assertEntriesLoaded() flagged ANY fiber-less entry as a failed import, but a
`disabled: true` entry settles without a fiber by design (Entry.refresh() skips
init() when disabled) — a valid "plugin off" config, not a broken import. Both
app bins now filter `fiber === undefined && !entry.disabled`. The stdio built-bin
smoke gains a disabled-(unresolvable)-entry config that must still boot.
The verify-package-paths lib-skip was unconditional and ran before the
moved-package check, so a stale group-less `packages/acp-agent/lib/bin.js` (the
exact drift this gate catches) was silently ignored just for containing `lib`.
Scope the skip: only exempt `lib` when it is the segment after an EXISTING
`packages/<group>/<pkg>` root, so a real-but-unbuilt `lib/bin.js` is still exempt
while a stale package path flags.
BLOCKER — the published lib/bin.js (stdio + acp) was exercised only via tsx
(demo:* / the src/bin.ts smokes); the built artifact under plain `node` was
unguarded. Root-cause on the BUILT bin:
1. Settle race: boot() returned once loader.create() registered the include
ENTRY, but the include loads its child plugins asynchronously — so boot()
(and main()) resolved while the app plugins (stdin reader, agent loop, ACP
bridge) were still mounting. A CLI with no attached handles yet exits 0
silently, and a load error surfaces as an unhandled rejection AFTER boot.
Fix: `await ctx.loader.await()` after create() — settle the whole tree.
2. Config-path robustness: hand the include the config's ABSOLUTE file:// URL
so resolution never depends on ctx.baseUrl / can never fall back to cwd.
Both bins fixed identically. NOTE: the cordis Loader resolves a config's bare
plugin specifiers via its internal module loader, active only under
`node --expose-internals`; the bin cannot add a node flag itself, so this is
documented in the bin JSDoc + both package READMEs (the demos already comply).
The repo `examples/*/cordis.yml` are tsx-only artifacts (workspace plugins
resolve through the tsconfig paths map, not node_modules), so they are not a
valid plain-node bin target — the smokes use a real-install-shaped temp dir.
Fail loud on a load failure: boot() previously exited 0 SILENTLY when a config
path's directory does not exist — the include plugin fails to IMPORT, the cordis
Loader catches+LOGS it and leaves the entry with no fiber (no rejection), and
`loader.await()` does not rethrow (EntryTree.await uses Promise.allSettled). Fix:
boot() now calls assertEntriesLoaded(ctx) after the tree settles and throws on
any entry with no fiber, so a typo'd config dir exits non-zero with a clear
message. main() also installs an unhandledRejection guard (installFailLoud) that
replaces Node's stack dump with a single labelled stderr line for the
companion case (a missing config FILE in a real dir, whose include-init throw
surfaces as a rejection Node already exits non-zero on). Regression tests added
to both built-bin smokes (missing dir + missing file → non-zero exit + stderr);
verified the missing-dir test fails on the pre-fix bin.
Built-bin smokes (the reviewer's ask): packages/ui/{stdio,acp}-agent/tests/
built-bin.e2e.ts run the REAL lib/bin.js under `node` (NOT tsx) in a temp
consumer dir, asserting the stdio echo round-trip / the acp initialize response
+ stdout purity, plus the fail-loud cases above. They build-gate (skip if lib/
absent) and run in a new ci.yml step after the build.
Issue 2 — packages/README.md + docs/architecture.md said "plugins depend on
interfaces, never on the concrete loop", but dsh-agent-core imports the concrete
dsh-agent-loop. Scope the rule to EXTENSION plugins and carve out the sanctioned
COMPOSITION/bundle exception (dsh-agent-core composes the concrete spine); note
it in the implemented RFC too.
Issue 3 — examples/acp-agent/tests/acp.snapshot.ts fixture-guard claimed
no-model scenarios need no session.jsonl, but runScenario() always boots
llm-replay with the session.jsonl path and loadReplayScript() throws when it is
absent. Require session.jsonl for ALL scenarios (no-model ones ship a
header-only fixture) and rewrite the comment to match reality.
