Rust consumers pin a CultLib revision through cargo git dependencies, which is
how Ghostlight, Epiphany, CodexConnector and Odin already consume the core
stack. npm and pip cannot take a package from a subdirectory of a git repo at
all, which is why the TypeScript and Python consumers vendored forks instead:
there was nothing else to depend on. This gives them a versioned artifact.
Tagging cultcache-ts-v* or cultcache-py-v* builds, tests and publishes. The tag
version must match the manifest version or the workflow refuses rather than
shipping a mislabelled artifact. PyPI uses trusted publishing, so no long-lived
token is stored; npm needs an NPM_TOKEN secret.
cultcache-ts is now @gamecult/cultcache-ts. The scope is not cosmetic: it makes
the package unambiguously org-owned on a public registry, and it is what lets
CultLib hold the name rather than racing for an unscoped one. CultLib's own
cultmesh-ts and cultnet-ts and their imports move with it; all three packages
typecheck and cultcache-ts passes 12 of 13 tests, the exception being the
cross-runtime store test that shells out to Python, which cannot run on this
machine because its Python has no msgpack.
Licensing was inconsistent with the repo. cultcache-py declared itself "Private
GameCult infrastructure" and cultcache-rs and cultmesh-rs declared nothing,
inside a repo whose LICENSE is MIT and whose every other package says MIT. All
three now say MIT. That was load-bearing here: a package that calls itself
private is not one to push to a public registry.
