RETURNS previously conflated fish's $status exit code with genuine
stdout/printed output, e.g. rm listing "0/1" as if they were print
values rather than exit codes. Rename RETURNS to EXIT STATUS across
all 83 documented functions, and reintroduce RETURNS as a distinct
label reserved for the 15 functions that actually print to stdout.
Update build-manual.py's ENTRY_HEADS to render Exit Status before
Returns, manualtools.py's SECTIONS constant, and AGENTS.md's label
order and label-usage guidance to match. Add two verify-manual.py
regression tests: EXIT STATUS bodies must never contain stray
stdout/printed language, and Returns: must always render after
Exit Status: when both are present. Regenerate docs/fish-config.md.
The man-page-style comment header above each function in functions/*.fish
becomes the SSOT for that function's documentation. Writing a new function
and documenting it are now the same act.
- manualtools.parse_functions() parses every header carrying a # CATEGORY;
absence of one is the opt-in, keeping bundled-plugin and prompt internals
out of the manual with no exclusion list to maintain.
- build-manual.py generates entries for both --concat and --site, with
**Dependencies:** rendered as links and a **Used by:** reverse index
computed in one pass. Cross-category links are the navigation win.
- docs/manual/05-functions/*.md reduced to frontmatter-only stubs. Every
intro measured zero words, so the category files were pure entry
containers; ordering, titles, and helpKeywords routing are untouched.
- _first_sentence() unwraps the leading hard-wrapped paragraph and skips
the whole Synopsis block, not just its label line. Site cards no longer
truncate mid-clause or show a synopsis as their description.
Verification, per the design spec:
- test_concat_roundtrips_original scoped to sections 0-4 and 6-11. It
guarded a format migration; this is a content migration.
- replaced by structural checks: one entry per categorised function, the
required sections present, every category resolving to a stub with no
stub empty, and every declared dependency resolving to a real function
or a type -q-guarded binary.
- public functions lacking # CATEGORY warn rather than fail, so a new
user-facing function going undocumented stays visible in CI.
24/24 checks pass. 94 entries generated from 94 parsed headers.
Also drops a stale claim from open-url's NOTES: config-help --html calls
xdg-open directly and has never called open-url.
Word-level diff of every manual entry against its generated counterpart
surfaced 546 tokens present in the manual and absent from the header —
losses reconcile.py missed, because it compared description length and
these headers are longer overall thanks to ARGUMENTS/RETURNS.
Merged the substantive ones (546 -> 202 residual tokens, the remainder
being synonym drift). Notable real fixes:
- git-clean: -f/--force was missing from ARGUMENTS entirely
- pkg: per-package-manager query table
- qc: cli-role rationale, role paths, --role passthrough
- config-help: site URL, xdg-open, man page path, case-insensitivity
- agents-init: idempotency, .gitignore paths, upstream pull, wrapper callers
- smart_exit: exit-builtin wiring note, $SCROLLBACK_HISTORY_DIR
The manual's claim that claude/agy pass `agents-init --agents` is stale;
both pass `--quiet` (full setup). Header wins, manual dropped.
Folds the examples Section 5 carried but the headers did not into each
function's `# EXAMPLE`, and moves the three lines that only looked like
examples -- the two typo-abbreviation notes and rm's /usr/bin/rm fallback --
into `# NOTES`, the label already in use.
Also corrects gi's synopsis, which omitted -l, and documents yt-dlp's
--no-embed-thumbnail in `# ARGUMENTS`.
Records each documented function's manual category in its own header, so
Section 5 can later be generated from source instead of hand-maintained
alongside it. Values reproduce the current grouping in
docs/manual/05-functions/ exactly; no documentation changes meaning here.
Four functions are skipped because they have no header at all yet
(branch, fc, gitup, sudo-toggle); they get one in the merge that follows.
Replace all ad-hoc inline comments between license headers and function
declarations with consistent SYNOPSIS / DESCRIPTION / ARGUMENTS / RETURNS /
EXAMPLE blocks across all 99 project-owned functions/ files. No executable
logic, variable names, or exit codes were modified.
Completes Task #6 from AGENTS.md (Retroactive Function Documentation
Standardization).
- Add comprehensive `--description` flags to all fish functions for better `help` and `functions` output.
- Introduce and correct `--wraps` flags to ensure proper completions for aliased commands (e.g., `top` wrapping `btop`, `zellij`, `upgrade` wrapping `paru`).
- Prepend descriptive comments before function definitions for better source readability.
- Add standard copyright and SPDX license identifiers to shell scripts.
- Enhance script robustness by ensuring consistent terminal checks (Kitty, WezTerm) and graceful fallbacks in window/tab spawning functions (`spwin`, `tab`).
- Implement graceful fallbacks to basic core utilities when preferred modern alternatives are missing (e.g., `top` falling back to system `top` if `btop` is missing, `view` falling back to `less` or `cat` if `nvim` is unavailable).
- Improve overall code consistency across the `functions/` directory.
