Remove the `{ preset, insert }` / `{ preset, id, ...override }` profile patch
operation added in #5773, together with the app-boot compiler and reload drain,
config-editor filtering, plugin-manager preset row inventory and retained-module
removal checks, the read-only preset rows on the Plugins page, and the
agent-preset-registry row identities that served them.
Session search, Ralph, persistent terminals, Codex, and Claude Code bundles now
insert ordinary Host rows whose tools register in the global tool layer, like the
earlier optional bundles. Every preset, including minimal, sees them, and toggling
a bundle updates live Agents without new composition generations.
Integrate the observed master checkpoint 7ab215e23e5d977aae7eb5d4fb91782d39969dbb without rewriting the earlier published checkpoints. Master adds current-directory events, directory-aware consumers, and retained Git worktrees; its old subagent startup paths overlapped the unified activation implementation.
Resolve directory selection within managed startup after acquiring parent ownership. Preserve the original Session origin while setting each new local child directory, retain persisted directory state on cold resume, and pass a required absolute cwd to external providers. Keep unified local/external ownership, full completion notices, parked-input host completion, SDK wait/error/shutdown behavior, and ACP cancellation semantics. Retain removal of the old in-process driver and continuation managers.
Combine SDK wait with the new directory requests, preserve the new master directory/worktree fixtures, regenerate derived catalogs from the combined sources, and refresh only the four stale prompt/schema sidecars. Preserve every protected historical schema, archived note, catalog-v2 acknowledgement, and recorded predecessor input.
Validation: full build; 59 CI static gates; 855 subagent tests with 100% coverage on changed core/external sources; affected consumer suites including 119 repaired-fixture tests; SDK 11 and headless 16 recorded scenarios; two local headless expected cases; six built nested SDK/ACP cases; lint, strict cast inventory, workspace constraints, and whitespace checks. Native Windows worker diagnostics remain additive and require the next CI run to classify the original crash.
The SDK subagent provider now uses session/wait to keep a delegated child
runtime alive through nested work. A deployment that explicitly selects an
older dshBin can still initialize and accept a prompt but cannot satisfy
that completion request; it must report an execution failure rather than
silently treating the first idle as success.
State the required operation in the provider's owning failure/recovery
contract and update the current activation upgrade guide to tell users to
upgrade a separately configured runtime with the provider. This adds no
capability negotiation, compatibility fallback, or new runtime behavior.
Validation: upgrade-guide structure/word budget and both bilingual pairs
pass. The requirement matches the provider's direct session/wait request
and the SDK server's explicit unknown-method rejection.
SubagentRun.id previously promised uniqueness only within one parent,
but the unified manager indexes every external activation by that id in
one runtime-wide resident map. Publication also checks the live Agent and
Session registries. Two compliant-looking provider results could therefore
collide even when they belonged to different parents.
Document the existing shared Session id namespace across all parents,
providers, and local Sessions. Update the package reference, bilingual
type-equivalent declaration, and the current upgrade guide so custom
providers know to replace parent-local counters with fresh execution ids.
The shipped ACP, DSH SDK, Codex, and Claude Code providers already mint
UUIDs; no runtime mapping or additional retained identity state is needed.
Add a cross-parent collision test through startActivation. It proves that
publication rejects the duplicate, disposes only the new external handle,
leaves the second parent catalog empty, and preserves the first catalog
entry and execution result through normal cleanup.
Validation: all seven external-lifecycle tests pass, as do scoped bilingual
pairing, verify-upgrade-guides, doc-sync, and full lint. Cordis catalog and
inspection-catalog regeneration produces no tracked artifact changes.
The activation refactor removes tool-subagent configuration keys, changes
the model-visible result from foreground or Job-backed output to an
activation receipt, and removes a published in-process driver package.
Updated package references describe the new behavior but do not tell an
existing deployment or package consumer how to migrate those surfaces.
Add the bilingual v0.2.1-alpha.1 upgrade guide and pairing record. Explain
which cordis.yml keys and tool arguments to remove, how to consume parent
completion notices, when host code should await caller-delivery results,
and how publication changes cancellation ownership. Name the existing
Spawn/Fork providers and prepareContinuable API as the driver replacement
without adding a compatibility adapter or promising a foreground mode.
Validation: verify-upgrade-guides, scoped verify-translation-pairing,
verify-md-links, and doc-sync pass. A temporary runtime probe executed the
guide's exact YAML and TypeScript fences and confirmed the caller result,
catalog membership, and absence of a parent notice. The four existing
parent-result tests pass. The probe was removed after execution.
