skills/reconcile/SKILL.md:53 claimed "20/20, shellcheck clean" but the
suite read .claude/memory/blockers.md live, so closing BLK-009
(d1e7423) turned T2b/T2c red for a correct reason unrelated to the
engine. Froze a post-BLK-009 snapshot (lib/tests/fixtures/
blockers-snapshot.md) and pointed T2 at it instead of the live file —
same approach the other T1/T3/T4 fixtures already use. Updated T2b/T2c
expectations to match (BLK-009 resolved, open = {001,003}). Suite is
back to 20/20 GREEN, shellcheck clean, matching the skill's own claim.
/reconcile confronts declarative sources (TODO checkboxes, registry
statuses, ## Index) against real git/fs state and surfaces the gaps,
in 4 categories + contradiction candidates.
- lib/reconcile.sh: engine — body-only enumeration (never the Index),
git/fs oracles, BLK last-block-wins status, lexical deferral sweep,
contradiction candidates, pure reconcile_verdict kernel.
- lib/tests/run-reconcile.sh + fixtures (neutral-named): 20/20;
recursive-coherence T1 reds if the engine reads the Index (teeth).
- skills/reconcile/SKILL.md: thin orchestration + A/B/C write-back gate,
honest limits (lexical deferrals, contradictions surfaced not asserted).
- CLAUDE.md: Skill routing line.
Founding principle: never trust a declarative source as an oracle — the
skill practices what it preaches (tested). Built via writing-skills TDD.
