Improvements and clean up related to thorough golangci-lint checking - #179
Merged
Conversation
golangci-lint runs only in CI (non-blocking), so its findings surface as GitHub annotations rather than failures, and `make test` never covered them. - Exclude goconst/gocognit for _test.go and set goconst.ignore-tests, since repeated literals in table-driven tests are idiomatic and long test tables are not complexity debt. This accounted for 25 of the 43 findings. - Add constants.go with log levels, validation issue types, severities and feature keys, replacing the magic strings in ahoy.go and config_validation.go. These are typo-prone domain vocabulary; "fatal" in particular triggers os.Exit. - Annotate the exec.Command call with //nolint:gosec,noctx. Executing user-defined commands is ahoy's core function, and it has no cancellation semantics that CommandContext would serve. - Add a standalone `make lint` target mirroring the CI step, kept out of `test:` while the remaining complexity findings are outstanding. The 8 remaining findings are all gocognit/nestif complexity in three functions; docs/lint-cleanup-plan.md covers that refactor and the steps to make lint blocking. The v2 module is left untouched — it is maintenance only. Behaviour is unchanged: the inconsistent "[warn]" prefix is asserted by the BATS suite and so was preserved rather than unified.
ahoy.go emitted both "[warn]" and "[warning]" for the same log level. Surveying the distribution first mattered, because the intuitive reading was backwards: "warn" was the incumbent with 2 call sites, is the only spelling the v2 module emits, and is the one asserted by 4 BATS assertions across both modules. "warning" was the lone outlier at ahoy.go:285, asserted nowhere. Standardising on "warn" therefore changes one line and no tests, keeps v3's output in parity with v2, and alters nothing anyone currently asserts on or greps for. logLevelWarning is removed; logLevelWarn is now the single definition, with a comment recording why that spelling won. The case for "warning" was that the other levels are all full words. That was not worth a user-visible change to two messages plus two BATS assertions with v3.0.0 in flight; docs/lint-cleanup-plan.md records the reasoning if it is ever revisited. Verified: make test, make lint, and all 132 BATS tests pass.

Correct the statement about where lint runs.
make lint now runs golangci-lint locally. Line 11 says that lint runs only in CI, which conflicts with Lines 72-76. State that this was true before Tier 4a, or describe CI as the existing automated lint path.

A value taken from .ahoy.yml (import paths, env file paths, command names, wrapped error strings) was interpolated into log messages unescaped, so an embedded newline could forge an additional log line with a different level prefix. That matters where logs are machine-parsed, e.g. in CI. Sanitisation is applied at the interpolation sites rather than inside logger(). Sanitising the assembled message was tried first and is wrong here: two fatal messages deliberately build multi-line help text with \n, and escaping the whole string collapsed them onto one unreadable line. errType is deliberately left alone. All four call-site values are logLevel* constants, so nothing attacker-influenced reaches it and a guard there would be dead code. Note this is log-forgery hardening, not a privilege boundary: anyone who can write .ahoy.yml can already have ahoy execute arbitrary commands. Adds logger_test.go covering the escaping, that a hostile value cannot forge a log record, and that intentional multi-line messages keep their formatting. Verified: make test, make lint (8 pre-existing findings, unchanged), all 132 BATS tests, and the real binary on both a hostile and a multi-line message.
The docs/ directory held wiki-era pages superseded by the documentation site at https://ahoy-cli.github.io/. Two of them were not merely redundant but actively wrong: Confirmation.md and Basic-Tips-and-Troubleshooting.md both document the {{args}} placeholder, which no longer exists in v3. Also drops the now-vestigial docs/_build entry from .gitignore. README is rewritten as a landing page rather than a full manual, going from 390 lines to 203: - Adds a prominent link to the documentation site, plus a table linking each guide and reference page. - Replaces the long per-feature sections (environment variables, aliases, optional imports, config validation, shell completion) with a condensed feature list that links to the corresponding page on the site. - Keeps a single representative YAML example so the README still shows what a config looks like at a glance. - Retains the full "What's new in v3" and "Upgrading from v2" sections, since that context is release-critical and not obviously discoverable elsewhere. - Fixes a stale readthedocs.io link that pointed at pre-v3 documentation. All site links were taken from the site's own navigation and checked to resolve. The all-contributors block is byte-identical, so the bot is unaffected.

Do not publish a password in a process argument.
The example expands DB_ENV_MYSQL_PASSWORD into -p.... MySQL documents this form as insecure because process-list tools may expose the password. (dev.mysql.com) Replace it with a protected option file, login path, or another non-argument secret mechanism, even though this is labelled “Without Ahoy”.

Document native Windows installation.
The release publishes ahoy-bin-windows-amd64.exe and ahoy-bin-windows-arm64.exe, but this section only gives WSL2 instructions. (github.com) Add a native Windows download and PATH step, or state that native Windows is unsupported.

Correct the example command count.

Describe the deprecated command accurately.
ahoy init prints a deprecation notice before running the same initialisation action, so “Both work identically” is not literally true. Say that both create the same configuration file, while only ahoy init emits the notice.
