zyplux-cerberus 0.11.0

Cross-repo invariant verifier for the zyplux organization

cerberus

Verifies repository invariants — CI workflow structure, justfile and dependency conventions, CODEOWNERS, and release-version bumps — as a per-repo linter against a checkout.

Requirements

• uv and Python 3.14

The justfile check shells out to just, which ships with the package (via rust-just) — no separate install.

Lint a repo

uv run cerberus            # lint the current directory
uv run cerberus PATH       # lint a checkout at PATH

Runs every check and exits non-zero on any failure or error, so it drops into CI like any linter. Run cerberus list to see every check, its scope, and what it verifies.

Option	Description
--check NAME	Limit to named check(s); repeatable
--config PATH	Use a cerberus.toml other than the bundled
--fix	Auto-fix fixable problems (e.g. trailing whitespace)

A repo opts out of specific checks with [tool.cerberus] disable = ["check-id", ...] in its pyproject.toml.

Checks

ID	Scope	Verifies
justfile	content	Canonical baseline block (byte-exact, --fixable), recipe names, aliases, check pipeline, local cerberus run, wrapped tool calls, no trailing whitespace
zyplux-latest	content	Every @zyplux/* npm package, zyplux-* PyPI distribution, and ghcr.io/zyplux image is used at its latest release
ci-workflow	content	ci.yml exists, exposes a ci check, runs on PRs (push to main recommended)
ci-sequence	content	ci.yml runs the canonical check sequence per stack, in the org container
cerberus-step	content	A CI workflow runs cerberus to self-verify org invariants
workflow-tooling	content	Workflows set up only the workspace toolchain (uv, bun), not extra tools
pyrefly-config	content	All code, tests included, type-checks under strict pyrefly with no relaxations
ruff-config	content	ruff runs standalone in preview with select = ["ALL"]; relaxations stay sanctioned
line-length	content	ruff line-length and prettier printWidth are both 120
rumdl-config	content	.rumdl.toml carries the org-canonical rule config (per-repo exclude allowed)
vitest-runner	content	TypeScript tests run on vitest, never bun's built-in test runner (package.json, justfile, CI)
ts-project-references	content	TypeScript typecheck runs via project references (tsc -b), not a per-package fan-out
catalog-discipline	content	Every workspace package.json dependency pins via catalog: or workspace:
story-tests-py	content	tests/**/stories/*.md criteria have a matching, title-matched pytest test
story-tests-ts	content	tests/**/stories/*.md criteria have a matching, title-matched vitest test
cli-ts-tests	content	CLI apps export only the root seam; story tests reach workspace code via fixture aliases
lib-ts-tests	content	Libraries export only the root seam; story tests reach workspace code via fixture aliases
cli-py-tests	content	CLI apps' story tests import only their root module or cli entry module
lib-py-tests	content	Libraries' story tests import only their root module
release-bumps	git-history	A published target's version is bumped whenever its release surface changes
codeowners	content	CODEOWNERS present and covers /.github/
pytest-coverage	content	pyproject.toml [tool.coverage.report] fail_under is set to at least 90%
vitest-coverage	content	The root vitest.config.* coverage.thresholds are all set to at least 90%

The justfile baseline

Every repo's justfile must start with the line # BASELINE, carry the canonical block from baseline.just byte-for-byte, and close it with a # CUSTOM line. Everything after # CUSTOM is the repo's own (extra aliases, recipes, set/mod statements, variables). With both markers present, --fix restores a drifted baseline region and leaves the custom tail untouched; the zyplux repo's own justfile mirrors the packaged canonical, and cerberus keeps the two identical.

Config

Policy — required recipes and aliases, the canonical CI sequence — lives in cerberus.toml. Override it with --config PATH.

zyplux-latest queries npm, PyPI, and GHCR at lint time; a failed lookup is reported as an error, never a silent pass. It has no --fix — run just upgrade to catch up.
