Integration (answers 'does it run automatically'):
- redbear-ci.yml now runs test-versioning-machinery.sh (33 cases) and
verify-external-source-versions.sh on every push/PR; trigger widened to
0.3.* so a release-branch increment keeps CI (and these checks) firing.
- The validator already runs in build-preflight.sh Phase 1.0C (every build),
and bump-graphics-recipes.sh (invoked by bump-release.sh --with-external)
now calls the sync engine — so an external bump propagates + is validated.
Engine hardening (both regression-tested):
- reconcile_blake3: a vendored bump often left recipe blake3 stale (URL bumped,
hash not); the engine now sets recipe blake3 to the authoritative source.tar
hash (only when source.tar version matches the URL version; no-op under --check).
- transient recipes (no vendored source/) now get their stale cached source.tar
bumped to the declared version too, instead of being skipped.
Edge-case suite (local/scripts/test-versioning-machinery.sh, 27 cases, zero
network via file:// tarballs) covering the validator and the sync engine.
It found and fixed three silent-failure bugs — the exact class the user flagged:
- sync engine used 'rsync -a --delete' (size+mtime quick-check): a changed file
of identical size with a coincidental mtime was skipped, leaving stale content
in source/. Now uses --checksum (content comparison).
- apply_patch relied on patch's default fuzz: a patch whose context no longer
matched the new upstream was force-fitted instead of rejected. Now --fuzz=0
(exact context; line offsets still allowed).
- decorrupt collapsed ANY run of identical lines, mangling legitimate paired
lines; now only collapses the corruption pattern (runs >=4).
Also: unknown-version recipes are skipped (never clobber a ported tree like
mesa), and grep patterns use [[:space:]] for portability.
Root cause of the Qt 6.11.0/6.11.1 and KDE 6.10.0/6.28.0 divergences: a version
bump rewrote recipe tar=/blake3= but never propagated into the vendored source/
tree (the actual build input), and nothing caught the resulting drift.
Adds the missing pieces (see local/docs/VERSIONING.md):
- sync-recipe-source.sh: propagation engine — rebases a vendored source/ onto
the recipe's declared version (pristine + patches + captured baked delta),
with baked-shim preservation and corruption drop; reports patches/shims that
need a manual rebase instead of applying with fuzz.
- verify-external-source-versions.sh: preflight gate (build-preflight.sh Phase
1.0C, REDBEAR_SKIP_EXTERNAL_SOURCE_CHECK) that fails loudly on recipe-vs-
source-vs-tarball version divergence — the tar-recipe analogue of
verify-fork-functions.sh.
- bump-graphics-recipes.sh: now calls the sync engine after a bump, so a bump
can never again silently no-op on a vendored recipe.
- source/.redbear-src-version stamp; seeded for the corrected qt modules.
