Split AGENTS.md onto the fleet's router model and retire repo-config - #551
Merged
Conversation
Carry the hub's line-ending governance: `.gitattributes` becomes `* text=auto eol=lf` with the `*.bat`/`*.cmd` CRLF exception, and `.editorconfig` declares `end_of_line = lf` on `[*]` with the same single CRLF exception, replacing the per-type CRLF pins the old model needed. The repo-specific LF pins for `*.sh`, `.husky/pre-commit`, `Docker/s6-overlay/**` and the Dockerfiles are dropped because the global LF default now covers them. Renormalize the 85 tracked CRLF files to LF in the same pass. The generator has to move with the tree, or the codegen App would rewrite its own outputs back to CRLF on its next scheduled run and fight `.gitattributes` indefinitely. The four `JsonSourceGenerationOptions` newline pins become `\n`, and `AppendLineCrlf` becomes `AppendLineLf`. `ComposeFile.Create` now normalizes at the write, the way `Dockerfile.Create` already did, so the output ending no longer depends on how the C# source itself is stored. Verified: `Make/Matrix.json`, `Make/Version.json` and the three `Make/Test*.yml` compose files regenerate byte-identical to the LF-normalized tree, 21/21 tests pass, and CSharpier, `dotnet format style --verify-no-changes`, editorconfig-checker, markdownlint and cspell are all clean.
…nd modifier `ComposeFile.Create` appended a section separator after the last service, so every generated compose file ended with two blank lines and yamllint reported `too many blank lines`. It now trims to a single trailing newline, matching what `Dockerfile.Create` already did. Pre-existing, but this is the commit that rewrites that writer. `HISTORY.md` line 10 used `version-forward-release only` as a compound modifier. Both raised by CodeRabbit on #547. Verified: the three compose files regenerate with a single trailing newline, still parse as YAML, and 21/21 tests pass.
…packages xunit.v3 4.0.0 drops the VSTest bridge, so `dotnet test --collect:"XPlat Code Coverage"` fails outright on the .NET 10 SDK with "Testing with VSTest target is no longer supported by Microsoft.Testing.Platform". That is what has been blocking the nuget-deps bumps in #545 and #546, and it blocks every later bump until the runner moves. Follow WORKFLOW.md D1.6 as the hub settled it in ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1111, which chose Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.CodeCoverage over coverlet: - `global.json` opts into the `Microsoft.Testing.Platform` runner. It carries no `sdk` section, so SDK resolution and roll-forward are untouched. - `xunit.runner.visualstudio` is dropped, the VSTest adapter having no role under native MTP. - `coverlet.collector` becomes `Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.CodeCoverage` 18.9.0, whose predecessor's VSTest data collector MTP ignores without failing. The floor is load-bearing rather than cautionary: below 18.1.0 the extension is built against Microsoft.Testing.Platform 1.x and throws a `TypeLoadException` against the 2.x platform xunit.v3 4.0.0 carries, running zero tests while still writing a well-formed Cobertura file that reports full coverage. - The CI unit-test step becomes `dotnet test --coverage --coverage-output-format cobertura --results-directory ./coverage`, then prefixes each report to `coverage-<guid>.cobertura.xml`. Both halves are load-bearing and neither reds the job on its own: `--coverage-output` stays unset so a second test project could not overwrite the first, and the default `<guid>.cobertura.xml` that produces is a name codecov-cli's finder does not match, its patterns being `*coverage*.*` and an exact `cobertura.xml`. Bundle the four package bumps the runner change unblocks: AwesomeAssertions 9.5.0 -> 9.6.0, xunit.analyzers 1.27.0 -> 2.0.0, xunit.v3 3.2.2 -> 4.0.0, and `xunit.runner.visualstudio` removed rather than bumped to 4.0.0. `.gitignore` gains the hub's coverage block. The output was untracked and unignored, so a blanket `git add -A` after a local coverage run would have staged it. Verified against the real invocation, not the documented one: 21 tests ran and passed (not the zero the version-floor trap produces), the extension resolved at 18.9.0 on Microsoft.Testing.Platform 2.3.3, the run wrote `<guid>.cobertura.xml` and the prefix step renamed it as intended, both filename shapes are ignored while nothing tracked is, and the build, CSharpier, `dotnet format style --verify-no-changes`, editorconfig-checker, actionlint, markdownlint and cspell gates are all clean.
…nfig Closes the mechanical half of the ProjectTemplate resync. Audit run `2026-08-30T03:26:30Z | hub a378121`, re-measured against hub f3b4cc9. - `.github/skills/` (36 files) is a manifest-owned tree, carried with `scripts/carry.py apply`. Source and target digests match (`c5475deb46bfbf1f9253bc6128a40b7686687597ebe38a6cd1c580a39817f03e`), so it is the hub's content byte for byte rather than a hand copy. - `host-tools.json` is the repo's own tighten-only overlay on the fleet host-tool declaration. The tools list is empty because this repo needs nothing the fleet declaration does not already carry; the file is present anyway so the declaration is somewhere a reader can find rather than somewhere they have to know to look. The hub's `$schema` pointer is deliberately not carried, since it resolves to a hub-only path. - `.markdownlint-cli2.jsonc` is verbatim-fidelity, re-vendored whole. - `.editorconfig-checker.json` takes the hub's `Exclude` list. The entries are Python cache directories and inert here, carried whole per the fleet's config-carry model. - `cspell.json` becomes the union of the hub's list, this repo's own domain words and the 29 words that existed only in `NxWitness.code-workspace`, which is now the single source of truth. The workspace file's `cSpell.words` block is removed, per CODESTYLE.md "Markdown and Spelling". Verified: markdownlint clean across all 45 markdown files (up from 8), cspell clean, every touched JSON/JSONC file still parses, the workspace file still parses as JSONC with no `cSpell` key, editorconfig-checker clean, and no tracked file carries a CR.
This repo's AGENTS.md predated the AGENTS.md/GOVERNANCE.md split, so it held two different things in one file: stale copies of fleet law, and local rules written for faults the fleet has not seen elsewhere. Re-vendoring the hub canonical over it would have deleted the second kind silently, which is the incident the fleet's carried-instruction-file guard exists to prevent, so every unit was probed by distinctive phrase against the hub canonical first and given a destination rather than dropped. - `AGENTS.md` goes from 243 lines to 115, carrying only the three declared sections. All three are byte-identical to the hub, `Where the Rules Live` included: it is declared verbatim, so the two new topical docs are routed from the preamble rather than by adding table rows, which would have made the section modified fixed content with no disposition on file. - `CLAUDE.md` is new, and byte-matches the hub canonical. Claude Code reads `CLAUDE.md` and never `AGENTS.md`, so without it that provider had no rules at all. - `GOVERNANCE.md` is new, carrying 21 sections. The 18 verbatim ones byte-match the hub. `Devcontainer` and `Repository Layout` are intent-fidelity and written for this repo. `Repository Onboarding and Conformance` is hub-only and not carried, since a downstream agent never runs it. - `ARCHITECTURE.md` is new: the product and variant matrix, the codegen data flow from `Version.json` through `Matrix.json` to the generated Dockerfiles and Compose files, the base and derived image relationship, the CI pipeline with its do-not-reintroduce list, and the record of this repo's deliberate deviations from the fleet template. That record is the piece that most needed preserving: without it every one of those deviations reads as unexplained drift to the next audit. - `OPERATIONS.md` is new, carrying the six mandated headings. `Local Verification` leads because it is the only pre-merge one. It uses inline links, the exception the fleet names for agent-instruction content, so a reader jumping to one heading does not have to reach a definition block at the bottom. It also corrects a claim the old `AGENTS.md` carried, that linting is editor-only with no CI lint job, which `validate-task.yml` contradicts: it runs markdownlint, cspell, actionlint and editorconfig-checker inside the required check. - `CODESTYLE.md` gains an explicit encoding item and restores the rule that human-authored comments are left exactly as written. Both were stated in the old `AGENTS.md`, and the second is the one the carried comment rules push against, since they tell an agent to collapse a short two-line comment. `repo-config/` retires. `spec/divergences.json` marks the payloads, the script and the reference as hub-hosted, so this repo reaches them rather than carrying a copy that drifts. The deletion swept every inbound reference: six in `WORKFLOW.md`, a comment in `test-pull-request.yml`, and the `Repo Config` solution folder in `NxWitness.slnx`, which would otherwise have shown five missing files in Visual Studio while `dotnet sln list` stayed silent about it. The split moved sections other files pointed into, so those pointers move too: four anchors in `.github/copilot-instructions.md` and three in `CODESTYLE.md` now resolve to `GOVERNANCE.md`, `WORKFLOW.md`'s D3.3 aside names the section that holds the rule, and `publish-release.yml`'s comment names `ARCHITECTURE.md`. `.github/copilot-instructions.md` also gains its declared `Reviewing Carried Fleet Content` section, and its closing paragraph states the behavior rather than naming the template repo and an anchor that no longer exists. `cspell.json` gains 14 words the newly carried prose uses. Verified: a 29-phrase preservation checklist taken from the pre-split `AGENTS.md` finds a home for every unit, all three `AGENTS.md` sections and all 18 verbatim `GOVERNANCE.md` sections byte-match the hub, `CLAUDE.md` byte-matches the hub, `NxWitness.slnx` still parses and the solution still builds, every relative Markdown link in a changed file resolves, no `repo-config/` reference survives outside carried hub content that means the hub's own copy, and markdownlint (48 files), cspell, editorconfig-checker and actionlint are clean.

There are a couple of internal documentation pointers that currently contradict the repo’s new single-source-of-truth guidance (and should be corrected to avoid sending contributors to the wrong location).
Once you've addressed the issues Copilot identified, you can request another Copilot review.
Pull request overview
This PR completes the “judgment” half of the fleet resync by splitting the repository’s agent/governance documentation onto the hub’s router model and retiring the local repo-config/ tree in favor of hub-hosted repository-configuration payloads and tooling.
Changes:
- Introduce the hub-style documentation split: router
AGENTS.mdplus newGOVERNANCE.md,ARCHITECTURE.md,OPERATIONS.md, andCLAUDE.md. - Retire
repo-config/(settings, rulesets, script, docs) and update references to point at hub-hosted configuration/tooling. - Refresh cross-file pointers/anchors and related guidance (workflow comments, Copilot instructions, spelling dictionary, solution items).

Review findings on #551. `OPERATIONS.md` presented `version`, `matrix` and `make` as standalone commands. They are subcommands of the `CreateMatrix` executable, which is not packaged and not on `PATH`, so following the runbook made the first two fail as unknown commands and handed the third to the system `make`. They now run through `dotnet run --project ./CreateMatrix/CreateMatrix.csproj --`, and the paragraph says so. Verified by running the documented `make` invocation, which regenerates the Dockerfiles. The same file told a reader to debug with `Make/Up.sh` from the repository root. `Make/Up.sh` has no `cd`: it resolves `Test.yml` and `./Instructions.sh` against the caller's working directory, so it fails from the documented location. That also contradicted this file's own build section, which already said the `Make/` scripts run from inside `Make/`. `.github/copilot-instructions.md` still routed project-specific conventions and behavioral contracts into `AGENTS.md`. After the split that file is a router carrying three fixed sections, so a durable rule written there is drift. It now routes them to `ARCHITECTURE.md` or `OPERATIONS.md`, calls `AGENTS.md` the entry point rather than the canonical guide, and cites `GOVERNANCE.md` rather than `AGENTS.md` when declining a style comment. `WORKFLOW.md`'s D3.3 pointer linked the file rather than the section, so it landed a reader at the top of a 327-line document. It carries the `#release-model` anchor now. `CODESTYLE.md` sent project-specific spellings to the workspace CSpell config, which no longer holds a word list: `cspell.json` is the single source of truth since that block was removed. Verified: the documented codegen invocation runs and regenerates the expected files, markdownlint (48 files) and cspell are clean, and every relative Markdown link in a changed file resolves.
Second review round on #551, all four from the same root cause: the split moved where rules live, and four statements still described the arrangement before it. `OPERATIONS.md` fixed the wrong-directory `Make/` instruction in the debugging runbook but left the same mistake in `Local Verification`, which still named `Make/Create.sh`, `Make/Build.sh`, `Make/Test.sh` and `Make/Instructions.sh` as if they ran from the repository root. `Create.sh` resolves `../CreateMatrix` and `Version.json` against the caller, so from the root it reaches outside the repo and reads a file that is not there. The file now says the same thing in both places. The documented `make` invocation passed `--versionlabel=Beta` while `Make/Create.sh`, documented six lines later as the scripted path that writes the Dockerfiles, passes none and takes the `Latest` default. `Dockerfile.Create` selects the version carrying the requested label, so the two documented paths would generate different Dockerfiles as soon as any product carries a Beta version. Nothing does today, which is why running it verified clean. The flag is dropped so the two agree, with a sentence saying why. `AGENTS.md`'s preamble ended by saying a reviewer rule "has to live in one of those two files", whose antecedent is this file and `GOVERNANCE.md`. That contradicted the same sentence's opening clause and the routing in `.github/copilot-instructions.md`, so an agent reading it would write a durable NxWitness rule into the router. It now names `GOVERNANCE.md` for a cross-cutting rule and `ARCHITECTURE.md` or `OPERATIONS.md` for a repo-specific one, and says plainly that the router is not a home for a new rule. `.github/copilot-instructions.md` never told Copilot to load the `code-review` skill, which this stack added to the tree and which the hub's own copy of this file routes to. Copilot was reviewing without the skill the runbook below it assumes. Verified: all three `AGENTS.md` sections still byte-match the hub, markdownlint (48 files), cspell and editorconfig-checker are clean, and `.github/skills/code-review/SKILL.md` exists at the path now linked.
A real merge rather than the `-s ours` the two earlier reconciles used. Those were safe because develop reproduced an ancestor of the branch exactly; this one is not, because #550 gained work after this branch forked from it, so develop now carries content this branch lacks. Checked before choosing: `git merge-base --is-ancestor f398db9 HEAD` fails. Ten conflicts, resolved by what each side actually owns. `WORKFLOW.md` needed both sides and is the only genuine interleave. This branch repointed the retired `repo-config` references and anchored the Release Model pointer; develop tightened the shell header to `set -Eeuo pipefail` in the convention and in D9.3. Each hunk took the side that changed it, so the file now carries all four. `cspell.json` is the union. develop's 216 words turned out to be a strict subset of this branch's 230, the difference being the words the newly carried prose uses, so nothing was dropped in either direction. The four `repo-config/` files were deleted here and only line-ending-normalized on develop, so the deletion stands. That retirement is this branch's purpose. `AGENTS.md`, `CODESTYLE.md`, `.github/copilot-instructions.md` and `NxWitness.slnx` take this branch's version. Verified first that nothing develop-only is lost: the last two have no content change on develop at all, and develop's two `AGENTS.md` changes both landed in sections this split moves, whose replacements in `OPERATIONS.md` already say the same thing or better. `CODESTYLE.md` already carries develop's line-ending item verbatim. Verified after: all 13 `run:` blocks still carry `set -Eeuo pipefail`, both permissions-hardened workflows keep their blocks, the skills tree is intact, `repo-config/` is gone, the solution builds, and markdownlint, cspell, actionlint and editorconfig-checker are clean.

Review findings on #551. `NxWitness.slnx` listed ten root files under Solution Items and omitted eleven, including the four this split adds. A folder that lists some root files and not others is a trap rather than a curation: the next file added is invisible in the IDE and nobody notices. It now lists every tracked root file, derived from `git ls-files` rather than hand-picked, minus the solution and workspace files themselves, which the IDE already owns. Twenty-one entries, ASCII-sorted to match the existing convention. The aggregator's comment had grown to 169 columns with several sentences on one line, from my own earlier edit repointing the retired `repo-config` reference. Three sentences, one per line, at 99, 62 and 101 columns. It no longer names the hub either: what a reader needs is that the name is ruleset-bound and moves in lockstep with the ruleset, and where the payload is applied from is not this comment's business. Verified: the solution still parses as XML and builds, actionlint and editorconfig-checker clean.

The last audit class: eleven `readme-structure` findings. Audit run `2026-08-30T03:26:30Z | hub a378121`. Stacked on #551, so this PR is based on `resync/docs-split` and will retarget as its parents merge. ## The eleven findings | Finding | Fix | | --- | --- | | H1 is not the repo name | `# NxWitness` | | Tagline carries Markdown links | Link-free plain text, one sentence, 72 chars. The original sentence survives as the free prose below it, where links are allowed. | | No `## Questions or Issues` | Added. Carries the support routing moved out of `## Troubleshooting`, which keeps its own subsections. | | No `## 3rd Party Tools` | Added. The fleet's fixed lead line, then 23 entries alphabetized. | | No `### Releases` | Added under Build and Distribution, with the base class's GitHub release and pre-release shields plus the 40 Docker version shields moved up from the old `## Releases`. | | `[license-link]` points at a repo path | `[license]`, bare, since an in-repo path takes no suffix. | | Ten `[hub<name>-link]` references | Renamed to `<target>-docker-hub-link`, the shape that covers a repo shipping one image and one shipping ten. | | 161 definitions ungrouped | Grouped under the five declared headers in spec order, sorted by label within each. | The tagline is also mirrored into `HISTORY.md`, which the spec requires and which the old pair could never satisfy at once, since the shared sentence carried a Markdown link. Its now-orphaned `networkoptix-link` definition goes with it. For the tool list, every tool the hub catalogs uses the catalog's link and description verbatim; the rest are described as what the tool is rather than as what this repo does with it. ## Defects found while restructuring - The NxGo-LSIO install bullet linked the **Nx Witness** LSIO image. - The Products list linked **Wisenet WAVE** at `dwspectrum.com`. - A display filename read `Test.yaml` where the file is `Test.yml`. - `./LSIO/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/init-nx-relocate/run` resolved to nothing. Fixing the README alone would have been a symptom fix: `CreateMatrix/Dockerfile.cs` emits that comment into every LSIO Dockerfile, so the next codegen run reproduces it. The generator and the five generated files now name `Docker/s6-overlay/...`. Those files carry only that comment change; the upstream version bump a full regeneration also produces belongs to the codegen bot. - `Docker/README.md`, the Docker Hub overview, still opened with the retired title and tagline, so it disagreed with every other surface about the project's name. - A spaced hyphen joining two clauses, which the character-set rule bans in the same terms as an em dash. ## A correction to #549's stated verification `OPERATIONS.md` asserted that the local test command is plain `dotnet test`. That is unverified and false on at least one machine: a pristine checkout of the migration commit reports `Zero tests ran` and exit 5 there, while CI runs the same command on the same SDK (10.0.400, runtime 10.0.11) and reports 21 passed. My earlier local "21/21" came from a build tree still carrying state from the coverlet configuration it replaced. The configuration is correct, and CI is the evidence. The runbook now states the invocation CI actually runs as the one to reproduce locally, says that an MTP run discovering nothing exits 5 rather than passing silently so the count is what to read, and names the direct `dotnet CreateMatrixTests/bin/Debug/net10.0/CreateMatrixTests.dll` run as the way to separate a driver problem from a test-project problem. The `net10.0` versus `net10.0|x64` target string is the tell. Filed upstream as ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1122, since D1.6 governs this for the whole fleet and the remaining dotnet repos will hit it. ## Verification - Every label has a definition and every definition is used, 161 of 161, no duplicates. Every relative target exists, every in-page anchor resolves, the five group headers appear in spec order with labels sorted within each. - The Table of Contents matches the actual headings one for one, in order. - The ten image names match `Make/Matrix.json`; the base images match the two base Dockerfiles. - Build clean, markdownlint (48 files), cspell, editorconfig-checker and actionlint clean, no new cspell word needed. ## The 2.15 release is now documented This started as "reported, not fixed", and changed after the maintainer ruled on it. Recording the sequence, because the PR title does not suggest a release-notes change. `version.json` has declared 2.15 since 2026-06-29 and releases 2.15.43 through 2.15.59 have published since 2026-07-27, but neither `HISTORY.md` nor the README's Release Notes ever gained an entry, so both still described 2.14 as current. The bump came from #461, a large CI/CD migration that listed `version floor 2.14 -> 2.15` as one line item and added no changelog entry. The entry is derived rather than invented. Reading every merge between the 2.14 entry and now, 2.15 is the branch-scoped triggered-Docker CI/CD migration, the Codecov upload, multi-arch on `main` only, the lint-architecture standardization, and workflow hygiene. Nothing in it changes a published image, and the entry says exactly that rather than dressing infrastructure work up as a product release: ```text - Version 2.15: - Build, CI, and repository tooling changes only. No functional change to the published images. ``` **The floor is not rolled back**, per the maintainer: forward only once a release is cut. That is also the only mechanically safe answer, since NBGV derives the patch from git height, so a lower floor would generate versions sorting below what is already published. #437 could revert a bump cleanly because nothing had shipped at it; that window is closed here. The wider question, that agents have moved this repo's floor five times under a develop-leads-main cadence the fleet has since retired, is filed as ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1124 rather than addressed here. ## Reported, not fixed - The GitHub About description still carries the retired sentence. It feeds the Docker Hub short description through the docker-readme task, so that surface will disagree with the README until it is set by hand. `registry/repos.json` declares no `description` for this repo, so `configure.sh apply` cannot write it. - `HISTORY.md`'s 2.11 entry carries a lowercase `docker` in prose. It is a shipped changelog record rather than current prose, so it was left rather than edited for casing. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Documentation** * Expanded setup, installation, image variants, release channels, publishing, build workflows, troubleshooting, and support guidance. * Clarified supported NxWitness and OEM-branded VMS products. * Added testing, diagnostics, architecture checks, and coverage instructions. * Updated release history for version 2.15, corrected links, and removed an obsolete reference. * **Chores** * Updated documentation references for relocated runtime initialization paths. * Improved spell-check dictionary consistency. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->

Promotes the ProjectTemplate resync to `main`. Five pull requests, merged to `develop` in order: #547, #553, #550, #551, #552. **Replaces #555.** That one opened `develop` directly into `main` and went `DIRTY`, which is the spurious EOL-only promotion conflict the fleet's own branching guidance names: `develop` flipped the `.editorconfig` line-ending default to LF and `main` has not caught up, so every renormalized path conflicts whole-file. `develop`'s squash-only ruleset and required linear history forbid resolving on `develop` itself, so the resolution is prepared on this throwaway branch off `main`, exactly as that guidance prescribes. Five files conflicted. Each was checked with the documented test rather than resolved on the shape of the conflict. `CreateMatrix/CreateMatrix.csproj`, `Make/Matrix.json` and `Make/Version.json` are content-identical modulo EOL. `CODESTYLE.md` and `CreateMatrixTests/CreateMatrixTests.csproj` genuinely differ, so each was proved a superset instead: every line present only on `main` is a superseded version, being the `AGENTS.md` routing that `develop` repointed to `GOVERNANCE.md`, the CRLF line-endings item, two list items renumbered when the encoding rule was inserted, and the pre-MTP test packages. **The merged tree is byte-identical to `develop`**, so nothing on `main` survives that `develop` had not already replaced. ## What lands | | | | --- | --- | | **Line endings** | `.gitattributes` becomes `* text=auto eol=lf` and `.editorconfig` declares `end_of_line = lf` on `[*]`, with `*.bat`/`*.cmd` the one CRLF exception. 85 tracked files renormalized. The `CreateMatrix` generator moves with them, or the codegen App would rewrite its own outputs back to CRLF on its next scheduled run. | | **Test runner** | Native Microsoft.Testing.Platform per WORKFLOW.md D1.6, as the hub settled it in ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1111. Unblocks the Dependabot bumps that had been red since xunit.v3 4.0.0 dropped the VSTest bridge. | | **Carried content** | The hub's `.github/skills/` tree (37 files, digest-verified), `host-tools.json`, `CLAUDE.md`, `GOVERNANCE.md`, and the shared lint config. | | **Instruction set** | `AGENTS.md` split onto the router model, from 243 lines to 115, with the repo-specific half moved to new `ARCHITECTURE.md` and `OPERATIONS.md`. `repo-config/` retired. | | **README** | Restructured to the fleet shape, eleven `readme-structure` findings closed, and the 2.15 release documented. | | **Security** | `validate-task.yml` and `test-pull-request.yml` given least privilege. They ran with the repository default, which is `write` on this repo with `can_approve_pull_request_reviews` true, while only ever reading the tree. | ## Reviewing the diff `git diff --ignore-cr-at-eol origin/main origin/develop` reduces the 143-file diff to the substantive changes. Everything else is the CRLF-to-LF renormalization, which is the EOL-only promotion conflict the fleet's own branching guidance names. ## Checks before opening this `main` carries no content `develop` lacks. `git diff --ignore-cr-at-eol origin/develop origin/main` shows 980 lines present only on `main`, and every one is a superseded version of something `develop` deliberately changed: `main`'s CRLF `.editorconfig` pins, its `* -text` `.gitattributes`, its pre-split 243-line `AGENTS.md`, its `AppendLineCrlf` generator, its `set -euo` run blocks. No file has content on `main` that is not either carried forward or intentionally replaced. The three commits labelled main-only were checked individually rather than assumed, since those are the ones the develop-staleness rule exists for: the cspell CI scope from #515/#517 is byte-identical on both branches, `CODESTYLE.md`'s "Spelling CI scope" from #516 is present, and the author-identity rule from #511 is in the carried `GOVERNANCE.md`. The commit counts look alarming and are not: `develop` is 19 ahead and 99 behind, but 70 of those 99 are bot merges that dual-target both branches as separate commits, and most of the rest are `main`'s own promotion merge commits, which never flow back by construction. ## Not in this promotion - **Two `interface` audit findings stay open by decision.** `publish-release.yml` missing job `publish` and `merge-bot-pull-request.yml` missing job `merge-bot` both resolve to adopting hub-hosted task workflows this repo has not adopted, and `spec/divergences.json` states adoption "is a separate, later change per repo". Renaming jobs to satisfy the checker would report conformance without adopting anything. - **The publish chain's workflow permissions**, filed as #554. Least privilege there is not `contents: read`, a wrong scope breaks publishing rather than failing a lint, and it would surface on a weekly scheduled run. - **An inert xUnit sequential collection**, filed as #548. ## Filed upstream Four issues against `ptr727/ProjectTemplate` from work this resync exposed: promotion candidates and two misleading interface findings (#1116, including my own correction retracting six of ten), the MTP zero-tests-locally behaviour (#1122), the version-floor guardrail (#1124), and 18 findings against carried canonical content that cannot be fixed downstream (#1131). ## Owed after merge The GitHub About description still carries the retired tagline. It feeds the Docker Hub short description through the docker-readme task, so that surface disagrees with the README until it is set by hand. `registry/repos.json` declares no `description` for this repo, so the configure script cannot write it. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit - **Documentation** - Reorganized project documentation around NxWitness, including build, distribution, releases, product variants, troubleshooting, and release notes. - Added architecture, governance, operations, and comprehensive development guidance. - **Developer Experience** - Added editor tasks for building, formatting, validation, testing, and linting. - Standardized line endings and formatting across project files. - **CI and Quality** - Improved shell error reporting and workflow permission safety. - Updated coverage generation and test tooling. - Added stricter Markdown and spelling validation. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->

The judgment half of the ProjectTemplate resync: the
AGENTS.mdsplit, and therepo-config/retirement that depends on it.Stacked on #550 (which is stacked on #549 and #547), so this PR is based on
resync/hub-conformanceand will retarget as its parents merge.Why this is not a re-vendor
This repo's
AGENTS.mdpredated the hub'sAGENTS.md/GOVERNANCE.mdroutersplit, so it held two different things in one 243-line file: stale copies of fleet
law, and local rules written for faults the fleet has not seen elsewhere. Copying
the hub canonical over it would have deleted the second kind silently, with no
error and nothing in the diff that looks wrong. That is the exact incident the
fleet's
carried-instruction-file-guardexists to prevent.So every unit was probed by distinctive phrase against the hub canonical first,
and each one that turned out to be local got a destination rather than a deletion.
A 29-phrase preservation checklist taken from the pre-split file confirms every
unit has a home.
What moved where
AGENTS.mdCLAUDE.mdCLAUDE.mdand neverAGENTS.md, so without it that provider had no rules at all.GOVERNANCE.mdDevcontainerandRepository Layoutare intent-fidelity and written for this repo.ARCHITECTURE.mdOPERATIONS.mdLocal Verificationfirst.CODESTYLE.mdAGENTS.md.Where the Rules Liveis carried unedited. The first draft added two tablerows pointing at the new docs. That section is declared
verbatim, andspec/fidelity-model.mdnormalizes only line endings, action pins and jobneeds:, so those rows would have made it modified fixed content with nodisposition on file, rendering UNTRIAGED in the divergence report. The two docs
are routed from the preamble instead, which is not a declared section.
The Template Adaptations record is the piece that most needed preserving. All
ten bullets survive. Without them, every one of this repo's deliberate deviations
from the fleet template reads as unexplained drift to the next audit.
Two rules were nearly lost and are restored. "Leave human-authored comments
exactly as written" is now a
CODESTYLE.mditem, and it matters because thecarried comment rules push the other way: they tell an agent to collapse a short
two-line comment, with nothing telling it to leave a maintainer's alone. The
encoding rule survived only as
.editorconfig'scharsetand is now stated.One claim the old file carried is false and is corrected, not copied. "Linting
is editor-only (no CI lint job)" is contradicted by
validate-task.yml, which runsmarkdownlint, cspell, actionlint and editorconfig-checker inside the required
check.
OPERATIONS.mdsays what actually runs.The
repo-config/retirementspec/divergences.jsonmarks the payloads, the script and the reference ashub-hosted, so this repo reaches them rather than carrying a copy that drifts. The
deletion swept every inbound reference:
WORKFLOW.md, which now name the behavior and the hub-hostedcommand instead of a local path,
test-pull-request.yml,Repo Configsolution folder inNxWitness.slnx, which would otherwisehave shown five missing files in Visual Studio while
dotnet sln liststayedsilent about it.
Pointers that moved with the sections
Splitting a file moves the anchors other files point into, so those move too: four
anchors in
.github/copilot-instructions.mdand three inCODESTYLE.mdnowresolve to
GOVERNANCE.md,WORKFLOW.md's D3.3 aside names the section thatholds the rule, and
publish-release.yml's comment namesARCHITECTURE.md..github/copilot-instructions.mdalso gains its declaredReviewing Carried Fleet Contentsection, and its closing paragraph states the behavior rather than namingthe template repo and an anchor that no longer exists, which closes the audit's
carried:finding against that file.Verification
AGENTS.mdsections, all 18 verbatimGOVERNANCE.mdsections, andCLAUDE.mdbyte-match the hub. Only the two declared-intentsections differ.OPERATIONS.mdcarries exactly the six mandated headings in the mandated order,each with content.
NxWitness.slnxstill parses as XML and the solution still builds clean.repo-config/reference survives outside carried hub content thatlegitimately means the hub's own copy.
Known, not fixed here
README.mdhas a pre-existing broken relative link(
./LSIO/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/init-nx-relocate/run). It is untouched by thiscommit and belongs with the README-structure work, which is the last audit class
still open.
