What does this PR do?

Extracted from PR #1138 as requested during review.

Building on FreeBSD after syncing with upstream failed with -Werror,-Wunused-function on activation_finish_absent_publish in src/cli/activation_transaction.c.

The function is only invoked from three platform-specific branches: Windows (_WIN32, MoveFileExW), macOS (APPLE, renameatx_np), and modern Linux (linux with SYS_renameat2, via syscall). On every other POSIX target — including FreeBSD and other BSDs — control falls through to the portable linkat(2) fallback, so the helper was defined but never called, tripping -Wunused-function under -Werror.

Rather than excluding FreeBSD by name (which would still break on OpenBSD, NetBSD, DragonFly, Solaris, or any Linux without SYS_renameat2), wrap the function definition in the same #if condition as its call sites. This keeps the guard mechanically tied to actual usage instead of enumerating platforms, so it stays correct as new targets are added.

Checklist

  • Every commit is signed off (git commit -s) — required, CI rejects
    unsigned commits (DCO, see CONTRIBUTING.md)
  • Tests pass locally (make -f Makefile.cbm test)
  • Lint passes (make -f Makefile.cbm lint-ci)
  • New behavior is covered by a test (reproduce-first for bug fixes)

Thanks for opening this — it has been seen, and it is queued.

This note is automated, but it is not a brush-off: it exists so you know where your PR stands instead of having to guess from silence.

Current review status: working through a backlog. 0.9.1-rc.1 is out, so the release freeze that held reviews is over — but it left a large queue of open pull requests behind it, and we are reading through them oldest-first. The background is in discussion #1144.

What that means for this PR, concretely:

  • It will not be closed for inactivity. No stale bot touches pull requests here.
  • It may still sit a while before a human reads it. That is on us, not on you.
  • Older PRs are read first, so a recent one is not being skipped — it is behind a queue.

Things that will genuinely speed it up whenever review does happen:

  • Keep it rebased on main — the tree is moving quickly right now, and a conflicting branch cannot be reviewed as the diff you intended.
  • Get CI green, or say which failures you believe are pre-existing.
  • Keep the change to one claim. Bundled features and refactors get split before they get merged, which costs you a round trip.
  • Every commit needs a sign-off (git commit -s) — CI enforces DCO.

If this fixes a bug, a reproduction we can run is worth more than a description of the symptom.

Thanks for contributing, and sorry in advance for the wait.
