The browser e2e lane had been failing wholesale since this stack moved the
agent plane into presets, and nothing caught it: 34 of 48 files. Two of the
causes are product defects, not test breakage.
`bashEnv` goes back to the host plane. `apps/cli/src/web.ts` injects it to
publish `DSH_WEB_URL`/`DSH_WEB_MODE`, so the earlier note that "nothing outside
the agent plane injects bashEnv" was simply wrong — behind a preset's `shell`
realm those variables reached no shell at all, and a `dsh web` agent could not
find the address of its own interface. This is the same criterion that returned
`subagents`: a host row that injects a service resolves before any session
exists and has no agent to key by, so the service is host-plane. `tool-bash`
consumes the host registry from inside the preset, which works because an
agent context chains to the host; only the reverse is invisible.
`tool-subagent-report` goes back with it. It is not a tool this agent calls: it
registers a continuable SETUP on the host `subagents` singleton, and that list
is not scope-aware. One copy per mounted preset meant every child was handed
`report` once per live session, so the second registration threw and a cold
subagent resume failed with `subagent-not-resumable` — a diagnostic three
layers removed from the cause.
The lane's own composition facts follow. Skill roots resolve inside a preset
now, a subtree include patches cannot reach, so the scaffold pins the roots'
documented environment fallback for its whole lifetime rather than for the boot
— presets mount per session. Without it the developer's real `~/.dsh/skills`
enters replay requests and goldens while CI sees none. The `apps/cli`
composition test pins `storage-json` for the same reason: unpinned it wrote,
and then read back, the developer's own `~/.dsh/storages/`.
Three tests now address through an agent what they used to read off the root
context, because that is where the thing lives: the tool catalog, the skill
registry, and the token meter. The seeded-history projection baseline asserts
the opposite of what it did — a detached session yields a preset-plane
projection only from a durable checkpoint written while it was live, and this
seed was written straight to persistence and never ran.
Goldens re-recorded for the hero's preset chip and the settings nav entry.
The Models page drops the generic schema renderer and the visible
environment-variable field: each editor is a curated per-family card whose
primary input is one write-only API key stored under a derived
<ROUTE>_API_KEY reference (recorded as apiKeyEnv in the pi-ai profile), an
unkeyed whole-section provider opens as its setup card, and the collapsed
customized-settings fold carries baseURL/reasoningEffort (deepseek) or
reasoning (pi-ai). dsh-client-schema-form reduces to the schema/draft model
layer (no React).
apps/cli/cordis.yml gains settings-local, credentials-local, and the bare
dormant llm-pi-ai row (manifest deps added for the resolver contract);
llm-deepseek drops its !!js apiKey inline for per-request credential
resolution. Both adapters tag apiKeyEnv role('credential-ref') so the
form mounts the credential control. The web e2e scaffold isolates a
harness home per run — an in-process boot must never touch the
developer's real ~/.dsh — and the new models-settings scenario pins the
whole loop through the shipped app: dormant directory as add vocabulary,
schema-driven editor apply landing in settings.yaml, the route
registering live (topology frame), and a write-only key landing in the
temp .env with the configured badge converging. A hermetic test-owned
reference name keeps a developer's real provider keys from flipping the
badge. schema-form joins the platform module table (seed + externals)
so client bundles share one instance.
