Merge project.pbxproj by union of added entries instead of by line - #15419
Conversation
No target in this project is filesystem-synchronized, so adding one source file writes four pbxproj entries: a PBXBuildFile, a PBXFileReference, a group child and a Sources phase member. Two branches that each add a different file append to all four of the same regions and collide positionally, even though the entries are disjoint. It is the most common conflict in the repository and it is never a disagreement. scripts/ci/catch_up_pr.py already resolves exactly this, with union_pbxproj. That only ever helped the catch-up bot and merge-main.sh. It did not help a local `git merge main`, a rebase, or a pull request from a fork, which catch-up refuses by design and which therefore re-conflicts on this file every time main moves. Expose the same union as a git merge driver, registered the way the .xcstrings one already is: an attribute in .gitattributes and a config line in install-git-hooks.sh, which setup.sh runs. Existing clones pick it up by re-running that installer. The driver is conservative in the same way the union is. A hunk merges only when both sides purely added distinct lines; anything else returns non-zero and git writes normal conflict markers. Because the driver overwrites the working-tree file, the union is also run through normalize-pbxproj.py on a temporary copy first, and a result that would not open in Xcode is refused rather than written. catch_up_pr.py pins merge.pbxproj.driver=false alongside the xcstrings one. Without that the bot would execute a merge driver script out of the tree it is merging, which on a fork head is untrusted code. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to A narrow duplicate-key merge can leave marker-free duplicate entries in the working file, and an incomplete checkout can skip project validation. Both are bounded merge-workflow risks; the normalizer is present in the supported full checkout. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to A failed project-file merge can leave a file that looks conflict-free but contains duplicate build settings. Git still reports the merge as unresolved, so someone must explicitly accept that file before it can land. The automated catch-up path keeps its separate safeguard against running the new driver on fork content. Retained concerns

Blocking finding on exact head f2462912f238:
merge-pbxproj.py returns nonzero when the conservative union rejects a real disagreement, but it leaves %A unchanged. Git does not rerun the default text merge after a custom merge driver fails; the driver is responsible for leaving the conflicted result in %A. The index is unmerged, yet the working-tree project file therefore looks like a clean ours-only file, so manually staging it can silently discard the incoming build-setting or target change.
Please materialize the normal three-way conflict output into %A before returning failure, and add an integration test that performs an actual Git merge and asserts both conflict markers and unmerged index stages. The existing direct-driver tests cannot catch this contract violation.

Refuse the merge when the normalizer is unavailable.
When the merge driver is installed but scripts/normalize-pbxproj.py is absent, normalized() returns the unchecked union. main() then writes that text to %A and returns success. This can report a clean merge and leave invalid project content in the working tree. Return failure instead.

Do not write a rejected union through a clean fallback merge.
If two branches insert the same dictionary key at separate locations, git merge-file can merge the text without a conflict, while union_pbxproj() rejects the duplicate key. fallback_conflict() then writes that clean, duplicate-key result to %A despite returning failure. Preserve %A when git merge-file returns zero; write its output only when it contains an actual conflict. (git-scm.com)

Reconciled the concurrent branch updates and fixed the merge-driver failure path. Before, a rejected custom merge could leave only ours or mistake pre-existing marker-shaped text for a materialized conflict; hook installation could also trust checkout-mutated helper paths. The driver now always leaves a complete explicit/diff3 conflict, compares logical additions, and installs pinned clone-local trusted hook helpers. Validation after merging current main: merge driver 22/22, hook installer 15/15, preflight trust 5/5, execution registry 29/29, Linux guard routing 35/35; diff checks clean. An independent final review was clean. — Mochi |

Summary
cmux.xcodeproj/project.pbxprojconflicts constantly, and almost never because anyone disagrees.PBXFileSystemSynchronizedRootGroupis used by no target here, so adding one source file writes four entries by hand: aPBXBuildFile, aPBXFileReference, a child in its group, and a member of the target's Sources phase. Two branches that each add a different file append to all four of the same regions. The entries are disjoint; the lines are adjacent; git conflicts.scripts/ci/catch_up_pr.pyhas resolved exactly this for a while, inunion_pbxproj(). It was just never exposed as a git merge driver, so it only ever helped the catch-up bot andscripts/merge-main.sh. It did not help a localgit merge main, a rebase, or a pull request from a fork, which catch-up refuses by design and which therefore re-conflicts on this file every time main moves.This registers the same union as a merge driver, the way the
.xcstringsone already is.What changed
scripts/merge-pbxproj.py: the driver. It loadsunion_pbxprojfrom the catch-up script rather than reimplementing it, so both paths resolve a conflict identically and cannot drift apart..gitattributes:cmux.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj merge=pbxproj.scripts/install-git-hooks.sh: themerge.pbxproj.driverconfig, next to the xcstrings one.scripts/setup.shruns this, so new clones get it. Existing clones need to re-runscripts/install-git-hooks.shonce. Without the config git silently uses the default driver, which is the behaviour as it is today.scripts/ci/catch_up_pr.py: pinsmerge.pbxproj.driver=false.tests/test_merge_pbxproj.py, wired intoci-guardspreflight beside the xcstrings driver test.The security part
Adding the
.gitattributesline without thecatch_up_pr.pychange would have been a hole. The bot merges fork heads, and a merge driver named in.gitattributesruns from the tree being merged. A fork could have shipped its ownscripts/merge-pbxproj.pyand had it executed on the runner.merge.xcstrings.driver=falsewas already there for that reason;merge.pbxproj.driver=falsejoins it, and the comment aboveGITnow says why.The test suite covers the bot's side of this too: with
driver=falsethe same merge still conflicts, which is what the bot wants, because it then applies the union itself from trusted code.It refuses more than it accepts
A hunk is merged only when both sides purely added distinct lines. Both sides editing the same line, either side removing a line, either side arriving with conflict markers already in the file: all of those return non-zero and git writes normal conflict markers exactly as today. Adding the same file under two different object ids is refused as well.
Because the driver overwrites the working-tree file, the union is additionally run through
scripts/normalize-pbxproj.pyon a temporary copy before anything is written. If the normalizer rejects it for broken syntax or a duplicated object id, the merge is abandoned with the file untouched. A test asserts that specifically, because a half-written project file is a worse outcome than a conflict.Verification
python3 tests/test_merge_pbxproj.py: 8 passed.project.pbxproj, with two branches each adding a source file:git mergeis clean with the driver configured, the result passesnormalize-pbxproj.py --check, and the same merge under-c merge.pbxproj.driver=falsestill conflicts.python3 scripts/verify-local.py: 15 of 16, native compilation not selected and not relevant here.tests/test_ci_catch_up_pr.py,test_ci_merge_main.py,test_ci_auto_catch_up_select.py,test_merge_xcstrings.py,test_install_git_hooks.py, and the eighttest_ci_*guard*/ workflow structure suites: all pass.No app code is touched, so there is nothing to dogfood.
