What I did

I deleted the shim packages for addons from the monorepo.

Because they have 0 dependencies, and all they do is cause an error/warning to happen.. there's no reason for these packages to ever change anymore.

Publishing the same code over and over again is a waste.

Furthermore, we want to actually mark these packages as deprecated on the npm registry. We cannot do that effectively if we keep publishing new versions.

Greptile Summary

Removes deprecated shim addon packages from the Storybook monorepo as part of the v9.0 consolidation effort.

  • Removes shim packages for actions, backgrounds, controls, measure, outline, toolbars, and viewport addons that only served to display deprecation warnings
  • Enables proper deprecation marking of these packages on npm registry by stopping continuous republishing
  • Aligns with v9.0 migration where these addons are now accessed directly from the core package (e.g., storybook/viewport instead of @storybook/addon-viewport)
  • Reduces maintenance overhead by removing redundant packages with zero dependencies
  • Supports cleaner migration path by leveraging npm's built-in deprecation mechanism

Pull Request Overview

Removes deprecated shim packages for the controls, backgrounds, and actions addons to stop re-publishing unused stubs.

  • Deletes entire directories and files for shimmed addons (package.json, source stubs, configs)
  • Eliminates the error stubs that provided migration guidance upon import
  • Cleans up build/preview/manager entry points for these addons

  • Removing these error stubs will cause users who still import the old addon to see a generic module-not-found error instead of a clear migration message. Consider keeping a minimal stub that throws a descriptive error pointing to the migration guide.
