Single-issue rationale: nothing else currently open touches tools/git-hooks/, scripts/install-git-hooks.sh, or the local pre-commit dispatch chain.

Thinking Path

.pre-commit-config.yaml declares black, isort, flake8, autoflake, mypy and 75 hooks total, but nothing local ever ran any of them — the pre-commit hook slot held only the Target Branch Guard (a self-contained script, no pre-commit-framework dispatch). pre-commit.pre-commit-framework, sitting beside it, looked like it might be the framework's own generated dispatcher — I diffed it against the active pre-commit file rather than assuming: it's a stale copy of the same branch guard, from before the Dev_new_gui→main rename (still says "PROTECTED: main, master" / "ALLOWED: Dev_new_gui"). So the framework's dispatcher was never present under either name, confirming the issue's own diagnosis exactly.

scripts/install-git-hooks.sh is a thin copy mechanism (cp "$src" "$dest") — it doesn't construct hook logic itself, it copies tools/git-hooks/pre-commit verbatim. So the fix lands in the template, not the installer (the installer gets one doc-comment line noting the new behavior, no logic change).

A real, tracked mechanism I had to understand before trusting the fix: scripts/hooks/post-checkout self-syncs on every checkout and, via autobot-infrastructure/shared/scripts/hooks/inject-flock-wrapper (#1684), injects a flock block into .git/hooks/pre-commit to serialize commits across worktrees sharing one stash. It anchors on the literal string set -uo pipefail when that's present. My change keeps that line exactly where it was (the branch-guard section is untouched), so the injector keeps finding its anchor and this mechanism is unaffected — verified by reading the injector's source, not assumed.

What Changed

  • tools/git-hooks/pre-commit: branch-guard section byte-for-byte unchanged except its *) arm, which now falls through instead of exit 0, into a new section that runs pre-commit run --hook-stage pre-commit --files <staged> when the pre-commit binary is on PATH (staged files collected via git diff --cached --name-only --diff-filter=ACMR -z, NUL-delimited so a path with a space round-trips). Skips gracefully, with a one-line note, when the binary is absent — the hook stays a self-contained file with no hard dependency, same fallback framing git-hook enforcement silently dead: dangling pre-push symlink into deleted worktree; no pre-commit installed under explicit core.hooksPath #11598 already established.
  • scripts/install-git-hooks.sh: one doc-comment line; no logic change.
  • repo_tests/git_hooks_formatter_dispatch_16923_test.py (new, 8 tests): see Verification.

Verified end-to-end against a real checkout of this repo, not just the unit tests — black genuinely reformats a bad file and the commit is refused; re-adding lets it through; a release-branch commit is still blocked before the dispatch code path is even reached (confirmed by running the hook directly and by checking the would-be-reformatted file stays untouched).

Verification

pytest repo_tests/git_hooks_formatter_dispatch_16923_test.py repo_tests/git_hooks_installer_test.py repo_tests/git_hooks_executable_test.py repo_tests/hook_self_sync_atomic_test.py — 24 passed. The new test file uses a hand-rolled local hook in its own throwaway .pre-commit-config.yaml instead of real black/isort, so the dispatch mechanism is proven without depending on network access to a formatter's own pre-commit environment a fresh CI runner isn't guaranteed to have cached; it skips itself cleanly (not silently) if pre-commit isn't on PATH at all.

  • AC1 (corrected or refused locally): test_a_badly_formatted_staged_file_is_corrected_and_the_commit_refused, test_re_adding_the_corrected_file_lets_the_commit_through, test_an_already_well_formatted_commit_is_not_blocked (no unnecessary friction).
  • AC2 (branch guard still fires, from the same commit): test_the_target_branch_guard_still_blocks_protected_branches, test_the_target_branch_guard_still_blocks_master — both also assert the staged file is left unformatted, proving the dispatch never even ran.
  • AC3 (a shell-authored file is caught): every positive test creates its file via plain Path.write_text, never an editor tool — the hook doesn't know or care how a staged file was produced.
  • AC4 (fresh clone and fresh worktree): the base _seed_repo fixture is a fresh init+install every test; test_the_dispatch_also_works_when_installed_from_a_worktree re-verifies the same property after git worktree add + install there.
  • AC5 (negative control): test_negative_control_the_pre_16923_hook_would_not_have_caught_this reconstructs the pre-fix hook (branch guard only, dispatch section mechanically stripped, with an assertion that the strip actually removed it) and confirms the identical scenario the positive test relies on passes uncorrected — so the positive result isn't a fixture bug.
  • AC6 (hookless automation named and verified): test_the_bot_commit_workflow_never_installs_local_hooks asserts .github/workflows/auto-fix-generated-types.yml (the github-actions[bot] commit path) never calls install-git-hooks.sh.

black --check, isort --check-only (both pinned to the repo's exact pre-commit versions), flake8, bandit, detect-hardcoded-values.sh all clean. bash -n on both shell files.

#16923)

.pre-commit-config.yaml declares black/isort/flake8/autoflake/mypy and this
repo's own local guards, but nothing ran any of them locally: the local
`pre-commit` hook slot held only the Target Branch Guard -- a self-contained
script with no pre-commit-framework dispatch at all. The first thing that
ever ran black was CI, a full round-trip after every formatting mistake.
`pre-commit.pre-commit-framework`, sitting beside it, turned out to be a
stale copy of the SAME guard from before the Dev_new_gui->main rename, not
the framework's own dispatcher -- confirmed by diff, not assumed.

tools/git-hooks/pre-commit: the branch-guard section is untouched (still the
sync source for autobot-infrastructure's twin); its `*)` arm now falls
through instead of exiting, into a new section that dispatches staged files
to the `pre-commit` framework binary (`pre-commit run --hook-stage pre-commit
--files <staged>`) when it's on PATH, skipping gracefully otherwise so the
hook stays a self-contained file with no hard dependency. Verified end-to-end
against a real checkout of this repo (not just the unit tests below): an
unformatted file gets reformatted and the commit refused, a protected-branch
commit still blocks before the dispatch ever runs, and scripts/hooks/post-
checkout's separate flock-wrapper injection (#1684) targets the same `set
-uo pipefail` anchor this change preserves, so it keeps working unmodified.

repo_tests/git_hooks_formatter_dispatch_16923_test.py (new): uses a
hand-rolled local hook in the fixture's own .pre-commit-config.yaml instead
of the real black/isort, so the dispatch mechanism itself is proven without
depending on network access to a formatter's own pre-commit environment a
fresh CI runner may not have cached. Covers: an unformatted file (created via
plain file write, never touched by an editor tool) is corrected and the
commit refused, then succeeds once re-added; an already-clean commit is not
blocked; the branch guard still blocks release/master with the file left
untouched (proving the dispatch never ran); the same property holds when
installed from a worktree; a negative control reconstructing the pre-#16923
hook (guard only) confirms the identical scenario would NOT have been caught
by it; and github-actions[bot]'s auto-fix-generated-types.yml is confirmed to
never call scripts/install-git-hooks.sh, so it stays hook-less by
construction rather than by an assumption nothing checks.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The local pre-commit hook now runs the target branch guard, then dispatches staged files to the pre-commit framework when available. The post-checkout hook keeps this template synchronised without replacing generated framework hooks.

Changes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Hook dispatch and installation contract
tools/git-hooks/pre-commit, scripts/install-git-hooks.sh, changelog/unreleased/16923-precommit-formatter-dispatch.md
The hook preserves branch checks, collects staged files with NUL-safe handling, and runs the pre-commit framework when available. The installer documentation and changelog describe the behaviour.
Post-checkout hook synchronisation
scripts/hooks/post-checkout
The post-checkout hook synchronises the tracked pre-commit template, preserves generated framework hooks, backs up replaced hooks, and retains legacy wrapper behaviour when the template is absent.
Dispatch behaviour validation
repo_tests/git_hooks_formatter_dispatch_16923_test.py
Tests cover formatter correction, commit blocking, re-adding corrected files, already formatted files, worktree installation, and unavailable pre-commit.
Guard and automation regressions

Explanation

Issue #16923 requires a test for an unformatted Python file created by a shell command or generator. repo_tests/git_hooks_formatter_dispatch_16923_test.py creates files with Path.write_text, not with a shell command. The test therefore does not cover the required shell-created-file path. The hook does preserve the Target Branch Guard, dispatch NUL-delimited staged paths, support fresh worktrees, include a negative control, and leave the named bot workflow hookless. The post-checkout tests also preserve the canonical hook after checkout.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Test the unavailable-binary fallback without skipping the module.

This skip prevents the suite from invoking the installed hook when pre-commit is absent. A future non-zero fallback or accidental command invocation can then block commits without a failing test. Keep the skip only for formatter-dispatch tests, and add a test that runs Git with a controlled PATH containing git and bash but no pre-commit.

Include type-changed files in formatter dispatch.

If a tracked symlink or submodule is replaced with an unformatted regular Python file, Git reports status T. This filter omits that path, leaves STAGED_FILES empty, and lets the commit bypass local formatter checks. Add T to the filter and add a regression test.

There is no PR queue limit, and this is not a request to defer this PR. Work proceeds one issue at a time without a cap on open PRs; review capacity is the constraint.

This notice only means the count is high enough to be worth a glance for a runaway — something opening PRs in a loop, or a merge pipeline that has stalled so nothing is draining.

Currently open:

If the queue is draining normally, ignore this. Otherwise:

  1. Check whether CI is dispatching at all — see the ci-dispatch-watchdog status on these PRs
  2. Merge the ones whose CI has finished and review has passed: gh pr merge <number> --squash --delete-branch
  3. Look for a loop opening near-identical PRs

Blocking finding: this PR's fix to tools/git-hooks/pre-commit will be silently overwritten by a third, already-installed, self-propagating dispatcher on the next git checkout, discarding both the new formatter dispatch and (more importantly) the AC2 protected-branch guard.

Mechanism (.git/hooks/post-checkout:112-116, tracked in-repo as scripts/hooks/post-checkout):

elif [ -f "$PRECOMMIT_HOOK" ] && ! grep -q "Issue #1689" "$PRECOMMIT_HOOK" 2>/dev/null; then
    mv "$PRECOMMIT_HOOK" "$FRAMEWORK_HOOK"
    cp "$WRAPPER_SRC" "$PRECOMMIT_HOOK"
    ...

WRAPPER_SRC is scripts/hooks/pre-commit-branch-guard-wrapper — a different, already-tracked hook implementation (221 lines, added across #1689/#2512/#2697/#2761) that also dispatches to pre-commit run --files, independently of this PR.

This PR's new tools/git-hooks/pre-commit (head 6685f1feb3a83a6a6284ba0d7d6fa4f4cd675255) never contains the literal string Issue #1689 (verified: git show 6685f1feb:tools/git-hooks/pre-commit | grep -c "Issue #1689" → 0). So the very next branch checkout on any machine where post-checkout has already self-synced (which it does to every worktree per its own step 6) trips this elif and replaces the installed .git/hooks/pre-commit — this PR's fix — with pre-commit-branch-guard-wrapper.

That wrapper does not enforce the protected-branch guard at all: grep -c "release\|master" scripts/hooks/pre-commit-branch-guard-wrapper → 0. Its "branch guard" comment refers only to detecting a mid-commit branch switch (stash contamination), not blocking commits to release/master. So once the swap happens, issue #16923's AC2 — "The Target Branch Guard still fires — it must not be traded away for the formatter" — is not durably satisfied by this PR in the real deployed environment, only in the PR's own throwaway fixture (which has no post-checkout hook and therefore never exercises this override path).

The PR body shows the author read post-checkout step 5 (flock injection, #1684) and reasoned about it explicitly, but says nothing about step 4 (the wrapper auto-install/self-sync at lines 87-127) — the "verified end-to-end against a real checkout of this repo" claim doesn't appear to have included an actual git checkout cycle, which is exactly the trigger for this override.

This is the same class of issue a peer review already flagged for #16923: this PR is "the fallback tier, not the only one." Recommend reconciling the two dispatchers (either fold this fix's logic into pre-commit-branch-guard-wrapper and have install-git-hooks.sh/post-checkout converge on one canonical hook, or change post-checkout's detection string so it recognizes and preserves this PR's hook) before merge — otherwise the fix silently self-reverts on the next checkout for every developer whose post-checkout hook is already active.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Resolve the effective hooks directory for linked worktrees.

Git uses the shared git-common-dir/hooks directory by default for linked worktrees. git rev-parse --git-dir instead returns the per-worktree administrative directory, so HOOKS_DIR normally points to a non-existent hooks child. The guard at line 129 then skips both pre-commit synchronisation branches.

Resolve Git's effective hooks path instead of appending /hooks to --git-dir. Honour absolute core.hooksPath values and resolve relative values from the active worktree root. Without an override, use the shared common hooks directory.

Preserve an existing formatter-dispatch backup.

mv replaces pre-commit.pre-formatter-dispatch if that file already exists. After a customised hook is backed up, a later template update moves the previously installed template over that backup. This destroys the customised hook that the backup was intended to preserve.

Create a unique backup name, or retain the existing backup before moving the current hook.
