  • Use appDestPath instead of appPath so patches work on AppX installs.
  • Group patches by file to read/write each target file only once (preserving INI order), and only log status after writing succeeds.
  • Fix replace-once replacing the wrong occurrence by using FindStringSubmatchIndex + ExpandString instead of strings.Replace.
  • Warn on unmatched patterns and orphan _repl_ keys instead of always printing is patched.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Patch rules can apply multiple changes to the same file in first-seen order.
    • Replace-all operations report match counts; replace-once operations support capture groups and change only the first match.
  • Bug Fixes
    • When both replacement modes are configured, replace-all takes precedence.
    • Missing files and directories are skipped, and warnings identify orphan replacement keys or patterns with no matches.
  • Improvements
    • Missing or empty replace-once matches are skipped with warnings.

📝 Walkthrough

Patch groups valid find-and-replace rules by asset filename, then applies them in first-seen file order. It reports invalid or orphaned rules, missing assets, and match results.

Changes: Patch processing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Patch task grouping
src/cmd/patch.go
A private type stores compiled patch data. Patch groups valid find rules by filename, selects replace-all when both replacement variants exist, and warns about invalid or orphaned rules.
Patch application and reporting
src/cmd/patch.go
The command looks up each grouped asset once and skips missing files and directories. Replace-all reports match counts and warns when no pattern matches. Replace-once expands capture groups and replaces only the first match, with warnings for missing or empty matches.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1055a

A patch may be reported as applied when saving fails, and insertion-style replace-once patterns are skipped. Fix these before merge if those cases must work reliably; otherwise the remaining risk is limited.

Report patch success only after ModifyFile reports success.

utils.ModifyFile invokes the callback before os.WriteFile. The callback currently prints success, so a write failure can occur after the command reports that the rule was patched. Buffer the messages and print them only when ModifyFile returns without an error.

Allow zero-width replace-once matches.

If a find pattern is ^, FindStringSubmatchIndex returns equal offsets. This branch skips a valid insertion and leaves the asset unchanged. Remove the empty-match check; ExpandString and the single substitution at Line 106 can handle equal offsets.
