$bit capsule
Additional Notes
a capsule is a directory containing the component code, isolated from the workspace.
normally, capsules are created during the build process, the component files are copied and the packages are installed
via the configured package-manager. the purpose is to compile/test them in isolation to make sure they will work for
other users after publishing/exporting them.
