`Config.roots` defaulted to `[]`, so a deployment that did not patch both roots in got a roster with none — `dsh run` once booted exactly that and failed resolving `standard`. The user root never needed an app: `<dshHome>/.agent-presets` is the same place in every deployment, resolvable here the way `dsh-skill-local` resolves `<dshHome>/skills`. The roster now derives that root itself unless `includeUserRoot` is false, and `apps/cli` supplies only the SHIPPED root, whose path an installed app alone can resolve. The derived root is appended after every configured root, so a shipped id still shadows a home directory claiming it and `writableRoot()` still prefers an explicitly configured `user` root; the set is resolved once at construction, because a root set that changed between a `list()` and the `copy()` acting on its answer would author into a directory the caller never saw. Every test that pins an exact roster now says `includeUserRoot: false` — the machine's real harness home must not decide what a golden or an assertion counts.
preset/ — per-session agent composition
English | 中文
An agent preset is a directory holding one agent.cordis.yml. Mounting it under an agent's scope context gives that session its own tools and prompt sections while every other live session keeps its own, so one process can run several differently composed agents at once.
| Package | Role | ctx key |
|---|---|---|
agent-presets/ |
Preset vocabulary, filesystem discovery over trusted and user-authored roots, and the guarded per-agent mount | ctx.agentPresets |
persona/ |
The agent persona as a composable row, so a preset can change identity and not only tools | — |
The presets the deployment ships live in apps/cli/config/agent-presets/ — one directory each, and that directory listing is the roster. Naming them here too would be a second list to keep in step, and the first one to fall behind.
The composition split this group assumes: registries and cross-session facilities are process singletons and stay in the host composition, while a preset carries what one agent contributes to them. A preset that names a row publishing a process-global service is rejected at mount rather than allowed to collide with the next session.
Design: the per-session agent-preset note.
