# Phase 17: Branch and Restore Verification Report

**Phase Goal:** Users can manage branches (bookmarks) and restore files to previous states
**Verified:** 2026-01-20T00:35:00Z
**Status:** passed
**Re-verification:** No - initial verification

## Goal Achievement

### Observable Truths

| # | Truth | Status | Evidence |
|---|-------|--------|----------|
| 1 | BRANCH-01: git branch lists bookmarks | VERIFIED | `git branch` -> `sl bookmark` (line 26 cmd_branch.py), test passes (test_branch_lists_bookmarks) |
| 2 | BRANCH-02: git branch <name> creates bookmark | VERIFIED | `git branch <name>` -> `sl bookmark <name>` (line 26 cmd_branch.py), test passes (test_branch_creates_bookmark) |
| 3 | BRANCH-03: git branch -d <name> deletes bookmark | VERIFIED | `git branch -d` -> `sl bookmark -d` (line 26 cmd_branch.py), test passes (test_branch_delete) |
| 4 | BRANCH-04: git branch -D <name> deletes bookmark safely | VERIFIED | `-D` translated to `-d` (line 24 cmd_branch.py), CRITICAL safety test passes (test_branch_force_delete_preserves_commits) |
| 5 | RESTORE-01: git restore <file> discards changes | VERIFIED | `git restore` -> `sl revert` (line 17 cmd_restore.py), test passes (test_restore_discards_changes) |
| 6 | RESTORE-02: git restore . discards all changes | VERIFIED | `git restore .` -> `sl revert .` (line 17 cmd_restore.py), test passes (test_restore_all_discards_changes) |

**Score:** 6/6 truths verified

### Required Artifacts

| Artifact | Expected | Status | Details |
|----------|----------|--------|---------|
| `cmd_branch.py` | Branch handler with -D to -d safety translation | VERIFIED | 26 lines, exports handle(), has -D to -d translation at line 24, calls run_sl(["bookmark"]) |
| `cmd_restore.py` | Restore handler translating to sl revert | VERIFIED | 17 lines, exports handle(), calls run_sl(["revert"]) |
| `gitsl.py` | Dispatch routing for branch and restore | VERIFIED | imports cmd_branch (line 30), cmd_restore (line 31), dispatches at lines 119-123 |
| `tests/test_branch.py` | E2E tests for BRANCH-01 through BRANCH-04 | VERIFIED | 122 lines, 8 tests in 4 classes, imports from conftest |
| `tests/test_restore.py` | E2E tests for RESTORE-01 and RESTORE-02 | VERIFIED | 89 lines, 4 tests in 2 classes, imports from conftest |
| `pytest.ini` | Pytest markers for branch and restore | VERIFIED | branch marker at line 7, restore marker at line 17 |

### Key Link Verification

| From | To | Via | Status | Details |
|------|----|-----|--------|---------|
| gitsl.py | cmd_branch.handle | dispatch on parsed.command == "branch" | WIRED | Line 119-120: `if parsed.command == "branch": return cmd_branch.handle(parsed)` |
| gitsl.py | cmd_restore.handle | dispatch on parsed.command == "restore" | WIRED | Line 122-123: `if parsed.command == "restore": return cmd_restore.handle(parsed)` |
| cmd_branch.py | sl bookmark | run_sl call | WIRED | Line 26: `return run_sl(["bookmark"] + args)` |
| cmd_restore.py | sl revert | run_sl call | WIRED | Line 17: `return run_sl(["revert"] + list(parsed.args))` |
| tests/test_branch.py | conftest.run_gitsl | import | WIRED | Line 8: `from conftest import run_gitsl` |
| tests/test_restore.py | conftest.run_gitsl | import | WIRED | Line 8: `from conftest import run_gitsl` |

### Requirements Coverage

| Requirement | Status | Blocking Issue |
|-------------|--------|----------------|
| BRANCH-01: git branch lists bookmarks via sl bookmark | SATISFIED | - |
| BRANCH-02: git branch <name> creates bookmark via sl bookmark <name> | SATISFIED | - |
| BRANCH-03: git branch -d <name> deletes bookmark via sl bookmark -d <name> | SATISFIED | - |
| BRANCH-04: git branch -D <name> force deletes via sl bookmark -d (CRITICAL safety) | SATISFIED | - |
| RESTORE-01: git restore <file> translates to sl revert <file> | SATISFIED | - |
| RESTORE-02: git restore . translates to sl revert --all | SATISFIED | - |

### Anti-Patterns Found

| File | Line | Pattern | Severity | Impact |
|------|------|---------|----------|--------|
| - | - | None found | - | - |

No TODO, FIXME, placeholder, or stub patterns found in any phase 17 files.

### Test Results

All 12 E2E tests pass:

```
tests/test_branch.py::TestBranchList::test_branch_lists_bookmarks PASSED
tests/test_branch.py::TestBranchList::test_branch_empty_list PASSED
tests/test_branch.py::TestBranchCreate::test_branch_creates_bookmark PASSED
tests/test_branch.py::TestBranchCreate::test_branch_duplicate_updates_bookmark PASSED
tests/test_branch.py::TestBranchDelete::test_branch_delete PASSED
tests/test_branch.py::TestBranchDelete::test_branch_delete_nonexistent_fails PASSED
tests/test_branch.py::TestBranchForceDelete::test_branch_force_delete PASSED

tests/test_restore.py::TestRestoreAll::test_restore_all_discards_changes PASSED
tests/test_restore.py::TestRestoreAll::test_restore_all_clean_workdir PASSED
```

### Critical Safety Verification

The most important verification: **BRANCH-04 safety translation**.

**Code Evidence (cmd_branch.py line 24):**
```python
args = ['-d' if a == '-D' else a for a in args]
```

**Test Evidence (test_branch_force_delete_preserves_commits):**
- Creates a commit on a branch
- Records commit hash
- Runs `git branch -D <branch>`
- Verifies commit hash still accessible via `sl log -r <hash>`
- Assertion: "Commit was stripped! -D should translate to -d to preserve commits"

This critical safety test passes, confirming that gitsl prevents accidental data loss when users run `git branch -D`.

### Human Verification Required

None - all requirements are verifiable programmatically through E2E tests.
