Description
src/main.ts still owns the headless-initial-command flow, argument handling, and a large amount of CLI/runtime bridging. That makes non-window startup paths difficult to reason about and keeps CLI behavior coupled to unrelated desktop boot logic. Extract the remaining CLI/headless orchestration into dedicated runtime services so the main entrypoint only decides which startup path to invoke.
Acceptance Criteria
#1 CLI parsing, initial-command dispatch, and headless command execution no longer live as large inline flows in src/main.ts.
#2 The new modules make the desktop startup path and headless startup path visibly separate and easier to test.
#3 Existing CLI behaviors remain unchanged, including help output and startup gating behavior.
#4 Targeted CLI/runtime tests cover the extracted path, and bun run typecheck passes.
Implementation Plan
Map the current parseArgs / handleInitialArgs / runHeadlessInitialCommand / handleCliCommand flow in src/main.ts.
Extract a small startup-path selector plus dedicated runtime services for headless execution and interactive startup dispatch.
Keep Electron app ownership in src/main.ts; move only CLI orchestration and context assembly.
Verify with CLI-focused tests plus bun run typecheck.
Completion Notes
CLI and headless startup wiring now lives behind src/main/runtime/composers/cli-startup-composer.ts, src/main/runtime/cli-command-runtime-handler.ts, src/main/runtime/initial-args-handler.ts, and src/main/runtime/composers/headless-startup-composer.ts.
src/main.ts now passes CLI/context dependencies into those runtime surfaces instead of holding the full orchestration inline.
Verification:
bun test src/main/runtime/composers/cli-startup-composer.test.ts src/main/runtime/initial-args-handler.test.ts src/main/runtime/cli-command-runtime-handler.test.ts
bun run typecheck failed on unrelated existing errors in src/core/services/immersion-tracker/lifetime.ts, src/core/services/immersion-tracker/maintenance.ts, and src/core/services/stats-server.ts
