feat(launcher): run the bundled Gentle Shell with its exact Pi and add bundled upgrade - #2076
Merged
Merged
Conversation
…d bundled upgrade A launcher running from <prefix>/versions/<id> that current points at is in bundled mode: it runs only the Pi pinned by that version, never GENTLE_SHELL_PI, an adjacent fallback or PATH, and gives Pi, setup and subagents the bundled environment (our Node and npm first, npm settings in the prefix, PI_SKIP_VERSION_CHECK=1). gentle-shell update explains that Pi ships pinned and runs gentle-shell upgrade. gentle-shell upgrade installs the latest release beside the current one from its published lockfile, verifies it, switches current atomically and keeps two versions; --rollback switches back. A failure leaves current unchanged. Non-bundled installs are unchanged.

- Around line 1426-1439: Update the bundled update flow around
`handleBundledUpgrade` so `update --all` runs the extension update with the
newly selected runtime and environment. Re-exec the updated launcher for the
extension update, or perform that update before switching versions; do not
continue with the previously selected `runtime` and `bundledEnv`.
Review comments at @scripts/bundled-install.mjs:
- Around line 774-776: Update the post-activation flow around activateVersion,
ensureLauncher, and pruneVersions so failures after switching current either
restore the previous current target before propagating the error to
handleBundledUpgrade, or report the upgrade as partially successful with a
--rollback hint.

…ndled mode Pi's bash tool copies process.env, so the bundled environment reached every command the agent ran in the user's projects. Pi and subagents now get the user's environment plus only Gentle Shell's variables; Pi installs packages with our npm through its npmCommand setting, written only into homes Gentle Shell owns. Also: update pi/self --extensions follow Pi's "all" parsing, update --all still updates extensions when the upgrade is unavailable, the pre-activation check runs the candidate in bundled mode, a launcher failure after activation switches current back, and rollback restores the target version's own runtime and launcher.

Make rollback independent of history writes.
activateVersion updates layout.current before it writes layout.history. Therefore, a history-write failure during rollback leaves current restored to the previous version. It does not leave current on the new version.
However, a failure while replacing layout.current during rollback can leave current on the new version. activateWithLauncher then propagates the rollback error without another recovery attempt. The proposed nested try/catch only reports both errors; it does not restore the documented guarantee.
Restore the current pointer with a pointer-only rollback operation, and make activateVersion roll the pointer back if its history write fails. If pointer restoration also fails, report both errors and state that current may still reference the new version.

… place Pi derives the package manager from the basenames in npmCommand, so [node, npm-cli.js, ...] read as "node" and git extensions lost --omit=dev --legacy-peer-deps. npmCommand now runs an extensionless CommonJS shim named npm inside the bundled runtime (with a commonjs package.json beside it), written by ensureRuntime and the launcher only when its content differs. The --prefix flag is dropped: on the command line it also set npm's local prefix, so a git extension's dependency install ran in the prefix instead of its clone. Settings holding our previous value are migrated, only that key.

Make the Pi package-manager test conditional on the dev dependency.
The test imports Pi's dist/core/package-manager.js from ../node_modules/@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent. The manifest declares this devDependency as >=1.0.0. Pi's internal path and the getPackageManagerName and getGitDependencyInstallArgs methods can change in later versions. The test would then fail on an unrelated Pi bump. Pin the version, or skip the test when the import fails.

On Windows the rename that publishes a verified runtime can lose a race with the node.exe just run from the staging folder or a real-time scanner still holding it (EPERM on the CI runner). Like the gentle-ai bundle publication, only EPERM, EBUSY and EACCES are retried, only on Windows, after 200, 400, 800 and 1600 ms; a lock that never clears surfaces the original error.
