script/cibuild ran a bare "docker build .". The Dockerfile does "COPY . ."
and then runs the checks, so on an unchanged tree every check layer was a
cache hit: the suite never executed and the build still exited 0. A green
from script/cibuild did not mean the checks had passed, only that they had
passed at some point in the past.
Declare "ARG CHECK_EPOCH" in each stage that runs a check, positioned below
the dependency layers and immediately above the first check, and have
script/cibuild pass a fresh "$(date +%s)" on every invocation. A changed
build arg invalidates every layer below its declaration, so the checks
always execute while the base images, "go mod download" and the "yarn
install" in mdfmt stay cached.
All three check-running stages are covered: lint (fmt-check-go, lint),
mdfmt (prettier --check) and builder (test). ARG is scoped per stage, so a
stage without its own declaration would keep serving a cached pass and be
indistinguishable from a working fix at the exit code.
"--no-cache" was not used: it would also discard "go mod download" and the
yarn install, for no additional guarantee.
The README's build-status claim is accurate again and now says why.
Adds .prettierrc and .prettierignore, a single script/prettier entrypoint shared by fmt and fmt-check so the two cannot drift, and prettier 3.9.6 pinned by yarn.lock integrity hash.
Markdown formatting is now gated in the authoritative Docker build via a new mdfmt stage, since the golangci-lint image has no node. REPO_POLICIES.md is ignored so local tooling cannot drift it from upstream.
Removes the || true that made the previous prettier invocation unable to fail.
Adopts golangci-lint v2.12.2 and the canonical .golangci.yml (default: all), and fixes all resulting findings across the tree.
Two intended behavior changes: absent MFFilePath.Mtime is handled explicitly in freshen, list and export rather than dereferenced (main panicked); gpg positional key IDs now follow an explicit -- end-of-options marker.
All twelve reworded user-visible error messages restored to byte-identical parity with main and pinned by tests.
## Summary
Performs a design and status review of the codebase and adds a comprehensive TODO section to `README.md` listing remaining work for a 1.0 release.
### What changed
- **README.md**: Added a `TODO: Remaining Work for 1.0` section covering:
- **7 design questions** requiring @sneak's input before implementation (manifest type export, Go module path, GPG vs pure-Go crypto, format framing, etc.) — each with an answer field for inline decisions
- **Implementation tasks** organized by category: repo infrastructure, format & correctness, library, CLI, testing & robustness, documentation, and release checklist
- Updated build status section (removed stale Drone CI badge, replaced with description of current Docker-based CI)
- **TODO.md**: Removed — items integrated into README TODO section
- **AGENTS.md**: Updated reference from `TODO.md` to README TODO section
### Design review findings
**What works well:**
- Core library (Builder, Scanner, Checker) is solid with good test coverage
- Format specification is well-designed (protobuf + zstd, multihash, deterministic serialization)
- CLI covers all major operations (gen, check, list, export, freshen, fetch)
- Test suite is thorough — builder, scanner, checker, GPG, CLI integration, corruption detection
- afero abstraction enables clean testing without filesystem side effects
**Key gaps for 1.0:**
- Missing repo infrastructure (`.golangci.yml`, `.editorconfig`, CI workflow)
- `manifest` type is unexported — consumers can't use it in their own type declarations
- GPG signing shells out to `gpg` subprocess — fragile and may not be installed
- Go module path inconsistency between `go.mod` and proto `go_package`
- `fetch` command lacks retry logic and has no HTTP timeout
- Missing fuzz tests for untrusted input deserialization
- Freshen CLI command has incomplete integration test coverage

Follow-up to [PR #51](#51) — addresses sneak's review comment requesting Gitea Actions to run the checks.
## Changes
Adds `.gitea/workflows/check.yml` that runs `docker build .` on every push, matching the standard CI pattern used across all `sneak/*` repos (identical to [chat](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/chat/src/branch/main/.gitea/workflows/check.yml) and [dnswatcher](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/dnswatcher/src/branch/main/.gitea/workflows/check.yml)).
Since the Dockerfile already runs `make check` (fmt-check, lint, test), a successful build implies all checks pass.
The `actions/checkout` action is pinned by SHA (`@11bd71901bbe5b1630ceea73d27597364c9af683` = v4.2.2) per REPO_POLICIES.
## Verification
`docker build .` passes clean.

Closes #49
`.index.mf` is a generated manifest file produced at runtime by `mfer gen`. It was committed to the repo but should not be tracked in version control.
Changes:
- `git rm .index.mf` to remove it from tracking
- Added `.index.mf` to `.gitignore` to prevent accidental re-commits

Closes#39
Splits the Dockerfile into a dedicated lint stage using the `golangci/golangci-lint` image directly, rather than copying the binary into the builder stage.
## Changes
### Dockerfile
- **Lint stage** (`AS lint`): Uses the pre-built `golangci/golangci-lint` image (pinned by sha256) to run `make fmt-check` and `make lint`. This is a self-contained stage with its own `go mod download` and source copy.
- **Builder stage** (`AS builder`): Runs only `make test` and the final binary build. No longer needs golangci-lint installed.
- **Stage dependency**: `COPY --from=lint /src/go.sum /dev/null` forces BuildKit to always execute the lint stage (without this, unused stages are silently skipped).
- Both stages touch `mfer/mf.pb.go` to prevent make from trying to regenerate via protoc.
With BuildKit, the lint and builder stages run in parallel after their shared `go mod download` layers complete, so lint/formatting failures surface much faster without blocking on test execution.
### Makefile
- Added `lint` to the `check` target prereqs: `check: test lint fmt-check` (was `check: test fmt-check`), matching the [REPO_POLICIES](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/prompts/raw/branch/main/prompts/REPO_POLICIES.md) requirement.

Replace 150M SHA-256 iteration key-stretching with a single hash.
Remove all references to iteration counts, timing (~5-10s), and
key-stretching from code and documentation.
The seed flag is retained for deterministic UUID generation, but
now derives the UUID with a single SHA-256 hash instead of the
unnecessary iterative approach.
Adds a --seed CLI flag to 'generate' that derives a deterministic UUID
from the seed value by hashing it 1,000,000,000 times with SHA-256.
This makes manifest generation fully reproducible when the same seed
and input files are provided.
- Builder.SetSeed(seed) method for programmatic use
- deriveSeedUUID() extracted for testability
- MFER_SEED env var also supported
- Test with reduced iteration count for speed
Sort file entries by path (lexicographic, byte-order) before
serialization to ensure deterministic output. Add fixedUUID support
for testing reproducibility, and a test asserting byte-identical
output from two runs with the same input.
Closes#23
Remove obsolete Drone CI config. Added to .gitignore.
.golangci.yaml was already removed from next branch.

go.mod specified go 1.17 but protobuf generated code (mf.pb.go) uses
go1.18+ features (any) and go1.20+ features (unsafe.StringData).
Updated to go 1.22 and ran go mod tidy.
FindExtraFiles now skips hidden files/directories and manifest files
(index.mf, .index.mf) when looking for extra files. Previously it would
report these as 'extra' even though they are intentionally excluded from
manifests by default, making --no-extra-files unusable.
Also includes IsHiddenPath fix for '.' (needed by the new filtering).
path.Clean(".") returns "." which starts with a dot, causing IsHiddenPath
to incorrectly treat the current directory as hidden. Add explicit checks
for "." and "/" before the dot-prefix check.
Fixed in both mfer/scanner.go and internal/scanner/scanner.go.
Remove unused `internal/scanner/` and `internal/checker/` packages. The CLI already uses `mfer.Scanner` and `mfer.Checker` from the `mfer/` package directly, so these were dead code.
