A repository fact read from a command, and a falsifier for the one it claims - #68
Conversation
…lready is `owner` and `visibility` are each written once per repository. Across one fleet that is 78 `owner` lines carrying seven distinct values -- 41 copies of one string inside a single organisation -- and a repository that flips its visibility leaves 77 other files saying what they always said. `owner_from` and `visibility_from` are the move `private_owners_from` already made: a command whose stdout is the value, run in the repository root, so a workspace fact is written once outside the tree instead of once per tree. What they are not is a lookup. Deriving the owner from `origin` is the defect rather than the fix -- repointing `origin` at somebody else's remote is the accident `prevent-public-push` exists to catch, and a derived allow-list is repointed by the same command. A command that asks a forge what a repository is today has the same shape one layer over: it hands three guards' one scope condition to a network call that answers nothing on a train and nothing in CI without a token. So what the command reads has to be a value somebody decided. Which is why every way it can fail to answer is exit 2, and there is no `..._optional` beside these. An unreadable private-owner list degrades to a narrower check; an unreadable owner degrades to the tautology above, and an unreadable visibility stands a disclosure guard down. A non-zero exit, an empty answer, a second line and a word that is not a visibility are each refused, and the refusal names the fallback it declined to take. Two refusals at load. `owner` beside `owner_from` is two statements of one fact, free to disagree with nothing here to notice -- the defect the field removes, arriving through the field. And neither may arrive by inheritance: a bundled set or an `inherit.paths` file carrying a command runs it in every inheriting repository on a version bump, with nothing in any of those trees to review, which is the reason `private-names` gives for not shipping `private_owners_from`. The answer is cached for the process and never to disk. The private-name family asks about visibility three times, once per variant, and a workspace answering from an organisation index should pay for that once. A cache outliving the run would be a stale answer with a longer life, which is what a declaration exists to avoid. Refs #54.
… a probe can `visibility` is written into a policy file and read by three guards as the condition they fire under. The forge owns the fact, the file holds a copy, and nothing reconciles the two -- so a repository flipped to public goes on being judged by a file that says `private`, with the private-name guards standing down over a tree everybody can read. Across one fleet, 78 policies declare a visibility and nothing anywhere would notice if one of them stopped being true. `no-stale-visibility` refuses exactly one state: declared private, served public. It is a falsifier rather than a resolver, and building it the other way is what would make it dangerous. No probe can prove a repository is PRIVATE -- a 404 is a private repository, a deleted one, a renamed one, and a request that carried no credentials -- while every probe can disprove it, and that is the direction that leaks. So nothing is read back into the declaration. A forge that did not answer is exit 2, never a downgrade to "confirmed private": if a failed lookup could settle it, an offline laptop would flip the guards to `private` and disarm a disclosure check in silence, which is fail-open on the one family where fail-open is unacceptable. A policy declaring `public` has no claim of privacy to disprove, makes no request, and says so. It ships as a set of its own rather than joining `private-names`, for the reason `stale-pins` is a name of its own: it reaches a forge, so its verdict depends on where the machine running it is standing, and a repository that cannot live with a network-dependent gate should be able to take the family without it. The stages are `stale-pins`'s too -- pre-push and manual, never pre-commit, because a guard that adds a round trip to every commit is one somebody comments out. It asks through the same `gh` lookup the private-name family uses, and deliberately not a second mechanism. Two ways of asking one question are two answers free to disagree, and this rule's exit-state ranking rests on the distinction that lookup already draws between "the forge will not show us this" and "the forge would not talk to us". The test helper now puts the real git on the fixture's PATH. A `git` shim loads the policy of the tree it is invoked in and fails closed when that policy will not load, so on a machine with one installed the shim rather than the guard was deciding what `git remote get-url` answered in a fixture -- which made a guard that reads `origin` a test of the installed binary instead of this one. Closes #54.

Reject blank second output lines.
Line 1744 removes blank lines before it checks output cardinality. printf 'acme\n\n' passes as one value. The command contract requires one line, and the documentation says that more than one line exits 2.
Count physical lines before trimming or filtering. Then require one non-empty trimmed value. Add a regression case for a blank second line.

…in a Unix file Both from the review on #68. ONE VALUE, NOT ONE LINE. The reference said more than one line exits 2 and the code drops blank lines before counting, so `printf 'acme\n\n'` passed as one answer while the documentation said it would not. The code is right and the sentence was wrong: a trailing blank line is what `cat` gives back for any file that ends with one, and counting it would make the field refuse the exact shape it exists for. Two non-empty lines are still two answers. Said in the code, in the refusal text, in the reference, and pinned by a test, because it reads as an oversight and is not one. THE ONE UNGUARDED UNIX CALL. The real-git symlink went in beside mode bits that were already `#[cfg(unix)]` and was not, which made it the single line that would stop the suite COMPILING off Unix rather than merely failing there.

Closes #54.
Two halves of that issue, in the order it argues them.
owner_fromandvisibility_fromThe duplication the issue measures: 78 policy files declare an
ownerforseven distinct values, 41 copies of one string inside a single organisation.
These take a command whose stdout is the value, run in the repository root --
the shape
private_owners_fromalready uses.They move a DECLARATION and never look one up. Deriving the owner from
originis the defect rather than the fix, and a command that asks a forge what a
repository is today hands three guards' one scope condition to a network call.
So every way the command can fail to answer is exit 2: non-zero exit, empty
output, a second line, a word that is not a visibility. There is no
..._optionalbeside them, because an unreadable owner degrades to thetautology and an unreadable visibility stands a disclosure guard down.
Two refusals at load.
ownerbesideowner_fromis two statements of one factwith nothing to reconcile them. Neither may arrive from a bundled set or an
inherit.pathsfile, for the reasonprivate-namesgives for not shippingprivate_owners_from: a command arriving that way runs in every inheritingrepository on a version bump with nothing in any of those trees to review.
The answer is cached for the process and never to disk.
no-stale-visibility, in the newstale-visibilitysetThe declaration is a cache with no reconcile, so this is the reconcile. It
refuses exactly one state -- declared private, served public -- because that is
the only direction a probe can establish, and it is the direction that leaks.
The last two rows are the design. If a failed lookup could settle the answer,
an offline laptop would flip the guards to private and disarm a disclosure
check in silence.
A set of its own rather than a rule added to
private-names, for the reasonstale-pinshas a name of its own: it reaches a forge, so a repository thatcannot live with a network-dependent gate can still take the family. Stages are
stale-pins's too -- pre-push and manual, never pre-commit.It asks through the same
ghlookup the private-name family uses, anddeliberately not a second mechanism: this rule's exit-state ranking rests on
the distinction that lookup already draws between "the forge will not show us
this" and "the forge would not talk to us".
Tests
14 new cases in
tests/base_sets_cli.rs. The test helper now puts the real giton the fixture PATH -- a
gitshim loads the policy of the tree it is invokedin and fails closed when that policy will not load, so on a machine with one
installed the shim rather than the guard was deciding what
git remote get-urlanswered.Note for anyone adopting the set
A binary that predates it will not resolve
stale-visibility, so a policyinheriting it makes an installed shim fail closed. Reinstall first.
