Vouch request: three pending PRs predating the vouch policy (#2706, #2725, #2735)

[Mathews-Tom]

Context

I have three open PRs, all opened 2026-06-15/16, before the vouch-manage workflow and CONTRIBUTING.md policy landed on 2026-06-19. All three are still OPEN with a CLEAN merge state. I also have prior merged history in this repo from before the policy: #1942 ("Add /review PR URL support", closes #1743), merged 2026-06-15.

Filing one combined request rather than three separate discussions since a vouch applies to the author, not a specific PR.

#2706 — add Claude Code rules discovery

Fixes #2613. Loads Claude Code rules from ~/.claude/rules/**/*.{md,mdc} and project .claude/rules/**/*.{md,mdc} through the standard rules capability; project rules win on name collision. Always-on, no new setting, matching every other .claude/* loader (maintainer-confirmed direction).

Touches

• src/discovery/claude.ts
• src/discovery/helpers.ts
• src/capability/rule.ts
• src/internal-urls/*
• src/system-prompt.ts

Verification

• bun test packages/coding-agent/test/discovery/claude-rules.test.ts packages/coding-agent/test/discovery/claude-commands.test.ts
• bun --cwd=packages/coding-agent run check.

#2725 — add error turn notifications

Fixes #2691. Independent error.notify setting (default on) emitting a distinct notification when a turn ends with stopReason === "error", while aborted turns stay quiet and completion.notify is untouched.

Touches

• src/config/settings-schema.ts
• src/modes/controllers/event-controller.ts

Verification

• bun test packages/coding-agent/test/modes/controllers/event-controller-abort-guard.test.ts
• bun --cwd=packages/coding-agent run check.

#2735 — add friendly names to secret placeholders

Fixes #2465. Optional friendlyName metadata on SecretEntry so obfuscated placeholders carry safe semantic context (e.g.
#GITHUBTOKEN_AB12:L#), content-derived stable hash bases, and :U/:L/:C/:M case hints — direction confirmed across the issue discussion.

Touches

• src/secrets/obfuscator.ts
• src/secrets/index.ts
• docs/secrets.md

Verification

• bun test packages/coding-agent/test/secrets-obfuscator.test.ts packages/coding-agent/test/agent-session-silent-abort.test.ts
• bun --cwd=packages/coding-agent run check.

Could a maintainer vouch me so these three can proceed through review under the current policy? Happy to address feedback on any of them.

[Mathews-Tom]

Quick update: all three PRs referenced above (#2706, #2725, #2735) were just closed as part of a general "PRs open >2 weeks" cleanup sweep — the closing comment on each was explicit that this isn't a judgment on the change itself.

Since I'm not yet vouched, I'd rather not reopen them or open fresh PRs while this request is still pending, in case that reads as trying to route around the process. Once a maintainer has a chance to vouch, happy to go whichever way is preferred — reopening the existing three (keeps review history intact) or opening fresh PRs against current main (all three would need a rebase regardless, given how fast main moves). Let me know what's easier on your end.

!vouch @Mathews-Tom

Sorry for the trouble, there's just too much in the queue 😓
The ones that are still relevant, please feel free to re-open.
