One host registry serves every composition in the process, so its two
service-wide collections answered per-owner questions process-wide. `start()`
asked only whether SOME surface was attached, so an agent whose own composition
loads no `tool-tasks` could start work it has no tool to collect or stop as soon
as any other preset attached one — and the answer changed depending on which
sessions happened to be open. `settle()` walked every registered listener, so a
task settling without a waiter injected one completion notice per mounted
preset into the same owner.
Both collections now sit in `ScopedLayers`, the layered-registry primitive
`tools` and `skills` already use: a registration files into its registering
context's scope, and a read unions the global layer with the owner's scope
chain. A surface or listener registered from an unscoped context lands in the
global layer and serves every owner, which is exactly the host-plane
composition's own controls, so the TUI path is unchanged without a special
case.
This supersedes the consumer-side filter in the previous commit. That filter
produced the right notices but sat in the wrong layer: it left the `start()`
gate process-wide, it could not be enforced against a producer that resolves
the registry directly, and it made a Consumer carry scope knowledge that the
other layered registries keep in the registry. `tool-tasks` is scope-agnostic
again and the `dsh-scope` edge moves to `tasks-local`.
`start()`'s refusal is now owner-relative, so its model-visible text names the
agent rather than the process. The shipped `minimal` preset keeps
`enableRunInBackground: false`, no longer as the safety boundary — the registry
owns that now — but so an agent that could never collect a task is not offered
the parameter at all.

The model reads a PNG/JPEG/WebP/GIF file, the bytes commit through the
durable attachment lifecycle, and the tool result carries the real
ImageBlock so the image enters context from the next request onward.
FileSystem gains a bounded readBytes primitive (local + E2B providers);
registration is conditional on the attachment store, and a strict
execution gate refuses routes that do not declare image input, so a
text route's durable history stays free of image blocks. llm-replay
models may declare inputModalities, letting keyless ACP snapshots pin
both the sha256-referenced success and the verbatim refusal.
Supersedes the withdrawn route-scoped design of PR #598; the decision
record is .agents/notes/implemented/feature/2026-08-10-minimal-read-image-tool.md.
Review found the `onTasksChanged` teardown reasoning inverted. The comment
claimed every registration is an effect on the registry's own fiber, so
listeners would be gone before service disposal empties the store — but the
traceable proxy rebinds `this.ctx` to the CALLER, which this package's own
HMR-safety test already proves. The only shipped consumer registers from the
api-proxy mux stream, so it was still listening and simply kept the rows it
last received. Service disposal now announces the emptied set, and teardown
announces its stopping transition immediately instead of leaving an observer
on `running` for however long a slow producer takes to release.
Two documentation claims were false in the opposite direction: the Agent Note
and the ui-task README both said an unowned task is invisible in the header,
while `list(caller)` returns unowned tasks to every caller, the carrier fans
their changes out to every subscribed session, and this PR's own test asserts
exactly that. The note even contradicted itself two sections earlier. Both
sides now state the real asymmetries — another session's tasks, and the
process-local registry emptying on restart.
The "no Web path calls the consuming `ctx.tasks.read()`" invariant claimed a
test that did not exist; the carrier suite's producer had no `readOutput` at
all, so a stray read would have failed nothing. Its producer now counts cursor
consumption and the lifecycle and baseline paths both assert zero.
Also: a session created after the mux opened now receives the task baseline it
missed, the popover samples its clock when it opens rather than at mount, and
a failed task's unbounded producer detail elides instead of widening the row.
The skills subsystem page and dsh-skill README describe the host+per-scope
layers, SkillViewOptions joins the type-equiv corpus and the cordis-catalog
type pages, generated catalogs pick up the shifted source refs, and the
architecture Agent Note records the decision, the nearest-layer-wins
precedence choice, and the rejected alternatives.
Delete design-session citations (decision/audit/plan ordinals, stack
positions), change narration, review choreography, and reviewer-addressed
justification from comments, JSDoc, docs, READMEs, Agent Notes, tests, and
generator templates; restate every affected fact as current-state contract
prose. Fix generated docs at their sources and regenerate the catalogs and
cordis-surface regions; re-paste type-equiv blocks; update every bilingual
counterpart and re-record the pairs. Record the citation rule in the
committed-artifact-citations Agent Note.
Rebuild of the region machinery (PR3) on the post-#904 Typert projection:
renderPageRegion/renderInheritedPage live in dsh-typert-generator beside the
projection; scripts/gen-cordis-catalog.ts owns the curated SERVICE_PAGE /
EVENT_SCOPE_PAGE / SERVICE_WALK_EXEMPTIONS / LINK_MAP partition (fail-loud in
both directions, with the independent Context-merge scan backstopping the
projection's blind spot), spliceRegion, and the guarded pair auto-record.
docs/cordis-catalog/ is deleted: the flat events/services catalogs dissolve
into per-page regions and docs/cordis-catalog/core moves to docs/cordis-api/
with the inherited tier as its own generated page. The partition absorbs the
post-regrouping surface: ctx.typert → invariants.md, ctx.directoryPicker →
workspace.md, skills/* events → skills.md, and the four launcher-provided tui
accessor values join the named exemptions.
git mv timeout-policy beside repeat-tool-guard (both are loop-hygiene
policies on the tool-execution pipeline, and the timeout/ group name
collided with util/timeout) and tool-cordis into self-modification/
(naming the role the framework name obscured). Merged/renamed group
README triplets, tsconfig globs, generator sources, hierarchy tables,
catalogs, and the timeout-policy design note's group references
follow. Adds the fifth FIXME marker (dsh-timeout-guard, recorded as a
suggestion to settle at resolution time).
guard + self-modification suites: 197 passed.
