fix: address review feedback on dependency allowlist
Fixes:
- Single source of truth: script now parses allowlist from CONVENTIONS.md
- Fail closed: script exits non-zero if 'go list' fails
- Direct deps only: uses '-f' flag to exclude transitive deps
- Added 'precommit' to .PHONY in Makefile
- Removed unused ALLOWED_PATTERN variable
- Added Scope column to distinguish test-only vs production deps
- Clarified that transitive deps of approved packages are allowed
- Added note that enforcement script parses the table

Conventions

Language & Dependencies

  • Target the latest stable Go release.
  • STRICT ALLOWLIST: Only packages listed below may be imported. No exceptions.

Approved Third-Party Packages

Package Use Case Scope
gopkg.in/yaml.v3 YAML parsing (persona files, config) production
github.com/google/go-cmp Test comparisons (cmp.Diff) test only

Any import not in this table or the Go standard library is forbidden.

Transitive dependencies of approved packages are automatically allowed.

To request a new dependency:

  1. Open a PR that ONLY updates this table
  2. Requires explicit approval from Aaron
  3. After merge, a separate PR may use the package

Enforcement: scripts/check-deps.sh parses this table — update only here.

Error Handling

  • Return errors; never panic.
  • Wrap errors with context using fmt.Errorf("context: %w", err).
  • Check all error returns.

Testing

  • Test every exported function.
  • Use net/http/httptest for HTTP mocking.
  • Table-driven tests where multiple inputs share the same assertion logic.
  • Integration tests use build tags (//go:build integration).

Style

  • Keep functions short and focused.
  • Prefer early returns over deep nesting.
  • Meaningful variable names — no single-letter names outside loop indices.
  • Comments explain why, not what.

Process

  • go test ./... must pass before commit.
  • go vet ./... must pass before commit.
  • Keep commits atomic and well-described.
