+description: "Every module and every public export of @smthrs/std: the flow modules, the six injectable services, their implementations, the search contract, the registries, and the error type."
+sidebar:
+  order: 1
+---
+
+The package exports 32 modules. Each is reachable from the root entry point as a
+namespace and from its own subpath:
+
+```ts
+import { Read } from "@smthrs/std"
+import * as Read from "@smthrs/std/Read"
+```
+
+`@smthrs/std/internal/*` and `@smthrs/std/<Module>/index` are not public.
+
+Host child processes receive only `PATH`, `HOME`, `USER`, `LANG`, `LC_*`,
+`TERM`, `TMPDIR`, and `SHELL` from the Smithers process, plus names explicitly
+declared by the caller. Credential-shaped ambient names are withheld; an
+explicit declaration is applied last and therefore opts that name in.
+
+For the input and output fields of each flow, see the
+[Flow reference](./reference/flows.md). This page is the module and export
+surface.
+
+## Example
+
+```ts
+import { NodeServices } from "@effect/platform-node"
+import * as Read from "@smthrs/std/Read"
+
+const page = await Effect.runPromise(
+  Effect.provide(Read.run({ path: "./README.md", limit: 20 }), NodeServices.layer)
+)
+console.log(page.content, page.totalLines, page.truncated)
+```
+
+## The flow modules
+
+Seventeen modules declare a flow. Every one of them exports the same names:
+
+| Export         | Type                                     | Meaning                                  |
+| -------------- | ---------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
+| `name`         | string literal                           | The registry name.                       |
+| `description`  | string                                   | The one line the model sees.             |
+| `Input`        | `Schema` and the decoded type            | The input schema.                        |
+| `Output`       | `Schema` and the decoded type            | The output schema.                       |
+| `effects`      | `Effects.Declaration`                    | The declared envelope, before any input. |
+| `effectsFor`   | `(input) => Effects.Declaration`         | The envelope narrowed to one input.      |
+| `capabilities` | `ReadonlyArray<string>`                  | `action:resource` strings.               |
+| `flow`         | `Flow`                                   | The declaration, built by `Flow.make`.   |
+| `run`          | `(input) => Effect<Output, StdError, R>` | The handler.                             |
+
+The modules are `ApplyPatch`, `Bash`, `Edit`, `Explore`, `Fetch`, `Glob`,
+`Grep`, `HttpPost`, `Ls`, `Lsp`, `Read`, `ShellCommand`, `TestRun`,
+`UpdatePlan`, `WebFetch`, `WebSearch`, and `Write`.
+
+Some of them export more than the common nine:
+
+| Module         | Additional exports                                                                          |
+| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `Bash`         | `DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS`, `elideMiddle(start, droppedBytes, end)`                               |
+| `Explore`      | `make(options: { model?: string })`, and no `run`                                           |
+| `Grep`         | `ContextLine`, `Symbol`, `Match` schemas                                                    |
+| `Read`         | `MAX_READ_FILE_BYTES`, the 64 MiB bound past which `read` refuses a file                    |
+| `ShellCommand` | `DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS`, `MAX_CAPTURE_BYTES`, `DEFAULT_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS`, `TIMEOUT_EXIT_CODE` |
+| `TestRun`      | `scratchDirectory`, `DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS`, `MAX_CAPTURE_BYTES`, `Outcome`                    |
+| `UpdatePlan`   | `StepStatus`, `Plan`                                                                        |
+| `WebSearch`    | the `WebSearch` service, `make`, `makeNoop`, `layerNoop`                                    |
+
+A runner declared with `baseline: false` refuses `against: "base"` before
+running any process. The native CLI sets this flag until an isolated staging
+provider is available ([#3234](https://github.com/smithersai/smithers/issues/3234)). Workspace tests still use the confined runner. Library
+hosts that omit the flag keep baseline Git on their caller-provided spawner.
+The runner wrapper uses `bash -c` and does not execute host login profiles.
+
+## Manifest
+
+The whole library keyed by registry name. Every registry is frozen.
+
+| Export       | Type                                 | Meaning                                    |
+| ------------ | ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------ |
+| `flows`      | record of name to declaration        | All 17 declarations.                       |
+| `handlers`   | record of name to handler            | The 16 that have one; `explore` is absent. |
+| `effectsFor` | record of name to narrowing function | All 17, including `explore`.               |
+| `names`      | readonly tuple of 17 names           | Registry order.                            |
+| `readOnly`   | readonly tuple of 8 names            | The read-only projection.                  |
+
+```ts
+import * as Manifest from "@smthrs/std/Manifest"
+
+Manifest.names // ["read", "write", "edit", "ls", "glob", "grep", "bash", ...]
+Manifest.readOnly // ["read", "ls", "glob", "grep", "fetch", "explore", "webfetch", "lsp"]
+```
+
+## StdError
+
+The single typed failure every handler uses.
+
+| Export     | Type                                    | Meaning                                                                                                                              |
+| ---------- | --------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `Code`     | `Schema.Literals` and the matching type | The closed list of failure codes.                                                                                                    |
+| `StdError` | `Schema.TaggedError` class              | `{ code, message, path?, base_digest?, current_digest?, method?, rpcError?, stderr?, limitMillis? }`, tagged `@smthrs/std/StdError`. |
+
+```ts
+import * as StdError from "@smthrs/std/StdError"
+
+const failure = new StdError.StdError({
+  code: "not_found",
+  message: "File not found: /workspace/missing.ts",
+  path: "/workspace/missing.ts"
+})
+```
+
+The codes are listed in the [Flow reference](./reference/flows.md#failures).
+
+Every service key, error tag, and class identifier in this package is
+`@smthrs/std/<Name>`, so `Effect.catchTag("@smthrs/std/StdError", ...)` catches
+every handler failure.
+
+## Probe
+
+Telling an invalid probe from a failing check. A non-zero exit is a runner's
+verdict about the code it ran, not about the command it was handed.
+
+| Export             | Type                                                                                         | Meaning                                                                                     |
+| ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `key`              | `"invalidProbe"`                                                                             | The reserved output key a flow reports one under.                                           |
+| `Reason`           | `Schema.Literals` and the matching type                                                      | `unknown-command`, `unknown-test`, `unknown-path`, `unknown-module`, `unknown-environment`. |
+| `InvalidProbe`     | `Schema.Struct` and the matching type                                                        | `{ reason, evidence, message }`.                                                            |
+| `Attribution`      | `{ to, executed?, invalidProbe? }`                                                           | What one result was attributed to: the tree, or one of the five.                            |
+| `CONFIDENCE_FLOOR` | `0.7`                                                                                        | The confidence an attribution needs before it outranks the tree.                            |
+| `MAX_OUTPUT_BYTES` | `32768`                                                                                      | The most output bytes one judgment carries, newest kept.                                    |
+| `probeAttribution` | `Classifier` `probe/attribution`                                                             | The classifier `classify` asks: `attribution` choice, `executed` boolean.                   |
+| `classify`         | `(result: { command, exitCode, output }) => Effect<Attribution, ClassifierError, Evaluator>` | Attributes one command result, with Jev.                                                    |
+| `unjudged`         | `(error: ClassifierError) => StdError`                                                       | The standard-flow failure a judge that did not answer is.                                   |
+
+```ts
+import * as Probe from "@smthrs/std/Probe"
+
+const attribution = yield * Probe.classify({ command: "pytest tests/x.py::nope", exitCode: 4, output })
+// { to: "unknown-test", executed: false, invalidProbe: { reason: "unknown-test", ... } }
+```
+
+The attribution is Jev's: `classify` asks `probeAttribution`, the exported
+`probe/attribution` declaration, through the `Evaluator` service of
+[`@smthrs/model`](/api/model), so a host needs a bound evaluator on a
+subscription seat. A zero exit is attributed to the tree without the judge. All non-zero exits,
+including 126 and 127, need attribution: a runner can choose those codes after
+executing a check. An answer below
+`CONFIDENCE_FLOOR` is the tree's failure, which leaves a genuine reproduction
+intact. There is no third path: when the judge does not answer, `unjudged`
+turns its failure into the caller's typed failure rather than a guess.
+
+## Search
+
+The implementation seam behind `grep` and `glob`.
+
+| Export        | Type                                | Meaning                                                                      |
+| ------------- | ----------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `Search`      | interface and `Context.Service` tag | `{ grep, glob }`.                                                            |
+| `make`        | `(service: Search) => Search`       | Builds a peer from its two operations.                                       |
+| `makeNoop`    | `() => Search`                      | Fails both calls with `provider_unavailable`.                                |
+| `layerNoop`   | `Layer<Search>`                     | Provides `makeNoop`.                                                         |
+| `GrepInput`   | interface                           | Normalized grep input, with every option resolved.                           |
+| `GrepOutput`  | interface                           | `matches`, `files`, `filesSearched`, `skippedBinary`, `truncated`, `notice`. |
+| `GrepLine`    | interface                           | One row a peer produces before grouping: `file`, `line`, `text`, `kind`.     |
+| `GrepMatch`   | interface                           | One hit with its `before`, `after`, and `symbol`.                            |
+| `ContextLine` | interface                           | `line`, `text`.                                                              |
+| `Symbol`      | interface                           | `kind`, `name`, `startLine`, `endLine`.                                      |
+| `GlobInput`   | interface                           | `pattern`, `root`, `hidden`, `limit`.                                        |
+| `GlobOutput`  | interface                           | `paths`, `total`, `truncated`, `notice`.                                     |
+
+Both operations return `Effect<_, StdError>` with no requirement, so a peer
+resolves its own services when it is built.
+
+## PortableSearch
+
+The in-process peer. Walks the injected `FileSystem`, so it needs no external
+binary and is browser-safe.
+
+| Export     | Type                                                                                                                                   |
+| ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `make`     | `(services: Context<FileSystem \| Path>) => Search.Search`                                                                             |
+| `layer`    | `Layer<Search.Search, never, FileSystem \| Path>`                                                                                      |
+| `searched` | `(input: Pick<GrepInput, "root" \| "hidden" \| "noIgnore" \| "globs">) => Effect<ReadonlyArray<string>, StdError, FileSystem \| Path>` |
+
+`searched` names the files `grep` reads for an input, in the order it reads
+them; `RemoteSearch` fetches exactly those.
+
+## NativeSearch
+
+The peer that drives the `rg` executable through the permission-aware spawner.
+
+| Export              | Type                                                                                                                              | Meaning                                                            |
+| ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `MAX_CAPTURE_BYTES` | `67_108_864`                                                                                                                      | Bytes captured from either `rg` stream before the call is refused. |
+| `make`              | `(services: Context<FileSystem \| Path \| ChildProcessSpawner>, environment?: Readonly<Record<string, string>>) => Search.Search` |                                                                    |
+| `layer`             | `Layer<Search.Search, never, FileSystem \| Path \| ChildProcessSpawner>`                                                          |                                                                    |
+
+An overflow is `command_failed` rather than a truncation, because a partial
+ripgrep stream could make this peer disagree with the portable one. A failure to
+start `rg` is `provider_unavailable`. The default layer uses the host environment
+allowlist. `make` accepts explicit environment declarations as its second
+argument; those names override the allowlist.
+
+## RemoteSearch
+
+The peer for a tree on another machine, such as a container or a sandbox
+machine. It lists the root with the machine's `find`, brings back its
+`.gitignore` files and then the files the search reads with `tar`, and lets
+`PortableSearch` answer over that copy, so every result, notice, and refusal is
+the in-process peer's. Each search is two round trips through the machine's
+spawner, whatever the tree's size.
+
+| Export     | Type                                                                                                 | Meaning                                                                      |
+| ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `maxBytes` | `268_435_456`                                                                                        | The most file content one search brings back; past it, `response_too_large`. |
+| `make`     | `(services: Context<ChildProcessSpawner \| Path>, options?: { maxBytes?: number }) => Search.Search` | The spawner runs on the machine; `Path` resolves a relative root there.      |
+
+The machine needs `sh`, `find`, `xargs`, `tar`, `head`, and `base64`; GNU,
+BusyBox, and BSD userlands all have them, and a machine without one refuses
+with `command_failed` naming it. The program goes in on standard input and
+the answer comes back as base64, so a transport whose argv is bounded or whose
+output channel carries only text answers intact.
+
+## SearchContract
+
+The validation and matching rules both peers build on, exported so a third peer
+cannot drift on what a pattern means.
+

+
+`makeCommand` attaches `-i` only when the payload arrives on standard input,
+because a container CLI holding stdin open for a command that never reads it
+makes that command hang. A container name that is empty or starts with `-` is
+`invalid_input`, and so is an environment name that is not a POSIX shell name.
+A requested variable never reaches the host transport process under its own
+name, so `PATH`, `LD_PRELOAD`, or `DOCKER_HOST` cannot choose what runs on the
+host: `Plan.env` carries each value as `SMITHERS_CONTAINER_ENV_KEY`, argv
+carries only `-e SMITHERS_CONTAINER_ENV_KEY`, and an `sh -c` inside the
+container renames it to `KEY` before `exec`ing the program. A request that
+carries `env` therefore requires `sh` on the container's `PATH`; an image
+without one (distroless, `scratch`) fails every such request, and a request
+without `env` runs the program directly. Supply a custom transport for such an
+image. Custom transports return any host process environment overrides in
+`Plan.env`.
+
+## TreeFingerprint
+
+The identity of one directory tree, measured where the tree is. The host's
+workspace walk cannot see a container's filesystem, so `bash` runs this
+script through the container transport before and after a containerised
+command and reports whether the two answers differ under the reserved
+`mutated` key. The harness reads `true` as a measured write, the way it reads
+`invalidProbe` as a measured refusal.

+never runs with the workspace's `.git` as its `GIT_DIR`: it records and checks
+out through a temporary shadow repository that shares only the workspace's
+objects, with host config files switched off. A hook, `core.fsmonitor` command,
+filter driver or `info/attributes` entry written into the workspace's `.git`
+therefore does not run on the host. The workspace is still read for refs, its
+index, its config file (as a file) and a few `core.*` hashing settings. A
+checkout gets its own standalone `.git`, so a container can run git in it.
+
+A materialize never has host git write into an agent-writable directory. It
+writes the checkout and its `.git` into a staging directory the agent cannot
+reach, inside the temporary shadow or, when the host's temporary directory is
+another filesystem, a `.smithers-checkout-<uuid>` directory beside the
+workspace root, or `checkout-<uuid>` under `$XDG_CACHE_HOME/smithers` (default
+`~/.cache/smithers`) when the root's parent is not writable. One `rename` then
+gives the finished directory its name under the workspace. A checkout name the
+agent swaps for a symlink fails the call before anything is written through
+it. The rename runs from inside the checkout's parent, entered by its physical
+path, and a parent that resolves outside the workspace root's real path fails
+the call before the rename. When no staging directory shares the checkout's
+filesystem, the materialize is refused rather than copied, and the refusal
+names each candidate, including a root parent that is not writable.
+
+Two data-write residuals remain, neither of which runs a program. First, host
+writes into agent-writable `.git` paths (new objects, the checkpoint's config
+entry) follow a symlink the agent races into place. Second, the repository is
+whatever `git rev-parse --git-common-dir` names: a `.git` gitfile
+(`gitdir: <path>`) or an `objects/info/alternates` entry can point it at
+another git directory on the host. Captures then write objects and the config
+entry into that directory, a checkpoint id edited in `.git/config` can name a
+commit from it, and read-tree resolves object ids across the alternate store,
+so a materialize can write another host repository's files into the checkout.
+Both residuals apply whenever the agent can write the workspace, including its
+`.git` through a container bind mount; creating `.git` in the harness does not
+help, because the agent can rewrite it afterwards. The only mitigation is a
+`.git` and checkout path the agent cannot write, such as a read-only mount of
+`.git`, or running captures and checkouts against a git directory the harness
+keeps outside the mount.

+`make` sends `initialize` with `cwd` as the root URI and then `initialized`, so
+the service is ready when it resolves. `timeoutMs` defaults to 30,000 and bounds
+every request and every write. A frame body may be 8 MiB and its headers 8 KiB.
+The child receives the host environment allowlist plus `Config.environment`.
+`initializationOptions` is sent on `initialize` unchanged.
+
+The server runs on the host as the host user. `make` fails with
+`permission_denied`, before spawning, when the program it would execute lies
+under `cwd`: a relative or absolute command there, a bare name found through a
+`PATH` entry there, or a workspace symlink to a host binary. An argument, or
+the value after `=` in one, that names an existing file or directory under
+`cwd` is refused the same way; `node <dir>` runs that directory's `index.js` or
+package `main`. A launcher is refused outright, because its arguments are code or
+package names the file check cannot see: a shell (`sh -c`, `bash`, `zsh`),
+`env`, a package runner (`npx`, `pnpm`, `npm`, `yarn`, `bunx`, `bun x`,
+`deno`), or `node` and `bun` given inline code or a preload (`-e`, `--eval`,
+`-p`, `-r`, `--require`, `--import`, `--loader`). Name the server's own host
+binary, or an interpreter and a host script file. What the server loads after it starts is not checked: by default
+typescript-language-server runs the workspace's `node_modules/typescript`,
+tsserver with `--allowLocalPluginLoads` loads `tsconfig` plugins from the
+project, and rust-analyzer runs build scripts and proc macros. Pin those to
+host copies through `initializationOptions` or the server's own flags (for
+typescript-language-server, `{ tsserver: { path: "<host>/tsserver.js" } }`),
+or run the server in a sandbox.
+Request failures include `method`. JSON-RPC refusals retain `rpcError` with the
+server's numeric `code`, `message`, and optional `data`, bounded by the 8 MiB
+frame limit. Failures attach the latest stderr tail when present, capturing at
+most 64 KiB. On stdout closure or process exit, draining stderr gets a bounded
+100 ms grace before pending requests fail.

+## Runtime notes
+
+The root entry point is Node-only: it re-exports `NodeLanguageServer`, which
+imports `node:url`. The four browser-safe subpaths are `@smthrs/std/Grep`,
+`@smthrs/std/Glob`, `@smthrs/std/Search`, and `@smthrs/std/PortableSearch`.
+Nothing any of the four imports reaches a Node built-in.

+  every cap and how it is reported.
+- [Effects and capabilities](./concepts/effects-and-capabilities.md) for the

+  than a sandbox.
