Summary

  • switch release changelog collection from ASCII unit/record separators to Git's NUL-delimited output
  • require every nonempty producer result to end in NUL and parse exact SHA, subject, and body triplets
  • accept only full lowercase SHA-1 or SHA-256 object IDs, without trimming malformed whitespace
  • add parser regressions and a temporary-repository integration test for the exact git log -z --format=%H%x00%s%x00%B producer

Git commit subjects and bodies may contain the former 0x1f and 0x1e delimiters. A landed contributor commit could therefore create synthetic fields or records, make a real change look like release metadata, omit it from generated notes, or fail release generation. NUL cannot occur in Git commit payloads, so the new framing restores an unambiguous, fail-closed producer/parser contract.

The impact is release-note integrity and release availability. This does not create package-code execution, credential exposure, or a change to published package contents.

No user-facing configuration or runtime behavior changes, so documentation is not required.

Review feedback addressed

  • reject a complete-looking record when the producer output lacks its terminal NUL
  • reject non-hex, padded, short, or otherwise malformed Git object IDs
  • retain compatibility with both 40-character SHA-1 and 64-character SHA-256 repositories

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The release changelog parser now consumes NUL-delimited Git records, validates complete commit fields, and trims commit bodies. The Git command uses matching separators. Tests cover malformed records, embedded control bytes, and actual git log -z output.

Changes

Release changelog parsing

Layer / File(s) Summary
NUL parser and Git wiring
scripts/build-release-changelog.ts:434-449, scripts/build-release-changelog.ts:472-473
parseGitLog removes the trailing empty field, validates SHA/subject/body groups, and trims bodies. releaseCommits requests NUL-delimited Git output.
Parser validation and integration coverage
tests/build-release-changelog.test.ts:2-4, tests/build-release-changelog.test.ts:142-145, tests/build-release-changelog.test.ts:162-182, tests/build-release-changelog.test.ts:184-238
Tests use NUL-delimited fixtures, reject incomplete records, preserve embedded control bytes, and validate output from a temporary Git repository.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f3df2

The parser can still accept malformed Git output, allowing invalid or truncated commit records to enter generated release notes or cause release generation to fail. Merge should wait until strict SHA validation and terminal-NUL validation are added.

@luvs01 I reviewed exact head f3df298beb7acf93c0210f99b5a37714cdfa2a50.

I found two issues.

  1. P1 — Reject a missing final NUL delimiter.
    scripts/build-release-changelog.ts, Line 435 removes a trailing empty field when it exists, but it does not require that field. Therefore, this malformed producer output is accepted:

    `${sha("a")}\0fix: change\0fix: change`

    The input has three fields, so Line 436 accepts it. However, git log -z --format=%H%x00%s%x00%B always emits the final NUL. This behavior breaks the stated fail-closed producer/parser contract. A truncated output that ends after a complete body can generate release notes instead of failing.

    Return an empty commit list only when raw === "". Otherwise, require raw.endsWith("\0") before removing the final empty field. Add a test that the three-field input without the final NUL throws "malformed release commit record".

  2. P2 — Validate the SHA field before using it as a commit identifier.
    scripts/build-release-changelog.ts, Line 443 checks only that sha.trim() is non-empty. For example, not-a-sha\0fix: change\0body\0 is accepted. The value later forms a commit URL at Line 240 and participates in coverage tracking.

    The PR objective requires strict SHA, subject, and body triplets. Validate the trimmed SHA against the supported full Git object-ID format before adding the commit. Add malformed-input coverage for a non-hex SHA. If this repository supports only SHA-1, require 40 hexadecimal characters. If SHA-256 repositories are supported, accept exactly 40 or 64 hexadecimal characters.

flow around the malformed-record check before the commits.push call: reject
whitespace and require sha to be exactly 40 hexadecimal characters, or 64 if
SHA-256 support is already intended, without trimming it before validation;
preserve trimmed storage only after validation succeeds. Add a regression case
in the existing build-release-changelog tests covering an invalid SHA.
- Around line 434-435: Update the raw-field parsing near releaseCommits to
reject nonempty output when the original string lacks a terminal NUL, before
accepting the three-field grouping; preserve acceptance of empty output and
properly NUL-terminated records. Add a regression test in the existing
build-release-changelog test cases covering a complete three-field record
without the final NUL.

@luvs01 I reviewed exact head be835e3024835f6826c156556543d6058ee1d931.

I found no new issues.

The prior findings are fixed:

  • scripts/build-release-changelog.ts, Lines 435-444 now reject non-empty output without a terminal NUL before parsing records.
  • scripts/build-release-changelog.ts, Lines 433 and 450 now require a full lowercase hexadecimal Git object ID of 40 or 64 characters.
  • tests/build-release-changelog.test.ts, Lines 161-191 add coverage for truncated output, invalid object IDs, padded object IDs, SHA-1, and SHA-256.
  • scripts/build-release-changelog.ts, Lines 373-393 preserve git log stdout without trimming, so the terminal NUL reaches parseGitLog.
  • tests/build-release-changelog.test.ts, Lines 205-256 verify the framing from actual git log -z --format=%H%x00%s%x00%B output.

I did not run the repository test suite in this environment.
