Add GitPlumbing, a runner for git plumbing against a repository mise owns that ignores the user's system and global gitconfig, pins a committer identity, and sets GIT_INDEX_FILE after sanitize_git_command strips it; plumbing_binary(), which on macOS refuses the /usr/bin/git shim until the Command Line Tools are installed; and root_of() for the nearest checkout root of a path.

Every mutating bootstrap command records a generation: what ran, a snapshot of the global config directory and dotfiles.root taken before and after the run in a mise-owned bare shadow git repository, the global lockfile, and a journal of what changed. `mise bootstrap generations` lists them and `generations show` inspects one. Retention is bounded by the new bootstrap.generations.keep setting; bootstrap.generations.enabled turns recording off. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The pinned mbx wrapper was three releases behind the current release. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
mise.toml already selects only 1.8.1; mise.lock still carried the full 1.5.0 artifact set. `mise lock mr-boxington` prunes it, matching the fix applied to #12822 before it was folded in here. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- exclude mise-owned directories from snapshots before walking, not after the walker has already pruned them - record the --from/--from-git checkout as its own generation so the child's before snapshot is not already post-clone - wrap dotfiles edit, packages import, and brew tap/untap as whole commands so the source edit and config writes are recorded - keep the bootstrap state directory private even when it predates this version - note unapplies in the journal so they are never dropped as no-ops - hold the store lock across the after snapshot so a concurrent prune cannot gc unreferenced objects - use canonical part names in full-run summaries - record hook and task markers before they run, only when hooks are enabled - label which snapshot `show --files` lists and include the lockfile - fix an unused_mut on Windows; docs and settings wording Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Add `mise bootstrap generations diff`: one id compares a run's before and after snapshots, two ids compare the states two runs left behind. Supports --patch, --root LABEL[/PATH] (following aliased and contained roots), --exit-code, and prints the journal entries of the generations covered. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- resolve --root separately for each snapshot, so a root that is an alias or nested in one generation and standalone in another still lines up - recognise git's real missing-path message and report the path instead of a raw plumbing failure; test the exact error - refuse a single-id diff of a pending generation rather than comparing its before snapshot to itself - use forward slashes for contained roots on Windows Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A --root path that exists on one side only is compared against an empty tree or blob, so an added or removed path shows up whole instead of failing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Dotfile applies, unapplies, `add`, and edits now write a write-ahead journal into the open generation: a path_changed entry captures each touched path's prior state (file content and mode, symlink destination, directory contents, or missing) before the mutation, and a committed entry records the state it left behind. Prior content is stored inline or as a content-addressed blob. This is the data a later rollback inverts. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- journal the ancestors an edit creates and the intermediate directories a directory copy creates, so rollback can remove them again - distinguish unreadable paths from missing ones when observing prior state - capture directories shallowly when they keep being directories - guard the short-sha rendering against short digests - apply only ~/.copied in the mise-dirs e2e step, whose dotfiles root override makes the added entry's implied source missing Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
`[dotfiles]` gains `mode = "track"`: the file stays where it is, nothing is copied or linked, and history saves a checkpoint of it right away. Entries carry the history policies `autosave`, `share`, and `backup`, `variants` selected like bootstrap packages (`os`) and mise environments (`profile`), and `enabled = false` to switch an inherited declaration off; the sources of source-managed entries are enrolled automatically, tracking is enrolled from the system and global layers only, and declarations history cannot honour are reported as invalid instead of counted as protection. `mise bootstrap dotfiles track|untrack` (and the `mise history paths add|set|remove` aliases) write the declaration, save the baseline, verify the entry is active, and say when nothing saves edits automatically. Untracking persists and leaves the file and its checkpoints in place. `*.local.toml` files and credential stores are private by default. The generations store becomes `mise history`: one bare repository under `$MISE_STATE_DIR/history/` holds every checkpoint as a parentless wrapper commit (snapshot tree rooted at `$HOME`, `meta.json`, journal blobs) with a UUID, a machine identity, the effective coverage rules, and the changes since the previous checkpoint; the index and the saved-version ledger are rebuildable from it. Mutating bootstrap commands hold an operation lock, persist a pending record before mutating, and record a protective checkpoint plus an outcome. Manual-save files are carried forward from their promoted version (`refs/promoted`); only an explicit save promotes what is on disk. `history.keep.count` and `history.keep.age` replace `bootstrap.generations.*`. `mise history [ls|show|diff|paths|save|describe|status]` browse and record checkpoints; `mise bootstrap generations` is a view over the same store. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- undo the declaration when an enrollment cannot be activated or has no baseline, so a failed `track` never leaves a path looking protected - refuse `mise history save <path>` for paths capture skips (excluded, missing, omitted), not only untracked ones - reload the tracked set before the outcome capture so declarations a run adds (a new source, a new destination) are in its snapshot and coverage - untracking through a local override removes the user's own declaration underneath and switches an inherited one off locally - a manual-save entry with no promotion yet is promoted by its first capture instead of vanishing from snapshots - `bootstrap generations diff A B` prints journals for reversed ranges Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- `mise bootstrap dotfiles add --mode track` is refused with the command to use instead of reaching an unreachable arm - rewriting a track declaration keeps every `os` of a variant - the tree-path round-trip test uses a path that does not exist, since an existing one is canonicalized (`/etc` is a link on macOS) - the Windows dotfiles test reports why capture is unavailable before asserting the repository exists Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ld files only The product is bootstrap-managed dotfiles with automatic file history, recovery, and sharing, not a history of mise activity. Every command moves under `mise bootstrap dotfiles`: `track`, `untrack`, `save`, `paths`, `status` (management state followed by history state), and `history [ls|show|diff|describe]` as the checkpoint browser. The top-level `mise history` and `mise bootstrap generations` interfaces are gone; neither shipped. An operation record keeps what file recovery needs: the command as provenance, the protective checkpoint, and a journal of the files the run changed with their prior contents. Journaling of packages, services, hooks, tasks, and lockfile snapshots is removed, as is the list of bootstrap parts; a checkpoint holds files, not machine state. Declarations written for every machine go to the shared global `config.toml`, never to a `.local.toml` that happens to be the only global file.

This operation wrapper records packages use, but the command saves its TOML configuration without registering that path with the journal. The same pattern appears in package import, brew tap and untap, and the configuration write in dotfiles add. Their checkpoints can show that configuration changed while omitting its prior contents from operation.journal, so the promised per-file provenance is incomplete and a selective undo cannot reverse those writes from the journal.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Not changed. After the revision, an operation record journals only file changes for partial-progress recovery, and the before/after checkpoint pair captures the global configuration directory, which is always tracked. A configuration write by packages use, import, brew tap, or dotfiles add is therefore recoverable with mise bootstrap dotfiles rollback --to <before>.

That distinction is valid for writes inside the global configuration directory, but it does not cover every path these commands can write. The implicit tracked set includes global_config_dir() and dotfiles.root; the target is resolved separately and may be a local/environment config or an arbitrary --path. In particular, packages use and packages import can write non-global targets, while brew tap/untap and dotfiles add also support local/path targets. A config file outside the tracked roots is absent from both the before and after snapshots, so rollback to the before checkpoint cannot restore it. The original concern should therefore be narrowed to those non-global target cases; global writes are covered as described.

In `@docs/bootstrap.md`:
- Line 352: Update the bootstrap documentation to remove the duplicate history
command and its accompanying text, or replace it with the correct
operations-only command. Keep the remaining history example unchanged.
In `@docs/cli/bootstrap/dotfiles.md`:
- Line 19: Update the usage source or renderer for the `mise bootstrap dotfiles
history` command so its generated synopsis marks `<SUBCOMMAND>` as optional,
`[SUBCOMMAND]`; do not edit the generated Markdown directly. Locate the command
definition or rendering logic responsible for this synopsis and preserve valid
checkpoint listing without a subcommand.
In `@docs/cli/bootstrap/dotfiles/paths.md`:
- Around line 11-13: Update the documentation text describing declaration
histories that cannot be honored to be grammatically complete and explicitly
name the invalid, omitted, and incomplete states reported by the paths handling.
Clarify that all three are non-active states and must not be mistaken for active
protection.
In `@docs/cli/bootstrap/dotfiles/save.md`:
- Around line 10-12: Update the documentation describing save exit status to
clarify that save errors fail, while an unchanged save with no checkpoint
succeeds as a no-op; preserve the existing --best-effort warning behavior for
errors and avoid implying that every save without changes fails.
In `@docs/dotfiles.md`:
- Line 75: Update the manual-save policy documentation in the autosave row to
describe both supported promotion paths, including the operation that names the
file, and keep it consistent with the implementation and docs/history.md.
In `@schema/mise.json`:
- Line 1141: Add "minimum": 0 to the integer schema property for
history.keep.count so negative retention counts are rejected while nonnegative
values remain valid.
- Around line 1120-1122: Add the `history` schema entry at the top-level
configuration properties to match `MiseToml.history` and the documented
`[history]` path, including its `exclude` field. Keep the existing
`$defs.settings.properties.history` controls separate unless the runtime
intentionally uses only one namespace, and ensure validation and editor
completion cover the supported top-level path.
In `@settings.toml`:
- Around line 1255-1257: Update the history-setting documentation to replace
mise history save with mise bootstrap dotfiles save, and revise related command
references so they consistently use the exposed bootstrap dotfiles save command.
In `@src/cli/bootstrap.rs`:
- Line 1785: Update the bootstrap checkout flow around
OperationScope::begin("bootstrap --from", ...) to store the git pull/clone
result, call generation.finish(...) with the actual checkout error when it
fails, and then return that error; preserve successful completion behavior.
In `@src/cli/command_effects.rs`:
- Line 84: Update the effect classifications for the dotfiles history commands,
including the entries around “bootstrap dotfiles history” in the command effects
list, from Read to Write because their recovery path invokes recover_stale and
persists history metadata. Keep unrelated command classifications unchanged.
In `@src/cli/dotfiles/apply.rs`:
- Around line 50-56: Extend the operation scope used by BootstrapDotfilesApply
so it remains active through both the pre-dotfiles and post-dotfiles hooks,
rather than wrapping only self.run_inner(). Move OperationScope::wrap to the
outer command flow or otherwise include both hook phases while preserving the
existing dotfiles operation behavior and dry-run handling.
In `@src/cli/dotfiles/save.rs`:
- Around line 102-104: Update the Outcome::Unchanged branch in the save command
to return an error instead of Ok, while retaining the existing informational log
so --best-effort can convert the failure into a warning.
In `@src/git.rs`:
- Around line 866-867: Update HistoryRepo::diff and
GitPlumbing::output_unchecked for --patch requests so large patch output is
streamed or written to a bounded temporary file instead of being fully buffered
in DiffResult::output or wait_with_output; preserve --exit-code handling and
ensure the output remains available for printing.
In `@src/system/files.rs`:
- Around line 296-297: Update files_from_config so later-layer declarations are
applied before file_requests_match deduplication, preserving the later request’s
enabled, policy, and variants values, including enabled = false overrides. Do
not solve this by adding those fields to file_requests_match; ensure
composed.retain runs only after inherited requests have been overridden.
In `@src/system/history/journal.rs`:
- Around line 404-413: Update PathState::observe to avoid buffering entire
files: use a streaming hash helper for files at or below BLOB_MAX, and represent
oversized files by identity based on size and mode. Preserve the existing
unreadable-file handling and ensure the resulting state remains compatible with
capture_file.
- Around line 144-149: Update the journal blob creation flow around
blobs_dir_in, create_dir_all, and file::write_atomic to enforce mode 0o700 on
the blob directory and 0o600 on every blob, including files that already exist.
Apply the permissions explicitly rather than relying on the process umask, while
preserving the existing atomic write and no-overwrite behavior.
In `@src/system/history/scope.rs`:
- Around line 478-484: Update the recovery flow around attempt_locked so
remove_file is executed only when the recovery capture succeeds; retain the
pending record when attempt_locked returns an error, while preserving the
existing warning log.
In `@src/system/history/store.rs`:
- Around line 570-579: Update the error branch in the pending-record loading
match to quarantine an unreadable record by renaming its file instead of
deleting it. Preserve the warning and retain the unreadable file under a
distinct quarantine name so recover_stale cannot process it but the data remains
available for inspection.
In `@src/system/history/tracked.rs`:
- Around line 393-401: Update the file classification flow around the
explicit-target handling and credential checks so glob patterns from
credential_set() are evaluated for every captured file, including explicit mode
= "track" targets, while CREDENTIAL_NAMES matching remains restricted to
config_dir. Ensure matching files receive share = false and backup = false and
are recorded as private files with the existing credential-store reason.

[P1] Apply exclusions to directly tracked files
The non-directory branch inserts the file without consulting exclude; only descendants in the directory walker get that check. An individually declared file therefore continues entering checkpoints even when its path matches [history].exclude. This can retain sensitive contents a user explicitly excluded, and the watcher filtering events does not prevent explicit/bootstrap/reconciliation captures. Check exclusions before inserting direct files as well. Add a regression that tracks a file, excludes that exact path, modifies it, and verifies subsequent snapshots do not contain it.

Fixed in c397767: walk_entry checks the exclusion set before inserting a directly declared file, the same check the directory walker applies to descendants. Regression in test_dotfiles_track: a tracked file is excluded by exact path, modified, and saved; the next checkpoint records it as removed and its file list does not contain it.

Deleting an autosave=false file and explicitly saving that deletion removes its saved-index entry here. If the application recreates the file, manual_plan sees never_promoted = true and the next non-protective capture promotes the new bytes without an explicit save. Keep a durable distinction between never enrolled and explicitly saved as absent, including when rebuilding the saved index. Test baseline -> delete -> explicit save -> recreate -> unrelated capture; the saved version should remain absent until the user saves it again.

Fixed in c397767: an explicitly saved deletion writes a SavedRecord with absent = true (mirrored into promotions.json, so a rebuilt saved index keeps it) instead of dropping the entry, so manual_plan treats the recreated file as saved-absent and carries the absence forward until the user saves it again. save <path> now accepts a deleted manual-save path so the deletion can be saved. Regression in test_dotfiles_history_policies: baseline → delete → explicit save → recreate → unrelated capture keeps the snapshot absent; a further explicit save promotes the new content.

[P2] Limit manual promotion to the requested subtree
For an autosave=false directory, naming any child selects the entire enclosing entry for promotion. compose_manual then reads and promotes the tree at the directory's path, including other changed children that were not requested. For example, changing a and b under a manual-save directory and running save <dir>/a also saves b. Compose the requested subtree into the previously promoted directory instead of promoting the full entry. Add a sibling-isolation regression for both explicit save and operations that name a child.

Fixed in c397767: when every explicit path lies strictly inside a manual-save directory, compose_manual overlays only those subtrees onto the previously promoted directory and the snapshot takes the entry from the new promoted tree rather than the live tree. Naming the directory itself (or a parent) still promotes it whole. This also fixed composing a directory into the promoted tree at all (read-tree --prefix needs the work-tree flag the other index-only calls pass). Regression: change a and b under a manual-save directory, save <dir>/a; the snapshot holds the new a and the old b, and an unrelated save keeps both.

[P2] Compact promotion ancestry during retention
Each promotion retains the prior promotion as its Git parent, while retention only deletes checkpoint refs and runs GC. Consequently every old version promoted for autosave=false entries remains reachable through refs/promoted even after its checkpoints expire; repeated manual saves grow storage indefinitely despite keep.count/keep.age. Add a compaction strategy that preserves current promoted state and any versions still required by retained checkpoints without rooting the full expired chain. A regression should prune old checkpoints, run GC, and verify an otherwise-unreferenced old promoted blob is no longer retained.

Fixed in c397767: retention::prune calls HistoryRepo::compact_promotions before gc whenever checkpoints were pruned. It squashes refs/promoted to one parentless commit holding the current promoted state; every promoted version a retained checkpoint needs is in that checkpoint's own snapshot, so nothing else roots the expired chain. Regression in test_dotfiles_history_policies: the first promoted version's blob exists, a save with keep.count = 1 prunes and compacts, and git cat-file -e on that blob then fails while the chain depth is 1.

- reading the history never closes a crashed operation; an explicit save holds the operation lock, so it neither interleaves with a bootstrap nor leaves a stale record for one that died - a recovery that cannot record the failed operation keeps its pending record, and an unreadable record is set aside instead of deleted - the direct `bootstrap dotfiles apply` runs its hooks inside the operation - a `bootstrap --from` checkout failure is recorded with its error - a tracked symlink is the link itself; its destination is a derived entry - credential name patterns are private wherever they are captured, and only a declaration that sets `share` or `backup` itself overrides that - a later layer's `enabled`, policies, and variants win over an identical inherited declaration instead of being dropped as a duplicate - journal blobs are private files, hashed without buffering - a patch diff streams to the terminal - schema: top-level `[history]`, unsigned settings reject negatives - docs and tests name the shipped commands; the Windows test says why the store is unusable when it is Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Save accepts untracked missing paths
Medium Severity
The new deletion exception treats any missing path under a autosave = false entry as a saved deletion. A typo or never-existing child of a manual-save directory therefore succeeds instead of failing, which breaks the guarantee that save rejects paths that are not captured.

Recorded modes ignore composed snapshot
Medium Severity
file_modes reads live permission bits from walk.files after carry drops and before compose_manual replaces content. Carried files get no modes, and partial promotion stores live modes for siblings whose snapshot bytes are still the saved version, so a later restore cannot put private files back private.

Preserve the complete directory on its first explicit child save.
When saved has no record for a manual-save directory and explicit_paths names only a child, whole is false. The partial branch builds from the empty or previously promoted tree, not live_tree, and adds only the named child. The new record then makes this incomplete tree the saved baseline, so later captures carry it and omit unchanged siblings. Force whole when saved does not contain the entry, and add a regression test with an unchanged sibling.

Revised per the product decisions of 2026-09-05: everything lives under
mise bootstrap dotfiles, checkpoints hold files only, and the stack rebases onto main (#12830). This PR now carries the foundation layers formerly split across #12819, #12821, and #12824 (closed in favour of this one), rebased onto main.What it delivers: bootstrap-managed dotfiles with automatic file history. Files you already have are tracked where they are; every change is captured (by the watcher in the next PRs, by every mutating bootstrap command before and after the run, and by explicit saves); a checkpoint records files, never package or service state.

An operation record carries the command line, cwd, user, status, error, the protective checkpoint, and a journal of the files the run changed with their prior contents (partial progress and failures included, so selective undo can reverse them). Removed from this revision: structured journaling of package installation, service transitions, hooks, tasks, and lockfile snapshots, and the list of bootstrap parts.

Medium Risk
Wide changes to bootstrap and dotfiles apply paths plus persistent local git storage of user configuration; behavior is heavily tested but mistakes could affect config recovery or checkpoint recording.
Overview
Adds dotfiles history: a git-backed checkpoint store under
$MISE_STATE_DIR/history/that snapshots tracked config (global mise dir, dotfiles root, and[dotfiles]entries) without journaling packages or services.In-place tracking via
mise bootstrap dotfiles track/untrackintroducesmode = "track"with policies (autosave,share,backup), OS/profile variants, and enrollment rules (global config only; conflicts with source-managed entries). Explicit saves (dotfiles save) and a history browser (historyls/show/diff/describe,paths) support manual-save promotion throughrefs/promoted.Mutating bootstrap and dotfiles commands (full
mise bootstrap, per-partapply,add/edit/unapply, andbootstrap --fromclone/pull) now record before/outcome checkpoint pairs with file journals viaOperationScope; dry runs record nothing. Dotfiles status JSON gains ahistorysection and atrackeddeployment state.Also adds
