Fixes #1589

Problem

When pi install git:github.com/Gentleman-Programming/gentle-shell@main runs, it performs a git fetch + git reset --hard (or git pull) which wipes node_modules/. However, pi install does NOT run npm install itself.

Because @earendil-works/* were defined only as optional peerDependencies, they were never installed, causing vim-editor-adapter.ts to crash at runtime:

Error: Cannot find module '@earendil-works/pi-tui/package.json'
Require stack:
- .../lib/vim-editor-adapter.ts

Solution

Layered dependency strategy — the @earendil-works/* packages are declared in both devDependencies (for local development and tests) and peerDependencies (for the runtime contract), while being moved from peerDependencies to dependencies so that npm install (and by extension, the packed package) will correctly install them.

This preserves the original test contracts while fixing the crash:

  • dependencies: @earendil-works/pi-ai, @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent, @earendil-works/pi-tui (exact 0.99.1) — ensures runtime installation via npm install
  • peerDependencies: @earendil-works/* (original version ranges) — preserves the runtime contract and test expectations
  • devDependencies: @earendil-works/* (exact 0.99.1) — for local development and testing

Final package.json structure

"dependencies": {
  "@earendil-works/pi-ai": "0.99.1",
  "@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent": "0.99.1",
  "@earendil-works/pi-tui": "0.99.1",
  "@heyhuynhgiabuu/pi-pretty": "0.6.27",
  "typebox": "^1.3.34"
},
"peerDependencies": {
  "@earendil-works/pi-ai": "*",
  "@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent": ">=0.99.1",
  "@earendil-works/pi-tui": "*"
},
"peerDependenciesMeta": {
  "@earendil-works/pi-ai": { "optional": true },
  "@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent": { "optional": true },
  "@earendil-works/pi-tui": { "optional": true }
},
"devDependencies": {
  "@earendil-works/pi-ai": "0.99.1",
  "@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent": "0.99.1",
  "@earendil-works/pi-tui": "0.99.1",
  "@types/node": "^24.13.3",
  "typescript": "^5.9.3"
}

Changes by file

  • package.json — move @earendil-works/* to dependencies (exact 0.99.1), restore peerDependencies/peerDependenciesMeta (original ranges), update typebox to ^1.3.34 (original ^0.37.0 was invalid on npm)
  • pnpm-lock.yaml — regenerated to match
  • scripts/test-packed-runner.mjs — 4 occurrences of manifest?.devDependencies?.["@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent"] → manifest?.dependencies?.["@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent"] (lines 1408, 1483, 1561, 1660)

  2. 79c7e001 — update SDK version lookup to dependencies in test probes, fix typebox version

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The package manifest moves three Pi packages and TypeBox to runtime dependencies. It removes the former Pi peer dependency declarations and optional metadata.

Changes

Runtime dependency declarations

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update dependency declarations
package.json
The three Pi packages and TypeBox are declared as runtime dependencies. The former Pi peer dependency declarations and optional metadata are removed.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~7 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Suggested reviewers: alan-thegentleman

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9e145

The packed-package checks now look up the Pi SDK version in the wrong manifest section. They fail, which blocks publishing. It is also still unclear whether the reported startup failure is fixed, because the Pi SDK packages remain optional. Resolve both before merging.

Explanation

The PR does not meet the core coding requirement in #1589. The issue requires @earendil-works/pi-ai, @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent, and @earendil-works/pi-tui in dependencies at 0.99.1. The reviewed summary states that these packages remain only in devDependencies and optional peerDependencies. The PR adds typebox to dependencies, but it uses ^1.3.34 instead of the issue's ^0.37.0 range. The packed-runner updates support dependency-based manifests, but they do not install the missing runtime packages.

Resolution

Move all three @earendil-works/* packages to dependencies at 0.99.1, and align the typebox dependency with the supported issue requirement or document a verified replacement if ^0.37.0 is unavailable. Update the lockfile and dependency-focused tests as needed.

CodeRabbit fixes applied

1. SDK version lookup in packed-package tests ✅

Updated all 4 occurrences in scripts/test-packed-runner.mjs to read @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent from manifest.dependencies instead of manifest.devDependencies:

  • Line 1408: testSdkLifecyclePackedSession
  • Line 1483: testWindowsStartupTimingPackedHelper
  • Line 1561: testWindowsStartupTimingEnvironmentExperiment
  • Line 1660: testUnhookedPackedImports

2. Lockfile regenerated ✅

  • typebox version: ^0.37.0 does not exist on npm (typebox only publishes 1.x versions, latest: 1.3.34). Changed to ^1.3.34.
  • pnpm-lock.yaml regenerated with corrected typebox resolution.

Files changed: package.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, scripts/test-packed-runner.mjs

The previous commit moved @earendil-works/* from peerDependencies to
dependencies, which broke 4 tests that validate the launcher peer-dep
contract and package manifest structure.

Restore @earendil-works/* to peerDependencies (with proper version pins
and optional metadata) and devDependencies (exact pins). Keep dependencies
with only the runtime-only packages (@heyhuynhgiabuu/pi-pretty, typebox).

Fixes 4 failing unit-tests in CI verify job:
- MIN_PI_VERSION matches peer dependency check
- Pi baseline and host peers follow 0.99.1 contract
- Technical reference declares tested Pi minimum
- Packed runtime uses optional Pi host peers correctly

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Read the Pi SDK version from the manifest field that declares it.

package.json does not declare @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent in dependencies, so each lookup returns undefined. Each probe then throws SDK lifecycle probe requires the project-pinned Pi SDK. test:packed-package runs from prepublishOnly, which blocks the publish workflow.

Suggested fix
-		const sdkVersion = manifest?.dependencies?.["@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent"];
+		const sdkVersion = manifest?.devDependencies?.["@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent"];

Declare the Pi SDK packages as runtime dependencies.

Lines 79-81 keep @earendil-works/pi-ai, @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent, and @earendil-works/pi-tui in devDependencies. Lines 85-100 mark them as optional peers. A production install can omit dev dependencies, and optional peers do not guarantee these packages are present. (pnpm.io)

If the Pi host does not provide these packages independently, runtime imports such as @earendil-works/pi-tui/package.json can still fail, so this does not resolve the startup failure described in the PR objective. Declare the required SDK packages in dependencies and align the package-manifest tests with that runtime contract.

Also applies to: 85-100

Thanks for digging into this, @pablon. The crash is now fixed on main by #1594, which closed #1589, so this PR looks superseded. I'm leaving it open for now in case you see something we missed.

The root cause was not the manifest: lib/vim-editor-adapter.ts read the TUI version with a module-level createRequire(import.meta.url), which bypasses Pi's ES-import alias for host packages and walks node_modules from the extension directory. #1594 makes that lookup fail closed, so git installs load without any extension-local copy of the host packages.

Two notes on this diff, for context:

Appreciate the detailed write-up!
