The public kill result used the awkward phrase already-terminal. Rename it to already-finished and keep the model-facing response aligned; not-alive would be inaccurate because a force-failed registry record can still correspond to orphaned producer work. Task kinds were open strings even though producer namespaces are an extension point. Add the merge-extensible TaskKindMap and derived TaskKind, cover consumer declarations in task and bundle tests, and retain the runtime non-empty check for untyped callers. With exactOptionalPropertyTypes, owner?: Agent | undefined allowed an explicit undefined value that no caller needs. Tighten the property to owner?: Agent so unowned work is expressed by omitting it. Record the requested task-service/backend split as a follow-up, using a systemd-backed runtime as a concrete candidate without guessing its durability and ownership contract in this PR. Regenerate the type and Cordis catalogs so public docs match the declarations.
examples/ — ready-to-run demo bundles
Pre-composed plugin bundles a thin leaf cordis.yml loads instead of assembling the spine and a front door by hand. These are demo / reference packages — the -demo npm suffix marks each one as non-product surface, readable straight off the package name. The runnable leaves under the repo-root examples/ and the Python SDK runtime are the consumers; each is just its swappable backends plus one bundle entry.
| Package | npm name | Role |
|---|---|---|
agent-spine-demo/ |
@deepseek-ai/dsh-agent-spine-demo |
The executor-less/UI-less agent spine as one bundle plugin (timer + llm + sessions + system-prompt + tools + skills + agents + invariants + tool-bash + tool-skill + agent-loop) |
stdio-demo/ |
@deepseek-ai/dsh-stdio-demo |
Terminal stdio chat app: the spine + console logger + readline UI + a pre-created main agent, with a boot bin |
acp-demo/ |
@deepseek-ai/dsh-acp-demo |
ACP server app: the spine + JSONL persistence + the acp bridge (no stdout logger), with a boot bin |
jsonrpc-demo/ |
@deepseek-ai/dsh-jsonrpc-demo |
Bin-only runtime that boots an external cordis.yml for the stdio JSON-RPC SDK client |
agent-spine-demo is the shared bundle; stdio-demo and acp-demo compose it with opposite front-door clusters (console logger + readline UI vs the stdout-owning ACP bridge) and own their boot bins. jsonrpc-demo mounts no composition of its own — it boots whatever tree the deployment's cordis.yml names, and is what the Python SDK runtime launches.
These are not product API. The spine pieces they bundle live in core/, the bridges/channels/boot-glue in ui/, and the swappable backends (LLM adapter, bash executor) in their capability groups; a demo bundle just picks one concrete composition of them. Swap or fork one freely.
Do not confuse this group with the repo-root examples/: that directory holds the runnable cordis.yml leaves; this group holds the bundles those leaves load.
The jsonrpc bin/exe names are legacy
jsonrpc-demo renamed like its siblings, but its bin is still dsh-jsonrpc-agent and the single-file executable is still dsh-jsonrpc-agent-pkg (referenced across the Python distribution). Those names are the SDK's runtime-startup surface; they are reconciled when the SDK unifies that startup flow, not by this move.
