The packer images the web template bundles, every optional bundle, and an installation manifest instead of a dumped composition, and the Worker boots that profile through app-boot like dsh web. Package-local lazy client chunks move into content-addressed archives that the VFS fetches on first asynchronous read; client-modules reads chunks asynchronously.
The Worker replaces node-addon-require-builtin with Node v24.18.0 internal-module interfaces and reports Node 24, so plugin metadata, the Cordis Loader, and HMR reach one cascaded loader backed by the Worker loader. Resolution failures carry Node error codes, the empty load cache lets HMR apply profile changes, and every optional bundle switches on and off live. Platform stubs throw ERR_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE_ON_PLATFORM.
* fix(webworker): load plugin manager and HMR in the preview Worker
The Worker disabled both rows, which left Creator mode's
tool-plugin-manager waiting for its service and the Plugins page without
a manageable profile. Only package commands are unavailable; the
services load. The Worker provides appReady from its own readiness
promise, resolved once the tunnel serves, and its process shim reports
no entry script, so HMR keeps only its profile configuration watches.
Fixes#5372
* fix(webworker): show xdg-open text files in a preview viewer
The Worker implements xdg-open as a platform executable that sends one
VFS text file to the page, which shows it in a read-only modal dialog.
Settings' "Open configuration file" now opens the profile patch in the
preview instead of failing on a missing desktop opener.
Fixes#5371
Two private experimental packages run the whole harness tree inside one
dedicated Web Worker. dsh-experimental-webworker-runtime owns the in-memory
VFS (BigInt stats with per-path identity and strictly increasing mtimes),
the CommonJS wrapper loader over a lazily-evaluated builtin table whose
shims typecheck against Node's own module types, the postMessage tunnel
speaking plain HTTP, the AsyncLocalStorage runtime, and the worker
assembly. dsh-experimental-webworker-packer lowers every module body at
pack time against the shared wrapper contract, sweeps the profile closure
by static reachability, and writes a deterministically gzip-compressed tar
the worker inflates through the browser's native DecompressionStream while
it downloads.
