# Development guide

|
|
|
This onboarding guide helps project contributors get started with the local environment, daily workflow, and CI flow; see the RFCs for design rationale and technical trade-offs.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- Node.js supports 22.19+ and 24+. CI covers 22.19, 24, and 26; see the [Node engine floor RFC](rfc/implemented/process/2026-07-06-node-engine-floor.md).
|
|
- Corepack-enabled pnpm. The repo pins `pnpm@11.7.0` in `package.json`; run `corepack enable` if `pnpm --version` does not resolve through Corepack.
|
|
- Git.
|
|
- Optional: a DeepSeek API key for the REPL/ACP agent demos and real-API e2e tests.
|
|
|
|
## First-time setup
|
|
|
|
Install dependencies from the repo root:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
pnpm install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The install also runs the root `postinstall` script, which installs lefthook from the repo dev dependency through `scripts/install-lefthook.mjs`; the wrapper script uses lefthook's reviewed `--force` mode so linked worktrees with an existing `core.hooksPath` do not fail normal `pnpm run …` commands.
|
|
|
|
If hooks are missing because dependencies were restored from cache or `postinstall` was skipped, install them manually:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
pnpm exec lefthook install --force
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run typecheck once after a fresh clone:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
pnpm run typecheck
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
That first typecheck runs the package/vendor build graph and the root no-emit `tsconfig.json` graph for examples, tests, and scripts. The root graph uses the same source `paths` map but relies on project references so vendored code is checked under its own tsconfig settings.
|
|
|
|
If you are preparing to push from a fresh clone or worktree, also build once:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
pnpm run build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`pnpm run hygiene` includes `publint`, which validates package entrypoints against the built `lib/*.js` files, and `verify-node-next-types`, which validates built declarations against a temporary NodeNext consumer. A fresh worktree has no bundled JS or declarations until `pnpm run build` runs.
|
|
|
|
## Environment variables
|
|
|
|
The real DeepSeek adapter and key-backed agent demos read credentials from the environment or from a gitignored `.env` at the repo root:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-...
|
|
DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL=https://... # optional
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL` is optional and defaults to the public API. Never commit real credentials. The real-API e2e suites self-skip when `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` is not set.
|
|
|
|
## Git hooks
|
|
|
|
lefthook is configured in `lefthook.yml` as an early local checkpoint before review:
|
|
|
|
- `pre-commit` runs staged-file ESLint fixes, `pnpm run typecheck`, and the vendor manifest guard.
|
|
- `pre-push` runs `pnpm run check:pre-push`, whose scheduler runs runtime-closure verification, unit tests, duplication detection, snapshot tests, build, module-graph freshness, and the member gates of `pnpm run hygiene` and `pnpm run doc-sync` concurrently.
|
|
|
|
The vendor manifest guard checks that changes under `vendor/*/src` are staged with the matching `vendor/README.md` manifest update. See `vendor/README.md` before editing vendored code.
|
|
|
|
These hooks do not exactly mirror CI. Notably, `pre-push` runs unit tests without coverage, while CI runs `pnpm run test:coverage`; CI also runs echo-agent and built-bin smoke tests and exercises the compatibility matrix on Node 22.19, 24, and 26.
|
|
|
|
## CI gates
|
|
|
|
The keyless [CI workflow](../.github/workflows/ci.yml) groups independent gates into broad lanes and runs a smaller compatibility signal across supported Node versions. Artifact consumers wait for one build within their lane. The separate real-API workflow runs `pnpm run test:e2e` with its configured worker bound. See [scripts/run-gates.ts](../scripts/run-gates.ts) and the workflow files for the current gate and job inventory.
|
|
|
|
## Daily commands
|
|
|
|
Use these from the repo root:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
pnpm run test # unit tests
|
|
pnpm run test:coverage # unit tests with per-file coverage gates
|
|
pnpm run test:e2e # real-API tests; self-skips without DEEPSEEK_API_KEY
|
|
pnpm run typecheck # build package/vendor outputs, then typecheck examples, tests, and scripts
|
|
pnpm run lint # eslint .
|
|
pnpm run lint:fix # eslint . --fix
|
|
pnpm run doc-typecheck # compile checked TypeScript snippets in Markdown docs
|
|
pnpm run gen-cordis-catalog # regenerate docs/cordis-catalog/events.md + services.md from source
|
|
pnpm run verify-cordis-catalog # fail if either cordis catalog is stale
|
|
pnpm run verify-export-jsdoc # fail if a module-level package export lacks complete JSDoc
|
|
pnpm run gen-doc-graphs # regenerate generated relationship docs from source and curated graph definitions
|
|
pnpm run verify-doc-graphs # fail if generated relationship docs are stale
|
|
pnpm run gen-rfc-index # regenerate the docs/rfc/README.md index tables from the RFC tree
|
|
pnpm run verify-md-wrap # fail on hard-wrapped prose paragraphs in docs/README markdown
|
|
pnpm run verify-mermaid # fail if a ```mermaid diagram has invalid Mermaid syntax
|
|
pnpm run verify-type-equiv # fail if a ```ts type-equiv doc block drifts from its source type
|
|
pnpm run verify-doc-budgets # fail if a budgeted standing doc exceeds its word ceiling
|
|
pnpm run doc-sync # all Markdown/doc gates; see the doc-sync script in package.json for the full list
|
|
pnpm run gen-module-graph # regenerate docs/module-graph.md from package peerDeps
|
|
pnpm run verify-module-graph # fail if docs/module-graph.md is stale
|
|
pnpm run build # emit lib/types intermediates, then bundle lib/index.* runtime files
|
|
pnpm run verify-node-next-types # fail if built declarations are not NodeNext-consumable
|
|
pnpm run hygiene # knip, publint, workspace constraints, and NodeNext declaration check
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When changing package public behavior, update the relevant README or JSDoc in the same change. `pnpm run doc-sync` catches checked TypeScript snippets, generated doc freshness, markdown wrap/link drift, type equivalence, translation pairing, Mermaid syntax, and doc budgets, but broader prose/API sync still needs review.
|
|
|
|
## Demos
|
|
|
|
The echo demo does not need API credentials:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
pnpm run demo:echo
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The repl-agent demo uses the line-oriented readline front door and needs `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` in the environment or repo-root `.env`:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
pnpm run demo:repl
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The full-screen TUI reuses the repl-agent composition through the pi-tui front door and needs the same credentials:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
pnpm run demo:tui
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The self-referential cordis-agent demo can inspect and modify its live plugin runtime and needs the same credentials:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
pnpm run demo:cordis
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The ACP server agent demo exposes the agent over JSON-RPC stdio and also needs `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY`:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
pnpm run demo:acp
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## TODO markers
|
|
|
|
Use one of three comment tags to flag known issues in the code, ordered by urgency:
|
|
|
|
- `FIXME` — an issue that should block a new release. A release should not ship with an open `FIXME` unless reviewers explicitly agree the change can be merged anyway.
|
|
- `TODO` — an issue that should be fixed soon, once we have the resources.
|
|
- `XXX` — an issue that we may fix someday; lowest priority, no commitment.
|
|
|
|
Pick the tag that matches the urgency so anyone scanning the code can tell a release blocker from a someday-maybe.
|
|
|
|
## Documenting types verbatim (`ts type-equiv`)
|
|
|
|
The [core data structures](core-data-structures/core.md) docs paste source-equivalent declarations together with their original JSDoc so a reader sees the exact shape and source contract. To keep a paste from drifting when source changes, fence it as ` ```ts type-equiv ` (instead of ` ```ts `) and register it in `scripts/type-equiv.manifest.json` with the source file and symbol it mirrors:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{ "doc": "docs/core-data-structures/session.md", "symbol": "SessionEvent", "source": "packages/core/session/src/types.ts" }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`pnpm run verify-type-equiv` (part of `doc-sync`) then extracts that symbol's declaration and attached JSDoc from source via the TypeScript parser and asserts the block matches both. For a class whose implementation bodies do not belong in the catalog, use ` ```ts public-api ` and set `"projection": "public-api"`; the checked projection retains the public fields, constructor, accessors, methods, and original class/member JSDoc while omitting bodies and private or protected members. Comparison ignores whitespace and non-JSDoc comments but requires every original JSDoc comment, including member documentation, so readers see the source contract beside the exact shape. The gate also enforces a 1:1 correspondence by document, symbol, and projection, so a block can't go silently unchecked and a stale entry can't linger. `doc-typecheck` skips both fence kinds (they aren't standalone-compilable) and excludes them from its opt-out ratio. When you change a documented declaration or its JSDoc, the gate fails until you update the paste; when you add or remove a block, update the manifest in the same change.

|
|
## Architecture context
|
|
|
|
Read `docs/architecture.md` before changing anything under `packages/`. The codebase is built around Cordis plugins, event-sourced sessions, typed service seams, and explicit extension points.
