Every changed golden gains only the preset label and the settings row's copy —
78 insertions, no deletions — which is this layer's surface appearing where it
was always going to appear.
The browser e2e lane had been failing wholesale since this stack moved the
agent plane into presets, and nothing caught it: 34 of 48 files. Two of the
causes are product defects, not test breakage.
`bashEnv` goes back to the host plane. `apps/cli/src/web.ts` injects it to
publish `DSH_WEB_URL`/`DSH_WEB_MODE`, so the earlier note that "nothing outside
the agent plane injects bashEnv" was simply wrong — behind a preset's `shell`
realm those variables reached no shell at all, and a `dsh web` agent could not
find the address of its own interface. This is the same criterion that returned
`subagents`: a host row that injects a service resolves before any session
exists and has no agent to key by, so the service is host-plane. `tool-bash`
consumes the host registry from inside the preset, which works because an
agent context chains to the host; only the reverse is invisible.
`tool-subagent-report` goes back with it. It is not a tool this agent calls: it
registers a continuable SETUP on the host `subagents` singleton, and that list
is not scope-aware. One copy per mounted preset meant every child was handed
`report` once per live session, so the second registration threw and a cold
subagent resume failed with `subagent-not-resumable` — a diagnostic three
layers removed from the cause.
The lane's own composition facts follow. Skill roots resolve inside a preset
now, a subtree include patches cannot reach, so the scaffold pins the roots'
documented environment fallback for its whole lifetime rather than for the boot
— presets mount per session. Without it the developer's real `~/.dsh/skills`
enters replay requests and goldens while CI sees none. The `apps/cli`
composition test pins `storage-json` for the same reason: unpinned it wrote,
and then read back, the developer's own `~/.dsh/storages/`.
Three tests now address through an agent what they used to read off the root
context, because that is where the thing lives: the tool catalog, the skill
registry, and the token meter. The seeded-history projection baseline asserts
the opposite of what it did — a detached session yields a preset-plane
projection only from a durable checkpoint written while it was live, and this
seed was written straight to persistence and never ran.
Goldens re-recorded for the hero's preset chip and the settings nav entry.
Both Workspace surfaces offered "Open local folder…" and "Create a new
workspace" for one outcome. The browse occupant already carries its own
New folder affordance, so picking a directory covered creating one; the
name dialog only added a second vocabulary and a create target the
operator could neither see nor choose.
The surviving entry is named after the outcome — "Add workspace…" — and a
menu now appears only where there is something to choose between: with no
Workspace listed (the add-only sidebar header, or an empty hero list) the
anchor gesture raises the directory flow directly instead of a one-row
popover. An empty list counts as final only after the list baseline lands,
and a composition with no directory-flow occupant hides the sidebar button
rather than offering a dead one.
WorkspaceCreateFlow becomes WorkspacePickFlow (createOnly -> addOnly) and
the injected createWorkspace narrows to { path }. The host's
workspace.create({ name }) branch and `dsh web --workspace-root` lost their
last product consumer; both are marked at the call site for a follow-up.
