+# Agent Note: Provision CI pnpm via pnpm/action-setup
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-26-pnpm-action-setup-for-symmetric-ci-caching.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+Outside `landlock-run.yml`, each workflow that installed pnpm hand-provisioned it with `corepack enable`, and five of them further repeated a hand-rolled cache setup — `pnpm store path --silent >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT`, then `actions/cache@v4` keyed on `pnpm-lock.yaml`: `e2e.yml`, `docs-pages.yml`, `pi-ai-provider-e2e.yml`, `build-exe-for-python-sdk.yml`, and the node-compat, serial-linux, and benchmark jobs of `ci.yml`. The maintained equivalent — `pnpm/action-setup@v4` (reads `packageManager` from package.json) plus `actions/setup-node` with `cache: pnpm` — was already proven in-repo in `landlock-run.yml`, and corepack's removal from newer Node distributions made every `corepack enable` a known future break.
+
+## Decision
+
+`pnpm/action-setup@v4` is the only pnpm provisioning mechanism in CI: no workflow runs `corepack enable`. The root dev dependency on `@yarnpkg/cli-dist` separately supplies the modern Yarn CLI exercised by the generated-project e2e; package-manager coverage therefore does not inherit the runner image's Yarn Classic. Caching remains per-job policy on top of pnpm provisioning, in three deliberate shapes:
+
+- **Symmetric cache** (restore and save): `actions/setup-node` with `cache: pnpm` — `e2e.yml`, `docs-pages.yml`, `pi-ai-provider-e2e.yml`, `build-exe-for-python-sdk.yml`, and the node-compat and two benchmark jobs of `ci.yml`. The larger-runner benchmark keeps its store cache Linux-only through a conditional `cache:` input; the consolidated benchmark caches on both platforms.
+- **Restore-only / producer pairing** (hand-rolled `actions/cache` steps): the three enterprise-runner PR jobs and the Wine-based pull-request Windows job restore without saving, keeping cache compression/upload off their latency-sensitive paths — an asymmetry `setup-node`'s cache cannot express. Each configures a store outside the action's replaceable install directory and resolves that path, matching the master-push serial-linux producer's path and exact key; the enterprise jobs skip restore during self-hosted failover because that VM's persistent store is already warm.
+- **Cache-less or persistent** (no store-cache action): native serial-windows and serial-macos plus `sandbox.yml` install from a cold or runner-local store. The self-hosted standby and failover jobs reuse their VM's persistent pnpm store without transferring a hosted cache archive.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **Keep the hand-rolled steps.** They worked, but they were drifting copies of setup boilerplate, and the corepack dependency was a known future break.
+- **Convert the enterprise jobs' caching to `cache: pnpm`.** Rejected: the restore-only asymmetry is a documented latency decision in `ci.yml`'s comments; erasing it to unify tooling inverts the priority.
+- **Convert serial-linux's store cache.** Rejected during implementation: the original proposal counted serial-linux among the symmetric setups, but its cache step is the producer half of the enterprise jobs' restore-only pairing — moving it to `setup-node`'s key format is the enterprise conversion by another route.
+- **Stop at the cache-bearing workflows and leave the other `corepack enable` sites.** Rejected on review follow-up: provisioning and caching are separable concerns, and leaving corepack in the cache-less jobs kept the future break and two provisioning idioms for no benefit.
+- **Rely on the runner image's Yarn.** Rejected: the hosted image exposes Yarn 1.22 after Corepack is removed, while the generated-project e2e requires Yarn 2 or newer. A locked root dev dependency makes that coverage independent of runner image contents.
+- **A composite action wrapping action-setup + setup-node.** Rejected for now: the remaining per-job variation (node-version matrices, per-platform conditional caching, the restore-only pairing) is deliberate policy, not boilerplate — a wrapper would grow mirroring inputs or flatten a real asymmetry, and the two-line pair is already near the floor.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- The corepack dependency is gone from CI entirely; pnpm arrives via the pnpm team's official action everywhere, and the version pin stays single-sourced in `package.json`'s `packageManager` field.
+- The generated-project e2e runs the root-pinned Yarn 4 CLI instead of inheriting or silently skipping the runner image's Yarn version.
+- The cache-key format changed once for converted lanes; one cold run repopulated it, after which hit rates match the old steps. The built-in key spans platform, arch, and the lockfile hash but not the Node version, so the node-compat matrix legs share one store entry — safe, because the pnpm store is Node-version-independent.
+- `setup-node`'s built-in pnpm cache restores by exact key only, with no `restore-keys` prefix fallback: a `pnpm-lock.yaml` change starts a converted lane from a cold store instead of seeding from the previous entry.
+- `pnpm/action-setup` deletes its install directory on every run and places the default store beneath the resulting `PNPM_HOME`. Linux jobs that need cache pairing or self-hosted persistence therefore set `PNPM_CONFIG_STORE_DIR` to `$HOME/.local/share/pnpm/store`, outside the action directory; the restore-only jobs and serial-linux resolve and share that stable path and exact key.

+# Agent Note: 经由 pnpm/action-setup 提供 CI 的 pnpm

+
+## 问题
+
+除 `landlock-run.yml` 外，每个安装 pnpm 的工作流都曾用 `corepack enable` 手工提供 pnpm，其中五个还各自重复着一套手写（hand-rolled）的缓存设置——`pnpm store path --silent >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT`、再加以 `pnpm-lock.yaml` 为缓存键的 `actions/cache@v4`：`e2e.yml`、`docs-pages.yml`、`pi-ai-provider-e2e.yml`、`build-exe-for-python-sdk.yml`，以及 `ci.yml` 的 node-compat、serial-linux 与 benchmark 作业。与之等价、由官方维护的做法——`pnpm/action-setup@v4`（从 package.json 读取 `packageManager`）加带 `cache: pnpm` 的 `actions/setup-node`——当时已在仓库内的 `landlock-run.yml` 中得到验证，而 corepack 被从较新 Node 发行版中移除，使每一处 `corepack enable` 都成了已知的未来失效点。
+
+## 决策
+
+`pnpm/action-setup@v4` 是 CI 中提供 pnpm 的唯一机制：没有任何工作流运行 `corepack enable`。根目录的 `@yarnpkg/cli-dist` 开发依赖另行提供 generated-project e2e 所运行的现代 Yarn CLI（命令行界面）；因此，用于包管理器覆盖率的 Yarn 不会沿用 runner 镜像里的 Yarn Classic。缓存仍是叠加在 pnpm 提供机制上的按作业政策，保持三种刻意的形态：
+
+- **对称缓存**（既恢复也保存）：带 `cache: pnpm` 的 `actions/setup-node`——`e2e.yml`、`docs-pages.yml`、`pi-ai-provider-e2e.yml`、`build-exe-for-python-sdk.yml`，以及 `ci.yml` 的 node-compat 与两个 benchmark 作业。larger-runner benchmark 通过条件化的 `cache:` 输入让 store 缓存仅限 Linux；consolidated benchmark 在两个平台上都启用缓存。
+- **只恢复不上传／生产者配对**（手写的 `actions/cache` 步骤）：企业 runner 上的三个 PR（Pull Request）作业与基于 Wine 的拉取请求 Windows 作业只恢复不保存，把缓存压缩／上传挡在它们的延迟敏感路径之外——这种不对称是 `setup-node` 的缓存无法表达的。每个作业都在 action 可替换的安装目录之外配置 store，并解析该路径，从而与 master 推送触发的 serial-linux 生产者所用的路径和精确键匹配；企业作业在自托管故障切换期间跳过恢复，因为该 VM 的持久 store 已能直接提供热安装。
+- **无缓存或持久化**（不使用 store 缓存 action）：原生 serial-windows 和 serial-macos 加上 `sandbox.yml` 从冷 store 或 runner 本地 store 安装。自托管热备与故障切换作业复用其 VM 的持久 pnpm store，不传输托管缓存归档。
+
+## 曾考虑的替代方案
+
+- **保留手写步骤。** 它们能用，但那是会各自漂移的设置样板副本，而且对 corepack 的依赖是已知的未来失效点。
+- **把企业作业的缓存也转换成 `cache: pnpm`。** 否决：只恢复不上传的不对称是 `ci.yml` 注释中有记录的延迟决策；为统一工具而抹掉它，属于颠倒优先级。
+- **转换 serial-linux 的 store 缓存。** 实现期间否决：原提案曾把 serial-linux 计入对称设置，但其缓存步骤是企业作业只恢复不上传配对中的生产者一半——把它改成 `setup-node` 的键格式，等于换条路径做了企业作业的转换。
+- **只转换带缓存的工作流，留下其余 `corepack enable` 站点。** 评审跟进时否决：提供 pnpm 与缓存是可分离的关注点，在无缓存作业里留下 corepack 只会保留未来失效点和两套并存的提供方式，毫无收益。
+- **依赖 runner 镜像自带的 Yarn。** 否决：Corepack 移除后，托管镜像提供的是 Yarn 1.22，而 generated-project e2e 要求 Yarn 2 或更高版本。锁定版本的根开发依赖让该项覆盖率不再受 runner 镜像内容影响。
+- **用一个组合 action 包装 action-setup + setup-node。** 暂不采纳：剩余的按作业差异（node 版本矩阵、按平台的条件缓存、只恢复不上传配对）是刻意的政策而非样板——包装层要么长出镜像这些差异的输入，要么抹平一处真实的不对称，而两行的组合已接近下限。
+
+## 后果
+
+- corepack 依赖已从 CI 中彻底消失；pnpm 在所有工作流中都经由 pnpm 团队的官方 action 提供，版本锁定继续单一来源于 `package.json` 的 `packageManager` 字段。
+- generated-project e2e 运行根目录锁定的 Yarn 4 CLI，既不再沿用 runner 镜像中的 Yarn 版本，也不会因此悄然跳过。
+- 已转换泳道的缓存键格式变更了一次；各跑一次冷运行重建缓存后，命中率与旧步骤持平。内建缓存键涵盖平台、架构与锁文件哈希，但不含 Node 版本，因此 node-compat 矩阵的各条腿共享同一条 store 缓存记录——这是安全的，因为 pnpm store 与 Node 版本无关。
+- `setup-node` 内建的 pnpm 缓存只按精确键恢复，没有 `restore-keys` 前缀回退：`pnpm-lock.yaml` 一旦变更，已转换泳道会从冷 store 起步，而不是从上一条缓存记录播种。
+- `pnpm/action-setup` 每次运行都会删除其安装目录，并把默认 store 放在由此产生的 `PNPM_HOME` 下。因此，需要缓存配对或自托管持久化的 Linux 作业会把 `PNPM_CONFIG_STORE_DIR` 设为 `$HOME/.local/share/pnpm/store`，置于 action 目录之外；只恢复不上传的作业与 serial-linux 会解析并共享这一稳定路径及精确键。

 The lane holds the wall clock of the Linux CI jobs through four levers: the master-refreshed pnpm store cache (restore-only, same key as the Linux jobs), Wine provisioning (apt install, Windows Node download, `wineboot`) running concurrently with `pnpm install`, the two blocking surfaces running concurrently — the same shape `run-gates` gives them on native Windows — and an apt-archive cache keyed on the runner image, seeded from master by the `wine apt cache` job so every pull request restores from the default-branch scope.
 
-Four environment constraints shape the job, each found as a red run: Ubuntu's `wine64` package alone puts nothing on PATH (install `wine`, the dispatcher); Node under Wine cannot attach stdio to the Actions runner's pipes (`Socket open EBADF` at bootstrap — every invocation routes stdio through a file); Wine does not realpath pnpm's isolated-layout Unix symlinks (the hoisted layout above); and Wine cannot create Windows symlinks (`ENOTSUP` from VitePress's `linkVue` — the `vue` link is laid down host-side before the gate).
+The gate logic lives in one script, [scripts/wine-windows-gates.sh](../../../../scripts/wine-windows-gates.sh): the ci.yml job provisions runner state (caches, apt Wine) and calls it, and the optional local gate `pnpm run check:windows-wine` runs the identical script on a developer machine that has Wine installed — one implementation, so local reproduction of a red CI lane needs no translation between environments. The local gate is a diagnosis tool, not a routine check: run it only when investigating a known Windows-related failure; CI owns the everyday win32 signal, and [dsh-pre-push-checks](../../../skills/dsh-pre-push-checks/SKILL.md) never selects it. The script never mutates the working tree: it snapshots tracked plus untracked-unignored files into a scratch directory, applies the Wine-specific pnpm overrides to the snapshot only, and installs there against the shared store; the Wine prefix and the checksum-verified Windows Node zip persist under `.cache/wine-windows/` so local reruns skip provisioning, with an offline fallback to the newest cached zip when nodejs.org is unreachable.

The sites: the inner spawn block of `runLoaderSmoke` (`packages/support/loader-smoke/src/index.ts`), `runBuiltBin` in `apps/cli/tests/built-bin.e2e.ts` and `packages/examples/cli-demo/tests/built-bin.e2e.ts`, `runBinExpectingExit` in `packages/examples/acp-demo/tests/built-bin.e2e.ts`, the built-lib e2e helpers in `lsp-local` and `code-runtime-worker`, the outer collector of `examples/tui-agent/tests/pty-harness.ts`, `examples/jsonrpc-agent/tests/keyless-smoke.e2e.ts`, and partially `apps/web/tests/smoke-real.e2e.ts` and `session-checkpoint-policy/tests/crash-recovery.e2e.ts`.
+
+Two related test-infra hand-rolls compounded the case:
+
+- `packages/support/llm-mock-server/src/cli.ts` hand-tokenized 17 value-taking `--flag value` options plus boolean flags (~45–60 lines of loop and value-extraction helpers) where the `node:util` `parseArgs` builtin is already the repo idiom (`cli-demo`, `acp-demo`, `verify-runtime-closure.ts`, `packages/sdk/scripts`).
+- `apps/web/tests/smoke-real.e2e.ts` and `apps/web/tests/scaffold.ts` carried two verbatim copies of a regex `.env` parser (~20 lines) where the `process.loadEnvFile` builtin has exactly the required no-override semantics — and the vitest e2e/snapshot/web configs already load root `.env` with it before these files run, making the copies dead.
+- The snapshot harness hand-rolled three poll-until-deadline loops (`waitForPersistedTurnStart`/`waitForPersistedTurnEnd`/`waitForWorkspaceFile` in `packages/support/acp-snapshot/src/harness.ts`, ~55 lines) plus `waitForFile` in `crash-recovery.e2e.ts`, where `vi.waitFor`/`expect.poll` cover the shape — vitest is already a runtime dependency of `dsh-acp-snapshot`, so this adds nothing.
+
+## Decision
+
+- `execa` is a root devDependency and a runtime dependency of `@deepseek-ai/dsh-loader-smoke` (the one `src/` consumer). The listed spawn-collect-timeout sites run through `await execa(cmd, args, { cwd, env, timeout, killSignal: 'SIGKILL', reject: false })`, whose result reports `{ stdout, stderr, exitCode, signal, timedOut, failed }` as independent fields — matching the repo's own defensive-patterns rule to report orthogonal subprocess outcomes independently. `runLoaderSmoke` passes `input: ''` for its stdin-close contract, and sites whose assertions pin exact stream bytes pass `stripFinalNewline: false`.
+- The genuinely custom parts stay custom on top of an execa-owned subprocess: cli-demo's interrupt-on-marker mid-stream logic, jsonrpc's line-predicate protocol driving, and crash-recovery's SIGKILL-at-failpoint choreography. `smoke-real.e2e.ts` keeps raw `spawn` for its three long-lived interactive servers — ready-line watching across both streams plus a staged SIGTERM→await→SIGKILL teardown are the whole site, so execa would delete nothing there; its share of this note is the dead `.env` parser.
+- `llm-mock-server`'s CLI tokenizes via `parseArgs` (strict, no positionals); numeric coercion, bounds, and cross-option constraints stay manual, and the pinned error-message tests carry `parseArgs`'s own tokenizer texts.
+- Both `loadRootEnv` copies are deleted outright: the owning vitest configs (`vitest.web.config.ts` unconditionally, `vitest.snapshot.config.ts` in record mode) load the repo-root `.env` before those files run.
+- The four poll loops ride `vi.waitFor` with explicit `{ interval, timeout }` and descriptive errors thrown from the callback; `waitForPersistedTurnStart` captures its malformed-record validation error out of the retry loop so it fails the run immediately instead of being retried until the deadline.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **`tinyexec` instead of execa.** Already in `node_modules` transitively via vitest, smaller API — but no kill-escalation, no rich error output embedding, and being transitive is not a contract; if the lighter package is preferred the swap shape is identical.
+- **A repo-local shared spawn helper (no new dep).** Viable and cheaper on supply chain, but it keeps the maintenance of deadline/kill/settlement logic in-repo when a battle-tested package owns exactly this; contrary to the [dependency policy](../process/2026-07-26-dependencies-over-hand-rolling.md), it also has to re-earn cross-platform timeout, termination, and result-normalization behavior that execa already carries.
+- **`get-port`, `wait-on`, `tempy`, `tree-kill`.** Rejected individually: the repo's single port probe is break-even, the file waits are dominated by `vi.waitFor`, temp-dir handling already uses `mkdtemp` + `rm {recursive}` builtins everywhere, and acp-snapshot's `close()` is drain-ordering logic, not tree traversal.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- The hand-rolled collect/timeout blocks are gone, including the two `/* v8 ignore */` un-inducible OS-error branches in `loader-smoke`: spawn and stream failures settle through execa's result fields, so the `src/` file carries no coverage exemptions and the per-file gate covers every remaining branch.
+- Captured output is bounded by execa's default 100 MB `maxBuffer` (overflow terminates the subprocess) where it was previously unbounded; the `loader-smoke` README's limitation entry reflects this.
+- Direct-child timeout termination and exit/signal result normalization are owned by execa across platforms instead of per-site hand-rolls; process-tree termination remains outside these helpers, as the `loader-smoke` README states. Each rewritten suite was re-run on POSIX in this change, and the Windows CI lanes own the other platform.
+- execa is a new root devDependency (previously absent from the lockfile); it is one of the most-depended-on packages on npm and actively maintained, and the exe/runtime closure is unaffected (tests only).
+- The mock-server CLI's tokenizer-level error texts are no longer this repo's to choose: unknown options, missing values, and stray positionals report `parseArgs`'s wording, pinned as such in `tests/cli.spec.ts`.

+# Agent Note: 采用 execa 替换手写的测试子进程管道代码
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-26-execa-for-test-subprocess-plumbing.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+大约十个 e2e/冒烟测试文件各自手工重写过同一套「spawn、收集输出、超时终止」编排：用 `setEncoding` 加 `data` 处理器做 `let stdout = ''` 式累积，用 `setTimeout` → `kill('SIGKILL')` 设定超时截止，再以 `once('exit')`/`once('error')` 结算结果，各处只有细微差别。这些位置是：`runLoaderSmoke` 的内层 spawn 代码块（`packages/support/loader-smoke/src/index.ts`）、`apps/cli/tests/built-bin.e2e.ts` 与 `packages/examples/cli-demo/tests/built-bin.e2e.ts` 中的 `runBuiltBin`、`packages/examples/acp-demo/tests/built-bin.e2e.ts` 中的 `runBinExpectingExit`、`lsp-local` 与 `code-runtime-worker` 中基于构建产物的 e2e 辅助函数、`examples/tui-agent/tests/pty-harness.ts` 的外层收集器、`examples/jsonrpc-agent/tests/keyless-smoke.e2e.ts`，以及部分涉及的 `apps/web/tests/smoke-real.e2e.ts` 和 `session-checkpoint-policy/tests/crash-recovery.e2e.ts`。
+
+另有两处相关的测试基础设施手写代码进一步强化了替换的理由：
+
+- `packages/support/llm-mock-server/src/cli.ts` 曾手工逐个切分 17 个带值的 `--flag value` 选项外加若干布尔标志（约 45–60 行的循环与取值辅助函数），而 `node:util` 内置的 `parseArgs` 早已是本仓库的惯用写法（`cli-demo`、`acp-demo`、`verify-runtime-closure.ts`、`packages/sdk/scripts`）。
+- `apps/web/tests/smoke-real.e2e.ts` 与 `apps/web/tests/scaffold.ts` 曾携带两份逐字相同的正则 `.env` 解析器拷贝（约 20 行），而内置的 `process.loadEnvFile` 恰好具备所需的「不覆盖已有值」语义；并且 vitest 的 e2e/snapshot/web 配置在这些文件运行之前就已用它加载了根 `.env`，这两份拷贝实为死代码。
+- 快照 harness 曾手写三个「轮询直到截止时间」的循环（`packages/support/acp-snapshot/src/harness.ts` 中的 `waitForPersistedTurnStart`/`waitForPersistedTurnEnd`/`waitForWorkspaceFile`，约 55 行），外加 `crash-recovery.e2e.ts` 中的 `waitForFile`，而 `vi.waitFor`/`expect.poll` 正好覆盖这种形态；vitest 本来就是 `dsh-acp-snapshot` 的运行时依赖，因此这不新增任何东西。
+
+## 决定
+
+- `execa` 是根 devDependency，同时是 `@deepseek-ai/dsh-loader-smoke`（唯一的 `src/` 消费者）的运行时依赖。上述 spawn、收集、超时的代码位置统一经由 `await execa(cmd, args, { cwd, env, timeout, killSignal: 'SIGKILL', reject: false })` 运行：其结果以相互独立的字段报告 `{ stdout, stderr, exitCode, signal, timedOut, failed }`，与本仓库防御模式中「正交的子进程结果各自独立上报」的规则一致。`runLoaderSmoke` 传 `input: ''` 以兑现其 stdin 关闭契约；断言固定精确流字节的位置传 `stripFinalNewline: false`。
+- 真正定制的部分继续保持定制，只是架在 execa 拥有的子进程之上：cli-demo 在流中遇到标记即中断的逻辑、jsonrpc 基于行谓词的协议驱动，以及 crash-recovery 在故障点发送 SIGKILL 的编排。`smoke-real.e2e.ts` 的三个长驻交互式服务器保留原生 `spawn`——跨双流监听就绪行加上分级的 SIGTERM→等待→SIGKILL 拆除就是该处的全部内容，execa 在那里删不掉任何东西；它在本 note 中的份额是那份死的 `.env` 解析器。
+- `llm-mock-server` 的 CLI 经由 `parseArgs` 切分（strict、不允许位置参数）；数值转换、边界检查与跨选项约束仍手工实现，被固定的错误消息测试改为携带 `parseArgs` 自己的切分器文本。
+- 两份 `loadRootEnv` 拷贝被整体删除：拥有它们的 vitest 配置（`vitest.web.config.ts` 无条件、`vitest.snapshot.config.ts` 在 record 模式下）在这些文件运行之前就加载了仓库根部的 `.env`。
+- 那四个轮询循环改乘 `vi.waitFor`，显式传入 `{ interval, timeout }`，并在回调中抛出带描述信息的错误；`waitForPersistedTurnStart` 把「持久化记录格式非法」的校验错误捕获到重试循环之外，使其立即让运行失败，而不是被重试到截止时间。
+
+## 曾考虑的替代方案
+
+- **用 `tinyexec` 代替 execa。**它已经作为 vitest 的传递依赖存在于 `node_modules` 中，API 也更小；但它没有终止信号逐级升级，不会把丰富的输出嵌入错误对象，而且传递依赖并不构成契约。如果最终更倾向这个更轻的包，替换的形态完全相同。
+- **仓库内共享的 spawn 辅助函数（不引入新依赖）。**可行，供应链成本也更低，但当一个久经实战的包恰好负责这件事时，它把截止时限、终止与结算逻辑的维护留在了仓库内；这与[依赖策略](../process/2026-07-26-dependencies-over-hand-rolling.md)背道而驰，它还得重新踩坑换来 execa 已经自带的跨平台超时、终止与结果规范化行为。
+- **`get-port`、`wait-on`、`tempy`、`tree-kill`。**逐一不予采纳：仓库仅有的一处端口探测替换后收支相抵；文件等待场景已由 `vi.waitFor` 更优地覆盖；临时目录处理在各处已经使用内置的 `mkdtemp` + `rm {recursive}`；acp-snapshot 的 `close()` 是排空顺序逻辑，不是进程树遍历。
+
+## 后果
+
+- 手写的收集/超时代码块全部移除，包括 `loader-smoke` 中两个标注 `/* v8 ignore */`、无法人为诱发的 OS 错误分支：spawn 与流故障如今经由 execa 的结果字段结算，这个 `src/` 文件不再携带任何覆盖率豁免，逐文件门禁覆盖其余全部分支。
+- 捕获的输出如今受 execa 默认 100 MB `maxBuffer` 约束（溢出即终止子进程），此前是无界的；`loader-smoke` README 的局限条目反映了这一点。
+- 直接子进程的超时终止以及退出/信号结果规范化均由 execa 跨平台负责，不再逐处手写；如 `loader-smoke` README 所述，这些辅助函数依然不负责终止进程树。每个改写后的套件在本次变更中已在 POSIX 上重新运行，另一平台由 Windows CI 车道负责。
+- execa 是新增的根 devDependency（此前完全不存在于 lockfile 中）；它是 npm 上被依赖最多的包之一且维护活跃，exe/运行时闭包不受影响（仅测试使用）。
+- mock-server CLI 切分器层面的错误文本不再由本仓库决定：未知选项、缺失取值与多余位置参数报告 `parseArgs` 的措辞，并在 `tests/cli.spec.ts` 中如此固定。

-# Agent Note: Use pnpm/action-setup for symmetric CI pnpm caching
-
-Status: proposed
-
-English | [中文](2026-07-26-pnpm-action-setup-for-symmetric-ci-caching.zh.md)
-
-## Problem
-
-Five workflows repeat a hand-rolled three-step pnpm setup — `corepack enable`, `pnpm store path --silent >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT`, then `actions/cache@v4` keyed on `pnpm-lock.yaml`: `e2e.yml`, `docs-pages.yml`, `pi-ai-provider-e2e.yml`, `build-exe-for-python-sdk.yml`, and the node-compat, serial-linux, and benchmark jobs of `ci.yml` (~40–60 YAML lines total). The maintained equivalent — `pnpm/action-setup@v4` (reads `packageManager` from package.json) plus `actions/setup-node` with `cache: pnpm` — is already proven in-repo in `landlock-run.yml`, and also insulates against corepack's removal from newer Node distributions.
-
-## Proposal
-
-Convert the symmetric-cache workflows to `pnpm/action-setup@v4` + `setup-node` `cache: pnpm`. Explicitly do NOT convert:
-
-- the three enterprise-runner PR jobs in `ci.yml` — they deliberately use `actions/cache/restore` only, keeping cache compression/upload off the paid latency-critical path, an asymmetry `setup-node`'s cache cannot express;
-- the Windows job, which deliberately skips the store cache.
-
-## Alternatives considered
-
-- **Keep the hand-rolled steps.** They work, but they are five drifting copies of setup boilerplate, and the corepack dependency is a known future break.
-- **Convert everything including the enterprise jobs.** Rejected: the restore-only asymmetry is a documented latency decision in `ci.yml`'s comments; erasing it to unify tooling inverts the priority.
-
-## Acceptance criteria
-
-- The five symmetric workflows set up pnpm via the actions; one cold run per lane repopulates the new cache-key format, after which cache hit rates match the old steps.
-- The enterprise-runner PR jobs and the Windows job are untouched.
-
-## Risks
-
-- Cache-key format changes once (one cold run per lane).
-- A third-party action in more workflows; it is already trusted in-repo (`landlock-run.yml`) and is the pnpm team's official action.

-# Agent Note: 用 pnpm/action-setup 实现对称的 CI pnpm 缓存
-
-Status: proposed
-
-[English](2026-07-26-pnpm-action-setup-for-symmetric-ci-caching.md) | 中文
-
-## 问题
-
-五个工作流重复着同一套手写（hand-rolled）的三步 pnpm 设置——`corepack enable`、`pnpm store path --silent >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT`、再加以 `pnpm-lock.yaml` 为缓存键的 `actions/cache@v4`：`e2e.yml`、`docs-pages.yml`、`pi-ai-provider-e2e.yml`、`build-exe-for-python-sdk.yml`，以及 `ci.yml` 的 node-compat、serial-linux 与 benchmark 作业（合计约 40–60 行 YAML）。与之等价、由官方维护的做法——`pnpm/action-setup@v4`（从 package.json 读取 `packageManager`）加带 `cache: pnpm` 的 `actions/setup-node`——已在仓库内的 `landlock-run.yml` 中得到验证，同时还能隔绝 corepack 被从较新 Node 发行版中移除的影响。
-
-## 提案
-
-将各对称缓存工作流改为 `pnpm/action-setup@v4` + `setup-node` `cache: pnpm`。以下明确不做转换：
-
-- `ci.yml` 中运行在企业 runner 上的三个 PR（Pull Request）作业——它们刻意只用 `actions/cache/restore`，把缓存压缩/上传挡在付费且延迟敏感的关键路径之外，这种不对称是 `setup-node` 的缓存无法表达的；
-- Windows 作业，它刻意跳过 store 缓存。
-
-## 曾考虑的替代方案
-
-- **保留手写步骤。** 它们能用，但那是五份会各自漂移的设置样板副本，而且对 corepack 的依赖是已知的未来失效点。
-- **连企业作业在内全部转换。** 否决：只恢复不上传（restore-only）的不对称是 `ci.yml` 注释中有记录的延迟决策；为统一工具而抹掉它，属于颠倒优先级。
-
-## 验收标准
-
-- 五个对称工作流经由上述 action 完成 pnpm 设置；每条泳道各跑一次冷运行以重建新的缓存键格式，此后缓存命中率与旧步骤持平。
-- 企业 runner 上的 PR 作业与 Windows 作业保持原样不动。
-
-## 风险
-
-- 缓存键格式变更一次（每条泳道各一次冷运行）。
-- 更多工作流引入一个第三方 action；它已在仓库内获得信任（`landlock-run.yml`），且是 pnpm 团队的官方 action。

-
-Roughly ten e2e/smoke files re-derive the same spawn-collect-timeout choreography by hand: `let stdout = ''` accumulation with `setEncoding` and `data` handlers, a `setTimeout` → `kill('SIGKILL')` deadline, and `once('exit')`/`once('error')` settlement, each with small variations.

Net deletable: ~100–150 lines of test infrastructure.
-
-Two related test-infra hand-rolls compound the case:
-
-- `packages/support/llm-mock-server/src/cli.ts` hand-tokenizes 17 value-taking `--flag value` options plus boolean flags (~45–60 lines of loop and value-extraction helpers) where the `node:util` `parseArgs` builtin is already the repo idiom (`cli-demo`, `acp-demo`, `verify-runtime-closure.ts`, `packages/sdk/scripts`).
-- `apps/web/tests/smoke-real.e2e.ts` and `apps/web/tests/scaffold.ts` carry two verbatim copies of a regex `.env` parser (~20 lines) where the `process.loadEnvFile` builtin has exactly the required no-override semantics — and the vitest e2e/snapshot/web configs already load root `.env` with it before these files run, making the copies arguably dead.
-- The snapshot harness hand-rolls three poll-until-deadline loops (`waitForPersistedTurnStart`/`waitForPersistedTurnEnd`/`waitForWorkspaceFile` in `packages/support/acp-snapshot/src/harness.ts`, ~55 lines) plus `waitForFile` in `crash-recovery.e2e.ts`, where `vi.waitFor`/`expect.poll` cover the shape — vitest is already a runtime dependency of `dsh-acp-snapshot`, so this adds nothing.
-
-## Proposal
-
-- Add `execa` as a root devDependency and rewrite the spawn-collect-timeout sites onto `await execa(cmd, args, { cwd, env, timeout, killSignal: 'SIGKILL', reject: false })`, whose result reports `{ stdout, stderr, exitCode, signal, timedOut }` as independent fields — matching the repo's own defensive-patterns rule to report orthogonal subprocess outcomes independently. Keep the genuinely custom parts custom: cli-demo's interrupt-on-marker mid-stream logic, jsonrpc's line-predicate protocol driving, and crash-recovery's SIGKILL-at-failpoint choreography.
-- Swap `llm-mock-server`'s CLI tokenizer for `parseArgs` (numeric coercion, bounds, and cross-option constraints stay manual; pinned error-message texts update with the tests).
-- Delete both `loadRootEnv` copies in favor of `process.loadEnvFile` in a try/catch, or remove them outright if the vitest-config loading already covers them.
-- Replace the four poll loops with `vi.waitFor`/`expect.poll`, passing explicit `{ interval, timeout }` and throwing descriptive errors from the callback.
-
-## Alternatives considered
-
-- **`tinyexec` instead of execa.** Already in `node_modules` transitively via vitest, smaller API — but no kill-escalation, no rich error output embedding, and being transitive is not a contract; if the lighter package is preferred the swap shape is identical.
-- **A repo-local shared spawn helper (no new dep).** Viable and cheaper on supply chain, but it keeps the maintenance of deadline/kill/settlement logic in-repo when a battle-tested package owns exactly this; contrary to the [dependency policy](../../implemented/process/2026-07-26-dependencies-over-hand-rolling.md), it also has to re-earn Windows behavior (taskkill, exit codes) that execa already carries.

-
-## Acceptance criteria
-
-- The listed sites spawn through execa (or the chosen equivalent); the hand-rolled collect/timeout blocks and the two `/* v8 ignore */` un-inducible OS-error branches in `loader-smoke` are gone.
-- `llm-mock-server` CLI parses via `parseArgs`; its cli spec passes with updated message expectations.
-- No hand-rolled `.env` parser remains under `apps/web/tests`.
-- The affected e2e and snapshot suites pass on both POSIX and Windows CI lanes.
-
-## Risks
-
-- `loader-smoke` is a `src/` file under the per-file-100% coverage gate; the swap actually simplifies its coverage story (removes un-inducible branches) but the new call shape needs coverage.
-- Each rewritten e2e must be re-run on both platforms; subtle differences in kill escalation or stdin-close semantics (`input: ''` for loader-smoke's stdin-close contract) are the risk to verify per site.
-- execa is a new root devDependency (currently absent from the lockfile entirely); it is one of the most-depended-on packages on npm and actively maintained, so health is not a concern, but the exe/runtime closure is unaffected either way (tests only).

-## 问题
-
-大约十个 e2e/冒烟测试文件各自手工重写同一套「spawn、收集输出、超时终止」编排：用 `setEncoding` 加 `data` 处理器做 `let stdout = ''` 式累积，用 `setTimeout` → `kill('SIGKILL')` 设定超时截止，再以 `once('exit')`/`once('error')` 结算结果，各处只有细微差别。这些位置是：`runLoaderSmoke` 的内层 spawn 代码块（`packages/support/loader-smoke/src/index.ts`）、`apps/cli/tests/built-bin.e2e.ts` 与 `packages/examples/cli-demo/tests/built-bin.e2e.ts` 中的 `runBuiltBin`、`packages/examples/acp-demo/tests/built-bin.e2e.ts` 中的 `runBinExpectingExit`、`lsp-local` 与 `code-runtime-worker` 中基于构建产物的 e2e 辅助函数、`examples/tui-agent/tests/pty-harness.ts` 的外层收集器、`examples/jsonrpc-agent/tests/keyless-smoke.e2e.ts`，以及部分涉及的 `apps/web/tests/smoke-real.e2e.ts` 和 `session-checkpoint-policy/tests/crash-recovery.e2e.ts`。净可删除量：约 100–150 行测试基础设施代码。
-
-另有两处相关的测试基础设施手写代码进一步强化了替换的理由：
-
-- `packages/support/llm-mock-server/src/cli.ts` 手工逐个切分 17 个带值的 `--flag value` 选项外加若干布尔标志（约 45–60 行的循环与取值辅助函数），而 `node:util` 内置的 `parseArgs` 早已是本仓库的惯用写法（`cli-demo`、`acp-demo`、`verify-runtime-closure.ts`、`packages/sdk/scripts`）。
-- `apps/web/tests/smoke-real.e2e.ts` 与 `apps/web/tests/scaffold.ts` 携带两份逐字相同的正则 `.env` 解析器拷贝（约 20 行），而内置的 `process.loadEnvFile` 恰好具备所需的「不覆盖已有值」语义；并且 vitest 的 e2e/snapshot/web 配置在这些文件运行之前就已用它加载了根 `.env`，这两份拷贝几乎可以视为死代码。
-- 快照 harness 手写了三个「轮询直到截止时间」的循环（`packages/support/acp-snapshot/src/harness.ts` 中的 `waitForPersistedTurnStart`/`waitForPersistedTurnEnd`/`waitForWorkspaceFile`，约 55 行），外加 `crash-recovery.e2e.ts` 中的 `waitForFile`，而 `vi.waitFor`/`expect.poll` 正好覆盖这种形态；vitest 本来就是 `dsh-acp-snapshot` 的运行时依赖，因此这不新增任何东西。
-
-## 提案
-
-- 将 `execa` 添加为根 devDependency，把上述 spawn、收集、超时的代码位置改写到 `await execa(cmd, args, { cwd, env, timeout, killSignal: 'SIGKILL', reject: false })` 上：其结果以相互独立的字段报告 `{ stdout, stderr, exitCode, signal, timedOut }`，与本仓库防御模式中「正交的子进程结果各自独立上报」的规则一致。真正定制的部分继续保持定制：cli-demo 在流中遇到标记即中断的逻辑、jsonrpc 基于行谓词的协议驱动，以及 crash-recovery 在故障点发送 SIGKILL 的编排。
-- 把 `llm-mock-server` 的 CLI 切分器换成 `parseArgs`（数值转换、边界检查与跨选项约束仍手工实现；被固定的错误消息文本随测试一并更新）。
-- 删除两份 `loadRootEnv` 拷贝，改用包在 try/catch 中的 `process.loadEnvFile`；如果 vitest 配置的加载已经覆盖了它们，则直接整体移除。
-- 用 `vi.waitFor`/`expect.poll` 替换那四个轮询循环，显式传入 `{ interval, timeout }`，并在回调中抛出带描述信息的错误。
-
-## 曾考虑的替代方案
-
-- **用 `tinyexec` 代替 execa。**它已经作为 vitest 的传递依赖存在于 `node_modules` 中，API 也更小；但它没有终止信号逐级升级，不会把丰富的输出嵌入错误对象，而且传递依赖并不构成契约。如果最终更倾向这个更轻的包，替换的形态完全相同。
-- **仓库内共享的 spawn 辅助函数（不引入新依赖）。**可行，供应链成本也更低，但当一个久经实战的包恰好负责这件事时，它把截止时限、终止与结算逻辑的维护留在了仓库内；这与[依赖策略](../../implemented/process/2026-07-26-dependencies-over-hand-rolling.md)背道而驰，它还得重新踩坑换来 execa 已经自带的 Windows 行为（taskkill、退出码）。
-- **`get-port`、`wait-on`、`tempy`、`tree-kill`。**逐一不予采纳：仓库仅有的一处端口探测替换后收支相抵；文件等待场景已由 `vi.waitFor` 更优地覆盖；临时目录处理在各处已经使用内置的 `mkdtemp` + `rm {recursive}`；acp-snapshot 的 `close()` 是排空顺序逻辑，不是进程树遍历。
-
-## 验收标准
-
-- 所列位置全部通过 execa（或最终选定的等价包）spawn 子进程；手写的收集/超时代码块，连同 `loader-smoke` 中两个标注 `/* v8 ignore */`、无法人为诱发的 OS 错误分支，全部移除。
-- `llm-mock-server` 的 CLI 经由 `parseArgs` 解析；其 cli 测试文件在更新消息期望后通过。
-- `apps/web/tests` 下不再存在手写的 `.env` 解析器。
-- 受影响的 e2e 与快照测试套件在 POSIX 与 Windows 两条 CI 车道上均通过。
-
-## 风险
-
-- `loader-smoke` 是逐文件 100% 覆盖率门禁下的 `src/` 文件；这次替换实际上简化了它的覆盖率问题（移除了无法人为诱发的分支），但新的调用形态需要补齐覆盖。
-- 每个改写后的 e2e 都必须在两个平台上重新运行；终止信号升级或 stdin 关闭语义上的细微差异（loader-smoke 的 stdin 关闭契约对应 `input: ''`）是需要逐处核验的风险。
-- execa 是新增的根 devDependency（当前完全不存在于 lockfile 中）；它是 npm 上被依赖最多的包之一且维护活跃，健康度不是顾虑；至于 exe/运行时闭包，无论选哪个包都不受影响（仅测试使用）。

The direction is forced — js-yaml cannot replace `yaml` (sdk-helper needs the Document API) — but migrating the js-yaml sites cannot retire the library either (the vendored include pins it) and would put two parsers in charge of one dialect that must agree exactly, against the [personal-config note](../../implemented/feature/2026-07-20-dsh-cli-personal-config.md)'s deliberate load-only-copy parity. Deletable: ~20–25 lines of duplicate tag definitions and two `@types/js-yaml` entries. The consolidation moment is a future include sync, not now.

 ## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
 
 - **Built mode requires a prior build** — the config must also resolve every named package upward through `examples/node_modules`.
-- **Captured stdout and stderr are unbounded** — a runaway child can consume memory until the deadline kills it.
+- **Captured stdout and stderr are bounded only by execa's default 100 MB `maxBuffer`** — a runaway child is terminated at that ceiling rather than at a smoke-chosen budget.
 - **Timeout kills only the direct child** — a process tree spawned by a faulty fixture can outlive the smoke and needs external cleanup.

 ## 已知限制与待完成工作
 
 - **构建 mode 需要事先构建**：配置还必须能够通过 `examples/node_modules` 向上解析每个命名包。
-- **捕获的 stdout 和 stderr 无界**：失控子进程可以消耗内存，直到 deadline 将其终止。
+- **捕获的 stdout 和 stderr 仅受 execa 默认 100 MB `maxBuffer` 约束**：失控子进程会在该上限处被终止，而不是在冒烟测试自选的预算处。
 - **超时只终止直接子进程**：故障 fixture 生成的进程树可以比冒烟测试存活更久，需要外部清理。

+# Run the blocking Windows gates (workspace build, production site) with real
+# win-x64 Node.js under Wine — the same script the pull-request `windows` job
+# in ci.yml executes and the optional local gate `pnpm run check:windows-wine`
+# wraps. Owning rationale, fidelity limits, and measured timings:
+# .agents/notes/implemented/process/2026-07-27-wine-windows-gates-experiment.md

+# The working tree is never mutated: tracked plus untracked-unignored files
+# are snapshotted into a scratch directory, the Wine-specific pnpm overrides
+# (hoisted layout, win32-x64 platform packages) are appended to the SNAPSHOT's
+# pnpm-workspace.yaml, and the install and gates run there against the shared
+# pnpm store. The Wine prefix and the checksum-verified Windows Node zip
+# persist in .cache/wine-windows/ so reruns skip provisioning.
