The profile rework left references to the old entry modes behind. Renames
the user patch-layer API and its spec file (watchPersonalPatches ->
watchUserPatches, personal-config.spec.ts -> user-patches.spec.ts) and
retargets the prose that still named `config.yaml`, `--config`, raw-config
mode, and surface overlays: repository-plugin and mcp-memory READMEs, the
credentials-local anchor into app-boot, vendor manifest items 12-13, the
vendored include/hmr comments, and install.sh.
Restores the boot-failure guard the rework dropped with raw mode: the
built-bin case now boots `--profile web --patch <invalid>` and asserts the
settled diagnostic and exit 1, so the HMR initial-scan deadlock stays
covered; its orphaned raw fixture is renamed and the unused one deleted.
The superseded personal-config Agent Note and its superseding profile note
are now cross-linked.
Adds docs/user/develop/basic/publish.md (+ zh pair, website entry) to the
basics path: the bundle-vs-profile manifest split, dsh plugin add into a
profile, the five-layer loading order, and the GitHub-install build-script
catch — git specs ship sources, so the author owns a self-contained prepare
script and the user owns an allowBuilds allowance that is install-time code
execution; built tarballs and npm need neither.
A profile manifest and a bundle manifest are different kinds and shared one
flat `dsh` section: `dsh.plugins` listed bundles (not plugins) and `dsh.patch`
declared a bundle's layer. Each kind now names its role — a bundle declares
`dsh.bundle.patch`, a profile declares `dsh.profile.bundles` — so a
package.json states which role it plays and the list name matches its contents.
`DEFAULT_PROFILE_PLUGINS` becomes `DEFAULT_PROFILE_BUNDLES`, and
`DshManifestSection` splits into `DshBundleManifest`/`DshProfileManifest`.
Pre-release: no compatibility shim; turtle-ui moved with it (bd5ff10).
- Relative path specs (., ../plugin, file:/link: forms) anchor to the
invoking directory before forwarding: pnpm's cwd is the profile dir, so a
bare 'add .' from a plugin checkout used to self-link the profile (exit 0,
nothing installed). Bare paths stay bare and prefixed specs keep their
prefix, preserving pnpm's link-vs-copy semantics.
- dsh.plugins reconciles against the INSTALLED state on every successful
pnpm run, not the dependency diff: an update whose new version gains
dsh.patch activates the layer; a version that drops it (or a removal)
deactivates it. Template bundles are never touched.
- A failed pnpm run now names the profile directory, and a git-spec failure
explains pnpm >=10's prepare-script block with a pointer at the profile's
pnpm-workspace.yaml allowBuilds (turtle-ui's prepare-based git install is
the reference consumer); reference README documents all three.
The old $DSH_HOME/config.yaml personal overlay returns under the profile
scheme's filename: machine-local preferences that apply to every profile,
loaded after the profile's own cordis.patch.yml (so the home layer outranks
it) and before --patch overlays and flag patches. Both user layers are
hot-reloaded on long-lived surfaces and shown in --dump-config with their
own provenance labels; the built-bin e2e covers the home layer landing live.
- composeProfile keeps layers as bundle/user/overlay+flags segments instead
of one flat list later re-sliced by index arithmetic; the row index drops
the group-walk (profile trees are flat patch compositions) and the double
composition.
- The config dump anchors on the profile's real empty root (written by the
shared prepareProfile) instead of materializing a temp file, so dump and
boot compose over the identical base by construction.
- dsh-base drops its patchPath export: the dsh.patch manifest field is the
one contract; the package carries no runtime API.
- packageDirFromAnchor is paths-probe only (the require.resolve fast path
duplicated the probe's outcome); basename() replaces hand-rolled path
splitting; verify-cordis-config stops re-reading bundle manifests in-loop.
- Clone patch lists per generation (boot + composeLive): the include pushes
insert rows by reference and mutates them in place, so a reused object
baked user overrides into bundle rows and removal could not revert; the
built-bin hot-reload e2e now asserts an override AND its removal reverting.
- The headless runner awaits Loader settlement before prompting (its inject
gate covers only apiProxy/httpServer) and abandons cleanly when the tree
died during the wait.
- healProfilesModuleFallback walks the app's full dependency+peer closure:
out-of-tree plugins import seam packages (dsh-compact, dsh-subprocess, ...)
that only implementations reach, and peers are how seams are declared.
- Profile init writes pnpm-workspace.yaml (nodeLinker: hoisted), not .npmrc
— pnpm >=10 reads settings from the workspace manifest.
- Web dumps reject boot-only flags instead of printing a tree that differs
from the same invocation's boot; --port validates at the flag;
--dump-default-config no longer parses the (possibly broken) user layer;
trustedHosts flag derivation merges over the composed value instead of
replacing it; web-runtime gains surfaceContext (headless disables the GUI
prompt/bash-vars the old -p never mounted); 'node_modules' is a reserved
profile name; plugin-warning names the recovery step; client AGENTS.md
registration surfaces point at the web-app bundle.
- Ship session-reference/tmux-context/tool-ask-user as app dependencies for
terminal front-door patch layers (turtle-ui), same stance as mcp-client.
A custom profile that mounts no telemetry-otel row exports nothing, so
DSH_TELEMETRY_DISABLED must not fail its boot (CI exports the switch
globally, which broke the lifecycle-fixture profile). The web-app dist
resolution test accepts the fail-loud unbuilt outcome the CI coverage lane
sees before any build, and the headless spec covers the idle-anchor and
pre-start skip branches under the per-file gate.
Update every doc referencing base.cordis.yml/web.cordis.yml, --config, -p, or
$DSH_HOME/config.yaml to the profile vocabulary with bilingual counterparts
re-recorded; regenerate the catalogs and graphs; add the
profile-plugin-bundles Agent Note recording the design and its rejected
alternatives.
dsh --profile <name> replaces the fixed entry modes: --config and -p are
removed, --patch adds overlays over the composed profile, a positional task
selects one-shot mode (requires the headless-runner row), and dsh web stays as
the alias for --profile web carrying the Web flag family as patches. dsh
plugin --profile <name> forwards verbatim to pnpm in the profile directory,
initializes on first use, and reconciles the dsh.plugins layer list after
add/remove (patch-less packages warn and stay plain dependencies). Config
dumps and the keyless web e2e scaffold compose the same bundle layers over the
same empty root as the boot.
Profiles live at $DSH_HOME/profiles/<name>: a package.json with pnpm-managed
out-of-tree dependencies plus the ordered dsh.plugins bundle list, and a user
cordis.patch.yml layer. Bundles resolve installation-first, then
profile-local; composeEntries applies layers over an empty root through the
include's own applyEntryPatches; healProfilesModuleFallback maintains the flat
profiles/node_modules symlink surface so bare plugin names resolve from any
profile. The personal-overlay machinery ($DSH_HOME/config.yaml) is retargeted
to per-profile patch files: loadPersonalPatches becomes loadOptionalPatches
and watchPersonalPatches takes the exact filename.
Profile bundles are npm packages declaring dsh.patch in their manifest:
dsh-base carries the former base.cordis.yml rows as one insert over the empty
profile root; dsh-web-app carries the web overlay plus a runtime glue plugin
owning what used to be launcher code (frontend dist resolution via
frontend-static, the web-surface prompt section, bash runtime variables, the
readiness-gated URL line); dsh-headless carries the one-shot runner driving a
task turn through the in-process API carrier under the launcher-provided
ctx.headlessIo seam.
The webserver's built-in static dist serving becomes a single-owner fallback
seat (registerFallback/applyIndexTaps); the SPA server moves to the new
@deepseek-ai/dsh-frontend-static plugin so the composing application owns its
dist as composition, not carrier config. distIndex leaves the webserver
schema; unclaimed fallback answers 404.
The goal scenario asserted a paused revision-2 goal, but the pause is
appended only after cancellation reaches idle — after turn/end. Under
parallel snapshot files the subprocess could dispose before the pause
record persisted, folding the log to an active revision-1 goal.
Add a waitForEventAfterTurnEnd input step (the turn-end/title waiters'
shape, parameterized by event type) and use it in the goal scenario to
hold the subprocess open until the goal-state record lands.
The snapshot config serialized all 13 files for every mode, but the
fixture-writing rationale only holds for record (real API quota per
scenario) and refresh (write-back harvests volatile values from
fixtures on disk). Replay — the keyless default and the CI mode — is
read-only with a unique temp dir per scenario subprocess, and the
suite factory already runs replay scenarios concurrently in-file.
Narrow the serialization to non-replay modes: pnpm test:snapshot drops
from ~49s to ~33s wall; record/refresh stay fully serial.
Resuming a long session (196k events, 2.2k steps, 1.8k tool cards) took
~12s to render and ~800ms to echo one keystroke:
- Every step's timing footer called stepTimingAt, which replayed the whole
event log per footer - O(steps x events) on the initial render.
- pi-tui re-renders every component each frame and relies on per-component
line caches, but ToolCardComponent/ContextCardComponent built throwaway
Text/Markdown instances inside render(width), re-wrapping every settled
card's output on every keystroke.
Replace the per-footer replay with one shared StepTimingTracker per chat
mount (single O(events) cursor over the append-only log), and cache card
rows by width via CardLineCache, dropped by every state mutator and
invalidate().
Measured (tmux 200x50, 196k-event session): resume prompt-ready ~12s -> ~7.6s;
per-keystroke echo ~800ms median -> ~11ms.
session-title already registers a title projection unit; /resume now
reads it instead of scanning logs: live rows from the registry
snapshot, persisted rows from the durable checkpoint row
(cachedSnapshot, zero I/O), and only rows without a usable checkpoint
pay a coldSnapshot — checkpoint plus readFrom tail, written back so the
next scan is metadata-only. Cold reads are bounded by the new
resumeScanConcurrency config; compositions without the cache fall back
to the bounded readTitleSnapshots batch. The TUI overlay mounts the
projection registry, storage, and projection-cache rows over the same
storages root the web surface uses, so checkpoints serve both.
Rows no longer read logs for anything but the batch title fold: the
activity timestamp is a live session's last in-memory event time or the
artifact mtime via the optional sessionPersistence.locate(), falling
back to creation time; the last-turn, route, and goal columns are gone.
Route availability moves to the Enter-time preflight, which already
fully reads and replay-validates the one chosen log. The projectSessions
public API this PR had added to session-query is reverted — the change
is now confined to the TUI package.
Master's transactional loader made the invalid-provider PTY case regress:
the HMR main watcher's initial scan refreshed the include mid-initial-apply,
the concurrent group updates stranded the include fiber, and once serialized
the failing apply's rollback deadlocked on HMR's refresh drain — dsh exited
13 with no diagnostic and the terminal stranded, the exact symptom this
branch fixes. Serialize every include child-tree mutation through one queue
and pass ignoreInitial to the HMR main watcher; the failing boot now settles
through boot()'s labelled rejection with the tree disposed and exit 1. The
PTY case asserts the settled diagnostic; the fail-loud release remains the
guard for rejections boot cannot see.
Conflicts: apps/cli/src/tui.ts (keep the release install over master's comment
rewording), packages/ui/app-boot/README* (master's new installFailLoud row
wording plus this branch's release and timeout rows).
The comments and Agent Note blamed macOS resolving /var through
private/var. That is only how the mismatch surfaced in temp fixtures, since
mktemp hands back a /var path there.
The real condition is broader: Git always reports resolved paths, so
comparing one against an unresolved path disagrees whenever a symlink sits
anywhere above the checkout. A symlinked home directory alone triggers it —
reproduced with no /var involved — which is common wherever homes live
behind a symlink or on a network mount.
Naming the cause correctly keeps a reader from dismissing resolve_dir as
macOS-only defensiveness.
Review flagged the resolve_dir comment: it claimed `x=$(cmd) || fallback`
never fires "because the assignment succeeds even when the substitution
fails." That is wrong — command substitution propagates exit status and the
fallback does fire, confirmed in sh, bash, dash, and zsh.
Reproducing the original code shows the fallback also worked, so the second
"recurrence" the Agent Note described never existed. Both real defects were
the same one: comparing a resolved path against an unresolved one. The note
now says that instead of inventing a mechanism.
resolve_dir keeps its `|| printf` because it makes every caller a plain
assignment, so no site can compare against an empty path by forgetting its
own fallback — the reason is now stated accurately.
Also from review: REPO_COMMON is now resolved on both branches, matching
REPO_ROOT, and _repo_root notes why it is already physical without its own
resolve_dir call.
These skills resolve the layout from the PATH launcher and Git, so how the
checkout was installed never enters the procedure. Describing install
shapes, the installer script, and its variables added detail a reader must
hold and would go stale whenever the installer changes.
Both skills now describe the observable state they resolve. The cases that
mattered survive as properties of that state: the main clone may sit
anywhere on any branch, and a launcher may link straight at a worktree with
no `current`.
DSH_SOURCE is an install-time shell variable the installer never exports, so
a skill reading ${DSH_SOURCE} at runtime reads nothing. Verified unset in a
running dsh process.
Git resolves the main clone identically for every install, so the curl-vs-
adopted distinction was never a branch point in these workflows. Verified
one launcher-then-Git recipe against three shapes: a curl install cloning
into the container, an adopted clone nested far outside any container, and
a custom DSH_SOURCE container.
dsh-customize now states that single procedure and warns off the installer
variables. dsh-upgrade's Layout describes what the resolution finds rather
than a path convention, and no longer teaches install shapes as cases.
PR #1100 recorded the golden with the session-lineage navigation still in
the header; PR #1099 removed it. Master's snapshots job was skipped on the
combining merge, so the conflict first surfaced on the next PR's CI.
Both skills said to derive the main clone from the checkout without saying
how, and dsh-upgrade names dsh-customize as the owner of checkout discovery
— so the technique belonged there and was missing.
dsh-customize now gives it: `git rev-parse --git-common-dir` from the
checkout yields the shared git directory, whose parent is the main clone.
It also names the two ways to get this wrong — the answer is relative for a
plain clone, and paths must be compared physically, since macOS reaches
/var through a symlink to /private/var.
dsh-upgrade links to that procedure rather than restating it.
Verified against both shapes: an adopted clone outside the container, and a
curl-shaped install whose clone is at <source>/master.
"Master clone" named the repository after a branch it need not be on. An
adopted clone keeps whatever branch it had — verified: adopting a clone
checked out on a feature branch leaves it there — so the name was wrong for
every install that did not come from curl.
Renamed to "main clone" in dsh-upgrade and dsh-customize, describing its
actual role: the one real clone whose object store every worktree shares.
dsh-upgrade also now says not to assume the main clone sits on `master` or
that its `origin` is authoritative upstream, since an adopted clone may
point at a fork. The fetch itself was already correct: step 1 resolves
authoritative upstream separately, and step 4 fetches upstream `master`
from it rather than from the clone's own branch.
The timeout promise's executor runs synchronously while the race is
constructed, so the timer is always assigned; the undefined check was a
dead branch the per-file coverage gate rejected.
Adoption installs the master wherever the adopted clone already is, so
dsh-upgrade and dsh-customize can no longer state <source>/master as fact.
Both skills already derive the master from the launcher, so the procedures
hold; only the layout description was wrong. dsh-upgrade now names
`git rev-parse --git-common-dir` as the way to resolve it.
The legacy-migration clauses stay: installs made before this change can
still link PATH straight at a worktree.
