shadow.rs

1//! Shadow git history of agent changes.
2//!
3//! Records snapshots of the project's working tree into a git repository kept
4//! entirely **outside** the user's own `.git` — at
5//! `<data>/shadow/<project-hash>/git`, driven via `GIT_DIR` + `GIT_WORK_TREE`.
6//! This lets an agent (or the human) snapshot, review, diff, and revert the
7//! changes the LLM made, independently of the user's commits. The user's
8//! repository is never read or mutated.
