feat: Add update notification for outdated hook pins - #1019
Conversation
Hooks silently keep running old releases for months since nothing flags a newer pre-commit-terraform tag exists. Adds a rate-limited (weekly), non-blocking check: hooks self-introspect their own pinned git rev and compare against the latest upstream tag via one git ls-remote call - no config-file parsing needed, works identically under prek. Skippable via CI or PCT_SKIP_UPDATE_CHECK=true. Never fails the hook on network error. Assisted-by: Sisyphus:claude-sonnet-5 opencode

- Split `.last_update_check` into `_time`/`_tags` cache files so a failed network attempt can leave cached tags untouched without read-modify-write. - Extracted `_check_new_version_on_failure` out of `_common.sh` into its own file (dropping the `common::` prefix), sourced from `common::initialize`. - Renamed `$remote_output` to `$known_tags`. - Allow long test names via `.flake8` (WPS118) instead of renaming.

`git rev-parse HEAD` ran in the process's CWD, which pre-commit sets to the linted project - never this hook's own checkout. The pinned rev comparison was always wrong: current_sha never matched the tag list, so a failing hook always nagged "non-release commit" whatever the actual pin was. Resolve HEAD via `-C "$hooks_dir"` instead. Also guard the `timeout` dependency - absent on stock macOS - so a missing binary doesn't get misreported as a network failure. Addresses CodeRabbit review comments on PR #1019. Assisted-by: Sisyphus:claude-sonnet-5 opencode
`timeout` isn't on stock macOS; hard-requiring it in both test files' sandbox PATH would break the whole suite there, even for tests that never invoke it. Moved to optional in both. `test_real_network_sanity_check` asserted `.last_update_check_tags` unconditionally, but the failure path only ever writes the timestamp - flaky whenever GitHub is briefly unreachable. Branch on the failure messages instead, and validate the tag file's content on the success path per the test's own docstring promise. Addresses Copilot review comments on PR #1019.

`timeout` isn't on stock macOS, so absence of the binary meant the 3s bound was silently dropped, leaving a stalled DNS/network request able to hang the failed hook indefinitely. Replace it with a portable watchdog: run the query in the background, race it against a `sleep 3` that kills it if it overruns. Only needs bash + kill/sleep/ mktemp, already assumed available everywhere else in this file. Also mark the real-network test's success-branch `# pragma: no cover` - whether GitHub answers within 3s during a given test run is inherently non-deterministic, so gating the coverage threshold on it isn't viable.

Let's drop Ubuntu 18.04 support (remove from installation instructions), shall we?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Welp, the GIT CLI isn't limited to official Ubuntu repos. There are plenty of ways to have the modern versions installed:
> fgrep UBUNTU_CODENAME /etc/os-release && git version
UBUNTU_CODENAME=bionic
git version 2.55.0So we're better off declaring requirement for GIT CLI version rather than an OS version and move on.
At least as long as we keep supporting Bash from era of dinosaurs for macOS, you know 🤪
IMHO obviously 👍
I'd suggest to check GIT CLI version and throw a non-intrusive warning if it's too old and ignore this specific feature altogether if the GIT CLI version is a way too old (the feature which is the scope of this PR I mean) and let people keep using pre-commit-terraform unless pre-commit-terraform as such requires some OS-specific features like newer libc version. At least, apologies that I repeat myself, as long as we do support Bash v3 just because of macOS shipping it in base while there are options to upgrade easily using e.g. Homebrew (which Linux users also can use along with alternatively adding GH CLI repo or installing from pre-built package or else).

My point is that GIT CLI is not part of Ubuntu. Require the minimum version of GIT CLI rather than minimum version of OS (same for any other supporting tool) unless we depend on OS-specific features like e.g. version of glibc or similar.
Or otherwise recommend the minimal version of Ubuntu as of official repos holding older version of GIT CLI and suggest installing newer version of GIT CLI using alternative methods (like those few that I mentioned in my previous comment) to allow for this auxiliary feature which does not affect core pre-commit-terraform functionality. IMHO.

ok ok, will strip Ubuntu 18.04 installation instructions in 2028 then
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Go ahead and strip it right away. The thing is that requiring minimum version of OS because its base repo ships older aux tool version sounds odd while the OS is not limited to newer versions installed by other supported means and the core functionality of pre-commit-terraform does not depend on OS version (to an obvious extent like a way too old OS which the newer tool cannot run on).
Just don't list OS requirements unless OS version is a requirement for core pre-commit-terraform functionality.
Along with that my strong opinion is that auxiliary optional non-core notification feature should not mandate minimum tool version requirements in general. If it can't do its auxiliary function, it should just spit out a non-intrusive warning and skip running its function altogether.
Once we require a version of GIT CLI (or any other tool) that cannot run on specific OS versions, then I see a good reason to list such OS version(s) as explicitly unsupported. And this relates not just to Ubuntu.
ps: I'm not saying "support Ubuntu 18 no matter what". I'm saying it's not about the OS version specifically.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Also a random thought aloud: would it make sense to look into getting necessary data like remote latest tag using e.g. cURL or similar non-GIT-CLI tool to break the dependency on minimal GIT CLI version? 🤔
Please disregard if such approach would appear much more complex than using GIT CLI 👍🏻

`git ls-remote --tags --refs` drops the peeled `^{}` record for
annotated tags, leaving only the tag *object* OID against the bare
ref - never a commit OID. Verified against the real upstream repo:
`v1.50.0` is annotated there, and its tag-object OID differs from the
commit it actually points to. Every annotated-tag pin was therefore
reported as a non-release commit, forever. Drop `--refs`, collapse
each peeled/object pair to one commit-sha-per-tag line before caching.
Also: the fast-path guard required a tag cache to exist even when
only checking timestamp freshness, so a persistently failing network
re-queried on every single invocation instead of respecting the
7-day throttle. Decouple "is it time to retry" from "do we have tag
data" - rate-limited with nothing cached now stays silent rather
than re-querying or nagging off no data.

Sorry, something went wrong.
No file locking (design.md) means a torn/partial write can leave `.last_update_check_time` holding garbage instead of a plain integer. Verified empirically: feeding that into bash arithmetic doesn't crash the process, but it does make the function return early, silently and permanently, since the failing statement sits before the cache ever gets rewritten - the check never recovers on its own. Validate as `[0-9]+` before arithmetic, so a corrupt cache is treated as absent (triggers a real attempt, which fixes the cache going forward) instead of wedging the check forever. Also reject negative age (a bogus future-dated timestamp), which previously satisfied "< 7 days" and got treated as fresh indefinitely. Addresses a Copilot review comment on PR #1019. Assisted-by: Sisyphus:claude-sonnet-5 opencode
`git ls-remote https://...` spawns a separate remote-helper process (`git remote-https`) to do the actual network I/O - confirmed against a real invocation with a clean git config. The watchdog only killed `git_pid`; the helper could survive `SIGKILL` and keep running after the hook returned. Considered `setsid` (not on macOS) and bash job-control process groups (`set -m` hung indefinitely in non-interactive testing - unsafe in a hook that always runs non-interactively). Settled on walking `pgrep -P` recursively and killing children before parent, using only tools already portable to macOS. Dispatcher stub now forks a real child on a hang, mimicking git's actual process shape, so `test_watchdog_kills_remote_helper_child_too` can assert the child dies too via `os.kill(pid, 0)`.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Poll until the helper PID is reaped.
_pct_kill_process_tree kills the helper and its parent without waiting for the helper. The helper can remain observable to os.kill(helper_pid, 0) after 0.2 seconds, causing intermittent failures on supported non-Windows runners. Use a longer bounded deadline, such as _WATCHDOG_BOUND_SECONDS; polling with the current 0.2-second deadline preserves the race.
Proposed fix

-# before a liveness check (`os.kill(pid, 0)`) is expected to be honest.

Why the check and the notification only on failure? I perhaps missed this bit when this idea was brought up in the chat, though I was under impression that it's about notifying users that newer version exists in general. Honestly I can't see a reason behind presenting notification only when a random hook fails. Especially bounded to a periodical invocation 🤔 In such a case, I'd say that throwing "please check for a newer version which might have this internal hook failure already resolved" unconditionally would be more than sufficient and would eliminate a 200 lines of code with a complex logic 🤔
Also is this intentional to name the linked test Py file differently so its vaguely similar but does not follow the same naming pattern?

Why the _pct suffix all of a sudden? I can't see its value unless we employ some third-party lib(s) and don't want any possible overlap. Also adding this suffix to only one single function looks odd.
Similarly I see no good reason for this prefix in tests/pytest/tool_version_test.py file. it's one out of 28 functions with this prefix there which — again — looks odd because it's one vs many.
My point is "it's none or all of them" please. Following consistent naming convention isn't mere verbiage in our IT domain I guess.
ps: similarly the underscore in the beginning of function names in this file — why is it? It's not anywhere else. And we already have sort of convention based on _common.sh and it looks a way neater I reckon. So if you think it's worth adding some common prefix to such helper functions, let's prepend e.g. aux:: string or similar.

Would it make sense to check whether pid is not empty and is numeric and either skip silently if it's not or throw error or warning? 🤔
And maybe secure against threats or accidents where the pid value would appear to be 0, 1 or 2 (what are other important system pids?). Maybe even disallow pids lower than e.g. 100 or 1000 🤔

The 3s timeout looks to me a bit short as it requires more or less good and stable networking. Would it make sense to bump it to at least 5s to cover systems with less reliable network though which still may benefit from this version check? 🤔
