Review fixes (ds-review-bot on #623):
- Capture-at-delegation: the driver now reads overrideOf(parent.session)
for both knobs synchronously before its first await, and the prompt-submit
listener stamps those captured values — a parent switch racing the child's
asynchronous creation belongs to the parent's future, not the child. The
inheritOverride(parent, child) service method is split into its two halves
(overrideOf / stampOverride) accordingly.
- Veto safety: the one-shot prompt-submit listener registers with
prepend: true, so a veto-capable listener (a denying UserPromptSubmit
hook) cannot close the child's first turn without the durable stamp.
Both regressions are pinned red-first in inheritance.spec.ts: the
delegation-vs-late-switch race (delegate tool flips the caller wider while
the creation transaction is pending) and a blocking prompt-submit listener
(stamp survives a promptless first turn). Service contract tests renamed to
the split API; READMEs and the bilingual Agent Note updated.
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).
