Workspace diagnostics
A malformed declared-workspacepackage.json, a workspace glob that matches a directory without package.json, or a tsconfig reference pointing at a missing directory all surface as workspace_diagnostics[] entries with a kind discriminator:
A malformed ROOT
package.json is treated as a hard config-load error and exits 2 instead of warning; everything else is warn-and-continue so analysis still runs on the remaining workspaces. The same workspace-discovery diagnostics are emitted on fallow dead-code, fallow dupes, and fallow health JSON envelopes (omitted when empty), so CI consumers can gate on discovery problems without a separate command. Those analysis envelopes can also include source-discovery skip diagnostics: skipped-large-file and skipped-minified-file, each with size_bytes.
Example output
$ fallow list --boundaries
Logical groups: section appears whenever the config (or a preset) uses
autoDiscover to fan a parent zone out into one zone per child directory.
Each entry shows the user-authored parent name, the exact autoDiscover paths
as written, the discovered children, and a summed file count. The human output
puts misconfigured entries (invalid path, empty) first inside the section
and splits the file count into N files (X children + Y fallback) when the
parent has both patterns and autoDiscover (e.g. the Bulletproof preset).
The --format json output mirrors this in a parallel
boundaries.logical_groups[] array, with extra fields for round-trip config
tooling: auto_discover (verbatim user strings), source_zone_index
(position in the pre-expansion zones[]), status (ok / empty /
invalid_path), authored_rule (the pre-expansion rule keyed on the parent),
fallback_zone (a back-reference when the parent kept its own patterns and
stayed in zones[], as in the Bulletproof preset), merged_from (parent zone
indices when the user declared the same parent name twice; surfaces the
duplicate that would otherwise only appear in tracing::warn!),
original_zone_root (echo of the parent’s root subtree scope so monorepo
patchers can tell whether root was authored on the parent or per-child), and
child_source_indices (parallel to children, attributing each child to a
specific auto_discover entry when multiple paths were authored). The full
shape is documented in
docs/output-schema.json
under ListBoundariesOutput.
