- Strict steer additionally requires an OPEN STEP: between steps the
loop may be awaiting its continuation/turn-stop checkpoints, where
pending steering was already folded and a terminal stop discards a
later arrival. A message accepted during an open step is drained and
recorded at that step's settlement before any terminal decision, so
the acknowledged-then-discarded window is closed. New keyless test
holds agent/turn-stop open and pins the rejection.
- tool-subagent-control README: distinguish synchronous not-delivered
errors from started-Task failures (unknown/foreign/descriptor-less
ids settle the started Task as failed), and drop the claim that the
completion notice carries the child's response.
- Strict steer now rejects the two windows where an acknowledged
message would be silently dropped: the closed-turn durability-flush
window (status still running, loop strands drained steering) and a
committed structured capture (terminal turn-stop discards late
steering). Seam JSDoc, catalog doc, README, and the Agent Note
bilingual pair state the tightened contract; new keyless tests pin
both rejections.
- Continuable background delegation now fails loud when the advertised
send_message tool is not registered, instead of starting a durable
child the model cannot continue. The acp-agent example already loads
the control tool; the tool-catalog boot recipe is unaffected because
capability wording is harvested at mount.
Implement the continuable background subagents RFC: a durable child
session with a series of Task-backed activations, each disposing its
run before the Task settles.
- dsh-subagent: rename SubagentRun.sendMessage to strict steer, drop
run-level resume, add SubagentProvider.resume dispatch via
SubagentService.resume, the continuation start field, and the
versioned model-hidden subagent/descriptor session event.
- dsh-subagent-inprocess/-spawn/-fork: publish the control-allocated
child id, append the descriptor inside the initial turn, implement
cold resume from the child's own transcript under the live parent
scope, and strict running-only steer.
- dsh-subagent-control (new): SubagentControlService owning stable
child ids, descriptor snapshot/fold/authorization, Task-backed
activation with settle-then-dispose ordering, the process-local
active-run association, and steer-or-resume sendMessage routing.
- dsh-tool-subagent: background route branches on the provider's
resume capability (continuable via the control service; one-shot
task for ACP), returning both child and task ids.
- dsh-tool-subagent-control (new): the globally named send_message
tool rendering steered/started routes.
Keyless coverage spans Task ownership and disposal ordering, running
delivery, cold follow-up, descriptor rejection and rollback, known-id
reconstruction, kill during lookup, admission races, and a new
subagent-continuable ACP snapshot scenario.
The shipped-roster change made @deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-session-query a
default row of the shared base.cordis.yml, so the TUI and Web surfaces
put the five session-search tools in front of the model. That
contradicts the recorded opt-in stance for the model-facing session
query consumer; the ACP example remains the mounted reference.
Remove the row from the shared base, the now-dangling disabled patch in
the opt-in core-web profile, and the workspace dependency. The
ctx.sessionQuery index stays: the TUI's /resume and the Web content
search consume it directly. Both shipped-composition tests now pin the
20-tool catalog.
ds-review-bot round 1 on the repository-plugin runtime:
- a manifest-declared skill root absent or non-directory in the installed
package now fails the plugin load (skill-local treats a missing root as
legitimately empty, which silently mounted a skill-less plugin)
- includeDefaultRoots: false no longer inherits $DSH_BUNDLED_SKILL_DIR, so
isolated repository providers see only their explicit roots
- prepared wrapper baseUrl schema requires the file: scheme, failing hostile
URLs at the declared validation boundary
- preparedPath reuses format.ts's isOutside; SERVER_NAME_PATTERN is exported
and pinned equal to dsh-mcp-client's, with the restatement justified (the
prepare bin keeps a zod-only module graph); the unexplained `as never`
cast now carries its schemastery rationale
- the import-free wrapper assertion also rejects dynamic import(
- the headless fixture wrapper is regenerated by the real prepareDshPlugin
and a drift test pins fixture == generator output
- prepareDshPlugin JSDoc states the non-atomic publish repair contract
The comments and Agent Note blamed macOS resolving /var through
private/var. That is only how the mismatch surfaced in temp fixtures, since
mktemp hands back a /var path there.
The real condition is broader: Git always reports resolved paths, so
comparing one against an unresolved path disagrees whenever a symlink sits
anywhere above the checkout. A symlinked home directory alone triggers it —
reproduced with no /var involved — which is common wherever homes live
behind a symlink or on a network mount.
Naming the cause correctly keeps a reader from dismissing resolve_dir as
macOS-only defensiveness.
Review flagged the resolve_dir comment: it claimed `x=$(cmd) || fallback`
never fires "because the assignment succeeds even when the substitution
fails." That is wrong — command substitution propagates exit status and the
fallback does fire, confirmed in sh, bash, dash, and zsh.
Reproducing the original code shows the fallback also worked, so the second
"recurrence" the Agent Note described never existed. Both real defects were
the same one: comparing a resolved path against an unresolved one. The note
now says that instead of inventing a mechanism.
resolve_dir keeps its `|| printf` because it makes every caller a plain
assignment, so no site can compare against an empty path by forgetting its
own fallback — the reason is now stated accurately.
Also from review: REPO_COMMON is now resolved on both branches, matching
REPO_ROOT, and _repo_root notes why it is already physical without its own
resolve_dir call.
Nothing read it. The launcher, dsh-upgrade, and the installer's own re-run
all ignored the file, and the diagnostic it was meant to feed was never
built, so it was write-only state.
Git already owns the fact it recorded: a staging worktree's .git file names
the repository path, and `git worktree list` in that clone enumerates every
worktree depending on it. An installer-written copy only adds state that can
go stale while nothing validates it.
The containment caveat it documented is real and stays in the script header
and the Agent Note, now pointing at git's own records.
The fork button on a stopped assistant message was inert. Frozen
interrupted nodes carry a flow-ordering seq of turnEnd.seq - 0.9, and
session.fork takes a non-negative integer on the wire, so every such
request was rejected as invalid-params before reaching the host — where
an aborted turn's logged turn/end has always made it forkable.
SessionsService.fork floors atSeq at the wire boundary. Flooring stays
inside the anchor's own turn (every turn opens with turn/start), so the
host's first-turn/end-at-or-after cut still closes on that turn.
Retaining link-in-place behind a prompt and DSH_ADOPT kept the divergent
install shape that this change exists to remove, and cost a flag, a prompt,
a dirty-tree warning, a no-commit fallback, and a second linking path.
In-repo mode now adopts unconditionally. A dirty tree adopts silently:
`worktree add` from HEAD cannot carry uncommitted work, so a prompt only
adds a decision the user cannot act on differently.
The original reason for link-in-place — keeping the script testable against
local source — survives adoption, since the staging worktree branches from
the checkout's HEAD and runs the same code. DSH_SOURCE remains the escape
hatch for installing a separate tree.
Net 47 fewer lines in the installer.
