feat(check-drawing): show a paused pull's splice tree and pending work as text by roschaefer · Pull Request #494 · roschaefer/git-splice

roschaefer · 2026-11-13T19:39:49Z

A recursive pull is hard to follow. The step-by-step page draws its states, but only by recording the refs one pull moves and replaying them afterwards; nothing showed the states while a real pull runs, or what the pull still had to do for each splice.

check-drawing is now a library as well, and draws its splice tree as text from the same rows it writes the drawings from. git-splice adds only what it alone knows: each splice's task, done or pending, from a paused pull (PullExecution::tasks()).

The test recursive_pull_step_by_step in check-drawing/tests/ builds the step-by-step page's state with its setup.bash, pauses one real pull --recursive at each step, and checks two things:

the tree as text, with each splice's task;
the page's own drawings step-0, step-a to step-d and step-folded, against the live state at that pause.

After merging b/, where the page shows step-b:

monorepo      (pb*)
└─ vendor/a/  (a2) … [pb'*]  done
   ├─ b/      (b2*)          done
   │  └─ c/   (c1)           pending: merge
   ├─ d/      (d1)           pending: merge
   └─ e/      (e1)           done

(x) is a commit, [x] one no upstream branch has (dashed in the drawings), * a commit the pull brought in (outlined blue).

The live run shows a step the replay hides: right after vendor/a's merge, e/ is there but its upstream isn't fetched yet, so e1 isn't in the repository. The page's step-a drawing, which shows e1, only matches after the extra fetch of e/ that follows. The replay applies every fetched ref first.

Not in this PR:

Push reports no tasks yet.
No command line output yet, e.g. check-drawing tree --text for an --exec hook in a scrut page.

A recursive pull is hard to follow: the drawings show its states, but a Rust test that pauses it could only print ad-hoc lines of refs and file contents. A paused pull now gives the splice tree as a table, in the drawings' terms: per splice the boundary B, synced commit U, rebuild R and upstream branch T, indented inside its parent, and what the pull did or still does for it ("pending: merge, after b/"). Commits are labeled like the drawings: by the names a test gives them, by the scenario label in their subject ("a1: ..."), or as name' for a rebuild of a named commit. A test reuses the step-by-step page's setup.bash and checks the table after each fetch, merge and the fold; the merge states match the page's drawings step-a to step-d.

Walkthrough

The change adds a public splice-tree model that collects splice state and task progress, renders it as a table, and exposes task reporting through execution and pull progress. A recursive-pull test checks the rendered tree at fetch, merge, and fold checkpoints.

Changes: Splice tree task reporting

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Tree model and rendering `src/tree.rs`, `src/lib.rs`, `docs/10-contributing/01-development.md`	Adds the public tree module and a tree model that collects splice state from HEAD. Rendering displays B/U/R/T commit labels, task status, and an optional next step. The development code map now lists `src/tree.rs`.
Execution and merge task states `src/execution.rs`, `src/merge.rs`	Adds a default empty task list to `Operation`. `Execution::splice_tree()` passes operation tasks to repository tree collection. `MergeProgress::tasks()` reports conflict, failure, completion, or pending merge states for splice paths.
Pull progress and tree checks `src/pull.rs`	Adds `PullExecution::splice_tree()` and phase-based task reporting for fetch, merge, fold, and cleanup. A recursive-pull test checks rendered trees at fetch, merge, and fold checkpoints.

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 0c520

Inspecting the splice tree at a pause can change what a later pull fetches for newly added child splices, which may leave them missing newer upstream commits. Failed downloads are also shown as pending merges. Fix the cache side effect before merging; the display issue is minor.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names a feature (a paused pull's splice tree and pending work shown as text), and the changeset adds a text renderer (SpliceTree::render, labels), a PullExecution::splice_tree and tasks() path, and a recursive pull test. The title is specific and accurate, with a minor mismatch: the raw summary describes the PR objectives as adding a table in src/tree.rs and the check-drawing crate is referenced in the description, but the core change matches the title's main point.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description explains the motivation (recursive pulls are hard to follow, and the step-by-step page only replays recorded refs), describes making check-drawing a library that renders the splice tree as text, and points to the PullExecution::tasks() addition and a recursive_pull_step_by_step test. It also gives an example tree output and lists what is out of scope. It is closely related to the changeset.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Report failed downloads as failed tasks.

If a download fails, advance stores its path in self.fetch_failures before the AfterFetch pause. This arm still reports pending: merge for that path. begin_merges then excludes the path, so its task disappears while other splices proceed.

Use Task::Failed for failed downloads and retain those outcomes when combining merge tasks. Keep never-attempted downstream work pending.

The table computed B, U, R and T a second time, in its own format, though check-drawing's tree already reads them from git-splice's code for the drawings. check-drawing is now a library too, and draws the same rows as text; git-splice keeps only what it alone knows: each splice's task. The test moves into check-drawing. It pauses one real pull --recursive at each step, prints the tree with each splice's task, and checks the step-by-step page's drawings against that live state. step-a only matches after the extra fetch of e/: the page's replay shows e fetched already.

The tasks were inferred afterwards from the merge's skipped and failed lists and its position: the splice whose merge conflicted showed "done" and the ones waiting behind it "conflict", removed splices and copies showed "done", splices a failed fetch kept from merging showed "pending" and then vanished, and "next: fold" showed for pulls that don't fold. The merge now records an outcome per splice at each decision (done, conflict, blocked by another splice, failed, removed, copy), pull reports failed fetches from one rule shared with begin_merges, keeps the outcomes to the end, and says "fold" only when it folds. The merge step is an enum, and notes name splices by path, as tree rows can differ in nesting.
