The Codex simplification concern plus the duplication comment on the spawn
apply, resolved by deletion: the backend-lifetime holds are gone, so the
runtime registers at the first structured run and disposes when the last
settles — a deployment that never passes outputSchema carries no always-on
global state, and there is no per-backend acquisition block left to extract.
The driver spec now drives an INLINE spawn-shaped provider over
startInProcessRun, which removes the spawn/fork devDependencies (the
test-only workspace cycle); plugin-level structured coverage moves to the
backends' own specs (capture through the shipped plugin, mid-run backend
unload, seeded fork capture). tools.md, the driver README, and both backend
READMEs describe the run-scoped lifetime; the module-graph regenerates
without the cycle edges.
The cross-seam blocker: structured_output recorded its value in the tool
BODY, before tools/post-execute could block the call — a PostToolUse hook's
block turned the logged result into isError while readResult still returned
structured success and the continuation veto ended the turn.
Two-phase commit: the body validates and STAGES (RunState.pending); a fourth
runtime listener on tools/post-execute — prepend, so await next() returns the
composed final decision — promotes the stage to captured only on an accepted
call, and clears it on every path. A block now yields a consistent pair: the
model and log see the isError feedback, the run settles error with no
structured value, and the turn continues so the model can react. Regressions:
block denies the capture end-to-end; accept-with-replacement still commits.
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).
Two human review directives:
- No re-prompt. A structured child that finishes a turn cleanly without
calling structured_output settles error to the parent immediately —
readResult already carried that mapping; the nudge loop only delayed it.
Deletes the loop, its cancellation-window guard, STRUCTURED_OUTPUT_NUDGE,
and the structuredNudgeRetries Config on both backends.
- FIXME in the structured module doc: per-agent/per-session tool registry and
prompt assembly would dissolve the final-assembly enforcement dance (the
placeholder tool, the swap, the strip, the global-registration lifetime).
Two bot findings on the structured runtime:
- Terminal means terminal WITHIN the step: a model response listing
structured_output before further tool calls executed those calls after the
final answer was accepted (the turn-continuation veto only fires at step
end). A third runtime listener now denies every call for a captured agent
at the tools/pre-execute gate — dispatch skipped, isError result naming the
contract. Calls preceding the capture in the same response are untouched.
- The output schema is structuredClone'd before the subset assertion: the
caller keeps its reference, so asserting and attaching the original let a
post-start() mutation drift the enforced schema away from the asserted one.
The clone pins assertion, model-visible parameters, and validation to one
value.
Carved out of #170 per review feedback — the foundation the workflow tool
builds on, now standing alone on master:
- dsh-tools: the structured-output JSON Schema subset (StructuredOutputSchema,
assertSupportedOutputSchema, validateStructuredValue) — rejects loud outside
the enforced subset, listing every violation
- dsh-subagent: SubagentStartRequest.outputSchema / SubagentResult.structured
become a real capability; the service rejects a schema'd request whose
provider lacks it
- dsh-subagent-inprocess: the shared structured runtime — one global
structured_output capture tool, a prepend final-assembly listener that
strips the placeholder for plain agents and swaps in the run's own schema
(plus the calling instruction as a trailing section) for structured
children, an agent/turn-continuation veto once captured, and the
capture/nudge loop in the run driver (structuredNudgeRetries, cancellation
honored mid-nudge); lifetime refcounted by backends and live runs
- subagent-spawn / subagent-fork flip outputSchema: true
One deliberate divergence from the #170 revision: the backends do NOT add
'tools' to their plugin inject. Doing so deferred their apply past the todo
plugin, and the delegation tool mirrors provider lifecycle — so the
model-visible tool order of every existing prompt changed, invalidating every
recorded snapshot fixture. The runtime now gates its capture-tool registration
on tools availability itself (sync when live, a scoped inject fiber when the
Loader starts the backend first), keeping this PR byte-invisible to existing
transcripts: all 35 snapshot scenarios pass against master's fixtures
unchanged.
New doc-sync gate verify-export-jsdoc walks every module-level exported
name under packages/*/*/src and requires description prose everywhere,
plus @param per parameter and @returns on non-void annotated returns for
function-like exports, public class methods, properties, and accessors.
The parsing + check helpers move out of gen-cordis-catalog.ts into a
shared scripts/jsdoc.ts so 'documented' means one thing on both gated
surfaces.
Deliberate exemptions (documented in the RFC): heritage-declared class
members (the seam declaration is the doc's one home — the one checker
query in an otherwise pure-AST walk), cordis plugin-protocol slots
(name/inject/reusable/Config/apply, top-level and static), constructors,
overload implementations, declare-module augmentation bodies, and
re-export statements (checked at the defining module).
The 203 under-documented exports the gate found at adoption are filled
in this change, so the gate lands green; generated catalogs/graphs are
regenerated for the shifted line pointers.

Review round 2 (tianyicui inline comments):
- dsh-system-prompt itself registers the harness:identity (-100) and
deployment:persona (0) sections — they must survive a swapped loop
plugin, so they leave dsh-agent-loop; the persona text is the plugin's
own validated 'persona' config. The model/cwd variables STAY on the
loop: runtime facts of the agents it drives.
- AgentOptions.systemPrompt is deleted with all its forwarding plumbing:
the app configs' systemPrompt keys become 'persona' routed through
dsh-agent-core (schema = z.intersect of the owners'), the ACP bridge
and tool-subagent stop carrying persona configuration, and subagent
children now render the deployment persona like every other agent.
- Example personas drop transport/interface trivia (ACP, CLI) — facts
irrelevant to the model.
- Root CONTEXT.md removed (not idiomatic); its persona definition was
wrong under the new ownership anyway.
- Docs, READMEs, the prompt-variables RFC, and generated catalogs
updated; new loop test pins the assemble-waterfall escape valve
(an emptied assembly sends NO system field).
A fork subagent seeds its child session with a prefix of the parent's log, and
that seed becomes the child's persisted log — so a fork child's .jsonl begins
with the PARENT's events, including the parent's assistant/chunk events. The
snapshot replay harness derived a child's script from its whole log, which would
replay the parent's recorded responses as the child's model calls. Spawn-only
scenarios never hit it, but a fork snapshot would mis-route silently.
Record the seed boundary and skip the inherited prefix at replay:
- SessionHeader gains an optional `seedLength` (how many leading events were
inherited via a seed), threaded through CreateSessionOptions/CreateAgentOptions
meta and stamped by the fork backend (= seeded-prefix length; absent for spawn).
It is EXPLICIT, never inferred from seed.length: a resume seeds the whole stored
log, so the resume path passes the persisted boundary back.
- Both persistence backends round-trip it: JSONL header line, SQLite seed_length
column. The SQLite table change bumps SCHEMA_VERSION 2->3; per the pre-release
stance the backend rejects an older user_version on open with NO migration.
- llm-replay's parseSessionHeader reads seedLength and loadSessionScripts derives
a child script from events AFTER the boundary. seedLength is 0 for spawn, so
spawn replay is byte-for-byte unchanged.
Closes the routing-correctness gap the per-session snapshot replay RFC under-
stated; a recorded fork scenario remains a future addition but now derives
correctly. RFC: docs/rfc/implemented/testing/2026-06-22-fork-child-replay-seed-boundary.md.
Regression coverage: a fork child fixture whose seeded prefix carries a parent
chunk (derived script must exclude it, proven red without the slice); a seedLength
persistence round-trip through the shared coordinator contract (both backends);
the fork backend stamping it; resume preserving it from the persisted header.
Master's #36 moved declaration output to lib/types (and types/exports/files
point there). The merge applied that to all pre-existing packages, but the
subagent backends introduced on this stack (subagent-inprocess, subagent-spawn,
subagent-fork) still used the old lib/ layout. Bring them onto the new
convention and add them to the single typecheck tsconfig.json references.
The shared run driver lived inside dsh-subagent-spawn, so the spawn package
carried fork-aware seeding logic and dsh-subagent-fork depended backward on
dsh-subagent-spawn — the two in-process backends were not independent.
Move the driver (startInProcessRun, depthOf, SubagentDepthError,
InProcessRunOptions) into a new pure-library package
@deepseek-ai/dsh-subagent-inprocess that registers nothing. spawn and fork now
both depend only on that driver and neither knows about the other; spawn no
longer re-exports it and fork no longer imports from spawn.
Also wire BOTH backends in examples/coding-agent/cordis.yml (config-only): load
dsh-subagent-spawn + dsh-subagent-fork + two dsh-tool-subagent instances with
distinct toolNames (subagent → spawn, subagent_fork → fork), demonstrating that
exposing multiple transports needs no code change.
