Greptile SummaryThis PR adds structured Homebrew cask symlink steps with guards, templates, source globs, sudo behavior, receipt tracking, and transactional restoration.
Confidence Score: 3/5The PR is not yet safe to merge because stale temporary recovery files can block all cask installs and failed backup cleanup can leave protected originals permanently untracked. Recovery still propagates failures while deleting stale Files Needing Attention: src/system/packages/brew/cask.rs Important Files Changed

## Summary - add support for Homebrew cask `artifact` stanzas - constrain generic artifact targets to the Homebrew prefix - preserve directory symlinks and platform metadata while copying - include installed artifact paths in transactional rollback and receipt fingerprints ## Context This is the second PR in the cask lifecycle stack.

## Summary - implement structured recursive `copy` steps with overwrite, glob, guard, rollback, and receipt behavior - support script-based cask installer artifacts - preserve staged symlink sources under the final Caskroom and retarget temporary Caskroom links before activation - install declared formula and cask dependencies and reject installed conflicts before mutation - accept serialized `network_access` metadata for direct commands ## Context This is the top PR in the stack and builds on #11963. Together the stack supports the current metadata shapes used by `android-ndk`, `distroav`, `docker-desktop`, `gcloud-cli`, `libcblite`, `libcblite-community`, `meshlab`, and `multipass`. The live definitions for all eight casks were exercised through the built CLI on Linux. Each parsed successfully and reached the expected macOS/platform availability boundary.

External copies are tracked in the flight transaction but not treated like install “status” targets, matching the doc note that user-mutable trees shouldn’t force reinstall fingerprints. > > **Script `installer` artifacts** run a staged executable (made executable first) with a PATH that includes the mise prefix; paths are restricted to the stage or files recorded from prior copy steps.

Note
High Risk
Large install-path changes with elevated filesystem ops, sudo fallbacks, and recovery logic that can restore or remove user paths outside the caskroom; mistakes could corrupt installs or leave partial state.
Overview
Adds structured
symlinksteps to mise’s Homebrew cask lifecycle DSL: path bases (staged_path,appdir,homebrew_prefix, literal), templates ({{version}},{{caskroom_path}}, etc.), guards, source globs,force/uninstall, andFlightSudo(never/always/if_needed). Docs inbrew.mddescribe the new capability.Install flow now runs pre/postflight through a
FlightTargetTransaction: external links get backed up before replacement, failed installs roll back viaDrop, and durable flight-recovery records under state allowrecover_flight_backups()on the next install. Receipts gainflight_directories, per-targetuninstall, and only links actually created (after guards) are recorded viawrite_receipt_with_flight_targets.Staging/activation copies staged symlink closures into
.homebrew-staged, durabilizes external symlinks before caskroom swap, and retargets absolute links when the temp caskroom becomes the final version dir. Preflight still sees prior install symlinks; backups of previous flight symlinks happen after preflight. Linux cask copy paths handle directories;lnargs use-hon macOS and-nelsewhere.FlightPathBase::Absoluteis renamed toLiteral; sharedparse_flight_guards/parse_flight_sudosupport run and symlink steps. Large test coverage for parsing, globs, rollback, recovery edge cases, and receipt flight symlink tracking.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit fe89577.
