Adopt Skylos dead-code detection - #244
Open
leynos wants to merge 6 commits into
Open
Conversation
Run a pinned, production-only Skylos scan in the blocking lint gate and continuous integration. Document precise, reasoned exceptions for verified protocol-dispatch false positives, and remove code Skylos confirmed is dead. Keep Markdown validation scoped to tracked documentation rather than generated uv tool caches introduced by the separately provisioned scanner.

Reviewer's GuideIntroduces Skylos as a pinned, blocking dead-code detection step in the Python lint pipeline, removes code that Skylos identified as unused, tightens configuration and docs around lint policy, and adds tests to lock in the Skylos contract and Makefile wiring while keeping Markdown/typo tooling deterministic.

After removing the id field, both public examples in topologically_sorted_crates() and crates_by_name still construct WorkspaceCrate(id="a 0.1.0", ...). Anyone executing or copying either example now receives a TypeError for the unexpected keyword, so update both examples alongside the model change.

In @.gitignore:
- Line 189: Replace the blanket .skylos/ ignore rule with entries for only the
generated directories .skylos/cache/, .skylos/runs/, and .skylos/contribution/,
leaving .skylos/ai-contract.yml and .skylos/rules/local.yml trackable.
In `@docs/developers-guide.md`:
- Around line 49-59: Update the lint-tier description in the documentation so
Pylint is consistently identified as the third tier and the subsequent
rule-family checks remain the final tier, preserving Skylos as the blocking
dead-code scan after the four tiers.
- Around line 91-95: Synchronize the developer guide’s documented lint
prerequisites with the Makefile by ensuring ruff is listed as a direct
prerequisite of lint only if the Makefile executes it as one; otherwise remove
ruff from the guide. Keep the documented and executed prerequisite contracts
identical.
In `@Makefile`:
- Around line 28-31: Update the Skylos execution setup around SKYLOS_VERSION and
SKYLOS to use a committed lockfile or fully hash-pinned environment covering
Skylos and all transitive dependencies, while preserving the existing
pyproject.toml configuration and production-target behavior.
- Around line 98-103: Validate SKYLOS_NAME in the skylos-allow target before
invoking $(SKYLOS) whitelist, rejecting glob-pattern characters so named
exceptions cannot use wildcard matching. Preserve valid literal names and the
existing required-name and reason checks.
In `@pyproject.toml`:
- Around line 460-466: Update the Skylos dead-code entrypoints configuration to
retain only lading.commands.lockfile.validate_lockfile_freshness and remove the
private helper lading.commands.lockfile._is_lockfile_stale_detail from the
function entrypoint list.
In `@tests/workflow_contracts/test_skylos_lint_contract.py`:
- Line 1: Expand the module docstring in the contract test module to describe
its purpose, including validation of the Skylos settings in pyproject.toml and
the production-only make lint command, and document the pytest invocation for
running this suite.
- Around line 35-43: Update the entrypoints assertion to validate every member
of each entrypoint["full_name"] list as a non-empty string, while preserving the
existing type, non-empty list, and reason checks.

Lock Skylos and its transitive dependencies in the development environment. Preserve only its generated data, require literal whitelist names, and extend regression coverage for the locked production scan and configuration shape. Correct contributor guidance and workspace examples while retaining the live private lockfile classifier as a precisely reasoned Skylos entry point.

Describe the implemented Skylos command.
Replace uv tool run at Line 30 with the locked uv run --locked project
command. make lint does not create an isolated tool environment. It runs the
Skylos version resolved in uv.lock.

Restrict Markdown linting to tracked files.
Replace the whole-tree find scan at Line 108 with a tracked-file list from
Git. An untracked Markdown file outside the excluded directories can currently
fail make markdownlint, which breaks the stated tracked-documentation scope.

Summary
This branch makes Skylos a blocking dead-code detector in local linting and
Continuous Integration (CI). It scans production
ladingmodules in strictmode, excludes tests, removes verified dead code, and records only verified
runtime-boundary false positives as typed entry points.
The follow-up hardens that gate around Skylos's own runtime Abstract Syntax
Tree (AST): the command-only CLI is pinned to Python 3.14, scan options remain
separate, and named exceptions use a serialised
SYMBOL/REASONwhitelistboundary. It also pins the reviewed whitelist and typed-entry-point name sets
in executable contracts, so adding an exception needs a deliberate test update.
The branch installs the pinned Makeutil parser in every full-suite CI job and
documents the four-tier lint architecture.
