feat(receipt)!: judge the claim receipt with one predicate, not two (CLOUD-741) - #548
Conversation
CLOUD-741 `verify`'s claim backstop checks existence only, so the CLOUD-516 incident it exists to catch passes it — two readers of one receipt, and they have already drifted
Why The claim receipt has two readers, and they do not implement the same predicate:
The backstop is strictly weaker than the guard it backs up, which inverts the reason it exists. So the exact incident CLOUD-516 was filed for — Why the duplication exists, so nobody reads it as carelessness. The receipt is not the problem. One file, one authority, exactly as intended. What got duplicated is the predicate over it, and a predicate that can drift from its twin without failing is the second authority non-negotiable rule 6 warns about — the same argument Rejected alternative: teach the shell check CLOUD-516's rule. It closes today's gap and guarantees tomorrow's: it writes the Rejected alternative: unpin Refinement — Ready (give the branch-keyed predicate a CLI surface; both callers run one implementation) Refinement gate: Definition of Ready & Done. This body carries only specializations.
Acceptance
Provenance. Found while answering "why are there two readers?" during CLOUD-733's refinement. CLOUD-733's own §2 turned out to specify a predicate that can never fire, and re-refining it is what surfaced that the duplication — not the rename — is the load-bearing defect. |

changed the title
`receipt status` was SHA-keyed only, so `verify` could not reach `branch_validity` at all and had re-implemented the branch-keyed question in shell as `[ ! -f "$claim_receipt" ]` — a presence test. The two readers disagree, and the backstop is the weaker one. A branch restarted with `git checkout -B <name> origin/main` after its PR merged is stale-main to the engine and passed `verify`. That is the exact CLOUD-516 incident, where a receipt naming CLOUD-230 authorised edits behind four unrelated stories — and since `claim-needs-receipt` is a hook, and a hook can be unloaded (CLOUD-187), the one case the shell check existed for was also the case where nothing could see staleness. The duplication was not carelessness: `RuleKind::scopes` pins `RuleKind::Receipt` to the mediated call, so `batten check` structurally cannot evaluate a receipt rule and the tree surface had nowhere to ask. `--key head|branch` is the seam that lets both callers run the one implementation, defaulted to `head` so every existing CLI caller is byte-identical. Teaching the shell the staleness rule was rejected: writing that comparison a second time in a second language, with nothing holding the two in agreement, is how this pair drifted to begin with. `branch_facts` is extracted from `verdicts()` so the mediated row and the CLI resolve branch-and-own-commits identically. Its `None` stays "could not look" — a rebase detaches, and answering "not valid" there would make every rebase read as an unclaimed branch, so the CLI raises instead of emitting a verdict. The `-J` document's second field becomes `subject` beside a named `key`. It was `head`, which would silently mean a branch name under the new keying — the drift that arm exists to refuse. The bot lane (CLOUD-693) keys `bot.<branch>` separately but records the same `base` line, so it goes through the same predicate and gains the staleness rule rather than needing its own. BREAKING CHANGE: `ReceiptCommand::Status` gains a `key` field and `receipt::run_status` gains a `key` parameter, so a library caller constructing the variant or calling the function by position must supply `ReceiptKey::Head` to keep today's behaviour. The COMMAND-LINE surface is unchanged — `--key` defaults to `head` — so no shell caller moves. The field is added rather than hidden behind a second entry point because the keying is what the verb judges, and a `run_status` that could not be asked which receipt it meant is the ambiguity this change exists to remove. Refs: CLOUD-741
…t was green Six E2E rows in claim_receipt.rs drive `receipt status --key branch` over the SAME fixtures as the hook cases and assert the two readers agree, so "they agree" is the pinned property rather than "the CLI answers". The load-bearing one is the restart: mint, land, `checkout -B <name> origin/main`. The engine has called that stale-main since CLOUD-516, but the receipt file was still on disk, so `verify`'s presence test passed it and a branch could be verified, readied and landed carrying a claim for an unrelated issue. tests/verify.bats now stubs `cargo` instead of writing receipt files, so the cases assert the body reads the ENGINE and not the filesystem — one row passes verify with no receipt file present at all. Four rows added: a stale receipt is refused, the refusal distinguishes re-claim from claim, a verdict decides rather than a file, and the bot lane is judged by the same predicate rather than merely counted. The false-positive direction is pinned on both surfaces too: a lap that rebases onto newer main is not a re-claim, which is the row a careless fix breaks. Also fixes a latent defect in both suites' extractor. It read the `[tasks.verify]` body until any THREE-CHARACTER line, meaning to stop at the closing `'''` — so an indented ` #` comment separator truncated it silently, and every case then asserted against a body it never finished reading. Anchored on the real terminator. Found because this change added such a line. Refs: CLOUD-741
`receipt_status_json_names_the_pointer_lines_tokens` caught the rename, which is the gate working: it is the one row asserting the data channel's field names, and it went red the moment `head` stopped being the only thing that field could hold. Updated to the new contract rather than relaxed. `subject` carries the git fact judged and `key` names which fact that is, and the row now asserts `head` is GONE rather than merely joined by a clearer sibling — a consumer reading the old name must fail loudly, not silently read a branch name as a commit. A second row judges under `--key branch` and asserts the subject is the branch. Without it the rename would be cosmetic: `subject` earns its name only by demonstrably changing with the keying.

Distinguish a policy verdict from a failure of the command itself.
The condition treats every non-zero result as "no valid receipt". receipt status uses three distinct codes: 2 is the verdict, 1 is a usage or checkout error, and 3 is an internal error such as a detached HEAD. cargo run adds a fourth case: a compile failure also exits non-zero.
Two consequences follow. A build error or an unresolvable origin/main is reported as a missing claim receipt, which sends the reader to mise run claim-check for a problem that command cannot fix. And 2>/dev/null discards the only text that would explain it, so claim_line is empty and line 1090 echoes a blank line.
Branch on the code, and keep the command's own stderr for the non-verdict cases.

What
The claim receipt had two readers, and they did not implement the same predicate:
branch_validitycrates/batten/src/receipt.rsbase/own-commits rule →missing/stale-main/validmise.toml,[tasks.verify][ ! -f "$claim_receipt" ]— existence, nothing elseThe backstop was the weaker of the two, which inverts the reason a backstop exists.
So a branch restarted with
git checkout -B <name> origin/mainafter its PR merged — the documented remedy, which repoints the name at a new base while the receipt, keyed by the name, survives — wasstale-mainto the hook and passedverify. That is the exact incident CLOUD-516 was filed for, where a receipt naming CLOUD-230 authorised every edit behind four unrelated stories. And becauseclaim-needs-receiptis a hook, and a hook can be unloaded (CLOUD-187), the one scenario the shell check existed for was also the one where nothing could see staleness at all.Why there were two, so this doesn't read as carelessness
RuleKind::scopespinsRuleKind::Receiptto&[RuleScope::MediatedCall]— for the stated reason that pairing every spawning kind withTreealone is what keepshookstructurally unable to execute a configured command. A receipt rule therefore cannot run on the tree surface at all, sobatten checkcan never evaluate one andverifyhad nowhere to ask. CLOUD-444 retiredclaim-guardinto that mediated row; the shell check is what was left holding the tree surface, and it was written as a presence test before CLOUD-516 gave the receipt a validity rule.The receipt was never the problem — one file, one authority, as intended. What was duplicated is the predicate over it, and a predicate that can drift from its twin without failing is the second authority non-negotiable rule 6 warns about.
The change
receipt statusgains--key head|branch, defaulted tohead:verifycalls that instead of testing for a file, and the shell predicate is deleted rather than corrected.branch_factsis extracted fromverdicts()so the mediated row and the CLI resolve branch-and-own-commits identically — this adds a caller, not a third implementation.Rejected: teach the shell the staleness rule. It closes today's gap and guarantees tomorrow's — the same comparison, a second time, in a second language, with nothing holding the two in agreement. That is how this pair drifted to begin with.
Rejected: unpin
