Seven ADRs capturing the why behind decisions already made: vendoring Cordis as source with a guarded manifest; the microkernel event taxonomy with one swappable concrete loop; event-sourced sessions with derived history and the append-before-emit ordering contract; the provider-neutral content-block vocabulary (and why not OpenAI/Anthropic shapes); the custom tool-schema DSL over schemastery; tool schemas living in the prompt assembly; and mechanical quality gates over prose guidelines (the agents-write-the-code rationale).

# ADR 0003: Event-sourced sessions with derived message history
|
|
|
|
Status: accepted (2026-06-11)
|
|
|
|
## Context
|
|
|
|
The MVP requires strict event-based tracing with fully replayable sessions
|
|
(严格的基于事件的trace、logging系统，session完全可回放). Two models were
|
|
considered: a mutable message array with events fired as notifications
|
|
(simpler, but state and log can diverge), or event-sourcing where the log IS
|
|
the state.
|
|
|
|
## Decision
|
|
|
|
A `Session` is an append-only log of typed `SessionEvent`s — the single
|
|
source of truth. The LLM message history is *derived* from the log
|
|
(`deriveMessages()`); raw stream chunks are logged for token-level replay
|
|
fidelity while the assembled `assistant/message` event is authoritative for
|
|
derivation. Replay/fork = seed a new session with an existing log.
|
|
|
|
Appends are synchronous (the hot path never blocks on I/O); `session/event`
|
|
is a sync notification; persistence plugins buffer write-behind and drain at
|
|
the awaited `session/flush` checkpoint fired at every turn end.
|
|
|
|
Ordering contract: the loop appends to the session *before* emitting the
|
|
corresponding Cordis event, and the `agent/step-result` waterfall runs before
|
|
the `assistant/message` append so the log records what tool dispatch actually
|
|
used (post-review fix; regression-tested).
|
|
|
|
## Consequences
|
|
|
|
- Replay, trace, and telemetry are structurally guaranteed, not bolted on.
|
|
- Persistence stays a plugin concern; the in-memory store ships in dsh-session.
|
|
- The event vocabulary is merge-extensible (plugins add e.g. compaction
|
|
events); it carries a TODO(review) marker until the first persistence
|
|
plugin and real adapter exercise it.
|
|
- Derivation cost grows with log length — compaction (future plugin) is the
|
|
intended mitigation, not log mutation.
