feat(hooks)!: require approval for every hook, whatever supplied it - #153
Conversation
…152) Hook approval was a denylist: hooks from a repo's committed .wt.toml were gated, everything else ran unprompted on the grounds that "everything else is by construction something you wrote". That is a claim about a file on disk, and a file on disk is not self-evidently yours — ~/.config/wt/config.toml is as writable as anything else in $HOME, and a hook arriving from any source wt did not think to gate landed on the permissive side by default. Invert it. Nothing runs until approved: - approvals are recorded per (scope, sha256 of that source's hook commands). Scope is the repository for a .wt.toml, "user config" for the config file, so approving your own hooks covers every repo without pinning them to a checkout. - hashing the command set rather than the file's bytes means editing `pattern` or a [files] entry no longer costs a prompt, while editing a hook still does. - an unrecognised source gets no scope: it can never be trusted or recorded, so a future source fails closed rather than open. - [trust] prefix/exact in the config file whitelists paths you own; matching repos run hooks unasked and unrecorded. Config file only — a repository that could whitelist itself would not be gated at all. Prefix matches whole path segments, so ~/src/mine does not cover ~/src/mine-from-the-internet. - prompt-all overrides both approvals and [trust]: "ask me every time" has to mean every time. - wt untrust --global revokes the config file's approval; wt untrust reports a [trust] rule that still applies, including on the "nothing to revoke" path a whitelisted repo always takes. BREAKING CHANGE: hooks in your own config file now need approving once, and pre-0.4 trust records pinned file bytes rather than commands. They are not translated — the store is version 2 and older records are dropped with a warning on stderr. Run `wt trust` where you use hooks, answer the prompt, or whitelist a tree with [trust].
- [trust] entries expand environment variables, so `prefix = ["$SRC/"]` with SRC unset collapsed to "/" — one line that reads like it names a tree silently whitelisting every repository on the machine. A rule resolving to a filesystem root now matches nothing and says why, once per rule. - an approval is pinned to a source's commands, but callers hand runHooks the batch separately from the config it was read from. Check the two still agree instead of assuming: a batch that is not the source's own commands is not covered by an approval of them, and now falls through to a prompt showing the batch itself rather than the set it was mistaken for. - the config file's identity was read back out of the merged hooks, so a repo's .wt.toml overriding one event changed the "user config" hash and re-asked for the whole file in that repository. Pin it to what each source declared, which is what makes "approve your own hooks once" true rather than nearly true. wt trust --list now shows each [trust] rule next to what it resolves to, since a rule containing a variable does not read as what it covers.

configDir joined onto whatever XDG_CONFIG_HOME or os.UserHomeDir returned, without checking either was absolute. With HOME unset — routine in CI images and containers — os.UserHomeDir errors, the error was discarded, and the join produced the relative ".config/wt". wt runs from inside a working tree, so approvals were written to <repo>/.config/wt/trust.toml: a committable file. A repository could ship approvals for its own hooks, which is the one thing this gate exists to prevent. Reproduced against 191370f; the store landed in the working tree and showed up untracked, ready to commit. configDir now returns an absolute path or nothing. A relative XDG_CONFIG_HOME is ignored with a warning, as the XDG Base Directory spec requires and as wt init already did for fish. With no home to fall back to, callers get "" and both the config path and the trust store refuse rather than guess: nowhere to record an approval means nothing is approved. Also close a disclosure gap the same review found. --format json approved hook sets without ever naming the commands, and neither the untrust nor the trust --list payload carried the [trust] whitelist facts their text equivalents print. A script that cannot see what it agreed to, or that reads "removed" as "gated now" while a whitelist rule keeps the hooks running, is the same failure as clicking through a prompt unread. Refs #152

The Windows job caught this: filepath.IsAbs("/custom/config") is false there,
because a rooted path with no volume is resolved against the current drive. The
existing TestConfigDir hardcoded that path, so the new absolute-only rule
rejected it.
Keeping the strict test is the right call — a drive-relative path is not a
location wt can be sure of either — so the test now asks for a volume on Windows,
and the warning says "not an absolute path" rather than "relative", which is the
accurate description on both platforms.
Refs #152
TestApproveAllEscapeHatch declared post_create = ["true"] but ran a batch of ["touch <marker>"]. A batch that does not match its source now drops the trust and takes the mismatch path, so the test was passing through a route that has nothing to do with the escape hatch it names. Also correct two doc lines that said an unset HOME is what leaves wt with nowhere to record approvals. XDG_CONFIG_HOME and, on Windows, APPDATA are consulted first; it takes all three being unusable.

The earlier guard rejected only rules collapsing to a filesystem root, which is the loud case. The quiet one survives: an unset variable expands to nothing and the path closes over the gap, so "$SRC/repos" becomes "/repos" and "$SRC/Users" becomes "/Users" — an existing directory holding every repository on the machine, and a rule that looks perfectly ordinary in wt trust --list. Rules are now checked before expansion, and one referring to a variable with no value is ignored and reported. A variable set to the empty string counts as missing: it collapses the same way, and no rule means "the directory whose name is nothing". %VAR% is covered too, since expandHome honours it on Windows.

trust_whitelist_runs_repo_hooks_unasked embedded $TEST_DIR_NATIVE in a TOML basic string. On Windows that is a backslash path from cygpath -w, and TOML reads \U and \t in a basic string as escapes, so the config failed to parse, no rule was loaded and the hook never ran. It is the only scenario that puts TEST_DIR_NATIVE inside TOML rather than in an environment variable, which is why nothing else noticed. \047 in the printf format emits a single quote, making it a literal string, where backslashes have no special meaning.
A rule that names a variable can only be as good as the expansion, and a
failed expansion does not fail the rule — it shortens it. "$SRC/Users"
with SRC unset is "/Users", a directory that exists, holds every
repository on the machine, and reads as an ordinary rule afterwards.
Rejecting unset variables covered the obvious way in and none of the
others: "$" is not an escape (Go maps the name "$"), "${}" is malformed
and silently eaten, and %VAR% expands recursively on Windows, so a
variable naming another, unset one collapses on the second pass. Each
wants its own special case, and the next syntax would want another.
So: no expansion, apart from a leading "~". A rule covers exactly what
it says, which is checkable by reading it. A rule containing "$" or "%"
is ignored and reported rather than silently never matching.
[trust] is config-file only and unreleased, so there is no adversary
supplying rules and nothing to migrate.
'wt config init' still described the policy this branch replaced: that a repo's .wt.toml needs approving and "hooks from THIS file are yours, so they run as-is". They do not, and a user reading their own config file would conclude the gate was broken rather than that the comment was.

canonicalPath resolves symlinks, it does not make a path absolute, and nothing downstream does either — a rule is matched against a repository's absolute .git path. So prefix = ["repos/mine"] matched nothing while 'wt trust --list' showed it resolving fine, which is the worst of both: no effect, and no sign of it. Making it absolute instead would resolve against whatever directory wt was run from, so the same rule would cover a different tree each time. A rule names one directory; say it names nothing otherwise. Also reports the ~-with-no-home case, which was returning "" silently, and asserts per whitelist path that a rejected rule is reported — warnings are recorded once per rule, so the prefix check was standing in for the exact one. Reported by CodeRabbit.
[trust] and hooks_policy are honoured from the config file precisely because it is yours. WT_CONFIG=.wt.toml makes that untrue: set once, it names a different file in every repository you enter, and each of them is then read as both layers — so a clone can whitelist its own path via [trust] and run its hooks unasked. Reproduced end to end: post_create touched a marker with no prompt. Rejecting relative overrides would not fix it; an absolute WT_CONFIG pointing at a repo's .wt.toml does the same thing. So the test is file identity, not the path as written: os.SameFile, which also sees through symlinks and a case-insensitive filesystem. Refused with a warning rather than silently, because the same WT_CONFIG keeps working outside a repository and settings that vanish in some directories and not others are unexplainable. The file still applies as what it is: a repository's, gated by 'wt trust'.
An unrecognised version is only safe to read as "nothing approved" when it is older. A newer one means another wt wrote it, and reading it as empty is not read-only: the next 'wt trust' writes the store back in this version's format, deleting approvals the newer wt made. On a machine with both installed, each run would undo the other's. Fail instead, and leave the file where it is.
It skipped the approval check, which the docs described as bypassing every check above it — including hooks_policy. It does not: 'off' and WT_HOOKS_DISABLED are checked first and still run nothing, which is right. They say "no hooks", not "ask me about hooks".
Comparing against .wt.toml only closed the door with the sign on it. The lever is a relative WT_CONFIG — set once, it names a different file in every repository you enter — and the name is the repository's to choose: WT_CONFIG=wt-user.toml is as easy to commit. Reproduced: wt-user.toml carrying [trust] plus a .wt.toml carrying the hook ran it unprompted. So the test is where the file is, not what it is called. Lexical, on the path as written rather than resolved, because a config kept in a dotfiles repository and symlinked into ~/.config/wt is the ordinary setup and has to keep working while you are standing in that repository. The identity check stays for the case that reverses: a symlink from outside pointing back at a checked-in .wt.toml.
A directory name may end in a space on every filesystem wt runs on, so trimming one is not tidying — it substitutes a different, wider tree for the one the rule names. prefix = ["/srv/team "] became /srv/team, and every repository under /srv/team ran its hooks unasked, including the ones the rule was written to keep out. An entry that is only whitespace is still skipped: that is the blank line someone left in the list, and it names nothing either way. Everything else is now used exactly as written, which is what "literal paths" was already documented to mean.
Win32 strips trailing spaces from a path component, so C:\srv\team ' and C:\srv\team are one directory and no rule can name the former alone. The assertion that a trailing-space rule matches nothing therefore tested the platform, not wt, and failed on the Windows runner. Skip it there rather than assert the mirror image: wt still does no trimming of its own, and where the rule lands is the OS's naming rules doing what they do for case-insensitivity too. Comment and docs said "on every filesystem wt runs on", which was simply not true; they now say which.
"trust.toml can never land inside the repo being gated" was too strong. An absolute XDG_CONFIG_HOME is taken as given, so /srv/repo/.config puts the store in a working tree. The guarantee worth stating is the one that holds: the path never resolves against the directory wt was run from, so it cannot become a different, committable file in every repository you enter. An absolute setting names one directory everywhere, and no repository can arrive at it by being cloned — which makes it a choice about where your approvals live rather than a way in. Renamed the test that claimed otherwise.
approveHooks takes the batch separately from the source it was attributed to, and drops the trust when the two disagree. Nothing exercised that: every caller passes getHooks, so the guard exists for the caller that someday does not. Covers all three halves of it — the batch does not run, the prompt shows the batch rather than the declared set it would otherwise inherit, and nothing is recorded, so the answer cannot be reused next time.
A config path symlinked into the repository you are standing in is read, unless its target is that repository's own .wt.toml. Reviewed as an inconsistency, so state the line it is actually drawing. The .wt.toml case is about scope, not an attacker: that file already has a repository-side job, and reading it as your config too would give a repo-owned file the user-config scope, where one approval covers every repository and hooks_policy is honoured. Any other target is a file you pointed wt at yourself, and it is your config in every other repository already — so a commit that turns it hostile does not need wt to be standing anywhere in particular, and refusing it here would only take root and pattern with it and put the worktree somewhere else. Pinned with a test for the permissive half, so the boundary reads as a decision rather than an oversight.
The config file spells root with forward slashes — anything else is invalid TOML on Windows — and wt keeps a setting as written, so the assertion compared "C:/...\wts" against "C:\...\wts" and failed on the Windows runner. Clean both sides.
A config file lives at one path. A relative one names a different file in every directory wt runs in, chosen by whatever is checked out there — and the config file is the layer that is not gated, so a repository read as your config file can whitelist its own path via [trust] and run its own hooks unasked. Pointing out of the repository does not help: "../wt-user.toml" is outside the submodule you are standing in by every containment test, and inside the superproject that vendored it. Refuse before asking where the path leads.

Eight ways the gate could still be supplied rather than passed. The .git-component guard compared bytes. On a case-insensitive volume .GIT/hooks IS .git/hooks, and a pattern is free to spell it either way. The guard refuses, so it folds — foldPath drops Win32's trailing dots too. core.hooksPath is not the only setting naming a place git runs something from. init.templateDir is the widest of them: git copies that directory's hooks/ into every repository it creates afterwards, so filling it arms every future clone rather than one repository. GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR is the same thing from the environment, and core.fsmonitor is a program git runs on any command that reads the index. All three are the same shape as core.hooksPath — a path git consults and does not mind being absent. Not a claim to be exhaustive: chasing git's program-naming settings one key at a time has a floor, and the bounded fix is #154. git expands core.hooksPath = ~alice/armed/hooks through getpwnam. Reading that value as relative was declining to guard it. git resolves a relative XDG_CONFIG_HOME against the working directory just as it does GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL, and that one is quieter: wt ignores a non-absolute value for its own config dir while git honours it for git's. Same answer as before — no placement to refuse, so say it out loud. /proc/<pid>/cwd is /proc/self/cwd aimed at another process. The shell wt was launched from has its cwd inside the repository too, and nothing about "self" was what made the first spelling wrong. A path git prints was read with TrimSpace. On Unix a directory whose name ends in a space is a different directory, so a `pattern` ending in a literal space had its approval pinned to the scope of the space-less sibling — the one the user keeps their real work in. approvedHashesAt looked only beneath <destination>/.git, so it never saw an approval pinned to a working tree root, which is where one goes when git will not confirm the repository. A stale record sat unnoticed at a destination the origin URL chose.

Rounds 5–18 have each produced findings, so I am not calling this converged. But round 18's eight were all new instances of shapes already established — another spelling of a path, another git key, another fold — rather than new classes. That is what #154 bounds, and the docs now state the floor rather than implying the enumeration is complete. Round 19 is running and is asked to weigh class over instance. @coderabbitai review |

…olute filepath.IsAbs answers a question about spelling. /proc/self/cwd is spelled absolutely and means the working directory, so it passes that test and fails the one every caller was really asking. Round 17 refused it for the config file and left the same spelling standing everywhere else: XDG_CONFIG_HOME is where the trust store lives. A value of /proc/self/cwd/.config had wt read its record of what you have already approved out of whatever repository you were standing in — a repository committing .config/wt/trust.toml with its own scope and hash arrives pre-approved. Refusing the config file and not the directory beneath it closed the smaller half. GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL=/proc/self/cwd/.gitconfig is the repository's own file wearing an absolute spelling, so guarding it meant refusing to place a worktree on something the repository had already supplied. It now gets the answer a relative value gets: no placement to refuse, so say so. namesOneDirectory is that property under its own name, and the warning for a rejected config home now gives the true reason rather than calling an absolute path relative. Two more of their own: git turns include expansion off when a specific file is named, and --global names one. Without --includes only the top level was reported, so an [include] inside an included file named a path wt never heard about — armed, and invisible. Verified both ways. trust.toml and the directory holding it need not be in the same place. It is often a symlink out of a dotfiles repository, and guarding ~/.config/wt says nothing about where such a link points; a dangling one is a path a pattern can render onto, and what lands there IS the record of what you have approved.

Round 19 (codex). Four findings, all real, all fixed in [P1] "Absolute" was standing in for a property it does not have.
The fix is the property under its own name, [P2] [P2] The trust store file and the directory holding it need not be in the same place. All four verified by deletion. On the loop, again. Codex's own summary of round 19: "only new instances of established process-relative, symlink-alias, and indirect-config path classes — not a new bypass class." I agree, and rounds 18 and 19 together read as the enumeration tail rather than the discovery phase. What has changed in this PR since round 17 is not really the count of holes closed — it is that the code now states the property it is testing for ( Round 20 is running, and is asked to weigh new classes over new instances. If it comes back with instances only, I intend to merge and ship this as v0.4.0 — with the guard documented for what it is: a mitigation with a named boundary, not a proof. The bounded fix for the whole remaining class is #154. @coderabbitai review |

…reach Four from round 20; the fifth is filed as #155. Guarding $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git said nothing about where a symlink inside it points, and ~/.config/git/config is as often a link into a dotfiles repository as trust.toml is — the same finding as the trust store's, one file over, and fixed the same way. GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM redirects git's system configuration, and a value under the user's own home is as fillable as any other. /etc/gitconfig is root's and not placeable, but the settings the file carries are the same ones. Includes are now read from both scopes. "A relative value is somewhere inside a repository, and a worktree cannot be placed inside one" was not true: git resolves core.hooksPath against the top of the working tree, and ../shared-hooks leaves it from there. Resolved and guarded rather than dropped — the sibling it names is exactly the sort of path nothing has created yet. A submodule is its own repository, and the superproject holding it is not the user; it is more committed content, chosen by whoever chose the submodule. A WT_CONFIG reaching a file the superproject committed was the repo-config layer read as the user config file, which is the linked-worktree finding one level out — and such a file could whitelist the tree it sits in, with the submodule's verified scope beneath <super>/.git/modules then matching the rule.

A leading slash with no drive letter is not an absolute path on Windows, so /proc/self/cwd never reaches the process-relative test there and the ordinary "not absolute" warning is the correct one. The test asserted the other reason unconditionally and failed the Windows matrix leg for two commits. The ~user expansion is skipped there for the same kind of reason: git needs a passwd entry to expand that form and Windows has none, so neither git nor wt does it.

Close the documented bare-repository hook bypass.
llms.txt Line 88 and docs/configuration.md Lines 156-158 state that destination checks do not recognize bare repositories because their hooks live at <repo>/hooks. A repository-controlled pattern can target an empty bare-repository hooks directory. git worktree add can then materialize and execute a committed post-checkout hook outside runHooks and approveHooks. This violates Issue #152's fail-closed approval requirement.
Reject bare-repository hook directories before invoking Git, and add an end-to-end regression test. Verify the PR-head implementation first; if it already detects these directories, update both documents instead of retaining this limitation.

configDir() reaches for APPDATA before HOME on Windows, so a test that sets only HOME compared against the runner's real roaming directory. Set both, and compute the expected path per platform.
…errides configDir() tested XDG_CONFIG_HOME and APPDATA with namesOneDirectory and then accepted the HOME behind them on IsAbs alone. HOME=/proc/self/cwd is absolute and means the working directory, so the trust store — a separate file from the config file wt does refuse — came out of the repository, and a committed .config/wt/trust.toml carrying its own scope and hash arrived pre-approved. expandTilde gets the same test: a [trust] rule of "~/trees/*" under that home whitelists whatever is checked out there, and --config/WT_CONFIG name a file directly, so they survive a home the config directory would have refused. Found by review round 21.

…it printed Three from review round 21's CodeRabbit pass. A bare repository has no .git in its path, so the component test never saw one — and an empty hooks/ is the ordinary state of a server-side repository, which is the only thing 'git worktree add' requires. Verified by hand: it checks out there and leaves an executable hook behind. Every existing directory above the destination now goes to 'git rev-parse --resolve-git-dir'; a working tree does not answer, so ordinary destinations are unaffected. gitOutputPath stripped trailing carriage returns, but git prints one when the path has one — verified with 'git init' on a directory whose name ends in CR. That gave 'repo\r' the scope of its neighbour 'repo', so approving one approved the other. Only the newline is taken now; a CRLF platform would leave every path unmatched, which is the direction that refuses. And warnRelativeGitEnv called /proc/self/cwd/.gitconfig relative, which the user can see is wrong, which is a warning they learn to skip.

…f it git goes on reading $HOME/.gitconfig whatever wt decides, and under HOME=/proc/self/cwd that file is the repository's own — core.hooksPath included, which is a hook command under another name and runs on the next worktree add. There is no placement to refuse, so HOME gets what GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL and XDG_CONFIG_HOME get: skipped as a guard path, and said out loud. Named per platform, since os.UserHomeDir reads USERPROFILE on Windows. The message for having no config directory said 'no HOME set', which is false when HOME is set and unusable, and says nothing about git. Found by review round 23.
… warning said The message told the user a rule 'has to name one directory rather than a different one per working directory'. The check behind it asked whether the path was absolute, and /proc/self/cwd is — so a whitelist entry could cover whatever wt happened to be standing in. The comment was right and the code was checking something else. Also names the true reason, rather than calling an absolute path relative.
Rules are literal path prefixes matched on whole segments, so "~/trees/*" reads as a directory named * rather than as "anything under ~/trees".
How the review loop endedRounds 21–24, for the record. Round 21 found one live issue, and it was a good one: Round 23 found the last instance of the same class: refusing that home for wt's config directory closes only half of it, because git goes on reading A hand audit of every remaining CodeRabbit's pass over the same commits found three, all real:
Rounds 22 and 24 produced no verdict — both were killed mid-run by the review model provider's content filter, twice, on a defensive review of a hook-approval guard. That is an infrastructure outcome, not a clean bill of health, and I would rather say so than let two aborted runs read as two silent passes. So: the last round that finished said nothing new in kind, and everything it and CodeRabbit did find is fixed, each one verified by backing the fix out and watching a named test fail. Rounds 18 through 23 were instances of three classes, not new classes. That is the convergence I said I would merge on. What ships is a mitigation with named boundaries, not a proof. #154 (anchoring a repository-supplied absolute pattern inside the user's own tree — the bounded fix for the whole "enumerate one more config key" class) and #155 (an approval carries no repository-incarnation identifier) are open, documented in Merging and cutting v0.4.0. |

The problem
Hook approval was a denylist.
approveHooksgated hooks whose source was a repo's committed.wt.tomland returnedtruefor everything else:The justification was that everything else is "by construction something you wrote". That is a claim about a file on disk, and a file on disk is not self-evidently yours —
~/.config/wt/config.tomlis as writable as anything else in$HOME. Worse, it fails open: a hook arriving from any source we did not think to gate lands on the permissive side by default.The change
Invert it to an allowlist. Nothing runs until approved.
.wt.toml,user configfor the config file — so approving your own hooks once covers every repository, without pinning them to a checkout.patternor a[files]entry no longer costs a prompt, while editing a hook still does.[trust]escape hatch in the config file whitelists paths you own:~/src/minedoes not cover~/src/mine-from-the-internet.prompt-alloverrides both approvals and[trust].

Hooks in your own config file now need approving once, and pre-0.4 trust records pinned file bytes rather than commands. They are not translated — the store is version 2 and older records are dropped with a warning on stderr.
