Railway

Recently shipped railway postgres management commands, Railpack's Debian 13 base image migration, and a pnpm provisioning overhaul.

Postgres management moved into the CLI. New railway postgres subcommands handle point-in-time recovery, high-availability cluster management, and PgBouncer connection pooling, with a persistent ops trail and upgrade guidance. HA revert now waits for the reverted config to apply and sweeps the PgBouncer pooler.

Railpack moved to Debian 13 base images. New builds run Debian 13 (Trixie) with GCC 14 native compilation, making incompatible pointer types errors; custom Apt lists and pinned base images may need updating for new package names. Builder images include libicu-dev for .NET restore and native dependencies.

Railpack reworked Node build defaults. npm projects install with npm install by default; opt into deterministic installs with RAILPACK_NODE_NPM_INSTALL="npm ci". The default Node version is now lts — pin via RAILPACK_NODE_VERSION, engines.node, or a version file. package-lock.json presence auto-detects npm, TanStack Start apps are treated as Node servers, SvelteKit adapter-auto projects run a Node server automatically, and Playwright browser installation is opt-in via RAILPACK_NODE_PLAYWRIGHT_INSTALL and RAILPACK_PYTHON_PLAYWRIGHT_INSTALL.

pnpm provisioning switched from Corepack to Mise. devEngines.packageManager in package.json now takes precedence over engines, .nvmrc, and lockfiles for Node.js and pnpm resolution, and pnpm idiomatic version files are supported. RAILPACK_DISABLE_CACHES must now be passed explicitly via --env.

CLI polish. The coding agent TUI gained a thread-first sidebar with live status labels, a settings toggle to hide header tabs, and Linux clipboard support. IaC pull, missing-SDK errors, and monorepo migrate were improved, and the example workflow was removed in favor of railwayapp/config guidance.
