Problem

#8564 fixed the 2026-07-24 codecov/patch (0%/99%) incident (root cause: miner/MCP's in-place .js emit shadowing their .ts sources during the coverage run — full writeup there) by deleting the build output before the coverage run. That restored coverage attribution but broke the OTHER class of test that needs the built artifacts: subprocess-spawning tests run under plain Node, outside Vite's resolver, and Node's ESM resolver does not fall back from a missing .js specifier to a sibling .ts file.

Confirmed on a live post-#8564 PR run (#8563): validate-tests failed with 2 failures in miner-discover-cli.test.ts (the --dry-run/--help subprocess cases), 1 in miner-claim-ledger.test.ts, 1 e2e case in miner-init-wizard.test.ts, and all 14 cases in mcp-feasibility-gate.test.ts (the MCP stdio harness) — every one a subprocess spawn hitting a now-missing compiled file.

Fix

Replace deletion with resolution: a resolve-stage vitest plugin (vitest.config.ts) rewrites relative .js-suffixed imports landing inside packages/loopover-{miner,mcp}/{lib,bin} to their .ts sibling when it exists, scoped by regex to exactly those two in-place-emit packages (engine emits to dist/ and is untouched). In-process imports now always carry the .ts source identity — correct v8 coverage attribution and correct --changed import-graph tracing — while the built .js stays on disk for subprocess spawns that need it. #8564's ci.yml surgery (pre-coverage git clean, unconditional check-miner-package exclusion, trailing pack-integrity step) is reverted; the workflow returns to its #8514 shape, with the plugin making that shape correct instead of broken.

Validation (local)

  • Emit present + plugin: attempt-cli.ts changed → 4 test files selected (not 1), 100% / 99.48% branch coverage (was 0%)
  • Subprocess suite with emit present + plugin, all green: mcp-feasibility-gate (14/14), miner-discover-cli, miner-init-wizard, check-miner-package, miner-claim-ledger — 168/168 total
  • tsc --noEmit --incremental false clean on the plugin change

…toring both coverage attribution and subprocess artifacts

Second, complete fix for the 2026-07-24 codecov/patch (0%/99%) incident.
The first fix (#8564) deleted the miner/MCP in-place build output before
the coverage run, which restored .ts coverage attribution and --changed
tracing -- but broke the other class of tests: subprocess-spawning ones
(the CLI harnesses and MCP stdio tests) run under plain Node outside
Vite's resolver and genuinely need the built lib/bin .js at spawn time
(node's ESM resolver does not fall back from a .js specifier to a .ts
sibling). Scoped post-fix runs failed in miner-discover-cli/--help,
miner-init-wizard e2e, and all 14 mcp-feasibility-gate stdio tests.

This replaces that approach: a resolve-stage vitest plugin rewrites
relative .js-suffixed imports that land inside
packages/loopover-{miner,mcp}/{lib,bin} to their .ts sibling when it
exists, so in-process imports always carry the source identity (correct
v8 attribution + import-graph tracing) while the built .js stays on disk
for spawned subprocesses. The #8564 ci.yml surgery (pre-coverage clean,
unconditional check-miner-package exclusion, trailing pack-integrity
step) is reverted -- the workflow returns to the #8514 shape, with the
plugin making it correct.

… emit

Completes the proper fix for the 2026-07-24 codecov/patch (0%/99%)
incident. #8564 deleted in-place build output before the coverage run;
#8568 replaced that with a vitest resolver plugin forcing in-process
resolution to .ts regardless of a coexisting .js. Both were workarounds
around the real root cause: packages/loopover-{miner,mcp} compiled
in-place (tsconfig outDir "."), so compiled .js sat in the same
directory as its .ts source -- the actual, recurring bug class (three
prior incidents: stale .js shadowing fresh .ts, a no-op incremental
build lying about freshness, then the coverage-attribution bug).

This migrates both packages to out-of-place emit (outDir "dist"),
matching how packages/loopover-engine already builds. .ts source and
compiled .js output now live in physically separate directories, so
there is never a same-directory collision for any resolver to work
around -- the #8568 plugin is removed as dead code.

Turbo caching fixed alongside the directory move (a real, deferred
optimization surfaced by grep'ing this exact history): build:tsc's
`cache: false` was explicit migration-era caution a prior PR (#7317)
already flagged as safe to remove once bin/lib became fully
compiler-owned; the dist/ split removes the original hazard entirely.
Both packages' build tasks now declare real outputs (including
.tsbuildinfo, so a cache HIT keeps tsc's own incremental state
consistent with what's restored) instead of never caching at all.

Every literal reference to the old in-place bin/lib layout is updated:
the shared CLI test harnesses (which had to give up spawning bin/*.ts
directly via --experimental-strip-types -- that only worked because
Node's resolver found the entry's internal lib/*.js imports sitting
right next to it; it does not fall back .js->.ts the way Vite/esbuild
do), ~40 test files with hardcoded subprocess/readFileSync paths, 4
fixture scripts, the pack-check scripts' allowlists, check-syntax.mjs
in both packages, the DEPLOYMENT.md audit script + its documented
paths, and package.json's bin/files fields.

Two production-source bugs found and fixed properly, not patched
around: bin/loopover-mcp.ts and lib/status.ts both compute paths
relative to their own file location (own package.json, CHANGELOG.md,
the monorepo-sibling loopover-engine package) -- these files are ALSO
imported in-process by tests that resolve against the real .ts source,
so a single hardcoded relative depth cannot be correct for both
contexts. Both now try the source-relative depth first, falling back
to the dist-relative depth, so they work correctly however they're
currently loaded. bin/loopover-mcp.ts's dynamic
`import("@loopover/miner/lib/claim-ledger.js")` -- a published-package
subpath import into miner's internals, invisible to any relative-path
grep -- is fixed via an explicit `exports` map in miner's package.json
instead of hardcoding "dist/" into mcp's own source, so the public
contract between the two packages stays stable independent of miner's
internal layout.

package-lock.json's bin fields resynced (npm mirrors workspace
packages' bin targets there); node_modules/.bin symlinks regenerated
via a real `npm install` (--package-lock-only does not relink them).

Docs: contributing-to-loopover's reference.md and SKILL.md corrected
-- they previously said miner/mcp tests "run straight off the .ts"
with no build needed, which is no longer true for the CLI-harness and
stdio-transport-spawning tests now that dist/ is a separate directory.

Validated: full unsharded suite (21,541/21,541 passing), typecheck
clean, both real compiled CLIs execute and self-report their version
correctly, turbo cache save+restore verified to actually restore
dist/bin, dist/lib, and dist/package.json on a hit, and the monorepo
package-check scripts pass against the real built workspace.

dist/bin, dist/lib, and dist/package.json on a hit, and the monorepo
package-check scripts pass against the real built workspace.

* refactor(build): replace relative-depth self-reference guessing with Node's own package self-referencing

The previous commit's fix for the cross-context (in-process test vs
compiled dist/) self-relative-path problem was a "try depth N, then
depth N+1" heuristic (resolveOwnPackageSiblingPath /
resolveMonorepoSiblingPath). It worked, but it's not the correct tool
for the job: Node has a purpose-built, standard mechanism for exactly
this -- a package importing its own files by its own published name
("self-referencing"), resolved via the package.json "exports" map the
same way any external "@loopover/x/..." import would be. That's robust
by construction (walks up through node_modules from the calling file's
own location, landing on the one real file regardless of that file's
current directory depth) rather than by guessing candidate depths.

Adds a minimal "exports" map to both packages' package.json (own
package.json + the one or two other self-referenced files each needs)
and switches every "own package.json"-style self-reference --
bin/loopover-mcp.ts (package.json, CHANGELOG.md), lib/version.ts's
static JSON import, lib/status.ts's two require() calls, and
bin/loopover-miner-mcp.ts -- to import.meta.resolve()/self-referencing
require() against the published package name instead. The one
remaining depth-guessing fallback (lib/status.ts's monorepo-sibling
loopover-engine lookup) is intentionally left as-is: it's a
last-resort fallback for when real node_modules resolution has already
failed, so a self-referencing lookup (which uses the identical
resolution mechanism) wouldn't diversify the fallback at all -- trying
both plausible sibling-directory depths is the actually-correct
strategy for that specific case, not a shortcut.

Validated: typecheck clean, both packages rebuild cleanly, full
unsharded suite still 21,541/21,541 passing, and both self-referencing
subpaths resolve correctly via direct node -e checks.

* fix(build): remove two remaining build-order dependencies CI caught

Both bugs share one root cause: I locally validated everything against
a worktree where dist/ was already built from earlier test runs, so I
never actually exercised a truly clean checkout. CI did, on both
validate-tests and validate-code, and caught what local testing missed.

1. bin/loopover-mcp.ts's dynamic `import("@loopover/miner/lib/
   claim-ledger.js")` — now resolvable via the "exports" map added in
   the prior commit — made tsc attempt to statically resolve and type
   that module during MCP's own build. CI's validate-tests job builds
   MCP before miner (unchanged, pre-existing order), so miner's dist/
   doesn't exist yet at that point: TS2307. This import is explicitly
   optional and already try/catch-guarded at runtime for "loopover-
   miner genuinely unresolvable" -- it should never have had a
   build-time dependency on miner in the first place. Fixed by
   building the specifier from concatenated string parts instead of a
   literal, so tsc doesn't attempt static resolution at all, paired
   with a hand-shaped local type (no coupling to miner's actual types
   needed for three destructured fields), matching the code's own
   already-optional runtime shape.

2. test/unit/miner-deployment-docs-audit.test.ts's `import type
   { DeploymentDocsReality } from ".../dist/lib/deployment-docs-
   audit.d.ts"` (added in the prior commit) made the root `npm run
   typecheck` -- which validate-code runs without building miner
   first -- fail the same way. Unlike the runtime readFileSync calls
   in that same file (which genuinely need real compiled output on
   disk and correctly still point at dist/), a TYPE-ONLY import has no
   such requirement: NodeNext module resolution already resolves a
   plain .js-suffixed specifier to its sibling .ts source for type
   information, the exact mechanism the adjacent value import on the
   line above already relies on. Pointing the type import at the same
   lib/deployment-docs-audit.js specifier (not dist/) gets real types
   with zero build dependency, verified by re-running
   `npm run typecheck` against a directory tree with no dist/ built
   for either package at all.

Verified this time: full clean state (rm -rf both packages' dist/ and
.tsbuildinfo) --> typecheck passes with nothing built --> full rebuild
--> unsharded suite 21,568/21,568 passing --> both pack-check scripts
pass. Rebased onto origin/main first (11 commits had landed, including
overlapping changes to package.json/package-lock.json).

* fix(ci): update the last stale bin/ path references in ci.yml

Missed this during the migration despite reading this exact file
multiple times earlier: the "Verify MCP/miner CLI binaries were
actually built" tripwire step still checked the old in-place
packages/loopover-{mcp,miner}/bin/loopover-*.js paths. Since those
binaries now build into dist/bin/ (see tsconfig.json's outDir
comment), the tripwire was correctly firing -- the files genuinely
aren't at the old path anymore -- failing validate-tests right after
the two build steps it's meant to guard, exactly as designed, just
against the wrong path.

Also corrected the explanatory comment above that step and the "Build
MCP"/"Build miner CLI" steps: it described the pre-migration mechanism
(CLI harnesses spawning bin/*.ts directly via --experimental-strip-
types, relying on the compiled .js sitting in-place next to it) which
this migration already replaced (the harnesses now spawn the real
compiled dist/bin/*.js directly). Left everything else the earlier
grep flagged alone -- the other packages/loopover-miner/lib/*.js
mentions elsewhere in ci.yml are comments about *.js-suffixed import
SPECIFIERS (which still correctly resolve to their sibling .ts either
way, unaffected by where compiled output lands) or pre-existing
staleness unrelated to this migration (release-selfhost.yml's
"(committed, pre-built)" predates even the #7290 gitignore-the-
compiled-output migration).

Verified this time by exactly replicating the failing job's own
sequence locally: build engine, force-build MCP, force-build miner,
then the verify step's own loop -- both paths now resolve. Also
reconfirmed clean-state typecheck and the full unsharded suite
(21,568/21,568) after this change.
