A preset is now ONE composition per process, not one per session. The roster
mounts it once under a synthetic standing scope; each agent joins by having
its scope key parented to the mount's. Two mechanisms in dsh-scope carry the
whole change: registration views walk the parent chain (global → preset →
agent, nearest shadowing farthest — ScopedLayers.chainLayers), and scoped
event dispatch admits a listener tagged with an ancestor of the carrier key,
which is what lets a standing composition's plan/compaction/token listeners
observe each agent composed under it while a sibling preset's stay deaf.
The preset plugins already key their state by Session/Agent — they predate
presets and were written for the shared world — so sharing one instance is a
return to their design, not a rewrite. Preset ymls are unchanged: one mount
per preset means one Entry per preset, whose entry-local realms keep two
presets' services apart exactly as they kept two sessions' apart before.
The standing scope hangs off the service's UNTRACED context (selfCtx): a
method invoked through the traceable proxy sees this.ctx rebound to the
caller and carrying its shadow, and a subtree minted from that resolves every
service through the shadow's fiber instead of each entry's own inject store —
preset rows then fail on the very services they declare.
A standing mount survives its agents deliberately. The composition a running
session joined must outlive the file changing or disappearing underneath it;
reclamation happens at whole-tree teardown, and file edits reach only future
generations (the authoring layer swaps the pointer, never disposes a joined
generation).
The Gateway serves the goal domain as Remote endpoints, and a Remote method
picks its receiver Service from a generated descriptor — `clear(agent, ref)`
takes its agent as a PARAMETER, so the invocation is direct and the receiver
resolves on the host. Behind the preset's entry-local realm there was nothing
to resolve, and every browser goal call answered `service-unavailable`: the
composer's Clear goal button left the bar on screen.
That is the `bash-env` criterion read from the other side. Injection is not the
only host relationship a Service can have; being READ from a host row is one
too. The registry is keyed by session, so one host instance serves every
session exactly as it did before presets. The preset keeps the model-facing
tool, which is the choice a preset is for.
Also reverts the cold-transcript presenter resolve: resuming an agent to reach
its presenters made the context meter drop its cache and token counts on every
cold-opened session, trading one silent degradation for another. The card
degradation it addressed is diagnosed and still open.
A preset registers its tools into the agent's OWN layer, so `session.history`
served while no agent exists found no presenter at all and every card degraded
to the generic renderer — silently, because a viewless entry is also what a
tool with no presenter produces. The web client opens a session by reading its
transcript, so this was the ordinary path, not an edge: the write row lost its
diff card, and with it the `locations` the produced-files row derives from.
The read now resolves the agent through the same deduplicated resume every
other session method takes, but only when a roster is composed: a deployment
without presets keeps its tools on the host layer, which needs no agent to
address, and keeps the storage-only read unchanged. A resolution failure stays
a successful read.
The composer's preset seat stays removed here — this layer moved it to the
hero chip and the session-header action — so only the model seat takes the
`modelSeatLocked` narrowing master introduced.
