Document dsh as the only application launcher across architecture, CLI, SDK, app-boot, Python package, contributor, tutorial, and example references. Explain explicit home selection, profile and patch precedence, persistent external plugin installation, the Node-free runtime path, and the absence of complete-config or ~/.dsh fallbacks.
Record the Python profile-runtime decision and update the active naming, installed-wheel, and SEA packaging notes with precise supersession. Regenerate the configuration catalog and module graph after deleting the carrier, update both reviewed languages and pairing records, and classify the retained standalone Cordis files as lower-level test fixtures rather than launch interfaces.
Teach the profile installation fallback to use normal symlinks under Node and real ESM proxy packages under pkg. Each proxy records the source package version, mirrors its explicit runtime subpath exports, and re-exports the virtual /snapshot URLs, so built-in Loader rows and external plugin peers resolve one shared Cordis/module instance from an on-disk profile.
Keep proxy healing idempotent, reject foreign real directories, cover root and subpath imports in packaged mode, and expand AggregateError startup diagnostics so concurrent Loader failures retain their individual import causes. This is the reusable packaged-profile mechanism; Python-specific artifact wiring remains in the next commit.
Delete @deepseek-ai/dsh-sdk-python-runtime and its packaged-bin entry now that Python uses the repository's dsh application launcher. Remove the package's project reference, Knip entry, workspace-policy exception, executable allowlist entry, and README-model classification together so no tooling preserves the old exception.
This commit is deliberately mechanical: it removes the obsolete package and gate accommodations without introducing the replacement launch behavior. The following commits add the packaged dsh runtime and Python profile API, keeping the architecture change separate from deletion noise.
Master dimensions move from a 2048 long-edge rule to a total-pixel
budget (normalizedImageMaxPixels, default 2048x2048) with an 8192
long-edge cap, so extreme aspect ratios keep short-edge resolution.
The shared quality ladder and lazy execution move to encoding.ts,
review-round doc fixes land across attachment and llm packages, and
the superseded facts in the unified-image-pipeline note now describe
the shipped routing.
Delete the 5-bit colour-count classifier and palette PNG branch that
misrouted high-frequency photographic JPEGs (issue #2885 images 23/24)
into an encoder 100x slower with 4x larger output. Both normalization
and request-image encoding now route by the decoded alpha fact alone:
opaque sources down a JPEG ladder and alpha sources down a WebP
effort-0 ladder, each at qualities 85/75/60. Byte budgets become ladder
targets: the downscale retry loop is gone and a ladder-exhausted encode
keeps its smallest output, while provider byte caps stay enforced at
the transmitting route. Request transforms move to request-image-v5.
The spec landed on master before the roster gained the plugin-bundled
shipped root; its empty-roots harness now opts out explicitly, matching
every other exact-roster suite.
