Tianyi Cui ecb8aa5b8e Add a gated Known Limitations and Deferred Work section to every package README
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).

@deepseek-ai/dsh-user-interaction

Abstract user-interaction seam. It owns ctx.userInteraction, the service a model-facing tool or permission plugin uses when it needs to pause work and ask the human for a decision.

Service: UserInteractionService (ctx key: userInteraction)

Public API

  • ctx.userInteraction.registerProvider(provider): () => void Register the UI-side provider. Only one provider may be active in a context; disposal unregisters it.
  • ctx.userInteraction.ask(request): Promise<AskUserQuestionAnswer> Ask the active provider and wait for the answer.

Key Types

  • AskUserQuestionRequest{ questions: [{ id, question, header?, options?, multiSelect? }], agent?, signal? }.
  • AskUserQuestionOption{ label, description? }.
  • AskUserQuestionAnswer{ answers: [{ id, selected, custom? }] }.
  • UserInteractionProvider — UI implementation with ask(request).
  • UserInteractionErrorHarnessError subclass with codes such as EMPTY_QUESTIONS, NO_PROVIDER, DUPLICATE_PROVIDER, and ASK_ABORTED.

When an answer includes custom, selected is empty; custom text is an override rather than a supplement to selected choices.

Role

This is the interface package. Model-facing consumers such as @deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-ask-user depend on this seam; UI front doors such as the stdio-agent readline module and the acp bridge provide the provider. The loop stays unchanged: a tool call simply awaits a promise, and the tool result resumes the normal agent loop.

Known Limitations and Deferred Work

  • One provider per context — there is no routing or fan-out to multiple UIs; a second registration throws DUPLICATE_PROVIDER, and with none registered ask() throws NO_PROVIDER rather than degrading.
  • The vocabulary is the question-form shape only — selectable options plus optional custom text; richer interaction shapes (file pickers, diff-preview confirmations) have no seam vocabulary yet.
