Keep DeepSeekHarness.run() reusable, but make ownership of its lazy runtime process explicit. Document the context-manager/close contract and update every construction example to use a context manager so repeated runs remain valid without encouraging leaked subprocesses. Contain notification predicate failures at the subscription boundary. Remove only the subscriber whose callback raised, deliver that exception through its queue, and continue dispatching to healthy subscribers so arbitrary callback code cannot terminate the shared reader thread or strand later requests. Enforce one in-flight prompt per server session with an atomic activePrompt guard. Route overlap through the existing -32603 handler-error response and clear the guard in finally, preserving parallel prompts across sessions and sequential reuse without changing JSON-RPC request or notification shapes. Use StringDecoder for line framing so a UTF-8 code point split across Buffer chunks is not corrupted. Add a queued-write flush barrier, and make memoized shutdown await it before disposal and exit while retaining exactly-once cleanup when shutdown calls race or flushing fails. Cover callback isolation, same-session exclusion, cross-session concurrency, split multibyte input, delayed writes, racing shutdown, and flush failure with deterministic tests.
Packages
Harness packages use the @deepseek-ai/dsh-* scope. Each is a Cordis plugin: a default Service subclass or functional plugin declaring ctx keys/events through declaration merging and contributing through ctx.effect(), ctx.on(), or ctx.waterfall(). Authoring conventions: AGENTS.md and root AGENTS.md § Conventions.
Hierarchy
Packages are grouped by modular role at packages/<group>/<pkg>/. The group directory is a pure container (no package.json); the package name stays @deepseek-ai/dsh-<pkg> regardless of group. Each group README is the canonical per-package map — package roles, ctx keys, and the product-vs-support split live there, next to the code.
| Group | Role | Release expectation |
|---|---|---|
core/ |
Product API spine: session, system-prompt, tools, agent, and the concrete loop | Product — stable surface |
llm/ |
LLM capability family: the abstract service + provider adapters | Product — stable surface |
bash/ |
Bash capability family: the executor seam, a local impl, and the model-facing tool | Product — stable surface |
code-runtime/ |
Code-execution capability family: the abstract runtime seam for model-written programs + a worker-thread backend | Product — stable surface |
sandbox/ |
Process-confinement seam; bwrap/Landlock/Seatbelt backends | Product — stable surface |
fs/ |
Filesystem capability family: the abstract seam, a local impl, and the model-facing file tools | Product — stable surface |
skill/ |
Skill capability family: the provider registry, local provider, and model-facing catalog/loader | Product — stable surface |
compact/ |
Compaction capability family: the abstract seam + a basic backend (tool deferred) | Product — stable surface |
subagent/ |
Subagent capability family: the provider-registry seam and the model-facing delegation tool | Product — stable surface |
workflow/ |
Workflow capability family: the script-engine seam, the worker-thread engine, and the model-facing workflow tool |
Product — stable surface |
web/ |
Web capability family: the abstract seam, search/fetch provider impls, and the model-facing web tools | Product — stable surface |
timeout/ |
Tool-call timeout policy: the tools/execute deadline enforcer |
Product — stable surface |
todo/ |
Todo/planning family: the model-facing todo_write tool |
Product — stable surface |
guard/ |
Loop-hygiene guards: advisory repeat-call reminders | Product — stable surface |
cordis/ |
Self-referential runtime toolset: inspect the live runtime's plugins and services, mount/unmount model-written plugins (design) | Product — stable surface |
hooks/ |
Hook bridges + the shared Claude Code / Codex wire-protocol library | Product — stable surface |
session-persistence/ |
Persistence capability family: the seam + JSONL/SQLite backends | Product — stable surface |
ui/ |
Editor/client integration surfaces: ACP bridge, JSON-RPC SDK server, app packages, user-approval and user-interaction seams, ask-user tool | Product — stable surface |
support/ |
Dev/test/example infrastructure (invariants, replay adapter, subagent mock) | Support — lower compatibility expectations |
util/ |
Low-level zero-dependency utilities shared across groups (the Branded<B> primitive) |
Support — small, stable, harness-dep-free |
The split is the point: a package's group says whether it is part of the product API or support/test/example infrastructure, so release and removal decisions do not treat every package as an equal public contract. New packages join an existing group; adding a new top-level group is a deliberate act (extend the group READMEs and this table).
Dependencies
The inter-package dependency graph is generated: docs/module-graph.md (pnpm run gen-module-graph, freshness-gated in CI).
The rule it must obey: extension plugins depend on interfaces, never on the concrete loop. dsh-agent-loop is swappable — UI/hook/tool plugins keep working against the dsh-agent vocabulary if the loop is replaced. The sanctioned exception is a composition/bundle package like dsh-agent-core, whose whole job is to assemble the concrete spine: it depends on dsh-agent-loop (and the other concrete spine plugins) on purpose. The rule constrains plugins that EXTEND the system, not the bundle that COMPOSES it. A swappable capability splits into interface / implementation / consumer packages (the bash trio is the template — see capability seams).
Each package has its own README.md with purpose, service API, events, extension points, and deliberate non-goals (TODOs).
