CARD TITLE (intent, not commit subject): Revise PR #285: the gate is documented but nothing invokes it (blocker 1 stands)

Autonomous build of board card tsk-25u425.

PR #285 shipped a gate script no workflow or test invoked, so a green result
was indistinguishable from never running (blocker 1). It also asserted
"exactly one" and patched service.py to satisfy that constant, inverting
the order of work and colliding with #283 (blocker 2). The counting logic
used iter_child_nodes plus FunctionDef only, missing async def, class
methods and nested defs, and read_text was unguarded (blocker 3). No
red-first proof was provided (blocker 4).

  • rewrote scripts/normalise_handle_gate.py to use ast.walk and match both
    FunctionDef and AsyncFunctionDef, so duplicates at any nesting depth are
    counted; added OSError handling on read, dropped the unused argparse
    import, added type annotations
  • changed the assertion to at most one (fail on count >= 2), so a clean
    master with zero definitions stays green and Promote _normalise_handle to one shared identity-slug helper (blocks #233 and #241) #283's single landing is not
    mandated from inside this card; service.py is left untouched
  • wired the gate into CI via .github/workflows/normalise-handle-gate.yml,
    mirroring deleted-symbols-gate.yml, and added tests/test_normalise_handle_gate
    .py (25 tests), collected by ci.yml's pytest run
  • added changelog.d/tsk-25u425-normalise-handle-gate-wiring.md

Red-first: the test module failed to import on master (ModuleNotFoundError:
no module named scripts.normalise_handle_gate) before the gate existed, then
passed all 25 tests after implementation. The old iter_child_nodes/FunctionDef
logic returned count 1 for the async, class-method and nested duplicate
shapes, while the new ast.walk logic returns 2 for all three. Full suite:
1426 passed, 12 skipped.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull-request adds an AST-based gate that detects duplicate _normalise_handle definitions under taosmd/. It includes unit and integration tests, a live-tree check, and GitHub Actions wiring.

Changes

Normalise handle gate

Layer / File(s) Summary
AST gate implementation
scripts/normalise_handle_gate.py
The script recursively detects synchronous and asynchronous _normalise_handle definitions, skips syntax-invalid files, warns for unreadable files, and exposes check and CLI entry points.
Gate behavior validation
tests/test_normalise_handle_gate.py
Tests cover AST extraction, nested definitions, directory scanning, duplicate detection, unreadable files, CLI output, exit codes, and the live repository tree.
Pull-request workflow wiring
.github/workflows/normalise-handle-gate.yml, changelog.d/tsk-25u425-normalise-handle-gate-wiring.md
The pull-request workflow installs Python 3.12 and project dependencies, then runs the gate. The changelog records the workflow and its tests.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 555bd

The PR adds a CI gate that can still fail on valid non-UTF-8 files, and its workflow retains repository credentials while running pull-request code, creating a bounded security and reliability risk. These issues should be fixed before merge.

Make the unreadable-file test independent of runner permissions.

chmod(0o000) does not prevent reads by privileged runners. In that environment, locked.py is counted and this test fails with 2 != 1. Mock Path.read_text to raise PermissionError for locked.py.

Review: BLOCKED on 2, but the card's own blocker is discharged

Reviewed on a trial merge of exec/tsk-25u425 with current master (a0fd7a8). Every clean verdict
below was proved on a known-bad input first; a clean result from an unproven probe is not evidence.

The card's blocker IS fixed, and I could measure it

tsk-25u425 carried exactly one blocker: the gate is documented but nothing invokes it. That is
genuinely discharged. I ran the workflow's exact command, both directions:

duplicate present in taosmd/service.py -> "FAIL: found 2 definitions" exit=1
duplicate removed                      -> "PASS: found 0 definition(s)" exit=0

Better than the synthetic case, it catches the real defect it was carded for. exec/tsk-aeu77i
and exec/tsk-fjy3o7 both define _normalise_handle in taosmd/service.py. Merged together they
produce exit 0, no conflict — and this gate then reports found 2, exit 1. That is the failure
mode nothing in CI could previously see.

.github/workflows/normalise-handle-gate.yml parses, triggers on pull_request, and a non-zero
exit fails the step. tests/test_normalise_handle_gate.py is collected by ci.yml's pytest tests/
(line 21). 25/25 pass. Full suite on the trial merge: 1426 passed, 12 skipped, 0 failed (146.93s), which matches the
number the PR body reports. Note what that means, since it is the second time today: a fully green
suite on the merged tree, with both defects below live on it.

The other three checks came back clean, and both controls fired, so the clean results mean something:

conflict markers   0 hits    CONTROL exec/tsk-uyznqh -> found its 3 markers in http_server.py
__all__ surface    265 = 265 CONTROL exec/tsk-uyznqh -> reproduced 265->261, named all 5 symbols

Blocker 1: the gate fires on @typing.overload, which is legitimate code

A single logical helper, typed the normal way, counts as 3 and fails the gate:

@typing.overload
def _normalise_handle(handle: str) -> str: ...
@typing.overload
def _normalise_handle(handle: None) -> None: ...
def _normalise_handle(handle): ...
-> NORMALISE_HANDLE GATE FAIL: found 3 definitions; at most 1 is allowed

ast.walk + isinstance(node, (FunctionDef, AsyncFunctionDef)) cannot tell an overload stub from a
rival copy. This is not a hypothetical preference: tsk-lomnt3 is open on this board and its
CONTROL 2 names this exact case, along with the reason it matters — "a @typing.overload pair
and a try/except ImportError fallback definition are LEGITIMATE duplicate defs. The check must not
fire on either, or it will be turned off within a day."

The try/except ImportError half already passes (counts 1, silent). Only the overload half is wrong.

Fix: skip any def whose decorator list contains overload/typing.overload. Keep both controls as
tests, since a duplicate-guard with no false-positive test is one bad week from being deleted.

Blocker 2: the docstring claims non-UTF-8 is handled. It is not, and it crashes

_count_definitions's docstring states that files with "non-UTF-8 bytes that raise on decode" are
"skipped with a warning rather than allowed to crash the gate". Measured against a file with
invalid UTF-8 under taosmd/:

CRASH: UnicodeDecodeError 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xff in position 2: invalid start byte
issubclass(UnicodeDecodeError, OSError) -> False
UnicodeDecodeError MRO: UnicodeDecodeError -> UnicodeError -> ValueError -> Exception

except OSError cannot catch it. The gate dies with an unhandled traceback on the one input the
docstring promises it survives.

This passed review inside the PR because the only test for it uses chmod(0o000)
(test_unreadable_file_is_skipped, line 201) — that raises PermissionError, which is an
OSError, so the test exercises the branch that already worked and never touches the broken one.
Same shape as #304, where all four tests of a helper used the default flag and missed the one branch
that was broken.

Fix: except (OSError, UnicodeDecodeError), or read_text(errors="replace"). Add the non-UTF-8 file
as a test, red first.

Not blocking, worth knowing

The gate scans taosmd/ only, so a copy landing in scripts/ or dashboard/ stays invisible. That
matches the card's scope and I am not asking for it here.

Where this leaves the card

Both fixes are in one function and neither is architectural. The wiring — the actual thing
tsk-25u425 asked for — is sound and I would not want it re-done. Per close-on-block policy this PR
is closed with a revision card carrying these two blockers and the branch preserved; nothing is lost.

Filing note for whoever picks it up: this gate and tsk-lomnt3's guard half are the same artifact.
When this lands, tsk-lomnt3 narrows to landing the one shared helper.

Closed under the close-on-block policy. Revision card: tsk-vcda2i, carrying both blockers from the review above, the red-first requirement for each, and both false-positive controls as permanent tests.

The branch exec/tsk-25u425 is preserved — closing a PR does not delete it, so nothing here is lost. The card explicitly tells the next lane to KEEP the CI wiring: that part was the card'''s actual blocker and it is discharged.

Bot triage, for whoever picks up tsk-vcda2i: kilo raised 2 WARNINGs and only one is real.

  • normalise_handle_gate.py:72except OSError misses UnicodeDecodeError. REAL. Independently found and it is blocker 2 on the revision card.
  • normalise_handle_gate.py:50except SyntaxError allegedly misses a ValueError from ast.parse() on null bytes. NOT REAL on this codebase. Verified end to end on Python 3.13.5 (the venv this repo runs):
null byte source        -> SyntaxError -> caught by the gate
_definitions_in_source  -> returns []  (no crash)
check() on a real null-byte .py under taosmd/ -> (0, '...PASS...')
CONTROL plain syntax error -> SyntaxError, same path

Null bytes raised ValueError from compile() in much older CPython, which is where that claim comes from. Do not add a ValueError arm for it — it would be dead code justified by a comment that is false on every Python this repo supports. Blocker 2 on the card is scoped to read_text, deliberately.

jaylfc added a commit that referenced this pull request Aug 17, 2026
… non-UTF-8 (#308)

Revision of the closed PR #305. Overload stubs are excluded so one logical helper typed normally no longer counts as three, and non-UTF-8 files are skipped with a warning rather than crashing, which is what the docstring already claimed.

Both proven red against #305's own gate and green here. The four false-positive and positive controls are permanent tests, and the CI wiring from #305 is kept.
