- Reasoning has a home without provider contortions. Multimodal content deliberately has NO core block type: the core set is limited to blocks every shipping path honors, and a multimodal feature adds its block type through the merge-extensible map in the same coordinated change that maps it in the adapters, surfaces it in the UI bridges, and prices it in compaction — see [the drop-image RFC](../simplification/2026-07-04-drop-image-content-block.md). Block cache hints likewise have no core field: DeepSeek prompt caching is automatic, so no shipping adapter can transmit a hint; a caching feature adds a `cache` field together with the adapter that honors it — see [the producer-less-variants RFC](../simplification/2026-07-04-prune-producerless-vocabulary-variants.md). Assistant-prefix continuation (prefill) likewise has no request field: DeepSeek's chat-prefix completion is a Beta feature on a base URL neither shipping adapter targets, so a prefill feature adds `GenerateOptions.prefill` together with the adapter that honors it — see [the inert-request-knobs RFC](../simplification/2026-07-04-drop-inert-request-knobs.md).

@@ -23,7 +23,7 @@ Key choices recorded here because they are durable, contested, and surprising:
|
||||
- **Append-only; a crashed turn is closed, never truncated.** Committed events — those at or below a flushed `turn/end` — are never rewritten. The loop only flushes at `turn/end`, so a crash can leave a durable log whose final turn never closed: real, fully-written events sit after the last `turn/end`. **A single turn can be huge in a long-horizon task** (many steps, large tool output spanning a long autonomous run), so discarding the interrupted turn would silently destroy a large amount of real work — truncating a turn is wrong. Instead, on reload `load` PRESERVES those events and CLOSES the orphaned turn by durably appending the minimal synthetic boundary events: an error `tool/result` for every `tool-call` the crash left unanswered, then a `step/end` if a step was still open, then a `turn/end` carrying the merge-extensible `{ kind: 'interrupted' }` reason (a marker that records the turn was cut short by a crash, not completed by the model — no loop ever emits it). The synthetic tool results matter for resume correctness: the loop logs the `assistant/message` (carrying the `tool-call` blocks) BEFORE running the tools, so a crash mid-tool leaves calls without results; `deriveMessages()` would then replay a dangling assistant tool-call, which every provider rejects as an invalid transcript on the next request. Answering each orphaned call with an error result keeps the rehydrated history valid. `load` returns the balanced log, so a resumed session is immediately usable. The ONLY thing discarded is a never-fully-written **torn tail fragment** — a final record whose bytes (JSONL) or row were never completely flushed; that fragment is not a valid event and is dropped before the synthetic closers are written. A parse error or `seq` gap in the COMMITTED region (at or before the last real `turn/end`) is genuine corruption and makes the session unloadable.
|
||||
- **File backend canonical, DB backend a proven drop-in.** `SessionEvent` maps 1:1 onto a row `(session_id, seq, type, time, data)` — `append` is INSERT (in a transaction asserting the contiguous-seq contract), `load` is SELECT … ORDER BY seq. `dsh-session-persistence-sqlite` is exactly this: a `SessionPersistence` subclass with no interface change (opencode runs this exact shape on SQLite/WAL), and it passes the same `runPersistenceContract` suite as the JSONL backend — so the contract holds both backends to identical semantics (lazy materialization, interrupted-turn close on load, contiguous-seq), expressed once over file bytes and once over rows.
|
||||
- **Metadata is out-of-log.** Format version, cwd, and lineage are storage concerns, not replayable conversation state, so they live in a `SessionHeader` owned by `dsh-session` and attached to a `Session` via a new readonly `session.header` — never in `SessionEventMap`, never reaching `deriveMessages()`. The alternative (a merge-extensible `session/meta` event as log line 0) was rejected: an in-log event would ride along with a seeded/forked session for free, but metadata is not replayable state, so the explicit out-of-log header seam is the cleaner cost. (The header was originally split into an immutable `SessionHeader` plus a mutable `SessionSummary` whose union was `SessionMeta`; the mutable summary was later removed as dead state — see [Drop the mutable session summary](../simplification/2026-06-19-drop-mutable-session-summary.md).)

- **`ctx.agents.create()` and `ctx.agents.resume()` are async factories; resume additionally crosses the persistence boundary.** `ctx.agents.resume({ resumeSessionId })` awaits `ctx.sessionPersistence.load`, recreates the live session with the loaded events (so `lastTurnNumber`/`deriveMessages` continue), and starts a fresh agent on the resumed id (NOT `${agentId}-session`).

|
||||
|
||||
**Gap 1 — unbranded cross-boundary IDs in the bash seam.** The background-task id is a plain `string`: `BashTask.id: string` (`packages/bash/bash/src/types.ts`), carried as `string` through the whole executor seam (`BashExecutor.get`/`ownerOf`/`readOutput`/`kill(id: string)` in `packages/bash/bash/src/index.ts`) and validated/passed as `string` by the model-facing tools (`validateTaskId`, `assertTaskAccess`, the `task_id` schema arg in `packages/bash/tool-bash/src/index.ts`). It is generated by a per-executor counter — `` `bash-${this.nextTaskId++}` `` in `packages/bash/bash-local/src/index.ts` — which gives it **exactly the same `name-N` shape as `SessionId`'s default** (`` `session-${++counter}` `` in `packages/core/session/src/index.ts`). A bash task id and a session id are trivially swappable at a call site and the compiler says nothing. This is the headline case the user asked about, and it is a model-facing id (the model passes `task_id` back to `bash_output`/`bash_kill`), so a confusion here is reachable from untrusted input.
|
||||
|
||||
The bash **owner token** is the related sub-case: `BashExecRequest.owner?: string` and `BashExecSpec.owner: string | undefined` (`packages/bash/bash/src/types.ts`) are documented as a deliberately *opaque* isolation key, but in every live caller the value IS the owning agent's `session.header.id` (`callerToken = (exec) => exec.agent?.session.header.id` in `packages/bash/tool-bash/src/index.ts`) — i.e. a `SessionId` wearing a `string` disguise. It is compared for access control (`owner !== callerToken(exec)`), so a mismatched-but-well-typed string here is a cross-session isolation bug the type system currently cannot catch. This is the same `session.header.id`-as-owner alias that the [unify-the-agent-id-and-the-session-id](../../proposed/simplification/2026-06-20-unify-agent-and-session-id.md) proposal calls the "bash owner-token alias hole".
|
||||
|
||||
**Gap 2 — brand erosion at the seams of the *already-branded* IDs.** Even `CallId`/`SessionId`/`AgentId` decay back to bare `string` at exactly the places confusion is most likely: the registry/store `Map` key types and most public method params. Representative sites: `SessionStore.store = new Map<string, Session>()` and `create`/`prepare(id?: string)`/`get(id: string)` (`packages/core/session/src/index.ts`); `AgentRegistry.store = new Map<string, Agent>()` and `register`/`get(id: string)` (`packages/core/agent/src/index.ts`); `ToolPresenter.pending = new Map<string, …>()` keyed by call id and `call(callId: string)`/`result(callId: string)` (`packages/ui/acp/src/index.ts`); the ACP session-id surface beyond the store map — `SessionRecord.sessionId: string`, `bySession = new WeakMap<Agent, string>()`, `loadingIds = new Set<string>()`, `requireSession(sessionId: string)`, and the exported `streamSessionEventUpdate(sessionId: string, …)` (`packages/ui/acp/src/index.ts`); and the persistence coordinator's `Map<string, …>` keyed by session id (`packages/session-persistence/session-persistence/src/coordinator.ts`). A brand that is dropped at the `Map` key buys nothing on lookups — the value of the existing brands is partly unrealized.

## Decision
|
||||
|
||||
A type-only change. Brands are zero-cost casts; nothing about runtime behavior, serialization, comparison, or the wire format changes. The work is in three parts, all honoring the existing "not every string" policy.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Brand the bash task id.** Add `BashTaskId = Branded<'BashTaskId'>` plus its same-named factory in `packages/bash/bash/src/types.ts` (the package that *owns* the id), importing `Branded` from `@deepseek-ai/dsh-brand` exactly as `SessionId`/`AgentId` already do. The brand primitive lives in the dependency-free `dsh-brand` utility package precisely so `dsh-bash` can brand its ids by depending on it alone — it never pulls in `dsh-llm` (or `dsh-session`) just to reach `Branded`. Thread it through `BashTask.id`, the `BashExecutor` seam methods (`get`/`ownerOf`/`readOutput`/`kill`), the generation site in `dsh-bash-local` (brand the counter output once, at creation), and the `dsh-tool-bash` validate/access surface (`validateTaskId` returns a `BashTaskId`; `task_id` is branded at the tool boundary where the model's string arrives).
|
||||
- **Brand the bash task id.** Add `BashTaskId = Branded<'BashTaskId'>` plus its same-named factory in `packages/bash/bash/src/types.ts` (the package that *owns* the id), importing `Branded` from `@deepseek-ai/dsh-brand` exactly as `SessionId` does. The brand primitive lives in the dependency-free `dsh-brand` utility package precisely so `dsh-bash` can brand its ids by depending on it alone — it never pulls in `dsh-llm` (or `dsh-session`) just to reach `Branded`. Thread it through `BashTask.id`, the `BashExecutor` seam methods (`get`/`ownerOf`/`readOutput`/`kill`), the generation site in `dsh-bash-local` (brand the counter output once, at creation), and the `dsh-tool-bash` validate/access surface (`validateTaskId` returns a `BashTaskId`; `task_id` is branded at the tool boundary where the model's string arrives).
|
||||
|
||||
- **Mint a distinct `OwnerToken` brand.** Add `OwnerToken = Branded<'OwnerToken'>` in `packages/bash/bash/src/types.ts`; type `BashExecRequest.owner` / `BashExecSpec.owner` / `BashExecutor.ownerOf` as `OwnerToken | undefined`. The `dsh-tool-bash` consumer casts the agent's `session.header.id` (a `SessionId`) into an `OwnerToken` at the boundary — the one place the two vocabularies meet. The bash seam never imports `dsh-session`. (Rationale in the next section.)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Stop the brand erosion.** Propagate the existing brands to the `Map` key types and public method params listed under Gap 2 — `Map<SessionId, Session>`, `get(id: SessionId)`, `Map<AgentId, Agent>`, `Map<CallId, …>`, the ACP `SessionRecord.sessionId: SessionId` surface, the coordinator's `Map<SessionId, …>`. This is the larger mechanical share of the diff and the part that makes the *existing* brands actually load-bearing on lookups, not just on the struct fields.

The guard is a loop-hygiene plugin, not a model-facing tool: it never appears in the tool list, never vetoes or rewrites a call, and adds exactly one behavior — it watches each agent's stream of tool calls, counts runs of consecutive calls to the same tool with identical canonicalized arguments, and at configured run lengths injects an escalating advisory reminder telling the model to stop repeating itself, re-read the last result, and either change approach or conclude. The purpose is to break unproductive loops within a few wasted steps instead of letting them run to the turn's natural end — while leaving the decision (retry differently, gather more evidence, or finish) entirely with the model, so a legitimately repeated call is delayed by nothing and blocked by nothing.

- **`tools/post-execute` (waterfall)** — the one detection point. The listener receives `(exec, result)` together, so counting and reminder delivery need no cross-event pending map (the pi extension needs one only because its `tool_call`/`tool_result` hooks are separate events). It always delegates via `next()` and, when a threshold is hit, folds a reminder onto the downstream decision's `additionalContext` — the observe-and-enrich posture [the hooks bridges](2026-06-30-hook-bridges.md) already use, honoring the waterfall contract. Counting happens here rather than in `tools/pre-execute` because post-execute also runs for denied calls (`ToolRegistry.execute` routes a deny through the same pipeline), and a model hammering a denied call is exactly the loop worth breaking.
