Audit: FC&IS Core purity, Mutex hardening, render split - #3
Conversation
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.

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.

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.

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.

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/idvalues instead of reading the system clock / generating UUIDs internally. - Migrates
StateMachineExecutorlocking fromstd::sync::Mutextoparking_lot::Mutexand simplifies.lock()call sites accordingly. - Splits
plugins/gitstatus/render.rsintorender/helper modules (empty_messages,lines,modals,time_fmt) without intended logic changes.

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), andcargo 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()anduuid::Uuid::new_v4(), making them non-deterministic and untestable without mocking the system clock. Constructors (Session,Message,ToolUse,Intent,Worker) now takenow: DateTime<Utc>/id: Stringas parameters, and a new pure modulecore/logic/project.rsholds the project validation/lookup logic extracted out ofshell/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))StateMachineExecutormigrated fromstd::sync::Mutextoparking_lot::Mutex.parking_lotdoes not poison on panic, so.lock()returns a guard directly instead of aResult. 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 onis_poisoned()orPoisonError. Also tightened one cosmetic.unwrap()incore/logic/intent.rsto.unwrap_or_else(...).3. Render module split (
refactor(gitstatus))plugins/gitstatus/render.rswas a 2156-line monolith with ~30 private functions. Split into arender/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 buildersmodals.rs(150) - modal overlay +git_modal_area+ modal constantslines.rs(108) -build_section_header/build_file_line/build_commit_linetime_fmt.rs(38) -format_relative_time/relative_time_label/count_titlePure relocation, zero logic change. Moved functions widened to
pub(super); thesuper::state::GitModal::path was replaced with auseimport; 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
Stringclones (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, theSpan::styled(x.clone())sites are the candidates to target.Verification
