BottleSpec.manifest was ManifestIndex | Manifest — a union encoding
two lifecycle stages in one field. The union was unjustifiable:
it forced a type-narrowing workaround (loaded_manifest property)
on every consumer.
Clean split:
- BottleSpec.manifest: ManifestIndex (always; CLI-supplied intent)
- BottlePlan.manifest: Manifest (always; loaded by _validate())
_validate() returns the loaded Manifest directly. prepare() passes
it to _resolve_plan(), which stores it on the plan. All provisioner
code now reads plan.manifest.agent / plan.manifest.bottle — no
union, no asserts, no type: ignore.
BottleSpec.manifest is ManifestIndex | Manifest (pre/post _validate()).
Downstream code always runs post-validate so it needs Manifest, but
pyright flagged every .agent/.bottle access. The new loaded_manifest
property asserts isinstance and returns Manifest, giving pyright a
narrowed type without scattering type: ignore everywhere.
Also remove unused Manifest imports from test files and annotate the
_index() helper in test_manifest_agent_git_user.
Manifest now holds exactly one agent and one effective bottle (with
git_user overlay already applied). The old multi-agent/bottle
collection is renamed ManifestIndex. BottleSpec.manifest starts as
ManifestIndex from the CLI and becomes Manifest after _validate()
calls load_for_agent(); all provisioning code downstream reads
spec.manifest.agent / spec.manifest.bottle instead of indexing by name.
When a label is set (e.g. "bob"), the display becomes "bob (claude-implementer)"
so the agent type is always visible. Affects all three backends (docker,
macos-container, smolmachines) and the `cli.py list active` output.
