Testing Sponsio Integration

These checks are useful when you opt into dotpack's Sponsio lifecycle task with --run-lifecycle.

Check the Binary

sponsio --version

If the binary is not on PATH, set DOTPACK_SPONSIO_BINARY to an absolute binary path before running dotpack lifecycle verification:

export DOTPACK_SPONSIO_BINARY=/path/to/sponsio

Check Sponsio Health

From the project root:

sponsio doctor
sponsio validate --config sponsio.yaml

If either command reports a failure, fix Sponsio before running dotpack with --run-lifecycle.

Check dotpack Lifecycle

Run a targeted install with lifecycle enabled:

CATALOG=/path/to/project/.agents

dotpack install "$CATALOG/hooks/bash-guard.hook.json" --kind hook --agent agents-cli --scope project --run-lifecycle

Without --run-lifecycle, dotpack intentionally skips Sponsio verification.
