Closes the lint half of #1349 (acceptance items 1 and 2).

Why

crates/fbuild-paths/src/lib.rs:3 declares itself the single source of truth for every .fbuild path, but the layout underneath it is not a fixed string:

  • the env segment auto-collapses for single-environment projects,
  • FBUILD_BUILD_DIR replaces the root wholesale,
  • PIO projects nest the tree under .build/pio/<env>/.

A hardcoded dir.join(".fbuild/build/uno/release") pins exactly one of those shapes. When the rules move, the literal keeps compiling and silently points at a directory that does not exist — compile_cwd_from_output and BuildLayout consumers then disagree about where the build lives.

What

  • New dylints/ban_raw_fbuild_path — a late lint pass that flags any string literal whose contents include .fbuild, outside src/allowlist.txt. The UI fixture proves it catches both real-world shapes: a Path::join(".fbuild") segment and a format!(".fbuild/build/{}/release/...") template (rustc lowers format_args! pieces to HIR Lit nodes, so the late pass sees them).
  • fbuild_paths::{FBUILD_DIR_NAME, BUILD_DIR_NAME} — canonical consts so call sites have a mechanical replacement. fbuild-paths' own internal literals now route through them.
  • Baseline allowlist of 46 legacy files, explicitly marked shrink-only. Sanitize a file → delete its line → bump the crate version to bust the Dylint .so cache. Adding a line is not allowed.
  • Registered in the workspace exclude list, ci/hooks/crate_guard.py, and dylints/README.md.

Baseline derivation

The baseline was not grepped by eye: a Rust string-literal scanner (comment-stripping, raw-string- and escape-aware) enumerated every literal containing .fbuild across crates/ and bench/. That caught three files a naive single-line grep misses because the literal opens on an earlier line (fbuild-daemon/src/main.rs, fbuild-daemon/src/handlers/libraries.rs, fbuild-build/tests/compile_many_stage2_perf.rs). The PR's Dylint job is the final oracle; if it turns up a straggler, it gets folded into the baseline on this branch before merge.

Verified locally

  • soldr cargo test --manifest-path dylints/ban_raw_fbuild_path/Cargo.toml — UI test passes, 2 diagnostics as blessed.
  • soldr cargo fmt --manifest-path dylints/ban_raw_fbuild_path/Cargo.toml --all -- --check — clean.
  • uv run --no-project python ci/check_dylint_allowlists.py — all allowlist paths current.
  • soldr cargo check -p fbuild-paths --all-targets — clean.

Not in scope

Acceptance item 3 ("allowlist reaches zero") is the ratchet the issue describes across follow-ups — 46 files sanitized one at a time. This PR lands the gate and the baseline so that work has somewhere to land.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change centralizes .fbuild and build path names in fbuild-paths, adds the ban_raw_fbuild_path Dylint crate, establishes a shrink-only allowlist baseline, and integrates the lint with workspace checks and CI.

Changes

Fbuild path enforcement

Layer / File(s) Summary
Canonical path names
crates/fbuild-paths/src/lib.rs, crates/fbuild-paths/src/running_process.rs
The crate exports FBUILD_DIR_NAME and BUILD_DIR_NAME. Path construction and cache-root assertions use these constants.
Raw path lint and validation
dylints/ban_raw_fbuild_path/Cargo.toml, dylints/ban_raw_fbuild_path/rust-toolchain.toml, dylints/ban_raw_fbuild_path/src/*, dylints/ban_raw_fbuild_path/ui/*
The new Dylint checks string literals containing .fbuild, applies an allowlist, emits deny-level diagnostics, and validates rejected literals with UI tests.
Allowlist baseline enforcement
dylints/ban_raw_fbuild_path/src/allowlist.txt, ci/check_fbuild_path_baseline.py, .github/workflows/dylint.yml
The allowlist records legacy entries, the checker rejects new entries, and the workflow compares the current list with the main branch baseline.
Lint workspace integration and documentation
Cargo.toml, ci/hooks/crate_guard.py, dylints/README.md, dylints/ban_raw_fbuild_path/.cargo/*, dylints/ban_raw_fbuild_path/.gitignore, dylints/ban_raw_fbuild_path/README.md
The lint crate is excluded from the workspace, approved by crate-guard rules, configured for Dylint linking, and documented.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 479c5

The new lint gate is intended to prevent hardcoded .fbuild paths, but its baseline validation can pass after Git comparison errors and can apply exemptions to unrelated files with matching path suffixes. That could allow new violations to bypass enforcement, so these merge-readiness issues should be fixed before merge.

Local full-workspace verification after the span fix:

cargo-dylint dylint --lib ban_raw_fbuild_path -- --workspace --all-targets
# exit 0, zero violations

The first CI run's single unlocated error was assert!(cond) stringifying its own condition into "assertion failed: p.ends_with(\"sketch/.fbuild/build/uno/release\")" — a literal with no span, so it rendered against fbuild-build/src/lib.rs byte 0. Resolving through source_callsite() and dropping dummy spans fixes that, and in the process moved clap-derive help strings to their #[derive] call site, which added fbuild-cli/src/cli/args.rs to the baseline (46 → 47).

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Enforce the shrink-only baseline in CI.

These comments do not enforce the policy. is_allowlisted accepts every non-comment line identically, so adding a new source path bypasses the deny-level lint.

Add a CI check that rejects additions below the baseline marker.

CodeRabbit review on #1353:

- **Enforce the ratchet.** `is_allowlisted` treats every non-comment line
  identically, so the "may only shrink" comment stopped nothing. New
  `ci/check_fbuild_path_baseline.py` diffs the allowlist against
  `origin/main` and fails on any added entry; removals always pass. Wired
  into the Dylint workflow ahead of the heavy toolchain steps so a
  violation reports in seconds. Verified both directions: adding a line
  exits 1 and names it, removing one exits 0.
- **Drop the inert UI allowlist entry.** Compiletest compiles the fixture
  as `./ui/disallowed.rs`, so the repo-path entry never matched — the
  fixture has to trip the lint for the test to mean anything, and nothing
  under `dylints/` is swept anyway (every lint crate is in the root
  `exclude` list). Removed the entry and the stale README claim.
- **Correct the layout description.** `BuildLayout::resolve` drops the
  `<env>` segment when `flatten_env` is set or the project basename
  already equals the env name — not "when a project has a single
  environment", which is not a thing the code checks. Also names
  `override_root` alongside `FBUILD_BUILD_DIR` in the precedence chain,
  and fixes the PIO example, which is the basename-matches case and so
  resolves to `.build/pio/<board>/.fbuild/build/<profile>/`.
- State both allowlist exemptions in the `dylints/README.md` entry.
- Add the missing `dylints/ban_raw_fbuild_path/.cargo/README.md`.

@coderabbitai — addressed all five findings, rebased onto current main.

  1. Shrink-only enforcement (Major) — you're right that the comment enforced nothing. Added ci/check_fbuild_path_baseline.py, which diffs the allowlist against origin/main and fails on any added entry (removals always pass), wired into the Dylint workflow ahead of the toolchain steps so a violation reports in seconds instead of 12 minutes. Verified both directions: adding a line exits 1 and names it, removing one exits 0.
  2. UI fixture on the allowlist (Major) — removed, along with the stale README claim. Worth noting the entry was inert rather than harmful: compiletest compiles the fixture as ./ui/disallowed.rs, so the repo-path entry never matched, which is why the UI test was already passing with both diagnostics blessed. Nothing under dylints/ is swept anyway — every lint crate is in the root exclude list.
  3. Layout description (Minor) — corrected in both READMEs. BuildLayout::resolve collapses <env> when flatten_env is set or the project basename equals the env name; environment count is never consulted. Also names override_root alongside FBUILD_BUILD_DIR, and fixes the PIO example — that's the basename-matches case, so it resolves to .build/pio/<board>/.fbuild/build/<profile>/, not .../build/<board>/<profile>/.
  4. dylints/README.md scope statement (Minor) — now states both exemptions.
  5. Missing .cargo/README.md (Major) — added.

Full-workspace cargo-dylint dylint --lib ban_raw_fbuild_path -- --workspace --all-targets remains clean (exit 0).

@zackees Confirmed. The five findings are addressed.

  • ci/check_fbuild_path_baseline.py rejects added non-comment allowlist entries and permits removals.
  • The Dylint workflow runs the baseline check before toolchain installation.
  • The UI fixture is not in src/allowlist.txt.
  • BuildLayout::resolve and both READMEs now describe the correct environment-collapse and root-override rules.
  • dylints/ban_raw_fbuild_path/.cargo/README.md is present.

I could not independently run cargo-dylint in this sandbox. Your reported full-workspace verification is consistent with the committed changes.

🐇 ✅

Learning: In `crates/fbuild-paths/src/lib.rs`, `BuildLayout::resolve` omits the `<env>` path segment when `BuildLayout::flatten_env` is true or when the project directory basename equals `BuildLayout::env_name`. Root precedence is `BuildLayout::override_root`, then `FBUILD_BUILD_DIR`, then the default `<project>/.fbuild/build` root.

`fbuild-paths` declares itself the single source of truth for every
`.fbuild` path, but the layout underneath it is not a fixed string: the
env segment auto-collapses for single-environment projects,
`FBUILD_BUILD_DIR` replaces the root wholesale, and PIO projects nest the
tree under `.build/pio/<env>/`. A hardcoded
`dir.join(".fbuild/build/uno/release")` pins exactly one of those shapes
— when the rules move, the literal keeps compiling and silently points at
a directory that does not exist.

- New `dylints/ban_raw_fbuild_path` lint crate. Flags any string literal
  whose contents include `.fbuild`, outside the allowlist. The UI fixture
  proves it catches both shapes: a `Path::join(".fbuild")` segment and a
  `format!(".fbuild/build/{}/release/...")` template.
- Export `fbuild_paths::{FBUILD_DIR_NAME, BUILD_DIR_NAME}` so call sites
  have a mechanical replacement, and route fbuild-paths' own internal
  literals through them.
- Baseline allowlist of the 46 legacy files that spell `.fbuild` today,
  marked shrink-only: sanitize a file, delete its line, bump the crate
  version to bust the Dylint `.so` cache. Adding a line is not allowed.
- Register in the workspace `exclude` list, `ci/hooks/crate_guard.py`,
  and `dylints/README.md`.

Refs #1349

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The first CI run surfaced one violation with no source location at all —
rendered against `crates/fbuild-build/src/lib.rs` byte 0, which is neither
fixable nor allowlistable. It comes from `assert!(cond)` synthesizing
`"assertion failed: <stringified cond>"`: the stringified condition
carries the `.fbuild` text but the literal has no span.

`check_expr` now resolves through `Span::source_callsite()` and drops
dummy spans. Two consequences, both intended:

- macro-synthesized literals with no source location stay quiet, because
  a diagnostic nobody can locate is one nobody can fix;
- literals that DO have a call site now report there instead of inside
  the expansion. That surfaced `fbuild-cli/src/cli/args.rs`, where clap's
  `#[derive(Subcommand)]` stringifies `///` doc text into help strings.
  Added to the baseline (now 47 files) and documented under "Known
  problems".

Verified: `cargo-dylint dylint --lib ban_raw_fbuild_path -- --workspace
--all-targets` is clean over the whole workspace, and the UI test still
blesses both fixture diagnostics.

- Around line 1-3: Change the allowlist matching logic to compare normalized
repository-relative source paths for exact matches instead of matching path
suffixes, preventing colliding nested paths from inheriting exemptions; update
the relevant lint implementation and add a regression test covering a path that
ends with an allowlisted path but is distinct from it.

Fail closed when the comparison command fails.

read_at_ref returns None for every nonzero git show status. An invalid --base, missing Git object, or other Git error then looks like an absent allowlist, and main returns success on Lines [71-76].

Only return None after confirming that the ref is valid and the allowlist path is absent. Propagate other errors with their diagnostics so CI cannot pass without a comparison.

Compare repository-relative paths, not path suffixes.

The tail-match rule lets a new source path such as crates/fbuild-build/src/crates/fbuild-core/src/path.rs inherit the existing exemption for crates/fbuild-core/src/path.rs. A raw .fbuild literal in that new module would bypass the shrink-only policy without adding an allowlist entry.

Resolve each source file to its repository-relative path before comparing it with the allowlist. Add a regression test for a colliding suffix.
