"""Git source sync for import_docs (phase 28).

clone_or_pull(url, dest, branch=None) clones ``url`` into ``dest`` with
FULL history the first time — ``git clone --branch <b>`` when a branch
is pinned (phase 135: the source's branch is checked out from the
first commit), plain ``git clone`` when not — or, for an existing
checkout, brings it to the head of the tracked ref with the UNIFIED
ff-or-reset sequence (phase 136 — it replaces both the legacy
``git pull --ff-only`` and phase 135's fetch + ff-merge pair): the
phase-135 HEAD guard first when a branch is pinned (a checkout on any
other branch fails loudly — the source must be removed and re-added
to switch), the tracked ref — the pinned branch, or the checkout's
own branch when ``branch=None`` (a detached HEAD fails loudly, D12) —
unshallows a shallow one first (``git fetch --unshallow``, the
one-time self-heal), ``git fetch origin <ref>`` (a fetch FAILURE
still fails loudly), and ``git merge --ff-only FETCH_HEAD`` — when
the fast-forward is impossible (a force push / any divergent remote
head) the checkout is ``git reset --hard FETCH_HEAD`` to the ref's
head with ONE loud WARNING line and the function returns normally
(a force push is a logged, self-healing event, NEVER a failed sync —
the checkout is a cache of the remote head; the legacy ``git pull
--ff-only`` is deliberately gone from ``branch=None``: every row
gets the ff-or-reset update).

Auth: nothing special — an ``https://…`` URL uses the OS credential
helper / prompts; a ``git@host:repo.git`` URL uses the machine's SSH key.
No credentials are stored here; whatever the URL/SSH config supplies is
used.

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).

Per-file last-commit dates (phase 106 D2; phase 107 D11 supersedes
phase 106 D10) — behavior verified against scratch and live repos
2026-09-13 / 2026-09-16:

* every :func:`clone_or_pull` checkout is FULL history for EVERY
  transport (https/ssh/``file://``/local-path): a fresh clone carries
  no ``--depth`` (D11 — D10's ``--depth 1`` shallow URL clones are
gone; ``--branch`` clones, phase 135, included), and an existing
  shallow checkout (made pre-phase 107 — i.e. every deployed one,
  live + dev included) is probed with ``git
  rev-parse --is-shallow-repository`` and, while shallow, self-healed
  with the ONE-TIME ``git fetch --unshallow`` before the unified
  update's ``git fetch origin <ref>`` + ``git merge --ff-only
  FETCH_HEAD`` (+ the phase-136 ``git reset --hard FETCH_HEAD``
  fallback on a non-ff merge) — no re-clone;
* D11/D12, extended by phase 136 (the force-push contract): a
  non-ff merge resets to the ref's head instead of failing — the
  checkout is a cache of the remote head, and "always the head of
  the branch" is the invariant ``clone_or_pull`` enforces. A force
  push (or any divergent remote head) is a LOGGED, SELF-HEALING
  event — one WARNING line, then the run continues — never a failed
  sync; everything else still fails loud per D12 (a fetch failure,
  a broken probe/unshallow, a detached HEAD, a branch mismatch);
* on a full-history checkout :func:`file_commit_dates` yields the
  TRUE per-file last-commit date for ALL git sources. The old
  shallow-clone behavior was the bug the owner reported 2026-09-16:
  in a shallow clone git reports the TIP commit as every existing
  file's last commit (the shallow boundary is each file's history
  root) → a uniform per-repo tip date (``container_bifrost`` shown as
  created on the repo tip, months off); after ``git fetch
  --unshallow`` on the live homelab checkout (438 commits visible)
  the walk returned the true dates — e.g. ``bifrost.md`` 2026-05-05,
  not the 2026-09-07 tip.

    existing checkout to the tracked ref's head (ff-or-reset, phase 136).

    - dest without a ``.git`` (or absent) → ``git clone url dest`` (full
      history for every transport — phase 107 D11: no ``--depth``, so a
      URL-transport checkout carries the whole commit log, not just the
      tip); with a pinned ``branch`` → ``git clone --branch <b> url

      first commit — no post-clone checkout; ``branch=None`` keeps the
      two-argument argv byte-identical).
    - dest with a ``.git`` (ANY ``branch``) → the UNIFIED update
      sequence (phase 136 — it replaces both the legacy
      ``git pull --ff-only`` and phase 135's fetch + ff-merge pair), in
      order:
      1. the tracked REF: a pinned ``branch`` keeps the HEAD GUARD
         (phase 135, UNCHANGED and first — ``git rev-parse
         --abbrev-ref HEAD``; a checkout sitting on any other branch
         raises the remove-and-re-add :class:`GitSyncError`, naming
         the checkout and BOTH branch names — never the URL, so no
         credential exposure — BEFORE any update; no silent branch
         switch, since the checkout may serve other rows' documents)
         and ``ref = branch``; ``branch=None`` resolves the checkout's
         OWN branch (the pre-phase default-branch behavior) — and a
         DETACHED checkout (the result ``"HEAD"``) raises the
         remove-and-re-add :class:`GitSyncError` naming the checkout
         (D12 fail-loud: the app never CREATES a detached checkout —
         a fresh clone always lands on a branch — so this is a
         genuinely broken checkout, not a force-push case).
      2. the shallow probe + one-time ``git fetch --unshallow``
         self-heal (UNCHANGED — phase 107 D11).
      3. ``git fetch origin <ref>`` — a fetch FAILURE (network/auth,
         the branch gone from the remote, git missing) STILL raises
         :class:`GitSyncError` (a loud failure — a force push is NOT a
         fetch failure; the reset is scoped to the merge step only).
      4. try ``git merge --ff-only FETCH_HEAD``.
      5. ON MERGE FAILURE — the reset fallback (phase 136): capture
         ``git rev-parse HEAD`` (old) and ``git rev-parse FETCH_HEAD``
         (new), run ``git reset --hard FETCH_HEAD``, log ONE WARNING
         line (PLAN §9: ``git sync: divergent remote head on <dest>
         (force push) — reset <old[:7]> → <new[:7]> to
         origin/<ref>`` — the checkout PATH, never the URL,
         credential-safety) carrying the merge's stderr for
         diagnosability, and RETURN the dest normally (the sync
         proceeds — a force push is a logged, self-healing event,
         NEVER a failed sync; the merge's stderr rides the log only —
         there is no user-facing error). The checkout is a CACHE of
         the remote head (the app owns it; the KB is rebuilt from it
         on the same run), so "always the head of the branch" is the
         invariant this sequence enforces.

    Returns the destination path. Raises :class:`GitSyncError` when git is
    missing or a git invocation exits non-zero (with git's stderr in the
    message, so the caller can name the failing repo + reason) — EXCEPT
    the non-ff merge, which takes the reset fallback of step 5 instead
    of failing (phase 136). D12 fail-loud still governs everything the
    reset does not cover: a failed probe/unshallow/fetch propagates
    exactly like a clone failure — never a silent fallback to tip
    dates or mtimes (a continued shallow checkout would silently
    re-serve the uniform tip date, i.e. the bug D11 fixes) and never a
    silent branch switch (phase 135 — the fail-loud guard, step 1).
