- `build:watch` builds immediately, then watches the CLI, UI, shared sources, build configuration, and packaged files. Saves are coalesced and builds run one at a time. Both apps and the package files are prepared in a temporary directory before replacing the distribution; a failed build leaves the last successful output in place. The next linked CLI invocation uses the updated build.
51
-
52
- The watcher does not start or restart your daemon. After a successful build, run `vo daemon restart`, then `vo ui` to open the updated UI. Restarting preserves registered documents and saved answers, but changes the UI address and invalidates earlier browser sessions and interactive HTML permissions. Stop the watcher with Ctrl+C; it stops an active build and removes its temporary output.
53
-
54
- For frequent UI changes, use `pnpm dev` instead. It runs the source daemon with a separate `.dev-home` and serves the UI through Vite HMR. It does not rebuild the linked CLI or automatically restart the backend when its source changes.

106
- - Scripts run only in HTML opened with `--html-mode interactive`. Scripts can load only registered files and cannot reach the management UI, the management API, or other files. This does not block every outbound request, including navigation inside the view. Use it only with HTML that you or the agent prepared and trust. After the daemon restarts, the HTML shows as a static view until you allow scripts again in the management UI.
107
