The developer-facing product includes application startup APIs, scaffolding, package configuration, inspection commands, development serving, production builds, and test orchestration. HTTP integrations add VineJS request validation and Edge rendering to dependency-provided request and routing APIs. Security utilities include configurable hash and encryption drivers and verification-token helpers. Generated declarations connect server routes and transformers to application type checking. This catalog reflects the inspected public surfaces, not exhaustive dependency behavior.

• serve supports watch, HMR, polling, and terminal clearing; it rejects simultaneous watch and HMR and delegates startup to assembler.DevServer.
  commands/serve.ts#L124-145commands/serve.ts#L169-176
• build delegates production compilation to assembler.Bundler with RC hooks and meta files, optional tsconfig and package manager, and an ignore-ts-errors switch.
  commands/build.ts#L91-126
• codegen refreshes generated indexes and route declarations through assembler.CodeGen and warms the app in the web environment without starting an HTTP listener.
  commands/codegen.ts#L80-103commands/codegen.ts#L109-133
• test exposes suite, file, tag, group, title, reporter, timeout, retry, failed-test, watch, and polling controls, then passes these to assembler.TestRunner.
  commands/test.ts#L200-226commands/test.ts#L250-256
• add installs multiple packages before configuring them sequentially, recognizes vinejs and edge shorthand names, and reports partial configuration failures; configure supports built-in VineJS, Edge, and health_checks setup plus package-exported hooks.
  commands/add.ts#L87-95commands/add.ts#L119-169commands/configure.ts#L161-205
• list:routes offers keyword and middleware filters, ANSI list/table, JSON, and JSONL output; AI-agent mode defaults to JSONL unless JSON or table is explicitly requested. inspect:rcfile prints resolved RC settings with module entries stringified.
  commands/list/routes.ts#L103-150commands/inspect_rcfile.ts#L39-64
• generate:key creates a 32-character APP_KEY, normally writes outside production, honors force, and lets show override writing; env:add prompts for values and adds a normalized variable plus its validation schema.
  commands/generate_key.ts#L52-70commands/env/add.ts#L96-160
• make:controller supports custom actions, resource/API variants, singular naming, force, and contents-from. make:validator, make:view, and make:transformer also generate entities through configurable stubs.
  commands/make/controller.ts#L106-159commands/make/validator.ts#L96-111commands/make/view.ts#L65-80commands/make/transformer.ts#L75-92
• make:command, make:service, make:event, and make:exception each pass parsed flags and an application-generated entity into Codemods.makeUsingStub, with overwrite and replacement-content options.
  commands/make/command.ts#L66-81commands/make/service.ts#L66-81commands/make/event.ts#L74-89commands/make/exception.ts#L74-89
• make:listener can create its associated event first; make:middleware generates and registers middleware in server/router/named stacks; make:preload and make:provider optionally register environment-scoped RC entries.
  commands/make/listener.ts#L94-123commands/make/middleware.ts#L78-105commands/make/preload.ts#L148-159commands/make/provider.ts#L146-157
• make:test selects a configured suite and destination directory; eject copies package scaffolding templates into the application for customization.
  commands/make/test.ts#L140-172commands/eject.ts#L57-65
• repl boots the application and stays alive until REPL exit; its provider adds importDefault, importAll, make, service-loading helpers, and persistent history.
  commands/repl.ts#L40-55providers/repl_provider.ts#L79-85providers/repl_provider.ts#L102-134providers/repl_provider.ts#L136-193
• Edge integration mounts application views, enables production caching, supplies route/config/query helpers, creates request-scoped renderers, and adds BriskRoute.render.
  providers/edge_provider.ts#L128-168providers/edge_provider.ts#L212-234
• VineJS integration provides request.validateUsing, request.tryValidateUsing, and vine.file; multipart validation applies size/extension options and reports bodyparser file errors.
  providers/vinejs_provider.ts#L67-86src/vine.ts#L40-84
• Additional public APIs include Argon2/bcrypt/scrypt configuration, five encryption driver factories including v6 Legacy compatibility, verification tokens, HTML/ANSI dumping, synthetic HTTP contexts, and re-exported health and transformer primitives.
