- Around line 62-69: Update the dotfiles documentation to state that targets
outside $HOME may use either source or inline content, while preserving the
existing restrictions on combining content with source, mode, or exclude.
In `@src/system/files.rs`:
- Around line 1500-1509: The ownership check in plan_inline_file must reject
symlinks even when their followed content matches. Require the target to be
non-symlink before accepting the matching-content path as managed, while
preserving the existing handling for regular files and differing or existing
targets.

Greptile SummaryAdds literal whole-file dotfile content across parsing, status, apply/unapply, bootstrap dry-run simulation, and OCI image generation.
Confidence Score: 5/5The PR appears safe to merge. No blocking failure remains; the previously reported OCI permission issue is fixed because inline content is emitted with mode Important Files Changed

`main` does not compile under `cfg(test)`:
error[E0063]: missing field `content` in initializer of `files::FileRequest`
--> src/system/files.rs:2110:9
Two changes landed 24 minutes apart and neither could see the other. jdx#11981
added `link_req`, a test helper that builds a `FileRequest`; jdx#11983 then added
`content` as a required field. Each was green against the `main` it was cut
from, and the combination only exists after both merged.
The field is only meaningful for inline-content entries. These tests cover link
and copy modes, which read the file at `source`, so `None` is the value that
matches what they assert rather than a placeholder.
`as_request` in `cli/dotfiles/add.rs` already passes `content: None`; this was
the one construction left behind.

Summary
contententries for whole-file dotfilessource,mode, orexcludeoptionsWhy
Whole-file dotfile entries previously required a separate source file. This made
[dotfiles]an awkward workaround for user-writable files declared inline under[bootstrap.files], which always elevated during mutations.Validation

Note
Medium Risk
Touches core dotfile apply/unapply and OCI image layers; inline writes can overwrite targets on apply, though validation limits misconfiguration.
Overview
Whole-file
[dotfiles]entries can now declare file bodies inline with{ content = "..." }instead of a separate source file—useful for small configs and paths outside$HOMEthat previously requiredsource.Inline entries use a new
contentmode: mise writes a regular file (mode0600on Unix), detects content drift on status/apply like copy/template, and showssource: null/ "inline" in JSON and status output.source,mode, andexcludecannot be combined withcontent(invalid configs are rejected or warned).The same behavior is wired through bootstrap dry-run config simulation, OCI dotfiles layers, and conservative unapply (only removes files that still match the managed bytes unless
--force).Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit a7116f2. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
