Windows sessions on the self-hosted lane settled one or two of seven sends on the controlled prompt and charged the silence tier for the rest (issue 2487). The marker is written by the shell's own prompt function and the printable tail by the same render, so a tail that arrives past `idleSilenceMs + handoffGraceMs` means a stalled delivery, not an absent prompt. `dsh-terminal-bash` gains a validated `promptTailGraceMs` bound (default 0, which reproduces the previous bound exactly). While a send has seen the marker and its printable tail has not arrived, the silence bound grows by it. The pwsh Loader-composition case sets 5000 ms, the host class the bound is for, and still fails when no marker appears at all.

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.

registers on ctx.tools |
tool-bash-persistent |
Runs model shell calls in one owner-isolated persistent Bash session | registers on ctx.tools |

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 loudly at load time 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.
