…ease-rejected-after-dry-run message + deferred-follow-up list
Multi-AI review 2026-04-29T10:50Z packet (Amara + Claude.ai + Deepseek
+ Gemini + Ani convergent) added five corrections:
1. **Binary ledger split by direction** (Amara): the prior version
counted `binary_modified_files` direction-agnostic, which conflated
"would be erased on hard-reset" with "would be added on hard-
reset." Replaced with three buckets:
binary_acehack_only_files (status A → ERASED on hard-reset)
binary_lfg_only_files (status D → ADDED on hard-reset; not loss)
binary_modified_or_renamed_files (M/R/T → needs semantic classification)
2. **NUL-safe parsing** (Amara): replaced the Bash-only process-
substitution helper with a two-pass numstat -z + name-status -z
pipeline that handles paths with spaces / odd characters and
doesn't depend on Bash >= 4 process substitution.
3. **Lease-rejected-after-dry-run message** (Claude.ai + Amara):
when dry-run succeeds and the real push rejects the lease, the
operator's first hypothesis should be "remote moved between dry-
run and push" (expected; lease did its job), not "lease syntax
wrong" (would lead to debugging the wrong layer). Added explicit
message to the failure branch.
4. **Gate updated**: replaced `binary_acehack_only_files = 0 (binary
files exist only on LFG, OR each binary file has been classified)`
with the cleaner two-condition form:
binary_acehack_only_files = 0 (would be ERASED)
binary_modified_or_renamed_classified = all (each SAFE or FORWARD-SYNC)
5. **Deferred-follow-up list added** (Claude.ai + Amara). Four items
captured for visibility, NOT blocking 0/0/0:
- Gate-runner script (`tools/zero-zero-zero/check-gate.sh`)
- Self-reference rule for personas in operational specs (Otto-too)
- LOST recovery deferred-with-stated-condition predicate format
- Dry-run + real-push as one operator-approved unit + timestamp capture
Best blade (Amara): "Text lines can be counted. Binary files must be
classified. The gate clears only what the ledger can prove."

Pull request overview
Updates the hard-reset “active trajectory” operational doc to improve how drift is measured and gated, with special handling for binary files and clearer operator messaging around --force-with-lease behavior.
Changes:
- Splits binary-file accounting into direction-aware buckets (AceHack-only vs LFG-only vs modified/renamed).
- Reworks the ledger example to use NUL-delimited
git diff ... -zoutputs and adds explanatory notes for the binary-loss surface. - Adds deferred follow-ups list and clarifies the lease-rejected-after-dry-run operator message.
…ppet as illustrative + bump gate-runner priority Multi-AI review 2026-04-29T11:05Z (Codex P1 cluster + Copilot 5-thread cluster + Amara): my prior commit overclaimed "NUL-safe parsing throughout" while the inline awk/grep snippet has real bugs: - awk $3 with default whitespace FS breaks on paths with spaces - grep -Ff reads newline-delimited, not NUL-delimited - numstat -z rename/copy records are adds<TAB>dels<TAB>/dev/null old<NUL>new<NUL> (extra NUL fields), not one-row-per-NUL - name-status -z rename/copy rows are status<NUL>old<NUL>new<NUL> (3 fields), not the 2-field shape my parser assumed; the toggle parser desynchronizes on first rename - RS='\0' / ORS='\0' is a gawk extension; BSD awk (macOS default) lacks it - /tmp/binary-paths.nul fixed path; no mktemp + trap cleanup The CONCEPTUAL fix (split binary direction into 3 buckets) is correct and stays. The IMPLEMENTATION is now explicitly marked illustrative- only with a warning block enumerating each bug. The durable home is `tools/zero-zero-zero/check-gate.sh` (deferred follow-up, bumped to highest priority among deferred items). Stopgap rule added for this round: if binary_modified_files is non-zero, classify direction manually via `git diff --name-status -z` per file + direct `git show` evidence. Do NOT rely on the inline snippet. Best blade (Amara): "The binary hole is found. The gate condition is right. The parser still needs teeth."

Codex P1 catch — internal inconsistency: stopgap rule cited the OLD metric name 'binary_modified_files' that the rewritten script no longer emits. Fixed to reference the new gate-relevant metrics (binary_acehack_only_files OR binary_modified_or_renamed_files). Also clarified that binary_lfg_only_files is NOT a stopgap trigger (LFG-only files get ADDED on hard-reset; no AceHack content lost). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Multi-AI review (Codex P0 + Copilot 5-thread cluster) on PR #836 stayed unresolved on the inline binary-direction shell parser even after I marked it 'ILLUSTRATIVE, NOT DURABLE'. The reviewer's position is correct: an illustrative-but-broken parser left in a load-bearing doc encourages copy-paste use of code with 6 known bugs (awk default-FS path-with-spaces breakage, grep -Ff not NUL-aware, name-status -z rename-record desync, gawk-only RS, fixed /tmp path not race-safe, lfg-only-vs-modified misclassification). The disclaimer was less effective than the bugs. Removed the snippet entirely; replaced with prose pointing at: 1. The "Stopgap rule" above for binary classification this round 2. The deferred gate-runner script (tools/zero-zero-zero/check-gate.sh) as the durable home The conceptual structure (3 binary buckets) remains. The text-file ledger is straightforward enough that the prose description suffices. Re-armed auto-merge (was disarmed during this iteration). Submit- nuget CI failure is a transient GitHub API 5xx (same shape as prior github 502 incidents); will rerun the failed job. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…ns (don't conflate 'classified' with 'safe') Codex P1 catch — real and important. The prior gate said 'binary_modified_or_renamed_classified = all' which only checked that classification HAPPENED. A binary file classified NEEDS_FORWARD_SYNC would satisfy that gate even though NEEDS_FORWARD_SYNC means content must be forward-synced FIRST. Fix: split the binary-modified-or-renamed condition into three: binary_modified_or_renamed_unclassified = 0 (verdict required) binary_files_needing_forward_sync = 0 (NEEDS_FORWARD_SYNC must complete sync first) binary_files_needing_human_decision = 0 (NEEDS_HUMAN_DECISION requires maintainer call) This mirrors the text-line gate structure (unclassified=0 AND unsafe=0) applied to binary files via direct file counts.

This refers to a “shell snippet below” / “inline snippet”, but the snippet has been removed in this revision, so the wording is now misleading. Suggest rephrasing to refer to the previously-removed snippet (or delete the “below/inline” references) so readers don’t hunt for code that isn’t there.

The doc points to tools/zero-zero-zero/check-gate.sh as the durable home for the gate-runner, but that path does not exist in the repository currently. Either add the file (even as a stub) in this PR, or explicitly mark the path as planned/to-be-created and point to an existing location until it lands, to avoid a dead reference.

Inconsistent metric naming: this section references binary_modified_or_renamed_files (and implies it’s emitted by a “new script”), but the gate later keys off binary_modified_or_renamed_unclassified plus additional binary verdict buckets. Suggest aligning the names (and clarifying whether these values exist today vs are future output of the planned gate-runner) so the ledger/gate variables are unambiguous.

This bullet says the future gate-runner should emit “all 9 gate conditions”, but the gate list above currently contains 11 lines. Please reconcile the count (either adjust the bullet to match the current gate, or update the gate list/counting so it really is 9) to avoid cross-reference drift.

This doc section introduces additional direct reviewer/persona names (e.g., “Codex”, “Copilot”, “Amara”). Per docs/AGENT-BEST-PRACTICES.md “No name attribution in code, docs, or skills” (docs/AGENT-BEST-PRACTICES.md:284+), current-state docs should use role references instead of contributor/persona identifiers. Suggest rewriting these references to stable role-refs (e.g., “external reviewer”, “PR reviewer”, “harsh-critic”) and keeping named attribution confined to the allowed history surfaces.
