Long-lived next branch for this release cycle. One issue-closing commit per work unit accumulates here; this PR is the single integration point back to main.

Carried so far

  • 407b0a0 — Add the MIT LICENSE and state it in the README (closes #10)
  • 25b6c0a — Run the lint inside Docker via Dockerfile.lint (closes #38). Amends and replaces the earlier f5761b6, per the review on this PR and the owner ruling on the issue.

407b0a0 — MIT LICENSE

The repo had no LICENSE, which REPO_POLICIES.md lists as a mandatory minimum file, and the README's License section said "Content is provided as-is for community use." — a sentence that granted nothing explicitly and matched no committed file.

The repo is public (private: false on the Gitea API, checked rather than assumed), so the owner's standing policy applies: MIT on any public repo lacking a licence.

  • LICENSE at the repo root, extensionless. Byte-identical to the canonical sneak/homoicon copy — same git blob, 3274443 — and its body is word-for-word the SPDX MIT text with only the line wrapping differing.
  • README ## License now reads MIT. See [LICENSE](LICENSE)., and says explicitly that the licence covers content/ as well as the code. This repo carries both a Hugo site and its community content, while MIT's own text speaks only of "the Software".
  • README Description first line now carries the licence, which the REPO_POLICIES.md README requirements call for and which was the one field it was missing.
  • TODO.md updated in the same commit per its Workflow section.

Per-file licence headers and SPDX identifiers are deliberately omitted — no org standard mandates them, and the issue puts them explicitly out of scope.

Verification

  • script/cibuild green in-container on the pinned standard hugo v0.164.0, with the check layer observed executing rather than served from cache (CHECK_EPOCH guard satisfied, real build output); the script/bootstrap layer stayed CACHED as expected.
  • Public-output check, which the issue asks for by name: nothing served publicly contradicts the licence. The built public/ tree — index.html, css/style.css, index.xml, sitemap.xml — contains no copyright, all-rights-reserved or terms-of-use string at all. The rendered footer names @sneak and links the repo but reserves no rights; the RSS carries no copyright element; content/_index.md is factual mesh channel data asserting no licence of its own.
  • .prettierignore scope question, likewise as asked, measured rather than assumed: LICENSE needs no ignore entry. script/fmt passes prettier the explicit globs '**/*.md' and '**/*.css', and an extensionless root file matches neither. A script/fmt run leaves LICENSE's hash unchanged at 3274443, while a counterfactual LICENSE.md copy placed alongside it was reflowed by that same run — direct evidence that the extension is what excludes it, not an ignore rule. The counterfactual file was removed and is not in the commit.

25b6c0a — the lint runs in Docker

New root Dockerfile.lint runs hugo --minify --printPathWarnings as a build step, so a successful build is a clean lint. script/lint is nothing but a build of that file — no host path, and deliberately no "am I already inside a container?" branch, which would be a host lint path in disguise.

The containerisation boundary is lint only, per the owner ruling on the issue: "fmt and fmt check arent docker, just linting." script/fmt and script/fmt-check run on the host, with the version, scope and flags they had on main. That also deletes the forced duplication of prettier's settings between a script and a Dockerfile, and with it the keep-in-sync notes that duplication required. It lands the repo on the same shape as the canonical sneak/prompts text, which independently kept the format check on the host.

One stage, on purpose

A whole-file docker build -f Dockerfile.lint . builds only the file's last stage, and sibling stages off a shared base carry no ordering edge between them. A second stage beside the lint would therefore be silently skipped by exactly the invocation the canonical org-wide script/lint uses, and the per-stage CHECK_EPOCH guard cannot catch that — the stage that did run satisfies it. With a single stage there is nothing to skip and script/lint needs no --target. The file carries a comment saying that any second check added here must be chained (FROM lint AS ...) or carry an explicit ordering edge, never left as a sibling.

Its first four instructions are byte-identical to the main Dockerfile's and in the same order, so the expensive RUN script/bootstrap layer — which compiles the pinned Hugo from source — is shared between the two images rather than paid twice. Observed, not assumed: in one script/cibuild invocation, RUN script/bootstrap came back CACHED in both builds.

The recursion, resolved by direction rather than detection

make check calls script/lint, and script/lint is a docker build, so RUN make check in an image would attempt a docker build inside a build step where there is no daemon. So:

check where it runs driven by
lint (hugo --minify --printPathWarnings) Dockerfile.lint script/lint
production build (hugo --minify) main Dockerfile, RUN script/test script/test, script/docker, script/cibuild
format check (prettier, read-only) main Dockerfile, RUN script/fmt-check; and on the host script/fmt-check
format write (prettier --write) host script/fmt

The main Dockerfile runs the individual non-lint checks as separate RUN lines under the CHECK_EPOCH guard, matching the canonical shape, and only the lint is absent from it. script/cibuild runs script/lint first, for fail-fast feedback: on a runner with no cached bootstrap layer a lint failure should not wait behind a Hugo build from source. script/check is unchanged in behaviour (test, lint, fmt-check); one of its three steps is a container build, so it needs a working Docker daemon and has no fallback.

Cache busting

ARG CHECK_EPOCH with no default, guarded by [ -n "$CHECK_EPOCH" ] || exit 1, and the value expanded into the linted command as well as the guard, so invalidation never rests on BuildKit's treatment of an unreferenced ARG. Every image-building entrypoint generates and passes it — script/cibuild, script/docker, script/lint — each as a whole assignment rather than inline, for the set -e reason script/cibuild documents.

script/lint builds with --output type=cacheonly. The build is run for its exit status, not for an image; because the lint layer is cache-busted every invocation, an exporting build leaves one dangling image per lint run, which accumulates on a shared host. The build cache is unaffected (script/bootstrap still hits) and failures still propagate.

Divergences from REPO_POLICIES.md, both stated

  • REPO_POLICIES.md:92, "all Dockerfiles must run make check". That rule and "every lint run happens in Docker" cannot both hold once make check contains the lint.
  • REPO_POLICIES.md:102-168, which requires a separate lint stage whose result the build stage depends on via COPY --from=lint /src/go.sum /dev/null, on the stated grounds that without the edge "the build stage would not wait for lint to finish and a lint failure might not fail the overall build". No such edge exists here: the lint is its own file and its own build, sequenced by script/cibuild rather than by BuildKit.

Both sections are superseded upstream by 12e8db8 in sneak/prompts (carried by sneak/prompts#34), which deletes the Go multistage lint stage and its ordering trick for the same reason — that stage ran make lint, which is now a docker build.

Verification

Re-established from scratch in a fresh clone against this commit's tree; none of it is inherited from the superseded f5761b6.

  • Two consecutive script/lint runs, unchanged tree, both executed the lint. Run 1 68.6s (cold script/bootstrap), run 2 0.849s with RUN script/bootstrap CACHED and the lint layer DONE, printing its own distinct epoch and hugo's real output (Start building sites …, hugo v0.164.0 linux/amd64, the page table, Total in 23 ms). No lint layer was ever CACHED.
  • Regression test for the skipped-sibling hazard: docker build -f Dockerfile.lint --build-arg CHECK_EPOCH=... ., no --target, genuinely ran the lint — epoch echoed, real hugo output, [7/7] DONE. That same run's naming to moby-dangling@sha256:... line is the direct evidence for the dangling-image leak that --output type=cacheonly removes from script/lint.
  • Guard fails closed: docker build -f Dockerfile.lint . with no argument dies on RUN [ -n "$CHECK_EPOCH" ] || exit 1, exit 1, before the lint.
  • Negative control, lint: an undefined field appended to themes/loravega/layouts/index.html failed the build with hugo's own finding — executing "index.html" at <.ThisFieldDoesNotExistRw38>: can't evaluate field ThisFieldDoesNotExistRw38 in type *hugolib.pageState. Reverted, re-run clean.
  • Negative control, host script/fmt-check: an over-long unwrapped line appended to README.md gave exit 1 with [warn] README.md / Code style issues found in the above file. Reverted, All matched files use Prettier code style!.
  • script/cibuild fails fast: with that same template error planted, it exited 1 in 0.630s, and the main image build never started — zero check epoch lines in the whole log.
  • script/cibuild green: 11.5s, exit 0. Lint build first with its own epoch and real hugo output; then the main image with a distinct check epoch, script/test output, and RUN script/fmt-check printing All matched files use Prettier code style!. RUN script/bootstrap CACHED in both.
  • make check green: 3.9s, exit 0, with the host production build, the container lint (distinct epoch, real hugo output) and the host format check each observed executing.
  • script/docker green: 10.3s, exit 0, both RUN checks observed executing, naming to docker.io/library/lora.vegas:latest.
  • Dangling-image leak closed: a script/lint run was bracketed by a set-diff of docker images -f dangling=true -q. The one new ID that appeared was attributed by docker inspect to another concurrent session (node base, WorkingDir=/app), not to this build; script/lint exported no image.
  • Deploy path untouched, checked as a diff rather than inferred: .gitea/, script/bootstrap, script/test and .dockerignore are byte-identical to main at 7d7bec5. deploy.yml references no Dockerfile, no make check and no docker build.
  • No prune of any kind at any point; every invalidation was scoped to a single build via its own build argument.

Known limitation, unchanged by this commit

The lint fails on hugo build errors but not on render-target collisions: --printPathWarnings prints them and exits 0. Pre-existing, tracked at #25, and containerising the run neither fixes nor worsens it. Called out because it bounds what the lint negative control could demonstrate.

Out of scope, untouched

.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml and the deploy path. check.yml is unchanged — it already runs script/cibuild.

Add the MIT LICENSE and state it in the README (closes #10)
All checks were successful
check / check (push) Successful in 11s
407b0a0d79
The repo had no LICENSE, which REPO_POLICIES.md lists as a mandatory
minimum file, and the README's License section said "Content is provided
as-is for community use." That granted nothing explicitly and matched no
committed file.

The repo is public, verified on the Gitea API rather than assumed, so
the standing policy applies: MIT on any public repo lacking a license.
LICENSE is byte-identical to the canonical sneak/homoicon copy (same git
blob, 3274443) and its body is word-for-word the SPDX MIT text, with
only the line wrapping differing.

The README License section now reads "MIT. See LICENSE.", and says
explicitly that the licence covers content/ as well as the code: this
repo carries both a Hugo site and its community content, while MIT's own
text speaks only of "the Software". The Description first line gains the
licence, which the README requirements call for and which was the one
field it was missing.

Nothing published contradicts the choice. The built public/ tree carries
no copyright, all-rights-reserved or terms-of-use string in index.html,
css/style.css, index.xml or sitemap.xml; the rendered footer names
@sneak and links the repo but reserves no rights, and the RSS carries no
copyright element. The content is factual mesh channel data asserting no
licence of its own.

LICENSE needed no .prettierignore entry, measured rather than assumed:
script/fmt passes prettier the explicit globs '**/*.md' and '**/*.css',
and an extensionless root file matches neither. A script/fmt run leaves
the file's hash unchanged, and a counterfactual LICENSE.md copy was
reflowed by that same run, which is the direct evidence that the
extension is what excludes it and not an ignore rule.

Per-file licence headers and SPDX identifiers are deliberately omitted;
no org standard mandates them.

Nothing on the deploy path is touched.

Manager note.

407b0a0 is docs-only — LICENSE, README.md, TODO.md, verified against the diff, with zero changes to code, config, scripts, CI or build files — so the adversarial review is waived per policy. LICENSE's blob hash matches the canonical sneak/homoicon copy exactly, so the licence text needs no independent reading.

Not merging on that exception, deliberately. A merge to main fires deploy.yml and publishes a real Cloudflare Pages deployment, and this commit changes nothing Hugo renders — the built output is byte-identical. Spending a production deploy on a README edit is the wrong trade on a repo where a merge has broken the deploy before. It accumulates here until the cycle lands.

One defect carried in and to be fixed by the next commit rather than reworked now: TODO.md's Next Step was advanced to #20 , which is parked with the owner and gated on this Gitea instance serving the v4 artifact protocol. The implementer followed the documented Workflow correctly — the fault is that Future Steps is ordered with owner-blocked items at the top, so the mechanical "promote the top item" step surfaces unstartable work.

clawbot added 1 commit 2026-08-10 14:53:04 +02:00
Run every lint-class check inside Docker (closes #38)
All checks were successful
check / check (push) Successful in 1m9s
f5761b6227
Add a root Dockerfile.lint that carries the checks as build steps -- a
`lint` stage running `hugo --minify --printPathWarnings` and a
`fmt-check` stage running the prettier check -- and reduce script/lint
and script/fmt-check to building their stage. A successful build is a
clean check. There is no host path and deliberately no "am I already
inside a container?" branch, which would be a host lint path in
disguise.

The two stages share a `base` whose first four instructions are
byte-identical to the main Dockerfile's, so the expensive
`RUN script/bootstrap` layer that compiles the pinned Hugo from source
is a cache hit against the main image instead of a second build of the
same thing.

Resolve the resulting recursion by splitting the checks by where they
run, not with an escape hatch. `make check` runs script/lint, so the
main Dockerfile can no longer `RUN make check`: that would be
docker-in-docker inside a bare Alpine with no docker client and no
daemon socket, and script/cibuild is what CI runs on every push. The
main Dockerfile therefore runs `make test`, the production build, and
script/cibuild builds it and then calls script/lint and
script/fmt-check. CI still covers the production build, lint and the
format check, and it runs exactly what a developer runs.

script/fmt stays on the host because it rewrites the working tree,
which a container build cannot do. That makes it the authoritative
copy of the prettier version, scope and flags that the fmt-check stage
duplicates; both sides carry a keep-in-sync note. The duplication is
forced: any `RUN script/fmt-check` inside the image is the recursion
again.

Caching is waived for the checks in the shape this repo already
settled: `ARG CHECK_EPOCH` with no default, declared and guarded
separately in each stage because ARG does not cross a FROM, with the
value expanded into the checked command as well as the guard so
invalidation does not rest on BuildKit's treatment of an unreferenced
ARG. All four image-building entrypoints now generate and pass it --
script/cibuild, script/docker, script/lint, script/fmt-check.

Verified: two consecutive script/lint runs on an unchanged tree both
executed hugo for real, with script/bootstrap CACHED; a constant-epoch
counterfactual restored the false green (exit 0, lint layer CACHED, no
hugo output); an empty epoch failed closed on the guard; a broken
template failed the lint stage and an unformatted README failed the
fmt-check stage, both reverted and re-run clean; script/cibuild and
`make check` are green with all three checks demonstrably executing.

Independent review — f5761b6 only (407b0a0 out of scope)

Verdict: FAIL — needs-rework.

Reviewed in an own fresh clone at next = f5761b6. CI status on the head commit is success; next is a fast-forward of main (mergeable, no conflicts).


Blocking

1. script/fmt-check must not be a container build. Owner ruling, sneak 2026-08-10: "fmt and fmt check arent docker, just linting." Only linting is containerised. This is settled by decision, so the (well-argued) rationale in the PR body does not survive it.

Acceptable shape: restore script/fmt-check to its 7d7bec5 host form — PRETTIER_VERSION="3.4.2" and npx --yes "prettier@${PRETTIER_VERSION}" --check '**/*.md' '**/*.css' --tab-width 4 --prose-wrap always — drop its CHECK_EPOCH generation, and delete the fmt-check stage from Dockerfile.lint entirely. That also deletes the forced duplication of prettier's version/scope/flags between script/fmt and Dockerfile.lint, so the keep-in-sync notes on both sides go with it, as do the fmt-check sentences in script/fmt, script/check, README.md and TODO.md.

2. Dockerfile now gates on strictly less than it did, and less than canonical. It ran make check (test + lint + fmt-check); Dockerfile:56 now runs make test alone. Dropping lint is forced by the recursion. Dropping fmt-check is not — once finding 1 lands there is no recursion in running it inside the image, and the canonical resolution upstream (12e8db8 on next in sneak/prompts, carried by sneak/prompts#34) runs both script/test and script/fmt-check in the main image.

Acceptable: main Dockerfile runs script/test and script/fmt-check as separate RUN lines under the CHECK_EPOCH guard, with the existing header comment narrowed to say that only lint is deliberately absent and why. Update the README Entrypoints paragraph to match.

3. Dockerfile.lint's default stage is fmt-check, so the conventional whole-file build runs no lint at all and still exits 0. fmt-check is the last FROM in the file, and the two stages are independent siblings off base with no ordering edge, so a build without --target never instantiates the lint stage. Proven, not inferred:

$ docker build -f Dockerfile.lint --build-arg CHECK_EPOCH=rev38probe-2292734 .
#10 [fmt-check 1/2] RUN [ -n "rev38probe-2292734" ] || exit 1
#11 [fmt-check 2/2] RUN echo "fmt-check epoch: ..." &&  npx --yes "prettier@3.4.2" --check ...
#12 DONE 0.9s        <- exit 0; no `lint` stage anywhere in the graph

The CHECK_EPOCH guard does not protect against this — it is per-stage, and the stage that did build satisfied it. Dockerfile.lint:2-3 ("the checks are build steps, so a successful build IS a clean lint") is therefore false for exactly the invocation the org-wide canonical script/lint uses (docker build -f Dockerfile.lint ., no --target). A future sync toward the canonical script form would silently drop the hugo lint with no failure and no output.

Acceptable: after finding 1 the file contains only the lint, so script/lint becomes a plain docker build -f Dockerfile.lint --build-arg CHECK_EPOCH="$epoch" . with no --target, and the last-stage hazard disappears. If any second stage is ever reintroduced, it must be chained (FROM lint AS ...) or carry an explicit ordering edge, never left as a sibling.

4. script/cibuild ordering diverges from canonical, undisclosed. script/cibuild:41-45 builds the main image first, then script/lint. Canonical runs script/lint first for fail-fast. On a runner with no cached RUN script/bootstrap layer, a lint-only failure is reported only after the full Hugo-from-source main build completes. Acceptable: script/lint first, then the main image build, then the (host) script/fmt-check; each build keeps its own epoch.

5. Undisclosed REPO_POLICIES.md divergence. The PR discloses REPO_POLICIES.md:92 ("all Dockerfiles must run make check"). It does not disclose REPO_POLICIES.md:102-168, which requires the Dockerfile to carry a separate lint stage with an explicit ordering edge (COPY --from=lint /src/go.sum /dev/null) precisely because "without this line, the build stage would not wait for lint to finish and a lint failure might not fail the overall build". After this commit no ordering edge exists anywhere — which is what finding 3 is. Upstream has already superseded that section (12e8db8 in sneak/prompts), so the right resolution is to state the divergence and link the superseding change, not to re-add the Go lint stage. But it has to be stated.


Non-blocking, worth fixing while in there

  • Offline regression (dissolves with finding 1): the fmt-check layer is cache-busted on every invocation, so npx --yes prettier@3.4.2 re-fetches from the npm registry every single run — there is no surviving npx cache in that layer. Proven against the built base image: docker run --rm --network none ... npx --yes prettier@3.4.2 gives npm error request to https://registry.npmjs.org/prettier failed, reason: getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN. The host form reuses ~/.npm/_npx and works offline after first use, so as committed every commit and every CI run requires npm-registry reachability.
  • Untagged builds leak a dangling image per invocation. Measured: +1 dangling image per script/lint. make check now leaves 2 per run and CI 3 per push, against 1 before. Consider -t "$("$SCRIPT_DIR"/projectname)-lint".
  • Pre-commit cost is not documented. Measured on a warm host: make check 7.9s, against 3.6s for the equivalent all-host gate at 7d7bec5. That is fine. What is not stated anywhere is the cold case: with no cached script/bootstrap layer the first commit on a machine compiles the pinned Hugo from source before the hook returns. script/check and the README should say so.

Verified and passing (one line each)

  • Cache busting works and the guard fails closed: two consecutive script/lint runs on an unchanged tree, 7.334s then 1.913s, distinct epochs echoed, real hugo output both times, [base 4/5] RUN script/bootstrap CACHED and no lint layer ever CACHED; bare docker build . and bare docker build -f Dockerfile.lint . both die on RUN [ -n "$CHECK_EPOCH" ] || exit 1.
  • Every image-building entrypoint passes the argument — script/cibuild, script/docker, script/lint, script/fmt-check — and no other entrypoint builds an image (checked all of script/, the Makefile, and both workflows, not just the four the PR body names).
  • No prettier scope divergence between host and container. Constructed rather than read: the built base image contains exactly the same six md/css files as the host worktree (README.md, REPO_POLICIES.md, TODO.md, archetypes/default.md, content/_index.md, themes/loravega/static/css/style.css), both regimes read the same .gitignore + .prettierignore, and no md/css path in this repo falls under any .dockerignore-only exclusion. The container set is not smaller.
  • Deploy path cannot be affected. f5761b6 touches neither script/bootstrap, script/test, .dockerignore nor .gitea/workflows/*; deploy.yml's build job runs only script/bootstrap then script/test on a runner container and never references a Dockerfile, make check, or a docker build. Checked against the commit's file list, not inferred from the PR body.
  • No check disappeared from CI: script/cibuild still reaches the production build, the lint and the format check (the loss in finding 2 is to the main image, not to CI).
  • make fmt clean; tree clean; make check green; commit message ends (closes #38); no attribution trailers anywhere in the commit; naming and idiom consistent with the surrounding scripts; no scope creep; the TODO.md Future Steps reordering correctly fixes the "owner-blocked items at the top" defect carried in from 407b0a0.
  • The --printPathWarnings limitation (collisions print but exit 0) is correctly disclosed as pre-existing and tracked at #25 .

Disclosures

  • CI reports success for f5761b6, but this account cannot read the Actions job log (403: user should be the owner of the repo), so I could not independently confirm from CI output that the three check layers executed there rather than being served from cache. I verified the mechanism locally instead — each entrypoint mints a fresh epoch per invocation, which structurally prevents it — but the CI-side execution itself is asserted by the author and unverified by me.
  • The offline finding was proven with docker run --network none against the built base image rather than docker build --network none, because changing the build network mode invalidates the script/bootstrap cache key and the build failed in script/bootstrap before reaching npx.
  • No prune of any kind was run at any point; the one probe image was removed, the review clone is clean, and nothing was committed or pushed.
## Independent review — `f5761b6` only (`407b0a0` out of scope) **Verdict: FAIL — `needs-rework`.** Reviewed in an own fresh clone at `next` = `f5761b6`. CI status on the head commit is `success`; `next` is a fast-forward of `main` (mergeable, no conflicts). --- ### Blocking **1. `script/fmt-check` must not be a container build.** Owner ruling, sneak 2026-08-10: "fmt and fmt check arent docker, just linting." Only linting is containerised. This is settled by decision, so the (well-argued) rationale in the PR body does not survive it. Acceptable shape: restore `script/fmt-check` to its `7d7bec5` host form — `PRETTIER_VERSION="3.4.2"` and `npx --yes "prettier@${PRETTIER_VERSION}" --check '**/*.md' '**/*.css' --tab-width 4 --prose-wrap always` — drop its `CHECK_EPOCH` generation, and delete the `fmt-check` stage from `Dockerfile.lint` entirely. That also deletes the forced duplication of prettier's version/scope/flags between `script/fmt` and `Dockerfile.lint`, so the keep-in-sync notes on both sides go with it, as do the fmt-check sentences in `script/fmt`, `script/check`, `README.md` and `TODO.md`. **2. `Dockerfile` now gates on strictly less than it did, and less than canonical.** It ran `make check` (test + lint + fmt-check); `Dockerfile:56` now runs `make test` alone. Dropping lint is forced by the recursion. Dropping `fmt-check` is not — once finding 1 lands there is no recursion in running it inside the image, and the canonical resolution upstream (`12e8db8` on `next` in `sneak/prompts`, carried by https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/prompts/pulls/34) runs **both** `script/test` and `script/fmt-check` in the main image. Acceptable: main `Dockerfile` runs `script/test` and `script/fmt-check` as separate `RUN` lines under the `CHECK_EPOCH` guard, with the existing header comment narrowed to say that only *lint* is deliberately absent and why. Update the README Entrypoints paragraph to match. **3. `Dockerfile.lint`'s default stage is `fmt-check`, so the conventional whole-file build runs no lint at all and still exits 0.** `fmt-check` is the last `FROM` in the file, and the two stages are independent siblings off `base` with no ordering edge, so a build without `--target` never instantiates the `lint` stage.

Manager note. Review FAILED; needs-rework. Rework dispatched to a fresh implementer, not the author.

I independently confirmed finding 3 against the committed Dockerfile.lint before acting on it, because it is the one finding that is a live false green rather than a policy divergence: fmt-check is the final stage and lint is its sibling off base, so a whole-file build instantiates only fmt-check and exits 0 having run no lint at all. The per-stage CHECK_EPOCH guard cannot catch this — it is satisfied by the stage that did run. The file's own header claims "a successful build IS a clean lint", which is false for exactly the invocation the canonical org-wide script/lint uses (docker build -f Dockerfile.lint ., no --target). This repo's script/lint passes --target lint and so was green for the right reason; the trap was one entrypoint away, not active.

Finding 1 resolves finding 3 structurally rather than by patching it: with script/fmt-check back on the host per the owner ruling, Dockerfile.lint has one stage, --target becomes unnecessary, and there is no non-final stage left to skip. The reworker is instructed to take that route rather than adding a --target and calling it fixed.

Rework lands as an amend of f5761b6 plus a force-push of next, keeping one commit per closed issue. That is safe only while nothing is based on the branch, so the reworker verifies immediately before pushing that next is still at f5761b6 and this PR is still open, and aborts to me if either has moved.

Rework of f5761b6, point by point

Amended to 25b6c0a, force-pushed over next. Preconditions were checked immediately before the push and held: origin/next was still exactly f5761b6227308afd11c51367b1739a62122768ff and this PR was still open and unmerged; the push used --force-with-lease pinned to that SHA. 407b0a0 survives untouched as the parent. Reworked by a different implementer than the author; every finding was re-verified from scratch in a fresh clone, nothing was inherited from the old evidence.

1. script/fmt-check must not be a container build — fixed

Restored to its 7d7bec5 host form: PRETTIER_VERSION="3.4.2" and npx --yes "prettier@${PRETTIER_VERSION}" --check '**/*.md' '**/*.css' --tab-width 4 --prose-wrap always, with its CHECK_EPOCH generation gone. The fmt-check stage is deleted from Dockerfile.lint, and with it the duplicated prettier version/scope/flags and both keep-in-sync notes. The fmt-check-in-Docker sentences are gone from script/fmt, script/check, README.md and TODO.md. Each of the four now states the boundary the ruling actually draws — only linting is containerised — rather than the old split.

2. Dockerfile gates on less than canonical — fixed

It now runs script/test and script/fmt-check as separate RUN lines under the CHECK_EPOCH guard, matching 12e8db8 in sneak/prompts. The header comment is narrowed accordingly: it says that only the lint is deliberately absent, why (script/lint is a docker build, so make check here would nest a build inside a build step), and that the lint is not skipped because script/cibuild runs it first in its own container. The README Entrypoints paragraph matches.

Observed executing in the main image on a green script/cibuild:

#12 [8/8] RUN script/fmt-check
#12 1.425 Checking formatting...
#12 1.800 All matched files use Prettier code style!
#12 DONE 6.6s

3. Whole-file build ran no lint — fixed structurally, not patched

Taken the route the manager note directs: with finding 1 landed, Dockerfile.lint has exactly one stage, script/lint passes no --target, and there is no sibling left to skip. No --target was added anywhere. The file now carries a comment stating that a whole-file build instantiates only the last stage, that siblings off a shared base have no ordering edge, and that any second check added here must be chained or carry an explicit edge.

Regression test — the exact invocation the canonical script/lint uses, no --target, now genuinely lints:

#12 [7/7] RUN echo "lint epoch: rw38probe-1786367753851078619" && hugo --minify --printPathWarnings
#12 0.224 lint epoch: rw38probe-1786367753851078619
#12 0.260 Start building sites …
#12 0.260 hugo v0.164.0 linux/amd64 BuildDate=unknown
#12 0.277 Total in 19 ms
#12 DONE 0.3s

The header's "a successful build IS a clean lint" claim is now true for every invocation of the file, not just one caller's.

4. script/cibuild ordering — fixed

script/lint first, then the main image build. Each keeps its own epoch. Proven fail-fast rather than asserted: with a template error planted, script/cibuild exited 1 in 0.630s and the main image build never started — zero check epoch lines in the entire log, so nothing waited behind a Hugo-from-source build.

5. Undisclosed REPO_POLICIES.md:102-168 divergence — added

The commit body now states both divergences. The second reads: REPO_POLICIES.md:102-168 requires a separate lint stage whose result the build stage depends on through COPY --from=lint /src/go.sum /dev/null, on the stated grounds that without the edge "the build stage would not wait for lint to finish and a lint failure might not fail the overall build"; no such edge exists here, because the lint is its own file and its own build, sequenced by script/cibuild rather than by BuildKit. Both sections are noted as superseded upstream by 12e8db8 in sneak/prompts (sneak/prompts#34), which deletes the Go multistage lint stage and its ordering trick for the same reason. The Go lint stage was not re-added.


Non-blocking items

  • Offline regression — dissolved by finding 1, as predicted. script/fmt-check is back on the host and reuses ~/.npm/_npx. One residual, stated plainly rather than left implicit: the main Dockerfile's RUN script/fmt-check sits below the CHECK_EPOCH guard, so it re-fetches prettier from the registry on every image build. That is not new — the pre-f5761b6 RUN make check did exactly the same — and it applies only to the image build, not to make check or the pre-commit hook.
  • Dangling image per untagged build — fixed, and more thoroughly than by tagging. script/lint now builds with --output type=cacheonly: the build is run for its exit status, not for an image, so nothing is exported at all. Tagging would only have converted the leak from one dangling image per run into one dangling image per run plus a tag, since the cache-busted lint layer produces a new image ID every time. Measured: a script/lint run bracketed by a set-diff of docker images -f dangling=true -q produced one new ID, which docker inspect attributed to another concurrent session (node base, WorkingDir=/app, NODE_VERSION=22.22.0) and not to this build. The build cache is untouched — RUN script/bootstrap still comes back CACHED — and failures still propagate (empty epoch and a failing lint both exit 1 under cacheonly). This is a deliberate deviation from the canonical script/lint's bare docker build; on this host there were already 741 dangling images when the rework started, so it earns its keep. The main image build in script/cibuild and script/docker still exports, correctly — script/docker produces the tagged artifact and that is its purpose.
  • Pre-commit cold cost — documented. script/check's header now says that the first lint on a machine with no cached script/bootstrap layer compiles the pinned Hugo from source, that this cost falls on the pre-commit hook too, and that later runs reuse the layer. The README says the same in the usage section. Measured here: cold script/lint 68.6s on a host with a warm Go module cache, warm script/lint 0.849s, make check 3.9s end to end.

Nothing I disagree with

All five blocking findings were accepted as written. One point of interpretation worth naming: finding 2 as phrased could be read as putting the format check only in the image, but script/check still runs it on the host too, so the pre-commit gate does not require a Docker daemon for formatting — only for the lint. That matches canonical and I read it as the intent.

Full re-verification

Complete evidence is in the PR body's 25b6c0a section. Summary: two consecutive script/lint runs on an unchanged tree both executed hugo for real with distinct epochs and script/bootstrap CACHED (second run 0.849s, no lint layer ever CACHED); the no---target whole-file build lints; a bare argument-less build fails closed on the guard; negative controls for the container lint and the host format check both failed with their specific finding and both went clean on revert; make check (3.9s), script/docker (10.3s) and script/cibuild (11.5s) all exit 0 with every check layer observed executing; script/cibuild fails fast in 0.630s on a planted lint error. make fmt leaves the tree unchanged. The deploy path was checked as a diff, not inferred: .gitea/, script/bootstrap, script/test and .dockerignore are byte-identical to main at 7d7bec5. No prune of any kind was run; every invalidation was scoped to a single build through its own build argument.

Regression test — the exact invocation the canonical `script/lint` uses, no `--target`, now genuinely lints: ``` #12 [7/7] RUN echo "lint epoch: rw38probe-1786367753851078619" && hugo --minify --printPathWarnings #12 0.224 lint epoch: rw38probe-1786367753851078619 #12 0.260 Start building sites … #12 0.260 hugo v0.164.0 linux/amd64 BuildDate=unknown #12 0.277 Total in 19 ms #12 DONE 0.3s ``` The header's "a successful build IS a clean lint" claim is now true for every invocation of the file, not just one caller's. ### 4. `script/cibuild` ordering — fixed `script/lint` first, then the main image build. Each keeps its own epoch. Proven fail-fast rather than asserted: with a template error planted, `script/cibuild` exited 1 in **0.630s** and the main image build never started — zero `check epoch` lines in the entire log, so nothing waited behind a Hugo-from-source build. ### 5. Undisclosed `REPO_POLICIES.md:102-168` divergence — added The commit body now states both divergences. The second reads: `REPO_POLICIES.md:102-168` requires a separate lint stage whose result the build stage depends on through `COPY --from=lint /src/go.sum /dev/null`, on the stated grounds that without the edge "the build stage would not wait for lint to finish and a lint failure might not fail the overall build"; no such edge exists here, because the lint is its own file and its own build, sequenced by `script/cibuild` rather than by BuildKit. Both sections are noted as superseded upstream by `12e8db8` in `sneak/prompts` (https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/prompts/pulls/34), which deletes the Go multistage lint stage and its ordering trick for the same reason. The Go lint stage was not re-added. --- ## Non-blocking items - **Offline regression** — dissolved by finding 1, as predicted. `script/fmt-check` is back on the host and reuses `~/.npm/_npx`. One residual, stated plainly rather than left implicit: the main `Dockerfile`'s `RUN script/fmt-check` sits below the `CHECK_EPOCH` guard, so it re-fetches prettier from the registry on every image build. That is not new — the pre-`f5761b6` `RUN make check` did exactly the same — and it applies only to the image build, not to `make check` or the pre-commit hook. - **Dangling image per untagged build** — fixed, and more thoroughly than by tagging. `script/lint` now builds with `--output type=cacheonly`: the build is run for its exit status, not for an image, so nothing is exported at all. Tagging would only have converted the leak from one dangling image per run into one dangling image per run plus a tag, since the cache-busted lint layer produces a new image ID every time. Measured: a `script/lint` run bracketed by a set-diff of `docker images -f dangling=true -q` produced one new ID, which `docker inspect` attributed to another concurrent session (node base, `WorkingDir=/app`, `NODE_VERSION=22.22.0`) and not to this build. The build cache is untouched — `RUN script/bootstrap` still comes back `CACHED` — and failures still propagate (empty epoch and a failing lint both exit 1 under `cacheonly`). This is a deliberate deviation from the canonical `script/lint`'s bare `docker build`; on this host there were already 741 dangling images when the rework started, so it earns its keep. The main image build in `script/cibuild` and `script/docker` still exports, correctly — `script/docker` produces the tagged artifact and that is its purpose. - **Pre-commit cold cost** — documented. `script/check`'s header now says that the first lint on a machine with no cached `script/bootstrap` layer compiles the pinned Hugo from source, that this cost falls on the pre-commit hook too, and that later runs reuse the layer. The README says the same in the usage section. Measured here: cold `script/lint` 68.6s on a host with a warm Go module cache, warm `script/lint` 0.849s, `make check` 3.9s end to end. --- ## Nothing I disagree with All five blocking findings were accepted as written. One point of interpretation worth naming: finding 2 as phrased could be read as putting the format check *only* in the image, but `script/check` still runs it on the host too, so the pre-commit gate does not require a Docker daemon for formatting — only for the lint. That matches canonical and I read it as the intent. ## Full re-verification Complete evidence is in the PR body's `25b6c0a` section. Summary: two consecutive `script/lint` runs on an unchanged tree both executed hugo for real with distinct epochs and `script/bootstrap` `CACHED` (second run 0.849s, no lint layer ever `CACHED`); the no-`--target` whole-file build lints; a bare argument-less build fails closed on the guard; negative controls for the container lint and the host format check both failed with their specific finding and both went clean on revert; `make check` (3.9s), `script/docker` (10.3s) and `script/cibuild` (11.5s) all exit 0 with every check layer observed executing; `script/cibuild` fails fast in 0.630s on a planted lint error. `make fmt` leaves the tree unchanged. The deploy path was checked as a diff, not inferred: `.gitea/`, `script/bootstrap`, `script/test` and `.dockerignore` are byte-identical to `main` at `7d7bec5`. No prune of any kind was run; every invalidation was scoped to a single build through its own build argument.

Independent re-review — 25b6c0a only (407b0a0 out of scope)

Verdict: PASS — merge-ready.

Reviewed in an own fresh clone at next = 25b6c0a. CI success on the head commit (1m23s); next is a fast-forward of main at 7d7bec5 (2 commits, no conflicts). make fmt leaves the tree unchanged; make check green (1.4s warm) with all three checks observed executing.


The --output type=cacheonly deviation — attacked, holds

Every property it could have broken was tested, not reasoned about:

  • Still gates. Planted {{ .ThisFieldDoesNotExistRev2E1 }} in themes/loravega/layouts/index.html: script/lint exit 1 with hugo's own can't evaluate field ThisFieldDoesNotExistRev2E1 in type *hugolib.pageState, attributed to Dockerfile.lint:61. Guard fails closed under cacheonly too — both a bare argument-less build and --build-arg CHECK_EPOCH="" die on RUN [ -n "$CHECK_EPOCH" ] || exit 1, exit 1.
  • Still executes every run. Three separate script/lint invocations on an unchanged tree, distinct epochs echoed, real hugo output and page table each time; the lint layer was never CACHED in any run. RUN script/bootstrap CACHED throughout. No exporting/naming to line appears in any lint build — nothing is exported.
  • Cold cache-sharing claim re-tested cold, not warm. The PR asserts the script/bootstrap layer is shared between the two images; its evidence was on a warm cache, which does not test whether a non-exporting build populates the cache for a later exporting one. I invalidated the layer key by appending a comment to script/bootstrap: script/lint then paid a genuine cold bootstrap (#8 [4/7] RUN script/bootstrap DONE 51.0s, real apk/go output), and the immediately following script/docker came back #8 [4/8] RUN script/bootstrap CACHED. The claim holds under cacheonly. Probe reverted.
  • Unstated benefit, larger than the one argued. The PR justifies cacheonly by the dangling-image leak. Measured here, the main image's exporting to image step is 121.8s; cacheonly removes an export of that class from every lint run, which dwarfs the leak argument.

Non-blocking finding — the BuildKit dependency is undocumented. --output is a buildx flag. Empirically, on this host (docker 29.7.2, buildx 0.36.1):

$ DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0 script/lint
DEPRECATED: The legacy builder is deprecated ...
unknown flag: --output
EXIT=125

A docker with no buildx plugin takes the same legacy-builder path, so this covers that case as well (removing the plugin from a shared host was not an option). This is not blocking: CI is green on 25b6c0a, and script/cibuild runs script/lint first under set -eu, so a green run proves script/lint exited 0 on the actual Gitea runner — the runner has buildx. And the failure mode is loud (exit 125, no lint claimed), never a false green. What is missing is a line saying so: script/check's header documents "needs a working docker daemon" and the cold-bootstrap cost, script/lint's header documents the cacheonly rationale, but neither says the build now requires BuildKit/buildx. Acceptable: one sentence in script/lint's cacheonly comment naming buildx as a prerequisite, so the unknown flag: --output failure is diagnosable.


Prior five findings — each confirmed fixed

  1. script/fmt-check back on the host: diff vs 7d7bec5 is comment-only, prettier@3.4.2 / '**/*.md' '**/*.css' --tab-width 4 --prose-wrap always byte-identical, CHECK_EPOCH generation gone.
  2. Main Dockerfile runs both — observed executing in one script/cibuild: #11 [7/8] RUN echo "check epoch: ..." && script/test and #12 [8/8] RUN script/fmt-checkAll matched files use Prettier code style! DONE 1.7s. Both gate: a planted over-long line in README.md failed the host script/fmt-check (exit 1) and failed script/docker at Dockerfile:56.
  3. Dockerfile.lint is single-stage; a whole-file docker build -f Dockerfile.lint . with the arg is exactly what script/lint now runs, and it genuinely lints (evidence above). No --target anywhere.
  4. script/cibuild fails fast — with the template error planted it exited 1 in 2.0s with zero check epoch lines in the log; the main image build never started.
  5. Both REPO_POLICIES.md divergences (:92 and :102-168) are stated in the commit body with the superseding upstream change linked.

Deploy path — cannot be affected

.gitea/, script/bootstrap, script/test, .dockerignore and the Makefile are byte-identical to main at 7d7bec5 (checked as a diff). deploy.yml runs script/bootstrap then script/test in an alpine container and touches no Dockerfile, no make check, no docker build. Additionally verified at the output layer rather than inferred: hugo --minify from 7d7bec5 and from 25b6c0a produce a byte-identical public/ tree (sha256 of every file). A merge changes nothing that gets published.

Anomalies that pass anyway

  • Dockerfile:56 RUN script/fmt-check carries no epoch of its own, unlike line 55. It is still uncacheable, because its parent layer's command string contains the per-invocation epoch and therefore yields a new layer ID every build. Confirmed rather than assumed: that step showed DONE, never CACHED, in three independent builds. Correct as written; noting it because it looks asymmetric.
  • README.md:96 says "Build any image through script/cibuild, script/docker or script/lint only" — under cacheonly, script/lint builds no image. Cosmetic, not worth a rework cycle.

Checked and clean

Every comment in Dockerfile, Dockerfile.lint, script/* and README.md describes what the code now does — no stale claim survives, including the --printPathWarnings wording, which correctly says "reports" collisions rather than "fails on" them. No make check claim remains anywhere except where it is explaining its own absence. Commit message ends (closes #38); no attribution trailers and no vendor references anywhere in the diff or tree; inclusive terminology; naming and idiom consistent with the surrounding scripts; no scope creep (the TODO.md Future Steps reordering is the manager-directed fix for the defect carried in from 407b0a0, and the new Next Step points at startable work, #34). The known --printPathWarnings limitation is correctly disclosed as pre-existing and tracked at #25 .

Disclosures

  • This account cannot read the Actions job log (403: user should be the owner of the repo), so I did not read CI output confirming the lint layer executed on the runner. I established it structurally instead: script/cibuild runs script/lint first under set -eu, every entrypoint mints a fresh epoch per invocation, and the status is success in 1m23s on 25b6c0a. CI-side layer execution remains asserted by the author, not observed by me.
  • The "no buildx" case was simulated with DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0 rather than by removing the plugin, since the host is shared. Both routes reach the same legacy builder that rejects --output.
  • The cold-cache probe deliberately invalidated the script/bootstrap layer for one build pair by editing script/bootstrap; it was reverted, and lora.vegas:latest was rebuilt from the clean tree so the host is left as found. No prune of any kind was run at any point; every invalidation was scoped to a single build. The review clone is clean; nothing was committed or pushed.

Manager note. Re-review PASSED. Merging to main.

Merging now rather than accumulating, deliberately: the reviewer built public/ from 7d7bec5 and from 25b6c0a and sha256'd every file — byte-identical. So this merge fires a real Cloudflare Pages deploy that publishes nothing new, which is the lowest-risk moment available to exercise a deploy path that has broken before, and it puts the static/_headers from #14 in front of production so its open "unverified until the next deploy" item can finally be closed. Deferring only makes the eventual merge larger and less inspectable.

One gap accepted rather than reworked: script/lint requires buildx (DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0 gives unknown flag: --output, exit 125). It fails loudly and never as a false green, and CI is green on 25b6c0a, so it is a documentation gap, not a defect. Filed as #40 .
