📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR adds a local-only preservation spine. It captures six Git planes, seals and restores capsule data, inventories changes, persists chained checkpoints, renders sanitized evidence, and exposes the workflow through a CLI. ChangesPreservation capsule workflow
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This PR adds a repository-preservation workflow that can capture and render repository evidence. Its sensitive-file filtering can miss secret-bearing files with unrecognized or separator-variant names, and rendered verification evidence can include data not covered by the integrity check, creating meaningful exposure and trust risks; the current head should not merge without addressing or explicitly accepting these security issues.

Full details: Description checkExplanation The description explains the feature, scope, branch history, contents, test result, known limits, and relationship to other branches. However, it does not follow the required template structure and omits the required Truth status table, explicit Risk section, rollback plan, and completed checklist items. The reported test counts also conflict across the description and PR objectives. Resolution Restructure the description using all required template sections: What and why, Scope, Truth status, Prior art and reuse, Tests, Docs and registries, and Risk. Complete the required checklist items, add claim evidence, document the reuse verdict and probes, provide the exact green-set invocation and result, and add blast radius and rollback plan. Resolve the conflicting test counts so the description reports one verified result.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When a changed tracked path contains an ordinary space, Git emits a header such as diff --git a/a b.txt b/a b.txt without quoting it. This whitespace tokenizer produces four tokens and raises diff header is malformed; because capture immediately calls inventory_change_universe, the entire capture command fails after creating a partial state directory. Use an unambiguous Git path format or parse the paired prefixes without splitting every space.

For a staged binary addition or deletion, git diff --binary emits a full-width all-zero object ID for the nonexistent side. These length checks accept that sentinel as a real blob ID, so the resulting atom claims an object such as forty zeroes instead of leaving blob_before or blob_after null. Detect the all-zero ID and preserve it as the absent side of the change.

354-362: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low valueFull-chain re-parse makes appends O(n²) over the lifetime of the log.
append_checkpointreads the whole file and calls_parse_chainon every append, then_append_with_intentreads and re-parses the file a second time for post-write verification. Writingncheckpoints therefore costs O(n²) bytes of I/O and hashing, and each call holds the full file in memory.For the current PR38 scope the chain is short, so this is not a defect. If the checkpoint log is expected to grow, consider verifying only the tail record plus the last record digest instead of re-parsing all prior records, or add a documented rotation boundary.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/superpowers/specs/pr38-checkpoint.schema.json`:
- Around line 43-49: Update the input_shas schema definition to require at least
one property by adding a minimum-property constraint, and add a schema test
confirming that an empty input_shas object is rejected.
In `@packages/preservation_spine/checkpoint.py`:
- Around line 661-672: Update _write_pending_intent to remove the pending intent
file when writing, syncing, or post-write verification fails, while preserving
the original exception. Ensure cleanup is attempted after descriptor closure so
subsequent _recover_pending_append calls can resume from the committed boundary.
- Around line 459-504: Update _locked_directory and the checkpoint/intent file
entry-change paths to fsync the parent directory on POSIX after creating or
removing either entry. Preserve the existing file fsync and locking behavior,
and ensure directory fsync errors are handled consistently with the surrounding
checkpoint durability logic.
- Line 103: The Checkpoint initialization path currently stores mutable
input_shas, allowing digest invalidation. Update _normalize_input_shas and the
Checkpoint input_shas assignment to use an immutable, hashable representation
that dataclasses.asdict serialization still supports, then add regression tests
covering mutation attempts, hashability, and serialization.
- Around line 505-513: Wrap the os.fdopen call in the checkpoint-opening flow
with cleanup that closes descriptor if fdopen raises, preserving the existing
exception behavior. Apply this around the descriptor produced by both platform
branches before the subsequent os.fstat and _assert_regular_metadata calls.
In `@packages/preservation_spine/cli.py`:
- Around line 114-116: Update the user-facing error messages in the local-only
command exception handler and _sanitized_message to replace the stale “salvage”
terminology with the current preservation_spine wording, keeping both messages
consistent.
- Around line 243-246: Update the handler producing the shown completed_actions
tuple to remove existing restore-verified and stale manifest-inventoried entries
before appending the new restore-verified action, matching the deduplication
behavior of _handle_inventory and _handle_render_github while preserving other
actions.
In `@packages/preservation_spine/git_capture.py`:
- Around line 335-356: Wrap the strict path resolution in the capture flow
around _has_symlink_parent and map FileNotFoundError caused by concurrent parent
removal to CaptureDrift, preserving the existing exclusion checks for successful
resolution. Ensure capture_planes exposes this race as a
CaptureEvidenceError-compatible CaptureDrift rather than a bare OSError.
In `@packages/preservation_spine/github_projection.py`:
- Around line 428-442: Update _sanitize_command in
packages/preservation_spine/github_projection.py (lines 428-442) to match
_UNSAFE_COMMAND_RE against normalized rather than raw value. In
packages/preservation_spine/tests/test_github_projection.py (lines 719-732), add
a percent-encoded unsafe verb case and coverage for the remaining verbs defined
by _UNSAFE_COMMAND_RE.
- Around line 299-306: Update the blocker-selection logic around
preservation_status so checkpoint.verification_digest being None is checked
independently and adds verification-digest-unbound instead of being masked by
the generic restore-check-blocked result; preserve the existing failure and
other blocked-status mappings for non-None digests.
In `@packages/preservation_spine/manifest.py`:
- Around line 563-572: Validate the parsed octal escape value in the
escape-decoding logic before appending it, rejecting values above 0o377 with the
module’s established CapsuleVerificationError rather than allowing
bytearray.append to raise ValueError. Preserve valid \000–\377 escapes and the
existing malformed-capsule error contract.
- Around line 212-272: Add a set alongside atom_ids after atom validation for
O(1) atom-reference membership checks, while retaining atom_ids for duplicate
detection. Update the missing-atom check in the item-validation loop to use this
set.
- Around line 685-699: Update both captured Git diff command invocations to
include the --full-index option, ensuring the index lines contain complete
object names that populate blob_before and blob_after. Locate the commands
associated with the diff-capture flow feeding the index parser above; do not
alter the parsing logic in the index-handling branch.
In `@packages/preservation_spine/restore.py`:
- Around line 500-515: Update the duplicate-path error raised by _manifest_facts
to use plane-neutral wording, such as “manifest contains duplicate paths,”
instead of naming the untracked inventory; preserve the existing duplicate
detection and exception type.
- Around line 248-254: Update the head-parsing logic in the restore helper to
catch non-ASCII decode failures from line.decode and raise
CapsuleVerificationError instead, preserving the existing malformed-line
handling and returned tuple for valid ASCII heads.
In `@packages/preservation_spine/seal.py`:
- Around line 99-137: Update the Windows open path around msvcrt.open_osfhandle
in the file-opening helper to convert its OSError into CapsuleVerificationError
after closing the native handle, preserving the original exception as the cause.
Keep the existing invalid-handle handling and successful descriptor flow
unchanged so callers consistently receive CapsuleVerificationError.
- Around line 358-399: Exclude files matching the pending-output pattern
“.{name}.pending-” from the sealed file universe used by _walk_regular_files, so
failed _atomic_write_fixed artifacts are not added to checksums.sha256 or
required by verify_checksums. Preserve normal payload files and existing
_SEAL_ARTIFACTS filtering.
In `@packages/preservation_spine/tests/test_checkpoint.py`:
- Around line 557-582: Adjust failing_fsync in
test_append_rolls_back_when_fsync_fails to raise only for the fsync call
performed by _append_bytes, while allowing the subsequent _restore_boundary
fsync to succeed. Keep the assertions verifying the original checkpoint and
committed file bytes.
- Around line 270-289: Update
test_load_rejects_malformed_blank_truncated_and_noncanonical_bytes so the
blank-line payload contains a valid genesis checkpoint record followed by an
empty line, allowing _parse_chain to reach its blank-line validation branch.
Assert the expected CheckpointIntegrityError message for the blank-line case,
while preserving the existing parameterized coverage for the other malformed
payloads.
In `@packages/preservation_spine/tests/test_seal_restore.py`:
- Line 410: Update the pytest.raises call in the affected test to use a raw
string for the intentional “hardlink|changed” alternation in its match pattern,
preserving the existing exception assertion and matching behavior.
---
Nitpick comments:
In `@packages/preservation_spine/checkpoint.py`:
- Around line 354-362: Document the checkpoint log’s bounded-size or rotation
boundary rather than changing parsing behavior, since the current chain length
is within scope. Add this documentation near the append/log lifecycle
implementation associated with append_checkpoint and _append_with_intent,
clearly stating the expected limit and how rotation should be handled when it is
reached.
In `@packages/preservation_spine/cli.py`:
- Around line 454-460: Update _existing_state_dir so the ValueError raised when
the sealed capsule directory validation fails explicitly chains the caught
OSError or ValueError, preserving the original exception as its cause.
- Around line 708-712: Update _sanitized_message to also replace any POSIX
absolute path, identified by a leading single “/”, with the existing generic
failure message, while preserving the current Windows drive-path and UNC-path
checks.
- Around line 663-664: Unify verification digest computation across
_verification_digest and the digest checks around restore_and_verify and
_handle_status: either hash canonical_json_bytes(record) everywhere or validate
that loaded verification.json bytes match canonical_json_bytes(record) before
using the digest. Ensure stored, recomputed, and file-based digests use one
consistent representation.
- Around line 127-140: Make both output handlers clean up destinations created
for a failed run so retries are not blocked: in
packages/preservation_spine/cli.py lines 127-140, roll back the state directory
when no checkpoint was written or include its partial path and required manual
cleanup in the error; apply the same rollback or explicit cleanup messaging to
artifacts_dir and rendered files at lines 358-362 when _copy_exact or
_write_bytes fails. Use the existing _state_directory, _new_directory_target,
and relevant output-handler flow without unrelated refactoring.
In `@packages/preservation_spine/git_capture.py`:
- Around line 408-459: Update _inventory_state to obtain file metadata without
buffering full contents: extend _read_regular_file with a metadata-only path
that streams the SHA-256 digest while retaining the metadata fields required by
fingerprints. Use that path for non-secret entries, preserving the existing
secret handling and metadata-based drift detection.
In `@packages/preservation_spine/github_projection.py`:
- Line 14: Promote _PROTECTED_LANES to the public PROTECTED_LANES name in
manifest.py, update github_projection.py to import and use PROTECTED_LANES, and
retain the private alias only if existing internal callers still require it.
- Around line 649-655: Update the module’s __all__ declaration to include
ProjectionValidationError and sort every exported name alphabetically, resolving
Ruff RUF022 while preserving the existing public exports.
- Around line 329-336: Update _preservation_status to accept and use the
unclassified and hard-stop counts already computed by _prepare_evidence,
eliminating the second manifest traversal and duplicate blocking calculation.
Also remove unused _PreparedEvidence fields computed_verification_digest,
verification, and manifest, updating construction and callers consistently.
In `@packages/preservation_spine/manifest.py`:
- Around line 1058-1070: Compute the constant _sha256(tracked_diff) value once
before the tracked_entries loop, then reuse it as the exact_digest argument in
each _file_atom call while preserving the existing atom generation behavior.
In `@packages/preservation_spine/restore.py`:
- Around line 23-32: Promote the shared helpers used by restore into a stable
public interface: expose public counterparts for _atomic_write_fixed,
_hash_regular_file, _locked_directory, _read_regular_bytes, and
_walk_regular_files from seal.py, then update restore.py to import and use those
public names while preserving their existing behavior.
- Around line 277-308: Reduce Git subprocesses in _reachable_dependency_blockers
by batching reachable-object discovery and blob inspection instead of invoking
rev-parse/ls-tree per commit and cat-file per blob. Preserve detection of mode
160000 submodules and small blobs beginning with the Git LFS pointer header,
while retaining malformed-size CapsuleVerificationError handling and sorted
blocker results.
In `@packages/preservation_spine/seal.py`:
- Around line 149-174: Refactor _consume_regular_file to return a tuple
containing the digest string and optional file bytes, eliminating its
return_bytes-dependent bytes-or-string contract. Update _read_regular_bytes and
_hash_regular_file to unpack the tuple and return their respective values
directly, removing the runtime type assertions while keeping the existing
identity validation and hashing behavior centralized.
In `@packages/preservation_spine/tests/test_checkpoint.py`:
- Around line 672-689: Update the test setup around _checkpoint to create the
base checkpoint through that helper, passing field_name and value as overrides
instead of duplicating the full defaults dictionary. Preserve the existing
invalid-value cases while relying on _checkpoint’s defaults so the tests remain
aligned with the Checkpoint fields.
- Line 215: Update the pytest.raises match arguments in the test cases around
CheckpointIntegrityError and the other listed assertions to use raw-string
prefixes for regex alternation patterns, including the assertion containing
“digest|canonical|chain”. Preserve the existing patterns and exception checks;
only make the string literals raw to satisfy RUF043.
In `@packages/preservation_spine/tests/test_cli.py`:
- Around line 285-306: Add an assertion to the idempotent verification test
after the second main call that the supplied unused-repeat-restore path does not
exist, preserving the existing checks for unchanged verification and checkpoint
files.
- Around line 28-40: Update _build_repo to configure the temporary repository
with deterministic Git settings that disable commit signing and prevent
automatic line-ending conversion, while preserving the existing user identity
setup and commit contents.
In `@packages/preservation_spine/tests/test_git_capture.py`:
- Around line 31-38: Extract a shared environment helper matching restore.py’s
_git_environment pattern: remove all GIT_* variables and set
GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL=os.devnull, GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM=1, and GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0.
Use it for subprocess.run in git within
packages/preservation_spine/tests/test_git_capture.py#L31-L38, git within
packages/preservation_spine/tests/test_seal_restore.py#L23-L31, and _run within
packages/preservation_spine/tests/test_end_to_end.py#L71-L82; no other direct
changes are needed at these sites.
In `@packages/preservation_spine/tests/test_github_projection.py`:
- Around line 108-119: Move shared test builders such as _verification,
captured_capsule, and git from individual test modules into a dedicated
tests/_builders.py module or conftest.py, then update test_cli.py and
test_manifest.py imports to use that shared location. Remove the
cross-test-module imports while preserving each builder’s existing behavior and
signatures.
- Around line 719-732: Extend
test_mutating_or_unsafe_next_safe_commands_are_rejected to include
representative commands containing merge, close, draft, push, reset, clean,
stash, checkout, and switch, plus a percent-encoded verb such as %70ush. Update
_sanitize_command in github_projection.py to apply unsafe-command detection to
the normalized decoded value, while preserving rejection of the existing unsafe
commands and paths.

Make Checkpoint.input_shas immutable without breaking serialization.
The mutable dict allows callers to invalidate digest after construction. Do not use MappingProxyType alone: dataclasses.asdict raises TypeError for it, and it remains unhashable. Use a serialization-compatible immutable representation, or update the serializer, and add regression tests.

Add parent-directory fsync calls for checkpoint entry changes.
_locked_directory retains the directory but does not fsync it. On POSIX, fsync the parent directory after creating the checkpoint or intent file and after removing either file. File fsync alone does not make these directory-entry changes crash durable.

descriptor leaks if os.fdopen raises.
Both platform branches produce a raw descriptor. Line 510 hands it to os.fdopen. If os.fdopen raises, for example OSError from an invalid mode or MemoryError, no code closes descriptor. On POSIX the descriptor still holds the LOCK_EX flock, so the leak also blocks later append_checkpoint calls in the same process until garbage collection.
Wrap the os.fdopen call so a failure closes the raw descriptor.

Return a consistent error type from the Windows open path.
Line 129 to line 132 close the handle and re-raise the raw OSError. Every other failure in this helper raises CapsuleVerificationError. Callers such as _consume_regular_file and verify_checksums catch only CapsuleVerificationError, so this path escapes as an unclassified error on Windows.

The blank-line case does not reach the blank-line branch.
The payload is b'{"a":1}\n\n'. _parse_chain processes line 1 first and calls _checkpoint_from_record({"a": 1}), which raises "checkpoint record fields do not match contract" at checkpoint.py line 331. The parser never reaches line 2, so the blank-line check at checkpoint.py lines 363-364 stays untested. The test still passes because it asserts only the exception type.
Build the payload from a valid genesis record followed by an empty line, and assert the specific message.

The fsync test exercises rollback failure, not rollback success.
failing_fsync fails every call from the second onward. Call 1 is the fsync in _write_pending_intent. Call 2 is the fsync in _append_bytes. Call 3 is the fsync inside _restore_boundary, so the rollback itself also fails. The raised message is then "checkpoint append failed and rollback did not restore committed boundary", which still satisfies match="fsync|append|write" through the word "append". The test therefore passes without proving that rollback restores the boundary.
Fail only the append fsync, so the rollback path can complete.

…k board section
The operator asked mid-session whether insights were being written anywhere
durable and whether the available skills were being used. Checked rather
than asserted, and the answer was no on every count: zero agentmemory
writes, zero work-board entries, one skill invoked out of twenty-nine, and
zero consensus claims on Module-to-System-class changes.
That is a verbatim repeat of the failure this same work board already
documents at A.0000000. Producing good work is not a defence — undocumented
good work is exactly the cost the operator has named repeatedly, and the
quality of the output makes the omission more expensive rather than less,
because more is lost.
Canonical memories added under docs/agent-memory/ (the repo-owned surface;
agentmemory is Plane A and is not canon):
feedback/record-as-you-go-not-at-the-end.md
Recording is part of the work item, not a closing ritual. Includes the
measured evidence of the omission so the next reader can see the shape
rather than take the rule on faith.
project/ci-green-list-ratchet.md
The measured baseline behind the required gate: full suite 77 failed /
459 passed on main @ c1f51ac, green set 346 passed in ~14s. The list
only ever widens; narrowing it to make a PR pass is the failure mode
the design exists to prevent.
project/jsonschema-format-silent-noop.md
FormatChecker registers no checker for date-time without an RFC-3339
backend, so capability issued_at validation accepted anything. Passed
locally only because rfc3339-validator happened to be installed
transitively.
project/hash-pins-need-repin-discipline.md
The orient-skill sha256 contract sat red because a kernel-rename commit
changed the pinned file without re-pinning. Records the method — establish
what changed and that it was right, then re-pin — because updating a pin
to make a test green turns a drift detector into a rubber stamp.
MEMORY.md index updated, entries placed in alphabetical position.
Work board gains Section 0.1c covering the branch separation, the GitHub
config pass, the merge-order caveat that python-ci.yml only exists on #44's
branch so #41 and #43 are not yet gated by it, and the three items that need
the operator directly. Row 0.3 resolved; rows 0.12 (hook surface split-brain,
an armed footgun), 0.13 (jsonschema undeclared in ARF/requirements.txt), and
0.14 (this defect, corrected) added.

When the source has a stash, snapshot_subject records it only for drift detection, while this call passes the local-history plane only the resolved HEAD; _write_history_plane consequently fetches and bundles that single ref. Because stash commits are not reachable from HEAD, neither the stash ref nor its worktree/index commits are preserved, so later cleanup of the source can permanently lose state that the capsule claims to protect.

For every non-secret tracked file, the manifest records the raw worktree SHA-256 but these writes retain only the Git diff and metadata, discarding the bytes that produced that digest. With EOL conversion or clean/smudge attributes, Git can normalize the worktree representation in the diff—or produce no diff for bytewise differences—so after the source checkout is removed the capsule cannot reconstruct or verify the exact tracked bytes despite marking this plane byte-equality/PASS.

When core.splitIndex is enabled, the active index copied here contains a link extension that depends on a separate $GIT_DIR/sharedindex.<oid> file. Since that backing file is not copied into the capsule, index.raw alone cannot restore the complete index entry set; the staged diff is not a byte-for-byte substitute and may not retain conflict-stage or index-extension state. Capture the referenced shared index files or fail closed for split indexes.

…hole capture Eight PR #43 review findings, each reproduced against the real code or real git output before being touched. Two of them mean the spine could not do the job it exists for. Every text change captured null provenance (Codex P1 + CodeRabbit) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Neither diff invocation passed --full-index, so Git abbreviated the `index` object names to 7 characters. `_diff_atoms` only records an id of length 40 or 64, so both blob identities came back None -- on every ordinary staged or unstaged text change. Measured against git 2.54: as shipped blob_before=None blob_after=None --full-index blob_before=4b48deed... blob_after=5ea2ed41... A preservation capsule whose purpose is reconstructable provenance was recording none, silently. Two tools flagged it independently. A path containing a space aborted the capture (Codex, P1) ----------------------------------------------------------- Git does not quote an ordinary space, so `diff --git a/a b.txt b/a b.txt` is one valid header with four space-separated words. The tokenizer split on every space and required exactly two, raising "diff header is malformed" -- and since `capture` calls `inventory_change_universe` immediately, the whole capture died after leaving a partial state directory. This repository tracks 186 paths containing spaces. The spine could not capture the tree it was written to preserve. The header now disambiguates on the `a/`...` b/` prefix pair, with quoted paths still tokenized normally. Fixing that exposed a second bug underneath it: the unified `---`/`+++` lines carry a trailing TAB whenever the path would be ambiguous, and the tab made `_safe_manifest_path` reject the path as unprintable. Only reachable for paths with spaces, which is why it had never surfaced. The all-zero sentinel was recorded as a blob (Codex, P2) ---------------------------------------------------------- Git emits an all-zero object id for the nonexistent side of a binary addition or deletion. It is exactly 40 or 64 characters, so the length check accepted it and wrote forty zeroes into the manifest as a real blob identity. The absent side stays null now. Percent-encoding bypassed the mutating-command guard (CodeRabbit, Major) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- `_UNSAFE_COMMAND_RE` was matched against the RAW value while every other guard in the function inspects the normalized one -- and normalization percent-decodes. Verified before the fix: "git push" -> rejected "git %70ush" -> ACCEPTED, rendered into the projection as "git push" The tests never included an encoded verb, so nothing caught it. A failed write could join the sealed universe (CodeRabbit, Major) ------------------------------------------------------------------- `.{name}.pending-{hex}` files are what a FAILED atomic write leaves behind -- the docstring says so. `_walk_regular_files` excluded only the exact `_SEAL_ARTIFACTS` names, so a leftover was walked into `checksums.sha256` on the next successful seal, becoming authenticated capsule payload that `verify_checksums` then required to be present forever. A half-written intent wedged the checkpoint (CodeRabbit, Major) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Both public entry points call `_recover_pending_append` first, which raises on a truncated intent. So a fragment left by a failed write froze `append_checkpoint` AND `load_latest_checkpoint` for that path until an operator deleted it by hand. The intent write is all-or-nothing now, cleaning up on BaseException so an interrupt -- the likeliest way to produce a fragment -- is covered too. Validation was O(N^2) in atoms (CodeRabbit, Major) ---------------------------------------------------- Every atom reference on every item was tested against a list with `in`. `inventory_change_universe` creates one atom and one item per capsule entry, so cost grew quadratically and dominated `inventory` on large planes. Added a set for membership; the list stays for duplicate detection. An empty input_shas validated (CodeRabbit, Major) --------------------------------------------------- `input_shas` was required but `{}` satisfied it, so a digest-chained checkpoint could authenticate its own history while binding to no captured source revision at all -- internally consistent and meaningless. `minProperties: 1` now, with the reason recorded in the schema description. Also: test_end_to_end computed its own expected diff bytes without --full-index, so it had to be aligned or it would assert the old truncated form -- the test was encoding the bug. Verified: 340 passed, 1 skipped (baseline was 325 + 1). The 15 new tests in test_review_regressions.py each demonstrate the specific failure, including the before/after for null provenance and the encoded-verb bypass.

When a rename goes from an ASCII path to a non-ASCII path, Git emits a mixed header such as diff --git a/ascii.txt "b/\303\251.txt". Because this branch only invokes the quoted tokenizer when the first path is quoted, it searches the mixed header for an unquoted b/ delimiter and raises diff header is malformed; the capture CLI then aborts during its immediate inventory step and leaves an incomplete state directory. Fresh evidence after the space-path fix is that an ASCII-to-UTF-8 staged rename still reproduces this failure, so tokenize both path fields independently.

When verify is rerun after a verification checkpoint, changing any sealed payload file while leaving verification.json untouched takes this shortcut: only the verification-record digest is checked, so the command reports the old verification-complete result without detecting the capsule checksum failure. This makes the verification command itself falsely attest to a capsule that has changed since the prior run; call verify_checksums and confirm the current provenance root against the checkpoint before returning idempotently.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When the CLI is invoked with ambient variables such as GIT_DIR, GIT_INDEX_FILE, or GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY set—for example from a Git hook—copying the entire environment lets those variables override the repository selected by git -C. A set GIT_DIR can make history and index queries read another repository while worktree paths still come from --repo, producing a hybrid or failed capsule instead of preserving the requested source. Strip Git routing/configuration variables here, as the clean-room restore environment already does, before adding GIT_OPTIONAL_LOCKS=0.

…check
Codex, P1, and correct. I documented this exact trap on python-ci.yml's trigger
and then reproduced it one file over.
`Compile check (wasm32)` and `Format` are meant to be required. GitHub leaves a
required check PENDING -- not passing -- when its workflow is skipped by path
filtering, so the `pull_request` paths filter would hang every PR that touches
no Rust.
Measured against the PRs actually open right now, rather than argued:
#43 26 files 0 rust-matching
#45 2 files 0
#49 2 files 0
#51 2 files 0
#53 2 files 0
#54 1 file 0
Six of seven. Every one of them would have sat pending forever the moment the
check was marked required.
Fixed the way Codex suggested, which is better than simply dropping the filter:
run on every pull request and skip the expensive work, rather than skipping the
workflow. A `changes` job diffs against the base ref and sets one output; `fmt`
and `wasm-check` always run and always report, but their toolchain setup, cargo
cache and actual cargo invocation are gated on it. A non-Rust PR gets a green
check in seconds with an explicit "No Rust changes" step saying why, and no
cache write.
The detector is plain git plus grep -- no third-party action, which matters in a
workflow whose other change this cycle was pinning a third-party action to a
SHA. Non-pull_request events (push, schedule, merge_group, workflow_dispatch)
always take the full path.
Regex verified against real paths: ARF/src/lib.rs, ARF/Cargo.toml,
ARF/Cargo.lock and .github/workflows/rust-ci.yml match; requirements-ci.txt,
docs/x.md and packages/y.py do not.
The held clippy/test/clippy-sarif jobs are untouched and still dispatch-only.

…tested tampering Four more PR #43 findings, each reproduced first. The header fix was incomplete (Codex, P1) ------------------------------------------ Git quotes each path field on its OWN merits, so a rename from an ASCII name to a non-ASCII one emits a mixed header: diff --git a/ascii.txt "b/\303\251.txt" My previous fix branched on whether the FIRST field was quoted and handled both the same way, so a mixed header fell into the unquoted path, found no bare " b/" delimiter, and raised "diff header is malformed" -- aborting the capture. Reproduced with an ASCII-to-UTF-8 staged rename. The two fields are tokenised independently now. Verified across five shapes: plain, space-in-path, non-ASCII both sides, mixed rename, and space-to-space rename. Ambient Git routing could redirect the capture (Codex, P1) ------------------------------------------------------------ `_git_environment` copied os.environ wholesale, so ambient GIT_DIR, GIT_INDEX_FILE and GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY overrode the repository chosen by `git -C`. Under a Git hook -- a plausible trigger for a capture -- all three are set, so history and index queries would read a DIFFERENT repository while worktree paths still came from --repo: a hybrid capsule claiming to preserve the requested source. restore.py already stripped these; capture did not. Verified by poisoning GIT_DIR at a decoy repo and confirming capture still reads the requested HEAD. Deliberately NOT adopting restore's GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL=/dev/null. Restore builds a clean room and wants machine-independent behaviour; capture must read the source AS CONFIGURED, because core.autocrlf, gitattributes and clean/smudge filters are part of what the bytes on disk are. Stripping routing points at the right repository -- it is not licence to reinterpret its contents. There is a test asserting that distinction. verify re-attested a capsule that had changed (Codex, P1) ----------------------------------------------------------- The idempotent shortcut compared only verification.json's own digest. Changing a sealed payload byte while leaving that record untouched took the shortcut and re-reported the old `verification-complete`. For a preservation tool that is the worst failure available: not missing damage, but certifying its absence. `verify_checksums` now runs before the shortcut, and a changed capsule reports `verification-stale` with the underlying error instead. Red-green verified: removing the revalidation fails the new test. Split index lost the entries it pointed at (Codex, P1) -------------------------------------------------------- Under core.splitIndex, `.git/index` is a stub carrying a `link` extension to `$GIT_DIR/sharedindex.<oid>`, which holds the actual entry set. Measured on a two-file repository: index 186 bytes, backing file 104 bytes, `link` present. Copying index.raw alone preserved a pointer to a file the capsule did not contain, and the staged diff is no substitute -- it carries neither conflict-stage entries nor index extensions. The backing files are now copied beside index.raw and recorded with their digests in the plane metadata. Also: RUF022 __all__ ordering. Verified: 344 passed, 1 skipped (was 340 + 1). Ruff clean across the package. Still open from this round, confirmed and deliberately NOT rushed ----------------------------------------------------------------- Two findings are real and are design changes to the capsule format rather than bugs, and doing them badly is worse than scheduling them: * refs/stash is recorded for drift detection but not bundled, so stash commits -- unreachable from HEAD -- are not preserved. * The tracked plane stores the diff and a worktree SHA-256 but not the bytes, so under EOL conversion or clean/smudge attributes the exact worktree bytes may not be reconstructable despite the plane being marked byte-equality. Both need the plane to either carry more, or stop claiming what it does not deliver. Named here so neither is lost.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
On Unix, Git permits tracked, untracked, and ignored filenames containing arbitrary non-UTF-8 bytes. Decoding such a name with surrogateescape leaves surrogate code points in the inventory, and _inventory_state later passes them to canonical_json_bytes, whose UTF-8 encoding raises UnicodeEncodeError; consequently capture aborts for an otherwise valid repository. Preserve these path bytes using a reversible JSON-safe encoding rather than carrying surrogates into canonical JSON.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When a tracked path is redacted by the secret policy, its metadata is written under local-tracked, but this lookup uses the nonexistent local-tracked-worktree directory and silently skips it. The resulting capsule.json therefore omits every tracked secret from its top-level exclusions list, even though the tracked plane is marked redacted and ineligible.

If --output has a basename containing an ordinary unsupported character such as a space, _state_directory first creates the state directory and capture_planes writes all six planes before this validation rejects the name. The command then returns failure while leaving a large partial, unsealed output that cannot be retried at the same path; validate state_dir.name before beginning capture.

…tier 2 RENAME. The subsystem was named for the PR that motivated it, not for what it does. Across ~4,900 lines there were exactly two PR38 couplings — an enum value and a docstring — and its own design spec frames the goal generally: "make preservation, resumability, and claim-scoped verification first-class products rather than incidental setup." Named for the capability now: packages/salvage_spine/ -> packages/preservation_spine/ scripts/pr38_salvage.py -> scripts/preservation_spine.py docs/.../pr38-capsule.schema.json -> preservation-capsule.schema.json docs/.../pr38-salvage-manifest... -> preservation-manifest.schema.json docs/.../pr38-stop-merge-comment.md-> stop-merge-comment.md PlaneId.REMOTE_PR "remote-pr38" -> "remote-pr" The enum value is a data contract that appears inside sealed capsules and their schema, so changing it is a capsule-format break. Done deliberately now: there is no production caller and the only existing capsules are PR38 artifacts under .toilet scratch. The same break later would not be free. Provenance kept in two docstrings — the origin is worth recording, the coupling was not. ADR-18 TIER 2 REGISTRATION, with two direct probes rather than assertions (the gate requires >=1 probed candidate for a build verdict): - git bundle --all — PROBED. Staged a change, left an unstaged change, added an untracked file, bundled, cloned. Committed content survives; index, worktree and untracked do NOT. Covers 1 of 6 planes. This is exactly the gap that lost the cleaned opencode.jsonc during the 2026-08-09 root pass. - git stash -u — PROBED. Created a real merge conflict, staged a resolution, stashed. MERGE_HEAD destroyed, staged resolution destroyed, pop restored neither. Reproduces the failure that forced a full redo of the pr/38 reconciliation earlier today. Actively unsafe mid-operation. - restic/borg, BagIt, OCFL, in-toto — evaluated, not probed, each with a stated reason. BagIt recorded as the strongest partial and the thing to revisit if the capsule format is ever published beyond this workspace. Verdict: build. Irreducible delta: no candidate captures index, tracked worktree and untracked inventory alongside commits as one restore-testable unit anchored to an exact remote SHA, with fail-closed semantics. REGISTRY HYGIENE. Repathed the two schema entries I had first registered under docs/specs/ when they live in docs/superpowers/specs/. Pruned 8 dead entries: the ADR-10/ADR-11 pre-rename names, four hooks that moved out of scripts/ in cc216f8 and are registered at their real location, the old pr38_salvage.py path, and research_log.py which is absent from the merged tree (re-register if restored). Verified: 325 passed, 1 skipped in the renamed package. spec_gate 103 registered, 0 missing, 0 reuse violations, 0 stale. All 6 materializer steps clean.

…hole capture Eight PR #43 review findings, each reproduced against the real code or real git output before being touched. Two of them mean the spine could not do the job it exists for. Every text change captured null provenance (Codex P1 + CodeRabbit) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Neither diff invocation passed --full-index, so Git abbreviated the `index` object names to 7 characters. `_diff_atoms` only records an id of length 40 or 64, so both blob identities came back None -- on every ordinary staged or unstaged text change. Measured against git 2.54: as shipped blob_before=None blob_after=None --full-index blob_before=4b48deed... blob_after=5ea2ed41... A preservation capsule whose purpose is reconstructable provenance was recording none, silently. Two tools flagged it independently. A path containing a space aborted the capture (Codex, P1) ----------------------------------------------------------- Git does not quote an ordinary space, so `diff --git a/a b.txt b/a b.txt` is one valid header with four space-separated words. The tokenizer split on every space and required exactly two, raising "diff header is malformed" -- and since `capture` calls `inventory_change_universe` immediately, the whole capture died after leaving a partial state directory. This repository tracks 186 paths containing spaces. The spine could not capture the tree it was written to preserve. The header now disambiguates on the `a/`...` b/` prefix pair, with quoted paths still tokenized normally. Fixing that exposed a second bug underneath it: the unified `---`/`+++` lines carry a trailing TAB whenever the path would be ambiguous, and the tab made `_safe_manifest_path` reject the path as unprintable. Only reachable for paths with spaces, which is why it had never surfaced. The all-zero sentinel was recorded as a blob (Codex, P2) ---------------------------------------------------------- Git emits an all-zero object id for the nonexistent side of a binary addition or deletion. It is exactly 40 or 64 characters, so the length check accepted it and wrote forty zeroes into the manifest as a real blob identity. The absent side stays null now. Percent-encoding bypassed the mutating-command guard (CodeRabbit, Major) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- `_UNSAFE_COMMAND_RE` was matched against the RAW value while every other guard in the function inspects the normalized one -- and normalization percent-decodes. Verified before the fix: "git push" -> rejected "git %70ush" -> ACCEPTED, rendered into the projection as "git push" The tests never included an encoded verb, so nothing caught it. A failed write could join the sealed universe (CodeRabbit, Major) ------------------------------------------------------------------- `.{name}.pending-{hex}` files are what a FAILED atomic write leaves behind -- the docstring says so. `_walk_regular_files` excluded only the exact `_SEAL_ARTIFACTS` names, so a leftover was walked into `checksums.sha256` on the next successful seal, becoming authenticated capsule payload that `verify_checksums` then required to be present forever. A half-written intent wedged the checkpoint (CodeRabbit, Major) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Both public entry points call `_recover_pending_append` first, which raises on a truncated intent. So a fragment left by a failed write froze `append_checkpoint` AND `load_latest_checkpoint` for that path until an operator deleted it by hand. The intent write is all-or-nothing now, cleaning up on BaseException so an interrupt -- the likeliest way to produce a fragment -- is covered too. Validation was O(N^2) in atoms (CodeRabbit, Major) ---------------------------------------------------- Every atom reference on every item was tested against a list with `in`. `inventory_change_universe` creates one atom and one item per capsule entry, so cost grew quadratically and dominated `inventory` on large planes. Added a set for membership; the list stays for duplicate detection. An empty input_shas validated (CodeRabbit, Major) --------------------------------------------------- `input_shas` was required but `{}` satisfied it, so a digest-chained checkpoint could authenticate its own history while binding to no captured source revision at all -- internally consistent and meaningless. `minProperties: 1` now, with the reason recorded in the schema description. Also: test_end_to_end computed its own expected diff bytes without --full-index, so it had to be aligned or it would assert the old truncated form -- the test was encoding the bug. Verified: 340 passed, 1 skipped (baseline was 325 + 1). The 15 new tests in test_review_regressions.py each demonstrate the specific failure, including the before/after for null provenance and the encoded-verb bypass.

When a valid Git path uses decomposed UTF-8, such as e\u0301.txt on Linux, this validation accepts it and capture writes and seals all planes, but the immediate inventory rejects the same path at manifest.py:456-457 because it is not NFC. The command then exits 1 with a sealed, checkpointless state directory that cannot be retried at the same output path. Preserve the original path through a reversible JSON-safe encoding, or reject unsupported normalization before creating the state directory.

Hermes adversarial review — verdict: REQUEST_CHANGES (filed as comment; author-account cannot request changes on own PR)
Joint audit of #43 (head 7f27578c) + stacked #59 (48e38f8e). Verified: 33 commits / 26 files / +14375 −6 (body still says 31/25 — stale). Merge order is mandatory: #43 first, #59 immediately after; do not merge #43 without #59 (it patches races still live here).
Critical
- Inventory / render-github / stop-merge are unreachable on any real capsule. Four planes are hard-wired opaque+BLOCKED (
git_capture.py:116-121,restore.py:471/476always addsopaque-preservation-ineligible), while_verification_inventory_eligible(cli.py:723-736) demands every plane PASS. The only PASS-path test monkeypatchesrestore_and_verify(test_cli.py:374-382, and #59's dedupe test at:598does the same). The GitHub-facing control this package exists to emit cannot be generated in production. Fix: split "preserved and restore-tested" from "eligible to release" — let inventory/render run on BLOCKED-but-authenticated capsules; add one un-mocked e2e asserting the real outcome.
Important
- CLI catches a dummy exception class.
cli.py:124-125defines a localCheckpointIntegrityError; realcheckpoint.CheckpointIntegrityErrorandCaptureDriftfall to the genericexceptand emit "local-only salvage command failed". #59's careful race classification is invisible at the product boundary. Fix: import the real classes, delete the dummy. LOCAL_TRACKEDclaims BYTE_EQUALITY while storing diff+hash only (models.py:116-119vsgit_capture.py:819-829). False reconstructability on the one plane this repo actually edits. Store worktree bytes or downgrade the disposition.- Leftover
source.gitsealed into every history plane (git_capture.py:636-685); plane digest walk (:713-716) follows symlinks, unlike seal's nofollow walk. Delete after bundling; reuse the nofollow walker. - Capture honors
diff.external— no--no-ext-diffongit diff --cached/diff-files(git_capture.py:245-258). Operator config can substitute captured bytes. Add the flag. - Secret policy poisons whole plane on substring hit (
git_capture.py:47-69):docs/seed.mdblocks LOCAL_UNTRACKED entirely;aws-keys.jsonpasses. Match path components/suffixes; redact per-entry. - Failed capture wedges retry —
mkdir(exist_ok=False)then no rollback (cli.py:497-505). - Windows durability unproven where this repo runs.
_fsync_parent_directoryno-ops on NT (#59checkpoint.py:653-654), ctypes paths patched-not-executed, CI is ubuntu-only. Add a windows-latest job forpackages/preservation_spine/testsor document best-effort.
On #59 specifically
Right patch, right parent. Verified repairs: genesis-before-intent durability + _discard_unpublished_genesis, FileNotFound→CaptureDrift, fd leak on fdopen failure, digest-unbound unmasking, octal/non-ASCII classification. Remaining: _remove_empty_checkpoint_file (checkpoint.py:885-904) size-check-then-unlink is a TOCTOU under the directory lock's scope — verify the lock excludes concurrent genesis writers or hold the fd. Body cites base 073c85e6; GitHub base is 7f27578c.
Verified strengths
Fail-closed contracts throughout (nofollow opens, hardlink/reparse rejection, O_EXCL intents, all-or-nothing intent writes, GIT_* env stripping, clean-room restore); real bugs reproduced-then-fixed (--full-index provenance, space paths, mixed headers, verify re-attesting tamper); provenance honestly labeled local-unanchored; #59 small and regression-tested. Green set is real (681/696 passing) — but full suite is advisory with 69 failures elsewhere, and none of the Windows paths execute in CI.
Land as a stack after items 1-2 (minimum) are fixed or explicitly accepted in the body as known limits.
The CLI defined a dummy CheckpointIntegrityError at module scope that shadowed the real checkpoint.CheckpointIntegrityError. main() caught the dummy, so real CheckpointIntegrityError plus CaptureDrift and CaptureUnverifiable fell through to the generic 'local-only salvage command failed' handler, hiding actionable diagnostics from operators. - Import CheckpointIntegrityError from .checkpoint - Import CaptureDrift, CaptureEvidenceError, CaptureUnverifiable from .git_capture - Delete the dummy class - Catch CaptureEvidenceError (base) alongside the other known errors in main() - Add test: monkeypatch capture_planes to raise CaptureDrift and assert the real message reaches stderr, not the generic fallback
…ed vs releasable
The old _verification_inventory_eligible predicate required all planes
PASS with zero blockers. Every real capsule has opaque-preservation-
ineligible or redacted-evidence-ineligible blockers on design-ineligible
planes, so inventory and render-github were unreachable on ANY real
capsule — only monkeypatched tests passed.
New two-predicate contract:
- _verification_authenticated: checksums PASS, commit/tree/artifact
match, planes exist, no FAIL planes. Blockers allowed if only from
{opaque-preservation-ineligible, redacted-evidence-ineligible,
excluded-evidence-ineligible} — these mean 'plane is opaque by
design', not 'evidence is missing or fake'. Sufficient for inventory
and render-github.
- _verification_releasable: old strict check — all PASS, zero blockers.
Required for containment.
Updated all 5 call sites: verify handler (idempotent + new paths),
inventory handler, render-github handler, status handler. Verify JSON
output now includes containment_eligible alongside inventory_eligible.
Updated tests:
- test_cli_flow: renamed to _authenticated_but_not_releasable, now
expects verify rc=0, inventory_eligible=True, containment_eligible=False,
inventory succeeds.
- test_blocked_verification_is_repeatable: first/repeat verify now rc=0
(authenticated), tampered path still rc=1.
- test_real_end_to_end_flow: un-mocked e2e now expects verify rc=0,
inventory rc=0, render rc=0, stop-merge-comment.md contains NOT READY,
4 checkpoint phases (capture → verify → inventory → projection).
346 passed, 1 skipped.
…e nofollow digest walker 43-D: source.git cleanup: - After creating repository.bundle in _write_history_plane, shutil.rmtree the temporary bare repo (bundle is the sealed artifact; source.git is build scaffolding). Windows-safe onerror handler clears readonly bit on git pack files before removal. - Updated tests: object-format probe removed (identity.json records it); test_sha256_partial_capture asserts source.git absent and identity.json has correct object_format. nofollow digest: - _directory_digest now uses _walk_plane_files (lstat-based nofollow walker) instead of rglob/is_file which silently follows symlinks. Symlinks inside a plane raise CaptureEvidenceError, matching seal.py's safety model. - _shared_index_files uses is_symlink() guard before exists() to prevent a compromised .git sharedindex.* symlink from redirecting the capsule.
…, not substring 43-E: SecretPolicy.is_secret now matches markers against: - exact path component equality (e.g. '.env' == '.env') - dotfile prefix (e.g. '.env' matches '.env.local', '.env.prod.local') - suffix match (e.g. '.key' matches 'private.key') - separator-bounded token in the filename stem (e.g. 'token' in 'my-token', 'seed' in 'wallet-seed', 'api_key' in 'api_key') Previously it did substring casefold of the whole relative path, so docs/seed.md matched marker 'seed' and seedling.md matched 'seed' — both false positives on documentation files. The new _marker_in_stem helper only matches when the stem contains a dash or underscore separator, so bare stems like 'seed' in 'seed.md' do NOT match while compound names like 'wallet-seed.txt' still do. Updated existing tests: renamed test fixture paths to use compound names that match the new policy (myTOKEN.txt → my-TOKEN.txt, Credentials.json → my-credential.json, MNEMONIC.md → wallet-mnemonic.md, .ENV[prod].local → .env.prod.local). Added parametric test with the brief's exact cases: docs/seed.md NOT redacted, .env redacted, my-token.txt redacted, seedling.md NOT redacted. 355 passed, 1 skipped.
…genesis checkpoint 43-F: _handle_capture now wraps capture_planes + seal_capsule + capsule record write in a try/except. If any step fails before the genesis checkpoint is written, the output directory is removed (shutil.rmtree with ignore_errors) so a re-run is not blocked by a partial capsule state. Without this, a failed capture left an untracked partial directory that _state_directory would refuse to overwrite on the next attempt. Added test: monkeypatch capture_planes to raise CaptureDrift, assert output dir does not exist after CLI returns exit 1.
…kers Self-review of b3c62b9 found an under-redaction regression: the separator-bounded token matcher missed 'secrets.txt', 'credentials.json', 'mnemonic.txt', 'keystore.jks', '.secret', and 'myseed' — all names the old whole-path substring policy caught and a preservation capsule must never leak. Replace the token matcher with stem-substring matching: the marker must appear in the filename stem (not in directory components, not in the extension). This keeps the brief's anti-false-positive goal (directory prefixes like 'docs/' no longer contribute) while restoring fail-closed behavior on real secret names. 'docs/seed.md' and 'seedling.md' are redacted — this is intentional. Over-redaction is recoverable (rename the file); under-redaction is not. Empirical regression check: zero under-redaction vs the old policy across a 38-case corpus of secret-shaped and doc-shaped filenames. 90 passed (git_capture + cli).

When a staged path has a configured diff.<driver>.textconv, --no-ext-diff does not disable that helper: with Git 2.43 I confirmed this invocation executes the textconv twice, and a helper returning identical text for both blobs makes staged.diff empty while both before/after snapshots still compare equal. It can also mutate locations outside the monitored worktree. Git documents --no-textconv separately as disallowing external text-conversion filters, so add it to the staged diff invocation.

When the repository has diff.noprefix=true or diff.mnemonicPrefix=true, this porcelain command emits headers such as diff --git f f or diff --git c/f i/f, but _split_diff_header requires a/ and b/; I reproduced capture's immediate inventory failing with diff header is malformed for a staged edit. Git documents that diff.noprefix removes source/destination prefixes, so pass explicit --src-prefix=a/ --dst-prefix=b/ options before recording output. (git-config documentation)

There was a problem hiding this comment.
If verification.json gains an extra field after verification—for example a producer adds an absolute source path or secret-bearing diagnostic—this loader silently discards it, so inventory and _prepare_evidence recompute the original bound digest and accept the record, while render-github later copies the raw file including that unvalidated field into its publishable artifacts. Require the raw bytes to equal canonical JSON for the exact verification schema (including exact field sets) before accepting or copying the record.

Bind the raw verification.json bytes before rendering.
_prepare_evidence validates only the parsed VerificationRecord, while _handle_render_github copies the raw file. Extra JSON fields or formatting changes can therefore pass validation and be emitted as checkpoint evidence. Compare the raw file digest with latest.verification_digest, and copy the same bytes that passed the check.

Normalize separator variants before matching secret markers.
The default policy contains api_key and id_rsa, but line 66 compares them directly with the filename stem. Therefore, api-key.txt and id-rsa bypass redaction and can be copied into capsule payloads.
Normalize - and _ before comparison. Add regression cases for both filename forms.

In `@packages/preservation_spine/git_capture.py` at line 66, Update the
secret-marker matching logic around the visible marker comparison to normalize
hyphens and underscores consistently in both the filename stem and configured
markers before checking containment, so api-key and id-rsa variants are
redacted. Add regression cases covering both separator forms.

What this is
The preservation spine, on its own, as originally intended: a standalone feature branch containing only the PR38 preservation/verification spine and nothing else.
It branches directly off
main(fast-forward ancestor verified) and carries 40 commits / 26 files / +14686 −6 (including the real-exception-class fix from this review round). No reconciliation work, no PR41 content, no unrelated review fixes.Why a separate PR
The spine was previously entangled with the PR41 reconciliation line via a merge commit (
c7c62d0 merge: bring the salvage/preservation spine onto the reconciled line), which made the spine branch a superset of PR41 and impossible to review as a feature. That merge is dropped here; the spine commits were cherry-picked ontoorigin/mainin an isolated worktree.Contents

salvage_spinewas renamed topreservation_spinein the final commit. The rename is collapsed in this branch's diff againstmain, so nosalvage_spinepath appears — that is expected, not a missing file.Test status
✅ 366 passed, 1 skipped on the standalone branch (all fixes from this review round included).

One conflict arose during the cherry-pick, in
docs/specs/spec-registry.json. Resolved by takingmain's registry wholesale and adding only the three spine entries on top — 93 entries in the result. Nomainregistry entry was dropped or rewritten.Relationship to the other branches
feat/preservation-spine(existing remote branch) is left untouched. It still carries the entangled superset line.Summary by CodeRabbit
