 Each new external-process or network tool re-derived the same four things — clamp the requested value, start a timer, fuse the timeout with upstream cancellation, and distinguish "timed out" from "cancelled" on the way out — and the fusion and reason-recovery are exactly the parts that are easy to get subtly wrong (web_fetch's `signal.reason` dance is evidence). At the same time, the *termination* each performs is irreducibly different: bash kills an OS process group (work runs in a child process, outside this runtime, reachable only by signal), while web aborts an in-process `fetch` (undici tears down the socket). There is no single mechanism that can stop all of them.
 
-The two reference agents surveyed converged on the same split. Codex models "what will end this exec early" as one value (`ExecExpiration`, an enum fusing timeout and a cancellation token) whose `wait_with_outcome()` returns `TimedOut | Cancelled`, while the actual `kill_process_group` lives outside it — and that abstraction is reused *only* across the exec family, with MCP, model-stream, and guardian each keeping their own bespoke `tokio::time::timeout`. Claude Code shares nothing: bash and ripgrep each own a private SIGTERM→SIGKILL kill and distinguish timeout from cancellation by throwing distinct error types, while file I/O has no timeout. Both confirm the boundary drawn here: the timing-and-classification half is worth sharing within a family of like-terminated operations; the termination half is not shareable and stays in each capability.

 ## Decision
 
 `@deepseek-ai/dsh-timeout` lives under `packages/util/` (peer to `dsh-brand`) and owns the *timing and classification* half of timeout; the *termination* half — the hard kill — stays in each capability's implementation. It is a library of pure functions, **not** a cordis service or plugin: it takes no `ctx`, registers nothing, holds no cross-call state, and emits no events. There is deliberately no central "timeout service" that would have to know how to stop every capability's work — that knowledge is exactly what a microkernel keeps out of shared layers, and what Codex's exec-only `ExecExpiration` scope demonstrates.

 ### How each capability consumes it
 
 - **web_fetch** — the tool stays validate-and-forward; the provider's hand-rolled controller + `setTimeout` + manual listener + `finally` + `signal.reason` recovery is replaced by provider-owned `deadline`/`timeoutOf`. A pre-aborted upstream signal still throws `WEB_ABORTED` up front; otherwise `fetch` runs against the fused `d.signal`, and `translateAbortOrNetwork` classifies a thrown error by the signal (`timeoutOf` → `WEB_FETCH_TIMEOUT`, else aborted → `WEB_ABORTED`, else network → `WEB_PROVIDER_ERROR`). The public error-code contract is unchanged, and `TimeoutReason` never crosses the web seam as the public error.
-- **bash** — `resolve()` stays a pure request-to-spec step: it clamps with `clampTimeout(request.timeoutMs, config.timeoutMs, config.maxTimeoutMs, 'bash-local: request.timeoutMs')` and carries `request.signal` through unchanged. Foreground `run()` owns the timeout: `using d = deadline(spec.signal, spec.timeoutMs, 'BASH_TIMEOUT')`, then `runBash` receives only `d.signal`. `runBash` no longer owns any timer — it listens for abort and runs its existing SIGTERM→grace→SIGKILL process-group kill, and its `SpawnSpec`/`SpawnOutcome` no longer carry `timeoutMs`/`timedOut`/`aborted` (the executor classifies from the deadline signal instead). `run()` computes `timedOut = timeoutOf(d.signal, 'BASH_TIMEOUT') !== undefined` and `aborted = d.signal.aborted && !timedOut`, so the public seam booleans (`BashRunResult.timedOut`/`aborted`) are mutually exclusive — the shared deadline reports the cause that first cut the command short, and the `code` scope keeps a nested outer deadline from being misread as bash's own timeout. Background `start()` creates no deadline and forwards only the upstream signal, so background tasks stay timeout-free; a task's killed-vs-completed status reads its own `spec.signal.aborted`.
+- **bash** — `resolve()` clamps the request into an explicit spec. Foreground `run()` creates the deadline and passes its signal to process execution, whose existing abort listener performs the process-group kill. The executor classifies the first abort as timeout or cancellation. Background starts remain timeout-free and forward only upstream cancellation.

 **A `withTimeout(promise, ms)` wrapper instead of a signal factory.** Rejected because racing a promise against a timer resolves the *tool-call* promise on deadline without stopping the underlying work — the child process or fetch socket leaks on. Handing out a signal and requiring the capability to listen is what forces a real termination path to exist. This mirrors the "dispose must reach quiescence, not just request it" defensive rule.
 
-**Keep bash's two independent triggers (`killTimer` + `onAbort`) rather than fusing.** Rejected for the convergence goal: fusing into one `deadline` signal removes bash's bespoke timer and gives every capability one shape. The trade-off is that bash's `timedOut`/`aborted` booleans become first-abort classifications rather than independent facts that can both be true when timeout and user abort race before process close. That is acceptable because the result reports the cause that first cut the command short; the termination action stays the same uniform SIGTERM→grace→SIGKILL kill. Note the deliberate non-alignment with Codex: Codex forks its kill by outcome (timeout → immediate SIGKILL; cancel → SIGTERM + 50 ms grace → SIGKILL), whereas the fused signal drives one uniform `kill()` for both, matching Claude Code's unified bash kill. Splitting the kill by `timeoutOf` is possible later if a need appears; there is none now.
+**Keep separate bash timeout and cancellation triggers.** Rejected because one deadline signal removes the bespoke timer and standardizes classification. Racing causes report whichever abort arrived first, while the existing SIGTERM-to-SIGKILL termination path remains unchanged.
