scripts/install.sh runs with set -euo pipefail, so referencing an unset DOTFILES in [ -z "$DOTFILES" ] will terminate the script (-u). Use a safe expansion like [ -z "${DOTFILES:-}" ] (or initialize DOTFILES before the check) to avoid an immediate failure when DOTFILES is not exported.

Suggested change

	if [ -z "$DOTFILES" ]; then
	if [ -z "${DOTFILES:-}" ]; then

In other scripts in this PR, detect_os is used for its side effects (populating variables like OS/DISTRO) rather than as a function that prints a value. Capturing it via detected_os=$(detect_os) is likely to set detected_os to empty and incorrectly hit the “Unsupported OS” branch. Make this consistent with the rest of the repo: call detect_os without command substitution and branch on the variable it sets (or adjust detect_os to reliably echo the OS string if that’s the intended contract).

Suggested change

	local detected_os=$(detect_os)
	case "$detected_os" in
	macos)
	OS="mac"
	;;
	linux)
	OS="linux"
	;;
	*)
	log_error "Unsupported OS: $detected_os"
	detect_os
	case "$OS" in
	mac|linux)
	;;
	*)
	log_error "Unsupported OS: $OS"

This script uses set -euo pipefail, so if docker run ... fails, the script will exit immediately and never reach the if [ $? -eq 0 ] block. To actually record failures and continue to the summary, wrap the docker run in an if docker run ...; then ... else ... fi or temporarily disable -e around this call.

[Copilot]

With set -euo pipefail, using $(command -v brew) / $(command -v stow) inside [ is risky: when the command is not found, the command substitution returns non-zero and can terminate the script due to -e. Use if command -v brew >/dev/null 2>&1; then ... elif command -v stow >/dev/null 2>&1; then ... (same applies to other command -v checks in this script, e.g., brew/volta/nvim/apt/dnf/pacman).

[Copilot]

Same set -e + command-substitution pitfall as in scripts/update.sh: $(command -v brew) / $(command -v stow) can cause the script to exit when brew/stow is not installed (before your else branch runs). Prefer command -v brew >/dev/null 2>&1 style checks throughout this script as well.

[Copilot]

The logic doesn’t match the requirement in the comment: it only upgrades when < 0.11, but LazyVim requirement is >= 0.11.2. This means 0.11.0 and 0.11.1 would incorrectly be treated as “new enough” and won’t be upgraded. Parse and compare the patch version too (or compare the full semver string) so versions below 0.11.2 trigger the upgrade.

|| true makes the CI signal unreliable by allowing regressions in integration tests to pass silently. If the intent is “non-blocking but visible,” consider using GitHub Actions’ continue-on-error: true for this step (so failures are still reported) or remove || true once the suite is stable.

common.sh is likely sourced from scripts running with set -u; referencing $LOG_FILE directly will cause an unbound-variable exit when LOG_FILE is unset. Use ${LOG_FILE:-} in the guard and avoid expanding $LOG_FILE at all when it’s empty (e.g., branch to “echo only” logging when no log file is configured), including in log*() and show_step().

	if [ -n "$LOG_FILE" ]; then
	if [ -n "${LOG_FILE:-}" ]; then

local detected_os=$(detect_os) runs detect_os in a command-substitution subshell; if detect_os primarily sets globals (as implied by other usage like detect_os + $DETECTED_OS), this will not work reliably and may yield an empty detected_os. Call detect_os normally and then branch on the exported/global value it sets (e.g., DETECTED_OS) rather than capturing output.

This hard-codes /usr/bin/stow even after confirming stow is on PATH. On some systems stow may live elsewhere (e.g., /usr/local/bin/stow), so this can fail despite command -v stow succeeding. Use the resolved path from command -v stow (or just invoke stow) instead of /usr/bin/stow.

Suggested change

	/usr/bin/stow --ignore ".DS_Store" -v -R -t ~ -d "$DOTFILES" files
	stow --ignore ".DS_Store" -v -R -t ~ -d "$DOTFILES" files

[Copilot]

Same issue as scripts/update.sh: this hard-codes /usr/bin/stow even though stow was found via PATH. Invoke stow via PATH or use $(command -v stow) to avoid false failures on systems where stow isn’t installed in /usr/bin.

Suggested change

	/usr/bin/stow --ignore ".DS_Store" -v -D -t ~ -d "$DOTFILES" files
	stow --ignore ".DS_Store" -v -D -t ~ -d "$DOTFILES" files

If "$windows_user_dir" exists but has no entries, the glob "$windows_user_dir"/* will expand to the literal string ending in * (unless nullglob is set). That would set dirname="*" and incorrectly pick username="*". Add a directory existence check inside the loop (e.g., skip when ! -d "$dir"), or enable/disable nullglob for this section.

[Copilot]

With continue-on-error: true, CI will report success even when integration tests fail, which undercuts the purpose of adding the test suite in Phase 9. If the tests are expected to be flaky/partial, consider tightening the suite or marking specific checks as skippable, but keep the step failing the job (or split into required vs. informational test steps).

Suggested change

continue-on-error: true # Don't fail the job on integration test failures for now

--backup-dir assumes $2 exists; if the flag is provided without a value, set -u will terminate with an unhelpful “unbound variable”/argument error. Add an explicit check for a missing/empty value and emit a clear error message (and exit 1) before accessing $2.

Suggested change

	--backup-dir)
	--backup-dir)
	if [[ $# -lt 2 || -z "${2-}" ]]; then
	log_error "Missing value for --backup-dir; expected a path argument."
	echo "Run '$0 --help' for usage information." >&2
	exit 1
	fi

[Copilot]

Same issue as scripts/update.sh: --backup-dir will crash when passed without an argument due to set -u. Validate that $2 is present and non-empty and fail with a clear usage/error message.

Suggested change

	--backup-dir)
	--backup-dir)
	if [[ $# -lt 2 || -z "${2:-}" ]]; then
	log_error "--backup-dir requires a non-empty argument"
	echo "Run '$0 --help' for usage information."
	exit 1
	fi

if [ "$(command -v python)" ]; then is not a safe presence check under set -euo pipefail: if python is missing, command -v python returns non-zero and may cause the whole script to exit unexpectedly. Use an exit-status-based check (e.g., command -v python >/dev/null 2>&1) instead.

Suggested change

	if [ "$(command -v python)" ]; then
	if command -v python >/dev/null 2>&1; then

With continue-on-error: true, integration test failures won’t fail the workflow, which reduces the value of adding the test suite (regressions can merge unnoticed). Consider removing continue-on-error, or alternatively keep it but add a follow-up step that parses the result/report and fails the job for main/develop while still allowing PRs to be non-blocking if that’s the intent.
