fix(deploy): resolve authored persona imports from the installed CLI tree - #325
Conversation
…tree `agentworkforce deploy ./persona.ts` failed on a fresh install with `Could not resolve "@agentworkforce/persona-kit"` whenever the user's repo had no node_modules of its own — which is the normal case for a globally installed CLI. `packageNodePaths` built esbuild's fallback roots as `join(here, '..', '..', '..', 'node_modules')`. In an installed layout `here` is `<prefix>/node_modules/@agentworkforce/deploy/dist`, so three levels up is already `<prefix>/node_modules` and the extra segment yielded `<prefix>/node_modules/node_modules` — a path that only exists in the dev monorepo checkout (`repo/packages/deploy/dist` → `repo/node_modules`), which is why this passed CI while every published CLI failed. The `cwd/node_modules` fallback masked it for anyone deploying from a repo that happened to have persona-kit installed. Build the full node_modules lookup chain instead, using Node's own semantics — including the case the old join got wrong, where an ancestor that *is* node_modules is itself the search root. Chains are taken from the persona file, this installed package, and the cwd, deduped and ordered so the project's own dependencies still win. Also annotate esbuild's bare "Could not resolve" with the package name and the directory to install it in, for packages neither the project nor the CLI ships (e.g. `@agentworkforce/turn-kit`, which is not a CLI dependency). Verified against a clean `npm install agentworkforce@4.1.47` tree with the persona in a node_modules-free repo: reproduced the reported error, and both `loadPersonaSourceFile` and `extractAgentSpec` now succeed. The new integration test copies the built package into a fake install layout and fails with the reported error when only `packageNodePaths` is reverted.

When a missing dependency is imported through a subpath, such as @relayfile/adapter-core/vfs-client, this command passes the complete import specifier to npm instead of the package name. npm interprets that scoped example as a local directory (and an unscoped value such as lodash/fp as a Git repository), so the advertised recovery command fails or installs the wrong source. Reduce unresolved specifiers to the first segment for unscoped packages or the first two segments for scoped packages before constructing the hint.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
Two review findings on the install hint, both real: - CodeRabbit: the hint is written to be pasted into a shell, so a specifier or path carrying shell metacharacters (`evil; touch pwned`, a directory with an apostrophe) rendered as multiple commands. Quote both, leaving ordinary paths and package names bare so the common message stays readable. - codex: a deep import (`@relayfile/adapter-core/triggers`, `lodash/fp`) was passed to npm verbatim, which npm reads as a local directory or a git remote. Reduce specifiers to the package name first. Tests cover both, including a round-trip through /bin/sh proving the injected command cannot execute.

) * fix(cli): ship every persona-authoring kit in the CLI install tree A persona is authored as persona.ts and compiled by the CLI, which resolves the file's imports out of the CLI's own install tree — a globally installed CLI plus a repo with no node_modules is the normal case. #325 fixed the resolution mechanism, but only persona-kit was actually in that tree. turn-kit and review-kit both export define*Persona entry points a persona.ts imports, and neither was a CLI dependency, so `defineTurnPersona` and `defineReviewPersona` personas still failed to compile on a fresh install — the same bug #325 fixed, one layer over. Added to @agentworkforce/cli rather than to deploy (which does the resolving): review-kit's tests import @agentworkforce/deploy, so depending on it from deploy makes a cyclic workspace dependency that pnpm warns about and that leaves `pnpm -r build` order ambiguous. The CLI is the installed surface and nothing depends on it, so the graph stays acyclic. Verified against the published 4.1.49 tree with turn-kit added: a turn persona compiles from a repo with no node_modules, and turn-kit's optional @agent-assistant/turn-context peer is not dragged into the bundle when it is absent. The new test derives the kit list from the source rather than hardcoding it, so a future kit that exports a define*Persona is caught the day it lands. Root `test` now globs scripts/*.test.mjs so new script tests run in CI. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: harden kit discovery and the workspace test glob (PR feedback) cubic findings, all valid: - Discovery scanned only the top level of packages/*/src and only matched `export function`, so a kit exporting `export const define*Persona` or placing its entry in a subdirectory would be silently skipped — the guard would pass while the fresh-install break it exists to catch went live. Walks src recursively and matches const / async function too. - The lockstep check indexed a regex match directly, so a reformatted publish.yml line threw an unrelated TypeError instead of naming the cause. - The root test glob was single-quoted; cmd.exe does not strip those, so npm on Windows would hand node the pattern verbatim and match no files. Verified discovery still finds persona-kit, review-kit and turn-kit.

The bug
On a fresh install, deploying an authored persona fails:
Reported against 4.1.47 with a globally installed CLI and a repo that has no
node_modulesof its own — the normal case fornpm i -g agentworkforce.Root cause
packageNodePathsinpackages/deploy/src/persona-source.tsbuilt esbuild's fallback resolution roots as:hereis the installed<prefix>/node_modules/@agentworkforce/deploy/dist, so three levels up is already<prefix>/node_modules— the extra segment produced<prefix>/node_modules/node_modules, which does not exist. That path is only correct in the dev monorepo layout (repo/packages/deploy/dist→repo/node_modules), which is exactly why CI stayed green while every published CLI failed. The remainingcwd/node_modulesfallback masked it for anyone deploying from a repo that happened to havepersona-kitinstalled.Net effect: the CLI's own copy of
@agentworkforce/persona-kitwas never reachable from an installed CLI, and the user's repo has nothing to fall back to.Fix
node_moduleslookup chain with Node's own semantics, including the case the oldjoingot wrong: an ancestor that isnode_modulesis itself a search root. Chains are taken from the persona file, this installed package, and the cwd — deduped, and ordered so the project's own dependencies still win (nodePathsis only consulted after normal resolution fails, so this cannot shadow a local install).Could not resolvewith the missing package and where to install it. This covers packages neither the project nor the CLI ships — e.g.@agentworkforce/turn-kit, which is not a CLI dependency, so adefineTurnPersonapersona still needs a local install:Verification
npm install agentworkforce@4.1.47into a clean prefix, persona in anode_modules-free repo, cwd inside that repo: reproduced the reported error verbatim; with the fixed file dropped in, bothloadPersonaSourceFileandextractAgentSpec(agent.tsextraction, same helper) succeed.packageNodePathsto the old implementation makes it fail with the reportedCould not resolve "@agentworkforce/persona-kit". Itchdirs into the persona directory on purpose — without that, the test runner's cwd (this monorepo) resolves the import and the test passes against the broken code.@agentworkforce/deploysuite: 261/261 pass.Not changed
bundle.ts(the real deploy artifact foragent.ts) still has nonodePathsfallback, deliberately: bundled dependencies are pinned into the bundle manifest, so a handler's third-party imports should come from the user's project rather than the CLI's tree. Only the throwaway compile/extract builds fall back to the CLI.This needs a release to reach users — the fix ships in
