DNA Migration — two formats coexist
Status lock 2026-05-14. Authoritative on which format to use when.
Two formats, two granularities
| Format | Layout | Used by | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| task-class (4-segment, legacy) | <role>::<caps>::<scope8>::<body8>-<nonce8> |
kei-ledger agent forks (RULE 0.12), internal agent invocations |
Internal-agent identity; same prompt re-runs cluster on same task-class |
| agent-shell (5-segment, new) | agent-shell::<provider>:<model>:<caps>::<scope16>::<body16>-<nonce16> |
keisei-marketplace user-level invocations |
User-shell identity; carries provider+model in the wire format so the marketplace UI / billing pipeline can join on it without parsing JSON |
Hex lengths differ on purpose — 8-char nonce was sufficient for single-machine ledger; 16-char (64-bit) is required for marketplace where N concurrent sessions across the public install base push birthday collision into reach.
Which format does my code emit?
- Writing a substrate-internal agent spawn (sub-agent of an orchestrator,
background ML run, ledger row for
kei-fork) → task-class viakei-shared::dna::compose(...)(or equivalent helper in your crate). - Writing a marketplace user-facing invocation (chat message hitting
/v1/chat/completions, agent the user picked from the public catalog) → agent-shell viacryptoid.ts::agentDna(...)in the marketplace.
When in doubt, ask: "does this row in the ledger correspond to a particular human user clicking a button?" If yes → agent-shell. If no → task-class.
Parser table
| You have a string | Parse it with |
|---|---|
kei-shared::dna::* or kei-model-router::dna_class::* |
dna_class::role / dna_class::caps / dna_class::task_class_dna / dna_class::agent_class_dna |
agent-shell::* |
kei-model-router::agent_shell_dna::parse (Rust) or cryptoid.ts::parseAgentDna (TS) |
Both parsers tolerate None / null on malformed input — never panic.
Ledger join
When agent_runs (marketplace, agent-shell) needs to join kei-ledger.agents
(KSK, task-class), use the explicit translation:
agent-shell DNA → drop prefix → use (provider, model, caps) as filter,
use scope_sha+body_sha as join keys
There is intentionally no lossless round-trip between the two formats — they carry different information. agent-shell carries provider+model that task-class does not.
Cross-language contract
Field names on the parsed struct are aligned per 2026-05-14:
Rust (agent_shell_dna::AgentShellDna) |
TypeScript (ParsedAgentDna) |
|---|---|
provider |
provider |
model |
model |
caps |
caps |
scope_sha |
scope_sha |
body_sha |
body_sha |
nonce |
nonce |
snake_case on both sides (TS field names exempted from camelCase convention for cross-language consistency). JSON round-trip is byte-equal.
Migration history
- 2026-05-13 —
agent_shell_dnacube added tokei-model-router(issue: marketplace needs provider-aware DNA). - 2026-05-13 —
cryptoid.ts::agentDnaadded in marketplace. - 2026-05-14 — fields aligned snake_case; legacy 8-hex DNAs explicitly REJECTED by TS
parseAgentDna(returnnull).
Not migrated yet
kei-shared/src/dna.rsdoes not exist as a separate crate in this tree yet; the canonical 4-segment implementation lives in_primitives/_rust/kei-model-router/src/dna_class.rs. When kei-shared is extracted,dna_classmoves there andagent_shell_dnafollows. Updatedocs/DNA-FORMAT.md::SSoTpointer at that time.
