check-docs verified render parity, sha resolution, sha ancestry and upstream PR states — but never that a merged fork PR documented itself. #517 was green on every check with no entry at all, and nothing would have surfaced it later: --next-seq and the renderers are happy with any subset. The checker answered a narrower question than its name, which is #516's twin and #505's class. Step 8 lists squash-merge commits since a baseline by their trailing (#NNN) and requires either a `fork_pr: NNN` entry or a reasoned allowlist line. Baseline is 6da8775, the commit that introduced docs/fork-changes/ AND the fork_pr field (#480). Before it the field did not exist, so "missing" would be meaningless for the ~137 older entries; a baseline is what keeps this about drift rather than about history. git log only, never the GitHub API — a docs check that needs the network is one that gets skipped. Warn-only by default, --strict fails, so the residue can be worked without blocking. A bare number in the allowlist is refused: an allowlist records WHY or it is a mute button, and the next person cannot tell a deliberate omission from an abandoned one. Pre-registered before writing the step, by hand from git log: 20 squash commits since the baseline, 19 with fork_pr, missing exactly {495}. The step reports exactly that. #495 is the docs-tooling sweep (scripts/maintain-fork-changes.py) that rewrites landed `commit: HEAD` values across EXISTING entries and adds no change of its own — the producer this allowlist exists for, and the pair this check consumes. Note: #517, the PR the issue cites, now HAS an entry; it was backfilled after the issue was filed. The backlog is one PR, not several. Tests drive the REAL script over throwaway git repos built under the project's tmp/ (never /tmp — a 16 GB tmpfs here). Mutation-tested: a reasonless allowlist line exits 1; allowlisting a PR that DOES have an entry fails the producer/consumer test as a dead line; disabling the fork_pr scan reports all 19 as missing, proving the scan is load-bearing. Closes #519
seq 158, commit: HEAD. fork_pr is filled after the PR exists, per the convention — and this is the first entry whose own check would have caught its absence. Part of #519
Composition rule with the docs sweep, stated as a rule rather than left to coincidence. scripts/maintain-fork-changes.py step 1 resolves `commit: HEAD` from an entry's `fork_pr:`, so the sweep CONSUMES entries and produces none of its own, and it deliberately runs LAST in a wave. This check therefore always lands while unresolved placeholders exist, and must check that an entry EXISTS — never that its commit is resolved. Whether a sha is real and is an ancestor is the strict ancestry check's job; conflating the two would make a correct entry look missing for the whole window between a PR merging and the sweep running. The step already read only `^fork_pr:`, so this pins the property rather than changing it: a behavioural test with a fixture entry carrying an unresolved placeholder (with a control asserting the fixture really is unresolved), and a structural test that no `commit:` logic exists in the script at all. Mutation-tested with an EFFECTIVE mutant — skipping entries whose commit is still HEAD — which turns both of those red plus the covered-repo control. An earlier mutant that only moved the text was caught by the structural test alone and is recorded as inert, not as evidence. Allowlist reason now cites the sweep's real step 1 and states the general rule: every sweep PR that ever lands belongs here, so it is not a judgement call to re-make each time. Note: the brief cited the sweep's "step 5b". The script documents steps 1 and 2 only; the relevant one is step 1 and that is what is cited. Part of #519
42b3319 Generated files (FORK_CHANGELOG, README table, llms-full) regenerated, not hand-merged; --next-seq taken after the final fetch. Coverage step on this tree: 22 examined / 22 documented / 1 allowlisted. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Honor strict mode when the coverage checker is unavailable.
The direct -x check skips step 8 when scripts/check-entry-coverage.sh is missing or not executable. This also passes under --strict, although strict mode must fail on coverage problems. Preserve the default warn-only behavior, but fail when strict mode is active.

Restrict the scan to the first-parent history.
The checker targets squash-merge commits on main, but git log BASELINE..HEAD traverses all reachable parents. A non-squash merge can expose side-branch commits whose subjects end in (#NNN). The parser reports them as missing fork-change entries, and strict check-docs.sh mode can fail.
Use --first-parent for this scope.

…e commit is unreachable CI checks out shallow (fetch-depth 1); `git log 6da8775..HEAD` exited 128 and failed test-linux (3.13) on 13762a9. A shallow clone is not a missing entry: skip with the reason stated. The fixture-repo tests cover the logic; this test still runs wherever full history exists (local worktrees, check-docs on main).

…tes, schema README (#524 follow-up) (#540) Six items queued during #531's review, one PR. Rebased onto `9db6577a` (#530) before the first push, so its step 8 and these steps 9 and 10 are numbered `N/10` together. ## What 1. **Harness — two token-overlap columns** (`scripts/failure_shape_recall.py`): trigger vs `expected_slug`, and trigger vs the record's `asked` + `answered`; `|T ∩ G| / |T|` over stopword-stripped token sets, `n/a` when the trigger has no tokens (never `0.0` — a zero reads as "disjoint"). **Reported beside recall, never subtracted.** New `--overlap-only` computes the columns with no search and no corpus control. 2. **check-docs step 9** — `--check-set-only` as a gate. Until now it ran by hand. 3. **Spec** — "seed" at both bare "33 on record" echoes (§1 blockquote, §5 "Why 31 files and not 33"), with the shipped 31 named beside the first. 4. **check-docs step 10** — markdownlint over CI's glob set, read from `.github/workflows/lint-docs.yml` (one source, no drift). Warns when no runner is installed; fails when present and red. 5. **`docs/failure-shapes/README.md`** — field list with types; slug == filename stem and what enforces it; provenance vocabulary and why partitions are never pooled; "do not wrap a value that already carries backticks" with the seventeen-file incident. 6. **File shape stated** — §5 and the README say `<slug>.md` with YAML front matter. The brief's premise ("§5 says `.yaml`") is refuted at `42b33192`: `grep -ci yaml` on the spec → 0; the "as YAML" sentence (`43e6b0c1:190`) was removed by #531. The spec named no extension at all, so this states one rather than fixing one. ## The measured incident CI's `lint-docs.yml` failed MD052 on one record at `0b0c3487` while all local check-docs steps were green — no local step ran markdownlint. The generator had wrapped every `instrument` value in a code span; seventeen values already carried backticks (`git diff --stat 0b0c348 52c19cc -- docs/failure-shapes` → 17 files, one line each). A lint that runs only in CI is a check nobody ran. ## Claims (units named, how measured) | claim | value | unit | measured by | |---|---|---|---| | overlap HIGH arm, slug column | 0.50 | \|T∩G\|/\|T\| | `overlap("take the count from the tally line", "tally-line")` | | overlap HIGH arm, asked+answered column | 1.00 | same | `overlap("what number did the author state in the summary", record_asked_answered("tally-line"))` | | overlap LOW arm, both columns | 0.00 / 0.00 | same | `overlap("purple elephants dance quietly", …)` | | B-blind rows (n=6) mean ovl/slug · ovl/asked+answered | 0.23 · 0.16 | mean of the ratio | `--overlap-only` on `oracle-issue-audit-524-triggers.csv`; no search issued | | A rows (n=4) mean ovl/slug · ovl/asked+answered | 0.04 · 0.37 | mean of the ratio | same run, the spec's four A triggers | | step 10 positive control | MD052 at `diff-filter-excludes-list-lines.md:21:32`, exit 1 | finding, exit code | new `check-docs.sh` run inside a repo built from the `0b0c3487` docs tree | | step 10 negative control | 146 files, 0 issues | files | `check-docs.sh` on this branch (145 at `42b33192` + the new README) | | globs read from CI workflow | 14 | globs | step 10 output | | record set | 31 on disk = 31 in spec, 0 mismatches | files / slugs | step 9 / `--check-set-only` | | harness tests | 13 passed (8 new) | tests | `pytest tests/test_failure_shape_recall.py` | | check-docs tests | 45 passed across the four check-docs/harness test files (6 new) | tests | `pytest tests/test_check_docs_lint_steps.py tests/test_check_docs_pr_state.py tests/test_check_docs_entry_coverage.py tests/test_failure_shape_recall.py` on the rebased tree | | full suite | 7540 passed, 82 skipped, 115 deselected | tests | `PYTHONPATH=$PWD .venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/ -x -q` from the worktree source, pre-rebase (`42b33192` base); the rebase touched only `check-docs.sh` labels and rendered docs | | check-docs | exit 0, `✦ docs clean`, 10 steps | exit code | `scripts/check-docs.sh` on the rebased tree | | palace | not consulted | — | `--overlap-only` never calls `search`; asserted by test | The overlap reading — B-blind shares slug vocabulary more than A, A shares `asked`/`answered` vocabulary more than B-blind — is consistent with B-blind having had the slug list and A's author having written both; it is a characterisation, not a verdict on blindness. ## Not in this PR No triggers added for any record (independence of the fresh lane).

scripts/check-entry-coverage.shso it can run on its own (a pre-push hook, the sweep) and so its tests can drive the real script.6da87755— the commit that introduceddocs/fork-changes/and thefork_prfield (refactor(docs): one file per fork-change entry; ancestry-checked, merge-resolved shas (#473 #472 #476) #480). Before it the field did not exist, so "missing" would be meaningless for the ~137 older entries. A baseline is what keeps this about drift rather than about history.git logonly, never the GitHub API.

Enumerated by hand from
git log --oneline 6da87755..HEAD, stated in my report before any code:The step reports exactly
{495}on this main:Invariant, not a total: every squash-merge commit since the baseline has an entry or an allowlist line. The count moves with every merge; the invariant does not.
The allowlist: 1 PR
docs(fork-changes): resolve every landed commit: HEAD to its squash shacommit:values across existing entries and introduces no change of its own, so an entry for it would describe nothing a reader ofFORK_CHANGELOG.mdwants.One, not several. Worth stating plainly because the issue implies a backlog: #517, the PR the issue cites as the trigger, now HAS an entry — it was backfilled after the issue was filed. I checked rather than assuming the issue's framing still held.
The producer/consumer pair
scripts/maintain-fork-changes.pyis the producer: the sweep that resolves landedcommit: HEADvalues fromfork_pr. Its own PRs add no entry by design — that is precisely why the allowlist exists. This check is the consumer.They are executed together in
test_every_allowlisted_pr_is_genuinely_missing_an_entry, which runs against the real repo and requires every allowlisted PR to be (a) genuinely a squash commit in range and (b) genuinely without an entry. An allowlist that drifts from what the sweep produces would silence a real miss, so it is verified rather than trusted.Composition with the docs sweep — a rule, not a coincidence
scripts/maintain-fork-changes.pystep 1 resolvescommit: HEADfrom an entry'sfork_pr:. Two consequences follow, and both are load-bearing here:⇒ This step checks that an entry EXISTS (by
fork_pr:), never that itscommit:is resolved. Acommit: HEADentry counts as present. Whether a sha is real and is an ancestor is the strict ancestry check's job — conflating the two would make a correct entry look missing for the entire window between a PR merging and the sweep running, which is exactly when a wave is busiest.Pinned two ways: a behavioural test with a fixture entry carrying an unresolved placeholder (with a control asserting the fixture really is unresolved), and a structural test that the script contains no
