The dialog now owns the figma structure through a new headless Modal
mode (mask/card/Escape stay shared): header block with the title and
crumbs 8px apart above the l3 separator (no close chrome — the figma
frame has none), 16px to the level, and the 12px card bottom. The
picker-kind narrowing returns for the merged open describe kind — an
unrecognized advertised kind hides the local-folder entry, now covered
alongside the stale-navigation failure arm and the unmount races.
The Open-local-folder flow now branches on the Host's advertised picker
interaction (host.describe.directoryPicker, read per menu open; unknown
kinds hide the entry): dialog keeps the native-chooser flow, and browse
opens the new in-app directory browser (figma Harness 802-56979) —
breadcrumbs rooted at a localized Home crumb, a click-to-edit path zone
right of the crumbs, host-flagged hidden entries filtered client-side,
an inline New-folder row, and Open adopting the listed directory
through the existing workspace-creation error surface. Dialog copy is
localized (ctx.locale, namespace 'workspace'); the plugin re-registers
its entries on locale/change.
apps/cli flips the composed backend from -dialog to -browse, so the
picker works for remote deployments out of the box; -dialog stays a
composable alternative. The workspace-management e2e drops its native
picker monkey-patch and drives the real modal end-to-end via the
path-edit affordance.
ds-review-bot round 1: the seam documented a merge-extensible union but
shipped a closed alias, and the gateway schema rejected any kind beyond
dialog/browse — a third backend could neither implement the seam nor be
advertised. The union now derives from an augmentable DirectoryPickerCapabilities
map, host.describe.directoryPicker preserves unknown wire kinds, and the
browse fixture applies listDirectory's root special case so creating under
'/' no longer mints a '//name' identity.
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.
A dangling colon (harness.internal:) or zero-padded port parses cleanly while
WHATWG silently rewrites it, turning an intended exact-port grant into an
any-port grant. Replace the character blacklist with a round-trip check: an
entry must read back from parsing exactly as written (case aside), refusing
the whole rewrite class at load.
The full-suite coverage gate found the new listDirectory/createDirectory
client methods and handler routes unexecuted: the implementation and
schema layers were tested directly, but nothing crossed the wire form.
One round trip through InProcessApiClient covers both arrows on each
side.
WHATWG trimming strips stray whitespace before parsing, so 'host:port ' passed
the load assert while the raw-string port regex read it as port-less —
broadening an exact-port grant to every port on that hostname. The explicit-
port judgment now reads URL parses under both special schemes (:80/:443 stay
explicit), and the load assert refuses whitespace outright.
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.
Both web-GUI groups shipped without the group README that the packages
table names as each group's canonical package/ctx-key map, and without
rows in that table. Adds both bilingual pairs, the two table rows
(ceiling 835→870: two genuinely new product groups joined the canonical
table at minimal row width), and fixes webserver README drift
(WebServerService/ctx.webServer → HttpServerService/ctx.httpServer,
matching src/index.ts).
A non-`auto` `scrollbar-width` or `scrollbar-color` makes Chromium and Safari
discard every `::-webkit-scrollbar*` rule for that element, including
`::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:hover`. Declaring both unconditionally left the
hover tokens rendering nowhere: the engines implementing the hover
pseudo-element are exactly the ones the standard properties silence, and
Firefox has no hover pseudo-element to fall back on. Both hover tokens and all
four elevated surfaces' hover rebinds were therefore dead code.
Measured in chromium on probe elements with `scrollbar-gutter: stable`: an 8px
`::-webkit-scrollbar` alone reserved a 30px band, and adding
`scrollbar-width: thin` dropped it to the 10px `thin` reserves.
The standard properties now sit inside `@supports not
selector(::-webkit-scrollbar)`, so Firefox takes them and WebKit-based engines
take the pseudo-elements. The WebKit rules stay ungated: an engine without
those pseudo-elements drops them as unknown selectors, and gating them would
hide them from an engine that implements them without `selector()` — the
pre-16.4 Safari the ungated form serves correctly.
Three unit assertions pin the split by source offset, which the existing
at-rule-flattening parser cannot see. The web e2e now reads the path chromium
actually takes: the `auto` standard properties as the gate's signature, the
pseudo-element sizing and track, the indirection variables resolved per
throwaway probe, and the hover declaration as cascade rule text — chromium
folds the `:hover` rule into `getComputedStyle(el,
'::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb')`, so no computed query separates the states.
The only browser-trust guard covered host.pickDirectory, while the
consequential methods (session.prompt drives bash) accepted any Host —
open to DNS rebinding, where a rebound page reads and writes the API as
if same-origin and only the Host header betrays the attacker's domain.
The pickDirectory-specific loopback guard becomes a prefix-wide fence:
Host must be loopback or an exact host[:port] from the new trustedHosts
config, an attached Origin must equal that authority, and explicit
cross-site markers are refused; requests without browser markers (curl,
tests, native clients) pass, because without a browser there is no
confused deputy. The loopback-socket check is dropped — binding policy
expresses reachability, and the fence is not an auth layer. The Agent
Note records the full threat model and the alternatives.
Browsers send "simple" POSTs (text/plain, form encodings) without a CORS
preflight, so a malicious page could execute side-effectful RPCs blind —
the response stays unreadable cross-origin, but session.prompt would
still run. The carrier now answers 415 unless the declared media type is
application/json, forcing every cross-site attempt into a preflight this
server never answers. Raw-fetch specs gain the header; a new handler case
proves the fence rejects before the impl runs.
Review follow-ups: the three new notify loops (currentProvideInfo
subscribers, ui-skill lexicon listeners, late-registration controller
setup) now contain per-callback failures so one faulty consumer cannot
starve the rest, abort the list projection pass, or poison the source
roster with no disposer; controller lexicon polling drops a throwing
source with a console record like the candidate path. The ui-slash
README (both languages) now states the late-registration warm and the
subscribeLexicon contract, and the scenario suite drives a typed /name
token gaining its decoration when the roll settles with no further
input.
provideInfo(id)/maybeProvideInfo(id) lost their last external caller
when the renderer host switched to the currentProvideInfo observable;
both become private (tests assert through the public projection). The
reprojection method's name now says what it does — re-derive and
publish on change — and matches the field family it maintains.
