This is the record of an abcd-managed repository

abcdBetav0.16.2 · 2026-11-06

Development record

The ahoy install question that sets what a repository releases (artefact kind, .abcd/config/artefact.json) gives too little context and too few answers. Its whole explanation is 'What this repository releases; abcd's release commands refuse to guess it.', it offers only plugin, binary and application, and the default is explained as 'as binary today', which tells a person nothing about their own project. A website, a native desktop app, a mobile app or a library has no answer that fits, and nothing says what each choice changes in the release flow. Seen by the product thinker during abcd ahoy install in a downstream repository on v0.13.2, 2026-10-07 (Setup Q11).
