Review found five real defects in the configuration-source work, all confirmed
against the code rather than argued:
1. The note claimed --config outranks settings.yaml. It does not: the settings
seam registers a plugin's cordis entry config as the `base` layer and the
user section layers over it, and the seam cannot tell a shipped value from a
--config one. The note now states shipped reality and names --config-replace
as the lever for a deployment that must win. Separately, a literal `apiKey`
in settings outranked both the environment and .credentials.yaml — the field
is removed, so configuration carries a reference and nothing else.
2. DEEPSEEK_SEARCH_BASE_URL was functionally deleted: the shipped inline went
away without the provider learning to read it. It now resolves from the
environment snapshot, as the README always claimed.
3. The bootstrap deny list missed the interpreter start-up hooks. BASH_ENV is
the sharpest: `bash -c` sources it on every bash tool call, so a project
.env could run a file of its choosing before every command. The list now
covers BASH_ENV and its per-language siblings, the Git hook commands, and
the remaining preload and CA variables, organised by what a variable does
rather than which runtime owns it.
4. YAML parse errors quoted the offending source line — which in a credentials
document is the secret — into boot stderr and the watcher's logger. Only the
error code and position are reported now, in credentials-local and
settings-local alike, pinned by a test that asserts the secret is absent.
5. 0600 governed only files the harness wrote. A hand-created 0644 document was
read normally. POSIX now checks the mode before reading contents, at boot
and on every reload; Windows has no mode to inspect and is skipped rather
than faked.
The project a session is launched in is trusted by default, with no prompt and
no stored trust record: it may supply its own endpoint, ordinary variables, and
a key ranked below the managed store. Trust stops at the harness itself — a
discovered file still cannot set DSH_PERMISSION_MODE, PATH, BASH_ENV, or the
rest, because those take effect with no user action, before any turn, outside
the permission policy and the sandbox.
A catalog entry may now carry its own `maxTokens`, matching the shape the
pi-ai adapter already exposes. Exact-model resolution prefers it over the
profile value, so capping one model no longer means capping the route.
Defaults are unchanged: an entry without a cap, and any unlisted
pass-through id, still resolve to the profile `maxTokens` (256,000), and the
shipped catalog keeps its context windows.
Four review findings across the seam and both adapters.
registerAdapter now returns a handle carrying replace(providers): the
candidate route set is validated in full before anything moves, so a
route another adapter owns leaves the previous registration intact, and
the swap itself is one synchronous section with no observable gap. pi-ai
uses it instead of dispose-then-register — the old shape dropped every
route when the new set conflicted, and its facts cache could then equal
the registry's, so reverting to a working configuration never re-applied.
Its registration facts are also sorted by provider, so a settings
document that merely reorders keys no longer triggers a swap.
DeepSeek's per-request snapshot now carries the credential facts, and
resolveApiKey receives it instead of re-reading the raw config: a
settings generation the resolver rejects can no longer contribute its
literal key to a request the previous generation's endpoint serves.
pi-ai only defers to the SDK's provider-native discovery when a profile
names no credential at all; a configured apiKeyEnv that misses now fails
with MISSING_CREDENTIAL naming the route and the reference, instead of
handing pi-ai undefined and letting it authenticate with an unrelated
ambient key.
The eager boot-time credential probe is gone: it could run before the
credentials service mounted and reported every failure as a missing key.
The route stays registered and browsable; the first request gives the
accurate error, whose guidance now leads with the credential store and
mentions a literal apiKey last.
- llm-deepseek: the uncatalogued resolveModel fallback declares text-only
modalities — the wire route is text-only regardless of catalog
membership, so "unknown" must not let the host persist-then-fail images.
- session.selectModel also consults the pending-inbox mirror: a queued
image prompt enters the log only when claimed, after a switch would land.
- attachment store: ensureDurableDirectory syncs every ancestor entry up to
a caller-vouched boundary regardless of what mkdir reports — a raced
"already existed" is not "already durable".
- One image walker (imageBlockIn/imageInEvent) now serves both attachment
authorization and the selection gate; referencedImage therefore also
authorizes references inside wrapped message content.
- InputHub: the scope disposer resolves the conversation service optionally
(teardown/HMR must reach quiescence), and a send failing after its scope
died releases the in-flight drafts instead of restoring them onto a
disposed shell.
- http-bridge destroys declared-oversize requests with connection: close
instead of draining a body the client can trickle indefinitely.
- LlmService validates AND detaches modality arrays identically on the
advisory and exact routes; READMEs record the fourth INVALID_MODEL_INFO
rejection reason.
- CLI provider docs (JSDoc, README pair, Agent Note pair) describe the
reuse behavior; llm-route.spec now parses the SHIPPED cordis.yml through
the production extraction, pinning the row coupling.
- image-display lane pins gallery/rail shape in inline snapshots and the
object-URL scheme this environment must take; stale host.schema comment
dropped.
The adapter takes an options thunk and a per-stream credential resolver
instead of frozen construction facts: base URL, catalog, defaults, idle
budget, and the API key re-resolve at each operation, so a settings or
credential change reaches the very next request while in-flight streams
keep the facts they started with. resolveAdapterOptions is the one explicit
resolve step (entry config fails loud at load; a live snapshot failing a
beyond-schema bound keeps the last good options). The plugin layers its
entry config under the optional llm-deepseek settings section and resolves
keys literal-first through ctx.credentials with an ambient env fallback; a
missing key now registers the route, warns, and fails each request with
actionable MISSING_CREDENTIAL instead of failing plugin load. The
registration-captured retry policy re-registers the route in place when it
changes.
Implements the approved simplification Agent Note: sse.ts now pipes the
response body through TextDecoderStream and EventSourceParserStream
(eventsource-parser/stream) and keeps only the DeepSeek protocol shim —
yield each event's data, terminate on [DONE], throw
LlmError('STREAM_CLOSED') on EOF without the sentinel. The SSE
spec-conformance tests are deleted; sse.spec.ts pins only the
[DONE]/STREAM_CLOSED/EOF contract, including the new spec-strict verdict
that an unterminated trailing event is truncation (the old parser
flushed it — a robustness nicety no real provider shape needs).
eventsource-parser@^3.1.0 becomes llm-deepseek's second runtime
dependency (already in the lockfile transitively via the MCP SDK).
Docs: the Agent Note moves proposed/ → implemented/ and is rewritten per
the lifecycle contract; the rejected NIH roll-up note's inbound links
follow. The twin-adapters note, dsh-llm LlmAdapter JSDoc (and its
type-equiv fences), cookbook, group/package READMEs, root AGENTS.md
layout line, sdk-helper comments, and the regenerated config catalog
drop the "hand-rolled fetch + SSE" claim in both languages; all eight
touched pairs re-recorded.
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.
