The SDK records a bare, upgrade-stable binary name only when a PATH entry
realpath-matches the execPath it is handed. From the module-relative
entrypoint that can only succeed under npm, which symlinks its bin entry
straight at it; a wrapper-based install never can, because a script that
invokes a file does not resolve to that file. So every wrapper install --
Nix, a shim, a generated .cmd -- recorded an absolute path that moves on
upgrade, and a session-start hook that cannot execute fails silently.
`setup hooks` now resolves gitea-axi on PATH itself and hands that
location to the SDK, so the bare name is recorded. A candidate qualifies
only if it resolves to the running entrypoint -- by realpath for a
symlink, or by naming it in its text for a wrapper, following the chain,
since a Nix install is two hops. A same-named binary that is some other
program does not qualify, and the absolute entrypoint path stands as the
fallback exactly as before.
The related defect on the same line goes too: the SDK recognises its hook
by finding the marker inside the recorded command, so an entrypoint path
without "gitea-axi" in it made a re-run append a duplicate rather than
update in place. `setup hooks` now prunes duplicates by matching the
exact command it records, which is independent of that command's shape
and cannot mistake another tool's hook for its own.
With the coupling gone, package.nix no longer renames its build tree; the
fast tier runs from /build/source and its idempotency test passes there.
The help text's instruction to re-run hooks after an upgrade is deleted,
having become false.
Verified against the built Nix binary and a globally npm-installed pack:
both record the bare name, both fall back to the absolute path when the
name is absent, an impostor on PATH is refused, and re-runs leave one
entry. Decision recorded as ADR 0019; ADR 0009's addendum is amended.
Resolve the nix-flake-packaging spec's open verification item by observation
rather than inference, and act on the unfavourable answer.
`resolvePortableHookCommand` in axi-sdk-js returns the bare binary name only
when a PATH entry realpath-matches the entrypoint. npm symlinks its bin entry
straight at dist/main.js and satisfies that; Nix installs a generated wrapper
script whose realpath is the wrapper, so the absolute store path is recorded
instead. Verified by probing the SDK with both install shapes and by driving
the flake-built binary against a temporary HOME.
The path is content-addressed, so it moves on every rebuild and is eventually
collected, and a session-start hook that cannot execute fails silently. The
mitigation is documentation, per the decision recorded when the item was
opened: the setup help text now says to re-run `setup hooks` after an upgrade.
How the setup command constructs the hook is deliberately unchanged. Preferring
the bare name is the right answer for every wrapper-based install, not a Nix
special case, so it belongs in a successor task with its own ADR alongside the
related `isManagedHook` substring defect. package.nix's postUnpack rename
therefore stays; its comment no longer promises this task will remove it.
Add the design record for distributing gitea-axi as a Nix flake: a
package, a development shell, and a checks output, plus the continuous
integration changes that come with it.
ADR 0018 records the wrapper's deference to the operator's own `git` and
`tea` — the reverse of the hermetic instinct, chosen because `tea`
refreshes OAuth tokens in place and so must not have two versions
mutating one credential store.
Also records the `tea`-is-still-a-runtime-dependency gotcha, which ADR
0002's title obscures.
