Closes #1060

What was wrong

tests/test_doctor_gitlink_repairs.py::test_a_hand_committed_gitlink_names_both_bump_leg_commands
failed in any shell that exports LANES_LANE, at the assert repairs == [...] (line 218).

The row runs the doctor through pins_row(), whose environment comes from tests/conftest.py::run_script, and that blanks LANES_LANE for every tool under test ("THE LANE IS NOT INHERITED"). But the row builds its expectation IN PROCESS, with module.bump_leg_command(...), which reads the test process's own LANES_LANE and appends --trailer 'Lane: <lane>'. Expected and actual differed by that trailer alone.

Probe, loading shape-doctor.py in process and calling bump_leg_command(Path('/s'), Path('/r'), 'spec', 'abc123'):

LANES_LANE=openRepoShape-9:  python3 /s/scripts/bump-leg.py --root /r --leg spec --to abc123 --trailer 'Lane: openRepoShape-9'
LANES_LANE unset:            python3 /s/scripts/bump-leg.py --root /r --leg spec --to abc123

The change (tests only: 7 insertions, 1 deletion)

monkeypatch.setenv("LANES_LANE", "") in that row, before the in-process module.bump_leg_command calls, with a comment saying why. The blank is the very value run_script gives the doctor the row runs, so both sides read the same value by construction.

Option A (per row) over an autouse fixture in tests/conftest.py: the sweep below found this row to be the only one with the gap, and the suite already pins the lane per row where it needs one (test_shape_doctor.py, test_update_shape_next_quoting.py, test_git_bash_dialect.py and the same file's test_the_bump_line_is_spelled_for_each_shell), so a blanket fixture would be a second rule for one row and would sit over every test that sets LANES_LANE itself.

Evidence

Before, one row, LANES_LANE=openRepoShape-9 exported:

FAILED tests/test_doctor_gitlink_repairs.py::test_a_hand_committed_gitlink_names_both_bump_leg_commands
tests/test_doctor_gitlink_repairs.py:218: AssertionError
1 failed in 9.75s

Before, one row, LANES_LANE unset: 1 passed in 7.10s.

After, tests/test_doctor_gitlink_repairs.py, tests/test_git_bash_dialect.py and tests/test_commit_trailers.py:

LANES_LANE=openRepoShape-9 exported:  274 passed in 64.46s
LANES_LANE unset:                     274 passed in 64.63s

Sweep

The only code that reads LANES_LANE is scripts/shape_materialize.py (lane_trailer, lane_trailer_argument), reached in process through shape-doctor.py (lane_trailer_command, bump_leg_command, check_pins, check_shape_currency, with_gitlink_repairs) and update-shape.py (apply_command, cmd_check). No template, shell script or other module reads it.

The test files that load the doctor or update-shape.py in process, that name those entry points, or that mention LANES_LANE: 59 files, run as an explicit list in 5 shards (never the full suite) with LANES_LANE=openRepoShape-9 exported, before the change:

shard 0: 566 passed, 3 skipped
shard 1: 1002 passed, 9 skipped
shard 2: 936 passed
shard 3: 1 failed, 812 passed, 1 skipped   (the row above, and only it)
shard 4: 1372 passed, 1 skipped

So this row is the only one with the gap. The 59 files were not run a second time after the change; the three files above were, in both modes (274 passed each), and the change touches one row.

Summary by Sourcery

Make the gitlink repair expectation independent of an inherited lane environment.

Bug Fixes:

  • Prevent the gitlink-repair test from producing mismatched expectations when the shell exports LANES_LANE.

Tests:

  • Align the test's in-process lane environment with the blank lane environment used when running the doctor.

…ands pins `LANES_LANE` blank in its own process, as `run_script` does for the doctor it runs, so a shell that exports a lane no longer puts a `--trailer` on the expectation alone (#1060)

The row ran the doctor through `pins_row()`, whose environment
`conftest.run_script` blanks of `LANES_LANE`, and built its expectation in
this process with `module.bump_leg_command(...)`, which reads this
process's `LANES_LANE`. In a shell that exports a lane the two lines
differed by ` --trailer 'Lane: <lane>'` alone, at the `assert repairs ==`.
`monkeypatch.setenv("LANES_LANE", "")` before the in-process call makes
both read the same blank.

Reviewer's Guide

Fixes an environment-dependent test failure by clearing LANES_LANE in the test process before building expected commands, matching the blank lane supplied to the doctor subprocess by run_script.

File-Level Changes

Change Details Files
Align the in-process expected bump commands with the lane environment used by the doctor subprocess.
  • Add the pytest monkeypatch fixture to the affected test.
  • Clear LANES_LANE before constructing expectations so generated commands do not gain an environment-dependent --trailer.
  • Document why the test must mirror run_script's blank lane value.

(lane openRepoShape-4, 2026-10-20T22:58:57Z) RV1081 review of #1081 at 7d4f2d8:

READY - no MUST and no SHOULD; two optional NITs below.

Reviewed by lane 4's independent reviewer, who did not write it.

What I checked, with evidence

1. The fix. One file, +7/-1 (git diff --stat origin/main...7d4f2d82: tests/test_doctor_gitlink_repairs.py | 8 +++++++-). It adds the monkeypatch fixture and monkeypatch.setenv("LANES_LANE", "") before doctor_module(standard) and the two in-process module.bump_leg_command(...) calls.

  • Right: bump_leg_command ends in lane_trailer_command(platform), which reads os.environ at call time through shape_materialize.lane_trailer, and that reads an empty LANES_LANE as "no lane". A probe on the head, loading shape-doctor.py in process: LANES_LANE=openRepoShape-9 gives ... --to abc123 --trailer 'Lane: openRepoShape-9'; blank and unset both give ... --to abc123. The blank is exactly what conftest.run_script gives the doctor the row runs (tests/conftest.py 760-768), so both sides read one value by construction.
  • Minimal and in the suite's style: the suite pins the lane per row with setenv("LANES_LANE", "") already (test_adopt_ignored_shape_files.py 621 and 796, test_adopt_root_symlinks.py 2092, test_shape_doctor.py 9501, test_update_shape_next_quoting.py 246); the same file's test_the_bump_line_is_spelled_for_each_shell uses delenv, which means the same thing. The lane-trailer case keeps its own row (test_the_repairs_carry_the_lane_trailer_inside_a_lane), untouched.
  • The row still holds what it held. I mutated a throwaway copy of the head (my own worktree, not this branch) so the doctor prints keep_gitlink with one trailing space, which pasted() hides from the two argv asserts. With LANES_LANE=openRepoShape-9 exported the row FAILED at the assert repairs == [...] (line 224 on the head): the byte-for-byte compare is intact.
  • gate_row and pins_row run before the setenv. That is fine: only shape-doctor.py, update-shape.py and scripts/shape_materialize.py mention LANES_LANE or lane_trailer (grep of every non-test, non-doc file), and validate-pins.py reads no lane. Rows at 432, 486, 630 and 716 compare against gate_row and pass with a lane exported.

2. The row, both ways, four runs (one test id each, stub gh first on PATH, GH_TOKEN=bogus, empty GH_CONFIG_DIR, EMAIL set, LANES_REPO, LANES_DIR, LANES_FILE, LANES_SESSION unset):

  • main 5e539a878, LANES_LANE=openRepoShape-9: 1 failed, tests/test_doctor_gitlink_repairs.py:218, assert repairs == [...].
  • main 5e539a878, lane unset: 1 passed.
  • head 7d4f2d82, LANES_LANE=openRepoShape-9: 1 passed.
  • head 7d4f2d82, lane unset: 1 passed.

3. The sweep after the fix. The writer's 59 files, as the same explicit list in the same five shards, on the head with LANES_LANE=openRepoShape-9 exported, each shard with its own basetemp:

  • shard 0: 566 passed, 3 skipped. Shard 1: 1002 passed, 9 skipped. Shard 2: 936 passed. Shard 3: 813 passed, 1 skipped (was 812 passed + 1 failed before the fix). Shard 4: 1372 passed, 1 skipped.
  • Total 4689 passed, 14 skipped, 0 failed: the writer's before-fix tally with the one failure now a pass.
  • The PR body says the 59 were not re-run after the change; that is now done.
  • Beyond the brief, I ran the 26 files outside that list that name shape-doctor.py, update-shape.py, doctor_module or DOCTOR on two or more non-comment lines, same head, same lane, 3 shards: 2585 passed, 2 skipped, 0 failed. A static grep of tests/ for in-process calls of bump_leg_command, lane_trailer*, apply_command, check_pins, check_shape_currency and with_gitlink_repairs finds no caller outside the files these two sweeps ran. I did not run the other ~216 test files; the static grep finds no in-process caller of the lane readers in them, and no code outside the three files above reads the lane.

4. Merges and checks.

Items

MUST: none.

SHOULD: none.

NIT 1 (metadata, at landing): the PR body ends with the Sourcery summary and no Lane: line, where #1063 and #1065 end theirs with one; the head commit carries no Lane: trailer either. Put Lane: openreposhape-4 (openRepoShape-4) in the explicit squash message. The body's last Sweep paragraph ("not run a second time") is now stale; an edit is optional.

NIT 2 (optional): the setenv sits mid-row, after pins_row and gate_row. At the top of the row it would cover every call in it at once, with no need to reason about which of them read the lane. Nothing fails today either way; I would not hold the PR for it.

Lane: openreposhape-4 (openRepoShape-4)

… fetch that carry it run in bootstrap.py's `untraced()` environment, so `make siblings` and `family.py siblings` write the token to no trace the caller asks git for (#1055) (#1075)

`make siblings` and `family.py siblings` now write the token in `SHAPE_LEGS_TOKEN` or `SHAPE_LEGS_APP_TOKEN` to no trace the caller asked git for. #996 (#1045) did the same for `make bootstrap`.

Lane 5 found this in its independent review of #1045 (rv996, #1045 issuecomment-6288783192) and measured it in #1055.

`templates/family-root/scripts/siblings.py` gives the credential's `-c url.https://x-access-token:<token>@github.com/.insteadOf=...` rewrite, in argv, to two gits:
- the clone in `place`, for a member with no clone beside the holder;
- the fetch in `place`, for a member whose clone is there.

Both ran in the caller's own environment. So every trace2 target the caller named wrote the token in the `start` event of each, one line per member. `scrub` kept it out of the output, and only that part held.

Now:
- **`rewrite_environment(token)`**, a new function in `siblings.py`:
  - with a token in use, it returns `untraced()` from the `bootstrap.py` beside it. That is every `GIT_TRACE*` variable taken out, and `GIT_TRACE2`, `GIT_TRACE2_EVENT` and `GIT_TRACE2_PERF` set to `0`, which also turns off a target the global or the system config names;
  - with no token, it returns None, so the two gits keep the caller's environment and stay traced where the caller asked, as before.
- **The clone and the fetch** each run with `env=rewrite_environment(token)`. Nothing else in the file changes environment.
- **The member's own `scripts/bootstrap.py`**, which `place` runs after a clone, is given no token in its argv, and no `env`, so it keeps the caller's environment and its traces. That environment holds `SHAPE_LEGS_TOKEN` and `SHAPE_LEGS_APP_TOKEN` as before; the shipped member bootstrap (`templates/assembly-root/scripts/bootstrap.py`) reads neither. A test row holds this, and so does `tests/test_validator_child_encoding.py`, which reads that call as handing no `env`.
- **#1023's jobserver handling is untouched**: `dispatch` still runs each member's make with `member_make_environment(make)`, and no `MAKEFLAGS` reading changed.
- **The docstrings** now say the promise in full: `git_prefix` says the token is "never written into `.git/config`, never persisted, never printed, and never traced". `place`'s ABSENT paragraph in the module docstring says the same, and `rewrite_environment` says what was measured.

**One thing the issue did not ask for.** `GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE` writes a git's whole command line, `-c` included, on git 2.43.0 and 2.47.1 alike. So at main it held the token too, two lines per run, and the rows below set it. `untraced()` already takes it out: every `GIT_TRACE*` variable goes.

This follows #1045's `untraced()` (#996): the clone and the fetch run in the very environment `make bootstrap` gives every git it hands the token.

`siblings.py` imports `untraced` from the `bootstrap.py` beside it, next to `REWRITE_TARGETS`, `credential`, `member_make_environment`, `member_path` and `members_of`.

The issue left this to the writer, because a holder may keep a `bootstrap.py` older than its `siblings.py` (`update-shape.py apply --accept-local`), and an import of a name that copy lacks would stop `make siblings`, `park` and `resume` with an `ImportError`. The issue's text was written against main `1a47ed07`, where `siblings.py` still kept its own copy of the `MAKEFLAGS` readings. Since then #1023 (`9e154d87`, lane 4's) has decided the question for this pair of files:
- it replaced that copy with an import of `member_make_environment`, because a copy in each script failed SonarCloud's duplication gate;
- it named the price, in the import's comment and its commit: a holder that keeps its own `bootstrap.py` while `apply` writes `siblings.py` is refused, `update-accept-local-missing-name` (#536, #604), before a byte is written, and merges `bootstrap.py` by hand first.

`untraced` takes the same road for the same reasons:
- **One rule.** Which traces a command carrying the token is kept out of has one answer, for `make bootstrap` and `make siblings` alike. A copy here could drift from `bootstrap.py`'s, and the drift would be a token in a file.
- **A kept old `bootstrap.py` is refused in the one-step case, and not in a two-step one.** The guard reads names. `untraced` is new with #996 (#1045), so a kept `bootstrap.py` from before it is refused by that name, where `--accept-local` names it in the same `apply`. Measured with `update-shape.py`'s own readers, in process:
  - `siblings.py` at this head takes `REWRITE_TARGETS`, `credential`, `member_make_environment`, `member_path`, `members_of` and `untraced` from `bootstrap`;
  - the holder's `bootstrap.py` at main `00f6d7f7` lacks none of them;
  - the holder's `bootstrap.py` at `6476c170` (main just before #1045) lacks `untraced` alone, which is the line the refusal names.
- **The one-step case, measured end to end (rv1075).** A holder cut at `6476c170`, and `apply --at c3cf515 --accept-local scripts/bootstrap.py`: exit 2, `scripts/bootstrap.py (kept) lacks untraced, which scripts/siblings.py imports from it`, and the holder's files, HEAD and status unchanged.
- **Two applies in a row are not refused (rv1075's SHOULD 1, filed as #1082).** A holder whose earlier apply kept a `bootstrap.py` without `untraced` (rv1075 applied `--at 00f6d7f --accept-local scripts/bootstrap.py`: that target's `siblings.py` imports no `untraced`, so there was nothing to refuse), and then an apply at this head without `--accept-local`, gets `siblings.py` copied. `scripts/siblings.py` then fails with `ImportError: cannot import name 'untraced' from 'bootstrap'`, and so do `make siblings`, `park` and `resume`. The cause is the guard in `update-shape.py` (`:4288-4289`): it checks only the files `--accept-local` names in the same run. That is the gap of #536's guard, and it is on main already for #1023's `member_make_environment`; this change puts `untraced` into it and does not widen it. The text above this paragraph said no `ImportError` could reach a holder, which was too strong; #1082 is the follow-up, and it is not done here.
- **No copy, so no test to hold two copies to one answer.** `tests/test_update_shape_kept_helper.py`'s `test_what_siblings_takes_from_the_holders_bootstrap_is_found_defined` already holds that every name `siblings.py` takes is defined in the holder's `bootstrap.py`. Its docstring now says six names, not five.

**Setup:**
- git 2.43.0 (`/usr/bin/git`) and git 2.47.1, Python 3.12.3;
- the family of `tests/test_family.py` (two members, local bare remotes, the file transport allowed through `GIT_CONFIG_COUNT`), laid out as `<tmp>/InkRouter/InkRouter`;
- offline: a stub `gh` first on PATH, a bogus `GH_TOKEN`, an empty `GH_CONFIG_DIR`, `GIT_SSH_COMMAND=false`;
- the holder's own `scripts/siblings.py` was main's (sha256 `86bf57e0...`) or this change's;
- the fake token `w1055-a-token-no-forge-takes`.

**Each case was run three ways:**
- `make siblings`, which clones both members;
- `make siblings` again, which fetches both;
- `family.py siblings --family-root <holder>` in a fresh layout, which clones both.

**Traces were asked for in one of three ways:**
- the seven variables `GIT_TRACE`, `GIT_TRACE2`, `GIT_TRACE2_EVENT`, `GIT_TRACE2_PERF`, `GIT_TRACE_PACKET`, `GIT_TRACE_CURL` and `GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE`, each set to a file under the run's TMPDIR;
- `trace2.eventTarget`, `normalTarget` and `perfTarget` in a scratch `GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL`;
- the same three in a scratch `GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM`.

Each way was run with `SHAPE_LEGS_TOKEN`, with `SHAPE_LEGS_APP_TOKEN`, and with no token.

That is 108 runs at main and at the change, 54 for each git. Each run's TMPDIR and the whole family folder (the clones' `.git/config` included) were searched for the token.

| traces asked by | main, a token set (both variables, both gits) | this change, a token set | no token, either |
|---|---|---|---|
| the seven variables | `trace2-event.json`, `trace2-normal.txt`, `trace2-perf.txt`, `trace-performance.txt`: 2 lines each, in the clone, the fetch and `family.py` alike | none | no token anywhere; the same files written |
| the global config | `cfg-event.json`, `cfg-normal.txt`, `cfg-perf.txt`: 2 lines each | none | the same |
| the system config | `sys-event.json`, `sys-normal.txt`, `sys-perf.txt`: 2 lines each | none | the same |

**What the table rests on:**
- Every one of the 108 runs (and the 54 runs again on this head's final bytes, sha256 `b1e7bb21...`) exited 0 and ended `siblings ok: 2 member(s) beside the holder in ...`, with the token in neither stdout nor stderr.
- The 2 lines in each file are the `start` (or `performance:`) line of the git given the `-c`, one for each member. Each carries the token twice, once for each spelling the rewrite covers.
- With every member a local path, `GIT_TRACE`'s file was written and held no token, and `GIT_TRACE_CURL` wrote nothing, with no http remote. An https member is a different case, measured below.
- With the change and a token set:
  - every trace file but `GIT_TRACE_PACKET`'s was still written, by the run's other gits and the member's own bootstrap;
  - the packet trace was not written, since only the clone and the fetch write one here.

**An https remote, measured offline (rv1075, then the row of Round 2).** The rewrite reaches only `github.com`, and the probes above are offline, with local paths. A member whose `.gitmodules` url is `https://github.com/<org>/<repo>.git` is reached by it, and can be tried offline behind a dead proxy, `http.proxy=http://127.0.0.1:9`, so that nothing leaves the host:
- rv1075 set one member's url so, with `make siblings`, a fake `SHAPE_LEGS_TOKEN`, and the seven variables set to files, on git 2.43.0 and 2.47.1. Main's `siblings.py` (`86bf57e0`) held the token in `trace.txt`, `trace2-event.json`, `trace2-normal.txt`, `trace2-perf.txt` and `trace-performance.txt`; this head held it in no file and no output. The clone failed cleanly, `git clone exited 128`, and `make siblings` exited 2.
- `GIT_TRACE`'s file holds it too, in the `run_command: git remote-https origin https://x-access-token:<token>@github.com/...` lines: 3 lines on git 2.43.0, 4 on 2.47.1 (rv1075).
- Round 2 below holds this in a test row.

**Still not measured:** a github.com clone or fetch that succeeds, since no run here reaches the network.

`tests/test_family_siblings_untraced.py` is new. It uses `tests/test_family.py`'s `family` and `estate`, `offline` from `tests/test_family_add_refusals.py`, `files_holding` and `CREDENTIALS` from `tests/test_family_bootstrap_stops_named.py`, and `NO_CREDENTIAL` and `needs_make` from `tests/test_siblings_family_name.py`. No assert joins conditions with `and`. The token is the fake `w1055-a-token-no-forge-takes`.

**The rows.** Each entry point is crossed with each way traces are asked for:
- entry points: `make siblings` cloning, `make siblings` again fetching (after a first run with no token and no trace), and `family.py siblings` cloning;
- ways: the seven variables, the three targets in a scratch global config (a copy of the session's, which keeps git's automatic maintenance off), and the three targets in a scratch system config.

**Three tests** (the third is round 2's):
- **`test_with_a_token_in_use_the_token_is_in_no_trace`**: 18 rows (3 entries x 3 ways x 2 variables). Each asserts:
  - exit 0 and `siblings ok: 2 member(s) ...`;
  - the token in neither stdout nor stderr;
  - the token in no file under the test's directory: TMPDIR, every trace and config file, and the clones and their `.git/config`;
  - every trace file the way asks for written: 5 for the variables, 3 for each config;
  - the member's own bootstrap traced where a member was cloned: a git traced in a leg of each clone, which only that bootstrap runs. Where nothing was cloned, nothing ran there.
- **`test_with_no_token_the_clone_and_the_fetch_are_traced_as_asked`**: 9 controls (3 entries x 3 ways). Each asserts exit 0, `siblings ok` and the same trace files written. It also asserts the trace2 event file holds `siblings.py`'s own git at each member, read from the events: `git clone -q --no-local ...` to each member's slot, or `git fetch --quiet origin` in each member's clone.

**Fails on main.** The file was run against main's `siblings.py` (sha256 `86bf57e0...`, put in place and then restored, sha256 checked):
- **18 failed, 9 passed**: every row with a token failed, and the 9 controls passed;
- the variables rows found the token in `trace-performance.txt`, `trace2-event.json`, `trace2-normal.txt` and `trace2-perf.txt`;
- the global-config rows found it in `cfg-event.json`, `cfg-normal.txt` and `cfg-perf.txt`;
- the system-config rows found it in `sys-event.json`, `sys-normal.txt` and `sys-perf.txt`.

- **`test_an_https_member_with_a_token_in_use_is_in_no_trace`**: 3 rows, one for each of `CALLERS_CONFIG` (round 2 and round 3, below).

Each mutant was applied alone to the worktree's file and the new test file run (git 2.43.0). The bytes were restored and checked by sha256 after each:
- `siblings.py` sha256 `b776c69b...`: this head's code; it differs from the head only in two docstring lines;
- `bootstrap.py` sha256 `50a16751...`, main's, unchanged here.

All are **killed**.

| mutant | result |
|---|---|
| M1 the token condition dropped: `untraced()`'s environment always | killed, 9 failed (every control) |
| M1b the condition inverted | killed, 27 failed |
| M1c the clone untraced always, the fetch as it is | killed, 6 failed (the clone controls) |
| M2 the clone left in the caller's environment | killed, 12 failed (every clone row with a token) |
| M3 the fetch left in the caller's environment | killed, 6 failed (every fetch row with a token) |
| M4a `GIT_TRACE2_EVENT` not set to `0` (`TRACE2_OFF`) | killed, 12 failed (the global- and system-config rows) |
| M4b `GIT_TRACE2` not set to `0` | killed, 12 failed (the same) |
| M4c `GIT_TRACE2_PERF` not set to `0` | killed, 12 failed (the same) |
| M5 the `GIT_TRACE*` removal dropped (`env = dict(os.environ)`) | killed, 6 failed (the variables rows, by `GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE`) |
| M6 the prefix narrowed to `GIT_TRACE2` | killed, 6 failed (the same) |
| M7 the member's own bootstrap run untraced too | killed, 12 failed (the clone rows' bootstrap check) |

M5 and M6 are killed only because the variables rows set `GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE`. With a local-path remote, of the issue's six variables none but trace2's writes the `-c`, and trace2's three are set to `0` whatever the prefix does. With an https remote `GIT_TRACE` writes it too, in the `run_command: git remote-https` lines; that is what the row of Round 2 holds, and the mutant R4 below, which keeps the caller's `GIT_TRACE`, passed all 27 earlier rows.

**How every run was made:**
- through lane 5's runner: `/usr/bin/python3 -m pytest -q -rs -p no:cacheprovider -o tmp_path_retention_policy=failed`, one basetemp per run;
- `LANES_*` cleared, a stub `gh` first on PATH, `GH_TOKEN=bogus`, an empty `GH_CONFIG_DIR`;
- `EMAIL=service@opensoft.dev`, `GIT_SSH_COMMAND=false`, `GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL=/dev/null` at the start of the session.

| git | files | result |
|---|---|---|
| 2.43.0 | `test_family_siblings_untraced.py`, on this change before the docstring fix | 27 passed |
| 2.43.0 | the same file against main's `siblings.py` | 18 failed, 9 passed |
| 2.43.0 | gate shard A: 19 of the 41 files below | 1623 passed, 4 skipped, in 19:51 |
| 2.43.0 | gate shard B: the other 22 of the 41 files | 2415 passed, 8 skipped, in 15:03 |
| 2.47.1 | `test_family_siblings_untraced.py` | 27 passed, in 1:14 |

**What the 41 gate files are:**
- the new file;
- `test_family_member_make_jobserver.py`;
- every file `grep -l siblings tests/` names;
- the pinned-copy and upgrade-row files: `test_pinned_copy_text.py`, `test_update_shape.py`, `test_update_shape_add.py`, `test_update_shape_kept_helper.py`, `test_no_auto_maintenance.py`, `test_template_text_placeholders.py`, `test_bootstrap_spelling.py`;
- the trio: `test_repo_hygiene.py`, `test_agents_md_codes.py` and `test_cli_reference.py`.

**The gate runs** (both shards at once, then the 2.47.1 run) were made on this change as it is committed: `siblings.py` sha256 `b1e7bb21...` and the new test file sha256 `7ba7a416...`, at main `00f6d7f7` (this branch's base; no rebase was needed, see Merges). The runner's `START` line read `dirty=2`, the two tracked files this commit changes, and a sha256 check after the runs found `siblings.py` unchanged (neither it nor the test files were modified after the runs started). The first pair of shards was stopped part way and re-run whole; only the re-runs count here.

**The 41 files, by shard:**
- shard A (19): `test_shape_doctor.py`, `test_validator_child_encoding.py`, `test_family_py_unreadable.py`, `test_pinned_copy_text.py`, `test_siblings_inputs.py`, `test_siblings_family_name.py`, `test_family_member_make_jobserver.py`, `test_update_shape_add.py`, `test_adopt_printed_sentences.py`, `test_family_printed_quoting.py`, `test_family_makefile_siblings.py`, `test_template_text_placeholders.py`, `test_park_resume_targets.py`, `test_windows_paths.py`, `test_doctor_gitmodules_not_utf8.py`, `test_local_remote_dir_urls.py`, `test_family_siblings_untraced.py`, `test_setup_family_folder.py`, `test_bootstrap_refusal_exit.py`;
- shard B (22): `test_repo_hygiene.py`, `test_doctor_legs_members_next.py`, `test_update_shape.py`, `test_family.py`, `test_update_shape_kept_helper.py`, `test_yaml_reader_spaces.py`, `test_bootstrap_spelling.py`, `test_agents_md_codes.py`, `test_family_siblings_placement.py`, `test_no_auto_maintenance.py`, `test_cli_reference.py`, `test_family_siblings_bootstrap_unreadable.py`, `test_bootstrap_branch_bytes.py`, `test_family_init_asks_every_value.py`, `test_validate_workflow_gitmodules_urls.py`, `test_adopt_contracts_dir.py`, `test_doctor_unfinished_merge.py`, `test_family_members_not_a_list.py`, `test_family_init_landing.py`, `test_family_docs_one_spelling.py`, `test_doctor_members_spelled.py`, `test_pins_child_kind_and_siblings_root_spelling.py`.

**The skips are the environment's, each named by its reason:**
- shard A: 3 in `test_shape_doctor.py` (the PowerShell line is printed, and `powershell.exe` exists, only on a Windows host) and 1 in `test_family_member_make_jobserver.py` (`make -j2` here writes `--jobserver-auth=3,4`, not GNU make 4.4's named pipe);
- shard B: 2 in `test_doctor_legs_members_next.py` (this git crashes on `submodule init`, exit 139, as git 2.43 does on a bare `branch`), 4 in the same file (this git dies on a `shallow` of -2**31, as git 2.43 does), and 2 in `test_no_auto_maintenance.py` (the session began with `GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL` set, and its file includes that one);
- the 2.47.1 run of the new file skipped none.

The full suite was not run.

**Static checks:**
- flake8 finds in `siblings.py` only the three lines it finds at main (two E501, one E127, each moved down by the added lines);
- in the new test file it finds only the F811s every fixture-importing file has;
- both files are ASCII, apart from the dashes and the CJK example already in `siblings.py`.

Fetched with `-c gc.auto=0 -c maintenance.auto=false`, on 2026-10-20 at about 21:03Z. Round 1, `git merge-tree --write-tree` of the first head `c3cf5154` against (round 2's are in its own section):
- **origin/main `6c861635`**: clean, exit 0, tree `225b2a99`.
  - Main has moved two commits past this branch's base `00f6d7f7`: `9cbba9d5` (#1063: `scripts/family.py`, `scripts/shape_materialize.py`, `docs/cli.md` and two tests) and `6c861635` (#1065: `adopt-project.py` and three tests).
  - Neither touches `siblings.py`, `bootstrap.py`, `tests/test_update_shape_kept_helper.py` or the new test file, so there was no rebase and the gate runs above stand.
- **#1062** (`fix/1040-windows-start-errors`, head `957ba038`), the one open PR that touches a family-root script this change reads (`templates/family-root/scripts/bootstrap.py`, with the assembly root's and `validate-family.py`, `validate-pins.py` and three tests): clean, exit 0, tree `84d4b54a`.
  - Its diff does not touch `untraced()`.
  - In the merged tree `bootstrap.py` still defines `untraced` (and the five other names `siblings.py` takes from it), and `siblings.py` is byte-identical to this head's (sha256 `b1e7bb21...`).
- **The other 9 open PRs** (#1073, #1072, #1071, #1070, #1069, #1068, #1067, #1064, #1031): none touches `siblings.py`, `tests/test_update_shape_kept_helper.py`, or a file the new test imports from (`conftest.py`, `test_family.py`, `test_family_add_refusals.py`, `test_family_bootstrap_stops_named.py`, `test_siblings_family_name.py`), read from `gh pr list --state open --json number,headRefName,headRefOid,files`.

`templates/family-root/scripts/siblings.py` is in `FAMILY_COPIED_VERBATIM`, so each holder gets one `upstream-changed` row for it, as #1045 gave one for `bootstrap.py`:
- a holder that takes it with `bootstrap.py` from #1045 or later needs nothing more;
- a holder that keeps an older `bootstrap.py` with `--accept-local` in the same apply is refused, `update-accept-local-missing-name`, naming `untraced`, before anything is written;
- a holder whose earlier apply kept a `bootstrap.py` without `untraced`, and that then applies this change without `--accept-local`, is not refused: `siblings.py` is copied, and `make siblings`, `park` and `resume` meet an `ImportError`. That is the gap of #536's guard, which `member_make_environment` has on main already, and it is #1082's.

No Windows or macOS run was made, since CI is Linux only (#597).

rv1075, lane 5's independent reviewer, found `c3cf5154` READY (#1075 issuecomment-6302090874): no MUST, two SHOULDs and a NIT. One commit on top of it, `041f7831`, with no rebase: main has touched none of this PR's files.

**The three findings:**
- **SHOULD 1** (the body said no `ImportError` reaches a holder, and two applies in a row make one): answered in the body above, in "Where the helper comes from" and "The pinned copy". The gap is #536's guard's, it is on main for `member_make_environment` already, and it is #1082's; this PR does not change `update-shape.py`.
- **SHOULD 2** (every row used a local file remote, so a leak through `GIT_TRACE` on an https member had no test, and rv1075's mutant R4 passed all 27 rows): answered by the new row below.
- **NIT** (three places said the member's own bootstrap "is given no token"): `siblings.py`'s module docstring, `rewrite_environment`'s docstring and the test file's docstring now say it is given no token in its argv. It inherits `SHAPE_LEGS_TOKEN` and `SHAPE_LEGS_APP_TOKEN` in its environment, because `run_member_bootstrap` passes no `env`, and the shipped one reads neither. `rewrite_environment`'s docstring also names the https measurement.

**The code of `siblings.py` is unchanged.** Its syntax tree with the docstrings taken out is the same at `c3cf5154` and at `041f7831` (compared with `ast`); the file's sha256 moved from `b1e7bb21...` to `19107ad4...` over comments and docstrings only. So round 1's two gate shards (1623 passed, 4 skipped; 2415 passed, 8 skipped) were not re-run; the targeted runs below are.

**The new row,** `test_an_https_member_with_a_token_in_use_is_in_no_trace` (the file has 28 rows now). Its setup:
- the estate of `tests/test_family.py`, with `IRRS`'s url in the holder's `.gitmodules` given as `https://github.com/InkRouter/IRRS.git`, and `IRSS` still a local path;
- `http.proxy=http://127.0.0.1:9`, a dead proxy, in git's command scope after the entries the session holds, and `NO_PROXY` and `no_proxy` empty, so nothing leaves the host;
- a fake `SHAPE_LEGS_TOKEN` and the seven trace variables set to files;
- `make siblings`, cloning.

It asserts:
- the proxy is set where the row sets it: `http.proxy=http://127.0.0.1:9` is in the command scope the run's git reads (`command_scope_at`, which runs `git config --show-origin --list` and writes nothing);
- exit 2 and `IRRS: git clone exited 128:` on stderr, which is how the head fails (rv1075 measured the same);
- `IRSS` was cloned and `IRRS` was not;
- the token is in neither stdout nor stderr, and in no file under the test's directory;
- the five trace files the variables ask for are written, by the run's other gits.

No assert names the proxy in git's message. The git 2.47.1 this lane builds has no `git-remote-https` (`git: 'remote-https' is not a git command`, `fatal: remote helper 'https' aborted session`), so there the clone fails at once without reaching the proxy, still with 128. `GIT_TRACE` has written the `run_command: git remote-https origin https://x-access-token:<token>@github.com/...` line before that, so the row finds the leak on both gits. A first local version asserted the proxy's message and failed on 2.47.1 for that reason; the assert was dropped, and the commit amended, before anything was pushed.

**It fails on main.** The file was run against main's `siblings.py` (sha256 `86bf57e0...`, put in place and then restored, sha256 checked each time):
- git 2.43.0, the whole file: **19 failed, 9 passed**, the 18 rows of round 1 and the new row. The new row fails at `assert files_holding(tmp_path, TOKEN) == []`, with 5 files holding the token: `temp/trace-performance.txt`, `temp/trace.txt`, `temp/trace2-event.json`, `temp/trace2-normal.txt` and `temp/trace2-perf.txt`. The round 1 rows find 4 of those, since a local path leaves `temp/trace.txt` clean;
- git 2.47.1, the row alone: **1 failed**, the same 5 files.

**It kills R4.** R4 is rv1075's mutant, in `rewrite_environment`: `return {**untraced(), **{k: v for k, v in os.environ.items() if k == "GIT_TRACE"}} if token else None`, which keeps the caller's `GIT_TRACE` for the clone and the fetch. Applied alone, then restored and sha256-checked:
- git 2.43.0, the whole file: **1 failed, 27 passed**: the new row alone, with `temp/trace.txt` the one file holding the token;
- git 2.47.1, the row alone: **1 failed**, the same one file.

**The runs on the pushed head `041f7831`** (the runner's `START` line read `dirty=0`), through the same runner as round 1:

| git | files | result |
|---|---|---|
| 2.43.0 | the new file, `test_update_shape_kept_helper.py`, `test_family_makefile_siblings.py`, `test_family_member_make_jobserver.py`, `test_pinned_copy_text.py`, and the trio (`test_repo_hygiene.py`, `test_agents_md_codes.py`, `test_cli_reference.py`) | 589 passed, 1 skipped (the jobserver file's named-pipe row, as in round 1), in 5:09 |
| 2.47.1 (`git version 2.47.1`, printed from the exact path first on PATH) | the new file | 28 passed, in 2:13 |
| 2.43.0 | the new file against main's `siblings.py` | 19 failed, 9 passed |
| 2.47.1 | the new row against main's `siblings.py` | 1 failed |
| 2.43.0 | the new file with R4 | 1 failed, 27 passed |
| 2.47.1 | the new row with R4 | 1 failed |
| 2.43.0 | on a predicted merge with main (below): the new file, `test_update_shape_kept_helper.py`, `test_pinned_copy_text.py`, `test_family_makefile_siblings.py` | 305 passed, in 2:50 |

The full suite was not run. flake8 finds in `siblings.py` the same three lines as at round 1, and in the test file only F811s, from the fixtures it imports. Both files are ASCII, apart from the dashes and the CJK example already in `siblings.py`.

**The merges of round 2.** Fetched with `-c gc.auto=0 -c maintenance.auto=false` at about 23:00Z; `git merge-tree --write-tree` of `041f7831` against:
- **origin/main `c13c3985`** (#1076's squash, which touches `templates/family-root/scripts/bootstrap.py` and `tests/test_family_bootstrap_stops_named.py`, among others): clean, exit 0, tree `8ae10d0c`. None of the three files this PR changes is among the files main changed since the base `00f6d7f7`, so there is no rebase. In that tree `siblings.py` is byte-identical to this head's, `untraced()` has the same syntax tree as at the base, and `CREDENTIALS` and `files_holding`, which the new file imports from `test_family_bootstrap_stops_named.py`, are still defined. The 305-passed run above is on that tree;
- **#1062** (`fix/1040-windows-start-errors`, head `957ba038`): clean, exit 0, tree `e6ed1ba2`. Its `untraced()` has the same syntax tree as main's;
- **the other open PRs** (#1031, #1069, #1070, #1072, #1073, #1081, #1084): none touches `siblings.py`, `tests/test_update_shape_kept_helper.py`, `bootstrap.py`, or a file the new test imports from, read from `gh pr list --state open --json number,headRefName,headRefOid,files` at about 23:00Z. #1076 (`fix/1056-signal-anywhere`, head `73906948`) was open when the runs were made, and merged clean with this head then (tree `6ae3e65f`); it has landed since as `c13c3985`, above.

**The failure.** Lane 5's landing gate (log `c1075.log`, #1075 issuecomment-6304830183) failed the https row of round 2 at `041f7831`: 1 failed, 356 passed. The change in `siblings.py` was not at fault; the row depended on the caller's git config.
- The gate ran with neither `GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL=/dev/null` nor `GIT_SSH_COMMAND=false`, which the writers' runs and round 2's runs had.
- `conftest.py`'s session global file includes the caller's global config (or `~/.gitconfig`, where `GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL` is unset). The operator's `~/.gitconfig` has `url.git@github.com:.insteadOf=https://github.com/`.
- Git keeps the first of two `insteadOf` prefixes of the same length, and the config files are read before the command line, so that rewrite beat the token's `-c` rewrite of the same prefix. Measured with scratch files and a stand-in token, on git 2.43.0: under a global file with that rewrite, `git -c url.https://x-access-token:T@github.com/.insteadOf=https://github.com/ ls-remote --get-url https://github.com/InkRouter/IRRS.git` printed `git@github.com:InkRouter/IRRS.git`.
- So the row's `https://github.com/InkRouter/IRRS.git` went over ssh to `InkRouter/IRRS`, a real private repository. The dead proxy never applied, the clone succeeded, `make siblings` exited 0 and the placed members were both there, and the row failed `assert result.returncode == 2`.

**The fix** is in `tests/test_family_siblings_untraced.py` only. No other file changed in this round, and `siblings.py` is byte-identical to `041f7831`'s (sha256 `19107ad4...`).
- **`hermetic_config`** gives the https row's git a global file of its own, `session_global_config("")` (`conftest.py`'s own function: automatic maintenance off, and no include of the caller's file), `GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM=1` and `GIT_SSH_COMMAND=false`.
  - It is the least invasive way: only the one row with an https url sets it, `conftest.py` and every other row stay as they were, and the other rows' remotes are local paths, which no rewrite of GitHub's url reaches.
  - `GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL` set takes git's two user-level files out of the reading, and `GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM` the system file whatever `GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM` says (checked on git 2.43.0 and 2.47.1 with scratch files).
  - `GIT_SSH_COMMAND=false` is a second wall: a url somehow sent over ssh runs `false`. No mutant can show it needed, since the runner exports it too.
- **`url_after_config`** is a new assert before the clone: `git ls-remote --get-url <url>` (it applies the config's `insteadOf` and asks nothing of the network) must give the url unrewritten under the row's environment. A config that reaches the row now fails by name, before any clone.
- **The row is parametrized by `CALLERS_CONFIG`**: `none` (round 2's row), and `global` and `system`, each a stand-in for a caller's config that would send the url somewhere reachable. `as_the_callers_config` writes a scratch file of the test's own, `url.<file URI of the family's own IRRS remote>.insteadOf=https://github.com/InkRouter/IRRS.git`, into this process's `GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL` (the session file includes it) or `GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM`. It is built from tmp files only: no network, and never the real `~/.gitconfig`. The file now has 30 rows.
- With the fix, in each of the three, the clone fails at the proxy with git's 128, `make siblings` exits 2, `IRSS` is placed and `IRRS` is not, and the token is in no output and in no file under tmp_path.

**The variants fail without the fix.** Each was applied alone to the worktree's test file (or `siblings.py`) and run through the runner, with the file's sha256 checked after it was restored:
- **`041f7831`'s file as pushed, under a caller's global config.** Lane 5's runner now honours `L5_GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL=<scratch file>` as the caller's global config, with ssh impossible. The scratch file rewrote `https://github.com/InkRouter/IRRS.git` to the run's own IRRS remote (a `file://` url under the run's basetemp). The whole file, git 2.43.0: **1 failed, 27 passed**, the https row at `assert 0 == 2`, the gate's failure reproduced with no network.
- **T2, `041f7831`'s row plus the variants:** the new file with `hermetic_config` and the `url_after_config` assert taken out. The https rows, git 2.43.0: **2 failed, 1 passed**, `[global]` and `[system]` at `assert 0 == 2` (the clone went to the local remote and exited 0), and `[none]` passes. On git 2.47.1 the same.
- **T1,** the row's global file dropped and the assert kept: `[global]` fails at the assert, which sees `file:///...IRRS.git` for the url; the other two pass.
- **T3,** `GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM` dropped and the assert kept: `[system]` fails at the assert; the other two pass.

**R4 stays killed.** rv1075's R4 (`rewrite_environment` keeps the caller's `GIT_TRACE`), git 2.43.0, the whole file: **3 failed, 27 passed**, the three https rows.

**The runs on the pushed head `962ae43c`** (`START` read `dirty=0`), through the same runner as before:

| git | files | result |
|---|---|---|
| 2.43.0 | the new file, `test_update_shape_kept_helper.py`, and the trio (`test_repo_hygiene.py`, `test_agents_md_codes.py`, `test_cli_reference.py`) | 359 passed, in 3:05 |
| 2.47.1 (`git version 2.47.1`, printed from the exact path first on PATH) | the new file | 30 passed, in 1:51 |
| 2.43.0 | the new file, with `L5_GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL` naming that scratch file | 30 passed, in 2:21 |
| 2.43.0 | `041f7831`'s file, with the same | 1 failed, 27 passed |
| 2.43.0 / 2.47.1 | T2, the https rows | 2 failed, 1 passed / 2 failed, 1 passed |
| 2.43.0 | T1, T3, the https rows | 1 failed, 2 passed each |
| 2.43.0 | R4, the whole file | 3 failed, 27 passed |

The full suite was not run. flake8 finds in the test file only F811s from the fixtures it imports, and nothing over 79 columns; the file is ASCII.

**The merge-tree of round 3.** Fetched with `-c gc.auto=0 -c maintenance.auto=false` at about 10:53Z; `git merge-tree --write-tree` of `962ae43c` against:
- **origin/main `2a119f28`** (#1092): clean, exit 0, tree `b5ea0114`. Main has landed #1076 (`c13c3985`) and #1062 (`ff0c72eb`) since the last round, and has changed `templates/family-root/scripts/bootstrap.py` and `tests/test_family_bootstrap_stops_named.py` among others, but none of this PR's three files. In that tree `siblings.py` is byte-identical to this head's, `untraced()` has the same syntax tree as at the base `00f6d7f7`, and `CREDENTIALS` and `files_holding` are still defined where the new file imports them from.
- **#1088** (`fix/1085-nit-texts`, head `88af1b7b`), which touches the same two files of main's: clean, exit 0, tree `365df092`, with the same findings.
- **The other open PRs** (#1087, #1090, #1091, #1097): none touches `siblings.py`, `bootstrap.py`, `tests/test_update_shape_kept_helper.py` or a file the new test imports from, read from `gh pr list --state open --json number,headRefName,headRefOid,files` at about 10:53Z.

CI (Brett Heap's ruling 27): H0 is the head 962ae43 itself, which passed tests, tests-git-bash and SonarCloud; main has touched none of its files since its base 00f6d7f; and the local gate passed on its predicted squash tree fc2afb3 over main 16f9a0e: the family_siblings_untraced, update_shape_kept_helper, repo_hygiene, agents_md_codes, cli_reference sets, 359 passed. Landed on Brett Heap's word of 2026-10-18T14:45:28Z, relayed to every lane by lane 3 (#473 issuecomment-6251255596): "merge v1.2.0 PRs once reviewed and green".

… holds without its commit is one it cannot answer for, `check` says a commit it cannot ask was not asked, and a pinned product YAML 1.1 or 1.2 reads as no text is quoted (#912) (#1090)

Each pin question is answered from the commit actually pinned, with words that say why, and a pinned product is written so that any YAML reader reads it back as text. This is #912, which groups three lines of #457's release-commit triage: L1-81, L1-82's second case, and L2-14.

One commit, on main `5e539a87`. It changes `scripts/shape_materialize.py`, `adopt-project.py` and `scripts/bump-leg.py`, and six test files.

The issue's line numbers are at `5017830`. Each claim was measured again by name, on main `6c861635` first and again on `5e539a87`:

- **L1-81 held.** `commit_in_clone` (`scripts/shape_materialize.py:3650` at `6c861635`, `:3809` at `5e539a87`) asks `rev-parse -q --verify <id>^{}` of an annotated tag. In a clone that holds the tag but not its commit, git answers `error: missing object referenced by '<tag>'` (git 2.43 and 2.47.1), and the id was refused as `is an annotated tag that names no commit`. `bump-leg.py`'s `peeled_target` (`:972`, now `:977`) did the same.
- **L1-82's second case held.** `_recomputed_pin_finding` (`adopt-project.py:872`, now `:871`) asks a recorded `commit:` what it names only of a recorded clone that is still at its path and is no partial clone. Where the clone is gone or partial, or `gh api` read the digest, `check` exits 0 on a tag's id with a NOTE that names only the digest.
- **L2-14 held, in a new place.** `_neutral_pin_entry` is no longer `adopt-project.py`'s own. Since #924 both tools call `shape_materialize.neutral_pin_entry` (`:524`), and it still asked only the project's reader. Its docstring even said that a bare `yes`, `on`, `.5` or `.inf` stays bare, naming this issue.
- **Main moved under the change** while it was being tested. The commit was rebased from `6c861635` onto `5e539a87` with no conflict, and its patch is the same (`git patch-id --stable` `427e9e35fd2464cb` both times):
  - #1068 (`6797ca70`) changes `bump-leg.py`'s `_leg_fetch_refspecs` and `fetch_leg`'s docstring, and moves a refspec helper into `shape_materialize.py`. It does not touch `peeled_target`, and tag following under `refs/tags/`, which the new bump row relies on, is unchanged.
  - #1064 (`5e539a87`) changes `shape_materialize.py`'s manifest readers and `adopt-project.py`'s `_manifest_findings` and one import. It does not touch `commit_in_clone`, `neutral_pin_entry` or `_pin_digest_findings`.
  - Every row and every mutant below was run again on the rebased head, and the new rows were run again on `5e539a87`'s code.

### L1-81: a tag whose commit the clone lacks is a clone that cannot answer

- `commit_in_clone` returns `(oid, "")` where a tag's peel cannot be read (`names is None`), as it already does for an id the clone does not hold. `plan` and the scaffold then read the digest there. `git ls-tree` finds no tree at the id, so they refuse it `pin-source-unreadable`, whose remediation says to point `--pin-source` at a clone that HAS the pinned commit, "`git fetch --all` first". That is what main said before #651. `check` says `plan-pin-source-unreadable`.
- `peeled_target` returns the id as typed there. The reachability verdict answers it, as it answers an id the leg does not hold: `bump-leg-commit-not-on-remote`, "<repository> has no branch containing <id>", from both runs.
- A tag of a tree or a blob, which the clone can peel, is still `pin-not-a-commit` or `bump-leg-target-not-a-commit` by name.

### L1-82: `check` says it did not ask a recorded commit it could not ask

- The forge is not asked. `check` and `execute` read no network for a pin (#273's review S3, #449), `execute --local-remote-dir` needs no `gh`, and the rows that hold that (`gh` never run) stay. In a partial clone, git would fetch an id it lacks from the promisor remote.
- So the NOTE says it, in the words the issue's second option asks for. It was:
  `NOTE <entry>: digest NOT rechecked here: <why>. The root's own `validate-pins.py` recomputes it wherever it can read the product.`
  It is now:
  `NOTE <entry>: digest NOT rechecked here, nor its `commit:` asked whether it names a commit: <why>. The root's own `validate-pins.py` recomputes the digest wherever it can read the product; `plan` asks what the commit names where it reads the digest.`
- `<why>` is unchanged for each of the four cases: gone, partial, `gh api`, and a `digest_source:` that names no clone. No refusal code changes, so `AGENTS.md`'s table is unchanged. README, `docs/` and the handbook quote neither sentence.

### L2-14: a product YAML 1.1 or 1.2 reads as no text is double-quoted

- New `shape_materialize.YAML_NOT_TEXT_RE`. Of the plain scalars `PLAIN_SCALAR_RE` takes, which begin with a letter, `_` or `.`, it matches the ones YAML 1.1 or YAML 1.2's core schema resolves to a bool, a null or a float:
  - YAML 1.1's bools `y`, `n`, `yes`, `no`, `on` and `off`, and both versions' `true` and `false`, in their three cases;
  - `null` in its three cases;
  - `.inf` and `.nan` in their three cases;
  - a point before digits, as YAML 1.1's pattern is written (`\.[0-9.]*` with a signed exponent, so `.`, `..` and `.5.5` too);
  - and as its own example `685.230_15e+03` and its readers read it, with `_` among the digits (PyYAML takes `.5_` for 0.5, ruamel.yaml takes `._` for a float), with YAML 1.2's unsigned exponent `.5e3`.
- Nothing else either version resolves to no text is a plain scalar `PLAIN_SCALAR_RE` takes: `~`, the empty null, `<<`, `=`, and ints, timestamps and floats that begin with a digit or a sign.
- `neutral_pin_entry` writes a name bare only where it is a plain scalar, the new rule does not match it, and the project's reader reads it back. So both tools double-quote these names. Every other name is the line it was, `openGlass` byte for byte.
- The plan's `product:`, which `y` writes and only this tool reads, is unchanged. The pin file's `product:` was always double-quoted.

The probe is `probe912.py` (not committed). It runs with a stub `gh` that exits 97 first on PATH, a bogus token, an empty `GH_CONFIG_DIR`, `GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL=/dev/null` and `GIT_SSH_COMMAND=false`. The `lacking` clone holds the tags `v1` and `v1-again` but not their commit.

| Case | main `6c861635` and `5e539a87` | This head |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `commit_in_clone(lacking, <tag>)` | `(<tag>, 'is an annotated tag that names no commit')` | `(<tag>, '')` |
| `peeled_target(lacking, <tag>)` | `REFUSED bump-leg-target-not-a-commit: --to <tag> is an annotated tag that names no commit in the leg` | returns `<tag>` |
| scaffold `--dry-run` and `plan`, `--pin openGlass@<tag> --pin-source lacking` | exit 2 `REFUSED pin-not-a-commit: ... is an annotated tag that names no commit in the clone at <lacking>, not a commit` | exit 2 `REFUSED pin-source-unreadable: <lacking> could not answer for opensoft/openGlass @ <tag>: ... exited 128: fatal: not a tree object`, remediation "`git fetch --all` first" |
| `check`, recorded clone `lacking` | exit 1 `FINDING plan-pin-not-a-commit: ... which is an annotated tag that names no commit` | exit 1 `FINDING plan-pin-source-unreadable: ... cannot answer for it` |
| `check`, a tag's id, clone whole (control) | exit 1 `plan-pin-not-a-commit`, "an annotated tag of commit <c>" | the same |
| `check`, a tag's id, clone partial / gone / `gh api` / none named | exit 0, NOTE names only the digest | exit 0, the NOTE above; `gh` never ran |
| names `--pin` admits of up to three characters (278915) | 231714 written bare; PyYAML misreads 132 of them, ruamel.yaml 0.19 (YAML 1.2) 132 | 231543 bare; 0 misread by either |

#457 counted 138 at `3dd806f`. On `6c861635`, PyYAML misread `yes`, `no`, `on` and `off` in three cases each, `.0` to `.99`, and `.0_` to `.9_`. ruamel.yaml misread the dot forms, `._`, `._0` to `._9` and `.__`, and its YAML 1.1 mode also reads `y` and `n` as bools.

**Found while testing.** git 2.43's `fetch` follows a remote tag whose object is already in the store, and brings the tag's commit with it. Its tag-following check counts the tag object itself, not only the commit. So in `bump-leg.py` a tag that the leg holds without its commit is a tag the leg's remote does not advertise, or one met after a fetch that failed. The bump row uses a tag that was never pushed.

New rows, in each file's style and with its helpers:

- `tests/test_pin_annotated_tag.py`:
  - a `lacking` fixture (`git hash-object -t tag -w` of the tags' bytes);
  - `commit_in_clone` answers `(id, "")` (2 rows);
  - `plan` and the scaffold's `--dry-run` refuse `pin-source-unreadable` with no "annotated tag" in the output (4);
  - `check` finds `plan-pin-source-unreadable` and `execute` refuses before any leg (1);
  - the NOTE for a tag's id, clone gone, partial or `gh api`, with `gh` never run (3).
- `tests/test_bump_leg_dry_run_truth.py`: a tag the leg holds without its commit is `bump-leg-commit-not-on-remote` in both runs, with nothing written, through `--local-remote-dir` and `origin` (2).
- `tests/test_neutral_pin_entry_one_spelling.py`:
  - each of 25 YAML 1.1 and 1.2 words and 20 dot floats is double-quoted and reads back (45);
  - the same 45, with the project's reader stubbed to read everything back, are double-quoted by the rule alone (45);
  - 20 look-alikes (`openGlass`, `openYes`, `yEs`, `.e5`, `._.` ...) stay bare (20);
  - the whole enumeration, read by PyYAML, ruamel.yaml 1.2 and ruamel.yaml 1.1 where they are installed (1; skipped without either reader, so CI holds the rule by the rows above).
- Changed rows, whose old expectation was the bug:
  - `SPELLED["yes"]`, and the entry-equals-adopt's-old-spelling row, which now expects exactly `.`, `..`, `.0`, `.9`, `._` and `yes` to differ;
  - `.5`, `.inf`, `yes` and `off` move out of the bare groups in `test_scaffold_pin_and_reuse.py` and `test_adopt_pins.py` into `STOCK_MISREAD`;
  - the NOT-rechecked constants in `test_adopt_pins.py`, and one line in `test_pin_source_top_level.py`.

No assert joins conditions with `and` or `or`.

**The rows fail on main.** The six test files were run on main's code, the scripts as on main with the new tests beside them:

- on `6c861635`: 96 failed, 98 passed, and 16 failed, 232 passed;
- on `5e539a87`: 112 failed, 330 passed.

Every failure is a new or changed row:

- spelling 85;
- tag file 10;
- top-level partial-clone NOTE 1;
- `test_adopt_pins.py` 10;
- bump 2;
- scaffold entry 4.

Each mutant was applied alone to a scratch clone of the head and its rows were run. The results were the same on `6c861635` and on the rebased head.

| Mutant | Result |
| --- | --- |
| M1 `commit_in_clone` without the `names is None` return | killed, 3 failed |
| M2 `peeled_target` without it | killed, 2 failed |
| M3 `if not peeled` in place of `if names is None` | survives: equivalent. The two differ only where `rev-parse <id>^{}` prints an id and `cat-file -t` of that id fails, and rev-parse parsed that object to print it. |
| M4 the NOTE's old words | killed, 3 failed |
| M5 `neutral_pin_entry` without the rule | killed, 85 failed |
| M6 rule without `y`/`n` | killed, 9 |
| M7 without `yes`/`no`/`on`/`off` | killed, 28 |
| M8 without `true`/`false`/`null` | killed, 9 (the reader-stubbed rows) |
| M9 without `.inf`/`.nan` | killed, 12 |
| M10 without YAML 1.1's pattern as written | killed, 9 |
| M11 without the `_`-digits pattern | killed, 14 |
| M12 that pattern's exponent signed only | killed, 4 |
| M13 no end anchor | killed, 15 |

All runs go through lane 5's `run9.sh`: a stub `gh` first on PATH, a bogus token, every `LANES_*` variable cleared, `EMAIL=service@opensoft.dev`, `GIT_SSH_COMMAND=false`, `GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL=/dev/null`, and one basetemp per run.

- **The six test files on the head `d5389eb6a71e`:**
  - git 2.43: 442 passed;
  - git 2.47.1 (first on PATH): 442 passed.
  - They also passed on `6c861635` before the rebase: 442 on 2.47.1, and on 2.43 in groups of 115, 31, 24, 149 and 123.
- **git 2.43, every other test file that runs a changed script.** These are the files that name `adopt-project`, `ADOPT`, `shape_materialize`, `bump-leg` or `BUMP`, plus `test_shape_doctor.py`, `test_scaffold_leg_path_collisions.py` and the trio (`test_repo_hygiene.py`, `test_agents_md_codes.py`, `test_cli_reference.py`), less the six. That is 177 test files in two shards, 179 paths with `tests/conftest.py` and `tests/gh_guard.py`:
  - shard a, 88 files: 6371 passed, 33 skipped (`END 2026-10-20T23:52:07Z rc=0`);
  - shard b, 91 files: 6296 passed, 3 skipped (`END 2026-10-20T23:51:58Z rc=0`).

`git merge-tree --write-tree` of the head against origin/main and against each open PR that touches a file this changes. Each merge is clean, and no PR's added lines quote the changed words or name the changed functions:

Main moved after the runs above, which were made on `5e539a87`: #1071 (`bccae280`), #1076 (`c13c3985`), #1081 (`06cbd478`) and #1072 (`1e7971cd`) have landed. #1071 and #1072 touch two of this change's files, `tests/test_adopt_pins.py` and `adopt-project.py`. The head merges clean with origin/main `1e7971cd` (tree `ffb8249e`, from `git merge-tree --write-tree`), and the landing gates the predicted squash tree over the main of the day.

#1068 and #1064 have landed and are under this commit. `fix/904-kept-links` was not on origin when this was pushed; it is now #1091, open at `8f5fd0fd`, and merges with this head clean (tree `0153f3e7e3c9`, measured by rv1090). #1062 touches none of these files.

- rv1090, lane 5's independent reviewer, who wrote none of this: READY at `d5389eb6` (issuecomment-6316009648), with no MUST.
- Its SHOULD is a missing row: no row has an exponent of two or more digits, and the head quotes those names correctly.
- Its two code NITs: the no-`origin` bump refusal for a tag the leg holds, and an `else` nothing reaches. With the SHOULD, they are filed as #1103, to land after the v1.2.0 tag.
- Its body NITs are fixed above: 177 test files, one `Claim:` line, and #1091's state.

Review: rv1090, lane 5's independent reviewer, not the writer (w912): READY at `d5389eb6` (#1090 issuecomment-6316009648) with no MUST; its SHOULD (a missing row for exponents of two or more digits, which the head quotes correctly) and its two code NITs are filed as #1103 for after the v1.2.0 tag, and its body NITs are fixed.

…keeps refs, and asks a pin's file through the links the root keeps, so a link into `.git` or onto a pin's file is refused before any leg or adopted with the copy beside it (#904) (#1091)

A symlink the plan keeps in the root, where it leads into the clone's own `.git` or through a kept link to a pin's file, is refused before any leg exists for a reason that is true, or adopted with the shape's copy beside it (#904, lines L1-J1, L1-J2, L1-K2 and L1-K9 of #457, with L1-K8 as the rider).

#904's line numbers are at `5017830`. Each claim was measured again by name on main `6c861635`, and again on `5e539a87` after #1064 landed (#1071 and #1076 since then touch neither `adopt-project.py` nor `scripts/shape_materialize.py`).

- **L1-J1 held.** `CLONE_GIT_TREES` still counted `.git/objects`, `.git/refs`, `.git/logs` and `.git/modules` whole. `CLAUDE.md -> .git/refs/remotes/origin/main`, `-> .git/logs/refs/heads/nope` and `-> .git/modules/nope`: `check` 0 (`plan ok`), `execute` 0, `adoption verified`, 2 leg repositories, and the work clone's `.git/<target>` holds the shape's `CLAUDE.md`. Changed: `-> .git/objects/zz/nothing` now ends `REFUSED committing the split. materialize-blocked: ... there is no directory there to write it in`, still after both legs, where `5017830` printed a bare `REFUSED committing the split.`
- **L1-J2 held.** `CLAUDE.md -> .git/refs/../HEAD` and `-> .git/../AGENTS.md`: `check` 1, `plan-root-symlink` "it passes through `.git/refs` (`.git`), which is not a directory in the assembly root", 0 legs.
- **L1-K2 held**, and the same is true of the shape's own pin. `contracts -> governance`, `governance/` kept, `--pin openGlass@<commit>`: a file `governance/openglass-pin.yaml` gives `check` 0, `execute` 0, `beside shape/contracts/openglass-pin.yaml`, `adoption verified`, then the first bootstrap exits 2 with `REFUSED yaml-unparsable`; a link from it to `README.md` gives `REFUSED neutral-pin-unreadable`. With no pin declared and a file `governance/shape-pin.yaml`: `check` 0, `execute` 1 with `FINDING adopt-shape-pin-unreadable` after both legs.
- **L1-K9 held.** `shape/README.md -> ../README.md` kept: `check` 1 says "and `execute` would write the copy through it after both leg repositories were created and pushed" ("over it" for a file), and `execute` exits 2 before any leg. `place` asks `copy_in_the_way`, which stops at a link there, dangling or not, and writes nothing there.
- **L1-K8 is real.** Measured with git 2.47.1 and `GIT_DEFAULT_REF_FORMAT=reftable`: `CLAUDE.md -> .git/reftable` and `-> .git/reftable/tables.list` are refused (`plan-root-symlink`), though the clone holds both; `-> .git/packed-refs` checks ok and `execute` writes the shape's `CLAUDE.md` into `.git/packed-refs`; `-> .git/logs/HEAD` checks ok and stops after both legs. The clone's ref format comes from `GIT_DEFAULT_REF_FORMAT` or `init.defaultRefFormat`, never from the source, and git 2.43 ignores both.

What the clone's `.git` holds when the shape is written was listed from inside `execute` (the materializer wrapped), on git 2.43.0 and 2.47.1, files and reftable. Edge cases were measured too: a source whose HEAD is detached gets a guessed branch, and `core.logAllRefUpdates=false` (global or `GIT_CONFIG_*`) leaves no `.git/logs`.

All in `adopt-project.py`; the tests in `tests/test_adopt_root_symlinks.py` and `tests/test_adopt_root_shape_paths.py`.

- **Named, not counted whole (L1-J1).** `_CloneGit` replaces `CLONE_GIT`, `CLONE_GIT_FOLDED` and `CLONE_GIT_TREES`. It names what git makes there: `.git`, `HEAD`, `config`, `index`, `objects`, `objects/info`, `objects/pack`, `refs`, and `modules` with each leg's store at `modules/<mount path>`. On the files backend it adds `packed-refs`, `refs/heads`, `refs/tags` and the three loose refs `git clone` and `execute` write (the branch the clone checks out, `refs/remotes/origin/HEAD` and the split branch), with a log of each and `logs/HEAD` where git writes reflogs. On the reftable backend it adds `reftable`, `reftable/tables.list` and a `refs/heads` that is a file, and there is no `packed-refs` and no `logs` (L1-K8).
  - A name inside the object store, inside a leg's store, inside the reftable tables, or under `refs/heads` and `refs/remotes` when the source's HEAD is on no branch is neither there nor not there. `check` refuses a link to one, saying that it reads nothing there, so whether `place` writes the copy beside it or the shape's file into `.git` cannot be told before any leg exists.
  - Any other name in `.git` is nowhere. The finding says the shape would write its file through the link into `.git`, where no commit holds it, or would find no directory there and stop after both legs: whichever is true of its directory.
- **How git keeps refs is asked of the machine (L1-K8).** `_clone_ref_store` asks a throwaway repository in the work directory whether it is on the reftable backend and whether it writes reflogs, as `_checks_out_symlinks` asks about `core.symlinks`. `_SymlinkProbe.ref_store` makes that probe the first time a walk is led into the clone's `.git`, and keeps the answer. `check` makes it once, and `execute` twice, as it asks `_checks_out_symlinks` twice: once for `check`'s findings and once for `_refuse_symlinks_checked_out_as_files`. Without a work directory, or where no repository can be made, git's defaults are taken. `_entry_findings` now makes its one probe before `_leg_findings`, so the pins' walks share it.
- **`..` in `.git` (L1-J2).** For a link AT a path the shape writes, a `..` steps back out of a directory `_CloneGit` names, as the end of a target is found there. A link ABOVE one is still never followed into `.git` (D9); its finding now says so, for a `..` and for a target, where it said "not a directory in the assembly root" or "not in the source tree".
- **A pin's file through the kept links (L1-K2).** `_kept_pin_findings` asks each pin's file, the declared pins' and the shape's own, where the root walk reaches it through the links the plan keeps above it (`_Walk.reached`). Where that walk is stopped, the walk's own `plan-root-symlink` still names the link (`PIN_THROUGH`), so one link is one finding. The finding names the link and its remedy: "at `contracts/openglass-pin.yaml` through the symlink `contracts` to `governance` ... send `contracts` to a leg or `drop` it, or rename `governance/openglass-pin.yaml` in the source and re-run `plan`". The code is still `plan-root-holds-pin`, and `_pin_findings` and `_leg_findings` take `source` and `probe` from `_entry_findings`.
- **What the materializer does (L1-K9).** `plan-root-blocks-shape-copy` now says "the materializer writes no copy through it" (or "over it", "cannot write a file where a directory is", "cannot make a directory where a file is"), then ": it would stop there (`materialize-copy-blocked`), writing nothing there, after both leg repositories were created and pushed, so `execute` refuses this plan before either exists." The comment at "A SYMLINK OR A SUBMODULE" and the test's docstring and assertion say the same.
- **Codes kept.** No refusal code changed. Only tests pin the changed words: the README, the handbook mirror, `docs/cli.md` and `AGENTS.md` name none of these sentences.

The probes use #457's setup: a stub `gh` exiting 97, `GH_TOKEN=bogus`, an empty `GH_CONFIG_DIR`, `GIT_SSH_COMMAND=false`, `GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL=/dev/null`, local remotes, and every null `leg:` answered `root`. They ran on git 2.43.0 unless stated.

| Case | main `5e539a87` | this branch |
|---|---|---|
| `CLAUDE.md -> .git/refs/remotes/origin/main` | check 0, execute 0, verified, 2 legs, the shape's file in that `.git` file | check 1 `plan-root-symlink`, execute 2, 0 legs |
| `-> .git/logs/refs/heads/nope`, `-> .git/modules/nope` | the same as above | check 1, execute 2, 0 legs |
| `-> .git/objects/zz/nothing` | check 0, execute 2 after 2 legs | check 1 (object store not read), execute 2, 0 legs |
| `-> .git/refs/../HEAD`, `-> .git/../AGENTS.md` | check 1 "not a directory in the assembly root", 0 legs | check 0, execute 0, `beside shape/CLAUDE.md`, verified |
| `scripts -> .git/refs/..` (above) | check 1, 0 legs | check 1, 0 legs, saying a link above is never followed into `.git` |

| K9: `shape/README.md -> ../README.md`, and a file there | check 1 "`execute` would write the copy through (over) it" | check 1 "the materializer writes no copy through (over) it: it would stop there ..." |
| git 2.47.1 reftable: `-> .git/reftable`, `-> .git/reftable/tables.list` | check 1, 0 legs | check 0, execute 0, `beside shape/CLAUDE.md`, verified |

| git 2.47.1 reftable: `-> .git/logs/HEAD` | check 0, execute 2 after 2 legs | check 1, execute 2, 0 legs |

These names also adopt with the copy beside them, as on main: `.git/refs/heads/main`, `.git/refs/remotes/origin/HEAD`, `.git/refs/heads/adopt/three-repo-shape`, `.git/logs/refs/heads/main`, `.git/modules/code`, `.git/objects/info` and `.git/refs/tags`.

**Rows that fail on main.** The two test files of this branch were run on a clone of main `5e539a87` (whose `adopt-project.py` and `scripts/shape_materialize.py` are those of main `c13c3985f`): 42 failed, 277 passed, 3 skipped.

The 42 failures are every row this branch adds or changes, except those that hold on main too:
- L1-K9: the three #262 rows, the case-aside row, `test_a_symlink_at_the_copy_itself_is_in_the_way` and `test_a_link_at_the_copy_is_one_finding_by_the_rule_that_sees_it`.
- L1-J1, refused: the D9 row and the `.git/description` and `.git/hooks` rows (new words), four `J1-at-a-path-to-no-*` rows, `at-a-path-to-no-directory-in-dot-git`, `J1-at-a-path-into-the-object-store` and `at-a-path-into-a-legs-store`.
- L1-J2: three refused `J2-*` rows, two accepted `J2-*` rows, and the end-to-end `J2-back-out-of-refs-and-origins-head`.
- L1-K2: three `HELD_THROUGH` rows and the shape's own pin.
- The ref store: three no-probe rows, the probe's answer, no work directory, eight `ON_REFTABLE` rows, no reflogs, a detached source HEAD, and the probe made once.

The rows that pass on main too are kept as guards:
- the ten `GIT_NAMED` accepted rows and the end-to-end `the-cloned-branch-and-the-split-branchs-log`, names that were counted whole and are now named;
- the no-pin-file control;
- `test_the_materializer_stops_at_a_link_at_the_copy`, which is L1-K9's evidence that the materializer stops there.

The three rows that need git 2.45 or later were skipped there (git 2.43).

**Mutants.** Each mutant was applied alone to a copy of this head, and the rows that hold it were run on git 2.43. All 21 were killed, each by an `AssertionError`, with failed and selected counts as shown. None was equivalent.

| Mutant | Failed / selected |
|---|---|
| M1 an unread name counts as there | 2/2 |
| M2 the cloned branch is not named | 2/2 |
| M3 the split branch is not named | 2/2 |
| M4 reflogs always | 1/1 |
| M5 reftable never | 6/8 |
| M6 a `..` above is followed into `.git` | 1/1 |
| M6b no `..` out of a `.git` directory | 4/6 |
| M7 a link above is taken as one at | 1/2 |
| M8 a pin's file is not asked through links | 4/7 |
| M9 asked through a stopped walk too | 4/4 |
| M10 K9's old sentence | 2/47 |
| M11 the probe says reflogs always | 1/1 |
| M12 "written into `.git`" and "no directory" swapped | 5/6 |
| M13 the cloned branch is the branch read | 1/1 |
| M14 the clone's `.git` asked eagerly | 3/3 |
| M15 the ref probe's answer not kept | 1/1 |
| M16 no work directory gives no defaults | 1/1 |
| M17 the through-link remedy is the entry's | 4/7 |
| M18 the pins are asked without the source | 4/7 |
| M19 `reached` is taken from any part | 1/7 |
| M20 the `.git` reasons are gone | 9/9 |

**Runs** (`run9.sh`, one shared stub `gh`, `EMAIL`, `GIT_SSH_COMMAND=false`, `GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL=/dev/null`):
- git 2.43.0, both own test files: 319 passed, 3 skipped (the reftable rows).
- git 2.47.1 first on PATH, both own test files: 322 passed.
- git 2.43.0 gate: every test file that runs `adopt-project.py` (`grep -l` in `tests/`), with `test_shape_doctor.py`, `test_scaffold_leg_path_collisions.py`, `test_repo_hygiene.py`, `test_agents_md_codes.py` and `test_cli_reference.py`. That is 122 files in two shards of 61: shard A, 4075 passed, 10 skipped (`END 2026-10-20T23:41:03Z rc=0`); shard B, 4713 passed, 9 skipped (`END 2026-10-20T23:53:03Z rc=0`).

`git merge-tree --write-tree` of this head against:
- origin/main `c13c3985f`: clean. Main moved after the runs above, which were made on `c13c3985`: #1081 (`06cbd478`) and #1072 (`1e7971cd`) have landed, and #1072 touches `adopt-project.py`. Against origin/main `1e7971cd` the head is clean too, tree `cf4e2e68`.
- #1073 (`l3-914-adopt-record-and-doctor`, `b58a4e2cc`): clean. #1072 (`l3-918-source-and-locale`, `2ffd82356`) was clean too, and has landed since as `1e7971cd` (above).
- #1031 (`fix/910-check-throwaway-repos`, `74c17705e`): conflicts in `adopt-project.py`, 3 hunks. Both moved the one `_SymlinkProbe` in `_entry_findings`, and both added attributes to `_SymlinkProbe.__init__`. To resolve, make the probe before `_leg_findings` as this branch does, keep #1031's `unasked`, `linked` and `asked` lines, and keep both sets of attributes.
- #1070 (`fix/979-named-link-one-finding`, `20d2d4ba6`): conflicts in `adopt-project.py`, 7 hunks. Both added parameters to `_kept_pin_findings` and `_pin_findings` and changed their docstrings, the `_leg_findings` docstring and the "A SYMLINK OR A SUBMODULE" comment. To resolve, take both parameters (`named_links`, then `source` and `probe`) and both texts, and in that comment keep this branch's sentence on what `place` does at the copy, with #979's clause after it.
- #1081 and the other open pull requests touch none of these files; lane 5's #1090 (`fix/912-pin-questions`, `d5389eb6`, for #912) also changes `adopt-project.py`, and the head merges with it clean, tree `0153f3e7`.

Main moved to `2a119f28` while this was in review. Two of the pull requests that landed change `adopt-project.py`: #1031 (#910, the throwaway repositories `check` asks) and #1070 (#979, a named link at a copy or a pin is one finding). The branch was merged with main, not rebased, as `1cc9180fd` (parents `8f5fd0fd3` and `2a119f281`). Ten hunks of `adopt-project.py` conflicted, seven with #1070 and three with #1031. Each was resolved by reading both sides:

- **#1070.**
  - `_kept_pin_findings` and `_pin_findings` take both sets of parameters: `named_links` first, as main passes it, then `source` and `probe`, which the calls pass by keyword.
  - #979's `named_links` check stands in this branch's body as it is. A link `named_links` holds at the pin's file is left out. A walk that meets one through a link above has stopped, so the pin's file is asked at its literal path, where nothing is found, and the walk's own finding is left out too (`walk.empty`).
  - Both docstrings are kept, #979's paragraph first. `_leg_findings` passes `named_links, source=source, probe=probe`.
  - The "A SYMLINK OR A SUBMODULE" comment keeps this branch's sentence, that `place` stops at a link AT the copy and writes nothing through it. Main's "and as a write THROUGH it" is dropped, since it is not true. #979's clause follows.
- **#1031.**
  - In `_entry_findings`, #1031's `_paths_git_refuses` question comes first. The one `_SymlinkProbe` is then made before `_leg_findings`, because the walks of the pins' files ask it. #1031's `linked`, `asked` and `unasked_notes` lines and its `probe.notes()` are kept.
  - `_SymlinkProbe` keeps #1031's `unasked` beside this branch's `_refs`. `ref_store` now does what #1031 has `symlinks` do: where `git init` fails otherwise than with an `OSError`, it takes git's defaults (the files backend, with reflogs) and keeps git's words in `refs_unasked`. Before the merge, that failure raised out of `check` as "a git or gh command failed".
  - `notes()` gives each NOTE. The symlink NOTE keeps #1031's words, and the ref NOTE is new. Both take git's words from one `_init_refused`.
- Nothing else #1031 or #1070 changed is called by this branch's code. #1070's other hunks are the docstrings of `_links_at_a_copy` and `_links_at_a_pin`. #1031 leaves `_PlannedRoot`, `_checks_out_symlinks` and `_refuse_symlinks_checked_out_as_files` as they were.

New rows in `tests/test_adopt_root_symlinks.py` cover the ref probe's failed `git init`, raised as a `CommandFailed` and as a `Refusal`. Further rows check that an `OSError` gives no NOTE, and that `check` under `GIT_DEFAULT_HASH=bogus` says where git would not make the ref probe.

**Runs on `1cc9180fd`** (`run9.sh`, as before):
- git 2.43.0, both own test files: 323 passed, 3 skipped (the reftable rows).
- git 2.47.1 first on PATH, both own test files: 326 passed.
- The two test files on main `2a119f28`'s code: 46 failed, 277 passed, 3 skipped. These are the 42 of before plus the four new ref-probe rows.
- Mutants, re-run where the resolution touched them, each killed:
  - M8, M9, M15, M16, M17, M18 and M22 by an `AssertionError`.
  - New: M21, the ref probe's failed `git init` raising as before. It fails two rows because the `CommandFailed` or `Refusal` it lets out escapes, and one row by an `AssertionError`.
  - M23 removes #979's `named_links` skip at a pin's file. Only #979's own `test_a_named_link_at_a_copy_or_a_pin_is_one_finding` holds it, and that test fails by a `ValueError`, not an `AssertionError`: it unpacks exactly one finding (`tests/test_adopt_symlink_target_bytes.py:667` and `:818`), and the mutant gives two.
- Gate, git 2.43.0: the 125 test files the merged tree has for `adopt-project.py`, with `test_shape_doctor.py`, `test_scaffold_leg_path_collisions.py` and the trio, in two shards. Shard B (62 files): 4507 passed, 15 skipped, `END 2026-10-21T13:14:42Z rc=0`. Shard A (63 files) was running at the checkpoint: at 87% at 13:43Z, with no failure so far.

Commit `160de1186`, on top of the merge, answers rv1091's review of `8f5fd0fd`. rv1091 re-checked it: SHOULD 1, SHOULD 2 and NITs 1-3 are fixed, and the two test files gave 326 passed, 3 skipped.

- **SHOULD 1: "writing nothing" was false.** `place` writes the shape's files in order and stops only at the blocked copy, so every copy before it is written. rv1091 measured 0, 5, 9 and 12 files written before the stop, at `shape/README.md`, `shape/CLAUDE.md`, `shape/Makefile` and `shape/.github/workflows/validate.yml`. `plan-root-blocks-shape-copy` now says "it would stop there (`materialize-copy-blocked`), writing nothing there, after both leg repositories were created and pushed". That matches the materializer's own "and nothing was written there". The comment above the sentence says the same, and `STOPS` in `tests/test_adopt_root_shape_paths.py` pins the new words.
- **SHOULD 2: SonarCloud's two `python:S5778`.** Both are in rows this PR adds, and each made a second call inside `pytest.raises`. `template_values()` (the materializer's link-at-the-copy row) and `loaded.open_source(None, work)` (the row that checks the ref probe is made once) are now made before the block.
- **NIT 1: `python:S3776` on `_kept_pin_findings`.** Sonar's analysis of the merged function gives 30. The finding for one pin's file on one disk is now `_kept_pin_finding`, and the through-link words and their fix are `_through_the_kept_link`. The nested conditional in `_shape_pin_held`'s argument is now a statement. Sonar's analysis of the new functions (`analyze_code_snippet`, project `opensoft_openRepoShape`) finds no issue in them.
  - Each return value stands for what the loop did before. None asks the next disk, `[]` is #979's named link, and a list of one line is the finding.
- **NIT 2: what a guessed refs directory holds.** The case is a source whose HEAD is on no branch. The text "where `git clone` writes the branch it checks out" was given for `.git/refs/remotes`, `.git/logs/refs/heads` and `.git/logs/refs/remotes` as well as `.git/refs/heads`. `_guessed_refs` now says what `git clone` writes in each one:
  - in `refs/heads`, the branch it checks out;
  - in `refs/remotes`, `origin/HEAD` for that branch;
  - in the two `logs/` directories, the reflog of either.

  This was measured on git 2.43.0 and 2.47.1, for a source detached at a branch's tip and for one detached off any tip. In the first case git checks out `main` and writes `refs/remotes/origin/HEAD` (`ref: refs/remotes/origin/main`) and the reflogs of both. In the second it writes neither, and `refs/heads` holds only the split branch. Each link is still refused, as "cannot be told". The detached-HEAD row is now four rows, one per directory.
- **NIT 3: the ref probe is made "once per command".** That was false for `execute`. Counted in process with `CLAUDE.md -> .git/HEAD`, `check` makes the probe once, with or without a kept `.gitattributes`, and `execute` makes it twice. The first is for `check`'s findings, which `_refuse_what_check_finds` asks. The second is for the walks of `_refuse_symlinks_checked_out_as_files`, which make their own `_SymlinkProbe`, as they ask `_checks_out_symlinks` again on main. The code is unchanged. The sentence under "What changed" now says so.

- **NIT 4: two mutants of rv1091's that survived the first round.**
  - R8 guesses only `refs/heads` for a detached source, not `refs/remotes`. Round 2's detached-HEAD rows for `.git/refs/remotes/origin/HEAD` and its reflog kill it (M28 below).
  - R6 has the fix rename the kept file rather than the path the walk reaches. It still survives here, because no row keeps a directory at the reached pin file. That is a gap in the tests, not in the code. The row is a follow-up for after the v1.2.0 tag, written and run but not in this PR: `contracts -> governance`, with `governance/openglass-pin.yaml/notes.md` kept, gives "inside `contracts/openglass-pin.yaml` through the symlink ... rename `governance/openglass-pin.yaml`", and main checks it with exit 0.

**Words.** A grep of `tests/`, `README.md`, `docs/` (outside the release notes), `AGENTS.md` and `templates/` finds the changed words only in the two test files. No refusal code changed.

**Rows that fail on main.** The detached-HEAD rows for `.git/refs/remotes/origin/HEAD`, `.git/logs/refs/heads/main` and `.git/logs/refs/remotes/origin/HEAD` are new. A probe on main `2a119f28` gives `check` exit 0 for all four links, so main refuses none of them, and every row expects a refusal. The pytest run of these rows on main was not made before the checkpoint. On the merge `1cc9180fd` all four are refused, but the three new ones say "the branch it checks out".

**Mutants** on `160de1186` were not run before the checkpoint. Each is written, and its anchor occurs once in `160de1186`'s `adopt-project.py`:
- M17 and M23, re-anchored on the new helpers: the through-link fix becomes the kept entry's, and `_kept_pin_finding`'s `return []` for #979's named link is dropped;
- M24: every guessed directory says what `refs/heads` holds;
- M25: no "the reflog of";
- M26: the K9 sentence's old "writing nothing,";
- M28: rv1091's R8;
- M8, re-run.
rv1091 ran R8 at `160de118`, and the NIT 2 rows kill it (2 of 4 failed).

**Runs on `160de1186`** (`run9.sh`, as before):
- git 2.43.0, both own test files: rv1091 ran them at `160de118`, 326 passed, 3 skipped (the reftable rows).
  - Mine ran at `3abf3b1f5`: 327 passed, 3 skipped, `END 2026-10-21T13:32:51Z rc=0`.
  - `3abf3b1f5` is `160de118` plus the R6 row alone, the follow-up kept off this branch. Its `adopt-project.py` and `tests/test_adopt_root_shape_paths.py` are `160de118`'s, and its `tests/test_adopt_root_symlinks.py` adds that one test function.
- git 2.43.0, `test_shape_doctor.py`, `test_scaffold_leg_path_collisions.py`, `test_repo_hygiene.py`, `test_agents_md_codes.py` and `test_cli_reference.py`: running at the checkpoint, at 19% at 13:43Z, with no failure so far.
- Not started before the checkpoint:
  - the seven other test files that pin `plan-root-holds-pin` or the K9 sentence (`test_adopt_pins.py`, `test_adopt_shape_pin_and_work_dir.py`, `test_adopt_symlink_target_bytes.py`, `test_adopt_ignored_shape_files.py`, `test_adopt_root_manifest.py`, `test_adopt_nested_attributes.py` and `test_adopt_reencoded_files.py`), though all seven are in the gate on `1cc9180fd`;
  - the two own files on git 2.47.1.
- CI runs the full suite on the push.

**Merge-trees** of `160de1186`, by `git merge-tree --write-tree`:
- origin/main `7e00834cf`: clean, tree `0b8a5bc9`. #1087 (`16f9a0e81`) and `7e00834cf` landed after the merge and change none of this branch's files. #1087 changes `scripts/shape_materialize.py`, whose `place` and `copy_in_the_way` the K9 sentence describes, but only the fetch for a branch's answer.
- #1090 (`1ad76055b`): clean, tree `108c3a8e`.
- origin/main `6da757cbe`, re-fetched at about 13:10Z, after #1090 landed: clean, tree `283d7b52`.
  - #1090 changes `adopt-project.py` in the NOTE `check` prints for a pin's digest and in the docstring of `_neutral_product_pins`.
  - Neither is code this branch changes, and no row here pins those words.

…y a member's failed clone ends git's update with 1 before any checkout but a leg's lets it go on, and `killed_said` says git's update was itself killed, not that it went on (#1085) (#1088)

The two texts #1076 (#1056) left in the family root's `bootstrap.py` say what git does. A member's clone that fails ends git's update before any checkout, where a leg's lets it go on, and a run whose git was itself killed is not said to have gone on. This is #1085, found by rv1076, lane 5's independent review of #1076 (its NITs 1 and 2).

Round 1 was one commit, on main `c13c3985` (where #1076 landed); round 2 (below) adds a second. It changes two files: the family root's `templates/family-root/scripts/bootstrap.py` (docstrings, and one line of `killed_said`) and `tests/test_family_bootstrap_stops_named.py` (one row). 2 files, 55 insertions, 14 deletions.

### NIT 1: two docstrings, no behaviour

- **`credential_advice`** said "a clone that fails, a member's or a leg's, gives 1, and git's update goes on". That is true of a leg's clone and not of a member's. It now says:
  - a member's fetch that fails ends the update with 128 (as before);
  - a member's clone that fails a second time, git having retried it, ends the update with 1 before any gitlink at that level is checked out (`quickstop`, git's `update_submodules`);
  - a leg's clone that fails gives its member's update 1, and git's update goes on (rv996's NIT 2 on #1045, kept).
- **`ended_on`** said `128 + N` is the update's code "where a git it ran died of signal N ... and no gitlink after it failed". A member's `git submodule--helper clone` that dies of signal N never gives that code: git retries it, and where the retry fails too the update ends in `quickstop`'s 1, even with nothing after it. The docstring now says so, and what that reads as:
  - **traced (no token in use):** `died_in` names the signal, since `git submodule--helper clone` is a git the update ran, and `signal_met` asks the trace first;
  - **with a token in use** (the update is not traced, #996): the update's code is 1, which reads as the credential's skip, the advice and `ok`, the limit `credential_advice` already says for a signal before a later failure.

### NIT 2: `killed_said`, one line

Where git's trace gave a git's signal (`Died(9, 137)`) and git's update returned `-9` (Python's code for git itself killed), the line said:

```
a git that git's update ran died of signal 9 (SIGKILL, exit 137), and git's update went on and ended with exit -9. Git's own words above say which git and where.
```

git's update did not go on and end: it was killed. It now says:

```
a git that git's update ran died of signal 9 (SIGKILL, exit 137), and git's update was itself killed (exit -9). Git's own words above say which git and where.
```

Every other line is byte for byte as before. I compared main's and this head's `killed_said` over 23,814 `(Died, returncode)` pairs (for each update code from -70 to 299: the update's own `ended_on` signal, where it gives one, and a trace's signal N = 1 to 64 with code `128 + N`), with `ended_on` itself:

- `ended_on` differs for 0 codes of -70..299;
- the pairs where the code is the update's own (the 134 codes that give a signal, #998's texts): 0 differ;
- the pairs where a trace's signal and a positive update code differ: 0;
- 4,480 pairs differ, each with a negative update code and a trace code (70 codes x 64 signals), and each now says "was itself killed (exit -N)".

(A script that loads main's and the head's `bootstrap.py` from `git archive` copies; its output is in lane 5's scratch notes, `v118/w1085/runs/probe-texts.txt`.) The failure line `(a git it ran died of signal N)` is unchanged, as it is true.

### Texts that pin those words

A grep of `tests/`, `README.md`, `docs/` (the handbook included), `AGENTS.md` and `contracts/` for "went on and ended", "killed_said", "went on", "member's or a leg's", "goes on (rv996", "UPDATE KILLED" and "quickstop" finds the words only in `bootstrap.py` and in `tests/test_family_bootstrap_stops_named.py`. There, `WENT_ON` pins "went on and ended with exit {ended}" with `ended` 128 and 1 (real runs, a positive code), which is unchanged and still passes. The README, the docs and the handbook say none of them.

The stops-named file's module docstring gains one paragraph for the new row.

I read, and did not run (no network clone, no real gh, no token):

- **git 2.47.1**: the local build tree of the git the lane's runs use first on PATH (`builtin/submodule--helper.c`, `run-command.c`, `trace2/tr2_tgt_event.c`, `usage.c`, `git-submodule.sh`).
- **git 2.43.0**: upstream's `v2.43.0` tag, the same five files (`builtin/submodule--helper.c` is byte for byte the copy an earlier lane 5 writer kept, w648c on #682, sha256 `9383338c...`; the other four I fetched as raw files from the tag, a read, not a clone). `/usr/bin/git` here is Ubuntu's `2.43.0-1ubuntu7.3`, which I did not read the patches of.

| claim | source (2.47.1 line, 2.43.0 line) |
|---|---|
| a member's clone is a `git` child, `git submodule--helper clone` | `prepare_to_clone_next_submodule`: `child->git_cmd = 1`, args `submodule--helper clone` (:2141-2146, :2053-2058); trace2's `child_start` writes `git` first for a `git_cmd` child (`tr2_tgt_event.c` :358-361, :359-361) |
| a child killed by signal N gives 128 + N | `wait_or_whine` `code += 128` (`run-command.c` :576, :569); `finish_command` hands it on and writes `child_exit` (:986-993, :976-983) |
| that code never reaches the update's own | `pp_collect_finished` passes it to `update_clone_task_finished` (:1700-1703, :1690-1693), which answers 0 ("Retry scheduled", :2265) the first time and, the second, sets `quickstop` and answers 1 ("a second time, aborting", :2276-2280; 2.43.0 :2185-2189) |
| `quickstop` ends the update with 1 before any checkout | `update_submodules`: `if (suc.quickstop) { ret = 1; goto cleanup; }` (:2737-2740, :2621-2624), before the loop that runs `update_submodule` for each gitlink |
| a member's fetch that fails ends it with 128 | `run_update_procedure`: `return die_message(...)`, and `die_message` returns 128 (`usage.c` :230-238, :227-235); the loop stops at 128 only (:2772, :2647) |
| a leg's clone that fails gives its member's update 1 and git's update goes on | the same `update_submodules` runs in the member's own `git submodule--helper update` (`update_submodule`: `ret = run_command(&cp)`, :2700, :2584, which discards `die_message`'s 128 and returns the member's 1); the holder's loop keeps going on any code but 128 |
| `git submodule update` passes the helper's code on | `git-submodule.sh`: the helper is `cmd_update`'s last command, no `\|\| exit` (:380-403, :341-363) |

Two offline probes, local paths only (no network, no gh, no token, `git config` never run, `GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL=/dev/null`; lane 5's scratch notes, `v118/w1085/probe/quickstop.sh`, with its outputs `out243.txt` and `out247.txt`), on git 2.43.0 and 2.47.1, give the same on both:

| state | git's update | what is in the work trees |
|---|---|---|
| holder with `members/A`, `members/B` (a url that is not there), `members/C` | exit 1, `Failed to clone 'members/B'. Retry scheduled`, then `a second time, aborting` | A and C cloned, **none checked out** (`.git` only), B empty |
| holder with `members/M` (its leg `legs/L2` has a url that is not there) and `members/N` after it | exit 1, `Failed to clone 'legs/L2'. Retry scheduled` | **M and N both checked out** (git's update went on past M's 1); M's leg L1 cloned, not checked out |

**Not run:**
- `bootstrap.py` itself over a member's clone killed by a signal. Git's update over one was measured in round 2 below (rv1088's probe, which I ran again), and the trace's `child_start` argv for it is from `tr2_tgt_event.c`;
- git 2.43.0's remote helper or any network clone;
- Windows and macOS (CI is Linux only, #597).

One thing I read and left alone, as the brief says every other line stays byte for byte: where the trace names a signal and the update's code is a positive 1 from `quickstop`, `killed_said` still says "git's update went on and ended with exit 1". It ended there rather than went on. It is a wording nit of the same kind, not a behaviour; I did not change it here.

`test_an_update_itself_killed_after_a_signal_is_not_said_to_go_on` (new; 48 rows before, 49 after). It loads the family root's `bootstrap.py` as a module (`loaded`, from `tests/test_family_holder_bootstrap_texts.py`, which the stops-named file already imports from) and calls `killed_said(Died(9, 137), -9)`, as `signal_met` hands it its arguments. No run here reaches that line short of the OOM killer taking a checkout and later the top `git`. One assert, `said == KILLED_AFTER.format(...)`, no `and` or `or`.

Main's `bootstrap.py` bytes (sha256 `f1c156e2...`) against this branch's 49-row file, git 2.43.0: **1 failed, 48 passed**. The failure, from `v118/w1085/runs/mut-mainbytes.log`:

```
E         - s update was itself killed (exit -9). Git's own words above say which git and where.
E         + s update went on and ended with exit -9. Git's own words above say which git and where.
```

The other 48 rows pass on main's bytes (the old `WENT_ON` rows say only positive codes). At this head it passes.

Each applied alone to the change's `bootstrap.py` (a script replaces one exact string and asserts it occurs once), the stops-named file run on git 2.43.0 (`/usr/bin/git`) through `run9.sh`, the file put back from the head's bytes and its sha256 checked (`a52483c8...`) after each. Lane 5's scratch notes, `v118/w1085/runs/mutants-summary.txt`.

| | mutant | result |
|---|---|---|
| M1 | the new branch dropped (the ternary replaced by the old wording alone) | killed: 1 failed (the new row), 48 passed |
| M2 | the negative test inverted (`returncode > 0`) | killed: 7 failed, 42 passed: the new row and the six that say "went on" (both killed-checkout rows, P3, the both-named row, `two-members`, `two-legs`) |
| M3 | the old "went on and ended with exit N" kept for negative codes (the branch's text is the old wording, its test kept) | killed: 1 failed (the new row) |
| M4 | "went on" kept beside the new words (`went on and was itself killed (exit -9)`) | killed: 1 failed (the new row) |
| M5 | the test asks the trace's code, not the update's (`died.code < 0`) | killed: 1 failed (the new row) |
| M6 | the code not said (`was itself killed`) | killed: 1 failed (the new row) |

M1 and M3 behave the same (both give the old wording for a negative code) and differ in the text of the mutation only.

All through `run9.sh` (the real `gh` replaced by a stub, `GH_TOKEN` a fake, every `LANES_*` variable cleared, `EMAIL=service@opensoft.dev`, `GIT_SSH_COMMAND=false`, `GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL=/dev/null`), at most two at once, never the full suite. At this head, `bootstrap.py` sha256 `a52483c8...`, the test file `2fb6b4dd...`.

| run | git | result |
|---|---|---|
| `tests/test_family_bootstrap_stops_named.py` (49 rows) | 2.43.0 (`/usr/bin/git`) | **49 passed** |
| the same | 2.47.1 (`git --version` printed `git version 2.47.1`; the lane's local 2.47.1 build first on PATH) | **47 passed, 2 skipped** (the two P3 rows: that git exits 128 there, where 2.43.0's crashes with 139) |
| `tests/test_family.py`, `tests/test_update_shape_kept_helper.py` (the two files `grep -l 'family-root/scripts/bootstrap' tests/*.py` gives) and `tests/test_family_holder_bootstrap_texts.py` | 2.43.0 | **328 passed** |
| `tests/test_pinned_copy_text.py` and the trio (`test_repo_hygiene.py`, `test_agents_md_codes.py`, `test_cli_reference.py`), with `test_template_text_placeholders.py` | 2.43.0 | **399 passed** |
| the six mutants and main's bytes | 2.43.0 | see above |

flake8 on `bootstrap.py` shows the 3 findings main has (E501 at line 7 and 2327, E127 at 1168), and on the test file the same 120 F811 findings main's file has (the fixture imports). New lines are 79 characters at most, ASCII only.

`git merge-tree --write-tree` of this head `88af1b7b8` against `origin/main`, fetched again with `-c gc.auto=0 -c maintenance.auto=false` just before the push (it moved once while this was open: `06cbd4789`, #1081, one test file), and against each open PR that touches `bootstrap.py`, read with `gh pr list --state open --json number,headRefName,files` (9 open; #1062 touches the family root's `bootstrap.py`; #1075's files are `siblings.py` and two test files; #1087, new since the first read, touches neither):

| against | result |
|---|---|
| `origin/main` `06cbd4789` (one commit past this branch's base `c13c3985`; it touches only `tests/test_doctor_gitlink_repairs.py`) | clean, tree `a10ffa31c` (against `c13c3985` the merge was this head's own tree, `deeab934f`) |
| #1062 `fix/1040-windows-start-errors` `957ba0386` (touches `bootstrap.py`, in `git_not_started`) | clean, tree `46f25219c`; the merged family root `bootstrap.py` parses, and holds `died_in`, `quickstop`, "was itself killed (exit" and #1062's `4551` |
| #1075 `fix/1055-siblings-untraced` `041f7831b` (lane 5's: `siblings.py`) | clean, tree `02b01b276`; the merged `siblings.py` imports `REWRITE_TARGETS`, `credential`, `member_make_environment`, `member_path`, `members_of` and `untraced` from `bootstrap.py`, and all six are defined at module level in the merged `bootstrap.py` |

None of the other open PRs touches `bootstrap.py` or the stops-named file. This change defines and renames nothing a caller imports.

`templates/family-root/scripts/bootstrap.py` is in `FAMILY_COPIED_VERBATIM`, so each holder takes one `upstream-changed` row for it, as for #1045 and #1076. Nothing else is pinned. No Windows or macOS run was made.

rv1088 (#1088 issuecomment-6314332205) found the review READY with one NIT: the sentence this PR added to `ended_on` said git's update retries a killed member clone, and it does not always. This round is one commit on top of `88af1b7b8` (the branch was not rebased), docstring only, one file (`templates/family-root/scripts/bootstrap.py`, +8 -4). No behaviour changes, and `killed_said`'s "went on and ended with exit 1" line is left as it is (rv1088 found it true).

**Measured, offline, on git 2.43.0 and 2.47.1** (rv1088's `killprobe.sh`: a remote helper that SIGKILLs the `git submodule--helper clone` above it; I ran both modes again on both gits and got the same):

| the member's clone | git's update | work trees |
|---|---|---|
| killed on both attempts | exit 1: `Retry scheduled`, then `a second time, aborting` | A and C hold `.git` only, B empty: nothing checked out |
| killed once, its own `git clone` child left running (it writes `members/B/.git`) | exit 0: `Retry scheduled`, then `BUG: submodule considered for cloning, doesn't need cloning any more?`, no second attempt | A, B and C all checked out |

`ended_on` now says: git's update retries a killed member clone where it left no `.git` at the member's path, and where the retry fails too ends in `quickstop`'s 1 before any gitlink at that level is checked out; where its own `git clone` lived on and wrote that `.git`, git retries nothing and goes on, and exits 0 with every gitlink checked out (measured, git 2.43.0 and 2.47.1). "Read, not run" is now "measured". `signal_met` already says nothing for an exit of 0, and `credential_advice`'s "fails a second time, git having retried it" stays true, so neither changes.

No other text pins those words: a grep of `tests/`, `README.md`, `docs/` (the handbook included) and `AGENTS.md` for "retries it", "doesn't need cloning", "never gives that code" and "quickstop" finds them only in `bootstrap.py`, and the round-1 words "(read in git 2.43.0's and 2.47.1's submodule--helper.c, not run)" are gone everywhere. "not run" alone appears in other files only in unrelated senses (rv1088's re-check). flake8 shows the same 3 findings as before (the lines moved by 4).

**Runs** at this head, through `run9.sh` with `EMAIL=service@opensoft.dev` (`GIT_SSH_COMMAND=false` and `GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL=/dev/null` set by the runner), the stops-named file and the trio at the same time:

| run | git | result |
|---|---|---|
| `tests/test_family_bootstrap_stops_named.py` | 2.43.0 (`/usr/bin/git`) | **49 passed** |
| `tests/test_repo_hygiene.py`, `tests/test_agents_md_codes.py`, `tests/test_cli_reference.py` | 2.43.0 | **170 passed** |
| `tests/test_family_bootstrap_stops_named.py` (`git --version` printed `git version 2.47.1`, the lane's 2.47.1 build first on PATH) | 2.47.1 | **47 passed, 2 skipped** (the two P3 rows, as before) |

**Merges**, `git merge-tree --write-tree` of this head against `origin/main` re-fetched with `-c gc.auto=0 -c maintenance.auto=false`:

| against | result |
|---|---|
| `origin/main` `16f9a0e81` (#1087 and the commits since this branch's base; #1062 has landed, so main's `bootstrap.py` moved) | clean, tree `b3b454168`; the merged family root `bootstrap.py` parses and holds `died_in`, `git_not_started`, "was itself killed (exit" and the new BUG sentence |
| #1075 `fix/1055-siblings-untraced` `962ae43c1` (its head moved since round 1) | clean, tree `a4c72197c`; the merged `siblings.py` imports `REWRITE_TARGETS`, `credential`, `member_make_environment`, `member_path`, `members_of` and `untraced` from `bootstrap.py`, and all six are defined in the merged `bootstrap.py` |

The other open PRs touch neither `bootstrap.py` nor the stops-named file. #1088 stays a draft.

Review: rv1088, lane 5's independent opus reviewer, which wrote none of #1088: READY at `26f49d85`, H0 of this landing (issuecomment-6316937429), with no MUST or SHOULD; its one body NIT is fixed in the body. CI (Brett Heap's ruling 27 and his fast-refresh ruling of 2026-10-15T22:48:35Z): H0 26f49d8 passed tests, tests-git-bash and SonarCloud; the head dedc0da is a clean update-branch merge of main 0d76e4c, with tests-git-bash and SonarCloud green; and the local gate passed on its predicted squash tree 377691f over main 0d76e4c: the family_bootstrap_stops_named, repo_hygiene, agents_md_codes, cli_reference sets, 220 passed. Landed on Brett Heap's word of 2026-10-23T13:10:26Z, relayed to every lane by lane 3 (#473 issuecomment-6365697123): "merge v1.2.1 PRs once reviewed and green".
