$DSH_HOME/.env had just become an ordinary environment layer, which left the harness resolving user-facing values from a flattened process.env that could no longer say where a value came from. A key stored through the web page stayed shadowed by an older key in the user's own .env. An endpoint could be redirected by the project: the invoking directory's .env is materialized like every other layer, and a base URL decides where a resolved API key is sent, so a DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL written into a model-editable workspace would send the user's credential — and the prompts carrying their code — to whatever host that file named. Give every user-facing value one ordering, with four kinds of source: explicit for this run per-operation override, CLI argument > authored by deployment --config / --config-replace > this launch's shell inherited process environment > product-managed store settings.yaml, .credentials.yaml > discovered file $DSH_HOME/.env > defaults schema default, shipped base, public default The domains differ only in which tiers exist. The earlier split — credentials ranking the environment over the managed file while settings ranked over the environment — was inconsistent: the distinguishing fact is who authored the source, not the domain. packages/util/environment owns an immutable snapshot with per-layer provenance. getFrom(name, sources) searches only the layers a caller names, and omitting one is a refusal rather than a demotion: the adapters ask for ['process', 'user-env'], so no reordering can let a project file back into a decision it was excluded from. isBootstrapOnly rejects, before anything is materialized, any .env setting a variable that governs how a process launches (PATH, SHELL, NODE_OPTIONS, LD_PRELOAD), where code or model-visible instructions load from (the whole DSH_* namespace, HOME, XDG_*), or how the network is reached (proxy and CA variables). The namespace is denied wholesale so a switch added later cannot become settable by being forgotten, and there is no opt-out. verify-config-source-ownership keeps both rules: no unregistered process.env read under packages/*/*/src (26 allowlisted with reasons), and no apiKey, baseURL, or headers inlined from the environment in shipped Cordis config — removing those inlines is what makes the deployment tier meaningful.
@deepseek-ai/dsh-web-search-exa
English | 中文
An Exa-backed WebSearchProvider for the harness web capability seam (ctx.web). It calls Exa's POST /search endpoint with highlight contents and maps the flat results[] into the seam's normalized WebSearchResult.
This is an implementation package: it registers a provider into ctx.web, it does not own the ctx.web key and it does not register a model-facing tool (that is @deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-web). Like @deepseek-ai/dsh-llm-deepseek, it is a function/namespace plugin (inject: ['web']) that registers its backend, not a default-export service.
Config
| Key | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
apiKey |
$EXA_API_KEY |
Exa API key. Empty/absent makes the provider unavailable. |
baseURL |
https://api.exa.ai |
Endpoint base; /search is appended. An unparseable value makes the provider unavailable. |
searchType |
auto |
Retrieval mode sent as Exa's type: auto (Exa decides), keyword, or neural. |
numResults |
(unset) | Default result count when a request carries no maxResults. Unset sends no default. Must be a positive integer. |
highlightsPerResult |
1 |
Highlight sentences requested per result (Exa's highlightsPerUrl). Must be a positive integer. |

Mapping
Exa returns a flat results[] and no generated answer, so content is omitted. Each result maps to a WebSearchSource: url ← url, title ← title, snippet ← the first non-empty highlights[] entry (a result with no highlight has no portable snippet and is dropped), publishedAt ← publishedDate. A request's maxResults wins over the configured numResults default and is sent as Exa's numResults for a cost/latency optimization; the final bound is enforced by the seam. Provider failures (HTTP errors, network failure, unparseable or wrong-shape bodies) surface as WebError WEB_PROVIDER_ERROR; an aborted request surfaces as WEB_ABORTED. HTTP redirects are rejected before the Location target is contacted and surface as WEB_PROVIDER_ERROR.
Model Experience
Indirectly, through dsh-tool-web, which retains this provider's maxResults-bounded URLs, titles, first highlights, and publication dates or its exact Exa search aborted, Exa search request failed: <error>, and Exa returned an unprocessable response body: <error> failures under the consumer's error wrapper while generated answers and provider-private fields remain outside context.
KV Cache effect
No direct invalidation; the named consumer owns any request-prefix changes.
Known Limitations and Deferred Work
- A result with no non-blank highlight is dropped entirely — no portable snippet to map, so fewer sources than the requested count can return.
- Only
searchType/numResults/highlightsPerResultare exposed — Exa's other controls (livecrawl, category, domain/date filters, full-text contents) wait on provider-neutral seam fields (seam Agent Note). - Abort classification is error-shape-based — only a
DOMExceptionnamedAbortErrormaps toWEB_ABORTED; an abort carrying a custom reason (e.g.dsh-timeout'sTimeoutReason) surfaces asWEB_PROVIDER_ERROR.
