Three documentation corrections from the read that cut 0.23.0, none of which belonged in the release commit.

  • README.md said seventy-six tools where its own table, docs/tool-surface.md and the golden say seventy-eight. The count was right on 2026-10-09, when the securekernel group became an extra, and the pool_trace pair landed after it without moving it.
  • docs/sessions.md still said the live-control caller supplies the vmwp PID and dispatcher address, and presented the standalone --sk-kd-target role as the WinDbg route when open_sk_kd is the one that is a session.
  • docs/releasing.md gains the step this release had to improvise: four user-visible changes since v0.22.0 had no CHANGELOG entry (open_sk_kd, the opt-in group, the startup policy, the arm-mode default), three of them in commits whose message was one line. Four one-line diffs find them — the golden tool names against the last tag, DONE.md's new headings, an enum #[default] moving across src, and the Defaults to doc comments in src/server.rs — each run against v0.22.0..main before being written down.

Review

Round 1, one finding, taken. Codex (P2) read the new sessions.md sentence as saying the worker discovers the dispatcher address and partition ID for every profile. Verified against prepare_identity in src/skdispatch.rs: with no discovery section in the profile it requires the caller's dispatcher_vnd and partition_id and discovers neither, while the vmwp PID is always resolved from the VM id and CR3 always comes from the register provider. The openers share that path, so the same overclaim was in the released 0.23.0 CHANGELOG entry for open_sk_kd and in two sentences of the shipped skill; all four now split the two always-optional fields from the two that are optional only with a discovery section (2e9b647). The GitHub release body for v0.23.0 was generated from the section before this fix and still carries the old sentence.

Round 2, one finding: fact taken, remedy declined. CodeRabbit (minor) noted the defaults command matched #[default] in src/server.rs, where the attribute never appears — measured, 0 lines — so that half of the pattern was dead. Its proposed pattern adds #[serde(default)], which marks a field optional: on v0.22.0..main it matches seventeen lines and none is a value that moved. The command now reads all of src with -A1, which prints the variant the attribute leaves and the one it lands on (Redirect → Natural on this range), and the doc-comment grep is a fourth command of its own (e5763b2).

No Rust changes. markdownlint-cli2@0.23.2 with CI's globs reports 0 issues.

… and the diffs that find unrecorded changes

The README said seventy-six tools where the table and tool-surface.md say
seventy-eight: the count was right when the securekernel group became an
extra on 2026-10-09 and the pool-trace pair landed after it. docs/sessions.md
still said the live-control caller supplies the vmwp PID and dispatcher
address, which the worker has discovered for itself since item 120, and
described the standalone --sk-kd-target role as the only WinDbg route when
open_sk_kd is the one that is a session. And docs/releasing.md gains the step
this release had to improvise: four user-visible changes since v0.22.0 had no
CHANGELOG entry, and three one-line diffs - the golden tool names, DONE.md's
new headings, and the moved argument defaults - are what found them.

📝 Walkthrough

The documentation updates the stated tool count and release checklist. It also describes Secure Kernel input discovery, mismatch assertions, and WinDbg session handling.

Changes: Release documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Tool inventory and release verification
README.md, docs/releasing.md
The README states a tool count of seventy-eight. The release checklist adds checks for added tools, completed items, changed defaults, and doc comments.

Secure Kernel session documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Live-control input discovery
CHANGELOG.md, docs/sessions.md, skills/windbg-debugging/secure-kernel.md
The documentation describes worker-resolved values, optional mismatch assertions, and the required dispatcher VND and partition ID when the profile has no discovery section.
WinDbg session entry point
docs/sessions.md
The documentation describes open_sk_kd session access and distinguishes the diagnostic --sk-kd-target role from an MCP session.

I’m a rabbit with notes in my burrow tonight,
I count seventy-eight tools by the lantern’s soft light.
I check every release entry, then pause for a crumb,
I mark discovered values and assertions to come.
The WinDbg session is written; my checklist is done.

partition ID and CR3 are discovered by the worker, and a caller that supplies one supplies a

P2 Badge Preserve required assertions for profiles without discovery

This is not true for every accepted adapter profile: when DispatcherProfile.discovery is absent, prepare_identity explicitly requires the caller's dispatcher_vnd and partition_id and uses them without discovering either (src/skdispatch.rs:2918-2927). A user following this new guidance with such a profile will omit those required inputs and the first arm will fail; the text should distinguish discovery-capable profiles from profiles where these fields remain required inputs (and note separately that CR3 is reported by the register provider).

…s VND and partition id

Codex (P2, docs/sessions.md:129): the new sentence said the worker discovers
the vmwp PID, dispatcher address, partition ID and CR3, and a caller
supplying one supplies an assertion. Verified against prepare_identity in
src/skdispatch.rs: when DispatcherProfile.discovery is None it requires the
caller's dispatcher_vnd and partition_id and discovers neither; the vmwp PID
is always resolved from the VM id and CR3 always comes from the register
provider. The same overclaim was in the 0.23.0 CHANGELOG entry for open_sk_kd
(the openers share that path) and twice in the shipped skill, so all four
sentences now split the two always-optional fields from the two that are
optional only with a discovery section.

The documented assertion wording is supported. The provider handshake calls expected_target.require(&hello.target), which rejects a mismatched asserted CR3. Discovery rejects mismatched dispatcher_vnd and partition_id. A profile without discovery requires both values as inputs. No documentation change is required.

Match the #[serde(default)] attributes.

The pattern matches #[default], but src/server.rs uses #[serde(default)]. If this attribute changes without a corresponding Defaults to comment change, the check will not report that default change.

The supplied src/server.rs declaration at Lines 1207–1218 confirms this attribute form.

…at serde(default) is not

CodeRabbit (minor, docs/releasing.md:79): the third command matched
`#[default]` in src/server.rs, where the attribute never appears (0 lines;
measured), so that half of the pattern was dead. The fact is taken; the
proposed remedy - add `#[serde(default)]` to the pattern - is not: that
attribute marks a field optional, and on v0.22.0..main it matches seventeen
lines, none of them a default value that moved. The command now reads all of
src with -A1, which prints the variant the attribute leaves and the one it
lands on (Redirect -> Natural on this range), and the doc-comment grep over
server.rs is a fourth command of its own.
