Home hit this +installing into ratowsky. Verified: =install-ai.sh='s gitignore block and +=sweep-gitignore-tooling.sh='s =IGNORE_SET= both carry =.ai/=, =.claude/=, +=CLAUDE.md= and =AGENTS.md=, and nothing else. The workflows expect =todo.org= at +the project root, so any project running them grows one. + +Adding =todo.org= to both sets fixes the symptom. The gap underneath is bigger, +and it's the part worth designing: *a repo Craig doesn't own is a third mode the +installer doesn't model.* Both current modes assume the repo is his. Track mode +commits the tooling; gitignore mode appends the set to =.gitignore=, which in +someone else's repo commits his personal policy into their tracked file. That is +the same defect one layer up from the one reported, and it ships today for every +collaborator install that picks gitignore mode. + +The right mechanism there is =.git/info/exclude=, which is local, untracked, and +invisible to the repo's owner. Ratowsky already worked around it exactly that +way, for both =todo.org= and the rest of the personal layer, which is good +evidence the third mode is what the situation actually wants rather than a +generalization from one case. + +So the fix has two halves: add =todo.org= to the exclude set, and give +=install-ai.sh= a collaborator mode that writes the whole set to +=.git/info/exclude= instead of =.gitignore=. Worth checking on the way whether +=inbox/=, =working/= and =temp/= want the same treatment there — the installer +creates =inbox/= unconditionally in both modes. + +Grading: Minor severity (a personal task file surfaces in a colleague's +=git status=, and an accidental =git add= commits it; nothing breaks and nothing +is lost) × some users sometimes (collaborator-repo installs only) = P3 = =[#C]=. + +Not =:solo:= — the third mode needs a call on how the installer detects or is +told that a repo isn't Craig's, and that's a design decision rather than a +mechanical fix. + +Source: inbox/2026-08-05-1418-from-home-installer-gap-found-installing-ai-into.org + ** TODO [#C] install-lang ignores tooling a track-mode project tracks :bug:solo: :PROPERTIES: :LAST_REVIEWED: 2026-08-04 |
