fix(build): honour --json on the embedded preset, with honest counts - #3794
Conversation
`veryfront build --preset embedded --json` printed ` ✓ Built embedded preset` on stdout and emitted no result line, exiting 0. A CI script piping it to `jq` got prose and nothing parseable. `handleEmbeddedBuild` never called `streamJsonLine`, and `logSuccess` writes to stdout unconditionally — `cli/utils/index.ts` gates only `showHeader` and `cliLogger.debug` on `isJsonMode()`. The embedded path now emits the same NDJSON the default path does: `step config started/completed`, `step build started/completed` with `duration_ms`, then one `type: "result"` line whose `data` carries the same seven keys as `buildCommand` in command.ts — pages, chunks, assets, totalSize, duration_ms, outputDir, dryRun. Answering one command with two different JSON shapes would be its own bug. The prose is emitted only when JSON mode is off, so nothing else reaches stdout. `chunks` is 1 because the preset emits a single esbuild bundle and has no splitting stage — the reason `--split` is rejected for it. `dryRun` is false because `--dry-run` is rejected too. `totalSize` sums the artifacts the manifest declares, skipping any the preset only warned about. The error path is deliberately unchanged: a failure still reaches the router, which already emits a JSON error envelope. That envelope differs from the default path's `type: "result", success: false` line, but that divergence predates this change, is not what #3787 asks for, and affects every command the router handles — it should be fixed uniformly, not here. The test is an integration test that spawns the real CLI. In-process is not an option: `buildEmbeddedPreset` calls `esbuild.stop()` when it finishes and the bundler cannot be restarted in the same process, so only one embedded build per process can succeed and embedded-preset-flags.test.ts already spends it. A child process is also the only way to observe everything that reaches stdout, which is exactly what `--json` promises. The existing `accepts --preset embedded --json` case still asserts the flag is not rejected; this adds the honouring behaviour on top of it.
Closes #3787. `veryfront build --preset embedded --json` printed prose and emitted no result line. It now emits the same NDJSON step/result sequence as the default path and nothing else on stdout. Three review findings on the first pass, all fixed: **`pages` overcounted by one.** `buildEmbeddedPreset` unshifts a synthetic `/` -> `embedded/app.js` shell route on top of the discovered ones, so counting every `type: "page"` reports one more page than the project has. Measured on a two-page fixture, the manifest routes are the shell, `/about` and `/` — the naive count says 3. The shell is now excluded by file. **`chunks` was hardcoded to 1.** The default path reports 0 for a build with no splitting stage, and the embedded preset has none — which is why `--split` is rejected for it. Answering the same field differently from the command this is supposed to match is the bug, not the number. **The error path left stdout hybrid.** A failing `--json` build had already written `step` lines and then got the router's differently-shaped envelope appended, which no consumer can parse. The build is now wrapped so the JSON error result closes the stream, matching what the default path does, and the error is rethrown so the exit code is unchanged. The test also moved from `cli/commands/build/*.integration.test.ts` to `tests/integration/build/`. It was selected by no CI job: `test:unit` excludes `*.integration.test.ts*` and `test:integration` only sweeps `tests/`. Assertions are exact rather than `>= 1`. A `>= 1` page assertion passes just as happily on the naive count that reports 2 for a one-page project, so it could not have caught the overcount it was meant to cover. Red, handler reverted, test kept: AssertionError: --json must put nothing but NDJSON on stdout: [" ✓ Built embedded preset"] Green: 1 passed, and the cli/commands/build suite is unchanged.

When buildEmbeddedPreset throws, this catch writes a terminal type: "result" event and then rethrows. The router's JSON error handler in cli/router.ts subsequently writes a second, pretty-printed error envelope, so stdout mixes two result formats and the envelope's individual lines are not valid NDJSON. Terminate with the nonzero exit path after streaming the result, as the default build path does, instead of allowing the router to print again.

When runtime initialization, configuration loading, or output resolution fails, this config: started event has already reached stdout, but those operations at lines 203-212 are outside the new catch. The router then appends its multi-line error envelope, leaving consumers with a partial NDJSON stream followed by a different JSON format. Include the config phase in the streaming error handling, or defer the first event until configuration succeeds.

Both fixed in 5e2b7fc — and both were right. My first pass made the error path better without making it correct.
P1. Streaming the result then rethrowing left the router free to append its own envelope, so stdout still carried two formats and the second was not NDJSON. Now matches the default path: stream the result, then exit(1), no rethrow.
P2. The config phase ran outside that catch but after step: config started had already reached stdout, which reproduces the same hybrid. The whole build is now inside the JSON-mode wrapper, so any failure past the first step line terminates the same way.
Split into handleEmbeddedBuild (terminator) and runEmbeddedBuild (work), leaving the non-JSON path on the router's error handling untouched.
The new test drives a real failure — an .mdx with an unclosed JSX expression, which fails in the bundler after config is reported, exactly where the second envelope used to appear. It asserts stdout is entirely NDJSON, that there is exactly one result line, and that it carries success: false. Verified red against the previous commit.

Two review findings, both correct — my first pass at the error path made it better without making it right. P1: streaming the error result and then rethrowing left the router free to write its own error envelope afterwards. That envelope is a different, multi-line shape, so stdout still carried two result formats and the second was not NDJSON at all. The default path solves this by streaming its `result` and calling `exit(1)` rather than rethrowing; this now does the same. P2: the config phase — `runtime.get`, `getConfig`, `resolveBuildOutputDir` — ran outside that catch, but *after* `step: config started` had already reached stdout. A failure there produced exactly the hybrid the P1 describes. The whole build is now inside the JSON-mode wrapper, so any failure past the first `step` line is terminated the same way. Split into `handleEmbeddedBuild` (terminator) and `runEmbeddedBuild` (work), so the non-JSON path is untouched and keeps the router's error handling. New test drives a real failure: an `.mdx` with an unclosed JSX expression, which fails in the bundler after `config` is reported — precisely when the second envelope used to appear. It asserts stdout is entirely NDJSON, that there is exactly one `result` line, and that it carries `success: false`. Red against the previous commit, green now. cli/commands/build suite unchanged.

…ates CI caught a genuine cross-fix interaction. #3794 excluded the shell route by file when counting pages, because the preset published `/` twice — once as the shell entry and once as a duplicate dotfile artifact for the root page. This branch removes that duplicate, so the exclusion now UNDERCOUNTS: a one-page project reported 0 and #3794's own test failed. Every route path is published exactly once here, so a plain count is correct. The shell serves `/` whether or not the project has a root page, so it is a page either way. tests/integration/build: 9 passed (154 steps), 0 failed.
