Restrict backup pruning to directories whose names match the DWS stamp
format (YYYYmmdd-HHMMSS with optional -N suffix) across all 8 installer
surfaces (Go, npm, 4 shell, 2 PowerShell). Unknown directories in
~/.dws/skill-backups are now preserved. Also fixes Windows coverage test
portability and covers the remaining macOS changed-code gap (retire
warning loop in runUpgrade).
Every neighbouring string in the root help listing — service
descriptions, utility descriptions, global flag usage — is hardcoded
Chinese. Routing only the feedback label through i18n therefore rendered
it in English on any host whose LANG is not zh_*, leaving a lone English
line inside an otherwise Chinese screen.
Hardcode the label and drop the two locale entries it needed. A test
assertion now pins the Chinese label so the indirection cannot return
unnoticed.
`dws --help` now closes with a Feedback section that links the
user-experience survey form, tagged with source=dws-cli so submissions
arriving through the CLI can be told apart from other channels.
The entry is deliberately root-only: this CLI is driven mostly by AI
agents, and repeating a survey link in every subcommand help would be
pure context noise. A guard test pins that boundary.
The URL is printed on its own unwrapped line — it is longer than the
help rule width, and breaking it would stop terminals from recognizing
it as a clickable hyperlink.
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).
Split chat message and group references by task, update intent routing and context budget, distinguish accepted card updates from verified writes, and explain the ambiguous chat --from flag.
The allowSystemApps gate (homeDir == systemHome) was effectively a no-op in
production: systemHome came from os.UserHomeDir, which honors the $HOME env
override just like homeDir, so the two were always equal and the gate never
fired when $HOME was overridden.
ResolveSystemHomeDir now prefers the OS user database (getpwuid on Unix),
which is independent of $HOME, falling back to $HOME only when the user record
cannot be resolved. Production behavior is unchanged (a real $HOME still
matches); an isolated/overridden HOME now correctly skips machine-wide
/Applications discovery for zcode/minimax. The app surface references the same
shared resolver.
This is the correct fix for the hermeticity concern (machine-wide state leaking
into an isolated HOME): there is no cross-surface production inconsistency to
port — script installers always operate on the real user HOME in practice, so
they need no gate.
