Fix #528: non-TTY installer hardcodes the Claude agent - #558
Merged
Conversation
The piped install (`curl … | bash`) takes the non-TTY branch of scripts/install.sh, which unconditionally ran `basecamp setup claude`. The post-login nudge likewise pointed at the first detected-unhealthy agent in registry order (Claude-first when both were present). Add `basecamp setup agents`: a non-interactive command that installs the baseline skill and connects coding agents by intent, not registry order. Selection is driven by BASECAMP_SETUP_AGENT (claude|codex|all|none); unset auto-detects — 0 detected installs the skill only, 1 connects it, ≥2 stays neutral and surfaces the per-agent commands. Every safety-critical outcome lives in a top-level flat field of the result envelope so it survives the styled renderer (which skips nested map/[]map); the `agents` array is JSON-only detail. `all` forces every registered handler and synthesizes symmetric missing-binary remediation (the Claude handler treats an absent binary as no-op success while Codex errors). - install.sh / install.ps1: both non-TTY and skip branches now run `setup agents`; install.sh gains an if-form source guard and documents BASECAMP_SETUP_AGENT. - auth.go: rewrite printAgentNudge — one detected-unhealthy agent prints its `setup <id>`; several print every choice directly, never guessing. - Regenerate .surface; add smoke declaration and e2e/installer.bats.

Pull request overview
This PR fixes the non-TTY installer and post-login “agent nudge” bias by introducing an intent-based, non-interactive basecamp setup agents command and routing non-interactive install paths through it, avoiding Claude-first guessing when multiple agents are present.
Changes:
- Added
basecamp setup agents(non-interactive) to install the baseline skill and connect agents based onBASECAMP_SETUP_AGENTor auto-detection. - Updated Bash/PowerShell installers to run
setup agentsin non-interactive / skip-wizard paths (instead of hardcodingsetup claude) and added a sourcing guard toinstall.sh. - Updated the login nudge logic to avoid Claude-first ordering and to surface explicit per-agent
basecamp setup <id>choices.

…kill docs Three follow-up fixes from review of #558: 1. Cross-version installer strategy (install.sh + install.ps1). The hosted install script from main can outrun the latest release, whose binary lacks `setup agents` (v0.7.2 has only `setup`/`setup claude`/`skill install`). Both scripts now probe the installed binary for `setup agents` support and, on an older binary, fall back WITHOUT reintroducing the Claude-first bug: only an explicitly selected agent is connected; an unset/auto/ambiguous selector installs the shared skill via `skill install`. Added old-binary regression tests in e2e/installer.bats. 2. Guard PowerShell post-install setup. Both calls now route through a single best-effort Invoke-PostInstallSetup helper wrapped in try/catch, so a nonzero native exit (under $ErrorActionPreference='Stop' + $PSNativeCommandUseErrorActionPreference) can no longer terminate an otherwise-successful install. 3. Skill docs. Document `setup agents` + BASECAMP_SETUP_AGENT in skills/basecamp/SKILL.md and add it to the remediation list in skills/basecamp-doctor/SKILL.md.

… binaries - setup agents: add cobra.NoArgs — selection is env-driven, so positional args (typos, or confusion with `setup <id>`) are now rejected, not silently ignored. - install.sh / install.ps1: on old release binaries lacking `setup agents`, BASECAMP_SETUP_AGENT=all now dispatches every per-agent `setup <id>` the binary supports instead of collapsing to skill-only. Explicit "all" is honored intent, distinct from the intent-neutral unset/auto/none fallback. PowerShell calls are now individually guarded so one agent's failure can't skip the rest. - Tests: NoArgs rejection (Go) + `all` old-binary dispatch (installer.bats).

On a pre-`setup agents` release (v0.7.2 advertises only `setup claude`), an explicit BASECAMP_SETUP_AGENT=codex ran `basecamp setup codex`. The old `setup` parent accepts `codex` as a stray positional arg and launches the INTERACTIVE setup/OAuth wizard — violating the non-interactive contract. Both installers now capability-check explicit claude|codex selectors the same way `all` already did: only dispatch `setup <id>` if the binary advertises it, otherwise degrade to `skill install` and never invoke the unknown subcommand. Tests: the old-binary stub now rejects every unadvertised `setup <sub>` (not just `setup agents`), and new coverage asserts explicit `codex` degrades to `skill install` (install.sh) plus a static guard on install.ps1's capability check.

* Add post-deploy installer smoke canary The install endpoint serves main, so merging a change to scripts/install.sh deploys it immediately. #558 shipped a sourcing guard that broke the documented `curl | bash` path under `set -u`; the bats suite now gates that regression pre-merge (#568), but nothing checked the published installer post-merge. Add .github/workflows/installer-smoke.yml: nightly + workflow_dispatch + push-to-main (scripts/install.sh) runs of the canonical Quick Start command against the published endpoint, cache-busted with the commit SHA since raw.githubusercontent.com serves max-age=300. Two legs: Linux (modern bash) and macOS via stock /bin/bash, which asserts exactly Bash 3.2 through the same interpreter so the coverage can't silently degrade. Installs into a scratch HOME with explicit BASECAMP_BIN_DIR and asserts the deterministic installed path. Also two installer-scoped comment fixes from the incident review: correct the "Keep PATH empty" description in e2e/installer.bats (PATH is a binary-free tmpdir, not empty), and document why the guard's `:-$0` fallback is required so a future cleanup doesn't re-break piping. Refs #558, #568 * Set cancel-in-progress explicitly to match workflow convention

* ci: harden installer canary and add pre-merge Bash 3.2 gate Canary (installer-smoke.yml): - Trigger on scripts/install.ps1 pushes too — the raw URL serves main, so merge == deploy for the PowerShell installer as well. - New Windows job running the documented irm | iex shape under both Windows PowerShell 5.1 and pwsh 7 (matrix), against scratch USERPROFILE/BASECAMP_BIN_DIR under RUNNER_TEMP. - New notify job: on any leg's failure, file or update an "Installer canary failure" issue (exact-title dedupe, best-effort gh calls, ::error:: annotation). Skipped entirely on green runs. Pre-merge (test.yml): new installer-bash32 job on macos-latest — plain steps, not bats (bats 1.11 execs `env bash` at every layer, so the interpreter is not pinnable through it). Asserts /bin/bash is exactly 3.2, syntax-checks install.sh, and runs it piped with curl off PATH, asserting the guard's clean failure message and the absence of unbound-variable errors (the #558 regression class). Path-filtered to installer files plus test.yml itself so the job proves itself on the PR that introduces or edits it; skipped filters still report success, so the job is safe to mark required. Refs #558#568#569 * TEMP: notify drill (revert me) * Revert "TEMP: notify drill (revert me)" This reverts commit 37cf5f7. * ci: run a full offline install under Bash 3.2, not just the curl guard The piped-execution step stops at the curl prerequisite, and `bash -n` only checks grammar — neither catches Bash-4-only constructs in the download, checksum, extract, or post-install code. Add a step that runs one complete install path under real /bin/bash 3.2 using a fixture curl serving a local release (stub binary, real sha256 checksums) with PATH restricted to fixture + system dirs, then asserts the installed stub runs. Review feedback on #575. * ci: grant the 3.2 gate pull-requests read for paths-filter dorny/paths-filter enumerates changed PR files via the REST API and documents a pull-requests: read requirement; the job-level permissions block zeroes everything unlisted. Review feedback on #575.

Every CLI command runs root PersistentPreRunE -> appctx.NewApp -> auth.NewManager -> auth.NewStore, and credstore.NewStore eagerly probes OS keyring availability with a write. On macOS that probe shells out to an uncancellable `security` child; a locked keychain with no TTY or GUI blocks it forever — on *every* command, including credential-free ones like `setup agents` and `skill install`. That is how the installer hung headless (#568, canary discovery #569/#571 -> #574 drill lineage). Go fix (reaches users at the next release): Store now records the fallback dir at construction and builds the credstore lazily behind sync.Once on first credential operation. Credential-free commands never touch the keyring; credential-touching commands probe on first use exactly as before, with the documented BASECAMP_NO_KEYRING=1 escape hatch. No timeout was added deliberately: an abandoned goroutine cannot kill the hung `security` child, so a timeout would hide the hang while keeping the leak. Bounded fallback needs cancellation support upstream in credstore/go-keyring first. Installer belt (deploys on merge, covers released binaries <= v0.7.2 which still probe eagerly): post_install_setup in install.sh prefixes each best-effort child with per-command BASECAMP_NO_KEYRING=1; Invoke-PostInstallSetup in install.ps1 sets it for the duration of setup and restores the caller's value on exit. These children never touch credentials — the var only skips the old binaries' startup probe. Tests: keyring_test.go pins constructor laziness through an injectable credstore seam. installer.bats gains belt tests that explicitly unset the suite-wide BASECAMP_NO_KEYRING and assert both directions (real calls carry it, the sh capability probe does not), plus a pwsh test that extracts Invoke-PostInstallSetup from install.ps1's AST (no test hooks in the production script), runs it against a logging stub, and asserts set + restore; it fails closed when pwsh is missing in CI. The canary's workflow-level BASECAMP_NO_KEYRING is removed with no step-scoped replacement: the macOS leg now genuinely exercises the deployed belt (a missing belt = hung security child = timeout = notify), and the direct `basecamp version` asserts skip PersistentPreRunE entirely.

setup claude— the piped install (curl -fsSL https://basecamp.com/install-cli | bash, a 302 redirect to this repo'sscripts/install.sh) took the non-TTY branch, which unconditionally ranbasecamp setup claude.
