Log tool changes as developer messages independently of model capability, fold committed headers and updates into Session.toolHistory(), and let the LLM runtime construct deferred and retained declarations for routes that declare a toolUpdate mode. DeepSeek serializes updates as system-role tool_addition/tool_removal blocks with defer_loading and the tool-changes beta header. An unchanged restored tool continues the series and is re-offered through its recorded blocks instead of rewriting declarations. Replace the obsolete rejection tests with wire assertions and add coverage for the session fold, loop emission, route projection, config validation, and the beta header. Chat and Trajectory changes land separately.

Summary
Use the core packages to build or extend an agent that records durable session history, assembles system prompts, exposes tools, selects a default model, and runs model turns. These packages define the shared APIs used by every composition, while executable product assemblies live under packages/bundle. Choose this group when developing agent behavior or replacing one of those capabilities; start with dsh-base when you need the default runnable composition.
Table of Contents
Packages
| Package | Role | ctx key |
|---|---|---|
scope/ |
Scoped registration and event routing that isolate one agent's contributions | library — no ctx key |
session/ |
The append-only session event log every agent's history derives from | ctx.sessions |
system-prompt/ |
System-prompt assembly from ordered sections, tool schemas, and variables | ctx.systemPrompt |
tools/ |
The tool registry and guarded execution pipeline the loop dispatches through | ctx.tools |
agent-tool-presentation/ |
Per-agent tool-presentation selector for presets | no ctx key |
agent/ |
The Agent handle plugins program against, plus its live registry and events |
ctx.agents |
agent-default-model/ |
The deployment default model selection entry points apply to fresh agents | ctx.agentDefaultModel |
agent-loop/ |
The default agent driver: creates agents and runs the turn and step lifecycle | ctx.agentLoop |
scope supplies the shared scoping primitive; agent owns the public Agent contract, while agent-loop is its default implementation, so extension plugins depend on agent and the driver stays swappable. agent-default-model owns the deployment selection an entry point applies when a session has none of its own. Runnable compositions live under packages/bundle; this group owns only the swappable spine pieces.
