Scope

Adds two durable maintenance rules to docs/product-technical-gap-baseline.md and guards each with a freshness assertion. Documentation-only; no runtime, workflow, dependency, or release surface is touched. Every existing paragraph is preserved byte-identical.

Rule 1 — repository-owned false red is an owner defect

The baseline already classified false-green states as defects at the owner that generated them. It said nothing about false red, which is more expensive when the owner is this repository, because a single bad assertion fails every candidate head at once.

The observed instance: office/tests/test_python_support_contract.py asserts a literal inline list

re.search(r'python-version:\s*\[([^\]]+)\]', office_job)

while the canonical office job in .github/workflows/ci.yml declares the same supported set as a conditional expression

python-version: ${{ github.event_name == 'pull_request' && fromJSON('["3.14"]') || fromJSON('["3.11", "3.12", "3.13", "3.14"]') }}

The regex does not match, so the test asserts matrix_match is not None and reports the contract as absent rather than as changed. The failure names neither the real contract nor the real drift, and it reproduces on the protected tip itself, so it is head-independent.

The baseline now requires contract tests over workflows, manifests, and lockfiles to assert the resolved obligation and fail with the observed value, and names head-independent cross-PR redness at the same step as a contract-drift signal rather than a signal about the change under review.

This PR records the rule. It does not repair the Office assertion; that repair has an existing source writer and is not duplicated here.

Rule 2 — pull-request closure is restricted to four non-discarding outcomes

The closure rule previously covered issues only. Closing a pull request whose delta is still absent from protected main discards reviewed, tested work while leaving the underlying product gap open, and the loss is silent: the queue reports one fewer open item rather than one more unshipped capability.

The baseline now restricts pull-request closure to user direction, an empty delta against the live base, an unsafe change, or complete inheritance by a named successor. A blocked required check, an unavailable review verdict, reviewer latency, and a stalled foreign control plane suspend the merge, not the change. A premature closure is a repair finding, recovered by reopening the original writer at its exact head or by opening a successor that carries the complete delta and names the predecessor; reduction to draft or proposed preserves both the delta and the review trail, closure preserves neither.

Live-state contract preserved

Both rules are stated as durable obligations. Neither adds a SHA, run identifier, PR number, open/closed count, review verdict, or registry version, so the document's Mutable GitHub state is intentionally not embedded contract still holds and the existing freshness assertions still pass.

Verification

  • RED first: the two added assertions in src/productTechnicalGapBaselineFreshness.test.ts fail against the previous baseline text (2 failed | 3 passed).
  • GREEN after: productTechnicalGapBaselineFreshness + canonicalProductDocumentation pass, 2 files, 15 tests.
  • tsc --noEmit: passed.
  • Base is protected main at 0b88c16f14f51b54a87eb7164f0edfb06dd60902; the branch was created from that tip, not restacked over another writer.

Scoped local validation of the changed surface, not hosted acceptance. Merge remains gated on the required current-head review and scan verdicts; no bypass is requested.

Two durable maintenance rules were absent from the protected baseline and
each one cost real repository work.

A repository-owned contract test that pins the surface syntax of a workflow
rather than the value it resolves to becomes a repository-wide merge blocker
the moment the owner legitimately rewrites that surface. The Office Python
support contract asserts a literal inline `python-version: [...]` list while
the canonical job declares the same supported set as a conditional
`fromJSON` expression, so the required Office job reports the contract as
absent on every candidate head instead of reporting drift. The baseline now
classifies a repository-owned false red as an owner defect, requires
configuration contract tests to assert the resolved obligation and fail with
the observed value, and names head-independent cross-PR redness as a
contract-drift signal rather than a signal about the change under review.

The closure rule previously covered issues only. Closing a pull request whose
delta is still absent from protected `main` discards reviewed, tested work
while leaving the product gap open, and the loss is silent because the queue
reports one fewer open item rather than one more unshipped capability. The
baseline now restricts pull-request closure to user direction, an empty delta
against the live base, an unsafe change, or complete inheritance by a named
successor, states that a blocked check or absent review verdict suspends the
merge rather than the change, and records reopen-at-exact-head or
delta-inheriting successor as the repair for a premature closure.

Both rules are stated as durable obligations and carry no SHAs, counts, or
other mutable lifecycle state, preserving the document's static-baseline
contract.

Verification: the two added freshness assertions fail against the previous
baseline text and pass against this revision; the full
productTechnicalGapBaselineFreshness and canonicalProductDocumentation
suites pass (15 tests). Documentation-only change; no runtime, workflow,
dependency, or release surface is touched.

Pull request overview

OpenCode could not approve from deterministic current-head evidence because GitHub Checks have failed.

Findings

1. HIGH Current-head GitHub Checks - Fix failed required checks before approval

  • Problem: Failed same-head checks remain for ac8543f4ecc91a87f936cb57c3e1f3676c06867d.
  • Root cause: The model-unavailable evidence fallback is allowed only when peer GitHub Checks are complete and clean.
  • Fix: Read and fix the failed check logs below, then rerun the current-head checks.
  • Regression test: Keep the model-unavailable fallback gated on an empty failed-check rollup.

Addressed both current CodeRabbit findings in 945849e6:

  • the false-red contract assertion now tolerates Markdown whitespace reflow with \s+ while checking the same semantic text;
  • the successor recovery assertion now requires the successor to name the predecessor and continue the predecessor's intent, in addition to carrying the complete delta.

Fresh local verification at the new head:

  • src/productTechnicalGapBaselineFreshness.test.ts + src/canonicalProductDocumentation.test.ts: 15/15 passed;
  • pnpm typecheck: passed;
  • git diff --check: passed.

The pushed head changed, so earlier hosted reviews and checks must be regenerated for 945849e6; no predecessor evidence is being transferred.
