The bug this fixes

lint.yml installed SwiftFormat and SwiftLint with a bare brew install — whatever version Homebrew had that morning — while contributors ran whatever they happened to have installed. A formatter release could therefore redden a pull request that changed nothing, and nothing in the repository recorded which version the rules were written against. Homebrew has no versioned formulae for either tool, so the pin has to live somewhere else.

What changed

mise.toml pins every tool the lint gate runs: SwiftFormat 0.62.1, SwiftLint 0.65.0, shellcheck 0.11.0, zizmor 1.29.0, plus hk and pkl. The Swift toolchain is deliberately absent — it comes from Xcode, and drift there is what toolchain-drift.yml watches for.

hk.pkl replaces the hand-rolled .githooks/pre-commit. Both standing policies carry over:

  • Checks, never fixes (fix = false), so a commit never contains changes you have not read.
  • Skips HTMLTemplates.swift, which .swiftlint.yml excludes. Without that skip SwiftLint exits nonzero with No lintable files found and fails a commit touching only that file.

CI installs from mise.toml via jdx/mise-action instead of brew and pipx. The linters are still invoked directly with their github-actions reporters, so inline PR annotations survive. CI does not run hk — hk.pkl and lint.yml stay separate definitions on purpose.

Installing the hook is now a side effect of mise install rather than a separate git config core.hooksPath step, but it stays opt-in: mise trust is where you agree to let the repository run its own setup.

Upgrading

If you set up the old .githooks directory, clear the leftover config once, or it will silently override the new hook:

git config --local --unset-all core.hooksPath

CONTRIBUTING.md carries this note too.

Verification

Onboarding tested from a clean clone (mise trust && mise install → hook installed). Hook behavior, exercised through real git commit:

case result
clean, well-formatted Swift commit succeeds
badly formatted Swift blocked by swiftformat
force_cast blocked by swiftlint
only HTMLTemplates.swift commit succeeds — the case a naive config regresses
shellcheck violation blocked by shellcheck
--no-verify bypasses, as before

Also confirmed the hook does not rewrite files (checksum unchanged across a failing commit), zizmor --min-severity low is clean on the edited workflows including the new SHA-pinned action, and full-repo shellcheck passes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores

    • Standardized development tools with pinned versions for consistent checks across environments.
    • Updated automated linting and validation to use the shared tool configuration.
    • Replaced the previous commit-hook setup with the new optional hook configuration.
  • Documentation

    • Updated contribution instructions for installing, using, and bypassing optional commit hooks.
    • Added guidance for cleaning up outdated local hook settings.

lint.yml installed SwiftFormat and SwiftLint with a bare `brew install` --
whatever version Homebrew had that morning -- while contributors ran whatever
they happened to have installed. A formatter release could therefore redden a
pull request that changed nothing, and nothing in the repository recorded which
version the rules were written against. Homebrew has no versioned formulae for
either tool, so the pin has to live somewhere else.

mise.toml now pins every tool the lint gate runs, and the three lint jobs
install from it instead of from `brew` and `pipx`. The linters are still
invoked directly with their github-actions reporters, so inline pull request
annotations survive; CI does not run hk.

The hand-rolled .githooks/pre-commit becomes hk.pkl. Both standing policies
carry over: the hook checks rather than fixes, so a commit never contains
changes you have not read, and it skips HTMLTemplates.swift, which SwiftLint
excludes -- without that skip, SwiftLint exits nonzero with "No lintable files
found" and fails a commit touching only that file.

Installing the hook is now a side effect of `mise install` rather than a
separate `git config core.hooksPath` step, but it stays opt-in: `mise trust` is
where you agree to let the repository run its own setup. Contributors who set
up the old directory must clear the leftover core.hooksPath, which would
otherwise stop the new hook from firing; CONTRIBUTING.md carries that note.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The legacy pre-commit hook was deleted. The repository now pins lint and hook tools with mise, updates CI installation, and documents the new hk setup.

Changes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pinned tool configuration
mise.toml
Pins ShellCheck, Zizmor, SwiftFormat, SwiftLint, hk, and Pkl. Enables mise-managed hooks and installs hk after setup.
CI and contributor setup
.github/workflows/lint.yml, CONTRIBUTING.md
CI installs lint tools through the pinned mise configuration. Contributor instructions use hk and describe setup, trust, staged-file checks, bypassing hooks, and stale hook-path cleanup.

Comment thread mise.toml
Each lint job installs only the tools it needs, so `hk` is absent and
mise.toml's postinstall hook exits 127 with `hk: command not found`. mise
downgrades that to a warning and the jobs stayed green, but a warning present
in every run is one nobody reads, and it would mask a postinstall failure that
did matter. Installing a git hook on an ephemeral runner is pointless anyway.

`--no-hooks` is a global mise flag rather than a `mise install` option --
`mise install --no-hooks shellcheck` exits with a usage error -- so it cannot
ride along in the action's install_args. MISE_NO_HOOKS is the env form of the
same switch, set once for the whole workflow.
