fix(acp): server crashed on connect — drop `export default`, read optional service cwd-independently
Two independent bugs made the ACP server crash the moment an editor (Zed)
connected, despite 178 green unit tests at 100% coverage:
1. `session/new` threw `cannot get property "agents" without inject`. Root
cause: a stray `export default apply` made the cordis Loader's
`unwrapExports` (`exports.default ?? exports`) collapse the module to the
bare `apply` function, discarding the sibling `inject`/`name`/`Config`
named exports. The plugin fiber was built with empty `inject`, so every
`ctx.<service>` read in `apply` threw at load. Fix: remove the default
export so the Loader uses the namespace.
2. `session/load` threw `cannot get property "sessionPersistence" without
inject`. `AgentLoop.resume` read `this.ctx.sessionPersistence` (a service
it deliberately does NOT inject); the property proxy's ancestor-only fiber
walk fails through the bridge's traceable shadow. Fix: read it via
`this.ctx.get('sessionPersistence', false)`, the topology-independent
global-store lookup.
Why the suite missed both: every test mounted the plugin by hand
(`ctx.plugin({name,inject,apply})`), bypassing `unwrapExports` entirely, and
the only test driving these RPCs was key-gated (skipped in CI). Added a no-key
`session/new` e2e that boots the real example through the real Loader — it
fails loudly on bug #1 without an API key. Set `TSX_TSCONFIG_PATH` in the e2e
spawn so the subprocess resolves workspace `paths` from a temp cwd (it was
silently falling back to a stale built `lib/`).
Docs: post-mortem 0001; AGENTS.md "line coverage is not behavior coverage" +
with-key/smoke-test philosophy; packages/AGENTS.md plugin-export-shape and
ctx.get rules; dsh-code-review SKILL checks.

Incident write-ups: a bug reached a place it shouldn't have (a real user, a merged PR, a release), and the interesting part is *why our process let it through* , not just the one-line fix.

A post-mortem is NOT an [Agent Note ](../../.agents/notes/README.md ) (which records a deliberate design decision and its rejected alternatives, or proposes future work). It is a backward-looking record of a failure: what broke, the mechanism, why every safety net missed it, and the concrete guardrails added so the same class of bug fails loudly next time.

Write one when a bug is **subtle** (the mechanism is non-obvious and a careful engineer would re-derive it the hard way), **systemic** (the reason it escaped is a gap in tests/tooling/conventions, not a one-off typo), and **costly to rediscover** (it cost real debugging time, and would cost it again). Link the guardrails (tests, AGENTS.md rules, ADRs) the post-mortem motivated.
Every post-mortem opens with an **Executive summary** : one short paragraph a busy reader can absorb in thirty seconds — what broke, the root cause in plain terms, why it escaped, and the durable lesson — before the detailed Summary / Timeline / Root cause / Guardrails sections that follow.
