-### appshell generate
+These global options apply to every command:
+
+| Option | Default | Purpose |
+| ------ | ------- | ------- |
+| `-r, --registry` | `http://localhost:7070` | Registry to operate against |
+| `-a, --application` | — | Application, as `name` or `scope/name` |
+| `--scopeId` | `default` | Scope owning unqualified packages and applications |
+| `-k, --apiKey` | `""` | Api key, when the registry expects one |
+| `-v, --verbose` | `false` | Verbose output |
+
+`--registry` and `--application` fall back to `APPSHELL_REGISTRY` /
+`APPSHELL_APPLICATION`, then to `~/.appshell/config`. Set them once instead of
+passing them every time:
 
 ```bash
-appshell generate [target]
+appshell config set registry http://localhost:7070
+appshell config set application storefront
+appshell config list
+```
 
-Generates a resource
+## Vocabulary
 
-Commands:
-  appshell generate manifest  Generate the appshell manifest by processing the template specified by --template
-  appshell generate env       Generate the runtime environment js file that reflects the current process.env
-  appshell generate global-config     Generate the global appshell configuration file by merging sources specifed by --registry options
-  appshell generate metadata  Generate the appshell metadata file by merging sources specifed by --registry options
+| Term | Identity | What it is |
+| ---- | -------- | ---------- |
+| **Scope** | `acme` | Namespace and permission boundary |
+| **Package** | `acme/checkout@1.5.0` | What you publish. Immutable, digest-addressed |
+| **Application** | `acme/storefront` | The composition the registry serves |
+| **Remote** | `PingModule/Ping` | What the browser loads, over Module Federation |
+
+## Authenticating
+
+```bash
+appshell login                       # device flow against the configured issuer
+appshell login --clientSecret ...    # client credentials, for CI
+appshell logout
 ```
 
-## Generate manifest
+The token is stored per registry. A registry running `AUTH_MODE=none` needs none —
+commands only fail when the registry says so, and a 401 tells you to log in.
+`APPSHELL_TOKEN` overrides the stored credential.
+
+## Publishing a package
+
+```bash
+appshell publish --template dist/appshell.template.json
+```
+
+Publishing is idempotent: the same content under the same version is a no-op.
+Different content under an existing version is rejected unless the registry allows
+forcing. When `--application` resolves, publish also **activates** the version there.
+
+| Option | When omitted | Purpose |
+| ------ | ------------ | ------- |
+| `-t, --template` | `appshell.template.json` | Template to process |
+| `--name` | the unscoped `package.json` name | Package name |
+| `--package-version` | the `package.json` version | Version to publish as |
+| `--visibility` | the registry defaults to `private` | Whether other scopes may activate it |
+| `-w, --watch` | `false` | Republish whenever the template changes |
+
+```bash
+appshell unpublish checkout 1.5.0
+```
+
+## Declaring an application
+
+`appshell app apply` reconciles an application against a declared resource, creating
+it when absent. It is the declarative counterpart to `app create` plus `publish
+--application`, and the same file works against any registry via `--registry`.
+
+**appshell.app.yaml**
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: registry.appshell.org/v1
+kind: Application
+name: storefront
+spec:
+  shell:
+    root: ContainerModule/Container
+    title: Storefront
+  packages:
+    - acme/checkout@1.5.0
+    - acme/cart@2.0.1
+```
 
-Generates the appshell global runtime manifest.
+```bash
+appshell app apply -f appshell.app.yaml
+```
+
+`spec.packages` is the **full desired set** — anything activated but absent from it is
+deactivated, and the command prints what moved:
+
+```
+Updated acme/storefront
+  activated acme/cart@2.0.1
+  deactivated acme/search
+```
+
+Omit `spec.packages` entirely and package state is left alone, which is what you want
+locally where the webpack plugin already publishes and activates on every build.
+`${VAR}` placeholders expand from the environment exactly as they do in
+`appshell.config.yaml`.
+
+## Inspecting an application
 
 ```bash
-appshell generate manifest
+appshell app list                     # every application in the scope
+appshell app get storefront           # packages, revision, visibility
+appshell app composition storefront   # the resolved payload the shell receives
+appshell app revisions storefront     # revision history
+appshell app rollback storefront --to 3
+appshell app open storefront          # print the shell url
+```
 
-Generate the appshell global runtime manifest
+Every mutation produces a revision, so `revisions` is the audit trail and `rollback`
+is how you undo one.

-      --help        Show help                                           [boolean]
-      --version     Show version number                                 [boolean]
-  -t, --template  Path to the appshell config template to process     [string] [default: "appshell.template.json"]
-  -o, --outDir      Output location for the appshell manifest           [string] [default: "dist"]
-  -f, --outFile     Output filename for the appshell manifest           [string] [default: "appshell.manifest.json"]
+```bash
+appshell app create storefront        # imperative equivalent of a bare apply
+appshell app delete storefront
+appshell app deactivate acme/checkout
+appshell app clone --from prod --to my-sandbox
+appshell app sync --from prod --to staging --include packages
 ```
 
-### Sample usage
+## Developing against a deployed application
+
+`appshell dev` opens an **overlay**: a per-developer, per-browser redirect that points
+some of an application's remotes at your machine. It is resolved per request, expires
+on its own, and never reaches the application's composition or its revision history.
+
+```bash
+appshell dev --port 3002          # redirect this package's remotes at localhost:3002
+appshell dev status               # what is open on the application
+appshell dev stop --package       # stop redirecting just this package
+appshell dev stop <id>            # close one, or --all
+```
+
+An overlay can only redirect remote keys the application already publishes — adding
+one outright would be a way to run code the application was never composed with. For a
+new package, publish and activate it first, or work in a clone.
+
+`--shell dev` additionally serves the development shell build, which is what supports
+hot reloading remotes in place.
+
+## Analyzing shared dependencies
+
+```bash
+appshell outdated
+```
+
+Compares this package's dependencies against the shared-dependency baselines the
+application declares, and reports conflicts, missing entries and matches.
+
+## Generate manifest
+
+Processes a template into an appshell manifest. `appshell publish` does this for you;
+run it directly when you want the manifest as a build artifact.
 
 ```bash
 appshell generate manifest --template dist/appshell.template.json
 ```
 
-**Where does the content of APPSHELL_REGISTRY come from?**

+| `-f, --outFile` | `appshell.manifest.json` | Output filename |
 
-> Each micro-frontend configured to use [@appshell/webpack-plugin](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@appshell/webpack-plugin) emits a manifest template, which is subsequently used to generate a manifest for the remote module. This manifest is then registered with the APPSHELL_REGISTRY.
