llm.registerAdapter, agents.register, sessions.create, systemPrompt.section, systemPrompt.tools, and tools.register each mutated state, emitted a change event, then returned the disposer. In Cordis a synchronous throw before the effect returns its disposer leaves nothing for the fiber to collect, so a throwing change-listener leaked the registry entry permanently — HMR/dispose could not clean it, and the duplicate-name/already-exists check stayed wedged until restart. Convert each to the generator-effect pattern already proven in AgentLoop.create: mutate state, `yield` the disposer that undoes it (collected before the next step runs, so it is torn down if a later step throws), THEN emit the change event. The existing duplicate-name throws are unchanged — they fire before any mutation, so they correctly leak nothing. No public API change: generator effects are still synchronous SyncEffects and register() keeps returning its fire-and-forget disposer wrapper. Tests: a listener-throw rollback test for all six methods — register with a change-listener that throws, assert the call throws AND the registry is clean (entry absent; a subsequent listener-free register of the same name succeeds and contributes exactly once). For systemPrompt (no duplicate-name check) the two tests assert assembly is clean. Verified each fails against the pre-fix emit-before-return-disposer form.
dsh-session
Event-sourced session log and in-memory store. A Session is the append-only source of truth for an agent's whole interaction history — the LLM message history is derived from it.
Service: SessionStore (ctx key: sessions)
Creates and holds event-sourced Session instances. Persistence is intentionally not implemented here — plugins subscribe to session/event and flush on session/flush.
Public API
ctx.sessions.create(id?: string, seed?: SessionEvent[]): SessionCreate a session.seedreplays/forks an existing event log. Disposed with the calling fiber.ctx.sessions.get(id: string): Session | undefinedctx.sessions.list(): Session[]
Events
| Event | Mode | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
session/created |
emit | A session was created |
session/event |
emit | An event was appended (sync, fire-and-forget) |
session/flush |
parallel | Awaited durability checkpoint (persistence plugins drain buffers here) |
Class: Session
Plain class (not a Cordis Service). Create via ctx.sessions.create().
session.append(type, data): SessionEvent— synchronous, never blocks on I/O.session.deriveMessages(): Message[]— derive the LLM message history from the event log. Rawassistant/chunkevents are skipped;context/messageandsteering/messagerender as tagged synthetic user messages.session.events,session.seq,session.id
Session event vocabulary (types.ts)
The append-only log: turn/start, turn/end, step/start, step/end, user/message, assistant/message, assistant/chunk, tool/call, tool/result, steering/message, context/message, usage, error.
Merge-extensible via SessionEventMap — a compaction plugin adds compaction/marker, etc.
Also defines TurnTriggerMap and TurnEndReasonMap (merge-extensible sum types for typed turn boundaries — kind-tagged instead of strings).
Extension points
- Persistence plugins: subscribe to
session/event(write-behind) and drain onsession/flush(awaited) and fiber dispose. Seeexamples/echo-agent/src/session-jsonl.tsfor the pattern. - Replay/fork:
ctx.sessions.create(id, seed)seeds a new session with an existing event log.
What is NOT here (TODO)
- Real persistence backends (JSONL per session dir, sqlite) — future phase.
- Session event vocabulary review —
TODO(review)once the loop and a persistence plugin coexist. - Session branching/tree (pi-style entry tree) — defered unless needed beyond seed-based forking.
