Retaining link-in-place behind a prompt and DSH_ADOPT kept the divergent
install shape that this change exists to remove, and cost a flag, a prompt,
a dirty-tree warning, a no-commit fallback, and a second linking path.
In-repo mode now adopts unconditionally. A dirty tree adopts silently:
`worktree add` from HEAD cannot carry uncommitted work, so a prompt only
adds a decision the user cannot act on differently.
The original reason for link-in-place — keeping the script testable against
local source — survives adoption, since the staging worktree branches from
the checkout's HEAD and runs the same code. DSH_SOURCE remains the escape
hatch for installing a separate tree.
Net 47 fewer lines in the installer.
Running scripts/install.sh from a checkout linked `dsh` straight at that
checkout, producing an install that `dsh-upgrade` cannot upgrade (there is
no `current` to repoint), that dangles if the checkout moves, and whose
launcher resolves to an arbitrary working branch.
In-repo mode still never clones and never touches the working tree, but it
now offers to adopt the checkout, and adoption is the default. The container
owns staging worktrees and `current`; the repository is discovered via
`git rev-parse --git-common-dir` rather than owned, so a clone anywhere on
disk converges on the same upgradable layout as a curl install and both
share one worktree/exclude/lock/link sequence.
Declining, or DSH_ADOPT=0, keeps the previous link-in-place behavior with a
warning naming what it costs, preserving the path that makes this script
testable against local source.
All path comparisons run on physical paths: macOS resolves /var through a
symlink to /private/var, and comparing a resolved path against an unresolved
one misclassified an existing managed install as a foreign clone.
Verified manually (no install.spec.ts, per request) with a harness driving
the real script under a stubbed pnpm across 33 assertions, plus both
interactive outcomes under tmux.
The two shipped surfaces offered different tools for no recorded reason:
session checkpoints, tool-result pruning, the goal tools, and Ralph were in
`tui.cordis.yml`; `tool-todo` and web search were in `web.cordis.yml`. Neither
offered session search, a string-replacement editor, or a repeat-tool guard,
though none of the three is surface-specific.
Move the rows that are not surface-specific into `base.cordis.yml` and add
those three. Web search moves there too — the TUI decision the change that
made it a Web default deferred. Both surfaces now assemble the same 27 tools.
This adds only. No row is removed from either surface and no existing row's
configuration is edited: executors, sandbox composition, access defaults,
`tools.mode`, and the workflow tool are exactly what they were. Two rows stay
surface-specific: `tmux-context` (no terminal multiplexer in a browser) and
`session-reference` (its index has one writer owner).
Ship `dsh-mcp-client` as a dependency without a row: the plugin mounts one
server per instance and `command` is required, so a default would name a
third-party server and spawn it outside `ctx.bash` on every launch. The CLI
README carries the YAML for mounting one from a personal config.
