- bash presentCall title is now "description — command" (e.g. "List files in
src — ls -la src"). An execute-kind ACP card HIDES rawInput (Zed renders it
only for non-terminal tools), so the command must ride in the always-visible
title to be seen — matching how claude-agent-acp/codex-acp title execute
tools. The command stays in rawInput too for non-execute UIs that show it.
- Rework the acp tool-call presentation tests (turns + load replay) to drive the
REAL dsh-tool-bash + dsh-bash-local via a new makeBridgeHarness({ withBash })
option, running an actual `echo` — instead of an inline fake bash tool. The
mock MODEL still scripts the call (deterministic, no key), but the tool and
executor are real, so the test verifies the shipping presentCall/presentResult.
- AGENTS.md: add the principle "prefer the REAL implementation over a mock/
stand-in in tests" (mock only the expensive/non-deterministic boundary).
- RFC (proposed): the ACP terminal sub-protocol + command classification — the
capability-gated rich rendering (live cwd-header terminal card, classify a
`cat` as a read / `grep` as a search) that the reference adapters do; the
fenced ```console text block stays the no-capability baseline. Studied
codex-acp, claude-agent-acp, and Zed's renderer to ground it.
@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-bash
The model-facing bash tools — bash, bash_output, bash_kill — registered over the ctx.bash executor seam (@deepseek-ai/dsh-bash). Pure schema + text shaping; every process concern lives behind the seam, so sandboxed or remote executor implementations swap in without changing what the model sees.
Requires a loaded executor implementation (e.g. @deepseek-ai/dsh-bash-local); the plugin stays pending until ctx.bash exists (inject: ['tools', 'bash']).
Tools
bash
| Arg | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
command |
string (required) | Run via bash -c. No state persists between calls — use workdir, not cd. |
description |
string (required) | One-line, active-voice summary of the command (5-10 words), for UI/log display only — no effect on execution. |
timeoutMs |
number | Default/max from executor config (120s/600s for bash-local). |
workdir |
string | Working directory for this call. Defaults to the calling agent's session cwd (session.header.cwd) so each session runs in its own workspace; a relative workdir is resolved against that session cwd. |
run_in_background |
boolean | Return a task id immediately; no timeout applies. |
command, workdir, and timeoutMs are resolved against the executor's config defaults via ctx.bash.resolve() before execution, so the executor seam (BashExecSpec) receives explicit workdir/timeoutMs values. The workdir default is applied in the tool layer (from the calling agent's session.header.cwd) BEFORE resolve() — the per-session cwd must come from exec.agent, since N sessions share one executor; only when no session cwd is available does the executor fall back to its own config / process.cwd().
Result text: stdout, then a [stderr] section, then status markers — [timed out after Nms] whenever the executor's timer fired (reported independently of how the process ended, so a command that traps SIGTERM and exits 0 still shows it), [killed by signal: …] for a signal death, [exit code: N] for a non-zero exit (reported, not isError: the model decides how to react), and [output truncated; full output: <path>] when the tail was kept. Only infrastructure failures (spawn errors, aborts) surface as isError results.
bash_output
task_id → output produced since the previous bash_output call plus a status line (running / completed, exit code: N / killed). Reads that lost data to buffer bounds say so and point at the full-output spill file.
bash_kill
task_id → SIGTERM→SIGKILL on the task's process group. Killing an already-finished task is a reported no-op; unknown ids are errors.
Task ownership (cross-session isolation)
The owning agent is recorded per task id at spawn and kept for the lifetime of the loaded plugin instance (it is not cleared on completion). bash_output/bash_kill reject a task owned by a different agent with task <id> belongs to another session (a task started with no agent — a non-loop caller — has no owner and is open to anyone; a call with no exec.agent cannot access an owned task). Task ids are global and predictable, so under multi-session ACP this ownership check is the fence that stops one session's agent from reading or killing another session's background task. (TODO(tool-bash-owner-hmr): an independent HMR reload of this plugin starts a fresh map, so a task spawned before the reload becomes un-owned — acceptable as HMR is dev-only and the session boundary is one user's cooperative editor; a durable fix attaches ownership to the executor/task lifetime.)
UI presentation
These tools own how their calls render in a UI (an editor's tool-call card) via the dsh-tools presentCall/presentResult seam — a UI never special-cases tool names. For bash: the title is the model-written description followed by the exact command ("List files in src — ls -la src"), kind is execute (terminal/run treatment), and the command is ALSO the rawInput. Why both in the title: an execute-kind card hides rawInput (Zed renders it only for non-terminal tools), so the command must ride in the always-visible title to be seen — the reference ACP adapters (claude-agent-acp, codex-acp) likewise put the command in an execute tool's title. The completed output is wrapped in a fenced ```console block — a UI-only affordance, so the model-facing result text stays unfenced. bash_output/bash_kill present a task-scoped title ("Read output from background task bash-3" / "Kill background task bash-3") with the task id as rawInput. These methods are pure/display-only (they also run on session/load replay), and a malformed/older logged arg shape falls back to a generic presentation rather than throwing. See packages/tools ("Tool-owned UI presentation") and packages/acp ("Tool-call presentation").
Background completion notices
When a background task finishes, a short notice is injected into the owning agent's session (agent.inject(), source {kind: 'plugin', plugin: 'tool-bash'}). Injection is durable context for the next model request, not a wake-up — an idle agent stays idle until something sends a message. That's why the tool descriptions tell the model to poll with bash_output.
Permissions
TODO(permissions): commands run with the executor's full authority. The permission/sandbox seam is the tools/execute waterfall (veto or ask) plus sandboxing BashExecutor implementations — see docs/architecture.md. @cordisjs/plugin-capability (a named-permission service with a session test()) is a candidate building block for that work.
