Git-Native-0.006

Changes for version 0.006 - 2026-08-30

  • Remote: read the git_cert_hostkey field offsets from Git::Libgit2::cert_hostkey_offsets (new in 0.007) instead of compiling in the 1.5.x numbers. The values are identical on every supported ABI; the difference is one source of truth next to the binding, derived from the ABI, with t/75-cert-hostkey-layout.t still cross-checking against offsetof() wherever a compiler is available.
  • Git::Native: drop `use Moo` from the entry-point package, which takes the constructor away with it. The package declares no attributes and every sub in it is a class method, so Git::Native->new returned an object no method ever read - indistinguishable from passing the class name, which is what every caller did anyway. Nothing in this distribution or in its only known consumer ever called it. The wrapper classes under Git::Native:: are untouched and still Moo.
  • All modules now carry their own $VERSION. Only the main module had one, so Git::Native::Repository->VERSION and its siblings answered undef while META provides and the generated POD both claimed the dist version. dist.ini drops version_finder = :MainModule, which had confined the version rewrite to the main module.
  • Remote: take the git_fetch_options.prune offset from Git::Libgit2::fetch_options_prune_offset instead of a compiled-in constant. That constant was derived from libgit2 1.5, where the embedded callbacks struct is 120 bytes; against 1.9 (128 bytes) the prune value landed 8 bytes early, on the `update_refs` callback pointer that 1.9 prefers over `update_tips`. Fetch therefore never pruned, and a fetch that did report ref updates would have jumped to address 1 or 2. Requires Git::Libgit2 0.007.
  • t/60-config-snapshot.t: assert GIT_EREADONLY instead of matching libgit2 prose, whose wording moved from "readonly" to "read-only". The constant is likewise new in Git::Libgit2 0.007.
  • t/75-cert-hostkey-layout.t: new network-free probe pinning the git_cert_hostkey field offsets Remote compiles in. They are read only from the SSH certificate_check callback, so t/40-remote-ssh.t was their sole coverage and it skips without TEST_GIT_NATIVE_SSH_URL - the same blind spot the git_fetch_options.prune offset had. The test compiles offsetof() against the git2.h Alien::Libgit2 installs and compares the measurement with the constants, along with the git_cert_t and git_cert_ssh_t values the callback branches on. It skips, with the reason, when there is no C compiler, when git2.h is not reachable, or when the header's LIBGIT2_VERSION disagrees with the loaded library. Adds Alien::Libgit2 and ExtUtils::CBuilder as test prerequisites.
  • dist.ini: exclude .claude/ and CLAUDE.md from the gathered dist. The [@Author::GETTY] bundle runs Git::GatherDir with include_dotfiles, so the agent instructions - five agent files, seven skills, the house rules - shipped in the CPAN tarball alongside the code. They are working material for this repository, not documentation for consumers; nothing in lib/ or t/ reads them at runtime.
