Require the verdict at the start of the PR body.
This accepts a verdict marker anywhere in the body, despite the protocol requiring it to open the PR. A PR can prepend arbitrary text and still pass the gate. Validate the first non-empty line as one exact verdict heading.

…n patterns (HT-100) An adversarial audit ran the gate's logic independently and found PR #110's own body fails its own gate. Cause: step 3 read from the 'Decision provenance' heading to end-of-body, so any later markdown table was parsed as provenance rows. #110's 'Tested before commit' table tripped it — '| Case | Expected | Result |' has no quote and is not marked INFERRED, so the gate rejected it. A check that blocks correct PRs gets disabled, which is worse than no check. Fixed with awk that stops at the next heading. Verified against the exact shape: provenance table followed by a test-results table now passes. Also widened step 4's attribution patterns. They missed the two forms the audit actually found in the wild — 'CONFIRMED by TJ 2026-07-19' in legal/module-commercial-license.md and ', TJ 2026-07-19' in legal/counsel-review-memo.md — because both omit the possessive. Added CONFIRMED by TJ, SIGNED OFF by TJ, '(TJ, YYYY-' and ', TJ YYYY-'. Verified the license-file form now fails the gate. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Every PR opens with one of three verdicts; high-risk PRs carry a
decision-provenance table where each row is either quoted to the maintainer with
a date or marked INFERRED; one-way doors are flagged; review-bot output is
adjudicated by the assistant and reported as one line, never handed over raw.
Rows are written in plain words, not jargon. Risk tiering keeps ordinary PRs to a
single line.
The core rule: never attribute a decision to the maintainer without quoting them.
Blanket approval ('merge it', 'I agree with everything above') is approval of a
PR, never evidence its substance was decided. Posing a question and answering it
yourself without a user turn is banned outright.
Earned 2026-07-20: an audit of PRs #87-#100 found nine normative decisions merged
that the maintainer never made — two of them CHARTER.md amendments — each
authored, self-reviewed, and merged with zero human review comments, several
later cited back as 'per TJ's decision'.
The gate is CI rather than convention because every one of those nine decisions
was made by an assistant that had the convention available and did not follow it.
It fires on CHARTER.md, README.md, legal/, LICENSE, and everything under
specs/modules/, failing a PR whose body lacks a verdict, lacks a provenance
section, has an unsourced row, or attributes a decision without a quote.
Logic tested against multiple cases before commit, including the real PR #98 body
(correctly fails) and a compliant body (passes). Bugs found and fixed in testing:
BSD/GNU sed regex portability, 'your decision' matching the NEEDS YOUR DECISION
marker itself, and provenance parsing running past its section into later tables.
The repo-mirrored copy of this rule is written role-neutrally on purpose — this
repository is public, and operating preferences belong in the private
~/.claude/rules/ copy, never in published guidance.

… 3 gate bugs (HT-100) ## Privacy The repo-mirrored rule doc opened by naming TJ's ADHD diagnosis. This repository is PUBLIC. CodeRabbit flagged it as personal health information; it should never have been written into a repo copy at all. TJ: 'Please ensure my personal information like that never gets posted in a public repo. that's not cool.' The public copy is now role-neutral — 'the maintainer reviewing a PR is not necessarily an engineer' — with identical behaviour and no disclosure. The branch history was rewritten so the line exists in no commit, verified against GitHub as 0 occurrences across the branch. It never reached main. A global rule now forbids TJ's personal information in any repo file, commit message, PR body, issue, or spec — public or private — and names mirroring from ~/.claude/ as the leak mechanism that requires sanitizing on the way in. ## Gate bugs, all three found by CodeRabbit and all real 1. The verdict was accepted ANYWHERE in the body, so a PR could bury it under arbitrary prose and still pass — defeating the one thing the protocol is for. Now the first non-empty line must be the verdict. 2. 'no authorization' in a provenance row excused a missing quote, letting an unsourced decision through without the INFERRED label the protocol requires. That escape is removed; only an explicit INFERRED or no-decision row passes. 3. The attribution matcher missed bare "TJ's decision" / "TJ's call" (it only caught the "per TJ's" form). Widened. Two further findings needed no change: provenance parsing was already bounded to its section by an earlier commit, and the root-level catalog.md/marketplace-v1.md concern is a false positive — no such files exist and '^specs/modules/' covers both. Tested before commit: buried verdict fails, verdict-first passes, 'no authorization' fails, bare "TJ's decision" fails. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ck (HT-100) The gate failed on its own PR body on its first live run: ##[error]Attributes a decision to TJ without quoting him: | Bare `TJ's decision` / `(TJ, 2026-…)` not matched | ✅ Fixed | That row NAMES the pattern as a literal example in an adjudication table. It attributes nothing. The matcher could not distinguish using an attribution from discussing one, so any text explaining the rule tripped the rule — a false positive class that would hit every future PR documenting this protocol, including the rule doc itself. Fixed by stripping backticked code spans before matching. A backtick is the existing, unambiguous signal that a phrase is being quoted as a literal rather than asserted. Bare attributions are still caught. Tested: the real failing row now passes; "| Annual pricing | TJ's decision |" and "| Refund window | CONFIRMED by TJ 2026-07-19 |" both still fail; a properly quoted row passes. Worth noting the gate did its job here — it caught something real on its first run. The finding was a defect in the gate, not in the PR, which is the correct outcome for a check whose failure mode would otherwise be silent. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

@coderabbitai review Incremental review is off, so requesting explicitly. Your six findings, adjudicated: Fixed:
Already fixed before your pass: provenance parsing is bounded to its section by awk. Not applied: root-level Also fixed, found by the gate failing on this PR's own body: the attribution matcher flagged a row that merely named a pattern as a literal example. Backticked code spans are now stripped before matching, so documentation about the rule no longer trips the rule. |

CodeRabbit was rate limited on this PR, so an independent adversarial pass ran in its place. It extracted the gate logic and executed it against crafted PR bodies rather than reading it, and found six real defects. Three were blocking. 1. TWO-DOT DIFF — the gate misfired on essentially every PR. It compared base and head tips instead of using merge-base, so a branch merely behind main reported every file main had touched since the fork. Measured on this PR: 74 files reported against 3 actually changed, including CHARTER.md, README.md, all of legal/, and specs/modules/ — none of which this PR touches. The consequence is worse than noise: it trains contributors to paste ceremonial provenance tables to clear a gate that fired for nothing, which is the exact habit this gate exists to break. Fixed with three-dot. 2. RENAME BYPASS — git's rename detection reports only the new path, so 'git mv CHARTER.md docs/old.md' silenced the gate entirely. Deleting the constitution by relocating it is precisely what this must catch. Fixed with --no-renames. 3. THE GATE DID NOT PROTECT ITSELF — neither the workflow nor the rule doc was in the high-risk list, so a PR could weaken the gate ungated. Both added. Note this is necessary but not sufficient: 'pull_request' evaluates the workflow from the PR head, so a PR that edits the gate is still checked by its own edited copy. Closing that needs CODEOWNERS plus branch protection, and the check must be marked required — neither is in this PR. 4. INVISIBLE VERDICT — '<!-- 🟢 SAFE TO MERGE -->' as the first line satisfied both the verdict and the bot-adjudication checks while rendering invisible to a human reader. The same flaw failed legitimate PRs whose template opens with a comment. 5. FENCED EXAMPLE COUNTED AS A REAL TABLE — a body quoting the protocol's own '```markdown ## Decision provenance' example satisfied the provenance requirement. Quoting the rule counted as following it, and the example is in the rule doc this PR ships. Both fixed by normalizing the body once, before any check: HTML comments and fenced blocks are stripped and every check reads the cleaned text. 6. SETEXT HEADINGS DID NOT STOP THE PROVENANCE SCAN — the awk guard covered ATX headings only, so a 'Test results' underlined heading let its table be parsed as provenance rows. Now terminates on --- and === underlines too. Also moved base.ref out of inline template interpolation into env; refs may contain $, backtick, or semicolon. Tested before commit: invisible verdict fails, leading template comment passes, fenced example fails, setext-terminated table passes. Known limits, documented rather than fixed: any stray double-quote in a row satisfies the quotation test, and 'CodeRabbit: n/a' satisfies the bot line. Both are inherent to regex checking and are backstops, not proofs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…T-100) The previous commit broke the workflow at the YAML level. Its body-normalization step embedded a python3 heredoc inside the 'run: |' block scalar; the heredoc's lines sat at column 0, which terminates the block and makes YAML read them as top-level keys: YAMLException: can not read a block mapping entry; a multiline key may not be an implicit key (101:48) Consequence: the whole workflow failed to load, so no jobs ran, the 'verdict' check disappeared from the PR entirely, and 'gh pr checks' showed nothing wrong — a silently absent gate, which is worse than a failing one. Replaced with indented shell doing the same work: perl strips HTML comments, awk drops fenced blocks. No heredoc, so nothing escapes the block scalar. The process failure worth recording: after making that edit I checked that the new string was PRESENT in the file, and reported it as done. Presence is not validity. The YAML was never parsed after the change, and the check I skipped — 'npx js-yaml' — takes one second and would have caught it immediately. Validated here before committing, and the four normalization cases re-tested against the new implementation. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

README.mdandsubstrate-v1.mdto the gated listspecs/modules/, not named filesCHARTER.md,legal/,LICENSEwere my picks, not yoursThe gate caught its own PR, correctly
An earlier version of this body had every row reading "Maintainer instruction, 2026-07-20" with no quoted words — decisions asserted as the maintainer's with nothing quotable behind them. That is precisely the failure this gate exists to detect, and it detected it. The rows above now carry the actual quotes.
What this is
Three verdicts: 🟢 SAFE TO MERGE · 🟡 NEEDS YOUR DECISION · 🔴 DO NOT MERGE. High-risk PRs add the table above — every row quoted or marked INFERRED. Ordinary PRs get one line.
Core rule: never attribute a decision to the maintainer without quoting them. Posing a question and answering it yourself without a user turn is banned — the mechanism an audit found six times across PRs #87–#100.
Independent review — 6 findings, all real
CodeRabbit was unavailable (incremental review disabled on this PR; rate limited on its sibling). Codex, the documented substitute, is also unavailable — its default model is rejected for this account. So an independent same-vendor adversarial pass ran instead, and is disclosed as exactly that. It extracted the gate logic and executed it against crafted PR bodies rather than reading it.

Replaced with indented shell; YAML validated before pushing.

The check is advisory until it is added to required status checks in branch protection. Until then a red ✗ can be merged past. That is a repo setting, not a file change.
