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.
examples/ — ready-to-run demo bundles
Pre-composed plugin bundles a thin leaf cordis.yml loads instead of assembling the spine and a front door by hand. These are demo / reference packages — the -demo npm suffix marks each one as non-product surface, readable straight off the package name. The runnable leaves under the repo-root examples/ and the Python SDK runtime are the consumers; each is just its swappable backends plus one bundle entry.
| Package | npm name | Role |
|---|---|---|
agent-spine-demo/ |
@deepseek-ai/dsh-agent-spine-demo |
The executor-less/UI-less agent spine as one bundle plugin, with fallback session titles and an opt-in persisted-goal stack |
tui-demo/ |
@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui-demo |
Full-screen terminal app bundle: the spine + persisted goals + /goal command + JSONL persistence + dsh-tui + a pre-created main agent; no bin, booted by the dsh CLI |
cli-demo/ |
@deepseek-ai/dsh-cli-demo |
Headless one-shot app: the spine + JSONL persistence + a pre-created main agent, with text and DSH-native JSON output |
acp-demo/ |
@deepseek-ai/dsh-acp-demo |
ACP server app: the spine + persisted goals + /goal command + JSONL persistence + the acp bridge (no stdout logger), with a boot bin |
jsonrpc-demo/ |
@deepseek-ai/dsh-jsonrpc-demo |
Bin-only runtime that boots an external cordis.yml for the stdio JSON-RPC SDK client |
agent-spine-demo is the shared bundle; tui-demo, cli-demo, and acp-demo compose it with full-screen terminal, headless one-shot, and ACP front doors. cli-demo and acp-demo own their boot bins; tui-demo ships only the bundle plugin, and the product dsh CLI is its terminal front door. jsonrpc-demo mounts no composition of its own — it boots whatever tree the deployment's cordis.yml names, and is what the Python SDK runtime launches.
These are not product API. The spine pieces they bundle live in core/, the bridges/channels/boot-glue in ui/, and the swappable backends (LLM adapter, bash executor) in their capability groups; a demo bundle just picks one concrete composition of them. Swap or fork one freely.
Do not confuse this group with the repo-root examples/: that directory holds the runnable cordis.yml leaves; this group holds the bundles those leaves load.
The jsonrpc bin/exe names are legacy
jsonrpc-demo renamed like its siblings, but its bin is still dsh-jsonrpc-agent and the single-file executable is still dsh-jsonrpc-agent-pkg (referenced across the Python distribution). Those names are the SDK's runtime-startup surface; they are reconciled when the SDK unifies that startup flow, not by this move.
