Dec 1, 20242024-12 monthly summary for vltpkg/vltpkg: Delivered a critical Project Root Resolution Bug Fix with .git backstop tests. Refactored root detection to prioritize vlt.json, using package.json and node_modules as fallbacks, and recognizing .git and vlt-workspaces.json as definitive stop points. Added regression tests to validate the last known good root and .git behavior. Result: more reliable multi-repo root detection, reducing CI failures and runtime errors in automation.
