1//! What:
2//!  The real Git version check,
3//!  run once per invocation before work that depends on Git's
4//!       behavior:
5//!  a commit,
6//!  hooks and locks.
7//! Why:
8//!  The native tables and protocols follow Git 2.56.0,
9//!  and the
10//!  owner settled on 2.55.0 as the oldest release that runs the swap,
11//!  so 2.55.0 or newer counts as supported and that read-only commands are never checked
12//!      (`doc/handover/cli-git-rust-implementation.md`,
13//!  "Adopted without a question").
14//!
15//! In TS you'd write (pseudocode):
16//! ```ts
17//! await requireSupportedGit({ gitPath }); // once
18//! ```

20/// Running real Git.
21use super::transaction_git::{GitContext, GitOutput, GitRequest, run_git};
22/// `OnceLock` holds the one answer of this process.
23use std::sync::OnceLock;
24
25/// The oldest supported Git release.
26pub const MINIMUM_GIT_VERSION: (u64, u64, u64) = (2, 55, 0);
27
28/// A Git release as its major,
29///  minor and patch numbers.
30pub type GitRelease = (u64, u64, u64);
31
32/// The answer of this process's one check.
33static CHECKED: OnceLock<Result<GitRelease, String>> = OnceLock::new();
34
35/// What:
36///  The release numbers of `git version` output,
37///  such as `git version 2.56.0.windows.1`.
38/// Why:
39///   Only the first three dotted numbers decide support;
40///  platform suffixes vary.
41///
42/// In TS you'd write (pseudocode):
43/// ```ts
44/// function parseGitVersion(output: string): [number, number, number] | undefined;
45/// ```
46pub fn parse_git_version(output: &[u8]) -> Option<(u64, u64, u64)> {
47    let text: &str = std::str::from_utf8(output).ok()?;
48    let release: &str = text.strip_prefix("git version ")?.split_whitespace().next()?;
49    let mut parts: std::str::Split<'_, char> = release.split('.');
50    let major: u64 = parts.next()?.parse::<u64>().ok()?;
51    let minor: u64 = parts.next()?.parse::<u64>().ok()?;
52    let patch_text: &str = parts.next()?;
53    // A release candidate such as `2.56.0-rc1` keeps its leading digits.
54    let digits: &str = &patch_text[..patch_text.find(not_digit).unwrap_or(patch_text.len())];
55    let patch: u64 = digits.parse::<u64>().ok()?;
56    return Some((major, minor, patch));
57}
58
59/// What:
60///  Whether a character is not an ASCII digit.
61/// Why:
62///   A named predicate keeps the search free of closures.
63///
64/// In TS you'd write (pseudocode):
65/// ```ts
66/// (character: string) => !/[0-9]/.test(character)
67/// ```
68fn not_digit(character: char) -> bool {
69    return !character.is_ascii_digit();
70}
71
72/// What:
73///  The message for an unsupported or unreadable Git.
74/// Why:
75///   The person must know which Git was asked and what to do.
76///
77/// In TS you'd write (pseudocode):
78/// ```ts
79/// `cli-git: ... needs Git 2.55.0 or newer ...`
80/// ```
81pub fn unsupported_message(context: &GitContext, found: &str) -> String {

84         with them need Git 2.55.0 or newer. Nothing was run. Upgrade Git, then run the command \
85         again.",

89
90/// What:
91///  Ask Git its version and decide support,
92///  without the cache.
93/// Why:
94///   `check_git_version` remembers this answer.
95///
96/// In TS you'd write (pseudocode):

119
120/// What:
121///  Require a supported Git,
122///  asking at most once per process.
123/// Why:
124///   The check costs a Git process,
125///  so later dependent steps reuse the answer.
126///
127/// In TS you'd write (pseudocode):
128/// ```ts
129/// await requireSupportedGit({ gitPath });

135/// What:
136///  Return the answer already stored in `cell`,
137///  or ask once and store the answer.
138/// Why:
139///   `check_git_version` keeps one answer per process;
140///  a separate cell lets the controls
141///       prove the ask runs once without sharing the process-wide answer.
142///
143/// In TS you'd write (pseudocode):
144/// ```ts
145/// const checked ??= await askGitVersion(context);
146/// ```
147pub fn check_once(
