Package operations

Environment	List	Install or add	Update	Remove
Regular conda	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Workspace with zero or one feature	Yes	Yes	No	No
Workspace with multiple features	Yes	No	No	No
Conflicted workspace prefix	No	No	No	No

Regular package records

Conda Code runs conda list --prefix <prefix> --json --no-pip and omits records whose platform is the raw pypi marker.

Packages installed through conda-pypi have ordinary conda records and remain visible. Raw pip-only distributions are not shown.

Regular package mutations use the selected prefix:

• install uses conda install

• update adds --update-specs

• removal uses conda remove

Workspace package records

Conda Code gets packages from conda workspace list and labels each record as a direct or transitive dependency.

Adding packages uses conda workspace add. When an environment has one feature, Conda Code passes that feature. An environment composed from multiple features requires a direct manifest edit because the package interface does not provide enough information to choose a feature.

Workspace package removal and update are not exposed. Edit the manifest, run the workspace operation, and refresh Conda Code.

Workspace [pypi-dependencies] are handled by conda-workspaces and conda-pypi. Package changes initiated from Conda Code apply to conda dependencies.
