Error message

{} does not declare dsh.bundle.patch; cannot link it as a profile bundle

What it means

After locating the launcher package root, `app_bundle_source` reads `<root>/node_modules/@deepseek-ai/dsh-<app>/package.json` and requires it to declare both `"bundle"` and `"patch"` (the `dsh.bundle.patch` capability). This error means the app package exists but its manifest does not declare that capability, so Codewhale cannot link it as a profile bundle — the installed dsh release ships app packages that are not bundle-capable (different version, changed layout, or stripped build).

Solutions

1. Reinstall dsh cleanly so optional app packages are present: `npm i -g @deepseek-ai/dsh@latest`
2. Inspect `<dsh package root>/node_modules/@deepseek-ai/dsh-web/package.json` (and dsh-headless) and confirm they contain the bundle and patch keys
3. If the latest dsh still fails, this Codewhale build and that dsh release are out of step — update Codewhale or pin dsh to the release named by `codewhale integrations dsh status`
4. Avoid npm flags that skip optional dependencies for this global install

let app_dir = root.join("node_modules").join(app.package_name());
let manifest = std::fs::read_to_string(app_dir.join("package.json"))?;
if !(manifest.contains("\"bundle\"") && manifest.contains("\"patch\"")) {
    eprintln!("{} is not bundle-capable; update dsh: npm i -g @deepseek-ai/dsh@latest", app_dir.display());
    return Ok(());
}

fn app_bundle_capable(root: &std::path::Path, app: dsh::DshAppBundle) -> bool {
    std::fs::read_to_string(
        root.join("node_modules").join(app.package_name()).join("package.json"),
    )
    .is_ok_and(|m| m.contains("\"bundle\"") && m.contains("\"patch\""))
}

When it happens

Trigger: install-bundle with `--app web` or `--app headless` on a dsh release whose bundled app packages lack the bundle/patch manifest keys — older releases that did not ship app bundles, newer releases that moved or renamed them, or installs where optional dependencies were skipped (`npm i --omit=optional`).

Common situations: dsh releases before app bundles existed; npm installs with --omit=optional or --no-optional pruning app packages; registry mirrors serving a stale or trimmed @deepseek-ai scope; partial global installs after an interrupted upgrade.
