A universal Agent whose obsolete private copy cannot be retired installs
nothing there, yet every entry point counted that retirement failure as an
install failure — aborting `npm install`, `dws skill setup`, and the shell
installers even when the canonical store and all links published correctly,
and skipping the skills-state write. Route retirement failures to a separate
warning path across all surfaces (Go upgrade + skill setup, npm, PowerShell,
install.sh, install-skills.sh, install-event.sh, install-devapp.sh).
Also:
- Add a checked-rename fallback for filesystems that reject the atomic
no-replace flag (NFS, FUSE, overlayfs); the no-clobber contract is kept and
the previously unsupported platforms build and work.
- PowerShell multi-mode links only bundle skills, never the shared canonical
store, so third-party/user skills are no longer fanned into every Agent root.
- Prune ~/.dws/skill-backups to the newest 5 on every surface; encode
HOME-relative backup names on PowerShell to preserve origin.
- Add simulated-win32 junction coverage and rewrite the tautological
no-replace test; remove dead code whose tests gave false coverage.
- Soften the overstated Windows ownership-proof comment (NTFS tunneling).
Fifth-review addition: declaring InputFile silently claims the whole
@-prefixed value space, which matters in this product because at-mention
style values are common (--at-user @zhangsan would report a file read
failure), and declaring InputStdin makes a literal "-" unreachable. Both
are decided at declaration time and cannot be fixed downstream, so record
them next to the confirmation rule in the author rules.
Fourth-review fix: the FlagSpec sub-field table in the homology doc is
the named authority for "what each field does and whether it reaches
Schema parameters", and RFC §5.0.2 asserts declaration fields embed into
dws.schema.*. Input satisfied neither entry, leaving its deliberate
non-projection indistinguishable from an oversight. Add the table row and
the §5.0.2 exception note so the capability stays a declared fact (Usage
prose) rather than inviting an invented annotation.
Document the landed corecmd.Input transitional form: declaration shape
(FlagSpec/LeafFlag/shortcut.Flag), runtime resolution semantics and
ordering, author rules (help prose, confirmation interaction with
stdin, construction-time validation), and the delta table against the
target typed InputSource design.
The Coverage context was the PR critical path (~17 min end to end):
coverage-current re-ran the whole suite serially (-p 1, ~13 min) and
coverage-baseline re-ran it again at the merge-base (~13 min) although
that profile is a pure function of the base commit.
- coverage-current now owns only the scoped (standard-tier) profile;
full-suite candidate profiles come from a 5-way shard matrix
(app/cli/generators/helpers/remaining) that keeps -p 1 inside each
shard on isolated runners. scripts/ci/test-packages.sh list-coverage
defines the shards and verify proves the union equals the previous
single-run package set exactly once.
- the aggregate Coverage job reassembles the disjoint shard profiles
into coverage.txt before make coverage-gate, failing closed when a
shard file is missing, so gate semantics (100% changed-code +
scope-matched overall non-regression) are byte-compatible.
- coverage-baseline restores the merge-base full-suite profile from an
exact-key cache (merge-base SHA + resolved Go version) written by the
last green main push; any miss falls back to recomputing in the
merge-base worktree. Exact key only - no prefix fallback, a near-miss
profile would compare the candidate against the wrong commit.
- new contract tests pin the shard matrix, the assembly step, the
exact-key cache pair, and the absence of restore-keys; the package
plan test also covers the coverage shard partition.
