Fixes items 1 and 2 of #353. Item 3 is split out to #409, where the fix carries a CI trade-off worth deciding on its own.

compile:ts never cleared its output directory

tsc doesn't record what it emitted, so output whose source was since renamed or deleted survives every rebuild and pack:npm packs it. This was live in this repo: packages/cli/dist/source still held commands/, lib/, index.js, main.js, and two .tsbuildinfo files from the layout that preceded the src/ restructure — all of them packed into the tarball.

compile:ts now clears the directory before emitting. The stale .tsbuildinfo goes with it: left in place after the files it describes are gone, it reports them as up to date and tsc emits nothing.

Entries another task owns are kept. compile:skills has no edge ordering it against compile:ts, so deleting its subtree would race it, and the pack:npm docs and manifest are restored from that task's own cache entry rather than re-derived here. The rmSync in copyPackageDocs still earns its place — it covers the cache-hit path, where this clean doesn't run.

compile:ts and pack:npm declared overlapping outputs

compile:ts declared dist/source/**, which contains every file pack:npm writes. A compile:ts cache entry captured the stamped manifest and replayed it on a hit, restoring whatever version was current when the entry was written. The negations already present on pack:npm's inputs now have their counterpart on compile:ts's outputs.

Two things the issue didn't cover, found while fixing it:

  • compile:skills declares dist/source/skills/**, which the same glob also swallowed. compile:ts excludes it too, when the workspace has skills at all.
  • pack:npm writes dist/source/.npmignore but never declared it — neither as an output it owns nor as a self-generated file excluded from its inputs. Both are fixed.

The ownership split now lives in one module that both the turbo globs and the clean read, so the two can't drift apart.

Verification

  • Reproduced the stale-output bug by planting orphans in a built dist/source and re-running compile:ts: the orphans went, skills/ and the pack:npm-owned files survived with contents intact.
  • Unit tests cover the clean against a real temp directory and the generated turbo config's output ownership.
  • Full pnpm build green including e2e; gtb verify reports no drift.

Note for the reviewer

packages/cli/test/process.test.ts timed out on one build run and passed in isolation — the load-contention pattern described under "Vitest usage specifics" in AGENTS.md. packages/cli doesn't raise testTimeout the way eslint-config and test-utils do. Pre-existing and unrelated to this change, but it will keep flaking under a full pnpm check.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

tsc doesn't record what it emitted, so output whose source was since
renamed or deleted survived every rebuild and pack:npm shipped it.
compile:ts now clears its output directory before emitting, dropping the
stale tsbuildinfo with it — left in place it reports the removed files
as up to date and suppresses the re-emit. Entries another task owns are
kept: compile:skills has no edge ordering it against compile:ts, and the
pack:npm docs and manifest come back from that task's own cache entry.

compile:ts also declared the files pack:npm writes as its own turbo
outputs. The overlapping glob let a compile:ts cache entry capture the
stamped manifest and replay it on a hit, restoring whatever version was
current when the entry was written. Each writer of the output directory
now declares only what it produces, including the .npmignore pack:npm
had been writing without claiming, and the ownership split lives in one
module that both the turbo globs and the clean read.

The remaining item, whether pack:npm's dist/source input needs deferred
hashing, is split out to #409.

Closes #353

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR centralizes dist/source output definitions, adds stale TypeScript output cleanup, preserves outputs owned by packaging and skills tasks, and updates Turbo inputs and outputs with matching tests and documentation.

Changes

Dist source ownership

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared output contracts
packages/cli/src/lib/dist-source.ts, packages/cli/src/lib/tsconfig-gen.ts, packages/cli/src/lib/turbo-config.ts
Shared constants define dist/source, package artifacts, and the skills directory. TypeScript and Turbo configurations use these definitions.
Compiled output cleanup
packages/cli/src/commands/task/compile-ts.ts, packages/cli/test/compile-ts.test.ts
compileTs removes stale compiled files and .tsbuildinfo entries while preserving skills and packaging outputs. Tests cover cleanup, preservation, isolation, and missing output directories.
Turbo ownership validation
turbo.json, packages/cli/test/turbo-json-dist-source.test.ts, packages/cli/test/turbo-json.test.ts, packages/cli/skills/gtb-build-pipeline/SKILL.md, .changeset/stale-dist-source.md
Turbo declarations and tests assign published artifacts to pack:npm and exclude them from compile:ts. Documentation and the changeset describe the updated ownership rules.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 19d37

The build cleanup can preserve obsolete skill files when a package no longer supports skills, allowing stale artifacts to remain in the packaged distribution. This should be corrected or explicitly accepted before merging.

Learning: In tests within **/{test,e2e,__tests__}/**/*.{test,spec}.{ts,tsx,js,jsx}, follow the AGENTS.md faker convention: direct `faker-js/faker` usage is allowed only for one-off primitives when the produced value’s shape is exactly what faker returns (e.g., `faker.git.commitSha()`, `faker.string.uuid()`). Use `gtbuchanan/test-utils/builders` only when there is a domain-shaped value worth centralizing (e.g., scoped package names, semver ranges, GitHub URLs). Do not wrap a native faker generator in a builder for a plain primitive (e.g., a raw commit SHA), since that adds indirection without centralizing any domain shape.

Learning: In the gtbuchanan/tooling repo, hand-authored `.pkl` source files are expected to live at the package root (top level), not under subdirectories like `src/`. Accordingly, when reviewing `discoverPackage` logic for `hasPkl`, ensure it only detects top-level `.pkl` files in the package root and does not require (or add) recursive/nested-directory `.pkl` discovery.

Timestamp: 2026-06-15T19:58:27.007Z
Learning: When reviewing tests (e.g., in packages/**/test/**/*.test.ts), if the system-under-test explicitly branches on specific string-literal values (such as sort order, extension filters, or reserved filename exclusions like "PklProject"), require those branching inputs to be hardcoded literals in the test rather than generated via test-data builders. Do not recommend replacing these literals with builder patterns, because it would obscure what behavior is being exercised. Allow builder patterns only for incidental, domain-shaped data where the exact values do not affect the assertion logic (e.g., scoped package names or semver ranges used as opaque inputs).

Learning: In CLI tests, capture generated fixture values in variables when the test asserts the same generated value after setup. Do not capture values that are only used as write-only fixture scaffolding with no corresponding assertion; use inline builder calls such as `build.*()` instead, as established in `packages/cli/test/tsconfig-single-package.test.ts`.

File: packages/cli/src/lib/sort.ts:0-0
Timestamp: 2026-06-18T19:47:41.809Z
Learning: In the CLI package, keep deterministic string ordering by using the shared `localeComparer` comparator from `packages/cli/src/lib/sort.ts` (which pins locale via `left.localeCompare(right, 'en')`) instead of calling `string.localeCompare` inline. This prevents host/default-locale differences from changing generated outputs (e.g., task order in `turbo.json`). If adding new sorting logic in this package, route it through `localeComparer` to match existing behavior.

Learning: In the gtbuchanan/tooling repo, `.changeset/*.md` files should intentionally omit the Markdown H1 heading (MD041). Follow the changesets CLI convention: `frontmatter` followed by a blank line and then a plain summary text line. Do not prepend the summary with `# `, because the changesets CLI consumes that summary verbatim as the CHANGELOG entry; adding `# ` would introduce an unwanted stray H1 into the generated changelog. MD041 is not enforced by the repo’s `eslint-markdownlint` config for these files; any MD041 warnings for `.changeset/*.md` come from markdownlint-cli2 defaults rather than the repo’s own lint configuration.

Make skills preservation conditional on the current skills capability.

Line 27 always preserves skills. packages/cli/src/lib/turbo-config.ts treats that subtree as foreign only when flags.hasSkills is true.

If a package removes its skills capability, this cleanup leaves its old dist/source/skills files in place. compile:ts then owns and caches that subtree, and pack:npm can publish the stale files. Derive the preserved entries from the same capability state that creates compile:skills, and add a no-skills stale-subtree test.
