From 0f8a55e75234134fee82c745c829031de75ae1de Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Krzysztof kuhy Rudnicki Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2026 15:52:09 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Record what actually happened to the two handoff jobs The original handoff's scope is obsolete: job 1 is done, and job 2 was deliberately dropped rather than completed. Prepends the outcome and the numbers rather than rewriting the file, because its kcov/jail notes are still the reference for measuring a lib on purpose. Also records the two traps that cost the most time this session: never `git reset --hard` to undo a probe commit (it discards unstaged work -- recoverable from ~/.cache/pre-commit/patch*), and read a gate's predicate rather than its header comment, which in this repo was a full day stale and produced a confidently wrong scope estimate.

The rest of this file is the +> ORIGINAL handoff, kept because its kcov/jail notes are still the reference +> for measuring a lib on purpose. Its SCOPE is now obsolete. + +**Job 1 — the push gate — DONE (commit 8ab15446).** ~130s to: +docs-only 7.6s, python 25.3s, one shell suite 43.6s, unchanged-tree re-push +0.005s. The guarantee is intact; a broken python assertion and a broken shell +assertion were each refused with exit 1. + +Found while measuring it: `ci_mirror.sh` called `pytest_changed_packages.py` +with no arguments, and that script returns 0 on empty argv. **The pre-push +python stage had never run a single test.** Behind it sat a real failing test +(fixed in ff3ea99a). + +**Job 2 — the 100% shell bar — DELIBERATELY DROPPED (commit 578c4a6c).** +The user's call on 2026-08-23, after being shown the real cost. The bar had +been raised from a presence check only the day before (bca70b67), and pricing +it out honestly: one hand-written test file per lib (fixes/lib took 34 files +for 22 libs), a serial jail at 37-90s a pass, and a production seam needed in +most libs before they are testable at all — several days for a repo of +personal automation scripts. `is_covered` is a presence check again. + +**The ratchet is now WIRED into pre-commit (commit 46c8f065)** — it never was +before, which is why it rotted. 0 BLOCK entries, 0.16s repo-wide. The three +`meta/scripts/lib` coverage-tooling libs got a 48-assertion suite so they stop +blocking it. + +**Python needs nothing:** 2101 tests, 100.00%, zero missing statements or +branches, measured in a clean worktree. **File-length cap needs nothing:** 0 +violations, hook-enforced. + +**What is left, if anyone wants it:** 8 directories still have no suite at all +(`.githooks/lib`, `scripts/meta/lib`, `mtk_root/lib`, `digital_wellbeing/{pacman, +virtualbox}/lib`, `system-maintenance/bin/lib`, `single_use/{fresh-install,}/lib`) +— 20 libs, ~1,980 lines. All are allowlisted, so nothing is blocked. This is +optional work now, not a campaign. + +**Traps worth carrying forward, beyond the list below:** + +- **Never `git reset --hard` to undo a probe commit.** It discards UNSTAGED + working-tree edits. That cost a full rewrite of `ci_mirror.sh` this session. + Recovery: pre-commit stashes unstaged files to `~/.cache/pre-commit/patch*`; + `git apply` on the newest one restored it exactly. Use + `git revert --no-commit `. +- **Read the predicate, not the header comment.** `check_shell_coverage.sh`'s + header still described a presence gate for a full day after the gate became + a 100% bar. Acting on the prose produced a confidently wrong scope estimate. +- A sourced-only lib takes `# shellcheck shell=bash`, no shebang, no exec bit, + or `check-shebang-scripts-are-executable` fails the commit. + +--- + # Next session: make the push gate fast, then close the coverage holes > **Paste this whole file into a fresh Claude session opened in `~/testsAndMisc`.**
