Adding a published Python backend and reordering `flush_line` left several owning documents stating things that are no longer true. `src/invariant.ts` justified its empty installer with "ships only the fd-3 wire-protocol codec", which the subprocess execution path contradicts. The reason now states the actual one: every relation this backend maintains lives in the CPython child or on the fd-3 wire, so no same-process event sequence is observable from a listener -- the same shape the sibling worker-thread backend uses. The seam's `PORTABLE_RESERVED_WORDS` and `language` JSDoc, the code-runtime README pair, and docs/subsystems/code-runtime both said only TypeScript has a published backend. Corrected in all four, with the generated cordis catalog regenerated for the `language` change. The note attributed the 12x multiple to the settlement flush holding three copies. That stopped being true when `flush_line` was reordered to drop the pending chunks before its push: the binding worst case is the newline path's single near-budget write. Corrected in the note (both sides) and in the test comment that repeated it. The note's Testing section now registers the cases this stack added, and the Chinese side receives the O(depth) entry it never got plus the new ones -- it had drifted from the English. `INTERPRETER_BASELINE_BYTES` argued 64 MiB from a RESIDENT set while RLIMIT_AS bounds address space. It now cites the bootstrap's own measurement (30.23 MiB of mappings for `python3 -I`), making 64 MiB roughly twice the measured baseline. Also: a hardcoded `(:232-235)` comment reference becomes a reference by name, a "which now walks in O(depth) too" change narrative becomes a current-state statement, and a stray double blank line is removed.

Summary
The harness is assembled from npm packages under packages/, grouped by capability family: sessions and the agent loop, model-facing tools, shell and filesystem execution, web access, subagents, and the rest. Use this page as the top-level map: find the owning group, then open its README for the package list. Every package is scoped @deepseek-ai/dsh-* and lives in exactly one group; each group README is the authoritative package map for its family.
Table of Contents
Package groups

Release expectations
Most groups are product — stable API. The exceptions: e2b/ is a POC, experimental/ is unreleased, and test-support/, runtime-diagnostics/, and util/ are support with lower compatibility expectations.
Dependencies
The dependency graph is generated: docs/module-graph.md (pnpm run gen-module-graph, freshness-gated in CI).
Extension plugins depend on Service Definitions, never concrete providers. dsh-agent-loop is swappable; UI, hook, and tool plugins use dsh-agent. Composition bundles may depend on spine plugins. Capabilities separate Service Definition / Service Provider / Consumer roles when they evolve independently; see capability seams.
Package README contracts
Every package README covers purpose, configuration, extension points, and Model Experience unless the model-agnostic omission allowlist exempts it. It also carries ## Known Limitations and Deferred Work or uses its allowlist. Package conventions — exports, service access, invariants, tests — live in packages/AGENTS.md.
