Summary

Critical security fixes and feature additions for the Fleet Mechanic:

πŸ”΄ Critical Security Fixes

  1. Shell injection in _api() β€” Replaced curl+shell=True with urllib.request
  2. Shell injection in push_changes() β€” Changed git commands to list form (shell=False)

🟠 Bug Fixes

  1. Removed 20-repo hard cap in fleet_scan() β€” now scans all repos
  2. Default branch detection in create_pr() β€” queries GitHub API
  3. Token file error handling in boot.py and scan_fleet.py

New Features

  1. Node.js CI template β€” npm ci + npm test, matrix Node 18/20
  2. C CI template β€” build-essential + make all + make test
  3. src/init.py for test discovery

Test Results: 83 tests β€” ALL PASSING (58 β†’ 83)

README Updated: test count 35 β†’ 83

πŸ”΄ Missing timeout in _api causes potential indefinite hang (regression from old curl-based implementation)

The old _api implementation used self._run(cmd) which delegates to subprocess.run(..., timeout=60), giving every API call a 60-second timeout. The new urllib-based _api calls urllib.request.urlopen(req) without a timeout parameter (src/mechanic.py:155). Python's urlopen defaults to socket.getdefaulttimeout() which is typically None (no timeout). This means any API call β€” during fleet scans, PR creation, health checks, etc. β€” can hang indefinitely if the GitHub API is slow or unreachable, blocking the entire autonomous mechanic.

Security Fixes:
- Replace curl shell injection in _api() with urllib.request
- Use subprocess list args in push_changes() to prevent shell injection
- Add _get_default_branch() so create_pr() detects repo default branch

Reliability Fixes:
- Remove 20-repo hard cap in fleet_scan()
- Add FileNotFoundError/PermissionError handling for token file in boot.py/scan_fleet.py
- Add __init__.py in src/ for test discovery
- Add __init__.py in tests/ for proper pytest discovery

New CI Templates:
- Add Node.js CI template (npm ci + npm test, matrix for Node 18/20)
- Add C CI template (gcc + make build and test)

New Tests (25 added):
- test_api_uses_urllib: verify no curl in _api source
- test_push_changes_no_shell_injection: verify shell=False usage
- test_run_with_list_args: verify list-arg subprocess mode
- test_fleet_scan_no_cap: verify no [:20] slicing
- test_default_branch_detection: test fallback to main
- test_run_error_handling: test nonzero exit codes
- test_mechanic_init: test constructor defaults
- test_task_type_enum: test all TaskType values
- test_task_result_enum: test all TaskResult values
- test_health_score_all_fields: test score calculation
- test_health_markdown_all_checks: test markdown output
- test_gitignore_node: test node gitignore template
- test_detect_language_all: test all language markers
- test_clone_repo_fake: test clone failure handling
- test_run_tests_no_framework: test no-framework detection
- test_execute_repo_health_fake: test health with bad repo
- test_create_issue_with_labels: test labels parameter
- test_completed_tasks_tracking: test initial state
- test_gen_ci_c: test C CI template
- test_gen_ci_python: test Python CI template
- test_gen_ci_rust: test Rust CI template
- test_gen_ci_go: test Go CI template
- test_gen_ci_node (updated): now expects Node.js CI template
- test_full_health_to_markdown_pipeline: integration test
- test_task_lifecycle: integration test
- test_mechanic_scan_with_mock_repos: integration test

All 83 tests passing (58 original + 25 new).
README updated: 35 β†’ 83 tests.

πŸ”΄ NameError in _run timeout handler: removed timeout parameter still referenced in f-string

The _run method signature was changed to remove the timeout parameter (previously timeout: int = 60), and the timeout is now hardcoded to 60 at src/mechanic.py:155. However, the TimeoutExpired exception handler at src/mechanic.py:159 still references the now-undefined timeout variable in its f-string: f"TIMEOUT after {timeout}s: {str(e)}". When any command exceeds the 60-second timeout, this handler will raise an unhandled NameError instead of gracefully returning the (-1, "TIMEOUT ...") tuple. This breaks timeout handling for all callers of _run, including clone_repo, _run_rust_tests, _run_python_tests, and _run_go_tests.

Prompt for agents
The _run method at src/mechanic.py:143 had its timeout parameter removed and the value hardcoded to 60 at line 155. However, the TimeoutExpired exception handler at line 159 still references the now-undefined timeout variable in its f-string. This will raise a NameError when any subprocess times out.

Fix: Update line 159 to replace the timeout variable reference with the hardcoded value 60, e.g.:
  return -1, f"TIMEOUT after 60s: {str(e)}"

Alternatively, consider re-adding timeout as a parameter to _run so callers like clone_repo (line 211, passes timeout=120) and the test runner methods (lines 313, 327, 338, each passing timeout=180) can specify custom timeouts. Currently those callers pass timeout= as a keyword argument but _run no longer accepts it, which would also cause failures at those call sites.
