Probe the hook that is configured, not one this check invents

[MongLong0214]

Closes #128. Reported from a real v0.2.1 aarch64-apple-darwin install with no node on PATH.

doctor reported a working PreToolUse hook as broken on every binary-only install. It read .claude/settings.json to decide the hook was installed, then ran a command of its own construction — bash against scripts/commitlore-run.sh. A single-binary install has no scripts/, so bash exited 127 and the check blamed a hook it never ran.

• the check now parses and runs the command settings.json actually contains
• an unrecognised command is reported as not checked with the reason, rather than replaced by a reconstruction
• the suggested fix now names the executable the configured hook runs — it previously told the user to reinstall the same working hook, leaving the state unrecoverable through the documented path

A check that verifies something other than what is configured cannot be trusted even when it passes. That is the deeper fault here than the false failure.

Verified by putting the synthesized path back: 1 test fails, and passes on restoration.

1398 tests pass (1396 on dev). Both typechecks clean.

Active constraints for the paths this PR touches

Limits (27)

• r-probepath 51f6446 — the probe still only runs a command it recognises, so a hand-edited but equivalent hook reports not-checked rather than a verdict
• r-doctorprobe ed94491 — the probe runs only a command it recognises, so a user who hand-edits the hook into an equivalent but different form gets not-checked rather than a verdict
• r-f61a2c 9114cf0 — the matcher remains deterministic and lexical; no embedding or semantic service is available to distinguish paraphrases
• r-init96a 913c7e3 — doctor's own exit-code contract treats warn as non-fatal by design (SPEC §10, commitlore-setup skill) — init deliberately diverges from it for its own summary, and that divergence is the one thing most likely to look like a bug on a future read of this diff
• r-fix92dupid 7f41a6e — cross-references between two blocks declared by the same commit (a Follows:/Supersedes: naming a sibling block's id) are still reported as dangling rather than resolved against the sibling -- unchanged from before this fix, and called out in validate.ts's own comment as future work
• r-seabin39 9e9cd0e — doctor's PreToolUse hook runtime check still shells to scripts/commitlore-run.sh via bash for its own probe; a binary install with the Claude Code plugin hook already wired reports a plain ENOENT-style fail there rather than trying the binary directly -- not one of B-09 · Single static binary — remove the Node runtime dependency #39's six required commands, not fixed here
• r-parsemulti 6d39d25 — parse has no git-commit context (no sha, no notes mirror) — its identityCollision check is local to the one message being parsed and cannot detect a Record-Id that collides with something already committed elsewhere in history the way context's fold does.
• r-multirec01 92aeb24 — parseRecordBlocks only recognizes a non-final block by its declared Record-Id, so an unidentified inherited record beyond the first stays recoverable in the plan that computed it but not in a later re-parse of stored text; squash-preserve orders unidentified blocks last so the common case (at most one) is unaffected.
• r-multirec01 92aeb24 — multi-block reference checking (Follows:/Supersedes:) does not resolve one block's reference against a sibling block declared by the same commit; each block is still checked against every earlier commit in history.
• r-exit065 e545dee — any new command's exit codes must be drawn from SPEC §10, not invented locally
• r-fix70a1 d707fc7 — one encoding layer and explicit lexical forms in the four published languages; semantic paraphrases, nested encodings, and split payloads remain outside coverage
• r-shwt66 5efa206 — git rev-parse --git-path may return a repository-relative path, so resolve it against cwd
• r-merge66 40e7987 — Generated dist files were resolved only by npm run build and npm run bundle
• r-fix760 fb8ba45 — Git remains the authority on trailer recognition; diagnostics must not loosen the parser
• r-refint74 572f573 — validate cannot perform conservation checks because it has no before state
• r-warn75 24c7cc8 — exit-code semantics remain owned by guard's exit 2 means blocked; everywhere else in the same CLI exit 2 means bad usage #65
• r-shallow66 60a8659 — a depth-1 clone can only inspect its reachable commit history
• r-doctor72 996bcde — generated dist artifacts must come from npm run build and npm run bundle, not a hand merge
• r-fix067 a915af0 — PreToolUse hook failures must always exit 0 and never change stdout's hookSpecificOutput contract
• r-fix063 0b8c496 — doctor performs remote probes; an unreachable remote reports could not verify instead of ok
• r-fix053 ecc4b90 — QueryResult.notes remains repository-level availability and is independent from whether one record was mirrored
• r-fix055 43b40f8 — harvest-verify makes no model call, so semantic entailment is outside its contract
• r-fix054 664d4e2 — notes-only metadata must survive folding; a mirror is one record, not two
• r-fix056 55cb8bc — blocked output may retain only validated structural values that cannot carry prose
• r-7a3e91 cf859e4 — better-sqlite3 stays external because it is native — the bundle degrades to --no-index without it, which only works because r-6f2a08 made that load lazy first
• r-4e9c72 a7a7e26 — the index is derived, so nothing about its state can make the tool give a wrong answer -- only a slower one
• r-9a5e17 6d68703 — five workers on one repository share npm test and tsc, so file ownership alone does not prevent one worker from "fixing" another's half-written code -- verification scope had to be split too

Ruled out (71)

• r-probepath 51f6446 — prepending the build output to PATH inside the check | it would make CI green by giving the probe an executable no user has, which is the reverse of testing what is configured
• r-doctorprobe ed94491 — changing what init writes into settings.json | the installed hook was correct in every reported case; the check was reading a different world from the one it was auditing
• r-f61a2c 9114cf0 — raising the guard threshold | the frozen corpus puts every true positive in the middle band, so a higher cutoff removes signal without repairing score order
• r-f61a2c 9114cf0 — dropping keyword evidence | long proposals and diffs dilute Jaccard, while one-token alternatives such as Redis still need lexical containment
• r-init96a 913c7e3 — running doctor --fix first, hooks/index after (the old README recipe's order) | doctor's report would open with findings the next two steps are about to fix, which reads as init shipping with a problem it does not have
• r-init96a 913c7e3 — matching doctor's exit code exactly (0 unless a check is fail) | a warn init cannot resolve itself (no remote, PreToolUse hook) would then sit under a "completed cleanly" summary line — the same silent-success shape doctor's own fix breaks git fetch and git pull, then reports ok #63 and inject --hook-input is byte-identical on malformed input and on no-records: silent fail-open #67 were
• r-fix92dupid 7f41a6e — flagging every duplicate sha in a group regardless of payload, matching parse's labelRecordBlocks exactly | validate's own collision-check array pairs repositoryRecords (already carrying the message's last block once) with a per-block candidate; an unconditional duplicate-sha rule would flag the message's own single last block against its own re-derived copy, a false positive fixed instead by building ownRecords once per message rather than loosening the predicate past correctness
• r-fix92dupid 7f41a6e — reverting core/query.ts's collectRows dedup key back to sha+source+seq once findIdCollisions was fixed | that key was already wrong on its own terms (it does not match the trailers table's unique index), and leaving it in place would keep silently dropping a commit's second record block from any scoped-path context query, collision or not
• r-fix90shape 7f5766d — keeping the parent-count signal and also computing it for --message-file via .git/MERGE_HEAD | that only exists while a merge is in progress (the commit-msg hook's own scenario), not when re-validating an already-made merge commit's extracted message -- which is the issue's own reproduction and stays unreconciled under that approach
• r-seabin39 9e9cd0e — mainFormat: "module" (an ESM SEA main) | verified to fail both blob generation and runtime on this Node line, not merely documented as unsupported (see above)
• r-seabin39 9e9cd0e — pkg / nexe | third-party bundlers embedding a separate, forked Node runtime this project does not control the patch cadence of; pkg is archived upstream. Trades the Node runtime dependency this ticket removes for a different, less-maintained one
• r-seabin39 9e9cd0e — Deno compile / Bun compile | a different runtime. node:sqlite, the TypeScript, and NodeNext resolution are all Node-specific; retargeting them is a second runtime port, not a build step, and issue B-09 · Single static binary — remove the Node runtime dependency #39's own first option ("Node SEA -- no source rewrite") needs none
• r-seabin39 9e9cd0e — reimplement in Go/Rust | issue B-09 · Single static binary — remove the Node runtime dependency #39's own second option, and a real one via spec/fixtures + spec/contract-cases, but an order of magnitude more work than this ticket and not needed to solve either problem (latency, no-Node-on-PATH) this ticket opens with
• r-seabin39 9e9cd0e — committing dist/commitlore next to dist/commitlore.mjs | breaks ADR-0011's committed-dist/-matches-src/ invariant at ~115 MiB per platform/arch, and a pushed blob that size is not removable from git history again
• r-seabin39 9e9cd0e — Windows (commitlore.exe) in this PR | Node's docs describe a signtool path this repository has no CI runner to verify; shipping an unverified platform claim is what this project's numbers-or-silence discipline exists to refuse. classifyBinTarget and the resolution order are written so it is a small additive follow-up, not a redesign
• r-parsemulti 6d39d25 — expanding findIdCollisions/index-db to flag a same-message duplicate id generally | reaches into query.ts's lifecycle fold and every consumer route (context, guard, stale) for a case bug-issue-89 only asked parse to surface; the smaller, requested fix is in parse alone.
• r-multirec01 92aeb24 — minting a fresh Record-Id for an inherited record that never declared one | no other code path in this project invents identity; Record-Id is always author-declared, and doing it here would be new scope beyond what the issue asked for
• r-multirec01 92aeb24 — a CI step comparing a PR's commits against its post-merge squash commit, as the primary mechanism for finding 1 | needs a GitHub API dependency this tool takes nowhere else, and can only run after the squash is already pushed; doctor catches the same mistake locally, before push, when the source branch is still in refs/heads
• r-83d43117 8a49ddc — an install-root check for COMMITLORE_BIN | its only reason to exist is aiming the hook at a build outside the install root -- a test harness, a monorepo's local bin. Restricting its location would remove the one thing it is for; doctor's existing COMMITLORE_BIN visibility is the right amount of scrutiny for a channel that is supposed to point anywhere.
• r-83d43117 8a49ddc — resolving commitlore.bin with an external realpath/readlink -f binary | neither is guaranteed on every machine a hook runs on, the same reasoning 1fd0d53 gave for not shelling out to shasum. cd ... && pwd -P is a POSIX-specified builtin and covers the same physical-resolution need without a new dependency.
• r-exit065 e545dee — leaving guard's inversion in place and only documenting it | guard and inject are the two commands wired into hooks and CI, so a script written against guard today is already trusting the number; a documented inversion is still an inversion, and it gets load-bearing the longer it sits. The surface is one boolean per command right now — cheaper to fix once than to explain forever.
• r-fix70a1 d707fc7 — exhaustive per-language phrase enumeration | unbounded phrase lists cannot provide semantic coverage, so this fix documents a bounded lexical policy and independent corpus
• r-shwt66 5efa206 — checking --git-dir/shallow | linked worktrees keep the shallow marker in the common Git directory
• r-fix760 fb8ba45 — testing commits with more than one parent in dogfood scope | their platform-generated merge messages carry no authored decision, so requiring a record would require one nobody wrote
• r-refint74 572f573 — allowing a note to extend a commit record under the same Record-Id | notes are remote-reachable, so divergent content would inherit a human-approved identity
• r-warn75 24c7cc8 — accepting run-on or indented trailers | Git treats them as prose and accepting them would make records ambiguous
• r-doctor72 996bcde — choosing either parent doctor list | each drops a runtime check required by the other incident
• r-fix067 a915af0 — treat an outside-repository file_path as a legitimate no-record result | only an in-repository query can truthfully establish that no records apply; silence would hide a broken matcher
• r-fix063h f0bb995 — leave hook runtime as a separate contradictory check | a fix-bearing installation check must not report ok or warn when the installed hook demonstrably fails
• r-fix063 0b8c496 — add the explicit refspec only after confirming the remote ref exists | setup would depend on today’s remote state and require another doctor run after the first notes push
• r-fix053 ecc4b90 — add a public mirrored boolean | the per-record sources array already models contributing channels, so a second representation would create drift
• r-fix055 43b40f8 — infer whether a quote supports Verified | deterministic text matching can prove presence, not that a check ran
• r-fix055 43b40f8 — downgrade harvested Verified to reconstructed | it preserves a citation-bearing assertion the verifier cannot substantiate
• r-fix054 664d4e2 — write X-Inherited-From into commit messages too | transport metadata would lengthen every preserved user-facing message merely to restore symmetry
• r-fix054 664d4e2 — stop squash-preserve from writing notes | it discards the mirror instead of fixing the query seam
• r-fix056 55cb8bc — reuse the injection omission list for blocked withholding | it includes prose-bearing Evidence and Expires, so it is not a safety boundary
• r-7b26f1 ec070ec — retrying the read inside the transaction | a write lock held across a subprocess is a worse failure than the one being fixed
• r-1e58d3 1fd0d53 — removing the recorded-path branch entirely | a clone is on no PATH and in no node_modules (ADR-0011), and that branch is the only thing that finds the CLI there
• r-1e58d3 1fd0d53 — hashing the recorded binary at install time | shasum is not guaranteed on every machine a hook runs on, and a check that silently no-ops is worse than the one being replaced
• r-9c74b3 68340e4 — withholding only in --json | a shell agent reads stdout, and the text form is what it reads
• r-4b17f8 7efba5c — retrying the read inside the transaction | a transaction holding a write lock while it shells out to git is a lock held across a subprocess
• r-7a48c3 b85d847 — a CONFLICTED lifecycle state for divergent declarations | see above — it would block work on records that have a correct answer
• r-8d51a6 27f73b0 — filtering blocked matches out of the result | the caller needs to know something matched; withholding is a rendering decision, made once
• r-8d51a6 27f73b0 — reusing exit 1 for "could not check" | 1 already means a broken invocation, and a hook that cannot tell a bad flag from an unreadable repository will treat both as noise
• r-2f7d94 a7673d0 — an allow-list of free-text keys | it is the shape of the original bug, and a new key would be unguarded until someone remembered
• r-2f7d94 a7673d0 — leaving the wording generic ("a trailer") | an operator needs to know which line to edit, and the key was available two frames up
• r-4e29b7 66829bb — folding this into the existing notes field | they are independent axes and can co-occur; one enum would have to enumerate the product
• r-4e29b7 66829bb — throwing on an unreadable repository | context runs from a hook on every edit, and an exception there is a broken editor rather than a refusal
• r-1c47e9 0e9930b — dropping the check | the two installation failures it exists for are real and were both invisible to configuration reads
• r-1c47e9 0e9930b — probing whichever file is newer | "which artifact is this installation" is a fact about the layout, not about timestamps
• r-3d92a8 f85101a — keeping the searches first and fixing the shim | the shim belongs to npm, not to us, and the version-skew problem survives the fix
• r-3d92a8 f85101a — a config-only hook check | it was written, it reported ok, and the hook failed on the next commit
• r-7c05e2 218ea28 — fetching notes automatically when the ref is missing | a query is a read, and silently reaching the network on a read is a surprise that belongs to git fetch
• r-7c05e2 218ea28 — leaving it to doctor | doctor is run by a person once, and the answer that misleads is the one an agent gets on every task
• r-7c05e2 218ea28 — a diagnostic string alone | the field it qualifies is records: [], and prose is not something a consumer can branch on
• r-9b31c7 e8d45fb — keeping the placeholder until author trust was configurable | the placeholder was the permissive direction, so waiting meant shipping the hole
• r-9b31c7 e8d45fb — withholding blocked payloads from the CLI too | a person reading a terminal can disbelieve a sentence; a tool result is retrieved fact
• r-9b31c7 e8d45fb — dropping blocked records from the MCP answer entirely | an agent that silently receives less than there is cannot notice, and cannot audit
• r-6c48b2 aaadedf — matching the whole file at edit time | the file contains everything the agent did not write, and GUARD-CANNOT-BLOCK measured prose surfaces producing false alarms specifically on compliant agents
• r-6c48b2 aaadedf — blocking on a match | the score bands overlap, measured
• r-6c48b2 aaadedf — running T-705 · guard route benchmark — measure the path SPEC §5 assigned to Ruled-out #37 without this pre-check | an arm that fires zero times measures nothing, and 120 runs is an expensive way to learn that
• r-5b9e37 010782c — baking the resolved path into the hook stub | hooks status is a byte comparison against commitMsgStub(), so every hook installed from a different checkout would report outdated forever
• r-5b9e37 010782c — an npx fallback | the existing comment is right — npx --no still queries the registry when the package is absent, putting a network call on every commit and breaking offline commits
• r-2f9c40 07f47ca — wiring guard into the plugin as a blocking hook | true and false positives occupy the same score band on real agent output, so the only precision-safe threshold catches 1 of 5 and every useful threshold blocks four compliant edits in twenty-five
• r-2f9c40 07f47ca — raising RECORD_ID_WEIGHT's threshold instead of gating the signal | the false alarms scored 1.0000, so no threshold below the maximum excludes them and the maximum excludes everything
• r-2f9c40 07f47ca — semantic matching to separate the populations | ADR-0002 keeps the core LLM-free and zero-cost, and B-04 · Optional embedding-search tier #31 registers embeddings as opt-in — nothing measured here justifies moving that into the core
• r-7a3e91 cf859e4 — inlining spec/SPEC.md and the schema into the bundle | SPEC.md would need a codegen step that itself needs a drift guard, and the package-root walk removes the reason to want it
• r-7a3e91 cf859e4 — replacing the tsc output with the bundle | test/cli.test.ts, test/hooks.test.ts and test/mcp.test.ts import dist internals by path
• r-4e9c72 a7a7e26 — fail when the index is missing or stale | it would be the first thing users learn to ignore, and then a real failure is quiet too
• r-9a5e17 6d68703 — let each command edit src/cli.ts | guaranteed conflict, and the conflict surfaces only after every worker has finished
• r-9a5e17 6d68703 — npx fallback in the hook stub | a network call on every commit, and offline commits start failing

Warnings (39)

• r-f61a2c 9114cf0 (claim) — keyword-strength is IDF-weighted keyword mass multiplied by unweighted distinctive-token coverage; do not restore the old identity label
• r-fix90shape 7f5766d (claim) — a message whose first line happens to start with one of these templates on a non-merge, non-CommitLore commit would also be excused if its trailer-shaped final paragraph were entirely unknown-key -- the same shape of risk bug-issue-76's original parent-count gate carried for genuine merge commits, now traded for one that is at least computable the same way everywhere
• r-seabin39 9e9cd0e (claim) — node:sea is "Active development" per Node's own docs; its schema or CommonJS-only constraint could change between Node versions. core/paths.ts's readInstalledFile/isSea split and build-binary.mjs's asset map are the one place that assumption is absorbed, same posture as ADR-0012 already committed to for node:sqlite
• r-parsemulti 6d39d25 (claim) — context and validate still do not catch two commit-sourced blocks in the current message sharing one Record-Id unless a notes mirror also disagrees (findIdCollisions requires a notes-sourced record in the group) — parse's check is intentionally independent, not a call into that function, so fixing this in context/validate is separate work.
• r-multirec01 92aeb24 (claim) — index-db.ts SCHEMA_VERSION is now 2 for the added block column — bump it again, not the shape in place, the next time the trailers table changes.
• r-83d43117 8a49ddc (claim) — the containment check resolves the recorded path's directory physically and separately rejects a symlink at the final component, but does not protect a relative commitlore.bin with no path separator (a bare filename), which resolves against the hook's cwd and could coincide with the install root in a repository that installs commitlore against itself. That residual case sits in the same accepted-risk category as the severity note above: an attacker who can write that config key already has an equivalent, direct route.
• r-exit065 e545dee (claim) — guard's swap is a breaking change for anything scripted against the old exit 2 for "matched" — see CHANGELOG Unreleased/Breaking
• r-fix70a1 d707fc7 (claim) — add malicious and benign fixtures together when extending scanner patterns; false positives can make the defence unusable
• r-merge66 40e7987 (claim) — test/hooks.test.ts must keep both worktree git-path resolution and reference-integrity assertions
• r-fix760 fb8ba45 (claim) — unknown-only final paragraphs are treated as prose only when the source is a multi-parent commit
• r-wt77fix f77ef5d (claim) — git rev-parse --git-path may return a repository-relative path; resolve it against the test repository
• r-refint74 572f573 (claim) — exact commit and note mirrors remain one logical record; only divergent note payloads collide
• r-warn75 24c7cc8 (claim) — query several paths one at a time when rename history matters
• r-shallow66 60a8659 (claim) — shallow history remains advisory; query and guard exit-code semantics are unchanged
• r-doctor72 996bcde (claim) — keep commit-msg health bound to hook-runtime and keep inject-runtime as a separate known-good payload probe
• r-fix067 a915af0 (claim) — the accepted tool set is the union of the plugin and settings matchers; aligning those matchers remains Shallow clone: answers from 1 commit of history without saying history is truncated #66
• r-fix063 0b8c496 (claim) — the wildcard fetches every ref under refs/notes, including notes owned by other tools
• r-fix055 43b40f8 (claim) — Verified remains valid protocol vocabulary for facts recorded from actual command or test execution; only harvest refuses it
• r-7b26f1 ec070ec (claim) — the concurrency test is deterministic rather than sleep-based, so it proves the transaction boundary and not the absence of every race
• r-1e58d3 1fd0d53 (claim) — COMMITLORE_BIN still accepts any executable, deliberately — a harness must be able to aim the hook at a specific build. It is now reported rather than restricted
• r-9c74b3 68340e4 (claim) — context now prints [blocked] beside a record whose payload is gone, which is more visually alarming than the old silent leak. That is the intended direction — a withheld record should be conspicuous — but it changes what a clean repository's output looks like the first time someone commits a Warn: that trips a pattern by accident
• r-1a63f5 2bb4993 (claim) — "CI is green" was said five times today against a red CI, including in the commit that introduced the rule saying to check CI before saying it. The rule is in docs/RELEASE-GATE.md §5 and it was not followed by its own author. This commit is not claiming CI is green; that claim comes after the run reports
• r-4b17f8 7efba5c (claim) — deleteNoteRows opens its own transaction inside the new outer one. better-sqlite3 nests these as savepoints; node:sqlite has neither, so ADR-0012's migration must flatten this rather than assume it works
• r-7a48c3 b85d847 (claim) — these two changes were developed concurrently in one worktree and share a built dist/. Splitting them would leave one commit whose dist/ did not match its src/, so they land together and are described together
• r-5c92e0 73b1285 (claim) — the delegate reported "943 passed" for a suite whose baseline is 1108. It ran while another task was writing to the same worktree and collected a partial set. The real count, verified here on a quiet tree, is 1109 across 31 files — but a delegated test count is now a claim to check, not a result to accept
• r-8d51a6 27f73b0 (claim) — guard stays advisory. Nothing here makes it block, and GUARD-CANNOT-BLOCK still holds — the point is that it no longer lies about what it saw
• r-2f7d94 a7673d0 (claim) — Evidence: and Expires: are now scanned. Both usually hold paths and dates, so a false positive there withholds a legitimate record. No case is known; a legitimate record carrying a path, a URL and a date was checked and passes
• r-4e29b7 66829bb (claim) — historyAvailability spends two git invocations per query. Both are metadata reads, but this is a hot path and nothing measures it yet
• r-1c47e9 0e9930b (claim) — this is the second defect in three days from assuming the development checkout is the deployment. The first was exec node in the run script
• r-3d92a8 f85101a (claim) — hook-runtime executes the hook on every doctor run. The probe message is valid so nothing is written, but it is no longer a read-only command
• r-3d92a8 f85101a (claim) — the check pins PATH to /usr/bin:/bin, which assumes git is there. On a system where it is not, this reports a hook failure that is really a probe failure
• r-7c05e2 218ea28 (claim) — notesAvailability runs git rev-parse and up to two git config reads on every query. Config-only, no network, but it is not free on a hot path
• r-9b31c7 e8d45fb (claim) — the default is now fail-closed on every route — with no --trusted-author, every Warn: grades claim. That is SPEC §7 and it is what inject already did, but a user who saw [directive] yesterday will see [claim] today
• r-6c48b2 aaadedf (claim) — recall here is against four re-proposals. It is a go/no-go signal for whether an arm has anything to measure, not an effect size
• r-5b9e37 010782c (claim) — commitlore.bin and commitlore.node are local config, so they do not survive a fresh clone of a repository whose hook was installed elsewhere — re-run hooks install there, which is what the failure message now says
• r-2f9c40 07f47ca (claim) — --require-content changes precision, not recall; it removes a false-alarm class and catches nothing new
• r-7a3e91 cf859e4 (claim) — hardcoding ../ counts back to the package root is what broke this — new code reads assets through installedPath(), never through import.meta.url
• r-4e9c72 a7a7e26 (claim) — doctor reads the index read-only and never rebuilds it -- a diagnostic that repairs on sight hides how often the repair was needed
• r-9a5e17 6d68703 (claim) — commands are advertised in --help only once they work -- test/cli.test.ts holds the landed and unlanded lists, and moving a name between them belongs in the commit that wires it

git log --follow accepts exactly one pathspec, so renames are not followed for 6 paths; query one path at a time to follow its rename chain

withheld the content of 1 record(s) graded blocked: a Verified trailer matching an injection pattern is reported, never quoted (SPEC §7)
