Summary

Addresses CodeRabbit review on #830 (merged before these landed):

  • Pre/post tree match for verification evidence (PreToolUse start fingerprint)
  • Strip GIT_DIR/GIT_WORK_TREE from fingerprint git subprocesses
  • Private temp index via tempfile + really-refresh before add
  • Submodule gap documented (recursive submodule hashing deferred)

Test plan

  • cargo build
  • cargo check --bin agentflare --tests

Made with Cursor

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Verification results are now associated with the code state present when verification began. Results are recorded as evidence only when the code state remains unchanged through completion, preventing results from being attributed to different code.
    • Verification tracking now recognizes supported shell tools and commands supplied through common command formats, providing more consistent tracking across verification runs.

Strip GIT_DIR/GIT_WORK_TREE, use a private temp index with refresh before
add, bind verification evidence to the pre-command tree via PreToolUse, and
document submodule fingerprint gap.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change captures the Git tree fingerprint before recognized shell verification commands run. Verification evidence now retains the end fingerprint only when it matches the captured start fingerprint. Tree fingerprinting also clears inherited Git path settings and uses a temporary directory for its copied index.

Changes

Verification tree evidence

Layer / File(s) Summary
Fingerprint and evidence contract
src/optimize/runtime.rs
SessionRecord adds an optional start fingerprint. Git fingerprinting removes inherited GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE settings and uses a temporary directory for its copied index. The evidence helper returns a fingerprint only when the start and end values match.
Capture the verification start tree
src/hook.rs
pre_tool_use recognizes shell tools and extracts commands from command, cmd, or script. It captures the current tree fingerprint when the command is classified as verification. Session initialization sets the new field to None.
Record and test verification evidence
src/hook_completion_gate.rs, src/optimize/runtime.rs
The completion gate records evidence using the captured start fingerprint and current end fingerprint. Runtime test fixtures initialize the new field, and tests cover matching, differing, and missing fingerprints.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 75981

The completion gate can accept verification for a tree that changed during the command, and inherited Git index settings can weaken freshness checks. Reject known mismatches and isolate the index lookup before merging.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Reject verification evidence when the fingerprints differ.

For a successful command such as cargo test &amp;&amp; sed -i 's/old/new/' src/main.rs, the start and end fingerprints differ. This branch returns None. src/hook_completion_gate.rs still records passed: true, and evidence_fresh at Line 285 accepts that evidence for 30 minutes. The completion gate therefore accepts verification of an untested tree.

Keep a known mismatch distinct from an unavailable fingerprint. When the fingerprints differ, discard the verification evidence or mark it as failed. Add a test that checks has_fresh_passing_verification after this mismatch, not only the helper result.

Failing checks: clippy.

Please investigate and push a fix.

Restore #[test] on evidence_fresh_same_fingerprint and remove duplicate

🟠 Major · Clear inherited GIT_INDEX_FILE before resolving the index path. · runtime.rs:246-247

src/optimize/runtime.rs:246-247
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Clear inherited GIT_INDEX_FILE before resolving the index path.

The initial run(..., None) call inherits this variable. Git documents that rev-parse --git-path index honors GIT_INDEX_FILE, so an inherited value can redirect real to an alternate index. If that path does not exist, the copy fails and fingerprinting returns None; verification evidence can then use timestamp freshness. (git-scm.com)

Remove GIT_INDEX_FILE before the initial lookup. The later call can set it to the temporary index.

Proposed fix
         cmd.env_remove("GIT_DIR");
         cmd.env_remove("GIT_WORK_TREE");
+        cmd.env_remove("GIT_INDEX_FILE");
         cmd.args(args);
