description: "The boot package group: how dsh app bins start — environment loading, profile and patch layers, clear startup failures, and app-owned command lines."

kind: "package-group"

boot/ — shared app-bin boot glue

English | 中文

Summary

The boot group launches profile applications and manages their installed composition. app-boot resolves configuration and starts the Loader, cmdline supplies application arguments, and plugin-manager exposes current-profile operations shared with the CLI. Each package README owns its details.

app-boot	Boots a dsh app from a cordis.yml: loads .env, applies profile and patch layers, and reports startup failures clearly	(library for the bins)
cmdline	Lets the app own its flags, --help, and exit code; passes everything after the launcher's flags through verbatim	cmdlineArgs, appExit
hmr	Coordinates module and configuration reloads with package mutations	hmr
plugin-manager	Manages current-profile plugins and bundle packages through shared CLI operations	pluginManager
