- Line 64: Update the architecture guidance around the isomorphic-git invariant
to allow its transitive presence via dependencies such as
`@wp-playground/storage`, while prohibiting it as a direct dependency or Git
engine used by the project. Keep the explicit repository-wide
require('isomorphic-git') check as a finding and preserve the existing
bundled-Git requirement.
In `@tests/unit/patch-apply.integration.test.cjs`:
- Line 292: Replace the direct gitOk initialization in the binary-diff
repository setup with initRepo(scratch), preserving the shared fixture identity
and core.autocrlf=false configuration while leaving tests that explicitly
exercise git init unchanged.
In `@tests/unit/ticket-branches.integration.test.cjs`:
- Line 140: Update the Git tree parsing in the test flow around tracked and the
corresponding lines 204-207 to request NUL-delimited output with -z and split
stdout on \0 instead of newlines. Preserve gitOk’s raw stdout behavior and
remove any path parsing that depends on Git’s quoted, core.quotePath-sensitive
format.

| **Child processes run on Electron's bundled Node, never the host's.** Spawns go through `process.execPath` with `ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE=1` in the environment (see `runNpmWithEngineRetry` and the `playground:start` handler in `src/main.js`, and `buildChildEnv`). A bare `spawn('node')` or `spawn('npm')` assumes a host toolchain that is not there. On Windows child `npm` processes find a `node` at all only because of the `PATH` shim built by `ensureNodeShimDir` — new spawns must inherit that environment rather than build their own. The one exception is the bundled Git, which is not a Node process and gets its own environment from `src/git-binary.cjs` (next invariant). | ||
|
|
||
| **Git is the binary the app ships, never the host's.** Since #364 the app bundles Git through `dugite`, unpacked from `app.asar`. `require('dugite')` appears in exactly one file, `src/git-binary.cjs`; every Git spawn resolves the binary with its `resolveGitBinary`, takes its environment from `buildGitEnv`, its options from `SPAWN_OPTIONS` (which already sets `detached` the way section 4 asks), and starts its arguments with `BASE_ARGS`. That env drops every `GIT_*` variable the host had (dugite would otherwise honour `LOCAL_GIT_DIRECTORY` and `GIT_EXEC_PATH` and run a different Git), turns the host's system and global config off, and turns prompting off, so the host's shell or `~/.gitconfig` cannot change what the app does. A `spawn('git')` that relies on `PATH`, a hand-joined path into the dugite tree, a `GitProcess.exec` outside that file, a Git call given `buildChildEnv`'s environment, or one spawned without an explicit `cwd` is a regression. Parse only porcelain-stable output, with the flag that pins it (`--porcelain=v2`, `-z`, an explicit `--format`); parsing human-facing output is a finding however convenient. `src/git-run.cjs` is the only module that spawns the binary and `src/git-read.cjs` the only one that parses its output (`src/git-write.cjs` reading back the single object id `write-tree` and `commit-tree` print is not a parse); a new read belongs there, with a parser test on fixture bytes, not inline at a call site. Since #384 every read outside the write flows runs on the bundled Git and returns the same shapes the `isomorphic-git` calls returned (status rows included), so a facade signature that changes with the engine is a finding; the new-site clone (`src/git-clone.cjs`) and the ticket-branch writes (`src/ticket-branches.js` over the primitives in `src/git-write.cjs`: stage, commit-tree, update-ref, branch, checkout; the move of a ticket onto the current trunk is `merge-tree --write-tree` in `src/git-read.cjs`, a read in effect since it writes objects only, followed by the same commit-tree and update-ref) run on it too, with `src/git-progress.cjs` as the one place that reads Git's human-facing progress lines, because there is no porcelain for progress; a second parser of those lines anywhere else is a finding. The trunk update and both discards (`src/trunk-update.js`) run on the same primitives (`fetch` from the checkout's own `origin`, never a URL fixed in the app; `update-ref`; forced `checkout`; `reset` with a pathspec; `clean -fd`), and every command that streams progress goes through `streamGit` in `src/git-run.cjs`, so a second copy of that spawn-and-read block is a finding. Patch apply and revert (`src/patch-apply.js`) run on `git apply` (`applyPatch` in `src/git-write.cjs`: stdin, `-p1`, no `--index`, `--check` first), with the path rewrite to today's layout, the per-hunk wording of a refusal and the pre-write snapshot kept in JS, none of which writes; a second applier, or a write path that skips Git's check, is a finding. Patch and diff generation stays hand-rolled in `src/main.js` until the phase that moves it, and every shape it emits has to pass `git apply --check` (the agreement test in `ipc-wiring`). `isomorphic-git` is a `devDependency` for the test fixtures only; a `require('isomorphic-git')` under `src/`, or the package back among `dependencies`, is a finding until #386 retires it. Sites the old engine cloned are not written at all: every IPC handler that changes the checkout (ticket link and unlink, branch switch and delete, discard, trunk update, patch apply and revert) calls `legacySiteBlock` before anything that writes the checkout or the site's metadata (the one write that stays, `.git/info/exclude` from `site:status`, touches neither), and a new write handler without that gate is a finding; the detector is `isLegacySite` in `src/git-read.cjs` and the sentence is `src/renderer/legacy-site.cjs`, shared by main and the card. | ||

There is one Git engine since #386: `isomorphic-git` is not a dependency of this project at all, and a `require('isomorphic-git')` anywhere in the repository, or the package back in `package.json`, is a finding. Every test fixture is built by the bundled binary, through `tests/unit/helpers/git.cjs`: the fixture layer (`initRepo`, `commitFiles` and the reads beside them) for a suite that just needs a repository, its lower-level `git`/`gitOk` for the suites that cover one primitive and must not build their fixture with the layer above it. A suite that reaches for Git a third way, or hand-rolls the identity and the `core.autocrlf` decision the layer already makes, is a finding. Sites the old engine cloned are not written at all: every IPC handler that changes the checkout (ticket link and unlink, branch switch and delete, discard, trunk update, patch apply and revert) calls `legacySiteBlock` before anything that writes the checkout or the site's metadata (the one write that stays, `.git/info/exclude` from `site:status`, touches neither), and a new write handler without that gate is a finding; the detector is `isLegacySite` in `src/git-read.cjs` and the sentence is `src/renderer/legacy-site.cjs`, shared by main and the card. |

Architecture · 🔵 low · [fix here] — Distinguish direct and transitive dependencies.
Line 64 says that isomorphic-git is not a dependency of the project at all. The PR contract keeps it transitively through @wp-playground/storage, so this wording can flag a valid packaged dependency as a violation. State that it must not be a direct dependency or Git engine used by the project, and keep the require('isomorphic-git') check explicit.
As per path instructions, this architecture invariant is a [fix here] finding. The PR objectives state that isomorphic-git remains a transitive dependency.

Windows walkthrough, 2026-09-09, Windows 11 VM with no Git installed, Buildkite artifact of #411 ( Test-only change, so the check was the artifact itself: the packaged app built from this branch created a site, linked tickets, updated trunk, applied and reverted a patch, and deleted sites, all on the bundled Git. Results per PR are on each PR of the stack. One real finding, preexisting and outside this PR: deleting a site whose dev server or build watch is running fails with EBUSY and shows nothing, #414. |

The app has run on the Git binary it ships since #385's last flow: nothing under src/ requires isomorphic-git any more. What kept the package installed was five test fixtures that still built their repositories with it, and while they existed the repo carried a second Git engine whose output a fixture could quietly drift away from. tests/unit/helpers/git.cjs, which already held the driver those suites share, gains the fixture layer: gitOk (a failure that names the command), initRepo, commitFiles, resolveRef, currentBranch, listBranches, commitMeta. One place now decides the two things a fixture has to match the app on, the identity a commit carries and the core.autocrlf=false the clone writes, and initRepo({ autocrlf: null }) builds the other shape on purpose: a checkout the app adopted rather than made, which is what leaves the Windows CRLF view of crlfArgs in play. The four unit fixtures and the e2e site builder are translated onto it, same invariants, no assertion weakened. Reading a fixture back uses commands the modules under test never run (rev-list, ls-tree, for-each-ref, log --format), so a bug cannot hide behind the same code that proves it right. The e2e helper drops its own copy of the throw-on-failure runner. isomorphic-git leaves package.json and the lockfile. It is still inside the shipped asar, as a transitive dependency of @wp-playground/storage, which is not this change's to fix. Docs the change makes false: AGENTS.md and the review standard lose their "until #386" promise, the self-review skill's list of repo knowledge names the binary instead, and the comments under src/ that described what isomorphic-git does, or compared live behaviour against it, say what is true instead. The ones that name it because a contributor still has a site it cloned are left alone.

`commitMeta` read `%s` and called it the message. It replaced a full-message read, and the two coincide only because the WIP message happens to be one line: an assertion about a message would have stopped seeing a body added later. `%B`, trimmed on that field alone. The header and the docs claimed the fixture layer is what every suite builds its repositories with, and the one place the identity and the `core.autocrlf` decision are made. Five suites build theirs a second way, with their own `init`: git-read, git-write, git-clone, git-run and the fetch suite, each about one primitive, where a fixture built by the layer above the primitive under test would beg the question. That is a deliberate exception, not a violation, so the claim now names it rather than reading as if those suites were already findings. Also: `--` after a ref on the three fixture reads that take a pathspec, and the `async` dropped from a makeRepo that awaits nothing.

## Why `v1.0.1` shipped on 21 August. Trunk carries 45 commits since, and this is the **beta for 1.1.0**, published so contributors can test it before the stable tag. The headline is the bundled Git: the app ships its own Git binary and every checkout operation runs on it, so a contributor no longer needs Git installed (#401 to #411, #418, #420). It also ships the packaging allow-list (#450) and the fixes closed under the v1.1.0 milestone. The version reaches two places a contributor sees, and both must carry the real build: electron-builder embeds it in the artifact names (`wordpress-contributor-toolkit-1.1.0-beta.1-*`), and `src/logging.js` writes `app <version>` as the log's first line, so a problem report names the build it came from. That is why the bump merges before the tag. ## What changes Only the version. All three package-version fields in `package.json` and `package-lock.json` move together from `1.0.1` to `1.1.0-beta.1`. No dependency versions change, and there is no application behaviour change in this PR. ## How to test this Platforms: any for the suite; macOS or Windows for the artifact check that follows the merge. In the repository root: 1. `npm run lint` is clean and `npm test` passes. 2. `node -e "console.log(require('./package.json').version)"` prints `1.1.0-beta.1`. 3. `python3 -c "import json;d=json.load(open('package-lock.json'));print(d['version'], d['packages']['']['version'])"` prints `1.1.0-beta.1 1.1.0-beta.1`. **What must not have happened:** no dependency version may change. `git diff trunk` shows exactly three changed lines, all of them the root package version. After merge, the release build must produce artifacts named `wordpress-contributor-toolkit-1.1.0-beta.1-*`, and the first line of a fresh app log must read `app 1.1.0-beta.1`. ## Risks and limitations No UI change. The risk is a mis-scoped edit in `package-lock.json`, where dependencies also carry `1.0.1`; the replacement was confined to the first 2000 bytes of the file, which holds the two root entries, and both files were re-parsed as JSON afterwards. ## Related Same shape as #244 (v1.0.0-beta.1) and #397 (v1.0.1). --- <details> <summary>Review outcome (required — see AGENTS.md)</summary> Version-only change, three lines. Verified locally on this branch: `npm run lint` clean, `npm test` 1316 pass, 0 fail; `git diff --stat` shows two files, three insertions, three deletions; both JSON files parse.

Why
The app has run on the Git binary it ships since #410 moved the last flow across: nothing under
src/requiresisomorphic-git. What kept the package installed was five test fixtures that still built their repositories with it. While they exist the repo carries a second Git engine, the review standard has to keep promising a retirement, and a fixture can drift from what the app actually writes without any test noticing. Last PR of the track; stacked on #410.What changes
tests/unit/helpers/git.cjsalready held the driver the Git suites share (git,tempDir,removeRepo). It gains the fixture layer they were missing:gitOk(the same command with a failure that names it, so a half-built fixture fails where it broke rather than three assertions later),initRepo,commitFiles,resolveRef,currentBranch,listBranches,commitMeta. One place now decides the two things a fixture has to match the app on: the identity a commit carries (-c user.name/-c user.email, the shapecommitTreeuses) and thecore.autocrlf=falsethe clone writes.initRepo({ autocrlf: null })builds the other shape on purpose, a checkout the app adopted rather than made, which is the one that leaves the Windows CRLF view ofcrlfArgsin play.ipc-wiring.test.cjs,patch-apply.integration.test.cjs,trunk-update.integration.test.cjs,ticket-branches.integration.test.cjs) and the e2e site builder (tests/e2e/helpers/git-site.cjs) build their repositories on it. Same invariants, no assertion weakened:listFilesbecomesls-tree -r --name-only,log(...).lengthbecomesrev-list --count,readCommitbecomeslog -1 --format,statusMatrixused as a before-and-after snapshot becomes onestatus --porcelain=v2 -z -uallstring. Reading a fixture back uses commands the modules under test never run, so a bug cannot hide behind the code that proves it right. The e2e helper drops its own copy of the throw-on-failure runner. The fixtures that used a barermSyncnow go throughtempDir, which is the Deleting a site on Windows silently leaves behind anything a real Git wrote #381 Windows cleanup.package.jsonand the lockfile:isomorphic-gitis gone. It is still inside the shipped asar (34 files,/node_modules/isomorphic-git/, verified withnpm run pack:diron this branch) because@wp-playground/storagedepends on it, so no installer shrinks here; that is Playground's dependency, not this app's.require('isomorphic-git')anywhere in the repo, or the package back inpackage.json, is a finding; fixtures go through the helper). The self-review skill's list of repo knowledge names the bundled binary.TESTING.mdnames the helper as the fixture builder and stops promising a runtime the suite outgrew.src/: the ones that said whatisomorphic-gitdoes, present tense, or compared live behaviour against it, now say what is true (main.js's.git/info/excludenote,git-read.cjs's status-row divergences and facade shapes,git-update.cjs's reason for byte-level normalization). The ones that name it because a contributor still has a site it cloned (isLegacySite,remove-tree.js,legacySiteBlock, the clone's partial-versus-shallow note) are left alone: they identify a real artifact, and removing the name would remove the why.Diff size. ~700 changed lines outside the lock, almost all of it fixtures.
How to test this
Platforms: macOS and Windows.
Mostly a test-only change, so the check that matters is the suite and the packaged app. Verified on macOS at this head:
npm run lint,npm test1182/1182,npm run test:electron1182/1182,npm run test:e2e18/18,npm run test:e2e:packaged9/9.npm ci && npm teston a clean clone of the branch. Expected: green with noisomorphic-gitinnode_modulesas a direct dependency (npm ls isomorphic-gitshows it only under@wp-playground/cli > @wp-playground/storage).npm run pack:dir, thennpx asar list "dist/mac-arm64/WordPress Contributor Toolkit.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar" | grep isomorphic-git. Expected: still there, through Playground. The installer size does not move.fs. The Journeys and unit jobs onwindows-latestare the check.What must not have happened: a suite that passes because a fixture silently built nothing (
gitOkthrows, so an empty repository cannot go unnoticed); a fixture whose repository now carriescore.autocrlfwhere it did not before, which would turn off the Windows CRLF view the reads rely on for adopted checkouts.Risks and limitations
isomorphic-gitis still shipped, as a transitive dependency of@wp-playground/storage. Removing it from the bundle is Playground's call, not this app's; nothing in this repo loads it.commitFilesis two process spawns where the old library was an in-process call. Measured on this machine:npm testgoes from 4.05 s to 6.44 s. That is the price of one engine, and it is worth saying out loud.TESTING.mdpromised "under three seconds", which the suite had already outgrown before this branch and is now further from; the line says "a few seconds" instead.Related

Design decisions and alternatives considered
git()calls. The five files hold about 135 calls, mostly init/add/commit. Written out one Git invocation at a time they would repeat the identity and the autocrlf decision in thirty places, which is exactly the drift this PR exists to end; six helpers put both in one file.initRepowritescore.autocrlf=falseby default, andnullopts out. The integration suites are about sites the app cloned, which have it;ipc-wiring's repositories stand for checkouts the app adopted, which do not, and one of its tests asserts precisely that. The default matches the app's clone so a new fixture is right without thinking about it.rev-list,ls-tree,for-each-ref,log --format. With one engine there is no second implementation to cross-check against, so the check that remains is that the assertion and the code under test do not share a path.commitFileshas no--allow-emptyby default. Anaddthat staged nothing should fail the fixture, not commit an empty tree that a later assertion then explains away.src/are split, not swept. Two categories: what the old engine left on people's disks (kept, the name identifies it) and what the library does or did compared to today's code (reworded, since nothing can run it to check).Review outcome (required — see AGENTS.md)

Applied
commitMetaread%sand returned it asmessage. It replaces a full-message read, and the two coincide only becauseWIP_MESSAGEis one line, so an assertion about a message would have stopped seeing a body added later.%B, trimmed on that field alone.core.autocrlfdecision are made. Five suites build theirs a second way with their owninit(git-read,git-write,git-clone,git-run, the fetch suite), each about one primitive, where a fixture built by the layer above the primitive under test would beg the question. That is deliberate, not a violation, and the standard's new sentence would have read as if those five were already findings. The claim now names the exception.--after a ref on the three fixture reads that take a pathspec; theasyncdropped from amakeRepothat awaits nothing.Follow-up, not here

core.autocrlfshape is preserved per fixture rather than flattened (adoptedRepopassesautocrlf: null, socrlfArgs/windowsArgsstill inject the Windows CRLF view for the adopted-checkout repositories, andipc-wiring's "writing no Git config" assertion fails loudly if that default ever changes); the one real shape change,patch-apply's fixture, has its CRLF test opting back out and injectingplatformon both branches; pathspecs stay forward-slashed; the commit parents that became implicit all follow acheckout -b <branch> <base>, so HEAD is the oid the explicitparent: [...]named; the converted fixtures now clean up throughtempDir/removeRepo, closing the #381 EPERM a barermSyncwould have started hitting on Windows CI; norequire('isomorphic-git')survives, and the lockfile still resolves it under@wp-playground/storage, as the body says.Left as reachable-by-nobody:
