When the client advertises clientCapabilities._meta.terminal_output (Zed), a
bash tool call now renders as a real TERMINAL card — a cwd header + the command
+ its output — instead of the plain ```console text block. Keeps agent-side
dsh-bash execution; rejects the spec's client-side terminal/create (which would
bypass sandbox/env-scrub/ownership/cwd). Matches what claude-agent-acp and
codex-acp do; wire contract verified against Zed's source.
- dsh-tools: a provider-neutral ToolTerminal shape ({ cwd?, output? }) on
ToolCallPresentation/ToolResultPresentation — a tool asks "render me as a
terminal"; no ACP types leak in.
- dsh-tool-bash: bash presentCall marks terminal (cwd from an explicit absolute
workdir, else left for the bridge to fill from the session cwd); presentResult
carries the output alongside the ```console fallback.
- dsh-acp: initialize reads/remembers the _meta.terminal_output capability;
streamSessionEventUpdate maps a terminal presentation to
content:[{type:'terminal',terminalId}] + _meta.terminal_info on the call and
_meta.terminal_output on the update WHEN capable — else the unchanged text
path. terminalId is the callId; cwd defaults to the session header. The pure
translator gained a TerminalRendering {enabled,cwd} param (off by default).
Tests via the REAL tool-bash + bash-local: capability ON -> terminal content +
_meta; OFF -> no _meta (text path). The with-key e2e adds a real-model terminal
card case (echo over ACP with the capability on). 773 tests, 100% coverage.
The exit-status pill (_meta.terminal_exit), live streaming
(_meta.terminal_output_delta), and command classification are RFC follow-ups.
Records the verified design before implementing: keep dsh-bash agent-side
execution and render Zed's terminal tool-call card via the `_meta` convention
(terminal_info/terminal_output/terminal_exit), capability-gated on
clientCapabilities._meta.terminal_output, with the ```console text block as the
no-capability fallback. Rejects the spec's client-side terminal/create path (it
would bypass dsh-bash's sandbox/env-scrub/ownership/cwd). Studied
claude-agent-acp, codex-acp, and Zed's renderer to ground the wire contract.
Live streaming and command classification are noted as separate follow-ups.
