Yichen Jiang 053979cdec test(activity): cover the owner arm and the pwsh outer observation catch
The coverage lanes flag four uncovered locations after the master merge:
the spec.owner spread in tool-bash/tool-pwsh observe, the workflow mirror's
owner spread, and tool-pwsh's outer observation catch. The covering tests
existed only on the stacked job-kill branch; give this branch its own:
an owned background run per shell asserting the fenced ownerSession row,
the owned workflow mirror run, and a throwing open() through the pwsh
outer catch. The windows-only file-reference-local gap reproduces on
master's own windows lane at the merge point and stays upstream.

The bash capability family for deployments and maintainers choosing and composing a shell executor, sandboxing, and the model-facing bash and pwsh tools. package-group

shell/ — bash capability family

English | 中文

Summary

The shell group provides command execution to agents: run a foreground command and read its bounded output, or start a background process and poll it, on POSIX with Bash and on Windows with PowerShell. Exactly one executor implementation is mounted per composition; the sandboxing executors confine every command through the sandbox capability, and the model-facing bash and pwsh tools sit on top of whichever executor is mounted. Choose a Bash executor for POSIX, a PowerShell executor for Windows, and pick the sandboxing variant when commands need file-level confinement.

Packages

Package Role ctx key
shell Defines the executor contract: foreground runs, background handles, and request resolution ctx.shell
bash-local Runs Bash commands as fresh bash -c processes on POSIX registers ctx.shell
bash-sandbox Runs Bash commands confined through the sandbox capability, reporting denials as facts registers ctx.shell
pwsh-local Runs PowerShell commands as fresh pwsh -Command processes on Windows registers ctx.shell
pwsh-sandbox Runs PowerShell commands confined through the sandbox capability registers ctx.shell
shell-env Supplies the managed DSH_* environment every shell command receives ctx.shellEnv
tool-bash Exposes Bash execution and background jobs to the model as the bash tool registers on ctx.tools
tool-bash-persistent Runs model shell calls in one owner-isolated persistent Bash session registers on ctx.tools
tool-pwsh Exposes PowerShell execution to the model as the pwsh tool registers on ctx.tools
tool-pwsh-persistent Runs model shell calls in one owner-isolated persistent PowerShell session registers on ctx.tools

A profile layer selects exactly one executor implementation (the win32 layer swaps the POSIX rows for the pwsh ones; mounting two fails loud on the duplicate service registration) and the model-facing tools it needs. A sandboxed composition also selects a ctx.sandbox provider and ctx.sandboxPolicy; the base bundle owns the shipped wiring.


  • Bash executor subsystem — the shared request/spec vocabulary, results, background processes, and the service contract.
  • Sandbox subsystem — the confinement capability the sandboxing executors consume.
