# Capability Seams And Core Services

A service can be a core spine service, a swappable capability seam, or a bundle/composition point. The graph shows the package that owns the service declaration, known implementation packages, and packages that consume the service directly.

| ctx key | Role | Owner | Implementations | Direct consumers | Companion plugins | Note |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `ctx.llm` | `seam` | [`llm`](../packages/llm/llm) | [`llm-deepseek`](../packages/llm/llm-deepseek), [`llm-pi-ai`](../packages/llm/llm-pi-ai), [`llm-replay`](../packages/support/llm-replay) | [`agent-loop`](../packages/core/agent-loop), [`compact-basic`](../packages/compact/compact-basic) | - | Adapters register provider implementations; the loop and compaction call the provider-neutral stream service. |
| `ctx.tokenMeter` | `core` | [`token-meter`](../packages/llm/token-meter) | - | [`compact-basic`](../packages/compact/compact-basic) | - | Owns isolated per-session replay folds; pressure consumers share immutable revisioned measurements. |
| `ctx.toolResultPrune` | `core` | [`compact-tool-result-prune`](../packages/compact/compact-tool-result-prune) | - | [`compact-basic`](../packages/compact/compact-basic) | - | Rewrites oversized current tool results through replayable single-node surface replacements before summary compaction. |
| `ctx.sessions` | `core` | [`session`](../packages/core/session) | - | [`agent-loop`](../packages/core/agent-loop), [`agent`](../packages/core/agent), [`cli-demo`](../packages/examples/cli-demo), [`session-persistence`](../packages/session-persistence/session-persistence), [`session-query`](../packages/session-query/session-query), [`session-query-sqlite`](../packages/session-query/session-query-sqlite), [`subagent-inprocess`](../packages/subagent/subagent-inprocess), [`invariants`](../packages/support/invariants) | - | Owns append-only Session instances and emits the durable session event feed. |
| `ctx.invariants` | `core` | [`invariants`](../packages/support/invariants) | - | [`session`](../packages/core/session), [`agent`](../packages/core/agent), [`scope`](../packages/core/scope), [`agent-loop`](../packages/core/agent-loop) | - | Companion subpaths register owner-local checks; the service owns selection, uniqueness, child fibers, and package-attributed failures. |
| `ctx.typert` | `core` | [`typert-registry`](../packages/typert/registry) | - | [`typert-loader`](../packages/typert/loader) | - | Plugins register live zod contributions directly or through dsh-typert-loader; runtime consumers query schemas and reflection metadata at their own edges. |
| `ctx.sessionPersistence` | `seam` | [`session-persistence`](../packages/session-persistence/session-persistence) | [`session-persistence-jsonl`](../packages/session-persistence/session-persistence-jsonl), [`session-persistence-sqlite`](../packages/session-persistence/session-persistence-sqlite) | [`agent-loop`](../packages/core/agent-loop), [`tool-bash`](../packages/bash/tool-bash), [`hooks-claude`](../packages/hooks/hooks-claude), [`hooks-codex`](../packages/hooks/hooks-codex), [`session-query`](../packages/session-query/session-query), [`session-query-sqlite`](../packages/session-query/session-query-sqlite) | - | Backends persist the same SessionEvent vocabulary; apps choose a backend at composition time. |
| `ctx.settings` | `seam` | [`settings`](../packages/settings/settings) | [`settings-local`](../packages/settings/settings-local) | [`llm-deepseek`](../packages/llm/llm-deepseek), [`llm-pi-ai`](../packages/llm/llm-pi-ai), `apiproxy` | - | Plugins register namespace schemas and resolve layered values; providers store the raw document. The LLM adapters register their entry config as the composition base under the user section; the web gateway serves redacted layered descriptors and writes the user layer. |
| `ctx.credentials` | `seam` | [`credentials`](../packages/credentials/credentials) | [`credentials-local`](../packages/credentials/credentials-local) | [`llm-deepseek`](../packages/llm/llm-deepseek), [`llm-pi-ai`](../packages/llm/llm-pi-ai), `apiproxy` | - | Configuration carries references to secrets; providers own the values. Consumers resolve per operation, so a rotated credential reaches the very next request; the web gateway exposes value-free views and write-only storage. |
| `ctx.telemetry` | `seam` | [`session-telemetry`](../packages/telemetry/session-telemetry) | [`session-telemetry-otel`](../packages/telemetry/session-telemetry-otel) | - | - | The seam captures, redacts, and hands session records to one backend; nothing else consumes the service — its output leaves the process. |
| `ctx.storage` | `seam` | [`storage`](../packages/storage/storage) | [`storage-json`](../packages/storage/storage-json), [`storage-sqlite`](../packages/storage/storage-sqlite) | [`storage-domain`](../packages/storage/storage-domain) | - | Backends register side by side under names; data forms (domain first) mount on the hub and translate typed operations into opaque KV-unit primitives. |
| `ctx.storageDomain` | `core` | [`storage-domain`](../packages/storage/storage-domain) | - | [`workspace`](../packages/workspace/workspace) | - | Waits for every configured backend, then publishes the domain form as one lifecycle-bound service for typed durable state. |
| `ctx.workspace` | `core` | [`workspace`](../packages/workspace/workspace) | - | `apiproxy` | - | Owns WorkspaceId-branded records over the domain facility; stable sessionIds accounts drive Host RPC and GUI projections. |
| `ctx.sessionQuery` | `seam` | [`session-query`](../packages/session-query/session-query) | [`session-query-sqlite`](../packages/session-query/session-query-sqlite) | [`session-reference`](../packages/context/session-reference), [`tool-session-query`](../packages/session-query/tool-session-query) | - | The interface supplies exact reads, filters, and traces; its concrete backend adds full-text reconciliation, ranking, snippets, and cursor generations, while the model consumer owns workspace authority and cursor-free rendering. |
| `ctx.fileReferences` | `seam` | [`file-reference`](../packages/context/file-reference) | [`file-reference-local`](../packages/context/file-reference-local) | `apiproxy` | - | The local provider owns one invalidated path index per agent; Host RPC projects its cancellable path candidates to browser reference sources. |
| `ctx.sessionReferences` | `core` | [`session-reference`](../packages/context/session-reference) | - | `apiproxy` | - | Projects bounded current-surface conversation snapshots into durable untrusted message context; Host adapters own mention syntax. |
| `ctx.sessionTitle` | `seam` | [`session-title`](../packages/session-title/session-title) | [`session-title-first-message-llm`](../packages/session-title/session-title-first-message-llm), [`session-title-all-messages-llm`](../packages/session-title/session-title-all-messages-llm) | - | - | Owns the deterministic fallback, latest-title fold, and sole optional asynchronous provider registration. |
| `ctx.systemPrompt` | `core` | [`system-prompt`](../packages/core/system-prompt) | - | [`agent-loop`](../packages/core/agent-loop), [`tools`](../packages/core/tools), [`tool-fs`](../packages/fs/tool-fs), [`tool-pty`](../packages/pty/tool-pty), [`tool-web`](../packages/web/tool-web) | - | Collects prompt sections and model-facing tool schemas for each step. |
| `ctx.tools` | `core` | [`tools`](../packages/core/tools) | - | [`agent-loop`](../packages/core/agent-loop), [`tool-ask-user`](../packages/ui/tool-ask-user), [`tool-bash`](../packages/bash/tool-bash), [`tool-cordis`](../packages/cordis/tool-cordis), [`tool-fs`](../packages/fs/tool-fs), [`tool-pty`](../packages/pty/tool-pty), [`tool-skill`](../packages/skill/tool-skill), [`tool-subagent`](../packages/subagent/tool-subagent), [`tool-todo`](../packages/todo/tool-todo), [`tool-web`](../packages/web/tool-web) | - | Registers capabilities, owns Code Mode transport, and routes calls through pre-policy, monotonic guards, around dispatch, post-policy, and final-result observation. |
| `ctx.userInteraction` | `seam` | [`user-interaction`](../packages/ui/user-interaction) | - | [`tool-ask-user`](../packages/ui/tool-ask-user) | - | UI front doors provide the active human-answer provider; tool-ask-user pauses a tool call on the provider-neutral ask() promise. |
| `ctx.planMode` | `core` | [`plan-mode`](../packages/plan/plan-mode) | - | - | - | Folds logged plan/mode state, flushes user selections at turn boundaries, renders deployment-owned guidance, registers /plan, and keeps the plan-exit schema stable across transitions. |
| `ctx.commands` | `core` | [`commands`](../packages/ui/commands) | - | - | - | Plugins register direct human commands without sending invocations to the model. |
| `ctx.sessionProjections` | `core` | [`session-projection`](../packages/session-projection/session-projection) | - | [`tool-todo`](../packages/todo/tool-todo), [`session-title`](../packages/session-title/session-title), [`host-apiproxy`](../packages/host/apiproxy) | - | Domains register state-driven fold units; the eager drive keeps per-session watermark states and api-proxy serves baselines and pushes changed values. |
| `ctx.sessionProjectionCache` | `core` | [`session-projection-cache`](../packages/session-projection/session-projection-cache) | - | [`host-apiproxy`](../packages/host/apiproxy) | - | Durably checkpoints projection unit states per session (throttled + turn/end/detach mandatory points) and serves the cold-read ladder: cache row + persistence tail replay, so listings never load full logs. |
| `ctx.skills` | `seam` | [`skill`](../packages/skill/skill) | [`skill-local`](../packages/skill/skill-local) | [`tool-skill`](../packages/skill/tool-skill) | - | Merges provider skill catalogs; tool-skill renders the session-prefix catalog and loads complete skill bodies. |
| `ctx.agents` | `core` | [`agent`](../packages/core/agent) | - | [`agent-loop`](../packages/core/agent-loop), [`acp`](../packages/acp/acp), [`cli-demo`](../packages/examples/cli-demo), [`subagent-inprocess`](../packages/subagent/subagent-inprocess) | - | Owns live Agent handles, the create/resume factory seam, and process-local initiator propagation. |
| `ctx.agentLoop` | `bundle` | [`agent-loop`](../packages/core/agent-loop) | - | [`agent-spine-demo`](../packages/examples/agent-spine-demo) | - | The one concrete loop plugin; extension packages depend on dsh-agent events and services, not on this package. |
| `ctx.goals` | `core` | [`goal`](../packages/goal/goal) | - | - | - | Folds revisioned objective state from the session log and keeps live continuation activation process-local. |
| `ctx.subprocess` | `seam` | [`subprocess`](../packages/subprocess/subprocess) | [`subprocess-local`](../packages/subprocess/subprocess-local) | [`bash-local`](../packages/bash/bash-local), [`bash-sandbox`](../packages/bash/bash-sandbox), [`lsp-local`](../packages/lsp/lsp-local), [`subagent-acp`](../packages/subagent/subagent-acp) | - | The bash executors, the LSP host, and the ACP subagent backend spawn their children through ctx.subprocess; the service owns tree lifetime, stdio dispositions (pipes, inherit, bounded spill-backed collection), and kill escalation. |
| `ctx.bash` | `seam` | [`bash`](../packages/bash/bash) | [`bash-local`](../packages/bash/bash-local), [`bash-sandbox`](../packages/bash/bash-sandbox), [`pwsh-local`](../packages/bash/pwsh-local) | [`tool-bash`](../packages/bash/tool-bash), [`tool-pwsh`](../packages/bash/tool-pwsh), [`hooks-claude`](../packages/hooks/hooks-claude), [`hooks-codex`](../packages/hooks/hooks-codex) | - | The model-facing shell tools and hook bridges consume this seam; sandboxed, remote, or PowerShell executors replace bash-local without touching them. |
| `ctx.bashEnv` | `core` | [`bash-env`](../packages/bash/bash-env) | - | [`tool-bash`](../packages/bash/tool-bash), [`tool-pwsh`](../packages/bash/tool-pwsh) | - | Plugins declare effect-scoped DSH_* facts; each shell tool collects one trusted snapshot per execution and its executor rebuilds the namespace. |
| `ctx.pty` | `seam` | [`pty`](../packages/pty/pty) | [`pty-local`](../packages/pty/pty-local) | [`tool-pty`](../packages/pty/tool-pty) | - | The registry owns exact-Agent session identity and cleanup; backends own terminal mechanics, while tool-pty exposes the owner-scoped model surface. |
| `ctx.sandbox` | `seam` | [`sandbox`](../packages/sandbox/sandbox) | [`sandbox-local`](../packages/sandbox/sandbox-local) | [`bash-sandbox`](../packages/bash/bash-sandbox), [`pty-local`](../packages/pty/pty-local) | - | Consumers hand over the exact argv they are about to spawn; same-world backends wrap it under a per-call policy and report enforcement. |
| `ctx.sandboxPolicy` | `core` | [`sandbox-policy`](../packages/sandbox/sandbox-policy) | - | [`bash-sandbox`](../packages/bash/bash-sandbox), [`fs-sandbox`](../packages/fs/fs-sandbox), [`pty-local`](../packages/pty/pty-local) | - | The one home for the deployment default mode + workspace root; only the sandboxed executor and provider read the service (the tool layers use the pure `sandbox/mode` fold it also exports). Both enforcing families read it so bash and fs cannot confine to different roots. |
| `ctx.approval` | `seam` | `approval` | [`acp`](../packages/acp/acp) | [`tools`](../packages/core/tools), [`tool-bash`](../packages/bash/tool-bash) | - | One-shot permission decisions dispatched over the `approval/request` waterfall; answerers are listeners (the ACP bridge for its own agents), absence fails closed to `unavailable`. |
| `ctx.permission` | `core` | [`permission`](../packages/ui/permission) | - | - | - | User-facing preset table (`workspace-write`/`danger-full-access`) bundling the sandbox-mode and approval-policy knobs; a switch writes one `permission/preset` event through to both knob events. |
| `ctx.codeRuntime` | `seam` | [`code-runtime`](../packages/code-runtime/code-runtime) | [`code-runtime-worker`](../packages/code-runtime/code-runtime-worker) | [`tools`](../packages/core/tools) | - | Runs one model-written program against host-provided async bindings; backends differ by substrate and language (the tool registry consumes it for Code Mode). |
| `ctx.fs` | `seam` | [`fs`](../packages/fs/fs) | [`fs-local`](../packages/fs/fs-local), [`fs-sandbox`](../packages/fs/fs-sandbox) | [`tool-fs`](../packages/fs/tool-fs) | [`fs-policy`](../packages/fs/fs-policy) | tool-fs executes read/write/edit through ctx.fs; fs-sandbox fences mutations by the shared sandbox mode; fs-policy contributes observed-state checks through the fs/* event gate. |
| `ctx.compact` | `seam` | [`compact`](../packages/compact/compact) | [`compact-basic`](../packages/compact/compact-basic) | [`compact-basic`](../packages/compact/compact-basic) | - | The basic backend consumes post-step pressure and request-error recovery events; a model-facing compact tool remains deferred. |
| `ctx.subagents` | `seam` | [`subagent`](../packages/subagent/subagent) | [`subagent-spawn`](../packages/subagent/subagent-spawn), [`subagent-fork`](../packages/subagent/subagent-fork), [`subagent-acp`](../packages/subagent/subagent-acp) | [`tool-subagent`](../packages/subagent/tool-subagent), [`tool-subagent-control`](../packages/subagent/tool-subagent-control), [`tool-ralph`](../packages/workflow/tool-ralph) | - | Providers implement transports; the service also owns optional Activation-based continuation orchestration, tool-subagent selects one-shot or continuable delegation, tool-subagent-control delivers follow-ups, and tool-ralph requires one fresh structured-output route. |
| `ctx.tasks` | `seam` | [`tasks`](../packages/tasks/tasks) | [`tasks-local`](../packages/tasks/tasks-local) | [`tool-bash`](../packages/bash/tool-bash), [`tool-pty`](../packages/pty/tool-pty), [`tool-subagent`](../packages/subagent/tool-subagent), [`tool-tasks`](../packages/tasks/tool-tasks) | - | Producers (background bash, PTY sends, and subagent delegations) register running work; tool-tasks is the model-facing control surface that reads, lists, and kills it; tasks-local is the process-local registry. |
| `ctx.web` | `seam` | [`web`](../packages/web/web) | [`web-search-exa`](../packages/web/web-search-exa), [`web-search-perplexity`](../packages/web/web-search-perplexity), [`web-search-deepseek`](../packages/web/web-search-deepseek), [`web-fetch-local`](../packages/web/web-fetch-local) | [`tool-web`](../packages/web/tool-web) | - | Search and fetch providers register into one ctx.web seam; tool-web owns the stable model-facing names. |
| `ctx.spillStore` | `seam` | [`spill`](../packages/spill/spill) | [`spill-local`](../packages/spill/spill-local) | [`spill-policy`](../packages/spill/spill-policy) | - | The backend saves oversized tool text and returns a model-facing locator plus retrieval hint; spill-policy is the tools/post-execute consumer that decides when to spill. |
| `ctx.directoryPicker` | `seam` | `directory-picker` | `directory-picker-native`, `directory-picker-browse` | `apiproxy` | - | Discriminated interaction capability: the native backend opens one OS chooser on the host display, the browse backend serves listing/creation primitives for the in-app browser; dual-face backends fill ui-workspace directory-flow slots from their browser halves (no wire advertisement). |
| `ctx.httpServer` | `core` | `webserver` | - | `connection`, `modules`, `hmr` | - | Plain node:http carrier: named-route registry, index transform taps, and the static dist fallback; web-transport plugins register their own routes. |
| `ctx.clientModuleHost` | `core` | `modules` | - | `hmr` | - | Composes the __DSH_BOOT__ entry graph from an incremental dshClient scan, serves plugin bundles, and notifies rebuilt/graph-changed subscribers. |
| `ctx.workflows` | `seam` | [`workflow`](../packages/workflow/workflow) | [`workflow-workerthread`](../packages/workflow/workflow-workerthread) | [`tool-workflow`](../packages/workflow/tool-workflow), [`tool-ralph`](../packages/workflow/tool-ralph) | - | One engine per context (bash shape, no named-provider registry); the general workflow and fixed Ralph consumers start runs whose agent() calls fan out through ctx.subagents. |
