kingwl 99650a201b feat(mode): the access cap — plan mode composes with the sandbox instead of banning bash
A ModeDefinition may declare access: the widest sandbox access shell
commands run under while the mode holds, on the SANDBOX_MODES ladder.
The bash seam gains the resolution point to hang it on: BashExecutor.
resolveMode(session) folds override ?? default and dispatches the new
bash/resolve-mode waterfall; dsh-tool-bash consults it at both the
stamping site and the escalation baseline; dsh-mode's clamp listener
takes the ladder minimum per call. Two independent log folds compose at
read time — the mode never writes the sandbox knob, so the two switch
in any order and the knob re-emerges intact on exit.

The built-in plan definition ships access: read-only with the bash trio
allowlisted CONDITIONALLY: both policy layers admit bash/bash_output/
bash_kill only while a confining executor is mounted (an unconfinable
shell cannot honor the cap), and a bash call carrying sandbox_permissions
under a cap is denied at the gate — no widening mid-mode; the widened
step belongs in the plan.

examples/plan-acp-agent swaps bash-local for sandbox-local +
bash-sandbox (workspace-write default, clamped read-only inside plan)
plus the approval seam; the re-recorded plan-mode arc runs a real cat
inside plan under the clamped sandbox, and modes-advertise now pins the
sandbox-mode and approval config options. RFC amended to the landed
shape (access cap section, orthogonality FAQ, deferred item resolved
into effects self-declaration).

plan-acp-agent

The coding agent as an ACP server with session modes composed — the live composition of the plan-mode RFC.

What it demonstrates

session/new advertises the mode picker (default / plan) plus the sandbox-mode and approval config options; the editor's session/set_mode switches the session, applied at the next turn boundary. The default mode carries the full composition — bash under a workspace-write sandbox, read/write/edit, todo_write, ask_user_question — while plan mode narrows it to the read-only allowlist plus the plan-mode guidance section. The bash tools STAY available in plan: plan's access: read-only cap clamps the sandbox resolution per call (a bash/resolve-mode waterfall listener), so exploration commands run for real while a write is denied by the sandbox itself — and the session's own sandbox-mode knob is never written, so it re-emerges intact on exit. Sandbox escalation (sandbox_permissions) is denied inside plan — the widened step belongs in the plan; in the default mode it raises a real session/request_permission prompt through the approval seam. Every call outside the allowlist is denied at tools/pre-execute with a reason that steers it back to planning, and a blocking decision goes to the user through ask_user_question. The model leaves by presenting its plan through exit_plan_mode: the plan markdown renders as the tool's call card, the review question arrives as an elicitation form (approve / keep planning, free text welcome), and a keep-planning answer returns the feedback to the model verbatim.

Run

pnpm run demo:plan-acp   # needs DEEPSEEK_API_KEY (repo-root .env works)

Drive it from Zed or any ACP client; the mode picker appears on the session. Switching back to default (or an approved exit_plan_mode) restores the full toolset on the next step.

Tests

pnpm run test:snapshot replays three scenarios keyless (the recorded bash re-executes for real under the host's sandbox runner — Seatbelt on macOS, bwrap on Linux CI). modes-advertise (authored): the modes advertisement and both config options on session/new, both session/set_mode round-trips with their optimistic current_mode_update, and the loud rejection of an unknown mode id, as committed wire bytes. plan-mode (recorded, the header pin): the full arc — setMode(plan), the plan-shaped initial header, a real cat run inside plan under the clamped read-only sandbox, the plan presented via exit_plan_mode, a scripted elicitation approve, the boundary-flushed mode/set back and the widened fallback header, then a real edit under the restored toolset. plan-mode-reject (recorded): the keep-planning branch, whose corrective isError carries the reviewer's free-text feedback verbatim and leaves the session in plan mode. The gate's deny texts and the sandbox-denial marker stay pinned at the unit tier (packages/mode/mode/tests, packages/bash/tool-bash/tests — a recorded denial's stderr would be the backend's dialect and replay only where it was recorded).
