refactor(subprocess): rename the process seam to subprocess and address review
Review feedback (tianyicui): 'process' is a poor service name. The family is
now packages/subprocess/ — @deepseek-ai/dsh-subprocess (ctx.subprocess,
abstract SubprocessService, Subprocess* vocabulary) and
@deepseek-ai/dsh-subprocess-local (LocalSubprocessService) — renamed
throughout code, compositions, docs (en+zh, pairs re-recorded), catalogs,
and gates. 'subprocess' is the precise term for managed OS children (the
Python-stdlib sense), avoids colliding with Node's global process object,
and reads as one system beside dsh-subagent-subprocess.
ds-review-bot findings addressed:
- kill() on a settled handle is now a no-op (no signal to a possibly-reused
pgid, no referenced grace timer delaying exit); pinned by a spy test.
- The moved DshEnvironmentKey/DshEnvironment/CollectedOutput types get
drift-checked type-equiv blocks on the new subprocess.md page, restoring
their manifest registration.
- subprocess.md is registered in the core.md sub-page index (en+zh).

The shared process substrate for one execution world: executable lookup, fully-specified managed child-process trees with raw or collected stdio, and one deep terminal-process primitive that owns PTY allocation, foreground groups, and provider-observable session cleanup. Command defaulting, shell semantics, deadlines, protocol framing, readiness, and presentation stay with consumers — the [bash executors ](../shell/README.md ), [LSP host ](../lsp/README.md ), [PTY shell backend ](../terminal/README.md ), and [ACP subagent backend ](../subagent/README.md ). See the [subprocess seam Agent Note ](../../.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-26-subprocess-seam.md ).

The service owns process lifetime across consumer reloads; consumers own what a process means (a bash command, a future non-shell runner) and every default that shapes one.
docs: anchor each subsystem page to its package group; make group READMEs thin tables
core.md read as a type grab-bag: LLM wire vocabulary up front, the agent/loop story buried, and no correspondence to packages/core. It now opens on the packages/core control spine — the package-by-package loop map with a Page column into session/system-prompt/tools/scope — and keeps only what the spine group declares plus the repo-wide patterns: the Agent handle with its delivery/cancellation/interception contracts, the SessionEvent envelope, branded ids, the …Map pattern. The conversation vocabulary (Message/ContentBlock, the model request, adapters — 17 type-equiv blocks) moves to llm-streaming.md, which now declares packages/llm end-to-end; the duplicate ContentBlockMap paste near its seam section folds into the moved section, and the manifest, LINK_MAP, README table rows, website label (Core data structures → Core), and inbound anchors follow.
Every packages/<group>/README pair is now a thin front door in one shape: a why-first intro (bash's seam-pattern-first paragraph rewritten as 'shell execution for the agent'), the package table, and a closing pointer to the owning docs/subsystems page — the bash-style table stays the load-bearing middle. Load-bearing trailing paragraphs relocate rather than vanish: the fs no-timeout rationale becomes a filesystem.md section (both languages), session's four sectioned tables merge into one 12-row table, examples' legacy-bin H2 collapses to a pointer at jsonrpc-demo's README, and design rationale that already lives in an Agent Note or subsystem page is now linked instead of restated. All 40 pair records re-recorded.

The subsystem reference — spawn specs, output readers, outcomes, the `DSH_*` environment — is [docs/subsystems/subprocess.md ](../../docs/subsystems/subprocess.md ); the seam decision in the [subprocess seam Agent Note ](../../.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-26-subprocess-seam.md ).
