The API gateway every client shape shares: the TS contract (src/api/, zero Node dependencies, importable from the browser), the fetch carrier pair (src/fetch/: toFetchHandler on the host side, AbstractApiClient plus platform subclasses on the client side), and the host-side implementation (src/api-proxy.ts: createApiProxy plus the default-exported ApiProxyService gateway plugin — config {provider, model, workspaceRoot?}, provides ctx.apiProxy). Transport-agnostic by design: this package registers no routes; carriers (HTTP today, IPC later) wrap ctx.apiProxy themselves. The shipped core composition lives in apps/cli/cordis.yml.

Contract layer (/api)

Wire messages form a four-quadrant discriminated union — who initiates × request/response — decoupled from the physical channel: ClientRequest (POST /api/<method> body), ServerResponse (that POST's response body), ServerRequest (SSE frame), ClientResponse (POST /api/respond body). Responses always echo the matching request's rpcId and never mint a new one. Method parameter/return structures live only in the domain interface signatures (SessionsApi, HostApi, EventsApi); RpcMethodMap registers the methods and every other position derives via RequestPayload<K>/ResponseValue<K>. Zod schemas anchor satisfies z.ZodType<Wire<T>> and parse at two levels: envelope first, business payload second, dispatched per method. Business errors ride RpcResult's error branch (RpcErrorDetailsMap closes the code set); HTTP status expresses only the carrier.

The layering/protocol decisions are recorded in the GUI layering and RPC protocol RFC; the browser-side consumption architecture in the web client architecture RFC.

The mux stream projects the latest log-backed title as a validated session/title control frame after each attached-session subscription baseline and immediately after the corresponding live raw title event. This projection does not add titles to session.list; cold sessions remain metadata-only there until opening or resuming attaches their logs.

Workspace and Session lists are separate reconnect baselines. workspace.create creates a unique name or adopts an existing directory, session.create accepts an optional preallocated Session id, and host/workspace-changed plus host/session-added carry committed increments in either arrival order. SessionSummary.blank and the host/session-added frame carry the derived zero-events bit: clients hide blank sessions and reuse them per workspace, flip blank on the first host/session-status(running:true), and treat session.list as the reconnect authority; cold summaries are never blank because lazy persistence keeps never-appended sessions out of list().

session.search is a bounded content-search projection over the sessions visible through session.list. The gateway asks the optional ctx.sessionQuery service for globally ranked current-surface user, assistant, and steering matches in pages capped at 20 hits, consumes that stream until it has at most 20 visible session/snippet pairs plus one lookahead, and revalidates every hit against the list-derived authorization set before returning it. It makes at most 100 provider calls (2,000 inspected hits); an oversized page, a repeated continuation cursor, or a still-unexhausted stream at that budget fails closed as an internal business error. Keeping the authorization set in Host memory avoids SQLite's variable ceiling for large valid corpora without weakening visibility or ranking. The carrier request signal cancels persistence listing, cold-summary collection, and every search page. A deployment without the service, or a failed index/query operation, also returns an internal business error so clients can retain metadata-only matches.

The command.* and skill.* domains expose the host command registry and skill catalog to clients. Every method addresses one session's agent by sessionId (a served session always has an Agent; command.* resumes cold sessions through the same path as session.*, while skill.list resolves the project root from the session header without touching the Agent registry). command.execute runs a slash-command line host-side and returns a detached result; the carrier's request signal cancels the running handler. host/commands-changed is the catalog invalidation frame: clients refetch command.list instead of diffing.

Carrier layer (/client + root)

AbstractApiClient holds every protocol invariant — rpcId minting, envelope wrap/unwrap, zod parsing, SSE frame decoding, unary timeout, microtask-batched envelope observation (subscribeEnvelopes) — while platform subclasses supply only the doFetch transport aspect. InProcessApiClient over toFetchHandler(api) is the isomorphic point: the full wire serialization/validation path with no network, used by dsh -p headless.

Model Experience

None, as the package defines the client↔host wire contract and carriers; nothing here reaches a model request.

KV Cache effect

None; this package neither assembles nor sends a provider request.

Known Limitations and Deferred Work

  • respond routing is shipped, but pending-interaction state is host-side work — the wire shape (POST /api/respond, RpcReceipt) is final; the pending table that makes late/duplicate answers meaningful lives in src/api-proxy.ts and is still minimal (questions only, no approvals).
  • Reserved seams stay out of RpcMethodMapsession.fork, prompt.mode: 'inject', task.list, host.listModels, and a describe hostInstanceId are documented reservations; an unknown method fails loud at envelope parse rather than getting a not-implemented code.
  • No protocol version field — client and host ship together; host.describe gains a version negotiation field only when an independently released client exists.
