boot() asserts over ctx.loader after awaiting the Loader, but the TUI renders
as soon as its own fiber starts: an /exit typed before the last entry settles
runs disposeRootAndExit, which takes the Loader service with the tree. The
assertions then read undefined and crashed the process with a TypeError over
an app that exited exactly as asked. The keyless personal-overlay PTY smoke
lost this race in roughly two of three runs.
`dsh` shipped two config trees that were 43 rows the same: apps/cli/cordis.yml
composed web as 74 flat rows, while the TUI booted examples/tui-agent/cordis.yml
whose single `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui-demo` row mounted twelve plugins behind a
twenty-key pass-through Config. Neither file was what its location claimed —
apps/cli hardcoded the "example" as the product default and the "demo" bundle
was the application — and every capability change had to be made twice.
- apps/cli/base.cordis.yml holds the 43 shared rows; tui.cordis.yml and
web.cordis.yml are patch lists stating only what differs per surface
- overlays apply as SIBLING patch lists at one include level, because include
patches never cross an include boundary. Precedence: base < surface <
(--config | personal ~/.dsh/config.yaml) < launcher flag/profile patches
- `--config` now applies an overlay INSTEAD OF the personal one, so a demo or
test tree never inherits the user's route; new `--config-replace` boots a file
as the entire tree (the old `--config` behaviour). Both survive /resume
- vendor/include: index each `insert`ed row as it is added so a later patch can
configure or disable it. Upstream built the id index once before the patch
loop, leaving every surface-only row — the whole TUI front door — silently
unpatchable from user config. Logged as local modification 8
- session identity moves to dsh-agent-loop's CONFIGURED_AGENT_IDENTITIES_KEY;
dsh-tui's MAIN_SESSION_ID_KEY is deleted (only the bundle read it)
- delete examples/tui-agent, examples/cordis-agent, packages/examples/tui-demo;
TUI tests → apps/cli/tests, cordis e2e → packages/cordis/tool-cordis/tests,
examples/code-mode survives as an overlay leaf
- `dsh web` gains --config, threaded into AppCLIEntry as an extra overlay
Three latent defects surfaced and are fixed here: the TUI captured the optional
sessionQuery service once at construction and could permanently disable /resume
when it won the mount race; the session-store root silently reverted to a
project-local ./.sessions; --config-replace was dropped by the resume handoff.
Verified by booting each tree through the real Loader (TUI 55 entries, web 75,
zero unsettled) rather than reading YAML. All eight terminal snapshots replay
byte-identically; 14/14 PTY smoke, 112/112 snapshots, 25/25 doc-sync, hygiene
and lint clean.
Address review and cut ceremony: the adapter no longer models help/version/
errors as DshInvocation members. Commander owns those under exitOverride — it
prints usage or the diagnostic and one try/catch in parseDshArgs turns the
thrown CommanderError into process.exit with the intended code. bin.ts drops its
help/version/error cases; the union is the three real modes.
Domain checks bail via command.error(print + exit 1): --prompt rejects an empty
task or a stray config/--resume, empty --resume= fails loud, and --host/--port
are validated. A repeated --resume or a flag captured as a value is Commander's
standard behavior, left alone (a bad id fails loud downstream). dsh --help
discloses web via addHelpText. Net: args.ts 185 -> 112 lines.
Also fixes review nits: built-bin e2e resolves on `close`; the /resume handoff
uses `dsh --resume=<id> -- <config>` so a config named `web` stays a positional;
and stale prose (cordis.yml comment, app-boot module doc + duplicate JSDoc,
ui/README, two feature notes, an agent-loop test name) tracks the shipped state.
Removes tui-demo's now-dead plugin-include dep and vendor/loader + app-boot
tsconfig references.
Integrate the Commander argument adapter with master's safe session-resume
feature and dsh web --dev flag.
- args.ts: add --dev to the web parser.
- tui.ts: keep master's process.execve in-place resume handoff, but take the
adapter's parsed (config, resume); inject the resume id through boot's
prepare(ctx) hook via ctx.provide(RESUME_SESSION_ID_KEY, id) instead of the
RESUME_SESSION_ID env var; rebuild the re-exec argv as `dsh --resume <id>`.
- app-boot: drop master's replaceResumeArg (no longer needed) alongside the
already-removed parseResumeArg; add RESUME_SESSION_ID_KEY.
- the four tui-agent/cordis configs read the ctx-provided resumeSessionId via a
typeof-guarded !!js expression, so resume needs no env var.
- web.ts: keep master's client roster and --dev watch, take parsed host/port/dev.
Replace the dsh CLI's three hand-rolled parsing idioms (raw argv[0]/includes
dispatch in bin.ts, per-mode node:util parseArgs in headless.ts/web.ts, and the
bespoke parseResumeArg scanner in dsh-app-boot) with a single Commander adapter
in apps/cli/src/args.ts. parseDshArgs resolves argv into a discriminated
DshInvocation union; bin.ts switches on the mode and dynamic-imports the chosen
module, which now consumes already-parsed values.
- web is a real subcommand; --host uses choices and --port an argParser range
check, moving validation into the parser.
- --resume rejects empty and repeated forms; --prompt rejects empty; a config
positional after --prompt and a root flag placed before web fail loud.
- adds --help/--version; removes parseResumeArg from dsh-app-boot.
- new apps/cli/tests/args.spec.ts (apps/*/tests added to vitest include,
apps/cli/tests to tsconfig.host.json); the tui-agent keyless PTY smoke covers
bin.ts dispatch end to end unchanged.
- workspace-context: a transiently unavailable but still-effective candidate
keeps its cached trimmed digest in the directory's dedup slot, so an
identical later sibling is not emitted as a duplicate set until the next
successful reconciliation
- app-boot: --resume rejects a following token that is itself resume syntax
instead of accepting it as a session id
- tui: the queued-steering badge tracks per-entry sources and a drain removes
one matching entry, so loop-authored steering (no agent/queued) cannot
consume a pending user message's slot
Delete packages/ui/stdio and examples/repl-agent; rename stdio-demo to
@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui-demo (TUI-only, refuses pipes before Loader boot).
tui-agent owns the coding composition inline; echo-agent and the CI demo
smoke move to the one-shot cli-demo bin, which gains -p/--prompt. The
UI-independent with-key e2es move verbatim to tui-agent. SDK wizard's
'stdio' interface becomes 'tui'. PTY testing stays confined to TUI
surfaces; all other subprocess tests ride pipes.
See .agents/notes/implemented/simplification/2026-07-20-retire-readline-front-door.md
Move the agent-spine bundle and the stdio/ACP/JSON-RPC app packages out of
core/ and ui/ into a new packages/examples/ group, renamed with a -demo
suffix so the npm name marks them as non-product surface:
core/agent-core -> examples/agent-spine-demo (dsh-agent-spine-demo)
ui/stdio-agent -> examples/stdio-demo (dsh-stdio-demo)
ui/acp-agent -> examples/acp-demo (dsh-acp-demo)
ui/jsonrpc-agent -> examples/jsonrpc-demo (dsh-jsonrpc-demo)
Update every code/config/test reference and reference-only doc mentions, and
regenerate module-graph, config-catalog, and doc-graphs. The jsonrpc bin
(dsh-jsonrpc-agent) and single-file exe (dsh-jsonrpc-agent-pkg) keep their
names; the SDK runtime-startup surface is reconciled separately.
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.

The module/README prose claimed both guard-covered failure classes
would otherwise exit 0; only the failed-IMPORT class does (an init
throw already exits non-zero via Node's default handler — the guard
contributes the labelled line and the guaranteed exit(1), as its own
JSDoc says). The dependency-graph row now says loader/include (include
is a peer: boot() names it by entry string, so the installed consumer
provides it). The bins are self-executing compositions, not main()
wrappers.
The four near-twin helpers the two published bins carried — loadEnv,
installFailLoud, assertEntriesLoaded, boot — live once in
packages/ui/app-boot, parameterized by the bin's diagnostic prefix and
injectable at their side-effect seams (warn sink, process slice), so
every branch sits under the per-file 100% coverage gate: the unit suite
drives boot() in-process against the real Loader (relative-specifier
configs) through both the settled-tree path and the fiber-less-entry
rejection, and exercises the ENOENT/unloadable .env split, the
Error/non-Error/stackless fail-loud arms, and the disabled-entry
exclusion. resolveConfigPath (snapshot-aware) becomes the single path
resolver for both bins.
Each bin.ts is now a thin self-executing composition plus its
app-specific lifecycle (acp: replay env-skip + stdin-EOF dispose;
stdio: nothing extra), exports nothing, and stays coverage-excluded;
the built-bin smokes still prove both artifacts under plain node in the
node_modules-shaped temp dir (now symlinking ui/app-boot), including
the missing-config non-zero exit.
Implements docs/rfc/implemented/simplification/2026-07-04-share-app-bin-boot-glue.md
(moved from proposed/ and amended); the extract-example-app-packages
RFC's bin-ownership facts are amended in the same change.
