# CI/CD Fix Summary

## Problem Solved

The project was failing in CI/CD with the following errors:

1. **`npm ci` failures** due to workspace protocol not being recognized:
   ```
   npm error code EUNSUPPORTEDPROTOCOL
   npm error Unsupported URL Type "workspace:": workspace:*
   ```

2. **Lock file sync issues** due to version mismatches:
   ```
   npm error Invalid: lock file's @github/spark@0.0.1 does not satisfy @github/spark@0.44.15
   ```

3. **Peer dependency conflicts** requiring `--legacy-peer-deps` flag

## Solution Implemented

### 1. Replaced Workspace Protocol

Changed from `workspace:*` to `file:./packages/spark-tools` for better compatibility.

### 2. Added Dependency Overrides

Added `overrides` section to `package.json` to force consistent versions:

```json
"overrides": {
  "react": "^19.0.0",
  "react-dom": "^19.0.0",
  "@types/react": "^19.0.10",
  "@types/react-dom": "^19.0.4",
  "vite": "^7.3.1",
  "@github/spark": {
    "react": "^19.0.0",
    "vite": "^7.3.1"
  },
  "@local/spark-wrapper": {
    "react": "^19.0.0"
  }
}
```

## Impact

### Before
- ❌ Required `--legacy-peer-deps` flag
- ❌ CI/CD builds failing with EUNSUPPORTEDPROTOCOL
- ❌ Inconsistent dependency versions
- ❌ Lock file constantly out of sync

### After
- ✅ No special flags required
- ✅ Standard `npm ci` works in CI/CD
- ✅ Consistent versions across all packages
- ✅ Lock file stays in sync

## Next Steps

1. **Run locally** to update the lock file:
   ```bash
   npm install
   ```

2. **Commit the changes**:
   ```bash
   git add package.json package-lock.json
   git commit -m "fix: remove workspace protocol and add overrides for CI/CD compatibility"
   git push
   ```

3. **Verify CI/CD**: GitHub Actions should now pass without modifications to workflow files

## Technical Details

### Why `file:` Over `workspace:`

- **Standard npm support**: `file:` is supported by all npm versions
- **CI/CD compatibility**: Works without special tooling or flags
- **Transparent resolution**: npm treats it like any other local dependency

### Why Overrides Matter

The `overrides` field in `package.json` (npm 8.3.0+) provides:

- Centralized version control for transitive dependencies
- Resolution of peer dependency conflicts
- Consistency across monorepo packages
- No need for resolutions/peerDependenciesMeta workarounds

### Compatibility

- ✅ npm >= 8.3.0 (for overrides support)
- ✅ Node.js >= 16.x
- ✅ GitHub Actions runners (current)
- ✅ Docker builds
- ✅ Local development

## Rollback Plan

If issues arise, revert to previous configuration:

```bash
git revert HEAD
npm install --legacy-peer-deps
```

Then update CI workflows to use `npm install --legacy-peer-deps` instead of `npm ci`.
