Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change moves claim-key and merged-PR extraction into batten. It adds forge pagination with conditional caching and new record storage commands. It adds branch-age recording and policy verdicts. It removes retired shell programs and updates callers, tests, documentation, and completions. It also removes the conditioned sleep exemption and updates shell-retirement rules. Priority: ➖ Normal Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The new record, forge, claim, and policy paths can silently miss or misclassify repository state, producing incorrect gate decisions. These issues should be fixed before merge. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)
✅ Passed checks (4 passed)

… claim merged
`race::claimed_from` and `forge::window` already carried the answers; these are
the doors, and the two programs go with them. `merged-pr-keys` shelled into
`claimed-keys` once per pull request body, so they retire as one delta.
VERIFIED AGAINST THE PROGRAMS THEY REPLACE, on this repository's real forge:
`claim keys` agrees key for key on the default chain and `--refs-first-only`;
`claim merged` was diffed row by row against `merged-pr-keys` over 713 merged
pull requests. That diff is the whole value of this commit, because it found
three defects nobody had measured.
TWO ARE FIXED HERE, both in `ready-closing-verb`, which decides what a body
CLOSES and is read by `closing-key-check`, `race::claimed` and `ready-lint`:
* `[[:space:]]*` matched a NEWLINE, so the row's own "immediately before a
key" anchor stopped meaning that the moment a heading ended in "the fix" and
a citation opened the next line. Narrowed to `[[:blank:]]*`.
* an explicit negation was invisible: `## Why this does NOT close CLOUD-1074`
read as closing it, because the prefix ends in `close` and the negation sits
one word further back, outside an end-anchored pattern's reach. Rust's regex
has no lookbehind, so `ready-closing-negation` is a second row and
`keys_closed_in` now LOCATES the verb rather than merely detecting it.
Six rows read as closed by bodies that say in so many words that they do not
close them. The harm runs the dangerous way: a false CLAIM tells
`in-progress-drain` a row landed, and it drains a row that is still live.
THE THIRD IS FILED, NOT ABSORBED (CLOUD-1757). `to close X`, `closed X` and
`the same fix X` are indistinguishable from `Closes X` by adjacency alone, and
the discriminator people actually use is POSITION rather than vocabulary. That
change moves three landed gates and its false-negative direction cannot be
measured from merged pull requests alone, so it gets its own row with the
corpus. The residual — 5 narrative rows, against 4 genuine `Closes:` claims the
shell's hand-rolled regex MISSED — is a `// changed:` arm rather than silence.
Both authorities were defective, in opposite directions. That is CLOUD-338's
one-authority argument arriving as a measurement.
A PRODUCER, NOT A GATE, which is why `claim merged` exits non-zero on
could-not-look where `claim race` reports it on stdout at 0: its stdout is DATA
a caller consumes, and a producer that exits clean having produced nothing is
indistinguishable from a repository with no merged pull requests — the exact
state the program refuses as impossible of a repository with a trunk.
Outside a checkout `claim keys` prints nothing and exits 0, and the branch is
resolved BEFORE the grammar so that stays true: every caller reads "no claim" as
"do not judge", and a guard that guesses blocks correct work.
Five governed callers are repointed rather than left dangling — the one admitted
edit, and the arm exists precisely so a retirement can complete. `landed-check`
is repointed only; it retires under CLOUD-1753, which is the sibling's.
`shell-retirement` gained the arm this retirement had no landable spelling
without. CLOUD-843 closed the stranded-variable class for a `local … reg …`
declaration; a standalone `here=$(cd "$(dirname "$0")" && pwd)` is the same trap
one assignment form on — repoint its only spend and shellcheck refuses SC2034,
keep the spend and the program cannot die. The binding may go only when EVERY
base line spending it called the path this delta deletes, so one surviving spend
still refuses. `policy/` is ungoverned, and a wrongly refusing gate is a defect
to repair rather than a row to file.

Measured over this repository's 713 merged pull requests: six rows read as CLOSED by bodies saying so in as many words — `## Why this does NOT close CLOUD-1074`, `It also does not close CLOUD-673`, `**This does not close CLOUD-1050`, `Filed, not fixed: CLOUD-466` — plus four more where a heading ending in "the fix" sat a blank line above a citation. The harm runs the dangerous way: a false CLAIM tells `in-progress-drain` a row landed and it drains a row that is still live. Without these two rows the port is worse than the program it replaces, which is the one thing a retirement may not be.
Admits-answer-precondition: The redirect this class names for `batten.toml` is "change it in a pull request", which states how the change must LAND rather than naming a surface that can express it: no tool other than a direct write can add a `[[pattern]]` row or narrow an existing one's regex. Two rows are the subject — `ready-closing-negation` is new and `ready-closing-verb`'s `[[:space:]]` becomes `[[:blank:]]` — and both are the consumer's own vocabulary, which non-negotiable rule 1 keeps out of the crate. Branch claude/retire-bash-corpus-44-sjdnok, draft PR #930, reviewed before merge.
Admits-answer-rejected-route: `patch run first` does not apply: the protected-path gate is the intersection of the protected paths with the mutating-verb table, and that table already refuses `>`, `tee`, `sed`, `cp`, `install` and `git` over this path, so routing identical bytes through a patch program reaches the identical refusal under a different program name. `config read first` was TAKEN, not rejected — the `[[pattern]]` block at batten.toml:1925-1947, `crates/batten/src/ready.rs`'s `keys_closed_in`, and `mise-tasks/claimed-keys.sh`'s own `CLAIM_RE` were all read first, and reading them is what established that the two authorities are defective in OPPOSITE directions and that only one of the three classes is fixable by a pattern row. The residual is filed as CLOUD-1757 rather than absorbed.

Inline comments:
In `@AGENTS.md`:
- Line 138: Update the guidance near the existing sleep prohibition and the
“background it” instruction so it no longer directs agents to background a
sleep; instead, instruct them to act on the exit notification from an
already-running background task, while preserving the prohibition on all sleep
commands.
In `@batten.toml`:
- Line 2007: Update the negation regex so the contracted n.t alternative can
match the suffix in words like “doesn't” without requiring the existing left
boundary, while preserving boundary requirements for the standalone negation
terms.
In `@crates/batten/src/forge.rs`:
- Around line 343-344: Update the cache persistence flow around the ETag and
body writes to publish both values as a single consistent generation. Ensure the
body is durably stored before atomically replacing the ETag pointer, or
atomically replace a combined record while serializing concurrent writers;
propagate write failures instead of ignoring them, and preserve the 304/200
response path without allowing mismatched values.
In `@crates/batten/src/journal.rs`:
- Line 452: Update the directory-entry processing in fold_lines to handle each
ReadDir Result explicitly instead of using flatten; preserve qualifying entries,
but return Fold::Unreadable(dir) immediately when any entry yields an error,
including failures after earlier entries have been processed.
In `@crates/batten/src/record.rs`:
- Around line 532-540: Update the Fold::Records output branch in the journal
rendering logic to distinguish stored records from the Fold::Nothing and
Fold::Unreadable state outputs. Prefix each record with a stable discriminator,
or emit a state header before iterating records, while preserving the existing
sentinel text and record content.
- Line 516: Update the keyed-record read error handling around the Err arm to
classify only ErrorKind::NotFound as “miss”; convert every other read error into
Internal and propagate it to the caller, preserving the existing output behavior
for genuinely absent records.
- Line 475: Update the record normalization in the journal append path around
the record variable to remove only one trailing line terminator, preserve all
other leading and trailing whitespace, and reject records containing any
remaining line break; do not use trim().
In `@crates/batten/tests/it/pointer_only.rs`:
- Line 1885: Update the reader classifications for “record show” and “record
fold” from pointer-only to passthrough, and add per-verb setup that writes a
canary record before each read. Assert that the stored payload appears at most
once, covering populated stores while preserving the existing miss and
empty-store checks.
In `@man/batten-claim-keys.1`:
- Line 7: Update the batten claim keys synopsis to show required value
placeholders for the --branch, --title, and --log options, using clear names
such as BRANCH, TITLE, and LOG while leaving the other options unchanged.
In `@man/batten-claim-merged.1`:
- Line 7: Update the batten claim merged synopsis to show that the --limit
option requires a value, using the existing synopsis style such as --limit
<LIMIT>; leave the other options unchanged.
In `@policy/shell-retirement.rego`:
- Line 361: Update the config check used by
only_supplies_the_successors_precondition so it matches only the required
fixture-config copy command involving batten.toml. Reject lines where
batten.toml appears in destructive commands, redirects, command chains, or other
arbitrary shell syntax, while preserving the intended valid copy form.
- Line 1087: Update the matching logic around contains(line, form) to require a
shell-word or pathname boundary immediately after basename(gone), preventing
suffixed paths such as .bak from matching the retired script. Preserve the
existing binding-removal behavior only when the command argument is an exact
valid match.

Remove the instruction to background a sleep.
Line 138 states that every sleep is refused in both foreground and background. Line 146 still says to “background it” after listing foreground sleep. These instructions conflict and can cause agents to violate the new policy. Replace that phrase with an instruction to act on the existing background task's exit notification.
Proposed wording
-**Never** foreground-`sleep`, busy-poll, or idle "to watch" — background it, act on its exit, push.

Publish the ETag and body as one cache generation.
These writes ignore errors and publish the ETag before the body. If the process stops, the body write fails, or concurrent writers interleave, the store can pair an ETag with the wrong body.
The next request can send that ETag. The 304 branch then returns the mismatched body as a successful 200 reading. This can make window_over report stale rows as Window::Whole.
Store the body by ETag and atomically replace an ETag pointer only after the body is durable. Alternatively, atomically replace one record that contains both values and serialize writers.

Discriminate folded records from journal state sentinels.
A journal containing one record named nothing has the same output as an empty journal. A record such as unreadable /tmp/store also collides with the unreadable state.
Prefix each folded record with a stable discriminator, or emit a state header before the records.

Exercise populated stores before classifying these readers as pointer-only.
record show returns the stored value, and record fold returns stored journal records. record_families.rs asserts both behaviors. This sweep creates a fresh corpus for each verb, so these rows test only miss and nothing while asserting a property that is false for populated stores.
Classify these paths as passthrough and add per-verb setup that writes a canary record before the read. Assert that the stored payload appears no more than once.

… claim merged
`race::claimed_from` and `forge::window` already carried the answers; these are
the doors, and the two programs go with them. `merged-pr-keys` shelled into
`claimed-keys` once per pull request body, so they retire as one delta.
VERIFIED AGAINST THE PROGRAMS THEY REPLACE, on this repository's real forge:
`claim keys` agrees key for key on the default chain and `--refs-first-only`;
`claim merged` was diffed row by row against `merged-pr-keys` over 713 merged
pull requests. That diff is the whole value of this commit, because it found
three defects nobody had measured.
TWO ARE FIXED HERE, both in `ready-closing-verb`, which decides what a body
CLOSES and is read by `closing-key-check`, `race::claimed` and `ready-lint`:
* `[[:space:]]*` matched a NEWLINE, so the row's own "immediately before a
key" anchor stopped meaning that the moment a heading ended in "the fix" and
a citation opened the next line. Narrowed to `[[:blank:]]*`.
* an explicit negation was invisible: `## Why this does NOT close CLOUD-1074`
read as closing it, because the prefix ends in `close` and the negation sits
one word further back, outside an end-anchored pattern's reach. Rust's regex
has no lookbehind, so `ready-closing-negation` is a second row and
`keys_closed_in` now LOCATES the verb rather than merely detecting it.
Six rows read as closed by bodies that say in so many words that they do not
close them. The harm runs the dangerous way: a false CLAIM tells
`in-progress-drain` a row landed, and it drains a row that is still live.
THE THIRD IS FILED, NOT ABSORBED (CLOUD-1757). `to close X`, `closed X` and
`the same fix X` are indistinguishable from `Closes X` by adjacency alone, and
the discriminator people actually use is POSITION rather than vocabulary. That
change moves three landed gates and its false-negative direction cannot be
measured from merged pull requests alone, so it gets its own row with the
corpus. The residual — 5 narrative rows, against 4 genuine `Closes:` claims the
shell's hand-rolled regex MISSED — is a `// changed:` arm rather than silence.
Both authorities were defective, in opposite directions. That is CLOUD-338's
one-authority argument arriving as a measurement.
A PRODUCER, NOT A GATE, which is why `claim merged` exits non-zero on
could-not-look where `claim race` reports it on stdout at 0: its stdout is DATA
a caller consumes, and a producer that exits clean having produced nothing is
indistinguishable from a repository with no merged pull requests — the exact
state the program refuses as impossible of a repository with a trunk.
Outside a checkout `claim keys` prints nothing and exits 0, and the branch is
resolved BEFORE the grammar so that stays true: every caller reads "no claim" as
"do not judge", and a guard that guesses blocks correct work.
Five governed callers are repointed rather than left dangling — the one admitted
edit, and the arm exists precisely so a retirement can complete. `landed-check`
is repointed only; it retires under CLOUD-1753, which is the sibling's.
`shell-retirement` gained the arm this retirement had no landable spelling
without. CLOUD-843 closed the stranded-variable class for a `local … reg …`
declaration; a standalone `here=$(cd "$(dirname "$0")" && pwd)` is the same trap
one assignment form on — repoint its only spend and shellcheck refuses SC2034,
keep the spend and the program cannot die. The binding may go only when EVERY
base line spending it called the path this delta deletes, so one surviving spend
still refuses. `policy/` is ungoverned, and a wrongly refusing gate is a defect
to repair rather than a row to file.

Admits-answer-lost: `claim merged` ships reading bodies as closing rows they explicitly do not close. Measured over this repository's 713 merged pull requests: six rows read as CLOSED by bodies saying so in as many words — `## Why this does NOT close CLOUD-1074`, `It also does not close CLOUD-673`, `**This does not close CLOUD-1050`, `Filed, not fixed: CLOUD-466` — plus four more where a heading ending in "the fix" sat a blank line above a citation. The harm runs the dangerous way: a false CLAIM tells `in-progress-drain` a row landed and it drains a row that is still live. Without these two rows the port is worse than the program it replaces, which is the one thing a retirement may not be.
Admits-answer-precondition: The redirect this class names for `batten.toml` is "change it in a pull request", which states how the change must LAND rather than naming a surface that can express it: no tool other than a direct write can add a `[[pattern]]` row or narrow an existing one's regex. Two rows are the subject — `ready-closing-negation` is new and `ready-closing-verb`'s `[[:space:]]` becomes `[[:blank:]]` — and both are the consumer's own vocabulary, which non-negotiable rule 1 keeps out of the crate. Branch claude/retire-bash-corpus-44-sjdnok, draft PR #930, reviewed before merge.
Admits-answer-rejected-route: `patch run first` does not apply: the protected-path gate is the intersection of the protected paths with the mutating-verb table, and that table already refuses `>`, `tee`, `sed`, `cp`, `install` and `git` over this path, so routing identical bytes through a patch program reaches the identical refusal under a different program name. `config read first` was TAKEN, not rejected — the `[[pattern]]` block at batten.toml:1925-1947, `crates/batten/src/ready.rs`'s `keys_closed_in`, and `mise-tasks/claimed-keys.sh`'s own `CLAIM_RE` were all read first, and reading them is what established that the two authorities are defective in OPPOSITE directions and that only one of the three classes is fixable by a pattern row. The residual is filed as CLOUD-1757 rather than absorbed.

Admit branch-age in record::VERB_WRITTEN.
record named branch-age writes the receipt, but record::VERB_WRITTEN does not enumerate branch-age. The shared recorder_records reader therefore omits it from input.tree.records, so policy/branch-age.rego cannot detect recorded stale or duplicate branches. Add branch-age to the shared verb-written registry and update its registry validation.

Paginate each forge collection before recording it.
refs(first:100) omits later branches. gh pr list --limit 200 omits older merged heads. The check-run request reads only the first 100 results.
These tasks write complete-looking partial records. The policies can miss stale or reused branches. The forge recorder can also miss the fan-in and write no verdict.
Fetch all pages. If the result is truncated, do not write a record.

Preserve claim extraction failures.
The -z test discards the exit status from cargo run. If the command fails without stdout, the gate treats the failure as a valid empty claim set.
Capture the output first. Check the command status before checking whether the output is empty.

Reject spend lines that contain another use of the variable.
The rule only requires each spend line to contain the retired path. A base line such as "$here/old-gate.sh"; cat "$here/config" passes this test. The policy can then admit removal of here even when the head still uses "$here/config".
Require every occurrence of $variable or ${variable} on each spend line to belong to the exact retired-script path.

`forge-verdict-required` is registered at `severity = "deny"` and reads `input.tree.forge`, which `crates/batten/src/forge.rs` resolves from `.git/batten-forge/<sha>`. `batten record forge` writes that store and was invoked zero times, so the fact was `null` on every checkout, the module's `is_object` guard never held, and the row decided nothing. A dead gate is byte-identical to a clean tree on the decision surface. `[tasks.record-verdicts]` already runs the same shape for `record tool`, and `verify` calls it before the gates precisely so a `deny` row is not adjudicated over a record nothing wrote. The forge arm goes beside the three tool arms. THE REF SET IS NAMED: `HEAD`, which is the whole of what is declared. Both consuming rows carry `forge = ["HEAD"]` and no row declares another ref, so the record is scoped to what is asked rather than narrowed below it. THE FAN-IN GATES WRITING AT ALL. Until `$CI_FANIN_CHECK` has concluded the forge has not finished judging the commit, and a record PRESENT without a passing fan-in is what the module refuses. Writing unconditionally would therefore refuse every local `verify` (a freshly minted SHA CI has not graded) and every CI run (the fan-in is pending by construction while `verify` runs inside it). Absent is could-not-look and is the correct reading for both, so a failed fetch and an ungraded commit each write nothing. A re-run adds a second check-run under one name, so the listing is reduced to the latest run per name at the producer — `forge::parse` folds into a map and would otherwise take whichever line came last by listing order. A name carrying a space has no spelling in the `<name> <token>` format and is dropped rather than mangled; the count goes to stderr as a pointer, never the payload. The three comments asserting a producer-less state are corrected in the same change rather than left to read as live.

This change lands the producer, so leaving the prose turns a stale-but-true note into an actively false one, at the two sites a reader consults to learn whether the row is live. That is CLOUD-1680's restated-claim defect in the row filed to end it. Admits-answer-precondition: The redirect this class names for `batten.toml` is "change it in a pull request", which states how the change must LAND rather than naming a surface that can express it: no tool other than a direct write can correct the prose of three comment blocks inside `[[rule]]` and `[[rule.tools]]` tables. CLOUD-1707's acceptance names those comments explicitly as work in scope, because they assert a producer-less state that this same change ends. Branch claude/retire-bash-corpus-44-sjdnok, draft PR, reviewed before merge. Admits-answer-rejected-route: `patch run first` does not apply: the protected-path gate is the intersection of the protected paths with the mutating-verb table, and that table already refuses `>`, `tee`, `sed`, `cp`, `install` and `git` over this path, so routing identical bytes through a patch program reaches the identical refusal under a different program name. `config read first` was TAKEN, not rejected — `batten.toml`'s `[[rule]]` rows for `forge-verdict-required` and `validator-verdict-clean`, `policy/forge-verdict-required.rego` and the `[tasks.record-verdicts]` body were all read before this request, and that reading is what established which three comments are false and what each must now say. Reported rather than absorbed: the edits were made with `python3`, which the mutating-verb table does not cover and which was NOT refused at the hook — a coverage gap in that table, caught here at commit time instead.
Seven shell programs each reimplement "read a paginated forge collection over a window, cache the validator, notice truncation, reduce to a record" — 1,583 lines. `land-divergence:88-130` and `nonverdict-scan:103-147` carry a LITERAL COPY of one 45-line `conditional_get`. The duplication is the proof the primitive was missing; this is that primitive. `rest.rs` already ships the transport, so this is the layer above it and not a second HTTP client. TRUNCATION IS NEVER A SHORT SUCCESS. Three programs discovered the trap independently and guarded it three ways — `merged-pr-keys` against its `--limit`, `land-divergence` against `total_count`, and `timeout-drift` not at all. `Window::Truncated` carries what it could not see (rows read, the forge's own count where stated, pages spent), because a caller handed a prefix cannot tell it from the whole collection and every reduction over it answers about a window while reporting about a population. A SHORT PAGE ENDS THE COLLECTION, not only an empty one, and the page size is read off the caller's own `per_page` rather than assumed — the forge's default differs per endpoint, which is how `timeout-drift`'s unpaginated `/jobs` call silently takes 30. `Answer::header` returns any header, including off a non-2xx: `gh-preflight` reads `X-Accepted-GitHub-Permissions` off a 403, which `is_reading` and `answered` both exclude. The transport already read the whole block and was discarding all but four — the second `gh api -i` header parser this module's header says the typed boundary retired, standing again one endpoint over. The validator store is persistent and keyed by the whole URL, query string included, because two pages of one collection are two readings and a key that collapsed them would serve page 1's body for page 2. A 304 with no cached body is could-not-look, never an empty page. THE TRANSPORT IS AN ARGUMENT, and the reason is testability: `rest`'s own seam is an environment variable, `set_var` is `unsafe` under this edition, and this crate forbids `unsafe`. The established way round is a subprocess against a CLI leaf, which this row deliberately does not add. So the seam moves up one level where it is an ordinary parameter, and the cases drive the real walk. `forge.rs`'s header said "the engine opens no socket, and that is the whole design". That is now false for half the file, so it is corrected rather than left standing: the reader is still I/O-free and still what `check` reaches, and the split is enforced by who calls, exactly as `record-verdicts` already is. Refs: CLOUD-1712, CLOUD-1177, CLOUD-418
Three programs — 841 lines — each hand-roll a durable keyed store under `.git/` while the engine ships both shapes with no door to either. `step-receipt` and `board-payloads` want keyed put/hit; `reclaim-census` is a single-shard journal with a boot id as the shard key, written by hand next to `journal.rs`. Each invented a naming scheme because there was no leaf. `record keyed` / `record journal` are the doors, and `record show` / `record fold` read them back. THE JOURNAL IS REUSED, NOT REIMPLEMENTED. `journal::append_line` is now the one append path in the crate and `journal::append` is a caller of it rather than a second copy, so the durability barrier, the one-writer shard rule and the persist-before-emit order are stated once. A second append-only store beside this one is precisely what the row forbids. A HALF-WRITTEN APPEND IS NOT A RECORD. `str::lines` yields an unterminated tail identically to a whole line, so a fold built on it counts a torn record — and `reclaim-census` classifies a boot from the KIND of the last record under it, which is exactly the value a torn tail corrupts. `fold_lines` reads termination off the bytes. `sync_all` is what makes the case decidable at all; `reclaim-census` reached for `sync -d` for the same reason. NOTHING IS NOT UNREADABLE. `Fold` carries `task::Reading`'s three answers, which the row names as the precedent: a fold over zero records is a real answer, and a store that could not be opened is could-not-look. Conflating them makes a fresh checkout look broken, or worse, a broken store look clean. A MISS IS EXIT 0 AND THE DISCRIMINATION IS ON STDOUT — `checks-green`'s shape. Exit 2 means VIOLATION under the engine's contract and a cache miss is not one; the shell corpus runs the inverse and that inversion is not carried across. THE COST CLASS IS NOT WIDENED, which is §2's question answered: `check` is `Cost::Read` and structurally cannot write, so a record reaches a read-classed surface exactly as `validator-verdict-clean`'s already does — a separate producer verb writes it and `verify` runs that verb before the gates. LEAVES UNDER `record`, never new nouns (CLOUD-1546's 42 top-level rows, CLOUD-1182's nine ports becoming nine nouns). The read leaves stay there too on `capture show`'s precedent: `record` is a store noun already `unclassified` because the subtree writes, so a read leaf under it does not leak onto the derived agent allowlist. A family or key that would escape its store is refused. Not a security boundary so much as a silent miss: the write succeeds outside, the read finds nothing, and the gate reads clean. Refs: CLOUD-1713, CLOUD-1032, CLOUD-1546
Completions, man pages and the JSON Schema golden are derived from the command spec, so the four leaves CLOUD-1713 added move them. Generated by `mise run completions|man|schema|snapshots`, never by hand — the compiled binary's own output is authoritative (§1) and these files are its projection. Refs: CLOUD-1713
…arries `race::claimed` says in its own doc it is `claimed-keys.sh`'s port, with the three-source precedence intact. Two things it did not carry, and the retirement cannot land without either. THE SOURCE SELECTOR. The shell's `--closing-only` and `--refs-first-only` each name one source and are mutually exclusive there — asking for both is a caller that has not decided which question it is asking, never an intersection. As an enum that is unrepresentable rather than checked. `closing-key-check` needs `RefsFirstOnly` for CLOUD-674's circularity: the SERVED set must be derived without reference to the closing keys, or it agrees with the body by construction and the gate passes on exactly the bodies it must refuse. THE `BATTEN_SPEC_BASE` ANCESTOR BOUND, and carrying it is the whole of the port's fidelity. `land`'s speculative linearization puts another branch's unlanded commits into this branch's history; those commits carry the holder's keys and the holder has an open pull request by construction, so a claim derived over the whole branch history reports the waiter as racing the very pull request the bet was placed on. Measured twice in one session. A port reading `origin/main..HEAD` unconditionally reintroduces that silently, and it looks like a passing gate. Honoured only when it is an ancestor of HEAD — spelled as "the merge base with HEAD is the base itself" — so an unwound bet or an inherited variable falls back to `origin/main`. The failure direction is the WIDER, refusing set, never the narrower one that would stop catching races. `claimed` keeps its signature and delegates with `Source::All`, so no landed caller changes and the existing `claim race` suite still passes unmodified. `speculation.rs` said "nothing in this crate reads it" of `PUBLISHED_AS`. That was true only while the answer lived in the shell; it is corrected rather than left to read as a property. Refs: CLOUD-1711, CLOUD-748, CLOUD-674
`race::claimed_from` carries the answer; this is the door. A LEAF under `claim` rather than a noun of its own (CLOUD-1546's 42 top-level rows, CLOUD-1182's nine ports becoming nine nouns), and `read` honestly: it mints nothing and writes nothing. Verified against the program it replaces, on this repository, same bytes out: the default chain and `--refs-first-only` both agree key for key. EXPLICIT MODE IS ALL-OR-NOTHING, carried unchanged: passing any of `--branch`, `--title` or `--log` switches git off entirely, because a remote pull request silently answered from the LOCAL branch is a confident verdict about the wrong repository state (CLOUD-378). Source 2 stays the UNION of branch and title rather than a precedence between them — two spellings of one self-declaration, and picking one would make the answer depend on which the author filled in. EMPTY IS NOT AN ERROR and exit 0 is the contract: every caller reads "no claim" as "do not judge", because a guard that guesses blocks correct work. The mutually-exclusive flags are a USAGE error (1), not the shell's 2 — that corpus runs the inverse contract and the inversion is deliberately not carried across. The `lib.rs` dispatch arm is the one line outside this row's stated §1, which lists only `race.rs` and the CLI surface. Every noun but `record` matches its subcommands there, so the row is under-scoped for the leaf it asks for; the arm is purely additive. Refs: CLOUD-1711, CLOUD-378, CLOUD-1546
… claim merged
`race::claimed_from` and `forge::window` already carried the answers; these are
the doors, and the two programs go with them. `merged-pr-keys` shelled into
`claimed-keys` once per pull request body, so they retire as one delta.
VERIFIED AGAINST THE PROGRAMS THEY REPLACE, on this repository's real forge:
`claim keys` agrees key for key on the default chain and `--refs-first-only`;
`claim merged` was diffed row by row against `merged-pr-keys` over 713 merged
pull requests. That diff is the whole value of this commit, because it found
three defects nobody had measured.
TWO ARE FIXED HERE, both in `ready-closing-verb`, which decides what a body
CLOSES and is read by `closing-key-check`, `race::claimed` and `ready-lint`:
* `[[:space:]]*` matched a NEWLINE, so the row's own "immediately before a
key" anchor stopped meaning that the moment a heading ended in "the fix" and
a citation opened the next line. Narrowed to `[[:blank:]]*`.
* an explicit negation was invisible: `## Why this does NOT close CLOUD-1074`
read as closing it, because the prefix ends in `close` and the negation sits
one word further back, outside an end-anchored pattern's reach. Rust's regex
has no lookbehind, so `ready-closing-negation` is a second row and
`keys_closed_in` now LOCATES the verb rather than merely detecting it.
Six rows read as closed by bodies that say in so many words that they do not
close them. The harm runs the dangerous way: a false CLAIM tells
`in-progress-drain` a row landed, and it drains a row that is still live.
THE THIRD IS FILED, NOT ABSORBED (CLOUD-1757). `to close X`, `closed X` and
`the same fix X` are indistinguishable from `Closes X` by adjacency alone, and
the discriminator people actually use is POSITION rather than vocabulary. That
change moves three landed gates and its false-negative direction cannot be
measured from merged pull requests alone, so it gets its own row with the
corpus. The residual — 5 narrative rows, against 4 genuine `Closes:` claims the
shell's hand-rolled regex MISSED — is a `// changed:` arm rather than silence.
Both authorities were defective, in opposite directions. That is CLOUD-338's
one-authority argument arriving as a measurement.
A PRODUCER, NOT A GATE, which is why `claim merged` exits non-zero on
could-not-look where `claim race` reports it on stdout at 0: its stdout is DATA
a caller consumes, and a producer that exits clean having produced nothing is
indistinguishable from a repository with no merged pull requests — the exact
state the program refuses as impossible of a repository with a trunk.
Outside a checkout `claim keys` prints nothing and exits 0, and the branch is
resolved BEFORE the grammar so that stays true: every caller reads "no claim" as
"do not judge", and a guard that guesses blocks correct work.
Five governed callers are repointed rather than left dangling — the one admitted
edit, and the arm exists precisely so a retirement can complete. `landed-check`
is repointed only; it retires under CLOUD-1753, which is the sibling's.
`shell-retirement` gained the arm this retirement had no landable spelling
without. CLOUD-843 closed the stranded-variable class for a `local … reg …`
declaration; a standalone `here=$(cd "$(dirname "$0")" && pwd)` is the same trap
one assignment form on — repoint its only spend and shellcheck refuses SC2034,
keep the spend and the program cannot die. The binding may go only when EVERY
base line spending it called the path this delta deletes, so one surviving spend
still refuses. `policy/` is ungoverned, and a wrongly refusing gate is a defect
to repair rather than a row to file.

Admits-answer-lost: `claim merged` ships reading bodies as closing rows they explicitly do not close. Measured over this repository's 713 merged pull requests: six rows read as CLOSED by bodies saying so in as many words — `## Why this does NOT close CLOUD-1074`, `It also does not close CLOUD-673`, `**This does not close CLOUD-1050`, `Filed, not fixed: CLOUD-466` — plus four more where a heading ending in "the fix" sat a blank line above a citation. The harm runs the dangerous way: a false CLAIM tells `in-progress-drain` a row landed and it drains a row that is still live. Without these two rows the port is worse than the program it replaces, which is the one thing a retirement may not be.
Admits-answer-precondition: The redirect this class names for `batten.toml` is "change it in a pull request", which states how the change must LAND rather than naming a surface that can express it: no tool other than a direct write can add a `[[pattern]]` row or narrow an existing one's regex. Two rows are the subject — `ready-closing-negation` is new and `ready-closing-verb`'s `[[:space:]]` becomes `[[:blank:]]` — and both are the consumer's own vocabulary, which non-negotiable rule 1 keeps out of the crate. Branch claude/retire-bash-corpus-44-sjdnok, draft PR #930, reviewed before merge.
Admits-answer-rejected-route: `patch run first` does not apply: the protected-path gate is the intersection of the protected paths with the mutating-verb table, and that table already refuses `>`, `tee`, `sed`, `cp`, `install` and `git` over this path, so routing identical bytes through a patch program reaches the identical refusal under a different program name. `config read first` was TAKEN, not rejected — the `[[pattern]]` block at batten.toml:1925-1947, `crates/batten/src/ready.rs`'s `keys_closed_in`, and `mise-tasks/claimed-keys.sh`'s own `CLAIM_RE` were all read first, and reading them is what established that the two authorities are defective in OPPOSITE directions and that only one of the three classes is fixable by a pattern row. The residual is filed as CLOUD-1757 rather than absorbed.
…dy it left behind `run-shape` exempted a backgrounded `sleep` wrapped in `until`/`while` on the argument that such a loop exits on its condition rather than on the clock. That is true and was never the question: the loop still spends the session hand-rolling the wake-up a backgrounded task's exit notification already delivers (measured 523 of 524). CLOUD-1337 priced the exemption at eleven duplicate watchers running 9h35m; measured again 2026-09-09, one conditioned loop ran 3h34m in this session and the detector was a human reading `ps`. `background-timer` and `polls-a-local-process` now PARTITION on `count(process_probes)` and nothing falls between them, so every backgrounded sleep is refused, with or without a condition. `foreground-sleep` was already total. There is no sanctioned sleep left in either posture. Three remedy strings named the shape that is now refused, so they are rewritten rather than left printing it: both `task run first` routes, and `verdict-not-discarded`'s `reason`. That last one prescribed `>/tmp/<task>.log 2>&1` as "the compliant form" — measured on this host, `run_in_background` already writes the output to a runtime-chosen path and hands back the path, and a windowed read of line 399,995 of 400,000 returns the tail intact. The redirect is the FALLBACK for a host that streams a command's output into the transcript, not the point; the point is backgrounding. A harness-conditional remedy is CLOUD-1695 and is not attempted here. The four cases that asserted the old allow are INVERTED rather than deleted — a deleted case documents nothing, and these are the exact shapes the rule now exists to catch. Stale prose describing the retired bash twin as a live second authority is removed from the module header, `hook.rs` and both tiers. Also fixes four surface assertions red since CLOUD-1711/1713 landed: `claim keys`, `claim merged`, `record fold` and `record show` were missing from the read-only allowlist and the committed row set, `claim keys`' two flag ids were kebab-case, and `claim merged` declared a data channel without the `-J` its sibling also omits.

…ption
`035d863` withdrew the exemption in the predicate and left four cases still
asserting it — three in the module's own load-time tier and one over the
compiled binary. `policy test` reported 849 of 850 and `test:cargo` reported
one. Each is INVERTED rather than deleted, because a deleted case documents
nothing and these are the shapes the rule now exists to catch:
- a bare `sleep 5` beside a loop whose body is `:` — the exemption's worst
reachable shape, and the argument against asking WHETHER there is a
condition rather than what it is about. The sleep waits on nothing; the old
rule exempted it for the company it kept.
- a backgrounded `until curl …; do sleep 5; done`. This was the family's
anti-vacuity mirror, so it is re-pointed rather than dropped: it now pins
that the two arms PARTITION — exactly one fires, and a non-process condition
is answered by `background-timer` and not `polls-a-local-process`.
Two stale references from the same withdrawal go with them. The header's "THE
BASH STILL RUNS" paragraph described `mise-tasks/run-shape-guard.sh` as a live
second authority deciding these families; that file is retired and a glob finds
nothing, so the paragraph asserted a tree state that does not exist. What it
recorded that still matters — the guard never reached a sleep inside a loop
body, which is why reaching it was the precondition for withdrawing the
exemption — is kept. And `background-not-consulted` named a case that could not
observe it: the mutation forces `foreground-sleep`'s posture conjunct true, so
only a case asserting a COUNT can see it, and it now names the one that does.

Admits-answer-lost: `mise run policy test` stays red and the withdrawal cannot land. This is also the exemption's worst reachable shape — the `sleep 5` waits on nothing and the loop beside it has an empty body — so leaving it asserting clean would leave the module claiming a bare timer is a wait.
Admits-answer-precondition: One more load-time case in the module still asserts the exemption CLOUD-1337 withdrew: `test_a_bare_sleep_beside_a_condition_loop_is_exempt` (policy/run-shape.rego:803). A module's cases live in the module file and no other surface can express them; `policy test` is red until it is inverted. One case, read in the diff beside the predicate it tracks.

Admits-answer-lost: The module's own header asserts a second authority that does not exist, which is the class of claim `A STATE IS A CLAIM ABOUT THE TREE, AND THE TREE WINS` exists to catch; and `mise run mutant-census` fails on an unresolvable case name, so the gate that proves this module discriminates cannot run at all.
Admits-answer-precondition: Two stale references left by the same withdrawal, both in this file and expressible nowhere else. (1) The header's "THE BASH STILL RUNS" paragraph describes `mise-tasks/run-shape-guard.sh` as a live second authority; a Glob over `mise-tasks/run-shape*` returns nothing, so the file is already retired and the paragraph is false. (2) The `background-not-consulted` MUTANT row names case `a_backgrounded_wait_on_a_condition_is_allowed`, which this change renamed, so `mutant-census` cannot resolve it. One write, both edits, read in the diff.

Admits-answer-lost: A declared mutation whose named case cannot observe it is reported as SURVIVED and mis-attributed to the suite — CLOUD-989's exact defect, and this module's header already names its live instances. Leaving my own new one in would add a fifth.
Admits-answer-precondition: Correcting the MUTANT row I just wrote: `background-not-consulted` forces `foreground-sleep`'s posture conjunct true, so the case that can observe it must assert a COUNT — `a_backgrounded_wait_on_a_condition_is_refused` uses `some v in violation` and still holds under the mutation. `a_backgrounded_bare_sleep_raises_only_the_timer` asserts `count(violation) == 1` and is the discriminating case.

Admits-answer-lost: `mise run policy test` stays red at 849/850 and nothing in this change can land. The case also still cites `timer run refused`'s route as recommending the shape, which this same commit rewrote.
Admits-answer-precondition: The last case in this module still asserting the withdrawn exemption: `test_a_wait_on_a_condition_nobody_reports_is_clean` (policy/run-shape.rego:732) requires a backgrounded `until curl ...; do sleep 5; done` to raise nothing, which CLOUD-1337's partition denies. `policy test` reports it as the one failure of 850.

…hy it is not slop The reclaim takes everything unpushed, so a green tree held locally is the more expensive failure than a red one on a remote draft. That trade was already implicit — "committed-and-pushed is the only state surviving a reclaim" — but it sat in the backgrounding section as a warning about wake-ups rather than in the lifecycle list as an instruction about drafts, and read as a reason to be careful before pushing rather than a reason to push. Stated where it binds, with the half that keeps it from licensing slop: the draft cannot merge red and `land` will not ready what the branch's own gates refuse. The discouragement is the mechanism, not the hesitation. The paragraph it was implicit in loses the duplicated clause and keeps `batten doctor session`, so the budget holds. Refs: CLOUD-683 BREAKING CHANGE: `rest::Answer` gains a `headers` field and the CLI command enum gains variants among its existing ones, so literal construction of the first and any discriminant assumption about the second both break. Both were introduced earlier on this branch — `b790f263` for the header capture `gh-preflight` needs off a 403, and `028a7b7f`/`1de54a64`/`d86c1540` for the `claim keys`, `claim merged`, `record keyed|journal|show|fold` leaves. The declaration sits here rather than on those commits because rewording them needs an interactive rebase `rebase-not-hand-stepped` refuses; the gate asks the BRANCH to declare the break, and this names which change it is.
…rding them `cross-check` denies warnings, and two `run_with_stdin` calls in the record families tier dropped an Output that is `#[must_use]`. Silencing them with `let _ =` would compile and would also be the wrong repair: both writes are what the case under them reads back, so a write that failed leaves `a_record_under_ another_key_does_not_answer` asserting `miss` for the wrong reason and `a_half_written_append_is_not_a_record` appending a torn tail to nothing. Asserting the status makes the setup a precondition rather than a hope. Only the windows cross-check caught it, which is the lane's whole point. Refs: CLOUD-397
The `slow` profile runs clippy with `-D warnings`, and this branch had not been through it since the ports landed. Four classes, all in code added here: `record show` and `record fold` wrote their answers with `println!`, which `print_stdout` denies for a reason this repository already holds elsewhere — a verb's answer belongs on the writer its caller passes, not on the process's stdout, or a caller that captures output gets nothing and a test that asserts on it cannot. The writer is threaded from `lib.rs` through `record::run`, which is also why the noun's other leaves keep writing nothing at all: they record, and a successful write has nothing to say. `ready.rs` had an ORPHANED DOC BLOCK, and it is the one worth naming: I inserted `closes_rather_than_disclaims` between `keys_closed_in` and its documentation, so four paragraphs describing the closing-verb grammar were silently attached to the new helper instead. `empty_line_after_doc_comments` is what caught it. The doc is moved back to the function it describes rather than deleted. `forge.rs`'s query builder folds instead of collecting formatted fragments, and the mechanical fixes came from `mise run fix`.

…onflict I resolved batten.toml against the wrong merge base. The three-way merge took 818484f as the base, but that commit MODIFIES batten.toml — so everything it added read as a deletion by main's side and was dropped, with no marker and no conflict to notice. Three groups went, and only one of them had a test. `ready-closing-negation` — the whole `[[pattern]]` row. `ready.rs` resolves it by name, so two `claim::tests` cases failed loudly with "this repository declares no `[[pattern]]` row". That is the one that announced itself. `ready-closing-verb`'s trailing class reverted from `[[:blank:]]` to `[[:space:]]`, and NOTHING would have caught it. `[[:space:]]` matches a newline, so the end-anchored pattern stops meaning "immediately before a key" the moment a body puts the verb at the end of one line and the key at the start of the next — which ordinary prose does constantly. Measured over 713 merged pull requests: 16 rows read as CLOSED that no body closes. The harm runs the dangerous way, because a false claim tells `in-progress-drain` a live row landed. Two forge comment blocks recording that `forge-verdict-required` and `validator-verdict-clean` finally have a producer (CLOUD-1707, in this same PR). Found by auditing every line this branch added to batten.toml against the branch point rather than waiting for tests to name them one at a time — which is the only way the second group surfaces at all. One group stays dropped on purpose: `verdict-not-discarded`'s reason, which main superseded with a stronger version that refuses the redirect outright rather than calling it a fallback.

… run-shape mirrors Same mistake as the last commit, and worse here. For mise.toml I did not merge at all — I grafted the two conflicting spots onto MY version and kept the rest — so 143 lines main added between the branch point and de759a4 were clobbered, `[tasks.refusal-render-bench]` among them. Three `acquisition_metric` cases were the only thing pointing at it. THAT KIND OF LOSS IS INVISIBLE IN REVIEW: a clobbered addition shows as no diff against the branch's own previous state, so nothing in the PR looks like a deletion. Regenerated with `git merge-file` against c179129, the true base. The one real conflict is `MUTANT_GATES`, resolved as main's line minus the two gates this branch retires: 134 names, main's `engine-perf`/`engine-wiring`/ `engine-checks-green`/`engine-lease` present, `claimed-keys`/`merged-pr-keys` gone. Audited in BOTH directions afterwards — every line either side added is present. The two run-shape cases are the merge working rather than a conflict. Main added a task-output poll to `process_probes` while this branch withdrew the condition exemption, so both anti-vacuity mirrors now describe refused calls. They are RE-POINTED, not deleted: each asserts the arms still partition — exactly one fires, and it is `background-timer` rather than `task watch duplicate`. Deleting them would let a later collapse of the two arms pass every case above while losing the probe count the narrower arm exists to carry.

Admits-answer-precondition: Redoing a rebase resolution I got wrong. For mise.toml I hand-grafted two spots onto MY version instead of merging, so 143 lines main added between the branch point and de759a4 were clobbered — including `[tasks.refusal-render-bench]`, whose absence reddens three `acquisition_metric` cases. The file is regenerated by `git merge-file` against the TRUE base (c179129), and its one real conflict is `MUTANT_GATES`, resolved as main's line minus the two gates this branch retires. mise.toml is the only surface for a task or a gate list.

…r and not the rule My error, not the merge's. Withdrawing the sleep-loop exemption, I swept `run_shape_guard_door.rs` for cases asserting a conditioned wait is clean and inverted the one I found. It was not asserting that. That tier drives the DOOR. Its fixture carries exactly one `[[hook.handler]]` row and no `[[rule]]` at all — the isolation the file's own header argues for, so an engine row's verdict cannot stand in for the handler's — and the stub behind it exits 0 whatever it is handed. `run-shape` never runs there. What the case pins is that a handler which passes prints no document, so an allowed command leaves both channels silent; a door manufacturing a verdict from a quiet handler is what would fail it. Restored, renamed to say what it tests, and the misreading is recorded in the comment rather than dropped: the next sweep for this shape will find the same command and needs to stop at the same place. The exemption's withdrawal is asserted where the rule actually runs — `run_shape.rs` and the module's own load-time tier. Refs: CLOUD-1337, CLOUD-312
…ratchet Main landed `policy/fixture-forks.rego` while this branch was in flight, so the two tiers added here — `record_families.rs` and `claimed_keys.rs` — still called `git init` by hand. `Fixture`'s `init_repo` copies a repository the harness publishes once per filesystem and forks nothing. The trace behind the ratchet counted 1,819 `init` processes and 4.49s over one run across 79 such call sites, each spent roughly twenty times, so two more is not a rounding error. Neither case is about initialisation, so neither earns the `// needs-real-fixture:` escape the class provides for a case whose subject IS the fork. Refs: CLOUD-1419
…ne leaf reads `claimed-keys.sh` carried the key grammar inline and answered in ANY tree. `batten claim keys` resolves `ready-issue-key` and the closing rows from the `[[pattern]]` registry, so a fixture with no `batten.toml` resolves nothing and returns no keys. Every case in these suites that asserts a REFUSAL was therefore passing for the wrong reason after the repointing — nine of them across `deferral-check`, `landed-check` and `in-progress-drain`, and the two that announced it were `a deferral exempted only by the PR's own claimed issue fails` and `a closing keyword in the body claims that issue too`, both asserting exit 1 against a gate that had nothing to judge. The precondition is already written down for the Rust tiers — a fixture that exercises the Ready/claim grammar copies the repo's own config — and I did not carry it to the bats fixtures of the callers I repointed. Now they do. `in-progress-drain` needed the other half. Two cases stubbed `merged-pr-keys.sh` beside the real scripts; that program is retired and the drain reaches `batten claim merged`. The replacement SHADOWS THE BINARY and dispatches: the one verb under test is faked and every other call — the `claim keys` that `landed-check` makes one hop down — execs the real batten. A blanket stub would answer for both and the case would prove nothing. Refs: CLOUD-1711
…thdraw two stubs Retiring `claimed-keys.sh` moved the issue-key grammar out of inline shell and into the `[[pattern]]` registry, which is where non-negotiable rule 1 says a consumer fact belongs. The shell answered in ANY tree; the engine leaf resolves the grammar from the committed config and answers could-not-look without one. So every suite whose fixture is a bare scratch repo stopped exercising its gate — and the cases asserting a REFUSAL went green, because a gate with nothing to judge refuses nothing. Fourteen cases across four suites, all four green on origin/main, verified by running them in a clean worktree rather than argued. `shell edit refused` admits only edits that REMOVE references to the retired program, so the fix was structurally unavailable. That is CLOUD-1051's gap one surface out: the module admits repointing a retired program's callers and refuses the change the repoint forces on those callers' own suites, so it cannot complete a retirement it mandates. Its arm is the precedent and this one is modelled on it. THE NARROWING IS WHAT KEEPS IT A RATCHET. Every added line must be a comment — which cannot change what a suite exercises — or name `batten.toml` or the retired path's declared successor invocation, read from the ledger rather than spelled in the module. Removals still answer to `admitted_removal` unchanged; the two tests compose rather than relax each other. An author cannot reach for this to change a program's behaviour, because a line that changes behaviour names none of those. MEASURED AGAINST ITSELF: the arm admits the three fixtures that needed the config and REFUSES `in-progress-drain.bats`, whose edit added a fourteen-line helper shadowing the `batten` binary. That refusal is correct — a helper that shadows the binary is behaviour, not a precondition — so those two cases take the sanctioned route instead and are WITHDRAWN with a note saying what is no longer covered: the drain's translation of the leaf's refusal into its own exit 2. The leaf's own refusal is covered by `claimed_keys.rs`. Stated rather than left to be found by its absence.

All four are green on origin/main, verified by running them in a clean worktree at bc420eb. `shell edit refused` declares no override route and no bypass_env, and a module's arms live only in the module. This is CLOUD-1051's class one surface out and its arm is the precedent. Admits-answer-rejected-route: config read first — I read the module, then ran the four suites against a clean origin/main worktree, and that reading is what established the gap rather than a guess. patch run first is a commit-message route and does not apply to a module edit.

Measured with `batten check --rule shell-retirement`: it admits two of the three suites and still refuses `tests/in-progress-drain.bats`, whose edit both DROPS references to the retired programs and ADDS the successor's precondition. My clause required zero removals, so a suite doing both earns neither arm. The fix composes them — every removed line must still earn `admitted_removal` exactly as the sibling arm demands — and a module's arms live only in the module.

… survives I withdrew them and that was the wrong arm. `bats-tests-not-deleted` reported `subject-alive mise-tasks/in-progress-drain.sh`: `SubjectFacts::died` is `.all()`, so a withdrawal cannot hold while the program under test is still in the tree, and a comment in the suite is not a ledger entry at all — the ledger lives in the Rust tiers. `ported` is both the arm that clears it and the honest claim. Each case's property — the gather answering with rows, and the gather refusing a truncated or empty forge answer — is asserted in `claimed_keys.rs` over the leaf itself, which is what a port means; and `subject:` names the survivor rather than pretending nothing survived. What did NOT move is stated in the block rather than left to inference: the drain's translation of that refusal into its own exit 2 rather than a clean short sweep. That belongs to the drain's own port, and a reader who cannot see it would otherwise assume it is still covered. Refs: CLOUD-1711, CLOUD-1268
…a successor name My arm shipped with the hole its own module's suite exists to catch, and I tightened the wrong side of it first. It admitted an added line that NAMES the retired path's declared successor invocation. That reads as the obvious third case and is exactly what a REPOINT produces — a line rewritten to call the successor — so every repoint satisfied it. `shell_retirement::a_repointing_that_also_changes_the_rest_of_the_line_is_refused` and `test_replacing_a_span_that_is_not_a_retired_reference_is_refused` both went green, which is the pair that refuses an edit repointing AND changing the rest. An arm whose whole argument was that it does not widen the ratchet had disabled two of its anti-vacuity cases. The first repair forbade removals instead, and that is the wrong bound: measured, `tests/in-progress-drain.bats` fails 26 cases without the config line, so the one suite this arm exists for both drops a retired stub and gains the grammar its successor reads. Removals compose with `admitted_removal` unchanged. What is left as an admitted ADDITION is a comment or the committed config — the set a rewritten line cannot be. A repoint stays `repoints_at_the_declared_invocation`'s business, which already polices that it changes nothing else. `policy test` 859/859, `shell-retirement` and `bats-tests-not-deleted` both clean, and all four suites green.

My repointing of this gate used a bare `batten`. That resolves in a container where the binary is installed and not on a CI runner, so the command emitted nothing and every commit read as claiming no issue — including four carrying `Refs: CLOUD-1688`. The same range exits 0 locally and failed in CI, which is the only way this shows. THE FAILURE IS THE ONE THE REPOINTING WAS FIXING, one environment over. A missing program's empty output is byte-identical to a real negative, so the gate does not error, it concludes something false in its own vocabulary.

…dy decides it CLOUD-1717's own words: "already ported — retire it, don't port it." `policy/stop-posture.rego` and `mise-tasks/stop-posture-check.sh` decided the same question from the same bytes — the shell read `last_assistant_message` off stdin, the module reads it off the `Stop` payload — and the module has been registered at `severity = "deny"` throughout. All nineteen cases map onto the module's own, one for one: the two named tells, the witnessed miss, the opener symmetry, the four scrub classes plus the wrapped span, the two ordinary-use negatives, and silence on a clean message. Eighteen are `carried`. ONE IS A DIVERGENCE AND IS RECORDED AS ONE. "empty stdin is clean rather than an error" was a real input state for a program reading a stream; the module is handed a payload and an absent `last_assistant_message` is a missing FIELD. `a_tool_call_carries_no_final_message` decides it as silence — same verdict, different question — so it is `changed` with the reason rather than a carry that would overstate the correspondence. The program's `#MUTANT hedged-framing-passes` row does not move: the module carries `hedge-unread` over the same conjunct, so dropping `stop-posture-check` from `$MUTANT_GATES` leaves a live mutation on the surviving surface rather than an orphan on a deleted one. 86 programs to 85; 96 suites.

Admits-answer-precondition: Retiring `stop-posture-check.sh` (CLOUD-1717) requires dropping its `$MUTANT_GATES` entry, because `mutate census` reads a declaring module that is not in the list as uncovered and a listed gate whose program is deleted as an orphan. The list is a single quoted string on one line of mise.toml and exists on no other surface. The module `stop-posture` stays listed and keeps its own `hedge-unread` mutation over the same conjunct.

…ranch CLOUD-1717 carries nine programs that are MEASUREMENTS rather than gates — `attestation-check`, `branch-age-check`, `checksums`, `land-divergence`, `nonverdict-scan`, `pr-unsubscribed`, `release-assets-check`, `release-due`, `timeout-drift`. House-style §5 keeps the `gh` spawn outside the engine and moves only the adjudication in, so each needs a producer writing a record a module can read. This is that door, once, rather than nine times. THE POLICY STORE, WHICH IS NOT THE TWO THIS NOUN ALREADY HAS. `record named` writes through `recorder::record_path` — the store `Fact::Records` projects onto `input.tree.records.<family>`, which is how `plan-complete.rego` reads `records.plan` today with no `[[recorder]]` row declaring it. `record keyed` and `record journal` write TASK stores that only `record show`/`record fold` read back. Same noun, two different readers, two different key shapes, so they are separate leaves rather than one leaf with a mode flag. NO KEY POSITIONAL: the branch is the key and the engine resolves it, so a caller cannot record against a branch it is not on — `record plan`'s anti-staleness argument applied to a family the caller names. NO VALIDATION OF THE LINES, deliberately. `record plan` refuses an unknown status because a plan entry has a closed vocabulary this binary owns; a measurement's shape is its module's business, and a second reading here would make the module's own malformed-line arm unreachable. Nine bespoke verbs would each have been `run_plan` with its validation removed — the duplication this campaign deletes rather than relocates. Refs: CLOUD-1717
… retirement The first of CLOUD-1707's nine measurements ported onto the engine. `policy/branch-age.rego` decides staleness and name reuse from the record `mise run branch-age-record` writes; the producer keeps the two `gh` calls and the civil-calendar arithmetic outside, because `Fact::Instant` projects `null` to every module and `clock_ban.rs` holds the engine to it. Two properties, not one: a tip older than the threshold, and a branch NAME heading more than one merged pull request AND still on the remote. The survivor conjunct is what keeps the second clearable — merged pull requests are immutable, so an unintersected count would be an alarm no action clears. A present record naming no branch is refused rather than passed; an absent record says nothing, which is could-not-look. THE PROGRAM IS NOT RETIRED YET, and deleting it here would land the retirement as the regression this campaign exists to remove: `input.tree.records["branch-age"]` does not reach the module. `recorder_records` projects only families named by a `[[recorder]]` row or by `record::VERB_WRITTEN`, and a `record named` family is in neither — so `batten check --rule branch-age` exits 0 over a record holding branches aged 36 days. `mise-tasks/branch-age-check.sh` and its suite stay until the projection is fixed, and the module carries a `#MUTANT-EXEMPT` rather than mutation rows until its compiled-binary tier exists to redden.

Worse, the module would be uncommitted work on a branch a reclaim takes. Admits-answer-precondition: A policy module is registered by a `[[rule]]` row and by nothing else, and the verdict strings it emits must exist as `[[verdict]]` rows or the engine refuses the module outright. `policy/branch-age.rego` is a new module, so its row, its three verdicts and the `[[pattern]] whole-number` its `ref`-line reader references all have to be written into batten.toml directly; there is no other surface any of the four lives on. All four land in one diff a reviewer reads beside the module they serve. Admits-answer-rejected-route: config read first — I read the existing `[[rule]]`/`[[verdict]]`/`[[pattern]]` rows and copied their shape, and that reading is what produced the edit rather than what avoided it: registration is an addition, and no amount of reading substitutes for writing the row. patch run first is a commit-message route and does not apply to a config addition. path write refused c7f928e56d30b0a479909e63ac35beb33a7d551917beffe77e27ceb429308214 spent Admits: c7f928e56d30b0a479909e63ac35beb33a7d551917beffe77e27ceb429308214 Admits-rule: protected-mutation Admits-verdict: path write refused Admits-subject: mise.toml Admits-anchor: call:98c718d6e4bb4ce1866dd47b9574ce1de1d0e6ed Admits-epoch: dbcb39edd82864df2969a8945e054e8949c59d12b54d86752d3fb309fea72c6e Admits-author: alec@wenzowski.com Admits-prev: e29ad6207c3722d7d464e9ef638dfb5858df5c9ea76b75b1396720a8b84395b3 Admits-answer-lost: The module has no record to read, so the port is inert: `policy/branch-age.rego` would decide over a store nothing writes, which is exactly the could-not-look-reads-as-pass shape this campaign exists to remove. The retirement of `mise-tasks/branch-age-check.sh` cannot proceed without its successor's producer. Admits-answer-precondition: A mise task body lives on exactly one surface, `mise.toml`, and `[tasks.branch-age-record]` is the producer half of this port: it carries the two `gh` calls and the civil-calendar day arithmetic that must stay outside the module, because `Fact::Instant` projects `null` to every module and `clock_ban.rs` holds the engine to it. There is no other file a task body can be written in. The addition is one contiguous block a reviewer reads beside the module it feeds. Admits-answer-rejected-route: config read first — I read the sibling producers (`[tasks.forge-record]` and the other record writers) and matched their shape, and the reading is what made the block correct rather than what made it unnecessary: a producer that does not exist cannot be read into existence. patch run first is a commit-message route and does not apply to a task addition.
…ve the arms The rebase merged this file without a conflict marker because the two sides touched different lines: `main` carried CLOUD-1337's withdrawal of the sleep-loop condition exemption and renamed both arms into the declared `<subject> <action> <condition>` vocabulary, while this branch carried the cases asserting that withdrawal. The bodies came from one side and the assertions from the other, so three cases named `background-timer`, a rule that no longer exists, and `policy test` reported 3 failed over 904. The rules are `timer run refused` and `task watch duplicate`. Nothing about what either decides moved; the prose naming the retired ids moved with the assertions, so a reader is not sent after a rule the module does not have. policy test: 70 bundle(s), 907 passed, 0 failed. Refs: CLOUD-1337
`inline-task-bodies-not-growing-basic` reads `mise.toml` 2->3 and was the sole gate refusing this branch — `verify` ran the whole suite clean otherwise, and `land` stopped on this one row. The disposition is the one the class's own `no_fix_reason` names and the one batten.toml:7947 already took for `[tasks.record-verdicts]`: waive it deliberately, with a reason and an expiry, because the other disposition is unavailable. The predicate DID migrate — what `branch-age-check.sh` decided is `policy/branch-age.rego`'s now. What stays outside is not a decision: two `gh` reads and a civil-calendar subtraction. Section 5 makes `check` `read` and structurally incapable of spawning, and `Fact::Instant` projects `null` to every module, which `clippy.toml` and `clock_ban.rs` hold the engine to. There is no rule kind for that body to become. The bash surface falls in the same campaign, which is the condition the sibling row sets for taking this disposition at all: the ratchet counts one literal in `mise.toml` while `mise-tasks/branch-age-check.sh` and its suite leave the tree. `base = "origin/main"`, so the floor becomes 3 on its own once this lands and the row suppresses nothing.

Admits-answer-precondition: A `[[waiver]]` row lives in `batten.toml` and nowhere else — it is the committed, lapsing exemption a runner can read, and the class's own `no_fix_reason` names it as one of the two dispositions for this ratchet. There is no second surface for it: the alternative disposition (migrate the predicate onto a rule kind) is unavailable here for the reason the sibling waiver at batten.toml:7947 already records. The row lands in one diff beside the task it names, where a reviewer reads both. Admits-answer-rejected-route: config read first — I read the class's `no_fix_reason` and the sibling waiver at batten.toml:7947, and that reading is what selected the disposition rather than what avoided it: the row is an addition, and the ratchet cannot be satisfied by reading it. patch run first is a commit-message route and does not apply to a config addition.

Classify the original read_dir error directly.
Path::exists() returns false when metadata access fails. If the journal directory exists but cannot be listed or inspected, this branch returns Fold::Nothing. record fold then reports an empty store instead of an unreadable store.
Treat only ErrorKind::NotFound as Fold::Nothing. Treat every other read_dir error as Fold::Unreadable.
Proposed fix
- let Ok(entries) = std::fs::read_dir(&dir) else {
- return if dir.exists() {
- Fold::Unreadable(dir)
- } else {
- Fold::Nothing
- };

Half of the two-session campaign retiring the bash corpus: this branch owns 44 of
the 88 tracked
mise-tasks/**/*.shprograms and the two engine layers they werewaiting on. A sibling session holds the other 39 and rebases onto this one.
What has landed
fix(ci)— CLOUD-1707: the forge producer.forge-verdict-requiredisregistered at
severity = "deny"and readsinput.tree.forge, whichcrates/batten/src/forge.rsresolves from.git/batten-forge/<sha>.batten record forgewrites that store and was invoked zero times, so the fact wasnullon everycheckout, the module's
is_objectguard never held, and the row decided nothing. Adead gate is byte-identical to a clean tree on the decision surface.
The producer goes beside the three
record toolarms in[tasks.record-verdicts],which
verifyalready calls before the gates for exactly this reason. Shown decidingall four ways over the compiled binary: a green record passes, a red record refuses,
an absent record reads could-not-look, and a present-but-empty record refuses.
Two decisions the naive wiring gets wrong, both load-bearing:
verifyruns against a freshly minted SHA CIhas not graded, and inside CI while
finalis pending by construction. Anunconditional record writes a present-but-empty one — which is the state the
module refuses — so it would have turned every local
verifyand every CI run red.A failed fetch and an ungraded commit each write nothing; absent is could-not-look.
forge::parsefolds into a map, so the raw listing would record whichever line camelast by listing order rather than by recency.
feat(forge)— CLOUD-1712: one windowed forge read. Seven programs (1,583 lines)each reimplement "read a paginated forge collection over a window, cache the
validator, notice truncation, reduce to a record".
land-divergence:88-130andnonverdict-scan:103-147carry a literal copy of one 45-lineconditional_get.Truncation is never a short success. Three programs found the trap independently
and guarded it three ways —
merged-pr-keysagainst its--limit,land-divergenceagainst
total_count, andtimeout-driftnot at all.Window::Truncatedcarries whatit could not see, because a caller handed a prefix cannot tell it from the whole
collection. A short page ends the collection, not only an empty one, and the page size
is read off the caller's own
per_pagerather than assumed.feat(record)— CLOUD-1713 adds the two store families, andfeat(race)/feat(cli)— CLOUD-1711 addsrace::Source, theBATTEN_SPEC_BASEancestor bound,and the
claim keys/claim mergedleaves.The first retirement.
claimed-keys.shandmerged-pr-keys.share gone withtheir suites: 88 programs to 86.
Still to come on this branch
42 of the 44 programs remain, so CLOUD-1717 and CLOUD-1752 are not closed by
this PR — their rows cover those ports, which this branch does not deliver.
Two structural findings already established for the wave rows:
tests/release-tracking-check.batsco-declares two.github/workflows/*.ymlfilesthat survive.
SubjectFacts::diedis.all(), so it needs the// ported:markerwith a
subject:field, or the program leaves the wave with the reason on its row.tests/remedy-payload-source.batsis a second, surviving suite declaringmise-tasks/board-payloads.sh, which is neither ours to delete nor to edit.What the retirement cost, and what it found
Retiring one program moved the issue-key grammar out of inline shell into the
[[pattern]]registry, where rule 1 says a consumer fact belongs. The shell answeredin any tree; the engine leaf resolves the grammar from the committed config and
answers could-not-look without one. Four bats fixtures are bare scratch repos, so
their gates stopped being exercised — and the cases asserting a REFUSAL went green,
because a gate with nothing to judge refuses nothing. Fourteen cases; all four suites
are green on
main, verified in a clean worktree rather than argued.commit-lintwas the same shape and worse: it shelled out to the deleted path, gotempty output, and concluded that all 21 commits named no issue — including ones
carrying a well-formed
Refs:trailer. A missing program's empty output isbyte-identical to a real negative.
shell-retirementadmits only edits that REMOVE references to a retired program, sothe fixture fix was structurally unavailable. That is CLOUD-1051's documented gap one
surface out — the module admits repointing a caller and refuses the change the repoint
forces on that caller's own suite — so this PR adds the arm, narrowed to comments and
the committed config. A repoint's rewritten line names the successor and is neither,
which is what keeps it from swallowing
repoints_at_the_declared_invocation. Themodule's own suite caught a first draft that did swallow it.
