The baseline is injected at the first `agent/step` of each live session. It reads `$DSH_HOME/AGENTS.md` followed by, in each directory from the project root to `agent.session.header.cwd`, every existing base candidate and then every existing local-overlay candidate. Within one directory, candidates whose content is byte-identical after trimming leading and trailing whitespace collapse to the earliest candidate in configured order, so a `CLAUDE.md` that merely duplicates its sibling `AGENTS.md` is rendered once. The durable sourced `user/message` enters the same request as the claimed prompt.

If a later surface replacement such as compaction shadows that baseline, `system-prompt/assemble` recomposes and injects the current chain before the loop snapshots its next request.

The plugin also listens on `tools/post-execute` for successful first-party `read`, `write`, and `edit` calls. Each touch checks newly reached descendant scopes and every previously loaded scope. Each configured candidate name is an independent scope in its directory: a newly present file is attached through the result's `additionalContexts`; a changed file appends a replacement; a file that disappears or becomes a per-directory duplicate of an earlier candidate appends a removal notice. Native calls and Code Mode sub-dispatches share this path: `run_code` defers each nested context until its outer result, so the loop still appends updates after tool-call/result adjacency is complete. This follows structured filesystem activity rather than shell `cd`, because each local bash call starts a fresh shell and parsing arbitrary shell syntax would be unreliable.

An unchanged path and SHA-1 content digest is not injected again. A per-session, per-scope provider cache stores only `{ path, version, digest, trimmedDigest }`: when the provider's opaque `FsVersion` and the effective visible state both match, reconciliation skips the content read; a changed version triggers a bounded read and SHA-1 confirmation before any model-visible update. The `trimmedDigest` — SHA-1 over the whitespace-trimmed content — is the per-directory duplicate key, so an unchanged file can still be removed when an earlier candidate converges on its content. Resume works because SHA-1 state is persisted in the typed source, while an empty in-memory version cache merely causes one confirming read. Compaction re-arms a scope after its context event leaves the visible surface even when the cached version is unchanged. A removal is a tombstone, so a later candidate reappearance is loaded again. Only model-visible changes actually rendered within the byte budget enter the source, pending state, and version cache; an omitted change remains eligible for a later touch, while a same-digest version refresh updates only the provider cache.

||||
The initial baseline event itself is not rewritten. Its typed changes remain authoritative only while that event is in the visible session surface; the next successful filesystem touch re-adds an unchanged baseline scope after compaction, or appends its replacement or removal. The in-memory scope marker and provider-version cache only select and accelerate probes. A hot plugin remount retains a baseline only when its typed event remains visible, while rebuilding current scope and version tracking; otherwise it injects a current baseline. A resumed loop always recomposes the current baseline and also reconciles still-visible dynamic scopes before its first request. There is no file watcher, so an on-disk change becomes visible at the next successful `read`, `write`, or `edit` touch, or when a resumed loop prepares its baseline.

## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
|
||||
|
||||
- **Discovery follows structured fs tools, not shell navigation** — a `bash` command that changes directories does not trigger nested instruction discovery because shell syntax and per-call shell state are not a reliable filesystem seam.
|
||||
- **Refresh is touch-driven** — there is no watcher; external edits become visible on the next successful first-party `read`, `write`, or `edit`, or when a resumed loop prepares its baseline.

|
||||
- **Candidate semantics stay intentionally small** — lowercase names, `.claude/rules/`, and `@path` imports are not interpreted; project scopes load `AGENTS.local.md`/`CLAUDE.local.md` overlays by default, but the user-global `$DSH_HOME` scope has no local overlay and other custom names require explicit candidate configuration.
|
||||
- **Per-directory dedup is content-based** — sibling candidates collapse only when byte-identical after trimming leading and trailing whitespace; a `CLAUDE.md` that symlinks its sibling `AGENTS.md` resolves to the same content and collapses like any duplicate, while a distinct real copy that has drifted from `AGENTS.md` loads in full alongside it.
|
||||
- **Symlinked instruction files are followed across the trust boundary** — a candidate whose final component is a symlink is resolved and its target loaded, so a cloned repository can surface off-tree file content as lower-authority workspace guidance (it never overrides system, developer, or direct user instructions). Confine `ctx.fs` with the filesystem policy gate or an OS sandbox when loading untrusted repositories.
