Coolify injects SOURCE_COMMIT and the COOLIFY_* family into an application's
runtime environment itself, and SKIPS its own injection of a name the resource
already carries a var of (ApplicationDeploymentJob.php v4.1.2, line 2994 —
`->where('key', 'SOURCE_COMMIT')->isEmpty()`). A resource-level var of that
name therefore SUPPRESSES the platform's value. An empty one suppresses it
just as completely: presence, not value.
And it fails green — the deploy succeeds, health checks pass, and the only
symptom is /version reporting "unknown", the endpoint a production cutover is
gated on (D-266).
The rule is now a property of cast, not of one code path. A new src/reserved.ts
owns it, and every place cast touches an env var honors it:
- resolve — every manifest read (desiredFromManifest, requiredSecrets,
manifestResources) refuses a template declaring a reserved name, before any
write. So apply, diff, capture and inventory all refuse identically.
- draft — a reserved name read off a live box gets its own provenance,
`suppressed`: out of the template, out of the age store, its live value read
into no artifact, and named in UNCAPTURED.md with the consequence.
- diff — promoted out of the remove-candidate orphan list ("apply never removes
these; read them by eye") and printed as a FINDING with its consequence. Not
clean. apply still never deletes: cast reports, the human removes it.
- capture (classify) and cli (syncEnv) carry the same assertion at the file and
at the wire — unreachable through the CLI today, and kept because the
invariant is "cast never writes one", not "the CLI happens to check first".
- smoke writes an env var too; its probe names are asserted outside the space.
The rule lives in cast's code, NOT beside forbidden_var_patterns in private
state: that one is policy an environment may set for itself, this one is a fact
about Coolify, true on every box — nothing a manifest change could lower.
19 tests in test/reserved.test.ts, one per path.
Closes#50.
