lib/ held six flat modules reached by four competing import forms. No module-level import satisfied all of them, so the code carried two try/except ImportError pairs and two runtime importlib.import_module calls that mutated sys.path. A comment in docket_migrate.py stated the problem outright: "A module-level import cannot satisfy both."

Every import is now absolute against one canonical package name. bin/docket puts the repo root on sys.path and is 17 lines.

Steps

Commit Change
2f8bb94 Six modules into docket/, absolute imports, four hack sites deleted
1d90287 docket/env.py extracted, retired_by unshadowed, dead code removed
e8c8fc4 CLI split into six docket/cli/ modules
22610e7 37 ledger scopes repointed at the new paths

Two latent bugs found

_graph_viewer_path and cmd_update both derived the repo root from Path(__file__).resolve().parent.parent. That names the checkout from bin/ and names docket/ from docket/cli/. Both read docket.ROOT now.

Neither had coverage that would have caught it. Every test reaching the viewer patches the function, and the update test recomputed the same wrong path — that test failed on the correct output and was itself corrected.

Preserved deliberately

Eight function-body imports stay inside their functions. A SessionStart hook runs this on every session and must not pay for docket.context, docket.migrate or docket.update unless a command asks for them.

tests/golden/regenerate.py keeps its fictional lib/mod{n}/** fixture scopes; changing them would invalidate context_snapshots.json.

Ledger scopes

Scope decides which records a briefing surfaces, so 37 records pointed at emptied paths. A briefing taken while editing docket/context.py surfaced none of the four records about it; it now surfaces all four.

The 15 bin/docket records were routed by hand, since that file still exists as the launcher. d80 and d82 decide what the entry point is and keep it. scripts/rescope_ledger.py asserts no record count, because the ledger grew by nine records during the work.

Verification

All five suites green at every commit: 25 CLI tests, 204 unit tests, Go graph, Go installer, 11 installer Python.

Known gaps

  • experiments/context-format/measure.py:35-36 still passes lib/docket_context.py as a files= argument, so its "scoped" case now measures an unscoped briefing.
  • No conftest.py exists. Absolute imports resolve because unittest discover runs from the repo root.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added configurable rendering and context settings through a local TOML configuration file.
    • Added automatic update checks and update workflow support.
    • Added shell completion generation for Bash, Zsh, and Fish.
  • Improvements

    • Enhanced graph visualization with multiple terminal layouts and interactive viewer support.
    • Improved ledger validation, migration, locking, and error reporting.
    • The docket command now remains available through a streamlined launcher while preserving its existing subcommands.

Six flat modules under lib/ reached by four different import forms, which
no module-level import could satisfy. Four sites paid for it: two
try/except ImportError pairs and two runtime importlib.import_module calls
that mutated sys.path to find lib.docket_ledger.

Every import is now absolute against the package. bin/docket puts the repo
root on sys.path instead of lib/, so one module has one canonical name from
every entry point. The four workaround sites are gone.

version() and a ROOT constant move to docket/__init__.py. Both callers read
ROOT rather than recomputing parent.parent, which resolves differently
depending on the importing module's depth.

The CLI stays whole in bin/docket, including its ten deliberately lazy
function-body imports. Splitting it is the next step.

Ledger location and author resolution sat in bin/docket, so the command
groups that step 3 splits out would each have reached back into the entry
point for them. They move to docket/env.py unchanged.

retired_by stops being shadowed. bin/docket imported the ledger's version
and then redefined it one screen later; the two differ, because the ledger's
subscripts "supersedes" and raises KeyError on an entry project() has not
filled in. env.py keeps the tolerant one and says why.

Delete run_prefix and next_id. Neither has a caller anywhere in the repo.

bin/docket held 1408 lines behind a shebang, reachable only through
SourceFileLoader. Three test files loaded it that way to call its functions.

term.py owns the colour and glyph primitives because cmd_list and the graph
renderer both need them; either one owning them would have created a cycle
between env and graph. graph.py takes the forest and rail renderer whole.
query.py, record.py and admin.py take the commands that read, write and
administer. bin/docket is now the launcher.

Two paths were derived from __file__ and silently broke on the move.
_graph_viewer_path and cmd_update both computed parent.parent, which named
the checkout from bin/ and names docket/ from docket/cli/. Both read
docket.ROOT now. No test caught either: every test that reaches the viewer
patches the function, and the update test recomputed the same wrong path.

The eight function-body imports stay inside their functions. A SessionStart
hook runs this on every session and must not pay for docket.context,
docket.migrate or docket.update unless a command asks for them.

Scope decides which records a briefing surfaces, so 37 records pointed at
paths the rename emptied. A briefing taken while editing docket/context.py
surfaced none of the four records about it.

The lib/ entries rewrite mechanically. The bin/docket entries do not: that
file still exists as the launcher, so each of the fifteen was routed by what
its record is about. d80 and d82 decide what the entry point is and keep it.

Rewriting scope also moves text scoring, because the briefing folds scope
into its searchable text and weights terms by inverse document frequency
across the whole ledger. The term "docket" is now commoner and "lib" is gone.

scripts/rescope_ledger.py asserts no record count. The ledger grew by nine
records while the refactor was underway.

Walkthrough

The CLI moves from a monolithic bin/docket script into the docket package. New modules provide ledger validation, environment resolution, configuration, rendering, updates, and command handlers. Supporting scripts and tests use the new package paths.

Changes

Package and CLI migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Core package and ledger services
docket/__init__.py, docket/config.py, docket/env.py, docket/ledger.py, docket/update.py, docket/context.py, docket/migrate.py, docket/rebase.py
The package gains shared environment, configuration, ledger, update, migration, and rebase services. Ledger validation, locking, ID allocation, projection, and graph serialization are centralized.
CLI entry, records, and queries
bin/docket, docket/cli/__init__.py, docket/cli/record.py, docket/cli/query.py, docket/cli/term.py
bin/docket becomes a launcher. docket.cli defines argument parsing and dispatch. Record creation, querying, context generation, and terminal formatting move into CLI modules.
Graph and administrative commands
docket/cli/graph.py, docket/cli/admin.py
Graph rendering supports rail, compact, forest, and interactive viewer paths. Administrative handlers provide checking, migration, rebasing, initialization, completion, and update commands.
Supporting migration and tests
experiments/*, scripts/*, tests/*
Supporting scripts, golden generation, fixtures, and tests switch from legacy lib imports and paths to the docket package.

Read the global ledger before creating project-local state.

cmd_init creates target.parent and may write .gitignore before env.read(...). If the read raises LedgerError or OSError, docket.cli.main catches the exception and returns 1, but the newly created directory or .gitignore remains. Check whether the target exists, read the global ledger, and create the directory and .gitignore only after the read succeeds.

Reject malformed cached tags before building the launcher URL.

parse_version accepts suffixes containing path separators, but _run_downloaded_update uses the complete value in the tag-specific URL. A malformed cached tag can therefore request an invalid launcher path and make docket update fail instead of using the main-branch fallback. Restrict cached tags to the supported release format.

🔒️ Proposed fix
-    tag = latest if latest and parse_version(latest) is not None else None
+    tag = latest if latest and _SAFE_TAG.fullmatch(latest) else None

_SAFE_TAG = re.compile(r"v?[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+(?:[-.][0-9A-Za-z]+)*")

Replace recursive traversal in static graph renderers.

A valid support chain near Python's recursion limit can raise RecursionError in _forest_lines and _compact_lines. This can prevent static graph output, including the automatic compact fallback.

The native interactive viewer and --style rail do not use these recursive functions. This limits the impact to static forest and compact rendering. Replace both recursive child calls with explicit stacks. Preserve child order and ancestor formatting.

Classify the ledger by its resolved storage path.

env.ledger_path() returns global_root() / slug(env.project_root()) / "ledger.jsonl" when no project ledger exists. Because this path also contains ledger.jsonl, cmd_where() reports it as project whenever DOCKET_HOME is outside .claude.

Compare path with the resolved global-ledger path. Do not compare only filename text. Comparing with env.project_root() / LEDGER can also misclassify a project ledger found in another ancestor.

Accept blank lines that docket.ledger.read() accepts.

docket.ledger.read() skips blank JSONL lines. This script calls json.loads for every line at Lines 90 and 101. A valid ledger with a blank separator line raises JSONDecodeError before the dry run or rewrite. Filter blank lines when building lines, or skip them in both passes.

Store the backup beside the selected ledger.

When the caller supplies --ledger, this copies the selected ledger to fixed BACKUP under the current directory. If .docket/ does not exist, the command fails before rewriting. If it exists, the backup is not beside the selected ledger and can overwrite an unrelated backup. Derive the backup path from args.ledger and use that value in the status message.

Write the active ledger atomically.

Path.write_text() opens and truncates the active ledger before writing. If the write fails or the process stops, the active ledger can remain partial. Write the UTF-8 output to a temporary file in args.ledger.parent, then replace the ledger with os.replace().

Reroute five ledger records. The first pass assigned d14, d16, d43, d44 and
d45 to the CLI by mechanical substitution rather than by subject. d14 decides
which harnesses ship config, so it belongs on docs/installation.md. d16 puts
defects in GitHub issues. d43, d44 and d45 decide the record and context
model, which docket/** already covers. The script is idempotent now.

Restore the migrate_ledger error path. docket.migrate pulls docket.ledger at
module scope, so a broken install raised ImportError before main() existed to
turn it into the handled message it printed before.

Repoint the context-format experiment at docket/context.py. Its "scoped" rows
passed a path the rename emptied, so both silently measured the unscoped case.
The synthetic paths in context-scale and in the golden fixtures stay: those
match their own generated ledgers.

Adversarial review pass — APPROVE, 0 blocking defects

An Opus reviewer tried to disprove the pure-move claim by AST-extracting every top-level name from main:bin/docket, diffing each against its new home, and byte-comparing CLI output for 21 command forms against a main worktree sharing one ledger.

Verified identical: docket/config.py, docket/ledger.py and docket/update.py are byte-identical to their lib/ originals. docket/context.py and docket/rebase.py differ only by the removed dual-import hack. main() is byte-identical. All three shell completions emit identical SHA-256. All 21 CLI invocations produced identical stdout, stderr and exit code. Per-file assertion counts are identical across all 9 test files, so nothing was weakened or deleted.

Session start got faster: 163.1ms median on this branch against 191.6ms on main, best-of-15, byte-identical 10777-byte output. bin/docket no longer parses 1408 lines on every hook run and the eight lazy imports survived.

The real ledger is untouched by the suite. Identical sha256 and mtime before and after just test. All 13 ledger_path call sites use attribute lookup, so the patch lands everywhere.

The __file__ sweep is clean. Every remaining path derivation in the package was checked against what it resolved to at main. All five source-relative derivations now use docket.ROOT, which equals Path(bin/docket).resolve().parent.parent exactly. No survivor changed meaning, including ones that happen to still work.

Findings, fixed in 66222f8

Five ledger records were misrouted. The rescope assigned d14, d16, d43, d44 and d45 to the CLI by mechanical substitution rather than by subject. d14 decides which harnesses ship config. d16 puts defects in GitHub issues. d43, d44 and d45 decide the record and context model. The script is idempotent now.

core_validator() changed an error path. At main a failed ledger import became MigrationError, caught and printed with exit 1. The module-scope import now raises ImportError before main() exists to catch it. bin/docket migrate was already unreachable for this case, but scripts/migrate_ledger.py was reachable and gave a traceback. Restored there.

The context-format experiment measured the wrong thing. Its scoped rows passed lib/docket_context.py, a path the rename emptied, so both silently degraded to the unscoped case. The synthetic paths in context-scale and the golden fixtures stay, since those match their own generated ledgers.
