+The shipped loop drains work from prompt through checkpoint. Every pause is a service call or event available to plugins.
 
 A **session** is one agent's append-only event log. A **turn** drains one queued batch and runs until the model stops asking for tools and no plugin requests continuation. A **step** is one model request plus the tool executions caused by that response.

+Post-tool context lands after all tool results so tool-call/result adjacency stays stable. Steering drains between steps; ordinary leftover steering after a turn is re-queued as input. A terminal `agent/turn-stop` is the explicit exception: it runs after ordinary continuation and steering folding, then remains authoritative through turn close and flush so steering from those later listeners is discarded rather than becoming another step or turn; ordinary queued prompts are preserved.
 
 ### Failure Boundaries
 
-The turn contains listener, adapter, and step failures: it records an error reason and emits `agent/error` without killing the driver. One explicit `AbortSignal` spans prompt submission, prompt assembly, all steps, continuation, turn close, and flush; `cancel()` clears pending work and carries a typed `user` or `parent` runtime cause, while the durable turn records only `aborted` and disposal remains a distinct higher-priority terminal state. Cooperative work must settle before the loop reports quiescence. See the [explicit turn cancellation decision](rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-16-explicit-turn-cancellation.md).

New block types coordinate adapters, UI bridges, compaction pricing, token metering, and persistence as one repo-wide contract; replay measurement types live in [token-meter.md](core-data-structures/token-meter.md).
 
-Streaming is a raw chunk protocol (`block-start` through `finish`) with `BlockAssembler` as the shared chunk-to-block assembler. The loop logs raw chunks while assembling them for dispatch. `LlmAdapter` is the provider seam: subclass, implement `stream()`, and register with `ctx.llm.registerAdapter(models, adapter)`. StreamChunk conventions live in [llm-streaming.md](core-data-structures/llm-streaming.md).
+Streaming uses raw chunks (`block-start` through `finish`) and `BlockAssembler`. The loop logs and assembles chunks, storing provider/model provenance plus replay state. An `LlmAdapter` implements `stream()`, registers provider routes, and may expose selector metadata; it resolves and validates model ids. Replay state reaches targets only when both routes map to one adapter instance, which owns validation and conversion. The contract lives in [llm-streaming.md](core-data-structures/llm-streaming.md).

 A swappable capability usually splits into **interface / implementation / consumer**: the interface owns its `ctx` key and events, an implementation registers a backend, and a consumer exposes model behavior through tools or prompts. Bash is the reference; the [capability graph](capability-seams.md) shows every family.
 
-Some seams bend the template deliberately. LLM keeps interface and consumer vocabulary together because adapters are the implementations. Filesystem adds policy gates around provider primitives. Web is one service with search and fetch provider registries, so provider swaps do not rename model tools. Skills and subagents use named provider registries; local skills scan project/user roots, and other providers can add embedded or remote catalogs without registry/tool changes. Subagents spawn fresh, fork from the parent's completed-turn prefix, or use ACP children ([subagent.md](core-data-structures/subagent.md)).

 ### Bundles And Apps
 
-`dsh-agent-spine-demo` is the default composition bundle: one plugin loading the shared spine ([README](../packages/examples/agent-spine-demo/README.md)). App packages compose it with a front door and boot `bin`: `dsh-stdio-demo` for terminal REPL, and `dsh-acp-demo` for ACP over JSON-RPC stdio with no stdout logger ([ui/](../packages/ui/README.md)). `dsh-jsonrpc-agent` instead boots an external `cordis.yml`; the Python SDK injects the package default only when no explicit config channel is set and drives `dsh-jsonrpc` over line-delimited stdio JSON-RPC ([Python SDK](../python/README.md)). A deployment is a thin `cordis.yml` leaf: swappable backends, one app entry, and optional product tools ([examples/](../examples/AGENTS.md), [runnable wirings](cookbook/extension-cookbook.md#runnable-wirings), [graph atlas](graph-atlas.md)).

+`CompactService` exposes `compactIfNeeded(...)` for pressure-triggered compaction, returning `null` when no compaction is needed, and `compactRegion(...)` for an explicit inclusive surface range. The pre-step caller supplies the agent, full prompt, session prefix, and abort signal; implementations must forward that signal to summarization. The seam owns no pricing API: [`ctx.tokenMeter`](token-meter.md) directly owns estimation and replay, while `dsh-compact-basic` owns retention, event sequencing, routed summarization calls, and their configuration.
 
 Auto-compaction runs at serial `agent/pre-step`, before the step and request derivation, so it can replace surface nodes while keeping trace events outside the step. Region boundaries preserve tool-call/result pairing but do not preserve whole turns, allowing early closed steps of one oversized turn to compact. `dsh-compact-basic` owns the retention and failure details.
+
+The seam exports `toolPairingBalancedBefore(session, seq)` and `toolPairingBalancedAfter(session, seq)` for those edge checks. Both validate current surface membership and reject missing seqs and orphan results; the [package contract](../../packages/compact/compact/README.md#tool-pairing-boundaries) owns their cache semantics.

+# Spill Storage
+
+The spill storage seam — a [capability seam](../rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-08-tool-output-spill-files.md) that persists a tool's oversized text and returns a model-facing locator plus retrieval guidance, split across packages: interface ([dsh-spill](../../packages/spill/spill), `ctx.spillStore`), implementation ([dsh-spill-local](../../packages/spill/spill-local), private session-scoped files on the host filesystem), and consumer ([dsh-spill-policy](../../packages/spill/spill-policy), the `tools/post-execute` policy). Spill is **one optional capability**, not part of the agent-loop spine — so its vocabulary lives here, not in [core.md](core.md). Preview mechanics stay in [dsh-retention](../../packages/util/retention); this seam only saves the final text the policy hands it.
+
+Source: [`packages/spill/spill/src/types.ts`](../../packages/spill/spill/src/types.ts)
+
+## The save request
+
+`saveText` is the whole seam: persist `content` verbatim, return an opaque locator, a backend-supplied retrieval hint, and the exact byte count. The request carries the save-time storage namespace (`owner`), WHERE it came from (`source`, descriptive provenance for naming and inspection — not access control), and a `suggestedName` the backend may use as a naming hint (it is not a path).
+
+```ts type-equiv
+interface SaveTextSpill {
+  owner: SpillOwner
+  source: SpillSource
+  suggestedName: string
+  content: string
+}
+```
+
+```ts type-equiv
+interface SpillOwner {
+  sessionId: SessionId
+}
+```
+
+`SpillOwner.sessionId` is the save-time storage namespace. Forked sessions inherit existing spill locators from the seeded log; those artifacts are not copied or re-owned, and spills produced after the fork use the child session id. A retention-period cleanup may expire old locators with other old session artifacts; the spill seam does not define a per-session cleanup policy.
+
+```ts type-equiv
+interface SpillSource {
+  toolName: string
+  callId: CallId
+  label: string
+}
+```
+
+## The result
+
+```ts type-equiv
+interface SpillRef {
+  locator: SpillLocator
+  bytes: number
+  retrievalHint: string
+}
+```
+
+`SpillLocator` is a [branded](core.md#branded-ids) model-facing handle returned by the backend. The local backend renders it as a filesystem path; a remote or database backend can render a URI, key, or command token. Consumers treat it as opaque and render it with `retrievalHint` instead of assuming `read` is always the right retrieval mechanism.
+
+```ts type-equiv
+type SpillLocator = Branded<'SpillLocator'>
+```
+
+## The service
+
+`SpillStore` (`ctx.spillStore`, defined in [`packages/spill/spill/src/index.ts`](../../packages/spill/spill/src/index.ts)) is a one-method abstract service: `saveText(input) → Promise<SpillRef>`. It persists the FULL `content` and REJECTS on a real storage failure (permissions, ENOSPC, backend unavailable). The seam owns storage only: no retention policy, no tool-result replacement, no retrieval/search API.
+
+The local backend ([dsh-spill-local](../../packages/spill/spill-local)) writes under `<root>/session-<hash>/<random>-<safeName>` — a configured or lazily-created private (0700) root, a `sha256(sessionId)` session subdir, and an exclusive owner-only (`open(path, 'wx', 0o600)`) write so a planted symlink cannot redirect it. Its `locator` is the local path and its `retrievalHint` tells the model to use `read` or `grep` on that path. The policy consumer ([dsh-spill-policy](../../packages/spill/spill-policy)) replaces an over-`maxInlineBytes` plain-text final result with a retention-library head/tail preview plus the spill reference, best-effort: a save failure keeps the original inline result rather than turning a successful call into an `isError`.

+
+`baseline.kind === 'usage'` means the latest successful provider call has the same canonical request envelope and its total is no lower than that call's full heuristic anchor. `estimated` means no reusable conservative usage anchor exists, so the service priced the complete envelope and surface with its fixed heuristic. A later successful request replaces the earlier anchor; signed `surfaceDeltaTokens` preserves growth and shrinkage relative to a matching anchor. `totalTokens` remains request-and-response pressure, while `surfaceTokens` is the surface-only heuristic total and equals the sum of the node prices.

 The provider hands back decoded text: `readText` returns a whole regular text file, `streamText` streams the same text semantics for large files. Both own regular-file checks, bounded line/output handling is NOT theirs — line windowing, numbered-line rendering, and total-line accounting live in the executor (`dsh-tool-fs`), which reads through `ctx.fs` and renders the model-facing window. The provider owns UTF-8 decoding and binary/NUL rejection; it does not know about line windows or views.

 ### Two new top-level fields on `SessionEvent`
 
 Every `SessionEvent` gains two optional fields (structural metadata, like `seq`/`time`):
 
-- **`sourceEventSeqs?: number[]`** — seq numbers of events that are provenance sources (e.g., the `assistant/chunk` seqs that built an `assistant/message`, or the surface nodes shadowed by a compaction marker). Provenance is a core design principle; without it, the replace-range operation cannot be validated on replay.
+- **`sourceEventSeqs?: number[]`** — seq numbers of events that are provenance sources (e.g., the `assistant/chunk` seqs that built an `assistant/message`, or the surface nodes shadowed by a compaction marker). A present `[]` is valid only on `assistant/message` and records a known empty provider stream; omission there means legacy or otherwise unrecorded provenance. Other surface events require a non-empty list when the field is present. Provenance is a core design principle; without it, the replace-range operation cannot be validated on replay.
 - **`surfaceOp?: SurfaceOp`** — how this event entered the surface. Absent for non-surface events.

 Every surface-eligible event must carry `surfaceOp` or it would disappear from derived history. Typed `append` overloads enforce this for literal event types; runtime checks in `append` and the seed constructor cover widened unions and loaded logs. Invalid seeds are rejected rather than upgraded under the pre-release format policy.
 
 ## Alternatives considered
 
 - **Per-plugin `agent/request` wrapping** (the pre-surface pattern for history manipulation) — listener-ordering fragility, no durable record of what was changed, and every new manipulation forces another change to core `deriveMessages()`.
-- **Half-open `[start, endExclusive)` replace ranges** — rejected: the surface is a doubly-linked list whose ends are naturally named by node seqs, and single-node replacement (`start === end`) reads naturally with inclusive semantics.
+- **Half-open `[start, endExclusive)` replace ranges** — rejected: endpoints are named by surface event seqs, and single-entry replacement (`start === end`) reads naturally with inclusive semantics.
+- **Linked node objects plus a seq map** — rejected: production did not read predecessor links, the only successor use was the next array position, and replacement already required linear `indexOf` lookup. A single seq array preserves the same asymptotic behavior with one representation to validate.
 - **Full rebuild behind a dirty flag** instead of delta processing — O(N²) over a session's lifetime: every single-event append would rescan all prior events.

The seed constructor rejects a surface-eligible seed event missing its `surfaceOp` marker (see § Invariants).

 Composition, not inheritance. The coordinator is a concrete class the backend holds, not a base class the backend extends. The RFC's risk — "a coordinator must not make unusual backends fight an inheritance hierarchy" — is avoided: a backend exposes only the hooks; it cannot reach the coordinator's private orchestration state, and the public `SessionPersistence` service shape is unchanged, so a third-party backend MAY still implement the abstract service directly without the coordinator at all.
 
+The coordinator retires each live session from its `session/disposed` notification: it waits for that exact Session object's initialization, serializes a final drain, and then removes the owned state, buffer, and init entries. Failed drains retain their buffers for backend teardown to retry. Settled per-id chain tails remove themselves only when they are still the current tail, so a completion cannot erase a newer operation for the same id. Backend teardown unregisters the write-path listeners before awaiting all admitted retirements, remaining buffers, and chains, then closes the backend.

This is correct because the scrub's job is narrow: stop the harness's *ambient* `process.env` credentials from leaking into a spawned command. A caller that explicitly sets a var has named a value it already holds (not the ambient secret), so the scrub is not a constraint on it. `childEnv(extra?)` layers `scrub(process.env)` → `ENV_OVERRIDES` (the model-friendly `TERM=dumb` etc.) → `extra`, last-wins.
+2. **`env` merges AFTER the credential scrub, so an explicit caller entry wins even on a credential-shaped name.** The later managed-namespace decision reserves `DSH_*`: ambient entries are removed, ordinary `env` cannot set them, and trusted `dshEnv` merges last. The complete order is `scrub(process.env, including DSH_*)` → `ENV_OVERRIDES` → ordinary `env` → `dshEnv`.
 
 3. **`stdin`/`env` are required-absent-OK (plain optional) on the resolved spec, NOT required-but-nullable like `owner`.** `owner` is required-but-nullable because a *silently* missing owner yields an unowned, cross-session-readable task — a security footgun that a visible `undefined` guards against. `stdin`/`env` have no such hazard: a missing one means "no stdin / no extra env", which is the safe, ordinary case (every model-driven call). So they stay plain optionals, matching `signal`.

-`EpochHeader` records the request's non-history state: call config, rendered system prompt, tool schemas, and session prefix, with empty values canonicalized to absence. `request/header` writes a full initial, resume, or fallback snapshot. `request/header-delta` encodes system changes by common-prefix/suffix line trim, tools by name-keyed additions/removals/changes, and config or prefix by full replacement. `foldRequestHeader`, `diffHeader`, and `applyHeaderDelta` are the pure codec. Each loop instance writes a snapshot on its first request to anchor process boundaries. Deltas are only an optimization: the writer verifies round-trip equality and falls back to a full snapshot for unrepresentable changes such as pure tool reordering.
+`EpochHeader` records the request's non-history state: call config, rendered system prompt, tool schemas, and session prefix, with empty values canonicalized to absence. `request/header` always writes a full snapshot: the first loop instance uses reason `initial`, later instances use `resume`, and an in-instance change uses `change`. `foldRequestHeader` selects the latest snapshot. Legacy `request/header-delta` events and the removed `fallback` reason are rejected when appended or loaded.
 
 Each step rebuilds prompt assembly. On the instance's first step, `agent/session-prefix` extends a frozen empty seed with request-only opener messages; the result is frozen and cached for that loop instance. `agent/pre-step` then receives the composed prefix before messages are snapshotted immediately ahead of `step/start`. The first call config starts from explicit `AgentOptions`, preserving fork overrides and resume reconfiguration; later calls start from the folded header. `agent/request` may replace only that frozen config seed, while model-visible content enters through logged channels. The loop records the owed header event—the prefix's only durable home—builds `GenerateOptions` from prefix, snapshot, and header, and deep-freezes it while leaving `AbortSignal` live. Per-instance state is only the cached prefix and whether its anchoring snapshot has been written.
 
-**`step/start` is the reconstruction boundary.** A step derives messages from events before that sequence. Injection after the snapshot joins the next request, and reentrant appends are rejected during event publication. `agent/pre-step` is the seam for content needed by the current request.

Loop requests are identified by their frozen shape and session id; direct one-shots are excluded. Correctness depends on sequence-bounded reconstruction rather than listener order.

Route session-frozen openers to the prefix and change notices to the history channels; a per-step request-only tail slot was deliberately dropped (no consumer, and a durable append covers every current update pattern).
-- What still costs full price at the provider is inherent and logged: compaction (its `compact/*` events and replace node), a real prompt/tool change (`request/header-delta`), a config switch (ditto), a process boundary with drift (`'resume'` snapshot differing from its predecessor). The provider's own reasoning-content exclusion is managed server-side.

+# RFC: Tool result retention library
+
+Status: implemented
+
+## Problem
+
+Several model-facing tools already bound the amount of context they return, but each one owns a different local mechanism and vocabulary: bash keeps a tail plus spill files, web search caps source lists, web fetch caps body content, and `glob` / `grep` discovery needs an inline first page while keeping exact omission metadata for the full result set. A single `truncate(text)` helper cannot cover those cases: item tools need item counts and grouping outside the primitive, while text tools need byte budgets and UTF-8-safe head/tail cuts.
+
+The shared abstraction the tools need is **retention**, not generic collection. A caller feeds items or text chunks into a bounded object and later receives the retained content plus exact omission metadata. Tool-specific code still owns business semantics: file grouping, line numbering, exit codes, provider error states, spill files, and model-facing prose. The common library owns only the mechanical question "what did we keep, and what did we omit?"
+
+## Decision
+
+`@deepseek-ai/dsh-retention` lives under `packages/util/` (peer to `dsh-brand` and `dsh-timeout`) and owns bounded model-facing output. It is a library of pure classes and functions, **not** a Cordis service or plugin: it takes no `ctx`, registers nothing, holds no cross-call state, and emits no events. Tool packages import it directly when they need bounded output.
+
+The library has two independent retainers:
+
+- `ItemRetainer<T>` handles ordered logical units such as paths, grep matches, or search sources. It supports `head` retention only in v1, while keeping the retainer shape open to additional retention strategies later.
+- `TextRetainer` handles byte-oriented text streams such as bash stdout/stderr or web response bodies. It supports `head`, `tail`, and `headTail` retention while preserving UTF-8 boundaries at `finish()`.
+
+Both retainers return a small `PushDecision` after each `push()` so callers can tell whether that unit/chunk was fully retained and whether the accumulated result is now truncated. Omission counts are exact because callers keep feeding every observed item/chunk.
+
+```ts ignore-check
+/**
+ * How much content the retainer omitted.
+ *
+ * `unknown` is reserved for callers that omit without a count; the retainers
+ * themselves return `none` or `exact`.
+ */
+type Omitted =
+  | { kind: 'none' }
+  | { kind: 'exact'; count: number }
+  | { kind: 'unknown' }
+
+interface PushDecision {
+  kept: boolean
+  truncated: boolean
+}
+
+/**
+ * Final result for ordered logical units.
+ */
+interface RetainedItems<T> {
+  items: T[]
+  truncated: boolean
+  seen: number
+  kept: number
+  omitted: Omitted
+}
+
+/**
+ * Final result for text streams.
+ *
+ * The returned `text` is safe to send to a formatter; the retainer does not add
+ * tool-specific headers, exit markers, XML tags, or recovery instructions.
+ */
+interface RetainedText {
+  text: string
+  truncated: boolean
+  omittedBytes: Omitted
+}
+```
+
+### Strategies
+
+Item retention supports a head window. Text retention supports head, tail, and headTail byte windows.
+
+```ts ignore-check
+type ItemRetentionStrategy =
+  | {
+      /** Keep the first `maxItems` units. Use for `glob`, `grep`, and web sources. */
+      kind: 'head'
+      maxItems: number
+    }
+
+type TextRetentionStrategy =
+  | {
+      /** Keep the first `maxBytes` bytes. */
+      kind: 'head'
+      maxBytes: number
+    }
+  | {
+      /** Keep the final `maxBytes` bytes. Requires reading to the end. */
+      kind: 'tail'
+      maxBytes: number
+    }
+  | {
+      /** Keep a stable prefix and suffix, omitting the middle. Requires reading to the end. */
+      kind: 'headTail'
+      headBytes: number
+      tailBytes: number
+    }
+```
+
+### Tool mapping
+
+`read` is intentionally outside the v1 retention library. Its `read-render` helper owns a file-specific pagination contract: `offset` / `limit`, line numbers, `totalLines`, offset-out-of-range errors, per-line preview truncation, and a selected-output byte cap that can stop scanning mid-window. That is a line-window renderer, not a generic retention primitive. It may share future neutral notice helpers, but it should not pass its already-selected window through `ItemRetainer`.
+
+`FsGlobEntry` and `FlatGrepMatch` below are the intended discovery-tool item shapes, not existing retention-library exports. `FsGlobEntry` is one backend-derived path, and `FlatGrepMatch` is one ungrouped grep match before the backend groups retained matches by file.
+
+`glob` uses `ItemRetainer<FsGlobEntry>` with `{ kind: 'head', maxItems: globMaxResults }` after collecting the full sorted path list. The tool keeps the retained first page inline and may save the full list through the spill seam. Path mapping, skipped candidates, and `incomplete` stay outside the retainer.
+
+`grep` uses `ItemRetainer<FlatGrepMatch>` with `{ kind: 'head', maxItems: grepMaxMatches }` before grouping. The executor parses ripgrep output, maps paths, applies per-line preview truncation, and pushes flat matches. After `finish()`, the tool groups retained matches by file and can save the full match list through the spill seam when the inline result is capped. Grouping is not part of the retainer because the cap is total matches, not files; per-match preview truncation and `incomplete` are also separate from result-level retention.
+
+`bash` can use `TextRetainer` with `tail` or `headTail` and reads to process completion. The bash executor still owns spill files, exit status, signal, timeout, and background-task behavior; the retention helper only replaces ad hoc in-memory head/tail accounting where that behavior is desired. Long-running task ownership remains orthogonal to the [generic long-running tool runtime](2026-06-20-generic-long-running-tool-runtime.md).
+
+`web_fetch` can use `TextRetainer` with `head` or `headTail`, or keep provider-owned body caps when the provider must read and decode internally. Either way, the fetch result's `truncated` remains a provider/tool fact, and the library only supplies retained text and omission metadata.
+
+`web_search` can use `ItemRetainer<WebSearchSource>` with `head`. Current providers often return an array, so this is post-hoc but still standardizes notices.
+
+### Notices
+
+The library exposes a neutral notice shape and a tiny formatter hook, but tools provide the user-facing words. A grep footer says "Narrow the pattern, path, or include"; a web fetch footer says "Fetch a more specific URL or section"; bash may point to a spill file. The retainer cannot know those recovery actions.
+
+```ts ignore-check
+interface RetentionNotice {
+  scope: string
+  strategy: 'head' | 'tail' | 'headTail'
+  unit: 'items' | 'bytes' | 'chars' | 'lines'
+  limit: number | { head: number; tail: number }
+  kept: number
+  omitted: Omitted
+}
+
+const formatGrepNotice = (notice: RetentionNotice): string =>
+  formatRetentionNotice(
+    notice,
+    ({ kept }) => `Results capped at ${kept}. Narrow the pattern, path, or include to see more.`,
+  )
+```
+
+The formatter hook is deliberately small: a tool turns a `RetentionNotice` into its own footer text. The helper may standardize omission wording, but it does not own recovery guidance.
+
+`truncated` means the retainer omitted otherwise-available content because of a budget. It does not mean the upstream was incomplete. Tools keep separate fields for permission failures, skipped binary files, provider partial failures, unreadable candidates, invalid UTF-8, and any other "could not inspect" condition.
+
+## Consequences
+
+**What shipped.** `@deepseek-ai/dsh-retention` exports `ItemRetainer`, `TextRetainer`, the result types (`RetainedItems`, `RetainedText`), the strategy types (`ItemRetentionStrategy`, `TextRetentionStrategy`), `Omitted`, `PushDecision`, `RetentionNotice`, and the neutral notice helpers `describeOmitted` / `formatRetentionNotice` — with no dependency on Cordis or any tool package. Unit tests cover item-head retention with exact omission counts, text-head retention, text-tail retention, head-tail byte retention, zero budgets, UTF-8 boundary handling (2-, 3-, and 4-byte codepoints and invalid lead bytes at each cut), and unknown omission wording.
+
+**What is documented but not yet migrated.** `glob`, `grep`, `bash`, `web_fetch`, and `web_search` have their mappings documented in the [package README](../../../../packages/util/retention/README.md), but not every tool has been migrated onto the library in this change; migration is deliberately separate follow-up work. `read` is documented as intentionally out of scope: its `read-render` line-window contract (`offset`/`limit`, `totalLines`, offset-range errors, per-line preview truncation, a byte cap over the selected window) is not generic retention, and one `Omitted` count cannot represent both sides of a line window.
+
+**Boundaries the library holds.** `truncated` means the retainer omitted otherwise-available content because of a budget; it never means the upstream was incomplete. Tool-specific states — `incomplete`, permission failures, provider partial failures, binary skips, bash spill-path recovery, invalid UTF-8 — stay in tool-domain fields, outside the retainer. When a future change migrates a tool, that package's README and tests must prove the model-facing result text is unchanged except for deliberate notice wording.
+
+**Tradeoffs accepted.** The v1 surface deliberately supports only item `head` retention and text `head` / `tail` / `headTail`; windows, grouped budgets, sort-aware caps, and upstream-stop control wait until a second consumer proves the need. Text retention counts bytes for process/body safety, leaving character- and line-level preview budgets as separate tool-owned concerns.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Post-hoc `truncate(text)` only.** Rejected: it matches Codex's history/tool-output truncation use case but loses item counts, grouping boundaries, UTF-8-safe byte windows, and exact omission metadata.
+
+**One generic `Collector<T>` with pluggable callbacks.** Rejected for v1: it hides the two important resource modes. Logical item retention counts items; text retention counts bytes and preserves UTF-8 boundaries. Separate `ItemRetainer` and `TextRetainer` names make that difference explicit while keeping the API small.
+
+**Put `read` windowing behind `ItemRetainer`.** Rejected for v1: `read` is the only current window consumer, and its semantics are file pagination rather than generic retention. A single `Omitted` count cannot represent both sides of a line window, and `read` also carries `totalLines`, offset-range errors, per-line preview truncation, and a byte cap over selected output. Keeping `read-render` tool-owned avoids growing the shared library around one special case.
+
+**Make truncation part of `ToolExecutionResult`.** Rejected: the tool registry would have to understand tool-specific recovery guidance, grouping, line numbering, exit status, and provider semantics. Retention is a library used before a tool returns `ContentBlock[]`; the model-facing result remains tool-owned.
+
+**Expose limits in every model-facing tool schema.** Rejected as the default: Claude Code's grep exposes `head_limit` / `offset`, but this harness keeps routine budgets as deployment config unless the model genuinely needs pagination control. A future read-like continuation field can be added per tool; it does not belong in the shared retention primitive.

+# RFC: Tool output spill policy
+
+Status: implemented
+
+## Problem
+
+Tool outputs need bounded model-facing previews, but some oversized results are still useful later. A fetched page body or a verbose tool response should not consume the next model request in full, but the model should be able to inspect the complete formatted result later with existing file-reading tools.
+
+Before this change the behavior was uneven. `dsh-bash-local` already writes complete stdout/stderr streams to private temp spill files when its in-memory tail overflows, but ordinary text tool results were returned inline unless the tool hand-rolled its own cap. The [tool result retention library](./2026-07-06-tool-result-retention-library.md) owns preview mechanics, but it does not own storage or an execution-pipeline policy that applies those mechanics to final tool results.
+
+The shape matches the timeout policy design: a tool author normally returns the text result, and a policy plugin enforces the deployment's default context budget. Tool-specific early spill remains possible later for outputs that do not survive to the final `ToolExecutionResult`; the first cut proves the default final-result path.
+
+## Decision
+
+A thin spill storage seam plus a default spill policy plugin, in a new `packages/spill/` group:
+
+| Package | Role |
+|---|---|
+| `@deepseek-ai/dsh-spill` | Interface: `ctx.spillStore`, vocabulary types, no storage implementation. |
+| `@deepseek-ai/dsh-spill-local` | Local backend: private, session-scoped file storage on the host filesystem. |
+| `@deepseek-ai/dsh-spill-policy` | Tool-result policy plugin: wraps final text results after dispatch and replaces oversized results with a retained preview plus a spill locator. |
+
+There is no dedicated model-facing consumer package. The consumer is the existing `ctx.tools` execution pipeline: `dsh-spill-policy` consumes final tool results through the `tools/post-execute` waterfall, and the model follows the backend-supplied retrieval hint for the returned locator.
+
+### Spill seam
+
+The storage seam is minimal: save text and return a locator plus retrieval hint.
+
+```ts ignore-check
+interface SpillStore {
+  saveText(input: SaveTextSpill): Promise<SpillRef>
+}
+
+interface SpillSource {
+  toolName: string
+  callId: CallId
+  label: string
+}
+
+interface SaveTextSpill {
+  owner: { sessionId: SessionId }
+  source: SpillSource
+  suggestedName: string
+  content: string
+}
+
+type SpillLocator = Branded<'SpillLocator'>
+
+interface SpillRef {
+  locator: SpillLocator
+  bytes: number
+  retrievalHint: string
+}
+```
+
+`SpillLocator` is a [branded](../../../../packages/util/brand) model-facing handle returned by the backend. The local backend renders it as a filesystem path; a remote or database backend can render a URI, key, or command token. Consumers treat it as opaque and render it with `retrievalHint` instead of assuming `read` is always the right retrieval mechanism. `SpillOwner.sessionId` is the save-time storage namespace: forked sessions inherit existing spill locators from the seeded log without copying or re-owning them, and new spills after the fork use the child session id. A retention-period cleanup may expire old locators with other old session artifacts; the spill seam does not define a per-session cleanup policy.
+
+`dsh-spill-local` owns only storage details: session-scoped directory selection, safe names, path-traversal protection, the write, and returning `{ locator, bytes, retrievalHint }`. It does not own retention policy, tool-result replacement, search, or file inspection. Files land at `<root>/session-<hash>/<random>-<safeName>`, where `root` is a configured path or a lazily-created private (0700) per-process temp dir, the session subdir is a short `sha256(sessionId)` prefix, and the leaf is a random hex prefix plus the caller's `suggestedName` sanitized to one path segment (mirrors the JSONL backend's `encodeSegment`). The write is `open(path, 'wx', 0o600)` — exclusive and owner-only, so a planted symlink cannot redirect it. The locator is the path, and the retrieval hint tells the model it can use `read` or `grep` on that path.
+
+### Spill policy
+
+`dsh-spill-policy` is a `tools/post-execute` result transformer with one configuration knob:
+
+```ts ignore-check
+interface Config {
+  /** Omitted means no automatic spill policy. Present means apply to oversized plain text tool results. */
+  maxInlineBytes?: number
+}
+```
+
+When `maxInlineBytes` is omitted the plugin registers nothing (a true no-op). When set, it applies a default policy to final plain-text tool results:
+
+1. Let the tool run normally, delegating via `next()` so a downstream listener settles the result first.
+2. Flatten the accepted final `ContentBlock[]` only when it is entirely plain text; a result with any non-text block is left untouched.
+3. If its UTF-8 byte size is at or below `maxInlineBytes`, leave it unchanged.
+4. If it is larger, call `ctx.spillStore.saveText()` with the full final text.
+5. Replace the model-facing result with a retained head/tail preview plus the spill reference.
+
+The preview is an implementation default owned by the policy: a head/tail split of `maxInlineBytes` via the retention library's `TextRetainer`. Future config can expose preview sizing only after a second deployment needs it.
+
+The replacement text is intentionally generic because the policy only knows the final formatted tool result, not the tool's internal resource:
+
+```text
+<retained preview>
+
+(Omitted N bytes. Full formatted result stored at: /.../session-.../....txt. Use read with offset/limit, or grep this path to search within it.)
+```
+
+If `ctx.spillStore.saveText()` fails (permissions, ENOSPC, backend unavailable), or the call has no session owner, or no backend is loaded, the plugin logs the reason and returns the original result unchanged. Spill failure never turns a successful tool call into an `isError` result or hides the inline result.
+
+The policy skips `read` to avoid a circular `read -> spill file -> read again` loop. Additional opt-out configuration is deferred until a real second tool needs it.
+
+## Showcase: web_fetch
+
+`web_fetch` is the first showcase because it returns a naturally large text result and needs no tool-specific spill code. The tool is ordinary:
+
+```ts ignore-check
+ctx.tools.register(defineTool({
+  name: 'web_fetch',
+  async execute(args, exec) {
+    const result = await ctx.web.fetch({ url: args.url }, exec.signal ? { signal: exec.signal } : undefined)
+    return [{ type: 'text', text: formatFetchOutput(result) }]
+  },
+}))
+```
+
+With `dsh-spill-policy` configured, a large formatted fetch result is automatically retained and spilled. A deployment demonstrates the behavior by setting the provider resource cap higher than the policy cap:
+
+```yaml
+- id: web-fetch-local
+  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-web-fetch-local'
+  config:
+    maxBodyChars: 500000
+
+- id: spill-local
+  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-spill-local'
+
+- id: spill-policy
+  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-spill-policy'
+  config:
+    maxInlineBytes: 50000
+```
+
+This separation is important. `web-fetch-local` still owns resource caps (`maxResponseBytes`, `maxBodyChars`) to protect network, memory, and decoding work. `spill-policy` owns only the model-facing context cap after the result already exists. If the provider already returned `truncated: true`, the spill file contains the full formatted result the tool returned, not the full original webpage; the policy does not claim otherwise.
+
+## Relationship to retention and early spill
+
+Retention is separate from spill storage:
+
+- `@deepseek-ai/dsh-retention` owns preview mechanics (`TextRetainer`, `ItemRetainer`, and omitted metadata).
+- `@deepseek-ai/dsh-spill` owns saving final text and returning a locator plus retrieval hint.
+- `@deepseek-ai/dsh-spill-policy` applies the default final-result policy in the tool pipeline, composing the two.
+
+The final-result policy cannot replace tool-owned early spill. Some useful content is not present in final `ToolExecutionResult.content`:
+
+- `bash` final output is already a tail plus a temp spill path; the complete stdout/stderr streams live in executor files.
+- `subagent` final output is the child final answer, not the child rollout.
+- Future tools may produce runtime artifacts that are never represented by their final `ToolExecutionResult.content`.
+
+Those cases can consume `ctx.spillStore` directly in later work. They are not part of the first showcase.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- No new model-facing `artifact_read` or `artifact_search` tool in v1.
+- No per-tool retention configuration in v1.
+- No model-facing timeout/truncation arguments.
+- No migration of `read` output into spill files.
+- No replacement for provider/resource caps such as `web-fetch-local.maxBodyChars`.
+- No bash temp-file normalization or subagent rollout capture in the first cut.
+
+## Deferred
+
+- `saveFile()` / `linkOrCopy` for existing executor spill files, needed for bash normalization.
+- Tool-owned spill for subagent rollouts (`await run.result`, read in-process child session before `run.dispose()`, save JSONL).
+- Per-tool opt-out or per-tool policy declarations if the built-in `read` skip is insufficient.
+- Remote or database storage backends for ACP or remote environments where a local path is not meaningful.
+- Cleanup and retention policy for old spill files, likely tied to session cleanup.
+
+## Testing
+
+- `dsh-spill` unit tests pin the seam contract: registration as `ctx.spillStore`, one-implementation-per-context, and disposal release.
+- `dsh-spill-local` unit tests cover `saveText`, `encodeSegment` sanitization (separators/tilde/whole-segment dots/empty), the session-hash directory, owner-only permissions, distinct paths per save, the configured/private root, and a storage-failure rejection.
+- `dsh-spill-policy` unit tests drive real tools through `ctx.tools.execute`: disabled-mode no-op, oversized-text replacement, small/non-text passthrough, `read` skip, best-effort fallback (save failure / no backend / no owner), and downstream-composition (bounding a replaced result, preserving `additionalContexts`).
+- `dsh-tool-web` integration drives `web_fetch` through `ctx.tools.execute` with the real `spill-local` backend + policy, proving the model-facing text changes only by the deliberate spill notice while the spill file holds the full formatted result.
+- The `coding-agent` example loads `spill-local` + `spill-policy`, so its keyless Loader smoke exercises the real load path (the namespace-plugin export shape + `inject`).
+
+## Consequences
+
+The default policy only sees final formatted text. It cannot preserve provider-internal content that was already capped or runtime artifacts that were never part of the result. This is acceptable for the first cut because the showcase is final-result spill, not early spill; tool-owned early spill remains deferred work.
+
+Returning real paths from the local backend keeps v1 simple and matches proven agent-tool behavior, while the seam itself only promises an opaque locator plus retrieval hint so remote backends can return non-file locators.
+
+The local-backend value proposition depends on the existing `read`/`grep` tools being able to inspect the returned local path, even when the spill directory is outside the session cwd. That holds today because the filesystem policy records observations and write guards but does not confine reads to the workspace. A future workspace-confinement policy must either allow local spill paths explicitly or use a non-file spill backend whose retrieval hint points at a supported reader.
+
+**Snapshot gap.** No ACP snapshot scenario covers the transcript-visible `web_fetch` spill notice yet. The ACP snapshot harness replays keyless and cannot hit the live web, and a `web_fetch` spill requires a real over-cap HTTP body; a deterministic scenario would need a seeded loopback fetch target the replay tree does not currently wire (the examples do not load `tool-web` at all). The behavior is covered instead by the `dsh-tool-web` integration test against a loopback server. Closing the gap is follow-up work: wire `tool-web` + a seeded fetch target into the ACP example, then record a `web-fetch-spill` scenario.
+
+The policy can become too large if it starts owning tool-specific semantics. It stays narrow: plain-text final results only. Tool-owned early spill remains future work.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Require each tool to opt in with a retention declaration.** Rejected for v1: the goal is a default behavior similar to Claude Code's generic tool-result persistence. A single `maxInlineBytes` deployment knob is enough to prove the shape.
+
+**Make `tool-results` a broad tool-result platform.** Rejected: a broad package name invites retention policy, result replacement, preview wording, search, and early spill into one seam. The shared storage part is smaller: save text and return a locator plus retrieval hint.
+
+**Use `ctx.fs.writeText` or the model-facing `write` tool.** Rejected: workspace filesystem writes carry project-file semantics, write/edit policy, observation state, and user-facing side effects. Spill files are runtime artifacts, not model-authored workspace edits. The existing `read` tool may inspect them later, but creation belongs to the runtime spill seam.
+
+**Let `web-fetch-local` fetch without caps and rely on spill-policy.** Rejected: spill-policy runs after the final tool result exists and cannot protect network, memory, or decoding resources. Provider resource caps stay mandatory.
+
+**Merge retention into spill.** Rejected: retention and spill have different responsibilities. `TextRetainer`/`ItemRetainer` decide what preview is kept and what was omitted; spill storage only saves the final text the policy asks it to save.

+# RFC: Provider-routed LLM adapters and a generic pi-ai backend
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-14-provider-routed-llm-adapters.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+`dsh-llm` registered adapters by exact model name. A plugin supplied a model list at Cordis startup, `LlmService` stored one adapter per listed string, and `GenerateOptions.model` selected the adapter and the provider model at once. This worked while both shipping adapters targeted the same two DeepSeek models, but it conflated two independent decisions: which upstream provider owns a request, and which model that provider should run.
+
+The conflation prevents a provider gateway from serving an open-ended model catalog. OpenRouter, for example, is one provider with many model ids, while a private OpenAI-compatible endpoint may add models without changing the Harness plugin tree. Every newly selected model currently needs to have been registered during plugin startup. The same model id can also exist at multiple providers, so model-only registration cannot state which provider the caller intended.
+
+`dsh-llm-pi-ai` exposed none of pi-ai's provider abstraction. It constructed an inline DeepSeek `openai-completions` model, applied DeepSeek-specific payload patches, and stamped every replayed assistant message as DeepSeek. pi-ai itself has a provider/model catalog, selects APIs such as `openai-responses`, `anthropic-messages`, and `google-generative-ai`, and preserves provider-specific response ids and reasoning/tool signatures for later turns. The Harness conversion dropped that provenance, so simply replacing the inline model with a catalog lookup would have made same-model replay and cross-provider handoff incomplete.
+
+The adapter configuration also assumes one DeepSeek API key and endpoint. A generic backend needs independent credentials and endpoint overrides per provider while leaving AWS, Google ADC, OAuth, and other ambient authentication mechanisms to pi-ai.
+
+## Decision
+
+### Provider is the adapter registration key
+
+`GenerateOptions` and `LlmCallConfig` carry `provider: string` beside `model: string`; `AgentOptions` carries the corresponding optional creation field. A loop request is valid only after both values are non-empty, and both values are part of the logged request header. `agent/request` may return a replacement pair on any step, so a session can switch providers and models without changing the Cordis plugin lifecycle.
+
+`LlmService` registers and resolves adapters by provider. `registerAdapter(providers, adapter)` checks the entire provider list before mutating the registry, rejects a duplicate with `DUPLICATE_ADAPTER`, and disposes the whole registration as one effect. Model ids are not registration keys; the selected adapter still validates or forwards them. The later [LLM catalog and ACP selection RFC](2026-07-15-llm-model-catalog-and-acp-selection.md) added advisory `listProviders()` / `listModels()` discovery without turning model membership into request validation.
+
+A provider has exactly one adapter owner in a Cordis context. `dsh-llm-deepseek` registers `deepseek`; `dsh-llm-pi-ai` may also register `deepseek`, but loading both owners is a configuration error rather than an ordering rule or fallback. A deployment that wants the hand-rolled DeepSeek implementation excludes `deepseek` from the pi-ai profiles. A deployment that wants pi-ai's DeepSeek implementation does not mount `dsh-llm-deepseek`.
+
+`dsh-llm-deepseek` removes its model registration list and accepts any model string routed through provider `deepseek`. Its request serialization, `/chat/completions` endpoint, thinking options, SSE parsing, and error behavior remain unchanged; `options.model` is still sent verbatim.
+
+### Explicit pi-ai provider profiles
+
+`dsh-llm-pi-ai` takes one non-empty list of provider profiles. Provider names must be unique within the list and present in pi-ai's `getProviders()` result. Each profile contains the provider name plus optional `apiKey`, `baseURL`, headers, reasoning level and budgets, cache retention, transport, timeouts, and retry settings. Credentials are never global: an explicit key applies only to its profile, while an absent key lets pi-ai resolve its standard environment variable, OAuth token, AWS credential chain, Google ADC, or other provider-native ambient authentication. An explicitly empty key is invalid configuration rather than an environment fallback.
+
+The plugin registers all configured provider names against one `PiAiAdapter` in one all-or-nothing call. A request uses its provider to select the matching profile and finds its model in `getModels(provider)` to obtain the catalog descriptor. An unknown provider fails at plugin load; an unknown model fails before network I/O with `UNKNOWN_MODEL`. The catalog object is never mutated. When a profile supplies `baseURL`, the adapter clones the selected descriptor and overrides only `baseUrl`, so a private endpoint can retain pi-ai's API, capabilities, compatibility flags, context limits, and reasoning map. The private endpoint must implement the selected provider's protocol, and the model id must still exist in the installed pi-ai catalog.
+
+The adapter calls pi-ai's `streamSimple()` so each catalog model chooses its registered API implementation, including OpenAI Responses instead of Chat Completions where the descriptor says `openai-responses`. Harness temperature, maximum tokens, signal, session id, and the profile's common stream options flow through directly. Profile headers merge with the mandatory Harness attribution headers, with Harness attribution winning its reserved names. The adapter no longer maintains DeepSeek-specific payload rewrites or a provider-protocol matrix.
+
+pi-ai's common stream options do not expose stop sequences. `dsh-llm-pi-ai` rejects a defined Harness `stop` option with `UNSUPPORTED_OPTION` rather than silently ignoring it or growing a second provider-specific payload implementation. `dsh-llm-deepseek` continues to support `stop` through its native request serializer.
+
+### Durable assistant provenance and replay state
+
+Assistant messages carry provider-neutral provenance containing the request's `provider` and `model`, plus an optional JSON-serializable adapter replay state. A successful `assistant/message` session event records this provenance and `deriveMessages()` returns it with the assistant message. User, system, context, and tool-result messages carry no assistant provenance. The provider/model fields are authoritative loop data; an adapter owns only its opaque replay-state payload.
+
+A terminal successful `finish` chunk may carry replay state, and `BlockAssembler` retains it alongside usage and finish reason. The loop attaches it to the assistant provenance only when the post-`agent/step-result` content is structurally equal to the assembled provider output. A listener that rewrites content keeps the provider/model provenance but loses the now-stale replay state. Error and aborted responses do not produce a normal assistant message and therefore do not enter future model history.
+
+The pi-ai replay state is a versioned, minimal projection of its successful `AssistantMessage`: source API/provider/model, response id/model, stop reason, and index-aligned text, thinking, and tool-call signatures. It does not duplicate text or tool arguments already carried by Harness content blocks, and it omits diagnostics, timestamps, usage, and errors. On a later request, `LlmService` gives replay state to the target adapter only when the historical provider and target provider are currently owned by the same adapter instance. That adapter combines the logged Harness content with replay state when it can restore the historical response, and owns any required cross-model or cross-provider conversion. An adapter receiving replay state with an unknown version or mismatched block shape fails explicitly; a different adapter receives only provider-neutral content and provenance.
+
+This state is model-visible replay input and therefore follows the existing [reconstructable-request rule](../../implemented/architecture/2026-07-05-reconstructable-requests.md): it is present in both the terminal `finish` chunk and the assembled `assistant/message` provenance that drives derivation. Resume and fork preserve it verbatim. Compaction that shadows the assistant message also removes its replay state from the active surface; the summary is ordinary provider-neutral content.
+
+### Propagate the target through every request producer
+
+Every model-selection surface carries provider and model together: declarative agents, ACP and stdio app config, the JSON-RPC initialize request, subagent overrides and inheritance, workflow child overrides, and direct compaction summarization. Subagents inherit both fields from their parent before applying request overrides. The system-prompt variable set gains `provider` beside `model`.
+
+Compaction configuration gains `summarizationProvider` beside `summarizationModel`. Both are empty to inherit, or both are non-empty to select an explicit target; a half-configured pair fails load. Inheritance uses the last logged request target when one exists and falls back to the agent's creation options. `compact/summary` records both fields with the existing model-call envelope.
+
+The JSON-RPC runtime receives provider and model explicitly. Its convenience fallback mounts `dsh-llm-deepseek` only for provider `deepseek` when that provider has no registered owner; other missing providers fail without guessing an adapter.
+
+The on-disk session format remains the pre-release pinned version `0`, with no compatibility promise. Seed/load validation rejects request headers lacking provider and assistant messages lacking required provenance instead of accepting an old shape that can no longer reconstruct the request.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Keep model names as registry keys and add wildcard adapters.** A wildcard introduces fallback ordering between exact registrations and catch-all plugins, makes duplicate ownership dependent on listener order, and still cannot distinguish the same model id at two providers without another convention.
+
+**Encode provider and model into one string.** Values such as OpenRouter's `openai/gpt-*` already contain provider-like prefixes and slashes. A delimiter convention would leak routing syntax into every model selector and require escaping rules; two explicit fields are unambiguous and independently loggable.
+
+**Add `backend + provider + model`.** A backend key would allow `dsh-llm-deepseek` and pi-ai's DeepSeek implementation to coexist and switch per request. The accepted deployment rule is instead one adapter owner per provider: implementations of the same upstream are alternatives selected by plugin composition. A third routing dimension would burden every request and configuration for a capability with no current consumer.
+
+**Let `dsh-llm-pi-ai` automatically register every pi-ai provider.** This would claim ambient credentials and provider names the deployment never intended to expose, and would conflict with native adapters such as `dsh-llm-deepseek`. Explicit profiles make capability and credential scope reviewable.
+
+**Mount one pi-ai plugin instance per provider.** Separate instances isolate config but repeat plugin declarations and cannot make profile registration atomic. One adapter already receives provider on every request, so a validated profile map is the smaller lifecycle surface.
+
+**Accept arbitrary inline pi-ai model descriptors.** This would support catalog-external private model ids, but it exposes pi-ai's model and compatibility schema as Harness configuration and makes the adapter responsible for validating protocol-specific combinations. The first version supports custom endpoints by overriding `baseURL` on catalog models; custom descriptors require a separate decision after a real catalog-external deployment is identified.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Provider names are deployment-wide route ownership keys: two providers may use the same model string, but mounting two adapters for one provider fails at load instead of creating fallback order.
+- Model selection no longer changes the Cordis plugin graph. Catalog-backed adapters can accept any installed catalog model selected after startup, while the native DeepSeek adapter forwards arbitrary DeepSeek model ids.
+- A custom `baseURL` preserves the selected catalog model's protocol and capabilities; it does not make catalog-external model ids valid. Private endpoints must implement that catalog entry's protocol.
+- pi-ai credentials and transport knobs are scoped per provider profile. An omitted key delegates to pi-ai ambient authentication, while an explicitly empty key is invalid.
+- `dsh-llm-pi-ai` rejects stop sequences because pi-ai's common stream API cannot express them; the native DeepSeek adapter retains its stop support.
+- Replay state is portable only within the adapter instance that owns both the historical and target providers. Cross-provider and cross-model restoration is an adapter responsibility, and another adapter receives provider-neutral history without the opaque state.
+- Current pre-release session JSONL requires provider/model request headers and assistant provenance. Older shapes remain version `0` but are rejected rather than migrated.
+
+## Testing
+
+- Unit coverage exercises registry conflicts, request reconstruction, session validation, profile resolution, option forwarding, native API selection including OpenAI Responses, conversion, replay validation, error mapping, cancellation, content rewrites, and same-instance versus different-instance replay dispatch.
+- Keyless loop/session tests and ACP snapshots exercise durable provider/model metadata, resume and fork propagation, workflow/subagent overrides, and unchanged user-visible transcripts; the key-gated DeepSeek e2e retains real provider streaming and tool follow-up coverage.
+- Public JSDoc, package READMEs, architecture and core-data-structure docs, generated catalogs, examples, session fixtures, and Python SDK pairs use provider/model targets consistently and are checked by the repository documentation and type-equivalence gates.
+
+## Risks
+
+This is a repo-wide pre-release API break: model-only request construction, adapter registration, app protocols, fixtures, and persisted version-0 event shapes all change together, with no compatibility aliases. The provider exclusivity rule deliberately prevents two implementations of the same upstream from coexisting in one context. A pi-ai dependency update can change the accepted provider/model catalog, so the lockfile and adapter e2e matrix define the tested set. Custom `baseURL` endpoints inherit the chosen catalog model's protocol assumptions and cannot repair an incompatible proxy. Catalog-external model descriptors and multimodal content remain unsupported. pi-ai replay state may contain opaque encrypted reasoning signatures; it is persisted because the provider requires it for continuity, but it is never rendered or logged outside the existing session record.

+# RFC: 基于提供方路由的 LLM 适配器与通用 pi-ai 后端
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-07-14-provider-routed-llm-adapters.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+`dsh-llm` 按精确模型名称注册适配器。插件在 Cordis 启动时提供模型列表，`LlmService` 为列表中的每个字符串保存一个适配器，`GenerateOptions.model` 同时选择适配器与提供方模型。两个正式适配器都只面向相同的两个 DeepSeek 模型时，这种方式可以工作，但它混淆了两个独立决策：由哪个上游提供方承接请求，以及该提供方应运行哪个模型。
+
+这种混淆使提供方网关无法提供开放的模型目录。例如，OpenRouter 是一个包含大量模型 ID 的提供方，私有 OpenAI 兼容端点也可能在不修改 Harness 插件树的情况下增加模型。目前，每个新选择的模型都必须在插件启动期间完成注册。同一个模型 ID 还可能存在于多个提供方中，因此仅按模型注册无法表达调用方预期使用的提供方。
+
+`dsh-llm-pi-ai` 没有暴露 pi-ai 的提供方抽象。它以内联方式构造 DeepSeek `openai-completions` 模型，应用 DeepSeek 专用的 payload 补丁，并将每条回放的助手消息标记为 DeepSeek。pi-ai 自身提供提供方/模型目录，能够选择 `openai-responses`、`anthropic-messages`、`google-generative-ai` 等 API，并保留提供方专用的响应 ID，以及后续轮次所需的推理和工具签名。Harness 转换丢弃了这些来源信息，因此仅将内联模型替换为目录查询，会导致同模型回放与跨提供方移交不完整。
+
+适配器配置同样假定只存在一个 DeepSeek API 密钥和端点。通用后端需要为各提供方分别配置凭据和端点覆盖，同时继续由 pi-ai 处理 AWS、Google ADC、OAuth 等环境认证机制。
+
+## 决策
+
+### 提供方作为适配器注册键
+
+`GenerateOptions` 与 `LlmCallConfig` 在 `model: string` 之外携带 `provider: string`，`AgentOptions` 则携带对应的可选创建字段。只有两个值都非空时，agent loop（智能体循环）请求才有效；两个值也都会写入请求头日志。`agent/request` 可以在任意步骤返回替换后的字段组合，因此会话可以切换提供方与模型，无需改变 Cordis 插件生命周期。
+
+`LlmService` 按提供方注册和解析适配器。`registerAdapter(providers, adapter)` 在修改注册表前检查整个提供方列表，遇到重复项时返回 `DUPLICATE_ADAPTER`，并将整组注册作为一个 effect 释放。模型 ID 不作为注册键；仍由选中的适配器负责验证或转发。后续的 [LLM 目录与 ACP 模型选择 RFC](2026-07-15-llm-model-catalog-and-acp-selection.md) 增加了建议性的 `listProviders()` / `listModels()` 发现接口，但不会把目录成员关系变成请求校验规则。
+
+在一个 Cordis 上下文中，一个提供方只能有一个适配器所有者。`dsh-llm-deepseek` 注册 `deepseek`；`dsh-llm-pi-ai` 也可以注册 `deepseek`，但同时加载两个所有者属于配置错误，不采用顺序规则或回退行为。若部署选择手写的 DeepSeek 实现，需从 pi-ai 配置中排除 `deepseek`；若部署选择 pi-ai 的 DeepSeek 实现，则不挂载 `dsh-llm-deepseek`。
+
+`dsh-llm-deepseek` 移除模型注册列表，接受通过 `deepseek` 提供方路由的任意模型字符串。其请求序列化、`/chat/completions` 端点、thinking 选项、SSE（Server-Sent Events）解析和错误行为保持不变；`options.model` 仍会原样发送。
+
+### 显式 pi-ai 提供方配置
+
+`dsh-llm-pi-ai` 接受一个非空的提供方配置列表。列表内的提供方名称必须唯一，并且存在于 pi-ai 的 `getProviders()` 结果中。每项配置包含提供方名称，以及可选的 `apiKey`、`baseURL`、headers、推理级别和预算、缓存保留设置、传输方式、超时和重试设置。凭据不设全局值：显式密钥仅对所属配置生效；未提供密钥时，pi-ai 使用标准环境变量、OAuth token、AWS 凭据链、Google ADC 或其他提供方原生环境认证。显式空密钥属于无效配置，不会回退到环境认证。
+
+插件通过一次全有或全无调用，将所有已配置的提供方名称注册到同一个 `PiAiAdapter`。请求按 provider 选择对应配置，并在 `getModels(provider)` 中查找模型以取得目录描述符。未知提供方会在插件加载时失败；未知模型会在网络 I/O 前以 `UNKNOWN_MODEL` 失败。适配器不会修改目录对象。当配置提供 `baseURL` 时，适配器复制选中的描述符，仅覆盖 `baseUrl`，使私有端点保留 pi-ai 的 API、能力、兼容标志、上下文限制与推理映射。私有端点必须实现所选提供方的协议，模型 ID 也仍须存在于已安装的 pi-ai 目录中。
+
+适配器调用 pi-ai 的 `streamSimple()`，因此每个目录模型会选择其注册的 API 实现；描述符为 `openai-responses` 时使用 OpenAI Responses，而非 Chat Completions。Harness 的 temperature、最大 token 数、signal、session ID，以及提供方配置中的通用流选项均直接传递。配置 headers 与 Harness 强制归因 headers 合并；发生保留名称冲突时，以 Harness 归因为准。适配器不再维护 DeepSeek 专用 payload 重写或提供方协议矩阵。
+
+pi-ai 的通用流选项不支持停止序列。若 Harness `stop` 选项已定义，`dsh-llm-pi-ai` 会以 `UNSUPPORTED_OPTION` 拒绝请求，不会静默忽略，也不会增加第二套提供方专用 payload 实现。`dsh-llm-deepseek` 继续通过原生请求序列化器支持 `stop`。
+
+### 持久化助手来源信息与回放状态
+
+助手消息携带提供方无关的来源信息，其中包含请求的 `provider` 和 `model`，以及可选的 JSON 可序列化适配器回放状态。成功的 `assistant/message` 会话事件记录这些来源信息，`deriveMessages()` 返回助手消息时也会包含这些信息。用户、system、context 与工具结果消息不携带助手来源信息。provider/model 字段是 agent loop 的权威数据；适配器仅拥有其不透明回放状态 payload。
+
+成功的终止 `finish` 分片可以携带回放状态，`BlockAssembler` 会将其与 token 用量和结束原因一起保留。只有当 `agent/step-result` 处理后的内容与提供方组装输出在结构上相等时，agent loop 才会把回放状态附加到助手来源信息。监听器重写内容后，provider/model 来源信息仍会保留，但已经陈旧的回放状态会被移除。错误或中止响应不会生成正常助手消息，因此不会进入后续模型历史。
+
+pi-ai 回放状态是其成功 `AssistantMessage` 的带版本最小投影，包含源 API/provider/model、响应 ID/model、停止原因，以及按索引对齐的文本、thinking 和工具调用签名。它不会重复 Harness 内容块中已有的文本或工具参数，也不包含诊断信息、时间戳、用量或错误。后续请求中，只有历史提供方和目标提供方当前归同一个适配器实例所有时，`LlmService` 才会把回放状态交给目标适配器。适配器在能够恢复历史响应时，将 Harness 记录的内容与回放状态组合，并负责所需的跨模型或跨提供方转换。适配器收到未知版本或块形状不匹配的回放状态时会显式失败；其他适配器只能收到提供方无关的内容与来源信息。
+
+该状态属于模型可见的回放输入，因此遵循现有的[请求可重建规则](../../implemented/architecture/2026-07-05-reconstructable-requests.md)：它同时存在于终止 `finish` 分片和驱动派生的已组装 `assistant/message` 来源信息中。恢复和 fork 会原样保留该状态。压缩（compaction）遮蔽助手消息时，也会从活动 surface 中移除其回放状态；摘要属于普通的提供方无关内容。
+
+### 在所有请求生产方中传播目标
+
+每个模型选择接口都同时携带 provider 与 model：声明式 agent、ACP（Agent Client Protocol）和 stdio 应用配置、JSON-RPC initialize 请求、subagent 覆盖与继承、工作流子 agent 覆盖，以及直接压缩摘要。subagent 先从父 agent 继承两个字段，再应用请求覆盖。系统提示词变量集合在 `model` 之外增加 `provider`。
+
+压缩配置在 `summarizationModel` 之外增加 `summarizationProvider`。两个值均为空时继承，均非空时选择显式目标；只配置其中一个会导致加载失败。继承优先使用最近一次记录的请求目标，没有时回退到 agent 创建选项。`compact/summary` 使用现有模型调用 envelope 记录两个字段。
+
+JSON-RPC 运行时显式接收 provider 与 model。仅当 `deepseek` 提供方没有注册所有者时，其便利回退才会挂载 `dsh-llm-deepseek`；其他缺失的提供方会直接失败，不会猜测适配器。
+
+磁盘会话格式仍使用预发布阶段固定的版本 `0`，且不承诺兼容性。seed/load 验证会拒绝缺少 provider 的请求头，以及缺少必需来源信息的助手消息，不会接受已无法重建请求的旧格式。
+
+## 考虑过的替代方案
+
+**继续以模型名称作为注册表键，并增加通配适配器。** 通配机制会在精确注册与兜底插件之间引入回退顺序，使重复所有权取决于监听器顺序；若不再增加其他约定，仍无法区分不同提供方中相同的模型 ID。
+
+**将提供方与模型编码到一个字符串中。** OpenRouter 的 `openai/gpt-*` 等值已经包含类似提供方的前缀和斜杠。分隔符约定会把路由语法泄漏到每个模型选择接口，并需要转义规则；两个显式字段更清晰，也可以分别记录日志。
+
+**增加 `backend + provider + model`。** backend 键可以让 `dsh-llm-deepseek` 与 pi-ai 的 DeepSeek 实现共存，并按请求切换。最终采用的部署规则是一个提供方对应一个适配器所有者：同一上游的不同实现属于由插件组合选定的替代项。第三个路由维度会增加每个请求与配置的负担，却没有当前消费方。
+
+**让 `dsh-llm-pi-ai` 自动注册所有 pi-ai 提供方。** 这种方式会占用部署无意暴露的环境凭据和提供方名称，并与 `dsh-llm-deepseek` 等原生适配器冲突。显式配置可以审查能力和凭据范围。
+
+**每个提供方挂载一个 pi-ai 插件实例。** 独立实例可以隔离配置，但会重复插件声明，也无法实现配置注册的原子性。每个请求本就向同一个适配器提供 provider，因此经过验证的配置映射具有更小的生命周期接口。
+
+**接受任意内联 pi-ai 模型描述符。** 这种方式可支持目录外的私有模型 ID，但会将 pi-ai 的模型与兼容性 schema 暴露为 Harness 配置，并要求适配器验证协议专用组合。当前版本通过覆盖目录模型的 `baseURL` 支持自定义端点；只有实际出现目录外部署需求后，才会另行决策是否支持自定义描述符。
+
+## 影响
+
+- 提供方名称是部署范围内的路由所有权键：两个提供方可以使用相同的模型字符串，但为同一个提供方挂载两个适配器会在加载时失败，不会形成回退顺序。
+- 模型选择不再改变 Cordis 插件图。目录型适配器可以接受启动后选择的任意已安装目录模型，原生 DeepSeek 适配器则会转发任意 DeepSeek 模型 ID。
+- 自定义 `baseURL` 会保留所选目录模型的协议与能力，但不会让目录外模型 ID 变为有效。私有端点必须实现该目录项对应的协议。
+- pi-ai 凭据与传输选项按提供方配置隔离。省略密钥时委托 pi-ai 使用环境认证；显式空密钥无效。
+- pi-ai 的通用流 API 无法表达停止序列，因此 `dsh-llm-pi-ai` 会拒绝停止序列；原生 DeepSeek 适配器仍支持停止序列。
+- 仅当历史提供方与目标提供方归同一个适配器实例所有时，回放状态才可移植。适配器负责跨提供方和跨模型恢复；其他适配器只接收不含不透明状态的提供方无关历史。
+- 当前预发布会话 JSONL 要求请求头包含 provider/model，助手消息包含来源信息。旧格式仍使用版本 `0`，但会被拒绝，不执行迁移。
+
+## 测试
+
+- 单元测试覆盖注册表冲突、请求重建、会话验证、配置解析、选项转发、包括 OpenAI Responses 在内的原生 API 选择、转换、回放验证、错误映射、取消、内容重写，以及同一实例与不同实例间的回放分发。
+- 无密钥的 agent loop/会话测试和 ACP 快照覆盖持久化 provider/model 元数据、恢复与 fork 传播、工作流/subagent 覆盖，以及不变的用户可见 transcript（文本记录）；密钥门控的 DeepSeek e2e 测试保留真实提供方的流式输出与工具后续调用覆盖率。
+- 公共 JSDoc、package README、架构与核心数据结构文档、生成目录、示例、会话 fixture（测试前置数据）和 Python SDK 配对文档统一使用 provider/model 目标，并由仓库文档与类型等价门禁校验。
+
+## 风险
+
+这是一次覆盖全仓库的预发布 API 破坏性变更：仅模型的请求构造、适配器注册、应用协议、fixture，以及持久化版本 0 事件格式会同时变化，不提供兼容别名。提供方排他规则有意禁止同一上游的两个实现共存于同一上下文。pi-ai 依赖升级可能改变可接受的提供方/模型目录，因此锁文件与适配器 e2e 矩阵定义已验证集合。自定义 `baseURL` 端点会继承所选目录模型的协议假设，无法修复不兼容的代理。目录外模型描述符与多模态内容仍不受支持。pi-ai 回放状态可能包含不透明的加密推理签名；提供方需要该信息维持连续性，因此系统会持久化该状态，但不会在现有会话记录之外渲染或记录它。

 The harness has two useful but different notions of context. A Cordis `Context` selects services, registration ownership, and lifetime; `agent.ctx` is the flat registration scope owned by one live Agent. Agent and Session identity instead describe the subject of an asynchronous operation. Changing a root `ctx.agent` to mean “whichever Agent is running” would conflate those meanings and fail when one process drives Agents concurrently.

Model-visible arguments are also unsuitable because a model must not choose a trusted Session or routing header.

+# RFC: Advisory LLM catalogs and per-session ACP model selection
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-07-15-llm-model-catalog-and-acp-selection.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+Provider-routed adapters let every request choose `provider + model`, but `LlmService` exposed only routing and streaming. A UI could not discover which providers were registered or which models an adapter was prepared to recommend. ACP clients therefore received no `model` session config option, so Zed, JetBrains, and VS Code integrations had no model list even though the request seam already supported runtime switching.
+
+Model discovery cannot become request validation. The hand-written DeepSeek adapter deliberately forwards arbitrary model ids to a public or private endpoint, while pi-ai has a finite installed catalog that is authoritative for its own request resolution. Treating one shared catalog as a whitelist would remove the private-endpoint behavior that provider routing was designed to preserve.
+
+ACP selection must also preserve the provider dimension. The same model id may appear under multiple routes, and switching a global adapter or agent template would leak one editor session's choice into every other session. Prompt variables and request routing must change together; a selection that lands during asynchronous prompt assembly cannot make `{{model}}` name one model while the request reaches another.
+
+## Decision
+
+### Provider-neutral advisory discovery
+
+`LlmAdapter` gains `providerInfo(provider)` and asynchronous `listModels(provider)` methods. Their provider-neutral results are `LlmProviderInfo { id, name }` and `LlmModelInfo { provider, id, name, description? }`. The defaults preserve existing adapter behavior by naming a provider after its route and advertising no models.
+
+`LlmService.listProviders()` returns detached metadata in registration order. `LlmService.listModels(provider)` delegates to the route owner, validates non-empty ids and names, rejects a mismatched provider or duplicate model id with `INVALID_CATALOG`, and returns detached values. Unknown providers still fail with `NO_ADAPTER`. Provider metadata is validated atomically during `registerAdapter()` so a malformed display record cannot leave a partial registration.
+
+Catalog membership is advisory. It drives selectors and diagnostics but never changes `stream()` routing and never rejects an otherwise valid request. Provider ownership remains exclusive and lifecycle-bound; model ids remain request-time adapter input.
+
+`dsh-llm-pi-ai` maps the configured provider's installed `getModels(provider)` entries into the neutral catalog. Its existing request-time catalog lookup remains authoritative and still rejects unknown models with `UNKNOWN_MODEL`. `dsh-llm-deepseek` accepts an optional `models` config containing display entries, defaulting to `deepseek-v4-flash` and `deepseek-v4-pro`. An explicit list replaces those defaults and an empty list disables discovery. The entries improve selector UX for known public or private models, while every unlisted model id continues to pass through unchanged.
+
+### ACP session config option
+
+The ACP bridge advertises one select with `id: model` and `category: model` in `session/new` and `session/load` when the session has a complete target whose provider is registered. Each opaque option value encodes the full provider/model pair. Models are grouped by provider when multiple non-empty provider groups exist; a single group is flattened for clients that render simple selects better.
+
+The session's current target is added to the displayed options when its adapter omits it. This preserves custom DeepSeek and private-endpoint models while keeping the adapter catalog advisory. A target with an unregistered provider is not advertised, and a model-less agent remains available to another `agent/request` supplier.
+
+`session/set_config_option` accepts only values from the current catalog snapshot and updates a target reference owned by that ACP session. No global `LlmService` or `AgentOptions` state changes, so concurrent sessions may select different providers and models. The existing permission select remains independent, and every response returns the complete refreshed option state.
+
+### Prompt/request consistency and durability
+
+Agent setup installs scoped `system-prompt/assemble` and `agent/request` listeners. Prompt assembly snapshots the selected pair once per step, overwrites the assembled `provider` and `model` variables after downstream prompt listeners, and the request listener applies that same snapshot after downstream request listeners. A selection during asynchronous assembly therefore starts on the next step rather than splitting prompt text from routing. Other call-config fields remain untouched.
+
+The request header remains the durable source of truth. When a selected target is actually used, the existing full `request/header` snapshot records it. `session/load` initializes the ACP selection from the folded last request header before falling back to bridge config. A selection that is never used by a request is intentionally in-memory only because it never became model-visible state.
+
+ACP's experimental `providers/*` capability is not used. That draft surface configures provider base URLs, protocols, and headers, including secrets; it does not enumerate models and would give the UI authority to rewrite deployment-owned adapter configuration.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Return model strings only.** A model-only value loses the provider route and becomes ambiguous as soon as two providers expose the same id.
+
+**Make catalogs mandatory whitelists.** This conflicts with the hand-written adapter's arbitrary model pass-through and private deployments. The selected adapter already owns authoritative request validation.
+
+**Store selection in `AgentOptions` or `LlmService`.** Those are creation-wide or deployment-wide objects. Mutating them would couple concurrent ACP sessions and bypass the logged `agent/request` replacement path.
+
+**Persist a new model-selection session event immediately.** An unused UI selection has not affected a model request. Recording the existing request header when the target is consumed preserves the model-visible-if-and-only-if-logged rule without adding a second source of truth.
+
+**Use ACP `providers/*`.** That unstable API changes endpoint and authentication configuration rather than selecting a model for one session, and its lifecycle and secret-handling semantics do not match this feature.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Any adapter can expose a dynamic model list without leaking provider-library types into the core seam.
+- Catalog consumers must treat absence as “not advertised,” never “invalid request.”
+- pi-ai-backed ACP deployments automatically inherit the installed pi-ai provider catalogs; hand-written DeepSeek deployments list known choices explicitly and retain arbitrary model support.
+- ACP clients receive a standard stable model config option, with provider-aware values and per-session isolation.
+- Request headers remain compatible with the provider-routed session shape; no new JSONL event or format version is required.
+- A catalog read can be asynchronous. ACP reads a detached snapshot before creating or resuming an agent, so discovery failure cannot leave a partially published session.
+
+## Testing
+
+Unit coverage validates catalog detachment and malformed metadata, pi-ai and DeepSeek catalog projection, ACP provider grouping, custom-current insertion, invalid values, provider/model request routing, prompt-variable alignment, concurrent-session isolation, model-less fallback, and load restoration from the request header. The existing ACP transport suites verify that the additional config option does not change prompt, cancellation, replay, approval, or tool-rendering behavior.

+
+## 问题
+
+基于提供方路由的适配器允许每次请求选择 `provider + model`，但 `LlmService` 只暴露路由和流式调用。UI 无法发现已注册的提供方，也无法知道适配器愿意推荐哪些模型。因此，ACP 客户端收不到 `model` 会话配置项；即使请求接缝已经支持运行时切换，Zed、JetBrains 和 VS Code 集成仍没有模型列表。
+
+模型发现不能变成请求校验。手写 DeepSeek 适配器会把任意模型 ID 原样转发给公开或私有端点，而 pi-ai 的有限安装目录则是其自身请求解析的权威依据。将共享目录视为白名单，会破坏提供方路由需要保留的私有端点能力。
+
+ACP 选择还必须保留提供方维度。同一个模型 ID 可能存在于多个路由下；切换全局适配器或 agent 模板会让一个编辑器会话的选择泄漏到其他会话。Prompt 变量与请求路由必须同时变化；如果选择发生在异步 prompt 组装期间，不能让 `{{model}}` 表示一个模型、实际请求却到达另一个模型。
+
+## 决策
+
+### 提供方中立的建议性发现
+
+`LlmAdapter` 增加 `providerInfo(provider)` 与异步 `listModels(provider)` 方法。其提供方中立结果分别为 `LlmProviderInfo { id, name }` 和 `LlmModelInfo { provider, id, name, description? }`。默认实现以路由名称作为提供方名称，并且不展示模型，从而保持现有适配器行为。
+
+`LlmService.listProviders()` 按注册顺序返回分离后的元数据。`LlmService.listModels(provider)` 委托给路由所有者，校验非空 ID 和名称，并在提供方不匹配或模型 ID 重复时以 `INVALID_CATALOG` 失败，最后返回分离后的值。未知提供方仍以 `NO_ADAPTER` 失败。提供方元数据在 `registerAdapter()` 期间进行原子校验，错误展示记录不会留下部分注册。
+
+目录成员关系仅提供建议。它驱动选择器与诊断，但不会改变 `stream()` 路由，也不会拒绝原本有效的请求。提供方所有权仍然具有排他性并绑定生命周期；模型 ID 仍是请求时传给适配器的输入。
+
+`dsh-llm-pi-ai` 将已配置提供方的安装目录 `getModels(provider)` 映射为中立目录。其现有请求时目录查询仍是权威依据，未知模型仍以 `UNKNOWN_MODEL` 失败。`dsh-llm-deepseek` 接受可选的 `models` 配置作为展示条目，默认包含 `deepseek-v4-flash` 和 `deepseek-v4-pro`。显式列表会替换这些默认值，空列表则关闭发现。这些条目改善已知公开或私有模型的选择体验，而所有未列出的模型 ID 仍会原样透传。
+
+### ACP 会话配置项
+
+当会话具有完整目标且目标提供方已注册时，ACP bridge 会在 `session/new` 与 `session/load` 中展示一个 `id: model`、`category: model` 的选择项。每个不透明选项值都编码完整的提供方/模型字段组合。存在多个非空提供方分组时按提供方分组；只有一个分组时将其展开，以便对简单选择器支持更好的客户端展示。
+
+如果适配器目录未包含会话当前目标，该目标仍会加入展示选项。这能保留自定义 DeepSeek 与私有端点模型，同时维持目录的建议性。提供方未注册的目标不会展示；缺少模型的 agent 仍可由其他 `agent/request` 提供者补齐。
+
+`session/set_config_option` 只接受当前目录快照中的值，并更新该 ACP 会话独占的目标引用。它不会修改全局 `LlmService` 或 `AgentOptions` 状态，因此并发会话可以选择不同的提供方和模型。现有权限选择项保持独立，每次响应都返回完整的刷新后配置项状态。
+
+### Prompt/请求一致性与持久化
+
+Agent setup 会安装作用域内的 `system-prompt/assemble` 与 `agent/request` 监听器。Prompt 组装为每个 step 只快照一次选中的字段组合，在下游 prompt 监听器完成后覆盖组装结果中的 `provider` 与 `model` 变量；请求监听器则在下游请求监听器完成后应用同一个快照。因此，异步组装期间发生的选择会从下一个 step 生效，不会导致 prompt 文本与路由分裂。其他调用配置字段保持不变。
+
+请求头仍是持久化事实来源。当选中目标被实际使用时，现有的完整 `request/header` 快照会记录它。`session/load` 先从折叠后的最后请求头初始化 ACP 选择，再回退到 bridge 配置。一个从未被请求使用的选择只保留在内存中，因为它从未成为模型可见状态。
+
+本功能不使用 ACP 的实验性 `providers/*` 能力。该草案接口配置提供方 base URL、协议和 headers，其中可能包含密钥；它不枚举模型，并且会赋予 UI 改写部署所有的适配器配置的权力。
+
+## 考虑过的替代方案
+
+**只返回模型字符串。** 仅模型值会丢失提供方路由；两个提供方暴露相同 ID 时立刻产生歧义。
+
+**将目录设为强制白名单。** 这与手写适配器的任意模型透传和私有部署冲突。请求的权威校验本就属于被选中的适配器。
+
+**将选择存入 `AgentOptions` 或 `LlmService`。** 这些对象分别面向创建过程或整个部署。修改它们会耦合并发 ACP 会话，并绕开带日志归因的 `agent/request` 替换路径。
+
+**立即写入新的模型选择会话事件。** 尚未使用的 UI 选择没有影响模型请求。目标被消费时记录现有请求头，既满足“模型可见当且仅当已记录”的规则，也不会引入第二个事实来源。
+
+**使用 ACP `providers/*`。** 该不稳定 API 用于修改端点与认证配置，而不是为单个会话选择模型；其生命周期和密钥处理语义都不适合本功能。
+
+## 结果
+
+- 任意适配器都能暴露动态模型列表，无需把提供方库类型泄漏到核心接缝。
+- 目录消费者必须把缺失理解为“未展示”，而不是“请求无效”。
+- 基于 pi-ai 的 ACP 部署会自动继承已安装的 pi-ai 提供方目录；手写 DeepSeek 部署显式列出已知选项，同时保留任意模型能力。
+- ACP 客户端会收到稳定标准的模型配置项，其中的值保留提供方信息，并按会话隔离。
+- 请求头继续使用基于提供方路由的会话结构；不需要增加 JSONL 事件或格式版本。
+- 目录读取可以是异步的。ACP 在创建或恢复 agent 前读取分离后的快照，因此发现失败不会留下部分发布的会话。
+
+## 测试
+
+单元测试覆盖目录分离与错误元数据、pi-ai 和 DeepSeek 目录投影、ACP 提供方分组、自定义当前模型补入、无效值、提供方/模型请求路由、prompt 变量一致性、并发会话隔离、无模型回退，以及从请求头恢复选择。现有 ACP 传输测试验证新增配置项不会改变 prompt、取消、回放、审批或工具展示行为。

+## Problem
+
+Context pressure is useful outside compaction. A compaction backend, an overflow guard, or a future request-policy plugin can all need the same answer: how much of the configured context window does the durable request consume? Keeping that fold inside `dsh-compact-basic` duplicates replay logic, makes measurement unavailable without compaction, and encourages callers to reuse stale accounting.
+
+Provider usage is not a complete answer. It describes one successful call under one exact request envelope, while the current surface can grow, shrink, or be replaced afterward. Sessions also switch providers and models, old logs can lack chunk provenance, and usage fields separate input, cache-read, cache-write, output, and reasoning counts. A useful service therefore combines the latest exact anchor with conservative heuristic repricing and exposes the log revision consumed by each result.
+
+## Decision
+
+### One concrete LLM-family service
+
+`@deepseek-ai/dsh-token-meter` is one concrete package under `packages/llm/` and registers `ctx.tokenMeter`. It is not split into an interface and backend before a second implementation exists. `TokenMeterService` itself exposes `contextWindow`, `measure(session, requestHeader?)`, and `estimateMessage(message)`; consumers call the singleton service directly.
+
+The service has one `contextWindow`, defaulting to 128,000 tokens and configurable as a positive integer. Estimation uses a fixed four-characters-per-token heuristic plus structural overhead. There are no model profiles, density settings, tokenizer backends, or language-specific strategies.
+
+### Per-session replay folds
+
+Each session owns one isolated incremental fold. Active folds advance from `session/event`; every read catches up through the durable tail, so listener ordering, seeded sessions, and service reload do not change the answer. The fold tracks canonical full request-header snapshots, step boundaries, surface appends and replacements, assistant usage, and assistant-chunk provenance. A malformed next event fails transactionally and remains unread rather than partially mutating state.
+
+`measure(session, requestHeader?)` synchronizes the fold once and returns scalar pressure together with positional per-node prices. `totalTokens` remains request-and-response pressure; `surfaceTokens` is the surface-only heuristic total and equals the sum of `nodes[].tokens`. A `requestHeader` override changes pressure pricing only, while the surface fields always describe the current session. `estimateMessage(message)` applies the fixed heuristic without session state. Each result is one detached, deeply immutable snapshot carrying one `logRevision`. Every measurement clones the current nodes and is therefore O(surface).
+
+Provider usage is reused only when the measured canonical request envelope equals the latest successful-call anchor. Any provider, model, system, prefix, tool, or call-config change causes complete heuristic repricing. Surface changes remain a signed delta from a matching anchor, including negative values after a shrinking replacement. A later successful request replaces the earlier anchor, including across provider or model switches.
+
+Usage sums the disjoint input, cache-read, cache-write, and output buckets. Reasoning is not added a second time. Every successful model call records an `assistant/message`, including content-less and max-token calls, with its exact earlier chunk seqs. An explicit empty provenance list means a known empty provider stream; absent legacy provenance conservatively treats the durable assistant output as provider output.
+
+### Compact-basic consumes, but does not own, measurement
+
+`dsh-compact-basic` requires `ctx.tokenMeter`; `CompactService` gains no token methods or types. The backend is factored into configuration, automatic triggering, region transaction, and summarizer modules, while `summarize()` remains its sole subclass hook. The singleton service consistently prices pressure, retention, shadowed content, provenance, and non-shrinking-summary rejection.
+
+Automatic compaction uses one unified measurement for each threshold-and-retention decision. The region transaction measures after appending its durable `compact/start` lock and again after asynchronous summarization; any intervening durable append changes `logRevision` and prevents replacement.
+
+Compact policy has service-wide defaults: threshold ratio `0.8`, retained tail `floor(contextWindow × 0.16)`, empty summarization provider/model, maximum summary output `8192`, one extra compaction attempt, and automatic triggering enabled. Top-level `thresholdRatio` and `retainTokens` override the pressure policy; retention must remain below the resulting threshold. `summarizationProvider` and `summarizationModel` must both be set or both be empty; an empty pair resolves the latest logged request target, then the `AgentOptions` pair.
+
+The pre-step trigger measures a provisional envelope: the current prompt and prefix override logged values, while the latest logged header supplies provider, model, tools, and other call config. A router-only agent without a complete provider/model pair skips that provisional check because `agent/request` can route later; any routed target can use the singleton estimator.
+
+## Testing
+
+Unit coverage pins service configuration, fixed estimation, envelope invalidation, latest-anchor replacement across provider/model switches, usage and missing-usage paths, seeded append/replace replay, signed deltas, provenance modes, malformed boundaries, unified snapshot detachment and deep immutability, surface-total equality, listener ordering, reload, compact defaults, routing fallback, one-call automatic decisions, retention, convergence, and log-revision rollback. A real Loader/Include YAML fixture loads the exact zero-config token-meter and compact-basic package names in dependency order.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **Keep estimation inside `CompactService`** — rejected because measurement has consumers and replay semantics independent of compaction; it would also force every compactor to expose the same unrelated API.
+- **Split a token-meter interface from a heuristic backend immediately** — rejected because only one implementation exists. One concrete service preserves the future seam without speculative packages or configuration.
+- **Keep model-keyed windows and density profiles** — rejected because the deployment currently has one context policy and one estimator. Model registries, unknown-model failures, and configurable density add branches without a second behavior to select.
+- **Keep separate scalar and surface measurements** — rejected because callers would need two reads and revision matching for one decision. A scalar-only read could avoid cloning nodes below threshold, but the split API introduces a caller-side race window; the unified snapshot accepts O(surface) cloning in exchange for coherence.
+- **Treat provider usage as portable between envelopes** — rejected because model, tools, prefixes, and call config are request facts. Mismatch reprices the whole current request.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Token pressure has one replay-aware owner that compaction and future plugins can share.
+- The default makes the bundled composition usable with two zero-config plugin entries; deployments override one context capacity when needed.
+- Fixed heuristic pricing remains an estimate of provider behavior and is not an exact tokenizer or request serializer.
+- Every measurement clones the current positional surface and therefore costs O(surface), including pressure checks that finish below threshold.
+- Measurements fail loudly on malformed durable boundaries. This turns corrupted replay into a named integration failure instead of silently drifting pressure.
+- The pre-step compact integration can skip a router-only first check and can miss tool or routing changes applied later in request middleware.

+# RFC: 回放式 token 计量服务
+
+Status: implemented
+

+
+## 问题
+
+上下文压力并不只对压缩有用。压缩后端、溢出保护或未来的请求策略插件都可能需要回答同一个问题：持久请求占用了已配置上下文窗口的多少容量？如果把该折叠逻辑留在 `dsh-compact-basic` 内部，就会重复实现回放逻辑，使未加载压缩的调用方无法使用计量，并诱使调用方复用陈旧的核算结果。
+
+提供方 usage 也不是完整答案。它只描述某个精确请求信封下的一次成功调用，而当前表层之后还可能增长、缩小或被替换。会话也可能切换提供方与模型，旧日志可能缺少分片来源，usage 字段还会分别报告输入、缓存读取、缓存写入、输出与推理计数。因此，可用的服务必须把最新精确锚点与保守的启发式重新定价结合起来，并公开每个结果已经消费的日志修订号。
+
+## 决策
+
+### 一个具体的 LLM 家族服务
+
+`@deepseek-ai/dsh-token-meter` 是 `packages/llm/` 下的单个具体包，并注册 `ctx.tokenMeter`。在第二种实现出现之前，它不会被拆成接口与后端。`TokenMeterService` 本身公开 `contextWindow`、`measure(session, requestHeader?)` 与 `estimateMessage(message)`；消费方直接调用这个单例服务。
+
+服务只有一个 `contextWindow`，默认值为 128,000 token，并允许配置为正整数。估算采用固定的每 token 四个字符启发式规则，并加上结构开销。服务不提供模型 profile、密度设置、分词器后端或语言专用策略。
+
+### 逐会话回放折叠
+
+每个会话都有一个隔离的增量折叠。活跃折叠通过 `session/event` 前进；每次读取都会追到持久日志尾部，因此监听器顺序、种子会话与服务重载不会改变答案。折叠跟踪规范的完整请求头快照、步骤边界、表层追加与替换、assistant usage，以及 assistant 分片来源。下一个畸形事件会以事务方式失败并保持未读，不会让状态只修改一半。
+
+`measure(session, requestHeader?)` 只同步一次折叠，并在返回标量压力的同时给出逐位置节点价格。`totalTokens` 仍表示请求与响应压力；`surfaceTokens` 是仅针对表层的启发式总量，并等于 `nodes[].tokens` 之和。`requestHeader` 覆盖只改变压力定价，表层字段始终描述当前会话。`estimateMessage(message)` 不依赖会话状态，直接应用固定启发式规则。每个结果都是一个分离且深度不可变的快照，只携带一个 `logRevision`。每次计量都会复制当前节点，因此成本为 O(surface)。
+
+只有当待计量的规范请求信封等于最近一次成功调用的锚点时，服务才复用提供方 usage。提供方、模型、系统提示词、前缀、工具或调用配置任一变化都会触发完整的启发式重新定价。表层变化相对匹配锚点保留有符号增量，包括缩小替换后的负值。后续成功请求会替换先前锚点，提供方或模型切换时也一样。
+
+Usage 会对互不重叠的输入、缓存读取、缓存写入与输出 bucket 求和，不会再次加入推理计数。每次成功模型调用都会记录 `assistant/message`，包括无内容调用与达到 token 上限的调用，并带上精确的更早分片 seq。显式空来源列表表示已知为空的提供方流；旧日志中缺失的来源则保守地把持久 assistant 输出视为提供方输出。
+
+### compact-basic 消费计量，但不拥有计量
+
+`dsh-compact-basic` 要求 `ctx.tokenMeter`；`CompactService` 不增加 token 方法或类型。后端拆分为配置、自动触发、区域事务与摘要器模块，而 `summarize()` 仍是唯一的子类 hook。单例服务一致用于压力、保留、被遮蔽内容、来源以及非缩小摘要拒绝的定价。
+
+自动压缩的每次阈值与保留联合决策只使用一次统一计量。区域事务先追加持久 `compact/start` 锁，再执行一次计量，并在异步摘要完成后再次计量；期间任何持久追加都会改变 `logRevision`，从而阻止替换。
+
+压缩策略采用服务级默认值：阈值比例 `0.8`、保留尾部 `floor(contextWindow × 0.16)`、空的摘要提供方/模型、摘要最大输出 `8192`、一次额外压缩尝试，以及启用自动触发。顶层 `thresholdRatio` 与 `retainTokens` 覆盖压力策略；保留值必须小于最终阈值。`summarizationProvider` 与 `summarizationModel` 必须同时设置或同时为空；空组合先解析最近记录的请求目标，再使用 `AgentOptions` 中的组合。
+
+pre-step 触发器计量临时请求信封：当前提示词与前缀覆盖日志值，最近记录的请求头给出提供方、模型、工具及其他调用配置。没有完整提供方/模型组合的纯路由 agent（智能体）会跳过该临时检查，因为 `agent/request` 仍可稍后路由；任意已路由目标都可使用这个单例估算器。
+
+## 测试
+
+单元覆盖固定服务配置、固定估算、信封失效、提供方/模型切换时替换最新锚点、有无 usage 的路径、种子追加/替换回放、有符号增量、来源模式、畸形边界、统一快照的分离性与深度不可变性、表层总量相等性、监听器顺序、重载、压缩默认值、路由回退、自动决策单次调用、保留、收敛与日志修订回滚。真实 Loader/Include YAML fixture 按依赖顺序加载精确的零配置 token-meter 与 compact-basic 包名称。
+
+## 考虑过的替代方案
+
+- **把估算保留在 `CompactService` 内**——不予采纳，因为计量拥有独立于压缩的消费方与回放语义；它还会强迫每个压缩器暴露同一套无关 API。
+- **立即把 token meter 拆成接口与启发式后端**——不予采纳，因为目前只有一种实现。单个具体服务保留未来接缝，同时避免推测性的包与配置。
+- **保留模型键控的窗口与密度 profile**——不予采纳，因为当前部署只有一种上下文策略与一个估算器。模型注册表、未知模型错误和可配置密度只增加分支，却没有第二种行为可供选择。
+- **保留独立的标量与表层计量**——不予采纳，因为消费方必须为一次决策执行两次读取并匹配修订号。仅读取标量可以避免在低于阈值时复制节点，但拆分 API 会在消费方引入竞态窗口；统一快照接受 O(surface) 复制成本，以换取结果一致性。
+- **在不同信封之间移用提供方 usage**——不予采纳，因为模型、工具、前缀与调用配置都是请求事实。不匹配时会重新定价完整当前请求。
+
+## 后果
+
+- Token 压力拥有一个可供压缩与未来插件共享的回放感知所有者。
+- 默认值让内置组合只需两个零配置插件条目即可使用；部署需要时只覆盖一个上下文容量。
+- 固定启发式定价仍然只是提供方行为的估计，并不是精确分词器或请求序列化器。
+- 每次计量都会复制当前的位置表层，因此成本为 O(surface)，低于阈值即可结束的压力检查也不例外。
+- 遇到畸形持久边界时，计量会明确失败。这会把损坏的回放转化为具名集成错误，而不是让压力静默漂移。
+- pre-step 压缩集成可能跳过纯路由的首次检查，也可能错过请求中间件稍后应用的工具或路由变化。

 Auto-compaction fires before **every** step, not once per turn.

If the token cutoff lands inside a step, retention expands until the cut is tool-pairing balanced. Balance is checked on surface order, not log sequence, because replacement summaries have new sequence numbers at old surface positions. `dsh-compact` exports the before/after edge helpers; their per-session cache folds only appended surface-tail nodes while `replaceGeneration` is unchanged, does no event reads for log-only growth, and rebuilds current membership and balances after replacement. `compactRegion` rejects boundaries that split a tool call from its result. The in-flight turn receives no special retention.
 
 A runaway turn thus compacts exactly like any other history: its early *closed* steps get summarized while its recent steps stay verbatim. When the only compactable content left is an un-splittable open tail step (its tool-calls have no results yet), compaction declines (`null`) and retries once that step closes.
 
-**Single-unit overflow is out of scope, by design.** If a single retained unit — one closed step, or a large free node such as a pasted `user/message` — *alone* exceeds the budget, compaction cannot help and the next model call may go out over-budget. Bounding an individual unit's size is a separate concern (output truncation), handled elsewhere; compaction makes no promise about it, and the harness without such a mechanism can still break on a single oversized unit. This is named honestly rather than papered over.

 ### Approximate convergence invariant
 
-`resolveConfig` validates numeric knobs but does NOT reject based on a pretend summary-length invariant.

+# RFC: Workspace context instruction files
+
+Status: implemented
+
+## Problem
+
+Repository guidance such as `AGENTS.md` belongs in a coding session's effective context so project conventions, build commands, and review rules arrive without repeated user pasting. The stdio and ACP products need the same behavior, isolated by session cwd: a global system-prompt section leaks one workspace's files into another live ACP session.
+
+Neighboring products establish useful conventions but differ in details. Codex treats `AGENTS.md` as native, Claude Code uses `CLAUDE.md` and familiar system-reminder-style user context, and opencode supports both names with one winner per directory plus lazy nested discovery. The harness needs cross-tool compatibility without loading duplicate or contradictory files from the same scope.
+
+The lifecycle has two distinct classes of content. The initial applicable chain is stable enough to live in the request prefix and benefit from provider prefix caching. Nested files, edits, candidate switches, and removals happen after the session starts and belong in durable append-only history rather than the frozen prefix.
+
+## Decision
+
+The implementation lives in `packages/context/workspace-context` as `@deepseek-ai/dsh-workspace-context`. It is a request-context extension, not a core service or a filesystem backend. `@deepseek-ai/dsh-agent-core` mounts it for both product front doors and forwards its config. The plugin consumes `agent/session-prefix`, `tools/post-execute`, and the optional `ctx.fs` capability.
+
+The plugin does not statically inject `fs`. Providerless product trees therefore boot normally and the plugin no-ops until a filesystem provider exists. All production reads go through that provider. Candidate probes call `lstat` before `resolve`, so a repository-owned final-component symlink is rejected rather than followed outside the workspace. The session-prefix signal and dynamic tool execution signal propagate through resolution, metadata probes, and streaming reads, so cancellation does not wait for an unrelated filesystem scan. Once `lstat` identifies a regular-file winner, a provider exception or disagreement during resolve/stat is classified as unavailable: it is neither interpreted as a deletion nor allowed to fall through to a lower-priority candidate.
+
+### File Names And Precedence
+
+The default per-directory candidate list is `['AGENTS.md', 'CLAUDE.md']`. The list is configurable as `instructionFileCandidates`, and `AGENTS.md` is an ordinary first candidate rather than a hidden priority. In one directory, only the first existing regular-file candidate loads. With defaults, `AGENTS.md` is native and `CLAUDE.md` is a compatibility fallback.
+
+Candidate entries are same-directory file names. Empty entries, `.`/`..`, and entries containing `/` or `\` are ignored. Lowercase names, local variants, and other same-directory names can be opted into explicitly; rule directories and import semantics are outside this contract.
+
+The user-global file is fixed at `$DSH_HOME/AGENTS.md` and is not affected by `instructionFileCandidates`. `$DSH_HOME` defaults to `~/.dsh`, matching the harness-level home role of `~/.codex` or `~/.claude` rather than introducing a plugin-specific home. Tilde expansion and the default live in `dsh-paths` so future harness features share the same convention.
+
+### Baseline Prefix
+
+On the first request of an agent-loop instance, the plugin contributes one user-role message through `agent/session-prefix`. It loads the user-global file first, then finds the project root by walking upward from `agent.session.header.cwd` to a configured root marker (default `.git`), then loads one candidate from each directory from the root to the cwd. A `.git` file and a `.git` directory are both valid markers, covering linked worktrees and submodules. Without a marker, the cwd itself is the root.
+
+The plugin prepends its contribution before `await next()` returns, so session-prefix contributions appear in plugin registration order. In the product spine workspace instructions are registered before a skills catalog and therefore appear first. The loop deep-freezes the composed prefix, logs it in `EpochHeader.messagePrefix`, and reuses it verbatim for that instance. It is request state, not `Session.deriveMessages()` history.
+
+A resumed agent creates a new loop instance and recomposes the baseline from current files, with the new prefix anchored by the resume request header. This permits current baseline content on resume without mutating a prefix already used by an earlier instance.
+
+The baseline is a user-role `<system-reminder>` with `Instructions from: <path>` sections and explicit authority and precedence language. This familiar model-facing frame avoids a harness-specific XML vocabulary. Project paths are root-relative and the user-global path is `~/.dsh/AGENTS.md` for the default home or `$DSH_HOME/AGENTS.md` for a configured home. A literal `</system-reminder>` inside file content is escaped. The package README owns the exact current [prompt shape](../../../../packages/context/workspace-context/README.md#prompt-shape).
+
+### Dynamic Discovery And Refresh
+
+After a successful first-party `read`, `write`, or `edit` call, the `tools/post-execute` listener reconciles the touched descendant chain and every scope already known to the session. A newly reached scope is returned through `additionalContexts` for the next request using an `Additional instructions from: <path>` system-reminder. Under Code Mode, `run_code` defers sub-dispatch contexts onto its outer result, so the same update is appended only after the parent result rather than being injected mid-call.
+
+A content edit appends `Updated instructions from: <path>`, states that the new content replaces the previous content, and includes the complete current file. If precedence changes from one candidate to another, the message also names the previous path and says it no longer applies. If no candidate remains, the plugin appends `Instructions removed: <path>` and states that the previously loaded instructions no longer apply.
+
+Dynamic messages use a raw `context/message` envelope because the plugin owns the complete system-reminder framing. Core context injection therefore supports `envelope: 'raw'`; callers that omit it retain the canonical `<context source="...">` wrapper. `context/message.meta` carries opaque JSON state that is persisted but never rendered to the model.
+
+Shell commands are not discovery triggers. Local bash calls start fresh shells, and inferring reached paths from arbitrary command strings would require shell semantics the prompt plugin does not own.
+
+### Duplicate Suppression And Change Detection
+
+Every dynamic workspace context event stores versioned metadata with `{ action, scope, path, previousPath?, digest? }`, where `digest` is SHA-1 over the loaded content. The model-facing prompt has no HTML comments, hidden markers, or headings that are parsed back into state.
+
+At reconciliation time the plugin scans plugin-owned `context/message` events and derives the latest state for each visible scope. A short per-session pending map begins only after the immutable top-level `tools/result` proves an `additionalContexts` entry survived every post-execute listener, then covers the interval before the loop appends that context to the log. Each entry records the open `{ turn, step }`: an equal durable `context/message` at or after its sequence boundary confirms and removes it, while a matching `step/end` arriving first means the loop discarded its context buffer, so the plugin removes both the pending entry and its version-cache fast path. A nested Code Mode result stages its changes under the parent's opaque execution token so repeated sub-dispatches in one run do not duplicate them; the parent result rolls that provisional state back and commits only contexts retained by outer policy.
+
+An unchanged path and digest is suppressed. A logged removal is a tombstone, so a reappearing candidate becomes a new `set`. Resume works from persisted metadata. If compaction removes an instruction event from the visible surface, that state no longer suppresses a later load, matching the fact that the model can no longer see it. Only changes actually included under the byte budget enter metadata or pending state, so an omitted file remains eligible on a later touch.
+
+The frozen baseline keeps an in-memory path/digest map for comparison. A later successful filesystem touch appends baseline edits or removals as dynamic messages; it never rewrites the prefix. During resumed prefix composition the plugin also reconciles visible dynamic scopes, so nested changes made while the agent was offline can append an update before the first resumed request.
+
+There is intentionally no watcher. Detection occurs at the next successful structured filesystem touch or resumed prefix composition. A provider failure produces no removal; absence is only accepted when all configured candidates in that scope were probed successfully.
+
+### Byte Budget And Bounded Reads
+
+`maxBytes` is required and applies separately to a rendered baseline or one dynamic reconciliation batch; there is no implicit or unbounded render budget. Non-positive and non-finite values disable loading. When content exceeds the budget, broader files are omitted before the most-specific file is truncated. A visible `Workspace instruction budget ...` notice names omitted and truncated paths and byte counts, and output never exceeds the configured bytes.
+
+`maxSourceBytes` is a positive per-file cap with a 1 MiB default. The loader checks reported size before reading and still consumes content through `streamText()` with a running UTF-8 byte count, so missing/stale metadata cannot force an unbounded allocation. An oversized winning candidate is unavailable rather than a reason to fall through to another same-directory name. The plugin deliberately keeps no process-wide cache and never retains instruction prose. It keeps only `{ path, version, digest }` per effective scope in a `WeakMap<Session, Map<scope, state>>`: a matching provider `FsVersion` plus matching effective prompt state skips the read, while a changed version triggers a bounded read and SHA-1 confirmation. SHA-1 remains the cross-provider content identity persisted in visible structured metadata; provider versions are only an in-memory invalidation fast path. Cache transitions for model-visible changes commit only when the corresponding context survives the complete tool-result policy chain, and are invalidated if that accepted context is later dropped with its aborted step before reaching the log.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Use a global `ctx.systemPrompt.section()`.** Rejected because one Cordis context can host sessions with different cwd values, while repository-owned text is lower-authority context rather than top-authority provider system content.
+
+**Inject the baseline on every `agent/pre-step`.** Rejected because repeated history injection wastes tokens, complicates duplicate state, and prevents a structurally stable provider prefix. Prefix composition gives a frozen, logged, per-instance baseline while dynamic append-only messages handle changes.
+
+**Load both `AGENTS.md` and `CLAUDE.md` in one directory.** Rejected because repositories in transition commonly duplicate guidance across both files. Ordered candidates make precedence explicit and configurable.
+
+**Parse rendered headings or hidden comments to recover loaded state.** Rejected because instruction prose can contain the same text, causing silent false positives. Persisted JSON metadata provides an unambiguous state channel that is invisible to the model.
+
+**Summarize files with a model.** Rejected because instruction files are already curated summaries; another model call is nondeterministic and can erase edge-case requirements. Deterministic full text with byte budgeting is simpler.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Workspace guidance is isolated per session and shared by both product front doors and every tool presentation mode. Initial instructions benefit from stable prefix caching, while nested and changed content remains durable and replayable. The generic session/agent context contract includes optional raw framing and JSON metadata, both propagated through prompt-submit and post-tool `additionalContexts` arrays without flattening entries.
+
+Repository text remains untrusted input. Lower-authority user-role framing, explicit precedence language, delimiter escaping, and symlink rejection reduce risk but do not eliminate prompt injection. Permission and sandbox layers treat workspace files as data rather than authority.
+
+The system is event-driven rather than watch-driven. Edits are not visible at the exact filesystem mutation instant unless that mutation goes through a structured tool; externally changed files are noticed on the next successful structured touch or resume. This keeps the design deterministic and provider-neutral.
+
+## Deferred
+
+Bash-derived path reporting, recursive startup scans, file watchers, lowercase defaults, `.claude/CLAUDE.md`, `.claude/rules/*.md`, import directives, ACP `additionalDirectories`, trust acknowledgements, and model-generated summaries are deferred. Same-directory private variants can be configured today; directory rule systems and imports need their own precedence and trust designs.

-2. **Post-tool `additionalContext` is buffered and appended AFTER all `tool/result`s.** `content`/`feedback` shape the result `execute()` returns, but `additionalContext` is a SEPARATE `context/message`, and a single step can carry multiple tool calls. Appending context right after each result would interleave `result(c1) → context → result(c2)` and break tool-call/result adjacency. So `execute()` surfaces `additionalContext` on its `ToolExecutionResult`, and the loop buffers every per-call context for the step and appends them as `context/message`(s) only after every `tool/result` is appended.
+2. **Post-tool `additionalContexts` are buffered and appended AFTER all `tool/result`s.** `content`/`feedback` shape the result `execute()` returns, but each context is a SEPARATE `context/message`, and a single step or composite tool can produce many. Appending context immediately would interleave `result(c1) → context → result(c2)` or place nested context before its outer result, breaking tool-call/result adjacency. `ToolRunContext.deferContext()` therefore collects nested-dispatch context through failures, `execute()` surfaces the ordered array on `ToolExecutionResult`, and the loop appends every entry only after every `tool/result` in the step. An accepted outer call preserves deferred contexts before decision contexts; an outer block discards deferred contexts and exposes only contexts explicitly supplied by the blocking decision.
 
 3. **A forced `continue` `reason` is enqueued through the steering channel**, so the next step's top-of-loop drain records it as steering for the continued turn — next-*step* steering within the SAME turn, not a next-*turn* prompt (matching the existing `hasSteering` force-continue override).

 - The initial `PromptAssembly.tools` is canonical, so waterfall listeners start from the model-facing order; provider registration order is observable nowhere before that cooperative seam.

+- A pure tool reordering between steps is logged like any other header change: a full `request/header` snapshot with reason `'change'`. Stable canonical order prevents registration timing from creating such changes in the ordinary path.
 - The `toolOrder` key rides the app → `agent-core` → `SystemPrompt` forwarding chain, so deployments set it next to `persona` in the app config; `dsh-llm` and the agent loop are untouched.
 - A misspelled or unloaded tool name in `toolOrder` fails the turn at prompt assembly, not the boot: the loop assembles inside the turn (after `turn/start`, before `step/start`), so the rejection reaches the turn's outer catch — the turn closes balanced with an `error` reason carrying the message, `agent/error` mirrors it, no step opens, no `request/header` is logged, no request reaches the adapter, and the agent returns to idle. Every turn fails identically until the config is fixed; the process itself stays up (matching the repo rule that explicit config references must not be silently ignored — the enforcement point is the assembly because no earlier universal moment exists).
 - A tool provider that returns the reserved rest-entry name has the same prompt-assembly failure shape as an unknown listed name. This keeps the sentinel from becoming an ambiguous real tool and preserves the "never drops a tool" ordering contract.

 Three properties carry the design:
 
 - **Request-only, header-logged.** `deriveMessages()` never returns the prefix; its one durable record is `EpochHeader.messagePrefix` on the instance's anchoring `request/header` snapshot — the channel the reconstructable-requests RFC already owns for the request's non-history half, so no new session event exists. The dev invariant ([dsh-invariants](../../../../packages/support/invariants/src/index.ts)) recomputes `messagePrefix + boundary derivation` against every loop-built request; an unlogged prefix cannot reach the wire.
-- **Frozen per instance.** Reuse is structural, not disciplined: the cached product cannot change mid-session, so the provider's prompt cache holds by construction and the prefix extends the cacheable region at zero marginal cost per step. A process restart or `ctx.agents.resume()` is a new instance: it recomposes, and any drift lands attributably on the `'resume'` header snapshot. This is the routing rule the seam creates: session-frozen openers ride the prefix; content that changes mid-session rides the append-only history channels (`agent.inject()`, a `tools/post-execute` decision's `additionalContext`, prompt-submit `additionalContext` — [the interception-seams RFC](2026-06-30-interception-seams.md)), each a durable `context/message` paid once and prefix-cached thereafter.

 - **Composed before the pressure gate.** Composition precedes the instance's first `agent/pre-step`, and the seam hands the composed value through: `agent/pre-step` carries a `sessionPrefix` parameter and `CompactService.compactIfNeeded(agent, fullSystemPrompt, sessionPrefix, signal)` counts it in its token-pressure estimate — a gate reading the previous instance's folded prefix instead would under-gate a resumed or forked instance whose contributor grew, skipping compaction and shipping an over-window first request. A composition interrupted by a cancel/dispose landing inside the waterfall is discarded, never cached: an abort-aware listener's degraded fallback cannot leak into later requests, and the next turn recomposes under a live signal.
 
 Because composition runs before the boundary snapshot, a composing listener's session append joins the CURRENT request's derived history. Compaction structurally cannot touch the prefix (or the system prompt): it rewrites surface nodes, and header state never enters the surface.
 
 ## Testing
 
-[Interception tests](../../../../packages/core/agent-loop/tests/interception.spec.ts) pin compose-once reuse with no header deltas, prepend order, empty-prefix omission, immutability, and composition before pre-step; [cancellation tests](../../../../packages/core/agent-loop/tests/cancel.spec.ts) pin discard and recomposition. Session codec, invariant, and compaction tests cover header round trips, request reconstruction, and prefix-aware pressure accounting. Snapshot normalization preserves prefix counts, while the [pinned-header scenario](../testing/2026-07-06-pin-request-header-content-in-one-scenario.md) owns content and the default example remains prefix-free. No prefix-specific e2e is needed because the seam is deterministic and provider-independent; the with-key [request-cache e2e](../../../../packages/core/agent-loop/tests/request-cache.e2e.ts) covers its cache economics.
+**Unit** — [interception.spec.ts](../../../../packages/core/agent-loop/tests/interception.spec.ts) pins compose-once across turns and steps (one composition and no changed headers), canonical prepend ordering, empty-prefix omission from the header, the frozen seed (in-place push throws), held-reference mutation immunity, and composition-precedes-pre-step with the seam receiving the composed value; [cancel.spec.ts](../../../../packages/core/agent-loop/tests/cancel.spec.ts) pins cancel/dispose landing inside the composition window and the discard-and-recompose stale-cache guard; dsh-session header tests cover canonical prefix snapshots and latest-snapshot folding; dsh-invariants tests pin the `messagePrefix + derivation` equation; dsh-compact-basic tests pin that the pressure estimate counts the handed prefix. **Snapshot** — the acp-snapshot normalizer scrubs header prefixes to count-preserving `{{messagePrefix}}` tokens (unit-covered in dsh-acp-snapshot); header content itself is pinned per [the pinned-header scenario RFC](../testing/2026-07-06-pin-request-header-content-in-one-scenario.md), and the example tree loads no prefix contributor, so live goldens stay prefix-free. **e2e** — none prefix-specific: the seam is provider-independent and deterministic; the with-key cache measurement in [request-cache.e2e.ts](../../../../packages/core/agent-loop/tests/request-cache.e2e.ts) already proves the cacheable-prefix economics the design rests on.

 ## Consequences

 - A contributor whose content changes mid-session is not re-read until the next instance — by design. A deployment needing mid-session catalog updates routes the change notice through the append-only history channels and pays one durable `context/message`.
 - The dropped `after` slot leaves no request-only channel near the request tail; nothing in the repo needs one, and adding it back would re-open the every-step re-pay cost the design exists to avoid.
-- The `request/header-delta` `messagePrefix` arm (whole-array replacement, empty array encoding transition to absence) exists for codec totality; the loop never exercises it, because the cached prefix cannot change within an instance.
 - An empty composition is canonical absence: no-contributor deployments log no extra header bytes and their requests are the bare derivation.

Thresholds escalate: the first configured threshold gets a short "you are repeating yourself, analyze the previous result" nudge; each later threshold gets the detailed form naming the tool, the repeat count, and the canonical arguments (head-truncated at `argumentsPreviewChars`, default 500 — a looping `write`-sized payload must not ride into the next request unbounded; the chain key always compares the full canonical string), and stating that the calls made no progress. The pi original hardcodes the gentle text to the literal count 3; the guard keys it to `thresholds[0]`, fixing that bug in the port.

+# RFC: Bash-backed grep and glob discovery tools
+
+Status: implemented
+
+## Problem
+
+The harness needs model-facing `glob` and `grep` tools, but making them `ctx.fs` provider methods turns a local product convenience into a universal filesystem backend contract. Local workspace discovery is naturally a process-backed `rg` workflow; remote or virtual filesystem backends may expose their own search API, may not share a local `ripgrep` view, or may not support discovery at all. The v1 should not require every filesystem backend to implement search before the file read/write/edit seam has proven that need.
+
+Search output also has two distinct budgets. The tool needs enough raw `rg` output to compute a stable logical result, but the model should receive only a bounded preview plus a recovery path when the formatted result is larger than the inline budget. The generic spill policy only sees the final tool result, so it cannot recover matches that a search tool already omitted. Search therefore needs tool-owned retention and best-effort formatted-result spill.
+
+## Decision
+
+`glob` and `grep` are model-facing tools in `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-fs-search`, backed by the bash seam, not by new `ctx.fs` provider methods. The package registers model-facing filesystem discovery tools, but execution uses `ctx.bash.resolve(request)` followed by `ctx.bash.run(spec)` with fixed `rg` command templates assembled by the tool. The tool layer owns schemas, argument validation, shell quoting, result parsing, result formatting, retention, formatted-result spill handoff, and timeout declaration. The bash executor owns request defaulting/capping, subprocess execution, process-group termination, environment scrubbing, raw output capture, and backend substitution across local, sandboxed, or remote bash implementations.
+
+The tools do not use `ctx.bash.start()` and do not create model-visible background tasks. They run as ordinary foreground tools from the agent loop's perspective: the tool call returns only after the `rg` command exits, times out, is aborted, or fails. `defineTool({ timeoutMs })` declares the cooperative tool-call budget, `@deepseek-ai/dsh-timeout-policy` enforces it through `exec.signal`, and the tool forwards that signal into the bash request before `resolve()` / `run()`. The bash backend's own timeout remains a second safety cap; whichever aborts first wins.
+
+The tools align `path` with Claude Code's search tools while binding resolution to the bash workdir, not to `ctx.fs`. The tool derives the bash request workdir from `exec.agent?.session.header.cwd`, mirroring `dsh-tool-bash` and `dsh-tool-fs`; when no session cwd exists, it omits `request.workdir` so the bash implementation applies its configured cwd or process cwd through `resolve()`. For `grep`, `path` is an optional ripgrep target and may be a file or directory; omitted means the resolved bash workdir. For `glob`, `path` is an optional directory search root; omitted means the resolved bash workdir. Relative `path` values resolve against that workdir. Returned paths are displayed relative to the resolved bash workdir when possible and are intended to be follow-up-readable only in co-located deployments where the bash workdir and filesystem `read` root are the same workspace. v1 documents that deployment requirement but does not perform runtime cross-service validation. Remote or virtual filesystem search is deferred until there is a shared workspace/root contract or a provider-specific search backend.
+
+The package does not inject `fs`. It injects `tools`, `systemPrompt`, and `bash`; it deliberately reads `spillStore` with `ctx.get('spillStore')` instead of static inject because formatted-result spill is optional. Existing `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-fs` deployments that only want `read` / `write` / `edit` do not need to load bash.
+
+### Package shape

+`glob.ts` and `grep.ts` own their parameter validation, command construction, result parsing, formatting, and registration. `shell-quote.ts` is one shared helper because shell quoting is the safety boundary both tools must use; `search-core.ts` is the other (an implementation-time amendment to the original four-file plan): the `SEARCH_*` error vocabulary, the bash-run + raw-output acquisition, the formatted-spill handoff, and workdir-relative display are byte-identical between the two tools, and duplicating that delicate plumbing per tool is exactly the missed extraction the symmetry convention flags. Command builders must not hand-roll quoting or concatenate unquoted model-controlled values into the shell command.
+
+### Schemas and config
+
+`glob` exposes the small discovery shape:
+
+```ts
+interface GlobArgs {
+  pattern: string
+  path?: string
+}
+```
+
+`grep` exposes the OpenCode-style minimal shape:
+
+```ts
+interface GrepArgs {
+  pattern: string
+  path?: string
+  include?: string
+}
+```
+
+Routine budgets stay out of the model-facing schema. `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-fs-search` owns these defaulted, validated config fields:
+
+| Field | Default | Role |
+|---|---:|---|
+| `globMaxResults` | `100` | Max paths retained inline; matches Claude Code's default `GlobTool` result limit. |
+| `grepMaxMatches` | `250` | Max flat matches retained inline; matches Claude Code's default `GrepTool` `head_limit`. |
+| `grepMaxLineBytes` | `2000` | Max bytes retained for one matched-line preview, applied with `TextRetainer({ kind: 'head', maxBytes: grepMaxLineBytes })`. |
+| `rawOutputMaxBytes` | `20000000` | Max complete raw `rg` stdout the tool will parse; matches Claude Code's ripgrep raw buffer. |
+| `timeoutMs` | `30000` | Tool-call timeout attached to both tool definitions and enforced by `@deepseek-ai/dsh-timeout-policy`. |
+
+`globMaxResults` and `grepMaxMatches` use `ItemRetainer({ kind: 'head' })`. `grepMaxLineBytes` uses `TextRetainer({ kind: 'head', maxBytes: grepMaxLineBytes })` for each matched line so preview cuts preserve UTF-8 boundaries. This follows the [tool result retention library](../../implemented/architecture/2026-07-06-tool-result-retention-library.md) mapping for discovery items: collect the complete result, retain head items inline, and keep path mapping, grouping, and per-line preview outside the retainer. `grep` does not expose `case_insensitive`, `head_limit`, `offset`, `count`, multiline, context lines, output modes, or file type filters in v1. A model that needs surrounding context reads the matched file with `read`; a model that needs later results follows the returned spill locator's retrieval hint.
+
+The Claude Code values are reference points for the two-layer budget, not model-facing schema precedent. Its dedicated search tools buffer raw ripgrep output up to 20 MB for internal processing, use a 20-second ripgrep timeout on non-WSL platforms (60 seconds on WSL), then apply search-specific caps before the model sees a result: `GrepTool` defaults to `head_limit = 250` and persists formatted results above 20,000 characters, while `GlobTool` defaults to 100 paths and persists formatted results above 100,000 characters. This RFC mirrors the raw-buffer and inline-count defaults, chooses a 30-second default search timeout, and uses this harness's `ctx.spillStore.saveText()` path for formatted-result recovery.
+
+The `path` field follows the same split as Claude Code: `grep.path` is a file-or-directory ripgrep target, while `glob.path` is a directory search root. v1 does not expose a separate cwd/workdir argument on these tools.
+
+`include` is one positive glob filter, not a list and not an exclude syntax. Reject comma-separated or negated include patterns up front with a structured argument error. Every model-controlled value used in a shell command, including `pattern`, `path`, and `include`, must pass through the package-private shell quoting helper.
+
+### Execution
+
+`glob` builds a fixed `rg --files` command rooted at the resolved directory search root (`path` when supplied, else the bash workdir): `rg --files --glob <pattern> --sort=modified --no-ignore --hidden`, plus VCS metadata excludes for `.git`, `.svn`, `.hg`, `.bzr`, `.jj`, and `.sl`. This aligns with Claude Code on hidden/ignored-file discovery and modified-time ordering while keeping VCS internals out of broad searches. The tool parses one path per line, maps results back to paths relative to the bash workdir when possible, pushes each path into `ItemRetainer({ kind: 'head', maxItems: globMaxResults })`, and formats the full sorted path list for a spill artifact when the retained result is capped.
+
+`grep` builds a fixed line-oriented `rg --json` command against the supplied file/directory target (`path` when supplied, else the bash workdir) so file path, line number, and line text are parsed without colon-splitting ambiguity. It consumes `match` records, treats malformed JSON or malformed match records as `SEARCH_FAILED`, maps result paths relative to the bash workdir when possible, applies per-line preview retention with `grepMaxLineBytes`, pushes each match into `ItemRetainer({ kind: 'head', maxItems: grepMaxMatches })`, then groups only the retained preview matches by file for inline output. The spill artifact stores the full formatted match list, not only the omitted tail, so the retrieval hint points at the same logical result the model saw.
+
+Raw `rg` stdout is an internal transport detail. The tool requests `stdoutMaxBytes: rawOutputMaxBytes` through `ctx.bash.resolve()` and parses `stdout.text` only when the executor returns untruncated stdout within that cap. If stdout is larger than `rawOutputMaxBytes`, or the executor still returns `stdout.truncated`, the tool fails with a clear search error telling the model to narrow `pattern`, `path`, or `include`. The tool never exposes raw `rg` output or bash raw spill paths to the model.
+
+Only stdout is a parse source. Stderr is diagnostic text for invalid patterns, missing `rg`, and search failures; if bash truncates stderr, the tool uses the retained stderr tail with a truncation note and does not read `stderr.spillPath`.
+
+If `ctx.bash.run()` reports `aborted` because the tool timeout or caller cancellation fired, the tool returns a structured failure rather than pretending there were no matches. If bash reports its own timeout first, the tool likewise fails with a clear timeout message. Nonzero ripgrep exit semantics are tool-owned: exit 0 is success with matches, exit 1 is success with no matches, invalid pattern / missing `rg` / inaccessible search workdir are failures.
+
+Search failures use a package-owned `HarnessError` subclass with `SEARCH_*` codes, not `FsErrorCode`, because these tools are not `ctx.fs` provider operations. The v1 vocabulary is `SEARCH_INVALID_PATTERN`, `SEARCH_FAILED`, `SEARCH_RAW_OUTPUT_OVERFLOW`, and `SEARCH_ABORTED`. Model argument validation failures such as missing required fields, blank strings, or unsupported negated/list `include` values remain ordinary tool argument errors.
+
+### Formatted result spill
+
+`ctx.spillStore` is optional and used only for model-facing formatted results. This is the first tool-owned spill call pattern in the codebase, and it is intentional because search retention is item-level policy: `globMaxResults` caps paths and `grepMaxMatches` caps matches while the tool still holds the complete logical result. The generic `dsh-spill-policy` caps final text bytes on `tools/post-execute`; by then a search tool would already have omitted later paths or matches, so the policy cannot recover them.
+
+When a search produces more logical results than the inline cap and `ctx.spillStore` is present, the tool saves the complete formatted result with `saveText()`. The spill owner is the calling agent's session header id (`exec.agent?.session.header.id`); without that owner, the search keeps the inline result and reports that the complete result could not be saved. The spill source is the tool execution identity: `{ toolName: exec.name, callId: exec.callId, label: 'result' }`. The suggested filenames are `grep-results.txt` and `glob-results.txt`; the spill backend still treats them as hints, never paths.
+
+When spill storage is absent, the call has no session owner, or saving fails, the tool still returns the inline page and a footer explaining that the complete result could not be saved. Search success must not turn into an `isError` result solely because formatted-result spill storage is unavailable.
+
+The bash raw output stream and the formatted search spill artifact are different artifacts. Raw `rg` stdout is parsed only in memory within the requested bash stdout cap; the formatted spill artifact is the stable model-facing recovery locator produced by `ctx.spillStore.saveText()`.
+
+### Result shape
+
+A capped `glob` result with successful formatted spill returns the inline page and a spill notice:
+
+```text
+<first N paths>
+
+(Showing N of M paths. Full sorted result stored at: /.../session-abc123/9f8e7d-glob-results.txt. Use read with offset/limit, or grep this path to search within it.)
+```
+
+A capped `grep` result with successful formatted spill returns grouped preview matches and a spill notice:
+
+```text
+Found N of M matches
+
+<file>
+Line 12: ...
+
+(Full grep result stored at: /.../session-abc123/9f8e7d-grep-results.txt. Use read with offset/limit, or grep this path to search within it.)
+```
+
+If the complete logical result fits under the inline cap, no formatted spill artifact is created. If the complete logical result is too large but formatted spill is unavailable, the footer says that the result was capped and the complete result could not be saved. The `truncated` / omitted count is a budget fact, not an incomplete-search fact; timeout, invalid regex, missing `rg`, inaccessible workdirs, raw-output overflow, binary skips, and parse failures stay in tool-domain error or incomplete fields.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Put `glob` / `grep` on `ctx.fs`.** Rejected for v1: it forces every filesystem backend to grow a search API and makes local ripgrep behavior part of the provider seam. Search is useful product behavior, but it is not a universal text-storage primitive like `readText` or `writeText`.
+
+**Directly spawn ripgrep from `dsh-fs-local`.** Rejected for this RFC's v1: direct spawn gives the cleanest argv boundary, stdout/stderr control, and early-stop control, but it duplicates process execution concerns that the bash seam already owns: environment scrubbing, process-group kill, timeout propagation, sandbox/remote executor substitution, and bounded output capture. It remains a reasonable optimization if bash-backed search proves too shell-string-sensitive or if foreground streaming becomes necessary.
+
+**Use `ctx.bash.start()` for streaming early stop.** Rejected: `start()` creates model-visible background task semantics: task ids, owner tokens, `bash_output`, `bash_kill`, completion notifications, and no built-in timeout. `grep` needs a foreground tool result, not a background bash workflow. If streaming search becomes necessary, the right abstraction is a foreground streaming process handle on the bash/process seam, not borrowing the public background-task API.
+
+**Expose bash raw spill paths to the model.** Rejected: a bash raw spill path contains raw `rg` stdout (`rg --json` records for grep), not the stable formatted search result. Search parses raw stdout only as an internal transport; model recovery uses a formatted result saved through `ctx.spillStore.saveText()`.
+
+**Add `spillStore.saveFile()` for bash output normalization first.** Rejected for this RFC's v1: `saveFile()` would help a future bash normalization pass move existing executor spill files into session-scoped spill storage, but search only needs bounded in-memory raw `rg` stdout before producing the model-facing artifact. `saveText()` is sufficient for the formatted search result.
+
+**Rely on the generic `dsh-spill-policy`.** Rejected: generic post-execute spill sees only the final tool result. If `grep` / `glob` return the first page inline, the generic policy cannot recover omitted results. The search tools must save the complete formatted result themselves before returning the bounded model-facing text.
+
+**Expose Claude Code's full `GrepTool` schema.** Rejected for v1: `output_mode`, context flags, multiline, `head_limit`, `offset`, `case_insensitive`, and type filters make the model-facing surface into a ripgrep wrapper. This harness keeps routine budgets and continuation mechanics in deployment policy and spill artifacts.
+
+**Keep early-stop search and skip formatted spill artifacts.** Rejected for this proposal: early stop is more efficient but gives the model no path to inspect later results. The chosen v1 optimizes result recoverability and implementation simplicity, with `timeoutMs`, `rawOutputMaxBytes`, bash backend caps, and formatted spill artifacts as safety backstops.
+
+**Expand the bash seam with a raw-output reader first.** Rejected: a portable `readRawOutput(ref, maxBytes)` API would add reference lifetime, permission, and backend storage semantics. A per-run `stdoutMaxBytes` request is the narrower seam: search either receives complete stdout within `rawOutputMaxBytes` or fails clearly.
+
+## Testing
+
+- Tests prove an aborted `exec.signal` reaches the bash backend (same-reference spec assertion plus the `SEARCH_ABORTED` result), and cover command construction/quoting (malicious patterns, paths with spaces, leading-dash values, quotes, newlines, glob metacharacters — unit assertions plus a real `bash -c` round-trip for every hostile value), `grep.path` as file and directory targets, `glob.path` as a directory search root, invalid pattern handling, no matches, malformed `rg --json` output, matched-line preview truncation, raw-output overflow, timeout/abort, formatted spill success/failure, the package-owned `SEARCH_*` error codes, and the no-background-task invariant.
+- The first-party tool-owned spill precedent is covered directly: spill backend present, spill backend absent, `saveText()` failure, and missing spill owner.
+- The package has real Loader-path coverage for the namespace plugin export shape (`name`, `inject`, `Config`, and `apply`, with no default export).
+- A real-executor integration suite (`dsh-bash-local` + a real `rg`) verifies the world: hostile patterns stay inert, per-session cwd resolution, VCS-metadata exclusion, modification-time ordering, and real ripgrep stderr classification. It self-skips where `rg` is not on PATH (a CI accommodation mirroring the keyless e2e skip); the fake-executor suite alone carries the per-file 100% coverage gate.
+- Snapshot gap note for the transcript-visible spill notice: this landed with the gap note, not a snapshot. The snapshot tier replays the acp-agent tree, and adding the search plugin there changes the assembled system prompt — every golden would need re-recording with a real key, which the implementing environment did not hold. The spill notice's exact transcript text is pinned by unit tests (`formatGlobOutput`/`formatGrepOutput` and the through-the-registry spill tests); wiring the plugin into the acp-agent tree plus a `test:snapshot:record` pass is the follow-up for the next key-holding session.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- `glob` and `grep` are model-facing tools in `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-fs-search`, not `ctx.fs` provider methods and not part of the existing `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-fs` root plugin. The package injects `tools`, `systemPrompt`, and `bash`; it does not inject `fs`, and `ctx.spillStore` stays optional via `ctx.get('spillStore')`.
+- The schemas are exactly `glob(pattern, path?)` and `grep(pattern, path?, include?)`; search caps and timeout are defaulted, validated Config fields (`globMaxResults`, `grepMaxMatches`, `grepMaxLineBytes`, `rawOutputMaxBytes`, `timeoutMs`).
+- The tools execute through `ctx.bash.resolve(request)` → `ctx.bash.run(spec)`, forward `exec.signal`, never call `ctx.bash.start()`, and never expose a bash task id. The bash request workdir comes from `exec.agent?.session.header.cwd` when available; the resolved `spec.workdir` drives execution and relative-path display.
+- The tools request `stdoutMaxBytes: rawOutputMaxBytes` from the bash seam, parse only untruncated stdout within that cap, and treat over-cap or still-truncated raw output as a clear search failure; raw `rg` output is never exposed to the model.
+- Oversized complete formatted results are saved through `ctx.spillStore.saveText()` when available while inline results stay bounded; spill failure, a missing backend, or a missing owner preserves the inline result and reports the unsaved remainder — never an `isError`.
+- The package README, the generated config catalog, and exported JSDoc document the Config fields and `SEARCH_*` codes; the coding-agent example ships the tools (the acp-agent tree waits on the snapshot re-record above); the fs group README records the co-located bash/filesystem deployment requirement.
+
+## Risks
+
+Full-run `grep` can be slower than an early-stop search on broad patterns. The v1 accepts that cost for simpler implementation and complete-result recovery, bounded by tool timeout, bash timeout, `rawOutputMaxBytes`, and output caps. If this proves too slow, the direct-ripgrep or foreground-streaming alternatives remain available.
+
+Shell command construction is the sharpest safety edge. Because `ctx.bash` accepts a command string rather than an argv vector, the implementation must centralize shell quoting and test malicious patterns, paths with spaces, leading-dash patterns, quotes, newlines, and glob metacharacters.
+
+The v1 assumes a co-located bash/filesystem deployment. If bash searches one workspace and the `read` tool resolves paths against another, returned paths may not be follow-up-readable. The package documents this requirement but does not verify it at runtime.
+
+Spill locators are backend-owned. The current local backend returns local filesystem paths and works in deployments where `read`/`grep` can open those files; remote or workspace-confined deployments can use a backend whose locator and retrieval hint point at a supported retrieval mechanism.

+# RFC: Expose agent session identity and JSONL location to tools and hooks
+
+Status: implemented
+
+## Problem
+
+An agent can identify its workspace through `session.header.cwd`, but a model using bash cannot reliably identify the session that owns the call or the durable transcript that records it. Searching `./.sessions` guesses deployment config and JSONL layout; custom roots, alternate persistence backends, resume, forks, and concurrent parent/child agents make that guess unreliable. Hooks have the same need for transcript location, while future plugins may need to expose other harness-owned environment facts to shell commands.
+
+The boundary must preserve two properties: the owner of a fact decides how to resolve it, and every child receives a per-execution snapshot rather than process-global mutable state. In particular, a nested harness must not leak its ambient `DSH_*` values into a child whose current agent, persistence backend, or configuration differs.
+
+## Decision
+
+Extend the [`SessionPersistence`](../../implemented/architecture/2026-06-14-session-persistence.md) seam with a synchronous, side-effect-free location query:
+
+```ts
+import type { SessionHeader } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-session'
+
+interface SessionLocation {
+  readonly kind: string
+  readonly path: string
+}
+
+interface SessionPersistence {
+  locate(meta: SessionHeader): SessionLocation | undefined
+}
+```
+
+`path` is an absolute local path to the backend's dedicated log for `meta`; `kind` identifies the representation. JSONL returns `{ kind: 'jsonl', path }` using its resolved root and path helpers. SQLite and any backend without an honest local per-session artifact return `undefined`. The query creates and flushes nothing, so it can report a lazy target path before that file exists.
+
+The model-facing bash package owns a `ctx.bashEnv` registry. A contributor declares its stable name, every `DSH_*` key it may return, a description for each key, and `resolve(execution: ToolExecution)`. Duplicate contributor names, duplicate key ownership, reserved keys, malformed declarations, undeclared runtime output, and non-string output fail loudly. Registration is a Cordis effect and is removed with the contributing plugin fiber. `list()` exposes declarations without running resolvers, keeping the environment surface enumerable for diagnostics and future prompt/UI consumers.
+
+The registry rebuilds a trusted overlay for every foreground and background bash `ToolExecution`:
+
+- `DSH_HOME` is always the absolute configured Harness home. The standalone [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-home`](../../../../packages/util/home/README.md) utility owns its precedence: explicit `dshHome`, then ambient `$DSH_HOME`, then `~/.dsh`.
+- `DSH_SHELL=1` is always present and identifies a model bash child managed by DeepSeek Harness.
+- `DSH_SESSION_ID` is present when the execution has an agent and equals `agent.session.header.id`.
+- The built-in persistence translator contributes `DSH_SESSION_JSONL` only when `ctx.sessionPersistence.locate(header)` returns `kind: 'jsonl'`.
+
+Session persistence remains the fact owner: JSONL does not depend on tool-bash or register shell variables itself, and hooks continue to consume `locate()` directly. Tool-bash is the translation layer from the persistence fact into a shell convention. Other plugins that need shell-visible facts depend on the registry and register their own keys; they do not modify `process.env`.
+
+The bash seam exports `DSH_ENV_PREFIX` as the single namespace source and derives `DshEnvironmentKey` from its `typeof`. Tool-bash derives built-in names and model guidance from that constant, while executors use it for filtering and channel validation. The seam carries the managed overlay separately as `BashExecRequest.dshEnv` / `BashExecSpec.dshEnv`. Ordinary `env` remains the general in-process plugin surface used by hooks, but cannot contain managed keys; symmetrically, `dshEnv` cannot contain ordinary keys. The local executor rejects either wrong channel before spawn, removes every inherited ambient managed key, applies its ordinary scrub/terminal environment/explicit `env`, and finally merges the trusted `dshEnv` snapshot. This guarantees that a missing value means absent now rather than inherited from an outer or previous harness. The model-facing tool still ignores model-supplied `env`/`stdin` arguments.
+
+The bash tool description teaches only the durable convention: current harness environment facts are available through managed `$DSH_*` variables and may be inspected when needed. It does not enumerate persistence-specific keys or add a permanent system-prompt section. Tool schemas are already logged in request headers and tool output is logged as `tool/result`, so no new session event is required.
+
+The [Claude Code and Codex hook bridges](../../implemented/feature/2026-06-30-hook-bridges.md) resolve transcript location from the same persistence seam when constructing payloads. Codex uses `transcript_path: string | null`; Claude Code preserves its string field and falls back to `''`. Hook lookup neither materializes nor flushes a session.
+
+## Peer product findings
+
+Peer products separate stable identity from physical storage. Codex injects stable `CODEX_THREAD_ID` into spawned shells while recorder and hook surfaces own transcript paths. Claude Code supplies `session_id` and `transcript_path` as structured hook/status input. OpenCode carries identity in structured tool context; Kimi Code expands a session placeholder; Reasonix keeps the active session path on its controller. The portable rule is to inject identity at the invocation boundary, let storage resolve location, and never use a process-global current-session variable in a concurrent harness.
+
+## Lifecycle and persistence semantics
+
+A fresh session receives its id before the first turn, so its first bash call can read `DSH_SESSION_ID` and a JSONL target. The JSONL file may still be absent until the first successful turn-end checkpoint, and during an open turn it contains only the last flushed prefix. `DSH_SESSION_JSONL` is a location hint, not an authorization credential or freshness guarantee.
+
+Resume reuses the loaded header and therefore the same id and location. Fork and spawn create new session ids and locations. Parent and child calls resolve from their own `ToolExecution.agent`; each command receives an immutable snapshot even when calls overlap. A persistence service replacement affects later collections because the translator queries `ctx.get('sessionPersistence')` at execution time; the registry itself is effect-scoped and HMR-safe.
+
+`dshHome` is session-independent deployment context. Agent-core resolves one value through `@deepseek-ai/dsh-home` and routes it to both tool-bash and local skill discovery; standalone consumers call the same resolver. If top-level `dshHome` and `skills.local.dshHome` are both supplied and resolve differently, composition fails instead of exposing contradictory homes. Persistence may change independently without freezing its facts into the session prefix.
+
+## Testing
+
+Unit coverage pins registry declaration validation, effect disposal, per-execution collection, the `dshHome` precedence, and the local executor's `DSH_*` scrub/rebuild order. Request-recording tests cover foreground/background snapshots, no-agent calls, absent/JSONL persistence, ignored model `env`, and parent/child isolation. JSONL/SQLite locator contract tests and both hook bridge suites pin available and unavailable transcript dialects.
+
+A keyless full-loop integration drives the real agent loop, JSONL persistence, tool-bash, and bash-local on the first turn. The child prints `DSH_HOME`, `DSH_SHELL`, session id, JSONL target, and an inherited stale sentinel; the test verifies current values, absence of the stale variable, pre-flush file absence, and the eventual persisted header. Snapshot coverage pins the generic bash description in the recorded request header. No with-key test is required because the contract is deterministic local execution rather than model choice.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Only an id plus `find`.** Search cannot know a custom root or backend layout and races under multiple sessions.
+
+**Only an absolute path.** A path can be unavailable, lazy, or representation-specific and is not stable session identity.
+
+**Global `process.env`.** Concurrent agents would overwrite one another and nested harnesses would inherit stale current-session values.
+
+**Put persistence instructions in the session prefix.** A session prefix is frozen while the active service can change across HMR or future backend switching; persistence-specific guidance would become stale.
+
+**A typed waterfall event.** Listeners cannot declare ownership without running, and later listeners can silently overwrite keys. A registry detects key conflicts at registration and remains enumerable.
+
+**Have each persistence backend register bash env directly.** That reverses the dependency from storage into one consumer and forces bash into deployments that do not use it. `locate()` is also still required by hooks.
+
+**A model-facing `session_info` tool.** It adds schema and another call while bash already supplies the query surface; the registry generalizes to future environment facts without one tool per fact.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Every model bash child receives current Harness home and shell identity, and agent calls additionally receive stable session identity. JSONL-backed calls get an optional target path; non-file persistence omits it honestly. The complete `DSH_*` namespace inside these children is managed by the harness: ambient values are removed, current trusted values are re-added, and ordinary callers cannot use `env` to bypass ownership checks.
+
+The namespace is discoverable but not secret. Paths can reveal configured roots, lazy targets can be absent or stale, and a command can override variables inside its own shell syntax. Consumers treat them as correlation and environment facts, verify transcript metadata when attribution matters, and rely on sandbox/filesystem policy rather than variable secrecy for authorization.

-- **Include lineage, provenance, and generic filters in phase one** — rejected because no current consumer requires them and canonical logs remain sufficient to add them with evidence later.
 
 ## Consequences
 
-Phase one has one source-resolution state variable: the currently mounted persistence service. There are no provider queues, fingerprints, extractor registries, observation generations, or derived index updates. Exact reads remain usable in live-only deployments and deterministic when persistence is present.

+# RFC: Session query relationship tracing
+
+Status: implemented
+
+## Problem
+
+Session relationships are encoded across immutable headers, positional surface operations, and logged provenance arrays. A consumer reconstructing those relationships directly would need to duplicate corpus precedence, surface folding, malformed-log handling, deterministic lineage ordering, and cloning. Positional replacement and provenance are different graphs, so collapsing them into one generic edge type would also lose meaning.
+
+## Decision
+
+`ctx.sessionQuery` exposes `traceSession(sessionId)` and `traceEvent({ sessionId, seq })` alongside its exact reads. Both are one-shot views over the existing live-preferred corpus: session tracing consumes one complete corpus listing, while event tracing consumes one loaded logical log and one canonical surface fold. The service retains no lineage, reverse-index, or replacement state after a call.
+
+`SessionLineageTrace` returns the target, known parents in immediate-to-outward order, and recursive descendant trees whose siblings sort by creation time and then session id. `complete: true` carries the known root; `complete: false` carries the first unresolved parent id. A cycle connected to the target fails with `SESSION_QUERY_INVALID_LINEAGE`.
+
+`SessionEventTrace` keeps positional and provenance relationships separate. `replacedBy` is the immediate positional replacer, `replacementChain` follows replacers to the final node, and `replacedEventSeqs` lists the actual surface nodes directly removed by the target. `sourceEventSeqs` preserves direct logged source order, while `derivedEventSeqs` lists later direct reverse references in log order. Provenance is not expanded transitively.
+
+## Validation boundary
+
+Event tracing checks target existence before surface analysis. Both event listing and tracing then use `dsh-session`'s one-pass surface fold, which accepts or rejects the loaded log as a whole: event seqs are zero-based and contiguous, surface markers obey event-type eligibility, provenance belongs only to surface event types, present arrays are nonempty and duplicate-free, every source is an earlier seq, and every positional replacement names and cites all surface nodes it removes. Every contract failure uses `SESSION_QUERY_INVALID_SURFACE`; there is no weaker classification-only surface standard.
+
+All returned records and arrays are detached. A known live event trace never consults persistence; persisted event traces preserve the exact-read list/load consistency check. Session lineage is necessarily a cross-corpus operation and therefore preserves cross-corpus persistence failure semantics.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **Expose standalone tracing helpers** — rejected because the source-precedence and detachment boundary belongs to `ctx.sessionQuery`; public helpers would invite callers to bypass it.
+- **Combine replacement and provenance edges** — rejected because a positional replacement can shadow surface nodes while also citing non-surface construction inputs, and consumers need to distinguish those meanings.
+- **Return transitive provenance closure** — rejected because it obscures logged direct evidence, increases result size, and lets one malformed distant edge alter otherwise local output.
+- **Best-effort traces over malformed provenance** — rejected because a structurally plausible partial graph would look authoritative. Exact inspection fails loudly when the canonical relationship contract is broken.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Consumers receive deterministic relationship views without a cache or second corpus. Event tracing performs whole-log validation and allocation on each call, while lineage tracing lists the complete logical corpus on each call. Those costs keep the source of truth explicit and are separate from the content-bearing full-text-search and filtering API.
+
+The feature has unit and service-level coverage but no snapshot or end-to-end fixture because it introduces no model-facing consumer, transcript change, or cross-process protocol.

Without elapsed time, the model cannot distinguish an immediate follow-up from one sent hours after the preceding message.

+Status: implemented

+
+## Problem
+
+A request-only clock can tell the model the current time, but replacing that value in the system prompt removes the evidence behind earlier time-sensitive reasoning. Multi-step turns need requests to retain the readings that shaped preceding steps. The request must remain reconstructable after restart, and automatic compaction must account for the same timing context the model receives.
+
+A process-local refresh cache makes displayed time depend on state that cannot survive resume or be reconstructed from the durable session. Durable interval scheduling can reduce append frequency without introducing that hidden state.
+
+## Decision
+
+`@deepseek-ai/dsh-time-context` is an opt-in function plugin in `packages/context/time-context/`. It registers a prepended `agent/pre-step` listener and, when an injection is due, calls `agent.inject()` for a pre-step attempt whose signal is not already aborted. The injected `context/message` carries source `{ kind: 'plugin', plugin: 'time-context' }` and append surface metadata; a suppressed attempt appends nothing.
+
+The listener records preparation context before a possible `step/start`. Its prepended registration runs before ordinary automatic compaction listeners, so pressure estimation and any resulting surface rewrite observe a newly appended reading. A later pre-step listener can cancel or fail the attempt before the step opens; the reading remains because the durable log is append-only and this plugin performs no rollback.
+
+The optional `timeZone` config resolves the Node process's IANA zone once at plugin load when omitted; an explicit value is validated by `Intl.DateTimeFormat`. The timestamp includes the numeric UTC offset and resolved IANA zone.
+
+The optional `refreshIntervalMs` config is manually validated at plugin load as a non-negative safe integer. Omission or `0` injects on every eligible preparation attempt. A positive value scans the raw session events for the most recent `context/message` with this plugin's source and injects when none exists, wall time moved backward, or the event is at least the configured age. The raw event timestamp governs even after compaction shadows the message, so scheduling persists across turns and process resume without a timer or process-local cache.
+
+### Text and elapsed baselines
+
+An injected first-step reading is:
+
+```text
+Time sampled while preparing turn <turn>, step 1: <timestamp>
+Elapsed since the preceding model-visible message: <duration-or-unavailable>.
+```
+
+The baseline is the latest preceding user, assistant, tool-result, context, or steering message. This includes the accepted prompt that opened an ordinary message turn. If no model-visible message exists, the duration is `unavailable`.
+
+An injected later-step reading is:
+
+```text
+Time sampled while preparing turn <turn>, step <step>: <timestamp>
+Elapsed since the preceding step context: <duration-or-unavailable>.
+```
+
+Their baseline is the durable event timestamp of the preceding time-context message in the same turn. If interval suppression leaves no earlier same-turn reading, the duration is `unavailable`. Duration formatting uses compact whole-second units and clamps backward wall-clock movement to zero. The explicit turn and step make every retained reading attributable to its historical preparation attempt after later turns append more context.
+
+### Durability and request reconstruction
+
+Each reading remains a normal surface node until compaction shadows it; positive interval scheduling never removes existing readings. A later request therefore sees the cumulative unshadowed readings that affected earlier preparation and steps, rather than a system-prompt value rewritten in place.
+
+The plugin contributes nothing to system-prompt assembly. `request/header` contains no time-context text; request reconstruction obtains the complete durable surface prefix at each `step/start`. Readings and requests need not map one-to-one because a failed preparation can leave a reading while interval suppression can prepare a request without appending one. The plugin depends on the agent registry for its lifecycle listener and does not require the system-prompt service at runtime.
+
+## Testing
+
+Unit and real-loop tests pin formatting, both elapsed baselines, interval omission and zero, threshold boundaries, cross-turn and per-session scheduling, backward-clock behavior, invalid config, resumed raw-event lookup after compaction, aborted-signal behavior, later-listener cancellation and failure, listener disposal, source and surface metadata, cumulative multi-step visibility, and absence from request headers. A keyless subprocess e2e boots the real Loader and stdio app, drives two turns, and verifies the persisted context events externally.
+
+## Supersedes
+
+This decision supersedes the dynamic system-prompt storage and refresh policy in [Optional time-context plugin](2026-07-14-time-context-plugin.md). It keeps the package location, opt-in deployment stance, timestamp formatting, process-zone default, and load-time validation. Durable history replaces the `context:time` prompt section, process-local refresh cache, and request-header deltas; `refreshIntervalMs` controls durable append frequency instead of prompt replacement.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **Keep the dynamic system-prompt section and process-local refresh cache** — rejected because replacement erases earlier readings, cache state is not replayable, and a frozen request envelope would make the value stale for an entire loop instance.
+- **Replace the preceding context surface node** — rejected because replacement preserves the old node's position or shadows intervening conversation; neither represents when the new reading became visible.
+- **Inject from a background timer** — rejected because idle time has no pending request to consume the value, and timer-driven injection would create durable turns solely to report time passing.
+- **Expose time only through a tool** — rejected because ordinary temporal reasoning would require an avoidable tool round trip and would not guarantee a reading before every step.
+- **Use `agent/session-prefix`** — rejected because one loop-instance prefix cannot represent distinct step timestamps and does not accumulate historically attributable readings.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Omission or `0` records every eligible preparation attempt; a positive interval reduces append frequency and history growth while preserving durable scheduling across resume.
+- Timing context remains append-only until compaction shadows older surface nodes, including a preparation reading left by a later cancellation or failure.
+- The first-step duration normally measures from the prompt that opened the turn, while later-step durations measure model and tool processing since the preceding step context.
+- An omitted `timeZone` still reflects the deployment process rather than a remote user, and elapsed time still uses durable harness append boundaries rather than client-origin timestamps.

+
+## 问题
+
+仅存在于请求中的时钟可以告诉模型当前时间，但在系统提示词中替换这个值会移除先前时效性推理所依据的证据。在包含多个步骤的轮次中，请求需要保留影响先前步骤的读数。系统必须能在重启后重建请求，自动压缩（compaction）也必须核算模型实际收到的同一份时间上下文。
+
+进程本地刷新缓存使显示的时间依赖无法在恢复后保留、也无法从持久会话重建的状态。持久的间隔调度可以减少追加频率，而不引入这种隐藏状态。
+
+## 决策
+
+`@deepseek-ai/dsh-time-context` 是位于 `packages/context/time-context/`、需要显式启用的函数插件。它注册一个前置的 `agent/pre-step` 监听器，并在需要注入时，为信号尚未取消的预步骤尝试调用 `agent.inject()`。注入的 `context/message` 携带来源 `{ kind: 'plugin', plugin: 'time-context' }` 和追加表层元数据；受间隔抑制的尝试不会追加任何内容。
+
+监听器在可能出现的 `step/start` 之前记录准备上下文。它采用前置注册，因此先于普通自动压缩监听器运行，使压力估算和由此产生的表层重写都能观察到新追加的读数。后续预步骤监听器可能在步骤开启前取消尝试或使其失败；持久日志仅追加，且本插件不执行回滚，因此该读数会保留下来。
+
+省略可选配置 `timeZone` 时，插件在加载时解析一次 Node 进程的 IANA 时区；显式值由 `Intl.DateTimeFormat` 校验。时间戳包含数字 UTC 偏移和解析后的 IANA 时区。
+
+插件在加载时手动校验可选配置 `refreshIntervalMs`，其值必须为非负安全整数。省略或设为 `0` 时，每次符合条件的准备尝试都会注入。设为正数时，插件扫描原始会话事件，查找来源属于本插件的最新 `context/message`；不存在此类事件、系统挂钟向后移动，或该事件已达到配置时长时，插件执行注入。即使压缩已隐藏消息，调度仍以原始事件时间戳为准，因此该机制无需计时器或进程本地缓存，也能跨轮次和进程恢复持续生效。
+
+### 文本与时长基线
+
+第一个步骤的注入读数为：
+
+```text
+Time sampled while preparing turn <turn>, step 1: <timestamp>
+Elapsed since the preceding model-visible message: <duration-or-unavailable>.
+```
+
+基线是前一条用户消息、助手消息、工具结果、上下文消息或 steering（中途引导）消息。对于普通消息轮次，这包括开启轮次的已接受提示词。如果不存在模型可见消息，时长为 `unavailable`。
+
+后续步骤的注入读数为：
+
+```text
+Time sampled while preparing turn <turn>, step <step>: <timestamp>
+Elapsed since the preceding step context: <duration-or-unavailable>.
+```
+
+其基线是同一轮次中上一条时间上下文消息的持久事件时间戳。如果间隔抑制导致同一轮次中没有更早的读数，时长为 `unavailable`。时长采用紧凑的整秒单位，并在系统挂钟向后移动时钳制为零。显式的轮次号和步骤号使每个保留的读数在后续轮次追加更多上下文后，仍可归属于对应的历史准备尝试。
+
+### 持久性与请求重建
+
+每个读数都作为普通表层节点保留，直至压缩将其隐藏；正数间隔调度绝不会移除已有读数。因此，后续请求会看到影响先前准备过程和步骤且尚未被隐藏的累计读数，而不是一个被原地改写的系统提示词值。
+
+插件不向系统提示词组装贡献任何内容。`request/header` 不包含时间上下文文本；请求重建从每个 `step/start` 取得完整的持久表层前缀。读数与请求无需一一对应，因为失败的准备过程可能留下读数，而间隔抑制也可能使请求准备过程不追加读数。插件通过 agent 注册表使用生命周期监听器，运行时不需要系统提示词服务。
+
+## 测试
+
+单元测试和真实 agent loop（智能体循环）测试固定格式化、两种时长基线、间隔省略和零值、阈值边界、跨轮次和各会话独立调度、挂钟后退行为、无效配置、压缩后基于恢复会话的原始事件查找、已取消信号行为、后续监听器取消和失败、监听器 dispose（资源释放）、来源与表层元数据、多步骤累计可见性，以及请求头中不存在时间上下文。无密钥子进程 e2e 测试通过真实 Loader 和 stdio 应用启动，驱动两个轮次，并从外部校验持久化的上下文事件。
+
+## 取代的决策
+
+本决策取代[可选时间上下文插件](2026-07-14-time-context-plugin.md)中的动态系统提示词存储和刷新策略。它保留包位置、选择加入式部署、时间戳格式、进程时区默认值和加载时校验。持久历史取代 `context:time` 提示词区段、进程本地刷新缓存和请求头增量；`refreshIntervalMs` 用于控制持久追加频率，而非提示词替换。
+
+## 考虑过的替代方案
+
+- **保留动态系统提示词区段和进程本地刷新缓存**——不予采纳，因为替换会抹去先前读数，缓存状态无法回放，而且冻结的请求内容集合会使该值在整个 agent loop 实例期间保持陈旧。
+- **替换前一条上下文表层节点**——不予采纳，因为替换会保留旧节点的位置或隐藏中间的会话内容；两者都不能表达新读数何时开始可见。
+- **通过后台计时器注入**——不予采纳，因为空闲期间没有待处理请求消费该值，而且计时器驱动的注入会仅为报告时间流逝而创建持久轮次。
+- **只通过工具提供时间**——不予采纳，因为普通时间推理会产生本可避免的工具往返，也不能保证每个步骤之前都有读数。
+- **使用 `agent/session-prefix`**——不予采纳，因为一个 loop 实例前缀无法表示不同的步骤时间戳，也不会累计具有历史归属的读数。
+
+## 后果
+
+- 省略 `refreshIntervalMs` 或设为 `0` 时，每次符合条件的准备尝试都会留下记录；正数间隔会减少追加频率和历史增长，同时使持久调度在恢复后继续生效。

+# RFC: Simplify session-log representation
+
+Status: implemented
+
+## Problem
+
+The session log maintains two representations that cost more machinery than their consumers require: a pseudo-linked surface and custom request-header deltas.
+
+`SurfaceManager` stores the same order in an array, a seq map, and mutable `prev`/`next` links. Production never reads either link: compact's tool-pairing balance answers from per-cut balances cached in surface order. Replacement already uses `indexOf`, so the links do not make its dominant operation constant-time. A seq array with linear replacement lookup has the same asymptotic replacement cost and one representation to validate.
+
+The request-header subsystem implements a custom system/tool delta codec and transmission-decision layer even though its contract says deltas are an encoding optimization, not a reconstructability requirement. Retaining the initial/resume full snapshot at each loop-instance boundary, then writing a canonical full `request/header` whenever that instance's assembled header changes, preserves replay while deleting `SystemDelta`, `ToolsDelta`, round-trip fallback, and the durable `request/header-delta` variant. Codec-only vocabulary disappears with the codec, not because its individual arms were invalid.
+
+The implementation retains append and replacement `sourceEventSeqs`, crash-repair provenance, and all `SessionStartSource` variants because those fields have an audit/interception role that zero current readers does not overturn.
+
+## Decision
+
+`SurfaceManager.nodes` is a `readonly number[]` of event sequences; the public `SurfaceNode` shape, node links, and seq-to-node map are removed. The internal replace-generation signal remains. The complete `foldSurface()` read used by session-query returns the same number-array representation plus replacement metadata without making the incremental manager retain history. Tool-pairing balance and compaction use event sequences and surface positions; the compact-owned per-cut balance cache does not depend on node links.
+
+Request headers use canonical full snapshots only. Initial and resume anchors remain full snapshots even when unchanged; an in-instance change appends another full `request/header` with reason `change`. The delta event, codec types, diff/apply helpers, and codec-only `fallback` reason are removed. Request reconstruction selects the latest snapshot.
+
+`SESSION_FORMAT_VERSION` remains pinned at `0`, so seed, append, and persistence-load validation explicitly reject old v0 `request/header-delta` events and full snapshots carrying the removed `fallback` reason. There is no compatibility fold or migration. JSONL and SQLite tests pin this fail-loud boundary, and the ACP snapshot harness represents legitimate mid-session changes as full pinned headers and full readable prompts.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Keep linked nodes and compact deltas for possible scale.** Links could help a future cursor API, and deltas can reduce logs when large tool schemas change by a small amount. No shipped cursor uses the links, while full snapshots trade disk size for substantially simpler correctness. If header volume proves material, compression or a measured canonical-delta scheme can be designed around real traces.
+
+## Verification
+
+Unit coverage pins ordered-surface append/replace behavior, tool pairing, compaction, full-header folding/logging, request reconstruction, and dev invariants. Seed validation plus JSONL and SQLite load tests reject the legacy event before replay. The keyless ACP suite exercises record, refresh, replay, changed-header pinning, and the sandbox mode-switch fixture in the new shape.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Full headers increase log volume, and linear replacement lookup could be slower on very large surfaces. Replacements were already linear because the prior implementation called `indexOf`; benchmarks are deferred until real traces show the simpler array is a bottleneck. The format version remains `0`, so explicit legacy-event rejection is a permanent part of the pre-release format boundary. In return, surface order and request-header state each have one representation, deleting link maintenance, maps, codec arms, round-trip fallback, and delta-aware snapshot normalization.

+# RFC: Recallable compaction — index checkpoints, a state checkpoint, and in-session history recall
+
+Status: proposed
+
+## Problem
+
+Compaction is a one-way door. The summary the model sees carries no reference to what it shadows — the `shadowedRange` provenance lives only on the log-only `compact/summary` event — and no tool lets the model read a shadowed span back. Whatever the summarizer drops is gone from the model's reachable world, even though the append-only log holds every byte. Repeated compaction compounds this: the head checkpoint is rewritten every pass, so the request prefix takes a full prompt-cache miss each time, and earlier summaries are re-summarized generation after generation.
+
+The root cause is one artifact playing two conflicting roles. An **index** wants to be frozen, chronological, and cheap; the model's **working memory** wants a global view, re-prioritization, and mutability. A single summary can be neither well.
+
+No mainstream coding harness gives the model in-loop recall, and none of the surveyed implementations makes compaction prefix-cache-aware. An event-sourced session — originals durable, seq-addressable, replay-exact — is the natural substrate for both.
+
+## Proposal
+
+Split the checkpoint into two classes and make shadowed history reachable.
+
+### Frozen index checkpoints
+
+Newly stale history splits into chunks by deterministic policy: accumulate toward `chunkTokens`, snap edges with `toolPairingBalancedBefore` / `toolPairingBalancedAfter`, prefer turn boundaries, and place the final boundary as close to the retain boundary as balance allows, so the trailing slice shrinks to roughly one turn. Each chunk is compacted by one `compactRegion` call into an **index stub** (`stubTokens`, ~100–200 tokens):
+
+- two or three lines of what happened;
+- a keyword line of low-frequency literal anchors — exact error strings, values, config keys — grouped by kind;
+- a code-composed footer: `[checkpoint c<summarySeq>: shadows conversation span #<start>–#<end>; originals retrievable via history_read]`. Pointers are assembled from provenance, never model-authored.
+
+A committed stub is never rewritten and never re-enters a later compaction region. A stub call's input is layered: the fixed preamble and the byte-identical pass-start state checkpoint (the shared prefix across all calls in the phase), then the keyword lines of all previously committed stubs — so a new entry indexes what is distinctive to its chunk instead of repeating the directory — the one or two most recent committed stubs for chronological continuity, and the slice itself. Sibling stubs from the same pass are not inputs (the concurrent phase forbids it; turn-aligned boundaries carry local continuity instead), and the state checkpoint is background only, never material to summarize into the stub. A slice consisting of recalled content is stubbed by code alone — a pointer line, no LLM call. A failed stub call degrades the same way: its slice gets a code-only pointer stub and the pass continues, making the state rewrite the only hard LLM dependency in a pass.
+
+### The state checkpoint
+
+One mutable working-memory document (at most one; zero before the first pass), positioned after all stubs and before the retained tail. Each pass rewrites it from the previous state plus this pass's staled content — O(previous + new), under the merge-don't-restate rule already in the summarization prompt — covering decisions, current state, constraints, and next steps. It carries its own footer and a size cap at the scale of today's summary.
+
+An inflation guard bounds the whole pass: if the post-compaction size is not strictly below the pre-compaction size, nothing commits and the turn proceeds; the attempt defers until more stale history accumulates. The guard compares one metric on both sides — provider-reported usage from the request path, falling back to the character estimator on both sides.
+
+### Pass execution
+
+- Chunk slices are surface position ranges. A pass runs two phases: all summarize calls execute concurrently, buffered off-surface; then regions commit strictly left to right — chunks first, trailing slice last — so the state checkpoint lands after every stub through contiguous single-node replaces. Wall-clock stays near one summarize call.
+- The superseded state checkpoint folds into the next pass's first chunk as ordinary history: no tombstone, no new primitive. Its stub omits it, `history_read` renders it labeled `[prior state checkpoint]`, and its footer travels with the rendered text, keeping every trailing slice reachable through the two-hop chain.
+- Range selection is frozen-aware: the compactable span begins after the last committed index checkpoint, at the surface head only when none exists. A legacy session's existing head checkpoint is adopted as state-class — its text the merge base, its node folded like any superseded state.
+- A crash in the summarize phase commits nothing; a crash mid-commit leaves a left-to-right prefix committed, and the resumed pass reads its merge base from the log's latest state-class `compact/summary` event and commits the remaining regions unconditionally — restoring `[stubs…][state][tail]` outranks shrinking.
+
+### The recall tools
+
+A new package `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-recall` (consumer-only, over the `dsh-session` and `dsh-compact` vocabularies) registers two model-facing tools:
+
+- `history_read(checkpoint, offset?)` — renders the shadowed span of any checkpoint in the log, including superseded ones, as `User:`/`Assistant:`/`Tool result:` transcript, paginated by a configured budget with a continuation cursor.
+- `history_search(query, checkpoint?, limit?)` — case-insensitive literal scan over every shadowed span; returns snippets with checkpoint ids and coverage metadata (`scanned`/`matched`/`truncated`). The zero-match hint notes the scan is literal and points at direct `history_read` of a plausible checkpoint.
+
+Both read `exec.agent.session.events` (the tool-todo access pattern; non-agent callers rejected), render only surface-type message events, and return ordinary `tool/result`s — recalled bytes land at the context tail, logged, so reconstructability holds with no special casing. There is no new storage and no sidecar index: the session log is the archive, `compact/summary` provenance is the index metadata, and the tools are a read path over both. The tool schemas and the package's one system-prompt section are static strings; checkpoint ids reach the model only through footers. The transcript renderer moves from `compact-basic` into `dsh-session`, shared by summarizer and tools.
+
+### Cache and cost
+
+The request prefix after a pass is `[system][stubs…][state][tail]`. Frozen stubs are byte-stable across passes, so the miss begins at the token replacing the previous state checkpoint and stays O(new chunks + state + tail) — against position zero today. Recall output lands at the tail, leaving the prefix untouched. Per-pass summarize input is roughly twice today's plus an m·S background term, bounded by a `chunkTokens` floor (a small multiple of the state cap) and a validated `stubTokens`/`chunkTokens` ratio ceiling; a shared-prefix input layout (preamble, then the byte-identical pass-start state, slice content in the tail) lets sibling calls earn cached-rate rereads.
+
+### Packaging
+
+The design ships as a new backend `dsh-compact-recallable` on the existing `ctx.compact` seam, enabled by default in the shipped example configs; `compact-basic` remains as the reference implementation and the seam's design twin, in the pattern of the paired LLM adapters. The seam JSDoc's "at most one auto-generated checkpoint, always at the head" clause is relaxed to name both backend behaviors.
+
+### Relation to in-flight work
+
+- **Tool-result pruning** (the in-flight pruning service): its replacement nodes carry `sourceEventSeqs`; the same registry fold lists pruned results as recallable. Follow-up scope; neither blocks the other.
+- **Provider-usage token accounting** (the in-flight move of compaction pressure onto provider-reported usage): supplies the guard's accounting; the implementation stacks after it.
+- **"Query sessions" backlog item**: the cross-session generalization; this RFC scopes to the live session with tool names and rendering chosen so that work extends rather than collides.
+- **Training**: when to recall is a learned behavior. The deterministic footers and keyword anchors give training a stable target, and recall usage is fully visible in the session log for trajectory export; benchmark and RL design proceed with the post-training side.
+
+### Follow-ups
+
+Specified during review, deferred until observation calls for them:
+
+- Guard degradation ladder (code-only rollup of the oldest stub prefix, footers preserved, rolled-up ids remain recall targets; then one summary after the frozen boundary) — on observed guard livelock or stub-region pressure.
+- Echo detection on stub outputs (sentence-scale n-grams, short literals exempt, retry then strip) — on observed division-of-labor leakage.
+- Periodic state refresh from chunk originals — on observed drift in the handoff probe.
+- `stateFallbackThreshold` (full-detail state prompt below a stub count) — on short-session regression.
+- Lazy registration of the recall tools — on measured context tax in never-compacting sessions.
+- Amortized stub drafting at pre-step: as soon as stale-but-uncompacted content accumulates past `chunkTokens`, draft that chunk's stub at the next pre-step (a log-only draft event, written while the chunk's surrounding context is still live) and let the compaction pass commit drafts instead of summarizing in bulk — the deterministic, replay-exact equivalent of background compaction (the Claude Code session-memory pattern; OpenClaw demonstrates the synchronous semantics are identical). Trigger: observed pass latency, or stub-quality gains from drafting near-live proving out.
+- Split summarizer models; model-chosen chunk boundaries; cross-session recall; semantic search fallback — each behind its own evidence.
+- Richer `history_search` query forms — regex, and structured queries over logged JSON tool results (sql/jq-style, or agent-authored queries against an indexed store) — on demand from observed search misses; literal matching ships first because the recall path stays a pure function of the log.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **Staged delivery** (ship recall tools alone over today's backend; gate the checkpoint split on observed recall usage) — rejected: untrained models under-use any new tool, so the gate would measure training absence rather than design value, while the training side needs the complete mechanism to build environments against; the pre-release window is when persisted-format changes are cheapest; and the cache economics are first-party knowledge, not a hypothesis awaiting telemetry. The implementation still lands as stacked PRs with the recall tools first — construction order, not a decision gate.
+- **All-frozen full-size summaries, no state checkpoint** — rejected: unbounded permanent-prefix growth, self-accelerating toward thrashing, with nothing left to re-prioritize.
+- **Pure stubs, no state checkpoint** — rejected: presumes the model knows what it is missing; fails on unknown unknowns.
+- **LLM aging/consolidation of frozen chunks** — rejected as a routine mechanism: summary-of-summary loss and frozen-prefix churn; the code-only rollup is its surviving form, deferred.
+- **Full prefix as chunk-summarizer input** — rejected: O(N²); the state document gives the same background at O(state).
+- **One summarize call emitting all outputs** — rejected: the summarize path has no structured-output enforcement; parsing one free-text response apart is the fragile seam the fail-closed design avoids.
+- **Model-chosen chunk boundaries** — deferred: parse-and-validate cost against unproven value; chunk policy sits behind config.
+- **Model-authored pointers** — rejected: pointers must be exact; deterministic assembly is.
+- **FTS/vector index sidecar** — rejected in-session: the live log is in memory and bounded, a literal scan under budget suffices; an index earns its keep at cross-session scope.
+- **Semantic search fallback / secondary-model extraction in the recall path** — rejected: an LLM or embedding call there breaks keyless replay determinism; recall stays a pure function of the log.
+- **Raw events instead of rendered transcript** — rejected: leaks log-only vocabulary and chunk noise; the model reads what a model once saw.
+- **Doing nothing (resume/fork as recovery)** — rejected: it makes recovery a human act.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- Auto-compaction over a long session yields `[stubs…][state][tail]` after every completed pass; prior stubs stay byte-identical across passes; committed stubs never fall inside a later region; the superseded state checkpoint folds without a tombstone, renders labeled, and stays reachable and searchable through the two-hop chain.
+- Every checkpoint's surface text ends with the deterministic footer; footers round-trip through replay byte-identically; the state checkpoint's provenance records its wider input range.
+- Nothing commits before all summaries exist and the guard passes on like-for-like accounting; a guard failure commits nothing and does not fail the turn; a mid-commit kill resumed at the next pre-step completes the pass with the state region committed unconditionally, merge base read from the log; a legacy head checkpoint is adopted as state-class.
+- `history_read` renders any logged checkpoint's span under budget with a working cursor; `history_search` covers every shadowed span with checkpoint-id snippets and coverage metadata, asserted in particular by finding content that exists only in a span shadowed by a superseded state checkpoint — the regression pin for trailing-slice reachability; both reject non-agent callers and never-existing ids or orphaned `compact/start` with typed errors; recalled content appears as ordinary `tool/result`s; request-reconstruction invariants pass over sessions with compaction plus recall; one keyless snapshot scenario covers compact-then-recall end to end; tool schemas and the prompt section are byte-identical across passes.
+- On the long-horizon bench suite: task success does not regress against `compact-basic` at equal budgets; a handoff-fidelity probe (restate K known decisions and constraints after a pass) scores no worse; recall usage frequency and hit usefulness are reported per run via the dsh bench report pipeline, alongside the stub-directory attention measurement and cache-hit telemetry.
+- Seam JSDoc, the compaction capability-seam RFC, `architecture.md`, and the generated tool, config, persistence, and module-graph catalogs update in the same change; all budgets live in config; new source directories hold per-file 100% coverage with HMR disposal tests.
+
+## Risks
+
+- **Recall is a learned behavior**: untrained models will under-use it, and the bench report exists to track the gap while training closes it. Until then the state checkpoint keeps the floor at today's summary quality.
+- **Unknown unknowns remain**: a detail absent from summaries and keywords draws no recall. Recall converts "unreachable even when suspected" into "reachable when suspected".
+- **The stub directory occupies attention**: dozens of stable index cards per request may dilute focus; the bench measurement in the acceptance criteria tracks it against `compact-basic`.
+- **Cost**: per-pass summarize input is roughly twice today's; short sessions sit near today's cost and quality, and the design pays off with session length.
+- **State drift and division-of-labor leakage** are observable through the handoff probe and stub review; their counters are specified follow-ups.
+- **Two backends** are a maintenance surface; the seam contract and the shared recall consumer bound it, and the bench comparison decides the default over time.

 - A keyless end-to-end test combines a real persistence backend with the real SQLite search package.
 - The RFC is amended to the measured tokenizer and public API actually implemented before moving to `implemented/`.

-# RFC: Simplify session-log representation
-
-Status: proposed
-
-## Problem
-
-The session log maintains two representations that cost more machinery than their consumers require: a pseudo-linked surface and custom request-header deltas.
-
-`SurfaceManager` stores the same order in an array, a seq map, and mutable `prev`/`next` links. Production never reads `prev`; compact's sole `next` read is the successor of an array position. Replacement already uses `indexOf`, so the links do not make its dominant operation constant-time. A seq array with linear replacement lookup has the same asymptotic replacement cost and one representation to validate.
-
-The request-header subsystem implements a custom system/tool delta codec and transmission-decision layer even though its contract says deltas are an encoding optimization, not a reconstructability requirement. Retaining the initial/resume full snapshot at each loop-instance boundary, then writing a canonical full `request/header` whenever that instance's assembled header changes, preserves replay while deleting `SystemDelta`, `ToolsDelta`, round-trip fallback, and the durable `request/header-delta` variant. Codec-only vocabulary disappears with the codec, not because its individual arms were invalid.
-
-This proposal deliberately retains append and replacement `sourceEventSeqs`, crash-repair provenance, and all `SessionStartSource` variants: implemented RFCs give those fields an audit/interception role that zero current readers does not overturn.
-
-## Proposal
-
-Make `SurfaceManager.nodes` a `readonly number[]` of event sequences and remove the public `SurfaceNode` shape. Keep the internal replace-generation signal; update tool-pairing balance and compaction callers to use array values/indices for predecessor, successor, and replacement ranges, removing node links and the seq-to-node map. Replace post-anchor header deltas with canonical full changed-header snapshots and remove the delta codec/event/tests; initial and resume anchors remain full snapshots even when the folded header is unchanged.
-
-Amend the session-surface and reconstructable-request RFCs where they describe the removed encoding. Update event types/invariants, request logging/replay, persistence fixtures, generated catalogs, package docs, and snapshots. Replace the codec-only `fallback` reason with an explicit `change` reason for post-anchor full snapshots, distinguishing them from the retained `initial` and `resume` anchors.
-
-`SESSION_FORMAT_VERSION` is deliberately pinned at `0`, so an old v0 log containing `request/header-delta` would otherwise pass the version check and silently lose header changes after the delta fold is deleted. Seed/load validation must reject that legacy event fail-loud at the format boundary; no compatibility fold or migration is added.
-
-## Alternatives considered
-
-**Keep linked nodes and compact deltas for possible scale.** Links could help a future cursor API, and deltas can reduce logs when large tool schemas change by a small amount. No shipped cursor uses the links, while full snapshots trade disk size for substantially simpler correctness. If header volume proves material, compression or a measured canonical-delta scheme can be designed around real traces.
-
-## Acceptance criteria
-
-- `SurfaceManager.nodes` is one ordered seq array with no `SurfaceNode`, link fields, or seq-to-node map; incremental append processing and the internal replace-generation signal remain.
-- Replaying full changed-header snapshots reconstructs exactly the same requests; no header-delta event/type/codec remains.
-- A v0 seed or persisted log containing legacy `request/header-delta` is rejected before replay, with coverage for JSONL and SQLite load paths.
-- New-shape v0 JSONL/SQLite replay, provenance, crash repair, compaction, snapshots, invariants, typecheck, coverage, doc-sync, build, and hygiene pass.
-
-## Risks
-
-Full headers increase log volume, and linear replacement lookup could be slower on very large surfaces. Replacements are already linear because the implementation calls `indexOf`; benchmarks should be added only if real traces show the simpler array is a bottleneck. Because the format version remains `0`, forgetting the explicit legacy-event rejection would be silent data corruption rather than a type error; the fail-loud load test is therefore part of the proposal, not optional cleanup.
