# RFC: Doc-sync enforcement
Status: implemented (accepted 2026-06-14)
Status: implemented

## Context
## Problem
AGENTS.md promises that docs and code stay strictly in sync, but the promise was verified by eyeball. Review caught drift twice — a cookbook example contradicting the type policy, and a README citing the wrong `registerAdapter` call. Out-of-sync docs are worse than no docs, and this codebase is built primarily by agents that follow gates far more reliably than prose (mechanical quality gates). Two classes of doc drift are mechanically checkable: code blocks that no longer compile, and the event-taxonomy table that duplicates the `interface Events` declarations.

Two gates, mirroring the existing `scripts/` style (tsx ESM, one job each):
1. **`doc-typecheck`** extracts every fenced ` ```ts ` block from `README.md`, `docs/**`, and `packages/*/README.md`, writes them to a temp project extending the root `tsconfig.json`, and compiles it with `tsc -b`. The temp project reuses the source `paths` map and the root project references, so documentation examples see source while vendored code remains checked under its own tsconfig settings. A block that is a deliberate sketch opts out with an explicit ` ```ts ignore-check ` info string; the script reports the opt-out ratio and fails if it exceeds half, so the escape hatch can't quietly become the norm.
2. **`verify-event-taxonomy`** extracts the event names from the `interface Events` blocks across `packages/*/src` and from the taxonomy table in `docs/architecture.md`, and asserts the two sets match exactly. Verify, don't generate: the table keeps its hand-written Mode/Purpose columns; only the set of names is checked. (Landing this surfaced three events the table had been missing — `tools/change`, `llm/adapter-change`, `system-prompt/change`.) **Superseded** by [the generated cordis catalog](2026-06-20-generated-cordis-catalog.md): this gate and its `architecture.md` table are retired in favor of a fully-generated `docs/cordis-catalog/events-and-services.md` and its `verify-cordis-catalog` freshness gate. The other gates here (`doc-typecheck`, and the `verify-md-wrap` amendment below) are unaffected.

Both run via a shared `doc-sync` package.json script that the lefthook pre-push hook and CI both invoke ([mechanical quality gates](2026-06-11-quality-gates.md): hooks and CI call the same scripts, so the gate fires locally before a push — not only after it). They run after `pnpm run typecheck`, which validates the package/vendor build graph that doc-typecheck references. API-extractor golden reports ([the deferred API-extractor-reports proposal](../../proposed/process/2026-06-11-api-extractor-reports.md)) were deliberately **deferred** — low value for an internal monorepo where reviewers already see the source diff, and a heavy, finicky dependency.

**Amendment (2026-06-17):** a third gate, **`verify-md-wrap`**, was later folded into `doc-sync`. It parses each in-scope Markdown file (`README.md`, `docs/**`, `packages/*/README.md`, plus `AGENTS.md` / `packages/AGENTS.md`) with `mdast-util-from-markdown` + GFM and fails on any `paragraph` node spanning more than one source line, enforcing the docs/AGENTS.md "one physical line per paragraph" writing rule. Same verify-don't-generate principle: it reports hard-wraps and never rewrites, so it adds no formatting churn. `doc-sync` is now three gates.
## Alternatives considered
- **API-extractor golden reports** ([the deferred proposal](../../proposed/process/2026-06-11-api-extractor-reports.md)) — deliberately deferred: low value for an internal monorepo where reviewers already see the source diff, and a heavy, finicky dependency.
- **Generating the taxonomy table from source** instead of verifying names — rejected as more machinery than the problem warranted; the table kept its hand-written Mode/Purpose columns until [the generated cordis catalog](2026-06-20-generated-cordis-catalog.md) superseded the check entirely.
## Consequences
- Doc drift in the checkable classes now fails the pre-push hook and CI instead of waiting for a reviewer to notice. This is an instance of the "mechanical gates over prose" principle.
- Making doc snippets compile costs a few stub imports/`declare`s; the `ignore-check` ratio must stay low or the gate is theater (the ratio guard enforces this).
- The taxonomy check is name-only — a wrong Mode or Purpose column still needs human review. Generating the table from source was considered and rejected as more machinery than the problem warrants.
- The taxonomy check is name-only — a wrong Mode or Purpose column still needs human review.
- API reports remain available to revisit if the packages are ever published externally.

## Problem
This codebase is developed primarily by coding agents. Agents follow enforced gates far more reliably than prose conventions, and "a lot of work" is not a cost argument when agents do the labor. Early evidence: tests that didn't typecheck shipped (vitest doesn't typecheck) and were only caught by a review.

## Consequences
- Conventions survive agent turnover; violations fail fast and locally.
- The gates themselves are code to maintain; config changes are reviewed like any change.
- 100%-coverage pressure can produce assertion-free tests — mutation testing is the planned counterweight (see [the mutation-testing proposal](../../proposed/testing/2026-06-11-mutation-testing.md)).

But dumble is a liability as a load-bearing tool in this repo: v0.2.x, ~530 npm downloads/week, effectively one maintainer, and we were invoking it through a custom orchestration script (`scripts/build.ts`) because it has no workspace mode.

# RFC: pnpm as the package manager instead of Yarn 4

## Context
## Problem
The repo shipped on **Yarn 4** with the `node-modules` linker — a deliberately conservative choice that behaves like npm's flat layout while giving us Yarn's workspaces and `yarn constraints`. It worked. But Yarn 4's Plug'n'Play heritage makes the `node-modules` linker the off-the-beaten-path mode, and the broader JS ecosystem — tooling defaults, CI actions, Corepack examples, contributor familiarity — increasingly centers on pnpm. For a repo that is built primarily by agents and read by occasional human contributors, "the package manager most tools and people expect" has real value: fewer surprises, better-trodden failure paths, more copy-pasteable answers.

It enforces the identical invariants — every package `private: true`; `@deepseek-ai/dsh-*` packages declare `cordis` as both a peer- and dev-dependency with matching ranges, `version: 0.0.1`, `type: module`; vendored packages checked for privacy only — over the same `vendor` + `packages` scope.
- All `yarn …` verbs across CI, lefthook hooks, `package.json` scripts, and docs become `pnpm …` / `pnpm run …`. `yarn.lock``pnpm-lock.yaml` (lockfile v9). `.gitignore` swaps `.yarn/` for `.pnpm-store/`. Vendored READMEs (e.g. `vendor/cordis/README.md`) keep their upstream `yarn` examples untouched per the Vendoring Policy.
Alternatives considered: **keep Yarn 4** (zero churn, but bets on the less-traveled linker mode and a constraints engine tied to one package manager); **npm workspaces** (ubiquitous, but no constraints story and weaker monorepo ergonomics); **pnpm with hoisted linker** (smoother migration, but throws away the phantom-dependency safety that is the main correctness reason to move).

Nothing verified those targets exist. A rename or a move silently breaks every inbound link, and the break is invisible until a reader clicks it.

Scope matches the other gates plus the AGENTS.md pair and the repo-authored agent-skill Markdown under `.agents/skills/` (those skill files cross-link into the docs tree, so this reorg rewrote links in them too): `README.md`, `docs/**/*.md`, `packages/*/README.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `packages/AGENTS.md`, `.agents/skills/**/*.md`, deduped by real path (the `CLAUDE.md` symlinks resolve onto the AGENTS.md files).

# RFC: Core-data-structures catalog and the `ts type-equiv` drift gate
Status: implemented (accepted 2026-06-20)
Status: implemented
<!-- XXX: legacy ADR/RFC body format, not yet normalized to a unified RFC template. -->
## Context
## Problem
A reader trying to understand the harness could find its *behavior* in [architecture.md](../../../architecture.md) (the service map, the session/turn/step lifecycle, the event taxonomy) but had no single place describing its *vocabulary* — the data structures that behavior moves around. The type shapes lived only in source, scattered across `packages/*/src/types.ts`, so understanding "what is a `Message`, a `SessionEvent`, a `StreamChunk`" meant reading the declarations directly. A prose catalog would help, but a catalog that paraphrases or paste-copies type definitions rots the instant a field changes — and an out-of-sync type doc is worse than none, because a reader trusts it.

`verify-type-equiv` catches a *drifted paste* of an already-documented type, but it cannot tell you a brand-new core type went undocumented. So AGENTS.md and the `dsh-code-review` skill were updated to require keeping the catalog in sync when a change adds or reshapes a documented type — the gate handles drift, the human handles new surface.
## Alternatives considered
- **A flat dump of all cross-package vocabulary** — the `BashExecRequest` test case killed it: if seam vocabulary is "core", the catalog helps no one; the tiered spine-vs-seam structure won.
- **A compiled `_Check` assignability assertion** instead of the verbatim source match — rejected because byte-equality, not assignability, is the property we want: a renamed field with the same type would pass assignability.
- **Provenance as directive comments in the prose** — rejected for the central manifest, whose enforced 1:1 correspondence means a block can never be silently unchecked and an entry can never rot.
## Process
The design was driven entirely by a one-question-at-a-time grilling that walked the scoping decision tree through concrete examples (`BashExecRequest`, `ToolSchema`, `ToolDefinition`, the schema DSL, the presentation types, the session/persistence split) before committing to the spine-vs-seam rule — the rule was the *output* of the examples, not an a-priori axiom. The implementation landed as four commits mirroring the structure of the work: the gate (`e97f94b`), the catalog (`7e33c7b`), the maintenance-guard updates (`53e01a0`), and a review-fix commit (`6da7a0f`).

## Context
## Problem
A plugin author needs two reference surfaces that no single document gave them: every cordis **event** they can listen to (with its exact signature and dispatch mode) and every `ctx.<key>` **service** they can call (with its exact interface). The pieces existed but were scattered — a hand-maintained event-taxonomy *table* in `docs/architecture.md` (names + prose Mode/Purpose, name-set-checked by `verify-event-taxonomy`), a Service-map table (8 rows of role prose), and the `interface Events` / `interface Context` declarations themselves.

It mirrors the `gen-module-graph` pattern exactly: `--write` regenerates, `--check` fails if the committed file is stale, output is deterministic (sorted), and the file is a build artifact that is never hand-edited. `verify-cordis-catalog` (the `--check`) runs inside `doc-sync`, so the freshness gate fires in the same lefthook pre-push and CI paths as every other doc gate.

The two axes are separate documents — a reader is either finding what to listen to or what to call, and each page scans and deep-links as its own reference instead of one long combined scroll.

Pure generation is correct here because the codebase is disciplined enough that the AST is the whole truth: every event/service name is a string literal that round-trips to a static declaration — there are no dynamically-named events and no runtime-only services. So a generated doc cannot be wrong, and it closes the undocumented-event gap structurally (generation enumerates source rather than checking a hand-written subset).

The index was one flat list per lifecycle, with no way to scan "show me every simplification" or "every testing-strategy decision."

The canonical class set lives as a `const` in this script — the machine source of truth — and [the index](../../README.md) documents it in prose; the two are kept in sync by hand (the README's completeness is gated, its class *descriptions* are not). This mirrors `verify-event-taxonomy`, which checks a doc table against source.
- **`scripts/verify-doc-refs.ts`** — source comments that cite docs. RFC paths are referenced not only from Markdown but from TypeScript doc comments (root-relative prose like `docs/rfc/implemented/testing/2026-06-19-acp-snapshot-tests.md`). `verify-md-links` never saw those, so the reorg could have silently orphaned them. This gate scans repo-authored `.ts` under `packages/**` and `examples/**` (excluding built `lib/` and `vendor/`) for `docs/….md` tokens, resolves each root-relative, and asserts it exists.

The canonical class set lives as a `const` in `scripts/rfc-index.ts` — the machine source of truth shared with the generator — and [the README](../../README.md) documents it in prose; the class *descriptions* stay hand-written, the index is generated.
- **`scripts/verify-doc-refs.ts`** — source comments that cite docs. RFC paths are referenced not only from Markdown but from TypeScript doc comments (root-relative prose like `docs/rfc/implemented/testing/2026-06-19-acp-snapshot-tests.md`). `verify-md-links` never saw those, so the reorg could have silently orphaned them. This gate scans repo-authored `.ts` under `packages/**` and `examples/**` (excluding built `lib/` and `vendor/`) for `docs/….md` tokens, resolves each root-relative, and asserts it exists. It requires the `.md` extension so extensionless prose (`docs/postmortem/0001`, `docs/architecture.md § Extending The Harness`) is left alone.
### Rejected alternatives
## Alternatives considered
- **A `Classification:` prose line** in each file (next to `Status:`), parsed by the gate. Workable, but it duplicates into the file a fact the path can already carry, and a line can disagree with its folder. Path-encoding makes the label and its storage the same thing — there is nothing to keep in sync.
- **A `refactor` class.** It overlaps `simplification` almost entirely; the only discriminator anyone reached for was "does observable behavior change?", which `simplification` already encodes (it does not). One class, not two.
- **Auto-generating the README index** from the filesystem. Rejected to keep the index hand-written like every other doc here; the completeness gate gives the same drift-protection without generated Markdown in a curated file.
- **Auto-generating the index** from the filesystem. Rejected here to keep the index hand-written; superseded by [generate the RFC index tables](2026-07-04-generate-rfc-index-tables.md) once stacked proposal waves made the hand-written tables the repo's most conflict-prone docs region — the list is now the fully generated [INDEX.md](../../INDEX.md) while the README prose stays curated.
## Consequences
- Every RFC now sits under a class folder, and the index groups by class within each lifecycle. A reader scans one heading to see all simplifications, or all testing decisions.
- Two more fast tsx scripts in the `doc-sync` chain; no new dependency (the mdast/GFM stack was already present for `verify-md-wrap`/`verify-md-links`).
- Adding a class is a deliberate act: amend the `const` in `verify-rfc-classification.ts` and the [Classification section](../../README.md#classification), not just `mkdir` a folder. The gate rejects an unknown folder, so an ad-hoc class can't slip in.

- Source-comment doc references are now gated too — a moved or renamed doc that a `.ts` comment cites fails the pre-push hook, closing a drift class `verify-md-links` structurally could not see.

## Context
## Problem
This repo's README and docs tree are read by people and agents inside and outside the company, in both English and Chinese. Maintaining a second language by hand, with no mechanism, is how translations rot: one side moves on, the other silently lies, and no gate notices. The repo's standing answer to invariants of this kind is to encode them as a mechanical check (see [quality gates](2026-06-11-quality-gates.md) and [doc-sync enforcement](2026-06-11-doc-sync-enforcement.md)), so the bilingual policy ships with one.

# RFC: Generated tool-schema catalog (boot-and-harvest)
Status: implemented (accepted 2026-07-02)
Status: implemented
## Context
## Problem
A reader — a plugin author, a prompt engineer, someone auditing what the agent can do — has no single place that lists the model-facing tools the harness ships. The `name` / `description` / JSON-Schema `parameters` a tool contributes are what the model actually receives (via `ctx.systemPrompt.tools()` off `ctx.tools.schemas()`), but they are scattered across each `defineTool` call in each `packages/*/tool-*` package, buried in string concatenation and runtime spreads. The [cordis events & services catalog](../../../cordis-catalog/events-and-services.md) ([its RFC](2026-06-20-generated-cordis-catalog.md)) documents the *wiring* a plugin works against and the [core-data-structures catalog](../../../core-data-structures/core.md) documents the *vocabulary* those signatures move — but neither documents the *tools* the agent is offered. This RFC adds that third reference surface, `docs/tool-catalog/tools.md`, and a freshness gate so it cannot drift.

Schema blocks use ` ```json `, not a bespoke `ts`-family fence. `doc-typecheck` only extracts `ts*` fences, so a JSON block is invisible to it — no `BlockKind` wiring is needed (unlike the cordis catalog's `ts cordis-catalog` fence, which had to be allowlisted so a bare signature fragment isn't compiled).
## Alternatives considered

# RFC: Documentation graph index for maintainers and SDK users
Status: implemented
## Problem
The repo already had several high-trust documentation surfaces, each on a different axis: [module-graph.md](../../../module-graph.md) is generated from package `peerDependencies`, the generated [Cordis events](../../../cordis-catalog/events.md) and [services](../../../cordis-catalog/services.md) catalogs are generated from Cordis `Events` and `Context` declarations, [tool-catalog.md](../../../tool-catalog.md) is generated by booting shipped tool plugins, and [core-data-structures/](../../../core-data-structures/core.md) uses `ts type-equiv` blocks to keep pasted type definitions synchronized with source.
Those references are accurate, but they are mostly catalogs. A maintainer still has to synthesize the relationships: which packages form a capability seam, which app bundles a concrete spine, which event is durable vs live, where a hook or policy plugin can intercept work, and which model-facing tool depends on which service. An SDK user has the same problem from another angle: "Which package do I install or load for the behavior I want, and which event/service/tool do I extend?"
The hooks subsystem makes event producer/consumer topology and interception points much more important, and the filesystem seam makes capability seams, policy vetoes, tool presentation, and SDK assembly paths much more important — relationship graphs scoped to a small bash/todo/subagent surface would have gone stale immediately.
## Decision
Add generated relationship graph docs, indexed at [docs/graph-atlas.md](../../../graph-atlas.md), produced by focused generators and verified by `pnpm run verify-doc-graphs` / existing catalog freshness checks as part of `doc-sync`.
The index is a relationship layer above the existing catalogs. It does not replace exact references; instead, it links to them and explains how their pieces fit together.
### Maintenance modes
Every graph page declares one maintenance mode:
- **Generated**: all nodes and edges are discovered from source; `--check` fails if the committed artifact is stale.
- **Hybrid generated**: source discovers the inventory, a small manifest classifies irreducible policy, and a completeness guard fails if discovered items are unclassified.
- **Curated**: the diagram explains design intent, temporal order, or ownership; it is emitted by the generator so the graph docs remain a regenerated unit, but the content is deliberately authored.
### First shipped index
The first index links ten relationship surfaces. Package topology and tool-package affordances live in the existing generated catalogs that already own those facts; the remaining focused diagrams are generated by `scripts/gen-doc-graphs.ts`.
| Graph | Maintenance mode | Source of truth |
|---|---|---|
| [module dependency graph](../../../module-graph.md) | generated | `packages/*/*/package.json` peer dependencies plus package group paths |
| [tool schema catalog and package map](../../../tool-catalog.md) | generated | boot-harvested tool schemas plus tool-package service/effect metadata |
| [capability seams and core services](../../../capability-seams.md) | hybrid generated | Cordis service declarations plus a role manifest in `gen-doc-graphs.ts` |
| [echo-agent app composition](../../../../examples/echo-agent/composition.md) | hybrid generated | `examples/echo-agent/cordis.yml` plugin list plus curated app/bundle expansion |
| [coding-agent app composition](../../../../examples/coding-agent/composition.md) | hybrid generated | `examples/coding-agent/cordis.yml` plugin list plus curated app/bundle expansion |
| [acp-agent app composition](../../../../examples/acp-agent/composition.md) | hybrid generated | `examples/acp-agent/cordis.yml` plugin list plus curated app/bundle expansion |
| [event producer/consumer matrix](../../../event-producer-consumer.md) | hybrid generated | Cordis event declarations, AST-scanned `ctx.on/emit/parallel/serial/waterfall` sites, and explicit dynamic dispatch overrides |
| [agent turn and step lifecycle](../../../agent-lifecycle.md) | curated | architecture.md loop lifecycle, Cordis catalog links, and session event semantics |
| [tool execution pipeline](../../../tool-execution-pipeline.md) | curated | tool pipeline semantics and the `tools/execute` waterfall |
| [ACP snapshot replay](../../../../packages/ui/acp/snapshot-replay.md) | curated | snapshot harness behavior |
### Why generators own the docs
Package topology stays in `gen-module-graph.ts`, and tool-package affordances stay in `gen-tool-catalog.ts`, because those generators already own the canonical facts and freshness gates. `gen-doc-graphs.ts` owns the remaining relationship pages and the index. The tradeoff is that curated diagrams are edited in TypeScript string blocks rather than directly in Markdown. That is acceptable for this first cut because the user-facing artifact is still plain Markdown/Mermaid, and a future change can split the curated pages out if authorship ergonomics matter more than regeneration.
### Completeness guards
The hybrid pages must fail loud when their manifests are stale:
- The module graph reads every package's `peerDependencies` and groups each package by its `packages/<group>/<pkg>` path.
- The tool catalog boot-harvests shipped tools and renders the package/service/effect map from the same manifest that its completeness guard already checks.
- The capability seam graph imports the Cordis service collector and asserts every discovered harness `ctx.<key>` is classified in `SERVICE_ROLES`, and every classified key still exists.
- The event producer/consumer matrix labels itself hybrid because subagent lifecycle events deliberately use `ctx.events.dispatch` for per-listener containment; those dynamic edges are explicit overrides rather than invisible omissions.
- `verify-mermaid` parses every repo-authored ` ```mermaid ` fence with Mermaid's own parser, so syntax errors fail `doc-sync` locally and in CI instead of showing up as broken GitHub-rendered diagrams.
## Alternatives considered
Committed diagrams use Mermaid because GitHub renders it in Markdown and it adds no new docs build dependency; dense many-to-many data such as event producer/consumer relationships uses Markdown tables instead. **PlantUML, hosted diagram services, and generated SVGs** were considered and deliberately not adopted until Mermaid becomes the limiting factor.
## Consequences
- Maintainers get visual entry points for topology, seams, event flow, lifecycle, app composition, and snapshot behavior.
- SDK users get a path from use case to package composition instead of only bottom-up package references.
- `doc-sync` now includes `verify-doc-graphs` and `verify-mermaid`, so graph drift and Mermaid syntax errors are caught with the other doc freshness gates.
- Future fs and hooks work has a concrete place to land new complexity: fs should expand the capability docs and tool catalog, while hooks should expand the event matrix and tool execution pipeline.

# RFC: JSDoc completeness gate for the cordis surface
Status: implemented (accepted 2026-07-04)
Status: implemented
## Context
## Problem
The [generated cordis catalog](2026-06-20-generated-cordis-catalog.md) already walks every harness `interface Events` member and every `ctx.<key>` service class with the TypeScript compiler API, and already hard-errors on a missing `@mode` tag — a forcing function that made dispatch modes impossible to leave undocumented. Nothing equivalent guarded the rest of the JSDoc: a service method could ship with no doc at all, and no event or method documented its parameters or return value individually. A survey at adoption found 5 public service methods with no JSDoc and roughly 139 missing `@param`/`@returns` entries across 15 files — on the product API spine (`ctx.bash`, `ctx.fs`, `ctx.sessions`, …) and the cross-plugin event payload contracts, exactly the surface where "what does this argument mean" is the question a plugin author asks the IDE.
@@ -20,10 +20,16 @@ The contract:
- **Explicitness the walk can check**: the gate is a pure-AST pass (no type checker), so a service method must annotate its return type (an inferred return cannot be classified) and surface parameters must be simple identifiers (a binding pattern has no name for `@param` to match).
- **Violations aggregate** into one error listing every offender — a remediation pass sees the whole list at once. The previously fail-fast `@mode` checks moved into the same aggregated report, with their message texts unchanged.
The tags are **enforcement-only**: `parseJsDoc` now ends description prose at the first block tag (standard JSDoc semantics, which also stops multi-line tag descriptions from leaking into the catalog as prose), so `@param`/`@returns` never change the rendered catalog. Rendering them — restructuring the services section into per-method entries — was considered and deliberately deferred: source JSDoc plus IDE hover is where method docs are consumed, and the catalog stays an index. No escape-hatch tag exists; the surface is small and curated (12 services, 57 methods, 27 events at adoption), and the point is that the check cannot be waved off.

## Alternatives considered
- **An ESLint rule** — cannot see the scope's machine definition (which `interface Events` members and which `ctx.<key>` classes are the cordis surface); the catalog generator computes exactly that mapping on every run, so the gate lives there.

- A new event or service method cannot land with an undocumented parameter or result: the generator refuses to regenerate and `verify-cordis-catalog` fails pre-push and in CI. The ~139 gaps found at adoption were filled in the same change, so the gate landed green.

# RFC: Generate the RFC index tables
Status: implemented
## Problem
The RFC index's per-lifecycle/per-class tables list facts that are fully derivable: an RFC's path encodes lifecycle and class, its filename encodes the first-proposed date, and its H1 carries the title. A hand-maintained copy of those facts is also the repo's highest-contention docs hotspot: every proposal wave appends rows to the same few lines, so concurrent RFC branches conflict precisely there while agreeing everywhere else, and each conflict is resolved by hand-merging rows whose content the filesystem already knows. [The classification RFC](2026-06-20-rfc-classification.md) originally kept the index hand-written for curation's sake — but the curated part of the README is the prose, and the prose never conflicts; only the mechanical tables do.
## Decision
Keep the curated prose; generate the list. The tables live in [`docs/rfc/INDEX.md`](../../INDEX.md), a **fully generated file** — the curated prose stays in README.md, which carries no index rows at all. [`scripts/rfc-index.ts`](../../../../scripts/rfc-index.ts) is the shared source of truth — the tree walker (owning the closed lifecycle/class sets and the structure rules, including a parseable-H1 requirement) and the renderer (rows from H1 title with any `RFC: ` prefix stripped, plus the filename date, sorted by date then filename, grouped as `### {Class}` sections in canonical class order). Two thin consumers share it:
- [`scripts/gen-rfc-index.ts`](../../../../scripts/gen-rfc-index.ts) (`pnpm run gen-rfc-index`) rewrites INDEX.md in full from the tree.
- [`scripts/verify-rfc-classification.ts`](../../../../scripts/verify-rfc-classification.ts) (a `doc-sync` member) checks structure, asserts the committed INDEX.md byte-matches a fresh render — the `gen-cordis-catalog`/`verify-cordis-catalog` pattern — and rejects an index-shaped row in the curated README. Freshness subsumes the index-completeness check: a generated-from-disk table is definitionally complete and correctly headed.
Adding, moving, or deleting an RFC means editing only the RFC file and running the generator; the classification RFC's rejected-alternatives record carries the supersession cross-link.
## Alternatives considered
### Why not marker-delimited regions inside README.md?
The first landed shape: the generator spliced the tables into README.md between `gen-rfc-index` marker comments, under each `## {Lifecycle}` heading. Superseded by the whole-file INDEX.md once the README also absorbed the in-file format contract ([the uniform-format RFC](2026-07-05-uniform-rfc-format.md)): a front-door README hosting hundreds of generated rows dwarfed its curated prose, and splice mechanics (marker pairs, heading checks, outside-region row detection) exist only to protect curated text that a dedicated generated file simply doesn't contain.
### Why not the verifier-only model?
It catches mistakes but still makes every proposal edit a shared hotspot in a hand-maintained table, and a failed verifier is strictly more annoying than a generator for a purely mechanical row: the author has already named and placed the file; the index copy adds no information. This is the same hand-list-versus-derivation judgment the [package-inventory proposal](../../proposed/process/2026-06-20-discover-package-inventory.md) applies to tsconfig references and knip stanzas — applied to the one list that demonstrably conflicts.
## Consequences
- The generated file is explicit: its banner names the generator, there is no curated region to protect inside it, and the generator refuses to run on a structurally invalid tree.
- A malformed or missing H1 is a hard error in both the generator and the gate — the H1 is now load-bearing as the index title source.
- Concurrent RFC branches resolve index conflicts by rerunning the generator, never by hand-merging rows.

# RFC: Generated persistence log event catalog
Status: implemented
## Problem
The session event log is the harness's on-disk contract: every `SessionEventMap` member is a record a persistence backend writes verbatim and a replay reconstructs from, and adding one that breaks the durability rules is a breaking change to the on-disk format. Yet the vocabulary had no single reference. The declarations are split across three files — the owning interface in `@deepseek-ai/dsh-session` plus declaration merges in `@deepseek-ai/dsh-compact` and `@deepseek-ai/dsh-hook-protocol` — and the doc surfaces covered it with hand-copies: a `hook/*` payload table in [session.md](../../../core-data-structures/session.md), a `compact/*` payload table in the compact README, payload bullets in the hook-protocol README, and a name-list in the session README. The name-list's merge note had already drifted (it named the compaction merge and omitted the hook merge entirely), and nothing could catch the next merge going undocumented: a hand-copy only checks the names someone already wrote down. This is the same gap the [cordis catalog](2026-06-20-generated-cordis-catalog.md) closed for bus events and the [tool catalog](2026-07-02-tool-schema-catalog.md) closed for model-facing tools — and log events are covered by neither: a `SessionEventMap` member is not a cordis `Events` declaration (it reaches listeners via the single `session/event` emit), so it has no cordis-catalog row by design.
## Decision
Generate `docs/persistence-catalog.md` from source, with a freshness gate, as the fourth reference surface: the *records* a persisted session log can contain, complementing the cordis catalog (wiring), core-data-structures (vocabulary), and the tool catalog (tools).
`scripts/gen-persistence-catalog.ts` is a pure TypeScript-AST pass, like `gen-cordis-catalog.ts` — log events ARE statically knowable: every member is a string-literal-named property with a static type annotation, so the AST is the whole truth. The walk collects every `interface SessionEventMap` declaration under `packages/*/*/src` — the owning top-level interface and every `declare module '@deepseek-ai/dsh-session'` merge — so a brand-new event, core or merged, appears in the next regenerate and an un-regenerated file fails `--check` (`verify-persistence-catalog`, a `doc-sync` member, so pre-push and CI both run it). Each entry renders the member's JSDoc prose, its payload (printed through the TypeScript printer, so a newline-separated multi-line type literal still yields a valid one-line fragment), a surface badge, cross-links into core-data-structures, and the declaration's source pointer, grouped by scope.
Specific choices:
- **JSDoc completeness, enforced.** Every member must carry description prose — the JSDoc becomes the catalog entry, the same forcing function the cordis catalog applies to bus events. An `@mode` tag on a member is a hard error: dispatch modes belong to cordis bus events, and a log event has none — the tag would misread as "this fires on the bus with mode X". Violations aggregate into one error listing every offender.
- **The surface badge is derived, not hand-listed.** `SurfaceEventType` — the subset that produces LLM messages and may carry `surfaceOp` — is parsed from its union declaration in the owning package; a union member naming no declared event is a hard error (a stale union member would otherwise silently badge nothing). Everything else renders **log-only**.
- **A dedicated fence.** Payload blocks use a ` ```ts persistence-catalog ` info string that `doc-typecheck` recognizes and skips, excluded from the opt-out ratio — the same treatment as `ts cordis-catalog` (a bare payload fragment is not standalone-compilable).
- **Repo scope.** The catalog enumerates the packages in this repo, matching the siblings' packages-only scope; a downstream plugin can merge further event types, which are outside the catalog by construction. The walk defends its own assumptions with hard errors: the owning top-level `interface SessionEventMap` must be the single exported declaration in `@deepseek-ai/dsh-session` (an unrelated, local, or duplicate same-named interface cannot be catalogued as the on-disk vocabulary), no declaration may carry `extends` (inherited keys would join `keyof SessionEventMap` without a catalog row), every member must be a property signature with an explicit payload type (a method-form member would join `keyof` yet slip past a silent walk), and a duplicate member across declarations fails.
This supersedes the hand-copies: the session.md `hook/*` table, the compact README's event table, the hook-protocol README's payload bullets, and the session README's name-list now link the catalog instead of restating payloads (the surrounding semantics prose stays where it was). The two stray `@mode emit` tags on the hook-protocol merge members are removed — the new gate rejects them as the category error they were.
## Alternatives considered
- **A boot-based generator, like the tool catalog's** — the log vocabulary is fully static, so the AST pass reads the whole truth without booting anything.
- **Keeping the hand-copies** — a hand-copy only checks the names someone already wrote down; the session README's merge note had already drifted when the catalog landed.
## Consequences
- The catalog cannot drift: a vocabulary change the committed file doesn't reflect fails `verify-persistence-catalog` in the pre-push hook and CI, and a new merged event with no JSDoc fails the generator outright — a plugin can no longer add an undocumented on-disk record type.
- Event prose has a single home, the JSDoc at the declaration; thin JSDoc yields a thin catalog entry, pressuring authors to document at the source.
- The `SurfaceEventType` union is now structurally load-bearing for docs: renaming an event without updating the union (or vice versa) fails the generator, not just the compiler.
- The badge derivation assumes the union stays a closed set of string literals with exactly one owner; a refactor away from that shape must update the generator in the same change.

The corpus the format decision faced had two H1 spellings; some twenty-seven `Status:` line spellings once free-text rejection reasons are collapsed — bare enums, dated parentheticals duplicating what the filename and git already carry — plus three English files (and the zh counterpart of one of them) with no status at all; two body genres side by side (ADR-style `Context`/`Decision`/`Consequences` beside proposal-style `Problem`/`Proposal`/`Risks`), so every new RFC guessed its shape from whichever neighbor its author opened; thirty-nine files carrying a debt comment that flagged them as "legacy ADR/RFC body format" awaiting a unified template that was never actually defined; and nineteen implemented RFCs still carrying thirty occurrences of the proposal-era headings (`Acceptance criteria`, `Plan`, `Migration plan`, `Proposal`) that the [documentation standard's slop checklist](../../../AGENTS.md) outlaws for `implemented/` — outlawed, but enforced by nothing, so the `proposed/``implemented/` move could silently skip the rewrite [implemented/AGENTS.md](../AGENTS.md) requires.
## Decision
[README.md § The file format](../../README.md#the-file-format) is the in-file contract — the header block (`# RFC: <title>` plus a dateless, folder-agreeing `Status:` enum whose only content is the rejection reason), the per-lifecycle body skeleton (`Problem` opener everywhere; `Proposal`/`Acceptance criteria`/`Risks` in `proposed/`; present-tense `Decision`/`Consequences` with proposal-era headings banned in `implemented/`; frozen proposal shape in `rejected/`), a mandatory `Alternatives considered` section, and the canonical section vocabulary between which bespoke technical sections stay free-form. `pnpm run verify-rfc-format` ([scripts/verify-rfc-format.ts](../../../../scripts/verify-rfc-format.ts)) enforces every mechanical clause as part of `doc-sync`, so a lifecycle move that skips its rewrite now fails CI instead of review memory.
The whole corpus was normalized in the same change that defined the format — the pre-release stance: no transition period, no dual-format tolerance. The one grandfather is content, not format: alternatives are recorded, never invented, so a pre-format RFC whose alternatives are not reconstructible from the record carries the exact `rfc-format: alternatives-not-recorded` comment, which the gate accepts only for files dated before this RFC.
## Alternatives considered
- **A full rigid template** (one fixed section sequence per lifecycle, every RFC restructured to fit) — rejected: the big design RFCs carry eight to fifteen bespoke technical sections (package topology, wire contracts, schemas) that are load-bearing content, not drift; a rigid sequence would force destructive rewrites now and template-fighting forever.
- **Header-only normalization** (H1 and Status, bodies untouched) — rejected: the debt markers flagged the *body* genre split, and leaving `Context`/`Decision` beside `Problem`/`Proposal` indefinitely resolves nothing.
- **No Status line** (the folder already is the status; the three newest pre-format RFCs (and the zh counterpart of one) omitted the line) — rejected in favor of keeping a self-describing file: the drift risk that motivated dropping it is neutralized by gating the line against the folder instead.
- **Dated status** (`Status: implemented (accepted YYYY-MM-DD)`) — rejected: the acceptance date is narrated history the writing rules keep out of docs; the filename carries first-proposed, git carries the rest, and the gate could check a date's format but never its truth.
- **A bare `# <title>` H1** — rejected: the `RFC: ` prefix is the corpus-majority form and self-describes the genre when a file is read outside its tree; the index generator strips it, so index rows are identical either way.
- **`## What we give up` as the implemented closer** (the README's own phrase for what an RFC records) — rejected: it names only costs, and an honest consequences section records what the trade-off bought as well.
- **Convention without a gate** (write the contract down, enforce by review) — rejected: the slop checklist already outlawed spec-speak in `implemented/` by convention, and nineteen files show what convention alone achieves here.
- **A standalone `FORMAT.md` contract file** — the first landed home; folded into README.md once the generated index moved out to [INDEX.md](../../INDEX.md): with the tables gone the README regained the room, and one front door carrying layout, classification, and format beats splitting the contract across two files.
## Consequences
Every RFC now costs slightly more structure, and the mandatory `Alternatives considered` section is deliberate friction: a decision recorded without what it beat invites the re-litigation RFCs exist to prevent. Pre-format RFCs whose alternatives were not reconstructible carry the grandfather comment permanently — an honest gap on the record rather than fabricated rationale. `doc-sync` gains one gate, and moving an RFC between lifecycle folders is now real work at move time (the body rewrite the move always owed) instead of deferred cleanup nothing tracked. The thirty-nine debt markers are gone, resolved by the template they were waiting for.

# RFC: Export-surface JSDoc gate
Status: implemented
## Problem
The [cordis JSDoc completeness gate](2026-07-04-cordis-jsdoc-completeness-gate.md) made undocumented parameters and results impossible on the cordis surface — `interface Events` members and `ctx.<key>` service classes — but that surface is a fraction of what a plugin author imports. The AGENTS.md rule "every export (and non-obvious method) has a JSDoc explaining semantics" stayed prose-checkable only by review everywhere else, and nothing at all asked for `@param`/`@returns` on ordinary exported functions. A survey at adoption found 203 under-documented module-level exports across 34 packages: seam-adjacent helpers (`runBash`, `readForEdit`, `htmlToMarkdown`), format codecs, whole undocumented interfaces and type aliases — exactly the names an IDE consumer hovers.
## Decision
A new gate, `scripts/verify-export-jsdoc.ts` (`pnpm run verify-export-jsdoc`, wired into `doc-sync` beside `verify-cordis-catalog`), walks every module-level exported name under each `packages/<group>/<pkg>/src/` tree. The parsing and check helpers moved from `gen-cordis-catalog.ts` into a shared `scripts/jsdoc.ts`, so "documented" means the same thing on both surfaces: description prose ends at the first block tag, every checkable parameter needs a non-empty `@param`, a non-void ANNOTATED return needs a non-empty `@returns`, a stale `@param` errors, and violations aggregate into one report.
The contract by declaration kind:
- Every exported name needs JSDoc with non-empty description prose.
- Function-like exports (function declarations; consts with function initializers or an INLINE callable annotation; non-identifier function default exports) follow the full function contract, with wrapper expressions (parentheses, `as`/`satisfies` casts, non-null assertions) peeled before classifying. A const whose declarator is annotated with a NAMED type (`export const f: Handler = …`) defers the signature contract to that type's own declaration and `@returns` stays optional; an inline `(x: T) => U` annotation or single-call-signature literal is the surface signature itself and gets the full contract, and a literal mixing call/construct signatures with anything else is refused outright (no single signature to hold the tags against — extract a named type).
- Exported classes need class-level prose; public methods (statics included — reachable on the exported name) follow the function contract; public properties and accessors need prose (a get/set pair is covered by the getter). Overload implementations are exempt — the signatures carry the docs.
- Exported interfaces, type aliases, and enums need prose on the declaration; member-level enforcement is deliberately deferred (the highest-value member surface — seam service classes — is already under the cordis gate).
- Exported namespaces recurse (inside an ambient `declare` namespace every member exports implicitly); the namespace itself needs prose only when it does not merge with a documented same-name declaration (the Config-namespace idiom documents the plugin once).
- `declare module` / `declare global` bodies and `export … from` re-export statements are skipped: an augmentation is not an export of the package, and a re-exported definition is checked where it is defined. An `export import X = N.member` alias documents ITSELF — its target may be a non-exported namespace member no walk visits — and only prose-only target kinds are gate-supported: a callable, class, or namespace target carries signature/member contracts the alias prose cannot hold, so the gate refuses it and demands the declaration be exported directly.
- Everything else fails CLOSED: `export =` is refused outright, parameters the base never names keep their `@param` duty even as binding patterns, and an exported statement kind the dispatch does not recognize is itself a violation — no export form can pass unchecked by omission.
Three exemption families keep the gate from demanding boilerplate, in the spirit of the cordis gate's `this`/`next` exemptions (documenting an exempt name anyway is allowed; only absence goes unchecked):
- **Heritage members.** A class member whose name exists on an `extends`/`implements` heritage type is exempt: the seam declaration is the doc's one home, and the IDE inherits it on hover — re-documenting every `LocalBashExecutor.run` invites drift. The exemption stops where the override grows surface the base never documented: a protected-only base member does not exempt a public override, parameters the base never names keep their `@param` duty (an underscore-prefixed rename of a base parameter — the deliberately-unused marker — is the same parameter), and a concrete result above a void base return keeps its `@returns` duty (an unannotated override's inferred return is classified by the checker, so a faithful void override needs no boilerplate annotation). Heritage lookups and that one return classification are the walk's only TYPE CHECKER questions (heritage types live across package boundaries, resolved through the repo `paths` map); everything else stays pure AST, and the annotated-return requirement is kept for symmetry with the cordis gate (it bound nothing at adoption — every exported function was already annotated).
- **Plugin-protocol slots.** Top-level `name` / `inject` / `reusable` / `Config` consts and the `apply` entry, plus the same slots as statics on a plugin class, are framework protocol: their shape is fixed by cordis, and the module doc comment plus the `interface Config` carry the plugin's real semantics.
- **Constructors**, mirroring the cordis gate: plugin classes are framework-constructed, and the class doc owns the story.
`collectExportJsdocViolations()` returns the violation list (the CLI exits 1 on non-empty) so the negative-path tests in `packages/core/agent/tests/verify-export-jsdoc.spec.ts` assert on findings directly, driving fixture packages through every rejection and every exemption.
## Alternatives considered
- **eslint-plugin-jsdoc** (`require-jsdoc`/`require-param`/`require-returns`) — covers the mechanical core but cannot express the repo's contract: the heritage-member exemption needs cross-package type resolution, the protocol-slot and namespace-merge idioms are cordis-specific, and the completeness semantics (prose-above-tags, stale-tag errors, aggregate reporting) already have one home in `scripts/jsdoc.ts` shared with the catalog generator. Two subtly different definitions of "documented" is the failure mode this repo's one-home rule exists to prevent.
- **Extending `gen-cordis-catalog.ts`** — the catalog generator renders a curated surface and gates its freshness; a repo-wide walk has no catalog to render. Sharing the helpers while keeping the walks separate keeps each gate's scope legible.
- **Enforcing interface/type-alias member docs** — deferred: it would multiply the checked surface for members that are largely self-describing fields, while the seam classes carrying the load-bearing member contracts are already gated. Revisit if member-doc drift shows up in review.
## Consequences
- A new export cannot land undocumented: `verify-export-jsdoc` fails `doc-sync`, which pre-push and CI already run. The 203 gaps found at adoption were filled in the same change, so the gate landed green.
- Exported functions must annotate return types (universal at adoption, now load-bearing) and use identifier parameters where `@param` must name them.
- Seam docs are canonical: an implementation inherits its heritage docs, and behavior notes worth keeping on the implementation are additions, not requirements.
- The gate builds a `ts.Program` (~6s) — the one doc gate that pays for type resolution; acceptable inside `doc-sync`, which already compiles doc snippets.
- The protocol-slot names are reserved by convention at module top level; a non-protocol export coincidentally named `apply` or `Config` would go unchecked — accepted, documented here.

# RFC: Generated plugin config catalog
Status: implemented
## Problem
The config surface — the exact set of fields a `cordis.yml` entry's `config:` block can set for each plugin, with types, defaults, and semantics — had no reference page. A deployment author assembling a config tree had to open every plugin's source (or trust its README) to learn what is settable. The per-package README `## Config` sections cover parts of it by hand, in formats that diverged package-by-package (a key/default table here, an annotated YAML snippet there) and with no gate tying them to source. Nothing enumerated which packages are loadable at all — plugin vs abstract seam vs plain library — and nothing verified that the runtime schemastery schema and the documented `Config` interface agree, so a schema-validated field could exist with no documentation anywhere.
## Decision
Generate the catalog from source: `scripts/gen-config-catalog.ts` emits [docs/config-catalog.md](../../../config-catalog.md), one section per configurable package containing the VERBATIM config declaration — the `export interface Config` (or equivalently named type) with its JSDoc, pasted as-is in a ` ```ts config-catalog ` fence — plus a `Requires:` line (the plugin's `inject`), a `Depends on:` line resolving every type name the paste references, and a source pointer. The paste is the plugin's full declared config type: a field the runtime schema deliberately excludes is a runtime-only seam, marked as such by its own JSDoc, not a `cordis.yml`-settable knob. Package-local referenced types are pasted transitively into the same fence; another plugin's config type links to that plugin's section; names in the cordis catalog's shared `LINK_MAP` link to core-data-structures; any other workspace type links to its source; an external type is named with its module. It mirrors the `gen-cordis-catalog` pattern exactly: `--write` regenerates, `--check` (`verify-config-catalog`, inside `doc-sync`) fails if the committed file is stale, output is deterministic, the file is a build artifact never hand-edited.
Pure AST generation is correct here for the same reason it is for the events/services catalog and NOT for the tool catalog: a config type is a static declaration and every schemastery schema in the repo is a static `z.object`/`z.intersect` literal, so the source is the whole truth — nothing about the config surface is runtime-composed.
Specific choices:
- **The config type is the second-parameter type.** What the catalog documents is the declared type of `apply(ctx, config)` / the service constructor's `(ctx, config)` — the value cordis actually passes — not a `Config` export located by naming convention. This is what makes the walk total: it works for interfaces named `AcpConfig` or `BasicCompactConfig`, for types declared in a sibling file, and for plugins with no validating schema at all.
- **Classification is total.** Every `packages/<group>/<pkg>` entry resolves, mirroring the Loader's `unwrapExports` (`exports.default ?? exports`), to a configurable plugin, a config-free plugin, an abstract seam class, or a library — each rendered in its own section — and an unclassifiable entry hard-errors. A new package cannot be silently undocumented.
- **Per-field JSDoc is enforced.** Every property of a pasted declaration (nested type literals included) needs non-empty JSDoc prose, or generation fails. The paste IS the documentation, so this is the same forcing function the events catalog applies via `@mode`: thin source docs fail the gate rather than yielding a thin catalog.
- **The schema is cross-checked, one-directionally, nested keys included.** When a plugin declares a schemastery schema (`export const Config` / `static Config`), the generator walks it statically — object-literal keys and their nested object/array compositions as key paths (`agents[].id`), chained refinements, and `z.intersect` composition across workspace packages — and every schema-validated key path must be locatable on the declared config type, resolving package-local and workspace-imported types (re-export chains included), intersections, unions, utility wrappers, and indexed access. So the paste cannot hide a loader-accepted field, top-level or nested. The check is presence-only and fails loud only on a definite miss: a path crossing a type the walk cannot enumerate (an external package's type) is skipped rather than mis-reported, and dynamic-key shapes (`z.dict`) or union alternatives contribute no nested paths. The reverse direction is deliberately unchecked: a declared field may be a runtime-only seam the schema excludes (the ACP bridge's test-injected `stream`).
- **A dedicated fence.** Pasted declarations use a ` ```ts config-catalog ` info string that `doc-typecheck` skips (a lone declaration referencing imported types is not standalone-compilable), excluded from the opt-out ratio — the same treatment the `cordis-catalog` and `persistence-catalog` fences get.
- **A single file at `docs/config-catalog.md`**, not a one-file directory: the page serves one audience (the `cordis.yml` author) with one axis, unlike `cordis-catalog/`, which holds two sibling pages.
The package README `## Config` sections stay. The overlap is accepted deliberately: the README is the curated per-package contract (config semantics in deployment context, alongside limitations and extension points), the catalog is the exhaustive generated enumeration. Because the catalog is generated, a disagreement between the two indicts the README, and the fix is a README edit — the catalog cannot drift.
## Alternatives considered
- **Synthesized per-field rendering** — a bullet list, table, or annotated-YAML snippet per field, assembled from parsed JSDoc plus schema metadata. Rejected for the verbatim paste: the interface with its JSDoc is already the authored contract in its authored form, and a synthesizing renderer re-formats prose it does not own, adding a rendering layer that can misrepresent it.
- **Runtime boot + schema introspection, as the tool catalog does** — rejected: nothing here is runtime-composed, and the schema alone under-documents the surface (prose-documented defaults, runtime-only fields, plugins with no schema at all). Booting would add fragility without adding truth.
- **Two-directional schema/interface equality** — rejected for the subset check: the declared type legitimately carries members the schema refuses to accept from config (runtime-only seams).
- **Retiring the README `## Config` sections in the same change** — rejected: the accepted duplication keeps the per-package contract readable in place, and a sweep would have to fold each README's extra facts into field JSDoc first — separable work the catalog does not depend on.
## Consequences
- The catalog cannot drift: a source change the committed file does not reflect fails `verify-config-catalog` in pre-push and CI. An undocumented config field, an unresolvable referenced type name, or a schema key missing from the config type fails the generator outright.
- Config prose now has a forcing function at the declaration: writing a new config field means writing its JSDoc, which becomes the catalog entry verbatim.
- The generator hard-errors on shapes it cannot walk statically — an aliased package-local config import, a schema built by anything other than `object`/`intersect` composition, an unlisted global type name. Introducing such a shape includes teaching the generator (or the shape stays out of the repo), which is the point: the catalog stays the whole truth.
- `gen-cordis-catalog.ts` exports its JSDoc/pointer helpers and `LINK_MAP` for reuse, so the two catalogs cross-link types identically and a link-map addition serves both.

# RFC: Raise the Node LTS engine floor to 22.19
Status: implemented
## Problem
The Node 22 branch of the root `engines.node` range is a contract for the installed workspace, not only for the runtime APIs the harness source calls directly. It must be no lower than package `engines.node` declarations for dependencies the workspace installs on that branch; otherwise `pnpm install --engine-strict` fails at an advertised LTS version, and non-strict installs run outside a dependency's supported runtime.
## Decision
Set `engines.node` to `^22.19.0 || >=24.0.0` and test the keyless CI compatibility matrix on `['22.19', 24, 26]`. The real-API e2e workflow stays on Node 24 because it exercises API integration rather than the runtime floor.
Two Node features gate the source runtime:
- **`node:sqlite`** — `packages/session-persistence/session-persistence-sqlite` does a top-level `import { DatabaseSync } from 'node:sqlite'`. The module dropped its `--experimental-sqlite` flag requirement at **22.13** (LTS) and **23.4** (Current); before those, importing it throws at load.
- **Native TypeScript type-stripping** — the `packages/ui/stdio-agent/tests/built-bin.e2e.ts` smoke boots the published `lib/bin.js` under plain `node` (no tsx) and loads the example's `.ts` plugins (`mock-llm.ts`, `echo-tool.ts`). Type-stripping is the default from **22.18** (LTS) and **23.6** (Current); before those it needs `--experimental-strip-types`.
Those source features clear on the 22.x line at **22.18**, but the installed Pi adapter dependency raises the advertised LTS floor. `@deepseek-ai/dsh-llm-pi-ai` depends on `@earendil-works/pi-ai@0.79.3`, whose package declares `engines.node >=22.19.0`, so the LTS floor is **22.19**. The 24.x branch remains `>=24.0.0`. The disjoint range excludes Node 23 entirely: Node 23.023.5 still has at least one flagged source feature, and the 23 line is non-LTS/EOL, so advertising `>=23.6` would add a dead release line and a CI leg no deployment should use.
`@types/node` remains pinned to the 22.x line (`^22.20.0`) to match the LTS support line: reaching for a Node 23+/24+/25+ API fails `tsc` on every machine and in the typecheck gate, rather than compiling clean and surviving to a runtime failure only a floor matrix leg could catch. The whole tree typechecks clean against the Node 22 type surface today, so the pin costs nothing.
## Consequences
- The advertised LTS branch no longer undercuts the Pi adapter dependency floor.
- CI proves the Node 22 LTS floor directly with Node 22.19, keeps the Node 24 branch on `node: 24`, and keeps Node 26 for the next even line.
- The built-bin smoke needs no version-conditional flag: at 22.19 type-stripping is already the default, so the test stays the plain `node lib/bin.js` path it documents.
- A future dependency or source API that raises the runtime floor must move `engines.node`, the compatibility matrix, and this RFC in the same change.
## Alternatives considered
- **Keep `^22.18.0 || >=24.0.0`.** Rejected: it advertises an LTS version lower than the Pi adapter dependency floor. `@earendil-works/pi-ai@0.79.3` requires `>=22.19.0`.
- **Downgrade or pin `@earendil-works/pi-ai` to preserve the 22.18 advertised range.** Rejected: the current Pi adapter dependency is part of the intended workspace, and 22.19 is still inside the Node 22 LTS line.
- **Floor `>=22.13` (the `node:sqlite` boundary) plus `--experimental-strip-types` in the built-bin smoke on 22.1322.17.** Rejected: it adds a version-conditional test flag for one narrow range and dresses up an experimental-flag dependency as first-class support. The Pi adapter dependency already requires a higher LTS floor.
- **Open-ended `>=22.19`.** Rejected: it advertises support for Node 23.023.5, where `node:sqlite` (until 23.4) or type-stripping (until 23.6) is still flagged.
- **Include Node 23.6+ (`^22.19.0 || >=23.6.0`).** Rejected: 23.6+ does run both source features unflagged, but Node 23 is end-of-life; advertising a dead release line adds a range term and a CI leg for a runtime no deployment should use.
- **Matrix `[22, 24, 26]` instead of pinning `22.19`.** Rejected: floating major-version entries drift upward over time and silently stop exercising the declared LTS floor.
- **Keep `@types/node` ahead of the floor (`^25`).** Rejected: types ahead of the runtime floor let a Node 24/25-only API compile clean and fail only at runtime on 22.x. Pinning `@types/node` to the 22.x line turns that into a compile error everywhere.

# RFC: Parallel GitHub CI gates
Status: implemented
## Problem
The keyless GitHub CI gates are mostly orthogonal: typecheck, lint, documentation freshness, coverage, snapshot replay, build, package-publication hygiene, demo smoke, and built-bin smoke fail for different reasons and do not need each other's runtime state. Running them as one ordered command chain makes the workflow wall clock equal the sum of those gates, while splitting every leaf gate into its own GitHub job repeats checkout, Node setup, pnpm restore, and install work until orchestration overhead becomes the bottleneck.
The hard part is the artifact boundary. `publint`, `verify-node-next-types`, and built-bin smoke tests need the built `lib/` outputs, while most gates only need source and dependencies. A blind fan-out either races those artifact consumers before `pnpm run build` has emitted declarations and bundles, or repeats the build in every artifact-dependent job.
## Decision
[CI](../../../../.github/workflows/ci.yml) keeps the keyless workflow to a few broad jobs instead of one job per gate. The Node 24 matrix has five lanes: static gates (`pnpm run check:ci:static`), lint (`pnpm run check:ci:lint`), coverage (`pnpm run check:ci:coverage`), snapshot replay (`pnpm run check:ci:snapshot`), and artifact gates (`pnpm run check:ci:artifacts`). The Node 26 compatibility job installs once and runs `pnpm run check:node-compat`.
Each lane delegates to [scripts/run-gates.ts](../../../../scripts/run-gates.ts), an in-process scheduler with bounded concurrency (`DSH_GATE_CONCURRENCY`). The static lane fans out constraints, the echo-agent demo smoke, `doc-sync` leaf gates, module-graph freshness, and `knip`; the lint lane runs ESLint with its own Node heap cap and a content-strategy ESLint cache; the coverage lane runs Vitest coverage with bounded file workers (`DSH_COVERAGE_MAX_WORKERS`); the snapshot lane isolates replay; the artifact lane builds once and then fans out the artifact consumers; the Node 26 compatibility job owns the TypeScript typecheck. The scheduler buffers each gate's output and prints a named result block with duration, so independent failures stay attributable inside each broad job log.
Generated `.sessions/` logs and `.doc-typecheck-*` temp directories are ignored by lint. The aggregate local CI mode still runs demo smoke after lint, while the split GitHub static lane can run demo smoke directly because lint is isolated in its own lane.
Build output is produced once inside the Node 24 artifact lane. The artifact consumers (`publint`, `verify-node-next-types`, and built-bin smoke) declare a dependency on `build`, so there is no upload/download handoff and no consumer can race ahead of declarations or bundles. The CI coverage reporter is text-only while local coverage keeps the HTML report.
Both CI workflows cache the pnpm store after enabling Corepack. The real-API e2e workflow also uses the shared `vitest.e2e.config.ts` bounded file pool (`DSH_E2E_MAX_WORKERS=14` in CI), so its speedup comes from dependency-cache reuse plus lower-level test-file fan-out instead of a separate GitHub job split.
## Alternatives considered
- **Keep the full serial chain in a Node matrix** - simplest to reason about, but it duplicates repo-wide gates that do not produce Node-version-specific signal and leaves every PR waiting for the sum of all gates.
- **Run every gate as a separate GitHub job** - maximizes GitHub-visible fan-out, but it creates too many checks and pays repeated setup/install overhead for gates whose runtime is shorter than the runner preparation.
- **Upload build artifacts to artifact-dependent jobs** - preserves correctness across many jobs, but it adds artifact upload/download time and keeps the workflow wide when the artifact consumers can run behind a local dependency in the primary job.
- **Run `typecheck` and `build` concurrently** - exposes more work to the scheduler, but both commands invoke `tsc -b`; sharing incremental build state between them is a needless race for a small wall-clock gain.
- **Use unbounded real-API e2e parallelism** - rejected because the suite includes many live model/tool scenarios; the worker pool needs an explicit `DSH_E2E_MAX_WORKERS` cap so CI and local runs can fan out without hiding quota or resource problems behind flaky rate-limit failures.
## Consequences
PR feedback arrives as a few GitHub checks with structured per-gate log blocks inside each broad job. That keeps runner setup overhead bounded and the Actions UI compact, at the cost of losing one status check per leaf gate.
The broad-lane split repeats checkout, setup, and install more often than a single primary job. That setup cost is intentional: on GitHub's hosted runner, running lint, coverage, and snapshot replay in one process pool oversubscribes CPU badly enough that the single-job critical path is longer than the repeated setup.
The split introduces a maintenance obligation: when `package.json` adds or removes a gate that belongs in CI, [scripts/run-gates.ts](../../../../scripts/run-gates.ts) needs the matching leaf. That obligation is intentional because the runner is the parallel execution plan for the same gate vocabulary, not a separate quality policy.
The Node 26 signal is narrower than the primary Node 24 signal. It proves the source graph on the newer runtime without doubling documentation, coverage, publication, snapshot, and smoke checks whose failures are not expected to vary by Node minor version.

# RFC: Parallel pre-push gates
Status: implemented
## Problem
The pre-push hook is the last local checkpoint before a branch leaves the machine, so its wall clock directly shapes whether contributors keep it enabled and trust its signal. Lefthook already runs top-level jobs in parallel, but aggregate jobs such as `pnpm run hygiene` and `pnpm run doc-sync` hide long sequential chains inside one job. The hook can therefore be configured as parallel while still waiting on serial subcommands whose members are independent.
Flattening those members directly into `lefthook.yml` solves the local hook only. CI has the same scheduling problem, and duplicating a long leaf list in YAML gives future script changes two places to drift.
`publint` has the same shape one level lower. Each package is linted independently against its own manifest and built output, but the runner loops through every package in order. On this repo that makes one package-publication gate consume time proportional to the number of packages even though the checks do not share mutable state.
## Decision
[lefthook.yml](../../../../lefthook.yml) keeps one pre-push job named `full check` and runs `pnpm run check:pre-push`. That package script delegates to [scripts/run-gates.ts](../../../../scripts/run-gates.ts), the same bounded scheduler CI uses.
The `pre-push` mode expands into leaf gates for the unit suite, snapshot suite, build, `hygiene` members, `doc-sync` members, and module-graph freshness. The leaf list keeps the same gate vocabulary as the package scripts, including RFC classification and RFC format, while the runner schedules independent checks concurrently and prints one timing/output block per gate.
The build gate makes the hook self-contained from a clean worktree. `publint` and `verify-node-next-types` wait for that build output, while source-only gates continue in parallel.
[scripts/publint-all.ts](../../../../scripts/publint-all.ts) discovers the package list from `packages/<group>/<pkg>` and runs `publint` with a worker pool sized from `availableParallelism()`. `DSH_PUBLINT_CONCURRENCY` can cap or raise the worker count for local machines and CI runners with different resource profiles. Results are buffered per package and printed in deterministic package order, so parallel execution does not scramble each package's log block.
The aggregate package scripts remain the source of truth for ad hoc local runs. The scheduler is a parallel execution plan over their member gates, not a replacement vocabulary.
## Alternatives considered
- **Keep aggregate `hygiene` and `doc-sync` jobs in the hook** - simpler config, but it leaves most of the pre-push wall clock inside serial command chains that lefthook cannot see or schedule.
- **Declare one lefthook job per leaf gate** - exposes parallelism through lefthook's native job model, but it makes the hook file carry a long member list that CI cannot reuse.
- **Require developers to build before pushing** - avoids one hook gate, but it makes `publint` fail in a clean worktree and turns the final local checkpoint into a convention instead of a runnable check.
- **Background subcommands inside shell scripts** - can parallelize work, but it loses lefthook's job names, per-job timing, and failure grouping, and makes signal handling harder to reason about.
- **Declare one publint lefthook job per package** - exposes maximum parallelism, but it turns the hook into a hand-maintained package inventory that drifts exactly when new packages are added.
- **Run publint with unbounded concurrency** - minimizes elapsed time on small machines only by gambling with process count, memory pressure, package tarball creation, and readable logs.
## Consequences
The hook's critical path becomes the slowest real gate instead of the sum of hidden gate chains. Lefthook reports one `full check` job, and the runner reports per-gate timing inside that job, so a slow local checkpoint still points at the gate that dominates the run.
The hook file stays short, and the duplicated member list lives in [scripts/run-gates.ts](../../../../scripts/run-gates.ts), where CI and pre-push can share it. The cost is a custom scheduler script instead of pure lefthook configuration, plus a build in the local pre-push path.
`publint-all.ts` becomes asynchronous code and buffers command output instead of inheriting stdio live. The payoff is package-level parallelism with stable output order and one environment variable for resource tuning.
