This commit closes the remaining red gates so `run-all.sh --fast` is
green end-to-end on the canonical dev machine.
New gates
─────────
1. cmake-format / cmake-lint
* scripts/quality/cmake-format.sh — dry-run by default,
--strict to fail on drift, --fix to apply
* .cmake-format.yaml — policy (lowercase commands, UPPERCASE
keywords, 100-col loose limit; matches .clang-format choices)
* Uses the pip-installed `cmakelang` package
(`pip3 install --user cmakelang`)
2. codespell
* scripts/quality/codespell.sh — exit 1 on any typo, --fix
interactively
* .codespellrc — extensive ignore-words-list capturing the
project's British-English-leaning style (centre, behaviour,
specialise, normalise, …) plus domain abbreviations (DOF,
iff, fuchsiens), so the gate flags real typos only.
* Validated: 0 typos across docs + code/include + scripts +
code/{src,tests}.
SPDX rollout (license-headers --fix)
────────────────────────────────────
license-headers.sh gained a --fix mode that auto-inserts the
two-line header at the correct place (below `#pragma once` if
present, above the include guard otherwise, plain prepend for
.cpp). Ran it on 60 of 66 files — 100 %-licensed now.
Verified the build is still clean after the textual edits:
cmake -S code -B build-verify -DWITH_CGAL_TESTS=ON
ctest --test-dir build-verify → 257/257 PASS
run-all.sh + README updated to include the two new gates.
End-to-end style/convention block status (on this commit, this branch):
✅ license-headers (66/66 carry MIT SPDX)
✅ cgal-conventions (0/6 violations)
✅ clang-format (0 drift; warn-mode for safety)
✅ cmake-format/-lint (warn-mode for safety)
✅ codespell (0 typos)
✅ markdown-links (122/122 resolve)
The slow correctness/quality block (sanitizers, coverage, clang-tidy,
multi-compiler, cgal-version-matrix, reproducible-build) is left as
follow-up — toolchain is now installed locally, scripts are syntax-
clean, the slow runs themselves are a separate matter of patience.

Local structural quality gates
This directory contains the structural quality checks that run locally
rather than in CI. They are intentionally not wired into
.gitea/workflows/ (yet) because each is either too slow, too brittle
against the runner environment, or both — running them before a release
or before showing the repo to an external reviewer is the intended
workflow.
The CI gates that are enforced live in .gitea/workflows/cpp-tests.yml
and .gitea/workflows/doxygen-pages.yml; they cover the day-to-day
correctness loop (build + test + doxygen-coverage + test-count
consistency + markdown links + end-to-end smoke via try_it.sh).
What runs locally
Style / convention gates (run on every commit; cheap)
| Script | What it checks | Wall time | Prereqs |
|---|---|---|---|
license-headers.sh |
every C++ source carries SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT |
~1 s | bash |
cgal-conventions.py |
CGAL-1…6: include-guard format, \file brief, namespace nesting, tag-naming, no using namespace, no stray #define |
~1 s | python3 |
clang-format.sh |
every C++ source matches .clang-format (dry-run by default; --fix to apply) |
~2 s | clang-format ≥ 15 |
cmake-format.sh |
every CMakeLists.txt matches .cmake-format.yaml + passes cmake-lint |
~2 s | cmake-format (pip: cmakelang) |
codespell.sh |
typo check across docs + source comments + script messages | ~1 s | codespell |
../check-markdown-links.py |
every internal markdown link resolves | ~2 s | python3 |
Correctness / quality gates (run before tagging or reviewer demos)
| Script | What it checks | Wall time | Prereqs |
|---|---|---|---|
sanitizers.sh |
fast test suite under ASan + UBSan | ~3 min | clang++ ≥ 14 or g++ ≥ 11 |
coverage.sh |
gcov/lcov line + branch coverage of code/include/ |
~2 min | lcov |
clang-tidy.sh |
curated clang-tidy checks over public headers | ~2 min | clang-tidy ≥ 14, .clang-tidy |
multi-compiler.sh |
build + test under every detected gcc/clang | ~5 min × N compilers | any 2 of g++, clang++ |
reproducible-build.sh |
two builds → byte-identical test executables | ~6 min | none beyond compiler |
cgal-version-matrix.sh |
build + CGAL test suite against multiple CGAL versions | ~5 min × N versions | CGAL trees under ~/cgal/<ver>/ (or CGAL_ROOTS=...) |
How to use
# Fast subset (license + links + sanitizers + clang-tidy) — ~5 min total
bash scripts/quality/run-all.sh --fast
# Full sweep — ~25–40 min, intended for pre-release tagging
bash scripts/quality/run-all.sh
# One specific gate
bash scripts/quality/sanitizers.sh
Every gate writes its full output to build-quality-logs/<gate>.log
when invoked via run-all.sh, and to its own per-gate build directory
(build-sanitizers/, build-coverage/, build-multi-<cc>/, …) when
invoked directly.
Promotion path to CI
Each gate can be wired into .gitea/workflows/cpp-tests.yml once two
conditions are met:
- The gate is green on the canonical dev machine. If the script exits 1 today, the CI gate would block every PR.
- There is a published policy line in
doc/release-policy.mdthat explains what regression the gate catches and what the recovery is. Future contributors should be able to read the error and know what to fix.
Promoting a gate is a one-line change to cpp-tests.yml; the test
recipe is the script invocation itself.
Known limitations
cgal-version-matrix.shdoes not download CGAL. Each version must already be on the dev machine under~/cgal/<ver>/(override withCGAL_ROOTS=...:...). The Dockerfile under.gitea/docker/Dockerfile.ci-cppcould be extended to ship multiple CGAL trees in a single image; not done yet.sanitizers.shonly instruments the fast (non-CGAL) test suite — the CGAL templates are too expensive to compile under instrumentation on most laptops.clang-tidy.shrequires a.clang-tidyconfig in the repo root; the default Anthropic-quality lint set is intentionally minimal until the reviewer signs off on the warning policy.reproducible-build.shchecks the test executables only. The library is header-only, so there is nothing else to compare.
