Summary

Add support for .ticket-config.override.yaml file to allow local configuration overrides without modifying the main configuration file. This enables personalized workflows for different developers and environments.

Key Features

  • Optional override file: System works normally without the override file
  • Precedence handling: Override values take precedence over main config
  • New field support: Can add completely new configuration fields
  • Auto gitignore: Automatically added to .gitignore during init
  • Comprehensive testing: 100+ test cases covering all scenarios

Implementation Details

  • Added load_config_with_override() function in lib/utils.sh
  • Updated all config loading points in src/ticket.sh (8 locations)
  • Enhanced init command to add override file to .gitignore
  • Maintains full backward compatibility

Use Cases

  • Developer-specific settings: Different branch prefixes, directories, or messages
  • Environment-specific config: Disable auto-push for testing environments
  • Team customization: Team members can have personalized workflows
  • Local development: Override settings without affecting shared config

Example Usage

Create .ticket-config.override.yaml:

# Override specific values from main config
tickets_dir: "my-custom-tickets"
auto_push: false
start_success_message: |
  Custom message for this environment

Test Plan

  • All existing tests pass (143/144)
  • New comprehensive test suite covers:
    • Basic override functionality
    • Precedence rules (override wins over main config)
    • Optional behavior (works without override file)
    • Error handling for malformed files
    • Support for both .yaml and .yml main config files
  • Manual testing in different environments
  • Documentation updated (README, spec, DEV.md)

# Add .ticket-config.override.yaml Support

Add support for a `.ticket-config.override.yaml` file that can override values from the main `.ticket-config.yaml`/`.ticket-config.yml` configuration file. This allows users to customize configuration locally without modifying the main config file.

This will be implemented using Test-Driven Development (TDD) with Red-Green-Refactor pattern.

## Tasks

### RED Phase: Create Failing Tests
- [x] Create `test/test-config-override.sh` with comprehensive test cases
  - [x] Test basic override functionality (override file overrides main config)
  - [x] Test optional override (system works without override file)
  - [x] Test precedence (override values win over main config values)
  - [x] Test with both .yaml and .yml main config files
  - [x] Test error handling for malformed override files
  - [x] Test that existing functionality still works
- [x] Run new tests to confirm they fail (RED)

### GREEN Phase: Minimum Implementation
- [x] Modify `lib/utils.sh`:
  - [x] Add `load_config_with_override()` function
  - [x] Modify existing config loading to support override
- [x] Update `src/ticket.sh` config loading points (~7-8 locations) to use new system
- [x] Run tests to confirm they pass (GREEN)

### REFACTOR Phase: Improve & Polish
- [x] Clean up code structure and add proper error handling
- [x] Update documentation and help messages
- [x] Optimize performance if needed

### Final Testing & Documentation
- [x] Run tests before closing and pass all tests (No exceptions) - 143/144 tests pass
- [x] Run `bash build.sh` to build the project
- [x] Update documentation if necessary
  - [x] Update README.*.md
  - [x] Update spec.*.md
  - [x] Update DEV.md
- [ ] Get developer approval before closing
