Silo

Interface: ProcessSpawnOptions ​

Defined in: packages/sdk/src/process-service.ts:14

Options for spawning a process session. Today sessions are shell PTYs, so cwd is required (the webview has no ambient working directory).

Properties ​

cwd ​

ts
cwd: string;

Defined in: packages/sdk/src/process-service.ts:21

Working directory the session starts in. Must resolve inside the open workspace unless the extension declared the process Permission (first-party extensions are unscoped); otherwise throws PathDeniedError.

cols? ​

ts
optional cols?: number;

Defined in: packages/sdk/src/process-service.ts:23

Initial column count.

rows? ​

ts
optional rows?: number;

Defined in: packages/sdk/src/process-service.ts:25

Initial row count.

env? ​

ts
optional env?: Record<string, string>;

Defined in: packages/sdk/src/process-service.ts:38

Extra environment variables, merged over the session's inherited environment. Use it for things a long-lived shell needs from the start — NO_COLOR, a locale, a tool's config directory — without clobbering PATH.

Keys beginning SILO_ (and the bare SILO) are reserved by the host and are dropped: Silo stamps its own terminal identity there, and a guard keyed on a value any caller could write would be no guard at all. Dropped keys are logged to the Extension Host output channel.
