There was a problem hiding this comment.
Nothing blocking. The ownership logic is now in one place (owns_file / relative_path), every caller passes nested through, and why agrees with the touch check. A three-level chain (root > app > plugin) resolves to the innermost package. shared mode keeps today's behaviour because the list is empty. I found no other path-prefix ownership code in the repo that skips the exclusion.
Nit: src/config/package.rs tests need a blank line between no_changed_files_is_not_a_touch and fn nested.

When one package's
pathcontains another's (FerrLabs/FerrVault: operator at., CLI atcli), a file under the inner path counts for both, so a CLI-only commit also releases the operator.New opt-in key
workspace.nestedPackages:shared(default): unchanged behaviour.exclusive: each changed file goes to the package with the longest matching path, so a nested package owns its subtree.sharedPathsstill count as an explicit opt-in.Applied everywhere a file is attributed to a package: touch detection, commit scoping for the bump and changelog, recovered releases,
ferrflow diffandferrflow why(which now reports a file owned by a nested package as unmatched).Notes:
PackageConfig::is_touched_bytakes the nested paths as a third argument. The library API is not semver-guarded (config structs gain public fields in minors), and a two-argument wrapper would be dead code in the binary, so no wrapper.Config::nested_package_paths, pluswhytests on a real repo for both modes.
