Base: 31d5c0b
Docs-not-needed: the default message is not stated in docs/subsystems/ds-bot-core.md; the perf baseline row still describes the script correctly.

What changed

core/dev/perf-baseline.mjs sent 请读一下项目根目录的 README.md 第一段，然后告诉我它讲了什么。 by default. decide() has no branch for it, so the scripted model answered two text blocks, every turn warned carried no tool call, and the run exited 1 without recording: the baseline could not be taken in its default configuration.

The default is now 看看团队现在在忙什么。 — a realistic user request the mock already routes to list_bots (/团队|班底|team/i, core/dev/mock-llm.mjs:531). The mock's behaviour is unchanged: no branch was added or moved for the message.

DEFAULT_MESSAGE is exported so a test feeds that exact string through decide() and asserts a tool_use block comes back; a change to either side now fails a test instead of producing 23 warnings. The same test asserts parseArgs still defaults --message to it, so --message remains the override.

Before: warning: turn N/23 carried no tool call … then perf-baseline: no measured tool call…, exit 1.
After: exit 0, 20 measured turns, both latency scenarios populated.

Verification at the tip

Tip SHA: f558c47

Ran:

• node --import ./test/harness-resolve.mjs --test test/perf-baseline.test.js → 13/13 pass (tip).
• Red-first: put DEFAULT_MESSAGE back to the base string, same test file → 12 pass, 1 fail with the perf default message carried no tool_use: [{"type":"text","text":"收到：请读一下…"},{"type":"text","text":"还有别的要我盯的吗？"}]; restored to the tip → 13/13 again.
• node scripts/ds-bot-patches.mjs check → core/ equals ds-bot/ + patches/ds-bot/ (the two files are stored whole under patches/ds-bot/files/, so those mirrors move with them).
• TZ=UTC npm run verify → Green at this tip (all in core/ unless noted):
• node --import ./test/harness-resolve.mjs --test test/perf-baseline.test.js → 13/13 pass, including the new test.
• node scripts/ds-bot-patches.mjs check → ok core/ equals ds-bot/ + patches/ds-bot/.
• node scripts/ds-bot-patches.mjs canonical → ok patches/ds-bot/ is what generate writes (generate is a no-op), i.e. the two patches/ds-bot/files/ mirrors are byte-identical to what generate would write (run with TMPDIR outside /tmp, see below).
• npm run lint as part of verify → oxlint 0 errors and arch-docs: OK (4 changed file(s)).

npm run verify did not complete green on this host, and the reason is the box, not the diff: /tmp is a 128 MB tmpfs at 100% (df: 128M used, 980K avail), so ds-bot-patches canonical died with EIO copying its scratch tree and the core suite dies file-level with spawn node EAGAIN / SIGTERM 143. With TMPDIR moved off /tmp the generator steps go green as listed above. CI runs the full matrix on this PR; that is the authority for the suites this box cannot finish. At f558c471 CI reports tests-ok success (the required check: test, plugins (tree), plugins (social), package all pass), merge-gate success, and only enqueue-guard red — refusing with no Verifier report names the tip f558c471, i.e. this change still needs the Reviewer's PASS.

• Bench, end to end (ports 3098/8798, MOCK_DELAY_MS=300, harness at runs/i2565/deepseek-harness per bench: the mock bench cannot run on this host — the only deepseek-harness checkout needs a build, and the host has neither git nor a C compiler #2571): MOCK_DELAY_MS=300 dev/bench.sh perf 3099 8799 reset → exit 0; PERF_COMMIT=31d5c0b468b41d1f7d8611876fbecf3347be7d8e node dev/perf-baseline.mjs perf 3099 --out /tmp/i2577-perf2.json (no --message, so the new default is what ran) → exit 0, 20 measured turns, no carried no tool call warning; stop → exit 0.

One caveat, a separate defect this fix surfaces and does not touch: at the documented CONTEXT_WINDOW=100000 CHECK_RATIO=0.45 the Chief session checkpoints around turn 3 (context ≈48k against a 45k threshold), the conversation moves to a new session file, and perf-baseline.mjs keeps polling the old one — perf-baseline: turn 4/23 timed out after 120000 ms, reproduced on two clean resets. The table above is the same command with CONTEXT_WINDOW=200000, where no checkpoint fires inside 23 turns. A tool-calling default grows that context faster than the old text-only one, so this needs its own issue.

Not run (and why): the CI suites themselves (they run on the push); the smoke test, because nothing under core/index.js or core/src/host/ changed. docs/performance-baseline.md is deliberately untouched — its "not measured" row belongs to a separate change that records a host-labelled run.

Verdict: PASS at f558c47

Ran at this tip:

$ node --import ./test/harness-resolve.mjs --test test/perf-baseline.test.js
# tests 13  # pass 13  # fail 0
$ sed -i 's|看看团队现在在忙什么。|请读一下项目根目录的 README.md 第一段，然后告诉我它讲了什么。|' core/dev/perf-baseline.mjs && node --import ./test/harness-resolve.mjs --test test/perf-baseline.test.js
# tests 13  # pass 12  # fail 1

(second run restores the base DEFAULT_MESSAGE string only; tip blob back afterwards, sha256 9cfcfe18…217b78; both runs in a fresh extraction of the tip tarball, TMPDIR off the full /tmp)

Review points:

• Scope: 4 files, +44/-4 — core/dev/perf-baseline.mjs (default message is now a realistic request the mock routes to a tool), core/test/perf-baseline.test.js (+18, new test), and the two patches/ds-bot/files/ mirrors, byte-identical to core/ (sha256 match above).
• Red-first: with the base message string the new test fails exactly as the body says — the perf default message carried no tool_use: […text only…], 12 pass / 1 fail. It is a behaviour-level failure, not just a missing export.
• Tier T2 (from the risk-tier job log: risk-gate (report only): PR #2579 tier T2) — this PASS is the one it needs.
• CI at this tip: 19/20 check-runs green, only enqueue-guard red with no Verifier report names the tip f558c471; tests-ok, merge-gate, package, plugins (*) all success.
• Checkpoint block in the body is well-formed: 1036 chars, summary 504, 4 files all in the diff, checks.at = this tip.
• Not run on this host: node scripts/build-client.mjs --check (borrowed node_modules has no esbuild; client.js is untouched by this diff) and ds-bot-patches check/canonical (/tmp tmpfs 89–100% full; mirrors verified by byte comparison instead). CI's tests-ok is green at this tip.
