Client command surface (`ctx.command`): the session-keyed command-directory cache, the `/` command source with matchSpace/matchEnter adjudication hooks, three-kind dispatch (execute / popupSelect / leadingInput), and the popupSelect registration face for business packages. Contract: the [web command surfaces Agent Note](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-25-web-command-surfaces-and-assembly.zh.md).

`src/client/contract.ts` is the frozen business face: `CommandServiceContract.register(name, spec)` is everything a business package consumes; `CommandUiSpec{options, onSelect}` keeps popup data self-served — the shell component is this package's and business never sees it. Command kinds derive per dispatch, never per registration: a host descriptor with `input` is leadingInput, a registered `CommandUiSpec` is popupSelect, everything else is execute.

`CommandDirectory` (`src/client/directory.ts`) is the one wire-derived cache, keyed by session: every session is agent-backed, so `command.list({sessionId})` is the only address shape and the source's scope-birth `warm` hook prewarms the session's entry. Entries are soft-invalidated by the `commands/changed` typed event (old snapshot serves while the repull flies), hard-invalidated by `connection/reset`, epoch-guarded so a superseded pull can never overwrite a newer one. `matchSpace` answers synchronously from this cache only; `matchEnter` strong-waits it on the SubmitAttempt signal and rejects on warmup failure — a `/` line is never silently downgraded to a plain prompt.

`PopupSelectController` (`src/client/popup.ts`) is the headless shell state: `PopupSelectView` self-registers into `conversation.input.overlay` (the SlotMap key is ui-conversation's; this package pulls the declaration in with a type-only import — no runtime edge). The shell is a transient layer holding focus while open; token-segment consumption after onSelect runs both branches through `consumeTokenSegment` (menu-path span CAS, enter-path bare-token equality) against the draft face the wiring layer binds via `bindDraft`.

The `/client` export surface is the plugin body (`apply`/`inject`), `CommandService`, the directory and popup classes with their state types, and the frozen contract types; the shell component itself is internal to the overlay registration.

## Model Experience

Indirectly, through the host `command.execute` RPC this package's dispatch and `claim.submit` paths trigger: a matched command's handler mutates host domain state that other packages project into the next request (the `/plan` handler flips plan mode, whose owning package injects its `plan:policy` system-prompt section), while the command line itself, the detached result, and every menu/notice rendering stay client-side and never enter the session log.

#### KV Cache effect

None directly; this package neither assembles nor sends a provider request. Command handlers it triggers may change what the owning host packages contribute to the next request's system prompt (a section appearing or disappearing replaces earlier request tokens and invalidates the provider prefix from that point), but that effect is owned and documented by each command's host package.

## Known Limitations and Deferred Work

- **The popupSelect shell has no shipped business consumer** — model selection (host `selectModel`) is the design's reference case and lands with its own feature work; until then the shell is exercised by package tests only.
- **Detached-result notices fall back to the console off-session** — the fire-and-forget paths route results to the triggering session's composer via `SessionInput.notify`; after session teardown the console line is the only remaining surface.
