Exporting and Importing (Moved to Solutions)

Environment-to-environment portability is now handled by Solutions. The bifrost export and bifrost import commands have been removed.

A Solution packages a workspace into a single distributable unit and tracks it through install, update, and uninstall. It replaces the loose “scrub a directory of YAML and replay it” flow that the export/import commands provided.

What you used the old flow for maps onto Solutions like this:

  • Promote dev → prod, or share with another environment — author a Solution and bifrost solution deploy, or hand someone a zip from bifrost solution export to bifrost solution install.
  • Back up a known-good state, including secretsbifrost solution export --mode full --password <password> produces a Fernet-encrypted backup; restore it with bifrost solution install <zip> --password <password>.
  • Keep a target environment from drifting — a Solution’s entities are read-only in the target; updates arrive only through deploy or auto-pull, so nobody edits them by hand.
