Add node24-win-x64 as the only supported Windows runtime target and publish it as a py3-none-win_amd64 wheel containing the conventional dsh and ripgrep .exe payload names. Keep Windows ARM64 rejected explicitly so Python cannot claim a carrier that CI and release automation do not build.
Teach the pkg builder to require a native x64 Windows host, validate both node-pty ConPTY addons, copy @vscode's win32 ripgrep executable, and recognize pkg's .exe output. Extend runtime resolution, wheel staging, payload validation, and the preset closure check so the Windows-specific PowerShell plugins and sidecars fail loud when omitted.
The sidecar resolver now maps a packaged main.exe to main-rg.exe; focused TypeScript and Python tests cover that name, the win_amd64 manifest, x64-only host selection, complete wheel payload, ConPTY inventory, and platform-conditioned plugin closure.
Review asked why the launcher special-cases one plugin's row. It no
longer does: the four shipped compositions move into the package
(presets/, in files), dsh-agent-presets resolves its own shipped root
and prepends it before configured roots (includeShippedRoot, default
true, opt-out for bare-machinery embedders), and the per-composition
derived patch, its spec, and the dump layer are deleted — profile-boot
and dump-config return to plain layer stacking. The always-load
guarantee now rides the schema default instead of patch ordering, so a
whole-config replacement keeps the shipped set and the squash, reload
freeze, and dump divergence stop being possible.
Gate globs, the web scaffold, and both preset browser lanes drop their
hand-fed shipped roots; the roster e2e keeps asserting configured roots
beside the shipped four against the built lib.
Fixes#2863.
