mathias 9f4a0dc446 Preserve trailing newlines and restore connections.env via git checkout on down
Fix set_local_db/set_dot_env unconditionally stripping (then forcing)
the file's trailing newline: they now detect whether the source file
originally ended in a newline and reproduce that on write, verified
against both the newline and no-newline cases.

Replace the reverse-toggle computation for connections.env on `down`
with a straight `git checkout`, so the file always ends up
byte-for-byte identical to HEAD instead of relying on toggle logic to
get it exactly right. Both git call sites now go through a shared
helper that checks the process exit status and errors out instead of
silently reporting success on a failed checkout/update-index, with
test coverage against real temporary git repos.

# dev_tools
CLI tool to start and stop a local RCC test environment. It manages a Docker Compose service and toggles environment variable files between local and CI database configurations.
## Prerequisites
- Rust toolchain (stable)
- Docker with Compose plugin
## Configuration
The tool reads from a dotenv-style file at `~/.config/rcc/dev`. The following variables are required:
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| `DOCKER_SERVICE` | Name of the Docker container to check if it is running |
| `DOCKER_DIR` | Path to the Docker Compose directory, relative to `$HOME` |
| `<PROJECT>_DIR` | Absolute path to the project directory (one per project, e.g. `FOO_DIR`) |
Example `~/.config/rcc/dev`:
```
DOCKER_SERVICE=my-container
DOCKER_DIR=repos/docker/local
FOO_DIR=/home/user/repos/foo
```
## Build & Install
```bash
cargo build --release
# or install directly into ~/.cargo/bin
cargo install --path .
```
## Usage
```
dev_tools <project> <up|down>
```
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| `project` | Project key (matches `<PROJECT>_DIR` in the config, case-insensitive) |
| `up` / `down` | Start or stop the environment |
### Examples
```bash
# Start the environment for project "foo"
dev_tools foo up
# Stop it
dev_tools foo down
```
## What it does
1. Starts or stops the Docker Compose service defined by `DOCKER_SERVICE` / `DOCKER_DIR`.
2. `conf/global/connections.env`: `up` toggles it to the CI credentials and marks it `git update-index --assume-unchanged` to avoid accidental commits; `down` unmarks it and restores it to its committed state with `git checkout` (rather than computing the reverse toggle), so it's guaranteed byte-for-byte identical to HEAD.
3. Toggles database connection entries in `<PROJECT_DIR>/conf/local/.env`: `up` switches the connection to `ci`, `down` switches it to `staging`.
## Tests
```bash
cargo test
```
