Local Development

pnpm install
pnpm build
pnpm test
pnpm typecheck

Standalone UI is now in apps/grab-bcv-ui and consumes the published grab-bcv package.

Production Readiness

• Node.js 18+ is required.
• CI runs on push and pull requests via GitHub Actions.
• prepack enforces build + typecheck + tests before publish.
• npm publishing supports both local deploy scripts and GitHub Actions (with provenance).

Deploy

1. Publish npm package: pnpm run deploy:npm.
   • Runs prepack first, bumps patch only when local matches npm latest, then publishes.
   • If publish fails after an automatic bump, the bump is reverted.
   • For npm accounts with 2FA auth-and-writes and passkeys, use a token with bypass_2fa=true:
     • NPM_TOKEN=... pnpm run deploy:npm
   • OTP fallback:
     • NPM_OTP=123456 pnpm run deploy:npm
2. Publish + deploy UI in lockstep: pnpm run deploy:stack.
   • Requires a clean git working tree (use --allow-dirty to bypass).
   • Publishes grab-bcv to npm.
   • Waits for npm registry propagation of the published version.
   • Syncs all consumer manifests under apps/* to grab-bcv@^<published-version>.
   • Refreshes root and app-local lockfiles (including --ignore-workspace refresh for app lockfiles).
   • Builds + deploys apps/grab-bcv-ui.
3. Sync consumers without deploying:
   • pnpm run sync:consumers
   • Useful after manual publish or when only dependency/lockfile updates are needed.

Notes

• Book aliases use exact matching first, then conservative fuzzy fallback for common misspellings.
• Ambiguous short aliases return null.
