Route the editor re-entry by argv, and read the audit's blobs in one pass - #19
Conversation
…pass The editor checkpoint was routed by an environment variable, and an environment is inherited by every descendant. The checkers that pass consults run `git`, and after the install this repository documents, `git` on PATH IS this binary under a link: that child read the marker, took itself for somebody's editor, opened the user's editor on whatever its last argument happened to be, consulted the same checkers, ran `git` again, and did not stop. Measured on a machine with the shim installed, one `gh pr create` ended with the kernel out of process ids. A process is the editor because it was invoked as one, so `--as-editor` is a word on the command line and `Invoked` grew the third arm it always had in fact. The two variables that remain carry data and route nothing. The same walk found a second way round: `real_command` skips itself by file identity, which answers for one installation and cannot answer for two. Two copies on PATH -- a release binary beside a build under test -- each read the other as the real command and exec it back. A link that lands on a binary named `uphold` is not the real command either. The suite could wedge the machine it ran on, so `Run` puts each case in its own process group and kills what is left in it. `timeout` ends the process it started; it cannot end the ones that process left behind. For #2, the three items the last pass left open in `audit`: * The reachable blobs are read by one `git cat-file --batch` rather than one process per object, streamed so nothing holds a repository twice, and a run past a couple of thousand objects says what it is reading and how far it has got. A slow audit and a hung one looked alike, and the only move that offers a reader is to kill it. * A fetch of `refs/pull/*/head` that brings back nothing is asked about with `git ls-remote` rather than assumed unread. "The forge retains none" is a fact about a repository that has never opened a pull request; reading it as an unread surface put exit 0 out of reach for every one of them. * That note also carried fourteen literal spaces from a missing continuation.

Two from review of the change above. The drain waited for end of file on pipes the descendants also hold, so the group kill sat behind the runaway it was there to end. The direct child's exit is the signal; the reading moves to threads, because a child that fills a pipe nobody drains never reaches that exit. The regression case planted the link and asserted only that the run finished, which a run that never resolved git would satisfy too. A witness behind the link records the call, so 'no recursion' is told apart from 'no descendant', and PATH is written out rather than inherited so the only git in reach is the fixture's. Also states, where the reader looks for exit codes, that an object the batch names without content is a surface this run could not read.

Both majors were real; the second one was right about the assertion and wrong about the mechanism, which is worth recording. The drain. Correct, and it is the same defect the harness was added to fix, one layer up: The witness. The assertion was too weak and is fixed. The mechanism claim is not what happens: That call is what the recursion rode. The case now plants a witness BEHIND the link that records the call and execs the real git, so "no recursion" is told apart from "no descendant", and PATH is written out rather than inherited so the only git in reach is the fixture's. The doc line is added, in the exit-code paragraph. |

Three defects, one of which is a fork bomb on any machine that installed the shim.
The editor re-entry was routed by the environment
install_editorsetUPHOLD_SHIM_EDITORon the command it execs, and the re-entered process read it to know it was the editor. An environment is inherited by every descendant, and the descendants of the editor pass include thegitits own checkers run -- which, after the documented install, is this binary under a link. That child read the marker, took itself for somebody's editor, ran the user's editor on whatever its last argument happened to be (origin, forgit remote get-url origin), consulted the same checkers, rangitagain, and did not stop.Measured here: 38,310 processes, which is where this kernel runs out of process ids. It passed in CI because no CI runner has a
gitlink on PATH.A process is the editor because it was invoked as one, so the routing is a word:
uphold shim --as-editor <command> <file>, andInvokedgrew the third arm it always had in fact.UPHOLD_SHIM_EDITOR_REALandUPHOLD_SHIM_EDITOR_ARGVstay -- they carry data and route nothing, so agitthat inherits them does nothing with them.real_commandanswers for one installation and there can be twoIt skips itself by device and inode.
