No published surface points at the removed app command group - #211
Merged
Conversation
The app group left the CLI in S8 (deploys now start from a pushed connected repository, the Console, or composer deploy), but rc.4 still told users to run it: project create's next action was 'prisma-cli app deploy', which answers CLI.UNKNOWN_COMMAND (#203), and init's next action was 'npx -y @prisma/cli@latest app deploy' — doubly wrong, since latest still serves the 3.x line (#182). Source strings: - project create / setup next actions: app deploy -> git connect - project-ambiguous guidance: app deploy --project <id> -> project link <id> - ENV_BRANCH_CREATE_REQUIRES_DEFAULT_BRANCH: app deploy --branch main -> git connect <repository-url> - env-file read errors: the dead 'deploy' command branch is gone - compute-config target guidance: 'prisma-cli app <cmd>' -> 'prisma-cli service <cmd>', and the 'deploy' default parameter is removed (every caller passes its command name) - PRISMA_CLI_PACKAGE_SPEC: @prisma/cli@latest -> @prisma/cli@next, so package-runner hints (init, agent) stop bouncing users into the 3.x line; latest keeps serving 3.x until the deliberate cutover - CLI_DOCS_URL: /docs/orm/tools/prisma-cli 308-redirects to the ORM CLI reference, the wrong docs for this CLI -> /docs Dead code: mergeComputeDeployInputs / mergeComputeLocalInputs / computeFrameworkToBuildType only served the removed app deploy / app build / app run commands and were referenced only by their tests. Docs: READMEs (root, cli, prisma) and both example READMEs now describe the shipped surface (service/postgres groups, git-push deploys, next dist-tag, the prisma package's actual prisma binary). command-spec.md and resource-model.md get a dated staleness notice pointing at the mounted tree instead of a wholesale rewrite this PR should not author. glossary.md's dist-tag row now matches docs/oss/versioning.md, and overview.md names .prisma/local.json (not prisma.config.ts) as the project-pin location. Verification: pnpm --filter @prisma/cli test (970 passing), tsc --noEmit, pnpm lint, pnpm check:grammar. Fixes #203. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

- project remove's blocked-removal guidance emitted 'app remove --app <name>' through a port layer with no app->service rename; it now says 'service remove <name>' (service remove takes the positional). - next-smoke's rendered page and the onboarding doc still instructed 'app deploy'. - packages/prisma's pnpm install line said 'pnpm add -D prisma', which resolves latest = Prisma 7; now prisma@next like the npx line above it. - packages/cli/AGENTS.md no longer frames the package as app deployment workflows. - tests/helpers/deploy-result.ts served only the removed app deploy tests and had no importers left; deleted.

Will's call on the review: the pre-S8 product spec and resource model describe a command surface that no longer exists, so they go rather than carry staleness notices. Every live reference moves with them; the mounted tree in packages/cli/src/cli.ts is named as the authoritative surface where a pointer is still needed. The historical mention in ADR 0002 stays, ADRs being records. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Remove the obsolete app command-group example.
The glossary still lists app as a valid command group. The PR objective removes that group and the app deploy flow. Replace the example with a shipped group such as project or service.

Describe init as local service compute configuration in both package READMEs. The supplied packages/cli/src/cli.ts guidance says init writes local compute configuration read by the service group, not committed project configuration.

What this PR does
Every user-facing hint, doc, and example now points at a command that exists. The
appcommand group was removed in the rc line, but rc.5 still tells users to run it. Merging this closes #203 and the next-step items of #182.The bug
init's next actions are worse: they spellnpx -y @prisma/cli@latest app deploy, andlateststill serves the 3.x beta. A newcomer who follows the printed hint lands in the wrong CLI line.The fix, in three parts
1. Source strings. Each producer of
app ...guidance now emits the closest real command at the same decision point:project createand setup next actions suggestgit connect(deploys start from a pushed connected repository)project link <matched-id>ENV_BRANCH_CREATE_REQUIRES_DEFAULT_BRANCHsuggestsgit connect <repository-url>prisma-cli service <cmd>instead ofprisma-cli app <cmd>, and the"deploy"default parameter is removed since every caller passes its command namePRISMA_CLI_PACKAGE_SPECmoves from@prisma/cli@latestto@prisma/cli@next, so package-runner hints (init, agent) stop pointing at the 3.x lineCLI_DOCS_URLmoves tohttps://www.prisma.io/docs; the old path redirects to the ORM CLI reference, which is the wrong docs for this CLI2. Dead code.
mergeComputeDeployInputs,mergeComputeLocalInputs, andcomputeFrameworkToBuildTypeserved only the removedapp deploy,app build, andapp runcommands and were referenced only by their tests. Deleted with those tests (about 150 lines).3. Docs. The root, cli, and prisma READMEs and both example READMEs now describe the shipped surface: the
serviceandpostgresgroups, git-push deploys, thenextdist-tag, and theprismapackage's actualprismabinary.command-spec.mdandresource-model.mdget a dated staleness notice plus a corrected Scope list; a full rewrite of the 2,250-line product spec is a product-authoring task this cleanup deliberately does not attempt.glossary.mdandoverview.mdget their factual corrections.Why this is the smallest appropriate fix
Every edit deletes dead code, replaces a nonexistent command with a real one, or corrects a factual doc claim. No behavior beyond user-facing guidance strings changes, and no new helpers or abstractions are introduced.
Testing
