Lifts the RFC 010 § Deferred restriction that the server had to launch in the
workspace ("cwd must equal the launch directory"). An editor can now open any
project folder, and N concurrent sessions over one connection can each target a
different directory.
- packages/acp: drop the `cwd === process.cwd()` guard in validateWorkspaceParams
(keep "must be absolute" — the cwd becomes the session header / bash workdir),
and drop the persisted-cwd-vs-launch-dir check in session/load (a resumed
session keeps its original header.cwd, so its bash tools run in its workspace).
- packages/tool-bash: the missing link — default the bash workdir to the calling
agent's session cwd (`exec.agent.session.header.cwd`) via a new resolveWorkdir
helper. An explicit model `workdir` still wins; a relative one resolves against
the session cwd. This is the only correct spot for multi-session: N sessions
share one ctx.bash executor, so the workdir must come per-call from exec.agent,
not executor config. Falls back to the executor default when no session cwd is
available (preserves non-ACP behavior).
- Trust: the cwd originates from the ACP client (the user's editor) at
session/new — same trust level as the old launch dir; no new untrusted-input
path. `additionalDirectories` (scope widening / sandbox) stays rejected.
- Tests: bridge accepts any absolute cwd + records it on the header; session/load
honors the persisted cwd; bash defaults to / resolves relative against the
session cwd; two sessions with different cwds each run bash in their own dir;
non-absolute cwd still rejected. 100% per-file coverage maintained.
- Docs: RFC 010 status + § Deferred cwd bullet marked RESOLVED; acp README adds a
Per-session cwd section; tool-bash + example READMEs and e2e comments updated.

@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-bash
The model-facing bash tools — bash, bash_output, bash_kill — registered over the ctx.bash executor seam (@deepseek-ai/dsh-bash). Pure schema + text shaping; every process concern lives behind the seam, so sandboxed or remote executor implementations swap in without changing what the model sees.
Requires a loaded executor implementation (e.g. @deepseek-ai/dsh-bash-local); the plugin stays pending until ctx.bash exists (inject: ['tools', 'bash']).
Tools
bash
| Arg | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
command |
string (required) | Run via bash -c. No state persists between calls — use workdir, not cd. |
description |
string (required) | One-line, active-voice summary of the command (5-10 words), for UI/log display only — no effect on execution. |
timeoutMs |
number | Default/max from executor config (120s/600s for bash-local). |
workdir |
string | Working directory for this call. Defaults to the calling agent's session cwd (session.header.cwd) so each session runs in its own workspace; a relative workdir is resolved against that session cwd. |
run_in_background |
boolean | Return a task id immediately; no timeout applies. |
command, workdir, and timeoutMs are resolved against the executor's config defaults via ctx.bash.resolve() before execution, so the executor seam (BashExecSpec) receives explicit workdir/timeoutMs values. The workdir default is applied in the tool layer (from the calling agent's session.header.cwd) BEFORE resolve() — the per-session cwd must come from exec.agent, since N sessions share one executor; only when no session cwd is available does the executor fall back to its own config / process.cwd().
Result text: stdout, then a [stderr] section, then status markers — [timed out after Nms] whenever the executor's timer fired (reported independently of how the process ended, so a command that traps SIGTERM and exits 0 still shows it), [killed by signal: …] for a signal death, [exit code: N] for a non-zero exit (reported, not isError: the model decides how to react), and [output truncated; full output: <path>] when the tail was kept. Only infrastructure failures (spawn errors, aborts) surface as isError results.
bash_output
task_id → output produced since the previous bash_output call plus a status line (running / completed, exit code: N / killed). Reads that lost data to buffer bounds say so and point at the full-output spill file.
bash_kill
task_id → SIGTERM→SIGKILL on the task's process group. Killing an already-finished task is a reported no-op; unknown ids are errors.
Task ownership (cross-session isolation)
The owning agent is recorded per task id at spawn and kept for the lifetime of the loaded plugin instance (it is not cleared on completion). bash_output/bash_kill reject a task owned by a different agent with task <id> belongs to another session (a task started with no agent — a non-loop caller — has no owner and is open to anyone; a call with no exec.agent cannot access an owned task). Task ids are global and predictable, so under multi-session ACP this ownership check is the fence that stops one session's agent from reading or killing another session's background task. (TODO(tool-bash-owner-hmr): an independent HMR reload of this plugin starts a fresh map, so a task spawned before the reload becomes un-owned — acceptable as HMR is dev-only and the session boundary is one user's cooperative editor; a durable fix attaches ownership to the executor/task lifetime.)
Background completion notices
When a background task finishes, a short notice is injected into the owning agent's session (agent.inject(), source {kind: 'plugin', plugin: 'tool-bash'}). Injection is durable context for the next model request, not a wake-up — an idle agent stays idle until something sends a message. That's why the tool descriptions tell the model to poll with bash_output.
Permissions
TODO(permissions): commands run with the executor's full authority. The permission/sandbox seam is the tools/execute waterfall (veto or ask) plus sandboxing BashExecutor implementations — see docs/architecture.md. @cordisjs/plugin-capability (a named-permission service with a session test()) is a candidate building block for that work.
