The dashboard Source column for executables with endpoint property references (e.g.
endpoint.Property(EndpointProperty.TargetPort)) displayed raw DCP template expressions like{{- portForServing "exe" -}}instead of the resolved values already visible in the Executable arguments detail property.Root cause
AppArgs(used by the Source column) is populated at executable creation time — before DCP resolves template expressions. Dynamic port references store the literal DCP template string.EffectiveArgs(populated post-run by DCP) has the actual resolved values, but was only used as a fallback whenAppArgswas absent.Fix
ResourceSourceViewModel.GetCommandLineInfo: For non-project executables, whenEffectiveArgs(DCP-resolved) are available and non-empty, prefer them overAppArgs. Falls back toAppArgswhenEffectiveArgsis not yet available (i.e., before the process has started).Checklist
