## Summary

`check_file` and `comment_wrap_findings` in
`.github/actions/prose-gate/prose_lint.py` compared the suffix to `.md`
case-sensitively at each Markdown-only branch, while `syntax_for`
lowercases it. A file named `NOTES.MD` therefore had its comments
extracted as Markdown and then skipped `dead-path`, `sentence-split`,
`sentence-length`, `semicolon`, `dash`, and quote-stripping, and drew
`comment-case` on an unpunctuated HTML comment `NOTES.md` is exempt
from.

A new `is_markdown(path)` reads the suffix in any case, and every
Markdown suffix test in the file now calls it, the two broken functions
and the three sites that already lowercased (`is_instruction_text`,
`comment_added_findings`, `issue_ref_findings`), so no later site can
drift back to a case-sensitive comparison. The now-redundant `elif
path.suffix.lower() != ".md"` in the `sentence-length` branch becomes a
plain `else`.

## Tests

- `TestAnUppercaseMarkdownSuffixIsMarkdown` runs a constructed case per
Markdown-only branch against both `notes.md` and `NOTES.MD`, including
`<!-- group header -->` drawing no `comment-case` and a quoted duplicate
inside an HTML comment that quote-stripping exempts.
-
`TestDeadPath.test_an_uppercase_markdown_suffix_is_judged_for_dead_paths`
pins the `dead-path` branch.
- With the fix reverted, 9 of the new subtests fail. The full
`test_prose_lint` suite passes with it.

## Summary

- Replace `directory: "/"` with `directories: ["/",
"/.github/actions/*"]` on both `github-actions` entries (main and
develop) in `.github/dependabot.yml`, so Dependabot scans each composite
action under `.github/actions/` as well as `.github/workflows`.
- Make the same change in `catalog/snippets/configs/dependabot.yml`,
with a note that a repository carrying its own composite actions under
`.github/actions` keeps the second glob.

GitHub's Dependabot options reference states that `/` for GitHub Actions
searches `/.github/workflows` and a root `action.yml`, and that
`directories` supports the `*` wildcard. The lagging composite-action
pins are left for Dependabot to raise once this lands.

The snippet adds two comment lines, so this pull request carries the
`comments` label.

## Summary

- In `.github/workflows/validate-task.yml`, a declared pip directory now
runs the ruff its venv installs, as `.venv/bin/python -m ruff`, in both
the "Lint Python step" and the "Check Python formatting step". It falls
back to `uvx ruff@latest` only where the venv lacks ruff.
- The pyright arm of the "Type check Python step" does the same:
`"$venv_python" -m pyright --pythonpath "$venv_python"` where the venv
installs pyright, else `uvx pyright@latest --pythonpath "$venv_python"`.
This matches the existing mypy branch's `find_spec` test.
- A uv directory, a lint-only directory, and an undeclared root keep
their current calls. The "Sync Python dependencies step" already builds
the venv for every declared pip directory before the lint steps run.
- `tests/test_release_guards.py`: the stub venv interpreter now answers
`find_spec` per module. A new test covers both ruff steps across
declared pip with and without venv ruff, undeclared pip, lint-only, and
uv. Two new type-check cases cover the pyright arm.
- Docs: the python-codestyle skill (SKILL.md and
`references/profiles.md`), `docs/reusable-workflows.md`, and the VS Code
tasks snippet's comment now state the precedence. Three long sentences
on the edited `docs/reusable-workflows.md` line were split.

The workflow and test changes add or edit comment lines, so this pull
request carries the `comments` label.

## Findings from the local passes

The findings listed for the first two pushes are fixed in 2e8fb46,
4129684, 769ab96, b31ea6c, and 1debbcc. The Dependabot snippet's
missing `pip` ecosystem is pre-existing and filed as #3101.

The pass over 1debbcc raised three more. Each has an outcome here:

1. `style`, declined. The pyright probe in the "Type check Python step"
repeats the mypy probe with another module name, and the two could share
one `sys.argv` probe. No existing helper does this job, and the two ruff
steps are separate `run:` scripts that cannot share one. Merging the
pair would rewrite the pre-existing mypy probe for no behavior change.
2. `style`, declined. The workflow comment "It falls back to uvx only
where the venv holds none." states the fallback condition. #2850 asks
for the precedence to be documented, and the venv-first, uvx-second
order is that precedence.
3. Declined on evidence. The reviewer counted 26 whitespace tokens in
the pre-commit header's first new sentence, or 24 with its code span as
one word. `prose_lint.py --check sentence-length` over the branch diff
reports no violation at 1debbcc.

## Summary

- `catalog/snippets/configs/dependabot.yml`: add a dual-targeted `pip`
pair, one entry for `main` and one for `develop`, in the same shape as
the `uv` pair. It is commented as kept only by a repo with a pip-form
Python directory, a `requirements*.txt` with no `uv.lock`, and carries
the same `ruff`/`pyright`/`mypy` exclude-patterns as the `uv` entries.
Its placeholder directory is `/PythonProject`, kept apart from the
lint-only Scripts profile's vocabulary.
- `spec/project-types.json`: widen the `python.scripts.uvx` assert's
build-profile clause so it names the pip form beside the uv form. The
pip form takes a tool's version from the `requirements*.txt` that
Dependabot's pip ecosystem bumps, where a directory declared in
`python-directories` installs that tool into its `.venv`.

The audit side, `spec/audit.py` cross-checking a `pip` ecosystem, stays
with #2286.

This change adds comment lines to a config snippet, which the issue asks
for, so it carries the `comments` label.

## Local review findings

- `introduced`: `.github/dependabot.yml:6` describes the snippet as
"covering nuget and uv", which no longer lists everything it covers. The
sibling list at `spec/project-types.json` `setup.dependabot.ecosystems`
("nuget/uv/npm") has the same gap. The edit budget for the opening push
was spent. **Fixed in 59f8b99**, which names pip in both lists.

## Summary

- A `spec/files.json` baseline entry may declare `alternatives`, other
paths the tool reading the file accepts it at. The `codecov.yml` entry
names `.codecov.yml`, which Codecov also reads at the repository root.
- `spec/audit.py` reads the declared path first and each alternative
only while nothing is found (`read_baseline_file`). A repo holding only
`.codecov.yml` passes the file-presence check, one holding neither gets
one LETTER naming both paths, and the intent staleness advisory is read
at the path the file was found at (`baseline_file_findings`).
- `spec/validate.py` (`alternatives_errors`) refuses a list off the
schema's shape, alternatives on anything but a whole-file presence or
intent entry, alternatives on a path a second baseline entry also names,
and an alternative that is itself a declared path.
- `spec/fidelity_honesty.py` reads a downstream copy at the same paths
through the shared helpers, and `contents_text` is now the one contents
decoder in the files this touches.
- WORKFLOW.md D1.6, `spec/fidelity-model.md`, `spec/type-model.md`, and
the Python coverage check in `spec/project-types.json` name
`.codecov.yml`. The skill copies of WORKFLOW.md section 4 are
regenerated.

## Verification

- `spec/audit.py --selftest`: new cases cover the declared path only,
the alternative only (present, staleness read at the alternative), both
(declared wins), and neither (one LETTER naming both). Reverting `found`
to `path` in `baseline_file_findings` fails the alternative case.
- `tests/test_spec_validate.py` `BaselineAlternativesCase` covers the
validator, including the live codecov entry.
- `spec/validate.py`, the full unittest suite, ruff, mypy,
`build_dist.py --check`, `prose_lint.py --diff`, markdownlint, cspell,
and editorconfig-checker pass locally.

## Local review findings

Each finding a local pass left open after its push's edit budget, with
its outcome:

- `introduced`: the `check_units` docstring said `downstream_path` is
always the entry's `path`. Fixed in 2b7f211.
- `introduced`: `fidelity_honesty.fetch` and `baseline_file_findings`
each decoded the contents response. Fixed in 2b7f211 with the shared
`contents_text`. The untouched `spec/workflow_reuse.py` copy is #3106.
- `introduced`: the `alternatives_errors` docstring gave an inaccurate
rationale, a broken wrap, and two long sentences. Fixed in 59e4057 by
cutting it to the rules it enforces.
- `introduced`: the `audit_repo` and `fidelity_pass` call sites that
pass alternatives are not tested, only the helpers they call. Deferred
to #3107, since it needs a fixture driving `audit_repo`'s baseline loop.
- Declined: the schema-shape clauses in `alternatives_errors` read as
over-hardening to one pass. `spec/validate.py` states CI runs no schema
validation, so it enforces `files.schema.json`'s shape itself, which the
PR review asked for.

## Summary

- `tests/test_audit.py` runs `spec/audit.py` `audit_repo` against a
faked `gh`, with a constructed Python repository holding `.codecov.yml`
and no `codecov.yml`. It asserts the alternative is read and that no
file-presence finding names `codecov.yml` as absent. A control case
holding neither asserts the one LETTER naming both paths, which shows
the baseline loop ran.
- `tests/test_fidelity_honesty.py` runs `spec/fidelity_honesty.py`
`fidelity_pass` against a faked `gh`, with the same repository shape
holding the canonical text at `.codecov.yml`. It asserts the copy lands
in `match` and not in `unavailable`.
- The fake raises on any read it does not expect, so a guessed answer
cannot steer either run past the code under test. The hub's tracked
paths and the canonical's git history are patched to empty, since both
walk git and fetch the hub's origin, which a shallow CI checkout
refuses.

## Verification

- Reverting `alternatives.get(path, [])` to `[]` at the `audit_repo`
call site fails both `test_audit` cases. Reverting
`alternatives.get(down_path, [])` to `[]` at the `fidelity_pass` call
site fails the `test_fidelity_honesty` case. With the argument restored,
all three pass.
- The three tests pass with `audit._hub_main_rev` and
`audit._require_full_history` replaced by functions that raise, so no
fetch or history read is reached.
- `python3 spec/audit.py --selftest`, `python3 spec/validate.py`, and
`python -m unittest discover -s tests` pass, and ruff format, ruff
check, mypy, and the prose gate are clean.
- Local strict review: two passes. The first raised three findings (two
hermeticity defects and one sentence length), all fixed in db9db6b. The
second raised 0.

## Summary

- Adds `catalog/snippets/workflows/test-pull-request-smoke.yml`, the
release-with-smoke `test-pull-request.yml` caller, pinned to
`6c88850128629bb449fd73c7fbf82968c6cd1557 # 2.0.587`, the release the
`publish-release.yml` snippet pins. At that tag `build-release-task.yml`
declares every input the smoke job passes and defaults each `enable_*`
input true, as the stub's comment says.
- `docs/reusable-workflows.md` "Adopting the Gates" links the snippet,
and its stub block is now that snippet byte for byte, so the
`@<hub-main-commit-sha> # <release-tag>` placeholder pins are gone from
it. The Stage 2 snippet item is ticked. The wrapped
`base_ref`/`ref_name` comment is split to one sentence per line in both
copies.
- `catalog/snippets/workflows/README.md` lists the snippet, and no
longer names "Adopting the Gates" as holding stub shapes without one.
- `tests/test_release_guards.py` adds a test holding the doc block and
the snippet byte-identical, sharing a `yaml_blocks` helper with the
existing `publish-release.yml` check.

Placeholders in the other shapes (the `validate` input fragments, the
pure-function and type-specific stubs) are unchanged, since the issue
asks only for this shape's snippet.

The new snippet's comments are moved verbatim from the doc stub, so this
pull request carries the `comments` label.

Closes on promotion: #2854

## Local review findings listed at opening

The local strict review's two-round edit budget was spent on the opening
push, so these two went to this pull request's review loop. Both are now
closed:

- `introduced`, design: `yaml_blocks` used a regex rather than
`fenced_blocks`. **Fixed in 587f53a**, which builds it on
`fenced_blocks` and names `docs/reusable-workflows.md` in that scanner's
docstring.
- `introduced`, design: the new test's
`assertNotIn("<hub-main-commit-sha>", stub)` overlapped the repo gate's
`sha-pin` check. **Fixed in 587f53a**, which drops it.

## Test plan

- `python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -p test_release_guards.py`: 27
tests OK. Changing the snippet's pin comment or `smoke: true` fails the
new test.
- `scripts/prose_lint.py --diff origin/develop` with comments allowed,
`scripts/repo_gate.py` (sha-pin resolved 8 pins), `spec/validate.py`,
`spec/workflow_reuse.py --selftest`, `scripts/build_dist.py --check`,
ruff, mypy: clean.
- `scripts/docker_lint.py` markdownlint, cspell, editorconfig-checker,
actionlint: clean.

## Summary

The Actions runner reads a stdout or stderr line as a workflow command
in two ways, and a tracked name or a file's own text could reach either
one through the output of both doc gates.

- **The current form** opens on `::` once the runner trims leading
whitespace, so the indent in front of a `repo_gate.py` finding gives no
protection.
- **The legacy form** is `##[` anywhere in the line. The runner's
`ActionCommand.TryParse` finds it with `IndexOf` and still runs it when
a registered command name follows up to `]`. The issue did not name this
form, and it is fixed here as well.

## Changes

- `repo_gate.py`'s `printable()` now spells the colon opening such a
line as `\x3a`, and the bracket of each `##[` as `\x5b`. That matches
how it already spells each control character. Every finding and note
passes through it, so no call site changed.
- `prose_lint.py` gains the same `printable()`, control escaping
included, and applies it to every line carrying a path or file text.
That covers the finding line, `--list-files`, the scope note, the
summary's per-file lines, the filesystem-walk warning, and the error
lines that quote paths or the diff base. The finding line opened on the
raw tracked name with no indent, so a name opening on `::` forged a
command there directly. A name holding a newline also printed raw, which
let it start a line of its own.
- The prose gate's composite action echoed each line of the tracked
`.github/prose-gate-excludes` raw, before `prose_lint.py` ran. A fork
controls that file, so an exclusion holding `##[`, or a carriage return
followed by `::`, forged a command there. The echo now spells the
bracket as `\x5b` and a carriage return as `\x0d`.
- `tests/runner_commands.py` models which lines the runner would pass to
a command parser. It follows the runner's two parsers rather than the
gates' own escaping. Both gates' tests use it, through `printable()` and
through a real run over tracked names built to forge each form. The run
covers the finding lines, `--summary`, `--list-files`, and a name the
scope note prints on stderr. A parity test keeps the two gates'
`printable()` copies equal, since each gate is fetched downstream as one
file and cannot import the other.

## Design choice

The issue left a choice: neutralize the printed lines, or wrap the
findings in a `::stop-commands::` block with a random token. This change
neutralizes the lines, for three reasons:

- Neutralizing covers the legacy `##[` form along with the `::` form, in
a single helper each gate already routes its output through.
- The output stays deterministic, so a test can check it without a
runner, and a local run shows no token lines.
- A `stop-commands` block depends on its resume line being printed. A
gate killed mid-run would leave command processing off for the rest of
the step, and that includes the composite action's own `::error::`
lines.

## Verification

- The new tests fail with the two neutralizing lines removed from both
gates (14 failures). Removing a single call site also fails a test: the
finding line's, the `--summary` line's, or the `--list-files` line's
`printable()`, or either substitution in the action's echo.
- `python3 -m unittest discover -s tests` passes with 2867 tests and 7
skipped. ruff format, ruff check, and mypy are clean, as are
`prose_lint.py --diff origin/develop`, `repo_gate.py`, and
`spec/validate.py`.

- actionlint, run through `scripts/docker_lint.py`, is clean.
- The local strict review ran three rounds. Round 1 found the action's
echo and the untested output modes. Round 2 found the carriage-return
route. Round 3 raised no findings.

## Follow-up

- #3115 moves the release-guard tests' inline command check onto
`tests/runner_commands.py`. That check misses a command line led by
whitespace.

## Summary

States the subprocess encoding rule where a fleet carrier reads Python
style: every text-mode `subprocess` call names its `encoding`, and what
a byte outside that encoding is worth is a per-call `errors` decision,
the strict default deciding it by raising.

`CODESTYLE.md`'s Python section is a pointer to the `python-codestyle`
Skill, so the rule goes under "Patterns to avoid" in
`.agents/skills/python-codestyle/references/code-style.md`, which the
pointer's scope sketch already names. The pointer itself needs no
change. The rule carries its reason: below Python 3.15, outside UTF-8
Mode, an unnamed encoding falls to the locale encoding, usually UTF-8 on
Linux and the ANSI code page on Windows, so a child writing UTF-8 is
misread or rejected on any non-UTF-8 host, and no static check in the
ruff, pyright, or mypy toolchain looks for the omission. The call names
the encoding its child uses on that pipe, in both directions. It states
the rule rather than this repository's own test, since a carrier gets
the rule and not the mechanism.

The generated distributions are regenerated with
`scripts/build_dist.py`.

## Verification

- `python3 scripts/build_dist.py --check`: current.
- `python3 scripts/prose_lint.py --diff <merge-base>`, with and without
`--check sentence-length`: clean.
- `python3 scripts/docker_lint.py` for markdownlint, cspell, and

- `python3 spec/validate.py`: OK.
- `local-strict-review`: round 1 raised 3 findings (a sentence over the
length limit, the reason unbounded by UTF-8 Mode and Python 3.15, and an
"only guard" claim that did not follow), all fixed in 9dbef04. Round 2
raised none. CodeRabbit's locale finding was fixed in 1974fa9, and the
passes after it raised two more (a misread tied to the host rather than
the child, and a rule covering only the read direction), fixed in
e0af782 and 11691d4. The final pass, on 11691d4, raised none.

## Summary

Fixes the two live findings of #1416.

- **Item 1.** `docs/pr-reviewer-reference.md` named the hub-only
`.agents/skills/pr-review-conduct/SKILL.md` path as the home of a rule
"carried into repositories that hold no copy of this file". The carried
tree is the generated `.github/skills`, so the sentence now names the
`pr-review-conduct` skill without a path, the form `AGENTS.md` uses for
hub-local skill paths. Its sentence and the paragraph's first sentence
are split, since the sentence-length check flagged both on the edited
line.
- **Item 2.** The `pr-review-conduct` frontmatter description said "when
a reviewer looks missing or skipped". The review is what gets skipped,
so it now reads "when a review looks missing or skipped". The section
body no longer carries the wrong noun, so only the description changes.
- **Item 3 is already fixed on develop.** The skip-notice bullet already
says to comment "the reviewer's documented review command", which ties
the trigger to the reviewer that posted the notice, so it is left
unchanged.

The generated `.github/skills` and `.claude-plugin` trees are
regenerated with `scripts/build_dist.py`.

## Summary

- `build-docker-task.yml`'s `docker-build-base` job now runs the same
"Require Docker Hub credentials" and "Login to Docker Hub" steps the
`build-docker` job carries, ahead of the caller's hook. A composite
action cannot read `secrets`, so before this a hook asked to push its
base image had no credentials to push with.
- The hook now also receives `branch` and `platforms`, the platform list
the core builds the product images for, so a base build matches them
rather than inferring them from `push`. The selection moves from the
`build-docker` job's `env` to workflow-level `env`, so both jobs read
one value. The handoff named `branch` and `smoke`, the issue offered
either those or the resolved platforms, and the local review pass found
`smoke` would make each hook re-derive a selection the file header says
is decided once here. A composite action also reads that boolean as a
string, so a hook copying the core's expression would never select
multi-arch.
- `docs/reusable-workflows.md` "The Docker Family" states the hook
contract: the login before the hook, the four inputs it receives, and
that the hook sets up its own QEMU and Buildx for a multi-arch list.
- A caller hook declaring only `push` and `ref` gets a runner
"Unexpected input(s)" warning until it declares the two new inputs, and
the run does not fail.

A live Docker Hub push cannot be exercised from a local session, so
verification is actionlint, markdownlint, editorconfig-checker, the
prose and repo gates, `spec/validate.py`, and the unittest suite.

Closes on promotion: #1892

Reconciles the hub's records for VSCode-Server-DotNetCore after its
resync, each change checked against the live `main` of that repository.

- Deletes the stale `driftNotes` entry in `registry/repos.json`, since
`main` calls the hub's `publish-docker-readme-task.yml` and keeps no
local copy.
- Ticks the Stage 3 `get-version-task.yml`, Stage 4 "vanilla Docker
only", and Stage 5 `publish-docker-readme-task.yml` items in
`docs/reusable-workflows.md`, and drops a `delete-branch: true`
qualifier from the merge-bot item that `main` does not set.
- Regenerates `reports/workflow-reuse.md`.
- Rewrites `reports/vscode-server-dotnetcore/audit.md` from a
`spec/audit.py` run at hub `ddaeefb4` against `main`, 0 defect, letter,
or error findings.

Local strict review: two rounds, all findings fixed.

## Summary

`scripts/pr_review.py` read CodeRabbit's rate limit only from the
auto-review notice's `auto-generated comment: rate limited by <service>
-->` marker. An explicit `@coderabbitai review` that CodeRabbit cannot
run comes back in a second shape, an `auto-generated reply` marker over
an `Action not completed` block saying `Review rate limited.`. That
shape never matched. On a repository where CodeRabbit never
auto-reviews, it is the only rate limit the digest can meet, so
`other_rate_limited` read the same for "asked and limited" as for "never
asked".

- `RATE_LIMITED_REPLY` reads the reply shape from its markers and the
block's fixed text alone, never the prose around them.
- `rate_limited_by` checks the existing marker first, then the reply
shape. The reply's marker says `CodeRabbit` rather than `coderabbit.ai`,
so `RATE_LIMIT_SERVICE` names the service by login. That gives the same
`other_rate_limited=coderabbitai:coderabbit.ai` reading as the
auto-review notice. A login missing from that map stays unread.
- Tests in `tests/test_pr_review.py` cover these cases, all built from
constructed comment bodies:
- the reply shape reading as rate limited, both through
`rate_limited_by` and through the digest field
  - the auto-review marker reading as before
- an ordinary CodeRabbit summary marker, and two near misses, reading as
not rate limited
  - an unmapped login's reply staying unread

  With the reply branch disabled, the new tests fail.

The issue's side question, whether a limit with no stated retry time
should read differently from one with a countdown, is out of scope here,
and that reading is unchanged.

Closes on promotion: #1425

## Local review findings from the opening push

The pre-push pass's edit budget was spent on the opening push. It left
these `introduced` findings open. Each is fixed in 243f674, and the
pass over that push raised none:

- `introduced`: scripts/pr_review.py, three `#` comments near
`RATE_LIMITED` and in `digest` still describe one marker shape and
service names taken from the marker.
- `introduced`: scripts/pr_review.py, in the `rate_limited_by`
docstring, "both observed shapes ride a plain PR comment" is given as
the reason for reading both connections, which it does not support.
- `introduced`: tests/test_pr_review.py, a test docstring says the reply
"names no service", which contradicts the code docstring.

…aders (#3130)

## Summary

`bootstrap.ps1 -Agents ALL` took the `all` keyword because PowerShell's
`-contains` ignores case, while `bootstrap.sh --agents ALL` passed `ALL`
through and `install-agents.sh` refused it as an unknown tool. The
Windows side now matches Linux: the keyword check in `bootstrap.ps1`
uses `-ccontains`, and the tool-name comparisons in `install-agents.ps1`
(`Get-Tool`, `Resolve-Selection`) use `-ceq`, `-cnotcontains` and
`-ccontains`, so only lowercase `all` is the keyword and a tool name in
another case is refused.

## Behavior of `ALL` on Windows after the change

`bootstrap.ps1 -Agents ALL` hands `-Install ALL` to
`install-agents.ps1`, which refuses it with `Unknown tool "ALL"`, the
same refusal Linux gives. `-Agents Herdr` is refused the same way
instead of being accepted.

## Tests

- `tests/test_bootstrap.py`: `ALL` and `All` hand off as tool names on
both the bash and the PowerShell loaders.
- `tests/test_install_agents.py`: `Herdr` is refused as unknown on both
sides.
- Reverting the PowerShell change makes the PowerShell handoff test and
the `-Report Herdr` refusal fail, and the change restores them.
- Run: `tests/test_bootstrap.py` and `tests/test_install_agents.py` pass
(171 tests, 5 skipped Windows-only), with PowerShell tests run under
Linux pwsh, not Windows. The local review pass ran on the first commit,
and the second commit only tightened the new tests to compare the whole
step list, per its findings.

Filed from the review: #3129 (a dash-prefixed `-Agents` name binds
`-All` on both platforms, pre-existing).

## Windows-native check still owed

Not run on Windows. For the maintainer, from a hub checkout in pwsh:

```powershell
./host-setup/bootstrap.ps1 -Agents ALL -DryRun   # expect: Unknown tool "ALL"
./host-setup/bootstrap.ps1 -Agents all -DryRun   # expect: -Install -All, every tool named
```

## Summary

Fixes #3137. A `bootstrap.ps1` run typed at an interactive pwsh prompt
runs inside the caller's own process, so the lock stream
`Lock-Directory` opened was left for the process to release and outlived
the run. The next run in that session was refused the lock, with an
error blaming "another bootstrap run".

- `Unlock-Directory` disposes `$script:LOCK` and clears it.
- `main`'s `finally` calls it after the cleanup, as `try {
Invoke-Cleanup } finally { Unlock-Directory }`, so the cleanup still
runs under the lock and the release happens even if the cleanup throws.
- `die`'s path is covered by the same `finally`, since PowerShell runs a
`finally` on `exit` from inside a function (checked under pwsh 7.6 and
Windows PowerShell 5.1). Every `exit` before `Lock-Directory` holds no
lock.
- The stale `$LOCK` comment ("lasts until this process ends") is
removed.

`bootstrap.sh` takes its flock in its own process and is unaffected.

## Test


`test_a_run_ending_inside_its_callers_process_releases_the_directory_lock`
drives two runs in one pwsh process through a driver script, the first
through the loader's own `main` ending in `die`, the second taking
`Lock-Directory` in the same mode. It fails against the pre-fix loader
with the issue's "Could not lock" error, and passes with the fix. The
harness's extracted function list gains `Unlock-Directory` and `main`.

Verified on Windows: `test_bootstrap` and `test_cli_usage` pass,
PSScriptAnalyzer and ruff are clean, and the local strict review pass is
recorded at the head.

## Comments

This carries the `comments` label for the two new comment lines above
`Unlock-Directory` and the one in `main`'s `finally`, each stating a
reason the code alone does not show.

## Summary

The write guard found a gh write by matching `gh <command> <subcommand>`
as adjacent text. It read a target only from `-R`, `--repo`, and their
attached forms. That left six holes in one class, each a gh write whose
target or subcommand it misread. This change gives the guard one reading
in place of six local patches.

- **The subcommand is found the way cobra finds it** (`_gh_path`). The
reading goes past each flag before the command and before the
subcommand, and an unknown flag takes the next word as its value. A
write is then looked up in one table, `_GH_WRITE_SUBS`, which the old
text pattern is now built from. This closes the misses where a repo flag
sits before the command (#3093) or between `pr` and its subcommand
(#3080). It also reads `gh pr --squash 5 merge "$(...)"` as the merge it
is, and `gh --hostname github.com api -X POST ...` as the `gh api` call
it is.
- **An `R` in a short-option cluster is read as a target**, as pflag
reads `-dR x` as `-d -R x` (#3067). Each cluster is read by the value
options its own subcommand defines, so `-BRelease/2.0` stays a base
branch.
- **`GH_REPO` is a target** (#3089). It is read through the
`_command_prefix`, `_export_assignments`, and `_wrapper_env_assignments`
primitives the git readings use. A prefix reaches only the gh word it
prefixes, an `export` reaches only the gh words after it, and a repo
flag on the argv overrides it, as gh reads it.
- **A run-time repository owner on a write fails closed** (#3079). That
covers `--repo "$T"`, `GH_REPO="$T"`, and `repos/$O/...`. A literal
owner, as in `--repo "example/$R"`, is compared as usual, since the
owner is all rule 3 compares. A read naming a run-time repository, and
heredoc data, are left alone.
- **A run-time word where `pr` or `merge` goes may be a merge** (#3069).
It fails closed beside a literal `--admin`, or where word splitting may
split it, as in `gh pr $S 5`. So does a run-time command word before `pr
merge`, as in `G=gh; $G pr merge` or `$(which gh) pr merge`, and a
run-time word read before `pr merge`, as in `gh $REPO_ARGS pr merge 5`.
A quoted single word in exactly the `pr` or `merge` slot, with no
`--admin`, is read as the one word it is.

gh's reading was checked live with read-only calls on gh 2.102. An
unknown flag before a subcommand takes the next word, as `gh pr --json
number view 1` runs `view`. `--help` is the only boolean inherited at
the `pr` level. `--` ends the subcommand search.

## Differential

develop's guard and this branch's `classify` were run over 1,821
constructed commands. Origin was `example/repo`, with empty branch
rules, no aliases, and no config. The commands cover gh writes and
reads, including `pr merge`, `create`, `comment`, `edit`, `view`,
`list`, `diff`, `checks`, `issue` writes and reads, `release`, `label`,
and `api` reads and mutations. Each carries repo flags in every position
and spelling, clusters, `GH_REPO` prefixes, exports, `env` forms,
run-time words in every position, heredocs, and wrappers. 461 verdicts
flip, every one explained below.

| Issue | Flip | Count | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| #3093 | allow -> deny | 54 | `gh -R stranger/example pr merge 5
--squash` |
| #3080 | allow -> deny | 50 | `gh pr -R stranger/example merge 5
--squash` |
| #3067 | allow -> deny | 30 | `gh pr merge 5 --squash -dR
stranger/example` |
| #3089 | allow -> deny | 135 | `GH_REPO=stranger/example gh pr merge 5
--squash` |
| #3079 | allow -> deny | 167 | `gh pr create --title t --body b --repo
"$T"` |
| #3069 | allow -> deny | 21 | `gh pr $S 5 --admin` |
| gh's own reading | deny -> allow | 4 | `gh --foo pr merge 5 "$X"` |

The #3093 row counts one wrapper case and two `api` writes whose flags
precede `api`. One case in the #3089 row is a known over-deny, listed
under Remaining Findings below.

Two reads flip to deny, each the #3069 shape. In `for s in view diff; do
gh pr $s 5; done` the unquoted `$s` where the subcommand goes may split
into `merge --admin`. In `gh pr "$s" "$PR"` the `$PR` beside a possible
merge may be `--admin`. The deny says how to write each out. `gh pr "$s"
5` and every common read with a run-time number, such as `gh api
repos/example/repo/pulls/$N` and `gh pr view $PR`, stay allowed.

The four deny-to-allow flips are each a command gh itself refuses.
develop read them as merges because it took the first word after `pr`'s
flags as the subcommand.

- `gh --foo pr merge 5 "$X"`: `--foo` takes `pr` as its value, so gh
fails with an unknown command, `merge`.
- `gh pr --squash merge 5 "$X"` and `gh pr -d merge 5 "$X"`: the flag
takes `merge` as its value, so `5` is an unknown command.
- `gh pr -- merge 5 "$X"`: `--` ends the search, so gh fails with an
unknown command.

## Tests

`_GH_PATH_CASES` adds 55 `classify` cases, origin `example/repo`, 32
expecting a deny and 23 an allow.

- With the fix reverted to develop's guard, 33 of them fail. Four of
those are the allow cases pinning the shapes gh refuses, which develop
denied.
- 16 more each fail on the branch commit before the review fix they pin,
while develop passes them. They cover a run-time name under a literal
owner, `GH_REPO` scoping, heredoc data, the merge slot, cluster value
letters, and common reads with an unquoted run-time endpoint word. Some
are denies develop already gave that an earlier branch commit lost, such
as `gh $REPO_ARGS pr merge 5 $MERGE_FLAGS`.
- The other 6 are allow cases on reads and arguments, guard rails that
pass everywhere.

Gates run locally on the final commit: ruff check and format, mypy, the
unittest suite, `spec/audit.py --selftest`, `spec/workflow_reuse.py
--selftest`, `gh-write-guard.py --selftest`, `test_install.py`,
`build_dist.py --check`, `canonical_review.py status`, `repo_gate.py`,
both prose invocations and the diff-scoped one, the jq sweep,
`spec/validate.py`, and `docker_lint.py`.

## Local Review

Seven frontier passes ran, each recorded: three before the opening push,
three before the first fix push, and one before the second. Every
`introduced` finding is fixed, declined, or filed below. Declined with
reasons:

- **Mid-cluster `R` and `-dR=` forms**, flagged as over-hardening. #3067
lists `-sdRstranger/example` itself.
- **A literal `GH_REPO` on a read compared across the whole command.**
This matches develop's reading of a literal `-R` on a read.
- **The comment naming `_is_gh_write` for `gh api` handling.**
`_is_gh_write` still reaches it, through `_gh_argv_is_write`.
- **A run-time target with no resolvable origin.** Requirement 3 states
it does not fire without an origin, for a literal target as much as a
run-time one.
- **The argv built per `$` token.** It costs about a second at 1,500
variables, far past any agent command.
- **A possible write through a quoted run-time subcommand reaching rule
1**, as `gh pr "$S" 5 2>/dev/null` does. Reading a possible write as a
write is the design, and the `_is_gh_write` docstring states it.

Filed as `introduced` rather than fixed here, each a low-realism edge of
a new reading:

- #3144: a `GH_REPO` reaching one wrapper is read in every wrapper body,
so `bash -c 'gh issue comment 5 --body hi'; GH_REPO=stranger/example
bash -c 'gh pr view 5'` is denied.
- #3145: the merge deny message omits a quoted run-time word where gh
itself goes from its allowed shapes, `gh api`'s older `:owner`
placeholder is unread, and a `[HOST/]OWNER/REPO` value is split at its
first slash, as develop already does for `--repo`.

Filed as gaps develop already has: #3131, #3132, #3133, #3134, #3136.
The new cluster reader is noted on #3071 as a site for its shared
primitive.

📝 Walkthrough

The pull request updates validation and release workflows, gate output handling, GitHub write-guard parsing, bootstrap behavior, review rate-limit detection, and baseline-file auditing. It also updates related configuration, snippets, documentation, tests, and audit reports.

Changes: Gate output handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Escape gate output
.github/actions/prose-gate/action.yml, .github/actions/prose-gate/prose_lint.py, .github/actions/repo-gate/repo_gate.py, tests/runner_commands.py
Gate output escapes command-shaped text, control characters, invalid UTF-8 surrogates, and unsafe paths. Markdown suffix detection is case-insensitive. Tests cover these cases and uppercase .MD files.

GitHub write guard

Layer / File(s) Summary
Parse GitHub commands and targets
host-setup/agent-safety/claude/gh-write-guard.py
The guard parses gh command paths and API calls and reads repository targets from flags, short-option clusters, API paths, and GH_REPO.
Handle runtime commands and merge targets
host-setup/agent-safety/claude/gh-write-guard.py, host-setup/agent-safety/README.md, host-setup/agent-safety/claude/README.md
The guard identifies runtime command words and uncertain merge forms, denies writes with unreadable runtime owners, and adds self-tests. The safety documentation describes these cases.

Python tool selection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Document Python tool precedence
.agents/skills/python-codestyle/*, catalog/snippets/vscode-tasks-python.json, catalog/snippets/pre-commit/.pre-commit-config.yaml, docs/reusable-workflows.md, spec/project-types.json
The guidance and snippets describe environment-first Ruff and Pyright selection for declared pip projects, uvx fallbacks, and requirements-pinned tool versions. The Python style reference adds subprocess encoding guidance.
Run tools from declared environments
.github/workflows/validate-task.yml, tests/test_release_guards.py
Validation uses installed Ruff and Pyright from declared pip environments when available. Tests cover installed and missing tools, subdirectories, and project types.
Track Python and action dependencies
.github/dependabot.yml, catalog/snippets/configs/dependabot.yml
Dependabot configurations add composite-action directory coverage and pip updates for /PythonProject.

Baseline file alternatives

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define alternative paths
spec/files.schema.json, spec/files.json, spec/fidelity-model.md, spec/project-types.json, spec/type-model.md, WORKFLOW.md, .agents/skills/workflow-ci-contract/references/d-guarantees.md
The baseline schema and manifest allow alternative paths for whole-file presence and intent checks. The codecov.yml entry accepts .codecov.yml; related coverage requirements and documentation are updated.
Read declared paths and alternatives
spec/validate.py, spec/audit.py, spec/fidelity_honesty.py, spec/workflow_reuse.py
The validator checks alternative declarations. Audit and fidelity readers try the declared path before alternatives and share content decoding.
Verify alternative lookup and validation
tests/test_audit.py, tests/test_fidelity_honesty.py, tests/test_spec_validate.py, spec/audit.py
Tests cover valid and invalid declarations and alternative-only files at the audit and fidelity call sites.

Release and smoke workflows

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pass platform and credentials to the base hook
.github/workflows/build-docker-task.yml, docs/reusable-workflows.md
The Docker task selects platforms at workflow scope, checks Docker Hub credentials, logs in, and passes branch and platform values to the base-image hook.
Add the pinned smoke caller
catalog/snippets/workflows/test-pull-request-smoke.yml, catalog/snippets/workflows/README.md, docs/reusable-workflows.md, tests/test_release_guards.py
The smoke caller filters release changes, validates, conditionally runs a smoke build, and checks job results. Documentation and tests cover the snippet and released workflow pins.
Update workflow adoption records and report
docs/reusable-workflows.md, reports/workflow-reuse.md
The rollout tracker records adoptions and released pins. The generated report updates workflow and repository totals, variants, and repo-local workflow listings.

Bootstrap locking and tool selection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Release the lock and match the all keyword
host-setup/bootstrap.ps1, tests/test_bootstrap.py
The PowerShell bootstrap releases its directory lock after cleanup. Only lowercase all selects the install-all path; tests cover lock reuse and mixed-case tool names.
Require exact tool-name casing
host-setup/windows/install-agents.ps1, tests/test_install_agents.py
Windows tool validation and selection require exact casing. Linux and Windows tests cover mixed-case unknown names.

Review rate-limit detection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Recognize CodeRabbit rate-limit replies
scripts/pr_review.py, tests/test_pr_review.py
The status helper recognizes CodeRabbit’s auto-generated rate-limit reply and maps the commenter login to the configured service. Tests cover the recognized format and unrelated replies.
Update reviewer guidance
.agents/skills/pr-review-conduct/SKILL.md, docs/pr-reviewer-reference.md
The skill text refers to a missing or skipped review. The reviewer reference names the rule without specifying its skill-file path.

Repository audit records

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update resync audit and registry
reports/vscode-server-dotnetcore/audit.md, registry/repos.json
The audit report updates the branch comparison, dimension results, and findings. The registry removes its prior Docker README drift note.

Explanation

The pull request includes changes that are not connected to the listed linked-issue objectives. The summary for host-setup/agent-safety/claude/gh-write-guard.py includes separate Git primary-checkout handling for GIT_WORK_TREE, GIT_DIR, and aliases. The linked guard issues address gh write parsing and target checks, not these Git changes. The summary for spec/type-model.md also changes tests-aware coverage semantics, while [#2996] requires only acceptance of .codecov.yml as an alternative. These changes are not supporting tests or required documentation for the stated objectives.

Answers to the Review findings: list in the first Copilot round on 4ce0bf5. The digest counts 5 entries pairing with no thread (5), since the list names no file. Three of them are the round's own threads, answered there, and two have no thread and are answered here.

  1. "P2 moderate (1 vote): add regression coverage for Docker base-build credentials and hook inputs." Deferred to Test the Docker Task Workflow's Credential Check, Login, and Hook Inputs #3148 (pre-existing). No test under tests/ names .github/workflows/build-docker-task.yml on main or on develop, so the build-docker job's own credential check and login, which main already ships, carry no test either. Test the Docker Task Workflow's Credential Check, Login, and Hook Inputs #3148 asks for one structural test covering both jobs and the hook inputs.
  2. "P2 nit (1 vote): update stand-up guidance for .codecov.yml." No change needed. STANDUP.md section 2 copies each spec/files.json entry to its declared path, which for this entry is codecov.yml, so a stood-up repository gets that name. .codecov.yml is an alternative an existing repository may already use, which the audit accepts per spec/fidelity-model.md, and the stand-up never writes it.
  3. "P1 moderate (2 votes): retain Dependabot updates for ruff, pyright, and mypy." Disproven, in its thread: exclude-patterns removes the tools from the group, and Dependabot still opens a single pull request for each.
  4. "P1 critical (3 votes): include inherited GH_REPO in write-target checks." Deferred to Read an Inherited GH_REPO From the Session Environment in the Write Guard #3147 (pre-existing), in its thread: main's guard allows the same command.
  5. "P1 moderate (3 votes): treat directory responses as absent baselines and continue to alternatives." No change needed, in its thread: declined under "Trust Boundaries and Hardening Effort".

Merge Gate item 2 on head 4ce0bf5: pr_review.py status exits 45 here, since the Copilot round on this head states no coverage and its file table leaves out two changed files. The promotion case of item 2 is read from each promoted pull request's own coverage at its merged head, as pr_review.py status <n> reports it:

PR Merged head Coverage
#3135 3a4204f local (attested pass)
#3139 ecc9d5e table
#3130 491d9c1 table
#3128 c2ac919 local (attested pass)
#3126 e0d49d9 carried:table

#3100 1debbcc local (attested pass)
#3098 d685e0b table
#3096 0da1bd2 table

Each reports refusal=no and shapes=ok. #3130's Needs a closer look headline was answered on that pull request. Every thread here is resolved and every check passes, so exit 45 is the only reason this promotion does not read ready. Item 5, the maintainer's permission to merge, is still owed.

- Around line 2819-2836: Update _gh_run_time_target to inspect the endpoint
returned by _gh_api_path for each argument list and deny write commands when the
endpoint’s owner segment is a run-time word. Limit this check to actual gh api
endpoints, and preserve the existing behavior for read commands and other path
candidates.

Correction to the reply on the smoke snippet thread: #3113 copied that YAML from docs/reusable-workflows.md rather than moving it, and develop's doc still carries it at line 358. The disposition stands, since main's copy of that doc already holds the same trigger and gate, and #3149 now says so.
