From dbcff121843e74ca8045fcc03069b8bd35199240 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: vasilito Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2026 09:36:54 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] phase 4.2: implement general package-vs-config collision detection MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Per AGENTS.md § 'INSTALLER FILE LAYERING' / 'Collision Implications': - Layer 2 (Package staging) **overwrites Layer 1** for any matching paths. - This is the silent-collision class of bug: a config [[files]] entry writes to /path/X, but a package also stages /path/X during install_packages(). Last-writer-wins, the package wins, the operator's customization is gone — and the build succeeds. Phase 0 audit confirmed that AGENTS.md's promise of a CollisionTracker in src/cook/collision.rs was false (the file doesn't exist). Phase 4.2 implements the runtime collision detection at the build-system level (in pre-flight, not in installer source) so the silent-collision class surfaces before install_packages(). New file: local/scripts/verify-collision-detection.py - Parses every recipes///recipe.toml's [[package]].installs field — files the package WILL install at build time - Parses every config/redbear-*.toml's [[files]] entries - Reports collisions: exact-match + parent-directory-prefix - Exempts known-safe overrides (per AGENTS.md 'Init Service File Ownership'): /etc/init.d/*, /etc/environment.d/* Initial result (2026-07-12): - 68 recipe installs surveyed - 165 config [[files]] entries surveyed - 0 collisions Wired into local/scripts/build-preflight.sh via: - Default: report-only - --strict: exit 1 on collision (for CI) - REDBEAR_SKIP_COLLISION_CHECK=1: bypass entirely Updated local/docs/COLLISION-DETECTION-STATUS.md with: - Phase 4.2 implementation summary - How the algorithm works - What it does NOT cover (runtime conflicts, patch-induced, dynamic generation) - Recovery options --- local/docs/COLLISION-DETECTION-STATUS.md | 177 +++++++++--------- local/scripts/build-preflight.sh | 15 ++ local/scripts/verify-collision-detection.py | 190 ++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 285 insertions(+), 97 deletions(-) create mode 100755 local/scripts/verify-collision-detection.py diff --git a/local/docs/COLLISION-DETECTION-STATUS.md b/local/docs/COLLISION-DETECTION-STATUS.md index 6623055560..a4f14c7a8f 100644 --- a/local/docs/COLLISION-DETECTION-STATUS.md +++ b/local/docs/COLLISION-DETECTION-STATUS.md @@ -1,100 +1,83 @@ -# Collision Detection — Status - -**Generated:** 2026-07-12 (Phase 0 fix for G9) -**Status:** init-service path detection WORKS; runtime package-vs-config collision detection is NON-FUNCTIONAL. - -## Background - -The installer fork (`local/sources/installer/`) was originally described in -`local/AGENTS.md` and `AGENTS.md` (root) as including a `CollisionTracker` -module that detects when package staging overwrites config pre-install files -during `install_dir()`.
