Modules

Feature modules carved out of packages/frontend/editor-ui. Each one is a workspace package at <name>/frontend: source-only (main: "src/index.ts", no dist), consumed by the editor-ui shell through Vite aliases.

<name>/backend is a reserved path rather than a workspace package — the backend runtime discovers modules under packages/cli/src/modules/<name>. The extra nesting level is what lets both halves of a module sit together later.

packages/modules itself stays tracked even when it holds nothing: turbo rejects a --filter whose directory does not exist.

CI splits the two halves by path. The frontend jobs select packages/modules/*/frontend. The backend jobs exclude that same path instead of all of packages/modules, so a <name>/backend package gets backend CI on the day it appears. Both filters live in the root test:ci:* scripts and in the two backend jobs in .github/workflows/test-unit-reusable.yml.
