|
||||
- **Append-only; a crashed turn is closed, never truncated.** Events through a flushed `turn/end` are never rewritten, and the loop flushes only at turn end. Because one interrupted turn may contain substantial valid work, `load` preserves its contiguous, parseable events and appends error results for unanswered tool calls, a missing `step/end`, and `turn/end` with `{ kind: 'interrupted' }`. The synthetic results keep resumed provider transcripts valid. Only an incomplete final record is discarded; a parse error or sequence gap at or before the last real `turn/end` is 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).)

|

### 1. Queue-aware `Agent.cancel(reason?)`
|
||||
|
||||
`cancel()` is the single public stop primitive. It clears queued and steering input, aborts an in-flight step, and arms a turn-scoped marker checked at each turn boundary. A queued prompt therefore cannot start after cancellation or absorb later input. `whenIdle()` waits for post-cancel quiescence, and ACP `session/cancel` maps to this method. An idle cancel does not arm the marker.
|
||||
A new `cancel()` verb on the `Agent` interface — the single public stop primitive. (It originally shipped alongside a narrower step-only `abort()`; that verb was later removed as unused, leaving `cancel()` the only public way to stop work.) It clears the inbox's queued + steering FIFOs, aborts the in-flight step if any, and drives a **turn-scoped cancellation marker** the driver loop checks at every turn-decision point — so a prompt that is queued-but-not-yet-started never runs, a cancel landing in the pre-step / continuation window drops the about-to-run turn (ending it `aborted`), and a later prompt cannot be batched into the cancelled turn. `whenIdle()` reaches post-cancel quiescence. ACP `session/cancel` maps to `cancel()`. The marker is armed ONLY when there is something to cancel, so an idle no-op cancel cannot strand the next prompt.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. `AgentHandle` async disposer
|
||||
|
||||
`ctx.agents.create`/`resume` and `AgentFactory` return `AgentHandle = { agent, dispose() }`. Disposal is a consumer capability; an observer holding only `Agent` cannot tear it down. The caller fiber and factory provider also own the instance, and every path shares one memoized teardown: stop the loop, await quiescence and flushes, detach the agent and session, then unwind its scope. IDs become reusable when their registry entries detach. Config-created agents belong to the loop fiber; ACP stores and disposes each session handle.
|
||||
`ctx.agents.create`/`resume` (and the `AgentFactory` interface) return `AgentHandle = { agent: Agent; dispose(): Promise<void> }`. The disposer is a **consumer capability** — a registry observer holding only the bare `Agent` cannot tear it down. The caller fiber and registered factory provider are structural co-owners: caller unload enforces structured ownership, while provider unload must stop old instances whose scoped dependency surface resolves through that provider. All three paths reach the same memoized teardown: stop the loop, await its exit and idle flushes (true quiescence, not just the `disposed` status flip), detach the agent, detach its session, and unwind its scope. Each public ID becomes reusable when its exact registry entry detaches; there is no separate reservation-release phase. Config-created agents are already owned by the `AgentLoop` fiber (the handle is discarded). ACP holds each session's disposer in its `SessionRecord` and runs it on disconnect/teardown, so a bare client disconnect leaves no registered agent and no session-store entry — even when `session/load` races teardown (the just-resumed handle is disposed before the closed-guard throw).
|
||||
|
||||
Teardown order is load-bearing for durability. The session lifecycle and loop share one composite Cordis effect so LIFO disposal stops the loop and awaits `agent.done` before detaching the session. Sibling effects would dispose concurrently and could remove append hooks before the closing flush. Disposal notifications are contained so they cannot interrupt the chain.
|
||||
**Teardown ORDER is load-bearing for durability**, and the implementation folds the session lifecycle into the agent's SINGLE composite cordis effect (`SessionStore.prepare`/`enter`/`announce`, replacing a sibling-effect split). A fiber unload disposes sibling effects concurrently (`Promise.all`), which would race removing the session store's append publication hooks against the loop's closing `session/flush` and drop the closing `turn/end`; inside one effect the disposers run as an ordered LIFO chain (loop stopped + `await agent.done` BEFORE the session detaches), so the loop's final flush is captured on BOTH the handle's `dispose()` and a fiber unload. The contained `agent/disposed` and `session/disposed` notifications cannot reject the chain or skip later teardown.

||||
|
||||
### 3. Bash owner token in the seam
|
||||
|
||||
Background task ownership belongs to the executor. `BashExecSpec.owner` carries an optional opaque token, `ownerOf(id)` reads it, and `dsh-tool-bash` stamps the calling session token at start. `bash_output` and `bash_kill` reject mismatched callers; completion notices locate the live agent by session token through the registry. Keeping ownership on the task preserves the fence across tool-plugin reloads. The completion listener remains effect-scoped, so a notice that settles during the reload gap may still be dropped.
|
||||
Background-task ownership moved from a `tool-bash` plugin-local `Map<string, Agent>` into the executor. `BashExecRequest` gains an optional `owner?: string`; the resolved `BashExecSpec` carries it as required-but-nullable `owner: string | undefined` (a forgotten owner is a visible `undefined`, never a silently-absent property). The executor stores the token on its task and exposes it via a new `BashExecutor.ownerOf(id): string | undefined` seam (NOT on the public `BashTask` — one read path, no redundant API). `tool-bash` deletes its `Map` entirely: it stamps `exec.agent?.id` (the shared registry/session id) as the owner at `start`, and `bash_output`/`bash_kill` compare `ctx.bash.ownerOf(id)` to the caller's token with `!== undefined` semantics (an empty-string token is still a real owner). The completion notice finds the live agent by scanning `ctx.get('agents')?.list()` for `agent.id === ownerToken` (read via `ctx.get` — `onTaskDone` runs on the bash fiber, a foreign fiber, where the `ctx.agents` proxy would throw). Because ownership now lives on the task in the executor (disposed with the `dsh-bash` fiber), it SURVIVES a `tool-bash` HMR reload — closing the old `XXX(tool-bash-owner-hmr)` gap. (The `onTaskDone` listener is still effect-scoped to `tool-bash`'s `apply`, so a completion landing during the reload gap still drops its one notice — the pre-existing reload-gap drop — but the ownership fence itself is HMR-proof.)
|
||||
|
||||
## Verification
|
||||
|
||||
- ACP disconnect or session close leaves no registered agent or session-store entry, including when `session/load` races teardown.
|
||||
- Cancelling before a queued prompt starts prevents that prompt from running or absorbing the next prompt.
|
||||
- Reloading `dsh-tool-bash` does not let another session read or kill an existing background task because ownership remains on the executor.
|
||||
- Config-created agents remain loop-fiber-owned, so non-ACP demos need not manage handles explicitly.
|
||||
These invariants hold and are pinned by tests:
|
||||
|
||||
- ACP disconnect/session close leaves no registered agent AND no session-store entry for that session, even when `session/load` races teardown.
|
||||
- `session/cancel` before a queued prompt starts prevents that prompt from running and cannot batch the next prompt into the cancelled turn.
|
||||
- A `tool-bash` HMR reload does NOT make an existing background task readable or killable by a different session (ownership survives on the executor).
|
||||
- Existing non-ACP demos still work without managing handles explicitly; config-created agents remain owned by the `AgentLoop` plugin fiber.

## Session owner tokens are unique among live agents
|
||||
|
||||
The bash owner token relies on `session.header.id` being unique among live agents. Concurrent same-ID operations may prepare privately, but `SessionStore.enter()` rejects duplicate publication and the losing transaction rolls back. `tool-bash` owns the comparison policy; the bash seam stores an opaque `owner` string without interpreting it.
|
||||
The bash owner-token comparison relies on the shared `Agent.id`/`SessionId` being unique among live agents. Concurrent same-ID operations may both prepare privately, but publication enters the session and agent in order; `SessionStore.enter()` rejects a duplicate live session id, and every losing transaction rolls its private state back. A programmatic caller therefore cannot publish two live agents with one session token. The access *policy* (token comparison) stays in `tool-bash` (the consumer); the bash seam stores only an opaque `owner` string and never interprets it — the correct interface/implementation/consumer split.

|
||||
|
||||
**Gap 1 — unbranded IDs in the bash seam.** `BashTask.id` and every executor/tool boundary used bare `string`, even though the generated value has the same `name-N` shape as default session ids. The model also returns this value through `task_id`, so confusing task and session ids was both type-correct and reachable.
|
||||
**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 — erosion of existing brands.** `CallId`, `SessionId`, and `AgentId` became bare strings in registry maps, public lookup parameters, ACP session tracking, and the persistence coordinator. Dropping a brand at a lookup boundary defeats its main protection.
|
||||
**Gap 2 — brand erosion at the seams of the *already-branded* IDs.** Even `CallId` and `SessionId` decay back to bare `string` at exactly the places confusion is most likely: registry/store key types and public method params. Representative sites include the session store, the agent registry (both keyed by the shared `SessionId`), `ToolPresenter`'s call-id map, ACP's session-id records and loading set, and the persistence coordinator. A brand that is dropped at a collection 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).

|
||||
|
||||
- **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.)

The `dsh-tool-bash` consumer casts the agent's shared `id` (`SessionId`) into an `OwnerToken` at the boundary — the one place the two vocabularies meet. The bash seam never imports `dsh-session`.

|
||||
|
||||
- **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.

### Why not typing `owner` as `SessionId`?
|
||||
|
||||
The executor treats ownership as opaque and must not depend on the session model. A distinct `OwnerToken` preserves that boundary while preventing raw strings or task ids from being passed as owners. `dsh-tool-bash`, which owns the access policy, performs the single conversion from `SessionId`.
|
||||
The obvious shortcut is to type `owner` as `SessionId` directly — it always *is* one. We reject that. The bash executor seam is a capability seam (interface `dsh-bash`, implementation `dsh-bash-local`, consumer `dsh-tool-bash`) and its owner token is *documented as deliberately opaque*: the executor "never interprets it (no access policy lives in the seam — that is the consumer's job)" (`packages/bash/bash/src/types.ts`). Typing the seam's field as `SessionId` would import `dsh-session`'s vocabulary into a package that must not know what an owner token *means* — it would couple a generic execution backend to the session model and contradict the opaque-token design. A sandboxed or remote executor that replaces `dsh-bash-local` should not inherit a session dependency. The distinct `OwnerToken` brand keeps the seam decoupled: `dsh-bash` knows only "an owner is some opaque branded token," and the `dsh-tool-bash` consumer — which already decides the access policy — is the single boundary that casts its `SessionId` into an `OwnerToken`. The brand still delivers the safety win (you cannot pass a `BashTaskId` or a raw string where an owner is expected) without the coupling.

`BashTaskId` and `OwnerToken` are defined in `dsh-bash` and threaded through the executor, local implementation, and model-facing tool without adding a `dsh-session` dependency. Collections, public parameters, and exported signatures use the applicable brand for `CallId`, `SessionId`, `AgentId`, or `BashTaskId` rather than bare `string`; raw provider, ACP, and model inputs enter through the brand factory instead of scattered casts.

The landed invariants: `BashTaskId` and `OwnerToken` are defined in `dsh-bash` and threaded end-to-end (executor seam, the `dsh-bash-local` generation site, the `dsh-tool-bash` model-facing surface) with no `dsh-bash` dependency on `dsh-session`; no collection keyed by an in-scope branded id (`CallId`/`SessionId`/`BashTaskId`) is keyed by bare `string`; public method params and exported signatures keep the brand; and brands are constructed via the cast factory at each boundary where a raw string enters (provider call id, ACP session id, model-supplied `task_id`), never as scattered `as` casts.

## Consequences
|
||||
|
||||
- **Mechanical churn across two surfaces.** Propagating brands touches the bash seam (interface + impl + consumer) and the ACP session-id surface plus the persistence coordinator. The churn is broad but low-severity: a missed site is a compile error, not a silent bug. The change is observably type-only — no snapshot or e2e behavioral diff. It sits next to the [unify-the-agent-id-and-the-session-id](../../proposed/simplification/2026-06-20-unify-agent-and-session-id.md) proposal (both touch the session-id / owner-token boundary); if that proposal lands, `OwnerToken` still stays distinct from the unified id for the decoupling reason above.

No production consumer needs the live `Agent` at a boundary: the ACP bridge settles from `session/event` `turn/end` plus `agent/status`, and the only turn-mirror consumer (`dsh-ui-stdio`, a disposable test REPL) was migrated to render boundaries from `session/event`, recovering the short agent label from an `agent/created`→id map. The step mirrors were removed first (they had no consumer at all); the turn mirrors followed once ui-stdio was migrated — see [the remove-boundary-mirror-events RFC](../simplification/2026-06-20-remove-agent-boundary-mirror-events.md), which owns that decision. Removing the emits also simplifies the loop's `closeStep`/`closeTurn` (one append each, no paired emit).

## Problem

[The prompt-variables RFC](2026-07-05-prompt-variables-and-tool-guidance-ownership.md) makes `dsh-tool-subagent` DERIVE its model-facing wording from its provider: `SubagentProvider.inheritsParentContext` (spawn/ACP `false`, fork `true`) drives both the tool description and the `prompt` parameter description (`providerWording`), so the fork tool stops lying about context inheritance. That fix created a cross-fiber data dependency: a tool's description is fixed at TOOL REGISTRATION (deliberately — the description is where tool-choice guidance lives), but the provider arrives on its own plugin fiber, on no particular schedule.

Resolving the provider at the tool plugin's `apply` time creates an implicit load-order requirement ("list the backend before the tool in cordis.yml"). That requirement fails because the Cordis Loader starts sibling entries concurrently and `Entry.init()` does not await activation: a delayed backend can leave the tool fiber failed even when listed first. The Loader offers no sibling-order guarantee — "async state is not synchronous state" ([defensive patterns](../../../defensive-patterns.md)).
