shape-doctor.py and validate-pins.py: a gitlink that is not its pin is offered both repairs, bump-leg.py --to the gitlink's commit to keep the move and --to the pin's to undo it, so a gitlink committed by hand no longer ends at a gate t (#478) - #495

… writes its pin file as the scaffold does, so an adopted root passes `validate-pins.py` (#273); a `--pin-source` that cannot answer is `pin-source-unreadable` (#339) (#508)

**Brought up to date after #409 squash-landed** by merging origin/main (9736424, #409's squash) as f9ed46f. Its `scaffold-project.py` conflict was resolved to this branch's side once `git diff b70a07d 9736424 -- scaffold-project.py` (#409's final head against its squash) came out empty. So the file is the one tested on this branch plus main's own later changes to it, and holds nothing of #409's; details below.

This branch carries #275's adopt half. It was built on `fix/pin-source-env-collisions`, PR #409 (#275's scaffold half and its fix round), merged at 6494714 as 583f647, over the earlier 5690235 (34dbd86). After 6494714, #409 only merged main, five times, up to its final head b70a07d, and none of those merges has a hand edit (`git show --remerge-diff` is empty for each). Adopt's refusal of two products that share a source variable goes through #409's function, so this branch lands after #409. It was never rebased.

`git diff b70a07d 9736424` is empty for each file #409 touched: `scaffold-project.py`, `scripts/repo_shape.py`, `templates/assembly-root/scripts/validate-pins.py` and `tests/test_pin_source_env_collisions.py`. What f9ed46f resolves, four files with one hunk each:
- **`scaffold-project.py`.**
  - The conflict hunk is main's block from `PIN_COLLISION_REMEDIATION` through `_pin_collision_remediation`, which #409's squash edits: it adds `PIN_VARIABLE_REMEDIATION`, `_colliding_pin_variables` and `_pin_collision_remediation` and changes `_refuse_colliding_pins`. This branch moved all of that to `scripts/shape_materialize.py`. The hunk takes this branch's side. (The merge commit's message says "re-adds"; this is the exact account.)
  - #409's auto-merged import of `PIN_SOURCE_ENV_PREFIX, pin_source_env_collisions` is dropped, because nothing in the file uses either name any more.
  - It is not `git checkout --ours` of the whole file. Main changed the file beyond #409 since this branch last merged it: #355's `--tracking-branch` check (6c2a371) and a73b4e9's `RULESET_HINT`. Those lines stay.
  - The result is the file `git merge-tree` gives for this branch with main before the squash (518010b). Its diff from the file tested here has the same patch-id as main's own 3ef059c..518010b change to it.
- **`templates/assembly-root/scripts/validate-pins.py`.** Main's side, which is #409's final blob, with main's #359 workflow reader in it. This branch had no change of its own to the file beyond #409.
- **`adopt-project.py`, `_commit_the_split`.**
  - Main: #445 wraps the function in its late-failure `try`, and #394 builds an `append` with the plan's submodule record.
  - This branch: its only edits there were a comment and `neutral_pins=_recorded_pins(plan)` on the materializer call.
  - Both now sit on main's call inside the `try`: `append=append, neutral_pins=_recorded_pins(plan)`.
- **`docs/cli.md`.** It is regenerated with `scripts/render-cli-reference.py`, and `--check` is ok. It differs from main's only in the `--pin`, `--pin-owner` and `--pin-source` help of `adopt-project.py plan`.

`scripts/repo_shape.py`, `templates/assembly-root/scripts/validate-pins.py` and `tests/test_pin_source_env_collisions.py` are main's blobs, which are #409's: this branch adds nothing to them. Nothing of #409 is lost. Its scaffold behaviour is `shape_materialize.refuse_colliding_pins` and `pin_variable_collisions`, keyed by #409's `pin_product_key`.

**73d65c6, after the merge.**
- **The change.** `_read_pins` reads `plan.get("pins")` where it read `plan.data.get("pins")`.
- **Why.** #445's `tests/test_adopt_late_failure.py` hands `_commit_the_split` a `SplitPlan` as its plan, a `dict` that adds `entries`. On f9ed46f, three of its tests stopped at "committing the split" with `AttributeError: 'SplitPlan' object has no attribute 'data'` (3 failed, 83 passed in that file).
- **Nothing else changes.** `Plan.get` with no default returns `plan.data.get(key)` exactly, so a loaded plan reads as before.

`adopt-project.py plan --pin` took a NAME only (`--pin openGlass`) and refused a trailing `@<commit>`. `plan`, `check` and `execute` each exited 0, and `execute` printed `adoption verified`. The manifest then listed the name in `neutral_product_pins:` with no `contracts/<product>-pin.yaml` beside it, and on its first run the adopted root's own `validate-pins.py` refused it as `neutral-pin-missing`.

#273's table, reproduced on c7c02fa with the issue's own commands (local bare remotes, and a stub `gh` that exits 97):

| `--pin` | c7c02fa | this branch |
|---|---|---|
| `openGlass` | `execute` exit 0, `- openGlass`; clone's `validate-pins.py` exit 2 `neutral-pin-missing` | `plan` exit 2 `pin-malformed`, with the scaffold's remediation (`--pin openGlass@<40 hex>`); no plan is written |
| `opensoft/openGlass` | exit 0, `- opensoft/openGlass`; exit 2 `neutral-pin-missing` for `contracts/opensoft/openglass-pin.yaml` | `plan` exit 2 `pin-malformed` |
| `spec` | exit 0; `validate-pins.py` exit 0, reading the leg's `contracts/spec-pin.yaml` as the neutral pin | `spec@<sha>` is `adopt-pin-collides` at `plan` |
| `shape` | exit 0; `contracts/shape-pin.yaml` read as the neutral pin | `shape@<sha>` is `adopt-pin-collides` at `plan` |
| `openGlass@<sha>`, `opensoft/openGlass@<sha>` | `plan` exit 2 `adopt-pin-malformed` | `plan`, `check` and `execute` exit 0, and `gh` is called 0 times. `contracts/openglass-pin.yaml` is written and the manifest lists `- openGlass`. In the clone, `validate-manifest.py` exits 0, and `validate-pins.py` exits 0 with `openGlass: pin commit … digest recomputes` |

Brett ruled for decision 1's first option ("go with your recommendation on #273"): adopt takes the scaffold's pin and writes the scaffold's pin file. That reverses the NAME-only `--pin` from #6, and the comment that described it is replaced with the new contract.

- **One implementation.** The scaffold's pin code moved into `scripts/shape_materialize.py`, next to `neutral_pin_path` and the materializer that writes the file. What moved:
  - `PIN_ARG_RE`, `parse_pin`, `pin_digest_from_source` and `pin_digest_from_gh`;
  - `declared_pin_values`, `declared_pin_products` and `PIN_COLLISION_REMEDIATION` (in #309's wording);
  - from #275's branch, `PIN_VARIABLE_REMEDIATION` and the variable check;
  - `_refuse_colliding_pins`, split into the pure `pin_collisions` and `pin_variable_collisions`, and `refuse_colliding_pins(refusal=...)`, which raises one refusal for both.

  The code did not move verbatim. `_refuse_colliding_pins` became the three functions above; `pin_digest_from_source` was rewritten for #339 (below); and fix round 1 changed three of them (below): `pin_variable_collisions` keys each pin by #275's `pin_product_key`, `pin_digest_from_source` spells a path that is not printable, and `pin_digest_from_gh` refuses a missing `gh`. The scaffold's behaviour is otherwise unchanged. `scaffold-project.py` imports what it calls under its old names. Lane 5's review ran 34 scaffold cases (every pin refusal, the `gh` stub's four modes, dry and real successes) on 34dbd86 and on this branch at 7a94b6b. rc, stdout, stderr, the `gh` log and the files made were identical, apart from the shape's own commit and digest and #339's row. Its pin tests and #275's pass as they are. `tests/test_git_output_decoding.py`'s exemption for `pin_digest_from_gh` follows the function to its new file.
- **`plan`.** `--pin`, `--pin-owner` and `--pin-source` mean what they mean for the scaffold. `plan` reads the digest from `--pin-source` or `gh api`, and records product, repository, commit, digest and `digest_source` in the plan, so `check` and `execute` read no network for a pin. `plan` refuses:
  - a name with no `@<commit>`, as `pin-malformed`. That includes an empty `--pin ''`, which adopt used to drop and now refuses, as the scaffold always has;
  - `spec`, `code` and `shape`, in any case, as `adopt-pin-collides` (#273 decision 4), in the scaffold's sentence and remediation (#241, #309);
  - one product given twice, the same way, whether it is a repeat or two names that share one file (decision 5);
  - two products that one `SHAPE_PIN_SOURCE_<PRODUCT>` names, such as `open-glass` and `open_glass`, the same way, through #275's check;
  - a leg path over a pin's file, as `adopt-leg-path-collides`;
  - a `--pin-source` path that `check` would refuse in `digest_source:` (fix round 1), as `adopt-unwritable-value`. It is asked only when a `--pin` records the path;
  - with no `gh` on PATH and no `--pin-source`, `gh-not-found` (fix round 1).
- **`check` and `execute`.** These are new `check` findings, and `execute` refuses each one before any leg exists. They come from `_leg_findings`, the list `check` and `_refuse_what_check_finds` share:
  - `plan-pin-unrecorded`: a name alone (an old plan's `pins: [openGlass]`, or a hand edit), or an entry missing its commit or digest;
  - `plan-pin-malformed`;
  - `plan-pin-collides`, which covers two pins at one file, a pin at a file the shape writes, and two products that share one source variable;
  - `plan-root-holds-pin`: a source path kept in the root at the pin's file. The materializer would write the shape's pin beside it under `shape/`, and `validate-pins.py` would read the source's file instead.

  How each finding ends:
  - `plan-pin-unrecorded` and `plan-pin-malformed` end with the `plan --pin <product>@<40 hex commit>` that records the pin whole.
  - `plan-pin-collides` ends with re-running `plan` with each product once, or, for two products that share a source variable, with one product of each such group.
  - `plan-root-holds-pin` ends with the kept path's own remedy: send that entry to a leg, `drop` it, or rename it in the source and re-run `plan`.

  A leg moved over a pin's file in the plan is `plan-leg-path-collides`.
- **Also part of #386: its `pins:` row.** A hand-edited `pins:` that is not a list (a name such as `pins: openGlass`, a number, a mapping, a quoted string) is now `plan-pin-malformed` in `check` (`` `pins:` is 'openGlass', not a list of pins ``), and `execute` refuses it before any leg exists.
  - Where: `_read_pins` in `adopt-project.py`; the test row is `plan-pin-malformed-not-a-list` in `tests/test_adopt_pins.py`.
  - Before: on main, `check` said `plan ok` for the name, the mapping and the string, and gave a traceback for the number (reproduced by lane 5's review on cb7063f). #386 records that `execute` then wrote the name as eight one-letter pins.
  - Not fixed here: #386's other keys, `allow_empty_legs:`, `paths:`, `legs:` and `source:`, so #386 stays open. Lane 2's #435 takes all of #386, `pins:` included, and its `pins:` rule keeps only text items where this branch writes mappings; whichever lands second reconciles them (#435 (comment), and "Where the meaning meets" below).
- **`execute`.** It writes each pin through `materialize_assembly_root(neutral_pins=...)`. The manifest lists the product with the owner stripped (decision 3), so the entry and the file agree.
- **Docs.** `--help` is updated and `docs/cli.md` regenerated (`render-cli-reference.py --check` ok).

`pin_digest_from_source` caught only `Refusal`. A directory that is no clone is git's own failure, so it was always `pin-source-unreadable`, exit 2. A path `subprocess.run` cannot enter never reaches git: it is a `FileNotFoundError`, `NotADirectoryError` or `PermissionError` out of `cwd=`, and nothing caught it. `scaffold-project.py --pin ... --pin-source <that>` ended `--dry-run` and the real run alike in a traceback, exit 1. Since the move above, `adopt-project.py plan --pin` reads its digest through the same function and ended the same way. Both reach it through `declared_pin_values`, and `check` and `execute` read no source, so that call is the only reader.

The issue's table, run on ab623dd for the scaffold and on d806e8f for `adopt-project.py plan` (adopt has no `--pin-source` on ab623dd), then on this head. `gh` is a stub that logs and exits 97, with `GH_TOKEN` bogus and an empty `GH_CONFIG_DIR`; it was called 0 times in every run:

| `--pin-source` | before | this branch |
|---|---|---|
| a directory that is not a clone | `pin-source-unreadable`, exit 2 | unchanged |
| a path that does not exist | `FileNotFoundError` traceback, exit 1 | `pin-source-unreadable`, exit 2: `<path> could not answer for opensoft/openGlass @ <40 hex>: no such directory` |
| a file | `NotADirectoryError`, exit 1 | exit 2, `... it is a file, not a directory` |
| under a parent this user cannot enter | `PermissionError`, exit 1 | exit 2, `... Permission denied` |
| a symlink loop (not in the issue) | `RuntimeError` out of `Path.resolve()` on 3.12, exit 1 | exit 2, `... Too many levels of symbolic links` |

The real run and `--dry-run` give the same stdout and stderr, and nothing exists afterwards (no remote directory, no work directory; for adopt, no plan file).

What changed, in `scripts/shape_materialize.py` only:
- `pin_digest_from_source` catches `OSError` as well as `Refusal` and raises the existing `pin-source-unreadable` with its remediation unchanged. The message names the path and the reason.
- `stat()` judges the source inside the guard, as #312 does in `validate-pins.py`, and the sentences are that file's: a missing path, or one beneath a file, is "no such directory"; a file is "it is a file, not a directory"; any other `OSError`, from `stat()` or from git's `cwd=`, is the system's own reason (`strerror`). It is not `exists()`/`is_dir()`, which before 3.14 swallow only a missing path. A source `stat()` can read but `cwd=` cannot enter, a directory with no search bit, fails in `tree_digest` and the same guard answers it.
- `declared_pin_values` resolves the path through a guarded `_resolved_pin_source`. `Path.resolve()` raises a `RuntimeError` on a symlink loop before 3.13 (an `OSError` since), before the digest was asked for. As typed, `stat()` meets the loop and says so.
- A source that answers is read exactly as before: a relative path resolves against the working directory, a symlink to a clone is followed, `digest_source` reads `local-clone (<path as typed>)`, and the digest is `tree_digest`'s.

`tests/test_pin_source_unreadable.py` (46 tests in the #339 commit; fix round 1 adds 17 for S1 and moves one, below) runs each case through `scaffold-project.py --dry-run`, its real run and `adopt-project.py plan`: missing, a file, beneath a file, relative and missing, a parent and a source with no search bit (skipped on Windows and as root, by a mark, so before any fixture builds a directory), a 300-character name, a symlink loop (skipped on Windows) and a directory that is no clone. Each asserts exit 2, the refusal naming the path and the reason, its remediation, no traceback and nothing created. It also holds `--dry-run` and the real run to the same stdout and stderr, checks the path is printed escaped under an ASCII stderr and as a surrogate when it is not UTF-8, and checks that a relative source and a symlink to a clone read as before. The session `gh` guard fails any test whose run called `gh`.

origin/main ab623dd reached this branch through implQ's branch: 34dbd86 is a30091f merged with ab623dd. One file conflicted there, `templates/assembly-root/scripts/validate-pins.py`, in seven hunks, because #312 (8cdca5e) replaced `keyed_sources` and `default_source` with `PinSources` and #275 added `env_shared` and `shared`. #312's blob is the same at its PR head, at the squash and at ab623dd, so it landed the file implQ resolved against. The resolution keeps #312's side in all seven and adds #275's on top:

| # | hunk | resolution |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | `resolve_neutral_pin_source` signature | #312's `sources: PinSources` and 3-tuple return, plus #275's `env_shared: bool = False` |
| 2 | its docstring tail | #312's `Returns (path, how, typed)` text, plus #275's "Rule 2 is skipped when `env_shared`" paragraph |
| 3 | `_recompute_neutral_pin_digest` signature | #312's `sources`, plus #275's `shared: frozenset[str]` after `report` |
| 4 | the `resolve_neutral_pin_source(...)` call inside it | #312's 3-tuple unpack, plus `env_shared = product.casefold() in shared` and the extra argument |
| 5 | `_check_one_neutral_product_pin` signature | #312's `sources`, plus #275's `shared` |
| 6 | its call of `_recompute_neutral_pin_digest` | `sources, report, shared` |
| 7 | `_check_neutral_product_pins` docstring and body | #312's `PinSources(...)` and `_note_unused_pin_sources`, plus #275's paragraph, `_report_pin_source_collisions(products, report)` and `shared = frozenset(pin_source_env_shared(products))` |

This branch's own merge of 34dbd86 (5690235) had no conflict, and neither had its merge of #409's fix round, 6494714 (583f647). That fix round made `neutral-pin-source-collides` a note and keyed "one product" by `repo_shape.pin_product_key`. At 421e4e5, `templates/assembly-root/scripts/validate-pins.py`, `scripts/repo_shape.py` and `tests/test_pin_source_env_collisions.py` were byte-identical to the tree `git merge-tree` gives for 6494714 with origin/main 3ef059c (blobs 5604007, 091966b, 5220787), so this branch added nothing to those three files beyond #409. The 34dbd86 merge brought in #335, #312, #317, #270 (f795cf7), #344 and #349 with no conflict. Earlier merges of origin/main (87373a6, for #309's reworded constant, and e43fa95) are unchanged.

Fix round 1 merged origin/main three more times:
- **cd1fc79 (2bcfa69).** It brought #245, #351, #350, #345, #372, #371, #354, #380, #377 and the rest since ab623dd, with no conflict.
- **45e01f4 (4098b61).** It brought #396's `tests/test_agents_md_codes.py`. That test finds `scaffold-pin-collides` as a string constant of `scripts/shape_materialize.py`, which `SHIPPED` lists.
- **3ef059c (421e4e5), #314.** One conflict, one hunk in `adopt-project.py`. This branch's `_refuse_an_unrecordable_pin_source` and #314's section "The project must be able to hold what `execute` writes into it (#261)" were added at the same place; both are kept. Where the two meet, lane 5's earlier recipe applies:
  - `_flag_plan` builds each pin as the `PIN_FIELDS` mapping `plan` writes, not `list(pins)` of products. So the plan `plan` asks the validator about is the plan it writes.
  - #314's `test_plan_asks_what_check_asks_of_the_same_keys` plans `--pin openGlass@<commit> --pin-source <stand-in>` where it planned the name alone, which `plan` now refuses.

Then f9ed46f, after #409 squash-landed, and 73d65c6 after it (top of this description).

On the merged tree exactly one test failed: `tests/test_adopt_template_values.py::test_check_finds_and_execute_refuses_a_hand_edited_value[pins-surrogate]`. It plans, then hand-edits the plan to `pins: ["openX\ud800"]`, a name-only pin with a lone surrogate. Before this branch the refusal's headline was `REFUSED plan-unwritable-value`. A name-only pin in a plan is now `plan-pin-unrecorded` (#273), so `check` has a second, independent finding for that very plan, and the headline is the first finding's:

```
REFUSED plan-pin-unrecorded: 2 finding(s) ...
FINDING plan-pin-unrecorded: `pins:` entry 1, 'openX\ud800', is a name with no commit and no digest ...
FINDING plan-unwritable-value: a `pins:` item is 'openX\ud800', which `execute` writes into the assembly root's `project.yaml`, and it holds a lone surrogate ...
```

Nothing about #270's contract changed. The lone surrogate is still found as `plan-unwritable-value`, listed under the refusal, and `execute` still refuses before any leg exists. `check` builds `_leg_findings`, where `_pin_findings` sits, before it calls `_value_findings`, so the pin finding comes first. d806e8f changes one assertion for that row, `pins` only: the headline is `REFUSED plan-pin-unrecorded: ` where it was `PLAN_REFUSED`. The other 15 rows and the finding assertions, including the `plan-unwritable-value` line, are untouched.

Lane 5's review of 7a94b6b found 3 should-fix and 5 nits. Each is answered here:
- **#409's `pin_product_key` (review N1).** The merge of #409's fix round could not carry it, because this branch had moved the function that used it out of `scaffold-project.py`. `pin_variable_collisions` now keys each pin by that function, where it casefolded. `openß` and `openss` are two pin files and one `SHAPE_PIN_SOURCE_OPENSS`, and a casefold named each of the two pins twice. No `--pin` or recorded `pins:` entry `PIN_ARG_RE` admits can spell either, so the test asks the function directly. `refuse_colliding_pins`' docstring now says, in #409's words, that the root's `validate-pins.py` only notes such a pair.
- **S1, a `--pin-source` path that is not printable.** `pin_digest_from_source` names the path as typed unless it is not printable (`str.isprintable`), and then as Python's `repr` spells it (`shown_source`). That covers the refusal's head and git's own reason, which names the directory it ran in. Printed raw, an ESC reached the terminal, and a line break or a carriage return began a line of the path's choosing, a forged `REFUSED` line among them, from the scaffold and from adopt. The traceback #339 replaced had shown a `repr`. A printable path is named byte for byte as before.
- **S2, no `gh` on PATH.** `pin_digest_from_gh` refuses as `gh-not-found`, exit 2, as `repo_shape.tree_digest_from_gh` names it, and offers `--pin-source`. It was a `FileNotFoundError` traceback, exit 1, from the scaffold and, new with this branch, from `adopt-project.py plan --pin`.
- **S3, a hand-edited `commit:` or `tree_sha256:`.** The lane's decision is to accept it and document it (option (c)); no behaviour changed. A pair that disagrees passes `check` and `execute` (`adoption verified`), because neither reads a network for a pin, by design. The adopted root's own `validate-pins.py` then exits 1 with `neutral-pin-digest-mismatch` wherever it can read the product. `check` now says so once, after the pins it will write: "each pin as `plan` read it, not read again here: the root's own `validate-pins.py` recomputes its digest wherever it can read the product". Options (a), `execute` recomputes before it creates the legs, and (b), `check` recomputes from a clone still on the machine, are filed as #449.
- **N2, a `--pin-source` that `plan` cannot record.** `plan` asks `check`'s question (`one_printable_line`) of the path it records in each pin's `digest_source:`, before any digest is read. It refuses one that fails as `adopt-unwritable-value`, in #270's words (`unwritable_reason`), or as "an invisible formatting character" where those name nothing. Before, it was planned, exit 0, and printed raw in the report. `check` then refused it as `plan-pin-malformed` and said to re-run the same `plan`. The report's `pin` line and `check`'s `write` line now spell the digest's source with `_shown`. The scaffold half is pre-existing (a line break in the path is written into the pin file; a byte that is not UTF-8 dies after all three repositories exist) and is filed as #450.
- **N3, six hunks no test guarded.** Each now has a test that fails when it alone is reverted:
  - the two name guards (a `pins:` name holding an ESC and a forged line);
  - the lower-casing of the commit and the digest (an upper-cased hand edit);
  - the `digest_source` printability check;
  - the not-text check (`commit: 1234567` unquoted);
  - the gitlink filter (a submodule kept where the pin is written is `plan-submodule-root` alone).
- **N4.** This body.
- **N5, #339's third decision.** A `--pin-source` that nothing reads is still silent, now in adopt too. This PR does not decide it. #451, filed, lays out refuse, note and leave, so closing #339 loses nothing.

Lane 5's second review, of 421e4e5, found no blocking item, 2 should-fix items and 3 nits. The two should-fix items are this body: the landing after #409 (above) and #386 (above). The code needed no change for them. f63d1ed adds two tests and no code:
- **n1. `plan` asks nothing of a `--pin-source` no `--pin` records.** With the `args.pin and` guard dropped, such a path holding an ESC or a zero-width joiner was refused in a sentence naming no file ("`execute` writes into , and ..."), and every test still passed. `test_a_pin_source_no_pin_records_is_not_asked_about` holds the plan to exit 0 and `pins: []`, with the path named nowhere in the plan or the report. The ESC row is POSIX-only by the file's `POSIX_NAMES` mark; the zero-width joiner row runs everywhere. It holds #451's answer today, silence, so a decision there changes this test on purpose.
- **n2. A printable `--pin-source` is printed as it is.** With `_spelled` in place of `_shown` in `plan`'s `pin` line, every test still passed. `test_a_printable_pin_source_is_printed_as_it_is` holds `plan`'s `pin` line, and `check`'s `write` line for the plan `plan` wrote, to their exact text, ending `(local-clone (<path>))` with no backtick.
- **n3** needs a code change and is left out (below).

**Fix round 2, on f63d1ed.** Each run had a `gh` stub first on PATH (it logs and exits 97), `GH_TOKEN` bogus, an empty `GH_CONFIG_DIR`, `git-filter-repo` 2.47.0 next on PATH, and the identity blanked with `GIT_CONFIG_COUNT`; the session `gh` guard came first inside each run.
- **The pin set: 812 passed, 2 skipped.** It covers adopt pins, adopt plan, #339's file, #275's tests, the pin and neutral-pin validators, git output decoding, adopt template values, CLI reference, scaffold pin and reuse, scaffold pin collisions, #314's two files and #396's file. The skips are `test_adopt_plan.py:403` (no MedxEHR clone) and `test_adopt_template_values.py:223` (this host reads `git config user.name` from the repository, not from `GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL`). That is fix round 1's 809 passed, plus the three new rows.
- **Shape doctor and scaffold leg-path collisions: 369 passed, 3 skipped** (the PowerShell line exists only on a Windows host).
- **Mutation probes**, each one line changed in a throwaway worktree, over `tests/test_adopt_pins.py` and `tests/test_pin_source_unreadable.py` less the five end-to-end adoptions:
  - the `args.pin and` guard dropped: 2 failed, both n1 rows;
  - `plan`'s `pin` line `_spelled`: 1 failed, the n2 test;
  - `check`'s `write` line `_spelled`: 2 failed, the n2 test and `test_an_upper_cased_hand_edit_is_written_lower_cased`;
  - `plan`'s `pin` line raw: 1 failed, the no-break-space test that already guarded that hunk.

**On the merged tree, 73d65c6** (the merge f9ed46f and the `_read_pins` commit), with the same harness:
- **The pin set** above, with #445's `test_adopt_late_failure.py`, `test_adopt_git_reads.py` and `test_adopt_filter_repo_failure.py` and #387's `test_adopt_empty_symlinks.py` and `test_adopt_root_manifest.py`: **988 passed, 2 skipped**. The skips are the two above.
- **Shape doctor, scaffold leg-path collisions and the adopt suites:** **967 passed, 3 skipped** (the PowerShell line). The adopt suites are e2e, execute refusals, verify, root shape paths (#387's too), leg-path collisions, clone template, ignored shape files and submodules.
- **On the merge alone, f9ed46f** (the same tree as before the `_read_pins` commit): `tests/test_adopt_late_failure.py` gave 3 failed, 83 passed, the three `AttributeError` rows above.
- `render-cli-reference.py --check` is ok on the merged tree. pyflakes reports the same four warnings on `adopt-project.py`, `scaffold-project.py` and `scripts/shape_materialize.py` as before the merge.

**Fix round 1, on 421e4e5.** Each run had `git-filter-repo` 2.47.0 on PATH and the identity blanked with `GIT_CONFIG_COUNT`. A `gh` stub that logs and exits 97 was first on PATH, with `GH_TOKEN` bogus and an empty `GH_CONFIG_DIR`, and the session `gh` guard came first inside each run.
- **The pin set:** 809 passed, 2 skipped (the same files and skips as above).
- **Doctor and scaffold:** 782 passed, 3 skipped (the PowerShell line exists only on a Windows host). It covers shape doctor, scaffold leg-path collisions, scaffold e2e, referent chain links, naming policy, repo hygiene and #351's free-text values.
- **The adopt suites:** 882 passed. It covers e2e, execute refusals, verify, spec-only, leg paths, root shape paths, plan escapes, leg-path collisions, clone template and submodules.
- **Before the #314 merge,** on 74ce4d9's tree: the first two sets gave 577 passed, 2 skipped and 782 passed, 3 skipped. On 2bcfa69's tree (the merges alone, before the fix) they gave 542 passed, 2 skipped and 782 passed, 3 skipped. After the 45e01f4 merge, `tests/test_agents_md_codes.py`, repo hygiene and CLI reference: 110 passed.
- **Lane 5's second review** also ran 421e4e5 merged with main cb7063f and with 53bee5b: the pin set, the manifest-value set, and the doctor set with #357's `tests/test_doctor_validator_rows.py`. All passed, with only the skips above.

Proof that fix round 1's tests test something:
- **On 2bcfa69's tree,** with this head's two test files laid over it, 31 of the new rows fail:
  - S1: 17;
  - N2 and its report spelling: 7;
  - S2: 3;
  - the `pin_product_key` port: 2;
  - `check`'s S3 line: 1;
  - the not-UTF-8 `adopt plan` row: 1.

  The N3 rows pass there, as they must: they guard hunks this branch already had.
- **Mutation probes.** Each hunk was reverted alone, in a throwaway worktree, and both test files were run: 18 of 18 were caught.
  - **The port:** the casefold keying (2 fail); the casefold lookup alone (2).
  - **S1:** the path named raw (13); git's reason named raw (2); every path `repr`'d, printable or not (27).
  - **S2:** no `except` (3).
  - **N2:** no `plan` check (11); only #270's question asked (1); the formatting-character reason said otherwise (1); the report's `pin` line raw (1); `check`'s `write` line raw (1).
  - **S3:** the line dropped (1).
  - **N3:** the `_pin_fix` name guard (1); the `_read_pins` path guard (1); the lower-casing (1); the `digest_source` check (1); the not-text check (1); the gitlink filter (1).
- **The issue rows reproduced.** S1, S2 and N2 were reproduced on 2bcfa69's tree and shown gone on the fix (a probe driving both tools; `gh` was called 0 times).

**Before fix round 1.** Runs were on 7a94b6b, with `git-filter-repo` 2.47.0 first on PATH and the repository-local `user.name` blanked with `GIT_CONFIG_COUNT` (a workstation whose standard checkout sets one fails `test_the_scaffold_refuses_with_no_elector` on main itself; CI sets none). 7a94b6b differs from ffd1297 in `tests/test_pin_source_unreadable.py` only, so the three suites that do not read that file ran on ffd1297:

- the new file: 46 passed;
- adopt pins, adopt plan, git output decoding: 172 passed, 1 skipped (the MedxEHR clone is absent);
- scaffold pin and reuse, pin collisions, e2e, referent chain links, neutral pin and pin validators, #275's tests, naming policy, repo hygiene, CLI reference, scaffold leg-path collisions: 571 passed;
- shape doctor: 254 passed, 3 skipped (the PowerShell line exists only on a Windows host);
- the new file with repo hygiene, git output decoding and CLI reference, once more after the last edit: 176 passed.

Earlier on 5690235 and d806e8f, before the #339 commit: the adopt suites (e2e, execute refusals, verify, spec-only, leg paths, root shape paths, plan escapes, leg-path collisions, clone template) 740 passed, and `tests/test_adopt_template_values.py` with #273's other adopt tests 489 passed, 2 skipped. They were not re-run on 7a94b6b: the #339 diff touches `pin_digest_from_source` and the call in `declared_pin_values`, which those suites reach through `test_adopt_pins.py` only. Nothing was run on macOS or Windows.

Proof the new tests test something:
- **On d806e8f.** 38 of the 46 fail, each on the traceback and its exit 1. The 8 that pass are the unchanged behaviour: the not-a-clone refusal (4 rows) and the valid-source rows (4).
- **Mutation probes.** Ten hunks reverted one at a time, each failing at least one new test: the `OSError` catch (16 fail), the catch narrowed to `OSError` only (21), the missing-path clause (9), the clause narrowed to `FileNotFoundError` (3), the `S_ISDIR` judgement (3), the loop guard (4), no resolve at all (3), the old `.resolve()` call (4), the reason as `str(exc)` (12), and the file sentence as the OS's (3).
- #273's own 52 tests still fail on c7c02fa (51 fail or error; the one that passes checks the test's own table), and its 18 mutation probes were each caught.

**Re-verified after the merge.** An independent re-verification of f9ed46f and 73d65c6 found the code correct:
- #409 is carried whole. A 30,000-case fuzz of `--pin` lists through #409's final refusal and this branch's port differed in 0 cases.
- `scaffold-project.py` equals the tested file plus main's own changes that are not #409's (same patch-id).
- `_commit_the_split` keeps #445's `try` and #394's `append`.
- `_read_pins` reads a loaded plan as before.

Its findings were all in this description (the #506 bullet and three stale facts), now fixed. Runs on the head and on its merge with main 48585e6: 988 passed, 2 skipped; and 967 passed, 3 skipped.

`git merge-tree --write-tree` was run at 01:48Z on 2026-10-13, comparing hunks per file. Each PR head, fetched from `refs/pull/<n>/head` with no `gh`, was merged with 73d65c6 and with origin/main 9736424 alone. Two sets were asked about:
- every PR this description listed before that main does not now contain;
- every PR numbered above #468 whose head main does not contain: #473, #474, #490, #491, #493, #494, #495, #496, #497, #503, #504 and #505.

**Open state, read with `gh` by the coordinator at 02:00Z and refreshed at 02:25Z after a re-verification on main 48585e6.** Every pull request named below is open. #184, #94, #96, #98, #100 and #161 are closed, and #465 landed as 48585e6. `fix/adopt-plan-quote-yaml-keywords` has no pull request. #506 (`fix/scaffold-reuse-seeded-legs`) opened after this list was made, and the re-verification reads it.

- **Landed since the last draft of this list:** #343, #346, #355, #358, #373, #378, #382, #387, #394, #397, #401, #404, #409, #419, #452, #456, #465, #466 and #484. #394's `_commit_the_split` conflict and #401's `docs/cli.md` conflict are both resolved in f9ed46f, above.
- **Clean, 20:** #266, #347, #356, #374, #376, #384, #395, #453, #467, #468, #473, #474, #490, #491, #493, #494, #495, #497, #503 and #505. #453, #468 and #491 were updated onto main since the first read and now merge clean. #507 (lane 5's #486-#488) shares only the generated `docs/cli.md` with this branch and merges clean with it.
- **Conflicting with main alone, and this branch adds no hunk:**
  - #402: `shape-doctor.py` 5;
  - #496: `shape-doctor.py` 10 and `tests/test_shape_doctor.py` 1.

**Conflicts this branch adds:**
- **#435** (3efcc7a, lane 2's `fix/adopt-plan-field-types`, for #386).
  - It adds 2 hunks in `adopt-project.py`: 5 here, against 3 with main alone. They are `render_plan`'s `pins:` line and `Plan.pins`.
  - Keep this branch's `_pin_lines` and `_pin_products`. The rest is under "Where the meaning meets".
- **#504** (37ef29a, `fix/adopt-root-kept-symlinks`).
  - It adds 1 hunk in `adopt-project.py`: 2 here, against 1 with main alone. It is the materializer call in `_commit_the_split`.
  - Keep both arguments and both comments: `append=append, neutral_pins=_recorded_pins(plan), spell=_spelled`.
- **#506** (119d8c4, `fix/scaffold-reuse-seeded-legs`).
  - It adds 1 hunk in `scaffold-project.py`. With main alone, #506 conflicts only in `docs/handbook.html`.
  - #506 inserts `LEG_TEMPLATES` right after `declared_pin_products`, which this branch moved out, and rewrites `_reusable_remotes` further down. Keeping both sides breaks the file with an unterminated string literal.
  - Keep only #506's `LEG_TEMPLATES` block. Drop #506's `declared_pin_values`/`declared_pin_products`, which moved here, and this branch's three-line `_reusable_remotes` opener, which #506 rewrites below. Resolved that way, pyflakes is clean and #506's scaffold tests pass (88).
- **`fix/adopt-plan-quote-yaml-keywords`** (ed9968f; a branch with no pull request).
  - It adds 2 hunks in `adopt-project.py`: 3 here, against 1 with main alone.
  - One is `render_plan`'s `pins:` line. Keep `_pin_lines`, which already sends product, repository and `digest_source` through `y`.
  - The other is `_refuse_unholdable_values`' signature. Keep `pins: dict`, with that branch's `_validator_judged` and `_named_as_read` above it.
- `fix/adopt-late-failure-notice` is no longer on origin. #445, the late-failure notice, is on main and merged here.

**Where the meaning meets:**
- **#435 and #386.** The coordinator has said this on #435: #435 (comment)
  - #435's `_plan_key_findings` (`plan-bad-pins`) keeps only text items in `pins:`, and its `PINS_REMEDIATION` tells a person to write `pins: [openGlass]`.
  - This branch writes each pin as a mapping, and it makes a name alone `plan-pin-unrecorded`.
  - Read from #435's code, not run: on a tree with both, the plan `plan --pin` writes is `plan-bad-pins` in `check`.
  - Whichever lands second reconciles them, with three changes:
    - `_plan_key_findings` takes this branch's mappings, or leaves `pins:` items to `_read_pins`;
    - a `pins:` that is not a list gives one finding, not both `plan-bad-pins` and `plan-pin-malformed`;
    - `PINS_REMEDIATION` says the mapping `plan` writes.
  - Until that is done, `tests/test_adopt_pins.py::test_a_plan_with_a_whole_pin_checks_ok` fails.
- **#314.** It landed, and it is merged here (above).
- **`fix/adopt-plan-quote-yaml-keywords`.** Its pin tests are written against the name-only `--pin`. They need the `name@commit` form, and their expected `pins: [...]` line becomes `_pin_lines`'s mapping.

- **Two unwritable values are refused in two runs (lane 5's second review, n3).** `plan --elected-by 'A<LF>B' --pin openGlass@<sha> --pin-source <a path holding an ESC>` refuses the elector alone, exit 2. Re-run with the elector retyped, it refuses the source; #270's refusal names every unwritable value at once. Reproduced on 421e4e5, with `gh` called 0 times. One refusal would need a code change, not made here:
  - `_refuse_an_unrecordable_pin_source` would split into a function that returns the sentence;
  - `_checked_plan_inputs` would ask it before #270's `unwritable_values` raise, and raise one `adopt-unwritable-value` that names both, with both remediations;
  - a test would add the two-value row.

  N2's question is `one_printable_line`, not `unwritable_reason`, so it cannot simply join #270's list.
- **Docs.** The README, AGENTS.md and `docs/handbook.html` are unchanged, because none of them calls adopt's `--pin` a name. A sentence saying adopt now takes the scaffold's `--pin` is a follow-up. It costs an AGENTS.md line-cap raise, and a README edit forces the handbook's README blob to change.
- **A product spelled `null`, `true` or `false`.** The scaffold already accepts `--pin null@<sha>`: it exits 0 and builds a root whose `validate-pins.py` exits 1 `neutral-pin-entry-malformed`. Adopt's `plan` writes `product: null` through `y`, and `check` then finds `plan-pin-malformed` and refuses it before any leg exists. The one fix for both tools is in `parse_pin`, and it would change the scaffold's behaviour.
- **Wording shared with the scaffold.** `digest_source` is written bare into the pin file, so a `--pin-source` path holding ` #` is cut short there. `templates/assembly-root/contracts/neutral-product-pin.yaml` and `validate-pins.py`'s `neutral-pin-missing` remediation name only the scaffold as the writer. Two comments in `scripts/repo_shape.py` still name the scaffold's `pin_digest_from_gh`, in a digest-pinned shipped copy.
- **Filed as follow-ups:**
  - #449: S3, a hand-edited `commit:` or `tree_sha256:` that disagrees, with options (a) and (b);
  - #450: the scaffold half of N2, a `--pin-source` path no file can hold;
  - #451: #339's third decision (N5), a `--pin-source` that nothing reads.
- **`validate-pins.py` prints a `--pin-source` path raw** in `neutral-pin-source-unreadable`, the twin of S1. It is a shipped template that #409 and other open PRs edit, so it is left for its own change. No issue is filed for it yet.
- **Windows and macOS** were not run here; CI ran both (below). Two assertions that depend on what Windows answers for a path (a name past the filesystem's limit, a path beneath a file) check only the refusal and its remediation there. Fix round 1's rows that need a control character or a byte that is not UTF-8 in a path, or a symlink to `git`, are skipped on Windows by a mark, and so is fix round 2's ESC row. The rows for a no-break space and a zero-width joiner run everywhere, and so does the in-process `gh-not-found` test.

Reviewed independently by lane 5 at 7a94b6b (3 should-fix, 5 nits: fix round 1) and at 421e4e5 (0 blockers, 2 should-fix, 3 nits: fix round 2). After #409's squash, the re-verification of f9ed46f and 73d65c6 found the code correct; its 1 should-fix and 3 nits were in this description and are fixed. GitHub's update-branch then merged main twice (33bae3f, 2170526), with no hand edit. CI's tests, tests-macos and tests-windows and SonarCloud all passed at 2170526 (main cac6bb2 merged in). On that head merged with main 57c85e9 (#490, #474 and #468, none of which touches this branch's files), the pin and adopt set with `tests/test_update_shape_landing.py` gave 1112 passed, 2 skipped, and the doctor, adopt end-to-end, unfinished-merge and bootstrap set gave 1056 passed, 3 skipped (the doctor's PowerShell line, which exists only on a Windows host).

… false are corrected to what the tools do on main (#483) (#505)

**Closes #483.** #483 is the v1.0.0 "README and AGENTS.md accurate" criterion. Three read-only audits (AGENTS.md; README.md lines 1-727; README.md lines 711-end) checked every statement that names a command, a flag, an exit code, a refusal, a file or a step against the code at `ec4a7a0e` and ran the tools offline (local bare remotes, a stub `gh`, a blank git identity). They found 38 false or incomplete statements. This pull request corrects 28 of them (27 whole, and D2-F1 in part), plus two the independent review found (the `MISPLACED` text after #394, and `openRepoShape --preflight` "offers to install" git-filter-repo): 29 rows in all, D1-F9 and D3-F7 sharing one. The other ten, and the rest of D2-F1, were settled by pull requests that landed while this one was open: #484 and #465 settle six (D1-F8, D2-F7, D3-F6; D2-F13, D2-F14, D3-F8), and #491 and #468, to which this branch had routed them, settle four (D1-F1, D2-F5, D1-F2; D3-F11) and the rest of D2-F1. The two routed to #490 (D1-F9, D3-F7) were still false once it landed, and are corrected here. A last read of every line main has added to README.md and AGENTS.md since `ec4a7a0e` found nothing else false, so nothing is left open under #483.

Two independent reviews, six rounds. The first head (`bfbd4eeb`) came back CHANGES NEEDED: two corrections that were themselves untrue (exit 3; "each of those tools has its own section") and nine gaps. The second (`ccf520bd`, on a merge of `7a8b981d`, where #394 landed) fixed them and came back with no blocker and three landing changes, which the third commit (`f35e59fa`, on a merge of `5a253877`, where #484 landed) makes: D2-F5 and D1-F1's block go back to #491 (at `2d59d141` its `setup-project.py` reads the yes from the controlling terminal, so the piped one-liner asks once it lands, and its new test strips `<...>` from README.md, which a `bash <(` line breaks); D3-F5 is fixed here now that #484 has landed; and the routes are re-derived at the current heads. The same commit leaves AGENTS.md's family steps 3 and 5 as main has them, so #486-#488 (`10c93ded`) still merges clean. The fourth round merges `48585e62`, where #465 landed (README.md at 699-709, 1028 and 1095 and the handbook beside them, none of which this branch edits), and re-reads the three #465 rows on main. The fifth merges `57c85e92`, where #468 landed (the doctor's `merge` row), as `fb6a9ab4`: the doctor's verdict table, in README.md and in the handbook, takes this branch's `COMPLIANT`, `SHAPE BEHIND` and `DRIFTED` rows and main's `MISPLACED` and `INVALID` rows, and the handbook footer keeps both clauses (#424, then #483) with its blob recomputed. `aa4e1f59` (#508) then merged clean, as `83cfad54`. The sixth merges `70d0d1b3`, where #491 landed (setup asks at the person's own terminal), as `94793aeb`: README.md's "What Dana sees" paragraph takes #491's text whole with this branch's D2-F6 ("a hyphenated name"), and the handbook footer keeps #476's and #492's clauses ahead of #483's, with its blob recomputed. The same round re-reads every routed row on main, corrects D1-F9 and D3-F7 (`ea634043`), and reads what main changed in both files since `ec4a7a0e`. The first reviewer's round four came back APPROVE WITH NITS (0/0/3) and asked for one word, made at `9ac90d16`: "a hyphenated project name", since the leg names are hyphenated and pass.

**What.** `README.md` and `AGENTS.md` only, plus `docs/handbook.html` where it repeats a corrected sentence, with its footer's `README.md blob` recomputed (`git hash-object README.md` = `1417b9ec0235675da8f73ca023756411bc3fbe8a`). No tool, test, template or `docs/cli.md` changes. `README.md` hashes identically at `ec4a7a0e`, `437a360a`, `d222a124` and `7a8b981d`, so its audit line numbers held; `AGENTS.md` changed only by #394 (it adds 5 lines after line 154 and 3 more after the doctor's item 4); #484, #465 and #491 since edited both files, and #468 README.md, without changing either total. Each fix is the smallest true sentence, keeps the surrounding voice, and states only what the code or a run showed.

**The line caps.** `tests/test_repo_hygiene.py` holds `AGENTS.md` to 490 lines (#394 raised it from 482) and `README.md` to 1422, and both files stand exactly at their caps, so every correction is line-neutral. To give back the lines the longer sentences need, paragraphs that no correction touches are re-wrapped to 80 columns with no word changed:
- README.md, eight paragraphs no correction touches: macOS (`and refuses anything below 3.9`), `2. Login.`, the InkRouter ruling quote, `Each leg is pinned TWICE`, the neutral-product election paragraph (`Ruled by Brett Heap on 2026-09-05`), `Its entries are adopt-project.py plan's entries`, `This repository implements neither`, `A FAMILY holder carries both verbs too`; and the tail of the `--link-source` paragraph that D2-F12 edits. None is in README.md's family section (903-925 on main), which #486-#488 edits.
- AGENTS.md, four paragraphs no correction touches: the opening paragraph, the NO-code seeding paragraph, doctor item 1 and the park overlay item; and the first half of the doctor intro, whose second half D1-F7 edits. The family steps are main's exact bytes: an earlier head re-wrapped steps 3 and 5 (`make siblings`) and #486-#488 edits both.
- Three sentences this pass corrects give up a few words to keep a line: D2-F1's "offers to run" (no "for you"), D2-F11's "asks the same of one name", and AGENTS.md's `check` verdict list and doctor next-command item (D3-F9, D1-F7).

Word-level diffs of both files (`rvD-worddiff.py`) show only the edits in the tables below, `rvD-hunks.py` marks each re-wrapped hunk `WHITESPACE-ONLY`, and `rvD-mdstruct.py` finds the Markdown block structure, links and HTML identical (AGENTS.md 320/320 blocks, README.md 678/678).

"Where" is the audited `ec4a7a0e` for README.md (it hashes the same up to #394, and #484 and #465 changed its text and not its line count, so those numbers still point at the same places on main); AGENTS.md lines after 154 read 5 higher on main, and 8 higher after the doctor's item 4, since #394. "Evidence" is code at `7a8b981d` (the line numbers below are that file's, re-derived at the merged head `48585e62` for every tool file that #394, #484, #465 and the later landings moved), and "run" is the audit's or this pass's offline run.

`docs/handbook.html` repeats these and is corrected where it does: the preflight offers, `git` and the credential helper (four platform panels), the `openRepoShape --preflight` exit codes, the visibility default, the rehearsal leftovers, the CamelCase sentence, the credential rewrite and `SHAPE_LEGS_TOKEN`, the source repository's one change, the digest definition, `check`'s verdicts and the `both` refusal, the doctor's row sentence, verdict table and exit 3, the placement paragraph's submodule, and bare `park`. The handbook says more than the README in four places (the `git`-before-the-preflight sentences in the Linux panel, the Windows git offer "only under `py setup-project.py --preflight`", glosses for the three non-comparable `check` states, park "from anywhere"); all are true. Its footer's history prose gains "added (#483)".

A checkout that cannot answer is the finding `neutral-pin-source-unreadable`", and the handbook says the same (1139-1141). True: a source that is found but cannot answer is a FINDING, templates/assembly-root/scripts/validate-pins.py:796; the SKIP is only "no source found and `gh api` fails" |
| D2-F14 | README.md:708-709 | #465 deleted the whole sentence, so "a pin file the declaration names but that is not there, is reported as drift" is gone from README.md and the handbook (the missing file is the refusal `neutral-pin-missing`, validate-pins.py:699). It also dropped the true half, "A digest that recomputes differently is reported as drift" (the finding `neutral-pin-digest-mismatch`, validate-pins.py:853): not a false statement; see "Not holding #483 open" below |
| D3-F8 | README.md:1028, 1095-1097 | #465 rewrote both: README.md:1027-1029 "a project runs its own gate, which never consults this standard (its validators' one possible network read is `validate-pins.py`'s `gh api` recheck of a neutral product's pin, above)" and :1095-1098 "That line adds no network call ... (Its pins gate may ask `gh api`; see above.)"; the handbook the same (1403, 1448). True: `validate-pins.py` falls back to `gh api` when no local checkout answers (scripts/repo_shape.py:931 `tree_digest_from_gh`) |

Evidence is at `ea634043`, the merge of `70d0d1b3` with the D1-F9/D3-F7 correction; `9ac90d16` changes one README word in place and the footer blob, so the line numbers hold at this head. The runs are this round's, offline: local bare remotes, a stub `gh`, a blank identity.

Run under a pty: the piped `cat setup.sh \| bash -s -- … --local-remote-dir …` asked `Type yes to continue:`, and `no` gave `REFUSED: not confirmed; nothing was created.`, exit 1.

| D2-F1 (rest) | README.md:434-436 | #491's words, kept whole in the merge (README.md:432-445). The `gh` offers are the install (setup-project.py:992-1005, `INSTALL_OFFERS` at 795-798), the login (1009, 1015-1032) and git's credential helper (1051-1083, asked only once `gh` is ready, 1134-1137); git and Python are refused before any offer (setup.sh:76 and 85, exit 2 by :40). Run with no git on PATH: `openRepoShape --preflight` printed `REFUSED: git is not installed. Install it: https://git-scm.com/downloads`, exit 2, and offered nothing |
| D3-F11 | README.md:1130-1133 | #468's sentence (README.md:1130-1134) names `agent files` for a holder and `machine` for a plain directory, as the doctor's `CHECKS` registry has them (shape-doctor.py:6115-6155, at 6135 and 6153).

| `MISPLACED` table row (the review's) | README.md:1151, and the handbook's verdict table | #468's row reads "...or a submodule in a leg other than the one its `submodules:` record names" (README.md:1155, handbook:1509); shape-doctor.py:3843-3862, 3993-4008 |

Every finding of the three audits is corrected above or settled by a pull request that has landed. A fourth read took what main changed in README.md and AGENTS.md since the audits' `ec4a7a0e` (#394, #484, #465, #468, #491: `git diff -U0 ec4a7a0 70d0d1b`), every line this branch does not itself rewrite, and asked the audits' question by their method. It found one false statement, D1-F9/D3-F7's own sentence as #484 kept it, corrected above, and checked the rest true: AGENTS.md 23, 63-67, 73-81, 83-86, 88-96, 155-158, 252-254, 335, 347-349 and 357-361; README.md 333-338, 343, 432-445, 503, 508, 699-709, 987-992, 1028-1033, 1095-1098, 1118-1136, 1155-1156 and 1163-1171 (line numbers at `ea634043`). Read in code only: the offers' real-GitHub paths and Windows (the real `gh` never ran). Not read: `park` and `resume`, which live in openRepoTools.

**True but loose, left as they are.** AGENTS.md:83 and README.md:440 say a run with no terminal "stops after the plan"; a missing prerequisite stops it earlier, at the preflight (exit 2), which AGENTS.md:88 covers. README.md:1216-1218 says the machine check runs "with stdin closed"; the doctor also starts it in a session of its own (shape-doctor.py:1284-1285), which is what keeps the terminal out since #492. AGENTS.md's doctor item 3 does not say to ask the human which of #495's two `bump-leg.py --to` lines to run: an omission, not a false statement.

**Outside these files.** `scripts/bump-leg.py:1513` still prints "re-places it on its tracking branch AT the new pin" after every bump. It is on #458's checklist with the rest of #490's follow-ups, and a docs-only pull request leaves it there.

**Not holding #483 open: an omission.** #465 deleted "A digest that recomputes differently is reported as drift" together with its false clause. So README.md (698-709) and the handbook beside it no longer say what a recomputed neutral-pin digest that disagrees does. Nothing there is false, so it does not hold #483 open. Both files are at their caps, and the sentence needs about two more README lines that no untouched paragraph gives back, so it is not added here. Re-checked at `ea634043`: the finding is validate-pins.py:968-970 and 1140-1142 (exit 1), the refusal 814-816 and 1172-1175 (exit 2). A sentence for whoever next edits that paragraph: "A digest that recomputes differently is the finding `neutral-pin-digest-mismatch` (exit 1); a pin file the declaration names but that is not there is the refusal `neutral-pin-missing` (exit 2)."

A robustness note on main's `test_the_documents_say_what_an_assistant_does_with_no_terminal` (#491): it strips `<...>` from README.md as well as from the HTML page, and a README line holding `<(` and no `>` swallows lines up to the next `>`; stripping tags from the `.html` page only would make that test indifferent to such a line.

`git merge-tree --write-tree` of `ea634043` against the open pull requests that edit these files: clean with #503 (`6fe17be5`); #506 (`f184a51c`) and #486-#488's #507 (`708f3bbb`) each conflict in the handbook footer alone (its history prose and `README.md blob` line), and README.md and AGENTS.md merge clean with all three and stay at 1422 and 490 lines. Whichever lands later recomputes `git hash-object README.md` and keeps every "added (#n)" clause. #394, #484, #465, #468 (`57c85e92`), #490 (`7348c57b`), #508 (`aa4e1f59`) and #491 (`da197359`) are merged here.

- At this head (`9ac90d16`): `tests/test_repo_hygiene.py tests/test_agents_md_codes.py tests/test_cli_reference.py tests/test_setup_project_py.py tests/test_setup_sh.py`, 277 passed; `scripts/validate-repository-naming.py --explain Atlas Atlas-spec Atlas-code` exits 0 (`project-leg`: assembly, spec, code) and `--explain At-las At-las-spec At-las-code` exits 1 (`FINDING naming-unclassified`), so only the project name's hyphen is refused.
- At `ea634043`: `tests/test_repo_hygiene.py tests/test_agents_md_codes.py tests/test_cli_reference.py`, 122 passed (the same on the merge `94793aeb`); `tests/test_setup_project_py.py tests/test_setup_sh.py`, which read README.md and the handbook for #491's no-terminal route, 155 passed; `tests/test_free_plan_hint.py` with the AGENTS.md step 7 tests of `tests/test_adopt_late_failure.py` and `tests/test_adopt_github_exits.py`, 18 passed; and on the merge, `tests/test_bootstrap_after_bump.py`, 23 passed. A stub `gh` first on PATH (it logged no call), `GH_TOKEN` bogus, an empty `GH_CONFIG_DIR`, a blank identity.
- `rvD-worddiff.py`, `rvD-hunks.py` and `rvD-mdstruct.py` over `ea634043` against its parent: four `WORDS CHANGED` hunks, all of them the D1-F9/D3-F7 sentence and the blob, and no re-wrap; block structure, links, HTML and code spans identical (README.md 678/678 blocks, AGENTS.md 322/322). The merge `94793aeb` against `70d0d1b3` changes the same lines as `83cfad54` against `aa4e1f59` (366 insertions, 336 deletions), apart from the two resolved hunks.
- Review round four (the first reviewer, at `ea634043`): APPROVE WITH NITS (0 blockers, 0 should-fixes, 3 nits).
  - It ran `git show --remerge-diff` on every merge since round three (`71359744`, `fb6a9ab4`, `83cfad54`, `94793aeb`). Each hand resolution is a named conflict hunk, and no row, clause or fact was lost.
  - It reproduced the D1-F9/D3-F7 sentence with a real bump and `make bootstrap` in seven cases, and each placed the leg or said why not: a branch behind the pin; ahead with no commit of its own; with commits of its own; diverged; checked out in another worktree; a commit on the detached leg; a move a local change blocks.
  - It re-checked every routed row and ten moved-evidence rows, and read the whole of main's change since `ec4a7a0e`, finding nothing else false.
  - It ran the hygiene, codes, CLI-reference, setup, bootstrap-after-bump and free-plan tests: 314 passed.
  - Its nits: N1, the hyphenated project name, made at `9ac90d16`; N2, a run with no terminal stops at the preflight rather than after the plan when something is missing, which AGENTS.md:88 covers; N3, this description.
  - Two `bootstrap.py` defects it met while reproducing are on #458's checklist (issuecomment-6142614866).
- At `83cfad54`: `tests/test_repo_hygiene.py tests/test_agents_md_codes.py tests/test_cli_reference.py`, 119 passed. On `fb6a9ab4`, the merge of `57c85e92`, the same three gave 119 passed, and `tests/test_shape_doctor.py tests/test_doctor_unfinished_merge.py tests/test_free_plan_hint.py tests/test_openreposhape_command.py tests/test_shape_advisory.py` gave 465 passed, 3 skipped (the doctor's PowerShell line, which prints only on a Windows host). The table's "no row is a `FINDING`" holds with the `merge` row: `shape-doctor.py` returns `COMPLIANT` only at :6171, after :6168-6170 answer `INVALID (<ids>)` for any `FINDING` row, and `merge` is a `FINDING` only for an unmerged path (:5879; a merge with none left is a `note`, :5862). All runs with a stub `gh` first on PATH, `GH_TOKEN` bogus, an empty `GH_CONFIG_DIR`.
- At `71359744`, the merge of `48585e62`: the three files, 119 passed (a stub `gh` first on PATH, `GH_TOKEN` bogus, an empty `GH_CONFIG_DIR`; the stub logged no call).
- The same three files on a throwaway merge of `f35e59fa` with #491's head (merge-tree, commit-tree, a detached worktree, footer resolved, then removed): 122 passed, and `tests/test_setup_project_py.py tests/test_setup_sh.py -k no_terminal`: 8 passed. The failure the second review found (`test_the_documents_say_what_an_assistant_does_with_no_terminal[README.md]`, 1 failed, 122 passed) came from the `bash <(` lines this commit removes.
- `tests/test_adopt_late_failure.py::test_agents_md_step_7_names_the_exit_the_tool_prints` and `tests/test_adopt_github_exits.py -k "step_7 or agents"` (round two, on `ccf520bd`): 2 passed; they read AGENTS.md step 7, which is untouched.
- `rvD-worddiff.py`, `rvD-hunks.py` and `rvD-mdstruct.py` over the third commit against its merge parent: every changed region is one of the corrections above (the `bash <(` blocks back to main's text, D3-F5, the park parenthetical, the placement sentence and the three word trims), and the two `WHITESPACE-ONLY` hunks are the family steps going back to main's bytes; block structure 320/320 and 678/678, links, HTML and code spans identical.
- No test greps a phrase this pull request changed: the old phrases appear under `tests/` only in history comments and the doctor's docstring.

The third head (f35e59f) was re-verified: APPROVE WITH NITS (0/0/4), all four in this description and fixed there. Main 48585e6 (#465) was then merged as 7135974, and 57c85e9 (#468) as fb6a9ab; aa4e1f5 (#508) merged clean as 83cfad5. Main 70d0d1b (#491) was merged as 94793ae, and ea63404 corrects D1-F9/D3-F7. A fourth review round at ea63404 covered every merge since f35e59f (remerge-diff: no row, clause or fact lost), the bootstrap sentence in seven reproduced cases, and the whole docs delta since ec4a7a0: APPROVE WITH NITS (0/0/3), and #483 can close. Its N1, "a hyphenated project name", is 9ac90d1. CI is green on Linux, macOS and Windows, with SonarCloud passing, at 9ac90d1. Main cc8f2da (#376), which landed after its last merge, touches none of its files, and the combined tree passed the docs and setup tests (277 passed).

Closes #483

Lane: openreposhape-5 (openRepoShape-5)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…s a runnable `scripts/family.py`, printed commands quote paths, and `add`, `bump` and `remove` refuse the tracking branch and print their branch's push (#488, #486, #487) (#507)

Three defects from lane 3's v1.0.0 acceptance pass of AGENTS.md's "Creating a family, and adding a member", one commit each, in this order, then one review commit for #486 and one for #487. All three change `scripts/family.py` and `add`'s NEXT line, so they are one pull request.

**What was wrong.**
- AGENTS.md spelled the command `python3 scripts/family.py init --org <org> --family <Name>`, a path that runs from the standard's root. `--into` defaults to where the person stands.
- So the command, followed exactly, printed `landing <standard>/Orbit/Orbit` with no word, and `make siblings` would then clone every member into the standard's checkout too.
- `init`'s NEXT STEPS printed `python3 family.py add …`, built from `Path(__file__).name`. From the root that fails `can't open file`, exit 2.

**What changed** (commit 1).
- With neither `--into` nor `--work-dir`, `init` refuses a landing inside a checkout of openRepoShape: `family-landing-in-standard`. A checkout is a directory holding `scripts/family.py` beside `templates/family-root/`, found in the landing's ancestry, so another clone or an install counts too.
  - The refusal comes before anything is created, under `--dry-run` alike.
  - The remedy names `--into ..` from the root. From deeper inside the checkout it names the relative path that reaches the checkout's parent.
  - An explicit `--into` or `--work-dir` is not second-guessed. `family-holder-already-here` is still asked first.
- NEXT STEPS, and the `family-holder-already-here` remedy, name this file relative to the directory `init` ran in. From the root that is `scripts/family.py`, as setup-project.py, validate-family.py, AGENTS.md and README spell it. It is absolute where no relative path exists.
- AGENTS.md's init command passes `--into ..`, as README's already does, and step 1 says why. The edit is line-neutral: step 1 is one line shorter.
- `init --into --help` says it too, and docs/cli.md is regenerated.

**How tested.** `tests/test_family_init_landing.py`, 9 tests:
- the old command from the root is refused, as a dry run, so nothing can land in the checkout;
- a real run inside a fake checkout creates nothing;
- the remedy from a subdirectory names the right parent;
- an explicit `--into .` or `--work-dir .` passes;
- outside a checkout the default is unchanged;
- AGENTS.md's line, as written, lands beside the checkout;
- the printed NEXT runs, both from the root and from elsewhere.

On origin/main code 6 of them fail. Removing the refusal turns 3 red, and putting `Path(__file__).name` back turns 2 red.

**What was wrong.** `family.py` and the holder's `siblings.py` printed every path in their pasteable commands bare. Under a holder at `…/my work/Sonata/Sonata`:
- the `member-git-dir-cached` remedy `rm -rf <store>` split into `rm -rf …/my`, an absolute directory that is NOT the store, and a relative `work/…`;
- `init`'s NEXT STEPS and `add`'s NEXT split `--family-root` and `git -C` (`fatal: cannot change to '…/my'`, exit 128);
- the `mv` lines for a misnamed family folder pasted as four arguments.

**What changed** (commit 2, and the review commit after #487's).
- `scripts/repo_shape.py` gains `shell_quoted(value, platform=None)` and `shell_line(words, platform=None)`, in a new section at its end, the library `family.py` already imports.
  - It is the doctor's `quote_arg` rule (#101/#102): the same two alphabets, and the same two escapes, `sh`'s `'\''` and PowerShell's doubled apostrophe. The dialect comes from `os.name` or a `platform` argument. An ordinary word is left bare.
  - It does not flatten to ASCII, as the doctor's report does by contract. A command that deletes or moves a directory has to name that directory. So PowerShell's typographic single quotes are doubled too.
  - A word that begins with `=` is quoted, in both dialects. zsh, macOS's login shell, expands a bare `=word` to a command's path (`=ls` reaches the command as `/bin/ls`). This is the one place it differs from the doctor's rule on ASCII.
- `family.py`:
  - `init`'s NEXT STEPS print the `add` on ONE line. It used to paste only into a POSIX shell, because of its `\` continuation. `cd <holder>` and `make siblings` are two lines, with no `&&`, which Windows PowerShell 5.1 rejects between two statements.
  - Those lines and the `family-holder-already-here` remedy quote every path.
  - `add`'s NEXT quotes `git -C <holder>`, and `member-path-taken` quotes each spelling it names.
  - `member-git-dir-cached`, and `remove`'s note about the same store, print the directory alone on its own line. Then comes `rm -rf` with its one argument quoted for the POSIX shell `rm -rf` belongs to, and the sentence names that shell: Git Bash on Windows. PowerShell refuses `-rf` and deletes nothing.
- `siblings.py`: the parent-folder warning's `mv` and `mkdir -p` lines are quoted for a POSIX shell with the standard library's `shlex.join`, and the warning says which shell. It does NOT import the new quoter: a holder that kept its own `repo_shape.py` through `update-shape.py apply --accept-local` takes the new `siblings.py` without it, and an import of a name its copy lacks stopped `make siblings`, `park` and `resume` with an ImportError that `check` and the validator never reported.
- `setup-project.py`'s family hand-over quotes the holder in its `add` line (and names the branch first, see #487). It runs before any checkout of the standard exists, so it carries its own copy of the rule, and a test holds that copy to `shell_quoted`.

**How tested.** `tests/test_family_printed_quoting.py`, 69 tests:
- The quoter round-trips through `shlex.split`, and through a PowerShell reader, for a space and an apostrophe, `é` and a typographic apostrophe, shell syntax, the empty string, and every printable ASCII character alone and before, inside and after a word.
- The host's own `sh`, `bash` and `zsh` hand each quoted word back byte for byte through `printf`, a leading `=` among them (skipped where a shell is absent, and on Windows).
- It agrees with the doctor's `quote_arg` on every one of those ASCII values but a leading `=`, and its two alphabets are the doctor's two patterns.
- Under a holder in `my work` and in `Dana's work`, each of these splits into the argv it means: `init`'s NEXT (with `cd` and `make siblings` on their own lines), `add`'s NEXT, the cached-store remedy and note, the `mv` lines, and setup-project's `switch` and `add`.
  - The `rm -rf`, run as split, deletes the store, and the decoy `<tmp>/my` survives.
  - The `mv` lines, run as split, move the holder.
- The holder's own `siblings.py` runs `--help`, the misnamed-folder warning and `--make park` beside a `repo_shape.py` that lacks every name this change added.
- Three existing tests' expected lines follow the new wording.

Mutations, each turning tests red:
- a bare quoter: 35 red;
- bare `mv` lines in `siblings.py`: 3 red;
- a bare `rm -rf`, a bare `add` NEXT, a bare `init` `add` (round 1, on the 85-test file): 2 red each;
- `siblings.py` importing `shell_line` again: 1 red (the older-`repo_shape.py` test);
- `%` dropped from the POSIX alphabet: 2 red (the every-ASCII agreement and the alphabet test). The round-1 sample test passed it, 36 of 36;
- a leading `=` left bare: 10 red, among them the real-`zsh` test;
- `cd … && make siblings` back on one line: 2 red;
- setup-project's holder unquoted: 2 red.

**What was wrong.**
- AGENTS.md says each act's ONE commit lands as a pull request, and no step made the branch that pull request needs.
- After `init` the holder stands on `main`, and all three acts committed straight onto it.
- `add` printed `NEXT  git -C <holder> push -u origin <branch> && open a pull request`. No branch is called `<branch>`, so the push failed: `src refspec … does not match any`.
- `bump` and `remove` printed no NEXT at all.
- `bump-leg.py` refuses exactly this for a leg (`bump-leg-on-tracking-branch`).

**What changed** (commit 3, and the review commit after it).
- The real run of each act refuses the holder's tracking branch, the one `family.yaml` declares (`family-on-tracking-branch`), and a HEAD on no branch (`family-holder-detached`, which is what `bump-leg.py`'s `bump-leg-root-detached` refuses too).
  - The check comes after the refusals about the arguments and the holder, and before the member is read, fetched or cloned, and before anything is written.
  - The remedy is a quoted `git -C <holder> switch -c <branch>`. The branch is `family/add-<project>`, `family/bump-<id>-<sha12>` or `family/remove-<id>`, and a name that is not a plain branch word becomes `member`.
- `--dry-run` runs on any branch. On a work branch it prints where the commit would land. On the tracking branch it prints that the real run refuses there, with the refusal's code, and the `switch` command on a line of its own. The module's EXIT CODES paragraph names this as the one refusal a dry run does not make.
- Each act that commits ends with ONE pasteable line: `NEXT  git -C <holder> push -u origin <the branch it committed on>`, quoted, then `then open a pull request against <tracking>; never push to it directly`. `bump` and `remove` gain that NEXT.
- `init`'s NEXT STEPS open with the `switch` before the `add`.
- `add`, `bump` and `remove` `--help` say the branch rule, and that each ends by PRINTING the push; docs/cli.md is regenerated.
- AGENTS.md's family block gains the `switch` step before the `add`, and step 3 says the tracking branch is refused, as `family-on-tracking-branch`, and that the branch is pushed as its NEXT line says. README's InkRouter block gains the same step, and its paragraph says it. Both edits are line-neutral: AGENTS.md tightens steps 2 and 5, and README tightens the `make bootstrap` paragraph. `docs/handbook.html` mirrors the block and the sentence, and its footer names #487 and the new README blob.
- The holder's own docs, `templates/family-root/AGENTS-shape.md` and `templates/family-root/README.md`, open their add/bump/remove block with the `switch` and say the act refuses the tracking branch. `setup-project.py`'s family hand-over prints the `switch` before its `add`.
- Test fixtures that committed on `main` now commit on a branch:
  - `tests/test_family.py`'s module fixture grows the family on `family/members` and pushes that branch to the remote's `main`, as the merged pull request would leave it;
  - `test_shape_doctor.py`'s holder fixture and `test_family_add_excludes.py`'s `empty_holder` switch to a branch;
  - `test_family_add_refusals.py` changes in four places: the `NEXT` expectation, `unborn_holder`, the empty-family test, and the corrupt-HEAD test. In that last test, the tag state's branch check is answered in-process, because the test is about the rollback's reading of HEAD.

**How tested.** `tests/test_family_tracking_branch.py`, 17 tests:
- For each act, on `main`: refused, with the holder byte for byte as it was, and for `add` nothing cloned. Then the printed `switch`, run as split, makes the branch; the act goes through on it; and its printed NEXT, run as split, pushes the branch, which the remote then holds at the act's commit.
- A detached HEAD is refused.
- Dry runs on `main` and on a branch say what they should.
- A family made with `--tracking-branch trunk` refuses `add` on `trunk`; on a branch named `main` the dry run says the commit lands there for a pull request against `trunk`, the real run commits, and its NEXT pushes `main`.
- The suggested names pass `git check-ref-format --branch`.
- `init`'s NEXT STEPS open with the `switch`.
- AGENTS.md, README.md and the holder's two docs show the `switch` in the same block as, and before, the first `add`.

Mutations, each turning tests red: the branch check letting `main` through, 4 red; the NEXT line naming `<branch>` again, 3 red; `init`'s NEXT STEPS without the `switch`, 1 red; the tracking branch hard-coded to `"main"`, 1 red (the `trunk` test; every family test passed it before); the holder docs without the `switch`, 2 red; setup-project without the `switch`, 2 red.

An independent review at 10c93de gave CHANGES NEEDED (0 blockers, 1 should-fix, 6 nits). The should-fix was a holder that kept an older `scripts/repo_shape.py` through `apply --accept-local`: its new `siblings.py` could not import the shared quoter, so `make siblings`, `park` and `resume` died. The round at bb11b63 fixes it and all six nits, as described above. Re-verified at bb11b63: APPROVE WITH NITS (0 blockers, 0 should-fixes, 3 nits), with SonarCloud's quality gate OK and 0.0% new duplication. The nits were the holder README's pointer to the push (now "as its `NEXT` line says"), two Sonar smells (S1192: `refs/heads/` is now `HEADS_PREFIX`; S3415: the two expected-first assertions now put the actual value first, as the file's other 32 do), and this description's list of other pull requests. All three are fixed at 3451a56: commit 11ae0a8, then a clean merge of main 994be39. The family set gave 566 passed, 8 skipped there. GitHub's update-branch then merged main cac6bb2 as 8e1471c, and main aa4e1f5 (#508, after #490, #474 and #468) was merged as 708f3bb. There only the `docs/handbook.html` footer conflicted: it takes main's clauses, #468's (#424) included, with the README blob recomputed, and `docs/cli.md` auto-merged and passes `--check`. Main 47b1e06 (#505 and #395, after #376, #374, #384, #495, #493 and #491) was then merged as fcbc7a2, again with only the footer in conflict: main's clauses stay in main's order, this branch's (#487) moves to the end, after (#483), and the README blob is recomputed.

Every run used `/usr/bin/python3 -m pytest -q -p no:cacheprovider`, with a stub `gh` first on PATH, a bogus `GH_TOKEN`, an empty `GH_CONFIG_DIR` and git's identity blanked. Run on Linux.

- The new files alone: `test_family_init_landing.py` 9, `test_family_printed_quoting.py` 69, `test_family_tracking_branch.py` 17, all passed.

The full suite was not run locally. CI's three jobs are the check.

#505 and #395 have since landed, and both are merged here at fcbc7a2. Each of #505's family sentences was read against this branch's code, and none is false: AGENTS.md 3 and 233; README 569, 822, 1152, 1269 and 1348; the handbook 1126 and 1506. #395 landed with its test switching to `family/members` before its real `add`, as the last bullet below says, and the first run above includes it. #503 then landed as 631f087, and GitHub's update-branch merged it here as 22733ce with no conflict. Main f391e58 (#266, #509, #496 and #435) was then merged by hand as 5a2776d, again with only the footer in conflict: main's clauses stay in main's order, this branch's (#487) moves after #509's (#498), and the README blob is recomputed; `git show --remerge-diff` shows nothing else. #509's reworded sentences in AGENTS.md, README.md and the handbook were read beside this branch's, and none contradicts or repeats another. Its `setup-project.py` changes (the clone-path check, the plan line, the step-(7) backstop and `_main`) and this branch's `shell_word` lines in the hand-over do not meet, and `docs/cli.md` passes `--check`. Main 8cd7dbe (#506 and #347) was then merged by hand as 654df49, again with only the footer in conflict: this branch's (#487) moves after #506's (#462), the README blob is recomputed, and `docs/cli.md`, which both sides changed, still passes `--check`. #506's two `scripts/family.py` hunks (the `FAMILY_RULESET_HINT` import, and its print when the holder's push is refused) sit unchanged inside this branch's code, and that hint prints no path. Under `--reuse-empty-repo`, `init` still refuses its default `--into` inside a checkout of this standard (`family-landing-in-standard`) before it reads the remote, as a dry run with a stub `gh` showed. #506's sentences in AGENTS.md, README.md and the handbook are still true beside this branch's. Main d41cc29 (#402, for #277), which rewrote the doctor's NEXT lines and `tests/test_shape_doctor.py`, was then merged by GitHub's update-branch as e42ef74, with no conflict; the `holder` fixture still switches to `family/members` before its `add`. AGENTS.md stays at 490 lines and README.md at 1422.

`git merge-tree --write-tree` of 708f3bb, at 04:47Z on 2026-10-13:

- **Clean:** #503 (`fix/family-makefile-without-siblings`) and #395. Each merged tree keeps AGENTS.md at 490 lines and README.md at 1422.
- **`docs/handbook.html` footer only:** #505 (`docs/v1-accuracy`) and #491. #468 has landed and is merged here. #506 conflicts there too, and in `scaffold-project.py`, as it does with main. README.md and AGENTS.md merge clean with #505, and `setup-project.py` merges clean with #491. Whichever lands second keeps every footer clause and recomputes the README blob.
- **#395 merges clean but one of its tests fails with this branch.** `tests/test_template_text_placeholders.py::test_a_member_whose_id_yaml_would_misread_is_pinned_under_that_id` inits its own holder and runs a real `add` on `main`, which #487 refuses with `family-on-tracking-branch`. Whichever of the two lands second adds `git("switch", "-q", "-c", "family/members", cwd=root)` after that test's `init`; lane 5 is adding it on #395's own branch now, so this branch needs no change for it. (#395's head d526f76 also conflicts with this head in `tests/test_adopt_manifest_values.py`, a file this branch does not touch: that is #395 against main, which the same round resolves.)

- On Windows `shell_quoted` speaks PowerShell, the native shell this standard documents (`setup-project.py`), as the doctor's NEXT lines do. `git -C …`, `python scripts\family.py …` and `cd …` are shell-agnostic, so they get the platform's quoting, and no printed line joins two commands with `&&`, which Windows PowerShell 5.1 rejects.
- `rm -rf`, `mv` and `mkdir -p` are POSIX commands. They are quoted for a POSIX shell on every host, and the text says "in a POSIX shell (Git Bash on Windows)". PowerShell refuses `rm -rf`'s `-rf` and deletes nothing.
- The tests split a host-quoted line with a PowerShell reader on Windows and with `shlex` elsewhere, and split a POSIX-only line with `shlex` everywhere. The real-shell test is skipped on Windows.
- On Windows the tests do not execute `rm` or the `mv` lines. They delete the split path with `shutil.rmtree`, and stop after checking the `mv` argv.
- Paths: the cached store keeps git's POSIX spelling (`as_posix`), as before. Test paths are `resolve()`d, which expands an 8.3 short name such as `RUNNER~1`.
- Nothing here was run on Windows or macOS locally. The `tests-windows` and `tests-macos` CI jobs are the check; on macOS the real-shell test runs the shipped `zsh`.

- **A shipped template that imports a newer shared helper can break a holder that kept an older copy.** This change no longer does (`siblings.py` uses `shlex.join`), but nothing stops the next one: `update-shape.py apply --accept-local scripts/repo_shape.py` keeps a `repo_shape.py` that lacks a name a newly copied file imports, and `check` and the validator then read the holder as fine. The general guard is for `apply` to refuse that, as rv456 found for `bootstrap.py` and `spelled` (#456).
- **The doctor's `quote_arg` leaves a word that begins with `=` bare**, which zsh expands. `shell_quoted` quotes it; the doctor is left as it is here, and the agreement test excludes that one case.
- **The doctor and `update-shape.py` keep their own quoters.** The doctor's `quote_arg` flattens to ASCII by its report's contract, so moving it onto `repo_shape.shell_quoted` is more than an import change. `update-shape.py`'s POSIX `shlex` lines are lane 3's open #374. A test holds `shell_quoted` and `quote_arg` to one answer on every printable ASCII value but a leading `=`.
- **`family.py`'s by-hand rollback commands (#365) and its `git config -f .gitmodules` removals (#317, #360) keep `shlex.quote`.** They were already quoted, they are POSIX-only (`printf … | git update-index`), and they are worded for a POSIX shell.
- **The holder's `validate-family.py` remedies that name `family.py add`** (`member-gitlink-absent`, `member-gitlink-unnamed`) print no branch step: they are a holder copy, and the `add` they name refuses the tracking branch with its own `switch` remedy.
- **`remove`'s store note still computes `.git/modules/<path>`** rather than asking `git rev-parse --git-path`, as `add` does. In a linked worktree it therefore prints no note. That predates this change.
- **PowerShell verbs** (`Remove-Item`, `Move-Item`) are not printed for the POSIX-only commands.
- **README's `--into` sentence gives the default but not the refusal.** README.md (861) and the handbook (1246) say `--into <dir>` is the PARENT directory, "the directory you are standing in, by default". They do not say that `init` refuses that default inside a checkout of this standard (`family-landing-in-standard`). AGENTS.md item 1 says so, and the README's own example passes `--into ..`. README.md is at its 1422-line cap, so the sentence is on #459's checklist.
- **`setup-project.py`'s own `cd <clone>` line and its step-(7) backstop lines print their paths unquoted.** This change quotes only the family lines it prints. Those two predate it and #509, and they are on #459's checklist.

Reviewed independently at 10c93de: CHANGES NEEDED (0 blockers, 1 should-fix, 6 nits). The round at bb11b63 fixed the should-fix and all six nits, and its re-verification gave APPROVE WITH NITS (0/0/3), with SonarCloud's quality gate OK; those three are fixed at 3451a56. Main was then merged by GitHub's update-branch (8e1471c), by hand at 708f3bb and at fcbc7a2, where each time only the handbook footer conflicted, and by update-branch again at 22733ce (main 631f087, #503), with no conflict. CI was green there on Linux, macOS and Windows, with SonarCloud passing, but main had moved on: main f391e58 (#266, #509, #496 and #435) was merged by hand at 5a2776d, where again only the footer conflicted. CI was green there too, but main moved on again: main 8cd7dbe (#506 and #347) was merged by hand at 654df49, where once more only the footer conflicted. CI was green there as well, and main d41cc29 (#402) then came in by update-branch at e42ef74, with no conflict. CI is green on Linux and macOS, with SonarCloud passing, at e42ef74, a clean merge of main. All three OSes and SonarCloud passed at 654df49, and under Brett Heap's landing rule of 22:08:06Z (ruling 27) macOS and Windows carry over from that head. Main e6fbd74 (#515, for #514), which landed after it, touches none of its files, and the combined tree passed `tests/test_adopt_pins.py`, `tests/test_shape_doctor.py`, `tests/test_scaffold_leg_path_collisions.py`, the hygiene, AGENTS-code and CLI-reference tests, `tests/test_family_printed_quoting.py` and `tests/test_family_tracking_branch.py` (777 passed, 3 skipped).
