Closes #783. Closes #779.

Summary

  • untracked_files reads ls-files without -z, so a non-ASCII untracked path comes back C-quoted — the rollback safety-net snapshot then fails its own git add and halts the run #783: read untracked paths verbatim, NUL-delimited. untracked_files used to read ls-files --others line by line and strip each record. Under the default core.quotePath that gave git's C-quoted spelling of every non-ASCII or newline-bearing name, and the strip removed leading and trailing spaces. snapshot_worktree's git add -- then failed on a path that did not exist, the rollback refused, and the cleanup plan got the wrong names. The reader now uses ls-files -z through git_bytes, the chokepoint's binary accessor. It splits on NUL, strips nothing, and never turns stderr into a record (verify._git merges stderr into stdout for every caller, so a git that warns at rc 0 corrupts every output-reading probe #442). Each record is decoded strictly with the filesystem codec. A record that cannot be decoded keeps the quoted token, which matches what the default config returned before.
  • Compatibility with persisted runs. A run saved before this fix holds quoted or stripped records in baseline_untracked. The rollback-side consumers (snapshot_worktree, _rollback_cleanup_plan, attempt_dirty) now go through _created_untracked. It also counts a path as baseline when any of its pre-fix spellings is in the baseline, so resuming such a run does not delete pre-existing files. A spurious match can only spare a file. The proof-of-work gate keeps the exact difference and fails open toward "work happened".
  • capture_diff reads the same way. It still listed untracked files with the line-based read. A quoted name made git diff --no-index exit 1 with empty stdout, which the loop accepts as "the files differ", so the file was silently left out of the failed-unit forensic patch. It now iterates sorted(untracked_files(repo)).
  • [BUG] post_story declarative hooks never run: cwd is the worktree that unit-merged just deleted #779: post_story hooks run from the repo root after worktree teardown. post_story fires after _run_isolated has merged the unit and removed its worktree, but the bus still used ctx.worktree as the declarative hook's cwd. subprocess.run raised FileNotFoundError before the shell started, so the hook never ran and the journal recorded plugin-hook-error. For post_story only, a worktree that no longer exists now falls back to ctx.repo_root. Every other stage keeps its cwd and its fail-closed behavior. The hook context and BMAD_LOOP_WORKTREE still carry the original path.
  • diagnose counts hook errors. The plugin-errors total counted only plugin-error, so a run with plugin-hook-error entries reported 0 plugin errors. Both kinds now count.

Notes for reviewers

  • The diagnose --json field plugin_error_count can now report a higher value for the same journal, because plugin-hook-error entries are included. The schema is unchanged.
  • One residual case remains in both readers: a name the filesystem codec cannot decode arrives as git's quoted token. capture_diff still leaves that file out, because --no-index cannot open that spelling. untracked_files reads ls-files without -z, so a non-ASCII untracked path comes back C-quoted — the rollback safety-net snapshot then fails its own git add and halts the run #783 already left this case open. Raising on it would fail every baseline capture in a repo holding one such file.
  • The regression tests (test_capture_diff_includes_verbatim_named_untracked, 4 params, and test_summarize_journal_counts_plugin_hook_errors) were ablation-checked: they fail with the fix reverted.
  • Gate at this layer: 10868 passed, 82 skipped; pyright 0 errors; trunk check clean.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of untracked filenames containing non-ASCII characters, spaces, or newlines during snapshots, rollbacks, cleanup, and diff capture.
    • Fixed declarative post_story hooks running successfully from the repository root after worktree removal.

`untracked_files` read `ls-files --others` line by line and stripped each
record. Under the default core.quotePath that yields git's C-quoted spelling
of every non-ASCII (and newline-bearing) name and eats leading/trailing
spaces, so `snapshot_worktree`'s `git add --` failed on a non-path, the
rollback refused, and the cleanup plan got the wrong names.

Now `ls-files -z` through `git_bytes` (the chokepoint's binary accessor):
split on NUL, no strip, stderr never becomes a record (#442). Bytes rather
than text mode because text mode's universal-newline read rewrites a `\r`
in a name to `\n`.

Decoding, as found: `_run_git` text mode decodes with the locale codec,
strict, and translates UnicodeDecodeError into GitError (#377). But under
the default quotePath git never emitted a raw high byte to this reader, so
an invalid-UTF-8 name used to come back as its quoted token, not a
GitError; only quotePath=false hosts got the GitError. Each record is now
decoded strictly with the filesystem codec, and an undecodable one keeps
the default-config answer (the quoted token, via `_c_quote_path`), which is
inert and self-consistent across baseline and later reads. Raising instead
would fail every baseline capture in a repo holding one such stray;
surrogateescape would leak surrogates into state/journal JSON.

Compatibility: a run persisted before this fix holds quoted/stripped
records in `baseline_untracked`; an exact difference would make those
pre-existing files deletion targets on resume. The rollback-side consumers
(`snapshot_worktree`, `_rollback_cleanup_plan`, `attempt_dirty`) now go
through `_created_untracked`, which also treats a path as baseline when any
of its pre-fix spellings (git's quoting under either quotePath setting,
split and stripped as the old reader did) is in the baseline. Spurious
matches only spare a file. The proof-of-work gate keeps the exact
difference: it fails open toward "work happened".
…teardown (#779)

post_story fires after _run_isolated has merged the unit and removed its
worktree, but the bus still chose ctx.worktree as the declarative hook's
cwd. subprocess.run raised FileNotFoundError before the shell started, so
the journal logged plugin-hook-error and the hook never ran.

For post_story alone, a worktree that no longer exists falls back to
ctx.repo_root. Every other stage keeps its cwd, and with it the error and
fail-closed semantics, since the project root is the wrong tree mid-story.
The context and BMAD_LOOP_WORKTREE keep the original path so a hook can
still tell which unit it was. In-process Python hooks get no cwd from the
bus and are unchanged.
…unt hook errors in diagnose (#783, #779)

capture_diff still listed untracked files with the line-based `ls-files`
read that #783 replaced in untracked_files. Under core.quotePath a
non-ASCII name came back C-quoted (and `.strip()` ate edge spaces); `git
diff --no-index` could not open that spelling and exited 1 with empty
stdout, the code the loop tolerates as "the files differ", so the file was
silently left out of the failed-unit forensic patch. The leg now iterates
`sorted(untracked_files(repo))`, which also carries the #442 stdout-alone
read. A name the filesystem codec cannot decode still arrives as the quoted
token and stays omitted, the same residual #783 left.

diagnose's plugin-errors total counted only `plugin-error`, so a run whose
hook bus journaled `plugin-hook-error` summarized as 0 plugin errors beside
a histogram showing plugin-hook-error=1. Both kinds now count.

Walkthrough

The PR fixes untracked-path handling, post-story hook execution after worktree removal, and plugin error totals. It adds documentation, changelog entries, and regression tests for these behaviors.

Changes

Verification and hook behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Verbatim untracked-file handling
src/bmad_loop/verify.py, tests/test_verify.py
Untracked paths use NUL-delimited byte reads, filesystem decoding, and quoted fallback handling. Snapshot, rollback, cleanup, and diff operations use the updated path logic.
Post-story hook execution
src/bmad_loop/plugins/bus.py, tests/test_hook_bus.py, tests/test_engine_worktree.py, docs/plugin-authoring-guide.md
Removed-worktree post_story hooks run from repo_root. Live worktrees and other hook stages retain their existing working-directory behavior.
Plugin error diagnostics
src/bmad_loop/diagnostics.py, tests/test_diagnostics.py, CHANGELOG.md
plugin_error_count includes both plugin error journal kinds. Tests and changelog entries document the fixes.

The code is mergeable, but the post-story working-directory documentation should distinguish removed and live worktrees.

distinguish worktree states: when the worktree has been removed, the hook runs
from the repository root while BMAD_LOOP_WORKTREE retains its path; when it
still exists, the hook runs from that worktree.
