Every packages/*/* README now carries a canonical '## Known Limitations and
Deferred Work' section: condensed, evidence-backed bullets for consumer-visible
gaps (unimplemented features, platform caveats, MVP cuts) and consciously
postponed work (TODO/FIXME/XXX markers, RFC deferrals still open). The ten
pre-existing ad-hoc variants ('What is NOT here (TODO)', 'Deferred',
'Limitations (MVP)', 'Known limitations (tracked TODOs)', ...) are normalized
into the canonical heading.
A new doc-sync gate, scripts/verify-readme-limitations.ts, enforces the shape:
exactly one limitations-like heading per package README, byte-equal to the
canonical h2, with at least one bullet; near-miss headings fail so variants
cannot creep back. Packages with genuinely nothing to declare (dsh-brand,
dsh-timeout, dsh-subagent-mock, dsh-app-boot) are whitelisted in the script and
must NOT carry the section; whitelist entries are validated against the scanned
package set so a rename fails loud.
Wired into the doc-sync chain (package.json) and the run-gates doc-sync leaf
set; the standing rule lands in packages/AGENTS.md and the adding-a-package
cookbook; decision record in
docs/rfc/implemented/process/2026-07-10-readme-known-limitations-gate.md
(RFC index regenerated).
Also fixes two stale '(deferred)' markers claiming dsh-compact-basic is
unimplemented (the dsh-compact seam README's package table and the seam's
module doc comment).
ctx.approval (dsh-approval): request() dispatches the approval/request
waterfall and always resolves a closed outcome — allowed-once / rejected /
cancelled / unavailable — never rejects; zero listeners fall through to
fail-closed unavailable; abort settles cancelled and discards late answers;
throwing or rogue answerers are contained as unavailable; every ask lands
the log-only approval/asked / approval/decided audit pair. dsh-tools routes
a pre-execute ask through the seam opportunistically (ctx.get) with three
distinct deny reasons, keeping the historical ask→deny degrade when the
seam is absent.
The per-session policy tier, the ACP bridge answerer, and the sandbox
escalation asker are staged follow-ups of the approval-seam RFC.
Master advanced 11 commits mid-merge (the Code Mode registry integration:
mode config, run_code, the tools:sdk section, the ACP run_code cards and
unified demos). The fusion makes Code Mode scope-aware end to end:
- wireSchemas(scope): the mode-aware wire contribution is computed from the
CALLING SCOPE's visible set (scoped tools join, shadowing and restrictions
apply) and feeds the {schemas, knownNames} provider protocol.
- knownNames under the mode collapse: a per-scope RESTRICTION is runtime
state, so the universe stays pre-restriction (a restricted-away tool in
toolOrder is a normal absence) — but the MODE collapse is deployment
config, so under mode 'code' the universe is [run_code] and a toolOrder
naming a native tool fails every assembly loud (master's tested decision,
kept).
- The tools:sdk section renders per assembly CONTEXT: the SDK declares
exactly the calling agent's callable set, using the section-text provider
signature this branch already had.
- run_code bindings enumerate schemas(exec.agent) — a program can bind
exactly what its prompt promised; sub-dispatches already threaded
exec.agent through registry.execute, so scoped resolution and carriers
flow unchanged.
- dsh-tools declares both sides' new deps (dsh-scope + dsh-session);
lockfile and all generated catalogs/graphs/api-catalog regenerated.
Gates green on the merged tree: typecheck, lint, per-file 100% coverage
(2710 tests), snapshots (41), doc-sync, module graph, build, hygiene, demo
smoke.
Master brought 50 commits (the tool-cordis group, dsh-code-runtime + worker,
the tools/execute around-dispatch seam + timeout-policy, repeat-tool-guard,
agent/session-prefix, the ui reorganization). Beyond the ten textual
conflicts, the merge reconciles master's new seams with this branch's
scoped-registration world:
- tools/execute (new waterfall around core dispatch): dispatched with the
SAME exec.agent carrier as the pre/post waterfalls — an agent.ctx wrapper
times/retries only its own agent's calls — and its base thunk resolves the
tool through the caller's visible view (get(exec.name, exec.agent)), so a
scoped/shadowed tool dispatches and a restricted-away global stays
UNKNOWN_TOOL. Declared this: Scoped<ToolRegistry> with the scope-filtered
doc sentence; invariants table + verify-scoped-dispatch pin it (21 events).
- agent/session-prefix (new waterfall, once per loop instance): composed via
the fused agentEvents dispatcher (scope-filtered like every agent-subject
event), declared this: Scoped<Agent>, table-pinned. agent/pre-step keeps
master's new sessionPrefix parameter with this branch's Scoped this.
- timeout-policy reads the budget through the caller's visible view
(get(exec.name, exec.agent)): a scoped tool's own timeoutMs governs its
calls; a global name-twin's budget is never misapplied to a shadowing
per-agent variant.
- tool-cordis: cordis_inspect's tools section lists the CALLING agent's view
(its description promises "what you can call"); the sandbox tool façade's
reads resolve through the mount's own scope, mirroring where its register
lands writes; sandboxRegisterTool's return type carries the exact-disposer
union honestly. dsh-scope declared as peer+dev with the project reference.
- doc-sync chain unions master's verify-cordis-api with this branch's
verify-scoped-dispatch; the generated catalogs, event matrix (the
zero-dispatcher guard passes over master's new events), module graph, and
the cordis api-catalog are regenerated on the merged surface.
Full gate sequence green on the merged tree: typecheck, lint, per-file 100%
coverage (2668 tests), snapshots (38), doc-sync, module graph, build,
hygiene, demo smoke.
The exact-disposer fix (5fbac8be B1) repaired agents.register but left the
same wrapper (return () => void dispose()) at seven sibling sites:
tools.register, tools.restrict, systemPrompt.section/tools/variable,
agents.setFactory, and subagents.registerProvider. A wrapper makes correct
composite usage unrepresentable — the exact disposer cannot be recovered, so
a generator effect yielding it leaves the inner effect disposing as a
CONCURRENT SIBLING on owner unload, silently reproducing B1's ordering
corruption. The exact disposer serves both usages (composite-nestable AND
fire-and-forget callable); all seven now return it, typed
() => Promise<void> | void, with the convention pinned by a discriminating
test: an async-link composite probe that passes with the exact disposer and
observes the sibling unregistration firing mid-drain with a wrapper.
Re-auditing also surfaced that B1 itself SHIPPED a full-lint failure: it
changed register()'s return type without updating cross-file consumers
(agent.spec.ts dispose() statements, tool-bash's disposer list), which the
staged-scoped pre-commit lint never saw — pnpm run lint was red at HEAD.
Those three sites and this change's own fallout are fixed together: tests
now await disposers (stronger — they observe the full unwind), sync
paths void them, and the two annotation sites carry the honest union type.
agents.register's README line had drifted the same way (B1 updated the
JSDoc, not the README) — all seven README signatures now match; services
catalog regenerated.
Both demo:code-mode UIs now share one mechanism: the base example plus a
same-shaped code-mode.cordis.yml include overlay (insert the worker
runtime, flip tools.mode). Previously the REPL side was a hand-forked
example (examples/code-agent) that had also silently diverged — it
dropped compaction and the subagent stack — so the demo's UI argument
switched agents, not just surfaces. The fork is retired: coding-agent
gains the overlay, a Code Mode README section absorbing code-agent's,
and both of its tests (the keyless boot guard, retargeted at the
overlay; the with-key RFC proof, which hand-mounts its own harness and
moves untouched). The RFC's composed-surface and e2e-tier lines, the
examples index, the AGENTS.md smoke table, and the dsh-tools README
link now describe the overlay shape.
Verified live: overlay keyless smoke, with-key code-mode e2e from its
new home, demo:code-mode banner + EOF exit, and the acp handshake.
Code Mode is the point; the UI is just the surface it happens to wear.
demo:code and demo:acp-code collapse into one dispatcher
(scripts/demo-code-mode.mjs): `pnpm run demo:code-mode [repl|acp]` —
repl (default) boots the stdio REPL over examples/code-agent, acp
serves examples/acp-agent's code-mode overlay; each UI runs the exact
node invocation its standalone script ran, and an unknown argument
fails loud with usage. All nine references across READMEs, the RFC,
the overlay header, and the keyless-smoke comment renamed. Smoked all
three paths: usage exit 2, ACP initialize handshake, REPL boot + EOF.
The agent-scope-contexts RFC (implemented) records the decision tree:
the dsh-scope primitive over cordis extend/Context.filter/no-op fibers,
two-level flat scope with shadowing, restriction/grant semantics, the
scoped-dispatch rule with fused helpers, the setup window, and the
alternatives (explicit scope params, isolate, event-filtering-only,
vendored support) with why each lost. CONTEXT.md pins the glossary.
architecture.md gains the Agent Scope section, the dsh-scope spine row,
the scoped turn-flow line, and an extension-table row (ceiling 1640→1790:
the two-layer registration model is a new architectural axis; additions
are condensed to pointers). READMEs of every touched package re-state
their scoped facts; the stale structured-runtime README section is
replaced by the scoped-registration description.
A tool declares its cooperative timeout budget on its own definition
rather than a deployment naming it in a central config map. The field
never reaches the model (schemas() whitelists name/description/parameters)
and defineTool rejects a non-positive-finite value at authorship.
The dsh-tools half of the Code Mode RFC (its fourth, final change): the
registry gains its first config — mode: native | code | both — and OWNS how
its tools reach the model. 'code' contributes exactly one wire tool,
run_code, plus a lazy tools:sdk prompt section declaring every other tool
as a generated TypeScript API (jsonSchemaToTs: total over the defineTool
subset, unknown degradation, lexicographic byte-identical rendering);
'both' ships both representations; 'native' is byte-for-byte the old
behavior. Non-native modes fail every assembly loudly without a
typescript-language ctx.codeRuntime.
run_code's dispatch bridge: JSON-normalizes each binding argument before
dispatch (what dispatches is what the tool/code-dispatch event logs — the
append can never fail on payload shape; BigInt/circulars reject that one
call), serializes all program tool calls through a per-run queue (even
Promise.all — no concurrency-safety metadata yet), routes every sub-call
through tools/pre-execute → tools/post-execute (a deny rejects the
program-side promise), drops sub-call additionalContext (no safe outlet
mid-run; pinned), owns a run-scoped abort that follows the outer signal in
and fires on settlement (in-flight sub-dispatch aborted, queued abandoned,
queue drained before returning), and converts a failed run into
CodeRunFailedError → a structured isError carrying kind + captured logs.
tool/code-dispatch joins SessionEventMap by declaration merging (log-only;
deriveMessages ignores it).
The composed surface: the tools config forwards through agent-core and
both app packages; examples/code-agent + demo:code run the worker runtime
under mode code (keyless boot smoke + a with-key e2e proving the collapsed
[run_code] header, the dispatch events, and the file the program wrote);
two new snapshot scenarios (code-mode-turn, both-mode-turn) record the SDK
section, collapsed header, dispatch events, and result card — each its own
header-pinning class (the harness gains per-scenario config overlays and
per-class pins). Catalogs, graphs, cookbook, hooks-bridge notes, and the
RFC (moved to implemented/, restructured to decision-era headings) updated
in the same change.
Model-facing tool-call budgets were tangled into each capability's schema
(bash timeoutMs, web_fetch timeout_ms) with no shared home. Add a
tools/execute around-dispatch waterfall to dsh-tools whose base next() is
the dispatch-with-normalization thunk, and a new @deepseek-ai/dsh-timeout-policy
plugin (packages/timeout/) that arms a per-tool deadline on exec.signal and
returns a structured TOOL_TIMEOUT when it wins. Migrate web_fetch (drop the
model-facing timeout_ms) and web_search onto it; the fetch provider keeps its
timeout only as a resource backstop for direct callers. bash and hook command
execution keep BASH_TIMEOUT unchanged.
Named the plugin timeout-policy (not the RFC's tool-timeout) so it does not
trip the gen-tool-catalog packages/*/tool-* completeness guard, and replace
exec.signal by in-place mutation before next() since cordis waterfall next()
ignores passed arguments. RFC moved to implemented/ recording both deviations.
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.
A directory holding exactly one file adds a path level for nothing;
cordis-catalog/ keeps its folder because it holds two sibling pages
(events.md + services.md), matching config-catalog.md which was born flat.
docs/tool-catalog/tools.md -> docs/tool-catalog.md and
docs/persistence-catalog/log-events.md -> docs/persistence-catalog.md; their
generators' OUT paths and in-page relative links drop one directory level,
and every citation repo-wide (docs, RFCs, package READMEs, generator
headers) is updated. graph-atlas.md, config-catalog.md, and the doc graphs
regenerate with the new paths.
The write-diff-card fix made write's presentResult return an args-derived
whole-file diff (oldText:null) for a create / unchanged overwrite, but the
DiffResultView contract and its mirrored docs still said `diffs` is ALWAYS
the applied contextual hunks computed from before/after. Correct the type
JSDoc, the write execute-side comment, and the four mirrored surfaces
(tools.md, tools README, acp-feature-support, adding-a-tool cookbook) to
say: typically the applied hunks, or a whole-file diff when there is no
before-image (a create) — and that a mutation returns the diff result even
when it duplicates the call-time card, since a tool_call_update.content
replace would otherwise clobber the diff with the model-facing text.
Regenerate the cordis catalog (source line shift).
Address the applied-hunk-diffs review:
- CRLF write overwrite emitted bogus every-line-changed hunks: write's
`before` was LF-normalized but `after` kept the raw model content, so a
CRLF rewrite of an LF file diffed every line. Normalize write's `after`
to LF so both sides share the diff basis (edit already did). Regression
test proves it fails on the raw-after path.
- The tool-private `meta` payload is now typed `unknown` (opaque) at every
seam instead of `JsonValue`. This drops the `dsh-tools -> dsh-session`
package edge that existed only to name the type, and removes the
`FileDiff` index signature that had been widening the type solely for
JsonValue-assignability. Serializability is still enforced at runtime by
`Session.append`'s isJsonValue check, which was always the real guard.
- Sync the docs the new result/meta surface left stale: ToolResultView's
diff card + ToolExecutionResult.meta in tools.md/session.md type-equiv
blocks, the acp/tools READMEs, and the adding-a-tool cookbook; regenerate
the cordis catalog and module graph.
fs write/edit now emit a result-time contextual-diff tool_call_update
(the applied hunk with ±3 context lines, one hunk per replace_all site),
matching what claude-agent-acp sends and what makes an editor render the
change in place. The call-time snippet diff stays; the result hunk
supersedes it (ACP content-replace).
Mechanism:
- A persisted tool-private `meta` channel: execute may return
`{ content, meta }`; `meta` (JsonValue) rides on the tool/result event
and is handed back to presentResult, so the diff reproduces on replay
(event-sourced). JsonValue is now exported from dsh-session.
- The backend returns raw before/after text (storage facts) on
FsWriteOutcome/FsEditOutcome; the tool computes the hunk via the npm
`diff` package's structuredPatch. A create has no before → no result
diff; a failed/aborted mutation carries no meta.
- ToolResultView gains a DiffResultView; the bridge's result-side switch
renders it as {type:'diff'} content blocks.
RFC: docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-02-result-time-applied-hunk-diffs.md
(justifies the npm `diff` runtime dep over vendoring and the meta channel);
the render-intent-union RFC's Non-goal is updated to record this shipped.
All fs snapshot goldens re-recorded; edit/overwrite gain the contextual
result diff, create/read/policy-reject unchanged in structure.
Replace the "bag of optional fields" tool-presentation types
(ToolCallPresentation / ToolResultPresentation / ToolTerminal) with a
card-tagged discriminated union — the standing FIXME(tool-presentation).
A tool declares one render intent per call/result and the ACP bridge
switches on `card`:
ToolCallView = generic | terminal | diff
ToolResultView = generic | terminal
The `diff` card is new: fs write/edit now emit an ACP {type:'diff'}
content block (an editor's inline diff), which the old shapes could not
express. The bridge also relativizes a file card's title against the
session cwd (mirroring claude-agent-acp's toDisplayPath) while keeping
locations/diff paths raw, and derives the no-capability fenced console
fallback from a terminal result's output. read gains the window-in-title
(`Read foo.txt (5 - 8)`) and an always-set location line, matching the
reference adapter field-for-field.
Migrates all three producer families (tool-fs, tool-bash, tool-todo) and
the sole consumer (the ACP bridge) together — the source does not compile
piecewise. Adds snapshot coverage for the terminal _meta path (a new
capability-advertising scenario) and re-records the fs goldens to show the
diff cards. Applied-hunk (result-time, context-line) diffs need a new
result/event shape and are a follow-up.
RFC: docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-02-tool-render-intent-union.md
The fs tools rendered as generic cards (title = tool name, raw file content) in
an ACP editor. Give them tool-owned presentation like bash/subagent have:
- read → title "Read <path>", kind read, offset/limit as rawInput
- write → title "Write <path>", kind edit
- edit → title "Edit <path>", kind edit, a clipped old→new rawInput summary
Add a provider-neutral `locations: { path, line? }[]` to ToolCallPresentation —
the files a call reads/modifies — so a capable editor can follow along / jump to
the file (read carries its offset as the line). The ACP bridge forwards it onto
the wire `tool_call` (ResolvedCallPresentation + call() + the tool_call build in
streamSessionEventUpdate). This flips the `locations` cell in the ACP feature
matrix to supported. The SDK already carries `tool_call.locations`
(ToolCallLocation `{ path, line? }`), so no ACP types leak into dsh-tools.
presentResult is intentionally omitted: it only receives `{ content, isError }`,
not the write/edit outcome, so titling by create-vs-overwrite or replacement
count would mean parsing the model-facing text — the static title stays.
Tests: pure presentCall assertions for all three tools incl. locations and the
edit rawInput clip; a bridge test drives the REAL fs tools through ToolPresenter
and asserts locations reaches the wire tool_call (proven to fail without the
forwarding line). New withFs harness option + dsh-fs devDeps on dsh-acp.
Add docs/tool-catalog/tools.md, a generated reference of every model-facing
tool a shipped `packages/*/tool-*` plugin contributes (name, description,
JSON-Schema parameters) — the third generated catalog alongside the cordis
events/services and core-data-structures catalogs.
Unlike the cordis catalog (a pure source-AST pass), this generator BOOTS each
tool plugin on a real cordis Context and reads `ctx.tools.schemas()`, because a
tool schema is not statically knowable: `todo_write` builds its enum with a
runtime spread, descriptions are string-concatenated, `subagent`'s name is
config-driven, and MCP tools register raw JSON Schema without `defineTool`. A
completeness guard globs the on-disk `tool-*` packages and fails if any is
absent from the boot manifest, restoring the "nothing silently omitted"
property booting would otherwise lose. `verify-tool-catalog` runs inside
`doc-sync`, so the artifact cannot drift.
The boot-over-AST decision and the discovered-inventory / hand-written-recipe
split are recorded in a process RFC.
Reshape the agent's interception surface so every seam returns a small, typed
Decision union, and the set covers the hook points a CC/Codex bridge (and a
native plugin) needs. "Native hooks" are not a package — a native hook is just a
cordis plugin on these canonical events; the bridges (a later PR) only translate
an external protocol onto the same surface.
dsh-agent:
- NEW agent/session-start(agent, source) emit (once before turn 1; SessionStartSource
startup|resume|clear|compact) — a pure notification, seeds context via inject().
- NEW agent/prompt-submit waterfall → PromptDecision (allow, optionally rewriting the
prompt or attaching additionalContext, or block).
- RESHAPE agent/turn-continuation boolean → ContinuationDecision ({action:'stop'} |
{action:'continue', reason?}; a continue reason is recorded as next-step steering).
- New HookContext envelope (required source — inject() would mislabel a missing one).
dsh-tools: split the single tools/execute waterfall into tools/pre-execute
(PreToolDecision allow/deny/ask gate) and tools/post-execute (PostToolDecision
accept/block, optionally replacing content or attaching additionalContext). Core
dispatch sits between as plain code; the tool body keeps its inner try/catch so a
thrown tool still reaches post-execute as an isError. ToolExecutionResult gains
additionalContext (ferried to the loop's per-step buffer). Input rewrite is
deliberately NOT offered (a proposed RFC designs it consistently).
dsh-session: new `rejected` TurnEndReason — a turn whose whole prompt batch was
blocked by prompt-submit.
agent-loop firing points: session-start emitted at create (source threaded —
startup for create/fork, resume for resume()); prompt-submit per drained message
with the always-open-turn rule (a fully-blocked batch is a zero-step rejected
turn); the continuation reshape; post-tool additionalContext buffered and appended
after all tool/results (adjacency). ACP codec maps rejected→cancelled.
A worked native-plugin example (interception.spec.ts) proves all four seams compose
end-to-end through the real loop with NO hook/* events (those belong to the bridge
lib). All existing tools/execute + turn-continuation tests migrated. The
tool-subagent abort test now aborts after a microtask so it still exercises the
live onAbort bridge (execute() awaits pre-execute before the body runs).
RFCs: implemented/feature/2026-06-30-interception-seams.md (the reshape) +
proposed/feature/2026-06-30-pre-tool-input-rewrite.md (the deferred rewrite design).
Move the 18 flat packages/<name> packages into role-grouped dirs:
core/, llm/, bash/, session-persistence/, ui/, support/. Group dirs are
pure containers; each package keeps its @deepseek-ai/dsh-* name.
Collapse the per-package tsconfig paths maps (base + typecheck) into one
@deepseek-ai/dsh-* wildcard with a candidate per group, and derive the
publint list from the hierarchy. Update all depth-coupled globs/configs
(workspace, tsdown, vitest, eslint, knip, tsconfig includes/refs,
per-package tsconfigs, generators, doc-script scopes, type-equiv manifest)
and the cross-package/script relative imports in tests.
Fix doc-typecheck's workspacePaths() to parse tsconfig JSONC via the
TypeScript API instead of a regex comment-strip, which corrupted the
new wildcard `/*/` path candidates.
WIP: doc cross-links and package/RFC docs still to update.
