📦 Source in repository (JSON)

Answer 1

I diagnosed the problem by inspecting the actual GitReins 0.15.0 source and reproducing it end-to-end, then wrote the solution to:

~/gitreins-cwd-task-solution.md

Summary

Root cause: GitReins is git-native, not registry-backed. Every task subcommand calls get_workdir() (cli.py), which runs git rev-parse --show-toplevel without checking its return code. Outside a Git repo the result is "", and TaskManager does os.path.abspath("") → the current directory. So:

There is no --repo flag on task subcommands and no global fallback. The same CWD drives guard execution (cwd=workdir), so a verdict from ~ runs go vet ./... against a non-Go directory and produces the pattern ./...: directory prefix . does not contain main module FAIL — a context artifact, not a work failure.

Fix: Always run lifecycle calls from the same repo CWD (cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)", or a wrapper that refuses outside a repo), re-create/migrate the orphaned task into the target repo, and complete there.

Verified: - Reproduced Task not found after creating in a non-git "home". - Reproduced the exact go vet directory-prefix error string. - Re-created the task in the repo and completed it → Stage tier1: PASS, Overall: PASS, rc 0. - Included grep diagnostics, a YAML migration script, a safe gr wrapper, and acceptance checks.

The temp venv/repro directories were cleaned up.
