Fixes#882 — npm install -g gsd-pi installing a broken version where
@gsd/pi-coding-agent cannot be resolved, causing ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND.
Root causes addressed:
1. On Windows without Developer Mode or admin rights, symlinkSync fails
even for NTFS junctions, leaving node_modules/@gsd/ empty and causing
a cryptic ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND instead of a usable error message.
2. If npm latest dist-tag is stale (pointing to an old version that
predates the packages/ directory), users get the same failure.
Changes:
- src/loader.ts: after symlinking, validate @gsd/pi-coding-agent exists;
emit a clear actionable error with reinstall instructions instead of
letting Node throw ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND deep inside cli.js. Also adds
cpSync fallback when symlinkSync fails (Windows without elevated perms).
- scripts/link-workspace-packages.cjs: same cpSync fallback — ensures
postinstall succeeds on restricted Windows environments.
- scripts/validate-pack.js: verify @gsd/* packages are resolvable after
the isolated install test, and run `gsd -v` to confirm end-to-end
resolution before declaring the pack valid.
- .github/workflows/build-native.yml: add post-publish dist-tag
verification step that confirms npm dist-tags.latest matches the
published version for stable releases, catching stale-tag regressions
in CI before users encounter them.
- Extract duplicated help text from loader.ts and cli.ts into shared
help-text.ts module (single source of truth)
- Convert validate-pack.sh to Node.js for Windows compatibility
- Fix dev.js using unnecessary npx for tsc (it's a devDependency,
use node_modules/.bin/tsc directly)
