Closes#427. Closes#452. Closes#454.

Promotes develop at f2a8f62 to main. One squashed pull request, #455, which closed the three open issues and fixed one defect found while doing so.

The issue-closing keywords sit here rather than on #455, since GitHub only closes an issue when the pull request merges into the default branch, and #455 merged into develop.

What is being promoted

  • StringHistory Limit Properties Misdocument Zero and Do Not Re-Partition When Set #454, the StringHistory limit properties.MaxFirstLines and MaxLastLines were each documented Set to 0 for no limit, which holds only when both are zero. Zero on one side is now documented as retaining no lines on that side, both the constructor and the setters reject a negative value, and assigning a limit re-partitions the lines already stored instead of being ignored. Re-partitioning only ever discards, so what is retained is always a prefix of the appended lines followed by a suffix of them, and once a line has been dropped the head is trimmed but never refilled.
  • Make the Download Tests Deterministic and Offline #452, the download tests. They reached www.google.com and httpstat.us, so the unit-test gate depended on outbound DNS and on two third parties, and paid a five-second sleep on every run. They now drive a loopback HTTP server on an ephemeral port, and the test assembly disables the ambient proxy so a machine with http_proxy set does not send loopback requests through it. Download's public surface is unchanged.
  • Remove references to the private template repo from carried files #427, the coordination reference.HISTORY.md named the template repository in its v3.5 entry and no longer does.
  • A Download defect found during the above.DownloadFile() and DownloadFileAsync() opened the destination with File.OpenWrite(), which does not truncate, so a download over a longer existing file left that file's trailing bytes after the downloaded content and returned true. Both now open with FileMode.OpenOrCreate and truncate with SetLength(0), rewriting in place so the destination's permissions, ownership, and any links to it survive.
  • The version floor, raised to 4.1, with the two shipped fixes recorded in HISTORY.md and README.md.

Verification

The merge is clean and git write-tree on it equals git rev-parse origin/develop^{tree} exactly (0cfd271c), so main ends up with develop's tree and nothing else.

develop carried 206 tests green, the .NET Format clean-compile chain with zero warnings under AnalysisMode=All and TreatWarningsAsErrors, markdownlint, CSpell, actionlint, editorconfig-checker, shellcheck and shfmt clean, and the hub's prose and repository gates clean. #455 went through eight review rounds; every thread was resolved and every suppressed finding answered, with suppressed on_head=0 at the merge.

Releases stay blocked, and this does not unblock them

publish-release.yml still fails at the NuGet OIDC token exchange, because the hub-hosted release chain makes the job_workflow_ref claim name the hub rather than this repository (ProjectTemplate#1126). The fix moves the token exchange and the push back into the calling repository, which needs new content in this repository's publish-release.yml plus a re-pin, and cannot land until that hub change reaches its main. That is a follow-up pull request, so merging this one leaves the latest release at 4.0.38.

@ptr727
Fix the StringHistory Limits and Make the Download Tests Offline (#455)
f2a8f62
Closes#427. Closes#452. Closes#454.
## #454, the `StringHistory` limit properties
`MaxFirstLines` and `MaxLastLines` were each documented `Set to 0 for no
limit`, which holds only when both are zero, the one branch `AppendLine`
treats as unrestricted. Set individually, zero retains none on that
side. The maintainer chose the smaller of the two directions the issue
offered, so the documentation now says what the code does rather than
the code changing to match the documentation.
Three behavioral changes on top of that:
- The constructor and both setters reject a negative value with
`ArgumentOutOfRangeException`, rather than letting it reach `RemoveAt`
and throw after entries have already been taken. The constructor
validates its own parameters, so the exception names `maxFirstLines` or
`maxLastLines` rather than `value`.
- Each setter re-partitions the lines already stored, so a limit
assigned after appending is honored instead of ignored.
- Re-partitioning only ever discards. Once a line has been dropped the
head is closed: it can be trimmed but never refilled, by a later append
or by a later, larger `MaxFirstLines`. What is retained is therefore
always a prefix of the stream followed by a suffix of it, which is
exactly the head-and-tail contract
[`ARCHITECTURE.md`](./ARCHITECTURE.md) states.
That third point is the one worth reviewing closely, and it is the one
two local review passes and a fuzz each found a different defect in
before it settled. A 300000-history fuzz over random append and limit
sequences holds the prefix-plus-suffix contract, the count bound, and
no-duplicates across four and a half million intermediate states.
## #452, the download tests
`DownloadTests` and `DownloadAsyncTests` reached `www.google.com` and
`httpstat.us`, so the unit-test gate depended on outbound DNS and on two
third parties it does not control, and paid a five-second sleep on every
run to exercise the timeout path.
They now drive a loopback HTTP server bound to an ephemeral port.
`Download`'s public surface is unchanged, so the `Lazy<HttpClient>`
contract in `ARCHITECTURE.md` still holds and the seam the issue offered
as the larger alternative was not needed.
- The server writes HTTP/1.1 onto a `TcpListener` socket rather than
using `HttpListener`, which on Windows resolves an explicit-address
prefix through http.sys and needs a URL reservation an unelevated
developer does not have. CI is Linux-only, so nothing here would have
caught that.
- Binding port 0 and reading the port back removes the probe-then-bind
race a first draft had.
- The negative case is a 404 from that server rather than a hostname
expected never to resolve, which a wildcard registration or a
captive-portal resolver would have silently inverted.
- The cancellation test waits for the server to signal that it holds the
request, cancels only then, and asserts the call returned well inside
the route's own delay. Asserting only that the call returned false would
have passed just as well if the server had never started.
- Both not-found tests assert the server actually routed the request,
for the same reason.
- The test assembly disables the ambient proxy. `HttpClientFactory`
leaves `SocketsHttpHandler.UseProxy` at its default, so a client
resolves `HttpClient.DefaultProxy`, which on Unix is read from
`http_proxy` and bypasses loopback only where `no_proxy` says to. A
machine configured that way would send every loopback request to a
proxy, which is the environment dependence this issue exists to remove.
The suite is 200 tests and runs in about one second, against 193 tests
and roughly six seconds before. Twenty consecutive runs were clean.
## #427, the coordination reference
`HISTORY.md` named the template repository in its v3.5 entry. It now
states what changed without naming where it came from.
`.github/copilot-instructions.md`, the other file the issue named, was
already clear, and the hub's own audit reports this repository clean.
A reviewer may read the `HISTORY.md` hunk as an out-of-scope edit to a
shipped release record. It is #427's deliverable rather than incidental
churn.
## Verification
`.NET Format` (CSharpier, build, `dotnet format style
--verify-no-changes`) clean, zero warnings under `AnalysisMode=All` and
`TreatWarningsAsErrors`. markdownlint, CSpell, actionlint,
`editorconfig-checker`, shellcheck and shfmt clean. The hub's prose gate
and repository gate both clean.
## One thing beyond the three issues
`Download.DownloadFile()` and `DownloadFileAsync()` opened the
destination with `File.OpenWrite()`, which is `FileMode.OpenOrCreate`
and does not truncate, so a download over a longer existing file left
that file's trailing bytes after the downloaded content and returned
`true`. A local review pass raised it, and the maintainer asked for it
here rather than as a separate issue.
**The fix changed shape twice before settling, so read the current
behavior here rather than in the commit history.** Both methods now open
the destination with `FileMode.OpenOrCreate` and truncate it with
`SetLength(0)`, rewriting it in place. Its permissions, ownership, and
any hard links or symlinks to it survive, which a probe confirms on
Linux: mode 0600 stays 0600 with the file truncated to the body's
length, a hard link sees the new content, a symlink is written through
rather than replaced, and a read-only destination is refused with the
file intact.
The cost, which the release notes now state rather than leave implicit:
truncation happens once the response headers are accepted, so a download
that fails partway leaves a short file, where `File.OpenWrite()` left
the original bytes behind the newly written ones.
Two approaches were tried and rejected on the way, both by local review
passes:
- `FileMode.Create`, which empties the destination before a single body
byte exists, and which Windows refuses outright against a hidden file
where `OpenOrCreate` succeeds.
- Writing beside the destination and moving the result into place. That
gives the strongest failure guarantee, an untouched destination, but it
replaces the file's identity rather than its contents. Probed on Linux:
a 0600 destination came back 0664, a symlink was replaced by a regular
file leaving its target stale, a hard link kept the old content, and a
read-only destination was silently overwritten, since `rename(2)`
consults the directory's permission and not the file's, while Windows
refuses that same move. The maintainer chose in-place rewriting over
that trade.
Six tests cover it: two for the overwrite, two for a request that fails
before the response is accepted, and two for a destination that cannot
be opened.
## Not in this change
- The failing `Publish project release` run is the NuGet OIDC
`job_workflow_ref` claim,
[ProjectTemplate#1126](ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1126).
The fix moves the token exchange and the push into the calling
repository, so this repository's `publish-release.yml` needs new content
plus a re-pin. That cannot merge usefully until the hub fix reaches its
`main`, so it is a follow-up rather than part of this change.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Atomic temporary-file replacement
  • ➕ Preserves the original destination when a body transfer fails.
  • ➕ Can make completed downloads atomic.
  • ➖ May replace permissions, ownership, hard links, or other destination metadata.
  • ➖ Changes the documented partial-download behavior and adds cross-platform replacement complexity.
2. Injected HTTP message handler
  • ➕ Avoids opening sockets and makes response scenarios inexpensive to simulate.
  • ➕ Eliminates ambient proxy concerns within tests.
  • ➖ Requires an injection seam around the shared client.
  • ➖ Does not exercise real socket transport, HTTP framing, or cancellation behavior.
3. Retain the complete StringHistory stream
  • ➕ Makes every limit change fully reversible.
  • ➕ Simplifies repartitioning by deriving the view from canonical history.
  • ➖ Defeats the bounded-memory purpose of StringHistory.
  • ➖ Allows previously discarded lines to reappear, violating the selected retention contract.

Recommendation: Keep the PR’s approach. Rewriting the destination in place preserves filesystem identity, the loopback server validates real HTTP behavior without third-party dependencies, and discard-only StringHistory repartitioning maintains bounded storage and stable stream semantics. The alternatives offer stronger atomicity or simpler simulation but conflict with existing contracts or introduce broader architectural changes.

🔵 Needs a closer look

It promotes multiple public-contract behavioral changes (I/O semantics and StringHistory retention rules) where final approval should include a human validation pass of the intended compatibility tradeoffs.

Pull request overview

Promotes develop to main by releasing version 4.1, including a Download overwrite/truncation correctness fix, a tightened and explicitly documented StringHistory head/tail retention contract (including negative-limit validation and post-set repartitioning), and deterministic offline download tests via a loopback HTTP server.

Changes:

  • Bumped the shipped version floor to 4.1 and updated release notes/docs to describe the new behavioral contracts.
  • Fixed Download.DownloadFile() / DownloadFileAsync() to truncate and rewrite destinations in place to avoid trailing-byte corruption when overwriting longer existing files.
  • Updated StringHistory limits to validate negatives, repartition stored history on limit changes, and document the “0 means keep none on that side” contract; updated tests accordingly (including offline download tests).

Apply Both StringHistory Limits in One Re-Partition (#457)
ecf7b55
Answers the two findings from the review of the `develop -> main`
promotion, #456. Neither could be pushed there, since that pull
request's head is `develop`, so both land here first and #456 picks them
up.
## `StringHistory.SetLimits()`
Assigning `MaxFirstLines` and `MaxLastLines` one after the other
re-partitions twice, so the first assignment measures against the other
limit's previous value and discards lines the final pair would have
retained. On a default history holding ten lines:
```text
MaxFirstLines = 2; MaxLastLines = 3; -> 2 lines retained
MaxLastLines = 3; MaxFirstLines = 2; -> 3 lines retained
SetLimits(2, 3) -> 5 lines retained
```
The two-argument constructor was the only way to apply a pair
atomically, and it does not reach an instance that already holds lines.
`SetLimits()` validates both values, assigns both fields, and
re-partitions once.
Worth stating precisely, because the first draft of this change
over-claimed it and a local pass caught it: it is not that no ordering
ever avoids the loss. For a given target pair one order is often
lossless, and an exhaustive sweep of the reachable states found 264
where exactly one is. What holds is that **which** order works depends
on the values and on what is stored, so no fixed ordering is safe.
Six tests: the atomic case, the divergence from separate assignment,
both negative arguments, clearing to the unrestricted mode, and
`Repartition()`'s discarded branch reached through `SetLimits()`, which
caps each side against its own counter rather than against the whole
list.
The 300000-history fuzz now drives `SetLimits()` alongside the two
setters, holding the prefix-plus-suffix contract, the count bound, no
duplicates, and that an assignment never adds a line, across four and a
half million states.
## The grammar finding, and what it turned up
`AOT safe` becomes `AOT-safe` where it modifies a noun. The same
compound sits in `HttpClientFactory` and `AssemblyInfo` doc comments, so
those are corrected rather than left disagreeing with the release note.
Editing those two files brought them under the whole-file rule, which
surfaced three defects none of them on a changed line:
- `ARCHITECTURE.md` said `StringCompression` "passes `leaveOpen` so the
caller keeps ownership of the stream it supplied". Every public member
takes and returns a `string`; the only stream is one the method creates
and disposes itself, so a consumer would look for an overload that does
not exist.
- `AssemblyInfo`'s type summary read "AOT and trim safe", the last
unhyphenated instance in the repository and the copy that ships in the
XML docs.
- `HttpClientFactory`'s retry comment said a 4xx is not retried, three
lines below a bullet that retries 408 and 429.
## Verification
212 tests green. `.NET Format` clean-compile with zero warnings under
`AnalysisMode=All` and `TreatWarningsAsErrors`. markdownlint, CSpell,
`editorconfig-checker`, and both hub gates clean, the prose gate run
over whole files rather than changed lines.
## Not in this change
The `Publish project release` failure is the NuGet OIDC
`job_workflow_ref` claim,
[ProjectTemplate#1126](ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1126),
which needs a caller-side stub change here plus a re-pin once the hub
fix reaches its `main`.

🔵 Needs a closer look

It promotes multiple public-behavior changes (I/O semantics, buffering/retention rules, and test infrastructure) where final human sign-off is prudent for a default-branch release.

Repair the Garbled Clause in the SetLimits Remark
3a54d0d
The sentence read "so no fixed ordering is safe and this applies both before
re-partitioning at all", which was meant as "this method applies both limits
before re-partitioning at all" and parses as neither. It is the remark a consumer
sees in IntelliSense on a published package, and it was explaining the one thing
the method exists for, so an unreadable clause there is worth its own fix.
Raised by a reviewer on the promotion pull request, #456, whose head is develop
and cannot carry a fix. It rides here rather than in a third pull request for one
sentence, which costs this one a review round and saves a whole cycle.
@ptr727
Push the NuGet Package From This Repository Rather Than the Hub Task (#…
137ab39
…458)
Restores NuGet publishing, which has been broken since this repository
adopted the hub release chain. This is this repository's half of the hub
fix,
[ProjectTemplate#1126](ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1126),
landed in the hub as `2.0.536`.
## What broke and why
The first real release after adopting the chain, [run
33336000403](https://github.com/ptr727/Utilities/actions/runs/33336000403),
failed at the NuGet.org token exchange:
```text
Token exchange failed (HTTP 401). Claim 'job_workflow_ref' has value
'<owner>/ProjectTemplate/.github/workflows/build-release-task.yml@f3b4cc9'
which does not start with <owner>/Utilities/.github/workflows/.
```
Trusted publishing validates that claim against the repository owning
the package, and the claim names the workflow the job actually ran from.
A push made from a hub-hosted task can never satisfy it, and a caller
hook does not help either, since a composite action runs inside the
hub's job. The hub therefore builds the package and uploads it, and the
calling repository pushes it.
## The change
**The pin and the stub edit are one change, not two.** The hub removed
the `nuget:` input and the `NUGET_USERNAME` secret from the task, so a
pin bump on its own startup-fails against names the task no longer
declares. All six references across three workflows move from `2.0.526`
to `2.0.536`.
I verified that mechanically rather than by reading: every input and
every secret each of the four callers passes is declared on the
corresponding task at `1fe2537`, and no newly-required input is
unpassed.
- `publish` drops the `NUGET_USERNAME` mapping, the `id-token: write`
grant and the `nuget:` input, keeping `enable_nuget` so the task still
builds and uploads the package.
- A new `publish-nuget` job downloads `nuget-build-${{ github.ref_name
}}`, trades the GitHub OIDC token for a short-lived NuGet key, and
pushes. `id-token: write` sits on that one job, which is what D7.2 asks
for.
- The smoke path drops `nuget: false` with them.
- Your nuget.org trusted-publishing policy needs no change: it already
names `ptr727/Utilities` and `publish-release.yml`, so this restores the
match rather than requiring a new policy.
## Carried content, and one local line that survived
`WORKFLOW.md` described the superseded model, that NuGet pushes from the
leaf, on three of the lines this change contradicts. It is carried at
`intent` fidelity, so it is carried forward from the hub rather than
hand-edited.
It is **not** a clean carry, and a blind re-vendor would have destroyed
something. The guard's exact-phrase probe found one line present here
and in **neither** hub revision: D1.6's statement that `CODECOV_TOKEN`
is mapped explicitly under the calling job's own `secrets:` block. Both
hub revisions instead say it reaches the validator via `secrets:
inherit`. The local line is the accurate one here, since both workflows
map the token explicitly, and it is preserved. The file now differs from
the hub by exactly that one line.
A local review pass then caught that carrying `WORKFLOW.md` had left the
carried Skills behind, which is what an agent actually loads at the
moment this matters. `release-publish-mechanics.md` still said "NuGet
pushes from inside the build-nuget hook", and `workflow-ci-contract`
still listed `nuget` as an orchestrator input. An agent bumping the pin
later would have read the pre-fix model and put the push back inside the
leaf, reproducing the exact failure this change fixes. Seven Skill files
carried from `2.0.536`, verified byte-identical afterward, and verified
a byte-clean carry of `2.0.526` beforehand so nothing local was at risk.
## One behavior change worth knowing
Moving the push out of the leaf reorders it after the GitHub release.
`D4.5` still holds for a failed **build**, which skips this job with the
rest. It does not cover a failed **push**: the release is cut inside
`publish` and `publish-nuget` runs after it, so a token-exchange failure
or a nuget.org outage leaves a release and tag for a version that never
reached NuGet.org. Re-running the publisher is the remedy, since the
release-exists gate and `--skip-duplicate` are both idempotent. That
shape comes from the hub's documented stub rather than from anything
chosen here, and the job comment records it.
## Verification, and its limit
actionlint, markdownlint, CSpell, `editorconfig-checker`, and both hub
gates clean. 212 tests green.
**A green pull request proves nothing about this path.** A smoke build
never reaches either push, which is exactly why this class of failure
survived to the first real release. The evidence will be the first
dispatched release after merge, and that run is what should be read
rather than this pull request.

Owner
Closes#427. Closes#452. Closes#454.
Promotes develop at f2a8f62 to main. One squashed pull request, #455, which closed the three open issues and fixed one defect found while doing so.
The issue-closing keywords sit here rather than on #455, since GitHub only closes an issue when the pull request merges into the default branch, and #455 merged into develop.
What is being promoted
  • StringHistory Limit Properties Misdocument Zero and Do Not Re-Partition When Set #454, the StringHistory limit properties.MaxFirstLines and MaxLastLines were each documented Set to 0 for no limit, which holds only when both are zero. Zero on one side is now documented as retaining no lines on that side, both the constructor and the setters reject a negative value, and assigning a limit re-partitions the lines already stored instead of being ignored. Re-partitioning only ever discards, so what is retained is always a prefix of the appended lines followed by a suffix of them, and once a line has been dropped the head is trimmed but never refilled.
  • Make the Download Tests Deterministic and Offline #452, the download tests. They reached www.google.com and httpstat.us, so the unit-test gate depended on outbound DNS and on two third parties, and paid a five-second sleep on every run. They now drive a loopback HTTP server on an ephemeral port, and the test assembly disables the ambient proxy so a machine with http_proxy set does not send loopback requests through it. Download's public surface is unchanged.
  • Remove references to the private template repo from carried files #427, the coordination reference.HISTORY.md named the template repository in its v3.5 entry and no longer does.
  • A Download defect found during the above.DownloadFile() and DownloadFileAsync() opened the destination with File.OpenWrite(), which does not truncate, so a download over a longer existing file left that file's trailing bytes after the downloaded content and returned true. Both now open with FileMode.OpenOrCreate and truncate with SetLength(0), rewriting in place so the destination's permissions, ownership, and any links to it survive.
  • The version floor, raised to 4.1, with the two shipped fixes recorded in HISTORY.md and README.md.
Verification
The merge is clean and git write-tree on it equals git rev-parse origin/develop^{tree} exactly (0cfd271c), so main ends up with develop's tree and nothing else.
develop carried 206 tests green, the .NET Format clean-compile chain with zero warnings under AnalysisMode=All and TreatWarningsAsErrors, markdownlint, CSpell, actionlint, editorconfig-checker, shellcheck and shfmt clean, and the hub's prose and repository gates clean. #455 went through eight review rounds; every thread was resolved and every suppressed finding answered, with suppressed on_head=0 at the merge.
Releases stay blocked, and this does not unblock them
publish-release.yml still fails at the NuGet OIDC token exchange, because the hub-hosted release chain makes the job_workflow_ref claim name the hub rather than this repository (ProjectTemplate#1126). The fix moves the token exchange and the push back into the calling repository, which needs new content in this repository's publish-release.yml plus a re-pin, and cannot land until that hub change reaches its main. That is a follow-up pull request, so merging this one leaves the latest release at 4.0.38.
Summary by CodeRabbit
  • Bug Fixes
    • Downloads now fully replace existing files, preventing stale or corrupted trailing content.
    • Failed downloads preserve existing destination files and handle unavailable destinations safely.
    • StringHistory now validates limits, preserves discarded-content rules, repartitions stored lines correctly, and supports atomic limit updates.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified download buffering, truncation, partial-download outcomes, file options, and StringHistory behavior.
    • Updated terminology and retry-behavior documentation.
  • Release
    • Updated the project version to 4.1.
@ptr727
Fix the StringHistory Limits and Make the Download Tests Offline (#455)
f2a8f62
Closes#427. Closes#452. Closes#454.
## #454, the `StringHistory` limit properties
`MaxFirstLines` and `MaxLastLines` were each documented `Set to 0 for no
limit`, which holds only when both are zero, the one branch `AppendLine`
treats as unrestricted. Set individually, zero retains none on that
side. The maintainer chose the smaller of the two directions the issue
offered, so the documentation now says what the code does rather than
the code changing to match the documentation.
Three behavioral changes on top of that:
- The constructor and both setters reject a negative value with
`ArgumentOutOfRangeException`, rather than letting it reach `RemoveAt`
and throw after entries have already been taken. The constructor
validates its own parameters, so the exception names `maxFirstLines` or
`maxLastLines` rather than `value`.
- Each setter re-partitions the lines already stored, so a limit
assigned after appending is honored instead of ignored.
- Re-partitioning only ever discards. Once a line has been dropped the
head is closed: it can be trimmed but never refilled, by a later append
or by a later, larger `MaxFirstLines`. What is retained is therefore
always a prefix of the stream followed by a suffix of it, which is
exactly the head-and-tail contract
[`ARCHITECTURE.md`](./ARCHITECTURE.md) states.
That third point is the one worth reviewing closely, and it is the one
two local review passes and a fuzz each found a different defect in
before it settled. A 300000-history fuzz over random append and limit
sequences holds the prefix-plus-suffix contract, the count bound, and
no-duplicates across four and a half million intermediate states.
## #452, the download tests
`DownloadTests` and `DownloadAsyncTests` reached `www.google.com` and
`httpstat.us`, so the unit-test gate depended on outbound DNS and on two
third parties it does not control, and paid a five-second sleep on every
run to exercise the timeout path.
They now drive a loopback HTTP server bound to an ephemeral port.
`Download`'s public surface is unchanged, so the `Lazy<HttpClient>`
contract in `ARCHITECTURE.md` still holds and the seam the issue offered
as the larger alternative was not needed.
- The server writes HTTP/1.1 onto a `TcpListener` socket rather than
using `HttpListener`, which on Windows resolves an explicit-address
prefix through http.sys and needs a URL reservation an unelevated
developer does not have. CI is Linux-only, so nothing here would have
caught that.
- Binding port 0 and reading the port back removes the probe-then-bind
race a first draft had.
- The negative case is a 404 from that server rather than a hostname
expected never to resolve, which a wildcard registration or a
captive-portal resolver would have silently inverted.
- The cancellation test waits for the server to signal that it holds the
request, cancels only then, and asserts the call returned well inside
the route's own delay. Asserting only that the call returned false would
have passed just as well if the server had never started.
- Both not-found tests assert the server actually routed the request,
for the same reason.
- The test assembly disables the ambient proxy. `HttpClientFactory`
leaves `SocketsHttpHandler.UseProxy` at its default, so a client
resolves `HttpClient.DefaultProxy`, which on Unix is read from
`http_proxy` and bypasses loopback only where `no_proxy` says to. A
machine configured that way would send every loopback request to a
proxy, which is the environment dependence this issue exists to remove.
The suite is 200 tests and runs in about one second, against 193 tests
and roughly six seconds before. Twenty consecutive runs were clean.
## #427, the coordination reference
`HISTORY.md` named the template repository in its v3.5 entry. It now
states what changed without naming where it came from.
`.github/copilot-instructions.md`, the other file the issue named, was
already clear, and the hub's own audit reports this repository clean.
A reviewer may read the `HISTORY.md` hunk as an out-of-scope edit to a
shipped release record. It is #427's deliverable rather than incidental
churn.
## Verification
`.NET Format` (CSharpier, build, `dotnet format style
--verify-no-changes`) clean, zero warnings under `AnalysisMode=All` and
`TreatWarningsAsErrors`. markdownlint, CSpell, actionlint,
`editorconfig-checker`, shellcheck and shfmt clean. The hub's prose gate
and repository gate both clean.
## One thing beyond the three issues
`Download.DownloadFile()` and `DownloadFileAsync()` opened the
destination with `File.OpenWrite()`, which is `FileMode.OpenOrCreate`
and does not truncate, so a download over a longer existing file left
that file's trailing bytes after the downloaded content and returned
`true`. A local review pass raised it, and the maintainer asked for it
here rather than as a separate issue.
**The fix changed shape twice before settling, so read the current
behavior here rather than in the commit history.** Both methods now open
the destination with `FileMode.OpenOrCreate` and truncate it with
`SetLength(0)`, rewriting it in place. Its permissions, ownership, and
any hard links or symlinks to it survive, which a probe confirms on
Linux: mode 0600 stays 0600 with the file truncated to the body's
length, a hard link sees the new content, a symlink is written through
rather than replaced, and a read-only destination is refused with the
file intact.
The cost, which the release notes now state rather than leave implicit:
truncation happens once the response headers are accepted, so a download
that fails partway leaves a short file, where `File.OpenWrite()` left
the original bytes behind the newly written ones.
Two approaches were tried and rejected on the way, both by local review
passes:
- `FileMode.Create`, which empties the destination before a single body
byte exists, and which Windows refuses outright against a hidden file
where `OpenOrCreate` succeeds.
- Writing beside the destination and moving the result into place. That
gives the strongest failure guarantee, an untouched destination, but it
replaces the file's identity rather than its contents. Probed on Linux:
a 0600 destination came back 0664, a symlink was replaced by a regular
file leaving its target stale, a hard link kept the old content, and a
read-only destination was silently overwritten, since `rename(2)`
consults the directory's permission and not the file's, while Windows
refuses that same move. The maintainer chose in-place rewriting over
that trade.
Six tests cover it: two for the overwrite, two for a request that fails
before the response is accepted, and two for a destination that cannot
be opened.
## Not in this change
- The failing `Publish project release` run is the NuGet OIDC
`job_workflow_ref` claim,
[ProjectTemplate#1126](ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1126).
The fix moves the token exchange and the push into the calling
repository, so this repository's `publish-release.yml` needs new content
plus a re-pin. That cannot merge usefully until the hub fix reaches its
`main`, so it is a follow-up rather than part of this change.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:
1. Atomic temporary-file replacement
  • ➕ Preserves the original destination when a body transfer fails.
  • ➕ Can make completed downloads atomic.
  • ➖ May replace permissions, ownership, hard links, or other destination metadata.
  • ➖ Changes the documented partial-download behavior and adds cross-platform replacement complexity.
2. Injected HTTP message handler
  • ➕ Avoids opening sockets and makes response scenarios inexpensive to simulate.
  • ➕ Eliminates ambient proxy concerns within tests.
  • ➖ Requires an injection seam around the shared client.
  • ➖ Does not exercise real socket transport, HTTP framing, or cancellation behavior.
3. Retain the complete StringHistory stream
  • ➕ Makes every limit change fully reversible.
  • ➕ Simplifies repartitioning by deriving the view from canonical history.
  • ➖ Defeats the bounded-memory purpose of StringHistory.
  • ➖ Allows previously discarded lines to reappear, violating the selected retention contract.
Recommendation: Keep the PR’s approach. Rewriting the destination in place preserves filesystem identity, the loopback server validates real HTTP behavior without third-party dependencies, and discard-only StringHistory repartitioning maintains bounded storage and stable stream semantics. The alternatives offer stronger atomicity or simpler simulation but conflict with existing contracts or introduce broader architectural changes.

🔵 Needs a closer look
It promotes multiple public-contract behavioral changes (I/O semantics and StringHistory retention rules) where final approval should include a human validation pass of the intended compatibility tradeoffs.
Pull request overview
Promotes develop to main by releasing version 4.1, including a Download overwrite/truncation correctness fix, a tightened and explicitly documented StringHistory head/tail retention contract (including negative-limit validation and post-set repartitioning), and deterministic offline download tests via a loopback HTTP server.
Changes:
  • Bumped the shipped version floor to 4.1 and updated release notes/docs to describe the new behavioral contracts.
  • Fixed Download.DownloadFile() / DownloadFileAsync() to truncate and rewrite destinations in place to avoid trailing-byte corruption when overwriting longer existing files.
  • Updated StringHistory limits to validate negatives, repartition stored history on limit changes, and document the “0 means keep none on that side” contract; updated tests accordingly (including offline download tests).

Apply Both StringHistory Limits in One Re-Partition (#457)
ecf7b55
Answers the two findings from the review of the `develop -> main`
promotion, #456. Neither could be pushed there, since that pull
request's head is `develop`, so both land here first and #456 picks them
up.
## `StringHistory.SetLimits()`
Assigning `MaxFirstLines` and `MaxLastLines` one after the other
re-partitions twice, so the first assignment measures against the other
limit's previous value and discards lines the final pair would have
retained. On a default history holding ten lines:
```text
MaxFirstLines = 2; MaxLastLines = 3; -> 2 lines retained
MaxLastLines = 3; MaxFirstLines = 2; -> 3 lines retained
SetLimits(2, 3) -> 5 lines retained
```
The two-argument constructor was the only way to apply a pair
atomically, and it does not reach an instance that already holds lines.
`SetLimits()` validates both values, assigns both fields, and
re-partitions once.
Worth stating precisely, because the first draft of this change
over-claimed it and a local pass caught it: it is not that no ordering
ever avoids the loss. For a given target pair one order is often
lossless, and an exhaustive sweep of the reachable states found 264
where exactly one is. What holds is that **which** order works depends
on the values and on what is stored, so no fixed ordering is safe.
Six tests: the atomic case, the divergence from separate assignment,
both negative arguments, clearing to the unrestricted mode, and
`Repartition()`'s discarded branch reached through `SetLimits()`, which
caps each side against its own counter rather than against the whole
list.
The 300000-history fuzz now drives `SetLimits()` alongside the two
setters, holding the prefix-plus-suffix contract, the count bound, no
duplicates, and that an assignment never adds a line, across four and a
half million states.
## The grammar finding, and what it turned up
`AOT safe` becomes `AOT-safe` where it modifies a noun. The same
compound sits in `HttpClientFactory` and `AssemblyInfo` doc comments, so
those are corrected rather than left disagreeing with the release note.
Editing those two files brought them under the whole-file rule, which
surfaced three defects none of them on a changed line:
- `ARCHITECTURE.md` said `StringCompression` "passes `leaveOpen` so the
caller keeps ownership of the stream it supplied". Every public member
takes and returns a `string`; the only stream is one the method creates
and disposes itself, so a consumer would look for an overload that does
not exist.
- `AssemblyInfo`'s type summary read "AOT and trim safe", the last
unhyphenated instance in the repository and the copy that ships in the
XML docs.
- `HttpClientFactory`'s retry comment said a 4xx is not retried, three
lines below a bullet that retries 408 and 429.
## Verification
212 tests green. `.NET Format` clean-compile with zero warnings under
`AnalysisMode=All` and `TreatWarningsAsErrors`. markdownlint, CSpell,
`editorconfig-checker`, and both hub gates clean, the prose gate run
over whole files rather than changed lines.
## Not in this change
The `Publish project release` failure is the NuGet OIDC
`job_workflow_ref` claim,
[ProjectTemplate#1126](ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1126),
which needs a caller-side stub change here plus a re-pin once the hub
fix reaches its `main`.

Repair the Garbled Clause in the SetLimits Remark
3a54d0d
The sentence read "so no fixed ordering is safe and this applies both before
re-partitioning at all", which was meant as "this method applies both limits
before re-partitioning at all" and parses as neither. It is the remark a consumer
sees in IntelliSense on a published package, and it was explaining the one thing
the method exists for, so an unreadable clause there is worth its own fix.
Raised by a reviewer on the promotion pull request, #456, whose head is develop
and cannot carry a fix. It rides here rather than in a third pull request for one
sentence, which costs this one a review round and saves a whole cycle.
@ptr727
Push the NuGet Package From This Repository Rather Than the Hub Task (#…
137ab39
…458)
Restores NuGet publishing, which has been broken since this repository
adopted the hub release chain. This is this repository's half of the hub
fix,
[ProjectTemplate#1126](ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1126),
landed in the hub as `2.0.536`.
## What broke and why
The first real release after adopting the chain, [run
33336000403](https://github.com/ptr727/Utilities/actions/runs/33336000403),
failed at the NuGet.org token exchange:
```text
Token exchange failed (HTTP 401). Claim 'job_workflow_ref' has value
'<owner>/ProjectTemplate/.github/workflows/build-release-task.yml@f3b4cc9'
which does not start with <owner>/Utilities/.github/workflows/.
```
Trusted publishing validates that claim against the repository owning
the package, and the claim names the workflow the job actually ran from.
A push made from a hub-hosted task can never satisfy it, and a caller
hook does not help either, since a composite action runs inside the
hub's job. The hub therefore builds the package and uploads it, and the
calling repository pushes it.
## The change
**The pin and the stub edit are one change, not two.** The hub removed
the `nuget:` input and the `NUGET_USERNAME` secret from the task, so a
pin bump on its own startup-fails against names the task no longer
declares. All six references across three workflows move from `2.0.526`
to `2.0.536`.
I verified that mechanically rather than by reading: every input and
every secret each of the four callers passes is declared on the
corresponding task at `1fe2537`, and no newly-required input is
unpassed.
- `publish` drops the `NUGET_USERNAME` mapping, the `id-token: write`
grant and the `nuget:` input, keeping `enable_nuget` so the task still
builds and uploads the package.
- A new `publish-nuget` job downloads `nuget-build-${{ github.ref_name
}}`, trades the GitHub OIDC token for a short-lived NuGet key, and
pushes. `id-token: write` sits on that one job, which is what D7.2 asks
for.
- The smoke path drops `nuget: false` with them.
- Your nuget.org trusted-publishing policy needs no change: it already
names `ptr727/Utilities` and `publish-release.yml`, so this restores the
match rather than requiring a new policy.
## Carried content, and one local line that survived
`WORKFLOW.md` described the superseded model, that NuGet pushes from the
leaf, on three of the lines this change contradicts. It is carried at
`intent` fidelity, so it is carried forward from the hub rather than
hand-edited.
It is **not** a clean carry, and a blind re-vendor would have destroyed
something. The guard's exact-phrase probe found one line present here
and in **neither** hub revision: D1.6's statement that `CODECOV_TOKEN`
is mapped explicitly under the calling job's own `secrets:` block. Both
hub revisions instead say it reaches the validator via `secrets:
inherit`. The local line is the accurate one here, since both workflows
map the token explicitly, and it is preserved. The file now differs from
the hub by exactly that one line.
A local review pass then caught that carrying `WORKFLOW.md` had left the
carried Skills behind, which is what an agent actually loads at the
moment this matters. `release-publish-mechanics.md` still said "NuGet
pushes from inside the build-nuget hook", and `workflow-ci-contract`
still listed `nuget` as an orchestrator input. An agent bumping the pin
later would have read the pre-fix model and put the push back inside the
leaf, reproducing the exact failure this change fixes. Seven Skill files
carried from `2.0.536`, verified byte-identical afterward, and verified
a byte-clean carry of `2.0.526` beforehand so nothing local was at risk.
## One behavior change worth knowing
Moving the push out of the leaf reorders it after the GitHub release.
`D4.5` still holds for a failed **build**, which skips this job with the
rest. It does not cover a failed **push**: the release is cut inside
`publish` and `publish-nuget` runs after it, so a token-exchange failure
or a nuget.org outage leaves a release and tag for a version that never
reached NuGet.org. Re-running the publisher is the remedy, since the
release-exists gate and `--skip-duplicate` are both idempotent. That
shape comes from the hub's documented stub rather than from anything
chosen here, and the job comment records it.
## Verification, and its limit
actionlint, markdownlint, CSpell, `editorconfig-checker`, and both hub
gates clean. 212 tests green.
**A green pull request proves nothing about this path.** A smoke build
never reaches either push, which is exactly why this class of failure
survived to the first real release. The evidence will be the first
dispatched release after merge, and that run is what should be read
rather than this pull request.

Owner
Closes#427. Closes#452. Closes#454.
Promotes develop at f2a8f62 to main. One squashed pull request, #455, which closed the three open issues and fixed one defect found while doing so.
The issue-closing keywords sit here rather than on #455, since GitHub only closes an issue when the pull request merges into the default branch, and #455 merged into develop.
What is being promoted
  • StringHistory Limit Properties Misdocument Zero and Do Not Re-Partition When Set #454, the StringHistory limit properties.MaxFirstLines and MaxLastLines were each documented Set to 0 for no limit, which holds only when both are zero. Zero on one side is now documented as retaining no lines on that side, both the constructor and the setters reject a negative value, and assigning a limit re-partitions the lines already stored instead of being ignored. Re-partitioning only ever discards, so what is retained is always a prefix of the appended lines followed by a suffix of them, and once a line has been dropped the head is trimmed but never refilled.
  • Make the Download Tests Deterministic and Offline #452, the download tests. They reached www.google.com and httpstat.us, so the unit-test gate depended on outbound DNS and on two third parties, and paid a five-second sleep on every run. They now drive a loopback HTTP server on an ephemeral port, and the test assembly disables the ambient proxy so a machine with http_proxy set does not send loopback requests through it. Download's public surface is unchanged.
  • Remove references to the private template repo from carried files #427, the coordination reference.HISTORY.md named the template repository in its v3.5 entry and no longer does.
  • A Download defect found during the above.DownloadFile() and DownloadFileAsync() opened the destination with File.OpenWrite(), which does not truncate, so a download over a longer existing file left that file's trailing bytes after the downloaded content and returned true. Both now open with FileMode.OpenOrCreate and truncate with SetLength(0), rewriting in place so the destination's permissions, ownership, and any links to it survive.
  • The version floor, raised to 4.1, with the two shipped fixes recorded in HISTORY.md and README.md.
Verification
The merge is clean and git write-tree on it equals git rev-parse origin/develop^{tree} exactly (0cfd271c), so main ends up with develop's tree and nothing else.
develop carried 206 tests green, the .NET Format clean-compile chain with zero warnings under AnalysisMode=All and TreatWarningsAsErrors, markdownlint, CSpell, actionlint, editorconfig-checker, shellcheck and shfmt clean, and the hub's prose and repository gates clean. #455 went through eight review rounds; every thread was resolved and every suppressed finding answered, with suppressed on_head=0 at the merge.
Releases stay blocked, and this does not unblock them
publish-release.yml still fails at the NuGet OIDC token exchange, because the hub-hosted release chain makes the job_workflow_ref claim name the hub rather than this repository (ProjectTemplate#1126). The fix moves the token exchange and the push back into the calling repository, which needs new content in this repository's publish-release.yml plus a re-pin, and cannot land until that hub change reaches its main. That is a follow-up pull request, so merging this one leaves the latest release at 4.0.38.
Summary by CodeRabbit
  • Bug Fixes
    • Downloads now fully replace existing files, preventing stale or corrupted trailing content.
    • Failed downloads preserve existing destination files and handle unavailable destinations safely.
    • StringHistory now validates limits, preserves discarded-content rules, repartitions stored lines correctly, and supports atomic limit updates.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified download buffering, truncation, partial-download outcomes, file options, and StringHistory behavior.
    • Updated terminology and retry-behavior documentation.
  • Release
    • Updated the project version to 4.1.
@ptr727
Fix the StringHistory Limits and Make the Download Tests Offline (#455)
f2a8f62
Closes#427. Closes#452. Closes#454.
## #454, the `StringHistory` limit properties
`MaxFirstLines` and `MaxLastLines` were each documented `Set to 0 for no
limit`, which holds only when both are zero, the one branch `AppendLine`
treats as unrestricted. Set individually, zero retains none on that
side. The maintainer chose the smaller of the two directions the issue
offered, so the documentation now says what the code does rather than
the code changing to match the documentation.
Three behavioral changes on top of that:
- The constructor and both setters reject a negative value with
`ArgumentOutOfRangeException`, rather than letting it reach `RemoveAt`
and throw after entries have already been taken. The constructor
validates its own parameters, so the exception names `maxFirstLines` or
`maxLastLines` rather than `value`.
- Each setter re-partitions the lines already stored, so a limit
assigned after appending is honored instead of ignored.
- Re-partitioning only ever discards. Once a line has been dropped the
head is closed: it can be trimmed but never refilled, by a later append
or by a later, larger `MaxFirstLines`. What is retained is therefore
always a prefix of the stream followed by a suffix of it, which is
exactly the head-and-tail contract
[`ARCHITECTURE.md`](./ARCHITECTURE.md) states.
That third point is the one worth reviewing closely, and it is the one
two local review passes and a fuzz each found a different defect in
before it settled. A 300000-history fuzz over random append and limit
sequences holds the prefix-plus-suffix contract, the count bound, and
no-duplicates across four and a half million intermediate states.
## #452, the download tests
`DownloadTests` and `DownloadAsyncTests` reached `www.google.com` and
`httpstat.us`, so the unit-test gate depended on outbound DNS and on two
third parties it does not control, and paid a five-second sleep on every
run to exercise the timeout path.
They now drive a loopback HTTP server bound to an ephemeral port.
`Download`'s public surface is unchanged, so the `Lazy<HttpClient>`
contract in `ARCHITECTURE.md` still holds and the seam the issue offered
as the larger alternative was not needed.
- The server writes HTTP/1.1 onto a `TcpListener` socket rather than
using `HttpListener`, which on Windows resolves an explicit-address
prefix through http.sys and needs a URL reservation an unelevated
developer does not have. CI is Linux-only, so nothing here would have
caught that.
- Binding port 0 and reading the port back removes the probe-then-bind
race a first draft had.
- The negative case is a 404 from that server rather than a hostname
expected never to resolve, which a wildcard registration or a
captive-portal resolver would have silently inverted.
- The cancellation test waits for the server to signal that it holds the
request, cancels only then, and asserts the call returned well inside
the route's own delay. Asserting only that the call returned false would
have passed just as well if the server had never started.
- Both not-found tests assert the server actually routed the request,
for the same reason.
- The test assembly disables the ambient proxy. `HttpClientFactory`
leaves `SocketsHttpHandler.UseProxy` at its default, so a client
resolves `HttpClient.DefaultProxy`, which on Unix is read from
`http_proxy` and bypasses loopback only where `no_proxy` says to. A
machine configured that way would send every loopback request to a
proxy, which is the environment dependence this issue exists to remove.
The suite is 200 tests and runs in about one second, against 193 tests
and roughly six seconds before. Twenty consecutive runs were clean.
## #427, the coordination reference
`HISTORY.md` named the template repository in its v3.5 entry. It now
states what changed without naming where it came from.
`.github/copilot-instructions.md`, the other file the issue named, was
already clear, and the hub's own audit reports this repository clean.
A reviewer may read the `HISTORY.md` hunk as an out-of-scope edit to a
shipped release record. It is #427's deliverable rather than incidental
churn.
## Verification
`.NET Format` (CSharpier, build, `dotnet format style
--verify-no-changes`) clean, zero warnings under `AnalysisMode=All` and
`TreatWarningsAsErrors`. markdownlint, CSpell, actionlint,
`editorconfig-checker`, shellcheck and shfmt clean. The hub's prose gate
and repository gate both clean.
## One thing beyond the three issues
`Download.DownloadFile()` and `DownloadFileAsync()` opened the
destination with `File.OpenWrite()`, which is `FileMode.OpenOrCreate`
and does not truncate, so a download over a longer existing file left
that file's trailing bytes after the downloaded content and returned
`true`. A local review pass raised it, and the maintainer asked for it
here rather than as a separate issue.
**The fix changed shape twice before settling, so read the current
behavior here rather than in the commit history.** Both methods now open
the destination with `FileMode.OpenOrCreate` and truncate it with
`SetLength(0)`, rewriting it in place. Its permissions, ownership, and
any hard links or symlinks to it survive, which a probe confirms on
Linux: mode 0600 stays 0600 with the file truncated to the body's
length, a hard link sees the new content, a symlink is written through
rather than replaced, and a read-only destination is refused with the
file intact.
The cost, which the release notes now state rather than leave implicit:
truncation happens once the response headers are accepted, so a download
that fails partway leaves a short file, where `File.OpenWrite()` left
the original bytes behind the newly written ones.
Two approaches were tried and rejected on the way, both by local review
passes:
- `FileMode.Create`, which empties the destination before a single body
byte exists, and which Windows refuses outright against a hidden file
where `OpenOrCreate` succeeds.
- Writing beside the destination and moving the result into place. That
gives the strongest failure guarantee, an untouched destination, but it
replaces the file's identity rather than its contents. Probed on Linux:
a 0600 destination came back 0664, a symlink was replaced by a regular
file leaving its target stale, a hard link kept the old content, and a
read-only destination was silently overwritten, since `rename(2)`
consults the directory's permission and not the file's, while Windows
refuses that same move. The maintainer chose in-place rewriting over
that trade.
Six tests cover it: two for the overwrite, two for a request that fails
before the response is accepted, and two for a destination that cannot
be opened.
## Not in this change
- The failing `Publish project release` run is the NuGet OIDC
`job_workflow_ref` claim,
[ProjectTemplate#1126](ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1126).
The fix moves the token exchange and the push into the calling
repository, so this repository's `publish-release.yml` needs new content
plus a re-pin. That cannot merge usefully until the hub fix reaches its
`main`, so it is a follow-up rather than part of this change.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:
1. Atomic temporary-file replacement
  • ➕ Preserves the original destination when a body transfer fails.
  • ➕ Can make completed downloads atomic.
  • ➖ May replace permissions, ownership, hard links, or other destination metadata.
  • ➖ Changes the documented partial-download behavior and adds cross-platform replacement complexity.
2. Injected HTTP message handler
  • ➕ Avoids opening sockets and makes response scenarios inexpensive to simulate.
  • ➕ Eliminates ambient proxy concerns within tests.
  • ➖ Requires an injection seam around the shared client.
  • ➖ Does not exercise real socket transport, HTTP framing, or cancellation behavior.
3. Retain the complete StringHistory stream
  • ➕ Makes every limit change fully reversible.
  • ➕ Simplifies repartitioning by deriving the view from canonical history.
  • ➖ Defeats the bounded-memory purpose of StringHistory.
  • ➖ Allows previously discarded lines to reappear, violating the selected retention contract.
Recommendation: Keep the PR’s approach. Rewriting the destination in place preserves filesystem identity, the loopback server validates real HTTP behavior without third-party dependencies, and discard-only StringHistory repartitioning maintains bounded storage and stable stream semantics. The alternatives offer stronger atomicity or simpler simulation but conflict with existing contracts or introduce broader architectural changes.

🔵 Needs a closer look
It promotes multiple public-contract behavioral changes (I/O semantics and StringHistory retention rules) where final approval should include a human validation pass of the intended compatibility tradeoffs.
Pull request overview
Promotes develop to main by releasing version 4.1, including a Download overwrite/truncation correctness fix, a tightened and explicitly documented StringHistory head/tail retention contract (including negative-limit validation and post-set repartitioning), and deterministic offline download tests via a loopback HTTP server.
Changes:
  • Bumped the shipped version floor to 4.1 and updated release notes/docs to describe the new behavioral contracts.
  • Fixed Download.DownloadFile() / DownloadFileAsync() to truncate and rewrite destinations in place to avoid trailing-byte corruption when overwriting longer existing files.
  • Updated StringHistory limits to validate negatives, repartition stored history on limit changes, and document the “0 means keep none on that side” contract; updated tests accordingly (including offline download tests).

Apply Both StringHistory Limits in One Re-Partition (#457)
ecf7b55
Answers the two findings from the review of the `develop -> main`
promotion, #456. Neither could be pushed there, since that pull
request's head is `develop`, so both land here first and #456 picks them
up.
## `StringHistory.SetLimits()`
Assigning `MaxFirstLines` and `MaxLastLines` one after the other
re-partitions twice, so the first assignment measures against the other
limit's previous value and discards lines the final pair would have
retained. On a default history holding ten lines:
```text
MaxFirstLines = 2; MaxLastLines = 3; -> 2 lines retained
MaxLastLines = 3; MaxFirstLines = 2; -> 3 lines retained
SetLimits(2, 3) -> 5 lines retained
```
The two-argument constructor was the only way to apply a pair
atomically, and it does not reach an instance that already holds lines.
`SetLimits()` validates both values, assigns both fields, and
re-partitions once.
Worth stating precisely, because the first draft of this change
over-claimed it and a local pass caught it: it is not that no ordering
ever avoids the loss. For a given target pair one order is often
lossless, and an exhaustive sweep of the reachable states found 264
where exactly one is. What holds is that **which** order works depends
on the values and on what is stored, so no fixed ordering is safe.
Six tests: the atomic case, the divergence from separate assignment,
both negative arguments, clearing to the unrestricted mode, and
`Repartition()`'s discarded branch reached through `SetLimits()`, which
caps each side against its own counter rather than against the whole
list.
The 300000-history fuzz now drives `SetLimits()` alongside the two
setters, holding the prefix-plus-suffix contract, the count bound, no
duplicates, and that an assignment never adds a line, across four and a
half million states.
## The grammar finding, and what it turned up
`AOT safe` becomes `AOT-safe` where it modifies a noun. The same
compound sits in `HttpClientFactory` and `AssemblyInfo` doc comments, so
those are corrected rather than left disagreeing with the release note.
Editing those two files brought them under the whole-file rule, which
surfaced three defects none of them on a changed line:
- `ARCHITECTURE.md` said `StringCompression` "passes `leaveOpen` so the
caller keeps ownership of the stream it supplied". Every public member
takes and returns a `string`; the only stream is one the method creates
and disposes itself, so a consumer would look for an overload that does
not exist.
- `AssemblyInfo`'s type summary read "AOT and trim safe", the last
unhyphenated instance in the repository and the copy that ships in the
XML docs.
- `HttpClientFactory`'s retry comment said a 4xx is not retried, three
lines below a bullet that retries 408 and 429.
## Verification
212 tests green. `.NET Format` clean-compile with zero warnings under
`AnalysisMode=All` and `TreatWarningsAsErrors`. markdownlint, CSpell,
`editorconfig-checker`, and both hub gates clean, the prose gate run
over whole files rather than changed lines.
## Not in this change
The `Publish project release` failure is the NuGet OIDC
`job_workflow_ref` claim,
[ProjectTemplate#1126](ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1126),
which needs a caller-side stub change here plus a re-pin once the hub
fix reaches its `main`.

Repair the Garbled Clause in the SetLimits Remark
3a54d0d
The sentence read "so no fixed ordering is safe and this applies both before
re-partitioning at all", which was meant as "this method applies both limits
before re-partitioning at all" and parses as neither. It is the remark a consumer
sees in IntelliSense on a published package, and it was explaining the one thing
the method exists for, so an unreadable clause there is worth its own fix.
Raised by a reviewer on the promotion pull request, #456, whose head is develop
and cannot carry a fix. It rides here rather than in a third pull request for one
sentence, which costs this one a review round and saves a whole cycle.
@ptr727
Push the NuGet Package From This Repository Rather Than the Hub Task (#…
137ab39
…458)
Restores NuGet publishing, which has been broken since this repository
adopted the hub release chain. This is this repository's half of the hub
fix,
[ProjectTemplate#1126](ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1126),
landed in the hub as `2.0.536`.
## What broke and why
The first real release after adopting the chain, [run
33336000403](https://github.com/ptr727/Utilities/actions/runs/33336000403),
failed at the NuGet.org token exchange:
```text
Token exchange failed (HTTP 401). Claim 'job_workflow_ref' has value
'<owner>/ProjectTemplate/.github/workflows/build-release-task.yml@f3b4cc9'
which does not start with <owner>/Utilities/.github/workflows/.
```
Trusted publishing validates that claim against the repository owning
the package, and the claim names the workflow the job actually ran from.
A push made from a hub-hosted task can never satisfy it, and a caller
hook does not help either, since a composite action runs inside the
hub's job. The hub therefore builds the package and uploads it, and the
calling repository pushes it.
## The change
**The pin and the stub edit are one change, not two.** The hub removed
the `nuget:` input and the `NUGET_USERNAME` secret from the task, so a
pin bump on its own startup-fails against names the task no longer
declares. All six references across three workflows move from `2.0.526`
to `2.0.536`.
I verified that mechanically rather than by reading: every input and
every secret each of the four callers passes is declared on the
corresponding task at `1fe2537`, and no newly-required input is
unpassed.
- `publish` drops the `NUGET_USERNAME` mapping, the `id-token: write`
grant and the `nuget:` input, keeping `enable_nuget` so the task still
builds and uploads the package.
- A new `publish-nuget` job downloads `nuget-build-${{ github.ref_name
}}`, trades the GitHub OIDC token for a short-lived NuGet key, and
pushes. `id-token: write` sits on that one job, which is what D7.2 asks
for.
- The smoke path drops `nuget: false` with them.
- Your nuget.org trusted-publishing policy needs no change: it already
names `ptr727/Utilities` and `publish-release.yml`, so this restores the
match rather than requiring a new policy.
## Carried content, and one local line that survived
`WORKFLOW.md` described the superseded model, that NuGet pushes from the
leaf, on three of the lines this change contradicts. It is carried at
`intent` fidelity, so it is carried forward from the hub rather than
hand-edited.
It is **not** a clean carry, and a blind re-vendor would have destroyed
something. The guard's exact-phrase probe found one line present here
and in **neither** hub revision: D1.6's statement that `CODECOV_TOKEN`
is mapped explicitly under the calling job's own `secrets:` block. Both
hub revisions instead say it reaches the validator via `secrets:
inherit`. The local line is the accurate one here, since both workflows
map the token explicitly, and it is preserved. The file now differs from
the hub by exactly that one line.
A local review pass then caught that carrying `WORKFLOW.md` had left the
carried Skills behind, which is what an agent actually loads at the
moment this matters. `release-publish-mechanics.md` still said "NuGet
pushes from inside the build-nuget hook", and `workflow-ci-contract`
still listed `nuget` as an orchestrator input. An agent bumping the pin
later would have read the pre-fix model and put the push back inside the
leaf, reproducing the exact failure this change fixes. Seven Skill files
carried from `2.0.536`, verified byte-identical afterward, and verified
a byte-clean carry of `2.0.526` beforehand so nothing local was at risk.
## One behavior change worth knowing
Moving the push out of the leaf reorders it after the GitHub release.
`D4.5` still holds for a failed **build**, which skips this job with the
rest. It does not cover a failed **push**: the release is cut inside
`publish` and `publish-nuget` runs after it, so a token-exchange failure
or a nuget.org outage leaves a release and tag for a version that never
reached NuGet.org. Re-running the publisher is the remedy, since the
release-exists gate and `--skip-duplicate` are both idempotent. That
shape comes from the hub's documented stub rather than from anything
chosen here, and the job comment records it.
## Verification, and its limit
actionlint, markdownlint, CSpell, `editorconfig-checker`, and both hub
gates clean. 212 tests green.
**A green pull request proves nothing about this path.** A smoke build
never reaches either push, which is exactly why this class of failure
survived to the first real release. The evidence will be the first
dispatched release after merge, and that run is what should be read
rather than this pull request.

Closes#427. Closes#452. Closes#454.
Promotes develop at f2a8f62 to main. One squashed pull request, #455, which closed the three open issues and fixed one defect found while doing so.
The issue-closing keywords sit here rather than on #455, since GitHub only closes an issue when the pull request merges into the default branch, and #455 merged into develop.
What is being promoted
  • StringHistory Limit Properties Misdocument Zero and Do Not Re-Partition When Set #454, the StringHistory limit properties.MaxFirstLines and MaxLastLines were each documented Set to 0 for no limit, which holds only when both are zero. Zero on one side is now documented as retaining no lines on that side, both the constructor and the setters reject a negative value, and assigning a limit re-partitions the lines already stored instead of being ignored. Re-partitioning only ever discards, so what is retained is always a prefix of the appended lines followed by a suffix of them, and once a line has been dropped the head is trimmed but never refilled.
  • Make the Download Tests Deterministic and Offline #452, the download tests. They reached www.google.com and httpstat.us, so the unit-test gate depended on outbound DNS and on two third parties, and paid a five-second sleep on every run. They now drive a loopback HTTP server on an ephemeral port, and the test assembly disables the ambient proxy so a machine with http_proxy set does not send loopback requests through it. Download's public surface is unchanged.
  • Remove references to the private template repo from carried files #427, the coordination reference.HISTORY.md named the template repository in its v3.5 entry and no longer does.
  • A Download defect found during the above.DownloadFile() and DownloadFileAsync() opened the destination with File.OpenWrite(), which does not truncate, so a download over a longer existing file left that file's trailing bytes after the downloaded content and returned true. Both now open with FileMode.OpenOrCreate and truncate with SetLength(0), rewriting in place so the destination's permissions, ownership, and any links to it survive.
  • The version floor, raised to 4.1, with the two shipped fixes recorded in HISTORY.md and README.md.
Verification
The merge is clean and git write-tree on it equals git rev-parse origin/develop^{tree} exactly (0cfd271c), so main ends up with develop's tree and nothing else.
develop carried 206 tests green, the .NET Format clean-compile chain with zero warnings under AnalysisMode=All and TreatWarningsAsErrors, markdownlint, CSpell, actionlint, editorconfig-checker, shellcheck and shfmt clean, and the hub's prose and repository gates clean. #455 went through eight review rounds; every thread was resolved and every suppressed finding answered, with suppressed on_head=0 at the merge.
Releases stay blocked, and this does not unblock them
publish-release.yml still fails at the NuGet OIDC token exchange, because the hub-hosted release chain makes the job_workflow_ref claim name the hub rather than this repository (ProjectTemplate#1126). The fix moves the token exchange and the push back into the calling repository, which needs new content in this repository's publish-release.yml plus a re-pin, and cannot land until that hub change reaches its main. That is a follow-up pull request, so merging this one leaves the latest release at 4.0.38.

  • Documentation
    • Clarified download buffering, truncation, partial-download outcomes, file options, and StringHistory behavior.
    • Updated terminology and retry-behavior documentation.
  • Release
    • Updated the project version to 4.1.

Fix the StringHistory Limits and Make the Download Tests Offline (#455)
f2a8f62
Closes#427. Closes#452. Closes#454.
## #454, the `StringHistory` limit properties
`MaxFirstLines` and `MaxLastLines` were each documented `Set to 0 for no
limit`, which holds only when both are zero, the one branch `AppendLine`
treats as unrestricted. Set individually, zero retains none on that
side. The maintainer chose the smaller of the two directions the issue
offered, so the documentation now says what the code does rather than
the code changing to match the documentation.
Three behavioral changes on top of that:
- The constructor and both setters reject a negative value with
`ArgumentOutOfRangeException`, rather than letting it reach `RemoveAt`
and throw after entries have already been taken. The constructor
validates its own parameters, so the exception names `maxFirstLines` or
`maxLastLines` rather than `value`.
- Each setter re-partitions the lines already stored, so a limit
assigned after appending is honored instead of ignored.
- Re-partitioning only ever discards. Once a line has been dropped the
head is closed: it can be trimmed but never refilled, by a later append
or by a later, larger `MaxFirstLines`. What is retained is therefore
always a prefix of the stream followed by a suffix of it, which is
exactly the head-and-tail contract
[`ARCHITECTURE.md`](./ARCHITECTURE.md) states.
That third point is the one worth reviewing closely, and it is the one
two local review passes and a fuzz each found a different defect in
before it settled. A 300000-history fuzz over random append and limit
sequences holds the prefix-plus-suffix contract, the count bound, and
no-duplicates across four and a half million intermediate states.
## #452, the download tests
`DownloadTests` and `DownloadAsyncTests` reached `www.google.com` and
`httpstat.us`, so the unit-test gate depended on outbound DNS and on two
third parties it does not control, and paid a five-second sleep on every
run to exercise the timeout path.
They now drive a loopback HTTP server bound to an ephemeral port.
`Download`'s public surface is unchanged, so the `Lazy<HttpClient>`
contract in `ARCHITECTURE.md` still holds and the seam the issue offered
as the larger alternative was not needed.
- The server writes HTTP/1.1 onto a `TcpListener` socket rather than
using `HttpListener`, which on Windows resolves an explicit-address
prefix through http.sys and needs a URL reservation an unelevated
developer does not have. CI is Linux-only, so nothing here would have
caught that.
- Binding port 0 and reading the port back removes the probe-then-bind
race a first draft had.
- The negative case is a 404 from that server rather than a hostname
expected never to resolve, which a wildcard registration or a
captive-portal resolver would have silently inverted.
- The cancellation test waits for the server to signal that it holds the
request, cancels only then, and asserts the call returned well inside
the route's own delay. Asserting only that the call returned false would
have passed just as well if the server had never started.
- Both not-found tests assert the server actually routed the request,
for the same reason.
- The test assembly disables the ambient proxy. `HttpClientFactory`
leaves `SocketsHttpHandler.UseProxy` at its default, so a client
resolves `HttpClient.DefaultProxy`, which on Unix is read from
`http_proxy` and bypasses loopback only where `no_proxy` says to. A
machine configured that way would send every loopback request to a
proxy, which is the environment dependence this issue exists to remove.
The suite is 200 tests and runs in about one second, against 193 tests
and roughly six seconds before. Twenty consecutive runs were clean.
## #427, the coordination reference
`HISTORY.md` named the template repository in its v3.5 entry. It now
states what changed without naming where it came from.
`.github/copilot-instructions.md`, the other file the issue named, was
already clear, and the hub's own audit reports this repository clean.
A reviewer may read the `HISTORY.md` hunk as an out-of-scope edit to a
shipped release record. It is #427's deliverable rather than incidental
churn.
## Verification
`.NET Format` (CSharpier, build, `dotnet format style
--verify-no-changes`) clean, zero warnings under `AnalysisMode=All` and
`TreatWarningsAsErrors`. markdownlint, CSpell, actionlint,
`editorconfig-checker`, shellcheck and shfmt clean. The hub's prose gate
and repository gate both clean.
## One thing beyond the three issues
`Download.DownloadFile()` and `DownloadFileAsync()` opened the
destination with `File.OpenWrite()`, which is `FileMode.OpenOrCreate`
and does not truncate, so a download over a longer existing file left
that file's trailing bytes after the downloaded content and returned
`true`. A local review pass raised it, and the maintainer asked for it
here rather than as a separate issue.
**The fix changed shape twice before settling, so read the current
behavior here rather than in the commit history.** Both methods now open
the destination with `FileMode.OpenOrCreate` and truncate it with
`SetLength(0)`, rewriting it in place. Its permissions, ownership, and
any hard links or symlinks to it survive, which a probe confirms on
Linux: mode 0600 stays 0600 with the file truncated to the body's
length, a hard link sees the new content, a symlink is written through
rather than replaced, and a read-only destination is refused with the
file intact.
The cost, which the release notes now state rather than leave implicit:
truncation happens once the response headers are accepted, so a download
that fails partway leaves a short file, where `File.OpenWrite()` left
the original bytes behind the newly written ones.
Two approaches were tried and rejected on the way, both by local review
passes:
- `FileMode.Create`, which empties the destination before a single body
byte exists, and which Windows refuses outright against a hidden file
where `OpenOrCreate` succeeds.
- Writing beside the destination and moving the result into place. That
gives the strongest failure guarantee, an untouched destination, but it
replaces the file's identity rather than its contents. Probed on Linux:
a 0600 destination came back 0664, a symlink was replaced by a regular
file leaving its target stale, a hard link kept the old content, and a
read-only destination was silently overwritten, since `rename(2)`
consults the directory's permission and not the file's, while Windows
refuses that same move. The maintainer chose in-place rewriting over
that trade.
Six tests cover it: two for the overwrite, two for a request that fails
before the response is accepted, and two for a destination that cannot
be opened.
## Not in this change
- The failing `Publish project release` run is the NuGet OIDC
`job_workflow_ref` claim,
[ProjectTemplate#1126](ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1126).
The fix moves the token exchange and the push into the calling
repository, so this repository's `publish-release.yml` needs new content
plus a re-pin. That cannot merge usefully until the hub fix reaches its
`main`, so it is a follow-up rather than part of this change.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:
1. Atomic temporary-file replacement
  • ➕ Preserves the original destination when a body transfer fails.
  • ➕ Can make completed downloads atomic.
  • ➖ May replace permissions, ownership, hard links, or other destination metadata.
  • ➖ Changes the documented partial-download behavior and adds cross-platform replacement complexity.
2. Injected HTTP message handler
  • ➕ Avoids opening sockets and makes response scenarios inexpensive to simulate.
  • ➕ Eliminates ambient proxy concerns within tests.
  • ➖ Requires an injection seam around the shared client.
  • ➖ Does not exercise real socket transport, HTTP framing, or cancellation behavior.
3. Retain the complete StringHistory stream
  • ➕ Makes every limit change fully reversible.
  • ➕ Simplifies repartitioning by deriving the view from canonical history.
  • ➖ Defeats the bounded-memory purpose of StringHistory.
  • ➖ Allows previously discarded lines to reappear, violating the selected retention contract.
Recommendation: Keep the PR’s approach. Rewriting the destination in place preserves filesystem identity, the loopback server validates real HTTP behavior without third-party dependencies, and discard-only StringHistory repartitioning maintains bounded storage and stable stream semantics. The alternatives offer stronger atomicity or simpler simulation but conflict with existing contracts or introduce broader architectural changes.

🔵 Needs a closer look
It promotes multiple public-contract behavioral changes (I/O semantics and StringHistory retention rules) where final approval should include a human validation pass of the intended compatibility tradeoffs.
Pull request overview
Promotes develop to main by releasing version 4.1, including a Download overwrite/truncation correctness fix, a tightened and explicitly documented StringHistory head/tail retention contract (including negative-limit validation and post-set repartitioning), and deterministic offline download tests via a loopback HTTP server.
Changes:
  • Bumped the shipped version floor to 4.1 and updated release notes/docs to describe the new behavioral contracts.
  • Fixed Download.DownloadFile() / DownloadFileAsync() to truncate and rewrite destinations in place to avoid trailing-byte corruption when overwriting longer existing files.
  • Updated StringHistory limits to validate negatives, repartition stored history on limit changes, and document the “0 means keep none on that side” contract; updated tests accordingly (including offline download tests).

Apply Both StringHistory Limits in One Re-Partition (#457)
ecf7b55
Answers the two findings from the review of the `develop -> main`
promotion, #456. Neither could be pushed there, since that pull
request's head is `develop`, so both land here first and #456 picks them
up.
## `StringHistory.SetLimits()`
Assigning `MaxFirstLines` and `MaxLastLines` one after the other
re-partitions twice, so the first assignment measures against the other
limit's previous value and discards lines the final pair would have
retained. On a default history holding ten lines:
```text
MaxFirstLines = 2; MaxLastLines = 3; -> 2 lines retained
MaxLastLines = 3; MaxFirstLines = 2; -> 3 lines retained
SetLimits(2, 3) -> 5 lines retained
```
The two-argument constructor was the only way to apply a pair
atomically, and it does not reach an instance that already holds lines.
`SetLimits()` validates both values, assigns both fields, and
re-partitions once.
Worth stating precisely, because the first draft of this change
over-claimed it and a local pass caught it: it is not that no ordering
ever avoids the loss. For a given target pair one order is often
lossless, and an exhaustive sweep of the reachable states found 264
where exactly one is. What holds is that **which** order works depends
on the values and on what is stored, so no fixed ordering is safe.
Six tests: the atomic case, the divergence from separate assignment,
both negative arguments, clearing to the unrestricted mode, and
`Repartition()`'s discarded branch reached through `SetLimits()`, which
caps each side against its own counter rather than against the whole
list.
The 300000-history fuzz now drives `SetLimits()` alongside the two
setters, holding the prefix-plus-suffix contract, the count bound, no
duplicates, and that an assignment never adds a line, across four and a
half million states.
## The grammar finding, and what it turned up
`AOT safe` becomes `AOT-safe` where it modifies a noun. The same
compound sits in `HttpClientFactory` and `AssemblyInfo` doc comments, so
those are corrected rather than left disagreeing with the release note.
Editing those two files brought them under the whole-file rule, which
surfaced three defects none of them on a changed line:
- `ARCHITECTURE.md` said `StringCompression` "passes `leaveOpen` so the
caller keeps ownership of the stream it supplied". Every public member
takes and returns a `string`; the only stream is one the method creates
and disposes itself, so a consumer would look for an overload that does
not exist.
- `AssemblyInfo`'s type summary read "AOT and trim safe", the last
unhyphenated instance in the repository and the copy that ships in the
XML docs.
- `HttpClientFactory`'s retry comment said a 4xx is not retried, three
lines below a bullet that retries 408 and 429.
## Verification
212 tests green. `.NET Format` clean-compile with zero warnings under
`AnalysisMode=All` and `TreatWarningsAsErrors`. markdownlint, CSpell,
`editorconfig-checker`, and both hub gates clean, the prose gate run
over whole files rather than changed lines.
## Not in this change
The `Publish project release` failure is the NuGet OIDC
`job_workflow_ref` claim,
[ProjectTemplate#1126](ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1126),
which needs a caller-side stub change here plus a re-pin once the hub
fix reaches its `main`.

🔵 Needs a closer look
It promotes multiple public-behavior changes (I/O semantics, buffering/retention rules, and test infrastructure) where final human sign-off is prudent for a default-branch release.

Repair the Garbled Clause in the SetLimits Remark
3a54d0d
The sentence read "so no fixed ordering is safe and this applies both before
re-partitioning at all", which was meant as "this method applies both limits
before re-partitioning at all" and parses as neither. It is the remark a consumer
sees in IntelliSense on a published package, and it was explaining the one thing
the method exists for, so an unreadable clause there is worth its own fix.
Raised by a reviewer on the promotion pull request, #456, whose head is develop
and cannot carry a fix. It rides here rather than in a third pull request for one
sentence, which costs this one a review round and saves a whole cycle.
@ptr727
Push the NuGet Package From This Repository Rather Than the Hub Task (#…
137ab39
…458)
Restores NuGet publishing, which has been broken since this repository
adopted the hub release chain. This is this repository's half of the hub
fix,
[ProjectTemplate#1126](ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1126),
landed in the hub as `2.0.536`.
## What broke and why
The first real release after adopting the chain, [run
33336000403](https://github.com/ptr727/Utilities/actions/runs/33336000403),
failed at the NuGet.org token exchange:
```text
Token exchange failed (HTTP 401). Claim 'job_workflow_ref' has value
'<owner>/ProjectTemplate/.github/workflows/build-release-task.yml@f3b4cc9'
which does not start with <owner>/Utilities/.github/workflows/.
```
Trusted publishing validates that claim against the repository owning
the package, and the claim names the workflow the job actually ran from.
A push made from a hub-hosted task can never satisfy it, and a caller
hook does not help either, since a composite action runs inside the
hub's job. The hub therefore builds the package and uploads it, and the
calling repository pushes it.
## The change
**The pin and the stub edit are one change, not two.** The hub removed
the `nuget:` input and the `NUGET_USERNAME` secret from the task, so a
pin bump on its own startup-fails against names the task no longer
declares. All six references across three workflows move from `2.0.526`
to `2.0.536`.
I verified that mechanically rather than by reading: every input and
every secret each of the four callers passes is declared on the
corresponding task at `1fe2537`, and no newly-required input is
unpassed.
- `publish` drops the `NUGET_USERNAME` mapping, the `id-token: write`
grant and the `nuget:` input, keeping `enable_nuget` so the task still
builds and uploads the package.
- A new `publish-nuget` job downloads `nuget-build-${{ github.ref_name
}}`, trades the GitHub OIDC token for a short-lived NuGet key, and
pushes. `id-token: write` sits on that one job, which is what D7.2 asks
for.
- The smoke path drops `nuget: false` with them.
- Your nuget.org trusted-publishing policy needs no change: it already
names `ptr727/Utilities` and `publish-release.yml`, so this restores the
match rather than requiring a new policy.
## Carried content, and one local line that survived
`WORKFLOW.md` described the superseded model, that NuGet pushes from the
leaf, on three of the lines this change contradicts. It is carried at
`intent` fidelity, so it is carried forward from the hub rather than
hand-edited.
It is **not** a clean carry, and a blind re-vendor would have destroyed
something. The guard's exact-phrase probe found one line present here
and in **neither** hub revision: D1.6's statement that `CODECOV_TOKEN`
is mapped explicitly under the calling job's own `secrets:` block. Both
hub revisions instead say it reaches the validator via `secrets:
inherit`. The local line is the accurate one here, since both workflows
map the token explicitly, and it is preserved. The file now differs from
the hub by exactly that one line.
A local review pass then caught that carrying `WORKFLOW.md` had left the
carried Skills behind, which is what an agent actually loads at the
moment this matters. `release-publish-mechanics.md` still said "NuGet
pushes from inside the build-nuget hook", and `workflow-ci-contract`
still listed `nuget` as an orchestrator input. An agent bumping the pin
later would have read the pre-fix model and put the push back inside the
leaf, reproducing the exact failure this change fixes. Seven Skill files
carried from `2.0.536`, verified byte-identical afterward, and verified
a byte-clean carry of `2.0.526` beforehand so nothing local was at risk.
## One behavior change worth knowing
Moving the push out of the leaf reorders it after the GitHub release.
`D4.5` still holds for a failed **build**, which skips this job with the
rest. It does not cover a failed **push**: the release is cut inside
`publish` and `publish-nuget` runs after it, so a token-exchange failure
or a nuget.org outage leaves a release and tag for a version that never
reached NuGet.org. Re-running the publisher is the remedy, since the
release-exists gate and `--skip-duplicate` are both idempotent. That
shape comes from the hub's documented stub rather than from anything
chosen here, and the job comment records it.
## Verification, and its limit
actionlint, markdownlint, CSpell, `editorconfig-checker`, and both hub
gates clean. 212 tests green.
**A green pull request proves nothing about this path.** A smoke build
never reaches either push, which is exactly why this class of failure
survived to the first real release. The evidence will be the first
dispatched release after merge, and that run is what should be read
rather than this pull request.

Owner
Closes#427. Closes#452. Closes#454.
Promotes develop at f2a8f62 to main. One squashed pull request, #455, which closed the three open issues and fixed one defect found while doing so.
The issue-closing keywords sit here rather than on #455, since GitHub only closes an issue when the pull request merges into the default branch, and #455 merged into develop.
What is being promoted
  • StringHistory Limit Properties Misdocument Zero and Do Not Re-Partition When Set #454, the StringHistory limit properties.MaxFirstLines and MaxLastLines were each documented Set to 0 for no limit, which holds only when both are zero. Zero on one side is now documented as retaining no lines on that side, both the constructor and the setters reject a negative value, and assigning a limit re-partitions the lines already stored instead of being ignored. Re-partitioning only ever discards, so what is retained is always a prefix of the appended lines followed by a suffix of them, and once a line has been dropped the head is trimmed but never refilled.
  • Make the Download Tests Deterministic and Offline #452, the download tests. They reached www.google.com and httpstat.us, so the unit-test gate depended on outbound DNS and on two third parties, and paid a five-second sleep on every run. They now drive a loopback HTTP server on an ephemeral port, and the test assembly disables the ambient proxy so a machine with http_proxy set does not send loopback requests through it. Download's public surface is unchanged.
  • Remove references to the private template repo from carried files #427, the coordination reference.HISTORY.md named the template repository in its v3.5 entry and no longer does.
  • A Download defect found during the above.DownloadFile() and DownloadFileAsync() opened the destination with File.OpenWrite(), which does not truncate, so a download over a longer existing file left that file's trailing bytes after the downloaded content and returned true. Both now open with FileMode.OpenOrCreate and truncate with SetLength(0), rewriting in place so the destination's permissions, ownership, and any links to it survive.
  • The version floor, raised to 4.1, with the two shipped fixes recorded in HISTORY.md and README.md.
Verification
The merge is clean and git write-tree on it equals git rev-parse origin/develop^{tree} exactly (0cfd271c), so main ends up with develop's tree and nothing else.
develop carried 206 tests green, the .NET Format clean-compile chain with zero warnings under AnalysisMode=All and TreatWarningsAsErrors, markdownlint, CSpell, actionlint, editorconfig-checker, shellcheck and shfmt clean, and the hub's prose and repository gates clean. #455 went through eight review rounds; every thread was resolved and every suppressed finding answered, with suppressed on_head=0 at the merge.
Releases stay blocked, and this does not unblock them
publish-release.yml still fails at the NuGet OIDC token exchange, because the hub-hosted release chain makes the job_workflow_ref claim name the hub rather than this repository (ProjectTemplate#1126). The fix moves the token exchange and the push back into the calling repository, which needs new content in this repository's publish-release.yml plus a re-pin, and cannot land until that hub change reaches its main. That is a follow-up pull request, so merging this one leaves the latest release at 4.0.38.
Summary by CodeRabbit
  • Bug Fixes
    • Downloads now fully replace existing files, preventing stale or corrupted trailing content.
    • Failed downloads preserve existing destination files and handle unavailable destinations safely.
    • StringHistory now validates limits, preserves discarded-content rules, repartitions stored lines correctly, and supports atomic limit updates.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified download buffering, truncation, partial-download outcomes, file options, and StringHistory behavior.
    • Updated terminology and retry-behavior documentation.
  • Release
    • Updated the project version to 4.1.

Fix the StringHistory Limits and Make the Download Tests Offline (#455)
f2a8f62
Closes#427. Closes#452. Closes#454.
## #454, the `StringHistory` limit properties
`MaxFirstLines` and `MaxLastLines` were each documented `Set to 0 for no
limit`, which holds only when both are zero, the one branch `AppendLine`
treats as unrestricted. Set individually, zero retains none on that
side. The maintainer chose the smaller of the two directions the issue
offered, so the documentation now says what the code does rather than
the code changing to match the documentation.
Three behavioral changes on top of that:
- The constructor and both setters reject a negative value with
`ArgumentOutOfRangeException`, rather than letting it reach `RemoveAt`
and throw after entries have already been taken. The constructor
validates its own parameters, so the exception names `maxFirstLines` or
`maxLastLines` rather than `value`.
- Each setter re-partitions the lines already stored, so a limit
assigned after appending is honored instead of ignored.
- Re-partitioning only ever discards. Once a line has been dropped the
head is closed: it can be trimmed but never refilled, by a later append
or by a later, larger `MaxFirstLines`. What is retained is therefore
always a prefix of the stream followed by a suffix of it, which is
exactly the head-and-tail contract
[`ARCHITECTURE.md`](./ARCHITECTURE.md) states.
That third point is the one worth reviewing closely, and it is the one
two local review passes and a fuzz each found a different defect in
before it settled. A 300000-history fuzz over random append and limit
sequences holds the prefix-plus-suffix contract, the count bound, and
no-duplicates across four and a half million intermediate states.
## #452, the download tests
`DownloadTests` and `DownloadAsyncTests` reached `www.google.com` and
`httpstat.us`, so the unit-test gate depended on outbound DNS and on two
third parties it does not control, and paid a five-second sleep on every
run to exercise the timeout path.
They now drive a loopback HTTP server bound to an ephemeral port.
`Download`'s public surface is unchanged, so the `Lazy<HttpClient>`
contract in `ARCHITECTURE.md` still holds and the seam the issue offered
as the larger alternative was not needed.
- The server writes HTTP/1.1 onto a `TcpListener` socket rather than
using `HttpListener`, which on Windows resolves an explicit-address
prefix through http.sys and needs a URL reservation an unelevated
developer does not have. CI is Linux-only, so nothing here would have
caught that.
- Binding port 0 and reading the port back removes the probe-then-bind
race a first draft had.
- The negative case is a 404 from that server rather than a hostname
expected never to resolve, which a wildcard registration or a
captive-portal resolver would have silently inverted.
- The cancellation test waits for the server to signal that it holds the
request, cancels only then, and asserts the call returned well inside
the route's own delay. Asserting only that the call returned false would
have passed just as well if the server had never started.
- Both not-found tests assert the server actually routed the request,
for the same reason.
- The test assembly disables the ambient proxy. `HttpClientFactory`
leaves `SocketsHttpHandler.UseProxy` at its default, so a client
resolves `HttpClient.DefaultProxy`, which on Unix is read from
`http_proxy` and bypasses loopback only where `no_proxy` says to. A
machine configured that way would send every loopback request to a
proxy, which is the environment dependence this issue exists to remove.
The suite is 200 tests and runs in about one second, against 193 tests
and roughly six seconds before. Twenty consecutive runs were clean.
## #427, the coordination reference
`HISTORY.md` named the template repository in its v3.5 entry. It now
states what changed without naming where it came from.
`.github/copilot-instructions.md`, the other file the issue named, was
already clear, and the hub's own audit reports this repository clean.
A reviewer may read the `HISTORY.md` hunk as an out-of-scope edit to a
shipped release record. It is #427's deliverable rather than incidental
churn.
## Verification
`.NET Format` (CSharpier, build, `dotnet format style
--verify-no-changes`) clean, zero warnings under `AnalysisMode=All` and
`TreatWarningsAsErrors`. markdownlint, CSpell, actionlint,
`editorconfig-checker`, shellcheck and shfmt clean. The hub's prose gate
and repository gate both clean.
## One thing beyond the three issues
`Download.DownloadFile()` and `DownloadFileAsync()` opened the
destination with `File.OpenWrite()`, which is `FileMode.OpenOrCreate`
and does not truncate, so a download over a longer existing file left
that file's trailing bytes after the downloaded content and returned
`true`. A local review pass raised it, and the maintainer asked for it
here rather than as a separate issue.
**The fix changed shape twice before settling, so read the current
behavior here rather than in the commit history.** Both methods now open
the destination with `FileMode.OpenOrCreate` and truncate it with
`SetLength(0)`, rewriting it in place. Its permissions, ownership, and
any hard links or symlinks to it survive, which a probe confirms on
Linux: mode 0600 stays 0600 with the file truncated to the body's
length, a hard link sees the new content, a symlink is written through
rather than replaced, and a read-only destination is refused with the
file intact.
The cost, which the release notes now state rather than leave implicit:
truncation happens once the response headers are accepted, so a download
that fails partway leaves a short file, where `File.OpenWrite()` left
the original bytes behind the newly written ones.
Two approaches were tried and rejected on the way, both by local review
passes:
- `FileMode.Create`, which empties the destination before a single body
byte exists, and which Windows refuses outright against a hidden file
where `OpenOrCreate` succeeds.
- Writing beside the destination and moving the result into place. That
gives the strongest failure guarantee, an untouched destination, but it
replaces the file's identity rather than its contents. Probed on Linux:
a 0600 destination came back 0664, a symlink was replaced by a regular
file leaving its target stale, a hard link kept the old content, and a
read-only destination was silently overwritten, since `rename(2)`
consults the directory's permission and not the file's, while Windows
refuses that same move. The maintainer chose in-place rewriting over
that trade.
Six tests cover it: two for the overwrite, two for a request that fails
before the response is accepted, and two for a destination that cannot
be opened.
## Not in this change
- The failing `Publish project release` run is the NuGet OIDC
`job_workflow_ref` claim,
[ProjectTemplate#1126](ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1126).
The fix moves the token exchange and the push into the calling
repository, so this repository's `publish-release.yml` needs new content
plus a re-pin. That cannot merge usefully until the hub fix reaches its
`main`, so it is a follow-up rather than part of this change.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:
1. Atomic temporary-file replacement
  • ➕ Preserves the original destination when a body transfer fails.
  • ➕ Can make completed downloads atomic.
  • ➖ May replace permissions, ownership, hard links, or other destination metadata.
  • ➖ Changes the documented partial-download behavior and adds cross-platform replacement complexity.
2. Injected HTTP message handler
  • ➕ Avoids opening sockets and makes response scenarios inexpensive to simulate.
  • ➕ Eliminates ambient proxy concerns within tests.
  • ➖ Requires an injection seam around the shared client.
  • ➖ Does not exercise real socket transport, HTTP framing, or cancellation behavior.
3. Retain the complete StringHistory stream
  • ➕ Makes every limit change fully reversible.
  • ➕ Simplifies repartitioning by deriving the view from canonical history.
  • ➖ Defeats the bounded-memory purpose of StringHistory.
  • ➖ Allows previously discarded lines to reappear, violating the selected retention contract.
Recommendation: Keep the PR’s approach. Rewriting the destination in place preserves filesystem identity, the loopback server validates real HTTP behavior without third-party dependencies, and discard-only StringHistory repartitioning maintains bounded storage and stable stream semantics. The alternatives offer stronger atomicity or simpler simulation but conflict with existing contracts or introduce broader architectural changes.

🔵 Needs a closer look
It promotes multiple public-contract behavioral changes (I/O semantics and StringHistory retention rules) where final approval should include a human validation pass of the intended compatibility tradeoffs.
Pull request overview
Promotes develop to main by releasing version 4.1, including a Download overwrite/truncation correctness fix, a tightened and explicitly documented StringHistory head/tail retention contract (including negative-limit validation and post-set repartitioning), and deterministic offline download tests via a loopback HTTP server.
Changes:
  • Bumped the shipped version floor to 4.1 and updated release notes/docs to describe the new behavioral contracts.
  • Fixed Download.DownloadFile() / DownloadFileAsync() to truncate and rewrite destinations in place to avoid trailing-byte corruption when overwriting longer existing files.
  • Updated StringHistory limits to validate negatives, repartition stored history on limit changes, and document the “0 means keep none on that side” contract; updated tests accordingly (including offline download tests).

Apply Both StringHistory Limits in One Re-Partition (#457)
ecf7b55
Answers the two findings from the review of the `develop -> main`
promotion, #456. Neither could be pushed there, since that pull
request's head is `develop`, so both land here first and #456 picks them
up.
## `StringHistory.SetLimits()`
Assigning `MaxFirstLines` and `MaxLastLines` one after the other
re-partitions twice, so the first assignment measures against the other
limit's previous value and discards lines the final pair would have
retained. On a default history holding ten lines:
```text
MaxFirstLines = 2; MaxLastLines = 3; -> 2 lines retained
MaxLastLines = 3; MaxFirstLines = 2; -> 3 lines retained
SetLimits(2, 3) -> 5 lines retained
```
The two-argument constructor was the only way to apply a pair
atomically, and it does not reach an instance that already holds lines.
`SetLimits()` validates both values, assigns both fields, and
re-partitions once.
Worth stating precisely, because the first draft of this change
over-claimed it and a local pass caught it: it is not that no ordering
ever avoids the loss. For a given target pair one order is often
lossless, and an exhaustive sweep of the reachable states found 264
where exactly one is. What holds is that **which** order works depends
on the values and on what is stored, so no fixed ordering is safe.
Six tests: the atomic case, the divergence from separate assignment,
both negative arguments, clearing to the unrestricted mode, and
`Repartition()`'s discarded branch reached through `SetLimits()`, which
caps each side against its own counter rather than against the whole
list.
The 300000-history fuzz now drives `SetLimits()` alongside the two
setters, holding the prefix-plus-suffix contract, the count bound, no
duplicates, and that an assignment never adds a line, across four and a
half million states.
## The grammar finding, and what it turned up
`AOT safe` becomes `AOT-safe` where it modifies a noun. The same
compound sits in `HttpClientFactory` and `AssemblyInfo` doc comments, so
those are corrected rather than left disagreeing with the release note.
Editing those two files brought them under the whole-file rule, which
surfaced three defects none of them on a changed line:
- `ARCHITECTURE.md` said `StringCompression` "passes `leaveOpen` so the
caller keeps ownership of the stream it supplied". Every public member
takes and returns a `string`; the only stream is one the method creates
and disposes itself, so a consumer would look for an overload that does
not exist.
- `AssemblyInfo`'s type summary read "AOT and trim safe", the last
unhyphenated instance in the repository and the copy that ships in the
XML docs.
- `HttpClientFactory`'s retry comment said a 4xx is not retried, three
lines below a bullet that retries 408 and 429.
## Verification
212 tests green. `.NET Format` clean-compile with zero warnings under
`AnalysisMode=All` and `TreatWarningsAsErrors`. markdownlint, CSpell,
`editorconfig-checker`, and both hub gates clean, the prose gate run
over whole files rather than changed lines.
## Not in this change
The `Publish project release` failure is the NuGet OIDC
`job_workflow_ref` claim,
[ProjectTemplate#1126](ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1126),
which needs a caller-side stub change here plus a re-pin once the hub
fix reaches its `main`.

Repair the Garbled Clause in the SetLimits Remark
3a54d0d
The sentence read "so no fixed ordering is safe and this applies both before
re-partitioning at all", which was meant as "this method applies both limits
before re-partitioning at all" and parses as neither. It is the remark a consumer
sees in IntelliSense on a published package, and it was explaining the one thing
the method exists for, so an unreadable clause there is worth its own fix.
Raised by a reviewer on the promotion pull request, #456, whose head is develop
and cannot carry a fix. It rides here rather than in a third pull request for one
sentence, which costs this one a review round and saves a whole cycle.

Push the NuGet Package From This Repository Rather Than the Hub Task (#…
137ab39
…458)
Restores NuGet publishing, which has been broken since this repository
adopted the hub release chain. This is this repository's half of the hub
fix,
[ProjectTemplate#1126](ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1126),
landed in the hub as `2.0.536`.
## What broke and why
The first real release after adopting the chain, [run
33336000403](https://github.com/ptr727/Utilities/actions/runs/33336000403),
failed at the NuGet.org token exchange:
```text
Token exchange failed (HTTP 401). Claim 'job_workflow_ref' has value
'<owner>/ProjectTemplate/.github/workflows/build-release-task.yml@f3b4cc9'
which does not start with <owner>/Utilities/.github/workflows/.
```
Trusted publishing validates that claim against the repository owning
the package, and the claim names the workflow the job actually ran from.
A push made from a hub-hosted task can never satisfy it, and a caller
hook does not help either, since a composite action runs inside the
hub's job. The hub therefore builds the package and uploads it, and the
calling repository pushes it.
## The change
**The pin and the stub edit are one change, not two.** The hub removed
the `nuget:` input and the `NUGET_USERNAME` secret from the task, so a
pin bump on its own startup-fails against names the task no longer
declares. All six references across three workflows move from `2.0.526`
to `2.0.536`.
I verified that mechanically rather than by reading: every input and
every secret each of the four callers passes is declared on the
corresponding task at `1fe2537`, and no newly-required input is
unpassed.
- `publish` drops the `NUGET_USERNAME` mapping, the `id-token: write`
grant and the `nuget:` input, keeping `enable_nuget` so the task still
builds and uploads the package.
- A new `publish-nuget` job downloads `nuget-build-${{ github.ref_name
}}`, trades the GitHub OIDC token for a short-lived NuGet key, and
pushes. `id-token: write` sits on that one job, which is what D7.2 asks
for.
- The smoke path drops `nuget: false` with them.
- Your nuget.org trusted-publishing policy needs no change: it already
names `ptr727/Utilities` and `publish-release.yml`, so this restores the
match rather than requiring a new policy.
## Carried content, and one local line that survived
`WORKFLOW.md` described the superseded model, that NuGet pushes from the
leaf, on three of the lines this change contradicts. It is carried at
`intent` fidelity, so it is carried forward from the hub rather than
hand-edited.
It is **not** a clean carry, and a blind re-vendor would have destroyed
something. The guard's exact-phrase probe found one line present here
and in **neither** hub revision: D1.6's statement that `CODECOV_TOKEN`
is mapped explicitly under the calling job's own `secrets:` block. Both
hub revisions instead say it reaches the validator via `secrets:
inherit`. The local line is the accurate one here, since both workflows
map the token explicitly, and it is preserved. The file now differs from
the hub by exactly that one line.
A local review pass then caught that carrying `WORKFLOW.md` had left the
carried Skills behind, which is what an agent actually loads at the
moment this matters. `release-publish-mechanics.md` still said "NuGet
pushes from inside the build-nuget hook", and `workflow-ci-contract`
still listed `nuget` as an orchestrator input. An agent bumping the pin
later would have read the pre-fix model and put the push back inside the
leaf, reproducing the exact failure this change fixes. Seven Skill files
carried from `2.0.536`, verified byte-identical afterward, and verified
a byte-clean carry of `2.0.526` beforehand so nothing local was at risk.
## One behavior change worth knowing
Moving the push out of the leaf reorders it after the GitHub release.
`D4.5` still holds for a failed **build**, which skips this job with the
rest. It does not cover a failed **push**: the release is cut inside
`publish` and `publish-nuget` runs after it, so a token-exchange failure
or a nuget.org outage leaves a release and tag for a version that never
reached NuGet.org. Re-running the publisher is the remedy, since the
release-exists gate and `--skip-duplicate` are both idempotent. That
shape comes from the hub's documented stub rather than from anything
chosen here, and the job comment records it.
## Verification, and its limit
actionlint, markdownlint, CSpell, `editorconfig-checker`, and both hub
gates clean. 212 tests green.
**A green pull request proves nothing about this path.** A smoke build
never reaches either push, which is exactly why this class of failure
survived to the first real release. The evidence will be the first
dispatched release after merge, and that run is what should be read
rather than this pull request.

Owner
Closes#427. Closes#452. Closes#454.
Promotes develop at f2a8f62 to main. One squashed pull request, #455, which closed the three open issues and fixed one defect found while doing so.
The issue-closing keywords sit here rather than on #455, since GitHub only closes an issue when the pull request merges into the default branch, and #455 merged into develop.
What is being promoted
  • StringHistory Limit Properties Misdocument Zero and Do Not Re-Partition When Set #454, the StringHistory limit properties.MaxFirstLines and MaxLastLines were each documented Set to 0 for no limit, which holds only when both are zero. Zero on one side is now documented as retaining no lines on that side, both the constructor and the setters reject a negative value, and assigning a limit re-partitions the lines already stored instead of being ignored. Re-partitioning only ever discards, so what is retained is always a prefix of the appended lines followed by a suffix of them, and once a line has been dropped the head is trimmed but never refilled.
  • Make the Download Tests Deterministic and Offline #452, the download tests. They reached www.google.com and httpstat.us, so the unit-test gate depended on outbound DNS and on two third parties, and paid a five-second sleep on every run. They now drive a loopback HTTP server on an ephemeral port, and the test assembly disables the ambient proxy so a machine with http_proxy set does not send loopback requests through it. Download's public surface is unchanged.
  • Remove references to the private template repo from carried files #427, the coordination reference.HISTORY.md named the template repository in its v3.5 entry and no longer does.
  • A Download defect found during the above.DownloadFile() and DownloadFileAsync() opened the destination with File.OpenWrite(), which does not truncate, so a download over a longer existing file left that file's trailing bytes after the downloaded content and returned true. Both now open with FileMode.OpenOrCreate and truncate with SetLength(0), rewriting in place so the destination's permissions, ownership, and any links to it survive.
  • The version floor, raised to 4.1, with the two shipped fixes recorded in HISTORY.md and README.md.
Verification
The merge is clean and git write-tree on it equals git rev-parse origin/develop^{tree} exactly (0cfd271c), so main ends up with develop's tree and nothing else.
develop carried 206 tests green, the .NET Format clean-compile chain with zero warnings under AnalysisMode=All and TreatWarningsAsErrors, markdownlint, CSpell, actionlint, editorconfig-checker, shellcheck and shfmt clean, and the hub's prose and repository gates clean. #455 went through eight review rounds; every thread was resolved and every suppressed finding answered, with suppressed on_head=0 at the merge.
Releases stay blocked, and this does not unblock them
publish-release.yml still fails at the NuGet OIDC token exchange, because the hub-hosted release chain makes the job_workflow_ref claim name the hub rather than this repository (ProjectTemplate#1126). The fix moves the token exchange and the push back into the calling repository, which needs new content in this repository's publish-release.yml plus a re-pin, and cannot land until that hub change reaches its main. That is a follow-up pull request, so merging this one leaves the latest release at 4.0.38.
Summary by CodeRabbit
  • Bug Fixes
    • Downloads now fully replace existing files, preventing stale or corrupted trailing content.
    • Failed downloads preserve existing destination files and handle unavailable destinations safely.
    • StringHistory now validates limits, preserves discarded-content rules, repartitions stored lines correctly, and supports atomic limit updates.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified download buffering, truncation, partial-download outcomes, file options, and StringHistory behavior.
    • Updated terminology and retry-behavior documentation.
  • Release
    • Updated the project version to 4.1.
@ptr727
Fix the StringHistory Limits and Make the Download Tests Offline (#455)
f2a8f62
Closes#427. Closes#452. Closes#454.
## #454, the `StringHistory` limit properties
`MaxFirstLines` and `MaxLastLines` were each documented `Set to 0 for no
limit`, which holds only when both are zero, the one branch `AppendLine`
treats as unrestricted. Set individually, zero retains none on that
side. The maintainer chose the smaller of the two directions the issue
offered, so the documentation now says what the code does rather than
the code changing to match the documentation.
Three behavioral changes on top of that:
- The constructor and both setters reject a negative value with
`ArgumentOutOfRangeException`, rather than letting it reach `RemoveAt`
and throw after entries have already been taken. The constructor
validates its own parameters, so the exception names `maxFirstLines` or
`maxLastLines` rather than `value`.
- Each setter re-partitions the lines already stored, so a limit
assigned after appending is honored instead of ignored.
- Re-partitioning only ever discards. Once a line has been dropped the
head is closed: it can be trimmed but never refilled, by a later append
or by a later, larger `MaxFirstLines`. What is retained is therefore
always a prefix of the stream followed by a suffix of it, which is
exactly the head-and-tail contract
[`ARCHITECTURE.md`](./ARCHITECTURE.md) states.
That third point is the one worth reviewing closely, and it is the one
two local review passes and a fuzz each found a different defect in
before it settled. A 300000-history fuzz over random append and limit
sequences holds the prefix-plus-suffix contract, the count bound, and
no-duplicates across four and a half million intermediate states.
## #452, the download tests
`DownloadTests` and `DownloadAsyncTests` reached `www.google.com` and
`httpstat.us`, so the unit-test gate depended on outbound DNS and on two
third parties it does not control, and paid a five-second sleep on every
run to exercise the timeout path.
They now drive a loopback HTTP server bound to an ephemeral port.
`Download`'s public surface is unchanged, so the `Lazy<HttpClient>`
contract in `ARCHITECTURE.md` still holds and the seam the issue offered
as the larger alternative was not needed.
- The server writes HTTP/1.1 onto a `TcpListener` socket rather than
using `HttpListener`, which on Windows resolves an explicit-address
prefix through http.sys and needs a URL reservation an unelevated
developer does not have. CI is Linux-only, so nothing here would have
caught that.
- Binding port 0 and reading the port back removes the probe-then-bind
race a first draft had.
- The negative case is a 404 from that server rather than a hostname
expected never to resolve, which a wildcard registration or a
captive-portal resolver would have silently inverted.
- The cancellation test waits for the server to signal that it holds the
request, cancels only then, and asserts the call returned well inside
the route's own delay. Asserting only that the call returned false would
have passed just as well if the server had never started.
- Both not-found tests assert the server actually routed the request,
for the same reason.
- The test assembly disables the ambient proxy. `HttpClientFactory`
leaves `SocketsHttpHandler.UseProxy` at its default, so a client
resolves `HttpClient.DefaultProxy`, which on Unix is read from
`http_proxy` and bypasses loopback only where `no_proxy` says to. A
machine configured that way would send every loopback request to a
proxy, which is the environment dependence this issue exists to remove.
The suite is 200 tests and runs in about one second, against 193 tests
and roughly six seconds before. Twenty consecutive runs were clean.
## #427, the coordination reference
`HISTORY.md` named the template repository in its v3.5 entry. It now
states what changed without naming where it came from.
`.github/copilot-instructions.md`, the other file the issue named, was
already clear, and the hub's own audit reports this repository clean.
A reviewer may read the `HISTORY.md` hunk as an out-of-scope edit to a
shipped release record. It is #427's deliverable rather than incidental
churn.
## Verification
`.NET Format` (CSharpier, build, `dotnet format style
--verify-no-changes`) clean, zero warnings under `AnalysisMode=All` and
`TreatWarningsAsErrors`. markdownlint, CSpell, actionlint,
`editorconfig-checker`, shellcheck and shfmt clean. The hub's prose gate
and repository gate both clean.
## One thing beyond the three issues
`Download.DownloadFile()` and `DownloadFileAsync()` opened the
destination with `File.OpenWrite()`, which is `FileMode.OpenOrCreate`
and does not truncate, so a download over a longer existing file left
that file's trailing bytes after the downloaded content and returned
`true`. A local review pass raised it, and the maintainer asked for it
here rather than as a separate issue.
**The fix changed shape twice before settling, so read the current
behavior here rather than in the commit history.** Both methods now open
the destination with `FileMode.OpenOrCreate` and truncate it with
`SetLength(0)`, rewriting it in place. Its permissions, ownership, and
any hard links or symlinks to it survive, which a probe confirms on
Linux: mode 0600 stays 0600 with the file truncated to the body's
length, a hard link sees the new content, a symlink is written through
rather than replaced, and a read-only destination is refused with the
file intact.
The cost, which the release notes now state rather than leave implicit:
truncation happens once the response headers are accepted, so a download
that fails partway leaves a short file, where `File.OpenWrite()` left
the original bytes behind the newly written ones.
Two approaches were tried and rejected on the way, both by local review
passes:
- `FileMode.Create`, which empties the destination before a single body
byte exists, and which Windows refuses outright against a hidden file
where `OpenOrCreate` succeeds.
- Writing beside the destination and moving the result into place. That
gives the strongest failure guarantee, an untouched destination, but it
replaces the file's identity rather than its contents. Probed on Linux:
a 0600 destination came back 0664, a symlink was replaced by a regular
file leaving its target stale, a hard link kept the old content, and a
read-only destination was silently overwritten, since `rename(2)`
consults the directory's permission and not the file's, while Windows
refuses that same move. The maintainer chose in-place rewriting over
that trade.
Six tests cover it: two for the overwrite, two for a request that fails
before the response is accepted, and two for a destination that cannot
be opened.
## Not in this change
- The failing `Publish project release` run is the NuGet OIDC
`job_workflow_ref` claim,
[ProjectTemplate#1126](ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1126).
The fix moves the token exchange and the push into the calling
repository, so this repository's `publish-release.yml` needs new content
plus a re-pin. That cannot merge usefully until the hub fix reaches its
`main`, so it is a follow-up rather than part of this change.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:
1. Atomic temporary-file replacement
  • ➕ Preserves the original destination when a body transfer fails.
  • ➕ Can make completed downloads atomic.
  • ➖ May replace permissions, ownership, hard links, or other destination metadata.
  • ➖ Changes the documented partial-download behavior and adds cross-platform replacement complexity.
2. Injected HTTP message handler
  • ➕ Avoids opening sockets and makes response scenarios inexpensive to simulate.
  • ➕ Eliminates ambient proxy concerns within tests.
  • ➖ Requires an injection seam around the shared client.
  • ➖ Does not exercise real socket transport, HTTP framing, or cancellation behavior.
3. Retain the complete StringHistory stream
  • ➕ Makes every limit change fully reversible.
  • ➕ Simplifies repartitioning by deriving the view from canonical history.
  • ➖ Defeats the bounded-memory purpose of StringHistory.
  • ➖ Allows previously discarded lines to reappear, violating the selected retention contract.
Recommendation: Keep the PR’s approach. Rewriting the destination in place preserves filesystem identity, the loopback server validates real HTTP behavior without third-party dependencies, and discard-only StringHistory repartitioning maintains bounded storage and stable stream semantics. The alternatives offer stronger atomicity or simpler simulation but conflict with existing contracts or introduce broader architectural changes.

🔵 Needs a closer look
It promotes multiple public-contract behavioral changes (I/O semantics and StringHistory retention rules) where final approval should include a human validation pass of the intended compatibility tradeoffs.
Pull request overview
Promotes develop to main by releasing version 4.1, including a Download overwrite/truncation correctness fix, a tightened and explicitly documented StringHistory head/tail retention contract (including negative-limit validation and post-set repartitioning), and deterministic offline download tests via a loopback HTTP server.
Changes:
  • Bumped the shipped version floor to 4.1 and updated release notes/docs to describe the new behavioral contracts.
  • Fixed Download.DownloadFile() / DownloadFileAsync() to truncate and rewrite destinations in place to avoid trailing-byte corruption when overwriting longer existing files.
  • Updated StringHistory limits to validate negatives, repartition stored history on limit changes, and document the “0 means keep none on that side” contract; updated tests accordingly (including offline download tests).

Apply Both StringHistory Limits in One Re-Partition (#457)
ecf7b55
Answers the two findings from the review of the `develop -> main`
promotion, #456. Neither could be pushed there, since that pull
request's head is `develop`, so both land here first and #456 picks them
up.
## `StringHistory.SetLimits()`
Assigning `MaxFirstLines` and `MaxLastLines` one after the other
re-partitions twice, so the first assignment measures against the other
limit's previous value and discards lines the final pair would have
retained. On a default history holding ten lines:
```text
MaxFirstLines = 2; MaxLastLines = 3; -> 2 lines retained
MaxLastLines = 3; MaxFirstLines = 2; -> 3 lines retained
SetLimits(2, 3) -> 5 lines retained
```
The two-argument constructor was the only way to apply a pair
atomically, and it does not reach an instance that already holds lines.
`SetLimits()` validates both values, assigns both fields, and
re-partitions once.
Worth stating precisely, because the first draft of this change
over-claimed it and a local pass caught it: it is not that no ordering
ever avoids the loss. For a given target pair one order is often
lossless, and an exhaustive sweep of the reachable states found 264
where exactly one is. What holds is that **which** order works depends
on the values and on what is stored, so no fixed ordering is safe.
Six tests: the atomic case, the divergence from separate assignment,
both negative arguments, clearing to the unrestricted mode, and
`Repartition()`'s discarded branch reached through `SetLimits()`, which
caps each side against its own counter rather than against the whole
list.
The 300000-history fuzz now drives `SetLimits()` alongside the two
setters, holding the prefix-plus-suffix contract, the count bound, no
duplicates, and that an assignment never adds a line, across four and a
half million states.
## The grammar finding, and what it turned up
`AOT safe` becomes `AOT-safe` where it modifies a noun. The same
compound sits in `HttpClientFactory` and `AssemblyInfo` doc comments, so
those are corrected rather than left disagreeing with the release note.
Editing those two files brought them under the whole-file rule, which
surfaced three defects none of them on a changed line:
- `ARCHITECTURE.md` said `StringCompression` "passes `leaveOpen` so the
caller keeps ownership of the stream it supplied". Every public member
takes and returns a `string`; the only stream is one the method creates
and disposes itself, so a consumer would look for an overload that does
not exist.
- `AssemblyInfo`'s type summary read "AOT and trim safe", the last
unhyphenated instance in the repository and the copy that ships in the
XML docs.
- `HttpClientFactory`'s retry comment said a 4xx is not retried, three
lines below a bullet that retries 408 and 429.
## Verification
212 tests green. `.NET Format` clean-compile with zero warnings under
`AnalysisMode=All` and `TreatWarningsAsErrors`. markdownlint, CSpell,
`editorconfig-checker`, and both hub gates clean, the prose gate run
over whole files rather than changed lines.
## Not in this change
The `Publish project release` failure is the NuGet OIDC
`job_workflow_ref` claim,
[ProjectTemplate#1126](ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1126),
which needs a caller-side stub change here plus a re-pin once the hub
fix reaches its `main`.

Repair the Garbled Clause in the SetLimits Remark
3a54d0d
The sentence read "so no fixed ordering is safe and this applies both before
re-partitioning at all", which was meant as "this method applies both limits
before re-partitioning at all" and parses as neither. It is the remark a consumer
sees in IntelliSense on a published package, and it was explaining the one thing
the method exists for, so an unreadable clause there is worth its own fix.
Raised by a reviewer on the promotion pull request, #456, whose head is develop
and cannot carry a fix. It rides here rather than in a third pull request for one
sentence, which costs this one a review round and saves a whole cycle.
@ptr727
Push the NuGet Package From This Repository Rather Than the Hub Task (#…
137ab39
…458)
Restores NuGet publishing, which has been broken since this repository
adopted the hub release chain. This is this repository's half of the hub
fix,
[ProjectTemplate#1126](ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1126),
landed in the hub as `2.0.536`.
## What broke and why
The first real release after adopting the chain, [run
33336000403](https://github.com/ptr727/Utilities/actions/runs/33336000403),
failed at the NuGet.org token exchange:
```text
Token exchange failed (HTTP 401). Claim 'job_workflow_ref' has value
'<owner>/ProjectTemplate/.github/workflows/build-release-task.yml@f3b4cc9'
which does not start with <owner>/Utilities/.github/workflows/.
```
Trusted publishing validates that claim against the repository owning
the package, and the claim names the workflow the job actually ran from.
A push made from a hub-hosted task can never satisfy it, and a caller
hook does not help either, since a composite action runs inside the
hub's job. The hub therefore builds the package and uploads it, and the
calling repository pushes it.
## The change
**The pin and the stub edit are one change, not two.** The hub removed
the `nuget:` input and the `NUGET_USERNAME` secret from the task, so a
pin bump on its own startup-fails against names the task no longer
declares. All six references across three workflows move from `2.0.526`
to `2.0.536`.
I verified that mechanically rather than by reading: every input and
every secret each of the four callers passes is declared on the
corresponding task at `1fe2537`, and no newly-required input is
unpassed.
- `publish` drops the `NUGET_USERNAME` mapping, the `id-token: write`
grant and the `nuget:` input, keeping `enable_nuget` so the task still
builds and uploads the package.
- A new `publish-nuget` job downloads `nuget-build-${{ github.ref_name
}}`, trades the GitHub OIDC token for a short-lived NuGet key, and
pushes. `id-token: write` sits on that one job, which is what D7.2 asks
for.
- The smoke path drops `nuget: false` with them.
- Your nuget.org trusted-publishing policy needs no change: it already
names `ptr727/Utilities` and `publish-release.yml`, so this restores the
match rather than requiring a new policy.
## Carried content, and one local line that survived
`WORKFLOW.md` described the superseded model, that NuGet pushes from the
leaf, on three of the lines this change contradicts. It is carried at
`intent` fidelity, so it is carried forward from the hub rather than
hand-edited.
It is **not** a clean carry, and a blind re-vendor would have destroyed
something. The guard's exact-phrase probe found one line present here
and in **neither** hub revision: D1.6's statement that `CODECOV_TOKEN`
is mapped explicitly under the calling job's own `secrets:` block. Both
hub revisions instead say it reaches the validator via `secrets:
inherit`. The local line is the accurate one here, since both workflows
map the token explicitly, and it is preserved. The file now differs from
the hub by exactly that one line.
A local review pass then caught that carrying `WORKFLOW.md` had left the
carried Skills behind, which is what an agent actually loads at the
moment this matters. `release-publish-mechanics.md` still said "NuGet
pushes from inside the build-nuget hook", and `workflow-ci-contract`
still listed `nuget` as an orchestrator input. An agent bumping the pin
later would have read the pre-fix model and put the push back inside the
leaf, reproducing the exact failure this change fixes. Seven Skill files
carried from `2.0.536`, verified byte-identical afterward, and verified
a byte-clean carry of `2.0.526` beforehand so nothing local was at risk.
## One behavior change worth knowing
Moving the push out of the leaf reorders it after the GitHub release.
`D4.5` still holds for a failed **build**, which skips this job with the
rest. It does not cover a failed **push**: the release is cut inside
`publish` and `publish-nuget` runs after it, so a token-exchange failure
or a nuget.org outage leaves a release and tag for a version that never
reached NuGet.org. Re-running the publisher is the remedy, since the
release-exists gate and `--skip-duplicate` are both idempotent. That
shape comes from the hub's documented stub rather than from anything
chosen here, and the job comment records it.
## Verification, and its limit
actionlint, markdownlint, CSpell, `editorconfig-checker`, and both hub
gates clean. 212 tests green.
**A green pull request proves nothing about this path.** A smoke build
never reaches either push, which is exactly why this class of failure
survived to the first real release. The evidence will be the first
dispatched release after merge, and that run is what should be read
rather than this pull request.

Owner
Closes#427. Closes#452. Closes#454.
Promotes develop at f2a8f62 to main. One squashed pull request, #455, which closed the three open issues and fixed one defect found while doing so.
The issue-closing keywords sit here rather than on #455, since GitHub only closes an issue when the pull request merges into the default branch, and #455 merged into develop.
What is being promoted
  • StringHistory Limit Properties Misdocument Zero and Do Not Re-Partition When Set #454, the StringHistory limit properties.MaxFirstLines and MaxLastLines were each documented Set to 0 for no limit, which holds only when both are zero. Zero on one side is now documented as retaining no lines on that side, both the constructor and the setters reject a negative value, and assigning a limit re-partitions the lines already stored instead of being ignored. Re-partitioning only ever discards, so what is retained is always a prefix of the appended lines followed by a suffix of them, and once a line has been dropped the head is trimmed but never refilled.
  • Make the Download Tests Deterministic and Offline #452, the download tests. They reached www.google.com and httpstat.us, so the unit-test gate depended on outbound DNS and on two third parties, and paid a five-second sleep on every run. They now drive a loopback HTTP server on an ephemeral port, and the test assembly disables the ambient proxy so a machine with http_proxy set does not send loopback requests through it. Download's public surface is unchanged.
  • Remove references to the private template repo from carried files #427, the coordination reference.HISTORY.md named the template repository in its v3.5 entry and no longer does.
  • A Download defect found during the above.DownloadFile() and DownloadFileAsync() opened the destination with File.OpenWrite(), which does not truncate, so a download over a longer existing file left that file's trailing bytes after the downloaded content and returned true. Both now open with FileMode.OpenOrCreate and truncate with SetLength(0), rewriting in place so the destination's permissions, ownership, and any links to it survive.
  • The version floor, raised to 4.1, with the two shipped fixes recorded in HISTORY.md and README.md.
Verification
The merge is clean and git write-tree on it equals git rev-parse origin/develop^{tree} exactly (0cfd271c), so main ends up with develop's tree and nothing else.
develop carried 206 tests green, the .NET Format clean-compile chain with zero warnings under AnalysisMode=All and TreatWarningsAsErrors, markdownlint, CSpell, actionlint, editorconfig-checker, shellcheck and shfmt clean, and the hub's prose and repository gates clean. #455 went through eight review rounds; every thread was resolved and every suppressed finding answered, with suppressed on_head=0 at the merge.
Releases stay blocked, and this does not unblock them
publish-release.yml still fails at the NuGet OIDC token exchange, because the hub-hosted release chain makes the job_workflow_ref claim name the hub rather than this repository (ProjectTemplate#1126). The fix moves the token exchange and the push back into the calling repository, which needs new content in this repository's publish-release.yml plus a re-pin, and cannot land until that hub change reaches its main. That is a follow-up pull request, so merging this one leaves the latest release at 4.0.38.

Fix the StringHistory Limits and Make the Download Tests Offline (#455)
f2a8f62
Closes#427. Closes#452. Closes#454.
## #454, the `StringHistory` limit properties
`MaxFirstLines` and `MaxLastLines` were each documented `Set to 0 for no
limit`, which holds only when both are zero, the one branch `AppendLine`
treats as unrestricted. Set individually, zero retains none on that
side. The maintainer chose the smaller of the two directions the issue
offered, so the documentation now says what the code does rather than
the code changing to match the documentation.
Three behavioral changes on top of that:
- The constructor and both setters reject a negative value with
`ArgumentOutOfRangeException`, rather than letting it reach `RemoveAt`
and throw after entries have already been taken. The constructor
validates its own parameters, so the exception names `maxFirstLines` or
`maxLastLines` rather than `value`.
- Each setter re-partitions the lines already stored, so a limit
assigned after appending is honored instead of ignored.
- Re-partitioning only ever discards. Once a line has been dropped the
head is closed: it can be trimmed but never refilled, by a later append
or by a later, larger `MaxFirstLines`. What is retained is therefore
always a prefix of the stream followed by a suffix of it, which is
exactly the head-and-tail contract
[`ARCHITECTURE.md`](./ARCHITECTURE.md) states.
That third point is the one worth reviewing closely, and it is the one
two local review passes and a fuzz each found a different defect in
before it settled. A 300000-history fuzz over random append and limit
sequences holds the prefix-plus-suffix contract, the count bound, and
no-duplicates across four and a half million intermediate states.
## #452, the download tests
`DownloadTests` and `DownloadAsyncTests` reached `www.google.com` and
`httpstat.us`, so the unit-test gate depended on outbound DNS and on two
third parties it does not control, and paid a five-second sleep on every
run to exercise the timeout path.
They now drive a loopback HTTP server bound to an ephemeral port.
`Download`'s public surface is unchanged, so the `Lazy<HttpClient>`
contract in `ARCHITECTURE.md` still holds and the seam the issue offered
as the larger alternative was not needed.
- The server writes HTTP/1.1 onto a `TcpListener` socket rather than
using `HttpListener`, which on Windows resolves an explicit-address
prefix through http.sys and needs a URL reservation an unelevated
developer does not have. CI is Linux-only, so nothing here would have
caught that.
- Binding port 0 and reading the port back removes the probe-then-bind
race a first draft had.
- The negative case is a 404 from that server rather than a hostname
expected never to resolve, which a wildcard registration or a
captive-portal resolver would have silently inverted.
- The cancellation test waits for the server to signal that it holds the
request, cancels only then, and asserts the call returned well inside
the route's own delay. Asserting only that the call returned false would
have passed just as well if the server had never started.
- Both not-found tests assert the server actually routed the request,
for the same reason.
- The test assembly disables the ambient proxy. `HttpClientFactory`
leaves `SocketsHttpHandler.UseProxy` at its default, so a client
resolves `HttpClient.DefaultProxy`, which on Unix is read from
`http_proxy` and bypasses loopback only where `no_proxy` says to. A
machine configured that way would send every loopback request to a
proxy, which is the environment dependence this issue exists to remove.
The suite is 200 tests and runs in about one second, against 193 tests
and roughly six seconds before. Twenty consecutive runs were clean.
## #427, the coordination reference
`HISTORY.md` named the template repository in its v3.5 entry. It now
states what changed without naming where it came from.
`.github/copilot-instructions.md`, the other file the issue named, was
already clear, and the hub's own audit reports this repository clean.
A reviewer may read the `HISTORY.md` hunk as an out-of-scope edit to a
shipped release record. It is #427's deliverable rather than incidental
churn.
## Verification
`.NET Format` (CSharpier, build, `dotnet format style
--verify-no-changes`) clean, zero warnings under `AnalysisMode=All` and
`TreatWarningsAsErrors`. markdownlint, CSpell, actionlint,
`editorconfig-checker`, shellcheck and shfmt clean. The hub's prose gate
and repository gate both clean.
## One thing beyond the three issues
`Download.DownloadFile()` and `DownloadFileAsync()` opened the
destination with `File.OpenWrite()`, which is `FileMode.OpenOrCreate`
and does not truncate, so a download over a longer existing file left
that file's trailing bytes after the downloaded content and returned
`true`. A local review pass raised it, and the maintainer asked for it
here rather than as a separate issue.
**The fix changed shape twice before settling, so read the current
behavior here rather than in the commit history.** Both methods now open
the destination with `FileMode.OpenOrCreate` and truncate it with
`SetLength(0)`, rewriting it in place. Its permissions, ownership, and
any hard links or symlinks to it survive, which a probe confirms on
Linux: mode 0600 stays 0600 with the file truncated to the body's
length, a hard link sees the new content, a symlink is written through
rather than replaced, and a read-only destination is refused with the
file intact.
The cost, which the release notes now state rather than leave implicit:
truncation happens once the response headers are accepted, so a download
that fails partway leaves a short file, where `File.OpenWrite()` left
the original bytes behind the newly written ones.
Two approaches were tried and rejected on the way, both by local review
passes:
- `FileMode.Create`, which empties the destination before a single body
byte exists, and which Windows refuses outright against a hidden file
where `OpenOrCreate` succeeds.
- Writing beside the destination and moving the result into place. That
gives the strongest failure guarantee, an untouched destination, but it
replaces the file's identity rather than its contents. Probed on Linux:
a 0600 destination came back 0664, a symlink was replaced by a regular
file leaving its target stale, a hard link kept the old content, and a
read-only destination was silently overwritten, since `rename(2)`
consults the directory's permission and not the file's, while Windows
refuses that same move. The maintainer chose in-place rewriting over
that trade.
Six tests cover it: two for the overwrite, two for a request that fails
before the response is accepted, and two for a destination that cannot
be opened.
## Not in this change
- The failing `Publish project release` run is the NuGet OIDC
`job_workflow_ref` claim,
[ProjectTemplate#1126](ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1126).
The fix moves the token exchange and the push into the calling
repository, so this repository's `publish-release.yml` needs new content
plus a re-pin. That cannot merge usefully until the hub fix reaches its
`main`, so it is a follow-up rather than part of this change.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:
1. Atomic temporary-file replacement
  • ➕ Preserves the original destination when a body transfer fails.
  • ➕ Can make completed downloads atomic.
  • ➖ May replace permissions, ownership, hard links, or other destination metadata.
  • ➖ Changes the documented partial-download behavior and adds cross-platform replacement complexity.
2. Injected HTTP message handler
  • ➕ Avoids opening sockets and makes response scenarios inexpensive to simulate.
  • ➕ Eliminates ambient proxy concerns within tests.
  • ➖ Requires an injection seam around the shared client.
  • ➖ Does not exercise real socket transport, HTTP framing, or cancellation behavior.
3. Retain the complete StringHistory stream
  • ➕ Makes every limit change fully reversible.
  • ➕ Simplifies repartitioning by deriving the view from canonical history.
  • ➖ Defeats the bounded-memory purpose of StringHistory.
  • ➖ Allows previously discarded lines to reappear, violating the selected retention contract.
Recommendation: Keep the PR’s approach. Rewriting the destination in place preserves filesystem identity, the loopback server validates real HTTP behavior without third-party dependencies, and discard-only StringHistory repartitioning maintains bounded storage and stable stream semantics. The alternatives offer stronger atomicity or simpler simulation but conflict with existing contracts or introduce broader architectural changes.

🔵 Needs a closer look
It promotes multiple public-contract behavioral changes (I/O semantics and StringHistory retention rules) where final approval should include a human validation pass of the intended compatibility tradeoffs.
Pull request overview
Promotes develop to main by releasing version 4.1, including a Download overwrite/truncation correctness fix, a tightened and explicitly documented StringHistory head/tail retention contract (including negative-limit validation and post-set repartitioning), and deterministic offline download tests via a loopback HTTP server.
Changes:
  • Bumped the shipped version floor to 4.1 and updated release notes/docs to describe the new behavioral contracts.
  • Fixed Download.DownloadFile() / DownloadFileAsync() to truncate and rewrite destinations in place to avoid trailing-byte corruption when overwriting longer existing files.
  • Updated StringHistory limits to validate negatives, repartition stored history on limit changes, and document the “0 means keep none on that side” contract; updated tests accordingly (including offline download tests).

Apply Both StringHistory Limits in One Re-Partition (#457)
ecf7b55
Answers the two findings from the review of the `develop -> main`
promotion, #456. Neither could be pushed there, since that pull
request's head is `develop`, so both land here first and #456 picks them
up.
## `StringHistory.SetLimits()`
Assigning `MaxFirstLines` and `MaxLastLines` one after the other
re-partitions twice, so the first assignment measures against the other
limit's previous value and discards lines the final pair would have
retained. On a default history holding ten lines:
```text
MaxFirstLines = 2; MaxLastLines = 3; -> 2 lines retained
MaxLastLines = 3; MaxFirstLines = 2; -> 3 lines retained
SetLimits(2, 3) -> 5 lines retained
```
The two-argument constructor was the only way to apply a pair
atomically, and it does not reach an instance that already holds lines.
`SetLimits()` validates both values, assigns both fields, and
re-partitions once.
Worth stating precisely, because the first draft of this change
over-claimed it and a local pass caught it: it is not that no ordering
ever avoids the loss. For a given target pair one order is often
lossless, and an exhaustive sweep of the reachable states found 264
where exactly one is. What holds is that **which** order works depends
on the values and on what is stored, so no fixed ordering is safe.
Six tests: the atomic case, the divergence from separate assignment,
both negative arguments, clearing to the unrestricted mode, and
`Repartition()`'s discarded branch reached through `SetLimits()`, which
caps each side against its own counter rather than against the whole
list.
The 300000-history fuzz now drives `SetLimits()` alongside the two
setters, holding the prefix-plus-suffix contract, the count bound, no
duplicates, and that an assignment never adds a line, across four and a
half million states.
## The grammar finding, and what it turned up
`AOT safe` becomes `AOT-safe` where it modifies a noun. The same
compound sits in `HttpClientFactory` and `AssemblyInfo` doc comments, so
those are corrected rather than left disagreeing with the release note.
Editing those two files brought them under the whole-file rule, which
surfaced three defects none of them on a changed line:
- `ARCHITECTURE.md` said `StringCompression` "passes `leaveOpen` so the
caller keeps ownership of the stream it supplied". Every public member
takes and returns a `string`; the only stream is one the method creates
and disposes itself, so a consumer would look for an overload that does
not exist.
- `AssemblyInfo`'s type summary read "AOT and trim safe", the last
unhyphenated instance in the repository and the copy that ships in the
XML docs.
- `HttpClientFactory`'s retry comment said a 4xx is not retried, three
lines below a bullet that retries 408 and 429.
## Verification
212 tests green. `.NET Format` clean-compile with zero warnings under
`AnalysisMode=All` and `TreatWarningsAsErrors`. markdownlint, CSpell,
`editorconfig-checker`, and both hub gates clean, the prose gate run
over whole files rather than changed lines.
## Not in this change
The `Publish project release` failure is the NuGet OIDC
`job_workflow_ref` claim,
[ProjectTemplate#1126](ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1126),
which needs a caller-side stub change here plus a re-pin once the hub
fix reaches its `main`.

Repair the Garbled Clause in the SetLimits Remark
3a54d0d
The sentence read "so no fixed ordering is safe and this applies both before
re-partitioning at all", which was meant as "this method applies both limits
before re-partitioning at all" and parses as neither. It is the remark a consumer
sees in IntelliSense on a published package, and it was explaining the one thing
the method exists for, so an unreadable clause there is worth its own fix.
Raised by a reviewer on the promotion pull request, #456, whose head is develop
and cannot carry a fix. It rides here rather than in a third pull request for one
sentence, which costs this one a review round and saves a whole cycle.
@ptr727
Push the NuGet Package From This Repository Rather Than the Hub Task (#…
137ab39
…458)
Restores NuGet publishing, which has been broken since this repository
adopted the hub release chain. This is this repository's half of the hub
fix,
[ProjectTemplate#1126](ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1126),
landed in the hub as `2.0.536`.
## What broke and why
The first real release after adopting the chain, [run
33336000403](https://github.com/ptr727/Utilities/actions/runs/33336000403),
failed at the NuGet.org token exchange:
```text
Token exchange failed (HTTP 401). Claim 'job_workflow_ref' has value
'<owner>/ProjectTemplate/.github/workflows/build-release-task.yml@f3b4cc9'
which does not start with <owner>/Utilities/.github/workflows/.
```
Trusted publishing validates that claim against the repository owning
the package, and the claim names the workflow the job actually ran from.
A push made from a hub-hosted task can never satisfy it, and a caller
hook does not help either, since a composite action runs inside the
hub's job. The hub therefore builds the package and uploads it, and the
calling repository pushes it.
## The change
**The pin and the stub edit are one change, not two.** The hub removed
the `nuget:` input and the `NUGET_USERNAME` secret from the task, so a
pin bump on its own startup-fails against names the task no longer
declares. All six references across three workflows move from `2.0.526`
to `2.0.536`.
I verified that mechanically rather than by reading: every input and
every secret each of the four callers passes is declared on the
corresponding task at `1fe2537`, and no newly-required input is
unpassed.
- `publish` drops the `NUGET_USERNAME` mapping, the `id-token: write`
grant and the `nuget:` input, keeping `enable_nuget` so the task still
builds and uploads the package.
- A new `publish-nuget` job downloads `nuget-build-${{ github.ref_name
}}`, trades the GitHub OIDC token for a short-lived NuGet key, and
pushes. `id-token: write` sits on that one job, which is what D7.2 asks
for.
- The smoke path drops `nuget: false` with them.
- Your nuget.org trusted-publishing policy needs no change: it already
names `ptr727/Utilities` and `publish-release.yml`, so this restores the
match rather than requiring a new policy.
## Carried content, and one local line that survived
`WORKFLOW.md` described the superseded model, that NuGet pushes from the
leaf, on three of the lines this change contradicts. It is carried at
`intent` fidelity, so it is carried forward from the hub rather than
hand-edited.
It is **not** a clean carry, and a blind re-vendor would have destroyed
something. The guard's exact-phrase probe found one line present here
and in **neither** hub revision: D1.6's statement that `CODECOV_TOKEN`
is mapped explicitly under the calling job's own `secrets:` block. Both
hub revisions instead say it reaches the validator via `secrets:
inherit`. The local line is the accurate one here, since both workflows
map the token explicitly, and it is preserved. The file now differs from
the hub by exactly that one line.
A local review pass then caught that carrying `WORKFLOW.md` had left the
carried Skills behind, which is what an agent actually loads at the
moment this matters. `release-publish-mechanics.md` still said "NuGet
pushes from inside the build-nuget hook", and `workflow-ci-contract`
still listed `nuget` as an orchestrator input. An agent bumping the pin
later would have read the pre-fix model and put the push back inside the
leaf, reproducing the exact failure this change fixes. Seven Skill files
carried from `2.0.536`, verified byte-identical afterward, and verified
a byte-clean carry of `2.0.526` beforehand so nothing local was at risk.
## One behavior change worth knowing
Moving the push out of the leaf reorders it after the GitHub release.
`D4.5` still holds for a failed **build**, which skips this job with the
rest. It does not cover a failed **push**: the release is cut inside
`publish` and `publish-nuget` runs after it, so a token-exchange failure
or a nuget.org outage leaves a release and tag for a version that never
reached NuGet.org. Re-running the publisher is the remedy, since the
release-exists gate and `--skip-duplicate` are both idempotent. That
shape comes from the hub's documented stub rather than from anything
chosen here, and the job comment records it.
## Verification, and its limit
actionlint, markdownlint, CSpell, `editorconfig-checker`, and both hub
gates clean. 212 tests green.
**A green pull request proves nothing about this path.** A smoke build
never reaches either push, which is exactly why this class of failure
survived to the first real release. The evidence will be the first
dispatched release after merge, and that run is what should be read
rather than this pull request.

Closes#427. Closes#452. Closes#454.
Promotes develop at f2a8f62 to main. One squashed pull request, #455, which closed the three open issues and fixed one defect found while doing so.
The issue-closing keywords sit here rather than on #455, since GitHub only closes an issue when the pull request merges into the default branch, and #455 merged into develop.
What is being promoted
  • StringHistory Limit Properties Misdocument Zero and Do Not Re-Partition When Set #454, the StringHistory limit properties.MaxFirstLines and MaxLastLines were each documented Set to 0 for no limit, which holds only when both are zero. Zero on one side is now documented as retaining no lines on that side, both the constructor and the setters reject a negative value, and assigning a limit re-partitions the lines already stored instead of being ignored. Re-partitioning only ever discards, so what is retained is always a prefix of the appended lines followed by a suffix of them, and once a line has been dropped the head is trimmed but never refilled.
  • Make the Download Tests Deterministic and Offline #452, the download tests. They reached www.google.com and httpstat.us, so the unit-test gate depended on outbound DNS and on two third parties, and paid a five-second sleep on every run. They now drive a loopback HTTP server on an ephemeral port, and the test assembly disables the ambient proxy so a machine with http_proxy set does not send loopback requests through it. Download's public surface is unchanged.
  • Remove references to the private template repo from carried files #427, the coordination reference.HISTORY.md named the template repository in its v3.5 entry and no longer does.
  • A Download defect found during the above.DownloadFile() and DownloadFileAsync() opened the destination with File.OpenWrite(), which does not truncate, so a download over a longer existing file left that file's trailing bytes after the downloaded content and returned true. Both now open with FileMode.OpenOrCreate and truncate with SetLength(0), rewriting in place so the destination's permissions, ownership, and any links to it survive.
  • The version floor, raised to 4.1, with the two shipped fixes recorded in HISTORY.md and README.md.
Verification
The merge is clean and git write-tree on it equals git rev-parse origin/develop^{tree} exactly (0cfd271c), so main ends up with develop's tree and nothing else.
develop carried 206 tests green, the .NET Format clean-compile chain with zero warnings under AnalysisMode=All and TreatWarningsAsErrors, markdownlint, CSpell, actionlint, editorconfig-checker, shellcheck and shfmt clean, and the hub's prose and repository gates clean. #455 went through eight review rounds; every thread was resolved and every suppressed finding answered, with suppressed on_head=0 at the merge.
Releases stay blocked, and this does not unblock them
publish-release.yml still fails at the NuGet OIDC token exchange, because the hub-hosted release chain makes the job_workflow_ref claim name the hub rather than this repository (ProjectTemplate#1126). The fix moves the token exchange and the push back into the calling repository, which needs new content in this repository's publish-release.yml plus a re-pin, and cannot land until that hub change reaches its main. That is a follow-up pull request, so merging this one leaves the latest release at 4.0.38.

Fix the StringHistory Limits and Make the Download Tests Offline (#455)
f2a8f62
Closes#427. Closes#452. Closes#454.
## #454, the `StringHistory` limit properties
`MaxFirstLines` and `MaxLastLines` were each documented `Set to 0 for no
limit`, which holds only when both are zero, the one branch `AppendLine`
treats as unrestricted. Set individually, zero retains none on that
side. The maintainer chose the smaller of the two directions the issue
offered, so the documentation now says what the code does rather than
the code changing to match the documentation.
Three behavioral changes on top of that:
- The constructor and both setters reject a negative value with
`ArgumentOutOfRangeException`, rather than letting it reach `RemoveAt`
and throw after entries have already been taken. The constructor
validates its own parameters, so the exception names `maxFirstLines` or
`maxLastLines` rather than `value`.
- Each setter re-partitions the lines already stored, so a limit
assigned after appending is honored instead of ignored.
- Re-partitioning only ever discards. Once a line has been dropped the
head is closed: it can be trimmed but never refilled, by a later append
or by a later, larger `MaxFirstLines`. What is retained is therefore
always a prefix of the stream followed by a suffix of it, which is
exactly the head-and-tail contract
[`ARCHITECTURE.md`](./ARCHITECTURE.md) states.
That third point is the one worth reviewing closely, and it is the one
two local review passes and a fuzz each found a different defect in
before it settled. A 300000-history fuzz over random append and limit
sequences holds the prefix-plus-suffix contract, the count bound, and
no-duplicates across four and a half million intermediate states.
## #452, the download tests
`DownloadTests` and `DownloadAsyncTests` reached `www.google.com` and
`httpstat.us`, so the unit-test gate depended on outbound DNS and on two
third parties it does not control, and paid a five-second sleep on every
run to exercise the timeout path.
They now drive a loopback HTTP server bound to an ephemeral port.
`Download`'s public surface is unchanged, so the `Lazy<HttpClient>`
contract in `ARCHITECTURE.md` still holds and the seam the issue offered
as the larger alternative was not needed.
- The server writes HTTP/1.1 onto a `TcpListener` socket rather than
using `HttpListener`, which on Windows resolves an explicit-address
prefix through http.sys and needs a URL reservation an unelevated
developer does not have. CI is Linux-only, so nothing here would have
caught that.
- Binding port 0 and reading the port back removes the probe-then-bind
race a first draft had.
- The negative case is a 404 from that server rather than a hostname
expected never to resolve, which a wildcard registration or a
captive-portal resolver would have silently inverted.
- The cancellation test waits for the server to signal that it holds the
request, cancels only then, and asserts the call returned well inside
the route's own delay. Asserting only that the call returned false would
have passed just as well if the server had never started.
- Both not-found tests assert the server actually routed the request,
for the same reason.
- The test assembly disables the ambient proxy. `HttpClientFactory`
leaves `SocketsHttpHandler.UseProxy` at its default, so a client
resolves `HttpClient.DefaultProxy`, which on Unix is read from
`http_proxy` and bypasses loopback only where `no_proxy` says to. A
machine configured that way would send every loopback request to a
proxy, which is the environment dependence this issue exists to remove.
The suite is 200 tests and runs in about one second, against 193 tests
and roughly six seconds before. Twenty consecutive runs were clean.
## #427, the coordination reference
`HISTORY.md` named the template repository in its v3.5 entry. It now
states what changed without naming where it came from.
`.github/copilot-instructions.md`, the other file the issue named, was
already clear, and the hub's own audit reports this repository clean.
A reviewer may read the `HISTORY.md` hunk as an out-of-scope edit to a
shipped release record. It is #427's deliverable rather than incidental
churn.
## Verification
`.NET Format` (CSharpier, build, `dotnet format style
--verify-no-changes`) clean, zero warnings under `AnalysisMode=All` and
`TreatWarningsAsErrors`. markdownlint, CSpell, actionlint,
`editorconfig-checker`, shellcheck and shfmt clean. The hub's prose gate
and repository gate both clean.
## One thing beyond the three issues
`Download.DownloadFile()` and `DownloadFileAsync()` opened the
destination with `File.OpenWrite()`, which is `FileMode.OpenOrCreate`
and does not truncate, so a download over a longer existing file left
that file's trailing bytes after the downloaded content and returned
`true`. A local review pass raised it, and the maintainer asked for it
here rather than as a separate issue.
**The fix changed shape twice before settling, so read the current
behavior here rather than in the commit history.** Both methods now open
the destination with `FileMode.OpenOrCreate` and truncate it with
`SetLength(0)`, rewriting it in place. Its permissions, ownership, and
any hard links or symlinks to it survive, which a probe confirms on
Linux: mode 0600 stays 0600 with the file truncated to the body's
length, a hard link sees the new content, a symlink is written through
rather than replaced, and a read-only destination is refused with the
file intact.
The cost, which the release notes now state rather than leave implicit:
truncation happens once the response headers are accepted, so a download
that fails partway leaves a short file, where `File.OpenWrite()` left
the original bytes behind the newly written ones.
Two approaches were tried and rejected on the way, both by local review
passes:
- `FileMode.Create`, which empties the destination before a single body
byte exists, and which Windows refuses outright against a hidden file
where `OpenOrCreate` succeeds.
- Writing beside the destination and moving the result into place. That
gives the strongest failure guarantee, an untouched destination, but it
replaces the file's identity rather than its contents. Probed on Linux:
a 0600 destination came back 0664, a symlink was replaced by a regular
file leaving its target stale, a hard link kept the old content, and a
read-only destination was silently overwritten, since `rename(2)`
consults the directory's permission and not the file's, while Windows
refuses that same move. The maintainer chose in-place rewriting over
that trade.
Six tests cover it: two for the overwrite, two for a request that fails
before the response is accepted, and two for a destination that cannot
be opened.
## Not in this change
- The failing `Publish project release` run is the NuGet OIDC
`job_workflow_ref` claim,
[ProjectTemplate#1126](ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1126).
The fix moves the token exchange and the push into the calling
repository, so this repository's `publish-release.yml` needs new content
plus a re-pin. That cannot merge usefully until the hub fix reaches its
`main`, so it is a follow-up rather than part of this change.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:
1. Atomic temporary-file replacement
  • ➕ Preserves the original destination when a body transfer fails.
  • ➕ Can make completed downloads atomic.
  • ➖ May replace permissions, ownership, hard links, or other destination metadata.
  • ➖ Changes the documented partial-download behavior and adds cross-platform replacement complexity.
2. Injected HTTP message handler
  • ➕ Avoids opening sockets and makes response scenarios inexpensive to simulate.
  • ➕ Eliminates ambient proxy concerns within tests.
  • ➖ Requires an injection seam around the shared client.
  • ➖ Does not exercise real socket transport, HTTP framing, or cancellation behavior.
3. Retain the complete StringHistory stream
  • ➕ Makes every limit change fully reversible.
  • ➕ Simplifies repartitioning by deriving the view from canonical history.
  • ➖ Defeats the bounded-memory purpose of StringHistory.
  • ➖ Allows previously discarded lines to reappear, violating the selected retention contract.
Recommendation: Keep the PR’s approach. Rewriting the destination in place preserves filesystem identity, the loopback server validates real HTTP behavior without third-party dependencies, and discard-only StringHistory repartitioning maintains bounded storage and stable stream semantics. The alternatives offer stronger atomicity or simpler simulation but conflict with existing contracts or introduce broader architectural changes.

🔵 Needs a closer look
It promotes multiple public-contract behavioral changes (I/O semantics and StringHistory retention rules) where final approval should include a human validation pass of the intended compatibility tradeoffs.
Pull request overview
Promotes develop to main by releasing version 4.1, including a Download overwrite/truncation correctness fix, a tightened and explicitly documented StringHistory head/tail retention contract (including negative-limit validation and post-set repartitioning), and deterministic offline download tests via a loopback HTTP server.
Changes:
  • Bumped the shipped version floor to 4.1 and updated release notes/docs to describe the new behavioral contracts.
  • Fixed Download.DownloadFile() / DownloadFileAsync() to truncate and rewrite destinations in place to avoid trailing-byte corruption when overwriting longer existing files.
  • Updated StringHistory limits to validate negatives, repartition stored history on limit changes, and document the “0 means keep none on that side” contract; updated tests accordingly (including offline download tests).

Apply Both StringHistory Limits in One Re-Partition (#457)
ecf7b55
Answers the two findings from the review of the `develop -> main`
promotion, #456. Neither could be pushed there, since that pull
request's head is `develop`, so both land here first and #456 picks them
up.
## `StringHistory.SetLimits()`
Assigning `MaxFirstLines` and `MaxLastLines` one after the other
re-partitions twice, so the first assignment measures against the other
limit's previous value and discards lines the final pair would have
retained. On a default history holding ten lines:
```text
MaxFirstLines = 2; MaxLastLines = 3; -> 2 lines retained
MaxLastLines = 3; MaxFirstLines = 2; -> 3 lines retained
SetLimits(2, 3) -> 5 lines retained
```
The two-argument constructor was the only way to apply a pair
atomically, and it does not reach an instance that already holds lines.
`SetLimits()` validates both values, assigns both fields, and
re-partitions once.
Worth stating precisely, because the first draft of this change
over-claimed it and a local pass caught it: it is not that no ordering
ever avoids the loss. For a given target pair one order is often
lossless, and an exhaustive sweep of the reachable states found 264
where exactly one is. What holds is that **which** order works depends
on the values and on what is stored, so no fixed ordering is safe.
Six tests: the atomic case, the divergence from separate assignment,
both negative arguments, clearing to the unrestricted mode, and
`Repartition()`'s discarded branch reached through `SetLimits()`, which
caps each side against its own counter rather than against the whole
list.
The 300000-history fuzz now drives `SetLimits()` alongside the two
setters, holding the prefix-plus-suffix contract, the count bound, no
duplicates, and that an assignment never adds a line, across four and a
half million states.
## The grammar finding, and what it turned up
`AOT safe` becomes `AOT-safe` where it modifies a noun. The same
compound sits in `HttpClientFactory` and `AssemblyInfo` doc comments, so
those are corrected rather than left disagreeing with the release note.
Editing those two files brought them under the whole-file rule, which
surfaced three defects none of them on a changed line:
- `ARCHITECTURE.md` said `StringCompression` "passes `leaveOpen` so the
caller keeps ownership of the stream it supplied". Every public member
takes and returns a `string`; the only stream is one the method creates
and disposes itself, so a consumer would look for an overload that does
not exist.
- `AssemblyInfo`'s type summary read "AOT and trim safe", the last
unhyphenated instance in the repository and the copy that ships in the
XML docs.
- `HttpClientFactory`'s retry comment said a 4xx is not retried, three
lines below a bullet that retries 408 and 429.
## Verification
212 tests green. `.NET Format` clean-compile with zero warnings under
`AnalysisMode=All` and `TreatWarningsAsErrors`. markdownlint, CSpell,
`editorconfig-checker`, and both hub gates clean, the prose gate run
over whole files rather than changed lines.
## Not in this change
The `Publish project release` failure is the NuGet OIDC
`job_workflow_ref` claim,
[ProjectTemplate#1126](ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1126),
which needs a caller-side stub change here plus a re-pin once the hub
fix reaches its `main`.

🔵 Needs a closer look
It promotes multiple public-behavior changes (I/O semantics, buffering/retention rules, and test infrastructure) where final human sign-off is prudent for a default-branch release.

Repair the Garbled Clause in the SetLimits Remark
3a54d0d
The sentence read "so no fixed ordering is safe and this applies both before
re-partitioning at all", which was meant as "this method applies both limits
before re-partitioning at all" and parses as neither. It is the remark a consumer
sees in IntelliSense on a published package, and it was explaining the one thing
the method exists for, so an unreadable clause there is worth its own fix.
Raised by a reviewer on the promotion pull request, #456, whose head is develop
and cannot carry a fix. It rides here rather than in a third pull request for one
sentence, which costs this one a review round and saves a whole cycle.
@ptr727
Push the NuGet Package From This Repository Rather Than the Hub Task (#…
137ab39
…458)
Restores NuGet publishing, which has been broken since this repository
adopted the hub release chain. This is this repository's half of the hub
fix,
[ProjectTemplate#1126](ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1126),
landed in the hub as `2.0.536`.
## What broke and why
The first real release after adopting the chain, [run
33336000403](https://github.com/ptr727/Utilities/actions/runs/33336000403),
failed at the NuGet.org token exchange:
```text
Token exchange failed (HTTP 401). Claim 'job_workflow_ref' has value
'<owner>/ProjectTemplate/.github/workflows/build-release-task.yml@f3b4cc9'
which does not start with <owner>/Utilities/.github/workflows/.
```
Trusted publishing validates that claim against the repository owning
the package, and the claim names the workflow the job actually ran from.
A push made from a hub-hosted task can never satisfy it, and a caller
hook does not help either, since a composite action runs inside the
hub's job. The hub therefore builds the package and uploads it, and the
calling repository pushes it.
## The change
**The pin and the stub edit are one change, not two.** The hub removed
the `nuget:` input and the `NUGET_USERNAME` secret from the task, so a
pin bump on its own startup-fails against names the task no longer
declares. All six references across three workflows move from `2.0.526`
to `2.0.536`.
I verified that mechanically rather than by reading: every input and
every secret each of the four callers passes is declared on the
corresponding task at `1fe2537`, and no newly-required input is
unpassed.
- `publish` drops the `NUGET_USERNAME` mapping, the `id-token: write`
grant and the `nuget:` input, keeping `enable_nuget` so the task still
builds and uploads the package.
- A new `publish-nuget` job downloads `nuget-build-${{ github.ref_name
}}`, trades the GitHub OIDC token for a short-lived NuGet key, and
pushes. `id-token: write` sits on that one job, which is what D7.2 asks
for.
- The smoke path drops `nuget: false` with them.
- Your nuget.org trusted-publishing policy needs no change: it already
names `ptr727/Utilities` and `publish-release.yml`, so this restores the
match rather than requiring a new policy.
## Carried content, and one local line that survived
`WORKFLOW.md` described the superseded model, that NuGet pushes from the
leaf, on three of the lines this change contradicts. It is carried at
`intent` fidelity, so it is carried forward from the hub rather than
hand-edited.
It is **not** a clean carry, and a blind re-vendor would have destroyed
something. The guard's exact-phrase probe found one line present here
and in **neither** hub revision: D1.6's statement that `CODECOV_TOKEN`
is mapped explicitly under the calling job's own `secrets:` block. Both
hub revisions instead say it reaches the validator via `secrets:
inherit`. The local line is the accurate one here, since both workflows
map the token explicitly, and it is preserved. The file now differs from
the hub by exactly that one line.
A local review pass then caught that carrying `WORKFLOW.md` had left the
carried Skills behind, which is what an agent actually loads at the
moment this matters. `release-publish-mechanics.md` still said "NuGet
pushes from inside the build-nuget hook", and `workflow-ci-contract`
still listed `nuget` as an orchestrator input. An agent bumping the pin
later would have read the pre-fix model and put the push back inside the
leaf, reproducing the exact failure this change fixes. Seven Skill files
carried from `2.0.536`, verified byte-identical afterward, and verified
a byte-clean carry of `2.0.526` beforehand so nothing local was at risk.
## One behavior change worth knowing
Moving the push out of the leaf reorders it after the GitHub release.
`D4.5` still holds for a failed **build**, which skips this job with the
rest. It does not cover a failed **push**: the release is cut inside
`publish` and `publish-nuget` runs after it, so a token-exchange failure
or a nuget.org outage leaves a release and tag for a version that never
reached NuGet.org. Re-running the publisher is the remedy, since the
release-exists gate and `--skip-duplicate` are both idempotent. That
shape comes from the hub's documented stub rather than from anything
chosen here, and the job comment records it.
## Verification, and its limit
actionlint, markdownlint, CSpell, `editorconfig-checker`, and both hub
gates clean. 212 tests green.
**A green pull request proves nothing about this path.** A smoke build
never reaches either push, which is exactly why this class of failure
survived to the first real release. The evidence will be the first
dispatched release after merge, and that run is what should be read
rather than this pull request.

🔵 Needs a closer look
It changes public library behavior and release/publishing workflows (OIDC + artifacts), which warrants final human verification before promotion to main.
