The web task list gains a two-press stop control on running job rows, built on
one seam change: JobRegistry.kill now takes { reason?, reported? } instead of a
positional reason. reported defaults to true (the model's job_kill claims the
terminal report exactly as before); the web path passes reported: false because
a human kill has no model-visible channel, so the settlement flows through the
existing tool-jobs completion notice (wakeup/inject, budgets, truncation all
unchanged). A recorded kill reason merges into a killed settlement's detail
(producer facts first: 'signal: SIGTERM; cancelled by the user'), so the notice
and the web row both say who stopped the work.
- session-controller: session.killJob Remote beside cancel, live-only Agent
lookup, job-not-found/jobs-unavailable rejections joined to the closed RPC
error table; ClientSession.killJob and the ISession face carry it to the UI.
- ui-activity: arm/confirm stop button (3s disarm, pending disable, failure
hint), rendered only on running job rows; standalone activities keep no kill
handle and the README limitation now says so.
- The background-job-list web e2e now drives the whole human path through the
button; goldens show the merged killed detail end to end.
- Agent Note 2026-08-26-human-job-kill records the decision against Kimi's
suppress-own-notification precedent and Claude Code's silent-kill failure;
the 2026-08-08 blocker note and the unified-task-list note point at it.

Session Controller
English | 中文
Summary
@deepseek-ai/dsh-api-session-controller owns the Host ctx.sessionController service and the generated Client ctx.remote.session namespace. It serves Session list, search, creation, model selection, rename, fork, prompt, attachment, queue, cancellation, human background-job kill, message-aligned history, live log following, and Host-wide control state. Use it through API Gateway when a Client needs these Session operations.
Table of Contents
Use this package
History pages and follow opening snapshots carry a discriminated SessionHistoryRecord. Both variants use { type, event }: type: 'event' carries one raw SessionWireEvent, while type: 'chunks' carries one lossless ChunkRowEvent for consecutive same-block assistant/chunk deltas. Both inner values expose type, seq, time, and data, so the Client retains each accepted record as one SessionEventLikeEntry without record-by-record conversion. A packed event's seq and time identify its first member, and data retains the fragment and timestamp-gap arrays. Live follow frames remain individual event records. Tool arguments, result content, failures, and tool/result.data.meta pass through unchanged; the controller does not resolve a Tool definition, run a presenter, or attach UI data.
Each endpoint states its activation policy. List, search, attachment, history pages, and log following can inspect persistence without activating an Agent; queue mutation, cancellation, and background-job kill require the corresponding live state (the job kill leaves the terminal report unclaimed so the owning agent still receives its completion notice); model, rename, and prompt commands may explicitly resume an ordinary Session. Create and fork are the only operations that create a new Agent. The service applies one preset-aware resume policy and subagent ownership fence to its own methods and to the Typert Agent and Session lookups used by other Remote namespaces.
The Client adapter exposes SessionEventStream, a Gateway RemoteJournalStream bound to one ordinary or direct-subagent address. It opens follow before the initial page, publishes only contiguous replace, prepend, and append changes, and repairs reconnect or sequence gaps through a tail page. Ordinary records cover [event.seq, event.seq]; packed rows cover [event.seq, event.seq + memberCount - 1]. A business, persistence, or unresolved continuity failure terminates the stream, while only physical carrier loss selects automatic resumption. SessionControlStream is a Gateway RemoteSnapshotStream; every generation opens with a complete process-local baseline, so reconnect replaces queue, jobs, and projection state instead of treating transient values as durable events.

The generated configuration catalog is the exhaustive source for accepted fields and their JSDoc.
Model Experience
None, as invoked Agent commands own any model-visible effect.
KV Cache effect
No direct effect; model requests remain owned by the Agent and LLM packages.
Known Limitations and Deferred Work
- Control baselines represent process-local state and therefore cannot reconstruct jobs after a Host restart.
- A failed follow resumption remains visible to the caller instead of retrying indefinitely.
