fix(bin): preserve full task contract in no-mistakes intent

[kunchenguid]

Intent

Ship the smallest tracked Firstmate change that makes the no-mistakes intent handoff preserve the full accepted task contract. Treat bin/fm-brief.sh as the sole owner of the no-mistakes ship definition of done, and add one concise instruction requiring a worker's no-mistakes --intent to preserve all relevant content from the generated brief's # Task section plus every later accepted Firstmate requirement, clarification, constraint, exclusion, and supersession. The intent must retain direct requirements rather than substituting a diff summary, exclude generic operational, status, delivery, and other scaffold boilerplate unless it is task-specific, and carry the current accepted requirement when a later instruction supersedes an earlier one. Do not add a separate intent file, a long section, or duplicate this contract into AGENTS.md, harness-adapters, unrelated skills, or unrelated docs. Reproduce the current generated no-mistakes ship brief through bin/fm-brief.sh's public interface before editing, and add or update colocated executable public-interface tests covering the no-mistakes ship variant and showing other delivery variants are unaffected where relevant, without asserting implementation source bytes. Follow the one-owner rule, one-sentence-per-line Markdown style, documentation audience checks, repository lint, focused tests, and the configured no-mistakes pipeline. This work is independent of PR 1446 and must not change, synchronize, recover, resume, validate, or merge it or any associated preserved work.

What Changed

• Update generated no-mistakes ship briefs to require --intent to preserve the complete current task contract, retain direct requirements, and omit non-task-specific scaffold boilerplate.
• Add public-interface coverage confirming the contract appears only in no-mistakes briefs and remains absent from direct-PR and local-only variants.

Risk Assessment

✅ Low: The updated single-owner instruction now preserves all relevant task content, explicitly retains only current accepted requirement forms after supersession, excludes non-task-specific scaffold boilerplate, and remains isolated to the no-mistakes delivery variant with public-interface coverage.

Testing

No separate baseline commands were supplied; the focused fm-brief public-interface test passed, manual end-to-end generation showed the complete current-task intent contract only in the no-mistakes ship brief, both other delivery variants remained unaffected, reviewer-visible brief artifacts were captured, and transient worktree fixtures were removed.

# Task
{TASK}

# Herdr lifecycle declaration - NOT ENABLED
**HARD SAFETY GATE:** this scaffold cannot inspect the task text that replaces `{TASK}` later.
If the task will start, stop, delete, restart, profile, or otherwise drive Herdr lifecycle behavior, stop and regenerate the brief with `--herdr-lab` before dispatch.
Do not add Herdr lifecycle commands to this unguarded brief by hand.

# Setup
You are in a disposable git worktree of evidence-default, at a detached HEAD on a clean default branch.

**Verify isolation before anything else.** Run `pwd -P` and `git rev-parse --show-toplevel`; both must resolve to the disposable task worktree you were launched in, such as a treehouse pool path or an Orca-managed worktree, not the primary checkout firstmate operates from.
The path check is authoritative: `git rev-parse --git-dir` and `git rev-parse --git-common-dir` can help inspect the repo, but they do not prove you are outside the primary checkout.
If the top-level path is the primary checkout or not the worktree you were launched in, STOP - do not branch or commit here - append `blocked: launched in primary checkout, not an isolated worktree` to the status file and stop.

1. First action: create your branch: `git checkout -b fm/evidence-nomistakes`
2. Run `no-mistakes doctor`; if it reports the repo is not initialized here, run `no-mistakes init`.

# Rules
1. Never push to the default branch. Never merge a PR.
2. Stay inside this worktree; modify nothing outside it.
3. Use gh-axi for GitHub operations and chrome-devtools-axi for browser operations.
4. Report status by appending one line:
   `echo "{state}: {one short line}" >> '/var/folders/5x/4nqprlbx0518k3ybcb1sz6gr0000gn/T/no-mistakes-evidence/01KYXVP7Y2ZQXSKQD68P55DFTV/state/evidence-nomistakes.status'`
   States: working, needs-decision, blocked, paused, done, failed.
   Each append wakes firstmate, so report sparingly: only phase changes a supervisor
   would act on (setup done, bug reproduced, fix implemented, validation passed) and the
   needs-decision/blocked/paused/done/failed states. No step-by-step FYI progress lines;
   firstmate reads your pane for that.
   A mid-task `working:` line (including setup complete) is nonterminal: do not end the
   turn after it; continue the same stage until a defined `done:` gate under Definition of done.
   Use `paused: {why}` - distinct from `blocked:` - ONLY when you are deliberately idling on a
   known external wait you expect to clear on its own (an upstream release, a rate-limit reset,
   a scheduled window): firstmate then leaves your idle pane alone and rechecks it on a long
   cadence instead of treating it as a possible wedge. Use `blocked:` when you are stuck and need help.
5. If you hit the same obstacle twice, append `blocked: {why}` and stop; firstmate will help.
6. If a decision belongs above the implementation worker (product choices, destructive actions, ask-user findings),
   append `needs-decision: {summary of options}` and stop. Firstmate will apply the configured authority and reply with the decision.
   When firstmate replies or a blocker clears and you resume, append `resolved: {how it was decided or unblocked}` (add the same `[key=<slug>]` if you opened it with one) so the decision or blocker is durably closed and does not keep resurfacing.
7. Never stop, restart, or update the shared `no-mistakes` daemon - it is one instance serving
   every lane/home, so restarting it kills other lanes' in-flight pipeline runs. On ANY no-mistakes
   daemon error, append `blocked: {the daemon error}` and stop; only firstmate manages the daemon.

# Project memory
If `AGENTS.md` or `CLAUDE.md` already exists, or if this task produced durable project-intrinsic knowledge, run `/Users/kunchen/.no-mistakes/worktrees/016d88035d58/01KYXVP7Y2ZQXSKQD68P55DFTV/bin/fm-ensure-agents-md.sh .` in the worktree.
Record only project knowledge useful to almost every future session.
For anything the codebase already shows, prefer a pointer to the authoritative file, command, or doc over copying the detail.
If you touch a project `AGENTS.md` that lacks `## Maintaining this file`, add that short self-governance section from `/Users/kunchen/.no-mistakes/worktrees/016d88035d58/01KYXVP7Y2ZQXSKQD68P55DFTV/bin/fm-ensure-agents-md.sh` in the same pass.
Keep it proportionate: skip `AGENTS.md` edits for trivial tasks that produced no durable project knowledge.

# Definition of done
The task is complete only when committed on your branch.
When you believe it is complete, append `done: {summary}` to the status file and stop.
Firstmate will then instruct you to run /no-mistakes to validate and ship a PR.

You drive no-mistakes by responding to its gates, not by implementing fixes.
Follow the guidance no-mistakes itself provides for the mechanics: it loads when you invoke /no-mistakes, and `no-mistakes axi run --help` plus the `help` lines in each `axi` response are authoritative and version-matched to the installed binary.
When starting no-mistakes, make `--intent` preserve all relevant content from this brief's `# Task` section plus every later accepted Firstmate requirement, clarification, constraint, exclusion, and supersession, carrying only each requirement's current accepted form; retain direct requirements instead of substituting a diff summary, and exclude generic operational, status, delivery, and other scaffold boilerplate unless it is task-specific.
Do not hand-edit, commit, or fix findings yourself while a run is active - the pipeline applies every fix.

Two firstmate-specific rules layer on top of that guidance:
- ask-user findings are never yours to answer: escalate to firstmate (rule 6) and stop.
  Firstmate applies the authority contract in its `AGENTS.md` and obtains any required captain decision.
  When the decision comes back, feed it to the gate with `no-mistakes axi respond` and let the pipeline apply it - do not route the question to "the user" or implement the fix yourself.
- Avoid `--yes`: it would silently bypass firstmate's authority check and any required captain escalation.

After /no-mistakes reports CI green (the CI-ready return point - do not wait for it to keep monitoring in the background until merge), append `done: PR {url} checks green` and stop. You are finished.

The task is complete only when committed on your branch `fm/evidence-local`. Do NOT push, do NOT open a PR, do NOT merge.
Keep your branch a clean fast-forward onto the current default branch - if `main` has advanced, rebase onto it so the eventual merge stays a fast-forward.
When it is implemented and committed, append `done: ready in branch fm/evidence-local` to the status file and stop.
The configured merge authority approves the ready branch, then firstmate merges it into local `main` through the guarded fast-forward path.

• 🚨 bin/fm-brief.sh:341 - The required contract says --intent must preserve “all relevant content” from # Task and carry the current accepted requirement after supersession. This instruction narrows that to “every relevant requirement” and merely includes “supersessions,” so relevant context can still be omitted and obsolete requirements can remain alongside replacements. Update this sole owner to require all relevant task content and only each requirement's current accepted form.

🔧 Fix: Preserve complete current task contract in no-mistakes intent
✅ Re-checked - no issues remain.

✅ **Test** - passed

✅ No issues found.

• Inspected git diff a805766622afb291681a15a80c5135517f1cb5ed..95586b0b820ab165ed96dc1370738031cc04649b -- bin/fm-brief.sh tests/fm-brief.test.sh and both target commits.
• Ran ./tests/fm-brief.test.sh.
• Generated no-mistakes, direct-PR, and local-only ship briefs through bin/fm-brief.sh with an isolated delivery-mode registry.
• Verified the generated no-mistakes brief contains exactly one complete intent-handoff instruction, while direct-PR and local-only briefs contain none.
• Verified all three generated evidence briefs are present and non-empty, then confirmed git status --short is clean.
