Reviewed the current stack tip at 440d227. This is a static review; I have not run the stack's build/e2e suites.
The revised direction is aligned: commands now live under bootstrap dotfiles; non-file operation journals are removed while file preimages/progress/undo remain; adaptive per-file scheduling and doctor health are present.
The startup/deferred-capture retry finding is already covered by #12843 (comment) and #12843 (comment), so I am not opening another duplicate. Please include a regression with reconciliation disabled and a held operation lock, plus failure reporting for watch --once. Three additional issues are attached inline.
Remaining launch/stack alignment items (not requests to cram all later work into this watcher PR):
- I currently see foundation #12849, rollback #12835, services #12838, and this watcher PR. Sync/origin, shared publication, machine backups/encryption, and history-enabled local/remote onboarding still need their implementing PRs before the launch story is complete.
- Reuse landed #12830 for remote bootstrap GitHub access. History-enabled setup must use the single bare-store path; ordinary repositories keep existing onboarding semantics. The relay stays allowlisted, read-only, session-scoped, and is not background push authentication. The watcher must reference durable installed mise, never remote staging.
- The later product decision adds optional desktop notifications for NEW sync conflicts (off by default, deduplicated, no file contents, graceful failure). This supplements doctor/status; it supersedes the earlier blanket 'no notifications' scope. Current health support is capture/watcher health, not yet sync/conflict health.
- The configurable description hook/Claude example is still a later deliverable; verify its final setting and stdin contract before publishing.
- CLI alignment: preserving existing dotfiles diff and using dotfiles history diff for checkpoint comparisons is sensible. The blog currently says 'dotfiles paths exclude'; this PR implements 'dotfiles exclude'. Align the blog/docs with the implemented command rather than adding an alias just to match the draft.
- Golden-path OS walkthroughs and a real launch-build output transcript remain launch deliverables. Run the final examples end to end, including noisy files, restart, conflict holding, rollback propagation, and private remote onboarding.

[P2] Startup capture bypasses restored per-file throttling
Capture::new restores stretched intervals, but this startup attempt passes an empty held list and reads every autosaved file live. A continuously changing file with a long periodic interval is therefore checkpointed again on every service restart, even when its next save is not due. Restoring only the interval does not enforce the persisted schedule. Preserve enough pending/deadline/last-save state to distinguish overdue or settled content from still-throttled churn, and apply that at startup. Add a regression that checks actual checkpoint contents/counts across repeated restarts, rather than only asserting the interval survives. This is separate from the existing quiet-reset timestamp finding.
AI-assisted — Tool: Codex; model: unavailable; version: unavailable.

Fixed in 0965720: the persisted schedule carries each throttled path's last save and pending batch (saved_epoch_secs, pending_changes, pending_since_epoch_secs, last_change_epoch_secs), restore places them on the new run's clock, and the startup capture passes the held paths like any other capture; a file rewritten while the watcher was down (mtime after the last save) is noted as pending. Regression in test_dotfiles_watch_throttle: the watcher is restarted while the churn continues and the newest checkpoint's copy of the throttled file equals what was saved before the restart; the unit test a_restart_continues_the_schedule_where_it_stopped checks that the due time and the held state survive a restart and that an overdue save is due at once.

[P2] Persist dirty health independently of checkpoint creation
New events only call schedule.note here. Persisted health/noisy state is refreshed after captures or reconciliation, so after a successful capture writes pending_changes = 0, continued edits to a throttled file can remain reported as zero unsaved changes until the next reconcile (or hours with reconcile disabled). That undermines doctor/status as the visibility mechanism. Persist dirty-state transitions or a bounded health heartbeat independently of file capture, and distinguish an event count from confirmed content differences. Test a stretched file receiving another edit before its next save, with reconcile = 0, and assert status reports pending changes.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Fixed in 0965720: an event batch that touches a throttled path persists the schedule and health at once, so pending_changes (documented as changes seen since the last save, an event count) is current between saves. Covered in test_dotfiles_watch_throttle with reconciliation off: status reports pending changes while the churn goes on and again right after a restart.

[P2] Reload timing settings along with the watch plan
Intervals::from_settings is called only before entering the loop. This reload rebuilds State and anchors, but neither capture.schedule.limits nor the reconcile interval/deadline is refreshed. Editing history.watch.debounce, max_interval, or reconcile in the live global config therefore has no effect until the service restarts, despite configuration being reported as reloaded. Reconfigure/clamp the scheduler and reset the reconcile timer on accepted settings changes, or explicitly expose restart-required behavior. Test changing both the max interval and reconcile enablement while the watcher stays running.

Fixed in 0965720: a configuration reload re-reads history.watch.*, clamps every interval into the new limits (Schedule::set_limits), and re-arms the reconcile timer (including turning it on or off). Covered in test_dotfiles_watch_throttle: lowering max_interval in the running watcher's configuration clamps the throttled file's interval.

[P2] Watch derived symlink targets as well as declared entries
TrackedSet::walk discovers targets of symlinks inside tracked directories and adds them to the capture's derived entries, but those entries live in the walk's cloned set. build_plan uses the original tracked.entries, and relevant also filters through that original set. Thus a symlink inside a tracked directory pointing to another file under HOME outside tracked roots gets its target captured initially, but editing that target does not trigger autosave. It waits for reconciliation, or is missed indefinitely with reconcile=0. Include derived targets in both watcher anchors and event eligibility, and refresh them when links change. Test a nested symlink to a target outside all declared roots with reconciliation disabled.

Add `mise history watch`: filesystem watches for every autosaved tracked entry, a batcher that saves a changed file once it has been quiet (a file that keeps changing never delays the others, and is saved after the maximum interval regardless), reconciliation of the whole set at startup, periodically, on configuration changes, and at shutdown, and `--once` for timers. Captures defer to a running history operation, back off on failure without dropping changes, and one watcher runs per store. Constantly changing paths are reported with the exclusion to write and listed by `mise history paths --noisy`; `paths exclude` and `include` edit `[history] exclude`. `mise history status` now reports the watcher as running, declared but not running, or not declared, with the next command for each. The `history-watch` built-in user service runs the watcher. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Each tracked file is scheduled on its own: an ordinary edit is saved after the base quiet period, while a file that never settles has its own interval doubled on every churn save, up to `history.watch.max_interval` (24h). A throttled file is still saved periodically, captured promptly once it settles, reset after sustained quiet, and never delays another file. The schedule is persisted so a service restart does not reset it, and captures another path triggers carry a held file's last saved version so whole-set reconciliation cannot defeat the throttling. Nothing is excluded or switched to manual saving automatically. The watcher persists its health; `mise doctor` reports a declared but not running watcher, capture failures, an unusable store, and heavily throttled files without starting anything, and `mise bootstrap dotfiles status` and `paths --noisy` show the detail.

… retries deferred captures - the persisted schedule carries each throttled file's last save and pending batch; a restart restores them on its own clock, holds a throttled file at its saved version during the startup capture, and treats a file rewritten while the service was down as pending - a deferred or failed capture arms its own retry timer, independent of the per-file schedule; the shutdown capture ignores the backoff and waits for a running operation; `watch --once` exits 1 when nothing was saved - timing settings are re-read on a configuration reload and clamp the schedule; derived symlink targets are watched and refreshed when links change; a tracked path appearing replans at once - a throttled file's unsaved changes are persisted as they happen - held paths are files matched exactly (never a whole directory), carry their previous version, absence, and mode, and nothing is held without a previous checkpoint; a throttled path past its reset period is forgotten rather than reported - the stale mr-boxington lock entry is gone and the docs are re-rendered Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Exclude leaves noisy files held
High Severity
After a path is excluded or untracked, it can remain pending in the schedule. The next captures still pass it to held, so hold_paths writes the last saved version back into the snapshot instead of dropping it. exclude is the documented fix for constantly rewritten files, and those files are the ones still held, so the exclusion checkpoint does not remove them and later saves keep carrying them until they become due.

Confirmed in 35dfce9: config reload rebuilds the tracked set, but the held list is still taken from the pre-existing schedule with only the config-directory filter. hold_paths then overlays those paths from the previous snapshot without rechecking current eligibility. Please remove ineligible scheduled paths before constructing any held list, covering exclusion, untracking, and changes to autosave policy. Regression: stretch a file's interval, exclude it while pending, and assert the configuration-change checkpoint immediately drops it and later captures do not resurrect it.

Stacked on #12838 (
bootstrap/7-user-services). Adds the history watcher:mise bootstrap dotfiles watchand thehistory-watchbuilt-in user service, so edits to tracked files are saved automatically, with per-file adaptive scheduling for noisy files and health thatmise doctoranddotfiles statusread.What this adds
mise bootstrap dotfiles watch [--once] [--json](src/system/history/watch/): installs filesystem watches for every autosaved tracked entry (a directory recursively, a file through its parent, a path that does not exist yet through its nearest existing ancestor; manual-save entries are never watched) and saves checkpoints through the sameattemptentry point asmise bootstrap dotfiles save.schedule.rs, pure and clock-injected, every threshold a named constant): each path is scheduled on its own. An ordinary edit is saved once the file has been quiet forhistory.watch.debounce(2s). A save that follows the previous one without the file ever settling (a change within the settle time of the last save, at least two changes since) doubles that file's own interval, up tohistory.watch.max_interval(24h, a maximum periodic interval, not 24h of silence): the file is still saved at that interval while it keeps changing, its final state is captured promptly once it settles (settle time = interval/8, between the base and 5 minutes), and four quiet intervals (at least 5 minutes) reset it. A busy file never delays another; explicit saves, protective captures, and the shutdown capture always read every file live. Nothing is ever excluded or switched to manual saving automatically.

Medium Risk
New background capture path touches checkpoint composition, file locking, and filesystem watches; failures are retried and deferred rather than silent, but bugs could miss or duplicate saves.
Overview
Adds automatic dotfiles history capture via
mise bootstrap dotfiles watch(foreground,--once,--json) and thehistory-watchbootstrap user service. The watcher usesnotifyto watch autosaved tracked paths, debounces per file, reconciles on a timer and on config changes, defers when another history operation holds the lock, and enforces one watcher per store.Adaptive scheduling stretches save intervals for constantly changing files (without auto-excluding them); other captures can hold throttled paths at their last checkpoint version so reconciliation does not flush live churn. Schedule and health persist under the history store (
watch-schedule.json,health.json,noisy.json).New CLI:
exclude/includefor[history] exclude,paths --noisy, and settingshistory.watch.debounce,max_interval,reconcile.mise doctoranddotfiles statussurface watcher state, failures, and throttled paths from persisted health.CI adds macOS e2e for watch/throttle; Windows gets a Pester test for
