Summary

Running thts sync or thts status from the thoughts repo itself (or from a git repo that contains it as thoughts/) printed "Current repository has thoughts/ but no mapping in the active state file" and fell back to the default profile. In the same place, thts uninit (and thts init --force) would RemoveAll the real thoughts content.

This PR adds detection for that case and makes each command behave in a sensible way there.

Changes

• Detection (internal/cmd/thoughts_repo.go)
  • The current directory counts as a thoughts repo when it is a profile's thoughtsRepo, a path inside it, or anywhere in the git repo that contains it.
  • If several profiles match, THTS_PROFILE wins, then the default profile, then the first name in sorted order.
  • A real project mapping with symlinked thoughts/ still wins.
• Commands
  • sync: prints Syncing thoughts repo (profile: X)..., uses the owning profile, and shows no warning.
  • status: shows a "Current Directory" table with the profile, the thoughts repo, and the git root (plus a note that sync commits the whole host repo).
  • edit: opens the thoughts repo.
  • add: writes to the owning profile's global directory and syncs that profile.
  • init / uninit: refuse with exit code 1 and a clear message. init agents / uninit agents are unchanged.
• Unchanged on purpose
  • When the thoughts repo is a subdirectory of a larger repo, git add -A still commits the whole host repo. Notes workflows rely on this, and status now shows it.
  • Config format, state, and HumanLayer compatibility.
• Docs
  • docs/guide.md: new "Running from the Thoughts Repo" section.
  • docs/troubleshooting.md: entries for the mismatch warning and the new refusal.

Testing

• Unit tests: matching rules (repo root, nested path, host repo, nested separate repo, project repo, profile priority, symlinked paths), plus edit and add resolution.
• Integration tests (TestThoughtsRepoContextCommands): status and sync from a standalone thoughts repo and from a host repo using a non-default profile. Also checks that init --force, uninit --force, and uninit --all --force refuse and leave the content in place.
• trunk check: no new issues.
• Existing failures on macOS (/var vs /private/var in config, fs, git, and cmd tests) are the same on main.
• Manual: verified in a real host repo layout (notes/main with thoughtsRepo: notes/main/thoughts) and checked that an initialized project repo's status is unchanged.BODY

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Commands run from a configured thoughts repository now use its associated profile, including when multiple profiles match.
  • thts edit opens the thoughts repository when run from it. Status displays repository details and warns when syncing may commit changes elsewhere in the containing Git repository.
• Bug Fixes
  • thts init and project setup removal commands now refuse to alter a thoughts repository’s real content.
• Documentation
  • Added guidance for running commands from a thoughts repository and troubleshooting configuration and setup issues.

Walkthrough

The CLI now detects configured thoughts repositories from the current directory. Repository commands use the matching profile, status reports the repository context, and init and uninit refuse project setup operations there.

Changes: Thoughts Repository Context

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Resolve thoughts repository context internal/cmd/thoughts_repo.go, internal/cmd/thoughts_repo_test.go	The resolver matches canonical paths and Git roots to configured profiles. It selects a match using THTS_PROFILE, then the default profile, then alphabetical order. Tests cover matching, rejection, and profile selection.
Route commands and report repository context internal/cmd/add.go, internal/cmd/edit.go, internal/cmd/status.go, internal/cmd/sync.go, internal/cmd/integration_test.go, internal/cmd/thoughts_repo_test.go, docs/guide.md, docs/troubleshooting.md	Edit, add, status, and sync use the resolved profile and repository context. Status reports the repository path and, for a host repository, its Git root and sync warning. Integration tests cover status and sync from standalone and host repositories.
Refuse project setup commands in thoughts repositories internal/cmd/thoughts_repo.go, internal/cmd/init.go, internal/cmd/uninit.go, internal/cmd/integration_test.go, docs/troubleshooting.md	Init and uninit refuse project setup operations in a resolved thoughts repository. Tests check the refusal and preservation of repository content.

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 7a860

Running thts uninit --force inside a host repo can still delete the real thoughts repo directory, including uncommitted notes, when that directory happens to contain the expected symlink names. The layout is uncommon, but the data loss is permanent. Base the refusal on whether the target is a configured thoughts repo before merging.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 43.75% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. 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 16 functions across 9 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

- Line 70: Update the removal guard in the uninit flow around
resolveThoughtsRepoContext and isValidThoughtsSetup so it independently refuses
removal when thoughtsDir resolves to a configured thoughts repository, even if
the symlink setup check passes or no state mapping exists. Preserve the existing
symlink validation and ensure the refusal applies to forced uninit as well.
