fix(repo,cli): ws harvest defaults to the author recorded at fork (#286) by tonibergholm-codento · Pull Request #287 · git-agentic/src-control

tonibergholm-codento · 2026-10-21T08:24:23Z

Closes #286

sc ws fork --author was stored in the session manifest, but sc ws harvest passed its own resolved author (--author, $SC_AUTHOR, OS user) and never read the stored one, against the fork help text.

Repo::ws_harvest now takes author: Option<&str>. None uses the session's stored author; an explicit value wins.
The CLI passes the raw --author instead of calling resolve_author. The harvest help text and the sc-cli-reference skill now describe this.
No manifest change. The author field was always required, so old manifests already carry it.
ws refresh already used the stored author. sc work has no stored value.

Test: harvest_defaults_to_the_fork_author_and_an_explicit_one_wins covers unnamed and named sessions, with and without a harvest --author. Existing ws_harvest test calls were updated to Some("t").

Checked: cargo fmt --all, cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings, cargo test -p scl-repo -p scl-cli.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Workspace harvests now use the author configured when the session was forked by default.
- An explicitly provided harvest author takes precedence over the session’s configured author.
- This provides consistent landing commit attribution while still allowing authors to be customized for individual harvests.
Documentation
- Updated ws harvest help text and CLI reference to clarify author selection for landing commits.

ws_harvest took a resolved author from the CLI and ignored the one stored in the session manifest, contradicting the fork --help. It now takes Option<&str>: an explicit harvest --author wins, otherwise the fork author is used. ws refresh already read the stored author; sc work has no stored value.

📝 Walkthrough

Workspace harvest now accepts an optional author. It uses the explicit harvest author when supplied and otherwise uses the author recorded when the session was forked. The CLI passes the optional value through, and documentation and call-site tests reflect this contract.

Changes: Workspace harvest author

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Author selection and coverage `crates/repo/src/ws.rs`	`Repo::ws_harvest` accepts an optional author. It uses that author when supplied and otherwise uses the session’s recorded fork author. Tests cover both choices for named and unnamed sessions.
CLI wiring and call-site updates `crates/cli/src/main.rs`, `.claude/skills/sc-cli-reference/SKILL.md`, `crates/repo/src/file_dir_collision.rs`, `crates/repo/src/partial_sessions.rs`, `crates/repo/src/partial_size.rs`, `crates/repo/src/ws_refresh.rs`, `crates/repo/tests/exec_bit.rs`	The CLI passes the optional author to workspace harvest. Help text, skill documentation, and affected test calls reflect the updated contract.

observed — Modified behavior in crates/cli/src/main.rs: Changed workspace harvest wiring to pass the optional author through directly rather than resolving it immediately via the general author fallback.
observed — Modified behavior in crates/repo/src/file_dir_collision.rs: Updated the failing ws_harvest test call to provide the workspace name as Some("t") instead of a bare string.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The production changes implement issue #286. The API updates, caller updates, regression test, help text, and skill reference support the author-resolution behavior. No unrelated change is identified in the supplied scope summary.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #286 requires stored-author fallback, explicit --author precedence, a regression test, and wording updates in the skill reference and CLAUDE.md. The PR summary shows the author behavior, help text, skill reference, and regression test changes. It shows no CLAUDE.md change, so that coding documentation requirement remains unmet.

Resolution

Update CLAUDE.md to state that ws harvest uses the ws fork --author value by default and that an explicit harvest --author takes precedence.
