Tianyi Cui 7097e4fb50 docs(bash-local): clarify the stdin error handler swallows ANY write error, not just EPIPE
Review noted the handler's comment said "EPIPE" while the code swallowed every
stdin 'error'. Swallowing any stdin-write error IS correct here — the write is
best-effort and the command's authoritative outcome is its exit code + captured
output (reported by the `close` handler regardless of whether the write landed).
A rare non-EPIPE pipe fault means the command ran with incomplete stdin, which
it surfaces itself via its own exit/output; rejecting `done` would instead
discard that real output and turn it into an opaque infrastructure error. Widen
the comment to state this rather than implying only EPIPE is caught. No behavior
change.

@deepseek-ai/dsh-bash-local

Local-subprocess implementation of the @deepseek-ai/dsh-bash executor seam: LocalBashExecutor spawns bash -c <command> per call in its own process group, collects bounded output with full-stream spill files, and escalates kills SIGTERM→SIGKILL across the whole group.

Config

- id: bash
  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-bash-local'
  config:
    cwd: /path/to/workspace   # default: process.cwd()
    timeoutMs: 120000          # default foreground timeout
    maxTimeoutMs: 600000       # cap for per-call overrides
    maxOutputBytes: 64000      # per-stream in-memory cap; overflow spills to disk

Behavior (and where it came from)

Design surveyed against the bash tools of Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, and pi; the notable choices:

  • Spawn per call, no shell state — every call is a fresh non-login bash -c (deterministic; no rc files). All four surveyed tools spawn per call. XXX(stateful-shell) in src/run.ts records the two proven stateful designs (Claude Code's cwd-only persistence; Codex's PTY exec sessions) for when real workflows demand them.
  • Process-group kills with escalation — children are spawned detached (own process group); kills send SIGTERM to the group, then SIGKILL after a 3s grace (OpenCode's escalation; pipelines and subshells die with the parent). ESRCH is tolerated; daemons that re-parent away from the group can still survive — same caveat as the surveyed tools.
  • Tail-keep truncation + spill files — output beyond maxOutputBytes keeps the in-memory TAIL (errors/results cluster at the end — pi/OpenCode rationale) while the FULL stream is appended to a temp file whose path is reported when available. If the final spill close reports a delayed writeback failure, the executor still returns the tail but withholds the path rather than advertising a possibly incomplete file.
  • Model-friendly env + credential scrubprocess.env minus credential-shaped vars (*KEY*/*SECRET*/*TOKEN*), then NO_COLOR=1 TERM=dumb PAGER=cat GIT_PAGER=cat (Codex's hardcoded set) so pagers and ANSI color don't garble results. A spec's trusted-plugin env is merged LAST (after the scrub), so an in-process plugin's explicit entry wins even on a credential-shaped name — the scrub guards the harness's ambient credentials from model-driven commands, not a trusted caller. The spec's stdin (also trusted-plugin) is written to the child and closed; with none supplied, stdin is an immediately-closed empty pipe (EOF, as before). See the trusted-plugin RFC.
  • Background tasksstart() returns immediately, no timeout applies (Claude Code detaches timeouts when backgrounding), readOutput() is incremental with whole-stream byte offsets, and disposal kills everything. The spec's opaque owner token is stored on the tracked task and returned by ownerOf(id) — the executor never interprets it (the consumer's access policy does), and because it lives with the task here it survives a tool-bash HMR reload.

Sandboxing

TODO(permissions/sandbox): execution policy does NOT belong in this package. Wrap the tools/execute waterfall (veto/ask) or implement a sandboxing BashExecutor — see docs/architecture.md § plugin checklist. Reference points: Claude Code wraps commands in sandbox-exec/bubblewrap; Codex applies seatbelt/landlock plus an execpolicy prefix-rule engine.
