Introduces dfetch replay-patch which stages the clean upstream source in
the git index and applies the selected patches to the working tree, so any
diff-aware editor sees git diff (working tree vs index) showing exactly
what the patches contribute. The command always restores original state on
exit — no permanent changes to working tree or index.

replay-patches demo

  • New command: dfetch/commands/review_patch.py with --count/-n, --interactive/-i
  • GitSuperProject.add_path(), restore_staged(), restore_worktree() for index/worktree control
  • GitLocalRepo.add_path(), restore_staged(), restore_worktree() with -- pathspec hardening
  • SVN superprojects supported (with a warning; no staging step; uses svn diff hint)
  • Interactive TUI uses read_key()/Screen for ← → step-through (zero fetches per step)
  • Only one fetch per review session (clean upstream); patches applied/reversed directly
  • --count validated >= 0; reported count clamped to min(requested, total)
  • 9 unit tests, 4 git BDD scenarios
  • Threat model updated with review-patch and transient git index mutation note
  • Documentation and changelog updated

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~75 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e9269

The new command temporarily changes Git index and worktree state, but interactive project-specific patch limits are currently ignored and cleanup or concurrent repository activity can leave local repositories altered or restore the wrong state. These bounded but concrete correctness and recovery risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

rest with a brief reason, keep changes minimal, and validate.

Inline comments:
In `@dfetch/commands/review_patch.py`:
- Around line 113-200: The `_review_project` method has too many branches and
conditional paths, exceeding the cyclomatic complexity limit of 8. Extract the
guard validations (checking for patch existence, on_disk_version, and local
changes) into a separate helper method that returns early if validation fails,
move the interactive review logic and non-interactive logic into their own
helper methods, and simplify the main method to orchestrate validation,
application, and restoration in a clearer sequence. This will distribute the
branching logic across focused helper methods while keeping the main method as a
clear orchestrator.
- Around line 70-78: The --count argument lacks validation, allowing negative
integers that produce unexpected Python slice behavior rather than a meaningful
CLI contract. Add a custom type validator to the add_argument call for --count
to ensure only positive integers are accepted. Additionally, update the logic
around line 173 where the raw count is forwarded to patch_count to validate
against negative values and clamp to valid ranges. Finally, modify the reporting
logic around line 181 to track and report the actual number of patches that were
successfully applied, not the requested count, since the effective count may
differ from what was requested.
- Around line 183-187: The logger.print_info_line call in the review_patch
function currently hardcodes the instruction to use git diff, but this is
inconsistent with non-Git superprojects like SVN that should use their own diff
commands. Make the diff command suggestion in the message VCS-aware by checking
the project's VCS type and conditionally including the appropriate diff command
(git diff for Git projects, svn diff for SVN projects, etc.) in the status
message printed to the user.

In `@dfetch/vcs/git.py`:
- Around line 785-793: Add the `--` separator before the path argument in both
the add_path and restore_staged methods to prevent Git from interpreting
option-style paths as flags. In add_path, insert `"--"` between `"add"` and
`path` in the command list passed to run_on_cmdline. In restore_staged, insert
`"--"` between `"--staged"` and `path` in the command list passed to
run_on_cmdline. This ensures Git treats the path as a positional argument rather
than a potential option flag.

In `@tests/test_review_patch.py`:
- Around line 79-97: Add a new test function to validate that negative count
values are rejected by the ReviewPatch command. Create a test that instantiates
ReviewPatch, mocks the required dependencies (create_super_project,
create_sub_project, in_directory, is_tty) similar to
test_review_count_1_uses_patch_count_1, and then calls cmd(_make_args(count=-1))
while asserting that this raises an appropriate validation error or exception.
This ensures the CLI contract maintains count-based validation and prevents
regression to slice-driven behavior for negative values.

In `@dfetch/commands/review_patch.py`:
- Line 260: The Ctrl-C handler is currently catching KeyboardInterrupt, clearing
the screen, and returning normally, but the UI message advertises "Ctrl-C abort"
which implies the command should abort. Locate the exception handlers that catch
KeyboardInterrupt (near lines 260 and 319-321 in the review_patch.py file) and
modify them to re-raise the KeyboardInterrupt exception after clearing the
screen, rather than returning normally. This will allow the outer finally block
to restore state before the command properly aborts.
- Line 47: The import statement in review_patch.py violates the command-layer
dependency boundary by directly importing from dfetch.terminal, which is not an
allowed dependency. The imports of Screen, is_tty, read_key, BOLD, DIM, and
RESET must be sourced from one of the allowed layers (dfetch.reporting,
dfetch.project, dfetch.manifest, dfetch.vcs, dfetch.util, or dfetch.log). Either
move these terminal primitives to one of the allowed modules or create a
wrapper/facade in an allowed module that exposes these utilities, then update
the import in review_patch.py to import from the allowed layer instead of
directly from dfetch.terminal.
- Around line 137-147: The mutations to the subproject via subproject.update()
and to git_super via git_super.add_path() are occurring before the try/finally
restore guard begins, which means if either call fails, the restore mechanism in
the finally block will not execute and the worktree/index could be left in an
inconsistent state. Move the subproject.update() call (with patch_count=0) and
the conditional git_super.add_path() call to occur after the try block starts,
so they are protected by the restore guard in the finally block. The same issue
also applies to the code in the range around lines 159-174, so ensure all
mutations that need protection occur within the try block.
- Around line 183-202: The ReviewPatch functionality needs to validate patch
files exist and are accessible before treating them as applicable or performing
worktree operations. Add comprehensive patch file validation in the ReviewPatch
method that performs checks similar to those shown in the diff (verifying patch
existence via subproject.patch, confirming the subproject version exists via
on_disk_version(), and checking for local changes via
has_local_changes_in_dir()) to ensure that chosen_count == -1 or any decision to
apply patches is only made when the patch file is actually valid and accessible.
Ensure this validation logic is applied consistently across all locations where
patches are processed (including the locations at lines 217-221, 233-246, and
290-297) before any worktree replacement operations occur, and validate the
actual patch file object when calling Patch.from_file to catch missing or
out-of-root patch files early.

In `@dfetch/project/subproject.py`:
- Around line 90-97: The apply_patches method accepts a count parameter but does
not validate the input, allowing invalid values like -2 to be passed and cause
unexpected behavior in the slicing logic. Add a validation guard at the
beginning of the apply_patches method that raises a ValueError if count is less
than -1, ensuring only -1 (meaning all patches) or positive values are accepted
as documented in the docstring.

In `@features/steps/git_steps.py`:
- Around line 264-266: In the subprocess.check_output call for the git status
command, add the `--` separator argument between the `--porcelain` option and
the path argument to prevent paths starting with a hyphen from being interpreted
as git options. Modify the command list from `["git", "status", "--porcelain",
path]` to `["git", "status", "--porcelain", "--", path]`.
- Line 10: Move the no-name-in-module pylint suppression from the inline comment
on the import statement (from behave import given, then, when) to the
module-level header. Locate the existing pylint disable comment on line 3 in the
module header and add no-name-in-module to that existing disable list, then
remove the inline # pylint: disable=no-name-in-module comment from the import
statement on line 10.

If subproject.update() succeeds but the subsequent git_super.add_path()
raises, the except block only restored the saved metadata bytes, leaving
the on-disk files at clean upstream while metadata claimed the original
fully-patched state. Route the failure through _restore_project first, as
_review_project already does, and add a regression test.

- Add missing docstrings to _validate_superproject, _check_count_conflicts,
  and GitLocalRepo._git_restore (pydocstyle consistency)
- Drop unused `call` import from test_replay_patches.py
- Clarify that the git-index staging behaviour in the replay-patches
  how-to only applies to Git superprojects; SVN has no staging step
- Assert the SVN working copy is clean after replay-patches restores,
  mirroring the existing git "reports no changes" step

The checked-in recording predated the demo script's "cat patches/cpputest.patch"
step and was hand-edited (mismatched terminal size, a stale 0.14.0 version
string, and a "Press Enter to restore..." prompt that the piped invocation
never actually produces). Regenerated it with asciinema + strip-setup-from-cast.sh
against the current script, matching the terminal size/env of the other
checked-in casts.

Rendered with agg from the updated replay-patches.cast so the demo GIF
stays in sync with the actual command output.

… pipe trick

The demo script piped empty stdin into dfetch replay-patches to stop the
recording from blocking on "Press Enter to restore...", but that made the
checked-in cast/GIF display `echo '' | dfetch replay-patches cpputest` as
if that's what a user should type. Use demo-magic's `p` to display the
plain command while still feeding it empty stdin behind the scenes, and
regenerate the cast and GIF to match.

This sandbox generated the recording at /home/user/dfetch instead of the
/workspaces/dfetch path every other checked-in cast was recorded under.
Every sibling cast keeps the trailing popd path (it's not stripped), so
normalize the one line to match rather than removing it.

Drives dfetch replay-patches --interactive across two projects (cpputest,
jsmn) through the newly-generalized interactive_helper.py, showing the
tree TUI step through each project's patch and switch focus between them
with the arrow keys. Extends the helper's key aliases with UP/LEFT/RIGHT
(previously only ENTER/DOWN/SPACE, added for add -i's needs) since the
replay-patches TUI uses all four arrows. Wired into generate-casts.sh and
embedded in the patching how-to alongside the existing single-project cast.

ruff's TRY004 (enabled by the ruff 0.16.4 bump already on main) flagged
_validate_superproject's RuntimeError for an isinstance check. diff.py and
update_patch.py already use TypeError for the identical NoVcsSuperProject
check (near word-for-word same message) -- replay_patches.py was the odd
one out. Match the existing convention; both are handled identically by
__main__.py's top-level except (RuntimeError, TypeError).

- _stage_one: KeyboardInterrupt derives from BaseException, so the prior
  `except Exception` skipped restoration on Ctrl-C during staging. Switch
  to try/finally with a staged_ok flag so restoration always runs on any
  failure, including Ctrl-C.
- Fix a misplaced quote in the "no patch file" warning so the project name
  lands inside the quoted `dfetch diff` command, matching update_patch.py.
- Catch OSError alongside RuntimeError when stepping the interactive TUI
  (single- and multi-project) so a patch file that goes missing mid-review
  doesn't leave the terminal stuck in raw mode.
- interactive_helper.py: reject trailing tokens after REPEAT instead of
  silently ignoring them; terminate the driven dfetch process if _drive
  raises instead of leaking it.
- Demo scripts: resolve demo-magic.sh and workspace paths from the
  script's own directory (BASH_SOURCE) instead of the caller's cwd; use a
  unique mktemp workspace instead of a fixed directory name so a
  pre-existing directory of that name can't collide with the cleanup
  trap's rm -rf; preserve the replay command's exit status through
  cleanup.
- Remove an unnecessary inline pylint suppression in svn_steps.py (other
  step files import `then` from behave without it).
- Clarify that replay-patches stages "eligible selected projects" (skips
  ones with no patches or local changes), not unconditionally all of them.

Verified: all 724 unit tests, the git and SVN replay-patches BDD
scenarios, and both demo scripts end-to-end (exit 0, no leftover
directories) still pass; ruff/pylint/mypy/pydocstyle/bandit clean.

…ee check

- Validate each patch path in the interactive TUI stepper before handing it
  to Patch.from_file, mirroring SubProject._apply_patches' own skip checks
  (missing file, or outside the current directory). A rejected patch logs
  a warning and the step still advances, rather than crashing or silently
  applying an unvalidated path. Filtering the patch list up front was
  tried first but rejected: it shrinks the reported total, which threw off
  the fully-patched restore-path decision in combined mode.
- CI: verify dfetch replay-patches actually leaves the working tree
  unchanged (snapshot git status before/after) instead of just checking it
  exits 0, in both the cygwin and the OS/Python matrix jobs. Runs under
  shell: bash explicitly so the check is identical on Windows (Git Bash)
  and Linux/macOS; verified against a real replay-patches run.

Left unfixed with reasoning:
- security/tm_usage.py's "preserve pre-existing staged changes" comment:
  verified against current code -- _can_review_project already calls
  has_local_changes_in_dir before staging, which skips any project with
  staged OR unstaged changes, so there's never a pre-existing staged state
  to lose. False positive; the reviewer's own analysis was scoped to
  replay_patches.py and git.py only, missing this upstream guard.
- The dfetch.terminal import "layer violation": already verified in an
  earlier round -- pyproject.toml's actual enforced import-linter contract
  places dfetch.terminal in the same bottom layer as util/log, and
  lint-imports passes. The reviewer's guideline source (AGENTS.md's prose
  diagram) just omits it from the list.
- Generalizing asciinema's exit-status propagation across all ~19
  generate-casts.sh demo scripts: out of scope for this PR, which only
  fixed it for the two replay-patches demos it adds.

Verified: 734 unit tests, ruff/pylint/mypy/pydocstyle/bandit/lint-imports,
git+SVN replay-patches BDD scenarios, and the new CI check against a real
replay-patches run all pass.

apply_patches() silently skips such a patch, so a non-interactive
replay that hit one would still be treated as fully patched and take
the unstage-only restore path, leaving the worktree out of sync with
HEAD. Gate eligibility on all patch paths being safe instead, using
the same check already added for the interactive stepper.
… worktree

The CI clean-tree check (added in the previous commit) failed on the
cygwin job: after a non-interactive replay applied all of a project's
patches, restore assumed the reapplied worktree was already byte-identical
to HEAD and only unstaged the git index, leaving the working tree dirty
whenever re-fetch + patch application didn't reproduce HEAD exactly
(e.g. environment-dependent line-ending normalization).

Drop that "fully patched, so just unstage" fast path for git projects and
always restore both index and worktree from HEAD instead. Do the same for
SVN (always re-fetch and reapply on restore, rather than only when the
worktree was left partially patched) so the same class of drift can't
leave an SVN project's working copy uninspected either.
… dirty

The clean-tree check's own workflow logs are unreadable when it fails --
step-security/harden-runner's process-monitoring output on Windows/cygwin
runs to tens of thousands of lines, drowning the few lines the check itself
prints. Upload the actual `git status`/`git diff` output as a build artifact
on failure so it's inspectable directly instead of hunting through logs.

Comment thread dfetch/commands/replay_patches.py
_apply_review and _run_combined_review only forward a project's chosen
patch count to the non-interactive apply_patches() call; the interactive
TUI paths always hand the stepper the project's full patch list, so a
project:N suffix was silently ignored once --interactive was set. Reject
the combination up front instead, matching the existing --count/project:N
conflict check.
…ostic

The previous diagnostic step only wrote its diff artifact inside the
"tree changed" branch, so if `dfetch replay-patches` itself exited non-zero
(a crash, not just a dirty restore), bash's errexit aborted the script
before that branch -- and before the artifact upload step ever had a file
to upload. The last run's "replay-patches-diff-cygwin" artifact confirmed
this: the check failed but zero artifacts were produced.

Capture the command's own stdout/stderr and exit status unconditionally,
and treat a non-zero exit the same as a dirty tree, so the artifact is
always written before the step decides whether to fail.
