The 2026-07-27 intent-named operations note still declared that a
continuable provider requires `flush()` to resolve `true` at its final
result boundary and maps `false`/rejection to `DURABILITY_FAILED`. The
activation-based record (2026-07-28-continuable-subagent-conversations)
superseded that contract: the manager awaits the final flush as a
best-effort barrier and deliberately ignores the boolean, because listener
participation cannot identify a persistence backend.
Active notes are the current source of truth — sync both sides of the
bilingual pair by marking the old clause superseded with a link to the
record that replaced it.
- listChildren() checks its cancellation signal before starting the corpus
trace and immediately after it resolves, so a pre-aborted or trace-time
abort fails CANCELLED instead of returning a successful empty result.
- Corrected the persistence-repair claims: session query resolves persisted
candidates through the non-mutating inspect() read, so listing is
storage-read-only and a torn child tail is surfaced (shorter valid prefix)
rather than repaired; the Agent Note, README, and JSDoc now state that,
and the zh pair is re-recorded.
Implements the durable-subagent-catalog RFC: SubagentControlService.listChildren()
enumerates a parent's direct continuable children from one sessionQuery trace,
validates each child's sole subagent/descriptor event (now carrying the durable
creation label), and returns one ordered SubagentListEntry[] with per-child
corrupt/unsupported/unavailable diagnostics. The list_agents tool ships as a
separately loadable plugin of dsh-tool-subagent-control requiring sessionQuery
at load; send_message stays usable without it.
Remove the host-user continuation capability and the public residency query,
then separate the seam's public event payloads from its internal lifecycle
control interfaces.
`followup()` now takes the exact live direct parent `Agent` instead of a
`SubagentAuthority` union. No production adapter ever supplied user authority,
so the `UserAuthorityGrant` brand token existed only to stop a forged
discriminant from bypassing the direct-parent check — deleting the branch
retires the token, its mint method, and that attack surface together.
Narrowing `parent` from `Agent | undefined` to `Agent` removes three special
cases, including the path where a parentless epoch dispatched its lifecycle
events unscoped. Scoped-versus-global dispatch is now decided by the event, not
by whether a caller happened to have a parent.
`activationState()` had no caller; `ActivationState`, `ActivationObserver`, and
`ContinuationHost` are package-private.
New `src/lifecycle.ts` owns the contained emitter, the one-shot run observer,
and the Activation observer, while `SubagentRunInfo`/`SubagentRunEndInfo` move
to `src/types.ts` beside the other consumer-facing contracts. Those payloads are
public API — dsh-jsonrpc, hooks-claude, and the package invariant all consume
them — whereas the observer is a contract between two in-package collaborators,
so they no longer share a home merely for both being lifecycle-shaped. The
service keeps ownership of the scope carrier: `scopeTarget()` composes the
service's own context filter, so a narrowed stand-in would silently change
scope filtering.
Also drops now-unused dsh-tasks-local and dsh-tool-tasks dev dependencies, and
corrects the README claim that a pre-residency failure emits a terminal edge —
that path only ever rethrew.
- Make host-user authority unforgeable. `{ kind: 'user' }` was a bare
discriminant, so any plugin holding `ctx.subagents` — including
model-generated cordis_mount code, which the advanced ACP composition ships
alongside continuable subagents — could construct it and skip the
direct-parent check for any known child id. It now carries an opaque grant
that only SubagentService.userAuthority() mints, which composition hands to
trusted host adapters; a model-facing tool uses parent authority from its own
execution context.
- Reconcile a delivery discarded inside its own admission window. An enqueue
listener that cancels fires the discard before followup() returns, so the
discard listener could not clear an id it had not seen; submit() retained it
and residency stayed `running` until an explicit drain.
- Recheck the caller signal after materialization. An abort landing between
publication and inbox acceptance still submitted the prompt and returned both
ids; it now rolls the child back.
- Stop promising the model transcript access that no shipped continuable config
mounts. The tools now state only that a background child does not report back.
- Restate the implemented note as shipped state rather than a proposal, so it
works as current authority.
Moves the RFC to implemented/, restates it as current-state prose under the
implemented note format, and records what the Task-backed continuable-subagents
note and the two subagent-service simplification notes retain versus what this
record replaces.
- Strict steer additionally requires an OPEN STEP: between steps the
loop may be awaiting its continuation/turn-stop checkpoints, where
pending steering was already folded and a terminal stop discards a
later arrival. A message accepted during an open step is drained and
recorded at that step's settlement before any terminal decision, so
the acknowledged-then-discarded window is closed. New keyless test
holds agent/turn-stop open and pins the rejection.
- tool-subagent-control README: distinguish synchronous not-delivered
errors from started-Task failures (unknown/foreign/descriptor-less
ids settle the started Task as failed), and drop the claim that the
completion notice carries the child's response.
- Strict steer now rejects the two windows where an acknowledged
message would be silently dropped: the closed-turn durability-flush
window (status still running, loop strands drained steering) and a
committed structured capture (terminal turn-stop discards late
steering). Seam JSDoc, catalog doc, README, and the Agent Note
bilingual pair state the tightened contract; new keyless tests pin
both rejections.
- Continuable background delegation now fails loud when the advertised
send_message tool is not registered, instead of starting a durable
child the model cannot continue. The acp-agent example already loads
the control tool; the tool-catalog boot recipe is unaffected because
capability wording is harvested at mount.
Implement the continuable background subagents RFC: a durable child
session with a series of Task-backed activations, each disposing its
run before the Task settles.
- dsh-subagent: rename SubagentRun.sendMessage to strict steer, drop
run-level resume, add SubagentProvider.resume dispatch via
SubagentService.resume, the continuation start field, and the
versioned model-hidden subagent/descriptor session event.
- dsh-subagent-inprocess/-spawn/-fork: publish the control-allocated
child id, append the descriptor inside the initial turn, implement
cold resume from the child's own transcript under the live parent
scope, and strict running-only steer.
- dsh-subagent-control (new): SubagentControlService owning stable
child ids, descriptor snapshot/fold/authorization, Task-backed
activation with settle-then-dispose ordering, the process-local
active-run association, and steer-or-resume sendMessage routing.
- dsh-tool-subagent: background route branches on the provider's
resume capability (continuable via the control service; one-shot
task for ACP), returning both child and task ids.
- dsh-tool-subagent-control (new): the globally named send_message
tool rendering steered/started routes.
Keyless coverage spans Task ownership and disposal ordering, running
delivery, cold follow-up, descriptor rejection and rollback, known-id
reconstruction, kill during lookup, admission races, and a new
subagent-continuable ACP snapshot scenario.
The shipped-roster change made @deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-session-query a
default row of the shared base.cordis.yml, so the TUI and Web surfaces
put the five session-search tools in front of the model. That
contradicts the recorded opt-in stance for the model-facing session
query consumer; the ACP example remains the mounted reference.
Remove the row from the shared base, the now-dangling disabled patch in
the opt-in core-web profile, and the workspace dependency. The
ctx.sessionQuery index stays: the TUI's /resume and the Web content
search consume it directly. Both shipped-composition tests now pin the
20-tool catalog.
ds-review-bot round 1 on the repository-plugin runtime:
- a manifest-declared skill root absent or non-directory in the installed
package now fails the plugin load (skill-local treats a missing root as
legitimately empty, which silently mounted a skill-less plugin)
- includeDefaultRoots: false no longer inherits $DSH_BUNDLED_SKILL_DIR, so
isolated repository providers see only their explicit roots
- prepared wrapper baseUrl schema requires the file: scheme, failing hostile
URLs at the declared validation boundary
- preparedPath reuses format.ts's isOutside; SERVER_NAME_PATTERN is exported
and pinned equal to dsh-mcp-client's, with the restatement justified (the
prepare bin keeps a zod-only module graph); the unexplained `as never`
cast now carries its schemastery rationale
- the import-free wrapper assertion also rejects dynamic import(
- the headless fixture wrapper is regenerated by the real prepareDshPlugin
and a drift test pins fixture == generator output
- prepareDshPlugin JSDoc states the non-atomic publish repair contract
