feat: add file metadata checks (CC302-CC304) - #560
Conversation
GitHub's push rules police file size, path patterns and path length, but only on Team and Enterprise plans for private repositories; this brings the same policies to every plan and forge (#558). The need is first-party: this organization once shipped a GitHub App private key committed as a *.pem, and a prohibited-pattern rule would have stopped it at commit time. Three independent rules join the CC3xx range, all off until their [files] setting carries a usable value: * CC302 file_size — commits may not add files over max_size (bytes, or a KB/MB/GB suffix; binary units) * CC303 file_pattern — committed paths may not match any prohibited_patterns fnmatch entry; a bare pattern like *.pem also matches the file name at any depth * CC304 path_length — committed paths may not exceed max_path_length characters --files (-f) requests them for the commit at HEAD or --rev, reading only the paths and sizes recorded in the commit — never contents, keeping the "not a code linter" promise (content scanning stays with tools like gitleaks). Deletion-only commits skip: removing a file adds nothing to police. Malformed config values disable a rule rather than failing every commit, and --files with an empty [files] section says so on stderr instead of passing silently. A check-files pre-push hook covers the tip commit locally; CI covers every commit. Closes #558

Three review findings, each verified before fixing:
* The check-files pre-push hook validated HEAD, so pushing another
local ref passed CC302-CC304 without checking what was pushed.
FilesValidator now recognizes the four-field pre-push ref lines on
stdin and validates the tip of every pushed ref (deletions exempt);
input of any other shape falls back to the revision under test.
* parse_size("inf") aborted the whole run with OverflowError instead
of disabling CC302 as documented — int(float("inf")) raises it and
only ValueError was caught.
* _build_files_rules carried cognitive complexity 27 against the
configured limit of 15 (the one SonarCloud finding on this PR);
the three rule-specific branches are now focused builders and the
method is a dispatcher.
README documents the check-files hook alongside check-tag.
Review follow-up caught a real gap: FilesValidator understood pre-push ref lines, but the CLI never handed them over — --files was missing from the non-message stdin resolution, and the PRE_COMMIT_* environment fallback (the framework consumes git's native stdin) only fired for --no-force-push. Both now cover --files, and an integration test drives main() with the PRE_COMMIT_* variables to prove the pushed sha is validated rather than HEAD.
CodSpeed executes each benchmark-marked test more than once against the same tmp_path fixture. Two TestGetCommitFiles tests mutate the fixture in ways that only work on a fresh directory (mkdir on an existing path, a commit with nothing left to stage), so their second execution failed the Run benchmarks job. Unmark them so they run only in the regular test matrix, like the other deselected tests.

On the CodSpeed -11.5% verdict: the two regressed benchmarks are The meaningful signal is the other 536 benchmarks: all untouched — no validation, config, or git-interaction path got slower. There is nothing to optimize here short of trimming user-facing help text, so the right resolution is to acknowledge the two regressions on CodSpeed (maintainer access required). The benchmark test failures from earlier runs are fixed — this run executed 561/561 benchmarks cleanly. Generated by Claude Code |
Code review found the file rules reporting pass or skip while a violating file sat in the commit. Each was reproduced end to end in a scratch repo before and after the fix: * git ls-tree reads pathspecs relative to the current directory, so running commit-check from any subdirectory matched zero entries and every file rule skipped with exit 0 on a commit that failed at the repository root. Pathspecs are now :(top,literal) and the lookup is --full-tree, which also keeps the paths root-relative -- otherwise CC303 matches and CC304 lengths would be measured against '../x'. * git diff-tree prints nothing for a merge commit, so a prohibited file arriving through a merge passed unexamined -- exactly the commit CI checks on a pull request. Merges are now diffed against their first parent. * The pre-push hook reduced each ref to its tip, so a .pem added by any earlier commit of a multi-commit push went through. The remote sha on the hook's stdin line now bounds a rev-list range, and files repeated across commits collapse to one offender. * A failed ls-tree batch was skipped, silently shrinking the checked set while the run still passed. A failure now reports nothing, which surfaces as a skip rather than a pass, and batches are bounded by argument length as well as count so Windows' 32k command line cannot drop a batch in the first place. Two more, found the same way: * Pushing a tag re-diffed the commit it points at, so git push --follow-tags could be rejected over a file committed months ago. Tag refs are skipped here; CC401 polices tag names. * An unusable [files] value (max_size = "5M") disabled its rule in silence whenever another file setting was valid, since the "nothing configured" hint only fires when no rule builds at all. The rejected setting and its value are now named on stderr. get_commit_files is memoized per run on the context, so the three rules share one lookup instead of running the git plumbing three times over every commit in a push.

Three cleanups on the code the previous commit added; behaviour is unchanged and re-verified against all the scratch-repo reproductions. * Extract _blob_sizes() so get_commit_files() stops nesting a parse loop inside its batch loop, which had pushed it toward the cognitive-complexity limit. * Annotate FilesValidator._files_for_rev's return type. * Hoist the duplicated _git test helper to one module-level _run_git() shared by both git-integration test classes.

Codecov flagged the all-zero remote sha branch of get_push_commits as the one uncovered line. The test pushes a branch to a real bare remote so the assertion is the semantics that matter: a new ref is checked for its own commits, not for every ancestor the remote already has.

The repeated init/config/commit sequences pushed "user.email", "t@example.com" and "chore: base" past the duplicate-literal threshold. One _init_git_repo() and one _commit_all() helper replace the three copies, alongside the constants the file already keeps for this purpose.

Review caught a hole in the previous commit: skipping refs/tags/* on pre-push assumed a tag always names history that was already pushed. When no pushed branch contains the tagged commit, the tag push is what delivers it, and a prohibited file rode along with exit 0. Reproduced against a real remote before and after. Tags now go through the same range as branches. What matters is not whether a ref is a tag but whether it carries commits the remote lacks, and rev-list answers that either way: a tag over already-pushed history resolves to an empty range, so git push --follow-tags is still not rejected over a file committed long before, while a tag that is the only thing carrying a commit gets that commit checked. Verified all three: unpushed-commit tag fails, already-pushed tag passes, and a branch+tag push fails once rather than twice.

Three review findings, each verified first: * FilesValidator.validate carried cognitive complexity 16 against the configured limit of 15 -- the SonarCloud finding on this PR. The revision resolution and the cross-commit file collection are now named helpers, leaving validate to read as the dispatch it is. * A scalar [files] value was normalised to an empty table before the unusable-value diagnostic could see it, so a config error disabled all three rules in silence -- the same failure mode as an unparsable max_size, which is already reported. It now names the section. * The pathspec budget test allowed a batch to exceed the budget by a whole pathspec, so a regression that overflowed the command line would still have passed. It now asserts what the batching actually guarantees: over budget only when the batch holds a single spec that cannot be split, covered by its own test. Behaviour is unchanged: subdirectory, merge, push range, tag with a new commit, tag on pushed history, and deletion-only push all still give the verdicts their scratch-repo reproductions expect.

Each condition now fails on its own line, so a failure names which part of the diagnostic is missing rather than just that the whole conjunction was false. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018xYa7m3qup5wyN5MaXFgf6
Two defects found reviewing this PR's own code. --first-parent is not a git diff-tree option. git accepted it silently, so -m did what -m does: diff the merge against every parent and concatenate. A merge therefore reported files the *other* parent already carried -- failing a merge over a file it never introduced, the same wrong-history rejection the tag handling avoids -- and repeated any path both parents touched, inflating the "(+N more)" count. The first parent is now named explicitly for a two-tree diff, with --root reserved for a commit that has no parent. fnmatch() folds case through os.path.normcase, so prohibited_patterns = ["*.pem"] caught KEY.PEM on Windows and missed it on Linux and macOS: one config, two policies, with CI and a developer's pre-push hook disagreeing about the same commit. fnmatchcase() behaves the same everywhere, and case-sensitive is what git pathspecs already are. README says so where the patterns are documented. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018xYa7m3qup5wyN5MaXFgf6
The lineage lookup now rejects an unresolvable revision before diff-tree runs, so the diff's own failure branch lost its coverage. It still guards a real case -- a revision that resolves while its tree cannot be read -- so it keeps its own test rather than the guard.
