Per the owner ruling, the linter runs inside a container invoked
through the script/ entrypoint and is never installed on a host. A new
root Dockerfile.lint COPYs the repo into the digest-pinned
golangci/golangci-lint:v2.12.2 image and runs `golangci-lint config
verify` and `golangci-lint run` as build steps, so a successful build
IS a clean lint. script/lint is reduced to building it, which also
works when the docker daemon is remote and bind mounts are impossible.
script/bootstrap loses the `go install`, the pin constants, the
version parser and verify_golangci_lint outright rather than being
hardened: with nothing linting on the host, the $GOPATH/bin versus
PATH shadowing problem those existed to diagnose has no subject. It
keeps the git/make/go presence checks and `go mod download`, and warns
rather than fails when docker is absent.
Two traps.
A lint build on an unchanged tree returns success in well under a
second having run no linter, which is #32 and #39 over again. Caching
is waived by ruling, so Dockerfile.lint carries ARG CHECK_EPOCH
referenced inside every gate RUN -- BuildKit hashes the expanded
command, not the declaration, so a declared but unreferenced ARG
invalidates nothing -- and script/lint passes "$(date +%s)-$$". The
PID is in that value because two lint runs land inside the same second
easily and a bare epoch would cache the second one.
Nothing inside an image build may shell out to docker. The main
Dockerfile's lint stage therefore invokes golangci-lint directly
instead of `make lint`, and its build stage runs `make test` and
`make fmt-check` instead of the `make check` aggregate, which reaches
script/lint. Those two remain `make` invocations rather than the bare
scripts because the Makefile's `export CGO_ENABLED = 0` only applies
to what it invokes, and today's `make check` gets it.
COPY --from=lint /usr/bin/golangci-lint is replaced by
COPY --from=lint /src/go.sum /dev/null. The copied binary was the only
edge forcing BuildKit to finish linting before the build stage starts;
dropping it without replacing the edge would have ended fail-fast
linting silently under a still-green build. That no-op copy is the
ordering edge canonical REPO_POLICIES.md prescribes. Nothing in the
build stage runs the linter any more, so the binary itself is not
wanted there, and ENV PATH=/home/builder/go/bin:$PATH goes with the
`go install` that justified it.
script/verify-linter-pin is retired -- deleted along with its README
entry -- because both of its subjects ceased to exist in this same
change: it compared a linter binary against GOLANGCI_LINT_VERSION in
script/bootstrap, and there is now neither a binary crossing between
stages nor a version pin in bootstrap. The drift it guarded has not
gone away, it has moved. The linter is still pinned twice, now as the
FROM line of Dockerfile.lint and the FROM line of the Dockerfile lint
stage, with nothing syncing them, which is exactly what #42 made a
build failure. Its replacement is one new script/verify-lint-image-pin
that compares those two references to each other and deliberately
restates neither pin: a hardcoded expected digest would be a third
copy and the same drift one file further out. It runs as a gate in
both files, so `make lint`, `make check` and `make docker` all catch
drift, and an unreadable reference is a hard failure rather than a
vacuous pass.
`golangci-lint config verify` is included per the ruling. The concern
about its unpinned live HTTPS schema fetch was measured rather than
assumed: under --network none the pinned binary both passes a valid
config and rejects an invalid one with the jsonschema error, so it
validates against a schema it embeds and linting needs no network
beyond pulling the image. The README states that rather than a
requirement that does not exist.
Verified. `make lint` green with every PATH directory containing a
golangci-lint removed and `command -v golangci-lint` empty. Two
consecutive script/lint runs on an untouched tree both executed the
linter, 27.7s and 28.7s in the lint step under distinct epochs with
the COPY layer CACHED above them. A planted unused variable failed
script/lint with that exact finding and failed `make docker` at the
lint stage with the build stage stopped before its COPY --from=lint,
then reverted clean. The drift guard fails on tag-only, digest-only
and unreadable-reference cases, naming both sides. `make check` green;
`make docker` green in 5m35s with all six gates executing and the test
gate reporting real coverage rather than a cached ok. In the builder
image with the Go test cache off, --user 0:0 still fails
TestScanHardlinkRunFailsTogether where the unprivileged user passes,
so the non-root quirk is intact.
`go install` writes into GOBIN (or GOPATH/bin), but the linter `make
lint` runs is whichever golangci-lint PATH resolves first. On a host
where a wrong-version binary sits ahead of that directory — a nix
profile, apt, brew, apk, a tarball in /usr/local/bin, or the
/usr/local/bin copy the Dockerfile builder stage makes — the install
landed behind the shadow, changed nothing the gate uses, and bootstrap
still printed "bootstrap complete" and exited 0. That leaves the local
gate linting against a different ruleset than CI while affirmatively
claiming otherwise, and every subsequent run reinstalls forever, so the
second run is never a no-op.
After installing, re-read the effective version. On a mismatch print
the resolved binary, the install directory and both versions to stderr
and exit non-zero. Do not reorder PATH or remove anyone's binary:
diagnose and stop.
Also:
- stop discarding `golangci-lint --version` stderr, so a present but
broken binary (missing shared library, wrong architecture) says why
instead of silently yielding the empty string and reinstalling on
every run forever. Only stdout is parsed, so the parse matrix is
unchanged.
- bound the `--version` call with timeout(1) where it exists, since
bootstrap now executes a binary it previously only located and a
wedged one would otherwise hang the script. Hosts without timeout(1)
run it unbounded, as before.
- use X.Y.Z in the parsing comment so the pinned version stays a single
literal in the script.
script/bootstrap installed the pinned linter only when the command was
absent, so on any host that already had some golangci-lint the pin was
never consulted and a version bump was inert forever. That is how a
host running v2.10.1 against a v2.12.2 pin got a green `make check`
while `make docker` rejected the same commit: the local gate was
linting with a different ruleset than CI, and the disagreement only
surfaced after a push.
The version is now a single value, GOLANGCI_LINT_VERSION, with the
`go install` module ref derived from it, so a future bump cannot
half-apply. A golangci_lint_version helper parses the installed
version out of `golangci-lint --version` (the field after the word
"version", with an optional leading "v" stripped, since the module ref
carries one and the binary's output does not) and yields the empty
string when the tool is absent or unreadable. Any version that is not
the pin -- older, newer, absent or unparseable -- is reinstalled, so a
first run upgrades and a second is a no-op.
git, make and go keep their presence-only checks: they come from the
host package manager, the repo pins no system toolchain versions, and
go.mod governs the language version. That is now stated in a comment
next to them rather than left ambiguous beside a tool that is
version-checked.
Bump the pinned golangci-lint from v2.12.1 to v2.12.2 in the
Dockerfile lint stage (tagged, digest-pinned Debian image) and in
script/bootstrap (go install ref). Replace .golangci.yml with the
canonical config: linter settings (lll, funlen, cyclop, dupl) move
under linters.settings per the v2 schema so they are actually
applied, and the redundant issues.exclude-use-default key is
dropped. No new lint findings surfaced; make check is green.
Bring the repo into conformance with the scripts-to-rule-them-all
(STRTA) scaffold. The real logic that lived inline in the Makefile now
lives in POSIX-sh entrypoints under script/, and the Makefile's standard
targets are thin @script/NAME shims.
- script/: bootstrap, setup, projectname, test, lint, fmt, fmt-check,
check, docker, precommit, install-precommit, cibuild. All are
executable #!/bin/sh entrypoints; the go mod tidy guard from the old
inline hooks recipe moved into script/precommit.
- Makefile: the nine standard targets (bootstrap, setup, test, lint,
fmt, fmt-check, check, docker, hooks) are now thin shims; the
repo-specific sfdupes/build/clean targets and the CGO_ENABLED export
are preserved.
- .gitea/workflows/check.yml: run script/cibuild instead of a bare
docker build.
- Dockerfile: run make check (and the build) as an unprivileged builder
user rather than root. We should never build or run as root, and doing
so also lets the permission-denied tests run legitimately: root
bypasses the chmod(0) that TestScanHardlinkRunFailsTogether relies on,
which made the in-image make check fail. HOME and the Go caches point
at the user's home so go build/test and golangci-lint can write.
make check passes locally and docker build . is green (the in-image
non-root make check passes, including the hardlink permission test).
