fix(diff,api): do not diff Fleet-maintained app categories when unreadable - #60
Merged
Conversation
Follow-up to #59, which fixed the categories churn only for apps fleet-plan infers from software titles. On the fleet-gitops CI runner the churn dropped from 14 rows to 6 rather than to 1, because a GitOps-scoped token gets a partial fleet_maintained_apps list from GET /teams -- and mergeFleetApps took those entries verbatim, discarding the inferred twin that had just been enriched with categories and scripts from the title detail endpoint. mergeFleetApps now fills only the fields the /teams entry does not carry (categories, the four scripts, and the title/team IDs) from the enriched twin, leaving everything Fleet did report untouched. An app present on both sides therefore stops reporting "categories: [] -> [X]" on every run. Reproduced first by TestMergeFleetAppsKeepsEnrichedFields and TestDiffFleetMaintainedAppFromAPIWithoutCategories, both of which failed before this change with exactly the rows seen on CampusTech/fleet-gitops#103.

shared testdata/ fleet-gitops fixture, covering API field precedence,
inferred-field completion, normalized-slug identity, and inferred-only
retention. Refactor internal/diff/differ_test.go:3413-3446 similarly, covering
no churn and a real category change; keep all scenarios table-driven and reuse
shared fixture data rather than inline hard-coded setups.

Per review on #60. The merge test now covers the precedence matrix as cases rather than one inline scenario: inferred filling omitted fields, API values winning where present, inferred-only apps surviving, slug pairing after path normalization, and a mixed list. The end-to-end test now runs against the shared testdata/ fixture, whose Workstations team already configures cursor/windows with categories, across four live-state shapes: app absent from /teams, returned without categories, returned with categories, and a genuine difference that must still be reported.

Two review findings, one of which is a bug already on main. categoriesEqual compared normalized values as a set behind a length check, so ["Security", "Utilities"] and ["Security", "Security"] were reported equal -- a real category change could be hidden. It now counts occurrences. This was flagged on #59 as an outside-the-diff comment, which is why it shipped. The mergeFleetApps test asserted only Categories and InstallScript, so it would still pass if fillFleetAppGaps stopped copying UninstallScript, PreInstallQuery, PostInstallScript, TitleID, or TeamID. Every copied field now carries a distinct value on both sides, plus a case where the API entry is partially populated and only its empty fields are filled.

…dable
The real cause of the categories churn, found by running fleet-plan with an
actual gitops-role token instead of guessing.
With that token, Fleet 4.90.1 answers:
GET /software/titles 200 (20 titles)
GET /software/titles/{id} 403
GET /software/fleet_maintained_apps 200 (categories field is null throughout)
GET /teams and GET /fleets 200, fleet_maintained_apps: []
So the apps are inferred from the titles list, but the endpoint carrying their
categories is refused. The live value is therefore unknown, and comparing it as
"[]" produced a categories row for every Fleet-maintained app on every run --
13 of them on the production repo, reproduced locally with the gitops token
before this change.
EnrichFleetAppScripts now marks an app when its title detail could not be read,
and the software diff skips the categories comparison for those apps, reporting
once per team:
fleet-maintained app categories not diffed: API token lacks permission to
read software title details
This mirrors how the install/uninstall script fields already behave (compared
only when both sides are known) and how profiles and software report their own
permission gaps.
Verified against the live instance with both tokens: the gitops token now
reports zero categories rows plus the note, and an admin token still reports
the one real difference (swiftdialog/darwin is categorized in Fleet and has no
categories in the repo).
Also in this change, from review of #60:
- mergeFleetApps fills only the fields a /teams entry omits from the enriched
twin, instead of discarding the enriched entry wholesale. /teams returns no
Fleet-maintained apps on this server, so this is hardening rather than a
live fix -- my earlier claim that it fixed the CI churn was wrong.
- categoriesEqual counts duplicates, so ["Security", "Utilities"] no longer
compares equal to ["Security", "Security"].
The README's limitation note said the gitops role gets 403 on /software/titles
outright; that is stale, and it now records what each endpoint actually
returns.

Superseded premise — please read. I opened this PR claiming
mergeFleetAppswas the cause of the remaining categories churn. That was wrong. With a realgitops-role token in hand I could finally reproduce CI's behaviour locally, and the actual cause is different. This PR now carries the real fix.What the gitops token actually returns
Fleet 4.90.1,
gitopsrole, verified endpoint by endpoint:GET /software/titles(list)GET /software/titles/{id}(detail)GET /software/fleet_maintained_appscategoriesisnullon every one of the 598 entriesGET /teams/GET /fleetsfleet_maintained_apps: []So: the apps get inferred from the titles list, but the only endpoint carrying their categories is refused. The live value is unknown, and #59 compared it as
[]— producing a row for every app, every run. Reproduced locally with the gitops token: 13 rows on bothmainand this branch's first commit.Two hypotheses I tested and discarded along the way:
fleet_maintained_appslist from /teams — no, it's empty for both admin and gitops tokens./teamsbeing stale now that fleets supersede teams (thanks for the idea) —/fleetsexists and returns 200, but with the identical payload and the same empty list, andtitles/{id}?fleet_id=6still 403s. It's an alias, not the cause.categoriesis null throughout the catalog.The fix
EnrichFleetAppScriptsmarks an app when its title detail could not be read; the software diff then skips the categories comparison for those apps and reports once per team:This mirrors what the install/uninstall script fields already do (compare only when both sides are known) and matches how profiles and software report their own permission gaps.
