220 — A delivered bundle keeps the files of the one before

What was observed

2026-10-04. A tools bundle was rebuilt as one self-contained file per entrypoint (ADR 0193), so it no longer carries a package directory. On the machine it was delivered to, its directory still held the package directory and a compiled file from the earlier delivery, dated hours before the new files. The new files were written over the old directory, and nothing removed what the new bundle no longer contains.

Why it matters beyond this instance

A bundle on disk should be exactly the artifact that was built. Leftover files can be imported by code that should no longer find them. A fix that removes a file then works on a fresh machine and fails on every machine that ran an earlier version. It also makes "what runs here" impossible to read from the artifact.

Where to look

How the host unpacks a bundle into its directory. How it is checked: deliver a bundle, then a version without one of its files, and the file is gone.
