feat: Phase 3 — MCP header fallback, LIKE-based consent window, and auth token fix for dsh integration

- X-Oikos-Session-Id header → context fallback for _session_id
- sessionIDFromArgsOrContext() reads from args, then header
- AssentWindowActive falls back to session-ID-only LIKE lookup
- windowActiveLike() for LIKE-pattern autonomy_settings queries
- mcpBearerToken: package-level resolved token replaces os.Getenv() in decide_approval
- Bump 0.36.0 → 0.37.0

# dsh-as-agent: replace nomos with DeepSeek Harness
**Date:** 2026-08-16
**Status:** Active
**Scope:** `cmd/nomos/` → dsh sidecar; oikos stays as Go backend behind MCP
## 1. Summary
Replace the nomos agent (`cmd/nomos/`, ~5,500 LOC) with [DeepSeek Harness](https://github.com/deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness) (dsh), a TypeScript/Cordis agent harness where everything is a plugin — model adapters, tool registry, agent loop, session log, Web UI. dsh runs as a Node.js sidecar alongside the oikos API, connecting via the existing MCP interface (67+ tools). Custom dsh plugins bridge oikos's Postgres-backed session model, policy engine, and approval gating.
oikos-web (Svelte 5 SPA) is replaced by dsh's built-in Web UI. The Go backend remains untouched — dsh is purely an agent/UI replacement.
## 2. Session persistence: Postgres vs dsh SQLite
dsh ships with `@deepseek-ai/dsh-session` backed by JSONL or SQLite (event-sourced log). oikos uses flat Postgres tables (`agent_sessions`, `agent_messages`, `agent_activity`, `session_plan_steps`, etc.) with ~2,200 lines of domain logic in `internal/nomos/session/store.go`.
| | dsh SQLite (default) | oikos Postgres |
|---|---|---|
| **Model** | Event-sourced: every event appended, `deriveMessages()` projects model history | Flat: typed tables, aggregate columns (message_count, tool_call_count), precomputed views |
| **Tightness with oikos data** | dsh owns session data in isolation; oikos backend cannot JOIN across sessions→entities | Session data lives in oikos Postgres alongside entities, executions, knowledge, events — one FK graph |
| **Cross-cutting queries** | dsh would need its own API for "all sessions touching host X" | `SELECT ... FROM agent_messages JOIN entities ...` works directly — no bridge |
| **Auto-upsert knowledge** | dsh would replicate nomos's `autoUpsertKnowledge` logic | Direct `INSERT INTO knowledge_entities` in the same DB — atomic, no network hop |
| **Agent activity/audit** | dsh would replicate `agent_activity` table writes | Already exists: `agent_activity` with entity FK, tool_name, success, duration, tokens |
| **Plan + execution linking** | dsh would replicate `nomos_plan_executions` join table | Already exists: `executions``session_plan_steps``agent_sessions` |
| **dsh ecosystem compatibility** | Full — dsh's event-sourced model, built-in compaction, fork, replay, persistence seams all work out of the box | Partial — must write a custom persistence plugin implementing dsh's `session-persistence` seam against Postgres |
| **Session events (chunks, boundaries)** | dsh stores raw `assistant/chunk` and `turn/start`/`turn/end` events for faithful replay | oikos stores only the rolled-up `assistant`/`tool` messages — loses per-chunk granularity |
| **Migration cost** | None — dsh owns its storage | Medium — must write the Postgres persistence plugin (~1 week) |
| **DB schema churn** | None | Adds migration files for dsh's event-sourced log format alongside existing flat tables |
**Verdict:** Postgres is the right choice. The tight coupling with entities, knowledge, executions, and the event bus (`observability.Event` via PG `NOTIFY`) is too valuable to sever — it's what makes oikos oikos rather than a generic agent host. The cost is writing a custom `dsh-session-persistence-postgres` plugin that maps dsh's event-sourced `SessionEvent` log onto Postgres rows, while preserving enough granularity for dsh's `deriveMessages()` to reconstruct model history faithfully. The oikos flat tables (`agent_sessions`, `agent_messages`) become projections/views over the event log, maintained for backward compat with the REST API.

## 4. Phases
### Phase 1: Scaffold + MCP tool bridge (2 weeks)
**Goal:** dsh boots, connects to oikos MCP, agents run real tasks through oikos tools.
1. **Create `oikos-dsh/` monorepo** alongside `oikos-web/`
- Workspace root with pnpm, `tsconfig`, `vitest`
- `oikos-dsh/bundles/oikos-profile/` — profile YAML composing `dsh-base` + oikos plugins
- `oikos-dsh/plugins/` — custom plugins directory
2. **`@oikos/dsh-mcp-tools` plugin**
- On `apply(ctx)`: connect to oikos MCP (configured URL + token)
- Call `tools/list`, for each tool: `ctx.tools.register(mcpToolDef)`
- On execute: forward to oikos `tools/call`, stream result back
- Handle `_session_id` scoping for concurrent task isolation
- Cache tool list, invalidate on reconnect
3. **Boot dsh with the profile**
- `dsh --profile oikos`
- Validate connectivity at startup
- Run `get_entity`, `list_entities` through dsh → confirm roundtrip
4. **Port the golden evals**
- `evals/golden.yaml` → dsh vitest test suite
- Assert tool calls, completion, plan structure same as nomos
- Gate: 4/4 golden evals pass (trivial_readonly, plan_advances_on_proceed, ui_complaint_no_rerun, knowledge_preferred_over_rerun)
**Check:** `dsh` agent answers "What is the state of lxc:dns?" through oikos MCP, returns the same answer nomos would.
### Phase 2: Postgres session persistence (1.5 weeks)
**Goal:** dsh sessions write to oikos Postgres, not dsh SQLite.
1. **Design the bridging schema**
- Add `session_event_log` table: `(session_id UUID, seq INT, event_type TEXT, payload JSONB, created_at TIMESTAMPTZ)`
- This is the event-sourced log dsh needs for `deriveMessages()`
- `agent_sessions`, `agent_messages` become materialized projections — updated via triggers or application-level write-through
- `agent_activity` stays as-is for the audit/operations views
2. **`@oikos/dsh-session-pg` plugin** — implements dsh's session-persistence seam
- `subscribe("session/event")` → append row to `session_event_log`
- `subscribe("session/flush")` → commit/notify
- On load: `SELECT * FROM session_event_log WHERE session_id = $1 ORDER BY seq` → rebuild `Session`
- Session lifecycle: `session/created` → ensure row in `agent_sessions`; `session/disposed` → finalize outcome/summary
- Use oikos `pgxpool` (via Node.js `pg` module)
3. **`@oikos/dsh-task-tools` plugin** — replaces nomos's task tools
- Register `set_goal`, `propose_plan`, `update_plan_step`, `complete_task`, `ask_operator`
- Each writes directly to oikos Postgres tables (`agent_sessions`, `session_plan_steps`, `session_questions`)
- Emit oikos `observability.Event` via PG `NOTIFY` for SSE live-updates
- Mirror nomos's business logic: auto-append writeback step, refuse complete without writeback, plan generation tracking, completion ordering, auto-complete-if-plan-done safety net
4. **Verify against evals** — all golden evals pass through dsh with Postgres persistence
**Check:** Create a session in dsh, verify `agent_sessions` and `agent_messages` rows appear in oikos Postgres. Read them back from oikos REST API.
### Phase 3: Policy bridge (1 week)
**Goal:** dsh respects oikos risk classification and approval gating.
1. **`@oikos/dsh-policy` plugin**
- Listen on `tools/pre-execute` waterfall
- For each tool call: call oikos `preflight` or `classify_command` MCP tool
- Map risk class to dsh decision:
- `readonly``allow` (no gate)
- `reversible_low``allow` (auto-execute, same as nomos)
- `config_mutation` → check oikos assent window; if active → `allow`, else → `ask`
- `destructive` → check oikos destructive window; if active → `allow`, else → `ask` with typed-confirmation requirement
- `ask` returns a dsh `Interaction` — the UI shows an approval dialog; operator decides → tool continues or is denied
2. **Backend:** no changes needed — oikos MCP `classify_command` and `preflight` already exist
**Check:** A `run` call with `config_mutation` risk triggers an approval dialog in dsh UI. "Go ahead" in chat grants it.
### Phase 4: UI migration (3-4 weeks)
**Goal:** dsh Web UI replaces oikos-web.
1. **dsh Web UI basics**
- dsh ships its own Web UI: session list, chat window with tool cards, assistant chunks, turn/step boundaries
- No changes needed for basic agent chat — it works out of the box
2. **Custom ConversationNodes for oikos pages**
- **Entity Graph page** — reimplement sigma.js graph as a dsh Web Client plugin
- ConversationNode listens for tool/call events, renders entity graph
- Health/Type color mode toggle, filter presets (All, Problems, Infra)
- Port `EntityGraph.svelte`'s logic to a dsh conversation node
- **Operations page** — execution list, approval management
- Use dsh's existing `interaction` UI for approvals
- Custom node for execution history + systemctl status
- **Knowledge page** — wiki browser, search, quick-open
- dsh already has `search_knowledge` tool; add a Knowledge conversation node
- Port `WikiTree`, `WikiReader`, `WikiOverview` from oikos-web
- **Signals page** — signal list, ack/mute/resolve
- Custom node reading from oikos REST API (via dsh `agent.inject` or API call)
- **Overview/Dashboard** — fleet summary, health counts
- dsh `get_health_summary` already exists; render as dashboard cards
- **Config page** — API token, server URL, theme settings
- dsh has `settings` and `credentials` seams; hook into them
- **Desktop shell / mascot** — app launcher, dock, taskbar, Cluck mascot
- dsh has no desktop paradigm — either skip the shell or implement as a ConversationNode
- Mascot can be ported as a persistent UI element
3. **Route mapping**
| oikos-web page | dsh equivalent |
|---|---|
| Overview.svelte | Custom dashboard ConversationNode |
| EntityGraph.svelte | Custom entity-graph ConversationNode |
| Ops.svelte | Custom operations ConversationNode |
| Signals.svelte | Custom signals ConversationNode |
| Knowledge.svelte / KnowledgeBase.svelte | Custom knowledge ConversationNode |
| Config.svelte | dsh settings/credentials |
| Chat session | Built-in dsh chat window |
| Learning.svelte | Custom learning ConversationNode |
| AppStore.svelte | Custom app-store ConversationNode |
4. **CSS theme migration**
- oikos uses dark terminal aesthetic (cyberspace theme, amber/green, dithered images)
- dsh has its own light/dark theme — customize via CSS overrides in the profile
- Port the GlyphIndicator, MascotLayer, and other visual signatures
**Check:** All major oikos-web pages have a functional equivalent in dsh UI. Entity graph renders with force layout and health coloring.
### Phase 5: Experiences as plugins (ongoing)
With the bridge complete, "experiences" are standard dsh plugins registered in the profile:
| Plugin | What it does |
|---|---|
| `@oikos/dsh-incident-response` | Guided workflow: detect signal → classify → `run` remediation → verify → document with `upsert_knowledge`. Uses dsh `plan-mode` for structured steps. |
| `@oikos/dsh-infra-deploy` | Provision LXCs with blast radius visualization. Pre-flight check via `get_blast_radius`, then step-by-step `run` with approval gates. |
| `@oikos/dsh-knowledge-autosync` | Background `ctx.jobs` that periodically audits knowledge gaps (orphan docs, stale entities) and suggests upserts. |
| `@oikos/dsh-session-review` | Port the `session-review` skill from `.agents/skills/` to a dsh tool: given a session ID, analyze transcripts, compare objective to outcome, propose fixes. |
| `@oikos/dsh-fleet-dashboard` | Real-time fleet health with drill-down. Uses oikos SSE event stream + dsh Web Client custom rendering. |
Each plugin:
- Registers tools on `ctx.tools` (model-visible capabilities)
- Registers ConversationNodes on the Web Client (UI components)
- Listens on `agent/*` or `session/event` for reactive behavior
- Is independently versioned and hot-loadable via Cordis
## 5. Deleted code
On completion of Phases 1-3, the following oikos code is decommissioned:
- `cmd/nomos/` — entire directory (~5,500 LOC): agent.go, server.go, mcp.go, store.go (the old flat store), assent.go, continue.go, tasks.go, turngate.go, messagequeue.go, retrycap.go, plus tests
- `nomos/` — SOUL.md, config.yaml, skills/
- `internal/nomos/session/` — moved to dsh plugin, but the domain types and some logic may be extracted into a shared `oikos-dsh` npm package
- `internal/httpapi/` chat-related endpoints — replaced by dsh's own agent session endpoints
- `compose/web/` — web service in docker-compose (served oikos-web SPA)
- `desktop/` — Wails desktop wrapper (dsh Web UI is a PWA, no native wrapper needed)
The following oikos code stays:
- `internal/httpapi/` — REST API for entities, executions, knowledge, signals, health
- `internal/mcp/` — the 67+ MCP tools (now serving dsh instead of nomos)
- `internal/policy/` — risk classification engine
- `internal/scheduler/` — health checks, metrics, probes
- `internal/secrets/` — Infisical/SOPS integration
- `internal/nomos/assent/`, `internal/nomos/session/` domain types (may be extracted to shared package)
## 6. Migration path
The cutover is a rolling deployment:
1. **Deploy dsh alongside nomos** — both agent runtimes run in parallel during development. `compose/dsh/` joins the docker-compose stack.
2. **Port the UI incrementally** — dsh UI and oikos-web coexist on different ports: dsh on `:3080`, oikos-web on `:3000`. The Caddy reverse proxy routes `/chat/*` and `/` to dsh during testing.
3. **Switch the default route** — once dsh passes all golden evals and the UI covers the main pages, Caddy routes all traffic to dsh. oikos-web becomes available at `/legacy` during the transition.
4. **Cleanup** — remove `cmd/nomos/`, `compose/web/`, `oikos-web` repo (or archive).
## 7. Risks
| Risk | Mitigation |
|---|---|
| **dsh breaking changes** — dev preview, no semver | Pin a specific git commit + `pnpm-lock.yaml`. Pin in VERSION file. Stretch: fork the core packages we depend on. |
| **Session persistence bridge lag** — dsh expects event-sourced model, oikos has flat tables | Accept dual-write during migration. The `session_event_log` table feeds dsh's `deriveMessages()`; legacy `agent_messages` stays for REST API backward compat until all consumers migrate. |
| **UI migration scope** — entity graph, desktop shell, mascot are non-trivial ports | Start with chat + operations (90% of daily use). Entity graph and mascot come after. The old oikos-web stays readable during transition. |
| **Golden eval regressions** — subtle behavioral differences between nomos and dsh agent loops | Run evals in CI on every dsh change. Nomos stays deployed until evals pass at parity. |
| **Team TS inexperience** — you said TS is OK, but ramp-up for Go developers | Start with small plugins (MCP bridge is ~200 LOC). The dsh extension cookbook is well-documented. |
| **Performance** — every tool call crosses TS → HTTP → Go | Same architecture as nomos (which also crossed HTTP). Latency is the same. The MCP server is fast (no serialization overhead beyond JSON). |
| **oikos-web features not supported by dsh UI** — desktop shell, window management, mascot | Assess during Phase 4. If the desktop paradigm is essential, implement it as a dsh conversation node (which can render any HTML/CSS) rather than maintaining two UIs. |
