feat(cli)!: dsh boots profiles; plugin subcommand manages them via pnpm

dsh --profile <name> replaces the fixed entry modes: --config and -p are
removed, --patch adds overlays over the composed profile, a positional task
selects one-shot mode (requires the headless-runner row), and dsh web stays as
the alias for --profile web carrying the Web flag family as patches. dsh
plugin --profile <name> forwards verbatim to pnpm in the profile directory,
initializes on first use, and reconciles the dsh.plugins layer list after
add/remove (patch-less packages warn and stay plain dependencies). Config
dumps and the keyless web e2e scaffold compose the same bundle layers over the
same empty root as the boot.

 ## Entry modes
 
 | Command | Purpose |
 |---|---|
-| `dsh --config ./app.cordis.yml` | Run an explicit patch-list configuration over the shipped base. |
-| `dsh web` | Start the browser UI with the shipped Web composition and optional personal configuration. |
-| `dsh -p "task"` | Run one fresh persisted session, print the final answer, and exit. |
+| `dsh --profile <name>` | Boot the named profile under `$DSH_HOME/profiles/<name>`. |
+| `dsh --profile headless "task"` | Run one fresh persisted session, print the final answer, and exit. |
+| `dsh web` | Alias of `--profile web` with the Web flag family (`--host`, `--port`, `--dev`, ...). |
+| `dsh plugin --profile <name> <pnpm args>` | Manage a profile's plugins by forwarding to pnpm in the profile directory. |
 
-The invoking directory is the default workspace root. Web and headless share the shipped provider, persistence, policy, tool, repository Plugin, and telemetry composition; raw config selects its own deployment-specific front door.
+The invoking directory is the default workspace root. The `web` and `headless` profiles auto-initialize on first use from shipped templates; any other profile must be created through `dsh plugin`.
 
-## Raw config
+## Profiles
 
-Raw `dsh` requires `--config`. The named patch list is applied directly over [`config/base.cordis.yml`](config/base.cordis.yml); it is not a complete replacement tree and does not add a surface overlay or personal `$DSH_HOME/config.yaml`. Use `--dump-default-config` and `--dump-config` to inspect the resulting tree without booting it.
+A profile directory holds a `package.json` (out-of-tree plugin dependencies plus the ordered `dsh.plugins` bundle list) and a `cordis.patch.yml` (the user's own patch layer, hot-reloaded on long-lived surfaces). The tree composes over an empty root: each bundle's patch in `dsh.plugins` order, then `cordis.patch.yml`, then `--patch` overlays, then flag patches. Bundles named in `dsh.plugins` resolve from the dsh installation first (`@deepseek-ai/dsh-base`, `@deepseek-ai/dsh-web-app`, `@deepseek-ai/dsh-headless`), then from the profile's own `node_modules`, where pnpm installs out-of-tree plugins. Use `--dump-default-config` and `--dump-config` to inspect the composed tree without booting it.

+profile 目录包含一个 `package.json`（树外插件依赖，加上有序的 `dsh.plugins` 组合包列表）和一个 `cordis.patch.yml`（用户自己的 patch 层，在长期运行的 surface 上热重载）。配置树在空根之上组合：先按 `dsh.plugins` 顺序应用各组合包的 patch，然后是 `cordis.patch.yml`，然后是 `--patch` overlay，最后是 flag patch。`dsh.plugins` 中列出的组合包先从 dsh 安装目录解析（`@deepseek-ai/dsh-base`、`@deepseek-ai/dsh-web-app`、`@deepseek-ai/dsh-headless`），再从 profile 自己的 `node_modules` 解析；pnpm 把树外插件安装在后者。使用 `--dump-default-config` 和 `--dump-config` 可在不启动的情况下检查组合后的配置树。

-          You are in plan mode. Stay in plan mode until exit_plan_mode succeeds or the user switches the session mode. Imperative language to implement changes means plan the implementation, not execute it. A user's conversational agreement — including an answer confirming something you asked — approves nothing and does not end plan mode; fold the confirmed decision into the plan and submit it through exit_plan_mode.
-
-          Explore first. Use non-mutating reads, searches, static analysis, and checks to ground the plan in the actual repository. Do not edit or write files, change configuration, run formatters or code generation that rewrites tracked files, commit, or otherwise carry out the plan. Prefer existing functions and patterns over new machinery.
-
-          The tool catalog stays the same across modes for request-cache stability. These plan-mode rules override any later tool description or guidance that suggests using mutation tools; those tools remain listed only to keep the request shape stable. Do not use todo_write to track this planning phase: it tracks implementation after an approved plan, while the plan itself belongs in exit_plan_mode.
-
-          Resolve discoverable facts by inspection. Use ask_user_question only for user-owned choices or material ambiguity that inspection cannot answer. Do not ask the user where code lives or how current behavior works when you can find out.
-
-          Make the plan decision-complete: state the goal and success criteria; group implementation changes by subsystem; identify public API, schema, and data-flow changes; cover edge cases, failure modes, tests, acceptance criteria, and explicit assumptions. Keep it concise enough to review but detailed enough that another engineer can implement it without making design decisions.
-
-          When ready, call exit_plan_mode with the complete plan markdown, starting with a # title. Make exit_plan_mode the only and final tool call in that assistant response: it presents the plan for approval, and implementation begins only in a later step after approval. Do not paste the final plan as a plain reply or ask "should I proceed?" through prose or ask_user_question. If review rejects it, incorporate the feedback and present again. If the review channel is unavailable or aborted, stay in plan mode and ask the user to switch modes manually; do not proceed with implementation.

+This reference defines the profile, web-alias, plugin-management, and config-dump command modes. Argv is parsed once through [`src/args.ts`](../src/args.ts), and [`src/bin.ts`](../src/bin.ts) dynamically imports only the selected runner.
 
-## Raw config
+## Profile boot
 
-Raw `dsh` requires an explicit patch-list config:
+`dsh --profile <name>` boots the profile at `$DSH_HOME/profiles/<name>`. The effective tree is composed over an empty root by applying, in order: each bundle patch named in the profile manifest's `dsh.plugins` list, the profile's own `cordis.patch.yml`, each `--patch <path>` overlay in argv order, and launcher flag patches. Later layers win per row; a patch replaces the targeted row's complete `config` value rather than deep-merging keys, and may insert new rows. A parse, schema, resolution, or plugin boot failure is reported and exits nonzero. SIGINT and SIGTERM dispose the mounted root before exit.
 
-```sh
-dsh --config ./app.cordis.yml
-```
+Bundle names resolve from the dsh installation first, then from the profile directory. In-box bundles (`@deepseek-ai/dsh-base`, `@deepseek-ai/dsh-web-app`, `@deepseek-ai/dsh-headless`) therefore always come from the same installation as the running `dsh`; out-of-tree bundles come from the profile's pnpm-managed `node_modules`. A bare plugin `name` in any patch row resolves through the profile directory's Node parent-walk, which reaches the maintained installation fallback `$DSH_HOME/profiles/node_modules` (one symlink per package the installation's app and bundles depend on, healed on every launch).
 
-The named file is applied directly over [`config/base.cordis.yml`](../config/base.cordis.yml) through the Include plugin's patch algorithm. It is not a complete replacement tree, and neither the personal `$DSH_HOME/config.yaml` nor another surface overlay is added. The base deliberately contains no startup agent or interaction front door; the required overlay selects those deployment details. Relative config paths resolve from the invoking directory. A parse, schema, resolution, or plugin boot failure is reported and exits nonzero. SIGINT and SIGTERM dispose the mounted root before exit.
+The `web` and `headless` profiles auto-initialize from shipped templates on first use (`web`: base + web-app; `headless`: base + web-app + headless). Any other missing profile fails loud with a hint to run `dsh plugin --profile <name> add <package>`.
 
-A patch targets a base row by `id` and replaces that row's complete `config` value rather than deep-merging keys. Patch lists may also insert new rows whose plugin modules the shipped Loader can resolve:
+A positional task (`dsh --profile headless "run the tests"`) requires the composition to mount the one-shot runner row (`headless-runner`); the launcher patches the task text into that row, the runner drives one fresh persisted session through the in-process API carrier, prints the final assistant text on stdout, and exits 0 on a completed turn, else 1. The session's Web host runs on an OS-assigned port and is announced on stderr, so the run is observable in a browser.
 
-```yaml
-- id: agent-loop
-  config:
-    agents:
-      - id: main
-        provider: deepseek-official
-        model: deepseek-v4-flash
+Inspect the composed tree without booting it:
+
+```sh
+dsh --profile web --dump-default-config
+dsh --profile web --patch ./extra.yml --dump-config
 ```
 
-Inspect the effective tree without booting it:
+`--dump-default-config` prints only the bundle layers; `--dump-config` adds the profile's `cordis.patch.yml` and `--patch` overlays. Both print provenance comments per layer; `!!js` expressions remain unevaluated, and unmatched patch targets are reported on stderr.
+
+## Plugin management
+
+`dsh plugin --profile <name> <args...>` initializes the profile when missing (shipped template, or `@deepseek-ai/dsh-base` alone for other names), then forwards `<args...>` verbatim to `pnpm` with the profile directory as working directory — `add`, `remove`, `why`, `update`, and every other pnpm verb work unchanged; pnpm must be on PATH. After a successful `add`, a package whose manifest declares `"dsh": { "patch": "./cordis.patch.yml" }` is appended to `dsh.plugins` (last layer); a package without that declaration stays a plain dependency and prints a warning. `remove` drops the package from `dsh.plugins`.
 
 ```sh
-dsh --dump-default-config
-dsh --config ./app.cordis.yml --dump-config
+dsh plugin --profile tui add github:deepseek-harness/turtle-ui
+dsh plugin --profile tui remove turtle-ui
+dsh --profile tui
 ```
 
-`--dump-default-config` prints only the shipped base. `--dump-config` requires `--config` and prints base plus overlay with provenance comments. Composition uses `applyEntryPatches` and `entryListSchema` from `@cordisjs/plugin-include`; `!!js` expressions remain unevaluated, and unmatched patch targets are reported on stderr.
+## Web alias
 
-## Web and headless
-
-`dsh web` boots `base.cordis.yml` plus [`config/web.cordis.yml`](../config/web.cordis.yml), followed by `$DSH_HOME/config.yaml` when present. `dsh web --config <path>` replaces that personal layer with the explicit patch list. `--host`, `--port`, `--workspace-root`, and repeatable `--trusted-host` values become Web host patches; their owning plugin schemas validate them at boot. `--dev` mounts the client-plugin HMR receiver and expects a separate `pnpm run dev:web` watcher for no-refresh client bundle updates.
+`dsh web` is a hardcoded alias for `--profile web` that additionally accepts the Web flag family. `--host`, `--port`, `--workspace-root`, and repeatable `--trusted-host` values become patches over the composed rows; their owning plugin schemas validate them at boot. `--dev` switches the web-runtime row to development mode and inserts the client-plugin HMR receiver; it expects a separate `pnpm run dev:web` watcher for no-refresh client bundle updates.

 The production Web runner needs built package and frontend artifacts (`pnpm run build`). It serves `http://127.0.0.1:3080` by default. Binding all interfaces also trusts the machine's discovered LAN IP literals; `--trusted-host` adds named authorities accepted by the `/api` browser-trust fence.
 
-`dsh -p "task"` uses the same base and Web composition with the startup personal config, starts its Web host on an OS-assigned port, runs one fresh persisted session, prints the final answer, and exits. It accepts neither `--config` nor raw config-dump flags.

-Web and headless process shutdown gives the plugin tree up to five seconds to dispose. The first `SIGINT`/`SIGTERM` starts that graceful drain; a second signal forces immediate exit. If headless normal completion is already stuck in disposal, the first `Ctrl+C` is the escalation and exits immediately instead of being swallowed.

If one-shot normal completion is already stuck in disposal, the first `Ctrl+C` is the escalation and exits immediately instead of being swallowed.
 
-Both modes treat the invoking directory as the default workspace root, load applicable `AGENTS.md` or `CLAUDE.md` instructions with a 65,536-byte render budget, and use an in-memory SQLite session content index. Web watches valid personal config edits; headless reads the file once at startup. The [app-boot personal-config contract](../../../packages/ui/app-boot/README.md#personal-config) owns layer precedence, credential storage, live-update failure behavior, and `$DSH_HOME` resolution.
+All modes treat the invoking directory as the default workspace root, load applicable `AGENTS.md` or `CLAUDE.md` instructions with a 65,536-byte render budget, and use an in-memory SQLite session content index. Long-lived surfaces watch valid `cordis.patch.yml` edits and reapply them transactionally; one-shot runs read the file once at startup.
 
 New sessions default to the `workspace-write` permission preset. Bash and filesystem mutations are restricted to the session workspace and platform temporary roots; reads, network access, and process visibility are not confined. `DSH_PERMISSION_MODE` changes the process fallback. Stored General-settings permissions affect later Web sessions, not an already-open one.
 
-`DSH_TOOLS_MODE` selects `native`, `code`, or `both` for the Web/headless process; another value fails at boot. [`config/core-web.cordis.yml`](../config/core-web.cordis.yml) is an optional Web overlay that reduces the native model surface to persistent `bash` and `str_replace_editor` while retaining the shipped host, browser, workspace, persistence, and permission composition.

 ## Shared deployment behavior
 
-The base mounts the native DeepSeek adapter, settings and credential providers, stable `web_search`, repository Plugin support, and session telemetry. Provider credentials live in `$DSH_HOME/.env` or the ambient environment and remain rotatable because the launcher never hoists the credential file into `process.env`. Search uses `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` and accepts `DEEPSEEK_SEARCH_BASE_URL`; `web_fetch` is disabled unless an overlay inserts a provider and enables it.

Search uses `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` and accepts `DEEPSEEK_SEARCH_BASE_URL`; `web_fetch` is disabled unless a patch layer inserts a provider and enables it.
 
 Session events stream as OTLP/HTTP logs by default. `DSH_TELEMETRY_OTLP_URL` selects another collector. Any non-empty `DSH_TELEMETRY_DISABLED` disables the telemetry row before boot. The shipped base has no telemetry redaction rule, so exported records can contain message text, tool arguments and results, and workspace paths; the [telemetry Agent Note](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/feature/2026-07-31-web-telemetry-default-mount.md) owns that deployment decision.
 
-The empty `repository-plugins` row lets Web/headless personal config and raw overlays mount prepared immutable repository Plugin generations. See the [repository Plugin contract](../../../packages/cordis/repository-plugin/README.md#standalone-app-configuration). The CLI also ships `@deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client` as a dependency for overlays, but no MCP server is enabled by default because each server command is trusted executable code outside the agent sandbox.

-## 原始配置
+## Profile 启动
 
-原始 `dsh` 必须提供显式 patch 列表配置：
+`dsh --profile <name>` 启动位于 `$DSH_HOME/profiles/<name>` 的 profile。生效配置树在空根节点之上按以下顺序逐层组合：profile manifest（元数据清单）的 `dsh.plugins` 列表所列的各个组合包 patch、profile 自身的 `cordis.patch.yml`、按 argv 顺序的各个 `--patch <path>` overlay，以及启动器 flag patch。后应用的层按行胜出；patch 替换目标行完整的 `config` 值，而不是深度合并各键，并且可以插入新行。配置解析、schema 校验、模块解析或插件启动失败会得到报告并以非零状态退出。收到 SIGINT 或 SIGTERM 时，挂载的根节点会先 dispose（资源释放）再退出。
 
-```sh
-dsh --config ./app.cordis.yml
-```
+组合包名称先从 dsh 安装解析，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`）总是来自与正在运行的 `dsh` 相同的安装；树外组合包来自 profile 由 pnpm 管理的 `node_modules`。任何 patch 行中的裸插件 `name` 通过 profile 目录的 Node 父目录逐级查找解析，该查找可达到持续维护的安装后备目录 `$DSH_HOME/profiles/node_modules`（安装的应用和组合包所依赖的每个包对应一个符号链接，每次启动时修复）。
 
-指定文件通过 Include 插件的 patch 算法直接应用到 [`config/base.cordis.yml`](../config/base.cordis.yml) 之上。它不是完整替代树，也不会添加个人 `$DSH_HOME/config.yaml` 或其他 surface overlay。基础配置刻意不包含启动 agent（智能体）或交互前端入口；必填 overlay 负责选择这些部署细节。相对配置路径从调用目录解析。配置解析、schema 校验、模块解析或插件启动失败会得到报告并以非零状态退出。收到 SIGINT 或 SIGTERM 时，挂载的根节点会先 dispose（资源释放）再退出。
+`web` 和 `headless` profile 首次使用时会从随附模板自动初始化（`web`：base + web-app；`headless`：base + web-app + headless）。其他缺失的 profile 会显式报错，并提示运行 `dsh plugin --profile <name> add <package>`。
 
-patch 通过 `id` 定位基础配置行，并替换该行完整的 `config` 值，而不是深度合并各键。patch 列表也可插入新行，只要随附 Loader 能解析其插件模块：
+位置参数任务（`dsh --profile headless "run the tests"`）要求组合挂载一次性运行器行（`headless-runner`）；启动器把任务文本 patch 进该行，运行器通过进程内 API 载体驱动一个全新的持久化会话，在 stdout 打印最终 assistant 文本，并在轮次完成时以 0 退出，否则以 1 退出。会话的 Web 宿主运行在 OS 分配的端口上并公布到 stderr，因此该次运行可在浏览器中观察。
 
-```yaml
-- id: agent-loop
-  config:
-    agents:
-      - id: main
-        provider: deepseek-official
-        model: deepseek-v4-flash
+可在不启动的情况下检查组合出的配置树：
+
+```sh
+dsh --profile web --dump-default-config
+dsh --profile web --patch ./extra.yml --dump-config
 ```
 
-可在不启动的情况下检查生效的配置树：
+`--dump-default-config` 只打印组合包各层；`--dump-config` 额外加上 profile 的 `cordis.patch.yml` 和 `--patch` overlay。两者都会按层打印来源注释；`!!js` 表达式保持未求值，找不到目标的 patch 会报告到 stderr。
+
+## 插件管理
+
+`dsh plugin --profile <name> <args...>` 在 profile 缺失时先初始化它（有随附模板的用模板，其他名称只装 `@deepseek-ai/dsh-base`），然后以 profile 目录为工作目录，把 `<args...>` 原样转发给 `pnpm`：`add`、`remove`、`why`、`update` 及其他所有 pnpm 子命令都照常可用；pnpm 必须在 PATH 上。`add` 成功后，manifest 中声明 `"dsh": { "patch": "./cordis.patch.yml" }` 的包会被追加到 `dsh.plugins`（最后一层）；没有该声明的包保持为普通依赖并打印警告。`remove` 把包从 `dsh.plugins` 中移除。
 
 ```sh
-dsh --dump-default-config
-dsh --config ./app.cordis.yml --dump-config
+dsh plugin --profile tui add github:deepseek-harness/turtle-ui
+dsh plugin --profile tui remove turtle-ui
+dsh --profile tui
 ```
 
-`--dump-default-config` 只打印随附基础配置。`--dump-config` 必须与 `--config` 同时使用，并打印基础配置和带来源注释的 overlay。组合使用 `@cordisjs/plugin-include` 的 `applyEntryPatches` 与 `entryListSchema`；`!!js` 表达式保持未求值，找不到目标的 patch 会报告到 stderr。
+## Web 别名
 
-## Web 与无头模式
-
-`dsh web` 启动 `base.cordis.yml` 加 [`config/web.cordis.yml`](../config/web.cordis.yml)，并在 `$DSH_HOME/config.yaml` 存在时继续加载它。`dsh web --config <path>` 用显式 patch 列表替代该个人层。`--host`、`--port`、`--workspace-root` 和可重复的 `--trusted-host` 值会成为 Web 宿主 patch；负责这些值的插件 schema 会在启动时验证它们。`--dev` 挂载客户端插件 HMR（热模块替换）接收器；若要无刷新更新客户端 bundle，还需单独运行 `pnpm run dev:web` watcher。
+`dsh web` 是 `--profile web` 的硬编码别名，并额外接受 Web flag 系列。`--host`、`--port`、`--workspace-root` 和可重复的 `--trusted-host` 值会成为作用在组合行之上的 patch；负责这些值的插件 schema 会在启动时验证它们。`--dev` 把 web-runtime 行切换到开发模式并插入客户端插件 HMR（热模块替换）接收器；若要无刷新更新客户端 bundle，还需单独运行 `pnpm run dev:web` watcher。
 
 ```sh
 dsh web
-dsh web --config ./web-profile.cordis.yml
-dsh web --dump-default-config
+dsh web --patch ./extra.cordis.yml
 dsh web --dump-config
 ```
 
 生产 Web 运行器需要已构建的包和前端产物（`pnpm run build`）。默认服务地址是 `http://127.0.0.1:3080`。绑定所有接口时，还会信任机器自动发现的 LAN IP 字面量；`--trusted-host` 可添加 `/api` 浏览器信任围栏接受的具名 authority。
 
-`dsh -p "task"` 使用同一基础配置和 Web 组合，并加载启动时的个人配置；它在 OS 分配的端口上启动 Web 宿主，运行一个新的持久化会话，打印最终答案并退出。它不接受 `--config` 或原始配置 dump flag。
-
-Web 和无头进程关闭时会给插件树最多 5 秒完成 dispose。第一次 `SIGINT`/`SIGTERM` 启动该优雅排空；第二次信号强制立即退出。如果无头模式正常结束时已经卡在 dispose 中，第一次 `Ctrl+C` 就会升格并立即退出，而不会被吞掉。
