Stop the README saying Windows is unsupported, and check that it cannot again

[MongLong0214]

Found by an external review of v0.5.0.

The contradiction

docs/COMPATIBILITY.md has called Windows supported since T-1124 established #71's containment there by execution. Every README went on saying the opposite five sections later — in four languages — while pointing at that document as the authority.

A Windows user read: the plugin install path → supported in the compatibility doc → Windows is unsupported at the end of the same README.

It is the second time

Alpine and other musl Linux hosts are unsupported outlived the executed install that made it false, and was removed the same way (#324). Both bullets sat in a section the compatibility work was forbidden to edit, and both were found by reading rather than by anything failing.

That is the part worth fixing, so the missing direction is asserted:

for every host the table calls supported, no README declares it unsupported

Proved by restoring the bullet and watching it fail:

README.md says "- Windows is unsupported: #95." while the host table calls Windows supported

The oracle moved with the bullet

readme.test.ts mutated Windows is unsupported to show an unrelated change does not disturb the guard assertions. A replace whose needle is gone is a no-op, so removing the bullet would have left that oracle passing while testing nothing — the same false-green class this file exists to catch. It anchors on a bullet that exists now, and asserts the needle is present before relying on it.

uninstall had no documentation

It shipped in 0.5.0 and no README mentioned it. Added in all four, stating what it removes and what it deliberately leaves to the commands that own it.

Verification

• readme, readme-order, readme-numbers, compatibility-matrix, install-script — 92 passed
• node scripts/check-readme-numbers.mjs — exit 0
• The new assertion fails on the restored bullet and passes without it

Active constraints for the paths this PR touches

Limits (46)

• r-convertreadme e12c816 — a README claim about the default workflow is only true if the shipped skill performs it, and the skill currently requires the user to name CommitLore first
• r-fieldreport 753f4e7 — this section reports one engineer's day on one repository; it is evidence that the mechanism works there, not a measured effect size, and the wording has to keep those apart
• r-readmefinal 40aeae0 — a mutation oracle anchored on a claim that can become false will silently stop testing when the claim is removed; the needle has to be asserted present
• r-release050 ad402c7 — the hook is written at install time, so a corrected release never reaches a repository that already has one; every release fixing hook behaviour has to say what repairs an existing install
• r-winsupported1124 6333251 — repositories that installed the hook before Windows: the commit-msg hook hangs instead of returning, and #71's containment can never match there #321 keep the old stub and must re-run commitlore hooks install; a corrected release does not reach them, and this row's claim is about a working install
• r-compat1122 e7d8516 — a non-empty guard does not detect deletion; each table's row keys have to be asserted as a set or the statement can silently shrink to one row
• r-compat1122 e7d8516 — substring comparison hides a narrowing -- ./ is inside ../ and Edit|Write is inside Edit|Write|MultiEdit|NotebookEdit -- so cells are compared as their rendered form
• r-compat1122 e7d8516 — a sentinel containing \0 makes git treat the file as binary, which costs it diff, blame and log -p permanently
• r-compat1122 e7d8516 — the plugin path needs bash, because scripts/commitlore-run.sh carries a #!/bin/bash shebang, and no install script checks for it
• r-muslbullet1126 04ac181 — this ticket owns four bullets and not the tests that read the section around them, so a check that breaks here means a region was taken that was not allocated
• r-t1120nodeinst 14deeb4 — git and node are hard prerequisites now, so a host without them installs nothing and says which one is missing
• r-gateb3rev a2e38b9 — the shipped install.sh downloads a platform asset, so no document may describe it as Node-only until the installer itself changes
• r-rel041notes 71efe1f — 0.4.1 makes the installer honest about a verification it cannot complete rather than fixing the kill, so an upgrading user may still see the unverified message instead of a version
• r-rel040pins b76c40b — the pin names a tag that does not exist until the tag is pushed; between this merge and that push the documented command refers forward
• r-rel040notes 5d57a72 — the 26.3-point density gap quoted in the notes is measured at this head and will drift with merge volume; it is illustrative of the denominator problem rather than a stable figure
• r-t1016svg 321c6f1 — byte-exactness is verified on this platform; a different platform's Node could in principle render differently, and nothing here proves it does not
• r-t1021known 8dfffc1 — the figures are measured against one archived 417-decision corpus, which is deliberately hard and is not deployment prevalence
• r-pin030readme 504b54e — install.sh must already support tag-based download for the one-liner to work; verified that the URL resolves to a tagged tree
• r-hero172a bc0d971 — Stale-exposure benchmark is one corpus, one query, and one pinned embedding model at a fixed two-record budget
• r-be140cost 8c01bd5 — no per-turn provider token ledger or observed avoided-work cost exists yet
• r-readme129 ab5f210 — the break-even rests on tokens estimated from bytes at the product's own four-characters-per-token constant, so it moves with that assumption
• r-m4basis 5e2d2cb — the guard question stays unanswered until the exposure instrument is verified and M4 is rerun on it
• r-m4withdraw e5f9b73 — the guard question is now unanswered rather than answered null
• r-readmeux1 b664205 — interactive record building does not exist, so the honest answer is still "an agent writes it or you do"
• r-rel021a a79e350 — v0.2.0 remains on the remote with no release attached
• r-expreadme1 9e69abe — bench/VERDICT-M4.md still cites the Fisher figure; the two disagree until the verdict records why the number was withdrawn from the README
• r-expomerge1 d6ad014 — M4's existing rows have no exposure field and must read as unknown, not as not-exposed — backfilling by inference would erase the finding
• r-rdme96a 9c9371c — scripts/check-readme-numbers.mjs's withdrawal-notice and stray-statistic checks constrain what can appear outside the (absent, here) generated benchmark block — re-checked after every edit, not just at the end
• r-fix93pkg 9c4a396 — package.json remains a development artifact (build, typecheck, dependency floor) -- it is not read as a distribution manifest by anything in this repository
• r-relinstall c6e1d04 — never tested against the real GitHub release infrastructure (no release exists yet — that is the owner's action) — verified against a locally built SEA binary, a hand-made SHA256SUMS, and a local HTTP server standing in for GitHub's release-asset redirects, which is everything this repository lets a change verify before a tag exists.
• 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-shallow66 60a8659 — a depth-1 clone can only inspect its reachable commit history
• r-det058 695cdf6 — the suite must need no model, agent, network or uncommitted benchmark input
• 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-9c07e2 9c4d25a — the plugin still needs Node for the CLI — the protocol does not, but guard, the index and the MCP server do (T-706 · Bundle the CLI as a single file — run from a clone alone #38)
• r-9c2f74 d653153 — the ablation arms cannot discriminate on these fixtures -- no-grade and no-lifecycle are byte-identical to the treatment in 9 of 10 tasks, because the seeds carry one reconstructed record and one task with a lifecycle trailer between them
• r-9c2f74 d653153 — the harness assembles its own projection rather than calling the shipped injector, so what is measured is the harness's rendering of the records, not src/core/inject.ts (issue B-08 · Replace the benchmark harness injector with the actual src/core/inject.ts #36)
• r-4a8e15 49e12c7 — git's grammar requires a subject before a trailer block, so a serialized block is not by itself a parseable message
• r-6e1a72 5e09846 — npx commitlore is the first thing a reader will try, and it fails until the package is published
• r-7e5f02 e5f5e00 — npm installs through an engine mismatch, so the ecosystem's own signal cannot be relied on to stop anything
• r-7f0e39 76f3f2d — literal substitution only catches the exact strings you list, so the same term written with a different separator survives
• r-5a8c04 c46a577 — git owns the definition of a trailer block, so any behavior we cannot get from interpret-trailers is behavior we must not invent
• r-9d31b7 4ac6e30 — the example lives in four translated files, so any fix that is not mechanically enforced will drift again on the next edit
• r-c0f4e2 3d249cd — npm gitlore is held by an active same-domain CLI, so the owner's first-choice name was not available
• r-b2e7f1 00d348d — Parsing must delegate to git interpret-trailers -- reimplementing the block rules would drift from the rest of the git ecosystem
• r-a8f3c1 ef48843 — Rename must land before any code exists -- after 27 tickets it would touch spec, fixtures, index, hooks and every doc

Ruled out (103)

• r-convertreadme e12c816 — Adding "Keep coding normally" now | the commit skill still triggers on explicit requests and teaches harvest; shipping the sentence first repeats the doc-ahead-of-code failure this session fixed twice
• r-convertreadme e12c816 — Writing testimonials to fill the social-proof section | one real field report exists, and fabricated or padded quotes would cost the claim honesty that is this project's strongest asset
• r-convertreadme e12c816 — Moving the benchmark block and protocol detail out of the README now | the generated block is byte-compared by check-readme-numbers and the guard figures are asserted inside the limitations slice; the move is worth doing and is worth its own change
• r-convertreadme e12c816 — Dropping "decision authority" everywhere | it is the right term in the architecture sections; it is only the wrong term for a first screen
• r-fieldreport 753f4e7 — Presenting the 7.4s index and 768 commits as product benchmarks | they are one machine's numbers on one corpus, and bench/ is where measured claims live under ADR-0018's provenance rules
• r-fieldreport 753f4e7 — Paraphrasing his account in the product's voice | the credibility is that somebody outside the project said it, and paraphrase throws exactly that away
• r-fieldreport 753f4e7 — Leading the README with this | the opening claim is the product's own and should stay first; this belongs where a reader who is already interested asks what it looks like in practice
• r-readmefinal 40aeae0 — Rewriting the bullet to say Windows is supported | the compatibility document owns the support statement, and a second copy in four READMEs is the duplication the ownership map exists to prevent
• r-readmefinal 40aeae0 — Checking only the English README | the contradiction shipped in four languages, and a reader sees one of them
• r-readmefinal 40aeae0 — Asserting every host row against every README line | only the supported direction is decidable from the table; a host the table calls undecided may honestly be described either way
• r-release050 ad402c7 — 0.4.2 | a new command and a platform support claim are not a patch, and calling them one hides both from anyone reading version numbers to decide whether to upgrade
• r-release050 ad402c7 — 1.0.0 | nothing here breaks an existing install, and the milestone that closed is Gate B rather than a stability commitment
• r-release050 ad402c7 — Describing Windows as supported without the caveat | the word is the one most likely to be read as more than it is, and the release that earns it is the right place to bound it
• r-winsupported1124 6333251 — Flipping the cell on the throwaway verification head | the ticket requires the attacks to pass in a required job in this ticket's own pull request, and a head that exists to be discarded is not that
• r-winsupported1124 6333251 — Leaving the assertion pinned and editing only the document | the two contradict each other, so the suite would fail; a guard that blocks the change it was guarding for is a defect in the guard
• r-winsupported1124 6333251 — Widening this ticket to the hook fix so it could be self-contained | the stop condition sent that to T-1127 for good reason, and this ticket's job was to measure and then say the word once measurement allowed it
• r-compat1122 e7d8516 — Carrying the README's musl reason into the matrix | it cites glibc-only binaries, and there are no binaries; repeating it would document a mechanism that no longer exists
• r-compat1122 e7d8516 — Reading the gate's removal as musl support | absence of a check is not evidence of working, which is why it was executed on two architectures instead
• r-compat1122 e7d8516 — Claiming musl as a class from one image | alpine:3.21 is what ran, so other musl distributions are undecided rather than promised
• r-compat1122 e7d8516 — One prerequisite column covering both install paths | the plugin path checks nothing, so a shared column would imply an enforcement a user does not get
• r-compat1122 e7d8516 — Asserting the documented install command as its own string | it is <plugin>@<marketplace>, so deriving it from the two manifests makes a rename of either fail here
• r-muslbullet1126 04ac181 — Replacing the bullet with "musl is supported" | T-1122 owns the compatibility statement, and a second summary in the README is the duplication the ownership map exists to prevent
• r-muslbullet1126 04ac181 — Removing the Windows bullet beside it | it is still true, test/readme.test.ts uses its exact wording as a mutation oracle, and T-1124 owns that claim
• r-muslbullet1126 04ac181 — Folding this into T-1122's pull request | that ticket's forbidden scope is one pointer line per README and nothing else; widening it to fix an adjacent owner's debris is how single-writer discipline decays
• r-muslbullet1126 04ac181 — Merging T-1122 first and cleaning up afterwards | two ordinary merges are not transactional, and the window where dev contradicts itself has no upper bound
• r-nobin284 ab2f08f — Keeping the binary classification arm for the installer's wrapper | the wrapper is a shell script that execs node, so trusting it by name would re-admit any extensionless executable called commitlore while the bundle it runs is the thing with an interpreter to check
• r-nobin284 ab2f08f — Relaxing the dogfood Evidence check to allow a missing path | it exists to catch a citation nobody can follow, and dropping the check to accommodate a deletion would retire the guarantee instead of correcting the question it asked
• r-nobin284 ab2f08f — Leaving src/core/paths.ts alone because ADR-0026's inventory did not name it | it was the only remaining code that read files out of a compiled artifact, so leaving it would have left the invariant false while the test asserting it passed
• r-nobin284 ab2f08f — Keeping /dist/commitlore in gitignore in case a binary returns | an ignore rule for an artifact nothing produces is a claim that something might, and the ADR says otherwise
• r-t1120nodeinst 14deeb4 — Hardcoding the release version in install.sh as the default | it would add a bump obligation to every release and a stale default between a tag and the bump; git ls-remote resolves the newest tag with no API token and no rate limit
• r-t1120nodeinst 14deeb4 — Defaulting to a branch when no tag is given | installing a moving target is what pinning exists to prevent, and the release gate already forbids a dev-referencing one-liner
• r-t1120nodeinst 14deeb4 — Writing the wrapper with cp over the destination | an in-place overwrite of a file that may be executing is the defect that forced a same-day patch release; the wrapper is written beside the target and renamed
• r-t1120nodeinst 14deeb4 — Letting post-install verification decide the exit code | that was the other half of the same defect, where a killed --version became the installer's exit status; verification now retries once and reports, and an install that succeeded exits 0
• r-t1120nodeinst 14deeb4 — Editing the shell profile when the wrapper directory is not on PATH | an active record on this file rejects it, and printing the line is what this script does about PATH
• r-t1120nodeinst 14deeb4 — A test-only environment hook to force a verification failure | a source repository whose bundle exits non-zero is a real broken release and needs no seam in shipped code
• r-t1120nodeinst 14deeb4 — Checking for git with command -v alone | a git that cannot execute is as useless here as a missing one, so the check runs git --version and catches both
• r-gateb3rev a2e38b9 — Keeping the compiled binary as an optional extra alongside the Node path | the entire platform surface exists because of that one artifact, so optional keeps the release matrix, the per-target checksums, the binary-versus-script classification and the target compatibility matrix
• r-gateb3rev a2e38b9 — Deleting ADR-0015 instead of marking it superseded | ADR-0011 links to it, and a record that vanishes leaves a broken reference and hides that the decision was ever made
• r-gateb3rev a2e38b9 — Rewriting the README shell install instructions in this change | the shipped installer still downloads a platform asset, so the rewrite would describe behaviour the code does not have
• r-gateb3rev a2e38b9 — Leading the install documentation with the shell one-liner and mentioning the plugin second | for a Claude Code user the plugin is one step that also registers MCP, the pre-edit hook and the skills, so leading with a CLI-only script hides the shorter path and leaves the agent surfaces unwired
• r-gateb3rev a2e38b9 — Adding placeholder Gate B rows for the re-planned distribution work | an acceptance row with no approved ticket is the dangling authority the Gate A matrix was written to stop
• r-gateb3rev a2e38b9 — Removing the compiled-binary code in this change | a scope reversal and a code removal are different reviews, and combining them lets the removal skip its own
• r-rel041notes 71efe1f — folding this into the next feature release | the documented install is broken for upgraders now, and every day it stays tagged is a day the one-liner in the README fails for them
• r-rel041notes 71efe1f — moving the v0.4.0 tag to the fixed commit | a tag users may already have fetched must not change under them; the fix gets its own version
• r-rel040pins b76c40b — pinning after the tag exists so the reference is never briefly dangling | the notes, the version and the pin have to land together or the release is internally inconsistent at the moment it is cut, and the tag follows within the same promotion
• r-rel040notes 5d57a72 — describing 0.4.0 as making agents safer | no study here measures agent behaviour, and the recovery protocol is registered and unrun; the release delivers a loop, not an outcome
• r-rel040notes 5d57a72 — omitting guard's figures from the release notes because they are unflattering | the notes are read by people deciding whether to trust the tool, and a quality limit hidden at release time is discovered in use
• r-t1016svg 321c6f1 — a terminal recorder dependency | the artifact would then depend on a tool's output format, and reproducing it would mean reproducing that tool's version
• r-t1016svg 321c6f1 — a frame manifest with tolerance instead of byte comparison | a check that tolerates drift stops detecting the drift it exists to detect
• r-t1021known 8dfffc1 — stating precision alone | precision without recall reads as a quality score and hides the failure mode that matters, which is silence
• r-t1021known 8dfffc1 — publishing the point estimates without the Wilson interval | a figure without its interval is the defect this project removed from the README twice already
• r-pin030readme 504b54e — referencing main instead of a tag | main is also mutable and does not name a reviewed release
• r-pin030readme 504b54e — leaving the pin at v0.2.0 until the next release | v0.3.0 is tagged and published; the mismatch with package.json is a documentation defect now, not a timing issue
• r-be140cost 8c01bd5 — retaining a modelled break-even figure | a ratio inherits its weakest input, and the denominator is assumed rather than observed
• r-readme129 ab5f210 — writing that CommitLore saves tokens | the cost is measured and the threshold is arithmetic, but nothing here shows the guard clears it, and that gap is the whole reason the section states three things instead of one
• r-m4basis 5e2d2cb — keeping the non-delivery wording as a hedged claim | it asserts something I never established, and a verdict that overstates its own evidence is the defect this repository exists to catch
• r-m4withdraw e5f9b73 — retracting the dataset or calling M4 invalid | the data is valid and its provenance is clean; what it measured was not the treatment, and those are different words
• r-readmeux1 b664205 — describing harvest as automatic record creation | it drafts from a transcript and a human still commits, and claiming otherwise is the overreach this project keeps closing issues about
• r-rel021a a79e350 — retagging v0.2.0 | the tag is already on the remote and moving a published tag breaks anyone who fetched it
• r-m4docs1 32d5bf1 — keeping the withdrawal notice and only landing the verdict document | bench/report.ts already draws this line -- a provenanced dataset that still shows a withdrawal is a hard failure in check-readme-numbers.mjs (checked here), not a style choice left open
• r-rel0200a a074754 — bumping ci.yml's "v0.1.0 was published with zero attached assets" comments | those describe a historical fact about the actual v0.1.0 release, not a version this project declares; the check they document (releases/latest/download/SHA256SUMS returning 200) is written to start exercising the real path automatically the day any release ships assets, v0.2.0 included, with no workflow edit
• r-rel0200a a074754 — touching docs/adr/ADR-0001-scope-v010.md, docs/tickets/release.md, bench/VERDICT-M1.md, HANDOFF.md, bench/ROUTE-GAP.md | planning and historical-record prose that names v0.1.0 as a past decision or measurement subject, not a live version carrier
• r-rel0200a a074754 — changing test/mcp.test.ts's CommitLore-Version: 0.1.0 fixture trailer | that's protocol-version content inside a synthetic seed commit (what an old commit's trailer looked like), unrelated to and never asserted against package.json's version
• r-rdme96a 9c9371c — dropping the git-clone / source-build paths from the top entirely | install.sh is the fast path, not a universal one (no Windows binary yet, per ADR-0015) — the detailed section has to stay reachable, just not first
• r-fix93pkg 9c4a396 — repointing bin at dist/commitlore.mjs instead of removing it | that entry exists only to serve a package-manager install ADR-0011 already replaced with a git clone; repointing it keeps maintaining a path to an install mode that will never happen
• r-fix93pkg 9c4a396 — also removing files now | the issue's own "After B-09 · Single static binary — remove the Node runtime dependency #39" note groups bin/files/dependencies as one cleanup once the static binary lands; files alone is inert without a registry rather than actively broken, so doing it now means doing it twice
• r-relinstall c6e1d04 — guessing the current version to build the asset URL directly | would need either the GitHub API (rate-limited, needs no-auth headers handled correctly) or trusting a redirect's final Location header parsing. Downloading the fixed-URL SHA256SUMS first and reading the real asset name back out of it needs neither and is what the checksum step has to fetch anyway.
• r-relinstall c6e1d04 — local for scoping — not POSIX per se, but supported by dash, bash, and every shell this script is realistically piped into (verified directly, see Verified) | not used in the end; the script has few enough variables that scoping was not needed, only noted here because it was considered.
• 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-det058 695cdf6 — add the 100k history suite to CI | CI budget and deterministic local measurement are separate decisions
• r-6f92c4 3cebb89 — restating the withdrawn numbers as prose ("we measured a reduction") | it is the same claim with the evidence removed
• r-6f92c4 3cebb89 — leading with the protocol's features and putting the measurement record near the bottom | that is the arrangement of someone hoping it is not read
• r-2b58d4 4842356 — exempting datasets written before the fields existed | it is one line and it deletes the guarantee
• r-6b83f2 4c1a503 — deleting both sentences | the clone-runs-without-installing claim is true for validate, context, guard and the MCP server, and dropping it would understate what a clone gives you as badly as the old text overstated it
• 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-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-c53d19 110be8c — leaving the claim and letting T-706 · Bundle the CLI as a single file — run from a clone alone #38 make it true later | the README is what someone reads while deciding to adopt this, and a claim that is false today does not become honest because it is scheduled
• r-9c07e2 9c4d25a — invoking npx on every Edit | it puts a registry round trip on the hot path of every tool call, which is how a hook earns being uninstalled
• r-9c07e2 9c4d25a — committing dist/ so the plugin is self-contained from a git clone | it puts build output in review diffs forever to save one background install
• r-0d4b81 8005227 — a longer quickstart that demonstrates context, limits, ruled-out, warnings and stale | an agent calls those itself once the MCP server is registered, so listing them teaches the human a workflow that is not theirs
• r-7f31c9 750ab17 — reporting both datasets from one source list | readSources groups by condition and cannot separate repositories, so any second dataset with a commitlore-on arm silently corrupts the headline test
• r-9c2f74 d653153 — resume the pilot into the same file | a new process would load the edited code and create the mixing that had not happened
• r-9c2f74 d653153 — run the ablation arms as they stand | three nulls from comparing identical inputs read as "these guarantees do not matter"
• r-9c2f74 d653153 — keep the tasks that showed an effect and rewrite only the rest | the property is the criterion, not the direction of the result
• r-4a8e15 49e12c7 — make the parser accept a bare block | it would disagree with git, and delegating to git is the one thing SPEC section 2 requires
• r-6e1a72 5e09846 — leave the banner until release | it understates for weeks and readers leave rather than build from source
• r-6e1a72 5e09846 — update English only and translate later | the lag is itself a wrong answer for whoever reads the other three
• r-7e5f02 e5f5e00 — hold Node 20 and downgrade both dependencies | paying maintenance cost to keep supporting an unpatched runtime
• r-7e5f02 e5f5e00 — floor at 24 | excludes Node 22 users today for no benefit, and 22 outlives v0.1.0
• r-7e5f02 e5f5e00 — drop engines entirely | the failure moves from install time to runtime, where it is someone else's confusing bug
• r-5a8c04 c46a577 — regex trailer parsing | B3 prose false-positives are the failure mode this protocol exists to prevent
• r-5a8c04 c46a577 — a custom GitError subclass | the convention here is new Error with structured context, and callers read GitResult
• r-9d31b7 4ac6e30 — fix the values and move on | the same drift already happened once through a rename, and prose review did not catch it either time
• r-9d31b7 4ac6e30 — parse the README at runtime in the CLI | the check belongs in the conformance suite, not in shipped code
• r-c0f4e2 3d249cd — GitLore published as git-lore | the binary and search results still collide with the existing gitlore tool
• r-c0f4e2 3d249cd — keep Annals | the sound problem does not decay, and with code near zero this is the cheapest moment the project will ever have
• r-c0f4e2 3d249cd — rename code and spec first, documents later | the drift window makes every artifact written in it wrong
• r-b2e7f1 00d348d — line-matching Key: prefixes | prose containing a colon line parses as a record and feeds agents false context (verified B3)
• r-b2e7f1 00d348d — content-hash Record-Id | must survive rebase and squash, which a hash of the commit does not
• r-a8f3c1 ef48843 — keep name, change vocabulary only | vocabulary is the protocol, so half the change leaves the substance untouched
• r-a8f3c1 ef48843 — drop Certainty as a dead field | a real route exists -- stale sweep prioritizes guess-level records for review

Warnings (31)

• r-nobin284 ab2f08f (claim) — an extensionless COMMITLORE_BIN is now ignored rather than honoured -- the hook falls through to the recorded install and to PATH, so a caller who pointed it at the wrapper still gets a working hook, by a different route
• r-t1120nodeinst 14deeb4 (claim) — keep install.sh ASCII only -- a non-ASCII character in a string silently terminated /bin/sh here while sh -n accepted the file
• r-gateb3rev a2e38b9 (claim) — two files carry Security: commitlore.bin and COMMITLORE_BIN are executed, and the env path lacks the guard the config path has #71 install-root containment -- removing the binary arm must preserve that property for the wrapper case rather than delete the check with it
• r-hero172a bc0d971 (claim) — BM25 recall is 0/2 beyond zero distractors; do not state it is 1/2 throughout
• r-release030 510d70e (claim) — Tagging and publishing remain separate release steps.
• r-be140cost 8c01bd5 (claim) — do not restore a break-even figure without both measurements
• r-rel0200a a074754 (claim) — scripts/commitlore-bootstrap.sh is orphaned -- no hooks.json entry invokes it, and its npm-install strategy contradicts ADR-0011. It still carries a live version default, now bumped for consistency, but nothing exercises it. Worth a follow-up issue: either wire it up correctly or delete it.
• r-fix70a1 d707fc7 (claim) — add malicious and benign fixtures together when extending scanner patterns; false positives can make the defence unusable
• r-shallow66 60a8659 (claim) — shallow history remains advisory; query and guard exit-code semantics are unchanged
• r-det058 695cdf6 (claim) — guard precision is against the frozen archived labels, not a new hand-adjudication
• r-6f92c4 3cebb89 (claim) — with no numbers, the first-impression case now rests entirely on the test links. If M3-b also comes back null, this framing is what the project has
• r-2b58d4 4842356 (claim) — this leaves the README with no measured numbers at all until M3-b runs. That is the honest state and it is also a worse first impression. The alternative was publishing numbers produced by a binary nobody recorded
• r-6b83f2 4c1a503 (claim) — the second claim will become true when ADR-0012 lands and false again if the notes refspec story changes. A README sentence about distribution needs a test, and there is none — scripts/check-readme-numbers.mjs checks numbers
• 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-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-c53d19 110be8c (claim) — r-6f2a08's message says the clone gap closes with B-09 · Single static binary — remove the Node runtime dependency #39; it closes with T-706 · Bundle the CLI as a single file — run from a clone alone #38. The commit message is history and stays as written
• r-9c07e2 9c4d25a (claim) — hooks here must exit 0 on every path — a non-zero exit from a PreToolUse hook blocks the edit, and no record is worth that
• r-0d4b81 8005227 (claim) — claude mcp add commitlore -- commitlore mcp is Claude Code's syntax — other MCP clients register a stdio server their own way
• r-7f31c9 750ab17 (claim) — adding a file to README_SOURCES pools it into every aggregate in the block, including the significance test — check the arm names first
• r-9c2f74 d653153 (claim) — after the measurement, check that git status is clean and the recorded sha is still HEAD -- an edit mid-run breaks reproducibility silently, and that check is the only thing that catches it
• r-4a8e15 49e12c7 (claim) — canonical output is a block, not a message -- prepend a subject before parsing it back, or the round-trip silently returns nothing
• r-6e1a72 5e09846 (claim) — the moment v0.1.0 is published this banner is wrong again -- it names npx not working, which release makes false
• r-7e5f02 e5f5e00 (claim) — raising the floor again needs an ADR superseding ADR-0010 -- a package.json-only change will pass tests and lie to users
• r-7f0e39 76f3f2d (claim) — when retiring a command name, grep the bare word too, not just the prefixed form -- the prefix is what the substitution keyed on
• r-5a8c04 c46a577 (claim) — do not add --grep anywhere under src/ -- test/source-guards enforces its absence and will fail the build
• r-9d31b7 4ac6e30 (claim) — the four READMEs must keep the example block byte-identical -- translating the code block will fail spec/verify.sh
• r-c0f4e2 3d249cd (claim) — ADR-0008 and ADR-0009 keep the literal string Annals on purpose -- mechanical substitution there destroys the decision trail
• r-c0f4e2 3d249cd (claim) — the residual grep for lore_query reports a false positive because commitlore_query contains it as a substring, so check the prefix
• r-b2e7f1 00d348d (claim) — spec/fixtures and spec/contract-cases are the contract -- prose in SPEC.md explains them, it does not define them
• r-a8f3c1 ef48843 (claim) — docs/adr/ADR-0008 is the canonical vocabulary -- do not reintroduce old terms from memory

git log --follow accepts exactly one pathspec, so renames are not followed for 8 paths; query one path at a time to follow its rename chain
