Settings collaboration direction (recorded in the note): the shell only provides composition faces — feature plugins register themselves. The General section moves into the ui-settings shell (order 0, skeleton rows) and declares the settings.general.item list slot; locale registers the Language row and ui-theme the Appearance row (each with its own store mirror, dictionaries, and ledger-judged deferral); the ui-settings-general package is gone. ui-settings-models becomes ui-models — a feature package that contributes its Settings section rather than a settings-owned satellite. The item-slot SlotMap entry is authored in the ui-settings contract and repeated verbatim in locale/ui-theme (reference-cycle avoidance; declaration merging keeps the copies identical).
Packages
Packages use the @deepseek-ai/dsh-* scope. Each is a Cordis Service subclass or function plugin; contributions use ctx.effect(), ctx.on(), or ctx.waterfall(). Authoring rules: package and root.
Hierarchy
Packages live at packages/<group>/<pkg>/; groups are containers, while names remain @deepseek-ai/dsh-<pkg>. Each group README is the canonical package/ctx-key map.

Groups distinguish product API from support infrastructure. New packages join an existing group; a new group updates its README and this table.
Dependencies
The dependency graph is generated: docs/module-graph.md (pnpm run gen-module-graph, freshness-gated in CI).
Extension plugins depend on interfaces, never the concrete loop. dsh-agent-loop is swappable; UI, hook, and tool plugins use dsh-agent. Composition bundles, including dsh-agent-spine-demo, may depend on spine plugins. Capabilities split into interface / implementation / consumer packages; see capability seams.
Package READMEs cover purpose, APIs, extension points, and Model Experience unless on the model-agnostic omission allowlist. They also carry ## Known Limitations and Deferred Work or use its allowlist.
