shared-stash

A deny rule: it refuses a bare stash push or pop, on a stack every worktree shares, and names what to run instead.

What it catches

A bare stash push or pop, on a stack every worktree shares.

Why

The stash stack is shared across every worktree of a repository, so a bare pop can take an entry another session pushed, and a bare push can bury one. Prefer a temporary commit to set work aside. If you must stash, push with a unique -m tag, capture your entry's SHA, and restore with apply <sha> rather than pop.

Seeing it

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

deny [shared-stash]: ...

magus describe rule shared-stash 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.

Op

A single tool-native command a target composes (long form: operation); the middle of the work hierarchy (Spell to Op to Target). See operations.

Session

An agent host's conversation, by the id the host delivers to its hooks. magus never mints one: a record with no session is unattributed, and the OS user it carries says whose account ran it.

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.

Conventions

Placeholders

Angle brackets mark a value you replace with your own - never type the brackets:

magus run <target>
magus completion <shell>    # e.g. bash, zsh, fish

<target>, <path>, <shell>, <name> and the like are stand-ins, not literal text.
