🍪 biscuit: ✅ ready to merge — auto-review, non-blocking
This is a well-executed feature addition. I read through the full stack — schema changes, config parsing, spec building, the containerd layer, and the tests — and I'm satisfied the mechanics are correct.
What it does: Adds an args field to [services.*] in app.toml that maps to OCI's exec-form argv array, replacing the image's CMD while leaving its ENTRYPOINT intact. This is distinct from the existing command field, which runs inside /bin/sh -c and always replaces both.
Key decisions I looked at carefully:
appspec.Build(around line 320) picksargsovercommandand, crucially, does not prependcfgSpec.Entrypointto the args path — becauseoci.WithImageConfigArgspreserves the OCI image's own ENTRYPOINT at the containerd layer, while the shell-formcommandpath needed the CNB launcher prefix to be runnable. That distinction is correct and important.buildServicesConfiginservers/build/build.go(line 582) marks a service as "claimed" whenv.Args != nil, so a same-named Procfile entry can't silently replace an args-only service. Good defensive call.- The mutual exclusion between
commandandargsis enforced inappconfig.Validatewith a clear error message. - The
sandbox_frozen_test.gohash is updated with a proper audit comment explaining why the saga path doesn't need a parallel edit (it reachesbuildSubContainerSpecthroughsandboxOps.BootContainers).
Test coverage: Strong at every layer — appconfig_test.go for parsing and validation, appspec_test.go for the spec-build semantics (including that an explicit opts.Command override wins over service Args), and a blackbox integration test that specifically verifies the dollar-sign-no-expansion and multi-word argument-boundary behavior that would regress most obviously.
One observation, not a blocker: The validation guard at appconfig.go:436 reads:
if svcConfig.Args != nil {
if len(svcConfig.Args) == 0 { ... }
}The outer != nil check is redundant in practice — TOML decodes args = [] as an empty non-nil slice, so the nil path is unreachable via config. The inner check therefore fires correctly in all real cases. It's not a correctness bug and the test for "rejects an empty list" covers it.
This is a draft, but the substance is ready to graduate to human review. The implementation is complete, the edge cases are tested, and the documentation changes are present.

🍪 biscuit:
The PR has a human approval from @evanphx and the implementation is correct for the happy path. I'll note the mergeable: false status — there's a merge conflict with main that needs resolving, but that's a process step, not a code problem.
One real correctness issue surfaced since my first review, flagged by CodeRabbit and confirmed by reading the code: migrateConsoleService silently drops args when it converts a legacy [services.console] block to a [tasks.console] task. At build.go:323–327:
ac.Tasks[appconfig.ConsoleName] = &appconfig.TaskConfig{
Command: svc.Command, // empty when only args was set
Trigger: appconfig.TriggerManual,
EnvVars: svc.EnvVars,
// Args never transferred — TaskConfig has no Args field
}If someone writes [services.console] args = ["rails", "c"], the migrated console task has an empty command and fails silently at runtime. TaskConfig intentionally has no Args field (tasks are always shell-form by design), so the right fix is to reject args on [services.console] in appconfig.Validate with a clear error pointing at the deprecation — something like "service console: args is not supported on the deprecated [services.console]; use [tasks.console] with a command instead".
This path is narrow (the deprecated [services.console] config plus the new args field together), but the failure mode is a silently broken console that looked like it deployed fine. Worth a one-liner guard before merge.
Everything else I checked in my previous review stands. The schema threading, the buildServicesConfig claim-on-args fix, the mutual exclusion validation, the sandbox spec encoding, and the integration test coverage are all solid.

servers/build/build.go:324
migrateConsoleService copies svc.Command and svc.EnvVars but not svc.Args. Since TaskConfig has no Args field, a user who writes [services.console] args = ["rails", "c"] will get a silently broken console task with an empty command.
The cleanest fix is to reject args on the console service in appconfig.Validate before the migration runs. Adding a guard like:
if serviceName == appconfig.ConsoleName && svcConfig.Args != nil {
return &ValidationError{
KeyPath: svcPrefix + ".args",
Message: "service console: args is not supported on the deprecated [services.console]; use [tasks.console] with a command string instead",
}
}This catches it at config-parse time with a clear message rather than silently misconfiguring the task at build time.

In servers/build/build.go around lines 323-327,
migrateConsoleService transfers svc.Command and
svc.EnvVars to the new TaskConfig but silently
drops svc.Args. TaskConfig has no Args field, so
if a user writes `[services.console] args = [...]`
the migrated task has an empty Command and fails
silently at runtime.
Fix this in appconfig/appconfig.go inside
Validate(), within the service-validation loop.
After the existing `if svcConfig.Args != nil`
block (around line 436), add a check that rejects
args on a service named appconfig.ConsoleName with
a clear validation error, e.g. 'service console:
args is not supported on the deprecated
[services.console]; use [tasks.console] with a
command string instead'. Add a test in
appconfig_test.go that parses a config with
`[services.console] args = ["rails", "c"]` and
asserts the error contains that message.

🍪 biscuit:
I re-read the current head carefully. The merge conflict is resolved, the PR is mergeable, and the general structure of the feature is solid — schema threading, buildServicesConfig claiming services on Args != nil, the mutual-exclusion validation, and the blackbox test coverage are all still in good shape.
My earlier concern is partially addressed, but the specific failure path I flagged is still open.
The validation added at appconfig/appconfig.go lines 436–449 rejects two cases: an empty args = [] and a command + args combination. Neither of those prevents the silent data loss I described. The remaining hole is:
# [services.console] with args-only (no command) — this passes validation
[services.console]
args = ["rails", "c"]This input passes all current validation checks: Args is non-nil, non-empty, and Command is "" so the mutual-exclusion guard doesn't fire. Then migrateConsoleService (build.go:323–327) creates a TaskConfig{Command: svc.Command, ...} where Command is still "" — the args are never transferred, because TaskConfig has no Args field by design. The result is a console task with an empty command that silently fails at runtime.
The thread was marked resolved by CodeRabbit's note "Addressed in commits 138a811 to cd36107," but I've verified in the current head that the args-only-on-console path reaches migrateConsoleService unimpeded. The code doesn't protect against it.
This is a narrow combination — legacy [services.console] plus the new args field — but the failure is silent: the deploy succeeds, the task exists, and it only breaks when someone actually tries to run a console. The fix is a one-liner in appconfig.Validate: inside the for serviceName, svcConfig := range ac.Services loop, if serviceName == appconfig.ConsoleName && svcConfig.Args != nil, return a ValidationError pointing at [tasks.console]. That's exactly what I described in the original thread.
Everything else in this PR is solid and I'd encourage shipping it once that guard is in place.
🍪 full review note · comment /biscuit review to run biscuit again.
Images often use ENTRYPOINT to prepare the container and CMD for the arguments that select what runs. A service command replaces both and runs through a shell, forcing configurations to copy details from the image and turning separate arguments into one string. Carry a service args list from app.toml through version and sandbox config, then let containerd replace only the image CMD. Leave the image defaults and the existing /bin/sh -c command behavior unchanged.

🍪 biscuit: ✅ ready to merge — auto-review, non-blocking
My earlier concern is fully addressed. The specific failure path I flagged — [services.console] with an args-only config silently producing a task with an empty command — is now closed.
At appconfig/appconfig.go lines 437–442, the console guard is the first check inside the if svcConfig.Args != nil block. That ordering is exactly right: it fires before the empty-args and command+args checks, so any args value on a service named console (nil, empty, or populated) gets rejected with a clear error pointing the user to [tasks.console]. And TestServiceArgsValidationAndParsing / "rejects args on the deprecated console service" exercises that path directly, asserting both halves of the error message.
Everything else from my earlier review is still solid — the buildServicesConfig schema threading, the mutual-exclusion validation, and the broader test coverage are all in good shape. This is ready to merge.
