# gstack-wtree — print a working-tree CONTENT fingerprint (a git tree hash).
#
# Builds a temp index, stages the full working tree into it (`git add -u` for
# every tracked file, then `git add -A` for the rest, so .gitignore'd scratch
# stays out and UNTRACKED source is included), and prints `git write-tree` of
# that index. An untracked `.bun/` folder at the repository root (Bun's install
# cache, which a test run can create) is left out so a passing run does not
# look like a mid-run edit (GST-421); tracked files under it still count, and a
# tree without that folder hashes exactly as a plain `git add -A` would.
# Properties that make this the right staleness fingerprint, vs
# `git rev-parse HEAD^{tree}`:
#
#   - Committing identical content does NOT change the fingerprint, so a
#     record made on a dirty tree stays valid after the exact same content is
#     committed (the /ship Step 5 -> Step 16 case).
#   - Untracked new source files DO change the fingerprint, so "tests passed"
#     can't stay FRESH after a new file appears.
#   - Rebase/amend/squash that preserve content do not change it.
#
# Performance: the temp index is seeded by COPYING the real index (git writes
# it atomically via rename, so the copy is a consistent snapshot). That
# preserves the stat cache, so staging only re-hashes files whose stat
# changed — measured 40x faster than a `read-tree HEAD` seed, which zeroes
# stat data and forces a full re-hash of every tracked file. Both seeds
# produce the identical write-tree hash. Fallback: `read-tree HEAD` when the
# index copy is unavailable (fresh repo, exotic index).
#
# The real repo index is never touched. Run standalone, staged blobs land in
# the object store as unreachable objects and get gc'd like stash churn (the
# CONTENT of untracked, non-ignored files enters .git/objects until gc — the
# same property `git stash -u` has), so `git diff <tree> <tree>` between saved
# snapshots works. With GSTACK_WTREE_OBJECT_DIR set (gstack-review-log, E4),
# new objects go to that private directory instead, with the repository's
# object store as an alternate: the fingerprint works under a read-only .git
# (Codex's sandbox), and the caller owns the directory's lifetime because its
# consumers read the tree afterwards. Exit 1 outside a git repo, in a repo with
# no commits, or when a write fails (one stderr line names the cause) — callers
# treat that as "no fingerprint"; a partial hash is never printed.
