Tianyi Cui 825b57aff9 feat(llm): structured error taxonomy with a shared HarnessError base (RFC 005 pt 2)
Introduce HarnessError in dsh-llm (the leaf package): a stable machine-routable
code distinct from the message, cause chaining, name from the subclass, plus
isHarnessError. LlmError, ToolArgsError, and InvariantError now extend it.

Tool failures carry the structure end-to-end: ToolExecutionResult gains
error: { name, code } (populated from a thrown HarnessError), and the loop
forwards it onto the tool/result session event (which gained the same optional
field) for retry/sandbox plugins and replay. The loop's toError wraps non-Error
throws in a HarnessError(code: UNKNOWN, cause) instead of a bare Error.

Landed last and in isolation so it's a pure upgrade over the plain Error+code
the earlier PRs used — independently revertible. Graduates RFC 005 pt 2 ->
ADR 0015; RFC 005 now fully implemented.

# dsh-tools
Tool registry and execution waterfall. Tool plugins register their schemas and executors; the agent loop executes calls through the `tools/execute` waterfall.
## Service: `ToolRegistry` (ctx key: `tools`)
### Public API
- `ctx.tools.register(definition: ToolDefinition): () => void` Register a tool. Disposed with the calling fiber.
- `ctx.tools.get(name: string): ToolDefinition | undefined`
- `ctx.tools.schemas(): ToolSchema[]` Schemas of all registered tools (without the `execute` functions).
- `ctx.tools.execute(exec: ToolExecution): Promise<ToolExecutionResult>` Execute one tool call through the `tools/execute` waterfall.
### Injected services
`SystemPrompt` — the registry automatically feeds its tool schemas into the system-prompt assembly via `ctx.systemPrompt.tools()`.
### Events
| Event | Mode | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| `tools/execute` | waterfall | Wrap/veto tool execution (sandbox, permission, hooks, plan mode) |
| `tools/change` | emit | A tool was registered or unregistered |
### Key types
- `ToolDefinition``ToolSchema` + `execute(args, exec): Promise<ContentBlock[]>`.
- `ToolExecution` — one pending tool call: `{ callId, name, arguments, agent?, signal? }`.
- `ToolExecutionResult` — outcome: `{ callId, content, isError, error? }`. On failure with a `HarnessError`, `error: { name, code }` carries the structured failure class alongside the model-facing text (the loop forwards it onto the `tool/result` session event for retry/sandbox plugins and replay).
### Extension points
- Tool plugins call `ctx.tools.register()` — schemas flow into the assembly automatically.
- The `tools/execute` waterfall is the single seam for sandbox, permission, hooks, and plan-mode plugins to wrap or veto a call. Listeners receive `(exec, next)`: call `next()` to proceed, or return a result without calling `next()` to short-circuit (veto).
- MCP servers: one plugin per server, discover tools, call `ctx.tools.register()` with the server's schemas.
### Typed tool parameter schemas
First-party plugin authors can use the `defineTool()` helper (exported from this package) for typed tool parameter schemas:
```ts
import { readFile } from 'node:fs/promises'
import type { Context } from 'cordis'
import { defineTool } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tools'
declare const ctx: Context
ctx.tools.register(defineTool({
name: 'read_file',
description: 'Read a file from disk.',
parameters: {
path: { type: 'string', required: true, description: 'Absolute file path' },
offset: { type: 'number' },
limit: { type: 'number' },
},
async execute(args, exec) {
// args is typed: { path: string; offset?: number; limit?: number }
const text = await readFile(args.path, 'utf8')
return [{ type: 'text', text }]
},
}))
```
The helper converts the author-facing `SchemaSpec` (with `required: true` as a per-property boolean) to standard JSON Schema for the wire format. Raw JSON-Schema tool definitions (from MCP servers) are still accepted by the registry directly.
A `defineTool` tool also **validates the model-generated arguments against its `SchemaSpec` before `execute` runs** (`validateArgs`). The model's JSON is untrusted — `InferArgs<S>` is a compile-time claim, not a runtime guarantee — so on a mismatch (missing required key, wrong primitive, bad enum member, nested violation) the tool throws a `ToolArgsError` (`code: 'INVALID_ARGS'`); the registry turns it into an `isError` result whose text lists the violations, which the model sees and self-corrects from. Validation mirrors the JSON Schema conversion exactly: extra keys are allowed, `default` is not applied, and an `object`/`array` prop without `properties`/`items` only type-checks. Raw-registered tools (MCP) are **not** validated by the harness — they validate their own input.
See `defineTool`, `validateArgs`, `ToolArgsError`, `SchemaSpec`, `InferArgs`, and `schemaSpecToJsonSchema` in the public API for details.
### What is NOT here (TODO)
- **Tool shapes review** — when real tools land (e.g. a concurrency-safety hint for parallel execution); phase 1 executes tool calls sequentially.
- **Parallel execution** — the loop currently iterates tool calls sequentially.
