Follow-up to #351, as requested.

Verified locally: clean on the current tree (10 scripts plus 2 launchers); exits 1 when a violating script is added. Once #371 lands, docs/method/ci.md gains this step.

scripts/ci/shellcheck.sh checks every tracked shell script (by .sh extension or sh/bash shebang) with shellcheck -x, then installs the hook launchers into a throwaway repository and checks those too, since they exist only inside an installed hooks directory. The quality job runs it. Verified locally: clean on the current tree; exits 1 when a violating script is added. ReplaceRange proof locks refreshed for the new ci.yml bytes (toolchain-lock file hash; build-lock toolchain hash, closure entry, and closure digest).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Quality Assurance

    • Added continuous integration checks for shell scripts and generated pre-commit and pre-push hook launchers.
    • Builds now fail when shell scripts cannot be found or do not pass ShellCheck validation.
    • Reports the number of scripts and hook launchers checked during validation.
  • Documentation

    • Updated project change documentation to record the expanded shell-script quality checks.

Walkthrough

The quality job now runs a ShellCheck script. The script checks tracked shell files and generated pre-commit and pre-push launchers. ReplaceRange proof locks were updated for the changed workflow.

Changes

CI ShellCheck Coverage

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shell script and hook checks
scripts/ci/shellcheck.sh
The script finds tracked shell files, runs ShellCheck with external-source support, and fails if it finds no shell scripts. It creates a temporary Git repository, installs generated pre-commit and pre-push launchers, checks both launchers, and removes the repository on exit.
Quality job and proof locks
.github/workflows/ci.yml, CHANGELOG.md, edict/replace-range/edict.build-lock.json, edict/replace-range/edict.toolchain-lock.json
The quality job runs the script after npm run quality. The changelog records the coverage. The ReplaceRange proof locks update workflow-related hashes and digests.

Possibly related issues

  • Issue 296: The PR refreshes ReplaceRange proof locks, including the workflow hash, within the artifact boundary described by the issue.
Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 902eb

A future tracked file with a non-shell shebang mentioning sh or bash could fail the quality job. Tighten interpreter detection; the current tree has no such file.

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 902eb

The change adds static validation without demonstrating broader CI authority or application exposure. Hook generation is confined to a disposable repository. The workflow’s implicit token-permission configuration predates this PR, but remains a security consideration.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated execution scope remains the existing quality-job runner and checkout. Adding the installer call introduces another checkout-controlled executable, but no new job authority, deployment destination, or cross-service credential access is established by the change.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — The retained workflow security-misconfiguration finding remains part of the assessment, but its missing explicit permissions condition predates this PR. The unchanged event and job configuration, together with existing checkout-controlled execution, does not demonstrate a newly privileged attacker path. Effective inherited token permissions remain unknown.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — For installer execution, global and system Git configuration are disabled and the current directory is the temporary repository. The installer derives its hook directory from that repository and checks conflicting hook-path configuration. Generated hook execution remains deferred launcher content, rather than an action taken by this validation flow.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Unique temporary directories isolate repeated and concurrent invocations. An EXIT trap removes temporary state after ordinary success or failure, including a partially completed installation. Uncatchable termination or interruption during temporary-directory assignment can leave scratch state behind; the inspected flow does not establish a resulting modification to the real repository’s hooks.

Brings in #372 (drops the direct MCP SDK declaration). The ReplaceRange
proof locks are recomputed for the combined tree: the toolchain lock now
pins the post-#372 package.json and package-lock.json bytes and this
branch's ci.yml bytes, and the build lock's toolchain-lock hash, ci.yml
closure entry, and closure digest are recomputed with the algorithm in
tests/assert-build-output.mjs (every closure entry verified against the
tree). CHANGELOG keeps every entry.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

The hardcoded launcher count can drift from the actual loop in the installer.

The message hardcodes "2 generated launchers". The installer loops over pre-commit pre-push. If a hook is added, this output stays wrong and the new launcher is unchecked. Derive the list once and reuse it for generation checks, the shellcheck call, and the message.

…line

The discovery predicate matched bash or sh anywhere on the first line, so '#!/usr/bin/env python # sh' or '#!/opt/bash-tools/python' would have reached ShellCheck. shebang_interpreter now extracts the interpreter token, looking through env and its options (-S, NAME=value), and only bash or sh qualify. Checked against eleven shebang forms (python/node with a trailing 'sh' comment, a bash-named directory, /bin/sh, env bash, env -S bash -e, env FOO=1 sh, dash, '#! /bin/bash', no shebang, bare env); the tree still yields the same 10 scripts and 2 launchers. Reported by CodeRabbit on #373.

Comment thread scripts/ci/shellcheck.sh Outdated
Codex found that '#!/usr/bin/env -S -u FOO bash' and '#!/usr/bin/env -S -C /tmp bash' resolved to FOO and tmp, and '--split-string=bash' to nothing, so such scripts would have been skipped. env_command now consumes option operands (-u, -C, -P, attached or separate, and their long forms), unpacks a split string (-S, -Sxxx, --split-string=), skips NAME=value, and honours --. The functions move to scripts/ci/lib/shebang.sh, sourced by shellcheck.sh, so spec/ci-shellcheck-shebang.spec.mjs can pin 22 shebang forms through bash without ShellCheck installed. The spec fails against the previous implementation (env -u FOO sh -> FOO) and passes now.

Codex found two more gaps: '-S -u "FOO BAR" bash' split the quoted operand (giving 'BAR"'), '-S "bash" -e' kept the quotes, and '-S -- FOO=1 bash' returned 'FOO=1' because -- ends only the options, not the NAME=value assignments. split_words now splits like env -S (single quotes literal; double quotes and bare text honour backslash escapes), used for the shebang line and for attached split strings; after -- the parser keeps skipping assignments, and a bare - is treated as -i. The spec gains six cases and fails against the previous library ('BAR"').

…lating env

Three review rounds each found another GNU env parsing case (option operands, quoted and escaped split strings, clustered options) that made an extensionless shell script silently skip ShellCheck. Emulating env is the source of those silent skips, so the check now fails closed: shebang_interpreter classifies plain shebangs (#!/path/interp, #!/usr/bin/env [NAME=value]... interp) and returns status 2 for any env shebang that uses options, quotes, or escapes; the driver refuses such tracked files with a message naming them and the fix (a plain shebang or a .sh extension). No tracked file uses such a form. split_words and env_command are removed. The spec pins 19 shebang forms and adds a driver test in a fixture repository; both fail against the previous scripts and pass now.

@coderabbitai review

Your CHANGES_REQUESTED review 5581155466 (on 902eb26) had one finding, the shebang interpreter predicate in scripts/ci/shellcheck.sh. It was addressed in later commits and the thread is resolved: the check now classifies plain shebangs and refuses env shebangs it cannot classify (a4cf409). Codex reviewed a4cf409 with no findings and all 14 checks pass. Please review the current head so your decision reflects it.

The shebang-classification finding against 902eb26 was addressed in subsequent commits, and CodeRabbit acknowledged the original fix. Final head a4cf409 classifies supported plain shebangs and fails CI on unsupported env forms. The finding's thread is resolved, Codex reviewed this exact head with no findings, and all 14 checks pass.

The quality job now runs scripts/ci/shellcheck.sh after the quality gate. ci.md describes what it checks (tracked .sh files, bash/sh shebangs directly or through a plain env, and the generated hook launchers), that env shebangs with options, quotes, or escapes fail the check, and where the classifier and its spec live. It also corrects the local-check line: npm run check runs build, tests, and the quality gate, while ShellCheck runs in CI.
