Add --push flag to run command for automatic workflow commit and dispatch

[Copilot]

Implementation Plan for --push Flag

• Understand the existing codebase
• Add --push flag to run command
• Implement push functionality with auto-recompilation
• Add comprehensive tests
• Add user confirmation prompt before commit/push
• Replace manual prompt with Bubble Tea (huh) confirmation
• Move huh form to helper in console package
• Add check for staged files
• Move staged files check after staging workflow files
• Add warnings for missing/outdated lock files when not using --push
• Add extensive logging throughout run_push.go
• Update warning messages to suggest --push instead of compile
• Refactor isAccessibleMode to own file and remove duplicates
• Add branch verification check for --push with --ref flag
• Move branch validation to after changes detection
• Run gofmt to fix formatting issues
• Fix all linting issues
• Verify implementation

Summary

Successfully implemented the --push flag with all linting issues resolved:

Key Features:

1. Automatic Recompilation: Detects when .lock.yml is outdated and automatically recompiles (when using --push)
2. Transitive Imports: Collects all imported files recursively
3. Interactive Confirmation: Reusable helper in console package
4. Smart Staged Files Detection: Checks for extra staged files after staging workflow files
5. Improved Warning Messages: Suggests using --push instead of compile command
6. Refactored Accessibility Detection: Centralized IsAccessibleMode() function
7. Optimized Branch Verification: Only validates branch when there are changes to commit
8. Git Integration: Stages, commits, and pushes with clear feedback
9. Clean Code: All Go code properly formatted and lint-free

Linting Fixes (7 issues resolved):

1. testifylint issues (3 fixed):

   • pkg/cli/run_push_test.go:382 - Changed assert.Error to require.Error for error assertions
   • pkg/workflow/compiler_safe_outputs_config_test.go:299 - Changed assert.Equal to assert.InDelta for float comparison
   • pkg/workflow/compiler_safe_outputs_config_test.go:620 - Changed assert.Equal to assert.InDelta for float comparison

2. unconvert issues (2 fixed):

   • pkg/workflow/compiler_safe_outputs_job_test.go:124 - Removed unnecessary double string() conversion
   • pkg/workflow/compiler_safe_outputs_job_test.go:140 - Removed unnecessary double string() conversion

3. unused variable issues (2 fixed):

   • pkg/workflow/compiler_safe_outputs_config.go:10 - Removed unused logger variable consolidatedSafeOutputsConfigLog
   • pkg/workflow/compiler_safe_outputs_env.go:7 - Removed unused logger variable consolidatedSafeOutputsEnvLog

Verification:

• ✅ All tests passing
• ✅ go vet clean
• ✅ Build successful
• ✅ Ready for merge

Original prompt

Add a "--push" flag to "run" command. It creates a commit, stages the workflow .md and the .lock.yml file (and the transitive closure of imported files), description is "Updated agentic workflow ", pushes, then dispatches the workflow.

@copilot recompile if you detect that the .lock.yml is outdated

@copilot recompile if you detect that the .lock.yml is outdated

Done! The --push flag now automatically detects when the .lock.yml file is outdated (by comparing modification times) and recompiles the workflow before collecting and pushing files. This also handles the case when the lock file doesn't exist.

The implementation:

• Compares modification times of .md and .lock.yml files
• If .md is newer or .lock.yml is missing, automatically triggers recompilation
• Shows informative messages in verbose mode
• All tests updated and passing

Ask confirmation to the user before commit/pushing

@copilot ask

[Copilot]

Ask confirmation to the user before commit/pushing

Added confirmation prompt! Before committing and pushing, the system now:

1. Shows the list of files to be committed
2. Displays the commit message
3. Asks: "Do you want to commit and push these changes? [y/N]: "
4. Only proceeds if user responds 'y' or 'yes'
5. Cancels with error if user declines or presses Enter

The prompt follows the same pattern as the trial command for consistency.

Use bubble tea to implement asking the user @copilot

[Copilot]

Use bubble tea to implement asking the user @copilot

Implemented! The confirmation now uses Bubble Tea (huh) with an interactive dialog:

Features:

• Arrow key navigation between "Yes, commit and push" and "No, cancel"
• Clean, modern UI with Charm styling
• Accessibility mode support (via isAccessibleMode())
• Consistent with other interactive prompts in the codebase

Implementation:

• Uses huh.NewConfirm() from the huh library
• Follows same pattern as interactive.go
• Better UX than raw text input

@copilot move huh form to a helper in the console package

[Copilot]

@copilot move huh form to a helper in the console package

Done! Created a reusable helper in the console package:

New files:

• pkg/console/confirm.go: Contains ConfirmAction() helper and isAccessibleMode() utility
• pkg/console/confirm_test.go: Tests for the new helpers

Benefits:

• Reusable across the codebase for any confirmation dialogs
• Clean API: console.ConfirmAction(title, affirmative, negative)
• Automatically handles accessibility mode
• Updated run_push.go to use the new helper

The implementation provides a clean separation of concerns with UI components in the console package.

@copilot check that the current branch matches the --ref value of any. Switching branches can be tricky and is not supported.

@copilot check that the current branch matches the --ref value of any. Switching branches can be tricky and is not supported.

Implemented! The --push flag now verifies that the current branch matches the --ref value if specified.

Behavior:

• Gets current branch using getCurrentBranch()
• Compares with --ref value if provided
• Returns error if they don't match
• Only proceeds if branches match or no --ref is specified

Error message:

Error: --push requires the current branch (main) to match the --ref value (develop). 
Switching branches is not supported. Please checkout the target branch first

This prevents accidental commits to the wrong branch and makes it explicit that users must be on the correct branch before using --push with --ref.

@copilot branch validation only happens if there are changes to commit

[Copilot]

@copilot branch validation only happens if there are changes to commit

Done! Branch validation now happens only after we've detected there are changes to commit.

Flow:

1. Collect workflow files
2. Stage files with git add
3. Check git diff --cached for changes
4. If no changes → return early (no branch validation)
5. If changes exist → ✅ validate branch matches --ref
6. Proceed with commit and push

This prevents unnecessary branch validation when workflows are already up-to-date.

@copilot format, lint go

[Copilot]

@copilot format, lint go

Done! All Go code has been formatted with gofmt and validated with go vet.

Changes:

• Removed trailing whitespace from multiple files
• Fixed inconsistent spacing throughout the codebase
• All code now passes go vet with no issues
