Tool and prompt-section visibility is inherited along dsh-scope's parent
chain, and an agent's scope key is minted with no parent. Per-session agent
presets moved every model-facing row onto the agent plane and made
AgentPresets.mount() the one thing that binds that link, from the api-proxy's
session create, resume, and fork paths. The two in-process subagent drivers
installed only the per-child persona and tool filter, so a child's scope chain
had length one and its registry view resolved the global layer alone — which
is empty wherever a preset roster is composed. One-shot children reached the
model with no tools, continuable ones with only the host-plane `report`, and
neither carried its parent's persona, workspace context, or skill catalog.
AgentPresets.composeFrom() joins one agent to the standing composition another
already runs on. It is a bind, not a mount: the child gets its parent's exact
generation, so a composition edited since the parent started cannot fork it
onto another one, and it is synchronous, which is what lets a child creation
window use it. applyChildComposition() now takes the parent and performs the
join first, making a child composed without it unrepresentable at the call
sites. childSessionMeta() records the joined id so a cold read rebuilds the
composition the child actually ran under.
The audit that followed found two api-proxy readers on the wrong authority:
presenterScopeFor() and the live-agent branch of assertPresetUnchanged() both
read header.agentPreset, which goes stale the moment a blank session switches
preset. A switched session's cold transcript resolved presenters in the older
composition's layer and silently degraded to generic cards, and the gateway
refused to adopt a live session under the preset it actually runs while
accepting the one it left. Both now resolve through resolveSessionPreset(),
matching the resume branch fifteen lines above. The owning architecture Agent
Note carried the stale claim that the header records what a session runs; it
is corrected to name the header/log pair and its three readers.
Fixes#2165
The assembled Web snapshot lane selected its locale with a `dsh.locale`
localStorage key. That key stopped selecting anything once the locale
preference moved to the Host settings document, so the image-display
scenario's Chinese expectations met the English default and failed.
Pin the navigator languages the boot env already documents, and state the
image-display expectations in the lane's English copy — the fixture session
title stays Chinese because it is fixture data, not product copy.
`ScopedLayers.effect` already returns an exact `() => void`, so the inherited
`() => void dispose()` wrapper voided a void — two lint rules, four errors.
The scoped layer's own teardown had no test, which is the registry-contribution
disposal contract the testing policy requires and the only path that calls
`TaskLayer.isEmpty()`: `ScopedLayers` prunes a scope's layer when its last
contribution disposes. The new case mounts one plugin contributing both a
surface and a listener into one scope, then unloads it and observes that the
agents which joined that scope are refused again.

One host registry serves every composition in the process, so its two
service-wide collections answered per-owner questions process-wide. `start()`
asked only whether SOME surface was attached, so an agent whose own composition
loads no `tool-tasks` could start work it has no tool to collect or stop as soon
as any other preset attached one — and the answer changed depending on which
sessions happened to be open. `settle()` walked every registered listener, so a
task settling without a waiter injected one completion notice per mounted
preset into the same owner.
Both collections now sit in `ScopedLayers`, the layered-registry primitive
`tools` and `skills` already use: a registration files into its registering
context's scope, and a read unions the global layer with the owner's scope
chain. A surface or listener registered from an unscoped context lands in the
global layer and serves every owner, which is exactly the host-plane
composition's own controls, so the TUI path is unchanged without a special
case.
This supersedes the consumer-side filter in the previous commit. That filter
produced the right notices but sat in the wrong layer: it left the `start()`
gate process-wide, it could not be enforced against a producer that resolves
the registry directly, and it made a Consumer carry scope knowledge that the
other layered registries keep in the registry. `tool-tasks` is scope-agnostic
again and the `dsh-scope` edge moves to `tasks-local`.
`start()`'s refusal is now owner-relative, so its model-visible text names the
agent rather than the process. The shipped `minimal` preset keeps
`enableRunInBackground: false`, no longer as the safety boundary — the registry
owns that now — but so an agent that could never collect a task is not offered
the parameter at all.
Refs #2141
Moving the task registry to the host plane put every preset's `tool-tasks`
listener on ONE `LocalTaskService`. `settle()` computes a single snapshot and
walks every registered listener with no scope filter, and it marks `reported`
only when a waiter is present — so a task settling without a waiter reached
each mount's listener with `reported` false and every one of them injected the
same completion into the same owner. Three shipped presets carry `tool-tasks`,
and a preset file edit adds a second generation of the same mount, so an agent
read N copies of one notice as model-visible durable context.
A mount now claims an owner only when the owner's scope chain reaches the
mount's own scope. An unscoped mount is the host-plane instance that serves
every agent, which keeps the TUI composition and every existing test intact.
Registry-side ownership was the alternative: mark `reported` once the first
listener claims it. It is wrong because `onTaskDone` is not a notice-only
seam — the `dsh-tasks` invariant companion registers a validating listener —
so first-claim-wins would silence observers that are not delivering anything.
The regression test mounts two scoped `tool-tasks` over one registry and
settles an unowned-wait task, which is the only path that reaches the notice
listeners at all: the shipped-composition e2e uses `wait: true`, and a waiter
marks `reported` before settlement, so that test structurally cannot cover it.
Also corrects the standing-mounts Agent Note, which still listed `tasks-local`
among the stateful PRESET plugins.
