Conversation
Gating ``vale sync`` on reStructuredText files alone meant a commit that only bumped the pinned ClearProse package left the gitignored ``styles`` directory on the old rules until the next reStructuredText change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

The
vale synchook was gated ontypes_or: [rst], so a commit that only touched.vale.ini(bumping the pinned ClearProse package, say) never triggered a sync. The gitignoredstyles/tree could stay on the old rules until the next reStructuredText change, meaning local Vale runs applied rules that did not match the committed config.The hook now matches
.rstfiles and.vale.ini, so a package bump takes effect straight away.Verified locally:
prek run vale-sync --files .vale.iniruns the hook rather than skipping it, and it still runs for.rstfiles.🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Pre-commit hook selection only; no runtime app or security impact.
Overview
The
vale-syncpre-commit hook no longer relies only ontypes_or: [rst]. It now uses afilesregex so it runs when.rstfiles or.vale.iniare in the commit.That way a ClearProse (or other package) bump in
.vale.inirefreshes the gitignoredstyles/tree immediately, instead of leaving local Vale on stale rules until the next RST edit.
