+# Web Client Slots
+
+Slots are the Web Client's typed React composition system. [`dsh-client-ui-slots`](https://github.com/deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness/blob/master/packages/client/ui-slots/README.md) defines the React-free registry and type algebra; [`dsh-client-ui-renderer`](https://github.com/deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness/blob/master/packages/client/ui-renderer/README.md) binds observable sources to hooks, renders the tree, and owns React contexts internally. A feature plugin contributes UI through `ctx.slots.register()` and never imports another feature plugin's component.
+
+This page documents slot ownership, component inputs, extension APIs, and the shipped hierarchy. The surrounding boot, Remote, Client model, and Conversation paths are in [Web Client architecture](./web-client.md).
+
+## Declaration and lifecycle
+
+`SlotMap` is the compile-time registry. A package declaration-merges the key, cardinality, scope, owner props, keyed props, and optional slot-level inject face. The runtime declaration is the matching `children` entry on the component that owns the render location.
+
+Declaring a child has three effects: it makes the child key live, authorizes that parent entry's `renderSlot` or `renderSlotChain` call, and records the runtime dispatch specification. One live entry owns each declaration. Registering into an undeclared slot or declaring a child already owned elsewhere fails during plugin activation.
+
+`root` is the only built-in declaration and the only key rendered through the Cordis service itself. `ui-renderer` calls `ctx.slots.renderSlot('root', {})`; every descendant is rendered through the `renderSlot` or `renderSlotChain` prop of the entry that declared it.
+
+Registrations and declarations follow Cordis effect lifetimes. Disposing an entry removes its contribution and recursively collapses the child slots it declared. A feature that contributes into another package's slot therefore uses `ctx.slots.inject(key, callback)`: the callback runs for each declaration lifetime, its effects are removed when the owner collapses, and it runs again if the owner is mounted again.
+
+```tsx ignore-check
+import type { Context } from '@deepseek-ai/cordis'
+import type {} from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-conversation/client'
+import type {} from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-session/client'
+import type { PropsRuntime } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-slots'
+
+type HeaderActionProps = PropsRuntime<'conversation.session.header.actions'>
+
+function HeaderAction({ useSession }: HeaderActionProps) {
+  const running = useSession(snapshot => snapshot.running)
+  return <button disabled={running}>Review</button>
+}
+
+export const inject = ['slots']
+
+export function apply(ctx: Context): void {
+  ctx.slots.inject('conversation.session.header.actions', () =>
+    ctx.slots.register({
+      name: 'conversation.session.header.actions',
+      id: 'review',
+      order: 100,
+    }, HeaderAction))
+}
+```
+
+## Cardinality and scope
+
+The slot declaration fixes two independent axes.
+
+| Axis | Value | Meaning |
+|---|---|---|
+| cardinality | `single` | One cell. The active priority winner renders. Use a child slot instead of treating this as an additive list. |
+| cardinality | `list` | Cells are addressed by required `id` and ordered by `order`, then registration order. |
+| cardinality | `keyed` | The owner dispatches an `entryKey`; the matching cell renders with any key-specific props. |
+| cardinality | `chain` | Each entry supplies a pure `select(owner)` function. The first non-null result in priority order renders and receives that result as `matched`; otherwise the owner fallback renders. |
+| scope | `root` | One root-scoped component and store instance. |
+| scope | `session-maybe` | Follows current selection but stays renderable without a Session; Session values are optional. |
+| scope | `session` | Requires a resolved Session binding and receives definite Session values. |
+
+`priority` is a shadowing rank for `single`, `list`, and `keyed` cells and an election order for `chain`. Lower values run or render first. Ordinary additive contributions should choose a fresh list `id` or keyed `key`; intentionally reusing a shipped cell replaces its presentation.
+
+## Component inputs
+
+A registered component receives inputs assembled at its binding site. Components derive these types rather than copying their members.
+
+| Input | Declared by | Component type |
+|---|---|---|
+| owner values and standard scope values | the `SlotMap` row and installed scope adapters | `PropsRuntime<K>` |
+| authorized child renderers | the registration's `children` keys | `PropsRenderSlots<S>` |
+| selector hook and mutation callbacks for shared view state | the registration's `store` | `PropsStore<H>` |
+| private data, callbacks, and observable hooks | the registration's `inject` factory | `InjectFace<I>` |
+| localized `t` function | the registration's `locale` namespace | `PropsLocale<N>` |
+| selected chain value | the registration's `select` result | `matched` through `ComposedProps` |
+
+`SessionProvider` is also present in `PropsRenderSlots` when an entry declares a strict Session child. It binds that subtree to the current Session identity and remounts the body when the identity changes.
+
+Components never receive `ctx`. Parent-owned point-in-time values enter through the owner argument to `renderSlot`; shared view state uses a declared store; services and model objects stay in the `apply` closure and are projected into callbacks or observable sources.
+
+## Framework-provided hooks
+
+The shipped adapters add these standard props. They are available according to the target slot's scope, independent of which package registered the component.
+
+| Availability | Props | Owner |
+|---|---|---|
+| every scope | `useSessions`, `useSessionPendingInteraction` | `ui-session` |
+| every scope | `useWorkspaces` | `ui-workspace` |
+| `session` | `sessionId`, `useSession`, `useProjection` | `ui-session` |
+| `session-maybe` | optional `sessionId`, `useSession`, `useProjection` results | `ui-session` |
+| `session` | `useConversation`, `useInput`, `inputActions` | `ui-conversation` |
+| `session-maybe` | optional `useConversation`, `useInput`, `inputActions` results | `ui-conversation` |
+| `session` | `useChat` | `ui-chat` |
+| `session` | `useTrajectory` | `ui-trajectory` |
+
+The renderer also creates `useStore` from a declared store and `t` from a declared locale namespace. These are registration-derived props rather than global standard props.
+
+Framework and domain-adapter owners may extend the standard set through `ctx.slots.provideRoot()` or `ctx.uiSession.provide()` together with the corresponding `GlobalStandardProps`, `SessionStandardProps`, or `SessionMaybeStandardProps` declaration merge. A feature component should not create a React hook prop itself or add a global standard prop for entry-private data.
+
+## Developer-provided injection
+
+The `inject` option on a registration is the ordinary feature-owned injection point. Its factory runs in the plugin's `apply` world, may close over injected Cordis services, and returns only the data and callbacks that the component needs. For a `session` slot it receives `sessionId`; for `session-maybe` it receives `sessionId | undefined`; when a store is declared it also receives the store's bound actions.
+
+A reserved `hooks` object in that return value accepts bare `getSnapshot`/`subscribe` sources. The renderer converts `hooks: { status }` into a `useStatus(selector)` component prop and caches the binding by source identity. Components do not receive the source itself and do not call `useSyncExternalStore` directly.
+
+The owner of a slot may put an `inject` face in the child declaration when every occupant needs the same capability. Plain members reach all occupants unchanged. Function-valued members inside its `hooks` object are hook factories; they receive the slot's standard props and optional per-render `hookContext`, then return the constrained hook exposed to the occupant. `conversation.chat.node` uses this mechanism to provide `useTurnData(key)` for the node currently being rendered.
+
+Use owner props for values already known at one render occurrence, registration `inject` for one entry's callbacks and private observables, slot-level `inject` for a capability controlled by the slot owner, and a declared store for mutable view state shared across entries or preserved across remounts. React nodes compose through child slots, not through injected values.
+
+## Current hierarchy
+
+The hierarchy below is the shipped declaration tree. A child exists only while the named parent entry is mounted; optional feature entries can therefore make a subtree appear or disappear as one lifecycle unit.

+
+The generated Client inspect catalog is the exhaustive contract for each key: cardinality, scope, owner props, standard props, current occupants, declaration owner, and replacement risk. A running dynamic package can query the live tree and an exact key with `cordis_inspect what:"client"`; the source catalog is generated from `SlotMap` declarations and `slots.register()` call sites by `pnpm run gen-client-catalog`.
+
+## Extension rules
+
+- Import another feature package only for declarations with `import type`; never import or re-export its runtime values.
+- Declare a new child slot only in the component that owns and renders that location. Other packages wait with `ctx.slots.inject()` and contribute through `ctx.slots.register()`.
+- Keep business and transport state in their owning Cordis services or Client models. Slot stores hold shared viewing and interaction state only.
+- Keep observable source and snapshot identities stable between changes. Republish through the same source whenever its value changes.
+- Pass JSON-compatible data and callbacks between UI domains. The `hooks` compartment is the sole exception for bare observables; React content travels through slots.
+- Treat `single` and an occupied keyed cell as replacement points. Use list ids or an unoccupied key for additive extensions.

 The subagent seam lets an agent delegate work to a child agent. Like [bash](./shell.md), it is **one optional capability**, not part of the agent loop, so its types live here rather than in [core.md](./core.md). It differs from the other capability seams because **multiple provider implementations coexist** in one context, registered by name (`ctx.subagents`), while bash allows only one executor. Its registry follows the [LLM adapter registry](./llm-streaming.md), not the single-service bash executor.
