Stacked on #900. Review that one first; this diff is only the second commit.

The problem

Entries the workspace overlay synthesizes from the staged database come out of repositories::metadata::from_file_node, which stamps resource.version with the commit id. A newly staged file therefore advertised itself at /file/{commit_id}/{path}, and that 404s. The base commit never held those bytes. Only /file/{workspace_id}/{path} reaches them, because the workspace branch of the file controller reads the staged database before falling back to the commit.

The same entry carried the base commit as its latest_commit, so the "last modified" column dated it by a commit that predates the file.

Committed and modified entries were already fine: they inherit the workspace id from the parsed resource the listing was built with.

What changed

staged_resource_view addresses a synthesized entry through the workspace: version is the workspace id, path is the full repo-relative path, and resource is {workspace_id}/{path}. That is exactly what the committed entries beside them already carry, since a workspace listing's parsed resource is versioned by workspace id. Directories the overlay synthesizes get the same resource, which is what makes them addressable at all.

latest_commit becomes None, the honest answer for bytes no commit holds. The field is already Option<Commit> on the wire, and the folder view already branches on it rather than assuming a commit is there.

Built here rather than in repositories::metadata: from_file_node and from_dir_node are shared with the diff path, where stamping the commit id is correct.

Tests

One test asserting the resource fields on a staged addition, on the directory the workspace synthesized, and on a committed entry alongside them, plus the absent latest_commit.

Full suite green: 1323 tests, 0 failures.

Wire shape

Unchanged. No field added or removed; only the values a synthesized entry carries.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Workspace listings now correctly identify staged files and workspace-only directories.
    • Staged entries display the workspace path and no longer show commit metadata when changes are not part of the base commit.
    • Committed entries continue to reference the appropriate workspace context.

Walkthrough

Workspace listing metadata now addresses staged files and workspace-only directories through the workspace ID and path. Staged files omit latest_commit. A test validates staged, committed, and synthesized directory entries.

Changes

Workspace Resource Addressing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workspace resource metadata
crates/liboxen/src/repositories/workspaces.rs
Staged files and staged-only directories now receive workspace-based ParsedResourceView metadata. Staged files omit latest_commit.
Workspace listing validation
crates/liboxen/src/repositories/entries.rs
An asynchronous test verifies workspace IDs, paths, resource paths, workspace context, and commit metadata for staged, committed, and workspace-only entries.

1512-1512: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Remove the existing entries before changing their types.

to_dir is a committed file, so line 1512 cannot create it as a directory. to_file is a committed directory, so line 1518 cannot write a file at that path. Remove the existing workspace paths, with the required staged removal semantics, before creating and staging their replacements. The test otherwise returns an I/O error before it validates the overlay behavior.

Entries the overlay synthesizes from a workspace's staged database came out of
`repositories::metadata::from_file_node`, which stamps `resource.version` with the commit
id. A newly staged file therefore advertised itself at `/file/{commit_id}/{path}`, which
404s: the base commit never held those bytes, and only the workspace resource reads the
staged database first. It also carried the base commit as `latest_commit`, dating the entry
by a commit that predates it.

`staged_resource_view` addresses those entries through the workspace instead, so
`version` is the workspace id, `path` is the full repo-relative path, and `resource` is
`{workspace_id}/{path}`. That matches what the committed entries beside them already carry,
since the parsed resource for a workspace listing is versioned by workspace id. Directories
the overlay synthesizes get the same resource, which is what makes them openable at all.

`latest_commit` becomes `None`, the honest answer for bytes no commit holds. It is already
`Option<Commit>` on the wire and already rendered as "no commit" by clients.

The resource is built here rather than in `repositories::metadata`, whose `from_file_node`
and `from_dir_node` are shared with the diff path and are correct there.
