Closes #122.

Two shipped fix: lines that resolved against the registry — so #119's doc-fixes and doc-commands checks passed them — and still did the wrong thing when run. The checks verify an invocation parses; they cannot verify it does what its sentence says. That gap is the whole of this change.

1. x db branch ls --json created a database instead of listing one

The planned x branch handed out that exact line as its fix:. cmd-db.ts fell through — any unrecognised subcommand became a branch name — so an agent following the fix verbatim cloned a database called <source>_branch_ls. It ended up with one more branch than it started with, and no listing.

x db branch now takes a verb from a closed set: ls | create <name> | drop <name>. Verb-first is the only shape where a name cannot be read as a subcommand — and every one of those three verbs is itself a legal branch name, which is pinned.

The repo already documented this surface and contradicted itself about it. Four shipped fix: lines — in @ultimat3/db's own error registry, its README, and a test — spelled x db branch create|drop <name> for commands that did not exist, while wiki/Error-Codes.md said in so many words that x db branch has no create, drop or ls. So this is not a breaking invention; it is the surface the repo already believed it had.

Two design points, both forced rather than chosen:

  • External create no longer shells out to psql. ls finds branches by the comment on database marker createBranch writes, and the psql path wrote the database and no comment — so x db branch ls would have reported "no branches" over branches the CLI itself had made.
  • drop has no confirmation flag. The guard is that you may only drop what ls shows, so the connected database is never in the set. packages/db/src/errors.ts already ships fix: x db branch drop ${branch} with no flag; requiring one would break a shipped instruction.

2. The money fix line named a seam that did not exist

It read "add yours in app.config.ts" — where there is no currency field and no registration function. @ultimat3/money now exports registerCurrency().

The decisive argument was not that a closed table is unfriendly. It is that three layers already treated the set as open: moneySchema's ^[A-Z]{3}$, @ultimat3/entity's Postgres CHECK, and the published OpenAPI pattern. An app could already accept GHS over HTTP, validate it, write it to Postgres and read it back — and only money's arithmetic refused it. That is one package disagreeing with the boundary, the storage layer and the contract. CurrencyCode is string, not a union, and the table had zero consumers outside the package, so nothing depended on it being total.

3. That consolidation found five copies of one bound, not two

^[A-Z]{3}$ was restated five times — including a hardcoded literal in json-schema.ts, the object that is the published OpenAPI/MCP contract a generated client validates against.

Now one tier-0 declaration: CURRENCY_CODE_PATTERN (the pattern source, a string, because two projections are not TypeScript) and isCurrencyCode (the predicate, isMoneyScale's twin). The Postgres CHECK interpolates the same constant — precedent: scaleCheck already does this with MAX_MONEY_SCALE — and a live test applies the emitted CHECK to a real Postgres, asserting it accepts exactly what the predicate accepts and that each refusal is SQLSTATE 23514, so a DDL typo that refuses everything cannot read as agreement.

Two copies remain by necessity: core is tier 0 alongside schema and SIDEWAYS_ALLOW has no core key, so the import is illegal — including in tests, since boundaries scans those too. Core keeps a documented duplicate plus its own corpus test, and cli (which may import both) carries a cross-package pin.

4. Three further defects, each the same class

  • production was hardcoded false in the only producer of a DatabaseTarget, so assertBranchDatabase's "production is never migratable from MCP" arm was dead for every database the CLI makes. Not merely "incidentally refused": a production DATABASE_URL ending /shop_branch_hotfix read as branch: 'hotfix', passed the only live check, and was migratable through an MCP tool call. It now reads core's env exactly as x doctor does, and fails closed on a malformed ULTIMATE_ENV.
  • scanFixes only ever saw a fix: property, so a fix passed positionally into a local helper was invisible to the gate — 22 such helpers across 8 packages, 13 files declaring codes and yielding zero readable fixes. That is why two stale mcp lines survived. Now read under four measured rules: 16 files gained fixes, 0 new findings repo-wide.
  • MissingSubcommandError's own fix: was x db --help, which throws MissingSubcommandError again — a fix line that reproduced its own failure forever, on both commands that raise it.

5. A live bug the gate found, and I refused to ship past

Adding two error codes made the errors step demand a status for them. Checking whether they could reach a request turned up a third code that already could:

X_CURRENCY_UNKNOWN had no status row, so an unregistered currency over HTTP answered 500 — and stages.ts pages the error monitor on every status >= 500. A caller's typo woke the on-call. It is 400 now.

Deleting the row fails 3 of 4 new tests, including the monitor assertion, which comes back with 37 lines where [] was expected.

The two new codes went to the backlog instead, with the argument written down: registerCurrency is their only thrower, it is a boot-time module-scope registry like registerRoute, and its REGISTERED map is per process while the chart runs three web replicas — so a request-driven registration is broken on the second replica before a status could describe it. Roughly a dozen comparable registry refusals are pinned the same way; the one counter-precedent applies to all 228 pins equally and so does not distinguish these.

6. A ratchet that fell

Both packages/money/README.md fences were missing their import line. Fixing the pre-existing one as well let the pin drop: money leaves readme-fences-backlog.ts entirely, so any future breakage in that file is a build error rather than a pin. 155 → 154.

Named gaps, not closed

  • The cross-package currency status pin belongs in scripts/ (the precedent is scripts/oauth-route-status.test.ts) — @ultimat3/money is deliberately not a dependency of @ultimat3/http, so the current test reproduces the throw rather than importing it.
  • scanFixes still cannot follow a helper exported from another package; that needs an import graph, and a scanner that guessed would read unrelated arguments as fixes.
  • packages/render's 14 positional-constructor error classes remain invisible — measured: zero same-file call sites, so a same-file rule would be dead code.
  • lock: false is declared on both migration option types and passed by nothing → db: lock: false is declared on both migration option types and passed by nothing #130.

Gate

bun run verify                      ✓ 14 of 17, 3 skipped (drift, contract-diff, budgets)
bun run scripts/reference-app-gate  ✓ every pin holds — 11/17 and 15/17, no pin moved
bun run manifest                    420 codes

The first gate run was red — three failures, all from the new codes. That is the audit's own machinery working: a new error code with no HTTP status, and a documented example that does not compile.

…he wrong thing

Both passed #119's new doc checks, because the checks verify an invocation PARSES,
not that it does what its sentence says. That gap is the whole of this change.

`x branch` is planned, and its fix: line read `x db branch ls --json`. But `cmd-db.ts`
fell through — any unrecognised subcommand became a branch NAME — so an agent following
the fix verbatim CREATED a database called `<source>_branch_ls` instead of listing one.
`x db branch` now takes a verb from a closed set: `ls | create <name> | drop <name>`.
Verb-first is the only shape where a name cannot be read as a subcommand, and every one
of those three verbs is itself a legal branch name.

The repo already documented that surface and contradicted itself about it: four shipped
`fix:` lines in `@ultimat3/db`'s own registry, its README and a test all spelled
`x db branch create|drop <name>` for commands that did not exist, while the wiki said in
so many words that no such subcommands existed.

External create no longer shells out to `psql`. Forced by `ls`: branches are found by the
`comment on database` marker `createBranch` writes, and the psql path wrote the database
and no comment — so `x db branch ls` would have reported "no branches" over branches the
CLI itself made.

The `money` fix: line named a seam that did not exist — "add yours in `app.config.ts`",
where there is no currency field and no registration function. `@ultimat3/money` now
exports `registerCurrency()`. The decisive argument was not that a closed table is
unfriendly; it is that THREE layers already treated the set as open — `moneySchema`'s
`^[A-Z]{3}$`, entity's Postgres CHECK, and the PUBLISHED OpenAPI `pattern`. An app could
already accept `GHS` over HTTP, validate it, store it and read it back, and only money's
arithmetic refused it. That is one package disagreeing with the boundary, the storage
layer and the contract.

Consolidating that bound turned up five copies of `^[A-Z]{3}$`, not the two we knew about
— including the hardcoded one in the published contract. It is now one tier-0 declaration
(`CURRENCY_CODE_PATTERN` + `isCurrencyCode`), with the Postgres CHECK interpolating the
same constant. A live test applies the emitted CHECK to a real Postgres and asserts it
accepts exactly what the predicate accepts, SQLSTATE 23514, so a DDL typo that refuses
everything cannot read as agreement. Two copies remain by necessity: core is tier 0
alongside schema and may not import it, so it keeps a documented duplicate with its own
corpus test, plus a cross-package pin in `cli`, which may import both.

Three further defects found on the way, each the same class:

- `production` was hardcoded `false` in the only producer of a `DatabaseTarget`, so
  `assertBranchDatabase`'s "production is never migratable from MCP" arm was DEAD for
  every database the CLI makes. A production `DATABASE_URL` ending `/shop_branch_hotfix`
  read as a branch and was migratable through an MCP tool call. It now reads core's env
  exactly as `x doctor` does, and fails CLOSED on a malformed `ULTIMATE_ENV`.
- `scanFixes` only ever saw a `fix:` PROPERTY, so a fix passed positionally into a local
  helper was invisible to the gate — 22 such helpers across 8 packages, 13 files declaring
  codes and yielding zero readable fixes. That is why the two stale mcp lines survived.
  Now read under four measured rules: 16 files gained fixes, 0 new findings.
- `MissingSubcommandError`'s own fix: was `x db --help`, which throws
  `MissingSubcommandError` again — a fix line that reproduced its own failure forever.

BREAKING: `x db branch <name>` is gone; use `create`. `branchSql` is removed from
`@ultimat3/cli`.

…the on-call

Found by the gate, not by reading: adding `registerCurrency`'s two refusals made the
`errors` step demand a status for them, and checking whether they could reach a request
turned up a third code that already could.

`X_CURRENCY_UNKNOWN` had no row in `packages/http/src/error-map.ts`, so it took
DEFAULT_STATUS — and `stages.ts` reports every `status >= 500` to the error monitor. It
is 400 now, beside `X_LOCALE_UNSUPPORTED`.

It was never theoretical, and this branch is what makes it undeniable: every surface
between the wire and the throw accepts any `^[A-Z]{3}$` — schema's `CURRENCY_CODE_PATTERN`,
the OpenAPI `pattern` emitted from it, and entity's `char(3)` CHECK. So `{"minor":100,
"currency":"ZWL"}` parsed, validated, reached `assertCurrency`, and the caller was told the
server had broken over a code the framework's own schema had just accepted.

Deleting the row fails 3 of the 4 new tests — including the one that asserts the monitor
records nothing, which comes back with 37 lines where `[]` was expected.

The two NEW codes go to the backlog instead, with the argument written down rather than
implied: `registerCurrency` is their only thrower, it is a boot-time module-scope registry
like `registerRoute`, and its `REGISTERED` map is per process while the chart runs three
web replicas — so a request-driven registration is broken on the second replica before a
status could describe it. Every comparable registry refusal in the repo is pinned the same
way, and the one counter-precedent applies to all 228 pins equally, so it does not
distinguish these.

Also: both `packages/money/README.md` fences were missing their import line and did not
compile. Fixing the pre-existing one as well let the ratchet FALL — money leaves
`readme-fences-backlog.ts` entirely, so any future breakage there is a build error.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds process-local currency registration and shared currency validation. It replaces positional database branch creation with explicit ls, create, and drop commands. CLI citation validation, MCP targeting, error fixes, tests, and documentation now follow these contracts.

Changes

Currency contracts and registration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared validation and registration
packages/schema/..., packages/money/..., packages/entity/..., packages/admin/..., packages/http/..., packages/core/...
Currency validation uses the exported CURRENCY_CODE_PATTERN and isCurrencyCode. registerCurrency adds validated process-local currencies, with duplicate and redefinition handling.
Currency error and contract coverage
framework.manifest.json, scripts/..., packages/*/src/*.test.ts
New currency error codes, HTTP mapping, schema checks, database checks, and registration tests cover the updated behavior.

Database branch lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Branch domain and CLI commands
packages/cli/src/db-branch.ts, packages/cli/src/cmd-db-branch.ts, packages/cli/src/cmd-db.ts
Database branches use ls, create, and drop. Embedded and external branch operations return structured metadata and enforce branch-name and deletion checks.
Branch integrations
packages/cli/src/mcp-db-target.ts, packages/cli/src/mcp-host.ts, packages/mcp/src/*, packages/cli/src/index.ts
MCP targets include production status and shared branch detection. Branch exports and remediation commands use the new lifecycle interface.

CLI error and fix contracts

Layer / File(s) Summary
Command and citation validation
packages/cli/src/parse.ts, packages/cli/src/fix-command.ts, packages/cli/src/ts-scan.ts, packages/cli/src/error-contract.ts
Command specifications support closed positional choices. Fix citations validate third-level words. Static scanning detects supported positional fix literals.
Actionable fallback guidance
packages/cli/src/errors.ts, packages/cli/src/db-finding.ts, packages/mcp/src/server.ts
Missing fixes use runnable commands. Documentation-only advice is rejected by the error contract.

Documentation and metadata

Layer / File(s) Summary
Updated command and API documentation
CHANGELOG.md, wiki/..., docs/..., packages/*/README.md, packages/*/CLAUDE.md, dummy/...
Documentation describes explicit branch verbs, currency registration, shared validation, MCP behavior, migration behavior, and updated upgrade information.
Generated metadata
framework.manifest.json, scripts/...
The framework build identifier and currency error backlog entries are updated.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 6374b

The PR changes branch creation, listing, and deletion plus generated error guidance. At the current head, deletion can remove the wrong or newly recreated database, and some emitted fixes can still be unparsable or non-runnable. These are high-impact correctness and data-loss risks, so merge should wait for fixes.

In `@docs/architecture/11-ai-surface.md`:
- Line 137: Update the Production row in the architecture table to reflect that
DatabaseTarget.production comes from tryResolveEnvironment({ env }) and is true
for production or unresolved environments; remove the stale hardcoded-false and
related MCP-only migration claim while preserving the surrounding table context.

In `@docs/idea/09-ai-first.md`:
- Line 174: Update the database branch naming documentation to reflect that the
branch name is normalized, replacing the name placeholder with slug or
explicitly stating that feat-new-billing becomes feat_new_billing in the
generated database identifier.

In `@docs/idea/13-dx.md`:
- Line 99: Update the command documentation in the database command row to show
the required branch-name operands: use the form “branch ls|create <name>|drop
<name>” while preserving the existing descriptions and formatting.

In `@packages/cli/src/cmd-db-branch.ts`:
- Around line 179-187: Update runDrop and the underlying
dropPgliteBranch/dropExternalBranch operations so branch existence and creation
identity are validated atomically within deletion, rather than relying on the
earlier branchesOf listing; use the shared lock or equivalent database-side
guard for external deletion and apply the same protection to embedded deletion,
preventing a delete-and-recreate race from removing the new branch.

In `@packages/cli/src/currency-pattern-pin.test.ts`:
- Around line 1-10: Shorten the file header to a 1–4 line statement of the test
file’s single responsibility, and move the detailed tier rationale to a focused
comment near the relevant test or documentation. Preserve the existing
public-surface comparison behavior and the rationale’s meaning.

In `@packages/cli/src/db-branch.ts`:
- Around line 164-171: Update listExternalBranches to call
currentDatabase(client) and filter listBranches results to branches whose names
use that source database’s _branch_ prefix before mapping them; preserve the
existing mapped output for matching branches. Add a regression test covering two
source databases and ensuring only the connected source’s external branch is
returned.

In `@packages/cli/src/mcp-db-target.ts`:
- Line 6: Add a concise comment immediately before the node:path import
explaining that Bun does not provide the required path.join behavior and that
the Node-specific import is therefore unavoidable; leave the existing join
import unchanged.

In `@packages/cli/src/ts-scan.ts`:
- Around line 230-251: Update bodyOf and fixHelpers so error-body detection is
limited to an explicitly declared function body; skip expression-bodied arrow
helpers instead of searching for a later brace. Preserve existing parameter
filtering and BUILDS_ERROR validation for block-bodied helpers, and add a
regression case covering an expression-bodied fix: string consumer followed by a
later code: object.

In `@packages/mcp/src/dev-server.test.ts`:
- Line 178: Update the fix value in the relevant dev-server test fixture to
contain only one runnable x db branch create command with the concrete branch
name, removing the appended prose and placeholder &lt;name&gt;; place retry
guidance in a separate field or message if needed.

In `@packages/mcp/src/readonly-sql.test.ts`:
- Around line 12-20: Update the caught helper to avoid throwing a bare Error
when no UltimateError is captured; fail through the test framework’s assertion
mechanism while preserving the UltimateError return path.

In `@packages/money/README.md`:
- Around line 62-63: Update the README’s X_CURRENCY_UNKNOWN error description to
state that the currency code is neither shipped nor registered by this process,
replacing the outdated ISO-4217-only wording.
- Around line 40-43: Date the shipped-currency count in all affected
documentation: update packages/money/README.md lines 40-43 to state “As of
2026-08, 53 ISO-4217 rows ship”; update packages/money/CLAUDE.md lines 85-87 to
state “As of 2026-08, 53 of ~180 ISO codes”; and update wiki/Money.md line 10
with “As of 2026-08” or a reference to the dated table at line 101.

In `@packages/money/src/errors.ts`:
- Around line 157-165: Update the diagnostic fix construction around upper and
existing.name to serialize all dynamic values as safe string literals before
embedding them in call expressions, so quotes and line breaks remain parseable.
Ensure the unknown-currency guidance does not recommend assertCurrency for an
unregistered code; retain only valid lookup or registration instructions.

In `@wiki/CLI-Reference.md`:
- Line 252: Update the branch ls documentation to say it lists every managed
branch rather than every branch, and add the limitation that external branches
created before marker comments are invisible to ls. Ensure the deletion-guard
description does not imply the listing is a complete inventory.

In `@wiki/Entities-And-Migrations.md`:
- Line 440: Update the branch listing documentation to define size as bytes,
note that external branches use pg_database_size(), and specify that embedded
branches may report unknown because listPgliteBranches() returns null; clarify
that createExternalBranch() returning null affects only the create response.
- Line 441: Update the Teardown documentation to stop equating the CLI command
with direct dropBranch(name, { force: true }): either add an equivalent
ls-membership guard to dropBranch or remove the API example, ensuring unlisted
existing databases cannot be dropped through the documented API path.

In `@wiki/Migrations-And-Backfills.md`:
- Line 43: Align the advisory-lock documentation with the implementation: update
wiki/Migrations-And-Backfills.md line 43 to state whether lock: false can
produce X_MIGRATE_CONCURRENT, update wiki/Known-Gaps.md line 60 to retain the
“waits, does not error” claim only when true for every shipped path, and update
the X_MIGRATE_CONCURRENT row in wiki/Error-Codes.md line 210 consistently. Use
the actual migration lock contract as the source of truth.

| Database name carries `_branch_` | `<source>_branch_<slug>` — the same rule `x db branch create` writes, read back from one module so `ls` and the host cannot disagree | **enforced** |
| Embedded: the data dir is a copy | `pgdata-<name>`, so the dev directory itself is never a branch | **enforced** |
| Provenance | `createBranch` stamps a `comment on database` marker and `x db branch ls` filters on it — the MCP check does **not** read it, so a hand-created `myapp_branch_x` passes on its name alone | **name only** |
| Production | `DatabaseTarget.production` is hardcoded `false`: this host is whatever `x dev` resolved, and production migrates through `ROLE=migrate` in a deploy hook, never through MCP | **not a check** |

CodeRabbit raised 17 on this PR. Six were Major; several were real, two were wrong,
and one was right about the severity while wrong about the mechanism.

The worst: `x db branch drop <name>` could `DROP DATABASE` one that carries no marker at
all — a database this framework never made. `listBranches()` filters on the marker and the
marker records a timestamp, never the source, so on a server hosting two Ultimate apps
`analytics_branch_feat` reduced to `feat` for a session on `postly` and SATISFIED THE
GUARD. The reviewer read that as dropping the other app's database; it is not — the target
is always derived from the connected source — but the foreign row authorised a drop of an
unmarked `postly_branch_feat` belonging to someone else. Fixture reproduces it: before the
fix the command returned success having dropped it. `ls` and `drop` now require the
marker AND this source's prefix, and the check moved inside the deleting function on the
same connection, one statement before the DROP.

Seven `fix:` lines in @ultimat3/money emitted UNPARSABLE JavaScript for legal input — a
currency named `O'Reilly` produced `fromDecimal('1.5', 'O'Reilly')`. `error-render` passed
them because the values are typed `string`, not `unknown` (issue #97's exact gap). There
was a second route with no quote involved: `fromDecimal` trims before parsing but hands the
untrimmed value to the error, so a trailing newline broke the line and the 3-line render.
Where the value has a known shape it is now GATED, not escaped — escaping alone yields a
parsable `assertCurrency("O'Reilly")` that throws the same error when pasted, and this file
already said an instruction that raises the error it answers is not an instruction.

`bodyOf` in ts-scan took the next `{` anywhere after an expression-bodied arrow, so a later
object with a `code:` key could classify a non-error helper as an error builder and reject
valid source. Latent, not firing — measured 857 fix sites before and after, none lost.

Two rejections, both with evidence. "Put the retry guidance in a separate field" — there is
no fourth field on UltimateError, and inventing one is a convention with no build error
behind it; the real defect was the joiner, since `ARGUMENT_END` makes `#` terminate the
scan and 64 shipped lines use it against 9 comma-joined. "`<name>` is wrong" — the
placeholder rule matches the third slot only, where a closed verb set makes substitution
impossible; a branch name is caller-chosen and `packages/db` ships `<branch>` there.

And the reviewer had the advisory-lock finding backwards: Error-Codes.md was RIGHT and six
other pages were wrong. `X_MIGRATE_CONCURRENT` is thrown — one `pg_try_advisory_lock` per
500ms against a 60s budget. "Reserved, never thrown" was true of 1.2.0 and became false
when #98 merged, which `git merge-base --is-ancestor` confirms is not an ancestor of the
tag. Ten pages now say one thing.

All 17 findings dispositioned in c8841f2. Three were sharper than filed, two were wrong, and one had the polarity reversed.

Accepted, and worse than described

  • x db branch drop could delete a database the framework never created. The finding read it as dropping another app's branch; it can't — the target is always derived from the connected source. The real loss is one step further: a foreign marked row (analytics_branch_feat reducing to feat for a session on postly) satisfied the guard, and the guard was the only thing between the caller and drop database if exists "postly_branch_feat" for a database carrying no marker at all. Fixture reproduces it; before the fix the command returned success having dropped it. ls/drop now require the marker and this source's prefix, and the check moved inside the deleting function on the same connection, one statement before the DROP.
  • The fix: interpolation was 7 sites, not 2 — plus a second route with no quote involved: fromDecimal trims before parsing but hands the untrimmed value to the error, so a trailing newline broke both the line and the 3-line render. Where the value has a known shape it is now gated, not escaped — escaping alone yields a parsable assertCurrency("O'Reilly") that throws the same error when pasted, and that file already said an instruction which raises the error it answers is not an instruction.
  • bodyOf bounded to the declared body. Measured blast radius: 857 fix sites before, 857 after — latent exactly as filed, and the bound removes nothing currently read.

Reversed — the reviewer had this one backwards

X_MIGRATE_CONCURRENT: wiki/Error-Codes.md was right and six other pages were wrong. It is thrown — one pg_try_advisory_lock per 500ms against a 60s budget, then X_MIGRATE_CONCURRENT. "Reserved, never thrown" was true of 1.2.0 and became false when #98 merged, which git merge-base --is-ancestor confirms is not an ancestor of the tag. Ten pages now say one thing.

Rejected, with evidence

  • "Put the retry guidance in a separate field." There is no fourth field on UltimateError; inventing one is a convention with no build error behind it. The real defect was the joiner — ARGUMENT_END = /[;|&#'"]/makes#terminate the citation scan (its own comment says "starts a comment"), and 64 shipped fix lines usecommand # guidance` against 9 comma-joined. Reshaped rather than truncated.
  • "<name> is wrong." The placeholder rule matches the third slot only, where a closed verb set makes any substitution invalid. The fourth is an open positional; packages/db/src/errors.ts ships <branch> there under a green gate, and packages/cli/CLAUDE.md names that form as correct. A branch name is caller-chosen.

Corrected in passing

The bare-Error finding cited a test file — but the enforced contract explicitly skips tests (if (isTest(path) …) continue), and there are 295 such sites repo-wide under a green gate. Fixed inside this PR's file set; the enforcement gap is filed as #132.

Filed rather than smuggled in: #130 (lock: false has no caller), #132 (bare-Error unenforced in tests), #133 (reapBranches is source-blind), plus evidence added to #97.

Gate: bun run verify ✓ · reference-app-gate ✓ every pin holds · 420 codes.

… and dispatch to the wrong one

`AdminAction.name` addresses one handler in three places at once — the MCP tool name
(`admin.action.<name>`), the default label key, and the key `callAdminTool` resolves a
handler by. Two actions sharing it dispatched to whichever `.find()` reached first: a call
that SUCCEEDS against the wrong action and reports nothing. Nothing refused it until
`adminMcp()` was called, so an app that renders the dashboard and never wires MCP shipped
the ambiguity silently. Refused at `defineAdmin` now (`X_ADMIN_ACTION_DUPLICATE`), by
identity rather than by name — `defineAdmin` attaches `input.actions` to the entity each
one names AND appends `resources[<entity>].actions`, so an author who spelled the same
object in both meant one action.

**`x g migration` has never been a generator**, and it shipped in two `@ultimat3/admin`
`fix:` lines — so an operator whose admin list named a dropped column got
`X_CLI_UNKNOWN_COMMAND` on top of the bug they already had. The real command is
`x db gen "<description>"`. It reached the `errors` gate untouched because `x g` declares
no subcommands and `fix-command.ts` returns `undefined` for an absent positional set; `g`
now declares `positionalChoices: GENERATORS`, from the same constant `readKind` validates
against. Third instance of this class (#131, then `x db branch <name>`).

- `cli/fix-command`: the citation regex stopped a word at `:`, so `x g admin:page` — the
  CLI reference's one admin-page line — cited `x g admin` and was a standing false
  finding on a documented invocation that runs. A `:` now joins a word only when a letter
  follows it, so a sentence ending `x db migrate:` still cites `x db migrate`.
- `cli/cmd-generate`: the conflict `fix:` was `x g --force`, which is
  `X_CLI_UNKNOWN_COMMAND` when run. A `fix:` is pasted verbatim, and the conflict path has
  the caller's own invocation in hand.
- `scraping/robots-fetch`: new file. The production `/robots.txt` read — the one
  `scrape-run.ts` always takes, since it builds the gate with no `fetchText` — had no
  deadline, no size cap and no proxy. Every existing gate test injected one, which is how
  a read that could park a run forever stayed green. The gate caches one promise per
  origin, so a hung origin parked every later navigation to it, past `ctx.signal`.
