The init-nix.sh script previously hardcoded /usr/bin/bash as the login shell
for the 'nix' user, which exists on Arch but not on Debian. This caused the
Nix single-user installer (run via `su - nix`) to fail silently or break in
unpredictable ways on Debian-based images.
We now resolve the shell dynamically via `command -v bash` and fall back to
/bin/sh on minimal systems. This makes Nix installation deterministic across
Arch, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS and CI containers.

- Introduce explicit CLI layer model (os-packages, nix, python, makefile)
and central InstallationPipeline to orchestrate installers.
- Move installer orchestration out of install_repos() into
pkgmgr.actions.repository.install.pipeline, using layer precedence and
capability tracking.

PKGMGR_PIP override → active venv → per-repo venv under ~/.venvs/<identifier>,
avoiding system Python and PEP 668 conflicts.
- Adjust NixFlakeInstaller to install flake outputs based on repository
identity: pkgmgr/package-manager → pkgmgr (mandatory) + default (optional),
all other repos → default (mandatory).
- Tighten MakefileInstaller behaviour, add global
PKGMGR_DISABLE_MAKEFILE_INSTALLER switch, and simplify install target
detection.
- Rewrite resolve_command_for_repo() with explicit Repository typing,
better Python package detection, Nix/PATH resolution, and a
library-only fallback instead of raising on missing CLI.

This update introduces Variant B behavior in the command resolver:
- If a repository explicitly defines the key \"command\" (even if its value is None),
resolve_command_for_repo() treats it as authoritative and returns immediately.
This allows library-only repositories to declare:
command: null
which disables CLI resolution entirely.
- As a result, Python package repositories without installed CLI entry points
no longer trigger SystemExit during update/install flows, as long as they set
command: null in their repo configuration.
The resolution logic is now bypassed for such repositories, skipping:
- Python package detection (src/*/__main__.py)
- PATH/Nix/venv binary lookup
- main.sh/main.py fallback evaluation
A new unit test suite has been added under
tests/unit/pkgmgr/core/command/test_resolve.py
covering:
1) Python package without installed command → SystemExit
2) Python package with installed command → returned correctly
3) Script repository fallback to main.py
4) Explicit command overrides all logic
This commit stabilizes update/install flows and ensures library-only
repositories behave as intended when no CLI command is provided.

The pkgmgr proxy layer may intentionally terminate the process via
SystemExit(0). The previous test logic interpreted any SystemExit as a failure,
causing false negatives during `pkgmgr clone --all` E2E runs.
This patch updates `test_clone_all.py` to:
- accept SystemExit(0) as a successful run,
- only fail on non-zero exit codes,
- preserve diagnostic output for real failures.
This stabilizes the clone-all E2E test across proxy-triggered exits.

- Use _resolve_repository_path() for explore, terminal and code commands
so tools no longer rely on a 'directory' key in the repository dict.
- Fall back to repositories_base_dir/repositories_dir via get_repo_dir()
when no explicit path-like key is present.
- Make VS Code workspace creation more robust (safe default for
directories.workspaces and UTF-8 when writing JSON).
- Add unit tests for handle_tools_command (explore, terminal, code) under
tests/unit/pkgmgr/cli/commands/test_tools.py.
- Add E2E/integration-style tests for the tools subcommands' --help
output under tests/e2e/test_tools_help.py, treating SystemExit(0) as
success.
This change fixes the KeyError: 'directory' when running 'pkgmgr code'
and verifies the behavior via unit and integration tests.

This commit introduces two new end-to-end integration tests:
• tests/e2e/test_clone_all.py
Runs: pkgmgr clone --all --clone-mode https --no-verification
Verifies that full HTTPS cloning of all configured repositories
works inside the test container environment.
• tests/e2e/test_update_all.py
Runs: pkgmgr update --all --clone-mode https --no-verification
Ensures that updating all repositories with HTTPS mode completes
successfully without raising exceptions.
Both tests:
- Provide extended diagnostics on SystemExit
- Reuse nix-profile cleanup helpers for consistent test environments
- Validate that `pkgmgr --help` works after execution
These tests complement the existing shallow-install integration test
and improve overall reliability of HTTPS clone/update workflows.
This commit adds a safety guard to create_ink() to prevent creation of
self-referential symlinks when the resolved command already lives at the
intended link target (e.g. ~/.local/bin/package-manager). Such a situation
previously resulted in broken shells with the error:
"zsh: too many levels of symbolic links"
Key changes:
- create_ink():
• Introduce early-abort guard when command == link_path
• Improve function signature and formatting
• Enhance alias creation messaging
- Added comprehensive unit tests under:
tests/unit/pkgmgr/core/command/test_ink.py
Tests cover:
• Self-referential command path → skip symlink creation
• Standard symlink + alias creation behaviour
This prevents pkgmgr from overwriting user-managed binaries inside ~/.local/bin
and ensures predictable, safe behaviour across all installer layers.

Update Debian, RPM, Nix flake, and Python installer unit tests to match the current
installer behavior and to run correctly inside the Nix development shell.
- DebianControlInstaller:
- Add clearer docstrings for supports() behavior.
- Relax final install assertion to accept dpkg -i, sudo dpkg -i, or
sudo apt-get install -y.
- Keep checks for apt-get update, apt-get build-dep, and dpkg-buildpackage.
- RpmSpecInstaller:
- Add docstrings for supports() conditions.
- Mock _prepare_source_tarball() to avoid touching the filesystem.
- Assert builddep, rpmbuild -ba, and sudo dnf install -y commands.
- NixFlakeInstaller:
- Ensure supports() and run() tests simulate a non-Nix-shell environment
via IN_NIX_SHELL and PKGMGR_DISABLE_NIX_FLAKE_INSTALLER.
- Verify that the old profile entry is removed and both pkgmgr and default
flake outputs are installed.
- Confirm _ensure_old_profile_removed() swallows SystemExit.
- PythonInstaller:
- Make supports() and run() tests ignore the real IN_NIX_SHELL environment.
- Assert that pip install . is invoked with cwd set to the repository
directory.
These changes make the unit tests stable in the Nix dev shell and align them
with the current installer implementations.
This commit adds the `pkgmgr_nix_store` volume mount (`/nix`) to all test
runners (unit, integration, container sanity checks, and E2E tests).
Previously only the Arch-based E2E container mounted a persistent `/nix`
store, causing all other distros (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS, etc.)
to download the entire Nix closure repeatedly during test runs.
Changes:
- Add `-v pkgmgr_nix_store:/nix` to:
- scripts/test/test-container.sh
- scripts/test/test-e2e.sh (remove Arch-only condition)
- scripts/test/test-unit.sh
- scripts/test/test-integration.sh
- Ensures all test containers reuse the same Nix store.
Benefits:
- Significantly faster test execution after the first run.
- Prevents redundant downloads from cache.nixos.org.
- Ensures consistent Nix environments across all test distros.
No functional changes to pkgmgr itself; only test infrastructure improved.

- Update pkgmgr.actions.branch.open_branch() to resolve the base branch
via _resolve_base_branch(), preferring 'main' and falling back to
'master' when the preferred branch does not exist.
- Adjust the open_branch logic to:
- fetch from origin
- checkout the resolved base branch
- pull the resolved base branch
- create the feature branch
- push the new branch with upstream tracking
- Add and refine unit tests in tests/unit/pkgmgr/actions/test_branch.py
to cover:
- normal branch creation with explicit name and default base
- interactive name prompting when no name is provided
- error handling when fetch fails after successful base resolution
- fallback to 'master' when 'main' is missing.
- Clean up and clarify docstrings and comments for open_branch(),
close_branch(), and _resolve_base_branch(), and fix the module header
comment to match the new package path.
This fixes branch opening in repositories that still use 'master' as
their primary branch while keeping the default behavior for 'main'.

This update introduces a configurable TEST_PATTERN variable in the Makefile,
allowing selective execution of unit, integration, and E2E tests without
modifying scripts.
Key changes:
- Add TEST_PATTERN (default: test_*.py) to Makefile and export it.
- Inject TEST_PATTERN into all test containers via `-e TEST_PATTERN=...`.
- Update test-unit.sh, test-integration.sh, and test-e2e.sh to use
`-p "$TEST_PATTERN"` instead of a hardcoded pattern.
- Ensure flexible test selection via:
make test-e2e TEST_PATTERN=test_install_pkgmgr_shallow.py
This enables fast debugging, selective test runs, and better developer
experience while keeping full compatibility with CI defaults.
