Both provider READMEs state what actually holds: credentials-local now
documents the physical-line editor, the read-modify-write under the
writer lock, and a Security boundary section saying plainly that the file
mode stops other OS users and not the model. sandbox-policy documents
readDenyPaths and its per-backend enforcement. The llm READMEs carry the
registration handle, pi-ai's credential-miss semantics, and DeepSeek's
same-generation snapshot; app-boot and the CLI README stop describing
$DSH_HOME/.env as an environment layer.
A new Agent Note records the round (and the prior seam note cross-links
it); the sandbox and core catalog pages gain readDenyPaths and
AdapterRegistrationHandle with their manifest entries. The headless
missing-credential snapshot re-records for the reworded guidance, pi-ai
gains the Loader-composition guard its twin already had, and the
deliberate provider symmetry is marked for the clone detector.
New credentials data-structure page (type-equiv manifested), group README,
rewritten llm-deepseek/llm-pi-ai READMEs (dynamic configuration, dict
profiles, credential chain), capability-seams/service-role registration,
Agent Note (bilingual), demo compositions mounting settings-local +
credentials-local with no inline key plumbing, installSettingsSection
consumer helper on the settings seam (deduplicating both adapters' wiring),
jscpd symmetry markers for the provider twins, runtime-closure additions for
python/sdk-runtime, and doc-budget ceilings AGENTS.md 1750→1755 /
packages/README.md 850→865 for the structural one-line group rows.
Conflicts were the parallel-edit set: packages/README group table (kept
master's session-title wording, re-added the settings row condensed),
doc-budgets AGENTS.md ceiling (took master's 1750), and regenerated
graph/catalog docs plus re-recorded translation pairs. packages/README.md
ceiling 845 -> 850: the table legitimately gained one row for the new
settings group and the row is already minimal.
Confirmed and fixed, each with a regression test that failed first:
- Concurrent update() lost patches (merge over one stale snapshot):
per-namespace serialized write queues; a failed write cannot poison
the queue for later writers.
- Fixed-name .tmp write followed planted symlinks and kept stale modes:
random-suffix sibling, exclusive-create (wx), 0600, cleanup on
failure, then rename.
- A throwing settings/updated listener escaped commit and permanently
wedged the provider reload chain (rejected refreshTask): commit now
contains listener failures (INVARIANT-coded errors still propagate),
async watcher rejections are adopted and contained
(watch callbacks are officially void | Promise<void>), and the
provider chains refreshes on a settled tail with an error log.
- No way to remove a user override: scope/service replace(section)
sets the user section wholesale; replace({}) re-inherits base and
schema defaults.
- The three-primitive provider contract did not hold (base never
called load()): the base Service.init loads and publishes once;
settings-local delegates via yield* super[Service.init]().
- Dispose did not quiesce: teardown flags closed, closes the watcher,
then awaits queued/in-flight reloads; closed is re-checked across
await points.
- Invariant now checks the authoritative relation with the seam's own
deepEqualJson: emitted next must equal settings.get(ns), and
next/prev must differ structurally (cosmokit dependency dropped).
- New docs/core-data-structures/settings.{md,zh.md} with type-equiv
blocks + manifest entries; catalog types moved from exemptions to
LINK_MAP; website page registered.
Both packages stay at per-file 100% coverage.
Two-package capability family mirroring session-persistence/:
- dsh-settings: abstract Settings service — namespace registry with
caller-fiber effect registrations, layered resolution (schema defaults
< composition base < user document), schemastery validation,
per-namespace deep-equal commit detection, and the settings/updated
event. Boot/registration validation fails loud; provider publishes
keep last-good per namespace.
- dsh-settings-local: settings.yaml/.json provider — resolveSpec
defaulting to $DSH_HOME/settings.yaml, chokidar hot reload,
content-equality self-write suppression, atomic 0600 tmp+rename
writes, comment-preserving YAML namespace patching.
Consumers register inside ctx.inject(['settings'], …), so every
composition works unchanged without a mounted provider. Real Loader +
Include composition test proves cordis.yml boot and external-edit hot
propagation; HMR disposal test proves registry cleanup. Both packages
hold per-file 100% coverage.
Doc budgets rise 1705→1710 (AGENTS.md) and 835→845 (packages/README.md):
one structural line per file for the new package group.

Three ui-conversation spec conflicts resolve to master's SlotTestRuntime
rewrites. Adaptation to the new outward session face: ISession gains the
command verb (the composer chip and the /permission picker submit through
it), FixtureSession grows the matching fail-loud stub plus the
waitingApproval summary default, and the picker reads the projection
through projections.faceOf (the ProjectionsFace shape) instead of the
retired store getter.
gen-cordis-catalog/api, config/persistence catalogs, module graph, and doc
graphs pick up the ui-permission package, the permissions projection key,
and the /permission command; KnobState and PermissionSelect join the
type-link exemptions (owned by the permission package's own docs), and
ui-permission joins the sentence Model Experience allowlist (indirect via
the host command). The ui-conversation and dsh-permission READMEs gain
their zh halves for the approval/chip and projection/command paragraphs;
all three touched pairs re-record.
gen-cordis-catalog/api, config and persistence catalogs, and doc graphs
regenerated over the new sessionProjectionCache service and the registry's
checkpoint faces. Classifications: ProjectionCheckpoint joins the type-link
exemptions (owned by the projection package source), Partial joins the
foundation names, the cache service gets its capability-seam role row, and
the package takes the one-sentence Model Experience contract (host-side
read-model accelerator, no model surface).
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:
.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-28-directory-picker-capability-seam.md
gen-cordis-catalog type-link rows for the ProjectionDefinition surface and
CommandExecution; a sessionProjections service-role row for gen-doc-graphs;
regenerated module graph, persistence/config/cordis catalogs and api-catalog;
packages/README rows condensed back under the word ceiling; the RFC's sketch
fences marked ignore-check on both language sides (pairing re-recorded).
Resolutions: regenerate the conflicted generated docs (cordis services
catalog, event-producer-consumer, module-graph); take master's
packages/README pair and re-insert the telemetry row on both sides;
re-record the README and session-doc translation pairs.
Resolutions: regenerate docs/capability-seams.md (the only conflict);
master widened the bilingual pairing scope to package READMEs, so this
merge adds the Chinese counterparts and i18n records for the three
telemetry READMEs and patches packages/README.zh.md with the telemetry
group row.
