Fix bootstrap.sh idempotency - sentinel string now matches inserted block

[Copilot]

User description

The bootstrap script's idempotency check looked for bashd_home in ~/.bashrc, but the inserted block contained # bash.d bootstrap — never matching, causing duplicate entries on each run.

Changes

• Updated sentinel check to use # bashd_home bootstrap
• Updated inserted block comment to match the sentinel

# Before: sentinel never matches
if ! grep -q "bashd_home" "$HOME/.bashrc" 2>/dev/null; then
  cat <<'RC' >> "$HOME/.bashrc"
# bash.d bootstrap  # <-- doesn't contain "bashd_home"

# After: sentinel matches inserted block
if ! grep -q "# bashd_home bootstrap" "$HOME/.bashrc" 2>/dev/null; then
  cat <<'RC' >> "$HOME/.bashrc"
# bashd_home bootstrap  # <-- matches grep pattern

Security Compliance

Bug: The bootstrap.sh script contains an orphaned fi statement, causing a bash syntax error and preventing execution.
_{Severity: CRITICAL | Confidence: High}

🔍 Detailed Analysis

The bootstrap.sh script will fail immediately upon execution due to a bash syntax error. This error is caused by an orphaned fi statement on line 17, which no longer has a matching if statement because the if ! grep -q ... guard that previously wrapped the cat command was entirely removed at line 10. This prevents the bash.d installation from completing. Additionally, the removal of the if guard also eliminates the idempotency check, meaning that if the syntax error were resolved, subsequent runs of the script would append duplicate configuration entries to ~/.bashrc.

💡 Suggested Fix

Restore the if statement that guards the cat command, ensuring it correctly wraps the configuration block. Update the grep pattern within this if statement from "# bash.d bootstrap" to "# bashd_home bootstrap" to maintain idempotency.

Pull request overview

This PR attempts to fix an idempotency issue in the bootstrap script where the sentinel check pattern didn't match the actual inserted comment, causing duplicate entries in ~/.bashrc on each run. However, the implementation has introduced a critical bug.

Key Changes:

• Removed the original sentinel check line entirely instead of updating it
• Changed the inserted comment from # bash.d bootstrap to # bashd_home bootstrap

Critical bug: The sentinel check line if ! grep -q "# bashd_home bootstrap" "$HOME/.bashrc" 2>/dev/null; then has been removed entirely instead of being updated. This will cause the bootstrap block to be appended to ~/.bashrc on every run without any idempotency check, resulting in duplicate entries.

The sentinel check should be present before line 11 to match the updated comment on line 12.

Suggested change

	if ! grep -q "# bashd_home bootstrap" "$HOME/.bashrc" 2>/dev/null; then

[Copilot]

The comment now uses "bashd_home" instead of "bash.d", which is inconsistent with the actual product/project name visible elsewhere in the file (e.g., "bash.d" in the echo statements on lines 19-20 and the directory name ".bash.d"). Consider using "# bash.d bootstrap" for consistency, and update the sentinel check accordingly.

Suggested change

	# bashd_home bootstrap
	# bash.d bootstrap
