1
+ # EXECUTION_BRIEF - slice-07 Tests, smokes, package dry-run, and release readiness
2
+
3
+ ## Context
4
+
5
+ The v31 changes touch core AI command behavior and agent profile setup. Release readiness must prove backward compatibility, no-TTY safety, JSON cleanliness, and package safety.
6
+
7
+ ## Objective
8
+
9
+ Close v31 with full validation, evidence, and release readiness without publishing npm.
10
+
11
+ ## Scope
12
+
13
+ - tests and smoke suites
14
+ - final docs/evidence updates
15
+ - `CHANGELOG.md`
16
+ - `README_FOR_AI.md`
17
+ - `ROADMAP.md`
18
+ - v31 spec closure files
19
+
20
+ ## Acceptance Criteria
21
+
22
+ - Full test suite passes.
23
+ - Smoke suites pass.
24
+ - Package smoke and npm pack dry-run pass.
25
+ - Spec validation passes.
26
+ - Final evidence is recorded.
27
+ - Known remaining risks are documented.
28
+
29
+ ## Technical Plan Summary
30
+
31
+ Run final validation after every implementation and docs slice, then update status/evidence/PR body/closure briefs.
32
+
33
+ ## Suggested Steps
34
+
35
+ 1. Run focused tests from prior slices if needed.
36
+ 2. Run full suite.
37
+ 3. Run smoke suites.
38
+ 4. Run package safety and npm pack dry-run.
39
+ 5. Validate spec.
40
+ 6. Update final evidence and status.
41
+
42
+ ## Restrictions
43
+
44
+ - Do not publish npm.
45
+ - Do not skip failed tests.
46
+ - Do not add new product scope.
47
+
48
+ ## Risks
49
+
50
+ - Live provider validation depends on local provider auth and should be documented separately.
51
+ - Catalog staleness remains a known operational risk.
52
+
53
+ ## Completion Checklist
54
+
55
+ - [ ] Full tests pass.
56
+ - [ ] Smokes pass.
57
+ - [ ] Package dry-run passes.
58
+ - [ ] Evidence report completed.
59
+ - [ ] PR body updated.

+ # Quiver v32 - npx Installation Guidance
2
+
3
+ ## Objective
4
+
5
+ Clarify the expected installation behavior of Quiver when users run it with `npx`, especially why it does not appear in project `node_modules` unless installed explicitly as a development dependency.
6
+
7
+ ## Problem
8
+
9
+ Users can run:
10
+
11
+ ```bash
12
+ npx --yes create-quiver@latest ...
13
+ ```
14
+
15
+ and expect the package to appear in `node_modules`. That is not how `npx` works, but the repository documentation did not explain the distinction clearly enough.
16
+
17
+ ## Scope
18
+
19
+ - Add concise public-facing guidance to `README.md`.
20
+ - Add a deeper installation guide under `docs/getting-started/`.
21
+ - Add troubleshooting guidance for the common `node_modules` confusion.
22
+ - Update generated-project troubleshooting and command templates.
23
+ - Keep `README_FOR_AI.md` synchronized as the AI source of truth.
24
+
25
+ ## Non-Scope
26
+
27
+ - No product code changes.
28
+ - No npm publication.
29
+ - No changes to package installation behavior.
30
+ - No automatic local install changes.
31
+
32
+ ## Acceptance Criteria
33
+
34
+ - Given a user runs Quiver with `npx --yes create-quiver@latest`, when they read the README, then they understand why Quiver may not appear in `node_modules`.
35
+ - Given a team wants a pinned Quiver version, when they read the installation guide, then they can install `create-quiver` as a `devDependency`.
36
+ - Given a user searches troubleshooting, when they see the `node_modules` entry, then they get the expected behavior, recovery path, and relevant links.
37
+ - Given generated project docs are created from templates, when troubleshooting and command docs are inspected, then the same `npx` vs local install contract is represented.
38
+ - Given an AI agent uses `README_FOR_AI.md`, when it explains installation, then it does not recommend global install and correctly distinguishes `npx` from local devDependency usage.

7
+ ## Summary
8
+
9
+ This documentation-only spec clarifies that `npx --yes create-quiver@latest` runs Quiver from npm's execution cache and does not install it into project `node_modules`. It documents when teams should install `create-quiver` as a local `devDependency`.

3
+ Quiver v32: clarify npx vs local installation
4
+
5
+ ## Summary
6
+
7
+ - Explains why `npx --yes create-quiver@latest` does not install Quiver into project `node_modules`.
8
+ - Adds a dedicated installation guide for `npx` vs local `devDependency` usage.
9
+ - Adds troubleshooting guidance for users who expect Quiver in `node_modules`.
10
+ - Aligns generated docs templates and `README_FOR_AI.md`.
11
+
12
+ ## Scope
13
+
14
+ - Public README guidance.
15
+ - Installation guide under `docs/getting-started/`.
16
+ - Troubleshooting entry.
17
+ - Command reference and generated docs template notes.
18
+ - Documentation-only WDD/SDD traceability.
19
+
20
+ ## Files
21
+
22
+ - `README.md`
23
+ - `README_FOR_AI.md`
24
+ - `docs/getting-started/installation.md`
25

+ - `docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md.template`
28
+ - `docs/COMMANDS.md.template`
29
+ - `specs/quiver-v32-npx-installation-guidance/**`
30
+
31
+ ## How to Test (DETAILED - REQUIRED)
32
+
33
+ ### Required Environment
34
+
35
+ - Node.js and npm.
36
+ - Local Quiver source checkout.
37
+
38
+ ### Worktree Access
39
+
40
+ - Use a dedicated docs branch for this PR.
41
+ - No product-code changes are expected.
42
+
43
+ ### Run the Project
44
+
45
+ This is a documentation-only change. No app runtime is needed.
46
+
47
+ ### Use Cases
48
+
49
+ - Read the README and confirm it explains why `npx` does not populate `node_modules`.
50
+ - Read `docs/getting-started/installation.md` and confirm it explains when to use `npx` and when to install `create-quiver` as a `devDependency`.
51
+ - Read `docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md` and confirm it covers the `node_modules` confusion.
52
+ - Inspect templates to confirm generated projects inherit the same explanation.
53
+
54
+ ### Technical Verification
55
+
56
+ - `git diff --check`
57
+ - `node bin/create-quiver.js spec validate specs/quiver-v32-npx-installation-guidance`
58
+
59
+ ## Evidence
60
+
61
+ - Documentation updated in public, reference, troubleshooting, template, and AI source-of-truth surfaces.
62
+ - `git diff --check` passed.
63
+ - `node bin/create-quiver.js spec validate specs/quiver-v32-npx-installation-guidance` passed.
64
+
65
+ ## Rollback
66
+
67
+ Revert this documentation slice commit. No runtime behavior or package installation behavior changed.
68
+
69
+ ## Risks / Notes
70
+
71
+ - This PR does not change how `init` or `migrate` may install local dev dependencies.
72
+ - The guidance intentionally keeps `npx --yes create-quiver@latest` as the recommended bootstrap path.

+ # Closure Brief - slice-00-installation-docs
2
+
3
+ ## Resumen de lo realizado
4
+
5
+ Se agregó documentación para explicar que `npx --yes create-quiver@latest` ejecuta Quiver desde la caché de npm y no instala el paquete dentro de `node_modules`. También se documentó cuándo conviene instalar `create-quiver` como `devDependency`.
6
+
7
+ ## Validación contra criterios de aceptación
8
+
9
+ - README incluye explicación breve y link a la guía.
10
+ - `docs/getting-started/installation.md` explica `npx`, caché de npm, `node_modules` y `devDependency`.
11
+ - `docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md` cubre la confusión de `node_modules`.
12
+ - Templates generados fueron alineados.
13
+ - `README_FOR_AI.md` fue actualizado como fuente de verdad.
14
+
15
+ ## Cambios relevantes
16
+
17
+ - Public documentation now covers `npx` vs local install.
18
+ - Generated project templates inherit the key guidance.
19
+ - Spec package and PR body were created for traceability.
20
+
21
+ ## Pendientes
22
+
23
+ - Abrir el PR.
24
+
25
+ ## Riesgos remanentes
26
+
27
+ - Ninguno crítico. Esta spec no cambia comportamiento de producto.
28
+
29
+ ## Recomendaciones futuras
30
+
31
+ - Consider adding `npx` cache behavior to `create-quiver --help` only if more users hit the same confusion.

+ # Execution Brief - slice-00-installation-docs
2
+
3
+ ## Context
4
+
5
+ Users can run Quiver with `npx --yes create-quiver@latest` and expect the package to appear in project `node_modules`. The expected npm behavior is that `npx` runs the CLI from npm's execution cache unless the package is explicitly installed locally.
6
+
7
+ ## Objective
8
+
9
+ Document the `npx` vs local installation behavior clearly across public docs, troubleshooting, templates, and AI source-of-truth guidance.
10
+
11
+ ## Scope
12
+
13
+ - Root README summary.
14
+ - Dedicated installation guide.
15
+ - Troubleshooting entry.
16
+ - Command reference note.
17
+ - Generated docs template note.
18
+ - `README_FOR_AI.md` synchronization.
19
+
20
+ ## Criterios de aceptación
21
+
22
+ - README includes a concise explanation of why Quiver may not appear in `node_modules`.
23
+ - Installation guide explains `npx`, npm cache execution, and `devDependency` installation.
24
+ - Troubleshooting covers the user confusion as a recoverable expected behavior.
25
+ - Templates include the same guidance for generated projects.
26
+ - No product code is modified.
27
+
28
+ ## Plan técnico resumido
29
+
30
+ 1. Add the public README section and link.
31
+ 2. Add `docs/getting-started/installation.md`.
32
+ 3. Add `docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md`.
33
+ 4. Update generated troubleshooting and command templates.
34
+ 5. Update `README_FOR_AI.md`.
35
+ 6. Validate docs and spec package.
36
+
37
+ ## Restricciones
38
+
39
+ - Do not recommend global installation.
40
+ - Do not change runtime behavior.
41
+ - Do not change npm package metadata.
42
+
43
+ ## Riesgos
44
+
45
+ - Duplicating too much setup guidance in the root README.
46
+ - Confusing `npx create-quiver` local resolution with `npx --yes create-quiver@latest` latest resolution.
47
+
