is this ok PR Description: Move Devnet to Separate Package
I. Summary
This PR refactors the Evolution SDK by extracting all Devnet functionality into a dedicated
@evolution-sdk/devnetpackage. Previously, Devnet was bundled within the main@evolution-sdk/evolutionpackage, introducing Node.js-specific dependencies, such asdockerode, that caused build failures in frontend frameworks like Next.js, Vite, and Create React App. This change isolates Node.js code, making the core SDK fully browser-compatible, modular, and maintainable.II. Problem Statement
Browser Builds Fail: Devnet's Node.js dependencies caused errors in frontend environments.
Poor Developer Experience: Developers were forced to implement workarounds or avoid using the SDK in browser contexts.
Mixed Responsibilities: Browser-safe code and Node.js-specific functionality were intertwined, increasing maintenance complexity.
III. Solution Overview
Package Isolation: Devnet code has been moved to
@evolution-sdk/devnet. The core SDK is now browser-safe.History Preservation: The directory
packages/evolution-devnetwas renamed topackages/devnetto retain full git history.Complete File Transfer: All core modules (
Cluster.ts,Config.ts,Container.ts,Genesis.ts,Images.ts,index.ts), configuration files, and 34 test files were relocated.Dependency Cleanup: The main SDK no longer references Node.js-specific packages. The new Devnet package manages its own dependencies independently.
IV. Impact Analysis
Browser Compatibility: Broken → Works out-of-the-box
Bundle Size: Large → Optimized
Developer Experience: Confusing → Seamless
Separation of Concerns: Mixed → Clean, modular
V. API Compatibility
No breaking changes. Existing imports remain functional:
import { Devnet } from '@evolution-sdk/evolution'
Recommended new import path:
import { Devnet } from '@evolution-sdk/devnet'
VI. Testing and Verification
Build verification: pnpm build completes successfully for both packages.
Type safety: TypeScript compilation passes with zero errors.
Package integrity: Git preserves history across 34 files.
Dependency audit: Core SDK contains zero Node.js imports.
Integration tests: Docker-dependent tests execute safely in CI environments.
VII. Long-Term Value
Browser-first design: Core SDK works universally.
Modular architecture: Node.js-specific features are contained in dedicated packages.
Developer experience: No more build errors or configuration issues.
Maintainability: Clear separation of concerns facilitates easier management and future upgrades.
VIII. Closing Notes
This refactor transforms the Evolution SDK into a truly universal Cardano development platform. Frontend developers can now integrate the SDK directly into browser applications, while backend workflows remain fully supported via the optional devnet package.
