# P4LF Session Log — 2026-06-25 (Session 4: Module Path Rename)

## Session Goal

Investigate the `github.com/rcowham` reference seen in `make build-all` output
and determine if corrective action was needed.

## Question Asked

After running `make build-all`, the user noticed:

    -ldflags "-X github.com/rcowham/p4lf/internal/version.SemVer=0.1.0 ..."

This looked like a leftover from the go-libtail research. Was go-libtail being
used after all?

## Finding

**No go-libtail code was ever used.** The `github.com/rcowham` prefix was the
Go *module path* set during `go mod init github.com/rcowham/p4lf` in Session 2.
The module path is just an identifier — it does not cause any code to be
downloaded from GitHub. The `go.sum` contained only:

- `github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify` — file watching (inotify/kqueue)
- `golang.org/x/sys` — syscall support for the above

Neither is from rcowham.

## Decision: Rename Module Path

Since p4lf lives on the Perforce Public Depot (workshop.perforce.com), not
GitHub, the correct module path is `workshop.perforce.com/p4lf`.

Note: `workshop.perforce.com` and `swarm.workshop.perforce.com` are synonymous;
the shorter form is preferred.

If the project ever moved to GitHub, it would be `github.com/ttyler/p4lf` first,
potentially `github.com/perforce/p4lf` later. No current plans for GitHub.

## Changes Made (CL 32824)

- `go.mod`: module path updated
- All `*.go` files with internal imports: `github.com/rcowham/p4lf` → `workshop.perforce.com/p4lf`
- `Makefile`: MODULE and LDFLAGS vars updated

`make check` and `make build-all` pass cleanly. `make build-all` output now shows:

    -ldflags "-X workshop.perforce.com/p4lf/internal/version.SemVer=0.1.0 ..."

Session logs retain the old path as accurate historical record.

## Also Updated

- `ai/AGENTS.md`: refreshed Task for Today to reflect Linux testing is next.

## Status at End of Session

- All source at CL 32824 in `//p4lf/dev`
- `make check`: all tests passing
- `make build-all`: all 4 platforms building cleanly
- Ready for Linux integration testing (see session_log_2026-06-25-3.md checklist)
