Fold CodeBuddy's residual runtime-literal branches onto descriptor-driven
hostBehaviors (the issue's "zero branches remain" premise was inaccurate — 2
lived):
- Folded the `if (isCodebuddy)` commands/ report duplicate (byte-identical to
the generic reportCommandsDir block above it) onto
hostBehaviors.reportCommandsDir:true, matching cursor's #2089 precedent.
- Deleted the dead `else if (isCodebuddy)` agent-conversion arm (codebuddy ∈
_DESCRIPTOR_AGENTS_RUNTIMES → gated out before the legacy chain, same dead-arm
pattern removed for augment/trae in #2097).
- Removed isCodebuddy from all 4 destructure sites (now comments only, mirroring
the #2096 isAntigravity fold). Zero live isCodebuddy reads remain.
UPGRADE 1 (extended hook bus): populate extendedHookEvents with the full
extended set SubagentStop/Stop/PreCompact/SubagentStart (qwen #2092 / kimi
precedent — codebuddy previously had extendedHookEvents:[] so it got NONE of
these). The generic applySettingsJsonHooks loop wires them, so CodeBuddy's
settings.json now gains all four subagent-lifecycle + stop/compact hooks it
previously lacked, matching Qwen/Kimi coverage. No source change (the
HOOK_EVENT_SURFACES SDK catalog is a locked dict; all 4 events are already in
the validator enum; hookEvents already 'claude'). settings.json is golden-
excluded → no golden change.
UPGRADE 2 (background dispatch): surfaced via the negotiated capability contract
only. CodeBuddy's dispatch.background:true legitimately exceeds the declarative-
cli baseline (false) and survives negotiation with no warning. NO agent-file
frontmatter field is emitted: the CodeBuddy CLI (GSD's install target,
~/.codebuddy/agents/) has NO background-dispatch frontmatter field — background
is a caller-side run_in_background invocation param (verified against
codebuddy.ai/docs/cli/sub-agents); the issue's agentMode/enabledAutoRun are
IDE-only (codebuddy.cn, a different product). Emitting them would be a non-
functional false-green, so it is deliberately not done.
Golden: byte-identical for all 16 runtimes (folds are console/failures-report
only; UPGRADE 1 → golden-excluded settings.json; UPGRADE 2 → no artifact
change). Tests: declarative-reference-codebuddy (adapter/axes/fail-closed
negotiation + AC2 source-grep guard) + codebuddy-upgrades (live install asserts
all 4 extended hooks wired; dispatch.background survives negotiation above
baseline). Matrix + install-on-your-runtime updated; changeset (Changed).
capability-registry regenerated.
