🤖 Augment PR Summary

Summary: This PR updates several internal helper shell scripts to satisfy SonarCloud rule S7682 by making function return values explicit.

Changes:

  • Added explicit return 0 statements to many logging/helper functions across 9 scripts under .agent/scripts/.
  • Added explicit success returns after content-extraction and formatting helpers (e.g., awk/jq-based extractors).
  • Updated terminal title and session review helper scripts to eliminate remaining S7682 findings.

Technical Notes: These are behavior changes to function exit statuses; callers that rely on predicate functions’ return codes should be double-checked.

Unconditional return 0 here makes has_oh_my_zsh always succeed, so callers like if has_oh_my_zsh; then ... will behave incorrectly. Same issue applies to has_oh_my_bash, has_starship, has_powerlevel10k, has_tabby, and is_installed in this script.

Unconditional return 0 makes is_protected_branch always succeed, which breaks the workflow checks that branch on it (e.g., if is_protected_branch; then ...). Consider preserving the exit status of the [[ ... ]] test instead of forcing success.

Code Review

This pull request aims to fix SonarCloud violation S7682 by adding explicit return 0 statements to shell functions. While this is a good practice for functions that perform actions and should signal success, this change has been applied too broadly and has introduced critical bugs in several predicate functions (functions that check a condition and return true/false via their exit code).

Specifically, functions like is_protected_branch, has_oh_my_zsh, has_tabby, and is_installed will now always return true (exit code 0), breaking any conditional logic that depends on them. I've left detailed comments on how to fix these critical issues.

Additionally, I've identified several instances in logging functions where arguments are not quoted, which can lead to unexpected behavior due to word splitting and globbing. I've provided suggestions to make these functions more robust. Please address the critical issues before merging.

critical

Adding return 0 to these predicate functions (has_oh_my_zsh, has_oh_my_bash, has_starship, has_powerlevel10k) is incorrect. These functions are intended to return the exit status of the test command inside them (0 for success/true, non-zero for failure/false). By forcing a return 0, they will always indicate success, breaking any conditional logic that relies on them. The explicit return 0 should be removed from all these functions.

There are two issues with these logging functions:

  1. The arguments should be double-quoted to prevent word splitting and globbing issues if the messages contain spaces or special characters (ShellCheck SC2086).
  2. The log_error function should print to standard error (>&2) to follow standard practice for error messages. This allows callers to separate normal output from error output.

Here's a suggested fix for both issues:

Suggested change
log_info() { echo -e "${BLUE}[INFO]${NC} $1"; return 0; }
log_success() { echo -e "${GREEN}[SUCCESS]${NC} $1"; return 0; }
log_warn() { echo -e "${YELLOW}[WARN]${NC} $1"; return 0; }

log_warn() { echo -e "${YELLOW}[WARN]${NC} $1"; return 0; }
log_error() { echo -e "${RED}[ERROR]${NC} $1" >&2; return 0; }

47-78: Critical: Predicate functions now always return success, breaking detection logic.

Adding return 0 after [[ tests or command -v discards the actual test result. These functions will now always return true, regardless of whether Oh-My-Zsh, Starship, Powerlevel10k, or Tabby are actually installed.

This breaks:

  • Line 322: if has_oh_my_zsh — will always take the OMZ branch
  • Line 381-389: Detection messages shown even when tools aren't installed
  • Lines 449-452, 455: Status display will show incorrect information

The fix is to use the test result directly as the return value, not append an unconditional return 0.

     [[ -d "$HOME/.oh-my-zsh" ]]

-    return 0
 }

 has_tabby() {
     [[ -f "$TABBY_CONFIG_FILE" ]]
-    return 0
 }

Note: To satisfy S7682 while preserving predicate semantics, the SonarCloud rule may need a suppression comment for these specific functions, or the functions can be restructured to explicitly return $?:

has_oh_my_zsh() {
    [[ -d "$HOME/.oh-my-zsh" ]]
    return $?  # Explicit return of test result
}

In @.agent/scripts/session-review-helper.sh:
- Around line 47-53: The is_protected_branch predicate currently forces a
success by unconditionally using "return 0", so callers always treat the branch
as protected; remove that explicit "return 0" so the function returns the exit
status of the [[ "$branch" == "main" || "$branch" == "master" ]] test (or
replace it with an explicit "return $?" of that test) and keep the rest of the
function (local branch; branch=$(get_branch)) unchanged so callers like
is_protected_branch used at lines where it's evaluated behave correctly.

In @.agent/scripts/terminal-title-setup.sh:
- Around line 286-290: The is_installed function currently forces success by
unconditionally calling "return 0", so it should be changed to return the actual
result of the test; remove the trailing "return 0" and let the compound test
determine the exit status, or explicitly return 0 on match and 1 on miss (e.g.,
keep "[[ -f \"$rc_file\" ]] && grep -q \"$MARKER_START\" \"$rc_file\"" or
replace with an explicit if/then: if [[ -f \"$rc_file\" ]] && grep -q
\"$MARKER_START\" \"$rc_file\"; then return 0; else return 1; fi), referencing
the is_installed function and MARKER_START so downstream checks behave
correctly.

.agent/scripts/todo-ready.sh (1)

74-75: LGTM! Explicit returns in parser and output functions.

The added return 0 statements in parse_tasks, output_text, output_verbose, and output_json correctly normalize exit status after these formatting functions complete. Since these functions are purely for data transformation and output, explicit success returns are appropriate and align with the learning to use explicit returns in shell scripts.

.agent/scripts/fix-s131-default-cases.sh (2)

18-21: LGTM! Logging helpers with explicit success returns.

These one-liner logging functions correctly return 0 since their job is to print messages, not to signal errors. The caller is responsible for error handling logic. Note that print_error returning 0 is correct—the function succeeded in printing the error message; it's not the error itself.


106-109: LGTM! Finder function with explicit return.

find_missing_defaults outputs violations via awk and completes successfully. The explicit return 0 ensures consistent behavior regardless of whether awk found any violations.

.agent/scripts/tool-version-check.sh (2)

106-124: LGTM! Version query functions with consistent exit status.

The get_installed_version, get_npm_latest, get_brew_latest, and get_pip_latest functions correctly use fallback patterns (|| echo "unknown" or || echo "not installed") to communicate failures via output rather than exit codes. The explicit return 0 ensures these query functions always succeed at the shell level while their output indicates the actual state.


256-259: LGTM! Category iterator with explicit return.

check_category processes tool specifications in a loop and correctly returns 0 after completion.

.agent/scripts/memory-helper.sh (6)

86-89: LGTM! JSON extraction with explicit return.

extract_ids_from_json correctly returns 0 after extracting and echoing IDs. The function succeeds in its extraction task regardless of whether IDs were found.


122-125: LGTM! Database initialization with explicit return.

init_db creates the database and schema if needed. The explicit return 0 ensures consistent success status after initialization completes.


130-134: LGTM! ID generation with explicit return.

Simple utility function that echoes a unique ID. Explicit return is appropriate.


393-396: LGTM! Stats command with explicit return.

cmd_stats outputs memory statistics. The function completes successfully after displaying all stats.


440-443: LGTM! Validation command with explicit return.

cmd_validate reports on stale and duplicate entries. Finding issues doesn't mean the function failed—it successfully performed validation.


621-624: LGTM! Help command with explicit return.

cmd_help outputs usage documentation. Explicit return after heredoc is appropriate.

.agent/scripts/gsc-add-user-helper.sh (7)

17-20: LGTM! Logging helpers with explicit returns.

Standard logging function pattern with explicit return 0. Same correct pattern used across the codebase.


46-49: LGTM! Help function with explicit return.

show_help outputs usage via heredoc and correctly returns 0.


51-68: LGTM! Chrome profile path detection with explicit return.

get_chrome_profile_path correctly echoes the appropriate path for each OS and returns 0. Note that the exit 1 on line 64 for unsupported OS is preserved, ensuring proper error handling for that edge case.


70-82: LGTM! Playwright setup with explicit return.

ensure_playwright checks for dependencies and installs if needed. The explicit return 0 confirms successful setup.


185-188: LGTM! Script generation functions with explicit returns.

create_add_script and create_list_script generate Playwright automation scripts. Explicit returns after file generation are appropriate.


225-229: LGTM! Script runner with explicit return.

run_script executes the generated Node script and returns 0 on completion.


273-285: LGTM! Command handlers with explicit returns.

cmd_add, cmd_list, and cmd_check orchestrate their respective operations and correctly return 0 upon completion.

.agent/scripts/session-review-helper.sh (5)

41-45: LGTM! Branch getter with explicit return.

get_branch echoes the branch name (or fallback). Explicit return is appropriate here.


55-60: LGTM! Commit getter with explicit return.

get_recent_commits echoes commit history. Explicit return is appropriate.


62-69: LGTM! Change counter with explicit return.

get_uncommitted_changes echoes staged/unstaged counts. Explicit return is appropriate.


90-103: LGTM! Ralph status getter with explicit return.

get_ralph_status echoes loop status information. Explicit return is appropriate.


105-119: LGTM! PR status getter with explicit return.

get_pr_status echoes open PR information. Explicit return is appropriate.

.agent/scripts/generate-skills.sh (4)

60-78: LGTM! Logging helpers with explicit returns.

Standard logging function pattern with explicit return 0. Consistent with the rest of the codebase.


80-100: LGTM! Frontmatter extraction with explicit return.

extract_frontmatter_field preserves its early return 1 for missing files (line 87) while adding return 0 after successful extraction. Since callers use command substitution and check output emptiness (lines 108, 169, 323), this doesn't change behavior.


132-147: LGTM! String transformation utilities with explicit returns.

to_skill_name and capitalize are pure transformation functions that echo their results. Explicit returns are appropriate.


149-198: LGTM! SKILL.md generators with explicit returns.

generate_folder_skill and generate_leaf_skill output structured SKILL.md content. The explicit return 0 at the end of each confirms successful generation.

.agent/scripts/ralph-upstream-check.sh (4)

42-62: LGTM - Logging functions correctly standardized.

Explicit return 0 on logging functions ensures predictable control flow without masking meaningful failures. Since these functions only perform output, the return value is semantically unimportant, and this satisfies the S7682 requirement cleanly.

Based on learnings, explicit returns in shell scripts are the preferred pattern.


90-145: LGTM - Output-returning functions properly handle errors via fallback patterns.

These functions use the || echo "" idiom to return empty/default values on failure, with callers checking the output content rather than return codes. Adding return 0 is correct since the error handling is embedded in the output logic.


147-203: LGTM - Function outputs result via echo, return code correctly normalized.

The compare_implementations function communicates its result through the echoed string ("true" or "false"), which the caller captures via command substitution at line 259. The return 0 correctly indicates successful execution of the comparison logic.


273-337: LGTM - Help and main entry points properly standardized.

Clean exit code handling with early return 1 for unknown options (line 324) and explicit return 0 for successful paths. This maintains reliable exit codes per the coding guidelines for proper exit code handling.

.agent/scripts/terminal-title-setup.sh (5)

27-30: LGTM - Logging functions correctly standardized.

These are pure output functions where the return value is semantically irrelevant. The inline return 0 style is clean and maintains consistency.


40-45: LGTM - Value-returning functions correctly handle return codes.

detect_shell, tabby_count_disabled_profiles, and get_rc_file communicate results via echo, with callers using command substitution. The return 0 correctly indicates successful execution.

Also applies to: 89-96, 262-284


152-256: LGTM - Generated hook functions appropriately return 0.

The _aidevops_terminal_title functions generated within heredocs are prompt hooks. Their return values are not checked by the shell hook system, so explicit return 0 is safe and satisfies the explicit return requirement.


438-476: LGTM - Command handlers properly standardized.

cmd_status and cmd_help are terminal command functions that perform their work and exit cleanly. Explicit return 0 ensures reliable exit codes for downstream callers.

Also applies to: 478-516


522-545: Intentional: main() correctly propagates subcommand exit status.

The comment at line 544 documents the design decision to return the status of the executed command rather than forcing return 0. This allows failures in cmd_install or cmd_uninstall to propagate correctly. No changes needed here.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

Critical: return 0 breaks boolean function semantics.

The is_protected_branch function is used as a boolean predicate throughout the script (lines 136, 226, 297, 312). Adding return 0 after the [[ ]] comparison causes the function to always return success, making all callers think the branch is always protected.

For example:

  • Line 136: if is_protected_branch; then issues+="on-protected-branch," will always add the issue
  • Line 297: $(is_protected_branch && echo "true" || echo "false") will always echo "true"
🐛 Proposed fix - remove the return 0 from this predicate function
 is_protected_branch() {
     local branch
     branch=$(get_branch)
     [[ "$branch" == "main" || "$branch" == "master" ]]
-    return 0
 }

Alternatively, if SonarCloud requires explicit returns, use the comparison's exit status:

 is_protected_branch() {
     local branch
     branch=$(get_branch)
-    [[ "$branch" == "main" || "$branch" == "master" ]]
-    return 0
+    if [[ "$branch" == "main" || "$branch" == "master" ]]; then
+        return 0
+    else
+        return 1
+    fi
 }

is_protected_branch predicate currently forces a success by unconditionally
using "return 0", so callers always treat the branch as protected; remove that
explicit "return 0" so the function returns the exit status of the [[ "$branch"
== "main" || "$branch" == "master" ]] test (or replace it with an explicit
"return $?" of that test) and keep the rest of the function (local branch;
branch=$(get_branch)) unchanged so callers like is_protected_branch used at
lines where it's evaluated behave correctly.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

Critical: is_installed always returns true, breaking install/uninstall flow.

Same issue as the detection functions. The return 0 discards the result of the compound test, causing:

  • Line 394: Always attempts to remove existing integration (even if none exists)
  • Line 426: Uninstall never reports "No integration found"
  • Line 469: Status always shows integration as installed
🐛 Proposed fix
 is_installed() {
     local rc_file="$1"
     [[ -f "$rc_file" ]] && grep -q "$MARKER_START" "$rc_file"
-    return 0
+    return $?
 }

is_installed function currently forces success by unconditionally calling
"return 0", so it should be changed to return the actual result of the test;
remove the trailing "return 0" and let the compound test determine the exit
status, or explicitly return 0 on match and 1 on miss (e.g., keep "[[ -f
\"$rc_file\" ]] && grep -q \"$MARKER_START\" \"$rc_file\"" or replace with an
explicit if/then: if [[ -f \"$rc_file\" ]] && grep -q \"$MARKER_START\"
\"$rc_file\"; then return 0; else return 1; fi), referencing the is_installed
function and MARKER_START so downstream checks behave correctly.
