• 🔴 (20:49) User instructed: move forward with merging PR #847 and starting the workspaces PRs.
• 🟡 (20:49) Assistant planned to run merge process for #847 while starting PR B (schema + resolver) planning in parallel.
• 🟡 (20:50) PR #847 CI checks: 24/24 SUCCESS; mergeStateStatus BLOCKED only due to reviewDecision REVIEW_REQUIRED (mergeable: MERGEABLE).
• 🟡 (20:51) No bot/review comments found on #847; Seer Code Review and Cursor Bugbot checks both SUCCESS with no findings.
• 🔴 [merged-pr] (20:53) PR #847 merged via squash + admin merge (same process as #846) — merge commit f70d5a83ea63b513de7094071ff63e3ee07f20c6, mergedAt 2026-07-21T20:52:10Z, state MERGED.
• 🟡 (20:53) Local git branch-switch failed with worktree conflict error ("'master' is already used by worktree at /home/byk/.local/share/opencode/worktree/55fa901aca64a01fa4b5c2abce1c85c1c27475e7/stellar-falcon"); remote merge and branch delete succeeded regardless.
• 🟡 (20:54) Local branch feat/prefixed-tags-fixes deleted (was 1afce59) as post-merge cleanup.
• 🟡 (20:54) Remaining local feat/fix branches enumerated (~34 branches, e.g. feat/actions-publish-repo-self, feat/ci-ready-signal, feat/prefixed-tags, fix/security-advisories, fix/flaky-zip-test, etc.) — assistant flagged many as likely-stale/already-merged for end-of-task cleanup per user's usual pattern, but did not delete them now.
• 🔴 (20:54) Branch feat/prefixed-tags (parked #844 branch) explicitly preserved, not touched during cleanup.
• 🟡 (20:54) Task list updated: "PR A (#847): merged + cleaned up" marked completed; PR B broken into subtasks — re-read design doc/schema/config/CLI (in_progress), add workspaces schema with minVersion gate, implement getActiveWorkspaceConfig resolver, add --workspace CLI option + CRAFT_WORKSPACE env, make config accessors workspace-aware, add tests, verify+review+open PR; PR C (prepare/publish threading), PR D (action layer + getsentry/publish additive), PR E (docs) all pending; "End-of-task: propose stale local branch cleanup" added as pending/low.
• 🟡 (20:58) New branch feat/workspaces-schema created tracking origin/master, includes merged commit f70d5a8 "feat: prefix-aware read paths for monorepo multi-product releases (#847)".
• 🟡 (20:59) Read src/schemas/project_config.ts (193 lines) in full: defines ChangelogPolicy, StatusProviderName, ArtifactProviderName, VersioningPolicy enums; GitHubGlobalConfigSchema (owner, repo, projectPath); TargetConfigSchema (name, id, includeNames, excludeNames, passthrough); TypedTargetConfig utility type; BaseStatusProviderSchema (name: github); BaseArtifactProviderSchema (name: gcs|github|none); ArtifactPatternsSchema; GitHubArtifactsConfigSchema; GitHubArtifactProviderConfigSchema; CalVerConfigSchema (offset, format); VersioningConfigSchema (policy, calver); ChangelogConfigSchema (string or object w/ filePath, policy, scopeGrouping); CraftProjectConfigSchema with fields: github, targets, preReleaseCommand, postReleaseCommand, releaseBranchPrefix, changelog, changelogPolicy, minVersion (regex /^\d+.\d+.\d+.*$/), requireNames, statusProvider, artifactProvider, versioning, noMerge.
• 🟡 (20:59) Design decision for PR B resolver: rather than threading a workspace parameter through every accessor (getGitTagPrefix, getGlobalGitHubConfig, getVersioningPolicy, etc.), make getConfiguration() return a resolved view — merges base config with selected workspace's overrides via a module-level active-workspace selector (set once from --workspace/CRAFT_WORKSPACE) — so all existing accessors become workspace-aware automatically without individual changes. Alternative (per-accessor workspace param threading) considered and rejected as more invasive.
• 🟡 (21:00-21:02) Read src/config.ts sections: findConfigFile, getConfigFilePath, validateConfiguration, getConfiguration(clearCache), loadConfigurationFromString(configContent), checkMinimalConfigVersion(config) (throws ConfigurationError on version mismatch), requiresMinVersion(requiredVersion), getVersioningPolicy() (defaults to Auto if minVersion >= AUTO_VERSION_MIN_VERSION '2.14.0' else Manual), getGlobalGitHubConfig(clearCache) with _globalGitHubConfigCache.
• 🟡 (21:02) Confirmed "resolved view from getConfiguration()" approach is viable — getVersioningPolicy, getGlobalGitHubConfig, getGitTagPrefix all route through getConfiguration(). Noted getGlobalGitHubConfig reads config.github, so a workspace's github override must be merged into resolved config's github field.
• 🟡 (21:02) [rejected-approach] Assistant considered delegating PR B implementation to a code subagent, then decided against it — core architecture with subtle caching/merge semantics and backward-compat requirements, chose to implement directly to keep tight control.
• 🟡 (21:03) Edit applied: schema.ts — extracted release-relevant fields into shared base and added workspaces field (implementation of WorkspaceSchema underway).
• 🟡 (21:04-21:07) Located config.ts import block (lines 10-19: CraftProjectConfig, CraftProjectConfigSchema, GitHubGlobalConfig, ArtifactProviderName, StatusProviderName, TargetConfig, ChangelogPolicy, VersioningPolicy) and key line anchors (_configCache at 56, getConfiguration at 147, checkMinimalConfigVersion at 186, AUTO_VERSION_MIN_VERSION at 249, expandWorkspaceTargets at 576). Edits applied: added Workspace type import, added workspace selector state + min-version constant near config cache, resolver merge logic.
• 🟡 (21:07-21:09) Bug: referenced isVersionGteMinVersion and _globalGitHubConfigCache before their declarations caused issues. Root cause: requiresMinVersion() called getConfiguration() internally, creating circularity risk when reused inside workspace resolution logic, and _globalGitHubConfigCache was declared after its new usage point. Fix: extracted a pure helper isVersionGteMinVersion(minVersionRaw, requiredVersion) from requiresMinVersion's internals (parseVersion + versionGreaterOrEqualThan, no getConfiguration() call), refactored requiresMinVersion to use it, and placed the pure helper before applyWorkspaceSelection usage.
• 🟡 (21:13-21:14) Fixed _globalGitHubConfigCache type annotation — originally GitHubGlobalConfig | null, updated to explicitly include undefined (matching existing !== undefined check semantics and new reset-to-undefined usage in setActiveWorkspace).
• 🟡 (21:15) tsc exit: 0 — type-check clean after schema/resolver edits.
• 🟡 (21:14) Design note: getGitTagPrefix() retains its existing "first github target + warn" logic unchanged under workspaces — reasoned that the workspace selector itself performs the indexing/narrowing, so reading the resolved config's first github target remains correct.
• 🟡 (21:15) Next step: add global --workspace CLI option to index.ts and wire setActiveWorkspace into CLI middleware.
