sneak 7b55c444ae Keep in-repo agent scratch out of the build context and out of git (closes #27)
The canonical .dockerignore and .gitignore both omitted the in-repo agent
scratch directory, which holds one worktree per in-flight agent, so under
`COPY . .` an entire extra checkout of the repo reached the image. The
two entries are deliberately different shapes: anchored in .dockerignore,
where the `**/` form would also delete a legitimately named nested
directory, and unanchored in .gitignore, where a pattern already matches
at every depth. Anchoring leaves a gap where agents run in
subdirectories, stated in the vendored file itself. The second half is
the consequence of excluding .git: `git describe` in a build stage yields
an empty version without erroring, so the version is now computed on the
host and passed in.

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

Next Step

Finish the two draft prompt documents in the working tree and commit them: prompts/FIXUP_CLEAN.md (currently a near-empty stub) and prompts/FIXUP_REPORT.md (a rough draft). Write the missing content, run make fmt so they pass fmt-check, and commit.

Completed Steps

  • 2026-09-08: Kept in-repo agent scratch out of the Docker build context and out of version control: .claude/ is one full checkout of the repo per in-flight agent, and under COPY . . all of it was reaching the image. Also closed the consequence of excluding .gitgit describe yields an empty version inside a build stage without failing, so script/docker and script/cibuild now compute the version on the host and pass --build-arg VERSION.
  • 2026-09-08: Closed the secret exposure in the canonical .dockerignore: a local .env, *.pem or *.key was reaching the build context under COPY . ., invisible to every git-based check. The patterns are now written to .dockerignore's own semantics — **/-prefixed so they hold at every depth, case-folded with character ranges — and REPO_POLICIES.md requires verifying by enumerating the image rather than by reading the file.
  • 2026-09-08: Made a pinned tool in script/bootstrap actually reach the host. REPO_POLICIES.md now requires comparing the installed version against the pin rather than testing PATH presence, and re-resolving the binary through PATH after installing, so a version bump cannot be a silent no-op and a shadowed install cannot report success.
  • 2026-09-08: Closed the false green in the canonical CI gate: script/cibuild and script/docker now build with --no-cache, so the Dockerfile's check layers cannot be served from cache on an unchanged tree, and the text claiming a bare docker build . proves the checks ran is corrected in REPO_POLICIES.md, both checklists and the Go styleguide.
  • 2026-09-03: Added -count=1 to both go test invocations in the canonical Go make test example in REPO_POLICIES.md, so the target cannot report a cached pass it did not earn, and documented that Go's test-result cache is a second, independent cache stacked below the Docker layer cache.
  • 2026-08-07: Set the canonical .golangci.yml to the org-standard v2-schema config already deployed byte-identical across the org's Go repos (settings under linters.settings so thresholds like lll/funlen/cyclop/dupl actually apply under golangci-lint v2). Recorded the canonical golangci-lint version (v2.12.2, commit-pinned) in REPO_POLICIES.md.
  • 2026-03-20: Strengthened constructor naming and Params struct rules in the Go styleguide.
  • 2026-03-18: Documented fail-fast Dockerfile lint stage and conditional -v test rerun patterns in REPO_POLICIES.md.
  • 2026-03-11: Added HTTP service hardening policy for 1.0 releases.
  • 2026-03-10: Added policy: no build artifacts in repos.
  • 2026-03-04: Added LLM prose tells reference and copyediting checklist, then several self-applied revision passes.
  • 2026-02-28: Expanded the pre-1.0 schema migration rule; added clawpub reference.
  • 2026-02-23: Added Go style rules (no type-only packages, Stringer for string-based types); template repos section in README.
  • 2026-02-22: Initial policy corpus: REPO_POLICIES.md, code styleguides (general, Go, JS, Python), repo checklists, CI policy, hash pinning, Go HTTP server conventions, repo scaffolding.

Future Steps

  • Finish, format, and commit FIXUP_CLEAN.md and FIXUP_REPORT.md (the Next Step).
  • Commit this TODO.md at the repo root; it is the last missing policy file.
  • Decide the fate of untracked resume.sh: commit it or delete it.
  • Add more prompt templates for common development tasks (from README TODO).
