+# Agent Note: Cross-realm CDP inspector
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-08-23-cross-realm-cdp-inspector.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+Host diagnostics, browser Client observations, and JavaScript debugging originate in different JavaScript realms. A debugger transport implemented on the Host main thread cannot deliver `Debugger.resume` while that thread is paused, and a design that lets each producer emit CDP directly duplicates protocol state and couples application instrumentation to Chrome's presentation protocol.
+
+## Decision
+
+`@deepseek-ai/dsh-experimental-inspector` is one private Client/Host Cordis plugin package. Its Host face starts a Node Worker; its Client face connects directly to that Worker. Cordis owns composition, service publication, bootstrap injection, and disposal only. The source protocol, Worker state, CDP server, V8 bridge, and domain adapters do not inspect Cordis runtime data.
+
+The Worker is the sole CDP endpoint and the sole owner of CDP state. Host and Client producers send validated observations under a versioned internal protocol; Client Runtime, Console, Sources, and semantic queries use separate typed frame families on the same authenticated carrier. A realm registry gives every DevTools connection the same Runtime, Console, Sources, and Debugger capability slots, while explicit unsupported members preserve different Host and Client support levels.
+
+## Realm ownership
+
+The Host main thread owns application objects and `globalThis.fetch`. It sends observations over a dedicated `MessagePort` and never constructs CDP messages.
+
+The Client page owns browser observations, evaluated values, and Client object handles. It exchanges JSON frames directly with the Worker over an authenticated ingest WebSocket, so a paused Host does not stop Client delivery or Runtime execution.
+
+The Inspector Worker owns HTTP discovery, both WebSocket routes, source generations, retention, realm sessions, CDP sessions, and domain adapters. Each DevTools connection opens one backend session for the Host and every connected Client realm. V8 object ids remain inside the Node Runtime backend. Client object handles remain inside the typed Client protocol. One connection-local object table maps either backend handle to CDP object ids and projects the same RemoteObject, property, exception, Console, and paused-frame types.
+
+Chrome DevTools consumes one page-type target. Runtime methods route by execution context or object id. Debugger source methods route by script id; Host scripts retain native debugging, while Client scripts expose read-only content and reject active debugging. `Profiler` and `HeapProfiler` remain Host-only. `Network` and the minimal page-target scaffold run inside the Worker.
+
+## Source protocol
+
+Both MessagePort and WebSocket carriers use the same JSON value set and discriminated frames. A source identifies one logical producer and one connection generation, declares capabilities and topics, sends an initial replacement, then appends sequence-numbered batches. The Worker rejects malformed, oversized, stale-generation, and undeclared-topic frames before reading domain fields.
+
+Delivery is ordered and best-effort. Producers never wait for an acknowledgement on an application path. A bounded producer queue reports dropped prefixes through sequence gaps; the Host MessagePort carrier permits one append batch in flight and sends the next after the Worker acknowledges consumption. The Worker requests a new snapshot after an unexplained gap. Domain stores retain bounded state and explicitly close unfinished operations when a source disconnects.
+
+Runtime frames use closed command and result unions instead of method strings with untyped parameter records. Every request carries a source id, source generation, DevTools Runtime session id, request id, and command. Every result repeats those identities and the command discriminant. Console lifecycle/events, chunked source reads, and non-CDP semantic queries have separate correlated frame families. RemoteObject values, previews, property descriptors, call arguments, exceptions, Console events, debugger frames, scripts, and errors have dedicated exact decoders.
+
+## Client Runtime, Console, and Sources
+
+`Runtime.enable` publishes the Host's real execution context and one negative-id synthetic execution context for each connected Client source that declares the Runtime capability. An omitted context continues to mean Host. Client source replacement destroys the old context and creates a new context with a new generation and unique id.
+
+The Client Runtime subset covers `Runtime.evaluate`, `Runtime.getProperties`, `Runtime.callFunctionOn`, `Runtime.awaitPromise`, `Runtime.releaseObject`, `Runtime.releaseObjectGroup`, and `Runtime.globalLexicalScopeNames`. The Client executes commands in its page realm and retains live objects in a table isolated by DevTools Runtime session. It returns opaque handles and JSON-safe metadata; the Worker validates the result and assigns a connection-local CDP object id. An object argument may be used only by the same Client source generation and DevTools session. Closing the source, disabling Runtime, closing DevTools, releasing an object, or releasing an object group removes the corresponding handles.
+
+JavaScript exceptions are successful Runtime responses carrying `exceptionDetails`; transport failures use a separate error union. A Worker deadline sends request-scoped cancellation to the Client. Handles allocated for a response remain provisional until the Worker acknowledges that response, so cancellation and late responses cannot leave unreachable objects. Finite command deadlines, object counts, property counts, source bytes, and frame bytes bound retained or returned state.
+
+The Client Console observer preserves the original page call and asynchronously emits one event per enabled DevTools session. Each session serializes arguments into its own `console` object group, so disconnect, Runtime disable, or `Runtime.discardConsoleEntries` can release one connection without invalidating another. Context and Fiber arguments use the same semantic reference and DOM reverse mapping as evaluation results.
+
+The Client discovers this package's `lib/client.js` URL from the assembled web boot graph. `Debugger.enable` reads metadata through a typed source operation, and `Debugger.getScriptSource` reassembles bounded base64 chunks; the source map remains available at the advertised URL. Client-script breakpoint, step, and call-frame operations remain explicitly unsupported because page JavaScript cannot pause its own realm and continue servicing control messages. Target-wide pause and resume continue to control the Host debugger.
+
+## Host debugging
+
+The Worker attaches each DevTools connection to the Host main isolate through its own Node inspector Session. Node Runtime, Console, Sources, and Debugger backends normalize native values and events into the same realm model used by Client backends. The common projector allocates connection-local object ids for evaluation results, Console arguments, paused scopes, and call-frame results. Breakpoint requests are translated back to native backend handles before reaching Node. The default context may receive the display name `Host` while retaining its real id and metadata.
+
+The Worker event loop, DevTools socket, Client ingest socket, and Node inspector Session remain runnable while Host JavaScript is paused. Host observations naturally stop until resume.
+
+## Fetch capture
+
+Fetch capture wraps `globalThis.fetch` and is enabled by default. Every later fetch records its complete URL, headers, request body, response headers, response body, timing, cancellation, and error. No field is redacted by default; using the inspector grants local DevTools access to those secrets.
+
+The wrapper passes a normalized Request to the original fetch, reads request and response clones on independent capture tasks, and returns the original Response as soon as fetch resolves. Capture failure never changes the caller's fetch result. Finite per-body and journal budgets prevent unbounded retention; exceeding a budget preserves the captured prefix and reports truncation.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Run the CDP server on the Host main thread.** Rejected because a breakpoint freezes the socket responsible for delivering `Debugger.resume`.
+
+**Relay Client observations through the Host web server.** Rejected because the relay also freezes at a Host breakpoint and makes the Client data path depend on Host responsiveness.
+
+**Let producers emit CDP messages.** Rejected because producer code would own Chrome-specific request ids, replay, enable state, and ordering instead of domain observations.
+
+**Share one Node inspector Session across DevTools clients.** Rejected because object ids, object groups, enable state, and debugger operations belong to one protocol session; sharing requires an error-prone virtual-session layer.
+
+**Send live Client objects or CDP object ids over WebSocket.** Rejected because JSON cannot preserve identity or behavior, and a CDP object id belongs to one DevTools session. Client-local handles plus a Worker-owned per-connection mapping preserve both ownership rules.
+
+**Use one untyped Runtime RPC method.** Rejected because method strings and arbitrary parameter objects cannot enforce command/result correlation, object-reference ownership, or exhaustive evolution as Runtime, Sources, and Debugger support grows.
+
+**Split protocol, Host, and Client into separate packages.** Rejected for the experimental phase. One package keeps the capability deployable as one Client/Host plugin while source directories and build entries preserve realm boundaries.
+
+**Use Undici diagnostics channels as the complete fetch source.** Rejected because they observe transport lifecycle but cannot provide complete request and response bodies without consuming application streams. They may later augment transport-level timing.
+
+## Verification
+
+- A real Worker accepts Host MessagePort and Client WebSocket sources and exposes both through one CDP target.
+- Malformed, oversized, stale-generation, and sequence-gap frames cannot corrupt another source or the Worker.
+- Console evaluates in the Host context and receives Host console events.
+- Console lists Host and Client contexts; Client evaluation, properties, function calls, promise awaiting, and release operations preserve RemoteObject identity without sharing objects across realms or DevTools connections.
+- Host and Client Console events use the same projector; Client arguments remain isolated by DevTools connection and Cordis arguments resolve to Elements nodes.
+- Sources receives Host scripts and the built Client bundle; Client source reads are chunked and active debugging fails explicitly, while a breakpoint can pause the Host, evaluate a call frame, and resume.
+- Host paused scopes and call-frame results use the same connection-local RemoteObject table as Runtime evaluation.
+- Network replays requests that predate `Network.enable` and streams later requests without loss or duplication.
+- Successful, failed, aborted, redirected, textual, binary, streaming, and truncated fetches preserve caller behavior and expose the configured captured data.
+- Disposal stops capture, closes admission, disconnects V8 sessions, closes sockets, and waits for Worker exit before completing.
+
+## Consequences
+
+The Worker-owned endpoint keeps DevTools control responsive while Host JavaScript is paused and gives Host and Client observations one CDP state owner. That ownership adds the following security, resource, and compatibility costs.
+
+Full fetch capture intentionally exposes credentials and payloads to any local process that can attach to the CDP endpoint. Loopback binding is mandatory but is not authentication.
+
+Cloning request and response streams adds CPU, memory, and I/O pressure. Finite limits bound retained bytes but cannot make full capture free.
+
+A page-type synthetic target depends on a small set of Chrome DevTools compatibility responses outside Node's native inspector domains. Each no-op must be named and covered because silently accepting every unknown method hides protocol drift.
+
+Client Runtime execution uses page JavaScript evaluation, so page Content Security Policy may reject it and native DevTools command-line or REPL semantics are not promised. Read-only Client Sources do not imply active Client debugging; adding that capability requires an execution agent that remains responsive while the inspected page realm is paused.

+# Agent Note: 跨 realm CDP Inspector
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-08-23-cross-realm-cdp-inspector.md) | 中文
+
+## Problem
+
+Host 诊断、浏览器 Client 观测和 JavaScript 调试来自不同 JavaScript realm。Host 主线程上的 debugger transport 无法在该线程暂停时投递 `Debugger.resume`；若每个 producer 直接生成 CDP，又会重复协议状态，并把应用观测逻辑绑到 Chrome 呈现协议。
+
+## Decision
+
+`@deepseek-ai/dsh-experimental-inspector` 是一个私有 Client/Host 双面 Cordis 插件包。Host 面启动 Node Worker，Client 面直接连接该 Worker。Cordis 只负责组合、服务发布、bootstrap 注入与 dispose；source 协议、Worker 状态、CDP server、V8 bridge 和 domain adapter 不检查 Cordis 运行时数据。
+
+Worker 是唯一 CDP endpoint，也是 CDP 状态的唯一 owner。Host 与 Client producer 通过有版本的内部协议发送验证后的观测记录；Client Runtime、Console、Sources 和语义查询在同一条鉴权 carrier 上使用相互独立的类型化帧。realm registry 为每条 DevTools 连接提供相同的 Runtime、Console、Sources 和 Debugger capability slot，并用明确的 unsupported 成员保留 Host 与 Client 的支持差异。
+
+## Realm 所有权
+
+Host 主线程拥有应用对象和 `globalThis.fetch`。它通过专用 `MessagePort` 发送观测记录，绝不构造 CDP 消息。
+
+Client 页面拥有浏览器观测、求值得到的值和 Client object handle。它通过带鉴权的 ingest WebSocket 直接与 Worker 交换 JSON 帧，因此 Host 暂停不会阻断 Client 投递或 Runtime 执行。
+
+Inspector Worker 拥有 HTTP discovery、两条 WebSocket route、source generation、保留历史、realm session、CDP session 和 domain adapter。每条 DevTools 连接为 Host 和每个已连接 Client realm 分别建立一套 backend session。V8 object id 只留在 Node Runtime backend 内。Client object handle 只留在类型化 Client 协议内。单个 connection-local object table 把两类 backend handle 映射成 CDP object id，并投影同一种 RemoteObject、property、exception、Console 与 paused-frame 类型。
+
+Chrome DevTools 消费一个 page 类型 target。Runtime 方法按 execution context 或 object id 路由；Debugger source 方法按 script id 路由。Host script 保留原生调试，Client script 只暴露只读内容，并拒绝 active debugging。`Profiler` 与 `HeapProfiler` 仍然只属于 Host；`Network` 与最小 page-target scaffold 在 Worker 内执行。
+
+## Source 协议
+
+MessagePort 与 WebSocket carrier 使用同一组 JSON 值和判别联合帧。source 标识一个逻辑 producer 和一个连接 generation，声明 capability 与 topic，发送初始 replace，再追加带 sequence 的 batch。Worker 在读取 domain 字段前拒绝畸形、超限、旧 generation 和未声明 topic 的帧。
+
+投递有序且尽力而为。producer 不在应用路径上等待 acknowledgement。有界 producer 队列通过 sequence gap 报告被丢弃的前缀；Host MessagePort carrier 同时只允许一个 append batch 在途，并在 Worker 确认消费后发送下一批。无法解释的 gap 会让 Worker 请求新 snapshot。domain store 只保留有界状态，并在 source 断开时明确关闭未完成操作。
+
+Runtime 帧使用封闭的 command 与 result 联合，而不是 method 字符串加无类型 parameter record。每个 request 携带 source id、source generation、DevTools Runtime session id、request id 和 command；每个 result 重复这些身份与 command 判别符。Console lifecycle/event、分块 source 读取和非 CDP 语义查询使用各自独立的关联帧。RemoteObject value、preview、property descriptor、call argument、exception、Console event、debugger frame、script 与 error 都有独立的精确 decoder。
+
+## Client Runtime、Console 与 Sources
+
+`Runtime.enable` 发布 Host 的真实 execution context，并为每个声明 Runtime 能力的已连接 Client source 发布一个负数 id synthetic execution context。不指定 context 仍然表示 Host。Client source replacement 会销毁旧 context，并以新的 generation 与 unique id 创建新 context。
+
+Client Runtime 子集包括 `Runtime.evaluate`、`Runtime.getProperties`、`Runtime.callFunctionOn`、`Runtime.awaitPromise`、`Runtime.releaseObject`、`Runtime.releaseObjectGroup` 和 `Runtime.globalLexicalScopeNames`。Client 在页面 realm 中执行命令，并在按 DevTools Runtime session 隔离的表中保留实时对象。Client 只返回不透明 handle 与 JSON-safe metadata；Worker 验证结果并分配连接私有的 CDP object id。对象参数只能由同一 Client source generation 与 DevTools session 使用。source 断开、Runtime disable、DevTools 关闭、释放对象或释放 object group 都会移除对应 handle。
+
+JavaScript exception 是携带 `exceptionDetails` 的成功 Runtime response；transport failure 使用独立的 error 联合。Worker deadline 会向 Client 发送 request-scoped cancellation。response 分配的 handle 在 Worker 确认该 response 前保持 provisional，因此 cancellation 和 late response 不会留下无法访问的对象。有限的命令 deadline、对象数、属性数、source 字节数与帧字节数约束保留或返回的状态。
+
+Client Console observer 保持原始页面调用行为，并为每个已启用的 DevTools session 异步发出一份 event。每个 session 把 argument 序列化到自己的 `console` object group，因此断联、Runtime disable 或 `Runtime.discardConsoleEntries` 可以释放一条连接而不使其他连接失效。Context 与 Fiber argument 使用和求值结果相同的语义引用及 DOM 反向映射。
+
+Client 从组装后的 web boot graph 发现本包 `lib/client.js` 的 URL。`Debugger.enable` 通过类型化 source operation 读取 metadata，`Debugger.getScriptSource` 重组有界 base64 chunk；source map 保持在公布的 URL 上可用。Client script breakpoint、step 与 call-frame 操作明确不受支持，因为页面 JavaScript 无法暂停自身 realm 后继续处理控制消息。target-wide pause 与 resume 继续控制 Host debugger。
+
+## Host 调试
+
+Worker 为每条 DevTools 连接建立独立 Node inspector Session，并连接 Host 主 isolate。Node Runtime、Console、Sources 与 Debugger backend 把原生 value 和 event 归一化成 Client backend 使用的同一种 realm model。公共 projector 为求值结果、Console argument、paused scope 和 call-frame result 分配 connection-local object id。breakpoint request 到达 Node 前会反向转换成原生 backend handle。默认 context 可以改显示名为 `Host`，但保留真实 id 和 metadata。
+
+Host JavaScript 暂停时，Worker event loop、DevTools socket、Client ingest socket 与 Node inspector Session 仍可运行。Host 观测自然暂停到 resume。
+
+## Fetch 采集
+
+fetch 采集包装 `globalThis.fetch`，并默认开启。之后每次 fetch 都记录完整 URL、headers、请求体、响应 headers、响应体、时间、取消与错误。默认不脱敏任何字段；启用 Inspector 即把这些秘密交给本机 DevTools。
+
+wrapper 把标准化 Request 交给原 fetch，通过独立采集任务读取 request/response clone，并在 fetch resolve 后立即把原始 Response 交给调用方。采集失败不得改变调用方的 fetch 结果。有限的单体与 journal 预算阻止无界保留；超过预算时保留已采集前缀并报告截断。
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**在 Host 主线程运行 CDP server。** 拒绝，因为断点会冻结负责投递 `Debugger.resume` 的 socket。
+
+**经 Host web server 中转 Client 观测。** 拒绝，因为 Host 断点同样冻结中转，并使 Client 数据路径依赖 Host 响应。
+
+**让 producer 直接生成 CDP 消息。** 拒绝，因为 Chrome 专用 request id、回放、enable 状态和排序会落入 producer，而不是领域观测。
+
+**多个 DevTools client 共用一个 Node inspector Session。** 拒绝，因为 object id、object group、enable 状态与 debugger 操作属于单个协议 session；共享需要易错的虚拟 session 层。
+
+**通过 WebSocket 发送 Client 实时对象或 CDP object id。** 拒绝，因为 JSON 无法保留对象身份或行为，而 CDP object id 只属于一条 DevTools session。Client-local handle 加 Worker 所有的逐连接映射同时维护这两条所有权规则。
+
+**使用一个无类型 Runtime RPC method。** 拒绝，因为 method 字符串和任意 parameter object 无法保证 command/result 关联、对象引用所有权，也无法在 Runtime、Sources 与 Debugger 支持增长时做穷尽演进。
+
+**把 protocol、Host 与 Client 拆成多个包。** 实验阶段拒绝。一个包保持能力以一个 Client/Host 插件部署，同时由源码目录与构建入口维护 realm 边界。
+
+**用 Undici diagnostics channel 作为完整 fetch 数据源。** 拒绝，因为它能观察 transport lifecycle，却无法在不消费应用 stream 的前提下提供完整 request/response body。后续可以用它补充 transport 级 timing。
+
+## Verification
+
+- 真实 Worker 同时接收 Host MessagePort 与 Client WebSocket source，并通过一个 CDP target 暴露两者。
+- 畸形、超限、旧 generation 与 sequence gap 帧不会破坏其他 source 或 Worker。
+- Console 在 Host context 求值并接收 Host console event。
+- Console 列出 Host 与 Client context；Client 求值、属性、函数调用、Promise await 与释放操作维持 RemoteObject 身份，且不在 realm 或 DevTools 连接之间共享对象。
+- Host 与 Client Console event 使用相同 projector；Client argument 按 DevTools 连接隔离，Cordis argument 可以解析到 Elements node。
+- Sources 接收 Host script 与构建后的 Client bundle；Client source 读取采用分块传输，active debugging 明确失败，而 Host 仍可被断点暂停、求值 call frame 并 resume。
+- Host paused scope 与 call-frame result 使用和 Runtime 求值相同的 connection-local RemoteObject table。
+- Network 回放 `Network.enable` 前的请求，并无遗漏、无重复地推送后续请求。
+- 成功、失败、取消、重定向、文本、二进制、流式与截断 fetch 都保持调用方行为，并暴露配置允许的完整采集数据。
+- dispose 停止采集、关闭入口、断开 V8 session、关闭 socket，并等待 Worker exit 后完成。
+
+## Consequences
+
+Worker 所有的 endpoint 在 Host JavaScript 暂停时仍保持 DevTools 控制可响应，并让 Host 与 Client 观测共享唯一 CDP 状态 owner。这项所有权带来以下安全、资源与兼容性成本。
+
+完整 fetch 采集会有意把 credential 和 payload 暴露给任何能连接 CDP endpoint 的本机进程。loopback 监听是强制要求，但不是鉴权。
+
+clone request/response stream 会增加 CPU、内存与 I/O 压力。有限预算能约束保留字节，不能让完整采集没有成本。
+
+page 类型 synthetic target 依赖 Node 原生 inspector domain 之外的一组 Chrome DevTools 兼容响应。每个 no-op 都必须明确命名并有测试；统一吞掉未知方法会掩盖协议漂移。
+
+Client Runtime 执行使用页面 JavaScript 求值，因此页面 Content Security Policy 可能拒绝它，也不承诺原生 DevTools command-line 或 REPL 语义。只读 Client Sources 不代表 active Client debugging；增加该能力需要一个在被检查页面 realm 暂停时仍能响应的执行 agent。

+# Agent Note: Cordis runtime tree inspection
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-08-24-cordis-runtime-tree-inspection.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+The Inspector needs to present each Host and Client Cordis runtime as a tree in Chrome DevTools Elements. A Cordis Context or Fiber selected in Elements must also behave as a live Runtime object, while a Cordis object printed in Console must be revealable as the same semantic node. CDP identifiers cannot be the source model: `NodeId`, `BackendNodeId`, and `RemoteObjectId` have different owners and lifetimes, and a future model-facing runtime query must consume the same Cordis data without translating CDP.
+
+Host and Client run the same Cordis abstractions in different JavaScript realms. Tree discovery and classification must therefore be one browser-safe implementation, while object resolution remains realm-local and only opaque references cross MessagePort or WebSocket boundaries.
+
+## Decision
+
+The Inspector uses one serialized Cordis tree model and keeps CDP as one adapter over it. The package separates live-object discovery, immutable snapshots, Worker-owned storage, and consumers:
+
+The existing [cross-realm Inspector decision](../../implemented/architecture/2026-08-23-cross-realm-cdp-inspector.md) owns the Worker, source carriers, Runtime routing, and security model. This note owns only the Cordis semantic data and its consumers.
+
+```text
+Host Context/Fiber ─┐
+                    ├─ CordisTreeCollector ─ CordisTreeSnapshot ─ source transport ─ CordisTreeStore ─┬─ CDP DOM adapter
+Client Context/Fiber┘                                                                                 └─ future model adapter
+```
+
+`CordisTreeCollector` and its identity registry are browser-safe modules compiled into both package faces. Host and Client instantiate that same code against their own `ctx.root`; neither side carries a second classification implementation.
+
+## Cordis tree model
+
+`CordisTreeSnapshot` is a CDP-independent, lossless-JSON value with a schema version, monotonically increasing revision, object-registry id, truncation flag, and one nested root Context. Context nodes contain an opaque object handle and ordered Context/Fiber children. Fiber nodes contain their Cordis `uid`, an opaque object handle, and exactly one Context child representing `fiber.ctx`. Host and Client publish this same realm-tree type. No generated Context id, plugin metadata, service data, arbitrary property value, or object preview enters the tree.
+
+The inspection tree starts at the root Context and omits the Cordis root Fiber. For every other plugin, its parent Context contains the Fiber and that Fiber contains its owned Context. A Context created by `extend()`, `isolate()`, or `intercept()` without a new Fiber remains a direct Context child. Nesting expresses parentage without generated node ids and preserves both object identities without introducing the `Fiber.ctx` / `Context.fiber` cycle.
+
+The collector starts from the root, every live registry Fiber, and every event hook's owning Context. It follows Context prototype links back to the inspected root, unwraps Cordis shadow contexts, deduplicates by object identity, and excludes disposed fibers. `internal/plugin` and `internal/status` events schedule one microtask-coalesced replacement snapshot. Node-count and encoded-byte limits remove complete trailing branches, so every retained node still has its parent and every retained Fiber still has its owned Context.
+
+## Identity and lifetime
+
+The identities are intentionally distinct:
+
+- Fiber `uid` comes from Cordis. Context currently has no Cordis-owned id and the Inspector does not expose a generated substitute.
+- `InspectorObjectReference` is an opaque realm-local handle resolving a tree node to its live Context or Fiber. Snapshots carry the handle for routing, never as a semantic id or DOM attribute.
+- `BackendNodeId` is assigned by the Worker to one retained `(source id, source generation, object reference)` and is shared by DevTools connections while that generation's snapshot is retained.
+- `NodeId` is assigned per DevTools connection when a node enters that frontend's document. It remains stable while the corresponding backend node is retained and is discarded when that node leaves the tree, on the rare full-document fallback, or when the connection closes.
+- `RemoteObjectId` is assigned by the selected Runtime session when `DOM.resolveNode` exposes the live object. It remains scoped to that DevTools connection and object group.
+
+`sourceId` identifies one Client runtime instance and remains stable across its automatic transport reconnects; `generation` identifies one WebSocket admission. Disconnect removes the synthetic context from the Console with `Runtime.executionContextDestroyed`. Reconnection announces a fresh CDP execution-context id because the destroyed id and its RemoteObjects cannot be reused, but this does not imply that the browser's underlying JavaScript realm was recreated.
+
+Standard CDP does not place a `RemoteObjectId` field on `DOM.Node`. `DOM.Node` carries `nodeId` and `backendNodeId`; `DOM.resolveNode` returns the corresponding `Runtime.RemoteObject`, and `DOM.requestNode` performs the reverse mapping. The implementation keeps these three CDP identities correlated without adding non-standard DOM fields.
+
+## Realm object bridge
+
+Each collector registers a realm-local object table under a private global symbol. The table maps opaque handles to live objects and can identify a currently retained object by identity. Replacing a snapshot removes handles absent from the new tree; disposing the observer unregisters the table.
+
+For Host nodes, the Worker uses that DevTools connection's private `node:inspector.Session` to evaluate a lookup in the Host table, producing a native V8 `RemoteObjectId`. For Client nodes, the Worker routes the same lookup through the existing typed Client Runtime channel and maps the returned Client handle to a connection-local CDP object id. No live object or engine object id crosses a source transport.
+
+Client Runtime values carry an optional validated `InspectorObjectReference`, while Host Runtime values are probed through their native V8 object id. The common CDP adapter changes recognized evaluation results, properties, exceptions, Console arguments, and paused-frame objects to `subtype: "node"`, records the object-id-to-backend-node relation, and supplies the Cordis element description. This gives both directions: Elements can expose a live object, and a Context or Fiber returned or printed in Console can be revealed in Elements.
+
+## Worker repository and updates
+
+Sources publish the Cordis tree as retained state rather than an event history. Host MessagePort and Client WebSocket publishers keep the latest state record and include it in `source/replace` after admission, reconnection, or a resnapshot request. Live replacements still use the ordinary sequenced append path. The Worker validates every snapshot for exact fields, bounded node count and depth, unique object handles and Fiber uids, a Context root, and exactly one Context child per Fiber before atomically replacing the prior tree.
+
+`CordisTreeStore` owns validated realm snapshots and source lifecycle only. Its internal reader retains live object routes for Runtime and DOM, while its public reader projects a detached `{ host, clients }` tree without transport or CDP ids. Host and Client `ctx.inspector.cordis.getTree()` calls use the same correlated query protocol and Worker reader without creating a CDP session. `CordisDomBackend` adds Worker-global backend ids, while each `CordisDomSession` owns frontend node ids, searches, enabled state, and RemoteObject correlations. A model adapter can consume the public reader without depending on DOM serialization or debugger activation.
+
+Closing a source changes its stored tree from connected to disconnected instead of deleting the last snapshot. Object lookup excludes disconnected trees, so the snapshot remains inspectable as data without retaining or reviving a live Context, Fiber, or Runtime object. A replacement from the same source id and a new transport generation atomically restores the connected state. The configurable disconnected-tree limit evicts the oldest retained snapshots.
+
+Accepted source snapshots rebuild the connection-neutral document and are diffed by stable backend node identity. A revision-only replacement emits no DOM event. Child insertion and removal use `DOM.childNodeInserted` and `DOM.childNodeRemoved`; attribute changes use their corresponding DOM events; sibling reorder falls back to `DOM.setChildNodes` for that parent only. Reusing one backend identity for a different node kind is the sole `DOM.documentUpdated` fallback. A disconnect invalidates object routes without changing the retained DOM tree, preserving expansion and selection; retention eviction removes only the evicted `<client>` node.
+
+## CDP projection
+
+The synthetic document has a `<host>` container and a `<clients>` container. `<host>` contains the Host root Context. `<clients>` contains one `<client>` per Client source, and each `<client>` contains that realm's root Context. These structural elements have no Runtime object or attributes. Context elements have no attributes. Fiber elements expose only `uid`, copied without reinterpretation from Cordis. Connected Context and Fiber elements resolve to live RemoteObjects; disconnected snapshots retain their DOM nodes but object resolution fails.
+
+Standard CDP has no backend-controlled frozen, locked, or dimmed state for a node in the ordinary Elements tree. Chromium's detached-node presentation is frontend-local to the Memory panel's `DOM.getDetachedDomNodes` flow. No connection-state attribute or non-standard `DOM.Node` field is added until its presentation is decided.
+
+The read-only adapter implements document retrieval, child requests, node description, attributes, outer HTML, search, backend-id pushes, node resolution, and reverse object lookup. Mutating DOM methods fail explicitly. Layout, CSS, accessibility, and browser DOM geometry are outside this semantic tree and return empty or unsupported responses only where Chrome DevTools requires a compatibility response.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Build CDP DOM nodes directly in each realm.** Rejected because Host and Client would duplicate classification, frontend ids would leak into source protocols, and a model consumer would need to reverse a presentation protocol back into Cordis concepts.
+
+**Send live objects or V8 object ids to the Worker.** Rejected because structured clone and JSON do not preserve identity or behavior, and engine object ids belong to one inspector session.
+
+**Generate an Inspector Context id.** Rejected because Cordis Context has no intrinsic id and a presentation adapter must not make an implementation key look like framework identity. Nested children express parentage; opaque object handles remain routing data.
+
+**Use one id for Fiber uid, backend nodes, and frontend nodes.** Rejected because source reconnection, multiple DevTools connections, document refresh, and Runtime object release have independent lifetimes.
+
+**Expose only Contexts and treat each Fiber-owned Context as the Fiber.** Rejected because it loses one of the two live objects, makes Console identity ambiguous, and prevents later Fiber-specific properties from having a stable owner.
+
+**Put the model-facing API on the CDP adapter.** Rejected because model access would inherit Chrome-specific node serialization, per-connection ids, and enable state. The Worker repository is the shared source; CDP and model access are sibling adapters.
+
+**Remove a realm tree when its source disconnects.** Rejected because transport loss would discard the last useful topology and collapse the user's Elements inspection state. Keeping old object handles usable was also rejected: a new connection generation cannot prove that any prior live object still exists.
+
+## Verification
+
+- The same collector implementation produces Host and Client snapshots from equivalent Cordis runtimes.
+- Elements shows `<host>` and `<clients>/<client>` containers with each realm's root Context directly beneath its container.
+- Context elements have no attributes; Fiber elements expose only their Cordis `uid`; the root Fiber is absent.
+- Every connected Context and Fiber has a connection-local frontend node id, a Worker backend node id, and a resolvable connection-local Runtime object id without exposing them as attributes.
+- `DOM.resolveNode` and `DOM.requestNode` round-trip Context and Fiber identities without sharing object ids across DevTools connections or source generations.
+- A Context or Fiber returned by Runtime evaluation is node-branded and can be revealed in Elements.
+- Disconnect destroys the Client execution context and its RemoteObjects while retaining the last Elements tree unchanged; a new transport generation replaces it after a complete snapshot arrives.
+- Reconnect and resnapshot replay the latest tree state; unchanged snapshots emit no DOM mutation, while structural changes update only their affected parent or node. Malformed or oversized replacements do not replace the last valid snapshot.
+- The stored snapshot and query API contain no CDP types and can support a future model-facing adapter unchanged.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Cordis exposes no complete global Context registry. The collector can recover contexts reachable from live fibers and event hooks; a context that is created, never used, and retained only by application code is intentionally absent.
+
+Object recognition adds a Runtime round trip for each Host object that requires semantic identification. An annotation failure leaves an ordinary RemoteObject rather than breaking Runtime or Debugger delivery. Client Console observation preserves the original method result and schedules serialization afterward; each enabled DevTools session receives independently retained handles, so recognition never blocks the page call or shares objects between connections.
+
+Sources continue to publish complete snapshots, keeping one shared Host/Client collector and allowing recovery after dropped observations. The Worker pays the snapshot comparison cost, then emits incremental CDP DOM mutations so unchanged revisions do not reset the Elements document. Node and byte limits preserve a valid prefix and report truncation; a later source delta protocol can replace the transport without changing the snapshot model or CDP projection.
+
+The object table intentionally keeps every object in the current visible tree strongly reachable until the next replacement or observer disposal. This is bounded by the retained snapshot and must not become a general-purpose object registry.
+
+The Worker retains only serialized metadata for a disconnected snapshot; any still-running source owns its realm-local object registry independently and disposal releases that registry. `maxDisconnectedCordisTrees` bounds Worker snapshot memory, and eviction removes the corresponding retained Client subtree.

+# Agent Note: Cordis 运行时树检查
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-08-24-cordis-runtime-tree-inspection.md) | 中文
+
+## Problem
+
+Inspector 需要在 Chrome DevTools Elements 中把每个 Host 和 Client Cordis 运行时呈现为一棵树。在 Elements 中选中的 Cordis Context 或 Fiber 也必须表现为实时 Runtime 对象，而 Console 中打印出的 Cordis 对象必须能定位回同一个语义节点。CDP id 不能成为源模型：`NodeId`、`BackendNodeId` 与 `RemoteObjectId` 的 owner 和生命周期不同，并且未来面向模型的运行时查询必须使用同一份 Cordis 数据，而不是再反向解析 CDP。
+
+Host 与 Client 在不同 JavaScript realm 中运行相同的 Cordis 抽象。因此，树发现与分类必须只有一份浏览器安全实现；对象解析仍留在各自 realm 内，跨 MessagePort 或 WebSocket 只传递不透明引用。
+
+## Decision
+
+Inspector 使用一套序列化 Cordis 树模型，并把 CDP 作为它的一个适配器。包内分离实时对象发现、不可变快照、Worker 存储与消费方：
+
+现有的[跨 realm Inspector 决策](../../implemented/architecture/2026-08-23-cross-realm-cdp-inspector.zh.md)负责 Worker、source carrier、Runtime 路由与安全模型；本 Note 只负责 Cordis 语义数据及其消费方。
+
+```text
+Host Context/Fiber ─┐
+                    ├─ CordisTreeCollector ─ CordisTreeSnapshot ─ source transport ─ CordisTreeStore ─┬─ CDP DOM adapter
+Client Context/Fiber┘                                                                                 └─ future model adapter
+```
+
+`CordisTreeCollector` 及其身份注册表是浏览器安全模块，同时编入包的两个运行面。Host 与 Client 针对各自的 `ctx.root` 实例化同一份代码；任何一侧都不维护第二套分类实现。
+
+## Cordis tree model
+
+`CordisTreeSnapshot` 是与 CDP 无关的无损 JSON 值，包含 schema 版本、单调递增 revision、对象注册表 id、截断标志和一棵以 Context 为根的嵌套树。Context 节点包含不透明 object handle 与有序的 Context/Fiber children。Fiber 节点包含 Cordis `uid`、不透明 object handle，以及唯一一个表示 `fiber.ctx` 的 Context child。Host 与 Client 发布同一种 realm-tree 类型。生成的 Context id、插件 metadata、服务数据、任意属性值与对象 preview 都不进入树。
+
+inspection tree 从 root Context 开始，不包含 Cordis root Fiber。对其他每个插件，其 parent Context 包含 Fiber，该 Fiber 再包含它拥有的 Context。通过 `extend()`、`isolate()` 或 `intercept()` 创建且未创建新 Fiber 的 Context 仍是直接 Context 子节点。嵌套结构无需生成 node id 即可表达 parent，并保留两类对象身份，同时避免把 `Fiber.ctx` / `Context.fiber` 环写入序列化树。
+
+collector 从 root、注册表中的每个 live Fiber，以及每个 event hook 的 owner Context 开始。它沿 Context prototype 链回溯到被检查的 root，解开 Cordis shadow Context，按对象身份去重，并排除已 dispose 的 Fiber。`internal/plugin` 与 `internal/status` 事件调度一次 microtask 合并后的 replacement snapshot。节点数和编码字节数限制会移除完整的尾部 branch，因此每个保留节点仍有 parent，每个保留 Fiber 仍有其 owned Context。
+
+## Identity and lifetime
+
+各类身份刻意保持独立：
+
+- Fiber `uid` 来自 Cordis。Context 当前没有 Cordis 自有 id，Inspector 不会暴露一个生成值来替代。
+- `InspectorObjectReference` 是 realm 本地的不透明 handle，用于把树节点解析成实时 Context 或 Fiber。snapshot 携带该 handle 只为完成路由，不把它当成语义 id 或 DOM attribute。
+- `BackendNodeId` 由 Worker 为一条保留的 `(source id, source generation, object reference)` 分配，并在该 generation 的 snapshot 被保留期间由所有 DevTools 连接共享。
+- `NodeId` 在节点进入某个 frontend document 时按 DevTools 连接分配；对应 backend node 被保留期间保持稳定，并在节点离开树、少见的整 document fallback 或连接关闭时丢弃。
+- `RemoteObjectId` 在 `DOM.resolveNode` 暴露实时对象时由选定的 Runtime session 分配；它只属于该 DevTools 连接和 object group。
+
+`sourceId` 标识一个 Client runtime instance，并在自动重连 transport 时保持稳定；`generation` 标识一次 WebSocket 接纳。断联通过 `Runtime.executionContextDestroyed` 从 Console 移除 synthetic context。重连会发布新的 CDP execution-context id，因为已销毁的 id 及其 RemoteObject 不能复用；这并不表示浏览器底层 JavaScript realm 被重新创建。
+
+标准 CDP 不会在 `DOM.Node` 上放置 `RemoteObjectId` 字段。`DOM.Node` 携带 `nodeId` 与 `backendNodeId`；`DOM.resolveNode` 返回对应的 `Runtime.RemoteObject`，`DOM.requestNode` 执行反向映射。实现会关联这三类 CDP 身份，而不添加非标准 DOM 字段。
+
+## Realm object bridge
+
+每个 collector 都在私有 global symbol 下注册一个 realm 本地对象表。该表把不透明 handle 映射到实时对象，并能按身份识别当前保留的对象。替换快照时会移除新树中不存在的 handle；dispose observer 时注销该表。
+
+对 Host 节点，Worker 使用该 DevTools 连接私有的 `node:inspector.Session` 在 Host 对象表中执行查询，从而生成原生 V8 `RemoteObjectId`。对 Client 节点，Worker 通过已有的类型化 Client Runtime channel 路由同一查询，再把返回的 Client handle 映射为连接本地 CDP object id。实时对象和引擎 object id 都不会穿过 source transport。
+
+Client Runtime value 携带一个可选、已验证的 `InspectorObjectReference`，Host Runtime value 则通过原生 V8 object id 探测。公共 CDP adapter 把已识别的 evaluation result、property、exception、Console argument 和 paused-frame object 改成 `subtype: "node"`，记录 object-id 到 backend-node 的关系，并提供 Cordis element description。这样两个方向都成立：Elements 可以暴露实时对象，Console 中返回或打印的 Context 与 Fiber 也能定位到 Elements。
+
+## Worker repository and updates
+
+source 把 Cordis 树作为保留状态发布，而不是事件历史。Host MessagePort 与 Client WebSocket publisher 保留最新状态记录，并在接纳、重连或收到 resnapshot 请求后把它放入 `source/replace`。实时 replacement 仍走普通的有序 append 路径。Worker 在原子替换旧树前验证 snapshot 的精确字段、节点数与深度限制、object handle 与 Fiber uid 唯一性、Context root，以及每个 Fiber 恰好拥有一个 Context child。
+
+`CordisTreeStore` 只拥有已验证 realm snapshot 和 source 生命周期。内部 reader 为 Runtime 与 DOM 保留 live object route；公共 reader 则投影一棵不含 transport 或 CDP id 的 detached `{ host, clients }` tree。Host 与 Client 的 `ctx.inspector.cordis.getTree()` 通过同一套关联查询协议读取同一个 Worker reader，不创建 CDP session。`CordisDomBackend` 增加 Worker 全局 backend id，每个 `CordisDomSession` 则拥有 frontend node id、搜索、enable 状态和 RemoteObject 关联。模型 adapter 可以消费公共 reader，而不依赖 DOM 序列化或 debugger activation。
+
+source 关闭时，存储的树从 connected 变为 disconnected，而不是删除最后一份 snapshot。对象查询会排除 disconnected 树，因此 snapshot 仍可作为数据检查，但不会保留或复活实时 Context、Fiber 或 Runtime object。同一 source id 的新 transport generation 提交 replacement 后，会原子恢复 connected 状态。可配置的 disconnected tree 数量上限会淘汰最早保留的 snapshot。
+
+每个被接受的 source snapshot 都会重建 connection-neutral document，并按稳定的 backend node identity 比较差异。只改变 revision 的 replacement 不发送 DOM event；子节点增删使用 `DOM.childNodeInserted` 与 `DOM.childNodeRemoved`，attribute 变化使用对应 DOM event，兄弟节点重排只对该 parent 使用 `DOM.setChildNodes`。只有同一 backend identity 被复用为不同 node kind 时才回退到 `DOM.documentUpdated`。断联只会使 object route 失效，不改变保留的 DOM tree，因此保留展开与选择；达到保留上限时只移除被淘汰的 `<client>` 节点。
+
+## CDP projection
+
+synthetic document 包含一个 `<host>` container 和一个 `<clients>` container。`<host>` 包含 Host root Context；`<clients>` 为每个 Client source 包含一个 `<client>`，每个 `<client>` 再包含该 realm 的 root Context。这些结构 element 没有 Runtime object 或 attribute。Context element 没有 attribute。Fiber element 只暴露从 Cordis 原样复制的 `uid`。connected Context 与 Fiber 可以解析为 live RemoteObject；disconnected snapshot 保留 DOM node，但对象解析失败。
+
+标准 CDP 没有可由 backend 控制、用于普通 Elements 树节点的 frozen、locked 或 dimmed 状态。Chromium 的 detached-node 展示只存在于 Memory 面板的 `DOM.getDetachedDomNodes` 流程，并由 frontend 本地设置。在展示方式明确前，不增加 connection-state attribute 或非标准 `DOM.Node` 字段。
+
+只读适配器实现 document 获取、子节点请求、节点描述、属性、outer HTML、搜索、backend-id push、节点解析和对象反向查询。修改型 DOM 方法明确失败。layout、CSS、accessibility 与浏览器 DOM geometry 不属于这棵语义树；仅在 Chrome DevTools 需要兼容响应时返回空结果或 unsupported。
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**在每个 realm 直接构建 CDP DOM node。** 拒绝，因为 Host 与 Client 会重复分类，frontend id 会泄漏进 source 协议，模型消费方还必须把展示协议反向解析成 Cordis 概念。
+
+**把实时对象或 V8 object id 发送给 Worker。** 拒绝，因为 structured clone 与 JSON 无法保留身份或行为，而且引擎 object id 只属于一个 inspector session。
+
+**由 Inspector 生成 Context id。** 拒绝，因为 Cordis Context 没有自身 id，展示适配器不能把实现 key 伪装成框架身份。嵌套 children 表达 parent，不透明 object handle 只作为路由数据。
+
+**Fiber uid、backend node 与 frontend node 共用一个 id。** 拒绝，因为 source 重连、多条 DevTools 连接、document refresh 与 Runtime object release 的生命周期彼此独立。
+
+**只暴露 Context，并把每个 Fiber 拥有的 Context 当成 Fiber。** 拒绝，因为这会丢失两类实时对象中的一类，使 Console 身份产生歧义，并让后续 Fiber 专属属性失去稳定 owner。
+
+**把模型访问 API 放在 CDP 适配器上。** 拒绝，因为模型访问会继承 Chrome 专用 node 序列化、逐连接 id 和 enable 状态。Worker repository 是共享数据源，CDP 与模型访问是并列适配器。
+
+**source 断联时移除 realm 树。** 拒绝，因为传输中断会丢失最后一份有用拓扑，并折叠用户在 Elements 中的检查状态。继续使用旧 object handle 同样不可接受：新的连接 generation 无法证明任何先前实时对象仍然存在。
+
+## Verification
+
+- 同一个 collector 实现能从等价 Cordis 运行时生成 Host 和 Client 快照。
+- Elements 显示 `<host>` 与 `<clients>/<client>` container，每个 realm 的 root Context 直接位于其 container 下。
+- Context element 不含 attribute；Fiber element 只暴露 Cordis `uid`；root Fiber 不出现。
+- 每个 connected Context 与 Fiber 都有一个连接本地 frontend node id、一个 Worker backend node id 和一个可解析的连接本地 Runtime object id，且它们都不作为 attribute 暴露。
+- `DOM.resolveNode` 与 `DOM.requestNode` 能往返映射 Context/Fiber 身份，且不会跨 DevTools 连接或 source generation 共享 object id。
+- Runtime evaluation 返回的 Context 或 Fiber 会被标记为 node，并能在 Elements 中定位。
+- 断联会销毁 Client execution context 与 RemoteObject，同时原样保留最后一棵 Elements 树；新的 transport generation 在完整 snapshot 到达后替换它。
+- 重连和 resnapshot 会重放最新树状态；无变化的 snapshot 不发送 DOM mutation，结构变化只更新受影响的 parent 或 node。畸形或超限 replacement 不会替换最后一个有效快照。
+- 存储的 snapshot 与查询 API 不包含 CDP 类型，可以不加修改地支持未来的模型适配器。
+
+## Consequences
+
+Cordis 不提供完整的全局 Context registry。collector 能恢复从 live fiber 与 event hook 可达的 Context；一个已创建、从未使用且只由应用代码保留的 Context 会有意缺席。
+
+需要语义识别的每个 Host object 都会增加一次 Runtime round trip。annotation 失败时保留普通 RemoteObject，不破坏 Runtime 或 Debugger 投递。Client Console observation 保留原始 method result，并在之后调度序列化；每个已启用 DevTools session 独立保留 handle，因此识别既不阻塞页面调用，也不在连接间共享对象。
+
+source 仍发布完整 snapshot，从而复用同一套 Host/Client collector，并能在 observation 丢失后恢复。Worker 承担 snapshot 比较成本，再发送增量 CDP DOM mutation，使无变化的 revision 不会重置 Elements document。节点数与字节数限制会保留有效前缀并报告截断；以后可以替换 source delta 协议，而不修改 snapshot model 或 CDP projection。
+
+对象表会有意强引用当前可见树中的每个对象，直到下一次 replacement 或 observer dispose。该集合受保留快照限制，不能扩展成通用对象注册表。
+
+Worker 对断联 snapshot 只保留序列化 metadata；仍在运行的 source 独立拥有其 realm-local object registry，dispose 会释放该 registry。`maxDisconnectedCordisTrees` 约束 Worker snapshot 内存；淘汰时会移除对应的已保留 Client subtree。

+# Agent Note: Inspector execution realms and protocol planes
+
+Status: implemented

+
+## Problem
+
+The Inspector package executes code in three JavaScript environments: the browser Client, the Host Node main thread, and an Inspector Worker thread. Without execution-oriented directories, feature names alone do not establish where code runs or which identifiers it may own.
+
+This ambiguity is risky because Host and Client support intentionally differs while their architecture must remain comparable. Host Runtime and Debugger delegate to Node's inspector protocol; Client Runtime and Console simulate the same backend semantics over an internal bridge. If their files, interfaces, and unsupported operations diverge structurally, each new protocol method encourages a second routing model. Likewise, consumers that only need the Cordis runtime tree must not inherit debugger activation, Chrome connection state, or CDP identifiers.
+
+The [cross-realm CDP inspector decision](2026-08-23-cross-realm-cdp-inspector.md) owns Worker, transport, Runtime, debugger, and security behavior. The [Cordis runtime tree inspection decision](2026-08-24-cordis-runtime-tree-inspection.md) owns Cordis tree semantics, object routing, and DOM projection. This decision owns source placement, dependency direction, and the separation between domain data, backend semantics, internal transport, and Chrome CDP state.
+
+## Decision
+
+Top-level source directories identify execution ownership. `client/` contains only browser Client code, `host/` only Host Node-main-thread code, `worker/` only Worker-thread code, and `shared/` code that is safe in every environment. A module that executes in the Worker on behalf of a Client belongs under `worker/`, not `client/`.
+
+The repository-required `src/index.ts` and `src/invariant.ts` discovery entries are the only root-level source exceptions. They expose the Host package entry and its service type or register the invariant companion, contain no Inspector runtime implementation, and remain at fixed paths for repository tooling.
+
+```text
+src/
+  shared/   environment-independent data and interfaces
+  client/   browser Client producer and adapters
+  host/     Host Node-main-thread producer and adapters
+  worker/   Worker transport, repositories, realm backends, and CDP endpoint
+```
+
+`client/` and `host/` have the same relative directories and filenames. Their common roles are plugin entry, bridge lifecycle and RPC, Cordis and network inspection, and CDP-oriented Runtime, Console, Debugger, Sources, Profiler, and HeapProfiler adapters. Support may differ: an unavailable operation remains in the corresponding mirrored module and returns the shared capability-unavailable or typed-unsupported result. Mirroring standardizes where a capability is implemented; it does not claim equal engine support.
+
+Worker-side realm adapters use the same rule under `worker/realms/client/` and `worker/realms/host/`. These adapters normalize Client simulation and Node inspector behavior behind shared CDP-oriented backend interfaces. They do not own Chrome wire messages or connection-local CDP identifiers.
+
+## Execution ownership
+
+`client/` owns page-realm observation, Client object handles, browser evaluation, browser Console interception, Client source publication, and its direct authenticated bridge to the Worker. It may use browser APIs but not Node or Worker implementation modules.
+
+`host/` owns Cordis plugin composition on the Node main thread, Worker startup and disposal, Host object observation, fetch capture, Node inspector notification forwarding, and the Host side of the Worker bridge. It may use Node APIs but does not construct Chrome CDP responses.
+
+`worker/bridge/` owns source admission, transport endpoints, connection generations, frame dispatch, correlation, and routing between source producers and Worker consumers. `worker/inspection/` owns retained Cordis and network observations plus transport-independent queries. `worker/realms/` owns the normalized Host and Client runtime backends. `worker/cdp/` owns HTTP discovery, DevTools sessions, Chrome method dispatch, domain enable state, and every connection-local Chrome identifier.
+
+The Worker remains the sole Chrome CDP wire and state owner. Client code simulates shared backend operations, not the CDP wire. Host code delegates supported backend operations to Node inspector, but Node protocol identifiers are translated inside the Worker Host realm before common domain projection.
+
+## Data and identifier ownership
+
+`shared/cordis/` contains the CDP-independent semantic model, immutable snapshots, collection and observation, realm-local object registration, projections, and reader interfaces. `model.ts` contains no transport handles or CDP identifiers. `snapshot.ts` may carry a realm-local opaque object reference because a live object query needs that route, but consumers can project it away.
+
+`shared/network/` contains fetch and network observations, captured body representation, and header normalization. These records describe observed activity and do not contain CDP request ids or domain enable state.
+
+`shared/cdp/` contains normalized backend interfaces and values for realm capabilities, Runtime, Console, Debugger, Sources, Profiler, HeapProfiler, and typed unsupported results. Backend handles in these interfaces are opaque and realm-owned. They are not Chrome `RemoteObjectId`, `ExecutionContextId`, `ScriptId`, or `CallFrameId` values.
+
+`shared/bridge/` contains the versioned internal carrier: source and generation identifiers, envelopes, codecs, validation, bounded publication, RPC correlation, dispatch interfaces, and domain-specific message unions. Its message modules may transport Cordis snapshots, network observations, Console events, Runtime operations, source reads, debugger operations, and semantic queries without turning those values into CDP messages.
+
+`worker/cdp/ids.ts` is the only owner of Chrome connection-local identifiers such as `RemoteObjectId`, `ExecutionContextId`, `ScriptId`, `NodeId`, and `CallFrameId`. Worker domain sessions allocate and release them and map them to realm backend handles or inspection records. Source, generation, sequence, request, Cordis Fiber uid, realm object reference, backend handle, and Chrome id remain distinct types because their owners and lifetimes differ.
+
+## Dependency rules
+
+The domain modules `shared/cordis/`, `shared/network/`, and `shared/cdp/` do not import `shared/bridge/` or any execution-specific directory. `shared/bridge/` may import those domain types when defining internal messages. No module under `shared/` imports Node-only or browser-only APIs.
+
+Top-level `client/` and `host/` import `shared/` but never each other or `worker/`. Equivalent roles use equivalent shared interfaces. Environment-specific transport and engine behavior stays in the mirrored implementation file rather than entering a shared conditional implementation.
+
+`worker/realms/` and `worker/inspection/` import shared interfaces but do not import `worker/cdp/`; normalized backend results and stored observations cannot contain Chrome connection state. `worker/cdp/` may consume realm and inspection interfaces to project CDP. `worker/bridge/` routes shared messages and invokes Worker services without becoming an owner of Cordis, network, Runtime, or Chrome state.
+
+The package remains one `@deepseek-ai/dsh-experimental-inspector` package with explicit Client and Host compiler faces. Directory separation is an execution and dependency rule, not a package split.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Every runtime implementation has an unambiguous execution owner through `shared/`, `client/`, `host/`, or `worker/`; only the repository-required package and invariant forwarding entries remain at the source root.
+- Top-level Client and Host trees, and Worker Client and Host realm trees, have identical relative implementation paths; unequal capability support is explicit and typed.
+- Cordis and network readers are usable without importing debugger, source, transport, or CDP session modules.
+- Internal messages contain source-level identities and validated domain values but no Chrome connection-local ids.
+- Normalized realm backend interfaces support Host delegation and Client simulation without either implementation constructing Chrome CDP messages.
+- Only Worker CDP modules allocate Chrome ids and own DevTools connection enable, object, script, node, and call-frame state.
+- Host Runtime and debugging, Client Runtime and Console, Network capture, Cordis Elements projection, disconnect retention, and semantic query behavior have focused coverage.
+- Compiler faces, import checks, and the structural layout test reject environment leaks and Client/Host mirror drift.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Organize every file by feature domain.** Rejected because a Runtime or Cordis feature spans three environments with different available APIs. Feature-only paths conceal execution constraints and make accidental browser-to-Node imports difficult to review.
+
+**Put Worker Client and Host adapters in top-level `client/` and `host/`.** Rejected because those adapters execute in the Worker and own different resources from page and Node-main-thread producers. A directory name must answer where code runs before it answers which remote realm it represents.
+
+**Allow Client and Host trees to contain only currently supported files.** Rejected because asymmetric layout obscures missing capability decisions and lets equivalent routing roles acquire unrelated interfaces. Explicit unsupported implementations keep evolution exhaustive without pretending support exists.
+
+**Keep one shared protocol directory.** Rejected because internal carrier identities, Cordis semantic data, normalized Runtime values, and Chrome wire identifiers have different consumers and lifetimes. A single directory encourages domain models to depend on transport and CDP presentation.
+
+**Split Client, Host, protocol, and Worker into separate packages.** Rejected for the experimental phase. The deployment unit remains one Client/Host Cordis plugin, and package boundaries would add build and release coordination without improving the required execution separation.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Exact mirroring adds small adapter files for unsupported capabilities. Those files are intentional compatibility points between implementations, but they must stay thin and must not manufacture fake behavior.
+
+Moving types without changing behavior can still expose hidden dependency cycles, especially where Runtime object annotation reaches Cordis repositories. The dependency rules require inversion through shared interfaces rather than a temporary import from a lower-level module.
+
+`shared/cdp/` can become a second copy of the Chrome protocol if normalized types are added indiscriminately. A shared type belongs there only when both realm implementations or a common Worker projector consume it; Chrome session bookkeeping and wire-only fields remain under `worker/cdp/`.
+
+Explicit Client and Host compiler faces and focused behavior tests add maintenance work, but they keep environment leaks and mirror drift visible.

+# Agent Note: Inspector 执行环境与协议平面
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-08-26-inspector-execution-realms-and-protocol-planes.md) | 中文
+
+## Problem
+
+Inspector 包的代码运行在三个 JavaScript 环境中：浏览器 Client、Host Node 主线程和 Inspector Worker thread。只按功能命名目录时，文件路径无法说明代码在哪里运行，也无法说明它可以持有哪些标识符。
+
+这种含糊会带来风险，因为 Host 与 Client 的支持能力有意不同，但架构必须保持可比较。Host Runtime 与 Debugger 委托 Node inspector protocol；Client Runtime 与 Console 通过内部 bridge 模拟同一套 backend 语义。如果两边的文件、接口与 unsupported operation 在结构上分叉，每增加一种协议方法都容易产生第二套路由模型。同样，只需要 Cordis 运行时树的消费方不应继承 debugger activation、Chrome 连接状态或 CDP 标识符。
+
+现有的[跨 realm CDP Inspector 决策](2026-08-23-cross-realm-cdp-inspector.zh.md)负责 Worker、transport、Runtime、debugger 与安全行为。[Cordis 运行时树检查决策](2026-08-24-cordis-runtime-tree-inspection.zh.md)负责 Cordis 树语义、对象路由与 DOM projection。本决策负责源码位置、依赖方向，以及领域数据、backend 语义、内部 transport 和 Chrome CDP 状态之间的分隔。
+
+## Decision
+
+顶层源码目录标识执行归属。`client/` 只包含浏览器 Client 代码，`host/` 只包含 Host Node 主线程代码，`worker/` 只包含 Worker thread 代码，`shared/` 只包含在所有环境中都安全的代码。即使某个模块代表 Client，只要它实际在 Worker 中执行，就仍属于 `worker/`，而不是 `client/`。
+
+仓库要求的 `src/index.ts` 与 `src/invariant.ts` 发现入口是仅有的源码根目录例外。它们暴露 Host package entry 及其 service type，或注册 invariant companion，不包含 Inspector 运行时实现，并为仓库工具保留在固定路径。
+
+```text
+src/
+  shared/   environment-independent data and interfaces
+  client/   browser Client producer and adapters
+  host/     Host Node-main-thread producer and adapters
+  worker/   Worker transport, repositories, realm backends, and CDP endpoint
+```
+
+`client/` 与 `host/` 拥有相同的相对目录和文件名。共同角色包括 plugin entry、bridge lifecycle 与 RPC、Cordis 和 network inspection，以及面向 CDP 的 Runtime、Console、Debugger、Sources、Profiler 和 HeapProfiler adapter。支持程度可以不同：不可用的操作仍保留在对应的镜像模块中，并返回共享的 capability-unavailable 或类型化 unsupported 结果。镜像结构统一的是能力实现位置，而不是宣称两个引擎支持相同功能。
+
+Worker 侧 realm adapter 在 `worker/realms/client/` 与 `worker/realms/host/` 下遵守相同规则。这些 adapter 通过共享的面向 CDP backend 接口规范化 Client 模拟行为与 Node inspector 行为。它们不拥有 Chrome wire message 或连接局部的 CDP 标识符。
+
+## Execution ownership
+
+`client/` 负责 page realm observation、Client object handle、浏览器求值、浏览器 Console interception、Client source publication 以及到 Worker 的直接鉴权 bridge。它可以使用浏览器 API，但不能导入 Node 或 Worker 实现模块。
+
+`host/` 负责 Node 主线程上的 Cordis plugin composition、Worker 启动与 dispose、Host object observation、fetch capture、Node inspector notification forwarding，以及 Worker bridge 的 Host 一侧。它可以使用 Node API，但不构造 Chrome CDP response。
+
+`worker/bridge/` 负责 source admission、transport endpoint、connection generation、frame dispatch、correlation，以及 source producer 与 Worker consumer 之间的路由。`worker/inspection/` 负责保留的 Cordis 与 network observation，以及不依赖 transport 的 query。`worker/realms/` 负责规范化的 Host 与 Client runtime backend。`worker/cdp/` 负责 HTTP discovery、DevTools session、Chrome method dispatch、domain enable 状态与所有连接局部的 Chrome 标识符。
+
+Worker 继续作为唯一的 Chrome CDP wire 与状态 owner。Client 代码模拟共享 backend operation，而不是模拟 CDP wire。Host 代码把支持的 backend operation 委托给 Node inspector，但 Node protocol 标识符在 Worker Host realm 内转换后才进入公共 domain projection。
+
+## Data and identifier ownership
+
+`shared/cordis/` 包含与 CDP 无关的语义模型、不可变 snapshot、collection 与 observation、realm-local object registration、projection 与 reader interface。`model.ts` 不包含 transport handle 或 CDP 标识符。`snapshot.ts` 可以携带 realm-local opaque object reference，因为实时对象查询需要该路由信息，但消费方可以在 projection 中移除它。
+
+`shared/network/` 包含 fetch 与 network observation、采集 body 表示及 header normalization。这些记录描述已观测活动，不包含 CDP request id 或 domain enable 状态。
+
+`shared/cdp/` 包含 realm capability、Runtime、Console、Debugger、Sources、Profiler、HeapProfiler 的规范化 backend 接口和值，以及类型化 unsupported 结果。这些接口中的 backend handle 是不透明且由 realm 持有的。它们不是 Chrome `RemoteObjectId`、`ExecutionContextId`、`ScriptId` 或 `CallFrameId`。
+
+`shared/bridge/` 包含带版本的内部 carrier：source 与 generation 标识符、envelope、codec、validation、有限 publication、RPC correlation、dispatch interface 及分领域的 message union。其 message 模块可以传输 Cordis snapshot、network observation、Console event、Runtime operation、source read、debugger operation 与语义 query，但不会把这些值转换成 CDP message。
+
+`worker/cdp/ids.ts` 是 Chrome 连接局部标识符的唯一 owner，包括 `RemoteObjectId`、`ExecutionContextId`、`ScriptId`、`NodeId` 与 `CallFrameId`。Worker domain session 分配并释放这些 id，把它们映射到 realm backend handle 或 inspection record。source、generation、sequence、request、Cordis Fiber uid、realm object reference、backend handle 与 Chrome id 必须保持为不同类型，因为它们的 owner 和生命周期不同。
+
+## Dependency rules
+
+领域模块 `shared/cordis/`、`shared/network/` 与 `shared/cdp/` 不导入 `shared/bridge/` 或任何执行环境专属目录。`shared/bridge/` 在定义内部 message 时可以导入这些领域类型。`shared/` 下的任何模块都不导入 Node-only 或 browser-only API。
+
+顶层 `client/` 与 `host/` 可以导入 `shared/`，但不能互相导入，也不能导入 `worker/`。等价角色使用等价的共享接口。环境专属 transport 与 engine 行为保留在对应镜像实现文件中，不进入带条件分支的共享实现。
+
+`worker/realms/` 与 `worker/inspection/` 可以导入共享接口，但不导入 `worker/cdp/`；规范化 backend result 和已存 observation 不能包含 Chrome connection state。`worker/cdp/` 可以消费 realm 与 inspection interface 来生成 CDP projection。`worker/bridge/` 路由共享 message 并调用 Worker service，但不成为 Cordis、network、Runtime 或 Chrome 状态的 owner。
+
+本能力继续保留在同一个 `@deepseek-ai/dsh-experimental-inspector` 包中，并使用显式 Client 与 Host compiler face。目录分隔是执行与依赖规则，不是拆包方案。
+
+## Verification
+
+- 每个运行时实现都通过 `shared/`、`client/`、`host/` 或 `worker/` 拥有明确的执行 owner；只有仓库要求的 package 与 invariant 转发入口留在源码根目录。
+- 顶层 Client/Host 树与 Worker Client/Host realm 树分别拥有相同的相对实现路径；不同能力支持使用显式类型表示。
+- Cordis 与 network reader 无需导入 debugger、source、transport 或 CDP session 模块即可使用。
+- 内部 message 包含 source 层 identity 与已验证领域值，但不包含 Chrome 连接局部 id。
+- 规范化 realm backend interface 同时支持 Host 委托与 Client 模拟，且两种实现都不构造 Chrome CDP message。
+- 只有 Worker CDP 模块分配 Chrome id，并持有 DevTools 连接的 enable、object、script、node 与 call-frame 状态。
+- Host Runtime 与 debugging、Client Runtime 与 Console、Network capture、Cordis Elements projection、断联保留与语义 query 行为均有聚焦测试覆盖。
+- compiler face、import check 与结构测试能够拒绝环境泄漏和 Client/Host 镜像漂移。
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**所有文件都按功能领域组织。** 拒绝，因为一个 Runtime 或 Cordis 功能会跨越三个可用 API 不同的环境。只有功能信息的路径会隐藏执行限制，也让 browser 到 Node 的意外导入难以审查。
+
+**把 Worker Client 与 Host adapter 放入顶层 `client/` 和 `host/`。** 拒绝，因为这些 adapter 实际运行在 Worker 中，持有的资源也不同于 page 与 Node 主线程 producer。目录名应先回答代码在哪里运行，再回答它代表哪个远端 realm。
+
+**Client 与 Host 目录只保留当前支持的文件。** 拒绝，因为不对称目录会隐藏缺失能力决策，并允许等价路由角色形成无关接口。显式 unsupported 实现既保证穷尽演进，也不虚构已支持行为。
+
+**保留一个共享 protocol 目录。** 拒绝，因为内部 carrier identity、Cordis 语义数据、规范化 Runtime value 与 Chrome wire identifier 的消费方和生命周期不同。单一目录会诱导领域模型依赖 transport 和 CDP presentation。
+
+**把 Client、Host、protocol 与 Worker 拆成多个包。** 实验阶段拒绝。部署单元仍是一个 Client/Host Cordis plugin；包边界会增加构建和发布协作，却不能改善所需的执行环境分隔。
+
+## Consequences
+
+严格镜像会为不支持的能力增加小型 adapter 文件。这些文件是两个实现之间有意保留的兼容点，但必须保持轻薄，也不能制造虚假行为。
+
+即使只移动类型而不改变行为，也可能暴露隐藏的依赖环，尤其是 Runtime object annotation 访问 Cordis repository 的位置。依赖规则要求通过共享接口反转依赖，不能临时从较低层模块反向导入。
+
+如果不加约束地添加规范化类型，`shared/cdp/` 可能变成第二份 Chrome protocol。只有两个 realm 实现或公共 Worker projector 会消费的类型才属于这里；Chrome session bookkeeping 与 wire-only field 保留在 `worker/cdp/`。
+
+显式 Client/Host compiler face 与聚焦行为测试增加了维护工作，但会持续暴露环境泄漏和镜像结构漂移。

+# Agent Note: Inspector development mount
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-08-27-inspector-development-mount.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+`@deepseek-ai/dsh-experimental-inspector` is a private package no published dsh installation carries, yet development launches need to mount it into the shipped Web composition on demand. A row in a shipped bundle patch cannot express this: `verify-cordis-config` requires every named row of a bundle patch to resolve from that bundle's own `dependencies` — disabled rows included — and a published manifest must not depend on an unpublished package.
+
+## Decision
+
+The inspector package owns a development overlay, `packages/experimental/inspector/cordis.patch.yml`, holding a single `insert` of the `experimental-inspector` row. A launch selects it through the generic overlay flag; `pnpm run demo:inspector` is the shorthand for `pnpm dsh web --patch ./packages/experimental/inspector/cordis.patch.yml`.
+
+The overlay contributes only the row; the row's module resolves from the profile plane at entry import:
+
+- A source launch (`pnpm dsh`, tsx) resolves the workspace package through the tsconfig `paths` facade and needs no installation.
+- A built launch (`node apps/cli/lib/bin.js`) needs the package importable from the profile first: `dsh plugin --profile web add link:<absolute package path>`, once per profile. `link:` keeps dependency resolution inside the real package directory; `file:` re-installs the package's `workspace:^` dependencies in the profile and fails with `ERR_PNPM_WORKSPACE_PKG_NOT_FOUND`.
+
+A launch whose profile cannot import the package fails loud at entry import (`Cannot find package '@deepseek-ai/dsh-experimental-inspector' imported from <profile dir>`); nothing is skipped silently.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Published packages carry no trace of the inspector: no manifest entry, no composition row, no launcher flag. Mounting stays a per-launch choice — the same service without the overlay never loads the package — and every layer the launch composes is declared in a config file. The cost is launch-mode asymmetry: a built launch needs the one-time profile `link:` install, and the overlay must be named on every invocation, which `pnpm run demo:inspector` absorbs for the common case.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- A `disabled: !!js` row in the shipped web-app patch: the dependency gate and npm publication both force the private package into the published manifest.
+- A `--inspector` launcher flag mounting the package as an extra bundle layer: the launcher owns neither app flags nor plugin package names.
+- An optional `peerDependencies` entry on `dsh-web-app` plus a dynamic `ctx.loader.create` from its glue plugin: it writes a never-published name into a published manifest and mounts a row no config layer declares.

+# Agent Note：Inspector 开发挂载
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-08-27-inspector-development-mount.md) | 中文
+
+## Problem
+
+`@deepseek-ai/dsh-experimental-inspector` 是任何已发布 dsh 安装都不携带的 private 包，但开发启动需要按需把它挂进随货 Web 组合。随货 bundle patch 里的一行表达不了这件事：`verify-cordis-config` 要求 bundle patch 中每个具名行都能从该 bundle 自己的 `dependencies` 解析——disabled 行也不豁免——而已发布的 manifest 不得依赖未发布的包。
+
+## Decision
+
+inspector 包自有一份开发 overlay，`packages/experimental/inspector/cordis.patch.yml`，只含一个 `insert` 的 `experimental-inspector` 行。启动通过通用 overlay flag 选它；`pnpm run demo:inspector` 是 `pnpm dsh web --patch ./packages/experimental/inspector/cordis.patch.yml` 的简写。
+
+overlay 只贡献这一行；行的模块在 entry import 时从 profile 平面解析：
+
+- 源码启动（`pnpm dsh`，tsx）经 tsconfig `paths` 门面解析 workspace 包，无需任何安装。
+- built 启动（`node apps/cli/lib/bin.js`）需先让包可从 profile import：`dsh plugin --profile web add link:<包目录绝对路径>`，每个 profile 一次。`link:` 让依赖解析留在真实包目录内；`file:` 会在 profile 里重装该包的 `workspace:^` 依赖并以 `ERR_PNPM_WORKSPACE_PKG_NOT_FOUND` 失败。
+
+profile 无法 import 该包的启动会在 entry import 处响亮失败（`Cannot find package '@deepseek-ai/dsh-experimental-inspector' imported from <profile dir>`）；不存在静默跳过。
+
+## Consequences
+
+已发布的包不携带 inspector 的任何痕迹：没有 manifest 条目、没有组合行、没有 launcher flag。挂载保持按次启动选择——不带 overlay 的同一服务永远不会加载该包——且启动组合的每一层都由 config 文件声明。代价是启动方式不对称：built 启动需要一次性 profile `link:` 安装，且每次调用都要点名 overlay，常见场景由 `pnpm run demo:inspector` 吸收。
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- 随货 web-app patch 里放 `disabled: !!js` 行：依赖门禁与 npm 发布都会把 private 包逼进已发布 manifest。
+- `--inspector` launcher flag 把包挂成额外 bundle 层：launcher 既不拥有 app flag 也不拥有插件包名。
+- `dsh-web-app` 上加 optional `peerDependencies` 并由其 glue 插件动态 `ctx.loader.create`：向已发布 manifest 写入永不发布的名字，且挂载的行不在任何 config 层声明。

+# Agent Note: Stable Turn-process ordering
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-08-26-stable-turn-process-order.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+Turn-process eligibility changes as Assistant output streams, becomes a final answer, or is invalidated by a Tool call, Retry, or later Step. Ordering existing Chat Nodes from that mutable range moved the initial System prompt and pre-User Context across the opening User, so one logical row appeared at different transcript positions during a Turn.
+
+## Decision
+
+Existing Chat Nodes keep one presentation order throughout a page lifetime. Their positions depend on durable anchors, node kinds, and the opening human input, never on the mutable process start or answer boundary. Dependency replay after loading older history retains an already projected System prompt's anchor. A newly projected process control may be inserted between existing rows, while completion, Retry, later Steps, pagination completion, and manual disclosure only change visibility or add new evidence.
+
+System prompt is independent of Turn Process: the initial prompt remains visible above the opening User and never receives process-member or process-hidden state. A later prompt first projected from a partial window retains that position when earlier request history loads. Context injection remains process content. When a Context or another potential process row has an event anchor before the opening User, Chat places it after that User from its first projection; once available, the process control occupies the stable position between the User and those rows. Without opening human input, the control stays before the earliest process candidate from its first appearance.
+
+The existing [Turn-process folding decision](../feature/2026-08-14-web-turn-process-folding.md) continues to own membership, completion, persistence, focus, and pagination behavior; this note supersedes only its earlier decision to fold System prompt and to defer pre-User process ordering until a mutable range included those rows.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Keep System prompt inside Process but preserve its original position.** Rejected because a disclosure below the opening User would control content above itself, and collapsing would remove the request-wide instruction that visually frames that User message.
+
+**Exempt only System prompt.** Rejected because pre-User Context could still move when answer qualification changed, preserving the same class of visual discontinuity.
+
+**Reparent process rows under the disclosure.** Rejected because moving keyed rows across React parents remounts stateful renderers.
+
+## Consequences
+
+The stable first-Turn presentation is `System prompt → User → Process → Context and other process rows → final Assistant`. Pre-User injected Context can therefore differ from raw event order, but it uses that semantic position from its first render. Tests cover the initial state, process appearance, completion collapse, manual expansion, and content-only answer-boundary changes.

+# Agent Note: 稳定的轮次过程排序
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-08-26-stable-turn-process-order.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+Assistant 输出流式生成、成为最终正文，或因工具调用、Retry、后续步骤而失去正文资格时，轮次过程范围会变化。若既有 Chat Node 的排序依赖这段可变范围，首轮系统提示词和位于 User 之前的上下文会跨过开场 User，导致同一个逻辑行在轮次期间出现在不同位置。
+
+## 决策
+
+既有 Chat Node 在同一页面生命周期内保持同一展示顺序。其位置只依赖持久锚点、节点种类和开场人工输入，不依赖可变的过程起点或正文边界。加载更早历史触发依赖重放时，已经投影出的系统提示词保留原有锚点。新投影出的过程控件可以插入既有行之间；完成状态、Retry、后续步骤、分页完成与手动展开只改变可见性或增加新证据。
+
+系统提示词独立于轮次过程：初始提示词始终显示在开场 User 上方，并且不会获得过程成员或过程隐藏状态。后续提示词若首次从不完整历史窗口投影，加载更早的请求历史后仍保留该位置。上下文注入仍属于过程内容。若上下文或其它潜在过程行的事件锚点早于开场 User，Chat 从首次投影起就将其展示在该 User 之后；过程控件出现后占据 User 与这些过程行之间的稳定位置。没有开场人工输入时，控件从首次出现起就位于最早的过程候选之前。
+
+现有的[轮次过程折叠决策](../feature/2026-08-14-web-turn-process-folding.zh.md)继续负责成员关系、完成状态、持久化、焦点与分页行为；本记录仅取代其中“折叠系统提示词”以及“等可变范围纳入行后才调整 User 前过程顺序”的旧决定。
+
+## 曾考虑的替代方案
+
+**让系统提示词继续属于 Process，但保留原位置。** 不采用：位于开场 User 下方的 disclosure 会控制自身上方的内容，而且收起后会隐藏用于界定该 User 请求的整段指令。
+
+**只排除系统提示词。** 不采用：位于 User 之前的上下文仍会随正文资格变化而移动，保留了同类视觉跳动。
+
+**把过程行重新挂接到 disclosure 下。** 不采用：跨 React 父节点移动 keyed 行会重挂载有状态 renderer。
+
+## 后果
+
+稳定的首轮展示顺序为「系统提示词 → User → Process → 上下文及其它过程行 → 最终 Assistant」。因此，位于 User 之前的注入上下文展示顺序可能不同于原始事件顺序，但从首次渲染起保持不变。测试覆盖初始状态、过程出现、完成后默认收起、手动展开与仅正文边界变化的场景。

+# Agent Note: Web Turn process folding
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-08-14-web-turn-process-folding.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+A model Turn can expose System prompt, Context injection, reasoning, several Assistant replies, Tool calls, and Retry rows before its final answer. Keeping that whole trajectory at full height obscures the answer, while moving independent Chat Nodes under a parent disclosure would remount stateful Tool renderers and disturb chronological evidence. The compact view must hide completed process work without hiding the only evidence available while a Turn is still thinking, using a Tool, retrying, or ending without an answer.
+
+## Decision
+
+The Host-backed `ui-chat.transcriptView` preference selects `normal` or `compact` and defaults to `compact`. Normal leaves every process row visible and renders no Turn-process control. Compact applies the disclosure rules below. Switching modes changes wrapper visibility without reparenting or unmounting Chat Node renderers, and the preference remains outside the Session log.
+
+In Compact mode, a Turn remains fully expanded while it is open. At `turn/end`, its latest Step becomes a final-answer boundary only when it contains user-facing Assistant reply content—non-blank text, an image, or an unknown visible block—and contains no Tool-call block. The answer remains visible. Context injection, reasoning, earlier Assistant material, Tool rows, and Retry rows before that boundary form one process disclosure. System prompt, User, and steering rows remain independent and never join the group. Completed, aborted, interrupted, failed, and max-token Turns use the same terminal projection; error, max-token, and turn-tail rows remain outside the group. A closed Turn with no final answer keeps all process evidence visible.
+
+The Turn-scoped `turn-process` Definition derives the first model or Tool evidence, the latest Step's finalized answer boundary, reply-bearing durable Assistant-message count before that answer, and Tool-call counts from log events plus Step Location data. Shipped subagent delegation names (`subagent` and `subagent_*`) increment the subagent count instead of the ordinary Tool-call count, so the categories never overlap. Context injection remains process evidence without incrementing a summary count; System prompt is independent, stays visible, and remains before the opening User. It publishes an encoded scalar so unchanged facts retain value identity during streaming and contributes one stable control Chat Node. The Chat target positions opening User or steering input before process candidates from their first projection, then inserts the synthetic control between that input and the process rows. Without opening human input, the control stays before the earliest process candidate from its first appearance. Answer finalization, Retry, later Steps, completion, and manual expansion therefore change visibility without changing existing nodes' relative order, as specified by [stable Turn-process ordering](../bug-fix/2026-08-26-stable-turn-process-order.md). Each process member classifies itself from the Turn specification. Only the control and answer Seats subscribe to their Turn's content-revisioned Location key list and derive external process evidence plus independent-input spacing from that bounded list, so data-only updates refresh layout without rebuilding the global order. Turn status and loaded-window completeness then gate foldability: an open Turn never folds, and a partial history exposes neither the control nor hidden members. The control Node exists from the first process evidence onward but its Seat remains hidden until the closed Turn has a final answer and complete history. Once visible, it omits every zero-valued segment, uses `Thought for a while` when all three counts are zero, and places a full-width divider below the summary.
+
+The Chat target binds the durable transcript preference through the shared settings scope and keeps per-Turn interaction state in its session-scoped Chat store. `ChatView` renders each business Node through one stable keyed `ChatNodeSeat`; adding the process control does not reorder existing keys, and Compact mode changes the Seat wrapper's `hidden` attribute without reparenting or unmounting a Tool, Assistant, Context, or Retry renderer. The Seat passes the same process state through `ChatNodeOwnerProps`, so the final Assistant renderer hides reasoning blocks from its own Step while leaving reply blocks visible; wrapper visibility and inline reasoning therefore share one UI-state source.
+
+Closed process members use `hidden="until-found"`. A `beforematch` event on any member opens the shared group in supporting browsers. The Chat column applies spacing only between visible siblings because hidden-until-found members retain searchable zero-height boxes; the control's divider spans the content width, and a closed process control uses an 8px answer gap only when no independent input intervenes, while expansion restores the ordinary 16px row spacing. In Compact mode, the non-persisted session store contains only manually expanded Turn-and-answer-Step generations; absence means collapsed, and a different answer generation starts collapsed. Every eligible closed Turn therefore uses the same default regardless of whether it completed live, appeared after Load earlier, or closed while the reader was away from the tail. This can reflow content above the reader when a Turn closes or history becomes complete. An automatic collapse that would hide a focused process descendant opens the shared group instead, leaving keyboard focus in place; a manual close focuses the process control before hiding its members. If Load earlier is present, every process remains expanded and its control stays hidden; once history is complete, eligible groups immediately use the collapsed default. A fresh page load restores the durable Normal or Compact preference; per-Turn manual expansion survives only view remounts within the same page lifetime. Switching to Normal reveals every process row, while switching back to Compact reapplies the page-lifetime manual overrides over the collapsed default.
+
+This presentation composes with [Conversation Node assembly](../architecture/2026-08-09-client-conversation-node-assembly.md): Definitions own deterministic process facts, the Seat owns shared interaction state, and keyed renderers remain independent. The [log-ordered human transcript](../bug-fix/2026-07-30-web-transcript-log-ordered-projection.md) remains complete because folding changes no session event or model input.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Fold only earlier Assistant replies.** Rejected because a common `Think → Tool → answer` Turn has only one reply-bearing Step and would expose no compact control, leaving the user's requested process content at full height.
+
+**Keep Context injection outside the process.** Rejected because injected runtime context is part of the pre-answer trajectory rather than a new human instruction. Its own disclosure and label remain intact when the process is expanded. System prompt is kept outside because moving or hiding the request-wide instruction changes the visible frame around the opening User.
+
+**Reparent the whole Turn under one summary row.** Rejected because eligibility changes while the Turn runs, and moving existing Chat Nodes across React parents remounts stateful Tool views. Stable Seats provide one disclosure without moving their children.
+
+**Store manual expansion in Turn Location data.** Rejected because Location data is a deterministic projection of session events and has no browser-action write path. UI gestures belong to a declared, non-persisted store.
+
+**Reuse `DisclosureRow` and unmount closed members.** Rejected because browser find could not discover their text and reopening would reconstruct stateful renderer subtrees.
+
+**Fold a live answer candidate before `turn/end`.** Rejected because streamed text can still be followed by a Tool call, Retry, or later thinking Step. Waiting for the terminal boundary prevents automatic collapse–expand–collapse cycles and the resulting layout jumps.
+
+**Defer a newly eligible collapse while the reader is away from the tail.** Rejected because it requires transient completion tracking and deferred state, and makes identical closed Turns start in different states depending on how they entered the viewport. Closed Turns use one deterministic default; scroll anchoring preserves position, while the focus guard preserves an active interaction.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Compact mode keeps the final answer prominent even when the Turn contains only injected Context, reasoning, or Tools before it, while expansion restores every process row in original order. Normal mode preserves the complete transcript without Turn-level controls. Hidden wrappers and Markdown subtrees remain mounted, trading browser memory for stable Tool state, manual expansion across view remounts, and browser-find recovery. Ordinary cross-message selection excludes closed members only in Compact mode; users expand the group before selecting them or choose Normal. Browsers without `hidden="until-found"` and `beforematch` retain manual disclosure but cannot reveal closed process text through page search. Unit coverage pins finalized answer boundaries, Retry and interruption, shared cross-kind expansion, final-Step reasoning, mode switching, manual expansion, immediate history-completion folding, off-tail folding, focus preservation, and content-only final-page revisions; assembled browser snapshots pin running, aborted, completed, paged-history, and persisted-setting trajectories.

+# Agent Note: Web 轮次过程折叠
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-08-14-web-turn-process-folding.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+一个模型轮次可能会在最终正文之前展示系统提示词、上下文注入、推理、多条 Assistant 回复、工具调用与重试行。完整展示整条轨迹会淹没正文，而把独立 Chat Node 移入一个父级 disclosure 会重挂载有状态的工具 renderer，并扰乱按时间排列的证据。紧凑视图必须收起已完成的过程工作，同时在轮次仍处于推理、使用工具、重试或没有正文便结束时，保留当下唯一可用的证据。
+
+## 决策
+
+由 Host 支撑的 `ui-chat.transcriptView` 偏好提供 `normal` 与 `compact` 两种模式，默认值为 `compact`。Normal 保持所有过程行可见且不渲染轮次过程控件；Compact 应用下述 disclosure 规则。切换模式只改变 wrapper 可见性，不会重新挂接或卸载 Chat Node renderer；该偏好不写入 Session log。
+
+在 Compact 模式下，轮次打开期间始终完整展开。到 `turn/end` 时，只有当最近步骤包含面向用户的 Assistant 回复内容——非空文本、图片或未知可见块——并且不含工具调用块时，该步骤才成为最终正文边界。正文保持可见。边界之前的上下文注入、推理、较早 Assistant 内容、工具行与重试行统一进入一条过程 disclosure。系统提示词、用户消息与 steering 消息保持独立，绝不加入过程组。已完成、已取消、已中断、失败和达到最大 token 的轮次使用同一终态投影；错误、最大 token 与 turn-tail 行留在过程组外。关闭时没有最终正文的轮次会保留全部过程证据。
+
+轮次作用域的 `turn-process` Definition 根据日志事件与步骤 Location data 推导首条模型或工具证据、最近步骤的已定稿正文边界、该正文之前带回复内容的持久 Assistant 消息数和工具调用计数。随产品交付的 subagent 委派名称（`subagent` 与 `subagent_*`）只增加 subagent 计数，不增加普通工具调用计数，因此两类不会重叠。上下文注入仍是过程证据但不增加摘要计数；系统提示词保持独立、持续可见，并始终位于开场 User 上方。它发布编码后的标量，使未变化的事实在流式期间保持值相等，并贡献一个稳定控制 Chat Node。Chat target 从首次投影起就把开场 User 或 steering 输入放在过程候选之前，再把合成控制行插入该输入与过程行之间。没有开场人工输入时，控制行从首次出现起就位于最早的过程候选之前。因此正文定稿、Retry、后续步骤、完成状态与手动展开只改变可见性，不改变既有节点的相对顺序，具体规则由[稳定的轮次过程排序](../bug-fix/2026-08-26-stable-turn-process-order.zh.md)说明。每个过程成员根据轮次规格判断自身归属。只有控制 Seat 与正文 Seat 订阅所属轮次在内容变化时更新的 Location key 列表，并在这份受限列表内推导外部过程证据和独立输入间距，因此纯数据更新会刷新布局，而不必重建全局顺序。轮次状态与已加载窗口是否完整随后共同决定能否折叠：打开中的轮次绝不折叠，历史不完整时也既不显示控件又不隐藏成员。控制 Node 从首条过程证据出现起一直存在，但其 Seat 会保持隐藏，直至关闭的轮次拥有最终正文且历史完整；显示后，它会省略每个值为 0 的分段，三项全为 0 时使用「已思考」（英文为 `Thought for a while`），并在摘要下方绘制通栏分隔线。
+
+Chat target 通过共享 settings scope 绑定持久化的 transcript 偏好，并把逐轮交互状态保存在会话作用域的 Chat store 中。`ChatView` 通过稳定的 keyed `ChatNodeSeat` 直接渲染每个业务 Node；加入过程控件不会重排既有 key，Compact 模式只改变 Seat wrapper 的 `hidden` 属性，不会重新挂接或卸载工具、Assistant、上下文或重试 renderer。Seat 通过 `ChatNodeOwnerProps` 传递同一份过程状态，因此最终 Assistant renderer 会隐藏自身步骤中的推理块，同时保留回复块；wrapper 可见性与行内推理共用一个 UI 状态真源。
+
+收起的过程成员使用 `hidden="until-found"`。在支持该能力的浏览器中，任一成员触发 `beforematch` 都会打开共享过程组。由于 hidden-until-found 成员会保留可搜索的零高度 box，Chat 列只在可见的相邻成员之间设置间距；控件分隔线横跨内容宽度，只有中间没有独立输入时，收起的过程控件才与正文相隔 8px，展开后恢复普通的 16px 行间距。在 Compact 模式下，不持久化的会话 store 只保存用户手动展开的「轮次 + 正文步骤」generation；没有记录即为收起，不同正文 generation 默认收起。因此，每个合格的已关闭轮次都使用相同默认状态，不区分实时完成、在「加载更早」后出现，或在读者离开尾部时结束。这可能在轮次关闭或历史变完整时让读者上方的内容重排。若自动收起会隐藏过程成员中的键盘焦点，则改为打开共享过程组并把焦点留在原处；手动收起会先把焦点移到过程控件，再隐藏成员。存在「加载更早」时，每个过程保持展开且控件隐藏；历史加载完整后，合格过程立即使用默认收起状态。页面重新加载会恢复持久化的 Normal 或 Compact 偏好；逐轮手动展开只在同一页面生命周期内的 view remount 之间保留。切换到 Normal 会显示所有过程行，切回 Compact 时会在默认收起状态上重新应用当前页面生命周期内的手动展开记录。
+
+这项展示与 [Conversation Node 组装](../architecture/2026-08-09-client-conversation-node-assembly.zh.md)共同成立：Definition 持有确定性的过程事实，Seat 持有共享交互状态，keyed renderer 保持独立。[按日志顺序投影的人工 transcript](../bug-fix/2026-07-30-web-transcript-log-ordered-projection.zh.md)保持完整，因为折叠不改变任何会话事件或模型输入。
+
+## 曾考虑的替代方案
+
+**只折叠较早的 Assistant 回复。** 不采用：常见的 `Think → Tool → 正文` 轮次只有一个回复步骤，不会出现紧凑控件，用户要求收起的过程内容仍会完整展开。
+
+**把上下文注入留在过程组外。** 不采用：注入的运行时上下文属于正文之前的轨迹，并不是一条新的人类指令；展开过程后，其自身的 disclosure 与标签仍完整保留。系统提示词则留在过程组外，因为移动或隐藏整次请求使用的指令会改变开场 User 周围的可见框架。
+
+**把整个轮次重新挂接到一条摘要行下。** 不采用：折叠资格会在轮次运行期间变化，而把既有 Chat Node 移过 React 父节点会重挂载有状态工具视图。稳定 Seat 可以提供一个 disclosure，同时不移动其子节点。
+
+**把手动展开状态存入轮次 Location data。** 不采用：Location data 是会话事件的确定性投影，不存在浏览器动作写入路径。UI 手势属于已声明且不持久化的 store。
+
+**复用 `DisclosureRow` 并卸载收起成员。** 不采用：浏览器查找无法发现其文本，重新打开也会重建有状态 renderer 子树。
+
+**在 `turn/end` 前折叠实时正文候选。** 不采用：流式文本后仍可能出现工具调用、重试或后续仅推理步骤。等待终态边界可以避免自动收起—展开—再次收起及其造成的布局跳动。
+
+**读者离开尾部时暂缓刚获得资格的收起。** 不采用：该方案需要瞬时完成检测与 deferred 状态，并使相同的已关闭轮次根据进入视口的路径获得不同初始状态。已关闭轮次统一使用确定性的默认值；滚动锚定负责保持位置，焦点保护负责保留正在进行的交互。
+
+## 后果
+
+Compact 模式会在轮次正文前只有注入上下文、推理或工具时仍突出最终正文，展开后每条过程行按原顺序恢复；Normal 模式则保留完整 transcript 且不展示轮次过程控件。隐藏的 wrapper 与 Markdown 子树保持挂载，用一定浏览器内存换取稳定工具状态、跨视图重挂载的手动展开状态与浏览器查找恢复。只有 Compact 模式下的普通跨消息选择会排除仍收起的成员；用户可以先展开过程组，或切换到 Normal。不支持 `hidden="until-found"` 与 `beforematch` 的浏览器仍可手动展开，却无法通过页内查找揭示收起的过程文本。单元覆盖固定已定稿正文边界、重试与中断、跨 kind 共享展开、最终步骤推理、模式切换、手动展开、历史补全后立即收起、离尾收起、焦点保留与最终分页的纯数据更新；组装后的浏览器快照固定运行中、已取消、已完成、分页历史与持久化设置轨迹。

+## Turn Process Folding
+
+Settings → General exposes a persisted `Normal` / `Compact` conversation-display preference in the `ui-chat` namespace; `Compact` is the default. Normal leaves process rows visible and renders no Turn-process control. In Compact mode, the System prompt remains independently visible before the opening User throughout the Turn. Context injection, reasoning, Assistant material, Tool rows, and Retry rows remain expanded while a Turn is open. At `turn/end`, its latest Step becomes the final-answer boundary only when it contains non-blank text, an image, or an unknown visible block—and no Tool-call block; preceding Context injection, reasoning, earlier Assistant material, Tool rows, and Retry rows then collapse by default. The control reports Turn-wide durable counts for non-subagent Tool calls, reply-bearing Assistant messages before the final answer, and subagent delegation calls; zero-valued segments are omitted, the Tool and subagent figures are mutually exclusive, and neither System prompt nor Context injection contributes a count. When all three counts are zero, the process still folds and the control reads `Thought for a while`. A full-width divider below the summary separates it from the answer or expanded process rows. User and steering messages, System prompt, error, max-token, and turn-tail rows stay outside, and a closed Turn with no final answer keeps all process evidence visible. A newly available process control is inserted without changing the relative order of existing rows: opening human input precedes the control and process rows from their first projection, while System prompt remains above that input. While older history remains available through Load earlier, process controls stay absent and no members are hidden; once history is complete, every eligible closed Turn uses the collapsed default immediately. Stable Chat Node Seats keep every renderer mounted, hidden members add no flow spacing, and a closed control sits 8px above its answer only when no independent input intervenes. Completion collapse does not depend on tail-follow position, so a reader above the tail may see the transcript reflow. An automatic collapse that would hide keyboard focus keeps the group open and leaves focus in place; a manual close focuses the process control before hiding its members. The session-scoped store records only manually expanded Turn-and-answer-Step generations; a different answer generation starts collapsed ([folding decision](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/feature/2026-08-14-web-turn-process-folding.md), [ordering decision](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/bug-fix/2026-08-26-stable-turn-process-order.md)).

+「设置 → 通用设置」提供持久化到 `ui-chat` 命名空间的 `Normal` / `Compact` 对话显示偏好，默认使用 `Compact`。Normal 保持所有过程行可见且不渲染轮次过程控件。Compact 模式下，系统提示词在整个轮次中始终独立显示于开场 User 上方。轮次打开期间，上下文注入、推理、Assistant 内容、工具行与重试行始终展开。到 `turn/end` 时，最后一个步骤只有在包含非空文本、图片或未知可见块且不含工具调用块时才成为最终正文边界；边界之前的上下文注入、推理、较早 Assistant 内容、工具行与重试行随后默认收起。控件展示覆盖整个轮次的非 subagent 工具调用数、最终正文之前带回复内容的 Assistant 消息数和 subagent 委派数；值为 0 的分段省略，工具调用与 subagent 两项互斥，系统提示词与上下文注入都不增加计数。三项全为 0 时过程仍会收起，控件标题显示「已思考」（英文为 `Thought for a while`）。摘要下方的通栏分隔线将其与正文或展开后的过程行隔开。用户与 steering 消息、系统提示词、错误、最大 token 与 turn-tail 行留在过程组外；关闭时没有最终正文的轮次保留全部过程证据。新的过程控件插入时不会改变既有行的相对顺序：开场人工输入从首次投影起便位于控件和过程行之前，系统提示词则始终位于该输入上方。只要仍可通过「加载更早」获取历史，过程控件就不出现，也不会隐藏任何成员；历史加载完整后，每个合格的已关闭轮次立即使用默认收起状态。稳定 Chat Node Seat 会让每个 renderer 保持挂载，隐藏成员不产生消息流间距；只有中间没有独立输入时，收起控件才与正文相隔 8px。完成后的收起不依赖是否跟随尾部，因此正在上方阅读的用户可能看到 transcript 高度变化。若自动收起会隐藏当前键盘焦点，则过程组保持展开且焦点留在原处；手动收起会先把焦点移到过程控件，再隐藏成员。会话作用域 store 只记录用户手动展开的「轮次 + 正文步骤」generation；不同正文 generation 默认收起（[折叠决策](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/feature/2026-08-14-web-turn-process-folding.zh.md)，[排序决策](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/bug-fix/2026-08-26-stable-turn-process-order.zh.md)）。

 Use it when you assemble the browser application: `apps/web`'s Vite entry runs `new AppWebEntry(container).run()` against the mount point, and the boot page carries the user through activation. Ordinary browser callers pass no options. A pre-injected page transport is the default ahead of the `seams` override: when `globalThis.__DSH_TRANSPORT__` carries `loadBundle`, the module stage adopts it as the bundle transport and skips the immediate-tier HTTP prefetch, while explicit `seams` still win (for example jsdom tests, where external `<script>` execution cannot reach the page context).
 
+The shell base styles apply automatic CJK/Latin spacing to ordinary content in supporting browsers. Semantic code and terminal, diff, read, and search output containers retain literal source spacing and column alignment; browsers without `text-autospace` support ignore both declarations.
+
 ### What boot looks like
 
 Boot runs in two stages: the module stage adopts the parser-loaded bootstrap batch, builds the module system from the Host-provided boot graph, and prefetches the `immediately` tier through the shared application-batch URL, which executes once. The plugin stage then activates every graph entry and waits for all of them before handing the marked boot DOM to the UI renderer, which hydrates it and switches to the complete UI.

 组装浏览器应用时使用它：`apps/web` 的 Vite 入口对挂载点运行 `new AppWebEntry(container).run()`，启动页承载用户度过激活过程。普通浏览器调用方不传任何选项。预注入的页面传输是 `seams` 覆盖之前的默认：当 `globalThis.__DSH_TRANSPORT__` 携带 `loadBundle` 时，模块阶段将其采纳为 bundle 传输并跳过 `immediately` 层级的 HTTP 预取，而显式 `seams` 仍然优先（例如外部 `<script>` 执行无法到达页面上下文的 jsdom 测试）。
 
+外壳基础样式会在支持的浏览器中为普通内容自动添加中西文间距。语义化代码以及终端、diff、读取和搜索输出容器会保留源码中的原始间距和列对齐；不支持 `text-autospace` 的浏览器会忽略这两项声明。
+
 ### 启动过程是怎样的
 
 启动分两个阶段：模块阶段接纳 parser 已加载的 bootstrap 批次，从 Host 提供的启动图构建模块系统，并通过只执行一次的共享 application 批次 URL 预取 `immediately` 层级。插件阶段随后激活每个图 entry 并等待全部就绪，之后才把带标记的启动 DOM 交给 UI 渲染器，由它 hydrate 并切换到完整 UI。

 ## Summary
 
-The experimental group contains prototype capabilities that are not part of any official release: they run on the real harness, but their contracts can change and they carry no support promise. The group holds Agent Teams plus the browser-worker runtime and image packer used by preview deployments. Use these packages to try an unreleased capability; they carry no stability promise, and released products must not depend on them.

+## Summary
+
+Use this experimental inspector to inspect one running dsh Host and its browser Clients in Chrome DevTools. It exposes Host and Client Console contexts, Host Sources and debugging, captured Host fetches, and a shared Cordis tree while keeping all CDP state in a Worker.
+
+The package is private and excluded from releases. The Worker never accesses live Cordis objects: the shared Host/Client collector projects them into validated snapshots before transport. Cordis also owns plugin composition, `ctx.inspector` registration, bootstrap injection, and disposal.

+## Runtime layout
+
+The Host plugin starts the Worker and connects a dedicated `MessagePort`. The Client plugin reads the injected `globalThis.__DSH_INSPECTOR__` bootstrap and opens a separate authenticated WebSocket directly to the Worker. Chrome DevTools connects to the Worker's CDP WebSocket. A private `node:inspector.Session` per DevTools connection attaches from the Worker to the Host main thread, so Host Console evaluation, Sources, breakpoints, and resume remain available while Host JavaScript is paused.
+
+The source tree follows those execution environments: `client/` and `host/` provide mirrored adapter entry paths, `worker/` contains only Worker-thread orchestration and Chrome protocol state, and `shared/` contains environment-independent Cordis and network models, normalized realm backend interfaces, and the internal bridge protocol. Worker-side Client and Host adapters are mirrored under `worker/realms/`; a Client adapter in that directory still executes in the Worker.
+
+Host and Client producers send internal observation records rather than CDP messages. Records contain a source generation, sequence, source-clock timestamp, topic, and JSON payload. The Worker validates every process or network frame, owns source state and retention, and translates recognized topics to standard CDP domains.
+
+Client sources declare typed Runtime, Console, and read-only Sources capabilities. `Runtime.enable` publishes the real Host execution context and one synthetic context for every connected Client source. Selecting a Client context routes evaluation, property access, function calls, promise awaiting, and object release to that browser realm. Client Console arguments use the same session-local object table, while `Debugger.enable` publishes the built `lib/client.js` catalog and `Debugger.getScriptSource` reads bounded content chunks. Client-script breakpoints, step, and call frames remain unsupported; target-wide pause and resume control the Host debugger only.
+
+Both plugin faces run the same browser-safe Cordis collector. It converts reachable Context and Fiber objects into a versioned `CordisTreeSnapshot`; the Worker stores that CDP-independent representation and projects each Host or Client source into the Elements panel.
+
+<a id="configuration"></a>
+## Configuration
+
+The Host plugin injects `webServer` and accepts these fields:
+
+| Field | Default | Meaning |
+|---|---:|---|
+| `host` | `127.0.0.1` | Worker endpoint bind address; only loopback is accepted |
+| `port` | `9230` | First Worker endpoint port; occupied ports advance upward, while `0` requests an OS-assigned port |
+| `clientOrigins` | `[]` | Additional exact browser origins accepted by `/ingest`; loopback origins remain accepted |
+| `captureFetch` | `true` | Wrap `globalThis.fetch` and publish every later call |
+| `maxRequestBodyBytes` | 8 MiB | Per-request captured request-body prefix |
+| `maxResponseBodyBytes` | 32 MiB | Per-request captured response-body prefix |
+| `maxBodyChunkBytes` | 48 KiB | Raw bytes carried by one body record before base64 encoding |
+| `maxJournalBytes` | 256 MiB | Worker-retained request and response body bytes |
+| `maxRetainedRequests` | `2000` | Active and completed requests retained by the Worker |
+| `maxSourceFrameBytes` | 128 KiB | Encoded source-frame limit |
+| `maxSourceRecordsPerFrame` | `128` | Records in one source batch |
+| `maxQueuedRecords` | `2048` | Per-producer records waiting for transport |
+| `maxQueuedBytes` | 16 MiB | Per-producer queued encoded bytes |
+| `startupTimeoutMs` | 10 seconds | Worker readiness deadline |
+| `stopTimeoutMs` | 5 seconds | Graceful Worker shutdown deadline before termination |
+| `clientReconnectBaseMs` | 250 ms | First Client reconnect backoff cap |
+| `clientReconnectMaxMs` | 5 seconds | Maximum Client reconnect backoff cap |
+| `clientRuntimeTimeoutMs` | 30 seconds | Deadline for one Worker-to-Client Runtime or Sources command |
+| `queryTimeoutMs` | 10 seconds | Deadline for one non-CDP semantic query |
+| `maxClientRuntimeObjects` | `10000` | Live Client object handles retained per DevTools connection |
+| `maxClientRuntimeProperties` | `2000` | Property descriptors returned by one Client object inspection |
+| `maxClientSourceBytes` | 8 MiB | Maximum encoded bytes read from one Client script or source map |
+| `maxCordisNodes` | `2048` | Context and Fiber nodes admitted from one realm snapshot before truncation |
+| `maxDisconnectedCordisTrees` | `8` | Last disconnected realm trees retained as non-live snapshots |
+
+The generated [configuration catalog](../../../docs/config-catalog.md#deepseek-aidsh-experimental-inspector) is the exhaustive source for accepted fields and their declarations.
+
+The Host logs a `devtools://` URL after the Worker listens. The same Worker serves `/json`, `/json/list`, `/json/version`, the target WebSocket under `/devtools/page/<id>`, and the Client source at `/ingest`.
+
+<a id="observation-api"></a>
+## Observation API
+
+Both plugin faces provide the same service:
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from '@deepseek-ai/cordis'
+import type { InspectorJsonValue } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-experimental-inspector'
+
+declare const ctx: Context
+declare const topic: string
+declare const jsonPayload: InspectorJsonValue
+
+ctx.inspector.publish(topic, jsonPayload)
+await ctx.inspector.cordis.getTree()
+```
+
+Publishing validates lossless JSON and schedules delivery without waiting for the Worker. Each source has a bounded queue. Overflow is reported as a sequence gap and never delays the observed application operation. `cordis.getTree()` reads the Worker's latest detached semantic snapshot without creating a CDP session or enabling Runtime, Debugger, or Sources.
+
+<a id="cordis-tree-inspection"></a>
+## Cordis tree inspection
+
+The Elements document has fixed `<host>` and `<clients>` containers. `<host>` contains the Host root Context; `<clients>` contains one `<client>` per Client source, and each `<client>` contains that realm's root Context. The Cordis root Fiber is omitted. Every other Fiber is a child of `fiber.parent`, owns exactly one Context child for `fiber.ctx`, and carries only `uid="<Cordis Fiber.uid>"`; Context elements have no attributes. Context-only `extend()`, `isolate()`, and `intercept()` layers remain direct Context descendants.
+
+Host and Client publish the same nested `CordisTreeSnapshot` type. Context and Fiber nodes carry opaque object handles for realm-local object lookup; Fiber nodes additionally carry Cordis `uid`. The Worker composes those realm snapshots into one `{ host, clients }` inspection tree. It assigns `BackendNodeId` values per source generation; each DevTools connection assigns its own `NodeId` values; `DOM.resolveNode` asks the owning Host or Client Runtime for a connection-local `RemoteObjectId`. `DOM.requestNode` maps that object id back to the same Elements node. `ctx.inspector.cordis.getTree()` and `DSHInspector.getCordisTree` read the detached consumer-neutral tree without routing handles or CDP ids.
+
+Node delivery is depth-limited per DevTools connection: `DOM.getDocument` serves three document levels when the caller omits `depth`, withheld levels advertise `childNodeCount`, and expansion fetches them through `DOM.requestChildNodes` (`depth: -1` for a whole subtree). NodeIds leaving through `DOM.performSearch`, `DOM.requestNode`, or `DOM.pushNodesByBackendIdsToFrontend` first push the not-yet-sent ancestor levels as `DOM.setChildNodes` events.
+
+Sources publish complete snapshots, while the Worker compares stable backend node identities before notifying DevTools. Unchanged snapshots emit no DOM event; additions, removals, and attribute changes use node-level CDP events, inserted-node payloads withhold their subtree, and sibling reordering replaces only that parent's children. Existing `NodeId` values and unaffected Elements expansion remain stable.
+
+When a Client disconnects, its Console execution context and live object ids are destroyed immediately. With disconnected-tree retention enabled, Elements keeps the last tree unchanged while connection state remains in the inspection model rather than becoming an unreviewed DOM attribute. Reconnection keeps the logical source id, creates a new synthetic CDP context id for the new transport generation, and replaces the stale tree after its complete snapshot arrives. The Worker retains at most `maxDisconnectedCordisTrees` such snapshots; zero removes them immediately.
+
+<a id="host-fetch-capture"></a>
+## Host fetch capture
+
+Fetch capture is on by default and records the complete URL, all request and response headers, request body, response body, status, timing, errors, and cancellation. It does not redact credentials, cookies, query values, or payloads. Body capture reads clones; the caller receives the original Response as soon as the original fetch resolves.
+
+The configured body limits bound retention rather than select fields: capture keeps the prefix and marks the result truncated. `Network.getRequestPostData` and `Network.getResponseBody` read the Worker's retained bytes. `Network.streamResourceContent` returns the buffered prefix and adds later response bytes to `Network.dataReceived` for that DevTools connection, which drives live Response and EventStream views. Direct Undici Client/Dispatcher calls and fetch references retained before plugin activation are outside this observer.
+
+After response headers arrive, a caller-side abort can stop the observer's clone; captured bytes remain available through `Network.getResponseBody`, capture metadata records the error and truncation, and CDP emits `Network.loadingFinished` because fetch returned a Response. A fetch rejection before response headers emits `Network.loadingFailed`, with `canceled: true` for an abort.
+
+<a id="security"></a>
+## Security
+
+The CDP target grants arbitrary code execution in both Host and connected Client realms through `Runtime.evaluate`; Host Debugger operations provide additional control. Full fetch capture includes secrets. The Worker therefore accepts only a `127.0.0.1` bind address. Client ingest additionally requires a random WebSocket subprotocol token injected by the Host and rejects non-loopback origins unless explicitly configured. The CDP socket itself has no token; loopback binding is its only access control.
+
+<a id="model-experience"></a>
+## Model Experience
+
+None, as this developer-only inspector observes runtime activity without changing model requests.
+
+#### KV Cache effect
+
+None; this package neither assembles nor sends a provider request.
+
+## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
+
+<a id="known-limitations-and-deferred-work"></a>
+
+- **Client active debugging is unsupported** — Console events, Runtime evaluation, RemoteObject access, and read-only `lib/client.js` Sources work. Client-script debugger requests return explicit unsupported errors; target-wide pause and resume control the Host only.
+- **Client Sources expose the Inspector bundle only** — other page scripts are not cataloged by this package.
+- **Client evaluation uses page JavaScript** — page Content Security Policy can block dynamic evaluation, and the synthetic context does not provide DevTools command-line helpers or native REPL declaration semantics.
+- **Fetch interception covers `globalThis.fetch`** — direct Undici APIs and fetch references retained before activation are not observed.
+- **Body cloning has cost** — full capture tees request and response streams up to the configured limits and can increase memory and I/O pressure. The retained-body limit does not include buffering inside the stream tee, including an oversized source chunk or data queued for a slower application reader.
+- **No automatic Worker restart** — an unexpected Worker exit fails the current Inspector instance; lifecycle recovery belongs to a later change.

+## 概述
+
+使用这个实验性 Inspector，可以在 Chrome DevTools 中检查一个运行中的 dsh Host 及其浏览器 Client。它提供 Host 与 Client Console context、Host Sources 与调试、Host fetch 采集和共享 Cordis 树，并让 Worker 独占全部 CDP 状态。
+
+本包为私有包，不进入正式发布。Worker 不访问实时 Cordis 对象；共享 Host/Client collector 会在传输前把它们投影成已验证 snapshot。Cordis 还负责插件组合、注册 `ctx.inspector`、注入 bootstrap 和资源释放。

+## 运行时布局
+
+Host 插件启动 Worker 并连接专用 `MessagePort`。Client 插件读取注入的 `globalThis.__DSH_INSPECTOR__` bootstrap，直接向 Worker 打开一条独立、带鉴权的 WebSocket。Chrome DevTools 连接 Worker 的 CDP WebSocket。每条 DevTools 连接在 Worker 中独占一个连接 Host 主线程的 `node:inspector.Session`，因此 Host JavaScript 暂停时，Host Console 求值、Sources、断点和 resume 仍然可用。
+
+源码树遵循这些执行环境：`client/` 与 `host/` 提供镜像的 adapter entry path，`worker/` 只包含 Worker thread orchestration 与 Chrome protocol 状态，`shared/` 包含与环境无关的 Cordis 和 network model、规范化 realm backend interface 及内部 bridge protocol。Worker 侧 Client 与 Host adapter 镜像放在 `worker/realms/` 下；其中的 Client adapter 仍然在 Worker 中执行。
+
+Host 与 Client producer 发送内部观测记录，不发送 CDP 消息。记录包含 source generation、sequence、source 时钟时间、topic 和 JSON payload。Worker 验证每个进程或网络帧，独占 source 状态与保留历史，并把已识别 topic 转换成标准 CDP domain。
+
+Client source 声明类型化 Runtime、Console 和只读 Sources 能力。`Runtime.enable` 发布真实 Host execution context，并为每个已连接的 Client source 发布一个 synthetic context。选择 Client context 后，求值、属性读取、函数调用、Promise await 和对象释放都会路由到该浏览器 realm。Client Console argument 使用同一份 session-local object table；`Debugger.enable` 发布构建后的 `lib/client.js` catalog，`Debugger.getScriptSource` 读取有界 content chunk。Client script 断点、step 和 call frame 仍不支持；target-wide pause 与 resume 只控制 Host debugger。
+
+两个插件面运行同一份浏览器安全 Cordis collector。它把可达 Context 与 Fiber 对象转换成有版本的 `CordisTreeSnapshot`；Worker 存储这份与 CDP 无关的表示，并把每个 Host 或 Client source 投影到 Elements 面板。
+
+<a id="configuration"></a>
+## 配置
+
+Host 插件注入 `webServer`，接受以下字段：
+
+| 字段 | 默认值 | 含义 |
+|---|---:|---|
+| `host` | `127.0.0.1` | Worker endpoint 监听地址；只接受 loopback |
+| `port` | `9230` | Worker endpoint 起始端口；端口占用时向上递增，`0` 表示由操作系统分配 |

+
+生成的[配置目录](../../../docs/config-catalog.zh.md#deepseek-aidsh-experimental-inspector)是全部已接受字段及其声明的详尽来源。
+
+Worker 监听后，Host 会记录一个 `devtools://` URL。同一个 Worker 提供 `/json`、`/json/list`、`/json/version`、`/devtools/page/<id>` target WebSocket 和 `/ingest` Client source。
+
+<a id="observation-api"></a>
+## 观测 API
+
+两个插件面都提供同一个服务：
+
+```ts
+import type { Context } from '@deepseek-ai/cordis'
+import type { InspectorJsonValue } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-experimental-inspector'
+
+declare const ctx: Context
+declare const topic: string
+declare const jsonPayload: InspectorJsonValue
+
+ctx.inspector.publish(topic, jsonPayload)
+await ctx.inspector.cordis.getTree()
+```
+
+发布操作先验证无损 JSON，再调度发送，不等待 Worker。每个 source 的队列都有上限；溢出表现为 sequence gap，绝不延迟被观察的应用操作。`cordis.getTree()` 读取 Worker 最新的 detached semantic snapshot，不创建 CDP session，也不启用 Runtime、Debugger 或 Sources。
+
+<a id="cordis-tree-inspection"></a>
+## Cordis tree inspection
+
+Elements document 包含固定的 `<host>` 与 `<clients>` 容器。`<host>` 包含 Host root Context；`<clients>` 为每个 Client source 包含一个 `<client>`，每个 `<client>` 再包含该 realm 的 root Context。Cordis root Fiber 不显示。其他 Fiber 都是 `fiber.parent` 的子节点，并包含唯一一个表示 `fiber.ctx` 的 Context 子节点；Fiber 只携带 `uid="<Cordis Fiber.uid>"`，Context element 不携带 attribute。只有 Context 的 `extend()`、`isolate()` 与 `intercept()` 层仍然是直接 Context 后代。
+
+Host 与 Client 发布同一种嵌套 `CordisTreeSnapshot` 类型。Context 与 Fiber 节点携带用于 realm-local 对象查询的不透明 object handle；Fiber 还携带 Cordis `uid`。Worker 把这些 realm snapshot 组合成一棵 `{ host, clients }` inspection tree。Worker 按 source generation 分配 `BackendNodeId`；每条 DevTools 连接分配自己的 `NodeId`；`DOM.resolveNode` 请求所属 Host 或 Client Runtime 生成连接本地 `RemoteObjectId`。`DOM.requestNode` 把该 object id 映射回同一个 Elements 节点。`ctx.inspector.cordis.getTree()` 与 `DSHInspector.getCordisTree` 读取不含 routing handle 或 CDP id 的 detached consumer-neutral tree。
+
+节点按 DevTools 连接做深度受限下发：调用方省略 `depth` 时 `DOM.getDocument` 提供三层 document，被扣留的层级通过 `childNodeCount` 声明数量，展开时经 `DOM.requestChildNodes` 获取（`depth: -1` 取整棵子树）。经 `DOM.performSearch`、`DOM.requestNode` 或 `DOM.pushNodesByBackendIdsToFrontend` 流出的 NodeId 会先把尚未下发的祖先层级以 `DOM.setChildNodes` event 推送出去。
+
+source 仍发布完整 snapshot，Worker 在通知 DevTools 前按稳定的 backend node identity 比较差异。无变化的 snapshot 不发送 DOM event；新增、移除和 attribute 变化使用节点级 CDP event，插入节点的载荷扣留其子树，兄弟节点重排只替换对应 parent 的 children。现有 `NodeId` 与未受影响的 Elements 展开状态保持稳定。
+
+Client 断联时，其 Console execution context 与 live object id 会立即销毁。启用断联树保留后，Elements 会原样保留最后一棵树；连接状态留在 inspection model 中，不会未经设计就成为 DOM attribute。重连会沿用逻辑 source id，为新的 transport generation 创建新的 synthetic CDP context id，并在完整 snapshot 到达后替换旧树。Worker 最多保留 `maxDisconnectedCordisTrees` 棵此类 snapshot；设为零会立即移除。
+
+<a id="host-fetch-capture"></a>
+## Host fetch 采集
+
+fetch 采集默认开启，记录完整 URL、全部请求与响应 headers、请求体、响应体、状态、时间、错误和取消。它不脱敏 credential、Cookie、query value 或 payload。body 采集读取 clone；原始 fetch resolve 后，调用方立即拿到原始 Response。
+
+配置的 body 上限限制保留量，而不选择字段：采集保留前缀并标记 truncated。`Network.getRequestPostData` 与 `Network.getResponseBody` 读取 Worker 保留的字节。`Network.streamResourceContent` 返回已缓冲的前缀，并仅为发起调用的 DevTools 连接把后续 response 字节附加到 `Network.dataReceived`，以驱动实时 Response 与 EventStream 视图。直接调用 Undici Client/Dispatcher，以及插件激活前保存的 fetch 引用，不在观察范围内。
+
+response headers 到达后，调用方 abort 可能会终止 observer clone；已采集的字节仍可通过 `Network.getResponseBody` 读取，采集 metadata 记录错误与截断，并且 CDP 因 fetch 已返回 Response 而发送 `Network.loadingFinished`。response headers 到达前发生的 fetch rejection 会发送 `Network.loadingFailed`，其中 abort 对应 `canceled: true`。
+
+<a id="security"></a>
+## 安全
+
+CDP target 通过 `Runtime.evaluate` 提供 Host 和已连接 Client realm 中的任意代码执行能力，Host Debugger 操作还会提供额外控制，完整 fetch 采集也包含秘密。因此 Worker 只接受 `127.0.0.1` 监听地址。Client ingest 还要求 Host 注入的随机 WebSocket subprotocol token；除非配置明确允许，否则拒绝非 loopback origin。CDP socket 本身不携带 token，loopback 监听是它唯一的访问控制。
+
+<a id="model-experience"></a>
+## 模型体验
+
+无：这个仅供开发者使用的 Inspector 只观察运行时活动，不改变模型请求。
+
+#### KV Cache 影响
+
+无：本包既不组装也不发送 provider 请求。
+
+## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
+
+<a id="known-limitations-and-deferred-work"></a>
+
+- **Client active debugging 不受支持**——Console event、Runtime 求值、RemoteObject 访问和只读 `lib/client.js` Sources 可用。Client script debugger request 返回明确的 unsupported error；target-wide pause 与 resume 只控制 Host。
+- **Client Sources 只暴露 Inspector bundle**——本包不收录页面中的其他 script。
+- **Client 求值使用页面 JavaScript**——页面 Content Security Policy 可能阻止动态求值；synthetic context 不提供 DevTools command-line helper 或原生 REPL 声明语义。
+- **fetch 拦截范围是 `globalThis.fetch`**——直接调用 Undici API，以及激活前保存的 fetch 引用不会被观察。
+- **body clone 有运行成本**——完整采集会 tee 请求与响应 stream，直至达到配置上限，可能增加内存与 I/O 压力。保留 body 的上限不包含 stream tee 内部的缓冲，包括来源提供的超大 chunk，或为读取较慢的应用分支排队的数据。
+- **不自动重启 Worker**——Worker 意外退出会使当前 Inspector 实例失败；生命周期恢复留待后续改动。
