End every written file with a newline

[gorandodig]

Every file the client writes from an API response now ends with a newline.

What happens now

store_response_files, the one place server-returned files reach the disk, appends a newline to non-empty content that lacks one. Empty content stays empty, None still deletes the file, and an existing newline is not doubled.

The added newline is also written back into response_files. The diffs taken after storing (the fix journal, and the conformance fixes handed to the unit tests fixer) compare that dict with the disk, so without the write-back every rewrite would show a spurious "No newline at end of file" change.

Files are written without newline translation, so native Windows gets the server's line endings instead of CRLF.

Why it happened

Whole-file rewrites come back from the API without their final newline, and the client wrote them as received. Files patched with a diff kept theirs, so only rewritten files lost it.

A unit-test script that gates on a linter's final-newline rule (e.g. RuboCop Layout/TrailingEmptyLines, ESLint eol-last, Ruff W292) then failed every fix round: the fixer added the newline, and the next whole-file rewrite dropped it again. The rounds never converged, and the render ran out of attempts while the tests themselves passed.

How I verified this

• The new tests in tests/test_file_utils.py failed first (3 failed), then passed with the fix. They cover a missing newline being added, an existing one kept, empty content staying empty, None deleting, and a rewrite that drops the newline leaving the file byte-identical, so git and the build-folder hash see no change.

A build folder created before this change keeps its missing newlines until a file is rewritten; that is a one-time change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Non-empty text files written from responses now end with a newline if they were missing one, and the returned response content matches what is stored.
  • Existing line endings, including CRLF, are preserved, and content that already ends with a newline is not changed.
  • Empty content remains empty. A None response still deletes the corresponding file without changing the response mapping.
  • Omitting only the final newline when rewriting a file no longer creates a content change or diff.

📝 Walkthrough

ensure_final_newline adds a newline to non-empty response content when needed. store_response_files writes normalized content without newline translation and updates the response mapping. None values continue to delete files.

Changes: Response-file newline normalization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Normalize response content before writing file_utils.py, tests/test_file_utils.py	store_response_files normalizes non-None content before writing and updates the response mapping. Tests cover newline variants, stored bytes, rewrites, and deletion of files for None values.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The affected persistence scope includes implementation files, conformance-test files, and module memory. Memory inheritance already copies distilled memories between modules; this PR changes their text-ending representation, not the inheritance authority or destination selection.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — API-returned filenames still enter the same path-joining, write, and deletion operations under the caller's filesystem authority. Comparing base and head shows no added destination, privilege, caller, or path-control removal in this writer. This establishes unchanged authority for the delta, not that existing filename handling is independently secure.
