# RFC: Vendor Cordis as source, not npm dependencies
2026-06-11 15:24:14 +08:00
docs(rfc): define and enforce a uniform RFC format; adopt it across the corpus
Define the in-file RFC contract in docs/rfc/README.md § The file format:
the header block (`# RFC: <title>` plus a dateless Status enum
cross-checked against the lifecycle folder), the per-lifecycle body
skeleton (a Problem opener everywhere; Proposal/Alternatives considered/
Acceptance criteria/Risks in proposed/; present-tense Decision/
Consequences with proposal-era headings banned in implemented/; the
frozen proposal shape in rejected/), and a mandatory Alternatives
considered section with a date-fenced grandfather comment for pre-format
RFCs whose alternatives are not reconstructible from the record.
Enforce it with a new doc-sync gate, scripts/verify-rfc-format.ts, and
normalize all 112 RFCs to it: ~15 Status-line spellings collapse to the
enum, 29 Context openers become Problem, the 39 legacy-format XXX debt
markers are resolved and banned from reappearing, proposal-era sections
in implemented RFCs are rewritten to shipped reality (including the
web/fs/subagent seam RFCs' migration plans and test checklists, closing
the doc-tiers deferred-work item on the web seam), every RFC gains an
Alternatives considered section or the grandfather comment, and the
bilingual pair is re-mirrored and re-recorded.
Move the generated index tables out of README.md into a fully generated
docs/rfc/INDEX.md — gen-rfc-index now writes the whole file, and
verify-rfc-classification checks its freshness and rejects index-shaped
rows in the curated README — which makes room for the format contract to
live in the README front door instead of a separate FORMAT.md.
The decision record, and the first RFC written in the new format, is
docs/rfc/implemented/process/2026-07-05-uniform-rfc-format.md.

## Problem
2026-06-11 15:24:14 +08:00
2026-07-05 15:31:50 +08:00
DeepSeek Harness SDK is built on the Cordis framework. Cordis core was at 4.0.0-rc.6 (a release candidate) when this repo started; the harness depends on framework internals (fiber lifecycle, effect disposal, waterfall dispatch) whose exact behavior matters to the agent loop's correctness guarantees.
2026-06-11 15:24:14 +08:00
## Decision
2026-06-13 18:39:20 +08:00
Copy the needed Cordis packages (core, loader, include, group, timer, hmr, logger-console) and the cordiverse foundation libraries (cosmokit, schemastery) into `vendor/` as source, flattened, keeping their original npm names so workspace resolution is transparent. Truly third-party dependencies (js-yaml, chokidar, @standard -schema/spec, …) stay on npm.

`vendor/README.md` is the manifest: upstream repo + commit SHA per package and an exhaustive local-modification log. A pre-commit guard (`scripts/check-vendor-manifest.sh` ) rejects vendored-source changes that don't update the manifest in the same commit.

## Alternatives considered
- **Depend on the npm packages** — rejected: core was at a release candidate, and the harness leans on framework internals (fiber lifecycle, effect disposal, waterfall dispatch) whose exact behavior the agent loop's correctness guarantees depend on; an upstream RC bump could break them without a local fix path.
- **Vendor everything transitively** — rejected: truly third-party dependencies (js-yaml, chokidar, @standard -schema/spec, …) stay on npm; only the framework layer whose internals matter is owned.
2026-06-11 15:24:14 +08:00
## Consequences
2026-06-13 18:39:20 +08:00
- The harness fully owns its framework layer: auditable, patchable, pinned — an RC upstream can't break us, and we can fix framework bugs in-tree.
- Upstream sync is manual (documented procedure in the manifest). The modification log keeps the diff surface known.
- Vendored packages keep upstream code style; lint/strictness gates exclude them (their tsconfigs relax our newer compiler flags locally).
- One local patch exists from day one: hmr's locale-YAML imports removed (the runtime YAML import hook isn't vendored).
