Summary

  • New uloop verify-project checks a Unity project's files without starting Unity and reports missing or orphaned .meta files, invalid or duplicate GUIDs, leftover merge conflict markers, and a broken Packages/manifest.json.
  • It works whether Unity is open or closed, and in projects that do not have the uloop package installed.

User Impact

  • Before: these problems only showed up when Unity opened the project, and by then Unity had already given assets new GUIDs or deleted orphaned .meta files, which breaks references in ways that cannot be undone. An agent that had just moved, copied, or merged assets had no way to check before committing.
  • After: agents (and people) can run uloop verify-project after asset changes and before committing. The JSON report says what is wrong, where, and how to fix it while the old GUIDs still exist. Exit code 0 means nothing was found; 1 means problems were found or the check could not run.

Checks

Findings are listed in this order, then by path, with at most 100 per check (FindingCount and CountsByCheck still count all of them, and Truncated says when some were left out).

Check Reported when
CONFLICT_MARKER A merge conflict block (<<<<<<<, =======, >>>>>>>) is left in a file. Only the first block of each file is reported; a file with a NUL byte in its first 8000 bytes is treated as binary and skipped.
MANIFEST_INVALID Packages/manifest.json is missing, is not a JSON object, has a malformed dependencies object, or has a file: dependency that does not point to a package folder.
GUID_DUPLICATE Two or more .meta files declare the same GUID.
GUID_INVALID A .meta file has no valid guid: line (32 hexadecimal characters, not all zero).
META_MISSING An asset has no .meta file next to it.
META_ORPHAN A .meta file has no matching asset.

What is scanned

  • .meta files under Assets/, under every embedded package (a real folder directly under Packages/ with a package.json file), and under every local package the manifest lists as file: (relative paths are resolved from Packages/). A folder inside another of these is scanned once: by the enclosing scan when that scan reaches it, and as its own root when it sits below a hidden, plugin, or linked folder the enclosing scan does not enter. Scanning it twice would count the same .meta file twice and report it as a duplicate GUID.
  • Unity's hidden names are skipped and need no .meta file: names starting with ., names ending with ~, cvs in any case, and files with a .tmp extension in any case.
  • Plugin folders ending in .bundle, .framework, .xcframework, .plugin, or .androidlib (any case) need their own .meta file, but nothing inside them is scanned. Unity imports such a folder as one plugin, and whether the files inside have .meta files depends on how the plugin was built.
  • Symbolic links need a .meta file but are never followed.
  • A .meta file pairs with its asset by exact name, letter case included, so the result is the same on every OS. A folder with that name is an ordinary folder, not the asset's .meta file.
  • Conflict markers are searched in every file of those folders (.meta files included), every file under ProjectSettings/, and Packages/manifest.json and Packages/packages-lock.json.
  • Without --project-path, the project the working directory is in is chosen before any Unity-shaped folder below it, so a test fixture inside the project is not checked instead.

Out of scope

  • GUID collisions with packages in Library/PackageCache
  • Choosing which checks run, or a search depth option
  • Fixing anything automatically
  • Looking at git tracking state, or checking the Unity version
  • Differences in Unicode normalization
  • An absolute file: path into the project that is written through a symbolic link

Changes

  • A new dispatcher-internal package walks the project and builds the report behind a single entry point.
  • The dispatcher answers verify-project in its own process, the same way as launch and compile-check, and keeps it out of the V2 project hand-off. It appears in --help and list --names, and among the suggestions for a mistyped command.
  • A new uloop-verify-project skill explains each check with how to fix it, and verify-project --help ends by pointing to it. Both READMEs list it (20 bundled skills) together with a CLI example, and the generated .claude / .agents copies are included.
  • Shared release input stamps are refreshed because cli/common changed.

Compatibility

  • No protocol version bump: the command never talks to Unity.
  • minimumDispatcherVersion is not raised: the Unity package never calls this command, so nothing in the package needs a newer dispatcher. With an older dispatcher, uloop verify-project is an unknown command, and the skill tells the agent to run uloop update.

Verification

  • go test ./... in all four Go modules, plus golangci-lint fmt --diff, go vet, golangci-lint run with both the lint and complexity configurations, scripts/check-file-length.sh, check-skill-size, and scripts/sync-tool-docs.sh --check. Locally, two existing tests that need /tmp and a Unix socket were skipped because the local sandbox denies them; CI runs them.
  • Coverage: the new package is at 94.9%, and the dispatcher module stays at its baseline (94.2%).
  • Removing individual guards (binary detection, the hexadecimal check, ordering by path, the Packages folder check, the Packages listing error, parent-first project lookup) makes a test fail.
  • The first Windows CI run found three problems, now fixed. The order test relied on an absolute path sorting before Assets/, which holds on Unix only, so it now uses a package folder inside the project. A regular file named Packages did not make reading it fail on Windows, so the run reported a missing manifest instead of stopping; Packages, when present, must now be a folder before anything is read. A Windows directory listing can report a stale modification time for a folder, so the test that a run writes nothing compares folder times on the other platforms only.
  • Review found that a local package inside another root but below a hidden, plugin, or linked folder was never scanned, because it was dropped as covered by a scan that never enters such folders. Nested roots are now dropped only when the enclosing scan reaches them, using the same rule the scan follows; tests cover each kind of folder, and forcing the rule to always reach or never reach makes them or the existing nested-root test fail.
  • Manual runs with a development build:
    1. This repository: exit 1 with a single META_ORPHAN for Packages/src/Editor/FirstPartyTools/ReplayInput/Application.meta. The folder is empty, so git does not track it, but its .meta file is committed. That is a real leftover and is left for a separate change. 2539 .meta files under Assets and Packages/src were checked in about 1.0 s (wall clock) on an Apple Silicon Mac, and git status was the same before and after the run.
    2. A fixture with one of each problem: exit 1, six findings, one per check, in the order above.
    3. A clean fixture: exit 0, No problems found in 1 .meta file.
    4. verify-project --help prints the usage and the skill pointer (exit 0); verify-project --bogus fails with INVALID_ARGUMENT and empty stdout (exit 1); uloop --help lists verify-project under Native commands.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 608dd

The previously reported metadata-pairing error is fixed. The command is mergeable after normal checks.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 608dd

The new check is read-only, but its link-handling protections are incomplete. A project can redirect some reads outside its expected folders or into a non-terminating input, potentially preventing verification from finishing. Exposure is limited to the permissions of the person or automation running the command.

Retained concerns

  • Low · security · inferred: The no-follow and regular-file protections do not cover every scan entry point. Assets and ProjectSettings roots are accepted through link-following validation, while Packages/manifest.json is read directly before any type check. A project-supplied manifest symlink to a non-terminating source can stall or exhaust verification instead of returning an error verdict; linked roots can also redirect enumeration into caller-readable directories.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The independently attackable scope is an invocation over an attacker-influenced local project. Reads use the caller’s filesystem permissions, including supported external package locations. The inspected path does not grant additional privileges or execute project content; its exposed outputs are paths, GUIDs, locations, counts, and fixed diagnostic messages.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — On a Unix-like host, a project author could supply Packages/manifest.json as a symlink to a readable non-terminating source such as /dev/zero. The direct ReadFile occurs before JSON validation or conflict-scan type checks and can consume memory without reaching a report. This is a source-derived attack path, not an executed exploit. Root-directory links separately permit redirected enumeration despite the general no-follow guidance.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Regular-file checks protect metadata and package conflict scans, and descendant links are not traversed. Counterevidence confirms that local file: packages may intentionally cross links and project boundaries, and linked Packages roots are explicitly accepted. Thus the verifier is not a project-root sandbox; the retained concern is inconsistent entry-point handling, not intentional external-package support.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Ordinary read failures stop verification and return a nonzero status, while opened conflict-scan files are closed on return. However, the verification handler receives no cancellation context, and the direct manifest read has no local size or time bound, leaving non-terminating input outside those failure-containment mechanisms.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Define root-level link exceptions explicitly while preserving legitimate external-package support. Apply consistent no-follow and regular-file handling to manifest validation, and consider bounded reads or cancellation so hostile inputs terminate with an error rather than preventing a verdict.

Exclude symlinked local package roots from scanning.

When a manifest file: path is outside the project but links to the project or an ancestor, the lexical containment check passes. os.Stat follows the link, and a regular target package.json lets resolveLocalPackage return it as a scan root. Run scans that root directly, so the verifier can scan the project or ancestor and report false findings, including duplicate GUIDs. Skip this symlinked root instead of adding it to the scan roots.

Unity only notices missing or orphaned .meta files, broken GUIDs, leftover
merge conflict blocks, and a broken Packages/manifest.json when it opens the
project, and by then it has already reassigned GUIDs or deleted .meta files,
so references break in ways that cannot be undone. projectverify reads the
project the way Unity would on its next import and reports those problems
without writing anything, so a later command can run it while Unity is
closed or open.

- Run is the only entry point; roots, the .meta scan, and the conflict
  marker search stay unexported behind it, and the tests drive Run only.
- Assets, embedded packages, and local file: packages are scanned once
  each, with a folder nested in another root dropped so its .meta files
  are not counted twice and reported as duplicate GUIDs.
- Names Unity hides, plugin folders Unity imports as one asset, and
  symbolic links follow Unity's rules, and pairing is exact-case so the
  result is the same on every OS.
- Allow the new internal package in the dispatcher module boundary test.
The project check has to run while Unity is closed and in projects that do
not have the uloop package, so the dispatcher answers it in its own process
instead of forwarding it to a pinned project runner. It is also kept out of
the V2 project hand-off, because the check does not depend on the package
version at all.

- Register verify-project as a visible dispatcher-owned native command, so
  it shows in help, list --names, and completion, and update the tests that
  list every native command.
- Resolve the enclosing project before searching child folders, so a
  Unity-shaped test fixture inside the project is not checked instead.
- Print the report on stdout and exit 1 when it has findings; argument and
  resolution failures go to stderr as error envelopes with empty stdout.
Agents learn when to run a command and how to read its result from its
skill; --help can only show the usage. The skill explains each check
together with how to fix it, what is and is not scanned, and the report
fields, and verify-project --help now ends by pointing to it.

- Map verify-project to its skill in the help guidance table, and check
  that the help output names it.
- List the skill and a direct CLI example in both READMEs, and add the
  generated .claude and .agents copies.
- Restamp the shared release inputs, since cli/common changed.
The order test placed a local package outside the project. Its absolute
display path starts with "/" on Unix but with a drive letter on Windows,
so the expected order only held on Unix and the Windows CI failed. A
package folder inside the project, named to sort before Assets, has a
relative display path that sorts the same way on every OS while still
being scanned after Assets, so the test still fails when findings are no
longer sorted by path.
A regular file named Packages stopped the run on macOS and Linux only
because reading it as a folder failed there. On Windows the same read,
and the manifest path below it, came back empty or missing instead, so
the run reported a missing manifest and succeeded. Run's precondition
now requires Packages, when present, to be a folder, so every reader of
Packages can rely on it regardless of the OS and of the order the
readers run in. A symbolic link to a folder is still accepted.

The test now expects the precondition's own message, so it fails on
every OS when the check is removed.
On Windows a directory listing can report a stale modification time for
a folder, so the test that a run writes nothing saw folder times move
although no file changed. Folder times are now compared on the other
platforms only; paths, modes, and file times and contents are still
compared everywhere, and the run does not branch by OS.
A local package folder inside another root was always dropped as already
covered, but the outer scan never enters hidden folders, plugin folders,
or linked folders. A package below one of them was therefore never
checked, and the run reported success without listing it.

Nested roots are now dropped only when the outer scan walks all the way
down to them. The rule for which folders the scan enters lives in one
function that both the scan and the root list use, so the two cannot
disagree and scan a folder twice or not at all.
Swallowing a failure to list Packages would silently skip every embedded
package and still report success. Packages being a folder is now a
precondition, so no other test reaches that listing error any more.

The new test leaves the folder searchable and only removes the right to
list it. With every permission removed, reading the manifest below it
would fail as well and keep the test passing even if the listing error
were swallowed.
A folder named like an asset's .meta file counted as that asset's .meta
file, so the asset was never reported as missing one. Only entries that
are not folders are .meta files; a folder with that name is an ordinary
folder, so the asset is now reported as META_MISSING.
The rebased commits kept main's stamps where both sides had changed
them. The shared inputs now combine this branch's command and skill
registration with main's tool catalog change, so regenerate both stamps
with scripts/stamp-release-inputs.sh instead of merging the hashes.
