Linting now happens in one place only: a new root Dockerfile.lint copies
the repo into the digest-pinned node image already used by Dockerfile and
runs eslint and prettier as build steps, so a successful build is a clean
lint. script/lint is reduced to building it, which also works where the
docker daemon is remote and bind mounts are impossible. No host lint path
survives: the "lint" script is gone from package.json, so there is no
second, unpinned way to get a lint verdict.
Caching is waived for lint, because a lint build over an unchanged tree
returns success in well under a second having linted nothing. LINT_EPOCH
is the cache buster and it fails closed exactly as CHECK_EPOCH does: an
unset ARG is the empty string, which is a perfectly stable cache key, so
the guard rejects it and a bare `docker build -f Dockerfile.lint .` errors
out instead of serving a green it did not earn. Both linters sit below the
guard, so a fresh epoch forces them to execute while the bootstrap and
dependency layers above stay cached.
That makes script/lint a docker build, which nothing inside a container
may call. script/check calls script/lint, so the Dockerfile image can no
longer run make check: the lint stage and its COPY --from=lint ordering
hack are deleted, and the remaining stage runs make test and make build
under the existing CHECK_EPOCH guard. script/cibuild is now the composite
gate and builds the lint image first, so a lint failure is reported before
the slower suite runs.
The .dockerignore exclusions are unchanged and still apply to the lint
build, including the .claude/ exclusion (eslint's flat config does not
ignore dot-directories, so a nested worktree in the context would be
linted) and the deliberate exception that keeps .gitignore in the context
for prettier. A new test asserts no per-Dockerfile ignore file shadows the
root one for either image, and test/packaging/lint-docker.test.ts asserts
the whole shape: the docker-only lint path, the digest pin, manifests
copied before sources, the fail-closed guard with both linters below it,
the absence of a lint stage or make check in Dockerfile, and the build
order in script/cibuild.
The image build reported a green it had not earned. `script/cibuild` is a
bare `docker build .`, and with `COPY . .` followed by `RUN make check`,
an unchanged tree served that layer from cache: the suite never ran and
the build still exited 0, while the script's header comment asserted the
opposite.
CHECK_EPOCH, passed by `script/cibuild` and `script/docker`, changes the
cache key of the check and build layers on every invocation. It is
guarded, because an unset ARG is the empty string and therefore a stable
key: without the guard a plain `docker build .` — the command the policy
names, and the one anyone debugging types — would still get the false
green. A missing argument is now a hard failure rather than a silent
degradation to the behaviour the epoch was added to prevent.
The Dockerfile is now two stages: `fmt-check` and `lint` run first, and
the check stage takes a `COPY --from=lint` dependency on them, so a
formatting mistake fails the build in seconds instead of racing the
suite to the finish. Both stages stay pinned to the same digest.
The remaining fixes are one-liners that had made the target unusable:
`script/projectname` still printed the pre-rename name, so `make docker`
tagged its image after a name this project dropped in May;
`script/bootstrap` installed without fetching apt's package lists, which
cannot work on a Debian base; and `.dockerignore` had drifted far enough
from `.gitignore` to ship a ~100 MB compiled binary and any agent
worktree under `.claude/` into the build context. The second of those is
a correctness problem, not a size one — vitest globs a copied worktree's
tests alongside the real ones and runs the suite twice over. `.gitignore`
itself stays in the context, because prettier reads it as a default
ignore file and dropping it would change what `make fmt-check` sees.
rootDir was ./src while include also matched bin/**/*, which is TS6059: tsc
refuses to emit at all when a compiled file sits outside rootDir. rootDir is
now the repository root, which is the smallest change that makes the two
agree and leaves the source layout the README documents alone. Output keeps
the shape of the source tree, so main and types move to dist/src/index.js and
dist/src/index.d.ts while bin.quak stays at dist/bin/quak.js. The alternative,
moving the CLI body into src/ behind a shim in bin/, would hold main at
dist/index.js at the cost of churning the CLI and contradicting the layout
diagram in the README.
Clearing TS6059 exposed two type errors that had never been reached, because
the config error aborts before checking: StateAddress was read as a namespace
member off the default import, and the secretstream pull was called without
the additional-data argument, which libsodium does not make optional. The type
is now taken from the module's named export and the pull passes null for ad,
matching the null already passed on the push side in encryptBlob. Neither
changes what runs.
noEmitOnError stops a failed build from leaving output behind. It emitted
despite the error before, which is how a stale bin/quak.js came to sit next to
bin/quak.ts in a working tree, where eslint then read it and failed make check
on a generated file.
script/build compiles and then checks that the files package.json advertises
are among the ones the compiler wrote, since tsc knows nothing about the
manifest and a green build could still ship a package whose main resolves to
nothing. It also sets the executable bit on the bin entries, which tsc does
not carry over from the source even though it does copy the shebang. The
Makefile target is now a shim over it, as the other targets are, and
package.json's build script points at it so yarn build gets the same checks.
The Dockerfile runs make build after make check, so a branch that does not
compile cannot reach main. What make check itself runs is unchanged.
package.json gains a quak script, so the yarn quak commands the README's
Getting Started block has always listed resolve to the built CLI.
Non-server image: brings up the dev environment and runs make check, per
repo policy on Dockerfiles for non-server repos. Base image hash matches
the sneak/prompts template (node 22-alpine, 2026-02-22).
