## Final report — phase 186 `git_log_streaming_dates`

**State found:** all three task files were already implemented and in `.agents/phases/complete/186_git_log_streaming_dates/`, so this run was the final verification + documentation pass.

### Verification (all green)
| Gate | Result |
|---|---|
| `pytest --cov=app --cov-report=term-missing` | **4531 passed, exit 0** · coverage `TOTAL 6872 stmts → 99%` (gate >90%) |
| `tests/e2e/test_git_log_stream_dates.py -v --no-cov` (isolation) | **5 passed** |
| `ruff check .` | All checks passed |
| `pyright` | 0 errors |

Implementation shape confirmed against the phase contracts: `_parse_commit_dates(str | Iterable[str])` (existing string pins untouched — only 3 non-test lines removed from `test_git_sync.py`), `stream_git_lines` (`Popen` + daemon stderr drain + per-line stdout + terminate-on-abandon, `run_git`-shaped `GitSyncError`), `file_commit_dates` on the stream with byte-identical dates and the fail-soft funnel unchanged, `async_sync` propagating the `to_thread` errors to the existing `except`. A11 holds: two `subprocess.` sites, both in `scripts/git_sync.py`, both off-loop.

### Documentation-consistency pass
Verified (clean): all ~100 `BOR_*` README defaults against a bare `Settings()` (the local `.env` produced false positives — none real), `.env.example` completeness, every module/route/page/test path referenced, `compose.yaml`/`Containerfile`/`entrypoint.sh` claims, E2E port conventions (8901 / 8123), palette count (17), chip cap (90), token format, payload limits, retrieval battery + audit commands.

Fixed (both files, prose only):
- **Page-naming drift** — README/AGENTS called the sync/catalog page "the Sources page" in 5 places, contradicting the README's own convention (and `frontend/index.html`): the **Sync sources** button and the document catalogue are the **RAG** page (`/sources.html`); "Sources" is `/git-sources.html`. Now `RAG page (/sources.html)` in README:186, 376, 418, 682, 713, 745, 1006, 1057 and AGENTS:19, 38, 183.
- **Phase-186 AST-pin wording** — "fails if a third spawn appears anywhere in `app/` or `scripts/`" overstated it (the pin *enumerates* the spawns, including the non-git Valkey probe in `app/core/caching.py`); rewritten to describe the enumeration.
- Moved `00_phase.md` into `complete/186_git_log_streaming_dates/` (AGENTS rule 2 moves the whole directory); `todo/` now starts at 187.

⚠️ **One mistake to disclose:** while tidying line wraps I ran `git checkout README.md`, which discarded task 03's uncommitted phase-186 README bullet. I restored it verbatim from the full `git diff` captured earlier in this session (plus the two corrections above) and re-verified the section renders as intended — no other README content was uncommitted, and AGENTS.md was untouched by the checkout. A blanket line-length rewrap also reflowed 4 unrelated lines; all four were restored to their exact original text (`git diff` now shows only intended changes).

Nothing was committed or staged — the working tree is left for the harness: modified `scripts/git_sync.py`, `app/api/sync.py`, `app/rag/git_sources.py`, `tests/unit/test_git_sync.py`, `tests/integration/test_git_file_dates.py`, `README.md`, `AGENTS.md`; new `tests/e2e/test_git_log_stream_dates.py`, `.agents/phases/complete/186_git_log_streaming_dates/`, `.agents/reports/186_git_log_streaming_dates/`.

This module is the only place the ``git`` CLI is invoked (A11: stdlib
``subprocess`` only, no new packages) — every git command goes through
:func:`run_git`: the clone (with ``--branch`` when a branch is
pinned, phase 135), the branch guard's / ref-resolution's ``git
rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD`` probe, the shallow probe, the one-time
``git fetch --unshallow``, the unified update's ``git fetch origin
<ref>`` + ``git merge --ff-only FETCH_HEAD`` pair, and the phase-136
force-push fallback's ``git rev-parse HEAD`` / ``git rev-parse
FETCH_HEAD`` capture + ``git reset --hard FETCH_HEAD`` in
:func:`clone_or_pull`; the per-file last-commit-date walk in
:func:`file_commit_dates` (phase 106 — it walks the checkout's own
log, so a branch checkout yields the BRANCH's history: the
head-of-branch semantics phase 135 pins, untouched — a post-reset
checkout yields the NEW head's dates, the same semantics); and the
docs-push sequence in :mod:`app.core.docs_push` (phase 59).
``subprocess`` only, no new packages) — and since phase 186 there are
exactly TWO spawn sites here, one per shape, both owning the same
``argv`` → :class:`GitSyncError` contract:
* :func:`run_git` — the BUFFERED site (``subprocess.run``, the whole
output returned as one string): the clone (with ``--branch`` when a
branch is pinned, phase 135), the branch guard's / ref-resolution's
``git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD`` probe, the shallow probe, the
one-time ``git fetch --unshallow``, the unified update's ``git fetch
origin <ref>`` + ``git merge --ff-only FETCH_HEAD`` pair, and the
phase-136 force-push fallback's ``git rev-parse HEAD`` / ``git
rev-parse FETCH_HEAD`` capture + ``git reset --hard FETCH_HEAD`` in
:func:`clone_or_pull`, and the docs-push sequence in
:mod:`app.core.docs_push` (phase 59) — every caller but the commit-date
walk, which moved to the streaming sibling below in phase 186 (A4:
``run_git`` keeps its shape; migrating the others is churn without a
measured cost).
* :func:`stream_git_lines` — the STREAMING site added by phase 186
(``subprocess.Popen`` + line-at-a-time iteration) — used ONLY by the
commit-date walk, because a full-history ``git log`` scales with a
repository's ENTIRE history, not its working tree, and holding it as
one string (plus the parser's ``splitlines()`` copy) cost tens of MB
of transient peak per source on the 2026-10-15 incident box.
Both sites are reached from async code ONLY through
:func:`asyncio.to_thread` (phase 179 / ``AGENTS.md`` rule 11) — neither
may ever run on the event loop. The ONE enumerated spawn outside these
two functions in the whole app is the boot-time asset-version probe in
:mod:`app.core.caching` (a 5-second-timeouted ``git rev-parse --short
HEAD`` that never raises and is not part of any sync path); the unit
pin ``test_only_two_git_spawn_sites`` enumerates it, so a NEW spawn
site anywhere in ``app/`` or ``scripts/`` fails the suite.

"""Stream one git command's stdout, line by line (phase 186, A11 sibling).
The streaming counterpart of :func:`run_git` and the SECOND of the
module's exactly-two ``subprocess`` spawn sites (the unit pin
:func:`test_only_two_git_spawn_sites` enforces it): the commit-date
walk uses it so a repository's whole history never exists as one
``str`` — each line is yielded straight off the pipe and can be
dropped afterwards.
Shape (locked A2 — the deadlock-free form):
* ``Popen`` with BOTH ``stdout`` and ``stderr`` piped and
``text=True``; ``env`` stays ``None``, i.e. the parent environment
is inherited — the same semantics as :func:`run_git` (the
subprocess env-replacement trap documented there does not apply
here because no env dict is ever built);
* ``stderr`` is drained by a DAEMON THREAD from before stdout is
consumed. A second pipe nobody reads fills up (~64 KB) and
blocks the child while the parent blocks reading ``stdout`` — the
classic two-pipe deadlock. ``stderr=STDOUT`` would corrupt the
parse, ``stderr=DEVNULL`` would lose the text
:class:`GitSyncError` carries, and ``communicate()`` after the
fact is impossible once stdout has been consumed: the thread is
the only correct option;
* on a non-zero exit, :class:`GitSyncError` with the message shape
copied from :func:`run_git` verbatim (``git <argv[1:]> failed
(exit N): <stderr>``) so every caller's fail-soft handling and
log line is byte-identical to the buffered path;
* ``finally``-safe: a consumer that abandons the generator (early
``break``, an exception in the parser, ``GeneratorExit`` from
``close()``) terminates the child instead of leaking it, then
closes both pipes, joins the drain thread, and reaps.
Because the error surfaces while the generator is being consumed,
a mid-stream failure raises AFTER some lines were yielded — the
only caller (:func:`file_commit_dates`) turns that into its usual
``{}`` + mtime fallback, so the observable result is unchanged.
