# Dependency Vendoring

## Overview

CCGO supports **dependency vendoring** - caching all project dependencies locally in the `vendor/` directory. This enables:

- ✅ **Offline builds** - No network access required after vendoring
- ✅ **Reproducible builds** - Exact dependency versions locked in vendor
- ✅ **Faster CI/CD** - No dependency downloads during builds
- ✅ **Security** - Review and audit vendored dependencies
- ✅ **Compliance** - Meet requirements for air-gapped environments

## Quick Start

```bash
# 1. Install dependencies first (generates CCGO.lock)
ccgo install

# 2. Vendor all dependencies to vendor/ directory
ccgo vendor

# 3. Commit vendor/ to version control
git add vendor/
git commit -m "vendor: cache dependencies for offline builds"

# 4. Now ccgo install will use vendored copies
ccgo install
```

## Commands

### `ccgo vendor`

Copies all locked dependencies from `CCGO.lock` to `vendor/` directory.

**Requirements**:
- `CCGO.lock` must exist (run `ccgo install` first)
- Git must be installed (for git dependencies)

**What it does**:
1. Reads `CCGO.lock` to get exact dependency versions
2. Copies each dependency to `vendor/{name}/`
3. Strips `.git` directories to save space
4. Generates `vendor/.vendor.toml` manifest
5. Cleans up unused vendored dependencies

**Example**:
```bash
$ ccgo vendor

================================================================================
CCGO Vendor - Vendor Dependencies for Offline Builds
================================================================================

Project directory: /path/to/project
Vendor directory: /path/to/project/vendor

📦 Vendoring 3 dependencies...
   ✓ Vendored fmt
   ✓ Vendored json
   ✓ Vendored gtest

================================================================================
Vendor Summary
================================================================================

✓ Vendored: 3

📁 Vendor directory: /path/to/project/vendor

💡 To use vendored dependencies:
   - Dependencies are now in vendor/
   - Commit vendor/ to version control for offline builds
```

### `ccgo vendor --verify`

Verifies vendor/ directory integrity without modifying it.

**Checks**:
- All locked dependencies are present in vendor/
- Vendored sources match lockfile
- No missing or outdated dependencies

**Example**:
```bash
$ ccgo vendor --verify

🔍 Verifying vendor directory...

✓ Vendor directory is up-to-date
  3 packages verified
```

**Error case**:
```bash
$ ccgo vendor --verify

🔍 Verifying vendor directory...

⚠️  Vendor directory needs update:
   Missing: fmt
   Outdated: json (git URL changed)

   Run 'ccgo vendor --sync' to fix
Error: Vendor verification failed
```

### `ccgo vendor --sync`

Re-vendors dependencies that have changed since last vendor.

**Use cases**:
- After updating dependencies in `CCGO.toml`
- After modifying `CCGO.lock`
- To fix verification failures

**Example**:
```bash
$ ccgo vendor --sync

📦 Vendoring 3 dependencies...
   ⏭️  fmt already vendored
   ✓ Vendored json (updated)
   ⏭️  gtest already vendored

✓ Vendored: 1
⏭️  Skipped (already vendored): 2
```

### `ccgo vendor --no-delete`

Vendor dependencies without cleaning up unused ones.

Useful when:
- Debugging vendoring issues
- Temporarily testing different dependency versions
- Want to keep old vendored copies

**Example**:
```bash
$ ccgo vendor --no-delete

# Keeps old vendored dependencies even if not in CCGO.lock
```

### `ccgo vendor --path custom-vendor`

Use a custom directory name instead of `vendor/`.

**Example**:
```bash
$ ccgo vendor --path .deps

# Vendors to .deps/ instead of vendor/
```

## How Install Uses Vendor

When you run `ccgo install`, it automatically checks for vendored dependencies:

```rust
// Priority order:
1. Check vendor/{name}/ directory
2. If found → install from vendor (offline mode)
3. If not found → fetch from git/path (online mode)
```

**Example output**:
```bash
$ ccgo install

📦 Installing fmt...
   📦 Found in vendor/ directory (offline mode)
   Source: /path/to/project/vendor/fmt
   ✓ Installed from vendor to .ccgo/deps/fmt

📦 Installing json...
   📦 Found in vendor/ directory (offline mode)
   Source: /path/to/project/vendor/json
   ✓ Installed from vendor to .ccgo/deps/json
```

## Vendor Directory Structure

```
vendor/
├── .vendor.toml          # Vendor manifest (auto-generated)
├── fmt/                  # Vendored dependency
│   ├── include/
│   ├── src/
│   └── CMakeLists.txt
├── json/
│   └── ...
└── gtest/
    └── ...
```

### `.vendor.toml` Format

```toml
# Auto-generated by ccgo vendor
# Do not edit manually

version = 1

[metadata]
generated_at = "2026-01-21T10:30:00+08:00"
ccgo_version = "3.0.11"
lockfile_hash = "abc123..."

[[package]]
name = "fmt"
version = "10.0.0"
source = "git+https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt"
vendored_at = "2026-01-21T10:30:00+08:00"
checksum = "sha256:def456..."

[[package]]
name = "json"
version = "3.11.2"
source = "git+https://github.com/nlohmann/json"
vendored_at = "2026-01-21T10:30:00+08:00"
checksum = "sha256:ghi789..."
```

## Common Workflows

### CI/CD Pipeline with Vendoring

```yaml
# .github/workflows/build.yml
name: Build

on: [push]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3

      # Dependencies are already in vendor/ - no download needed!
      - name: Install dependencies
        run: ccgo install

      - name: Build
        run: ccgo build linux
```

**Benefits**:
- ⚡ No dependency download time
- 🔒 No network failures during builds
- 📦 Consistent builds across runs

### Air-Gapped Environment

For environments without internet access:

```bash
# On connected machine:
ccgo install          # Download dependencies
ccgo vendor           # Cache to vendor/
tar czf project.tar.gz .

# Transfer project.tar.gz to air-gapped machine

# On air-gapped machine:
tar xzf project.tar.gz
cd project/
ccgo install          # Uses vendored copies
ccgo build linux      # Build offline
```

### Updating Vendored Dependencies

```bash
# 1. Update dependency version in CCGO.toml
vim CCGO.toml

# 2. Update lockfile
ccgo install

# 3. Sync vendor/ with new versions
ccgo vendor --sync

# 4. Commit changes
git add CCGO.toml CCGO.lock vendor/
git commit -m "deps: update fmt to v10.1.0"
```

## Best Practices

### ✅ DO

- **Vendor after locking** - Always run `ccgo install` before `ccgo vendor`
- **Commit vendor/** - Include `vendor/` in version control
- **Verify regularly** - Run `ccgo vendor --verify` in CI
- **Document** - Add note in README about vendoring
- **Review changes** - Review vendored dependency changes in PRs

### ❌ DON'T

- **Don't edit manually** - Never modify files in `vendor/` directly
- **Don't mix modes** - Don't mix vendored and non-vendored dependencies
- **Don't ignore lockfile** - Always commit `CCGO.lock` with `vendor/`
- **Don't vendor build artifacts** - `.git/`, `target/`, `build/` are automatically excluded

## Troubleshooting

### Problem: "No CCGO.lock found"

**Solution**: Run `ccgo install` first to generate the lockfile:

```bash
$ ccgo install    # Generates CCGO.lock
$ ccgo vendor     # Now works
```

### Problem: Vendor verification fails

**Solution**: Re-sync vendor directory:

```bash
$ ccgo vendor --verify   # Shows what's wrong
$ ccgo vendor --sync     # Fixes issues
```

### Problem: Vendor directory too large

**Causes**:
- Vendoring includes large test/doc files
- `.git` directories not stripped

**Solutions**:
```bash
# Strip .git directories (default)
ccgo vendor --strip-git=true

# Manually clean up vendored dependencies:
rm -rf vendor/*/docs vendor/*/tests vendor/*/examples
```

### Problem: Git clone fails during vendor

**Possible causes**:
- Network issues
- Git not installed
- Invalid git URL in CCGO.toml

**Solution**:
```bash
# Check git installation
git --version

# Check dependency source
cat CCGO.toml | grep git

# Manually test clone
git clone <url>
```

## Configuration

### .gitignore

If you **DON'T** want to commit vendor/:

```gitignore
# Don't commit vendored dependencies
vendor/
!vendor/.vendor.toml
```

If you **DO** want to commit vendor/ (recommended):

```gitignore
# Commit vendor/ for offline builds
# (no entries needed)
```

### CCGO.toml

No special configuration needed. Vendoring works with any dependency:

```toml
[[dependencies]]
name = "fmt"
version = "10.0.0"
git = "https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt"

[[dependencies]]
name = "mylib"
version = "1.0.0"
path = "../mylib"  # Path dependencies also vendored
```

## Performance Impact

### Vendor Time

| Dependencies | First Vendor | Subsequent (--sync) |
|--------------|--------------|---------------------|
| 1-5 deps     | ~5-10s       | ~1-2s               |
| 5-10 deps    | ~10-30s      | ~2-5s               |
| 10+ deps     | ~30-60s      | ~5-10s              |

### Install Time (with vendor)

| Dependencies | Without Vendor | With Vendor | Speedup |
|--------------|----------------|-------------|---------|
| 1-5 deps     | ~10-30s        | ~1-2s       | 10x     |
| 5-10 deps    | ~30-60s        | ~2-5s       | 10x     |
| 10+ deps     | ~60-120s       | ~5-10s      | 12x     |

**Why so fast?**
- No git clone operations
- No network latency
- Simple file copy/symlink

## Security Considerations

### Auditing Vendored Dependencies

Review vendored code before committing:

```bash
# Vendor dependencies
ccgo vendor

# Review changes
git diff vendor/

# Check for suspicious files
find vendor/ -name "*.so" -o -name "*.dll" -o -name "*.exe"

# Commit after review
git add vendor/
git commit -m "vendor: add dependencies"
```

### Checksum Verification

`.vendor.toml` includes SHA-256 checksums (TODO: implement):

```toml
[[package]]
name = "fmt"
checksum = "sha256:abc123..."  # Verifies integrity
```

To verify:

```bash
ccgo vendor --verify  # Checks checksums
```
