What works today.
One absolute cwd and one Agent per `session/new`.
Baseline text and flattened resource links.
Addressed work settles as cancelled.
Machine policy can allow or reject one retry.
What stays off the wire.
No live tokens, thinking, tool cards, plans, titles, or usage.
A new process cannot restore the prior ACP thread.
Non-empty forwarded servers and additional directories reject.
Zed can launch a custom ACP process, but that is not proof DSH is a registry-supported editor integration. Keep stdout protocol-pure and credentials outside editor settings.
A complete bridge needs three contracts.
Stream retry-safe deltas and stable tool lifecycles; resume one exact persisted Session without duplicate replay; and advertise only capabilities whose workspace, MCP, permission, trust, and billing boundaries DSH actually enforces.
Primary evidence.
Test the boundary, not the badge.
