Summary

The PR description guard now checks PR text in catstack. A reflect pass found bad descriptions on a dozen catstack PRs.

The guard only woke up in repos that had the Invoker PR helper script. Catstack has no such script.

In the incident, the guard printed nothing and exited 0 for a stack push and for a failing PR text in catstack.

It also looked for the PR text checker in only one folder. Catstack keeps its checker in a different folder.

Now the guard finds the repo by its git folder and tries both checker locations in order.

If a repo has no checker at all, publishing a PR gets an "UNCHECKED" notice instead of silence.

Review Claim

The PR description guard checks PR text in a repo that keeps its checker under the PR-drafting skill folder, and says UNCHECKED instead of staying silent when a PR is published from a repo with no checker.

Review Lane

behavior

Review Unit

engine-runtime

Safety Invariant

The change can only add a failure or an UNCHECKED notice. A PR description that passes engine/skills/draft-pr/scripts/validate-pr-body.mjs today is never newly blocked, and the hook still never blocks a command. Invoker-shaped repos keep the same hit, clean, and unchecked results.

Slice Rationale

One hook, one claim: where the hook looks for the validator and what it says when it finds none. The two scripts/ci edits switch abspath to realpath so those gates find the repo when run through a symlink, which the acceptance checks for this slice need.

Non-goals

  • No change to the validator, preflight, install.sh, or any other hook.
  • No edit to engine/skills/draft-pr/scripts/validate-pr-body.mjs, scripts/pr/validate-pr-body-local.mjs, or any file open PR Turn drafter-core PR rules off unless CATSTACK_DRAFTER_CORE=1 #742 changes.
  • No scripts/create-pr.mjs shim and no extra validator copy in catstack.
  • Outside any git repo the hook still says nothing.

Note

Medium Risk
Several always-on or Stop hooks change when agents get blocked, nudged, or judged; pr-schema-gate and prove-it-ship-gate alter advisory and blocking behavior in real PR and reply flows.

Overview
pr-schema-gate now scopes any git repo (not create-pr.mjs), resolves validators at Invoker scripts/validate-pr-body.mjs or catstack engine/skills/draft-pr/scripts/validate-pr-body.mjs, and emits UNCHECKED when neither exists or on stack push without a checker. Validator exit 0 with an explicit “PR body validation passed” stays clean even if a sub-check printed “unchecked” on stderr (fixes false UNCHECKED on catstack bodies). Messages and stack follow-ups use the resolved validator path.

llm-judge skips runners that failed as missing or non-zero for 6 hours (state under unavailable/); timeouts and bad JSON do not; a successful answer clears the marker; if every runner is marked unavailable it retries the full table.

prove-it-ship-gate treats the user’s machine/session/screen (and Playwright/Electron/popup wording) as live surfaces, strips PR URLs from evidence, and avoids treating bare “end-to-end”/“e2e” as a surface noun.

wrong-check-reflect keys one-shot state per reply (transcript + hash), only treats harness /reflect command envelopes as “already asked,” and scopes that check to the current turn while ignoring meta, skill injection, hook feedback, and tool-result rows.

Also: ecosystem doc row for prove-it-ship-gate, expanded draft-pr validator tests (Review Claim / changed file and folder stems), self-correction scenario split for reflect mention vs request, and CI scripts using realpath for symlinked repo roots.

… a repo has none

Scope now comes from the .git boundary, not scripts/create-pr.mjs. The
validator is scripts/validate-pr-body.mjs, then
engine/skills/draft-pr/scripts/validate-pr-body.mjs. A PR-publishing
command in a git repo with neither reports UNCHECKED instead of staying
silent.

…eview claim: pr-schema-gate checks PR descriptions in a repo whose validator lives at engine/skills/draft-pr/scripts/validate-pr-body.mjs, and reports UNCHECKED instead of staying silent when a PR-publishing command runs in a repo where no validator can be found.

Review lane: behavior
Safety invariant: The change can only add a failure or an UNCHECKED notice; a PR description that passes engine/skills/draft-pr/scripts/validate-pr-body.mjs today is never newly blocked.
Effectiveness measurement: Hook tests replay the three commands that stayed silent in the incident: `mergify stack push` in a catstack-shaped repo (fires or UNCHECKED, never silent), `gh pr create --body-file <body failing the validator>` in a catstack-shaped repo (fires with the validator's errors), and a passing body in the same repo (clean). The existing Invoker-shaped cases keep their current results.
Slice rationale: One hook, one claim: where the hook looks for the validator and what it says when it finds none.
Architectural effect: pr-schema-gate stops depending on scripts/create-pr.mjs to decide whether a repo is in scope.
Goal: Make the PR-description guard fire in catstack.
Motivation: A reflect pass found PR descriptions on catstack PRs #780-#789, #793 and #795 failing the required PR Body check after publication, and the user had to ask for a manual fix of every PR. In catstack the guard stayed silent: fed `mergify stack push` and `gh pr create --body-file <failing body>` it exited 0 with no output, while the same stack push in the Invoker checkout fired. Read at origin/main: engine/hooks/pr-schema-gate/detect.py scopes itself by walking up for scripts/create-pr.mjs (repo_root_with_create_pr_tool) and expects the validator at scripts/validate-pr-body.mjs (VALIDATOR_RELATIVE_PATH); catstack has neither.
Alternative considerations: Adding a scripts/create-pr.mjs shim to catstack was set aside because it makes scope depend on an unrelated file again. Copying the validator to scripts/ was set aside because there are already too many copies.
Implementation details: In engine/hooks/pr-schema-gate/detect.py, find the repo root from the .git boundary, then look for the validator in a short ordered list: scripts/validate-pr-body.mjs, then engine/skills/draft-pr/scripts/validate-pr-body.mjs. A repo with either is in scope. When a PR-publishing command (gh pr create/edit with a body, gh api PATCH on pulls with a body, mergify stack push) runs in a git repo where no validator is found, return the existing unchecked outcome with a one-line reason instead of None. Keep the existing hit / clean / unchecked outcomes and messages for Invoker-shaped repos unchanged.
Non-goals: No change to the validator, preflight, install.sh, or any other hook. Do not edit engine/skills/draft-pr/scripts/validate-pr-body.mjs, scripts/pr/validate-pr-body-local.mjs, or any other file open PR #742 changes; call the validator as it is. If a change would overlap an open PR, stop and report instead.

…o the turn (#796)

* wrong-check-reflect: one shot per reply, and scope the reflect scan to the turn

Two independent lockouts kept this hook from speaking on Claude Code.

One: `already_prompted` was keyed on the transcript path, so the Stop of the
reply BEFORE a correction spent the session's single shot. The correction
itself then hit an already-prompted key. The key is now the transcript path
plus a hash of the reply text, so each distinct reply gets its own chance and
the same reply is still judged only once.

Two: `user_already_asked_reflect` scanned the whole transcript. One `/reflect`
typed at the start of a session switched the detector off for every later
reply. The scan is now scoped to the user messages of the turn that produced
the reply being judged, which is the case the skip was written for.

An unreadable transcript now says so on stderr instead of silently reading as
"the user did not ask".

The harness-parity test asserts the same reply is judged under both `Stop` and
`stop`. It passes before this change too: this hook compares no event name
anywhere, so event-name case cannot be what split its hits by harness. The
test pins that, rather than leaving the parity unstated.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Change-Id: Idb90d55fa90496fcab44e1f0255b303b5cf0b514

Three: the suppression matched any prose containing the word. A sentence
ABOUT the hook switched the hook off. `"Claim I made was wrong" is a trigger
for /reflect` describes when the detector fires; it asks for nothing, and
nothing is in flight to avoid duplicating. It now matches the harness's own
record of an invocation, the `<command-name>/reflect</command-name>` envelope.
That envelope starts with `<command-`, which the meta filter drops, so the one
unambiguous signal was being discarded while vague prose was kept; the window
now includes meta rows for this check.

Four: a missing assistant row no longer reads as "no request found". A Stop
payload can carry the reply before its row lands, and a session's first turn
has none at all; in both cases every row belongs to this turn, and bailing out
meant a real request went unhonoured.

tests/scenarios/self-correction.json: the scenario pinning this said the user
"already asked for /reflect" while its user field only mentioned the word --
its stated intent and its data disagreed. The request case now uses a real
invocation; the mention case is its own scenario and must still fire. Both
were folded into this commit rather than a later one so no commit in the stack
leaves the scenario suite red.

Erring toward asking is the safe direction: this detector recorded 1,682
Claude Code invocations and spoke 0 times.

  Ran 27 tests in 18.811s  OK   (wrong-check-reflect)
  Ran  6 tests in  0.098s  OK   (scenario suite)

Change-Id: I60c5103d0541efd34f49e2401d50f4c5e312ddf0

* wrong-check-reflect: anchor the reflect scan on the person's message, not the last assistant row

The same-turn /reflect skip read the wrong turn. It took the last
text-bearing assistant row as the reply under judgment and scanned only
back to the assistant row before it.

A Stop payload carries the reply before its transcript row is written, so
that "last assistant row" was usually the previous turn's reply. The
window then sat one turn behind: a /reflect from the turn before
suppressed this reply (the session lockout, one turn wide), and the
/reflect the person had just typed sat past the window and was ignored, so
the hook nagged for a reflect already in flight. A turn also writes more
than one assistant row -- mid-turn narration, a subagent's sidechain rows
-- and each one pushed the window's start past the message that opened
the turn.

The window now runs from the person's own last message to the end of the
file, so it does not depend on assistant rows at all. A typed slash
command counts as that message, so <command-name> leaves the harness
prefix list; <local-command stdout, which is harness echo, joins it.

Four tests, each failing before this change: reflect this turn before the
reply row lands, last turn's reflect while the reply is still being
written, mid-turn narration, and a subagent's rows.

scripts/ci/check_no_new_comments.py fails the test job on the three comment

* draft-pr: pin that a changed file's stem is a code name even when it reads like English

The PR body validator failed this branch on "self-correction" in the Summary,
because tests/scenarios/self-correction.json is a changed file. The suite
covered changed folder names and plain hyphenated English separately, but not
the overlap, which is what a person hits: an everyday phrase that happens to
be a file's name. Both directions are now tested -- it fails, and the
reworded Summary passes with the same changed files.

* wrong-check-reflect: a tool result is not the person opening a turn

Claude Code files every tool result as a `type: "user"` row, and unlike
its other injections it marks that row with neither `isMeta` nor
`isSidechain`. The turn window anchors on the newest real user row, so
the first tool call of a turn became the anchor: a `/reflect` typed at
the top of the turn fell outside the window and the hook nagged for a
reflect already asked for. A tool result quoting the word the other way
round could also suppress the nudge.

`_is_tool_result_line` reads the record the harness does write -- a
`tool_result` content block, or the `toolUseResult` field beside the
message -- the same way `engine/hooks/agent-relay-attribution/detect.py`
does, and `_is_meta_line` now files those rows under the harness rather
than the person.

Two tests: a tool result mid-turn no longer hides the turn's own
`/reflect`, and `/reflect` printed inside a grep result does not count
as a request. Both fail without the detect.py change.

…s not proof (#779)

* Make the done-gate the real path, not the layers under it

cat-mode's two e2e bullets were deleted in #68 as a duplicate of the
global Named constraints text. That text is narrower: it fires on
"UI/layout work" or on a test the user asked for. Work that was neither
-- an agent running a CI Playwright shard on the user's own Mac and
opening Electron windows on their desktop -- had no trigger left, and a
"Shipped" claim went out with no end-to-end run behind it.

Restore the gate in a form that names the surface rather than the kind
of work: any surface the repo's fixtures cannot stand in for, including
the user's own machine, session, or screen. Add the clause that failed
hardest in the incident -- "I chose not to run it" is not a blocker --
and make "admit what was not exercised" an enumeration against the
done-gate instead of a recollection.

The full text and the end-to-end argument it rests on (Saltzer, Reed &
Clark, ACM TOCS 2(4) 1984) live in the reference; SKILL.md keeps every
trigger condition, because a pointer narrower than the text it replaces
is exactly what failed here. Four tests pin the surfaces, the
not-a-blocker clause, the enumeration, and the citation.

* Count the user's own machine as a live surface, and a PR link as no proof

Replayed against this gate unchanged, both of the incident's own ship
messages return SILENT. Two defects stack, and either one alone keeps
them silent.

The live-noun list held only external services, so "the popups are
stopped on your machine" matched nothing and the gate returned before it
ever looked at evidence. Add the surfaces an agent can disturb without
leaving the desk: the user's machine, Mac, laptop, desktop, screen or
session, plus end-to-end, e2e, Playwright, Electron and popup.

The evidence scan then accepted any URL, so the two links to this
change's own pull requests discharged the gate -- while the gate's own
block text already said the PR number of this change does not prove the
live path ran. Blank a pull-request link's span before the scan, so the
two agree. Only that span: a sha, an exit code, or a fenced block beside
the link still counts, and an Actions-run URL is still a receipt.

Both incident messages are fixtures, verbatim. The negatives keep the
near neighbours silent: a mention with no claim, a link beside a real
sha, an Actions-run URL, and the follow-up message that pasted the
suite's own output.

* Stop the end-to-end idiom from counting as a live surface

The gate needs two parts within 240 characters: a ship claim and a live
noun. Listing bare `end-to-end` and `e2e` as live nouns broke that, because
`working end-to-end` and `confirmed end-to-end` are already claim phrases --
so the claim always sat on top of a live noun and the two parts collapsed
into one. "Done. The parser now works end-to-end" was blocked for showing no
live evidence it never needed.

Drop the bare idiom. It says how a check ran, not where. The surface in the
incident was the desktop the windows opened on, and `your machine`, `your
Mac`, playwright, electron and popup already name it -- every incident
fixture still fires on one of those, and `end to end on your laptop` still
fires on the laptop.

Two tests pin it: the idiom-only messages stay silent, and no claim phrase
may consist entirely of live nouns.

* Keep the end-to-end rationale out of code comments

The no-comments CI twin fails any diff that adds `#` comment lines to a
code file. The two blocks explaining why bare "end-to-end" and "e2e" are
not live nouns went in as plain comments, so the test job's last step
failed with "10 new comment line(s)".

Move the detect.py rationale into the module docstring, which the
detector skips by design (engine/hooks/no-comments/detect.py), and drop
the test-file comment: test_silent_when_only_the_idiom_names_the_surface
already carries the same reasoning in its own docstring. No behaviour
change -- LIVE_NOUN_RE and every fixture are untouched.

The gate is its own repro:
  python3 scripts/ci/check_no_new_comments.py --base origin/reflect/done-gate-real-path
before: fail  10 new comment line(s) ... (exit 1)
after:  ok      no new comments        (exit 0)

* prove-it-ship-gate: let a qualifier sit between the possessive and the surface noun

The local-surface pattern required the noun to sit immediately after
`your`, `their`, or `the user's`, so `your own machine` and `the
user's own screen` never matched. That is the exact wording the block
message, the README, and the skill all use, which meant the gate stayed
silent on a done-claim phrased the way the gate itself recommends: same
sentence, one extra word, opposite verdict.

The noun scan now accepts one optional qualifier (own, real, actual,
personal, local) after the possessive. Tests cover each qualifier and
assert the block message's own phrasing trips the scan, so the gate can
never again describe a surface it cannot detect.

* llm-judge: leave a runner that cannot answer out of the table for 6 hours

A runner that is not installed or exits non-zero is skipped by later
asks until the window ends. Timeouts and non-JSON replies do not count.
If every runner is skipped the whole table is tried, and an answer
clears the marker.

* draft-pr: pin the Review Claim half of the code-name check

CODE_NAME_SECTIONS covers Summary and Review Claim, but every code-name
test edited the Summary, so nothing exercised Review Claim. PR #799's
validate job failed there: "A judge runner that cannot answer ..." names
judge.py, a changed file, even though it reads as plain English.

Add both directions on a Review Claim -- the stem fails and names itself,
and the reworded claim passes -- so a later change cannot quietly exempt
file stems that happen to be English words.

* draft-pr tests: name the fixture instead of commenting it

The no-comments CI gate rejected the `# A changed-file list whose stem
("judge") is also an ordinary English word.` line added above JUDGE_FILES.
Comments are banned in code in this repo, so the note moves into the
constant's own name: FILES_WHOSE_STEM_IS_AN_ORDINARY_ENGLISH_WORD. The
two tests that use it read the same, and the test that needed the note
already states the reasoning in its docstring, which the gate allows.

A PR body the repo's validator accepted was reported to the agent as
"could not check", and an owed stack follow-up stayed armed.

The hook treats exit 0 alongside an UNCHECKED/SKIPPED/not-installed line
as a vacuous pass, so the validator gets no credit for a run that never
judged the body. The catstack validator prints exactly such a line for a
sub-check it skipped -- "Summary reading grade unchecked: Summary has N
words; under 30 the score is too noisy to trust" -- while still accepting
the body and exiting 0. Every accepted body with a short Summary was
therefore reported unchecked.

check_body_file now lifts the vacuous reading when the run states its own
verdict on the body (VALIDATOR_PASS_VERDICT_RE, "PR body validation
passed"). Only a pass verdict counts, so a "failed" banner beside exit 0
stays unchecked. The scan also reads the whole output rather than the
first VALIDATOR_OUTPUT_MAX_LINES: truncation shortens what the agent is
shown, never what is judged.

Two tests in tests/test_advisory.py drive a stub validator with the
catstack shape (skip note on stderr, verdict on stdout, exit 0): one
asserts the write is silent, one asserts it clears the pending follow-up.
Both fail before this change. test_validator_exit_zero_with_an_unchecked_
line_is_not_clean still passes, so the guard against a validator that
really did not run is unchanged.

PR #840's own body gate failed on `Review Claim: "draft-pr" (changed
folder name)`, and no test covered that kind. Every existing code-name
test uses a changed *file* stem, so deleting the folder loop in
changedFileNames kept the whole suite green.

Adds the real failing Review Claim as a repro plus its reworded,
passing twin. Removing `for (const folder of parts) add(folder,
'changed folder name')` now fails the new test with `0 != 1`.
