feat(signing): add opt-in isolated-worktree exact-tree typecheck verification (S3b Part 2b)

[qnbs]

User description

Summary

Part 2b of the S3b reconstruction slice (follows #501 Part 1, #502 Part 2a). Closes the remaining gap identified in the program's design doc: ci-prepush-lowend.mjs's local checks (docs/CSP/i18n/content-guard/tsgo) all run against whatever is currently on disk — there was previously zero signal anywhere in the architecture about whether that corresponds to the exact committed tree about to be pushed. Required CI remains the sole merge-safety authority regardless; this closes a local-gate trust/DX gap, not a safety hole.

New scripts/verify-exact-tree.mjs, pnpm run verify:exact-tree [ref...] (default HEAD): proves the exact committed tree of a ref typechecks in full isolation from the live checkout, materializing a real, trustworthy dependency environment rather than borrowing anything from the working directory.

Design (superseded twice during review — this section describes the final, shipped architecture)

The original plan anticipated this being tightly wired into the same push-evidence pipeline as Part 1/2a with a sidecar evidence-file transport; a first PR revision moved to an opt-in standalone command that symlinked the real checkout's node_modules into the isolated worktree, gated on Part 2a's dependencyState === 'MATCHES'. Both the plan's original framing and that first symlink design are now retired. The reasons, in order:

1. Opt-in standalone command, not wired into ci:prepush. Unchanged from the first revision. An isolated worktree + a real tsgo compile is materially more expensive than the working-tree typecheck this repo already runs by default; CLAUDE.md's CI-cloud-first, low-end-hardware philosophy argues against silently making every push slower. Mirrors the existing --full opt-in-escalation pattern.
2. Real pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --offline --ignore-scripts --ignore-pnpmfile inside the isolated worktree, not a node_modules symlink. Review found the symlink design unsound, not just theoretically: pnpm workspace-package symlinks (node_modules/@domain/<pkg>) are relative, so symlinking the whole directory transitively resolved back into the live, possibly-uncommitted packages/* — confirmed via readlink -f. A deeper leak was also found nested at node_modules/.pnpm/node_modules/@domain/.... A real install reconstructs pnpm's own actual link graph (root, package-local, and transitive workspace links) — structurally correct for every link class, not just the ones one review round happened to find. --offline never reaches the network (a package absent from the local store fails the install, mapped to UNKNOWN); --ignore-scripts and --ignore-pnpmfile block both of pnpm's separate arbitrary-code-execution paths (package.json lifecycle scripts and pnpm's own .pnpmfile.cjs hook mechanism); COREPACK_ENABLE_NETWORK=0 closes a real gap specific to this dev environment, where pnpm itself resolves through a Corepack shim that could otherwise reach the network before pnpm's own --offline applies. Verified empirically end-to-end against this actual repository (real commit, real isolated worktree, real frozen-lockfile offline install, real tsgo) — currently ~2 minutes on this hardware, acceptable specifically because this command is opt-in.
3. The Part 2a dependencyState === 'MATCHES' precondition from the first revision is removed, not preserved. It only ever existed to guard the symlink design's soundness (borrowing the live checkout's node_modules was only valid when known to match localSha's manifests). A real --frozen-lockfile install reads localSha's own committed lockfile directly and borrows nothing from the live checkout, so the precondition has nothing left to guard. feat(signing): add exact-localSha dependency-manifest compatibility proof (S3b Part 2a) #502's dependencyState remains the sole, unchanged authority for its own distinct question; this command now answers a different question directly instead of via a borrowed proxy signal.
4. Refuses to materialize any commit that tracks a node_modules path, before touching disk. A later review round found that the real-install fix alone still trusted whatever the checkout produced — an arbitrary ref could force-track content under node_modules (e.g. a committed node_modules/.bin/tsgo) even under .gitignore, and the isolated run would then execute that attacker-controlled binary as "the compiler," or a tracked node_modules symlink could redirect pnpm's writes outside the worktree. Before creating the worktree at all, the tool now lists the target commit's own git tree (reusing dependency-state.mjs's listTreeFiles, now exported for this reuse rather than duplicated) and reports UNKNOWN — refusing verification — if any tracked path anywhere (root, nested, or a node_modules entry that is itself a tracked symlink) contains a node_modules path component.
5. Disables Git hooks while creating the isolated worktree. git worktree add runs post-checkout; this repo ships a graphify:hooks post-checkout integration that runs heavyweight mutation (graphify update .), and any other configured hook is an equally unwanted interference with "prove the exact committed tree typechecks." createIsolatedWorktree now scopes core.hooksPath to a temporary empty directory for that one invocation only (git -c core.hooksPath=<dir> worktree add ...), never touching the user's real Git config, cleaned up immediately after the call regardless of outcome.
6. Explicit tsgo timeout raised from 3 to 6 minutes. The isolated single-checker run was measured at ~56s alone on this hardware, but the repo separately documents ~300s for the full multi-checker pnpm run typecheck; 6 minutes clears both figures with real margin rather than cutting off close to either one.
7. New, distinct state vocabulary: PASS | FAIL | NOT_APPLICABLE | UNKNOWN, not a reuse of MATCHES | DIVERGED. workingTreeState/dependencyState are comparison diagnostics (does X match Y); this is an absolute check (is localSha's code internally valid, materialized from a trustworthy environment) — forcing it into the comparison vocabulary would be inaccurate. Same 4-value shape and aggregation-precedence idea, via a small local aggregateExactTreeState (kept separate from aggregateDiagnosticState rather than generalizing a shared helper for two calls' worth of reuse).
8. No new evidence-transport mechanism. Still true after every revision: localSha is already present on every PushEvidenceUpdate since fix(devops): replace pre-push evidence handoff #494, and tsgo --noEmit type-checks the whole tsconfig.tsgo.json project scope unconditionally — it takes no file list. Zero new env-var, argv, or file-based transport.
9. Multi-ref handling: dedupe and aggregate-all, not fail-fast. As an explicit non-blocking opt-in diagnostic, fail-fast would hide information about other refs in the same invocation for no benefit. Dedupe by localSha, run all unique SHAs sequentially (never parallel — hardware constraint), aggregate via the same worst-state-wins precedence idea as every other diagnostic dimension in this program.

Fail-closed lifecycle

Reuses #500's runBounded/runLocalBinaryDetailed exclusively for every spawned command (worktree add/remove/prune, the pnpm install, tsgo) — no raw spawnSync for anything new (resolveRef is the one deliberate exception, documented in-code: it needs to capture stdout synchronously, which runBounded structurally cannot do, so it reuses signing-core.mjs's pre-existing, already-bounded runGit instead of a new process-runner authority). The tracked-node_modules check runs first and can refuse before any worktree is even created. Proactive git worktree prune before creating one (sweeps entries orphaned by a prior crashed run). try { verify } finally { remove }, including the temporary hooks directory, which is created and torn down around the single git worktree add call regardless of its outcome. git worktree remove --force first; rm -rf + git worktree prune fallback on failure; the leftover empty mkdtemp-created directory is swept even after a successful git worktree remove (git otherwise leaves it in place). Isolated trees live under os.tmpdir(), never inside the project's own long-lived .worktrees/.

Files (7)

• scripts/verify-exact-tree.mjs (new) / scripts/verify-exact-tree.d.mts (new) — self-contained.
• scripts/dependency-state.mjs / scripts/dependency-state.d.mts — one small, additive-only touch: the existing internal git-tree listing helper is renamed and exported as listTreeFiles so this PR can reuse it instead of writing a second parser. No behavior change to any already-shipped Part 1/2a function; dependencyFilesFromRef calls the same logic under its new name.
• package.json — verify:exact-tree script; test:node now runs with --test-concurrency=1 so this suite's git/pnpm/worktree fixtures (and dependency-state.test.mjs's own git fixtures) never overlap on constrained hardware.
• CLAUDE.md — documents the shipped command and its deliberate non-default wiring.
• tests/unit/tooling/verify-exact-tree.test.mjs (new, node:test, 31 tests) — real git worktree + real tsgo/pnpm install runs against fixtures (workspace-link soundness proven via direct content comparison against a deliberately live-mutated checkout; a real post-checkout hook proven not to fire; a real side-effecting .pnpmfile.cjs proven not to execute even at require time; three tracked-node_modules forms each proven refused via a call-count spy showing materialization never starts, not just via the final UNKNOWN state), plus DI-based fail-closed-lifecycle, precondition, dedup, and aggregation coverage.

Test plan

• node --test --test-concurrency=1 tests/unit/tooling/verify-exact-tree.test.mjs — 31/31 passing
• node --test --test-concurrency=1 tests/unit/tooling/dependency-state.test.mjs tests/unit/tooling/verify-exact-tree.test.mjs — 46/46 passing (no regressions)
• pnpm run typecheck (4-checker, CI-exact) — clean
• pnpm run lint — clean
• pnpm run ci:prepush — full local admission PASS
• pnpm run signing:doctor — signing config verified before push
• QNBS-v3 one-line comment self-check — clean
• Real end-to-end smoke test against this repo's own HEAD (isolated worktree, hooks disabled, real frozen-lockfile offline install, real tsgo) — PASS, ~2 minutes, cleanup verified (no leftover worktree registration, no leftover temp directory)

CodeAnt-AI Description

Verify that an exact commit typechecks independently of the current working tree

What Changed

• Added an opt-in verify:exact-tree command that checks HEAD or specified commits in isolated worktrees using the repository’s typechecker
• Reports PASS, FAIL, UNKNOWN, or NOT_APPLICABLE without blocking pushes; dependency mismatches, setup failures, and interrupted checks are reported as UNKNOWN
• Handles multiple commits sequentially, removes duplicate revisions, aggregates results, and cleans up stale or failed worktrees
• Added coverage for successful checks, genuine type errors, dependency mismatches, cleanup failures, duplicate revisions, and result aggregation

Impact

✅ Detects type errors in the exact commit being verified
✅ Fewer misleading local typecheck results from uncommitted files
✅ Safer cleanup after interrupted verification runs

[amazon-q-developer]

This PR adds opt-in isolated-worktree exact-tree typecheck verification as documented in the design summary. The implementation correctly follows fail-closed semantics, has proper dependency injection for testing, and includes comprehensive test coverage with real git worktree operations.

The code is well-structured with:

• Proper error boundaries that return UNKNOWN instead of throwing
• Sequential execution to respect hardware constraints
• Cleanup via finally blocks and fallback removal paths
• Thorough unit tests including end-to-end verification with actual tsgo runs

No blocking defects found. The implementation matches the stated design goals and maintains the existing architectural patterns (reuses runBounded/runLocalBinaryDetailed, follows the diagnostic-state vocabulary pattern, integrates cleanly with dependency-state.mjs).

Ready for merge once CI passes.

**issue (bug_risk):** The new CLI resolves refs with an unbounded synchronous `spawnSync('git', ...)`, so a blocked or pathological Git/filesystem operation stalls the entire Node process and cannot be terminated through the bounded subprocess lifecycle used for the worktree and `tsgo` steps.

**Triggers:** When Git is blocked on repository or filesystem I/O while resolving a supplied ref.

**Suggested fix:** Resolve refs through the existing bounded Git runner, or at least provide the same timeout and interruption handling as the other Git operations.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds the opt-in verify:exact-tree command and APIs to typecheck exact Git commits in isolated worktrees. The command validates tracked files and symlinks, installs dependencies offline, uses trusted tooling, classifies results, handles interruptions, and cleans up temporary worktrees.

Changes

Exact-tree verification

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Public contract and command wiring scripts/dependency-state.*, scripts/verify-exact-tree.d.mts, package.json, CLAUDE.md, .github/workflows/ci.yml, biome.json, .gitignore	Adds mode-aware Git tree entries, blob reading, dependency-injection contracts, exported verification APIs, package scripts, documentation, CI execution, test configuration, and fixture-path ignores.
Isolated single-SHA typecheck lifecycle scripts/verify-exact-tree.mjs, tests/unit/tooling/verify-exact-tree.test.mjs	Rejects tracked node_modules and escaping symlinks, creates isolated worktrees with hooks disabled, installs trusted frozen offline dependencies, runs the trusted tsgo, handles interruptions, maps outcomes to PASS, FAIL, or UNKNOWN, and tests these paths.
Batch aggregation and CLI reporting scripts/verify-exact-tree.mjs, tests/unit/tooling/verify-exact-tree.test.mjs	Resolves refs, deduplicates SHAs, processes checks sequentially, aggregates results, reports diagnostics, and sets exit code 130 for interruptions. Tests cover CLI inputs, output, aggregation, and failures.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f796b

The PR adds an opt-in isolated exact-tree typecheck that improves validation of committed code, but the current implementation still has open issues that can produce false UNKNOWN results, bypass the tracked-dependency safety check on some filesystems, or fail at supported injected-call paths; one test can also pass without proving dependency links were materialized. Merge should wait for these bounded correctness and verification issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted by the owner.

If typechecking does not require postinstall artifacts, add --ignore-scripts. The repository sets ignoreScripts: false, so lifecycle scripts from the arbitrary ref can run during installation. Confirm that tsgo and the dependencies still resolve without lifecycle scripts.

Quote the test glob for consistent shell behavior.

Node 22 supports glob expansion for node --test. Quoting the pattern ensures Node applies that expansion instead of the invoking shell.

Declare the forwarded third argument of computeDependencyState.

scripts/verify-exact-tree.mjs (Line 232) calls computeState(sha, absoluteRepoRoot, dependencies). The declared type accepts only two parameters, so an injected implementation cannot type-safely read the forwarded dependency bag that the default computeDependencyState in scripts/dependency-state.mjs consumes.

Split this test file and share the fixture-repository setup.

The file is now above 1000 lines. The coding guidelines target 200 to 700 lines per file and require splitting larger files. The five fixture builders also repeat the same git init plus user.email, user.name, add -A, and commit sequence.

Extract one initFixtureRepo(root) helper for the shared Git bootstrap, and split the suites into separate files by concern, for example preflight, install containment, typecheck lifecycle, interruption, and CLI.

As per coding guidelines: "Target files between 200 and 700 lines; split files over 700 lines into hooks, subcomponents, selectors, or tests rather than using comment-only sections." and "Apply DRY: place reusable logic in services, hooks, or feature thunks instead of duplicating it in views."

Terminal disposition: STOP_AND_SPLIT / DEFERRED_BY_ARCHITECTURE

This PR is being closed without merging. This is a deliberate architectural decision, not an abandonment of the work — the review process here has been genuinely successful at what it was for: it found a real, fundamental boundary this design cannot cross without becoming a different kind of system.

What this PR delivered (real, verified findings)

Across several review epochs, this branch discovered and empirically fixed a long chain of real execution/containment gaps in the isolated-worktree exact-tree verification design:

• live-workspace leakage from the original node_modules symlink-reuse design (replaced with a real, isolated pnpm install)
• lifecycle-script execution (--ignore-scripts) and .pnpmfile.cjs execution (--ignore-pnpmfile, including on the pnpm store path query itself, which has no such flag and needed a neutral-directory workaround)
• Corepack network escape (COREPACK_ENABLE_NETWORK=0)
• trusted-compiler provenance (only invoking tsgo once #502's dependencyState proves manifest equality with the trusted checkout)
• pnpm output-path containment (--modules-dir, --virtual-store-dir, --lockfile-dir, --store-dir, all pinned against a target-controlled .npmrc)
• Git hook suppression (core.hooksPath) and Git filter suppression across global, system, and local config scope (.gitattributes-driven smudge/clean/process filters, including Git LFS-style setups)
• tracked node_modules rejection (case-insensitive, any depth)
• tracked symlink escape rejection (POSIX and Windows-style backslash/drive-letter/UNC targets)
• gitlink/submodule rejection (unmaterialized by git worktree add)
• refs/replace/* neutralization (GIT_NO_REPLACE_OBJECTS=1)
• interrupt propagation through every lifecycle step, including worktree pruning and cleanup
• explicit, measured timeouts; sequential node:test tooling-suite admission into routine CI
• a partial mitigation for target-controlled tsconfig.tsgo.json (noCheck, tsBuildInfoFile, escaping include/exclude/files/extends)

All of this is real, adversarially tested (each fix has a corresponding real-fixture regression, not just a mock), and preserved on this branch as evidence.

Why it is not being merged

The remaining findings are no longer ordinary verifier defects. They demonstrate that a strong hostile-ref "exact-tree PASS" contract requires hermetic compiler execution / filesystem confinement, or a deliberately narrower semantic contract. That is a separate architecture capability and is out of proportion to the original non-blocking local-DX objective.

Concretely: an isolated Git worktree solves working-tree contamination, but it is not an OS-level filesystem/process sandbox. A checked ref's own tsconfig.tsgo.json can still direct the trusted compiler to read or write paths outside the worktree (absolute/escaping include/extends, absolute imports inside source content, arbitrary tsBuildInfoFile targets) in ways no amount of Git-level or CLI-flag-level hardening fully closes. Every review epoch on this PR found one more instance of the same underlying class — that convergence pattern (root-clustered fix → fresh review → new instance of the same root class) is itself the signal that the boundary is architectural, not incremental.

Program disposition

S3b Part 2b (this PR) = DEFERRED_BY_ARCHITECTURE / STOP_AND_SPLIT
PR #503 = evidence/reference only, not a merge candidate
Required GitHub CI remains the merge-safety authority for this repository

Part 1 (#501) and Part 2a (#502) remain shipped, useful, unrelated diagnostics — they are unaffected by this decision and are not being revisited.

The remaining findings and the architecture question they raise are being carried forward into #504 rather than continuing to expand this PR's scope indefinitely.

This branch is being preserved (not deleted) as a reference for that future work.

Inspect every effective filter assignment before checkout

When a target .gitattributes assigns filter more than once on a matching line, such as *.ts filter=unused filter=evil, Git uses the final value but this line.match records only the first. With evil configured locally, I reproduced Git 2.43 reporting filter: evil via git check-attr and executing its smudge command during this exact worktree add, so an arbitrary ref can still trigger configured code before verification. Fresh evidence beyond the earlier repository-local-filter finding is this newly added parser's first-match behavior; inspect every effective assignment or make checkout filters impossible.

Reject array-form escaping extends paths

When tsconfig.tsgo.json uses the supported array form extends: ["/tmp/base.json"], this scanner ignores it because it accepts only a string. I reproduced the trusted tsgo following such an entry and reporting diagnostics from an external source included by that base config, so PASS or FAIL can still depend on live files outside the committed worktree. Fresh evidence beyond the earlier external-path finding is that the new mitigation handles only the scalar form; validate every array entry and recursively validate extended configurations.

Disable inherited sparse checkout for the worktree

When the trusted checkout uses sparse checkout, this linked worktree inherits its sparse patterns, so tracked source directories outside the sparse cone are never materialized. I reproduced this with Git 2.43: worktree add --detach checked out only the selected directory, while root manifests remained available; dependency installation can therefore succeed and tsgo can report PASS after silently omitting erroneous committed sources. Disable sparse checkout for this invocation or verify that every relevant tree entry was materialized before certifying the result.

Disable lazy object fetching during offline verification

When the repository is a partial clone and the selected commit has a missing blob, this preflight git show transparently contacts the configured promisor remote to retrieve it; worktree add can fetch further missing blobs afterward. I reproduced the call starting an upload-pack exchange and increasing the local pack object count, so the supposedly offline verifier can disclose activity, access the network, or stall on an unavailable remote before reaching the protected pnpm invocation. Fresh evidence beyond the earlier Corepack networking findings is that this is Git's independent lazy-fetch path; disable lazy fetching for every Git subprocess and return UNKNOWN when an object is absent locally.

Limit pruning to verifier-owned worktrees

When the repository has another linked worktree whose path is temporarily unavailable and old enough for gc.worktreePruneExpire—or the user configures that value as now—every verification starts by deleting that worktree's administrative record. I reproduced this by removing a linked worktree directory, setting the expiry to now, and observing this command remove its .git/worktrees entry; if a removable or network-backed path later returns, its .git file points to metadata that no longer exists. This helper claims to clean prior verifier runs, but the command is repository-wide, so track and remove verifier-owned paths instead of pruning unrelated worktrees.
