What did you change?

Two module docstrings say more than the code does. CodeRabbit found both on #105 — where they had been copied into MAINTAINING.md — and I fixed the copy there, but #105 merged before the commit fixing the originals landed, so master still carries them. This is that commit, unchanged.

hub_usage_snippets — "the front matter is carried over byte for byte ... and is checked to be unchanged before the push."

before = split_front_matter(card)[0].rstrip()
if split_front_matter(updated)[0].rstrip() != before:
    raise AssertionError("front matter changed")

Both sides are rstriped, so a difference in trailing whitespace alone passes the guard. The docstring now says the front matter is carried over rather than regenerated, and that the guard compares the two sides stripped of trailing whitespace.

hub_pipeline_tags — "It reports every model it could not update", and in apply(), "Every model is tried."

rows = [r for r in csv.DictReader(f) if r["pipeline_tag"]]

A row whose tag plan deliberately left empty, because nothing decided it, is filtered out before the loop: never attempted, never named in the failure list. Both docstrings now say which rows they mean, and that the plan CSV is where the rest are recorded.

Docstrings only. No behaviour changes.

Why did you make this change?

A docstring that claims a guarantee the code does not provide is worse than no docstring — someone relies on it. The byte-for-byte one in particular reads as a safety property.

---

Is your PR small enough?

Yes. Two files, comments only.

Additional Context

Follows #105. pycodestyle, black and isort are clean on both files.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Documentation now states that apply attempts only rows with tags, records empty-tag rows only in the CSV, reports failed attempts, and exits non-zero after failures. It also documents dry-run validation without writes. The usage snippets describe front matter comparison after trailing-whitespace normalization and the authentication requirements for apply and plan.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 568f6

Users may expect every tagged card to be validated during dry-run; narrow the documentation before merging.

Narrow the --dry-run validation claim.

apply does not run card.validate(...) for every tagged row. It returns before validation at Lines 411-422 when no update is needed, and it skips empty repositories at Lines 399-403. State that dry-run validates only cards that would receive an update, without writing.

Right, and fixed in 6153e33.

apply reaches card.validate only for the rows it would have changed: an empty repository returns at the has_model_files check, and an already-tagged one at if not notes, both before the dry-run branch. "runs the Hub's validator without writing" reads as though every row in the plan is checked.

Both the module docstring and apply()'s now name the cards it validates and the two kinds it skips.

Worth noting this is the same class of defect as the two the PR started with — a docstring describing the loop as if the filters above it were not there. Third one in this file.
