@amodalai/snapshot-probe

Release pipeline smoke-test package. Exists purely to exercise the publish workflows end-to-end so we can tell whether a release ran correctly without using a real published package as the canary.

You probably don't want to install this. It exports nothing useful. It's here so that:

• Every normal monorepo release publishes this package alongside the real ones, proving the fixed-group lockstep and the NPM_TOKEN setup still work.
• The snapshot release workflow (.github/workflows/release-snapshot.yml) can publish a prerelease of this package from a feat branch and we can check npm view @amodalai/snapshot-probe dist-tags to see whether the snapshot tag made it through.

Why a dedicated probe instead of relying on @amodalai/core

@amodalai/core is a real package consumed by production code. If a release breaks it (either content-wise or pipeline-wise), rolling back requires real thought. snapshot-probe has zero consumers, so a bad release of it can be ignored and the next release fixes it. This keeps the release pipeline's success signal decoupled from the production packages' code quality.

How to use it as a liveness check

import { SNAPSHOT_PROBE } from "@amodalai/snapshot-probe";
console.log(SNAPSHOT_PROBE);
// → "@amodalai/snapshot-probe@release-pipeline-smoke-test"

That's it. The package has no other exports.
