Extract subprocess execution and process contracts into @orca/process-host with explicit public entry points, independent checks, and one Node 18 compatible CommonJS runtime. Migrate application consumers and integrate package builds, dependency selection, import enforcement, and runtime resource staging.
Preserve daemon startup ownership and profile isolation, and qualify development rebuild recovery and concurrent output publication. Remove unnecessary aliases, test forwarding exports, and a duplicate output scan.
Validation: full typechecks, changed-code quality, package and artifact checks, native Windows builds/types plus 306 runtime tests, and independent native reviews.
Matched full E2E controls on original main and unchanged reviewed head both pass all 17 applicable tests (nine skips). Earlier intermittent E2E failures are documented in the PR; no assertions were weakened. The final combined-tree audit preserves both branches with no import-boundary violations.
* perf(ci): share release JavaScript across packaging hosts
* fix(ci): verify the projected web entry in release archives
* fix(ci): use the Windows system archive tool for release bundles
* test(ci): retain stylesheet evidence in release build comparisons
* test(ci): verify release parity across native color rounding
* test(ci): normalize manifest asset references without changing import order
* test(ci): compare portable outputs across Windows text and color formatting
* test(ci): preserve module identity across dependent asset hashes
* fix(ci): keep SVG build inputs identical across release hosts
* fix(ci): stabilize compiler inputs and projected web bindings
* fix(ci): retain vendor minification in projected web output
* test(ci): normalize platform-specific pnpm manifest source paths
* fix(packaging): exclude shared build staging from application files
* test: align thinking-state fixtures with the current source shape
* test(mobile): reuse message fixtures within the line limit
Bundle a pinned, verified Bun runtime for headless Orca so existing Node launch commands can hand off before opening a profile. Keep desktop execution on Electron.
Add the Bun SQLite adapter and terminal backend, bounded shutdown, process inspection and cross-platform artifact qualification. Keep future managed SSH deployment separate from current production launch paths.
