dsh-jev-loop

dsh-jev-loop

Jev (TypeSafe System One) judgments at the DeepSeek Harness agent-loop gates. No UI dependency: mount it in any Harness composition, headless or otherwise.

This is the core of the Jev loop for moqi. The optional /JevLoop control panel ships separately as moqi-jev-loop, and depends only on the jevLoop service this package provides.

Published to npm as dsh-jev-loop. This repository carries the dsh-plugin topic — the whole of the dshfind listing mechanism: the marketplace indexes public repositories by that topic and syncs daily, so there is no listing step per release.

Install

dsh plugin --profile 
 add dsh-jev-loop

Then give it a key: set TYPESAFE_API_KEY (or TYPESAFE_APIKEY) in the environment, or store one in the Harness credential store under TYPESAFE_API_KEY. The gates fail open — no key, timeout, 429, or bad JSON never blocks the loop.

The gates

Gate	Event	What Jev judges	Decision
Pre-step	agent/pre-step	is the request underspecified?	inject an "ask before guessing" instruction
Pre-execute	tools/pre-execute	destructive · exfiltration · off-task	log / ask / deny
Post-execute	tools/post-execute	did a successful call silently miss?	log / block with corrective feedback
Turn-stopping	agent/turn-stopping	"is the request actually done?"	nudge the turn onward, or pass

All four are automatic. Jev supplies a calibrated probability; this package owns the thresholds and decisions, and every failure — no key, timeout, 429, bad JSON — fails open, so a judgment service that is down never blocks the loop.

Configure them on the dsh-jev-loop row in a profile's cordis.patch.yml (see this package's cordis.patch.yml), or in a profile's own patch layer. The *Enabled defaults can also be overridden at runtime from moqi's /JevLoop panel, which persists to $DSH_HOME/jev-loop.json.

Cost envelope

• One POST /v1/systemone per judgment; pre-execute asks its three hazards in a single call.
• State is capped (maxStateChars); the transcript gates only send the last turnStoppingMaxMessages messages.
• Answers are cached by a SHA-256 of the exact request body, so an unchanged judgment is free.
• Every judgment is appended to $DSH_HOME/jev-loop.jsonl with probabilities, cache hit/miss, latency, and token usage.

Config

Set on the dsh-jev-loop row in a bundle patch, or in a profile's own patch layer.

Field	Default	Meaning
apiKey	—	literal key; prefer apiKeyEnv so no secret is in a config file
apiKeyEnv	TYPESAFE_API_KEY	env var read for the key; TYPESAFE_APIKEY is also read
model	jev-latest	TypeSafe model alias
baseUrl	https://api.typesafe.ai/v1/systemone	evaluation endpoint
timeoutMs	3000	per-request timeout
maxRetries	2	retries on 429/529, network errors, timeouts
maxStateChars	24000	hard cap on state sent to Jev
cacheEntries	500	in-memory cache entries
auditPath	$DSH_HOME/jev-loop.jsonl	JSONL audit trail
statePath	$DSH_HOME/jev-loop.json	persisted gate toggles
preStepEnabled	false	judge the request before the first step
preStepThreshold	0.7	clarification probability that injects a question
preExecuteEnabled	true	judge tool calls before dispatch
preExecuteMode	log	log observes, ask requests approval, deny refuses
preExecuteThreshold	0.7	hazard probability that flags a call
preExecuteSkip	[]	tool names to ignore
postExecuteEnabled	true	check a successful tool result
postExecuteMode	log	log observes, block turns feedback into an error
postExecuteThreshold	0.7	miss probability that blocks a result
turnStoppingEnabled	true	check the turn before it closes
turnStoppingThreshold	0.5	completion probability below which to nudge
turnStoppingMaxSteers	2	nudges per turn, so a wrong judgment cannot loop
turnStoppingMaxMessages	14	transcript messages fed to the completion judgment

Test it

npm install            # typescript + @types/node
npm run link-harness   # symlink the installed harness's @deepseek-ai packages
npm run build
npm test               # gates, keyring, loop — no Harness, no network
npm run install-profile -- jev-core   # throwaway profile with just this bundle
TYPESAFE_APIKEY=… dsh --profile jev-core

~/.dsh/jev-loop.jsonl records every judgment.

To exercise the Harness-only build inside your own profile, list just the core bundle:

bundles: ['@deepseek-ai/dsh-base', 'dsh-jev-loop']
