Description
Summary
rsconnect write-manifest quarto always creates a static document manifest, even for Quarto documents that use server: shiny in their YAML front matter. There's no way to generate a quarto-shiny manifest via the CLI.
Details
The codebase has support for AppModes.SHINY_QUARTO internally, but the CLI doesn't expose this functionality:
- No
--shinyflag onwrite-manifest quarto - No auto-detection of
server: shinyin the Quarto document's YAML front matter write-manifest shinydoesn't recognize.qmdfiles as valid entry points
Current workarounds
- Use
quarto publish connectinstead (which does handle this correctly) - Manually create a
manifest.jsonwith"appmode": "quarto-shiny"
Expected behavior
Either:
write-manifest quartoshould detectserver: shinyin the document and create aquarto-shinymanifest automatically, OR- A
--shinyflag should be added to explicitly request a Shiny Quarto manifest

Research direction
Start at the write-manifest quarto and write-manifest shiny CLI entry points, then trace the existing AppModes.SHINY_QUARTO support. Check how Quarto YAML front matter and valid entry points are handled. Done means the CLI can produce a quarto-shiny manifest for a .qmd document using server: shiny, either through detection or an explicit flag.
