The master merge brought the tool registry's per-scope restriction layer
(tools.restrict), which makes dsh-mode's prepend assemble filter a duplicate
enforcement shape: it re-implemented the registry's SDK-section rendering
(renderToolsSdk + the RUN_CODE_NAME exclusion) and hid the exit tool from
prompts only — dispatch stayed open and the execute-time re-check was the
real gate. The service now reconciles a per-agent deny restriction on
agent.ctx at agent/created and at every boundary flush, so wire schemas, the
Code Mode tools:sdk section, AND dispatch resolve exit_plan_mode through the
one registry view (a default-mode call answers UNKNOWN_TOOL, byte-identical
to a no-dsh-mode deployment). The execute-time folded-mode re-check stays as
defense in depth for a direct foreign mode/set append no boundary has
reconciled yet.
Two zero-consumer surfaces removed per the pre-release stance:
- AgentOptions.mode creation seeding (declaration merge + agent/created
listener); a caller selects through set() before the first turn, and the
deferred subagent inheritance returns together with its consumer.
- The dropped-definition boundary notice (droppedNoticed + narration):
custom mode definitions have no production consumer, so nothing can be
dropped; fold-to-default degradation is unchanged.
The stdio removal had left plan mode ACP-only while docs still claimed a
/mode command. dsh-mode now registers /mode on the plugin-owned command
registry through an optional ctx.inject(['commands']) child (type-only peer
edge on dsh-commands), so the TUI and the ACP slash-command surface both
gain it; examples/tui-agent composes dsh-mode. ACP/TUI expected outputs
refreshed keyless for the available_commands_update delta.
Docs updated in place (mode READMEs, the plan-mode Agent Note's realization
sections); catalogs and graphs regenerated.
context/message previously defaulted to a <context source="…">…</context>
wrapper. No model is trained on a <context> tag either, and message
framing does not belong on the session surface: the surface projects the
durable log, and a caller that wants a frame formats its own content —
which the one heavy producer (workspace-context) already does with its own
<system-reminder> frame, opting out via 'raw'. The tag only added
machinery — ContextEnvelope plus an envelope field threaded through
InjectOptions, HookContext, the context/message event, and the agent-loop
inject/additionalContexts plumbing.
context/message now projects its content verbatim as a user-role message,
sharing one deriveEventMessage case with user/message and steering/message.
ContextEnvelope and every envelope field are removed; context/message.meta
still carries durable, model-hidden JSON state. Regenerated catalogs and
website API; refreshed the three affected keyless snapshots (envelope field
only; timestamps unchanged).
Broadens and renames the steering Agent Note to cover both envelope
removals as one decision.

steering/message previously rendered inside a <steering source="…">
envelope like context/message. No model is trained on a <steering> tag,
so the framing is arbitrary markup the model was never taught to read;
recorded transcripts show it treating the instruction as third-party
metadata and refusing it. Framing also does not belong on the session
surface — a caller that wants a frame formats its own content. It now
projects verbatim as a plain user-role message; the <context> envelope is
untouched and renderTagged becomes context-only.

Review follow-up (tianyicui): plan mode and the sandbox are orthogonal
AXES, not just orthogonal state — entering plan must not change what the
sandbox enforces, matching Codex's separation of Plan/Default
collaboration presets from sandbox and approval settings.
ModeDefinition.access, the bash/resolve-mode clamp, and both cap-derived
guards are removed; a ModeDefinition is exactly { section }, and a mode
now carries only its guidance section plus the exit_plan_mode review.
The bash seam's resolveMode + waterfall go with their only listener:
dsh-bash and dsh-tool-bash revert to master byte-for-byte, and the
dsh-mode → dsh-bash dependency edge is gone. A deployment that wants
kernel-enforced read-only planning pairs the mode picker with the
independent sandbox-mode option, in either order.
The RFC archives this as the second removed enforcement shape (after
the interim allowlist) with the same restart trigger — effects
self-declaration; the orthogonality FAQ now answers with the two-axis
rule. The plan example demonstrates the axes side by side, and the
re-recorded fixtures pin the guidance-only section.
A TUI run against an unreachable endpoint failed with only 'fetch failed':
undici wraps transport failures in a bare TypeError whose diagnosis lives
on .cause, and every diagnostic seam rendered only error.message. The
readline front door additionally rendered failed turns as pure silence.
- dsh-llm: new errorChain(value) renders the full cause chain and
AggregateError members with circular/hostile-coercion containment.
- llm-deepseek: pre-response transport failures throw LlmError('NETWORK')
naming the endpoint and chaining the fetch TypeError; aborts keep their
DOMException so the loop still classifies them as cancellation.
- agent-loop: durable turn/end error messages and logger warnings render
through errorChain; local renderThrown copies removed.
- ui-stdio: failure turn/end reasons now render ([turn failed <code>],
[turn aborted], [turn rejected], output-token-limit); startup-failure
logs use errorChain.
- ui-tui: agent/error notices and the startup-failure line use errorChain.
