A per-instance connection supervisor restarts the original server config
with exponential backoff when the transport closes, re-runs tool discovery
on success, and atomically replaces the previous generation. Default policy
retries for ~2.5 minutes (10 attempts, 500ms→30s doubling) before giving up
and unregistering the server's tools.
New config block reconnect { enabled, initialDelayMs, maxDelayMs, maxAttempts }
on both transports; misconfiguration fails plugin load. A connection that
survives past the stability window (maxDelayMs) resets the attempt budget,
so occasional crashes recover indefinitely while a crash loop still exhausts
the cap.
Integrates with the upstream failOnStartupError: the initial sync uses
registrationFailure:'throw' when that flag is set so a squatted namespace
still rejects activation.
Fixes#1746
Also folds the duplication the three controls had grown: the draft-and-commit
input both editable fields render is now one component, and the two sibling
executors' identical import surface is marked as the deliberate mirror their
READMEs already describe.
The section knows no namespace: it declares `settings.plugin.item` and
renders whatever cards were registered into it, so a plugin that ships a
browser half owns its card and its controls. The three cards here cover the
host-plane sections this deployment exposes.
A field shows its effective value and, when the raw user layer carries it, an
override badge and a reset that clears it back to the composition layer.
Controls commit on blur and Enter rather than per keystroke, which would burn
namespace revisions and race its own reads. The search key is the one value
that never rides a response: the card reports only whether one is configured
and writes it through the credentials domain, addressed by the reference the
section names.
A card renders nothing while its namespace is unavailable — a deployment that
does not compose the owning plugin should show no trace of it rather than a
disabled card the user cannot act on.
The provider now takes a thunk rather than a value: it projects the
authoritative section per search, so a stored endpoint, model, or key
reference reaches the next call without re-registering the provider — which
would make the seam's provider selection observable as a flicker.
apiKey already carries role('secret'), so the section is safe to describe:
the literal never rides a response in any layer and a configuration surface
learns only that a key is set.
The section is a strict subset of the plugin config: `agents` is consumed
once when the service starts, so a stored change there could only look like
it had an effect. The cap resolves through a getter over the settings source,
which the scheduler destructures at the start of each tool group, so a
committed change bounds the next group without disturbing the one in flight.
`resolveMaxParallelToolCalls` becomes the section validator, refusing a value
at the write instead of at that group.
The deferred-resume effect-shape assertion now allows the one plugin effect
the optional settings wiring adds at the fiber's own level; a resumed agent
joining it there is still the regression it pins.
The persistence contract gains a concrete readRaw default (undefined for
backends without a per-session artifact) and the JSONL backend overrides it
with the decode of its physical zstd frames, so a consumer can read the
stored artifact text verbatim — the session-log export depends on it.
The capability's namespace is owned by the seam because it names the
capability, not an implementation: a host composes exactly one provider of
ctx.bash, so both executor families register the same namespace with their
own schema and composition entry without ever colliding, and a settings
document carried between platforms keeps resolving on both.
Both executors read their config through a source thunk, so a stored change
reaches the next command. The constructor checks the schema cannot express
become the section validator, refusing a bad value at the write instead of
at the next command. pwsh re-resolves its executable only when the declared
path changed, so an unrelated settings change never re-probes the filesystem.
The model reads a PNG/JPEG/WebP/GIF file, the bytes commit through the
durable attachment lifecycle, and the tool result carries the real
ImageBlock so the image enters context from the next request onward.
FileSystem gains a bounded readBytes primitive (local + E2B providers);
registration is conditional on the attachment store, and a strict
execution gate refuses routes that do not declare image input, so a
text route's durable history stays free of image blocks. llm-replay
models may declare inputModalities, letting keyless ACP snapshots pin
both the sha256-referenced success and the verbatim refusal.

The skills subsystem page and dsh-skill README describe the host+per-scope

precedence choice, and the rejected alternatives.
