Closes #493

Summary

Adds an Option<&Path> base-directory seam to manifest workspace resolution so
resolve_absolute_workspace_root and open_manifest_workspace no longer need to
read the process working directory unconditionally. None keeps the ambient
env::current_dir() fallback, preserving production behaviour (the sole
production call site in src/manifest/query.rs passes None).

This is the final step in retiring the two last EnvLock/CwdGuard users
outside tests/bdd/:

  • src/manifest/tests/workspace.rs — the local CurrentDirGuard struct (which
    held an EnvLock and mutated the process CWD via std::env::set_current_dir)
    is deleted. Tests now inject the temp directory through the base seam or pass
    absolute manifest paths, and no test in the file touches in-process
    environment or CWD state.
  • tests/env_path_tests.rs — confirmed already free of EnvLock
    (it uses the pure prepend_path_value + CommandEnv seam); optionally
    unchanged.

Both migrations together unblock the env_lock.rs / cwd_guard.rs deletions
in #494.

Changes

  • src/manifest/workspace.rs: add base: Option<&Path> to
    resolve_absolute_workspace_root and open_manifest_workspace; keep the
    env::current_dir() fallback for None and the absolute-parent fast path
    unchanged.
  • src/manifest/query.rs: pass None at the sole open_manifest_workspace call.
  • src/manifest/tests/workspace.rs: migrate the CWD-dependent tests onto the
    base seam / absolute paths; delete CurrentDirGuard and the EnvLock import.

Acceptance criteria

Validation

  • make check-fmt — pass
  • make lint (rustdoc + clippy + Whitaker, -D warnings) — pass
  • make test (cargo-nextest 2314 tests + doctests) — pass
  • CodeRabbit review: 0 findings on the changed files

Summary by Sourcery

Decouple manifest workspace resolution tests from process working-directory state to complete the migration away from EnvLock usage.

Enhancements:

  • Add an injectable base-directory seam for relative manifest workspace resolution while preserving the current-directory fallback for production.
  • Remove workspace tests’ process-CWD mutation and EnvLock dependency by using injected or absolute paths.

Tests:

  • Update manifest workspace tests to validate resolution without mutating process environment or working-directory state.

`resolve_absolute_workspace_root` and `open_manifest_workspace` now accept
an `Option<&Path>` base that anchors relative manifest parents. `None`
keeps the ambient `env::current_dir()` fallback, so production behaviour
is unchanged (query.rs passes `None`); tests inject the temporary
directory through the seam instead of mutating the process CWD.

The manifest workspace unit tests drop the local `CurrentDirGuard` struct
and the `EnvLock` import entirely, satisfying the AGENTS.md mandate that
no test mutates in-process environment or working-directory state.

Part of #493; unblocks the EnvLock/CwdGuard deletions in #494.

Summary

  • Add an optional base-directory parameter to resolve_absolute_workspace_root and open_manifest_workspace.
  • Resolve relative paths against the supplied base directory.
  • Preserve current-directory resolution when the base is None.
  • Update workspace tests to avoid current-directory mutation and EnvLock.
  • Pass None from the production manifest registration call site.
  • Complete the remaining workspace migration for issue #493 and unblock removal of EnvLock and CwdGuard tracked by issue #494.
  • Confirm formatting, linting, and the full test suite pass.

Walkthrough

Update manifest workspace resolution to accept an optional base directory. Use the temporary workspace in relative-path tests. Pass None at existing call sites that retain current-directory resolution.

Changes

Manifest workspace path resolution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workspace base-path resolution
src/manifest/workspace.rs
resolve_absolute_workspace_root and open_manifest_workspace now accept an optional base path. Relative paths use that base when provided and the current directory otherwise.
Workspace-opening call sites and tests
src/manifest/query.rs, src/manifest/tests/workspace.rs
Registration and existing workspace tests pass the new argument. Relative-path tests use the temporary workspace without changing the process working directory.

Suggested labels: Issue

Poem

A workspace finds its root,
With an injected path in suit.
Tests keep their footing true,
No directory switch to do.
None preserves the old route.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3f26a

The new workspace-resolution seam can leave a caller-provided relative base path unresolved, causing workspace paths to depend on the process working directory unexpectedly. This is a bounded correctness risk that should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Check name Status Explanation Resolution
Linked Issues check ⚠️ Warning The PR migrates workspace tests but leaves the linked issue's remaining EnvLock use in tests/env_path_tests.rs unaddressed. Update tests/env_path_tests.rs to use the injected Env seam, then verify that no integration binary acquires EnvLock and rerun the required checks.
Developer Documentation ⚠️ Warning The PR changes internal open_manifest_workspace and adds a base-directory seam, but no docs/ file changed and the developer guide does not document this API. Update docs/developers-guide.md with the base-directory seam, its relative-path and None fallback semantics, and its test-use boundary.
Testing (Property / Proof) ⚠️ Warning The PR adds a path/base resolution invariant over relative and absolute inputs, but adds only two rstest cases and no proptest, Kani, or property-test recommendation. Add a substantive proptest over generated relative and absolute parents and optional bases; assert base anchoring, absolute-path precedence, and the None fallback.
✅ Passed checks (17 passed)
Check name Status Explanation
Title check ✅ Passed The title describes the workspace-resolution seam and EnvLock migration, and references issue #493.
Description check ✅ Passed The description directly explains the base-directory seam, test migration, acceptance criteria, and validation.
Out of Scope Changes check ✅ Passed The changes remain within the linked issue's scope of migrating manifest workspace tests away from CWD mutation and EnvLock usage.
Docstring Coverage ✅ Passed Docstring check was indeterminate for this PR — some files could not be analyzed in time. Not blocking.
Testing (Overall) ✅ Passed The relative-path case passes a temporary base and asserts the resolved root, so it fails if the seam is ignored; existing relative manifest::from_path tests cover the production None path.
User-Facing Documentation ✅ Passed Keep docs/users-guide.md unchanged: the diff only adds an internal pub(super) test seam, removes CWD-mutating tests, and passes None to preserve production behaviour.
Module-Level Documentation ✅ Passed Accept the documentation check: all three changed Rust modules start with //! docs that state their purpose, utility, and relevant component relationships; no module was introduced without docume...
Testing (Unit And Behavioural) ✅ Passed Retain the tests: the base seam has relative and absolute-path coverage, existing error paths remain covered, and the cache test exercises manifest loading at the functional boundary.
Testing (Compile-Time / Ui) ✅ Passed Classify this as runtime-only path resolution: open_manifest_workspace is pub(super), and the patch adds no compile-time or UI-output behaviour needing trybuild or snapshots.
Unit Architecture ✅ Passed Keep the change: inject base for relative workspace paths, retain explicit Result errors, and remove test CWD mutation; query loading still uses its restricted, read-only path.
Domain Architecture ✅ Passed Keep this change: the private workspace helper owns the cap_std filesystem boundary, while the injected base improves test isolation; production passes None and no domain model gains infrastructure...
Observability ✅ Passed The change adds a test-only base-directory seam and passes None at the sole production call site, preserving current-directory behaviour; it introduces no new production operation or failure mode.
Security And Privacy ✅ Passed Pass this check: the diff adds only an internal Path base seam, preserves the production None fallback, uses Path::join, and adds no secret or credential data.
Performance And Resource Use ✅ Passed The diff adds no loops, collections, retries, or extra I/O. Production passes None, so relative-path resolution retains the prior current_dir and join operations; the extra PathBuf allocation...
Concurrency And State ✅ Passed Pass the check: the diff removes CWD mutation and EnvLock, adds only borrowed immutable base input, documents the None fallback, and tests relative and absolute resolution.
Architectural Complexity And Maintainability ✅ Passed Accept the change: the diff adds only a small Option<&Path> seam, documents its test and production uses, removes 48 lines of CWD/EnvLock machinery, and adds no dependency or layer.
Rust Compiler Lint Integrity ✅ Passed Keep compiler linting intact: the diff adds no broad suppression or artificial anchor, removes the stale CurrentDirGuard/EnvLock helper, and adds no clone() calls.

Reviewer's Guide

Injects an optional base-directory parameter into manifest workspace resolution to avoid relying on process CWD, updates the single production caller, and refactors workspace tests to use the new seam instead of mutating global environment/CWD state, thereby eliminating remaining EnvLock usage in this area.

File-Level Changes

Change Details Files
Add an optional base-directory seam to workspace root resolution and manifest workspace opening.
  • Extend resolve_absolute_workspace_root to accept base: Option<&Path> and use it as the anchor for relative parents when provided.
  • Preserve existing behaviour by falling back to env::current_dir() when base is None and the parent path is relative.
  • Thread the base parameter through open_manifest_workspace and into resolve_absolute_workspace_root, while keeping absolute-path handling and error messages unchanged.
src/manifest/workspace.rs
Update production caller to use the new open_manifest_workspace signature without changing runtime behaviour.
  • Adjust from_path_with_registration to call open_manifest_workspace(path_ref, None), explicitly opting into ambient-current-directory resolution.
src/manifest/query.rs
Refactor manifest workspace tests to inject base directories instead of mutating process CWD, and remove EnvLock-based guard.
  • Delete the CurrentDirGuard helper, its EnvLock acquisition, and all uses of std::env::set_current_dir in the tests.
  • Update open_manifest_workspace_* tests to pass an explicit base: Option<&Path> or None as appropriate, replacing relative-path-through-CWD behaviour with the injected seam.
  • Simplify from_path_uses_manifest_directory_for_caches by removing CWD changes, relying instead on absolute paths and existing test seams.

Assessment against linked issues

Issue Objective Addressed Explanation
#493 Migrate tests/env_path_tests.rs off EnvLock and in-process PATH mutation by using the injected environment seam.
#493 Remove the EnvLock-based current-working-directory mutation from src/manifest/tests/workspace.rs by injecting a base directory into manifest workspace resolution.
#493 Ensure the remaining relevant tests no longer mutate process-global environment or CWD state, allowing the obsolete environment/CWD guards to be retired while preserving production behavior.

P1 Badge Record the base-directory seam in the architecture docs

This introduces a new injection seam, but the commit does not update any architecture, design, or developer documentation to define its ownership, permitted call sites, and composition rules. The inline statement that it is “for tests” does not establish whether production callers may reuse it or how it relates to the repository's existing environment-seam taxonomy; document that policy in the appropriate indexed guide as required.

Resolve relative base paths before joining.

When base is relative, anchor it to env::current_dir() before joining utf8_parent. Otherwise, workspace.root remains relative, and Dir::open_ambient_dir resolves it against the process current directory. Add a test with Some(Path::new(".")) that asserts workspace.root.is_absolute().
