Prose tightened section by section, blank lines after headings removed, the six classic Security subsections folded into one labelled list (Destructive tools & data loss kept as a heading), numbered lists collapsed, memory-registries and gitflow paragraphs re-flowed. Deliberately dropped: the release-candidate, audit-delta and init-project/onboard routing lines (name-obvious, BDR-031 criterion) and rationale clauses. Every ## heading verbatim; graphify section byte-identical so the pending feature branch merges clean. Words 2694 to 2302. BDR-098.
lib/graphify-gate.sh counts tracked code files (graphify's AST extension set, vendored trees excluded) and, from 200 with no graphify-out/graph.json, prints one banner-sized line; session-start shows it with the /graphify hint. Nothing is built, installed or updated: the rule is the user's (BDR-097), grounded in the LRN-162 measurements (AST build 2.3 s, 0 tokens, a query 2 to 3k tokens). Doctrine section and plugin-advisor thresholds follow the same rule; graphify claude install stays rejected. Test: 11 checks. GRAPHIFY_MIN_CODE_FILES overrides the threshold.
`gitflow_delete` now ends with `_gitflow_delete_remote`: after the local
copy is gone, the remote tip is read with `ls-remote --exit-code`, checked
against develop/main with the same ancestor test, and only then removed
with `push origin --delete`. Same contract as the pushes (BDR-095): best
effort, warn never fail. No origin, `GITFLOW_NO_PUSH=1` or
`gitflow.autopush false` skip it; an unreachable origin or a remote tip
holding commits the bases lack keeps the remote branch, loudly. A base is
never targeted, by construction and by an explicit guard.
The static deny on hand `git push --delete` stays: it matches the Bash
tool's command string, the lib is the sanctioned path. Prose (hard_deny,
environment), doctrine, gitflow SKILL (table, op, warning row),
SETTINGS.md and CHANGELOG updated. T24: 9 checks (finish removes the
copy, bases untouched, unmerged remote tip kept, never pushed silent,
unreachable origin loud, autopush opt-out). 161/163, the 2 failures are
the pre-existing T16a (gitleaks absent on this host).
Since BDR-095 `start` sets an auto-pushed upstream, so `git branch -d`
checked "merged into origin/<branch>" (always true, the post-commit hook
keeps it in sync) instead of "merged into develop". T22a proves it: an
unmerged feature with its upstream in sync is deleted by `-d` alone.
- `gitflow_delete` is the single delete path (finish + CLI `delete`):
refuses main/develop (rc 6) and any branch that is not an ancestor of
develop or main (rc 5, `gitflow_merged_into_base`, fail closed when
neither base exists), then `-d` as a second layer. CLI `merged`, `hooks`.
- Fourth generated hook `reference-transaction`: in the `prepared` call,
a deletion of refs/heads/main or refs/heads/develop exits 1, whatever
issued it (branch -d/-D, update-ref -d, rename, script, sub-agent).
`git config gitflow.protect false` opts a foreign clone out.
- `GITFLOW_HOOKS` is the one hook list: write/emit/reconcile, T19d and
doctor.sh (`gitflow.sh hooks`) read it. `.githooks/` and `githooks/`
regenerated with the fourth hook.
- settings.json: static deny on hand `git branch -d/--delete/-dr/-rd` and
on renames of main/develop; hard_deny "Branch deletion by hand"; the
Disarming entry covers all four hooks and `gitflow.*` config; the
protected-branches environment line states the rule.
- Doctrine (CLAUDE.global.md gitflow section), gitflow SKILL (`delete`
op, rc 5/6 rows, common mistake), guard-bash spec T8w flips to deny,
SETTINGS.md, README, CHANGELOG.
- Tests: T22 (12) lib guard incl. the premise proof, T23 (11) hook;
T19 covers the fourth hook. 152/154, the 2 failures are the
pre-existing T16a (gitleaks absent on this host).
Global: `make link` generates githooks/ from lib/gitflow.sh and sets git's
global core.hooksPath to ~/.claude/githooks, so every repo on the machine
runs the pre-commit protection and the post-commit / post-merge push, even
one that never ran gitflow init. A repo's own local core.hooksPath still
wins, so hooks/session-start.sh calls `gitflow reconcile-hooks` once per
session and rewrites a .githooks/ that lags the lib (LRN-114 automated);
the pre-commit exemption now covers .githooks/** next to .claude/**.
Per-repo opt-outs for a foreign clone: `git config gitflow.protect false`
(branch model) and `git config gitflow.autopush false` (push). Both, and
the GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL= / GIT_CONFIG= env bypass, are static deny rules.
`make test` and the two suites that commit on main export
GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL=/dev/null so the machine's global hooks never fire in
throwaway repos. doctor gains "Git hooks" (global setting, githooks/ equal
to the emitters) and "Scratchpad" (warn when TMPDIR sits on a tmpfs with
usrquota: systemd caps each user at 80% of it, which killed two shells
today, BLK-021). Tests: T18h, T19d, T20 (reconcile), T21 (whitelist and
protect opt-out); this repo's own stale .githooks/ refreshed.
Layer C of the plan written after the 2026-09-21 wipe (BDR-095): a reviewer
sub-agent traced `lftp mirror --delete` against a local file:// tree, the
prose tiers named neither lftp nor a local trace, the brief had authorized
it, and four days of commits had never left the machine.
- gitflow: `start` pushes the branch with its upstream, merge targets are
pushed after each merge, and `init`/`install-hook` write post-commit and
post-merge hooks that push every commit as it lands (warn, never block;
GITFLOW_NO_PUSH=1 for throwaway repos). T18 + T19 (installed == emitted).
- hooks/unpushed-guard.sh on SessionStart and Stop: branch ahead of its
upstream, no upstream, or no origin. Non-blocking systemMessage.
- settings.json: static deny for transfer and mirror tools, rsync --delete,
xargs rm, pipe-to-shell, chmod/chown -R, sudo/doas/pkexec, disk tools,
chattr, docker volume drops/prune/--privileged/socket/-v /:, git history
destruction, --no-verify and core.hooksPath; new hard_deny "destructive
tool against a local path, brief carries no user authority"; soft_deny
reworded + discarding uncommitted work; environment records the incident.
- CLAUDE.global.md "Destructive tools & data loss"; the four report-only
agents trace by reading, never by running, whatever the brief says.
- lib/tests/guard-bash.test.sh: executable spec of the PreToolUse guard
(214 cases). The hook itself is not shipped (BLK-022); the spec skips.
make plugin never installed impeccable. The 3.2.0 pin had rotted upstream
(the CLI fetches its skill dist at install time; that release's zip is
gone), the --scope=project staging moved the skill dir alone and dropped
the 4 impeccable-* subagents, and /impeccable init was never announced.
Step 8d now installs at --scope=global straight through the
~/.claude/{skills,agents} symlinks into the repo (both paths gitignored),
guards on those symlinks existing, keeps a profile-parked copy parked,
falls back to @latest on a pin failure with a bump-the-lock warning, and
prints the per-project init hint. update-all.sh mirrors the shape.
Found while probing: with a copy already installed a rotted pin exits 0
("Could not check for skill updates ... left unchanged"), byte-identical
on disk to an up-to-date rerun, so imp_install reads the installer output
instead of trusting the exit code. Harness 4/4 in a sandbox HOME with the
real installer.
plugins.lock.json: impeccable 3.2.0 -> 4.1.0 (CLI only). link.sh drops
impeccable from EXTERNAL_SKILLS. lib/design-gate.md section 5: suggest-only
/impeccable init check when a frontend project has no PRODUCT.md.
Upstream supersedes `@21st-dev/magic` with `@21st-dev/cli` (bin `21st`):
same endpoint, `21st login` in place of an API key, no MCP process loaded
into every session.
- install-plugins.sh Step 8.7: `npm i -g @21st-dev/cli` (pinned in
plugins.lock.json), staged `21st skills install`, TTY-only login offer,
pack disabled by default. update-all.sh 7.4 refreshes both.
- The documented `21st install-skill` cannot be used: the installer refuses
to follow a symlink on the target path and `~/.claude/skills` is one. The
install runs under a throwaway HOME and the result moves into
skills-external/21st-* (gitignored), symlinked on demand.
- toggle-external.sh manages `21st` as a pack (names globbed from
skills-external/21st-*, parked under plain names). `magic` is gone.
- The 5 design skills join design/web/web-full/full and MANAGED_EXTERNALS;
21st-registry and 21st-design-sync stay parked. MANAGED_MCPS is now empty
and profile.sh's dead magic branches are removed.
- Design gate: GATE-BLOCK gains `21st` (required-manual, magic's old slot)
and `21st-ui-build`; PATH repair extended to the npm global bin.
- settings.json: the 4 mcp__magic__* ask entries go; the outward-facing
21st verbs land in autoMode.soft_deny, the tier that holds under auto
mode (LRN-153).
- Docs: README, CLAUDE.global.md, design-gate.md, profile SKILL.md,
.env.example, .gitleaks.toml, link.sh. BDR-093, LRN-158.
Tests: profile-set-managed 17/17, make test green except 2 pre-existing
gitflow FAILs (gitleaks binary absent on this host), shellcheck clean.
Every checklist command is emitted on exactly one line, however long; a
legacy backslash continuation in the runbook is joined at instantiation,
and bootstrap / learn patches write runbook lines the same way. After the
checklist the hand-back carries a Post-deploy tests block derived from the
delta diff: by-hand checks tied to delta files plus Suggestions for gaps.
Cold-resume re-display and re-hand-back regenerate both.
RED/GREEN on a scratch runbook: 4/4 baseline runs reproduced the
continuation verbatim and printed no tests; 4/4 runs on the edited skill
joined it and printed the block in the recipe's shape.
The previous note said a fresh clone gets the skill back from `make
plugin` without naming the command, and I picked the wrong one when the
files actually went missing. There are two, and only one restores the
skill:
- `graphify install --platform claude` copies SKILL.md, references/
and .graphify_version. Touches nothing else. This is the recovery
command, verified: the skill came back at 0.9.61 and the four
guarded configs were byte-identical afterwards.
- `graphify claude install` writes the CLAUDE.md section and the
.claude/settings.json PreToolUse hooks, rewrites both of those
guarded configs (EVAL-020, reproduced today), and does NOT copy the
skill.
LRN-154 records why the files vanished in the first place. `git rm
--cached` keeps the working file, but `gitflow finish` checks out the
target branch, where it is still tracked, so git restores it and the
merge then deletes it from disk. .gitignore does not protect it; it only
stops a re-add. The file survives the commit and dies at the merge, which
reads as unrelated.
graphify: `graphify claude install` (install-plugins.sh STEP graphify)
writes SKILL.md, references/ and .graphify_version straight into the repo,
because ~/.claude/skills is a symlink to skills/. Every `pipx upgrade
graphifyy` therefore dirtied the tree and cost a `chore(graphify): sync
vendored skill X -> Y` commit. Now gitignored and untracked; a fresh clone
gets them back from `make plugin`. test-prompts.json is hand-written for
darwin and stays tracked. The accepted trade-off, documented in CLAUDE.md,
is that an upstream release can change the skill's prompt with no diff to
review.
settings.local.json (gitignored, so not in this commit) went from 14.6 KB
to 6.2 KB. It was a near-complete shadow copy of the global settings at a
higher precedence tier, which hid its own drift until the global moved.
Two entries were actively defeating BDR-090, merged an hour earlier:
- local `deny` still carried rsync / kill -9 / killall / pkill, the four
rules deliberately moved out of global deny. deny wins across sources,
so autoMode.soft_deny was a dead letter in this repo.
- local `allow` carried `sed *`, `cp *` and `python3 -`. An allow rule
short-circuits the classifier, punching a hole through the same
soft_deny rules.
deny and ask are dropped whole (102 and 27 of their entries duplicated the
global; ask gates nothing under defaultMode auto). allow went 185 -> 98:
81 duplicates plus six policy conflicts, the three above and
Read(//home/bchanot/**), WebSearch, and a leftover command-injection test
payload that had been allowlisted verbatim. Every non-permissions key was
a verbatim copy of the global, including a hooks block whose only original
entry pointed at hooks/config-protection.sh, a script that exists nowhere.
BDR-090 records why the ask tier was abandoned rather than repopulated,
the three alternatives rejected, and the deliberate caveat that the
guardrail hard_deny bars removing a deny entry but not adding one.
LRN-153 records the two traps the block carries: every autoMode list is
a full replacement without "$defaults", and a user-scope block reaches
every project on the machine.
TODO also logs F1-F3, found but not fixed: .claude/settings.local.json
is a 14.6 KB shadow copy of the global settings at higher precedence,
including a PreToolUse hook whose script does not exist.
