S2 ships the foundation that lets later slices (S3+) drop the
`mcode acp` child-process boundary:

* New `packages/webui/server/lib/runtime-host.js` exports
  `createCatalogueHost` (long-lived, replaces the ACP singleton for
  read-only catalogue traffic) and `createTurnHost` (per-turn wrapper
  around `adapter.sendMessage`/`adapter.abortSession` with the R1
  exception boundary and the R2 bounded abort). No route consumes them
  yet — S3-S6 wire catalogue/turn traffic incrementally, S7 flips the
  default. The default behaviour is byte-identical to `main`.

* New `MCODE_WEBUI_TRANSPORT` config knob (default `acp`, the
  legacy `MCODE_USE_ACP=0` escape hatch still wins). Documented in
  both `docs/webui.md` and `docs/webui.zh-CN.md` — full table of
  accepted values, interaction with `MCODE_USE_ACP`, and the S3+
  rollout stages. `server/lib/config.js` validates the value and
  warns on unknown values rather than refusing to boot.

* `scripts/build.mjs` adds a `createRequire` banner to the webui
  server bundle. The webui bundle's dependency tree pulls in
  proper-lockfile (CJS), which requires `path` at module load. Without
  a banner the synthetic `__require` shim throws
  'Dynamic require of "path" is not supported' on first import —
  the S1 acceptance-call hard blocker, finally fixed here. The CLI
  bundle has had an equivalent banner since 0.5.4; the webui bundle
  mirrors it via a new
  `createWebuiBundleModuleLocationConfig` helper.

* `packages/webui/test/server/runtime-host.test.js` pins:
  - boot → createSession → listSessions → close in an isolated tmp
    dataDir with zero `mcode` child processes (R1 acceptance target),
  - `close()` is bounded even when `apiHost.close()` hangs (R8),
  - sendMessage iterator throws become stream error frames, never
    propagated (R1 turn-host boundary — mutation-1 turns red when
    dropped),
  - `abortSession` returns within 5s without any subprocess kill
    (R2 — mutation-2 turns red when the bounded race is removed).

Acceptance:
* `pnpm typecheck`, `pnpm --filter @mavis/webui webapp:typecheck`:
  both 0.
* `pnpm --filter @mavis/webui test`: 1952/1954 pass (2 baseline skips
  unrelated to this change). My four S2-RH tests all green.
* `pnpm check:source`: 4715 reviewed files after inventory regen.
* `pnpm check:tsconfig`: 132 package exports match.
* `pnpm test:release-tools`: 69/70 pass (1 baseline skip).

Dist-shape runtime assertion (no-banner probe → exits 1 with the
expected symptom; banner probe → exits 0 and `createCatalogueHost` +
`createTurnHost` resolve as functions on the bundled module): see
archive/evidence/s2-runtime-host/R1-dev.

-## Transport selection (ACP or exec)
+## Transport selection (ACP, exec, or runtime)
 
-Every turn is sent to the engine over one of two transports. The choice is made server-side, per turn, before the engine spawns — and it is decided in two different places, evaluated in this order:
+Every turn is sent to the engine over one of three transports: the long-lived ACP subprocess (`mcode acp`), the one-shot exec subprocess (`mcode exec`), or — added in slice S2 — an **in-process runtime host** (`packages/webui/server/lib/runtime-host.js`) that owns the same `CliService` the TUI does. The choice is made server-side, per turn, before the engine spawns — and it is decided in two different places, evaluated in this order:
 
-1. `process.env.MCODE_USE_ACP === "0"` forces the exec transport (`packages/webui/server/routes/chat.js#handleSend`; the code comment there calls it the escape hatch for an ACP protocol regression). This is the only read of the variable in the codebase.
+1. `process.env.MCODE_USE_ACP === "0"` forces the exec transport (`packages/webui/server/routes/chat.js#handleSend`; the code comment there calls it the escape hatch for an ACP protocol regression). This is the only read of the variable in the codebase. `MCODE_USE_ACP=0` short-circuits all three transports.
 2. Otherwise the turn is handed to `runMcodeAcp` (`packages/webui/server/lib/mcode-acp.js`), which **silently re-routes to `runMcodeExec`** in its first branch when `cs.permissions` is set and is anything other than `"Full access"`.
 3. Only when neither applies does the turn actually run over ACP.
 
+S2 (slice 2 of the runtime-first migration) introduces a new switch alongside `MCODE_USE_ACP`:
+
+| Env var | Default | Accepted values | What it does |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `MCODE_USE_ACP` | unset | `0` → exec escape hatch (overrides everything); `1` → no effect; unset → no effect | Today-only escape hatch; see rows below. |
+| `MCODE_WEBUI_TRANSPORT` | `acp` | `acp` (today's behaviour), `exec` (route through `runMcodeExec` always), `runtime` (opt-in to the S2 in-process host) | Selects the engine transport. Default keeps every response field-identical to today's `main`; opt-in paths route through the runtime host once S3+ lands. |
+
+Resolution rule, in priority order:
+
+1. `MCODE_USE_ACP=0` ⇒ `exec`, regardless of `MCODE_WEBUI_TRANSPORT`. The legacy escape hatch wins.
+2. `MCODE_WEBUI_TRANSPORT=exec` ⇒ `exec`. Permission-mode re-route inside `runMcodeAcp` still applies.
+3. `MCODE_WEBUI_TRANSPORT=runtime` ⇒ `runtime`. S2 lands the host infrastructure but no route reads the switch yet; the value is plumbed for S3+. Setting this to `runtime` today is a no-op until S3 lands.
+4. `MCODE_WEBUI_TRANSPORT=acp` (default) ⇒ today's ACP path. Permission-mode re-route still applies.
+5. Unknown value (e.g. typo) ⇒ falls back to `acp` with a one-line warning to stderr. The server never refuses to boot because of an unknown transport.
+
 | Turn condition | Transport | Decided at |
 | --- | --- | --- |
 | `MCODE_USE_ACP=0` in the server environment | exec | `routes/chat.js#handleSend` |
-| `cs.permissions` is `Ask`, `Auto`, or `Read` (not `Full access`) | exec (silent re-route) | `mcode-acp.js#runMcodeAcp` |
+| `MCODE_WEBUI_TRANSPORT=exec` | exec | `server/lib/config.js#MCODE_WEBUI_TRANSPORT` |
+| `cs.permissions` is `Ask`, `Auto`, or `Read` (not `Full access`) | exec (silent re-route inside ACP entry) | `mcode-acp.js#runMcodeAcp` |
+| `MCODE_WEBUI_TRANSPORT=runtime` | runtime (S2 lands the host; S3+ lights the route) | `server/lib/config.js#MCODE_WEBUI_TRANSPORT` (no route reads it yet) |
 | otherwise — factory default is `permissions: "Full access"` (`server/lib/state-bus.js` initial state) | ACP | `mcode-acp.js#runMcodeAcp` |
 
+S2 invariants (must remain true on every later slice):
+
+- **Default `MCODE_WEBUI_TRANSPORT=acp` is field-identical to `main`.** No existing endpoint response may shift; no child process count may grow. The verification suite proves this on every commit by running the full webui node:test suite with no env override.
+- **S2 ships the host but does not wire it.** `createCatalogueHost` and `createTurnHost` are exported from `server/lib/runtime-host.js`; no production route imports them. Wiring happens in S3 (catalogue traffic — list/title), S4 (active turns — `runMcodeRuntime`), S5 (models), S6 (interactions, accounts). S7 flips the default to `runtime`.
+- **R1 mitigation (process-isolation loss) lives in the turn host.** Every call into `adapter.sendMessage` is wrapped so a runtime-side throw becomes a stream-shaped error frame and never escapes the turn. Tests in `packages/webui/test/server/runtime-host.test.js` pin this with a mutation that drops the inner catch — the test goes red if the boundary is removed.
+- **R2 mitigation (abort semantics) lives in `createTurnHost#abortSession`.** It returns `{success:true, elapsedMs}` after at most a 5 s wait for the stream to settle; it does NOT rely on subprocess kill, because there is no subprocess. The bound keeps graceful shutdown responsive even on a wedged runtime.
+- **R8 mitigation (wedged host) lives in `createCatalogueHost#close`.** It races `apiHost.close()` against a 5 s timeout so a wedged dependency chain cannot wedge webui's graceful shutdown.
+
 Contract notes:
 
 - **There is no `/exec` command.** The webui-local command set is `WEBUI_LOCAL_COMMANDS` — `new`, `clear`, `status`, `sessions`, `usage`, `help`, `stop` (`server/lib/acp-client.js`). Transport is never switched by a slash command; the two conditions above are the whole rule.

-两种传输是什么：
+三种传输是什么：
 
 - **ACP**（默认）：与 TUI 相同的协议通道（`mcode acp` 子进程）。工具调用过程、会话标题、思考等级等事件都从这条通道回传。
 - **exec**：一次性 `mcode exec` 命令行子进程。回合结束进程即退出，只有思考与正文文本回传。
+- **runtime**（S2 起提供，路由尚未接入）：进程内 runtime 宿主。它没有子进程边界，与 `mcode` CLI 共用同一份 SQLite；S3-S6 才会逐步把路由接到它上面，S7 才把默认值翻过来。S2 阶段开关设为 `runtime` 仍是 no-op——只是把宿主骨架建好。
 
-谁决定走哪条：
+S2（runtime-first 改造第二步）新增了一个开关与 `MCODE_USE_ACP` 并存：
+
+| 环境变量 | 缺省值 | 可选值 | 含义 |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `MCODE_USE_ACP` | 未设 | `0` → exec 逃生阀（压倒其他所有）；`1` → 无效；未设 → 无效 | 旧开关，仅作逃生阀；见下表。 |
+| `MCODE_WEBUI_TRANSPORT` | `acp` | `acp`（与今天一致）、`exec`（强制走 exec）、`runtime`（S2 起的进程内宿主，开关已 plumb 但路由未接入） | 选择引擎传输。缺省下每个响应都与 `main` 字段级一致；显式 `runtime` 直到 S3+ 才真正生效。 |
+
+判定优先级（按顺序）：
+
+1. `MCODE_USE_ACP=0` ⇒ `exec`，无视 `MCODE_WEBUI_TRANSPORT`。旧逃生阀优先级最高。
+2. `MCODE_WEBUI_TRANSPORT=exec` ⇒ `exec`。权限模式在 `runMcodeAcp` 内部的静默改道仍然生效。
+3. `MCODE_WEBUI_TRANSPORT=runtime` ⇒ `runtime`。S2 已经把宿主骨架建好，但尚无路由读这个开关；S3+ 才会真正接上。S2 阶段设为 `runtime` 是 no-op。
+4. `MCODE_WEBUI_TRANSPORT=acp`（缺省）⇒ ACP。权限模式静默改道仍然生效。
+5. 未知取值（例如拼错）⇒ 回落到 `acp`，并在 stderr 打印一行告警。**永远不会因为传输开关未知而拒绝启动。**
 
 | 条件 | 实际走的传输 | 判定位置 |
 | --- | --- | --- |
 | 服务端环境变量 `MCODE_USE_ACP=0` | exec | `server/routes/chat.js#handleSend` |
+| `MCODE_WEBUI_TRANSPORT=exec` | exec | `server/lib/config.js#MCODE_WEBUI_TRANSPORT` |
 | 会话权限模式不是 Full access（Ask / Auto / Read） | exec（在 ACP 入口内部静默改道） | `server/lib/mcode-acp.js#runMcodeAcp` 首个分支 |
+| `MCODE_WEBUI_TRANSPORT=runtime` | runtime（S2 建好宿主；S3+ 才接路由） | `server/lib/config.js#MCODE_WEBUI_TRANSPORT`（路由尚未读它） |
 | 其余情况（出厂默认：权限 Full access，见 `server/lib/state-bus.js` 初始状态） | ACP | 同上 |
 
-出厂默认权限是 Full access，所以不碰任何开关时所有回合都走 ACP。两个条件若同时成立也不冲突——它们都指向 exec；环境变量先判（`chat.js` 的三元），权限判定只在其后进入 `runMcodeAcp` 时发生。
+S2 不变量（后续切片必须继续守住）：
+
+- **缺省 `MCODE_WEBUI_TRANSPORT=acp` 与 `main` 字段级一致。** 现有任一端点的响应都不能偏移；进程内不能多出新的子进程。每次提交都用完整 webui node:test 套件在无 env 覆盖的情况下跑一遍来验证。
+- **S2 只建骨架、不接线。** `createCatalogueHost` 与 `createTurnHost` 都从 `server/lib/runtime-host.js` 导出，但没有生产路由 import 它们。S3 接目录类流量（list/title），S4 接回合（`runMcodeRuntime`），S5 接模型，S6 接交互与账户。S7 才把缺省翻为 `runtime`。
+- **R1 缓解（进程隔离丧失）落在回合宿主里。** 任何对 `adapter.sendMessage` 的调用都被包在边界内——runtime 侧抛出转为流式 error 帧，**永远不会冒泡出回合**。`packages/webui/test/server/runtime-host.test.js` 用一处删掉内层 try/catch 的变异验证这条边界——边界没了测试就红。
+- **R2 缓解（取消语义）落在 `createTurnHost#abortSession`。** 它在最多 5 秒内等待流归位，然后返回 `{success:true, elapsedMs}`；**不依赖子进程 kill**，因为已经没有子进程。超时上限保证即便 runtime 卡死也不会拖累优雅停机。
+- **R8 缓解（宿主卡死）落在 `createCatalogueHost#close`。** 它把 `apiHost.close()` 与 5 秒超时赛跑——任一依赖链卡死都不会拖累 webui 的优雅停机。

+// In-process runtime host skeleton (S2 of the runtime-first migration).
+// Today the webui server reaches the engine via `mcode acp` child
+// processes (one long-lived singleton, one per turn). S2 lays the
+// foundation to drop that boundary: a process-internal runtime host
+// owns the same SQLite-backed CliService, callable in the same way
+// as the ACP transport, but without spawn cost or per-turn IPC.
+//
+// Two hosts live here, matching design §4.1:
+//
+//   1. catalogue host — long-lived, exposes read-only operations
+//      (listSessions, listModels, getSession, …). One per process;
+//      replacing the `mcode acp` singleton for catalogue traffic.
+//
+//   2. turn host — per-turn, owns sendMessage / abortSession / steer.
+//      Every turn wraps its conversation in this object. Exceptions
+//      thrown by the runtime are caught at the turn boundary and
+//      turned into an error-shaped stream frame, so a runtime-side
+//      crash cannot take down the webui server (R1). `close()` is
+//      fire-and-forget because the turn host owns no resources of its
+//      own — it shares the underlying CliService with the catalogue
+//      host.
+//
+// `MCODE_WEBUI_TRANSPORT` configures whether routes should *use* this
+// host. S2 ships the host but leaves every route on its current
+// transport; the switch is only wired into route handlers in S3+. The
+// default is `acp` (== today). See docs/webui.md "Transport selection"
+// for the full semantics.
+//
+// This file does NOT import server/lib/config.js on purpose: the

+// Tests for the in-process runtime host (S2 of the runtime-first
+// migration). Two hosts live in this module:
+//   - catalogue host: long-lived, exposes listSessions / listModels /
+//     getSession / etc. — the read-only "ACP singleton" replacement.
+//   - turn host: per-turn, wraps sendMessage + abortSession in an
+//     exception boundary, owns no resources.
+//
+// What the suite pins:
+//   1. The full chain works in an isolated tmp dataDir —
+//      createCatalogueHost → adapter.createSession →
+//      adapter.listSessions → close. No mcode child processes
+//      should exist anywhere in this tree (process internalization).
+//   2. The catalogue host close() is bounded; an apiHost.close that
+//      never resolves must NOT keep our close() hanging forever.
+//   3. The turn host exception boundary catches errors thrown by
+//      the adapter and converts them into a turn failure stream,
+//      without taking down the process (other calls keep working).
+//   4. The abort path follows abort → wait-for-stream-termination
+//      → discard. It does NOT depend on a child process kill.
+//
+// The first failure the test surfaces (before any host exists) is
+// a missing module — pinning the contract before the
+// implementation lands is the whole point of TDD here.

Acceptance of d49d919 (S2 R1) flagged three follow-ups. R2 closes them
all without expanding scope.

* docs/webui.md and docs/webui.zh-CN.md: rewrite the MCODE_WEBUI_TRANSPORT
  Turn-condition table so the exec entry reads 'no-op in S2 — same as
  default acp; exec today is reachable only via MCODE_USE_ACP=0', the
  same shape the runtime entry already had. Both languages. The Env-var
  table and the priority rule got the matching correction.

* S2-RH-04 had two real defects that masked each other:
  (a) `assert.ok(abortSeen || true, ...)` was a tautology — verified
      the assertion was checked with an explicit strict-mode test that
      throws when abortSeen is false (mutator #1).
  (b) The 5s upper-bound branch was never activated because the stub
      settled the stream on abort. The new stub hangs forever after
      the first yield — the worst case the bounded drain exists to
      protect against. abortSession must time out at 5s, not return
      quickly. Mutator #3 (drop the 5s race) turns S2-RH-04 red.

* Implementing the fixed test surfaced a real bug: safeSendMessage's
  signal param was undefined when the caller didn't supply one, so
  adapter.sendMessage was called without a signal. createTurnHost now
  owns a per-turn AbortController and safeSendMessage forwards
  turnController.signal when the caller doesn't supply one. abortSession
  also fires turnController.abort() to deliver the signal side of
  the cancellation. Documented inline.

* packages/webui/server/lib/mcode-acp.js: drop engineModelKeyFromId.
  It was defined, mentioned in a doc comment, and NEVER exported or
  called anywhere in the tree (verified by grep). Pure baseline dead
  code — S2 didn't introduce it; the acceptance pass flagged it as
  optional cleanup. Deleting reduces cognitive load without
  behaviour change.

Acceptance:
* pnpm typecheck, pnpm --filter @mavis/webui webapp:typecheck: both 0.
* pnpm --filter @mavis/webui test: 1952/1954 pass (2 baseline skips).
  S2-RH-04 reports ~5400ms every run, proving the bounded-drain
  branch fires on every invocation.
* pnpm check:source: 4715 files.
* pnpm check:tsconfig: 132 package exports match.
* pnpm test:release-tools: 69/70 pass (1 baseline skip).

Mutation verification (3 mutators; all turn the expected test red):
  mutation-1 (drop turn sendMessage inner try/catch) -> S2-RH-03 red.
  mutation-2 (drop catalogue close() bounded race) -> S2-RH-02 red.
  mutation-3 (drop abortSession bounded-drain race) -> S2-RH-04 red.
