# Packages
2026-06-17 21:26:57 +08:00
Harness packages, all under the `@deepseek-ai/dsh-*` scope. Each package is a Cordis plugin (microkernel-style): it exports either a default `Service` subclass or a functional plugin that gets registered via `ctx.plugin()` , declares its ctx key/events where applicable through declaration merging, and exposes extension points through `ctx.effect()` , `ctx.on()` , and `ctx.waterfall()` .

## Hierarchy
Packages are grouped by modular role at `packages/<group>/<pkg>/` . The group directory is a pure container (no `package.json` of its own); the package name stays `@deepseek-ai/dsh-<pkg>` regardless of group. Each group has a `README.md` describing its role and whether it is product or support infrastructure.
| Group | Role | Release expectation |
|---|---|---|
| [`core/` ](core/README.md ) | Product API spine: session, system-prompt, tools, agent, and the concrete loop | Product — stable surface |
| [`llm/` ](llm/README.md ) | LLM capability family: the abstract service + provider adapters | Product — stable surface |
| [`bash/` ](bash/README.md ) | Bash capability family: the executor seam, a local impl, and the model-facing tool | Product — stable surface |
2026-06-23 16:40:24 +08:00
| [`compact/` ](compact/README.md ) | Compaction capability family: the abstract seam (backend + tool deferred) | Product — stable surface |
Add subagent capability seam: interface, mock backend, model-facing tool
Introduce the `packages/subagent/` group and the abstract subagent seam — an
agent delegating to a child agent — as a named-provider registry (`ctx.subagents`),
unlike the single-implementation bash seam, so multiple transports (in-process,
ACP, future A2A) coexist. This first PR lands the interface, a scripted test
backend, and the model-facing tool, validated through the real cordis load path.
- dsh-subagent: SubagentService registry + SubagentProvider/SubagentRun
vocabulary + subagent/start|end events. Start-time capabilities (outputSchema,
depthLimit, toolFilter) are checked pre-start and rejected loud; runtime
capabilities (sendMessage, resume) are optional methods on SubagentRun.
- dsh-subagent-mock (support): scripted provider for keyless, deterministic
tests through the real Loader/export path.
- dsh-tool-subagent: the model-facing `subagent` tool, config-bound to one
provider; synchronous collect with try/finally dispose, signal->cancel
bridging, and non-completed-stop-reason -> isError mapping.
- Proposed RFC documenting the seam, the fork-vs-spawn-as-separate-backends
decision, own-session isolation, synchronous-collect scope, and the deferral
of background/poll/spill to a future unification with bash.
- Wire the new group into tsconfigs, build refs, package hierarchy docs, the
module graph, and the cordis catalog.

| [`subagent/` ](subagent/README.md ) | Subagent capability family: the provider-registry seam and the model-facing delegation tool | Product — stable surface |
Add web capability seam: ctx.web, search/fetch providers, web tools
Introduce web access as a first-class capability seam so the model-facing
web tools stay stable while backends change. dsh-web owns ctx.web as a
provider registry with registration-order-independent selection and the
WebError taxonomy; dsh-web-search-exa, dsh-web-search-perplexity, and
dsh-web-fetch-local register capabilities into it; dsh-tool-web is the sole
owner of the model-facing web_search/web_fetch schemas, prompt sections, and
HTML-to-markdown presentation. Search and fetch are deliberately one seam.
Providers ship as namespace plugins that register into ctx.web (like an
LlmAdapter into ctx.llm), not key-owning services, since multiple search
providers cannot each own the key. Tool registration follows product
enablement, not backend availability, so load order/credentials never enter
the model contract; the seam resolves the provider at execution time and
surfaces a structured WebError otherwise.
Moves the RFC to implemented/ amended to match what shipped. Example/app
configs are intentionally not wired yet (RFC migration step 6).

feat(tool-todo): add the model-facing todo_write tool
Add @deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-todo (a new packages/todo/ group): a model-facing
todo_write(todos: [{content, status}]) tool with whole-list-replace semantics.
Each call appends the full list as a todo/write event to the calling agent's
session log; the current list is the most recent such event (last-write-wins).
Single-owner — a non-agent caller is rejected. Beyond the schema's
type/required/enum checks, execute rejects empty/duplicate content and more than
one in_progress task, narrowing the loosely-typed args into a real TodoItem[].
Both UIs render off the existing session/event: the stdio UI prints a glyphed
checklist; the ACP bridge maps the list to a `plan` sessionUpdate (todosToPlan
synthesizes the priority ACP requires; status maps 1:1). Wired into the
coding-agent, acp-agent, and snapshot example configs with a system-prompt nudge.
Tests: unit (schema, validation, append/replace, no-agent rejection, presentCall,
HMR-safety, Loader export-shape guard), full-loop integration through the agent
loop, the ACP todosToPlan mapping + stream-update arm, the stdio render arm, and
a session/load replay that re-emits the plan. New-group TS wiring added to
tsconfig.base/json/build. RFC + a doc-inventory sweep (architecture, packages
README, AGENTS layout, cookbook group list, example READMEs) ship with it.
The todo-plan ACP snapshot scenario is recorded separately (needs an API key).

The split is the point: a package's group says whether it is part of the product API or support/test/example infrastructure, so release and removal decisions do not have to treat every package as an equal public contract. New packages join an existing group; adding a new top-level group is a deliberate act (extend the group READMEs and the hierarchy docs).
refactor(examples): extract reusable logic into tested packages
Logic that lived under examples/ was outside the per-file 100% coverage
gate (examples/ are not workspaces) and, in the stdio-UI case, duplicated
across two examples. Move it into packages/ so it is gated and de-duped.
- packages/ui-stdio (new): unify the two diverged stdio-chat.ts copies into
one @deepseek-ai/dsh-ui-stdio plugin (welcome/agent Config). A test-only
I/O seam (createStdioChat(ctx, config, runtime)) keeps process streams out
of the serializable config and makes every render/EOF/disposal branch
unit-testable. Per-file 100%. echo/coding cordis.yml now load the package;
both src/stdio-chat.ts deleted.
- packages/llm-replay (new): move examples/acp-agent/src/llm-replay.ts (+ its
spec) here so its derive/parse/replay branches fall under the coverage gate.
cordis.snapshot.yml + README rewired to the package name; added apply/env
/assertNever/abort tests to reach per-file 100%.
- examples/{echo,coding}-agent: keyless Loader-path e2e smokes that boot the
real cordis.yml (no key) — the guard a hand-mounted unit test cannot be for
the unwrapExports/export-shape class (postmortem 0001). examples/AGENTS.md
codifies the keyless+with-key smoke convention (keyless-by-nature exception
for echo-agent).
- AGENTS.md: a scoped, removal-triggered pre-release stance (foundation over
blast radius). packages/README.md: new rows + a FIXME to later regroup ALL
packages into a hierarchy. Wiring: tsconfig paths/refs, publint, knip,
module-graph.
Verified: typecheck, lint, test:coverage (887 tests, 100%), build, hygiene,
doc-sync, test:snapshot (10), test:e2e (6 keyless pass, with-key self-skip).

Add the ACP subagent backend: out-of-process delegation (PR3)
The first OUT-OF-PROCESS subagent backend, proving the seam generalizes past the
in-process backends. @deepseek-ai/dsh-subagent-acp runs each child agent in a
spawned subprocess, driven over the Agent Client Protocol as the CLIENT — the
direction-inverted twin of the dsh-acp server bridge. Point the configured
command at the acp-agent example and the harness talks to its own process.
- Fresh process per run: start spawns, runs one ACP session (initialize →
newSession → prompt), dispose kills the subprocess and awaits its exit.
- Minimal client stub: advertises no fs/terminal; accumulates agent_message_chunk
text as the result output; auto-answers session/request_permission by a
configured policy (reject default / allow). No start-time capabilities (an
out-of-process child can't enforce the parent's depth/tool-filter); ignores
request.parent; injects only `subagents`.
- StopReason mapping (end_turn→completed, cancelled→aborted, …); result resolves
error/aborted on a child failure, never rejects (seam contract).
- Security: credential-shaped ambient env vars are scrubbed; the child's own key
is forwarded only via explicit config.env. A spawn-level error (ENOENT) is
captured and raced against the ACP drive so a bad command settles error rather
than crashing the parent.
Testing designed at every tier: keyless integration drives a scripted mock ACP
server subprocess (cancellation incl. the pre-newSession race and a
torn-pipe-after-cancel, permission auto-answer, non-message updates, spawn
failure, HMR, export shape) at 100% coverage; a with-key e2e drives the REAL
acp-agent example process (PONG + real file write, verified on disk) — the
harness driving itself. Snapshot coverage of an ACP child is deferred as
TODO(acp-subagent-replay) (each child is its own process with its own replay).
Stayed on @agentclientprotocol/sdk 0.25.1: the proposed 0.28.x bump only
deprecates the stable ClientSideConnection/AgentSideConnection API this layer
uses (33 sites incl. the server bridge), turning no-deprecated red across code
this PR shouldn't rewrite — that fluent-API migration is its own follow-up. The
backend needs nothing 0.28.x adds.

feat(tool-todo): add the model-facing todo_write tool
Add @deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-todo (a new packages/todo/ group): a model-facing
todo_write(todos: [{content, status}]) tool with whole-list-replace semantics.
Each call appends the full list as a todo/write event to the calling agent's
session log; the current list is the most recent such event (last-write-wins).
Single-owner — a non-agent caller is rejected. Beyond the schema's
type/required/enum checks, execute rejects empty/duplicate content and more than
one in_progress task, narrowing the loosely-typed args into a real TodoItem[].
Both UIs render off the existing session/event: the stdio UI prints a glyphed
checklist; the ACP bridge maps the list to a `plan` sessionUpdate (todosToPlan
synthesizes the priority ACP requires; status maps 1:1). Wired into the
coding-agent, acp-agent, and snapshot example configs with a system-prompt nudge.
Tests: unit (schema, validation, append/replace, no-agent rejection, presentCall,
HMR-safety, Loader export-shape guard), full-loop integration through the agent
loop, the ACP todosToPlan mapping + stream-update arm, the stdio render arm, and
a session/load replay that re-emits the plan. New-group TS wiring added to
tsconfig.base/json/build. RFC + a doc-inventory sweep (architecture, packages
README, AGENTS layout, cookbook group list, example READMEs) ship with it.
The todo-plan ACP snapshot scenario is recorded separately (needs an API key).

dsh-tool-todo ← dsh-tools, dsh-agent, dsh-session (model-facing todo_write tool; whole list on the session log)
refactor(examples): extract the app spine into dsh-agent-core + app packages
Implements docs/rfc/.../2026-06-20-extract-example-app-packages.md. Each
example was thick — a hand-rolled start.ts, an infra preamble, nested
base.yml/base-core.yml/acp-tail.yml includes, and a coupled front-door
cluster enforced only by prose. This moves the composition into packages so
each example is a thin leaf cordis.yml: pick the swappable backends, load one
app package.
New packages:
- @deepseek-ai/dsh-agent-core (packages/core/agent-core): one bundle plugin
that loads the providerless/executor-less/UI-less spine (timer + llm +
sessions + system-prompt + tools + agents + invariants + tool-bash +
agent-loop) via ctx.plugin(...) inside apply(), and forwards agent-loop's
`agents` list as its own Config (export const Config = AgentLoop.Config,
default []).
- @deepseek-ai/dsh-stdio-agent (packages/ui/stdio-agent): terminal chat APP —
agent-core + console logger + readline UI + a pre-created `main` agent, with
a bin. The demo:echo/coding front door.
- @deepseek-ai/dsh-acp-agent (packages/ui/acp-agent): ACP server APP —
agent-core + JSONL persistence + the acp bridge, NO stdout logger, with a
bin. The stdout-purity footgun is structurally unreachable from the leaf.
Amendment to the RFC: hmr stays a LEAF cordis.yml entry, not baked into
dsh-stdio-agent. hmr is a Loader-only dev plugin (throws without
--expose-internals; the in-process test tier can't even import its decorator
form), so a package statically importing it could never carry the per-file
coverage gate. Unlike the console logger, a stray hmr is not a stdout-purity
footgun, so leaving it at the leaf costs no safety. With hmr out, all three new
packages carry in-process unit specs at 100%.
Boot glue (Loader tail, .env load, snapshot-mode selection, stdin-dispose
lifecycle) moves into each app's bin; start.ts and base.yml/base-core.yml/
acp-tail.yml are deleted. Each app package gets a keyless real-load-path test
that boots through its bin + the cordis Loader (guarding the unwrapExports
export-shape bug class, postmortem 0001). ACP snapshot replay stays green
against the existing committed goldens (pure boot restructuring). RFC moved
proposed->implemented with the amendment recorded; package/example/architecture
docs and the module graph updated.

dsh-stdio-agent ← dsh-agent-core, dsh-ui-stdio, dsh-session-persistence-jsonl, dsh-agent, dsh-session (stdio chat APP + bin)

symlinks) for packages/ and vendor/; module-level doc comments in
every packages/*/src file; richer JSDoc on all exported API
(event side effects, disposal contracts, error behavior). Root
AGENTS.md gains a "Type Safety and Documentation" policy section:
the codebase aims to be very type-safe and well documented; type
gymnastics are acceptable in core packages when they improve
plugin-author DX; verbose docs are fine as long as they stay strictly
in sync with the code.
Type safety: removed the upstream-inherited "noImplicitAny": false
from tsconfig.base.json — packages/* now compile under full strict

already did). Eliminated every `: any` / `as any` from packages and

event data access uses discriminated-union narrowing).
Typed tool schemas: new @deepseek-ai/dsh-tools schema DSL —
SchemaSpec with per-property `required: true` booleans, type-level
InferArgs<S>, a runtime SchemaSpec → JSON Schema converter, and
defineTool() so first-party tools get typed execute(args) with zero
casts (raw JSON Schema still accepted for MCP interop; chosen over
schemastery because it targets JSON Schema generation directly).

fix review findings: harden the app bins + built-bin smokes, arch-exception doc, snapshot fixture-guard
BLOCKER — the published lib/bin.js (stdio + acp) was exercised only via tsx
(demo:* / the src/bin.ts smokes); the built artifact under plain `node` was
unguarded. Root-cause on the BUILT bin:
1. Settle race: boot() returned once loader.create() registered the include
ENTRY, but the include loads its child plugins asynchronously — so boot()
(and main()) resolved while the app plugins (stdin reader, agent loop, ACP
bridge) were still mounting. A CLI with no attached handles yet exits 0
silently, and a load error surfaces as an unhandled rejection AFTER boot.
Fix: `await ctx.loader.await()` after create() — settle the whole tree.
2. Config-path robustness: hand the include the config's ABSOLUTE file:// URL
so resolution never depends on ctx.baseUrl / can never fall back to cwd.
Both bins fixed identically. NOTE: the cordis Loader resolves a config's bare
plugin specifiers via its internal module loader, active only under
`node --expose-internals`; the bin cannot add a node flag itself, so this is
documented in the bin JSDoc + both package READMEs (the demos already comply).
The repo `examples/*/cordis.yml` are tsx-only artifacts (workspace plugins
resolve through the tsconfig paths map, not node_modules), so they are not a
valid plain-node bin target — the smokes use a real-install-shaped temp dir.
Fail loud on a load failure: boot() previously exited 0 SILENTLY when a config
path's directory does not exist — the include plugin fails to IMPORT, the cordis
Loader catches+LOGS it and leaves the entry with no fiber (no rejection), and
`loader.await()` does not rethrow (EntryTree.await uses Promise.allSettled). Fix:
boot() now calls assertEntriesLoaded(ctx) after the tree settles and throws on
any entry with no fiber, so a typo'd config dir exits non-zero with a clear
message. main() also installs an unhandledRejection guard (installFailLoud) that
replaces Node's stack dump with a single labelled stderr line for the
companion case (a missing config FILE in a real dir, whose include-init throw
surfaces as a rejection Node already exits non-zero on). Regression tests added
to both built-bin smokes (missing dir + missing file → non-zero exit + stderr);
verified the missing-dir test fails on the pre-fix bin.
Built-bin smokes (the reviewer's ask): packages/ui/{stdio,acp}-agent/tests/
built-bin.e2e.ts run the REAL lib/bin.js under `node` (NOT tsx) in a temp
consumer dir, asserting the stdio echo round-trip / the acp initialize response
+ stdout purity, plus the fail-loud cases above. They build-gate (skip if lib/
absent) and run in a new ci.yml step after the build.
Issue 2 — packages/README.md + docs/architecture.md said "plugins depend on
interfaces, never on the concrete loop", but dsh-agent-core imports the concrete
dsh-agent-loop. Scope the rule to EXTENSION plugins and carve out the sanctioned
COMPOSITION/bundle exception (dsh-agent-core composes the concrete spine); note
it in the implemented RFC too.
Issue 3 — examples/acp-agent/tests/acp.snapshot.ts fixture-guard claimed
no-model scenarios need no session.jsonl, but runScenario() always boots
llm-replay with the session.jsonl path and loadReplayScript() throws when it is
absent. Require session.jsonl for ALL scenarios (no-model ones ship a
header-only fixture) and rewrite the comment to match reality.
2026-06-21 15:13:57 +08:00
The rule: **extension** plugins depend on interfaces, never on the concrete loop. `dsh-agent-loop` is swappable — UI/hook/tool plugins keep working against the `dsh-agent` vocabulary if the loop is replaced. The sanctioned exception is a **composition/bundle** package like `dsh-agent-core` , whose whole job is to assemble the concrete spine: it depends on `dsh-agent-loop` (and the other concrete spine plugins) on purpose. The rule constrains plugins that EXTEND the system, not the bundle that COMPOSES it — swapping the loop means shipping a different bundle, not rewiring every extension. A swappable capability splits into interface / implementation / consumer packages (the bash trio is the template — see [capability seams ](../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-13-capability-seams.md )).

Add web capability seam: ctx.web, search/fetch providers, web tools
Introduce web access as a first-class capability seam so the model-facing
web tools stay stable while backends change. dsh-web owns ctx.web as a
provider registry with registration-order-independent selection and the
WebError taxonomy; dsh-web-search-exa, dsh-web-search-perplexity, and
dsh-web-fetch-local register capabilities into it; dsh-tool-web is the sole
owner of the model-facing web_search/web_fetch schemas, prompt sections, and
HTML-to-markdown presentation. Search and fetch are deliberately one seam.
Providers ship as namespace plugins that register into ctx.web (like an
LlmAdapter into ctx.llm), not key-owning services, since multiple search
providers cannot each own the key. Tool registration follows product
enablement, not backend availability, so load order/credentials never enter
the model contract; the seam resolves the provider at execution time and
surfaces a structured WebError otherwise.
Moves the RFC to implemented/ amended to match what shipped. Example/app
configs are intentionally not wired yet (RFC migration step 6).

Add subagent capability seam: interface, mock backend, model-facing tool
Introduce the `packages/subagent/` group and the abstract subagent seam — an
agent delegating to a child agent — as a named-provider registry (`ctx.subagents`),
unlike the single-implementation bash seam, so multiple transports (in-process,
ACP, future A2A) coexist. This first PR lands the interface, a scripted test
backend, and the model-facing tool, validated through the real cordis load path.
- dsh-subagent: SubagentService registry + SubagentProvider/SubagentRun
vocabulary + subagent/start|end events. Start-time capabilities (outputSchema,
depthLimit, toolFilter) are checked pre-start and rejected loud; runtime
capabilities (sendMessage, resume) are optional methods on SubagentRun.
- dsh-subagent-mock (support): scripted provider for keyless, deterministic
tests through the real Loader/export path.
- dsh-tool-subagent: the model-facing `subagent` tool, config-bound to one
provider; synchronous collect with try/finally dispose, signal->cancel
bridging, and non-completed-stop-reason -> isError mapping.
- Proposed RFC documenting the seam, the fork-vs-spawn-as-separate-backends
decision, own-session isolation, synchronous-collect scope, and the deferral
of background/poll/spill to a future unification with bash.
- Wire the new group into tsconfigs, build refs, package hierarchy docs, the
module graph, and the cordis catalog.

Add in-process subagent backends: spawn (fresh) and fork (seeded)
The second PR of the subagent seam: the two in-process backends that run a
child agent on the same cordis context, reusing the agent factory's quiescent
AgentHandle teardown. Both register on ctx.subagents (PR1's named-provider
registry) and share one run driver.
- dsh-subagent-spawn: a FRESH child via ctx.agents.create — own session, the
parent's model by default (overridable), zero inherited conversation. Also
exports the shared in-process run driver (startInProcessRun): mint ids, stamp
cwd/parentSession-lineage/depth, drive the one-shot (send → whenIdle), read
the last assistant/message + turn/end reason, dispose to quiescence.
- dsh-subagent-fork: a child SEEDED with the parent's balanced completed-turn
prefix (the log up to and including its last turn/end), so the child inherits
context. The in-flight unbalanced turn is excluded — a raw seed would fail the
invariants replay. Proven: a regression test goes red if the boundary seeds
the open turn.
- Seam extension: CreateAgentOptions.seed, threaded through AgentLoop.createAgent
→ ctx.sessions.prepare({ seed }) (the primitive resume already used). This is
the fork-lineage path the TODO(sub-agents) markers anticipated.
- Depth: a merge-extensible AgentOptions.subagentDepth (0 top-level, parent+1 for
a child); the depthLimit capability refuses a spawn past request.maxDepth.
Tests: real-loop unit tests for both backends (mock MODEL only, real loop +
invariants), a multi-subagent test (one parent drives a fork AND a spawn child
then keeps working), and a with-key e2e (a real parent delegates via the
`subagent` tool to a real child that writes a file on disk — world-verified).
100% per-file coverage. The coding-agent demo wires the spawn backend + tool.
Snapshot coverage of nested agents is deferred to a stacked follow-up
(TODO(subagent-snapshots)): dsh-llm-replay is a single global positional cursor
that cannot route calls to a parent vs. a child on one context. Recorded in the
RFC's deferrals and a new AGENTS.md rule: designing a subsystem must design its
test infrastructure END TO END up front, verifying the snapshot/e2e harness can
express the new shape — a gap this plan hit.

| `subagent-fork/` | `subagent` | In-process backend: a child agent seeded with the parent's completed-turn prefix | (registers on `ctx.subagents` ) |
Add the ACP subagent backend: out-of-process delegation (PR3)
The first OUT-OF-PROCESS subagent backend, proving the seam generalizes past the
in-process backends. @deepseek-ai/dsh-subagent-acp runs each child agent in a
spawned subprocess, driven over the Agent Client Protocol as the CLIENT — the
direction-inverted twin of the dsh-acp server bridge. Point the configured
command at the acp-agent example and the harness talks to its own process.
- Fresh process per run: start spawns, runs one ACP session (initialize →
newSession → prompt), dispose kills the subprocess and awaits its exit.
- Minimal client stub: advertises no fs/terminal; accumulates agent_message_chunk
text as the result output; auto-answers session/request_permission by a
configured policy (reject default / allow). No start-time capabilities (an
out-of-process child can't enforce the parent's depth/tool-filter); ignores
request.parent; injects only `subagents`.
- StopReason mapping (end_turn→completed, cancelled→aborted, …); result resolves
error/aborted on a child failure, never rejects (seam contract).
- Security: credential-shaped ambient env vars are scrubbed; the child's own key
is forwarded only via explicit config.env. A spawn-level error (ENOENT) is
captured and raced against the ACP drive so a bad command settles error rather
than crashing the parent.
Testing designed at every tier: keyless integration drives a scripted mock ACP
server subprocess (cancellation incl. the pre-newSession race and a
torn-pipe-after-cancel, permission auto-answer, non-message updates, spawn
failure, HMR, export shape) at 100% coverage; a with-key e2e drives the REAL
acp-agent example process (PONG + real file write, verified on disk) — the
harness driving itself. Snapshot coverage of an ACP child is deferred as
TODO(acp-subagent-replay) (each child is its own process with its own replay).
Stayed on @agentclientprotocol/sdk 0.25.1: the proposed 0.28.x bump only
deprecates the stable ClientSideConnection/AgentSideConnection API this layer
uses (33 sites incl. the server bridge), turning no-deprecated red across code
this PR shouldn't rewrite — that fluent-API migration is its own follow-up. The
backend needs nothing 0.28.x adds.
This completes the subagent seam stack (PR1 interface → PR2 in-process → PR2.5
snapshot infra → PR3 ACP); the seam RFC moves to implemented/, amended.

Add subagent capability seam: interface, mock backend, model-facing tool
Introduce the `packages/subagent/` group and the abstract subagent seam — an
agent delegating to a child agent — as a named-provider registry (`ctx.subagents`),
unlike the single-implementation bash seam, so multiple transports (in-process,
ACP, future A2A) coexist. This first PR lands the interface, a scripted test
backend, and the model-facing tool, validated through the real cordis load path.
- dsh-subagent: SubagentService registry + SubagentProvider/SubagentRun
vocabulary + subagent/start|end events. Start-time capabilities (outputSchema,
depthLimit, toolFilter) are checked pre-start and rejected loud; runtime
capabilities (sendMessage, resume) are optional methods on SubagentRun.
- dsh-subagent-mock (support): scripted provider for keyless, deterministic
tests through the real Loader/export path.
- dsh-tool-subagent: the model-facing `subagent` tool, config-bound to one
provider; synchronous collect with try/finally dispose, signal->cancel
bridging, and non-completed-stop-reason -> isError mapping.
- Proposed RFC documenting the seam, the fork-vs-spawn-as-separate-backends
decision, own-session isolation, synchronous-collect scope, and the deferral
of background/poll/spill to a future unification with bash.
- Wire the new group into tsconfigs, build refs, package hierarchy docs, the
module graph, and the cordis catalog.

feat(tool-todo): add the model-facing todo_write tool
Add @deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-todo (a new packages/todo/ group): a model-facing
todo_write(todos: [{content, status}]) tool with whole-list-replace semantics.
Each call appends the full list as a todo/write event to the calling agent's
session log; the current list is the most recent such event (last-write-wins).
Single-owner — a non-agent caller is rejected. Beyond the schema's
type/required/enum checks, execute rejects empty/duplicate content and more than
one in_progress task, narrowing the loosely-typed args into a real TodoItem[].
Both UIs render off the existing session/event: the stdio UI prints a glyphed
checklist; the ACP bridge maps the list to a `plan` sessionUpdate (todosToPlan
synthesizes the priority ACP requires; status maps 1:1). Wired into the
coding-agent, acp-agent, and snapshot example configs with a system-prompt nudge.
Tests: unit (schema, validation, append/replace, no-agent rejection, presentCall,
HMR-safety, Loader export-shape guard), full-loop integration through the agent
loop, the ACP todosToPlan mapping + stream-update arm, the stdio render arm, and
a session/load replay that re-emits the plan. New-group TS wiring added to
tsconfig.base/json/build. RFC + a doc-inventory sweep (architecture, packages
README, AGENTS layout, cookbook group list, example READMEs) ship with it.
The todo-plan ACP snapshot scenario is recorded separately (needs an API key).

Document the codebase thoroughly and tighten type safety
Docs: per-folder README.md for packages/ (family overview + one per
package: service, events, API, extension points, TODOs), examples/,
and examples/echo-agent/; folder-level AGENTS.md (+ CLAUDE.md
symlinks) for packages/ and vendor/; module-level doc comments in
every packages/*/src file; richer JSDoc on all exported API
(event side effects, disposal contracts, error behavior). Root
AGENTS.md gains a "Type Safety and Documentation" policy section:
the codebase aims to be very type-safe and well documented; type
gymnastics are acceptable in core packages when they improve
plugin-author DX; verbose docs are fine as long as they stay strictly
in sync with the code.
Type safety: removed the upstream-inherited "noImplicitAny": false
from tsconfig.base.json — packages/* now compile under full strict
mode; vendor/loader and vendor/include set it locally (vendor/cordis
already did). Eliminated every `: any` / `as any` from packages and
examples (catch clauses use unknown + a CodedError narrowing type;
event data access uses discriminated-union narrowing).
Typed tool schemas: new @deepseek-ai/dsh-tools schema DSL —
SchemaSpec with per-property `required: true` booleans, type-level
InferArgs<S>, a runtime SchemaSpec → JSON Schema converter, and
defineTool() so first-party tools get typed execute(args) with zero
casts (raw JSON Schema still accepted for MCP interop; chosen over
schemastery because it targets JSON Schema generation directly).
echo-tool and all test tools migrated; +7 tests.

Each package has its own `README.md` with purpose, service API, events, extension points, and deliberate non-goals (TODOs).

## Conventions (applied across all harness packages)
2026-06-13 18:39:20 +08:00
- **Registrations are effects**: every contribution (adapter, tool, section, agent, event listener) goes through `ctx.effect()` / `ctx.on()` , so disposal and HMR clean up automatically. Every `register()` returns the disposer.
- **Declaration merging for events and ctx**: services declare their events in `declare module 'cordis' { interface Events { ... } }` and their ctx key in `interface Context` .
- **Waterfall semantics**: `ctx.waterfall` listeners receive `(...args, next)` and MUST call `next()` to delegate; returning without it short-circuits (the veto mechanism).
- **Extensible unions**: `ContentBlockMap` , `MessageSourceMap` , `FinishReasonMap` , `TurnTriggerMap` , `TurnEndReasonMap` , and `SessionEventMap` use the merge-extensible-map pattern so plugins can add variants via declaration merging.
2026-06-22 06:11:00 +08:00
- **ESM everywhere**; imports use package names across package boundaries and explicit `.ts` relative specifiers within a package.
2026-06-20 23:25:33 +08:00
- **Tests**: vitest, colocated under `packages/<group>/<pkg>/tests/*.spec.ts` . Every registry needs an HMR-safety test. Err on the side of more tests.
