 The default Profile templates use `@deepseek-ai/dsh-base` as the shared core for `web`, `headless`, `sdk`, and `acp`, with one mode bundle above it. The [standalone `sdk-minimal` profile](../../../../packages/bundle/sdk-minimal/README.md) instead lists one bundle that owns its complete explicit tree. Generic `dsh --profile <name>` hands its remaining arguments to that profile's command-line startup row: Web owns its flag family, headless owns its task positional, and the protocol profiles accept no app options. Patch overlays use launcher-owned `--patch`. A new, non-shipped target can use `--from-default-profile <template>` to copy one default template's bundle list and patch-reload policy before boot or config dump. This creates an independent profile with empty dependencies and an empty user patch: it neither reads a local profile named by the template nor records an inheritance relationship. The launcher claims the complete target directory exclusively, so existing state and concurrent creators fail without modification. `dsh plugin --profile <name> <args...>` is a thin pnpm forwarder that initializes a base-backed profile and reconciles `dsh.profile.bundles` with installed bundle declarations; a package without a bundle declaration remains a plain dependency. [Headless as a direct core entry point](../../archived/architecture/2026-08-09-headless-direct-core-entry-point.md) owns the headless composition contract.

The separate published Web profile applies after `dsh-web-app` and the Host profile; it inserts the Team UI, which mounts the Remote contribution generated by the Team package.

+Profile startup resolves selected bundles before computing the [immutable profile resolution generation](2026-09-09-profile-resolution-generations.md). The generation retains installation-first precedence, traverses each explicit bundle root completely in profile order, and keeps pnpm-managed profile packages authoritative. Runtime mode enforces the result in memory; retained link and dual modes materialize the same result as shared and profile-owned projections. A private profile layer can therefore carry experimental plugin rows without adding those plugins to a release app, requiring profile users to install transitive packages directly, weakening packaged-runtime module identity, or changing another profile's resolution.
 
 Experimental status changes compatibility and support expectations, not publication for these five packages. They retain the repository's ordinary documentation, invariant, lifecycle, security, unit, real-composition, and snapshot requirements. Promotion still requires review of the public contracts, limitations, test evidence, runtime dependents, and a named owner accepting stable-package obligations.

+# Agent Note: Add immutable profile resolution generations
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-09-09-profile-resolution-generations.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+A profile loads plugin rows from its own package project, while Harness packages and packages carried by selected bundles can live outside that project's ordinary dependency tree. The current launcher bridges the trees by calculating package precedence at startup and materializing that result as shared symlinks, profile-owned links, or packaged-executable proxy packages. The files persist across processes and installations, require reconciliation and locking, expose generated proxy manifests to metadata readers, and cannot represent a process-local change atomically.
+
+The runtime design preserves the existing selection rules rather than introducing a second package policy. It covers imports performed by plugin modules as well as Loader row imports, works in the main thread and Harness-owned Workers, and keeps hot per-resolution overhead within 15% of Node without hooks. Generation replacement accepts only additive package sets and never mutates a live table entry by entry.
+
+## Decision
+
+Profile startup computes one immutable `ResolutionGeneration` from the same dependency traversal that supplies the disk module fallback. The launcher defaults to link mode and preserves the existing materialized lookup behavior. Internal callers and tests can select runtime mode, which installs the generation into Node's ESM and CommonJS resolvers, or dual mode, which materializes and verifies the same generation. `PluginPackages.replace()` publishes a complete additive successor with one reference replacement.
+
+### One selection algorithm
+
+The package traversal remains in `@deepseek-ai/dsh-app-boot` beside profile loading. The disk materializer and the runtime resolver consume one pure plan; neither owns a copy of the precedence algorithm. Direct callers can select link, dual, or runtime mode, while an omitted mode selects link. Runtime and dual remain internal migration and verification paths rather than user-facing launcher behavior.
+
+The installation manifest is the first root. Its graph traverses `dependencies` followed by `peerDependencies` breadth-first, resolving each edge from the manifest that declares it. The first installed package reached under a name owns that name. Selected bundle roots then run in profile order, with each earlier root's complete graph taking precedence over every later root. Names supplied by the installation are reserved, and bundle package roots themselves do not become plugin fallbacks. Missing declared packages are skipped as before.
+
+Profile-local and plugin-private `node_modules` entries stay outside the fallback entries, and Node checks them before the virtual fallback position. The generation records only installed direct profile package names for a no-I/O native fast path. Each fallback entry records the package name, version, selected lookup directory, declaring manifest anchor, and scope needed to rerun Node's native resolution from the selected package and validate that a successor preserves existing mappings.
+
+The existing `healProfilesModuleFallback()` remains as the disk materializer for the same computed result, which permits direct comparison without rewriting the selection rules. The launcher uses it by default. Runtime mode computes the generation without materializing it, while dual mode materializes and installs that generation for comparison.
+
+### Immutable generations
+
+A resolver registration holds one `current` generation. Each synchronous resolution captures that reference once. Generation construction reads every required manifest before publication; an error leaves the current generation unchanged. Successful publication replaces one reference, and in-flight calls may finish against the generation they captured.
+
+Selection and package-metadata caches belong to a generation. Publishing a successor invalidates them by making the old generation unreachable after its callers finish; update code does not mutate or clear individual entries. Calls with explicit CommonJS paths or non-default conditions never reuse a default-resolution cache entry.
+
+The launcher constructs one startup generation. The service accepts an additive successor, but no package-manager transaction invokes replacement in this implementation.
+
+### Shared ESM and CommonJS rule
+
+The resolver uses `node-addon-require-builtin` to read `internal/modules/esm/loader` and `internal/modules/cjs/loader`. The ESM adapter wraps the per-thread singleton `CascadedLoader` resolve methods. The CommonJS adapter wraps the internal builtin's `Module._resolveFilename`; that `Module` is the same object exported by `node:module`.
+
+Both adapters call one routing function. It ignores builtins, relative or absolute paths, URLs, `#imports`, parents outside the profile scope, and explicit calls outside the supported default lookup. For a scoped bare request, it keeps the original parent when Node's lookup order contains a profile-local or plugin-private package before the virtual shared-fallback position. Otherwise it routes a generation hit through that entry's declaring anchor and leaves a miss at the original parent.
+
+The adapters call the captured native resolver after routing. Node remains responsible for exports, import and require conditions, main files, subpaths, extensions, native caches, and final errors. A selected package's invalid export or missing target does not trigger another same-name candidate. CommonJS does not replace `_findPath` or reproduce `_resolveFilename`.
+
+The guarantee covers Node's default `import`, `import()`, `import.meta.resolve`, `require`, and `require.resolve` after installation in that thread. It does not cover already linked modules, custom `vm` linkers, opaque non-Node importers, or third-party Workers.
+
+### Active plugin list and package metadata
+
+The resolution generation lists available fallback packages; Loader entries form the active plugin list. Consumers keep using Loader's existing entry lifecycle and filter the entries relevant to their own scope. Consumers that need package metadata pass a specifier and owning tree base URL to a lightweight `app-boot` service without requiring a `./package.json` export. An installed generation is authoritative, including a miss; a service created without a generation retains native lookup for low-level embedders.
+
+The resolver does not expose `imported(entry)` and does not observe ModuleJobs, wrap Entry methods, associate fibers with import calls, replace registry or tree methods, or adapt HMR transactions. A repeated query uses the same generation and therefore cannot drift from the route used for the import. Non-Node importers that need package metadata must explicitly implement the same deterministic resolver interface.
+
+The implementation lives under `app-boot/src/profile-resolution/`. `service.ts` provides the long-lived `ctx.pluginPackages` and owns the main-thread resolver and Worker-generation lifetimes; `resolver.ts` implements generation lookup and the Node Internal adapters; `worker-bootstrap.ts` installs an inherited generation in one thread. Existing profile selection and disk materialization remain in `profile.ts`. Workers reference the bootstrap only through the public `@deepseek-ai/dsh-app-boot/worker/profile-resolution-bootstrap` export.
+
+### Workers and generation updates
+
+The main thread publishes a structured-clone representation of the current generation through Worker environment data. Each built Harness-owned Worker uses its build banner to obtain its own ESM and CommonJS internal objects and install the same adapters without traversing manifests. The bootstrap bundle has no static package imports; on Windows it temporarily exposes a service-private native cache directory and restores the environment before business code starts. Source Worker entries retain their existing self-contained dependencies. Third-party Workers remain unchanged.
+
+New Workers inherit the latest published generation. Existing Workers keep the generation they inherited, so a caller that publishes a successor must restart them. The ESM bootstrap cannot affect static dependencies linked before its execution, so Worker bundles keep pre-bootstrap static imports natively resolvable and start code needing the profile resolver through a later dynamic import.
+
+### Additive package changes
+
+A caller adding a package completes its pnpm transaction before constructing a successor generation. Replacement rejects any generation that changes the directory or version of an existing package. The caller publishes an additive successor before mounting the new Loader row; this implementation does not provide that package transaction. A mount failure may leave the package installed but inactive.
+
+Replacing, upgrading, or removing an already loaded package requires process restart because Node's ESM Module Map, CommonJS cache, existing object references, and running Workers can retain the old module identity. Generation replacement does not claim to unload modules.
+
+### Disk migration
+
+Runtime-only launch paths do not create, update, or retire symlinks and proxy packages. The resolver treats the legacy shared fallback and `.dsh-module-fallback` projections as virtual insertion positions: a generation hit uses the table target, while a miss skips those old positions before continuing native ancestor lookup. During a dual phase, the launcher materializes and installs the same generation; tests disable each backend in turn and compare their targets.
+
+Legacy disk state remains available to link-only launches, old processes, and rollback without participating in runtime-only selection. Removing that state is a separate maintenance operation outside this change.
+
+### Mode behavior
+
+Link, dual, and runtime modes use the same generation schema and dependency-selection policy. Link mode persists the computed result, runtime mode installs it only in the process, and dual mode requires Node's materialized result to equal the generation route.
+
+The `dsh` launcher selects link mode when its caller omits `resolutionMode`, so supported profile startup keeps its existing filesystem behavior. Tests and low-level embedders select runtime or dual explicitly before any profile row mounts.
+
+Runtime mode requires a supported Node Internal loader interface and does not create, update, or retire fallback links. Dual mode retains link writes and fails when Node's disk result differs from the generation. Writable profile state and package-manager transactions remain outside the resolver.
+
+Packaged-carrier selection, virtual-filesystem adaptation, and Electron ASAR launch behavior are separate decisions layered on this mode-neutral architecture.
+
+### Performance and verification
+
+Generation construction is startup or update work, not resolve work, and its absolute latency is reported separately. The hot path consists of scope classification, bare-name extraction, local-before-fallback selection, a Map lookup, and at most one native resolution; a cache hit returns the generation-owned result directly. Out-of-scope calls do not read manifests and cache only whether each parent belongs to the profile scope.
+
+Performance measurements run built JavaScript under plain Node in fresh processes and compare against a process that installs no hook. Seven alternating rounds cover outside, profile-local, and fallback imports through dynamic import, `import.meta.resolve`, require, and `require.resolve`. Across Node 22.19, 24.18, and 26.8, the largest positive hot-path median is 4.5%. On Node 24.18, a 256-package cold workload regresses by at most 11.2% and generation construction takes 16.027 ms median; the 32-package local `require.resolve` case adds 1.033 ms across the batch (+34.7%) from fixed startup cost.
+
+Behavior tests compare the runtime generation with the disk materializer over the same package trees, then exercise root order, transitive and peer dependencies, local and external precedence, exports and subpath errors, conditions, explicit CommonJS options, source and built Workers, and supported Node versions. Generation tests prove failed construction does not publish partial state and successful replacement is atomic.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Keep disk projections permanently.** This preserves native lookup without process hooks, but retains cross-process mutation, stale generations, proxy manifests, writer locks, and packaged-runtime divergence. A bounded dual migration remains useful because both backends consume the same generation.
+
+**Expand the dependency graph lazily during resolve.** This spreads manifest reads and errors across first-use calls, changes timing from the disk implementation, complicates Worker startup, and makes the hot path depend on graph size. Complete generation construction is easier to compare and replace atomically.
+
+**Use `module.registerHooks`.** The public API puts every relevant resolution through Node's global hook dispatch before profile scope can reject it. Direct access to the existing internal ESM and CommonJS resolver objects permits a smaller fast path while retaining Node as the final resolver.
+
+**Record each Entry's actual import through Loader and HMR adapters.** Actual import records support stateful resolvers that return different targets for identical inputs. This design instead makes the generation authoritative and deterministic, so those records duplicate the resolver's answer while adding Entry, fiber, registry, ModuleJob, and HMR lifecycle state.
+
+**Mutate one long-lived table after each package operation.** Incremental mutation exposes partial graphs and requires targeted cache invalidation. Building a complete successor makes failure atomic and keeps all caches generation-owned.
+
+**Hot-replace already loaded package versions.** A resolution-table swap cannot invalidate every live module instance or object reference. Restart preserves one package identity per process.
+
+## Verification
+
+- One eager computation supplies the retained disk materializer and runtime generation.
+- Link-only, dual, and runtime-only tests consume the same generation; runtime startup neither writes nor retires module-resolution data.
+- ESM and CommonJS adapters share one router and delegate final resolution to Node without `module.registerHooks` or `_findPath` replacement.
+- Production metadata lookup does not record Loader import results or wrap Entry, registry, tree, or HMR methods.
+- Main-thread and built owned-Worker tests cover supported Node versions.
+- Built plain-Node measurements record the hot and cold results above against no-hook Node.
+- Package READMEs, architecture references, generated catalogs, and the bilingual pair describe the shipped implementation.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Runtime startup avoids disk mutation and proxy manifests while preserving the existing package-selection algorithm. It accepts the maintenance cost of Node Internal compatibility tests and an early, self-contained bootstrap in each owned Worker. Link remains the launcher default, and dual keeps a migration comparison path. Generation replacement remains additive until the product owns module-cache invalidation and Worker restart. Carrier-specific selection and virtual-filesystem launch integration remain separate work.

+# Agent Note: 增加不可变 profile 解析代际
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-09-09-profile-resolution-generations.md) | 中文
+
+## Problem
+
+profile 从自己的包项目加载插件配置项，而 Harness 包和所选 bundle 携带的包可能位于该项目普通依赖树之外。当前启动器在启动时计算包优先级，再将结果物化为共享 symlink、profile 自有链接或打包可执行文件的代理包。文件跨进程和安装版本持续存在，需要协调和锁来维护，并向元数据读取方暴露生成的代理 manifest，也无法原子表示进程内变更。
+
+运行时设计保留现有选包规则，不另建一套包策略。它覆盖插件模块内部的 import 以及 Loader 配置项的 import，在主线程和 Harness 自有 Worker 中工作，并将热 resolve 相对无 hook Node 的开销控制在 15% 以内。generation 替换只接受新增包的集合，不会逐项修改正在使用的表。
+
+## Decision
+
+profile 启动从磁盘 module fallback 使用的同一套依赖遍历生成一个不可变 `ResolutionGeneration`。launcher 默认使用 link 模式，保留现有的物化查找行为。内部调用方和测试可以选择 runtime 模式，把 generation 安装到 Node 的 ESM 与 CommonJS resolver；也可以选择 dual 模式，同时物化并校验同一份 generation。`PluginPackages.replace()` 通过一次引用替换发布完整的新增型后继 generation。
+
+### 唯一选包算法
+
+包遍历继续放在 `@deepseek-ai/dsh-app-boot` 的 profile 加载代码旁。磁盘 materializer 和运行时解析器消费同一个纯计划；两者都不持有另一份优先级算法。直接调用方可以选择 link、dual 或 runtime 模式，省略模式时使用 link。runtime 与 dual 仍是内部迁移和验证路径，不改变面向用户的 launcher 行为。
+
+安装 manifest 是第一个根。它按 BFS 依次遍历 `dependencies` 和 `peerDependencies`，每条边从声明它的 manifest 解析，同名包由第一次找到的已安装包占有。所选 bundle 随后按 profile 顺序逐根遍历；每个较早根的完整依赖图优先于所有较晚根。安装闭包中的名称被保留，bundle 包根本身不成为插件 fallback。与旧行为相同，已声明但未安装的包会被跳过。
+
+profile 本地和插件私有 `node_modules` 不进入 fallback entries，由 Node 在虚拟 fallback 位置之前选择。generation 只记录已安装的 profile 直接包名用于 native 快速分流；每个 fallback 记录包名、版本、旧规则选中的查找目录、声明该边的 manifest 锚点和作用域，足以从选定包重新进入 Node 原生解析并验证换代保持既有映射。
+
+旧 `healProfilesModuleFallback()` 保留为相同纯计算结果的磁盘 materializer，便于直接比较并避免重写旧规则。launcher 默认调用它。runtime 模式只计算 generation 而不物化，dual 模式会物化并安装该 generation 进行比较。
+
+### 不可变 generation
+
+一个解析器 registration 持有一个 `current` generation。每个同步 resolve 在入口只捕获一次该引用，完整调用只读该引用。generation 构造在发布前读取所有必需 manifest；失败时当前 generation 不变。发布成功只替换一个引用，执行中的调用可以继续使用它已捕获的 generation。
+
+选包缓存和包元数据缓存归 generation 所有。发布下一代后，旧 generation 在调用方退出后自然不可达，不逐项清理缓存。显式 CommonJS paths 或非默认 conditions 不得复用默认解析缓存。
+
+launcher 只构造启动 generation。服务接受新增型后继 generation，但本实现没有包管理器事务调用替换操作。
+
+### ESM 与 CommonJS 共用规则
+
+resolver 使用 `node-addon-require-builtin` 读取 `internal/modules/esm/loader` 和 `internal/modules/cjs/loader`。ESM 适配器包装每线程单例 `CascadedLoader` 的 resolve 方法。CommonJS 适配器包装内部 builtin 导出的 `Module._resolveFilename`；该 `Module` 与 `node:module` 导出的对象相同。
+
+两个适配器调用同一个路由函数。builtin、相对或绝对路径、URL、`#imports`、profile 作用域外 parent 和支持的默认查找以外的显式调用都直接委托原生实现。对于作用域内的 bare request，如果 Node 查找顺序在虚拟共享 fallback 之前存在 profile 本地包或插件私有包，则保留原 parent；否则 generation 命中时返回该条目的声明锚点作为 routed parent，未命中时保留原 parent。
+
+适配器完成路由后调用捕获的原生 resolver。exports、import/require conditions、main、subpath、扩展名、原生缓存和最终错误仍归 Node 处理。选中包的无效 export 或缺失目标不会触发另一个同名候选。CommonJS 不替换 `_findPath`，也不复制 `_resolveFilename`。
+
+保证范围是当前线程安装后发生的 Node 默认 `import`、`import()`、`import.meta.resolve`、`require` 和 `require.resolve`。已经链接的模块、自定义 `vm` linker、不透明的非 Node importer 和第三方 Worker 不在透明保证范围。
+
+### 活动插件列表与包元数据
+
+resolution generation 列出可用 fallback 包；Loader entries 组成活动插件列表，两者不能合并。消费方继续使用 Loader 原有 entry 生命周期，并按自身 scope 过滤相关 entries。需要 package metadata 的消费方将 specifier 和所属树的 base URL 交给 app-boot 中的轻量服务，无需 package 导出 `./package.json`。安装 generation 后，即使查询未命中也以 generation 为准；底层嵌入方只安装服务而不提供 generation 时，服务保留 Node 原生查找。
+
+解析器不提供 `imported(entry)`，不观察 ModuleJob，不包装 Entry 方法，不把 fiber 与 import 调用关联，也不替换 registry、tree 或 HMR 方法。重复查询读取同一个 generation，因此不会偏离 import 使用的路线。需要包元数据的非 Node importer 必须显式实现同一个确定性 resolver 接口，不能把调用来源推断重新引入 Node 主路径。
+
+实现集中在 `app-boot/src/profile-resolution/`。`service.ts` 提供长期存在的 `ctx.pluginPackages`，并拥有主线程 resolver 与 Worker generation 的生命周期；`resolver.ts` 实现 generation 查询和 Node Internal 适配器；`worker-bootstrap.ts` 在线程内安装继承的 generation。旧 profile 选包和磁盘 materialize 逻辑留在 `profile.ts`。Worker 只通过 `@deepseek-ai/dsh-app-boot/worker/profile-resolution-bootstrap` 公开入口引用 bootstrap。
+
+### Worker 与 generation 更新
+
+主线程通过 Worker environment data 发布当前 generation 的可结构化克隆表示和 profile scope。每个 Harness 自有 Worker 构建产物通过构建 banner 获取自己的 ESM/CJS Internal 并安装同一适配器，不重新遍历 manifest。bootstrap bundle 不静态导入任何包；在 Windows 上，它会临时暴露一个服务私有的 native cache 目录，并在业务代码启动前恢复环境。源码 Worker 入口保持原有自包含依赖；第三方 Worker 保持不变。
+
+新 Worker 继承最新发布的 generation。已运行的 Worker 保留启动时继承的 generation，因此发布后继 generation 的调用方必须重启它们。ESM bootstrap 无法影响其执行前已链接的静态依赖，因此 Worker bundle 必须保证 bootstrap 之前的静态 import 可由原生 Node 解析，需要 profile resolver 的业务入口在 bootstrap 后通过 dynamic import 启动。
+
+### 只增加包的变更
+
+添加包的调用方先完成 pnpm 事务，再构造下一代。替换操作会拒绝改变任何既有 package name 的目录或版本。调用方先发布只增加映射的后继 generation，再挂载新的 Loader 配置项；本实现不提供该包事务。挂载失败可以留下已安装但未启用的包。
+
+替换、升级或删除已加载包需要重启，因为 Node 的 ESM Module Map、CommonJS cache、现存对象引用和运行中的 Worker 都可能保留旧模块 identity。generation 换代不声称卸载模块。
+
+### 磁盘迁移
+
+runtime-only 启动流程不创建、更新或退休 symlink 和代理包。resolver 把旧共享 fallback 和 `.dsh-module-fallback` 投影视为虚拟插入位置：generation 命中时使用表中目标，未命中时越过旧位置继续原生祖先查找。dual 阶段物化并安装同一个 generation；测试分别禁用一个后端并比较目标。
+
+旧磁盘状态继续供 link-only 启动、旧进程和回滚使用，但不参与 runtime-only 选择。清理旧链接是本次变更之外的独立维护操作。
+
+### 模式行为
+
+link、dual 与 runtime 模式使用同一种 generation schema 和依赖选择策略。link 模式持久化计算结果，runtime 模式只在进程内安装，dual 模式要求 Node 的磁盘结果与 generation 路由一致。
+
+`dsh` launcher 在调用方省略 `resolutionMode` 时选择 link 模式，因此受支持的 profile 启动保留现有文件系统行为。测试与底层嵌入方会在挂载任何 profile 条目前显式选择 runtime 或 dual。
+
+runtime 模式要求受支持的 Node Internal loader 接口，并且不会创建、更新或退休 fallback 链接。dual 模式保留链接写入，并在 Node 的磁盘结果与 generation 不同时失败。可写 profile 状态和包管理器事务不属于 resolver。
+
+打包载体选择、虚拟文件系统适配和 Electron ASAR 启动行为属于叠加在这套模式无关架构上的独立决策。
+
+### 性能与验证
+
+generation 构造发生在启动或显式更新阶段，不属于单次 resolve，但需要单独报告绝对延迟。热路径只包括 scope 分类、bare name 提取、本地优先判断、Map 查询和至多一次原生解析；缓存命中直接返回 generation 级结果。作用域外调用不读取 manifest，只缓存 parent 是否位于 profile scope。
+
+性能测量用 plain Node 在全新进程中执行构建后的 JavaScript，并以完全没有安装 hook 的进程为基线。七轮交替顺序覆盖 outside、profile-local 和 fallback 的 dynamic import、`import.meta.resolve`、require、`require.resolve`。Node 22.19、24.18 和 26.8 的热路径中位数最大正向回退为 4.5%。Node 24.18 的 256 包 cold workload 最大回退为 11.2%，generation 构造中位数为 16.027 ms；32 包本地 `require.resolve` 因固定启动成本在整批增加 1.033 ms（+34.7%）。
+
+行为测试在同一包树上比较运行时 generation 与磁盘 materializer，再覆盖根顺序、传递依赖和 peer、本地与外层优先级、exports 与 subpath 错误、conditions、显式 CommonJS options、源码和构建 Worker及支持的 Node 版本。generation 测试证明构造失败不发布部分状态，成功换代只做原子引用替换。
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**永久保留磁盘投影。** 这能在没有进程 hook 时沿用原生查找，但仍有跨进程写入、陈旧 generation、代理 manifest、写锁和打包运行时差异。迁移期 dual 模式仍有价值，因为两个后端消费同一个 generation。
+
+**在 resolve 时惰性扩展依赖图。** 这会把 manifest 读取和错误分散到首次使用，改变磁盘实现的时机，使 Worker 启动更复杂，并让热路径成本随依赖图变化。完整构造 generation 更容易比较和原子替换。
+
+**使用 `module.registerHooks`。** 公共 API 会在 profile scope 拒绝请求之前让相关解析进入 Node 的全局 hook 分发。直接访问已有 ESM/CJS 内部解析器可以保留更小的快速路径，并继续让 Node 完成最终解析。
+
+**通过 Loader 和 HMR 适配器记录每个 Entry 的实际 import。** 实际 import 记录能支持相同输入返回不同目标的有状态 resolver。本设计改为以 generation 作为确定性权威，因此这些记录只会复制 resolver 的答案，同时增加 Entry、fiber、registry、ModuleJob 和 HMR 生命周期状态。
+
+**每次包操作增量修改一张长期表。** 增量修改会暴露半成品依赖图，并要求定点失效缓存。完整构造下一代使失败保持原子，并让所有缓存随 generation 生命周期存在。
+
+**热替换已经加载的包版本。** 解析表换代无法使所有存活模块实例和对象引用失效。重启可以保证每个进程只使用一个 package identity。
+
+## Verification
+
+- 一次 eager 计算同时供应保留的磁盘 materializer 和运行时 generation。
+- link-only、dual 和 runtime-only 测试消费同一个 generation；runtime 启动既不写入也不退休模块解析数据。
+- ESM 与 CommonJS 适配器共享同一个路由器，并把最终解析委托给 Node，不使用 `module.registerHooks` 或替换 `_findPath`。
+- 生产 package metadata 查询不记录 Loader import 结果，也不包装 Entry、registry、tree 或 HMR 方法。
+- 主线程和构建后的自有 Worker 测试覆盖受支持的 Node 版本。
+- plain Node 构建产物测量记录上述相对无 hook Node 的热路径和 cold 结果。
+- package README、架构引用、生成目录和双语文档对描述已交付实现。
+
+## Consequences
+
+runtime 启动避免磁盘修改和代理 manifest，同时保留既有选包算法。代价是持续维护 Node Internal 兼容测试，并在每个自有 Worker 中最早执行自包含 bootstrap。link 保持 launcher 默认值，dual 保留迁移比较路径。在产品拥有模块缓存失效和 Worker 重启前，generation 替换只能新增映射。载体专用选择和虚拟文件系统启动集成仍属于独立工作。

+组合包名称先从 dsh 安装目录解析，再从 profile 目录解析。因此，内置组合包（`@deepseek-ai/dsh-base`、`@deepseek-ai/dsh-web-app`、`@deepseek-ai/dsh-headless`、`@deepseek-ai/dsh-sdk-app`、`@deepseek-ai/dsh-sdk-minimal`、`@deepseek-ai/dsh-acp-app`）始终来自当前运行的 `dsh` 所属的安装；树外组合包来自 profile 中由 pnpm 管理的 `node_modules`。挂载配置行前，launcher 会按此顺序遍历安装与所选 bundle，并物化计算出的 fallback 链接。内部 runtime 与 dual 模式会在测试中消费同一份不可变 generation，但不改变 CLI 的 link 模式行为。所有模式都保留 profile 已安装包的原生优先级。
 
 `web`、`headless`、`sdk`、`sdk-minimal` 和 `acp` profile 首次使用时会从随附模板自动初始化（`web`：base + web-app，实时应用 patch；`headless`：base + headless，只在启动时应用 patch；`sdk`：base + sdk-app，只在启动时应用 patch；`sdk-minimal`：独立组合包，只在启动时应用 patch；`acp`：base + acp-app，只在启动时应用 patch）。其他缺失的 profile 会显式报错，并提示运行 `dsh plugin --profile <name> add <package>`。

+Before mounting profile rows, the `dsh` launcher computes one immutable package-resolution generation from the installation and ordered bundle dependency graphs.

Internal callers and test harnesses can instead install the generation through Node's ESM and CommonJS resolvers in runtime mode, or materialize and verify the same generation in dual mode.

 ### Previewing the effective configuration
 
 Before you boot, you can print the exact configuration the app will mount: the dump shows the composed entry list with `!!js` expressions verbatim, grouped under comments naming each source file and the patch layers that changed it, as one loadable YAML document. Patches that match no row are reported with their layer label; a missing, unparsable, or invalid config fails the dump.
@@ -103,12 +105,14 @@ This section explains how the outcomes above are realized and points at the code
 
 ### Design notes
 
-- **Channel-neutral library.** The 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, and built consumers use plain Node package resolution.
+- **Process-local module resolution.** The package installs one generation on Node's internal ESM and CommonJS resolvers before profile rows mount. Node still owns exports, conditions, subpaths, module caches, and final errors. `ctx.pluginPackages` exposes package metadata from the same generation without recording Entry imports; an installed generation is authoritative even for a miss, while low-level embedders that install the service without one retain native lookup.
 - **Two Loader builtins.** `mountRootInclude` registers `cordis:include` and `cordis:group` as Loader builtins: a group row gives one `isolate` realm to a provider and its consumers together, and an agent preset outside this workspace cannot resolve `@deepseek-ai/cordis-plugin-group` by name. Both load through the ambient module pipeline rather than the included tree's own specifier resolution.
 - **Consumer-owned strictness.** Ordinary Loader groups keep successful siblings. App-boot applies the global required-entry policy after initial settlement; agent presets and dynamic multi-entry compositions own and dispose their separate generation when they require all-or-nothing setup. App-boot reads failed fibers to report their recorded errors and coalesces duplicate Loader rejection notifications through one process checkpoint.
-- **Profile module fallback.** Bare plugin specifiers resolve through the Loader from the config directory. Plain Node maintains one symlink per package in the installation dependency closure. A packaged executable instead reads each installed export map with Node ESM conditions and writes real proxy packages that re-export virtual module URLs, because an operating-system symlink cannot enter pkg's `/snapshot` tree. Missing exports stay unavailable, malformed maps fail startup, and a cross-process writer lock replaces stale entries without exposing partial proxies. A selected external bundle absent from the installation closure receives a profile-local `.dsh-module-fallback` link; existing pnpm entries win, projected links are excluded from later closure discovery, and cleanup removes only dsh-owned links.
+- **One fallback generation.** The installation-first and ordered-bundle breadth-first traversal produces both the runtime table and the retained disk materializer. Runtime mode creates no resolution links and ignores stale projections at their former lookup positions. Link mode materializes the same table; dual mode also compares Node's disk result with the table. A complete successor may add package names atomically, while changing or removing an existing mapping requires restart.
+- **Owned Workers.** Worker build banners import `@deepseek-ai/dsh-app-boot/worker/profile-resolution-bootstrap` before bundled business code. Each Worker installs the structured-cloned generation in its own isolate. The bootstrap bundle has no static package imports; on Windows it temporarily supplies the native loader with a service-private cache directory and restores the Worker environment before business code starts. Source Worker entries retain their self-contained dependency closure, and third-party Workers receive no injection.
 - **Update completion.** App boot observes restart failures through the `internal/update` waterfall. Live patch reloads wait for the tree's fibers before auditing activation; `Fiber.update()` and `Entry.update()` alone do not establish restart success.
-- **Two-stage failure labels.** `boot()` distinguishes `host preparation failed` — `prepare` threw before any config-tree entry mounted — from `plugin tree failed to load`. Plugin diagnostics include original stacks, nested causes, and aggregate member failures. Cyclic causes terminate diagnostic traversal without replacing the original cause.
+- **One rejection checkpoint.** `assertEntriesActivated` keeps the exact reasons it folds into the boot diagnostic visible through the next process rejection checkpoint, so `installFailLoud` coalesces Loader's duplicate notification while unrelated unhandled rejections remain fatal.
+- **Two-stage failure labels.** `boot()` distinguishes `host preparation failed` — `prepare` threw before any config-tree entry mounted — from `plugin tree failed to load`, and appends the deepest plugin error's stack. Plugin diagnostics retain nested causes and aggregate member failures; cyclic causes stop traversal without replacing the original error.

-- **Bare package specifiers depend on Loader internals** — production bins need Loader's optional native helper; an in-process caller without it must use resolvable relative/file specifiers or provide its own module-resolution hook.
+- **Runtime resolution depends on Node internals** — supported Node versions require the native builtin-access addon and executable compatibility coverage. Only built Harness-owned Workers receive the generation bootstrap; third-party Workers and custom `vm` linkers keep native resolution.
 - **Snapshot replay swapping is basename-specific** — only a config ending in `cordis.yml` or `cordis.yaml` maps to the sibling `cordis.snapshot.yml`; custom config names require caller-managed selection.
 - **Environment discovery is launch-scoped** — `loadLayeredEnv` reads only the invocation directory and Harness home once; it does not search parents or follow a workspace selected later. `loadEnv` remains the one-directory helper for non-product bins.
 - **A user patch replaces the whole matched config** — an id-targeted patch does not deep-merge, so a profile override restates the bundle fields it keeps.

 ### 设计说明
 
-- **与渠道无关的库。** 此包不包含 loader 钩子，也不提供开发模式接口；[`dsh` 应用](../../../apps/cli/README.zh.md) 持有自己的 Node 源码启动钩子，并在启动序列中使用这些 helper，构建后的消费方则使用普通 Node 包解析。
+- **进程内模块解析。** 此包会在挂载 profile 条目前，将一份 generation 安装到 Node 的 ESM 与 CommonJS 内部 resolver。exports、conditions、subpath、模块缓存和最终错误仍由 Node 负责。`ctx.pluginPackages` 从同一 generation 提供 package metadata，不记录 Entry import；安装 generation 后，即使查询未命中也以 generation 为准，仅安装服务而未提供 generation 的底层嵌入方仍使用 Node 原生查找。
 - **两个 Loader builtin。** `mountRootInclude` 把 `cordis:include` 与 `cordis:group` 注册为 Loader builtin：group 行能把一个提供方与它的消费方放进同一个 `isolate` realm，而位于本工作区之外的 agent preset 无法按名称解析 `@deepseek-ai/cordis-plugin-group`。两者都通过宿主的模块管线加载，而非被包含树自身的说明符解析。
 - **由 consumer 持有严格语义。** 普通 Loader group 保留成功 sibling。App-boot 在首次结算后应用全局 required-entry policy；agent preset 与动态多 entry 组合在需要 all-or-nothing setup 时，持有并拆卸各自的独立 generation。App-boot 读取 failed fiber 来报告已记录的错误，并在一个进程检查点内合并 Loader 重复的 rejection 通知。
-- **Profile 模块后备机制。** 裸插件 specifier 由 Loader 从配置目录解析。普通 Node 会为安装依赖闭包中的每个包维护一个符号链接。打包可执行文件无法让操作系统符号链接进入 pkg 的 `/snapshot` 树，因此会按 Node ESM 条件读取已安装包的 export map，并写入重新导出虚拟模块 URL 的真实代理包。缺失 export 保持不可用，错误 export map 会让启动失败，跨进程 writer lock 则会在不暴露部分代理的情况下替换陈旧条目。所选外部组合包若不在安装闭包中，则会获得 profile 本地的 `.dsh-module-fallback` 链接；已有 pnpm 条目优先，后续闭包发现会排除投影链接，清理也只删除 dsh 自有链接。
+- **唯一 fallback generation。** 安装优先、有序 bundle 逐根 breadth-first 遍历同时生成运行时表和保留的磁盘 materializer。runtime 模式不创建解析链接，并在旧链接原来的查找位置忽略陈旧投影。link 模式物化同一张表；dual 模式还会比较 Node 的磁盘结果与表。完整后继 generation 可以原子增加 package name，修改或删除既有映射则要求重启。
+- **自有 Worker。** Worker 构建 banner 会在业务 bundle 前导入 `@deepseek-ai/dsh-app-boot/worker/profile-resolution-bootstrap`。每个 Worker 在自己的 isolate 中安装结构化克隆的 generation。bootstrap bundle 不静态导入任何包；在 Windows 上，它会临时向 native loader 提供服务私有缓存目录，并在业务代码启动前恢复 Worker 环境。源码 Worker 入口保留自包含依赖，第三方 Worker 不接受注入。
 - **更新完成。** App boot 通过 `internal/update` waterfall 观察重启失败。实时 patch 重载在检查激活状态前等待配置树中的 fiber；单独调用 `Fiber.update()` 或 `Entry.update()` 不能确定重启成功。
-- **两阶段失败标签。** `boot()` 区分 `host preparation failed`（`prepare` 在任何配置树条目挂载前抛出）与 `plugin tree failed to load`。插件诊断包含原始堆栈、嵌套原因和聚合错误中的各项失败。原因链出现循环时，诊断遍历会终止，不会替换原始原因。
+- **单一 rejection 检查点。** `assertEntriesActivated` 把折入启动诊断的确切原因保持到下一个进程级 rejection 检查点可见，使 `installFailLoud` 能合并 Loader 的重复通知，而所有无关的未处理 rejection 仍然致命。
+- **两阶段失败标签。** `boot()` 区分 `host preparation failed`（`prepare` 在任何配置树条目挂载前抛出）与 `plugin tree failed to load`，并追加最深层插件错误的堆栈。插件诊断保留嵌套原因和聚合错误中的各项失败；原因链出现循环时会停止遍历，但不会替换原始错误。

 Bringing up a new `packages/client/<name>` plugin package (ui-workspace is a complete example; ui-sidebar/ui-user-questions are minimal skeletons):
 
 1. **Package skeleton**: `package.json` (`@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-<name>`, exports `.`/`./client`/`./src/*`/`./package.json`, optional `./invariant` only for an independent runtime relationship, `dsh.client` manifest, `files` list), `tsconfig.json` (extends `tsconfig.base.client.json`, one `references` entry per workspace dependency), `tsdown.config.ts` (`clientBundle(id, ['lib/types/index.js'])`, plus `lib/types/invariant.js` only when published), `src/index.ts` (empty node-half apply), optional `src/invariant.ts`, `src/css-modules.d.ts` when using CSS Modules, and `README.md` with the Model Experience section and the reason when no invariant is published.
-2. **Three registration surfaces, all required** (missing any one fails at a different, later point): the `tsconfig.client.json` aggregate `references` entry; a `dsh.client` row in `packages/bundle/web-app/cordis.patch.yml`; a `packages/bundle/web-app/package.json` dependency (profile boots resolve bare row names through the healed `$DSH_HOME/profiles/node_modules` fallback, which mirrors the app's and each bundle's declared dependencies — a row whose package no manifest declares fails to import). `pnpm-workspace.yaml` already globs `packages/*/*`.
+2. **Three registration surfaces, all required** (missing any one fails at a different, later point): the `tsconfig.client.json` aggregate `references` entry; a `dsh.client` row in `packages/bundle/web-app/cordis.patch.yml`; a `packages/bundle/web-app/package.json` dependency (profile boots resolve bare row names through the runtime generation computed from the app's and each bundle's declared dependencies — a row whose package no manifest declares fails to import). `pnpm-workspace.yaml` already globs `packages/*/*`.
 3. **dsh.client manifest semantics**: `platform: 'web'` always, and the declaration requires a `./client` export (the scan throws without one); `immediately: true` only for stage-one-prefetch infrastructure rows. `inject` lists package-name dependency edges — they are **informational only** (preflight display, HMR diffing); they do not sequence entry activation or apply order. Activation order is Cordis fiber inject waiting on *services*, nothing else. A non-baseline `external` request sequences its dynamic supplier ahead of the consumer — see [shared modules](#shared-modules-and-the-module-graph).
 4. **Registering into another package's slot**: apply order is unconstrained, and a business service is not a declaration barrier. Use `ctx.slots.inject(name, () => ctx.slots.register(...))`; it waits on the actual declaration, removes the contribution when that declaration collapses, reruns after redeclaration, and leaves with the caller's plugin fiber. Return a generator yielding each registration when several contributions must install and roll back atomically. A bare `slots.register` into an undeclared slot remains an error; keep service edges only for services the contribution actually reads.
 5. Rebuild the bundle (`pnpm --filter <pkg> bundle`) before probing a live `dsh web` server — the registry serves `lib/client.js`, not sources.
