This commit introduces a large-scale structural refactor of the pkgmgr
codebase. All functionality has been moved from the previous flat
top-level layout into three clearly separated namespaces:
• pkgmgr.actions – high-level operations invoked by the CLI
• pkgmgr.core – pure logic, helpers, repository utilities,
versioning, git helpers, config IO, and
command resolution
• pkgmgr.cli – parser, dispatch, context, and command
handlers
Key improvements:
- Moved all “branch”, “release”, “changelog”, repo-management
actions, installer pipelines, and proxy execution logic into
pkgmgr.actions.<domain>.
- Reworked installer structure under
pkgmgr.actions.repository.install.installers
including OS-package installers, Nix, Python, and Makefile.
- Consolidated all low-level functionality under pkgmgr.core:
• git helpers → core/git
• config load/save → core/config
• repository helpers → core/repository
• versioning & semver → core/version
• command helpers (alias, resolve, run, ink) → core/command
- Replaced pkgmgr.cli_core with pkgmgr.cli and updated all imports.
- Added minimal __init__.py files for clean package exposure.
- Updated all E2E, integration, and unit tests with new module paths.
- Fixed patch targets so mocks point to the new structure.
- Ensured backward compatibility at the CLI boundary (pkgmgr entry point unchanged).
This refactor produces a cleaner, layered architecture:
- `core` = logic
- `actions` = orchestrated behaviour
- `cli` = user interface

- Added rich error reporting to install_repos() for clearer installer failure context
(repository identifier, repo directory, installer name, exit code).
- Updated E2E test 'install_all_shallow' to show additional diagnostics,
including Nix profile dumps and contextual SystemExit handling.
- Removed outdated/deactivated test file.
- New test now mirrors the robust debugging flow of the pkgmgr-only test.
