Two incompatible (?) ways of using packwerk

My book Gradual Modularization for Ruby and Rails is about using Packwerk for, well, gradual modularization. While I wrapped up the manuscript about six months ago, the bulk of the innovation over the things I thought about in Component-based Rails Applications happened in 2021 and 2022. It has been a while since I took a long look at the merits of the underlying tool. This year, I’ve realized there are two very different ways to use Packwerk.
