Options and arguments are declared on the definition and validated before run. Setup runs ahead of argument enforcement so a definition can derive its arguments; a redeclared CLI option keeps whatever it leaves unspecified; unknown options are tolerated instead of skipping validation; objectOption covers --env.* style values; a missing required argument keeps the command's preamble in the error.
Platform validation, dynamic delegation, native-add and widget, test, create/install/post-install-cli/help, enforced-parameter, device, self-contained, platform, plugin and hooks, open|*, and the rest. Class-based surfaces the migration left without callers are deprecated rather than removed, since extensions may import them.
… type registerCommand takes one shape and registers in one call, off the global binding and into the loading context's injector; built-in commands load on first use through a shared helper; getInjector becomes getRootInjector. Package-manager commands register from their real path, dev-post-install is reachable again, and a mistyped subcommand shows help in the terminal.
A command can run another in process without exiting on failure; a definition's setup state is scoped to one invocation; DeferredCommandResult is a discriminated union; the command-name types an extension needs are exported from the contracts. BREAKING CHANGE: ctx.arguments is now ctx.params on the command context.
ns start's key handling becomes a declarative table over a caller-supplied context, with state on the context and capabilities on the injector; the key-command surface leaves the injector facade. Failures from the spawned run children surface in the parent, and NS_NO_OPEN keeps the CLI from launching a browser where nobody is watching.
KeyShortcutRegistry is a contract with disposable registrations; the engine resolves help and dispatch through it, so an entry registered at runtime takes effect immediately. The shared entries become builders, a defineCommand may declare the keys it answers to, and ns run and ns debug get their own tables behind NS_COMMAND_SHORTCUTS (default off).
Stopping a bundler only sent SIGINT and returned, so a restart could spawn a replacement while the old watcher was still alive. The stale child's exit then evicted the replacement's map entry, and a compilation finishing on it still reached the prepare controller. Await the child's exit (escalating to SIGKILL), detach its output and IPC handlers, and key every eviction on process identity. The prepare controller now keeps its compilation handler per platform, so stopping one platform no longer leaves the other's listener attached.
r restarts the app of the running session without preparing, building or syncing; R prepares again first and rebuilds the native app only if needed; B always rebuilds it. The help hint is repeated once a burst of syncs settles, and a restart stays on the devices the session was given instead of every device attached to the platform.

`class X extends Command({ name, options, ... })` is sugar over the object
form: the definition is read through a static getter, `this.options` and
`this.args` are typed, and a command's services are typed from its setup. The
invocation context is provided under COMMAND_CONTEXT, which is what the class
form's field initializers read.
Each invocation builds one context object that every stage shares. The structured commands move to the class form, whose result type is inferred from `run` and whose meta is validated eagerly; the simple ones are inlined as object definitions; cross-command checks go through canExecuteCommand. The guide describes where a handler gets its services.
CommandsService is the contract a command, a key shortcut or a plugin runs or consults another command through. It takes a registered name or a definition run as given, routes a parent name to its subcommand and fires the full hook name, rejects a dispatch that overlaps a running one while letting them nest, and replaces the free runCommand and canExecuteCommand helpers. `ctx.injector` is the invocation's own injector.
`ctx.fail(message, { help })` replaces the commands' direct use of $errors,
and signing and install options are read from the typed `ctx.options` instead
of the global options object.
A definition declares `providers` for its invocation injector; the container takes `multi: true` providers, which shadow per level as in Angular; and COMMAND_PRECONDITIONS is a multi token run before setup and before the arguments policy. `provideProject()` is how a command declares that it runs inside a project.
- A bare class in `providers` provides itself, as in Angular; the container
expands it to `{ provide: Cls, useClass: Cls }` and the definition rejects
anything that is neither a class nor a `provide` object.
- A COMMAND_PRECONDITIONS entry is a function or a list of functions, checked
with the command's name; the list form is what lets a command keep the
scope's preconditions next to its own.
- An argument's `validate` runs inside the invocation's injection context.
- `runCommand` and `canExecuteCommand` take `{ injector }` for a definition
run as given, defaulting to the caller's injection context, then the root;
a registered name rejects it.
- Option priming happens inside the guarded block, so a throwing
`validateOptions` leaves no command entry behind.
- `getInjector()` stays as a deprecated alias of `getRootInjector()`, and the
compat tests carry their original lines again.
- `provideProject` lives under lib/contracts and is exported from
nativescript/contracts with `CommandReference` and `CommandDispatchOptions`.
- The guide follows the API on every point above.

…iew found `executeCommandInProcess` and `canExecuteCommandInProcess` were renamed on this branch before any release, so they go rather than stay deprecated; the same for the `getInjector()` alias of `getRootInjector()`. The dispatcher's hierarchical branch in option priming was unreachable once parent names were routed to their leaf, the adapter shares `define-command`'s `isPlainObject` instead of carrying a second one, the options service is typed in the adapter, and `classCommandDefinition` is no longer exported.

The deprecation note on disableCommandHelpSuggestion said only that nothing references it, which the declaration already shows; the file goes back to its merge-base content.

Inline comments:
In `@defining-commands.md`:
- Around line 1050-1051: Remove the sentence in the `canExecuteCommand`
documentation that refers to `canExecuteCommandInProcess` and
`executeCommandInProcess`; keep the surrounding description of option handling
and parent-name routing intact.
- Line 60: Update the validation-list wording near the five helpers to reflect
that `arguments` may be `"none"`, `"any"`, or a valid array of argument specs;
preserve the surrounding description of immediate errors.
In `@lib/commands/open.ts`:
- Around line 159-161: Update the visionOS shortcut flow around openXcodeProject
to save the previous $options.platformOverride value and restore it in a finally
block, so it is restored whether the call succeeds or throws.
- Around line 90-101: Update the platform-specific launch logic selected by
currentPlatform to pass IDE paths as argument arrays to spawn instead of
interpolating them into exec shell strings. Apply this to the macOS and Linux
Android launches and the xcprojectFile launch, preserving the existing
platform-specific launch behavior and detached-process handling where
applicable.
In `@lib/commands/preview.ts`:
- Around line 82-84: Add a break after assigning installCommand in the
PackageManagers.bun case so it does not fall through to the npm/default branch
and overwrite Bun’s install command.
In `@lib/common/definitions/commands.d.ts`:
- Line 27: Preserve legacy option-validation behavior by adding
skipOptionsValidation as a deprecated alias in the command definition and
updating both validation paths in CommandsService to use it when
allowUnknownOptions is unset; keep allowUnknownOptions as the preferred setting.
In `@lib/common/services/commands-service.ts`:
- Around line 547-554: Update primeOptions to restore the saved options and argv
if validateOptions throws, then rethrow the original error; return the same
restore callback on success so callers can continue using it.
- Around line 367-373: Make Errors.reportCommandError idempotent so repeated
reports of the same exception from nested runCommand calls and beginCommand do
not duplicate messages or exception tracking; mark an object error as reported
and skip subsequent reporting in that method.
In `@lib/controllers/prepare-controller.ts`:
- Around line 129-138: In stopWatchers, move the bundlerCompilerHandler removal
and reset outside the hasWebpackCompilerProcess guard so the listener is removed
even when the watcher was paused; keep stopping the compiler and clearing
hasWebpackCompilerProcess conditional on that guard.
In `@lib/controllers/run-controller.ts`:
- Around line 332-339: Update the queued action passed to addActionToChain so
both its device predicate and deviceAction re-read the persisted session
descriptors when they run. Skip execution for a device whose current descriptor
is absent, rather than relying on the earlier deviceDescriptors snapshot.
In `@lib/services/bundler/bundler-compiler-service.ts`:
- Around line 1079-1097: Update waitForExit to return an already-resolved true
result when the child process has exited, checking exitCode or signalCode before
registering event listeners or starting the timeout; preserve the existing wait
behavior for running processes.
In `@lib/services/key-shortcuts.ts`:
- Around line 404-416: Update the non-TTY branch in attach to use the IPC path
only when process.send is a function; otherwise release shortcuts and return
false. Preserve the existing message listener and successful return when an IPC
channel is available.
- Around line 237-246: In lib/services/key-shortcuts.ts, update both `c`
shortcut handlers to spawn `process.execPath` with `$staticConfig.cliBinPath`
and `"clean"`, resolving `staticConfig` from `ctx.injector`, and attach an error
listener so spawn failures do not crash the interactive session. In
lib/services/start-service.ts, replace the `"node"` executable with
`process.execPath` and add a `clean` error listener that logs `error.message`
through `$logger`.
In `@lib/services/start-service.ts`:
- Around line 136-155: Update the `forward` action in `keyShortcuts()` to send
keys to `this.visionos` as well as the iOS and Android children. Update the `c`
shortcut action to stop the visionOS child before continuing to cleanup, so `ns
clean` does not run while it is still syncing.

- A legacy command's `skipOptionsValidation` still counts, as the deprecated spelling of `allowUnknownOptions`. - Option priming puts the parser back when validation throws, and an error is reported once however many dispatch levels rethrow it. - `open` passes IDE paths as arguments instead of shell strings, resets the visionOS platform override in a `finally`, and logs a failed launch. - `preview` no longer falls through from the bun case to npm. - The prepare controller removes its bundler listener even while the watcher is paused; a restart re-reads the session's device descriptors so a device stopped meanwhile is left alone; `waitForExit` answers at once for a child that has already exited. - The `c` shortcut spawns the CLI through `process.execPath` and reports a spawn failure instead of crashing; shortcuts attach over IPC only when an IPC channel exists; a visionOS child receives forwarded keys and is stopped by `c`. - The guide no longer names the removed in-process aliases and describes the argument specs a definition accepts.
…s `required` `arguments` cannot be bound as an identifier in strict code, so a definition could never be destructured or written with property shorthand; the field is now `params`, the word the context already uses for the same values, and a stale `arguments` key is rejected with a message naming the fix. `ParamSpec`, `ParamsPolicy` and `CommandParamValues` replace the argument-named types, which stay as deprecated aliases; `platformArgument` is `platformParam`. An option spec takes `required: true`: its absence fails the invocation after the params policy and before `canExecute`, and the handler's value type drops `| undefined`, as a `default` already does. The two do not combine.

Options and positionalparamsare declared on the definition and validated beforerun, and an option can berequired;setupruns ahead of argument enforcement; a forwarding command declaresallowUnknownOptionsinstead of skipping validation. Class-based surfaces the migration left without callers are deprecated, not removed, since extensions may import them.class X extends Command({ name, options, ... })reads its definition through a static getter, typesthis.optionsandthis.args, typespostRunoffrun, and validates its meta eagerly.
