pushCurrentBranch had four push paths (requested remote, own branch/with upstream, configured upstream, plain push) that called runGit, so on a host with a translated Git (e.g. LANGUAGE=de) the stderr was localized and classifyGitFailure could not recognise the non-fast-forward rejection, leaving the user with a generic failure. The fix routes all four through the existing executeGitWithStableDiagnostics helper, which sets LANGUAGE=C (not LC_ALL, so hooks keep their LC_CTYPE), as other diagnostic-sensitive Git calls already do. One integration test, in the same style as the existing locale tests, pushes a diverged branch to a real bare remote with LANGUAGE=de in the host environment and asserts the error reason is push_rejected_non_fast_forward and every push ran with LANGUAGE=C. It fails on main's GitVcsDriverCore.ts ('de' instead of 'C') and passes with the fix. origin/main merged in cleanly, and the author's approach and commits are kept unchanged.

Fixes #35355

Reproduction on main

Read from the issue, PR, and comments; not executed. 1. Use Git with installed German translations and a working German locale. Launch the T3 server with LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8, and LANGUAGE=de, verifying that the server actually receives those variables; if using scratch translations/locales, preserve GIT_TEXTDOMAINDIR and LOCPATH too. The checked-in e2e launcher requires explicit inheritance of these variables. 2. Create a bare remote and two clones, A and B, tracking main. Commit an unpushed change in A. 3. Add A as a Local folder project in the web client and open Push while the client shows A ahead and Push enabled. 4. Commit and push another change from B, advancing the remote after the client's status read. 5. Confirm Push to main for A. Main should show the generic failure; this PR should show the pull/rebase explanation. Both pushes should remain rejected and leave local and remote refs unchanged.

Evidence

Create repository A tracking a bare origin on main, commit locally, and open Push in the real web client while A is ahead. Advance origin/main from clone B while confirmation is open, then confirm Push to main in A.

Environment on both sides: Linux, Chromium, 1280×800, light theme, fresh isolated T3 databases and replay threads. Real German Git translations with LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8 and LANGUAGE=de; LOCPATH and GIT_TEXTDOMAINDIR explicitly inherited and server environment checked. Capture presentation only: repository paths redacted and toast line clamp removed to show the complete errors. Final screenshots followed pixel-identical frames 500 ms apart.

Proven: scenarios:prove exited 0. Base showed the generic non-zero-exit error. Head showed “The remote has commits this branch doesn't have. Pull or rebase, then push again.” and push_rejected_non_fast_forward. The head reason code was also observed on the WebSocket response. Both rejected pushes left local HEAD and remote main unchanged.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the actual change: a rejected non-fast-forward push should produce its own explanation when Git runs under a translated locale. The changeset routes the four pushCurrentBranch git push calls through executeGitWithStableDiagnostics, which sets LANGUAGE=C, so English classification patterns match. The title is conventional-commit formatted and specific. It is somewhat long at 84 characters, but it is not vague or off-topic.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Directly linked issue #35355 requires non-fast-forward push rejections to classify as push_rejected_non_fast_forward under a translated Git. The whole-PR diff (merge base 60f70d9 to head e8ab307) changes the four push calls in pushCurrentBranch (GitVcsDriverCore.ts) from runGit to executeGitWithStableDiagnostics. The helper sets LANGUAGE=C for those calls, so the existing English classifier can match the rejection text. The diff adds the test 'explains a non-fast-forward push from a host with a translated Git' (GitVcsDriverCore.test.ts). It runs a real push against a remote that moved ahead, with host LANGUAGE=de. It asserts reason push_rejected_non_fast_forward and that every spawned push command has LANGUAGE=C. The PR reports that this test fails on base ('expected 'de' to equal 'C'') and passes with the fix. The diff does not change push arguments, timeouts, or result handling, so the existing 'Pull or rebase' explanation and error flow to the client are unchanged. Two sub-requirements are not directly tested in this PR: (a) refs remain unchanged after a rejected push, which depends on Git behavior and the unchanged arguments; (b) remote-hook rejections remain push_rejected_by_remote under LANGUAGE=C. For (b), the change affects only message language for these calls. I did not inspect the classifier's hook patterns, so this part rests on inference. The 'Evidence' section (app capture) is pending. It is not a coding requirement. The e2e environment and comment-reported results are not coding requirements for this check.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The whole-PR diff changes only two files. GitVcsDriverCore.ts changes the four push invocations in pushCurrentBranch from runGit to executeGitWithStableDiagnostics. Their operation names, arguments, and timeoutMs values are unchanged. GitVcsDriverCore.test.ts adds one regression test for the same push path. Both changes connect directly to #35355. The general Git runner (executeRaw) is not changed, which matches the PR's stated scope. No unrelated behavior change appears in the diff. Uncertainty: I did not re-read the body of executeGitWithStableDiagnostics in this review. Its LANGUAGE-only behavior rests on the PR description and the earlier assessment.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is thorough and covers the problem (translated Git stderr defeating classifyGitFailure), the change (routing all four pushes in pushCurrentBranch through executeGitWithStableDiagnostics to set LANGUAGE=C), scope (links issue #35355 and states it is a bug fix), and verification (a focused regression test that fails on main and passes with the fix, plus repo checks and a real-app proof with screenshots and recordings). It also names the model and harness used, as the template asks. The template's Problem and Change headings are present in substance but not as exact headings, and the reproduction and evidence sections are long, which is a style concern rather than a gap. Nothing required is missing.

The automated pipeline stopped on this pull request and will not merge it:

the capture step could not show the problem on the base commit, so there is nothing to prove fixed.

Created a project and bare remote, pushed the initial main branch, cloned a second working copy, and committed a local change. Opened Push in the web app, advanced the remote from the second clone, then confirmed Push to main. Captured the rejection toast and checked for the pull/rebase explanation. Repeated once with a pre-push hook recording locale variables; none of the requested locale variables reached Git.

It stays open for a person to finish or close.

Note

🤖 Astra 6 responding on behalf of runefoo

If the failed capture used the checked-in e2e runner, its app-command environment explains how the locale can disappear before dev-runner.

At 539211a, the web app.command supplies neither env nor inheritEnv. The pinned e2e 0.23.0 builds its child environment from PATH/HOME/temp-directory/Windows shell defaults, then explicit command.inheritEnv and command.env (dist/run/managed-process.js, childEnv). LANG, LC_ALL and LANGUAGE are not inherited by default.

I executed that exact pure environment builder without starting an app: all three exported locale variables disappeared with the current configuration and survived with this addition to the web app.command:

inheritEnv: ["LANG", "LC_ALL", "LANGUAGE"],

For the scratch locale/catalog setup described in this PR, also include LOCPATH and GIT_TEXTDOMAINDIR in inheritEnv and export their scratch paths; the three-variable example above assumes the locale and Git translations are already installed.

Then the capture runner can receive LANG=de_DE.utf8 LC_ALL=de_DE.utf8 LANGUAGE=de; this narrowly passes locale without forwarding unrelated credentials. This identifies the checked-in launch boundary, not necessarily the unpublished failed capture's launcher.

Separately, real local Git 2.47.3 with its installed German translation reproduced the driver failure using base 34c5faa's exact core source; head 539211a restored push_rejected_non_fast_forward. A real pre-push hook saw de on base and C on head, with LANG/LC_ALL unchanged. Both C controls retained the reason, all pushes remained rejected, and refs stayed unchanged. That comparison used Node 26.13.1 and shared dependencies from main 59e64ee, not two pristine full checkouts.

The app/UI capture remains unverified; no server or model was started.
