# Capability Seams And Core Services
A service can be a core spine service, a swappable capability seam, or a bundle/composition point. The graph shows the package that owns the service declaration, known implementation packages, and packages that consume the service directly.
| `ctx.typert` | `core` | [`typert-registry`](../packages/typert/registry) | - | [`typert-loader`](../packages/typert/loader), [`api-gateway`](../packages/api/gateway) | - | Plugins register live zod contributions directly or through dsh-typert-loader; the API gateway consumes invocation descriptors and providers, while other runtime consumers query schemas and reflection metadata at their own edges. |
| `ctx.typertGateway` | `core` | [`api-gateway`](../packages/api/gateway) | - | - | - | Associates generated Remote descriptors with live Cordis services, resolves registered identities, and exposes unary calls through the shared Connection RPC carrier. |
| `ctx.sessionPersistence` | `seam` | [`session-persistence`](../packages/session/session-persistence) | [`session-persistence-jsonl`](../packages/session/session-persistence-jsonl), [`session-persistence-sqlite`](../packages/session/session-persistence-sqlite) | [`agent-loop`](../packages/core/agent-loop), [`tool-bash`](../packages/shell/tool-bash), [`hooks-claude-code`](../packages/hooks/hooks-claude-code), [`hooks-codex`](../packages/hooks/hooks-codex), [`session-query`](../packages/session-query/session-query), [`session-query-sqlite`](../packages/session-query/session-query-sqlite), [`message-feedback`](../packages/feedback/message-feedback) | - | Backends persist the same SessionEvent vocabulary; apps choose a backend at composition time. |
| `ctx.settings` | `seam` | [`settings`](../packages/settings/settings) | [`settings-file`](../packages/settings/settings-file) | [`llm-deepseek`](../packages/llm/llm-deepseek), [`llm-pi-ai`](../packages/llm/llm-pi-ai), `apiproxy` | - | Plugins register namespace schemas and resolve layered values; providers store the raw document. The LLM adapters register their entry config as the composition base under the user section; the web gateway serves redacted layered descriptors and writes the user layer. |
| `ctx.credentials` | `seam` | [`credentials`](../packages/credentials/credentials) | [`credentials-local`](../packages/credentials/credentials-local) | [`llm-deepseek`](../packages/llm/llm-deepseek), [`llm-pi-ai`](../packages/llm/llm-pi-ai), `apiproxy` | - | Configuration carries references to secrets; providers own the values. Consumers resolve per operation, so a rotated credential reaches the very next request; the web gateway exposes value-free views and write-only storage. |
| `ctx.sessionTelemetry` | `seam` | [`session-telemetry`](../packages/session/session-telemetry) | [`session-telemetry-otel`](../packages/session/session-telemetry-otel) | - | - | The seam captures, redacts, and hands session records to one backend; nothing else consumes the service — its output leaves the process. |
| `ctx.storage` | `seam` | [`storage`](../packages/storage/storage) | [`storage-json`](../packages/storage/storage-json), [`storage-sqlite`](../packages/storage/storage-sqlite) | [`storage-domain`](../packages/storage/storage-domain) | - | Backends register side by side under names; data forms (domain first) mount on the hub and translate typed operations into opaque KV-unit primitives. |
| `ctx.storageDomain` | `core` | [`storage-domain`](../packages/storage/storage-domain) | - | [`workspace`](../packages/workspace/workspace), [`message-feedback`](../packages/feedback/message-feedback) | - | Waits for every configured backend, then publishes the domain form as one lifecycle-bound service for typed durable state. |
| `ctx.messageFeedback` | `core` | [`message-feedback`](../packages/feedback/message-feedback) | - | - | - | Owns local per-assistant-message feedback, lifecycle and target validation, per-item compare-and-set, and the Host unary Remote contract without entering Session history or telemetry. |
| `ctx.userQuestions` | `seam` | [`user-questions`](../packages/interaction/user-questions) | - | [`tool-ask-user`](../packages/interaction/tool-ask-user) | - | UI front ends provide the active human-answer provider; tool-ask-user pauses a tool call on the provider-neutral ask() promise. |
| `ctx.agentPresets` | `core` | [`agent-presets`](../packages/preset/agent-presets) | - | - | - | Discovers preset directories over trusted and user-authored roots and mounts one preset cordis.yml under an agent scope during creation, rejecting a row that never activates or that publishes into the root service realm. |
| `ctx.commands` | `core` | [`commands`](../packages/interaction/commands) | - | - | - | Plugins register direct human commands without sending invocations to the model. |
| `ctx.agentDefaultModel` | `core` | [`agent-default-model`](../packages/core/agent-default-model) | - | [`headless`](../packages/bundle/headless), [`host-apiproxy`](../packages/host/apiproxy) | - | Layers the default ModelSelection through settings so direct and Host-backed Agent entry points share one state owner. |
| `ctx.agentLoop` | `bundle` | [`agent-loop`](../packages/core/agent-loop) | - | [`agent-spine-demo`](../packages/examples/agent-spine-demo) | - | The one concrete loop plugin; extension packages depend on dsh-agent events and services, not on this package. |
| `ctx.e2b` | `core` | [`e2b`](../packages/e2b/e2b) | - | [`fs-e2b`](../packages/e2b/fs-e2b), [`subprocess-e2b`](../packages/e2b/subprocess-e2b) | - | Owns one shared E2B SDK handle, remote working directory, and final sandbox disposition so both fundamental E2B providers inhabit the same Linux runtime. |
| `ctx.subprocess` | `seam` | [`subprocess`](../packages/subprocess/subprocess) | [`subprocess-local`](../packages/subprocess/subprocess-local), [`subprocess-e2b`](../packages/e2b/subprocess-e2b) | [`bash-local`](../packages/shell/bash-local), [`bash-sandbox`](../packages/shell/bash-sandbox), [`terminal-bash`](../packages/terminal/terminal-bash), [`lsp-stdio`](../packages/lsp/lsp-stdio), [`subagent-acp`](../packages/subagent/subagent-acp), [`subagent-codex`](../packages/subagent/subagent-codex), [`subagent-claude-code`](../packages/subagent/subagent-claude-code) | - | The bash executors, the PTY shell backend, the LSP host, and the out-of-process ACP, Codex, and Claude Code subagent backends spawn through ctx.subprocess; the service owns process coordinates, tree/session lifetime, stdio dispositions, terminal mechanics, and kill escalation. |
| `ctx.shell` | `seam` | [`shell`](../packages/shell/shell) | [`bash-local`](../packages/shell/bash-local), [`bash-sandbox`](../packages/shell/bash-sandbox), [`pwsh-local`](../packages/shell/pwsh-local) | [`tool-bash`](../packages/shell/tool-bash), [`tool-pwsh`](../packages/shell/tool-pwsh), [`hooks-claude-code`](../packages/hooks/hooks-claude-code), [`hooks-codex`](../packages/hooks/hooks-codex) | - | The model-facing shell tools and hook bridges consume this seam; sandboxed, remote, or PowerShell executors replace bash-local without touching them. |
| `ctx.shellEnv` | `core` | [`shell-env`](../packages/shell/shell-env) | - | [`tool-bash`](../packages/shell/tool-bash), [`tool-pwsh`](../packages/shell/tool-pwsh) | - | Plugins declare effect-scoped DSH_* facts; each shell tool collects one trusted snapshot per execution and its executor rebuilds the namespace. |
| `ctx.terminals` | `seam` | [`terminal`](../packages/terminal/terminal) | [`terminal-bash`](../packages/terminal/terminal-bash) | [`tool-terminal`](../packages/terminal/tool-terminal) | - | The registry owns exact-Agent session identity and cleanup; backends own terminal mechanics, while tool-terminal exposes the owner-scoped model tools. |
| `ctx.sandbox` | `seam` | [`sandbox`](../packages/sandbox/sandbox) | [`sandbox-local`](../packages/sandbox/sandbox-local) | [`bash-sandbox`](../packages/shell/bash-sandbox), [`terminal-bash`](../packages/terminal/terminal-bash) | - | Consumers hand over the exact argv they are about to spawn; same-world backends wrap it under a per-call policy and report enforcement. |
| `ctx.sandboxPolicy` | `core` | [`sandbox-policy`](../packages/sandbox/sandbox-policy) | - | [`bash-sandbox`](../packages/shell/bash-sandbox), [`fs-sandbox`](../packages/fs/fs-sandbox), [`terminal-bash`](../packages/terminal/terminal-bash) | - | The one home for the deployment default mode + workspace root; only the sandboxed executor and provider read the service (the tool layers use the pure `sandbox/mode` fold it also exports). Both enforcing families read it so bash and fs cannot confine to different roots. |
| `ctx.approval` | `seam` | `approval` | [`acp`](../packages/acp/acp) | [`tools`](../packages/core/tools), [`tool-bash`](../packages/shell/tool-bash) | - | One-shot permission decisions dispatched over the `approval/request` waterfall; answerers are listeners (the ACP bridge for its own agents), absence fails closed to `unavailable`. |
| `ctx.permissionPresets` | `core` | [`permission-presets`](../packages/interaction/permission-presets) | - | - | - | User-facing preset table (`workspace-write`/`danger-full-access`) bundling the sandbox-mode and approval-policy knobs; a switch writes one `permission/preset` event through to both knob events. |
| `ctx.codeRuntime` | `seam` | [`code-runtime`](../packages/code-runtime/code-runtime) | `code-runtime-worker` | [`tools`](../packages/core/tools) | - | Runs one model-written program against host-provided async bindings; backends differ by substrate and language (the tool registry consumes it for Code Mode). |
| `ctx.fs` | `seam` | [`fs`](../packages/fs/fs) | [`fs-local`](../packages/fs/fs-local), [`fs-sandbox`](../packages/fs/fs-sandbox), [`fs-e2b`](../packages/e2b/fs-e2b) | [`tool-fs`](../packages/fs/tool-fs) | [`fs-observation-policy`](../packages/fs/fs-observation-policy) | tool-fs executes read/write/edit through ctx.fs; fs-sandbox fences mutations by the shared sandbox mode; fs-observation-policy contributes observed-state checks through the fs/* event gate. |
| `ctx.compaction` | `seam` | [`compaction`](../packages/compaction/compaction) | [`compaction-basic`](../packages/compaction/compaction-basic) | [`compaction-basic`](../packages/compaction/compaction-basic) | - | The basic backend consumes post-step pressure and request-error recovery events; there is no model-facing compact tool. |
| `ctx.subagents` | `seam` | [`subagent`](../packages/subagent/subagent) | [`subagent-spawn-in-process`](../packages/subagent/subagent-spawn-in-process), [`subagent-fork-in-process`](../packages/subagent/subagent-fork-in-process), [`subagent-acp`](../packages/subagent/subagent-acp), [`subagent-codex`](../packages/subagent/subagent-codex), [`subagent-claude-code`](../packages/subagent/subagent-claude-code), [`subagent-dsh-sdk`](../packages/subagent/subagent-dsh-sdk) | [`tool-subagent`](../packages/subagent/tool-subagent), [`tool-subagent-control`](../packages/subagent/tool-subagent-control), [`tool-ralph`](../packages/workflow/tool-ralph) | - | Providers implement transports; the service also owns optional Activation-based continuation orchestration, tool-subagent selects one-shot or continuable delegation, tool-subagent-control delivers follow-ups, and tool-ralph requires one fresh structured-output route. |
| `ctx.jobs` | `seam` | [`jobs`](../packages/jobs/jobs) | [`jobs-local`](../packages/jobs/jobs-local) | [`tool-bash`](../packages/shell/tool-bash), [`tool-terminal`](../packages/terminal/tool-terminal), [`tool-subagent`](../packages/subagent/tool-subagent), [`tool-jobs`](../packages/jobs/tool-jobs) | - | Producers (background bash, PTY sends, and subagent delegations) register running work; tool-jobs is the model-facing controller that reads, lists, and kills it; jobs-local is the process-local registry. |
| `ctx.web` | `seam` | [`web`](../packages/web/web) | [`web-search-exa`](../packages/web/web-search-exa), [`web-search-perplexity`](../packages/web/web-search-perplexity), [`web-search-deepseek`](../packages/web/web-search-deepseek), [`web-fetch-http`](../packages/web/web-fetch-http) | [`tool-web`](../packages/web/tool-web) | - | Search and fetch providers register into one ctx.web seam; tool-web owns the stable model-facing names. |
| `ctx.spillStore` | `seam` | [`spill`](../packages/spill/spill) | [`spill-local`](../packages/spill/spill-local) | [`spill-policy`](../packages/spill/spill-policy) | - | The backend saves oversized tool text and returns a model-facing locator plus retrieval hint; spill-policy is the tools/post-execute consumer that decides when to spill. |
| `ctx.directoryPicker` | `seam` | `directory-picker` | `directory-picker-native`, `directory-picker-browse` | `apiproxy` | - | Discriminated interaction capability: the native backend opens one OS chooser on the host display, the browse backend serves listing/creation primitives for the in-app browser; dual-face backends fill ui-workspace directory-flow slots from their browser halves (no wire advertisement). |
| `ctx.webServer` | `core` | `webserver` | - | `connection`, `modules`, `hmr` | - | Plain node:http carrier: named-route registry, index transform taps, and the static dist fallback; web-transport plugins register their own routes. |
| `ctx.clientModules` | `core` | `modules` | - | `hmr` | - | Composes the __DSH_BOOT__ entry graph from an incremental dsh.client scan, serves plugin bundles, and notifies rebuilt/graph-changed subscribers. |
| `ctx.workflowEngine` | `seam` | [`workflow`](../packages/workflow/workflow) | [`workflow-worker-thread`](../packages/workflow/workflow-worker-thread) | [`tool-workflow`](../packages/workflow/tool-workflow), [`tool-ralph`](../packages/workflow/tool-ralph) | - | One engine per context, as in bash, with no named-provider registry; the general workflow and fixed Ralph consumers start runs whose agent() calls fan out through ctx.subagents. |
| `ctx.lsp` | `seam` | [`lsp`](../packages/lsp/lsp) | `lsp-local` | [`tool-lsp`](../packages/lsp/tool-lsp) | - | Provider registration and selection plus normalized query execution over exactly four operations; the seam offers no protocol escape hatch, so a backend translates into the normalized request and result. |
| `ctx.apiProxy` | `core` | `apiproxy` | - | `connection` | - | The transport-agnostic host gateway face: it dispatches browser API calls, and each open host stream subscribes to the events it forwards rather than being pushed to through a broadcast verb. |
| `ctx.dynamicCordisRunner` | `core` | [`cordis-host-runner`](../packages/extensions/cordis-host-runner) | - | [`tool-cordis`](../packages/extensions/tool-cordis) | - | Owns the in-memory definition registry, the vm sandbox for host halves, and the request-run round trip; browser pages reach the same service over the wire through its remote namespace. |
| `ctx.cordisInspect` | `core` | [`cordis-host-runner`](../packages/extensions/cordis-host-runner) | - | [`tool-cordis`](../packages/extensions/tool-cordis) | - | Registers host inspect providers, mirrors the client provider manifest, and routes client queries through the dynamic Cordis transport. |
Maintenance mode: hybrid: services are discovered from Cordis declarations; interface/implementation/consumer roles are classified in `scripts/gen-doc-graphs.ts` with a completeness guard.
