Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added --ensure to pin-conda-envs and update-conda-envs for checking package version constraints.
  • Added --only-if-ensure-is-unsatisfied to skip pinning or environment updates when the existing resolved versions meet the specified constraints.
  • Reports an error when newly resolved versions do not satisfy the constraints, and rejects invalid constraint formats.

• Documentation

  • Added guidance and examples for checking constraints and conditionally updating environment pins.

Walkthrough

The CLI now accepts package version constraints for Conda environment updates and pinning. Processing checks resolved package versions, supports conditional updates and pinning, and reports unmet constraints. Documentation and tests describe and validate this behavior.

Changes: Conda Ensure Constraints

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Parse and pass ensure constraints snakedeploy/client.py, snakedeploy/conda.py, tests/test_conda.py	Both Conda commands accept --ensure constraints and --only-if-ensure-is-unsatisfied. The entry points parse constraints and pass them to processing. Tests cover version matching and malformed constraints.
Check constraints during updates snakedeploy/conda.py, snakedeploy/exceptions.py	Environment processing checks package versions before and after updates. It supports conditional updates, collects errors, and includes the environment path in constraint errors.
Check constraints during pinning snakedeploy/conda.py, tests/test_conda.py, docs/workflow_developers/update_conda_envs.rst	Pinning checks existing and newly resolved pin contents. It can skip regeneration when an existing pin satisfies the constraints. Tests and documentation cover pinning outcomes and option behavior.

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 7833a

Repeating --ensure silently discards earlier constraints, and a failed pinning step can still publish a pull request with only the YAML change. Fix both and the documentation typo before merging.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title clearly and concisely describes the main change: adding the --ensure option to pin-conda-envs for package version constraints. The broader update-conda-envs support is additional scope, so its omission does not make the title misleading.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 12.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 25 functions across 4 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

🟠 Major · Run the ensure check when an existing environment has no updates. · conda.py:147-150

snakedeploy/conda.py:147-150
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Run the ensure check when an existing environment has no updates.

With the default update_envs=True, an unchanged environment with an existing pin does not call update_pinning. A newly supplied --ensure constraint is therefore never checked. Include ensure in this decision so the existing pin is checked even when the environment definition has not changed.

Update the condition guarding the pinning flow around update_pinning to include
the ensure constraint, so an unchanged existing environment with an existing pin
still performs the ensure check when update_envs is enabled. Preserve the
current behavior for pin_envs, environment updates, and missing pin files.
