feat: the public @ekklesia package release train, built, reproduced, and proven (ADR 0053)
Produces the exact public package tarballs of a platform release, validates
them, and proves a standalone module consumes those artifacts end to end.
Nothing is published and no credential is configured.

- scripts/package-release.ts (pnpm packages:release) is the canonical
  release builder: from a clean commit it rebuilds the nine public
  packages from clean output, packs each, inspects every tarball, checks
  the release set and coordinated versions, and only then writes
  ekklesia-packages-<version>/ with the tarballs, SHA256SUMS, and a
  provider-neutral manifest (ekklesia-package-train.json: version,
  revision, and each package's file, size, SHA-256, npm integrity).
- Packing uses a pack-only pnpm beforePacking hook (passed with
  --config.pnpmfile, never the workspace's install settings). pnpm inserts
  rewritten workspace: dependencies in async completion order, so two
  checkouts of one commit packed module-pack's package.json with keys in a
  different order; the hook restores the source key order (and the
  inspection enforces it). It also drops devDependencies, which named
  private packages outside the train.
- scripts/test-package-release.sh (pnpm test:package-release, the CI
  package-release gate) builds the train twice, the second time from a
  separate worktree, requires byte-identical release directories, then
  runs the standalone consumer proof on the release: manifest checked,
  offline install from the tarballs only, lockfile integrity equal to the
  manifest's, frozen-lockfile reinstall, no Drizzle, one React, contracts
  only transitive, every @ekklesia package and module-pack at the release
  version, skipLibCheck: false, UI build, pack, and Core verification.
- docs/development/releases.md documents the release order, the train,
  the artifacts, and the reproducibility findings; registry publication
  remains unimplemented.
- ADR 0053 is Accepted: everything it decides that does not need a
  registry is now proven, and registry provisioning is on its own
  Deferred list.

CLAUDE.md

Guidance for Claude Code (and other coding agents) working in this repository. This file is intentionally short and durable — it points at authoritative sources instead of restating their contents, because restated details drift.

What this repository is

Ekklesia is a modular, self-hosted church platform built as a strictly layered pnpm/TypeScript monorepo:

  • Core (core/) owns platform infrastructure: identity, database connectivity, migration execution, module discovery/lifecycle, and other feature-agnostic services. Core never imports a feature module, a surface, or an app.
  • Modules (modules/*, template at templates/module) are independently versioned product packages. They own their own data and migrations, declare capabilities/permissions through @ekklesia/contracts and @ekklesia/module-sdk, and must never import Core, another module, or a surface directly. Per ADR 0021 a module owns its UI; manifest v7 permits independently optional primary and full-viewport display artifacts, authored in React against the same role-neutral @ekklesia/module-ui-sdk ABI. Ekklesia mounts each through a separate surface role, while pnpm boundaries still rejects every non-React UI framework and non-.tsx presentation source.
  • Surfaces (surfaces/*) own the containing application shell, navigation, and every presentation concern a module does not. They consume public API/client contracts only, never Core or module internals directly.

These boundaries are enforced by pnpm boundaries (scripts/check-boundaries.ts), not just documented. Read docs/architecture/repository-boundaries.md and docs/architecture/platform-architecture.md before proposing any change that crosses a layer.

ADRs are authoritative

docs/architecture/decisions/ records durable architectural decisions. Accepted ADRs are immutable except for status and cross-reference corrections — do not edit their content to fit a new change. A changed decision gets a new ADR that supersedes the old one. Read the full ADR index (docs/architecture/decisions/README.md) and every ADR relevant to the area you are touching before designing a change; do not assume this file's summary of any decision is complete or current.

Read before you design

At minimum, read the current versions of:

  • docs/architecture/decisions/README.md and every ADR relevant to your change
  • docs/architecture/platform-architecture.md and docs/architecture/repository-boundaries.md
  • README.md (current platform status — what is and is not implemented)
  • docs/development/repository-workflow.md and docs/development/testing.md
  • CONTRIBUTING.md

These files change as the platform evolves. Inspect the actual current repository state (source, tests, package.json scripts, CI workflow) before relying on anything in this file or in your own memory of a prior session — treat stale assumptions as a bug to catch, not a shortcut.

Working conventions

  • Work on a clean branch off an up-to-date main; never commit or push directly to main; never change branch-protection settings.
  • Keep PRs focused on one bounded slice. Record major architectural changes in an ADR rather than burying them in an implementation.
  • Add or update tests when you change a contract or architectural rule. New behavior needs new test coverage, not just a passing existing suite.
  • Errors that reach a user, log, CLI, or pnpm doctor output must be sanitized: never expose secrets, connection strings, raw SQL, raw driver/exception messages, stack traces, causes, or machine-specific paths. Match the sanitization pattern already used by core/src/migrations/runner.ts and core/src/diagnostics/doctor.ts rather than inventing a new one.
  • Never run a database migration automatically (on import, on startup, in a test that isn't explicitly a migration test, or as a side effect of an unrelated command). Migrations are always an explicit, operator-invoked action.

Canonical verification commands

Run from the repository root; package.json is the source of truth if this list and the file ever disagree:

  • pnpm verify — the full code-only gate (format, lint, boundaries, typecheck, tests, module and migration validation, identity schema drift check, build). Docker-free; never touches a live database.
  • pnpm test:migrations:integration — live, disposable-PostgreSQL evidence: migration discovery, planning, and execution, plus the apps/api HTTP transport (signup, sign-in, principal resolution, sign-out). Requires Docker. Run this for any change touching either area.
  • pnpm test:package-release — builds the public @ekklesia/* package train, proves it reproducible, and proves a standalone module consumes exactly those tarballs. Publishes nothing. Run it for any change to the public packages or their release tooling.
  • pnpm doctor — read-only local readiness report. Never treat it as a substitute for pnpm verify or the integration suite.
  • pnpm migrations:plan / pnpm migrations:apply — read-only planning vs. mutating execution against DATABASE_URL. Never run migrations:apply without the user's explicit intent.
  • pnpm api:start — starts the identity HTTP transport against an already-migrated DATABASE_URL. It never applies migrations itself. Never run it without the user's explicit intent.

When you're unsure

If a task would require weakening an existing ADR's guarantee, introducing a second mechanism where one already exists (a second migration runner, a second discovery path, a second config system), or exposing something the boundary checker currently blocks, stop and surface the conflict instead of working around it.
