kingwl c53e9c90db subagent: carry inherited policy overrides in the child session header
Review fix (ds-review-bot critical #2 on #623): the first-turn event stamp
had a durability hole no turn anchoring can close — an idle SessionStart-
style injection persists a complete one-shot turn before any prompt turn
opens, so a crash in that window left a resumable-looking child with no
inherited policy, falling back to a possibly wider deployment default.

The captured overrides now ride the child's creation meta into its
immutable SessionHeader (sandboxMode/approvalPolicy, neutral strings at the
session boundary — the delegationDepth precedent), durable from the moment
the session exists: no listener ordering can starve the baseline and no
crash window can lose it. overrideOf(session) on both policy services
resolves fold(events past header.seedLength) ?? header baseline, validating
against the closed vocabulary on read; stampOverride and the prompt-submit
listener machinery are deleted. The header field rides both persistence
backends (JSONL header line; SQLite sessions columns, SCHEMA_VERSION 11 —
pre-release, no migration). pty-local reads through overrideOf so PTY
spawns see the baseline too.

Red-first: header-durability-before-any-turn test (the injection crash
window shape), baseline/seed-boundary/closed-vocabulary contract tests in
both service suites; the real-wall suite (race, veto, fork stale-seed,
grandchild) re-anchored on header assertions and green. The Agent Note's
Alternatives now records the superseded event-stamping iteration with the
review evidence; bilingual docs updated.

Local Linux/macOS node-pty backend for ctx.pty; loading it on another platform fails as unsupported. It starts an interactive shell under the shared ctx.sandboxPolicy, strips credential-shaped ambient environment variables, retains bounded line-oriented output, detects readiness, and tears down the captured process tree rooted at the node-pty child.

Plugin (pty-local)

The plugin injects pty, sandbox, and sandboxPolicy, then registers the configured backend type (shell). danger-full-access starts the shell directly; confined modes wrap the exact shell argv through ctx.sandbox. The effective session mode is resolved at spawn. A change to a different effective mode is rejected before its sandbox/mode event commits while that owner has an open PTY or a spawn in progress; the fence is attached to the exact owner and therefore outlives a local-provider reload that retains existing sessions. Wait for creation to settle and close the sessions before changing modes, so a terminal opened with wider access cannot survive a downgrade.

Linux readiness combines a foreground-verified private bash prompt marker, foreground-process-group syscall inspection, silence fallback, and absolute timeout. macOS uses the verified prompt marker plus silence/timeout because it has no /proc syscall surface. A marker is not ready until printable prompt text arrives, including when the OSC marker and PS1 are split across data callbacks; when bash prints the marker before the kernel publishes its return to the foreground process group, polling retains the candidate through one final poll after the ordinary silence bound so a coincident handoff can win. An interactive child that inherits PROMPT_COMMAND therefore cannot suppress inferred-idle readiness until the absolute timeout. Unrecognized or unreadable process state is never a positive exact-idle signal. During unpublished startup, a fallback requires observed output; zero-output silence cannot publish an empty session, and timeout rejects the spawn. Cancellation closes the unpublished shell and rejects with the caller's exact abort reason even when its foreground process group is not observable yet; if that close fails, PtyBackendCleanupError separately preserves the cleanup failure for registry disposal. Incomplete terminal-control sequences are bounded by maxReadBytes and discarded through their terminator after crossing that limit; a trailing carriage return is carried across callbacks so split CRLF becomes one newline.

Send cancellation resolves the current foreground process group and delivers a real SIGINT; it never emulates interruption by writing \x03, so raw-mode programs remain cancellable. Close sends SIGTERM to descendants, waits, then sends SIGKILL to the union of captured survivors and newly scanned descendants so reparenting cannot hide a process from teardown. It verifies that every retained identity is gone or, on Linux, a non-executing zombie before stopping the shell; zombie entries are quiescent and are reaped as the shell exits. A survivor failure does not cache a permanently rejected close; a later close retries the teardown.

Model Experience

Indirect consumer

What the model sees

Nothing directly. Through @deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-pty, the model may receive bounded MOTD, send deltas, scrollback pages, readiness reasons, and cleanup errors.

Token effect

None until a consumer returns bounded backend output. Retained PTY scrollback is not placed in model history by this package.

KV Cache effect

No direct invalidation; the consumer owns prompts, schemas, and appended results.

Known Limitations and Deferred Work

  • Line-oriented output is normalized; full-screen alternate-buffer interaction is unsupported.
  • Linux exact probes support x64 and arm64 UAPI tables; other architectures use prompt-marker and silence/timeout readiness.
  • A descendant that daemonizes and reparents before teardown leaves the captured tree; cleanup never broadens to the launcher PID's POSIX session because that can include unrelated processes.
  • Sessions do not survive harness process exit.
