The browse level now streams through opendir into a name-sorted window of
maxEntries + 1 candidates (boundedInsert), so memory stays O(maxEntries)
no matter how many children a directory holds and enterability probing
touches only windowed candidates; a windowed broken symlink is not
backfilled since the eviction already marks the level truncated.
schemastery joins the package's runtime dependencies (the source launcher
and isolated installs failed to resolve the value import). The
folder-error dialog's Choose again goes inert while the flow hole is
empty, and the withdrawal effect also keys on the open transition, so a
flow can never open over a hole nobody serves.
One list call now materializes at most maxEntries child rows (config,
default 1000 - GitHub's web-UI directory-listing bound). Candidates sort
before probing so a cut level keeps the name-sorted head and symlink
probing stops with the bound, and DirectoryListing carries a required
truncated flag on the seam and the wire so clients can state
incompleteness instead of silently missing tail entries.
The construction-rollback + late-conflict-rollback + loud-rethrow block was
about to be a verbatim clone across the two flow packages; ui-slots now owns
it as deferGroupRegistration (one occupant, several holes, as a unit), with
direct specs for all three arms, and the native flow consumes it.
Holes declared after two flow providers activated left the loser throwing
out of the slot flush with partial occupancy. deferRegistration gains an
onFailure channel (late failures unsubscribe, then hand over instead of
throwing through the flush); the native flow's pair rolls back wholesale
and re-raises on the global channel the boot's fail-loud handler owns.
Duplicate rows of the SAME package stay silently idempotent (the component
identity guard skips an occupied hole).
- Directory-flow occupancy moves onto the inject face's reserved hooks
compartment: apply publishes a stable observable per surface and the
renderer binds useDirectoryFlow — no hand-rolled component subscriptions
(the client contract's channel for registrant-private reactive facts).
- The native flow's alive guard re-arms in effect setup: StrictMode's
development replay ran the cleanup once and every later outcome was
discarded.
- NativeDirectoryFlow moves to a package-internal module; ./client exports
only the Loader surface, tests import the internal module directly.
- The composition swap comment no longer advertises -browse as a complete
swap before its dialog lands (stacked follow-up).
An HMR replacement left the old instance's pick promise able to adopt a
second path through the shared owner callbacks; settlements now check a
component-lifetime ref (an injected-face identity change alone keeps the
pending settlement — the host-side dialog is unchanged, and the wire has no
per-request abort). Both settlement arms covered (ds-review-bot).
A declared-but-occupied second hole registers synchronously, so the pair
construction can throw after the first deferral installed its subscription;
that orphan then fires against the failed fiber's inactive context. The
effect now disposes already-created deferrals before rethrowing
(ds-review-bot on the browse twin; same shape here).
A fresh injected face while the same request is open re-fires the effect;
the armed guard must not relaunch the chooser (the uncovered branch CI's
per-file gate flagged).
- While a picking flow is open (native chooser pending, browse dialog up) or
its pick is being adopted, every other menu action disables: a late outcome
must not race a concurrent selection or creation (ds-review-bot warning).
- ctx.directoryPicker joins the architecture Capability Services map (both
languages); neighboring rows condensed to keep the doc inside its ceiling.
- directory-picker-browse documents that its client half lands in the next
stacked PR: a -browse composition today hides the picking affordance (the
documented empty-hole default) rather than misbehaving (ds-review-bot
critical; the dialog itself ships in #821).
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.
ui-workspace's two trigger surfaces each declare a single-kind directory-flow
hole (conversation.hero.workspace.directoryFlow / sidebar.workspaces.directoryFlow,
same owner contract) and keep only the trigger and the adoption: the Open-local-
folder entry renders while the surface's hole is occupied, and the occupant
reports one picked path per open through the hole's owner conversation
(open/busy/onPicked/onCancel/onError).
directory-picker-native becomes dual-face: its browser half fills both holes
with a renderless occupant driving host.pickDirectory, so the cordis.yml row
that mounts the backend also composes the client interaction — a mismatch is
impossible and a second flow package fails at client load.
With composition wiring both sides, the host.describe.directoryPicker
advertisement and the client's kind branching lose their last consumer:
the field, WorkspacesService.directoryPickerKind(), the DirectoryPickerKind
wire type, and the picker's per-open describe read are deleted. The connection
fixture now serves a deterministic pickDirectory path so the keyless snapshot
drives the full pick-then-adopt flow. ui-workspace's hand-rolled declaration
deferral is replaced by the deferRegistration helper it duplicated.
master's toolcall-open extracted runNativeCommand inside apiproxy for the
openPath opener while the picker seam had moved the native chooser (its other
consumer) into directory-picker-native; after the merge the two packages each
carried a verbatim copy. The runner now lives in packages/util/native-command
(zero-dependency library, per the util-group contract) and both native
integrations depend on it.
The browse interaction also presents a dialog (the in-app modal), so 'dialog'
failed to discriminate the two capability kinds; 'native' names where the
chooser runs. Package directory-picker-dialog -> directory-picker-native, kind
'dialog' -> 'native', with every seam/gateway/client/doc reference updated and
the seam Agent Note's naming rationale rewritten to match.
ds-review-bot round 5: '\\' and '\\server' satisfy win32.isAbsolute and
the previous two-separator test, yet resolve() collapses them to
drive-relative roots. The UNC arm now requires server and share components;
incomplete prefixes reject with the business codes, covered per-platform.
ds-review-bot round 4. On Windows, isAbsolute admits rooted drive-less
forms (\foo, /foo) that resolve() then rebases onto the process's current
drive; both browse primitives now gate on a fullyQualified check (drive
letter or UNC on win32, POSIX-absolute elsewhere) with a platform test
seam, per-platform unit cases, and the contract wording updated on the
seam, the backend README pair, and the error messages.
The picker-kind effect also kept a resolved 'dialog' across close, so a
backend swapped while the menu was closed could paint the stale entry for
one frame on reopen; the close arm now clears the state, pinned by a
reopen-under-pending-read race test.
ds-review-bot round 3. The seam package broke the service-package export
contract (named export only), so the config catalog filed it under Other
libraries and default imports failed; it now default-exports DirectoryPicker
like every abstract seam, and the regenerated catalog lists it as one.
The picker-kind effect also let a settlement from a superseded flow open
leak into the current one (close/reopen mid-describe, or a reconnect that
swaps the backend): the read now resets the affordance on every open and a
cleanup-toggled flag discards obsolete settlements, both directions pinned
by jsdom races.
ds-review-bot round 2. The workspace UI never consulted the advertised
directoryPicker kind: under a browse (or merge-added) backend it still
rendered 'Open local folder…' and called pickDirectory(), which the host
answers with directory-picker-unavailable. The create flow now reads
directoryPickerKind() per menu open and renders the dialog affordance only
under 'dialog' — browse (until its in-app browser UI lands) and unknown
kinds hide the entry, realizing the seam's documented default; a keyless
workspace-flow snapshot pins the hidden entry over the browse fixture.
The browse backend also resolved wire paths, silently rebasing '' or
relative parents under the host process cwd; both primitives now reject
non-absolute explicit paths with their business codes, and the seam JSDoc
carries the contract.
ds-review-bot round 1: the seam documented a merge-extensible union but
shipped a closed alias, and the gateway schema rejected any kind beyond
dialog/browse — a third backend could neither implement the seam nor be
advertised. The union now derives from an augmentable DirectoryPickerCapabilities
map, host.describe.directoryPicker preserves unknown wire kinds, and the
browse fixture applies listDirectory's root special case so creating under
'/' no longer mints a '//name' identity.
The full-suite coverage gate found the new listDirectory/createDirectory
client methods and handler routes unexecuted: the implementation and
schema layers were tested directly, but nothing crossed the wire form.
One round trip through InProcessApiClient covers both arrows on each
side.
The web GUI's folder picking was hardwired to one interaction: a native
OS chooser compiled into the gateway, unusable for remote deployments
and swappable only by editing apiproxy source.
Directory picking becomes a three-package capability seam in
packages/host: ctx.directoryPicker returns a discriminated capability —
dialog (the extracted native chooser; host-display only) or browse
(new: one-level listing + child creation over Node stdlib, hidden flags
host-stamped, symlinks followed, ancestry crumbs; remote-capable). The
gateway injects the seam, advertises the kind via
host.describe.directoryPicker, serves host.listDirectory /
host.createDirectory under browse, and answers
directory-picker-unavailable across kinds. cordis.yml is the swap
point; apps/cli keeps dialog mounted, so behavior is unchanged until
the in-app browser PR flips the default. The connection fixture serves
a deterministic browse tree; WorkspacesService gains the browse calls
the browser UI will drive. Decision record:
.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-28-directory-picker-capability-seam.md
Both web-GUI groups shipped without the group README that the packages
table names as each group's canonical package/ctx-key map, and without
rows in that table. Adds both bilingual pairs, the two table rows
(ceiling 835→870: two genuinely new product groups joined the canonical
table at minimal row width), and fixes webserver README drift
(WebServerService/ctx.webServer → HttpServerService/ctx.httpServer,
matching src/index.ts).
The only browser-trust guard covered host.pickDirectory, while the
consequential methods (session.prompt drives bash) accepted any Host —
open to DNS rebinding, where a rebound page reads and writes the API as
if same-origin and only the Host header betrays the attacker's domain.
The pickDirectory-specific loopback guard becomes a prefix-wide fence:
Host must be loopback or an exact host[:port] from the new trustedHosts
config, an attached Origin must equal that authority, and explicit
cross-site markers are refused; requests without browser markers (curl,
tests, native clients) pass, because without a browser there is no
confused deputy. The loopback-socket check is dropped — binding policy
expresses reachability, and the fence is not an auth layer. The Agent
Note records the full threat model and the alternatives.
Browsers send "simple" POSTs (text/plain, form encodings) without a CORS
preflight, so a malicious page could execute side-effectful RPCs blind —
the response stays unreadable cross-origin, but session.prompt would
still run. The carrier now answers 415 unless the declared media type is
application/json, forcing every cross-site attempt into a preflight this
server never answers. Raw-fetch specs gain the header; a new handler case
proves the fence rejects before the impl runs.
Lint: eslint --fix over the merge-crossed projection/command files (arrow
parens, trailing commas, unnecessary assertions), Extract<> replaces the
keyof-map & string intersections no-redundant-type-constituents rejects,
the fold-adapter's merge loop drops its non-null assertions for a
bounds-carrying cursor, one JSDoc line wrapped under max-len (api-catalog
regenerated). Snapshots: the four TUI goldens re-recorded for the merged
event-count shift (the durable command lifecycle adds one event to the
seeded diagnostics log). The headless advanced-toolchain snapshot passes
on CI and fails locally in this sandbox both with and without these
changes (30s child timeout — environment-bound, tracked in the ledger).
The master merge left the generated catalogs/module graph stale, the
python runtime closure missing dsh-session-projection (now reached
through session-title and tool-todo), and apiproxy holding a dead
session-title dependency (the bespoke title frame is retired). The four
files the merge pushed under the per-file coverage floor (commands
executor + invariant, projection registry drive tails, TUI) join the
existing TODO(gui) deferral block per the GUI-lane policy; the remaining
coverage-run failures reproduce identically on pure origin/master
(environment-bound suites: sdk process exit, TUI PTY timing, workflow
worker timing, title loader slow-boot) and are not this branch's debt.
The master merge brought the session.models/selectModel contract paragraph
and re-introduced the todos-rider description this branch had retired;
session-level projections ride the generic projections block. Chinese side
synced, pairing re-recorded.
commandId crosses three boundaries (session log, wire admission response,
client flow pairing), so per the branded-id rule it becomes
Branded<'CommandId'>, declared in a new pure @deepseek-ai/dsh-commands/brand
outlet (the dsh-llm/brand shape: type + constructor, no Context merges, so
wire and client programs can name it without loading the host plugin). The
event payloads, CommandExecution, and the executor mint carry the brand; the
wire schema gains commandIdSchema as the domain's single brand-cast point
(the approvals precedent); CommandNode and the fixture's fabrication cast
follow type-only.
New zh pairs for the session-projection group and package READMEs (both
gained their missing language-switcher lines); the packages/README rows,
apiproxy README, and tool-todo README zh sides catch up with their edited
English; the group README's stale ProjectionProvider name becomes
ProjectionDefinition. RFC precision from review: asOfSeq is the last
event's seq (session.seq - 1, -1 empty; subscribed.lastSeq vocabulary) and
a new risk names the accepted dev-only staleness window when registry
churn changes the key set mid-session. Pairing re-recorded; 540 pairs
consistent.
