🎨 Palette: Detailed Dry-Run Plan Visibility by abhimehro · Pull Request #162 · abhimehro/ctrld-sync

abhimehro · 2026-02-04T22:56:35Z

💡 What: Added detailed logging of the execution plan during dry-run.
🎯 Why: Users need to know exactly which folders will be affected before running a destructive sync.
📸 Before/After: Previously, dry-run only showed a summary count. Now it lists every folder with its action (Allow/Block).
♿ Accessibility: Improves cognitive accessibility by reducing anxiety and providing clear system status (Visibility of System Status).

Detailed logs now show which folders will be synced, their rule counts, and actions during a dry run. This improves user confidence by making the plan transparent. Co-authored-by: abhimehro <84992105+abhimehro@users.noreply.github.com>

Summary of Changes

Hello @abhimehro, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly improves the dry-run feature of the CLI tool by transitioning from a high-level summary to a detailed, itemized list of affected folders and their corresponding actions. The primary goal is to enhance user confidence and cognitive accessibility by providing clear visibility into the system's intended operations before any destructive changes are applied, ensuring users understand the full scope of a sync operation.

Highlights

Enhanced Dry-Run Visibility: The dry-run functionality now provides detailed logging of the execution plan, specifically listing each folder that will be affected.
Granular Action Details: For each affected folder, the dry-run output explicitly states the number of rules applied and the determined action (e.g., 'Allow', 'Block', 'Bypass', or 'Multi-Action').
Improved User Confidence: This change addresses the need for users to know precisely which folders will be impacted by destructive sync operations, thereby reducing anxiety and preventing potential errors.

Changelog

.Jules/palette.md
- Added a new documentation file outlining the learning and action taken regarding CLI dry-run visibility, emphasizing the importance of listing specific entities rather than just counts.
.python-version
- Modified the .python-version file to ensure a newline character is present at the end of the file, standardizing its format.
main.py
- Implemented new logging logic within the dry_run block to iterate through plan_entry['folders'].
- Added detailed log.info statements to display each folder's name, the number of rules associated, and a human-readable action string (Allow, Block, Bypass, or Multi-Action).
- Included logic to handle cases where the 'action' field might be missing or None, defaulting it to 'Allow' (0) for display purposes.

Code Review

This pull request enhances the dry-run functionality by providing a detailed plan of actions for each folder, which is a great improvement for user confidence and safety. However, a medium-severity log injection vulnerability was found in the new logging logic where data from external JSON sources is logged without sanitization, potentially allowing malicious sources to spoof log entries. Applying the project's existing sanitize_for_log function to these log statements will resolve this. Additionally, a suggestion has been made in main.py to refactor an if/elif chain into a more maintainable dictionary lookup.

gemini-code-assist · 2026-02-04T22:58:40Z

main.py

+                log.info(
+                    f"  - {entry['name']}: {entry['rules']} rules ({action_str})"
+                )


The log statement here is vulnerable to log injection. The action_str variable can contain the act_val (retrieved from external JSON at line 1138), which is not validated or sanitized. A malicious block-list provider could inject newline characters and spoofed log entries into the user's console.

You should use the existing sanitize_for_log() function to ensure that any external data is safely escaped before being logged, consistent with other logging calls in this file (e.g., lines 520, 636).

Suggested change

log.info(

f" - {entry['name']}: {entry['rules']} rules ({action_str})"

)

log.info(

sanitize_for_log(f" - {entry['name']}: {entry['rules']} rules ({action_str})")

)

main.py

+                    if act_val == 0:
+                        action_str = "Allow"
+                    elif act_val == 1:
+                        action_str = "Block"
+                    elif act_val == 2:
+                        action_str = "Bypass"
+                    else:
+                        action_str = f"Action={act_val}"


To improve maintainability and readability, you can replace this if/elif/else chain with a dictionary lookup. This makes the code more concise and easier to extend if more actions are added in the future.

action_str = {0: "Allow", 1: "Block", 2: "Bypass"}.get(act_val, f"Action={act_val}")

Pull request overview

This PR enhances the dry-run functionality by adding detailed logging of the execution plan, showing users exactly which folders will be affected before running a destructive sync operation. Previously, dry-run only showed summary counts, but now it lists every folder with its name, rule count, and action type (Allow/Block/Bypass/Multi-Action).

Changes:

Added detailed per-folder logging during dry-run that displays folder names, rule counts, and action types
Fixed formatting in .python-version file (removed leading spaces)
Added documentation in .Jules/palette.md capturing the learning about dry-run visibility

+                )


The new dry-run logging functionality lacks test coverage. The repository has comprehensive test coverage for other functions (as seen in test_main.py and the tests/ directory), but there are no tests verifying that the dry-run output correctly displays folder names, rule counts, and action types. Consider adding a test that verifies the log messages are generated correctly for both single-action and multi-action formats, and that the action values (0=Allow, 1=Block, 2=Bypass) are correctly translated to their string representations.

Applied `sanitize_for_log` to user-provided folder names in the dry-run log output. This ensures that any potential sensitive data (or data flagged as such by static analysis) is treated safely, resolving the CodeQL alert. Co-authored-by: abhimehro <84992105+abhimehro@users.noreply.github.com>

This file appears to be a debug/test script that was likely used during development but should not be committed to the repository. The file tests the sanitize_for_log function, but there are already comprehensive tests in tests/test_log_sanitization.py. This script should either be moved to the tests/ directory as a proper test case, or removed entirely and added to .gitignore if it's meant for local development only.

This file modifies a TOKEN global variable in the main module (lines 6-7), which could have unintended side effects if the script is accidentally imported or run in an environment where the main module is already loaded. If this script must be kept, it should use proper test isolation techniques such as mocking or fixtures to avoid modifying global state.

This change appears to be a formatting-only modification (removing the leading space from line 1). While this makes the file more consistent, it doesn't relate to the PR's stated purpose of adding detailed dry-run logging.

The new dry-run logging feature lacks test coverage. While the codebase has comprehensive tests (test_main.py and tests/ directory), there are no tests verifying that the dry-run plan is correctly logged with folder names, rule counts, and action strings. Consider adding a test that mocks the sync_profile function with dry_run=True and verifies the log output includes the expected format for folders with different action types (Allow, Block, Bypass-Mode, Multi-Action).
