Two files, two distinct parse failures.

nick-shells/shell/modules/prompt.sh:30 — 'precmd() { PS1="..." }' needs a ';' before the closing brace; without it the whole file fails to parse.

nerdsafe-restart/run-constrained.sh:163 — '${HOME}/.asdf && --volume=...' sat INSIDE the NERDCTL_ARGS=( ... ) array literal. Conditional logic is not valid there, so the array never closed and the file did not parse — meaning the container was never receiving any of these arguments. Moved out to a conditional append after the array closes, which is what the comment intended.

Note prompt.sh still reports SC2148 (no shebang). It is a sourced module, so a shebang may be inappropriate; left for separate triage rather than added blindly.

Found by an estate-wide shellcheck sweep of 5,111 tracked scripts across 375 repos: 11 files fail to parse (SC1073/SC1072). shellcheck stops analysing at the failure, so everything after it was never checked either.

Verified: shellcheck -S error reports 0 parse errors for the file(s) touched.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved environment setup so existing asdf installations are correctly detected and made available when launching constrained environments.
    • Fixed shell prompt initialisation to ensure command prompts continue updating reliably in zsh.
  • Compatibility
    • Improved behaviour for users with asdf installed in their home directory.

Walkthrough

The changes update asdf volume mounting in the constrained restart script and terminate a one-line zsh precmd function declaration with a semicolon.

Changes

asdf volume mounting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Append the asdf mount
nerdsafe-restart/run-constrained.sh
When ${HOME}/.asdf exists, the script appends a read-only asdf volume mount to NERDCTL_ARGS.

zsh prompt syntax

Layer / File(s) Summary
Terminate the precmd function
nick-shells/shell/modules/prompt.sh
The one-line zsh precmd function declaration now ends with a semicolon.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0f5b8

The parse fixes are accompanied by an argument-order bug that can cause the container runtime to misinterpret the .asdf volume option and omit the intended mount. Fix this before merging.

Poem

A rabbit checks the mount with care
And finds the asdf path is there
The shell array grows neat and bright
The prompt ends cleanly, just right
Two tiny fixes hop along
And keep the command line strong

Pull Request Overview

While this PR successfully addresses the syntax errors mentioned in the title, it introduces a significant logic regression in run-constrained.sh. Specifically, a new conditional block at line 177 is redundant with existing logic (lines 180-186) and incorrectly appends arguments to the NERDCTL_ARGS array.

Because the volume flag is added after the image name, the command will fail during execution as nerdctl requires options to precede the image. Additionally, the subsequent array-slicing logic will incorrectly duplicate the image name. These issues should be resolved before merging to ensure the script functions as intended.

About this PR

  • The PR introduces argument corruption in run-constrained.sh. By appending to the NERDCTL_ARGS array after the image name has already been set, the script violates container runtime conventions where options must appear before the image. This also breaks the fragile array-slicing logic used later in the script to insert other conditional volumes.

line 1 ⚪ LOW RISK
Suggestion: Adding a ShellCheck directive helps editor and CI tools understand the intended shell dialect for this module. Since this is a Zsh-compatible prompt module, ensure the directive matches the intended interpreter.

# shellcheck shell=bash

line 1 ⚪ LOW RISK
Nitpick: Referenced quality issue for shell dialect identification.

Test suggestions

  • Verify 'prompt.sh' loads without error in a Zsh environment.
  • Verify 'run-constrained.sh' executes without syntax errors in Bash.
  • Verify that when '${HOME}/.asdf' exists, the volume argument is correctly inserted into the nerdctl command before the image name.
  • Verify that the container image name is not duplicated when the '.asdf' directory exists.
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Verify 'prompt.sh' loads without error in a Zsh environment.
2. Verify 'run-constrained.sh' executes without syntax errors in Bash.
3. Verify that when '${HOME}/.asdf' exists, the volume argument is correctly inserted into the nerdctl command before the image name.
4. Verify that the container image name is not duplicated when the '.asdf' directory exists.

🔴 HIGH RISK

This conditional append is redundant and introduces a logic error. The logic for mounting the '.asdf' volume is already implemented in the block at lines 180-186. Adding it here at line 177 appends the --volume flag after the $IMAGE_NAME (which was added at line 173), violating the requirement that options precede the image name in nerdctl. Furthermore, this causes the subsequent slicing logic to malfunction, resulting in a duplicated image name and a malformed command.

Consider refactoring the script to push $IMAGE_NAME to the array at the very end (after all conditional logic) so that flags can be added using simple += syntax without brittle array slicing.

Remove the duplicate .asdf argument construction.

When ${HOME}/.asdf exists, the append places --volume=... after $IMAGE_NAME. The conditional rebuild then preserves the original image and adds a second $IMAGE_NAME. The volume is therefore after the image and may be treated as a container command argument, not a nerdctl option. Keep one .asdf construction only.
