Update the six touched client package README pairs (slash menu ordering,
localized group titles and dismiss, permission label twin, goal pause,
plan hint localization, useAnchoredMaxHeight) and keep the owning agent
notes current: SlashSource.order and the MenuView dismiss/localize/clamp
face in the slash-pipeline note, the pause verb in the goal bar note.
New unary method in RpcMethodMap with the title-invalid error code; the impl
resolves the agent (cold sessions resume first) and delegates to
ctx.sessionTitle.rename, returning the normalized title plus its event seq so
clients settle the title projection cell ahead of the push frame. session.fork
stays on the reserved-seam list.
Node 26.0.0 removed --experimental-transform-types, so the native
source-launch chain cannot start anywhere on that line, and strip-only
mode rejects the vendored syntax (parameter properties, decorators,
runtime enums/namespaces). Switch bin/dsh, the root dsh/demo:tui/
demo:web scripts, and the Code Mode TUI overlay to node --import
tsx/esm: one launch vector across the whole engines range, ~0.4s faster
than the full tsx default (the CJS hook stays off; the graph is
ESM-only).
Delete scripts/tspath-loader.ts and apps/cli/src/tsconfig-paths-loader.ts:
tsx owns both transformation and tsconfig paths projection. Add
dsh-source-launch-smoke to the node-compat gates so the 22.19/26 matrix
executes the real launch vector; no CI job did, which is how the Node 26
breakage shipped silently.
Supersedes the native-TypeScript-source-launch Agent Note (new note
records the profiling evidence and rejected alternatives).
The aborted exit no longer awaits close (Node queues it behind any
in-flight read, chaining the departed caller back onto the very stall
the abort escaped) — the abandoned close's failure is swallowed, it has
no consumer. Symlink stat probes race the signal too, with a
per-candidate abort check between probes, so a stalled probe target
cannot keep a departed request alive. The deferred handle cleanup after
a lost opendir race now consumes its own close failure instead of
leaking it as an unhandled rejection.
capability.list gains an optional AbortSignal threaded from the RPC
carrier's request signal (the pickDirectory pattern): a disconnected or
timed-out caller stops the opendir loop instead of the scan outliving
its caller, and the abort surfaces as its own reason rather than a
directory-unreadable dressing. boundedInsert rejects a full window's
at-or-beyond-tail candidate on one comparison and binary-inserts
retained candidates, so an oversized level no longer pays a window scan
per dirent.
The browse level now streams through opendir into a name-sorted window of
maxEntries + 1 candidates (boundedInsert), so memory stays O(maxEntries)
no matter how many children a directory holds and enterability probing
touches only windowed candidates; a windowed broken symlink is not
backfilled since the eviction already marks the level truncated.
schemastery joins the package's runtime dependencies (the source launcher
and isolated installs failed to resolve the value import). The
folder-error dialog's Choose again goes inert while the flow hole is
empty, and the withdrawal effect also keys on the open transition, so a
flow can never open over a hole nobody serves.
One list call now materializes at most maxEntries child rows (config,
default 1000 - GitHub's web-UI directory-listing bound). Candidates sort
before probing so a cut level keeps the name-sorted head and symlink
probing stops with the bound, and DirectoryListing carries a required
truncated flag on the seam and the wire so clients can state
incompleteness instead of silently missing tail entries.
- tsconfig.base.json still aliased the removed directory-picker-dialog and
offered no mapping for -native: on a clean tree, package-name imports and
source launches fell through to a missing lib/ until a build ran.
- The seam note (and the generated seam prose) no longer describe the
browse browser half as shipped here: it lands in the stacked follow-up,
and a -browse composition meanwhile shows the documented empty-hole
default (ds-review-bot).
directory-picker-browse becomes dual-face: its browser half fills
ui-workspace's two directory-flow holes with the Select Workspace Directory
dialog (figma Harness 813-23126 family — Miller two-column view, breadcrumb
with click-to-edit path zone, nested New-folder dialog), driving the node
half's host.listDirectory/host.createDirectory and owning its locale
namespace (directory-browser, zh default / en). The dialog moves here from
ui-workspace wholesale — the trigger surfaces keep only the flow-hole owner
conversation.
apps/cli flips its one directory-picker row -native -> -browse, swapping the
host backend and the client interaction together; picking now works for
remote deployments out of the box. The keyless workspace-flow snapshot boots
the browse bundle and drives menu -> dialog -> Documents -> project -> Open
against the fixture tree.
ui-workspace's two trigger surfaces each declare a single-kind directory-flow
hole (conversation.hero.workspace.directoryFlow / sidebar.workspaces.directoryFlow,
same owner contract) and keep only the trigger and the adoption: the Open-local-
folder entry renders while the surface's hole is occupied, and the occupant
reports one picked path per open through the hole's owner conversation
(open/busy/onPicked/onCancel/onError).
directory-picker-native becomes dual-face: its browser half fills both holes
with a renderless occupant driving host.pickDirectory, so the cordis.yml row
that mounts the backend also composes the client interaction — a mismatch is
impossible and a second flow package fails at client load.
With composition wiring both sides, the host.describe.directoryPicker
advertisement and the client's kind branching lose their last consumer:
the field, WorkspacesService.directoryPickerKind(), the DirectoryPickerKind
wire type, and the picker's per-open describe read are deleted. The connection
fixture now serves a deterministic pickDirectory path so the keyless snapshot
drives the full pick-then-adopt flow. ui-workspace's hand-rolled declaration
deferral is replaced by the deferRegistration helper it duplicated.
The browse interaction also presents a dialog (the in-app modal), so 'dialog'
failed to discriminate the two capability kinds; 'native' names where the
chooser runs. Package directory-picker-dialog -> directory-picker-native, kind
'dialog' -> 'native', with every seam/gateway/client/doc reference updated and
the seam Agent Note's naming rationale rewritten to match.
ds-review-bot round 2. The workspace UI never consulted the advertised
directoryPicker kind: under a browse (or merge-added) backend it still
rendered 'Open local folder…' and called pickDirectory(), which the host
answers with directory-picker-unavailable. The create flow now reads
directoryPickerKind() per menu open and renders the dialog affordance only
under 'dialog' — browse (until its in-app browser UI lands) and unknown
kinds hide the entry, realizing the seam's documented default; a keyless
workspace-flow snapshot pins the hidden entry over the browse fixture.
The browse backend also resolved wire paths, silently rebasing '' or
relative parents under the host process cwd; both primitives now reject
non-absolute explicit paths with their business codes, and the seam JSDoc
carries the contract.
Fetch-Metadata and Origin are only attached to trustworthy destinations, so
over plain HTTP a rebound page's same-origin GET (EventSource, images,
navigations) arrives with no browser markers and a readable response. Remove
the marker shortcut; non-browser clients pass the same fence via loopback,
the CLI-derived LAN IP literals, or a declared authority.
WHATWG parsing would quietly read a hostname out of harness.internal/path or
user@harness.internal, authorizing the typo's hostname; other typos would sit
silently ignored until requests 403. Refuse every URL part beyond host[:port]
at plugin load.
The web GUI's folder picking was hardwired to one interaction: a native
OS chooser compiled into the gateway, unusable for remote deployments
and swappable only by editing apiproxy source.
Directory picking becomes a three-package capability seam in
packages/host: ctx.directoryPicker returns a discriminated capability —
dialog (the extracted native chooser; host-display only) or browse
(new: one-level listing + child creation over Node stdlib, hidden flags
host-stamped, symlinks followed, ancestry crumbs; remote-capable). The
gateway injects the seam, advertises the kind via
host.describe.directoryPicker, serves host.listDirectory /
host.createDirectory under browse, and answers
directory-picker-unavailable across kinds. cordis.yml is the swap
point; apps/cli keeps dialog mounted, so behavior is unchanged until
the in-app browser PR flips the default. The connection fixture serves
a deterministic browse tree; WorkspacesService gains the browse calls
the browser UI will drive. Decision record:
.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-28-directory-picker-capability-seam.md
Markerless requests pass on any Host (a non-browser sender is the principal
and forges headers anyway); browser Host matching gains port-less entries and
WHATWG normalization; dsh derives LAN IP-literal authorities for an
all-interfaces bind and web grows --trusted-host for named ones.
