Metro cache cleanup is a silent no-op; npm still ships broken 1.0.0; docs reference unpublished SDK package

[JeanSilvany]

Three separate findings from adopting dpctl in a React Native project. Filing together since they were hit in sequence; happy to split if you prefer.

(The slash crash that blocked releases is #6, not repeated here.)

---

1. deleteFolder(${os.tmpdir()}/react-*) never deletes anything

script/command-executor.ts:1364 clears the React Native bundler cache with a glob:

// This is needed to clear the react native bundler cache:
// https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/4289
.then(() => deleteFolder(`${os.tmpdir()}/react-*`))

v1.1.0 migrated to rimraf@^6, which dropped glob support — v6 treats the argument as a literal path. Verified:

const { rimraf } = require("rimraf");           // 6.1.3
fs.mkdirSync(path.join(os.tmpdir(), "react-globprobe"));
await rimraf(path.join(os.tmpdir(), "react-globprobe*"));
// directory still exists

Nothing fails loudly — the cleanup the comment describes simply stops happening, silently reintroducing react/react-native#4289.

A fix would resolve the glob first (glob + rimraf, or fs.readdir(os.tmpdir()) filtered by the react- prefix). Happy to send a PR if you have a preferred approach.

2. npm still serves 1.0.0, which cannot release at all

npm view @deploypulseio/dpctl versions returns only 1.0.0 (published 2025-12-31). GitHub is at v1.1.1.

1.0.0 declares rimraf: ^6.1.2 but calls the v2/v3 callback API:

// bin/script/command-executor.js:199
rimraf(folderPath, (err) => { ... });   // TypeError: rimraf is not a function

So npm i @deploypulseio/dpctl produces a CLI that fails before bundling even starts. The docs recommend installing from source, but the npm package exists and is what package managers resolve by default.

---

3. Docs reference an unpublished SDK package

https://docs.deploypulse.io/mobile says:

npm install @deploypulseio/react-native-code-push

That package name returns 404 on the npm registry.

Environment: Node v24.15.0, macOS, React Native 0.81.4.
