The core mechanism of 'anchoring' (achieving desired reasoning chain) in dsh-anchored-standard, specifically the interplay of maxTokens, adapterDefaults, and tool schema.

Technical Positioning
The dsh-anchored-standard preset aims for a 'minimal-aligned bootstrap, then full Standard tools.' This issue dissects why anchoring fails and identifies tool schema as the critical variable.
SaaS Insight & Market Implications
This detailed analysis uncovers a critical flaw in dsh-anchored-standard's anchoring mechanism: the maxTokens fix is overridden by adapterDefaults, rendering it ineffective. More significantly, at high maxTokens values, the tool schema itself, not maxTokens, is the decisive factor for successful first-round anchoring. Minimal tool surfaces consistently anchor, while standard tool surfaces fail universally. This indicates that the complexity or structure of the tool schema directly interferes with the model's ability to adopt the desired reasoning chain. This finding is paramount for a 'two-phase preset' aiming for advanced tool integration. It demands a re-evaluation of how tool schemas are presented to the model during the bootstrap phase, suggesting a need for simplified or optimized schema representations to ensure consistent and reliable anchoring.

Raw Developer Origin & Technical Request

的 maxTokens 修复被 adapterDefaults 覆盖；256000 下工具 schema 才是首轮锚定的决定变量

# 概述

这是对 #6 与已合并的 #7 的后续独立验证，来自一组 Windows + rc.5 包环境、2026-08-15 官方端点的受控实验（45 个会话的首请求轨迹）。新增两点：#7 的 maxTokens 修复在本环境被 adapter 默认值覆盖而不生效；并且在相同的 256000 maxTokens 下，**首轮工具 schema 本身就能决定锚定是否成立**——minimal 的工具面 5/5 锚定，所有 standard 系工具面 11/11 失败。

# 环境与方法

- Windows 11；DSH profile 包 `0.1.0-rc.5`（CLI launcher 报告 `0.1.0-rc.6`）；`deepseek-official` + `deepseek-v4-pro` + `reasoningEffort=max`；2026-08-15 官方端点。
- 通过 DSH Web API `session.create {agentPreset}` 创建空白会话，与 UI 会话走同一 preset 挂载路径。
- 首个任务相关 `assistant/message` 落盘后立即 `session.cancel`，只统计**第一个模型请求**的 reasoning（与 modeltest 轨迹文档同口径：完成态 assistant message、大小写不敏感、词边界匹配）。
- 题面 A：`evaluator/trigger_probe` 的英文探针原文；题面 B：Project2 `CANDIDATE_PROMPT.md` 正文块；题面 C：中文任务「理解一遍这个项目」。
- 全部会话已归档；只发布聚合统计，完整 reasoning 不公开。

# 一、合并 #7 后：maxTokens 修复在 rc.5 包上未生效

| 题面 | n | 首行 | we | let me |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 英文探针 | 5 | 5/5 "The user wants me…" | 0.2 | 2.6 |
| Project2 中文块 | 3 | 3/3 "Let me start by…" | 0.0 | 3.0 |

首个 `request/header` 的证据（两组一致）：

```
config.maxTokens = 256000
adapterDefaults.maxTokens = true
```

即 #7 注入的 `bootstrapMaxTokens: 1024` 被 `llm.prepareCall` 的 adapter 默认值覆盖，没有进入实际请求。同一版本里，**pre-step 剥离部分是生效的**：把 cwd 指向带 `CLAUDE.md` + 技能目录的仓库时，首请求的 user 消息中已无 `agent-instructions` / `skill-catalog` 注入。

# 二、新的因果证据：256000 下，工具 schema 本身决定锚定

以下所有行共享同一 system prompt（`You are a helpful software engineer assistant.`）、同一 `maxTokens=256000`（adapter 默认）、同一英文探针题面和同一 cwd，只改首请求工具目录：

| 首请求工具 | 来源 | n | 首行 | we | let me |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| bash(...

Extracted Positioning
Clarification on the scope of 'minimal mode' and 'full tools' in dsh-anchored-standard's two-phase reasoning.
The dsh-anchored-standard preset is defined by its 'two-phase' approach: 'Minimal-aligned bootstrap, then full Standard tools.' The user seeks clarity on when this transition occurs.

如果是这样的话，那么长链路来说不是还跟原本的一样吗，如果我浪费掉了第一轮

应该是session。AI是没有记忆的，所谓上下文窗口是把每次agent全部记录发回去的（所以缓存才有用），也就是session的首token不会变。不过可能压缩后会受到影响，maybe得把压缩工具也优化下，固定保留首次工具调用...

第一次回复后,tool顶层字段会被注入全量工具,此后的ssession都将共享完整工具,具体方式请参考dsh相关代码实现,感谢您的疑问

Persistent reasoning chain behavior in dsh-anchored-standard across multi-turn conversations.
The 'anchored standard' mode is designed for a 'minimal-aligned bootstrap, then full Standard tools,' implying a sustained advanced reasoning state. The issue questions if this state is maintained.
