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.
- install.ps1: remove published junctions lexically in Restore-MultiSkillSet
(Windows PowerShell 5.1 follows reparse points during Remove-Item -Recurse
and could delete canonical store contents); clean link staging dirs
lexically in Publish-CanonicalSkillLinks and Move-SkillPathRecoverably
- install.ps1: Test-SamePhysicalSkillRoot now dereferences junctions via
Get-PhysicalSkillPath (mirrors EvalSymlinks/realpathSync/cd -P), so reruns
recognize already-published junctions instead of backup churn
- install-event.sh: replace silent 'mv ... 2>/dev/null || true' rollback with
the loud backup-retained failure contract already enforced for devapp
- event/devapp sh+ps1: link→copy fallback and per-agent failures now degrade
per agent like install.sh (skip loudly, continue, report at the end)
instead of aborting mid-loop or swallowing errors
- tests: junction-lexical removal contract, event per-agent degrade
integration test, pwsh junction physical-root recognition + rerun
idempotency (no backup churn)
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.
release_version was interpolated into an awk regex, where '.' matches any
character. Version 1.0.1-beta.1 therefore also admitted
.changes/released/1x0x1-betaX1/, letting the archive drift from the
CHANGELOG version while every other seal assertion still passed and
breaking the documented audit trail.
Compare the archive prefix with index() and split the basename off with
substr(), matching the literal-comparison idiom already used throughout
check-changelog-pr.sh. Only the basename, whose character class is fixed,
stays a pattern.
Both trigger predicates ran the same git diff, which the script already
avoids elsewhere by staging --name-status into $tmp_root/status. Write the
path list once and let each awk predicate read it, matching that idiom.
Git records no diff entry for a directory itself, so adding
.changes/foo/bar.md only surfaced the nested path, which the single-level
trigger regex skipped. The entry validation and the renderer were both
bypassed, letting a nested directory reach main and break every later
fragment render with 'unexpected directory'.
Trigger the top-level tree validation on any .changes change outside
.changes/released/ (which keeps its own immutability and release-seal
checks), and assert .changes itself is still a tree so replacing it with a
blob or symlink cannot empty the child listing unnoticed.
Re-rendering stays keyed on fragment changes so a README-only edit does
not fail on an empty fragment set.
