- Reasoning has a home without provider contortions. Multimodal content deliberately has NO core block type: the core set is limited to blocks every shipping path honors, and a multimodal feature adds its block type through the merge-extensible map in the same coordinated change that maps it in the adapters, surfaces it in the UI bridges, and prices it in compaction — see [the drop-image RFC](../simplification/2026-07-04-drop-image-content-block.md). Block cache hints likewise have no core field: DeepSeek prompt caching is automatic, so no shipping adapter can transmit a hint; a caching feature adds a `cache` field together with the adapter that honors it — see [the producer-less-variants RFC](../simplification/2026-07-04-prune-producerless-vocabulary-variants.md). Assistant-prefix continuation (prefill) likewise has no request field: DeepSeek's chat-prefix completion is a Beta feature on a base URL neither shipping adapter targets, so a prefill feature adds `GenerateOptions.prefill` together with the adapter that honors it — see [the inert-request-knobs RFC](../simplification/2026-07-04-drop-inert-request-knobs.md).
- Every adapter pays a translation cost; the first real adapters have since validated the streaming protocol, and new adapters should continue proving their provider-specific mapping in adapter-local tests.

@@ -23,7 +23,7 @@ Key choices recorded here because they are durable, contested, and surprising:
- **Append-only; a crashed turn is closed, never truncated.** Committed events — those at or below a flushed `turn/end` — are never rewritten. The loop only flushes at `turn/end`, so a crash can leave a durable log whose final turn never closed: real, fully-written events sit after the last `turn/end`. **A single turn can be huge in a long-horizon task** (many steps, large tool output spanning a long autonomous run), so discarding the interrupted turn would silently destroy a large amount of real work — truncating a turn is wrong. Instead, on reload `load` PRESERVES those events and CLOSES the orphaned turn by durably appending the minimal synthetic boundary events: an error `tool/result` for every `tool-call` the crash left unanswered, then a `step/end` if a step was still open, then a `turn/end` carrying the merge-extensible `{ kind: 'interrupted' }` reason (a marker that records the turn was cut short by a crash, not completed by the model — no loop ever emits it). The synthetic tool results matter for resume correctness: the loop logs the `assistant/message` (carrying the `tool-call` blocks) BEFORE running the tools, so a crash mid-tool leaves calls without results; `deriveMessages()` would then replay a dangling assistant tool-call, which every provider rejects as an invalid transcript on the next request. Answering each orphaned call with an error result keeps the rehydrated history valid. `load` returns the balanced log, so a resumed session is immediately usable. The ONLY thing discarded is a never-fully-written **torn tail fragment** — a final record whose bytes (JSONL) or row were never completely flushed; that fragment is not a valid event and is dropped before the synthetic closers are written. A parse error or `seq` gap in the COMMITTED region (at or before the last real `turn/end`) is genuine corruption and makes the session unloadable.
- **File backend canonical, DB backend a proven drop-in.** `SessionEvent` maps 1:1 onto a row `(session_id, seq, type, time, data)` — `append` is INSERT (in a transaction asserting the contiguous-seq contract), `load` is SELECT … ORDER BY seq. `dsh-session-persistence-sqlite` is exactly this: a `SessionPersistence` subclass with no interface change (opencode runs this exact shape on SQLite/WAL), and it passes the same `runPersistenceContract` suite as the JSONL backend — so the contract holds both backends to identical semantics (lazy materialization, interrupted-turn close on load, contiguous-seq), expressed once over file bytes and once over rows.
- **Metadata is out-of-log.** Format version, cwd, and lineage are storage concerns, not replayable conversation state, so they live in a `SessionHeader` owned by `dsh-session` and attached to a `Session` via a new readonly `session.header` — never in `SessionEventMap`, never reaching `deriveMessages()`. The alternative (a merge-extensible `session/meta` event as log line 0) was rejected: an in-log event would ride along with a seeded/forked session for free, but metadata is not replayable state, so the explicit out-of-log header seam is the cleaner cost. (The header was originally split into an immutable `SessionHeader` plus a mutable `SessionSummary` whose union was `SessionMeta`; the mutable summary was later removed as dead state — see [Drop the mutable session summary](../simplification/2026-06-19-drop-mutable-session-summary.md).)
- **`ctx.agents.create()` and `ctx.agents.resume()` are async factories; resume additionally crosses the persistence boundary.** `ctx.agents.resume({ resumeSessionId })` awaits `ctx.sessionPersistence.load`, recreates the live session with the loaded events (so `lastTurnNumber`/`deriveMessages` continue), and starts a fresh agent on the resumed id (NOT `${agentId}-session`). The agent-loop does NOT hard-inject `sessionPersistence` (that would pend non-persistent demos forever); `resume` rejects with a clear error when it is absent.

## Problem
The harness already brands three identifiers — `CallId` (`packages/llm/llm/src/brand.ts`), `SessionId` (`packages/core/session/src/types.ts`), and `AgentId` (`packages/core/agent/src/types.ts`) — using the `Branded<B> = string & { readonly [BRAND]: B }` machinery (owned by the type-only `@deepseek-ai/dsh-brand` package at `packages/util/brand/` — see its [README](../../../../packages/util/brand/README.md)) and a zero-cost cast factory per type. `dsh-brand` also states the governing policy: *"Branding is for ids that cross package boundaries and could plausibly be confused; not every string needs a brand."* That policy is right; the problem is that it is only half-applied. Two gaps let a structurally-identical-but-semantically-wrong string slip through the type checker today.

Two gaps let a structurally-identical-but-semantically-wrong string slip through the type checker today.
**Gap 1 — unbranded cross-boundary IDs in the bash seam.** The background-task id is a plain `string`: `BashTask.id: string` (`packages/bash/bash/src/types.ts`), carried as `string` through the whole executor seam (`BashExecutor.get`/`ownerOf`/`readOutput`/`kill(id: string)` in `packages/bash/bash/src/index.ts`) and validated/passed as `string` by the model-facing tools (`validateTaskId`, `assertTaskAccess`, the `task_id` schema arg in `packages/bash/tool-bash/src/index.ts`). It is generated by a per-executor counter — `` `bash-${this.nextTaskId++}` `` in `packages/bash/bash-local/src/index.ts` — which gives it **exactly the same `name-N` shape as `SessionId`'s default** (`` `session-${++counter}` `` in `packages/core/session/src/index.ts`). A bash task id and a session id are trivially swappable at a call site and the compiler says nothing. This is the headline case the user asked about, and it is a model-facing id (the model passes `task_id` back to `bash_output`/`bash_kill`), so a confusion here is reachable from untrusted input.
The bash **owner token** is the related sub-case: `BashExecRequest.owner?: string` and `BashExecSpec.owner: string | undefined` (`packages/bash/bash/src/types.ts`) are documented as a deliberately *opaque* isolation key, but in every live caller the value IS the owning agent's `session.header.id` (`callerToken = (exec) => exec.agent?.session.header.id` in `packages/bash/tool-bash/src/index.ts`) — i.e. a `SessionId` wearing a `string` disguise. It is compared for access control (`owner !== callerToken(exec)`), so a mismatched-but-well-typed string here is a cross-session isolation bug the type system currently cannot catch. This is the same `session.header.id`-as-owner alias that the [unify-the-agent-id-and-the-session-id](../../proposed/simplification/2026-06-20-unify-agent-and-session-id.md) proposal calls the "bash owner-token alias hole".
**Gap 2 — brand erosion at the seams of the *already-branded* IDs.** Even `CallId`/`SessionId`/`AgentId` decay back to bare `string` at exactly the places confusion is most likely: the registry/store `Map` key types and most public method params. Representative sites: `SessionStore.store = new Map<string, Session>()` and `create`/`prepare(id?: string)`/`get(id: string)` (`packages/core/session/src/index.ts`); `AgentRegistry.store = new Map<string, Agent>()` and `register`/`get(id: string)` (`packages/core/agent/src/index.ts`); `ToolPresenter.pending = new Map<string, …>()` keyed by call id and `call(callId: string)`/`result(callId: string)` (`packages/ui/acp/src/index.ts`); the ACP session-id surface beyond the store map — `SessionRecord.sessionId: string`, `bySession = new WeakMap<Agent, string>()`, `loadingIds = new Set<string>()`, `requireSession(sessionId: string)`, and the exported `streamSessionEventUpdate(sessionId: string, …)` (`packages/ui/acp/src/index.ts`); and the persistence coordinator's `Map<string, …>` keyed by session id (`packages/session-persistence/session-persistence/src/coordinator.ts`). A brand that is dropped at the `Map` key buys nothing on lookups — the value of the existing brands is partly unrealized.

## Decision
A type-only change. Brands are zero-cost casts; nothing about runtime behavior, serialization, comparison, or the wire format changes. The work is in three parts, all honoring the existing "not every string" policy.
- **Brand the bash task id.** Add `BashTaskId = Branded<'BashTaskId'>` plus its same-named factory in `packages/bash/bash/src/types.ts` (the package that *owns* the id), importing `Branded` from `@deepseek-ai/dsh-brand` exactly as `SessionId`/`AgentId` already do. The brand primitive lives in the dependency-free `dsh-brand` utility package precisely so `dsh-bash` can brand its ids by depending on it alone — it never pulls in `dsh-llm` (or `dsh-session`) just to reach `Branded`. Thread it through `BashTask.id`, the `BashExecutor` seam methods (`get`/`ownerOf`/`readOutput`/`kill`), the generation site in `dsh-bash-local` (brand the counter output once, at creation), and the `dsh-tool-bash` validate/access surface (`validateTaskId` returns a `BashTaskId`; `task_id` is branded at the tool boundary where the model's string arrives).
- **Brand the bash task id.** Add `BashTaskId = Branded<'BashTaskId'>` plus its same-named factory in `packages/bash/bash/src/types.ts` (the package that *owns* the id), importing `Branded` from `@deepseek-ai/dsh-brand` exactly as `SessionId` does. The brand primitive lives in the dependency-free `dsh-brand` utility package precisely so `dsh-bash` can brand its ids by depending on it alone — it never pulls in `dsh-llm` (or `dsh-session`) just to reach `Branded`. Thread it through `BashTask.id`, the `BashExecutor` seam methods (`get`/`ownerOf`/`readOutput`/`kill`), the generation site in `dsh-bash-local` (brand the counter output once, at creation), and the `dsh-tool-bash` validate/access surface (`validateTaskId` returns a `BashTaskId`; `task_id` is branded at the tool boundary where the model's string arrives).
- **Mint a distinct `OwnerToken` brand.** Add `OwnerToken = Branded<'OwnerToken'>` in `packages/bash/bash/src/types.ts`; type `BashExecRequest.owner` / `BashExecSpec.owner` / `BashExecutor.ownerOf` as `OwnerToken | undefined`. The `dsh-tool-bash` consumer casts the agent's `session.header.id` (a `SessionId`) into an `OwnerToken` at the boundary — the one place the two vocabularies meet. The bash seam never imports `dsh-session`. (Rationale in the next section.)
- **Stop the brand erosion.** Propagate the existing brands to the `Map` key types and public method params listed under Gap 2 — `Map<SessionId, Session>`, `get(id: SessionId)`, `Map<AgentId, Agent>`, `Map<CallId, …>`, the ACP `SessionRecord.sessionId: SessionId` surface, the coordinator's `Map<SessionId, …>`. This is the larger mechanical share of the diff and the part that makes the *existing* brands actually load-bearing on lookups, not just on the struct fields.

The landed invariants: `BashTaskId` and `OwnerToken` are defined in `dsh-bash` and threaded end-to-end (executor seam, the `dsh-bash-local` generation site, the `dsh-tool-bash` model-facing surface) with no `dsh-bash` dependency on `dsh-session`; no collection keyed by an in-scope branded id (`CallId`/`SessionId`/`AgentId`/`BashTaskId`) is keyed by bare `string` — `Map` keys, `WeakMap` value slots, `Set` membership (the ACP `bySession`/`loadingIds`), public method params, and exported signatures (`streamSessionEventUpdate`) all take the brand; and brands are constructed via the cast factory at each boundary where a raw string enters (provider call id, ACP session id, model-supplied `task_id`), never as scattered `as` casts.

**The boundary rule:** a durable, replayable fact is a `SessionEvent`; a live interception or a transient/live-object signal is an `agent`/`tools` Cordis event. A turn or step boundary is a durable fact, so it lives in the session log and is read off the `session/event` feed — it is NOT mirrored as an `agent/*` emit.
**Applying the rule to the boundary twins:** all four boundary mirrors — `agent/turn-start`, `agent/turn-end`, `agent/step-start`, `agent/step-end` — are **REMOVED**. No production consumer needs the live `Agent` at a boundary: the ACP bridge settles from `session/event` `turn/end` plus `agent/status`, and the only turn-mirror consumer (`dsh-ui-stdio`, a disposable test REPL) was migrated to render boundaries from `session/event`, recovering the short agent label from an `agent/created`→id map. The step mirrors were removed first (they had no consumer at all); the turn mirrors followed once ui-stdio was migrated — see [the remove-boundary-mirror-events RFC](../simplification/2026-06-20-remove-agent-boundary-mirror-events.md), which owns that decision. Removing the emits also simplifies the loop's `closeStep`/`closeTurn` (one append each, no paired emit).
