# Lithosphere Makalu Workspace

Makalu contains the developer-facing workspace used for Lithosphere GitHub developer-preview releases.

The preview release surface is intentionally small:

* `packages/create-litho-app`: official scaffolding CLI
* `templates/sdk-template`: packaged and released as `@lithosphere/sdk`
* `contracts/`: canonical contract artifacts bundled into GitHub prereleases

The rest of the workspace remains product and infrastructure source for the wider Lithosphere stack.

## Requirements

* Node.js 20.x
* pnpm 9.x

## Local Development

```bash
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm build
pnpm test
```

## Developer Preview Packaging

```bash
pnpm --filter create-litho-app build
pnpm --filter @lithosphere/sdk build
pnpm --filter @lithosphere/sdk test
pnpm --dir contracts compile
```

## Packages And Templates

* `packages/create-litho-app`: scaffolds contracts, service, and SDK starter projects
* `templates/contracts-template`: Hardhat + Foundry starter with deploy and verification scripts
* `templates/sdk-template`: TypeScript SDK library template released as the preview SDK package
* `templates/service-template`: Fastify service starter used by the CLI

## Notes

* The workspace does not currently contain a standalone Lithic compiler package.
* GitHub prereleases are the supported external distribution channel for this preview. Public npm publishing can follow after the preview hardening phase.
