Add the first-party open-in-app host and client packages with a localized Open In menu in the Web Session header. Resolve installed applications on macOS, Windows, and Linux, launch workspace directories through platform-specific adapters, and remember the selected application. Closes #1500.

host/ — web-GUI host half
English | 中文
Summary
The host/ group provides the web GUI's plain HTTP server, the SPA dist server that serves the built Web shell, the workspace-directory picking seam with its native, browse, and adaptive composition packages, the open-in-app application probe and launch routes, and the read-only plugin inventory projection. All eight packages are product packages; the browser transport lives in client/, and the composed application is apps/cli booting the dsh-base bundle that serves the web app under apps/web/. The picker backends replace one another behind the shared seam.

Packages
Eight packages play the host roles; each package README owns its contract and configuration.

webserver/ |
Browser HTTP server: named routes, upgrades, index taps, and the fallback seat | ctx.webServer |
frontend-static/ |
SPA dist server on the webserver fallback seat | consumes ctx.webServer |
directory-picker/ |
Workspace-directory picking seam: capability contract and error vocabulary | ctx.directoryPicker |
directory-picker-native/ |
Native-OS-chooser backend for operators at the host display | registers ctx.directoryPicker |
directory-picker-browse/ |
In-app directory-browser backend, including for remote clients | registers ctx.directoryPicker |
directory-picker-auto/ |
Host-adaptive chooser that mounts the matching backend at boot | mounts a backend |
open-in-app/ |
Application probe, icon, and launch routes opening the workspace directory in an installed application | consumes ctx.webServer |

Start with the subsystem references for the transport and the workspace records, then the layering decision behind the Web client.
- HTTP server subsystem — the webserver's routes, matching order, and config.
- Workspace subsystem — the workspace records the directory picker feeds.
- Web config-tree boot and transport layering — ownership of the Web transport layers.
