Moving the agent plane behind presets left two readers on the wrong side of
the host/agent line.
`dsh-token-meter` was disabled on the host and mounted inside each preset's
`compaction` realm, but its three projection units register into the
process-wide `sessionProjections` table. A unit registered from one preset
answers for every session, so whether a `minimal` session showed a context
meter depended on whether some other session had mounted `standard` since
boot, and a process that only ever ran `minimal` showed none. The meter takes
no configuration, keys every fold by Session, and registers no tool or prompt
section, so it returns to the host composition and leaves the presets'
`isolate` map; the realm and `compact-basic` stay, because what a preset
chooses is whether its agent compacts, not whether its tokens are counted.
Nothing named an agent that joined no preset. The join is a scope-parent link,
and without it the tools, prompt-section, and skill views resolve the empty
global layer: the agent publishes, the turn runs, and the model receives
nothing. `AgentPresets` now logs one warning per such agent while a roster is
configured, and the invariant companion fails outright — at
`system-prompt/assemble` rather than at publication, because an unjoined agent
is legal until it addresses a model and `recompose` binds exactly such an
agent. The warning stays advisory: a synchronous `agent/created` throw vetoes
publication, and the ACP bridge, SDK server, and headless bundle all create an
unjoined agent today.
Three limits are recorded rather than fixed: projection key presence is not a
per-session capability signal, a superseded standing generation is never
reclaimed, and a `cordis_mount` temporary plugin belongs to the composition
rather than the session that mounted it.
Fixes#2203
A per-instance connection supervisor restarts the original server config
with exponential backoff when the transport closes, re-runs tool discovery
on success, and atomically replaces the previous generation. Default policy
retries for ~2.5 minutes (10 attempts, 500ms→30s doubling) before giving up
and unregistering the server's tools.
New config block reconnect { enabled, initialDelayMs, maxDelayMs, maxAttempts }
on both transports; misconfiguration fails plugin load. A connection that
survives past the stability window (maxDelayMs) resets the attempt budget,
so occasional crashes recover indefinitely while a crash loop still exhausts
the cap.
Integrates with the upstream failOnStartupError: the initial sync uses
registrationFailure:'throw' when that flag is set so a squatted namespace
still rejects activation.
Fixes#1746
The persistence contract gains a concrete readRaw default (undefined for
backends without a per-session artifact) and the JSONL backend overrides it
with the decode of its physical zstd frames, so a consumer can read the
stored artifact text verbatim — the session-log export depends on it.
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.
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.
