Problem

The canonical consumer launcher is one line: import { runPrepareMergeDriver } from "pm-ops/merge-driver". But pm-ops is a devDependency. A source checkout installed with npm install --omit=dev (scripts enabled) runs prepare, cannot resolve pm-ops, and fails with ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND before any fallback can run. Three AI reviews raised it (CodeRabbit on unbraind/pm-web#156, Greptile on unbraind/pm-slack-standup#89 and unbraind/pm-changelog#207). Registry installs, npx and bunx are unaffected, because npm never runs prepare for them. Dynamic import() is not an option: the fleet lint gate forbids it.

Fix

  • A new exported entry, pm-ops/merge-driver/prepare, runs runPrepareMergeDriver() and sets the exit code.
  • templates/prepare-merge-driver.ts is shipped in the package and is the canonical consumer launcher. It imports only Node builtins, resolves that entry from the package root (where npm runs prepare), and runs it in a child process.
    • pm-ops not installed: exits 0 with exactly one notice.
    • pm-ops too old to export the entry, or entry file missing: fails loudly and never skips.
    • Failing pm merge install: its status propagates. An installer killed by a signal exits 1.
  • The README documents the template and why it must not import pm-ops.

Evidence

  • test/merge-driver-launcher.test.ts runs the shipped template in place against each consumer layout, with a stub pm on PATH recording its arguments. 7 cases pass.
  • Mutation checks:
    • The old static-import launcher fails the omit-dev test and the stale-pm-ops test.
    • A catch that swallows every error fails the stale-pm-ops test.
    • An any added to the template fails lint.
  • npm run release:check: exit 0. Coverage is 100/100/100/100, including the template and the new entry, and duplication is 0%.

Rollout

After the next pm-ops release, each fleet repository copies the template unchanged to scripts/prepare-merge-driver.ts in its next pm-ops pin bump. That's tracked in hub item pm-cli-website-xy19.

pm items

  • ops-mqdi: guarded merge-driver launcher for omit-dev clone installs.

Summary by Sourcery

Ship a guarded merge-driver prepare launcher that allows omit-dev installs to complete while detecting invalid installed pm-ops versions and preserving installer failures.

New Features:

  • Add a published pm-ops/merge-driver/prepare executable entry for consumer prepare hooks.
  • Ship a dependency-free prepare launcher template that safely handles omitted, stale, and failing pm-ops installations.

Bug Fixes:

  • Prevent source checkouts installed with npm install --omit=dev from failing before merge-driver fallback handling can run.
  • Ensure missing or outdated installed pm-ops versions fail loudly while propagating merge-install failures, including signal termination.

Enhancements:

  • Document the canonical launcher template and its installation behavior for consumers.

Documentation:

  • Update merge-driver setup documentation to use the shipped guarded launcher template.

Tests:

  • Add integration coverage for the shipped launcher across absent, current, stale, incomplete, and failing consumer installations.

Chores:

  • Track the guarded merge-driver launcher work in project planning metadata.

Summary by cubic

Fixes clone installs run with npm install --omit=dev failing during prepare, because the consumer launcher statically imported pm-ops/merge-driver, a devDependency that omit-dev installs don't ship.

  • Adds a new pm-ops/merge-driver/prepare entry that runs runPrepareMergeDriver() and sets the exit code.
  • Ships templates/prepare-merge-driver.ts as the canonical consumer launcher; it imports only Node builtins and runs the entry in a child process.
  • Only an absent pm-ops package exits 0 with one notice; any installed pm-ops that is too old, lacks the entry, or has no exports map fails loudly, and a failing pm merge install propagates its status.
  • Documents the template and the import restriction in the README.

Written for commit a088ef3. Summary will update on new commits.

Reviewer's Guide

The PR ships a Node-builtin-only consumer template that safely handles omitted devDependencies by resolving pm-ops from the package root and spawning its exported prepare entry, while failing loudly for stale or broken installations and preserving installer status. It publishes the new subpath, updates documentation and package contents, and adds end-to-end coverage for the key install and process-boundary scenarios.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a canonical npm prepare launcher for registering pm merge drivers.
    • Supports installs with development dependencies omitted by safely skipping when pm-ops is unavailable.
    • Added a published pm-ops/merge-driver/prepare entry point and included the launcher template in package contents.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Merge-driver installation failures now propagate clearly instead of being silently ignored.
  • Documentation

    • Updated setup instructions with the new launcher template and installation behavior.

Walkthrough

The package now publishes a guarded merge-driver prepare entry and consumer launcher template. The launcher handles omitted, current, stale, and failing pm-ops installations. New fixture tests and coverage entries validate the flow.

Changes

Merge-driver launcher

Layer / File(s) Summary
Published entry and guarded launcher
package.json, merge-driver-prepare.ts, templates/prepare-merge-driver.ts, README.md, .agents/pm/...
The package exports pm-ops/merge-driver/prepare and ships the launcher template. The template resolves the entry from the package root, skips when pm-ops is absent, and propagates resolution or command failures. Documentation and issue records describe the launcher contract.
Launcher fixtures and coverage validation
test/merge-driver-launcher.test.ts, test/coverage-gate.test.ts
Tests cover omitted, current, stale, missing-entry, failing-command, signal, and missing-pm states. Coverage fixtures include both new source files.

Repositories with an older installed pm-ops version can complete installation without registering merge drivers. Distinguish a missing package from a missing entry before merging.

absence by probing pm-ops/package.json, which fails with MODULE_NOT_FOUND

@sourcery-ai
sourcery-ai Bot dismissed their stale review September 22, 2026 21:12

Sourcery withdrew this approval because the latest commits introduced blocking findings.

The canonical consumer launcher statically imported pm-ops/merge-driver, but
pm-ops is a devDependency: a source checkout installed with
npm install --omit=dev (scripts enabled) failed in prepare with
ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND before any fallback could run. Dynamic import() is
forbidden by the fleet lint gate.

- New exported entry pm-ops/merge-driver/prepare runs runPrepareMergeDriver.
- templates/prepare-merge-driver.ts (shipped in the package) imports only
  node builtins, resolves that entry from the package root and runs it in a
  child process. It skips with one notice only when the pm-ops package is
  missing; a pm-ops without the export, a missing entry file, a failing
  pm merge install and a signal-killed installer all fail the install.
- test/merge-driver-launcher.test.ts runs the shipped template in place
  against each consumer layout with a stub pm on PATH (7 cases). Mutants
  (the old static import; a catch that swallows every error) each fail.

Raised by CodeRabbit on pm-web#156 and Greptile on pm-slack-standup#89 and
pm-changelog#207 (hub pm-cli-website-xy19).
