One added bullet in the takeover rules of contributing.md, from what happened to pingdotgg/t3code#32245 on 2026-11-15.

The pipeline pushed its merge of main to our fork branch. GitHub never moved the PR's head to that commit. An hour later the pipeline stopped with factory:stopped-moved, as if someone else had pushed. I checked it myself: the fork branch's tip is 8464f1e54d and the PR's head is still 7c6aff6476.

The rule: before accepting a stopped-moved stop, compare the fork branch's tip with the PR's head. If they differ, bring Jackson both SHAs and a proposal, and push nothing to repair it without his say.

After merging, refresh the installed copy with npx skills update -g.

Walkthrough

The landing-pipeline guidance now covers stopped-moved stops. It instructs contributors to compare the fork branch tip with the GitHub PR head and to obtain approval before pushing a repair.

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Handle stopped-moved stops skills/t3code-giveback/contributing.md	The guidance says to report both SHAs and a proposed response if the fork branch tip differs from the PR head. It says not to push a repair without approval.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 610bc

This adds guidance for handling stopped-moved stops, and it is safe to merge. A small wording tweak would tell readers to recheck a mismatch before concluding the PR head is stale. No runtime behavior changes, and approval is still required before any repair push.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the stopped-moved stop and a stale PR head as its cause. The change adds a rule to contributing.md that tells the operator to compare the fork branch tip with the PR head before accepting a stopped-moved stop, and to escalate to Jackson without pushing a repair when the SHAs differ. The title is specific and matches the main change. It names the stopped-moved stop case, which the diff documents. The title does not mention the escalation rule, but it does not need to cover every detail.

- Line 111: Update the stopped-moved guidance to recheck both the fork branch
tip and PR head after an initial mismatch, so values from different moments are
not treated as a stale head. Describe a mismatch that persists on recheck as
evidence of a possible stale head, not proof of its cause, and preserve the
instruction not to push a repair without Jackson’s approval.

Do not treat one mismatch as proof of a stale PR head.

If another actor pushes between the two commands, ls-remote can return A and gh can return the current head B. The instructions would report a stale PR head even though GitHub is current.

Recheck both values after a mismatch. Describe a persistent mismatch as evidence of a possible stale head, not proof of its cause.
