Stop sending users after a package the product does not carry

[MongLong0214]

Closes #303. Found while narrowing whether musl still has an obstacle — the only remaining better-sqlite3 string in the shipped bundle was a user-facing message.

The defect

index --help documented exit 2 as "conflicting flags, or better-sqlite3 is not installed".

Check	Result
declared in package.json dependencies	{} — none at all
in the lockfile	absent
what the index imports	node:sqlite
occurrences in the shipped bundle, before	1 — this message
occurrences after	0

ADR-0012 replaced better-sqlite3 with node:sqlite precisely so there is no native dependency. The one place a failing user is sent pointed at a package that is not part of the product.

The message now says something actionable

Exit codes: 0 built or refreshed, 2 could not run -- conflicting flags, or the SQLite
binding is unavailable, in which case every read still answers from git with --no-index
(SPEC §10).

The second half is the part a missing-package message never had: what happens next.

What is deliberately left alone

index-db.ts's comments still mention better-sqlite3 — they explain why node:sqlite was chosen, and deleting the reason leaves a future reader wondering whether the native option was considered. The new assertion reads only lines that reach a user (help text, stderr writes, thrown messages, command descriptions), not prose that explains a decision.

RED, then GREEN

→ src/commands/index-cmd.ts: 'Exit codes: … or better-sqlite3 is not …
Tests  1 failed | 1 passed

A second assertion checks the rule has teeth: better-sqlite3 really is undeclared and dependencies really is empty, so the first assertion cannot pass vacuously.

Active constraints for the paths this PR touches

Limits (56)

• r-t1110policy 9e7b37a — only a repository-local policy file is read -- PRD-F13 requirement 11 permits either one location or a stated precedence, and an ambiguous precedence is worse than a missing feature
• r-gcwiring f21f28e — the guard against this class is four CLI-level tests; nothing structurally prevents a future subcommand from colliding with a parent option again
• r-flake221fix 2b21ed9 — checkInjectRuntime ENOENT does not block init
• r-lb0xl89a 236229e — the static contract uses explicit placeholder text for TRANSCRIPT and DIFF rather than omitting those sections, because the prompt text references them by name
• r-c44a1edb 71f5197 — src/core/pending-gc.ts -- gc must never remove a staged or applied file regardless of expiry; T-1018 post-commit may still finalise them
• r-0ll5sxk0 2853a22 — consumption happens after commit succeeds, exactly once; consuming earlier loses the record on failed commits, consuming twice lets one record attach to two commits
• r-t1009stage b5fcf4e — the nonce pattern check bounds what a caller can send, but a caller holding a valid nonce for its own repository can stage repeatedly until the record is consumed
• r-t1005gates 15421c0 — policy identity is compared as a hash, so a policy edit that produces the same hash is indistinguishable from no edit
• r-t1006cli d22580b — the command composes the phases in one process, so a crash between verify and stage leaves a verified pending record that only garbage collection will clean up
• r-t1008mcp ab00b54 — src/mcp/server.ts: readOnlyHint must be false for verify_capture — the tool writes verification results to the pending transaction
• r-t1007mcp b6ef112 — commitlore_prepare_capture uses readOnlyHint: false because it writes a pending transaction
• r-t1013verbose205 294ec82 — --verbose only selects the formatter; it does not change runInit logic, step order, exit codes, or --json output
• r-t1022sig e0c641d — the first pushed attempt asserted one header string in the test and built another in the formatter; CI caught the mismatch and the formatter was aligned to the asserted string, which is the one that states the measured figures on the output surface
• r-t1022sig e0c641d — focused-test evidence for this change is CI's, not local; test/guard.test.ts reports zero tests and stalls on this machine at dev with no changes applied
• r-t1024bc 023f6d9 — response shape is exactly five fields per CEO amendments and ADR-0020 confidence-separation constraint | adding a sixth field or letting context inherit guard_confidence violates the acceptance criteria
• r-t1011demo 1c0fc0c — the scene is one fixed pair of decisions, so it demonstrates the mechanism rather than measuring how often it matters
• r-t1020desc dd12b42 — the test asserts on the exact precision and recall figures; a future re-measurement changes both the description and the test
• r-t1020desc dd12b42 — the first attempt's Record-Id used hyphens, which the r-[a-z0-9]{6,} format rejects; both the lint action and the dogfood test caught it
• r-initresult204 ea4a08e — --verbose flag not wired yet (T-1013)
• r-t1030diag 344ada0 — the heuristic uses a regex on the first line of stderr; an error that prints no stack frame and no "not found" string will be reported as cause unclear even if a human could classify it
• r-fix191amb cb94448 — the same-message test still passes by accident of collectRecords returning one record per commit; the divergent-notes test is what exercises the actual suppression path
• r-fix187val 40f2436 — the tip-scan adds one full-history git-log call per range invocation; acceptable for a lint-time check but visible in benchmarks at scale
• r-dupsucceed 6f77fcf — supersession is resolved within one repository's history, so a record superseded in a fork that was never merged still grades as current here
• r-dupsuccorder f46c02d — a successor before a later duplicate cannot resolve that later collision
• r-dupsucc729 5a6b238 — published dev history cannot be rewritten
• r-valdup145 bcb9563 — the same-message check sees only the message, so two commits each declaring the same id separately are still caught by the reference check rather than here
• r-convtrail150 57e89d2 — the denylist answers a different question from isRecordKey's allowlist, so a conventional trailer this protocol later claims would need removing from one and adding to the other
• r-epipe2026 d9ee9ff — spawnSync may report EPIPE after git exits while its input pipe is being written
• r-doctorepipe 0420f5c — the new deterministic tests exercise evaluateInjectRun with a synthetic spawnSync result rather than forcing the live race, because no payload this check sends is large enough to make the write block deterministically the way an artificially large one does in the reproduction above
• r-init107 f485f07 — the generated dist artifacts are rebuilt from TypeScript source
• r-survsplit e73aed5 — path-reachability is measured against git's rename detection, so the figure moves with git's similarity threshold rather than with anything here
• r-probepath 51f6446 — the probe still only runs a command it recognises, so a hand-edited but equivalent hook reports not-checked rather than a verdict
• r-doctorprobe ed94491 — the probe runs only a command it recognises, so a user who hand-edits the hook into an equivalent but different form gets not-checked rather than a verdict
• r-f61a2c 9114cf0 — the matcher remains deterministic and lexical; no embedding or semantic service is available to distinguish paraphrases
• r-init96a 913c7e3 — doctor's own exit-code contract treats warn as non-fatal by design (SPEC §10, commitlore-setup skill) — init deliberately diverges from it for its own summary, and that divergence is the one thing most likely to look like a bug on a future read of this diff
• r-fix92dupid 7f41a6e — cross-references between two blocks declared by the same commit (a Follows:/Supersedes: naming a sibling block's id) are still reported as dangling rather than resolved against the sibling -- unchanged from before this fix, and called out in validate.ts's own comment as future work
• r-parsemulti 6d39d25 — parse has no git-commit context (no sha, no notes mirror) — its identityCollision check is local to the one message being parsed and cannot detect a Record-Id that collides with something already committed elsewhere in history the way context's fold does.
• r-multirec01 92aeb24 — parseRecordBlocks only recognizes a non-final block by its declared Record-Id, so an unidentified inherited record beyond the first stays recoverable in the plan that computed it but not in a later re-parse of stored text; squash-preserve orders unidentified blocks last so the common case (at most one) is unaffected.
• r-multirec01 92aeb24 — multi-block reference checking (Follows:/Supersedes:) does not resolve one block's reference against a sibling block declared by the same commit; each block is still checked against every earlier commit in history.
• r-exit065 e545dee — any new command's exit codes must be drawn from SPEC §10, not invented locally
• r-fix70a1 d707fc7 — one encoding layer and explicit lexical forms in the four published languages; semantic paraphrases, nested encodings, and split payloads remain outside coverage
• r-shwt66 5efa206 — git rev-parse --git-path may return a repository-relative path, so resolve it against cwd
• r-merge66 40e7987 — Generated dist files were resolved only by npm run build and npm run bundle
• r-fix760 fb8ba45 — Git remains the authority on trailer recognition; diagnostics must not loosen the parser
• r-refint74 572f573 — validate cannot perform conservation checks because it has no before state
• r-warn75 24c7cc8 — exit-code semantics remain owned by guard's exit 2 means blocked; everywhere else in the same CLI exit 2 means bad usage #65
• r-shallow66 60a8659 — a depth-1 clone can only inspect its reachable commit history
• r-doctor72 996bcde — generated dist artifacts must come from npm run build and npm run bundle, not a hand merge
• r-fix067 a915af0 — PreToolUse hook failures must always exit 0 and never change stdout's hookSpecificOutput contract
• r-fix063 0b8c496 — doctor performs remote probes; an unreachable remote reports could not verify instead of ok
• r-fix053 ecc4b90 — QueryResult.notes remains repository-level availability and is independent from whether one record was mirrored
• r-fix055 43b40f8 — harvest-verify makes no model call, so semantic entailment is outside its contract
• r-fix054 664d4e2 — notes-only metadata must survive folding; a mirror is one record, not two
• r-fix056 55cb8bc — blocked output may retain only validated structural values that cannot carry prose
• r-7a3e91 cf859e4 — better-sqlite3 stays external because it is native — the bundle degrades to --no-index without it, which only works because r-6f2a08 made that load lazy first
• r-9a5e17 6d68703 — five workers on one repository share npm test and tsc, so file ownership alone does not prevent one worker from "fixing" another's half-written code -- verification scope had to be split too

Ruled out (112)

• r-idxhelp303 cd2ac79 — Deleting the better-sqlite3 mentions in index-db.ts as well | those comments explain why node:sqlite was chosen, and removing the reason leaves a future reader wondering whether the native option was considered
• r-idxhelp303 cd2ac79 — Asserting the package name appears nowhere in src at all | that forbids the explanation along with the defect, so the check reads only lines that reach a user
• r-idxhelp303 cd2ac79 — Naming node:sqlite in the message | the failure a user hits is that the binding is unavailable, and the module name adds nothing they can act on
• r-mcpdraft291 d4444d5 — Changing the harvest contract to emit a bare array instead | the contract text, harvest's validator and the CLI all implement the object shape, so moving the contract would break two working surfaces to accommodate one broken one
• r-mcpdraft291 d4444d5 — Accepting only the object shape and dropping bare-array support | the earlier tool description advertised an array, so a caller may exist that sends one; refusing it now would trade this defect for a different one
• r-mcpdraft291 d4444d5 — Leaving the mismatch and documenting the array shape in the prompt | the prompt is generated by the same code the CLI uses, so the two consumers would then disagree about what the same generated text means
• r-mcpadv273 0166937 — Omitting guard_advisory when it has no matches | absence on the wire reads as no ruled-out alternative applies, which is exactly the claim ADR-0020 forbids; an empty matches array with the disclosure attached says the true thing
• r-mcpadv273 0166937 — Leaving the MCP response as the seven binding fields and treating the advisory as CLI-only | MCP is the first-class surface for every agent that is not using the Claude Code plugin, so a CLI-only advisory is an advisory most callers never see
• r-t1110policy 9e7b37a — Hashing the parsed policy object instead of the file contents | ADR-0021 fixed the input as the contents, and it is the stronger choice: a reformat that changes nothing semantically still changes the identity, and reporting that the file changed is true
• r-t1110policy 9e7b37a — Supporting a user-global policy file alongside the repository-local one | two locations need a precedence rule, and the user story this answers is repository-scoped, so one location removes the ambiguity rather than documenting it
• r-t1110policy 9e7b37a — Ignoring an unknown key in the policy file | a silently dropped key lets a user believe a setting applied; rejecting it names the key and the allowed set
• r-t1110policy 9e7b37a — Falling back to the defaults silently when the file cannot be parsed | the identity hash would then describe a policy the user never asked for, with nothing said about it
• r-t1110policy 9e7b37a — Bumping the pending format version for the new field | ADR-0021 fixed the migration so no version change is needed, and producing one would falsify that ADR
• r-t1109adv 4398856 — Emit raw GuardMatch objects in advisory | renderGuardMatch is the trust-grading boundary that withholds blocked content from model-visible surfaces
• r-t1109adv 4398856 — Add a policy key to control advisory behavior | ADR-0020 classifies guard as non-blocking with no configuration escape
• r-t1109adv 4398856 — Bump PendingRecord.version to 2 | ADR-0021 already fixed migration so no version bump is needed
• r-gcwiring f21f28e — dropping --json from the gc subcommand and relying on the parent's | the subcommand would then document a flag it does not declare, and a reader of capture gc --help would not see it
• r-gcwiring f21f28e — keeping requiredOption and giving gc its own top-level command | gc belongs to capture's surface, and moving it would make the fix a rename rather than a fix
• r-flake221fix 2b21ed9 — downgrade evaluateInjectRun to warn | doctor.test.ts integration test asserts status=fail for ENOENT
• r-flake221fix 2b21ed9 — remove trailers from init.test.ts repoWithRemote | weakens inject-probe test coverage without addressing the semantic defect
• r-lb0xl89a 236229e — parameterising the contract with empty strings | prints a template with empty holes that teaches the session nothing about placeholder handling
• r-t1009stage b5fcf4e — accepting base_head or a diff hash from the caller for efficiency | the caller is the party the transaction exists to constrain, so taking its word for the binding removes the point of the binding
• r-t1009stage b5fcf4e — a single write_record tool that skips the transaction | PRD-F9 forbids it, and it would let a draft reach Git without ever being verified
• r-t1005gates 15421c0 — blocking the commit when a gate fails | the commit is the user's work and the record is ours; failing their commit to protect our bookkeeping inverts whose job this is
• r-t1005gates 15421c0 — treating a null expires_at as unexpired | null means the record was never staged, so it fails the staged requirement before expiry is consulted; reading it as "no expiry" would apply an unstaged record
• r-t1006cli d22580b — exposing prepare, verify and stage as user-facing subcommands | the phases exist for the transaction, not for the user, and three commands is the problem this ticket removes
• r-t1006cli d22580b — exiting non-zero when verification produces nothing | silence is the expected result for most commits, and a non-zero exit would train people to ignore it
• r-t1007mcp b6ef112 — readOnlyHint: true | tool persists state under .git/commitlore/pending/ so marking it read-only would be dishonest
• r-t1022sig e0c641d — keeping the score in text output behind a debug flag | a second flag for a number nobody should act on adds surface without adding information
• r-t1022sig e0c641d — dropping the score from --json as well | a consumer that has already decided to parse structured output is not the reader being misled
• r-t1011demo 1c0fc0c — seeding the demo into the user's repository behind a confirmation | a demo that can modify the thing it is explaining is not a demo, and a confirmation prompt is not a substitute for being unable to
• r-t1011demo 1c0fc0c — recomputing lifecycle inside the demo to keep it self-contained | a second implementation of the rule would drift from the one under test, and the demo would stop being evidence
• r-t1020desc dd12b42 — removing the description entirely | the first two sentences carry useful contract information a caller needs
• r-t1020desc dd12b42 — stating only precision without recall | a caller needs both to judge the signal; recall is the more dangerous gap
• r-t1030diag 344ada0 — a single generic message that quotes stderr without case distinction | it would still let the old "carries no node" wording survive on the exit-127 path, and would not communicate to the reader whether the probe learned anything
• r-t1030diag 344ada0 — parsing more than the first line of stderr to classify the cause | false-uncertain is acceptable, false-confident is not; one line is enough to distinguish the obvious cases
• r-fix191amb cb94448 — adding a guard clause only in checkReferences | leaves the predicate willing to say "resolved" about an unresolvable group; any future third caller would silently inherit the same defect
• r-fix191amb cb94448 — removing the post-filter entirely | the original fix for cross-commit succession is correct and the release gate depends on it
• r-fix187val 40f2436 — passing tip-scoped records directly to findIdCollisions | chronological ordering by committedAt breaks on same-second commits from git-log's newest-first output; the post-filter avoids reordering entirely
• r-fix187val 40f2436 — duplicating hasDeclaredSuccession into validate.ts | the drift between two copies of the same predicate was the bug; a second copy would reproduce it
• r-dupsucceed 6f77fcf — adjusting the four expectations to match the new grades | they encode that trust does not depend on the order records appear in the log, which is a property of the protocol rather than of this implementation
• r-valdup145 bcb9563 — adding a duplicate-id scan to validate on its own | it would have to decide block boundaries again, and a second answer to that question is what let parse and validate disagree in the first place
• r-convtrail150 57e89d2 — excluding Fixes and Closes with the rest | they carry decision context an agent can use, and discarding them would trade a projection full of attribution for one missing the issue a change answers
• r-epipe2026 d9ee9ff — error-first spawn result handling | a completed git process can retain a real status after the input-pipe EPIPE race
• r-doctorepipe 0420f5c — the executable being absent from PATH | the failing run's own message names EPIPE, not ENOENT — the ENOENT branch produces different text than what CI printed, and the executable resolves and runs every time
• r-init107 f485f07 — treating every doctor warn as actionable | no remote is expected before a repository begins sharing records, while configured remote failures still need action
• r-init107 f485f07 — promising rename following for several paths | git log --follow accepts one pathspec and the CLI already reports that limit
• r-survsplit e73aed5 — keeping a single conservation rate with a footnote | the two failures need different fixes and one of them is not a defect in this project at all, so a shared number misdirects the reader on both
• r-probepath 51f6446 — prepending the build output to PATH inside the check | it would make CI green by giving the probe an executable no user has, which is the reverse of testing what is configured
• r-doctorprobe ed94491 — changing what init writes into settings.json | the installed hook was correct in every reported case; the check was reading a different world from the one it was auditing
• r-f61a2c 9114cf0 — raising the guard threshold | the frozen corpus puts every true positive in the middle band, so a higher cutoff removes signal without repairing score order
• r-f61a2c 9114cf0 — dropping keyword evidence | long proposals and diffs dilute Jaccard, while one-token alternatives such as Redis still need lexical containment
• r-init96a 913c7e3 — running doctor --fix first, hooks/index after (the old README recipe's order) | doctor's report would open with findings the next two steps are about to fix, which reads as init shipping with a problem it does not have
• r-init96a 913c7e3 — matching doctor's exit code exactly (0 unless a check is fail) | a warn init cannot resolve itself (no remote, PreToolUse hook) would then sit under a "completed cleanly" summary line — the same silent-success shape doctor's own fix breaks git fetch and git pull, then reports ok #63 and inject --hook-input is byte-identical on malformed input and on no-records: silent fail-open #67 were
• r-fix92dupid 7f41a6e — flagging every duplicate sha in a group regardless of payload, matching parse's labelRecordBlocks exactly | validate's own collision-check array pairs repositoryRecords (already carrying the message's last block once) with a per-block candidate; an unconditional duplicate-sha rule would flag the message's own single last block against its own re-derived copy, a false positive fixed instead by building ownRecords once per message rather than loosening the predicate past correctness
• r-fix92dupid 7f41a6e — reverting core/query.ts's collectRows dedup key back to sha+source+seq once findIdCollisions was fixed | that key was already wrong on its own terms (it does not match the trailers table's unique index), and leaving it in place would keep silently dropping a commit's second record block from any scoped-path context query, collision or not
• r-fix90shape 7f5766d — keeping the parent-count signal and also computing it for --message-file via .git/MERGE_HEAD | that only exists while a merge is in progress (the commit-msg hook's own scenario), not when re-validating an already-made merge commit's extracted message -- which is the issue's own reproduction and stays unreconciled under that approach
• r-parsemulti 6d39d25 — expanding findIdCollisions/index-db to flag a same-message duplicate id generally | reaches into query.ts's lifecycle fold and every consumer route (context, guard, stale) for a case bug-issue-89 only asked parse to surface; the smaller, requested fix is in parse alone.
• r-multirec01 92aeb24 — minting a fresh Record-Id for an inherited record that never declared one | no other code path in this project invents identity; Record-Id is always author-declared, and doing it here would be new scope beyond what the issue asked for
• r-multirec01 92aeb24 — a CI step comparing a PR's commits against its post-merge squash commit, as the primary mechanism for finding 1 | needs a GitHub API dependency this tool takes nowhere else, and can only run after the squash is already pushed; doctor catches the same mistake locally, before push, when the source branch is still in refs/heads
• r-83d43117 8a49ddc — an install-root check for COMMITLORE_BIN | its only reason to exist is aiming the hook at a build outside the install root -- a test harness, a monorepo's local bin. Restricting its location would remove the one thing it is for; doctor's existing COMMITLORE_BIN visibility is the right amount of scrutiny for a channel that is supposed to point anywhere.
• r-83d43117 8a49ddc — resolving commitlore.bin with an external realpath/readlink -f binary | neither is guaranteed on every machine a hook runs on, the same reasoning 1fd0d53 gave for not shelling out to shasum. cd ... && pwd -P is a POSIX-specified builtin and covers the same physical-resolution need without a new dependency.
• r-exit065 e545dee — leaving guard's inversion in place and only documenting it | guard and inject are the two commands wired into hooks and CI, so a script written against guard today is already trusting the number; a documented inversion is still an inversion, and it gets load-bearing the longer it sits. The surface is one boolean per command right now — cheaper to fix once than to explain forever.
• r-fix70a1 d707fc7 — exhaustive per-language phrase enumeration | unbounded phrase lists cannot provide semantic coverage, so this fix documents a bounded lexical policy and independent corpus
• r-shwt66 5efa206 — checking --git-dir/shallow | linked worktrees keep the shallow marker in the common Git directory
• r-fix760 fb8ba45 — testing commits with more than one parent in dogfood scope | their platform-generated merge messages carry no authored decision, so requiring a record would require one nobody wrote
• r-refint74 572f573 — allowing a note to extend a commit record under the same Record-Id | notes are remote-reachable, so divergent content would inherit a human-approved identity
• r-warn75 24c7cc8 — accepting run-on or indented trailers | Git treats them as prose and accepting them would make records ambiguous
• r-doctor72 996bcde — choosing either parent doctor list | each drops a runtime check required by the other incident
• r-fix067 a915af0 — treat an outside-repository file_path as a legitimate no-record result | only an in-repository query can truthfully establish that no records apply; silence would hide a broken matcher
• r-fix063h f0bb995 — leave hook runtime as a separate contradictory check | a fix-bearing installation check must not report ok or warn when the installed hook demonstrably fails
• r-fix063 0b8c496 — add the explicit refspec only after confirming the remote ref exists | setup would depend on today’s remote state and require another doctor run after the first notes push
• r-fix053 ecc4b90 — add a public mirrored boolean | the per-record sources array already models contributing channels, so a second representation would create drift
• r-fix055 43b40f8 — infer whether a quote supports Verified | deterministic text matching can prove presence, not that a check ran
• r-fix055 43b40f8 — downgrade harvested Verified to reconstructed | it preserves a citation-bearing assertion the verifier cannot substantiate
• r-fix054 664d4e2 — write X-Inherited-From into commit messages too | transport metadata would lengthen every preserved user-facing message merely to restore symmetry
• r-fix054 664d4e2 — stop squash-preserve from writing notes | it discards the mirror instead of fixing the query seam
• r-fix056 55cb8bc — reuse the injection omission list for blocked withholding | it includes prose-bearing Evidence and Expires, so it is not a safety boundary
• r-7b26f1 ec070ec — retrying the read inside the transaction | a write lock held across a subprocess is a worse failure than the one being fixed
• r-1e58d3 1fd0d53 — removing the recorded-path branch entirely | a clone is on no PATH and in no node_modules (ADR-0011), and that branch is the only thing that finds the CLI there
• r-1e58d3 1fd0d53 — hashing the recorded binary at install time | shasum is not guaranteed on every machine a hook runs on, and a check that silently no-ops is worse than the one being replaced
• r-9c74b3 68340e4 — withholding only in --json | a shell agent reads stdout, and the text form is what it reads
• r-4b17f8 7efba5c — retrying the read inside the transaction | a transaction holding a write lock while it shells out to git is a lock held across a subprocess
• r-7a48c3 b85d847 — a CONFLICTED lifecycle state for divergent declarations | see above — it would block work on records that have a correct answer
• r-8d51a6 27f73b0 — filtering blocked matches out of the result | the caller needs to know something matched; withholding is a rendering decision, made once
• r-8d51a6 27f73b0 — reusing exit 1 for "could not check" | 1 already means a broken invocation, and a hook that cannot tell a bad flag from an unreadable repository will treat both as noise
• r-2f7d94 a7673d0 — an allow-list of free-text keys | it is the shape of the original bug, and a new key would be unguarded until someone remembered
• r-2f7d94 a7673d0 — leaving the wording generic ("a trailer") | an operator needs to know which line to edit, and the key was available two frames up
• r-4e29b7 66829bb — folding this into the existing notes field | they are independent axes and can co-occur; one enum would have to enumerate the product
• r-4e29b7 66829bb — throwing on an unreadable repository | context runs from a hook on every edit, and an exception there is a broken editor rather than a refusal
• r-1c47e9 0e9930b — dropping the check | the two installation failures it exists for are real and were both invisible to configuration reads
• r-1c47e9 0e9930b — probing whichever file is newer | "which artifact is this installation" is a fact about the layout, not about timestamps
• r-3d92a8 f85101a — keeping the searches first and fixing the shim | the shim belongs to npm, not to us, and the version-skew problem survives the fix
• r-3d92a8 f85101a — a config-only hook check | it was written, it reported ok, and the hook failed on the next commit
• r-7c05e2 218ea28 — fetching notes automatically when the ref is missing | a query is a read, and silently reaching the network on a read is a surprise that belongs to git fetch
• r-7c05e2 218ea28 — leaving it to doctor | doctor is run by a person once, and the answer that misleads is the one an agent gets on every task
• r-7c05e2 218ea28 — a diagnostic string alone | the field it qualifies is records: [], and prose is not something a consumer can branch on
• r-9b31c7 e8d45fb — keeping the placeholder until author trust was configurable | the placeholder was the permissive direction, so waiting meant shipping the hole
• r-9b31c7 e8d45fb — withholding blocked payloads from the CLI too | a person reading a terminal can disbelieve a sentence; a tool result is retrieved fact
• r-9b31c7 e8d45fb — dropping blocked records from the MCP answer entirely | an agent that silently receives less than there is cannot notice, and cannot audit
• r-6c48b2 aaadedf — matching the whole file at edit time | the file contains everything the agent did not write, and GUARD-CANNOT-BLOCK measured prose surfaces producing false alarms specifically on compliant agents
• r-6c48b2 aaadedf — blocking on a match | the score bands overlap, measured
• r-6c48b2 aaadedf — running T-705 · guard route benchmark — measure the path SPEC §5 assigned to Ruled-out #37 without this pre-check | an arm that fires zero times measures nothing, and 120 runs is an expensive way to learn that
• r-5b9e37 010782c — baking the resolved path into the hook stub | hooks status is a byte comparison against commitMsgStub(), so every hook installed from a different checkout would report outdated forever
• r-5b9e37 010782c — an npx fallback | the existing comment is right — npx --no still queries the registry when the package is absent, putting a network call on every commit and breaking offline commits
• r-2f9c40 07f47ca — wiring guard into the plugin as a blocking hook | true and false positives occupy the same score band on real agent output, so the only precision-safe threshold catches 1 of 5 and every useful threshold blocks four compliant edits in twenty-five
• r-2f9c40 07f47ca — raising RECORD_ID_WEIGHT's threshold instead of gating the signal | the false alarms scored 1.0000, so no threshold below the maximum excludes them and the maximum excludes everything
• r-2f9c40 07f47ca — semantic matching to separate the populations | ADR-0002 keeps the core LLM-free and zero-cost, and B-04 · Optional embedding-search tier #31 registers embeddings as opt-in — nothing measured here justifies moving that into the core
• r-7a3e91 cf859e4 — inlining spec/SPEC.md and the schema into the bundle | SPEC.md would need a codegen step that itself needs a drift guard, and the package-root walk removes the reason to want it
• r-7a3e91 cf859e4 — replacing the tsc output with the bundle | test/cli.test.ts, test/hooks.test.ts and test/mcp.test.ts import dist internals by path
• r-9a5e17 6d68703 — let each command edit src/cli.ts | guaranteed conflict, and the conflict surfaces only after every worker has finished
• r-9a5e17 6d68703 — npx fallback in the hook stub | a network call on every commit, and offline commits start failing

Warnings (41)

• r-t1110policy 9e7b37a (claim) — the key order in POLICY_DEFAULTS is the hash input -- reordering those three lines changes the digest every pending file in flight was written with, which the pinned test exists to catch
• r-t1109adv 4398856 (claim) — Advisory text reaches a model; only RenderedGuardMatch (never raw GuardMatch) may be written to the pending file
• r-dupsuccorder f46c02d (claim) — preserve chronological ordering when changing duplicate detection
• r-dupsucc729 5a6b238 (claim) — a successor must remain later than the duplicate declaration
• r-epipe2026 d9ee9ff (claim) — preserve a non-null status before interpreting an EPIPE input-pipe race as a spawn failure
• r-init107 f485f07 (claim) — a configured but unreachable remote remains an actionable warning and exits 1
• r-f61a2c 9114cf0 (claim) — keyword-strength is IDF-weighted keyword mass multiplied by unweighted distinctive-token coverage; do not restore the old identity label
• r-fix90shape 7f5766d (claim) — a message whose first line happens to start with one of these templates on a non-merge, non-CommitLore commit would also be excused if its trailer-shaped final paragraph were entirely unknown-key -- the same shape of risk bug-issue-76's original parent-count gate carried for genuine merge commits, now traded for one that is at least computable the same way everywhere
• r-parsemulti 6d39d25 (claim) — context and validate still do not catch two commit-sourced blocks in the current message sharing one Record-Id unless a notes mirror also disagrees (findIdCollisions requires a notes-sourced record in the group) — parse's check is intentionally independent, not a call into that function, so fixing this in context/validate is separate work.
• r-multirec01 92aeb24 (claim) — index-db.ts SCHEMA_VERSION is now 2 for the added block column — bump it again, not the shape in place, the next time the trailers table changes.
• r-83d43117 8a49ddc (claim) — the containment check resolves the recorded path's directory physically and separately rejects a symlink at the final component, but does not protect a relative commitlore.bin with no path separator (a bare filename), which resolves against the hook's cwd and could coincide with the install root in a repository that installs commitlore against itself. That residual case sits in the same accepted-risk category as the severity note above: an attacker who can write that config key already has an equivalent, direct route.
• r-exit065 e545dee (claim) — guard's swap is a breaking change for anything scripted against the old exit 2 for "matched" — see CHANGELOG Unreleased/Breaking
• r-fix70a1 d707fc7 (claim) — add malicious and benign fixtures together when extending scanner patterns; false positives can make the defence unusable
• r-merge66 40e7987 (claim) — test/hooks.test.ts must keep both worktree git-path resolution and reference-integrity assertions
• r-fix760 fb8ba45 (claim) — unknown-only final paragraphs are treated as prose only when the source is a multi-parent commit
• r-refint74 572f573 (claim) — exact commit and note mirrors remain one logical record; only divergent note payloads collide
• r-warn75 24c7cc8 (claim) — query several paths one at a time when rename history matters
• r-shallow66 60a8659 (claim) — shallow history remains advisory; query and guard exit-code semantics are unchanged
• r-doctor72 996bcde (claim) — keep commit-msg health bound to hook-runtime and keep inject-runtime as a separate known-good payload probe
• r-fix067 a915af0 (claim) — the accepted tool set is the union of the plugin and settings matchers; aligning those matchers remains Shallow clone: answers from 1 commit of history without saying history is truncated #66
• r-fix063 0b8c496 (claim) — the wildcard fetches every ref under refs/notes, including notes owned by other tools
• r-fix055 43b40f8 (claim) — Verified remains valid protocol vocabulary for facts recorded from actual command or test execution; only harvest refuses it
• r-7b26f1 ec070ec (claim) — the concurrency test is deterministic rather than sleep-based, so it proves the transaction boundary and not the absence of every race
• r-1e58d3 1fd0d53 (claim) — COMMITLORE_BIN still accepts any executable, deliberately — a harness must be able to aim the hook at a specific build. It is now reported rather than restricted
• r-9c74b3 68340e4 (claim) — context now prints [blocked] beside a record whose payload is gone, which is more visually alarming than the old silent leak. That is the intended direction — a withheld record should be conspicuous — but it changes what a clean repository's output looks like the first time someone commits a Warn: that trips a pattern by accident
• r-4b17f8 7efba5c (claim) — deleteNoteRows opens its own transaction inside the new outer one. better-sqlite3 nests these as savepoints; node:sqlite has neither, so ADR-0012's migration must flatten this rather than assume it works
• r-7a48c3 b85d847 (claim) — these two changes were developed concurrently in one worktree and share a built dist/. Splitting them would leave one commit whose dist/ did not match its src/, so they land together and are described together
• r-5c92e0 73b1285 (claim) — the delegate reported "943 passed" for a suite whose baseline is 1108. It ran while another task was writing to the same worktree and collected a partial set. The real count, verified here on a quiet tree, is 1109 across 31 files — but a delegated test count is now a claim to check, not a result to accept
• r-8d51a6 27f73b0 (claim) — guard stays advisory. Nothing here makes it block, and GUARD-CANNOT-BLOCK still holds — the point is that it no longer lies about what it saw
• r-2f7d94 a7673d0 (claim) — Evidence: and Expires: are now scanned. Both usually hold paths and dates, so a false positive there withholds a legitimate record. No case is known; a legitimate record carrying a path, a URL and a date was checked and passes
• r-4e29b7 66829bb (claim) — historyAvailability spends two git invocations per query. Both are metadata reads, but this is a hot path and nothing measures it yet
• r-1c47e9 0e9930b (claim) — this is the second defect in three days from assuming the development checkout is the deployment. The first was exec node in the run script
• r-3d92a8 f85101a (claim) — hook-runtime executes the hook on every doctor run. The probe message is valid so nothing is written, but it is no longer a read-only command
• r-3d92a8 f85101a (claim) — the check pins PATH to /usr/bin:/bin, which assumes git is there. On a system where it is not, this reports a hook failure that is really a probe failure
• r-7c05e2 218ea28 (claim) — notesAvailability runs git rev-parse and up to two git config reads on every query. Config-only, no network, but it is not free on a hot path
• r-9b31c7 e8d45fb (claim) — the default is now fail-closed on every route — with no --trusted-author, every Warn: grades claim. That is SPEC §7 and it is what inject already did, but a user who saw [directive] yesterday will see [claim] today
• r-6c48b2 aaadedf (claim) — recall here is against four re-proposals. It is a go/no-go signal for whether an arm has anything to measure, not an effect size
• r-5b9e37 010782c (claim) — commitlore.bin and commitlore.node are local config, so they do not survive a fresh clone of a repository whose hook was installed elsewhere — re-run hooks install there, which is what the failure message now says
• r-2f9c40 07f47ca (claim) — --require-content changes precision, not recall; it removes a false-alarm class and catches nothing new
• r-7a3e91 cf859e4 (claim) — hardcoding ../ counts back to the package root is what broke this — new code reads assets through installedPath(), never through import.meta.url
• r-9a5e17 6d68703 (claim) — commands are advertised in --help only once they work -- test/cli.test.ts holds the landed and unlanded lists, and moving a name between them belongs in the commit that wires it

git log --follow accepts exactly one pathspec, so renames are not followed for 5 paths; query one path at a time to follow its rename chain

withheld the content of 1 record(s) graded blocked: a Verified trailer matching an injection pattern is reported, never quoted (SPEC §7)
