The startup test helper always constructed an explicit sdk profile, so coverage never exercised apply's supported default-config path even though runtime behavior depended on it.\n\nPass Config objects through the helper and default them to an empty config. The existing startup and help tests now prove sdk defaulting, while the explicit sdk-minimal case remains covered.
Add a startup-only sdk-minimal template whose sole bundle inserts the complete JSON-RPC agent tree over the empty profile root. The roster is an explicit composition allowlist: it contains one DeepSeek adapter, the minimal agent spine, persistent Bash, the string-replace editor, local execution, and JSONL persistence, while dsh-base and Web remain absent.
Reuse the SDK app startup provider so the new profile retains help, stdin EOF, and bounded launcher shutdown semantics. Make that provider render its configured profile name, which keeps both sdk and sdk-minimal help truthful without duplicating process lifecycle code.
Register the package in the CLI closure, TypeScript graph, lockfile, Knip policy, and bilingual bundle references. Exact manifest, row-roster, profile-template, config-dump, and HMR tests make later additions visible instead of relying on a blacklist.
Move the shared module-reload policy into dsh-base by inserting its HMR row disabled, then remove the redundant disabled overrides from Web, headless, SDK, and ACP. No shipped profile enables server module reload; live profile patch watching continues through the launcher-owned config-only fallback, and browser client HMR remains a separate mechanism.
A later profile layer can opt into source-module reload explicitly with disabled: false while retaining the base root configuration. Composition tests cover every shipped mode and the explicit enable path, and the bundle references plus launcher Agent Notes document the resulting ownership and safety rationale.
Replace the TypeScript SDK's public arbitrary command/argv launch surface with the same-version dsh CLI, a named profile, ordered per-launch patches, optional process cwd, and explicit Harness home selection. Installed consumers use the built CLI; clean source checkouts use the package's src/bin.ts through an absolute tsx/esm loader and a source-only patch that omits build-generated Typert loading.
Materialize explicit or inherited environments at spawn time, keep profile-internal patches below caller patches, and resolve every caller-relative path before the child starts. The SDK subagent provider validates its optional CLI and patch files at plugin load and requires an isolated absolute child home.
Treat JSON-RPC initialize as the Loader-owned readiness point: Loader settlement joins entry imports, fiber lifecycle work, and synchronous effect registration, so the server needs no scheduler tick. A delayed profile entry registers a private adapter before initialize resolves, proving caller-supplied plugin routes are visible without fallback.
Update sdk-app ownership, server diagnostics, TypeScript SDK examples, nested-loader coverage, and session-upload replay layering together. The following commit contains only the regenerated SDK transcripts, keeping this API and lifecycle change directly reviewable.
Introduce @deepseek-ai/dsh-sdk-app as the thin application layer for the built-in sdk profile. The bundle contributes the JSON-RPC server and startup-only profile metadata, while dsh-base continues to own the shared agent, provider, persistence, and tool composition.
Publish ctx.appReady from the launcher only after the Loader tree and launcher-owned setup succeed. The stdio lifetime binding leaves stdin unread until the protocol transport claims it and defers EOF exit 0 until readiness commits, so early protocol frames remain buffered and a racing startup failure remains the nonzero process outcome. Fiber disposal cancels both pending lifecycle listeners.
Register the bundle in the CLI resolver closure, generated configuration catalog, workspace graph, and built-bin smoke. Startup tests prove that base plus sdk-app exposes the SDK server without taking ownership of shared runtime plugins; focused and built-bin regressions cover early input, EOF readiness, and startup-error precedence.
