Summary

  • A hot-reload apply response now says in one field, Outcome, whether the edits of the requested files are live, and counts every outcome kind in its own field.
  • After a fallback compile succeeds, the response no longer contradicts itself: Outcome becomes ReplacedByCompile, AutoRefreshHeld turns false, and the stale "Auto Refresh is held" sentence is removed from Message.

User Impact

  • Before: Success was true even when nothing was applied, so telling whether an edit took effect meant combining PatchedTotal, ActivePatchTotal, CompileFallback and Message. The Added, Skipped and Failed counts existed only inside the Message sentence, so agents guessed fields such as AddedTotal or SkippedTotal that did not exist. After a successful fallback compile, Message still told the caller to run uloop compile to release a hold the compile had already released.
  • After: read Outcome first; the totals are plain numbers; a successful fallback compile leaves a response that matches the Editor. The output reference opens with a short "Is my edit live?" section.

Changes

New response fields (apply runs)

Field Meaning
Outcome Applied, PartiallyApplied, NothingApplied, NothingToApply, or Failed; ReplacedByCompile once the CLI's fallback compile succeeded. Omitted on --status, --revert-all and validation failures.
SkippedTotal, AddedTotal, FailedTotal, AlreadyActiveTotal, StaleTotal Methods[] rows of that Kind, sibling rows included, as in PatchedTotal. 0 on --status, --revert-all and validation failures.
AutoRefreshHoldMessage The hold sentence this run appended to Message when it armed the hold; omitted otherwise.

How Outcome is decided

Rows of sibling files the run re-applied on its own are left out, the same split the message already uses; a Failed row counts wherever it is, because Success already turns false for it.

Rows of the requested files Outcome
Any Failed method or introduced-type row (siblings included) Failed
Something live (Patched / Added / AlreadyActive methods, Introduced / AlreadyActive types), nothing Skipped Applied
Something live and something Skipped PartiallyApplied
Nothing live, something Skipped NothingApplied
Nothing live, nothing Skipped (all unchanged, no method bodies, or only Stale rows) NothingToApply
A fallback compile then succeeded (written by the CLI) ReplacedByCompile

AlreadyActive counts as live because the earlier patch is still running. Stale counts as neither: it is what is left of a deleted method, not the outcome of an edit, and StaleTotal reports it. A run whose requested rows were all applied can still request a fallback compile for a retried sibling's Skipped row; the reference says so.

The project runner after a fallback compile

  • Compile succeeded: Outcome is set to ReplacedByCompile (added even when the package sent none), AutoRefreshHeld is set to false when the response has it (never added), and " " + AutoRefreshHoldMessage is removed from the end of Message before the existing compile sentence is appended. The runner keeps no copy of the sentence; it removes exactly what the Editor reported. AutoRefreshHoldMessage stays as the record of what was removed.
  • Compile failed: Outcome, AutoRefreshHeld and Message stay as the reload reported them.
  • Older package without the new fields: Outcome is still added; Message only gets the compile sentence.
  • An older CLI passes the new fields through unchanged, so after its fallback compile Outcome keeps the reload's value. The fields are additive, so the protocol version does not change.
  • ActivePatchTotal, ActiveIntroducedTypeTotal and AddedFieldTotal keep the reload's figures; the reference says the totals and Methods[] describe the reload that ran before the compile and that --status reports the state after it.

Not changed, on purpose

  • The meaning of Success: callers and tests rely on it, and Outcome answers a different question beside it.
  • The existing Message sentences: about twenty tests pin them. The only Message change is the runner removing the hold sentence after a successful fallback compile.
  • The overlap between Warnings and Methods[].Reason: many tests read Warnings, and the fallback note picks its pointer from whether Warnings is empty.
  • No timing breakdown and no new CLI parameter. A parameter would change the tool catalog and the shared release inputs.

Verification

  • Unity EditMode, run locally one at a time: uloop run-tests --filter-type regex --filter-value 'HotReloadToolTests|HotReloadApplyOutcomeTests|HotReloadIntroducedTypeResponseTests|HotReloadDefaultFilesTests|HotReloadCompileFallbackDeciderTests' --timeout-seconds 1500 passed 164 of 164, and HotReloadCompileFallbackE2ETests, outside that pattern, passed 2 of 2. After the review additions below, HotReloadApplyOutcomeTests|HotReloadToolTests|HotReloadIntroducedTypeResponseTests passed 129 of 129.
  • Red and mutation checks:
    • The new decision tests did not compile before the decision existed.
    • 5 of the 6 new or extended response tests failed before the builder set the fields; the sixth, --status omitting Outcome, is a pin.
    • 6 mutations of the decision each failed the expected test: ignoring hasFailure, counting sibling live rows, counting sibling Skipped rows, counting sibling-owned types, dropping AlreadyActive as live, and counting Stale as live.
    • 4 mutations of the runner change each failed the expected test: always writing AutoRefreshHeld, removing the sentence anywhere in Message, keeping the leading space, and settling after the compile sentence.
    • A review found three mutations that no test caught, so tests were added or extended until each one fails:
      • Deciding the outcome from the method failures alone: the two refused-declaration tests answer Applied and NothingToApply instead of Failed.
      • Leaving AlreadyActive out of the live type kinds: only the AlreadyActive half of the type test fails.
      • Swapping the sources of SkippedTotal and AddedTotal: the every-kind test reports SkippedTotal 2 instead of 1.
  • Manual end to end, in an Editor on this branch with the CLI and project runner built from it (runner pinned with ULOOP_PROJECT_RUNNER_PATH):
    • The edit changed one ordinary method body and one generic method body in one test fixture. The generic one is Skipped because generic methods cannot be patched.
    • The run used uloop hot-reload --files <fixture> --compile-on-skip on. It returned Success: true, Outcome: "ReplacedByCompile", CompileFallback: "Requested", Compile.Success: true and AutoRefreshHeld: false.
    • AutoRefreshHoldMessage held the hold sentence, which shows the run armed the hold. Message did not contain that sentence and ended with "A compile then ran in this same command and succeeded; see CompileFallbackNote."
    • The totals were PatchedTotal: 1 and SkippedTotal: 1, and the other new totals were 0.
    • uloop hot-reload --status afterwards reported AutoRefreshHeld: false, ActivePatchTotal: 0, ActiveIntroducedTypeTotal: 0 and AddedFieldTotal: 0, so the runner's false matches the Editor. --status also omitted Outcome.
    • The fixture edit was reverted and compiled again afterwards.
  • Go (cli/project-runner):
    • golangci-lint fmt --diff, go vet ./..., golangci-lint run (0 issues), the cyclop complexity config (0 issues) and go test ./....
    • In the local sandbox, the existing TestSendWithTransientConnectionRetryAbortsOnRefusedConnect cannot bind its Unix socket. With it skipped (-skip), every test passes.
    • scripts/check-go-cli.sh stops in the local sandbox at an existing cli/common test that creates a folder under /tmp, so the per-module commands above replaced it locally. CI runs the full script.
  • Coverage, measured as described in docs/coverage.md from profiles of all four modules: project-runner 95.2% against the 95.2 baseline.
  • Other checks:
    • check-skill-size passes.
    • scripts/sync-tool-docs.sh reports the catalog already up to date.
    • The asmdef policy and file-length checks pass.
    • The C# complexity check, run on a copy of Packages/src, finds nothing above 15. The new methods are 4 to 6, and the response builder's Build is 8.
    • uloop compile-check reports 0 errors.
  • The generated skill copies were regenerated with uloop skills install --claude --agents and are byte-identical to the source.

…ck compile

A successful fallback compile reloads the domain, so the reload's own
verdict, its Auto Refresh hold flag and the hold sentence in Message no
longer describe the Editor. The CLI now writes Outcome ReplacedByCompile,
turns AutoRefreshHeld false when the response has it, and removes the
sentence the Editor reported in AutoRefreshHoldMessage from the end of
Message before appending the compile sentence, so the CLI keeps no copy of
the sentence. A failed compile leaves the reload's state as it was, and a
response from an older package without the new fields still gets Outcome.
Whether an edit took effect could only be read by combining Success,
PatchedTotal, ActivePatchTotal, CompileFallback and Message. The new
decision answers it in one word from the rows of the requested files:
Applied, PartiallyApplied, NothingApplied, NothingToApply, or Failed.
Rows of sibling files the run re-applied on its own are left out, as the
message already does, while a Failed row decides wherever it is because
Success turns false for it. ReplacedByCompile is listed for the value the
CLI writes after a successful fallback compile.
The Added, Skipped and Failed counts were only readable from the Message
sentence, so callers guessed field names that do not exist. An apply
response now carries Outcome and SkippedTotal, AddedTotal, FailedTotal,
AlreadyActiveTotal and StaleTotal, which count every Methods row like
PatchedTotal does. AutoRefreshHoldMessage holds the hold sentence this run
appended to Message, so the CLI can remove exactly that sentence after a
successful fallback compile without keeping its own copy. --status,
--revert-all and validation failures leave Outcome empty, which omits it.
The reference opened with a long list of fields, none of which said
how to tell whether an edit took effect. It now starts with a short
section that reads Outcome first and says what each value means, and
the field list describes Outcome, the per-kind totals and
AutoRefreshHoldMessage. Message, Compile and CompileFallbackNote now
say that a successful fallback compile sets Outcome to
ReplacedByCompile, turns AutoRefreshHeld false and removes the hold
sentence. The generated skill copies are regenerated from the source.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The hot-reload response now reports apply outcomes and per-kind method totals. After a successful fallback compile, the project runner updates the outcome, Auto Refresh hold state, and message. Tests and output references cover these response behaviors.

Changes

Hot Reload Apply Outcomes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Classify apply results and build response
Packages/src/Editor/FirstPartyTools/HotReload/HotReloadApplyOutcome.cs, Packages/src/Editor/FirstPartyTools/HotReload/HotReloadApplyResponseBuilder.cs, Packages/src/Editor/FirstPartyTools/HotReload/HotReloadTools.cs, Assets/Tests/Editor/HotReload/HotReloadApplyOutcomeTests.cs, Assets/Tests/Editor/HotReload/HotReloadToolTests.cs, .agents/skills/uloop-hot-reload/references/output.md, .claude/skills/uloop-hot-reload/references/output.md, Packages/src/Editor/FirstPartyTools/HotReload/Skill/references/output.md
The apply response classifies requested-file results and reports per-kind method totals. Sibling rows contribute to totals but do not determine the requested-file outcome. Tests and output references cover the new fields and outcome rules.
Settle response after fallback compilation
cli/project-runner/internal/projectrunner/hot_reload_compile_fallback.go, cli/project-runner/internal/projectrunner/hot_reload_compile_fallback_test.go, .agents/skills/uloop-hot-reload/references/output.md, .claude/skills/uloop-hot-reload/references/output.md, Packages/src/Editor/FirstPartyTools/HotReload/Skill/references/output.md
A successful fallback compile sets the outcome to ReplacedByCompile, clears AutoRefreshHeld when that field exists, and removes a matching trailing hold sentence from Message. A failed compile preserves the reload’s outcome, hold state, and message. Tests cover these cases and responses with older fields.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 22bee

The output guide could mislead users about whether an applied edit needs follow-up or whether a sibling failure affected the run. Clarify the guidance before merge if practical; the identified risk is limited to response interpretation.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 22bee

The changes clarify edit results without visibly expanding permissions. A bounded recovery-state concern remains: successful compilation does not independently confirm that Auto Refresh was released.

Retained concerns

  • Low · reliability · inferred: Successful fallback settlement reports AutoRefreshHeld=false and removes the hold instruction without acknowledging cleanup from the Editor hold owner. If AllowAutoRefresh fails, the owner explicitly retains the hold, so the new response can hide an unresolved lifecycle control. Compilation success and periodic reconciliation are strong counterevidence for normal execution, but do not guarantee cleanup under release failure. The release-failure behavior predates this PR; reporting that state as released is new.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The supported incremental exposure is response interpretation and lifecycle reporting for the existing project Editor connection. No independently attackable tenant, environment or credential scope expansion was established by the inspected changes; transport authentication was not assessed.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The existing Editor-to-CLI control remains explicit: only CompileFallback=Requested triggers compilation. Unknown, missing or malformed fallback values do not authorize compilation, and the new Outcome field is not used as an execution authorization.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Failed compiles preserve the reload outcome and hold fields. Transport failure, interruption or timeout without a completed compile result returns the original reload response rather than claiming replacement. Response mutations remain request-local and are serialized only after merge processing completes.

## Is my edit live? Read `Outcome` first

- `Applied` — the edits of the files you asked about are live (`Patched`, `Added`, or `AlreadyActive` rows, or introduced types), and none was `Skipped`. Nothing else to do.

Qualify the Applied advice. An Added Unity message can report Applied while its LifecycleNote says the engine will not invoke it until compilation. “Nothing else to do” can therefore stop a caller before the message works.

- `Failed` — at least one `Failed` row, so `Success` is `false` — unless a fallback compile then succeeded, which turns the whole answer into `ReplacedByCompile`.
- `ReplacedByCompile` — a fallback compile ran in this same command and succeeded (`Compile` holds its response): every edit is compiled in, and `Success` is the compile's. The compile reloaded the domain, so none of this run's patches survive; the totals and `Methods[]` describe the reload that ran before the compile — read `--status` for the state after it.

`Outcome` is written on apply runs only and judges the files you asked about; rows of a sibling file the run re-applied on its own (`ReappliedFromSibling: true`) do not change it, while `CompileFallback` may still be `Requested` for a retried sibling row. The totals beside it (`PatchedTotal`, `SkippedTotal`, `AddedTotal`, `FailedTotal`, `AlreadyActiveTotal`, `StaleTotal`) count every `Methods[]` row by `Kind`, siblings included.

Source: Coding guidelines

A review found three changes to the new outcome code that every test
still passed:
- deciding the outcome from the method failures alone, which answers
  NothingToApply or Applied for a run whose only failure is a refused
  type declaration;
- leaving Introduced or AlreadyActive out of the live type kinds,
  because one test passed both kinds in one list;
- dropping or swapping the Skipped, Added, AlreadyActive and Stale
  totals, because they were asserted only as 0 or as equal values.

The type-refusal tests now assert Outcome Failed, the type kinds are
decided one at a time, and one response test gives every kind a
different row count.
