Fix Skill-Cleanup Ordering, Quoting, and Ignored-Path Gaps - #940
Merged
Conversation
Four real CodeRabbit findings on PR 936, all confirmed: - The merge-and-release preflight's 'git status --porcelain' misses gitignored paths, while skills_install.py's shutil.copytree() has no ignore filter, so a stray gitignored file could pass the preflight and still ride into the install. Widened to --untracked-files=all --ignored. - Cleanup fast-forwarded the base clone to develop before removing the promotion worktree, backwards: verified empirically that git refuses to check out a branch already checked out in another worktree. Reordered. - git worktree remove appeared with no path argument in the defensive sweep, git requires one. Named it explicitly. - Branch names appeared unquoted across six cleanup commands in both drive-pr and merge-and-release, a valid ref can start with - or carry a shell metacharacter. Quoted throughout, with -- where it helps. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Several edited Markdown command snippets have unclosed/incorrect inline-code spans and git ls-remote still lacks an end-of-options marker, which can misrender the instructions and break for branches starting with -.

Pull request overview
Updates the drive-pr and merge-and-release Skill documentation (and their generated distributions) to address cleanup ordering and branch-quoting safety gaps identified in PR #936, plus tighten the hub skills refresh preflight against gitignored files.
Changes:
- Expand the hub release-preflight check to include untracked and ignored paths in
git status --porcelain. - Reorder promotion worktree cleanup steps to remove the worktree before checking out
developin the base clone. - Quote branch arguments more consistently in documented cleanup commands, including adding explicit worktree-path usage for
git worktree remove.

Two more CodeRabbit findings, both confirmed: - 'gh pr list --head' matches by prefix (gh's own --help shows --head "typo" as its example), and headRepositoryOwner.login alone does not identify the source repository, only the owner. Requested headRefName and headRepository instead of headRepositoryOwner, asserted headRefName equals the branch exactly and headRepository.nameWithOwner equals owner/repo. - Double-quoted placeholder interpolation does not stop $() or backtick command substitution the way a genuinely separate subprocess argument does. Clarified in both skills that every <branch>/<worktree-path> placeholder means a real argument, never text built into an executed shell command string. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
CodeRabbit finding, confirmed empirically: 'git ls-remote --heads origin "<branch>"' tail-matches rather than exact-matches. A scratch repo with branches 'topic/x' and 'other/topic/x' returned both for a query of 'topic/x'; the fully-qualified 'refs/heads/topic/x' form returned exactly the one. Applied to both occurrences (drive-pr and merge-and-release). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Copilot review, confirmed: --head matches exactly, not by prefix. Tested directly against this repo with gh 2.97.0: querying a bare prefix of PR 940's real branch name returned nothing. Reworded the headRefName check as cheap defense-in-depth rather than a claimed workaround for partial-match behavior that doesn't happen. Also verified and refuted a suppressed finding claiming 'git push origin --delete --' mistreats -- as a literal refspec: a live delete against a scratch remote (git push origin --delete -- feature-y) correctly deleted the named branch, exit 0, no -- ref ever created. No change needed there. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

CodeRabbit finding, confirmed empirically: quoted variable expansion
("$branch") never re-triggers $() or backtick substitution even
when the value literally contains that text, since expansion is a
parse-time operation on command-line text, not a runtime scan of an
already-expanded value. The prior wording implied quoting itself was
insufficient, which is wrong. The actual hazard is a second round of
shell parsing (eval, sh -c), reworded to say exactly that.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
CodeRabbit's own scripted probe found this, verified independently:
'git ls-remote --heads origin -- "refs/heads/<branch>"' treats --
after origin as an additional ref pattern rather than an
end-of-options marker there, so a refs/heads/other/-- ref, if one
exists, is also matched. Moving -- before origin
('--heads -- origin "refs/heads/<branch>"') returns exactly the one
ref intended, confirmed against a scratch repo carrying both refs.

CodeRabbit finding, confirmed empirically: 'git rev-parse -- "<branch>"' treats the argument after -- as a path, not a revision, and never resolves a SHA at all (it echoes the arguments back literally rather than erroring, easy to miss). Verified: --verify combined with -- fails outright rather than silently. Dropped --, added --verify, and fully-qualified the ref, which needs no -- regardless since refs/heads/<branch> never itself starts with -. Verified against a ref created via update-ref (bypassing branch's own name validation, which refuses leading-dash names outright). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Re: the suppressed 'git rev-parse -- treats the argument after -- as a path' finding (merge-and-release:168, all three copies). Confirmed empirically: 'git rev-parse -- ""' never resolves a SHA, it echoes the arguments back literally rather than erroring. Fixed in d0bd51a: dropped --, added --verify (fails loudly rather than guessing), fully-qualified the ref, which needs no -- regardless since refs/heads/ never itself starts with -. |

CodeRabbit finding, confirmed empirically: a failed query (bad remote, network error) and a genuinely absent branch both print nothing to stdout, so reading 'empty' alone as 'branch gone' cannot tell them apart, only the exit code can. Verified: --exit-code gives exit 2 specifically for a real no-match, versus a different nonzero exit for a failed query. Reworded merge-and-release's check to name the tri-state explicitly (2 = gone, 0 = matched, anything else = stop and report). drive-pr's existing 'no match, don't delete' default was already safe either way, added --exit-code there too for the same diagnostic precision on a failure rather than a changed outcome.

only the remote branch. Keep the existing tip validation and failure handling

CodeRabbit finding, confirmed: 'Either way, the local branch tip must also match headRefOid' made local-branch verification unconditionally required, so an interrupted prior cleanup that already deleted the local branch and left only a stray remote one could never be recovered, the local rev-parse --verify would fail first and block the whole sweep from reaching the remote delete. Made both sides independently conditional on actually existing, neither blocks the other's cleanup on its own absence, matching the symmetry the tri-state ls-remote exit-code check already established for the remote side alone.

Fixes the still-valid half of #939 (closed as superseded on its other half, checkout-safety, already fixed more thoroughly on develop via #937/#940). Step 6's run-watch bound was a literal `<seconds>` template placeholder, never a runnable command as written. Filled in `2700` (45 minutes), matching `scripts/pr_review.py`'s own default (verified: `ap.add_argument("--timeout", type=int, default=2700, ...)`). 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Bug Fixes** * Release monitoring now uses a finite 45-minute timeout by default. * Supports equivalent bounded waiting across different host environments. * Clearly distinguishes timed-out runs from completed results and generated versions. * Reports failed, timed-out, or unstarted runs without automatically retrying. * **Documentation** * Updated release monitoring guidance to reflect the new timeout and reporting behavior. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Fixes four real findings CodeRabbit raised on PR #936's full promotion diff.
Declined two findings from the same review round, replied with evidence on PR #936 rather than silently acting or ignoring:
Edited both sources and regenerated all distributions with `scripts/build_dist.py`, verified with `--check` and `scripts/tests/test_build_dist.py`.
