🛠 Development

• npm run start:src — dev server for the src/ test project
• npm run build — regenerate lib/ from src/ and re-sync packages/*

📦 Publishing

Each package publishes independently to npm. The release:* scripts auto-bump the patch version (e.g. 0.5.65 → 0.5.66) and publish — no manual version edits needed. The bump is not auto-committed, so it lands in your working tree alongside whatever changes triggered the release.

| Command | Package | Path | |---|---|---| | npm run release | mnfst | (root) | | npm run release:run | mnfst-run | packages/run/ | | npm run release:render | mnfst-render | packages/render/ | | npm run release:publish | mnfst-publish | packages/publish/ | | npm run release:types | mnfst-types | packages/types/ | | npm run release:starter | mnfst-starter | packages/create-starter/ |

Run only the scripts whose package you actually changed (npm run release:all publishes everything).

For a minor or major bump, run npm version minor (or major) inside the relevant package directory before publishing:

cd packages/render
npm version minor --no-git-tag-version
npm publish --auth-type=web

After publishing, commit the version bump(s) along with your changes and push.
