Refuse a baseline line that does not parse, instead of skipping it - #78
Merged
Conversation
`load_size_baseline` dropped any line it could not read: no space before the count, a count that is not a number, and it said nothing about either. That is the sibling of a refusal already sitting a few lines below it in `size_failures` -- "an unreadable file is not a short file" -- and an unreadable ENTRY is not an absent one either. WHY THE SKIP IS WORSE THAN SKIPPING A FILE. A size baseline is a ratchet: a file held at 8 lines under a limit of 10 may not grow to 9. Drop the entry and the file is checked against the LIMIT instead, so it may now grow to 10, and the ratchet the author wrote is gone with nothing reported. Reproduced before this was written, on one tree: src/big.py 8 growing the file to 9 fails, "baseline 8; must not grow" src/big.py 8x the same tree passes The staleness check cannot cover it, and that is the part worth saying. A dropped entry is never in the map, so it is not "listed", and the mechanism that exists to notice a baseline which stopped describing the tree is blind to one that never loaded at all. Both halves now refuse at exit 2 -- the tool could not read its own configuration, which is what 2 is for -- naming the file, the line number and the line, because a reader holding "a baseline entry is malformed" and not which one has been told a fact they cannot act on. The path baseline gains the matching refusal for a signature with no path before it: it reads as an entry and excuses nothing. Neither fires on the two baseline files in the surveyed workspace; both still load and both ratchets still hold. 556 tests pass, clippy and fmt clean.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughBaseline loaders now reject malformed path and size entries with fatal, line-specific diagnostics. CLI tests cover missing paths, missing counts, and nonnumeric counts. ChangesBaseline validation
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Malformed baseline entries with a missing path may still avoid the intended error and diagnostic, weakening configuration validation. The risk is localized and the PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to preserve the missing-path check and add coverage. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Keep the size-baseline missing-path contract reachable. The parser trims away the only evidence of a missing path before it validates the path. The CLI test does not exercise that input.

A `[[shim]]` named one `text_flags` for a whole command, and a command's flags do not all mean one thing. On `gh`, `-c` is a boolean on `pr review` and takes a value on `issue close`; naming it once for the table reads one of the two wrong, and either way the mistake is a false negative in the seam that exists to prevent one. `[[shim.verbs]]` lets the verbs whose grammar differs say so. The entry's lists replace the table's for those verbs rather than adding to them -- the rule `allowed_scripts` already follows, because a union would mean a vocabulary nobody wrote. `target_flags` stays table-wide: a per-verb answer to which repository something is going to would be a way to publish somewhere the table did not expect. Also in this release, from #76 and #78: a baseline entry may be signed `path | owner | reason` and required to be, and a baseline line that does not parse is refused rather than skipped -- the skip removed a ratchet silently, and the staleness check could not see it because a dropped entry was never listed. #79 refuses two shim tables naming one command, which used to drop one of them. TAKING IT. Nothing existing changes shape: a policy written for 1.7.0 resolves to exactly the rules it resolved to before, and no default changed. But a policy that USES `[[shim.verbs]]` cannot be read by an older binary, and the installed binary is the shim -- so a tree whose policy adopts the field before its shims are reinstalled has every git command failing closed. Bump the pin, reinstall, then adopt. Documented pins move to v1.8.0 in README.md and hooks/lefthook.yml.

load_size_baselinedropped any line it could not read -- no space before the count, or a count that is not a number -- and said nothing about either. That is the sibling of a refusal already sitting a few lines below it insize_failures: "an unreadable file is not a short file." An unreadable entry is not an absent one either.Why skipping an entry is worse than skipping a file
A size baseline is a ratchet: a file held at 8 lines under a limit of 10 may not grow to 9. Drop the entry and the file is checked against the limit instead, so it may now grow to 10 -- the ratchet is gone and nothing reports it.
Reproduced on one tree before this was written:
src/big.py 89 lines (baseline 8; must not grow)src/big.py 8xOne character.
The part worth saying: staleness cannot cover this

Blast radius
The two baseline files in the surveyed workspace still load, and both ratchets still hold. Neither refusal fires.
