fix(opencode): put altimate-dbt on PATH after npm install, with or without postinstall - #1702
After npm install -g altimate-code, altimate-dbt often isn't available. The agent then falls back to plain dbt and loses the manifest-aware tools (schema-verify, lineage, execute).
There are two causes:
script/publish.ts only declares altimate and altimate-code as bin entries. altimate-dbt only reaches the package's bin/ through postinstall.mjs, so it's missing whenever install scripts don't run: --ignore-scripts, pnpm/bun script allow-lists, or locked-down CI.
The app only adds that folder to PATH inside the bash tool (ALTIMATE_BIN_DIR). The dbt-schema-verify validator spawns altimate-dbt with the app's own PATH, so it couldn't find it even when postinstall did run.
The fix:
script/publish.ts: declare "altimate-dbt": "./dbt-tools/bin/altimate-dbt" in both generated bin maps. Package managers link bin entries without running scripts, and npm creates the Windows .cmd/.ps1 shims.
bin/altimate and bin/altimate-code: prepend the package bin/ to the app's PATH. Also prepend ../dbt-tools/bin when postinstall didn't link altimate-dbt. Everything the app spawns inherits this, including the validators. It uses path.delimiter, finds the PATH key case-insensitively (Path on Windows), and doesn't add duplicate entries.
postinstall.mjs and tool/bash.ts are unchanged.
How did you verify your code works?
New tests.test/install/dbt-tools-on-path.test.ts checks the publish bin entries. It also runs an end-to-end npm pack and npm install -g --ignore-scripts, then runs altimate-dbt doctor from PATH. That test has a control without the fix, and a postinstall that exits 1 to prove scripts never ran. test/install/bin-wrapper.test.ts covers both launchers: the fallback, the postinstall-linked case, and no duplicate PATH entries. Without the fix, the publish test and 4 launcher tests fail.
bun test test/install/ test/tool/bash.test.ts test/altimate/validators/: 1,091 pass, 0 fail. tsgo --noEmit is clean.
Manual, macOS (Apple silicon), v0.12.10, clean shell with nothing extra on PATH, both installed with npm install -g --prefix <dir> --ignore-scripts:
stock:bin/ has only altimate and altimate-code. In Builder mode, the agent's which altimate-dbt gives altimate-dbt not found.
patched:bin/ also has altimate-dbt, and altimate-dbt doctor passes in a dbt + DuckDB project. In Builder mode, the agent's which altimate-dbt resolves to .../altimate-code/dbt-tools/bin/altimate-dbt through the launcher fallback.
Windows: not run on a Windows machine. I checked npm's generated cmd-shim output for the new bin: the .cmd and .ps1 shims both run node <path>/dbt-tools/bin/altimate-dbt. The dbt-tools/bin fallback has no .cmd, so on Windows the bin entry is the fix.
Cost side effects
None. It changes package metadata and PATH setup at launch, and adds no model calls, queries or cloud resources.
Screenshots / recordings
N/A (not a UI change).
Checklist
I have tested my changes locally
I have not included unrelated changes in this PR
I checked for cost side effects (model calls, queries or cloud resources that grow with user data) and described them, or wrote "none"
Out of scope: the standalone installers (install, install.ps1) don't appear to ship altimate-dbt at all, which may be worth a separate look.
I diagnosed and patched this with help from Claude, and verified the behavior myself as described above.
Summary by cubic
Makes altimate-dbt available after npm install -g altimate-code, with or without lifecycle scripts, and on the PATH for everything the app spawns.
Previously altimate-dbt only reached the package's bin/ through postinstall.mjs, so it was missing when install scripts were skipped (--ignore-scripts, pnpm/bun allow-lists, locked-down CI), and the dbt-schema-verify validator spawned altimate-dbt with the app's own PATH, which never included it. The agent then silently fell back to plain dbt, losing schema-verify, lineage, and execute. Now the published package.json declares altimate-dbt as a bin (so package managers link it without running scripts), and both launchers put the package bin/ and the bundled dbt-tools/bin fallback at the front of the app's PATH, ahead of any existing entry, case-insensitively and without duplicates.
Bug Fixes
Declares altimate-dbt as a bin in both generated package.json files in script/publish.ts; npm also creates the Windows .cmd/.ps1 shims. If another package already owns a global altimate-dbt, npm stops with EEXIST; remove or rename that shim or install with --force.
Puts the packaged tool dirs on PATH in bin/altimate and bin/altimate-code so validators and the agent inherit them, falling back to dbt-tools/bin when postinstall didn't link altimate-dbt. The dirs are moved ahead of the existing PATH, so an older altimate-dbt can't shadow the bundled one.
Adds tests for the pack + global install with --ignore-scripts flow and the launcher PATH handling for both wrappers; npm calls are time-bounded so a stalled registry fails instead of hanging CI, and the launcher extends a mixed-case Path key rather than adding a second PATH.
Written for commit 944de23. Summary will update on new commits.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
The altimate-dbt command is now available from both package variants, including after a global installation that skips install scripts.
Bug Fixes
The app can locate the bundled altimate-dbt executable when a post-install link is unavailable. The launcher prioritizes the relevant tool directories, avoids duplicate entries, and preserves existing PATH settings.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01WyL6JbJvKGuJD8gT1BWVx3
Both launchers now configure child PATH to include the bundled altimate-dbt when needed. The generated scoped and unscoped package manifests expose altimate-dbt. Tests cover launcher behavior and global npm installation.
Both launchers prepend their directory to child PATH. If that directory does not contain altimate-dbt and the bundled directory does, they prepend the bundled directory. Tests check linked and bundled binary selection, PATH preservation, duplicate removal, stale-tool precedence, and mixed-case Path handling.
Published executable mapping packages/opencode/script/publish.ts, packages/opencode/test/install/dbt-tools-on-path.test.ts
Both generated package variants map altimate-dbt to the bundled wrapper. Tests check the declarations and verify global installation with and without the bin entry.
The executable mappings and launcher PATH changes have no established merge-blocking regression. Installation tests retain two narrow coverage gaps that can be addressed as follow-up.

Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
The only directly linked issue, #982, is closed and completed. Per the assessment rules, it supplies background only. No active directly linked target remains, so no linked-issue coding requirements apply. The issue's suggested fix (add altimate-dbt to the package bin map) is historical context. This pull request also applies that fix in packages/opencode/script/publish.ts, in both generated bin maps. The later commits (npm call timeouts, bundled-directory precedence, mixed-case Path handling, EEXIST note) do not change this verdict.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
All changed files serve the stated goal: make altimate-dbt available on PATH after npm install, with or without lifecycle scripts, and for processes the app spawns. (1) packages/opencode/script/publish.ts (+11): declares altimate-dbt as a bin in both generated package maps. This addresses the root cause in #982. (2) packages/opencode/bin/altimate and packages/opencode/bin/altimate-code (+17 each): prepend the package bin/ directory, and the dbt-tools/bin fallback when altimate-dbt is not linked. Existing PATH entries matching the prepended directories are removed, so bundled tools take precedence. Mixed-case Path keys are extended without creating a second PATH key. This covers the spawned-validator PATH cause described in the PR. (3) packages/opencode/test/install/bin-wrapper.test.ts and dbt-tools-on-path.test.ts: tests for the bin entry, the global install flow, and launcher PATH behavior. Tests support the changed behavior. postinstall.mjs, tool/bash.ts, and the standalone installers are unchanged or excluded, as the PR states. The assessment relies on the whole-PR change summary and the PR description. No diff hunks were read directly, and no unrelated change appears in the summary.

SUGGESTION: Duplicated PATH-setup block
This block is copied verbatim into bin/altimate-code, so the scriptDir / dbt-tools/bin precedence, the case-insensitive PATH key lookup, and the dedupe rule now live in two places and must be changed together. Both launchers already duplicate run() and findBinary(); a small shared helper (e.g. bin/env.cjs required via __dirname) would keep this new logic in sync and is still shippable because publish.ts copies the whole bin/ directory.
One factual note for the comment above: path.join(scriptDir, "..", "dbt-tools", "bin") is normalized, so on Windows the fallback directory only contains the extensionless Node shim (no .cmd). That is fine because the npm bin entry is the Windows path, but the fallback itself is effectively POSIX-only.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Fair point, and you’re right that publish.ts copies the whole bin/ folder, so a helper would ship. I kept it as a small altimate_change block in each launcher because these files track upstream opencode, and a shared module adds another file to reconcile on upstream merges. Happy to extract it into bin/env.cjs if maintainers prefer. The Windows note matches the description: the bin entry is the Windows path, and the fallback is effectively POSIX-only.

The incremental commit (944de23) makes the bundled tool dirs win over an older altimate-dbt already on PATH by prepending [...toolDirs, ...currentPath.filter((d) => !toolDirs.includes(d))]. I traced both launchers against the new bin-wrapper.test.ts case: with PATH=[stale, dbtToolsBin, ...rest] the old expression filtered dbtToolsBin out (it was already in currentPath) and left stale ahead of it, so altimate-dbt resolved to the stale script; the new expression emits [scriptDir, dbtToolsBin, stale, ...] and the stale copy is never executed, so the test genuinely fails without the fix and passes with it. The dedupe assertion still holds because scriptDir is realpath-normalized and path.join(scriptDir, "..", "dbt-tools", "bin") matches the realpath'd dbtToolsBin used by the test (including the macOS /var -> /private/var case). The publish.ts change is comment-only and stays inside its altimate_change marker, and the new test sits inside the existing marker block, so Marker Guard coverage is unaffected. No new correctness, security, Effect-await, race, cost, or injection issues in the changed lines.

The incremental commit resolves the earlier npm-timeout finding: npm pack, npm install -g, and the PATH run in test/install/dbt-tools-on-path.test.ts now pass timeout (120s / 30s), and the npm --version probe has a 10s cap. I verified the new bin-wrapper.test.ts case against the current launchers: with only a mixed-case Path key set and PATH absent, a case-sensitive lookup would leave Path untouched and put the tool dirs in a new PATH, so the test genuinely fails without the fix and passes with the case-insensitive Object.keys(env).find(...); dbtToolsBin is realpath-normalized on both sides, so the macOS /var → /private/var symlink case still matches. No new correctness, security, Effect-await, race, cost, or injection issues in the changed lines.

The fix itself is sound. I verified the shipped surface end to end: the launcher's env[PATH] reaches the compiled binary, and dbt-schema-verify / dbt-tests-pass spawn altimate-dbt with env: process.env (src/altimate/validators/dbt-schema-verify.ts:64), so the validator gap described in #982 is closed. path.join normalizes the scriptDir/../dbt-tools/bin fallback, so the negative assertion in bin-wrapper.test.ts is meaningful; and the --ignore-scripts e2e path matches what npm does (bin links are created without lifecycle scripts). No security, Effect-await, race, cost, or injection concerns in the changed lines.

The new PATH-setup block is duplicated verbatim in bin/altimate-code; extract to a shared bin/env.cjs helper so the precedence/dedupe logic stays in sync.
spawnSync("npm", ...) calls (pack, install -g, runFromPath) run without a timeout; a stalled npm blocks the test thread indefinitely since bun's timeout cannot interrupt a synchronous spawn. Other spawns in this suite use timeout: 10_000.
If one entry is commented out, the occurrence count still passes, but that manifest lacks altimate-dbt. The install tests use a separate manifest and cannot catch this regression. Assert the bin entry in each actual generated manifest.

Thanks for the reviews. Addressed in the latest commit:
npm timeouts (Kilo): every spawnSync in the global-install test now has a timeout (120s for npm pack/install, 30s for the PATH run), so a stalled npm fails instead of hanging.
Windows PATH handling (cubic): added a launcher test for both launchers where only a mixed-case Path key exists. It checks the launcher extends Path and doesn't create a second PATH. It fails without the fix. The ; delimiter comes from path.delimiter, so it can only be exercised on a Windows runner.
Windows end-to-end install (cubic): agreed it's a gap, but it needs a Windows CI runner; happy to help add one separately. On Windows the bin entry is the fix, and I checked npm's generated cmd-shim output for it (details in the description).
Shared launcher helper (Kilo): bin/altimate and bin/altimate-code are already near-identical standalone scripts published as-is, so I kept the block inline to avoid changing what gets published. Glad to extract it into a shared module if maintainers prefer.

EEXIST: added a note by the bin entry in publish.ts: if another package already owns a global altimate-dbt, npm stops with EEXIST, so remove or rename that shim (or use --force) before upgrading.
Windows fallback: I left this as is. On Windows the bin entry is the fix, since npm generates altimate-dbt.cmd even with --ignore-scripts. The dbt-tools/bin fallback only matters when both postinstall and npm's own bin linking are skipped. I'd rather not ship an untested .cmd shim without a Windows runner, but happy to add one if you'd like.

[🟠 MEDIUM] On Windows, this fallback may not fully achieve the intended shadowing protection for Node's spawn (e.g., in the dbt-schema-verify validator).
Node's child_process.spawn on Windows requires an executable extension (like .cmd or .exe) to resolve commands. Since dbtToolsBin only contains the extensionless altimate-dbt script, spawn("altimate-dbt") will skip this directory and continue searching down the PATH.
As a result, if postinstall is skipped on Windows, dbt-schema-verify could still fail with ENOENT or erroneously execute an older altimate-dbt.cmd located further down the PATH.
(Note: The agent's built-in bash terminal is unaffected because bash handles shebangs natively and does not require extensions.)

Good catch, but I think the gap sits in the validator rather than the PATH setup, and it predates this PR. dbt-schema-verify calls spawn("altimate-dbt", …) without a shell. On Windows, Node’s spawn only resolves .exe/.com (not .cmd), and recent Node versions refuse to launch .cmd without shell: true. So a .cmd in dbt-tools/bin wouldn’t be picked up, npm’s own altimate-dbt.cmd shim isn’t either, and an older .cmd further down PATH wouldn’t run. I haven’t verified how the Bun-compiled binary behaves on Windows, since I don’t have a Windows machine. If it’s useful, I can open a follow-up that makes the validator Windows-safe (spawn via the shell on win32, or invoke the dbt-tools script with node directly) so this PR stays focused on PATH. Happy to do whichever you prefer.

Fail the test when the npm probe times out.
If npm --version takes more than 10 seconds, the probe can time out and HAS_NPM becomes false. The global-install tests then skip even though npm is installed. Distinguish a timeout from an unavailable npm executable and fail on timeout.

Apologies, I missed the maintainer comment on #982 (original failure fixed by the Node upgrade; altimate-dbt is intentionally not a public bin), so closing this. For the record, the one case I could still reproduce on v0.12.10 is when install scripts are skipped (--ignore-scripts or pnpm/bun script allow-lists): postinstall never links altimate-dbt into bin/, so the agent cannot find it. Happy to open a small separate fix for that if useful. Thanks for the reviews!

Closes #982
Type of change
What does this PR do?
After
npm install -g altimate-code,altimate-dbtoften isn't available. The agent then falls back to plaindbtand loses the manifest-aware tools (schema-verify, lineage, execute).There are two causes:
script/publish.tsonly declaresaltimateandaltimate-codeasbinentries.altimate-dbtonly reaches the package'sbin/throughpostinstall.mjs, so it's missing whenever install scripts don't run:--ignore-scripts, pnpm/bun script allow-lists, or locked-down CI.ALTIMATE_BIN_DIR). The dbt-schema-verify validator spawnsaltimate-dbtwith the app's own PATH, so it couldn't find it even when postinstall did run.The fix:
script/publish.ts: declare"altimate-dbt": "./dbt-tools/bin/altimate-dbt"in both generatedbinmaps. Package managers linkbinentries without running scripts, and npm creates the Windows.cmd/.ps1shims.bin/altimateandbin/altimate-code: prepend the packagebin/to the app's PATH. Also prepend../dbt-tools/binwhen postinstall didn't linkaltimate-dbt. Everything the app spawns inherits this, including the validators. It usespath.delimiter, finds the PATH key case-insensitively (Pathon Windows), and doesn't add duplicate entries.postinstall.mjsandtool/bash.tsare unchanged.How did you verify your code works?
test/install/dbt-tools-on-path.test.tschecks the publishbinentries. It also runs an end-to-endnpm packandnpm install -g --ignore-scripts, then runsaltimate-dbt doctorfrom PATH. That test has a control without the fix, and apostinstallthat exits 1 to prove scripts never ran.test/install/bin-wrapper.test.tscovers both launchers: the fallback, the postinstall-linked case, and no duplicate PATH entries. Without the fix, the publish test and 4 launcher tests fail.bun test test/install/ test/tool/bash.test.ts test/altimate/validators/: 1,091 pass, 0 fail.tsgo --noEmitis clean.npm install -g --prefix <dir> --ignore-scripts:bin/has onlyaltimateandaltimate-code. In Builder mode, the agent'swhich altimate-dbtgivesaltimate-dbt not found.bin/also hasaltimate-dbt, andaltimate-dbt doctorpasses in a dbt + DuckDB project. In Builder mode, the agent'swhich altimate-dbtresolves to.../altimate-code/dbt-tools/bin/altimate-dbtthrough the launcher fallback.cmd-shimoutput for the new bin: the.cmdand.ps1shims both runnode <path>/dbt-tools/bin/altimate-dbt. Thedbt-tools/binfallback has no.cmd, so on Windows thebinentry is the fix.Cost side effects
None. It changes package metadata and PATH setup at launch, and adds no model calls, queries or cloud resources.
Screenshots / recordings
N/A (not a UI change).
Checklist
Out of scope: the standalone installers (
install,install.ps1) don't appear to shipaltimate-dbtat all, which may be worth a separate look.I diagnosed and patched this with help from Claude, and verified the behavior myself as described above.
Summary by cubic
Makes
altimate-dbtavailable afternpm install -g altimate-code, with or without lifecycle scripts, and on the PATH for everything the app spawns.Previously
altimate-dbtonly reached the package'sbin/throughpostinstall.mjs, so it was missing when install scripts were skipped (--ignore-scripts, pnpm/bun allow-lists, locked-down CI), and the dbt-schema-verify validator spawnedaltimate-dbtwith the app's own PATH, which never included it. The agent then silently fell back to plaindbt, losing schema-verify, lineage, and execute. Now the publishedpackage.jsondeclaresaltimate-dbtas a bin (so package managers link it without running scripts), and both launchers put the packagebin/and the bundleddbt-tools/binfallback at the front of the app's PATH, ahead of any existing entry, case-insensitively and without duplicates.Bug Fixes
altimate-dbtas a bin in both generatedpackage.jsonfiles inscript/publish.ts; npm also creates the Windows.cmd/.ps1shims. If another package already owns a globalaltimate-dbt, npm stops with EEXIST; remove or rename that shim or install with--force.bin/altimateandbin/altimate-codeso validators and the agent inherit them, falling back todbt-tools/binwhen postinstall didn't linkaltimate-dbt. The dirs are moved ahead of the existing PATH, so an olderaltimate-dbtcan't shadow the bundled one.--ignore-scriptsflow and the launcher PATH handling for both wrappers; npm calls are time-bounded so a stalled registry fails instead of hanging CI, and the launcher extends a mixed-casePathkey rather than adding a secondPATH.Written for commit 944de23. Summary will update on new commits.
Summary by CodeRabbit
altimate-dbtcommand is now available from both package variants, including after a global installation that skips install scripts.altimate-dbtexecutable when a post-install link is unavailable. The launcher prioritizes the relevant tool directories, avoids duplicate entries, and preserves existingPATHsettings.
