Summary
AI summaryAdded scoped write options (--only, --only-from) and new finding kinds.
Full changelog
Added
--only FILE/--only-from FILE— scope writes to specific files (feature 010). darnlink now
separates the two scopes the positionalpathused to fuse: the index scope (which files are
read — still the whole tree, so a link's target resolves wherever it lives) and the write scope
(which files are modified).--onlynarrows the latter;--only-fromreads the list from a file or
stdin (-), so a caller can pipegit diff --cached --name-onlyin without darnlink learning about
git. This makes the common "anchor the links in the file I'm committing, touch nothing else" case
possible — previously you either scanned your subtree (and the tool couldn't see out-of-subtree
targets, so it anchored nothing) or ran repo-wide (and rewrote everyone's links).--no-target-writes— with--only, refuse the one write that otherwise lands outside the
scope (adding auuidto a target so a link can be anchored). Links that would need it stay plain
and are reported; the guarantee becomes absolute: no file outside--onlyis touched.- New finding kinds in human and
--jsonoutput:out_of_scope,target_uuid_write,
target_write_refused.--jsongainswrite_scopeandsuppressed_outside_write_scope.
Fixed
out_of_scopeno longer misreported asno_frontmatter. A plain link whose target exists but
was never scanned (outsidepath, or excluded) used to be reported as "target has no frontmatter"
— stating as fact something the run never checked. It now has its own kind and an honest message.
This is the confusion that motivated feature 010.
