- Revised terminology from "capabilities" to "effects" throughout documentation.
- Updated `spore.toml` to replace `handles` with `handled-effects`.
- Adjusted comments in source files to align with the new effect tracking model.
- Cleaned up example application and CI workflow for consistency with new terminology.

+category: gotchas
+tags: [spore, ci, project-mode, basic-cli]
+created: 2026-04-28
+context: "basic-cli CI needed to validate a package-backed example with the shipped compiler"
+---
+
+## Problem
+
+The current `spore` CLI validates package-backed examples reliably when given the explicit entry file, but bare directory invocations and standalone file assumptions can fail depending on current compiler surface and imports.
+
+## Solution
+
+Use explicit file targets for project-mode checks:
+
+```bash
+spore check examples/hello-app/src/main.sp
+spore build examples/hello-app/src/main.sp
+cd examples/hello-app && spore run src/main.sp
+```
+
+## Key points
+
+- Keep CI focused on the canonical package-backed entry file.
+- Treat standalone `.sp` examples as separate from project-mode validation.
+- Re-run `spore format --check`, `spore check`, and `spore build` against explicit files when compiler behavior is in flux.
