Turtle 3f7016a422 feat(config): add volatile schemas and watcher-driven updates (#4579)
* feat(cordis): add volatile config references without remounting

* refactor(cordis): use internal prefix for volatile updates

* fix(schemastery): preserve metadata-free serialized schemas

* refactor(config): move volatile updates into an opt-in Loader plugin

* refactor(config): reuse Loader context patch for volatile updates

* refactor(config): let the volatile watcher commit equal candidates

* refactor(config): separate comparison from volatile reconciliation

* refactor(loader): extract pure entry option diff

* refactor(loader): compare volatile config through schema metadata

* refactor(loader): make volatile comparison policy explicit

* refactor: name config reload and volatile HMR events

* refactor(loader): compare volatile config in one schema walk; declare hmr/volatile-update in volatile-hmr

Replace the mask/project pair in vendor/loader/src/config/diff.ts with one recursive schema-guided comparison. Absent objects now compare as their declared schema default at every object node, not only under volatile ancestors; both inputs resolve to the same validated config, so the one changed assertion (undefined vs {} under a non-volatile object schema) becomes unchanged. The isJsExpr special case is dropped: expression keys fall through to raw comparison.

Move the hmr/volatile-update Events declaration from vendored Cordis core to its producer, packages/boot/volatile-hmr, matching how dsh-hmr declares hmr/change and hmr/reload. Vendored cordis events.ts returns to upstream content; the inherited Cordis API catalog and the event matrix are regenerated, and the tutorial example imports the package types.

* fix(cosmokit): compare sparse array slots in deepEqual; extend volatile diff coverage

Array.prototype.every skipped holes, so deepEqual(Array(1), ['new']) was true in one direction. Compare every index with holes read as undefined.

config/diff.ts treats expression objects as opaque values even when a schema field shares the marker name, and looks up field schemas with Object.hasOwn so unknown keys named after Object prototype members compare raw. Tests cover absent-object defaults, sparse arrays in both directions, prototype-named keys, metadata-free serialized schema nodes, and a runtime remount check in volatile-hmr. READMEs and the architecture note describe the object-default rule.

* test(schemastery): build serialized schema fixtures without unknown casts

verify-no-unknown-casts rejects the two as-unknown assertions in scripts/volatile-config.spec.ts. Parse the serialized nodes from JSON text instead, matching scripts/loader-config-diff.spec.ts.

* docs(volatile-hmr): drop the scope-scan tag from hmr/volatile-update

verify-scoped-events rejects @dshScopeScan on an event that carries no scoped keys. Catalogs and the event matrix are regenerated.

* docs: regenerate module graph for the volatile-hmr dependency edge

verify-module-graph reports the merged docs stale: volatile-hmr now lists its app-boot dependency.

* test(volatile-hmr): watch the real YAML through an exact config watch

The Windows coverage lane lost the whole spec: its vitest worker exited without a report once this test started a chokidar directory watch (root: ['.']), the only real directory watch in the test suite. Register the include file through hmr.watchConfig instead, the pattern the HMR package's own real-file tests run on Windows, and emit loader/config-reload from the refresh callback as the root-watch path does. packages/boot/hmr/tests/coordination.spec.ts already covers that root-watch emission with a mocked watcher; volatile-hmr and hmr sources stay at 100% coverage.

* test(volatile-hmr): pass the Include path as a file URL

On Windows the plain absolute path made the include subtree fail to load, so the profile-patch test found no consumer entry. Other Include fixtures in this spec already pass file URLs.

* refactor(loader): commit volatile config in Entry.update and remove volatile-hmr

loader/config-reload was emitted from two places (app-boot profile reconciliation and the HMR root watch) and by hand in tests, because a separate plugin needed a "configuration applied" signal to run its own pass. Every update path already funnels through Entry.update, which is where the Loader decides to skip a remount for a volatile-only change. Entry._commitVolatile now parses the candidate through the fiber's internal/config hook and schema, commits the new values into the running references when the ordinary effective values still match, and emits loader/volatile-update to the owning fiber. A changed ordinary effective value falls back to the ordinary remount instead of leaving the instance stale; an invalid candidate is logged and keeps the running references, with the raw config retained for the next activation. Forced group updates take the same path.

Remove packages/boot/volatile-hmr, its event, the app-boot loader/config-reload declaration and emit, and the HMR emission. Loader runtime and real-file tests move to scripts/loader-volatile-update.spec.ts. Docs, catalogs, the event matrix, module graph and the architecture note follow.

* test: share the volatile schema fixture between the schema and Loader specs

The duplication gate flagged the identical Config fixture in scripts/volatile-config.spec.ts and scripts/loader-volatile-update.spec.ts.

* refactor(loader): reduce config/diff.ts to equalExceptVolatile

Entry.update now computes the strict raw option changes itself and only asks diff.ts whether two raw configs differ at most in volatile fields. The ignoreVolatile flag, the options object and the "config is the sole change" rule leave diff.ts; they were the Loader's decision and now sit next to the commit they gate. The raw-config deepEqual in the volatile branch is gone because the strict change list already answers it.

* refactor(loader): type the volatile comparison against Schemastery's Schema

config/diff.ts narrows the plugin's Standard Schema to Schemastery's own Schema type instead of a hand-written structural interface, which makes vendor/loader a type-only dependent of @deepseek-ai/schemastery. The rescope codemod treats the vendor identifier comparison like schemastery's own source and renames the import through an exact edit.

* fix(loader): address review findings on the volatile commit path

Entry.update only replaces the fiber's pending raw config for a volatile-only change, so a noSave direct update survives a no-op entry update. _commitVolatile logs at debug level when ordinary effective values changed and the ordinary update applies, dispatches loader/volatile-update with a Context receiver like Cordis' own filtered emits, and isolates a throwing listener. Schemastery reports unsupported volatile values as ValidationError with their path and validates a lazy inner once when it is built. The inherited-event catalog gains internal/config and corrected source lines; the Loader spec imports dsh-hmr by package name and covers the new behaviors. Docs record that class-instance ordinary fields always take the remount path and that .default() accepts the raw input type.

Reload plugin code and profile configuration through one coordinated queue. package-reference

@deepseek-ai/dsh-hmr

English | 中文

Summary

Reload plugin source and configuration while an application is running. Module replacements, Include refreshes and profile configuration changes share one queue. Package installation runs outside that queue. Existing Cordis HMR configuration and events remain available under ctx.hmr.

Table of Contents


Use this package

The base bundle enables HMR with root: [] when the launcher supplies profileContext; hosts without that profile context leave this entry disabled. Headless, SDK and ACP bundles disable that entry in YAML; a later profile patch can enable it. Disabling or omitting HMR applies changes on restart. To enable source-module watching, configure the hmr entry supplied by the base bundle in the profile patch before launching:

- id: hmr
  disabled: false
  config:
    root: ["."]

Existing configurations replace the module name @deepseek-ai/cordis-plugin-hmr with @deepseek-ai/dsh-hmr. The hmr service key, baseDir, config, getLinked(), getOuterStack(), hmr/change and hmr/reload remain available. The vendored package remains available; DSH profiles use this package.

Configuration

Field Default Meaning
base Context base URL Base directory for module watching.
root ["."] Module watch roots; [] retains only explicit configuration watches.
ignored ["**/node_modules", "**/.*", "cache", "data"] Excluded module paths.
debounce 100 Milliseconds for combining module changes.

Chokidar options, including polling, retain their existing meaning. Exact configuration watches also observe additions, removals and initially missing parent directories. They default to awaitWriteFinish: true: edits wait for Chokidar's 2-second write-stability window, avoiding its lossy change-event throttle. Configure awaitWriteFinish to adjust that window; disabling it can miss rapid consecutive edits. Direct Plugin Manager operations apply without waiting for file events.


Understand the implementation

Implementation internals — click to expand

watchConfig() registers an awaited configuration handler. runExclusive() serializes configuration changes and Loader updates with automatic reloads and rejects nested transactions. Package installation and removal run outside this queue. HMR does not acquire the package writer lock; manifest notifications reload only when the ordered dsh.profile.bundles list changes. Profile and home patch changes also trigger recomposition. File events received during a configuration transaction are processed afterward. Include refreshes and profile reconciliation reach plugins through ordinary Loader entry updates; Loader commits volatile-only changes in place.

App-boot owns profile parsing and patch precedence. HMR reads the launcher’s data-only profileContext, registers the profile manifest and both user patch watches during initialization, and waits for application readiness before processing changes. Its disposal closes the watchers and cancels reloads waiting for startup. HMR also owns module-cache replacement and reload scheduling. Configuration watchers start outside the active transaction context so later notifications can enter the queue. No invariant companion is published because the queue and watcher registrations have no independent persisted projection.

Watched module paths use Node ESM resolution's realpathSync() spelling, including Windows short directory names, so file events match the module cache.

The module replacement implementation derives from @cordisjs/plugin-hmr 1.0.15, with Harness Node-loader and lazy-config changes. Its MIT license is retained.

Model Experience

Reloaded plugins

What the model sees

ctx.hmr adds no model-facing tools or messages. Loaded plugins determine subsequent tool and prompt contributions.

Token effect

No direct token contribution.

KV Cache effect

Reloading a contributing plugin can change later request prefixes; HMR does not rewrite conversation history.

Known Limitations and Deferred Work

  • Module replacement requires Node loader internals. Framework dependency changes call the host-provided loader.exit() hook; HMR itself does not restart the process.
  • Replacing installed package versions still requires a restart through Plugin Manager. The browser Client module graph retains its separate browser-side loading mechanism.

Dev Note

None.
