lib/verify-secure-loop.md: shared main-loop include. GATE 1 fresh verifier
(blind, contract from disk) → CONFORME straight to GATE 2, ECARTS loop max
3; GATE 2 fresh security-auditor (MODE gate) → PASS to commit, BLOCK loop
max 3 with re-verify-request-FIRST order invariant. Mute agent never a PASS.
feater.md: STEP 0.7 CONTRACT (proportional, silent on a clear feature) +
STEP 3 VERIFY+SECURE via the include. Nominal = one verifier + one security
dispatch; the loop only costs when it loops.
bugfixer.md: STEP 3.5 CONTRACT fed by the DIAGNOSIS (bug report verbatim +
reproduced-then-gone + regression test criteria) + STEP 5 fresh gates via
the include. Renumbered STEP 5 sub-steps (gates before the commit gate).
hotfixer.md: STEP 1.7 CONTRACT (silent autofill, zero questions) + STEP 3
security gate whose FAILURE REVERTS (git restore to pre-flight SHA + escalate
to /bugfix), never loops — the 1-attempt model preserved. No fresh verifier
at hotfix weight (the smoke-check verifies the trivial contract). Adds the
Agent tool to hotfixer.md + hotfix/SKILL.md for the security dispatch.
lib/tests/loops-light.test.sh: 27 structure locks green, shellcheck clean.
Behavioral pipeline dogfood on a fixture (feat adding a feature WITH a SQLi):
GATE1 CONFORME (feature present, SQLi not a conformity gap — orthogonal
gates) → GATE2 BLOCK(1) (checklist caught the %-interp SQLi semgrep's taint
rules missed) → [fix to parameterized] → re-verify CONFORME (order invariant,
feature intact) → re-scan PASS. Loop converges to green.

agents/security-auditor.md: fresh read-only-on-code SAST gate. Pinned
rulesets p/security-audit + p/secrets + p/owasp-top-ten (owasp REQUIRED —
measured: the 2-ruleset baseline misses SQLi + path-traversal entirely on
realistic Flask code), never --config auto, never auto login (BDR-048).
Severity map: secrets ERROR → CRITICAL, other ERROR → HIGH (block),
WARNING/INFO → reported. gate mode (diff, no Write) vs audit mode (Write
only to REPORT, rule-locked). DEGRADED (semgrep absent) still runs the
checklist and still blocks — never a vacuous pass (LRN-048). Anti-gaming:
a new un-gated nosemgrep suppression is BLOCKING. PROOF mandatory, mute
auditor never a PASS, blind (no iteration history), blocks HIGH/CRITICAL
only (LRN-047).
Grafts: onboard STEP 6 L3a dispatches it in audit mode (report
.onboard-audit/semgrep.md) in BOTH gstack branches — complement to cso
(cso is a gstack submodule, unmodifiable); synthesis picks it up via the
existing .onboard-audit/ sweep. audit-delta security axis runs the SAST
pass first, folds findings into the existing gate/fix/re-verify flow.
lib/tests/security-auditor.test.sh: 28 structure locks green, shellcheck
clean. Behavioral dogfood (fresh agents on a planted fixture):
BLOCK(9) on the vuln commit (2 secrets→CRITICAL, semgrep+checklist
complementarity — checklist caught the 6 semgrep missed off-context);
BLOCK(1) on a new nosemgrep suppression (understood semgrep's 0 was the
mask); DEGRADED → BLOCK(7) on grep-detectable secrets with semgrep hidden.
FP measured on real repos (faunosteo, game): owasp adds only hygiene
findings, contained by diff-scoping.

lib/contract-interview.md: mandatory upstream passage for all orchestrators.
Verbatim REQUEST (immutable), proportional questions (complete request =
zero, max 3 one batch), testable criteria + file scope, written to disk
immediately (.claude/tasks/contracts/<date>-<slug>-<HHMM>.md — a context-only
contract dies at compaction). Lifecycle: enrichment only at human gates
([gated] marker, scope micro-gate), supersedes for re-scope, aborted runs
deleted or committed status:aborted — never left dirty. Hand-off = path,
not restatement.
agents/verifier.md: fresh read-only verifier. Reads the contract from disk,
renders VERIFY — VERDICT: CONFORME | ECARTS(n) | ERROR. Blind: never
receives iteration history. PROOF line mandatory (LRN-048), UNVERIFIABLE
never MET, mute verifier never a PASS (retry once fresh, 2nd structural
failure = human escalation). Orchestrator protocol documented in-file
(max 3 iterations, re-verify request before security).
lib/tests/contract-verifier.test.sh: 31 deterministic structure locks on
the load-bearing doctrine clauses — green, shellcheck clean.
Behavioral dogfood (2 fresh subagents on a planted fixture): gap case →
ECARTS(2) exactly as planted (NOT-MET located + out-of-scope flagged);
conform case with injected fake iteration history → CONFORME, noise
ignored, real python spot-check as evidence. Both outputs parse-clean.

The 07-02 tightening left bare tokens common in non-UI talk (design, component, theme, transition, frontend, palette) -> ~6 false-fires/session during the ECC config audit. Dropped them; dashboard now word-boundary matched (kills the ecc_dashboard.py filename match, keeps 'admin dashboard'); kept animation; added 'front-end design' bigram. Each fire now logs time+token+excerpt to a light file so 're-firing?' is measured, not argued. Regression test 18/18, shellcheck clean.

Blocks Edit/Write to guardrails (settings.json + .claude/settings*, lib/gitflow.sh, .githooks/*, doctor.sh, hooks/*.sh self-guard, lib/tests/*, lint) so a gate can't be weakened to pass an error. Bypass = one-shot sentinel .claude/.config-edit-ok (non-empty reason, logged+consumed), not an env-var. Adaptation from the ECC second-look (BDR-047 corrob): own bash idiom, not ECC's Node dispatcher. shellcheck clean, test 20/20.

$MEM/../skills resolved to .claude/skills/ (the LRN-042 parasite, removed
2026-06-30 by make plugin Step 8.5), not the real skills/. Green at build
time only because the parasite still existed — green-for-wrong-reason
(LRN-077 class); red ever since. Suite back to 20/20.

/release-candidate cuts a release by orchestrating the existing gitflow
release mechanic (start from develop; finish fan-out main+develop+delete)
and adding the one piece the lib lacks: the version tag.
- skills/release-candidate/SKILL.md: thin orchestrator — preconditions →
gitflow start release → prep (version.txt + CHANGELOG, breaking doc'd) →
run-tests gate → human WHEN-to-release gate → gitflow finish → git tag -a
vX.Y.Z (in the skill, lib untouched) → push (gated).
- lib/tests/run-release-candidate.sh: throwaway-repo flow replay. RC_TAG=0
reds the tag (gitflow fans out but never tags); RC_TAG=1 → 5/5.
- CLAUDE.md: Skill routing line. CHANGELOG [Unreleased]: /reconcile +
/release-candidate under Added (so the eventual v4.0.0 captures them).
Tag scheme vX.Y.Z continues the version.txt/CHANGELOG lineage. writing-skills TDD.

/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.

(1) lib/doc-shape.sh — deterministic shape oracle re-checks each LLM-classified
MINOR patch before the silent auto-commit; a shape-suspect patch (added heading
/ oversize / new file / non-doc) escalates to the EXISTING SIGNIFICANT gate.
Genuine MINOR still auto-commits (zero friction, BDR-036 preserved). A structural
floor under the LLM call, not a semantic SIGNIFICANT-detector (BDR-040).
(2) lib/doc-commit.sh — guard the commit itself: a rejected git commit (pre-commit
hook / protected branch / signing) now fails loud with exit 5 + empty stdout,
instead of a false "committed" + the previous HEAD's hash + exit 0 that left docs
silently uncommitted (LRN-071, 3rd occurrence of the swallowed-commit pattern
after LRN-066 and LRN-068/BLK-012).
Wired doc-syncer STEP A4 (whole-set escalation: no=revert all, select=keep subset)
+ doc-commit.md (rc-5 consumer row + ACKNOWLEDGMENTS coherence).
TDD RED->GREEN: run-doc-commit.sh 32/32, run-doc-shape.sh 19/19, behavioral C/D.
shellcheck clean. Branch-guard (3) deferred.

lib/tests/run-doc-behavioral.md — in-vivo whole-chain check (twin of run-behavioral.md for memory). Scenario A: doc-syncer patches a public doc, the include commits it surgically with dangling code present (coupled + surgical). Scenario B: a forbidden .claude/ path in PATCHED_FILES → helper refuses (rc 4), nothing half-committed, offender named (fail-closed + loud). Complements the 28-assertion deterministic suite (run-doc-commit.sh).

doc-syncer now emits PATCHED_FILES — every public-doc file created/modified this run, ONE PATH PER LINE — in both STEP 9 OUTPUT (full audit) and AUTO MODE STEP A4 (the path orchestrators call). NONE stays silent (no line → doc-commit sees empty → no-ops). Additive: detection/patching logic and the `auto-mode scope:` input contract are unchanged → callers unaffected.
Separator contract, producer↔consumer aligned + proven: newline is doc-syncer's OUTPUT format (paths carry no newlines); the agent splits on newline and passes EACH path as a SEPARATE argv element to lib/doc-commit.sh. The helper takes argv (no in-band separator) → a path with spaces survives as one argument. lib/doc-commit.md spells this out (never flatten to a space-joined string + re-split, which would mis-split a spaced path the helper then silently drops). New test T7 PROVES it on real git: 'docs/My Guide.md' → committed as one file (28/28, shellcheck clean).

commit_memory now routes diagnostics to stderr and prints ONLY the memory-commit
short hash to stdout, so the capitalize-commit include can report it. Proven:
- T6: commit→hash (matches independent rev-parse), no-op→empty, unsafe→empty+exit3.
- T7: double run creates exactly one commit (real run, not by construction).

Foundation for the coupled-capitalize invariant (Frame 2): commit ONLY
.claude/memory + .claude/tasks, never `git add -A`. Safety lives in the
pathspec because automation removes the human diff review.
Proven on real git behavior, not assumed:
- T1/T2: dangling code (untracked or pre-staged) never embarked.
- T2-bis: `git commit -- pathspec` takes the working tree, not a stale index.
- T3 idempotent, T4 fail-closed on broken state, T5 TODO.md in scope.
_changed_paths filters to paths with real changes: `git commit -- pathspec`
aborts the whole commit on a no-match pathspec (e.g. empty .claude/tasks),
unlike `git add` which tolerates it.
