The gap

#325 fixed how the CLI resolves an authored persona's imports — it now searches its own install tree, because a globally installed CLI plus a repo with no node_modules is the normal case. But only persona-kit was actually in that tree.

turn-kit and review-kit both export define*Persona entry points that a persona.ts imports, and neither was a CLI dependency. So a defineTurnPersona persona still failed on a fresh install — the same bug as #325, one layer over:

ERROR: Could not resolve "@agentworkforce/turn-kit"

(After #325 that at least ends with an actionable npm install hint rather than a dead end, but it should just work.)

Fix

Both kits added to @agentworkforce/cli.

Why the CLI and not deploy, which does the resolving? review-kit's tests import @agentworkforce/deploy, so depending on review-kit from deploy creates a cyclic workspace dependency — pnpm warns about it (WARN There are cyclic workspace dependencies: packages/deploy, packages/review-kit) and it leaves pnpm -r build order ambiguous in a repo whose CI builds before typechecking. The CLI is the installed surface and nothing depends on it, so the graph stays acyclic. In the global npm install everything hoists to one node_modules root, which is exactly where the resolver looks.

Verification

Against the published 4.1.49 tree with turn-kit added to it, compiling examples/turn-agent/persona.ts from a directory with no node_modules and cwd inside it:

TURN PERSONA COMPILES: {"id":"turn-agent-example","intent":"relay-orchestrator",...}

Also confirms turn-kit's optional @agent-assistant/turn-context peer is not dragged into the persona bundle when it isn't installed — the barrel doesn't re-export the module that imports it.

Test

scripts/authoring-kits.test.mjs derives the kit list from source (export function define*Persona) rather than hardcoding it, so a future kit is caught the day it lands rather than the next time someone tries to deploy one. It also asserts each kit publishes in lockstep with the CLI, so they can't drift apart in version.

Verified non-vacuous: removing turn-kit from the CLI's dependencies fails the test.

Root test script now globs scripts/*.test.mjs so new script tests actually run in CI.

Review in cubic

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.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CLI adds workspace dependencies for the review and turn kits. Script test execution now includes all matching test files. New tests discover persona-authoring kits and verify CLI installation and publication coverage.

Changes

CLI authoring kit packaging

Layer / File(s) Summary
CLI workspace dependency declarations
packages/cli/package.json
The CLI adds @agentworkforce/review-kit and @agentworkforce/turn-kit as workspace dependencies.
Authoring kit discovery and publication checks
package.json, scripts/authoring-kits.test.mjs
The test command runs all scripts/*.test.mjs files. New tests discover persona-authoring kits and verify their CLI dependencies and publish workflow targets.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 25fd4

The runtime dependency fix is localized, but the new publication test does not enforce that the CLI and authoring kits are published together at matching versions, so a future release could pass CI with incompatible package versions. Merge should wait for that assertion or explicit owner acceptance.

Poem

A rabbit checks the kits in line,
Finds persona paths that neatly shine.
The CLI packs each needed part,
Publish targets match the chart.
Tests now hop through every file—
All green tracks stretch for miles.

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.

Assert the actual lockstep invariant.

This test only checks that each kit name appears in the workflow target set. It does not verify that @agentworkforce/cli is also published or that each kit version equals the CLI version. A publication workflow with version drift can pass this test. Compare the CLI version with every discovered kit version and assert that the CLI target is present.
