The reconcile choreography (ensureRepo -> merge-check -> ensureBranch ->
checkout('docmost') -> pull -> push) was hand-rolled in the app orchestrator's
driveCycle, duplicating an order the vendored engine owns and could drift from on
upgrade — the failure mode is data clobber. Lift it into @docmost/git-sync as a
single entry point, `runCycle(deps)`. The orchestrator now calls runCycle and
keeps only the lock (its caller) and the gitmost-specific delete-cap POLICY,
injected as the `resolveApplyClient` hook (the engine does the dry-run, hands the
hook the planned delete count — Infinity if planning failed — and uses whatever
client it returns for the apply). driveCycle drops from ~150 lines to ~30.
Tests:
- engine test/cycle.test.ts: composition (merge-in-progress short-circuit;
ensureRepo->ensureBranch->checkout staging order before the pull; the cap hook
is consulted with the planned count; no dry-run when no hook).
- engine test/cycle-roundtrip.test.ts: runCycle against a REAL VaultGit in a temp
repo with a faked Docmost client — a git-originated CREATE flows pull->push and
the assigned pageId is written back; an unresolved merge short-circuits before
any client call.
- orchestrator spec rewired to mock runCycle and assert the wiring + the
resolveApplyClient cap policy (the engine-internal cycle-order/merge tests moved
to the engine).
Validated end to end on a live stand (real Postgres/Redis + server): a git clone
-> edit -> push over the /git remote round-trips the change into the Docmost page
through the refactored cycle.
