## Motivation and Context
Plugins technically exist, but to add shortcuts or to do existing things
with functions in `container` requires calling a compiled binary. This
pull request aims to remove that hurdle and instability by exposing
commands as a new `ContainerCommands ` target.
Simply import `ContainerCommands` and you can access almost
any command as if it were a native part of the binary. This makes
plugin development significantly easier.
Closes#609.
- Sets up API server as source of truth for installation root, similarly
to what was done for the data root. `system start` establishes the
install root, setting the environment variable `CONTAINER_INSTALL_ROOT`
when launching the API server.
- The API server propagates the environment variable when launching
helpers, and returns the install root to the CLI via the health check
XPC.
- Includes several fixes for detecting plugins that use app bundle
layout.
Container services can be started and stopped using the `system start`
and `system stop` commands. But there is no straightforward way for
users to check if the services were already started.
This PR adds a new `system status` command that shows wether the
container services are running or not.
The command only checks the status of the apiserver for now, but it
could be expanded in the future to show more details.
Fixes#117.
