v0.1.3 — Release Version Overrides

What's New

release dependency type — override any package with a different published npm version, without touching your package.json permanently.

packdev add lodash ^3.10.1        # override to an older version
packdev add typescript 4.9.5      # pin to an exact release
packdev init                       # installs the override
packdev finish                     # restores original version

PackDev now supports three override types:

Type	Example	Use case
local	../my-lib	Local filesystem path
git	github:org/repo#branch	Git repository
release	^3.10.1	Different npm registry version

Improvements

• --original-version flag documented — use it when packdev can't auto-detect the original version (e.g. when a package is already overridden)
• create-config is now optional — packdev add creates the config automatically if it doesn't exist
• .packdev.json clarified as per-developer — should be added to .gitignore since local paths differ between machines

Bug Fixes

• validateProject / status now correctly reports Active when a release override is applied
• addLocalDependency now guards against saving an active release override as the original version
• Git pre-commit hook now detects release overrides and blocks accidental commits
