# Phase 24: Status and Add Flags Verification Report

**Phase Goal:** Users can customize status and add behavior with standard git flags for filtering and verbosity
**Verified:** 2026-01-21T19:15:15Z
**Status:** passed
**Re-verification:** No - initial verification

## Goal Achievement

### Observable Truths

| # | Truth | Status | Evidence |
|---|-------|--------|----------|
| 1 | User running `git status --ignored` sees ignored files in output | VERIFIED | cmd_status.py:155-156 adds `-i` flag; test_status_flags.py TestStatusIgnored (3 tests) |
| 2 | User running `git status -b` sees current branch name in status output | VERIFIED | cmd_status.py:87-95 get_branch_header() queries activebookmark; test_status_flags.py TestStatusBranch (4 tests) |
| 3 | User running `git status -uno` suppresses untracked file listing | VERIFIED | cmd_status.py:159-161 adds `-mard` flag for untracked_mode='no'; test_status_flags.py TestStatusUntrackedModes (6 tests) |
| 4 | User running `git add -n <file>` sees what would be added without adding | VERIFIED | cmd_add.py:94-103 passes `-n` to sl add; test_add_flags.py TestAddDryRun (4 tests) |
| 5 | User running `git add -f <ignored-file>` gets a warning about limitation | VERIFIED | cmd_add.py:135-139 prints warning to stderr; test_add_flags.py TestAddForce (2 tests) |
| 6 | User running `git add -v <file>` sees files being added | VERIFIED | cmd_add.py:97-103 captures and prints add output; test_add_flags.py TestAddVerbose (4 tests) |

**Score:** 6/6 truths verified

### Required Artifacts

| Artifact | Expected | Status | Details |
|----------|----------|--------|---------|
| `cmd_status.py` | Status flag handling (--ignored, -b, -v, -u modes) | VERIFIED | 194 lines, contains `show_ignored`, `show_branch`, `untracked_mode`, `-mard`, `activebookmark` |
| `cmd_add.py` | Add flag handling (--dry-run, --force, --verbose) | VERIFIED | 150 lines, contains `dry_run`, force warning, verbose handling |
| `tests/test_status_flags.py` | E2E tests for STAT-01 through STAT-05 | VERIFIED | 259 lines, 21 tests across 5 test classes |
| `tests/test_add_flags.py` | E2E tests for ADD-01 through ADD-05 | VERIFIED | 269 lines, 16 tests across 5 test classes |

### Key Link Verification

| From | To | Via | Status | Details |
|------|----|-----|--------|---------|
| cmd_status.py | sl status -i | --ignored flag translation | WIRED | Line 156: `sl_args.append('-i')` |
| cmd_status.py | sl log --template | Branch header query | WIRED | Line 90: `['sl', 'log', '-r', '.', '--template', '{activebookmark}']` |
| cmd_status.py | sl status -mard | Untracked filtering | WIRED | Line 161: `sl_args.append('-mard')` |
| cmd_add.py | sl add -n | --dry-run flag translation | WIRED | Line 95: `cmd.append("-n")` |
| tests/test_status_flags.py | cmd_status.py | run_gitsl(['status', '--ignored']) | WIRED | 3 test cases with --ignored flag |
| tests/test_add_flags.py | cmd_add.py | run_gitsl(['add', '-n']) | WIRED | 4 test cases with -n flag |

### Requirements Coverage

| Requirement | Status | Evidence |
|-------------|--------|----------|
| STAT-01: --ignored -> sl status -i | SATISFIED | TestStatusIgnored (3 tests) |
| STAT-02: -b/--branch adds branch info | SATISFIED | TestStatusBranch (4 tests) |
| STAT-03: -v/--verbose passes through | SATISFIED | TestStatusVerbose (2 tests) |
| STAT-04: Porcelain status codes | SATISFIED | TestPorcelainStatusCodes (6 tests) |
| STAT-05: -u/--untracked-files modes | SATISFIED | TestStatusUntrackedModes (6 tests) |
| ADD-01: -A/--all to addremove | SATISFIED | TestAddAllVerification (3 tests) |
| ADD-02: -u/--update emulation | SATISFIED | TestAddUpdateVerification (3 tests) |
| ADD-03: --dry-run/-n preview | SATISFIED | TestAddDryRun (4 tests) |
| ADD-04: -f/--force warning | SATISFIED | TestAddForce (2 tests) |
| ADD-05: -v/--verbose shows files | SATISFIED | TestAddVerbose (4 tests) |

**Total:** 10/10 requirements satisfied

### Anti-Patterns Found

| File | Line | Pattern | Severity | Impact |
|------|------|---------|----------|--------|
| — | — | No TODO/FIXME/placeholder patterns found | — | — |
| — | — | No stub implementations detected | — | — |
| — | — | No empty returns (except proper error handling) | — | — |

### Human Verification Required

#### 1. Visual status output verification
**Test:** Run `git status --ignored --porcelain` in a repo with ignored files
**Expected:** Ignored files appear with `!!` prefix
**Why human:** Verify actual terminal output formatting is correct

#### 2. Branch header placement
**Test:** Run `git status -b --short` on a named bookmark
**Expected:** `## branch-name` appears as first line of output
**Why human:** Verify header appears before status entries

#### 3. Verbose note message
**Test:** Run `git status -v`
**Expected:** Note message appears on stderr explaining Sapling difference
**Why human:** Verify message is helpful and clear

### Gaps Summary

No gaps found. All must-haves verified:

1. **Implementation:** Both cmd_status.py (194 lines) and cmd_add.py (150 lines) contain complete implementations of all required flags
2. **Flag translation:** All key links verified - --ignored to -i, -uno to -mard, -n to sl add -n, -f warning message
3. **Test coverage:** 37 new tests (21 status + 16 add) covering all 10 requirements
4. **Integration:** Both command handlers are imported by gitsl.py and wired into dispatch
5. **No stubs:** No TODO/FIXME/placeholder patterns found in any file
