Moving the agent plane behind presets left two readers on the wrong side of
the host/agent line.
`dsh-token-meter` was disabled on the host and mounted inside each preset's
`compaction` realm, but its three projection units register into the
process-wide `sessionProjections` table. A unit registered from one preset
answers for every session, so whether a `minimal` session showed a context
meter depended on whether some other session had mounted `standard` since
boot, and a process that only ever ran `minimal` showed none. The meter takes
no configuration, keys every fold by Session, and registers no tool or prompt
section, so it returns to the host composition and leaves the presets'
`isolate` map; the realm and `compact-basic` stay, because what a preset
chooses is whether its agent compacts, not whether its tokens are counted.
Nothing named an agent that joined no preset. The join is a scope-parent link,
and without it the tools, prompt-section, and skill views resolve the empty
global layer: the agent publishes, the turn runs, and the model receives
nothing. `AgentPresets` now logs one warning per such agent while a roster is
configured, and the invariant companion fails outright — at
`system-prompt/assemble` rather than at publication, because an unjoined agent
is legal until it addresses a model and `recompose` binds exactly such an
agent. The warning stays advisory: a synchronous `agent/created` throw vetoes
publication, and the ACP bridge, SDK server, and headless bundle all create an
unjoined agent today.
Three limits are recorded rather than fixed: projection key presence is not a
per-session capability signal, a superseded standing generation is never
reclaimed, and a `cordis_mount` temporary plugin belongs to the composition
rather than the session that mounted it.
Fixes#2203
The shipped headless profile is base + headless (the direct-core front
door), and its installation-owned migration rewrites the old three-bundle
tuple down to that template, so a one-shot run composes no preset roster.
The runner's optional preset composition was compensating in the wrong
direction: it re-added roster reads the shipped profile never satisfies,
and its golden pinned a header field only a roster-bearing deployment
produces. The runner, the headless bundle manifest, and the dsh-run golden
return to the direct shape; skills in a direct run flow through the base
host rows' global layer, which is what the repository-plugin e2e proves.
Delete design-session citations (decision/audit/plan ordinals, stack
positions), change narration, review choreography, and reviewer-addressed
justification from comments, JSDoc, docs, READMEs, Agent Notes, tests, and
generator templates; restate every affected fact as current-state contract
prose. Fix generated docs at their sources and regenerate the catalogs and
cordis-surface regions; re-paste type-equiv blocks; update every bilingual
counterpart and re-record the pairs. Record the citation rule in the
committed-artifact-citations Agent Note.
Descriptor-phase errnos in readTextForDiff fold to before: null so a file
deleted or made unreadable after the caller's preflight cannot fail the
committed write; cancellation and non-errno faults still propagate. Drops
the now-covered isFile v8 ignore, extends llm-replay with catalog
capability parity (defaultMaxTokens/reasoningEfforts), and records the
fs-write-overwrite-bounded keyless snapshot pinning the over-limit
whole-file fallback through the real acp-agent composition.
Move the triplet to implemented/architecture/, rewrite Proposal into a
present-tense Decision, fold Acceptance criteria and Risks into
Consequences (recording what pins the result), retitle the migration
section to what the move actually touched, and repoint the seven
inbound FIXME/README links.
