Tianyi Cui a7a5be1703 docs(notes): archive low-future-value Agent Notes
Run the dsh-archive-agent-notes audit over every active Agent Note on
current master, judging each record by whether its rationale still guides
work rather than by size or age.

- Archive 453 implemented bilingual triplets (417,882 English words):
  completed UI chrome, narrow adapters, closed bug fixes, implementation
  walkthroughs whose package READMEs, docs pages, generators, or successor
  notes now carry the useful behavior, and 51 records fully superseded by
  a later active note. Keep 201 implemented notes whose ownership rules,
  negative guarantees, durable or wire semantics, security rules,
  reintroduction conditions, or still-tempting rejected alternatives
  remain useful.
- Reject 7 proposals whose premise is gone or whose work shipped in
  amended form under other records; delete 2 rejected notes that no
  longer prevent a plausible mistake.
- Retarget every remaining inbound link to the archived path, and repair
  active prose that named an archived record as the owner of a live fact:
  parenthetical citations drop, ownership sentences redirect to the
  README, docs page, or active note that states the fact, and history
  citations say so. Chinese files link the English archived path because
  the pairing gate treats the frozen tree as outside the bilingual corpus.
- Seal 1,359 new frozen artifacts; existing seals are unchanged and
  outbound links from archived notes are neither inspected nor repaired.
- Regenerate docs/config-catalog.md after the hook-bridge comment edits
  shifted two source line numbers.

The filesystem package group: the ctx.fs provider contract, local and sandbox-enforcing backends, the read-before-edit policy plugin, and the model-facing file and search tools. package-group

Summary

The fs/ group gives agents durable, policy-governed access to files: the ctx.fs service contract in fs/, the host-filesystem and sandbox-enforcing backends in fs-local/ and fs-sandbox/, the read-before-edit policy in fs-observation-policy/, and the model-facing tools in tool-fs/ (read, read_image, write, edit) and tool-fs-search/ (glob, grep). A deployment mounts one backend, loads the policy for freshness-guarded mutations, and registers the tool packages the model should see; backends swap without touching the tools or the policy. File I/O takes no timeout by design: a deadline would kill work the OS still finishes, so cancellation is a best-effort signal at syscall boundaries.

Packages

Seven packages plus the remote sibling fs-e2b play the filesystem roles; the subsystem reference owns the exhaustive contracts and the error taxonomy.

Package Role ctx key
fs/ ctx.fs service contract: execution-world paths, bounded text I/O, and atomic mutations with an optional version guard ctx.fs
fs-local/ Host-filesystem backend: reads, writes, and edits real files on the local machine registers on ctx.fs
fs-sandbox/ Sandbox-enforcing backend: fences writes and edits by the per-call sandbox mode while reads pass through registers on ctx.fs
e2b/fs-e2b E2B-backed backend: file state lives in the remote execution world shared with the E2B subprocess provider registers on ctx.fs
fs-observation-policy/ Read-before-edit policy: records observed presence or absence and guards write/edit through the fs/* events fs/* listeners
tool-fs/ Model-facing read, read_image, write, and edit tools plus their executor registers on ctx.tools
tool-fs-search/ Model-facing glob and grep discovery tools backed by the packaged ripgrep binary registers on ctx.tools
tool-str-replace-editor/ Standalone str_replace_editor tool: view, create, str_replace, and insert over ctx.fs registers on ctx.tools

The policy is a plugin, not a service the tools inject: removing it leaves the bare provider's unconditional mutation behavior instead of breaking the tools. The mode fence in fs-sandbox and the read-before-edit gate compose. tool-fs-search deliberately does not extend the provider contract — search is a process-backed ripgrep workflow, so filesystem backends stay free of a universal search API.


Start with the subsystem reference for the shared vocabulary and error taxonomy, then the decisions that shaped the family.
