-| Slim | `--slim` | Uses pre-built bundle, requires prior `gkm build --production` |
+Every image is built inside Docker — `docker build` on a clean checkout is all
+it takes. The context is the build root (the directory holding the lockfile or
+`pnpm-workspace.yaml`, at or above the workspace); `turbo prune` cuts the app's
+slice of it; the image installs it, builds the workspace packages the app
+depends on, and builds the app (`gkm build --provider server --production` for
+a backend, the framework's build for a site). The runner holds `server.mjs`, a
+Next.js standalone server, or a Vite site's files served by Caddy.
 
 **Example:**
 ```bash
-# Generate multi-stage Dockerfile (default, recommended)
+# Generate the Dockerfiles
 gkm docker
 
-# Generate and build image
+# Generate and build the images

-- **npm**: Uses `npm ci` with cache mounts
-- **yarn**: Uses `yarn install --frozen-lockfile`
-- **bun**: Uses `bun install --frozen-lockfile`
+The package manager is detected from the lockfile and pinned to the build
+root's `packageManager` field; turbo is pinned to the version the build root
+resolves. Dependencies install with a BuildKit cache mount for the package

-**Workflow:**
-1. **Sniffs environment variables** - Automatically detects which env vars each app needs
-2. Builds production bundle with `gkm build --provider server --production --stage <stage>`
-3. Encrypts secrets from `.gkm/secrets/<stage>.json` into the bundle
-4. Generates Docker files with `gkm docker`
-5. Builds and pushes Docker image
-6. (Dokploy) Triggers deployment via API with `GKM_MASTER_KEY`
+# AWS, with deploy: { default: 'sst' }: gkm build --provider aws, then sst deploy
+AWS_PROFILE=acme-prod gkm deploy --stage production
 
-**Environment Variable Detection:**
-
-The deploy command automatically detects required environment variables for each app using different strategies based on app configuration:
+# Events for another program
+gkm deploy --stage production --json | jq -c 'select(.type == "app.deployed")'
+```
 
-| App Type | Detection Strategy |
-|----------|-------------------|
-| Frontend apps | Returns empty (no server secrets) |
-| Apps with `requiredEnv` | Uses explicit list from config |
-| Entry-based apps | Imports entry file in subprocess to capture `config.parse()` calls |
-| Route-based apps | Loads routes and calls `getEnvironment()` on each construct |
-| Apps with `envParser` only | Runs SnifferEnvironmentParser to detect usage |
+**What every deploy does:** loads the config and discovers the constructs in a
+sandbox, takes the stage's lock (a second run gets `StateLocked`; a crashed
+run's lock is released with `gkm state:unlock`), checks every credential and
+secret before anything changes, then runs the target's phases
+(`provision`, `build`, `release`, `verify`) and reports each as events.
 
-For route-based apps, the sniffer loads each endpoint/function/cron/subscriber and collects environment variables from:
-- All services attached to the construct (via `service.register()`)
-- Publisher service (if any)
-- Auditor storage service (if any)
-- Database service (if any)
+**Verified, or rolled back (Dokploy).** An app counts as released once Dokploy's deployment has finished and the app has answered its health route 2xx three times in a row (`/health` for a backend, `/` for a site; an app without a domain gets the deployment check only). Backends are released and checked before any site is released, and a failed backend stops the run. Whatever fails is pointed back at the image it ran before. Pending migrations are applied before any app is switched, in the deploy's sandbox, with each database URL handed over as a secret file. Tune the checks with `deploy.dokploy.verify: { deploymentTimeoutMs, healthCheckPath, healthyAfter, intervalMs, healthTimeoutMs }`.
 
-This allows the CLI to validate that all required secrets are configured before deployment, preventing runtime errors from missing environment variables.
+At a terminal a missing Dokploy or registry login is asked for (and the Dokploy one stored). With `--json` or without a terminal nothing is asked: the deploy stops with `MissingCredential` and exits 1.
 
-**Configuration:**
+**From a program:** the same deploy is `deploy()` from `@geekmidas/cli/deploy` — explicit `cwd`, an injected `CredentialProvider`, a logger and an `AbortSignal`; it returns a run you iterate for JSON events, plus a `result` promise. It never prompts, prints or exits.
 
 ```typescript
-// gkm.config.ts
-export default defineConfig({
-  stages: { local: 'dev', deployed: ['prod'] },
-  routes: 'src/endpoints/**/*.ts',
-  envParser: './src/env.ts',
-  logger: './src/logger.ts',
-
-  docker: {
-    registry: 'ghcr.io/myorg',
-    imageName: 'my-api',
-  },
+import { deploy } from '@geekmidas/cli/deploy';
 
-  // For Dokploy deployments
-  providers: {
-    dokploy: {
-      endpoint: 'https://dokploy.example.com',
-      projectId: 'proj_xxx',
-      applicationId: 'app_xxx',
-    },
-  },
-});
+const run = deploy({ cwd: '/srv/shop', stage: 'production', signal });
+for await (const event of run) console.log(event.type);
+const result = await run.result;
 ```
 
+The project's own code — loading `gkm.config.ts`, discovering constructs, sniffing each app's environment, running migrations — runs in a `Sandbox`, never in the host process and never with the deploy's credentials. The default `LocalSandbox` is a child process with an allowlisted environment and a timeout per step; a host building repositories it does not trust passes its own isolating one (`sandbox`), and a config holding live objects then fails with `ConfigObjectNotSerializable`.
+
+**Writing a target:** `defineTarget` from `@geekmidas/cli/target`, with the package's runtime declared in its `package.json` (`"gkm": { "runtime": "server" }`).
+
 **Environment Variables:**
 - `DOKPLOY_API_TOKEN`: API token for Dokploy (not needed if logged in via `gkm login`)
-- `GKM_MASTER_KEY`: Automatically set by Dokploy, or manually for Docker deployments
+- `DOKPLOY_ENDPOINT`: Dokploy URL, if neither the stored login nor `deploy.dokploy.endpoint` gives one
+- `DOCKER_REGISTRY_USERNAME` / `DOCKER_REGISTRY_PASSWORD`: a registry login, used only when Dokploy has no registry for `deploy.registry` and one has to be created
+- `AWS_PROFILE`, or `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` / `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` / `AWS_SESSION_TOKEN`: the `sst` target's AWS credentials, handed to `sst deploy` only (the profile wins when both are set)
+- `GKM_HOME`: where stage keys and stored logins live (default `~/.gkm`)
+- `GKM_MASTER_KEY`: set in each container's runtime environment by the deploy; for an image you run yourself, from `.gkm/server/master.key`, which `gkm build --stage` writes (the key is never printed; output shows its fingerprint)

 ### Build Manifest
 
-The CLI generates TypeScript manifests with full type information in the `.gkm/manifest/` directory. These manifests export both the data and derived types for type-safe usage.
+The manifest is the application's, not an app's: the root `gkm build` builds
+every backend and writes it once, to `.gkm/manifest/aws.ts` or
+`.gkm/manifest/server.ts` at the workspace root. An app's own build writes no
+manifest. Every handler path in it is relative to the workspace root. `gkm init`
+adds a root tsconfig alias for the manifest, `@<project>/manifest`.
 
-#### AWS Manifest (`.gkm/manifest/aws.ts`)
+It exports two values — every declared construct keyed by id, and the backends
+the build resolved — and the types derived from them:
 
 ```typescript
-export const manifest = {
-  routes: [
-    {
-      path: '/users',
-      method: 'GET',
-      handler: '.gkm/aws-apigatewayv1/getUsers.handler',
-      authorizer: 'jwt',
-    },
-    {
-      path: '/users',
-      method: 'POST',

-When routes are partitioned, the manifest groups them by partition name and generates partition-aware types:
+A `RestApi` carries its endpoints, each with its method, path, handler, the
+dependencies it declared and its authorizer. On AWS the handler is the
+endpoint's own Lambda (`apps/api/.gkm/aws/routes/<export>.handler`); in the
+server manifest every endpoint's handler is the app entry
+(`apps/api/.gkm/server/app.ts`). Functions and crons are top-level
+declarations; a queue's worker and a topic's subscribers are nested in the
+queue or topic.
 
-```typescript
-export const manifest = {
-  routes: {
-    "admin": [{ path: '/admin/users', method: 'GET', handler: '...', authorizer: 'jwt' }],
-    "default": [{ path: '/users', method: 'GET', handler: '...', authorizer: 'jwt' }],
-  },
-  functions: [...], // flat if not partitioned
-} as const;
+#### Using the Manifest
 
-// Partition-aware derived types
-export type RoutePartition = keyof typeof manifest.routes;
-export type Route<P extends RoutePartition = RoutePartition> =
-  (typeof manifest.routes)[P][number];
-```
-
-#### Server Manifest (`.gkm/manifest/server.ts`)
+On AWS, `fromManifest` from `@geekmidas/cloud/sst` provisions all of it —
+resources, each API's endpoints, queue consumers, functions and crons:
 
 ```typescript
-export const manifest = {
-  app: {
-    handler: '.gkm/server/app.ts',
-    endpoints: '.gkm/server/endpoints.ts',
-  },
-  routes: [
-    { path: '/users', method: 'GET', authorizer: 'jwt' },
-    { path: '/users', method: 'POST', authorizer: 'jwt' },
-  ],
-  subscribers: [
-    { name: 'orderHandler', subscribedEvents: ['order.created'] },
-  ],
-} as const;
+// sst.config.ts
+const { App, fromManifest, Stack } = await import('@geekmidas/cloud/sst');
+const { backends, constructs } = await import('./.gkm/manifest/aws.js');
 
-// Derived types
-export type Route = (typeof manifest.routes)[number];
-export type Subscriber = (typeof manifest.subscribers)[number];
-
-// Useful union types
-export type Authorizer = Route['authorizer'];
-export type HttpMethod = Route['method'];
-export type RoutePath = Route['path'];
+fromManifest(new Stack(app, 'Shop'), constructs, { Database: { vpc } }, backends);
 ```
 
-#### Using Manifest Types
-
-Import the manifest types for type-safe infrastructure configuration:
+The types narrow to what was declared:
 
 ```typescript
-import { manifest, type Route, type Authorizer } from './.gkm/manifest/aws';
+import { constructs, type Construct, type Surfaces } from './.gkm/manifest/aws';
 
-// Type-safe route iteration
-for (const route of manifest.routes) {
-  console.log(`${route.method} ${route.path} -> ${route.handler}`);
-}
+const api: Construct<'Api'> = constructs.Api;
 
-// Use union types for validation
-function isValidMethod(method: string): method is HttpMethod {
-  return manifest.routes.some((r) => r.method === method);
+for (const endpoint of api.endpoints) {
+  console.log(`${endpoint.method} ${endpoint.path} -> ${endpoint.handler}`);
 }
 
-// Access authorizer names
-const authorizers = new Set(manifest.routes.map((r) => r.authorizer));
+const surface: Surfaces = 'Api'; // any other id is a type error
