docs(rfc): define and enforce a uniform RFC format; adopt it across the corpus
Define the in-file RFC contract in docs/rfc/README.md § The file format: the header block (`# RFC: <title>` plus a dateless Status enum cross-checked against the lifecycle folder), the per-lifecycle body skeleton (a Problem opener everywhere; Proposal/Alternatives considered/ Acceptance criteria/Risks in proposed/; present-tense Decision/ Consequences with proposal-era headings banned in implemented/; the frozen proposal shape in rejected/), and a mandatory Alternatives considered section with a date-fenced grandfather comment for pre-format RFCs whose alternatives are not reconstructible from the record. Enforce it with a new doc-sync gate, scripts/verify-rfc-format.ts, and normalize all 112 RFCs to it: ~15 Status-line spellings collapse to the enum, 29 Context openers become Problem, the 39 legacy-format XXX debt markers are resolved and banned from reappearing, proposal-era sections in implemented RFCs are rewritten to shipped reality (including the web/fs/subagent seam RFCs' migration plans and test checklists, closing the doc-tiers deferred-work item on the web seam), every RFC gains an Alternatives considered section or the grandfather comment, and the bilingual pair is re-mirrored and re-recorded. Move the generated index tables out of README.md into a fully generated docs/rfc/INDEX.md — gen-rfc-index now writes the whole file, and verify-rfc-classification checks its freshness and rejects index-shaped rows in the curated README — which makes room for the format contract to live in the README front door instead of a separate FORMAT.md. The decision record, and the first RFC written in the new format, is docs/rfc/implemented/process/2026-07-05-uniform-rfc-format.md.

AGENTS.md promises that docs and code stay strictly in sync, but the promise was verified by eyeball. Review caught drift twice — a cookbook example contradicting the type policy, and a README citing the wrong `registerAdapter` call. Out-of-sync docs are worse than no docs, and this codebase is built primarily by agents that follow gates far more reliably than prose (mechanical quality gates). Two classes of doc drift are mechanically checkable: code blocks that no longer compile, and the event-taxonomy table that duplicates the `interface Events` declarations.
|
||||
|
||||
@@ -15,13 +13,18 @@ Two gates, mirroring the existing `scripts/` style (tsx ESM, one job each):
|
||||
1. **`doc-typecheck`** extracts every fenced ` ```ts ` block from `README.md`, `docs/**`, and `packages/*/README.md`, writes them to a temp project extending the root `tsconfig.json`, and compiles it with `tsc -b`. The temp project reuses the source `paths` map and the root project references, so documentation examples see source while vendored code remains checked under its own tsconfig settings. A block that is a deliberate sketch opts out with an explicit ` ```ts ignore-check ` info string; the script reports the opt-out ratio and fails if it exceeds half, so the escape hatch can't quietly become the norm.
|
||||
2. **`verify-event-taxonomy`** extracts the event names from the `interface Events` blocks across `packages/*/src` and from the taxonomy table in `docs/architecture.md`, and asserts the two sets match exactly. Verify, don't generate: the table keeps its hand-written Mode/Purpose columns; only the set of names is checked. (Landing this surfaced three events the table had been missing — `tools/change`, `llm/adapter-change`, `system-prompt/change`.) **Superseded** by [the generated cordis catalog](2026-06-20-generated-cordis-catalog.md): this gate and its `architecture.md` table are retired in favor of the fully-generated `docs/cordis-catalog/events.md` + `docs/cordis-catalog/services.md` and their `verify-cordis-catalog` freshness gate. The other gates here (`doc-typecheck`, and the `verify-md-wrap` amendment below) are unaffected.
|
||||
|
||||
Both run via a shared `doc-sync` package.json script that the lefthook pre-push hook and CI both invoke ([mechanical quality gates](2026-06-11-quality-gates.md): hooks and CI call the same scripts, so the gate fires locally before a push — not only after it). They run after `pnpm run typecheck`, which validates the package/vendor build graph that doc-typecheck references. API-extractor golden reports ([the deferred API-extractor-reports proposal](../../proposed/process/2026-06-11-api-extractor-reports.md)) were deliberately **deferred** — low value for an internal monorepo where reviewers already see the source diff, and a heavy, finicky dependency.

**Amendment (2026-06-17):** a third gate, **`verify-md-wrap`**, was later folded into `doc-sync`. It parses each in-scope Markdown file (`README.md`, `docs/**`, `packages/*/README.md`, plus `AGENTS.md` / `packages/AGENTS.md`) with `mdast-util-from-markdown` + GFM and fails on any `paragraph` node spanning more than one source line, enforcing the docs/AGENTS.md "one physical line per paragraph" writing rule. Same verify-don't-generate principle: it reports hard-wraps and never rewrites, so it adds no formatting churn. `doc-sync` is now three gates.

|
||||
- **Generating the taxonomy table from source** instead of verifying names — rejected as more machinery than the problem warranted; the table kept its hand-written Mode/Purpose columns until [the generated cordis catalog](2026-06-20-generated-cordis-catalog.md) superseded the check entirely.

## Consequences

- Doc drift in the checkable classes now fails the pre-push hook and CI instead of waiting for a reviewer to notice. This is an instance of the "mechanical gates over prose" principle.

- Making doc snippets compile costs a few stub imports/`declare`s; the `ignore-check` ratio must stay low or the gate is theater (the ratio guard enforces this).

The repo shipped on **Yarn 4** with the `node-modules` linker — a deliberately conservative choice that behaves like npm's flat layout while giving us Yarn's workspaces and `yarn constraints`. It worked. But Yarn 4's Plug'n'Play heritage makes the `node-modules` linker the off-the-beaten-path mode, and the broader JS ecosystem — tooling defaults, CI actions, Corepack examples, contributor familiarity — increasingly centers on pnpm. For a repo that is built primarily by agents and read by occasional human contributors, "the package manager most tools and people expect" has real value: fewer surprises, better-trodden failure paths, more copy-pasteable answers.

It enforces the identical invariants — every package `private: true`; `@deepseek-ai/dsh-*` packages declare `cordis` as both a peer- and dev-dependency with matching ranges, `version: 0.0.1`, `type: module`; vendored packages checked for privacy only — over the same `vendor` + `packages` scope.

A reader trying to understand the harness could find its *behavior* in [architecture.md](../../../architecture.md) (the service map, the session/turn/step lifecycle, the event taxonomy) but had no single place describing its *vocabulary* — the data structures that behavior moves around. The type shapes lived only in source, scattered across `packages/*/src/types.ts`, so understanding "what is a `Message`, a `SessionEvent`, a `StreamChunk`" meant reading the declarations directly. A prose catalog would help, but a catalog that paraphrases or paste-copies type definitions rots the instant a field changes — and an out-of-sync type doc is worse than none, because a reader trusts it.

`docs/rfc/` grouped RFCs by **lifecycle** only — `proposed/` / `implemented/` / `rejected/`. Nothing recorded what *kind* of decision each RFC was. The index was one flat list per lifecycle, with no way to scan "show me every simplification" or "every testing-strategy decision." A wave of simplification RFCs landing on the same day made the gap concrete: a reader skimming `proposed/` could not tell a new capability from a removal from a tooling-policy change without opening each file.

This gate scans repo-authored `.ts` under `packages/**` and `examples/**` (excluding built `lib/` and `vendor/`) for `docs/….md` tokens, resolves each root-relative, and asserts it exists.

- **A `Classification:` prose line** in each file (next to `Status:`), parsed by the gate. Workable, but it duplicates into the file a fact the path can already carry, and a line can disagree with its folder. Path-encoding makes the label and its storage the same thing — there is nothing to keep in sync.

- **Auto-generating the README index** from the filesystem. Rejected here to keep the index hand-written; superseded by [generate the RFC index tables](2026-07-04-generate-rfc-index-tables.md) once stacked proposal waves made the hand-written tables the repo's most conflict-prone docs region — the tables are now generated between markers while the surrounding prose stays curated.

This repo's README and docs tree are read by people and agents inside and outside the company, in both English and Chinese. Maintaining a second language by hand, with no mechanism, is how translations rot: one side moves on, the other silently lies, and no gate notices. The repo's standing answer to invariants of this kind is to encode them as a mechanical check (see [quality gates](2026-06-11-quality-gates.md) and [doc-sync enforcement](2026-06-11-doc-sync-enforcement.md)), so the bilingual policy ships with one.

A reader — a plugin author, a prompt engineer, someone auditing what the agent can do — has no single place that lists the model-facing tools the harness ships. The `name` / `description` / JSON-Schema `parameters` a tool contributes are what the model actually receives (via `ctx.systemPrompt.tools()` off `ctx.tools.schemas()`), but they are scattered across each `defineTool` call in each `packages/*/tool-*` package, buried in string concatenation and runtime spreads. The cordis [events](../../../cordis-catalog/events.md) & [services](../../../cordis-catalog/services.md) catalogs ([their RFC](2026-06-20-generated-cordis-catalog.md)) document the *wiring* a plugin works against and the [core-data-structures catalog](../../../core-data-structures/core.md) documents the *vocabulary* those signatures move — but neither documents the *tools* the agent is offered.

The repo already had several high-trust documentation surfaces, each on a different axis: [module-graph.md](../../../module-graph.md) is generated from package `peerDependencies`, the generated [Cordis events](../../../cordis-catalog/events.md) and [services](../../../cordis-catalog/services.md) catalogs are generated from Cordis `Events` and `Context` declarations, [tool-catalog/tools.md](../../../tool-catalog/tools.md) is generated by booting shipped tool plugins, and [core-data-structures/](../../../core-data-structures/core.md) uses `ts type-equiv` blocks to keep pasted type definitions synchronized with source.
|
||||
|
||||
Those references are accurate, but they are mostly catalogs. A maintainer still has to synthesize the relationships: which packages form a capability seam, which app bundles a concrete spine, which event is durable vs live, where a hook or policy plugin can intercept work, and which model-facing tool depends on which service. An SDK user has the same problem from another angle: "Which package do I install or load for the behavior I want, and which event/service/tool do I extend?"
|
||||
|
||||
The pressure is already visible in the open stacks even though this implementation is based on `origin/master`: the hooks stack through PR #129 makes event producer/consumer topology and interception points much more important, while the filesystem stack through PR #128 makes capability seams, policy vetoes, tool presentation, and SDK assembly paths much more important. Graphs based only on today's small bash/todo/subagent surface would become obsolete as soon as those stacks land.
|
||||
The hooks subsystem makes event producer/consumer topology and interception points much more important, and the filesystem seam makes capability seams, policy vetoes, tool presentation, and SDK assembly paths much more important — relationship graphs scoped to a small bash/todo/subagent surface would have gone stale immediately.

The [generated cordis catalog](2026-06-20-generated-cordis-catalog.md) already walks every harness `interface Events` member and every `ctx.<key>` service class with the TypeScript compiler API, and already hard-errors on a missing `@mode` tag — a forcing function that made dispatch modes impossible to leave undocumented. Nothing equivalent guarded the rest of the JSDoc: a service method could ship with no doc at all, and no event or method documented its parameters or return value individually. A survey at adoption found 5 public service methods with no JSDoc and roughly 139 missing `@param`/`@returns` entries across 15 files — on the product API spine (`ctx.bash`, `ctx.fs`, `ctx.sessions`, …) and the cross-plugin event payload contracts, exactly the surface where "what does this argument mean" is the question a plugin author asks the IDE.

@@ -20,10 +20,16 @@ The contract:
|

- **Explicitness the walk can check**: the gate is a pure-AST pass (no type checker), so a service method must annotate its return type (an inferred return cannot be classified) and surface parameters must be simple identifiers (a binding pattern has no name for `@param` to match).
|

- **Violations aggregate** into one error listing every offender — a remediation pass sees the whole list at once. The previously fail-fast `@mode` checks moved into the same aggregated report, with their message texts unchanged.

The tags are **enforcement-only**: `parseJsDoc` now ends description prose at the first block tag (standard JSDoc semantics, which also stops multi-line tag descriptions from leaking into the catalog as prose), so `@param`/`@returns` never change the rendered catalog. Rendering them — restructuring the services section into per-method entries — was considered and deliberately deferred: source JSDoc plus IDE hover is where method docs are consumed, and the catalog stays an index. No escape-hatch tag exists; the surface is small and curated (12 services, 57 methods, 27 events at adoption), and the point is that the check cannot be waved off.

Two thin consumers share it:
|
||||
|
||||
- [`scripts/gen-rfc-index.ts`](../../../../scripts/gen-rfc-index.ts) (`pnpm run gen-rfc-index`) rewrites the three marker-delimited regions in the README (`<!-- gen-rfc-index:begin {lifecycle} -->` … `end`), one per `## {Lifecycle}` section, leaving everything outside the markers untouched.
|
||||
- [`scripts/verify-rfc-classification.ts`](../../../../scripts/verify-rfc-classification.ts) (a `doc-sync` member) checks structure and asserts the committed regions byte-match a fresh render — the `gen-cordis-catalog`/`verify-cordis-catalog` pattern. Freshness subsumes the index-completeness check: a generated-from-disk table is definitionally complete and correctly headed.

It catches mistakes but still makes every proposal edit a shared hotspot, and a failed verifier is strictly more annoying than a generator for a purely mechanical row: the author has already named and placed the file; the index copy adds no information. This is the same hand-list-versus-derivation judgment the [package-inventory proposal](../../proposed/process/2026-06-20-discover-package-inventory.md) applies to tsconfig references and knip stanzas — applied to the one list that demonstrably conflicts.
|
||||
### Why not marker-delimited regions inside README.md?
|
||||
|
||||
The first landed shape: the generator spliced the tables into README.md between `gen-rfc-index` marker comments, under each `## {Lifecycle}` heading. Superseded by the whole-file INDEX.md once the README also absorbed the in-file format contract ([the uniform-format RFC](2026-07-05-uniform-rfc-format.md)): a front-door README hosting hundreds of generated rows dwarfed its curated prose, and splice mechanics (marker pairs, heading checks, outside-region row detection) exist only to protect curated text that a dedicated generated file simply doesn't contain.

The session event log is the harness's on-disk contract: every `SessionEventMap` member is a record a persistence backend writes verbatim and a replay reconstructs from, and adding one that breaks the durability rules is a breaking change to the on-disk format.

The declarations are split across three files — the owning interface in `@deepseek-ai/dsh-session` plus declaration merges in `@deepseek-ai/dsh-compact` and `@deepseek-ai/dsh-hook-protocol` — and the doc surfaces covered it with hand-copies: a `hook/*` payload table in [session.md](../../../core-data-structures/session.md), a `compact/*` payload table in the compact README, payload bullets in the hook-protocol README, and a name-list in the session README. The name-list's merge note had already drifted (it named the compaction merge and omitted the hook merge entirely), and nothing could catch the next merge going undocumented: a hand-copy only checks the names someone already wrote down. This is the same gap the [cordis catalog](2026-06-20-generated-cordis-catalog.md) closed for bus events and the [tool catalog](2026-07-02-tool-schema-catalog.md) closed for model-facing tools — and log events are covered by neither: a `SessionEventMap` member is not a cordis `Events` declaration (it reaches listeners via the single `session/event` emit), so it has no cordis-catalog row by design.

Generate `docs/persistence-catalog/log-events.md` from source, with a freshness gate, as the fourth reference surface: the *records* a persisted session log can contain, complementing the cordis catalog (wiring), core-data-structures (vocabulary), and the tool catalog (tools).

`scripts/gen-persistence-catalog.ts` is a pure TypeScript-AST pass, like `gen-cordis-catalog.ts` and unlike the boot-based tool catalog — the right technique because log events ARE statically knowable: every member is a string-literal-named property with a static type annotation, so the AST is the whole truth. The walk collects every `interface SessionEventMap` declaration under `packages/*/*/src` — the owning top-level interface and every `declare module '@deepseek-ai/dsh-session'` merge — so a brand-new event, core or merged, appears in the next regenerate and an un-regenerated file fails `--check` (`verify-persistence-catalog`, a `doc-sync` member, so pre-push and CI both run it). Each entry renders the member's JSDoc prose, its payload (printed through the TypeScript printer, so a newline-separated multi-line type literal still yields a valid one-line fragment), a surface badge, cross-links into core-data-structures, and the declaration's source pointer, grouped by scope.

This supersedes the hand-copies: the session.md `hook/*` table, the compact README's event table, the hook-protocol README's payload bullets, and the session README's name-list now link the catalog instead of restating payloads (the surrounding semantics prose stays where it was). The two stray `@mode emit` tags on the hook-protocol merge members are removed — the new gate rejects them as the category error they were.

## Alternatives considered
|
||||
|

- **A boot-based generator, like the tool catalog's** — the log vocabulary is fully static, so the AST pass reads the whole truth without booting anything.
|

- **Keeping the hand-copies** — a hand-copy only checks the names someone already wrote down; the session README's merge note had already drifted when the catalog landed.

## Consequences

|

- The catalog cannot drift: a vocabulary change the committed file doesn't reflect fails `verify-persistence-catalog` in the pre-push hook and CI, and a new merged event with no JSDoc fails the generator outright — a plugin can no longer add an undocumented on-disk record type.

# RFC: One gated in-file format for RFCs
|
||||
|
||||
Status: implemented
|
||||
|
||||
## Problem
|
||||
|
||||
The tree's layout is uniform — [the classification scheme](2026-06-20-rfc-classification.md) path-encodes lifecycle and class and gates both — but the file insides never were. The corpus the format decision faced had two H1 spellings; some fifteen `Status:` line spellings, from bare enums through dated parentheticals duplicating what the filename and git already carry, to four files with no status at all; two body genres side by side (ADR-style `Context`/`Decision`/`Consequences` beside proposal-style `Problem`/`Proposal`/`Risks`), so every new RFC guessed its shape from whichever neighbor its author opened; thirty-nine files carrying a debt comment that flagged them as "legacy ADR/RFC body format" awaiting a unified template that was never actually defined; and over twenty implemented RFCs still carrying the proposal-era headings (`Acceptance criteria`, `Plan`, `Migration plan`) that the [documentation standard's slop checklist](../../../AGENTS.md) outlaws for `implemented/` — outlawed, but enforced by nothing, so the `proposed/` → `implemented/` move could silently skip the rewrite [implemented/AGENTS.md](../AGENTS.md) requires.
|
||||
|
||||
## Decision
|
||||
|
||||
[README.md § The file format](../../README.md#the-file-format) is the in-file contract — the header block (`# RFC: <title>` plus a dateless, folder-agreeing `Status:` enum whose only content is the rejection reason), the per-lifecycle body skeleton (`Problem` opener everywhere; `Proposal`/`Acceptance criteria`/`Risks` in `proposed/`; present-tense `Decision`/`Consequences` with proposal-era headings banned in `implemented/`; frozen proposal shape in `rejected/`), a mandatory `Alternatives considered` section, and the canonical section vocabulary between which bespoke technical sections stay free-form. `pnpm run verify-rfc-format` ([scripts/verify-rfc-format.ts](../../../../scripts/verify-rfc-format.ts)) enforces every mechanical clause as part of `doc-sync`, so a lifecycle move that skips its rewrite now fails CI instead of review memory.
|
||||
|
||||
The whole corpus was normalized in the same change that defined the format — the pre-release stance: no transition period, no dual-format tolerance. The one grandfather is content, not format: alternatives are recorded, never invented, so a pre-format RFC whose alternatives are not reconstructible from the record carries the exact `rfc-format: alternatives-not-recorded` comment, which the gate accepts only for files dated before this RFC.
|
||||
|
||||
## Alternatives considered
|
||||
|
||||
- **A full rigid template** (one fixed section sequence per lifecycle, every RFC restructured to fit) — rejected: the big design RFCs carry eight to fifteen bespoke technical sections (package topology, wire contracts, schemas) that are load-bearing content, not drift; a rigid sequence would force destructive rewrites now and template-fighting forever.
|
||||
- **Header-only normalization** (H1 and Status, bodies untouched) — rejected: the debt markers flagged the *body* genre split, and leaving `Context`/`Decision` beside `Problem`/`Proposal` indefinitely resolves nothing.
|
||||
- **No Status line** (the folder already is the status; the four newest pre-format RFCs omitted the line) — rejected in favor of keeping a self-describing file: the drift risk that motivated dropping it is neutralized by gating the line against the folder instead.
|
||||
- **Dated status** (`Status: implemented (accepted YYYY-MM-DD)`) — rejected: the acceptance date is narrated history the writing rules keep out of docs; the filename carries first-proposed, git carries the rest, and the gate could check a date's format but never its truth.
|
||||
- **A bare `# <title>` H1** — rejected: the `RFC: ` prefix is the corpus-majority form and self-describes the genre when a file is read outside its tree; the index generator strips it, so index rows are identical either way.
|
||||
- **`## What we give up` as the implemented closer** (the README's own phrase for what an RFC records) — rejected: it names only costs, and an honest consequences section records what the trade-off bought as well.
|
||||
- **Convention without a gate** (write the contract down, enforce by review) — rejected: the slop checklist already outlawed spec-speak in `implemented/` by convention, and over twenty files show what convention alone achieves here.
|
||||
- **A standalone `FORMAT.md` contract file** — the first landed home; folded into README.md once the generated index moved out to [INDEX.md](../../INDEX.md): with the tables gone the README regained the room, and one front door carrying layout, classification, and format beats splitting the contract across two files.
|
||||
|
||||
## Consequences
|
||||
|
||||
Every RFC now costs slightly more structure, and the mandatory `Alternatives considered` section is deliberate friction: a decision recorded without what it beat invites the re-litigation RFCs exist to prevent. Pre-format RFCs whose alternatives were not reconstructible carry the grandfather comment permanently — an honest gap on the record rather than fabricated rationale. `doc-sync` gains one gate, and moving an RFC between lifecycle folders is now real work at move time (the body rewrite the move always owed) instead of deferred cleanup nothing tracked. The thirty-nine debt markers are gone, resolved by the template they were waiting for.
