Fix: XACA-0510 — Rework update_launchagents to render from templates

[ehlersd]

Summary

update_launchagents() in aiteamforge-upgrade.sh looked for pre-rendered plists at share/launchagents/<agent> — a directory the tap doesn't ship. XACA-0476 fixed the source-path prefix but didn't unblock the function (silent no-op on the source-absent early-out). This PR brings upgrade in line with install-kanban.sh: render share/templates/kanban/*.template with the same sed substitution map, diff against the live target, and reload only on change.

Changes Made

• libexec/commands/aiteamforge-upgrade.sh (+55 / −13)
  • New private helper _render_launchagent_template(template, target) applying the full substitution map (USER_HOME, AITEAMFORGE_DIR, BACKUP_INTERVAL, PYTHON3_PATH) — single render path avoids sibling drift (k501-sibling-heuristic-drift-pattern).
  • update_launchagents() reworked: iterates (plist:template) pairs, renders to ${target}.new, diffs vs target, unloads → mv → loads only on change (or under FORCE). Skip-when-target-absent preserved (upgrade does not silently install opt-out agents).
• tests/test-xaca-0510-launchagent-render.sh (+263, new)
  • 12 test cases via awk-extract-and-eval seam, sandboxed in TEST_TMP_DIR/LaunchAgents with launchctl stubbed.
  • Covers: fresh render, opt-in skip, no-op on unchanged, FORCE re-renders, DRY_RUN writes nothing, missing template handled cleanly, placeholders fully substituted.
• CHANGELOG.md (+19, new file) — XACA-0510 stanza under Unreleased / Fixed.

Impact

3 files changed, 337 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-).

Risk

LOW. Scope is one function and one new test file. Pre-existing semantics (FORCE, DRY_RUN, unload→load, skip-when-target-absent) preserved with explicit checklist verification. Sibling fix for aiteamforge-migrate.sh tracked separately as XACA-0512 — not touched here.

Testing

• New test file: 12/12 pass
• Full tap test suite: 692 tests, 712 assertions passed, 5 pre-existing failures (test-command-nested-workingdir.sh, test-fresh-install.sh, test-org-config.sh) verified against main — zero new regressions
• shellcheck: zero new warnings (only pre-existing SC1091 info-level noise about sourced files)

Breaking Changes

None. Behavior change: function that previously no-op'd silently now actually updates LaunchAgent plists on aiteamforge upgrade — restoring the original intent.

Checklist

• Compiles / shellcheck clean
• Tests added and passing
• No new lint warnings

What Was Run

1. shellcheck -S warning libexec/commands/aiteamforge-upgrade.sh — EXIT 0 (clean)
2. shellcheck -S warning tests/test-xaca-0510-launchagent-render.sh — EXIT 0 (clean)
3. bash tests/test-runner.sh test-xaca-0510-launchagent-render.sh — 12/12 PASS
4. bash tests/test-runner.sh (full suite, 25 test files) — 5 failures, all pre-existing

Targeted Test Results

All 12 test cases passed (verbose run confirmed each by name):

• Missing targets: both plists absent — both skipped (opt-in guard validated)
• Fresh render: sentinel present — content written with no {{...}} placeholders
• Rendered plist contains resolved WORKING_DIR path
• lcars-health absent — not rendered (selective rendering confirmed)
• No-op second run — mtime unchanged, no .new tempfile leak
• FORCE=true — mtime changes (re-render forced)
• DRY_RUN=true — sentinel content preserved (no overwrite)
• DRY_RUN=true — 'Would update' printed
• DRY_RUN=true — no .new tempfile leak
• Missing template — warning without crash (exit 0)
• Both sentinels present — both plists rendered with zero {{ placeholders

Full Suite Regression Check

5 failures in full suite run — all confirmed pre-existing baseline failures:

• test-command-nested-workingdir.sh (known)
• test-fresh-install.sh (known — tap not installed on M3Pro by design)
• test-org-config.sh (known)

No NEW failures introduced by this PR.

Security / Sandbox Verification

• LAUNCHAGENTS_DIR overridden to sandbox path in run_update_launchagents wrapper
• HOME overridden to sandbox path in same wrapper
• launchctl() stub (no-op return 0) declared and exported before function extraction
• Real ~/Library/LaunchAgents never referenced in test file (confirmed by grep)
• M3Pro tap-install ban not violated

Implementation Quality

• Diff path logic correct: rendered output diffed vs live target (not raw template)
• All tempfile paths cleaned on every exit path (change+DRY_RUN, no-change, both)
• CHANGELOG.md stanza present and thorough

Non-Blocking Subitem Filed

[Test] Missing coverage: DRY_RUN=true when rendered content already matches target — tempfile cleanup on this path verified by logic review only, not by assertion. Filed as XACA-0510 subitem.

Code Review — PR #30 (XACA-0510)

Verdict: APPROVE.

Scope reviewed

• libexec/commands/aiteamforge-upgrade.sh — new _render_launchagent_template() helper + update_launchagents() rework (cp-source-target → render-template-to-tmp → diff-vs-target → mv-on-change).
• tests/test-xaca-0510-launchagent-render.sh — 12 sandboxed tests.
• CHANGELOG.md (tap) — new file with full XACA-0510 stanza.
• Plan-doc fidelity: matches kanban/plans/XACA-0510/XACA-0510_render_launchagent_templates.md exactly (helper next to function, render-to-tmp + diff-vs-target, FORCE/DRY_RUN/skip-absent preserved, follow-up filed as XACA-0512).

Security

• No secrets in code, tests, or CHANGELOG.
• sed -e "s|...|...|g" uses | as delimiter — safe for $HOME paths with spaces, and no PII gets baked in. (Theoretical risk: any substitution value containing | would break sed; flagged as a non-blocking subitem.)
• mv tmpfile target is atomic (same dir, same filesystem — ${target}.new is a sibling of ${target}).
• LAUNCHAGENTS_DIR env seam lets tests fully sandbox to $TEST_TMP_DIR/LaunchAgents; the real ~/Library/LaunchAgents is never touched. M3Pro tap-install ban respected.
• launchctl is stubbed in the test framework (no-op function exported before the function-eval), so even an accidental code path can't reach the real launchctl.

Architecture

• Single render helper avoids the sibling-drift pattern from k501-sibling-heuristic-drift-pattern within upgrade.sh.
• The helper duplicates the substitution map already in install-kanban.sh:771-775 and :814-815. CHANGELOG explicitly acknowledges this as a scoped decision ("abstract only if a third site appears" per plan-doc § Helper function vs inline sed). Reasonable for now — failure mode is bounded and the sibling-drift catalog now points at aiteamforge-migrate.sh::update_launchagents (XACA-0512) as the next target for unification.
• KANBAN_BACKUP_INTERVAL=900 is hardcoded as a default in both install-kanban.sh (script-level constant) and the new helper (:-900 fallback). If install ever bumps it, upgrade silently uses the old value. Filed as [Review] subitem — non-blocking, but ironic given the CHANGELOG's "sibling-heuristic drift" framing.

Code Quality

• local discipline inside the for entry in loop is bash-safe (shebang verified #!/bin/bash; the k501-zsh-local-in-loop gotcha doesn't apply).
• Tempfile cleanup on all no-op paths: DRY_RUN branch removes the tempfile, diff-equal branch removes the tempfile, missing-template branch returns before any redirect creates $dest.
• Failure-tolerance pattern on both launchctl unload and launchctl load is right (unload of unloaded agent + load without user session both fail benignly).
• Function names clear and prefixed with _ for private helper.
• No trap to clean ${target}.new on SIGINT between render and mv. Low-priority — filed as [Review] subitem.
• DRY_RUN path increments the updated counter and the final message reads "Updated N LaunchAgent(s)" — should read "Would update N..." in dry-run mode. Filed as [Review] subitem.

Testing

• 12 standalone test cases run green via bash tests/test-runner.sh tests/test-xaca-0510-launchagent-render.sh — verified locally.
• Sandboxing is airtight: FRAMEWORK_DIR=$FAKE_FRAMEWORK, WORKING_DIR=$FAKE_WORKING, LAUNCHAGENTS_DIR=$FAKE_LAUNCHAGENTS, HOME=$SANDBOX_DIR/home. No path traversal to real $HOME.
• Matrix coverage: target-absent (x2), fresh-render content + placeholder-strip + WORKING_DIR-substitution, no-op-via-mtime + no .new leak, FORCE re-renders, DRY_RUN write-blocked + "Would update" + no .new leak, missing-template warning, both-rendered.
• The test extracts the two functions via awk matching on the comment header ^# Render a LaunchAgent template and ^}$ brace counting. This is brittle to comment/format changes — a future rename of the comment would silently change what is tested. Filed as [Review] subitem (suggest a post-extraction sanity grep for both function names in the extracted text).

CHANGELOG

• Present (homebrew-tap/CHANGELOG.md, new file), structured per Keep-a-Changelog 1.1.0, in same commit as code (per CLAUDE.md mandate).
• Lineage is correctly documented: XACA-0476 (path prefix), XACA-0510 (render in upgrade), XACA-0512 (render in migrate).
• Dev-team superproject CHANGELOG entry is out of scope for this PR — it lands with the submodule pointer-bump PR per the plan-doc's "Two-PR shape" section.

Plan-doc fidelity

Implementation matches the plan-doc decisions point for point: render helper local to upgrade.sh (no install-kanban refactor), diff rendered_tmp vs target not template vs target, unload then mv then load ordering preserved, skip-on-target-absent kept, cr-confluence-poller out of scope, migrate.sh defect filed separately as XACA-0512.

Non-blocking suggestions filed as [Review] subitems

1. Add trap to clean up ${target}.new on SIGINT/SIGTERM.
2. Hoist KANBAN_BACKUP_INTERVAL default to a single named constant shared by install-kanban + upgrade.
3. Add post-extraction sanity check in the test (grep for both function names in extracted text).
4. DRY_RUN summary message should read "Would update N" not "Updated N".
5. Document in helper comment that PYTHON3_PATH is re-resolved at upgrade time.

None of these block merge. Diff is small, scope is honoured, tests pass, no security or data-loss or breaking-change concerns, and the implementation is faithful to the plan-doc.

APPROVED.

[ai-security-review-bot]

Re-review after cleanup commit 2231f12. All five [Review] subitems (012-016) plus the [Test] subitem (017) addressed correctly.

Verification per subitem

012 — RETURN trap for tempfile cleanup. The original SC2064 footgun (per-iteration trap '... $tmpfile' RETURN capturing the variable at trap-set time) is avoided. Implementation:

• Module-level _upgrade_tmpfiles=() at file scope (upgrade.sh:393).
• _cleanup_upgrade_tmpfiles() walks the array with a force-remove (safe no-op when the tempfile was already moved or explicitly removed).
• Trap set ONCE at function entry (upgrade.sh:447), not per-iteration.
• Array reset on every function entry (upgrade.sh:446) — prevents stale-state bleed across invocations.
• Append happens BEFORE any potential failure point (upgrade.sh:455 precedes the render call at :464). Correct order.
• The # shellcheck disable=SC2329 annotation is justified — indirect call via trap.

Minor nit (non-blocking): commit message and docstring mention "SIGINT/RETURN trap"; only RETURN is wired. RETURN is the right pattern for function-scoped cleanup; SIGINT during the mv/launchctl window would still leave behind a tempfile, but those windows are tiny and a separate EXIT trap would be a different ticket. Not worth filing.

013 — Named constant + XACA-0516 follow-up. readonly XACA_0510_KANBAN_BACKUP_INTERVAL_DEFAULT=900 at upgrade.sh:27 with a three-line cross-reference comment naming install-kanban.sh:16 (verified accurate) and pointing to XACA-0516 for full consolidation. Used at upgrade.sh:417 in the parameter expansion default. XACA-0516 confirmed filed (LOW priority, TODO, correct context). Deliberate scope deferral acknowledged per the plan doc.

014 — declare -f sanity check. Three hard preconditions at test:72-77, one per extracted function, each with exit 1 and a clear FATAL message. >/dev/null suppresses normal stdout. Replaces the prior test_fail + return 0 pattern that would have masked cascading test failures. Loud-fail is the right call — a botched extraction should abort the whole file, not produce 15 cryptic individual failures.

015 — DRY_RUN-aware summary. Three-way branch at upgrade.sh:496-502 reads cleanly: updated=0 → "All up to date"; DRY_RUN=true → "Would update N"; else → "Updated N". The existing updated -eq 0 short-circuit correctly takes precedence over the DRY_RUN branch (no-change always wins over would-have), which is the right semantic.

016 — PYTHON3_PATH comment. Two-line comment at upgrade.sh:419-420 documents that command -v python3 is re-resolved on every upgrade, flagging the PATH-shift hazard between install and upgrade. Describes the behavior (re-resolution) rather than the mechanism — ages well.

017 — Test coverage. Three new tests at test:271-299 cover the DRY_RUN + no-change path: (a) target file unchanged across DRY_RUN run, (b) no .new tempfile remaining after DRY_RUN run, (c) "All LaunchAgents up to date" message appears. Each test isolates state with reset_launchagents and seeds via a real DRY_RUN=false render before the DRY_RUN=true assertion. Local run: 15/15 pass via the harness (bash tests/test-runner.sh test-xaca-0510-launchagent-render.sh).

Standard checklist

• Security: No new secrets, no injection vectors. Trap body is a fixed function name (_cleanup_upgrade_tmpfiles), not user-supplied — no arbitrary-code-execution-via-filename hazard.
• Architecture: Module-level array + dedicated cleanup function is a known-good bash pattern. Placement (between update_skills and _render_launchagent_template) makes sense.
• Code Quality: shellcheck libexec/commands/aiteamforge-upgrade.sh and shellcheck tests/test-xaca-0510-launchagent-render.sh both clean (only the pre-existing SC1091 info on source lines).
• Performance: No new I/O hotspots. The cleanup loop over a 2-element array is negligible.
• Testing: 15/15 green. New tests properly seed state and assert specific behaviors rather than relying on side-effect coincidence.

Verdict

APPROVE. Cleanup commit lands every subitem cleanly. No new [Review] subitems filed — nothing genuinely actionable remains in scope. The XACA-0516 deferral of cross-file constant consolidation is correctly scoped (separate file, separate concern, traced).

Do not merge — main agent merges per the three-gate protocol.

[ds9-tester-bot]

Re-test after [Review]/[Test] cleanup commit 2231f12. All 15/15 XACA-0510 tests pass. Full suite: 3 pre-existing failures only (test-command-nested-workingdir.sh, test-fresh-install.sh, test-org-config.sh) — zero new regressions introduced.

Verified cleanup-batch changes:

• Module-level _upgrade_tmpfiles array + RETURN trap: sound pattern — trap fires on function exit/error; array is reset at start of each update_launchagents call so parallel re-entrant runs don't cross-contaminate. No .new tempfile leakage confirmed by Tests 5, 7, 8.
• declare -f sanity checks (lines 72-77): three separate guards for _cleanup_upgrade_tmpfiles, _render_launchagent_template, and update_launchagents — any awk marker drift causes exit 1 before any test runs. Correctly anchored to '# Cleanup helper invoked by update_launchagents' which is present verbatim in upgrade.sh line 390.
• DRY_RUN summary message: elif branch at line 498 now emits 'Would update N LaunchAgent(s)' when DRY_RUN=true and updated>0. Confirmed by Test 7 (DRY_RUN=true + 'Would update' assertion) and the three-way if/elif/else in update_launchagents.
• PYTHON3_PATH re-resolution comment (lines 419-420): present and accurate.
• XACA_0510_KANBAN_BACKUP_INTERVAL_DEFAULT named constant (line 27): readonly, referenced in _render_launchagent_template. XACA-0516 reference in comment is correct.
• Three new DRY_RUN + no-change tests (Test 8, lines 271-299): target unchanged, no .new tempfile, 'All LaunchAgents up to date' output — all pass.

Sandbox discipline: LAUNCHAGENTS_DIR, HOME, launchctl all overridden before any assertions. No ~/Library/LaunchAgents access.
