Tianyi Cui 4ad37344a8 feat(sdk): TypeScript SDK client + shared wire protocol + SDK subagent backend
- @deepseek-ai/dsh-sdk-protocol: extract the line transport from dsh-jsonrpc
  and name the request/result/notification wire types both ends share; error
  responses preserve wire code/data via JsonRpcResponseError.
- @deepseek-ai/dsh-sdk-client: TypeScript twin of the Python SDK — spawns the
  dsh-jsonrpc-agent runtime as a subprocess, drives stdio JSON-RPC turns
  (DeepSeekHarness high-level API + HarnessClient protocol client), scopes
  notifications to session trees client-side, and reaps the child through the
  shared subprocess dispose ladder.
- @deepseek-ai/dsh-subagent-sdk: out-of-process subagent backend driving a
  child harness runtime through the TS SDK; shares cwd resolution with
  subagent-acp via new dsh-subagent-subprocess cwd helpers.
- Keyless unit suites drive real subprocesses (scripted fake runtime peer);
  100% per-file coverage on all touched packages.

subagent/ — subagent capability family

English | 中文

The subagent seam: an agent delegating work to a child agent. Like the bash and llm families this is a capability seam (see capability seams) — but with one defining difference: multiple provider implementations coexist in one context, registered by name, rather than the single-implementation bash shape. The registry mirrors the LLM adapter registry.

Package Role ctx key
subagent/ Abstract subagent seam: named-provider registry + vocabulary ctx.subagents
subagent-inprocess/ Shared in-process run driver (no provider; one cleanup effect per run)
subagent-spawn/ In-process backend: a fresh child agent (registers on ctx.subagents)
subagent-fork/ In-process backend: a child seeded with the parent's completed-turn prefix (registers on ctx.subagents)
subagent-subprocess/ Shared out-of-process machinery: env scrub, dispose ladder, isolated config dirs (pure lib; registers nothing)
subagent-acp/ Out-of-process backend: a child agent in a spawned subprocess, driven over ACP (registers on ctx.subagents)
tool-subagent/ Model-facing subagent delegation tool over ctx.subagents (registers on ctx.tools)

The interface lives at subagent/subagent/. The in-process subagent-spawn / subagent-fork backends share the subagent-inprocess driver (a library with no provider of its own — both depend on it, neither on the other), and the out-of-process subagent-acp backend builds on the subagent-subprocess library (the credential env scrub, the dispose ladder, isolated config dirs). Tests replace only the child boundary with package-local fixtures.
