Two had real security consequences:
The bootstrap rejection ran on npm dotenv's parser while process.loadEnvFile
applied the file with Node's own. Two independently maintained dialects meant
the check and the thing it guards could disagree: a name Node accepts but the
checker misses would reach process.env unchecked, and BASH_ENV there runs a
file of the project's choosing on every `bash -c` the bash tool issues. Parse
once with node:util's parseEnv — the same engine loadEnvFile uses — and assign
the entries already checked, which also drops the dotenv dependency.
llm-pi-ai still returned a literal profile.apiKey ahead of everything, and it
registers a settings namespace, so the defect removed from llm-deepseek
survived intact in its design twin. The field is gone from the profile schema,
the resolution path, and the tests.
The rest are consistency and documentation defects the review named:
- verify-config-source-ownership did not scan the Python runtime's bundled
cordis.yml, which still inlined apiKey and baseURL. Both are covered now, and
the line-anchored INLINE_DENY documents that it is a tripwire, not a parser.
- The deny list missed NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED, the askpass hooks, the
GIT_CONFIG_* redirections, and PYTHONHOME — all implied by its own stated
rule about what a variable does.
- Snapshot lookups folded case on Windows, where environment names are
case-insensitive and an exact-match Map could miss a higher-ranked layer.
- The credentials note claimed a read-time permission check was "not taken"
while this PR implemented it; the credentials-local README still described
two layers, live process.env reads, dotenv-era limitations, and a renamed
anchor; the llm-deepseek README still advertised the removed literal apiKey;
and web.ts and base.cordis.yml kept personal-overlay wording.
- The ownership note's literal-apiKey claim now names its scope: the
web-search providers keep a literal field but register no settings
namespace, so nothing can shadow a stored credential through them.
The modern IFileOpenDialog becomes the primary win32 tier: a koffi-driven
COM conversation on a worker_threads worker (the modal Show never blocks
the host event loop), per-monitor-v2 DPI via SetThreadDpiAwarenessContext,
and abort service by re-posting WM_CLOSE to the dialog thread's windows,
with terminate+unref as the last resort (Node cannot interrupt a thread
blocked in native code, and such a worker must never hold the process open).
The PowerShell chain stays as the fallback tier with its trigger widened
from ENOENT to any pwsh failure, closing the review-flagged PowerShell 6
regression (no WinForms: exit 1, not ENOENT, so 5.1 never ran).
Layering keeps per-file coverage honest on every host: pure sequencing and
the driver test against fakes anywhere; the bindings run against a mocked
koffi COM world (the session-persistence-jsonl technique); POSIX hosts
drive the real spawn plumbing to its koffi-load rejection; win32 hosts run
a real open-and-abort-close smoke. The smoke joins processBoundTests: a
worker blocked in a native modal wedges the threads pool's teardown, while
a fork contains it. The worker bundles as its own CJS tsdown entry
(workflow-workerthread's pattern; no TLA), and the host module is imported
statically so the node-half bundle stays chunk-free.
Built-plane and real-COM behavior verified on native Windows: standalone
probes for the source worker, the built CJS worker, and the driver's abort
path all open and close the real dialog.
Agent Notes: new implemented/feature/2026-08-02-win32-in-process-folder-dialog
(bilingual) owns the decision; the DPI note is re-scoped to the fallback tier
it now describes and its AutoUpgradeEnabled attribution corrected (.NET Core
3.0 rewrote FolderBrowserDialog; the opt-out arrived in .NET 6).
Master removed the TUI package, the `meta` and `upgrade` subcommands, and
`--config-replace`, and made raw `dsh` require a `--config` overlay. Resolved
onto that shape:
- Dropped this branch's TUI edits with the surface itself, including
`tui.cordis.yml`, `runTui`, and the TUI keyless PTY smoke.
- Dropped the `--config-replace` plumbing rather than reintroducing a flag
master deliberately removed. The gap this branch fixed remains: `dsh -p`
still could not name its composition, so it keeps `--config`.
- Kept this branch's deletion of the personal `$DSH_HOME/config.yaml` layer,
which master still carried, and provided the environment snapshot in the new
raw `runConfig` surface alongside web and headless.
- Ported the headless shutdown PTY test off the personal overlay onto a named
`--config` file, which is what proves that flag now exists on `-p`.
$DSH_HOME/.env had just become an ordinary environment layer, which left the
harness resolving user-facing values from a flattened process.env that could
no longer say where a value came from. A key stored through the web page
stayed shadowed by an older key in the user's own .env. An endpoint could be
redirected by the project: the invoking directory's .env is materialized like
every other layer, and a base URL decides where a resolved API key is sent, so
a DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL written into a model-editable workspace would send the
user's credential — and the prompts carrying their code — to whatever host
that file named.
Give every user-facing value one ordering, with four kinds of source:
explicit for this run per-operation override, CLI argument
> authored by deployment --config / --config-replace
> this launch's shell inherited process environment
> product-managed store settings.yaml, .credentials.yaml
> discovered file $DSH_HOME/.env
> defaults schema default, shipped base, public default
The domains differ only in which tiers exist. The earlier split — credentials
ranking the environment over the managed file while settings ranked over the
environment — was inconsistent: the distinguishing fact is who authored the
source, not the domain.
packages/util/environment owns an immutable snapshot with per-layer
provenance. getFrom(name, sources) searches only the layers a caller names,
and omitting one is a refusal rather than a demotion: the adapters ask for
['process', 'user-env'], so no reordering can let a project file back into a
decision it was excluded from.
isBootstrapOnly rejects, before anything is materialized, any .env setting a
variable that governs how a process launches (PATH, SHELL, NODE_OPTIONS,
LD_PRELOAD), where code or model-visible instructions load from (the whole
DSH_* namespace, HOME, XDG_*), or how the network is reached (proxy and CA
variables). The namespace is denied wholesale so a switch added later cannot
become settable by being forgotten, and there is no opt-out.
verify-config-source-ownership keeps both rules: no unregistered process.env
read under packages/*/*/src (26 allowlisted with reasons), and no apiKey,
baseURL, or headers inlined from the environment in shipped Cordis config —
removing those inlines is what makes the deployment tier meaningful.
$DSH_HOME/.env carried two incompatible jobs. As credentials-local's writable
secret store it could not be hoisted into process.env — hoisting makes every
stored key read as a read-only launch override and blocks rotation from the
TUI and the web page. But its name and dotenv format promise an environment
file, so a DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL sitting beside a working DEEPSEEK_API_KEY in the
same file was silently ignored: only the credential provider read the
document, and it addresses credential references alone.
Split the two jobs into two files.
.credentials.yaml is the provider-managed store: a strict YAML mapping of
CredentialRef to non-empty string, no version field, no wrapper level. Because
it holds credentials and nothing else, a non-mapping root, a non-identifier
key, a non-string value, an empty string, a duplicate key, and malformed YAML
are all rejections rather than skipped entries — loud at boot and at a write,
warn-and-keep-last-good on a live reload. The dotenv physical-line editor
gives way to a patch of the parsed document, so comments and untouched entries
keep their formatting and any string value round-trips, multi-line included.
Writer lock, read-modify-write, atomic 0600 write under a 0700 directory,
watcher, self-write suppression, and quiescent disposal are unchanged.
$DSH_HOME/.env becomes the user's ordinary environment layer. app-boot's new
loadLayeredEnv loads the invoking directory's .env then the Harness home's,
giving user < project < inherited; the home resolves from the inherited
environment first, so a project .env cannot redirect it.
Credential precedence is unchanged: the live environment still wins read-only
over the file, and shadowed writes still reject. Whether a provider-managed
store should instead win over the environment is a separate decision.
No migration: a key already in $DSH_HOME/.env keeps resolving through the new
environment layer, as a read-only env source that shadows the stored one.
session-title already registers a title projection unit; /resume now
reads it instead of scanning logs: live rows from the registry
snapshot, persisted rows from the durable checkpoint row
(cachedSnapshot, zero I/O), and only rows without a usable checkpoint
pay a coldSnapshot — checkpoint plus readFrom tail, written back so the
next scan is metadata-only. Cold reads are bounded by the new
resumeScanConcurrency config; compositions without the cache fall back
to the bounded readTitleSnapshots batch. The TUI overlay mounts the
projection registry, storage, and projection-cache rows over the same
storages root the web surface uses, so checkpoints serve both.
The localized catalog spec introduced two package-local translation stubs: one manually looped over interpolation parameters and the other indexed the Chinese dictionary directly. That duplicates framework test plumbing and can drift from the shared lookup, fallback, and placeholder semantics used by the rest of the client suites.
Use makeTranslate from dsh-client-test-runtime as the single Chinese translator for both catalog and read-only composer assertions. Record the test-only workspace dependency in the ui-subagent manifest and lockfile; no production dependency or runtime bundle edge is added.
This removes twelve lines of local translation behavior while preserving the same Chinese assertions and exercising the shared interpolation path. Both ui-subagent test files pass with all 28 tests, the package TypeScript project checks cleanly, and the staged diff passes formatting, lint, and whitespace hooks.
Implements the durable-subagent-catalog RFC: SubagentControlService.listChildren()
enumerates a parent's direct continuable children from one sessionQuery trace,
validates each child's sole subagent/descriptor event (now carrying the durable
creation label), and returns one ordered SubagentListEntry[] with per-child
corrupt/unsupported/unavailable diagnostics. The list_agents tool ships as a
separately loadable plugin of dsh-tool-subagent-control requiring sessionQuery
at load; send_message stays usable without it.
Remove the host-user continuation capability and the public residency query,
then separate the seam's public event payloads from its internal lifecycle
control interfaces.
`followup()` now takes the exact live direct parent `Agent` instead of a
`SubagentAuthority` union. No production adapter ever supplied user authority,
so the `UserAuthorityGrant` brand token existed only to stop a forged
discriminant from bypassing the direct-parent check — deleting the branch
retires the token, its mint method, and that attack surface together.
Narrowing `parent` from `Agent | undefined` to `Agent` removes three special
cases, including the path where a parentless epoch dispatched its lifecycle
events unscoped. Scoped-versus-global dispatch is now decided by the event, not
by whether a caller happened to have a parent.
`activationState()` had no caller; `ActivationState`, `ActivationObserver`, and
`ContinuationHost` are package-private.
New `src/lifecycle.ts` owns the contained emitter, the one-shot run observer,
and the Activation observer, while `SubagentRunInfo`/`SubagentRunEndInfo` move
to `src/types.ts` beside the other consumer-facing contracts. Those payloads are
public API — dsh-jsonrpc, hooks-claude, and the package invariant all consume
them — whereas the observer is a contract between two in-package collaborators,
so they no longer share a home merely for both being lifecycle-shaped. The
service keeps ownership of the scope carrier: `scopeTarget()` composes the
service's own context filter, so a narrowed stand-in would silently change
scope filtering.
Also drops now-unused dsh-tasks-local and dsh-tool-tasks dev dependencies, and
corrects the README claim that a pre-residency failure emits a terminal edge —
that path only ever rethrew.
- Wire the control service and send_message tool into every shipped
composition with a resumable provider and background enabled
(headless-agent, tui-agent, and the SDK helper's subagent feature
base resources); jsonrpc-agent disables background and is unchanged.
- Resolve the send_message availability check in the CALLER's tool
scope so a restriction that removes the follow-up tool from one
agent also blocks that agent's continuable start.
- Control-service disposal now cancels live activations and awaits
producer settlement instead of stranding them: TaskService keeps
producer Tasks across a reload, so the disposing service aborts each
activation-owned controller, resolves its terminal gate (the
effect-scoped onTaskDone listener is already gone), and awaits done.
A new test kills a mid-start activation through HMR disposal.
Implement the continuable background subagents RFC: a durable child
session with a series of Task-backed activations, each disposing its
run before the Task settles.
- dsh-subagent: rename SubagentRun.sendMessage to strict steer, drop
run-level resume, add SubagentProvider.resume dispatch via
SubagentService.resume, the continuation start field, and the
versioned model-hidden subagent/descriptor session event.
- dsh-subagent-inprocess/-spawn/-fork: publish the control-allocated
child id, append the descriptor inside the initial turn, implement
cold resume from the child's own transcript under the live parent
scope, and strict running-only steer.
- dsh-subagent-control (new): SubagentControlService owning stable
child ids, descriptor snapshot/fold/authorization, Task-backed
activation with settle-then-dispose ordering, the process-local
active-run association, and steer-or-resume sendMessage routing.
- dsh-tool-subagent: background route branches on the provider's
resume capability (continuable via the control service; one-shot
task for ACP), returning both child and task ids.
- dsh-tool-subagent-control (new): the globally named send_message
tool rendering steered/started routes.
Keyless coverage spans Task ownership and disposal ordering, running
delivery, cold follow-up, descriptor rejection and rollback, known-id
reconstruction, kill during lookup, admission races, and a new
subagent-continuable ACP snapshot scenario.
The shipped-roster change made @deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-session-query a
default row of the shared base.cordis.yml, so the TUI and Web surfaces
put the five session-search tools in front of the model. That
contradicts the recorded opt-in stance for the model-facing session
query consumer; the ACP example remains the mounted reference.
Remove the row from the shared base, the now-dangling disabled patch in
the opt-in core-web profile, and the workspace dependency. The
ctx.sessionQuery index stays: the TUI's /resume and the Web content
search consume it directly. Both shipped-composition tests now pin the
20-tool catalog.
Windows-native execution foundation: PwshLocalExecutor implements the bash
executor seam over ctx.subprocess (pwsh -NoLogo -NoProfile -NonInteractive
-Command, one argv element, no quoting layer; resolvePwshPath probes
PowerShell 7 / PATH / Windows PowerShell 5.1 as a pure function), and
tool-pwsh is the minimal PowerShell-dialect model-facing tool over ctx.bash
(foreground only, managed DSH_* env, timeout/signal/exit markers, terminal
and generic presenters). Both packages carry full suites (real pwsh,
self-skipping without it) at per-file 100% coverage; vitest's Windows
exclusion narrows from packages/bash/* to the bash-requiring packages so the
pwsh suites run natively on Windows too. The CLI gains the workspace deps
and tsconfig projects without mounting either plugin; the Windows-default
roadmap is recorded as a proposed Agent Note.
glob/grep now run the @vscode/ripgrep binary via ctx.subprocess with a plain
argv vector: no system rg install, no shell layer, unconditional registration.
The load-time command -v rg probe and the bash-seam coupling are removed;
timeouts ride the cooperative exec.signal plus the seam's terminate
escalation. The fs-glob-sampling ACP snapshot executes the real packaged
binary against an mtime-pinned fixture. Adds the packaged-ripgrep-search
Agent Note, updates the roster-note facts and both shipped-composition e2es,
and regenerates the doc catalogs and third-party notices (surfacing
pre-existing manifest drift plus the new @vscode/ripgrep row; the notices
generator also learns pnpm 11's truncated virtual-store names).
