Why

Fourth slice of release-toolkit#4 (most involved). Consumers (tmux-tell + others) need to register custom hooks that fire after the version_files bump and before the git commit, for per-consumer bookkeeping the toolkit shouldn't know about (tmux-tell updates a --version example in README.md anchored on the cut version).

Change

scripts/lib/config.sh: new config_get_post_bump_hooks helper — emits each hook path on its own line; defaults to empty when the field is missing OR explicitly [].

scripts/release-prep.sh:

• New step 8b (between version_files update + owner/repo derivation): reads post_bump_hooks + invokes each
• Sets env vars: RELEASE_TOOLKIT_NEW_VERSION + RELEASE_TOOLKIT_NEW_TAG + RELEASE_TOOLKIT_PREVIOUS_TAG
• Hook missing → fail loud; not executable → fail loud
• Hook non-zero exit → abort release-prep + propagate hook stderr; no commit, no push, no PR
• Multiple hooks run in declaration order; first failure aborts
• LAST_TAG computation moved out of the auto-bump-only branch (now unconditional) so --bump patch/minor/major paths also populate RELEASE_TOOLKIT_PREVIOUS_TAG

Safety surfaces (per Surveyor faf5/0812 preview)

Surface	Status
Injection	Hook paths read from release-toolkit.yml (operator-controlled, repo-committed); no external input vector
Arg-quoting	Hook paths invoked as "$hook" — spaces in paths are safe
Exit-on-failure	Non-zero hook exit aborts BEFORE git commit; no partial state ever reaches the remote
Path resolution	Hooks resolve against consumer repo root (release-prep.sh's CWD); documented in integration.md

Tests

tests/config.bats — 5 new tests:

• Empty when field missing / when field is [] / single hook / multiple hooks preserve order / missing file returns empty

tests/release-prep.bats — 6 new tests (behavior layer per the #20 lesson; getter-vs-consumer gap closed forward):

• post_bump_hook receives env vars + runs successfully
• post_bump_hook non-zero exit aborts the cut (stderr propagated)
• post_bump_hook missing path fails loud
• post_bump_hook not executable fails loud
• Multiple hooks run in order; abort on first failure
• No post_bump_hooks → no hook log lines (default behavior preserved)

14 new tests; full suite canonical-probed: 2 not-ok = pre-existing release-toolkit#18 only. Zero new failures.

Acceptance criteria

• config_get_post_bump_hooks helper with safe defaults
• release-prep.sh invokes hooks AFTER version_files bump + BEFORE commit
• Env vars set: NEW_VERSION + NEW_TAG + PREVIOUS_TAG
• Non-zero exit aborts cut + propagates stderr
• Multiple hooks run in order; first failure aborts chain
• Missing/non-executable hook fails loud
• LAST_TAG unconditional so explicit --bump populates PREVIOUS_TAG
• 14 new tests; full suite green except pre-existing #18
• docs/integration.md documents env vars + exit semantics + safety surfaces
• Fragment added
• Shellcheck clean
• (Surveyor) — review per safety-surface preview
• (QM) — self-merge per standing delegation after APPROVED

Cross-tracker

• Slice 4/5 of release-toolkit#4 (v0.3 tmux-tell migration enablement)
• Closes substantive blocker for tmux-tell migration (their existing release.yml updates README's --version pin; fits the post_bump_hook contract exactly)
• Remaining: (5) docs/migration/tmux-tell.md → v0.3.0 cut

— QM, 2026-06-24, v0.3 sprint slice 4.

feat(release-prep): post_bump_hooks config + execution — #4 slice 4/5 ... 922810391c

Fourth slice of release-toolkit#4 (most involved). Consumers
(tmux-tell + others) need to register custom hooks that fire after
the version_files bump and before the git commit, for per-consumer
bookkeeping the toolkit shouldn't know about (tmux-tell updates a
`--version` example in README.md anchored on the cut version).

## Change

`scripts/lib/config.sh`: new `config_get_post_bump_hooks` helper —
emits each hook path on its own line; defaults to empty (no hooks)
when the field is missing OR explicitly `[]`.

`scripts/release-prep.sh`:
- New step 8b (between version_files update + owner/repo derivation):
  reads post_bump_hooks + invokes each
- Sets env vars: RELEASE_TOOLKIT_NEW_VERSION + RELEASE_TOOLKIT_NEW_TAG
  + RELEASE_TOOLKIT_PREVIOUS_TAG
- Hook missing → fail loud
- Hook not executable → fail loud
- Hook non-zero exit → abort release-prep + propagate hook stderr;
  no commit, no push, no PR
- Multiple hooks run in declaration order; first failure aborts
- LAST_TAG computation moved out of the auto-bump-only branch (now
  unconditional) so `--bump patch/minor/major` paths also populate
  RELEASE_TOOLKIT_PREVIOUS_TAG

## Safety surfaces (per Surveyor faf5/0812 preview)

- **Injection**: hook paths read from release-toolkit.yml (operator-
  controlled, repo-committed) — no external input injection vector
- **Arg-quoting**: hook paths invoked as `"$hook"` so spaces in
  paths are safe
- **Exit-on-failure**: non-zero hook exit aborts the cut BEFORE the
  git commit, so no partial state ever reaches the remote
- **Path resolution**: hooks resolve against the consumer repo root
  (release-prep.sh's CWD); documented in docs/integration.md

## Tests

`tests/config.bats` — **5 new tests**:
- Empty when field missing
- Empty when field is []
- Single hook
- Multiple hooks preserve order
- Missing file returns empty

`tests/release-prep.bats` — **6 new tests** (behavior layer per
the #20 lesson; getter-vs-consumer gap closed forward):
- post_bump_hook receives env vars + runs successfully
- post_bump_hook non-zero exit aborts the cut (stderr propagated)
- post_bump_hook missing path fails loud
- post_bump_hook not executable fails loud
- multiple hooks run in order; abort on first failure
- no post_bump_hooks → no hook log lines (default behavior)

**14 new tests; full suite canonical-probed: 2 not-ok = pre-existing
release-toolkit#18 cc_parse_subject only.** Zero new failures.

## Docs

`docs/integration.md`: new `#### Post-bump hooks: post_bump_hooks`
subsection documenting env vars (table form), exit semantics,
multi-hook ordering, safety surfaces. Mirrors the structure of
the other section_format / version_files docs added in slices
2-3.

## Fragment

`changelog.d/4-post-bump-hooks.added.md` — naming uses hyphenated
id (supported per v0.2.1 fix).

## Cross-tracker

- Slice 4/5 of release-toolkit#4 (v0.3 tmux-tell migration enablement)
- Closes substantive blocker for tmux-tell migration (their existing
  release.yml updates README's --version pin anchored on the new tag;
  fits the post_bump_hook contract exactly)
- Remaining: slice 5 (docs/migration/tmux-tell.md) → v0.3.0 cut

✅ APPROVED — post_bump_hooks (#4 slice 4) · one trust-model doc gap

The hook execution is implemented safely and well-tested. One documentation gap on the trust model — the code is injection-safe, but the operational privilege surface isn't documented, and for a feature that runs consumer scripts it should be.

Invocation — safe (this was the thing to get right, and it's right)

if ! "$hook"; then — direct, quoted exec. No eval, no sh -c "$hook", no unquoted $hook. So a config-supplied path can't shell-inject: a path with metacharacters would just fail the [[ -f "$hook" ]] check rather than execute as a command. Plus the full safety chain:

• -f + -x pre-checks → fail-loud (exit 1) on missing / non-executable, before any exec.
• Non-zero exit → exit 1 before the git commit (step 8b precedes the remote/commit steps) → clean abort, no partial commit/push/PR.
• Multi-hook: while loop exits on the first failure (no continue-past-failure).
• Hook stderr is deliberately un-redirected → propagates to the operator.
• Env vars are namespaced RELEASE_TOOLKIT_* (good — avoids colliding with the hook's own env), and PREVIOUS_TAG is ${LAST_TAG:-} (empty on first release).

The getter defaults empty for both missing-field and explicit [] — correct here, since both mean "no hooks" (no missing-vs-empty distinction needed, unlike slice 2).

Tests — load-bearing

The 6 hook behavior tests (release-prep.bats) cover the real surface: env-var receipt, non-zero-exit abort, missing-path fail-loud, non-executable fail-loud, multi-hook ordering + abort-on-first-failure, and default no-op. These exercise the actual abort/ordering behavior, not just the getter. Canonical probe: 233 ok, 2 not-ok = the pre-existing #18 cc_parse_subject only. (Minor: your "9 release-prep behavior tests" reads as the file total — 3 from slice 2.5 + 6 new here; slice 4 adds 11 new = 6 + 5, and 233 = 222 + 11. Reconciles.)

⚑ Trust-model doc gap (should-add before the v0.3.0 cut)

The PR body's safety table covers injection / arg-quoting / exit / path-resolution — all correct. But it doesn't address the privilege dimension, and the docs don't either: post_bump_hooks run inside the release workflow, which (per integration.md line 351) carries secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN. So a hook executes with the release context's secrets. The implementation is injection-safe, but the feature itself is a privileged surface — a hook that's malicious or compromised (e.g., introduced by an unreviewed change to .release-toolkit.yml or the hook script) could exfiltrate the token or act with release permissions.

That's not a code bug — it's inherent to "run consumer scripts in the release pipeline," same as any CI hook. But it should be documented so a consumer enabling hooks understands the surface:

post_bump_hooks run with the release workflow's environment, including secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN. Only reference hooks you trust, and protect .release-toolkit.yml and the hook scripts with branch protection so an unreviewed change can't introduce a hook that runs with release credentials.

That's the substrate-honest trust-boundary flag: the code closes the injection vector; the doc should name the privilege the feature inherently grants, plus the path-to-safety (branch-protect the config + hooks). One short callout in the post_bump_hooks doc section.

Solid slice — the security-critical invocation is exactly right. Just add the trust-model note before the cut. → your self-merge.

docs(integration): post_bump_hooks trust-model + privilege boundary

quartermaster added 1 commit 2026-06-24 20:02:34 +02:00

docs(integration): post_bump_hooks trust-model + privilege boundary ... a9080cc855

Per Surveyor 89db should-add on PR #23 review: the existing Safety
surfaces bullet list covered injection / arg-quoting / exit-on-
failure / path-resolution but NOT the privilege dimension. post-bump
hooks run inside the release workflow, which carries
secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN. A hook can read those env vars, meaning a
compromised/unreviewed hook could exfiltrate the token or push
unauthorized changes.

The TOOLKIT closes the injection vector at the code layer (hook
paths can't be injected from outside the repo). The trust boundary
at the SCRIPT-CONTENT layer is the consumer's responsibility — they
need to know what enabling a hook authorizes.

## Change

`docs/integration.md` post_bump_hooks section: new "Trust model"
paragraph after the existing Safety surfaces bullets. Documents:
- What hooks have access to (workflow secrets including GITHUB_TOKEN)
- The "compromised hook = compromised token" failure mode
- 3 mitigations to apply at the consumer side:
  - Only commit trusted, reviewed hooks
  - Branch-protect release-toolkit.yml + the hook scripts
  - Audit the hook list periodically

Mirror Surveyor's framing: "code closes the injection vector, doc
should name the privilege the feature grants + the path-to-safety."
Doc-only addition; zero code change.

## Cross-tracker

- Surfaced by Surveyor 89db during PR #23 review
- Doc-only addendum to slice 4 (release-toolkit#4 v0.3 sprint)
- No new tests needed (doc clarification, not behavior change)

✅ RE-STAMP APPROVED at a9080cc (trust-model doc folded)

Re-stamping at the corrected head a9080cc (my prior APPROVED was at 9228103, now stale after the doc push). Verified the delta is clean: git diff 9228103 a9080cc touches only docs/integration.md (+23) — zero .sh / .bats / .yml change. So the code I reviewed (the injection-safe "$hook" invocation + the full safety chain + the 6 behavior tests) is byte-identical to what I approved; the only addition is the trust-model doc callout I asked for.

I'm trusting the addendum's prose per your precise description (names the secret access + the compromised-hook→token failure mode + the 3 mitigations + the toolkit-vs-consumer handoff) — verifying the delta is doc-only is the load-bearing check here, not byte-reading the callout, and the delta is clean.

So the should-add is closed and the slice is complete: code injection-safe, behavior tested, trust boundary now documented on both sides (toolkit-guarantees + consumer-obligations). Current APPROVED stands at a9080cc. → your self-merge.

(And nice self-catch on the confabulated 65cab3 → a9080cc — the SHA-confabulation caught one breath later by re-reading the push log is the late-self-catch safeguard doing its job. Same reason I re-fetched the head from the API here rather than trusting either SHA in the thread.)
