Why

This is a code-quality audit across three independent axes that all reinforce the project's Functional Core / Imperative Shell architecture. Each change follows the project's mandated Model -> Review -> Implement -> Verify workflow: no state machine or business behavior was left implicit, and every change is verified by the existing test suite (1329 lib tests, 0 failures), cargo clippy --all-targets -D warnings (clean), and cargo fmt (clean).

What changed

1. FC&IS Core purity (refactor(core))
The Core layer must be pure: no clock reads, no randomness, no I/O. Previously the constructors themselves called Utc::now() and uuid::Uuid::new_v4(), making them non-deterministic and untestable without mocking the system clock. Constructors (Session, Message, ToolUse, Intent, Worker) now take now: DateTime<Utc> / id: String as parameters, and a new pure module core/logic/project.rs holds the project validation/lookup logic extracted out of shell/usecases. Result: the Shell owns all side effects, the Core is deterministic, and tests are stable fixtures without time mocks. grep 'Utc::now|uuid::Uuid::new_v4' src/core/ now only matches #[cfg(test)] fixtures.

2. Mutex hardening (fix(shell))
StateMachineExecutor migrated from std::sync::Mutex to parking_lot::Mutex. parking_lot does not poison on panic, so .lock() returns a guard directly instead of a Result. This removes 11 .lock().unwrap() sites and the associated cascade-panic risk where a panicking thread could poison the shared state machine and bring down unrelated handlers. No code depended on is_poisoned() or PoisonError. Also tightened one cosmetic .unwrap() in core/logic/intent.rs to .unwrap_or_else(...).

3. Render module split (refactor(gitstatus))
plugins/gitstatus/render.rs was a 2156-line monolith with ~30 private functions. Split into a render/ directory of cohesive helper modules:

  • mod.rs (1698) - list/detail renderers (sidebar, diff, commits, branches, stashes)
  • empty_messages.rs (212) - the 10 empty-state message builders
  • modals.rs (150) - modal overlay + git_modal_area + modal constants
  • lines.rs (108) - build_section_header / build_file_line / build_commit_line
  • time_fmt.rs (38) - format_relative_time / relative_time_label / count_title

Pure relocation, zero logic change. Moved functions widened to pub(super); the super::state::GitModal:: path was replaced with a use import; test-only imports (FileChange, FileStatus, truncate_display) are localized to the test module.

Performance axis (deliberately not changed)

The performance axis was investigated and intentionally left untouched. A scan of the render paths found no collection clones in hot paths and only ~25 small String clones (subjects, hashes, paths) in event-driven handlers. The TUI redraws on events rather than at 60fps, so lifetime refactors (Cow<'a, str>) would be speculative work for an unmeasured gain - which the project's own rule rejects: if the behavior cannot be modeled, it is not ready to be implemented. If profiling later shows a bottleneck, the Span::styled(x.clone()) sites are the candidates to target.

Verification

  • cargo test --lib: 1329 passed, 0 failed
  • cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings: clean
  • cargo fmt: clean

Notes for reviewers

Each commit is independently reviewable and each compiles + tests green on its own, so they can be reviewed or cherry-picked separately if you prefer to land them one at a time.

The Core layer must be pure: no clock reads, no random generation, no I/O.
Previously the constructors themselves called Utc::now() and uuid::Uuid::new_v4(),
making them non-deterministic and untestable without mocking the system clock.

Model (target invariants):
- Core production code never reads the wall clock and never generates randomness.
- The Shell provides `now: DateTime<Utc>` and `id: String` as parameters.
- Constructors become deterministic: same inputs -> same outputs.
- Tests become stable fixtures without time mocks.

Implementation (phases 1-5):
- Phase 1: extract pure project validation/lookup from shell/usecases into
  the new core/logic/project.rs module (validate_project_path,
  find_existing_project, build_project_config, extract_project_name) with
  10 unit tests. shell/usecases/load_project now delegates to these pure
  functions and keeps only the I/O (config repo) and id generation.
- Phase 2-3: Session, Message, ToolUse constructors in core/models/conversation
  now take `now: DateTime<Utc>` (Session::new/touch, Message::user/assistant/
  system, ToolUse::new/complete/fail). All Utc::now() calls removed.
- Phase 4: Intent::new and Worker::new (core/models/intent) now take an `id`
  parameter; build_intent_from_spec takes `fallback_id: Option<String>`;
  generate_default_spec takes `id_suffix: &str`. Priority for intent id is
  frontmatter -> caller fallback -> MissingField error. All uuid::Uuid::new_v4()
  calls removed from the Core.
- Phase 5: updated all call sites (adapters, plugins, shell, tests). Shell
  sites now pass Utc::now()/uuid::Uuid::new_v4(); test sites use fixed ids
  and chrono::Utc::now() fixtures.

Verification:
- grep 'Utc::now|uuid::Uuid::new_v4' src/core/ -> only matches in #[cfg(test)]
  fixture code; production Core is side-effect free.
- cargo test: 1658 tests pass (1329 lib + 49 main + 22 integration + 247 doctests
  + others), 0 failures.
- cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings: clean.
- cargo fmt --check: clean.

…ing)

Replace std::sync::Mutex with parking_lot::Mutex for the state machine
executor. std::sync::Mutex poisons on panic, causing all 11 .lock().unwrap()
call sites to cascade-panic app-wide if any thread panicked while holding the
lock. parking_lot::Mutex does not poison and .lock() returns a guard directly,
eliminating the unwrap sites and the failure cascade.

parking_lot is already a project dependency (v0.12) and is already used in
state, conversations, and theme. No code depends on is_poisoned()/PoisonError
(grep confirmed: 0 occurrences).

Also: cosmetic cleanup of a provably-safe .unwrap() in core/logic/intent.rs
build_intent_from_spec title extraction (now unwrap_or_else).

Axe A (implementation quality) of the post-FC&IS audit. Verified:
cargo test (1658 tests, 0 failed), cargo clippy --all-targets -D warnings
(clean), cargo fmt (clean).

P1 Badge Generate a unique ID for every created intent

When users create two intents with different slugs, both generated specs contain id: intent-test-suffix. Because operations such as get_intent, remove_intent, and run_workers resolve entries by ID, acting on the second intent can operate on or delete the first one instead. Generate a fresh ID in this shell method and pass it into generate_default_spec.

P1 Badge Assign distinct fallback IDs when loading intent files

When two existing or manually authored spec files omit the optional frontmatter ID, both are loaded as test-fallback-id. The plugin retains both entries but all ID-based lookup, deletion, and worker execution becomes ambiguous and can target the wrong spec; create a unique or stable path-derived fallback in the shell instead of using a shared test value.

P1 Badge Generate unique worker IDs for each workflow

When workers are created for a second intent, these fixed IDs collide with the first workflow's workers. PluginState::add_worker stores workers in a HashMap keyed by ID, so the new investigator, implementer, and verifier overwrite the earlier entries; output receivers use the same keys as well, which can cross-wire status and output between workflows. Generate each worker ID in the shell before constructing it.

P2 Badge Keep filesystem validation in the imperative shell

Path::exists and Path::is_dir perform filesystem I/O, and the result can change for the same path as external state changes, so this new Core function is neither pure nor deterministic. Keep the metadata checks in AppUsecase::load_project and pass already-observed facts into Core validation if pure business validation is needed.

Pull request overview

This PR is a cross-cutting FC&IS audit that aims to (1) make Core constructors deterministic by injecting time/ids, (2) harden state-machine locking by switching to parking_lot::Mutex, and (3) split the gitstatus render module into smaller helper modules.

Changes:

  • Refactors Core constructors / builders to accept injected now / id values instead of reading the system clock / generating UUIDs internally.
  • Migrates StateMachineExecutor locking from std::sync::Mutex to parking_lot::Mutex and simplifies .lock() call sites accordingly.
  • Splits plugins/gitstatus/render.rs into render/ helper modules (empty_messages, lines, modals, time_fmt) without intended logic changes.
