Fix Real Findings from the Promotion PR's Fresh Review Pass - #1042
Conversation
The develop -> main promotion PR's own review re-read the whole file fresh and found five real gaps the incremental feature-branch rounds missed: - A failed ref fetch or checkout left an unmarked partial clone at the cache path (the marker was only written after every step succeeded), so every retry then rejected that tree as somebody else's and blocked until the user manually cleared it. The marker now lands right after the initial clone, the point the tree genuinely becomes this run's to manage, and a later step failing no longer poisons the cache. - check_skills_dist collapsed every nonzero result from hub_python into "stale distribution" and then returned success regardless, so a missing python3 or a real build_dist.py crash reported a misleading stale message followed by "Done". hub_python's own prerequisite failure now returns 127, bash's own "command not found" convention, distinct from build_dist.py's own documented 0-clean/1-stale contract, and anything outside those two now reports as the task failure it is. - carry_action offered options 12 and 13 in a non-default --ref session and let them always fail deep inside carry.py's own freshness check, with no indication --ref was the reason. Both are now refused up front with the actual cause, and the menu stops showing them at all once --ref is not main, since they cannot work there regardless of a downstream repo being detected. - --dir accepted a path like "/tmp/.." that is not the literal string "/" but resolves to it the moment anything opens a path under it, bypassing the root-directory refusal. The value is now canonicalized before that check. - The README claimed only host tasks show with no repository checkout at all, when the hub tasks also show and work there, fetching the hub themselves; only the downstream tasks actually need one. Also fixed three genuine no-semicolon-in-prose violations in error messages the automated prose gate does not scan (it reads comments, not arbitrary string literals), the same class of gap already closed once for the help text. Declined two findings, with evidence in the PR thread: the "duplicated hub policy" and "file header exceeds one line" pair recurred against this file's own already-established precedent (bootstrap.sh's own multi-line header, and no such rule in CODESTYLE.md or the shell- codestyle skill), and a "git config read failure reads the same as an absent remote" finding cites GOVERNANCE.md's write-suppression rule against a plain read, where an absent remote is a normal, common state rather than a failure to hide. Verified: shellcheck, shfmt, prose_lint.py --diff, and docker_lint.py (markdownlint, cspell, editorconfig-checker, shellcheck, shfmt) all clean; the existing 852 scripts/tests/ pass unchanged; and, via a pty harness, that a failed non-existent-ref fetch now leaves a cache the very next run can clean up and retry successfully (previously blocked), and that carry options no longer appear in a non-default --ref session run from a downstream repo.

…Hub Cache Fetch Fixes two real findings from PR #1042's own review, both confirmed by two independent reviewers on the first one: - check_skills_dist's exit-127 handling only caught a missing python3. build_dist.py --check itself still returned 1 for both the stale result and a real execution failure (a symlink under .agents/skills/, or in principle any uncaught exception), so a genuine crash still printed the misleading stale message followed by "Done". Fixed at the source instead of working around it: --check now returns 2 for that failure, distinct from 0 (clean) and 1 (stale) by its own documented contract, with a new test covering it and the docstring, --check help text, and scripts/README.md updated to match. Every existing consumer (CI's validate action, this menu) only ever branches on zero versus nonzero, so nothing else needed to change. - The marker-timing fix in the prior commit closed one race (a failed fetch blocking every retry) by opening a narrower one a reviewer caught: marking $DIR/hub as owned right after the clone, before a non-default ref's fetch and checkout finish, let a second menu.sh process sharing the same --dir pass remove_unowned_hub_check and delete that still-active checkout. fetch_hub now holds an flock on a sibling hub.lock for its clone-through-checkout sequence, so a second process blocks there instead of racing to remove or reuse a tree the first one is still building. Scoped to the fetch itself, the specific race described, not the full detect-through-cleanup lifecycle a heavier fix would need. Verified: shellcheck, shfmt, prose_lint.py --diff, ruff check, ruff format --check, pyright, and docker_lint.py (markdownlint, cspell, editorconfig-checker, shellcheck, shfmt) all clean; the existing 852 scripts/tests/ plus one new one (853 total) pass; and, with a standalone driver reproducing the exact exec-fd-then-flock pattern this commit uses, that a second lock acquirer genuinely blocks until the first releases rather than racing it.

Fixes two more real findings from PR #1042's own review, and a regression caught while testing the first fix before it could reach review at all: - The prior commit's flock never closed its own file descriptor, so the lock stayed held for the rest of the process, not just the fetch it was meant to protect. Since interactive_menu keeps that process alive through an entire session, one hub task effectively locked out every other menu.sh sharing the same --dir until the first session quit, the opposite of what the lock exists for. First tried a function-local RETURN trap to close it on every path out; testing the fix immediately surfaced that bash does not actually scope a RETURN trap to the function that set it, so it re-fired on whatever function returned next, against an already-unset local, and crashed the whole menu on the very next task. fetch_hub is now a thin wrapper that opens and closes the descriptor around a single call to the actual fetch logic (fetch_hub_locked), which needs no awareness of the lock at all. - scripts/build_dist.py --check's real-failure catch only covered ValueError, but is_stale() reads several files beyond the one call already wrapped in its own try/except, and a permissions problem or a file removed out from under it raises OSError there instead, which would have still surfaced as the ambiguous exit 1 this whole fix exists to resolve. Now caught alongside ValueError, with a new test and the docstring, help text, and scripts/README.md updated to name both cases. Verified: shellcheck, shfmt, prose_lint.py --diff, ruff check, ruff format --check, pyright, and docker_lint.py (markdownlint, cspell, editorconfig-checker, shellcheck, shfmt) all clean; the existing 853 scripts/tests/ plus one new one (854 total) pass; and, via a pty harness, that a live probe against the lock file reads free the moment a hub task finishes rather than for the rest of the session, and that two hub tasks run back to back in one session no longer crash on the second one's return.

Fixes a real gap CodeRabbit found in the OSError fix from the prior commit: is_stale() already caught OSError from its own manifest read and converted it to the ordinary stale result (True), before that error ever had a chance to reach the broader except clause main() just gained. An unreadable manifest still reported as stale, exit 1, exactly the ambiguity this whole fix exists to close, contradicting the docstring, help text, and scripts/README.md this same round already updated to promise otherwise. Narrowed the manifest read's own catch to JSONDecodeError only, a corrupted or hand-edited manifest being the genuinely stale case is_stale() exists to catch. OSError now propagates out to --check's own handler, which already returns 2 for it. Added a real (unmocked) regression test using actual file permissions, per the review's own ask, since the existing OSError coverage mocked is_stale() directly and would not have caught this exact gap; skips itself under a root uid, where the permission bits it depends on are ignored. Verified: ruff check, ruff format --check, pyright, docker_lint.py (markdownlint, cspell) clean; the existing 854 scripts/tests/ plus the new one (855 total) pass.

os.geteuid() does not exist on Windows, so the new unreadable-manifest regression test from the prior commit would crash with AttributeError there before it could even reach its own root-user skip, and chmod does not carry POSIX unreadable-file semantics on that platform anyway. This repo's default platform assumption is Windows + macOS + Linux (GOVERNANCE.md "Supported Development Platforms"), so scripts/tests/ needs to run cleanly there too. Guards on os.name != "posix" first. Verified: ruff check, ruff format --check, and pyright clean; the existing 854 scripts/tests/ plus this one (855 total) pass.
