Go rollback and remove in a go.work member stay silent about a stale go work vendor modules.txt, so every workspace build fails with "inconsistent vendoring" #1766
Description
[agent] Found by the scheduled Go modules bug-hunt routine (ledger #317).
Summary
The #343 fix (#1357) warns go_vendor_modules_txt_out_of_sync when a committed vendor directory still records a socket-patch replacement that go.mod no longer has. In a workspace, this only works when the patched module is the go.work root (use .). For any other member (use ./a), go work vendor records the member's replace relative to the workspace root:
# example.com/upstream v1.0.0 => ./a/.socket/go-patches/example.com/upstream@v1.0.0
detect_owner (crates/socket-patch-core/src/vendor/go_mod_edit.rs:88) only treats a target as socket-owned when it starts with ./.socket/go-patches/ or ./.socket/vendor/golang/. So this recorded line counts as user-authored, and the stale check in vendor_modules_txt_issues (crates/socket-patch-core/src/vendor/go_consumer_sync.rs:580, recorded.iter().filter(|r| r.socket_owned())) skips it.
The other direction already works: after apply, the "not recorded" warning fires, because same_replacement does a suffix match for workspaces.
Impact
After rollback or remove in a non-root member of a vendored workspace, both commands exit 0 with no warning, and apply --check says "No patches to check" (exit 0). But every workspace build (go build, go run, go test, which default to -mod=vendor when the workspace has vendor/modules.txt) now fails:
go: inconsistent vendoring in …/ws:
example.com/upstream@v1.0.0: is marked as replaced in vendor/modules.txt, but not replaced in the workspace
The same rollback in a use . root module does warn, which is the documented behaviour.
Repro
Hermetic file GOPROXY, hand-staged .socket/manifest.json plus blob (the tests/e2e_golang_build.rs shape). Go 1.22+ (go work vendor).
# ws/go.work: go 1.22 \n use ./a
# ws/a/go.mod: module example.com/a; require example.com/upstream v1.0.0; main.go prints upstream.Greeting()
# ws/a/.socket/manifest.json + blob patching lib.go PRISTINE -> PATCHED
cd ws && go work vendor
(cd a && socket-patch apply) # warns go_vendor_modules_txt_out_of_sync (correct)
go work vendor && go run ./a # OUT: PATCHED
cd a && socket-patch rollback --json # status success, warnings: none <-- bug
socket-patch apply --check; echo $? # "No patches to check.", 0
cd .. && go run ./a # go: inconsistent vendoring … is marked as replaced in vendor/modules.txt, but not replaced in the workspacesocket-patch remove pkg:golang/example.com/upstream@v1.0.0 behaves the same way. Control: the same steps with use . and the module at the workspace root make rollback warn go_vendor_modules_txt_out_of_sync.
Expected vs actual
- Expected, per docs/ecosystems.md (warning table,
go_vendor_modules_txt_out_of_sync): the warning fires for "a committedvendor/directory (go mod vendor;go work vendorfor a workspace) whosevendor/modules.txt… still records one that was removed", with the fixgo work vendor. - Actual: no warning from rollback or remove when the project is a non-root
usemember. Exit 0, and the workspace no longer builds.
Matrix (Linux)
| go | use ./a member: rollback/remove warn |
use . root: rollback warns |
|---|---|---|
| 1.22.12 | fail (silent, build broken) | — |
| 1.24.7 | fail (3×, rollback and remove) | pass |
| 1.26.8 | fail | — |
| < 1.22 | n/a (no go work vendor) |
n/a |
macOS and Windows: untested (probe branches are blocked in this routine). Vendored mode (.socket/vendor/golang/) goes through the same detect_owner prefix check, so it is likely affected, but I didn't test it (it needs a mock patch service).
The open PR stack #1764/#1765 does not fix it: I built #1765's head (pr1765). There a single-member patch still goes into a/go.mod, and the same repro gives rollback warnings: [] and then "inconsistent vendoring".
Suspect code
crates/socket-patch-core/src/vendor/go_consumer_sync.rs:580: the stale loop filtersrecordedbysocket_owned(). In workspace mode, ownership needs to be judged after stripping the member's directory prefix, relative to the go.work directory (assame_replacementalready does for the forward check).crates/socket-patch-core/src/vendor/go_mod_edit.rs:88:detect_owneris root-anchored by design (a user's../sibling/.socket/…replace must stay user-owned), so the fix belongs in the workspace audit, not indetect_owner.
Tested on main b787454 (5.0.1+171).

[agent] Triage:
priority:p2(Go modules). Confirmed on mainb787454: the stale-record loop invendor_modules_txt_issues(crates/socket-patch-core/src/vendor/go_consumer_sync.rs:580) still filtersrecordedby the root-anchoredsocket_owned(), so ago work vendorline such as=> ./a/.socket/go-patches/...is never judged stale. The forward check already handles this throughsame_replacement. Not a duplicate. No open PR covers it: #1752/#1755 change Go version selection, and #1763–#1765 change the workspace model/writer. It does not share a root cause with #549, which is about go.sum restore aftergo mod tidy.Generated by Claude Code
