Master removed the stdio demo (#702c8cc30) — accept the deletion; this
branch's packChunks passthrough survives in acp-demo (auto-merged), and
cli-demo/tui-demo arrived from master without one (the follow-up snapshot
PR decides which demos expose the switch). Generated catalogs regenerated
over merged sources; the hand-written session.md durability paragraph
re-weaves this branch's lossless-encoding wording with master's invariant-
companion sentence.
Master landed the tool-subagent depth budget while this branch was in
flight: the numeric default maxDepth now fails the mount against the
ACP provider's depthLimit: false, so the composition fixture must state
maxDepth: 'provider-managed' — the documented opt-out for a provider
whose recursion budget lives in the child harness. The fixture also
moves off the retired stdio-demo REPL onto the current app-boot driver
pattern (runLoaderSmoke + one-shot cli), and the split isDirectory
statements gain the file-not-a-directory case the single-expression
form used to cover implicitly.
The inheritance branch ran only under hand-mounted plugin tests, and
the with-key e2e always configures an explicit cwd. Add a test-only
cordis.yml (scripted delegating model + the scripted mock ACP child)
booting the stdio app through the real Loader with cwd omitted: the
child proves it ran in — and was announced — the parent session's
workspace, keylessly.
SubagentStartRequest.parent, its core-data type-equiv mirror, and the
ACP backend Agent Note still said the out-of-process backend ignores
request.parent — no longer true: with cwd unconfigured it reads exactly
the session header's cwd, and a parent session without one now rejects
at start. State the one-field read at each owning contract, record the
workspace-resolution decision in the Agent Note, and align the README's
accessibility wording with the search-permission guard.
statSync().isDirectory() is true for a mode-600 directory, but a
subprocess cwd needs X_OK — spawn would fail EACCES, deferring a
self-contained configuration error past the load/start boundary the
resolution owns. Probe accessSync(X_OK) alongside the type check so
"not an accessible directory" is literally what the guard verifies.
The consolidated resolver scopes the anonymous id to $DSH_HOME rather
than the machine. Update the module contract, README, and Agent Note to
say per-harness-home explicitly instead of over-claiming a machine-global
identity, and record why DSH_HOME scoping is the intended single-root
meaning rather than a regression.
