Description

This is achieved by leveraging GlobSet::matches which gives a vector of indexes to the patterns that matched, then using those to only do glob expansion on the matched patterns.

This is probably the simplest way we can achieve partial scanning without implementing directory walking ourselves.

CI should be enough.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Improved wildcard path matching for mounted directories, symlinks, and their contents.
    • Added targeted rescanning for mount and symlink events to improve scan efficiency.
    • Configuration changes now reload path patterns before rescanning.
    • Symlink scans now track target changes more reliably.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Fixed partial directory-prefix wildcard patterns so they correctly capture files within the intended directory.
    • Improved handling of ignored paths when files or links change location.
    • Invalid wildcard patterns now report configuration errors instead of causing unexpected failures.
    • Improved path handling when the configured host mount is the root directory.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

HostScanner now caches normalized path patterns, reloads matching state with configuration changes, and performs targeted scans for mount and symlink events. Host-mount removal avoids allocation. Wildcard tests cover directory-prefix and symlink matching.

Changes

Pattern-aware host scanning

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cached path matching
fact/src/host_scanner.rs
HostScanner caches normalized path patterns, rebuilds its glob set during configuration reloads, propagates invalid glob errors, and uses cached patterns for full scans.
Event-targeted scans
fact/src/host_scanner.rs, fact/src/host_info.rs
Partial scans select direct glob matches and matching non-glob prefixes. Mount and symlink events use resolved event paths. Host-mount removal returns borrowed paths and handles the root mount without stripping.
Wildcard configuration validation
tests/test_wildcard.py
Tests use a shared configuration reload helper and verify partial directory wildcard matching and symlink target events.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1161f

Partial scanning can miss configured paths when FACT_HOST_MOUNT ends with a trailing slash, and cached matching may continue emitting paths that are no longer scanable after configuration changes. These correctness risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

221-240: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Add a mount-event integration test.

This test creates a normal file after configuration reload. It does not execute handle_mount_event or scan_partial. Configuration reload calls the full scan() path, so this test cannot detect partial mount-scan regressions.

Mount a filesystem at a configured wildcard path with pre-existing content. Then assert that the mount event causes the expected entries to be scanned.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Wait for reload completion instead of a fixed delay.

fact.kill('SIGHUP') does not confirm that the scanner applied the new configuration. If the file is created before reload completes, the old configuration ignores it and the later full scan does not replay a creation event.

Wait for observable reload completion before returning. For this integration suite, the enabled test-only /inodes endpoint can provide that signal.

Based on learnings, introspection endpoints are dev/testing-only.

@CodeRabbit, this is a good point, but change how the tests work is outside the scope of the PR. Will address when we have time to work on test tech-debt.

@Molter73, acknowledged. The finding remains valid, but it is outside the scope of this PR.

Would you like me to open a follow-up GitHub issue for the reload synchronization test technical debt?

You are interacting with an AI system.

This is achieved by leveraging `GlobSet::matches` which gives a vector
of indexes to the patterns that matched, then using those to only do
glob expansion on the matched patterns.

This is probably the simplest way we can achieve partial scanning
without implementing directory walking ourselves.

Extend scan_partial to preserve direct glob matches while also selecting
patterns whose fixed directory prefix is an ancestor of the event path,
excluding descendants beneath mount or symlink paths such as /watched and
/watched/link. Add regression tests covering reload errors and partial-scan
behavior, format the rename-condition block, and run the formatter.
