 ### Public API
 
 - `ctx.tools.register(definition: ToolDefinition): () => void` Register a trusted typed same-process definition. The layer is the calling context's scope: a plain plugin context registers globally; an agent's `agent.ctx` registers for that agent alone, shadowing a same-named global tool there. Duplicate names within one layer throw; non-native modes also reject the reserved `run_code` transport name. `timeoutMs`, when present, must be positive and finite. Disposed with the calling fiber.
-- `ctx.tools.restrict(filter: ToolRestriction): () => void` Scoped-only (throws on a plain context): mask the global end-capability surface for the calling agent — `allow` keeps only the listed global tools, `deny` removes them; multiple restrictions intersect; scope-local registrations are merged afterward. The readonly arrays compile once into private sets. Every listed name must exist in the current pre-restriction global registry; scope-local, unknown, and reserved `run_code` names fail loudly. A deny-list admits a later global tool unless it names that tool; an allow-list excludes later names; neither filters a later scope-local registration. `restrict({})` rejects. This is live registration composition, not a parent-derived authority ceiling; see the [agent-scope security non-goal](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-08-agent-scope-contexts.md#security-and-authority-are-explicit-non-goals).
+- `ctx.tools.restrict(filter)` applies an agent-scoped allow/deny mask to global tools and throws from a plain context. The filter is snapshotted at registration; multiple masks intersect and scope-local tools merge afterwards. Deny masks admit later unnamed globals, while allow masks exclude later names. Unknown, local, or reserved names and empty filters reject. This is live visibility composition, not an authority boundary; see the [scope security non-goal](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-08-agent-scope-contexts.md#security-and-authority-are-explicit-non-goals).
 - `ctx.tools.get(name: string, scope?: ScopeKey): ToolDefinition | undefined` Resolution as one scope sees it (shadowing applied; a restricted-away global reads as absent) — presenters pass the calling agent so the card matches what executed.
 - `ctx.tools.schemas(scope?: ScopeKey): ToolSchema[]` Schemas of everything the scope can see (without the `execute` functions). The shipped tools' schemas are catalogued in [docs/tool-catalog.md](../../../docs/tool-catalog.md), generated by booting each tool plugin and harvesting this method (see [the tool-schema-catalog RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/process/2026-07-02-tool-schema-catalog.md)).
 - `ctx.tools.guard(guard: ToolGuard): () => void` Register a monotonic synchronous execution guard after `tools/pre-execute`: returning a reason denies the call, while `undefined` leaves it unchanged. A plain-context guard applies globally; an `agent.ctx` guard applies only to that agent. Later waterfall listeners cannot turn a guard denial back into permission. Disposed with the calling fiber.
-- `ctx.tools.execute(exec: ToolExecutionInput): Promise<ToolExecutionResult>` Assign a fresh opaque correlation token, losslessly materialize and deep-freeze arguments once at the model/tool boundary, then run the call through `tools/pre-execute` → guards → `tools/execute` → `tools/post-execute`. Invalid arguments normalize through the same authoritative result path without reaching policy or the body. The final outcome is independently materialized and deep-frozen once before `tools/result`. Optional `signal` remains the operational field an around-dispatch wrapper may replace.
+- `ctx.tools.execute(exec)` losslessly snapshots and freezes arguments, assigns an opaque token, runs the complete policy/dispatch/result pipeline, then independently snapshots the authoritative outcome before final observation.

 ### Extension points
 
 - Tool plugins call `ctx.tools.register()` — schemas flow into the assembly automatically.
-- `tools/pre-execute` is the reorderable allow/deny/ask gate (sandbox, permission, hooks): listeners receive `(exec, next)` and call `next()` to delegate to the default (allow) or return a `PreToolDecision` to short-circuit; a `deny` skips dispatch, while an `ask` resolves through the approval seam and dispatches only after a grant. Either non-grant path yields an `isError` result. `ctx.tools.guard()` installs scope-aware monotonic policy after that waterfall when a denial must not be overridable by listener ordering. `tools/execute` is the around-dispatch seam (timeout, retry, metrics): listeners receive `(exec, next)` and call `next()` to delegate to core dispatch (returning its `ToolExecutionResult`, optionally wrapped), or return a replacement result to short-circuit dispatch; the base `next()` is dispatch-with-normalization, so `await next()` already yields an `isError` result for a thrown or unknown tool. A wrapper may change only `exec.signal` before `next()`—adding a per-call deadline, replacing a caller signal, or restoring absence afterwards—because call identity is protected before policy begins. `tools/post-execute` is the inspect/transform seam: `(exec, result, next)` → a `PostToolDecision` that can replace content, block with feedback, or attach `additionalContext`. Core dispatch is the base of the `tools/execute` waterfall; the tool body keeps its own error boundary so a thrown tool still reaches `post-execute` as an `isError`. Finally, `tools/result` observes the immutable authoritative result after every transform and error boundary. All follow the typed-decision idiom shared with the `agent/*` seams (see [`dsh-agent`](../agent/README.md)); `@deepseek-ai/dsh-timeout-policy` is the reference `tools/execute` wrapper.

 ### Typed tool parameter schemas
@@ -77,66 +80,28 @@ ctx.tools.register(defineTool({
 
 The helper converts the author-facing `SchemaSpec` (with `required: true` as a per-property boolean) to standard JSON Schema for the wire format and uses the same typed spec for execute/presentation validation. Raw JSON-Schema tool definitions (from MCP servers) are still accepted by the registry directly.
 
-A `defineTool` tool also **validates the model-generated arguments against its `SchemaSpec` before `execute` runs** (`validateArgs`). The model's JSON is untrusted — `InferArgs<S>` is a compile-time claim, not a runtime guarantee — so on a mismatch (missing required key, wrong primitive, bad enum member, nested violation) the tool throws a `ToolArgsError` (`code: 'INVALID_ARGS'`); the registry turns it into an `isError` result whose text lists the violations, which the model sees and self-corrects from. Validation mirrors the JSON Schema conversion exactly: extra keys are allowed, `default` is not applied, and an `object`/`array` prop without `properties`/`items` only type-checks. Raw-registered tools (MCP) are **not** validated by the harness — they validate their own input.
+A `defineTool` definition validates model arguments before execution and turns missing required values, wrong primitives, invalid enum members, and nested violations into `ToolArgsError` (`INVALID_ARGS`) for the normal error-result path. Extra keys are allowed, defaults are not applied, and object or array fields without `properties` or `items` receive only a type check. Raw-registered tools own their validation.
 
 See `defineTool`, `validateArgs`, `ToolArgsError`, `SchemaSpec`, `InferArgs`, and `schemaSpecToJsonSchema` in the public API for details.
 
-`defineTool` also validates an optional `timeoutMs` at definition time when present: it must be a positive finite number, or the helper throws — the budget is attached to the produced `ToolDefinition` (for `@deepseek-ai/dsh-timeout-policy`) and never reaches the model.
+Optional `timeoutMs` must be positive and finite; it is policy metadata, not model-visible schema.
 
 ### Structured-output schema subset
 
-A separate vocabulary for callers that DEMAND a machine-readable value from an agent — the subagent seam's `SubagentStartRequest.outputSchema` (and, by extension, a workflow's `agent({ schema })`). Unlike `SchemaSpec` (the author-facing DSL for tool parameters), a `StructuredOutputSchema` is an object-rooted **raw JSON Schema subset** as data: it travels verbatim to the model as a forced tool's `parameters`, and the produced value is validated against it.
-
-The subset is deliberately narrow and REJECTS LOUD outside it — accepting a keyword the validator doesn't enforce would validate less than the schema promises (accepted-then-ignored). Supported: single-string `type` (`object`/`array`/`string`/`number`/`integer`/`boolean`/`null`; type arrays rejected), `properties`/`required`/`additionalProperties` (boolean; every `required` key must be declared), `items`, scalar-only `enum`/`const`; annotations (`description`/`title`/`default`/`examples`) are ignored but must still be JSON data. `assertSupportedOutputSchema(schema)` throws `OutputSchemaError` (`code: 'UNSUPPORTED_SCHEMA'`, listing every violation) for anything else; `validateStructuredValue(schema, value)` returns path-qualified violations (empty = valid, total — never throws).
+`StructuredOutputSchema` is the object-rooted raw JSON Schema subset used by subagents and workflows for machine-readable results. It accepts one scalar `type`, object `properties`/`required`/boolean `additionalProperties`, array `items`, and scalar `enum`/`const`. The annotations `description`, `title`, `default`, and `examples` are ignored but must remain JSON data. Type arrays, undeclared required keys, and unsupported keywords fail through `OutputSchemaError` rather than being ignored; `validateStructuredValue()` returns path-qualified violations without throwing.
 
 ### Tool-owned UI presentation
 
-A tool owns how ITS calls render in a UI (an editor's tool-call card, a CLI log line) — a UI plugin must NOT special-case tool names. A `ToolDefinition` may declare two optional, pure, display-only methods that return a **`card`-tagged render intent** (a discriminated union — a tool declares its card kind once and a UI bridge switches on `card`):
+Tools optionally own pure `presentCall()` and `presentResult()` render intents, so UIs do not special-case tool names:
 
-- `presentCall(args): ToolCallView | undefined` — the PENDING state, one of:
-  - `{ card: 'generic', title, kind?, rawInput?, content?, locations? }` — the default card: a human-readable `title`, an optional `kind` (`read`/`edit`/`execute`/… for icon/treatment, default `other`), an optional `rawInput` (the salient input to show in a detail view — e.g. a background task id, NOT the whole args object), optional `content` (extra UI content blocks), and optional `locations` (`{ path, line? }[]` — files this call reads/modifies, so a capable UI can follow along; the ACP bridge forwards them as `tool_call.locations`).
-  - `{ card: 'terminal', title, description?, cwd? }` — a shell command: a capable UI renders a terminal card (the `title` is the command, `description` renders above it, `cwd` heads it); an incapable UI falls back to a generic execute card.
-  - `{ card: 'diff', title, diffs, locations? }` — a file create/modify: a capable UI renders an inline diff card from `diffs` (`{ path, oldText, newText }[]`; `oldText: null` for a new file). Used by `write`/`edit`.
-- `presentResult(args, result): ToolResultView | undefined` — the COMPLETED state, given the same `args` and the `{ content, isError, meta? }` result, one of:
-  - `{ card: 'generic', title?, content? }` — an optional replacement `title` and reformatted `content`.
-  - `{ card: 'terminal', title?, output?, exitCode?, signal? }` — a terminal run's captured `output` and exit status. A capable UI shows an exit-status pill; an incapable UI gets a fenced ` ```console ` fallback the BRIDGE derives from `output` (the tool does not encode the fences).
-  - `{ card: 'diff', title?, diffs }` — a completed file mutation as an inline diff. `diffs` is `FileDiff[]` — typically the applied hunks with surrounding context computed from the before/after content, or a whole-file diff (`oldText: null`) when there is no before-image (a file create). Used by `write`/`edit`; a `tool_call_update.content` replaces the call's content, so a mutation tool returns this even when it duplicates the call-time snippet (else the result text would clobber the pending diff).
+- Call views are `{ card: 'generic', title, kind?, rawInput?, content?, locations? }`, `{ card: 'terminal', title, description?, cwd? }`, or `{ card: 'diff', title, diffs, locations? }`.
+- Result views are `{ card: 'generic', title?, content? }`, `{ card: 'terminal', title?, output?, exitCode?, signal? }`, or `{ card: 'diff', title?, diffs }`.
 
-Returning `undefined` (or omitting a method) tells a UI to fall back to a generic presentation (title = tool name, raw args as input, raw result content). Both methods must be **pure and side-effect-free**: a UI may call them during live streaming AND during a session-log replay, so they depend only on their arguments. `result.meta` is the tool's own optional presentation payload (opaque `unknown`, JSON-serializable), attached by `execute` (see below) and persisted on the `tool/result` event, so a `presentResult` reading it stays replay-deterministic (the same `meta` is read back from the log). With `defineTool`, `args` is the typed `InferArgs<S>` shape; the helper soft-validates before calling (a malformed/older logged arg shape yields `undefined` rather than throwing, since display must never crash a replay). The views are provider-neutral — the ACP bridge (`dsh-acp`) maps each `card` to ACP `tool_call`/`tool_call_update` wire fields (a `diff` card to a `{ type: 'diff' }` content block, a `terminal` card to the `_meta` terminal convention), and relativizes a file card's title against the session cwd. See the render-intent-union RFC (`docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-02-tool-render-intent-union.md`) and the applied-hunk-diffs RFC (`docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-02-result-time-applied-hunk-diffs.md`); `dsh-tool-bash` (terminal) and `dsh-tool-fs` (diff/generic) are the reference implementations.

-import { defineTool } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tools'

-const bash = defineTool({
-  name: 'bash',
-  description: 'Run a shell command.',
-  parameters: {
-    command: { type: 'string', required: true, description: 'The command to run.' },
-    description: { type: 'string', required: true, description: 'One-line summary shown in the UI.' },
-  },
-  async execute(args) {
-    return [{ type: 'text', text: `ran: ${args.command}` }]
-  },
-  // A terminal card: the command is the title, the description renders above it.
-  presentCall: args => ({ card: 'terminal', title: args.command, description: args.description }),
-  // A terminal result: the raw output + exit; the bridge derives the fenced fallback.
-  presentResult: (_args, result) => {
-    const block = result.content.length === 1 ? result.content[0] : undefined
-    if (block === undefined || block.type !== 'text') return undefined
-    return { card: 'terminal', output: block.text }
-  },
-})
-```
+Returning `undefined` selects generic fallback. Presenters depend only on their arguments because UIs call them during live streaming and log replay. Result presentation may read JSON-serializable `result.meta`, which persists with the result; `defineTool` soft-validates older logged arguments and falls back instead of crashing replay. `dsh-tool-bash` and `dsh-tool-fs` are the reference implementations; the [render-intent RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-02-tool-render-intent-union.md) owns the rationale.
 
 ### Code Mode
 
-Under `mode: code` (or `both`) the registry turns the tool surface into a programming API, per the [Code Mode RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/feature/2026-06-15-code-mode.md): the model writes a TypeScript program (the body of an async function) and passes it to the reserved wire transport `run_code`; the program runs in `ctx.codeRuntime` (the [code-execution seam](../../code-runtime/README.md) — the shipped backend is a worker thread) with one async binding per visible end-capability tool (`await tools.bash({...})`), and ONLY what it prints or returns re-enters the model's context. Scope restrictions change those SDK bindings but cannot remove or replace the transport itself.
-
-- **The SDK section** (`tools:sdk`, order 150): a lazy prompt section regenerating, at each assembly, a `declare const tools: {...}` TypeScript declaration of the calling scope's visible end capabilities (exotic names via quoted keys), plus fixed usage instructions. Deterministic — lexicographic tool order, byte-identical text for an unchanged tool set (prefix-cache-friendly). The codegen (`jsonSchemaToTs`, exported) is total: constructs outside the `defineTool` subset degrade to `unknown`, never throw.
-- **The dispatch bridge** (`run_code`'s execute): every binding call is JSON-normalized before dispatch (a value that does not survive — `BigInt`, circulars — rejects that one call, so the dispatched form and logged form are the same JSON value by construction), serialized through a per-run queue (even `Promise.all` executes underlying calls one at a time in submission order), given the outer execution's opaque token as `parent`, and run through the complete pre-execute → guards → execute → post-execute → result pipeline. A denial reaches the program as a binding rejection, and each sub-call is logged as a `tool/code-dispatch` session event with deterministic id `<parent>:code:<n>`; `deriveMessages()` does not surface that event. Token correlation lets commit-style observers defer an inner success until the final `run_code` result without exposing the live outer execution; ordinary tool side effects are not rolled back. A sub-call's `additionalContext` is deliberately dropped because inserting it inside a running parent call would break tool-call/result adjacency.
-- **Settlement discipline**: the bridge owns a run-scoped abort that follows the outer signal in and fires when the run settles for any reason, so a budget expiry aborts an in-flight sub-tool instead of orphaning it; the bridge then drains its queue BEFORE returning, so every `tool/code-dispatch` lands inside the open turn. A failed run throws `CodeRunFailedError` (`code: 'CODE_RUN_FAILED'`, message = the failure kind + captured logs), which the pipeline converts to a structured `isError` the model self-corrects from.
-
-The wire collapse is the registry's own contribution (`systemPrompt.tools()` is mode-aware), so the logged `request/header` records it for free. When no assembly listener changes the registry's prompt or schema contributions, `code` assembles exactly `[run_code]`, pinned by tests and the snapshot goldens. Try it: `pnpm run demo:code-mode` ([the coding-agent example's Code Mode overlay](../../../examples/coding-agent/README.md#code-mode)); `pnpm run demo:code-mode acp` serves the same mode over ACP instead of the REPL.
+Under `code` or `both`, the registry exposes the reserved `run_code` transport and a deterministic TypeScript SDK for the current scope; only program output re-enters model context. Each JSON-normalized binding re-enters the complete tool pipeline sequentially with logged correlation to the outer call. Denials reject that binding, ordinary side effects are not rolled back, and mid-run `additionalContext` is omitted to preserve call/result adjacency. Run settlement aborts and drains outstanding bindings; failures surface as `CodeRunFailedError`. See the [Code Mode RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/feature/2026-06-15-code-mode.md) and [code-runtime seam](../../code-runtime/README.md). Try `pnpm run demo:code-mode`.
