Problem

PR #36 scoped registerPreflight to a fixed six-entry commands array. That array, isMutatingGithubCommand, and the commands the package declares are maintained by hand, with nothing binding them. If a command is added or reclassified as mutating on one side only, the override silently stops running for it — the runtime matches by exact normalized path — and the command executes with no early credential warning. (The runtime swallows preflight throws, and the authoritative handler gate only fires once the command actually runs and fails.) This is the same drift risk CodeRabbit flagged on pm-linear #67, where the deprecated linear-sync import alias silently lost its gate.

Manifest-vs-scope audit

Commands pm-github declares (registerCommand + the github importer/exporter aliases):

command mutating? in scope?
github sync yes (unless --dry-run)
github export with --apply/--push
github import yes (unless --dry-run)
gh-issues import (legacy alias) yes (unless --dry-run)
github project import yes (unless --dry-run)
github project sync with --apply
github validate read-only — never gated
github project list read-only — never gated
github project fields read-only — never gated

Diff: every scoped path is a declared command; the three omitted commands are read-only diagnostics that isMutatingGithubCommand returned false for under the old global registration too — no gate was lost, none had to be restored. Notably the legacy gh-issues import alias was already in scope, so the specific gap caught in pm-linear/pm-jira does not exist here.

Fix

Extend the scoping smoke test into a drift guard:

  • every scoped path must be one isMutatingGithubCommand treats as mutating — the apply-gated github export and github project sync are checked under their apply configuration rather than skipped;
  • every declared-but-omitted path must be read-only — a justified exclusion, not an accidental gap.

Fails if either list drifts (verified by temporarily breaking the classifier).

Verified

  • npm test: 251/251 pass
  • coverage: 92.04 lines / 81.34 branches / 91.49 functions (thresholds 88/79/89 met)
  • npm run release:check exits 0
  • npx pm health --strict-exit: ok: true, zero collision warnings
  • dist/ unchanged after rebuild

Summary by Sourcery

Guard pm-github’s preflight override scope against drift from its declared mutating command set to prevent commands silently losing credential gating.

Bug Fixes:

  • Ensure every command in the preflight scope is classified as mutating and every declared-but-unscoped command is verified read-only to avoid missing credential gates.

Enhancements:

  • Extend the smoke test into a drift check that binds the preflight override scope to the mutating command classifier.

Documentation:

  • Document the fix and its impact in the changelog and pm agent issue history.

Summary by cubic

Bind the preflight credential gate’s scope to pm-github’s declared mutating commands and harden the test so drift cannot hide. Previously the guard compared against a hand-maintained list and could miss newly mutating commands; the test now derives the declared set from real activation and asserts the scope equals its mutating class. No runtime behavior changes.

Review focus

  • In test/smoke.test.ts, derive declared command paths from activation registrations (registerCommand, registerImporter, registerExporter) and verify they equal dispatch handler paths.
  • Partition that set with isMutatingGithubCommand under maximally mutating options and assert the mutating + read-only classes reconstruct the declared set exactly.
  • Assert the override’s commands equals the mutating class; fail with the command name if a declared mutating path is missing or a read-only/undeclared path is scoped.
  • Minor housekeeping: .gitattributes, changelog entry, and PM issue artifacts (pm-github-4ga9).

Written for commit d85872a. Summary will update on new commits.

Review in cubic

PR #36 scoped registerPreflight to a fixed six-entry commands array, but
nothing binds that array to isMutatingGithubCommand or to the commands the
package declares: if a command is added or reclassified as mutating on one
side only, the override silently stops running for it (the runtime matches
by exact normalized path) and it executes with no early credential warning.

Extend the scoping smoke test into a drift guard: every scoped path must be
one isMutatingGithubCommand treats as mutating — the apply-gated github
export and github project sync are checked under their apply configuration
rather than skipped — and every declared-but-omitted path (github validate,
github project list, github project fields) must be read-only, proving the
omission is justified rather than an accidental gap.

Manifest-vs-scope audit: every scoped path is a declared command; the three
omitted commands are read-only diagnostics that were never gated under the
old global registration either. No gate lost; the legacy gh-issues import
alias was already in scope.

Verified: npm test 251/251; coverage 92.04 lines / 81.34 branches / 91.49
functions (thresholds 88/79/89); release:check exit 0; npx pm health
--strict-exit ok: true.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d6781

The PR adds a drift guard, but it does not yet verify the complete set of declared commands against the preflight scope. A future mutating command could be omitted while tests still pass, allowing it to run without the intended early credential warning; the test should be completed before merge.

Comment thread test/smoke.test.ts Outdated
…nd-maintained list

Greptile (P2) and CodeRabbit (Major) independently raised the same objection to
the guard added in the previous commit, and both were right.

The test compared the override scope against DECLARED_READ_ONLY_COMMANDS, a
second hand-maintained literal, and only checked that each CURRENT scope entry
was mutating. So declaring a new mutating command while omitting it from both
the scope and that literal left every assertion green - the guard could not
detect the drift it was written for, which is worse than no guard because it
reads as coverage.

This matters more than a typical test-quality note. The whole point of the
change is to NARROW a preflight scope, and narrowing is precisely the operation
that can drop a command's credential gate silently: the runtime matches by exact
normalized path, swallows preflight throws, and the authoritative handler gate
only fires once the command has already run and failed.

The test now derives the declared set from the real activation registrations -
registerCommand, registerImporter and registerExporter - asserts the dispatch
handler paths equal that derived set, partitions it with the same
isMutatingGithubCommand predicate production uses rather than a second copy of
the knowledge, and asserts the mutating and read-only classes reconstruct the
declared set EXACTLY. That last assertion is the one that closes the finding:
without it the hand-maintained list has merely moved.

Verified non-vacuous rather than assumed. A scratch mutating command
'github scratch drift' was declared through registerCommand and added to
isMutatingGithubCommand without touching the override scope; the suite failed
1 of 251 with 'preflight override scope must equal the mutating class of the
declared command set exactly' and the diff named the command. The scratch
command has been removed; 251 of 251 green.

Pushed d85872a — re-review requested.

Both review findings adopted. The drift guard no longer compares against a hand-maintained list; it derives the declared command set from real activation (registerCommand / registerImporter / registerExporter) and asserts the mutating and read-only classes reconstruct that set exactly, so a declared command nobody classified fails the test.

Proven non-vacuous by declaring a scratch mutating command and confirming the suite fails naming it (1 of 251), then removing it — 251/251 green. Full output in the thread replies.

Note: the sibling pm-gantt-chart PR found a live instance of this exact class — gantt export, derived from registerExporter, was covered by the old global override by accident and would have been silently dropped. The finding was not hypothetical.

@unbraind I found one remaining gap.

  • Major — The test does not fail for an unclassified mutating command. isMutatingGithubCommand() returns false by default in index.ts. At Line 214, every declared command for which the classifier returns false is placed in readOnlyPaths. Therefore, if a developer registers github new-write with a mutating handler but does not add it to isMutatingGithubCommand(), the command is treated as read-only, omitted from the preflight scope, and all current assertions pass.

    The non-vacuous check described in the PR updates both the registration and classifier. It proves that scope drift is detected after classification, but it does not prove that missing classification is detected.

    Define mutation intent at the command registration boundary, then derive both the classifier and preflight scope from that declaration. Alternatively, add a separate source-level guard that requires an explicit mutation classification for every declared command. The guard must distinguish read-only from unclassified; a boolean predicate with a false default cannot make that distinction.
