refactor: consume shared packages via sparse global-packages submodule by rezaelahidev · Pull Request #454 · blockeraai/blockera

rezaelahidev · 2026-08-08T20:34:04Z

Summary

Move shared packages out of this repo into blockeraai/blockera-global-packages and consume them through a sparse git submodule at packages/global-packages (only the remote packages/ tree is checked out).
Retarget Composer path repos, npm file: deps, webpack, zip build, Cypress/Playwright/PHPUnit, and related tooling to packages/global-packages/packages/* (no sibling clone or symlinks).
Init the private submodule in CI via ensure-global-packages-sparse.sh + BLOCKERABOT_PAT (full git submodule update --init, not actions/checkout submodules: — shallow SHA fetches fail for non-default-branch pins).
Auto-sync the submodule pin: global-packages notifies consumers on push; this repo’s sync-global-packages-submodule workflow opens a bump PR on master or pushes onto a matching feature branch. Local helpers: Husky branch mirroring + npm run submodule:bump.
Keep production bootstrap clean: autoloader-coordinator lives in the submodule for dev; zip build copies it into inc/ and keeps require-dev packages out of the production autoload.

Test plan

Fresh clone: git submodule update --init packages/global-packages then bash .github/scripts/ensure-global-packages-sparse.sh; composer install + npm ci succeed
Local: npm start / editor load without missing shared-package path errors
Local: npm run submodule:bump (and optional branch/SHA arg) updates the gitlink cleanly
CI: lint, Jest, PHPUnit, Cypress, Playwright all pass with submodule init (no clone/symlink actions)
Production zip: blockera.zip still bootstraps; coordinator present under inc/; no require-dev packages in production vendor autoload
After merge to default branch: push to blockera-global-packages triggers consumer sync (master → bump PR; matching feature branch → direct pin push)

Notes

repository_dispatch only runs workflows that already exist on the default branch — merge this PR (or at least the sync workflow) before expecting automatic bumps.
Cursor / docs: local core trees live under source-codes/; shared-package workflow is documented in .github/CONTRIBUTING.md.

Point npm file: deps and Composer path repos at ../packages so CI can use /home/runner/work/blockera/packages.

Checkout into .blockera-global-packages, symlink ../packages for consumer deps, and update linker plus related workflow/path references.

Block Editor Performance Report (PR vs Core)

Compare Blockera vs Core (plugin off) using Chromium tracing metrics adapted from the Gutenberg post-editor performance suite.

Only scenarios without requiresBlockera (or requiresBlockera: false) are gated in this report.

Numbers are median interaction durations in milliseconds (lower is faster).

All gated numbers are median values over 1 repetition(s) with 10 sample(s) each.

Scenario	Metric	Core	Blockera (PR)	Diff ms	Diff %	Threshold	Status
