TSC-first build and one compiler ownership
TSC 优先构建与编译器单一归属
The current TypeScript build and typecheck setup had these issues: - `build` used `tsc` to transform `.ts` to `.d.ts` files for packages under `packages/<group>/<pkg>` and `vendor/*`, and then used `tsdown` to transform `.ts` to bundled `.js` files. This made two tools do TypeScript transform. - `typecheck` tended to validate packages, vendor source, examples, tests, and scripts through one root typecheck config. Bui

Problem
The current TypeScript build and typecheck setup had these issues:
buildusedtscto transform.tsto.d.tsfiles for packages underpackages/<group>/<pkg>andvendor/*, and then usedtsdownto transform.tsto bundled.jsfiles. This made two tools do TypeScript transform.typechecktended to validate packages, vendor source, examples, tests, and scripts through one root typecheck config.
Build and typecheck use matching tsconfig boundaries and TypeScript resolution/transform behavior. Build generates .js, .d.ts, .js.map, and .d.ts.map through one compiler and config, so publish output and type validation stay consistent.
Concrete constraints:
tsdownusesoxcto transform TypeScript, which is not the same behavior astsc.- Bundled
.d.tsemitted bytsdownconflicts with Cordis' internal relative module augmentation shape. - The tsc output is affected by
allowImportingTsExtensions: generated.jsfiles must not import.tsfiles, and generated.d.tsfiles must keep explicit relative specifiers that NodeNext/Node16 accepts. Therefore, in-package relative imports use explicit.tsspecifiers in TypeScript source andrewriteRelativeImportExtensionsrewrites those specifiers to.jsin emitted JS. - Bundled
.jsemitted bytsdownis not the same behavior as per-file.jsemitted bytsc -b, such as decorator transform behavior.
- Bundled
vendor/*/src, examples, tests, and scripts cannot all be plain-included in one root strict program.- Directly typechecking
vendor/*/srcunder the root strict config triggers many type errors outside this project's ownership. - Package dependencies under
packages/*/*onvendorare resolved to thevendor/*/libfor different tsconfig strictness.
- Directly typechecking
Decision
In-package relative imports use explicit .ts specifiers.
pnpm run build orders Host lib, Client lib, and Web; each lib phase keeps tsc emission before tsdown bundling:
- Host tsc runs
tsc -bagainsttsconfig.host.json, emitting per-module.js,.d.ts,.js.map, and.d.ts.mapintolib/typesfor each package in the Host graph; Host tsdown then reads that JavaScript, produces published entries, and runs Host Typert. - Client tsc runs
tsc -bagainsttsconfig.client.jsonafter Host Typert has generated the Remote Client declarations; Client tsdown then reads the JavaScript emitted by the Client graph and produces the Client packages' Node loader entries and browser bundles. - The Web build starts only after both lib phases complete.
tsdown is no longer the owner of TypeScript compilation or declaration output.
pnpm run typecheck first runs the Host lib phase to generate the Remote declarations required by Client typechecking, then runs tsc -b against tsconfig.client.json. The two aggregates themselves check their respective examples, tests, and scripts with noEmit; referenced package/vendor projects retain the same emit behavior as the build.
Composite projects keep their incremental build information inside their project-local lib/ output. pnpm run clean derives live output directories from the root TypeScript project-reference graph, removes legacy root build information, and removes deleted packages/*/* directories that contain only known generated residue. Before removing an existing target, it resolves the target's parent and refuses it if that resolved parent is outside the repository, so a symlinked project reference cannot redirect cleanup outside the checkout. It preserves node_modules for every package that still has a package.json, and refuses to remove a manifest-less directory containing unknown files. Build does not invoke clean automatically, so ordinary builds retain incremental state.
The command orchestration shape is:
pnpm run build:
tsc -b tsconfig.host.json
tsdown --env.DSH_BUILD_FACE host
tsc -b tsconfig.client.json
tsdown --env.DSH_BUILD_FACE client
pnpm run build:web
pnpm run verify-node-next-types:
tsx scripts/verify-node-next-types.ts
pnpm run typecheck:
pnpm run build:lib:host
tsc -b tsconfig.client.json
pnpm run clean:
tsx scripts/clean.ts
The source-mode demos run through their declared TypeScript launchers and the root paths map. The dsh TUI chain uses Node's native transform plus its app-owned paths loader, the Web demo builds its required artifacts before entering that same CLI source chain, and the other source demos continue to use tsx.
Alternatives considered
- Keep
tsdown/oxc as the TypeScript transformer — oxc's transform is nottscbehavior (decorator transform differs, bundled JS differs from per-file emit), and its bundled.d.tsconflicts with Cordis' internal relative module augmentation shape. - One root strict program over packages, vendor, examples, tests, and scripts — vendor source triggers type errors outside this project's ownership under the root strict flags; project references with per-project strictness are the boundary that works.
- Clean before every build — this would discard the incremental state owned by
tscand the bundler even when the workspace layout is unchanged. - Remove every package-level
node_modules— valid package dependency links do not cause the workspace-discovery failure, and deleting them would turn build cleanup into dependency reinstallation.
Consequences
Build responsibilities are clearer:
- Each ordinary module under
packages/<group>/<pkg>andvendor/*has one local tsconfig for build, typecheck, and tools that run source directly, such as thedshsource loader,tsx, andvitest.api/remotesis the sole exception: generated-contract ordering requires one solution and two mutually exclusive emitting projects. - The
buildcommand runs the Host and Client Project Reference graphs in order. In each phase,tsc -bowns the publishable per-module.jsand.d.tsoutput, while the bundler owns only the published runtime bundles.lib/types/*.d.tsis the publish declaration output;.d.ts.mapremains only as a local compilation artifact.lib/types/*.d.tsuses explicit.tsrelative specifiers, which TypeScript's NodeNext/Node16 resolver maps to sibling.d.tsfiles.lib/types/*.jsis normally only a bundler input. It is published only when an explicit runtime export points into the emitted tree.lib/index.*is the publish runtime output and is generated by the bundler, currentlytsdown.
pnpm run verify-node-next-typesscans built declarations for relative specifiers without file extensions, then typechecks a temporary external ESM consumer withmoduleResolution: "NodeNext"against the builttypes/exportssurface, so declaration specifier regressions fail before publish.- The
typecheckcommand usestsconfig.json. Examples, tests, and scripts are checked by the root no-emit project, while packages and vendor modules keep the same emit behavior asbuild. Package and vendor source stays behind project-reference boundaries. - After changing branches or updating a checkout that deleted packages, contributors can run
pnpm run cleanto remove stale package directories before rebuilding. Unknown files in a manifest-less package directory require manual classification instead of being deleted.
The Cordis vendor copy now has one more type-structure divergence from upstream. During upstream sync, that divergence must be reapplied or explicitly retired.

问题
此前的 TypeScript 构建与类型检查配置存在以下问题:
build使用tsc将packages/<group>/<pkg>和vendor/*下的.ts转换为.d.ts文件,然后使用tsdown将.ts转换为打包后的.js文件。这导致两个工具各自执行 TypeScript 转换。typecheck倾向于通过一个根目录的类型检查配置来校验包、vendor 源码、示例、测试和脚本。
构建与类型检查使用一致的 tsconfig 边界和 TypeScript 解析/转换行为。构建通过单一编译器和配置生成 .js、.d.ts、.js.map 和 .d.ts.map,使发布产物与类型校验保持一致。
具体约束:
tsdown使用oxc进行 TypeScript 转换,其行为与tsc不同。tsdown输出的打包.d.ts与 Cordis 内部的相对模块增强(module augmentation)结构冲突。- tsc 的输出受
allowImportingTsExtensions影响:生成的.js文件不得导入.ts文件,且生成的.d.ts文件必须保留 NodeNext/Node16 接受的显式相对说明符。为此,包内相对导入在 TypeScript 源码中使用显式.ts说明符,由rewriteRelativeImportExtensions在输出的 JS 中将其重写为.js。 tsdown输出的打包.js与tsc -b逐文件输出的.js行为不同,例如装饰器转换行为。
vendor/*/src、示例、测试和脚本无法全部以 plain-include 方式纳入一个根目录的严格程序。- 在根目录严格配置下直接对
vendor/*/src做类型检查,会触发大量不属于本项目所有权范围的类型错误。 packages/*/*对vendor的包依赖解析到vendor/*/lib,以适应不同的 tsconfig 严格度。
- 在根目录严格配置下直接对
决策
包内相对导入使用显式 .ts 说明符。
pnpm run build 依次执行 Host lib、Client lib 和 Web;每个 lib 阶段都保持 tsc 先发射、tsdown 后打包:
- Host tsc 对
tsconfig.host.json执行tsc -b,把逐模块.js、.d.ts、.js.map与.d.ts.map输出到 Host 图各包的lib/types;Host tsdown 随后读取这些 JS,生成发布入口并运行 Host Typert。 - Client tsc 在 Host Typert 已生成 Remote Client 声明后对
tsconfig.client.json执行tsc -b;Client tsdown 再读取 Client 图发射的 JS,生成 Client 包的 Node loader 入口与 browser bundle。 - Web build 只在两个 lib 阶段完成后启动。
tsdown 不再负责 TypeScript 编译或声明文件输出。
pnpm run typecheck 先执行 Host lib 阶段,以生成 Client 类型检查所需的 Remote 声明,再对 tsconfig.client.json 执行 tsc -b。两个 aggregate 本身以 noEmit 方式检查各自的示例、测试与脚本;被引用的包项目和 vendor 项目保持与构建相同的发射行为。
复合项目将增量构建信息保存在各项目本地的 lib/ 输出中。pnpm run clean 会根据根 TypeScript project-reference 图确定当前有效的输出目录,删除遗留的根目录构建信息,并删除已删除包留下且仅包含已知生成残留的 packages/*/* 目录。在删除现有目标前,该命令会解析目标父目录的真实路径;如果解析后的父目录位于仓库之外,则拒绝删除,防止使用符号链接的 project reference 将清理操作重定向到工作副本之外。对于仍有 package.json 的每个包,该命令都会保留 node_modules;如果不含 package.json 的目录中存在未知文件,则拒绝删除。构建不会自动调用 clean,因此常规构建会保留增量状态。
命令编排结构如下:
pnpm run build:
tsc -b tsconfig.host.json
tsdown --env.DSH_BUILD_FACE host
tsc -b tsconfig.client.json
tsdown --env.DSH_BUILD_FACE client
pnpm run build:web
pnpm run verify-node-next-types:
tsx scripts/verify-node-next-types.ts
pnpm run typecheck:
pnpm run build:lib:host
tsc -b tsconfig.client.json
pnpm run clean:
tsx scripts/clean.ts
源码模式 demo 通过各自声明的 TypeScript 启动器和根路径映射运行。dsh TUI 链使用 Node 原生转换及应用自有的路径 loader,Web demo 在进入同一条 CLI 源码链路前先构建所需产物,其他源码 demo 继续使用 tsx。
曾考虑的替代方案
- 继续使用
tsdown/oxc 作为 TypeScript 转换器:oxc 的转换行为与tsc不同(装饰器转换有差异、打包 JS 与逐文件输出不同),且其打包.d.ts与 Cordis 内部的相对模块增强结构冲突。 - 用一个根目录严格程序覆盖包、vendor、示例、测试和脚本:vendor 源码在根目录严格标志下会触发不属于本项目所有权范围的类型错误;带有逐项目严格度的 project references 才是可行的边界。
- 每次构建前都执行清理:即使工作区布局没有变化,这也会丢弃
tsc和打包器拥有的增量状态。 - 删除所有包级
node_modules:有效的包依赖链接不会导致工作区发现失败,而删除这些链接会使构建清理变成重新安装依赖。
后果
构建职责更加清晰:
packages/<group>/<pkg>和vendor/*下的每个普通模块有一份本地 tsconfig,同时服务于构建、类型检查和直接运行源码的工具(如dsh源码 loader、tsx和vitest)。api/remotes因生成约定顺序使用一个 solution 和两个互斥的 emitting project,是唯一例外。build命令依次运行 Host 和 Client 的 Project Reference 图。每个阶段都由tsc -b负责可发布的逐模块.js和.d.ts输出,打包器仅负责发布 runtime bundle。lib/types/*.d.ts是发布用的声明输出;.d.ts.map只作为本地编译产物保留。lib/types/*.d.ts使用显式.ts相对说明符,TypeScript 的 NodeNext/Node16 解析器会将其映射到同级的.d.ts文件。lib/types/*.js通常仅作为打包器输入。只有显式运行时 export 指向该输出树时,才会发布这些文件。lib/index.*是发布用的运行时输出,由打包器(当前为tsdown)生成。
pnpm run verify-node-next-types扫描构建出的声明文件,检查是否存在缺少文件扩展名的相对说明符,然后以moduleResolution: "NodeNext"对构建出的types/exports接口进行临时外部 ESM 消费方的类型检查,确保声明说明符的回归在发布前被捕获。typecheck命令使用tsconfig.json。示例、测试和脚本由根 no-emit 项目检查,包和 vendor 模块保持与build相同的输出行为。包和 vendor 源码始终处于 project-reference 边界之后。- 切换分支或更新工作副本后,如果其中删除了包,贡献者可在重新构建前运行
pnpm run clean,删除陈旧的包目录。不含package.json的包目录如果存在未知文件,必须手动判定其类别,不能直接删除。
Cordis 的 vendor 副本现在与上游多了一处类型结构差异。在上游同步时,该差异必须被重新应用或明确废弃。
