A hand-damaged preset was silent until the worst moment. An unparsable
composition listed as an ordinary selectable row and failed only at the
next session start — set as default, every new session failed. A
directory whose composition file was deleted vanished from the roster
while still occupying its id: copy answered "delete the existing preset
first" while remove answered "not found", a dead end.
Discovery now owns health: every id-shaped directory is a roster slot,
broken when its composition is missing or unloadable, checked with the
loader's own entryListSchema dialect (!!js included) so health never
rejects what the loader accepts. `broken` rides AgentPreset, the
agentPreset.list entry, and the UI row; mount/recompose/standingKeyFor
refuse broken up front with the discovery-reported reason, while
resolve/read/remove still answer. The section renders marked red cards —
unselectable, uncopyable, deletable, location kept on custom rows — and
both pickers drop broken rows entirely.
The cordis preset's persona now forbids editing the shipped install
(corrupting cordis would disable the mode itself) and points authoring
at $DSH_HOME/.agent-presets; its skill teaches preset.yml metadata, the
copy-first workflow, the one-escalation sandbox reality, and honest
verification. Exercised live: asked to edit the shipped composition the
composed agent refuses citing both rules; asked for real presets (simple
and complex) it lands them under the user root with one approved
escalation each and self-checks with the loader dialect.
Copying an existing preset — or drafting one in Creator mode — replaces
the copy-minimal skeleton hint: the creator entry exists now, so the intro
names the two real paths instead of steering everyone at one source.
The settings section gains the conversational authoring entry beside
copying: a dashed add-card (the Models page's affordance) that stages the
self-referential cordis preset and starts a new session on it, closing the
settings panel through the shell's new section owner-prop `close` — the
one shell affordance a section receives, for flows that leave settings.
The seat learns the difference between picking and staging: `select()`'s
immediate apply meets the still-current running session and drops the
stage as unservable, so the entry uses `stage()` and leaves the apply to
the list-change applier that fires when the started session becomes
current. `load()` stops regressing the display when its reply lands after
an applied stage was consumed — staged pick first, then the composition
the current session already carries, then the deployment default.
The authoring lane connects a workspace and drives the gesture to a
composed host session; the section goldens gain the entry.
The web YAML editor is gone. agentPreset.write (arbitrary composition
text) became agentPreset.copy { from, agentPreset, name? }: a host-side
whole-directory copy of ids the host resolves itself — symlinks
dereferenced, modes re-tightened to owner-only with owner-execute kept,
metadata rewritten to keep the source's description but never its name or
roster order. No composition text or path crosses the wire in either
authoring direction, and the entryListSchema/!!js concern dissolves with
assertComposition itself.
The settings section becomes: a read-only viewer over shipped
compositions, a copy dialog (id + optional display name) as the only
create entry, delete for custom rows, and a location action leading into
the preset's own files — agentPreset.openDocument { agentPreset } resolves
the directory host-side and opens it natively, or answers
{ opened: false, path } for the row to show as text where the deployment
has no desktop. agentPreset.list reports hasDocument beside authorable;
the gateway's nativeOpen config pins the capability where
canOpenNativePath platform detection would mislead. The privileged set is
now read/copy/openDocument/remove.
With files as the only composition editor, standing mounts grew
stamp-keyed generations: ensureStanding compares the composition file's
mtime+size and starts the next generation for later sessions, while every
joined session keeps the generation it runs on.
New keyless web lane (agent-preset-authoring, overlay pins
nativeOpen: false so goldens render one branch on every platform) drives
view/copy/reveal/delete end to end; the real-composition CLI e2e switches
to copy semantics.
The shared picker's id fallback on both trust levels, the chip refusing an
unrelated settings namespace, a refused `settings.describe`, and a blank
draft that names no source. Drops the picker's `title`, which this layer's
one caller never passes.
A shipped preset has nothing to commit or abandon, and the back link above
already leaves the screen; a lone Close button below the composition was a
second way out of the same place. The action row now renders only when the
draft is writable, where Cancel and Save are both real choices.
The composition label named `cordis.yml`; the file a preset actually holds
is `agent.cordis.yml`.
The picker listed presets alphabetically by id, so the shipped set read
cordis, minimal, standard — reverse order of capability. A preset may now
declare `order` in its metadata; the shipped three declare 1/2/3 and read
standard, minimal, cordis. A preset that declares none sorts behind those
that do, then by id, so authored presets stay stable.
Editing had nowhere good to live. Inside a card it was squeezed into a
~268px column; hanging off the end of the grid it was orphaned from the card
it edits. It now replaces the list: a back link, what is being edited, and
the form at full width. One thing on screen at a time, which is what the
form's height wanted all along.
Cards in different grid rows sized independently, so a short description made
a short card. `grid-auto-rows: 1fr` makes every row the same height.
The trust badge lost its pill when the card CSS was rewritten, and `In use`
never had one; both are tags now. Icon labels moved from `title` to a drawn
tooltip — the native one waits about a second, which reads as nothing
happening.
Four changes to the Agent 预设 section, all from the same reading: choosing
a preset is the common act and everything else is occasional.
Picking is now clicking the card rather than hunting a small "Set as
default" button. The card body is the button; the action row sits outside it
because nesting buttons is invalid and those actions operate ON a card
rather than select it. The body's accessible name is set explicitly —
otherwise it is the whole card read aloud, title through id.
Actions are icon-only with their label on hover and on `aria-label`, so four
controls stop competing with the content for attention.
Built-in and custom presets are separated under headings, and the trust
badge moved up beside the title where it qualifies the name. A group with no
members renders no heading.
`Local` reads as a location; these are the user's own, so the badge and the
heading both say `Custom` / 自定义.
A picker showed directory names, so the settings page could only ever list
`standard` / `core-web` / `cordis` and hope the reader knew what they meant.
A preset may now publish display text in an optional `preset.yml` beside
its composition, and the section renders cards — name, description, and the
one in use — instead of rows.
The file carries display text ONLY. `id` is the directory name and `trust`
comes from the root a preset was discovered under, so neither is writable
there: otherwise a locally authored preset could name itself into the
shipped set. It is a separate file because a composition is a top-level list
of plugin rows — YAML cannot carry sibling keys beside it, and a fake
metadata row would hand the Loader something to load.
Every read failure degrades to no metadata; absent, malformed, wrongly
typed, and blank all mean the same thing and the picker falls back to the
id. Presentation is not capability: a preset whose name is broken still
mounts.
The editor gained name and description fields above the YAML, and clearing
both removes the file rather than storing a blank name.
A composition is a file, but "edit it on the filesystem" is not a browser
affordance. The roster gains `read`/`write`/`remove` beside `select`, and
the browser gains a settings section over them: the presets as rows, one
composition open in a YAML editor at a time, and per-row default, duplicate,
and delete.
All four authoring methods are loopback-pinned. A composition names the
plugins a session runs, so reading one is reconnaissance, writing one is
arbitrary capability, and selecting one can move a session onto a preset
that edits the live runtime. `agentPreset.list` deliberately stays ordinary
and now reports `authorable`, so a surface knows whether creating is
possible at all rather than offering a button whose save always fails.
Authoring starts by duplicating: a shipped preset opens read-only because
the deployment's copy is what a broken local one is compared against. Ids
are contained before they become directory names, and the text is parsed
with the loader's own schema, so a save cannot leave a file no session
could load.
Fixes a defect the real-composition test found: a preset written under the
user's home could never mount, because the loader resolves a row against the
composition's own directory and Node's `node_modules` walk from there never
reaches the installed harness. The mount now records the host base and sends
bare specifiers there, leaving relative paths resolving from the preset.
Also closes the coverage the earlier surfaces in this stack shipped without —
the General row, the composer seat, and the plugin halves now have tests.
