creatixchu 85ca8be104 feat(host,client): compose directory picking through slots — dual-face -native, no wire advertisement
ui-workspace's two trigger surfaces each declare a single-kind directory-flow
hole (conversation.hero.workspace.directoryFlow / sidebar.workspaces.directoryFlow,
same owner contract) and keep only the trigger and the adoption: the Open-local-
folder entry renders while the surface's hole is occupied, and the occupant
reports one picked path per open through the hole's owner conversation
(open/busy/onPicked/onCancel/onError).

directory-picker-native becomes dual-face: its browser half fills both holes
with a renderless occupant driving host.pickDirectory, so the cordis.yml row
that mounts the backend also composes the client interaction — a mismatch is
impossible and a second flow package fails at client load.

With composition wiring both sides, the host.describe.directoryPicker
advertisement and the client's kind branching lose their last consumer:
the field, WorkspacesService.directoryPickerKind(), the DirectoryPickerKind
wire type, and the picker's per-open describe read are deleted. The connection
fixture now serves a deterministic pickDirectory path so the keyless snapshot
drives the full pick-then-adopt flow. ui-workspace's hand-rolled declaration
deferral is replaced by the deferRegistration helper it duplicated.

# @deepseek-ai/dsh-host-directory-picker
English | [中文](README.zh.md)
The **workspace-directory picking seam** for the web-GUI host: an abstract `DirectoryPicker` service (`ctx.directoryPicker`) whose single contract method `capability()` returns a discriminated capability describing how an operator selects a directory. Backends differ in interaction shape, not just mechanism, so the seam models the shapes explicitly instead of one method set: `{ kind: 'native', pick(signal) }` opens one native OS chooser on the host display ([`-native`](../directory-picker-native/README.md)); `{ kind: 'browse', list(path?), createDirectory(path, name) }` serves listing/creation primitives an in-app browser drives, which works for remote clients no OS chooser can reach ([`-browse`](../directory-picker-browse/README.md)). Consumers switch on `capability().kind`; the union derives from the merge-extensible `DirectoryPickerCapabilities` map (a new backend declaration-merges its shape there), and the documented default for an unknown kind is to hide the picking affordance rather than fail. The capability object must be stable for the service lifetime. The client side mirrors the seam without a wire advertisement: each backend package is dual-face, its browser half registering the matching picking interaction into ui-workspace's directory-flow slots — so one composition row swaps both the host capability and the client flow together.
Browse primitives fail with the typed `DirectoryPickerError` (`directory-unreadable` / `directory-exists` / `directory-create-failed`, each carrying the subject `path`), which the consuming gateway maps 1:1 onto wire error codes. `DirectoryEntry` rows carry a host-owned `hidden` flag (POSIX dot convention) so display policy stays client-side; `DirectoryListing.crumbs` is the ancestor chain from the filesystem root, every crumb a jump target. Design rationale, the `ctx.fs` separation, and the policy decisions live in [the directory-picker capability seam Agent Note](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-28-directory-picker-capability-seam.md).
## Model Experience
None, as the seam serves the GUI host's directory selection; nothing here reaches a model request.
#### KV Cache effect
None; this package neither assembles nor sends a provider request.
## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
- **No multi-root vocabulary** — the browse contract exposes one ancestry chain per listing; per-deployment root scoping (and Windows drive-root enumeration above a drive) waits for a consumer that needs it, per the seam Agent Note.
