fix(mcp): let vf_create_project refuse exactly what veryfront init refuses by kojiwakayama · Pull Request #4011 · veryfront/veryfront-code

kojiwakayama · 2026-08-23T04:26:04Z

Summary

Follow-up to #4002 / #4010 (stacked on #4010, base fix/dx-usage-errors).

vf_create_project still carried its own pre-check, Directory already exists: <path>, so the MCP tool refused an empty directory or a .git-only clone that veryfront init now accepts, and reported a real conflict without naming the file. The pre-check is removed; createProject is the single authority for both surfaces, and its refusal (Directory "x" already contains README.md. Use --force to overwrite.) reaches the caller through the tool's existing Failed to create project: ... envelope. No new rule, no new message: one fewer copy of an old one.

Handing the target decision to createProject exposed a gap in it, raised on review and fixed here. findUnwritablePaths walks only the paths beneath the project directory and never looked at the project directory itself, so a symlink at the project root passed every check and the scaffold wrote its files, its .gitignore and its installed dependencies into the link target, which can sit outside the requested parent entirely. Both surfaces reported success. createProject now lstats the derived project directory and refuses a symlink before anything is written. Only the derived path is checked, parentDir joined with the name, because a parent directory the caller passed in is their own choice. Fixing it there closes the same hole for veryfront init, not just the MCP tool.

$ veryfront init linked          (linked -> a directory elsewhere)
✗ [already-exists] Target already exists
  Detail: Directory "linked" is a link the scaffold cannot write through. Move it aside or use a different name.
  exit 1

Test plan

RED at the merge base: all four tests fail there (the tool's own pre-check fired first for the two conflict cases; the two symlink cases scaffolded into the link target)
Mutation: neutering the new root guard turns both symlink tests red; restoring the removed directoryExists pre-check turns three vf_create_project tests red
GREEN: cli/mcp/tools/, cli/shared/, cli/commands/init/ (80 files, 853 steps)
Gates after the last edit: deno task typecheck 0, deno task lint:ci 0, deno fmt --check 0

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Improved project creation safety when target directories, symlinks, .gitignore files, or package-manager metadata already exist.
- Added conflict detection for npm shrinkwrap files, hidden lockfiles, and existing node_modules.
- Prevented partial scaffolding, accidental overwrites, and dependency installation when conflicts are detected.
- Empty existing directories can now be used safely for project creation.
Documentation
- Updated scaffold API reference information, including template aliases and source links.

…fuses The tool kept its own pre-check, "Directory already exists: <path>", so an empty directory or a fresh clone holding only .git was refused here while `veryfront init` (since the current-directory and empty-directory fixes) scaffolds into both, and a real conflict was reported without naming the file. The pre-check is gone: `createProject` is the single authority, and its refusal - `Directory "x" already contains README.md. Use --force to overwrite.` - reaches the caller through the existing failure envelope. Tests: a directory holding a scaffold file is refused with the file named and left intact; an existing empty directory scaffolds.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Project creation now delegates target checks to shared scaffolding logic. The shared logic detects symlinks, protected .gitignore paths, package-manager lockfiles, and unsafe directories before writing files.

Changes

Project creation safety

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Creation delegation and MCP coverage `cli/mcp/tools/catalog-tools.ts`, `cli/mcp/tools/catalog-tools.test.ts`	`vfCreateProject` delegates target validation to `createSharedProject`. Tests cover empty and non-empty directories, symlinks, and preservation of existing content.
Atomic `.gitignore` protection `cli/shared/project-creation.ts`, `cli/shared/project-creation.test.ts`	Shared creation atomically replaces regular `.gitignore` files, rejects unsafe entries, detects symlinked roots, and prevents partial scaffolding.
Installer conflict protection and API links `cli/shared/project-creation.ts`, `cli/shared/project-creation.test.ts`, `docs/api-reference/veryfront/scaffold.md`	Shared creation checks lockfiles and `node_modules` before dependency installation. Tests verify existing content remains unchanged. Scaffold API links point to current source locations.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 38cb4

Project creation now centralizes conflict handling and rejects many symlinked targets, but the current head can still write generated files through a symlinked root when no project name is supplied, potentially modifying files outside the requested location. An untyped filesystem error and incorrect API-reference links also remain, so merge should wait for these issues to be addressed.

…h it Dropping the `vf_create_project` pre-check handed the target decision to `createProject`, which never looked at the project root itself: `findUnwritablePaths` walks only the paths beneath it. A symlink at the root therefore passed, and the scaffold wrote its files, its `.gitignore` and its installed dependencies into the link target, which can sit outside the requested parent entirely. The tool reported success. The scaffold picks that path itself by joining the name onto the parent, so a link there sends every write somewhere the caller never named. `createProject` now refuses it, for the same reason a link at any other scaffold path is already refused. A parent directory the caller passed in is their own choice, so only the derived path is checked. Fixing it in `createProject` closes the same hole for `veryfront init`, not just the MCP tool.

The project creation preflight already rejects symlinks on paths the scaffold writes outright. The generated .gitignore is merged instead of treated as a normal overwrite conflict, but the merge still writes to that path and would follow a symlink outside the project. This keeps regular .gitignore merge behavior while adding it to the write-through protection list, with shared and MCP regression coverage for the outside-target case.

The project creation preflight now treats installer-generated lockfiles as possible writes when dependency installation is enabled, so fail-policy reuse rejects a user-owned package-lock before npm can replace it. The same protected-leaf check rejects a directory at merge-only leaves such as .gitignore before scaffold files are written, preventing partial project creation.

The reuse preflight now covers npm's hidden lockfile and rejects non-file protected merge leaves before scaffold writes begin. The generated scaffold docs were refreshed so source anchors point at the current declarations. Constraint: Preserve regular .gitignore merge behavior and ordinary lockfile fail-policy semantics. Rejected: Reject any existing node_modules directory | too broad because only npm's hidden lockfile is a deterministic installer write target here. Confidence: high Scope-risk: narrow Reversibility: clean Directive: Keep merge-only leaves in protectedLeafPaths out of normal overwrite conflict detection, but preflight every non-regular leaf before writeGitignore runs.

npm treats npm-shrinkwrap.json as an installation-owned lockfile and can update it during install. Reused project directories now preflight that path with the rest of the installer write set so conflictPolicy fail refuses it before scaffold writes or dependency installation. Constraint: Keep dependency installation enabled for safe reused directories. Rejected: Disable npm install whenever a reused directory exists | too broad; only deterministic installer-owned write targets need preflight protection.

npm install can prune existing node_modules content before returning success. Reused project directories now treat node_modules as an npm installer conflict when dependency installation is enabled, so conflictPolicy fail refuses the directory before scaffold writes or install side effects. Constraint: Preserve safe reused-directory scaffolding when dependency installation has no existing npm-owned tree to mutate. Rejected: Treat node_modules as a protected write-through leaf | conflict detection gives the user-facing fail-policy error while existing symlink protection still comes from node_modules/.package-lock.json path traversal.

Please review exact head 28734456e92ca900cfb95c99af19d02ec9f744b3. This head keeps the shared scaffold conflict handling unchanged and addresses the final Standards findings by restoring import ordering and attaching the unwritable-path JSDoc to the function it documents. Independent Standards and Spec reviews both report zero findings; focused tests, lint, typecheck, formatting, docs checks, and git diff --check pass; all 9 review threads are resolved.

Existing .gitignore files are merge-only, but direct writes can mutate hard-linked files and late write failures can leave a partial scaffold. The merge now writes a same-directory temporary file, renames it over .gitignore, and happens before the rest of the scaffold output. Constraint: Preserve regular .gitignore merge semantics while preventing writes through shared inodes or late permission failures. Rejected: Keep direct writeTextFile with more preflight checks | hard links are easier and safer to handle by replacing the path instead of mutating the inode. Confidence: high Scope-risk: narrow Reversibility: clean Directive: Keep .gitignore as a merge-only path; do not re-add it to overwrite conflict detection without preserving existing ignore entries.

Please review exact head 234639487648332b9358dba5dd6830476fbbbe3c. It addresses the two latest P2 findings by replacing merged .gitignore content through a same-directory temporary file and rename before any other scaffold writes, protecting hard-linked and unreplacable targets while preserving regular merge semantics. Direct/MCP focused tests, lint, typecheck, formatting, docs checks, and git diff --check pass; all 11 review threads are resolved.

Existing .gitignore content is merge input. Treating every read failure as absence could replace unreadable user content and then continue scaffolding. The merge now treats only missing .gitignore as absent; any other read failure happens before scaffold writes. Constraint: Preserve absent .gitignore behavior and atomic replacement semantics.

rename capability check to throw a registered VeryfrontError via
createConfigError or the established equivalent, replacing the native Error
while preserving the existing unsupported atomic .gitignore replacement message.

- Line 664: Update the project-root symlink check in the project creation flow
to run for every projectDir, including when projectName is undefined, while
preserving the existing rejection behavior. Add coverage for an undefined name
with conflictPolicy set to overwrite to verify symlinked roots are rejected.

Bun installs dependencies into node_modules like npm-family package managers. Reused project targets must therefore reject an existing node_modules tree before installation can prune or replace user-owned files. The unsupported atomic-gitignore capability branch now also uses the file-local config error helper so the error stays on the registered VeryfrontError path. Constraint: Keep MCP create-project behavior unchanged; it currently exposes no runtime input and always calls shared creation with runtime node. Rejected: Add a Bun runtime option to vf_create_project | broadens the MCP tool contract beyond this conflict-safety fix. Confidence: high Scope-risk: narrow Reversibility: clean Directive: Keep installer conflict paths aligned with NPM_FAMILY_CLIENTS when a package manager writes node_modules.

@codex review

Please review exact head b09329a942c3dc502194278078e2d58b795e78a81. It resolves the current Bun node_modules installer-conflict gap by using NPM_FAMILY_CLIENTS, keeps MCP runtime behavior unchanged, and switches the unsupported atomic .gitignore replacement branch to the existing typed config error helper. Focused shared/MCP tests, fmt, lint, typecheck, docs check, and git diff --check pass; all review threads are resolved.

@codex review

Exact head correction: please review b09329a947e9550b0d8181dfcf65c3beb0a84902. It protects existing node_modules for Bun/npm-family installs, keeps the MCP contract unchanged, and uses the existing typed config error for unsupported atomic .gitignore replacement. Focused shared/MCP tests, fmt, lint, typecheck, docs check, and git diff --check pass; all 13 review threads are resolved.
