Deploying a UI Bundle

The order of operations is critical when deploying to a Salesforce org. This sequence reflects the canonical flow.

Step 1: Org Authentication

Check if the org is connected. If not, authenticate. All subsequent steps require an authenticated org.

Step 2: Pre-deploy UI Bundle Build

Install dependencies and build the UI bundle to produce dist/. Required before deploying UI bundle entities.

Run when: deploying UI bundles and dist/ is missing or source has changed.

Step 3: Deploy Metadata

Check for a manifest (manifest/package.xml or package.xml) first. If present, deploy using the manifest. If not, deploy all metadata from the project.

Deploys objects, layouts, permission sets, Apex classes, UI bundles, and all other metadata. Must complete before schema fetch — the schema reflects org state.
