# DeepSeek Harness Architecture
docs(architecture): rewrite the system map to the 1,800-word budget
architecture.md is the behavior map: layering, service map, seam
pattern, and the loop — everything else defers to its owning tier.
- Seam narrations compress to two-to-four sentences plus links to the
RFC and type-catalog homes that carry the detail (turn-end variant
semantics -> session.md, derivation mapping -> session.md, StreamChunk
conventions -> llm-streaming.md + source).
- The MVP feature-to-mechanism checklist moves de-statused into the
extension cookbook as 'The feature -> mechanism map' — mechanisms
only, no implementation-status bolding to rot; the microkernel RFC's
proof-obligation pointer follows it.
- The layering diagram describes layers by family instead of
enumerating packages (the stale 'future plugins: hooks, compaction'
row is gone); the dependency rule defers to packages/README.md.
- The loop pseudocode, the three externally-cited anchors (the
vocabulary, event taxonomy, waterfall semantics), and the filename
are unchanged.
- Budget ratchet: docs/architecture.md 3897 -> 1800 (now 1,797 words);
the doc-tiers RFC's deferred list prunes the item this ships.

This document describes the architecture of the DeepSeek Harness — the foundation of **DeepSeek Code** . The governing principle, from the [microkernel design discussion][microkernel-doc]: **everything is a plugin** . The core is deliberately tiny — a handful of abstract services plus one concrete loop plugin (`dsh-agent-loop` ) — and every product feature is a plugin against the extension surface described here, without modifying the loop.

This document covers **behavior** ; type shapes live in [core-data-structures/ ](core-data-structures/core.md ), the per-event/service reference in the [generated catalog ](cordis-catalog/events-and-services.md ), per-package contracts in the package READMEs ([map ](../packages/README.md )). Requirement context: [Coding Harness MVP 需求分析][mvp-doc].
docs: accuracy sweep, architecture restructure, two ADRs, review skill
- AGENTS.md Commands: fix typecheck/build descriptions; add lint, lint:fix,
test:coverage, knip, publint, hygiene (were undocumented).
- Drop the bare `yarn demo` for explicit `demo:echo` + `demo:coding`; update
README, examples READMEs (and document coding-agent in examples/README).
- New cookbook guide: adding-a-vendored-package.md (the missing "add" half of
vendor/README's update-only procedure).
- architecture.md: add a table-of-contents and extract the Extension cookbook
to docs/cookbook/extension-cookbook.md (link-preserving); drop the completed
"restructure this document" TODO.
- ADR 0009 (capability seams) + 0010 (twin LLM adapters), and a "when to write
an ADR" standard in adr/README.
- Add a committed dsh-code-review skill under .agents/skills, exposed to Claude
Code via a tracked .claude/skills symlink (gitignore carve-out).

Add bash execution: dsh-bash seam, dsh-bash-local impl, dsh-tool-bash tools
Three packages following the new capability-seam pattern (interface /
implementation / consumer, now documented in docs/architecture.md):
- dsh-bash: abstract BashExecutor service (ctx.bash) + vocabulary types.
- dsh-bash-local: local subprocesses — bash -c per call in a detached
process group, SIGTERM→SIGKILL group kills, tail-keep truncation with
full-stream spill files, model-friendly env, background task registry.
- dsh-tool-bash: the bash / bash_output / bash_kill tool schemas with
runtime arg validation and background completion notices via
agent.inject(). Non-zero exits are reported, not errored.
Design surveyed against the bash tools of Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex,
and pi (notes in the package READMEs). Permissions/sandbox stay TODO on
the tools/execute waterfall seam; stateful-shell alternatives recorded

Swappable capabilities split into three packages — **interface** (abstract service + vocabulary, owns the ctx key), **implementation** (a concrete subclass loaded as a plugin), **consumer** (what the model and plugins program against) — so each evolves independently; the bash trio is the template ([capability seams RFC ](rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-13-capability-seams.md )). Keep interface + consumer together when they are one concern (the LLM seam: `dsh-llm` carries both, adapters implement); don't split preemptively.

- **Filesystem** adds a policy layer as an **event gate** , not a method service: `dsh-tool-fs` (the `read` /`write` /`edit` tools AND executor) dispatches `fs/*` intent events that `dsh-fs-policy` decides, so dropping the policy plugin degrades to the bare provider instead of breaking an injection ([event-gate RFC ](rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-26-file-context-as-event-gate.md )). Paths resolve against the caller's session cwd, matching bash ([per-session cwd RFC ](rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-02-fs-per-session-cwd.md )).
- **Web** folds search and fetch onto one seam: `ctx.web` is a provider REGISTRY (`registerSearchProvider` /`registerFetchProvider` , registration-order-independent selection); providers register like LLM adapters, and `dsh-tool-web` is the single consumer owning the tool schemas ([web seam RFC ](rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-24-web-capability-seam.md )).

> The seam pattern is plain Cordis services + `inject` (a consumer's fiber stays pending until the service exists).

## The vocabulary (dsh-llm)
2026-07-04 21:12:33 +08:00
Messages are arrays of typed **content blocks** (`text` , `reasoning` , `tool-call` , `tool-result` ); the union derives from the merge-extensible `ContentBlockMap` ; the same pattern types `MessageSource` , `FinishReason` , `TurnTrigger` , `TurnEndReason` . The core set is limited to blocks every shipping path honors — multimodal content (images, audio, …) has no core block type; a feature that needs one adds it via the map in the same coordinated change that maps it in the adapters, surfaces it in the UI bridges, and prices it in compaction ([the drop-image RFC ](rfc/implemented/simplification/2026-07-04-drop-image-content-block.md )). Streaming is a raw chunk protocol (`block-start` … `finish` ) with `BlockAssembler` as the single shared chunk→block assembler; the loop logs raw chunks (replay fidelity) while assembling them. `LlmAdapter` is the provider seam: subclass, implement `stream()` , register via `ctx.llm.registerAdapter(models, adapter)` ; `dsh-llm-deepseek` and `dsh-llm-pi-ai` implement the one contract as deliberate design twins ([twin RFC ](rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-13-twin-llm-adapters.md )). The StreamChunk conventions (usage/finish ordering, raw-string tool arguments, the two sanctioned error paths) are pinned in `dsh-llm/src/types.ts` and [llm-streaming.md ](core-data-structures/llm-streaming.md ).

A `Session` is an append-only log of typed `SessionEvent` s — the single source of truth. The LLM message history is *derived* (`deriveMessages()` ): user/assistant messages, tool results, and envelope-tagged context/steering messages come from their events in chronological order (raw `assistant/chunk` events are replay/UI data, skipped; the per-event mapping is in [session.md ](core-data-structures/session.md )). Replay/fork = `ctx.sessions.create(id, { seed })` ; trace/telemetry = listen to `session/event` ([event-sourcing RFC ](rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-11-event-sourced-sessions.md )).

**Durability**: `session/event` is a synchronous notification; persistence backends buffer write-behind and drain at the awaited `session/flush` checkpoint at every turn end. The abstract `SessionPersistence` seam defines create/append/load/list over `SessionEvent` (no parallel persisted type); metadata travels as `SessionHeader` ; crash recovery preserves an interrupted turn by closing it with a synthetic `turn/end {interrupted}` . Two backends (JSONL, SQLite) pass one shared contract suite ([persistence RFC ](rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-14-session-persistence.md ), [write coordinator RFC ](rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-18-shared-persistence-write-coordinator.md )). Resume = `ctx.agents.resume({ resumeSessionId })` .

2026-07-05 11:37:32 +08:00
Plugins contribute `PromptSection` s (named, ordered, static or computed from the per-call `AssembleContext` ), tool-schema providers, and named **prompt variables** interpolated as `{{name}}` at render (strict: an unknown or valueless reference throws). `renderPrompt(assemble({ agent }))` IS the full prompt: the loop's `harness:identity` (− 100) and `agent:persona` (0) sections plus its `model` /`cwd` variables carry the harness and per-agent facts — no second composition path. Tool schemas are deliberately part of the assembly ([RFC ](rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-11-tool-schemas-in-prompt-assembly.md )); prompt-fact ownership (persona vs description vs section vs variable) is pinned by [the prompt-variables RFC ](rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-05-prompt-variables-and-tool-guidance-ownership.md ).

`ToolRegistry.register()` takes schema + `execute()` ; schemas flow into the assembly automatically. `execute()` runs through a two-waterfall pipeline — `tools/pre-execute` (a `PreToolDecision` : allow/deny/ask) → core dispatch → `tools/post-execute` (a `PostToolDecision` : accept/block, replace content, attach context) — the seams where sandbox, permission, hook, and plan-mode plugins live. A thrown tool still reaches `post-execute` as an `isError` result.

`Agent` is the handle every plugin programs against: `send()` (queued), `steer()` (mid-turn injection, drained between steps), `inject()` (in-session context; a one-shot `injection` turn when idle), `cancel()` (the single public stop primitive: clears queued + steering work, aborts the in-flight step, drops a turn about to start), `whenIdle()` (quiescence observation, not teardown), plus `session` /`status` /`options` . A lifecycle owner tears down via `await AgentHandle.dispose()` — stop, await exit, unregister.

**Subagents** are a seam, not a method on `Agent` : `ctx.subagents` is a named-provider registry (`spawn` starts fresh, `fork` seeds the child with the parent's completed-turn prefix, ACP drives an out-of-process child); children are ordinary `Agent` s.

refactor(events): remove the agent/steering mirror emit
agent/steering was the last transient mirror of a durable session event:
drainSteering appended the durable steering/message {turn, content, source}
and emitted the identical fact one line later. Zero production listeners
existed — every steering consumer (hook bridges, goldens, deriveMessages)
reads the durable event — and the one regression test subscriber asserted
a fact the log already records.
Remove the declaration (dsh-agent types + JSDoc list + README row), the
emit in drainSteering (its ctx parameter goes too), and the emit line in
the loop-pseudocode blocks (loop.ts module doc, architecture.md); the
cordis catalog is regenerated. The regression test now pins source
preservation on the durable steering/message event. Live-notification
needs keep their surviving homes: agent/queued at enqueue time,
session/event at drain time.
RFC: docs/rfc/implemented/simplification/2026-07-04-remove-agent-steering-mirror.md
(moved from proposed/, amended to shipped reality). The three implemented
RFCs that stated the retention — the boundary-mirror removal, the
stream-chunk removal, and event-domain-semantics — are amended to point
at that RFC as the record of the removal, per implemented/AGENTS.md.
The rejected retire-mid-turn-steering RFC keeps its frozen text (it
records the declined proposal); the steering capability itself —
steer(), the durable event, continuation forcing — is untouched.

Error containment: a throwing listener or broken step ends the **turn** (`turn/end { reason: { kind: 'error', step, … } }` ), never the driver loop; live diagnostics fire via `agent/error` ; an adapter's in-band error/aborted finish chunk becomes a step error. `cancel()` is honored mid-stream and between tool calls; disposal mid-turn ends the turn `disposed` . A post-`turn/end` failure (a rejecting `session/flush` ) is reported via `agent/error` only — the turn stays balanced, the backend keeps its buffer.

### Cordis waterfall semantics (important)

`ctx.waterfall` is **around-middleware** , not a value reducer. Each listener receives `(...args, next)` :

- listeners run in registration order; `prepend: true` jumps the queue.
docs(architecture): rewrite the system map to the 1,800-word budget
architecture.md is the behavior map: layering, service map, seam
pattern, and the loop — everything else defers to its owning tier.
- Seam narrations compress to two-to-four sentences plus links to the
RFC and type-catalog homes that carry the detail (turn-end variant
semantics -> session.md, derivation mapping -> session.md, StreamChunk
conventions -> llm-streaming.md + source).
- The MVP feature-to-mechanism checklist moves de-statused into the
extension cookbook as 'The feature -> mechanism map' — mechanisms
only, no implementation-status bolding to rot; the microkernel RFC's
proof-obligation pointer follows it.
- The layering diagram describes layers by family instead of
enumerating packages (the stale 'future plugins: hooks, compaction'
row is gone); the dependency rule defers to packages/README.md.
- The loop pseudocode, the three externally-cited anchors (the
vocabulary, event taxonomy, waterfall semantics), and the filename
are unchanged.
- Budget ratchet: docs/architecture.md 3897 -> 1800 (now 1,797 words);
the doc-tiers RFC's deferred list prunes the item this ships.

Composition caveat: values propagate through `next()` 's **return value** — a listener that returns a *new* object makes earlier listeners' mutations invisible downstream. Prefer mutate-then-`next()` for cooperative middleware; return a replacement only to take over the result.

Designed-for but not implemented: inter-agent channels beyond delegation (shared state, streaming output); the model-facing `/compact` consumer tool over `ctx.compact` ([compaction RFC ](rfc/implemented/feature/2026-06-18-compaction-capability-seam.md )); parallel tool execution (concurrency-safety hints on `ToolDefinition` ); session branching/tree if seed-based forking proves insufficient.
