Implement the continuable background subagents RFC: a durable child
session with a series of Task-backed activations, each disposing its
run before the Task settles.
- dsh-subagent: rename SubagentRun.sendMessage to strict steer, drop
run-level resume, add SubagentProvider.resume dispatch via
SubagentService.resume, the continuation start field, and the
versioned model-hidden subagent/descriptor session event.
- dsh-subagent-inprocess/-spawn/-fork: publish the control-allocated
child id, append the descriptor inside the initial turn, implement
cold resume from the child's own transcript under the live parent
scope, and strict running-only steer.
- dsh-subagent-control (new): SubagentControlService owning stable
child ids, descriptor snapshot/fold/authorization, Task-backed
activation with settle-then-dispose ordering, the process-local
active-run association, and steer-or-resume sendMessage routing.
- dsh-tool-subagent: background route branches on the provider's
resume capability (continuable via the control service; one-shot
task for ACP), returning both child and task ids.
- dsh-tool-subagent-control (new): the globally named send_message
tool rendering steered/started routes.
Keyless coverage spans Task ownership and disposal ordering, running
delivery, cold follow-up, descriptor rejection and rollback, known-id
reconstruction, kill during lookup, admission races, and a new
subagent-continuable ACP snapshot scenario.
Resolve the agent-loop import conflict by retaining both durable request context and runtime policy context. Refresh the combined session fixtures and regenerate documentation catalogs. Mark PDF artifacts as binary so staged whitespace checks do not parse PDF bytes as text.
The remaining P1 from the #939 review, plus the P2 it shares a mechanism with.
Nothing carried a version, so two tabs editing one namespace silently
overwrote each other — reproduced as tab B's `reasoning` lost to tab A's
older draft. The seam's per-namespace write queue orders writes; it cannot
tell a fresh writer from one replaying a snapshot a predecessor superseded.
Each namespace now carries a monotonic `revision` over its RAW section. A
write may send `expectedRevision`, checked at the FRONT of the queue (not at
call time, which would race the very predecessor it guards against); a
mismatch rejects with `SettingsConflictError` → `settings-conflict` on the
wire, carrying both revisions. The editor captures the revision it opened at
and, on conflict, asks the user to reopen rather than replaying its snapshot.
The same counter fixes the missing broadcast. `settings/updated` is gated on
the resolved value — correct for consumers, wrong for configuration surfaces:
storing an override equal to the composition base leaves the resolved value
alone while changing what the document says (the field is now overridden, not
inherited) and moving every open editor's revision. `settings/document-updated
(ns, revision)` fires on any raw-section change, in-process or external, and
`host/settings-changed` now rides it.
That event also closes the stale model picker: editing a provider's `models`
changes no route, so `llm/adapters-updated` never fired and an open picker
kept serving the old catalog. A change to an exposed provider namespace now
emits `host/models-changed` too — that namespace holds the catalog.
Docs: both sides of the five touched README pairs, a type-equiv block for
`SettingsPathOp`, and an Agent Note recording what the plane exposes and who
may overwrite what. The deferred wire-redaction gaps (secrets behind
union/intersection/transform, `.default(...)` in the served envelope, schema
text in rejection messages, `new Function` rehydration, pi-ai's `headers`) are
recorded as TODO(settings-wire-redaction) and in Known Limitations rather than
half-fixed.
grep and glob returned only model-facing text; the structured matches/paths
never reached the client. Add a card:'search' result view with a kind
discriminant ('matches' grouped by file for grep, 'paths' for glob), projected
through each tool's output.presentationMeta and read back in presentResult. The
projections re-apply the same inline cap and per-line budget as the render text
and report total + truncated, so a UI never presents a capped page as complete.
A UI without the search card falls back to content; the TUI is unchanged. The
web consumer is a follow-up.
Both provider READMEs state what actually holds: credentials-local now
documents the physical-line editor, the read-modify-write under the
writer lock, and a Security boundary section saying plainly that the file
mode stops other OS users and not the model. sandbox-policy documents
readDenyPaths and its per-backend enforcement. The llm READMEs carry the
registration handle, pi-ai's credential-miss semantics, and DeepSeek's
same-generation snapshot; app-boot and the CLI README stop describing
$DSH_HOME/.env as an environment layer.
A new Agent Note records the round (and the prior seam note cross-links
it); the sandbox and core catalog pages gain readDenyPaths and
AdapterRegistrationHandle with their manifest entries. The headless
missing-credential snapshot re-records for the reworded guidance, pi-ai
gains the Loader-composition guard its twin already had, and the
deliberate provider symmetry is marked for the clone detector.
The chat stats line took its token totals from the loaded conversation nodes,
so paging changed them and compaction erased the billing behind replaced
content. It also had no way to show context occupancy: the numerator and
capacity never reached the browser.
Both now come from token-meter session projections read through the standard
useProjection seat. Window nodes keep supplying turn and step counts plus LLM
and tool wall times, which are correctly window-scoped facts about what is on
screen; accounting no longer comes from there.
`tokenUsage` supplies billing and cache hit. `contextPressure` supplies
occupancy, pairing the newest provider-reported prompt size with the newest
capacity recorded by `request/context`. Deployments without token-meter drop
the token groups; a route whose adapter advertises no capacity drops the
occupancy group rather than rendering a placeholder.
Occupancy is deliberately approximate: the numerator and capacity are
independent last-wins fields, not one atomic request observation, so switching
models pairs a fresh capacity with the prior route's pressure until the next
request reports usage. It is a user-facing reference figure that nothing in the
harness makes decisions from, and it matches how the TUI status line has always
computed occupancy. The Agent Note and token-meter README state this as a
decision, including why the atomic alternative was implemented and rejected, so
it is not re-litigated as a defect.
Snapshot delta is one added `Context N% of 128K` segment across eight web
goldens; the preceding commit absorbed master's pre-existing golden drift.
The seam README states the JSON-shaped write boundary, watch-disposer
quiescence, async listener containment, and the drained teardown; the
provider README rewrites Behavior around the operation chain,
read-modify-write, writer lock, ready reconcile, and leaf-level YAML
diffs, and updates Known Limitations to the residual guarantees.
A new Agent Note records the round's decisions and supersedes the
original note's deferred-lockfile alternative (cross-linked in place).
Chinese counterparts updated pair-by-pair (three briefed minimal
updates, one whole-document translation); type-equiv, config, cordis,
and module-graph catalogs re-recorded.
