docs(bash): reframe stdin/env — the scrub is the security control, not a trust boundary
Address review: the "trusted-plugin surface" framing overstated the security story. A model driving the `bash` tool already has equivalent power to set env vars and feed stdin through ordinary shell syntax (`FOO=bar cmd`, heredocs), so the `env`/`stdin` seam fields grant it no new capability — and they cannot exfiltrate the harness's ambient credentials, because the credential SCRUB in dsh-bash-local (which strips *KEY*/*SECRET*/*TOKEN* from process.env before the child sees it) is the actual control, and it works regardless of these fields (tool-call args are static JSON, never shell-evaluated). So drop the "dangerous / trusted-plugin boundary" language across the RFC, the three bash-package READMEs, the bash/src/types.ts JSDoc, and docs/bash.md (both the type-equiv blocks — kept 1:1 with source — and the prose). The reality that remains: the `bash` tool doesn't EXPOSE env/stdin as parameters because they'd be redundant with shell syntax; the fields exist for in-process plugins (the hooks bridges) to pass a JSON payload + CLAUDE_* vars cleanly. The guard test is kept but reframed: it catches a future `...args` spread that would silently forward model input into the post-scrub env merge, NOT a trust wall. No code or behavior change.

When a background task finishes, a short notice is injected into the owning agent's session (`agent.inject()`, source `{kind: 'plugin', plugin: 'tool-bash'}`). The owning agent is found by its session token: the listener reads `ctx.bash.ownerOf(task.id)` and scans `ctx.get('agents')?.list()` for an agent whose `session.header.id` matches (read via `ctx.get` — `onTaskDone` runs on the bash fiber, a foreign fiber, so the `ctx.agents` proxy would throw). If no live agent carries that token — e.g. the owning session disconnected and its agent was disposed while the task ran on — the notice is dropped cleanly. Injection is **durable context for the next model request, not a wake-up** — an idle agent stays idle until something sends a message. That's why the tool descriptions tell the model to poll with `bash_output`.

## Trusted-plugin boundary: env / stdin are never model-driven
|
||||
## The tool builds its request from named args only
|

The `BashExecRequest` seam carries optional `stdin` and `env` (a **trusted-plugin surface** used by the hooks bridges to feed a hook command its JSON payload and `CLAUDE_*` env). This tool deliberately **never** threads model input into either: its request is built from `command`/`workdir`/`timeoutMs`/`signal`/`owner` only, so a model that includes `env` or `stdin` keys in its tool arguments has them ignored — it cannot smuggle an environment variable or stdin payload past `dsh-bash-local`'s credential scrub. A regression guard (the "trusted-plugin boundary" tests) drives the real tool with adversarial args and asserts the resulting request carries neither field. See [the trusted-plugin RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-30-bash-stdin-env-trusted-plugin-surface.md).

The `BashExecRequest` seam carries optional `stdin` and `env`, used by the hooks bridges to feed a hook command its JSON payload and `CLAUDE_*` env. This tool does **not** expose them as parameters: its request is built from `command`/`workdir`/`timeoutMs`/`signal`/`owner` only, so a model that includes `env` or `stdin` keys in its tool arguments has them ignored. This is not a trust boundary — a model already has equivalent power through shell syntax (`FOO=bar cmd`, a heredoc), and the real defense against leaking the harness's ambient secrets is `dsh-bash-local`'s credential scrub, which works regardless. A regression guard drives the real tool with those extra args and asserts the resulting request carries neither field — its job is to catch a future refactor that blindly spreads `...args` into the request (which would silently forward model input into the post-scrub `env` merge), not to defend a wall. See [the bash-stdin-env RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-30-bash-stdin-env-trusted-plugin-surface.md).
