P1: both merge parents shipped SCHEMA_VERSION=3 for different layouts (surface columns vs seed_length), so an on-disk 3 was ambiguous and wrongly accepted. Bump to 4 (merged layout) so the version check rejects both sibling v3s. P2: a surface-eligible event with no surfaceOp lands in the log but vanishes from deriveMessages() (surface is the sole derivation path). The typed append overload enforces the marker only when the type arg is a literal; it collapses to optional when widened to the union (a caller iterating raw events). Guard at runtime in both append() and the seed constructor — no backward-compat for surface-less logs. Shared seed fixtures carry surfaceOp explicitly and the appendLog helper forwards it verbatim (no synthesized default). Exports isSurfaceEligibleType. Regression tests for all three, each verified to fail on the unfixed code. Gates: typecheck, test (1115), snapshot (14), doc-sync, lint, build, hygiene green.
dsh-invariants
Dev-mode event-contract invariants and session-log freeze. A pure-listener plugin (everything is a plugin) that asserts the harness event contract at runtime and, optionally, freezes logged session-event data so any code that mutates history throws instead of corrupting silently.
Off in production. Enable it in tests and the demos, where a contract violation should fail loudly. It costs nothing when not registered, and doubles as executable documentation of the event taxonomy — the assertions are the contract.
Plugin
A functional plugin — register the module namespace (this is what loading by name in cordis.yml does):
import type { Context } from 'cordis'
import * as Invariants from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-invariants'
declare const ctx: Context
await ctx.plugin(Invariants) // freeze on (default)
await ctx.plugin(Invariants, { freeze: false }) // assert contract, don't freeze
inject: ['sessions'] — it reads ctx.sessions.list() at apply time to rebuild trace state for sessions that already exist (so a hot reload mid-turn doesn't falsely reject the next event). It listens on session/created, session/event, and agent/status.
Config
| Key | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
freeze |
true |
Deep-freeze each logged event's data so mutating a logged event throws. Set false to assert the contract without freezing. |
Invariants asserted
Session log (per session):
seqstrictly increases — the spine of replay equivalence.- turns pair and nest —
turn/startopens a turn,turn/endcloses the matching one; no overlapping turns. - steps nest in turns —
step/startopens a step in the open turn;step/endcloses the matching step. - chunks belong to an open step —
step/startprecedes itsassistant/chunks. - a
tool/resultneeds a priortool/call— but NOT the converse: atool/callmay have no result (a throwntools/executewaterfall ends the step with notool/result, which is legal).
Agent status (per agent):
- legal transitions only —
idle↔runningand(idle|running)→disposed. A no-op transition (setStatusdedups, so it never fires) and leaving the terminaldisposedstate are violations.
On any violation it throws InvariantError (code: 'INVARIANT').
Why runtime, not deep-readonly types
A DeepReadonly<SessionEvent> is high type-noise across every log consumer, and a plugin can cast straight through it. A dev-mode freeze plus these assertions catch real corruption at zero production cost and zero type noise. The always-on half of that defense — cloning derived messages so request/adapter mutation can't reach back into the log — lives in dsh-session's deriveMessages. This package is the dev-mode tripwire. See dev-mode invariants.
Seeded sessions
A seeded/forked session arrives with events already in its log (the Session constructor copies the seed without emitting session/event). On session/created the plugin replays the existing log through the checker and freezes those entries, so seeded history is held to the same contract.
