The shared run driver lived inside dsh-subagent-spawn, so the spawn package carried fork-aware seeding logic and dsh-subagent-fork depended backward on dsh-subagent-spawn — the two in-process backends were not independent. Move the driver (startInProcessRun, depthOf, SubagentDepthError, InProcessRunOptions) into a new pure-library package @deepseek-ai/dsh-subagent-inprocess that registers nothing. spawn and fork now both depend only on that driver and neither knows about the other; spawn no longer re-exports it and fork no longer imports from spawn. Also wire BOTH backends in examples/coding-agent/cordis.yml (config-only): load dsh-subagent-spawn + dsh-subagent-fork + two dsh-tool-subagent instances with distinct toolNames (subagent → spawn, subagent_fork → fork), demonstrating that exposing multiple transports needs no code change.
Examples
Runnable demos (not workspaces) that showcase how the harness is wired. Each example is now a thin leaf: a cordis.yml that picks the swappable backends (an LLM adapter, a bash executor) and loads ONE app package, plus any demo-only mocks. The composition — the spine, the front-door cluster, and the boot glue — lives in the app packages (@deepseek-ai/dsh-stdio-agent, @deepseek-ai/dsh-acp-agent) and the @deepseek-ai/dsh-agent-core bundle they share. There is no start.ts; the demo:* scripts invoke each app package's bin.
echo-agent
A mock model + echo tool on the stdio chat app — the all-mock skeleton. The leaf swaps dsh-stdio-agent's LLM backend to a local mock-echo adapter and adds a local echo tool. Demonstrates:
- A thin leaf
cordis.ymlloading the@deepseek-ai/dsh-stdio-agentapp - Registering a mock
LlmAdapter(streaming scripted responses) - Registering a tool via
ctx.tools.register() - "Swap the backend, keep the app" — the only difference from
coding-agentis the adapter
Run with: pnpm run demo:echo. When prompted, type "echo " to trigger a tool call round-trip.
coding-agent
The real thing: DeepSeek V4 + the bash tool suite on the same @deepseek-ai/dsh-stdio-agent app. Where echo-agent proves the skeleton with mocks, this is a usable coding assistant.
Run with: pnpm run demo:coding (needs DEEPSEEK_API_KEY in the environment or a gitignored repo-root .env). See coding-agent/README.md for details.
acp-agent
The same coding agent exposed as an Agent Client Protocol (ACP) server over JSON-RPC stdio, via the @deepseek-ai/dsh-acp-agent app — drive it from Zed or any other ACP client. Also the home of the keyless snapshot tests.
Run with: pnpm run demo:acp (needs DEEPSEEK_API_KEY). See acp-agent/README.md for the Zed setup and the snapshot-test design.
