Overview

CopyFile opens the destination with truncation after opening the source. If both paths refer to the same file, this clears the source and returns a successful empty copy. Check file identity before creating the destination and return an error for the same path, a hard link or a symbolic link. The regression verifies that the source contents remain intact in all three cases.

go test ./pkg/os -count=1 passed offline. This addresses file identity and does not change the close-error handling from #3458.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • File copies now return an error when the destination is the same file as the source, including when accessed through a hard link or symbolic link. The source contents remain unchanged in these cases.
  • Errors encountered while checking file identity or preparing the destination are now reported, and the destination is not truncated before the identity checks succeed.

Walkthrough

CopyFile checks whether the destination refers to the source before it truncates the destination. Tests cover identical paths, hard links, and symbolic links, and verify that failed copies leave the source content unchanged.

Changes: CopyFile Same-File Safety

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Same-file check and validation pkg/os/os.go, pkg/os/os_test.go	CopyFile checks file identity before truncating the destination and returns errors for stat, identity-check, and truncate failures. Tests cover same-path, hard-link, and symbolic-link destinations, and verify that the source content remains unchanged.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 59e3b

CopyFile now rejects source aliases before truncating them, including aliases substituted before opening the destination. No concrete merge-blocking issue remains; additional deterministic regression coverage is optional.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "fix(os): reject copying a file onto itself" matches the main change. The raw summary says CopyFile now checks whether the destination refers to the source before it opens the destination, and the new test covers same-path, hard-link, and symbolic-link cases. The title follows the conventional commit format named in the template. It is specific and short.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description fills the Overview section. It gives the context: CopyFile truncates the destination after it opens the source, so a same-file copy clears the source and returns a successful empty copy. It states the goal: check file identity before creating the destination and return an error for the same path, hard link, or symbolic link. It names the regression test that checks source content. It also gives the test result and scope, and it links related work (#3458). The template's optional Closes #<issue number> line is absent. The HTML comment block from the template remains in the description. Both points are minor and do not block the check.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 50.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 2 functions across 2 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Test overwriting a distinct destination.

Add a case with an existing destination that is unrelated to the source. Assert that CopyFile succeeds and replaces its contents. These tests would also pass if the guard rejected every existing destination.

The Docker build is failing while pushing the PR image to GHCR: the Actions installation is not allowed to write to the organization package. The workflow already requests packages: write, so this appears to be a repository/package permission issue for fork PRs. Could you adjust the CI/package access settings, or change the PR workflow so fork builds do not push to the organization package?

@tac0turtle Hi, Could you please review this PR at your convenience? Thank you very much.

Test the post-open identity check.

The alias tests return at the preliminary check. Add a deterministic test that replaces the destination with a link to the source immediately before the destination open, then asserts an error and unchanged source content. A private injectable open function can provide the synchronization point.

use a private injectable open function to replace the destination with a link to
the source immediately before opening it, then verify the operation returns an

post-open `os.SameFile` check rather than returning at the preliminary check.
