When coordinated Nuplane reconciliation refreshes the CShells catalog, catalog reads must wait until Nuplane has loaded the protected package graphs and released root/state ownership. The adapter now uses the awaited post-loading callback for that route, while preserving ordinary reconciliation refresh/reload behavior.

A real collectible feature regression holds an old shell scope across removal and replacement: the draining generation keeps resolving its existing feature, the new generation omits it, and the context becomes collectible after drain/disposal. Nuplane remains responsible for package-path protection. The release pins Nuplane0.0.12 and advances the CShells family to0.0.31, including CShells.Nuplane.

Validation: root source/diff review found no actionable issue. Previous source-overlay adapter tests passed49/49 and changed adapter builds passed.NET8/9/10; these are preliminary evidence. Final public-package restore, full Release solution build and test are supplied by this PR's exact-head CI after Nuplane0.0.12 publication. No pruning is enabled by default. Copilot and Greptile are waived by Sipke; independent/root review applies. Release/public archive audits and fresh package-only.NET8/9/10 integration remain program gates after merge.

Fixes #213

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Improvements
  • Package-driven shell refreshes now occur after package loading completes, helping ensure changes are applied at the right time.
  • When a package is removed, existing shell sessions can continue using its features until their active work ends; replacement shells no longer include the removed features.
  • Failed refreshes can be retried during a later eligible package update.

📝 Walkthrough

The Nuplane adapter now processes refresh work after package loading completes. Package versions are updated, and integration tests cover refresh retries and feature-assembly retention while a shell drains.

Changes: Nuplane refresh and shell lifetime

Post-loading refresh coordination Directory.Packages.props, src/Directory.Build.props, src/CShells.Nuplane/Internal/NuplaneRefreshCoordinator.cs, src/CShells.Nuplane/NuplaneFeatureAssemblyProvider.cs, src/CShells.Nuplane/README.md, tests/CShells.Tests/Integration/Nuplane/NuplaneCompositionTests.cs, tests/CShells.Tests/Integration/Nuplane/NuplaneRefreshCoordinatorTests.cs	The coordinator implements IPostLoadingNuplaneObserver. Borrowed-operation callbacks do no work; post-loading completion and ordinary reconciliation use shared refresh processing. Package versions and documentation are updated. Tests cover callback timing, retry after refresh failure, and observer composition.
Retained feature assemblies during shell draining tests/CShells.DynamicFeatureFixture/DynamicFeature.cs, tests/CShells.Tests/Integration/Nuplane/NuplaneRefreshCoordinatorTests.cs, src/CShells.Nuplane/README.md	The fixture registers a marker service. Integration coverage verifies that a draining shell’s open scope retains access to the feature until disposal, after which its collectible load context can be collected. The README describes the related lifetime behavior.

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 545d6

The coordinated loading path still lacks an end-to-end test. Add one to reduce integration risk; no production failure has been demonstrated.

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 545d6

The adapter preserves its existing refresh, retry and shell-retention behavior while deferring coordinated catalog access until loading completes. No introduced security vulnerability was established. Remaining uncertainty concerns the external package loader’s ordering and lifetime guarantees.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — Within an opted-in host, package completions can affect the shared feature catalog and, when automatic reload is enabled, the active shell registry rather than only one requesting scope. This scope already existed at the base; the PR changes the coordinated execution point.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — No new attacker-controlled input path or authority expansion was established in the adapter change. The existing path remains Nuplane package-catalog assemblies to feature discovery, followed by optional shell reload. Package admission and loading controls remain outside the inspected consumer implementation.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The adapter avoids catalog access in callbacks carrying borrowed package-store ownership. Its safety contract depends on Nuplane delivering post-loading completion after protected loading and lock release. The new test proves consumer routing and retry behavior by direct invocation, not producer ordering.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Shell-generation references and package retirement have distinct owners. The adapter contributes no protective lifetime lease; documentation assigns package paths and graph-use lifetime to Nuplane and package retirement/unload to the managing host/runtime. External lifetime guarantees remain unverified.

234-237: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Exercise Nuplane’s coordinated dispatch in this integration test.

The test directly invokes callbacks with null! borrows and then calls IPostLoadingNuplaneObserver.OnPackageLoadingCompletedAsync. These calls test coordinator state, but they do not test that Nuplane invokes the post-loading callback after graph loading and lock release.

Drive a coordinated Nuplane package operation and assert caller-observable catalog or shell behavior. Keep direct callback and counter checks in a lower-level coordinator test.

[Codex] Exact-head qualification passed at 545d6e5a6cfc99d071de40bb8fffa5df1cfdc75f: CI38841940885 restored public Nuplane0.0.12 packages, built all ten production packages for.NET8/9/10, and passed813 unit/integration plus31 end-to-end tests (844 total, zero failures/skips). Build/test reported zero warnings/errors. Root reviewed all nine changed files and the full diff; no actionable production finding remains.

CodeRabbit's advisory observation is accurate: the direct-callback test proves adapter routing/retry, not the producer's lock-release/loading order. I am retaining that focused test. Nuplane's qualified producer tests cover its dispatch boundary, and this program additionally requires the prepared real directory-feed/coordinated pruning + shell drain package-only consumer on.NET8/9/10 after stable publication; direct callback assertions are not being represented as that end-to-end proof. No extra duplicate producer harness is added to CShells in this change.

Nuplane0.0.12's stable publisher succeeded and all eight public NuGet/Feedz package archives are now provenance accepted against the workflow artifact and exact merged source 80f74d02. Sipke explicitly authorized personal-account end-to-end publication and independent self-review; Copilot/Greptile are omitted. Proceeding with normal organization-branch merge, then CShells0.0.31 release and all-ten public archive audits. Stable consumer and Foundation adoption remain pending.
