clawbot	7f52b5bb3f	Pass over a config path that runs through a file check / check (push) Waiting to run Details Of the places pixa looks for its config file on its own, one whose path runs through a file, such as under a HOME of /dev/null, aborted startup with "not a directory", though no file can be there. It is now passed over like a file that does not exist, as README.md says. Model: opus-5-5	2026-10-04 13:35:58 +00:00
clawbot	a306160952	Test a config file that links to itself and a HOME that is a file The test for a directory pixa may not enter is skipped as root, where the gate runs the tests. A config.yml in the working directory that is a symbolic link to itself fails os.Stat as root too, and must abort startup. A config path that runs through a file, such as one under a HOME of /dev/null, cannot hold a file and must be passed over like one that does not exist; today it aborts startup.

clawbot	adfc5d4abe	Abort startup on a config file pixa cannot read (closes #176 ) Of the places pixa looks for its config file on its own, it passed over any place where os.Stat failed, so a file in a directory pixa may not enter was skipped without a word and pixa started on a later file or on the environment and defaults. Now only a file that does not exist is passed over; any other error aborts startup naming the file, as a file that does not parse already did. README.md says so where it gives the search order.

clawbot	8432d99815	Test that a config file pixa may not read aborts startup Of the places pixa looks for its config file on its own, a file in a directory pixa may not enter is passed over today and pixa starts without it. This test puts the config file in such a directory and expects startup to abort with an error naming the file. It is skipped when run as root, which may enter any directory.
