When the manifest path is omitted, Weld auto-discovers one by checking build_support/weld.exs, then build_support/weld_contract.exs, then a single packaging/weld/*.exs.

Inspect

mix weld.inspect [manifest_path] [--artifact name] [--format json]

Shows manifest metadata, discovery source, project classifications, selected closure, excluded projects, and current violations.

Graph

mix weld.graph [manifest_path] [--artifact name] [--format json|dot]

Renders the workspace graph as human-readable edges, JSON, or DOT.

Query

mix weld.query deps [manifest_path] <project_id> [--artifact name]
mix weld.query why [manifest_path] <from_project> <to_project> [--artifact name]

deps lists direct outgoing internal and external dependencies for a project. why shows one explanatory path through the selected package view.

Affected

mix weld.affected [manifest_path] --task verify.all --base main --head HEAD [--artifact name]

Computes affected selected projects from a Git diff range plus reverse dependency traversal.

Project

mix weld.project [manifest_path] [--artifact name]

Generates the welded artifact. Package-projection mode writes to dist/hex/<package>/; monolith mode writes to dist/monolith/<package>/.

Verify

mix weld.verify [manifest_path] [--artifact name]

Runs package-level verification against the generated artifact.

Release Prepare

mix weld.release.prepare [manifest_path] [--artifact name]
mix release.prepare [manifest_path] [--artifact name]

Generates, verifies, and bundles the welded artifact. The prepared bundle always contains the projected project tree and metadata, and it also contains the tarball when verify.hex_build is enabled.

Release Track

mix weld.release.track [manifest_path] [--artifact name] [--branch name] [--remote origin] [--tag tag] [--push]
mix release.track [manifest_path] [--artifact name] [--branch name] [--remote origin] [--tag tag] [--push]

Tracks the prepared bundle on a projection branch. Defaults to projection/<package_name> and creates the first branch as an orphan by default.

Release Archive

mix weld.release.archive [manifest_path] [--artifact name]
mix release.archive [manifest_path] [--artifact name]

Copies the prepared bundle into the archive surface after publish succeeds. Internal-only artifacts can archive bundles even when the bundle does not contain a tarball.
