Six verified A-findings from the code-stage review, each with a regression test:
- parallel()/pipeline() resolved to HOST arrays inside the vm realm, exposing
host Array.prototype to scripts; combinator results are now realm-built
(in-realm Array.from bound at context setup).
- materializeFromRealm ran proxy traps (ownKeys/getOwnPropertyDescriptor/
getPrototypeOf) during the descriptor walk — realm code on the host stack,
outside the vm timeout, escaping as raw errors; proxies (root, nested, and
in the prototype position) are now rejected trap-free via util.types.isProxy
before any inspection.
- an already-aborted signal or an immediate cancel() no longer reports
'completed' for a hook-free script: drive() checks cancellation before
running the body and again when the script settles.
- dispose() now waits (bounded by disposeGraceMs) for stray agent() children
to FINISH disposing, not just for the script to settle: every agent() call
is tracked and quiesce() drains the in-flight set.
- workflow/* event payloads were live mutable aliases shared across emissions;
emitWorkflowEvent now hands each listener its own structural clone.
- the structured-output turn-continuation veto is now prepend: true, so an
earlier-registered force-continue listener cannot short-circuit it.
Docs updated in the same change (READMEs, core-data-structures/workflow.md,
the dynamic-workflows RFC, regenerated cordis catalogs).
The seam vocabulary (SubagentStartRequest.outputSchema, SubagentResult
.structured) existed but no in-process backend honored it — spawn/fork
advertised outputSchema: false. This lands the missing half:
- dsh-tools gains a structured-output JSON Schema subset (json-schema.ts):
StructuredOutputSchema, assertSupportedOutputSchema (rejects loud outside
the enforced subset, every violation listed), validateStructuredValue
(path-qualified issues, total). outputSchema's seam type becomes this raw
JSON-Schema subset instead of the author-facing SchemaSpec DSL — the schema
travels verbatim to the model as a forced tool's parameters.
- dsh-subagent-inprocess gains the shared structured runtime: one global
structured_output capture tool (placeholder parameters) + a prepend:true
agent/request listener doing FINAL-REQUEST enforcement (strip for plain
agents, per-run schema for structured children — survives downstream
request-replacing listeners) + an agent/turn-continuation veto that stops
a child's turn once captured (no wasted extra model step). Lifetime is
refcounted by backends (plugin lifetime) AND live runs (start→settle).
- startInProcessRun drives the capture: subset asserted before the child
exists, instruction appended to the child's system prompt, clean-finish
nudge loop (structuredNudgeRetries, backend Config, default 1), captured
value on result.structured; a clean finish without a capture settles
'error' (never a silent success with a missing field).
- spawn + fork flip outputSchema: true and inject 'tools'.
The shared run driver lived inside dsh-subagent-spawn, so the spawn package
carried fork-aware seeding logic and dsh-subagent-fork depended backward on
dsh-subagent-spawn — the two in-process backends were not independent.
Move the driver (startInProcessRun, depthOf, SubagentDepthError,
InProcessRunOptions) into a new pure-library package
@deepseek-ai/dsh-subagent-inprocess that registers nothing. spawn and fork now
both depend only on that driver and neither knows about the other; spawn no
longer re-exports it and fork no longer imports from spawn.
Also wire BOTH backends in examples/coding-agent/cordis.yml (config-only): load
dsh-subagent-spawn + dsh-subagent-fork + two dsh-tool-subagent instances with
distinct toolNames (subagent → spawn, subagent_fork → fork), demonstrating that
exposing multiple transports needs no code change.
