🟠 High cloud/pinnedRuntime.ts:287
Existing npm-layout services cannot self-update to stable/nightly releases: the handoff still uses the old launcher, which looks for node_modules/t3/dist/bin.mjs, but this code stages the replacement as an archive containing <version>/t3, so the launcher rejects it as missing or incomplete. Preserve the migration-compatible npm layout/launcher path, or replace the old launcher and service unit before requesting the handoff.

The server release build now fails because build:bundle still packs src/service-launcher.ts, which no longer exists, and scripts/cli.ts publish still requires dist/service-launcher.mjs; stable/nightly npm releases are therefore blocked. Restore the src/service-launcher.ts! entry or remove the obsolete pack command and publish asset assertion.

ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR broadly changes how SSH environments, background services, and self-updates obtain and launch runtimes, replacing existing npm-based paths with verified release archives. The migration and platform compatibility implications, including existing service installations and unavailable archive targets, require focused human review. Not approved because:

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Return SshMissingRunnerError through the Effect error channel.
resolveCliRunner is optional in both manager layers, so ensureEnvironment can pass undefined to launchOrReuseRemoteServer. buildRemoteLaunchScript(undefined) then throws SshMissingRunnerError. This error is absent from SshEnvironmentEffectError and the launch function’s declared error type, so the synchronous throw bypasses the declared failure channel and becomes a defect.
Convert this case to Effect.fail and add SshMissingRunnerError to the relevant error types. The current desktop bootstrap supplies a resolver, but the exported default layers still permit this configuration.

Handle a 404 for the archive download.
The release workflow publishes a Windows CLI archive only for win32-x64, but still publishes SHA256SUMS. scripts/install.ps1 maps ARM64 to arm64, then requests the missing win32-arm64 archive. This request is outside the existing 404 handler, so the installer rethrows the raw Invoke-WebRequest error.
Wrap the archive download in the same 404 handling.

Every managed runtime is now the self-contained release archive: the boot service, server self-update, t3 update, and the desktop's SSH environments all download t3-<version>-<platform>-<arch> from the release and verify it against SHA256SUMS. The npm layout is gone from the pinned runtime, the service launcher, and the SSH runner script, along with the version-string switch that picked between the two and the standalone service-launcher.mjs entry the npm layout needed. The launcher lives inside the executable and the unit runs it directly. The npm package still exists for people who prefer npx t3 or npm install -g t3; the product itself never installs from npm. The SSH runner keeps its node-script mode for development, where a dev desktop points the remote at a source checkout. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…them into the site at build install.sh and install.ps1 are release tooling, not site content, so they move next to the other release scripts. The marketing build copies them into public/ before Astro runs; the copies are gitignored, so the served files can never drift from the source. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The build:bundle script and the publish asset check still named service-launcher.mjs after its source was removed, which failed the server build in CI.

The standaloneservice-launcher.mjsentry that the npm layout needed no longer exists; the launcher lives inside the executable.BootServicePlan.launcherPathis removed.t3 updateno longer refuses versions "published on npm only".packageSpec(npx) runner mode is deleted frompackages/ssh, along withresolveRemoteT3CliPackageSpecand the npx/npm-exec install block in the remote runner script.
