The naive widening — * flagging every mention — was tried in #3560 and reverted: an absence * assertion must contain the basename to assert the file is gone, so * without the two kinds separated the guard fires on correct code and * gets disabled. A mention that is neither a pin nor an absence * assertion (prose, a path assembled on another line) is not flagged — * a documented known limit, chosen because a false violation reds a * correct tree while a missed prose mention only loses one detection * channel. * * `package-lock.json` deletions additionally fail if any workflow still * uses `npm ci` or `cache: 'npm'`/`cache: "npm"` — those depend on a * lockfile even though they never spell out its filename. * * ## False-positive risk (moderate, per audit) * * A common basename (`index.js`, `config.json`) can coincidentally match an * unrelated file, and this only catches LITERAL string references — not a * variable holding the filename or a glob that happened to match it. */ const fs = require('node:fs'); const path = require('node:path'); const cp = require('node:child_process'); const { ExitError, runMain } = require('./lib/cli-exit.cjs'); const { escapeRegex } = require('../gsd-core/bin/lib/pattern.cjs'); const { sanitizeEcho } = require('./command-contract-helpers.cjs'); const ROOT = path.join(__dirname, '..'); const SCAN_ROOTS = ['.github/workflows', 'gsd-core', 'docs']; const EXTRA_FILES = ['package.json']; const TESTS_ROOT = 'tests'; // Skip these when walking SCAN_ROOTS — binary/generated content that can // never carry a meaningful basename reference, and is often large. const SKIP_EXT = new Set(['.png', '.jpg', '.jpeg', '.gif', '.ico', '.woff', '.woff2', '.ttf', '.zip']); /** * Pure: does `content` contain a literal reference to `basename`, delimited * by non-identifier/non-path characters on both sides (so "foo.json" doesn't * match inside "old-foo.json.bak" style names but does match in a normal * path/prose context)? * @param {string} content * @param {string} basename * @returns {boolean} */ function referencesBasename(content, basename) { const re = new RegExp(`(^|[^\\w.-])${escapeRegex(basename)}($|[^\\w.-])`); return re.test(content); } /** * Pure: given the deleted file's basename, does content contain a * lockfile-dependent idiom (`npm ci`, `cache: 'npm'` / `cache: "npm"`)? * Only meaningful for package-lock.json deletions. * @param {string} content * @returns {boolean} */ function referencesNpmLockfileDependency(content) { return /\bnpm ci\b/.test(content) || /cache:\s*['"]npm['"]/.test(content); } function walk(dir) { const out = []; let entries; try { entries = fs.readdirSync(dir, { withFileTypes: true }); } catch { return out; } for (const entry of entries) { const full = path.join(dir, entry.name); if (entry.isDirectory()) out.push(...walk(full)); else if (entry.isFile() && !SKIP_EXT.has(path.extname(entry.name))) out.push(full); } return out; } /** * Pure: given a list of deleted basenames and a `{ file, content }[]` corpus * of the post-diff tree, find every surviving reference. * @param {string[]} deletedFiles - repo-relative deleted paths * @param {{ file: string, content: string }[]} corpus * @returns {{ deletedFile: string, referencedIn: string, reason: string }[]} */ function findSurvivingReferences(deletedFiles, corpus) { const violations = []; for (const deletedFile of deletedFiles) { const basename = path.basename(deletedFile); for (const { file, content } of corpus) { if (referencesBasename(content, basename)) { violations.push({ deletedFile, referencedIn: file, reason: `basename '${basename}' still referenced` }); } } if (basename === 'package-lock.json') { for (const { file, content } of corpus) { if (file.startsWith('.github/workflows') && referencesNpmLockfileDependency(content)) { violations.push({ deletedFile, referencedIn: file, reason: '`npm ci` / `cache: \'npm\'` still present — both require a lockfile', }); } } } } return violations; } /** * Pure: classify ONE line of a test file that references `basename`. * Returns 'asserts-absence' | 'pins-existence' | null. * * - asserts-absence: a NEGATED check carrying the basename — * `assert.ok(!content.includes('x.md'))`, `!fs.existsSync(p)`, * `!/x\.md/.test(s)`.
