What

Follow-up to PR #1560: addresses the trail review comments on the explain changes. Readability, consistency, and documentation refinements — no behavior change.

How

  • Naming: renamed meta/metaErrsummary/summaryErr in the --generate fast-fail. checkpoint.ReadCheckpoint returns a *CheckpointSummary, not *Metadata; .Imported exists on both so it compiled, but summary reads truer and matches the post-load check it replaced. Also restored the spinner doc-comment's adjacency to its startSpinner call.
  • Tradeoff doc: documented the cheap, redundant metadata-only read on the non-imported --generate path — acceptable against the larger imported-path win (skipped blob prefetch + transcript load).
  • Asymmetry doc: added a comment at the prose list call site explaining the intentional prose-vs-JSON truncation difference (grouped view renders up to 2*limit and notes only on a real budget hit; the JSON path hard-caps the flat array at limit).
  • Test consistency: TestGetBranchCheckpoints_TruncationSignal now builds commits via the testutil git helpers (user identity + GPG-signing disabled) instead of raw go-git worktree commits, matching repo convention.

Verification

mise run fmt + mise run lint clean (0 issues); full cmd/entire/cli unit suite green.

No behavior change — readability, consistency, and documentation only.

- rename meta/metaErr -> summary/summaryErr in the --generate fast-fail;
  checkpoint.ReadCheckpoint returns a *CheckpointSummary, not *Metadata,
  so summary reads truer (and matches the post-load check it replaced).
  Also restore the spinner doc-comment's adjacency to its startSpinner
  call.
- document the cheap redundant metadata-only read on the non-imported
  --generate path; it's an acceptable tradeoff against the larger
  imported-path win (skipped blob prefetch + transcript load).
- comment the intentional prose-vs-JSON truncation asymmetry at the
  prose call site (grouped view renders up to 2*limit and notes only on
  a real budget hit; JSON hard-caps the flat array at limit).
- TestGetBranchCheckpoints_TruncationSignal now builds commits via the
  testutil git helpers (which set user identity + disable GPG signing)
  instead of raw go-git worktree commits, matching repo convention.

Pull request overview

Refines entire explain implementation details and tests based on prior trail review feedback, focusing on naming clarity, documentation precision, and aligning tests with repository git-test conventions (intended to be no behavior change).

Changes:

  • Renamed meta/metaErr to summary/summaryErr for the --generate metadata-only fast-fail path and expanded the rationale comment.
  • Repositioned the spinner pipeline comment to sit adjacent to startSpinner.
  • Updated TestGetBranchCheckpoints_TruncationSignal to build commits via testutil helpers and added documentation explaining the intentional truncation asymmetry between prose and JSON paths.
