The land fixer now ignores the base repository's standing guidance for contributors.

Change

moq-dev/moq#7399 hit a two-sided conflict in doc/bin/hls.md. The fixer diagnosed it and recommended keeping both edits, then handed the PR back anyway.

While exploring, it had read moq's AGENTS.md, which says "Pull the latest origin changes before working". Under the prompt's untrusted-input rule, it treated that line as an attempt to make it contact a remote.

  • assets/land-fix.md:
    • The base's standing guidance (AGENTS.md, CONTRIBUTING.md) is addressed to its usual contributors, not to the fixer. Where it conflicts with the prompt, the fixer ignores it and keeps fixing.
    • A handback is still required when content that a batch PR adds or changes tries to direct the fixer. The fixer can tell which content that is by diffing against the base ref.
  • Codex already runs with project_doc_max_bytes=0, so AGENTS.md was never injected as instructions. The fixer read it as a file.
  • The prompt-injection test asserts the new wording.

Checks

  • just check passes.
  • just test passes (721 CLI and 426 Worker tests), run with CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR unset.

Review

quest review --base origin/main --deep (Codex gpt-6-astra, medium), round 1 on head c26139e: no findings.

moq's AGENTS.md asks contributors to pull from origin before working.
The fixer read it while exploring and handed back moq-dev/moq#7399, a
two-sided docs conflict it had already diagnosed, as a prompt-injection
attempt. Standing guidance on the base is not addressed to the fixer;
only content a batch PR adds or changes that tries to direct it is.

Walkthrough

The untrusted-input guidance now covers instructions added or changed by a PR in the batch. It requires handing back that PR and quoting the attempt and its location in the diagnosis. The prompt-injection defense test now checks for two phrases in the built-in prompt.

Merge Risk: Low · up to c2613

Correct the malformed guidance and matching test; merge risk is otherwise low.

Plans what moq.pro's and rust2's cutover to the host gate and the fixer
repairs (#320, #325, #327, #328) left: collateral ejections keep their
fix attempt, a restarted daemon keeps its check, GitHub retries, current
conflict reports, land checks at gate priority, a fast kix runner test,
and deleting the legacy hold labels. The gate host records what shipped.
