📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The repository adds shared editor, formatter, and linter configuration. It adds Make targets for formatting and linting, integrates those targets into CI, updates repository guidance, and applies formatting-only changes to existing files.

Changes

Formatting and linting setup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Formatter and linter configuration
.editorconfig, .golangci.yml, flake.nix, treefmt.toml, .gitignore
Adds shared editor settings, golangci-lint and treefmt configuration, formatter packages, and an ignored path for fetched configuration tracking.
Make formatting and linting targets
Makefile, common.mk, example/Makefile
Adds config bootstrapping, fmt and lint targets, shell file handling, and self-update cleanup. The repository Makefile includes common.mk, and the example Makefile removes its local fmt and lint targets.
CI, documentation, and formatting updates
.github/workflows/*, .github/actions/setup-nix/action.yml, .github/pull_request_template.md, README.md, docs/*, scripts/*.sh
Adds CI checks for formatting and linting, documents the shared setup, and reformats workflow, documentation, and shell-script content. The described edits to existing scripts and workflows do not change behavior.

Nice direction, and it fits where dev-kit is heading (reusable governance workflows in #41, go.mk split in #39). But three things would break make lint / make fmt in consumer repos at their next DEV_KIT_VERSION bump, so I'd hold the merge until they're sorted:

  1. lint now always runs shellcheck, which exits 3 with "No files specified." in any repo without tracked .sh files. That blocks every commit through the default lint pre-commit hook.
  2. fmt/lint merge into targets consumers already define (Solar, apiserver-kit, dependency-controller), so repo-wide treefmt --ci is switched on silently, with no opt-out. Lint goes red on formatting drift nobody introduced.
  3. The formatters come from the dev-kit flake, which consumers pin separately from DEV_KIT_VERSION. A Renovate Makefile bump without the flake bump gives treefmt: command not found. (That drift is what opendefensecloud/renovate-config#18 addresses.)

Details and smaller points inline. Also worth a look: lint.yml formats twice (make fmt + diff-check, then treefmt --ci again inside make lint), and the PR's yamlfmt pass reflowed a few files outside the feature (renovate-auto-approve.yml if:, the setup-nix description) into long single lines.

Heads-up on ordering: #41 conflicts with this PR in one README hunk (the REPO_* table), and whichever lands second needs a treefmt pass over the other's files. Happy to rebase #41 after this one.

## What
Closes opendefensecloud/odd-internal#93.

## Why
To not run into
opendefensecloud/odd-internal#87 again.

## Testing
Applied the change temporarily to the local `common.mk` in apiserver-kit
and ran `make lint` with both non-compliant and fully compliant headers.

Example output for a non-compliant header:
```
 % make lint
shellcheck $(git ls-files '*\.sh')
make addlicense-check license=apache comment='BWI GmbH and apiserver-kit contributors' pattern='*\.go'
make addlicense extraargs='-check'
Unexpected license header, expected 'Copyright BWI GmbH and apiserver-kit contributors' and 'SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0':
  apiserver/builder.go
make[1]: *** [common.mk:171: addlicense-check] Error 1
make: *** [Makefile:37: lint-no-golangci] Error 2
```

Note: This may break CI in consuming repos with non-compliant headers,
so a version bump may be warranted.

## Notes for reviewers
Probably better merge before
#34.

## Checklist
- [x] ~Tests added/updated~ n/a
- [x] No breaking changes (or upgrade path documented above)
- [x] Readable commit history (squashed and cleaned up as desired)
- [x] AI code review considered and comments resolved

47-51: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Align the README with the common.mk defaults.

common.mk already derives TREEFMT_ARGS from go.mod. It adds --allow-missing-formatter when go.mod is absent. DEV_KIT_CONFIGS also omits .golangci.yml without go.mod.

The text at Lines 47-51 tells non-Go repositories to set both variables by hand. The table at Lines 85-86 lists an empty TREEFMT_ARGS default and a fixed DEV_KIT_CONFIGS default. Both are stale.

Document the conditional defaults. State that manual settings are only an override.

Also applies to: 85-86

Blocker: redirects apply left to right, so < marker 2>/dev/null reports the missing marker before stderr is redirected. More importantly, common.mk sets .SHELLFLAGS = -ec, which GNU Make also applies to $(shell): the failed redirect aborts the whole block, so .common.mk-version is never rewritten and the new common.mk is never downloaded. Every make then tries again and fails the same way, permanently in a repo that never fetches a config (all committed, or a non-Go repo with formatting off).

Repro:

SHELL := /usr/bin/env bash
.SHELLFLAGS = -ec
X := $(shell while read -r f; do :; done < .absent 2>/dev/null; touch reached)

→ reached is never created.

    if [ -f $(DEV_KIT_CONFIGS_MARKER) ]; then \
      while read -r f; do ...; done < $(DEV_KIT_CONFIGS_MARKER); \

Blocker: DEV_KIT_CONFIGS is now computed with $(wildcard) while common.mk is parsed — before the self-update $(shell) below runs the version-change cleanup and deletes the previously fetched files. If the new common.mk is byte-identical (a config-only release, or main → a tag on the same commit), make doesn't restart, and that run has neither a fetch rule nor an order-only prerequisite for the files it just deleted: treefmt fails without treefmt.toml, and golangci-lint silently runs with its defaults. Round one's static list didn't have this, because make checked existence when it ran the rule.

One option: make the decision in the recipe instead of at parse time, e.g. keep a static list and skip the fetch inside the rule when an override (.golangci.yaml, .treefmt.toml) exists.

With DEV_KIT_FORMATTING off, lint (line 270) still adds shellcheck and golangci-lint, and golangci-lint is order-only on all of DEV_KIT_CONFIGS. So in Solar (has .golangci.yaml, no .editorconfig/treefmt.toml, formatting off), make lint fetches .editorconfig and treefmt.toml as untracked files, and the next diff-check fails. Depending only on the .golangci.yml entry would keep "off" really off.

Nit: the hint nix flake update dev-kit doesn't help consumers whose flake input pins a tag (Solar on dev-kit/v2.1.0, ARC on v2.2.0) — it re-locks the same tag. Something like "bump the dev-kit tag in flake.nix to match DEV_KIT_VERSION" fits both. (opendefensecloud/renovate-config#20 will keep the two in one PR.)

Plain mdformat has no table support, so GFM tables are treated as paragraphs: cells get squashed while the | --- | separators stay padded (see docs/CONTRIBUTING.md, docs/NEW_REPO.md). Shipping it as mdformat.withPlugins (p: [ p.mdformat-gfm ]) in the flake would fix that.

The README still describes round one: "behave exactly as they did before" isn't true while lint adds shellcheck/golangci-lint and fetches configs (see the comment on common.mk:283), and lines 64 and 102 still tell non-Go repos to set TREEFMT_ARGS and narrow DEV_KIT_CONFIGS by hand, which now overrides the auto-detection.

Thanks for the second round, this is a clear step forward: shellcheck, TREEFMT_ARGS, the order-only prerequisites, the self-update detection, the release-drafter block and the .golangci.yml cleanup are all fixed, and the opt-in and marker file address the two biggest points from round one.

Two things introduced in this round would still hit consumers at their next DEV_KIT_VERSION bump, so I'd like to see those fixed before merging:

  1. A version bump can get stuck (common.mk:371, also CodeRabbit's finding). With .SHELLFLAGS = -ec, the failed redirect when .common.mk-configs doesn't exist aborts the whole self-update $(shell) — reproduced with GNU Make 4.4.1. That's every repo that has never fetched a config, i.e. most consumers right after rollout.
  2. Configs can be missing for one run (common.mk:197). DEV_KIT_CONFIGS is computed with $(wildcard) before the cleanup deletes the fetched files.

Details inline, plus two smaller points (formatting "off" isn't fully off, and the formatters rewrite >- blocks and tables) and the README, which still describes round one.
