fix: detect broken qmd installs and surface actionable errors#6
Merged
Conversation
The qmd binary shim can exist on PATH while the actual module is missing (bun install -g from GitHub doesn't always run the build step). Previously this silently passed dependency checks then failed at collection creation with no useful error message. Now checkQmd() verifies qmd can actually execute, not just that the shim exists. When a broken install is detected: - printDepsReport shows fix instructions (cd <pkg> && bun run build) - installQmd auto-attempts the build step as recovery - createCollection returns the actual error reason for display Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
