From 9d3a96e11a88ebed0ef8aaa8e7ea7e1b0ce6a845 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?David=20Hanu=C5=A1?= Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 12:51:38 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] fix: assign distinct exit codes per failure category (resolves F17 collision) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The `CommandExitCodes` enum previously collapsed three semantically-distinct failure categories onto exit code 1 (MissingAuth = BuildFailed = RunFailed), two onto code 3 (BuildAborted = RunAborted), and two onto code 5 (InvalidInput = InvalidActorJson) — with an `eslint-disable-next-line no-duplicate-enum-values` directive admitting the collision was deliberate. The collapse means callers (CI scripts, agent harnesses, MCP servers, eval pipelines) cannot tell from the exit code alone what category of failure occurred, forcing brittle stderr string-matching. This commit assigns distinct exit codes per category: - `BuildFailed = 1` — unchanged - `BuildTimedOut = 2` — unchanged - `BuildAborted = 3` — unchanged - `NoFilesToPush = 4` — unchanged - `InvalidInput = 5` — unchanged - `RunFailed = 6` — was 1; distinct from BuildFailed - `RunAborted = 7` — was 3; distinct from BuildAborted - `MissingAuth = 77` — was 1; BSD `sysexits.h` `EX_NOPERM` per `man 3 sysexits` - `InvalidActorJson = 78` — was 5; BSD `sysexits.h` `EX_CONFIG` - `NotFound = 250` — unchanged - `NotImplemented = 255` — unchanged Codes for the semantic categories (auth, config) follow the BSD `sysexits.h` convention so the values are self-documenting to anyone familiar with the POSIX sysexits taxonomy. Backwards-compatibility: callers that only check `exitCode !== 0` are unaffected. The most common existing failure (BuildFailed = 1) keeps its value. Only callers that specifically distinguished one of the previously- colliding categories from "code 1 means anything" are affected — and since they couldn't actually distinguish before, no caller can have depended on the collision. The `eslint-disable @typescript-eslint/no-duplicate-enum-values` directive at the top of `src/lib/consts.ts` is removed (no more duplicates). This change does not require call-site updates — all 11 existing call sites use the enum names, not the numeric values. `tsc --noEmit` passes cleanly.
