monostack.config.json

Each derived app has a monostack.config.json at its root that tracks the relationship to its parent app.

Schema

{
  "parentCommit": "abc123...",
  "parentApp": "boiler"
}

Fields

Field	Description
parentCommit	SHA of the last synced commit from the parent app. Used by update and migrate to determine which changes are new.
parentApp	Name of the parent app (default: "boiler"). Determines which app directory to diff against.

Behavior

• update and migrate read parentCommit to find new commits, then update it after applying (unless --no-update is passed).
• scaffold app creates this file automatically with the initial commit and parent name.
