Adds the durable-session metadata seam and enforces the log's
JSON-serializability invariant at the source:
- SessionHeader / SessionSummary / SessionMeta and CreateSessionOptions in
dsh-session; Session gains a readonly `header`; SessionStore.create takes
`(id?, options?: { seed?; meta? })` (validated absolute cwd, parentSession
lineage). The injection TurnTrigger variant is added for the idle-inject
one-shot turn that a later change introduces.
- isJsonValue (new json.ts): a value round-trips through JSON losslessly —
rejects BigInt, function, symbol, undefined, non-finite numbers, sparse
arrays, circular refs, and exotic objects (Map/Set/Date/class instances).
- Session.append throws on non-JSON-serializable data, and the Session
constructor validates every seed event (isJsonValue + contiguous seq from
0), so a replay/fork seed can never build a live log no backend can
persist — the source-level guarantee a durable backend relies on.
Migrates the ~3 internal positional-seed `create(id, seed)` call sites to
`{ seed }`, and adapts the invariants tests forced by the new guard (the
bad-seq seed is now caught by the constructor; the cyclic deep-freeze test
drives via session/event since append rejects cyclic data; a direct
session/event drives the invariants seq-monotonicity check). Docs kept
backend-agnostic (the persistence packages arrive in a later PR).
Packages
Harness packages, all under the @deepseek-ai/dsh-* scope. Each package is a Cordis service (microkernel plugin-style): it exports a default Service class that gets registered via ctx.plugin(), declares its ctx key and events through declaration merging, and exposes extension points through ctx.effect(), ctx.on(), and ctx.waterfall().
Dependency graph
dsh-llm (no harness deps — pure vocabulary)
dsh-bash (no harness deps — abstract executor seam)
dsh-session ← dsh-llm
dsh-system-prompt ← dsh-llm
dsh-agent ← dsh-llm, dsh-session
dsh-tools ← dsh-llm, dsh-system-prompt, dsh-agent
dsh-bash-local ← dsh-bash (BashExecutor impl)
dsh-tool-bash ← dsh-bash, dsh-tools (bash tool schemas)
dsh-llm-deepseek ← dsh-llm (DeepSeek adapter)
dsh-llm-pi-ai ← dsh-llm (pi-ai-backed adapter)
dsh-agent-loop ← dsh-llm, dsh-session, dsh-system-prompt, dsh-tools, dsh-agent
dsh-invariants ← dsh-llm, dsh-session, dsh-agent (dev-mode contract checks)
The rule: plugins depend on interfaces, never on the concrete loop. dsh-agent-loop is swappable — UI/hook/tool plugins keep working against the dsh-agent vocabulary if the loop is replaced. A swappable capability splits into interface / implementation / consumer packages (the bash trio is the template — see ADR 0009).

Conventions (applied across all harness packages)
- Registrations are effects: every contribution (adapter, tool, section, agent, event listener) goes through
ctx.effect()/ctx.on(), so disposal and HMR clean up automatically. Everyregister()returns the disposer. - Declaration merging for events and ctx: services declare their events in
declare module 'cordis' { interface Events { ... } }and their ctx key ininterface Context. - Waterfall semantics:
ctx.waterfalllisteners receive(...args, next)and MUST callnext()to delegate; returning without it short-circuits (the veto mechanism). - Extensible unions:
ContentBlockMap,MessageSourceMap,FinishReasonMap,TurnTriggerMap,TurnEndReasonMap, andSessionEventMapuse the merge-extensible-map pattern so plugins can add variants via declaration merging. - ESM everywhere; imports use package names across package boundaries,
.tsextensions within a package. - Tests: vitest, colocated under
packages/<name>/tests/*.spec.ts. Every registry needs an HMR-safety test. Err on the side of more tests.
