A config section now keeps the objects its config file built. The engine does it with arktype's own clone option: before arktype transforms a value it clones it, and the config scope supplies a clone that rebuilds plain objects and arrays and nothing else.

What goes wrong today

A prisma.config.ts builds real objects at runtime. A target descriptor holds codec tables, a contract serializer that is a class instance, and a create function closing over module state:

export default definePrismaConfig({
  orm: ormConfig({ target: postgres, contract: './contract.prisma' }),
});

Resolving a path field or applying a default is a transformation. Before arktype applies one, it clones the whole input so the caller's objects are never written to. Its built-in clone rebuilds every object it reaches, keeping the prototype but not the instance. With engine 0.6.0 the ORM's commands therefore received lookalikes of the codec tables and the serializer, and prisma db init failed with Invalid typeParams for codec 'pg/text@1'. prisma/orm#30372 hit this in 270 integration tests.

What this does

arktype documents the clone as configurable per scope (see Configuration, "clone"). The config scope passes its own:

const configScope = scope(
  { path: type("string").pipe((value, ctx) => resolvePathValue(value, ctx.path)) },
  { clone: (original) => copyPlainParts(original, new Map()) },
);

copyPlainParts copies plain objects and arrays, which is where arktype writes a resolved path or an applied default. Everything else is returned as it is: a class instance, a Map, a Date, a function. So after validation:

value.target.serializer === postgres.serializer;  // true: the instance the file built
value.target.create === postgres.create;          // true
value.contract.output;                            // '/app/src/prisma/contract.json'

The descriptor object itself is a fresh plain object with the same members, so this in its methods still finds the codec tables and the serializer. A frozen section still works, because the copy is not frozen. A value that refers back to itself is copied once.

ADR 0005 gains one bullet recording this rule, and a new packages/cli-engine/AGENTS.md tells the next agent to read the arktype docs before building validation machinery, and records how arktype treats a config file's objects.

What goes away

The earlier commits on this branch fixed the same failure by walking arktype's compiled schema twice: once to copy the input only where the schema describes a shape, and once to put the config file's objects back wherever it did not. That took about 200 lines of code that depended on arktype's internal node layout, and it needed special cases for unions, tuples, pipes and index signatures. All of it is deleted, along with ConfigSchemaError. An index signature in a schema, which the walks had to refuse, now simply works.

Tests

tests/config-schema.test.ts checks that class instances and functions the file built reach the command unchanged inside a frozen section, while sibling paths and defaults resolve. It also checks that a plain object the schema describes is copied rather than written to, that a self-referencing object is copied once, and that an index signature resolves every value. The existing union, tuple, pipe, symbol-key and frozen-default tests still pass.

Suite Result
@prisma/cli-engine 957 passed
@prisma/cli 1009 passed
lint, typecheck, conformance, error reference pass

Verified against prisma/orm#30372 with this build: the integration tests that carried the failures pass, including db init and the ref-advancement end-to-end tests.

Version

0.6.0 reached the registry with #279, so this ships as 0.6.1 and the recorded engine-pin exceptions move with it.

Alternatives considered

  • clone: false. arktype would write resolved paths and defaults straight into the config file's objects, and a frozen section throws on the first write.
  • structuredClone. It throws on any function, and it rebuilds class instances as plain objects without their prototype.
  • Copying only along the schema's declared shape. This was the previous approach. It is correct, but it reimplements part of arktype by reading its compiled node tree.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

arktype rebuilds an object whenever a morph or a default applies anywhere
inside it, and the rebuild deep-clones every property, including values
the schema only checks by predicate. A control descriptor the config file
built is such a value: its create closes over module state, its codec
tables and contract serializer are class instances relying on this. The
clone arktype handed back was structurally equal and behaviourally broken:
prisma db init failed reading the contract marker with "unexpected
typeParams for non-parameterized codec" because a cloned codec descriptor
no longer dispatched through its prototype.

Validation now copies the input only along the structure the schema
declares, so arktype can assign defaults onto parents the config file
froze, and after validation puts the input's own value back at every path
the schema leaves opaque. A transformed value (a pipe, a resolved path)
keeps its output. A morph node's declared structure lives on its in side,
which the walk now follows.

Engine 0.6.0 is on the registry, so this ships as 0.6.1; the recorded
engine-pin exceptions move with it.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved configuration validation and default handling for nested, frozen, and self-referencing values.
    • Preserved class instances, functions, maps, symbols, methods, and object identity during configuration processing.
    • Improved handling of unions, tuples, arrays, pipes, and index signatures.
    • Prevented invalid configuration values from being written and improved related error handling.
  • Documentation

    • Documented how configuration values are copied while preserving non-plain objects and their behavior.

Walkthrough

Configuration schema validation now uses a clone function that copies plain objects and arrays while preserving non-plain values by reference. The clone handles cycles and symbol-keyed properties. New tests cover schema transformations, defaults, paths, frozen inputs, and several schema forms. CLI Engine package references and conformance exceptions were updated to version 0.6.1, and an ADR documents the cloning behavior.

Priority: ➖ Normal

…the value

Review follow-ups: a union is walked through the branch that accepts the
value (arktype's allows), so a value matching a later structural branch is
copied for defaults and restored correctly; a tuple is walked by position
through sequence.prefix, a list through sequence.element; own symbol keys a
morph adds survive the restore (Reflect.ownKeys); and an index signature on
declared structure is refused with a diagnostic naming the alternative,
rather than silently walked.

Both threads addressed in fad8359 and confirmed resolved by the reviewer.

… words

The names were invented vocabulary: StructureLike, NodeLike, and "opaque"
for a value the schema checks without describing what is inside it. They
are now SchemaShape, SchemaNode, copyWhereDescribed and
putBackOriginalValues, and the comments say the thing rather than a coined
label for it.

Four defects found while renaming:

- An index signature in a schema is its author's bug, but the throw was
  caught with everything else and reported as a broken config file, telling
  the user to edit a file that is fine. It is now a ConfigSchemaError the
  catch re-throws.
- The error branch after the restore walk was unreachable: the walk returns
  values, never ArkErrors. Removed.
- Optional and postfix tuple positions resolved to the variadic element
  node, so a trailing declared position was walked against the wrong node.
  Positions now count from both ends.
- A union no alternative matched left a frozen value uncopied, so applying
  a default threw a read-only write that surfaced as an unreadable section
  instead of a field error. Such a value is now copied one level.

The restore walk also resolved the applicable node twice per value.

Comment thread packages/cli-engine/src/config-schema.ts Outdated
The restore walk looked through a transforming node to the shape it
accepts, so it descended into what a pipe produced and put the input back
inside it. A schema like configSchema({ source: checkedOnly }).pipe(() =>
({ source: other })) lost the pipe's source.

Whether a value was rebuilt by arktype or replaced by a pipe is not
visible on the compiled node: an object literal with defaults plus a
narrow compiles exactly like an object literal with a pipe. So the walk
now asks the values instead. A rebuild carries the same own keys as the
input, and only then is the input put back; a replacement is a different
object and is kept.

The structured-morph thread is fixed in c37f9c3 and confirmed resolved by the reviewer; the remaining same-key parent-pipe case is named in the code comment and the thread.

…gh arktype's clone option

Resolving a path or applying a default transforms the value, and arktype
clones what it is given before it transforms it, so a config file's own
objects are never written to. Its built-in clone rebuilds every object it
reaches. A section's control descriptors cannot survive that: a codec
table, a contract serializer, a create() that needs its own `this` all
come back as lookalikes, and the family's commands fail on them.

The previous commits worked around the built-in clone by copying the
input along the shape the schema describes and putting the config file's
objects back afterwards, walking arktype's compiled node tree twice. arktype
has a documented option for exactly this: a scope can supply its own
clone. The config scope now supplies one that rebuilds plain objects and
arrays and nothing else, so a class instance, a Map or a function reaches
the command exactly as the file constructed it, while arktype still has
somewhere to write a resolved path or an applied default. The two walks,
the node-shape types, and ConfigSchemaError are gone, and index
signatures now work instead of being refused.

A package AGENTS.md now tells the next agent to read the arktype docs

to read the compiled node tree, and records what the config schemas rely
on: any morph clones the whole input, the default clone rebuilds plain
objects and class instances, the scope's clone keeps what the config file
constructed, relative path defaults must be thunks, ctx.path in a morph,
and that a path given inside a narrow is taken from the root.

…ngine resolves its paths (prisma#30372)

## At a glance

The `orm` section of `prisma.config.ts` is declared once, with the
fields that are paths marked as such:

```ts
// packages/1-framework/3-tooling/config-loader/src/orm-section.ts
export const ormConfigSchema = configSchema({
  family: { kind: "'family'", ...descriptorFields, emission: 'object' },
  target: { kind: "'target'", ...targetLikeFields },
  adapter: { kind: "'adapter'", ...targetLikeFields },
  'driver?': { kind: "'driver'", ...targetLikeFields },
  'extensions?': [{ kind: "'extension'", ...targetLikeFields }, '[]'],
  'db?': { 'connection?': 'unknown' },
  'contract?': {
    source: { load: 'Function', 'inputs?': 'path[]', 'format?': 'string' },
    output: ['path', '=', () => 'src/prisma/contract.json'],
  },
  migrations: [{ dir: ['path', '=', () => './migrations'] }, '=', () => ({})],
  'formatter?': { 'indent?': "number.integer >= 1 | 'tab'", 'newline?': "'LF' | 'CRLF'" },
}).narrow(/* familyId and targetId agreement across descriptors */);
```

Given this project and this invocation:

```
exp/
  sub/
    prisma.config.ts   # orm: ormConfig({ contract: './contract.prisma', migrations: { dir: './migrations' } })
    contract.prisma
```

| Run from | Command | Before | After |
| --------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
-------------------------------------------------------------- |
------------------------------ |
| `exp/sub` | `prisma contract emit --config ./prisma.config.ts` |
writes `exp/sub/contract.json` | same |
| `exp` | `prisma contract emit --config ./sub/prisma.config.ts` |
`CONTRACT.SOURCE_LOAD_FAILED`: looks for `exp/contract.prisma` | writes
`exp/sub/contract.json` |

Config files are unchanged.

## The decision

A relative path in `prisma.config.ts` is relative to the file that wrote
it. Only the ORM knows which of its fields are paths; only the CLI
engine knows which file wrote each value, because its chain merge
records that per key. The schema declaration puts the first where the
second can use it. The engine derives validation, a
`CLI.CONFIG_FIELD_INVALID` diagnostic per bad field naming the file to
fix, and the resolution of every `path` field, from the one declaration;
the ORM writes no validation, resolution, or path-anchoring code. This
is [prisma/prisma-cli ADR
0005](https://github.com/prisma/prisma-cli/blob/main/docs/architecture/adrs/0005-config-sections-declare-their-shape.md),
shipped in engine 0.6.0 by prisma/prisma-cli#279; every product that
mounts commands declares its section this way.

## Why it broke

The ORM's own `prisma` bin resolved config paths in its loader against
the config file. The unified `prisma` CLI loads the config through the
engine's loader, which handed the `orm` section over as written; the
ORM's command wrapper then resolved paths itself, and the only directory
it could see was the working directory. The same defect existed a second
time in `projectConfigPathFor`, which rebuilt `<cwd>/prisma.config.ts`
to find the project's `package.json` and, from a parent directory, read
the wrong manifest.

## What changes

- **`@internal/config-loader`** declares `ormConfigSchema` and
`ormConfigSection` (`defineConfigSection({ name: 'orm', schema })`). It
is the lowest package that can depend on the engine; `@internal/cli` and
`@internal/cli-telemetry` consume the section from it. Path defaults are
thunks, which arktype evaluates when the default is applied, so they
resolve against the config file like authored values.
- **Descriptors are declared references.** A control descriptor is a
runtime object the config file constructs: `create` closes over module
state, and its codec tables, contract serializer and migration hooks
rely on their prototypes and on `this`. The schema declares each
descriptor, and `db.connection`, with the engine's `reference(schema)`
(prisma/prisma-cli#284), so the command receives the object the config
file built. The schema checks only a descriptor's identifying fields:
`kind`, `id`, `familyId`, `version`, `create`, and `targetId` or
`emission`. Every value not declared a reference is copied before paths
are resolved and defaults applied. Cross-descriptor rules (`familyId`
and `targetId` agreement, the removed `extensionPacks` key) are one
function, which the schema's `narrow` and the loader both call.
- **A codec without params has no `paramsSchema`.** A codec that took no
params used to declare `paramsSchema = voidParamsSchema`, a shared
schema accepting only `undefined`, and `isParameterized` asked whether a
descriptor's schema was that exact object. A copied descriptor carries a
copy of that schema, so every codec on it reported itself parameterized,
which is how `db init` failed with `Invalid typeParams for codec
'pg/text@1'`. `paramsSchema` is now `StandardSchemaV1<P> | undefined`, a
codec without params sets it to `undefined`, and `isParameterized` is
`paramsSchema !== undefined`, which no copy can change. Type-param
validation still rejects `typeParams` for such a codec with
`RUNTIME.TYPE_PARAMS_INVALID`. `voidParamsSchema` is removed;
[`upgrade-instructions/pending/codec-without-params-schema/extension/`](https://github.com/prisma/orm/blob/feat/orm-config-schema/upgrade-instructions/pending/codec-without-params-schema/extension/instructions.md)
tells extension authors how to follow.
- **The ORM's bin** hands the engine each evaluated file with its
sections as written (`loadConfigFiles`); the engine validates the merged
section with that provenance before a command runs. `loadConfig` runs
the same schema for the language server and the vite plugin, wrapping
each field diagnostic as `CONFIG.VALIDATION_FAILED` with the subsection
it concerns, so `requireConfigSections` keeps working.
- **Commands** read absolute paths and `baseDir`. The command wrapper's
cwd finalisation, `finalize-config.ts`, `collectConfigIssues` and its
hand-written descriptor checks, and `projectConfigPathFor` are deleted.
The migration path helpers take only the config. Control API operations
that located the project through `configPath` take `projectDir`;
`resolveMigrationPaths` takes the config.
- **`@prisma/cli-engine` moves to 0.6.1** (0.6.0 plus
prisma/prisma-cli#280 and #284: a schema declares the values it keeps as
references) in `@internal/cli`, `@internal/config-loader`,
`@prisma/orm-toolchain`'s peer, the four extension packages, and the
integration test package. The `defineConfig` → `definePrismaConfig`
rename the bump requires landed separately in prisma#30129. Examples and
fixture apps consume published packages and keep their pins.
- **Diagnostics under the unified CLI change code.** A malformed `orm`
field is now reported by the engine as `CLI.CONFIG_FIELD_INVALID` (one
per field, `meta.section: 'orm'`, `meta.field` the dotted path,
`where.path` the config file that declared it) under
`CLI.CONFIG_SECTION_INVALID`. `CONFIG.VALIDATION_FAILED` remains what
the ORM's own loader raises for the language server and the vite plugin.
The error reference records the split; the two integration files that
asserted the old code are updated.
- **Docs**: `config-validation-and-normalization.mdc` now describes the
schema as the single home of structural rules,
`loadConfigFiles`/`loadConfig` as evaluation plus diagnostics, and path
resolution as the schema's job; the CLI Style Guide says relative paths
in the config file resolve against the file that wrote them, with
`--output-path` the one path relative to cwd; the loader README follows.
The arktype rule now says to read the arktype docs before building
validation machinery and never to read arktype's compiled node tree, and
`docs/reference/arktype-usage.md` records what a transformation does to
its input: any pipe or default makes arktype clone the whole input, and
the default clone rebuilds plain objects and class instances. The codec
authoring guide, the two codec ADRs and the package READMEs declare
codecs without params with `paramsSchema = undefined`.

## Tests

- `framework-components/test/materialize-codec.test.ts`: a descriptor
copied the way arktype's default clone copies it keeps `isParameterized`
for codecs with and without params (this test fails before the change),
and a codec without params rejects `typeParams`.
- `config-loader/test/orm-section.test.ts`: the schema accepts a valid
config, supplies the migrations dir and default contract output, records
`baseDir`, resolves inputs, output and migrations dir against the config
file, leaves absolute paths alone, keeps a descriptor's class instances
and functions, and the source's `load`, as the file built them
(closures, prototypes and `this` survive), reports missing descriptors
and descriptor field problems, family and target mismatches on target,
adapter, driver and extensions, the removed `extensionPacks` key,
contract, migrations and formatter problems, keeps fields the schema
does not name on descriptors and on the contract source, and never
throws on hostile input. `load.test.ts` still passes unchanged apart
from the finalise module going away.
- `@internal/cli`: `contract emit` and `migration plan` reached with
`--config sub/prisma.config.ts` from the parent read and write under
`sub/`, the plan test exercising the manifest walk from `baseDir`; the
bin loader hands the engine the requested file with paths as written;
ORM command tests seed the engine with a `prisma.config.ts` in the run
directory through one shared helper so the engine validates the seed as
it would a real file.

CI on this PR is red until `@prisma/cli-engine@0.6.1` is published and
the pin here moves to it; the earlier red run (270 integration failures)
was arktype's default clone rebuilding descriptors, which 0.6.1 fixes.
Verified locally with a 0.6.1 build: `config-loader` (53), the CLI
package (1484), and the config-related integration files (200) pass.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
* Configuration diagnostics now identify the affected field, section,
and config file.
* Relative paths in config files—including extended configs—resolve from
the file that declares them. Command-line output paths remain relative
to the working directory.
* Config loading retains details about each file in an extended
configuration chain.

* **Bug Fixes**
* Malformed configuration sections receive more specific diagnostics,
while commands can proceed when errors affect sections they do not read.

* **Breaking Changes**
* Legacy configuration-validation exports and config-path operation
options are no longer available.
* `voidParamsSchema` is no longer exported. Codecs without parameters
should set `paramsSchema` to `undefined`; non-empty type parameters are
rejected, while empty parameters are accepted.
