Summary

Arm 0 of the docstring-coverage cure. Adds .githooks/docstring-scan.sh, the estate's single docstring predicate, plus its fixture suite scripts/tests/docstring-scan-test.sh.

  • Modes: --worktree (for the Stop hook), --staged (pre-commit) and --range BASE..HEAD (CI and calibration).
  • --check: exits 1 only when a newly-added function has no docstring. An undocumented function that already existed and was only edited is reported but does not block.
  • Output: one TSV row per touched function, then a SUMMARY line that always prints the denominator.
  • Scope: tier 1 is shell. Any other source file is reported as skipped, never as documented.

Why

CodeRabbit's "Docstring Coverage" warning keeps firing across the estate. Shell is the language it has been proven to parse, and the shell baseline is 0.00%. Two consumers still to come will both call this scanner: the Claude Stop hook and a .githooks validator.

Verification

  • bash scripts/tests/docstring-scan-test.sh passes 30/30.
  • It calibrates against a known answer, PR feat(rulesets): base protection floor applier, branch + tag #1034 at 1cc72cdc80c9: 2 files, 13 functions, 0.00% coverage, 3 skipped. self-test.yml already checks out with fetch-depth: 0, so that commit is reachable in CI.
  • These mutants were each killed:
    • a shellcheck directive counted as a docstring;
    • a heredoc body treated as code;
    • untracked files dropped;
    • a trailing comment counted as a docstring;
    • a deleted fixture docstring, which fails exactly one assertion.

Adds .githooks/docstring-scan.sh. It asks the same question as CodeRabbit's
"Docstring Coverage" check: of the functions a change touches, how many
carry a docstring? It answers per function with added/modified provenance,
and in --check mode it blocks only on a newly-added undocumented function.
The Stop hook, the pre-commit validator and the CI backstop all consume it.

Tier 1 is shell. Every other source file reports as SKIPPED, never as
documented, and the SUMMARY line always prints its denominator.

scripts/tests/docstring-scan-test.sh (30 assertions) calibrates against
PR #1034 at 1cc72cd (2 files / 13 functions / 0.00% / 3 skipped). If
that commit is absent, the calibration fails rather than skipping. The
suite also covers:
- a planted positive and a negative control;
- added vs modified;
- predicate edges (trailing comment, shellcheck directive, heredoc body);
- --staged/--worktree parity;
- paths containing spaces or non-ASCII characters.

These mutants were each killed: a shellcheck directive counted as a
docstring, a heredoc body treated as code, untracked files dropped, a
trailing comment counted as a docstring, and a deleted fixture docstring.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a documentation check for changed shell functions. It identifies whether functions are new or modified and whether they have documentation, and reports coverage and skipped files.
    • The check can flag newly added functions without documentation and provides clear error results for invalid input or repository state.

Walkthrough

Adds a Bash scanner for changed shell functions in worktree, staged, and commit-range changes. It reports function documentation status and counts, and can fail when a newly added function lacks documentation. A standalone test script exercises scanner behaviour and error cases.

Changes

Shell docstring scanning

Layer / File(s) Summary
Select and classify changed files
.githooks/docstring-scan.sh
Adds worktree, staged, and commit-range modes, changed-file retrieval, changed-line detection, and file classification.
Detect and document functions
.githooks/docstring-scan.sh
Recognises two shell function declaration forms, tracks function spans, skips heredoc bodies, and classifies documentation while excluding specified comment types.
Report results and validate modes
.githooks/docstring-scan.sh, scripts/tests/docstring-scan-test.sh
Reports changed functions and documentation counts, applies --check to newly added undocumented functions, and adds fixture tests for scanning, modes, paths, and errors.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Extensionless shell scripts are skipped in --staged and --range modes.

The shebang check runs only when MODE is worktree. It also reads the worktree file, not the new content for the active mode. For example, a staged .githooks/pre-commit with #!/usr/bin/env bash is classified as other and reported as skipped. The pre-commit gate and the CI gate then miss new undocumented functions in hook files. The --worktree report for the same change classifies the file as shell. This breaks the staged/worktree parity that the PR claims.

Read the first line with new_content for every mode.

Resolve SCANNER to an absolute path before changing directory.

With SCANNER=.githooks/docstring-scan.sh, the existence check passes when the suite starts at the repository root. After newrepo changes directory, scan looks for that relative path inside the fixture repository. The scanner cannot run, so the fixture assertions fail.

Resolve the override to an absolute path before the first directory change.

Clear inherited Git environment variables before running Git.

If a caller exports GIT_DIR for another repository, git init uses that directory instead of creating the fixture's .git. The subsequent git config commands can then change the caller's repository configuration. Changing directory does not remove this override. (git-scm.com)

Clear repository-local Git environment variables at startup, before calibration and fixture setup.

Based on learnings: scripts that invoke Git must clear inherited repository-local Git environment variables.

The calibration commit 1cc72cd is PR #1034's pre-squash head. It
lives only under refs/pull/1034/head, so no clone of main contains it
and Self Test has been red on main since #1073. Fetch it by full SHA

Closes #1099

hyperpolymath added a commit that referenced this pull request Sep 30, 2026
…uuid-v7, map roots, canon 2.1.2, docstring calibration (#1088)

Restores `standards` main to green. The reds on main and on this PR hold
each other in a cycle, so every cure is in this one PR: under the
fully-green rule, no smaller PR can pass CI alone.

## What each commit fixes

1. **Lock-gate staging pin bump.** The `ref:` under "Checkout standards
for the lock gate" in `governance-reusable.yml` moves to `5f82b635`.
`scripts/check-lock-gate-pin-freshness.sh` returns rc=1 on main and rc=0
on this branch. Each tree's own copy of the script was run; running one
tree's copy against another tree reads the wrong workflow and passes
vacuously.
2. **Registry `source_hash` regeneration** (#1092). #1072 and #1075
changed files under the RSR spec home without regenerating
`.machine_readable/REGISTRY.a2ml`, so `build-registry.sh --check` fails.
That failure reds Self-tests, and the pin guard step never runs because
it comes after the failing suite. The change is one regenerated hash
line. Under D231 it is a regeneration only; migrating off the generated
file is a later piece of work.
3. **`uuid-v7.yml` hardening.** It adds `timeout-minutes: 10`, a
`concurrency` group, and a `push` trigger bounded to `main`. These are
the three unfiltered Hypatia Baseline findings on main:
missing_timeout_minutes, d_burn_double_trigger, and WH006.
4. **Delete the five unmapped root entries** (D241, cherry-picked and
signed from #1097). This cures the map-integrity red that woke on this
PR.
5. **Canon PATCH 2.1.1 → 2.1.2.** #1041 added a KNOWN-TENSIONS row under
`0-canon/constitution/` without the same-commit bump and sha256 rewrite
that `canon.lock` requires. Gate A is path-filtered, so main never ran
it and the drift stayed invisible until this PR woke the gate. This
commit bumps the version, sets released to 2026-09-30 and the tag to
`canon-v2.1.2`, rewrites the constitution hash to `be48496f…`, and adds
a header note. The spine's dogfood red was a stale hypatia compile
error, fixed upstream at 9d2e6de3. Re-running rsr-template-repo run
36475038466 turned it green.

6. **Fetch the docstring calibration commit by SHA** (#1099). #1073's
`docstring-scan-test.sh` calibrates against `1cc72cdc80c9`, PR #1034's
pre-squash head, which no clone of main can contain. Self Test on main
(run 36741131926) failed on this as well as the stale registry. I read
only the first failure, so my earlier claim that this PR cured every
main red was wrong. The test now fetches the commit by full SHA on a
miss, without `--depth` (which would make a complete clone shallow), and
still fails closed if the fetch fails. The branch was rebased onto main
74d2f66 (signed) so the test file is present.

## What

Adds **leg B** to the canonical docstring scanner
`.githooks/docstring-scan.sh` (#1073):

- **Leg B**: documented / (documented + undocumented) over **all
touched** (added + modified) functions, skipped files excluded, below
`DOCSTRING_THRESHOLD` (default **80**) is a violation. This is the ratio
CodeRabbit's Docstring Coverage check reports.
- **Phase-in**: a self-flipping date gate with the same shape as
`scripts/check-docs-presence.sh` (`valid_date`/`require_date`, plus a
`DOCS_TODAY` seam). `ENFORCE_DOCSTRINGS_FROM` defaults to **2026-11-01**
(owner ruling 2026-10-01). Before the cutoff, a leg-B violation under
`--check` prints a `WARN leg B` line on stderr and leaves the exit code
unchanged. From the cutoff date onward, `--check` exits 1.
- **Leg A is unchanged**: an added undocumented function still makes
`--check` exit 1.
- **Zero touched functions** gives `legb=n/a`, and under `--check` the
scanner says so on stderr. A vacuous ratio counts as neither a pass nor
a fail.
- **Fail loud**: a malformed `ENFORCE_DOCSTRINGS_FROM` or `DOCS_TODAY`,
or a `DOCSTRING_THRESHOLD` that is not an integer 0-100, exits **2** in
every mode. A bad value cannot silently disarm the gate.
- **Integer verdict**: the check is `d*100 < T*n`, so exactly 80% passes
and 79.17% fails.
- **SUMMARY** gains `threshold=T legb=pass|fail|n/a`, appended at the
end only. The one consumer I found is the `~/.claude` docstring Stop
hook. It drops the SUMMARY line, reads only `added`/`undocumented` TSV
rows, and runs **without** `--check`, so this PR changes nothing for it.
Nothing in this repo parses SUMMARY apart from the test suite.

## Tests (`scripts/tests/docstring-scan-test.sh`): 72 passed, 0 failed
locally. The full `run-shell-test-suite.sh` passed all 63 files.

- The existing leg-A assertions now run with leg B disarmed
(`DOCSTRING_THRESHOLD=0`). Without that, "editing an undocumented legacy
body does not block" would flip red on 2026-11-01.
- New fixtures cover:
  - before the cutoff: WARN and rc 0
  - on the cutoff date and after it: rc 1
  - `ENFORCE_DOCSTRINGS_FROM` override
  - no `--check`: rc 0
  - exactly 80% passes; 79.17% fails
  - zero touched: no verdict, rc 0
- skipped files in both directions: 3/4 fails beside a skipped file,
which would read 4/5 if skipped counted as documented; 4/5 passes beside
a skipped file, which would read 4/6 if skipped counted as undocumented
  - malformed dates and thresholds: rc 2
- **Known-answer calibration controls.** Each one fetches commits by
full SHA into a throwaway repo, and an unfetchable commit counts as a
FAILURE ("a skip is not a pass"). Both match CodeRabbit's verdict at the
head it reviewed:
- `hyperpolymath/panll` `964f9563..61141fb3` gives **2 documented of
22**, legb=fail.
- `hyperpolymath/nextgen-databases` `fc12a2eb..e12e4c71` gives **2
documented of 22**, legb=fail.
- Leg A also fires on both ranges (9 added undocumented each), so these
controls assert SUMMARY fields, not exit codes.

## Mutants (run through the `SCANNER=` seam; each passed `bash -n` and
differed from the original under `cmp`)

| Mutant | Reds |
|---|---|
| ratio `-lt` → `-le` | 4: the two exactly-80% fixtures (each asserts
verdict and rc) |
| date compare `<` → `>` | 6: before-cutoff rc0 and WARN, after-cutoff,
ENFORCE override, 79.17% rc, skipped rc |
| skipped counted as undocumented in the denominator | 2: 4/5 passes
beside a skipped file (verdict and rc) |
| skipped counted as documented | 2: 3/4 fails beside a skipped file
(verdict and rc) |

A planted bad calibration SHA reds the control as `commits present …
absent`. shellcheck is clean, and both files stay 0755.
