check / check (push) Failing after 1s
Pin CLI error messages by driving their real call sites (closes #87)
errmsg_test.go now invokes the functions that actually emit each
user-visible message (findManifest, verifyRequiredSigner,
collectInputPaths, generateManifestOperation, openManifestReader,
fetchManifestOperation, downloadFile, finishDownload, sanitizePath,
verifyDownloadedHash) and asserts on what they return. No production
format string is restated in the test, so rewording a message now
fails the suite instead of passing against a copied literal.

The signer-mismatch message needs a signed manifest, so it is driven
against one signed by a throwaway gpg key and skipped where gpg is
absent, as the repo's other signing tests are.

Freshen's mtime-presence test now gives the scanned file an epoch
mtime, so an absent manifest mtime misread as the epoch is
distinguishable and the test fails if recordEntry's nil guard is
dropped.

# 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
pre-1.0. No git tags. README section "TODO: Remaining Work for 1.0" lists open
design questions and implementation tasks; policy compliance work is in flight
and unmerged.
# Next Step
Work through the remaining compliance items folded from the 2026-07-02 audit
(the first group under Future Steps): `.editorconfig`, `.gitignore` coverage,
gofumpt-based `fmt-check`, README "Getting Started", and the rest.
`.golangci.yml` and `TODO.md` are tracked and committed as of 2026-08-07, so the
only thing left of the `chore/align-repo-policies` branch is the list below.
# Completed Steps
- 2026-09-21: pinned CLI error messages by driving their real call sites in
`internal/cli/errmsg_test.go`, and made the freshen mtime-presence test
distinguish an absent mtime from the epoch (#87)
- 2026-08-09: added `.prettierrc`/`.prettierignore`, gave `script/fmt` and
`script/fmt-check` one shared prettier file set via `script/prettier`, dropped
the `|| true` that hid prettier failures, and added a node-based Dockerfile
stage so a markdown formatting violation fails `docker build .` (#69)
- 2026-08-07: updated golangci-lint to v2.12.2 everywhere it is pinned
(`Makefile`, `Dockerfile`), added the canonical `.golangci.yml`
(`default: all`), and fixed all resulting lint findings across the codebase
- 2026-07-07 Adopted scripts-to-rule-them-all: `script/` entrypoints, Makefile
shims, README Entrypoints section
- 2026-07-03: aligned repo tooling, docs, and config with standardized policies
(7d9a138, on chore/align-repo-policies, unmerged)
- 2026-06-28: moved to standardized repo policies (#56, on main)
- 2026-04-07: added 1.0 roadmap as README TODO section, removed old TODO.md
(#54)
- 2026-03-20: added Gitea Actions CI workflow (#53)
- 2026-03-17: added REPO_POLICIES.md, renamed CLAUDE.md to AGENTS.md (#51);
removed committed .index.mf (#52)
- 2026-03-15: split Dockerfile with pre-built golangci-lint stage for faster CI
(#45)
- 2026-03-01: 1.0 quality polish: code review, tests, bug fixes, docs (#32)
- 2026-02-20: deterministic file ordering in Builder.Build() (#28); removed
committed vendor/modcache archives (#35)
- 2026-02-08: added --seed flag for deterministic manifest UUID
# Future Steps
- Compliance (fold of TODO.md audit 2026-07-02; verify which items the in-flight
branch already closes, then check off):
- Add .editorconfig (canonical copy from sneak/prompts)
- Make .gitignore cover secrets (.env, _.key, _.pem), OS files (.DS_Store),
and editor files (_.swp, _~)
- Make fmt-check/lint verify with gofumpt, not gofmt -l, so `make check`
matches what `make fmt` writes
- Add README "Getting Started" section with copy-pasteable install/usage
block
- Move FORMAT.md from repo root to docs/ and update the AGENTS.md reference
- Pin Makefile-installed Go tools (`protoc-gen-go@v1.28.1`,
`golangci-lint@v2.12.2`) by module hash, not mutable tag
- Set `make test` timeout to 30s (currently 10s)
- Add explicit README "Rationale" heading (content exists under other
names); name the author in the README Description first line
- Reconcile root-level AGENTS.md with directory-hygiene policy (keep or
relocate)
- Add a `make build` target
- Rewrite `make hooks` to use printf or a heredoc instead of non-portable
`echo '...\n...'`
- Answer the 14 owner design questions in the README 1.0 roadmap:
- Format: simplify MFFileChecksum; store file mode; drop atime; specify path
normalization rules; version byte after magic; length-prefix after magic
- Signatures: hash covers compressed or uncompressed data; sign raw bytes vs
hex canonical string; detached .mf.sig support; GPG subprocess vs pure-Go
crypto
- Implementation: deterministic manifests by default; consolidate duplicate
scanner/checker implementations; export the manifest type; canonical Go
module path for 1.0
- Format and correctness:
- Resolve proto go_package vs go.mod module path inconsistency
- Specify and validate path invariants (UTF-8, forward-slash, relative, no
.., no leading /)
- Remove or deprecate atime; reserve mode field; add version byte (all
pending design answers)
- Write a standalone format specification document
- Library:
- Delete internal/scanner and internal/checker; consolidate on the mfer/
package versions (pending design answer)
- Add decompression size limit via io.LimitReader in deserializeInner()
- Fix errors.Is dead code in checker; make AddFile verify totalRead == size
- Export manifest type or define a public interface (pending)
- Replace GPG subprocess with pure-Go crypto (pending); add timeouts to
remaining subprocess calls
- CLI:
- Kebab-case primary flag names; fix fetch URL construction with
url.JoinPath; add http.Client timeout and retry with backoff to fetch;
rate-limit Checker progress output; add --deterministic flag or default;
wire top-level --version properly
- Testing:
- Fuzz NewManifestFromReader; end-to-end tests for freshen and fetch
- Documentation:
- Promote docs/FORMAT.md as primary spec reference; audit error messages;
document the signature scheme fully
- Release:
- Finalize module path, bump version constant, SemVer --version output, tag
v1.0.0
