 Conventional frontend engineering digests all dependencies at build time: one bundle, externals resolved by the bundler, nothing left to manage at runtime. Runtime module management on top of that is the unusual requirement here. The client therefore splits into two layers: the upper layer is cordis plugin loading through the same vendored Loader, and the lower layer is module-granular dependency management — `dsh-client-modules`.
 
-The lower layer supplies four capabilities: externals (the platform list), remote arrival (bundle fetch plus lazy factory registration), versioning (content-hash revs), and hot update (invalidate/prefetch).

+Plugin bundles are built independently outside Vite's module graph. Feeding response text into an inline script leaves the browser with a dynamic source execution: no standard source-map chain connects the network resource, generated bundle, and TypeScript/TSX source, so performance profiles and stacks stop at generated `client.js`; the module system must also buffer the complete source and split one arrival responsibility across fetch and execute transport seams.
 
 On top of that, client and host plugins register and load consistently: a package declares `dshClient` once, the host scans the declaration into the boot graph, and the same Loader semantics govern entries on both sides.

 The browser mirrors the host's division of labor. `dsh-client-modules` (`ClientModuleSystem`) takes the module-system seat that Node's internal ESM loader holds host-side; the same vendored `@cordisjs/plugin-loader` keeps the governance seat on both sides. The line between them in one sentence: **the module system owns module identity and bytes — how code arrives, registers, and becomes an export surface; the Loader owns plugin lifecycle — when a plugin mounts, what it waits for, and how it is torn down.**
 
-`ClientModuleSystem` is a lazy CJS table. Executing a bundle only **registers** its factory — the bundle calls `window.__ModuleLoader__.load({ id, factory })` and nothing else happens. Every module body side effect, CSS injection included, lives inside the factory closure and runs at materialization: the first `require`/import of that id, memoized after that. A factory that requires a registered-but-unmaterialized sibling materializes it recursively, so no sort order exists anywhere. When asked to import an id, the table resolves through a fixed branch order: seed word → memoized record → static registration (shell-own modules, e.g. app-shell) → registered factory → graph-row fetch + execute → loud throw. That final throw is the runtime mirror of the build-time purity gate. The system also keeps per-module bookkeeping — owned `<style data-plugin>` tag ids, observed require edges — and exposes the two verbs HMR needs: `prefetch(id)` (fetch + execute, registration only; concurrent calls share one in-flight task) and `invalidate(id)` (drop factory, record, and consumed text so the next arrival refetches).

 The vendored Loader consumes the module system through its `internal` seam — the only call site is `tree.import` — and owns everything entry-shaped: entry creation, fiber activation through cordis service waiting (PENDING until injected services exist, cascading when a service is provided), update/refresh, teardown. The governance code is byte-identical to the host side, per vendor policy. Browserization is compile-time mapping in the shell's vite config: a `node:module` stub alias plus `process.*` defines make `ModuleLoader.fromInternal()` return undefined — exactly the empty slot the shell fills. The module system mounts as `ctx.modules`.
 
+### External-script arrival and source maps
+
+Each graph row's `url` goes to a same-origin external classic `<script src>` with `async` set. The browser owns the network request and script execution; the node is removed as soon as `load` or `error` settles so HMR cannot accumulate dead nodes. Successful settlement also requires the graph row's factory id to exist in the module table, or arrival fails; registration still does not run the factory, so the side-effect boundary remains first materialization.
+
+The shared tsdown preset emits `client.js.map` for every plugin and rewrites first-party source paths into the browser-resolvable repository shape `/packages/<group>/<package>/src/...`. Other workspace sources inlined into a bundle likewise resolve to their `packages/` owner, while dependency paths remain unchanged; `sourcesContent` carries the source, so the host only serves the map at `/plugins/<id>/client.js.map` and exposes no source route. The Vite shell also emits source maps, letting both shell code and out-of-graph plugins map stacks and performance profiles back to TypeScript/TSX.
+
+`rev` remains the script URL's query parameter and content-consistency anchor, and the bundle and map are both served with `no-cache`. An external script's `error` event exposes neither response status nor body, so failure diagnostics name only the URL; the same-origin host and build-stamped handoff id form the identity boundary, while the post-`load` factory-presence check rejects an artifact that did not register the expected id.

 What happens between `dsh web` starting and the UI appearing? Three stages: the host composes and serves a graph, the shell prefetches, then cordis orchestrates.

 1. The composing app (`apps/cli`) ships the roster as ordinary rows in its `cordis.yml` config tree — client plugin packages are entry rows like every host plugin, and `--dev` appends the `client-hmr` row in code (`AppCLIEntry`) before the host activation audit so the same check covers it. A roster row that fails to import is caught by `assertEntriesLoaded`; a row whose fiber rejects is reported with its original stack by `assertEntriesActivated` ([host boot decision](2026-07-24-web-config-tree-boot-and-transport-layering.md)).
 2. The `dsh-client-modules` node half (the package is dual-face: its browser half is the module table) scans loader entries' package.json `dshClient` declarations and composes `window.__DSH_BOOT__`: `{ rev, entries: [{ id, url, rev, inject?, immediately? }] }`. The `inject` edges and the `immediately` mark come from manifests, never hand-copied. It refuses declared plugins without built `./client` bundles and groups their package/path rows under one required source-build instruction; malformed declaration fields also fail activation, and the host audit reports either error from the FAILED fiber.
-3. Scanning is incremental per package — there is no full-rescan code path. Each cordis `internal/plugin` emission marks the fiber's entry name dirty (entry-less fibers drop O(1)); a microtask flush reconciles each dirty name against live loader entries, with package metadata (including the negative "not a client package" verdict) cached per name forever and bundle re-hashing reachable only through `rebuilt(id)`. The activation pass seeds the same dirty set from current entries and flushes synchronously, so first scan and steady state share one implementation. Each bundle's content hash is its `rev` (cache busting + HMR diff anchor), the row set hashes into `graph.rev`, and every row is fetch-served: `/plugins/<id>/client.js?rev=…`. The graph types are single-sourced in the modules package's `./impl` export — the webserver knows nothing about the graph (it is a plain route-registration plugin; modules registers the bundle route and taps the index render itself).

 Why is the roster yml rows and not a scan? Because which plugins compose into a deployment is a composition decision, not a package property — a dshClient package existing in the repo does not mean this deployment mounts it, so discovery-by-scan cannot make that call; the node half scans only what the tree actually mounted.
 
-**Phase one — the module face.** The shell builds the module system over the graph, then prefetches every `immediately` row in parallel. Prefetch is fetch + execute, which registers factories only. A single row's prefetch failure is swallowed here: phase two's import retries the fetch and owns the loud failure, so one bad row cannot mask the others. `immediately` is a prefetch mark — not a barrier, not an identity. The package declares it, the registry carries it into the row. The infrastructure plugins (connection, runtime, ui-theme, i18n, plus hmr) declare it; UI plugins simply arrive on demand.

 Roster endgame (landed 2026-07-25 with the config-tree boot move): the roster lives in `apps/cli/config/web.cordis.yml`, `mountWebPlugins` and the `CLIENT_PACKAGES` constant are gone, and recomposing a deployment means swapping the yml/overlay. The graph composer moved from a webserver-side registry into the `dsh-client-modules` node half (the package upgraded to dual-face per this note's promotion rule — its consumer now reaches it through cordis DI), and the transport split landed alongside: the webserver became a plain route-registration plugin, `/api/*` binding moved to the connection node half over the upgraded `api-gateway` plugin (`dsh-host-apiproxy` providing `ctx.apiProxy`), and the dev bundle watch + SSE channel moved to the hmr node half.
