Summary

The CI auto-heal job packages the corrected bytes of author-commit-required workflow files into heal-author-commit-required/ and uploads them, so an author can download the fix the GitHub App is structurally unable to push (it lacks workflows:write). That artifact has been empty on every run since it landed.

actions/upload-artifact defaults include-hidden-files to false, and @actions/glob's excludeHiddenFiles skips any entry whose basename starts with a dot before the descend step — so a dot-directory is never traversed and nothing beneath it is ever yielded. Every path this artifact can carry is author_commit_required_committed_artifact_paths(), which is .github/workflows/ci.yml and .github/workflows/falsifier.yml. The payload lives entirely under one hidden segment, so the upload could never publish anything.

Measured, not reasoned. Run 31031996072 (PR #7857) emitted HealAuthorCommitRequired naming both paths — so the packaging block provably ran and populated the directory — and the very next step reported No files were found with the provided path: heal-author-commit-required.

Priced. Because the handoff was always empty, every author re-ran regen locally instead: five separate times on 2026-08-05 alone (#7770 twice, #7791, #7835, #7857).

Why derived rather than a literal true

ci_heal_author_commit_artifact_includes_hidden_files() reads the flag off the same roster that determines the payload. Register a non-hidden author-commit path and it becomes false on its own; register another dotted one and it stays true. The always-empty state is unwritable rather than re-checked (DESIGN §5, construction over validation). A literal true would be a second representation of a fact the roster already carries, and would go silently wrong the day the roster changes.

Scope bound

This walls one step, not the class. Any upload step whose payload is entirely hidden is always-empty; the note carries a named dissolve-on for a lens deriving the flag for every upload step from its declared path population. The corpus's other two uploads (release-bins.tgz, target/floor-component-receipt.json) carry no hidden segment and are unaffected — which is why this stayed local and invisible.

Test plan

claim_batch --source-root dag --source-root src/v2 --entry dag/test/claim/ci_heal_job_witness_test.dag, four witnesses, all PASS:

  • heal_author_commit_upload_publishes_its_hidden_payload — the delivery test. Red before this change (no include-hidden-files kv existed, so the predicate returned false); green after. This is the gap heal_author_commit_upload_step_enrolled left open: the step being present was already witnessed while the artifact it published was empty. Enrollment is not delivery.
  • author_commit_required_paths_all_carry_a_hidden_segment — pins the premise the derivation rests on.
  • hidden_segment_predicate_discriminates — RED control fixing both polarities on real corpus paths, including a mid-path dot-directory.
  • heal_author_commit_upload_step_enrolled — unchanged, still green.

.github/workflows/ci.yml regenerated via generated_artifact_gate main_wet and committed by me, since the App cannot push workflow paths — the same obligation this artifact exists to serve.

Note on the branch_merge_admission_model.dag import fix

An earlier revision of this branch carried a restored-import fix for that module, because this PR touches .github/workflows/ci.yml — a path outside the selectable universe — which forces compile-clean onto the whole-tree baseline rooted at witness_layer_roots, where the module's stripped bare references stop resolving. Confirmed on this branch's own run (job 92433268875).

That fix now lives on main and has been dropped from this diff. Main's version imports gunbc.plan and gunbc.plans.md_helpers only; mine additionally imported std.markdown, which is redundant — both of those modules import std.markdown themselves, so it arrives through declared edges rather than by pool coincidence. Main's version is sufficient by construction and is the single authority, so the merge takes it verbatim rather than forking a second variant of one fix.

This diff is therefore back to the four files of the heal-artifact change.

…ved-closure

namespace-reference-derived-closure carried a six-capability set-difference
closing contract in which every row read Unavailable, while the node itself was
the only dispatchable thing in the lane -- one startable row standing for three
separable pieces of work with different substrates.

The cut follows the contract's own triggers, which already record what each
capability waits on:

  namespace-structural-observations   4 caps, P2aStructuralCandidateProducer7515
  namespace-cross-file-provenance     1 cap,  P2aReferenceDependencyProjection7515
  namespace-pool-independence         1 cap,  P2aPoolIndependentDependencyProjection7515

The first two are parallel -- no dependency runs between the same-file rules and
the cross-file projection. Pool independence depends on cross-file provenance
because a differential needs a projector to perturb.

No new identity was minted for integration or for the census.
namespace-reference-derived-closure keeps its durable identity and now denotes
the aggregate handback (its first_slice moved; its boundary, which still covers
all six, did not). namespace-ambiguity-discharge keeps its identity and its
existing dependency on the closure node.

The three new rows are deliberately ExecutionContractUnspecified. Each first_slice
names authoring its own closing check as its first act, per
v1_lane_binding_survey_note: the contract follows the witness, never precedes it.
The derived closing-contract tasks for the two startable rows are the honest
fail-closed state, not a gap; pool-independence gets none because it is
dependency-held, and could not carry one anyway -- its differential compares an
output shape its prerequisite has not yet produced.

Also adds roadmap-receipt-continuity (roadmap-runtime, off the namespace spine):
a receipt that was valid and is now absent refuses unless an explicit revocation
names the exact node, the exact record, a reason and its disposition. Motivated
by #7739, where a branch spent real effort reconstructing an acceptance record
that already existed because nothing refused when it went missing. Distinct from
startable_nodes_missing_closing_contract, which finds nodes that never had a
check rather than accepted state that vanished.

Evidence, by execution on this tree:
- roadmap_authority_test: 42/42 witnesses PASS
- generated_artifact_drift_test: 7/7 PASS
- ROADMAP.md regenerated via main_wet on dag/tools/generated_artifact_gate.dag;
  the projection shows reference-derived-closure requiring the two new
  prerequisites, and derived closing-contract tasks appearing for exactly the
  two startable unbound rows.

An empty file named 'true' was created in the worktree by a shell-quoting
mishap while sending dashboard messages, then picked up and committed by
the WIP auto-commit process. It is not on main and carries no content.

Author-committed because the GitHub App lacks workflows:write, so the
heal job can detect this drift but can never push the fix.

Emitted from the ci_workflow.dag change in this branch; the value is
derived from author_commit_required_committed_artifact_paths(), not
hard-coded.

The first draft cited "#7770 twice, #7791, #7835, #7857". Two errors:
#7770 hit the author-commit-required class three times on 2026-08-05
(ci.yml at 04:39 and 17:42, falsifier.yml at 06:34), and #7835 was only
a prospective warning, never a confirmed incident — the real fourth PR
is #7772. Verified against this lane's dispatch receipts rather than
recall, and the count is now stated as a floor rather than a census.

A wrong enumeration inside a canonical carrier is the citation class
DESIGN §3 names, so it gets the same bar as any other cited fact.

The merge brought in 52 commits of main, and the generated-artifact merge
driver keeps this side's copy for generated paths, so the merged ci.yml
was this branch's pre-merge bytes: it was missing main's new registered
plans and stage0 modules in AUTHORED_CONFLICTS, the heal commit's
--no-verify, several step ids, and a test-negation respelling.

Regenerated from the authority rather than hand-merged. The output now
differs from origin/main by exactly one line — the include-hidden-files
key this branch adds — which is the check that the regeneration is
correct rather than a plausible-looking text merge.

# Conflicts:
#	dag/gunbc/plans/branch_merge_admission_model.dag
review 49102 is correct and this was my error. ci_workflow.dag declared
needs: [build, regen, heal_generated_artifacts] with a job-level if, while
the committed ci.yml carried neither -- an internally inconsistent PR that
would have failed ci_yaml_parse_witness, since expected_ci_yml() serializes
the model.

The cause was mechanical rather than a decision: the gating work was in this
worktree when the WIP auto-commit picked it up and pushed the .dag half,
while the regenerated ci.yml was discarded by a local reset moments later.
The two halves were split across a push boundary.

The fix is removal, not regeneration. That change is not in this PR's scope
and already exists as #7882, authored on main with its own witnesses and a
proven RED control. Regenerating ci.yml here would have made this PR
self-consistent by duplicating another PR's change, which is the worse
resolution of the two.

The three files are restored to cfea75a, the last head where this branch
carried only the heal-artifact fix. Regen after the restore produces no
ci.yml drift, which is the check that model and artifact now agree.

review 49102 is correct and the finding was real — thank you. Fixed by removal, not regeneration.

What happened. ci_workflow.dag declared needs: ["build", "regen", "heal_generated_artifacts"] with a job-level if, while the committed ci.yml carried neither. Since expected_ci_yml() serializes the model, this PR would have failed ci_yaml_parse_witness exactly as the review predicted.

The cause was mechanical rather than a decision. That gating work was in the same worktree when the WIP auto-commit picked it up and pushed the .dag half; a local reset moments later discarded the regenerated ci.yml. The two halves ended up split across a push boundary.

Why removal rather than regeneration. The floor/heal gating is out of scope here and already exists as #7882, authored on main with its own witnesses and a proven RED control (setting the expression to success() reds the condition test while the dependency test still passes). Regenerating ci.yml on this branch would have made the PR self-consistent by duplicating another PR's change — the worse of the two resolutions, and a §3 fork of one fix across two branches.

The three files are restored to cfea75a4d0d, the last head where this branch carried only the heal-artifact fix. Regen after the restore produces no ci.yml drift, which is the check that model and artifact agree again.

This PR is now the four files it was always meant to be: the derived include-hidden-files flag, its witnesses, and the regenerated ci.yml line.
