A new docs/core-data-structures/ folder: a self-contained core.md defining what counts as a "core" data structure (the agent-loop spine) and covering the spine vocabulary, plus per-seam sub-pages (llm-streaming, session, persistence, tools, bash). Type definitions are pasted verbatim via `ts type-equiv` blocks and drift-checked by verify-type-equiv. Cross-linked from architecture.md; the `ts type-equiv` mechanics are documented in development.md.

# Bash Executor
|
|
|
|
The bash execution seam — the canonical [capability seam](../rfc/implemented/2026-06-13-capability-seams.md) example, split across three packages: interface ([dsh-bash](../../packages/bash), `ctx.bash`), implementation ([dsh-bash-local](../../packages/bash-local), local subprocesses), and consumer ([dsh-tool-bash](../../packages/tool-bash), the `bash`/`bash_output`/`bash_kill` tool schemas). Bash is **one optional capability**, not part of the agent-loop spine — so its vocabulary lives here, not in [core.md](core.md). A sandboxed, containerized, or remote backend is a sibling package implementing the same interface.

Source: [`packages/bash/src/types.ts`](../../packages/bash/src/types.ts)
|
|
|
|
## Request vs. spec: the `resolve()` split
|
|
|
|
The seam separates the **model-/plugin-facing request** (optional `workdir`/`timeoutMs`, filled from config) from the **fully-resolved spec** the executor acts on (those fields required). The tool layer calls `ctx.bash.resolve(request)` between them — this is the repo's "explicit > implicit at package seams" rule made concrete: the reader of a `BashExecSpec` never wonders where the working directory came from.
|
|
|
|
```ts type-equiv
|
|
interface BashExecRequest {
|
|
command: string
|
|
/** Working directory override (default: implementation-configured). */
|
|
workdir?: string | undefined
|
|
/** Timeout override in milliseconds (implementations cap it). */
|
|
timeoutMs?: number | undefined
|
|
/** Abort signal — implementations kill the command when it fires. */
|
|
signal?: AbortSignal | undefined
|
|
/**
|
|
* Opaque OWNER token for a background task — the consumer's isolation key
|
|
* (the tool layer passes the owning agent's `session.header.id`). The
|
|
* executor stores it on the task and exposes it via {@link BashExecutor.ownerOf};
|
|
* the executor itself NEVER interprets it (no access policy lives in the
|
|
* seam — that is the consumer's job). Absent for foreground runs and for an
|
|
* ownerless background start (a non-agent caller).
|
|
*/
|
|
owner?: string | undefined
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```ts type-equiv
|
|
interface BashExecSpec {
|
|
command: string
|
|
workdir: string
|
|
timeoutMs: number
|
|
/** Abort signal — implementations kill the command when it fires. */
|
|
signal?: AbortSignal | undefined
|
|
/**
|
|
* Opaque owner token, REQUIRED-but-nullable (mirrors `workdir`/`timeoutMs`
|
|
* being required on the resolved spec): {@link BashExecutor.resolve} carries
|
|
* the request's `owner` through, defaulting a missing one to `undefined`. A
|
|
* required field makes a forgotten owner a VISIBLE `undefined` rather than a
|
|
* silently-absent property that yields an unowned (cross-session-readable)
|
|
* task. `start()` stores it; `run()` (foreground) ignores it.
|
|
*/
|
|
owner: string | undefined
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `owner` token is the isolation key: the executor stores it but never interprets it (access policy is the consumer's job), so a background task started by one agent isn't readable cross-session. A required-but-nullable field makes a forgotten owner a visible `undefined` rather than a silently-unowned task.
|
|
|
|
## Foreground runs: `BashRunResult`
|
|
|
|
The outcome of one completed (or killed) foreground run. Orthogonal outcomes are reported **independently** — a process can both time out AND exit 0 because it trapped the signal — so `timedOut`, `aborted`, `signal`, and `exitCode` are each their own field; a caller never reads a cut-short run as a clean success.
|
|
|
|
```ts type-equiv
|
|
interface BashRunResult {
|
|
/** Exit code; null when the process died from a signal. */
|
|
exitCode: number | null
|
|
/** Terminating signal (e.g. 'SIGTERM'); null on normal exit. */
|
|
signal: NodeJS.Signals | null
|
|
/** True when the executor's own timeout killed the command. */
|
|
timedOut: boolean
|
|
/** True when the caller's AbortSignal killed the command. */
|
|
aborted: boolean
|
|
/** The effective timeout applied to this run (after defaulting/capping). */
|
|
timeoutMs: number
|
|
stdout: CollectedOutput
|
|
stderr: CollectedOutput
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Each stream is a `CollectedOutput` — the (possibly truncated) text plus recovery info. When truncated, `text` is the **tail** and the complete stream spills to a private file:
|
|
|
|
```ts type-equiv
|
|
interface CollectedOutput {
|
|
/** Collected text — the TAIL of the stream when truncated. */
|
|
text: string
|
|
/** True when bytes were dropped from `text`. */
|
|
truncated: boolean
|
|
/** Path to a file holding the COMPLETE stream, when truncated and available. */
|
|
spillPath?: string
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Background tasks: `BashTask`
|
|
|
|
A long-running command started with `start()` is tracked as a `BashTask`. `BashTaskStatus` is `'running' | 'completed' | 'killed'`; `done` resolves when the underlying process closes and never rejects.
|
|
|
|
```ts type-equiv
|
|
interface BashTask {
|
|
readonly id: string
|
|
readonly command: string
|
|
status: BashTaskStatus
|
|
/** Exit code once finished (null = killed by signal / still running). */
|
|
exitCode: number | null
|
|
/** Terminating signal name, when signal-killed. */
|
|
signal: NodeJS.Signals | null
|
|
/** Resolves when the underlying process closes (never rejects). */
|
|
readonly done: Promise<void>
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`readOutput()` returns an incremental `BashTaskRead` — the output produced since the previous read, with a `lossy` flag when truncation dropped unread bytes:
|
|
|
|
```ts type-equiv
|
|
interface BashTaskRead {
|
|
task: BashTask
|
|
/** Output produced since the previous read (stderr in a marked section). */
|
|
delta: string
|
|
/** True when truncation dropped unread bytes the delta cannot include. */
|
|
lossy: boolean
|
|
/** Full stdout spill file, when stdout truncation occurred and a safe path is available. */
|
|
stdoutSpillPath?: string
|
|
/** Full stderr spill file, when stderr truncation occurred and a safe path is available. */
|
|
stderrSpillPath?: string
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## The service
|
|
|
|
`BashExecutor` (`ctx.bash`, abstract — defined in [`packages/bash/src/index.ts`](../../packages/bash/src/index.ts)) mirrors the `LlmService`/`LlmAdapter` split: `resolve` (request → spec), `run` (foreground), `start` (background), `get`/`ownerOf`/`list`/`readOutput`/`kill`, and `onTaskDone` (a `BashTaskListener` completion callback). Spawned commands get a **scrubbed env** (dropping `*KEY*`/`*SECRET*`/`*TOKEN*`) and spill files use a private 0700 dir with random names and owner-only opens — model output never gets the ambient environment or a predictable path. The implementation that provides all this is `dsh-bash-local`; the model-facing `bash`/`bash_output`/`bash_kill` schemas that call it are in `dsh-tool-bash` (and present as terminals via the [tool-presentation vocabulary](tools.md#tool-presentation-ui-vocabulary)).
