+# Agent Note: SDK max output tokens
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-28-sdk-max-output-tokens.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+The Python and TypeScript SDKs could select a provider and model but could not bound conversation-model output. The runtime therefore omitted `GenerateOptions.maxTokens`, leaving provider defaults in control even when an evaluation host required a fixed output budget. `compact-basic.maxTokens` could not fill this role because it limits only compaction-summary calls.
+
+## Decision
+
+The high-level SDKs expose one optional process-wide output cap: Python names it `max_tokens`, TypeScript names it `maxTokens`, and the shared `initialize` wire payload carries `maxTokens`. The JSON-RPC server rejects values that are not positive safe integers and stores the accepted cap with its provider/model route.
+
+Each SDK-created root Agent receives the cap through `AgentOptions.maxTokens`. Agent Loop places that value in the initial `LlmCallConfig`, logs it in the request header, and reconstructs every dispatched conversation request from that durable header. Omitting the option leaves `maxTokens` absent so the selected provider retains its default.
+
+In-process subagents inherit the parent's provider, model, and output cap. An explicit `SubagentStartRequest.agentOptions.maxTokens`, including one configured by `dsh-tool-subagent`, overrides the inherited value for that child and its descendants. Out-of-process providers own the configuration of their separate runtime; `subagent-dsh-sdk` therefore exposes its own optional `maxTokens` and forwards it through that child runtime's SDK handshake.
+
+Compaction, session-title generation, web search, and other auxiliary calls keep their independently owned output limits. `maxTokensAsSuccess` remains outcome mapping only: it does not set or alter the cap.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Set an adapter environment variable.** This would be DeepSeek-adapter-specific, invisible in the session request header, ineffective for intercepted or alternate adapters, and easy to confuse with a provider default. The cap belongs in provider-neutral request configuration.
+
+**Add `maxTokens` to every `session/prompt`.** Per-turn mutation would enlarge the wire and introduce request-config transitions that callers do not need for the current evaluation use case. A runtime initialization option gives every session in one SDK process the same reproducible budget.
+
+**Reuse `compact-basic.maxTokens`.** The compaction value controls summary generation, not ordinary conversation requests. Sharing it would couple two different token budgets and make tuning one silently change the other.
+
+## Consequences
+
+SDK callers can bound model output without editing Cordis composition, and direct Agent creation uses the same validated `AgentOptions` contract. The cap is visible in durable request headers and reaches provider adapters as `GenerateOptions.maxTokens`; DeepSeek serialization maps it to `max_tokens`.
+
+One SDK runtime has one default cap. A caller needing different caps runs separate runtime instances or explicitly overrides an in-process child through its agent options. Reaching the cap still produces the existing `max-tokens` stop reason, whose `ok` or `error` mapping remains deployment policy.

+# Agent Note: SDK 最大输出 token
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-28-sdk-max-output-tokens.md) | 中文
+
+## Problem
+
+Python 与 TypeScript SDK 可以选择提供方和模型，却无法限制对话模型输出。即使评测宿主要求固定输出预算，运行时仍会省略 `GenerateOptions.maxTokens`，由提供方默认值控制。`compact-basic.maxTokens` 只限制压缩摘要调用，不能承担这一职责。
+
+## Decision
+
+高层 SDK 公开一个可选的进程级输出上限：Python 命名为 `max_tokens`，TypeScript 命名为 `maxTokens`，共享的 `initialize` 线载荷使用 `maxTokens`。JSON-RPC 服务端拒绝非正安全整数，并将通过校验的上限与提供方／模型路由一同保存。
+
+每个由 SDK 创建的根 Agent 都通过 `AgentOptions.maxTokens` 获得该上限。Agent Loop 将它放入初始 `LlmCallConfig`、记录到请求 header，并从该持久化 header 重建每次分派的对话请求。省略该选项时，`maxTokens` 保持缺失，由所选提供方保留默认值。
+
+进程内 subagent 继承父级的提供方、模型和输出上限。显式的 `SubagentStartRequest.agentOptions.maxTokens`（包括通过 `dsh-tool-subagent` 配置的值）会覆盖该子级及其后代的继承值。进程外提供方自行持有其独立运行时的配置；因此 `subagent-dsh-sdk` 公开独立的可选 `maxTokens`，并通过该子运行时自己的 SDK 握手传入。
+
+压缩、会话标题生成、网页搜索和其他辅助调用继续使用各自持有的独立输出上限。`maxTokensAsSuccess` 仍然只负责结果映射，不会设置或改变上限。
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**设置适配器环境变量。** 这种方式仅适用于 DeepSeek 适配器，不会出现在会话请求 header 中，对被拦截请求或其他适配器无效，也容易与提供方默认值混淆。该上限属于提供方无关的请求配置。
+
+**在每个 `session/prompt` 上增加 `maxTokens`。** 按轮次修改会扩大线协议，并引入当前评测用例不需要的请求配置转换。运行时初始化选项可让一个 SDK 进程中的每个会话拥有相同、可重现的预算。
+
+**复用 `compact-basic.maxTokens`。** 压缩值控制摘要生成，而非普通对话请求。共用会耦合两类不同 token 预算，调整一方时会静默改变另一方。
+
+## Consequences
+
+SDK 调用方无需修改 Cordis 组合即可限制模型输出，直接创建 Agent 也使用同一套经过校验的 `AgentOptions` 契约。该上限在持久化请求 header 中可见，并以 `GenerateOptions.maxTokens` 到达提供方适配器；DeepSeek 序列化会将其映射为 `max_tokens`。
+
+一个 SDK 运行时只有一个默认上限。需要不同上限的调用方应运行独立的 runtime 实例，或通过 agent options 显式覆盖某个进程内子级。达到上限时仍产生现有的 `max-tokens` 停止原因；将其映射为 `ok` 还是 `error` 仍由部署策略决定。

An active `TurnCancellation` holder copies its discriminant into the runtime-only `AbortSignal.reason` and is retired before `turn/end` publication; the frozen `AbortSignal.reason` remains readable after that retirement. Only the loop reads the cause (`user`, `parent`, or lifecycle-only `disposed`) back off its own machine-private signal at settlement — there is no public reader, and a signal grants cooperating listeners no classification authority. Durable `turn/end` retains the coarse `{ kind: 'aborted' }` outcome; request provenance would require a separate durable event rather than overloading the terminal result.

 The scoped-registration surface: `Agent.ctx` is the agent's scope context (`dsh-scope`, key = the agent) — register tools/sections/variables/listeners through it for that agent alone, all unwound on disposal. `agentEvents(ctx, agent)` is the fused dispatcher for ordinary agent-subject operations (carrier + injected subject in one move); its notification mode invokes every listener and contains both synchronous throws and returned-promise rejections. The registry lifecycle pair reuses one stable routing carrier. `assembleContextFor(agent)` builds the per-agent assembly context (`agent` + `scope` together). `installAgentLlmTarget(agentCtx, target)` snapshots a mutable provider/model/reasoning-effort selection during prompt assembly, applies the route to prompt variables, and applies the complete target to request routing for one step; an absent selected effort clears an inherited effort so the target uses adapter/provider defaults. `CreateAgentOptions.setup(agentCtx)` and `ResumeAgentOptions.setup(agentCtx)` compose a fresh or resumed agent's scoped world while both objects remain unpublished. Setup is trusted, composition-only same-process code: drive the agent only after creation resolves.

A detach requested synchronously by a creation listener is deferred until that dispatch unwinds, and every detach checks the captured entry object, so a stale capability cannot delete a later same-ID replacement. The async factory uses this split; ordinary plugins use `register()`.

 - `agent.steer(input)` — the `next-step`/wakeup preset: during prompt admission or an open turn, stage steering for the next safe boundary without dispatching `agent/prompt-submit`; outside that acceptance window, delegate to a woken follow-up. Admission failure leaves staged steering for retry or a later admitted prompt, while cancellation or disposal may discard it.
 - `agent.inject(input)` — the `next-step`/no-wakeup preset: append model-facing context without running the model; the next request sees a verbatim user-role message whose provenance is carried by the required `input.source`. During prompt admission or an open turn, injection waits in the outbox for the next safe boundary. Outside that acceptance window, it appends immediately without opening a turn; a context-only admission batch takes this fallback if admission closes without a turn, while context staged beside steering remains pending with it. Persistence reacts to `session/event` independently. Injection emits no `agent/inbox/*` event.
