- `glint explain <RULE>`: new subcommand printing rule description,
rationale, bad-YAML example and fix for every GL001–GL043 rule.
`glint explain` (no arg) lists all rules with ID, severity, title.
Rule IDs are case-insensitive.
- GL042 (rules:if: evaluated reachability): warns when every rules:if:
condition evaluates to false given the values of variables declared in
the pipeline YAML, making the job statically unreachable. Conservative:
only fires when all referenced variables are declared in YAML; predefined
CI_* / GITLAB_* variables are skipped to avoid false positives.
- GL043 (inherit: completeness): warns when inherit: default: is declared
but there is no default: block in the pipeline (dead declaration), or
when the list form names fields not set in the default: block.

Adds project-level configuration and per-job suppression directives:
.glint.yml (searched from pipeline dir up to the git root):
- ignore: [GL007, GL032] — suppress rules globally for the project
- severity: {GL004: warning} — override rule severity (error/warning/ignore)
- stages: [quality] — extra stages beyond the pipeline's stages: block
- token: / url: / cache_dir: — defaults for flags; lower priority than
CLI flags and environment variables
Inline suppression (# glint: ignore):
- Place "# glint: ignore GL007" immediately before a job definition to
suppress that rule for the specific job only
- Multiple rules: "# glint: ignore GL007, GL032" (comma or space separated)
- Wildcard: "# glint: ignore all" suppresses every finding for the job
- Suppressions are scoped to the annotated job; pipeline-level findings
are unaffected
- Parsed from yaml.Node head/line comments in the first parse pass;
stored in Pipeline.Suppressions (root file only, not includes)
New packages: internal/config (Load, walk-up search, .git boundary stop)
New files: cmd/glint/filter.go (applyConfig, isSuppressed helpers)
Tests: config_test.go, parser_suppress_test.go, filter_test.go
Validate fixtures: testdata/config_ignored/, config_severity/, config_suppress/

Bundles three patch releases (v0.2.16–v0.2.18):
v0.2.18 — output formats (--format flag on glint check):
- json: stable JSON report (schema_version: 1, findings array, summary)
- sarif: SARIF 2.1.0 for GitHub Code Scanning / GitLab SAST
- junit: JUnit XML for CI test-report artifacts (artifacts:reports:junit)
- github: GitHub Actions ::error:: / ::warning:: annotation lines
- Unknown --format value exits 2 with a helpful error message
- Summary line routed to stderr in structured formats; context suppressed
v0.2.17 — include resolution improvements:
- Recursive include depth capped at 100 (matches GitLab's own limit)
- project: and component: includes tracked in visited set (cycle detection)
- $[[ inputs.KEY ]] / $[[ inputs.KEY | default(…) ]] substituted from with:
- --cache-dir: persist fetched remote templates to disk (SHA-256 keyed)
- --offline: serve from cache only; defaults to ~/.cache/glint
v0.2.16 — new lint rules (GL034–GL041):
- GL034: services map form requires name; alias must be valid DNS label
- GL035: rules:changes / rules:exists absolute path detection
- GL036: timeout format validation (job-level + default.timeout)
- GL037: id_tokens entries must have an aud key
- GL038: secrets entries must declare a provider (vault / gcp / azure)
- GL039: pages: keyword + artifacts.paths consistency
- GL040: duplicate stage names in stages: list
- GL041: cache.key.files must be exact paths, not globs

Add rule GL033 that warns when every rule in a job's rules: block has
an explicit when: never, making the job permanently excluded from any
pipeline run. This is a pure static check — no if: evaluation or context
required. Only rules with literal when: never trigger it; rules with no
when: (defaults to on_success), when: manual, when: always, or
when: on_failure are treated as reachable.

- Workflow rules now use strict if: evaluation (parse failure → skip rule,
not match); fixes premature matching that blocked later rules and injected
wrong variables into the context
- Single = accepted as alias for == in rules:if: expressions
- File/Line preserved through extends: resolution (lost during YAML
encode/decode round-trip in the resolver)
- Findings sorted by (File, Line, Rule) so same-file issues group together
- All warnings use ruff-style path: [warning] message format (includes,
extends chains, workflow non-start)
- Add --version / -v flag; version shown at top of every --help output
- Build injects version via ldflags using git describe
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Add $VAR / ${VAR} expansion in effective context (ctx.ExpandVars):
iterates up to 10 passes to resolve transitive chains; circular
references are left as-is after the limit.
- Handle non-string YAML scalars (bool, int, float64) in
ExtractStringVars and varValueString via new ScalarString helper;
values like BUILD: true no longer render as "(complex)" or get
silently dropped from the effective context.
- Variable precedence (GitLab spec): pipeline defaults < workflow-rule
vars < CLI --var flags; implemented correctly in enrichContext;
expansion applied after all sources are merged.
- Update README, CHANGELOG, ROADMAP for v0.2.13.

- Finding format now follows file:line: RULEID [severity] message,
matching ruff and other modern linters (GL003 [error] job "x": ...)
- glint check and glint graph default to --branch main --source push
when no context flag is given; rules:if: is always evaluated
- --list-vars flag on both commands prints sorted KEY=VALUE of all
collected variables (YAML, workflow-rule union, effective context)
- CHANGELOG [Unreleased] promoted to [0.2.11]; README badge updated;
ROADMAP marks newly shipped items

Warn when a $VAR or ${VAR} reference in a rules:if: expression is not
declared in pipeline variables:, the job's own variables:, or any
workflow:rules:variables: block. Predefined GitLab CI namespaces (CI_*,
GITLAB_*, FF_*, RUNNER_*, TRIGGER_*, CHAT_*) are always exempt.
Each undeclared variable is reported at most once per job. The finding
is a WARNING (not an error) because variables may also be set in GitLab
CI/CD project settings, which are invisible to glint at lint time.

Every Finding now carries a stable Rule string field with a GL### code.
The ID appears in output between the source location and the message:
[ERROR] job "deploy" (ci.yml:14) GL003: missing required field 'script'
[WARNING] (ci.yml) GL001: no stages defined
Rules:
GL001 no-stages GL002 workflow-when GL003 missing-script

GL007 deprecated-only GL008 invalid-when GL009 delayed-no-start-in
GL010 start-in-no-delayed GL011 invalid-parallel GL012 invalid-retry
GL013 invalid-retry-when GL014 invalid-allow-failure GL015 invalid-interruptible

GL025 invalid-image GL026 invalid-inherit GL027 needs-unknown
GL028 needs-stage-order GL029 needs-cycle GL030 unknown-dependency
GL031 dependency-stage
Changes:
- internal/linter/rules.go: new file with all 31 constants + doc comments
- linter.Finding: add Rule string field; String() inserts it before the
message colon when non-empty; format unchanged when Rule == ""
- All Finding{} literals in linter.go, keywords.go, needs.go,
dependencies.go updated with the correct Rule: constant
- README.md lint rules table: new ID column added to all four sections
- CHANGELOG.md: entry in [Unreleased]

workflow:rules: can define variables: on matching rules (GitLab CI 15.0+).
These variables are now injected into the evaluation context before job
rules:if: expressions are evaluated, making patterns like:
workflow:
rules:
- if: '$CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == "main"'
variables:
DEPLOY_TARGET: production
deploy:
rules:
- if: '$DEPLOY_TARGET == "production"'
work correctly with glint check --branch main.
Changes:
- model.Rule: add Variables map[string]any field (yaml:"variables")
- cicontext.Context: add pinned map tracking which vars must not be
overwritten; New() pins all shortcut and --var variables; add
Inject(key, value) which writes only when key is not pinned
- cicontext.ExtractStringVars: shared helper that converts map[string]any
variable blocks (plain string or {value:...} form) to map[string]string
- cicontext.EvalWorkflow: returns (bool, map[string]string) — the vars of
the matching workflow rule alongside the runs/no-runs result
- cmd/glint/main.go: enrichContext() injects pipeline-level variable
defaults then workflow-rule variables before printContext; applied in
both cmdCheck and cmdGraph
Injection priority (highest wins):
--var CLI overrides > --branch/--tag/--source shortcuts
> workflow-rule variables > pipeline variables: defaults
Adds 15 unit tests (TestEvalWorkflow, TestContextInject,
TestExtractStringVars, TestWorkflowVarsJobEval) and a testdata fixture
(workflow_vars.yml) validated across four branch contexts.

GitLab CI expressions allow unquoted true, false, and integers as
comparison operands (all treated as their string representations):
$GATEWAY_ENABLED == true (equivalent to == "true")
$FEATURE_FLAG == false (equivalent to == "false")
$PARALLEL == 4 (equivalent to == "4")
$ENABLED == 1 / == 0
Previously these fell through to permissive true because parseValue
only recognised $VAR, "${VAR}", quoted strings, and null. Added:
- true/false keyword branch → returns "true"/"false"
- integer literal branch (digits only) → returns decimal string
All three new forms are correctly excluded from longer identifier
prefixes (identByte boundary check). Adds 8 new unit tests.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Four correctness fixes to the GitLab CI expression parser in
internal/cicontext/eval.go:
- Multi-line: \n and \r are now treated as whitespace in skipWS so
block-scalar or folded-scalar if: values with || / && on continuation
lines evaluate correctly instead of falling back to permissive true.
- ${VAR} curly-brace variable syntax now supported in parseValue.
- Regex flags (/pattern/i, /pattern/m, /pattern/s) are now consumed and
translated to Go (?i)/(?m)/(?s) prefixes via applyRegexFlags.
- Variable on RHS of =~ / !~: when the right operand is $VAR, the
variable's value is interpreted as a /regex/[flags] string via
extractRegexFromString; non-regex values fall back to permissive true.
Adds 16 new unit tests covering all four cases and a testdata fixture
(rules_if_expr.yml) exercising multi-line, ${VAR}, and /pattern/i in a
real pipeline with context flags.

Remote includes (include: remote: https://...) were previously skipped
silently in the resolver and rendered as unexpanded leaf nodes in the
graph.
Changes:
- fetcher.FetchURL: new shared unauthenticated HTTP GET helper
- resolver: resolveRemoteInclude fetches the URL, parses YAML, sets job
origin to the URL string, recursively resolves sub-includes, and emits
a warning on failure (lint continues on the rest of the pipeline)
- graph: recurseRemote fetches the URL, captures direct job names, and
recurses into sub-includes so remote nodes expand like local ones
Adds testdata/includes_remote.yml fixture.

parseNeedJobNames is replaced by parseNeedEntries which preserves the
optional flag from each needs: entry. When a referenced job does not
exist and optional:true is set, the finding is now WARNING instead of
ERROR, matching GitLab CI runtime behavior (the dependency is silently
skipped when the job is absent from a conditional include).
Optional missing deps are also excluded from the cycle-detection graph
since there is no real dependency edge to trace.
Adds a fixture case in testdata/needs.yml to prevent regression.

Every finding now carries the source file and exact line number of the job
key in its YAML file. Format: [ERROR] job "name" (file.yml:12): message.
Pipeline-level findings (workflow rules, no stages) reference p.SourceFile.
Cross-file include jobs (local, project, component) carry the include source
as their File, set via Pipeline.SetJobOrigin after each ParseBytes call in
the resolver.
Line numbers come from the yaml.Node key node (exact job-name line) in a
new document-level first pass in ParseBytes, replacing the previous
map[string]yaml.Node approach which only gave value-node lines.
Also: jobs that declare extends: but have no script after resolution now
emit WARNING instead of ERROR. The script may come from a base in a remote
include that was not fetched (no token, offline), making the error a false
positive in common project setups.

Each node in 'glint graph includes' now lists the jobs defined directly
in that file. Jobs appear as rounded Mermaid nodes with a distinct
light-purple style, connected with dashed arrows (-.->). This visual
distinction separates ownership (file -.-> job) from the include
hierarchy (file --> included-file).
The root file's jobs are collected by re-parsing it without include
resolution; local and fetched project/component nodes populate their
job list in the existing recurse* methods.

Variables with value/description/options sub-keys, default.image in map
form, default.before_script / default.after_script as block scalars, and
rules.changes / rules.exists in {paths, compare_to} map form all caused
"yaml: cannot unmarshal !!map into string" because the struct fields were
typed too narrowly.
Changed types in model.Pipeline, model.DefaultConfig, and model.Rule to
accept any to match GitLab CI spec flexibility (13.7+ variable declarations,
15.3+ rules.changes map form, image map form in default block).
Adds testdata/script_multiline.yml covering all these patterns.
