• 🟡 (17:57) Targeted command yarn run vitest run src/publish/__tests__/discover-location.js failed: 1 of 5 tests failed and 4 passed. Failing test: does not discover workspaces for the checkout root.
• 🟡 (17:57) Failure investigation: mocked execFile threw Error("workspace list is unavailable") at src/publish/__tests__/discover-location.js:21; the error propagated through getWorkspaceNames at src/publish/discover-location.js:18 and discoverLocation at src/publish/discover-location.js:53, demonstrating that workspace discovery runs even for the checkout root.
• 🟡 (17:57) Assistant identified the regression in the current merged controller and planned to modify only discoverLocation() so it returns an already-valid root location before invoking workspace discovery, preventing unavailable workspace lookup for the checkout root.
