boot/

Summary

The boot group provides what every dsh app bin needs to start: app-boot turns a cordis.yml plus your environment and patch layers into a running app with clear failure messages, and cmdline lets the app own its command-line flags and --help. With these packages you can run dsh or write a new application or test fixture that boots the same way. Both are libraries imported by apps/cli and test-only Loader fixtures, never plugins a composition loads. This page maps the group; each package README owns its per-package contract.

Packages

Package	Role	ctx key
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
