ProtectedapplyAll

• applyAll(
      entries: readonly [string, unknown][],
      scope: PreferenceScope,
  ): Promise<void>

  Applies a batch of CLI-provided preferences sequentially. A rejection from an individual write (bad key, invalid scope, etc.) is logged and does not abort the remaining writes, and it is not left as an unhandled promise rejection.

  Parameters

  • entries: readonly [string, unknown][]
  • scope: PreferenceScope

  Returns Promise<void>

ProtectedapplyCliPreferences

• applyCliPreferences(): Promise<void>

  Returns Promise<void>

ProtectedmergeEntries

• mergeEntries(
      base: readonly [string, unknown][],
      overrides: readonly [string, unknown][],
  ): [string, unknown][]

  Overlays overrides onto base, later entries winning per key while preserving order (base first).

  Parameters

  • base: readonly [string, unknown][]
  • overrides: readonly [string, unknown][]

  Returns [string, unknown][]

ProtectedresolveCliPreferences

• resolveCliPreferences(): Promise<
      { persistent: [string, unknown][]; session: [string, unknown][] },
  >

  Resolves the CLI-provided preferences to apply to this window.

  The shared backend reflects the original cold-start launch (it cannot distinguish between windows), so it supplies the process-wide CLI preferences. A forwarded (second-instance) window additionally carries its own options, provided by the trusted main process, and layers them on top, overriding by key. Merging (rather than replacing) means a plain second-instance window keeps the process-wide values instead of dropping them, while an attach window still gets its own overrides.

  Returns Promise<{ persistent: [string, unknown][]; session: [string, unknown][] }>
