macOS ships bash 3.2 as /bin/bash, which `#!/usr/bin/env bash` resolves to
when no newer bash is on PATH. Two builtins the repo relies on do not exist
there, and both failed SILENTLY:
- `mapfile` in the three surgical-commit helpers left every array empty, so
the scope guards passed on nothing (fail-OPEN) and the commits degraded to
"nothing pending — no-op" while reporting success. deploy-commit.test.sh
went 4/16; memory and doc commits simply never happened.
- `declare -A` in the session-start hook errored on every session and left
each plugin cost at 0, so the passive-budget warning could never fire.
`_read_lines_into` is the portable equivalent of `mapfile`, space-safe and
resetting its target first — expanding a never-assigned array trips `set -u`
on bash < 4.4, which is how the empty arrays surfaced as "unbound variable".
Plugin costs move to a `case`.
source-scope.sh's header prescribed `mapfile` to its callers; it now shows
the read loop, and its own test plus run-reconcile.sh stop using the builtin.
deploy-commit 16/16, source-scope 34/34, run-reconcile 25 GREEN / 0 RED,
session-start stderr empty.
(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.
