Hypatia May c76b7042b6 fix(compact): size the compaction e2e to actually cross threshold; sync stale docs (CBR-007)
The compaction e2e never exercised compaction: its window/fixture combo
(contextWindow 8000, thresholdRatio 0.5 → threshold 4000; four small files)
peaked at ~1389 estimated tokens, so compactIfNeeded declined every pre-step
and compact/start never landed. Shrink the window (contextWindow 2400 →
threshold 1200; retainTokens 500 + summarizationMaxTokens 300 = 800 < 1200,
convergence holds) and grow the fixture to six files so a couple of bash steps
reliably cross the threshold. Verified compaction fires and the suite passes
across repeated real-API runs.

Sync docs left stale by the landed compaction work: list compaction.e2e.ts and
keyless-smoke.e2e.ts in the coding-agent README (and fix the wrong "Both
self-skip" count), add compaction to the examples with-key inventory, and
replace the hypothetical compaction/marker / "future plugin" naming in the
session README, session types JSDoc, and the core-data-structures catalog with
the real compact/start, compact/summary, compact/end events.

AGENTS.md — Examples

Runnable demos that show how the harness is wired. Examples are NOT workspaces — each examples/*/package.json is a private, dependency-free stub with no build. They are booted as unbuilt tsx subprocesses via the cordis Loader reading a cordis.yml; the @deepseek-ai/dsh-* plugin names in those YAML files resolve through the root tsconfig.json paths map, not through node_modules.

Because examples are not under the packages/*/src coverage gate, an example that grows real, reusable logic should extract it into a packages/ package (where it gets the per-file 100% gate and a README). Keep only example-specific glue here: the cordis.yml wiring, demo-only mocks/teaching artifacts, and the e2e/snapshot scenarios. There is no start.ts — the boot glue (Loader tail, .env load, snapshot-mode selection, stdin-dispose lifecycle) lives in each app package's bin (@deepseek-ai/dsh-stdio-agent, @deepseek-ai/dsh-acp-agent), which the demo:* scripts invoke against the leaf cordis.yml.

Every example ships e2e smokes (keyless + with-key)

Each example must have both kinds of end-to-end smoke, because they catch different failures:

  • Keyless smoke — boot the example through its real cordis.yml via the Loader (no API key), drive it, and assert the rendered output and a clean exit. This is the guard a hand-mounted unit test structurally cannot be: it exercises the REAL load path (unwrapExports, inject, the whole plugin tree), so a broken plugin export shape — e.g. a stray export default that collapses a namespace plugin and drops inject — fails here even when unit tests stay green (see docs/postmortem/0001). It runs in the default e2e gate (CI has no secrets).
  • With-key smoke — send a real prompt against the live model and verify the WORLD (a file on disk, a non-empty assistant turn), not the agent's self-report. This proves the actual product works, which a mock/keyless run structurally cannot. Key-gated: it self-skips without DEEPSEEK_API_KEY (see the with-key policy — inference is cheap here, so write many).

Exception — keyless-by-nature examples. An example whose model is itself a mock/deterministic stand-in (no real provider) has no meaningful with-key smoke; the keyless smoke is the complete requirement. State the exception inline in the test.

A keyless smoke that spawns the example from a temp cwd must set TSX_TSCONFIG_PATH to the repo-root tsconfig — the unbuilt paths map is found by searching UP from cwd, so a temp cwd outside the repo would otherwise fall back to stale built lib/. Pass --expose-internals when the example's cordis.yml loads the HMR plugin (mirror the demo:* script).

Current state

Example Keyless smoke With-key smoke
echo-agent tests/echo.e2e.ts — boots the real cordis.yml, drives the echo tool round-trip and the direct canned reply N/A — keyless by nature (the mock-echo model has no real provider)
coding-agent tests/keyless-smoke.e2e.ts — boots the full real tree (dummy key, no prompt → no model call), asserts banner + clean exit tests/{full-loop,coding-task,resume,compaction}.e2e.ts — real model + real bash, world-verified
acp-agent pnpm run test:snapshot — boots the real ACP subprocess and replays a recorded session keyless; tests/acp.e2e.ts also asserts stdout purity without a key tests/acp.e2e.ts — real ACP prompt, verifies a file the agent wrote
