The git hooks of this repository start Julia once per hook, where they started it three or four times.

.githooks/pre-commit and .githooks/pre-push become short launchers. pre-commit.jl runs the test-layout check, the format check, fatou lint and the NFC check in one Julia process, and the load test in a child process with --project=., so the load test still sees the package's own environment, as using Pkg does in CI. pre-push.jl does the same for the push checks.

Both launchers decide without julia whether a check must run: a commit with no staged .jl file, no deleted .jl file and no change below test/ passes, and so does a push that updates no main or master, even when julia is missing or cannot start; any other commit or push without julia is refused. A renamed .jl file, a path with non-ASCII characters and a file that does not parse are checked too; a file that does not parse is listed alone, with the first line of its error. A staged .jl path that is not a file, such as a symlink to a missing file, is refused with one line. A commit that only deletes a .jl file runs the load test. The package name is read with TOML.parsefile, and a Project.toml that does not parse is refused.

The formatting stage needs JuliaFormatter 2.14 or later, which supports Julia 1.10 and later, and refuses an older release with one line that names its version. A fatou that cannot start skips the advisory lint stage, as a missing fatou does. The lint stage and the load test run in a process group of their own, with a limit of 60 s and 600 s: at the limit the hook kills the group and returns. An interrupted push stops its suite, and kills it 30 s after the interrupt if it still runs.

The files are byte-identical to githooks/ (and scripts/test-layout.jl) of the ResearchHarness at commit a578570, as harness githooks --apply installs them. Only pre-commit and pre-push are executable.

Nothing else changes. After the merge, harness githooks reports nothing to do for this repository.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Developer Experience
    • Commits now receive checks for staged Julia code and test changes, including formatting and package loading. Linting remains advisory when available.
    • Pushes to the main or master branch run the test suite; pushes to other branches skip this gate.
    • Hooks report errors when required checks cannot run or fail.

Walkthrough

The pre-commit shell hook now delegates staged-file checks to a Julia pipeline. The pre-push shell hook forwards ref lines to a Julia gate, which runs the selected test suite for pushes targeting main or master.

Changes: Pre-commit Checks

Layer / File(s) Summary
Staged-file input and hook entry
.githooks/pre-commit, .githooks/pre-commit.jl
The shell hook checks staged Julia and test/ paths, handles listing failures, and launches the Julia script when checks apply.
Staged-file validation
.githooks/pre-commit.jl
The Julia pipeline runs test-layout, formatting, advisory lint, and NFC checks. Formatting and NFC checks block on violations.
Package load and pipeline verdict
.githooks/pre-commit.jl
The pipeline reads the package name and runs a package-load check when one is present. Blocking failures produce a nonzero exit.

Pre-push Test Gate

Layer / File(s) Summary
Ref gate and test-suite selection
.githooks/pre-push, .githooks/pre-push.jl
The shell hook preserves and forwards ref lines. The Julia script selects Pkg.test for a named package or test/runtests.jl when available.
Test execution and result handling
.githooks/pre-push.jl
For main or master pushes, the script runs the selected suite and handles its result. It stops the test process on interrupt and exits successfully when no test target is available.

Merge Risk: Low · up to a1181

If a push is interrupted while the test suite runs, leftover test processes can keep running after the hook exits. This is a narrow edge case. Fixing it is a small change and not a blocker for merge.

Review details

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in .githooks/pre-commit: The Bash hook’s inline stage implementation was replaced with a launcher. It now checks staged .jl paths using ACDMRT and staged test/ paths, refuses either listing error, exits successfully when both results are empty, and reports failure if Julia is missing. Otherwise, it executes adjacent pre-commit.jl with startup-file loading disabled and forwards arguments. The removed implementation ran test-layout checks for test/ changes, formatting and NFC checks for staged existing Julia files, advisory lint, and a package load check when Project.toml declared a package name.
  • observed — Modified behavior in .githooks/pre-commit.jl: Adds comments documenting the hook’s stages, which staged files they check, and that the file defines functions without running them when included.
  • observed — Modified behavior in .githooks/pre-commit.jl: Adds color constants, an indentation helper, and staged, which returns NUL-delimited cached paths or nothing if Git fails.
  • observed — Modified behavior in .githooks/pre-commit.jl: Adds process-group tracking and signaling plus run_boxed, which captures combined output, sends SIGTERM at the timeout and SIGKILL five seconds later, and returns nothing with empty output on timeout. Otherwise it returns the exit status, including 128 + signal for signal termination, and captured output.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "Update the git hooks: one Julia process per hook" names the main change: the hooks now delegate their checks to Julia scripts so that a single Julia process runs per hook. The changeset matches this: pre-commit and pre-push become launchers, and pre-commit.jl and pre-push.jl hold the check logic. The title is specific enough for a teammate scanning history to see the primary change. It omits some details (for example, the new pre-commit and pre-push Julia scripts and the removed Bash test logic), which the title does not need to cover.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 0 files.

Minor · Stability & Availability · Quick win

Descendants of the suite can survive an interrupt without the SIGKILL fallback.

The loop at Line 72 waits only for the group leader p. The leader is the julia process that runs Pkg.test. When it exits after SIGINT, the loop ends, and Line 79 cancels killer. The test process that Pkg.test started may still be running in the same process group. It then runs on as an orphan with no SIGKILL. This is the failure the docstring says the code prevents. The docstring says a group still running grace seconds after the interrupt gets SIGKILL.

Wait for the whole group, not only the leader. Probe the group with kill(-group, 0). Keep killer active until the group is gone. Use sleep in the loop, because wait(p) returns at once after p exits and would spin.

Run the interrupt path once with a test process that ignores SIGINT. Confirm that kill -0 on the recorded descendant PID fails after the hook exits.
