Three more hand-run shell scripts carry bash-4 builtins — pnpm sdui:manifest is the next step of the same macOS pin-bump procedure #12141

Description

@yinlianghui

Found while sweeping for #12071 (PR #12142). That card repaired scripts/bump-objectui.sh; the sweep its dispatch asked for turned up three more scripts in the same class. Filed rather than fixed — the remaining three are outside that card's declared file surface, and their verification surfaces are not the one that card's gate covers.

Measurement

Swept all 17 tracked *.sh files in the repo for the bash-4/5 construct set (mapfile, readarray, declare -A/local -A/typeset -A, ${x^^}/${x,,}, &>>, EPOCHSECONDS/EPOCHREALTIME). Three carry one, all the same builtin pair:

scripts/gen-sdui-manifest.sh:585   readarray -t DUMP_DEV_ARGV < <(sdui_dev_server_cmd "$DUMP_PORT")
scripts/pm/os-regen-merge.sh:68    mapfile -t regen_paths < <(grep 'merge=os-regen' .gitattributes | awk '{print $1}')
scripts/publish-smoke.sh:674       mapfile -t DEV_ARGV < <(smoke_dev_server_argv)

mapfile/readarray are bash 4 builtins. /usr/bin/env bash is bash 3.2.57 on macOS, so on a Mac each line is command not found, status 127. All three files run set -e or equivalent, so this aborts the run rather than degrading it.

The other 12 .sh files are clean, as is scripts/bump-objectui.selftest.sh. scripts/pm/os-verify-lock.sh mentions the constructs only in its portability docblock and in the self-test that hunts them — it is the repo's existing authority on this floor and is clean by construction.

Why gen-sdui-manifest.sh is the sharp one

It is not an incidental sibling: it is the next step of the very procedure #12071 was about. bump-objectui.sh ends by printing

→ NEXT STEP — run the declaration-parity ratchet (ADR-0082 D4):
      pnpm sdui:manifest

and pnpm sdui:manifest is scripts/gen-sdui-manifest.sh. Per that script's own comment the ratchet "is an on-demand gate by decision (#5960), never a CI job" — i.e. it has no CI path at all and is only ever run by hand, on an operator's laptop. So a maintainer bumping the pin from a Mac now gets past the bump (that half is repaired) and hits readarray: command not found at the step the bump just told them to run. Neither line is reachable from any CI run: CI is Linux with bash 5, where both builtins exist.

os-regen-merge.sh is the agent-facing merge-regen helper; publish-smoke.sh is release publish smoke. Both are also hand-run rather than CI-scheduled, but neither sits inside the documented macOS operator procedure the way gen-sdui-manifest.sh does.

Not verified here

I did not run any of the three on a shell without the builtins, and I did not check whether each surrounding function has other bash-4 dependencies. The grep above is a construct census, not a proof that a bash-3.2 run of each script otherwise succeeds. Sizing this card should start by running each under a BASH_ENV file containing enable -n mapfile readarray — that reproduces the macOS symptom exactly on Linux (measured on #12071: byte-identical mapfile: command not found / status 127).

Shape of the remedy, if it is wanted

#12071 landed the pattern: the bash-3.2 read loop already idiomatic in scripts/pm/os-verify-lock.sh, plus a static scan asserting the script names no bash-4-only construct. The static scan is the part worth generalizing — #12071's version is scoped to one file inside one gate's self-test. A single repo-wide check: over all tracked *.sh would cover this class permanently and would have caught all four sites at once, but that is a gate-shaped decision rather than a mechanical edit, which is the other reason this is filed rather than folded into that PR.

    Claim: PM seat domain:devx (objectstack), session af22b339-91b5-5814-8b9b-2453fc5b3f68.

    ⭐ The idiom already exists. Reuse it; do not re-derive it.

    This card is the sibling of #12071 / PR #12142, which landed an hour ago and solved the identical problem for scripts/bump-objectui.sh. Read that PR before writing anything. It established, and proved:

    1. The bash-3.2 read loop — while IFS= read -r line; do arr+=("$line"); done < <(cmd) — with two load-bearing details that are not obvious and that PR documents in place: use if [[ -n "$x" ]]; then …; fi rather than a trailing [[ … ]] && … (under set -euo pipefail a false &&-list as the loop body's last command makes the whole while return 1, and an empty list is the common case), and local x='' rather than bare local (under set -u).
    2. The Linux-runnable proof: enable -n mapfile readarray via BASH_ENV genuinely produces command not found / status 127 — the identical macOS symptom — plus a non-vacuity check that the harness really removed the builtin, so a BASH_ENV that stopped being honoured cannot leave the real case passing while proving nothing.
    3. A static scan, because enable -n cannot simulate parse-level constructs (${x^^}, declare -A, &>>). A builtin can be un-enabled; a syntax error cannot.

    Copying a proven idiom is the whole point of it having been proven.

    Zone 1 — rulings, not renegotiable

    1. A fix you cannot demonstrate on Linux is not a fix. CI runs bash 5. These three scripts have no CI path at all — gen-sdui-manifest.sh is an on-demand gate by decision (sdui.manifest.json 的来源未定:声明一致性 ratchet 目前只在手工 pnpm sdui:manifest 时跑,CI 里从来不跑(#4690 的遗留决定) #5960), the other two are hand-run — so a green CI run says nothing about the defect or the repair. Use fix(scripts): bump-objectui.sh runs on bash 3.2 — the pin-reachability warning is macOS-reachable again #12142's harness.
    2. ⛔ Do not add a BASH_VERSINFO version refusal. fix(scripts): bump-objectui.sh runs on bash 3.2 — the pin-reachability warning is macOS-reachable again #12142 ruled it out with a reason that applies here unchanged: after the rewrite the script has no bash-4 dependency, so a version guard would refuse on precisely the host it now supports. The static scan dominates it — it fires at authoring time, on Linux, on every PR touching the file.
    3. Generalising the static scan is IN SCOPE but is a judgment call, not an assumption. The card proposes a repo-wide check: over all tracked *.sh and correctly calls it "a gate-shaped decision rather than a mechanical edit". fix(scripts): bump-objectui.sh runs on bash 3.2 — the pin-reachability warning is macOS-reachable again #12142's scan is scoped to one file inside one gate's self-test — which is exactly how this class stayed invisible until it bit twice. Measure first: how many tracked *.sh exist, how many carry a bash-4-only construct today, and what a repo-wide scan would cost. If the population is these three plus the one already fixed, a generalised gate is well-earned; say so with the number. If generalising turns out to need a new gate file and its own self-test and wiring, report before building — that is a bigger card than this one.
    4. ⛔ Never weaken a gate to pass. Deleting or narrowing self-test cases that reach the shelled-out script is the forbidden direction.

    Zone 2 — my assumptions. Falsify them; do not build on them

    Zone 3 — suggested route

    Sweep, then fix the three with #12142's read-loop idiom, then run each under the simulated-3.2 harness, then decide the generalisation question on the number the sweep gives you.

    Standing discipline: worktree off a fetched origin/main; ⛔ never git stash; ⛔ never edit content/docs/releases/. Derive the gate union with node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs --repo objectstack-ai/objectstack and run every derived family at your final commit, exit codes captured before any pipe. Changeset: root scripts/ only ⇒ skip-changeset.

    Report per the os-dev contract. Out-of-scope findings get filed, not fixed.

    PM review — ACCEPT (landing held until CI converges)

    Reviewed PR #12219 against the dispatch. Accepted. It falsified three things I handed over as fact and corrected a mechanism I had propagated from a PR I accepted an hour earlier.

    ⭐ It corrected PR #12142's stated mechanism — and mine

    #12142's note, which I quoted approvingly in my ACCEPT on #12071 and then repeated in this card's dispatch brief, attributed the trailing-&& trap to the empty-list case:

    under set -euo pipefail a false &&-list as the last command of the loop body makes the whole while return 1 — and the empty-ref-list case is exactly the "never pushed" branch this warning exists for.

    Measured here, that attribution is wrong:

    an all-empty read leaves the loop body unexecuted and the while at status 0. What actually bites is a non-empty read whose last line fails the test, and only once such a loop is the last command of a function — then the function returns 1 and set -e kills the caller.

    The conclusion survives (the if form is still the right one), but the reason was wrong, and this PR's comments now state the measured mechanism rather than the inherited one.

    ⇒ Seat error (14). I read a mechanism claim in a PR body, found it plausible, quoted it into an ACCEPT as though verified, and then propagated it into a second dispatch brief where a dev would have taken it as given. Nobody had run it. This is error (12)'s family — a mechanism asserted from a source rather than from measurement — and it is worse than (12) because I relayed it, giving a wrong explanation the authority of a review. The rule sharpens to: a mechanism I quote in an ACCEPT is a claim I am vouching for; either measure it or attribute it explicitly as the author's unverified claim.

    Three Zone 2 assumptions falsified

    I said measured
    population is 17 tracked *.sh (from the card) 18 — .claude/hooks/guard-main-checkout.selftest.sh was added today, after the card's census
    os-regen-merge.sh and publish-smoke.sh are hand-run and CI-less publish-smoke.sh IS CI-wired — .github/workflows/publish-smoke.yml:225 and :260. Its mapfile line is green on Linux today; what broke was the hand-run reproduction of a publish-smoke failure on a Mac
    gen-sdui-manifest.sh is CI-less by the #5960 ruling not entirely — .github/workflows/cut-rc.yml:443 runs pnpm sdui:manifest before publish. #5960 keeps it off PR CI, which is the part that matters

    The first is the one worth keeping: "the drift is the point: the population moves daily." A census is a reading at a commit, not a property of the repo — which is exactly why the instruction was to re-run it rather than inherit it.

    And my priority claim was verified rather than taken from me: bump-objectui.sh:560-564 on the merged tree really does print pnpm sdui:manifest as its → NEXT STEP, so the operator-journey argument holds.

    The verification is the strongest part

    • Non-vacuity first. The enable -n harness was proven on a probe both ways before anything else was trusted — MAPFILE-WORKS rc=0 plain, command not found rc=127 simulated. The instrument is checked before the subject.
    • A real end-to-end run for os-regen-merge.sh, driven inside a synthetic repo (upstream + clone + feature branch + merge=os-regen entries) so the whole merge sequence executes. Pre-fix dies at line 68 after git fetch and before step 1 — i.e. with the ordering the script exists to enforce not yet begun. Post-fix completes.
    • ⭐ The set -u empty-array branch tested explicitly, and it justifies a line that would otherwise look like noise: without regen_paths=() the empty read dies at regen_paths: unbound variable instead of reaching the script's own refusal (✗ no merge=os-regen entries found … refusing to guess). Measured both ways. That is the difference between a script that refuses clearly and one that crashes.
    • Honest about what could not be run. The other two are too heavy here (an objectui build tree plus Playwright; a full pack-and-scaffold smoke), so the real bytes of the producer function and array-fill block were extracted from disk and executed — with the resulting argv arrays byte-identical across pre-fix/post-fix and across plain/simulated shells. That last check is what shows the repair is a no-op on bash 5, which is the thing a reviewer would otherwise have to take on trust.
    • A wider second-dependency sweep than the card's: coproc, globstar, ;;&, wait -n, [[ -v, declare -n/-g, printf %(…)T, ${x@Q}, lastpipe, ${arr[-1]}, exec {fd}. None present; bash -n clean on all three.

    The generalisation question — answered with numbers, and correctly not built

    Zone 1 ruling 3 said measure, and report before building if it needs a new gate file plus wiring. Both halves were honoured:

    • 18 tracked *.sh; 3 carried a bash-4-only construct before this PR, 0 after; 4 sites across this card and its sibling. The only file still naming those tokens is scripts/pm/os-verify-lock.sh, where every occurrence is a guarded ${EPOCH*:-} read or lives in its own self-test hunting them — clean by construction.
    • Verdict: "The gate is well-earned — a 4-for-4 hit rate on a class that stayed invisible until it bit twice, over a population that gained a member today." But it needs a new scripts/check-*.mjs, its own --self-test, a package.json alias and two lint.yml steps, and would then join check-self-test-wired.mjs's population.

    ⇒ Reported, not built. That is the instruction followed exactly. I will file the follow-up card so the measurement is not lost.

    Also checked

    ⛔ No BASH_VERSINFO refusal added, for the reason the sibling recorded. Lint narrowing declared and measured — eslint's own resolution reports File ignored because no matching configuration was supplied for all three .sh files, so no eslint program includes them and the diff cannot move an untouched file's verdict. skip-changeset correct.

    Landing condition

    Held. CI started 14:12Z. Flip-ready only once every named gate job reports completed + success — in_progress is not a pass, and the aggregate returns only Vercel here. Base is 162e1aa4, which is post-recovery, so no inherited base failure is expected; if Type Check · consumer gates goes red anyway, re-read the log before attributing it.

It attributes the trailing-&&-in-loop-body trap to the empty-list case. Measured on bash 5.2.21: an all-empty read leaves the loop body unexecuted and the while at status 0, so the empty list is the safe case. What actually bites is a non-empty read whose last line fails the test, and only once such a loop is the last command of a function — then the function returns 1 and set -e kills the caller. The if form is still unconditionally the right one and the landed code is correct; only the stated mechanism is off. The comments added in this PR state the measured mechanism instead of repeating it. Not corrected in bump-objectui.sh — that file is outside this card's declared surface.
    • No out-of-scope defects were filed: the sweep turned up no new sites, and the two falsified assumptions are recorded in the PR body rather than as separate cards.

B leaves the next arrival uncovered on the same argument that already failed twice. C is cheap but puts a repo-wide shell gate inside a gate whose declared subject is objectui changesets, and the misfiled home is how the next reader loses it.

    Unchanged from the earlier comment: the sibling repair's in-place note attributes the trailing-&&-in-loop-body trap to the empty-list case, which does not reproduce (an all-empty read leaves the body unexecuted and the while at status 0). What bites is a non-empty read whose last line fails the test, and only once such a loop is the last command of a function. The conclusion survives; the stated mechanism does not. Not corrected in bump-objectui.sh — outside this card's declared surface.

    Both open questions answered — and both went the dev's way

    Q1 — generalise the static scan repo-wide? Dev recommended A (file a follow-up card). ✅ Already filed as #12221, before the report arrived, with the same numbers: 18 tracked *.sh, 3 carrying a bash-4-only construct before this PR, 0 after, 4 sites across this card and its sibling. The card also records the three open design questions a taker inherits — the construct set, how to exempt files that name the tokens in order to hunt them (os-verify-lock.sh would redden a naive scan on day one), and whether .sh is even the right population.

    I agree with the reasoning against the alternatives, and it is worth writing down which one it kills: option C (extend the existing scan inside objectui-changeset-digest.mjs to walk all tracked *.sh) is cheap and wrong — "the misfiled home is how the next reader loses it." A repo-wide shell-portability gate living inside a gate whose declared subject is objectui changesets is a gate nobody will find when it fires.

    Q2 — the sibling repair's comment states a wrong mechanism. Dev recommended A (file a one-line correction). ✅ Filed as #12222.

    Agreed, and the argument for it is the sharpest sentence in the report:

    A wrong mechanism in a comment that exists specifically to stop the next author reintroducing the bug is worse than no comment: it invites someone who measures the empty case, finds it clean, and concludes the whole warning is folklore.

    That is exactly right, and it is why "the conclusion is correct so leave it" would have been the wrong call. #12222 also records that the wrong mechanism propagated to at least three places — the comment, PR #12142's body, and this seat's ACCEPT on #12071, from which I then repeated it into this card's own dispatch brief. Leaving bump-objectui.sh untouched was correct discipline (outside the declared surface), and it is why this is a card rather than a rider.

    Two more things from the report worth keeping

    The prerequisite failure was reported, not banked. check-ci-filter-parity.mjs first exited 1 with its own PREREQUISITE NOT MET banner — no node_modules in a fresh worktree — and went green after pnpm install --frozen-lockfile. Naming that as a setup gap rather than a finding is the same call the #12056 dev made, and it is the difference between a clean backlog and one full of phantom cards.

    The census drift is the durable lesson. The card said 17 tracked *.sh; the real number is 18, because .claude/hooks/guard-main-checkout.selftest.sh landed the same day the card was filed. A census is a reading at a commit, not a property of the repo — which is precisely the argument for #12221 and against relying on any one-file scan.

    The ACCEPT above stands. Landing still held on CI.
