Every packages/*/* README now carries a canonical '## Known Limitations and
Deferred Work' section: condensed, evidence-backed bullets for consumer-visible
gaps (unimplemented features, platform caveats, MVP cuts) and consciously
postponed work (TODO/FIXME/XXX markers, RFC deferrals still open). The ten
pre-existing ad-hoc variants ('What is NOT here (TODO)', 'Deferred',
'Limitations (MVP)', 'Known limitations (tracked TODOs)', ...) are normalized
into the canonical heading.
A new doc-sync gate, scripts/verify-readme-limitations.ts, enforces the shape:
exactly one limitations-like heading per package README, byte-equal to the
canonical h2, with at least one bullet; near-miss headings fail so variants
cannot creep back. Packages with genuinely nothing to declare (dsh-brand,
dsh-timeout, dsh-subagent-mock, dsh-app-boot) are whitelisted in the script and
must NOT carry the section; whitelist entries are validated against the scanned
package set so a rename fails loud.
Wired into the doc-sync chain (package.json) and the run-gates doc-sync leaf
set; the standing rule lands in packages/AGENTS.md and the adding-a-package
cookbook; decision record in
docs/rfc/implemented/process/2026-07-10-readme-known-limitations-gate.md
(RFC index regenerated).
Also fixes two stale '(deferred)' markers claiming dsh-compact-basic is
unimplemented (the dsh-compact seam README's package table and the seam's
module doc comment).
hooks/ — hook bridges + shared protocol
The hooks subsystem lets users extend the agent at lifecycle points the way Claude Code and Codex do — by pointing a bridge plugin at an existing hooks.json (or settings) so those external shell hooks run faithfully. The canonical extension surface itself is the harness's typed interception seams (the interception-seams RFC); a "native hook" is just an ordinary cordis plugin on those seams. These packages are the bridges that translate the external shell-hook protocol onto that same surface, plus the shared wire-protocol library they build on.
| Package | Role | Shape |
|---|---|---|
hook-protocol/ |
Shared wire-protocol core: matcher primitive, exit-code/stdout codec, runHook (via ctx.bash), most-restrictive merge, hook/* session events, detached-run quiescence |
library (no plugin) |
hooks-claude/ |
Bridge for a Claude Code hooks.json / settings |
plugin |
hooks-codex/ |
Bridge for a Codex hooks.json |
plugin |
Codex deliberately reimplements a subset of the Claude Code protocol (same hooks.json shape, 5 events vs CC's many, command-only, regex-only matcher, no env/substitution), so hook-protocol owns the genuinely-identical primitives and each bridge owns only what differs (its per-event stdin payload, env, and the mapping of a hook's neutral outcome onto the harness's typed Decisions).
