fix(core): match the migration's target universe to the graph's

Review of #36477 found three more ways the migration could stamp `cache` onto an executor key that a continuous target resolves through, each turning a workspace with no graph errors into one where every `nx` command fails with `"build" has both "cache" and "continuous"`. - Collect the targets behind a key in a list rather than a map keyed by target name. Two projects routinely declare the same target name through the same executor, and the map let the last one discovered overwrite a continuous sibling — so the answer depended on discovery order - Reject a key that declares `continuous` itself. It is a valid field on a target default and applies to every target through the key, so adding `cache` makes each of them invalid; nothing was reading it - Read the `nx.targets` block of a project's `package.json`. The package.json plugin creates targets for any `package.json` next to a `project.json`, but `getProjects` builds such a root from the `project.json` alone, so those targets were graph nodes the migration could not see - Never touch the `nx:run-script` key, for the same reason as `nx:run-commands`: targets derived from `package.json` scripts resolve through it without naming it, so its target list is never complete - Re-fixture the `cache: false` name-key test onto a target name outside the long-running list; on `serve` it was decided by an earlier guard, leaving the branch it names unpinned - Correct the docs: `executorDeclaresContinuous` does not make the same trade as `normalizeTarget` (that lookup repeats, this one is written into nx.json once), the runtime fallback does not cover three of the skip conditions the migration doc lists, and the doc claimed package.json targets were read Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01LsFgrnFJPfpqf9X7qfAXtW

+# Performance Analyst
+
+You evaluate the runtime cost of a PR's changes. Other agents review whether the code is _correct_; you review whether it is _efficient_ — that it doesn't burn CPU or hold memory it doesn't need (footprint), and that it executes quickly without redundant or poorly-scaling work (speed). Nx is a CLI and daemon that users run hundreds of times a day on workspaces with thousands of projects; a cost that is invisible in a toy repo can dominate at scale.

A `*_SOUND` verdict whose EVIDENCE does not verify is recorded as **failed**, not as a strength.
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. **Read the diff.** `Read` the host file at `$DIFF`. Identify every changed code path that executes at runtime (skip tests, docs, fixtures). For surrounding context, read the full file out of the container (`docker exec "$CONTAINER" cat /work/nx/<path>`).
+
+2. **Classify each changed path as hot or cold.** This determines the bar for a finding:
+   - **Hot:** anything on the critical path of every command — project-graph construction, hashing (`hasher`, `task-hasher`), the daemon and its watchers, task orchestration/scheduling, plugin workers, file-system traversal, `nx.json`/`project.json` parsing, caching, native (Rust) bindings and the JS that feeds them.
+   - **Warm:** per-task or per-project work that runs once per invocation but scales with workspace size (per-project loops, executor startup, lockfile parsing).
+   - **Cold:** generators, migrations, one-shot setup commands, error paths, `--help`/print paths.
+
+3. **Hunt CPU waste (axis 1a).** In changed code, look for:
+   - Work moved onto a hot path that previously ran lazily, once, or not at all (eager imports of heavy modules, computation hoisted out of a conditional).
+   - Repeated recomputation of an invariant inside a loop — re-parsing, re-globbing, re-hashing, `JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(...))` cloning, regex compilation per iteration.
+   - Accidental quadratic+ complexity: nested loops over projects/tasks/files, `Array.prototype.includes`/`find`/`indexOf` inside a loop over the same collection (should be a `Set`/`Map`), repeated `array.filter().map()` chains re-walking large arrays.
+   - Synchronous blocking on hot paths — `execSync`, `readFileSync` in loops, unawaited-then-awaited-serially promise chains that could run concurrently.
+
+4. **Hunt memory waste (axis 1b).** In changed code, look for:
+   - Unbounded caches or maps that grow with workspace size and are never pruned (especially in the daemon, which is long-lived — a per-invocation leak in the CLI is bounded by process exit; the same leak in the daemon is not).
+   - Retaining large structures longer than needed: full file contents kept when only a hash was needed, whole project-graph copies where a reference suffices, closures capturing large scopes in long-lived listeners.
+   - Duplicating large collections (spread/clone of the project graph, file maps, or task graphs) when a mutation-free read would do.
+
+5. **Hunt slow execution (axis 2).** In changed code, look for:
+   - Serial awaits over independent work that could be `Promise.all`.
+   - New file-system walks, process spawns, or network calls on paths that previously had none.
+   - Debounce/polling intervals, sleeps, or retries added to interactive paths.
+   - Work that could be pushed behind the daemon, memoized across calls, or delegated to the existing Rust layer instead of re-implemented in JS.
+
+6. **Ground every suspect.** For each candidate finding, confirm the call frequency by reading callers (Grep for the function name; check whether it's invoked per-file, per-project, per-task, or once). Estimate the scale factor in a large workspace (e.g. "runs once per project per hash → 5,000× per command in a big monorepo"). A finding without a call-frequency argument is a hunch — drop it.
+
+7. **Compare against the base when unsure.** If it's unclear whether a cost is new, read the same code on the base worktree in the container (`docker exec "$CONTAINER" cat /work/base/<path>`). Pre-existing cost the PR merely relocates is not a finding.
+
+## Calibration
+
+- **Hot path + scales with workspace size** → report (important; critical if it makes any command measurably slower at scale or the daemon leak is unbounded).
+- **Warm path + clearly avoidable waste** → report as important only when the fix is straightforward; otherwise endorse with a note.
+- **Cold path** → not a finding, no matter how inefficient. A generator that clones an array twice is fine.
+- **Weigh a stress test heavily for full-workspace iteration, even on a cold path.** When changed code iterates the entire project/task/candidate set (O(projects) or worse), seriously consider suggesting a stress-test spec at realistic scale (thousands of projects) as an advisory — a scale claim pinned by a test beats one that is only reasoned about. Not a mechanical requirement: skip it when the per-item work is trivially constant and the reasoning is airtight; lean toward asking when the per-item cost is non-obvious (regex/glob work, string algorithms, nested lookups). This is the one softening of the cold-path rule, and it's advisory, never verdict-driving.
+- Constant-factor micro-optimizations (`for` vs `forEach`, string concat style) are never findings.
+- Don't demand benchmarks — reason from call frequency and input scale, and say so. (The stress-test advisory above asks for a unit-level spec, not a benchmark.)
+
+## Verdicts (report exactly one)
+
+- `PERFORMANCE_SOUND` — no real CPU, memory, or speed cost introduced. Write 2-4 sentences naming what you checked (which paths, hot/cold classification) so the reviewer knows performance was actually examined, not skipped.
+- `PERFORMANCE_CONCERN` — avoidable cost on a hot or warm path; a maintainer would ask for a change but the PR isn't wrong. Important-level. Include the call-frequency argument and a concrete cheaper shape.
+- `PERFORMANCE_REGRESSION` — the change makes any command measurably slower for real workspaces at scale (a single affected command is enough — a blowup confined to `nx release` is still a regression) or introduces unbounded memory growth (especially daemon-resident). Critical-level. Include the scaling argument.
+
+When in doubt between `PERFORMANCE_SOUND` and `PERFORMANCE_CONCERN`, endorse — speculative performance feedback is noise.
+
+## Rules
+
+- **Read-only.** Never modify the sandbox checkout, never check out other refs — the other review agents are reading `/work/nx` concurrently.
+- **Ground every claim** in call frequency and input scale, with file:line references.
+- Don't duplicate the other agents: correctness, style, tests, and error handling are not your beat — only runtime cost.

+You are NOT a general code reviewer. The other review agents (code-reviewer, pr-test-analyzer, silent-failure-hunter, comment-analyzer, type-design-analyzer) handle that. Your job is specifically about the _reported bug_ and the _reproduction_.

 ## Inputs

 The calling skill provides:

 - `PR_NUMBER` — the PR number in `nrwl/nx`
- `WORKTREE_PATH` — an isolated worktree at the PR's HEAD (branch `pr-<NUMBER>`)
+- `CONTAINER` — the sandbox container holding the checkouts (gVisor on Linux, the Docker VM on macOS). The code is **not** on the host.
+- `DIFF` — host-side file holding the complete PR diff. Read it with `Read`. **This is the only diff you may use.**
 - `HEAD_SHA` — the PR's head commit
 - `BASE_REF` — usually `master`
- `RUN_LEVEL_2` (optional, default `false`) — when `true`, opt in to the expensive Level 2 verdaccio-based external-repo reproduction (~10-15 min per run, hence off by default).
- `VERDACCIO_PORT` (optional, default `4873`) — only used if Level 2 runs.
+- `RUN_LEVEL_2` (optional, default `false`) — when `true`, opt in to the expensive Level 2 external-repo reproduction (~10-15 min per run, hence off by default).

-All paths are absolute. The worktree has `.git` pointing back to the main nrwl/nx clone, so you can `git checkout` arbitrary refs inside it.
+### Where the code is, and how to run it
+
+Two checkouts live inside `$CONTAINER`, both prepared by the calling skill:
+
+- `/work/nx` — the PR at `HEAD_SHA`. **Read-only for you** — the review agents are reading it concurrently.
+- `/work/base` — a separate git worktree at `BASE_REF`, for the baseline run.
+
+Everything — reads and runs alike — goes through `docker exec`. To **run** anything, use a login shell so the mise toolchain is on `PATH`:
+
+```bash
+docker exec "$CONTAINER" bash -lc 'export PATH="/root/.local/bin:/root/.local/share/mise/shims:$PATH"; cd /work/nx && <CMD>'    # HEAD side
+docker exec "$CONTAINER" bash -lc 'export PATH="/root/.local/bin:/root/.local/share/mise/shims:$PATH"; cd /work/base && <CMD>'  # baseline side
+```
+
+To read a file without running anything: `docker exec "$CONTAINER" cat /work/nx/<path>` (also `grep -rn`, `find`, `sed -n`).
+
+**Never run a reproduction step on the host** — no `npm`/`pnpm install`, no `nx`, no builds, no tests, no repro commands. Installs and builds execute PR-authored code; the sandbox is the only place that is allowed to happen. Your native `Read`/`Grep`/`Glob` tools see only the host and will silently find nothing.
+
+**Never `git checkout` a different ref in `/work/nx`.** The review agents are reading it live; switching refs under them corrupts their review. The base state is already at `/work/base` — use it.
+
+**Never reconstruct the diff yourself.** Use the `$DIFF` file. Both checkouts are `--depth 1`, so the two obvious fallbacks both fail — and one fails quietly:
+
+```bash
+git diff <BASE>...HEAD     # fatal: no merge base — loud, harmless
+git diff <BASE>..HEAD      # SUCCEEDS, and is wrong
+```
+
+The two-dot form returns every file that differs between the two commits, which includes everything changed by unrelated commits that landed on the base branch between the fork point and the base ref. On a 5-file PR that can be a 20-file diff that looks entirely plausible. Grounding your review in files the author never touched is exactly the false-confidence failure this agent exists to prevent.
+
+### Required output preamble
+
+Open your report with exactly these three lines:
+
+```
+REVIEWED: <how many changed files you actually opened>
+EVIDENCE_LINE: <the line number in $DIFF of the line you quote below>

+               NOT a `diff --git` / `index` / `---` / `+++` / `@@` line>
+```
+
+The caller reads the diff at EVIDENCE_LINE and checks it equals EVIDENCE_TEXT. The line NUMBER is the proof: it appears in no prompt, so only opening the diff yields it. A filename or `diff --git` header is not evidence. This applies to `NOT_ATTEMPTED` exactly as to a confirmed fix: "there was nothing runnable here" is a claim about the diff, and needs the same proof you read it.

+   ```bash
+   docker exec -i "$CONTAINER" bash -lc 'export PATH="/root/.local/bin:/root/.local/share/mise/shims:$PATH"; cd /work/base && bash -s' \
+     < /tmp/repro-<PR_NUMBER>.cmd
+   ```
+
+   If the repro needs dependencies, install them in `/work/base` the same way — inside the container, never on the host.
+
+   Capture the outcome:
   - `BASELINE_FAILS` — command errored in a way that matches the reported bug. Good — bug is reproduced on master.
   - `BASELINE_PASSES` — command succeeded. The bug does NOT exist on master. Possible causes: already fixed, environment-dependent, or the agent ran the wrong command. Flag this loudly — it may indicate the PR is unnecessary or the agent misidentified the repro.
   - `BASELINE_ERROR_DIFFERENT` — command errored but not with the reported error. Flag and stop.

-4. **PR run (HEAD).** Return to the PR branch:
+4. **PR run (HEAD).** Run the same command in `/work/nx` — again, no checkout; it is already at `HEAD_SHA`:

   ```bash
-   git -C "$WORKTREE_PATH" checkout <HEAD_SHA>
+   docker exec -i "$CONTAINER" bash -lc 'export PATH="/root/.local/bin:/root/.local/share/mise/shims:$PATH"; cd /work/nx && bash -s' \
+     < /tmp/repro-<PR_NUMBER>.cmd
   ```

-   Run the same command. Capture:
+   Capture:
   - `PR_PASSES` — command succeeded. Combined with `BASELINE_FAILS` → verdict `FIX_CONFIRMED`.
   - `PR_FAILS_SAME` — command still fails with the reported error. Verdict `FIX_DID_NOT_WORK`.
   - `PR_FAILS_DIFFERENT` — command fails with a different error. Verdict `FIX_CHANGED_BEHAVIOR_BUT_NOT_RESOLVED`.

-5. **Always restore the worktree to HEAD_SHA** before exiting, whether the runs succeeded or errored.
+5. **Nothing to restore.** Because you never switch refs, both checkouts are left as you found them. Any build artifacts or `node_modules` you created stay inside the container and die with it at cleanup. Do not try to clean them up.

-### Level 2: Publish nx from the worktree to a local registry and run the external repro (OPT-IN)
+### Level 2: Build the PR in the sandbox and run the external repro (OPT-IN)

 Only attempt Level 2 when `RUN_LEVEL_2: true` is passed by the caller. Default is off — Level 2 takes ~10-15 minutes per invocation.

-Level 2 publishes nx packages from the worktree at HEAD into a local verdaccio instance, then runs the external repro against that build. This is **HEAD-only** — we do not re-publish at master for the baseline. The verdict becomes `PR_REPRO_PASSES` or `PR_REPRO_FAILS`, describing what happened _at the PR_ without trying to confirm the bug existed on master. That limitation is a deliberate trade for wall-clock time. If the caller needs a master baseline, they can run Level 2 twice manually.
+Level 2 delegates the entire job — build, publish, clone, install, run — to the **`reproduce-issue`** skill's PR-build mode, which does all of it inside its own isolated container and destroys it afterward. Nothing builds, installs, or runs on the host, and there is no cleanup of your own to perform.

-**Critical:** you MUST always clean up, even on failure. Use the exit-trap pattern described in step 9 below.

That limitation is a deliberate trade for wall-clock time; if the caller needs a baseline, they can run Level 2 twice manually.

 #### Prerequisites

-1. Node 20+ and pnpm 10.28.2+ in PATH.
-2. Worktree has been built or can be built (`pnpm install` may need to run first).
-3. Port 4873 is free (or a different port is specified via `VERDACCIO_PORT`).
-4. Disk space for `dist/local-registry/storage` (~500MB-1GB).
+1. The `nx-review-sandbox` image exists: `docker image inspect nx-review-sandbox:latest`. If not, run `setup-review-sandbox` — it carries the repo's full toolchain (node/java/dotnet/maven/rust via mise). **java + dotnet are required** because nx dogfoods the `@nx/dotnet` + `@nx/gradle` graph plugins; the build fails without them.
+2. Docker + the isolation runtime (gVisor on Linux / the Docker VM on macOS) + container networking are healthy — see the `reproduce-issue` skill's Preflight.

-If any prerequisite is missing, report and skip Level 2 — do NOT attempt partial setup.
+If a prerequisite is missing, report and skip Level 2 — **never build or run on the host.**

-#### Step 1: Install dependencies in the worktree (if needed)
+#### Step 1: Run the external repro IN THE SANDBOX (via the `reproduce-issue` skill)

-```bash
-cd "$WORKTREE_PATH"
-test -d node_modules || pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
+**Do NOT clone, install, or run the untrusted repro on the host.** Its `install` scripts and repro command are arbitrary third-party code — delegate the whole thing to the **`reproduce-issue`** skill, which clones/creates → rewrites the nx deps → installs → runs the repro → classifies, **all inside an isolated container** (gVisor on Linux, the Docker VM on macOS), then destroys it. There is no host scratch dir.
+
+```
+Skill(skill="reproduce-issue", args="""
+repro: repo:<REPO_URL>            # EXTERNAL_REPO

+expect: <the reported symptom, one line>
+setup: <files the issue says to create first, else omit>
+""")
 ```

-If `pnpm install` fails, stop and report. Do not try to continue.
+The skill returns a block whose `verdict:` is one of `PR_REPRO_PASSES | PR_REPRO_FAILS | PR_REPRO_FAILS_DIFFERENT | PR_REPRO_INCONCLUSIVE | SETUP_FAILED`, plus the exit code and an output tail. **Use that verdict directly** in your report — do not re-run anything on the host. If it returns `SETUP_FAILED`, note which step (clone / create / install) broke; do not fall back to the host.

-#### Step 2: Start the local registry
+**Where the PR's nx comes from.** `nx-build:<HEAD_SHA>` puts the skill's container in PR-build mode: it clones `nrwl/nx`, checks out that SHA, runs `mise install` + `pnpm install`, builds nx, and serves it from a verdaccio on **`localhost` inside that same container**. One container, localhost throughout — no host verdaccio, no `host.docker.internal`, no listen-address change, and no build against `/work/nx`.

-Start verdaccio in the background. It must outlive the publish step but be killable on cleanup.
+#### Step 2: Cleanup — none of it is yours

-```bash
-cd "$WORKTREE_PATH"
-PORT=${VERDACCIO_PORT:-4873}
-pnpm nx local-registry @nx/nx-source --port=$PORT >/tmp/verdaccio-<PR_NUMBER>.log 2>&1 &
-VERDACCIO_PID=$!
-echo "$VERDACCIO_PID" > /tmp/verdaccio-<PR_NUMBER>.pid
-```
+There is nothing for you to tear down: the skill's container self-destructs (`--rm`), and there is no host scratch dir, no host verdaccio process, no host port to free, and no host log file. If a sandbox container ever lingers after a crash, clear it with `/sandbox-prune`.

-Wait up to 60s for the registry to accept connections:
+Leave the review container alone too — `/work/nx` and `/work/base` are removed by the calling skill when the review finishes.

-```bash
-for i in $(seq 1 60); do
-  if curl -sf http://localhost:$PORT/-/ping >/dev/null 2>&1; then break; fi
-  sleep 1
-done
-curl -sf http://localhost:$PORT/-/ping >/dev/null || { echo "verdaccio failed to start"; exit 1; }
-```
-
-If startup fails, kill the pid (if set), report, and exit.
-
-#### Step 3: Publish nx to the local registry
-
-```bash
-cd "$WORKTREE_PATH"
-NX_LOCAL_REGISTRY_PORT=$PORT \
-NX_VERBOSE_LOGGING=true \
-PUBLISHED_VERSION=${TARGET_PUBLISHED_VERSION:-major} \
-pnpm nx populate-local-registry-storage @nx/nx-source 2>&1 | tee /tmp/publish-<PR_NUMBER>.log
-```
-
-This runs `pnpm nx-release --local ${PUBLISHED_VERSION}` internally — it builds all packages, versions them, and publishes to verdaccio. Takes 5-10 minutes. If it fails, capture the error and skip to cleanup.
-
-After success, determine the exact published version:
-
-```bash
-PUBLISHED_NX_VERSION=$(node -p "require('$WORKTREE_PATH/dist/packages/nx/package.json').version")
-echo "Published version: $PUBLISHED_NX_VERSION"
-```
-
-#### Step 4: Prepare the scratch repro workspace
-
-Use `/tmp/pr-<PR_NUMBER>-repro/` as the scratch dir — deliberately outside the nx repo, so the generated/cloned workspace's own nx root can't be mistaken for (or nested inside) the repo you're reviewing. Always wipe it at the start of this step:
-
-```bash
-REPRO_DIR=/tmp/pr-<PR_NUMBER>-repro
-rm -rf "$REPRO_DIR"
-mkdir -p "$REPRO_DIR"
-```
-
-**For `EXTERNAL_REPO`:**
-
-1. Clone the repro repo:
-
-   ```bash
-   git clone --depth=1 <REPO_URL> "$REPRO_DIR"
-   ```
-
-2. Rewrite all `nx` / `@nx/*` / `@nrwl/*` dependency versions in `$REPRO_DIR/package.json` to the exact `$PUBLISHED_NX_VERSION`:
-
-   ```bash
-   node -e '
-     const fs = require("fs");
-     const p = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(process.argv[1], "utf8"));
-     const v = process.argv[2];
-     for (const section of ["dependencies", "devDependencies"]) {
-       const deps = p[section] || {};
-       for (const name of Object.keys(deps)) {
-         if (name === "nx" || name.startsWith("@nx/") || name.startsWith("@nrwl/")) {
-           deps[name] = v;
-         }
-       }
-     }
-     fs.writeFileSync(process.argv[1], JSON.stringify(p, null, 2) + "\n");
-   ' "$REPRO_DIR/package.json" "$PUBLISHED_NX_VERSION"
-   ```
-
-3. If the repo has a lockfile, delete it (it's now stale after the rewrite):
-
-   ```bash
-   rm -f "$REPRO_DIR/package-lock.json" "$REPRO_DIR/pnpm-lock.yaml" "$REPRO_DIR/yarn.lock"
-   ```
-
-4. Detect the package manager (prefer the same one used by the repo; fall back to npm):
-
-   ```bash
-   if test -f "$REPRO_DIR/pnpm-workspace.yaml"; then PM=pnpm;
-   elif grep -q '"packageManager"' "$REPRO_DIR/package.json" 2>/dev/null; then
-     PM=$(node -p "require('$REPRO_DIR/package.json').packageManager?.split('@')[0] || 'npm'")
-   else PM=npm; fi
-   ```
-
-5. Install with the registry env var pointing at verdaccio:
-
-   ```bash
-   cd "$REPRO_DIR"
-   npm_config_registry=http://localhost:$PORT \
-   BUN_CONFIG_REGISTRY=http://localhost:$PORT \
-   YARN_REGISTRY=http://localhost:$PORT \
-   $PM install 2>&1 | tee /tmp/install-<PR_NUMBER>.log
-   ```
-
-   If install fails, capture why. Common causes: lockfile not deleted, version mismatch the rewrite didn't catch (peer deps of sibling packages), missing `@nx/*` plugins in our publish set. Record and stop.
-
-**For `GENERATED_WORKSPACE`:**
-
-Instead of cloning, run `create-nx-workspace` pointed at the local registry:
-
-```bash
-cd /tmp
-npm_config_registry=http://localhost:$PORT \
-BUN_CONFIG_REGISTRY=http://localhost:$PORT \
-YARN_REGISTRY=http://localhost:$PORT \
-npx --yes create-nx-workspace@$PUBLISHED_NX_VERSION \
-  --name=pr-<PR_NUMBER>-repro \
-  --preset=<PRESET_FROM_ISSUE> \
-  --no-interactive \
-  --skipGit \
-  <OTHER_FLAGS_FROM_ISSUE> 2>&1 | tee /tmp/create-workspace-<PR_NUMBER>.log
-```
-
-Pull `<PRESET_FROM_ISSUE>` and `<OTHER_FLAGS_FROM_ISSUE>` from the reported repro steps. If the issue doesn't specify a preset, use `apps` as a safe default and flag it in the report.
-
-#### Step 5: Run the reported repro command
-
-Extract the exact command from the issue body. If it references specific files to create first, create them in the scratch dir. Run with a timeout:
-
-```bash
-cd "$REPRO_DIR"
-timeout 300 <REPRO_COMMAND> 2>&1 | tee /tmp/repro-<PR_NUMBER>.log
-REPRO_EXIT=$?
-```
-
-Note: `timeout` may not be available on macOS by default — use `gtimeout` (from `brew install coreutils`) or emulate with a background kill. If neither is available, run without a timeout but watch carefully.
-
-#### Step 6: Classify the outcome
-
-Compare the output (`/tmp/repro-<PR_NUMBER>.log` + `REPRO_EXIT`) to the reported behavior:
-
- `PR_REPRO_PASSES` — the command succeeded, matching the PR's claimed fix. Verdict.
- `PR_REPRO_FAILS_WITH_REPORTED_ERROR` — the command failed with the same error the issue describes. The PR did NOT fix the bug. Verdict `PR_REPRO_FAILS`.
- `PR_REPRO_FAILS_DIFFERENT` — the command failed but with a different error. Flag for human review — may be env-specific or a related-but-different bug.
- `PR_REPRO_INCONCLUSIVE` — output doesn't clearly match either direction. Capture the tail of the log and stop.
-
-#### Step 7: Always clean up (cleanup trap)
-
-Cleanup MUST run on every exit path — success, failure, or early-abort. Do these in order:
-
-```bash
-# 1. Kill verdaccio
-if test -f /tmp/verdaccio-<PR_NUMBER>.pid; then
-  VPID=$(cat /tmp/verdaccio-<PR_NUMBER>.pid)
-  kill "$VPID" 2>/dev/null || true
-  sleep 2
-  kill -9 "$VPID" 2>/dev/null || true
-fi
-
-# 2. Belt-and-suspenders: free the port even if pid is gone
-npx -y kill-port $PORT 2>/dev/null || true
-
-# 3. Remove scratch workspace
-rm -rf /tmp/pr-<PR_NUMBER>-repro
-
-# 4. Remove the ephemeral logs only AFTER capturing their tails in your report
-#    Keep them on failure so the user can inspect them:
-#    - /tmp/verdaccio-<PR_NUMBER>.log
-#    - /tmp/publish-<PR_NUMBER>.log
-#    - /tmp/install-<PR_NUMBER>.log  (or create-workspace)
-#    - /tmp/repro-<PR_NUMBER>.log
-```
-
-Do NOT `rm -rf dist/local-registry/storage` in the nx worktree — that storage is shared state used by E2E tests. Leave it.
-
-#### Step 8: Report
+#### Step 3: Report

 Add a `### Level 2 reproduction` block to your output (see "Output format" below).

 ## Rules

- **Never modify files in the worktree.** Your job is to observe, not edit. `git stash` is fine as a read-only preserve; never `git reset` or delete files.
+- **Never edit tracked files in `/work/nx` or `/work/base`.** Your job is to observe, not edit — and the review agents are reading `/work/nx` concurrently. Never `git checkout`, `git reset`, `git stash`, or delete files. Build output and `node_modules` produced by running the repro are expected and fine.
 - **Never push commits or open PRs.**
- **Always restore the worktree to HEAD_SHA before exiting**, including on error paths.
+- **Never run anything on the host.** Every install, build, test, and repro command goes through `docker exec "$CONTAINER" bash -lc '…'`.
 - **Never download or execute scripts from issue URLs** that aren't github.com/nrwl/nx or github.com/<user>/<repo> already referenced in the issue.
- **Command timeout.** If a repro command has been running for more than 5 minutes, capture output and kill it. Long-running repros need Level 2 infrastructure you don't have.
+- **Command timeout.** If a repro command has been running for more than 5 minutes, capture output and kill it. Long-running repros need the Level 2 path, which is opt-in via `RUN_LEVEL_2` and not enabled for this run.
 - **If environment is missing** (Maven, Gradle, specific Node version) — report the missing dependency and do not attempt to install anything. The user can rerun manually.

+description: Use this agent during PR review to hunt injection-class vulnerabilities in a PR's changes - command injection, zip-slip and path traversal, prototype pollution, SSRF, credential leakage, and unsafe deserialization. It reports a finding only when untrusted data actually crosses a trust boundary into a dangerous sink; code that merely handles trusted workspace config is endorsed as sound so the reviewer knows security was checked. Read-only on the sandbox checkout.

+# Security Analyst
+
+You evaluate whether a PR's changes introduce a security vulnerability. Other agents review correctness and cost; you review whether _untrusted data can reach a dangerous sink_. Your value is precision: nx is a build tool that by design executes arbitrary workspace code, so most "user input flows into exec" patterns are inside the trust boundary and are non-findings. A real finding shows data from OUTSIDE the workspace's trust boundary reaching a sink.
+
+## Inputs (provided by the caller)
+
+- `PR_NUMBER` — the PR under review in nrwl/nx
+- `CONTAINER` — the sandbox container holding the PR checkout at `/work/nx` (gVisor on Linux, the Docker VM on macOS). The PR is **not** on the host.
+- `DIFF` — host-side file holding the PR diff. Your primary review surface; read it with `Read`.
+- `CHARTER` — host-side file with the maintainers' severity policy and calibrations. Read it first — it bounds what you may report.
+- `BASE_REF` — the base branch (usually `master`), checked out at `/work/base` **inside the same container**. Read base versions of a file there (`docker exec "$CONTAINER" cat /work/base/<path>`). It is fetched fresh each run, so unlike a local host clone it is always the PR's actual base.
+
+### Reading the PR source
+
+Your native `Read`/`Grep`/`Glob` tools see only the host filesystem, where the PR does not exist. They will silently find nothing. Reach the checkout only through `docker exec`:
+
+```bash
+docker exec "$CONTAINER" cat /work/nx/<path>                      # read a file
+docker exec "$CONTAINER" grep -rn "<pattern>" /work/nx/<subdir>   # search
+docker exec "$CONTAINER" find /work/nx -name '<glob>'             # locate files
+docker exec "$CONTAINER" sed -n '<a>,<b>p' /work/nx/<path>        # read a line range
+```
+
+`Read` is still correct for the host files above (`DIFF`, `CHARTER`).
+
+**Never execute PR code.** You are a read-only analyst. `cat`/`grep`/`find`/`sed`/`git show` inside the container are reads and are fine; installs, builds, tests, and reproductions are not yours to run — not in the container, and never on the host.
+
+### Required output preamble
+
+Open every report with exactly these three lines:
+
+```
+REVIEWED: <how many changed files you actually opened>
+EVIDENCE_LINE: <the line number in $DIFF of the line you quote below>
+EVIDENCE_TEXT: <that exact line, verbatim — begins with `+` or `-`, 20+ chars after the sign, and
+               NOT a `diff --git` / `index` / `---` / `+++` / `@@` line>
+```
+
+The caller reads the diff at EVIDENCE_LINE and checks it equals EVIDENCE_TEXT. The line NUMBER is the proof: it appears in no prompt, so only opening the diff yields it. A filename or a `diff --git` header is **not** acceptable — both are derivable from the changed-file list in your prompt.
+
+This applies to an endorsement exactly as it applies to a finding, and matters more there. Your `*_SOUND` verdict is folded into the review as an affirmative statement that this dimension was audited. If your tools silently returned nothing (they see only the host, where the PR does not exist), "I found no problems" and "I looked at no code" produce identical text — the EVIDENCE line is what separates them. A `*_SOUND` verdict whose EVIDENCE does not verify is recorded as **failed**, not as a strength.
+
+## The trust model (read this before flagging anything)
+
+**Trusted** (attacker controlling these already owns the machine — never a finding):
+
+- The workspace itself: `nx.json`, `project.json`, `package.json`, workspace source files, local plugins, executor/generator options, CLI arguments typed by the user.
+- Migration metadata and `migrations.json` — `nx migrate` runs migrations as arbitrary code by explicit design.
+- Installed node_modules content and the plugins nx loads from them.
+- The local nx cache directory and daemon socket (same-user filesystem access).
+
+**Untrusted** (data crossing from here into a sink IS a finding):
+
+- Network responses: npm registry metadata, GitHub/GitLab API responses, Nx Cloud / remote-cache payloads, anything fetched over HTTP.
+- Remote cache artifacts and any archive downloaded then extracted (tarballs, zips) — zip-slip territory.
+- Git data that originates from other people: commit messages, tag names, branch names, author fields (these flow into changelogs, release bodies, and shell commands).
+- Cloned reproduction repos or template repos (`create-nx-workspace` presets fetched from the network).
+- Environment content on shared CI only when the PR newly writes it somewhere privileged.
+
+When in doubt whether a source is trusted, trace where it enters the process. "Comes from a function parameter" is not an answer — walk the callers to the origin.
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. **Read the diff.** `Read` the host file at `$DIFF`. List every changed code path that touches a sink class below (skip tests, docs, fixtures). For surrounding context, read the full file out of the container (`docker exec "$CONTAINER" cat /work/nx/<path>`).
+
+2. **Hunt injection sinks.** In changed code, look for:
+   - **Command injection:** string-built shell commands (`exec`/`execSync` with interpolation, `sh -c`, backticks in Rust `Command` misuse) where any argument originates from an untrusted source. Prefer-args-array (`execFile`, `spawn` without `shell: true`) with untrusted args is usually safe — flag only flag-injection (`--upload-pack`-style) when args reach git/npm/tar.
+   - **Zip-slip / path traversal:** archive extraction (tar, zip, remote cache restore) writing entries without normalizing + containment-checking each path (`..` segments, absolute paths, symlink entries). Also path joins where an untrusted segment reaches `fs` writes/reads outside the intended root.
+   - **Prototype pollution:** deep-merge/assign of untrusted JSON into objects later used for lookups or spread into options (`__proto__`, `constructor.prototype` keys).
+   - **Unsafe deserialization / eval:** `eval`, `new Function`, `vm.runInContext`, YAML `load` (vs `safeLoad`-equivalent) on untrusted content.
+   - **Non-obvious shell execution primitives (RCE) — being inside double quotes or passed as one argument is NOT safety.** These _run arbitrary commands_; the value must never reach them un-validated (round-trip it through a file — `Write` + `VAR=$(cat file)`, which never re-parses the bytes — or strictly pre-validate, e.g. pure-digit, _before_ use):
+     - **GNU `sed`** runs shell commands via its `e` command, so `sed -n "${UNTRUSTED}p"` or `sed "$UNTRUSTED"` with an attacker-controlled address/script is code execution. (Its `r`/`w` read/write files — not RCE, but still an untrusted-path sink.)
+     - **Shell assignment-prefix:** `VAR=<untrusted> cmd` parses as "set VAR for the duration of `cmd`" and **runs `cmd`** — so pasting attacker text straight into `LINE=<paste>` executes any `$(…)`/backtick it contains _before any later gate runs_. The assignment is itself a sink.
+     - **`awk`** `system()` / `getline` when untrusted reaches the _program_ (not merely the data); **arithmetic** `$(( <untrusted> ))` (an array subscript like `a[$(cmd)]` is command-substituted during evaluation); **`printf -v <untrusted-name>`** when the attacker controls the _target variable name_ (same array-subscript trick); and the obvious ones — `eval`, `$(…)`/backticks, `bash -c`/`sh -c` on a built string.
+   - **Injection/logic vectors that are NOT code execution** — still real bugs (a check bypass, corrupted output, unexpected args), but do not report them as "RCE," and note that for most of these _quoting IS the fix_:
+     - **`[ ]`/`test` with unquoted operands** — word-splitting injects operators (`-o`/`-a`/`-eq`) to flip a check's result; a logic bypass, not execution. Quoting the operand neutralizes it.
+     - **Glob / word-splitting** on any unquoted expansion — argument injection / unexpected file matching; quoting neutralizes it.
+     - **`printf`** — untrusted in the _format position_ (`printf "$UNTRUSTED"`) is format-string injection (stray `%` directives), and `printf '%b' "$UNTRUSTED"` interprets backslash escapes / emits control bytes → group these with the terminal-escape _output-injection_ sink below, not with execution. Neither runs a command.
+     - **`find -exec` / `xargs`** — RCE only if untrusted controls the _command string_; when it is merely a filename argument it is arg-injection, not execution.
+
+3. **Hunt data-exposure sinks.** In changed code, look for:
+   - **Credential leakage:** tokens/auth headers written to logs, error messages, changelogs, cache keys, or telemetry; secrets interpolated into URLs that get logged.
+   - **SSRF / URL injection:** untrusted strings composed into fetch/axios URLs (registry endpoints, webhook targets) without scheme/host validation, especially when the response is then trusted.
+   - **Injection into rendered output:** untrusted text (commit messages, issue titles) placed into HTML, markdown link targets, or terminal escape sequences without escaping.
+
+4. **Trace every candidate end-to-end — including the assignment.** For each suspect, establish the full chain: origin (which untrusted source) → _how it is read/assigned into a variable_ → transformations (any sanitization on the way?) → sink (what damage). The read/assignment step is not a safe no-op — it is a sink for the shell primitives above — so check it, not just the final use. Read the actual sanitization code — do not assume a function named `sanitize`/`normalize` is sufficient; check it against the attack (e.g. does the path check run after resolving symlinks?). When you confirm one sink, sweep the change for sibling occurrences of the same class before you finish — a fix at one sink often leaves the same class open one hop upstream or in a parallel branch.
+
+5. **Compare against the base when unsure.** Pre-existing vulnerable patterns the PR merely moves or repeats are advisory context, not findings against this PR (note them in one line if serious). New-in-diff is your beat.
+
+## Calibration
+
+- **Untrusted source → sink, chain verified** → report (critical if exploitation is plausible in a default setup; important if it needs a nonstandard configuration).
+- **Sink fed only by trusted workspace data** → not a finding, even for `execSync` with interpolation. Nx executes workspace code by design.
+- **Hardening suggestions** (add validation "just in case", defense-in-depth without a traced attack path) → never a finding; the repo rejects speculative guards.
+- **Dependency CVEs / version bumps** → out of scope; dependabot's beat, not yours.
+- A finding without a complete origin-to-sink chain is a hunch — drop it.
+
+## Verdicts (report exactly one)
+
+- `SECURITY_SOUND` — no untrusted data reaches a dangerous sink in the changed code. Write 2-4 sentences naming what you checked (which sinks, which sources you traced) so the reviewer knows security was actually examined, not skipped.
+- `SECURITY_CONCERN` — a traced chain exists but exploitation requires a nonstandard configuration or an already-privileged position; a maintainer should fix it before merge. Important-level.
+- `SECURITY_VULNERABILITY` — a complete, plausible chain from an untrusted source to a dangerous sink in a default setup (e.g. a malicious remote-cache artifact escaping the extraction root). Critical-level. Include the concrete attack scenario.
+
+When in doubt between `SECURITY_SOUND` and `SECURITY_CONCERN`, endorse — unfounded security flags erode trust in real ones.
+
+## Rules
+
+- **Read-only.** Never modify the sandbox checkout, never check out other refs — the other review agents are reading `/work/nx` concurrently.
+- **Ground every claim** with the full origin → sink chain and file:line references at each hop.
+- Don't duplicate the other agents: correctness, style, tests, and performance are not your beat — only exploitability.
+- Report findings factually in the draft; do not write exploit code.
+
+## Output format

-# Diagnose Sandbox Report
-
-## Overview
-
-Sandbox violations occur when an Nx task reads files not declared as inputs or writes files not declared as outputs.
-
-**Unexpected reads** are one of:
-
-1. **Missing input** (most likely) — the process legitimately needs this file. Understand what the process does and why the access makes sense, then declare it as an input.
-2. **Potential sandboxing gap** (last resort) — the access is irrelevant to correctness and should be filtered/ignored by the sandbox. Only conclude this after exhausting every possibility for it being a missing input.
-
-**Unexpected writes** follow the same logic:
-
-1. **Missing output** (most likely) — the process legitimately produces this file.
-2. **Potential sandboxing gap** (last resort) — same as above.
-
-The default assumption is that an unexpected access IS a missing declaration. The investigation's job is to understand WHY the process accesses the file — not to find reasons it shouldn't.
-
-## Critical Rules
-
-1. **NEVER read the sandbox report JSON directly** — these files are too large for the Read tool (50K+ tokens). Do NOT use `Read`, `cat`, `head`, `python3`, or `jq` on the raw report. All report parsing is handled by the script.
-2. **ALWAYS run the context-gathering script as the very first step** — no manual parsing, no ad-hoc python/jq on the report file. The script does everything deterministically.
-3. If the script fails, **report the error and stop**. Do not attempt manual parsing as a fallback.
-4. **Identify the inferring plugin BEFORE proposing any fix** — check `inference.plugin` in the script output or run `jq '.targets.<target>.metadata' <detail-file>`. Fixing the wrong plugin wastes entire investigation rounds.
-5. **Verify hypotheses empirically before committing to them** — see Principle 4 and the Phase 2 instrumentation guidance.
-
-## Workflow
-
-### Phase 0: Input
-
-User provides one of:
-
- Path to a sandbox report JSON file
- A URL to a sandbox report — pass it directly to the script, it handles downloading
- A task ID + CIPE URL (fetch report via MCP if available)
- Inline violation data
-
-If a task ID is provided but no report, ask the user for the report file.
-
-**Filtering**: Most invocations will focus on specific files, not the entire report. The user may specify:
-
- A single file: `e2e.log`
- A comma-separated list: `apps/nx-cloud/e2e.log,apps/nx-cloud/build/client/assets/main.js`
- A glob pattern: `*.tsbuildinfo`, `apps/nx-cloud/build/**`
- A directory prefix: `apps/nx-cloud/build/client/assets`
-
-When the user specifies files to focus on, pass them via `--filter` to the script. When they don't specify a filter and the report has many violations, summarize the groupings (by directory, extension) and ask which group(s) to investigate first rather than trying to investigate everything at once.
-
-### Phase 1: Deterministic Pre-Processing
-
-Run the context-gathering script **immediately** — this is the first tool call after reading the user's input.
-
-Call it exactly as shown — do NOT append `2>&1` or `2>/dev/null` (the script manages its own stderr internally). Run in the **foreground** (no `run_in_background`) with a **3-minute timeout** — reports can be large and the script runs the task + multiple nx commands:
-
-```bash
-npx tsx ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/gather-sandbox-context.ts <report.json or URL> [--filter <pattern>] [--workspace <path>]
-```
-
-Pass `--filter` when the user wants to focus on specific files or patterns. The script filters violations before all downstream processing (grouping, validation, classification), so the output only contains relevant data.
-
-The script produces two outputs:
-
-**stdout** (~3-5KB compact brief) — everything needed to start investigating:
-
- `summary`: violation counts (total, filtered, confirmed vs undeclared)
- `undeclaredFiles`: the actual file paths that are true violations
- `grouping`: violations grouped by directory and extension
- `commands`: processes with violations (pid, cmd, executable, arguments, counts) — no full file lists
- `classificationSummary`: counts per category (cross-project, build artifacts, config files, etc.)
- `crossProjectDependencyCheck`: whether cross-project file owners are in the task's dependency chain
- `staleDeclarations`: grouped analysis of expectedInputsNotRead / expectedOutputsNotWritten
- `dependentTasksOutputFiles`: extracted from target inputs config and named inputs — shows what dep output globs are declared (critical for cross-project violations)
- `executorInfo`: executor name and resolved source path in `node_modules` — read this file to understand how the tool is invoked
- `checkSample`: results of `--check` on up to 5 undeclared files (catches false positives early)
- `inference` + `pluginRegistration`: plugin metadata
- `verificationCommands`: pre-built `--check` commands with the correct task ref
- `detailFile`: path to the full detail JSON
-
-**detail file** (`/tmp/sandbox-diagnosis-detail-<project>-<target>.json`) — full data for drill-down. Structure:
-
- `processTree.processTree`: array of `{pid, cmd, parentPid}` entries
- `processTree.processPidToCmd`: `{ "pid": "command string" }` map
- `processTree.readsByPid`: `{ "pid": ["file1", "file2"] }` — violated reads grouped by PID
- `processTree.writesByPid`: `{ "pid": ["file1", "file2"] }` — violated writes grouped by PID
- `targetConfig`: full target configuration (executor, options, inputs, outputs, dependsOn)
- `projectConfig`: full project configuration
- `resolvedInputs`: `{ files: [...], depOutputs: [...], runtime: [...], environment: [...] }`
- `resolvedOutputs`: `{ outputPaths: [...], expandedOutputs: [...] }`
- `validation`: `{ reads: { confirmed: [...], undeclared: [...] }, writes: { ... } }`
- `classification`: `{ reads: { crossProject, buildArtifacts, configFiles, ... }, writes: { ... } }`
-
-Read the brief output — it has everything to start. Use `jq` on the detail file only when you need to drill into specific sections. When querying the detail file, use the structure above — do not guess the schema. Do NOT use Python, ad-hoc scripts, or the Read tool on the detail file — only `jq`.
-
-For reports with many violations, use `--filter` to narrow scope. When investigating without a filter, use the `grouping` data to identify patterns and prioritize — don't try to trace every file individually.
-
-If `summary.undeclaredReads` and `summary.undeclaredWrites` are both 0, all violations were resolved by the script's validation against resolved inputs/outputs. Report this to the user — no further investigation needed.
-
-The `commands` array pre-parses each process — use `executable` and `arguments` to identify the tool without re-parsing `cmd`. When many files share the same root cause, group them under one finding using a glob pattern or count (e.g., "88 `.d.ts` files matching `packages/nx/dist/**/*.d.ts`").
-
-### Phase 2: Command Analysis — the core investigation
-
-**This is the most important phase.** The goal is to determine with 100% certainty why each process reads or writes each violated file. Do not classify violations from file names or paths alone — trace the actual causal chain from command → config → file access.
-
-#### Step 1: Understand the command
-
-The brief's `commands` array pre-parses each process. Use the `executable` and `arguments` fields directly — don't re-parse `cmd`. Identify:
-
- The tool (from `executable`)
- The arguments (target files/dirs, config flags, extensions — from `arguments`)
- The working directory (from executor options or project root)
-
-#### Step 2: Trace why the command accesses each violated file
-
-For each violated file, establish the **exact causal chain** that leads the command to read or write it. The approach is the same regardless of tool:
-
-1. Identify the tool's config file (usually in the project root or workspace root)
-2. Read the config and trace file references: `includes`, `extends`, `presets`, entry points, plugins
-3. Follow the reference chain until you can explain exactly why the violated file is accessed
-
-Common causal patterns:
-
- **Config chain walk-up**: tool reads config, config extends another, chain reaches the violated file (e.g., tsconfig `extends`, eslint config chain, jest preset chain)
- **Directory traversal**: tool scans a directory for matching files and reads everything, including files it won't process (e.g., jest-haste-map scanning `.next/`, eslint reading `.d.ts` alongside `.ts`)
- **Dependency resolution**: tool resolves imports/requires and follows the dependency graph to files outside the project (e.g., esbuild/vite/webpack resolving workspace packages to their dist outputs)
- **Plugin/transformer loading**: tool loads plugins or transformers that read additional files (e.g., ts-jest loading tsconfig for TypeScript compilation)
-
-For any tool, read its source code in `node_modules` to understand its file discovery behavior. Don't assume — trace the actual code.
-
-**You must be able to explain the full path:** e.g., "eslint loads `.eslintrc.json` → configures `@typescript-eslint/parser` → parser resolves `parserOptions.project` → walks up to find `tsconfig.json` → reads it." If you can't trace the full path, keep investigating — do not guess.
-
-**When theoretical analysis is inconclusive, verify empirically.** For difficult cases, instrument `node_modules` with interceptors to capture real stack traces. For example, patch `fs.readFileSync` in the tool's entry point to log stack traces when the violated file is accessed. A confirmed stack trace is worth more than multiple rounds of code reading.
-
-#### Step 3: Confirm the violation with `--check`
-
-**This step is mandatory — do not skip it.** The script already runs `--check` on a sample of up to 5 undeclared files (see `checkSample` in the brief). Review those results first — if the sample files are confirmed as inputs/outputs, the corresponding violations are false positives.
-
-For files not in the sample, use the pre-generated commands from `verificationCommands` in the brief:
-
-```bash
-npx nx show target inputs <project>:<target> --check <violated-read-files>
-npx nx show target outputs <project>:<target> --check <violated-write-files>
-```
-
-If the commands fail because output files don't exist (e.g., the script's task run timed out), run the task first with `verificationCommands.runTask`.
-
-If `--check` shows the file IS already an input/output, the violation is a false positive from the script's static analysis. If it confirms the file is NOT an input/output, proceed to classification.
-
-#### Step 4: Classify
-
-With the causal chain established and the violation confirmed, classify into one of these categories:
-
-1. **Missing input/output** (most common) — the process legitimately needs this file. Understand why:
-   - **Direct dependency** — the tool needs this file to do its job (e.g., tsc reads referenced tsconfigs, eslint loads config chain)
-   - **Transitive dependency** — a config file references another file that references this one (e.g., jest preset → resolver → module). Trace the full chain.
-   - **Directory traversal side effect** — the tool reads all files in a directory even if it only processes some (e.g., eslint reads `.d.ts` files while linting `.ts`). Still a legitimate access from the tool's perspective.
-
-2. **Bad tool configuration** — the tool accesses a file it shouldn't because its scope is too broad. The fix is fixing the tool's config, NOT adding an input. Investigate:
-   - Is the command targeting too broad a directory? (e.g., `eslint .` instead of `eslint src/`)
-   - Is a config file missing ignore/exclude rules? (e.g., eslint processing a file type it should skip)
-   - Is a plugin inferring a target for a project that doesn't match? (e.g., eslint target on a non-JS project)
-   - Is an env var causing the tool to behave differently?
-
-3. **Potential sandboxing gap** (last resort) — the access is genuinely irrelevant to correctness (PID files, temp sockets, dev server logs that no task consumes). Only conclude this after exhausting categories 1 and 2.
-
-### Phase 3: Deep Investigation
-
-For violations that aren't immediately obvious, investigate further:
-
-#### If the target is inferred by a plugin
-
-1. Identify which plugin from `inference.plugin` in the brief output, or `nx show project --json` metadata
-2. Read the plugin's `createNodesV2` implementation to understand inference logic
-3. Determine if this project should have this target at all
-4. Check if the plugin has `include`/`exclude` patterns in `nx.json` that should filter this project
-5. **Check for input override layers** — `project.json`, `package.json`, or `nx.json` `targetDefaults` may override plugin-inferred inputs, rendering plugin-level fixes invisible. Check all three before concluding a plugin fix is sufficient.
-
-#### If violations come from a subprocess
-
-1. Trace the process tree: which parent spawned the subprocess?
-2. Why does the subprocess exist? (dev server for e2e, worker thread, build tool subprocess)
-3. What environment does the subprocess inherit? (env vars, cwd)
-4. Does the subprocess access files in a different project's directory?
-
-#### If violations involve config file reference chains
-
-1. Read the config file (jest.config, tsconfig, .eslintrc)
-2. Trace all file references: `preset`, `extends`, `references`, `setupFiles`, `resolver`, `moduleNameMapper`, `transform`, etc.
-3. Recursively resolve references (preset → preset → files)
-4. Determine which referenced files are not declared as task inputs
-
-#### If violations involve dependency task outputs
-
-1. Check `dependsOn` to understand task dependency chain
-2. Check `dependentTasksOutputFiles` glob pattern — is it too narrow?
-3. Compare the glob against actual file types the tool reads from dependencies (e.g., `**/*.d.ts` missing `.tsbuildinfo`)
-
-#### Generalizability analysis
-
-After diagnosing the root cause, determine scope:
-
-1. Is this violation specific to this project, or does it affect all projects using this tool/plugin?
-2. What conditions trigger it? (specific config, specific tool version, specific project structure)
-3. Should the fix be per-project (declarative input) or systemic (plugin improvement)?
-4. If the plugin can be made smarter to infer the correct inputs, that's preferable to manual declarations.
-
-### Phase 4: Output
-
-**You MUST present findings using the structured format below before proceeding to any implementation discussion.** Do not use free-form narrative — the structure ensures completeness and makes findings reviewable.
-
-Present findings grouped by category:

-
-## Verification Plan
-For each fix, provide the exact commands to verify:
-1. Run the task so output files exist on disk: `npx nx <target> <project> --skip-nx-cache`
-2. Check each violation file is now an input: `npx nx show target <project>:<target> inputs --check <space-separated files>`
-3. For plugin-level fixes: build the plugin, patch node_modules, then verify with steps 1-2
-```
-
-## Principles
-
-1. **Missing declaration is the default.** Most unexpected accesses are legitimate — the process needs the file, it just wasn't declared. Start from this assumption and investigate to understand WHY the access happens.
-2. **The command is the unit of analysis.** Don't classify files in isolation. Understand what the command does and whether each file access makes sense given that command's purpose.
-3. **Trace the full chain.** Plugin inference → target config → executor → command → file access. The root cause is often several layers removed from the symptom.
-4. **Empirical over theoretical.** When code analysis produces a hypothesis, verify it before acting. Instrument `node_modules`, capture stack traces, run with debug flags. Wrong theories waste entire investigation rounds.
-5. **Be thorough.** Read plugin source code, config files, executor implementations. Don't guess based on file names alone.
-6. **Potential sandboxing gaps are last resort.** Only conclude this after exhausting missing declaration and bad tool config. The access must be genuinely irrelevant to correctness.
-7. **Verify claims about Nx behavior in source code.** Any assertion about how Nx works must be traced to the actual implementation. Do not reason from theory or assumptions.
-8. **Prefer systemic fixes over per-project declarations.** If a plugin can be improved to infer correct inputs for all projects, that's better than adding manual input declarations to each project.
-
-## Delegating to Subagents
-
-When the investigation is complex and requires parallel research, you can delegate to subagents. Follow this pattern:
-
-1. **Run the context-gathering script yourself first.** The brief output (~3-5KB) is the shared context all subagents need.
-2. **Include the brief output in each subagent prompt** along with the specific question to investigate. Subagents should NOT run the script again or try to parse the raw report.
-3. **Give subagents the detail file path** so they can `jq` specific sections (process tree, resolved inputs, etc.) without re-running the script.
-4. **Each subagent should answer one focused question**, e.g., "Why does PID 12345 (eslint) read `tsconfig.base.json`? Trace the full causal chain from the eslint config."
-5. **Subagents must still follow the skill principles** — trace full causal chains, verify empirically, use `--check`, don't guess from file names. Include these instructions in the subagent prompt.
-6. **Synthesize subagent results yourself** using the structured Phase 4 output format. Do not delegate the final classification.

-
-Violations are computed by `findUnexpectedFiles()` using `minimatch`:
-
- A file is "unexpected" if it does NOT match any declared pattern
- Patterns without wildcards also match as directory prefixes (`pattern + '/'`)
- If `unexpectedReads`/`unexpectedWrites` are pre-computed in the report, those are used directly

+  Author or scope a first-party Nx migration. Use whenever code removes, renames,
+  or deprecates an option/flag/executor/generator-schema field, changes a default,
+  or bumps a dependency, and someone asks whether existing workspaces need a
+  migration so they don't break on `nx migrate`/upgrade. Covers writing the
+  colocated update-VER/NAME.{ts,spec.ts,md} set, the migrations.json entry
+  (version, requires, implementation, prompt, documentation) or packageJsonUpdates
+  group, and the AI-agent prompt/runbook .md for prompt-only or hybrid
+  (generator + prompt) migrations. Also covers porting an upstream framework's own
+  migrations into Nx. Invoke BEFORE writing, fixing, or editing any migration,
+  migration prompt/runbook, or packageJsonUpdates group, and before concluding a
+  breaking change needs no migration at all.

+# Author a first-party Nx migration
+
+Companion files in this directory:
+
+- [runtime-contract.md](runtime-contract.md): how `nx migrate` consumes every migrations.json key. Read it before wiring an entry; most authoring mistakes are wrong assumptions about this contract.
+- [deprecated-patterns.md](deprecated-patterns.md): patterns to never reproduce, with recognition signatures. Read it before copying from an existing migration or from git history.
+- [templates/](templates/): entry shapes, spec skeleton, and the two .md genres.
+
+## 1. Decompose the change into migration needs
+
+Enumerate every breaking or behavior-changing item in the change (upstream changelog, upstream migration guide, upstream repo's own migrations directory, or the Nx-internal change itself). Classify each item with exactly one treatment:
+
+| Treatment                 | When                                                                                                                                                                 | Shape                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |

+| Plain bump                | Dependency versions change, nothing else                                                                                                                             | Declarative `packageJsonUpdates`.

+
+Every treatment that produces a `generators` entry also ships the section-6 `documentation` .md, set on the entry's `documentation` key; `packageJsonUpdates` groups have no documentation key.
+
+Never author: executor-to-inferred conversions (that is the user-invoked `convert-to-inferred` generator, not a migration), or migrations for unreleased/speculative upstream behavior.
+
+A break qualifies for an entry only when it survives plugin-side compat and reaches users' own files. If the plugin absorbs it for every shape it emits or manages, classify it Nothing and name the absorbing code in the coverage mapping (below). If it reaches configuration users wrote in an Nx-scaffolded or Nx-documented surface that the plugin passes through, author the migration (the rspack v2 migration generator rewrites user-file options like `libraryTarget`, a plugin-managed default users override explicitly). If it is only expressible in layouts no Nx surface produces (a construct the generated config shape turns into a no-op), classify it Nothing: the upstream migration guide owns it, and a speculative prompt migration for such shapes is over-production, not coverage. A shape between these (user-written and passed through by the plugin, but in no Nx-scaffolded or Nx-documented surface) defaults to authoring; record the call in the coverage mapping. This decides whether an entry exists at all; once one does, the implementation still covers every hand-written shape of the construct it edits (section 4).
+
+When a change could be handled by a migration generator (the deterministic implementation; what general usage calls a codemod) or a prompt, the generator wins: deterministic transforms are faster, produce the same output for the same input, and are the only part guaranteed to run for every user (prompts execute only under the agentic flow; in plain runs they surface as next steps that may never happen). Enumerate the scenarios and edge cases the change can hit, then partition: everything transformable with guaranteed correctness goes in the implementation; only the remainder goes to a prompt. Prompt-only is a last resort, for changes with no safely-automatable subset at all; if any subset is mechanical, ship a hybrid whose .ts does the safe part and hands off the rest per the contract in section 4. The justification for a prompt-only classification in the `## Migration coverage` mapping below must say why a generator cannot guarantee correctness, not why it is harder to write.
+
+Record the mapping in the PR description under a `## Migration coverage` heading: one line per upstream item, its treatment, and a one-clause justification for anything classified Nothing or prompt-only.
+
+## 2. Version and gating
+
+### Entry version
+
+The version field is a gate, not a label: an entry runs when `installed < version <= target` with semver prerelease ordering (see [runtime-contract.md](runtime-contract.md)).
+
+- The target train is the developer's decision, made once per authoring task and covering every entry and `packageJsonUpdates` group in the change: the work may target a train other than the active one. When the task does not state a target, ask the developer, phrased as "Which version should the migration target?" (release-train framing belongs in the option descriptions, not the question), presenting the options printed by `node .claude/skills/author-migration/scripts/compute-target-versions.mjs` (anchored on `npm view nx dist-tags`; needs the repo's node_modules installed for `semver`). What it computes:
+  - `next` is a prerelease above `latest` (an active prerelease train): that train's exact next prerelease (`next` `23.1.0-beta.8` -> `23.1.0-beta.9`). Recommended default.
+  - Otherwise (the train rolled over, no new prerelease cut yet): the next minor at beta.0 (`latest` `23.2.0` -> `23.3.0-beta.0`).
+  - In either case, when `next` is not a major bump over `latest` (e.g. latest `22.4.1`, next `22.5.0-beta.3`): additionally the next major at beta.0 (`23.0.0-beta.0`) for breaking work aimed at the upcoming major; the option must say that the branch, not the version field, chooses the ship vehicle, so this waits for the train switch.
+  - Free-text entry covers trains none of the computed options match.
+- Non-interactive runs have no one to ask: use the script's recommended default and flag the choice in the PR notes, naming which computed option you took when more than one applied. Treat a run as non-interactive only when there is no channel to ask at all; if you can ask, ask, even when the version need only surfaces at the end of the work.
+- Never a bare final version (prerelease users would skip it) and never a backdated prerelease (users past that prerelease silently skip it). All entries in the change use the chosen train's exact next prerelease, even when batching related migrations.
+- The version field does not choose which release ships the code; the branch does. A breaking migration must wait for the train switch before merging (the SVGR removal was fully reverted for landing on the wrong train).
+- Fixing a shipped migration: amend the implementation in place AND bump the entry version to the current next prerelease so workspaces that already ran the broken version re-run it. The re-stamped version is still the train choice: when the task did not state the train, ask, using the computed options above; the current next prerelease is not a self-sufficient default just because it can be computed.
+
+### requires
+
+- `requires` evaluates against the version the package will LAND on in this run (pending packageJsonUpdates first, installed as fallback), with `includePrerelease`. A package absent from both fails the gate.
+- Migration for upstream major N: gate `{"<pkg>": ">=N.0.0"}`. It fires when the same run bumps into N.
+- Migration entries gate on the destination, lower bound only (`>=N`) in the common case. Gates evaluate once, at collection time, against landing versions (above) and are never re-checked at execution; package updates are applied and installed before migrations run. An upper bound that encodes the source window ("migrate from 9": `>=9 <10`) therefore fails whenever the same run bumps past the cap, and the migration never runs (a shipped storybook bug, fixed by dropping the bound). An upper bound is right only when the migration is inapplicable at or above it even for workspaces landing there (`next >=15.0.0 <16.0.0` on the next-15 instructions entry in `packages/next/migrations.json`: a workspace landing on next 16 has no use for next-15 guidance).
+- `requires` is AND across packages. Mutually exclusive conditions need separate entries; a condition `requires` cannot express (an OR of packages) gets a code-level gate via `getDeclaredPackageVersion` + semver inside the migration function. A dependency installable under alternative names is an OR condition (umbrella vs scoped: `typescript-eslint` vs `@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin`); gating on one name silently skips workspaces that declare only the other. This shipped as a real bug in eslint, fixed by dropping the gate and checking both names inside the migration (see `hasTypescriptEslintV8` in `packages/eslint/src/migrations/update-23-1-0/remove-removed-typescript-eslint-extension-rules.ts`). In `packageJsonUpdates`, express the OR as one group per name (the paired `21.2.0-typescript-eslint` / `21.2.0-@typescript-eslint` groups in `packages/eslint/migrations.json`).
+- `packageJsonUpdates` groups gate on the SOURCE major window (`">=N.0.0 <N+1.0.0"`), one group per supported source major, ordered oldest source major first: groups are processed in key order in a single pass and each accepted group feeds the next group's `requires`, which is what lets a workspace chain major steps. Unlike migration entries, a group's `version` gate is inclusive on the installed side (`installed <= version <= target`). Groups always carry both bounds: a group translates a source range into a target ("within this range -> move to Y"), and the ladder depends on each window being closed. Never infer whether a group needs `requires` from a sibling group, gated or not: re-derive it per admission. `packages/rspack/migrations.json` `21.4.0` shipped the http-proxy-middleware v2 -> v3 bump ungated, while `packages/react/migrations.json` `21.4.0`, the identical bump from the same commit, was later gated with `{"http-proxy-middleware": ">=2.0.0 <3.0.0"}`; a group moving workspaces across a major while the old major stays supported always gates `requires` on the source-major window (see `packages/nest/migrations.json` `21.2.0-beta.2`). A rung backfilled at a later nx version cannot sit before the existing upper rungs: group keys pin to the ship version, so its cohort lands on the intermediate major and the inclusive-installed gate leaves the upper groups permanently behind them. Decide the outcome explicitly: re-offer the upper rungs at the new version, keyed after the new rung and with any landing-gated companion entries re-stamped, or hold the cohort deliberately when a companion depends on landing on the intermediate major (the next 14->15 group at `packages/next/migrations.json` `23.1.0` holds workspaces at 15 so the landing-gated 15-instructions entry fires; the onward 15->16 hop then still needs shipping at a later version or the cohort strands).
+- Nx-version-only migrations carry no `requires`, and neither do changes internal to the plugin itself (a dependency restructuring, a moved entry point): those affect every workspace taking the plugin bump. Gate on a package only when the migration's behavior depends on that package's version; never copy a sibling entry's `requires` without re-deriving it, since an unfit gate silently skips workspaces the change applies to (`packages/angular/migrations.json` `update-23-1-0-add-optional-webpack-packages` backfills newly-optional peers and ships ungated beside the `>=22.0.0`-gated entries in the same version window).
+- The rules here cover the gates a single new migration carries. Auditing a plugin's whole support window (packageJsonUpdates coverage per source major, version floors, peer alignment) is the [multi-version-compliance](../multi-version-compliance/SKILL.md) skill's job.
+
+## 3. Scaffold
+
+Home the migration in the package whose change it accompanies (`update-devkit-deep-imports` lives in `packages/devkit` for devkit's own break). Re-homing in `packages/nx` to widen reach trades that precision for guaranteed collection, runs for every workspace taking the nx-version bump rather than just those with the affected package installed, and subjects the migration to `nx repair` re-runs; do that only for workspace-level concerns, and never on an unverified claim about what `nx migrate` collects (see [runtime-contract.md](runtime-contract.md) on collection scope).
+
+Layout, always:
+
+```
+packages/<plugin>/src/migrations/update-<major>-<minor>-<patch>/<name>.ts
+packages/<plugin>/src/migrations/update-<major>-<minor>-<patch>/<name>.spec.ts    (only when there is an implementation)
+packages/<plugin>/src/migrations/update-<major>-<minor>-<patch>/<name>.md         (documentation: same basename as the .ts)
+packages/<plugin>/src/migrations/update-<major>-<minor>-<patch>/<other-name>.md   (prompt: basename must differ from any .ts)
+```
+
+The layout above is the source tree; the entry's `implementation`/`prompt`/`documentation` values use the published shape instead, dist-prefixed per the package's build layout (`./dist/src/migrations/...` for `rootDir: "."`; mapping in [templates/migrations-json.md](templates/migrations-json.md), resolution in [runtime-contract.md](runtime-contract.md)).
+
+Entries go under the top-level `generators` section (`schematics` is the legacy Angular Devkit adapter section). Entry key: kebab-case, unique within the file (`@nx/nx-plugin-checks` flags duplicates, which JSON parsers otherwise resolve by silently keeping only the last occurrence), with a slug naming the action. The full `update-<major>-<minor>-<patch>-<slug>` form is a soft convention that namespaces the slug per release, not a requirement: packages/nx uses `<ver>-<slug>` (e.g. `23-0-0-add-migrate-runs-to-git-ignore`) or plain slugs; jest and much of packages/angular use plain slugs or a reversed `<slug>-<ver>` form (`update-module-resolution-22-2-0`). Follow the file's dominant form; use the full form in a new migrations.json or where no form dominates. A version part in the key is a coarse release-level hint, not required to match the entry's `version` field (usually a prerelease, e.g. `23.0.0-beta.18`); docs group by the `version` field, not the key. The key is user-visible: it becomes the `--create-commits` commit subject, the docs heading, and the run listing line.
+
+Do not rely on `@nx/plugin:migration` generator output alone: it scaffolds empty stubs, defaults the key to the bare filename, and never writes `requires`, `.md` files, prompt entries, or per-package `packageJsonUpdates` details. Hand-author from [templates/migrations-json.md](templates/migrations-json.md).
+
+First migration in a plugin? Also check:
+
+- `package.json` has `"nx-migrations": { "migrations": "./migrations.json", "supportsOptionalMigrations": true }` (new plugins use `nx-migrations`; `ng-update` is legacy Angular CLI interop, do not add it).
+- `migrations.json` starts with `"$schema": "../../node_modules/nx/schemas/migrations-schema.json"` (new files only; do not backfill others).
+- `assets.json` copies `src/migrations/**/*.md` into dist so each .md lands next to its built implementation. For `rootDir: "src"` packages the equivalent is `{ "glob": "migrations/**/*.md", "input": "packages/<plugin>/src" }` (see `packages/maven/assets.json`). A missing glob drops the .md from the published package, which breaks `prompt`/`documentation` resolution and the docs site; the `migration-markdown-assets` conformance rule fails on any referenced .md the assets config does not produce.
+- A root `migrations.spec.ts` calling `assertValidMigrationPaths` from `@nx/devkit/internal-testing-utils` exists.
+- The plugin's eslint config applies `@nx/nx-plugin-checks` with `./migrations.json` in the rule's `files` array.
+- A brand-new `@nx/*` plugin must be added to `packages/nx/package.json` `nx-migrations.packageGroup`, or `nx migrate` will never bump it (enforced by the `nx-package-group` conformance rule).
+
+## 4. Implement
+
+### Common canon (every migration)
+
+- `export default async function update(tree: Tree)` and nothing else. Migrations take no options; the runner calls them with `(tree, {})`.
+- Import helpers from `@nx/devkit` and, for the semi-private ones (`forEachExecutorOptions`, target-default helpers), from `@nx/devkit/internal`. Exception: migrations inside `packages/nx` itself use relative imports and `formatChangedFilesWithPrettierIfAvailable`.
+- Tree APIs only, never `fs`. All existence/content checks via `tree.exists` / `tree.read` / `readJson`.
+- Build tree paths with `joinPathFragments` or `node:path`'s `posix` helpers, matching what the Tree returns (always slash-separated). Plain `join`/`dirname` emit backslashes on Windows; the Tree normalizes them on API calls, but any string-level use of such a path (comparison with a tree-provided path, a visited-set key, log output) silently mismatches.
+- End with `await formatFiles(tree)` (skip only when the migration touches no JS/TS/JSON surface).
+- User-facing warnings via devkit `logger.warn`, listing the affected files, reserved for cases the user must finish manually. Never `console.*`. Agentic runs capture the generator's logger output and feed it to the validating agent (`<generator_output>`), so a good warning names the file and the exact remainder.
+- Freeze version strings as local consts in the migration file, set to the value the plugin's generators install at authoring time. Never import them from the plugin's `utils/versions`: those constants float with every release, and users run the compiled migration shipped with whichever version they migrate to, so an imported constant installs that release's value instead of the one this migration intended (see the inline-with-rationale const in `packages/angular/src/migrations/update-23-1-0/add-istanbul-instrumenter.ts`). Exception: `nxVersion` when adding a sibling `@nx/*` package, which must float to match the version the workspace lands on. Never inline version literals at call sites, and do not derive the version from what the workspace already has installed unless matching the installed version is the point. An export added to `utils/versions` for a migration's sake also leaks into generator surfaces (`@nx/angular`'s `backward-compatible-versions.ts` type-requires an entry for every export, dead weight for a migration-only version).
+- Fail open, never throw: a throwing migration aborts the user's whole `nx migrate --run-migrations` run with no resume. Distinguish the two skip reasons: a file the migration does not recognize is a normal no-match, skip it silently; a file it cannot parse is unfinished work, skip it and record the path in the returned `agentContext` (mirror it in `nextSteps` when the user must finish by hand). The source-transform prefilter sharpens the stakes: a file only reaches the parser when it contains the trigger token, so a swallowed parse error hides a file that needed migrating.
+- Idempotent by construction: the rewrite consumes its own trigger, or the write is gated on `updated !== original`, or there is an explicit already-migrated guard. `nx repair` re-runs nx-core migrations unconditionally (minus `x-repair-skip`), and users re-run failed sessions.
+- Never return a `GeneratorCallback` or install task; the return value contract is `void | string[] | { nextSteps, agentContext }` and callbacks are silently discarded. The runner handles installs by diffing package.json.
+- A migration that skips a shape it cannot handle or leaves residual work returns `{ nextSteps, agentContext }`; this is not hybrid-only. Agentic runs hand `agentContext` to the agent that validates the generator's output and can finish minor in-scope remainders; `nextSteps` never reaches the agent, and `agentContext` is dropped in plain human runs (an outer agent driving `nx migrate` still receives it on stdout; see [runtime-contract.md](runtime-contract.md)). Put everything an agent needs to finish or verify the work (skipped files, why, the exact remaining edit) in `agentContext`, and mirror the human-actionable part in `nextSteps`.
+
+### Source transforms
+
+Exemplars: `packages/vite/src/migrations/update-23-0-0/migrate-to-vitest-4.ts` (copy its discovery and splicing, not its silent parse-failure skips; the common canon above requires reporting those in `agentContext`), `packages/angular/src/migrations/update-21-2-0/replace-provide-server-routing.ts`.
+
+- Discovery, two shapes. File sets that derive from project or executor configuration: scope by the project graph (`forEachExecutorOptions`, dependency filtering), then visit each project root. User-owned config files matched by name (`tsconfig*.json`, tool rc files): scan the whole tree with `visitNotIgnoredFiles` from the root instead; name-matched files exist outside target references (a `tsconfig.editor.json` nothing points at), and the scan works even where project-graph construction fails. Either way, prefilter before parsing: check the filename or extension, then bail unless the content `.includes()` the trigger token.
+- A migration generator's input is whatever users hand-write, not the shape our tooling emits. Enumerate the authoring shapes the edited construct can take (the generated form, the same options inlined by hand, wrapped/spread/aliased forms) and handle or negative-test each; classify files by their resolved import bindings, not by whole-content substring matches, which both over- and under-match (see `packages/cypress/src/migrations/update-23-1-0/disable-webpack-ct-just-in-time-compile.ts`: preset call and hand-written inline `devServer.framework`, binding-resolved).
+- Parse with tsquery (`ast` + `query`) for selector-style lookups or the raw TypeScript API for structural checks. Use the AST only to LOCATE positions, then splice replacement text into the original content: devkit `applyChangesToString` (sorts and offsets the edits internally; see `packages/angular/src/migrations/update-23-0-0/rewrite-internal-subpath-imports.ts`) or a local splice helper like the exemplars above use. Never reprint a whole file through `ts.createPrinter`; it destroys the user's formatting.
+- Property keys in user configs come single-quoted, double-quoted, or backtick-quoted: match `ts.isStringLiteral(key) || ts.isNoSubstitutionTemplateLiteral(key)` and preserve the original quotes when splicing a rename (see `packages/eslint/src/migrations/update-23-1-0/remove-removed-typescript-eslint-extension-rules.ts`).
+- Load TypeScript lazily: `import type * as ts from 'typescript'` at the top plus `ensureTypescript()` (from `@nx/js/internal`) or `ensurePackage<typeof import('typescript')>('typescript', '*')` at first use. No static value import.
+- For `.js` config files parse with `ts.createSourceFile(..., ScriptKind.JS)`.
+
+### Config edits
+
+- Project targets: `getProjects(tree)`, mutate, `updateProjectConfiguration` guarded by a changed flag. Never raw `updateJson` on `project.json`: it silently skips package.json-based projects.
+- `getProjects` does not merge `targetDefaults` or inferred targets. A migration about an executor's options must also scan `nx.json` `targetDefaults` and, when the tool is also served by an inferred plugin, the plugin registration.
+- nx.json: `readNxJson(tree)` / `updateNxJson(tree, nxJson)`, write only when changed. `targetDefaults` keys may be target names or executors and values may be objects or arrays; guard with `Array.isArray` and match array entries on both `entry.target` and `entry.executor` (plain `Object.entries` over the array appears to work by index keys while silently skipping `target`-keyed entries). Generator defaults come in two shapes (flat `"@nx/x:gen"` keys and nested `"@nx/x": { gen: {} }`); handle both.
+- Plugin registrations are `string | ExpandedPluginConfiguration`; match with `typeof p === 'string' ? p === name : p.plugin === name`, preserve array order and per-entry include/exclude scopes, and gate registration on actual usage (glob the tool's config files first).
+- Dual-world rule: a migration touching a tool's configuration handles executor-based targets, inferred-plugin registrations, and `targetDefaults` independently in one pass (exemplar: `packages/vite/src/migrations/update-23-0-0/ensure-vitest-package-migration.ts`; copy its scan, not its `GeneratorCallback` return type, which the canon above forbids).
+- Before writing any detection or rewrite scan, enumerate the full surface that expresses the feature and cover or negative-test each part: the direct executors; the `@nx/*` wrapper executors that delegate to them (check the plugin's `executors.json`; a ported builder migration that stops at the upstream builder ids misses the Nx wrappers the port exists for); targets that reach the tool only through a referenced target (`dev-server`-style `buildTarget`/`browserTarget`, resolved through `targetDefaults` because raw project config does not merge them); and config-file presence where a project uses the tool with no matching executor (a `module-federation.config.*` remote whose host lives in another workspace). Exemplars: `packages/angular/src/migrations/update-23-1-0/add-optional-webpack-packages.ts` (indirection + config files; copy the scan, not its `utils/versions` import), `packages/angular/src/migrations/update-23-1-0/add-istanbul-instrumenter.ts` (wrapper executors).
+- User-owned jsonc files (`tsconfig*.json` and other configs that may carry comments): `readJson`/`updateJson` strips comments and reformats the whole file. Locate and edit nodes with `jsonc-parser` (`modify` + `applyEdits`) so only the targeted span changes (exemplar: `packages/angular/src/migrations/update-23-1-0/remove-conflicting-extended-diagnostics.ts`). A migration that newly uses such a package must add it to the plugin's `package.json` dependencies (and to `allowedNonPeerDependencies` in `ng-package.json` for ng-packaged plugins).
+- When the trigger is a resolved (inherited) setting, edit only the file that locally declares the offending block. Never mutate a shared or ancestor config based on one consumer's resolution: sibling projects extending the same base may resolve differently. The exemplar above removes `extendedDiagnostics` only where declared and leaves shared bases alone.
+- When re-implementing a host tool's config resolution (tsconfig `extends` chains, ESLint config cascades), handle every input form the real resolver accepts, not just the common one: for `extends`, string and array forms (later entries win), package-specifier bases, and circular references. A resolver that only handles the string form silently mis-resolves the rest.
+- Mirroring another plugin's canonical set (config file names, rule names, package lists) when the dependency direction forbids importing it: copy the owning plugin's list verbatim and cite the source in a comment; never reconstruct it from memory, which drops the rare members (see `packages/remix/src/migrations/update-23-1-0/remove-remix-eslint-config.ts`, a frozen copy of `@nx/eslint`'s config-file list with the source named in its comment).
+- Ignore files: `addEntryToGitIgnore` (`packages/nx/src/utils/ignore.ts`, parses with the `ignore` package instead of substring matching); keep the `if (tree.exists('lerna.json') && !tree.exists('nx.json')) return` guard used by this family.
+- Calling an Nx generator (scaffolding, not the migration itself) from a migration is sanctioned only for same-package generators via relative import, passing `keepExistingVersions: true` and `skipFormat: true` when the generator's schema declares them, so `packageJsonUpdates` keeps ownership of version bumps.
+- A migration that materializes a removed option's effect writes it where the tool actually reads it: the tool's own config file, or a schema-declared executor option. Never an undeclared key in target options: most first-party executor schemas omit `additionalProperties`, so validation never rejects the key, and some executors read options absent from their schema and forward them into the tool's invocation in a way that overwrites rather than merges its config value (jest's `getExtraArgs` pushes each onto `process.argv`), so the written value and the tool's real config silently drift apart.
+
+### Dependency updates
+
+Declarative `packageJsonUpdates` first; a .ts implementation only for conditional logic. In groups: explicit `"alwaysAddToPackageJson": false` on bump-only packages; `requires` for gating; do not use `x-prompt` (deprecated) or `ifPackageInstalled` (a live runtime gate no first-party entry uses; gate with `requires`). To bump a package that ships its own migrations without triggering them (the `@angular/cli` pattern), set `ignorePackageGroup: true` and `ignoreMigrations: true` on that package's update.
+
+When the bump targets a package this repo itself depends on (root `package.json` or a `pnpm-workspace.yaml` catalog entry), update the repo's own pin in the same change and run the install so the lockfile follows: the migration only fixes user workspaces.
+
+A version-constant change is also a generator-output change: generator specs pin the value being written (`packages/next/src/generators/application/application.spec.ts` asserts the exact `eslint-config-next` range). Grep the old version string across the plugin's spec and snapshot files and run the owning package's suite in the same change.
+
+### Prompt-only and hybrid
+
+- The prompt .md is colocated in the `update-<ver>/` directory. Its filename must differ from any implementation basename: the `documentation` .md owns that name, and a prompt is the wrong genre for the documentation slot (the eslint flat-config runbook shipped as public docs exactly this way, under the docs site's former basename-guess rendering). Pattern to copy: jest's `set-ts-jest-isolated-modules` pairs `documentation: set-ts-jest-isolated-modules.md` with `prompt: verify-typecheck.md`.
+- Naming: `ai-instructions-for-<framework>-<major>.md` for whole-framework upgrade runbooks; task-named files (`migrate-ban-types-rule.md`) for scoped tasks.
+- Write the runbook per [templates/prompt-runbook.md](templates/prompt-runbook.md). Every scoped-task prompt opens with a no-op guard: confirm the preconditions, otherwise change nothing and stop (exemplar: `packages/eslint/src/migrations/update-23-1-0/migrate-ban-types-rule.md`).
+- A prompt migrating a rule or option must also spell out the bare form (the rule enabled with no options): default-configuration users are the most common case and the easiest to leave unhandled.
+- Do not put must-happen changes in a prompt: prompt-only migrations execute only under the agentic flow, and in plain runs they surface as next steps.
+- Hybrid = one entry with both `implementation` and `prompt`. The .ts does only mechanically safe edits, accumulates human-readable descriptions of every shape it could not handle, and returns `{ nextSteps, agentContext }` per the common-canon channel split above. The .md tells the agent to verify (not redo) the pre-pass output and treat each advisory-context item as pending work. Exemplar: eslint `convert-to-flat-config` (copy its return contract, not its shared implementation/prompt basename, which predates the naming rule above).
+- Re-delivering an existing prompt at a later version: add a new entry pointing at the same .md; the runner dedupes by path.
+
+## 5. Test and validate
+
+Spec canon (skeleton in [templates/spec-skeleton.md](templates/spec-skeleton.md)); a prompt-only entry gets no spec file, since there is no implementation to run and no harness exercises prompt .md content (its checks are the root `migrations.spec.ts` path validation, the conformance rules, and the real-repo run below):
+
+- `createTreeWithEmptyWorkspace()` + `tree.write` / `addProjectConfiguration` to arrange; run the imported default export; assert with explicit reads (`readJson`, `tree.read(..., 'utf-8')`) using `toBe`/`toEqual`/`toContain` or `toMatchInlineSnapshot`. Never `toMatchSnapshot` (external snapshot files); no migration spec uses it.
+- Mandatory negative test: capture the content, run the migration on a workspace it should not touch, assert the content is unchanged.
+- Mandatory idempotency test when the trigger can survive: run the migration twice, assert the second run changes nothing.
+- Mandatory malformed-input test when the migration parses files: feed an unparseable file and assert the migration skips it without throwing and reports the skipped path in the returned `agentContext`.
+- Mandatory multi-edit test when the migration can rewrite several spots in one file: one fixture with all rewrite shapes in the same block, asserting adjacent edits do not corrupt each other's offsets.
+- Mandatory precedence test when the migration resolves an inherited setting: one fixture where a local declaration differs from the inherited value, asserting the nearest declaration wins.
+- Mandatory list-sanity test when the migration freezes a copy of another module's canonical set: per-member cases (the `symbol set sanity` block in `packages/devkit/src/migrations/update-23-0-0/update-deep-imports.spec.ts`; copy the spec pattern, not the migration's own `utils/versions` import) prove listed members are handled, not that the list is complete. Add a drift check: read the owning module's source with `fs.readFileSync` at a path relative to the spec file (via `__dirname`, not `process.cwd()`; not a live import; the frozen copy exists to survive that module changing later, same-package or not), extract export names with tsquery over `ExportDeclaration`/`ExportSpecifier` rather than a regex (a multi-line `export { a, b } from '...'` block is exactly what a naive scan misses), and diff them against the frozen list.
+- Mandatory reproduced-behavior test when the migration statically replicates behavior the same change deletes from a runtime path (a merge, a default, a path expansion): diff the replacement against the deleted code case by case and cover each case it exercised; a helper reused from another context usually differs at the edges (resolution roots, `rootDir` handling, option precedence). Treat an incidental gap in the deleted code (a mode it silently skipped) as a decision to make: keep it out of the replacement only with a stated reason, a code comment or a returned next-step, not silently by omission.
+- Any migration returning `{ nextSteps, agentContext }` (hybrid or not): `const result = await migration(tree)` and assert on both channels.
+
+Run the repo validators; they must pass:
+
+- `npx nx run-many -t test,lint -p <plugin>`: the root `migrations.spec.ts` (`assertValidMigrationPaths`) resolves every entry's implementation/prompt/documentation path against the source tree and flags orphaned entry-point .ts files and orphaned .md files; lint runs `@nx/nx-plugin-checks`, which validates manifest shape and flags duplicate keys.
+- `npx nx build workspace-plugin && pnpm nx-cloud conformance:check`: the `migration-markdown-assets` rule checks the published shape (each referenced .md is actually produced into the built output, each implementation path maps back through the build's `rootDir`/`outDir` to a real source file); `migration-groups` keeps `packageJsonUpdates` package families complete within a group (all `@typescript-eslint/*` bumped together); `nx-package-group` checks packageGroup membership for new plugins.
+
+What no validator checks: whether a path names the RIGHT file (a wrong-but-existing implementation path passes everything and runs at run time; this shipped as a real bug in `packages/nx`), version and train semantics, `requires` fit, spec coverage, and .md claim accuracy. The pre-PR checklist below covers exactly that judgment residue.
+
+Before release, validate against a real repository:
+
+- Local registry: `pnpm local-registry` in one shell; in another, `npm adduser --registry http://localhost:4873` (real credentials are not required, e.g. test/test/test@test.io; publishing just needs a login), then `pnpm nx-release <next-prerelease> --local` to build and publish; then in the target repo run `NX_SKIP_PROVENANCE_CHECK=true npx nx migrate <version>` (locally published packages have no provenance attestations; without the variable migrate fails).
+- Registry-free alternative: build and install the plugin tarball in the target repo, write a migrations file `{ "migrations": [{ "package", "name", "version" }] }`, and run `npx nx migrate --run-migrations=<file>`. No version-window or provenance checks on this path.
+
+## 6. Docs and description
+
+- `description` feeds the agentic prompt and the public docs page. State the concrete action ("Removes the deprecated X option from Y executor options"). For prompt migrations, also state why it is AI-driven ("...whose options do not map 1:1, so it is driven by an AI prompt rather than a deterministic generator").
+- Every new entry gets a colocated `documentation` .md, set on the entry's `documentation` key, per [templates/documentation-md.md](templates/documentation-md.md): before/after samples for generator-based migrations, what-the-upgrade-involves for prompt migrations (`upgrade-to-<framework>-<major>.md`); h4/h5 headings only, sentence case, and prose per `astro-docs/STYLE_GUIDE.md` (the content renders on nx.dev; vale does not lint these files today, so self-check). The key feeds both consumers: the agentic flow hands the agent its path, and the docs site renders its content on the plugin's migrations page (nothing is inferred from the implementation's basename). A prompt .md never doubles as documentation: it is agent-voiced, wrong audience (see `packages/react/migrations.json` `update-23-1-0-create-ai-instructions-for-react-19`, which pairs both).
+- Before finishing, re-read every claim in the .md files against the implementation as written: version selection, trigger conditions, file coverage, and option lists must describe what the code actually does, not an earlier draft's design. Doc text written before a design change is the easiest artifact to leave stale. Scope claims drift most: a "handles X" sentence written while the code handles one shape of X. Back every handles/covers claim with the spec case that exercises it; if none exists, narrow the claim or add the test.
+- Verify tool-behavior claims (deprecation timelines, option semantics, error codes) against the tool's source or changelog in `node_modules` before putting them in a .md. These files ship to users, and a wrong version claim reads as authoritative long after review. Compatibility claims (which versions of X work with Y) come from the published package's machine-readable metadata (`peerDependencies`, `engines`), never from upstream prose; guides state the recommended pairing, the metadata states the supported range (Next 15's guide reads as requiring React 19 while `next@15` peers `react: ^18.2.0 || ^19.0.0`).
+
+## 7. Pre-PR checklist
+
+The section-5 validators gate the mechanical layer (paths resolve, no orphans, no duplicate keys, published shape, packageGroup). This list is the judgment residue no validator covers:
+
+- [ ] Validators green: `npx nx run-many -t test,lint -p <plugin>` and the conformance check (section 5).
+- [ ] Entry key slug-bearing, following the file's dominant key form (full `update-<ver>-<slug>` in a new file); any version part in the key is a release-level hint only, not required to match the `version` field (often a prerelease).
+- [ ] `implementation` points at THIS migration's file: open the file and confirm. Validators check that referenced paths exist, never that they name the right migration.
+- [ ] `implementation` used, not `factory`; no `cli`, no `schema` (legacy keys the validators accept).
+- [ ] Version is the exact next prerelease of the target train the developer chose (asked once when the task did not state it); `requires` reviewed against landing versions (no upper bound that encodes the source window; one is valid only when the migration is inapplicable at or above it, per section 2), against alternative package names (umbrella vs scoped: no single-name gate), and for fit (gate present only when the migration's behavior depends on that package's version); a fix to an already-shipped migration re-stamps the version to that train's next prerelease so workspaces that ran the broken version re-run it.
+- [ ] Spec covers every applicable mandatory case from section 5 (negative always; idempotency, malformed-input, multi-edit, precedence, list-sanity, reproduced-behavior when their triggers apply); specs assert the return object when the migration returns one; prompt-only entries have no spec; `formatFiles` called.
+- [ ] Detection covers the full expression surface (section 4): `@nx/*` wrapper executors, referenced-target indirection, config-file signals, both `targetDefaults` shapes.
+- [ ] Version-constant changes: old value grepped out of every spec/snapshot; owning package's suite run. No `utils/versions` imports in migration files (`nxVersion` for sibling `@nx/*` adds excepted).
+- [ ] .md files colocated; the prompt filename differs from the implementation basename; every new entry sets `documentation`.
+- [ ] .md claims (version selection, triggers, coverage) re-checked against the final implementation; each coverage claim backed by a spec case.
+- [ ] First migration in a plugin: the section-3 wiring list done (`nx-migrations` in package.json, `$schema`, `assets.json` .md glob, root `migrations.spec.ts`, `@nx/nx-plugin-checks` on migrations.json, `packageGroup` for a brand-new plugin).
+- [ ] PR description carries the `## Migration coverage` mapping.
+- [ ] Real-repo validation done or explicitly handed off.

+
+Two registries: patterns that exist only in git history (you will meet them when reading old migrations for reference, or in third-party plugins) and patterns still present in live code that must not be copied.

+# migrations.json runtime contract
+
+How `nx migrate` actually consumes each key. Source of truth: `packages/nx/src/command-line/migrate/migrate.ts` (the `Migrator` class and `runMigrations`), `packages/nx/src/command-line/migrate/prompt-files.ts`, and the types in `packages/nx/src/config/misc-interfaces.ts` (`MigrationsJsonEntry`, `MigrationReturnObject`, `PackageJsonUpdates`). Verify against those files when in doubt; line references rot, symbol names do not.
+
+## Migration entries (`generators` section)
+
+New entries always go under `generators`. Entries under `schematics` run through the Angular Devkit adapter: at run time the installed package's migrations.json is re-read unmerged and the section holding the entry selects the runner. (The fetch phase folds both sections into one map, but that only feeds gating, not runner selection.)

+| `implementation` / `factory` | Equivalent aliases; `implementation` wins when both are set and is the one to author. Resolved with `require.resolve` relative to the installed package's migrations.json directory, so the path must match the PUBLISHED layout (dist-prefixed). `#symbol` selects a named export, otherwise the default export. Called as `await fn(tree, {})`. Beware: nothing ties the path to the entry. A wrong-but-existing path resolves and RUNS at run time (`getImplementationPath` just calls `require.resolve`), passes `assertValidMigrationPaths` (it requires the source file directly), and passes `@nx/nx-plugin-checks` (whose `resolveImplementation` even guesses source layouts).               |
+| `requires`                   | Map of package name to semver range, evaluated with `includePrerelease: true` against the version the package will land on in THIS run (pending packageJsonUpdates first, installed version as fallback). Package absent from both = gate fails. An entry skipped this way does not re-run in the default flow; the catch-up path is `--from` + `--exclude-applied-migrations`. Evaluated once at collection and never re-checked at execution: the generated migrations file carries the full entry, but the run path never re-evaluates `requires`.                                                                                                                                                 |
+| `prompt`                     | Relative path to a colocated .md, validated to stay inside the migrations directory. At generate time the content is extracted to `tools/ai-migrations/<package>/<targetVersion>/<basename>.md` and the field is rewritten to that workspace path. At run time, prompt-only entries execute only under the agentic flow (an agent CLI is spawned and handed the extracted workspace path in `<instructions_file>`, never inlined content); otherwise they are surfaced as next steps. Hybrid entries (implementation + prompt) always run their generator half. Prompts are deduped by path across entries. At least one of `implementation`/`factory`/`prompt` is required; validated at fetch time. |
+| `documentation`              | Relative path to a colocated .md, resolved like `implementation`. At migrate time, consumed only during agentic runs and handed to the agent as a path to read (`<migration_documentation>`, marked reference-not-instructions); the content is never inlined into the prompt. A stale path logs a warning and is skipped; plain runs never read it. The docs site renders the same key's .md on the plugin's migrations page; nothing is inferred from the implementation's basename.                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
+
+Do not author: `cli` (dead since the runner-by-section change; schema marks it "No longer used"), `schema` (documented in the JSON schema but never read by the runtime), `x-repair-skip` unless the migration is an nx-core migration that must not re-run under `nx repair` (repair re-runs ALL nx-core migrations regardless of version).
+
+Collection scope: installed versions resolve by node resolution from the workspace root (`createInstalledPackageVersionsResolver` -> `readModulePackageJson`), not from package.json entries. A package-group member that is node-resolvable from the root (for example a hoisted transitive dependency) still has its migrations collected and gated; one that does not resolve is skipped even when workspace code imports it (pnpm-style isolated layouts keep transitive packages on disk but not root-resolvable).
+
+## Return values
+
+`Migration = (tree) => void | string[] | MigrationReturnObject | Promise<...>`.
+
+- `string[]` is shorthand for `nextSteps`.
+- `nextSteps`: shown in the end-of-run summary and failure recaps; persisted by Nx Console; never included in agent prompts. The channel for anything a human must do.
+- `agentContext`: injected into the agent prompt as `<advisory_context>` during agentic runs, including the validation step after generator-only migrations (execution model below); when `nx migrate` itself runs inside an outer agent it is instead printed to stdout in `<agent_context>` blocks for that agent. Dropped only in plain human runs, so human-relevant content must be duplicated into `nextSteps`.
+- Anything else (including a `GeneratorCallback`) is silently discarded. The runner installs by diffing package.json: once after the whole run in the default flow, per migration under `--create-commits` and agentic runs. Never return install tasks and never call `installPackagesTask`.
+
+## Execution model
+
+- Tree changes flush to disk only after the migration function returns. A child process spawned inside a migration sees pre-migration disk state.
+- The first throwing migration aborts the whole `--run-migrations` run; there is no resume state. Fail open.
+- `nx repair` re-runs every nx-core migration regardless of version (minus `x-repair-skip`), so nx-core migrations must be idempotent.
+- Agentic runs validate generator output: unless the user passes `--no-validate`, a generator-only migration that produced changes gets an agent validation step. The agent receives the entry description, the `documentation` path, the captured generator output (devkit logger and console, `<generator_output>`), the changed files, and any returned `agentContext`; it verifies the result and may apply minor in-scope fixes. A failed validation leaves the changes uncommitted.
+- Entries in the `schematics` section run through the Angular Devkit adapter, which discards their return value entirely: no `nextSteps`, no `agentContext`.
+
+## packageJsonUpdates
+
+Shape: `{ "<key>": { version, packages, requires?, incompatibleWith?, "x-prompt"? } }` with per-package `{ version, alwaysAddToPackageJson?, addToPackageJson?, ifPackageInstalled?, ignorePackageGroup?, ignoreMigrations? }`.
+
+- A group applies when `installed <= group.version <= target` (inclusive lower bound, unlike migration entries).
+- Only packages already in dependencies/devDependencies are touched unless `addToPackageJson`/`alwaysAddToPackageJson` is set (`true` = dependencies, string = that section; `alwaysAddToPackageJson` wins). Across groups the highest version per package wins; downgrades are filtered at write time.
+- Groups are processed in key order in a single pass, and each accepted group writes into the pending update set that the next group's `requires` is evaluated against. Order ladder groups oldest source major first so multi-major chains work.
+- `incompatibleWith` inverts `requires`: the group is skipped when any listed package's landing version satisfies the range.
+- `ifPackageInstalled` gates a single package's update on another package being installed; no first-party group uses it (gate with `requires` instead).
+- `x-prompt` fires only under `--interactive` outside CI and is deprecated for removal in Nx v24; do not add it.
+- `ignorePackageGroup: true` + `ignoreMigrations: true` on a per-package update bumps that package without pulling in its own package group or migrations (used for `@angular/cli`).
+- `<version>--PackageGroup` keys are synthesized at runtime from the plugin's `packageGroup`; never author one.
+- The group key is user-visible (docs anchor in the interactive prompt footer): `X.Y.Z` or `X.Y.Z-<topic>` for separately gated third-party bumps.
+
+## package.json migrate config
+
+`readNxMigrateConfig` reads, in increasing precedence: `ng-update`, `nx-migrations`, bare top-level fields. First-party plugins declare `"nx-migrations": { "migrations": "./migrations.json", "supportsOptionalMigrations": true }`; `ng-update` survives only for Angular CLI interop (`ng update` reads it). `packageGroup` membership (authored under `nx-migrations` in `packages/nx/package.json` and under `ng-update` in `packages/workspace/package.json`) determines both the synthetic group bump and the required side of the `--include` required/optional partition; there is no per-entry optionality marker.

+# documentation .md template
+
+For the colocated doc of a migration entry. Read by humans on nx.dev and handed to agents as reference material; both consumers resolve it from the entry's `documentation` key. Exemplar: `packages/nx/src/migrations/update-21-0-0/remove-legacy-cache.md`.
+
+Headings start at h4: the docs site nests the content under an h3 entry heading, so h1-h3 would break the page hierarchy.
+
+````markdown
+#### <What the migration does, as a short title>
+
+One or two paragraphs: what changes, why (the upstream or Nx change that forced
+it), and any user-visible effect after migrating.
+
+#### Sample code changes
+
+Optional one-line setup for the example.
+
+##### Before
+
+```ts title="apps/app1/vite.config.ts"
+<before>
+```
+
+##### After
+
+```ts title="apps/app1/vite.config.ts"
+<after>
+```
+````
+
+Rules:
+
+- Use the `title="<file path>"` attribute on fenced blocks so readers see where the change lands.
+- Multiple distinct changes get multiple Before/After pairs, each under its own h5 or with a one-line lead-in.
+- The Sample code changes section is for changes with a code shape; omit it when there is none (a removed cache flag, a moved directory).
+- These files render on nx.dev, so the docs style rules apply: `astro-docs/STYLE_GUIDE.md`, sentence-case headings per the site's `Nx.Headings` vale rule. Vale's scope does not reach these files today (it lints only `astro-docs/src/content`), so self-check; many shipped migration docs predate this and use title case.
+- Optional trailing `#### Reference` section with links to the upstream changelog or guide.
+- Name the file after the implementation (`<name>.md` next to `<name>.ts`); the shared name is pairing convention, and the docs site and agentic runs both resolve the file from the entry's `documentation` key.
+- Prompt migrations use the what-the-upgrade-involves genre instead: prose on what the upgrade involves and what is automated, named `upgrade-to-<framework>-<major>.md` (exemplar: `packages/react/src/migrations/update-23-1-0/upgrade-to-react-19.md`). It renders on the docs page and reaches agents through the `documentation` key like any other entry.

+# migrations.json entry templates
+
+The JSON blocks are examples: entry keys, version values, and package names are illustrative; the key sets and path shapes are the contract. Migration entries go under the file's top-level `generators` section, packageJsonUpdates groups under `packageJsonUpdates` (full file shape at the bottom). Version values follow the target-train rule from SKILL.md section 2. Paths are dist-prefixed because they resolve against the installed package. The examples below use `./dist/src/migrations/...`, the shape for packages whose `tsconfig.lib.json` has `rootDir: "."` (the dominant shape); packages that set `rootDir: "src"` publish without the `src` segment (`./dist/migrations/...`, e.g. dotnet and maven). Copy the shape from a sibling entry, or for a package's first entry derive it from `rootDir`. The `migration-markdown-assets` conformance rule maps each published path back through the build's `rootDir`/`outDir` and fails on a wrong shape (`./dist/src/...` in a `rootDir: "src"` package); a package whose tsconfig declares no `rootDir`/`outDir` pair is left unchecked there, so confirm its paths against the built `dist/` by hand.

+
+Add `requires` when the migration only applies past an upstream major:

+```json
+"requires": { "bar": ">=4.0.0" }

+
+## Prompt-only

+  "requires": { "bar": ">=4.0.0" },

+  "prompt": "./dist/src/migrations/update-23-2-0/migrate-bar-config-format.md",
+  "documentation": "./dist/src/migrations/update-23-2-0/upgrade-to-bar-v4.md"
+}
+```
+
+## Hybrid (deterministic pre-pass plus AI half)
+
+One entry, both keys. The prompt filename must differ from the implementation basename (the `documentation` .md owns that name; SKILL.md section 4).
+
+```json
+"update-23-2-0-convert-bar-config": {
+  "version": "23.2.0-beta.3",
+  "requires": { "bar": ">=4.0.0" },

+
+```json

+  "packages": {
+    "bar": { "version": "^4.1.0", "alwaysAddToPackageJson": false }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`alwaysAddToPackageJson: false` bumps the package only where it is already installed, the norm for managed deps; `true` (or `"dependencies"`/`"devDependencies"`) also adds it when missing.
+
+Cross-major bump gated on the source major (one group per supported source major, ordered oldest first):

+is out of scope.
+
+## Pre-Migration Checklist
+
+Preconditions to confirm before changing anything. For scoped tasks this is a hard
+no-op guard: "Confirm both conditions before changing anything. If either fails,
+make no changes and stop."
+
+1. <condition, with the exact command or file check to run>
+2. <condition>

+**Before:**

+<before>
+```
+
+**After:**
+
+```ts
+<after>
+```
+
+## Step 2: <action>
+
+...
+
+## Post-Migration Validation
+
+Concrete commands and the loop to run them until green:
+
+1. `npx nx run-many -t build,test,lint -p <affected projects>`
+2. Fix failures caused by this migration and re-run until green.
+3. <manual checks that commands cannot cover>
+
+## Nx-Specific Notes
+
+Anything about executors, inferred targets, or workspace layout the upstream guide
+does not cover.
+````
+
+Rules:
+
+- Shipped exemplars predate this template and vary their heading names; match the elements (the guard, stepwise before/after, the validation loop, explicit scope), not the exact headings.
+- Hybrid prompts additionally instruct the agent to verify (not redo) the deterministic pre-pass: review the changed files, and treat every advisory-context item as pending work.
+- When upstream publishes an npx-runnable codemod, instruct the agent to run it and verify the result rather than reimplementing the transform.
+- Scope statements are load-bearing: state explicitly what the agent must not touch.
+- The filename must differ from any implementation basename in the same directory (the `documentation` .md owns that name; SKILL.md section 4).

+description: The single skill for reproducing an nx issue. Given a GitHub issue number (human entry) OR explicit repro parameters (agent entry), it runs the reproduction ENTIRELY inside an isolated Docker sandbox — gVisor on Linux, the Docker VM on macOS — so the untrusted repro's install scripts and commands never execute on the host, then reports whether it reproduces. Called by humans via "/reproduce-issue #N", "reproduce this bug", "does this reproduce", and by the reproduce-verifier agent (Level 2). Nothing lands on the host.
+allowed-tools: Read, Grep, Glob, Bash(uname *), Bash(gh issue view *), Bash(gh issue list *), Bash(docker run *), Bash(docker cp *), Bash(docker rm *), Bash(docker info *), Bash(docker pull *)
+---
+
+# Reproduce an issue (sandboxed)
+
+Reproduce an nx bug **entirely inside an isolated container** and report the outcome. The untrusted repro — its `install` (arbitrary postinstall scripts) and its repro command — runs only in the sandbox, never on the host. `--rm` destroys everything on exit; nothing touches the host filesystem.
+
+This is the one reproduction engine in the repo. It has two front doors:
+
+## Entry A — a GitHub issue (human: `/reproduce-issue <N>`)
+
+1. Fetch the issue:
+   ```bash
+   gh issue view <N> --repo nrwl/nx --json number,title,body,comments,labels
+   ```
+2. Extract from the body: the **repro repo URL** (or `create-nx-workspace` steps), the **exact command(s)** that show the bug, the **reported vs expected** behavior, and the **Nx Report** (nx version + Node version).
+3. Fill the parameters below and run the sandbox (default `nx-version` = whatever the issue reports / the repo pins; default registry = public npm).
+
+## Entry B — explicit parameters (agent: reproduce-verifier Level 2)
+
+The caller passes these directly:
+
+- **`repro`** — `repo:<git-url>` (clone a public repo) OR `create:"<create-nx-workspace args>"`.
+- **`nx-version:<version>`** — install this **published** nx and rewrite the repro's `nx` / `@nx/*` / `@nrwl/*` deps to it. For reproducing against a released version.
+- **`nx-build:<git-ref>`** (PR-verification mode) — instead of a published version, **build nx from this `nrwl/nx` commit inside the sandbox** and reproduce against it. Uses the `nx-review-sandbox` image; the skill derives the version and serves it from a `localhost` verdaccio in the same container. Mutually exclusive with `nx-version`.
+- **`nx-registry:<url>`** (optional, `nx-version` mode only) — registry to install from. Default public npm.
+- **`command:"<repro-cmd>"`** — the command whose output/exit code decides the verdict.
+- **`node-image:<img>`** (optional) — base image matching the issue's Node (default `node:22`; public images are multi-arch → native on Apple Silicon).
+- **`expect:<reported symptom>`** (optional), **`setup:"<files/steps>"`** (optional) — files to create in the workspace first.
+
+## Platform (where the sandbox boundary comes from)
+
+Run `uname -s` once:
+
+- **Linux** → add `--runtime=runsc` to `docker run` (gVisor is the sandbox).
+- **macOS (`Darwin`)** → **omit `--runtime=runsc`** (the Docker VM is the sandbox). Verify `docker info` works; if not, tell the user to `colima start` (or start Docker Desktop / OrbStack).
+
+The command below shows the Linux form — on macOS drop `--runtime=runsc`, keep the rest.
+
+## Preflight — check the environment, fail with a FIX (not a mystery)
+
+Before running anything, verify prerequisites in order and **stop at the first miss, printing the one-line fix**. Most misses point at the `setup-review-sandbox` skill, which installs/builds everything.
+
+1. **Docker is up:**
+
+   ```bash
+   docker info >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo up || echo MISSING
+   ```
+
+   Miss → Linux: `sudo systemctl start docker`. macOS: `colima start` (or open Docker Desktop). Or run `setup-review-sandbox`.
+
+2. **Container networking works** (the check that would have caught the `veth` breakage):
+
+   ```bash
+   docker run --rm --network none alpine true   # A: is the sandbox itself OK?
+   docker run --rm alpine true                  # B: is networking OK?
+   ```
+
+   If **A passes but B fails** with `veth ... operation not supported` → networking is broken (usually a kernel update left `veth` unloadable). Fix: `sudo modprobe veth`; if that errors with a BTF/version mismatch, **reboot** (the running kernel no longer matches its modules).
+
+3. **Isolation runtime (platform-specific):**
+   - **Linux** — gVisor registered as a Docker runtime?
+     ```bash
+     docker info --format '{{range $k,$v := .Runtimes}}{{$k}} {{end}}' | grep -q runsc && echo ok || echo MISSING
+     ```
+     Miss → run `setup-review-sandbox` (installs + registers `runsc`).
+   - **macOS** — the Docker VM (Colima / Docker Desktop) _is_ the sandbox; step 1 already covered it. No `runsc`.
+
+4. **(PR-build mode ONLY) the toolchain image exists:**
+   ```bash
+   docker image inspect nx-review-sandbox:latest >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo ok || echo MISSING
+   ```
+   Miss → run `setup-review-sandbox` (builds it from `tools/review-sandbox/Dockerfile`). **Skip this check** when reproducing against a _published_ nx version — that path needs only steps 1–3 and a public `node` image.
+
+If all needed checks pass, proceed.
+
+## Safety rails (do NOT break these)
+
+- The untrusted repro runs **only** in the container. **Never `-v` a host path in.** nx comes from a registry (or `docker cp`-ed tarballs), never a mount.
+- Always pass: `--cap-drop ALL`, `--security-opt no-new-privileges`, `--memory 4g --cpus 4 --pids-limit 2048`, `--rm`; plus `--runtime=runsc` on Linux.
+- Network is ON (clone + install need it). gVisor still protects the host kernel; on macOS the VM protects the host.
+- One `docker` command per Bash call. (Chaining inside the container's `bash -c '...'` is one host command, which is fine.)
+
+## Run
+
+Detect platform, then a single host command does clone/create → dep-rewrite → install → repro, all inside the sandbox:
+
+```bash
+# RUNTIME="--runtime=runsc"   on Linux
+# RUNTIME=""                   on macOS
+docker run --rm $RUNTIME \
+  --cap-drop ALL --security-opt no-new-privileges \
+  --memory 4g --cpus 4 --pids-limit 2048 \
+  node:22 bash -c '
+    set -e
+    git clone --depth 1 <GIT_URL> /repro          # repo: form
+    # -- or -- npx --yes create-nx-workspace <ARGS> --directory /repro   # create: form
+    cd /repro
+
+    node -e '"'"'
+      const fs=require("fs"),p=JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync("package.json","utf8")),v=process.argv[1];
+      for (const s of ["dependencies","devDependencies"]) for (const n of Object.keys(p[s]||{}))
+        if (n==="nx"||n.startsWith("@nx/")||n.startsWith("@nrwl/")) p[s][n]=v;
+      fs.writeFileSync("package.json", JSON.stringify(p,null,2)+"\n");
+    '"'"' <NX_VERSION>

+
+    ( timeout 300 <REPRO_COMMAND> ); echo "REPRO_EXIT=$?"
+    echo "kernel: $(uname -r)"
+  '
+```
+
+Substitute `<GIT_URL>`/`<ARGS>`, `<NX_VERSION>`, `<NX_REGISTRY>` (default `https://registry.npmjs.org`), and `<REPRO_COMMAND>`.
+
+## Classify + report
+
+Compare output and `REPRO_EXIT` against the reported symptom, and return this block (verdicts match the reproduce-verifier's Level 2 vocabulary):
+
+```
+repro:        <repo-url | create-nx-workspace ...>
+nx-version:   <version>   (registry: <url>)
+command:      <verbatim>
+exit code:    <N>
+verdict:      <PR_REPRO_PASSES | PR_REPRO_FAILS | PR_REPRO_FAILS_DIFFERENT | PR_REPRO_INCONCLUSIVE | SETUP_FAILED>
+output (tail ~20 lines):
+  <...>
+```
+
+- succeeded (matches the claimed fix) → `PR_REPRO_PASSES`
+- failed with the reported error → `PR_REPRO_FAILS`
+- failed with a _different_ error → `PR_REPRO_FAILS_DIFFERENT` (flag for human)
+- unclear → `PR_REPRO_INCONCLUSIVE`
+- clone/create/install broke before the repro ran → `SETUP_FAILED` (say which step + tail)
+
+(For a human `/reproduce-issue` run against a released version, "reproduced" vs "did not reproduce" is the plain-language answer; the verdict vocab above is for the agent.)
+
+## PR-build mode — build nx from source in the sandbox (`nx-build`)
+
+When `nx-build:<git-ref>` is given, do everything in **one `nx-review-sandbox` container** (it carries the mise toolchain incl. **java + dotnet**, required by nx's `@nx/dotnet`/`@nx/gradle` graph plugins). One container, `localhost` throughout — no host build, no host verdaccio, no `host.docker.internal`, no listen-address change:
+
+```bash
+# RUNTIME="--runtime=runsc"  on Linux, ""  on macOS
+docker run --rm $RUNTIME \
+  --cap-drop ALL --security-opt no-new-privileges \
+  --memory 20g --cpus 6 --pids-limit 8192 --tmpfs /work:rw,exec,size=16g \

+    set -e
+    # 1. build nx from the PR commit
+    cd /work
+    git clone --filter=blob:none https://github.com/nrwl/nx nx && cd nx
+    git checkout <GIT_REF>
+    mise install && pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
+    PORT=4873
+    pnpm nx local-registry @nx/nx-source --port=$PORT >/tmp/verdaccio.log 2>&1 &
+    for i in $(seq 1 60); do curl -sf http://localhost:$PORT/-/ping >/dev/null 2>&1 && break; sleep 1; done
+    NX_LOCAL_REGISTRY_PORT=$PORT pnpm nx populate-local-registry-storage @nx/nx-source
+    NXV=$(node -p "require(\"/work/nx/dist/packages/nx/package.json\").version")
+
+    # 2. reproduce against that build — same container, localhost registry
+    cd /work
+    git clone --depth 1 <GIT_URL> repro     # or: npx --yes create-nx-workspace <ARGS> --directory repro
+    cd repro
+    # rewrite nx/@nx/@nrwl deps to "$NXV" (same node one-liner as the Run section)
+    rm -f package-lock.json pnpm-lock.yaml yarn.lock
+    npm_config_registry=http://localhost:$PORT pnpm install
+    ( timeout 300 <REPRO_COMMAND> ); echo "REPRO_EXIT=$?"
+    echo "kernel: $(uname -r)"
+  '
+```
+
+Because verdaccio and the repro live in the **same** container, the registry is plain `localhost` — the reachability/listen-address problems a host verdaccio would create simply don't exist. Classify the result exactly as in "Classify + report".
+
+Prerequisite: the `nx-review-sandbox` image (`setup-review-sandbox`). The nx build is heavy (~several min + several GB) — RAM-backed via the tmpfs above so it stays off the host disk.
+
+## Cleanup
+
+`--rm` destroys the container and everything in it on exit. Nothing persists on the host. Stray sandbox containers/images: `/sandbox-prune`.

+description: One-time setup of the sandbox prerequisites used by the reproduce-issue skill and the reproduce-verifier agent — Docker, the isolation runtime (gVisor on Linux / Colima on macOS), healthy container networking, and the nx-review-sandbox toolchain image (built from the repo's mise.toml). Idempotent; re-run any time to verify or repair. Use when the user says "set up the review sandbox", "install the sandbox prereqs", "build the sandbox image", or a reproduce-issue preflight reports something MISSING.

+---
+
+# Set up the review sandbox (one-time)
+
+Installs and verifies everything the `reproduce-issue` skill / `reproduce-verifier` agent need to run untrusted PR code in isolation. Idempotent — each step checks first and only acts if needed. Steps needing `sudo` are handed to the user to run in their terminal (this skill cannot `sudo` non-interactively).
+
+Run `uname -s` first — the path differs on Linux vs macOS.
+
+## 1. Docker
+
+```bash
+docker info >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "docker OK" || echo "docker MISSING"
+```
+
+- **MISSING, Linux:** install Docker Engine, then `sudo systemctl enable --now docker` and add yourself to the `docker` group (`sudo usermod -aG docker $USER`, then re-login).
+- **MISSING, macOS:** `brew install colima docker` then `colima start` (or install Docker Desktop).
+
+## 2. Isolation runtime
+
+### Linux — gVisor (`runsc`)
+
+```bash
+docker info --format '{{range $k,$v := .Runtimes}}{{$k}} {{end}}' | grep -q runsc && echo "runsc OK" || echo "runsc MISSING"
+```
+
+If MISSING, have the user run this in their terminal (needs `sudo`; their shell is fish — exit codes are `$status`):
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg
+curl -fsSL https://gvisor.dev/archive.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/gvisor-archive-keyring.gpg
+echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/gvisor-archive-keyring.gpg] https://storage.googleapis.com/gvisor/releases release main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gvisor.list
+sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y runsc
+sudo runsc install          # registers runsc as a Docker runtime
+sudo systemctl restart docker
+```
+
+Then re-check the runtime line above.
+
+### macOS — the Docker VM is the sandbox
+
+No `runsc`. Just confirm the VM is up:
+
+```bash
+docker info >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "docker VM OK" || echo "start it: colima start"
+```
+
+## 3. Container networking (catches the `veth` class of breakage)
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm --network none alpine true && echo "sandbox OK"
+docker run --rm alpine true && echo "networking OK" || echo "networking BROKEN"
+```
+
+If the first passes but the second fails with `veth ... operation not supported`:
+
+```bash
+sudo modprobe veth
+```
+
+If `modprobe` errors with a BTF / version mismatch (`failed to validate module [veth] BTF`), the running kernel no longer matches its on-disk modules (a kernel update landed while it was booted) — **reboot**, after which it auto-loads. Persist it: `echo veth | sudo tee /etc/modules-load.d/veth.conf`.
+
+## 4. The toolchain image (`nx-review-sandbox`)
+
+Needed only to **build an unreleased PR's nx** in the sandbox (reproduce-verifier Level 2). Reproducing against a published nx version does NOT need it.
+
+```bash
+docker image inspect nx-review-sandbox:latest >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "image OK" || echo "image MISSING"
+```
+
+If MISSING (or stale — check the `created` date against the Dockerfile), build it. The Dockerfile only needs `mise.toml`, so build from a **minimal context** — do NOT pass `.` (the repo root), which would ship the whole monorepo (node_modules / .git / dist — many GB) to the daemon:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p tmp/review-sandbox-ctx
+cp mise.toml package.json pnpm-lock.yaml pnpm-workspace.yaml tmp/review-sandbox-ctx/
+cp -r patches tmp/review-sandbox-ctx/
+docker build -t nx-review-sandbox:latest -f tools/review-sandbox/Dockerfile tmp/review-sandbox-ctx
+```
+
+The context is still minimal — five entries, ~2 MB, almost all of it the lockfile — and deliberately excludes the repo itself. All five are load-bearing; the Dockerfile explains what each omission breaks.
+
+This installs the repo's exact toolchain — node/java/dotnet/maven/rust/bun via mise — and warms the pnpm store so reviews link packages instead of downloading them. Takes a while and several GB (the warm store is ~2.6 GB of that). Requires steps 1 + 3 to pass first (build needs working networking). If disk is tight, `/sandbox-prune` first.
+
+## 5. Verify (smoke test)
+
+Confirm the sandbox actually isolates and carries the tools:
+
+```bash
+# RUNTIME="--runtime=runsc"  on Linux, ""  on macOS
+docker run --rm $RUNTIME nx-review-sandbox:latest bash -c '
+  cd /work    # mise resolves versions from the mise.toml here; do NOT use bash -l (a login shell resets PATH, dropping the mise dirs)
+  echo "kernel: $(uname -r)"       # Linux+gVisor: 4.19.0-gvisor ; macOS: the VM kernel
+  mise ls | head
+  node --version; java --version 2>&1 | head -1; dotnet --version
+'
+```
+
+Green when: the kernel is NOT your host kernel, and node/java/dotnet report versions. Report a concise ✅/❌ per step and what (if anything) the user still needs to run.

+description: Update the CNW (create-nx-workspace) template repos (nrwl/empty-template, nrwl/react-template, etc.) to a target nx version via nx migrate, verify each repo, and open a PR per repo. Clones repos it needs - assumes no local checkout. Use when asked to "update the CNW templates", "migrate the templates to nx X", "bump the template repos", or given a version like "update templates to 23.2.0".
+allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, WebFetch
+---
+
+# Update CNW Templates
+
+Bump every CNW template repo to one target nx version, verify it still builds and
+still scaffolds, then open a draft PR per repo. Each template is an independent
+GitHub repo under `nrwl/`; `create-nx-workspace --template nrwl/<repo>` clones its
+`main` to scaffold a user's workspace. Each repo has a `ci.yml` that lints, tests,
+builds, typechecks, and e2es it on PRs - but the consumer path (scaffolding from `main`
+via `--template`) isn't covered there, and a force-push to `main` skips PR CI entirely
+(how the react template broke). So verify before you ship.
+
+This skill makes **no assumption that the repos are checked out locally.** It clones
+what it needs. Anyone on the team can run it from a fresh machine.
+
+## Input
+
+- **Target nx version** - e.g. `23.2.0`. If omitted, use latest stable: `npm view nx@latest version`. Verify it exists: `npm view nx@<version> version`.
+- **Repos** - one, several, or (default) all live templates. Names may be given with or without the `-template` suffix.
+- **Work dir** - where clones land. Default `./tmp/cnw-templates/` (gitignored). Reuse an existing clone if one is already there and clean.
+
+## The template repos
+
+All live under `nrwl/<name>-template`, push target branch `main`. `--template` accepts
+the full `nrwl/<repo>` form for all of them. Four templates also have a bare shorthand.
+
+| Template        | `--template` value              | Shorthand |
+| --------------- | ------------------------------- | --------- |
+| empty           | `nrwl/empty-template`           | `empty`   |
+| typescript      | `nrwl/typescript-template`      | `ts`      |
+| react           | `nrwl/react-template`           | `react`   |
+| angular         | `nrwl/angular-template`         | `angular` |
+| react-mfe       | `nrwl/react-mfe-template`       | -         |
+| nextjs          | `nrwl/nextjs-template`          | -         |
+| nestjs          | `nrwl/nestjs-template`          | -         |
+| express-api     | `nrwl/express-api-template`     | -         |
+| astro-starlight | `nrwl/astro-starlight-template` | -         |
+| remotion        | `nrwl/remotion-template`        | -         |
+| tanstack-start  | `nrwl/tanstack-start-template`  | -         |
+| tanstack-ai     | `nrwl/tanstack-ai-template`     | -         |
+
+Before continuing, check that all the templates are live. A repo is live if
+`GET https://api.github.com/repos/nrwl/<name>-template/commits/main` returns 200 (a sha).
+If you hit 404 report it.
+
+This table may change, and the user will tell you which repos to use (defaults to all in the table).
+
+## Procedure
+
+### 1. Resolve version + repo set
+
+```bash
+npm view nx@<version> version                 # confirm target exists
+# for each requested repo, confirm it's live:
+curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" https://api.github.com/repos/nrwl/<name>-template/commits/main
+```
+
+### 1a. If in a Polygraph session, add the templates to it
+
+If this skill runs inside a Polygraph session (the startup banner names a session ID),
+add every target template repo to the session so their per-repo PRs link together under
+one session. The repos are exact `owner/repo` refs, so add them directly - no discovery:
+
+```
+add_repo(sessionId: "<session-id>", repoIds: ["nrwl/empty-template", "nrwl/react-template", ...])
+```
+
+Add only the live repos you're actually touching. After `add_repo`, the PRs you open in
+step 5 join the session automatically - the link is the session, not any cross-reference
+in the PR bodies. If there's no session, skip this and proceed normally.
+
+### 2. Clone (or reuse) each repo
+
+All template repos are npm (`package-lock.json`). Clone over SSH; the working tree must
+be clean before you touch it.
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p tmp/cnw-templates && cd tmp/cnw-templates
+git clone git@github.com:nrwl/<name>-template.git      # or reuse an existing clean clone
+cd <name>-template
+git checkout main
+git status --porcelain      # MUST be empty; if dirty, skip this repo and report
+git fetch origin main && git reset --hard origin/main   # make sure we start from latest origin
+grep '"nx"' package.json    # record current version
+```
+
+### 3. Migrate
+
+Use `CI=true` to skip prompts.
+
+```bash
+CI=true npm install                             # node_modules at current version
+CI=true npx nx migrate <target-version>         # updates package.json, writes migrations.json
+CI=true npm install                             # apply the dep bump
+if [ -f migrations.json ]; then
+  CI=true npx nx migrate --run-migrations
+  rm -f migrations.json
+fi
+```
+
+### 4. Verify
+
+```bash
+NX_NO_CLOUD=true NX_DAEMON=false CI=true npx nx run-many -t build test lint typecheck --skip-nx-cache
+NX_NO_CLOUD=true NX_DAEMON=false CI=true npx nx run-many -t e2e   # where the repo defines it
+```
+
+If any target fails, **revert that repo (`git checkout .`) and report** - never open a red PR.
+
+### 5. Commit + PR (per repo)
+
+Every template's `main` is a single "Initial commit" (verified across all 12 repos), so
+keep the branch to **one commit** (amend, don't stack) and squash-merge the PR.
+
+```bash
+cd tmp/cnw-templates/<name>-template
+git checkout -b update-nx-<target-version>
+git add -A
+git commit -m "chore(deps): update to nx <target-version>"   # never mention AI/Claude
+git push -u origin update-nx-<target-version>
+# open a draft PR to main via the GitHub API (token from env/1Password, never hardcode):
+curl -s -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $GH_TOKEN" -H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" \
+  "https://api.github.com/repos/nrwl/<name>-template/pulls" \
+  -d '{"title":"chore(deps): update to nx <target-version>","head":"update-nx-<target-version>","base":"main","draft":true,"body":"<per-repo summary: old->new nx, migrations run>"}'
+```
+
+PR body: old -> new nx version, which migrations ran, and the verification result. For a
+not-yet-created repo (404 in step 1), skip the push - report it as "not created".
+
+### 6. Sanity check after the PRs land - run-all-templates.sh
+
+`run-all-templates.sh` (bundled next to this file) runs `create-nx-workspace --template
+nrwl/<repo>` for every template and reports pass/fail. It scaffolds from each repo's
+**`main`**, so run it as a **follow-up once the template PRs are merged** (or after you
+push to `main`) - a real end-to-end check that every template still scaffolds for users.
+It can't see an unpushed branch, so it's a post-merge step, not a pre-merge gate.
+
+```bash
+# all templates:
+CNW_VERSION=<target-version> ./run-all-templates.sh
+# a subset:
+CNW_VERSION=<target-version> ONLY="empty-template react-template" ./run-all-templates.sh
+```
+
+### 7. Report
+
+One table across all repos:
+
+```
+| Template        | Previous | Updated | Files | Status         |
+| --------------- | -------- | ------- | ----- | -------------- |
+| empty-template  | 23.1.0   | 23.2.0  | 2     | PR #NN (draft) |
+| nuxt-template   | 23.1.0   | -       | -     | not created    |
+```
+
+Be ready to explain any change - which migration produced it and why.
+
+## Notes
+
+- **Always `CI=true`** for nx/npm commands so nothing blocks on a prompt.
+- **Never push without confirmation.** Open PRs as **drafts**; the owner reviews and marks ready.
+- Patch bumps are usually just `package.json` + lockfile (no `migrations.json`). Minor/major can rewrite source - review the non-dep diff before committing.

+### Vary sentence rhythm
+
+Uniform, medium-length sentences in a confident register are the strongest
+statistical AI signature. Human writing is bursty: short fragments next to
+long chains.
+
+**The test:** Read a paragraph aloud. If every sentence takes the same
+breath, split one and merge two others.

+"Claim: elaboration, elaboration, elaboration" is fine once per section.
+Repeated, it's a fingerprint.
+
+**The test:** Grep for mid-sentence colons. More than one or two per screen
+of prose, rewrite the extras as plain sentences.
+
+### Vary bullet structure
+
+A bolded lead-in label is fine, and often the clearest way to write a short
+reference list. What reads as AI is a run of bullets in lockstep: same
+opening grammar, same claim-then-elaborate shape, same length, every time.
+
+**The test:** In longform prose, if three or more adjacent bullets march in
+lockstep, break the pattern. Vary the lengths, drop the label from one, or
+fold a bullet into the surrounding paragraph.
+
+### Ration balanced-contrast constructions
+
+"Neither X nor Y", "not just X but Y", "X, not Y" are rhetorically tidy and
+AI drafts overuse them.
+
+**The test:** One per section. If a paragraph contains two, keep the one
+that carries a real distinction and flatten the other into a plain claim.

-title: Folder Structure
-description: Learn about organizing your Nx monorepo with effective folder structures, and how to easily move or remove projects as your organization evolves.
-filter: 'type:Concepts'
---
-
-Nx can work with any folder structure you choose, but it is good to have a plan in place for the folder structure of your monorepo.
-
-Projects are often grouped by _scope_. A project's scope is either the application to which it belongs or (for larger applications) a section within that application.
-
-## Move generator
-
-Don't be too anxious about choosing the exact right folder structure from the beginning. Projects can be moved or renamed using the [`@nx/workspace:move` generator](/docs/reference/workspace/generators#move).
-
-For instance, if a project under the `booking` folder is now being shared by multiple apps, you can move it to the shared folder like this:
-
-```shell
-nx g move --project booking-some-project shared/some-project
-```
-
-## Remove generator
-
-Similarly, if you no longer need a project, you can remove it with the [`@nx/workspace:remove` generator](/docs/reference/workspace/generators#remove).
-
-```shell
-nx g remove booking-some-project
-```
-
-## Example workspace
-
-Let's use Nrwl Airlines as an example organization. This organization has two apps, `booking` and `check-in`. In the Nx workspace, projects related to `booking` are grouped under a `libs/booking` folder, projects related to `check-in` are grouped under a `libs/check-in` folder and projects used in both applications are placed in `libs/shared`. You can also have nested grouping folders, (i.e. `libs/shared/seatmap`).
-
-The purpose of these folders is to help with organizing by scope. We recommend grouping projects together which are (usually) updated together. It helps minimize the amount of time a developer spends navigating the folder tree to find the right file.

-## Sharing projects
-
-One of the main advantages of using a monorepo is that there is more visibility into code that can be reused across many different applications. Shared projects are a great way to save developers time and effort by reusing a solution to a common problem.
-
-Let's consider our reference monorepo. The `shared-data-access` project contains the code needed to communicate with the back-end (for example, the URL prefix). We know that this would be the same for all libs; therefore, we should place this in the shared lib and properly document it so that all projects can use it instead of writing their own versions.

-description: Monorepo vs polyrepo comes down to how your teams agree to manage code, dependencies, ownership, and CI, not just technical limits.
-filter: 'type:Concepts'
---
-
-A monorepo keeps many projects in one repository, while a polyrepo splits them across separate ones. Both work well with Nx, so choosing between them is mostly an organizational decision rather than a technical one. Nx and Nx Cloud address the [technical challenges](/docs/concepts/decisions/why-monorepos) of maintaining a large monorepo, so the limiting factors in how large your monorepo grows are interpersonal.
-
-In order for teams to work together in a monorepo, they need to agree on how that repository is going to be managed. These questions can be answered in many different ways, but if the developers in the repository can't agree on the answers, then they'll need to work in separate repositories.
-
-**Organizational Decisions:**
-
- [Dependency Management](/docs/concepts/decisions/dependency-management) - Should there be an enforced single version policy or should each project maintain their own dependency versions independently?
- [Code Ownership](/docs/concepts/decisions/code-ownership) - What is the code review process? Who is responsible for reviewing changes to each portion of the repository?
- [Project Dependency Rules](/docs/concepts/decisions/project-dependency-rules) - What are the restrictions on dependencies between projects? Which projects can depend on which other projects?
- [Folder Structure](/docs/concepts/decisions/folder-structure) - What is the folder structure and naming convention for projects in the repository?
- [Project Size](/docs/concepts/decisions/project-size) - What size should projects be before they need to be split into separate projects?
- Git Workflow - What Git workflow should be used? Will you use trunk-based development or long running feature branches?
- CI Pipeline - How is the CI pipeline managed? Who is responsible for maintaining it?
- Deployment - How are deployments managed? Does each project deploy independently or do they all deploy at once?
-
-## How many repositories?
-
-Once you have a good understanding of where people stand on these questions, you'll need to choose between one of the following setups:
-
-### One monorepo to rule them all
-
-If everyone can agree on how to run the repository, having [a single monorepo will provide a lot of benefits](/docs/concepts/decisions/why-monorepos). Every project can share code and maintenance tasks can be performed in one PR for the entire organization. Any task that involves coordination becomes much easier.
-
-Once the repository scales to hundreds of developers, you need to take proactive steps to ensure that your decisions about [code review](/docs/concepts/decisions/code-ownership) and [project dependency restrictions](/docs/features/enforce-module-boundaries) do not inhibit the velocity of your teams. Also, any shared code and tooling (like the CI pipeline or a shared component library) need to be maintained by a dedicated team to help everyone in the monorepo.
-
-### Polyrepos - a repository for each project
-
-If every project is placed in its own repository, each team can make their own organizational decisions without the need to consult with other teams. Unfortunately, this also means that each team has to make their own organizational decisions instead of focusing on feature work that provides business value. Sharing code is difficult with this set up and every maintenance task needs to be repeated across all the repositories in the organization.
-
-Nx can still be useful with this organizational structure. Tooling and maintenance tasks can be centralized through shared [Nx plugins](/docs/concepts/nx-plugins) that each repository can opt-in to using. Since creating repositories is a frequent occurrence in this scenario, Nx [generators](/docs/features/generate-code) can be used to quickly scaffold out the repository with reasonable tooling defaults.
-
-### Multiple monorepos
-
-Somewhere between the single monorepo and the full polyrepo solutions exists the multiple monorepo setup. Typically when there are disagreements about organizational decisions, there are two or three factions that form. These factions can naturally be allocated to separate monorepos that have been configured in a way that best suits the teams that will be working in them.
-
-Compared to the single monorepo setup, this setup requires some extra overhead cost - maintaining multiple CI pipelines and performing the same tooling maintenance tasks on multiple repositories, but this cost could be offset by the extra productivity boost provided by the fact that each team can work in a repository that is optimized for the way that they work.

-description: Understand the trade-offs of project granularity in Nx, including benefits like faster commands, clearer boundaries, and improved developer experience.
-keywords: [library]
-filter: 'type:Concepts'
---
-
-Like a lot of decisions in programming, deciding to make a new Nx project or not is all about trade-offs. Each organization will decide on their own conventions, but here are some trade-offs to bear in mind as you have the conversation.
-
-## What is a project for?
-
-> Developers new to Nx can be initially hesitant to move their logic into separate projects, because they assume it implies that those projects need to be general purpose and shareable across applications.
-
-**This is a common misconception, moving code into projects can be done from a pure code organization perspective.**
-
-Ease of re-use might emerge as a positive side effect of refactoring code into projects by applying an _"API thinking"_ approach. It is not the main driver though.
-
-In fact when organizing projects you should think about your business domains.
-
-## Should i make a new project?
-
-There are three main benefits to breaking your code up into more projects.
-
-### 1. Faster commands
-
-The more granular your projects are, the more effective `nx affected` and Nx computation cache will be. For example, if `projectA` contains 10 tests, but only 5 of them were affected by a particular code change, all 10 tests will be run by `nx affected -t test`. If you can predict which 5 tests are usually run together, you can split all the related code into a separate project to allow the two groups of 5 tests to be executed independently.
-
-### 2. Visualizing architecture
-
-The `nx graph` command generates a graph of how apps and projects depend on each other. If most of your code lives in a few giant projects, this visualization doesn't provide much value. Adding the `--watch` flag to the command will update the visualization in-browser as you make changes.
-
-### 3. Enforcing constraints
-
-You can enforce constraints on how different types of projects depend on each other [using tags](/docs/features/enforce-module-boundaries). Following pre-determined conventions on what kind of code can go in different types of projects allows your tagging system to enforce good architectural patterns.
-
-Also, each project defines its own API, which allows for encapsulating logic that other parts of codebase can not access. You can even use a [CODEOWNERS file](https://help.github.com/en/github/creating-cloning-and-archiving-repositories/about-code-owners) to assign ownership of a certain project to a user or team.
-
-## Should i add to an existing project?
-
-Limiting the number of projects by keeping code in an existing project also has benefits.
-
-### 1. Consolidating code
-
-Related code should be close together. If a developer can accomplish a task without moving between multiple different folders, it helps them work faster and make less mistakes. Every new project adds some folders and configuration files that are not directly contributing to business value. Nx helps reduce the cost of adding a new project, but it isn't zero.
-
-### 2. Removing constraints
-
-Especially for rapidly evolving code, the standard architectural constraints may just get in the way of experimentation and exploration. It may be worthwhile to develop for a while in a single project in order to allow a real architecture to emerge and then refactoring into multiple projects once the pace of change has slowed down.

-title: Monorepos
-description: Understand the benefits of monorepos including shared code, atomic changes, developer mobility, and consistent dependencies across your organization.
-filter: 'type:Concepts'
---
-
-A monorepo is a single git repository that holds the source code for multiple applications and libraries, along with the tooling for them.
-
-## What are the benefits of a monorepo?
-
- **Shared code and visibility** - [Keeps your code DRY across your entire organization.](/docs/concepts/decisions/code-ownership) Reuse validation code, UI components, and types across the codebase. Reuse code between the backend, the frontend, and utility libraries.
-
- **Atomic changes** - Change a server API and modify the downstream applications that consume that API in the same commit. You can change a button component in a shared library and the applications that use that component in the same commit. A monorepo saves the pain of trying to coordinate commits across multiple repositories.
-
- **Developer mobility** - Get a consistent way of building and testing applications written using different tools and technologies. Developers can confidently contribute to other teams' applications and verify that their changes are safe.
-
- **Single set of dependencies** - [Use a single version of all third-party dependencies](/docs/concepts/decisions/dependency-management), reducing inconsistencies between applications. Less actively developed applications are still kept up-to-date with the latest version of a framework, library, or build tool.
-
-## Why not just code collocation?
-
-A naive implementation of a monorepo is code collocation, where you combine all the code from multiple repositories into the same repo. Many large companies that use monorepos don't "simply" put all the code in one place. **That's not enough**. Without adequate tooling to coordinate everything, problems arise with simply collocating code.
-
- **Running unnecessary tests** - All tests in the entire repository run to ensure nothing breaks from a given change. Even code in projects that are unrelated to the actual change.
-
- **No code boundaries** - Bugs and inconsistencies are added by a developer from another team changing code in your project. Or worse, another team uses code that you only intended for private use in their application. Now another project code depends on it, keeping you from making changes that may break their application.
-
- **Inconsistent tooling** - Each project uses its own set of commands for running tests, building, serving, linting, deploying, and so forth. Inconsistency creates mental overhead remembering which commands to use from project to project.
-
-Tools like Lerna and Yarn Workspaces help optimize the installation of node modules, but they **do not** enable Monorepo-style development. In other words, they solve an orthogonal problem and can even be used in combination with Nx. Read more on it [here](https://blog.nrwl.io/why-you-should-switch-from-lerna-to-nx-463bcaf6821).
-
-## Nx + code collocation = monorepo
-
-Nx provides tools to give you the benefits of a monorepo without the drawbacks of simple code collocation.
-
-### Scaling your monorepo with Nx
-
- **Consistent Command Execution** - Executors allow for consistent commands to test, serve, build, and lint each project using various tools.
-
- **Consistent Code Generation** - Generators allow you to customize and standardize organizational conventions and structure, removing the need to perform the same manual setup tasks repetitively.
-
- **Affected Commands** - [Nx affected commands](/docs/reference/nx-commands#nx-affected) analyze your source code, the context of the changes, and only runs tasks on the affected projects impacted by the source code changes.
-
- **Remote Caching** - Nx provides local caching and support for remote caching of command executions. With remote caching, when someone on your team runs a command, everyone else gets access to those artifacts to speed up their command executions, bringing them down from minutes to seconds. Nx helps you scale your development to massive applications and libraries even more with distributed task execution and incremental builds.
-
-### Scaling your organization with Nx
-
- **Controlled Code Sharing** - While sharing code becomes much easier to share, there should also be constraints of when and how code should be depended on. Libraries are defined with specific enforced APIs. Rules should be put in place to define which libraries can depend on each other. Also, even though everyone has access to the repo does not mean that anyone should change any project. Projects should have owners such that changes to that project requires their approval. This can be defined using a `CODEOWNERS` file.
-
- **Consistent Code Generation** - Generators allow you to automate code creation and modification tasks. Instead of writing a 7 steps guide in a readme file, you can create a generator to prompt the developer for inputs and modify the code directly. Nrwl provides plugins containing useful executors and generators for many popular tools. Also, Nx workspaces are extended further through a growing number of community-provided plugins.
-
- **Accurate Architecture Diagram** - Most architecture diagrams become obsolete in an instant. And every diagram becomes out of date as soon as the code changes. Because Nx understands your code, it generates an up-to-date and accurate diagram of how projects depend on each other. The Nx project dependencies are also pluggable to extend to other programming languages and ecosystems.

-Any CI tool requires tight integration with your existing version control system. Nx Cloud offers first class integration with GitHub in the following ways.
+GitHub Actions runs every job on every push by default, so CI time in a monorepo grows with the
+size of the repository.
+Nx keeps GitHub Actions fast by running tasks only for the projects affected by each pull request,
+restoring unchanged results from a remote cache, and distributing the remaining work across
+machines.

-## Easy workspace setup
+## How does Nx speed up GitHub Actions?

-![Screenshot of Nx Cloud connecting a GitHub repository](../../../../assets/features/ci-features/github-onboarding.avif)
+Nx speeds up GitHub Actions in three layers:

-Get started quickly with Nx Cloud with our GitHub connection process. Connect your workspace by selecting your repo and organization from GitHub, and Nx Cloud will create a pull request with all the necessary configuration. User access is automatically connected to GitHub, and a PR is created to connect your workspace. Your repo now has [distributed caching](/docs/features/ci-features/remote-cache) in less than 5 minutes.
+- `nx affected` runs lint, test, and build only for projects impacted by a pull request.
+- Nx Cloud restores results that were already computed from a remote cache.
+- Nx Agents distribute what's left across multiple machines.

-You can also create a new workspace from a template for experimentation. This workspace will come pre-configured with Nx Cloud and examples of core Nx concepts. Run `npx create-nx-workspace@latest` and choose a template to get started.
+Affected runs work without an Nx Cloud account, so you can adopt each layer separately.

-[Connect your Nx Cloud account to GitHub](/docs/features/ci-features/github-integration#connect-to-github) to use this feature.

+## Run only affected projects in GitHub Actions
+
+Use `nx affected` instead of `nx run-many` in CI, and Nx compares your changes against a base
+commit to skip projects that couldn't have been broken.
+Two pieces of the workflow above make this work:
+
+- `fetch-depth: 0` on the checkout step gives Nx access to the full git history, which it needs
+  to compute the changed file set.
+- `nrwl/nx-set-shas@v5` sets the `NX_BASE` and `NX_HEAD` environment variables that `nx affected`
+  reads.
+  On a pull request, the base is the branch you're merging into.
+  On a push to `main`, the action sets `NX_BASE` to the commit of the last successful workflow
+  run, so commits that land while CI is red still get verified.
+
+## Add remote caching and task distribution
+
+Affected pruning skips projects that didn't change.
+[Remote caching](/docs/features/ci-features/remote-cache) goes further by reusing results for
+tasks whose inputs are identical to an earlier run, whether that run happened in CI or on a
+teammate's machine.
+Connect your workspace by running this command:
+
+```shell
+npx nx connect
+```
+
+Or follow the [Nx Cloud getting started guide](/docs/getting-started/nx-cloud).
+
+Once connected, one extra line
+[distributes tasks across multiple machines](/docs/features/ci-features/distribute-task-execution),
+and `npx nx fix-ci` lets self-healing CI propose fixes when tasks fail.
+Run `start-ci-run` as early as possible, after checkout but before dependencies are installed:
+
+```yaml
+# .github/workflows/ci.yml
+# ... checkout step as above
+
+- run: npx nx start-ci-run --distribute-on="3 linux-medium-js"
+
+# ... install and nx-set-shas steps as above
+
+- run: npx nx affected -t lint test build
+- run: npx nx fix-ci
+  if: always()
+```
+
+You can also enable [task sandboxing](/docs/features/ci-features/sandboxing) to run each
+distributed task in an isolated sandbox, and track per-agent CPU and memory with
+[resource usage](/docs/features/ci-features/resource-usage) to right-size your agents.

-
-Keeping all the industry-standard tools involved in a large TypeScript monorepo correctly configured and working well together is a difficult task. And the more tools you add, the more opportunity there is for tools to conflict with each other in some way.
-
-In addition to [generating default configuration files](/docs/features/generate-code) and [automatically updating dependencies](/docs/features/automate-updating-dependencies) to versions that we know work together, Nx makes managing all the tools in your monorepo easier in two ways:
-
- Rather than adding another tool that you have to configure, Nx configures itself to match the existing configuration of other tools.
- Nx also enhances certain tools to be more usable in a monorepo context.
-
-## Auto-configuration
-
-Whenever possible, Nx will detect the existing configuration settings of other tools and update itself to match.
-
-### Project detection with workspaces
-
-If your repository is using package manager workspaces, Nx will use those settings to find all the [projects](/docs/reference/project-configuration) in your repository. So you don't need to define a project for your package manager and separately identify the project for Nx. The `workspaces` configuration allows Nx to detect the project graph.

-## Enhance tools for monorepos
-
-Nx does not just reduce its own configuration burden, it also improves the functionality of your existing tools so that they work better in a monorepo context.
-
-### Keep TypeScript project references in sync
-
-TypeScript provides a feature called [Project References](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/project-references.html) that allows the TypeScript compiler to build and typecheck each project independently. When each project is typechecked, the TypeScript compiler will output an intermediate `*.tsbuildinfo` file that can be used by other projects instead of re-typechecking all dependencies. This feature can provide [significant performance improvements](/docs/concepts/typescript-project-linking#typescript-project-references-performance-benefits), particularly in a large monorepo.
-
-The main downside of this feature is that you have to manually define each project's references (dependencies) in the appropriate `tsconfig.*.json` file. This process is tedious to set up and very difficult to maintain as the repository changes over time. Nx can help by using a [sync generator](/docs/concepts/sync-generators) to automatically update the references defined in the `tsconfig.json` files based on the project graph it already knows about.
