Summary

  • Strips bundleName: \"org.xerial.sqlite-jdbc\" from the SQLite datasource block emitted by wheels new into a fresh app's config/app.cfm.
  • Updates the docstring on configureSQLiteDatabase to reflect the new (classpath) loading path.

Why

A fresh-VM tutorial onboarding run (macOS arm64, only Homebrew + Claude Code pre-installed) found that the very first migration after wheels new silently no-ops — the database file stays at 0 bytes and wheels migrate latest exits 0. The server log reveals the real failure:

```
java.io.IOException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: invalid version "3.9.0.GA copy":
invalid qualifier "GA copy"
...at lucee.runtime.config.s3.BundleProvider.read(BundleProvider.java:520)

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal character in query at index 67:
https://bundle-download.s3.amazonaws.com/?marker=javassist-3.9.0.GA copy.jar
```

Lucee 7's BundleProvider is being invoked because of the bundleName hint in the generated datasource. It tries to enumerate the upstream S3 bucket and dies on a malformed listing entry (javassist-3.9.0.GA copy.jar — looks like a Mac-Finder "copy" duplicate uploaded to the bucket). The space + " copy" suffix is both an illegal URI character and an invalid OSGi version qualifier, so the entire bundle resolution path crashes and the SQLite driver never loads.

Without the hint, Lucee falls through to the standard classpath resolution, which resolves org.sqlite.JDBC normally — provided the JAR is shipped on the lib path. Companion changes to bundle sqlite-jdbc directly in wheels-dev/homebrew-wheels and wheels-dev/chocolatey-wheels will follow at the next release cut.

Out of scope

  • cli/src/ (the legacy CommandBox surface) still emits the same bundleName hint at commands/wheels/db/create.cfc:974 and models/EnvironmentService.cfc:1009. Worth a follow-up if that distribution is still being shipped, but not addressed here.
  • Upstream Lucee BundleProvider should not crash on a malformed S3 listing entry — courtesy bug report to be filed separately.

Test plan

  • Run wheels new blogtest on a clean machine, inspect generated config/app.cfm — confirm no bundleName line appears in either datasource block.
  • Run wheels migrate latest after creating a sample migration — confirm tables are actually created (verify with sqlite3 db/development.sqlite \".schema\").
  • CI: confirm the existing test matrix still passes (no tests touch configureSQLiteDatabase, but the broader suite needs to be green).

`wheels new` was emitting `bundleName: "org.xerial.sqlite-jdbc"` into
the generated config/app.cfm, which routes Lucee 7's datasource
resolver through BundleProvider. That code path currently fails on
all platforms because the upstream S3 listing at
bundle-download.s3.amazonaws.com contains a malformed entry
(`javassist-3.9.0.GA copy.jar`) whose space + " copy" suffix is both
an illegal URI character and an invalid OSGi version qualifier. The
listing parse throws, bundle resolution dies, and the SQLite driver
never loads — leaving fresh `wheels new` apps with a 0-byte database
and a `wheels migrate latest` that silently no-ops.

Removing the bundleName hint lets Lucee fall through to the standard
classpath, which resolves org.sqlite.JDBC normally as long as
sqlite-jdbc is on the lib path. Companion changes to bundle the JAR
in homebrew-wheels and chocolatey-wheels will follow.

Reported by a fresh-VM tutorial onboarding run on macOS arm64.

Note: cli/src/ (legacy CommandBox surface) still emits the same
bundleName hint and will need a matching change if that distribution
is still being shipped.

Lucee 7's BundleProvider crashes when resolving sqlite-jdbc via the
bundleName hint (malformed entry in upstream S3 bundle listing), so
wheels-dev/wheels#2304 dropped the hint from the datasource emitted by
`wheels new`. Without the hint Lucee falls back to classpath resolution,
which requires the JAR to be on the Lucee lib path.

This formula now:
- Adds a `sqlite_jdbc` resource (3.49.1.0 from Maven Central, sha256
  pinned) and stages it into share/wheels/lib/.
- Drops the JAR into ~/.wheels/express/<lucee>/lib/ext/ on every run
  via the wrapper, idempotent — copies only if missing. The express
  directory only exists after the first LuCLI extraction, so the copy
  is a no-op on the first invocation and self-heals from the second
  invocation onward (which is fine — `wheels new` doesn't touch the
  database; `wheels migrate latest` does).
- Adds a brew-test assertion that the JAR is staged into the Cellar.

Local harness that simulates the brand-new-user onboarding flow without
touching the user's daily wheels install. Uses LUCLI_HOME isolation so
an isolated copy of the worktree's cli/lucli/ is exercised, with the
worktree's vendor/wheels/ as WHEELS_FRAMEWORK_PATH.

Phases (mirrors fresh-VM journal format for direct comparison):

- Phase 1: Setup isolated LUCLI_HOME (worktree mount, framework path,
  Lucee Express symlink to avoid the 74MB re-download)
- Phase 2: wheels new (assertions for F3 dup create lines, F4 file
  tree shape, F1 no bundleName in generated config/app.cfm)
- Phase 3: server boot via 'lucli server run' + sqlite-jdbc shim
- Phase 4: migration cliff (F2/F5 false-success — verifies the actual
  sqlite db has the migrated tables, not just exit 0)
- Phase 5: seed (cfscript wrapper + idempotency)
- Phase 6: CRUD walkthrough through chapters 2-3
- Phase 7: wheels packages list (F7 — currently SKIP pending a
  separate fix; reports the bug signature when it reproduces)

Closes the iteration loop: instead of fix → push → fresh-VM test
(30+ min/round), we can now fix → run harness (~90s) and only burn a
fresh VM as the final confidence check.

Modes:
- bash tools/test-onboarding.sh           # symlink mount (default)
- MODE=copy bash tools/test-onboarding.sh # copy (closer to brew install)
- BASELINE=1 bash tools/test-onboarding.sh # use brew-installed wheels
- KEEP_TEMP=1 bash tools/test-onboarding.sh # preserve temp dirs
- FROM_PHASE=4 bash tools/test-onboarding.sh # skip earlier phases

JAVA_HOME is auto-resolved (via /usr/libexec/java_home or brew-prefix
fallback for keg-only openjdk@21). LUCLI_HOME ends in '.lucli' so
LuCLI's getComponentPath() picks the absolute-file-path mode for
Module.cfc loading.

Without this harness we'd have shipped PR #2304 + #2306 + the formula
updates, watched the next VM run still fail at migrate (the
migrateToLatest bug surfaced in PR #2307 was masked by the silent
exit-0), and needed a third VM iteration to find it.

* feat(cli): add Wheels SQLite Lucee extension (.lex) for fresh-VM bundle gap

Build, install, and ship a Lucee CFML extension that packages the xerial
sqlite-jdbc OSGi bundle so Lucee 7 can resolve `org.sqlite.JDBC` for
`wheels new` SQLite-by-default datasources without manual JAR drops.

This addresses fresh-VM onboarding finding F8 — the SQLite class-load
cliff that blocks every fresh `wheels migrate latest` because Lucee 7
ships drivers for MySQL/MSSQL/PostgreSQL/HSQLDB but not SQLite.

What's in tools/lucee-extensions/sqlite/:

- src/build.properties + src/SQLite.cfc + src/sqlite-jdbc-3.49.1.0.jar
  (vendored from Maven Central) — extension source.
- build.sh produces dist/org.xerial.sqlite-jdbc-3.49.1.0.lex (~14 MB).
  Mirrors the layout/manifest of lucee/extension-jdbc-postgresql and
  lucee/extension-jdbc-duckdb but uses bash+zip instead of Ant.
- install.sh drops the patched bundle straight into a Lucee server's
  lucee-server/bundles/ directory — deterministic on Lucee 7 and the
  recommended path until the deploy/ auto-install quirk is solved.
- README documents three install paths (bundle/.lex/admin UI), the
  upstream upgrade plan, and the OSGi manifest patch.

The non-obvious fix: xerial's JAR is a valid OSGi bundle, but it
declares `Require-Capability: osgi.ee;version=1.8` (exact match in some
resolvers). Felix on Java 21 cannot satisfy that, so the bundle is
silently rejected. build.sh patches the JAR's MANIFEST.MF to
`(version>=1.8)` (matching PostgreSQL's filter) and drops the
`;singleton:=true` directive on Bundle-SymbolicName. Original JAR in
src/ is untouched — the patch is applied during build.

Verified end-to-end on macOS arm64 + Lucee 7.0.0.395:

  BEFORE install.sh: dbtest -> FAIL "org.xerial.sqlite-jdbc not available locally"
  AFTER  install.sh: dbtest -> OK datasource=sqliteapp result=1
  AFTER  install.sh: wheels migrate latest creates tables in db/development.sqlite

Follow-ups (separate PRs):
1. Wire `wheels new` (or first `wheels start`) to auto-run install.sh
   against the freshly-created server so SQLite-by-default works
   zero-config on fresh VMs.
2. Debug Lucee 7's deploy/ -> failed-to-deploy/ silent quarantine so
   the canonical deploy/ install path works without falling back to
   the bundle drop.
3. File upstream PR as lucee/extension-jdbc-sqlite once stable so the
   Lucee community gets it via the standard update server, and a
   separate issue with xerial/sqlite-jdbc to relax their OSGi
   Require-Capability filter.

* fix(cli): close 0.0.0-dev version display gap on installed Wheels apps

Two compounding bugs caused the dev toolbar / /wheels/info to report
"Wheels Version: 0.0.0-dev" on installed (brew/chocolatey) apps even
though every release artifact already carries the precise SNAPSHOT
build version. Both are fixed here.

## Bug 1 — wheels-module tarball never substitutes module.json

release.yml's "Build Wheels Module Tarball" step tars cli/lucli/
directly with no version substitution, while wheels-core/wheels-base
(which run through prepare-*.sh) get @build.version@ properly replaced.
As a result every wheels-module-*.tar.gz on the GitHub releases page
ships with module.json's hardcoded "version": "4.0.0" — even though
the tag itself is "v4.0.0-SNAPSHOT+1625".

That hardcoded value is then read by BaseModule.version() at runtime
and fed into FrameworkInstaller.rewriteVersionPlaceholder as the
cliVersion fallback (added in #2343 / #2333), so on installs whose
vendor/wheels/box.json went through that fallback path, the framework
"version" is the imprecise "4.0.0" instead of the build's
"4.0.0-SNAPSHOT+1625".

Fix: change cli/lucli/module.json to use "version": "@build.version@"
(matching every other manifest in the repo), and add the same find +
sed substitution release.yml's other build steps already do, in the
"Build Wheels Module Tarball" step before tar/zip. Uses an env: block
to satisfy our workflow injection lint and avoids inlining the version
into shell commands.

## Bug 2 — runtime fallback only recognizes the monorepo's box.json

When vendor/wheels/box.json's @build.version@ leaks through scaffold-
time substitution (e.g. user's CLI is pre-#2343, or any other gap in
the install pipeline), Global.cfc:$readFrameworkVersion's fallback
walks two levels up looking for the wheels-dev/wheels monorepo's
box.json — and only synthesizes "<rootversion>-dev" when slug=="wheels"
or name=="Wheels.fw". An installed app's app-root box.json comes from
wheels-base-template (slug=wheels-base-template), which carries the
precise framework SNAPSHOT version stamped at release time — but the
fallback rejects it because the monorepo signal is absent. Fall-through
returns the bare "0.0.0-dev" sentinel.

Fix: extend the fallback so when the monorepo signal is missing AND
the parent's box.json self-identifies as wheels-base-template (slug or
name match), use its version verbatim (no -dev suffix — that version is
the actual installed framework version, not an upcoming dev build).
The monorepo signal still wins when both could match; both signals are
ignored if their version is itself the unreplaced placeholder.

Three new specs in frameworkVersionSpec.cfc cover the new path,
including the precedence ordering and the placeholder guard. Existing
specs (including the regression for #2291) still pass.

## Verification

- Framework suite: 3333 passed (no regressions).
- CLI suite: 452 pass, 3 fail — pre-existing DoctorSpec issues (#2260),
  unrelated.
- Local dry-run of the release.yml sed substitution: cli/lucli/module.json
  picks up MODULE_VERSION, no other false positives in cli/lucli/.

Closes #2326.

* fix(cli): wheels start auto-stages SQLite driver to close fresh-VM F8

Closes #2326. After this PR, `wheels new` + `wheels start` works with the
zero-config SQLite default datasource on any install path — brew, choco,
dev checkout, manual — without the user needing to drop a JAR by hand.

## Background

Lucee 7's stock Express distribution ships JDBC drivers for MySQL, MSSQL,
PostgreSQL, and HSQLDB but not SQLite. `wheels new`, however, writes
SQLite as the zero-config default (`class: "org.sqlite.JDBC"`,
`connectionString: "jdbc:sqlite:..."`). Without a SQLite JAR somewhere
Lucee can find it (Tomcat classpath via lib/ext/ or an OSGi bundle in
lucee-server/bundles/), every fresh app fails on the first request:

  ClassException: org.sqlite.JDBC

The brew formula already drops the upstream xerial JAR into
`~/.wheels/express/<lucee>/lib/ext/` from a wrapper script, but that only
covers brew installs. Chocolatey, dev checkouts, and manual installs all
hit F8 on the first VM cycle.

## What this changes

- `cli/lucli/services/BundleStager.cfc` (new) — extracted from Module.cfc
  for unit-testability. Two methods:
  - `projectUsesSqliteDatasource(projectRoot)` — true if config/app.cfm
    references `jdbc:sqlite:`, `org.sqlite.JDBC`, or
    `org.xerial.sqlite-jdbc`. Detection covers both the legacy app.cfm
    format (which carried the bundleName hint) and the current format
    post-#2304 which omits the hint and relies on classpath resolution.
  - `stageIntoLibExt(bundleSrc, expressRoot, jarFileName)` — copies the
    JAR into every Lucee version's `lib/ext/`. Idempotent, best-effort,
    returns `{staged, skipped, failed}` for testability.

- `cli/lucli/Module.cfc` — `start()` calls `$ensureWheelsBundles()` both
  before and after delegating to LuCLI's `server start`. Pre-stage covers
  the case where the express dir already exists; post-stage covers the
  very first invocation that just extracted express. Either way, `wheels
  start` and `wheels start --force` end up with the JAR on the classpath
  before Lucee resolves any SQLite datasource.

  `$resolveLucliHome()` follows LuCLI's own resolution order:
    1. `$LUCLI_HOME` env var (e.g. brew wrapper exports `$HOME/.wheels`),
    2. `$HOME/.<lucli.binary.name>` — picks `~/.wheels` for `wheels`
       invocations and `~/.lucli` for bare `lucli`,
    3. `$HOME/.lucli` fallback.

- `cli/lucli/resources/extensions/sqlite/org.xerial.sqlite-jdbc-3.49.1.0.jar`
  (~13 MB) — patched JAR baked into the wheels-module distribution. Built
  from `tools/lucee-extensions/sqlite/build.sh` (#2347), which patches
  upstream's `Require-Capability: osgi.ee;version=1.8` (exact match — fails
  on Felix + Java 21) to `(version>=1.8)` matching the PostgreSQL bundle's
  filter.

- `cli/lucli/tests/specs/services/BundleStagerSpec.cfc` (new, 10 specs) —
  detection edge cases, multi-version Express layouts, idempotency, and
  defensive behavior when the bundle source or express dir is missing.

## Bypass cases (separate follow-ups)

- `wheels server start --force` is a LuCLI built-in passthrough (not
  routed through Module.cfc). Users hit by this can use `wheels start
  --force` instead. F5 in the journal already tracks updating the error
  message that points users at the bypass form.
- Lucee caches a per-process negative bundle resolution. If a user hits a
  SQLite endpoint before the JAR is staged, restart the server. The
  pre-stage in `start()` makes this only matter on a single end-of-train
  user; the post-stage seeds for the next start.

## Verification

- Framework suite: 3333 passed (no regressions).
- CLI suite: 462 passed, 3 fail — pre-existing DoctorSpec issues (#2260),
  unrelated. Of the 462, 10 are new BundleStagerSpec coverage.
- End-to-end: on a clean macOS arm64 + JDK 21 env with no SQLite JAR
  anywhere, `wheels new finalapp` + `wheels start` + `curl /dbtest.cfm`
  returns `OK datasource=finalapp result=1` zero-config. Pre-stage logs
  show the JAR copied into `~/.wheels/express/7.0.0.395/lib/ext/`.
