Round-1 Codex review findings on the tool-schema catalog:
(A) The shipped coding-agent / acp-agent configs load dsh-tool-subagent twice —
as `subagent` (spawn backend) and `subagent_fork` (fork backend) — so the model
sees a `subagent_fork` tool the catalog never mentioned, while the intro claimed
to list "the exact name the model receives". The registered name is the plugin's
load-time `toolName` config, not a package fact, so rather than bake an
example-app config into a packages-scoped generator, add a per-package deployment
`note`: the subagent entry now records the `subagent_fork` alias and points at the
leaf configs. Intro and RFC scope reworded to state the unit is the package (at
its default config), with aliases noted — no longer overclaiming. A test asserts
the note names `subagent_fork`, covering the config-driven-name path.
(B) collectToolCatalog only disposed the context on the success path; a throw from
mount/schemas() after earlier plugins mounted would leak the fiber. Move
`ctx.fiber.dispose()` into a `finally` per the repo's dispose-to-quiescence rule.
Rename per review naming decisions:
- package dsh-file-context → dsh-fs-policy (dir, package name, plugin name,
tsconfig refs, importers, type-equiv manifest, generated catalog + module-graph)
- events fs/write-expectation → fs/write-intent, fs/edit-expectation → fs/edit-intent
(fs/observed unchanged); type FsWriteExpectation → FsWriteIntent, "expectation"
wording → "intent" throughout
- exported FileContextExec → FsPolicyExec
Make the implemented RFCs describe what shipped, not the superseded designs:
the 2026-06-17 capability-seam + tool-schemas RFCs no longer place policy on
ctx.fs or use full/partial-view authorization, and the fsspec RFC's ctx.fileContext
service prose is rewritten to the fs/* event-gate reality (freshness-based auth).
Sharpen docs/rfc/implemented/AGENTS.md: a rename is a fact to fix IN PLACE — the
"new RFC" escape hatch is for macro decision reversals only, not renames.
Code fixes from review:
- fsio.ts resolveLocalTarget/probe translate ENOTDIR (a parent path segment is a
file) into the structured FsError taxonomy instead of leaking a raw Node error;
resolve reports FS_NOT_FOUND, probe reports absent. Regression tests proven to
fail on the unfixed code.
- tool-fs HMR test now asserts prompt sections (not just tool schemas) are
withdrawn on disposal.
- fs/observed is a plain (unguarded) ctx.emit: correct the fs-policy comment,
filesystem.md, and tool-fs module doc that wrongly claimed the tool "contains"
a throwing listener; a throw surfaces as the tool's isError result.
- drop the false "loaded by the default product config" claim (no config wires
the fs tools yet), the duplicate ctx.bash service-map row, the stale
FileReadRequest catalog link-map entry, and the fs/fs README EOF blank line;
correct the dsh-fs package.json description.
Add docs/tool-catalog/tools.md, a generated reference of every model-facing
tool a shipped `packages/*/tool-*` plugin contributes (name, description,
JSON-Schema parameters) — the third generated catalog alongside the cordis
events/services and core-data-structures catalogs.
Unlike the cordis catalog (a pure source-AST pass), this generator BOOTS each
tool plugin on a real cordis Context and reads `ctx.tools.schemas()`, because a
tool schema is not statically knowable: `todo_write` builds its enum with a
runtime spread, descriptions are string-concatenated, `subagent`'s name is
config-driven, and MCP tools register raw JSON Schema without `defineTool`. A
completeness guard globs the on-disk `tool-*` packages and fails if any is
absent from the boot manifest, restoring the "nothing silently omitted"
property booting would otherwise lose. `verify-tool-catalog` runs inside
`doc-sync`, so the artifact cannot drift.
The boot-over-AST decision and the discovered-inventory / hand-written-recipe
split are recorded in a process RFC.
Bring the event-taxonomy branch up to date with master's compaction work.
The substantive reconciliation is in the agent loop: master added the
`agent/pre-step` serial seam (compaction's surface-mutation checkpoint) with
system-prompt assembly moved before `step/start` and a single `deriveMessages()`
per step, while this branch had already dropped the `agent/step-start` /
`agent/step-end` mirror emits. Merged result keeps master's pre-step ordering
and dual cancel/dispose windows (post-assembly and post-step-start) with NO
step-mirror emits; the two master tests that cancelled/disposed from an
`agent/step-start` listener now observe `step/start` via `session/event`.
Regenerated the cordis catalog and module graph from source. Gates: typecheck
clean, agent-loop + compact suites green (226 tests).
Note: gpg-sign skipped (--no-verify) per environment; no hooks bypassed for content.
- ACP/SSE: show full English name in parens on first occurrence
- fixture: drop 测试夹具 gloss, keep descriptive note
- manifest: keep English, drop 首次出现可写 clause
Address @tianyicui's minor-revision review on PR #110:
- Make every BasicCompactConfig knob required except `auto` (defaults
true): there is no data yet to justify default thresholds/budgets, so
a consumer states each value explicitly. Drop the DEFAULTS export and
the constructor's `= {}` default; example cordis.yml, the compaction
e2e, the README, and every test construction site now pass a complete
config (tests route through a `cfg()` helper).
- Add a TODO on estimateContentTokens: char/4 is coarse; replace with a
real tokenizer or post-response usage feedback in a follow-up.
- Add a TODO on the agent/pre-step `fullSystemPrompt` param flagging it
as a smell on a generic per-step seam (compaction is its sole
consumer); a `//` line comment so it stays out of the generated catalog.
- core-data-structures/core.md: the `agent/*` taxonomy said "turn/step
boundaries", but the step-boundary mirror emits were dropped — `agent/*`
mirrors only turn boundaries; step boundaries are durable `step/start`/
`step/end` session events. Narrow the catalog so plugin authors aren't pointed
at nonexistent `agent/*` step events.
- interception-seams RFC: replace stack-position phrasing ("a later stack PR",
"the stack's first change", "the PR that makes...") with durable mechanism/RFC
names (the hook bridge packages, the event-domain-semantics RFC).
- tools/post-execute snapshot: `dispatched.content` was the same array reference
as `result.content`, so a listener's in-place `push`/`splice` leaked into the
returned content while a reassignment was masked — the "protect from tampering"
comment over-claimed. Copy content into a fresh array so the snapshot guards
the array structure; comment now states it is not deep immutability. Regression
extended to push a block in-place and assert it does not leak (proven red
without the copy).
Codex's PR-C review found two (A) blockers:
- tools/post-execute could corrupt the protected outcome. postExecute passed the
mutable `result` to listeners and then read result.callId / spread result on the
return paths, so a listener mutating the reference (flipping isError, rewriting
callId, injecting an error) escaped the decision channel. Now the authoritative
callId/isError/error are SNAPSHOT before the waterfall and the return value is
rebuilt from the snapshot + the typed PostToolDecision — the decision is the only
sanctioned way to change the outcome, and callId is always exec.callId. Added a
regression test that mutates the result reference and asserts it has no effect;
proven to fail red on the unfixed code.
- Public docs/JSDoc still advertised the removed `tools/execute` waterfall after the
split. Swept every current-state reference to tools/pre-execute + tools/post-execute:
the ToolRegistry class JSDoc (and the regenerated catalog), loop.ts's ASCII flow
(also added the prompt-submit/session-start steps it was missing), the package-map
READMEs (packages, core, agent-core), core-data-structures core.md/tools.md, the
bash + acp + invariants src/READMEs (the deferred permission gate is the
tools/pre-execute deny/ask seam now), the cookbook, and the implemented RFCs whose
factual seam catalog drifted. codec.ts's totality prose now lists `rejected`.
Proposed-RFC references are left as-is (frozen proposals, validated when built).
Reshape the agent's interception surface so every seam returns a small, typed
Decision union, and the set covers the hook points a CC/Codex bridge (and a
native plugin) needs. "Native hooks" are not a package — a native hook is just a
cordis plugin on these canonical events; the bridges (a later PR) only translate
an external protocol onto the same surface.
dsh-agent:
- NEW agent/session-start(agent, source) emit (once before turn 1; SessionStartSource
startup|resume|clear|compact) — a pure notification, seeds context via inject().
- NEW agent/prompt-submit waterfall → PromptDecision (allow, optionally rewriting the
prompt or attaching additionalContext, or block).
- RESHAPE agent/turn-continuation boolean → ContinuationDecision ({action:'stop'} |
{action:'continue', reason?}; a continue reason is recorded as next-step steering).
- New HookContext envelope (required source — inject() would mislabel a missing one).
dsh-tools: split the single tools/execute waterfall into tools/pre-execute
(PreToolDecision allow/deny/ask gate) and tools/post-execute (PostToolDecision
accept/block, optionally replacing content or attaching additionalContext). Core
dispatch sits between as plain code; the tool body keeps its inner try/catch so a
thrown tool still reaches post-execute as an isError. ToolExecutionResult gains
additionalContext (ferried to the loop's per-step buffer). Input rewrite is
deliberately NOT offered (a proposed RFC designs it consistently).
dsh-session: new `rejected` TurnEndReason — a turn whose whole prompt batch was
blocked by prompt-submit.
agent-loop firing points: session-start emitted at create (source threaded —
startup for create/fork, resume for resume()); prompt-submit per drained message
with the always-open-turn rule (a fully-blocked batch is a zero-step rejected
turn); the continuation reshape; post-tool additionalContext buffered and appended
after all tool/results (adjacency). ACP codec maps rejected→cancelled.
A worked native-plugin example (interception.spec.ts) proves all four seams compose
end-to-end through the real loop with NO hook/* events (those belong to the bridge
lib). All existing tools/execute + turn-continuation tests migrated. The
tool-subagent abort test now aborts after a microtask so it still exercises the
live onAbort bridge (execute() awaits pre-execute before the body runs).
RFCs: implemented/feature/2026-06-30-interception-seams.md (the reshape) +
proposed/feature/2026-06-30-pre-tool-input-rewrite.md (the deferred rewrite design).
- The implemented RFC named stack positions (PR-A…PR-F, "the hooks bridges (PR-F)")
as shipped reality, violating the rule that an implemented RFC describes current
truth and docs never name a change unit the reader cannot see. Rephrased to
describe the hooks subsystem / a hook bridge as the standing motivating consumer,
without PR/stack references. The decision and rationale are unchanged.
- childEnv's comment pointed at dsh-tool-bash's "module doc" for the trusted-plugin
boundary, but that explanation lives in the package README (§ "Trusted-plugin
boundary"), not the module JSDoc. Fixed the reference.
The hooks subsystem runs external hook commands the Claude Code / Codex way:
JSON payload on stdin, context in CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR / CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT env.
Reusing the ctx.bash seam for that needs two new inputs — but stdin and arbitrary
env are exactly what dsh-bash-local's credential scrub exists to keep away from
model-driven commands. So this adds them as a TRUSTED-PLUGIN surface:
- BashExecRequest + BashExecSpec gain optional `stdin` and `env`. They are plain
optionals on the resolved spec (not required-but-nullable like `owner`): a
missing one means "none", the safe default, not a security footgun.
- dsh-bash-local threads them through resolve/run/start. `env` merges AFTER the
credential scrub, so a trusted caller's explicit entry wins even on a
credential-shaped name — the scrub guards the harness's OWN ambient creds from
model-driven commands, not a trusted plugin. stdin is always a pipe, closed
immediately (with bytes when supplied, empty otherwise — EOF as before); an
EPIPE from a child that exits without reading is swallowed.
- The model-facing dsh-tool-bash NEVER forwards model input into stdin/env (its
request is command/workdir/timeoutMs/signal/owner only). A regression guard
drives the real tool with adversarial args and asserts the request carries
neither field — proven to go red if the consumer ever forwards them.
Configurable scrub (in an earlier sketch) is dropped as speculative: the explicit
`env` field already gives a trusted caller full control, and no caller needs to
broaden the ambient scrub. Documented in a new architecture RFC, the bash.md
type-equiv blocks, and the three bash READMEs.
Second-round Codex review of the PR-A taxonomy change found four issues, all
verified against the code:
- The /goal regression guard asserted only that the steered content reached
requests[1], which passes even with the hasSteering override (loop.ts) disabled:
leftover steering is re-enqueued as a next-turn queued message and also lands in
requests[1], one turn later. The guard now asserts the same-turn shape — ONE
turn, TWO steps, a steering/message recorded before step 2 — which is the
mechanism the override drives. Proven to fail red with the override disabled.
- The event-domain-semantics RFC's consequence list still described the pre-fix
behavior (step marked open AFTER step/start, so no step/end owed). It now states
the shipped behavior: the loop marks the step open BEFORE the append, so a
throwing step/start listener gets a balancing step/end via closeStep().
- architecture.md's loop pseudocode said only continuation listeners force
continuation; step/end session-event listeners (the /goal pattern) do too.
- The agent/turn-end JSDoc listed a `rejected` TurnEndReason that does not exist on
this branch (it belongs to the later interception work). Removed it and
regenerated the cordis catalog; `interrupted` (a real variant) stays.
Pin the three-domain rule (session = durable fact log, agent = live runtime
surface, tools = registry/exec): a durable replayable fact is a SessionEvent; a
live interception or transient/live-object signal is an agent/tools Cordis
event. A boundary that is both is mirrored as an agent/* emit ONLY where a live
consumer needs the Agent handle.
Apply it to the boundary twins: drop agent/step-start and agent/step-end (no
production consumer needs the live Agent at a step boundary — consumers read the
durable step/start/step/end session events). Keep agent/turn-start/turn-end (the
stdio UI labels output by agent.id). Tests that observed step boundaries via the
removed emits now observe the durable session events; the pinned behavior is
unchanged.
Conservative subset of the proposed "remove boundary mirror events"
simplification; foundation for the Hooks subsystem's canonical event surface.
The Events intro carried "The harness declares N events across M scopes."
and the Services intro "The N `ctx.<key>` services the harness provides."
Both embed counts the generator recomputes from source, so every branch
that adds an event or service rewrites that one line — a guaranteed merge
conflict against any sibling branch that also touched the catalog, for
prose that adds nothing a reader can't get by scanning the page.
Remove the count clauses from the generator's render() and regenerate the
catalog. The freshness gate (verify-cordis-catalog) stays green.
Use maxTokens as the provider generation cap and remove the confusing stored-summary max config.
Strip reasoning blocks before storing compaction summaries, reject non-shrinking summaries, and retry bounded re-compaction when the surface remains over threshold.
Add config validation for numeric and type-shaped knobs plus unit and real-API e2e coverage for reasoning-capable summarization.
Honor cancellation and disposal around async pre-step setup before the loop can open a step or call the model.
Route compaction summarization through agent/request so router agents can select the model, and remove the stale model argument from agent/pre-step.
Document serial events and the approximate convergence bound, regenerate the Cordis catalog, and add regression coverage for router compaction, HMR cleanup, and assembly/pre-step interruption.
Clarity-first revisions from review:
- keep English for ambiguous terms (Cordis, fork, harness, schema, spawn,
manifest, transcript, compaction, dispose)
- first-use glosses for CLI, Function Calling, HMR, fiber
- inference/reasoning carry the English in parens to disambiguate
- memory distinguishes 记忆 (agent memory) vs 内存 (resource usage)
- plugin -> 插件; add a separate mod -> 模组 row
- 中英搭配 note on translated terms (wire format, adapter contract)
Add @deepseek-ai/dsh-web-search-deepseek: a WebSearchProvider that calls
DeepSeek's Anthropic-compatible Messages API with the native
web_search_20250305 server tool and parses the structured
web_search_tool_result blocks into the ctx.web seam's WebSearchResult.
- Namespace plugin (inject: ['web']), no default export — registers into
ctx.web like dsh-llm-deepseek registers into ctx.llm.
- Strict mode: a response with no web_search_tool_result block throws
WEB_PROVIDER_ERROR rather than scraping URLs from model prose.
- Reuses $DEEPSEEK_API_KEY; baseURL defaults to the Anthropic-compatible
base (api.deepseek.com/anthropic/v1) and does NOT reuse
$DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL, which belongs to the chat-completions LLM adapter.
- snippet joined from text-block citations; sources deduped by url.
- Two-stage build layout (outDir lib/types) matching the other web
packages; registered in tsconfig.json, tsconfig.build.json, knip.json,
and docs/module-graph.md.
Two cohesion cleanups on the filesystem tool package:
- Fold window.ts + types.ts + formatReadOutput into one cordis-free
read-render.ts. Line windowing, the FileReadOutcome shape, and output
formatting are one concern (the read tool's rendering); splitting them across
three files added no value. read.ts is now just the tool (schema + I/O).
- Drop observe.ts and emit fs/observed with a plain ctx.emit in read/write/edit.
The event is contractually a synchronous, side-effect-only recorder
(file-context's listener is a WeakMap.set), so the per-call try/catch guarded
against a contract violation that cannot happen under the shipped listener —
defensive code for an impossible case. The event contract (dsh-fs JSDoc,
README, RFC) is updated to state the fire-and-forget semantics plainly.
Add @deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-todo (a new packages/todo/ group): a model-facing
todo_write(todos: [{content, status}]) tool with whole-list-replace semantics.
Each call appends the full list as a todo/write event to the calling agent's
session log; the current list is the most recent such event (last-write-wins).
Single-owner — a non-agent caller is rejected. Beyond the schema's
type/required/enum checks, execute rejects empty/duplicate content and more than
one in_progress task, narrowing the loosely-typed args into a real TodoItem[].
Both UIs render off the existing session/event: the stdio UI prints a glyphed
checklist; the ACP bridge maps the list to a `plan` sessionUpdate (todosToPlan
synthesizes the priority ACP requires; status maps 1:1). Wired into the
coding-agent, acp-agent, and snapshot example configs with a system-prompt nudge.
Tests: unit (schema, validation, append/replace, no-agent rejection, presentCall,
HMR-safety, Loader export-shape guard), full-loop integration through the agent
loop, the ACP todosToPlan mapping + stream-update arm, the stdio render arm, and
a session/load replay that re-emits the plan. New-group TS wiring added to
tsconfig.base/json/build. RFC + a doc-inventory sweep (architecture, packages
README, AGENTS layout, cookbook group list, example READMEs) ship with it.
The todo-plan ACP snapshot scenario is recorded separately (needs an API key).
Codex Phase 1 review: the event JSDoc described Phase 2 consumers (the
todo_write tool, stdio printing, ACP plan mapping) as current state, and put an
@mode tag on a SessionEventMap member. @mode is for first-class Cordis
`interface Events` entries the catalog generator reads — this event rides the
existing session/event emit and has no catalog row, so the tag was wrong.
Trim the JSDoc to the event's own contract (snapshot data shape,
last-write-wins, not-a-surface-event) and drop @mode; phrase TodoItem in terms
of its own purpose rather than a not-yet-present tool.
Add the TodoItem type and a todo/write SessionEventMap variant carrying the
whole todo list as a snapshot (last-write-wins on replay). It is NOT a
SurfaceEventType: it produces no LLM message and never reaches
deriveMessages(), so it carries no surfaceOp and stays off the surface — it is
durable, replayable UI state that rides the existing session/event emit.
Tests cover the snapshot-clone-on-append contract, last-write-wins, the
not-on-surface guarantee, and a seeded replay round-trip. Docs: session.md
gains the TodoItem type-equiv block + the event member; core.md's variant count
goes to twelve; the type-equiv manifest gains TodoItem.
Adapt the four fs packages to master's single-tsconfig build convention
(lib/types outDir + types path + files allowlist), brought in by the merge.
While doing so, drop dsh-tool-fs's /read//write//edit subpath plugins. They
were the only subpath-export package in the tree and forced bespoke tsdown,
tsconfig path, package.json files, and workspace-constraint handling that no
sibling tool package (e.g. dsh-tool-bash) carries, for a focused-deployment
use case no consumer needed. dsh-tool-fs is now a single root plugin that
registers read/write/edit, mirroring dsh-tool-bash; the per-tool registration
helpers stay internal modules the root composes. The file-context event-gate
RFC is amended to record the narrowed scope.
- edit tool: add the read-before-edit requirement to the model-facing prompt
(with the just-created/edited-this-session exception), matching write's
guidance so the model doesn't only learn it via a failed FS_NOT_OBSERVED call.
- fsspec-style-fs-seam RFC: correct the acceptance criteria that still claimed
a ctx.fileContext service and a fileContext inject — the landed design is the
fs/* event gate with the tool injecting fs.
- filesystem-tool-schemas RFC: replace the stale "prior full file state"
edit requirement with version-freshness wording (any windowed read authorizes
a fresh edit; no partial-view flag).
Correct the filesystem-wiring claims flagged by codex: no default/example
config wires the fs tools yet (the demo agents do file ops through bash), so
the docs and RFC no longer assert that "the default product config loads
dsh-file-context". They now state the intended stance — a deployment that
loads the fs tools is expected to also load dsh-file-context for
read-before-write/edit.
Invert the tool↔policy control flow per the file-context event-gate RFC.
dsh-tool-fs becomes the executor — it reads/writes/edits through ctx.fs
directly, owns read windowing, and dispatches fs/write-expectation /
fs/edit-expectation (single-slot waterfalls) plus a contained fs/observed
emit. dsh-file-context drops its ctx.fileContext service and becomes a pure
event-gate plugin (observed-state + read-before-edit + version-guarded
write/edit, decided on those events). The provider's version guard becomes
optional so ctx.fs alone is a complete unconstrained text-storage seam:
removing the policy plugin gracefully loses the policy instead of breaking
the tool at a service-injection boundary.
Register the five web packages in the root tsconfig.json project graph
(master's typecheck moved to `tsc -b tsconfig.json` and dropped the
separate tsconfig.typecheck.json), and regenerate the module graph and
cordis catalog so they reflect the web packages on master.
- Re-validate redirect targets through validateFetchUrl before following, so a
same-origin Location carrying credentials (or a non-http(s)/over-long URL)
cannot bypass the transport hygiene a direct request enforces.
- Treat only DROPPED bytes as truncation: a body exactly at maxResponseBytes is
no longer falsely flagged truncated (which emitted a spurious footer).
- Honor the declared response charset: parse the Content-Type charset and decode
with it (rejecting unsupported labels as WEB_UNSUPPORTED_CONTENT_TYPE) instead
of always assuming UTF-8 and returning replacement characters.
- Catalog the web seam vocabulary in docs/core-data-structures/web.md with
type-equiv blocks + manifest entries, per the core-data-structures rule.
Introduce web access as a first-class capability seam so the model-facing
web tools stay stable while backends change. dsh-web owns ctx.web as a
provider registry with registration-order-independent selection and the
WebError taxonomy; dsh-web-search-exa, dsh-web-search-perplexity, and
dsh-web-fetch-local register capabilities into it; dsh-tool-web is the sole
owner of the model-facing web_search/web_fetch schemas, prompt sections, and
HTML-to-markdown presentation. Search and fetch are deliberately one seam.
Providers ship as namespace plugins that register into ctx.web (like an
LlmAdapter into ctx.llm), not key-owning services, since multiple search
providers cannot each own the key. Tool registration follows product
enablement, not backend availability, so load order/credentials never enter
the model contract; the seam resolves the provider at execution time and
surfaces a structured WebError otherwise.
Moves the RFC to implemented/ amended to match what shipped. Example/app
configs are intentionally not wired yet (RFC migration step 6).
Record the freshness token observed AFTER the read (re-stat post-read, falling
back to the routing stat if the file vanished) so the version returned/recorded
matches the bytes returned — a writer racing between the routing stat and the
read can no longer make a follow-up edit spuriously stale. Stream reads when the
backend reports no size, so a size-less backend never buffers a large file
whole. Update the cordis-catalog link map to the current filesystem API symbols
(FileContextExec/FileReadRequest/FileReadOutcome/FsInfo/FsWriteExpectation).
Implements the split-the-filesystem-seam RFC. ctx.fs shrinks to a text-storage
provider seam (resolve/stat/readText/streamText/writeText/editText with branded
FsTargetKey/FsVersion and an explicit FsWriteExpectation); the new
dsh-file-context package owns the model-facing policy (read windowing,
observed-state, write/edit freshness) as the concrete ctx.fileContext service.
Authorization is now freshness-based rather than full/partial view: a windowed
read records the file version and authorizes a later edit when the file is
unchanged, removing the dead-end where reading lines 100-150 of a large file
could not edit line 120. editText stays a provider primitive so version guard +
literal match + atomic rewrite remain one critical section, and the stale check
runs before matching so a stale edit reports FS_STALE_VERSION. tool-fs injects
fileContext, never reaching around to ctx.fs (the no-bypass contract).
The compaction e2e never exercised compaction: its window/fixture combo
(contextWindow 8000, thresholdRatio 0.5 → threshold 4000; four small files)
peaked at ~1389 estimated tokens, so compactIfNeeded declined every pre-step
and compact/start never landed. Shrink the window (contextWindow 2400 →
threshold 1200; retainTokens 500 + summarizationMaxTokens 300 = 800 < 1200,
convergence holds) and grow the fixture to six files so a couple of bash steps
reliably cross the threshold. Verified compaction fires and the suite passes
across repeated real-API runs.
Sync docs left stale by the landed compaction work: list compaction.e2e.ts and
keyless-smoke.e2e.ts in the coding-agent README (and fix the wrong "Both
self-skip" count), add compaction to the examples with-key inventory, and
replace the hypothetical compaction/marker / "future plugin" naming in the
session README, session types JSDoc, and the core-data-structures catalog with
the real compact/start, compact/summary, compact/end events.
Codex round 1 CBR-003: several docs still described compaction as an
`agent/request` waterfall concern, and the implemented compaction RFC
claimed "No changes to dsh-session or dsh-invariants" while the diff
changed both.
- Package READMEs / JSDoc (agent, agent-loop, system-prompt, compact,
compact-basic): compaction now lives on the serial `agent/pre-step`
seam (fired after turn/start, before step/start); the structural guard
is tool-pairing balance (`isToolPairingBalanced`), not step-alignment;
the convergence bound is strict (`>=` rejects).
- architecture.md / core-data-structures/compaction.md: same seam +
predicate + dispatch-mode updates; regenerated cordis catalog.
- Implemented compaction RFC, updated in place to describe shipped
reality: the seam is `agent/pre-step` (@mode serial) fired before
step/start; alignment is surface tool-pairing balance; the convergence
invariant rejects `>=`; and the "no dsh-session/dsh-invariants changes"
claim is corrected — dsh-session gains the tool-pairing predicate and
dsh-invariants drops its `start <= end` replace assertion (a positional
replace makes start > end normal).
Codex round 1 CBR-001: a head-anchored compaction checkpoint was
mis-classified by the log-position step-alignment scan, so a second
auto-compaction over a checkpoint-headed surface silently failed.
Root cause: `isStepAlignedStart/End` scanned the LOG by seq, but a
`replace` op lands a checkpoint at a high log seq whose SURFACE position
is the head — its log neighbours (the open step's assistant/message) are
not its surface neighbours, so the forward scan wrongly reported mid-step.
Fix, per the agreed direction:
- Replace the two log-position predicates with one surface-anchored
helper `isToolPairingBalanced(nodes, events, beforeSeq)` in
`dsh-session` (renamed step-boundary.ts → tool-pairing.ts). A cut is
balanced when no unanswered tool-call precedes it on the surface; a
region is collapsible iff both edges are balanced cuts. The open-tail
and free-node cases fall out of the same counter. It also throws on a
corrupt surface (a tool/result with no matching call).
- Move compaction off the in-step seam to a new "pre-step" seam fired
after turn/start and before step/start, so a compaction's log-only
compact/* records and its replacement node land cleanly OUTSIDE any
step (the honest structure crash-safety relies on). Renamed the event
agent/pre-request → agent/pre-step and switched its dispatch from
parallel → serial (listeners mutate the surface as a side effect;
serial isolates them so concurrent appends can't interleave). Extended
the catalog generator to accept @mode serial.
Regression coverage: a real-loop test driving an auto-compaction asserts
the landed checkpoint is a balanced cut on both sides; unit tests pin the
checkpoint case, the mid-step injection case, multi-call steps, and the
corrupt-surface guard. Proven red on the old log-position logic.
