Improved internal package migration workflow - #30524
Conversation
Prevent normal squash or rebase merges from discarding imported package ancestry by requiring a warning title, a prominent PR notice, and copyable guarded merge instructions in every handoff.
no ref\n\nKeep the migration workflow aligned with the repository bootstrap rename so it cannot invoke pnpm's shell-configuration command by accident.

WalkthroughThe migration skill now links to a dedicated migration guide. It adds workspace, submodule, blame-ignore, lockfile, formatting, archive, and record checks. The workflow preserves source dependency versions with scoped overrides when required. Migration pull requests must retain Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The migration workflow adds safeguards for importing package history, but its formatting recovery and guarded merge handoff still have unresolved command and reviewed-head consistency gaps. These should be corrected before relying on the workflow for a protected history-preserving merge. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 6✅ Passed checks (6 passed)

oxfmt 0.63.0 CLI --check writes files formatter documentation
💡 Result:
In oxfmt 0.63.0, the --check CLI flag is used to verify whether files are formatted correctly without writing any changes to disk [1][2][3]. When this flag is invoked, the tool checks the target files and displays statistics regarding their formatting status to the standard output [1][2][4]. It does not modify or reformat the files, making it the standard command for use in CI/CD pipelines to ensure code compliance [3][5][6]. In contrast, the default behavior of oxfmt (or using the explicit --write flag) is to format the files and write the changes in place [1][2].

Add the write-mode formatter command.
The repository pins oxfmt@0.63.0. Both documented commands only validate formatting. Add pnpm exec oxfmt packages/<package> before the checks so the format-only commit can include formatter changes.

Define bootstrap before using this skill.
The root package.json defines setup but no bootstrap script. Therefore, pnpm bootstrap cannot run the required install, submodule, and blame-ignore setup in a fresh worktree. Add the root script or change the skill to invoke the existing workflow.

Bind --confirm to the head reviewed by --dry-run.
The helper reads headRefOid separately for each invocation, while this command passes only the PR number and source split SHA. A force-push between the two commands can cause --confirm to merge a different head. --match-head-commit protects only the confirm invocation's preflight-to-merge window. Pass the dry-run head SHA to --confirm, or persist and compare the reviewed head before merging.
