 The preset persona is exactly `You are a helpful software engineer assistant.` and sets `complete: true`.

-The RL prompt is fixed rather than environment-overridable, and `minimal` is the only shipped place that states it.

The preset pays for its own PTY and compaction service instances, while other presets pay nothing for them.

+# Run the minimal agent with the Python SDK
+
+English | [中文](python-sdk-minimal.zh.md)
+
+This tutorial runs the minimal agent without the Web UI. The checked-in Cordis composition fixes the system prompt, tool catalog, persistent-shell behavior, and compaction policy so SDK runs use the same model-facing contract as the Web `minimal` preset.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Python 3.10 or newer
+- Linux x64, Linux arm64, or macOS arm64
+- A DeepSeek-compatible API endpoint and credential
+- An isolated workspace that the agent may modify
+
+Create a virtual environment and install the SDK with its same-version bundled runtime:
+
+```sh
+python -m venv .venv
+. .venv/bin/activate
+python -m pip install deepseek-harness
+```
+
+The runtime wheel contains the JSON-RPC executable and every plugin used by the complete [`minimal.cordis.yml`](../../../examples/jsonrpc-agent/minimal.cordis.yml), so an installed SDK does not need Node.js.
+
+## Run the checked-in example
+
+Set the credential in the environment. Set `DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL` as well when the model is served by an OpenAI-compatible proxy rather than the default DeepSeek endpoint.
+
+```sh
+export DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-your-key-here
+# export DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1
+```
+
+Run one task from the repository checkout:
+
+```sh
+python examples/jsonrpc-agent/minimal.py \
+  --workspace /absolute/path/to/workspace \
+  --session-root /absolute/path/to/trajectories \
+  --session-id example-001 \
+  "Inspect the repository and fix the failing tests."
+```
+
+The script prints the final assistant response. The session root receives the JSONL trajectory, including the assembled model request and every tool call.
+
+## Use the SDK in your own program
+
+The example is a thin wrapper around this SDK call:
+
+```python
+from pathlib import Path
+
+from deepseek_harness import DeepSeekHarness
+
+config = Path("examples/jsonrpc-agent/minimal.cordis.yml").resolve()
+workspace = Path("/absolute/path/to/workspace").resolve()
+sessions = Path("/absolute/path/to/trajectories").resolve()
+
+with DeepSeekHarness(
+    provider="deepseek-official",
+    model="deepseek-v4-flash",
+    max_tokens=49_152,
+    cwd=str(workspace),
+    session_root=str(sessions),
+    cordis=str(config),
+) as harness:
+    result = harness.run(
+        "Inspect the repository and fix the failing tests.",
+        session_id="example-001",
+    )
+
+print(result.final_response)
+```
+
+`DeepSeekHarness` starts the bundled JSON-RPC runtime lazily and reuses it until the context manager exits. Reusing the same harness and session id across calls also preserves the session-owned Bash process, including its working directory, exported variables, and shell functions.
+
+## Contract reproduced by the configuration
+
+| Surface | Fixed value |
+|---|---|
+| System prompt | `You are a helpful software engineer assistant.` |
+| Model-facing tools | Persistent `bash` and `str_replace_editor` only |
+| Bash timeout | 300 seconds |
+| Editor output limit | 16,000 characters |
+| Compaction | Trigger ratio `0.8`, retain `20,480` tokens, summary cap `8,192` tokens, one retry |
+| Session persistence | Uncompressed JSONL under `DSH_SESSION_ROOT` |
+
+The configuration omits harness identity, workspace prompt text, skills, one-shot Bash, task tools, and every other model-facing plugin. Filesystem policy facts are logged as runtime user context rather than appended to the system prompt. The editor requires absolute paths as an unconditional current contract, so the obsolete `requireAbsolutePath` option is absent.
+
+## Keep runs reproducible
+
+For comparable trajectories, pin the Harness commit and Python package version together, retain the exact Cordis file, and record the provider, model, endpoint, `max_tokens`, task input, workspace state, and session id for every run. Start independent runs with a clean workspace and a fresh session id; reuse a session only when multi-turn state is intentional.
+
+The composition uses `danger-full-access`. Run it only inside a disposable checkout or container: Bash and the editor can modify any path allowed to the runtime process. The persistent PTY backend requires a POSIX terminal substrate and is not a Windows agent surface.
+
+For the complete SDK lifecycle and result contract, see the [Python SDK reference](../../../python/sdk/README.md). For Cordis composition syntax, see [Configuration](./config.md).

+# 使用 Python SDK 运行极简 agent（智能体）
+
+[English](python-sdk-minimal.md) | 中文
+
+本教程介绍如何在不使用 Web UI 的情况下运行极简 agent。仓库内置的 Cordis 组合固定了系统提示词、工具目录、持久 shell 行为和压缩（compaction）策略，因此 SDK 运行与 Web `minimal` preset 使用相同的面向模型约定。
+
+## 前置要求
+
+- Python 3.10 或更高版本
+- Linux x64、Linux arm64 或 macOS arm64
+- DeepSeek 兼容的 API 端点与凭据
+- agent 可以修改的隔离 workspace
+
+请创建虚拟环境，并安装 SDK 及其同版本内置运行时：
+
+```sh
+python -m venv .venv
+. .venv/bin/activate
+python -m pip install deepseek-harness
+```
+
+运行时 wheel 包含 JSON-RPC 可执行文件，以及完整 [`minimal.cordis.yml`](../../../examples/jsonrpc-agent/minimal.cordis.yml) 使用的每个插件，因此安装后的 SDK 不需要 Node.js。
+
+## 运行仓库内置示例
+
+请在环境中设置凭据。如果模型不是由默认 DeepSeek 端点提供，而是通过 OpenAI 兼容代理提供，还需要设置 `DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL`。
+
+```sh
+export DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-your-key-here
+# export DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1
+```
+
+从仓库 checkout 运行一个任务：
+
+```sh
+python examples/jsonrpc-agent/minimal.py \
+  --workspace /absolute/path/to/workspace \
+  --session-root /absolute/path/to/trajectories \
+  --session-id example-001 \
+  "Inspect the repository and fix the failing tests."
+```
+
+脚本会打印 assistant 的最终回复。会话根目录会收到 JSONL 运行轨迹，其中包含组装后的模型请求与每次工具调用。
+
+## 在自己的程序中使用 SDK
+
+该示例是以下 SDK 调用的轻量包装层：
+
+```python
+from pathlib import Path
+
+from deepseek_harness import DeepSeekHarness
+
+config = Path("examples/jsonrpc-agent/minimal.cordis.yml").resolve()
+workspace = Path("/absolute/path/to/workspace").resolve()
+sessions = Path("/absolute/path/to/trajectories").resolve()
+
+with DeepSeekHarness(
+    provider="deepseek-official",
+    model="deepseek-v4-flash",
+    max_tokens=49_152,
+    cwd=str(workspace),
+    session_root=str(sessions),
+    cordis=str(config),
+) as harness:
+    result = harness.run(
+        "Inspect the repository and fix the failing tests.",
+        session_id="example-001",
+    )
+
+print(result.final_response)
+```
+
+`DeepSeekHarness` 会延迟启动内置 JSON-RPC 运行时，并持续复用，直至退出上下文管理器。在多次调用中复用同一个 harness 和 session id，还会保留该会话拥有的 Bash 进程，包括其工作目录、已导出的变量与 shell 函数。
+
+## 配置复现的约定
+
+| 方面 | 固定值 |
+|---|---|
+| 系统提示词 | `You are a helpful software engineer assistant.` |
+| 面向模型的工具 | 仅持久 `bash` 与 `str_replace_editor` |
+| Bash 超时 | 300 秒 |
+| 编辑器输出上限 | 16,000 个字符 |
+| 压缩 | 触发比例 `0.8`、保留 `20,480` 个 token、摘要上限 `8,192` 个 token、重试 1 次 |
+| 会话持久化 | `DSH_SESSION_ROOT` 下未压缩的 JSONL |
+
+该配置省略了 harness 身份、workspace 提示词文本、skill（技能）、一次性 Bash、任务工具和其他所有面向模型的插件。文件系统策略事实记录为运行时用户上下文，而不会追加到系统提示词中。编辑器无条件要求绝对路径，因此配置中没有已经废弃的 `requireAbsolutePath` 选项。
+
+## 保持运行可复现
+
+为了让运行轨迹可复现且便于比较，请配套固定 Harness commit 与 Python 包版本，保留确切的 Cordis 文件，并为每次运行记录提供方、模型、端点、`max_tokens`、任务输入、workspace 状态和 session id。独立运行应使用干净的 workspace 和新的 session id；只有有意保留多轮状态时才复用会话。
+
+该组合使用 `danger-full-access`。只能在可丢弃的 checkout 或容器内运行：Bash 与编辑器可以修改运行时进程有权访问的任何路径。持久 PTY 后端需要 POSIX 终端环境，因此该模式不适用于 Windows agent。
+
+完整的 SDK 生命周期与结果约定见 [Python SDK 参考](../../../python/sdk/README.md)。Cordis 组合语法见[配置](./config.md)。

 `provider` selects a provider route registered by the chosen Cordis composition; `model` is the model id resolved by that adapter. `max_tokens` is an optional positive per-request output-token cap for the root agent and its in-process descendants; omission leaves the provider default in control. Compaction summaries keep the separate limit configured by their compaction plugin. The bundled default composition registers `deepseek-official`. A custom composition can mount `llm-pi-ai`, configure provider-specific credentials/endpoints there, and select any provider/model present in pi-ai's installed catalog.

 `Session.run()` owns an activity interval from its prompt's durable inbox receipt through the next whole-agent idle and returns `RunResult(session_id, final_response, events, notifications, session_root)`. The result has no prompt-level status or turn reason: `final_response` is the last committed root-session assistant text in the interval, not an output causally assigned to the prompt. Steering, injected context, and other queued work may contribute before idle.
 
 `HarnessClient` retains discovered subagent ancestry for the lifetime of the runtime process. During each `Session.run()`, `RunResult.notifications` and `on_notification` receive the root session and all known descendant notifications in wire order, including nested subagent lifecycle and session events. `RunResult.events` contains root-session events only, so descendant messages cannot replace the root response. The low-level `session_prompt()` returns the queued `MessageId` immediately; callers that bypass `Session.run()` own any later activity boundary themselves.

 `Session.run()` 拥有一个从提示词进入持久 inbox 时开始、到整个 agent 下一次进入空闲状态为止的活动区间，并返回 `RunResult(session_id, final_response, events, notifications, session_root)`。结果不携带提示词级状态或轮次原因：`final_response` 是该区间内根会话最后提交的助手文本，并非因果上归属于该提示词的输出。steering（中途引导）、注入的上下文和其他排队工作都可能在进入空闲状态前参与其中。
 
 `HarnessClient` 会在运行时进程的生命周期内保留已发现的 subagent（子 agent）祖先关系。每次执行 `Session.run()` 时，`RunResult.notifications` 与 `on_notification` 会按协议传输顺序收到根会话及所有已知后代的通知，其中包括嵌套 subagent 的生命周期事件与会话事件。`RunResult.events` 只包含根会话事件，因此后代消息不会覆盖根会话回复。底层 `session_prompt()` 会立即返回已排队消息的 `MessageId`；绕过 `Session.run()` 的调用方必须自行负责后续的活动边界。
