98 deprecate distdir in favor of distdir in runableconfigts

[domutala]

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added distDir as the canonical option for setting the build output directory. It defaults to .output; when both distDir and distdir are set, distDir takes precedence.
• Documentation
  • Updated English and French configuration, build, and integration guides to use distDir.
• Compatibility
  • The existing distdir option remains supported but is deprecated and scheduled for removal in the next major version.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The distDir option is now canonical for the build output directory. Configuration resolution prefers it over distdir, while preserving the legacy alias. Runtime output paths and English and French documentation now use distDir.

Changes

distDir Configuration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Configuration option and resolution packages/runable/src/config/types.ts, packages/runable/src/config/resolve.ts, .changeset/loud-flies-train.md	RunableConfig and ResolvedConfig include distDir. Resolution prefers distDir, falls back to distdir or .output, and exposes the resolved path under both names. The changeset marks distdir deprecated and states that distDir takes precedence.
Runtime output paths packages/runable/src/inspector/project.ts, packages/runable/src/vite/build/production.ts, packages/runable/src/vite/request.ts	The inspector, production build, and production request pipeline use distDir to locate output directories, assets, manifests, and relative server entries.
Configuration documentation website/content/docs/*/getting-started/configuration.md, website/content/docs/en/guide/cli/build.md, website/content/docs/*/guide/production-build.md, website/content/docs/*/integrations/index.md, website/content/docs/*/structure/{gitignore,output,runable-config}.md	English and French configuration documentation uses distDir in examples, descriptions, and production asset paths.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a2ff4

Users who customize distDir may check the wrong location when a production manifest is missing. Update the guidance to show the configured path and identify .output as the default; this is a bounded documentation issue.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a2ff4

The new output-directory option is used consistently by the production build and request paths, but an extension that changes the deprecated option after configuration is resolved may no longer affect those paths. The impact on existing extensions and deployments is unknown.

Retained concerns

• Medium · architecture · inferred: A configuration extension that changes only the retained ResolvedConfig.distdir field after resolution can leave it different from distDir. Production build and request paths now use distDir, so that legacy mutation no longer selects their output directory. Whether deployed extensions rely on this behavior is unknown.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — A changed effective output directory affects both generated artifacts and the production files read or imported from that directory. Evidence does not establish that an untrusted party can set either configuration field.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The inspected HTTP asset reader constrains request-derived file paths beneath distDir/client. No new request-controlled output-directory input was identified in that reader.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — If an extension uses the legacy field to enforce an output location, alias divergence could defeat that intended configuration control. No such deployed control or attacker path was verified.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Define how post-resolution writes to the deprecated field are handled, or synchronize the fields after extension hooks, so output-location controls cannot silently drift during migration.

Use the configured distDir in the missing-manifest guidance.

Both warnings name .output/manifest.js, which is only the default location. When distDir is customized, readers may check the wrong path.
