packages/coding-agent/package.json has no valid version

Error message

packages/coding-agent/package.json has no valid version

What it means

prepareAgentBinaries reads `packages/coding-agent/package.json` to learn the agent version used for binary naming and caching, and throws this error when the parsed manifest has no non-empty string `version` field. It treats a missing/invalid version as fatal because binaries are cached under `omp-linux-<arch>-<version>` and cross natives are fetched at that version.

Solutions

1. Ensure `packages/coding-agent/package.json` contains a valid non-empty `"version"` string
2. Verify CODING_AGENT_DIR points at the real packages/coding-agent directory
3. Restore the file if corrupted: `git checkout -- packages/coding-agent/package.json`
4. Validate the JSON parses (`bun -e 'await Bun.file(...).json()'`) if the file looks wrong

Example fix

// before
{ "name": "@oh-my-pi/coding-agent" } // no version → throws
// after
{ "name": "@oh-my-pi/coding-agent", "version": "1.2.3" }

const manifest = await Bun.file(path.join(CODING_AGENT_DIR, "package.json")).json();
if (typeof manifest.version !== "string" || manifest.version.length === 0) {
  throw new Error("coding-agent package.json is missing a valid version");
}

function hasVersion(m: unknown): m is { version: string } {
  return typeof m === "object" && m !== null &&
    typeof (m as { version?: unknown }).version === "string" &&
    (m as { version: string }).version.length > 0;
}

let manifest: { version?: unknown };
try {
  manifest = await Bun.file(path.join(CODING_AGENT_DIR, "package.json")).json();
} catch (err) {
  throw new Error(`cannot read coding-agent package.json: ${err}`);
}
if (!hasVersion(manifest)) throw new Error("coding-agent package.json has no valid version");

When it happens

Trigger: Calling `prepareAgentBinaries` (or the `binaries` entrypoint) when the coding-agent package.json is missing its version, has `version: ""`, or the file is malformed/unparseable so `manifest.version` is undefined.

Common situations: Running from a workspace where the package was stripped or renamed; a generated/hand-edited package.json missing the version field; pointing CODING_AGENT_DIR at the wrong directory; corrupted checkout.
