Summary

Continues the scripts-layer architecture work after harness identity and structural release validation. This PR gives ship-canary one typed subprocess seam, so identity, transport, publication, polling, and installation behavior can be tested directly in TypeScript without fake shell executables. Candidate Lineage remains separately owned by ship-canary; proof-control-envelope alignment remains a follow-on unit.

Design decisions

  • Share one trusted root, process environment, and command runner across preflight and qualification.
  • Keep the real adapter Bun-native and dependency-free while preserving working directory, environment, stdin, timeouts, and raw NUL-delimited output.
  • Replace executable shims and FAKE_* switches with an in-memory recording runner.
  • Retain public-process coverage for help, usage failure, human classification, and JSON classification.

Validation

  • 50 focused command-runner and canary tests pass with 177 expectations.
  • Repository suite passes: 739 tests, 5 intentional live-boundary skips, 0 failures.
  • bun run generate:check passes.
  • bun run release:validate passes.
  • Independent specification and repository-standards reviews found no remaining blocking issue.
  • Fallow reported no introduced dead code or duplication; its two introduced refactor suggestions were reviewed as intentional adapter structure and direct real-adapter coverage.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added configurable command execution with support for working directories, environment variables, input, timeouts, and output handling.
    • Added programmatic canary workflow entry points and structured change classification results.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved validation for targets, repository state, identities, publication, candidate races, and qualification lineage.
    • Added bounded polling and consistent timeout handling.
  • Testing
    • Expanded coverage for CLI output, change classification, unusual file paths, transport security, and canary workflow scenarios.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds a synchronous Bun command runner and injects it into the canary workflow. It exports structured canary entry points, centralizes qualification dependencies, and replaces subprocess-heavy tests with recording-based direct tests.

Changes

Canary command execution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Command runner contract and implementation
scripts/command-runner.ts, scripts/command-runner.test.ts
Adds typed command options and output contracts. bunCommandRunner supports working directory, environment, stdin, timeout, trimming, and exit-code handling.
Shared canary execution dependencies
scripts/ship-canary.ts
Routes identity checks, publication, target management, hosted polling, installation, and qualification through injected dependencies.
Preflight, classification, and CLI entry points
scripts/ship-canary.ts
Exports and injects preflight and classifyCanaryChanges. Adds runCanary as the coordinated execution entry point.
Recording-based canary validation
scripts/ship-canary.test.ts
Replaces fake executables with recording runners and temporary fixtures. Adds direct tests for CLI output, identity, validation, publication, polling, races, credentials, and qualification failures.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ed004

The PR centralizes subprocess execution for canary operations, but timeout and signal-termination outcomes can still be reported incorrectly when a child handles termination, potentially misclassifying failures and producing inaccurate canary error messages. Merge should wait for this behavior to be corrected or explicitly accepted by the owner.

481-488: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Consider bounding network commands with the existing timeout budget.

processResult never passes timeout, so every command it runs can block without a bound. That includes the network paths: git ls-remote in proveCandidateRef, git push in publishTarget, git clone in installCandidate, gh repo create in createTarget, and gh api user in preflight. Only waitForRun at line 989 applies a timeout today, although CANARY_NETWORK_COMMAND_TIMEOUT_MS already expresses the intended budget.

The new CommandRunner contract now supports timeout, so a hung canary run can be bounded here. Add an optional timeout parameter and pass the network budget at the network call sites.

 	command: string[],
 	allowFailure = false,
 	workingDirectory = root,
 	environment?: Record<string, string | undefined>,
 	commandRunner: CommandRunner = bunCommandRunner,
+	timeout?: number,
 ): string | undefined {
-	const result = commandRunner.run(command, { workingDirectory, environment })
+	const result = commandRunner.run(command, { workingDirectory, environment, timeout })

215-221: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Name the credential-helper identity branch instead of keying on the "fake" token value.

The branch depends on options.environment?.GH_TOKEN === "fake", which must match the password returned at line 257. When httpsServerIdentity is unset, both branches return the same value, so the condition only matters for the mismatch scenario. A named constant makes the coupling explicit and prevents silent drift if the helper password changes.

♻️ Proposed change
+		// The credential helper at `git credential fill` returns this password, so a
+		// `gh api user` call carrying it represents the HTTPS server-side identity.
 		if (command[0] === "gh" && command[1] === "api" && command[2] === "user") {
 			return output(
-				options.environment?.GH_TOKEN === "fake"
+				options.environment?.GH_TOKEN === HELPER_PASSWORD
 					? (this.scenario.httpsServerIdentity ?? "myagentdojo")
 					: "myagentdojo",
 			)
 		}

Define the constant next to the runner:

const HELPER_PASSWORD = "fake"

1026-1029: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Make the leak assertion cover the channels that carry the password, and assert the pre-publication failure.

Line 1029 stringifies only record.command. The credential password never travels in the argument vector; resolveTransportIdentity passes it through options.environment.GH_TOKEN, and the helper request travels through options.input. The assertion therefore proves little about exposure.

The test name also claims failure before publication, but no assertion checks that no push occurred.

Inline comments:
In `@scripts/command-runner.ts`:
- Around line 59-66: Update the result handling around result.exitCode in the
command runner to use result.exitedDueToTimeout for exit code 124, while
preserving a distinct status for other signal terminations instead of treating
SIGTERM as a timeout. Also handle piped stdout and stderr as buffers when the
process ends via a signal, while preserving the existing trimOutput behavior for
normal string output.

In `@scripts/ship-canary.test.ts`:
- Around line 809-811: Strengthen the timeout assertion in the polls check so
every command has a defined per-command timeout and that timeout is at most 25.
Do not default undefined values to zero; update the predicate around
runner.commands and preserve the existing non-empty poll assertion.
- Around line 118-168: Update both subprocess classification tests around the
Bun.spawnSync invocations to pass HEAD for both --base and --head instead of
origin/main, and change the JSON test’s base and head expectations to HEAD while
preserving the existing assertions.
