Docs — ProjectFiles contract + fetch-then-build materialization

Document the ProjectFiles contract and the fetch-then-build materialization pattern for remote hosts, so plugin and adapter authors know the seam and how a hosted renderer feeds it.

    plan: accept SPEC-103 + SPEC-113, break into v0.27.0 work items

Scope

  • Contract — the ProjectFiles interface (read/list/exists over normalized POSIX keys, containment as contract), the stock providers, and when a consumer should read through it.
  • Materialization — the fetch-then-build recipe (tarball-at-SHA → Map → ContentTree by key-prefix → memoryProjectFiles + loadContentFromTree), the one-map/tree-derived-from-it point, and the warm-instance / incremental-fetch tradeoff (atomic snapshot vs single-key patch).
  • Cross-link ADR-025 for the incremental-rebuild direction the recordable wrapper enables.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Plugin-authoring / adapter docs describe the ProjectFiles contract and the fetch-then-build materialization pattern for remote hosts.
  • The warm-instance / incremental-fetch tradeoff and the "one map, tree derived from it" model are documented.

Dependencies

  • WORK-484 — the contract is stable once the consumers + loadContentFromTree plumb land.

Completed: 2026-06-30

Branch: claude/milestone-v0-27-0-yqiu8v

What was done

  • New page site/content/extend/plugin-authoring/hosted-builds.md — "Hosted & In-Memory Builds":
    • The ProjectFiles contract: the interface, keys-not-paths + containment-as-contract, readdir-shaped list, why it's synchronous (the boundary sits in front of the pipeline), the three stock providers (fsProjectFiles / memoryProjectFiles / recordingProjectFiles), and when a consumer (preprocess ctx.sandbox, configure projectFiles) should read through it.
    • The fetch-then-build materialization recipe (tarball-at-SHA → Map → ContentTree.fromContentMap by key-prefix → memoryProjectFiles + loadContentFromTree), with a worked code example.
    • The "one map, tree derived from it" model and the warm-instance / incremental-fetch tradeoff (atomic snapshot vs single-key patch).
    • A "towards incremental rebuild" section cross-linking ADR-025 (the recordable-wrapper groundwork), plus a plugin-author checklist.
  • Registered the page in the Extend nav (extend/_layout.md) and linked it from extend/index.md.

Notes

  • ADR cross-links use the {% ref "ADR-025" /%} rune, matching the existing convention ({% ref "ADR-018" /%} in rune-authoring/patterns); the main docs site doesn't register plan entities, so these render as tolerated unresolved xrefs exactly like the existing ones.
  • Verified with a full vite build of the site (exit 0) — the page parses and renders; the only warnings are the same pre-existing unresolved-xref / duplicate-id ones unrelated to this change.
