fix: keep linked worktree hooks local (sc-1465) - #393
Conversation
## Overview Detect `core.hooksPath` values positively owned by a sibling Git worktree and have `devkit sync-hook-runner` replace only that exact worktree-scoped pin with the already-validated shared relative runner. The replacement holds Git's `config.worktree.lock`, revalidates the full repair plan while locked, transforms a copy through Git's parser, and atomically renames it into place; a failed post-check restores the prior bytes only through a second lock-and-compare transaction. Repo-wide, external-central, ambiguous, and unproven missing paths remain diagnostic-only. ## Relation to Story #1465 Story #1465 reports commits in a linked worktree executing the main checkout's newer, incompatible hook because `config.worktree` pinned an absolute `core.hooksPath` into that checkout. The new real-Git integration test creates that topology, proves a commit initially writes the main-hook marker, runs the repair, and proves the next commit writes the linked-worktree marker. ## Fail-without-fix proof I temporarily made only `replaceableHooksPathPin` return `null`, modeling the pre-fix `sync-hook-runner` behavior while leaving the regression test intact, then ran: ```sh bun run test:run -- cli/__tests__/doctor-hookspath-owner.test.mts -t 'replacing the sibling pin flips which checkout’s hook a real commit runs' ``` It failed exactly at the ticket boundary: expected `.husky/_`, but the worktree remained pinned to the main checkout's absolute `.husky/_` path. Restoring the fix made the identical command pass, including the real commit marker assertion. ## Validation - Focused regression suite: 68 passed, including stale-plan, lock-contention, rollback-race, and ambiguous-value cases - Full suite: 3,836 passed, 5 skipped (213 files passed, 1 skipped) - `bun run typecheck` - `bun run build` - `bun run lint:structure` - `bun run lint` - Correctness review: pass across state, concurrency, contracts, and classification - GitNexus staged change detection: expected high-risk doctor/self-host scope, 17 files / 14 indexed symbols / 12 affected flows - Commit guard: zero semantic candidates and zero staged clones Shortcut Story: https://app.shortcut.com/benordlabs/story/1465

Git release notes for the versions that added git worktree list --porcelain -z and git rev-parse --path-format=absolute
💡 Result:
The git worktree list --porcelain option and the git rev-parse --path-format option were introduced in the following Git versions: git worktree list --porcelain: This option was introduced in Git 2.5.0 [1][2]. It provides a stable, script-friendly output format for listing worktrees [3][4]. git rev-parse --path-format=(absolute|relative): This option was introduced in Git 2.31.0 [5]. It allows users to control whether paths output by certain rev-parse options are rendered as absolute (canonical) paths or relative to the current working directory [6][5]. The feature was developed in late 2020 (commit fac60b8925) and released in the Q1 2021 batch [5].

site:github.com/git/git "worktree list" "\"-z\"" Git
💡 Result:
The "-z" option in the "git worktree list" command is used in conjunction with the "--porcelain" flag to modify the output format [1]. When "git worktree list --porcelain" is executed, the output is provided in an easy-to-parse format designed for scripts [1]. By adding the "-z" option, each line of this output is terminated with a NUL character (ASCII 0) rather than a newline character [1]. This is particularly useful for reliably parsing output when worktree paths or lock reasons contain unusual characters, such as newlines [1]. Without the "-z" terminator, these characters could otherwise cause parsing errors in automated scripts [1]. In the porcelain format, attributes for each worktree are listed with a label and a value separated by a space [1]. The first attribute for any worktree is "worktree", and an empty line (or empty record, in the case of "-z") indicates the end of that worktree's record [1]. Note that "--porcelain" and "--verbose" are mutually exclusive [2].

site:github.com/git/git "path-format=absolute" rev-parse Git 2.31
💡 Result:
The --path-format=(absolute|relative) option was introduced in Git 2.31 to control the formatting of path-related outputs in git rev-parse [1][2]. When you use --path-format=absolute, relevant paths are printed as absolute and canonical paths [3][4]. When set to relative, paths are displayed relative to the current working directory, whenever possible [3][4]. The default behavior remains option-specific [3][4]. Key characteristics of this option include: 1. Scope: It affects specific arguments that follow it on the command line [3][5]. It can be specified multiple times, with subsequent instances overriding previous ones for the remaining arguments [3][6]. 2. Modified Options: The --path-format option specifically influences the output of commands such as --git-dir, --git-path, and --show-toplevel [3][4]. 3. Unaffected Options: Certain options remain unaffected by --path-format, such as --absolute-git-dir (which always returns an absolute path), --show-cdup, and --show-prefix [3][4]. This feature allows for greater flexibility when scripting, as users can enforce specific path formats without needing to manually post-process the output of git rev-parse [1].

"git worktree list" "-z" "Git 2."
💡 Result:
The command git worktree list -z is used to display the details of all Git worktrees in an easy-to-parse format suitable for scripts [1][2]. When the --porcelain option is used in combination with -z, Git outputs the list of worktrees in a stable, machine-readable format [1][3]. The -z flag specifically instructs Git to terminate each attribute line with a NUL character instead of a newline [1][4]. This is particularly useful for parsing when a worktree path contains newline characters, which would otherwise break standard line-by-line processing [1][2]. In the porcelain output format, each worktree is described by a series of attributes, with each attribute on its own line [1][5]. The first attribute for any worktree is always labeled worktree, and an empty line (or record termination) indicates the end of a specific worktree entry [1][4]. Boolean attributes, such as bare or detached, are represented by their label alone and are present only if the value is true [1][2]. Other attributes, such as locked, may appear with or without a value depending on whether a lock reason is provided [1][3]. If -z is not used, any non-standard characters (such as newlines) in a lock reason are escaped and quoted according to the core.quotePath configuration [1][2].

It was implemented by Phillip Wood [2] and merged into the Git codebase in April 2022 [3][6].

🌐 Web query:
site:github.com/git/git/commit "terminate records with a NUL character" worktree
💡 Result:
In the context of Git, the phrase "terminate records with a NUL character" refers to the use of the ASCII NUL character (byte value 0) as a delimiter instead of the standard newline character (byte value 10) when processing lists of data [1][2]. This is specifically enabled in various Git commands via the -z flag [1][3][4]. This functionality is primarily used to handle filenames or paths that contain unusual characters, such as newlines, which would otherwise break standard line-based parsing [1][4]. Regarding worktrees, Git added the -z option to the git worktree list command to provide NUL-terminated output [1]. This ensures that worktree paths—which might contain newlines—are handled correctly when using the --porcelain output format, as the paths are not otherwise quoted by default [1][2]. More broadly, this pattern is used throughout Git's command suite (e.g., in git cat-file, git ls-files, and git merge-tree) to allow for reliable, unambiguous processing of input and output in scripts and automated tools [3][4][5].

Name the relative escaping pin too, not only the absolute one. The ownership check also reports a RELATIVE core.hooksPath that escapes the checkout, for example ../main/.husky/_. The regression suite covers that case in cli/__tests__/doctor-hookspath-owner.test.mts ("reports a RELATIVE pin that escapes the checkout"). As written, a reader whose pin is relative reads the output of the diagnose command and concludes nothing is wrong.

Overview
Detect
core.hooksPathvalues positively owned by a sibling Git worktree and havedevkit sync-hook-runnerreplace only that exact worktree-scoped pin with the already-validated shared relative runner. The replacement holds Git'sconfig.worktree.lock, revalidates the full repair plan while locked, transforms a copy through Git's parser, and atomically renames it into place; a failed post-check restores the prior bytes only through a second lock-and-compare transaction. Repo-wide, external-central, ambiguous, and unproven missing paths remain diagnostic-only.Relation to Story #1465
Story #1465 reports commits in a linked worktree executing the main checkout's newer, incompatible hook because
config.worktreepinned an absolutecore.hooksPathinto that checkout. The new real-Git integration test creates that topology, proves a commit initially writes the main-hook marker, runs the repair, and proves the next commit writes the linked-worktree marker.Fail-without-fix proof
