Source artifacts inspected

  • ant-cli/src/cli.rs — hidden flag definitions and hide = true annotations
  • ant-core/src/data/client/mod.rsClientConfig struct fields and default constants

Developer-facing change

ant-client PR #78 split the single --store-timeout-secs flag into two: --store-timeout-secs (chunk store only) and a new --chunk-get-timeout-secs (chunk retrieve). ClientConfig gained merkle_store_timeout_secs (270 s default, required to outlast the storer-side 240 s Kademlia lookup before the node accepts a Merkle proof) and chunk_get_timeout_secs (10 s default).

Files changed in this PR

  • docs/cli/command-reference.md
  • docs/rust/library-reference.md

Why prose changed

docs/cli/command-reference.md: The --store-timeout-secs row previously described the flag as controlling "chunk store and retrieve timeouts". After the split it controls only chunk store operations; a new separate --chunk-get-timeout-secs flag controls chunk retrieve. Both flags are hidden (hide = true in ant-cli/src/cli.rs). The row description is updated to reflect the narrower scope and the new flag is added.

docs/rust/library-reference.md: The ClientConfig description in the Key types table previously said "Separate quote and store timeouts". The struct now exposes four distinct timeouts: quote, chunk store, Merkle batch store (270 s default), and chunk retrieve. The description is updated to reflect the expanded surface.

Verification run

  • Re-ran python3 scripts/sweep_poll.py on the prose branch: status ok, these two pages no longer appear as drifted.
  • Confirmed no changes to skills/start/SKILL.md body (no linked release triggered).
  • Confirmed no changes to version, published_date, or CHANGELOG.md.
  • Confirmed no other files changed beyond the two prose pages.
  • Verified --chunk-get-timeout-secs exists in ant-cli/src/cli.rs at 91d5f18e with hide = true.
  • Verified merkle_store_timeout_secs default of 270 s in ant-core/src/data/client/mod.rs at 91d5f18e.
  • markdownlint: not configured — skipped.

Uncertainties

None. Both flags are hide = true in the source; flagging them in the docs is consistent with the existing policy of noting hidden flags "where they matter for troubleshooting".

ant-client PR #78 split the single --store-timeout-secs flag into two separate hidden
flags: --store-timeout-secs (chunk store only) and --chunk-get-timeout-secs (chunk
retrieve). Update command-reference to reflect the split and add the missing flag.

ClientConfig gained two new timeout fields: merkle_store_timeout_secs (270 s default,
required for storer-side Kademlia lookup before accepting Merkle proof) and
chunk_get_timeout_secs (10 s). Update library-reference Key types table to reflect
the expanded timeout surface.

PR #41 hit prose-guard because the routine bundled a useful .gitignore
addition (ignore transient sweep_report*.json files) into a prose PR.
PR #37 hit the same shape of issue with a misnamed sweep summary file.
Both cases were the routine doing legitimate infrastructure tidying
during the audit and silently bundling it into the prose envelope,
where prose-guard correctly rejects it.

Add an explicit "stay strictly within the prose envelope" bullet to
step 5.2's Prose PR section that names the categories of root-level
housekeeping the routine has slipped on (.gitignore, scripts/,
.github/, repo-registry.yml, component-registry.yml) and points to
"Suggested follow-ups" in the PR body as the place to surface
infrastructure cleanups the audit noticed. A human can then open a
separate PR for those.

No rule duplication; this just makes the existing prose-guard envelope
explicit at the moment the routine is assembling the PR.

scripts/sweep_poll.py writes sweep_report.json on every routine run
and on local validation invocations. The file is never part of the
docs assembly, and committing it would just create noise in PR diffs.

This addition was first attempted as part of prose PR #41 (commit
73114b6), which the prose-guard correctly rejected because the prose
envelope does not cover root-level housekeeping. Landing it as a
standalone change here.
