The remaining P1 from the #939 review, plus the P2 it shares a mechanism with.
Nothing carried a version, so two tabs editing one namespace silently
overwrote each other — reproduced as tab B's `reasoning` lost to tab A's
older draft. The seam's per-namespace write queue orders writes; it cannot
tell a fresh writer from one replaying a snapshot a predecessor superseded.
Each namespace now carries a monotonic `revision` over its RAW section. A
write may send `expectedRevision`, checked at the FRONT of the queue (not at
call time, which would race the very predecessor it guards against); a
mismatch rejects with `SettingsConflictError` → `settings-conflict` on the
wire, carrying both revisions. The editor captures the revision it opened at
and, on conflict, asks the user to reopen rather than replaying its snapshot.
The same counter fixes the missing broadcast. `settings/updated` is gated on
the resolved value — correct for consumers, wrong for configuration surfaces:
storing an override equal to the composition base leaves the resolved value
alone while changing what the document says (the field is now overridden, not
inherited) and moving every open editor's revision. `settings/document-updated
(ns, revision)` fires on any raw-section change, in-process or external, and
`host/settings-changed` now rides it.
That event also closes the stale model picker: editing a provider's `models`
changes no route, so `llm/adapters-updated` never fired and an open picker
kept serving the old catalog. A change to an exposed provider namespace now
emits `host/models-changed` too — that namespace holds the catalog.
Docs: both sides of the five touched README pairs, a type-equiv block for
`SettingsPathOp`, and an Agent Note recording what the plane exposes and who
may overwrite what. The deferred wire-redaction gaps (secrets behind
union/intersection/transform, `.default(...)` in the served envelope, schema
text in rejection messages, `new Function` rehydration, pi-ai's `headers`) are
recorded as TODO(settings-wire-redaction) and in Known Limitations rather than
half-fixed.
The `readDenyPaths` policy field shipped in the previous commit broke Linux
confinement outright. bwrap has to create the `/dev/null` bind's mount point
inside a tree its own profile has already made read-only, so it refused the
entire confinement whenever the parent directory was absent — every host that
has not stored a credential yet, including a fresh install:
bwrap: Can't mkdir parents for /home/runner/.dsh/.env: Read-only file system
which the executor correctly classifies as SANDBOX_UNAVAILABLE, so every
confined bash call failed closed. Landlock cannot subtract from its own `/`
read grant, so it reported `partial` enforcement on every confined call for a
file it never hid, with no way to switch the denial off (schemastery fills an
omitted array with `[]`, so empty and omitted were indistinguishable).
A protection that breaks confinement where it works and misreports it where it
does not is worse than a documented absence. Revert the field, both expressible
backends, the enforcement downgrade, and the policy default; state the residue
plainly in the credentials-local READMEs — file mode stops other OS users, not
the model — and keep the OS-keychain provider recorded as the real answer.
The narrower discipline stands: no surface hoists the credential document into
`process.env`, and the model is never handed a resolved path to it.
Both provider READMEs state what actually holds: credentials-local now
documents the physical-line editor, the read-modify-write under the
writer lock, and a Security boundary section saying plainly that the file
mode stops other OS users and not the model. sandbox-policy documents
readDenyPaths and its per-backend enforcement. The llm READMEs carry the
registration handle, pi-ai's credential-miss semantics, and DeepSeek's
same-generation snapshot; app-boot and the CLI README stop describing
$DSH_HOME/.env as an environment layer.
A new Agent Note records the round (and the prior seam note cross-links
it); the sandbox and core catalog pages gain readDenyPaths and
AdapterRegistrationHandle with their manifest entries. The headless
missing-credential snapshot re-records for the reworded guidance, pi-ai
gains the Loader-composition guard its twin already had, and the
deliberate provider symmetry is marked for the clone detector.
Documentation only; no behavior change.
`firstLiveSeq`'s JSDoc still stated the boundary sits at that seq
unconditionally. Verified reachable on a plain production path: pick up a log,
do no work, pick it up again — the seed already ends in a boundary, so it is
not re-marked and `events[firstLiveSeq]` is undefined. Both that claim and the
firehose-gap sentence are now conditional, with the locate rule ("scan for the
last boundary") matching what types.ts already said.
`repair.ts`'s header claimed this module supplies the boundary. It does not —
the constructor does; this module supplies the activity read that must skip it.
Reworded, and it now names the closer timestamp leak, which is the one real
coupling that justifies `lastActivityTime` living beside the repair synthesis.
Recorded that `Session`'s constructor is the boundary's only legitimate writer,
since the invariant companion constrains nothing and a plugin-side append would
silently turn live brackets below it into dead history.
The seam README states the JSON-shaped write boundary, watch-disposer
quiescence, async listener containment, and the drained teardown; the
provider README rewrites Behavior around the operation chain,
read-modify-write, writer lock, ready reconcile, and leaf-level YAML
diffs, and updates Known Limitations to the residual guarantees.
A new Agent Note records the round's decisions and supersedes the
original note's deferred-lockfile alternative (cross-linked in place).
Chinese counterparts updated pair-by-pair (three briefed minimal
updates, one whole-document translation); type-equiv, config, cordis,
and module-graph catalogs re-recorded.
- `SessionSummary.updatedAt`'s wire doc still said "Persisted file mtime",
which stopped being true for attached sessions.
- The core invariant let `session/inherited` fall through the merge-extensible
default. It is core-owned, so it gets an explicit case; an unbalanced seed
legally places it inside an open turn, which the relation permits.
- The Agent Note claimed the boundary reaches disk via `live.pending`/
`scheduleDrain`. Verified false: the constructor append precedes `enter()`,
so it never publishes on `session/event` and rides the creation seed instead.
Attaching is therefore a write where none happened before — recorded, since
only `load()` stays a pure read.
- The deferred-index proposal asserted this change documented the cold-mtime
skew on `dsh-host-apiproxy`. It did not; the README entry now exists.
- `firstLiveSeq`'s firehose gap runs through its own seq, not below it.
- The boundary is not always at `firstLiveSeq` (the idempotence guard), so
consumers scan for the last one.
- `lastActivityTime` excludes by type, so a pickup time still leaks onto a
synthetic closer when a boundary ends an open turn. Documented.
- Pin the fork claim end-to-end: a child inherits a still-running parent's
open bracket below its own boundary, while the parent has none. Fails if the
write moves back to the load path.
- Fix the telemetry title that contradicted its own assertions.
The `/status` call site cannot be pinned the way the other two are: the
command appends its own `command/run` before rendering, so the boundary is
never the log tail there. Its fixture now at least renders over a
boundary-bearing log.
A plugin owning a standalone open/close bracket cannot tell a dead marker
from a live one: an unmatched `compact/start` reads identically whether the
previous writer died mid-compaction or a compaction is running now.
`Session.firstLiveSeq` already holds that answer exactly, but only in memory.
Append the log-only `session/inherited` event at that seq from the seeded
constructor — the single waist all six seeded-start paths pass through
(resume, configured startup on a persisted id, `sessions.fork()`, a subagent
fork child, `adopt()`'s live prefix, and a bare seeded `create`). Read it
through the new `isInheritedSeq(events, seq)`.
The constructor placement means persistence needs no changes: the marker is
already in `events` when a backend captures the creation seed, so it rides
the ordinary seed path with no load-time write. It also covers fork, where
the inherited bracket's owner may still be running — the case a
persistence-layer boundary could not reach.
Activity ordering excludes the boundary through `lastActivityTime()`, since
lazy resume makes browsing a pickup and the three call sites would otherwise
float every opened session to the top of a picker or list.
gen-cordis-catalog/gen-cordis-api pick up the SessionTitleService rename
JSDoc and line shifts; gen-doc-graphs picks up the session-title invariant
companion's session/event edge.
gen-cordis-catalog embeds source line anchors; the switch extraction and the
ignore annotation moved SessionTitleService, so the services page was stale
against the committed code.
sessionTitle.rename appends a user-source session/title event; onUserMessage
skips scheduling while a user title stands, and an explicit refresh is the
deliberate unpin (provider regeneration, or a re-derived fallback when no
provider is registered).
New credentials data-structure page (type-equiv manifested), group README,
rewritten llm-deepseek/llm-pi-ai READMEs (dynamic configuration, dict
profiles, credential chain), capability-seams/service-role registration,
Agent Note (bilingual), demo compositions mounting settings-local +
credentials-local with no inline key plumbing, installSettingsSection
consumer helper on the settings seam (deduplicating both adapters' wiring),
jscpd symmetry markers for the provider twins, runtime-closure additions for
python/sdk-runtime, and doc-budget ceilings AGENTS.md 1750→1755 /
packages/README.md 850→865 for the structural one-line group rows.
Conflicts were the parallel-edit set: packages/README group table (kept
master's session-title wording, re-added the settings row condensed),
doc-budgets AGENTS.md ceiling (took master's 1750), and regenerated
graph/catalog docs plus re-recorded translation pairs. packages/README.md
ceiling 845 -> 850: the table legitimately gained one row for the new
settings group and the row is already minimal.
Confirmed and fixed, each with a regression test that failed first:
- Concurrent writes to different namespaces lost whole sections on disk
(each persist rendered the full document from a stale text): the local
provider serializes render->write->rename->text-commit on one internal
persist chain shared by every namespace queue.
- One throwing settings/updated listener starved the rest (cordis emit
stops at the first throw): commit fans out per listener via
events.dispatch, contains individual failures, and rethrows the first
INVARIANT-coded error only after every listener ran.
- Write queues ignored fiber/service lifecycle: the base init now
registers a teardown that refuses new writes and drains queued chains;
queued tasks re-verify service liveness and namespace ownership before
running and again before committing, so a registrant disposed
mid-flight is never notified and a disposed service never commits.
- Async watcher invocations could interleave (a slow stale call applied
last): each watcher carries a serialized invocation chain — one call
at a time, in commit order; JSDoc/doc pages state the async timing.
- update/replace borrowed the caller's object until the queued task ran:
inputs are structured-clone snapshotted at call time; non-cloneable
plain objects reject with a typed error.
- Composition guard now proves the documented fallback: the consumer
uses the optional scoped-inject shape and boots both with the settings
entry (hot publish) and without it (entry-config resolution, no scope).
- core-data-structures index: settings.md row added to the sub-page
table in core.md/core.zh.md.
Both packages hold per-file 100% coverage across repeated runs.
Confirmed and fixed, each with a regression test that failed first:
- Concurrent update() lost patches (merge over one stale snapshot):
per-namespace serialized write queues; a failed write cannot poison
the queue for later writers.
- Fixed-name .tmp write followed planted symlinks and kept stale modes:
random-suffix sibling, exclusive-create (wx), 0600, cleanup on
failure, then rename.
- A throwing settings/updated listener escaped commit and permanently
wedged the provider reload chain (rejected refreshTask): commit now
contains listener failures (INVARIANT-coded errors still propagate),
async watcher rejections are adopted and contained
(watch callbacks are officially void | Promise<void>), and the
provider chains refreshes on a settled tail with an error log.
- No way to remove a user override: scope/service replace(section)
sets the user section wholesale; replace({}) re-inherits base and
schema defaults.
- The three-primitive provider contract did not hold (base never
called load()): the base Service.init loads and publishes once;
settings-local delegates via yield* super[Service.init]().
- Dispose did not quiesce: teardown flags closed, closes the watcher,
then awaits queued/in-flight reloads; closed is re-checked across
await points.
- Invariant now checks the authoritative relation with the seam's own
deepEqualJson: emitted next must equal settings.get(ns), and
next/prev must differ structurally (cosmokit dependency dropped).
- New docs/core-data-structures/settings.{md,zh.md} with type-equiv
blocks + manifest entries; catalog types moved from exemptions to
LINK_MAP; website page registered.
Both packages stay at per-file 100% coverage.
Two-package capability family mirroring session-persistence/:
- dsh-settings: abstract Settings service — namespace registry with
caller-fiber effect registrations, layered resolution (schema defaults
< composition base < user document), schemastery validation,
per-namespace deep-equal commit detection, and the settings/updated
event. Boot/registration validation fails loud; provider publishes
keep last-good per namespace.
- dsh-settings-local: settings.yaml/.json provider — resolveSpec
defaulting to $DSH_HOME/settings.yaml, chokidar hot reload,
content-equality self-write suppression, atomic 0600 tmp+rename
writes, comment-preserving YAML namespace patching.
Consumers register inside ctx.inject(['settings'], …), so every
composition works unchanged without a mounted provider. Real Loader +
Include composition test proves cordis.yml boot and external-edit hot
propagation; HMR disposal test proves registry cleanup. Both packages
hold per-file 100% coverage.
Doc budgets rise 1705→1710 (AGENTS.md) and 835→845 (packages/README.md):
one structural line per file for the new package group.
Agent Note: .agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-28-user-settings-seam.md
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.
Shared-surface conflicts resolve as unions: the fixture serves all five
projection keys (title/todos/permissions/plan/goal) with the /permission
and /plan command mirrors side by side, the connection specs assert the
five-key baseline and the shifted approval/question replay indices, and
the cli roster/deps, tsconfig aggregate, and README allowlist carry both
lines' rows. Plan-side content lands verbatim from master.
One end-state consolidation both branches half-did: with questions
(ui-question) and approvals (ApprovalPanel) each owning a composer
takeover, PendingCard retires outright — ChatView renders no pending
placeholder, the card component and its specs go, and both README halves
state the takeover-only contract.
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.
