szpont

Install-and-run for Diplomat (Szpont Yon) - the menu-bar / system-tray applet that reviews your pull requests, fixes your own, resolves conflicts, and keeps one device per agent.

pip install szpont && szpont     # or:  npx szpont

That is the whole install. macOS and Linux.

What it actually does

Diplomat is built out of the checkout it runs from - a SwiftUI bundle on macOS, a PySide6 package plus the diplomat-core Swift binary on Linux - and it keeps being that checkout: the Update button, the daily 06:00 timer and the commit the panel reports are all git operations on it. A wheel holding a copy would be a second Diplomat that no update could reach.

So this distribution is the steps in between, and every one of them runs a script that is already in the repository:

macOS Linux
get it git clone into ~/.diplomat/checkout, or fast-forward it same
build it install/build-app.sh → Diplomat.app install/build-core.sh when the prompt binary is missing
set it up - a venv at ~/.diplomat/venv with requirements.txt in it
start it open Diplomat.app the package's own ./diplomat, on the venv's interpreter

Nothing is rebuilt that does not need to be: a venv is left alone until requirements.txt changes, and the Swift prompt binary is only built when the applet would not find one. git is needed to fetch Diplomat, and a Swift toolchain to build it - if one is missing you are told which and where to get it, before anything is downloaded.

szpont --plan        # print what would be run, as JSON, and do none of it
szpont --no-update   # launch the checkout as it stands
szpont -- --dump     # everything after -- goes to the applet

DIPLOMAT_SELF_REPO points at a checkout of your own - the same variable the running applet reads, and one this launcher never updates, because a working copy may have work in it. DIPLOMAT_REPO_URL clones from a fork.

The same name on both indexes

npx szpont runs the same launcher, and that is all either name installs: one file of standard library on each side, no dependency on either index. What keeps them one command is packages/szpont-npm/test/parity-with-python.mjs - every machine shape in test/scenarios.mjs goes through both planners, and the two answers have to be identical.

The protocol Diplomat's machines find each other over is SzpontNet, published separately as szpontnet; nothing here imports it, and installing this does not install it.

Its own tests

pip install pytest
pytest packages/szpont/tests -q

Note on the name

szpont names three things, and they share the namespace rather than compete for it: this command, its npm twin, and the conformance tester, run as python -m szpont from its own directory.

Only the tester is precarious. It is never installed, and the working directory precedes site-packages on sys.path, so it wins from where it is run - but publishing it under this name is what the three could not share. The console script cannot collide with it at all: an entry point is a file in bin/, not a name on the import path, and the module this one lives in is szpont_launcher.
