amont_runtime/gate_stamp.rs
1//! The record that turns "a declaration exists" into "the check ran".
2//!
3//! Moving a gate entry to commit time (`docs/checks.md`, "Moving a gate entry
4//! earlier") makes the push gate skip a script because a `pre-commit`
5//! declaration covers it. A declaration is a promise on paper: a commit made
6//! with `--no-verify`, from a libgit2 client that runs no hooks, or on a
7//! machine without amont was never judged by it — and until this module
8//! existed, push time had no way to tell those commits from checked ones.
9//!
10//! Three hooks share one record:
11//!
12//! 1. **pre-commit** ([`record`]) writes a one-shot marker into `$GIT_DIR`
13//! naming the gate scripts that actually ran, bound to the tree the commit
14//! is about to write (`git write-tree` — during pre-commit the index IS
15//! the commit's content; `staged_only` parks only the working tree).
16//! 2. **post-commit** ([`bind_to_head`]) consumes the marker and, when the
17//! marker's tree matches `HEAD^{tree}`, stamps the commit in a notes ref.
18//! `--no-verify` skips pre-commit but NOT post-commit, so an unchecked
19//! commit arrives here with no marker and gets no stamp — which is the
20//! entire point. The tree comparison makes an aborted commit's leftover
21//! marker harmless, and a retried commit of the SAME tree correctly
22//! stamped: the check really did run on exactly that content.
23//! 3. **pre-push** ([`stamps_for`]) reads the stamps back and suppresses a
24//! gate script only for pushes whose relevant commits all carry it.
25//!
26//! Every failure mode points the same direction: no marker, a mismatched
27//! tree, a missing note, a rewritten hash — all mean "no stamp", and no stamp
28//! means the push gate RUNS. Nothing here can let an unchecked commit
29//! through; it can only cost a redundant gate run.
30//!
31//! Why a notes ref and not config: notes are keyed by commit, garbage-collect
32//! with unreachable commits (an `amont.checked.<hash>` config key would
33//! outlive every rebase forever), stay local (notes refs are not pushed by
34//! default), and stay out of `git log` (only `refs/notes/commits` displays by
35//! default). `amont uninstall` deletes the ref; see `uninstall_repo_hooks`.
