Architecture

DSH TUI-HUD brings deep observability directly into the developer's native terminal environment. Context-switching between the terminal and browser GUIs breaks engineering flow state and drains cognitive focus. This plugin implements a terminal user interface (TUI) powered by Ink and Blessed. It partitions the terminal into functional panels: live-streaming thinking logs, syntax-highlighted diff buffers, sandbox resource graphs, and accurate token cost calculations. Fully navigable via Vim keybindings, it provides the ultimate hacker HUD for terminal power users.

Architectural Principles & Constraints

01
Strict Type Isolation

Guaranteed by TypeScript compile-time contracts, inter-plugin event bus calls enjoy zero-drift safety.

02
Sub-Millisecond Hot Reload

Supports dynamic runtime mounting and graceful unloading without restarting the primary host process.

03
Deterministic State Machine

Embeds multi-phase execution lifecycle guards, preventing context loss during long-horizon reasoning.

04
Zero Native Build Dependencies

Designed for lightweight cross-platform environments, booting instantly across Node.js, Bun, and Deno.

Core Features

01
Zero GUI Dependencies: Runs flawlessly over lightweight SSH terminal sessions and servers
02
Real-Time Cost & Token Gauges: Live readout of generation speeds and accumulated dollar cost
03
Sandbox Resource Telemetry: Tracks active subprocess PIDs, CPU utilization, and RAM watermarks
04
Ergonomic Vim Navigation: Smooth panel focus switching, log folding, and in-terminal search

Core Workflow

01

TUI Canvas Initialization

Hooks terminal ANSI escape buffers, building responsive split-pane layouts.

02

Telemetry Stream Ingestion

Consumes Cordis performance metrics and token streams via ring buffers.

03

Dynamic Waveform Rendering

Plots ASCII resource graphs and streams syntax-highlighted code blocks.

04

Keyboard-First Navigation

Provides Vim navigation (`j/k`, `tab`, `/`) to scroll, focus, or suspend tasks.

Use Cases

Enterprise Production Agent

Relies on microkernel lifecycle guards and fault-tolerant state machines for continuous reliability.

SWE-bench Benchmark Evaluation

Native integration with SWE-bench workflows, automatically capturing diffs and verification metrics.

Autonomous Code Refactoring

Separates reasoning from tool actions to independently locate and refactor multi-file codebases.

Cross-Tool Workflow Automation

Safely orchestrates events across sandboxes to seamlessly link enterprise developer tooling.

Best Practices

01
Sandbox Permission Guard

Strictly isolate sub-process calls and network scope; deploy within Docker containers in production.

02
Exponential Backoff Retries

Configure adaptive exponential retries with strict timeouts to mitigate upstream model rate limits.

03
Session State Checkpointing

Persist state machine snapshots to survive hardware interruptions and resume instantly without loss.

04
Full Trajectory Audit Logs

Enable full trace logging, aggregating reasoning thought streams and tool I/O into your observability hub.

FAQ

Q1:How to handle timeouts in long-running autonomous tasks?

Increase the timeout parameter inside your YAML configuration and dispatch periodic heartbeat signals across the Cordis event bus. For long-running tool execution and model reasoning, configure persistent session snapshotting so suspended tasks can safely resume their exact context after interruptions, preventing the kernel from recycling active agent sessions prematurely.

Q2:How to capture and stream the model reasoning thought process?

The harness runtime natively provides end-to-end streaming hooks while its state machine automatically intercepts and strips <think> reasoning tags from model responses. Subscribe directly to the onThink event listener to consume live reasoning token streams in real-time, delivering typewriter animation to the user interface while persisting full trajectories for audit compliance.

Q3:How to resolve dependency conflicts across multiple plugins?

Cordis microkernel uses directed acyclic graph topological sorting to dynamically resolve plugin dependencies. When shared services or runtime versions conflict, assign distinct isolated namespaces at the application entrypoint. Leveraging context injection alongside lazy activation ensures dependencies load strictly on-demand when tools are triggered, maintaining system stability and preventing memory bloat.

Q4:How to enforce permissions and sandbox isolation in production?

Combine isolated container sandboxing with fine-grained capability checks to prevent plugins from accessing sensitive files or unauthorized external networks. Enforce explicit runtime system call whitelisting through the microkernel, executing all third-party tool scripts inside isolated ephemeral containers to block arbitrary code execution and eliminate security privilege escalation risks entirely.
