Four values complete the vocabulary, so the opaque body is reached only by
producers that genuinely promise no shape.
`snapshot` — current state a later snapshot supersedes. system-prompt now
exposes `renderContextSections()`, the named contributions
`renderContextSnapshot()` already joins for the model, so the body attributes
each part to the subsystem that produced it instead of re-splitting joined
prose. The runtime snapshot, time-context, and tmux-context declare it.
`notice` — a one-off account of what just happened, declared by tool-tasks,
goal state changes, tool-goal wrap-up, plan-mode switches, and
repeat-tool-guard. Its `summary` rides the COLLAPSED row: these five are the
majority of shipped producers and none of them needs expanding to be read.
The task summary bounds itself because its inputs are unbounded caller text.
`relay` — a message another agent addressed to this one; both subagent
sources declare it and the body names the sender above what it said.
`recall` — material lifted from another session's log. session-reference
needed no new field: its references already record retained and omitted
counts and the truncation flag, which the body shows first, because recalled
context is bounded on the way in.
`ContextFormed` is now discriminated by `form`, so a producer cannot declare
a shape without the facts that shape is presented from — a notice without its
summary, or a snapshot without its sections, fails to compile.
Only the two hook bridges stay opaque, by design: their content is whatever
an external program printed, so no shape can be promised for it. Unknown
kinds and unreadable records land there too.
Injected context reached the transcript as one anonymous shape whose
expanded body was the whole message serialized as inline JSON, so the
escaping collapsed the only readable part — the model-facing prose —
into a single line.
`MessageSource` gains an optional producer-declared `form`, a small
semantic vocabulary of information shapes independent of `kind`: kind
says who produced the context, form says what shape it is, so several
producers may share one presentation. Two values ship.
`instructions` (workspace-context) lists the reconciled files above
their text and keeps the `<system-reminder>` framing verbatim, because
the framing is part of what the model read. `catalog` moves dsh-tool-skill
off the shared plugin kind onto a `skill-catalog` source carrying the
published name/description entries, and the body lists those instead of
re-parsing `<available_skills>` out of the prose. Catalog identity moves
with it: the republish digest now covers the durable entries, deleting
the text-slicing that recovered them from a logged message.
Everything else renders the opaque body — the model-facing text with its
real line breaks, then the remaining provenance as fields. That is the
documented default, not a leftover: a resumed, forked, or foreign log
must render whether or not its producer is mounted here, which is why
the classification lives in the durable source rather than a client-side
table keyed by producer.
Agent setup may await while a mutable contribution registry changes. The previous subagent path validated and committed its provisioning batch inside the setup callback. A revocation queued after that callback returned therefore treated the installation as resident and released it, even though AgentLoop had not published the child yet. AgentLoop could then admit and announce a child whose required capability had already disappeared.
Introduce AgentSetupCommit as the optional synchronous result of create and resume setup. AgentLoop now awaits setup, invokes that commit with no intervening asynchronous boundary, and only then enters the Session and Agent registries. A commit failure follows the existing private-transaction rollback, so neither identity is published and the caller can reuse the id.
Keep continuable-subagent installations provisional until this publication commit. Contribution removal still releases every installation immediately, but now marks an unpublished batch invalid so its commit rejects with ACTIVATION_SETUP_REVOKED. Once the commit succeeds, later removal remains ordinary live revocation.
Cover create and resume ordering, resume commit rejection and identity reuse, and an assembled microtask revocation that leaves only the parent Agent and Session. Update the public JSDoc, architecture flow, package contracts, current Agent Notes, Chinese counterparts, pairing records, and generated Cordis API to describe the new boundary.
Validated with the four focused Agent/subagent test files (91 tests), the isolated assembled regression, targeted TypeScript project builds, generated Cordis API freshness, export JSDoc verification, scoped translation pairing, Markdown wrapping, and Mermaid parsing.
- listChildren() checks its cancellation signal before starting the corpus
trace and immediately after it resolves, so a pre-aborted or trace-time
abort fails CANCELLED instead of returning a successful empty result.
- Corrected the persistence-repair claims: session query resolves persisted
candidates through the non-mutating inspect() read, so listing is
storage-read-only and a torn child tail is surfaced (shorter valid prefix)
rather than repaired; the Agent Note, README, and JSDoc now state that,
and the zh pair is re-recorded.
- listChildren() takes an optional AbortSignal and rechecks it after every
un-signalled session-query await (the cold-resume cooperative-cancellation
boundary); list_agents forwards exec.signal so the registry's drain of
started tool bodies cannot block on a slow or large catalog.
- The list_agents description now presents running/complete as a stored-record
snapshot and defers deliverability to send_message, matching the ownership-
conflict semantics the service tests pin.
Implements the durable-subagent-catalog RFC: SubagentControlService.listChildren()
enumerates a parent's direct continuable children from one sessionQuery trace,
validates each child's sole subagent/descriptor event (now carrying the durable
creation label), and returns one ordered SubagentListEntry[] with per-child
corrupt/unsupported/unavailable diagnostics. The list_agents tool ships as a
separately loadable plugin of dsh-tool-subagent-control requiring sessionQuery
at load; send_message stays usable without it.
Remove the host-user continuation capability and the public residency query,
then separate the seam's public event payloads from its internal lifecycle
control interfaces.
`followup()` now takes the exact live direct parent `Agent` instead of a
`SubagentAuthority` union. No production adapter ever supplied user authority,
so the `UserAuthorityGrant` brand token existed only to stop a forged
discriminant from bypassing the direct-parent check — deleting the branch
retires the token, its mint method, and that attack surface together.
Narrowing `parent` from `Agent | undefined` to `Agent` removes three special
cases, including the path where a parentless epoch dispatched its lifecycle
events unscoped. Scoped-versus-global dispatch is now decided by the event, not
by whether a caller happened to have a parent.
`activationState()` had no caller; `ActivationState`, `ActivationObserver`, and
`ContinuationHost` are package-private.
New `src/lifecycle.ts` owns the contained emitter, the one-shot run observer,
and the Activation observer, while `SubagentRunInfo`/`SubagentRunEndInfo` move
to `src/types.ts` beside the other consumer-facing contracts. Those payloads are
public API — dsh-jsonrpc, hooks-claude, and the package invariant all consume
them — whereas the observer is a contract between two in-package collaborators,
so they no longer share a home merely for both being lifecycle-shaped. The
service keeps ownership of the scope carrier: `scopeTarget()` composes the
service's own context filter, so a narrowed stand-in would silently change
scope filtering.
Also drops now-unused dsh-tasks-local and dsh-tool-tasks dev dependencies, and
corrects the README claim that a pre-residency failure emits a terminal edge —
that path only ever rethrew.
- Make host-user authority unforgeable. `{ kind: 'user' }` was a bare
discriminant, so any plugin holding `ctx.subagents` — including
model-generated cordis_mount code, which the advanced ACP composition ships
alongside continuable subagents — could construct it and skip the
direct-parent check for any known child id. It now carries an opaque grant
that only SubagentService.userAuthority() mints, which composition hands to
trusted host adapters; a model-facing tool uses parent authority from its own
execution context.
- Reconcile a delivery discarded inside its own admission window. An enqueue
listener that cancels fires the discard before followup() returns, so the
discard listener could not clear an id it had not seen; submit() retained it
and residency stayed `running` until an explicit drain.
- Recheck the caller signal after materialization. An abort landing between
publication and inbox acceptance still submitted the prompt and returned both
ids; it now rolls the child back.
- Stop promising the model transcript access that no shipped continuable config
mounts. The tools now state only that a background child does not report back.
- Restate the implemented note as shipped state rather than a proposal, so it
works as current authority.
Adds the new continuable types to the cordis-catalog type-link map and
regenerates the cordis api/service/event catalogs, tool catalog, config
catalog, and doc graphs.
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.
ds-review-bot round 1 on the DSH-home integration:
- generated wrappers now inject the services their manifest needs (skills/
tools beside loader), and loadPreparedRepository rejects a wrapper fiber
that settles anything but ACTIVE — a composition missing a required
service fails the repository transaction instead of committing an ACTIVE
row over a silently PENDING child (critical finding)
- the github: source ref segment excludes '#', so 'a#b' refs fail at the
config parser with the promised syntax instead of inside pnpm
- watchPersonalPatches re-reads the include's non-patch options per refresh
instead of a registration-time snapshot
- the TUI smoke's cache-seeded wrapper is produced by the real
prepareDshPlugin (cache LAYOUT stays a deliberate external pin)
- new Loader integration test drives a live repositories update through
entry.update: generation swap, old skills removed, failed candidate
rolled back to the previous generation
