Yichen Jiang e53f448650 fix(subagent): compose children from their parent's preset
Tool and prompt-section visibility is inherited along dsh-scope's parent
chain, and an agent's scope key is minted with no parent. Per-session agent
presets moved every model-facing row onto the agent plane and made
AgentPresets.mount() the one thing that binds that link, from the api-proxy's
session create, resume, and fork paths. The two in-process subagent drivers
installed only the per-child persona and tool filter, so a child's scope chain
had length one and its registry view resolved the global layer alone — which
is empty wherever a preset roster is composed. One-shot children reached the
model with no tools, continuable ones with only the host-plane `report`, and
neither carried its parent's persona, workspace context, or skill catalog.

AgentPresets.composeFrom() joins one agent to the standing composition another
already runs on. It is a bind, not a mount: the child gets its parent's exact
generation, so a composition edited since the parent started cannot fork it
onto another one, and it is synchronous, which is what lets a child creation
window use it. applyChildComposition() now takes the parent and performs the
join first, making a child composed without it unrepresentable at the call
sites. childSessionMeta() records the joined id so a cold read rebuilds the
composition the child actually ran under.

The audit that followed found two api-proxy readers on the wrong authority:
presenterScopeFor() and the live-agent branch of assertPresetUnchanged() both
read header.agentPreset, which goes stale the moment a blank session switches
preset. A switched session's cold transcript resolved presenters in the older
composition's layer and silently degraded to generic cards, and the gateway
refused to adopt a live session under the preset it actually runs while
accepting the one it left. Both now resolve through resolveSessionPreset(),
matching the resume branch fifteen lines above. The owning architecture Agent
Note carried the stale claim that the header records what a session runs; it
is corrected to name the header/log pair and its three readers.

Subsystems

English | 中文

One page per subsystem of the DeepSeek Harness: what it is, the data structures it moves, and — where a ctx service or event scope backs it — a generated Cordis surface section carrying its service and event reference. The folder complements architecture.md, which describes behavior across subsystems (the service map, the session/turn/step lifecycle, the event taxonomy); each page here is the reference for one subsystem's vocabulary and wiring.

Page Owns
core.md the packages/core control spine: the package-by-package loop map, agent creation and ownership (AgentHandle), the Agent handle with its delivery/cancellation/interception contracts, and the repo-wide type patterns (…Map → derived-union, branded ids)

Type declarations and their JSDoc on these pages are source-equivalent and drift-checked by pnpm run verify-type-equiv (see development.md). Ordinary blocks preserve complete declarations; public-api blocks preserve body-stripped public class declarations. Cordis services and events use each page's generated Cordis surface section.
