# test(integration): cross-machine clone fetch (C1-C4)

`217e4ab`·

Soph·1w ago·2 files·+213 added/-0 removed

Cover the clone → fetch → read paths for both checkpoint backends.

- C1 (git-branch, HTTPS): exercise the production fetchMetadataBranchIfMissing path — a clone that lacks the local v1 branch fetches it during pre-push settings resolution, no manual git fetch. Runs over HTTPS because local-path origins can't derive a checkpoint URL.
- C2 (git-refs): a clone with no checkpoint refs reads a checkpoint; the on-demand RefFetcher fetches EXACTLY that ref, leaving an unrelated checkpoint's ref absent until it too is read.
- C3 (git-refs): unreachable remote + locally-missing ref. Documents a KNOWN BUG (regression class 7bbdad09c): explain's git-refs prefix-match remote fallback (explain_export.go:216-227) discards the FetchCheckpointRef error and reports "checkpoint not found", masking an unreachable remote as an absent checkpoint. The test self-heals: it skips while the masking is present and asserts once fixed. No production change.
- C4 (both, HTTPS): reading a checkpoint from a fresh authenticated clone auto-fetches its data with the token (v1 branch on miss for git-branch, the exact per-checkpoint ref for git-refs).

// C. Cross-machine clone → fetch (over HTTPS with token)
// =============================================================================

// TestHTTPS_FetchMetadataBranchIfMissingOnPrePush is test C1: the production
// fetchMetadataBranchIfMissing path, exercised for real. A clone that lacks the
// local v1 branch resolves its pre-push settings; because a checkpoint_remote is
// configured, resolvePushSettings fetches the missing v1 branch from the remote
// before pushing — so the local branch appears without any manual `git fetch`.
// It runs over HTTPS because a local-path origin can't derive a checkpoint URL
// (ParseURL fails and derivation falls back to origin without fetching). git-branch
// only: it asserts on the v1 branch, which git-refs has no equivalent of.
