Reference

The development guide and the language section are how you think. This section is how you invoke. The TypeScript surface is import { compileWorkspace, dropWorkspace, mapKitPath, workspaceDir, setupPlatform } from 'svelte-d'. The CLI is the same operations with flags, plus setup, parse, scan, map, bootstrap, kit-routes, lodash, wasm, host, and version. Adapters consume ws/.svelte-d/manifest.json and copy artifacts; they do not start a Node HTTP stack.

If a flag’s default surprises you, it is usually dest. Dest comes from svelte-d.config.ts workspace, then from the kit project root, never from the packaged template. See config before assuming drop-ws without --dest wrote where you are looking.
