feat(subprocess): migrate lsp-local, subagent-acp, and the env scrubs onto the seam
Review direction (tianyicui, PR #660): in a stacked PR, change all other process-running places to use the new service. - lsp-local: LspConnection spawns through ctx.subprocess (piped protocol streams + a no-spill collected stderr tail); its private process-tree helpers (POSIX group signalling, Windows taskkill, liveness polling) are deleted in favor of the seam's handle verbs, and its buildChildEnv now rides scrubbedParentEnv (LSP children also stop inheriting stale DSH_*). The plugin injects 'subprocess'; compositions/tests mount dsh-subprocess-local. - subagent-acp: the ACP child spawns through the seam (piped ndjson streams, inherited stderr); spawn failure surfaces through done-rejection into the same startup race; disposal is handle.dispose with the plugin's configured graces. dsh-subagent-subprocess is DELETED — its dispose ladder and scrub are the seam's, and the isolated-config-dir helper had no consumer. - mcp-client, pty-local, sdk-helper: adopt scrubbedParentEnv as the one scrub definition (their spawns stay put by ownership: the MCP SDK and node-pty own those calls; the SDK wizard runs outside any composition). - Coverage: per-file 100% over every touched src file, with each v8 ignore carrying a platform or contract reason; new suites cover stdio dispositions, the dispose ladder tiers, injected-win32 tree semantics, waitForExit, settled-kill/terminate no-ops, and spawn-failure disposal. - Docs: consumer-migration Agent Note (en; zh follows in this PR), seam note updated in place, subprocess.md rewritten for the reshaped vocabulary (type-equiv re-registered), READMEs and SERVICE_ROLES updated, taskkill added to knip ignoreBinaries.

## Problem
|
||||
|
||||
The [subprocess seam](2026-07-26-subprocess-seam.md) shipped shaped for exactly one consumer family: batch-collected stdout/stderr, batch stdin, a single escalating `kill()`. That was deliberate scope control, and its own note records "migrate the other spawn sites" as rejected-for-now. Review on the introducing PR reversed that deferral: the stacked follow-up should reshape the interface toward Node's API and move the remaining process-running places onto the service. The remaining spawners each carried a private copy of some slice of the same mechanics — lsp-local had its own detached-tree signalling (POSIX group + Windows taskkill + liveness polling), subagent-subprocess had the dispose ladder and its own scrub, mcp-client and pty-local and the SDK helper each had a third/fourth/fifth copy of the credential scrub — and none of it was swappable or centrally testable.
|
||||
|
||||
## Decision
|
||||
|
||||
The seam's vocabulary is now Node-shaped, and every spawner that can ride the service does:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Per-stream stdio dispositions** on `SubprocessSpawnSpec`: `'pipe'` (the raw `Readable`/`Writable`, for consumer-owned protocol framing), `'inherit'` (diagnostics to the parent's stream), and collect mode `{ maxBytes, spill? }` — the original bounded tail-keep shape, with the spill file now optional so a diagnostic tail (a language server's stderr) buffers without touching disk. stdin is `'ignore'`, `'pipe'`, or `{ data }` (write-and-close batch).
|
||||
- **`SubprocessOutcome` carries exit facts only** (Node's close-event vocabulary); collected output stays readable through `handle.collected` after settlement (spill fds seal at the settle boundary), so batch and streaming callers share one access path and nothing is copied into the outcome.
|
||||
- **Tree-scoped termination, split Node-style**: `kill(signal?)` sends one signal and is a no-op after settlement; `terminate()` owns the SIGTERM→grace→SIGKILL escalation (and serves the spec's abort signal); `waitForExit()` polls tree liveness (POSIX group probe; direct-child boundary on Windows); `dispose(graces)` is the cooperative stdin-EOF→SIGTERM→SIGKILL ladder absorbed from `subagent-subprocess`, memoized per handle. Windows tree termination (`taskkill /T`, injectable) moved in from lsp-local, so tree semantics are platform-correct for every consumer.
|
||||
- **One scrub definition**: `scrubbedParentEnv()`/`SENSITIVE_ENV_PATTERN` live on the seam. Spawners that cannot route the spawn itself through the service — pty-local (node-pty owns the fork) and mcp-client (the MCP SDK owns the transport spawn) — import the function, so environment policy is single-sourced even where process ownership is not; the SDK helper's `scrubEnvironment()` defaults through it as well.
|
||||
|
||||
Migrations landed with the reshape: **bash-local/bash-sandbox** (collect modes + batch stdin; the bash `kill()` maps to `terminate()` so `task_kill` keeps escalation semantics), **lsp-local** (piped protocol streams + a no-spill collected stderr tail; `LspConnection` takes the seam's spawn function; its private tree-op helpers deleted), **subagent-acp** (piped ndjson streams + inherited stderr; spawn failure surfaces through `done` rejection into the same startup race; disposal is `handle.dispose` with the plugin's configured graces). **`dsh-subagent-subprocess` is deleted** — the dispose ladder and scrub are the seam's; the unused isolated-config-dir helper died with it (no consumer existed).
|
||||
|
||||
Compositions mounting lsp-local or subagent-acp now load `dsh-subprocess-local` (the plugins inject `'subprocess'`); the acp/lsp test fixtures gained the row.
|
||||
|
||||
## Alternatives considered
|
||||
|
||||
**Keep the batch-only seam and let stream consumers stay bespoke.** The introducing note's position, rejected by review: it leaves three private copies of tree signalling and five of the scrub, and any future runner (containerized executor, remote process host) would have to pick which private copy to fork. The Node-shaped dispositions cover all three observed stream shapes without widening the outcome type or buffering piped streams.
|
||||
|
||||
**A single `stdio: 'pipe' | 'inherit' | 'collect'` mode for all three streams at once.** Rejected: real consumers mix modes per stream (lsp: pipe/pipe/collect; acp: pipe/pipe/inherit; bash: data/collect/collect). Per-stream dispositions are exactly Node's shape and avoid a second spawn call for the mixed cases.
|
||||
|
||||
**Migrate pty-local and mcp-client spawns too.** Rejected on ownership grounds, not scope: node-pty's `fork()` allocates the terminal itself, and the MCP SDK's `StdioClientTransport` spawns internally — neither call site is ours to route. They adopt the shared scrub (the part that is policy), and their READMEs say why the spawn stays put.
|
||||
|
||||
**Migrate the test-support launchers (acp-snapshot, loader-smoke) and the SDK package-manager runner.** Rejected: the support packages are deliberately dependency-light test infrastructure that must not depend on product seams, and the SDK wizard's `stdio: 'inherit'`-with-redirect semantics plus its out-of-composition lifecycle (no cordis context at all) make the service a poor fit; it shares the scrub instead.
|
||||
|
||||
## Consequences
|
||||
|
||||
Bought: one implementation of tree signalling, escalation, the dispose ladder, bounded collection, and the scrub, tested once in `dsh-subprocess-local`'s suites (including injected-platform Windows coverage that lsp-local's private copy never had); lsp-local and subagent-acp shed their process plumbing and their children now survive plugin reloads and die with composition teardown like bash's; a whole package (`dsh-subagent-subprocess`) is gone. The seam README's "one consumer family" limitation is retired.
|
||||
|
||||
Cost: the seam is wider — three stdio modes and four termination verbs instead of one of each — so a future backend implements more surface; the compositions for lsp-local/subagent-acp each carry the subprocess row now; and `SubprocessOutcome` no longer carries output, a breaking shape change inside the still-unreleased stack (the PR2 layer was updated in place rather than shimmed, per the pre-release stance). pty-local/mcp-client/SDK/test-support spawns remain outside the service by ownership, with the scrub as the shared floor.

It has no config; every limit arrives on the spec. The terminal `ENV_OVERRIDES` (`TERM=dumb` etc.) did NOT move — that is bash-tool presentation policy and stays in `dsh-bash-local`, merged through the ordinary env channel.

- **`dsh-bash-local` (consumer)** — `inject: ['subprocess']`; maps each resolved `BashExecSpec` onto a `SubprocessSpawnSpec` (`['bash', '-c', command]`), keeps its config, `resolve()` defaulting, fused-deadline `timedOut`/`aborted` classification, the `[stderr]`-marked background read merge with its consuming cursor, and the `onProcessDone` subclass hook. `dsh-bash-sandbox` is unchanged apart from redeclaring the inherited inject; it still wraps at the command-string level and re-enters the inherited spawn path.
|
||||
- **`dsh-bash` (seam)** — re-exports the moved vocabulary from `dsh-subprocess`, so no bash consumer changes an import; `BashExecRequest`/`BashExecSpec`/`BashProcess` and the sandbox facts remain bash-owned.

**Leave the process plumbing inside `dsh-bash-local` (status quo).** Rejected for the same reason the [task registry split](2026-07-26-task-registry-seam.md) landed: the boundary is stable and already documented in-code (`run.ts`'s module doc said "this layer reacts to an abort signal; the executor owns deadlines and classifies causes"), and keeping it private makes every future non-shell runner either fork the mechanics or depend on a bash-named package for non-bash work. The user-visible driver for this stack was exactly this split.
