+# Issue #99 — deploy.sh on stock macOS (conditional `--chown`) — design
+
+Date: 2026-07-10
+Issue: [#99](https://github.com/git-agentic/git.agentic/issues/99)
+Related: OpenWolf bug-123 (2026-07-09 suite-site deploy failure)
+
+## Problem
+
+`website/scripts/deploy.sh` passes `--chown=www-data:www-data` to rsync.
+macOS ships openrsync, which does not support `--chown`,
+so on a stock machine the deploy dies after the build step.
+Every other flag the script uses (`-avz`, `--delete`, `-e`, `--rsync-path`) is supported by openrsync;
+`--chown` is the only portability break.
+
+The end state that matters: served files under `/var/www/git-agentic.com` owned `www-data:www-data`,
+nginx tested and reloaded, script prints "✓ Deployed."
+
+## Decision
+
+Conditional `--chown` (approach B, chosen over unconditional server-side chown):
+
+- **Detection** is a capability probe, not a vendor sniff:
+  `rsync --help 2>&1 | grep -q -- '--chown'`.
+  GNU rsync ≥ 3.1.0 lists `--chown` in its help; openrsync does not.
+  This also handles old GNU rsync (< 3.1.0) correctly.
+- **Capable rsync:** invocation identical to today, `--chown` included, no extra SSH command.
+  Zero behavior change on machines with GNU rsync (acceptance criterion 3).
+- **Incapable rsync (openrsync):** same invocation minus `--chown`,
+  then one extra SSH command after the sync and before the nginx test + reload:
+  `sudo chown -R www-data:www-data $DOCROOT`.
+  This is the exact sequence verified manually on the 2026-07-09 deploy (bug-123).
+
+## Implementation shape
+
+macOS `/bin/bash` is 3.2, where expanding an empty array under `set -u` errors,
+so the conditional flag is a scalar (the flag contains no spaces):
+
+```bash
+CHOWN_FLAG=""
+if rsync --help 2>&1 | grep -q -- '--chown'; then
+  CHOWN_FLAG="--chown=www-data:www-data"
+fi
+
+rsync -avz --delete \
+  -e "ssh -p $SSH_PORT" \
+  --rsync-path='sudo rsync' \
+  ${CHOWN_FLAG:+"$CHOWN_FLAG"} \
+  dist/ "$SSH_TARGET:$DOCROOT/"
+
+if [[ -z "$CHOWN_FLAG" ]]; then
+  echo "→ Local rsync lacks --chown (openrsync); fixing ownership server-side..."
+  ssh -p "$SSH_PORT" "$SSH_TARGET" "sudo chown -R www-data:www-data $DOCROOT"
+fi
+```
+
+The fallback path announces itself with the `echo`
+so an operator understands why an extra SSH command ran;
+the GNU path stays silent, as today.
+
+## Error handling
+
+Nothing new: `set -euo pipefail` is already in place,
+so a failed server-side chown aborts before the nginx reload,
+the same as any other step.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `bash -n` and `shellcheck` on the script.
+- Probe logic checked locally against `/usr/bin/rsync` (openrsync)
+  and, if installed, Homebrew GNU rsync.
+- The full acceptance criteria (deploy runs to "✓ Deployed." with only openrsync on PATH;
+  served files end up `www-data:www-data`) require a real deploy against the server,
+  triggered by the operator — the script change alone cannot verify them.
+
+## Out of scope
+
+- Requiring or recommending Homebrew GNU rsync (rejected approach C).
+- Unconditional server-side chown (rejected approach A — chosen B preserves
+  the literal GNU-rsync behavior, at the cost of a second code path).
+- Any other deploy.sh behavior (build, SSR-artifact pruning, docroot bootstrap, nginx reload).
+
+## Housekeeping
+
+- Update `.wolf/buglog.json` bug-123 once the fix lands (fix is now scripted, not manual).
+- Cerebrum Do-Not-Repeat entry: bash 3.2 errors on empty-array expansion under `set -u`;
+  use a scalar + `${VAR:+"$VAR"}` for conditional single flags in portable scripts.

+# Issue #99: deploy.sh conditional `--chown` Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Make `website/scripts/deploy.sh` complete end-to-end on stock macOS (openrsync) while keeping the invocation byte-identical on machines with GNU rsync.
+
+**Architecture:** Capability-probe the local rsync for `--chown` support (`rsync --help | grep -- --chown`). If supported, pass `--chown=www-data:www-data` exactly as today. If not, omit it and run one extra SSH command after the sync — `sudo chown -R www-data:www-data $DOCROOT` — before the existing nginx test + reload. Spec: `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-10-issue-99-openrsync-chown-design.md`.
+
+**Tech Stack:** bash (must run on macOS `/bin/bash` 3.2), rsync (GNU ≥ 3.1.0 or openrsync), ssh, shellcheck for linting.
+
+## Global Constraints
+
+- Work happens in worktree `.worktrees/issue-99-openrsync-chown/` on branch `issue-99-openrsync-chown` (repo rule: never edit the main checkout).
+- Script must work under bash 3.2: no empty-array expansion under `set -u` — use a scalar flag with `${CHOWN_FLAG:+"$CHOWN_FLAG"}`.
+- No other behavior change in `deploy.sh` (build, SSR pruning, docroot bootstrap, nginx reload stay untouched).
+- The full acceptance test (real deploy to "✓ Deployed." with only openrsync on PATH; served files owned `www-data:www-data`) touches the production server and is run by the operator, not by this plan.
+- Commits: plain prose, imperative mood, no conventional-commits prefixes (repo style).
+
+---
+
+### Task 1: Conditional `--chown` in deploy.sh
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `website/scripts/deploy.sh:39-44` (the rsync invocation; insertion of fallback block before line 46)
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: existing env handling in the script — `$SSH_PORT`, `$SSH_TARGET`, `$DOCROOT` are already defined at lines 23–25.
+- Produces: n/a (leaf script; no other task depends on it).
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Verify the failure precondition (the "failing test")**
+
+The script cannot be TDD'd against the real server, so the red step is demonstrating that (a) the local stock rsync lacks `--chown` and (b) the script currently passes it unconditionally.
+
+Run (from the worktree root `.worktrees/issue-99-openrsync-chown/`):
+
+```bash
+env PATH=/usr/bin:/bin sh -c 'rsync --help 2>&1 | grep -q -- --chown && echo has-chown || echo no-chown'
+grep -n -- '--chown' website/scripts/deploy.sh
+```
+
+Expected: first command prints `no-chown` (openrsync); second prints exactly one hit, line 43, inside the unconditional rsync invocation. If the first command prints `has-chown`, stop — the machine's `/usr/bin/rsync` is not openrsync and the openrsync-side verification in Step 4 needs a different machine.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Edit the sync section of deploy.sh**
+
+Replace lines 39–44 of `website/scripts/deploy.sh`, currently:
+
+```bash
+echo "→ Syncing dist/ → $SSH_TARGET:$DOCROOT ..."
+rsync -avz --delete \
+  -e "ssh -p $SSH_PORT" \
+  --rsync-path='sudo rsync' \
+  --chown=www-data:www-data \
+  dist/ "$SSH_TARGET:$DOCROOT/"
+```
+
+with:
+
+```bash
+echo "→ Syncing dist/ → $SSH_TARGET:$DOCROOT ..."
+# GNU rsync (>= 3.1.0) supports --chown; macOS's bundled openrsync does not.
+# Probe the capability; without it, fix ownership server-side after the sync.
+# Scalar (not array) on purpose: macOS bash 3.2 errors on empty-array
+# expansion under `set -u`.
+CHOWN_FLAG=""
+if rsync --help 2>&1 | grep -q -- '--chown'; then
+  CHOWN_FLAG="--chown=www-data:www-data"
+fi
+
+rsync -avz --delete \
+  -e "ssh -p $SSH_PORT" \
+  --rsync-path='sudo rsync' \
+  ${CHOWN_FLAG:+"$CHOWN_FLAG"} \
+  dist/ "$SSH_TARGET:$DOCROOT/"
+
+if [[ -z "$CHOWN_FLAG" ]]; then
+  echo "→ Local rsync lacks --chown (openrsync); fixing ownership server-side..."
+  ssh -p "$SSH_PORT" "$SSH_TARGET" "sudo chown -R www-data:www-data $DOCROOT"
+fi
+```
+
+Everything before (`echo "→ Ensuring docroot..."`, line 36–37) and after (`echo "→ Reloading nginx..."`, line 46–47) stays byte-identical.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Syntax check and lint**
+
+```bash
+bash -n website/scripts/deploy.sh
+command -v shellcheck >/dev/null && shellcheck website/scripts/deploy.sh || echo "shellcheck not installed — skipped"
+```
+
+Expected: `bash -n` silent (exit 0); shellcheck reports no new warnings (the `${CHOWN_FLAG:+"$CHOWN_FLAG"}` idiom is shellcheck-endorsed and must not be "fixed" by quoting the whole expansion).
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Verify both probe branches against real binaries**
+
+```bash
+# openrsync branch (stock macOS): expect "fallback"
+env PATH=/usr/bin:/bin sh -c 'rsync --help 2>&1 | grep -q -- --chown && echo direct-chown || echo fallback'
+
+# GNU branch, if Homebrew rsync is installed: expect "direct-chown"
+if command -v brew >/dev/null && [ -x "$(brew --prefix 2>/dev/null)/bin/rsync" ]; then
+  "$(brew --prefix)/bin/rsync" --help 2>&1 | grep -q -- --chown && echo direct-chown || echo fallback
+else
+  echo "GNU rsync not installed — GNU branch verified by inspection only"
+fi
+```
+
+Expected: first prints `fallback`; second prints `direct-chown` or the not-installed notice.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add website/scripts/deploy.sh
+git commit -m "Make website deploy.sh work with openrsync (no --chown)
+
+macOS ships openrsync, which lacks GNU rsync's --chown, so the deploy
+died after the build step (issue #99). Probe the local rsync for
+--chown support: with GNU rsync the invocation is unchanged; with
+openrsync the flag is dropped and ownership is fixed server-side with
+sudo chown -R www-data:www-data before the nginx reload — the sequence
+verified manually on the 2026-07-09 deploy."
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 2: Close the loop in OpenWolf buglog
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `/Users/tonibergholm/Developer/github/git.agentic/.wolf/buglog.json` (bug-123 `fix` field — NOTE: main checkout path; `.wolf/` is untracked/gitignored, so this is not a worktree write and is not committed)
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: Task 1's commit hash (`git -C .worktrees/issue-99-openrsync-chown log -1 --format=%h -- website/scripts/deploy.sh`).
+- Produces: n/a.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Update bug-123's fix field**
+
+```bash
+python3 - <<'EOF'
+import json
+p = '/Users/tonibergholm/Developer/github/git.agentic/.wolf/buglog.json'
+data = json.load(open(p))
+bugs = data if isinstance(data, list) else data.get('bugs', data)
+for b in bugs:
+    if b.get('id') == 'bug-123':
+        b['fix'] = ("Scripted in deploy.sh on branch issue-99-openrsync-chown (issue #99): "
+                    "capability-probe rsync --help for --chown; GNU rsync path unchanged, "
+                    "openrsync path drops the flag and runs server-side "
+                    "sudo chown -R www-data:www-data before nginx reload.")
+        b['last_seen'] = '2026-07-10'
+        print('updated bug-123')
+        break
+else:
+    raise SystemExit('bug-123 not found')
+json.dump(data, open(p, 'w'), indent=2)
+EOF
+```
+
+Expected: prints `updated bug-123`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Log to .wolf/memory.md**
+
+```bash
+printf '| %s | Implemented issue #99 fix: conditional --chown in deploy.sh | website/scripts/deploy.sh | committed on issue-99-openrsync-chown | ~2k |\n' "$(date +%H:%M)" >> /Users/tonibergholm/Developer/github/git.agentic/.wolf/memory.md
+```
+
+Expected: exit 0.
+
+---
+
+## Operator follow-up (not part of this plan's execution)
+
+- Open a PR from `issue-99-openrsync-chown` referencing issue #99.
+- Run a real deploy from a machine with only `/usr/bin/rsync` on PATH; confirm "✓ Deployed." and `ssh $SSH_TARGET "stat -c '%U:%G' /var/www/git-agentic.com/index.html"` → `www-data:www-data`. These are acceptance criteria 1–2 of issue #99.

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Make website deploy.sh work with openrsync (no --chown)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

macOS ships openrsync, which lacks GNU rsync's --chown, so the deploy
died after the build step (issue #99). Probe the local rsync for
--chown support: with GNU rsync the invocation is unchanged; with
openrsync the flag is dropped and ownership is fixed server-side with
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data before the nginx reload — the sequence
verified manually on the 2026-07-09 deploy.
