A stack can now ship <name>.env and <name>.sh next to its compose files. The
hook is sourced with the tag helpers available, which is what the computing
.mk files of the catalogue were using make for: 29 of its 44 .mk files only
exist to build variables like the fabio tags.
Converting stack/host/fabio.mk by hand gives byte-identical output for the
route tag, and drops a trailing comma the make version left in the listener
list.
Also: APP_HOST and APP_URI are computed (the tag helpers build on them),
--color controls the escape codes rather than always emitting them, and
make test-portability runs the CLI under busybox ash and dash.
The skill documents how to use myos: what to check before touching a host
stack, how a reference resolves, what the three kinds of stack mean, and where
each failure comes from. Every command it shows was run against the fixtures
before being written down, which is how exec, run and scale turned out to be
missing.
AGENTS.md covers the other side: how to change myos without breaking the
deployments that already run it.
holcommon's empty .env made the loader evaluate one blank line, which
tripped set -u. Verified afterwards on holcommon's real host stack: the CLI
and the make engine resolve the same five files and render a byte-identical
241-line compose config.
Both engines now go through the same 68 cases. 31 produce byte-identical
output; the rest have a recorded CLI expectation and a reason in DELTAS.md,
the bulk of it being that the CLI does not shell out to a recursive make and
calls compose once per project.
Fixed while comparing: the CLI was missing the COMPOSE_FILE_* defaults, so
overlays such as supabase.labels.yml would not have been loaded at all.
A stack is a directory of compose files; the current directory is a stack when
it holds one. The same command works for a project, a catalogue stack, a group
and a host singleton, and stacks sharing a project are now a single compose
call.
Two traps of the make engine are closed on the way: an unknown command is an
error instead of a silent success, and a group is only expanded when its name
is lowercase, so an environment variable can no longer be mistaken for one.
That guard spells out its character class because a-z matches uppercase too
under a dictionary collation.
