What

_resolve_restore_patch (cli --restore-patch) and relativize_spec_folder (--spec, [stories] source) each call .resolve() outside the exception type their local handler catches.

Why

Residual sites from #552: a host that cannot canonicalize a path (a dead WSL UNC provider, WinError 64, or a symlink loop on 3.11/3.12) raises OSError/RuntimeError from .resolve(). _resolve_restore_patch catches only bmadconfig.BmadConfigError; relativize_spec_folder catches only ValueError. Either fault fell through to a generic, unscoped error instead of the function's own specific message.
Fixes #560

How

  • _resolve_restore_patch: wrap the resolve in try/except (OSError, RuntimeError), return the (None, message) shape its sibling checks use. Kept the bare .resolve(): the value feeds a containment check needing a canonical-or-fail answer.
  • relativize_spec_folder: swap both .resolve() calls for platform_util.resolve_or_lexical, degrading to .absolute() instead of raising; the existing except ValueError branch already covers "not inside the project".

Testing

  • One regression test per site: fails on unpatched HEAD, passes after the fix (Docker, uv run pytest -q).
  • Full suite before/after: no new failures (8 pre-existing, unrelated, reproduce identically on unpatched HEAD).
  • ruff/black/isort (pinned per .trunk/trunk.yaml) and pyright clean; both changed lines covered.
  • Not run on Windows or 3.11/3.12/3.14; the fault is platform-blind.

Changelog

Entry added under ## [Unreleased] -> ### Fixed in CHANGELOG.md.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved handling of invalid or unresolved restore-patch paths by showing actionable validation errors instead of failing unexpectedly.
    • Restore operations no longer resume or record a patch when path validation fails.
    • Improved spec-folder path handling when canonical path resolution is unavailable, including clearer diagnostics.
  • Documentation
    • Added changelog entries describing the path-resolution fixes.

Walkthrough

The change handles path canonicalization failures for restore patches and spec folders. Restore-patch resolution now returns a validation error. Spec-folder relativization now uses shared lexical fallback behavior. Regression tests cover both paths.

Changes

Path resolution failure handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Restore-patch rejection handling
src/bmad_loop/cli.py, tests/test_cli.py, CHANGELOG.md
Restore-patch canonicalization failures now return an actionable validation error. Tests verify that execution does not resume and no restore patch is persisted.
Spec-folder lexical fallback
src/bmad_loop/stories.py, tests/test_stories.py
Spec-folder relativization now uses resolve_or_lexical for both paths. Tests cover absolute paths and failures while resolving the project root or spec folder.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b654b

The PR improves scoped handling of restore-patch and spec-folder path-resolution failures, but merge readiness remains moderate because the refusal behavior lacks the required ablation evidence and the spec-folder fallback is not directly verified by a regression test.

Poem

A rabbit checks the patch path twice,
And keeps each error clear and precise.
When canonical paths fail to show,
Lexical paths help folders go.
The hare records the safe result.

605-620: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add a regression case for spec-folder resolution failure.

This test injects the failure only into project. It does not exercise the resolve_or_lexical(raw) call at src/bmad_loop/stories.py Line [484]. A regression that restores raw.resolve() could still pass this test. Add a case that targets spec_folder and asserts the same relative result and stderr diagnostic.

Proposed regression case
+def test_relativize_spec_folder_survives_unresolvable_spec_folder(
+    tmp_path, monkeypatch, capsys
+):
+    project = tmp_path / "proj"
+    spec_folder = project / "specs" / "s1"
+    spec_folder.mkdir(parents=True)
+    refuse_to_resolve(monkeypatch, spec_folder)
+
+    rel = stories.relativize_spec_folder(project, str(spec_folder))
+
+    assert rel == "specs/s1"
+    assert UNRESOLVABLE in capsys.readouterr().err

Add the required ablation record to the test docstring.

State that removing except (OSError, RuntimeError) in src/bmad_loop/cli.py::_resolve_restore_patch must fail this test because main() emits only the generic error, without cannot canonicalize the restore patch path.

…t root

test_relativize_spec_folder_survives_unresolvable_project_root only injects
the resolve failure into the project root. A regression that restored
raw.resolve() on the spec-folder side would still pass it. Add the mirrored
case CodeRabbit flagged.

Rebased onto main (conflicted with #648's changelog entry, resolved by keeping both). Also added the spec-folder regression case CodeRabbit flagged, since the existing test only injected the resolve failure into the project root.
