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:

- 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.

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.
Closes the last audit class, eleven `readme-structure` findings. Audit run
`2026-08-30T03:26:30Z | hub a378121`.

- The H1 is the repository name, `NxWitness`, rather than a description of what
  the repository does.
- The tagline is link-free plain text in one sentence, 72 characters. It doubles
  as the GitHub About description and, through it, the Docker Hub short
  description, neither of which renders Markdown. The original sentence survives
  as the free prose below it, where links are allowed.
- `HISTORY.md`'s title and tagline mirror the README's, which the spec requires
  and which the old pair could never satisfy at once, since the shared sentence
  carried a Markdown link. Its `networkoptix-link` definition is removed with it
  rather than left orphaned.
- `## Questions or Issues` is added, required in a public repo. It carries the
  support routing moved out of `## Troubleshooting`, which keeps its own
  subsections under a new lead so nothing is duplicated.
- `## 3rd Party Tools` is added, opening with the fleet's fixed lead line, then
  23 entries alphabetized. 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.
- `### Releases` is added under Build and Distribution, holding the base GitHub
  release and pre-release shields the base class requires plus the 40 Docker
  version shields moved up from the old `## Releases` section. The rest of that
  section became `## Installation`.
- `[license-link]` becomes `[license]`, a path inside the repo taking no `-link`
  suffix.
- The ten Docker Hub references are renamed to `<target>-docker-hub-link`, which
  is the shape that covers a repo shipping one image and one shipping ten.
- The 161 definitions are grouped under the five declared headers in spec order,
  sorted by reference name alone within each group.

Four defects surfaced while restructuring and are fixed in the same pass. 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`. And the relative link
`./LSIO/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/init-nx-relocate/run` resolved to nothing; the
real path is under `Docker/`.

Verified: 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 ten
image names match `Make/Matrix.json`, the base images match the two base
Dockerfiles, and markdownlint and cspell are clean on both files with no new
word needed.
Review findings on the README restructure, plus one correction of my own.

`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.
The file 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, and it is written down because it
is the cheap diagnostic. Filed upstream as ptr727/ProjectTemplate#1122.

The dead `LSIO/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/init-nx-relocate/run` path is fixed at its
source. The README fix alone was a symptom: `CreateMatrix/Dockerfile.cs` emits
that comment into every LSIO Dockerfile, so the next codegen run would have
reproduced it. The generator and the five generated files now name
`Docker/s6-overlay/...`, which is where the file actually is. The generated files
carry only that comment change; the upstream version bump a full regeneration
also produces belongs to the codegen bot and is left to it.

`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 in the Known Issues section is restructured
into two sentences, which the character-set rule requires and which this pass had
already applied one section earlier.

Not fixed, and reported instead: `### Release Notes` names version 2.14 while
`version.json` declares 2.15 and the newest releases are 2.15.x. Writing a 2.15
summary would mean inventing what shipped, so it needs the maintainer.

High-Level Assessment

The chosen approach is appropriate: keep the comprehensive user journey in the root README, align secondary metadata surfaces, and fix generated Dockerfile comments at their CreateMatrix source. Splitting more content into separate documents would reduce README discoverability and conflict with the fleet structure this PR is intended to satisfy.

🟢 Approval recommended

The changes are documentation-focused with one minor wording fix suggested, and the corrected repo path reference is verified to exist.

Pull request overview

Restructures the repository’s end-user documentation to match the fleet README structure requirements, while also fixing a few discovered link/path defects and aligning ancillary docs (Docker Hub README + operations guidance) with current CI behavior.

Changes:

  • Reworks README.md headings/sections (Build & Distribution, Releases, Installation, Questions, 3rd Party Tools) and cleans up/normalizes reference-style links.
  • Aligns HISTORY.md and Docker/README.md title/tagline with the repository’s current naming.
  • Fixes an incorrect s6-overlay path reference by updating both the generator (CreateMatrix/Dockerfile.cs) and the affected generated LSIO Dockerfiles.
File summaries

`Dockerfile`'s read as a possessive where a plural was meant. Both bullets now
say Dockerfiles, and drop the backticks with it, since the word is being used as
a plural noun rather than naming a specific file.

Review finding on #552.
`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 for it, so both still described 2.14
as current.

The entry says what 2.15 actually contains. Reading every merge between the 2.14
entry and now, it 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
so rather than dressing infrastructure work up as a product release.

The floor is not rolled back. Releases have been cut at 2.15, and NBGV derives
the patch from git height, so a lower floor would generate versions sorting below
what is already published.

CODESTYLE.md line 13 requires each tool's official casing in docs and prose.
Docker is the product; lowercase `docker` is the CLI command, and it stays
lowercase inside code blocks and command examples where it is the command being
typed.

Four prose occurrences: the tagline paragraph, the `Up.sh` description (now
Docker Compose, which is the product name there rather than the `docker compose`
invocation), the Nx licensing note, and the Questions or Issues line.

Raised as a suppressed finding on #552, which opens no thread, so it is answered

Answering the two suppressed findings from round 2 here, since a suppressed finding opens no thread to resolve.

CODESTYLE.md requires using each tool's official casing in docs/prose; this sentence uses "docker" lowercase. Capitalize to "Docker" for consistency (and to match the tagline above).

This issue also appears on line 626 of the same file.

Accepted, and fixed in 9c6534f. The rule is real: CODESTYLE.md:13, "Use each tool's official casing in task labels, docs, and prose".

Both flagged lines were fixed, and I swept the rest of the file rather than only the two the reviewer reached, since the same defect elsewhere would surface as a repeat finding on the next round. Four prose occurrences in total:

  • line 5, the tagline paragraph
  • line 477, the Up.sh description, which becomes Docker Compose, the product name, rather than the docker compose invocation
  • line 513, the Nx licensing note
  • line 626, the Questions or Issues line

docker stays lowercase everywhere it is the command being typed, meaning inside every fenced code block and command example. A scan of the file with code fences, inline code, reference definitions and link targets excluded now returns no lowercase docker in prose.

Not changed: HISTORY.md:18 carries the same lowercase form in the 2.11 entry. That is a shipped changelog record of a past release rather than current prose, so I left it rather than editing a historical entry for casing. Say the word if you would rather it were swept too.

@ptr727
ptr727 changed the base branch from resync/docs-split to develop August 30, 2026 21:23
Twelve conflicts, from this branch having forked off the split before that split
took its own review fixes. `-s ours` was checked and rejected again: `git
merge-base --is-ancestor 27e3084 HEAD` fails, so develop carries work this branch
lacks.

Six files take develop, after confirming what that drops. In every case the lines
only on this side are a stale copy of something develop has since corrected: the
`AGENTS.md` preamble sentence, the `CODESTYLE.md` spelling line, three
`.github/copilot-instructions.md` routing lines, `WORKFLOW.md`'s `set -euo` and
its unanchored Release Model link, and `test-pull-request.yml` before the
permissions hardening. `NxWitness.slnx` drops nothing at all, develop's root file
list being a strict superset.

Four files take this branch, develop having no unique content in them:
`README.md` and `Docker/README.md`, `HISTORY.md`, which is the superset since it
carries develop's hyphenation fix as well as the 2.15 entry, and
`CreateMatrix/Dockerfile.cs`, where this branch holds the corrected
`Docker/s6-overlay/...` path and develop still has the dead `LSIO/etc/...` one.

`cspell.json` is the union, which turned out identical at 230 words either way.

`OPERATIONS.md` is the only genuine interleave. Its first two hunks are stale
here, develop having corrected the `Make/` working directory and the codegen
invocation to `dotnet run --project`. Its third needed one paragraph from each:
develop's corrected `./Up.sh` from inside `Make/`, and this branch's corrected
test invocation with the zero-tests-exit-5 guidance.

Verified after: all 13 `run:` blocks keep `set -Eeuo pipefail`, the permissions
blocks and the 30-entry solution file survive, and this branch's tagline, 2.15
entry and generator path fix are all present. Build, markdownlint, cspell,
actionlint and editorconfig-checker clean.

Review findings on #552.

`OEM branded` is a compound modifier and takes a hyphen. Five occurrences: the
tagline in `README.md`, `HISTORY.md` and `Docker/README.md`, which must stay
identical, and the two product bullets.

`OPERATIONS.md` said the CI step "prefixes each report to" a name, which reads as
a typo. It renames.

The README described the smoke build as gated on image files changing, while
`OPERATIONS.md` gave the actual condition. It now names the gate, a change under
`Docker/` or to `Matrix.json` or `Version.json`, so a reader does not conclude a
version or matrix change goes unbuilt.

The configuration API example sent credentials with certificate verification
disabled and the password as a command-line argument. `--ask-password` prompts
instead, keeping the password out of shell history and the process list.
`--no-check-certificate` stays, because the mediaserver ships a self-signed
certificate and the example does not work without it, but it is now explained
rather than passed silently: what it turns off, that it exposes the credentials to
anyone able to intercept, to run it only on a trusted network, and to prefer
installing a trusted certificate. Pre-existing, and worth correcting in the pass
that restructures this file.

Verified: every reference label defined and used, no broken targets, markdownlint
and cspell clean.

OPERATIONS.md:52

  • Wording is ambiguous: the sentence reads as if dotnet test itself performs the rename/prefix step, but that renaming is a separate follow-up step in CI. Rephrase to explicitly attribute the rename/prefix to CI (or to the subsequent step) so local users don’t expect the command alone to produce coverage-*.cobertura.xml files.
**Tests run on the native Microsoft.Testing.Platform runner**, opted into by `global.json`. The invocation CI runs, and the one to reproduce locally, is `dotnet test --coverage --coverage-output-format cobertura --results-directory ./coverage`, which then renames each report to `coverage-<guid>.cobertura.xml` so codecov-cli's file finder matches it. Under MTP a run that discovers no tests exits 5 and reports `Zero tests ran` rather than passing silently, so read the count and not just the exit status. If `dotnet test` reports zero tests on a machine where the build succeeded, run the built test application directly, `dotnet CreateMatrixTests/bin/Debug/net10.0/CreateMatrixTests.dll`, which is the same MTP host without the `dotnet test` driver in front of it, and compare. A driver that reports the target as `net10.0` where the direct run reports `net10.0|x64` has not resolved an architecture, and its zero-test result says nothing about the tests. `--coverage-output` stays unset, because pinning one filename gives every test project in the solution the same path and the last to finish overwrites the rest. Running an MTP-based test project through the VSTest target is what fails, so the `--collect:"XPlat Code Coverage"` form is an error in this repo specifically because it opted in.

Comment thread README.md Outdated
The previous commit fixed the credential exposure but kept `--no-check-certificate`
with an explanation, on the reasoning that the mediaserver's self-signed
certificate makes the example fail without it. That reasoning was wrong, and the
reviewer supplied what it missed: `--ca-certificate` trusts one specific
certificate while leaving validation on, which is exactly the case a self-signed
endpoint calls for.

So the example now points at the server's exported certificate, verification
stays enabled, and `--no-check-certificate` is named only as the thing not to
reach for, with the reason: it sends the credentials over a connection nobody has
authenticated.

`--ask-password` is unchanged from the previous commit and still keeps the
password out of the shell history and the process list.

Answering the suppressed findings carried into the last two rounds, since a suppressed finding opens no thread.

The two docker-casing items are already fixed and are being re-reported against an earlier commit. Both were raised on c3b9958d and closed in 9c6534f, and the digest still quotes the pre-fix text. Current state:

  • README.md:5 reads "build and publish Docker images".
  • The Questions or Issues line, now at 628, reads "issues with the Docker build scripts".

A scan of the file with code fences, inline code, reference definitions and link targets excluded returns no lowercase docker in prose anywhere. docker stays lowercase inside every code block and command example, where it is the command being typed.

The OPERATIONS.md:52 item is likewise closed, in 60c045c: the sentence said the CI step "prefixes each report to" a name, which read as a typo, and it now says it renames.

Nothing outstanding on either.

ptr727 added a commit that referenced this pull request Aug 31, 2026
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.
