Summary

mise bootstrap packages apply no longer treats content changes inside an already-installed brew-cask app as "missing."

Previously, schema-2+ receipts compared full content fingerprints on every status/apply. Any drift (self-update without auto_updates, writing into the bundle, etc.) made the cask look missing, so the next apply re-swapped /Applications/*.app and macOS revoked TCC grants (Accessibility, Screen Recording, …). Fingerprinting large app trees also made converge slow even when nothing needed installing.

Changes

• Install health for schema-2+ receipts is presence-based for apps/fonts (directory / file kind at the recorded path).
• Symlinks (binaries/completions) still compare the recorded link destination via cheap readlink and require the link to resolve, so dangling or retargeted links stay repairable (addresses review feedback).
• Content fingerprints remain for prune and adopt safety.
• Version upgrades and remove+apply still replace apps when a fresh pour is intentional.
• Docs updated to describe the TCC / performance rationale.
• Tests: content drift stays installed; missing app is missing; dangling/retargeted/wrong-kind symlink and file cases.

Test plan

• cargo test --all-features --bin mise receipt
• cargo test --all-features --bin mise cask_target_present
• Reviewer: optional macOS check that a non-auto_updates cask with a touched file inside .app stays installed on mise bootstrap packages status / apply

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Modified contents within installed app bundles and fonts no longer incorrectly mark casks as missing or trigger unnecessary reinstalls.
  • Cask status now correctly detects missing applications and validates recorded filesystem targets.
  • Symlinks must retain their recorded destinations and resolve successfully.
  • Missing or unrecognized receipts and pending transactions continue to be reported as unhealthy.
  • Upgrades and explicit remove-and-apply operations still replace applications as expected.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Cask installation status now validates recorded target presence and filesystem kind instead of target content fingerprints. Symlinks must retain their recorded destinations and resolve successfully. Tests and documentation cover content drift, missing targets, type changes, and dangling links.

Changes

Cask receipt status

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Target presence validation src/system/packages/brew/cask.rs	Receipt checks validate recorded target presence and filesystem kind without hashing target contents. Symlinks must retain their recorded destinations and resolve to existing targets.
Status regression coverage src/system/packages/brew/cask.rs, docs/bootstrap/packages/brew.md	Tests and documentation cover unchanged status after content drift, missing targets, type changes, changed symlink destinations, and dangling links.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 5e7d4

The change narrows brew-cask reinstall behavior to avoid replacing already-present applications after internal content drift, while retaining repair checks for missing or invalid links and files. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

Poem

A rabbit checks the cask receipt,
The target stands on steady feet.
Its contents change, but status stays,
A dangling link earns missing praise.
Hop, hop—the checks complete!

Add coverage for every recorded target kind.

The helper has separate File, Directory, and Symlink branches, but the new status tests cover only a directory-backed app. Add matching file and symlink cases, plus wrong-kind replacements, to protect binary and completion status checks from regressions.

Greptile Summary

The PR changes schema-2+ brew-cask health checks from content fingerprinting to presence and target-kind validation while retaining strict symlink destination and resolution checks.

• Prevents app or font content drift from triggering cask reinstallation and resetting macOS TCC grants.
• Keeps missing apps, dangling links, retargeted links, and target-kind changes repairable.
• Documents the new health-check behavior and adds focused regression tests.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge.

No blocking failure remains; the prior dangling and retargeted symlink issue is addressed by validating both the recorded link destination and target resolvability.

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
src/system/packages/brew/cask.rs	Uses presence-based health checks for file and directory targets while validating symlink identity and resolvability; the previously reported dangling-symlink issue is fixed and covered by regression tests.
docs/bootstrap/packages/brew.md	Documents presence-based cask status, retained symlink validation, and the TCC and performance rationale.

Addressed the dangling-symlink review note in 5e7d47d: symlink install health now compares the recorded readlink destination and requires the link to resolve, while apps/fonts stay presence-based so content drift does not force a reinstall (TCC).
