and the /permission picker submit through
it), FixtureSession grows the matching fail-loud stub plus the
waitingApproval summary default, and the picker reads the projection
through projections.faceOf (the ProjectionsFace shape) instead of the
retired store getter.
The summary blank bit switches from log emptiness to the absence of any
turn/start: standalone plugin events — command lifecycle records,
plan/mode, session titles, goal metadata — no longer surface a fresh
session in lists or steal the New Session view. Running /plan (or /goal)
on a blank session keeps it blank and reusable; the first accepted
prompt's turn clears it. Both carriers share one predicate (summarize +
the host/session-added frame); the cold path keeps its constant false
with the index-read rationale; the client mirror already flips only on
prompt acceptance and needed no change.
Review finding (PR #791): the column carried bare values (no seq), so the
client could not seed its value store without risking a stale list block
outranking newer push frames — and nothing consumed the column at all,
leaving cold titles absent after a restart. SessionSummary.projections is
now the same SessionProjectionsBlock as the history tail (values +
asOfSeq; attached rows cut the live registry, cold rows serve the cache's
identity-checked cachedSnapshot whose asOfSeq is the lowest served-row
watermark). SessionManager.refreshList seeds each row's block into the
per-session projection store via per-key apply — partial-baseline
semantics: an absent key never clears, and higher-seq-wins keeps stale
list blocks beneath push frames and tail baselines — so cold titles
surface in the sidebar without opening a session.
SessionSummary grows an optional projections column (whole value per key,
same passthrough posture as the history-tail block): attached rows cut the
live registry watermark cache; cold rows view the persisted projection
cache's stored rows via the new registry viewCheckpoint face (version-
matching keys only, zero I/O) — the RFC's motivating scenario, every
session's title across a listing without loading one event log. The column
is fail-soft and absence-coded: no registry, no cache row, or a throwing
read serve the row without the column, never breaking the listing.
