Walk env's Full Argument Grammar, Fix read's EOF Quirk - #953
Conversation
Fixes 2 real findings from qodo-code-review on PR #952 (the develop -> main promotion PR carrying #951's shell-lint-gate work), both reproduced before the fix. ## env NAME=VALUE and operand-taking flags Both shebang parsers only walked past simple boolean flags before `env`'s command, so `#!/usr/bin/env FOO=1 bash` (a real pattern: environment assignments before the command) fell through as unclassified, while `#!/usr/bin/env -u bash python` (a real pattern: `-u NAME` unsets an env var, taking `bash` as -u's operand rather than naming the interpreter) was misclassified as a bash script. - `scripts/docker_lint.py`: `shell_shebang_interpreter` now walks past `NAME=VALUE` assignments (`_is_env_assignment`) and past `env` options that consume a separate operand token (`-u`/`--unset`, `-C`/`--chdir`), in addition to `-S`/`--split-string` and plain boolean flags. - `.github/workflows/validate-task.yml`: `is_shell_shebang` gained the same walk. ## A no-trailing-newline shebang silently skipped in CI `IFS= read -r first_line < "$file"` returns non-zero at EOF even after correctly filling `first_line`, so the CI step's `... && IFS= read -r first_line < "$file" && is_shell_shebang ...` chain short-circuited before the shebang check ever ran, for a tracked extensionless script whose shebang line is also its last line with no trailing newline. `docker_lint.py`'s `readline()` has no such quirk, so this was a real CI/local divergence, not a difference in what was being checked. - `.github/workflows/validate-task.yml`: reads into `first_line` first, tolerates `read`'s own EOF exit code with `|| true`, then checks the content regardless. ## Verified Reproduced both false-positive/false-negative shebang cases and the no-trailing-newline case end to end, in a scratch repo, through the CI step's exact commands and through `docker_lint.py`. Added `test_shell_shebang_interpreter_walks_past_env_grammar` and `test_extensionless_shebang_script_with_no_trailing_newline_is_picked_up` to `scripts/tests/test_docker_lint.py`. Full test suite (795 tests), ruff, mypy, actionlint, `repo_gate.py`, `prose_lint.py --diff origin/develop`, and the complete `docker_lint.py` run (all 7 linters) all pass clean.

🟢 Approval recommended
The changes align CI and local shebang detection behavior, and the added tests cover the previously failing edge cases.
Pull request overview
This PR fixes two shebang-parsing edge cases around #!/usr/bin/env ... so that both CI (validate-task.yml) and the local linter wrapper (scripts/docker_lint.py) correctly detect extensionless Bash/sh scripts, including when env includes NAME=VALUE assignments or operand-taking flags, and when the shebang line has no trailing newline.
Changes:
- Teach both shebang parsers to walk past
envassignments and operand-taking flags (-u/--unset,-C/--chdir) in addition to split-string and boolean flags. - Fix the CI shell-script discovery loop to tolerate
readreturning non-zero at EOF after populatingfirst_line. - Add regression tests covering the
env-grammar walk and the no-trailing-newline shebang case.

2. Unicode env assignment mismatch 🐞 Bug≡ Correctness
scripts/docker_lint.py treats non-ASCII letters/digits as valid env-var names via str.isalpha/isalnum, but the CI workflow’s is_shell_shebang only recognizes ASCII [A-Za-z0-9_]. This can cause the same shebang to be classified as a shell script locally but not in CI (or vice versa), despite the workflow comment stating the two implementations must stay in sync.
Agent Prompt
### Issue description
`scripts/docker_lint.py::_is_env_assignment()` uses `str.isalpha()` / `str.isalnum()`, which accept many Unicode codepoints. The CI workflow’s equivalent logic only matches ASCII variable names (`^[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*=`). This mismatch can reintroduce CI vs local divergence in extensionless-shebang discovery.
### Issue Context
The workflow explicitly notes `docker_lint.py` and the workflow function are “the same logic; keep both in sync on a change here.” Right now they are not equivalent for non-ASCII shebang assignments.
### Fix Focus Areas
- scripts/docker_lint.py[145-153]
- .github/workflows/validate-task.yml[68-112]
### Suggested change
In Python, make `_is_env_assignment()` ASCII-only to match the workflow:
- Use a regex like `re.match(r"^[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*=", token)` (or `re.fullmatch` on the name portion), **or**
- Use `string.ascii_letters` / `string.digits` checks instead of `isalpha/isalnum`.
Optionally add a regression test showing the intended behavior for a Unicode-looking assignment token (either explicitly rejected or handled consistently in both places).

GNU env shebang -- FOO=1 bash versus -S shebang semantics kernel optional argument
💡 Result:
The behavior you observe—such as a process hanging when using a shebang like #!/usr/bin/env FOO=1 bash—is caused by a fundamental limitation in how operating system kernels handle the shebang (#!) line, rather than a bug in the env command [1][2][3]. Kernel Semantics and the Shebang Line When a script is executed, the kernel (specifically the binfmt_script handler on Linux) reads the first line of the file [4][5]. It performs minimal parsing: it identifies the interpreter path and treats everything else on that line (up to the newline) as a single, optional argument [2][6][7]. The kernel does not perform shell-like splitting, quote interpretation, or environment variable expansion [2]. If your shebang is: #!/usr/bin/env FOO=1 bash The kernel executes /usr/bin/env, passing the entire string "FOO=1 bash" as a single argument [1][3]. Consequently, env is invoked effectively as: env "FOO=1 bash" /path/to/your/script Because "FOO=1 bash" is treated as the command to run, env searches for a program literally named "FOO=1 bash" in your PATH [8]. When it fails to find it, or if it treats it as an environment setting for a subsequent command that is never properly resolved, the process often hangs or fails [1][3]. In many cases, it triggers an infinite loop where the script re-executes itself via env, causing the system to continuously attempt to restart the process [1][3]. The Solution: env -S To support multiple arguments and environment variables in shebang lines on modern systems, GNU env introduced the -S (--split-string) option [1][9][10]. This option instructs env to perform its own, more sophisticated splitting on the argument that follows it [1][11]. To correctly use your example, you should write the shebang as: #!/usr/bin/env -S FOO=1 bash With -S, env receives the single argument "FOO=1 bash" from the kernel, then manually splits it into "FOO=1" and "bash" [1][11]. It then correctly executes bash with FOO=1 in its environment, and bash subsequently executes your script [1][10]. Note that when using -S in a shebang line, you should generally avoid extra quotes that you might otherwise use on a command line, as they would be treated as literal characters [12].

Continue parsing -S shebang arguments
For #!/usr/bin/env -S FOO=1 bash, GNU env runs bash with FOO=1. Both parsers stop after -S, so they omit this extensionless shell script from linting. Continue scanning the expanded arguments and skip assignments before selecting bash or sh. Add this case with expected result "bash" to scripts/tests/test_docker_lint.py.
Do not add the -- FOO=1 bash case. Linux passes the shebang tail as one argument, and GNU env does not parse it as separate operands.

Reject Symlinks From Shebang Discovery, Propagate read Failures Fixes 2 findings from coderabbitai on PR #952 (the develop -> main promotion PR carrying #951's shell-lint-gate work), both reproduced before the fix. ## A tracked symlink could read an arbitrary host file The extensionless-shebang scan opens each candidate file to check its first line, host-side, before Docker ever starts. `[ -f "$file" ]` and Python's `Path.open()` both follow a symlink, so a tracked symlink pointing outside the checkout (`ops/evil -> /etc/shadow`, or anywhere else the CI runner or a dev's own machine can read) had its target's first line read on the host as part of merely checking whether it looks like a shell script. Reproduced: a symlink to a file containing `TOP SECRET` content was read through `read <` on the CI side and `Path.open()` on the Python side. - `.github/workflows/validate-task.yml`: added `[ ! -h "$file" ]` (checks the tracked path itself via `lstat`, never follows it) alongside the existing `-f` check, before any read. - `scripts/docker_lint.py`: `has_shell_shebang` now checks `is_symlink()` first and returns `False` without ever opening the path. - `scripts/tests/test_docker_lint.py`: added `track_symlink()` and two regression tests proving a symlinked extensionless script is excluded from discovery and never opened. This matches established fleet precedent: `build_dist.py`, `skills_install.py`, and `carry.py` (`spec/`) already reject symlinks for the same reason, confirmed by their own existing test suites passing unaffected. ## `read`'s `|| true` masked a genuine read failure too `IFS= read -r first_line < "$file" || true` (landed in #953) tolerated the harmless no-trailing-newline EOF case, but the same `|| true` also swallowed a genuine read failure (permission denied, file removed mid-run), silently skipping a tracked script CI should have linted. - `.github/workflows/validate-task.yml`: replaced the `read`/`|| true` pair with `first_line="$(head -n 1 -- "$file")"`, which reads a no-trailing-newline file cleanly (exit 0) while still failing loudly on a genuine read error, per CodeRabbit's own verified reproduction. ## Verified Reproduced all three cases end to end in a scratch repo: a tracked symlink to a file containing secret content is excluded from discovery on both the CI step's exact commands and `docker_lint.py` (and never opened, confirmed via the new Python test), a no-trailing-newline script is still discovered and read correctly, and a genuine permission-denied read aborts the script instead of being silently skipped. Full test suite (797 tests), ruff, mypy, actionlint, `repo_gate.py`, `prose_lint.py --diff origin/develop`, and the complete `docker_lint.py` run (all 7 linters) all pass clean. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Bug Fixes** * Shell linting now excludes symbolic links from shell-script checks. * Symlink targets are no longer inspected when detecting shell scripts. * Shell-script discovery now handles candidate shebangs more reliably. * **Tests** * Added coverage for extensionless symlinks and symlink shebang detection. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->
Walk env's Full Argument Grammar, Fix read's EOF Quirk
Fixes 2 real findings from qodo-code-review on PR #952 (the develop ->
main promotion PR carrying #951's shell-lint-gate work), both
reproduced before the fix.
env NAME=VALUE and operand-taking flags
Both shebang parsers only walked past simple boolean flags before
env's command, so#!/usr/bin/env FOO=1 bash(a real pattern:environment assignments before the command) fell through as
unclassified, while
#!/usr/bin/env -u bash python(a real pattern:-u NAMEunsets an env var, takingbashas -u's operand rather thannaming the interpreter) was misclassified as a bash script.
scripts/docker_lint.py:shell_shebang_interpreternow walks pastNAME=VALUEassignments (_is_env_assignment) and pastenvoptions that consume a separate operand token (
-u/--unset,-C/--chdir), in addition to-S/--split-stringand plainboolean flags.
.github/workflows/validate-task.yml:is_shell_shebanggained thesame walk.
A no-trailing-newline shebang silently skipped in CI
IFS= read -r first_line < "$file"returns non-zero at EOF even aftercorrectly filling
first_line, so the CI step's... && IFS= read -r first_line < "$file" && is_shell_shebang ...chain short-circuited before the shebang check ever ran, for a tracked
extensionless script whose shebang line is also its last line with no
trailing newline.
docker_lint.py'sreadline()has no such quirk,so this was a real CI/local divergence, not a difference in what was
being checked.
.github/workflows/validate-task.yml: reads intofirst_linefirst, tolerates
read's own EOF exit code with|| true, thenchecks the content regardless.
Verified
Reproduced both false-positive/false-negative shebang cases and the
no-trailing-newline case end to end, in a scratch repo, through the CI
step's exact commands and through
docker_lint.py. Addedtest_shell_shebang_interpreter_walks_past_env_grammarandtest_extensionless_shebang_script_with_no_trailing_newline_is_picked_upto
scripts/tests/test_docker_lint.py. Full test suite (795 tests),ruff, mypy, actionlint,
repo_gate.py,prose_lint.py --diff origin/develop, and the completedocker_lint.pyrun (all 7 linters)all pass clean.
