User description

Purpose

This PR is S3a-v2, a structural replacement of the frozen S3a-v1 attempt in
PR #493. It is reconstructed directly from current main, not branched from
PR #493.

Source lineage:

Scope

This PR owns one outgoing pre-push evidence authority:

  • capture stdin once at the hook boundary;
  • normalize raw strings, string arrays, and structured updates through one
    parser;
  • persist one immutable JSON evidence snapshot in a private OS temp directory;
  • pass only the bounded artifact path to signing and local admission;
  • resolve branch, new-branch, deletion, tag, no-op, and multi-ref semantics;
  • fail closed on malformed/truncated/missing evidence, Git failures, and missing
    objects;
  • preserve NUL-safe changed paths through JSON string elements;
  • clean up the artifact in the hook-owned finally path.

Bulk evidence is not placed in environment variables or CLI arguments.

Non-goals

Validation

  • tests/unit/signing.test.ts: 15/15 passed;
  • Biome and git diff --check: passed;
  • docs:check: passed with 6959 tests / 575 files;
  • pnpm run ci:prepush: passed;
  • real empty-stream pre-push hook: signing verified 0 objects and mandatory
    local admission completed successfully;
  • signing doctor and local commit verification: passed;
  • final patch: 7 files, 393 additions / 41 deletions.

Summary by Sourcery

Replace the pre-push evidence handoff with a secure, bounded artifact-based validation flow.

New Features:

  • Replace pre-push evidence transfer with a private temporary JSON snapshot shared by signing and local admission checks.
  • Support reliable validation of branch updates, new branches, deletions, tags, no-op pushes, and multi-ref pushes while preserving changed paths losslessly.

Bug Fixes:

  • Fail closed when pre-push evidence is malformed, incomplete, unsupported, unavailable, or associated Git objects cannot be resolved.
  • Avoid size-related failures caused by passing bulk push evidence through environment variables or command-line arguments.

Enhancements:

  • Centralize pre-push input normalization, evidence serialization, and push resolution behind a shared contract.

Documentation:

  • Update documented test metrics to reflect the expanded signing and pre-push coverage.

Tests:

  • Add coverage for evidence normalization, secure artifact handling, push resolution, failure cases, path preservation, and large multi-ref pushes.

CodeAnt-AI Description

Replace pre-push evidence handoff with a secure temporary snapshot

What Changed

  • Pre-push data is captured once and shared through a private temporary file instead of being passed through process input or environment-sized arguments
  • Push checks now handle empty pushes, branch updates, new branches, deletions, tags, and multiple refs
  • Malformed, incomplete, missing, or unsupported push data fails closed before signing or local checks continue
  • Changed paths, including names with spaces, tabs, newlines, and non-ASCII characters, are preserved correctly
  • Added coverage for evidence normalization, secure file handling, push resolution, failure cases, and large multi-ref pushes

Impact

✅ Reliable multi-ref pre-push validation
✅ Fewer failures on large pushes
✅ Clear rejection of invalid push evidence

Reviewer's Guide

This PR structurally replaces the pre-push evidence handoff with a fail-closed, immutable JSON snapshot: the hook captures and normalizes stdin once, persists it in a private temporary artifact, and passes only the bounded path to signing and local admission. New resolution logic handles all supported ref-update types and safely derives changed paths, with cleanup and comprehensive unit coverage for malformed inputs, missing Git objects, artifact integrity, permissions, and large multi-ref pushes.

Summary

This PR implements a structural replacement for pre-push evidence handoff by capturing stdin once at the hook boundary, persisting immutable JSON evidence in a temporary file, and passing only the bounded file path to child processes. This approach addresses ARG_MAX environment limitations.

Critical Issue

Found 1 blocking defect:

  • Logic Error in pre-push.mjs: Top-level await operations (lines 10, 30, 40) will crash at runtime because they're not wrapped in an async function context. The script uses async/await syntax without the required async wrapper, causing execution to fail when attempting cleanup operations.

Testing Note

While the PR description mentions comprehensive testing, the critical async/await issue suggests the real pre-push hook may not have been executed with the cleanup paths, as the async operations would cause runtime errors. Recommend testing the actual hook execution path with evidence cleanup scenarios.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pre-push workflow now captures updates as temporary evidence, validates and resolves that evidence through signing-core APIs, and shares it with outgoing verification and low-end checks. Tests cover ref types, failure paths, file handling, and large payloads. README metrics now show 6,959+ tests.

Changes

Pre-push evidence pipeline

Layer / File(s) Summary
Evidence contracts and resolution
scripts/signing/signing-core.d.mts, scripts/signing/signing-core.mjs
Adds evidence types and APIs for normalization, serialization, file I/O, ref resolution, and structured fail-closed verification results.
Hook and verifier integration
scripts/hooks/pre-push.mjs, scripts/signing/verify-outgoing.mjs, scripts/ci-prepush-lowend.mjs
The hook writes temporary evidence and passes it to both checks. Verification runs before the low-end check, and cleanup failures affect the exit status.
Evidence behavior validation
tests/unit/signing.test.ts
Tests cover normalization, branches, new refs, deletions, tags, failure handling, permissions, malformed files, cleanup, and large artifacts.

README test metrics

Layer / File(s) Summary
Updated test counts
README.md
Updates four README references from 6,954+ to 6,959+ tests.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5636f

The pre-push evidence refactor can lose previously collected verification details when a later verification step throws, reducing diagnostic clarity while still failing the check. This is a bounded follow-up risk that warrants owner awareness but does not indicate a merge-blocking correctness or availability issue.

226-233: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add coverage for the exclusive-create guarantee of writePrePushEvidenceFile.

writePrePushEvidenceFile uses flag: 'wx'. That flag is the guard against writing into a pre-existing file or an attacker-placed symlink. Line 232 uses raw writeFileSync with flag: 'w', so no test exercises the exclusivity. Add one assertion for a second write to the same path.

💚 Proposed test addition
       writePrePushEvidenceFile(file, [line]);
       expect(statSync(file).mode & 0o777).toBe(0o600);
+      expect(() => writePrePushEvidenceFile(file, [line])).toThrow();
       const serialized = readFileSync(file, 'utf8');
