Beta 5 Package And Workspace Discipline

Release label: 1.0.0-beta.5 candidate scope

Status: in progress.

Scope

This post-1.0.0-beta.4 slice tightens local package/workspace behavior without adding a remote registry, package solver, lockfile, or stable package ABI promise.

Current Work

• Add [workspace] default_package = "name" as an explicit build/run entry selector for workspaces with multiple packages that contain their entry module.
• Keep check, test, fmt, and doc project-wide over the full closed workspace graph.
• Diagnose missing default_package references during workspace loading.
• Diagnose duplicate workspace members after path normalization before package loading.
• Add workspace package and dependency summaries to glagol doc.
• Teach generated workspace templates and canonical workspace examples to declare default_package = "app".
• Add docs/language/PACKAGES.md as the public beta local package/workspace guide, including the no-registry/no-lockfile policy.
• Keep dependency resolution local-path-only and deterministic.

Acceptance Gates

• cargo test --test project_mode workspace_default_package
• cargo test --test project_mode workspace_package_boundaries
• cargo test --test dx_v1_7 doc_generates_workspace_package_summary
• cargo test --test dx_v1_7 new_workspace_template
• cargo fmt --check
• git diff --check

Deferrals

• No remote registry.
• No lockfile.
• No semantic-version solver.
• No optional, dev, target, or feature dependencies.
• No package publishing or archive format.
• No stable package ABI/layout guarantee.
