P1 review finding: extractMeta timed only the literal's vm evaluation;
materializing the RESULT then read properties ordinarily on the HOST
stack, so a meta literal smuggling a getter (get name() { while(true){} })
could wedge the host outside any timeout — defeating the exact spin
isolation the worker thread exists for.
Rather than harden the evaluator (descriptor walks, AST validation),
delete the mechanism: the workflow's identity now reaches the seam as a
plain JSON field (WorkflowStartRequest.meta), carried by the tool as a
schema-validated `meta` object parameter the model fills directly. The
engine only shape-validates data (validateMeta, every violation named)
and pre-parses the body; the scanner, the vm evaluation, and the
host-side materialization are gone, and with them the hole. A body
still opening with a Claude Code-style `export const meta` statement
gets a pointed SCRIPT_PARSE message (the likeliest authoring slip; a
CC script's body stays drop-in, only its meta header moves into the
parameter). syncTimeoutMs now governs exactly one thing: the initial
synchronous slice inside the worker.
The RFC's decision section is rewritten in place (implemented-RFC
rule); the embedded-meta format moves to alternatives-considered with
the hole as the reason. Tool description, presentation (title now reads
meta.name directly — the textual sniff is gone), seam vocabulary docs,
and catalogs follow.
Pure mechanical rename now that the package's internals are the
worker-thread engine: directory, package name, spec/e2e filenames,
module tags and logger prefixes, tsconfig/knip/run-gates/AGENTS.md
references, example cordis.yml plugin ids, doc links; catalogs
regenerated and the lockfile refreshed.
The outer ring catches up with the engine swap (the package's own
README/JSDoc rode the port commit):
- Seam module doc and README name the worker-thread engine as THE
implementation, with isolated-vm/separate-process sandboxing as the
deferred hardening; the seam service doc states the holder-owned-runs
contract (engine-fiber disposal deliberately leaves live runs to
their holders).
- Seam contract precision: agentsStarted documents the termination-path
degradation to the host-observed count; the events section scopes the
agent-start/agent-end pair to calls that STARTED a child run;
WorkflowRun wording drops the vm-era abandonment language.
- The dynamic-workflows RFC is rewritten in place to the shipped
mechanism (implemented-RFC rule): why worker threads, the thread's
concrete buys, the in-process node:vm first cut recorded under
alternatives considered; the tool section describes the usage policy
as the tool's own prompt section.
- gen-doc-graphs: six workflow/* DYNAMIC_EVENT_DISPATCHERS entries (the
catalog no longer claims nothing dispatches them) and the seam-note
wording; core-data-structures gains its workflow.md index row;
packages/README + AGENTS.md layout line + example cordis.yml comments
say worker-thread; catalogs regenerated.
The RFC's deployment-policy decision is unchanged; state the current
mechanism in place — the per-tool budget is declared on ToolDefinition
(timeoutMs, set by the owning tool plugin from its config) and the
enforcer is zero-config, so a mistyped tool name is impossible.
Regenerate config-catalog (timeout-policy -> no-config; tool-web gains
fetch/searchTimeoutMs), the event graph (tools/change loses its
timeout-policy consumer), the ToolDefinition type-equiv block, and a
source-line drift in the cordis services catalog.
Model-facing tool-call budgets were tangled into each capability's schema
(bash timeoutMs, web_fetch timeout_ms) with no shared home. Add a
tools/execute around-dispatch waterfall to dsh-tools whose base next() is
the dispatch-with-normalization thunk, and a new @deepseek-ai/dsh-timeout-policy
plugin (packages/timeout/) that arms a per-tool deadline on exec.signal and
returns a structured TOOL_TIMEOUT when it wins. Migrate web_fetch (drop the
model-facing timeout_ms) and web_search onto it; the fetch provider keeps its
timeout only as a resource backstop for direct callers. bash and hook command
execution keep BASH_TIMEOUT unchanged.
Named the plugin timeout-policy (not the RFC's tool-timeout) so it does not
trip the gen-tool-catalog packages/*/tool-* completeness guard, and replace
exec.signal by in-place mutation before next() since cordis waterfall next()
ignores passed arguments. RFC moved to implemented/ recording both deviations.
A client-callback throw only becomes a JSON-RPC error RESPONSE to the
agent's session/request_permission — runScenario itself kept going, so a
tolerant agent could treat the error as a denial and the scenario would
pass, or worse, record: the impossible click baked into fixture and
golden, green on every replay. The mismatch is now captured as a harness
error while the agent is answered plain cancelled (a well-defined path
it cannot reinterpret), and the step loop rejects the run on it as soon
as the in-flight step settles. The spec asserts the rejection instead of
the agent-side error echo.
The package, coverage, and permission scripting all shipped on this
branch, so the RFC moves to implemented/ with the lifecycle rewrite:
Proposal becomes a present-tense Decision, Acceptance criteria and Risks
fold into Testing/Consequences with what actually pinned each one (the
zero-byte extraction parity, the 100% per-file coverage via the fake
bin, the vitest-in-src caveat, the per-suite pin cost).
The snapshot tier's machinery leaves examples/acp-agent/tests for
packages/support/acp-snapshot (@deepseek-ai/dsh-acp-snapshot), where the
coverage gate measures it and a second example can consume it instead of
forking it: harness.ts (runScenario, parameterized by an AgentUnderTest
{binScript, configPath, tsconfigPath} instead of module constants),
normalize.ts (moved verbatim), and suite.ts (defineAcpSnapshotSuite — the
per-scenario golden/log compares, record write-back, per-suite header pin
with its uniformity guard, and the fixture guard block, lifted from
acp.snapshot.ts). The example file collapses to its scenario table plus
one factory call; env reading (DSH_SNAPSHOT) stays at that edge.
The exactly-one-pin meta-test generalizes from the hardcoded text-turn
name to "exactly one per suite" — which scenario pins is the scenario
table's reviewable choice (per-suite pinning per the proposal RFC).
Extraction parity: pnpm run test:snapshot is 36 passed + fs-policy-reject
failing BEFORE AND AFTER (BSD-sed environment failure, reproduced at the
base commit in a clean worktree — the recorded golden's sed -i syntax is
GNU-only), with zero byte changes under examples/acp-agent/tests/snapshots/.
Coverage for the new src files lands in the next commit.
The Date.now()/Math.random()/argless-new-Date() bans existed solely to
keep scripts resume-compatible for the deferred journaling/resume
feature. Pre-support for an unimplemented feature is speculative cost:
scripts may now read the clock freely; implementing resume reintroduces
the bans as a script-contract tightening. The RFC's shipped-state
description is updated in place, the tool DESCRIPTION drops the
constraint sentence (the pinned text-turn header follows), and the
engine README's trust-premise paragraph now leans on absent globals
alone.
Review follow-up (#196): a listed name with no registered tool was silently
ignored; misconfiguration must block work instead. The check lives in the
assembly — the earliest moment the registered tool set exists (tool plugins
register after the service constructs) and the only universal one (cordis has
no "all plugins loaded" event; registrations change at any time). assemble()
is now async so the throw surfaces as a rejection rather than a synchronous
escape from a Promise-returning method.
Blast radius, pinned by a loop-level test: the rejection reaches the turn's
outer catch — the turn closes balanced with an `error` reason, agent/error
mirrors it, no step opens, no request/header is logged, no request reaches
the adapter, and the agent returns to idle; every turn fails identically
until the config is fixed. A boot-time validation pass was considered and
rejected (recorded in the RFC). The general principle — misconfiguration
fails loud, never a silent skip — is added to AGENTS.md.
A three-dot rest entry reads as elision in a cordis.yml; the spelled-out
sentinel says what lands there. The literal now appears once in code (the
constant) and once in the value-pinning test; every other reference — the
forwarding tests included — imports TOOL_ORDER_REST, which adds the
dsh-system-prompt devDependency to the two app packages.
Review follow-up on #196.
- run-gates.ts docSyncLeafGates() gains verify-export-jsdoc — CI lanes
and the pre-push hook execute this leaf list, not the doc-sync npm
script, so the gate was previously unenforced there (proven by
SessionForkErrorCode landing undocumented via a master merge while
checks stayed green; now documented). Same wiring gap fixed for
master's verify-config-catalog, which was also missing from the list.
- The heritage exemption now recovers the base's return surface: a void
base return carried no @returns duty, so an override returning a
concrete result documents it itself (annotated overrides run the
standard check; unannotated ones are classified by the checker so
faithful void overrides need no boilerplate annotation). Three new
negative-path tests pin it; RFC and module doc updated.
- AGENTS.md states each principle inline instead of citing RFCs (eight
citations removed; high-level doc links kept) and the editing section
now carries the self-containedness rule.
- Generated catalogs/graphs regenerated for the shifted line pointers.
The #192 review discussion, preserved where design rationale lives: a
schema-object library (zod/schemastery) cannot sit at a wire-data boundary;
ajv replaces only the value walker while the subset gate — the module's
point — stays hand-written; provider JSON mode guarantees valid JSON, not
schema-conforming JSON, and would trade away mid-run tools and in-turn
validation retry for it. Strict tool schemas are named as the accepted
upgrade path when the provider ships them.
The parent branch dropped structuredNudgeRetries; the two workflow-side test
setups stop passing it, and the RFC's foundation paragraph now describes the
current design (final-ASSEMBLY enforcement logged via request/header, the
post-capture pre-execute deny, the start() schema snapshot, no re-prompt)
instead of the retired agent/request + nudge shape.
Residuals from the Codex re-review:
1. A system delta's insert was flattened to one token, so deltas differing
only in inserted-line count compared equal. Now one {{system}} token per
inserted line — position AND extent survive, content does not.
2. The live uniformity guard folded only request/header snapshots, so a
mid-run header CHANGE (request/header-delta) could diverge from the pin
invisibly. Non-pinning runs now assert zero header-delta events: a
scenario that legitimately changes its header mid-run exists to show
that change, so it must pin (fail-loud until it does).
Codex review findings on the pinned-header change:
1. scrubRequestHeaders flattened a request/header-delta's whole
system/tools payload to one token, so two meaningfully different deltas
compared equal. Now the structural facts survive — keepStart/keepEnd
line positions, added/removed/changed tool NAMES — and only the bulk
(inserted prompt lines, schema bodies) is tokenized.
2. The one-pin design rested on an unasserted premise (all sessions
compose the same header). Every non-pinning scenario now asserts, live,
that each request/header its run produces equals the pinned fixture's
header (both sides normalized against their own volatile values), so a
session-dependent header fails loud until it gets its own pin.
Verified the guard bites: perturbing the pinned fixture's prompt fails
a non-pinned scenario with the intended message.
3. RFC de-slopped per docs/AGENTS.md: no PR reference, no SHOULD
spec-speak; Decision/Verification/Consequences updated for 1 and 2.
