Follow-up to the four commits that went straight to main during yesterday's godot-iap 3.3.3 release. Those bypassed review; this PR is the review, and it found real defects in my own guard.

The guard did not work

scripts/audit-release-sync-script.mjs was written to prevent a repeat of the outage in 2649f1df, where a dropped \ in sync-release-generated.sh made bash run a path as a command (exit 126). It matched line shapes with regexes. Three inputs reproduce the outage while the audit reports clean — each confirmed by actually running bash, not by reading the code:

Input bash guard before
blank line between the list and the orphaned path exit 126, is a directory clean
comment line there instead exit 126 clean
git add \ — backslash then a space exit 126 clean

The third is the nastiest: \ is an escaped space in bash, so the command ends there, but the old regex /\\\s*$/ accepted it as a continuation.

What replaces it

Bash's real rule, then a semantic check:

  1. A line continues only on an odd number of trailing backslashes at end of line.
  2. Join continued lines into logical commands.
  3. Reject any logical command whose first word is a repository path that is not executable — a directory or a plain file can only have become a command by accident. ./scripts/sync-versions.sh (mode 755) stays legal.

This catches the orphaned path regardless of what separates it from the list, which is the property the regex approach could never have.

Two more defects in the same file

  • cwd-relative reads. The audit read scripts/sync-release-generated.sh relative to the caller's cwd and threw ENOENT from anywhere else — while the script it guards resolves REPO_ROOT from its own location precisely to avoid that. CI passes today only because that job happens to have no working-directory.
  • Main-module check silently disabled the audit. import.meta.url === \file://${process.argv[1]}`` compares a percent-encoded URL against a raw path, so any checkout path containing a space made it false — and then the CI step printed nothing and exited 0, passing without auditing anything.

Release note contradicted itself

releases.tsx claimed Windows and Linux editors "stop logging a missing-library error", while its own integration note said include_tags only exists in Godot 4.8. The summary now matches the setup page.

Checked and deliberately not changed

  • kmp/maui "unpushed version bump" — reported as a defect, but unreachable: both lanes hard-fail at the earlier tag check for a real bump, and skip the commit step entirely in current mode.
  • A shell lint gate — would not have caught the original outage. Verified: bash -n and shellcheck both report nothing on the broken form, because an orphaned path is a valid command.
  • An Xcode pin on release-godot.yml — the lane compiles nothing; it inspects tracked binaries with vtool/otool and signs them. Declaring XCODE_VERSION without using it would just add the dead-config problem this release train already fixed once. macos-26 defaults to Xcode 26.6 and ships the Android SDK, both verified against the runner-images manifest.
  • Example/project.godot 4.5 → 4.7 — the example is not in the release zip, and every CI lane installs Godot 4.7.1.

Verification

node --test scripts/audit-release-sync-script.test.mjs (9 tests, each reproduction included), the audit from the repo root and from /tmp, bun run audit:docs, and docs typecheck.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation

    • Clarified that Godot 4.8 on Windows and Linux skips the Apple-only GDExtension without reporting missing-library errors during project scans.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved release synchronization checks for invalid file references, missing staged paths, and broken command continuations.
    • Ensured checks work consistently regardless of the starting directory.
  • Tests

    • Expanded coverage for continuations, comments, blank lines, executable paths, and diagnostic reporting.

The guard I pushed straight to main yesterday matched line shapes with
regexes, and an adversarial review found three inputs that reproduce the
exact exit 126 outage while the audit reported clean: a blank line between
the list and the orphaned path, a comment there instead, and a backslash
followed by a space (an escaped space in bash, not a continuation). All
three were confirmed by running bash.

Replace the shape matching with bash's own continuation rule — a line
continues only on an odd number of trailing backslashes at end of line —
then join logical commands and reject any whose first word is a repository
path that is not executable. That catches the orphan regardless of what
separates it, and still allows './scripts/sync-versions.sh'. Tests cover
each reproduction.

Also resolve paths from the module instead of the caller's cwd, the way
sync-release-generated.sh already does, and fix the main-module check,
which compared a percent-encoded URL against a raw argv path and silently
exited 0 on any checkout path containing a space.

The release note contradicted itself: the summary claimed the errors stop
while its own integration note said the key only works on Godot 4.8.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The release note clarifies Godot 4.8 platform behavior. The release-sync audit now follows shell continuation rules, validates paths from the repository root, detects missing git add commands, and adds broader test coverage.

Release-sync audit

Layer / File(s) Summary
Logical shell-line parsing
scripts/audit-release-sync-script.mjs
The script joins shell continuation lines, tracks logical-line start numbers, skips blank and comment lines, and identifies runnable paths.
Audit validation and test coverage
scripts/audit-release-sync-script.mjs, scripts/audit-release-sync-script.test.mjs
The audit validates git add paths and orphaned continuations relative to the repository root. Tests cover continuation, path, token, and committed-script cases.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7616c

The release-sync audit can still accept a path outside the repository and report an inaccurate result, even though Git cannot stage that path. This is a bounded correctness risk that should be fixed or explicitly accepted before relying on the audit.

Comment thread scripts/audit-release-sync-script.mjs
bash deletes the backslash-newline pair outright, so `llms.tx\<newline>t`
is the single token llms.txt. The joiner inserted a space there, which
would have split one staged path into two nonexistent ones and failed the
audit closed. Regression test included.

Comment thread scripts/audit-release-sync-script.mjs
git refuses to stage outside the work tree, so a token with a stray ../
fails the release rather than this audit — the release-only failure the
guard exists to prevent. Resolve each token and require it to stay inside
REPO_ROOT, while still allowing the root itself so 'git add .' passes.
