Summary

Adds DeepSeek Harness (dsh) as a Trellis platform: trellis init --dsh installs the Trellis workflow into a dsh project.

dsh is a skills-first, class-2 pull-based host:

  • it discovers <projectRoot>/.agents/skills (rank 200) and <projectRoot>/.dsh/skills (rank 100) natively, and the agent loads skills by name through its skill-loader tool;
  • the default web / headless profiles ship no session-start hook, so hasHooks: false and trellis-start stays a user-invocable skill;
  • there is no project-level sub-agent definition surface, so no trellis-implement / trellis-check / trellis-research agent prompts are written — those phases run inline through the workflow skills.

File map installed by --dsh

Path Content
.agents/skills/ workflow skills (trellis-before-dev, trellis-brainstorm, trellis-check, trellis-break-loop, trellis-update-spec) + bundled skills — written via the neutral resolver, byte-identical to the Codex / Gemini CLI / Pi / Kimi writes into the same shared root
.dsh/skills/ dsh-private entry skills (trellis-start / trellis-continue / trellis-finish-work), platform-resolved (--platform dsh, bare trellis-<name> skill refs)
.dsh/DSH.md operator guide

Registration

  • AITool / TemplateDir / CliFlag unions + AI_TOOLS.dsh entry (configDir: ".dsh", supportsAgentSkills: true, hasHooks: false, agentCapable: true)
  • new cmdRefPrefix member "trellis-" — dsh references other skills by bare name
  • configurators/dsh.ts + templates/dsh/ + PLATFORM_FUNCTIONS entry
  • --dsh CLI flag + InitOptions.dsh
  • docs: platform-map.md, README/README_CN platform count 21 → 22

Verification

  • pnpm typecheck ✅, pnpm lint
  • full CLI test suite: 1677/1677 pass (74 files), including new test/templates/dsh.test.ts (5 tests), a configurePlatform('dsh') integration test, .dsh managed-path cases, and the generic per-platform invariants that now cover dsh
  • end-to-end in a scratch repo: trellis init --dsh -y -u testtrellis platforms reports DeepSeek Harness (dsh), trellis update --dry-run is idempotent, trellis init --help shows --dsh

Follow-ups

  • docs-site (separate submodule repo) — the "Supported Platforms" page that lists init flags needs --dsh added; the registry-vs-docs test runs in CI and will flag it there.
  • The dsh-side skill frontmatter (name + description) matches dsh's skill-filesystem parser requirements; a final dsh-boot smoke in an initialized project is planned separately.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added DeepSeek Harness support to trellis init through the --dsh option.
    • Setup now generates shared workflow skills, DeepSeek Harness-specific skills, and an operator guide.
    • Added DeepSeek Harness compatibility across Trellis workflows, including task tracking and platform-specific skill loading.
    • Updated supported platform documentation and capability listings.
  • Documentation

    • Updated platform coverage from 21 to 22 AI coding platforms in English and Chinese documentation.

`trellis init --dsh` installs the Trellis workflow into a dsh project:

- shared workflow + bundled skills under .agents/skills/, byte-identical
  to the Codex / Gemini CLI / Pi / Kimi writes into the same root
- user-invocable entry skills (trellis-start / trellis-continue /
  trellis-finish-work) under .dsh/skills/, dsh's own highest-rank
  project skill root
- .dsh/DSH.md operator guide

dsh is a class-2 pull-based host: it discovers .agents/skills and
.dsh/skills natively and loads skills by name through its skill-loader
tool. The default web/headless profiles ship no session-start hook, so
hasHooks=false and trellis-start stays a user-invocable skill. dsh has
no project-level sub-agent definition surface, so no
trellis-implement/check/research agent prompts are written — those
phases run inline through the workflow skills.

Thanks for opening this PR. I did a second, implementation-level review against DSH 0.1.0-rc.6, then built and exercised a fuller native integration. I would like to coordinate before opening another PR so we do not create a competing implementation or mix the main and v0.7 release lines.

What we learned from a real DSH run

The initial skills-only adapter is a useful baseline, but DSH can preserve more of the Trellis experience than we first assumed:

  • DSH has continuable native subagents and exposes each agent's native DSH_SESSION_ID to its managed shell.
  • Project-local Trellis role instructions can be delivered as non-user-invocable, collision-free skills:
    trellis-agent-research, trellis-agent-implement, and trellis-agent-check.
  • The parent can dispatch those roles in DSH's default background mode and synchronize on the native subagent/end settlement event instead of blocking in the foreground or polling.
  • DSH sessions may inherit an outer CODEX_THREAD_ID; platform detection therefore has to prefer DSH_SHELL=1 + DSH_SESSION_ID so Trellis writes a dsh_<session-id>.json task pointer rather than a foreign Codex pointer.

Current design

The current design has two layers.

Trellis adapter

  • Shared workflow and bundled skills remain under .agents/skills/, rendered through the neutral resolver.
  • DSH-private entry skills and role skills live under .dsh/skills/.
  • Role skills use user-invocable: false and distinct trellis-agent-* names so they do not shadow main-session Trellis skills.
  • Implement/check roles keep the pull-based context prelude; every child is dispatched with an Active task: first line and loads exactly one role skill.
  • The workflow defaults to continuable background children, allows the main agent to do independent work, and explicitly forbids shell sleep, polling loops, job_output, and repeated agent-list polling.
  • Session identity handling prefers the native managed DSH shell over inherited outer-host variables.
  • Project dogfood scripts and installed templates are kept in sync, with regression coverage for platform precedence, template hashes, init behavior, and role frontmatter.

DSH host plugin

The host-side functionality is intentionally kept in a separate plugin rather than embedded in Trellis:

  • per-turn [workflow-state:*] breadcrumb injection;
  • native DSH session identity forwarding for plugin commands;
  • read-only /trellis-status and /trellis-finish helpers;
  • an event-driven trellis_wait tool that validates a direct continuable child, listens for its scoped subagent/end, handles cancellation/disposal, and returns only after DSH has queued the native settlement notice.

The plugin is now public at:
https://github.com/SajoLuo/dsh-trellis

One contribution question is whether upstream is comfortable documenting this as an optional companion. trellis init --dsh does not install a profile plugin itself, so before an upstream PR I would make the workflow capability-aware: use trellis_wait when available and fall back to an initial foreground dispatch when it is not, without introducing polling.

Published branches

The complete Trellis work is currently based on feat/v0.7-beta / 0.7.0-beta.3, not main:

The docs and marketplace changes are committed in their own forks. The Trellis root branch intentionally does not record fork-only submodule SHAs; those pointers should move only after the child commits are available from the upstream submodule repositories.

Verification

Trellis, in a read-only-source Linux Docker validation as the non-root node user:

  • build: pass
  • core: 344 passed, 1 skipped
  • CLI: 1802 passed, 2 skipped
  • DSH template tests: 8 passed
  • core + CLI lint: pass
  • TypeScript typecheck: pass
  • basedpyright: 0 errors (64 existing unused-import warnings)

Plugin:

  • Windows: 29/29 tests passed
  • Linux node:24-bookworm, non-root: 29/29 passed
  • npm pack --dry-run: pass, 11 published files including the MIT license

Real end-to-end DSH run:

  • initialized a clean fixture with the built trellis init --dsh;
  • completed research -> implement -> check -> spec update -> commit -> task archive -> journal;
  • three native child dispatches and three event-driven trellis_wait calls;
  • zero Start-Sleep, shell sleep, job_output, or list_agents polling;
  • correct dsh_<session-id> runtime pointer even with an inherited outer Codex environment;
  • fixture tests: 9/9 under normal Windows Node isolation and 9/9 in Linux Docker;
  • final fixture worktree clean, with no active task left behind.

The first diagnostic run also completed successfully, but it exposed the two issues above: inherited Codex identity and foreground-like sleep/poll waiting. The second run verifies both fixes.

How would you prefer to proceed?

Because this PR targets main while the fuller implementation uses the v0.7 task/session machinery, which direction would be easiest for the maintainers?

  1. Keep feat(cli): add DeepSeek Harness (dsh) as an init platform #547 as the minimal main adapter, then submit the native session/subagent/plugin-assisted behavior as a follow-up against feat/v0.7-beta;
  2. Port the full implementation back onto feat(cli): add DeepSeek Harness (dsh) as an init platform #547/main;
  3. Supersede or retarget feat(cli): add DeepSeek Harness (dsh) as an init platform #547 with the fuller v0.7 implementation.

Also, should I open the docs and marketplace PRs now, or wait until the desired Trellis base and plugin fallback contract are agreed?

I am happy to reorganize the commits or provide focused cherry-picks once the preferred direction is clear.

I am happy to reorganize the commits or provide focused cherry-picks once the preferred direction is clear.

I think option 1 is better, thank you for the contribution! As for the related bug you found( CODEX_THREAD_ID ), I will make new commits in this PR to address them.
You can submit a PR to beta branch, and after you submit the PR, it will be remerged into the main branch after I merge it.

A dsh session launched from another host inherits that host's identity —
a dsh started under Codex still carries CODEX_THREAD_ID. dsh ships no
hook, so `task.py` resolves through the shell path with no platform hint
and walks _ENV_SESSION_KEYS from the top: CODEX_THREAD_ID matched first
and Trellis wrote a foreign `codex_<thread>` pointer for dsh work.

Puts dsh first in that table. DSH_SESSION_ID is a name no other vendor
sets, so first place cannot mis-claim a non-dsh session. Also registers
`dsh` in _KNOWN_PLATFORMS so the pointer prefix resolves back to a
platform name in context metadata.

Reported by @SajoLuo from a live run against dsh 0.1.0-rc.6 (#547).

The regression case pins the ordering, not just the lookup: it sets
DSH_SESSION_ID and CODEX_THREAD_ID together with no platform hint and
fails with `codex_outer` if the entry ever moves down the table.

Also adds dsh to the workflow's inline-execution blocks. dsh has no
project-level sub-agent surface, so implement/check run in the main
session, but it was in neither the sub-agent nor the inline group — an
agent reading workflow.md on dsh found no routing block it belonged to.
The marketplace mirror is synced to match.

Thanks — option 1 works for me.

I’ll keep #547 as the minimal main integration and prepare a focused follow-up PR against feat/v0.7-beta. I’ll leave the main-side CODEX_THREAD_ID fix to this PR; the beta implementation will retain the equivalent DSH session-precedence behavior where needed.

Before opening the beta PR, I’ll finish the remaining integration cleanup: make the workflow capability-aware so trellis_wait is used only when the companion plugin is available, with a foreground dispatch fallback otherwise; remove fork-only submodule pointers and keep the marketplace mirror reproducible; align the DSH research template with Trellis’s python3/Windows rendering convention; and complete the platform spec/docs/test synchronization. I’ll then rerun the clean Linux/Windows verification and open the Trellis beta PR first, with the linked docs/marketplace companion work following as appropriate.

Thanks for coordinating this.

Keep the DSH membership check when relaxing the marker assertion.

Merged and shipped in 0.6.15 — thanks again for the review depth here.

What landed on main

The CODEX_THREAD_ID fix is in the same release. dsh now sits first in _ENV_SESSION_KEYS in .trellis/scripts/common/active_task.py. The root cause was slightly more mechanical than "detection has to prefer DSH": since dsh ships no hook, task.py resolves through the shell path with no platform hint, and _lookup_env_context_key then walks the whole table in order — so whichever vendor name matched first claimed the session. DSH_SESSION_ID is a name no other vendor sets, so first place is safe and cannot mis-claim a non-dsh session.

The regression case pins the ordering rather than the lookup: it sets DSH_SESSION_ID and CODEX_THREAD_ID together with no platform hint and asserts dsh_own. I verified it actually fails (codex_outer) when the entry is moved down the table, so it will catch a future reordering rather than just passing vacuously. You are credited as co-author on the squashed commit.

One thing that will affect your beta PR

Your report surfaced a second gap indirectly. workflow.md splits its routing sections into a sub-agent-dispatch block and an inline-execution block, and dsh was in neither — an agent reading workflow.md on dsh found no routing block it belonged to. On main I put it in the inline group, since the minimal adapter has no sub-agent surface:

[codex-inline, Kilo, Antigravity, Devin, DeepSeek Harness]

Your native implementation inverts this. With continuable native subagents and trellis_wait, dsh belongs in the sub-agent-dispatch block on the beta line, not the inline one — so expect to move it across rather than inherit the main placement when you rebase. Worth flagging now because it is a semantic conflict that a clean textual merge will not surface.

Two related notes: the marketplace mirror is enforced byte-identical to the bundled template by test/templates/trellis.test.ts, so any workflow.md change has to be mirrored in the same PR; and the block markers are consumed by the reading agent, not by a build step, so a platform missing from every block silently degrades rather than failing a test.

docs and marketplace

Please go ahead and open both now — neither repo has a beta line, both are just main.

I have already covered the stable side for the minimal adapter in 0.6.15: platform count 21 → 22 across EN and ZH, --dsh added to every Supported flags list, a DeepSeek Harness entry under "Other supported platforms", and the sub-agent count left at 18. So scope your docs PR to the beta/ pages describing the native integration and we will not collide. registry-invariants.test.ts scans the whole docs site and will tell you immediately if a page is left behind.

Happy to document dsh-trellis as an optional companion, on the contract you already proposed: trellis_wait when the plugin is present, foreground dispatch fallback when it is not, no polling either way. Keeping it a separate plugin is the right call — trellis init --dsh should not be installing a profile plugin.

Your remaining cleanup list matches what I would have asked for, including the python3/Windows rendering convention. No need to reorganize commits on our account; open the beta PR whenever the verification run is clean.

Follow-up: I ran 0.6.15 against a real dsh 0.1.0-rc.6 on macOS to verify the shipped adapter end to end, and it surfaced one more inheritance path worth flagging before you finalize the beta PR — this one is upstream of the CODEX_THREAD_ID fix and will bite the plugin harder than it bites main.

Verified working

trellis init --dsh into a clean repo, then from inside a real dsh session:

  • both skill roots are discovered natively with no registration step — trellis-start / trellis-continue / trellis-finish-work from .dsh/skills/, and the bundled skills from .agents/skills/;
  • task.py createstartcurrent completes, and the runtime pointer lands at .trellis/.runtime/sessions/dsh_session-<id>.json with the correct prefix.

Your report about the managed shell also checks out: DSH_SESSION_ID, DSH_SHELL and DSH_SESSION_JSONL all reach shell children.

I also reproduced the inherited-identity case directly, with Claude Code as the outer host instead of Codex — the dsh shell carried both DSH_SESSION_ID and an inherited CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID, and resolution correctly returned dsh_session-<id>. So the table-ordering fix holds in a live environment, not just in the unit test.

The new one: TRELLIS_CONTEXT_ID short-circuits everything

My first probe returned claude_<outer-session-id> instead of a dsh key. The fix had not failed — resolve_context_key checks TRELLIS_CONTEXT_ID before it ever reaches _ENV_SESSION_KEYS:

if allow_environment_context:
    override = _string_value(os.environ.get("TRELLIS_CONTEXT_ID"))
    if override:
        return _sanitize_key(override) or _hash_value(override)

My outer Claude Code session had TRELLIS_CONTEXT_ID set by its own Trellis hook, dsh inherited it like any other env var, and the override won. Unsetting it alone flipped the result to dsh_session-<id>.

This is by design as an explicit override — the problem is that it is inherited indiscriminately by child processes. Concretely: launch dsh from any already-active Trellis session (Claude Code, Codex, anything hook-backed) and the dsh session silently adopts the outer session's active task. No env var named after a vendor is involved, so the precedence work in _ENV_SESSION_KEYS cannot help here.

Two reasons this matters more for your branch than for main:

  1. your plugin forwards native dsh session identity for plugin commands — if the forwarding path resolves through resolve_context_key rather than reading DSH_SESSION_ID directly, an inherited override outranks the identity you are deliberately forwarding;
  2. it is invisible rather than wrong-looking. The task pointer resolves, task.py current answers, work gets attributed to a session that is not the one running it. My probe only caught it because the returned id happened to match a directory name I recognized.

I have not fixed this on main — it is a pre-existing behavior that predates dsh and changing override semantics deserves its own discussion, not a drive-by patch inside a platform PR. Flagging it so your capability-aware work can decide whether the plugin should scrub or override TRELLIS_CONTEXT_ID when it establishes a dsh session.

Minor, for your test matrix

Each dsh --profile headless invocation is a fresh session (two consecutive probes produced different session ids), so a task pointer does not persist across headless calls. Fine for the interactive profiles, but worth knowing if any fixture test drives dsh headlessly and expects an active task to survive between invocations.

Thanks for the live macOS follow-up ? the TRELLIS_CONTEXT_ID short-circuit was real, and I incorporated it before finalizing the beta follow-up.

The fix is deliberately scoped so it does not change the generic override contract for other platforms:

  • dsh-trellis now registers a managed DSH_TRELLIS_CONTEXT_ID = dsh_<session-id> through DSH's shellEnv registry for each shell execution. DSH scrubs ambient DSH_* values before rebuilding that namespace, so this identity comes from the current DSH session rather than the outer host.
  • The beta resolver checks that plugin-only managed value before the inherited generic TRELLIS_CONTEXT_ID.
  • Plugin utility-command subprocesses explicitly replace TRELLIS_CONTEXT_ID with the same current DSH key.
  • Without the optional plugin, the operator/beta docs now say to unset TRELLIS_CONTEXT_ID before launching DSH from an active Trellis host; the global explicit-override semantics remain unchanged.
  • The regression test sets TRELLIS_CONTEXT_ID=claude_outer-session, managed DSH_TRELLIS_CONTEXT_ID=dsh_inner-session, and DSH_SESSION_ID=inner-session, then asserts only dsh_inner-session.json is written.

The coordinated drafts are now open and linked:

Fresh non-root node:24-bookworm verification from the public branches is clean: build/lint/typecheck pass, basedpyright 0 errors, core 344 passed / 1 skipped, CLI 1805 passed / 2 skipped; the plugin passes 31/31 tests and npm pack --dry-run. The root clone also fetched the exact docs and marketplace PR commits from the upstream submodule repositories.

I also documented the headless behavior you observed: each invocation is treated as a fresh session, so tests must not expect an active-task pointer to persist across separate headless runs.
Update after posting: I also reran this as a focused probe in a real DSH 0.1.0-rc.6 headless session. The parent process deliberately had TRELLIS_CONTEXT_ID=claude_outer-session; the managed shell exposed a current dsh_session-* value, and resolve_context_key() returned that exact managed key rather than the outer value. The probe reported PASS.

One operational detail surfaced while refreshing the local file: plugin install: pnpm keeps a profile-local snapshot, so a source update that adds a new file requires remove + add for that profile. The packaged artifact already contained the file; I refreshed the profile, reran the live probe successfully, and documented the refresh step in the plugin README (3c2f53e).

Routes DeepSeek Harness through native sub-agent dispatch instead of the inline workflow, as the follow-up to #547 agreed in that thread.

- collision-free child-only `trellis-agent-{research,implement,check}` role skills with the pull-based context prelude; the main session never loads them itself
- capability-aware synchronization: the optional `dsh-trellis` companion's event-driven `trellis_wait` when present, initial foreground dispatch when absent, never polling or sleeping
- `trellis init --dsh` still installs no profile plugin — project-level init does not write to the user's dsh profile
- nested-host session identity: managed `DSH_TRELLIS_CONTEXT_ID` first, then `DSH_SHELL=1` plus `DSH_SESSION_ID` resolving through the canonical env table ahead of an inherited `TRELLIS_CONTEXT_ID`, with the generic override keeping its precedence everywhere else
- bundled, dogfood and marketplace workflow mirrors byte-identical

Companion changes merged first: mindfold-ai/marketplace#13 (cfb2f38), mindfold-ai/docs#31 (59d5b37). Beta docs only; stable stays as shipped in 0.6.15, where dsh runs inline.

Verified against a real dsh 0.1.0-rc.6: the `subagent` tool schema matches the dispatch instructions, the plugin-absent foreground path settles end to end, and a managed dsh shell resolves its own session identity rather than an inherited outer one.

Brings 18 commits from main, including 0.6.15, the DSH minimal adapter
(#547), and the marker-label routing fix. Beta stays on 0.7.0-beta.3 and
keeps its own submodule pointers.

Git merged three files cleanly whose *content* was contradictory, so
those are the ones worth re-reviewing:

- workflow.md: main puts dsh in the inline-execution group (#547 has no
  sub-agent surface), beta puts it in the class-2 sub-agent group (#548
  added one). Both edits applied, leaving dsh in both groups. Resolved to
  beta's semantics — dsh removed from the inline markers in the template,
  the dogfood copy and the marketplace mirror.
- dsh was registered twice: once by #547 on main and once by #548 on
  beta, in cli/index.ts, commands/init.ts and configurators/index.ts.
  Different lines each time, so no conflict was raised; tsc caught it.
  Deduped, keeping beta's wording.
- opencode.test.ts: beta's layered-workflow tests fed the plugin a bare
  {type,text} part, which #524 on main no longer accepts —
  insertSyntheticTextPart requires an ordinary part with a persisted
  identity and now emits the breadcrumb as its own part instead of
  rewriting the user's text. The tests asserted on parts[0] and silently
  saw the unmodified prompt. Rewritten against the synthetic-part
  contract; they still verify the layered resolution they were written
  for.

Declared conflicts resolved to beta for everything dsh-related and for
the version files; workflow_phase.py took main's _PLATFORM_MARKER_LABELS
table, which subsumes beta's dsh-only alias.

Verified on the merged tree rather than assumed:
- core 344 passed, cli 1825 passed, lint and tsc clean
- all 22 platforms resolve a non-empty routing block
- dsh resolves the sub-agent route, not the inline one
- built the CLI and ran `init --dsh`: 86 files, with the three
  trellis-agent-* role skills beta expects
- marketplace mirror byte-identical to the bundled template

This repository's own `.trellis/` install had drifted to 0.6.14 while the CLI
it ships moved to 0.6.16-sd.1, so the generated platform config committed here
no longer matched the templates it is generated from, and 86 of 231 receipt
entries disagreed with the files at their paths.

Diagnosis: 80 of the 86 were the bug fixed in 5a92d58 — the file on disk was
already byte-identical to its template, so `analyzeChanges` classified it
`unchanged` and the write-back never touched its entry. One `trellis update`
run now repairs all of them.

The other 6 were content differences, and they are not one thing:

  - `.trellis/workflow.md` and the four `platform-map.md` copies were **stale
    generated artifacts**, not customizations. The template gained a
    `[workflow-state:task_error]` section, and the platform map gained the
    DeepSeek Harness row from mindfold-ai#547; the committed copies predate both.
    Regenerated through `update --create-new` and adopted, so the transforms
    the real pipeline applies are the ones that produced them.

  - `.trellis/config.yaml` is genuinely repository-owned — it declares this
    monorepo's `packages:` block and `default_package: cli`. It is *correct*
    for it to differ from the template, and it is left alone. Overwriting it
    would have broken the package configuration, which is what `--force`
    would have done to it had the other five been fixed that way.

Result: 86 mismatched of 231 entries -> 1 of 254, the survivor being
config.yaml. The entry for `.opencode/package.json` is retained deliberately;
update records it as deleted-by-you so the deletion stays detectable.

Verified: `.trellis/scripts` still byte-identical to the templates
(`diff -rq` silent), 369 core + 1846 cli tests pass.

…i#547)

`trellis init --dsh` installs the Trellis workflow into a dsh project:

- shared workflow + bundled skills under .agents/skills/, byte-identical
  to the Codex / Gemini CLI / Pi / Kimi writes into the same root
- user-invocable entry skills (trellis-start / trellis-continue /
  trellis-finish-work) under .dsh/skills/, dsh's own highest-rank
  project skill root
- .dsh/DSH.md operator guide

dsh is a class-2 pull-based host with no project-level sub-agent surface,
so implement/check/research run inline through the workflow skills, and
dsh joins the inline-execution blocks in workflow.md.

Session identity: a dsh session launched from another host inherits that
host's identity, so a dsh started under Codex carried CODEX_THREAD_ID and
Trellis wrote a foreign `codex_<thread>` pointer. dsh now sits first in
_ENV_SESSION_KEYS; DSH_SESSION_ID is a name no other vendor sets.
