Summary

Closes #1854

Brace-only and extglob-only generates values previously went through literal file lookup, leaving artifacts incomplete even when matching outputs existed. Recognize brace alternatives, brace ranges, and extglobs while preserving existing literal filename behavior.

Changes

  • Keep the original *, ?, and [ classification rules and recognize brace expansions and extglobs, including later brace groups and nested braces. Avoid its broader dynamic predicate, which also reinterprets a leading !, parenthesized alternatives, and backslashes.
  • Preserve literal outputs such as !review.md; continue recognizing !(proposal|design).md as an extglob. Add resolver regressions for both, plus literal parentheses and backslashes on platforms that permit those filenames.
  • Cover brace alternatives/ranges, all five extglob classifiers, +() resolution, Windows separators, and brace/extglob directory patterns that reach outbound symlinks even without matching files. Retain dependency-unblocking tests.
  • Generate fast-glob tasks before matching, validate every task base, and run directory confinement checks on the expanded positive patterns. Reject {safe,../outside}/review.md even when the outside file is missing; also cover cross-directory braces reaching outbound symlinks.
  • Update docs-lab/reference/schemas/schema-yaml.md, the artifact-graph specification, and the patch changeset.
  • Add concrete output-resolution coverage for report-{draft}-{1..3}.md, including out-of-range and non-literal-brace exclusions.

Validation

  • node build.js
  • node node_modules/typescript/bin/tsc --noEmit
  • node node_modules/eslint/bin/eslint.js src/
  • node bin/openspec.js validate artifact-graph --type spec --strict --no-interactive
  • Focused artifact output/state tests: 85 passed.
  • Full suite: 158 test files and 4611 tests passed. Run with loopback HTTP listener permission required by the version-check tests.

The installed tools were invoked directly because the environment's pnpm wrapper attempted a dependency installation and failed.

AI Assistance

Original implementation used Antigravity with Gemini 3.8 Flash. This follow-up used Codex for the compatibility fix, regression tests, documentation, and validation.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved artifact output resolution for brace-expansion and extglob patterns, including nested and later brace groups.
    • Preserved literal filenames containing characters such as !, parentheses, or single-element braces.
    • Prevented expanded paths and traversed links from escaping the relevant change directory.
    • Improved handling of negative patterns and cases with no matching files.
    • Artifact completion and dependency tracking now work correctly with brace and extglob patterns.
  • Documentation

    • Clarified how glob patterns and literal filenames are interpreted, including supported wildcards, character classes, brace expansions, and extglobs.

Walkthrough

Artifact output classification and resolution now support brace expansion and extglob patterns. Expanded paths are validated against the change directory. Tests and specification scenarios cover matching outputs, traversal rejection, literal cases, and dependent artifact unblocking.

fast-glob also classifies a leading ! as a dynamic negative pattern. Because generates accepts any relative filename and resolves one pattern at a time, a valid literal output such as !review.md previously resolved through stat, but this change sends it to fg.sync("!review.md"), which returns no matches even when that file exists. I reproduced this at 546160a: isGlobPattern returned true and resolveArtifactOutputs returned []. Please preserve a bare leading ! as a literal filename while still recognizing !() extglobs, and add a regression test.

The canonical schema reference also needs to move with this behavior: docs-lab/reference/schemas/schema-yaml.md currently says OpenSpec treats only values containing *, ?, or [ as globs. That becomes inaccurate once brace and extglob patterns are supported.

Exercise Windows-style paths through output resolution.

This case only tests isGlobPattern. It does not verify that resolveArtifactOutputs resolves a backslash-delimited dynamic pattern. Create fixture files with path.join, resolve String.raw\specs\review-{api,ui}.md``, and compare canonical expected paths.

Run pnpm exec vitest run test/core/artifact-graph/outputs.test.ts after adding the case.

As per coding guidelines: “When touching path behavior, add coverage that would fail on Windows path separators.”

@alfred-openspec Fixed in 4012a28 and 0037bd9. Literal !review.md now resolves correctly, while !() extglobs remain supported. Added resolver regressions and updated the canonical schema reference.

Also added confinement checks for brace-expanded paths and coverage for later/nested brace groups. All 4,610 tests pass, along with build, type checking, and lint.

Ready for another review.

Re-reviewed at 0037bd9. The earlier Major brace bug is resolved: later and nested brace groups now classify and resolve, brace-expanded parent traversal is rejected before fast-glob runs, and literal !review.md remains a literal output.

Local validation passed: the focused output/state suite (84 tests), the full suite (4,610 tests), build, tsc --noEmit, and ESLint.

Approved from the implementation review. Because this changes docs-lab/, it still needs final review from @TabishB under the docs policy.

The earlier Major brace bug is resolved at 0037bd9: later and nested brace groups now classify and resolve, and the expanded-path confinement checks work. Local build, tsc --noEmit, ESLint, the focused 84 tests, and all 4,610 tests pass.

Two repository requirements remain before approval:

  1. Add the concrete output-resolution regression for the separately requested later range case, such as report-{draft}-{1..3}.md. The current case covers its classification, while resolution is only exercised for an earlier range and later alternatives.
  2. Add a delta for the new supported glob contract in openspec/specs/artifact-graph/spec.md.

The docs-lab/ change also needs final review from @TabishB, and the final head still needs the hosted CI/Security gates.

@alfred-openspec Both remaining items from your review are addressed in 7ba879e:

  1. Added a concrete resolver regression for report-{draft}-{1..3}.md. It checks all three matching files, excludes report-{draft}-4.md and report-draft-1.md, and verifies artifact completion.
  2. Updated openspec/specs/artifact-graph/spec.md with the supported glob contract and scenarios for brace alternatives/ranges, later and nested groups, extglobs, literal filenames, no matches, and expanded-path confinement.

Validation on this head: build, TypeScript, ESLint, strict artifact-graph spec validation, 85 focused output/state tests, and the full suite of 158 files / 4,611 tests passed. The full suite ran with local loopback listener permission for the version-check tests.

Please re-review. @TabishB Please also provide the final review for the existing docs-lab/ change.

The new head's hosted workflows currently report action_required: CI and Security. Please approve/enable the runs as needed so the final checks can execute. The integration could not add formal reviewer requests (HTTP 403), so I am requesting review here.
