feat(POC): allow editing managed environments locally

[ysndr]

• keep .flox/env/* as source of truth for activations etc.
• imperative commands update local checkout and create new generation
• imperative commands abort if local checkout is semantically different from the current generation
• add flox edit --apply to create a new generation from the current local checkout

Since this is based on an old version of flox, it seems to be using an older version of auth, and I'm not sure how to set up the config to log in to FloxHub to push an environment for testing. Any suggestions for how to get this running?

@ysndr the merge had a bunch of conflicts so you may want to double check it

[ghudgins]

yeah, it's very old. not sure how to get it up and running at this point. forgot it had a service dependency

@ghudgins I merged main so it's at least compiling at this point

[jennymahmoudi]

I can get it running but I'm confused about the scenario to see the different behavior.

managed environments no longer hide the manifest.toml and manifest.lock file

These files doesn't seem to be hidden for remote envs in the current version (1.0.6).

imperative commands abort if local checkout is semantically different from the current generation

How do you get into this state? If I flox push, then make change via flox edit, and then try to flox install, would that be a case where flox would abort?

[ghudgins]

today when you flox push you get a .flox that doesn't have the lock or the manifest. this change would leave those files in place and introduce imperative commands for workflow around edits outside of Flox to those files

a .flox on a remotely managed environment

[jennymahmoudi]

That's what I expected to see, but when I did a flox push with 1.0.6 the manifest toml and lock file were still in my .flox

Maybe I can pair with @ysndr to see it in action when he's back

[ghudgins]

oh wow, you're right. the manifest is there for me on new environments now too
