feat(cli)!: complete --config on every surface and delete the personal overlay
$DSH_HOME/config.yaml was an implicit composition layer: if the file existed, every launch applied an arbitrary Loader patch graph over the shipped tree, kept live by a dedicated HMR watcher. Three costs came from the implicitness, not the capability. A patch replaces its target row's whole config, so a file written months ago pins that row to the field set it knew and every default the shipped tree later adds silently stops applying. It competed with the typed settings namespaces llm-deepseek and llm-pi-ai already register, so which one wins was a function of layer order rather than meaning. And the explicit escape hatch it was supposedly redundant with did not exist on every surface: dsh -p, dsh meta, and dsh upgrade all rejected --config, so for them the implicit file was the only composition route at all. Complete the explicit layer first: --config and --config-replace now work on every booting surface. A headless --config-replace tree must still mount a webserver row, because that surface reaches its own agent over the same HTTP gateway the browser uses; AppCLIEntry names that contract in the failure instead of reporting a bare missing service. Then delete the implicit one. PERSONAL_CONFIG_FILENAME, loadPersonalPatches, watchPersonalPatches, and the config-only HMR row mounted for it are gone; a file left at that path is inert, and --dump-config no longer reads the Harness home. --config therefore stops *replacing* the personal overlay and simply *is* the user overlay. No migration: a user who wants the old behavior names the same file (dsh --config ~/.dsh/config.yaml), which a shell alias makes permanent.

The TUI surface:

|

- boots `base.cordis.yml` plus `tui.cordis.yml` through [`dsh-app-boot`](../../packages/ui/app-boot/README.md); `--config <path>` applies a patch-list overlay instead of the personal overlay, while `--config-replace <path>` boots that file as the complete tree;
|

- boots `base.cordis.yml` plus `tui.cordis.yml` through [`dsh-app-boot`](../../packages/ui/app-boot/README.md); `--config <path>` applies a patch-list overlay over that tree, while `--config-replace <path>` boots the named file as the complete tree; every booting surface takes both flags;
|
||||
- resumes a persisted session with `dsh --resume <session-id>` and, when the Node host exposes `process.execve`, supplies the TUI's in-place handoff host: after selector preflight and current-session flush, the host disposes the app and replaces the process with a normalized resume invocation; runtimes without process replacement leave the session running and say so. This CLI owns session identity and the exit line rather than the config: it mints or selects the `main` session id and provides it, plus the exact command that reproduces this invocation, on the boot context ([`MAIN_SESSION_ID_KEY`](../../packages/ui/tui/README.md) and `TUI_GOODBYE_MESSAGE_KEY`). No `cordis.yml` key can drop resume, and a missing or unreadable id fails loud instead of creating a fresh session;
|
||||
- treats the **invoking directory** as the workspace — sessions, relative paths, and workspace instructions resolve from the cwd (`dsh meta` is the sole exception, below);
|
||||
- tells the agent where its own source lives: after boot it adds a prompt section naming this harness checkout, resolved from the launcher's real path so it holds under a PATH symlink and an arbitrary cwd, so the self-referential `cordis` toolset can read and modify it;
|
||||
- applies the personal overlay from `~/.dsh` (see [app-boot's Personal config](../../packages/ui/app-boot/README.md#personal-config)): `config.yaml` patches the booted tree, while `.env` there is the credential provider's own store (never hoisted into the environment, so keys stay rotatable). Environment precedence is ambient > project `.env`. The shipped tree's Cordis HMR keeps `config.yaml` live; an explicit `--config` tree replaces that overlay, and a tree without HMR reads it at startup only.
|
||||
- reads the Harness home (`~/.dsh`) for user state only (see [app-boot's Harness home](../../packages/ui/app-boot/README.md#the-harness-home)): `.env` is the user environment layer and `.credentials.yaml` is the credential provider's own store, never hoisted into the environment, so keys stay rotatable. Environment precedence is ambient > project `.env` > user `.env`. No composition file is discovered there: an overlay reaches a launch only through `--config`.
|
||||
- presents the [versioned first-run welcome](../../.agents/notes/implemented/feature/2026-07-30-versioned-tui-first-run-welcome.md) through the mounted TUI overlay service when its immutable marker is absent under `DSH_HOME`; only Enter creates that version's marker, while Escape, disposal, or process exit leaves it eligible. The official DeepSeek icon, responsive terminal rasters, all-locale Chinese copy, and notice version are static local owners; the overlay never writes a session event or model context.
|
||||
- registers bare `/compact`: while the agent is idle, it summarizes useful older history even below automatic pressure, rejects arguments, and reports success only after the standalone replacement bracket is durable. A prompt submitted during compaction keeps its queue identity and starts after that checkpoint; injected context remains visible.

`dsh upgrade` is a guided fresh-session entry over the default TUI surface: it mints a fresh session in the invoking directory and seeds its first turn with the bundled `dsh-upgrade` skill, exactly as if the user typed `/skill:<name>`. The launcher passes the skill name on the boot context ([`INITIAL_SKILL_KEY`](../../packages/ui/tui/README.md)), which the TUI auto-invokes once the chat is live. The command takes no options beyond the experimental gate — `--config`, `-p`, and `--resume` fail loud — and seeds only on this first launch, so a later `dsh --resume <id>` of the session is an ordinary TUI session with no re-injection.

`dsh --dump-config` and `dsh web --dump-config` print the composed config tree — the shipped base, the surface overlay, and the `--config` or personal overlay, exactly the layers that surface would boot — as YAML on stdout and exit without booting; `--dump-default-config` stops at the surface overlay, so diffing the two shows precisely what the user layer changes. Each run of rows is preceded by a `# ==` comment naming the file it comes from and the layers that patched it (e.g. `# == base.cordis.yml, patched by tui.cordis.yml`), so the output shows provenance while staying one loadable document. Composition runs through the include's own patch algorithm and YAML dialect (`applyEntryPatches`/`entryListSchema` from `@cordisjs/plugin-include`), so the dump cannot drift from what boots; `!!js` expressions print verbatim and unevaluated, and a patch whose target row is absent is reported on stderr with its layer, mirroring the Loader's boot-time warning. Launcher-owned boot-context values (session identity, CLI-flag patches) are per-invocation facts outside the config tree and do not appear. The dump flags reject boot-only flags (`-p`, `--resume`, `--config-replace`) rather than silently ignoring them, and `--dump-default-config` takes no `--config`.

The Web and headless surfaces boot `base.cordis.yml` plus `web.cordis.yml`, then apply `$DSH_HOME/config.yaml`; an explicit `--config <path>` replaces that personal overlay. Both surfaces otherwise share the same composition: both tell the coding agent its resolved model and session working directory, treat the invoking directory as the default project and Workspace root, create named Workspaces beneath that root unless `--workspace-root <path>` overrides it, load applicable `AGENTS.md`/`CLAUDE.md` instructions into each agent-loop request prefix with a 65,536-byte render budget, opt into first-message model titles, use the same bounded transient model-request retry policy as the TUI, and mount a disposable in-memory SQLite content-index service. Web additionally names the DeepSeek Harness Web GUI as the interaction surface, this checkout as its own source location, and the process's canonical local URL and mode in both the prompt and managed `$DSH_WEB_URL`/`$DSH_WEB_MODE`; references such as “this page” therefore identify the GUI without claiming access to implicit DOM, route, or screenshot state. In production mode the host reads rebuilt frontend dist and client bundles on the next request, so refreshing the existing URL updates that GUI without replacing its process. `dsh web --dev` mounts the client-plugin HMR receiver, but no-refresh updates additionally require `pnpm run dev:web` in the same checkout to watch and rebuild plugin bundles; shell and ordinary package changes still require a rebuild and page refresh. Bare `apps/web` Vite serving fails before listening because it cannot inject `window.__DSH_BOOT__`. The index service is ACTIVE at boot, while its `node:sqlite` module and database handle open only on the first content search. This keeps Node 22 startup output free of SQLite's experimental warning before search is used; the first actual search may still emit the runtime warning. Each service instance owns its database, so parallel invocations neither share unsupported SQLite state nor leave derived index files behind, and the first search lazily reconciles live and persisted logs. Headless differs only in listening on an OS-assigned port (parallel `dsh -p` runs never collide; the stderr-printed URL opens the live session in a browser). Both need the frontend dist and client bundles built (`pnpm run build && pnpm run build:web`).

The shared composition defaults new TUI, Web, and headless sessions to the `workspace-write` permission preset (`workspace-write` file mode plus `ask` approval policy). Sandbox-enforced bash and filesystem mutations may write only under the session workspace and platform temporary roots; reads, network access, and process visibility are not confined. The browser answers one-shot approval requests and exposes the Access picker; the TUI exposes `/permission`, but has no approval-request answerer, so an automatic wider retry there fails closed until the user deliberately changes the session preset. `DSH_PERMISSION_MODE` changes the process fallback, while a stored General-settings Permission value applies to later sessions without changing an open one.

Every `dsh` surface — TUI, Web, and headless — reports session telemetry by default (the row lives in the shared `base.cordis.yml`): every session-log event streams as OTLP/HTTP log records to `https://harness-telemetry.deepseeksvc.com/v1/logs` on a 10-second batch cadence. `DSH_TELEMETRY_OTLP_URL` points the exporter at a different collector; setting `DSH_TELEMETRY_DISABLED` to ANY non-empty value — including `0` or `false` — disables the row before it loads (a privacy switch prefers off-by-mistake over on-by-mistake). No redaction rule is mounted in this composition yet: exported records are the raw captured copy, including message text, tool arguments and results, and the session's working-directory path. The deployment rulings live in the [web-telemetry-default-mount Agent Note](../../.agents/notes/implemented/feature/2026-07-31-web-telemetry-default-mount.md).

MCP servers are not a shipped default, because a default would have to name one: `@deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client` mounts exactly one server per row and spawns it as a child process, outside `ctx.bash` and so outside the sandbox policy. The package is a runtime dependency of this CLI, so an installed `dsh` can mount your own servers from `$DSH_HOME/config.yaml` or a `--config` overlay without a source checkout:
