Fixes #82.

removemacai background of (a typo for off) used to print the background-item list and exit 0, so the typo went unnoticed. TweakCommands.background now only lists items when no action is given; off/on proceed as before, and anything else fails with unknown action "of", use off or on.

Adds a selftest check that runs background of and expects the failure, following the existing unknown-export-option coverage.

I could not run swift build/selftest locally (no Swift toolchain on this machine); relying on CI for build + self-test on macos-26.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Background items are now listed only when the command is run without an action.
    • Invalid actions now return an error indicating that on or off must be used.

`removemacai background of` (a typo for `off`) used to list background
items and exit 0. Only no action, `off` or `on` lists or proceeds now;
anything else fails with `unknown action "of", use off or on`.

Fixes omlahore#82.

Walkthrough

The background command now rejects unknown actions instead of listing items. A self-test checks that background of fails and reports the expected error.

Changes: Background action validation

Validate background actions
Sources/removemacai/TweakCommands.swift, Sources/removemacai/SelfTest.swift
The command lists items when no action is supplied and rejects actions other than off or on. The self-test checks the error for background of after removing ANSI escape codes.

Explanation

Issue #82 requires no action, off, and on to be accepted, and all other actions to fail. TweakCommands.background now lists items only when args.first is absent. It rejects other actions with unknown action "...", use off or on before scanning items. SelfTest.swift runs background of and checks the failure and error text.

Explanation

The reviewed changes are limited to validating background actions and adding self-test coverage for the invalid of action. Both changes directly support issue #82. No unrelated change is shown in the supplied PR evidence.

Remove the unused labels binding.

The action branch does not read labels on Line [164]. CI uses -warnings-as-errors, so Swift reports this warning as an error and the build fails. Remove this binding; the no-action branch already obtains the labels it needs.

🪛 GitHub Actions: CI / 0_build.txt

[error] 164-164: Swift build failed: immutable value 'labels' is initialized but never used (#no-usage). The command 'swift build -c release --arch arm64 -Xswiftc -warnings-as-errors' treats warnings as errors.

Verification update: I installed Swift 6.4.1 locally (Linux) and attempted a full build, but this package cannot link on Linux — the UAF Objective-C target fails (-fobjc-arc is not supported on platforms using the legacy runtime), and the target also ships SwiftUI/AppKit/Security code, so a real binary still needs macOS CI.

What I did verify locally:

  • swiftc -parse on both edited files (Sources/removemacai/TweakCommands.swift, Sources/removemacai/SelfTest.swift): exit 0, no diagnostics.
  • A harness replicating the exact new guard flow, all four cases: bare background lists (exit 0), off/on proceed (exit 0), of prints error: unknown action "of", use off or on (exit 1).

The new selftest case covers the same background of invocation end-to-end once CI builds on macOS.
