 Source containing `await` is checked for top-level await before native compilation, which can otherwise treat `await` as an identifier. Acorn parses an async wrapper, and acorn-walk traverses it using Node's REPL visitors, declaration hoisting and character-position edits. Computed class-method keys are traversed while method bodies remain separate evaluations. The transform boxes the final expression; the evaluator unwraps and awaits its value. Source that needs no lowering uses native compilation; submissions without `await` retain native syntax diagnostics. Dynamic `import()` expressions remain native and use the compiling Script's `importModuleDynamically` option. Both private process bundles include Acorn and acorn-walk; source execution imports the installed packages.
 
+### Runner import handling
+
+Runner code can pass a `ProgramImportHandler` to `runNodeMain()` or `runPersistentMain()`. The handler belongs to the child process and is independent of execution syntax; it is not a serialized host binding or a plugin configuration field. VM Script accepts synchronous or asynchronous decisions; AsyncFunction and Node REPL require synchronous decisions and reject a returned Promise. `node-script` and embedded launches enable `--experimental-vm-modules`; independently started runners need that flag to intercept VM Script imports. AsyncFunction and REPL interception need no VM startup flag.
+
+For each dynamic import in compiled program code, the handler receives the specifier, import attributes and the program's absolute compilation filename. Saved functions retain that filename even after cwd changes. The decisions are:
+
+- `{ type: 'default' }` uses Node's loader.
+- `{ type: 'redirect', specifier }` uses Node's loader with the replacement specifier and original attributes.
+- `{ type: 'module', exports }` exposes own enumerable string properties as module exports, including a property named `default`.
+
+Default and redirected imports resolve relative to the original program filename without reentering the handler; imports inside native dependencies keep their own loader. A thrown value rejects `import()` without fallback. VM Script also propagates async handler rejections and rejects source-phase imports before calling the handler. AsyncFunction and Node REPL retain Node's source-phase loading rules.
+
+Export values can be arbitrary runner-local objects: prototypes, private fields, closures, cycles and synchronous methods retain their normal behavior. One exports object identifies one module per evaluator; names and values are captured once, while referenced objects remain mutable. Returning a different exports object creates another module, and the handler is consulted on every import. Module evaluation failures remain cached for that exports object. A callable `then` export follows JavaScript's dynamic-import Promise assimilation in AsyncFunction and VM Script; Node REPL rejects the resulting non-module value, so use another export name there.
+
+AsyncFunction and Node REPL share synchronous `registerHooks` and a symbol-keyed global export bridge. A VM-compiled factory calls the native AsyncFunction constructor with Node's default loader, preserving strict function-body syntax and parameter bindings. Each evaluator and compilation filename has a distinct source URL so V8's constructor cache retains the correct import handler and referrer. REPL uses `AsyncLocalStorage` to distinguish evaluators sharing Node's cwd-based import URL. VM Script uses `importModuleDynamically` and `SyntheticModule`. Cleanup releases evaluator caches and removes hooks and bridges; Node retains natively loaded ESM namespaces and symbol registry keys until process exit. Imports started from a completed evaluation and async handler results arriving after completion reject; a saved function invoked by a later active evaluation can import normally.

 包含 `await` 的源码会在原生编译前检查顶层 await，否则原生编译可能将 `await` 当作标识符。Acorn 解析包住源码的异步函数，acorn-walk 沿用 Node REPL 的 visitor、声明提升和按字符位置修改源码的方式进行遍历。类方法的计算属性名参与遍历，方法体仍独立求值。转换包装末尾表达式，求值器解包并等待其值。无需转换的源码使用原生编译；不含 `await` 的提交保留原生语法诊断。动态 `import()` 表达式保持原生形式，使用编译该 Script 时的 `importModuleDynamically` 选项。两个私有进程 bundle 都包含 Acorn 和 acorn-walk；源码执行导入已安装的包。
 
+### Runner 导入处理
+
+Runner 代码可以向 `runNodeMain()` 或 `runPersistentMain()` 传入 `ProgramImportHandler`。handler 属于子进程，与执行语法无关；它不是序列化的 Host 绑定或插件配置字段。VM Script 接受同步或异步决策；AsyncFunction 和 Node REPL 要求同步决策，返回 Promise 时会被拒绝。`node-script` 和 embedded 启动方式启用 `--experimental-vm-modules`；独立启动的 runner 在拦截 VM Script 导入时需要该标志。AsyncFunction 和 REPL 导入拦截不需要 VM 启动标志。
+
+对于已编译程序代码中的每次动态导入，handler 接收模块标识符、导入属性和程序编译时的绝对文件名。即使 cwd 改变，保存的函数仍保留该文件名。可返回的决策包括：
+
+- `{ type: 'default' }` 使用 Node 的加载器。
+- `{ type: 'redirect', specifier }` 使用替换后的模块标识符和原始属性调用 Node 的加载器。
+- `{ type: 'module', exports }` 将自有、可枚举的字符串属性暴露为模块导出，包括名为 `default` 的属性。
+
+默认导入和重定向导入相对于原始程序文件名解析，不会再次进入 handler；原生依赖中的导入保留各自的加载器。抛出值会使 `import()` 拒绝，不会回退。VM Script 还会传播异步 handler 的拒绝，并在调用 handler 前拒绝 source 阶段的导入。AsyncFunction 和 Node REPL 保留 Node 的 source 阶段加载规则。
+
+导出值可以是 runner 内的任意对象：原型、私有字段、闭包、循环引用和同步方法都保持正常行为。一个 exports 对象在每个求值器中标识一个模块；名称和值只捕获一次，引用的对象仍可修改。返回不同的 exports 对象会创建另一个模块，每次导入都会调用 handler。模块求值失败也会针对该 exports 对象缓存。可调用的 `then` 导出在 AsyncFunction 和 VM Script 中遵循 JavaScript 动态导入的 Promise 同化规则；Node REPL 会拒绝由此产生的非模块值，因此在 REPL 中需使用其他导出名。
+
+AsyncFunction 和 Node REPL 共用同步 `registerHooks` 和以 symbol 为键的全局导出桥接对象。经 VM 编译的工厂使用 Node 默认加载器调用原生 AsyncFunction 构造器，保留严格模式函数体语法和参数绑定。每个求值器与编译文件名组合使用独立的 source URL，确保 V8 构造器缓存保留正确的 import handler 和 referrer。REPL 使用 `AsyncLocalStorage` 区分共享 Node 基于 cwd 生成的导入 URL 的求值器。VM Script 使用 `importModuleDynamically` 与 `SyntheticModule`。清理时释放求值器缓存，并移除 hook 和桥接对象；Node 会将原生加载的 ESM 命名空间和 symbol 注册表键保留到进程退出。从已完成求值中发起的导入，以及求值完成后才返回的异步 handler 结果都会被拒绝；保存的函数在后续活动求值中调用时可以正常导入。

+# PTC Script handlers receive ESM dependency imports
+
+English | [中文](guide.zh.md)
+
+## Change
+
+Custom runners passing a `ProgramImportHandler` to `runNodeMain()` or `runPersistentMain()` now receive static and dynamic imports from `.mjs` files and `.js` files in `type: module` packages. Previously, default and redirected imports delegated their entire dependency graph to Node. These ESM modules now execute in the Script context and use an evaluator-owned cache. Their requests identify the importing module's filename. Other formats retain native loading; omitting the handler retains native loading for all imports.
+
+## Migration
+
+1. Update custom runner handlers to accept dependency filenames as `request.referrer`, and return `{ type: 'default' }` for imports that need ordinary resolution. Static imports bind once; changing a handler result does not replace an existing binding.
+2. Check ESM dependencies that rely on native module singletons or the runner's global object. They now share the Script globals and remain separate from the runner's native ESM instances.
+3. Run a Script that imports the affected package and invokes an exported function containing `import()`. Confirm both its static dependencies and later dynamic imports receive the intended handler decisions. See the [runtime's import handling](../../../../packages/ptc-runtime/ptc-runtime-node/README.md#runner-import-handling) for supported formats.

+# PTC Script 处理器接收 ESM 依赖中的导入
+
+[English](guide.md) | 中文
+
+## 变更
+
+向 `runNodeMain()` 或 `runPersistentMain()` 传入 `ProgramImportHandler` 的自定义 runner，现在会接收 `.mjs` 文件以及 `type: module` 包中 `.js` 文件的静态与动态导入。此前，默认和重定向导入将整个依赖图交给 Node。这些 ESM 模块现在在 Script context 内执行，使用求值器拥有的缓存。请求中的文件名指向实际发起导入的模块。其他格式保留原生加载；省略 handler 时，所有导入都保留原生加载。
+
+## 迁移
+
+1. 更新自定义 runner 的 handler，允许 `request.referrer` 为依赖文件名，并对需要普通解析的导入返回 `{ type: 'default' }`。静态导入只绑定一次；改变 handler 结果不会替换既有绑定。
+2. 检查依赖原生模块单例或 runner 全局对象的 ESM 依赖。这些依赖现在共享 Script 全局变量，与 runner 原生 ESM 实例相互独立。
+3. 运行导入受影响包的 Script，并调用包含 `import()` 的导出函数。确认静态依赖与稍后的动态导入都收到预期的 handler 决策。支持的格式见[运行时导入处理](../../../../packages/ptc-runtime/ptc-runtime-node/README.zh.md#runner-import-handling)。

 ### Runner import handling
 
 Runner code can pass a `ProgramImportHandler` to `runNodeMain()` or `runPersistentMain()`. The handler belongs to the child process and is independent of execution syntax; it is not a serialized host binding or a plugin configuration field. VM Script accepts synchronous or asynchronous decisions; AsyncFunction and Node REPL require synchronous decisions and reject a returned Promise. `node-script` and embedded launches enable `--experimental-vm-modules`; independently started runners need that flag to intercept VM Script imports. AsyncFunction and REPL interception need no VM startup flag.
 
-For each dynamic import in compiled program code, the handler receives the specifier, import attributes and the program's absolute compilation filename. Saved functions retain that filename even after cwd changes. The decisions are:
+The handler receives each program's dynamic imports and, in VM Script, static and dynamic imports from VM-loaded ESM dependencies. Each request carries the specifier, import attributes and the importing file's absolute filename. Saved functions retain that filename even after cwd changes. The decisions are:
 
-- `{ type: 'default' }` uses Node's loader.
-- `{ type: 'redirect', specifier }` uses Node's loader with the replacement specifier and original attributes.
+- `{ type: 'default' }` resolves and loads the requested module.
+- `{ type: 'redirect', specifier }` resolves and loads the replacement specifier with the original attributes.
 - `{ type: 'module', exports }` exposes own enumerable string properties as module exports, including a property named `default`.
 
-Default and redirected imports resolve relative to the original program filename without reentering the handler; imports inside native dependencies keep their own loader. A thrown value rejects `import()` without fallback. VM Script also propagates async handler rejections and rejects source-phase imports before calling the handler. AsyncFunction and Node REPL retain Node's source-phase loading rules.
+Default and redirected imports resolve relative to the importing file; the replacement specifier does not reenter the handler. VM Script uses import-meta-resolve for package resolution and loads `.mjs` files and `.js` files in `type: module` packages through `SourceTextModule` in the Script context. Their static dependencies, re-exports and later dynamic imports consult the same async-capable handler. Each evaluator caches file modules by resolved URL, including loading, linking and evaluation failures; static imports bind once. Modules retain `import.meta.url`, `filename`, `dirname`, `resolve()` and `main: false`. Other formats use Node's loader, as do all imports when no handler is supplied. A thrown or rejected handler value rejects the importing graph without fallback; unrelated graphs remain usable. VM Script rejects source-phase imports before calling the handler and rejects import attributes on VM-loaded ESM. AsyncFunction and Node REPL retain Node's native dependency and source-phase loading rules.
 
-Export values can be arbitrary runner-local objects: prototypes, private fields, closures, cycles and synchronous methods retain their normal behavior. One exports object identifies one module per evaluator; names and values are captured once, while referenced objects remain mutable. Returning a different exports object creates another module, and the handler is consulted on every import. Module evaluation failures remain cached for that exports object. A callable `then` export follows JavaScript's dynamic-import Promise assimilation in AsyncFunction and VM Script; Node REPL rejects the resulting non-module value, so use another export name there.

A VM-compiled factory calls the native AsyncFunction constructor with Node's default loader, preserving strict function-body syntax and parameter bindings. Each evaluator and compilation filename has a distinct source URL so V8's constructor cache retains the correct import handler and referrer. REPL uses `AsyncLocalStorage` to distinguish evaluators sharing Node's cwd-based import URL. VM Script uses `importModuleDynamically` and `SyntheticModule`. Cleanup releases evaluator caches and removes hooks and bridges; Node retains natively loaded ESM namespaces and symbol registry keys until process exit. Imports started from a completed evaluation and async handler results arriving after completion reject; a saved function invoked by a later active evaluation can import normally.

+- **Recursive import handling covers explicitly declared file ESM** — CommonJS, inferred ESM, TypeScript, data URLs and other native-loaded formats retain their own dependency loaders. Static imports of native modules use synthetic exports captured at evaluation; dynamic native imports retain the original namespace. VM-loaded ESM instances are separate from Node's native module cache and share the Script globals.
 - **Confinement inherits the selected backend's limits** — full and partial enforcement are reported separately; sandbox policy and managed-process containment are distinct guarantees.
 - **The heap cap is not a process-tree memory limit** — native allocations and descendant memory are outside the V8 old-generation bound. No process-tree CPU meter is supplied.
 - **Cleanup inherits subprocess observability** — escaped descendants on a fallback platform may remain outside the managed range; see the subprocess provider's stated limits.

 ### Runner 导入处理
 
 Runner 代码可以向 `runNodeMain()` 或 `runPersistentMain()` 传入 `ProgramImportHandler`。handler 属于子进程，与执行语法无关；它不是序列化的 Host 绑定或插件配置字段。VM Script 接受同步或异步决策；AsyncFunction 和 Node REPL 要求同步决策，返回 Promise 时会被拒绝。`node-script` 和 embedded 启动方式启用 `--experimental-vm-modules`；独立启动的 runner 在拦截 VM Script 导入时需要该标志。AsyncFunction 和 REPL 导入拦截不需要 VM 启动标志。
 
-对于已编译程序代码中的每次动态导入，handler 接收模块标识符、导入属性和程序编译时的绝对文件名。即使 cwd 改变，保存的函数仍保留该文件名。可返回的决策包括：
+handler 接收程序的动态导入；在 VM Script 中，还接收 VM 加载的 ESM 依赖中的静态与动态导入。每个请求携带模块标识符、导入属性和实际导入文件的绝对文件名。即使 cwd 改变，保存的函数仍保留该文件名。可返回的决策包括：
 
-- `{ type: 'default' }` 使用 Node 的加载器。
-- `{ type: 'redirect', specifier }` 使用替换后的模块标识符和原始属性调用 Node 的加载器。
+- `{ type: 'default' }` 解析并加载请求的模块。
+- `{ type: 'redirect', specifier }` 使用原始属性解析并加载替换后的模块标识符。
 - `{ type: 'module', exports }` 将自有、可枚举的字符串属性暴露为模块导出，包括名为 `default` 的属性。
 
-默认导入和重定向导入相对于原始程序文件名解析，不会再次进入 handler；原生依赖中的导入保留各自的加载器。抛出值会使 `import()` 拒绝，不会回退。VM Script 还会传播异步 handler 的拒绝，并在调用 handler 前拒绝 source 阶段的导入。AsyncFunction 和 Node REPL 保留 Node 的 source 阶段加载规则。
+默认导入和重定向导入相对于实际导入文件解析；替换后的模块标识符不会再次进入 handler。VM Script 使用 import-meta-resolve 解析包，通过 `SourceTextModule` 在 Script context 内加载 `.mjs` 文件以及 `type: module` 包中的 `.js` 文件。其静态依赖、再导出和稍后的动态导入都调用同一个支持异步决策的 handler。每个求值器按解析后的 URL 缓存文件模块，包括加载、链接和求值失败；静态导入只绑定一次。模块保留 `import.meta.url`、`filename`、`dirname`、`resolve()` 和 `main: false`。其他格式使用 Node 加载器；未提供 handler 时，所有导入也使用 Node 加载器。handler 抛出值或拒绝会使导入该依赖的模块图失败，不会回退；无关模块图仍可使用。VM Script 在调用 handler 前拒绝 source 阶段导入，并拒绝 VM 加载的 ESM 上的导入属性。AsyncFunction 和 Node REPL 保留 Node 原生依赖加载与 source 阶段规则。
 
-导出值可以是 runner 内的任意对象：原型、私有字段、闭包、循环引用和同步方法都保持正常行为。一个 exports 对象在每个求值器中标识一个模块；名称和值只捕获一次，引用的对象仍可修改。返回不同的 exports 对象会创建另一个模块，每次导入都会调用 handler。模块求值失败也会针对该 exports 对象缓存。可调用的 `then` 导出在 AsyncFunction 和 VM Script 中遵循 JavaScript 动态导入的 Promise 同化规则；Node REPL 会拒绝由此产生的非模块值，因此在 REPL 中需使用其他导出名。

You are notified in-session when a job finishes — do not busy-poll or sleep on one; keep working on independent steps and do not duplicate a running job's work. Before giving a final answer, collect every still-relevant job with job_output (set wait: true only when you are genuinely blocked on it), and job_kill jobs that stopped mattering.

+
+create_goal may infer goal intent from a direct human request in any language. After session resume or fork, an active goal is disarmed: when a human asks to continue or resume in any wording or language, use update_goal action resume to rearm it. Mark complete only when the objective is actually achieved. Mark blocked only after the same blocking condition persists for at least 3 consecutive goal rounds, and report that concrete condition in blocked_reason; difficulty, uncertainty, or useful remaining work is not blocked.
+
+Use the workflow tool ONLY when the user explicitly asks for a workflow or for large multi-agent orchestration: you write a JavaScript script (the tool description documents the exact format) that fans work out across many subagents with phases and structured results. For one or two delegations, prefer plain subagent calls.
+
+Start independent delegations with `subagent` or `subagent_fork` together in one assistant message and continue useful work while they run.
+
+## Writing code for run_code
+
+`run_code` takes two required arguments: `code`, the program to execute, and `description`, a short summary of what the program does. The declarations below are SDK bindings for this program. A declaration does not make its name a directly callable tool; only names supplied as separate tool schemas may be called directly. When no separate `bash` schema is supplied, invoke a declared `bash` binding inside `run_code`:
+
+`run_code({ code: "console.log(await tools.bash({ description: 'Show current directory', command: 'pwd' }))", description: "Show current directory" })`
+
+Inside the program:
+
+- Call tools as `await tools.name(args)` — quoted access for exotic names: `tools["my-tool"](args)`. Every call resolves to the tool's typed canonical JSON value. Tool arguments must be lossless JSON.
+- A FAILED tool call rejects with `ToolCallError`, whose `toolName` identifies the failed tool and whose `message` is human-readable — `try/catch` it to handle and continue.
+- Independent read-only calls MAY overlap under `Promise.all` (safe calls run concurrently; mutating calls run alone, in submission order). Sequence dependent work with `await`.
+- Only values emitted as program output enter the conversation. A successful tool result containing an image is attached after the run so you can inspect it on the next step; every other intermediate result stays out of the conversation, so extract just what you need.
+
+Program-only SDK bindings:

Script-body hooks: - `agent(prompt, opts?): Promise<any>` — run one subagent to completion. Without `opts.schema` it resolves to the child's final text; with `opts.schema` (an object-rooted JSON Schema using ONLY type/properties/required/additionalProperties/items/enum/const/oneOf) it resolves to the validated object. Resolves `null` when the child fails (filter with `.filter(Boolean)`). Other opts: `label` (display), `phase` (progress group), and independent `provider`/`model` LLM target overrides. - `pipeline(items, ...stages): Promise<any[]>` — run each item through the stages independently with NO barrier between stages (prefer this for multi-stage work). Each stage receives `(prev, item, index)`. A stage throw drops that ITEM to `null` and skips its remaining stages. - `parallel(thunks): Promise<any[]>` — run zero-argument functions concurrently and await ALL of them (a barrier; use only when a stage genuinely needs every prior result together). A throwing thunk resolves to `null`. - `phase(title)` — start a progress phase; `log(message)` — narrate progress; `args` — the tool call's `args` input, verbatim.

Takes two required arguments: `code`, the program to execute, and `description`, a short summary of what the program does. Call tools as `await tools.name(args)` per the declarations in the system prompt. Curate the program output. Image-bearing subtool results are attached after the run. The program contains TypeScript script statements; only erasable syntax is accepted, with no enum or namespaces. Type annotations are advisory. Top-level declarations and await are supported; top-level return is not supported. Emit output with console.log(...) or a final lossless JSON expression. The final expression is awaited if it is a Promise. Only printed values and that final expression become program output. Variables, functions, and imported modules remain in memory for this Agent across calls. Use await import(...) for modules. Relative paths use the supplied working directory. Direct filesystem access follows this execution's sandbox policy; process.env starts empty. Await asynchronous work: an uncaught callback exception or unhandled rejection terminates the process and clears its variables. Values from bindings and imports can belong to another realm; use Array.isArray for arrays and the supplied binding error classes for failures, because instanceof Array or Error may be false. Changing the session sandbox mode clears retained variables. An approved sandbox escalation runs in a separate temporary environment: it cannot access retained variables, and its declarations are discarded afterward. Restart, Agent disposal, cancellation, timeout, output overflow, or process failure clears the environment. If a variable is undefined, recreate it and reacquire its resources. State is not restored from the conversation, and failed evaluations can leave earlier mutations in memory. Redeclaring an existing let, const, or class name fails; assign to a mutable binding or use a new name. Await all tool calls; background callbacks cannot call tools after their evaluation ends. Await child-process completion before ending an evaluation; raw subprocess output belongs to whichever evaluation is active when it arrives. If a native top-level let, const, or class initializer throws, its name may remain permanently uninitialized; use a new name or restart the environment. Each program starts in the Session's current directory. Running programs keep their initial directory. A sandbox escalation approves this complete program for one execution only. Nested tools retain their own policies and approvals. Request wider access only after evidence of a denial. Earlier effects may already have completed: inspect them before explicitly retrying.

 ### Launch and control
 
-The host strips erasable types and, when starting a process, resolves the executable and bootstrap in the configured execution world, awaits argv confinement through `ctx.sandbox`, then spawns through `ctx.subprocess`. Cancellation is checked again after confinement, so a provider returning after cancellation cannot start the program. After adopting the inherited control channel, the child retains only executable-search, Windows system, and temporary paths in its OS environment and replaces the program-visible `process.env` with an empty dictionary. Windows ACL setup receives the parent's distinct `TEMP` and `TMP` values for shared grant locks, then replaces both with its private directory before starting the program. These native paths keep nested process creation and native temporary-file APIs functional. The host preserves `ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE` only for child startup so the Desktop executable runs the Node bootstrap; the bootstrap removes the selector before evaluating model code. The heap limit uses Node argv or a provider-created `NODE_OPTIONS` value for packaged executables; ambient loader and inspector flags are discarded.

After adopting the inherited control channel, the child retains only executable-search, Windows system, and temporary paths in its OS environment and replaces the program-visible `process.env` with an empty dictionary.

The heap limit uses Node argv or a provider-created `NODE_OPTIONS` value for packaged executables; ambient loader and inspector flags are discarded.
 
 The host calls the child’s `run()` method through birpc; injected bindings call the host’s `invoke()` method, and captured output uses notifications. birpc owns request correlation, remote results, and rejection delivery. Newline-delimited JSON travels over the inherited control pipe separately from stdout/stderr. The RPC adapter bounds each line and the native write queue and rejects pending calls when the pipe closes; birpc answers calls to methods an endpoint does not own with an error, and runs no method after the pipe closes. The host validates binding names and lossless JSON before dispatch; one pipe delivers each evaluation's messages before its result, so messages carry no evaluation identity. Execution deadlines remain host-owned, including calls that await approval.

 Host 通过 birpc 调用子进程的 `run()` 方法；注入的绑定调用 Host 的 `invoke()` 方法，捕获的输出通过通知传递。birpc 负责请求关联、远程结果和异常传递。逐行 JSON 通过继承的控制管道传输，与 stdout/stderr 分离。RPC 适配层限制每行消息和原生写入队列的大小，并在管道关闭时拒绝待完成调用；对端点自身没有的方法，birpc 以错误回复，管道关闭后不再执行任何方法。Host 在分派前校验绑定名与无损 JSON；同一管道保证每次求值的消息先于其结果到达，因此消息不携带求值身份。执行截止时间仍由 Host 管理，包含等待审批的调用。

-The public npm package exposes `packVfsImage` and `packVfsOverlay` through its library entry. Callers supply the profile name, the package roster, the installation manifest, package directories, and the resolution root; no profile layer is installed and no composed configuration is packed — the worker composes the bundle layers at boot. An optional `homePatch` is written to `home/cordis.patch.yml`, the home layer the image's app-boot reads. The runtime's library entry supplies the module-proxy and replacement tables used during packing.

An optional `homePatch` is written to `home/cordis.patch.yml`, the home layer the image's app-boot reads. The runtime's library entry supplies the module-proxy and replacement tables used during packing, including the `process` and `node:process` aliases that Worker Host assembly supplies from its installed global.
 
 The packer owns the internal `dsh.configTrees` declaration, its validation, and source directory resolution in [`src/repository.ts`](src/repository.ts). This field is not part of the public plugin manifest API.

+Default and redirected imports resolve relative to the importing file; the replacement specifier does not reenter the handler. VM Script uses Node's ESM resolver with the runner's active conditions and flags, and loads `.mjs` files and `.js` files in `type: module` packages through `SourceTextModule` in the Script context. Their static dependencies, re-exports and later dynamic imports consult the same async-capable handler. Each evaluator caches file modules by resolved URL, including module and handler failures; static imports bind once. A later evaluation reloads modules whose linking or evaluation failed because a previous evaluation ended, while successfully evaluated modules retain their identity. Modules retain `import.meta.url`, `filename`, `dirname`, `resolve()` and `main: false`. Other formats use Node's loader, as do all imports when no handler is supplied. A thrown or rejected handler value rejects the importing graph without fallback; unrelated graphs remain usable. VM Script rejects source-phase imports before calling the handler and rejects import attributes on VM-loaded ESM. AsyncFunction and Node REPL retain Node's native dependency and source-phase loading rules.
 
 Export values can be arbitrary runner-local objects: prototypes, private fields, closures, cycles and synchronous methods retain their normal behavior. One exports object identifies one module per evaluator; names and values are captured once, while referenced objects remain mutable. Returning a different exports object creates another module. The handler is consulted on every dynamic import and each static request during linking. Module evaluation failures remain cached for that exports object. A callable `then` export follows JavaScript's dynamic-import Promise assimilation in AsyncFunction and VM Script; Node REPL rejects the resulting non-module value, so use another export name there.
 
-AsyncFunction and Node REPL share synchronous `registerHooks` and a symbol-keyed global export bridge. A VM-compiled factory calls the native AsyncFunction constructor with Node's default loader, preserving strict function-body syntax and parameter bindings. Each evaluator and compilation filename has a distinct source URL so V8's constructor cache retains the correct import handler and referrer. REPL uses `AsyncLocalStorage` to distinguish evaluators sharing Node's cwd-based import URL. VM Script owns ESM loading and linking through per-module callbacks; Node retains evaluation state. Cleanup releases evaluator caches and removes hooks and bridges; Node retains natively loaded ESM namespaces and symbol registry keys until process exit. Imports started from a completed evaluation and async handler results arriving after completion reject; a saved function invoked by a later active evaluation can import normally.

 导出值可以是 runner 内的任意对象：原型、私有字段、闭包、循环引用和同步方法都保持正常行为。一个 exports 对象在每个求值器中标识一个模块；名称和值只捕获一次，引用的对象仍可修改。返回不同的 exports 对象会创建另一个模块。每次动态导入以及链接时的每个静态请求都会调用 handler。模块求值失败也会针对该 exports 对象缓存。可调用的 `then` 导出在 AsyncFunction 和 VM Script 中遵循 JavaScript 动态导入的 Promise 同化规则；Node REPL 会拒绝由此产生的非模块值，因此在 REPL 中需使用其他导出名。

-description: "PTC Script import handlers now receive imports from explicitly declared ESM dependencies."
----
-
-# PTC Script handlers receive ESM dependency imports
-
-English | [中文](guide.zh.md)
-
-## Change
-
-Custom runners passing a `ProgramImportHandler` to `runNodeMain()` or `runPersistentMain()` now receive static and dynamic imports from `.mjs` files and `.js` files in `type: module` packages. Previously, default and redirected imports delegated their entire dependency graph to Node. These ESM modules now execute in the Script context and use an evaluator-owned cache. Their requests identify the importing module's filename. Other formats retain native loading; omitting the handler retains native loading for all imports.
-
-## Migration
-
-1. Update custom runner handlers to accept dependency filenames as `request.referrer`, and return `{ type: 'default' }` for imports that need ordinary resolution. Static imports bind once; changing a handler result does not replace an existing binding.
-2. Check ESM dependencies that rely on native module singletons or the runner's global object. They now share the Script globals and remain separate from the runner's native ESM instances.
-3. Run a Script that imports the affected package and invokes an exported function containing `import()`. Confirm both its static dependencies and later dynamic imports receive the intended handler decisions. See the [runtime's import handling](../../../../packages/ptc-runtime/ptc-runtime-node/README.md#runner-import-handling) for supported formats.

-
-# PTC Script 处理器接收 ESM 依赖中的导入
-
-[English](guide.md) | 中文
-
-## 变更
-
-向 `runNodeMain()` 或 `runPersistentMain()` 传入 `ProgramImportHandler` 的自定义 runner，现在会接收 `.mjs` 文件以及 `type: module` 包中 `.js` 文件的静态与动态导入。此前，默认和重定向导入将整个依赖图交给 Node。这些 ESM 模块现在在 Script context 内执行，使用求值器拥有的缓存。请求中的文件名指向实际发起导入的模块。其他格式保留原生加载；省略 handler 时，所有导入都保留原生加载。
-
-## 迁移
-
-1. 更新自定义 runner 的 handler，允许 `request.referrer` 为依赖文件名，并对需要普通解析的导入返回 `{ type: 'default' }`。静态导入只绑定一次；改变 handler 结果不会替换既有绑定。
-2. 检查依赖原生模块单例或 runner 全局对象的 ESM 依赖。这些依赖现在共享 Script 全局变量，与 runner 原生 ESM 实例相互独立。
-3. 运行导入受影响包的 Script，并调用包含 `import()` 的导出函数。确认静态依赖与稍后的动态导入都收到预期的 handler 决策。支持的格式见[运行时导入处理](../../../../packages/ptc-runtime/ptc-runtime-node/README.zh.md#runner-import-handling)。

Callers supply the profile name, the package roster, the installation manifest, package directories, and the resolution root; no profile layer is installed and no composed configuration is packed — the worker composes the bundle layers at boot. An optional `homePatch` is written to `home/cordis.patch.yml`, the home layer the image's app-boot reads. The runtime's library entry supplies the module-proxy and replacement tables used during packing, including the `process` and `node:process` aliases that Worker Host assembly supplies from its installed global.

 ### Source and built bootstraps
 
-Source execution loads an erasable-only bootstrap closure without relying on sibling built exports; its evaluator modules and installed Acorn, birpc and import-meta-resolve dependencies must be available in the execution world. Built script execution uses `process.js` for every mode; `persistent-process.js` delegates to the same loop with a REPL default for hosts that omit program syntax. Persistent mode requires a `node-script` launch. A remote script deployment supplies the matching `launch.bootstrapPath`. Embedded carriers launch their private worker through `launch.executable`. `resolveLaunch()` selects the local default during construction; an explicit remote invocation never depends on whether the client itself is packaged. A host path is never assumed to name the same remote file.

-Source containing `await` is checked for top-level await before native compilation, which can otherwise treat `await` as an identifier. Acorn parses an async wrapper, and acorn-walk traverses it using Node's REPL visitors, declaration hoisting and character-position edits. Computed class-method keys are traversed while method bodies remain separate evaluations. The transform boxes the final expression; the evaluator unwraps and awaits its value. Source that needs no lowering uses native compilation; submissions without `await` retain native syntax diagnostics. Syntax errors preserve the parser message and available source location and caret, without compiler or transformer stack frames. Dynamic `import()` expressions remain native and use the compiling Script's `importModuleDynamically` option. Both private process bundles include Acorn, acorn-walk, birpc and import-meta-resolve; source execution imports the installed packages.

 Export values can be arbitrary runner-local objects: prototypes, private fields, closures, cycles and synchronous methods retain their normal behavior. One exports object identifies one module per evaluator; names and values are captured once, while referenced objects remain mutable. Returning a different exports object creates another module. The handler is consulted on every dynamic import and each static request during linking. Module evaluation failures remain cached for that exports object. A callable `then` export follows JavaScript's dynamic-import Promise assimilation in AsyncFunction and VM Script; Node REPL rejects the resulting non-module value, so use another export name there.

A single-document sample averages twenty evaluations, or forty for the half-sized input of a scaling pair, so both sizes process the same total keys or characters per sample; a 5,000-message sample evaluates the batch once.

Identical code measured JWT doubling at 1.91× in one CI run and 2.70× in another; a local Node 24 run also exceeded the unchanged 2.5× limit on a different input. Adjacent, alternating size rounds retain the sample counts, GC inclusion, workloads, and limits. Independent minima can still select rounds at different speeds; the median of paired ratios prevents one faster half-sized sample from deciding the scaling result. A controlled extra evaluation cost on only the 128 KiB input must still fail the doubling assertion.
 - **Equal evaluation counts at both scaling sizes**: the larger input allocates twice as much per sample, so its fastest sample can include a collection while the smaller input's fastest sample includes none. Equal total input per sample makes the per-evaluation means compare similar allocation volumes without excluding GC or changing the doubling limit.
 - **Unwarmed, separate baseline and matcher batches**: sub-millisecond baseline measurements can reach optimized code before the matcher’s newly exercised paths do, and separate batches amplify clock-speed drift. Per-workload warm-up, adjacent pairs, and fixed batches compare warmed code while limiting noise in short intervals and preserving fresh documents and matcher state.
 - **One quantified pattern per format, run from every query**: patterns without a hit scan to the end of the text each time, so cost grows quadratically with credentials, and length quantifiers backtrack on failure.
