The browse interaction also presents a dialog (the in-app modal), so 'dialog'
failed to discriminate the two capability kinds; 'native' names where the
chooser runs. Package directory-picker-dialog -> directory-picker-native, kind
'dialog' -> 'native', with every seam/gateway/client/doc reference updated and
the seam Agent Note's naming rationale rewritten to match.
The web GUI's folder picking was hardwired to one interaction: a native
OS chooser compiled into the gateway, unusable for remote deployments
and swappable only by editing apiproxy source.
Directory picking becomes a three-package capability seam in
packages/host: ctx.directoryPicker returns a discriminated capability —
dialog (the extracted native chooser; host-display only) or browse
(new: one-level listing + child creation over Node stdlib, hidden flags
host-stamped, symlinks followed, ancestry crumbs; remote-capable). The
gateway injects the seam, advertises the kind via
host.describe.directoryPicker, serves host.listDirectory /
host.createDirectory under browse, and answers
directory-picker-unavailable across kinds. cordis.yml is the swap
point; apps/cli keeps dialog mounted, so behavior is unchanged until
the in-app browser PR flips the default. The connection fixture serves
a deterministic browse tree; WorkspacesService gains the browse calls
the browser UI will drive. Decision record:

CommandService.execute now returns a CommandExecution — the normalized
result plus the commandId minted for its command/run/command/done records —
and the wire admission value carries commandId exactly when matched, so the
issuing client can correlate its RPC acknowledgment with the flow node the
lifecycle events produce. apiproxy api/schema/handler, the connection
fixture, and the TUI/plan/goal consumers follow the new shape.
The wire response now carries only the matched bit — CommandExecuteResult
is deleted from the api, schema, and client mirrors (pre-release, no shim);
outcomes ride the durably logged command/run/command/done pair broadcast on
the mux stream and render as flow nodes. ui-command's runDetached→noticeFor
outcome routing is retired: admitted commands surface nothing through the
composer, while admission misses (matched:false, syntax feedback) and
transport failures keep their immediate notice. The connection fixture
mirrors the host: an admitted command appends the lifecycle pair to the
session log instead of returning result text.
- host trio kept on the merged api-proxy: session.models (provider-grouped
advisory directory), session.selectModel (validated provider, advisory
model), installAgentLlmTarget threaded through create/resume/ensureSession;
the gateway declares the llm inject it reads
- history no longer piggybacks modelTarget: the current target travels on
session.models alone (the /model popup is the sole consumer)
- new @deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-model plugin: /model popupSelect over the
wire — options load the directory (group label in the detail column,
provider-local failures listed inline), onSelect routes selectModel;
failures ride the popup shell's error/retry surface
- ModelSelector package, conversation.composer.control slot, and the
Session-side modelSelection state machine are removed: model selection
belongs to the /model popup; the named conversation.input.model seat
stays empty until a control-seat entry is designed for it
The session/queued frame no longer carries steering — AgentMessage no longer
has the field. The client derives it from the same ordered turn boundaries the
host saw (a frame arriving while a turn is open joined the steering FIFO).
Sidebar session list grows the figma 239-10458 feature set and the
workspace/session browsing region moves wholesale into ui-workspace:
- Group-by menu (WorkSpace / In one list): flat mode lists every session
top-level, strictly newest-first; the choice persists across reloads.
- Session rows get a 500ms hover detail card (title / relative time /
status line) and a ... menu (Rename / Fork session / Delete session,
visual-only for now); workspace headers get ... with Rename (wired) and
Delete workspace (visual-only).
- workspace.rename RPC: trims, rejects duplicate titles on the create
chain (workspace-name-conflict), no-op on same title; modal dialog with
client-side duplicate pre-check.
- workspace.insertSessionBefore RPC (DOM-insertBefore semantics, omitted
anchor appends): HTML5 drag reorder of root sessions inside a workspace
group; order truth stays host-side, the view refreshes from the
response/changed frame.
- Activity pinning removed: the session/event touchSession chain is gone;
workspace accounts are manually owned (new sessions prepend, explicit
reordering only). Contracts and tests updated, api catalog regenerated.
- ui-sidebar reduced to the column shell (brand, fold state machine, New
Session, Settings) exposing one sidebar.workspaces hole with a two-fact
owner share {wide, expandSidebar}; ui-workspace owns the whole region
(header, search, grouped/flat lists, dialogs, drag) plus the picker via
a shared WorkspaceCreateFlow. The old sidebar.workspace picker slot and
its deferral indirection are gone.
- ui-primitives: Menu gains label entries, danger rows, and
closeOnPointerLeave; new HoverCard (portaled, open-delay, disabled
guard). Hover card and row menu never coexist.
Boots a test-only cordis.yml through the real Loader and asserts the route
service's behavior surface: exact/longest-prefix matching, tapIndex
transform order and unsubscription, traversal 403, non-GET 405, SPA-200
fallback, malformed-request 400 without process exit, duplicate-pattern
throw, dispose closing held connections with register/disposer symmetry,
and a listen-failure fail-loud case (EADDRINUSE -> FAILED fiber + late
rejection). Replaces the retired factory-era specs.
createApiProxy moves from dsh-host-runtime into dsh-host-apiproxy (the
dependency direction already pointed this way); the package now
default-exports ApiProxyService (config {provider, model}, provides
ctx.apiProxy) while staying transport-agnostic — it registers no routes.
Runtime keeps bootHost/startHost for the headless path with its import
re-anchored, and drops the mountWebPlugins roster mounting helper.
