AIWG 2026.9.5 — DeepSeek Harness, shared bundles, and controlled writing

Release date: 2026-09-07

Channel: stable

AIWG 2026.9.5 adds experimental DeepSeek Harness integration, makes shared project bundles usable from nested workspaces, and expands opt-in writing tools with explicit author control and fidelity review.

Use AIWG with DeepSeek Harness

The new `deepseek-harness` provider, also selected with `dsh`, connects AIWG to the official DeepSeek Harness CLI and SDK. It provides an AGENTS-first workspace bootstrap, native filesystem skills in `.agents/skills/`, and a managed Cordis overlay with workspace-write sandboxing and raw session recording. Existing operator configuration is preserved.

Preview the provider setup before deploying it:

aiwg use all --provider deepseek-harness --dry-run
aiwg use all --provider deepseek-harness
aiwg doctor --provider deepseek-harness

Headless execution and streaming SDK JSON-RPC support use bounded output, timeouts, and deterministic completion. AIWG waits for root and known child work to finish and drains output before reporting success. Sensitive model-route values stay out of the checked-in overlay.

Raw v2 JSONL histories can also join AIWG's session catalog through explicitly authorized session discovery and import. The importer preserves session topology and user/final-assistant text while redacting sensitive request, tool, reasoning, and unknown-plugin payloads.

This provider remains experimental and accepts only qualified Harness versions. AIWG hook wiring, MCP injection, structured question responses, daemon, and cron integration are not supported in this baseline. See the DeepSeek Harness provider guide and session import guide for exact versions, setup, and capability limits.

Share a bundle without copying it into every project

A member project can use `projectLocal.searchPaths` to point at a parent or external bundle root. Previously, deployment could write the native agent files but fail verification because the member index omitted their sources.

Validated external bundle payloads now enter the member index, default discovery, `show`, and managed quickrefs. Unrelated files beside the bundles stay outside the index, and links escaping an external payload are excluded. Rebuilding after removing a search root prunes its local index entries.

Start with the workflow you need

The onboarding and workflow guides now give more direct paths from a task to the relevant capability. Session exploration gains discoverable help, workflow recipes, and public source links. Provider guidance distinguishes indexed artifact access from native deployment when a provider cannot load an artifact natively.

Keep author control over writing changes

Opt-in writer profiles can carry approved samples and scoped preferences. Structured briefs, bounded examples, contextual diagnostics, and fidelity review help make proposed changes inspectable. Individual edit decisions, explicit learning proposals, receipts, and undo preserve the author's control. Selecting a profile alone does not intercept every provider response.

The release also packages the reviewed neutral-profile workflow and records voice-evaluation results and limits. These controls and fixture tests do not establish a general improvement in generated voice quality; broader human and model qualification remains open.

Additional capabilities and fixes

  • The opt-in network-analysis addon supports bounded analysis of saved

PCAP/PCAPNG captures, metadata-first evidence, stable citations, and optional local Termshark review.

  • Artifact writes respect the configured external corpus. Fortemi dataset

qualification independently verifies execution receipts and request digests.
