fix(tooling): close two blind spots in unrooted_local_shape.py (schema 2 -> 3 re-pin at 581) - #10719
proggeramlug wants to merge 3 commits into
Conversation
#10713: `--no-raise-vs <base>` compared the merge base's recorded baseline with the checked-out one and never scanned the tree, so a branch that added findings without touching the baseline compared 561 against 561 and printed "no ceiling raised" while `--check` failed on the same worktree with `REGRESSION: 563 findings exceeds baseline 561`. It now scans the worktree and compares the measured total and per-file counts against the base's recorded ceilings, and prints the resolved base SHA with both totals. #10713, second hole: the dispatch was `if args.no_raise_vs:`, so the empty string an unset $BASE_SHA expands to was falsy, the mode was never entered, and the script fell through to the plain report and exited 0. Now `is not None`, with `resolve_ref` rejecting an empty ref the way raw_handle_debt.py's `git_show` rejects an unfetched one. #10715: `LET_BIND` was matched per line, so a binding rustfmt broke after the `=` -- a function of indentation depth and identifier length, not of anything about the code -- was never tracked. A `let` is now folded back into one statement first. Statements containing a brace stay line-oriented on purpose, so a closure body's own bindings do not go dark. The measured surface moves 558 -> 581 across 85 files (+34 newly visible, -11 false positives in ioredis.rs where a wrapped SHADOWING `let` failed to reset the identity). The baseline is deliberately NOT re-pinned: it still records 561, so both forms are red pending an audited schema migration. Each fix plants the defect it fixes in `--self-test`, verified by reverting each one in isolation. The old self-test passed on the day the live check was fooled, which was the point. Refs #10713, #10715.
The wrapped-`let` fold changes what the detector can count, so the recorded 561 and the measured 581 are two different yardsticks. That is what the script's audited-migration exemption is for, and it is the same situation as the 1 -> 2 migration. The ratchet is unchanged: it still fails on finding 582, verified by planting one. The exemption becomes an explicit AUDITED_MIGRATIONS list naming each migration and its reason, instead of a hard-coded (1, BASELINE_SCHEMA) pair. Every unlisted schema change is still rejected, and --self-test now asserts that 2 -> 4 is refused and that BASELINE_SCHEMA cannot be bumped without naming its own migration -- otherwise a renumber would exempt every PR from the ratchet. 581 = 558 + 34 newly visible - 11 false positives. Two of the 34 were inspected and are genuine unrooted-across-allocation shapes; the other 32 are unaudited exposure surface, not known bugs.

Describe all audited migrations.
no_raise_vs skips the worktree scan for every pair in AUDITED_MIGRATIONS, including the new 2 -> 3 migration. The current text says this occurs only for the schema-1 migration. Change this to refer to audited schema migrations.

Landed in merge train 224 (#10742), released as v0.5.1603 — main is now Closing rather than merging is how trains work here: the PRs were cherry-picked onto one tree, validated together, and landed under the train's own commit, so GitHub cannot mark this one merged even though your change is on main. One deliberate divergence, for #10719 only: the train carries Validation: all nine cheap gates, |

Correction to the landed commit message: the baseline was re-pinned at 580, not 581.
The gate reads the file, so nothing is broken and nothing needs re-running. The defect is in the record. Why it happened, and why it's worth a noteThis PR measured 581 against I resolved it by re-deriving with this PR's own new detector against the assembled tree ( Why this matters more than an off-by-one in a logThe next person to re-pin this baseline will read "re-pin at 581" in the commit message — which is now permanent in the git log, outliving any issue comment — derive from it, and be off by one before they start. The failure is silent: the gate never disagrees with them, because the gate reads the file and they read the message. It is also the same shape as #10739, one layer out. There, six PRs recorded an absolute count that no longer matched the tree. Here a landed commit records an absolute that never matched its own diff. Both are prose and artifact drifting apart, and both are invisible to review, because the only consumer that matters reads the artifact. The rule this argues for: when a number is gated, derive it from the artifact, never from prose describing the artifact — not a commit message, not a PR title, not an issue comment. For anyone deriving from here: main currently records 580. Merge train 225 takes it to 578, because removing the uuid native binding drops two findings; that value was re-derived the same way and |

scripts/unrooted_local_shape.pyhad two independent ways of not firing. Both are thefourth shape in CLAUDE.md's "★ Four ways a gate can be unable to fail" — the one where
the job is genuinely green.
Read this first: the gate's own history is not evidence
#10713 means every previous green from the
--no-raise-vsarm was vacuous — thatarm never read a line of source, so it could not have been reporting on the code it ran
over. That includes the run on #10668. Any "the vs-base check passed" in this gate's
history says nothing about the tree it passed. That is the reason this is worth landing
ahead of the queue.
#10713 —
--no-raise-vs <base>returned green where--checkfailedIt read the merge base's recorded baseline and the checked-out one and compared those
two numbers. A branch that adds findings without touching the baseline therefore
compares 561 against 561. Reproduced by appending five planted shapes to
crates/perry-ext-http/src/response_headers.rsand leaving the baseline alone:Same worktree, seconds apart — and 563 is the number from the original report.
Second hole, same issue:
--no-raise-vs ""compared nothing and exited 0. Thedispatch was
if args.no_raise_vs:— truthiness — and the empty string an unset$BASE_SHAexpands to is falsy. The mode was never entered; the script fell through tothe plain report and printed an ordinary finding table. Note this made the existing
git_show-style guard unreachable for that case: nothing called it.An unresolvable ref was already handled correctly, so that candidate is ruled out; so is
the
improved-state one, which is computed only in--checkand plays no part here.Fix.
--no-raise-vsnow scans the worktree and compares measured total and per-filecounts against the base's recorded ceilings — the same yardstick
--checkuses, so thetwo forms agree — and prints the resolved base SHA with both totals so a reader can tell
a real comparison from a vacuous one. Dispatch is

#10715 — the line-oriented detector missed anything rustfmt wrapped
LET_BINDwas matched per line. Once a binding sits a few levels deep, or carries a typeannotation, rustfmt breaks it after the
=and the head line has no right-hand side:nothing matched, the local was never tracked, the finding vanished. A false negative
bought with an indent — so the deepest-nested code, where rooting bugs live, was the
least scanned, and the totals were partly a measure of formatting. It bit for real on
#10668, where a genuine rooting fix had to be hoisted into a top-level function
(
build_set_cookie_array) purely to keep its binding on one line.A
letis now folded back into one statement before matching. Statements containing abrace are still read line by line, on purpose: a closure,
matchor struct-literalinitializer carries its own bindings and collection points, and folding those into one
expression would trade this blind spot for a strictly larger one.
561 → 581 is not a loosened ratchet
A reviewer will read the re-pin as slackening the gate. It is not. The old 561 was
produced by a weaker detector. Comparing 581 against it compares two different
yardsticks — which is precisely why the script already carries the audited-schema-
migration exemption. This is the same situation as the 1 → 2 migration, for the same
reason, and it is recorded as an audited schema 2 → 3 migration.
The ratchet's job is unchanged: it still fails on finding 582, verified by planting
one (
REGRESSION: 582 findings exceeds baseline 581).The measured surface moves 558 → 581 across 85 files (was 80), net +23 in two directions:
perry-stdlib/src/events.rs6 → 13,perry-ext-node-forge20 → 24, and five files that recorded nothing at all.Two of these were inspected and are genuine unrooted-across-allocation shapes.
perry-ext-fastify/src/context.rs:750is one:let obj: *mut ObjectHeader =wrappedby its own type annotation, with
objthen held acrossalloc_stringin the loopbelow. Nothing about that code was safe; only its line breaks hid it. The other 32
are unaudited exposure surface, not known bugs — the number has always been a
surface rather than a bug count, and these 32 have simply never been looked at,
because no instrument could see them.
perry-stdlib/src/ioredis.rs(14 → 3): the same defectinverted. A wrapped shadowing
let err_str =also matched nothing, so the deadidentity from the earlier binding of that name stayed live and every use of the fresh
one was reported against it.
The re-pin also tightens one axis nobody asked about: the old baseline recorded 561
while
mainmeasured 558, three findings of slack. The new pin is exact (581 = 581).The exemption is now an explicit
AUDITED_MIGRATIONSlist naming each migration and itsreason, instead of a hard-coded
(1, BASELINE_SCHEMA)pair. Every unlisted schema changeis still rejected, and
--self-testasserts both that 2 → 4 is refused and thatBASELINE_SCHEMAcannot be bumped without naming its own migration — otherwise arenumber would exempt every PR from the ratchet.
One honest caveat: because this PR is the migration, its own
--no-raise-vsarmreports
audited schema migration 2 -> 3and skips the measured comparison. That isinherent to the exemption (1 → 2 did the same). The absolute
--checkis live and greenat the new pin, and the measured arm is covered end-to-end by
_self_test_no_raise_vs.Tests — each plants the defect it fixes
The old
--self-testpassed on the day the live check was fooled, which is the wholeproblem: a self-test that does not cover the failing mode is not evidence about it. Each
fix was verified by reverting it in isolation and re-running:

_self_test_no_raise_vs, which drives the realno_raise_vsover the observed combination (both recorded baselines identical at 561,worktree measuring 563, git and the scan stubbed so it stays a fixture), and
_self_test_empty_ref_dispatch, which goes throughmain().One test I had to replace, worth knowing about. My first empty-ref test called
resolve_ref("")directly — and removing the guard did not make it fail, becausegit rev-parserejects an empty ref anyway. It passed against the sabotaged build. Thereal defect was in the dispatch, so the test now goes through
main(); theresolve_refcases are kept, commented as asserting the message, not the behaviour. Given what this
PR is about, I did not want that failure mode hiding in my own tests.
