# Studio moves to a Turborepo monorepo

This one is entirely under the hood. No feature moved, no API changed, nothing
in the product looks different — but it is the largest change in this release
series and it is the reason the ones after it arrive more quickly.

## One workspace

Studio's server, web app, documentation site, database schema, shared utilities,
and component library used to sit as loosely related directories with their own
tooling. They are now a single pnpm workspace under `apps/*` and `packages/*`,
orchestrated by Turborepo.

Builds, typechecks, lints, and tests run through one task graph that knows what
depends on what. Unchanged packages come out of cache instead of being rebuilt,
so a change to the web app no longer pays for a full server typecheck.

## Everything else that moved with it

Docker images and CI both build from the new layout, with conditional builds so
a docs-only change doesn't rebuild the API. Prisma tooling moved to version 6.
Dead code went with the migration — including the legacy context ingestion
module, whose job is now done by [project context](/releases/1-12-4).

## Also in this release

- Component library fixes for Base UI links and select labels, which were
  rendering incorrectly in a few dialogs and dropdown menus.
