The extras control accepts a file — the field and its label said so — and the
listing under it could not show one, because the Host primitive behind the picker
browses folders and nothing else. So a grant for a single file meant typing its
name exactly, which is the one thing a listing exists to avoid.
The Host has a second lister and it does return files: `remote.workspaceFiles.list`,
the same listing behind the sidebar's own file tree, confined to the session's
workspace. The extras picker now takes that one while the level is inside the
session folder — which is where an extra usually is — and falls back to the folder
lister above it, saying so in the dialog rather than letting file rows vanish. The
focus picker never offers files: a focus is a folder, so a file row there would
offer something that cannot be chosen.
The two listings normalise into one level shape, so the picker does not care which
answered, and a row now carries its type: a folder is a way down, a file is a
thing to take. Clicking a file fills the path field and marks the row, and the
footer adds it in declared form. Pressing Enter on a name the level already lists
is no longer reported as a failure — the path is exactly what the dialog is for.
Everything stays additive: with no workspace file service, or above the session
folder, the picker lists folders exactly as before.
"Add folder or path" promised one thing and offered another: the listing is
folders only, because the Host's browse primitive has no file rows, while the
extras legitimately name files — `../../CONTROLLER.md` is the example the panel
itself gives.
The action is "Add path or file", its field is "Path or file", and the hint says
which of the two the list can show and how the other one is added. Nothing about
the interaction moved; the copy was the part that was wrong.
Both scope controls were free-text boxes, and the vocabulary they asked the user
for is paths relative to the session folder. "Which folder is `../shared`" is the
one question a text box cannot answer, so the panel now shows the Host's own
directory: the `uiWorkspace.listDirectory` primitive the workspace picker's
browser drives, one level of child folders, a breadcrumb trail, and a
hidden-entries toggle. The path field stays editable inside the picker, because
the Host lists folders and an extra may legitimately name a file.
Picks are stored in the form that keeps their meaning. A folder at
`/work/root/src/shared` is declared `src/shared` when the session started in
`/work/root`, and `../shared` going up; only a path with nothing shared — another
drive, another tree — stays absolute. The Focus row shows that declared form,
with the resolved path in its title, which is what the agent will see.
`Set` is gone with the box it committed: the panel writes on pick, as every other
control here already did. `Clear` stays, because empty means the session folder —
the schema's own default rather than an override naming the same place.
The card was 380px wide and grew without bound, a single column of prose taller
than the viewport. It is 760px now, with a two-column grid that `auto-fit`
collapses to one on a narrow card, the reference prose folded into `<details>`,
and a scroll-bounded body. `Modal` sizes its own card from a hashed class in the
primitives' stylesheet, so this bundle installs one small stylesheet of its own
and outranks that rule with a doubled class selector — no `!important`, and
nothing reaching into a class name it does not own.
Two fixes came with it. The footer's "Deployment mode:" line read a slot prop
that never carried the mode, so it said "ask" in every deployment; it reads the
settings document now. And `uiWorkspace` is resolved with `ctx.get` at the call
rather than injected, because the panel is still the only way to declare scope in
a deployment with no directory browser: it keeps the panel and says what it
cannot do, instead of losing the button.
The per-session scope the host half now reads had no writer. This is it: a
crosshair on the composer tool row, present only in sessions running the facet
preset, opening a panel that sets the focus and the paths allowed outside it.
The gate is the session's own `agentPreset` projection rather than anything
inferred from the URL or from the plugin being installed, so a control for a
plugin that is not running never appears.
It writes through the settings document — the same one the plugin card edits —
because `settings.mutate` accepts a path under a volatile node and refuses
anything else. That is what makes the split real rather than aspirational: the
agent has no write path to `scopes`, and the panel's write is the only one that
can widen a session.
The panel also carries the mode details and the usage notes, which the preset
picker's guide dialog cannot show for a preset no core package ships — its
guide table holds four shipped ids and is looked up only for built-ins.
Also adds `@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-conversation` to the client half's inject
list: registering into `conversation.input.left` is a dependency on the package
that declares it, and `slots.inject` waits for a slot rather than creating one,
so naming another package's slot without loading it first registers nothing —
silently, because nothing errors.
The facet root was the session's working directory and nothing else, so the
only way to scope a conversation to a module was to make the module a
workspace — and the only way to reach anything outside it was `extraRoots`,
which is a fact about the deployment rather than about one conversation.
Scope now has two layers, and the split is the point. The **user layer** is
`config.scopes[sessionId]` — a `focus` and a list of `extras`, written only
from the browser context panel through the settings service, which is what
`settings.mutate` requiring a volatile path buys us. The **agent layer** is in
memory: a narrowing `focus` and its grants. Both can only ever reduce what the
user layer allows, so an agent that goes wrong cannot widen its own scope.
`facet action=focus` is therefore the one scope change the agent may make
unasked, bounded by the scope already in force and decided on canonical targets.
`reset` clears the agent's side only, landing on the user's declaration rather
than on the session directory — landing on the directory would have made
`reset` a widening. `extraRoots` demotes to an optional deployment-wide seed.
The binding now names the context panel as the way to widen, because it is: in
a deployment with no approval channel, `facet action=add` cannot be granted at
all.
The `volatile()` markers made the Host serve the namespace, and that was as
far as it went: the Plugins page does not build a card from a `Config` schema.
It draws only what browser halves register into the slots it declares, which is
why dsh-slopo, dsh-recall and dsh-context all ship a `client/` — and why this
plugin, with two served fields, still showed nothing.
The card registers into `plugins.bundle.config` while
`configForms.whileServed` reports the namespace served. The two keys are
deliberately different strings and that is the trap in the file: the settings
document is filed under the profile entry id (`facet-policy`) while the card is
keyed by the package name (`dsh-facet`). Every sibling plugin happens to name
them identically. Binding the form to the wrong one yields a card that renders,
saves, and writes nowhere, so `test/client.test.js` pins both, holds the card's
field list to the schema's volatile fields, and refuses to register at all when
the namespace is not served.
