Review Hub Canonical Content Here, Before a Carrier Is the One to Read It - #1148
Merged
Conversation
…d It Hub-owned content under .agents/skills/, GOVERNANCE.md, WORKFLOW.md, AGENTS.md and AUDIT.md is written and merged here against a diff of a few lines, and only ever reaches a reviewer as a new file, in full, when a downstream repository carries it for the first time. So the first real read of a rule happens in the one repository that cannot act on it: the tree is manifest-owned, the copy is digest-compared, and a local edit there is drift on the next fidelity check. Every carrier after that re-discovers the same defect, and the finding arrives in a session holding no hub checkout and no standing to test the claim. scripts/canonical_review.py reproduces that read here. A unit is what a reviewer reads whole, one level-two section of a Markdown canonical and one file otherwise, matching the fidelity unit spec/section-model.md declares and the unit key spec/divergences.json already uses. A file the manifest carries by named sections contributes exactly those, so a section this hub keeps for itself is not a unit. Coverage is keyed on content rather than on a commit, so editing a unit retires its pass and editing its neighbor does not. The gate is on what a branch changes. check refuses only the units this branch's own diff moved, measured from the merge-base, so the ordering is fixed going forward without blocking unrelated work on the 283 units nothing has read here yet. Those are a burn-down in reports/canonical-review.md, the way reports/divergences.md carries fidelity. .husky/pre-push runs the check beside its sibling, and the hub's own validate hook runs it on every pull request, which is where it binds, since a push can bypass a hook. The six units this change itself moves carry recorded passes, which raised eleven findings, all fixed here. Closes #1138

The validate job checks out at the default depth, so the pull request's base commit is absent and the engine reported an unresolvable target, which is a boundary rather than a verdict and failed the step loudly. The hook deepens the clone itself rather than raising fetch-depth on validate-task.yml, keeping the cost with the hub whose hook this is instead of on every repository that reuses that workflow.

Disposes of the nine findings the pull request reviewers raised. Six were real and are fixed: a case for the --target <sha> form validation actually passes, a needless __future__ import, a spaced hyphen in generated prose, a burn-down that went stale on every record, and two bugs. The first bug: changed_units applied this branch's manifest to both sides, so adding an already-present file or section to spec/files.json produced identical digests and no changed unit. Content became newly carried, every downstream repo read it for the first time, and the gate built for that case said nothing. The base is now resolved against the base commit's own manifest. The second: the documented commit-review-record-push order cannot complete, because record writes tracked files and the pre-push hook refuses a tree differing from HEAD before either gate runs. The constraint is that the ledger and burn-down are committed before the push while the diff receipt is recorded after the last commit, and three files said otherwise. One finding is declined. The claimed one-line comment policy does not exist: CODESTYLE.md states no such rule, prose_lint's rule is one sentence per comment line rather than one line per block, and origin/develop's copy of that same file already carries a four-line block. Eight delegated local-strict-review passes over the four carried units this change moves then raised 39 more findings that no reviewer had. Thirty are fixed here, including a crash path that exited 1 where a capture point reads 1 as the not-covered verdict, reporting an execution boundary as a gate finding. Eleven are pre-existing defects in units this change only touches, filed as #1149 and #1150 rather than folded in.
Nine findings from a delegated diff pass, each reproduced rather than reasoned about. The carried set now comes from git on both sides. The tree half walked the filesystem while the base half read git's tree, so the two compared different notions of membership, and anything sitting in a carried directory counted as canonical content: a gitignored .DS_Store failed the UTF-8 decode and took every subcommand to exit 2, blocking every push from that clone. Tracked plus unignored is the set, so a new unstaged canonical is still covered. Tree membership now comes from the tree a repository receives and the key from the tree a fix may edit. .agents/skills/README.md exists only on the authored side, so the gate had been demanding a carrier's read of a file no carrier gets, the obligation this tool must not invent. cat-file --batch answers are keyed on the last field. git echoes the request verbatim, so a path holding spaces pushed a digit into third place and the next answer's header was returned as that path's content. The call also inherited the git redirects every other call here strips, where GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY reads as a base that carried nothing, and encoded names without surrogateescape. Declared section names match case-folded, as spec/audit.py already does, so a re-cased declaration no longer stops gating a section while reporting it as not held here. report --check is the burn-down's own gate, on build_dist --check's contract, and runs unconditionally in CI. Deferred: #1151, record having no lock, which fails closed.
Three findings from a second delegated diff pass. The declared-name lookup folds case while file_units' duplicate guard did not, an asymmetry the previous commit introduced. Two headings differing only in case passed the guard, the dict kept the last, and spec/audit.py's own match keeps the first, so a pass would have been recorded over one section's bytes while the fidelity check hashed the other's, and the first section would have been no unit at all. Latent rather than live: no carried file holds such a pair today. A refusal raised while reading the merge-base named only a path, so a duplicate heading a later commit removed reported a defect in the file the reader is about to open, which does not hold one. Those now name the commit. report --check ran in CI and appeared in no runbook, so its failure shape had nowhere to be looked up. It is in OPERATIONS.md's own "the gates the way CI runs them" block and in scripts/README.md now. Also covers the symlink refusal disk_reader gained, which no case exercised.
Three text findings from the pass that covers this push. None is in a carried unit, so no recorded pass is retired. Both runbooks said a renamed or deleted unit leaves check covered while only report --check notices. Deletion does. Renaming does only for a file the manifest carries by named sections, meaning AGENTS.md and GOVERNANCE.md, where the declared name then matches no heading. Renaming a section of a file carried whole makes check name the new unit and demand a pass, so the claim was false for every other carried unit, which is all 200-odd of them. The duplicate-heading refusal named only the second spelling, exact before case folding and not after, so a reader searching for the name printed found one of the pair. It names both where they differ. A test docstring credited file_units with keeping the last of a case-colliding pair. Unfolded it keeps both, and the lookup that resolves a declaration to one of them is build_units', which is what the fold protects.

The Qodo open finding that carries no thread is Validate comment block too long, answered in its thread and summarized here so it is answered where it was raised: the cited one-line comment policy does not exist in this repository, Two findings were real bugs rather than style, and both are worth naming. Newly carried content bypassed the gate. The documented order could not complete. What the local passes then foundEleven delegated Three of those were correctness bugs in the engine:
Worth stating plainly: the majority of those 55 were defects introduced while fixing earlier ones. The unit-model sentence was wrong in four consecutive rounds, each time in a new way, before the paraphrase was cut entirely in favour of pointing at All four carried units this change moves carry recorded passes at their current text, and the branch's diff carries a recorded receipt. |

The burn-down step carried no if:, so the implicit success() skipped it whenever
an earlier step in the composite action failed. CI therefore reported the first
reason a run was refused and hid the next, which costs a whole round to
discover, and which is the reason .husky/pre-push runs both gates before reading
either verdict. The two disagreed and the hook was right.
!cancelled() rather than always(): the latter also runs after a cancellation,
where nothing is waiting for the answer, and GitHub's own expressions reference
names !cancelled() as the recommended alternative. The ${{ }} wrapping is
required rather than stylistic, since ! is reserved notation in YAML.
Both prose surfaces called the step unconditional, which it no longer is.
Note for a later reader: no linter here validates this expression.
scripts/docker_lint.py scopes actionlint to .github/workflows/*.yml, and CI's
actionlint step uses the same default, so .github/actions/**/action.yml is
covered by neither.

That issue is a grouping one and proposes no fix, naming only what a fix would have to address: the ordering, "whether hub canonical content can be put in front of a reviewer here, in full, before a downstream repository is the one to find it." This is that mechanism.
The mechanism
scripts/canonical_review.pyreproduces the carrier's read in the repository that can act on it, and keeps a record of which content has had one.A unit is what a reviewer reads whole. One level-two section of a Markdown canonical, one file otherwise. That is the fidelity unit
spec/section-model.mdalready declares and the unit keyspec/divergences.jsonalready uses (<path> > <section>). Splitting by section is what keeps the read proportionate: a reviewer asked for all 84 KB ofGOVERNANCE.mdon every edit reads none of it.A file the manifest carries by named sections contributes exactly those, so the two sections
GOVERNANCE.mdkeeps for itself are not units, and aninterfaceentry contributes none at all since its body is the carrying repository's own. The skills tree is keyed at.agents/skills/, where a fix lands, rather than at the generated.github/skills/the manifest names.Coverage is over content, never over a commit. A unit is covered while a recorded pass names its current digest, so editing it retires the pass and editing its neighbor does not.
The gate is on what a branch changes; the backlog is reported.
checkrefuses only the units this branch's own diff moved, measured from the merge-base. The 283 units nothing has read here yet are a burn-down inreports/canonical-review.md, the wayreports/divergences.mdcarries fidelity, rather than a block on unrelated work.Where it binds
.husky/pre-pushruns it besidelocal_review.py. Both gates run before either verdict is read, so one blocked push names every reason it was refused..github/actions/validatehook runs the same check on every pull request. That is where it actually binds, since a hook a push can bypass raises the cost of skipping the rule without settling it.GOVERNANCE.md"Verification Discipline" carries the rule,AGENTS.mdroutes to it, and thelocal-strict-reviewSkill gains "The Carried-Content Pass" with the brief, the commands, and a refusal-table row.Dogfooding
The six units this change itself moves carry recorded passes. That pass raised eleven findings, every one fixed here, including a frontmatter lede that undercounted the skill's passes, a refusal table that claimed to be the fleet's one enumeration while missing the new shape, and a brief pointing at a unit "named below" that nothing below named.
Verification
python3 -m unittest discover -s scripts/tests: 1012 tests pass, 45 of them new.cat-filepayload offset, the record digest binding, the headless-reviewer refusal, the path containment check) each fail the case that names them, and the suite is green with them reverted.ruff check,ruff format --check,mypy,prose_lint.py(CI's nine checks),repo_gate.py,spec/validate.py,build_dist.py --check, and the four self-test suites all pass.docker_lint.py: editorconfig-checker, actionlint, markdownlint, cspell, shellcheck, and shfmt all clean. PSScriptAnalyzer could not install its module in the container ("No repository with the name 'PSGallery' was found"), which is an execution boundary rather than a result; no.ps1file is touched by this change.One disclosure: this session was instructed not to spawn subagents, so both the diff pass and the six carried-content passes ran inline in the main session rather than in the delegated subagent the skill prescribes. They are recorded as
agent-skill, which is that backend's kind.Summary by CodeRabbit
