# Profile management
English | [中文](boot.zh.md)
The [boot package group](../../packages/boot/README.md) owns launcher-provided profile access and the plugin manager. [Plugin Manager](../../packages/boot/plugin-manager/README.md) documents persistence, reload and package-operation behavior.
## Management records
`PluginEntryId` identifies one Loader entry; callers obtain it from `listPlugins` rather than constructing a patch id.
`PluginInfo` carries module identity, effective enablement and fiber phase, plus a unique `patchId` or a `readOnlyReason`.
`BundleInfo` carries the package name, optional installed version, selected enablement, removal availability and optional resolution error.
`InstallBundleOptions.enabled` defaults to true. False installs without selecting the bundle layer. `approvedBuilds` grants persistent script permission to the supplied pending package names before installation.
`ChangeResult.changed` reports a disk edit independently of `application`: `applied`, `restart-required`, `overridden` or `failed`. Optional `error` carries a localizable code and external diagnostic. `packageResult` records the pnpm exit code, bounded output, truncation flag and complete diagnostic log path. `pendingBuilds` lists undecided packages across the profile; `approvedBuilds` records the names granted permission by this operation.
## Cordis API
Generated from source by `scripts/gen-cordis-catalog.ts` (verified fresh by `pnpm run verify-cordis-catalog` in doc-sync; regenerate with `pnpm run gen-cordis-catalog`) — the language sides differ only in locale-specific paired document paths. Signature blocks use a `ts cordis-catalog` fence and keep the original source JSDoc; dispatch modes are defined in the [primer](../cordis-primer.md#dispatch-modes), and the framework-inherited `ctx` API lives in [cordis-api/inherited.md](../cordis-api/inherited.md).
### `ctx.hmr` — `Hmr`
Hot reload service with Cordis-compatible module configuration and events.
```ts cordis-catalog
/** Serialize a caller-owned mutation with all automatic reload paths.
* @param operation Work that must not overlap module or configuration replacement.
* @returns The operation result after its asynchronous work completes.
*/
runExclusive(operation: () => Promise): Promise
/** Watch a configuration path through the same queue as module replacement.
* @param filename Absolute path, which may not exist yet.
* @param refresh Rebuilds configuration from its current files and awaits Loader completion.
* @returns Disposer closing this registration and waiting for its pending refresh.
*/
async watchConfig(filename: string, refresh: () => Promise): Promise<() => Promise>
/** Read direct module dependency URLs from the active Node loader.
* @param url Module URL.
* @returns Linked module URLs, or an empty list for an uncached module.
*/
async getLinked(url: string): Promise
```

### `ctx.pluginManager` — `PluginManager`
Manage profile files and apply their declared reload lifecycle.
```ts cordis-catalog
/** Read current plugins, including why a row cannot be changed through the profile patch.
* @returns Current runtime entries with persistent patch targets.
*/
@Remote async listPlugins(): Promise
/** Read the profile's installed bundles, the bundles this dsh installation supplies, and the selected names that are not bundles.
* A dependency without a bundle patch is listed, as a `not-bundle` problem, only while it is selected.
* @returns Package versions, one-liners, rows, activation selections, whether the installation offers the
* bundle, and removal availability.
*/
@Remote listBundles(): Promise
/** Read what a spec names before installing it.
* @param spec One package spec: a registry name, an absolute path, a git address, or a tarball.
* @param signal Ends a registry lookup early.
* @returns The package the spec names, or why it is refused.
*/
@Remote async inspect(spec: string, signal?: AbortSignal): Promise
/** Persist a plugin entry's desired enablement and apply it on live profiles.
* @param id Loader entry identity returned by listPlugins.
* @param enabled Whether the plugin should run.
* @returns Saved and runtime outcomes, including higher-priority overrides.
*/
@Remote setPluginEnabled(id: PluginEntryId, enabled: boolean): Promise
/** Select or remove a bundle layer while retaining installed dependencies.
* @param name Bundle package name.
* @param enabled Whether the bundle contributes its patch layer.
* @returns Persisted and runtime outcomes.
*/
@Remote setBundleEnabled(name: string, enabled: boolean): Promise
/**
* Install a package using the same pnpm implementation as dsh plugin. A run
* that fails, is cancelled, or adds a package without a bundle patch restores
* `package.json` and `pnpm-lock.yaml` as they were; downloaded files can stay.
* @param spec One package spec, including local paths relative to the invocation directory.
* @param options Whether to activate the installed bundle (defaults to true), the request id a cancellation names, and
* the pending build scripts to allow for this profile before pnpm runs.
* @returns Package-manager diagnostics and observed activation outcome.
*/
@Remote installBundle(spec: string, options?: InstallBundleOptions): Promise
/** Stop an installation this manager owns and wait until its files are back.
* @param requestId The id the installation was started with.
* @returns `cancelled` once pnpm exited and the files are restored, `too-late` once the bundle is being
* applied, `not-running` for any other id.
*/
@Remote async cancelInstall(requestId: PluginInstallRequestId): Promise
/** Unload and remove a profile-owned bundle dependency through dsh plugin's pnpm path.
* @param name Installed dependency name.
* @returns Removal diagnostics and the remaining profile state.
*/
@Remote removeBundle(name: string): Promise

### `ctx.profileContext` — `ProfileContext`
Current profile facts; scheduling and mutation belong to their callers.
Source: [`packages/boot/app-boot/src/profile-context.ts`](../../packages/boot/app-boot/src/profile-context.ts)
### `hmr/*` events
#### `hmr/change` — emit
A watched file has no module or configuration handler.
```ts cordis-catalog
/** A watched file has no module or configuration handler.
* @mode emit
* @param url Canonical file URL.
*/
'hmr/change'(url: string): void
```
Source: [`packages/boot/hmr/src/index.ts`](../../packages/boot/hmr/src/index.ts)
#### `hmr/reload` — emit
Module replacements have finished loading.
```ts cordis-catalog
/** Module replacements have finished loading.
* @mode emit
* @param reloads Replaced plugins and their module locations.
*/
'hmr/reload'(reloads: Map): void
```
Source: [`packages/boot/hmr/src/index.ts`](../../packages/boot/hmr/src/index.ts)
### `plugin-manager/*` events
#### `plugin-manager/changed` — emit
The profile's plugins, bundles, or composition changed: a manager operation completed. A patch generation applied outside the manager, by HMR's watcher after a CLI or hand edit, announces nothing here.
```ts cordis-catalog
/**
* The profile's plugins, bundles, or composition changed: a manager
* operation completed. A patch generation applied outside the manager,
* by HMR's watcher after a CLI or hand edit, announces nothing here.
* @mode emit
* @param change - what changed.

```ts cordis-catalog
/**

* @mode emit
* @param chunk - the chunk and the run it belongs to.
*/
