Sorry, something went wrong.
When ~/.dotfiles contains a Makefile with an install target, run `make install` instead of invoking stow directly. This lets the dotfiles repo own its own deployment logic (directory pre-creation, stow flags, etc.) without requiring OpenBoot to know app-specific details. Priority order: Makefile → stow packages → direct symlinks. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
exec.Command in internal/dotfiles violated the no-direct-exec archtest rule. Add system.RunCommandInDir (mirrors RunCommand but sets cmd.Dir) and use it in linkWithMake. Refresh archtest baselines for the two pre-existing exemptions whose line numbers shifted.
Bare error return was inconsistent with the project convention (fmt.Errorf wrapping) and linkWithStow's error pattern.
Adding 3 lines to linkWithMake shifted the two pre-existing exec.Command exemptions in dotfiles.go; update line numbers in no-direct-exec baseline.
