Define the in-file RFC contract in docs/rfc/README.md § The file format: the header block (`# RFC: <title>` plus a dateless Status enum cross-checked against the lifecycle folder), the per-lifecycle body skeleton (a Problem opener everywhere; Proposal/Alternatives considered/ Acceptance criteria/Risks in proposed/; present-tense Decision/ Consequences with proposal-era headings banned in implemented/; the frozen proposal shape in rejected/), and a mandatory Alternatives considered section with a date-fenced grandfather comment for pre-format RFCs whose alternatives are not reconstructible from the record. Enforce it with a new doc-sync gate, scripts/verify-rfc-format.ts, and normalize all 112 RFCs to it: ~15 Status-line spellings collapse to the enum, 29 Context openers become Problem, the 39 legacy-format XXX debt markers are resolved and banned from reappearing, proposal-era sections in implemented RFCs are rewritten to shipped reality (including the web/fs/subagent seam RFCs' migration plans and test checklists, closing the doc-tiers deferred-work item on the web seam), every RFC gains an Alternatives considered section or the grandfather comment, and the bilingual pair is re-mirrored and re-recorded. Move the generated index tables out of README.md into a fully generated docs/rfc/INDEX.md — gen-rfc-index now writes the whole file, and verify-rfc-classification checks its freshness and rejects index-shaped rows in the curated README — which makes room for the format contract to live in the README front door instead of a separate FORMAT.md. The decision record, and the first RFC written in the new format, is docs/rfc/implemented/process/2026-07-05-uniform-rfc-format.md.

RFC: Resolve filesystem paths against the caller's session cwd
Status: implemented
Problem
The ACP bridge gives every session its own workspace: session/new records the editor's project directory as SessionHeader.cwd, and dsh-tool-bash defaults each bash call's workdir to the calling agent's session.header.cwd (see the per-session cwd RFC work in packages/ui/acp and resolveWorkdir in dsh-tool-bash). So a bash command in session A runs in A's project, and in session B runs in B's — one server process, N workspaces.
The filesystem tools did NOT honor this. ctx.fs.resolve(path) took no caller context, and dsh-fs-local resolved every relative path against a single config.cwd fixed at plugin load (process.cwd()). In the ACP demo that means write foo.txt and bash cat foo.txt resolve foo.txt against different directories — the fs tools against the server's launch dir, bash against the session's project dir. The two tools disagree about what "the current directory" is, which is a correctness bug the moment an editor opens any project other than the server's launch dir. It only appeared to work in the snapshot harness because that harness launches the child process in the same temp dir it passes as the session cwd, so the two coincide.
Decision
Thread the caller's session cwd into path resolution, exactly as dsh-tool-bash already does for workdir. The caller (the tool) supplies the cwd; the provider does not read a session or agent.
FileSystem.resolvewidens toresolve(path: string, opts?: { cwd?: string }): Promise<FsTarget>.opts.cwdis the base a RELATIVEpathresolves against; an absolutepathignores it; omittingopts.cwduses the backend's own default. An options object (not a positionalcwd?) leaves room for future resolution hints without another signature change.dsh-fs-local.resolveusesresolveLocalTarget(opts?.cwd ?? this.config.cwd, path).config.cwdstays the default for a caller that supplies none (non-ACP / no-session use, and the single-session stdio demo whereprocess.cwd()IS the workspace).dsh-tool-fs'sread/write/editderive the session cwd through a sharedsessionCwd(exec)helper (exec.agent?.session.header.cwd, mirroring bash'sresolveWorkdir) and pass it toresolve. A non-agent / headerless caller yieldsundefined, so the backend applies its default.
Alternatives considered
Why the caller supplies the cwd (not the provider)
The provider seam must not depend on dsh-agent / dsh-session — it is a text-storage backend that a sandboxed or remote implementation also satisfies, and those have no notion of an "agent session". The tool already receives the ToolExecution (exec), which carries the agent, so the tool is the right place to project exec → cwd and hand the provider a plain string. This is the "explicit > implicit at package seams" convention: the base directory arrives as an explicit argument the provider acts on, not smuggled in by having the provider reach into a session it should not know about. It also matches dsh-tool-bash one-to-one, so the two model-facing file surfaces resolve paths identically.
The default lives in ONE place — the provider's config.cwd. sessionCwd returns undefined rather than process.cwd() when there is no session, so the tool never manufactures a base the provider would otherwise choose.
Consequences
- In the ACP demo the fs tools and bash now agree on each session's workspace; an editor can open any project folder and both tool families act on it.
- No change to
FsTargetidentity:targetKeyis still the realpath of the resolved absolute path, so observed-state keying and symlink identity are unaffected — a correct per-session cwd produces the same key bash targets. - Backward compatible: every existing
resolve(path)call (all in tests) keeps working; the new argument is optional. - The single-session stdio demo is unaffected: it supplies no session cwd (its agent's session has no
cwd), so resolution falls back toconfig.cwd = process.cwd(), which is the workspace.
