creatixchu 95a8e3f949 fix(client,doc): address review — flow-open busy gating, seam on the architecture map, browse gap documented
- While a picking flow is open (native chooser pending, browse dialog up) or
  its pick is being adopted, every other menu action disables: a late outcome
  must not race a concurrent selection or creation (ds-review-bot warning).
- ctx.directoryPicker joins the architecture Capability Services map (both
  languages); neighboring rows condensed to keep the doc inside its ceiling.
- directory-picker-browse documents that its client half lands in the next
  stacked PR: a -browse composition today hides the picking affordance (the
  documented empty-hole default) rather than misbehaving (ds-review-bot
  critical; the dialog itself ships in #821).

English | 中文

The in-app browsing backend of the directory-picker seam: BrowseDirectoryPicker registers ctx.directoryPicker with the browse capability — one-level directory listing and child-directory creation over Node's stdlib, which already carries the per-OS adaptation. Nothing renders on the host display, so this backend serves remote clients the native backend cannot.

Behavior facts: listings return directories only, name-sorted, with symlinks-to-directories followed (broken/cyclic links skipped — the probe stat failing means "not enterable") and a host-owned hidden flag (POSIX dot convention) left for the client to act on; crumbs is the root-to-target ancestor chain, the root crumb labeled by its full path (/, C:\); an absent list path means the host account's home directory. createDirectory is non-recursive (a missing parent is a real failure, not a level to invent) and validates the name as a single non-blank segment even when called directly, mirroring the wire schema's fence. Both primitives reject an explicit path that is not fully qualified — relative forms, and on Windows the rooted drive-less forms (\foo, /foo) and incomplete UNC prefixes (\\, \\server) that isAbsolute accepts — with directory-unreadable/directory-create-failed, instead of letting resolve rebase it under the host process cwd or current drive. Failures throw the seam's typed DirectoryPickerError. Policy rationale: the directory-picker capability seam Agent Note.

Model Experience

None, as the backend serves the GUI host's directory selection; nothing here reaches a model request.

KV Cache effect

None; this package neither assembles nor sends a provider request.

Known Limitations and Deferred Work

  • No client half yet — the in-app browsing dialog that consumes these primitives lands in the next PR of this stack; until then a -browse composition hides the picking affordance entirely (ui-workspace's documented empty-hole default) and the listing/creation RPCs go unconsumed.
  • Windows hidden attribute is not read — Node dirents do not expose FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN, so hidden means dot-prefixed on every platform until a native probe is worth its cost.
  • No drive-root enumeration — on Windows the ancestry stops at the drive root; crossing drives waits for the browser UI's path-entry affordance rather than an enumeration primitive here.
  • Whole-filesystem scope — no per-deployment browse-root restriction; workspace.create accepts arbitrary paths today, so a root here would be UX scoping, not a boundary — deferred until a deployment needs it.
