Coralite v0.38.5 Released

Thomas David - 23 June 26

Coralite v0.38.5 is now available. This release resolves styling and runtime loading issues for imperative-only components, aligns Playwright testing environments, and updates core workspace dependencies.

Previously, components rendered imperatively—such as those created dynamically via client-side APIs instead of being declared in the HTML template—could fail to receive layout styles or be omitted from the client-side component bundle manifest. This occurred because declarative, imperative, and plugin-injected component collections were tracked separately.

To resolve this, we refactored component dependency collection in renderer.js to consolidate all page components into a single deterministic set. This unified set is now used to:

• Populate the coralite-components style tag, ensuring that display: contents is correctly applied to imperative-only components.
• Filter the client manifest so that all required component bundles are properly included in the page runtime.

A regression test has been added in packages/coralite/tests/e2e/style-behavior.test.js to verify that imperative-only components reliably receive their layout styles.

This version updates several workspace-wide packages to their latest compatible versions to ensure stability, performance, and developer environment parity:

• Playwright & CI: Playwright has been updated to version 1.61.0 in packages/coralite/package.json, and the corresponding Docker image in the test-e2e.yml workflow has been upgraded to match, keeping testing behavior consistent between local environments and CI.
• Development Tooling: Upgraded core tools including typescript, eslint, esbuild, and lint-staged.
• Shared Utilities: Updated simple-git, commander, postcss, and sass.

To upgrade to the latest version, update your project dependencies:

  npm install coralite@0.38.5

  npm install coralite-scripts@0.38.5
