Generate into the same folder again: a run beside an earlier one takes a number - #246
Generating into the same output directory again no longer needs a new folder for every run.
A second run into a directory was refused, because the manifest of the first run is the only record able to remove its files. That refusal stays the default on the command line. A run may now instead be added beside the earlier one:
every name of the run, its manifest's too, gets the same number: files-2_0001.pdf, invoice_0001-2.pdf, 10mb_under_1kb-2.bin, manifest-2.json
the number is the smallest at which every name the run would write is free, counted from the manifest rather than from the names that collide. A name an earlier manifest still lists is never written again while that manifest lies in the folder, so one run's cleanup can never reach another run's files
the bytes are the ones an empty folder gets: no seed, label or generator sees a file name
nothing already in the folder changes

Add beside earlier runs under the output directory on Single batch, Presets and Several batches. On by default, carried between the screens and remembered with the folder, cleared by Forget
Where the number goes: after the batch in a name the tool builds (so one run's files sort together), and before the ending in a name somebody wrote whole (a template or a preset).
A number that makes a name too long
The filename-handling preset has a name of exactly 255 bytes, because that is its question. A number would make it 257. Such a run is refused with NumberTooLongError, exit 5. The message says the number made the name too long and suggests an empty folder. The name is not shortened, because a shorter name would answer a different question under the same entry. The window places the refusal under the output directory, with Open folder.
Smaller changes along the way
The three copies of the output directory box and its OutDir/SetOutDir methods are one component, outputFolder.
Run hands the number, the record forecast and the preflight to mayStart. The directory is listed once for both the number and the preflight, and the branching ceiling drops from 22 to 21.

In both comparisons the ranges overlap, so the cost of the number does not stand out from the timing noise. No difference in peak memory showed either.
Verified
13 new guards: 11 in numbering_test.go and numberswitch_test.go, plus the CLI and window ones. Each was broken once by hand and went red, or carries its own canary.
One lasting mutation entry, because the guard protects users' files: a manifest that no longer holds its number. Eight existing entries were repointed to the code they now guard, and every mutant of the branch compiles.
Commit gate green. All six presets were dry-run with the number. Only filename-handling is refused, as described above.
54 stored screens were redrawn and reviewed.
Not verified: the real window clicked by hand, and the scale measurement on Linux and macOS. The guards run there in CI.
Added an option to number output filenames and manifests when generating alongside earlier runs, while leaving existing files unchanged. The option is enabled by default in the desktop app and can be enabled in the command line.
Numbering skips occupied names; runs are refused if a numbered filename would exceed the length limit.
The desktop app remembers this setting and carries it between generation screens.
A second run into an output directory was refused, because the manifest of
the first is the only record able to remove its files. In the window that
meant choosing a new folder for every run.
- engine.Options.NumberIfTaken: the run takes the smallest number at which
every name it would write is free, its manifest's included, and carries
it on every name - files-2_0001.pdf, invoice_0001-2.pdf, manifest-2.json.
Counted from the manifest rather than from the names that collide, so a
name an earlier record still lists is not written again while that record
lies in the folder. The bytes are the ones an empty folder gets.
- A number that makes a name too long for a file name refuses the run with
NumberTooLongError, exit 5, rather than shortening a name that was asked
for at the limit.
- tfg generate --number-if-taken, off unless given.
- The window: Add beside earlier runs under the output directory on the
three work screens, on by default, carried between them and remembered
with the folder. The output directory box and its two methods are one
component instead of three copies.
- The directory is listed once for choosing the number and for preflight.
Measured on a plan of a million files into a folder of a hundred thousand:
the cost of the number stays inside the spread of the timing, and a second
run of a hundred thousand files took as long as the first.

Choosing a number moved the forecast of the record and the preflight into
mayStart, the output directory box and the carrying of it between screens
into outputFolder, and realigned two option literals. Each entry now breaks
the same thing where it lives today, and the branching ceiling entry follows
the ceiling down to 21.

Walkthrough
The change adds optional numbering for generated filenames and manifests when names are already present in the output directory. It adds CLI and desktop-window settings, checks numbered names against the filename length limit, and updates documentation, localization, and tests.
Changes: Numbered output runs
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Select and apply run numbers internal/engine/engine.go, internal/engine/numbering.go, internal/engine/preflight.go, internal/engine/record.go, internal/guard/numbering_test.go, internal/guard/mutation/*, internal/guard/branching_test.go, internal/guard/mutationcoverage_test.go
The engine selects the first available number for planned files and record names. It updates planned names and manifest options, records the number, and returns an error if a numbered name exceeds the length limit. Tests cover preserved files, occupied slots, manifest instructions, dry runs, and refusal cases.
Expose numbering in the CLI internal/cli/*, internal/guard/numbering_test.go, README.md, CHANGELOG.md
The CLI adds the opt-in --number-if-taken flag and maps overlong numbered names to ExitIO. The documentation describes numbering, existing-file preservation, and refusal cases.
Add and remember the window setting internal/gui/window/*, internal/gui/run_cgo.go, internal/gui/text/*, internal/guard/numberswitch_test.go, internal/guard/remembered_test.go, internal/guard/formcolumns_test.go, internal/guard/guitext_test.go, internal/guard/settingslot_test.go, internal/guard/testdata/screens/*, internal/guard/window_test.go, README.md
The work screens share an output-folder control and pass its toggle to the engine. The setting is carried between screens, saved and restored with preferences, and reset by Forget. The screen fixtures, translations, and tests cover the new control and its behavior.

Numbered runs behave as documented in the common case. In a narrow case, a run with a different target ID can plan a file name that an earlier retained manifest still lists after the file was deleted. Both manifests then list that name. This is worth knowing about, but it does not block merging.

The title names the main change: generated output can now go into a folder that already holds an earlier run, with the new run receiving a number. It matches the changeset's numbered-run feature. The title does not follow a specific prefix or key requirement, but the configured requirements only ask for a plain-language, specific title under about 140 characters. The title is 79 characters and is specific.
Full details: Tests For Changed Behavior
Explanation
The PR changes runtime behavior outside the UI. The changes are in internal/engine/numbering.go (new), engine.go, preflight.go, record.go, and internal/cli/generate.go and errors.go. The PR adds --number-if-taken, name numbering, manifest-based collision checks, and NumberTooLongError with exit code 5. Test coverage exists for this behavior: - internal/guard/numbering_test.go adds 8 test functions. They cover earlier files staying unchanged, names listed by an earlier manifest not being rewritten, number placement, free directories, occupied slots, instructions following the numbered manifest, CLI opt-in, and overlong names refused before any write. - internal/guard/numberswitch_test.go adds 2 GUI tests for the switch on each screen and its persistence. - formcolumns_test.go adds a check that the switch turns off before the existing refusal test previews. - mutation/entries.py adds a mutation probe for the manifest-held-names guard. No test function was deleted. The keptInMemory helper in window_test.go was moved to remembered_test.go. It was extended with number-switch methods. I found no added t.Skip calls. The formcolumns_test.go change adds an assertion and does not weaken one. The branching_test.go ceiling tightens from 22 to 21. The mutation-table edits repoint existing entries and keep their test names. The author-visible claims in the description were not verified by hand. The description states this openly. That does not affect this check, because the check asks for tests, and tests exist.

The t.Errorf messages in the new tests are assertion output, not debug output. The modified .png fixtures are binary screen captures. They are outside the text-based categories of this check.
Full details: No Hardcoded Ui Styling
Explanation
The PR touches GUI code (internal/gui/window/*.go, internal/gui/text/screens.go, run_cgo.go), so the check applies. The added Go UI code sets no literal colors, fonts, font sizes, margins, paddings, sizes, or corner radii on individual controls. - The new switch is built through the shared fields.AddToggle helper (internal/gui/window/destination.go, numberField). Its label and tooltip come from text.FieldNumberIfTaken() and text.DetailNumberIfTaken(), which the locale files supply. - The PR consolidates three copies of the output-directory box and its OutDir/SetOutDir methods into one outputFolder component. This reduces copy-paste rather than adding it. - No literal styling values appear in the added Go lines. A search of the internal/gui/ additions for color, font, size, padding, margin, radius, and numeric literals found only locale text and comments. The internal/guard/testdata/screens/*.xml files contain literal pos/size/radius values. These are regenerated golden renderings of the layout (the description says 54 stored screens were redrawn). They record output from the shared layout engine and are not hand-written styling on controls, so I did not count them as a violation.
Full details: No Obvious Performance Problems
Explanation
No clear, concrete performance problem is introduced or touched by this PR. What I checked: - Numbering loop (internal/engine/numbering.go, runNumber). The loop tries n = 1, 2, … and calls recordFree and filesFree. Both use map lookups through listing.holds, and filesFree stops at the first collision. The directory is read once through listOnce. In a directory of earlier runs of the same plan, the first file collides at once, so each tried number costs O(1). The worst case is O(numbers × planned files), and it needs an unusual directory where each taken number collides only near the end of the plan. The author did not bound this case, but it is speculative and not a clear defect. - Directory listing (internal/engine/preflight.go). Before this PR, namesIn ran once in preflight. Now mayStart calls it once through listOnce, and numbering and preflight share that result. No extra listing or per-file external call was added. - Per-file work.numberFits and the rename loop are single O(N) passes. Result.mayStart and numberIfTaken make no per-item external calls. - UI thread (internal/gui/window/run.go).engine.Run is called from worker goroutines for both preview and run (around lines 469 and 644). The new destination.go and outputFolder code only moves widget values. The PR adds no blocking I/O to the UI thread. - PR measurements. The description reports dry-run timings with and without numbering, and the ranges overlap. It also reports 0.13–0.15 s for a folder with 10,001 manifests. These do not show a regression. No warning applies under the custom check's criteria.
Full details: Desktop Robustness
Explanation
Desktop robustness check: no failure condition from the check is introduced by this PR. I read the changed GUI, engine and CLI code in the reviewed range. - Assets and paths: no new relative asset loading. The new numbering code works on the output directory the user chose. The destination code reuses the existing startingDirectory(). - Settings persistence: the only new setting is numberIfTaken, a boolean written with the existing prefs.SetBool through RememberNumbersIfTaken. It is saved in closing.leave() before Close, which is synchronous. It is cleared by Forget through the ours list. The change adds no new file write path and no parsing of corrupted data. BoolWithFallback(keyNumbers, true) covers a missing key. - Culture: the number is an int, formatted with strconv.Itoa in numbering.go. Nothing is parsed or saved through a locale-dependent format. - Long operations: runNumber and filesFree run inside the existing mayStart path. That path already ran PredictRecord and preflight on the same run, and filesFree checks ctx.Err() every 4096 files. The GUI run and preview paths are the existing ones, with their existing busy guards. The PR adds no new goroutine and no new background work. - Destructive actions: the feature adds files and never removes or overwrites them. The PR states that existing files are unchanged, and the numbering only chooses free names. No confirmation is needed for this change. - Privileges, network: no change. No admin rights and no new network calls. Residual note outside the listed conditions: numbering is on by default in the window. This is a behavior choice, not one of the listed robustness failures.
Full details: Safe File Parsing
Explanation
The PR adds no new file parser, importer or exporter. I checked the diff range (base to head) for file I/O, decoding and archive/CSV/XML/YAML APIs. - New production code (internal/engine/numbering.go, preflight.go, record.go, engine.go, internal/gui/window/*, internal/cli/*): The only disk read is namesIn, which calls os.ReadDir to list directory entry names. That function already existed. listOnce only memoizes it. Numbering works on names alone. It does not read manifest contents, so no manifest is decoded. - Path handling: Numbered names come from Plan output, which already passes checkFileName. The number adds only - plus digits, with no separator. Paths are built with filepath.Join(opt.OutDir, …), as before. The manifest name is built the same way with -n inserted before .json. No new traversal surface was found. - Deserialization and parsing: No new json.Unmarshal, json.NewDecoder, xml, YAML, CSV, XLSX or archive code was added. The existing manifest reader in internal/manifest/read.go is unchanged, and internal/manifest is not in the changed-file list. - Export and formula safety: No CSV or XLSX writing was added. - Changed locale and screen fixtures (en.json, pl.json, said/*.json, testdata/screens/*.xml): These are static strings or test fixtures, loaded by existing code. - Tests:os.ReadDir, os.ReadFile and os.Remove appear only in internal/guard/numbering_test.go, operating on test temp directories. - Mutation entries (entries.py): These edit mutation-test text only. - Hang/crash on huge input:runNumber loops over candidate numbers. It checks ctx.Err(), and filesFree stops at the first collision. This is not file parsing, and the check does not require a finding here. Nothing in the diff matches a failure condition of the Safe file parsing check.
Full details: System Changes Are Reversible
Explanation
The check applies only when the PR adds or changes code that modifies system state in the listed categories: network filters or rules, proxy, firewall, system time, process hooking or injection, Windows services, registry, or drivers. The changed-file inventory and the added lines show none of these. A keyword search of the added lines for registry, HKEY, winreg, service, firewall, proxy, systime, hook, inject, driver, netsh and iptables found no matches. The PR changes application output and settings: - internal/engine/numbering.go (new) and related engine files: numbered output filenames and the manifest inside a user-chosen output directory. This is file output, not one of the listed system-state categories. - internal/gui/run_cgo.go: a new numberIfTaken key in the app's own preferences store (stored, default true). It is persisted through the toolkit's Preferences API, not the Windows registry or any system setting. Forget clears it, as it does for the existing keys. - GUI window and screen changes, locale text, test fixtures and mutation entries. No listed system-state category is touched, so the check does not apply and the PASS is for inapplicability.
Full details: No Resource Leaks
Explanation
The PR adds no code that leaks or accumulates resources over time, based on the diff at refs/coderabbit/pre-merge-check/base..head. - Engine (numbering.go, preflight.go, record.go, engine.go): The new code is pure name computation. It opens no files, streams, processes, or handles. numberIfTaken renames planned files in place and does not copy them. listOnce returns a closure that memoizes one namesIn listing. That closure and its map are local to a single mayStart call and are released when the run ends. namesIn is pre-existing code and is only called from the memoized path. runNumber loops over candidate numbers, and its loop exits on the first free number or on ctx cancellation. res.RunNotes gains one entry per run. - GUI (destination.go, remembered.go, closing.go, open.go, run_cgo.go): The additions are getters and setters for the numberIfTaken preference, an outputFolder struct holding an entry and a toggle, and carryDestination. None of these registers a subscription, binding, timer, or goroutine. The closing.leave change calls one extra preference write when a window closes. - CLI (generate.go, errors.go): A boolean flag is added and forwarded to Options. Nothing is opened. - Tests and fixtures: These do not run in production. Their changes do not affect runtime resources. The only memory growth is the directory listing, which is proportional to the directory size and is freed after each run. Its use is the same as the existing preflight listing. I found no unbounded cache, queue, or log.
Full details: Scope, Duplication And Docs
Explanation
The PR meets the scope, duplication and docs criteria. Docs and CHANGELOG: The diff updates both files. README.md adds a --number-if-taken row to the generate flag table and a window section on Add beside earlier runs. CHANGELOG.md adds an Unreleased "Added" entry. The locale files add the new labels. The user-visible CLI option and window switch are documented. Scope: The PR description covers the feature and the refactors. It names the outputFolder consolidation, the mayStart change, the branching ceiling change from 22 to 21, the eight repointed mutation entries, and the 54 redrawn screen fixtures. The Smaller changes along the way section and the Measured/Verified sections account for the non-feature changes. No unrelated work appears in the file list. Duplication: I found no existing numbering or collision helper in the base tree that internal/engine/numbering.go duplicates. The SiblingName helper in internal/core/sibling.go handles a different suffix problem. The new helpers (numberedFile, beforeEnding, withNumber, filesFree) are specific to this feature. I did not verify every helper against the whole repository. Backward compatibility: The CLI default is unchanged. Without --number-if-taken, a second run into a non-empty directory is still refused with the existing behavior. The new preference key numberIfTaken is additive. Stored preferences without the key read as true, so no data migration is needed. The removed OutDir/SetOutDir methods belong to the internal gui/window package, so they are not a public API. The GUI default now numbers a second run where it used to refuse. That is a user-visible default change, but it is not a CLI, config-format or persisted-data break. The CHANGELOG lists it under Added rather than a Breaking section, which matches the check's criteria.
Full details: Clear User-Facing Text
Explanation
The PR changes user-visible text: the generate --number-if-taken help, the window label and tooltip, the en/pl locale strings, and the engine.NumberTooLong and engine.Numbered messages. Most of it passes. The toggle has a tooltip that explains behaviour rather than repeating the label. No button label is vague, and the Polish and English labels match. Three items fail the check: 1. Error message engine.NumberTooLong is hard to read. The English text says: "A file name holds at most %d bytes on some systems, and this one was close to that as it was asked for." "This one" has no clear referent. "As it was asked for" is vague. The message also omits that nothing was written. The code refuses in planning, and the test TestANameTheNumberMakesTooLongIsRefusedBeforeAnythingIsWritten checks that. Users need that fact. 2. CLI help for --number-if-taken does not say what happens without the flag. It says "rather than stopping". It does not name the refusal or exit code 5. The wording is one long clause. It also uses a different name from the window label, with no cross-reference. 3. One concept has three names. The window calls it "Add beside earlier runs". The CLI calls it --number-if-taken. The messages say "number" or "numbered". Neither the CLI help nor the tooltip links the two surfaces. The pre-existing refusal text (engine.CollisionManifest: "Generate into an empty directory or move the old manifest aside") also never names the new switch, so the refusal does not point to the option that avoids it. Minor: the engine.Numbered run note starts in lowercase ("the output directory already holds…"), unlike the other notes.
Resolution
Apply these replacements. 1. engine.NumberTooLong (en), replace the message with: "{{.Dir}} holds files from an earlier run. With number {{.Number}}, the name {{.Name}} is {{.Length}} bytes. The limit is {{.Most}} bytes. Nothing was written. Generate into an empty directory." Make the matching change in said/pl.json. 2. CLI help for number-if-taken (internal/cli/generate.go), replace with: "when --out already holds files from an earlier run, add this run beside it. Each name of this run and its manifest gets a number, such as -2. Existing files do not change. Same as Add beside earlier runs in the window. Without this flag, such a run stops with exit code 5." 3. Name the concept once. Use "Add beside earlier runs" in the window and "number-if-taken" in the CLI. Add the cross-reference to the DetailNumberIfTaken tooltip: "On the command line, use --number-if-taken." Optionally add "or turn on Add beside earlier runs" to engine.CollisionManifest and engine.Collision so the refusal names the remedy. 4. In engine.Numbered, capitalise the first word: "The output directory already holds…". Make the same change in said/pl.json.

# Contributing
## What a change has to satisfy
- **Every change in behaviour comes with a test that fails without it.** A green
suite is not evidence on its own. The question to answer in the pull request
is "which test would go red if this change were undone". Each test in
`internal/guard` is also broken on purpose by an entry in
`internal/guard/mutation/entries.py`, and the `mutation` check on a pull
request runs the entries the change reaches. A new test needs an entry there,
or a line in `internal/guard/mutationcoverage_test.go` saying why it has none.

Learning: No hardcoded UI styling: Only if the PR adds or changes GUI code (XAML, Slint, Fyne, Tkinter, WPF code-behind):
warn if new or changed UI code sets colors, fonts, font sizes, margins, paddings, sizes
or corner radii as literal values on individual controls instead of using shared
tokens/resources/styles/theme, or if it adds copy-pasted controls that should be a
reusable component, style, template or a loop over data. Pass if the PR does not touch UI.

Four things to know before you start:
- **Translate `other`, and leave `description` alone.** The description is a note
to you about where the words appear, and it is generated from the source.
… was written
From the review of #246:
- The window shows a note a run leaves about itself as a line of its own,
and it started with a small letter - the note about the number, and the
one about memory that could not be read. text.Line gives it a capital
unless it opens with a name: a file written past the memory setting is
shown as it is spelt. The command line keeps the small letter after
"note:".
- The refusal of a number too long for a name says nothing was written, and
drops a clause that only made it longer.
- --number-if-taken says what happens without it: exit code 5.
- The guard of the switch holds a refused run to the whole directory rather
than to one name it should not have written.

What changes
Generating into the same output directory again no longer needs a new folder for every run.
A second run into a directory was refused, because the manifest of the first run is the only record able to remove its files. That refusal stays the default on the command line. A run may now instead be added beside the earlier one:
files-2_0001.pdf,invoice_0001-2.pdf,10mb_under_1kb-2.bin,manifest-2.jsoncleanupcan never reach another run's filestfg generate ... --number-if-taken, off unless givenWhere the number goes: after the batch in a name the tool builds (so one run's files sort together), and before the ending in a name somebody wrote whole (a template or a preset).
A number that makes a name too long
The
filename-handlingpreset has a name of exactly 255 bytes, because that is its question. A number would make it 257. Such a run is refused withNumberTooLongError, exit5. The message says the number made the name too long and suggests an empty folder. The name is not shortened, because a shorter name would answer a different question under the same entry. The window places the refusal under the output directory, with Open folder.Smaller changes along the way
