Run make try against a temporary directory (closes #12)
`make try` ran against a fixed directory on one person's machine. It
failed for anyone else, and where that directory existed it rewrote the
checksum attributes and modification times of real files.

It now writes three small files into a new directory from `mktemp -d`,
runs the same sequence of commands on it, and removes it with an EXIT
trap. All steps run in one shell, so the trap also removes the
directory when a step fails.

`TODO.md`: the `try` sentence leaves Next Step and is recorded under
Completed Steps.

# Workflow
* branch (from `main`)
* do the work in Next Step
* move Next Step to the top of Completed Steps
* move the top item of Future Steps into Next Step
* commit (`TODO.md` changes in the same commit as the work)
* merge to `main` if the branch is not protected, otherwise open a PR
* push
# Status
1.0+
Tagged 1.0.0 (2025-05-08). Substantial correctness fixes and features
have landed since the tag.
# Next Step
Policy scaffold commit: add LICENSE, REPO_POLICIES.md, .editorconfig,
.golangci.yml, and a comprehensive .gitignore (currently only the
attrsum binary), and extend the Makefile (only test/build/clean/try
today) with lint, fmt, fmt-check, check, and hooks targets.
# Completed Steps
* 2026-10-05: `make try` runs on three small files in a temporary
directory that it removes afterwards, also when a step fails,
instead of on a fixed directory on one person's machine
* 2026-10-02: `attrsum --version` reports the git tag or short commit,
stamped by `make build` and by a plain `docker build .` of a clone;
`.dockerignore` sends `.git` without `.git/config` and keeps a
host-built `attrsum` out; CI checks out full history so it stamps
the same version
* 2026-02-02: correctness pass: track actual bytes read instead of
stale file size, atomic failure tracking in ProcessCheck, detect
file modification during checksum (TOCTOU), propagate countFiles
errors, single progress bar across paths, error on empty stdin,
dead code removal
* 2026-02-01: added quiet mode, progress bar, summary report, and stdin
path input; multiple file/directory arguments for all commands
* 2025-07-12: README update
* 2025-05-08: initial working tool with passing tests, skips
non-regular files, Makefile, README; tagged 1.0.0
# Future Steps
* Add .gitea/workflows/check.yml
* Restructure README.md into the standard sections: Description,
Getting Started, Rationale, Design, TODO, License, Author (Getting
Started, Why?, TODO, License exist; Description, Design, Author are
missing)
* Tag a patch release to ship the 2026-02-02 correctness fixes
* Dry-run mode (--dry-run, -n): show what would be done without making
changes (from README TODO)
* JSON output (--json) for scripting and integration (from README TODO)
* Parallel processing (-j N) with multiple goroutines for faster
checksumming on large trees (from README TODO)
* Formalize and document exit codes for scripting (from README TODO)
