Retarget the feature branch to the current master tip without rewriting its existing review history. Keeping this as a dedicated merge checkpoint makes the later simplification diff attributable to the stacked child rather than mixing base movement with design changes.
Resolve the identified-message API drift in the feature tests by constructing complete user messages, reading the nested tool-result message shape, and adapting the prompt-submit listener signature. Preserve both sides of the user-approval conflict: master’s createUserMessage wrapper and the feature’s inherited-policy attribution.
Regenerate the Cordis and persistence catalogs, re-record the session README pair, and refresh the affected ACP/headless fixtures so derived artifacts describe the merged source rather than either parent in isolation.
Validated with the focused policy/session/persistence/query suites (430 tests), focused ACP/headless snapshots (3 tests), build, doc-sync (25 gates), lint, hygiene, and git diff checks.
Implements the turndown Agent Note from the NIH dependency audit (full
variant, not the minimal entities-only fallback): dsh-tool-web's fetch
rendering now converts HTML through turndown + @joplin/turndown-plugin-gfm
(atx headings, fenced code, dash bullets, GFM tables/strikethrough) over
the real domino DOM, with script/style/noscript removed wholesale. The
hand-rolled ~86-line regex converter html.ts and its entity tables are
deleted; renderBody wraps the conversion in try/catch falling back to
the raw HTML body, because turndown's recursive DOM walk overflows with
a RangeError on pathological nesting (measured: 4k levels on the main
thread, 8k in a worker) where the regex version could never throw.
Closure weight, measured: tool-web IS in the single-exe runtime closure,
and the exe asset globs would pack ~7.9 MB of the three new packages —
but ~6 MB of that is domino's test corpus, with runtime lib/ at ~550 KB
against a ~174 MB artifact (<0.5% either way), so the swap wins.
Per testing policy the previously-missing keyless web_fetch snapshot
ships in the same change: the acp-agent `web-fetch` scenario boots a new
web.cordis.yml overlay (web seam + real dsh-web-fetch-local provider +
tool-web fetch-only + a loopback HTTP fixture server on a fixed port
serving deterministic HTML with entities, a GFM table, and nesting), so
recording and keyless replay both drive the real HTTP fetch and real
conversion end to end; the scenario pins the new `web` header class.
The Agent Note moves proposed -> implemented and is rewritten per the
lifecycle contract (Decision/Consequences/Testing, closure verdict and
alternatives recorded); tool-web and acp-agent READMEs updated in both
languages and pairs re-recorded.
Per-session policy overrides (sandbox/mode, approval/policy) never crossed
the delegation boundary: a spawn child of a read-only-switched parent ran
under the wider deployment default, and a fork child missed any switch made
after its seed boundary — delegation was a bypass channel for a user's
tightening.
The in-process driver now snapshots the delegating parent's override chain
and stamps it onto the child through the canonical write paths
(SandboxPolicyService.inheritOverride / ApprovalService.inheritOverride),
anchored inside the child's first turn via a one-shot agent/prompt-submit
listener: turn-enclosed (durable), ahead of the first request (an inherited
'never' reaches the child's first system prompt), and positioned after any
stale fork-seed switch so the ordinary last-event-wins fold resolves it.
Only overrides are copied — an unswitched parent stamps nothing and the
child follows the live deployment default; both services are consumed
opportunistically, so compositions without them delegate unchanged. Nesting
composes by construction (each stamp folds the already-stamped parent log).
Evidence: inheritance.spec.ts drives scripted-model children into the real
dsh-fs-sandbox fence through the real write tool (disk-state + denial-marker
assertions; spawn, stale-seed fork, grandchild, escalation fail-closed, and
no-stamp guards), inheritOverride contract tests in both service suites, and
the recorded subagent-sandbox-inheritance ACP snapshot (read-only preset →
delegate → child denied, replayed keylessly).
See .agents/notes/implemented/feature/2026-07-25-subagent-policy-inheritance.md.
A well-formed provider stream that ends with finish_reason stop and zero
content blocks previously became a successful empty assistant message: the
turn completed silently, and drivers like goal-session counted the no-op
round. Both adapters now map that degenerate completion to a finish
{kind:'error'} with the new canonical EMPTY_RESPONSE code from dsh-llm, and
dsh-llm-retry adds the code to its default retryable set, so the existing
closed-step recovery path retries it and fails loud once the budget is
exhausted.
Covered by adapter unit tests, an llm-retry default-policy test, and a new
authored keyless ACP snapshot (empty-response-retry) with a deterministic
1 ms zero-jitter retry overlay.
Replace send/steer/inject with one Agent.send primitive over the
(target × wakeup) matrix; followup/steer/inject become fixed-preset
alias methods on the now-abstract Agent class. Coalesce context/message
into user/message (injected context is a non-user source). Replace
agent/queued with agent/inbox/enqueue/dequeue/discard, add cancel
keepInbox, and add a FIFO-conservation invariant.
An overlay pair switches the acp demo's packChunks on; the authored fixture
(text-turn's recording refreshed through that overlay) commits a session.jsonl
whose reasoning run persists as one packed reasoning-chunks row while the
short text run stays verbatim. Keyless replay proves the packed fixture
derives the same model script (fixture reading is layout-blind) and the
re-persisted log packs identically — the transcript surface of the packChunks
switch is now pinned without touching any existing golden.
Delete packages/ui/stdio and examples/repl-agent; rename stdio-demo to
@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui-demo (TUI-only, refuses pipes before Loader boot).
tui-agent owns the coding composition inline; echo-agent and the CI demo
smoke move to the one-shot cli-demo bin, which gains -p/--prompt. The
UI-independent with-key e2es move verbatim to tui-agent. SDK wizard's
'stdio' interface becomes 'tui'. PTY testing stays confined to TUI
surfaces; all other subprocess tests ride pipes.

Master arrivals re-grafted onto the plan-mode surfaces:
- Package invariant runtime contracts: every package owns ./invariant —
added the dsh-mode companion (mode/set payload validation: non-empty
trimmed name), its unit spec, exports/peer wiring, and the mode group in
the tsconfig invariant paths glob.
- Interception waterfalls gained an AbortSignal parameter
(agent/prompt-submit, agent/turn-continuation) and ToolExecutionInput.signal
became required: listeners and test dispatch updated; the exit tool now
forwards exec.signal unconditionally.
- TUI question dialog: master's position/unanswered header layout kept,
the plan-review detail block re-grafted between question and answers.
- LSP capability family arrived: lsp tool joins the catalog pin, dsh-lsp
examples deps beside dsh-mode; lsp-definition snapshot refreshed with
the mode command and modes advertisement.
- docs/architecture.md and packages/README.md regenerated tables re-grafted
(ctx.modes row, mode package row) and condensed within word ceilings.
- examples/acp-agent cordis.yml: kept the deployment-owned plan instructions
(incl. the conversational-agreement sentence) beside master's routed-model
compaction comment; snapshot expected outputs refreshed keyless and noise
fixtures restored.
