Stop packing and caching stale dist/source content - #411
Conversation
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 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

around readdirSync(outDir) so skills is preserved only when the current skills
capability is enabled, matching the hasSkills condition used by turbo
configuration and compile:skills creation. When skills is disabled, remove the
stale dist/source/skills subtree instead of treating it as foreign, and add a

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.

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`.

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.

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:tsnever cleared its output directorytsc doesn't record what it emitted, so output whose source was since renamed or deleted survives every rebuild and
pack:npmpacks it. This was live in this repo:packages/cli/dist/sourcestill heldcommands/,lib/,index.js,main.js, and two.tsbuildinfofiles from the layout that preceded thesrc/restructure — all of them packed into the tarball.compile:tsnow clears the directory before emitting. The stale.tsbuildinfogoes 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:skillshas no edge ordering it againstcompile:ts, so deleting its subtree would race it, and thepack:npmdocs and manifest are restored from that task's own cache entry rather than re-derived here. ThermSyncincopyPackageDocsstill earns its place — it covers the cache-hit path, where this clean doesn't run.compile:tsandpack:npmdeclared overlapping outputscompile:tsdeclareddist/source/**, which contains every filepack:npmwrites. Acompile:tscache 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 onpack:npm's inputs now have their counterpart oncompile:ts's outputs.Two things the issue didn't cover, found while fixing it:
compile:skillsdeclaresdist/source/skills/**, which the same glob also swallowed.compile:tsexcludes it too, when the workspace has skills at all.pack:npmwritesdist/source/.npmignorebut 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.
