🔥 Incident Report: Broken Latest Versions on mdast2docx & Scoped Packages

[mayank1513]

TL;DR
Recent releases of mdast2docx and its scoped packages were broken due to build misconfigurations — only package.json and README.md were published. Subsequent fixes accidentally included workspace:* dependencies. I'm actively resolving this and restructuring the project into multiple repos for better maintainability.

Hey everyone,

There was a serious incident recently. The core mdast2docx library along with its scoped ecosystem packages were working great, but due to some accidental changes in the build process, the latest versions of all the scoped packages and the main mdast2docx package were published incorrectly.

Essentially, only the package.json and README.md files made it into the published tarballs — no source code. In an attempt to fix the issue quickly, I pushed subsequent versions. But in the rush, I also accidentally published versions with workspace:* dependencies, which obviously causes install and resolution issues.

I take full responsibility for this — I’m on fire right now and actively working to fix these issues ASAP.

On a related note, I've started splitting the monorepo into multiple standalone repositories. Keeping everything in a single repo was adding complexity, and without tight checks, it’s proving to be risky.

Thanks for your patience and continued support. I’ll keep this thread updated with progress and resolutions. 🙏

— Mayank
