# X_SCAFFOLD_OVERRIDES_EMPTY

## Means

no `@ultimat3/*` workspace manifests were found, so the smoke app would install from the npm registry

## Typical cause

`scripts/scaffold-smoke-overrides.ts` run outside the repo root, or against a tree with no `packages/` — writing `{}` would silently test the *published* packages instead of the working tree, which is the one thing the scaffold smoke job exists to avoid

## Fix

`bun run scripts/scaffold-smoke-overrides.ts ./smoke-app --json` from the repo root
