A step's tool set no longer empties when the step is cancelled. The shared pipeline already settles unstarted calls as cancelled; keeping admission lets those calls keep their finalizers, and a wrapper result completed at cancellation now reports cancellation instead of UNKNOWN_TOOL. exit_plan_mode checks for a missing Agent explicitly instead of asserting it. Document the activation types on the tools subsystem page, the turn/end code for a failed tool condition, the replacement and no-set consequences in the upgrade guide, and the admission rule in the parallel tool-call note.

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.
