Yichen Jiang 0512b12714 feat(config)!: one ordering for configuration sources, and a bootstrap deny rule
$DSH_HOME/.env had just become an ordinary environment layer, which left the
harness resolving user-facing values from a flattened process.env that could
no longer say where a value came from. A key stored through the web page
stayed shadowed by an older key in the user's own .env. An endpoint could be
redirected by the project: the invoking directory's .env is materialized like
every other layer, and a base URL decides where a resolved API key is sent, so
a DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL written into a model-editable workspace would send the
user's credential — and the prompts carrying their code — to whatever host
that file named.

Give every user-facing value one ordering, with four kinds of source:

  explicit for this run     per-operation override, CLI argument
  > authored by deployment  --config / --config-replace
  > this launch's shell     inherited process environment
  > product-managed store   settings.yaml, .credentials.yaml
  > discovered file         $DSH_HOME/.env
  > defaults                schema default, shipped base, public default

The domains differ only in which tiers exist. The earlier split — credentials
ranking the environment over the managed file while settings ranked over the
environment — was inconsistent: the distinguishing fact is who authored the
source, not the domain.

packages/util/environment owns an immutable snapshot with per-layer
provenance. getFrom(name, sources) searches only the layers a caller names,
and omitting one is a refusal rather than a demotion: the adapters ask for
['process', 'user-env'], so no reordering can let a project file back into a
decision it was excluded from.

isBootstrapOnly rejects, before anything is materialized, any .env setting a
variable that governs how a process launches (PATH, SHELL, NODE_OPTIONS,
LD_PRELOAD), where code or model-visible instructions load from (the whole
DSH_* namespace, HOME, XDG_*), or how the network is reached (proxy and CA
variables). The namespace is denied wholesale so a switch added later cannot
become settable by being forgotten, and there is no opt-out.

verify-config-source-ownership keeps both rules: no unregistered process.env
read under packages/*/*/src (26 allowlisted with reasons), and no apiKey,
baseURL, or headers inlined from the environment in shipped Cordis config —
removing those inlines is what makes the deployment tier meaningful.

jsonrpc-agent

English | 中文

The unattended coding-agent composition for the Python SDK's bundled JSON-RPC runtime. It intentionally loads no terminal UI, console logger, approval surface, or user-interaction tool because stdout belongs to the SDK protocol and turns are driven by the SDK.

The model-facing tools are:

  • bash, foreground only
  • read, write, and edit
  • subagent, using one foreground in-process spawn provider
  • todo_write

The surrounding runtime also loads JSONL session persistence and automatic context compaction. maxTokensAsSuccess keeps a token-limited model turn as an accepted evaluation result while preserving its max-tokens reason.

Runtime environment

Variable Purpose
DEEPSEEK_API_KEY Credential passed to the OpenAI-compatible host endpoint
DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL Host endpoint used by dsh-llm-deepseek
DSH_CWD Agent workspace for bash and filesystem tools
DSH_MAX_TOKENS_AS_SUCCESS true (default) accepts token-limited results; false reports them as errors
DSH_SESSION_ROOT JSONL trajectory directory
DSH_SYSTEM_PROMPT Deployment-provided coding persona

Pass the config path through the Python SDK's cordis option or DSH_CORDIS_CONFIG. The bundled executable already carries every plugin named by this file; the target machine does not need Node.js.

Persistent tools variant

persistent-tools.cordis.yml is a minimal runnable variant whose model-facing surface is exactly:

  • owner-scoped persistent bash
  • str_replace_editor with view, create, str_replace, and insert

It composes the real local PTY, filesystem intent policy, and session sandbox policy. The keyless SDK snapshot drives the shipped JSON-RPC runtime through both tools, proves that shell cwd/environment survive across calls, and pins the notification stream, turn result, and persisted JSONL:

pnpm exec vitest run --config vitest.snapshot.config.ts -t persistent-tools
