ci: cap comment lines at twice code lines, in aggregate

[thedavidmeister]

Closes #396.

rainix-static comment-loc-cap: fails when comment lines exceed twice the code lines, summed over every tracked file under the given paths (default src test). One aggregate cap, strict: at twice passes. On failure it prints the totals and every file's counts, heaviest comment share first. Comment syntax by extension (// and /* */ for .sol/.rs/.ts/.js, # for .sh/.toml/.yaml, both for .nix); other extensions are not counted; a path set selecting no counted file is an error. Wired into rainix-sol-static as a step via the composite action .github/actions/comment-loc-cap, which callers can also use directly with a paths input.

Rust in rainix-static rather than shell, per this repo's rule against bash logic.

On rain.lib.leakybucket at 06baa59:

comment-loc-cap: clean — 13 files

QA

• Discriminating tests: 16 unit tests in comment_loc_cap.rs (line classification per syntax, trailing and block comments, string literals holding markers, the 2:1 boundary at 6/3 vs 7/3, totals reported with every file, a file over on its own passing when the aggregate is under, empty path set, outside git) and 6 bats cases against the action script and the built binary. All pass inside the nix build and the devshell.
• Mutations applied: none.
• Oracle: hand-counted fixtures (Over.sol 7/2 + Ok.sol 1/1 = 8 against a cap of 6 fails; add 3 code lines and 8 against 12 passes).
• Category check: Cap comment lines at twice code lines, in aggregate, in shared CI #396 asks for one aggregate comment cap at 2:1 in shared CI. Covered. Not covered: extensions beyond the listed ones are skipped, not counted.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added a configurable check for tracked source files that fails when total comment lines exceed twice total code lines.
  • On failure, the check reports aggregate totals and counts for each scanned file. Scanning is limited to selected directories and supported file types.
  • The check now runs in the Rust and Solidity static-analysis workflows.

• Documentation

  • Updated workflow and README guidance to explain the aggregate limit and directory selection.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The rainix-static command checks whether comment lines across selected tracked source files exceed twice the total code lines. A composite action exposes the check, and workflows run it on configured paths. The documentation and tests describe and verify the aggregate rule.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0ae9b

The shell-test CI workflow will fail until its assertion matches the action default. Fix that before merging; the failure report also needs its file ordering corrected.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0ae9b

The new gate can affect multiple CI callers, but the reviewed path keeps caller input out of shell code, limits counting to selected tracked files, and fails when counting cannot complete. No security finding was established. Shared-action rollout and one external tool’s filename handling remain uncertain.

Retained concerns

• Low · architecture · inferred: The new gate is consumed through floating @main action references, so its enforcement can change independently of callers’ pinned tooling. A failing revision would require a shared-action change or caller intervention to roll back.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — A caller or contributor able to change selected tracked files can affect the gate’s outcome in workflows using the action. The reviewed selection path does not include untracked files.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The action forwards paths through an environment variable and a quoted argument. Git receives a pathspec separator, and the scanner restricts scc input to Git-reported names with counted extensions.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Counting errors and an empty counted selection fail closed rather than producing a passing CI result.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Confirm how scc treats tracked root-level filenames beginning with a dash; if it can interpret them as options, preserve filenames as data using a supported argument separator or equivalent normalization. No bypass was established.

Explanation

Issue #396 requires the aggregate cap over tracked counted files under src/ and test/. scan and report implement the strict comment <= 2 * code rule and print totals plus every file. However, .github/actions/comment-loc-cap/action.yml defaults paths to src test .github, and both static workflows use that default. .github code lines can therefore change the aggregate and can mask a src or test violation.

Unlike C, Rust block comments nest: `/* outer /* inner */ still outer */` is a single, correctly-closed comment — the compiler tracks nesting depth rather than closing at the first `*/` encountered. This makes it safe to comment out a chunk of code that itself already contains a block comment. ### Nested block comments ``` fn main() { /* <- this is a block comment: everything up to the matching closing delimiter is ignored, even across multiple lines */ let x = 5; /* nesting works: /* an inner comment */ doesn&`#39`;t end the outer one early */ println!("{x}"); } ``` Restriction: the opening `/*` and closing `*/` must both be present — an unterminated block comment is a compile error, unlike a line comment which simply ends at the newline. ### Testing While tracking down a failing test, it&`#39`;s common to temporarily comment out a whole test function to isolate the problem. `/* */`&`#39`;s nesting is what makes this safe even when the test body already contains its own comments — a plain `//`-based approach would require commenting out every line individually. ``` /* #[test] fn flaky_retry_logic() { // this test intermittently fails on slow CI runners — disabled // while investigating; see issue tracker let result = retry_with_backoff(3); assert!(result.is_ok()); } */ // <- the whole block above (including its own // comments) is inert; // because /* */ nests, any *balanced* inner /* ... */ pair in the // disabled code can&`#39`;t accidentally close this wrapper early #[test] fn stable_retry_logic() { assert_eq!(retry_with_backoff(0), Ok(())); } ``` Note the limit of the nesting guarantee: an unmatched stray `*/` in the disabled code (say, inside a string literal) still closes the wrapper at that point — nesting only protects properly paired inner comments. This is a deliberately temporary debugging aid, not a substitute for `#[ignore]` — once the investigation is done, either fix the test or mark it properly with `#[ignore = "reason"]` so it still shows up (as skipped) in `cargo test` output instead of silently vanishing from the codebase. ## Explanation Embedded support: Full `/* ... */` is unchanged in embedded Rust: a lexical construct fully stripped before compilation, so it costs nothing on a target with no `std`, no heap, and no OS. Its nesting property is genuinely useful in firmware work, where large chunks of register-twiddling or interrupt setup code get commented out wholesale while bringing up new hardware. ### Disabling an interrupt handler during bring-up Commenting out a whole `#[interrupt]` handler while debugging a board&`#39`;s power sequencing is exactly the case `/* */`&`#39`;s nesting protects — the handler body already has its own `/* */`-free `//` comments, but if it contained a block comment of its own, nesting would still keep this outer one i…[truncated] <title>Comments - Rust By Example</title> https://doc.rust-lang.org/rust-by-example/hello/comment.html Comments - Rust By Example ## Keyboard shortcuts Press ← or → to navigate between chapters Press S or / to search in the book Press ? to show this help Press Esc to hide this help - Auto - Light - Rust - Coal - Navy - Ayu # Rust By Example Any program requires comments, and Rust supports a few different varieties: ## Regular Comments These are ignored by the compiler: - Line comments: Start with`//` and continue to the end of the line - Block comments: Enclosed in`/* ... */` and can span multiple lines ## Documentation Comments (Doc Comments) which are parsed into HTML library documentation: - `///`- Generates docs for the item that follows it - `//!`- Generates docs for the enclosing item (typically used at the top of a file or module) ``` fn main() { // Line comments start with two slashes. // Everything after the slashes is ignored by the compiler. // Example: This line won&`#39`;t execute // println!("Hello, world!"); // Try removing the slashes above and running the code again. /* * Block comments are useful for temporarily disabling code. * They can also be nested: /* like this */ which makes it easy * to comment out large sections quickly. */ /* Note: The asterisk column on the left is just for style - it&`#39`;s not required by the language. */ // Block comments make it easy to toggle code on/off by adding // or removing just one slash: /* <- Add a &`#39`;/&`#39`; here to uncomment the entire block below println!("Now"); println!("everything"); println!("executes!"); // Line comments inside remain unaffected // */ // Block comments can also be used within expressions: let x = 5 + /* 90 + */ 5; println!("Is `x` 10 or 100? x = {}", x); } ``` ### See also: <title>Grammar summary - The Rust Reference</title> https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/grammar.html ## Lexer summary Lexer COMMENT → LINE_COMMENT | INNER_LINE_DOC | OUTER_LINE_DOC | INNER_BLOCK_DOC | OUTER_BLOCK_DOC | BLOCK_COMMENT ...

Handle nested Rust block comments.

Rust supports nested /* ... */ comments. The .rs path currently uses Syntax::CStyle, whose single in_block flag clears at the first */. The scanner then classifies the remaining outer-comment lines as code. This undercounts comments and can let an over-cap Rust file pass.

Add a Rust-specific block-comment mode that tracks nesting depth. Keep the current single-level behavior for non-Rust syntaxes.

Sort comment-only files by their actual comment share.

When a file has one comment line and zero code lines, code.max(1) gives it a sort ratio of 1. A file with ten comment lines and one code line then appears first, although the comment-only file has the higher comment share. Handle zero-code files separately in the comparator so the failure report follows the stated ordering.

@coderabbitai assess this PR size classification for the totality of the PR with the following criterias and report it in your comment:

S/M/L PR Classification Guidelines:

This guide helps classify merged pull requests by effort and complexity rather than just line count. The goal is to assess the difficulty and scope of changes after they have been completed.

Small (S)

Characteristics:

• Simple bug fixes, typos, or minor refactoring
• Single-purpose changes affecting 1-2 files
• Documentation updates
• Configuration tweaks
• Changes that require minimal context to review

Review Effort: Would have taken 5-10 minutes

Examples:

• Fix typo in variable name
• Update README with new instructions
• Adjust configuration values
• Simple one-line bug fixes
• Import statement cleanup

Medium (M)

Characteristics:

• Feature additions or enhancements
• Refactoring that touches multiple files but maintains existing behavior
• Breaking changes with backward compatibility
• Changes requiring some domain knowledge to review

Review Effort: Would have taken 15-30 minutes

Examples:

• Add new feature or component
• Refactor common utility functions
• Update dependencies with minor breaking changes
• Add new component with tests
• Performance optimizations
• More complex bug fixes

Large (L)

Characteristics:

• Major feature implementations
• Breaking changes or API redesigns
• Complex refactoring across multiple modules
• New architectural patterns or significant design changes
• Changes requiring deep context and multiple review rounds

Review Effort: Would have taken 45+ minutes

Examples:

• Complete new feature with frontend/backend changes
• Protocol upgrades or breaking changes
• Major architectural refactoring
• Framework or technology upgrades

Additional Factors to Consider

When deciding between sizes, also consider:

• Test coverage impact: More comprehensive test changes lean toward larger classification
• Risk level: Changes to critical systems bump up a size category
• Team familiarity: Novel patterns or technologies increase complexity

Notes:

• the assessment must be for the totality of the PR, that means comparing the base branch to the last commit of the PR
• the assessment output must be exactly one of: S, M or L (single-line comment) in format of: SIZE={S/M/L}
• do not include any additional text, only the size classification
• your assessment comment must not include tips or additional sections
• do NOT tag me or anyone else on your comment
