Pull request overview
Adds new documentation artifacts: (1) a P1 backlog row proposing mechanized “branch verification” for orchestrator commits (pre-commit hook / prompt UX / worktree-aware checks), and (2) a research-grade audit report summarizing TypeScript lint/typecheck findings under tools/**/*.ts.
Changes:
- Added
B-0191backlog row documenting the orchestrator wrong-branch commit hazard and candidate mechanizations. - Added a TS tooling quality sweep research write-up with per-file ESLint finding counts and suggested cleanup order.

Threads addressed: 1. (P2) TS file-count baseline — TS doc removed via rebase (was accidental cross-branch contamination from concurrency hazard) 2. Absolute local path in TS doc — TS doc removed via rebase 3. Regenerate docs/BACKLOG.md to include B-0191 entry 4. Pre-commit hook example — generalized branch-pattern from "*-aaron-2026-*" to "*-yyyy-mm-dd" so it doesn't embed any specific contributor name (repo tooling, not personal) 5. Pre-commit hook location — committed under tools/git-hooks/ (version-controlled, reviewable) and installed via tools/setup/, NOT directly in .git/hooks/ which is not version-controlled 6. PR scope — TS doc removed via rebase; this PR is now scoped to B-0191 alone Verified branch before commit per PR #1568 rule. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Aaron 2026-05-04: "for humans this is why oh my zsh reminds us of many things like this it has branch name in the ui" + "maybe a deliberate design/redesign on the backlog?" Substrate-encoding rule (PR #1551 + PR #1568) hasn't prevented recurrence — hazard hit twice in succession 2026-05-04, including in the rule-encoding commit itself. Mechanization is the substrate-level fix. Five mechanization candidates ranked: pre-commit hook (HIGH), branch-name in prompt (MED), worktree-aware status check (LOW-MED), bash git wrapper (LOW), ZETA_EXPECTED_BRANCH env-var convention (cross-cutting). Composes with PR #1568 (manual discipline) + PR #1551 (parent substrate) + B-0006 (memory work pattern) + B-0162 (similar pre-commit hook precedent). Pre-commit verified branch before commit per PR #1568 rule. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…nstall path; regen BACKLOG.md (#1571 reviewer + Aaron 2026-05-05 substrate-consistency catch) Aaron 2026-05-05 caught the substrate-consistency tension: B-0191 as originally written proposed git hooks under tools/git-hooks/ installed via symlink, but `memory/feedback_dst_justifies_ts_quality_over_bash_ and_harness_hooks_suffice_no_git_hooks_aaron_2026_05_03.md` (indexed in #1580 earlier this session) explicitly says git hooks are unnecessary because vibe-coders always have a harness and harness hooks suffice. Plus Aaron 2026-05-05: "i love symlinks but just an FYI nothing works right with them it always goes wrong." Revised design: - Harness hook (Claude Code PreToolUse on git-commit Bash invocations) - Implementation in TypeScript at tools/orchestrator-checks/verify-branch.ts (TS over bash per Otto-272 DST + harness-always-provides-bun) - No tools/git-hooks/ directory required - No tools/setup/ symlink install step - Per-harness wiring documented (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.) Also addresses #1571 reviewer findings: - BACKLOG.md regenerated via `BACKLOG_WRITE_FORCE=1 bun tools/backlog/generate-index.ts` (was hand-edited; now matches generator) - Cross-reference to memory/feedback_orchestrator_pre_commit_verify_branch_rule_*.md resolves cleanly after rebase on main (file was merged via #1568) - tools/git-hooks/ reference removed (no longer the design) Composes_with extended to include the harness-hooks-suffice rule and B-0017 bulk-alignment UI (Aaron's note that the original inconsistency would have been caught by the planned bulk-review mechanism). Aaron 2026-05-05 verbatim: "it fine it's something we would have caught in the bulk alignment UI on the backlog" -- so the manual fix here is bonus, not required; the systematic answer is B-0017.

Reviewer flagged that the row's last_updated stays at 2026-05-04 even though the latest revision (harness-hooks switch + symlink removal) was committed 2026-05-05. tools/backlog/README.md schema says last_updated should reflect the most recent content edit. created: 2026-05-04 unchanged (first-landing date per schema).

…#1571 reviewer feedback) Two reviewer findings: 1. "harnesses always provide the bun runtime" was wrong -- only Claude Code does; Codex / Cursor / Aider commonly have Node or Deno. Softened to: harness-runtime-may-vary; the script should use a runner-agnostic shebang or be invoked via the harness's available TS runtime; per-harness runtime audit is part of the implementation when this row ships. 2. Why-P1 said "pre-commit hook is ~50 lines of shell" but the revised section 1 design is TS, not shell. Updated to "harness pre-tool-use hook is ~30 lines of TypeScript." The third reviewer thread (last_updated stale at 2026-05-04) was based on a pre-rebase snapshot; the file already shows last_updated: 2026-05-05 from commit 6186503.

…tion cleanup (#1584) Five PRs landed in the 45min window since 04:00Z: #1571 B-0191 revised (harness-hooks not git-hooks) #1580 3 May 2026 orphan feedback files indexed #1581 CLAUDE.md razor-cadence wake-time pointer #1582 falsifiability-catch + BP EP kernel + MDL two-part code #1583 B-0006 tier-49 (36 entries compressed) Load-bearing item is Aaron's forwarded Claude.ai diagnosis catching the Pascal's-wager-inverted-into-engineering unfalsifiable bundling pattern in PR #1574. The architectural answer (BP EP kernel + MDL two-part code) and the recalibration sequence (memory unfiltered, audit at promotion boundary) preserved verbatim in PR #1582. The dialectical-unfalsifiability razor extension (PR #1577) gets its first worked-example validation here -- Test 2 was filed in anticipation of the failure mode, the failure mode fired hours later, the diagnosis landed.

…ementation) (#1585) Implements the verify-branch harness pre-tool-use hook designed in B-0191 (PR #1571 merged). Single TypeScript file under tools/orchestrator-checks/ with unit tests. Behavior: - If ZETA_EXPECTED_BRANCH is set and doesn't match `git branch --show-current`: print error to stderr, exit 1 (blocks commit when wired as a pre-tool-use hook on `git commit` Bash invocations) - If ZETA_EXPECTED_BRANCH is unset and current branch matches the worktree-suffix pattern: print INFO warning to stderr, exit 0 (informational only -- doesn't block, just nudges) - Otherwise: silent exit 0 Composes with: - memory/feedback_orchestrator_pre_commit_verify_branch_rule_aaron_2026_05_04.md (the manual discipline this mechanizes) - memory/feedback_dst_justifies_ts_quality_over_bash_and_harness_hooks_suffice_no_git_hooks_aaron_2026_05_03.md (TS-over-bash + harness-hooks-suffice; runs under bun, no git hooks needed) - memory/feedback_parallel_subagent_concurrency_lessons_cluster_aaron_2026_05_04.md (the orchestrator-CWD-bleed-over hazard this catches) Test plan covers all four behavior branches (no expectation, match, mismatch, worktree-warning). All 4 tests pass; 9 expect() calls. This closes B-0191 acceptance criterion #1 (harness pre-tool-use hook script exists) and #4 (test exists). Remaining acceptance criteria #2 (.claude/settings.json wiring) and #3 (CLAUDE.md documentation pointer) are separate follow-up PRs since they touch different files / surfaces.

Aaron 2026-05-04: oh-my-zsh-equivalent for orchestrator branch verification. Pre-commit hook + branch-name display + worktree-aware checks. 3rd-time recurrence today including the very commit landing this row — manual verify-rule outputs warning but doesn't auto-abort on chained shell commands; mechanization (pre-commit hook with hard-fail) is the substrate-level fix.
