The implementation no longer stores inherited policy in SessionHeader or resolves a second baseline chain, but the feature, sandbox, and approval notes still described that machinery. Keeping those claims would make the smaller design look incomplete and invite reintroduction of the generic persistence surface.
Rewrite the owning feature note around the actual delegation snapshot: source-tagged policy events follow the optional fork prefix, ordinary last-event-wins folds establish precedence, and persistence captures the constructor seed with the first materialized batch. Condense the alternatives and consequences to the decisions and coverage that remain load-bearing.
Align the sandbox and approval notes plus the subagent-inprocess consumer README with that contract. Update the four Chinese counterparts minimally and re-record each pairing hash so both languages describe the same shipped mechanism.
The simplification deletes sandbox_mode and approval_policy from the parent branch's SQLite layouts. Restoring master's older version numbers would violate the monotonic schema contract and could make a database created by the parent look current under a different layout.
Advance durable session persistence from schema 11 to 12 and the disposable session-query index from 6 to 7. The former rejects the incompatible parent layout; the latter resets its derived tables through the existing version-mismatch path.
JSONL shares SESSION_FORMAT_VERSION 0 during pre-release, so explicitly reject the retired sandboxMode and approvalPolicy header fields instead of silently dropping the only inherited policy facts from a parent-produced child log. New logs carry those facts as ordinary seeded events.
Focused JSONL, SQLite persistence, and SQLite query suites cover all affected source lines and branches.
New client plugin package. The GoalBar component migrates verbatim from the
original PR (phase labels, inline edit form, resume-when-paused, pending
lockout, inline errors); its data path is rebuilt for the projection model:
- GoalDock adapter reads useProjection('goal') from the standard kit — no
controller, no store, no refresh chain, no event listener (the original
PR's Session goal fields, write-revision fence, and coalesced refetch all
dissolve into the value store's seq rule).
- The inject face carries only the three mutation verbs; each reads the CAS
ref from the session's current projected value at call time and maps the
settled RPC result inline (callbacks from inject, live state from
useProjection).
- Seats at conversation.input.dock order 1 (the slot contract names GoalBar
as a resident of this strip), below TodoPanel/QueueDock, tucked against
the composer; hero phase renders nothing for free.
- IconSparkle16 is package-local (sole consumer) — ui-primitives keeps only
the shared action icons.
- goalbar.spec migrates with GoalSnapshot props (activation is process-local
and absent from the projection; the strip renders durable phase only).
The approval/request waterfall answerer fills the slot the gateway reserved
('registry absent in this minimal version'): an ask through ctx.approval
becomes an answerable approval/requested mux frame with a stable rpcId,
mux open replays still-pending frames (refresh recovery), respond routes
approvals first by the echoed rpcId and cross-checks the payload's audit
correlation, the ask's abort signal withdraws with a broadcast cancelled,
and approval/resolved settles every subscriber. The answerer pairs each ask
with its approval/asked audit event by scanning for the newest undecided,
unclaimed id (callId-matched when the ask names a call); asks that bypassed
the audit path delegate to the fail-closed default.
The child activates only when ctx.approval is composed; the 275-line spec
carries over verbatim at the gateway's new home.
The session.permissions/setPermission unary pair, the PermissionOption wire
DTO, the client Session wrappers, and the fixture/fake mirrors all leave the
wire: the read side moves to the 'permissions' session projection and the
write side moves to the /permission command in follow-up commits, so the
web protocol gains no permission methods at all.
The pendingSwitches + prompt-submit flush + hasOpenTurn move also goes.
Knob events no longer need turn enclosure: the persistence scanner keeps
standalone events after the last turn/end as part of the preserved prefix
(remove-synthetic-log-only-turns), none of the three knob invariants demand
an open turn, and the setters append bare events. An idle switch commits
immediately; hasOpenTurn stays a user-approval private fold (its audit pair
is the one contract that still requires enclosure).
The old PermissionSelect chip and its mount-time fetch die with the RPCs
(the resident composer broke the mount-once assumption); the projection-fed
replacement lands with the Access seat swap.
dsh-goal/types becomes the client-safe pure outlet (tool-todo dual-outlet
shape): GoalId/GoalRef/GoalPhase/GoalBlockReason/GoalSnapshot, the new
GoalProjection payload, and the SessionProjectionMap 'goal' key merge — zero
host imports. Host-coupled vocabulary (GoalView/activation, change metas,
message source, folds, GoalError codes, the scoped goal/changed event) moves
to src/domain.ts, re-exported from the package root. ./client re-exports the
outlet for client aggregates.
GoalService registers the projection unit under ctx.inject(['sessionProjections']):
applyGoalProjection is a projection-grade last-wins fold — plain-JSON state,
same-reference return on non-goal or malformed events (a throwing apply
would tear down the registry drive; strict validation stays with the write
side and foldGoal). Activation is process-local and deliberately absent from
the projection value.
The parent implementation introduced sandboxMode and approvalPolicy as generic SessionHeader fields, then propagated those fields through both persistence backends, session-query indexes, collision checks, policy-specific seed-boundary folds, catalogs, and a broad test matrix. That storage plane is unnecessary: Session already accepts a validated constructor seed, and persistence captures that seed when the session is announced before committing its first batch.
Capture each parent override synchronously at delegation, append source-tagged sandbox/mode and approval/policy records after the optional fork prefix, and create the child with that combined seed. Keeping header.seedLength at the original fork-prefix length preserves lineage while ordinary last-event-wins folds make the inherited records outrank stale parent history and remain subordinate to later child switches. Unswitched parents still stamp nothing, so children continue to follow deployment defaults.
Remove the generic header fields and every persistence/query/schema branch built around them. Collapse the inheritance suite from ten leaking scenarios to four owned-context cases covering real filesystem confinement, stale fork precedence, delegation-time capture, and the no-override path. The assembled headless snapshot now asserts the persisted inheritance event directly.
This keeps the security behavior while restoring policy ownership to the existing event log and deleting the speculative durability machinery that the original tests did not exercise.
39 conflicts resolved per the reattachment plan (missions worktree-projbiz
0728-1859): baseline wins for deleted packages (host/runtime, old ui/acp,
ui-sidebar Rows/tree) and retired specs; unions for wire-layer exports and
client summary fields; the approval takeover, waitingApprovals tracking, and
PendingApproval domain face carry over onto the master structure. The two
new host specs follow the runtime->apiproxy rename. Dead PR-side wiring
(ConversationInjected permissions/setPermission spread, InputBar controls
prop, boot.ts sandbox composition) resolves to master and its replacement
lands in follow-up commits.
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.
Six mutation RPCs (create/edit/pause/resume/complete/clear) move into
dsh-host-apiproxy (the PR's host/runtime carrier is gone): goalService()
resolves ctx.get('goals') with a loud absence error, mutateGoal() resolves
the session's agent (agentFor, the command.* implicit-resume precedent) and
acknowledges with the new CAS ref only. GoalError codes ride err.details.
goal.get and the wire GoalView/goalViewSchema are gone: the read side is the
'goal' session projection (whole values on the history tail page and
session/projection frames), so responses never feed client state — the rule
whose absence forced the original PR's write-revision fences.
Conflict rulings follow the projection-reattach plan:
- host/runtime package (deleted on master): take master; the PR's boot
composition moves to the cordis.yml roster and its goals handlers will be
re-landed in dsh-host-apiproxy; the session.prompt slash interception and
its spec are dropped entirely (superseded by command.execute + command/run
logging).
- client core (rewritten on master): take master; the PR's Session goal
fields/methods, ConversationSnapshot.goal, goalActions injection, and the
hard-mounted GoalBar are all superseded by the 'goal' session projection
(useProjection) and will return as the ui-goal plugin.
- wire contract: union of master's workspace/command/skill domains and the
PR's goal domain, minus goal.get (the read side is the projection block +
session/projection frames; six mutation RPCs stay).
- GoalBar component and spec leave ui-conversation (they re-land in the new
ui-goal package); IconSparkle16 stays in ui-conversation chat.
- The web-slash-command-dispatch note documents the dropped interception and
is removed; the goal-bar note will be rewritten for the projection model.
- pnpm-lock.yaml taken from master (reinstall recomputes).
The check added last commit derived its elevated set from the sheets that
already rebind, which cannot catch the omission it targets: such a set only
confirms what someone already remembered, and a surface nobody has rebound
yet defines itself as unelevated. Review found the case that proves it —
TodoPanel scrolls in .list on a --dsw-specific-tip card, the same dark rung
as the menu surface, unrebound and with the derived check green.
Resolves the set from the palette's own dark elevation ladder instead: the
surface tokens whose dark value lands on bg-layer-2 or bg-layer-3, which is
the step the l1/l2 split encodes. A new palette token on an elevated rung is
in scope the moment it is defined.
Scope is by token family rather than geometry: only --dsw-alias-bg-* and
--dsw-specific-* name a surface. The button, interactive, and markdown
families reach the same rungs while naming a control or an inline span that
no scroll container renders a bar against, and shape cannot separate them
since a floating button carries a radius, a shadow, and a fixed size —
ChatView's .toBottom pill was the false positive that showed this.
Adds the missing TodoPanel rebind. Mutation-checked all four rebinds in
turn: each is named with its surface. The palette anchoring has its own
control — narrowing the family pattern turns it red on --dsw-specific-menu.
Review found three scroll containers sitting on surfaces the rebinding
contract covers, none of which rebound: ui-primitives' shared Menu card
on --dsw-specific-menu (the surface PopupSelectView already rebinds for),
and the composer input and question composer cards, both on
--dsw-specific-input-major. Each rendered the l1 thumb, which differs
from l2 only in the dark palette and only on that surface, so a
light-palette screenshot and a code read both look correct.
Adds the mechanical check that would have caught them instead of leaving
it to inspection: a sheet that scrolls somewhere and paints a known
elevated surface somewhere must rebind. The elevated set is derived from
the sheets that already rebind, since a rebinding rule paints the surface
whose elevation it declares, so a new elevated surface joins the set by
rebinding rather than by anyone updating a list. Surface-level rather than
element-level because the card and the descendant that scrolls are
separate rules and CSS text does not say which contains which. Verified by
reverting each of the three fixes in turn: the check names the sheet and
the surface every time.
Also commits snapshots/sidebar-scrollbar/geometry.expected.md, the
resolved scrollbar style and geometry in both palettes. The aria goldens
the other web scenarios commit cannot carry a CSS-only change, since it
alters no DOM and no accessible name and leaves their trees
byte-identical. Absolute coordinates stay out: they track font metrics and
the laid-out sidebar width, so committing them would document the platform
and force a per-platform re-record.
