Managed items with local modifications were kept (skip + warn) with no
escape hatch other than deleting the deployed file by hand — after an
upstream change the deployed content silently stayed old, which reads
exactly like a stale cache.
--force turns the two skip cases into update (repository version wins)
and remove (upstream deleted + modified). Unmanaged items and never-
managed path occupancies stay untouched even with --force; the default
behavior is unchanged.
A cached bare clone's HEAD points at refs/heads/<branch>, which is written
once at clone time and never updated again — fetch only touches
refs/remotes/*. Syncs without --ref therefore resolved the frozen
clone-time revision forever: the literal "cached version of the repo"
symptom.
Resolve the default branch via remote.List instead: the advertised HEAD
(plain hash or symref target) is the only source of truth. Verified
against the production Forgejo instance; e2e test fails on the pre-fix
binary and passes now.
sync/status now resolve the work repository from a fallback chain:
--repo flag > --config flag > AGENT_LIB_CONFIG env > user-level config
(XDG / AppData) > admin platform default. --repo works without any
config file; tokens fall back to AGENT_LIB_GIT_TOKEN/AGENT_LIB_GIT_USER
without ever overriding a configured token. A completely empty chain
yields an error listing every searched location, a minimal config
example and the --repo shortcut.
Closes beads: agent-lib-9o8
- status: read-only report of deployed/repository revision, pending changes,
skipped items (with reasons), unrecognized local items, binary version;
--json machine-readable; exit 1 when local modifications block repository
updates (headless drift checks)
- sync/status share a read-only prepare() front half
- notify package: windows toast via PowerShell script (go-toast mechanism,
zero deps, build-tag gated), noop on linux/macos; cross-compile verified
- toast fires exactly once per sync with warnings, never for routine syncs;
notification failures are logged and never fail the sync (fail-open)
- Plan is a pure function (inventory, manifest, disk facts, injected path
mapping) emitting exactly six actions: deploy, update, skip+warn,
leave+warn, remove, keep — deterministic order, no filesystem access
- full 3x3 matrix (disk unmodified/user-modified/never-managed x upstream
added/changed/removed) table-tested plus missing-disk restore cases,
a mixed fixture and a purity/determinism guarantee test
- executor applies plans item by item (atomic deploy/remove per item),
rewrites the manifest once, appends timestamped SKIP/LEAVE lines with
item name and reason to the sync log
- sync now plans before mutating: unmanaged occupants block new deploys,
upstream deletions remove only unmodified copies, local modifications
always win and are warned about
- admin-protected client config (flag > AGENT_LIB_CONFIG > platform default),
token used for basic auth only, redacted from all errors and files
- work-repo pull via go-git (bare cache clone + fetch, remote re-pointed on
config change), clean failure keeps previous state
- inventory: own items + external areas from lockfile; MCP inventoried but
never deployed
- manifest v1 records name/type/origin/revision/content-hash per item,
deterministic bytes; folder hashes over sorted relpath+filehash lines so
tree and disk hashes agree
- shared deploy package (atomic temp+rename, exec-bit preserving) now backs
both curator materialization and client deployment
- sync validates and hashes everything before the first mutation; second run
is a byte-level no-op
