📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds configuration contracts for board columns, transcript harnesses, forge credentials, and policy providers. Claim and landed checks now use resolved board columns. Transcript parsing requires an explicit surveyed grammar. Credential and policy selection use consumer-declared values. Trust tracking, schemas, documentation, and integration fixtures reflect these contracts. Priority: ➖ Normal Severity of issue fixed: Medium Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Credential checks, policy validation, compatibility ordering, verification gates, and build-space configuration still have material unresolved defects. These should be corrected before merge to avoid unsupported health verdicts, invalid configuration acceptance, and build failures. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

…ands CLOUD-1284's three-word rule-id grammar — `<subject> <action> <condition>`, each word drawn from `[vocabulary]` — is NOT on `main`, which still carries `no-bare-cargo` and `rebase-not-hand-stepped`. It is on an unlanded sibling branch that migrates all 136 ids, and this branch met it only because `land` speculatively replayed onto that branch's head while it held the landing lease. So this is forward-compatibility, not a fix for a broken tree. `config name other` is a legal id under `main`'s rules today, where no grammar is enforced, and remains legal after the sibling lands; `no-board-column-in-core` is legal only until then, and would arrive as a 137th id that branch's migration never saw. Renaming now costs nothing and spares whoever lands second the conflict. The subject word is the part worth recording, because two constraints close against each other: a rule id IS validated against the subject list, and a rule id does NOT count as spending a word. So a `forbid` row cannot introduce a new subject — measured both directions against the sibling's engine, adding a `board` subject was refused as dead vocabulary, and keeping `board name other` without it was refused as not in the list. An existing word is the only route, and `config` is the honest one: the column vocabulary is config-owned, declared in `[board]`, and the violation this row names is the core spelling it instead. The rule itself is unchanged — same glob, same regex over the comparison shape in both operand orders, same `no_fix_reason`.

…abstains `transcript.rs` carried ONE host's record shape and no `Harness` dispatch at all — zero references to the type, against ~30 Claude-shaped literals deciding what parses: the roles at :944-945, the block types at :973/:985/:1089, the stop reasons at :224-234, and thirteen camelCase `serde(rename)` fields. Fed any other host's transcript, every field decoded to `None`, `parse` yielded an empty stream, and four gates read that as a clean session — declared-done-not-landed, deny-then-retry, non-empty-frontier-at-stop, and unprompted self-write. The module's own header forbids exactly this: degradation must never present as a false green. THE GRAMMAR IS A TYPE, NOT A BRANCH. `parse`/`parse_keyed` now take a `RecordShape` rather than a `Harness`, and there is no `RecordShape` to hand them until `Harness::transcript_shape()` has answered `Surveyed`. So an unsurveyed host's bytes cannot reach the parser at all — the compiler refuses it, where a runtime check would be a branch somebody forgets. One variant today is the point rather than a placeholder: CLOUD-1781 adds what a survey measures. WHICH HOST WROTE THE FILE IS A CONSUMER FACT, so it moved to `batten.toml` as `[transcript] harness`, which is non-negotiable rule 1 applied to the seam that broke it. It joins `path`, `memory_root` and `tasks` on the table whose own doc already licenses a fourth fact about one host rather than a second authority. Omitted is could-not-look, never a default: `cli.rs:1176-1184` states the precedent — an unnamed host "declares nothing rather than borrowing a default's declarations" — and defaulting here would read somebody else's transcript through this host's grammar and report the zero events it yields as clean. Two new could-not-look states rather than one, kept apart for the reason `Absent` and `Unreadable` already are: they are different facts and only one names a repair. `Unnamed` is a config that chose no grammar; `Unsurveyed` is a host whose shape nobody has fetched, carrying the row that owes it. The shape question is asked BEFORE the file is read, so a missing file cannot mask an unsurveyed host — the two are different repairs and the weaker one must not win. CODEX IS UNSURVEYED, DELIBERATELY. Its wire format is a near-verbatim clone of Claude's today, which is precisely why `write_tools:237-240` refuses to fold the two into a shared constant: coincidence is not agreement, and a shape assumed from a neighbour re-points silently the day that stops being true. The census gained a kind rather than reusing one. `transcript` was compared only on `TranscriptPathRemoved`, and a config that keeps `path` while dropping `harness` is the quieter spelling of the same loss — it still names a file, and nothing reads it. Its test asserts the strengthening direction too: declaring a harness must NOT register, or the clamp would refuse the edit that closes this. `perf.rs` replaced `$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR` unconditionally, so on every other host the substitution was a no-op and the measured arm ran against an unexpanded path — a wrong number, silently. `Wiring::project_dir_var` carries it now, `None` where nobody looked, and the pair REFUSES to measure rather than measuring through a guess. The consumer audit was the compiler's, not a grep's: three `match Capability` sites turned up that a search had missed, and `doctor.rs`'s arm — whose comment promised "a fifth variant is a compile error here instead of a silent pass" — delivered exactly that. Both new states fail there rather than pass, since a transcript that silently stops four gates deciding is what that verb exists to surface. Refs: CLOUD-1624 BREAKING CHANGE: `transcript::resolve` takes the declared `Option<Harness>`, and `transcript::parse`/`parse_keyed` take a `RecordShape`. `hook::Wiring` gains `project_dir_var`. `transcript::Capability` gains `Unnamed` and `Unsurveyed`, so an exhaustive match over it needs two more arms.

CLOUD-1624 makes an undeclared harness could-not-look rather than a silent zero, so without this line `declared-done-not-landed`, `deny-then-retry`, non-empty-frontier-at-stop and `unprompted self-write` all abstain here. The line is not a workaround for the new gate; it is the consumer fact the gate exists to require, and non-negotiable rule 1 puts which host wrote the transcript in the consumer's own config rather than in the core. Admits-answer-precondition: No surface owns `batten.toml`'s `[transcript]` table; `config lint` and `doctor` only report on it, and neither can author a key. The change is one line — `harness = "claude-code"` beside the `path` this table already declares — visible in the diff of draft PR #911 a reviewer reads before it lands. Admits-answer-rejected-route: `config read first` — I read the `[transcript]` table and the `TranscriptConfig` doc above it, and reading is what established that this table already carries three facts about one host (`path`, `memory_root`, `tasks`) and that its own doc licenses a fourth joining them rather than opening a second authority. Reading cannot add the key. `patch run first` names a commit-message route and does not apply to a config edit.

…ere it reads none `ci-hygiene` matches GitHub Actions expression language in its rule bodies, and nothing declared that. Worse than the strings: its modules key on any tracked document carrying a `jobs:` mapping, and GitLab names jobs at the top level, Buildkite uses `steps:`, a Jenkinsfile is not YAML. So on those consumers the document set is empty, every violation is vacuous, and the preset reports CLEAN — a dead gate and a clean tree, byte-identical from outside. The guard's own comment already named the state, "a tree with no such document is answering for nothing", and then passed it. PER MODULE, NOT PER MANIFEST, AND THAT IS THE WHOLE DESIGN. The row said `ci-hygiene` was the only GitHub-specific preset of the seven. It is not: measuring all fifteen module sources found three carrying provider syntax, the third being `mise`'s `action-version-matches-the-pin`, which matches a step's `uses: jdx/mise-action@<sha>` coordinate. `mise` also ships `task-over-executable`, which decides task argv and reads no provider at all — so a manifest-level field would have had to call that preset GitHub-specific and switch off a module that works on every host. This is CLOUD-1672's correction to `scope` arriving one subject later, and its doc says why in advance: true of every preset that existed when it was written, and false the moment a subject has something to say about both. The selection FILTERS and the refusal fires only when it comes back empty. That is what keeps `mise-preset` deciding task argv at `mediated_call` with no provider declared, while `mise-preset-tree` — the same preset, the other surface — needs one. Both spellings are in this repository's own config now, which is the demonstration: a manifest-level declaration could not have told those two apart. WHAT THIS REFUSAL CLAIMS IS MORE THAN ITS SCOPE SIBLING'S. The scope check beside it is candid that it closes no hole — `check_tree_paths_are_emittable` catches a wrong-surface module downstream anyway, so what it buys is a refusal that precedes compilation. Nothing downstream notices a consumer on another CI provider. Stated in the test doc rather than borrowing the neighbour's modesty. Measured live on this tree before any test was written: `check --rule ci-hygiene` refused naming both sides, then loaded at exit 0 once the row declared the provider. Three cases hold it — the refusal, the same preset loading once declared, and a provider-agnostic module loading with nothing declared. The second and third are the anti-vacuity pair: without them a build that refuses every preset satisfies the first. Refs: CLOUD-1625 BREAKING CHANGE: `preset::PresetModule` gains `provider` and `rules::Rule` gains `provider`, so a struct literal of either needs the new field. A `[[rule]]` enabling a preset whose modules read a CI provider must declare that provider or the config no longer loads. Admits: f579ff237faad562bbbd6b6c40ebc3f6cf1b1829540963ba5fb4b5265cccde2c Admits-rule: protected-mutation Admits-verdict: path write refused Admits-subject: batten.toml Admits-anchor: call:dcdc917223ec9593c303850a07dde3b2cbeb6ab2 Admits-epoch: cb2d5de7ef9734836b56e9573e84ed838f78f16236b27f6ab31d15e39e69a8f8 Admits-author: alec@wenzowski.com Admits-prev: 6ca12e3153083fa257780e072d40919805f0211f18515696419dc4bf9a3cd029 Admits-answer-lost: This repository's own `ci-hygiene` and tree-scoped `mise` rules stop loading. Measured just now, live, on this tree: `batten check --rule ci-hygiene` refuses with "every module there reads github-actions, and this row declares no provider". That refusal is CLOUD-1625's whole point — before it, those modules evaluated over an empty document set on any non-GitHub consumer and reported a clean tree they never read. The two lines are the consumer fact the gate exists to require, and rule 1 puts a consumer fact in the consumer's own config. Admits-answer-precondition: No surface owns `batten.toml`'s `[[rule]]` rows; `config lint` only reports on them and cannot author a key. The change is two lines — `provider = "github-actions"` on the `ci-hygiene` row and on `mise-preset-tree`, the two rows that enable modules reading that provider's language — visible in the diff of draft PR #911 a reviewer reads before it lands. Admits-answer-rejected-route: `config read first` — I read the rows and the preset manifests, and reading is what established that only two of the three preset-enabling rows need the key: `mise-preset` at `mediated_call` compiles `task-over-executable`, which reads no provider, while `mise-preset-tree` compiles `action-version-matches-the-pin`, which matches a step's `uses:` coordinate.

…ere it reads none `ci-hygiene` matches GitHub Actions expression language in its rule bodies, and nothing declared that. Worse than the strings: its modules key on any tracked document carrying a `jobs:` mapping, and GitLab names jobs at the top level, Buildkite uses `steps:`, a Jenkinsfile is not YAML. So on those consumers the document set is empty, every violation is vacuous, and the preset reports CLEAN — a dead gate and a clean tree, byte-identical from outside. The guard's own comment already named the state, "a tree with no such document is answering for nothing", and then passed it. PER MODULE, NOT PER MANIFEST, AND THAT IS THE WHOLE DESIGN. The row said `ci-hygiene` was the only GitHub-specific preset of the seven. It is not: measuring all fifteen module sources found three carrying provider syntax, the third being `mise`'s `action-version-matches-the-pin`, which matches a step's `uses: jdx/mise-action@<sha>` coordinate. `mise` also ships `task-over-executable`, which decides task argv and reads no provider at all — so a manifest-level field would have had to call that preset GitHub-specific and switch off a module that works on every host. This is CLOUD-1672's correction to `scope` arriving one subject later, and its doc says why in advance: true of every preset that existed when it was written, and false the moment a subject has something to say about both. The selection FILTERS and the refusal fires only when it comes back empty. That is what keeps `mise-preset` deciding task argv at `mediated_call` with no provider declared, while `mise-preset-tree` — the same preset, the other surface — needs one. Both spellings are in this repository's own config now, which is the demonstration: a manifest-level declaration could not have told those two apart. WHAT THIS REFUSAL CLAIMS IS MORE THAN ITS SCOPE SIBLING'S. The scope check beside it is candid that it closes no hole — `check_tree_paths_are_emittable` catches a wrong-surface module downstream anyway, so what it buys is a refusal that precedes compilation. Nothing downstream notices a consumer on another CI provider. Stated in the test doc rather than borrowing the neighbour's modesty. Measured live on this tree before any test was written: `check --rule ci-hygiene` refused naming both sides, then loaded at exit 0 once the row declared the provider. Three cases hold it — the refusal, the same preset loading once declared, and a provider-agnostic module loading with nothing declared. The second and third are the anti-vacuity pair: without them a build that refuses every preset satisfies the first. Refs: CLOUD-1625 BREAKING CHANGE: `preset::PresetModule` gains `provider` and `rules::Rule` gains `provider`, so a struct literal of either needs the new field.

…ands CLOUD-1284's three-word rule-id grammar — `<subject> <action> <condition>`, each word drawn from `[vocabulary]` — is NOT on `main`, which still carries `no-bare-cargo` and `rebase-not-hand-stepped`. It is on an unlanded sibling branch that migrates all 136 ids, and this branch met it only because `land` speculatively replayed onto that branch's head while it held the landing lease. So this is forward-compatibility, not a fix for a broken tree. `config name other` is a legal id under `main`'s rules today, where no grammar is enforced, and remains legal after the sibling lands; `no-board-column-in-core` is legal only until then, and would arrive as a 137th id that branch's migration never saw. Renaming now costs nothing and spares whoever lands second the conflict. The subject word is the part worth recording, because two constraints close against each other: a rule id IS validated against the subject list, and a rule id does NOT count as spending a word. So a `forbid` row cannot introduce a new subject — measured both directions against the sibling's engine, adding a `board` subject was refused as dead vocabulary, and keeping `board name other` without it was refused as not in the list. An existing word is the only route, and `config` is the honest one: the column vocabulary is config-owned, declared in `[board]`, and the violation this row names is the core spelling it instead. The rule itself is unchanged — same glob, same regex over the comparison shape in both operand orders, same `no_fix_reason`.

…abstains `transcript.rs` carried ONE host's record shape and no `Harness` dispatch at all — zero references to the type, against ~30 Claude-shaped literals deciding what parses: the roles at :944-945, the block types at :973/:985/:1089, the stop reasons at :224-234, and thirteen camelCase `serde(rename)` fields. Fed any other host's transcript, every field decoded to `None`, `parse` yielded an empty stream, and four gates read that as a clean session — declared-done-not-landed, deny-then-retry, non-empty-frontier-at-stop, and unprompted self-write. The module's own header forbids exactly this: degradation must never present as a false green. THE GRAMMAR IS A TYPE, NOT A BRANCH. `parse`/`parse_keyed` now take a `RecordShape` rather than a `Harness`, and there is no `RecordShape` to hand them until `Harness::transcript_shape()` has answered `Surveyed`. So an unsurveyed host's bytes cannot reach the parser at all — the compiler refuses it, where a runtime check would be a branch somebody forgets. One variant today is the point rather than a placeholder: CLOUD-1781 adds what a survey measures. WHICH HOST WROTE THE FILE IS A CONSUMER FACT, so it moved to `batten.toml` as `[transcript] harness`, which is non-negotiable rule 1 applied to the seam that broke it. It joins `path`, `memory_root` and `tasks` on the table whose own doc already licenses a fourth fact about one host rather than a second authority. Omitted is could-not-look, never a default: `cli.rs:1176-1184` states the precedent — an unnamed host "declares nothing rather than borrowing a default's declarations" — and defaulting here would read somebody else's transcript through this host's grammar and report the zero events it yields as clean. Two new could-not-look states rather than one, kept apart for the reason `Absent` and `Unreadable` already are: they are different facts and only one names a repair. `Unnamed` is a config that chose no grammar; `Unsurveyed` is a host whose shape nobody has fetched, carrying the row that owes it. The shape question is asked BEFORE the file is read, so a missing file cannot mask an unsurveyed host — the two are different repairs and the weaker one must not win. CODEX IS UNSURVEYED, DELIBERATELY. Its wire format is a near-verbatim clone of Claude's today, which is precisely why `write_tools:237-240` refuses to fold the two into a shared constant: coincidence is not agreement, and a shape assumed from a neighbour re-points silently the day that stops being true. The census gained a kind rather than reusing one. `transcript` was compared only on `TranscriptPathRemoved`, and a config that keeps `path` while dropping `harness` is the quieter spelling of the same loss — it still names a file, and nothing reads it. Its test asserts the strengthening direction too: declaring a harness must NOT register, or the clamp would refuse the edit that closes this. `perf.rs` replaced `$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR` unconditionally, so on every other host the substitution was a no-op and the measured arm ran against an unexpanded path — a wrong number, silently. `Wiring::project_dir_var` carries it now, `None` where nobody looked, and the pair REFUSES to measure rather than measuring through a guess. The consumer audit was the compiler's, not a grep's: three `match Capability` sites turned up that a search had missed, and `doctor.rs`'s arm — whose comment promised "a fifth variant is a compile error here instead of a silent pass" — delivered exactly that. Both new states fail there rather than pass, since a transcript that silently stops four gates deciding is what that verb exists to surface. Refs: CLOUD-1624 BREAKING CHANGE: `transcript::resolve` takes the declared `Option<Harness>`, and `transcript::parse`/`parse_keyed` take a `RecordShape`. `hook::Wiring` gains `project_dir_var`. `transcript::Capability` gains `Unnamed` and `Unsurveyed`, so an exhaustive match over it needs two more arms.

…eep out `batten-check` refused the branch, correctly, and on the file whose whole subject is this class. `assertion_gates.rs` spelled a consumer identifier four times — once as its own test's name — and `batten.toml`'s `source name other` row forbids it anywhere under `crates/**`. That is the module's own defect arriving one level up. It already assembles the PHRASES it hunts at runtime, so its corpus would not carry the shape it looks for; the prose was never given the same care. The rename is mechanical and the mechanism is untouched: the discriminator, the three anti-vacuity directions and the runtime-assembled phrases all decide exactly what they decided when the scan found the thirteen real sites. A line in the module doc records why the word is not the obvious one, so nobody "corrects" the vocabulary back and re-earns the refusal. Also here, and the reason the branch could not land either: this branch held work open and had recorded no plan at all, which `plan declare absent` prices at a non-empty diff. The plan is recorded now — four rows completed, CLOUD-1622 in progress, which is what it honestly is. CLOUD-1622 IS DECLARED HELD ON PURPOSE, and the admission below is for that. The row says in its own words that it is not one PR and that `lease.rs` alone should go first; this branch did that exception and the remainder needs the `[forge]` surface designed. Recording it completed would be the false completion signal this tool exists to refuse, and PR #911 deliberately does not close its key.

Remove the test-order dependency on rest::DECLARED.
rest::declare stores only the first Forge in DECLARED. A config load can provide different credential names through Config.forge, so it can win before this test. This test's declaration then has no effect. rest::headers uses the stored names, which can produce an unauthenticated request. The wait path can then fail to terminate.
Run this network-backed test in an isolated process, or replace the global declaration with a scoped test dependency.

Preserve structural suffixes in known_bad_like.
When a credential ends with punctuation, body_from == real.len(). Both filler attempts equal the original, so the fallback appends 0 and changes the credential length. A route can reject this malformed control and cause route_honours_credentials to treat the rejection as proof that credentials are honored. Acceptance of the real credential then yields Credential::Live without that proof.
Update the derivation to preserve punctuation positions and mutate only alphanumeric characters without changing the credential length. Add tests for trailing padding and internal punctuation.

Add preset and provider to Rule::columns().
Rule::validate() checks kind permissions only for fields returned by Rule::columns(), which currently omits both fields. validate_policy_source() returns successfully for non-Policy rows after checking only whether provider has a preset. Therefore, a non-Policy row with both fields can load even though policy::preset_sources is the only consumer. Add both fields to Rule::columns() and add "provider" to RuleKind::Policy::permits(); "preset" is already permitted for Policy.

Append TranscriptHarnessRemoved and ForgeCredentialsRemoved after WiringDisarmRemoved.
WeakeningKind derives Ord, and Weakening includes its kind in its derived ordering before weakenings() calls found.sort(). Mid-list insertion changes later discriminants and the ordering contract. The repository documents this as a semver break, and the required mise run semver task runs cargo-semver-checks. Move the corresponding entries in WeakeningKind::ALL and as_str with the variants.

Non-negotiable rule 1 binds MECHANISMS, not only string literals, and `landed` and `claim` decided over one board's COLUMN NAMES. Linear ships Todo/In Progress/In Review/Done; Jira ships To Do/In Development; a GitHub Project ships whatever the owner typed. This is rule 1's violation in its worst form, because the failure is silent in the direction that matters. Off this board every comparison is false, so `is_started` never fires and the landed-honesty sweep reports ZERO FINDINGS over a board full of dishonest columns, while `claim` never refuses. A gate that cannot fire and a gate that found nothing emit the same bytes and the same exit code. The words move to a `[board]` table. `board::Columns` resolves it, and `board_columns()` is `board_grammar()`'s sibling for the same reason CLOUD-1100 gave one table over. ## Absent is could-not-look, never a default The load-bearing decision. An undeclared column refuses BY NAME rather than falling back to this repository's words: a default would reinstate the violation with one more step in front of it and restore exactly the property that let the constants survive — the dead path and the working path answering identically. `Columns::started` therefore reads an EMPTY set as undeclared rather than as "no column means started", since a set matching nothing reports every row as not-advanced, which is the silent all-clear. `judge` refuses the RUN when the queue is undeclared, not every row: a claim gate that cannot name the queue has not decided nothing is pullable. `Reason::wants` returns `Option`, so an undeclared column costs the ` -> <column>` remedy and never the finding itself. ## The duplicate pull-request predicate, resolved `claim` required the literal `github.com/`; `landed` carried a host-free copy whose doc argues forge URL SHAPE is not consumer vocabulary. That reasoning is right, so the host-free one is now the single spelling. This also fixes a live defect: off GitHub `live_pull_request` answered `None` for every real pull request, so the open-competitor check was dead. Recorded rather than silently widened: a GitLab merge request is `/merge_requests/<n>` and still does not match. Narrower than the host literal it replaces — matching every `/<word>/<digits>` would admit `/issues/12` and turn an issue link into a claim. Two sites CLOUD-1623's body does not carry, found on re-read: a second independent `is_in_progress` in `impl Claim`, and `demand()`'s refusal prose, which named a column a consumer's board may not have. `batten.toml`'s `[board]` table was written under admission 8b378ecbdd0e721328b63d4e7661c18704d71af2534b07a81665dcdfa9280835.

That is precisely the failure CLOUD-1623 exists to remove, reintroduced by landing half of its fix. Admits-answer-precondition: No batten surface writes a config table. `batten config` inspects only, and `batten init` refuses to overwrite an existing batten.toml, so neither can add a `[board]` table to a file that already exists. The change is the config half of CLOUD-1623 (claimed, receipt minted on this branch): four column names moving out of `crates/batten/src/landed.rs` and `claim.rs`, where they were non-negotiable rule 1's violation. It is a 43-line addition to one table in a draft PR, visible in the diff a reviewer reads before it lands. Admits-answer-rejected-route: `patch`. Tried and refused identically (`path write refused batten.toml patch protected-mutation`), which is correct: the guard is on the path, not the program, so routing the same bytes through a second writer would be evading the class rather than satisfying it. `config read first` does not apply either — the file was read directly and through `batten config` before this write, and reading cannot add a table. `run first` names no task that authors config.

Beyond that, its stated defect is the point: `mem:core` is the single authority on what each module owns, and a module added without its row leaves that authority silently incomplete and the rule pointing at it untrue — measured once already on `severity.rs`, which landed past a green gate with no row. A new module carrying the `[board]` seam is exactly the row a later reader needs. Admits-answer-precondition: The sanctioned writer for `.serena/memories/**` is the Serena MCP tools, and that server failed to connect this session (CONNECTION_CLOSED), so no surface can express the change. The change is one row naming `board.rs` in the module map, required by `module-map-check`, which refused the commit until it existed: every tracked `crates/*/src/*.rs` must appear in `mem:core`. It is 13 lines in a draft PR, visible in the diff a reviewer reads before it lands. Admits-answer-rejected-route: `patch`. Refused identically on the sibling path this commit also writes (`path write refused batten.toml patch protected-mutation`); the guard is on the path rather than the program, so routing the same bytes through a second writer evades the class instead of satisfying it. `config read first` does not apply — this file is not config, and reading cannot add a row. `run first` names no task that authors the module map; `module-map-check` only reports the gap.
Non-negotiable rule 2: a rule without a runnable gate is half a change. 32f9876 took the board's column names out of the engine; nothing yet refused the next one, and they arrived in the first place because nothing refused them. This file already carries the measured cost of that shape — twenty issue-key derivations accumulated because nothing refused the twenty-first before it was typed. ## Why this matches the comparison and not the vocabulary The obvious row is unlandable, and that is a measurement. Banning the four column WORDS under `crates/**` fires on 126 occurrences across 18 files, nearly all legitimate: integration fixtures building board payloads (`landed_check.rs` 19, `claim.rs` 25, `board_receipts.rs` 12), unit-test vocabulary, and prose recording why the released column is in the started set. That row either never lands or lands carrying an exemption list longer than itself — and an exemption is where the next violation hides. The violation was never the word. It was COMPARING A STATUS AGAINST A LITERAL, because that is the line that decides, and the line that answers false on every other board while reading as a clean sweep. So the regex is the comparison shape in both operand orders, and it reaches exactly the construct `board::Columns` replaced. It lands at ZERO with no `exclude`. The only match after the seam commit was `board.rs`'s own anti-vacuity test asserting a foreign board's set lacks this repository's word; that assertion now compares the whole set, which is stronger anyway — a negative assertion also passes for a resolver that dropped every column. `checks_green.rs`'s `status != "completed"` and `hk.rs`'s `!= "included"` are deliberately not reached. They compare a check run's state and a plan's state — a forge's and this engine's own vocabularies, not a tracker's. A row keyed on the bare field name would have caught both and taught the next reader that the ban is about the field. ## Shown able to fail The acceptance CLOUD-1626 records as missing from the last rule-1 gate. Clean tree exits 0; one planted `s == "In Progress"` in `receipt.rs` exits 2 reporting `crates/batten/src/receipt.rs:2477 no-board-column-in-core`; reverting returns it to 0. Pointer-only per rule 4 — `path:line` and the id, never the matched line. BREAKING CHANGE: `claim::judge`, `landed::decide` and `landed::drain` each take the board's column vocabulary as a parameter, introduced by the seam commit on this branch. The vocabulary cannot be defaulted inside them — an undeclared column is could-not-look, and a default would restore the dead-path-reads-as-clean property the seam exists to remove — so the caller resolves `board::Columns` and passes it in.

The column literals are out of the engine as of 32f9876, but nothing refuses the next one: the constants originally arrived because no gate refused them, and non-negotiable rule 2 is explicit that a rule shipped without its mechanism is prose. Measured precedent in this file: twenty issue-key derivations accumulated for exactly this reason, and `issue-key-derivations-not-growing` exists because nothing refused the twenty-first before it was typed. Admits-answer-precondition: No batten surface authors a `[[rule]]` row. `batten config` inspects only and `batten init` refuses to overwrite an existing file, so writing `batten.toml` directly is the only route to add the gate. This is the rule-2 half of CLOUD-1623 (claimed, receipt minted on this branch): the seam landed in 32f9876 and a rule without a runnable mechanism is half a change. It is one `[[rule]]` row plus its comment, in a draft PR, visible in the diff a reviewer reads before it lands. Admits-answer-rejected-route: `patch`. Refused identically on this same path earlier in this session (`path write refused batten.toml patch protected-mutation`); the guard is on the path rather than the program, so routing the same bytes through another writer evades the class instead of satisfying it. `config read first` does not apply — the file was read directly before this write and reading cannot add a row. `run first` names no task that authors a rule; `batten check` only evaluates rows that already exist.
Three census gates refused the seam commit, all correctly and all the same class: a new module and a new config key arrived without the rows that make them decidable. None was a code defect. ## The table moves into the module that reads it `Board` was declared in `config.rs` while `Columns` — the resolved form and every predicate over it — lived in `board.rs`. That is the split `mcp::McpConfig`, `recorder::Declared` and `deferral` each avoid: a module that exists owns its own declaration, so the type and the predicate reading it cannot drift apart across a module boundary. It also settles the layering. `board` now reaches NOTHING in this crate, not even `error`. `config` reads it at load; `landed`, `claim` and `lib` read it at decision time; it reads none of them. That is `secret`'s placement arrived at from the same direction, and it is the placement rather than an accident of size: this module exists so a gate's verdict about a board is stated in the CONSUMER's words, and an edge from here to any decider would make the honesty of those words conditional on that decider's own layer. ## `trust::CENSUS` — not policy-bearing, for the structural reason `board` is read by gates, so the verdict is not that it lacks policy weight. It is that an override cannot speak to it: the key is absent from `OverrideConfig` and `resolve` reads the table from the committed authority alone, which is `contract`'s guarantee for `epoch`'s reason. That makes the obvious attack unwritable — an uncommitted layer renaming `ready` to a column every row already sits in would make every row pullable at once. A weakening row would be the wrong instrument, which is `mcp`'s point: it reports a DIRECTION, and a column name has none. Renaming a queue is not more or less permissive as config; which rows it admits depends on where the board has put them, which is tracker state rather than a bar this file sets. ## `module-layering` — the placement the rule asked for Its coverage clause states absence is an error rather than an allow, and it named `board` on the gate before landing, as it has for every module since `preset`. The entry is additive placement, not an exemption: it adds no allowance and removes no refusal, and a module violating a forbidden edge would still be refused.

NOTE THE NARROWNESS: this is additive PLACEMENT, not an exemption — the same entry `preset`, `agent`, `recorder`, `secret` and `deferral` each received on arrival. It adds no allowance and removes no refusal; a module that violated a forbidden edge would still be refused.
`claim check` now refuses the run when `board.ready` is undeclared, so two cases in this suite went red against a fixture repository that declares no `[board]`. The refusal is correct and the fixture was incomplete: a repository that has declared no board HAS no ready queue, and answering "nothing is pullable" over one would be the guess the seam exists to remove. This is the same sentence the fixture already carries one table over. CLOUD-1100 made the Ready grammar the consumer's and left this comment here: "Without these rows `claim check` reports could-not-look naming the first missing id — which is the correct answer for a repository that has declared no Ready grammar, and not what this suite is about." The columns are that sentence again, and the two now sit together because neither the grammar nor the vocabulary is the engine's to assume. Refs: CLOUD-1623
…ng it clean **The seam reintroduced its own defect one layer up, and this removes it.** `claim::judge` was made to refuse when the board is undeclared; `landed` was left to decide with the columns it had. Undeclared, it has none — every comparison against a row's status is false, so `decide` returns ZERO FINDINGS and the verb exits 0 over a board it never read. That is byte-identical to a clean sweep, which is the exact failure this row exists to remove. A gate that cannot fire and a gate that found nothing emit the same bytes and the same exit code, and shipping the seam with this in place would have moved the dead path rather than closing it. Both verbs now demand the columns they decide over, before deciding. ## Both directions, not the one the payload happens to exercise `landed check` demands `in_progress` AND `started`. Demanding only the arm a given payload reaches would leave a run that answered half the disjunction and said nothing about the other half — the silently-halved sweep CLOUD-1458 already paid for once. `landed abandoned` demands `in_progress`, where the edge is sharper: every candidate is SELECTED by that column, so undeclared yields an empty candidate set and the drain reports no abandoned claims over a board full of them. An over-reporting drain gets switched off; a silently empty one is never noticed. ## The fixtures declare the board they are judged against `common::declared_board` reads the committed `[board]` table, mirroring `declared_patterns` and for its reason: this repository's columns have one authority, and a fixture holding a second copy drifts the day the board is renamed. `landed_check.rs` shadows `scratch` so all eleven cases build on a declared board rather than asserting about a missing column. Refs: CLOUD-1623
`claim check` declares the `-J` data channel, and a data channel emits its document UNCONDITIONALLY — one that is sometimes absent is unparseable for the caller that asked for it. The board refusal lands before any output, so over a fixture declaring no `[board]` the verb emitted nothing at all and the purity census went red. The fixture is the fix rather than the refusal, and this fixture's own doc already says why: it exists to be "a config every data-emitting verb can actually answer from", because "the census is about the output contract; supplying each verb's minimum input is the fixture's job". A repository that declares no board HAS no ready queue, so refusing there is correct and simply not what this census asks about. That makes `[board]` the fifth minimum input this fixture carries, beside the Ready grammar it already carried for the identical reason (CLOUD-1100): both are the consumer's vocabulary, and neither is the engine's to assume. Read from the committed table rather than re-typed, so the fixture cannot drift from the columns it exercises. Refs: CLOUD-1623
…ands CLOUD-1284's three-word rule-id grammar — `<subject> <action> <condition>`, each word drawn from `[vocabulary]` — is NOT on `main`, which still carries `no-bare-cargo` and `rebase-not-hand-stepped`. It is on an unlanded sibling branch that migrates all 136 ids, and this branch met it only because `land` speculatively replayed onto that branch's head while it held the landing lease. So this is forward-compatibility, not a fix for a broken tree. `config name other` is a legal id under `main`'s rules today, where no grammar is enforced, and remains legal after the sibling lands; `no-board-column-in-core` is legal only until then, and would arrive as a 137th id that branch's migration never saw. Renaming now costs nothing and spares whoever lands second the conflict. The subject word is the part worth recording, because two constraints close against each other: a rule id IS validated against the subject list, and a rule id does NOT count as spending a word. So a `forbid` row cannot introduce a new subject — measured both directions against the sibling's engine, adding a `board` subject was refused as dead vocabulary, and keeping `board name other` without it was refused as not in the list. An existing word is the only route, and `config` is the honest one: the column vocabulary is config-owned, declared in `[board]`, and the violation this row names is the core spelling it instead. The rule itself is unchanged — same glob, same regex over the comparison shape in both operand orders, same `no_fix_reason`.

…abstains `transcript.rs` carried ONE host's record shape and no `Harness` dispatch at all — zero references to the type, against ~30 Claude-shaped literals deciding what parses: the roles at :944-945, the block types at :973/:985/:1089, the stop reasons at :224-234, and thirteen camelCase `serde(rename)` fields. Fed any other host's transcript, every field decoded to `None`, `parse` yielded an empty stream, and four gates read that as a clean session — declared-done-not-landed, deny-then-retry, non-empty-frontier-at-stop, and unprompted self-write. The module's own header forbids exactly this: degradation must never present as a false green. THE GRAMMAR IS A TYPE, NOT A BRANCH. `parse`/`parse_keyed` now take a `RecordShape` rather than a `Harness`, and there is no `RecordShape` to hand them until `Harness::transcript_shape()` has answered `Surveyed`. So an unsurveyed host's bytes cannot reach the parser at all — the compiler refuses it, where a runtime check would be a branch somebody forgets. One variant today is the point rather than a placeholder: CLOUD-1781 adds what a survey measures. WHICH HOST WROTE THE FILE IS A CONSUMER FACT, so it moved to `batten.toml` as `[transcript] harness`, which is non-negotiable rule 1 applied to the seam that broke it. It joins `path`, `memory_root` and `tasks` on the table whose own doc already licenses a fourth fact about one host rather than a second authority. Omitted is could-not-look, never a default: `cli.rs:1176-1184` states the precedent — an unnamed host "declares nothing rather than borrowing a default's declarations" — and defaulting here would read somebody else's transcript through this host's grammar and report the zero events it yields as clean. Two new could-not-look states rather than one, kept apart for the reason `Absent` and `Unreadable` already are: they are different facts and only one names a repair. `Unnamed` is a config that chose no grammar; `Unsurveyed` is a host whose shape nobody has fetched, carrying the row that owes it. The shape question is asked BEFORE the file is read, so a missing file cannot mask an unsurveyed host — the two are different repairs and the weaker one must not win. CODEX IS UNSURVEYED, DELIBERATELY. Its wire format is a near-verbatim clone of Claude's today, which is precisely why `write_tools:237-240` refuses to fold the two into a shared constant: coincidence is not agreement, and a shape assumed from a neighbour re-points silently the day that stops being true. The census gained a kind rather than reusing one. `transcript` was compared only on `TranscriptPathRemoved`, and a config that keeps `path` while dropping `harness` is the quieter spelling of the same loss — it still names a file, and nothing reads it. Its test asserts the strengthening direction too: declaring a harness must NOT register, or the clamp would refuse the edit that closes this. `perf.rs` replaced `$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR` unconditionally, so on every other host the substitution was a no-op and the measured arm ran against an unexpanded path — a wrong number, silently. `Wiring::project_dir_var` carries it now, `None` where nobody looked, and the pair REFUSES to measure rather than measuring through a guess. The consumer audit was the compiler's, not a grep's: three `match Capability` sites turned up that a search had missed, and `doctor.rs`'s arm — whose comment promised "a fifth variant is a compile error here instead of a silent pass" — delivered exactly that. Both new states fail there rather than pass, since a transcript that silently stops four gates deciding is what that verb exists to surface. Refs: CLOUD-1624 BREAKING CHANGE: `transcript::resolve` takes the declared `Option<Harness>`, and `transcript::parse`/`parse_keyed` take a `RecordShape`. `hook::Wiring` gains `project_dir_var`. `transcript::Capability` gains `Unnamed` and `Unsurveyed`, so an exhaustive match over it needs two more arms.

…ere it reads none `ci-hygiene` matches GitHub Actions expression language in its rule bodies, and nothing declared that. Worse than the strings: its modules key on any tracked document carrying a `jobs:` mapping, and GitLab names jobs at the top level, Buildkite uses `steps:`, a Jenkinsfile is not YAML. So on those consumers the document set is empty, every violation is vacuous, and the preset reports CLEAN — a dead gate and a clean tree, byte-identical from outside. The guard's own comment already named the state, "a tree with no such document is answering for nothing", and then passed it. PER MODULE, NOT PER MANIFEST, AND THAT IS THE WHOLE DESIGN. The row said `ci-hygiene` was the only GitHub-specific preset of the seven. It is not: measuring all fifteen module sources found three carrying provider syntax, the third being `mise`'s `action-version-matches-the-pin`, which matches a step's `uses: jdx/mise-action@<sha>` coordinate. `mise` also ships `task-over-executable`, which decides task argv and reads no provider at all — so a manifest-level field would have had to call that preset GitHub-specific and switch off a module that works on every host. This is CLOUD-1672's correction to `scope` arriving one subject later, and its doc says why in advance: true of every preset that existed when it was written, and false the moment a subject has something to say about both. The selection FILTERS and the refusal fires only when it comes back empty. That is what keeps `mise-preset` deciding task argv at `mediated_call` with no provider declared, while `mise-preset-tree` — the same preset, the other surface — needs one. Both spellings are in this repository's own config now, which is the demonstration: a manifest-level declaration could not have told those two apart. WHAT THIS REFUSAL CLAIMS IS MORE THAN ITS SCOPE SIBLING'S. The scope check beside it is candid that it closes no hole — `check_tree_paths_are_emittable` catches a wrong-surface module downstream anyway, so what it buys is a refusal that precedes compilation. Nothing downstream notices a consumer on another CI provider. Stated in the test doc rather than borrowing the neighbour's modesty. Measured live on this tree before any test was written: `check --rule ci-hygiene` refused naming both sides, then loaded at exit 0 once the row declared the provider. Three cases hold it — the refusal, the same preset loading once declared, and a provider-agnostic module loading with nothing declared. The second and third are the anti-vacuity pair: without them a build that refuses every preset satisfies the first. Refs: CLOUD-1625 BREAKING CHANGE: `preset::PresetModule` gains `provider` and `rules::Rule` gains `provider`, so a struct literal of either needs the new field.

That refusal is CLOUD-1625's whole point — before it, those modules evaluated over an empty document set on any non-GitHub consumer and reported a clean tree they never read.

…ng a workflow it never read Two arms of CLOUD-1625 that the `provider` column alone does not close. THE DECLARATION NEEDS A MECHANISM, per non-negotiable rule 2. `provider` is a column an author must remember, and the next module to match `github.event` and forget it ships with `None`, loads for every consumer on every host, and matches nothing there — the exact state this row exists to end, re-entered one module later. So the rule-1 scan now reaches `.rego`: an occurrence of a provider's expression language in a rule body obliges the declaration beside it. It does NOT forbid the syntax, which would be the wrong gate. Six sites carry it today — `spend-is-authorised.rego:104` and `wiring-can-be-reached.rego:100,148, 150,152,156` — and all six are legitimate. What they owe is the `provider` key. Three exemptions keep it honest: a comment line, a `test_*` rule, and a fixture line under an `"if":` key. The last two are load-bearing rather than convenient — a module matching GitHub syntax must carry fixtures written IN it, because they are the tests of the thing being tested. Both directions are held, and the second is the one that matters: a discriminator that over-exempts is byte-identical to a clean tree, so a case asserts the scan still SEES the six. Shown rather than claimed — dropping one module's declaration fails the gate naming line 104, and restoring it passes. CI-HYGIENE REPORTED GREEN OVER A WORKFLOW THAT WOULD NOT PARSE. Every rule in both modules iterates `workflow`, built from the documents that DID parse, so an unparsed file was reported on by nothing. Absent is not-applicable — this tree runs no such workflow — while unparsed means the boundary tried and failed, and spelling those the same way is how a gate reports green over a file it never read. `mise`'s `action-version-matches-the-pin` already had the clause; these two did not, which is the same dead-gate class the provider seam is about reached by the one route the rules cannot see. Its own verdict class rather than the one `mise` raises for the same state: the registry declares a class once and could not otherwise say which preset raises it. Anti-vacuity both ways — an unparsed workflow reports could-not-look, a tree with nothing unparsed reports nothing. Refs: CLOUD-1625
…a gate says so Non-negotiable rule 1 binds MECHANISMS, not only string literals, and it had failed twice in `crates/batten` — both in the same commit, both invisible for the same reason: each worked perfectly when tested in this repository, on this forge, in this container. THE NAMES. `CREDENTIAL_NAMES` was two GitHub-shaped literals in the engine. A consumer on another forge, or on a host injecting under a third name, has neither, so every candidate is absent, `credential_health` answers `Unusable`, and every removal is skipped FOREVER — a failure nothing can see, because skipping a removal is also the right answer for a genuinely bad credential. The names move to `[credential] names`, beside the `probe_url` that was already config for exactly this reason. An empty list is could-not-look and is now SAID: an undeclared table, an undeclared endpoint and an undeclared name list each get their own line, because a revoked token is the operator's to replace and the other three are the consumer's config to write. THE CONTROL TOKEN. `MUST_FAIL` was one forge's token prefix and a run of zeroes, which breaks the criterion its own doc states: the token must be plausible enough that the refusal is about the CREDENTIAL rather than about malformed input. Off that forge it IS malformed input, so `route_honours_credentials` returns "this route honours credentials" on evidence it has not earned, and every verdict downstream rests on a rubber stamp. It is now DERIVED from the credential about to be tested — structural prefix kept, body refilled at the same length and class — so it is plausible on whatever forge this is, needs no config, and stays un-nameable by a consumer who could otherwise pick one the route accepts. Deliberately not a config field for that reason. THE GATE (non-negotiable rule 2). `the_engine_names_no_consumer_of_its_own` scans every `.rs` under `crates/batten/src`; its fragments are assembled at runtime so the scanner's own corpus never carries the shape it hunts, and `the_agnostic_scan_would_find_a_violation` proves the instrument is not vacuous. It caught this commit's first draft, where a doc comment had quoted the banned literal back into the engine while explaining why it was banned. WITHDRAWN, and recorded rather than quietly dropped: `config.rs`'s schema path was inventoried as a third violation and is not one. `schema/batten.schema.json` is batten's own convention, the same class as `batten.toml` itself, and names no consumer. The real defect there was a hand-joined second spelling of `config::SCHEMA_PATH` — two authorities for one location — fixed by using the constant. The scan does not ban that path, because a ban on the constant would ban the convention. BREAKING CHANGE: `provision::CredentialProbe` gains a field. The probe now carries the credential variable names alongside its `probe_url`, because the names moved out of the engine and a consumer that declares an endpoint but no names has said only half of what the probe needs. Constructing the struct positionally no longer compiles.

CLOUD-1615 removes the hardcoded credential variable names from crates/batten and reads them from `[credential] names` instead; with the key undeclared, credential_health() reports could-not-look and returns Unusable, so every `unset` and `reject_prefix` row in this file is skipped, the proxy variables stay, and this repository's own sessions keep the host's substituted credential. That is a live regression introduced by the fix, for as long as the two halves are apart. Admits-answer-precondition: The surface this class names is a pull request, and this IS a pull request: the change is on branch claude/new-session-2rp805 for CLOUD-1615 and lands as a reviewed diff, never as a restore. No other surface can express it — `[credential] names` is a new config key, so nothing but an edit to batten.toml can declare it, and the engine change that reads the key is in the same commit range, where a reviewer sees both halves together. Admits-answer-rejected-route: `config read first` — rejected because it is already satisfied rather than skipped: the `[credential]` table and every surrounding `[[provision.env]]` row were read this session (the new key's doc comment cites their reasoning), and reading again cannot produce a key that does not yet exist. `patch run first` — rejected because there is no patch surface for adding a TOML key; the applying tool is the same Edit this rule refuses, so it would relabel the write rather than replace it.
…ngine's CLOUD-1622's one verified site, and the row's own instruction to start here. `rest::credential` carried two forge-shaped variable names in `crates/batten`, which is non-negotiable rule 1 in its mechanism form: on a consumer whose host injects under a third name neither exists, no `Authorization` header is attached, the remote answers 401/403, and every caller already reports that as could-not-look. A landing then says "no in-flight runs" at exit 0 while knowing nothing at all — a dead path and a clean answer, byte-identical from outside. TWO CORRECTIONS TO THE ROW, both measured rather than taken on trust, which is what its own "Verification status" section asks for. The site has MOVED. The row names `lease.rs:119-124`; that function was promoted into `rest.rs` under CLOUD-1338 and `lease.rs` now delegates to it. What is left in `lease.rs` is doc prose about the reader, not the reader. The tree won. The row's suggested fix is REFUTED. It says to consume the `[credential] names` CLOUD-1615 built, one row over. That key answers a different question: its own doc is explicit that the forge's conventional spellings are deliberately excluded, because this host injects a substitutable placeholder under them and probing those would measure the host's credential rather than one we hold. Measured on this repository's own config, the two lists share no entry. Folding them would have stopped every REST read using the host's job token — a live regression, so `[forge]` is its own table and says in its doc why it is not the other one. NO FALLBACK TO THE OLD PAIR, deliberately. A fallback is exactly how this stayed invisible: it worked here, on this forge, and returned a safe-looking nothing everywhere else. A consumer naming no variables has DECLARED "read unauthenticated", which is legitimate for a public repository, where before the engine inferred it from finding neither of two spellings it chose itself. A process-scoped declaration rather than a threaded parameter, and the choice is argued in its doc: fifteen call sites across six modules reach the three entry points, most in functions with no `Config` in scope, to deliver a value identical for all of them since a process runs against one repository. One writer — the config parser, where every load path funnels — and one reader. Dropping the key is a declared weakening (`forge-credentials-removed`) rather than a silent quieting, for the reason losing the transcript harness is: the raise-only clamp compares kinds, and this is the deniable spelling of switching the forge reads off. MEASURED, AND THE MEASUREMENT FOUND A SECOND DEFECT. `land`'s `a_race_neither_arm_answers…` dials a real forge and had been inheriting the engine's implicit credential. Without a declaration it did not fail — it HUNG for 1200s, because the unauthenticated request is swallowed rather than refused, so the arms never exhaust and the case produced the very hang it exists to pin. It declares a forge now and passes in 1.2s. That is the seam being real: behaviour genuinely changed where a credential was being assumed. The REST base stays a constant. `rest.rs` argues that pointing this tier at another host asks for a different CLIENT rather than a different value, and nothing here refutes it, so it is left standing rather than quietly overridden. The remaining sites the row lists — the client name, the REST path templates, the response selectors and `doctor`'s resolver host — are untouched and still owed; the row says itself that this is not one PR. Refs: CLOUD-1622 BREAKING CHANGE: `rest::credential` takes the declared forge, and a repository that does not declare `[forge] credential_names` now makes every REST read unauthenticated instead of reading two variable names the engine chose. Declaring the names it used to assume preserves existing behaviour exactly.

…-runs it Seam 4 of the rule-1 bundle, and the gate non-negotiable rule 2 owes it. Doc comments in this crate carry COMPLIANCE CLAIMS as well as doctrine, and the two read identically. "Which files carry a repository's contract is that repository's business" is doctrine: it states a rule and cannot go stale. "a grep of `crates/batten` for any of them returns nothing" is a claim about the tree AS IT IS, and nothing re-ran it. THREE OF THEM WERE FALSE, measured rather than suspected. `config.rs`'s `[[mint]]`, `[[recorder]]` and `[[mcp]]` rows each asserted that a scan for the tracker vocabulary they name comes back clean. `get_issue`, `issue-read` and `updatedAt` appear throughout `crates/batten/src` — twenty-plus hits, one of them a comment restating the same claim. A reader auditing rule 1 would have read the assertion, believed the scan had been run, and moved on. That is worse than no comment: a green light nobody lit. The doctrine is kept and the claim is dropped, which is exactly what `main` did to `release-plz.toml`'s visibility line for the same reason. The remaining ten name their gate with a `verified-by:` marker. Nine cite `batten-check`, which runs this repository's own rule-1 `forbid` rows over `crates/**` on every invocation; `policy.rs` cites the behavioural test it already names in the next paragraph — a paragraph that exists BECAUSE it once cited a test that did not exist, which is CLOUD-589's class and the precedent for all of this. THE GATE CANNOT CHECK THE CLAIMS, AND MUST NOT PRETEND TO. They are arbitrary properties of the tree, and a scanner evaluating English would be the model verdict non-negotiable rule 3 refuses. What it decides is whether a claim names something runnable — the same discipline `config.rs` already applies to a `[[recorder]]` naming an undeclared program. Assert and cite, or state the doctrine and make no claim. THE DISCRIMINATOR IS A CONJUNCTION, and the first draft proves why it has to be. Taking the result phrases alone reported twenty sites, most of them ordinary prose about a FUNCTION returning nothing. That gate gets deleted, not obeyed. A block is a claim only when it names the scan AND the clean result — which is the shape non-negotiable rule 1 is itself written in, and therefore the shape the claims copy. Anti-vacuity is three separate directions, because they fail independently: the scan finds each planted phrase, the marker actually exempts (or the rule is unsatisfiable and the only green tree is one with the doctrine deleted too), and a marker in a NEIGHBOURING block does not exempt this one — a splitter that merged a file into one block would exempt every claim in it the moment any one was cited, which is the most likely way this gate would go quiet. Its phrases are assembled at runtime for `the_engine_names_no_consumer_of_its_own`'s reason: spelled as literals, the module documenting the rule would be its own first violation. Refs: CLOUD-1622
`target-prune` refused `verify`, correctly: `[prune.*.basis]` declared 244 test stems against a live 255, eleven past a tolerance of 10. This branch's `assertion_gates.rs` crossed it, which is the gate working exactly as the 2026-08-30 entry describes it working. The refusal names its own remedy and this is it. Retained bytes are `keep x stems x size`, so a floor taken against a smaller stem count PASSES and then lets the build write more than it budgeted for — arriving as a rustc IO error inside a test run rather than as a disk fault. This file records that outcome happening twice already. WARM SCALES BY THE STEM MODEL, as every move above it did: 11140 at 244 is 45.66 per stem, and 45.66 x 255 is 11642. Derived rather than independently measured, and said so, because the basis block insists a reader who needs it exact should take it rather than trust the line. COLD'S BASIS MOVES AND COLD'S FLOOR DOES NOT, and that is the entry above `[prune.cold]` being obeyed rather than ignored. It ends: "the next move that raises cold should take the exact measurement rather than scale again", because the derived figure already exceeds what this container can offer and "a floor nothing can satisfy refuses every lap and gets switched off". Scaling to 87.93 x 255 = 22422 would do precisely that. So it is recorded as a KNOWN UNDER-BUDGET rather than as a number that is fine. Cold now budgets for 244 stems against a basis of 255, which is the direction this file says fails silently. It is bounded — cold is judged only once the escalation has dropped the cache, reached only after warm is breached, and warm moved with the basis — and the exact measurement it owes cannot be taken from inside a lap that needs the cache a cold build would destroy. The comment says who takes it and what they move. Also left behind: the LEARNED floor this container observed on 2026-09-11 was 15195 MB, well above either declared figure. That mechanism already governs and lives in `$GIT_DIR/batten-prune/laps.json`, so the declared number is not raised to meet it — a declared floor chasing the worst observed lap is the floor-nobody-can-satisfy this file warns about two blocks down.

…eep out `batten-check` refused the branch, correctly, and on the file whose whole subject is this class. `assertion_gates.rs` spelled a consumer identifier four times — once as its own test's name — and `batten.toml`'s `source name other` row forbids it anywhere under `crates/**`. That is the module's own defect arriving one level up. It already assembles the PHRASES it hunts at runtime, so its corpus would not carry the shape it looks for; the prose was never given the same care. The rename is mechanical and the mechanism is untouched: the discriminator, the three anti-vacuity directions and the runtime-assembled phrases all decide exactly what they decided when the scan found the thirteen real sites. A line in the module doc records why the word is not the obvious one, so nobody "corrects" the vocabulary back and re-earns the refusal. Also here, and the reason the branch could not land either: this branch held work open and had recorded no plan at all, which `plan declare absent` prices at a non-empty diff. The plan is recorded now — four rows completed, CLOUD-1622 in progress, which is what it honestly is. CLOUD-1622 IS DECLARED HELD ON PURPOSE, and the admission below is for that. The row says in its own words that it is not one PR and that `lease.rs` alone should go first; this branch did that exception and the remainder needs the `[forge]` surface designed. Recording it completed would be the false completion signal this tool exists to refuse, and PR #911 deliberately does not close its key.

Use a fresh post-prune measurement for the warm floor.
11140 MB was measured at 232 stems, while the 232→244 and 244→255 updates changed only the basis count. The current derivation incorrectly treats 11140 MB as a 244-stem measurement and produces 11642 MB without an independent measurement. The arithmetic 12244 MB is not a safe correction because the file states that the stem count is no longer a reliable byte proxy. Measure the ordinary post-prune tree at the current basis, then update mb, worst_mb, and measured together. An invalid floor can leave insufficient space for a build and cause a rustc I/O failure.

Refs CLOUD-1622 — deliberately not closed, see the last section.
Non-negotiable rule 1 binds mechanisms, not only string literals. Every seam
here fails the same way and it is never a crash: off this consumer the mechanism
returns a safe-looking default and the gate silently stops deciding. A dead path
and a clean tree are byte-identical from outside. This repository is public and
ships release binaries, so each one is a live false-green for real consumers.
One branch, many rows, one PR — as
AGENTS.mdprescribes.CLOUD-1623 — the board's column vocabulary
landedandclaimdecided over one board's COLUMN NAMES. Linear shipsTodo/In Progress/In Review/Done; Jira ships To Do/In Development; a GitHub
Project ships whatever the owner typed. Off this board every comparison is false,
so
is_startednever fires and the landed-honesty sweep reports zero findingsover a board full of dishonest columns, while
claimnever refuses.The words move to a
[board]table read throughboard::Columns. Absent iscould-not-look, never a default — a default would reinstate the violation with
one more step in front of it.
Columns::startedreads an EMPTY set as undeclaredfor the same reason: a set matching nothing reports every row as not-advanced,
which is the silent all-clear.
claim::judgerefused an undeclared board, butlanded checkandlanded abandonedinitially did not — every predicate answered false, so theyreturned zero findings and exit 0 over a board they had never read. Both verbs
now DEMAND the columns they decide over.
The duplicate URL predicate resolved toward the host-free spelling the tree
already argued for, which also fixed a live defect: off GitHub,
live_pull_requestansweredNonefor every real pull request, so theopen-competitor check was dead.
Gate:
no-board-column-in-corematches the COMPARISON rather than thevocabulary — banning the four words fires on 126 occurrences across 18 files,
nearly all legitimate fixtures and prose, and would land carrying an exemption
list longer than itself.
CLOUD-1624 — the transcript's grammar
transcript.rscarried zeroHarnessreferences against ~30 Claude-shapedliterals deciding what parses. On five of six harnesses
parseyielded zeroevents and the four gates over it — declared-done-not-landed, deny-then-retry,
non-empty frontier at stop, unprompted self-write — all reported clean.
parse/parse_keyednow take aRecordShaperather than aHarness, whichmakes it impossible to parse without naming a surveyed grammar — a type-level
guarantee where a runtime check is a branch somebody can forget. The
harness→shape decision lives in exactly one place.
CapabilitygainsUnnamedandUnsurveyed(&'static str), both could-not-look,both checked before the file is read so a missing file cannot mask an
unsurveyed host.
CodexCliis listed unsurveyed deliberately: it clones the wireformat today, and coincidence is not agreement.
Proved end-to-end on this repository, both directions:
doctorreportedtranscript failed transcript-unnamedwithout the key,transcript okwith it.CLOUD-1625 — which CI provider a preset reads
ci-hygiene's modules do not key on a workflow directory; they key on anytracked document carrying a
jobs:mapping. GitLab names jobs at the top level,Buildkite uses
steps:, a Jenkinsfile is not YAML — so the document set isempty, every violation is vacuous, and the preset reports clean. The guard's
own comment already named the state and then passed it.
Per MODULE, not per manifest, and the row's premise had to be corrected to
get there: it said
ci-hygienewas the only GitHub-specific preset of seven.Measuring all fifteen module sources found three — the third being
mise'saction-version-matches-the-pin.misealso shipstask-over-executable, whichreads no provider at all, so a manifest-level field would have switched off a
module that works on every host. The selection FILTERS and the refusal fires only
when it comes back empty. Both spellings are in this repository's config now,
which is the demonstration.
Also here: both
ci-hygienemodules lacked theinput.tree.missingcould-not-look clause, so an unparsed workflow was reported on by nothing —
the same dead-gate class by the one route the rules cannot see.
And the gate rule 2 owes the new column: an occurrence of a provider's expression
language in a rule body obliges the declaration beside it. It does not forbid the
syntax — six sites carry it and all six are legitimate. Shown able to fail:
dropping one module's declaration fails the gate naming the exact line.
CLOUD-1615 — the credential mechanism
Carried here from its own branch so one PR holds the bundle.
CREDENTIAL_NAMESwas two forge-shaped literals in the engine; a consumer elsewhere has neither, so
every candidate is absent,
credential_healthanswersUnusable, and everyremoval is skipped FOREVER — invisible, because skipping a removal is also the
right answer for a genuinely bad credential.
MUST_FAILwas one forge's token prefix, which broke the criterion its own docstates; it is DERIVED from the credential under test now, so it stays plausible
on whatever forge this is.
CLOUD-1622 — the forge seam, partially, and why the key stays open
The row says in its own words that this is not one PR, and it is right. What
lands here is the one site it had actually verified, plus its seam-4 half.
Two corrections to the row, both measured. The site has MOVED — the credential
reader was promoted out of
lease.rsintorest.rs, and what remains inlease.rsis prose about the reader. And the row's suggested fix is REFUTED: itsays to reuse CLOUD-1615's
[credential] names, but that key's own docdeliberately EXCLUDES the forge's conventional spellings, because this host
injects a substitutable placeholder under them. The two lists share no entry on
this repository. Folding them would have stopped every REST read using the host's
job token.
So
[forge] credential_namesis its own table, with no fallback to the oldpair — a fallback is exactly how this stayed invisible.
The measurement found a second defect:
land'sa_race_neither_arm_answers…dials a real forge and had been inheriting the engine's implicit credential.
Without a declaration it did not fail, it HUNG for 1200s — the unauthenticated
request is swallowed rather than refused, so the arms never exhaust and the case
produced the very hang it exists to pin. It declares a forge now and passes in
1.2s.
The REST base stays a constant:
rest.rsargues that pointing the tier atanother host asks for a different CLIENT rather than a different value, and
nothing here refutes it, so it is left standing rather than quietly overridden.
Still owed, and why the key is not closed: the client name, the REST path
templates, the response selectors and
doctor's resolver host. Closing the keyon a partial fix is precisely the false completion signal this tool exists to
refuse.
Seam 4 — a compliance claim names what re-runs it
Doc comments carry COMPLIANCE CLAIMS as well as doctrine and the two read
identically. Doctrine cannot go stale; "a grep of
crates/battenfor any of themreturns nothing" is a claim about the tree AS IT IS, and nothing re-ran it.
Three were false, measured: the tracker vocabulary they said was absent
appears throughout
crates/batten/src, one hit being a comment restating thesame claim. A reader auditing rule 1 would have believed the scan had been run —
a green light nobody lit. Those keep the doctrine and drop the claim; the other
ten cite their gate with a
verified-by:marker.The gate cannot check the claims themselves — a scanner evaluating English would
be the model verdict rule 3 refuses. It decides whether a claim names something
runnable. Its discriminator is a conjunction, and the first draft proves why:
taking the result phrases alone reported twenty sites, most of them ordinary
prose about a FUNCTION returning nothing. That gate gets deleted, not obeyed.
