Add a **persisted, tool-private presentation channel** so a tool's `execute` can attach a result-time render payload that survives replay, and use it to carry the applied-hunk diff.
### 1. A `meta` channel on the tool result (core)
### 1. A replayable presentation projection on canonical tool output (core)
`ToolDefinition.execute` may now return either its model-facing `ContentBlock[]` (unchanged, the common case) OR `{ content: ContentBlock[]; meta?: unknown }`:
The original implementation let `execute` return `{ content, meta }`. The [canonical tool-output contract](2026-07-20-canonical-tool-output-contract.md) supersedes that authoring shape: every tool now returns one schema-declared JSON value, `output.render(args, value)` derives model-facing blocks, and optional `output.presentationMeta(args, value)` derives replayable UI data.
```ts ignore-check
type ToolExecuteReturn = ContentBlock[] | { content: ContentBlock[]; meta?: unknown }
```
`presentationMeta` is tool-owned `JsonValue` that the core persists without interpreting its fields. `Session.append` validates it with the rest of the event, and replay passes the stored payload back to `presentResult`; presentations therefore reproduce without I/O or recomputation. The canonical value itself remains execution-local and is not added to the session format.
`meta` is tool-owned `unknown` that the core persists without interpretation. `Session.append` rejects non-JSON values, and replay passes the stored payload back to `presentResult`; presentations therefore reproduce without I/O or recomputation. Runtime validation avoids adding a shared serializable-value dependency to the tools core.
This is the general shape ("a tool attaches durable result presentation"), not an fs-specific one — any tool can use it.
This remains the general shape ("a tool projects durable result presentation"), not an fs-specific one—any tool can use it.
### 2. The tool computes the hunk; the backend returns before/after (fs)
Per the [capability-seam split](2026-06-13-capability-seams.md), the storage backend returns only **storage facts** and the model-facing tool owns **presentation**:
- `dsh-fs` widens `FsEditOutcome` with `{ before: string; after: string }` and `FsWriteOutcome` with `{ before: string | null; after: string }` (`before: null` ⇒ a create, or an existing-but-undiffable binary/non-UTF-8 file). The local backend already holds both texts at write time; it returns them as raw LF-normalized text, with **no diff/UI concept** entering the seam.
- `dsh-tool-fs` stores contextual hunks in `meta: { diffs: FileDiff[] }`. Successful mutations always complete with a diff card because ACP result content replaces the pending card: creates or unchanged overwrites fall back to an args-derived whole-file diff, while edits use applied hunks. Failed mutations carry no diff metadata and render their error normally.

Before this change the behavior was uneven. `dsh-bash-local` already writes complete stdout/stderr streams to private temp spill files when its in-memory tail overflows, but ordinary text tool results were returned inline unless the tool hand-rolled its own cap.

# Agent Note: Canonical tool output contract
Status: implemented
English | [中文](2026-07-20-canonical-tool-output-contract.zh.md)
## Problem
Tool bodies previously authored model-facing `ContentBlock[]` directly, optionally wrapping it with opaque `meta`. Native function calling therefore had a usable human projection, but a programmatic caller had no stable domain value: Code Mode flattened the blocks back into a string, dynamic tools repeated the content shape, and policy could replace presentation without any way to distinguish that change from replacing the operation's result. Several capability seams already returned richer provider values only to discard them at their model-facing tool boundary.
The durable session contract made that presentation authoritative for replay, but persisting every rich intermediate value would enlarge logs, expose implementation data to compaction and migration, and incorrectly turn an execution-local API into session format. The foundation instead needs one typed value during execution and an explicit projection into the existing durable/model-facing content.
## Decision
Every tool declares a mandatory canonical output and returns only the value described by it:
```ts ignore-check
output: {
schema: OutputSchema
render(args, value): ContentBlock[]
presentationMeta?(args, value): JsonValue
}
```
`defineTool` infers the body return and both projectors from the unified `ValueSchemaSpec`. Raw and dynamic definitions provide the compiled `JsonSchemaNode` form. Registration rejects a missing declaration or unsupported raw schema; there is no content-return compatibility path.
For each successful dispatch the registry snapshots the returned value as lossless `JsonValue`, validates it against `output.schema`, deep-freezes it, then invokes the pure renderer and, for a direct surface call, the optional metadata projector. Renderer, projector, schema, or lossless-JSON failures are contained as ordinary `ToolOutputError` results. An around `tools/execute` wrapper receives and returns the canonical success/failure union; a wrapper-authored success is normalized again through the resolved tool's output declaration instead of trusting independently authored content.
```ts ignore-check
type ToolExecutionResult =
| { isError: false; value: JsonValue; content: ContentBlock[]; meta?: JsonValue; additionalContexts?: HookContext[] }
| { isError: true; error: { message: string; info?: { name: string; code: string } }; content: ContentBlock[]; meta?: JsonValue; additionalContexts?: HookContext[] }
```
`tools/post-execute` has two mutually exclusive successful projections. Replacing `content` changes only Native/model presentation and preserves the canonical value and metadata. Replacing `value` revalidates the replacement and recomputes both presentation projections. A block removes the value and becomes a failure. Content replacement is therefore not a confidentiality mechanism: policy that must prevent programmatic access blocks the call or replaces the value.
Canonical values are execution-local. The agent loop persists `tool/result` with only `content`, `error`, and `meta`; Code Mode's `tool/code-dispatch` persists only its bounded summary. Neither event stores the intermediate value, so replay reproduces presentation but cannot reconstruct the programmatic result. `presentationMeta` is computed only for a direct surface call, including the outer `run_code`; a nested Code dispatch gets no metadata or result card. Generic and tool-owned spill projections similarly skip nested dispatches, whose canonical value never enters model context.
The first-party tools preserve their existing Native text while returning domain DTOs:
| Tool family | Canonical value |
|---|---|
| `read` | `{ path, offset, lines: [{ number, text }], totalLines }` |
| `write` | `{ path, operation: "create" | "update", before: string | null, after }` |
| `edit` | `{ path, before, after }` |
| `glob` | `{ paths: string[] }` |
| `grep` | `{ matches: [{ path, lineNumber, line }] }` |
| `web_search` / `web_fetch` | The normalized `WebSearchResult` / `WebFetchResult` |
| `bash` | `{ kind: "background", taskId }` or `{ kind: "foreground" } & BashRunResult` |
| `task_output` / `task_list` / `task_kill` | Public task snapshots without owner or notification bookkeeping |
| `subagent` | Background task handle or `{ kind: "foreground", runId, output: JsonValue[] }` |
| `workflow` / `ralph` | `{ runId, agentsStarted, result: JsonValue }` |
| `skill` | `{ name, provider, resourceBase?, content }` |
| `todo_write` | `{ todos, counts }` |
| `ask_user_question` | `{ answers: [{ id, selected, custom? }] }` |
| `cordis_inspect` / `cordis_mount` / `cordis_unmount` | Inspection text or typed dynamic-mount handles |
| `structured_output` | `{ recorded: true }` |
| `run_code` | `{ logs: string[], result?: JsonValue }` |
Provider and executor acquisition limits remain real limits on the canonical value. Formatting-only limits belong in `render`; `glob` and `grep`, for example, keep every acquired item in `value` while their Native projection retains and best-effort spills the configured first page. Filesystem mutations derive replayable diff metadata from `args` and the canonical before/after value rather than returning UI state from the body.
MCP bridges preserve protocol blocks through `McpResult<{...}> = { content: JsonValue[]; structuredContent? }`. An advertised `outputSchema` is enforced when it belongs to the supported raw subset; unsupported schemas fall back to `JsonValue` rather than pretending to validate them. Native rendering still uses the existing MCP-to-`ContentBlock` projection, and MCP `isError` becomes a failed tool result.
## Alternatives considered
- **Return rendered text to Code Mode:** rejected because callers would continue scraping prose for task ids, mount ids, paths, and structured provider results.
- **Persist canonical values on `tool/result`:** rejected because nested execution values are not model history, need not survive replay, and would create a session-format and storage commitment unrelated to Native reconstruction.
- **Let tools return both value and content:** rejected because two author-owned results can disagree and policy cannot state which one is authoritative. The renderer makes presentation a deterministic projection of the validated value.
- **Treat content replacement as value redaction:** rejected because presentation and programmatic access are different consumers; hiding only the former would create a false security boundary.
- **Require object-rooted tool outputs:** rejected because scalar, array, and null results are legitimate JSON APIs. Object-rooting remains a consumer rule for caller-defined subagent/workflow structured output.
## Consequences
Native and replay behavior remains content-first and byte-compatible, while execution-time callers can use a validated domain value without parsing that content. Failures have one required message plus optional internal class/code information, successful and failed outcomes are discriminated, and a failed result can never promise a value. Tool authors must design the value and Native projection together; the extra declaration is intentional because it prevents accidental programmatic contracts from being inferred from prose.
Intermediate values remain bounded only by the producing capability and process memory. Their omission from the log means replay cannot recover them, and a content-only post policy does not hide them. These are explicit properties of the execution-local contract, not accidental gaps.

# Agent Note:规范工具输出契约
Status: implemented
[English](2026-07-20-canonical-tool-output-contract.md) | 中文
## 问题
工具主体过去直接编写面向模型的 `ContentBlock[]`,并可选择将其与不透明的 `meta` 包装在一起。因此,Native 模式的 Function Calling(函数调用)虽然拥有可供人阅读的投影,但程序化调用方没有稳定的领域值:Code Mode 会将内容块重新展平为字符串,动态工具会重复定义内容形态,策略也可以替换展示内容,却无法区分这项变更究竟是替换展示,还是替换操作结果。多个能力 seam 已经返回了信息更丰富的提供方值,却又在面向模型的工具边界丢弃这些值。
持久会话契约将这份展示内容视为回放时的权威来源,但如果持久化每一个信息丰富的中间值,就会扩大日志、使实现数据进入压缩和迁移流程,还会错误地把执行期本地 API 变成会话格式的一部分。因此,系统底层需要在执行期间保留一个类型化值,并显式将其投影为现有的持久化内容和模型可见内容。
## 决策
每个工具都必须声明规范输出,并且只能返回该声明描述的值:
```ts ignore-check
output: {
schema: OutputSchema
render(args, value): ContentBlock[]
presentationMeta?(args, value): JsonValue
}
```
`defineTool` 从统一的 `ValueSchemaSpec` 推导工具主体返回值和两个投影器的类型。原始定义和动态定义则提供编译后的 `JsonSchemaNode` 形式。注册时会拒绝缺失输出声明或采用不受支持原始 schema 的定义,不提供兼容旧式内容返回值的路径。
每次成功分发时,注册表会将返回值快照为无损 `JsonValue`,依据 `output.schema` 校验并深度冻结,然后调用纯渲染器;对于直接的外层调用,还会调用可选的元数据投影器。渲染器、投影器、schema 或无损 JSON 处理失败都会被收敛为普通 `ToolOutputError` 结果。around `tools/execute` 包装层接收并返回规范的成功/失败联合;包装层自行产生的成功结果会再次通过已解析工具的输出声明完成归一化,而不会信任其独立编写的内容。
```ts ignore-check
type ToolExecutionResult =
| { isError: false; value: JsonValue; content: ContentBlock[]; meta?: JsonValue; additionalContexts?: HookContext[] }
| { isError: true; error: { message: string; info?: { name: string; code: string } }; content: ContentBlock[]; meta?: JsonValue; additionalContexts?: HookContext[] }
```
`tools/post-execute` 为成功结果提供两种互斥的投影方式。替换 `content` 只改变 Native/模型展示,并保留规范值和元数据。替换 `value` 会重新校验替代值,并重新计算两份展示投影。阻止操作会移除值并转为失败。因此,替换内容并不是保密机制:必须阻止程序化访问的策略,应当阻止调用或替换值。
规范值仅存在于执行期间。agent loop(智能体循环)持久化的 `tool/result` 只包含 `content`、`error` 和 `meta`;Code Mode 的 `tool/code-dispatch` 只持久化其有界摘要。两个事件都不存储中间值,因此回放可以重现展示,却无法重建程序化结果。系统只会为直接的外层调用计算 `presentationMeta`,其中包括外层 `run_code`;嵌套 Code 分发没有元数据或结果卡片。通用以及工具自有的输出落盘投影同样跳过嵌套分发,因为它们的规范值永远不会进入模型上下文。
第一方工具在保持现有 Native 文本不变的同时返回领域 DTO:
| 工具系列 | 规范值 |
|---|---|
| `read` | `{ path, offset, lines: [{ number, text }], totalLines }` |
| `write` | `{ path, operation: "create" | "update", before: string | null, after }` |
| `edit` | `{ path, before, after }` |
| `glob` | `{ paths: string[] }` |
| `grep` | `{ matches: [{ path, lineNumber, line }] }` |
| `web_search` / `web_fetch` | 归一化后的 `WebSearchResult` / `WebFetchResult` |
| `bash` | `{ kind: "background", taskId }` 或 `{ kind: "foreground" } & BashRunResult` |
| `task_output` / `task_list` / `task_kill` | 不含所有者或通知账务字段的公开任务快照 |
| `subagent` | 后台任务句柄或 `{ kind: "foreground", runId, output: JsonValue[] }` |
| `workflow` / `ralph` | `{ runId, agentsStarted, result: JsonValue }` |
| `skill` | `{ name, provider, resourceBase?, content }` |
| `todo_write` | `{ todos, counts }` |
| `ask_user_question` | `{ answers: [{ id, selected, custom? }] }` |
| `cordis_inspect` / `cordis_mount` / `cordis_unmount` | 检查文本或类型化的动态挂载句柄 |
| `structured_output` | `{ recorded: true }` |
| `run_code` | `{ logs: string[], result?: JsonValue }` |
提供方和执行器的采集上限仍会实际限制规范值。仅用于格式化的限制归 `render` 所有;例如,`glob` 和 `grep` 会在 `value` 中保留所有已采集项,而其 Native 投影仍只保留配置指定的第一页,并尽力将完整展示内容写入落盘文件。文件系统变更工具根据 `args` 和规范的变更前/后值推导可回放的 diff 元数据,不再由工具主体返回 UI 状态。
MCP 桥接层通过 `McpResult<{...}> = { content: JsonValue[]; structuredContent? }` 保留协议内容块。当公布的 `outputSchema` 属于受支持的原始子集时,系统会强制校验;不受支持的 schema 则回退为 `JsonValue`,而不会假装已完成校验。Native 渲染仍使用现有的 MCP 到 `ContentBlock` 投影,MCP `isError` 则会变为失败的工具结果。
## 备选方案
- **向 Code Mode 返回渲染后的文本:**不予采纳。调用方仍需从自然语言中提取 task id、挂载 id、路径和结构化提供方结果。
- **在 `tool/result` 上持久化规范值:**不予采纳。嵌套执行值不属于模型历史记录,无需在回放后继续存在;持久化还会引入与 Native 重建无关的会话格式和存储承诺。
- **允许工具同时返回值和内容:**不予采纳。由作者分别维护的两份结果可能互相矛盾,策略也无法说明哪一份才是权威结果。渲染器会根据已校验值确定性地产生展示。
- **将内容替换视为值脱敏:**不予采纳。展示内容和程序化访问面向不同消费方;只隐藏前者会制造虚假的安全边界。
- **要求工具输出必须以对象为根:**不予采纳。标量、数组和 null 结果都是合理的 JSON API。只有由调用方定义的 subagent/工作流结构化输出仍受消费方的对象根规则约束。
## 影响
Native 和回放行为仍以内容为先,并保持逐字节兼容;执行期调用方则无需解析内容,即可使用经过校验的领域值。失败结果必须包含消息,并可选择附加内部类名/代码信息;成功与失败结果由判别字段区分,失败结果绝不会承诺存在值。工具作者必须一并设计值及其 Native 投影;增加这项声明是有意为之,因为它避免从自然语言内容意外推导出程序化契约。
中间值只受产生它们的能力和进程内存限制。日志不包含这些值,因此回放无法恢复;仅处理内容的 post 策略也无法隐藏这些值。这些都是执行期本地契约的明确属性,并非意外缺口。
