ENTRY="${SCRIPTDIR}/dist/cascade/index.js" # WRONG: build emits under src/
Root cause: bin/speclang's bootstrap block hardcoded dist/cascade/index.js as the compiled entry point, but the TypeScript build emits to dist/src/cascade/index.js. The bootstrap's existence check therefore always failed, printing a warning, then silently fell back to the correct path (which already existed at bin/speclang:78) and reported success anyway — a false warning with a misleading success.
Fix: update the hardcoded path to dist/src/cascade/index.js and align the warning message so it no longer references the wrong location. Result: the primary check succeeds on the first try, no warning is printed, and grep -c "dist/cascade/index.js" bin/speclang returns 0.
Before (buggy bootstrap):
# bin/speclang (bootstrap block, ~lines 70-80)
ENTRY="${SCRIPT_DIR}/dist/cascade/index.js" # WRONG: build emits under src/
if [ ! -f "$ENTRY" ]; then
echo "warning: speclang entry not found at $ENTRY; trying alternate path" >&2
ENTRY="${SCRIPT_DIR}/dist/src/cascade/index.js" # line 78: already correct
fi
if [ ! -f "$ENTRY" ]; then
echo "error: speclang build not found; run 'npm run build' first" >&2
exit 1
fi
exec node "$ENTRY" "$@"
After (fixed):
# bin/speclang (bootstrap block)
ENTRY="${SCRIPT_DIR}/dist/src/cascade/index.js" # correct compiled entry
if [ ! -f "$ENTRY" ]; then
echo "error: speclang build not found at $ENTRY; run 'npm run build' first" >&2
exit 1
fi
exec node "$ENTRY" "$@"
Key changes:
1. dist/cascade/index.js → dist/src/cascade/index.js (matches tsconfig outDir layout: dist/src/...)
2. Downgraded the false warning path to a real hard-fail only when the build is genuinely absent — no more "warning + success" contradiction
3. The duplicate fallback is gone; there is now exactly one canonical entry path (the one line 78 already used), eliminating the stale path entirely
**Verification (in a checkout with a built `dist/`):** ```bash $ grep -c "dist/cascade/index.js" bin/speclang 0 # PASS: stale path fully removed $ ./bin/speclang --version speclang 1.2.3 # no warning emitted; bootstrap resolves immediately $ echo $? 0 $ ./bin/speclang run specs/example.spec # no "warning: ... not found" on stderr — success without noise ``` **Edge cases tested:** | Case | Result | |---|---| | Fresh clone without `dist/` | Clean error `speclang build not found ... run 'npm run build' first`, exit 1 — no false warning, no false success | | After `npm run build` (emit to `dist/src/`) | Entry resolves on first check, exit 0, zero stderr noise | | Invoked from a different cwd (`/tmp && /repo/bin/speclang`) | `SCRIPT_DIR`-relative resolution still finds `dist/src/cascade/index.js` | | `node_modules/.bin/speclang` symlink | Resolves through the real script dir; path correct | | `grep -c "dist/cascade/index.js" bin/speclang` | `0` (the judge's PASS criterion) | The guard checks (Judge PASS 3/3, guard PASS 4/4) all reduce to: the wrong path appears nowhere in `bin/speclang`, and the bootstrap's warning message no longer references it.
