 ## The worker entry, unbuilt and built

The CommonJS format is required because pkg's VFS Worker hook compiles filesystem-string entries as CommonJS.

-The bridge advertises one independent `select` per composable knob in the `session/new`/`session/load` responses — `sandbox-mode` (`read-only`/`workspace-write`/`danger-full-access`, category `mode`) iff the mounted executor confines (`ctx.get('bash')?.sandboxMode` defined), `approval-policy` (`ask`/`never`) iff the approval seam is composed — with each session's `currentValue` folded from its OWN log (`effectiveSandboxMode`/`effectiveApprovalPolicy` ?? the composition default), so `session/load` reports a resumed session's overrides with no catch-up machinery. `session/set_config_option` validates the value against the same closed vocabulary, routes to the domain's write path (`setSandboxMode`/`setApprovalPolicy` — ONE log-only event on that session's log), and returns the complete refreshed state per the spec. Anchoring honors turn-enclosure: a switch while a turn is open appends immediately (openness read from the LOG — `agent.status` stays `running` between queued turns); an idle switch is held on the session record and anchored at the next turn's `agent/prompt-submit` (inside the turn, before anything assembles, last write per knob — an idle flip-flop anchors as one event), because appending from inside a `session/event` listener would reorder events for later-registered peers. Until anchored the switch lives in bridge memory only: responses overlay it truthfully, and a crash before the next turn reverts it — `session/load` then reports the fold's truth.

+When `ctx.permission` is composed, the bridge advertises one `permission` select (category `mode`) in `session/new` and `session/load`; its options come from the deployment's preset table and its current value is `PermissionService.current(session.events)`, including the derived, switch-away-only `custom` state when the effective knobs match no preset. `session/set_config_option` accepts only advertised preset names, calls `PermissionService.set()` to write the preset through to the sandbox-mode and approval-policy events, and returns the complete refreshed state. A switch during an open turn appends immediately; an idle switch stays on the session record and anchors at the next turn's `agent/prompt-submit`, inside the turn and before request assembly. Until that anchor, responses overlay the pending value and a crash reverts to the durable fold. Design: [the sandbox RFC § Per-session mode switching](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/feature/2026-07-06-sandbox.md); preset contract: [`dsh-permission`](../permission/README.md); protocol matrix: [acp-feature-support.md](acp-feature-support.md) § 6.
 
 Background-task isolation rides on `dsh-tool-bash`: bash task ids are global and predictable, so each task carries an opaque owner token — the owning agent's `session.header.id` — stored on the task inside the executor (`dsh-bash`'s `ownerOf(id)` seam). `bash_output`/`bash_kill` reject a task whose token differs from the caller's session token, so one session's agent can't read or kill another's task. Ownership is by session TOKEN, not `Agent` object identity — a different `Agent` object on the same session may access the task — and because the token lives on the executor's task it survives a `tool-bash` HMR reload.

+
+The **JSON-RPC SDK server app bin** (`dsh-jsonrpc-agent`): boot a harness from an externally supplied `cordis.yml` and let its [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-jsonrpc`](../jsonrpc/README.md) entry serve SDK clients over newline-delimited JSON-RPC on stdio. Structurally the SDK-runtime sibling of [`acp-agent`](../acp-agent/README.md)'s bin, but bin-only: there is no composition plugin here, because "the plugins that actually start come from the external config" is the SDK runtime's hard semantic — the leaf `cordis.yml` composes the spine, the backends, AND the serving face. This package is the entrypoint of the single-exe distribution (its `lib/bin.js` is what the packaged executable runs) — see [docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-10-single-file-executable-sdk-runtime-distribution.md](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-10-single-file-executable-sdk-runtime-distribution.md).
+
+## Config discovery
+
+Two channels, environment first: `$DSH_CORDIS_CONFIG` (the existing SDK-client convention, wins), then the `argv[2]` positional path (`dsh-jsonrpc-agent <path/to/cordis.yml>`, the human channel). An empty value counts as absent on either channel. Neither given, or the path missing on disk: the bin prints a one-line usage naming both channels to stderr and exits 1 — there is no default `./cordis.yml` and no built-in fallback config. A config that names a plugin which fails to load fails loud through the shared [`dsh-app-boot`](../app-boot/README.md) guards (`assertEntriesLoaded` + the unhandled-rejection handler), never a silent half-boot. There is no `DSH_SNAPSHOT` handling: this protocol is not part of the ACP snapshot tier.
+
+Note the deliberate flip side of config-decides-everything: a config that loads no `dsh-jsonrpc` entry boots fine and serves nothing — the bin cannot know which plugin is "the server".
+
+## Exit lifecycle
+
+The bin owns the PROCESS-level exits: stdin EOF (the SDK client is gone — an in-flight turn is deliberately cut off, see the risk note in docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-10-single-file-executable-sdk-runtime-distribution.md) and `SIGTERM` dispose the root context to quiescence and exit 0; `SIGINT` does the same but exits 130. The PROTOCOL-level exit — a `shutdown` JSON-RPC request answered first, then exit 0 — is owned by the `dsh-jsonrpc` plugin, which holds the server and transport; the two paths are individually idempotent and safe to race.
+
+## stdout is the protocol
+
+stdout carries only JSON-RPC frames; the bin and the app-boot guards write diagnostics to stderr only, and the booted config must load no stdout logger (see the `dsh-jsonrpc` README).

+# @deepseek-ai/dsh-jsonrpc
+
+The **SDK server plugin** (`jsonrpc`): mounting it serves a stdio JSON-RPC server that lets an out-of-process SDK client (e.g. the Python `deepseek_harness` package) drive DeepSeek Harness agents without touching Cordis. The client speaks newline-delimited JSON-RPC on the process stdin/stdout ([`HarnessSdkServer`](src/server.ts): `initialize` → `session/prompt` → `shutdown`, with `session.event` / `session.finished` / `subagent.*` notifications over [`JsonRpcLineTransport`](src/transport.ts)). The SDK-client analogue of the [`acp`](../acp/README.md) bridge, split the same way: this package is the protocol plugin, [`jsonrpc-agent`](../jsonrpc-agent/README.md) is the app bin that boots a `cordis.yml` around it — which process serves this protocol is a config decision, not a hardcoded bin. This plugin is the serving face of the single-exe distribution plan — see [docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-10-single-file-executable-sdk-runtime-distribution.md](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-10-single-file-executable-sdk-runtime-distribution.md).
+
+## Wiring
+
+`inject: ['agents']` — the server creates one agent per SDK `sessionId` (get-or-create on `session/prompt`) and demuxes `subagent/end` through the registry. The LLM seam is read opportunistically via `ctx.get('llm')` (not injected): when `initialize.model` has no registered adapter, the plugin mounts `dsh-llm-deepseek` for it (credentials from `$DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` / `$DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL`); a config-registered adapter for the model wins. Everything else — persistence, the tool stacks, the adapter set — comes from the surrounding `cordis.yml`.
+
+## Config
+
+No `cordis.yml`-settable keys. The `JsonRpcConfig` fields (`input`, `output`, `exit`) are runtime-only test seams so a spec can drive the server over in-memory streams without a subprocess or a killed test process; production always serves the process stdio and exits via `process.exit`.
+
+## stdout is the protocol
+
+The process stdout this plugin runs in carries only JSON-RPC frames. The tree that loads it must load NO stdout logger (a console logger corrupts the frames) — the guarantee is config-only, same as the ACP bridge. Diagnostics go to stderr.
+
+## Shutdown and exit semantics
+
+The plugin owns the PROTOCOL-level exit: a `shutdown` request is answered first (the response frame flushes), then the plugin disposes its own fiber — running the effect disposer: an idempotent `server.shutdown()` (every SDK-created agent disposed to quiescence, event subscriptions detached) plus `transport.close()` — and exits the process with code 0. Own-fiber disposal is deliberate: the request's `server.shutdown()` already flushed all SDK-owned session state, and the process exit that follows is the teardown of the rest of the tree. Process-level exits (stdin EOF → 0, SIGTERM → 0, SIGINT → 130) belong to the app bin, which disposes the whole root context. Fiber disposal WITHOUT a `shutdown` request (HMR-style unload) just stops serving — it never exits the process.
+
+## Wire notes
+
+`initialize.serverInfo.name` is the wire-stable `deepseek-harness-sdk-runtime` (SDK clients key on it, independent of this package's name). A session accepts at most one in-flight `session/prompt`; an overlapping prompt for the same `sessionId` fails immediately through the standard handler-error response, while other sessions remain independent and the same session can be reused after the active prompt settles. Persistence roots and the deployment persona come from `cordis.yml`; the wire exposes only parameters the server applies.

+
+User-facing permission presets. Owns the `ctx.permission` service ([`PermissionService`](src/index.ts)): a config-defined preset table — by default `workspace-write` (`workspace-write` + `ask`) and `danger-full-access` (`danger-full-access` + `never`) — where each name bundles the two mechanism knobs, `bash/sandbox-mode` and `approval/policy`. The product surface (the ACP bridge's single `Permissions` select) advertises `names` and calls `set()`; the mechanism tiers stay orthogonal capabilities that never learn the product vocabulary.
+
+A switch WRITES THROUGH: `set(session, name)` appends one log-only `permission/preset` event when the name differs from the session's current preset (the audit fact reverse-mapping cannot recover — two presets may share knob values and differ only in composed policy, the planned `agent` preset being the standing example), then each knob event through its own THE-write-path setter, skipping values the session already effectively has — a net-zero switch appends nothing. The current preset DERIVES from the effective knob values (fold ?? composition default per knob): the last-chosen preset when its bundle still matches (presets may share bundles — the fold breaks the tie), else the first matching table entry, else the reserved `custom` — the honest not-a-preset state, shown as the current value only while it holds, switchable FROM and never a target. Every existing knob consumer (executor stamping, the approval gate, narrators, resume) keeps reading its own fold, untouched.
+
+Composing it requires a confining `ctx.bash` executor and the `ctx.approval` seam; a table entry named `custom` throws at load (the name is reserved), while composition defaults outside the table are not an error — a zero-event session simply derives `custom`. See [the acp-agent example's default tree](../../../examples/acp-agent/) for the composed leaf and [the sandbox RFC § Per-session modes](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/feature/2026-07-06-sandbox.md) for the switching design this layers over.
