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-tool-subagent
The model-facing subagent tool: delegate a self-contained task to a child agent and return its final output. Pure schema + lifecycle shaping over the ctx.subagents provider registry — an in-process, ACP, or future A2A backend swaps in without changing what the model sees.
Provider selection is config, not model-facing
This plugin binds to exactly one provider (Config.provider). The model sees only { description, prompt } — there is no provider/type parameter in the schema. To expose more than one transport, load the plugin more than once, each bound to a different provider and a distinct toolName (the tool registry rejects a duplicate name, so a second load that kept the default subagent name would throw). Keeping selection in config (not the schema) is the deliberate split: the service holds a multi-provider registry; the tool picks one.
The description states the provider's context contract
The tool description and the prompt parameter description are DERIVED from the bound provider's inheritsParentContext (providerWording): a fresh-context provider (spawn, ACP) gets the standalone-prompt wording ("it does not see this conversation"), an inheriting provider (fork) tells the model the child already sees the conversation's completed turns and its prompt should state only what is new. Because the description is fixed at tool registration, the tool mirrors the provider's lifecycle (subagent/provider-added/-removed): it registers when the bound provider is (or becomes) available and unregisters when the provider goes away — no load-order requirement (the cordis Loader starts sibling entries concurrently, so "listed first" never guaranteed "registered first"), and an HMR reload of the backend re-derives the wording from the fresh provider. While the provider is absent the tool simply does not exist (a ctx.logger note records the wait; a typo'd provider name shows up as a tool that never materializes).
| Config key | Meaning |
|---|---|
provider (required) |
The ctx.subagents provider name to start runs on (spawn, fork, acp, …). |
toolName |
The model-facing tool name to register (default subagent). Set a distinct value per load when exposing multiple providers, e.g. subagent + subagent_acp. |
agentOptions |
Default per-child { model? } applied to every spawned child. (No per-child persona: the deployment persona is a context-wide section every agent shares.) |
Lifecycle (synchronous collect)
execute starts a run on the configured provider and awaits run.result inside a try/finally that always dispose()s the run — the owned child agent/session is torn down on every path (success, error, abort), never leaked. The tool's abort signal (exec.signal) is bridged to run.cancel(). A non-completed stop reason (aborted/error/max-tokens/refusal) maps to an isError tool result rather than returning partial output as success.
Background / poll collection is deferred (see the RFC); this cut blocks the parent turn until the child finishes.
