_write_lockwas preserving the arbitrary insertion order oflock.fileswhen serialising totemplate.lock, making diffs noisy and the output non-deterministic across syncs.Changes
_sync_helpers.py:existing_filesis now built withsorted(...)andlock = dataclasses.replace(lock, files=existing_files)is unconditional — previously the replace only happened when files were missing from disk, so a no-missing-files sync left the list unsorted.test_sync.py: Tightenedtest_write_lock_preserves_all_existing_filesto assert exact order rather thansorted(data["files"]). Addedtest_write_lock_files_sorted_alphabeticallyto cover the unsorted-input case directly.Original prompt
