The audit swept every packages/*/* plugin for the new AGENTS.md
convention (no hardcoded tunables in plugins) and exposes each finding
as a defaulted, validated Config field. Defaults are the previously
hardcoded values throughout, so no deployment or golden changes.
- tool-fs (had NO Config): readLimit, readMaxLineLength, readMaxBytes,
readStreamMinSize. The caps thread through ReadToolCaps/ReadWindow —
read-render already documented that the consumer applies the caps, so
they become explicit per-request fields.
- tool-web: searchMaxResults (WEB_SEARCH_MAX_RESULTS stays as the
schemastery default). Also fixes the stale GREP_LIMIT references in
search.ts and the web-capability-seam RFC (no such constant exists).
- bash-local: graceMs (SIGTERM->SIGKILL escalation grace). The
RunInternals.graceMs test seam is gone: graceMs is now a required
SpawnSpec field filled from config, so tests exercise the real
config path and the defaults live in exactly one place.
- subagent-acp: disposeEofGraceMs / disposeGraceMs. The AcpRunSpec
fields become required for the same one-defaulting-layer reason.
- session-persistence-sqlite: journalMode ('wal' default; the
rollback-journal modes serve filesystems where WAL's shared-memory
files do not work, e.g. network mounts).
- hooks-claude + hooks-codex: stderrSummaryMaxChars for the persisted
hook/result stderr summary. The duplicated summarize() helpers merge
into hook-protocol's summarizeStderr(stderr, maxChars), beside the
HookResultRecord field it feeds, with the bound parameterized the
same way runHook's defaultTimeoutMs already is.
- compact-basic: charsPerToken for the token estimator (default 4, the
English-text heuristic; CJK-heavy deployments need ~1-2 or compaction
fires far too late). Also corrects the BasicCompactService class doc,
which claimed defaults the required-field config never had.
- fs-local: deletes the dead STREAM_MIN_SIZE constant and the dead
FsIoInternals.streamMinSize seam — the read-routing bound lives in
the consumer (tool-fs), where it is now config. This is item 1 of
the proposed prune-write-only-fs-surface RFC, annotated accordingly.
Every new field gets range validation (following the existing
assertPositiveFinite pattern), a README row, and tests covering the
configured behavior, the schema default, and load-time rejection.

RFC: Prune write-only fields and a dead routing knob from the fs seam
Status: proposed
Problem
The fs seam split moved read routing and policy out of the backend into dsh-tool-fs and dsh-fs-policy. Four pieces of surface kept the pre-split shape — populated on every call, read by nobody:
STREAM_MIN_SIZE+FsIoInternals.streamMinSizeindsh-fs-local— already removed by the no-hardcoded-tunables audit (the routing bound becamedsh-tool-fs'sreadStreamMinSizeconfig); listed here for the record of the full prune, no work remains. Originally (packages/fs/fs-local/src/fsio.ts, re-exported frompackages/fs/fs-local/src/index.ts): zero readers anywhere, including fs-local's own source and tests. The backend has no read routing —readWholeText/streamWholeTextare separate primitives the caller chooses between — and the real routing constant lives in the consumer (packages/fs/tool-fs/src/read.ts, compared againstinfo.size). Two mirrors of the 10 MiB fact; the backend's is dead, and the knob's JSDoc claims a "read routing" override that does not exist.FsTarget.inputPath(packages/fs/fs/src/types.ts): every backend and every test fake must fabricate a "diagnostics only" value with zero production readers — the policy plugin and every error message usetargetKey/displayPath. ThelistDirproducer exposes the semantic wobble: directory children get the bare entry name, which was nobody's "input".FsEditOutcome.replacements+.replaceAll(packages/fs/fs/src/types.ts):replacementshas zero production readers (the single-match policy itself stays — it is enforced by theFS_AMBIGUOUS_EDIT/FS_EDIT_NOT_FOUNDthrows inside the backend, whose error message keeps the internal count);replaceAllis read only byformatEditOutputinpackages/fs/tool-fs/src/edit.ts— as an echo of thereplace_allargument the tool already holds. Shrunk,FsEditOutcomebecomes{ version, before, after }, parallel toFsWriteOutcome's genuinely backend-discovered fields.FileReadOutcome.limit+.version(packages/fs/tool-fs/src/read-render.ts): populated by the read tool, butformatReadOutputrendersoffset/lines/totalLines/truncatedByBytesonly, and thefs/observedemit usesinfo.versiondirectly rather than the outcome copy.
Proposal
Delete the fs-local constant, its re-export, and the streamMinSize knob (the remaining FsIoInternals knobs are genuinely used by the atomic-write tests); drop inputPath from FsTarget; shrink FsEditOutcome to { version, before, after } and pass replaceAll to formatEditOutput from the parsed args; drop limit/version from FileReadOutcome. Update the filesystem.md pastes, the type-equiv manifest, packages/fs/fs/README.md, and the test fakes that currently must fabricate the removed fields.
Why not keep them?
A future permission/containment layer might want the pre-resolution path for error text — but it would want the request, which every call site still holds. "N occurrences replaced" might become model-facing text — a behavior change to design when wanted, and the backend-internal count survives for its error message. A read footer might display limit — everything the footer shows already derives from lines/totalLines. Meanwhile every current and future backend (remote, native) must fabricate wire fields nobody consumes, and every test fake must satisfy them.
Acceptance criteria
- The removed surfaces are gone —
STREAM_MIN_SIZE/streamMinSizeindsh-fs-local,FsTarget.inputPath,FsEditOutcome.replacements/.replaceAll, andFileReadOutcome.limit/.version— while the request-sidereplaceAll(FsEditSpec) and the version fields on the other outcome types are untouched; doc pastes and the manifest in sync; the suite is green with the shrunk fakes. formatEditOutput's emitted text is unchanged for bothreplace_allbranches, so no snapshot golden churns.
Risks
The in-flight fs discovery work (glob/grep tools) touches the same dsh-fs type files — a textual, not design, conflict; land in either order and reconcile mechanically. Backends gain no new obligations; they shed four.
