fix(hooks): fall back to sha256sum when shasum is not installed - #204
The .gtrconfig trust code hashes command definitions with shasum -a 256. This PR adds a small helper that uses shasum when it exists and falls back to sha256sum otherwise. Both produce the same SHA-256 digest, so existing trust markers stay valid.
lib/hooks.sh: new _hooks_sha256 helper, used for the content hash and the trust key.
lib/commands/init.sh: the generated bash/zsh and fish trust helpers get the same fallback (<func>_sha256), so gtr cd postCd hooks agree with git gtr trust.
Tests: a path_without_command helper in tests/test_helper.bash mirrors PATH without one command. New tests in tests/hooks.bats and tests/init.bats check that trust works without shasum and that the digest matches the shasum one.
Motivation
shasum is a Perl script. Alpine, and Fedora/RHEL with only git-core, ship sha256sum but not shasum. There, the hash is an empty string, git gtr trust fails with mv: ... are the same file, and .gtrconfig hooks never run.
I have performed manual testing on at least one platform
I have updated documentation (README.md, CLAUDE.md, etc.) if needed
My changes work on multiple platforms (or I've noted platform-specific behavior)
I have added/updated shell completions (if adding new commands or flags)
I have tested with both git gtr (production) and ./bin/gtr (development)
No new external dependencies are introduced (Bash + git only)
All existing functionality still works
Additional Context
The init cache schema stays at init=6, so existing shells keep their cached integration until it is regenerated (for example with git gtr init bash). Bumping the schema would also change the setup snippet in the README and help text, so this PR leaves that choice to the maintainers.

Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Improved trusted configuration marker validation across POSIX shells and Fish.
SHA-256 hashing now falls back to sha256sum when shasum is unavailable, and fails safely if neither utility is installed.
Updated shell integration initialization markers to version 7.
Documentation
Updated setup instructions and changelog to reflect initialization marker version 7 and hashing compatibility.
Tests
Added coverage for creating and validating trusted markers without shasum.
Runtime hook trust checks and generated Bash, Zsh, and Fish integrations use SHA-256 helpers that fall back to sha256sum when shasum is unavailable. Shell initialization markers change from init=6 to init=7.
Runtime hook-content and trust-key hashing use a shared SHA-256 helper. Test support and coverage verify trust-marker operations when shasum is unavailable.
Generated POSIX-shell and Fish trust helpers use the same fallback. Tests cover trust checks and Fish postCd hooks without shasum. Initialization markers in help text and the README change to version 7; the changelog records the updates.
The hashing fallback is consistent across integrations, but the new runtime test fails on supported installations without sha256sum. Add the prerequisite skip before merging.

Explanation
Issue #203 requires .gtrconfig trust checks to work when shasum is unavailable and sha256sum is available. The supplied PR evidence shows that lib/hooks.sh adds _hooks_sha256 and routes content hashes and trust keys through it. The generated Bash, Zsh, and Fish integrations in lib/commands/init.sh use equivalent fallback helpers. The supplied test summary reports coverage for trust markers and generated integrations without shasum. These changes cover the issue's hook, defaults.editor, defaults.ai, and gtr cd trust paths.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The fallback helpers, generated integration updates, cache marker updates, and related tests support issue #203. The supplied CHANGELOG.md summary also documents canonicalization of temporary repository paths in an integration test. That topic is unrelated to SHA-256 fallback behavior and is outside issue #203.
Resolution
Remove the unrelated temporary-path canonicalization changelog entry, or move that entry to a separate change focused on the integration-test path fix.

A rabbit checks the hash at dawn When shasum leaves, sha256 carries on Trust markers hold their place Shell hooks run at a steady pace Fresh cache signs greet the day
The existing trusted Fish test inherits the ambient PATH. It does not force shasum to be absent while keeping sha256sum available. The Bash test does not cover the separate generated Fish helper. Add the regression test beside the existing trusted Fish test in tests/init.bats.

The hash-consistency tests in tests/hooks.bats:55 and tests/hooks.bats:67 invoke shasum -a 256 directly. On the PR’s Linux target, those tests fail when shasum is absent, even though the production fallback can use sha256sum. Replace both expected-value calculations with the corresponding portable helper. The test at tests/hooks.bats:72-94 already uses _hooks_file_hash; no production change is required.

…fallback
The generated helpers now hash with the sha256sum fallback, but an existing
cache stamped `init=6` still serves helpers that call shasum directly, and the
documented rc snippet sources it without regenerating. Bump the schema to 7 in
`cmd_init`, the help text and the README.
Add a fish regression test that runs the generated postCd helper with shasum
removed from PATH and sha256sum still available, and a changelog entry.
Rebased onto main after #207 and #211. Those PRs changed the trust key (v3, with repository identity and definition snapshots). The rebase keeps that logic and routes every hash through the sha256sum fallback: _hooks_sha256 in lib/hooks.sh, and __FUNC___sha256 in the generated POSIX and Fish helpers. main already sets the cache schema to init=7 and that isn't released yet, so the schema stays at 7.
The generated trust check now takes the hook definitions as a third argument, so the bash test passes $(gtr_hooks_read_definitions ...) like the generated hooks do. The shasum tests fail on main and pass on this branch. The rest of tests/ matches main here, apart from four tag and _worktree_path_for_ref tests that also fail on main in this environment.

Skip when sha256sum is unavailable.
The test removes shasum from PATH but does not ensure that sha256sum remains available. On supported hosts that provide shasum but not sha256sum, _hooks_file_hash returns failure inside the subshell, so the equality assertion fails.
Suggested fix
@test "trust markers work when shasum is not installed" {
+ command -v sha256sum >/dev/null 2>&1 || skip "sha256sum is not installed"+
cat > "$TEST_REPO/.gtrconfig" <<'EOF'

In the “trust markers work when shasum is not installed” test, check that
sha256sum is available before removing shasum from PATH; skip the test when it
is unavailable so the hash assertion only runs when a supported hashing utility
remains.
