The session-start line-count guard warned 'density pass requis' every session since
job1 without the 275 target (BDR-031) or even the 280 threshold ever being met —
CLAUDE.md sits at 305 (319→305 at job1, never re-inflated). A gate that never goes
green is noise. BDR-062 supersedes BDR-031's 275 TARGET only (principle kept, append-
only): 305 assumed final, guard warns past a 320 margin so real regressions still
surface. Review A6 (verifier-amended MINEUR).
BLK-016 (rtk PATH-dead) shipped resolved in 1.0.0 (2b4e7401) but neither the entry
NOR the fix reached develop — rtk was live-broken on develop. Fix ported in the
preceding commit (install-plugins.sh bridge), so this backfill marks it resolved
truthfully. Table row + section. Review A3.
EVAL-015 (/tour first real run, report-only bchanot-cv) shipped in 1.0.0 (74d3804),
never back-merged to develop (registry gap between EVAL-014 and EVAL-016). Section
backfill; links to now-present [[LRN-101]]. Review A3.
Session log for job8 (A/B/C/D execution, 3 Bash permission denials
worked around mid-C, smoke gate confirmed by user). TODO tracks the
2 open residuals: C/D single-pass re-audit next cycle, MAGIC_API_KEY
rotation still pending (job7 residual, unrelated to job8's own scope).
BDR-059 + LRN-110 + LRN-111. Confirmed A's ask-gate covers component_builder
(mcp__ scope) — no code fix possible or attempted, it's third-party package
code (dist/utils/callback-server.js:36). README MCP section now documents
the risk and why the mitigation is ask-gating, not patching.
BDR-058 + LRN-109. Root cause of the "referenced files absent" finding:
the skills CLI's skillPath only fetches SKILL.md, never sibling
references/scripts/templates dirs. Upstream HEAD matched the already-
recorded lockfile hash exactly (no drift, no tamper) — reinstalled the
full tree at that pinned SHA, detached HEAD so nothing can silently
advance. Reinstall happened outside this repo (~/.agents); this commit
is the only repo-side record. Backup of the old single-file dir kept.
BDR-057: secrets by reference not by value; redact at capture, not just at
rest. Documents the two-part job7 posture (MCP ${VAR} expansion + rtk-rewrite
env-dump redaction) and flags the unreconciled contradiction with job6's
same-day (wrong) finding that ${VAR} expansion was unsupported at user scope.
BDR-026 updated: the backup-vector incident (2026-07-02) is closed at the
source rather than by repeated scrubbing — every native auto-backup taken
while the live file held the plaintext value was a fresh leak, so scrubbing
existing backups alone would have recurred forever.
LRN-108: `claude mcp add --env KEY=value` writes the value literally —
double- vs single-quoting around `${VAR}` is the entire difference between
a reference and a plaintext-forever config. The natural way to type the
flag (bash-expand it first) is exactly the trap.
Also refreshed .audit/scan-secrets-claude-home.json to the post-purge state
(15 residual hits, down from 18 pre-D).
BDR-056: deps policy reversal — latest gated by integration, not
KEEP-PINNED by default (job6-batch-3 override, gstack #1911 case).
LRN-107: read-only subagent mandates must ban copying secret VALUES,
not just mutations (job6's own MAGIC_API_KEY scratch-copy incident).
EVAL-020: job6 execution quality — 2 real STOP gates hit and resolved
live (graphifyy hook rewrite declined, gsd-pi format break patched).
EVAL-019: job4 test-gap audit + execution summary (11 specs, 5 fixes/
seams, every mutation red-green verified, zero residual, /tmp-exhaustion
incident + recovery, SPEC-06 checkpoint honesty, J4-22 caller-census
flag).
LRN-106: fixing B1 in one file != closing the B1 pattern. job3-B1
froze a fixture + repointed run-reconcile.sh's T2 off the live
registry, declared unblocked, 20/20 green — job4's very next audit
pass found T3/T5 in the SAME FILE still reading the live registry,
same fragility, untouched siblings. Now actually closed (SPEC-10).
journal: 2026-07-06 (cont. 2) entry.
EVAL-018: job3 shipped, 46/46 findings verified, 20/23 fixes applied
(B1 blocked on sentinel scope, D2-D5+B6 skipped by decision), zero
residual on final re-sweep. LRN-105: explorer subagents need an
explicit ban on executing the subject-under-test's own CLI, not just
"read-only" framing (caught mid-run: a subagent ran `graphify .`).
BDR-038 recorded NEXT.sh file + AskUserQuestion hand-back as the /deploy
design; 52f6678 removed both (LRN-102: pre-tool-call text may never render)
with no superseding decision. BDR-054 regularizes it. One-line banners on
docs/plans/2026-06-27-deploy-skill.md and docs/specs/2026-06-27-deploy-skill-design.md
point to the shipped behavior; historical body left untouched.
