Review follow-up: the blanket 10s default correctly targets worker-thread
cold-start races (starting, first-script-line, async child-registration
messages — genuinely CPU-bound under CI contention), but four waits assert
something different — that the HOST reacted PROMPTLY to an event that
already happened (a settled result, an observed worker death). Those had no
cold-start left to wait on, so the generous default just widened the window
a real regression could hide in.
Verified by injecting a 6s delay into the settle-reap's abort call: the
un-overridden helper's test still passed in ~6s. The same mutation now fails
in ~1s with the explicit 1000ms override restored on all four sites (the
abort-on-settle test's own assertion, the two worker-death cancel/dispose
reap checks, and the dispose-ack-race check). The other 12 waits keep the
10s default — they run BEFORE a result is awaited, waiting on the worker to
actually start rather than on a host reaction. Doc comment corrected to
describe the split instead of claiming every wait is a cold-start race.
The spec's 16 vi.waitFor sites used the 1s default timeout to wait for
worker-thread startup and child registration — CPU-bound work that blows
past 1s on a contended runner. The CI coverage lane (4 vitest workers plus
suites that spawn real subprocesses) hit this 3 times across 4 recent PR
runs, each a different subset of the cancellation/worker-death tests, each
green on rerun.
Every wait now goes through a shared helper with a 10s bound, and the file
sets a 30s test timeout to make room for it. The one deliberately tight
wait keeps its 800ms bound through the helper's override — it proves the
host (not the wedged worker's later loop turn) delivered the cancel, so a
generous bound would erase what it tests. No behavior under test changed.
The empty-env hardening wiped the one variable the UNBUILT worker's
loader depends on: tsx finds a tsconfig by searching up from the
worker's cwd, and a parent running outside the repo (the ACP snapshot
harness pins the repo tsconfig through TSX_TSCONFIG_PATH exactly
because its child cwd is a temp dir) lost the dsh-* paths map - the
worker then resolved workspace imports to unbuilt lib/ bundles and died
on CI with ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND (green locally only because stale built
lib/ masked the wrong resolution).
Forward exactly that variable when the parent carries it - loader
plumbing, not a secret; the built shape stays fully empty - and pin the
whole contract with an escape-based test: the worker env is exactly
{TSX_TSCONFIG_PATH}, the credential canary still never crosses.
Adopts #211 (Code Mode tools: run_code + the code/both-mode snapshot
scenarios). Tool-catalog expectations take the union (run_code +
task_*); the two new pinsHeader fixtures (code-mode-turn,
both-mode-turn) were recorded on master without the task runtime, so
they are re-pinned KEYLESSLY by replaying their recorded chunks against
the merged tree (same procedure as text-turn) — the fixture diff is
exactly the header delta: task tool schemas, the tool:tasks prompt
section, and the bash background wording.
The documented vm escape reaches process, and the worker inherited the
harness's env - so a buggy or prompt-injected script could read and
exfiltrate ambient credentials (DEEPSEEK_API_KEY et al.) without
touching a single file (ds-review-bot finding on #233).
Spawn with env: {} and a hermetic execArgv on both runtime shapes, the
same stance as dsh-code-runtime-worker and stronger than the scrubbed
env the defensive-patterns rule requires for spawned commands (a shell
needs PATH; this worker needs nothing). Ambient-channel hardening only:
an escapee keeps the process-wide privileges the trust premise already
admits - the genuine sandbox remains an engine swap.
enableRunInBackground: false removed the parameter from the advertised
schema only — the arg validator deliberately allows undeclared keys, so
a caller (or a model that has seen the parameter elsewhere) could still
force run_in_background: true and start background work past the
deployment's opt-out, in both tool-bash and tool-subagent. Both
producers now refuse the forced key loud in execute(); tests pin the
refusal (and that nothing spawns) alongside the untouched foreground
path; the schema-omission-is-advertising rule is recorded in the
runtime RFC and both READMEs.
Two windows where settle() could read a live waiter count, mark the
task reported (suppressing the completion notice), and then watch that
waiter reject with 'wait aborted' delivering nothing — leaving the
owning session with no terminal notification at all:
- abort and settlement in the same tick, settle continuation ordered
first: the waiter now un-counts itself SYNCHRONOUSLY inside onAbort
(the finally decrement alone lands a microtask too late), so the
settle path sees no live waiter and the notice fires;
- abort landing after settlement but before the wait's resolve
microtask: the wait now resolves and DELIVERS the terminal snapshot
it owes instead of rejecting (settlement suppressed the notice on
this waiter's behalf).
Both windows pinned by deterministic tests that fail on the previous
implementation; wait()'s abort contract updated in JSDoc/README/RFC.
agent-end was worker-authored only, so a start already forwarded to
observers lost its paired end whenever the worker could no longer speak
- the grace force-settle terminating a wedged script, or an unexpected
worker death - stranding progress consumers with agents that never
finish (ds-review-bot finding on #233).
The host now keeps a ledger of forwarded starts and funnels every
agent-end through one gate: worker-reported ends pair (and clear) their
entry, and both termination paths drain the remainder as synthesized
'cancelled' ends BEFORE the run settles, so ends always precede
workflow/end. A real settlement racing the force-settle loses to the
synthesized cancellation - the same first-wins override onResult applies
to the run's own result.
Adopts #220 (tool-cordis + the gen-cordis-api gate: the runtime API
catalog regenerated with ctx.tasks/onCleanup on it) and #225 (shared
transcript renderer). Tool-catalog expectations take the union
(cordis_* + task_*); packages/README budget adopts master's 660
ceiling, which absorbs both new group rows.
Systematic trace through Zed (crates/agent_ui thread_view.rs +
crates/acp_thread): kind:execute routes a tool call onto the
terminal-card layout, whose header (render_collapsible_command) has NO
disclosure toggle, whose body content renders only when is_open — a
flag only a real terminal entity can ever set — and which suppresses
the Raw Input view outright. Every prior attempt (rawInput, pending
content, completed content) targeted slots that layout structurally
never renders; the one slot it always shows is the TITLE, which said
"Run code". codex-acp confirms the idiom: execute cards are titled
with the command itself.
presentCall now titles the card with the program (rawInput kept as the
canonical input slot); presentResult omits the title — an update
replaces only provided fields, so the program header persists — and
carries the captured output as content. Goldens re-recorded; the unit
test pins title-carries-program on both frames.
The sandbox execute wrapper JSON round-tripped the return and blindly cast it
to ToolExecuteReturn. A JSON-valid but wrong-shape return — a bare string,
{ content: 'ok' }, blocks without a type tag — sailed through: the registry
spreads result.content, so { content: 'ok' } became ['o','k'], passed the
session log's isJsonValue gate, and the DeepSeek serializer then flattened it
to '(no output)' — silent corruption of the next model request and every
replay, instead of a contained tool error.
The round-tripped value is now shape-checked against the two ToolExecuteReturn
forms (array of content blocks, or { content: blocks, meta? }); block checks
are structural only (plain object + string type tag) because the ContentBlock
union is merge-extensible. A wrong shape — and the formerly cryptic
forgot-return/bare-string cases — fails that one call with a teaching error
echoing a truncated preview of what was returned and the two valid forms.
New specs pin the object-form pass-through (meta included), six rejection
shapes, and the preview truncation; per-file 100% coverage holds.
The previous commit put the fenced program only on the pending card —
but an ACP tool_call_update's content REPLACES the card content (Zed
truncates to the new list, crates/acp_thread update_fields), so the
code vanished the moment the run completed and was effectively never
visible. presentResult now re-carries the fenced program before the
captured output via a shared fencedProgram helper; the completed card
body is program + output, rendered by Zed as syntax-highlighted
markdown behind the card disclosure. Goldens re-recorded (filtered
this time: DSH_SNAPSHOT=record vitest -u -t mode-turn); unit test pins
the two-block result content.
start({ kind, label, owner, run }) preflights everything that can fail
(the attachSurface fence, validation, the owner-cleanup attach) BEFORE
invoking the producer's run() starter, then commits atomically —
'work started but never got a collectable id' is now structurally
impossible instead of a producer try/catch rollback obligation (the
P1 review fix, rebuilt on #185's declare/execute split). Producers
lose their catch-wraps; the leak tests now pin the stronger property
that a failed preflight never spawns anything. TaskRegistration splits
into TaskStart (identity + run) and TaskHooks (cancel/done/readOutput);
docs, type-equiv manifest, catalogs, and both RFCs move with it.
ctx.tasks.wait arms a deadline() fusing the caller's abort with the
wait timeout and classifies the outcome with timeoutOf scoped to the
new TASK_WAIT_TIMEOUT code: a wait timeout resolves to the live
snapshot (the task keeps running), a caller abort rejects the wait —
same contract, no hand-rolled timer/listener plumbing, and a nested
foreign deadline can no longer misread as a wait timeout. task_output
deliberately declares NO ToolDefinition.timeoutMs: timeout-policy
turns a timed-out call into a structured TOOL_TIMEOUT failure, but a
timed-out wait is a SUCCESS that must still report [status: running]
(decision recorded in the runtime RFC alternatives).
Adopts #185 (dsh-timeout: clampTimeout/deadline/timeoutOf drive bash
run() timeout classification; runBash loses its own timer) and #108
(ask_user_question) across the task-runtime rework: bash-local keeps
the BashProcess handle shape with master's deadline mechanics, tool
catalogs/expectations carry both the task_* and ask-user tools, and
generated docs are regenerated on the union.
One shared ctx.tasks registry (branded <kind>-N ids, owner-fenced
read/kill/wait/list, attachSurface misconfiguration fence, reported-flag
notice dedup, atomic register) + dsh-tool-tasks (task_output/task_list/
task_kill, completion-notice injection, background prompt habit).
Producers opt in via their own enableRunInBackground config: bash
(stream kind; seam slimmed to resolve/run/start returning a BashProcess
handle, bash_output/bash_kill deleted) and subagent (final-output kind;
done settles after run.dispose()). Owner disposal drains tasks through
the new awaited ctx.agents.onCleanup seam in the loop's disposal chain.
Both RFCs moved to implemented/; docs, catalogs, snapshots re-pinned.
