Workbench + export pipeline

When to use

• Building or refactoring Workbench UI panels, onboarding, or actions.
• Updating Workbench state (UAM v1, scopes, blocks, targets) or scan handoff.
• Changing compile/export behavior, adapters, or target options.

Quick map

• Workbench UI + state: src/components/workbench/* + src/hooks/useWorkbenchStore.ts
• Compile endpoint: src/app/api/compile/route.ts
• Compile + adapters: src/lib/compile/compile.ts, src/lib/adapters/*, src/lib/uam/compile/*
• Export UX: src/components/workbench/ExportPanel.tsx

Workflow

1. Confirm entry point

   • Identify whether the change is UI-only, state-only, or export pipeline.
   • Workbench state lives in useWorkbenchStore; it normalizes UAM v1 and syncs legacy fields.

2. State + targets

   • Targets are stored on the UAM v1 definition; changes should flow through setUam + target helpers.
   • When adjusting scan → Workbench handoff, review applyScanContext and SCAN_TOOL_TARGET_MAP.

3. Export/compile behavior

   • Export panel calls /api/compile (debounced) and displays the compilation result.
   • Update compile or adapter logic in src/lib/compile/compile.ts and src/lib/adapters/*.
   • Keep file path collisions and warnings surfaced (compile result is shown in Workbench).

4. Adapters

   • Adapters define target-specific output; register new adapters in the registry.
   • If adapter output or options change, update docs/architecture/skills-export-matrix.md.

5. Tests + checks

   • Run npm run compile, npm run lint, npm run test:unit.
   • If you change export behavior, check any Workbench/E2E references and update tests as needed.

Guardrails

• Prefer UAM v1 helpers (createUamTargetV1, normalizeUamTargetsV1) to avoid drift.
• Keep Workbench strings aligned with docs/ux/microcopy-guidelines.md.
