Decision

The Platform owns the desired deployment definition. A successful, component-authenticated hello from the reserved dedicated Run endpoint is the trigger to enqueue the first guided installation. The enqueue uses a stable idempotency key derived from the server and deployment revision, so reconnects cannot duplicate work.

The automatic path is restricted to target-bound guided-install servers in draft. Existing-server and custom-command modes remain explicit because a missing directory can be intentional or user-owned. A future reconcile capability may safely repair guided deployments after an attested drift check; it must not be simulated by blindly reinstalling on every hello.

Flow

  1. Create stores a target-bound draft and protected guided definition.
  2. The user generates, downloads, and starts the dedicated Run.
  3. Platform validates and persists the component hello/session.
  4. Platform atomically advances the draft to installing and creates one process.install job.
  5. Run claims the job through the existing job channel.

Boundaries

  • No host path, command, credential, or socket is returned to Platform Web or plugins.
  • A running server is never overwritten by this registration trigger.
  • Failed jobs use the existing bounded retry policy; reconnects do not create unbounded retries.
  • The former deploy endpoint may remain for compatibility, but is not part of the normal user journey.
