Extension Compatibility Gates Turn MdWrk Publishing into a Clear Quality Signal

MdWrk sharpens extension compatibility checks, persistence flows, and publish gates, helping teams ship installable extensions with stronger confidence and cleaner runtime expectations.

Why this matters for extension teams

A governed extension platform works best when it communicates:

  • the host version it supports
  • the tests that protect installation and runtime
  • the UX where users manage extensions and settings

Example compatibility-focused workflow

npm run test -w @mdwrk/extension-runtime
npm run test -w @mdwrk/extension-manager
npm run validate:compatibility
