The web GUI's folder picking was hardwired to one interaction: a native OS chooser compiled into the gateway, unusable for remote deployments and swappable only by editing apiproxy source. Directory picking becomes a three-package capability seam in packages/host: ctx.directoryPicker returns a discriminated capability — dialog (the extracted native chooser; host-display only) or browse (new: one-level listing + child creation over Node stdlib, hidden flags host-stamped, symlinks followed, ancestry crumbs; remote-capable). The gateway injects the seam, advertises the kind via host.describe.directoryPicker, serves host.listDirectory / host.createDirectory under browse, and answers directory-picker-unavailable across kinds. cordis.yml is the swap point; apps/cli keeps dialog mounted, so behavior is unchanged until the in-app browser PR flips the default. The connection fixture serves a deterministic browse tree; WorkspacesService gains the browse calls the browser UI will drive.

/**

* The `ctx.directoryPicker` seam: how the web-GUI host lets an operator
|
|

|
|
* just mechanism, so the service exposes a discriminated capability instead
|
|
* of one method set: a `dialog` backend opens one native OS chooser on the
|
|
* host's display, while a `browse` backend serves listing/creation primitives
|
|
* for an in-app browser (and thereby works for remote clients no OS dialog
|
|
* can reach). Consumers switch on `capability().kind`; the union is
|
|
* merge-extensible, and the documented default for an unknown kind is to

|
* hide the picking affordance rather than fail.
