fix(review): preserve absent gitlinks in snapshots - #217
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughGit execution now shares environment construction and supports binary stdin. Complete snapshot staging preserves absent gitlinks, respects staged deletions, and records checked-out gitlink revisions across ordinary and ephemeral snapshot capture paths, with four regression tests.

401-408: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winRename the local
gitEnvironmentvariable to avoid shadowing the module-levelgitEnvironment()helper.Line 401 declares
const gitEnvironment: GitEnvironment = {...}, which shadows the module-levelgitEnvironment(environment)function defined at line 157. No current call insidecaptureReviewSnapshotinvokes the function by that name, so this doesn't crash today, but any future call togitEnvironment(...)added inside this function's scope would silently resolve to the local object and throw aTypeErrorat runtime instead of calling the helper.♻️ Suggested rename
- const gitEnvironment: GitEnvironment = { + const gitEnv: GitEnvironment = { indexFile: temporaryIndex, objectDirectory: temporaryObjectDirectory, alternateObjectDirectory, };(and update the subsequent references at lines 407, 424-428, 438-440 accordingly)

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win
Document why absentLiveIndexGitlinks deliberately skips the environment override.
This call to runGitBytes(root, ["ls-files", "--stage", "-z"]) intentionally omits environment so it reads the real .git/index rather than the not-yet-populated temp index used for staging — this is correct, but it's a non-obvious invariant. A future edit that "fixes" this by passing the same environment as stageCompleteWorkspace would silently break gitlink preservation (the temp index doesn't exist yet at this point). A one-line comment would prevent that regression.
📝 Suggested clarifying comment
function absentLiveIndexGitlinks(root: string): Buffer[] {
+ // Intentionally reads the real repository index (no environment override):
+ // the temp staging index used by stageCompleteWorkspace does not exist yet.
const output = runGitBytes(root, ["ls-files", "--stage", "-z"]);📝 Committable suggestion

The gitlink-preservation approach is sound, and the focused RED-to-GREEN coverage proves the core snapshot defect.
Before merge, please add:
- A docs-only regression with multiple absent clean gitlinks, asserting that only the Markdown path enters scope, the route remains trivial, and no review lenses are selected.
- Lifecycle parity coverage proving START, FINALIZE, and pre-commit retain the same candidate tree and path digest.
Renaming the shadowed gitEnvironment local is worthwhile cleanup, but it is not blocking. Once the two regression paths pass against current main, this should be ready for another review.
