The **Ultimate** web framework. Bun-only, Postgres, SolidJS, SCSS tokens. A monorepo of 29 `@ultimat3/*` packages — the `x` CLI among them — plus the unscoped `create-ultimate`. All 30 publish to npm at **3.0.0** in lockstep, `As of 2026-08-19`. Run `bun run scripts/list-workspaces.ts` rather than trusting this line; `scripts/release-facts.ts` now fails the gate when it drifts.

Do not claim that every package publishes to npm.

@ultimat3/flags has never been published. The statement that all 30 packages publish in lockstep is false. Remove it or replace it with a registry-verified statement. scripts/release-facts.ts only validates workspace facts.

Based on learnings, @ultimat3/flags has never been published to npm.

In `@AGENTS.md` at line 7, Update the repository overview in AGENTS.md to remove
the claim that all 30 packages publish to npm in lockstep, and replace it with
an accurate registry-verified statement if needed. Keep the workspace-count
information separate from publication-status claims; do not imply that
scripts/release-facts.ts verifies npm publication.

No ORM dependency, `As of 2026-08`: `entity()` is the one table declaration, and `postgresDriver()` (`packages/entity/src/pg-driver.ts`, `pg-sql.ts`) is hand-written parameterised SQL. Generated apps declare their tables the same way — `packages/db/` holds those declarations plus plain-SQL migrations.

### Removed — BREAKING (sixth sweep: the known-gaps backlog)

- **BREAKING — `CaptureOptions.timeoutMs` and the public `CaptureRequest.timeout` are deleted from
`@ultimat3/scraping`** (#211). The port required it, `page-over-target.ts` threaded it, and **no
driver honoured it** — `cdp-target.ts` reads only `fullPage`, its `pdf` names the parameter
`_options`, and `html-target.ts` ignores it. Deleted rather than honoured for a reason worth
recording: the CDP port's own `screenshot({ fullPage })` has no timeout slot to forward to, and a
generic deadline in `page-over-target.ts` would have to race `ScrapeClock.sleep` — which under
`testClock` advances the clock and resolves on the first microtask, so the deadline would win
every race and **every capture in every test would time out**. A knob no driver honoured takes
nothing away when it goes; a deadline that fires in tests and not in production would. Both
layers went, because leaving the public `CaptureRequest.timeout` behind would make it the new lie.
- **BREAKING — `ScrapeTarget.click`'s `index` parameter is deleted** (#212). The HTML driver
honoured it and the CDP driver dropped it, and they agreed only because the sole caller passed
`0`. The decisive fact: **`index` was unreachable from the public vocabulary** — `ScrapeFrame.click`
takes `(selector, options?: WaitOptions)` and has no index, so no app could set it. A port member
no caller can reach, honoured by one driver and dropped by the other, is a divergence waiting for
an app to find. A three-driver parity test over a multi-match fixture now covers it.
- **BREAKING — `adminResource` no longer pluralises an entity name.** `@ultimat3/admin` carried a
private English pluralizer, and **every entity in both tracked apps is already named plural** —
so `entity('orgs')` was served at `/admin/orgses`, with `/admin/medias` and `/admin/likeses`
queued behind it. The fix is a deletion rather than a better pluralizer: which plural a name
takes is an app's convention, not a mechanism the framework can own (axiom 8), and `path:` was
always the override. Migration: an app relying on the old doubled URL sets `path:` explicitly.

### Added (sixth sweep)

- **`X_SCRAPE_YIELD_HISTORY_MISSING`** (#154) — `expect.maxDrop` measures a fall against a trailing
baseline, and with no `history:` store `expect.ts` reads `[]` forever, so `X_SCRAPE_YIELD_COLLAPSED`
could never fire. A silent no-op in a scrape *expectation* is a scrape that cannot fail. Refused
at declaration time, where it is written, before any attempt exists. `expect.minRows` is an
absolute floor checked *before* the history gate and stays legal on its own.
- **`StorageDriver.verifySigned` and `X_STORAGE_URL_UNVERIFIABLE`** (#145) — `acceptSignedUpload`
required a `secret:` that no route could supply, because the signing secret was closed over inside
`localDriver`'s factory. `StorageDriver` already hoisted `signedUrlBase` so "the minting half and
the verifying half cannot state it twice"; the secret was the other half of that pair and was
never hoisted. The new member exposes **verification, never the key** — a member returning the
secret would let any holder of a driver mint a URL for any key, and would put it in every
`JSON.stringify(disk)` a log performs. `acceptSignedUpload` now works with no secret in the call.
The `PUT` route is still unmounted; the seam that blocked it is not.

spends its budget on the feature, and on a floor whose failure modes were found once, here, rather
than once per app.

**Roughly 9× — that is the multiplier.** For every line of production code the author of
[`dummy/social-media-clone`](dummy/social-media-clone/) owns, the framework already runs **8.8** on
their behalf: 63,949 code lines across the 17 packages that app executes, against 7,227 of its own.
Counting everything hand-written including tests, against all framework source, it is **11.1 : 1**.

Read that as *code you never own, never test and never fix* — **not** as "a DIY build of this app
would be nine times bigger". It would not be: a DIY build reaches for libraries too. What the
multiplier measures is how much of the surface has already been decided, and where a bug gets fixed
when one is found. The honest per-feature figure is sharper anyway: **~16 code lines buy a fully
projected endpoint** — input schema, output schema, policy, an OpenAPI operation, an MCP tool and a
typed client, all drift-checked. Write those six by hand once and the ratio stops being abstract.

**A line the app author never writes cannot carry a bug.** So the payoff is measured as how little
the author owns. The worked example is [`dummy/social-media-clone`](dummy/social-media-clone/) — the

it by a fifth. Where a raw number appears it is labelled raw.

The package count is a load-bearing repository fact. Add the required As of YYYY-MM date to this table cell so readers can assess its freshness.

As per coding guidelines, documentation must “date load-bearing claims with As of 2026-07.”
