-1. The composing app (`apps/cli`) ships the roster as ordinary rows in its `cordis.yml` config tree — client plugin packages are entry rows like every host plugin, and `--dev` appends the `client-hmr` row in code (`AppCLIEntry`) before the settle/sweep so the fail-loud triple covers it. A roster row that fails to import is caught by the boot's `assertEntriesLoaded`.
-2. The `dsh-client-modules` node half (the package is dual-face: its browser half is the module table) scans loader entries' package.json `dshClient` declarations and composes `window.__DSH_BOOT__`: `{ rev, entries: [{ id, url, rev, inject?, immediately? }] }`. The `inject` edges and the `immediately` mark come from manifests, never hand-copied. It refuses a declared plugin without a built `./client` bundle, and any malformed declaration field — activation-time fail loud (a FAILED fiber the sweep reports).

The composing app (`apps/cli`) ships the roster as ordinary rows in its `cordis.yml` config tree — client plugin packages are entry rows like every host plugin, and `--dev` appends the `client-hmr` row in code (`AppCLIEntry`) before the host activation audit so the same check covers it. A roster row that fails to import is caught by `assertEntriesLoaded`; a row whose fiber rejects is reported with its original stack by `assertEntriesActivated` ([host boot decision](2026-07-24-web-config-tree-boot-and-transport-layering.md)).
+2. The `dsh-client-modules` node half (the package is dual-face: its browser half is the module table) scans loader entries' package.json `dshClient` declarations and composes `window.__DSH_BOOT__`: `{ rev, entries: [{ id, url, rev, inject?, immediately? }] }`. The `inject` edges and the `immediately` mark come from manifests, never hand-copied. It refuses declared plugins without built `./client` bundles and groups their package/path rows under one required source-build instruction; malformed declaration fields also fail activation, and the host audit reports either error from the FAILED fiber.
 3. Scanning is incremental per package — there is no full-rescan code path. Each cordis `internal/plugin` emission marks the fiber's entry name dirty (entry-less fibers drop O(1)); a microtask flush reconciles each dirty name against live loader entries, with package metadata (including the negative "not a client package" verdict) cached per name forever and bundle re-hashing reachable only through `rebuilt(id)`. The activation pass seeds the same dirty set from current entries and flushes synchronously, so first scan and steady state share one implementation. Each bundle's content hash is its `rev` (cache busting + HMR diff anchor), the row set hashes into `graph.rev`, and every row is fetch-served: `/plugins/<id>/client.js?rev=…`. The graph types are single-sourced in the modules package's `./impl` export — the webserver knows nothing about the graph (it is a plain route-registration plugin; modules registers the bundle route and taps the index render itself).
 
 Why is the roster yml rows and not a scan? Because which plugins compose into a deployment is a composition decision, not a package property — a dshClient package existing in the repo does not mean this deployment mounts it, so discovery-by-scan cannot make that call; the node half scans only what the tree actually mounted.

 3. 扫描是单包增量——不存在全量重扫代码路径。每次 cordis `internal/plugin` 发射把该 fiber 的 entry 名标脏（无 entry 的 fiber O(1) 丢弃）；微任务 flush 把每个脏名对账 live loader entries，包元数据（含「非 client 包」的否定结论）按名永久缓存，bundle 重哈希只经 `rebuilt(id)` 可达。激活趟从当前 entries 灌同一脏集合并同步 flush，初扫与稳态共享一条实现。每个 bundle 的内容哈希是其 `rev`（缓存失效 + HMR diff 锚点），行集合哈希进 `graph.rev`，每一行都经 fetch 供给：`/plugins/<id>/client.js?rev=…`。图类型单源在 modules 包的 `./client` 出口——webserver 对图一无所知（它是朴素路由注册插件；bundle 路由和 index 渲染 tap 都由 modules 自己注册）。
 
 为什么名册是 yml 行而不是扫描？因为哪些插件组合进一次部署是组合决策，不是包属性——一个 dshClient 包存在于仓库里，不代表这次部署要挂载它，扫描发现无从替人做这个决定；node 半只扫描配置树实际挂载了的东西。

 ## Decision
 
-**Composition is one flat assembled tree.** `apps/cli/config/base.cordis.yml` plus `apps/cli/config/web.cordis.yml` holds every row — the host runtime (32 rows), the `api-gateway` row, the `webserver` row, and the `dshClient` rows (the browser roster; the modules row is simultaneously a host row). No spine bundle: every plugin is one row and every config field is yml-editable. That stance later became repository-wide, with the rows both surfaces share factored into `apps/cli/config/base.cordis.yml` and each surface reduced to an overlay ([shared-base overlays](../simplification/2026-07-29-shared-base-config-overlays.md)). `--dev` appends the `dsh-client-hmr` row in code before the settle sweep — prod and dev differ by exactly that row. Row order carries no load semantics; activation is service-availability driven, and the boot compensates with a fail-loud triple: `assertEntriesLoaded` (import failures), `installFailLoud` (late apply rejections), and an all-ACTIVE sweep (PENDING fibers — cordis inject waiting has no timeout).

Row order carries no load semantics; activation is service-availability driven. The shared audit rejects imports with no fiber, awaits only failed fibers to recover original activation errors, and reports services that leave a fiber `PENDING`; before throwing, it marks those exact rejection reasons through one process checkpoint so `installFailLoud` coalesces Loader's duplicate notification while unrelated unhandled rejections remain fatal. The Node app-boot artifact embeds `@cordisjs/plugin-include` while leaving `@cordisjs/plugin-loader` external, so the include's `EntryTree` and the host bind to one Loader peer instead of splitting a config tree across two Loader implementations.
 
-**Boot glue is a class pair.** `AppCLIEntry` (apps/cli) and `AppWebEntry` (the shell kernel) hold only what must exist independently of cordis: argv facts, the composed patch set, the parsed boot manifest, the module system instance, loading-page handles — everything else lives in plugins. `AppCLIEntry.run()` is three stages: layered env (ambient > cwd `.env` > `$DSH_HOME/.env`, closing the defect above) → patch composition → Loader include boot plus the triple. `AppWebEntry.run()` mirrors it browser-side: parse `window.__DSH_BOOT__` into a `BootManifest` (two views: npm-package rows for the module table, cordis-plugin rows for entry composition; malformed wire throws), build the module system, render the loading page, prefetch the `immediately` tier in parallel with Context/Loader setup, **await the prefetch before creating entries** (materialization is `tree.import`'s synchronous require, unprotected by fiber inject waiting; cross-package require edges such as i18n → runtime/client need every immediately-tier factory registered first — an empirically found 10–25% boot race otherwise), adopt the modules entry, create the graph rows, settle, sweep.

 **Config sources have one declaration place each.** yml static values are engineering defaults; the profile json (`./.dsh-tmp-profile/config.json`, read-only, never created, cwd-anchored until the `$DSH_HOME` migration) is user config mapped through a static `PROFILE_MAPPINGS` table onto target rows (`provider`/`model` → the `api-gateway` row, `persistenceRoot` → the jsonl row); CLI flags map onto the `webserver` row with a field set disjoint from the json's; env values enter through yml `!!js` expressions, never through the mapping table. Patches replace a row's config wholesale, so the entry class re-reads the yml row's static values (bypass parse) and merges overrides on top. An unmapped json key fails loud. The resolved frontend `distIndex` rides the same patch channel — an assembly fact, not user config.

-Two failure classes the guards handle: `loader.await()` swallows init rejections (`Promise.allSettled`) — Node still exits non-zero on the resulting unhandled rejection, and `installFailLoud` replaces the noisy dump with one labelled line and a guaranteed `exit(1)`; a failed plugin import is only logged by the Loader (the process would otherwise exit 0 on a usable config typo), leaving a fiber-less entry that `assertEntriesLoaded` turns into a `boot()` rejection naming every failed plugin.
+Two Loader failure classes require separate guards because tree settlement propagates neither to its caller. A failed plugin import leaves a fiber-less entry that `assertEntriesLoaded` turns into a `boot()` rejection naming every unresolved plugin. A plugin callback or config failure leaves a failed fiber because `loader.await()` settles lifecycle tasks without propagating that error; `assertEntriesActivated` awaits the fiber explicitly and includes its original stack in the startup rejection. Before throwing, the audit marks those exact rejection reasons through one process checkpoint so `installFailLoud` coalesces Loader's duplicate notification while every unrelated unhandled rejection remains fatal.
 
-Bare plugin specifiers in a config (`@deepseek-ai/dsh-*`, npm packages) resolve through the Cordis Loader's internal module loader. Repository bins install Loader's optional `node-addon-require-builtin` peer; external callers must supply it or install plugins where plain Node import resolution can find them. Relative specifiers resolve against the config directory without the native helper. The `dsh` source launcher additionally maps manifest-declared workspace packages to their TypeScript source; its configuration gate requires every TUI/Web bare plugin to appear in the resolver manifest's `dependencies`. The bins' subprocess smokes exercise the internal-loader path, while this package's unit suite drives `boot()` in-process against configs with relative specifiers.

Repository bins install Loader's optional `node-addon-require-builtin` peer; external callers must supply it or install plugins where plain Node import resolution can find them. Relative specifiers resolve against the config directory without the native helper.

 This package carries no loader hooks and no dev-mode surface. The [`dsh` app](../../../apps/cli/README.md) owns its Node source-launch hook and consumes these helpers for the boot sequence; built consumers continue to use plain Node package resolution.

-这些保护处理两类故障。`loader.await()` 会吞掉初始化 rejection（`Promise.allSettled`）；Node 仍会因随后产生的未处理 rejection 以非零状态退出，而 `installFailLoud` 会把冗长转储替换为一行带标签的消息，并确保执行 `exit(1)`。插件导入失败则只会由 Loader 记录日志（否则，即使配置存在拼写错误，进程也会以代码 0 退出），并留下没有 fiber 的条目；`assertEntriesLoaded` 会将其转换为 `boot()` rejection，并在其中列出每个导入失败插件的名称。
+Loader 树结算不会向调用方传播两类故障，因此需要分别保护。插件导入失败会留下没有 fiber 的配置项，`assertEntriesLoaded` 将其转换为 `boot()` rejection，并列出每个未解析插件。插件回调或配置失败则会留下失败的 fiber，因为 `loader.await()` 只结算生命周期任务，不传播该错误；`assertEntriesActivated` 会显式等待该 fiber，并把原始错误堆栈写入启动 rejection。抛出错误前，审计会通过一个进程级检查点标记这些 rejection 的确切原因，从而让 `installFailLoud` 将 Loader 的重复通知合并为一次，而所有无关的未处理 rejection 仍然致命。
