Fix lint scope selection for missing or unreliable refs and pass filenames without shell interpolation. Fall back to all files when required.

Validation: 14 Windows/Linux regression tests, applicable hooks and actionlint pass. Linux integration passes twice without tracked changes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores

    • Improved automated validation for branch, tag, pull request, and merge-group events.
    • Linting now automatically selects the appropriate scope, checking the full repository when needed and limiting checks to relevant changes otherwise.
    • Added more reliable handling for deleted references, unusual filenames, shallow checkouts, and unavailable change history.
    • Updated CI checks to use a consistent linting process and supported Python environment.
  • Tests

    • Expanded coverage for lint-scope selection, event types, and failure scenarios to improve confidence in continuous integration checks.

Walkthrough

The static-checks workflow delegates lint scope selection to ci_lint.py. The script evaluates GitHub events and repository history, selects full-tree or range linting, and returns the pre-commit status. The workflow adds Python tests and skips deleted-reference push events.

Changes

CI lint scope selection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow checkout and lint invocation
.github/workflows/runner.yml, .github/workflows/static_checks.yml
The workflows skip deleted-reference pushes, configure read-only full-history checkout, install Python and pre-commit, run scope tests, and invoke ci_lint.py.
Event-based lint scope selection
misc/scripts/ci_lint.py
ci_lint.py validates commits, derives event-specific ranges, selects --all-files or a commit range, and returns the pre-commit status.
Repository-based scope tests
tests/python_build/test_ci_lint.py
Tests cover event handling, history failures, changed filenames, subprocess status, and range versus full-tree linting.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 391b8

This updates CI lint scope selection to safely fall back to full-repository linting when references are unreliable and avoids shell interpolation for filenames. The covered behavior is ready to merge.

Isolate the fixture repository from ambient Git configuration.

setUp sets user.name, user.email, and core.autocrlf, but it inherits the rest of the developer's global Git configuration. If a contributor sets commit.gpgsign = true or core.hooksPath globally, self.commit() fails and every test in this class errors. CI is unaffected, so the failure appears only locally.

         self.git("config", "user.name", "Lint Test")

Consider caching the pre-commit hook environments.

The workflow now installs pre-commit with pip instead of using pre-commit/action, which cached ~/.cache/pre-commit keyed by .pre-commit-config.yaml. Without that cache, every run rebuilds each hook environment. This job gates all build jobs in .github/workflows/runner.yml, so the added time affects every workflow run.

        run: python -m pip install pre-commit==4.6.2

        with:
          path: ~/.cache/pre-commit
          key: pre-commit-${{ runner.os }}-${{ hashFiles('.pre-commit-config.yaml') }}

Add explicit parentheses around the compound conditions. The current precedence is correct, but parentheses make the platform/web/ and XML rules easier to review. Do not add .codespellrc, .gitattributes, or .mailmap; .codespellrc is not tracked, and the other files do not affect this CI invocation. The .clang-tidy hook is manual.

Hi @dominicbytes,
What is the specific problem that you are trying to address here?
IIRC pre-commit can already do a lot of this stuff. This seems really over engineered and has significant issues and introduces significant performance regressions, and it is not quite clear what problem it is actually trying to solve.

I am going to go ahead and close this PR for now as I don't feel like it is salvageable in its current state.
But I would be more than happy to discuss the underlying issue you are attempting to fix with you, and try and come to a more acceptable scope and solution for a future PR.

The scope issue was multi-commit pushes: with fetch-depth: 2, the before commit can be unavailable; the suppressed diff error then leaves an empty file list. The filename transformation also interpolates paths through sh -c. I expanded these into an overly broad handler and full-tree fallbacks. I will leave this closed and keep any future proposal focused on the specific cases using pre-commit’s existing ref options.
