generated-write

An advisory: it explains, and blocks nothing, on a hand edit to a declared output, which the next run overwrites.

What it catches

A hand edit to a declared output, which the next run overwrites.

Seeing it

A verdict names its rule in brackets, which is how you got here:

advise [generated-write]: ...

magus describe rule generated-write prints the same entry at a terminal, and magus describe rules lists every rule this workspace enforces.

Glossary

Workspace

The magus root directory that owns a set of projects and shared config; the unit magus operates over. See workspace.

Run

One target executing under one magus invocation, such as magus run test web or magus affected ci. A run keeps its captured output behind an output reference. Every magus run is a run whether or not any job asked for it; see Job for how the two relate.

Advisor

One read-only check from the advice suite: it reads the changeset through magus and writes one titled section of findings. The same advisors run as a pull request comment in CI and inside magus diff --impact locally.
