The repo's docs are read by people and agents without access to the company wiki, so external Feishu links are dead weight: the two design-doc links (MVP requirements, microkernel implementation notes) leave AGENTS.md's intro and docs/architecture.md (usages + link definitions), and the microkernel-event-taxonomy RFC drops its plain-text pointer to the same design doc. The governing principle each reference decorated is already stated in place; no content moves.

# RFC: Microkernel — extension via Cordis event taxonomy, one concrete loop
|
|
|
|
Status: implemented (accepted 2026-06-11)
|
|
|
|
<!-- XXX: legacy ADR/RFC body format, not yet normalized to a unified RFC template. -->
|
|
|
|
## Context
|
|
|
|
The product principle is "everything is a plugin": hooks, /goal, /loop, dynamic workflows, compaction, sandboxing, permissions, UI, persistence, MCP, skills must all be writable as plugins without modifying the core. Candidate mechanisms considered: a purpose-built middleware stack (koa-compose style), an explicit phase state machine plugins can insert into, or Cordis's native event system.
|
|
|
|
## Decision
|
|
|
|
Pure Cordis event taxonomy. The loop's extension seams are typed events with deliberate dispatch modes:
|
|
|
|
- **waterfall** (around-middleware) where plugins mutate or veto: `agent/prompt-submit`, `agent/request`, `agent/step-result`, `agent/turn-continuation`, `tools/pre-execute`, `tools/post-execute`, `llm/stream`, `system-prompt/assemble`.
|
|
- **emit** (sync fire-and-forget) for notifications: turn/step boundaries, stream chunks, lifecycle, errors.
|
|
- **parallel** (awaited) for the one durability checkpoint: `session/flush`.
|
|
|
|
The event vocabulary lives in interface packages (dsh-agent declares the agent/* events); `@deepseek-ai/dsh-agent-loop` is the only concrete loop plugin and is itself swappable — nothing outside it may depend on it.
|
|
|
|
## Consequences
|
|
|
|
- Every MVP feature maps to a listener (the [feature → mechanism map](../../../cookbook/extension-cookbook.md#the-feature--mechanism-map) is the proof obligation, kept current).
|
|
- HMR and disposal come free: listeners and registrations are Cordis effects.
|
|
- Waterfall semantics (call `next()` or short-circuit) are non-obvious and must be taught — documented in AGENTS.md and covered by composition tests.
|
|
- The loop must be defensive: plugin exceptions are contained at turn level, steering from any seam is never stranded (regression-tested).
