Bootstrap could record failed steps while reporting Completed, exit successfully, and retain desktop reports from an earlier run. Completion, progress, exit status, and regenerated reports now share the current run result, with previous results and steps excluded from optional-only runs labeled explicitly.

Required registry writes and feature queries propagate failures. Unverified installs remain warnings, and prerequisite or report-write failures produce a failed result. Successful saved steps survive retries. Writable desktop reports still publish failures when the setup log or progress directory is unavailable.

Validation: 12 focused Pester tests passed using synthetic files and mocked system operations. Covers failure then successful retry, optional-only execution, state-only failures, unverified packages, report/progress write errors, and registry failures. No live setup operations were run. Independent review found no remaining actionable issues after the report-publication fix.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The bootstrap now derives run outcomes from step state, generates current reports, propagates required operation failures, distinguishes warnings from failures, and exits with the computed result. Tests cover retries, optional-only runs, preview mode, report failures, and registry operations.

Changes

Bootstrap outcomes and failure handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Result aggregation and report generation
modules/BootstrapRun.ps1, tests/BootstrapOutcomes.Tests.ps1
Get-BootstrapRunResult aggregates step states, failed items, warnings, and fatal messages. Report writers consume the result object. Complete-BootstrapRun retries report generation and updates progress.
Run selection and completion wiring
bootstrap.ps1, tests/BootstrapOutcomes.Tests.ps1
The script computes included steps, routes prerequisite failures through completion, completes optional-app runs, skips restart prompts during dry runs, and exits with $runResult.ExitCode.
Required post-install failure propagation
bootstrap.ps1, tests/BootstrapOutcomes.Tests.ps1
Registry writes now stop on errors. Provisioned-app and optional-feature checks record failures. StickyKeys uses the provider-qualified default-user hive path.
WinGet verification outcomes
modules/WinGetInstall.ps1
Unverified packages create WARN entries and set the step status to unverified.
Bootstrap parsing and test setup
tests/BootstrapOutcomes.Tests.ps1
Tests parse selected bootstrap functions, initialize synthetic run state, and provide a logging stub.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 71c0b

Bootstrap output can be harder to interpret and can incorrectly present a completed current-run step as historical around offset changes. Address the report markers and compare timestamps as instants before merging.

Add the required status markers to bootstrap outputs.

Complete-BootstrapRun is now the only report path. The generated reports and C:\Setup\install.log use text status values but do not show ✓, ⚠, and ✗. Add one status formatter and use it in both report writers and Write-Log.

As per coding guidelines, bootstrap.ps1 must create logs that show completed (✓), skipped (⚠), and failed (✗) status.

Compare timestamps as instants.

Get-BootstrapRunResult compares the ISO 8601 strings from Set-StepState with -ge. When their UTC offsets differ, a completed current-run step can be labeled Previous result. Parse both values as DateTimeOffset and add a mixed-offset regression test.

Proposed fix
-            $origin = if ($step.lastRun -and $step.lastRun -ge $RunStartedAt) { 'Current run' } else { 'Previous result' }
+            $origin = if ($step.lastRun -and ([datetimeoffset]$step.lastRun) -ge ([datetimeoffset]$RunStartedAt)) { 'Current run' } else { 'Previous result' }
