Move the shared module-reload policy into dsh-base by inserting its HMR row disabled, then remove the redundant disabled overrides from Web, headless, SDK, and ACP. No shipped profile enables server module reload; live profile patch watching continues through the launcher-owned config-only fallback, and browser client HMR remains a separate mechanism.
A later profile layer can opt into source-module reload explicitly with disabled: false while retaining the base root configuration. Composition tests cover every shipped mode and the explicit enable path, and the bundle references plus launcher Agent Notes document the resulting ownership and safety rationale.
Regenerate the configuration catalog and module graph after replacing standalone application packages with dsh profile bundles and renaming the private Python carrier. Update built-bin coverage to launch the shipped sdk and acp profiles, assert retired bins stay absent, and keep the Web golden text aligned with the same assembled runtime.
Clarify that headless is a startup profile whose patches freeze after boot. This commit is projection and verification work: it contains no application implementation, and every generated document is produced from source committed earlier in the series.
A fast one-shot can request exit through ctx.appExit while the launcher
still awaits its watcher setup; the failure guard now also swallows the
resulting rejections when the tree is no longer live, not only on
signal shutdown. Sync the app-boot README and headless bundle comment
with unconditional patch watching, and bring the two Agent Notes still
asserting the --dev row append and the headlessIo slot current.
Replaces the patch round trip. An app's entrypoint resolves the command
line into a service, and the rows it configures read that service from
their own config — port: !!js ctx.get('webStartup')?.port ?? 3080 — so the
resolved value beats the value written beside it and nothing is written
back into a row or handed to the launcher.
A bundle names the entrypoint row in its manifest (dsh.bundle.entrypoint),
which is what lets the boot mount in two passes: entrypoints alone, then
the whole composition. That ordering is required, not cosmetic — a row's
config expressions are evaluated when the include applies the row, and a
strict ctx.get only answers for a service whose providing fiber is already
active.
What this removes: ctx.appPatches and the launcher-owned patch layer, the
disable/re-enable recycle and its in-flight-mount barrier, overrideConfig,
and the reload hazard they existed for. A live config edit now re-applies
the second pass against services that are still up, so a served port
survives by construction.
What it adds: ctx.appReady, because Loader settlement no longer means the
app is up — a row mounted in the second pass can observe a settled tree
while that pass is still running, or already rolling back. The web URL line
waits for it, so a boot that fails in the second pass announces nothing.
dsh-web-app owns --host/--port/--dev/--workspace-root/--trusted-host and
its --help in a web-startup row; the rows it configures wait for the
webStartup service, and the client-plugin HMR receiver now ships disabled
so --dev is a row toggle rather than a runtime insert (the Loader cannot
resolve a row inserted from inside a mounting plugin).
dsh-headless owns the task positional and rejects a missing task as its own
usage error. Its runner ships disabled, not merely waiting: the schema
requires the task, and a row's config is validated when its fiber is
created, before the startup row can supply one. A composition has exactly
one command-line owner, so the patch disables the web startup row and this
one provides webStartup too, leaving the web rows on their composed
one-shot values.
The keyless web scaffold provides the same three values with no arguments,
which is what an embedding host with no command line does.
- Clone patch lists per generation (boot + composeLive): the include pushes
insert rows by reference and mutates them in place, so a reused object
baked user overrides into bundle rows and removal could not revert; the
built-bin hot-reload e2e now asserts an override AND its removal reverting.
- The headless runner awaits Loader settlement before prompting (its inject
gate covers only apiProxy/httpServer) and abandons cleanly when the tree
died during the wait.
- healProfilesModuleFallback walks the app's full dependency+peer closure:
out-of-tree plugins import seam packages (dsh-compact, dsh-subprocess, ...)
that only implementations reach, and peers are how seams are declared.
- Profile init writes pnpm-workspace.yaml (nodeLinker: hoisted), not .npmrc
— pnpm >=10 reads settings from the workspace manifest.
- Web dumps reject boot-only flags instead of printing a tree that differs
from the same invocation's boot; --port validates at the flag;
--dump-default-config no longer parses the (possibly broken) user layer;
trustedHosts flag derivation merges over the composed value instead of
replacing it; web-runtime gains surfaceContext (headless disables the GUI
prompt/bash-vars the old -p never mounted); 'node_modules' is a reserved
profile name; plugin-warning names the recovery step; client AGENTS.md
registration surfaces point at the web-app bundle.
- Ship session-reference/tmux-context/tool-ask-user as app dependencies for
terminal front-door patch layers (turtle-ui), same stance as mcp-client.
Profile bundles are npm packages declaring dsh.patch in their manifest:
dsh-base carries the former base.cordis.yml rows as one insert over the empty
profile root; dsh-web-app carries the web overlay plus a runtime glue plugin
owning what used to be launcher code (frontend dist resolution via
frontend-static, the web-surface prompt section, bash runtime variables, the
readiness-gated URL line); dsh-headless carries the one-shot runner driving a
task turn through the in-process API carrier under the launcher-provided
ctx.headlessIo seam.
