apps/cli/cordis.yml gains settings-local, credentials-local, and the bare
dormant llm-pi-ai row (manifest deps added for the resolver contract);
llm-deepseek drops its !!js apiKey inline for per-request credential
resolution. Both adapters tag apiKeyEnv role('credential-ref') so the
form mounts the credential control. The web e2e scaffold isolates a
harness home per run — an in-process boot must never touch the
developer's real ~/.dsh — and the new models-settings scenario pins the
whole loop through the shipped app: dormant directory as add vocabulary,
schema-driven editor apply landing in settings.yaml, the route
registering live (topology frame), and a write-only key landing in the
temp .env with the configured badge converging. A hermetic test-owned
reference name keeps a developer's real provider keys from flipping the
badge. schema-form joins the platform module table (seed + externals)
so client bundles share one instance.
`dsh` shipped two config trees that were 43 rows the same: apps/cli/cordis.yml
composed web as 74 flat rows, while the TUI booted examples/tui-agent/cordis.yml
whose single `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui-demo` row mounted twelve plugins behind a
twenty-key pass-through Config. Neither file was what its location claimed —
apps/cli hardcoded the "example" as the product default and the "demo" bundle
was the application — and every capability change had to be made twice.
- apps/cli/base.cordis.yml holds the 43 shared rows; tui.cordis.yml and
web.cordis.yml are patch lists stating only what differs per surface
- overlays apply as SIBLING patch lists at one include level, because include
patches never cross an include boundary. Precedence: base < surface <
(--config | personal ~/.dsh/config.yaml) < launcher flag/profile patches
- `--config` now applies an overlay INSTEAD OF the personal one, so a demo or
test tree never inherits the user's route; new `--config-replace` boots a file
as the entire tree (the old `--config` behaviour). Both survive /resume
- vendor/include: index each `insert`ed row as it is added so a later patch can
configure or disable it. Upstream built the id index once before the patch
loop, leaving every surface-only row — the whole TUI front door — silently
unpatchable from user config. Logged as local modification 8
- session identity moves to dsh-agent-loop's CONFIGURED_AGENT_IDENTITIES_KEY;
dsh-tui's MAIN_SESSION_ID_KEY is deleted (only the bundle read it)
- delete examples/tui-agent, examples/cordis-agent, packages/examples/tui-demo;
TUI tests → apps/cli/tests, cordis e2e → packages/cordis/tool-cordis/tests,
examples/code-mode survives as an overlay leaf
- `dsh web` gains --config, threaded into AppCLIEntry as an extra overlay
Three latent defects surfaced and are fixed here: the TUI captured the optional
sessionQuery service once at construction and could permanently disable /resume
when it won the mount race; the session-store root silently reverted to a
project-local ./.sessions; --config-replace was dropped by the resume handoff.
Verified by booting each tree through the real Loader (TUI 55 entries, web 75,
zero unsettled) rather than reading YAML. All eight terminal snapshots replay
byte-identically; 14/14 PTY smoke, 112/112 snapshots, 25/25 doc-sync, hygiene
and lint clean.
Add @deepseek-ai/dsh-host-directory-picker-auto, a node-half-only chooser
that samples the host situation once at boot (bind host via a new
httpServer.host getter, SSH markers, platform, DISPLAY/WAYLAND_DISPLAY)
and mounts the matching dual-face backend (-native or -browse) as a real
Loader entry in the in-memory root tree; the effect disposer removes it.
Entry-level mounting keeps the seam's one-row-swaps-both-faces invariant:
the client module table discovers the mounted backend's browser half
exactly as a config row's. apps/cli now composes -auto as its
directory-picker row; composing a backend row directly remains the pin.
Register a global `/feedback` command so a user can record a remark about the
session without spending a model turn. `/feedback <text>` acknowledges; empty
or whitespace-only input returns a usage error.
The plugin appends no session event of its own. `dsh-commands` already writes
a `command/run` / `command/done` pair for every dispatched command, carrying
the verbatim text and the settled outcome, and both records are log-only and
non-surface. The feedback is therefore durably in the session log and invisible
to the model without this package touching the log format.
Text is never parsed, so `/feedback /plan felt slow` records that literal
content. Nothing consumes the records; capture is deliberately inert.
New group `packages/feedback/` — no existing group owns feedback capture. Its
row raises the packages/README.md word ceiling by 10, which had no headroom;
one redundant sentence there was removed to offset most of the cost.
Live environment wins read-only (shadowed writes reject instead of
appearing to succeed); the file is the writable source with byte-preserving
line edits, a quoting ladder dotenv reads back verbatim, atomic 0600
writes, wholesale snapshot replacement on reload, and write-drain
teardown.
writeFileAtomic: exclusive-create random-suffix temp + rename carrying the
caller-stated mode; settings-local persistSection now consumes it. The
credentials-local store shares it next.
Conflicts were the parallel-edit set: packages/README group table (kept
master's session-title wording, re-added the settings row condensed),
doc-budgets AGENTS.md ceiling (took master's 1750), and regenerated
graph/catalog docs plus re-recorded translation pairs. packages/README.md
ceiling 845 -> 850: the table legitimately gained one row for the new
settings group and the row is already minimal.
Two-package capability family mirroring session-persistence/:
- dsh-settings: abstract Settings service — namespace registry with
caller-fiber effect registrations, layered resolution (schema defaults
< composition base < user document), schemastery validation,
per-namespace deep-equal commit detection, and the settings/updated
event. Boot/registration validation fails loud; provider publishes
keep last-good per namespace.
- dsh-settings-local: settings.yaml/.json provider — resolveSpec
defaulting to $DSH_HOME/settings.yaml, chokidar hot reload,
content-equality self-write suppression, atomic 0600 tmp+rename
writes, comment-preserving YAML namespace patching.
Consumers register inside ctx.inject(['settings'], …), so every
composition works unchanged without a mounted provider. Real Loader +
Include composition test proves cordis.yml boot and external-edit hot
propagation; HMR disposal test proves registry cleanup. Both packages
hold per-file 100% coverage.
Doc budgets rise 1705→1710 (AGENTS.md) and 835→845 (packages/README.md):
one structural line per file for the new package group.
Agent Note: .agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-28-user-settings-seam.md
New package on the domain data form: one session_projcache record per
session (key → {stateVersion, observedSeq, state}), landing beside
workspace.json under the shipped json backend. Write policy: two mandatory
points (turn/end + session disposal) with count/interval throttling between
them (both Config fields required — flush cadence is a deployment choice);
every background write is fail-soft (log + stay stale, self-heal on the
next write or cold read). coldSnapshot(id) runs the read ladder — cached
rows + persistence readFrom from the registry's anchored restore floor +
registry restore + fail-soft write-back — detecting crash-repair-shrunk
logs via the one-below anchor and degrading to a single full re-read.
Mounted in apps/cli/cordis.yml (writeEveryEvents 200 / writeIntervalMs
5000).
directory-picker-browse becomes dual-face: its browser half fills
ui-workspace's two directory-flow holes with the Select Workspace Directory
dialog (figma Harness 813-23126 family — Miller two-column view, breadcrumb
with click-to-edit path zone, nested New-folder dialog), driving the node
half's host.listDirectory/host.createDirectory and owning its locale
namespace (directory-browser, zh default / en). The dialog moves here from
ui-workspace wholesale — the trigger surfaces keep only the flow-hole owner
conversation.
apps/cli flips its one directory-picker row -native -> -browse, swapping the
host backend and the client interaction together; picking now works for
remote deployments out of the box. The keyless workspace-flow snapshot boots
the browse bundle and drives menu -> dialog -> Documents -> project -> Open
against the fixture tree.
ui-workspace's two trigger surfaces each declare a single-kind directory-flow
hole (conversation.hero.workspace.directoryFlow / sidebar.workspaces.directoryFlow,
same owner contract) and keep only the trigger and the adoption: the Open-local-
folder entry renders while the surface's hole is occupied, and the occupant
reports one picked path per open through the hole's owner conversation
(open/busy/onPicked/onCancel/onError).
directory-picker-native becomes dual-face: its browser half fills both holes
with a renderless occupant driving host.pickDirectory, so the cordis.yml row
that mounts the backend also composes the client interaction — a mismatch is
impossible and a second flow package fails at client load.
With composition wiring both sides, the host.describe.directoryPicker
advertisement and the client's kind branching lose their last consumer:
the field, WorkspacesService.directoryPickerKind(), the DirectoryPickerKind
wire type, and the picker's per-open describe read are deleted. The connection
fixture now serves a deterministic pickDirectory path so the keyless snapshot
drives the full pick-then-adopt flow. ui-workspace's hand-rolled declaration
deferral is replaced by the deferRegistration helper it duplicated.
Add @deepseek-ai/dsh-tmux-context: an opt-in per-turn context plugin that
reads which tmux session/window/pane this agent process runs in (plus the
window layout tree) via the ctx.bash seam, and injects it as one durable,
source-attributed user/message when the location changes.
- Pull on the first step of each turn; no tmux hook or background process.
- Detect a real pane by tty, not $TMUX_PANE alone: a terminal launched from
a tmux shell inherits $TMUX/$TMUX_PANE from that ancestor, so the command
also matches the pane's #{pane_tty} against this process's controlling
terminal and emits fields only on a match.
- No-op outside a real pane, without a bash executor, or on a malformed
reading.
- Own location and layout only: no pane sizes, no sibling-pane scraping.
- Unit tests at 100% per-file coverage, plus a keyless Loader e2e with a
mock bash provider so it replays without tmux.
- Agent Note: 2026-07-27-tmux-location-context.
master's toolcall-open extracted runNativeCommand inside apiproxy for the
openPath opener while the picker seam had moved the native chooser (its other
consumer) into directory-picker-native; after the merge the two packages each
carried a verbatim copy. The runner now lives in packages/util/native-command
(zero-dependency library, per the util-group contract) and both native
integrations depend on it.
The browse interaction also presents a dialog (the in-app modal), so 'dialog'
failed to discriminate the two capability kinds; 'native' names where the
chooser runs. Package directory-picker-dialog -> directory-picker-native, kind
'dialog' -> 'native', with every seam/gateway/client/doc reference updated and
the seam Agent Note's naming rationale rewritten to match.
The web GUI's folder picking was hardwired to one interaction: a native
OS chooser compiled into the gateway, unusable for remote deployments
and swappable only by editing apiproxy source.
Directory picking becomes a three-package capability seam in
packages/host: ctx.directoryPicker returns a discriminated capability —
dialog (the extracted native chooser; host-display only) or browse
(new: one-level listing + child creation over Node stdlib, hidden flags
host-stamped, symlinks followed, ancestry crumbs; remote-capable). The
gateway injects the seam, advertises the kind via
host.describe.directoryPicker, serves host.listDirectory /
host.createDirectory under browse, and answers
directory-picker-unavailable across kinds. cordis.yml is the swap
point; apps/cli keeps dialog mounted, so behavior is unchanged until
the in-app browser PR flips the default. The connection fixture serves
a deterministic browse tree; WorkspacesService gains the browse calls
the browser UI will drive. Decision record:
