`docs.no-session-narrative` reaches every durable artifact, but its detector scanned only
`docs/**/*.md` and root markdown, and nothing had ever swept the rest. The issue named four sites
from one grep and called them a floor. Deriving the population instead — a whitespace-joined sweep
over every tracked file outside the detector, for the detector's own phrasings plus the attribution
and review-round class #812 found — gave 453 sites in 108 files at `fb5592971`, and a second pass
for phrasings the first list missed (hyphenated `round-N`, "an earlier version", "the reviewer
proved") added residuals in the same files. Every site was classified with #812's three
dispositions (CUT / SEVER / KEEP with its sub-kind) under the who-benefits test; the per-site
manifests are on the PR. The rejected designs, tested-and-rejected fixtures, measurements and
traps stay; the attribution of who found them and the round in which they were found go.

The detector's population grows to `.claude/`, `.gitea/`, `.husky/` and `scripts/` regardless
of extension, minus the detector and its own test (whose fixtures ARE the phrasings) and minus
`scripts/tests/fixtures/` (test data, including decision-record copies — the same reasoning as
the records' own exemption, and what keeps the record's depth measurement true), and `--all`
lists tracked REGULAR files only — a symlink's content is its target and a gitlink has none. The #812
argument for leaving `docs/superpowers/**` in the population runs the other way here: `--diff`
sees only ADDED lines, and 287 of the 453 sites were under 30 days old — this corpus is where
narrative is being added, so the advisory nudge has reach. Density agrees: 56 line-mode hits over
the 113 regular files the predicate admits, against 9 over 66 docs files before #812. `web/` and C# stay out on the same
measurement (3 of 74 PATTERNS-matching sites, ~4,600 files). The predicate did not grow: PATTERNS
matched 74 of 453 sites, and widening the word list to the attribution class is the treadmill
the withdrawn parity test ran on. The population oracle is restated over segments with the new
arms, the synthetic cross product gains the process heads and non-markdown extensions, a fixture
witnesses that a tracked symlink is neither scanned nor counted, a `.py.bak` axis separates a
by-name exemption from a `startswith` over the same tuple, and eight mutants (drop the process
arm, drop the by-name exemption, exempt by `startswith`, drop or add a prefix, drop the fixtures
exemption, list only markdown, drop the symlink filter, test the mode per row instead of per
path) each
redden it. A pre-existing silent drop in `--diff` goes with it: git tab-terminates a `+++`
filename that contains a space, and the kept tab made `is_scanned_path` refuse the file with no
notice — fixed, with a positive control and its own mutant.

Code is unchanged by construction, measured per file type against `origin/main`: Python modules
are AST-equal with docstrings stripped, except `#` lines inside the embedded fixture programs
(string literals) of three test modules; workflows differ only in `#` lines inside `run:` block
scalars; shell, C#, TypeScript and jq are equal with comment lines stripped. The stated
exceptions: the detector and its test, 26 vitest titles that carried review-round or severity
labels or a reviewer attribution (call sites whose title changed — every changed title line
walked back to its `it(` / `it.each(...)(` anchor, so a `' + '` concatenation counts once), two
registry note strings and the mutation manifest's prose fields. scripts/tests: 1565 passed.
Web: lint, typecheck, 1319 tests green. Closes #876.

Finishes the 1.25.4-dated CI claim sweep #747 deliberately left incomplete (#869), and answers #893 from the Gitea v1.27.1 source instead of inferring it from a header. Docs and comments only - zero non-comment changes in scripts/ and .gitea/.

Population derived with `git ls-files`, not from the issue's item list: 17 files, 43 occurrences of `1.25.4`, against the 4 items #869 named.

Re-established on 1.27.1: the `creator`-attribution claim the H10 allow-list rests on (4 merged heads, both endpoints); the scope enum (no `status` scope); the `reqRepoWriter(unit.TypeCode)` gate; the `write:package` 403 (live probe with a read control 200 and a write control 201, throwaway repo, artifacts deleted); the absence of any REST cancel route (from source, which a 404 alone cannot establish); and `pull_request`/`pull_request_target` definition resolution.

#893: `/statuses/{sha}` does NOT drop rows after pagination. `getCommitStatuses` appends unconditionally and its only filter is a SQL WHERE in the same query as the LIMIT/OFFSET, so an empty page really is the end, `page_statuses` terminating on its first empty page is safe, and the asymmetry with `count_pr_mutations` is correct - recorded with its reason and a date so it is not tidied away.

Corrected rather than re-dated: the `--depth=1` no-merge-base claim was filed against the wrong axis (a git property, re-probed on git 2.55.0), and `enable_bypass_allowlist` postdating 1.25.4 had an issue body as its only provenance.

Five cold review rounds plus a cross-family Codex pass. They caught a wrong MECHANISM for `creator: null` (it is `CreatorID == -2`, not `== 0`), an evidence count that straddled the upgrade, and a reason for not re-probing MCP `cancel_run` that was invented - all fixed, final verdict CLEAN.

A force-push H1 -> H2 -> H1 spanning `pr-changed-files.sh`'s paging leaves its final
`.head.sha` comparison equal while the middle pages came from H2, so a mixed file list
could produce a docs-only exemption `success` no single head ever justified. The base
alias had been fenced since #706 by a monotonic `change_target_branch` count; the head
axis had nothing, and three contracts asserted otherwise.

`count_retargets` becomes `count_pr_mutations`: one timeline walk, two tallies, one shared
trust flag, a separate fence arm and diagnostic per axis. The advisory hook re-reads
`.head.sha` at the same hoist and off the same response as the base re-read. All three
overclaiming contracts are corrected, plus four paraphrases the first sweep missed.

Measured, not assumed: Gitea 1.27.1 still serves no `files` on `compare/{base}...{head}`;
every push is a `pull_push` event and its count cannot alias; PR #761 really went
`8798a1d -> 830a407 -> 8798a1d`; and Gitea creates the push comment BEFORE emitting the
synchronize notification, so a run cannot abstain on its own trigger.

Two pre-existing fail-opens in the shared walk were found by review and fixed: an empty
ARRAY first page was trusted on any page while the `null` arm required `page > 1`, and no
row was validated before `.type` was selected on.

NOT closed, and documented rather than overclaimed: the walk's `null` terminator is
defeatable, because Gitea pages before it filters (#870). The fence closes the ABA on a
timeline with no truncating block, not the ABA outright.

Population derived from `git ls-files`, not the issue's 9-key list (~21 claim sites).

Re-confirmed unchanged on 1.27.1: the distinct `skipped` commit-status state; `compare` serving
no `files`; no agent-side cancel route (REST route + swagger only); `branches: [main]` suppressing
the run off a non-main base.

Newly measured on four throwaway scratch bases, `main`'s rule never PATCHed: an absent required
context blocks an ORDINARY merge without needing `block_admin_merge_override` (that field governs
the FORCE path only), and `enable_bypass_allowlist` with an empty list is NOT a substitute for it.
Trap recorded: the PR API reports `mergeable: true` while such a merge is refused.

Left explicitly dated with reasons: push-supersession auto-cancel, `pull_request_target` overlap,
`--depth=1` no-merge-base, and the scope-enum/`reqRepoWriter`/403 items. Not a corpus sweep, and
`ci.actions-credential-scoping` now says so. `review-verdict.yml` untouched — #763 holds that file.

Five adversarial review rounds (21/12/9/6/2). Caveat: all same-model-family; Codex was rate-limited.

Three related defects in the `review-verdict/h10` gate, all surfaced by the
cross-family review of PR #705.

#706 race 1 — a stale run could overwrite a fresher verdict, permanently. The
race was reproduced live rather than reasoned about (Gitea 1.25.4): with every
other workflow stripped, probe PR #722 showed run 7520 (`opened`) finishing 20s
AFTER run 7521 (`synchronize`) started. `pull_request_target` runs for one PR
genuinely overlap, older finishing last.

The issue proposed serializing with a non-cancelling concurrency group. That is
REFUTED by measurement: with the group active, runs 7528/7529 still overlapped
and 7528 ended 36s after 7529 began. A first probe appeared to show the group
working — a negative control with no `concurrency:` key at all showed the same
cancellations, revealing Gitea auto-cancels superseded `push` runs on its own
and the probe had measured that, not the group. The auto-cancel does not extend
to `pull_request_target`.

The fix leaves the runs unserialized and instead makes an overtaken run decline
to write: count `change_target_branch` events on the PR timeline at start and
again just before the POST, and post nothing if the count moved. The COUNT is
the key because the branch NAME is ABA-vulnerable (`main -> S -> main` reads
`main` at both ends — how #698 route 1 forged its exemption). Abstaining is a
handoff, not a stall: every retarget fires `edited`, so the event that makes a
run abstain has already queued its successor. `updated_at` was rejected as the
key precisely because it moves for comments/labels, which queue nothing.

#706 race 2 — a human BLOCKED landing in the unclosable window between the
pre-POST re-read and the POST was silently turned green. After an exemption
`success` the job now re-reads the per-POST history and repairs its own status
to `pending` if a human verdict appeared above a high-water mark taken just
before the write. The repair is `pending`, never a copy of the human's state.
The id comparison is load-bearing: a presence test would fire forever on a
base-mismatched verdict and deadlock that PR's exemption.

#707 — `pr-changed-files.sh` bound `.base.ref` and `.head.sha` across the
enumeration but never `.base.sha`, so an ordinary advance of `main` mid-paging
could drop a code path from an offset-paged diff and leave a complete-looking
docs-only list. Now bound from the JSON already fetched (no new round trips).

#711 — `.codex/` added to PROTECTED. It mirrors `.claude/hooks/` byte for byte,
including the merge-consent hook, so the "a PR that can weaken the gate cannot
exempt itself" rule had an incomplete path list. Latent today (untracked), live
the moment anyone tracks it.

Residuals are stated, not implied: a retarget inside the final round-trip, and
the repair being itself a read-then-write. Gitea's status API has no
compare-and-set, so neither reaches zero; both now fail toward `pending`.

Tests: 398 pass in scripts/tests. Each new guard was mutation-checked — the
fence's motion comparison, the untrusted-count gate, the repair POST and the id
high-water mark were each neutered in turn and the intended test went red while
its positive control stayed green.

The `review-verdict/h10` exemption path decided from mutable or unattributed PR
state, and a machine-written `success` was never revalidated. Three routes, one
root cause, so one change.

Route 1 (reproduced live as probe PR #703, closed unmerged): `/pulls/{n}/files`
diffs against the PR's LIVE base, so retargeting moves the answer without moving
the head sha. A PR opened into `main` and retargeted mid-run enumerated docs-only
and was granted `h10=success` while its diff against `main` carried a C# file;
retargeting back reclassified nothing. `scripts/pr-changed-files.sh` now takes the
expected base branch as a REQUIRED 5th argument (optional would be a silent
opt-out) and checks it before and after paging; the workflow passes it from the
`pull_request_target` payload, which a retarget cannot rewrite, and `edited` is in
`types:` so a retarget reclassifies.

A pinned two-sha diff would close route 1 outright but Gitea 1.25.4 cannot serve
one: `compare/{base}...{head}` returns no `files`, and a `--depth=1` fetch of the
two shas has no merge base. Measured, not assumed. The residual window is stated
in the code and the record rather than papered over.

Route 2: `pull_request.user.login` is the PR's immutable CREATOR while its head is
not, so pushing code onto an open Renovate branch kept the exemption. The bot
exemption now also requires EVERY path to be a dependency manifest — a set measured
across all 11 Renovate PRs this repo has had, not guessed.

Route 3: the never-overwrite short-circuit exited on ANY `success`, so a forgery
obtained once was inherited forever. It now fires only for a status positively
identified as a human verdict (non-null `.creator.login` AND a `Review-verdict:`
description — measured: user-posted statuses carry a creator, Actions-posted ones
carry null). Written in the positive direction so an unrecognised shape is
re-derived rather than trusted.

The two exemptions are composed, not chained: as an `elif` chain a Renovate
docs-only PR lost the docs-only exemption. Caught before commit and pinned by a
test.

Tests: 17 new cases in scripts/tests/test_pr_changed_files.py, each verified by
mutating the clause it covers (8 mutations, 8 kills). Both records trimmed under
the 60-line prose ceiling so the corpus tail-boundary check stays calibrated.

Does NOT close the class: anyone who can POST a status directly can still
impersonate a verdict — that is #697, deliberately left open.

timothy 5e7623b8d5 fix(648,649): security-review round 2 — close the version-parse hole and the untested caller contract
Two real defects, and three docs claims that were simply wrong.

jq-preflight.sh parsed the version by stripping around the first `-` and `.`, which
assumed the format is exactly `jq-X.Y`. A build printing `jq version 1.6` left major
empty; the sanity check concatenated major+minor into "6", which is non-empty and
all-digits, so it PASSED. The floor comparison then ran `[ "" -lt 1 ]`, which errors —
and `set -e` exempts a failing command in an `if` condition, so the conditional read
false and the script exited 0 having asserted nothing, after printing a plausible
"parsed" line. The silently-untested-axis failure this script exists to eliminate,
reproduced inside the script itself. Now parsed by explicit regex, failing closed with a
diagnosis when there is no <digits>.<digits> match. Also: `--expect` with no value exited
1 with empty output on both streams.

The hook's exit-status check was pinned by nothing: mutating `if files=$(...)` into
`files=$(...) || true; files_complete=yes` left the ENTIRE suite green. It survived only
by redundancy — the script writes stdout once, right before exit 0, so failures also
happen to yield empty stdout and `[ -n "$files" ]` catches it. Safe by accident, which is
the exact criticism this branch levels at the old code. Four tests now pin it, with a
stub that FAILS while emitting a docs-only list (the one case redundancy cannot absorb)
plus a positive control proving the harness can see the difference. Verified: the
mutation now turns exactly those tests red.

Docs corrections. The record claimed the --expect pin was safe because script-tests is
"advisory, not a required check" — false. The merge-consent hook reads the COMBINED
status (ci.advisory-red-blocks-the-merge-gate, #598), so firing the tripwire blocks every
non-docs-only merge until someone re-pins. Kept anyway, for a stated reason, but no
longer described as free. The record also asserted in the present tense that
review-verdict.yml checks out the base ref; it has no checkout step at all, so that is
now a future-tense requirement on the follow-up. And the documented .status allow-list
named GitHub's `removed`, which the code rejects.

The drift-guard regex anchored on `?limit=`, so a re-inlined copy written
`files?page=1&limit=50` would have walked past it.

timothy 2fd798cccf fix(648,649): one shared PR-file enumeration + an explicit jq version contract
#649 — the enforced review-verdict.yml guard had drifted strictly WEAKER than the
advisory merge-consent hook: four rounds of #643 hardening landed on the copy whose
failures produce a human prompt, and never reached the copy that writes the
branch-protection-required review-verdict/h10 status. Its fail-closed behaviour on a
garbage response was also incidental (an empty `n` erroring a bash conditional to
false), not designed.

Extract scripts/pr-changed-files.sh as the single implementation both call. Shared
MECHANISM, not policy: the two docs-only allow-lists differ deliberately and stay
separate. review-verdict.yml now checks out the BASE ref, never the PR head, so a PR
cannot rewrite the gate that judges it.

#648 — baking jq into docker/ci/Dockerfile provably cannot cover the gate that broke:
review-verdict.yml is runs-on:small with no toolchain pin, so it gets the host's jq 1.6
(checked, not assumed). Add scripts/jq-preflight.sh: floor+observable everywhere, and a
--expect tripwire on script-tests only — pinning the required merge check would deadlock
every merge on a jq bump.

Verified by mutation: six guards individually broken, each turning exactly its own test
red, then restored byte-identical.
