This branch intentionally appends plugin-sourced context (plan-mode notices, the skill catalog) after the prompt, so the request's last message is no longer the user's text. The scripted adapter keyed every scenario off messages.at(-1) only, missed its triggers, and fell through to the ask_user_question default — the frozen 'Waiting for the first token' PTY timeouts. It now scans all text since the last assistant message.
Examples
Runnable demos (not workspaces) that showcase how the harness is wired. Each example is a thin leaf: a cordis.yml that picks swappable backends, loads one app package, and may add optional product tools. The composition and boot glue live in @deepseek-ai/dsh-tui-demo, @deepseek-ai/dsh-cli-demo, @deepseek-ai/dsh-acp-demo, and their shared @deepseek-ai/dsh-agent-spine-demo bundle. There is no start.ts; the demo:* scripts invoke each app package's bin.
headless-agent
A non-interactive agent demo that accepts one positional task, runs one complete model/tool turn on the @deepseek-ai/dsh-cli-demo app, persists a fresh session, prints text, json, or stream-json, and exits.
Run with: pnpm run demo:headless "task" (needs DEEPSEEK_API_KEY). See headless-agent/README.md for the output contract, safety boundaries, and snapshot suite.
tui-agent
The interactive coding agent: DeepSeek V4, filesystem and bash tools, subagents, workflows, todo_write, compaction, and the full-screen TUI. It is also the home of TUI PTY and snapshot scenarios.
Run with: pnpm run demo:tui (needs DEEPSEEK_API_KEY). Run its Code Mode overlay with pnpm run demo:code-mode. See tui-agent/README.md for controls and composition.
jsonrpc-agent
An unattended coding agent driven through the Python SDK: JSON-RPC stdio, foreground-only bash, read / write / edit, one foreground subagent, todo_write, JSONL persistence, and compaction. It excludes terminal UI, stdout logging, approvals, skills, and background task controls. See jsonrpc-agent/README.md.
cordis-agent
The self-referential demo: the coding spine plus @deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-cordis, whose three tools (cordis_inspect / cordis_mount / cordis_unmount) let the agent inspect the live cordis runtime it runs inside, mount model-written plugins into it (an event listener, a brand-new tool for itself, or a service another mount injects), and dispose them again — all dynamic mounts grouped under one cordis-dynamic fiber subtree. The ctx.fs/ctx.web services ride along provider-only, as the capabilities those plugins build on.
Run with: pnpm run demo:cordis (needs DEEPSEEK_API_KEY). See cordis-agent/README.md for the staged demo script and the toolset Agent Note for the design and sandbox caveats.
acp-agent
An agent demo exposed as an Agent Client Protocol (ACP) server over JSON-RPC stdio, via the @deepseek-ai/dsh-acp-demo app — drive it from Zed or any other ACP client. It owns the ACP keyless snapshot suite.
Run with: pnpm run demo:acp (needs DEEPSEEK_API_KEY); pnpm run demo:code-mode acp boots the same server in Code Mode via the code-mode.cordis.yml overlay. See acp-agent/README.md for the Zed setup and the snapshot-test design.
The default cordis.yml composes @deepseek-ai/dsh-plan-mode, @deepseek-ai/dsh-sandbox-local, @deepseek-ai/dsh-bash-sandbox, @deepseek-ai/dsh-user-approval, and @deepseek-ai/dsh-permission. A capable client gets a default / plan mode picker plus one independent Permissions select: plan adds model guidance and the reviewed exit_plan_mode crossing without changing enforcement, while workspace-write confines bash to the configured workspace and asks before a wider retry. See acp-agent/README.md for the plan-review and elicitation flow.
