refactor(gui): dissolve the tool ring into per-view keyed slots
Four rounds of structural rework on the conversation surface, converging on one registration model for the whole client: - Review fixes: open() leaves the inject factory (SessionsService owns the semantic); ConversationService mounts via ctx.plugin(); the bespoke view registry retires into the 'conversation.view' list slot. - Ring alignment: createChatView factory retired (components get everything through checkable shares at the register call site); the hand-rolled t/i18n threading is deleted wholesale — a future framework-level i18n will supply t as a standard prop keyed by slot name, so no interim manual channel. - Toolview dissolution: ToolViewRegistry / ToolViewResolver / ToolViewOutlet / ctx.toolviews retire. Tool rows are entries of the 'conversation.chat.toolview' keyed slot (scope: session) declared by the chat entry; ToolRowOwnerProps is the unified owner payload; GenericToolCard becomes the call-site fallback; registrants are plain plugins (inject ['slots','conversation'] as the load-order seam); session-dimension dispatch moves into components (useSessions reads parentId); trajectory/waterfall gain same-shape slots the day they render tool rows (RendersCheck rejects empty declarations). Slot names mirror the composition path (<domain>.<entry>.<hole>). - Staging follows current: cell()/binding() are pure resolution (render-safe); the constructor subscribes to the list store and followCurrent opens the event window when the current session changes — staging IS the open signal, business verbs are the timing, React render/commit is decoupled from window lifecycle. A masked current (projection gap) keeps the stage untouched so deferred teardown semantics survive reconnects. Agent Note: .agents/notes/implemented/architecture/ 2026-07-23-toolview-dissolution.md (bilingual pair) records the decision, the four rejected alternatives, and the accepted semantic changes; the web client architecture note and packages/client/AGENTS.md carry the current-state narrative. Verified: typecheck 0, duplication 0 clones (478 files), full coverage run 6190 passed with zero threshold errors, knip 0, doc-sync 24/24, client aggregate tsc 0, render-count checks (one commit per chunk, zero row re-renders under streaming) green.

## Services and scope addressing
|
||||
|
||||
A service is a plugin's only API surface toward other plugins (UI components and injection faces are not APIs; a plugin nobody calls mounts no service — ui-trajectory is the minimal-plugin exemplar: no ctx service, only view-map merges). The roster: `ctx.connection` (api client + stream handles), `ctx.slots` (registry wrapper emitting `slots/changed`, render entry, renderer install seam), `ctx.sessions` (list store, current-session state, scope tree), `ctx.loader`, `ctx.theme`, `ctx.i18n`, `ctx.layout` (cross-plugin view navigation), `ctx.conversation` (send/cancel/views/startSession), `ctx.toolviews` (named per-tool render registry with per-session scope filters). Viewing state that used to live in service stores (panel widths, selection, drafts) now lives in entry-declared stores per the [slot system standard](2026-07-22-slot-type-chain-implementation.md).

Beyond SlotMap, two more typed registration rings follow the same declare-merge idiom: the **view ring** (`ConversationViewMap` — an entry may declare `chromeProps`/`extraProps` extension shapes; `ConvViewPropsOf<Id>`/`ChromePropsOf<Id>` compose base + extension, so a view with no declaration gets the base for free while ui-trajectory's entries carry real per-view props) and the **tool ring** (tool names stay an open set — no global key table; typing hardens inside the entry: `ToolViewProps.block` is the real `ToolCallBlock` union defined in runtime, and register infers the registrant's injected share like slots do).
|
||||
There is no registration model besides slots — the former view and tool rings both dissolved into it. Conversation views are entries of the `'conversation.view'` list slot ui-conversation declares, tab metadata rides the registration options (`id`/`order`/`label`), and per-view chrome lives inside the view components themselves. A tool row is a keyed child slot each view declares for itself — today `'conversation.chat.toolview'` (keyed/session), declared by the chat entry's `children` table; the key space is runtime-open (SlotMap declares slots, never keys), which is what the tool ring's open tool-name set required. The render site dispatches per row via `entryKey: toolName` with `GenericToolCard` as the call-site `fallback`; the owner payload is the uniform `ToolRowOwnerProps` (`callId`/`toolName`/`block`/`openDetails`), and `ToolRowProps` composes it with the session standard kit for registrant components. Registrants are plain plugins with zero dedicated machinery: `ctx.slots.register({ name: 'conversation.chat.toolview', key: '<tool>', inject? }, Row)`, with `inject: ['slots', 'conversation']` as the load-order seam (the conversation service being present guarantees the slot is declared). Session-dimension differentiation happens inside the component — `useSessions` reading `parentId` — not in registry predicates; interaction drafts and other row state ride the ordinary store seat. Trajectory/waterfall get same-shaped slots (names fixed by the slot-naming discipline `<domain>.<entry>.<hole>`, one shared owner type) that land with their own row render sites — RendersCheck rejects a declaration nobody renders, so the two slots cannot be declared early.
|
||||
|
||||
**Scope addressing** mirrors the host's agent-scope idiom: services are root singletons whose methods take no sessionId — they read the caller's scope mark (`scopeOf(ctx)`). Inside a session scope, `ctx.conversation.send('hi', 'queue')` targets that session; cross-session calls re-target by switching ctx (`ctx.sessions.scope(id)!.conversation.send(...)`); calling a scoped method from root ctx throws. Client session scopes are minted like host agent scopes (a no-op plugin fiber + a scope-key extend), built lazily on first viewing and torn down only when the session is removed and unwatched — host-session death alone does not tear a scope (it freezes into a read-only viewport).

## How to develop
|
||||
|
||||
- **A new UI feature** = a new plugin package: declare `dshClient` (+ `inject` topology) in package.json, write the browser half under `src/client/` (apply mounts services/stores, registers slots and toolviews), keep the node half an empty apply unless there is host logic, build with the shared preset. Add the plugin to the host config; the manifest and loading follow automatically.

|
||||
- **A new slot**: see the [slot system standard RFC](2026-07-22-slot-type-chain-implementation.md) — merge the contract into `SlotMap`, declare it in the parent entry's `children`, render through the auto-injected `renderSlot` prop. Never export components globally.
|
||||
- **Consuming a new frame type**: sessionId-bearing → a branch in Session's dispatch switch; host-level → the Manager routing table; if the UI needs it, a `ConversationSnapshot` field with the reference discipline kept.
|
||||
- **Where does this state live**: business data (events, streaming, pending) → always the object layer; what the parent knows → owner props at the renderSlot site; private to one component (scroll, search text, expansion) → component state; shared across entries or surviving remounts (selection, drafts, panel widths) → an entry-declared store ([slot system standard](2026-07-22-slot-type-chain-implementation.md)).
