The hover affordance framed only the strip right of the crumbs. The bar itself
now carries the outline and the padding in both modes, so hovering previews
exactly the field the click produces and nothing resizes when the two swap.
One keystroke moved the view twice: deleting a separator first narrowed the
pane the draft had just walked away from, then replaced it with its landing.
The tail now filters only the LAST pane — the one whose level the path names —
so a pane on its way out holds still until its landing arrives.
Also from the review round: the walk waits both legs out instead of taking the
submitted-navigation bound (a speculative scan has nothing waiting on it, and
a tail keystroke aborting a slow parent leg would otherwise strand the
two-pane view); a level keeps answering the directory text that produced it,
so `..` segments and Windows forward slashes filter and stop rescanning; the
release-on-miss rule counts displayable rows, so it survives `hidden` ever
meaning more than dot-prefixed; and the editor's 250ms rest joins the other
two constants on the remote-recalibration list.
Skipping the draft-following scan whenever ANY pane happened to list the
directory was the cheaper rule and the wrong one: erasing a segment left the
level being typed on the LEFT, with its own child pane still standing to its
right, so the two panes stopped reading as "where I am, and where I came
from".
The pane arity is now the invariant the editor maintains — the last pane lists
the level the path names, its parent sits beside it, and only a display root
lists alone. Only that last pane's own tail costs no scan; every other
directory part re-lands.
The draft-following scan replaced the panes with one wide level, so typing a
path collapsed the dialog's Miller view — the thing the dialog is. It now
lands through the same selection-anchored landing every navigation uses:
target and parent legs as one frame, the target re-selected in its parent
level, its children on the right. Typing a path moves the Miller view exactly
as a crumb jump does.
One landing shape, two callers: `land(path, {closeEditor, announce})` is what
`navigate` and the draft-following scan share. A submitted path closes the
editor and announces failures; the speculative scan keeps both to itself and
re-parks the focus its swap dropped.
A level a pane already lists still needs no scan at all — the filter alone
answers the draft — so erasing back into the parent's own path keeps both
panes and only moves the filter.
ds-review-bot round one. Keying the debounce on the directory part the draft
named left two states with no recovery until the operator crossed a separator:
a keystroke that superseded an in-flight scan never re-armed one, and an edit
after a rejected submission released the hold with no timer left to release.
The wait is now keyed on the draft itself and decides its target when it
fires, reading the panes through a ref so a landing cannot re-arm it (a host
answering with a differently spelled path would otherwise scan forever).
A landed scan that unmounts the row a keyboard operator Tabbed onto re-parks
focus on the still-open editor; the Modal has no focus trap. That a walked-to
level survives closing the editor is now stated in the README, the Agent Note,
and the module contract. The new e2e stages its own beta directory so running
it alone sees the tree its assertions describe.
The Select Workspace Directory dialog hid its one route into typing a path
behind an invisible click target, and once the editor opened the panes stayed
on whatever level was listed when it opened — so the typed text and the list
under it disagreed for the whole edit.
The edit zone now carries a pencil glyph at the bar's right edge and lights in
the editor's own footprint on hover/focus (the bar keeps one height across the
swap). While editing, the panes follow the draft: a directory part no pane
lists is scanned after a 250ms rest and lands in place, so typing deeper
descends and erasing segments steps back up without leaving the editor, and a
final segment nobody matches releases the prefix filter instead of emptying
the pane it is being spelled into. The draft-following scan is speculative and
silent on failure; Enter still owns the view from submission until landing and
remains the only path that surfaces an error.
- .loadingFloat moved after the .status/.error block (its padding was
losing the same-specificity race) and re-anchored bottom-right: the
truncated/error rows own the bottom left and keep rendering through a
scan, so the pill can never cover them; confirmCreate's relist now
clears the stale failure text like every other scan launch.
- The close edge resets loading, so the slow-scan effect disarms while
hidden and a reopened dialog waits out a fresh silence window
(regression test added).
- The truncated note's survival through a scan is now asserted in the
slow-scan test; the wait-bound test moved to fake timers with the
200ms bound explicit.
- select()'s exemption from the one-frame rule and the constants' local
calibration premise are recorded in JSDoc and the capability-seam
Agent Note; the themed-scrollbars note's rebinding enumeration is
replaced by a pointer to the mechanical gate (it had drifted twice).
Both pairs re-recorded.
Navigations keep the previous view rendering while scanning: target and
parent legs land as one two-pane frame when the parent leg settles within
a 200ms wait bound (past it the target lands alone and the late leg
upgrades in place; Escape inside the landing window withdraws the
navigation). The loading indicator floats over the content on the card
background and appears only once a scan outlives a 300ms silence window,
so navigation never shifts the columns or flashes an intermediate frame.
The truncated note now describes the on-screen panes instead of hiding
during scans.

Add @deepseek-ai/dsh-host-directory-picker-auto, a node-half-only chooser
that samples the host situation once at boot (bind host via a new
httpServer.host getter, SSH markers, platform, DISPLAY/WAYLAND_DISPLAY)
and mounts the matching dual-face backend (-native or -browse) as a real
Loader entry in the in-memory root tree; the effect disposer removes it.
Entry-level mounting keeps the seam's one-row-swaps-both-faces invariant:
the client module table discovers the mounted backend's browser half
exactly as a config row's. apps/cli now composes -auto as its
directory-picker row; composing a backend row directly remains the pin.
The aborted exit no longer awaits close (Node queues it behind any
in-flight read, chaining the departed caller back onto the very stall
the abort escaped) — the abandoned close's failure is swallowed, it has
no consumer. Symlink stat probes race the signal too, with a
per-candidate abort check between probes, so a stalled probe target
cannot keep a departed request alive. The deferred handle cleanup after
a lost opendir race now consumes its own close failure instead of
leaking it as an unhandled rejection.
capability.list gains an optional AbortSignal threaded from the RPC
carrier's request signal (the pickDirectory pattern): a disconnected or
timed-out caller stops the opendir loop instead of the scan outliving
its caller, and the abort surfaces as its own reason rather than a
directory-unreadable dressing. boundedInsert rejects a full window's
at-or-beyond-tail candidate on one comparison and binary-inserts
retained candidates, so an oversized level no longer pays a window scan
per dirent.
The browse level now streams through opendir into a name-sorted window of
maxEntries + 1 candidates (boundedInsert), so memory stays O(maxEntries)
no matter how many children a directory holds and enterability probing
touches only windowed candidates; a windowed broken symlink is not
backfilled since the eviction already marks the level truncated.
schemastery joins the package's runtime dependencies (the source launcher
and isolated installs failed to resolve the value import). The
folder-error dialog's Choose again goes inert while the flow hole is
empty, and the withdrawal effect also keys on the open transition, so a
flow can never open over a hole nobody serves.
One list call now materializes at most maxEntries child rows (config,
default 1000 - GitHub's web-UI directory-listing bound). Candidates sort
before probing so a cut level keeps the name-sorted head and symlink
probing stops with the bound, and DirectoryListing carries a required
truncated flag on the seam and the wire so clients can state
incompleteness instead of silently missing tail entries.
- tsconfig.base.json still aliased the removed directory-picker-dialog and
offered no mapping for -native: on a clean tree, package-name imports and
source launches fell through to a missing lib/ until a build ran.
- The seam note (and the generated seam prose) no longer describe the
browse browser half as shipped here: it lands in the stacked follow-up,
and a -browse composition meanwhile shows the documented empty-hole
default (ds-review-bot).
directory-picker-browse becomes dual-face: its browser half fills
ui-workspace's two directory-flow holes with the Select Workspace Directory
dialog (figma Harness 813-23126 family — Miller two-column view, breadcrumb
with click-to-edit path zone, nested New-folder dialog), driving the node
half's host.listDirectory/host.createDirectory and owning its locale
namespace (directory-browser, zh default / en). The dialog moves here from
ui-workspace wholesale — the trigger surfaces keep only the flow-hole owner
conversation.
apps/cli flips its one directory-picker row -native -> -browse, swapping the
host backend and the client interaction together; picking now works for
remote deployments out of the box. The keyless workspace-flow snapshot boots
the browse bundle and drives menu -> dialog -> Documents -> project -> Open
against the fixture tree.
ui-workspace's two trigger surfaces each declare a single-kind directory-flow
hole (conversation.hero.workspace.directoryFlow / sidebar.workspaces.directoryFlow,
same owner contract) and keep only the trigger and the adoption: the Open-local-
folder entry renders while the surface's hole is occupied, and the occupant
reports one picked path per open through the hole's owner conversation
(open/busy/onPicked/onCancel/onError).
directory-picker-native becomes dual-face: its browser half fills both holes
with a renderless occupant driving host.pickDirectory, so the cordis.yml row
that mounts the backend also composes the client interaction — a mismatch is
impossible and a second flow package fails at client load.
With composition wiring both sides, the host.describe.directoryPicker
advertisement and the client's kind branching lose their last consumer:
the field, WorkspacesService.directoryPickerKind(), the DirectoryPickerKind
wire type, and the picker's per-open describe read are deleted. The connection
fixture now serves a deterministic pickDirectory path so the keyless snapshot
drives the full pick-then-adopt flow. ui-workspace's hand-rolled declaration
deferral is replaced by the deferRegistration helper it duplicated.
The browse interaction also presents a dialog (the in-app modal), so 'dialog'
failed to discriminate the two capability kinds; 'native' names where the
chooser runs. Package directory-picker-dialog -> directory-picker-native, kind
'dialog' -> 'native', with every seam/gateway/client/doc reference updated and
the seam Agent Note's naming rationale rewritten to match.
ds-review-bot round 2. The workspace UI never consulted the advertised
directoryPicker kind: under a browse (or merge-added) backend it still
rendered 'Open local folder…' and called pickDirectory(), which the host
answers with directory-picker-unavailable. The create flow now reads
directoryPickerKind() per menu open and renders the dialog affordance only
under 'dialog' — browse (until its in-app browser UI lands) and unknown
kinds hide the entry, realizing the seam's documented default; a keyless
workspace-flow snapshot pins the hidden entry over the browse fixture.
The browse backend also resolved wire paths, silently rebasing '' or
relative parents under the host process cwd; both primitives now reject
non-absolute explicit paths with their business codes, and the seam JSDoc
carries the contract.
The web GUI's folder picking was hardwired to one interaction: a native
OS chooser compiled into the gateway, unusable for remote deployments
and swappable only by editing apiproxy source.
Directory picking becomes a three-package capability seam in
packages/host: ctx.directoryPicker returns a discriminated capability —
dialog (the extracted native chooser; host-display only) or browse
(new: one-level listing + child creation over Node stdlib, hidden flags
host-stamped, symlinks followed, ancestry crumbs; remote-capable). The
gateway injects the seam, advertises the kind via
host.describe.directoryPicker, serves host.listDirectory /
host.createDirectory under browse, and answers
directory-picker-unavailable across kinds. cordis.yml is the swap
point; apps/cli keeps dialog mounted, so behavior is unchanged until
the in-app browser PR flips the default. The connection fixture serves
a deterministic browse tree; WorkspacesService gains the browse calls
the browser UI will drive. Decision record:
