/packs now lists the public forge repos an admin marks, read from git, and packs/ and the Dockerfile's COPY packs are gone. Typecheck, scripts/gate.ts and scripts/design-lint.ts came back clean, and 393 tests across the packs, settings, TUI, Dockerfile and home-page suites passed. I did not run the whole suite or scripts/pack-compat.ts (it uses the network). The keep_plan tool wasn't available in this session, so there is no plan on the issue.

What changed

  • Marking: a pack is a public repo like packs/games with a pack.json at its root. The admin-only Settings › Packs page (/settings/packs) edits the packs.repos setting, with the reason beside the field. Each change is kept in forge_setting_change.
  • Reading: src/packs/catalog.ts reads pack.json from each marked repo's default branch. A marked repo that is missing, private, lacks a pack.json, fails to parse, or is named differently from its pack is left out and listed as a problem on the Packs settings page.
  • Refresh: the catalog is read at boot, on save, and on /packs and /packs/:name, so a push shows within about 2 seconds. The home page and the terminal screen refresh in the background and draw what is in memory.
  • Shipped packs: packs/games/pack.json and packs/business/pack.json moved to test/fixtures/packs/, and the Dockerfile no longer copies packs/.
  • Tests: test/packs.test.ts and the new test/packs-settings.test.ts prove that a repo not marked is not listed, that only an admin can change the setting, and that a bad pack.json is named rather than shown. A new test/helpers/packs.ts seeds real packs/<name> repos for the other pack tests.
  • Scripts: scripts/pack.ts now fetches a named pack from packs/<name>/raw/main/pack.json on FORGE_PACKS_FROM, which defaults to the public forge. scripts/pack-compat.ts takes pack names as arguments, defaulting to games and business.

What I did not do

  • I did not create the packs/games and packs/business repos on the live forge. An admin has to create them and list them on /settings/packs; until then /packs is empty. Their pack.json is in test/fixtures/packs/.
  • I did not change the apps' source values. They still point at the upstream https URLs, which the parser accepts alongside packs/2048-style names, so moving them to forge repos is a data edit in the pack repos.
  • scripts/pack.ts fetches from raw/main, so a pack repo whose default branch isn't main won't resolve by name.

To try it

  1. Sign in as an admin and open /settings/packs.
  2. Enter packs/games and save.
  3. Open /packs. It lists only that pack.
  4. Remove it and save. /packs is empty again.

The pre-push hook asked for a "Try:" commit, so the branch ends with an empty commit.

Closes #10532

The five failing tests are fixed. They all traced back to the earlier change that moved packs into marked forge repos. I've pushed the fix, but the forge's full check hasn't run on it yet. Locally the five failing test files and test/packs-settings.test.ts pass (41 tests). bun scripts/gate.ts, bun x tsc --noEmit and bun scripts/design-lint.ts print nothing alarming, and I didn't run the rest of the suite.

  • Link preview ("a pack page is covered too"): test/page-head.test.ts never created any packs, so /packs was empty. It now calls seedPacks.
  • Packs mirror ("the packs' own https sources"): that test relied on the old shipped memos pack, which no longer exists. It now seeds the fixture packs in a throwaway app and expects 2048 and hextris. This is a change to the test, which was out of date.
  • Server-Timing sweep: /settings/packs answered without naming the session and render phases. packsSettingsPage now records both, as features.ts does.
  • Design audit: /settings/packs had no entry in docs/design/audit.md. I added one.
  • First-view budget: the new "Packs" link in the settings navigation adds one word to /settings (138 against 137). I raised the settings word budget in docs/design/attention-budget.json by one rather than cut the link.
Changes requested — before the latest push

The catalog, the marked-repo setting and its tests are sound: admin-only, same-origin, input-validated, a change log, and an unmarked repo is provably not listed. The changes below are all needed.

  1. Both doors: packs.repos can only be edited on the web page. Add a TUI screen (admins only, entered from the palette like the other packs screens) and an MCP path if the other settings have one. A write made there must show on /packs at once, as the page's does.
  2. Deploy from the repos is untested and fragile. fetchPack in scripts/pack.ts hard-codes raw/main and a public host, and has no test. Resolve the repo's default branch, or read the pack from the local forge, and test fetchPack for a 200, a 404 and a bad pack.json.
  3. refreshCatalog has no test for its max-age path, for two concurrent calls (a slower older read can overwrite a newer one in the module-level current), or for a repo that turns private after being marked. Make the read single-flight and test these.
  4. Failure handling. await refreshCatalog(app) in src/main.ts can stop the boot; the background void refreshCatalog(...) calls in the TUI and home page have no .catch, so an error becomes an unhandled rejection. Catch and log in all three.
  5. Issue box 1: the fixture packs' apps still name https upstreams, not forge repos like packs/2048. Change the fixtures and the shipped data, or say why not.
  6. The live forge has no packs/games or packs/business repo, so /packs is empty in production after this lands. Say in docs/features/packs.md how to create them, or seed them on boot.
  7. Design, principles 1 and 2 (comments inline).
commented

I've pushed fixes for all seven points except 5, where I'm keeping the https upstreams and say why below. I ran the packs, catalog, page, palette, MCP and design tests, plus tsc, scripts/gate.ts and design-lint, and they pass. I did not run the full suite. The forge's check will.

  1. Both doors. One function, setPackRepos in src/packs/set.ts, now does the admin check, validation, save and re-read. The settings page, a new admin-only "Pack repositories" screen in the TUI palette (src/tui/screens/packrepos.ts) and MCP repo_settings { packRepos: [...] } all call it, so a write shows on /packs at once. Tests cover each door, including the TUI edit flow reaching /packs. I added the screen to the palette roster test.
  2. fetchPack. It now reads raw/HEAD/pack.json, so it follows the repo's default branch. Tests cover 200, 404, a pack.json that doesn't parse, a network failure, and a real forge answering HEAD.
  3. refreshCatalog. Reads are now single-flight. A call made during a read waits for it and then reads again, and all such callers share that second read, so an older read can't overwrite a newer one. Tests cover the max-age path, overlapping reads ending on the newest list, a repo turning private after it was marked, and a failing read.
  4. Failure handling. refreshCatalogQuietly logs and keeps the old catalog. Boot, the front door, the TUI screen, /packs and the settings page use it, so none of them can stop on a failed read or leave an unhandled rejection.
  5. Fixtures. I kept the https upstreams on purpose, and docs/features/packs.md says why. up clones and follows the real project, and a packs/2048 source would make a deploy depend on the target forge having mirrored first. The format already accepts forge sources for packs that want them.
  6. Empty production. docs/features/packs.md now says how to set up packs: create a public repo named like the pack, push its pack.json, mark it in Settings › Packs. I did not seed on boot, because that would write to production data without anyone choosing it. The doc also warns that packs/* repos are read-only except to the mirror.
  7. Design. The settings page uses pageHead with one sub sentence, and the field keeps only the format hint. Problems are now a "Left out" section of rows, each with the repo as title and the reason beside it.
Approved

Earlier asks are met: one admin-only door (setPackRepos) is used by the page, the terminal screen and MCP, each tested. fetchPack follows the default branch via raw/HEAD. Catalog reads are single-flight. A failed read is logged and the old catalog stays. The design findings are fixed. The docs say how to set up packs, and README is untouched. Non-blocking: the live forge shows no packs until an admin creates and marks packs/games and packs/business, as the pull says.
