Tianyi Cui 3f83a4ee96 review: the persona becomes the system-prompt plugin's deployment config
Review round 2 (tianyicui inline comments):

- dsh-system-prompt itself registers the harness:identity (-100) and
  deployment:persona (0) sections — they must survive a swapped loop
  plugin, so they leave dsh-agent-loop; the persona text is the plugin's
  own validated 'persona' config. The model/cwd variables STAY on the
  loop: runtime facts of the agents it drives.
- AgentOptions.systemPrompt is deleted with all its forwarding plumbing:
  the app configs' systemPrompt keys become 'persona' routed through
  dsh-agent-core (schema = z.intersect of the owners'), the ACP bridge
  and tool-subagent stop carrying persona configuration, and subagent
  children now render the deployment persona like every other agent.
- Example personas drop transport/interface trivia (ACP, CLI) — facts
  irrelevant to the model.
- Root CONTEXT.md removed (not idiomatic); its persona definition was
  wrong under the new ownership anyway.
- Docs, READMEs, the prompt-variables RFC, and generated catalogs
  updated; new loop test pins the assemble-waterfall escape valve
  (an emptied assembly sends NO system field).

# @deepseek-ai/dsh-stdio-agent
The **terminal stdio chat app**: a Cordis app plugin that composes the providerless agent spine ([`@deepseek-ai/dsh-agent-core`](../../core/agent-core/README.md)) with the front-door cluster a terminal chat needs, and a `bin` that boots a leaf `cordis.yml`.
It is the readline counterpart to [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-acp-agent`](../acp-agent/README.md): both consume the same spine, but each bakes in the OPPOSITE front-door cluster.
## What it bakes in
A terminal chat always wants the same cluster, so the package owns it rather than trusting each leaf to re-wire it:
| Plugin | Why it is here |
|---|---|
| `@cordisjs/plugin-logger-console` | the console logger — stdout is just the terminal here, so logging to it is correct (the ACP app must NOT have this) |
| `@deepseek-ai/dsh-agent-core` | the spine, pre-creating a `main` agent from this app's `model` and carrying its `persona` |
| `@deepseek-ai/dsh-session-persistence-jsonl` | durable JSONL session log under `persistenceRoot` |
| `stdio-chat` (in-package module) | the readline UI, bound to the `main` agent |
`@cordisjs/plugin-hmr` (the dev/demo edit-reload loop) is deliberately a **leaf** entry, NOT baked in here: it is a Loader-only, subprocess-only dev plugin — its constructor throws without `node --expose-internals` + a live `loader`, and the in-process test tier cannot even import it (so a package whose `apply` statically pulled it in could never carry the per-file coverage gate). Unlike the console logger, a stray `hmr` is not a stdout-purity footgun, so leaving it at the leaf costs no safety. The `demo:echo` / `demo:repl` leaves load it and pass `--expose-internals`.
The leaf `cordis.yml` supplies only the **swappable backends** — an LLM adapter (`llm-deepseek` for the real model, or the mock `mock-llm` for a demo) and a bash executor (`bash-local`) — `hmr`, plus this app's [`Config`](#config). The whole plugin tree a run loads is therefore: this app's cluster, the spine inside `agent-core`, `hmr`, and the two leaf backends.
## Config
| Key | Default | Routed to |
|---|---|---|
| `model` | (required) | the pre-created `main` agent's model |
| `persona` | — | the deployment persona template (may reference `{{model}}`), routed to `dsh-system-prompt` |
| `persistenceRoot` | `./.sessions` | the JSONL backend's root directory |
| `welcome` | `ready.` | the stdin-chat banner |
| `resumeSessionId` | — | resume a persisted session id instead of starting fresh (sourced from an env var in the leaf) |
## The bin
`dsh-stdio-agent [path-to-cordis.yml]` (default `./cordis.yml`) loads a gitignored `.env` from the cwd (`DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` / `DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL`), then drives the cordis Loader against the config and awaits the whole plugin tree before returning. Run it under `node --expose-internals`: the cordis Loader resolves the config's bare plugin specifiers (`@deepseek-ai/dsh-*`, npm packages) through its internal module loader, which is only active under that flag. The `demo:echo` / `demo:repl` scripts invoke it that way.
## Example leaf `cordis.yml`
```yaml
# A REPL agent demo: hmr + the DeepSeek adapter + local bash, then this app.
- id: hmr
name: '@cordisjs/plugin-hmr'
config:
root: ['.']
- id: llm-deepseek
name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-llm-deepseek'
config:
apiKey: !!js process.env.DEEPSEEK_API_KEY
models: [deepseek-v4-flash]
- id: bash
name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-bash-local'
config:
timeoutMs: 60000
- id: stdio-agent
name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-stdio-agent'
config:
model: deepseek-v4-flash
persona: 'You are a coding assistant powered by the {{model}} model.'
```
Swap `llm-deepseek` for a `mock-llm` leaf plugin and you have the echo demo — "swap the backend, keep the app".
