17. Configuration

No hardcoded tunables anywhere the harness can configure them. The table below is the complete host-plane list (the config schema in src/index.ts); the comment header of the shipped cordis.patch.yml (inside node_modules/@treeseed/dsh-chapters/) mirrors the schema and is the in-repo reference, but this page is kept current with the code.

Two planes. config (below) is the host plane — your profile’s plugin entry. The compaction engine lives on the realm plane: the chapters agent-preset row (presets/chapters/agent.cordis.yml), which owns thresholdRatio, retainRatio/retainTokens, maxTokens, compactionRetries/maxOverflowRetries, summarizationProvider/summarizationModel (legacy override), enrichmentTrigger (afterPush|idle|both|manual), elicitedPlot, and toolResultArtifactTokens. Shared names behave per plane — design record §12.

Key Default Meaning
harnessId hostname this machine’s identity: commit author, curation partition, rule authorship
knowledgeRemote '' pre-bind an upstream (else /chapters-link)
knowledgeProvider auto transport policy: auto dispatches on the remote scheme (treedx+ → TreeDX, else git); an explicit git/treedx must match the scheme or the link refuses
projectKeyOverride '' wins over the remote-derived project key
syncDebounceMs 30000 coalesce window for post-archive pushes
treedxFetchTimeoutMs / treedxWorkspaceTtlSeconds / treedxLeaseRetries / treedxLeaseRetryDelayMs 15000 / 900 / 3 / 1000 TreeDX transport tunables (fetch timeout, workspace TTL, lease retry count and delay)
enrichmentEnabled true false makes the whole P2 ladder a pure no-op — corpus stays fully working
enrichmentModel '' (conversation route) the annotator override
enrichmentIdleMs / enrichmentBatchCap 60000 / 5 idle trigger; chapters per drain
vocabApply false shadow (default) vs git-visible topic curation
vocabCoMin / vocabOverlapMin 3 / 0.5 trust thresholds for emergent vocabulary
coreRulesBudgetTokens 1200 the CORE RULES block in notices — refuses with numbers, never clips
rulesCoreBonus 0.15 per-machine rank bonus for core-approved rules
continuationBudgetRatio 0.25 TOC + note share of the window remaining after the header
chapterTokenTarget / chapterLimit 8000 / 8000 soft per-chapter size / hard split
mergeThreshold 0.3 turn→chapter topic-merge τ (archive-time only)
toolResultDeferFloorTokens 200 archive-time inline/defer floor (realm toolResultArtifactTokens is the arrival floor — keep it above your chunk size: below it, stubs hide compaction and thresholds silently stop firing — measured)
artifactStoreRoot .dsh-chapters workspace store (must be read-reachable)
installChaptersPreset true copy preset into .agent-presets/ at boot (never clobbers your edits)
fallbackPreset chapters mounted for children when the caller’s preset can’t be resolved
searchDefaultMaxTokens 400 chapters_search result-packing budget
