Squash of the linearized fix/tui-color-scheme-v2 merge and the follow-up
catalog regeneration. Renders error cause chains at every diagnostic seam
(origin/fetch-failed-diagnostics) and adds color scheme detection with a
light-terminal palette.
Delete packages/ui/stdio and examples/repl-agent; rename stdio-demo to
@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui-demo (TUI-only, refuses pipes before Loader boot).
tui-agent owns the coding composition inline; echo-agent and the CI demo
smoke move to the one-shot cli-demo bin, which gains -p/--prompt. The
UI-independent with-key e2es move verbatim to tui-agent. SDK wizard's
'stdio' interface becomes 'tui'. PTY testing stays confined to TUI
surfaces; all other subprocess tests ride pipes.

Master landed the tool-subagent depth budget while this branch was in
flight: the numeric default maxDepth now fails the mount against the
ACP provider's depthLimit: false, so the composition fixture must state
maxDepth: 'provider-managed' — the documented opt-out for a provider
whose recursion budget lives in the child harness. The fixture also
moves off the retired stdio-demo REPL onto the current app-boot driver
pattern (runLoaderSmoke + one-shot cli), and the split isDirectory
statements gain the file-not-a-directory case the single-expression
form used to cover implicitly.
The inheritance branch ran only under hand-mounted plugin tests, and
the with-key e2e always configures an explicit cwd. Add a test-only
cordis.yml (scripted delegating model + the scripted mock ACP child)
booting the stdio app through the real Loader with cwd omitted: the
child proves it ran in — and was announced — the parent session's
workspace, keylessly.
SubagentStartRequest.parent, its core-data type-equiv mirror, and the
ACP backend Agent Note still said the out-of-process backend ignores
request.parent — no longer true: with cwd unconfigured it reads exactly
the session header's cwd, and a parent session without one now rejects
at start. State the one-field read at each owning contract, record the
workspace-resolution decision in the Agent Note, and align the README's
accessibility wording with the search-permission guard.
statSync().isDirectory() is true for a mode-600 directory, but a
subprocess cwd needs X_OK — spawn would fail EACCES, deferring a
self-contained configuration error past the load/start boundary the
resolution owns. Probe accessSync(X_OK) alongside the type check so
"not an accessible directory" is literally what the guard verifies.
