I'll systematically explore the Spotlight repository to understand the run command architecture. Let me start with a broad overview and then drill into specifics.

Good, I can see the structure. Let me read the key files starting with the package.json for bin entries, the CLI entry point, and the run command implementation.

Now let me read the supporting files - the other CLI commands, the docker-compose utilities, the help system, constants, types, and the tail command that run delegates to:

Now let me look at the docker-compose detection utilities, the extras (for URL construction and browser opening), and the CLI types:

Now let me check the e2e test helpers, the instrument/sentry config, and the root package.json for workspace structure:

Let me also check the shared test utilities for the bin path resolution, and the vite build config to understand how dist/run.js is produced:

I now have a comprehensive understanding of the Spotlight run command. Here is my full analysis.

Spotlight run Command -- Complete Architecture Analysis

1. Package Structure & Distribution

Monorepo layout (pnpm workspaces):

/home/byk/Code/getsentry/spotlight/
├── packages/
│   ├── spotlight/    # Main package: @spotlightjs/spotlight (CLI + server + UI + Electron)
│   └── website/      # Documentation website
├── pnpm-workspace.yaml
└── package.json      # Root workspace config

Key package files:

• /home/byk/Code/getsentry/spotlight/packages/spotlight/package.json -- The single published package @spotlightjs/spotlight v4.11.0
• /home/byk/Code/getsentry/spotlight/pnpm-workspace.yaml -- Workspace definition with shared dependency catalog

Binary entry point (from package.json "bin" field):

"bin": {
  "spotlight": "./dist/run.js"
}

So npx @spotlightjs/spotlight or a global install gives the user the spotlight command, which runs dist/run.js.

Build pipeline:

• /home/byk/Code/getsentry/spotlight/packages/spotlight/vite.node.config.ts -- Vite builds src/run.ts into dist/run.js (with a #!/usr/bin/env node shebang injected via a custom Vite plugin). Also builds server/main.js (library export) and server/sdk.js.
• The UI is built separately (vite.ui.config.ts) and then bundled into a Single Executable Application (SEA) via fossilize.
• Electron build is separate.

2. CLI Entry Point & Boot Sequence

Boot chain:

1. dist/run.js (source: /home/byk/Code/getsentry/spotlight/packages/spotlight/src/run.ts)
2. Imports ./instrument.ts (Sentry self-instrumentation with feedback-loop detection)
3. Reads UI assets from either the SEA blob (node:sea) or from dist/ui/ on disk
4. Calls main() from ./server/cli.ts with the asset map

Relevant files:

• /home/byk/Code/getsentry/spotlight/packages/spotlight/src/run.ts -- Boot/entry, asset loading, calls main()
• ...
