Dotfiles commands now deliver capture warnings that would otherwise remain in background watcher logs. This covers credential-named files selected for plaintext storage and files left out of new checkpoints after an include list is narrowed.

Explicit saves and tracking report warnings in their output. Bootstrap reports them during its run. The watcher and automatic application keep pending notices for the next mise dot command other than watch, or a bare mise bootstrap:

mise dot watch --once
mise dot paths

The second command delivers pending notices and shows the current selection. Non-watch dotfiles commands and bare mise bootstrap also deliver notices generated while they run, including on failure. Matching plaintext warnings are deduplicated within the process, and repeated background observations do not add duplicate pending notices. Protective checkpoints retain their warnings if the operation fails before reporting them. Capture and selection-narrowing warnings are delivered once the Git snapshot is durable, before metadata-cache, index, or enrollment writes that can fail. Failed snapshots and failed commits do not generate notices claiming files were saved. Scan warnings are delivered even when a save finds no changes or cannot create a snapshot.

Include patterns also select files created later. With this configuration, a new ~/.config/fish/functions/secrets.fish is captured in plaintext even if it did not exist when tracking began:

[dotfiles]
"~/.config/fish" = { mode = "track", include = ["**"] }

Background capture can save and share the file before the queued warning is read. Warnings do not block capture or publication. To encrypt the selected contents, configure encryption before capturing private files:

[dotfiles]
"~/.config/fish" = { mode = "track", include = ["**"], encrypt = true }

This changes warning delivery, not file selection or encryption. Narrowing a list leaves earlier versions in history; selecting a credential-named file without encryption still stores it in plaintext and can share it with the origin.

Tests cover pending-notice storage, single delivery, watcher deferral, bootstrap output, and include-list narrowing. A regression test creates a credential-named file after configuring a broad include and verifies plaintext capture, deferred warning delivery, and clearing the pending notice.

Regression coverage also checks warning delivery after a metadata-cache failure, silence for failed snapshots and commits, and pending notices delivered by a failed bootstrap. Validation includes checkpoint and reconciliation unit tests, focused dotfiles end-to-end tests, linting, and the full documentation build.

Note

Medium Risk
Changes when plaintext-credential and include-narrowing warnings are shown relative to durable captures and origin publication, without blocking capture.

Overview
Dotfiles capture warnings (plaintext credential files selected by an include list, and paths dropped when an include list is narrowed) are no longer lost when the watcher or other background saves run. A new history/notices queue records them; the next foreground mise dot command (except watch) and bare mise bootstrap drain that queue before and after the command, including on failure.

Checkpoint commits now emit or queue these warnings only after the Git snapshot is durable, and add narrowing notices by comparing the new selection to the parent checkpoint. Explicit saves, track, bootstrap, and similar triggers still report inline; watcher-style triggers record for later delivery, with per-process deduplication so delivery and an in-command walk do not repeat the same line.

Docs add a Capture warnings section; e2e coverage expands for deferred delivery, bootstrap, post-include credential files, and notice deduplication.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds persistent notices for dotfile capture warnings. It separates scan and capture warnings, defers watcher delivery, drains notices from non-watch commands, and expands documentation and end-to-end coverage.

Changes

Dotfiles notices

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Notice persistence and synchronization src/system/history/mod.rs, src/system/history/notices.rs	Adds per-store notice storage with deduplication, locking, selective cleanup, quiet read failures, and concurrency tests.
Warning capture and checkpoint delivery src/system/history/checkpoint.rs, src/system/history/tracked.rs, src/system/history/watch/runtime.rs, src/system/history/checkpoint/preimages.rs, src/system/history/shadow.rs	Separates scan warnings from capture-dependent plaintext warnings. Checkpoints deliver scan warnings immediately and pass capture warnings through record commits. Watchers persist both warning types.
Command delivery and coverage src/cli/dotfiles/mod.rs, src/cli/bootstrap.rs, e2e/cli/test_dotfiles_include_list, docs/history.md	Non-watch commands drain notices before and after execution. Documentation and end-to-end tests cover save, track, watch, bootstrap, and wrapped capture flows.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c0758

Background watching may report a plaintext save that never produced a checkpoint, so this warning-delivery behavior should be corrected before merge.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge; no actionable new issue remains, and both previous warning-timing findings are resolved in the current code.

Summary

This PR persists warnings generated by unattended dotfiles captures and delivers them during later foreground dotfiles or bootstrap commands.

• Defers watcher-generated notices while deduplicating repeated warnings.
• Emits capture warnings only after the Git snapshot becomes durable.
• Reports include-list narrowing against the preceding checkpoint.
• Documents warning timing and adds end-to-end and unit regression coverage.

Instruction counts

Nothing was compared, and so nothing was gated. No series appears on both sides: either the base has no measurements recorded, or the two were measured on different runner classes, which are deliberately not comparable — counts shift between machine types by more than a real regression does.

New, nothing to compare against: env on jdx-perf-v1-ubuntu24.04-x64-mise-rust1.97.1-img5263c143, hook-env on jdx-perf-v1-ubuntu24.04-x64-mise-rust1.97.1-img5263c143, ls on jdx-perf-v1-ubuntu24.04-x64-mise-rust1.97.1-img5263c143, registry on jdx-perf-v1-ubuntu24.04-x64-mise-rust1.97.1-img5263c143, startup on jdx-perf-v1-ubuntu24.04-x64-mise-rust1.97.1-img5263c143
