adopt-project.py: check and execute spell every path a FINDING or a refusal names as plan's questions spell it, so a source name holding a carriage return, a line feed, U+0085, U+2028 or an ESC no longer overwrites, splits or escapes the line it is printed on (#212) - #223

Claim: #212 (comment)

What

check and execute now spell every path a FINDING or a refusal names through _spelled, the helper plan already uses for its questions. A spelled path sits between backticks. \r, \n, \x85, \u2028, \x1b and every other character str.isprintable refuses are written as backslash escapes. So is a byte that is not UTF-8 (\xNN), and so are a backslash and a backtick. A finding is therefore one line of printable text, whatever the source's author named a file.

Correction to the first commit's body. It says the spelling "reads one way only", and that is not quite true. A raw byte 0x80-0xA0 or 0xAD and the character U+0080-U+00A0 or U+00AD are both spelled \xNN, which makes 34 pairs. A source holding both Icon<0x85> and Icon<U+0085> therefore prints the same finding twice. Main's _spelled already did this, and plan's questions have done it since #166. The squash message prepared for the merge drops the claim and says this instead. The ambiguity itself is a follow-up (Left out).

Why

Measured on this machine. The first two tables and the byte-identity check were measured on main a5b09c3 against the first commit, 35cb5f8. That commit has the same tree as 58b4343, which only rewrites a raw U+2028 in the commit message as \u2028. The fix-round table follows them.

The issue's own repro (sh, with the checkout as a parameter and check's exit code captured):

case main a5b09c3 head (35cb5f8)
route 1: entry "README\nX.md", check stderr through cat -A exit 1. FINDING plan-empty-entry: README$ then X.md covers nothing in the source tree at this commit$. One finding prints on two lines, and the second does not start with FINDING exit 1. FINDING plan-empty-entry: `README\nX.md` covers nothing in the source tree at this commit$. One line
route 1, the uncovered README.md FINDING plan-uncovered: README.md is in the source tree and in no plan entry FINDING plan-uncovered: `README.md` is in the source tree and in no plan entry
route 2: tree path Icon<CR>, check stderr through od -c exit 1. The dump reads I c o n \r i s: the raw carriage return, which sends the cursor back over the line exit 1. The dump reads ` I c o n \ r ` i s: printable

The in-process repro adds five top-level names Icon<char> after the plan with git mktree. It then runs check as a subprocess, and runs execute in process with the git filter-repo probe stubbed:

case main a5b09c3 head (35cb5f8)
check stderr, split on b'\n' exit 1. 5 findings print as 6 physical lines: b'FINDING plan-uncovered: Icon', b' is in the source tree and in no plan entry', ...Icon\r..., ...Icon\x1b..., ...Icon\xc2\x85..., ...Icon\xe2\x80\xa8... exit 1. 5 lines: b'FINDING plan-uncovered: `Icon\\n` ...', then `Icon\\r`, `Icon\\x1b`, `Icon\\x85`, `Icon\\u2028`
execute --yes REFUSED plan-uncovered: 5 finding(s) ... as `check` prints them:, then the same raw lines (6 physical lines). No remote is created the same refusal on 5 spelled lines. No remote is created
plan-duplicate-path (in process) d\u2028/ appears 2 times, isprintable() False ... `d\\u2028/` appears 2 times, True
plan-covered-twice s/a/b\rc is covered by ['s/', 's/a/'], False ... `s/a/b\\rc` is covered by `s/`, `s/a/` , True
plan-empty-entry gone\x85/ covers nothing ..., False `gone\\x85/` covers nothing ..., True
plan-unresolved x\ny still has `leg: null`..., False ... `x\\ny` still has `leg: null`..., True
plan-bad-leg e\x1bf declares leg 'Spec'..., False `e\\x1bf` declares leg 'Spec'..., True
plan-submodule-unregistered the submodule vendor/d\rp (entry vendor/) ..., False the submodule `vendor/d\\rp` (entry `vendor/`) ..., True
adopt-duplicated du\rp is in spec:..., root:..., False `du\\rp` is in spec:..., root:..., True
adopt-lost l\x1bost (111111111111) is in no leg ..., False `l\\x1bost` (111111111111) is in no leg ..., True
execute's plan-unresolved refusal detail 1 path(s) still have `leg: null`: x\ny 1 path(s) still have `leg: null`: `x\\ny`
adopt-mount-occupied (_refusal_for_held) ... the leg mount path: `spec/Icon\r` (a file) and 1 more, False ... the leg mount path: `spec/Icon\\r` (a file) and 1 more, True

Byte-identical to main. I ran plan and then check on main a5b09c3 and on the head, against tests/conftest.py's synthetic source with its three questions answered, and diffed the bytes. There were five cases:

  • the default plan;
  • --spec-path .specify, which gives two collision notes from plan and one plan-leg-path-collides finding in check, so it exercises _kept_collisions and _first_and_more;
  • --spec-path docs/architecture.md;
  • the refused --code-path Makefile;
  • the refused --code-path .github.

In every case these were byte-identical: plan's exit code, stdout, stderr and plan file, and check's exit code, stdout and stderr. A finding that names an ordinary path is not byte-identical, because it gains the backticks. tests/test_adopt_mount_ignored.py asserts adopt-mount-occupied on ordinary names and passes unchanged.

Fix round 1, measured with repro3.py on main 54aa69a against the head d41c4b3, each run in process:

case main 54aa69a head d41c4b3
adopt-root-submodule, gitlink ven\rdor ven\rdor is a gitlink to dddddddddddd ..., isprintable() False `ven\\rdor` is a gitlink to dddddddddddd ..., True
adopt-unexpected-gitlink, the same gitlink at another commit ven\rdor is a gitlink to ..., False `ven\\rdor` is a gitlink to ..., True
_index_entries + _entry_named, index names spec/a<0xFE> and spec/a<0xFF> `spec/a<U+FFFD>` (a file) twice `spec/a\\xfe` (a file), `spec/a\\xff` (a file)
execute's plan-stale, branch ma<U+2028>in ... and ma\u2028in is now at bbbbbbbbbbbb, False ... and `ma\\u2028in` is now at bbbbbbbbbbbb, True

The byte-identity check above was re-run on main 54aa69a against the head d41c4b3. All five cases are byte-identical. A stale plan's plan-stale line is not one of them, and it gains backticks around the branch.

Fix round 3, measured on main 39ac59c against the head e384505, in scratch worktrees of each:

  • The five byte-identity cases above: all five identical again (plan exit code, stdout, stderr and plan file, check exit code, stdout and stderr).
  • The scaffold's collision refusals are byte-identical to main's. git diff origin/main HEAD -- scaffold-project.py is empty, and the only difference in scripts/shape_materialize.py is the optional spell argument, whose default writes what main wrote. I also ran scaffold-project.py --org testorg --project Northwind --elected-by 'Test Human' --elected-on 2026-09-02 --dry-run with eight leg-path arguments on each checkout: --spec-path contracts, --code-path project.yaml, --code-path Makefile/code, --spec-path Contracts, --spec-path .specify/x, --spec-path spec --code-path scripts, --spec-path contracts/openglass-pin.yaml --pin openGlass@<40 ones> and --spec-path spec --code-path code. Six print REFUSED scaffold-leg-path-collides: ... and exit 2, two plan and exit 0. All eight outputs are the same bytes on both once the checkout's path and the shape ... @ <commit> line (the checkout's own commit) are masked. For example REFUSED scaffold-leg-path-collides: --spec-path 'contracts' contains `contracts/spec-pin.yaml` and 3 more.
  • first_and_more(paths, spell=_spelled) is _spelled(paths[0]) plus the count of the rest, for ['x.md'], ['a/b.md', 'c'], ['Icon\r'], ['l\u2028s', 'x', 'y'], ['a`b\\c', 'z'] and ['caf\udce9']. Without spell, it returns the path raw between backticks, as on main.

Tests

tests/test_adopt_finding_spelling.py is new, with 128 cases. It checks every finding code above, plus adopt-mount-occupied and execute's plan-stale, against each of the five characters. Each finding must be one line, pass str.isprintable(), hold the _spelled name, and hold no raw character.

  • The end-to-end cases build the names with git mktree/git commit-tree, so no filesystem has to hold them. They read check's output as bytes and run execute in process.
  • The non-UTF-8 index names go in with git update-index --index-info.
  • check's plan-stale runs on a real branch named with U+0085 and with U+2028. Those are the two of the five characters that git lets into a ref name.

Each case added in a fix-round commit fails without that commit's code change.

The existing test files gain backticks in their finding assertions: test_adopt_execute_refusals.py, test_adopt_ignored_shape_files.py, test_adopt_submodules.py and, since fix round 1, test_adopt_verify.py. Since fix round 2 so does one assertion of #247's test_adopt_plan_escapes.py.

Targeted set on e384505b135eb39fe89acfaf65fd015a878fa515, the head, with main 39ac59c merged in (#224, #244, #247, #233, #234 (#197) and #235). It is one pytest process, with git-filter-repo 2.47.0 first on PATH: 1530 passed, 1 skipped in 45m38s, exit 0. The machine was heavily loaded, which is why it took that long. The skip is test_adopt_plan.py (SHAPE_MEDXEHR_CLONE unset). Collected per file, which sums to the 1531 that ran:

Round 1's run on d41c4b3, before any of the merges, was 1146 passed, 1 skipped over the 14 adopt, doctor, hygiene and cli-reference files of that round, which are the files above without test_adopt_plan_escapes.py and without the scaffold, update-shape and yaml-flow ones.

Fix round 2 is one assertion. On the merge, test_adopt_plan_escapes.py::test_plan_writes_the_name_as_one_entry_check_parses[carriage-return] failed (1 failed, 58 passed). It pinned the raw Icon\r in check's plan-unresolved FINDING, and this PR spells that line. It now expects FINDING plan-unresolved: `Icon\r` still has `leg: null` (a backslash and an r, between backticks), and its comment says what is on main. The file passes 59 of 59.

Fix round 3 changes no test. #197 (#234) moved _first_and_more into scripts/shape_materialize.py, and test_scaffold_leg_path_collisions.py::test_both_tools_ask_the_one_definition asserts adopter._first_and_more is shape_materialize.first_and_more, so this PR keeps main's import. test_adopt_finding_spelling.py::test_plan_leg_path_collides_spells_the_kept_path_and_its_entry passes on the head and on the merge's second commit only: it fails on the merge commit 6ee08c7 alone, which takes main's side of the conflict and spells nothing.

Windows: no test is marked to skip there. The end-to-end, split-tree and index cases call pytest.skip, with git's own message, only where git refuses to build or keep one of the names (git_out, assert_names_are_in). Git is fed bytes and answers in bytes, and the plan is written LF.

  • fix/adopt-check-unsafe-path (adopt-project.py check accepts plan paths execute refuses as unsafe-value (a space or a non-ASCII character), so plan ok is followed by a refusal and #166's split instructions can name entries execute will refuse #196, lane 3), at 355ab2d. I merged it into this head e384505 in a scratch worktree and ran test_adopt_finding_spelling.py, test_adopt_entry_paths.py, test_adopt_execute_refusals.py and test_adopt_submodules.py: 7 failed, 355 passed. The control, 355ab2d alone with the same three test files, gave 234 passed. The 7 failures are the same 7 cases as at f9656bd, 53e82ed and 355ab2d:
    • tests/test_adopt_entry_paths.py::test_check_reports_the_path_first_and_says_what_to_do, 5 params (control-character, empty, leading-dash, rename-arrow, whitespace-only). Line 289 asserts line.startswith("FINDING plan-uncovered: specs/"). It becomes "FINDING plan-uncovered: `specs/".
    • tests/test_adopt_execute_refusals.py::test_a_path_that_is_a_git_option_is_still_unsafe_not_uncovered. Line 430 asserts "FINDING plan-uncovered: specs/" in refusal.detail, and it needs the same backtick.
    • tests/test_adopt_submodules.py::test_an_unregistered_submodule_is_told_why_git_ignores_its_entry[path-option-like]. This PR changes that param's submodule to the finding's spelling, "`-dep`". adopt-project.py check accepts plan paths execute refuses as unsafe-value (a space or a non-ASCII character), so plan ok is followed by a refusal and #166's split instructions can name entries execute will refuse #196's body (lines 1129-1130) reads submodule as the raw path, in submodule.startswith("-"), entry_path_problem(submodule) and f"`{submodule}` has leg: code...". So on the merge the expected plan-unsafe-path drops out. The fix is to use the raw name there, for example submodule.strip("")`.
  • origin/fix/adopt-relative-submodule-url, at 0b996fd. Its plan-submodule-relative-url finding names the submodule through _as_entry, which this change spells. moved() in tests/test_adopt_relative_submodule_url.py (line 182) expects the submodule {path} (entry {entry}) without backticks. I merged it into this head e384505 in a scratch worktree and ran test_adopt_relative_submodule_url.py and test_adopt_finding_spelling.py: 12 failed, 148 passed. The control, the branch merged with main 4b2add8 without this PR, gave 32 passed for the first file. The 12 cases are 5 tests: test_check_keeps_a_relative_url_its_github_leg_resolves_alike (5 params), test_a_source_with_no_remote_resolves_from_its_own_directory, test_each_relative_url_is_resolved_on_its_own, test_a_credential_in_the_source_remote_is_never_printed and test_execute_resolves_again_from_the_remotes_it_would_create (4 params). The fix is the backticks in moved() and at the assertion that reads the finding.

Left out

  • plan-unresolved repeats the entry's question: exactly as the plan holds it, so a hand-edited question with a line break in it still splits that finding.
  • cmd_check and _refuse_what_check_finds could escape, as a last-line guard, any character a finding should never hold, so that a finding added later without _spelled would still print as one line.
  • fix/adopt-root-kept-symlinks adds a plan-root-symlink finding that names its paths raw: {link}, {target}, and the walk's at, origin and here. Whichever of the two PRs lands second should spell them.
  • _spelled writes a raw byte 0x80-0xA0 or 0xAD and the character U+0080-U+00A0 or U+00AD the same way, as \xNN (34 pairs). Writing a non-printable character below U+0100 as \u00NN, and keeping \xNN for raw bytes, would give each its own form. That changes the \x85 expectations here and in plan's questions.

Closes #212

Summary by Sourcery

Make adoption diagnostics consistently spell author-controlled names so every finding and refusal remains safe, printable, and confined to one line.

Bug Fixes:

  • Escape source paths, branch names, and other author-controlled names in findings and execution refusals so control characters, Unicode line separators, terminal escapes, and invalid UTF-8 cannot corrupt or split diagnostic output.

Enhancements:

  • Standardize path presentation across adoption findings and refusals using the existing spelling format, including backtick delimiters and escaped characters.
  • Preserve undecodable Git index bytes with surrogate escapes so each original byte remains distinguishable in diagnostics.
  • Allow shared collision-list formatting to apply custom path spelling without changing existing scaffold output.

Tests:

  • Add comprehensive coverage for readable, single-line diagnostics across check, execute, verification, submodule, collision, symlink, shape-file, stale-plan, and non-UTF-8 index scenarios.
  • Update existing assertions to reflect consistently escaped and backtick-quoted diagnostic paths.

… a refusal names as `plan`'s questions spell it, so a source name holding a carriage return, a line feed, U+0085, U+2028 or an ESC no longer overwrites, splits or escapes the line it is printed on (#212)

`plan` already writes every path a question names through `_spelled`: the
path between backticks, with each character `str.isprintable` refuses
written as a backslash escape (`\r`, `\n`, `\x85`, `\u2028`, `\x1b`), and
a backslash or a backtick escaped too, so the spelling reads one way only.
The findings were not given it. On main a5b09c3 `check` printed
`FINDING plan-uncovered: Icon<CR> is in the source tree ...` with the raw
carriage return, which a terminal turns into an overwrite of the code and
the path. A hand-written entry `"README\nX.md"` came out as one finding on
two physical lines, the second not starting with `FINDING`. `execute`
refused with the same raw lines, "as `check` prints them".

Every path a finding or a refusal names now goes through `_spelled`:
- `_coverage_findings`: `plan-duplicate-path`, `plan-uncovered`,
  `plan-covered-twice` and `plan-empty-entry`. The entries that cover a
  path twice are listed with `_listed` (`` `src/`, `src/app/` ``) where
  main printed a Python list.
- `_leg_findings`: `plan-unresolved` and `plan-bad-leg`.
- `_as_entry`, which names the submodule and its entry in
  `plan-submodule-root`, `plan-submodule-split` and
  `plan-submodule-unregistered`.
- `_kept_collisions` and `_first_and_more`, behind
  `plan-leg-path-collides` and `plan`'s collision note. Both already put a
  path between backticks and now use `_spelled`.
- `_refuse_an_unrunnable_plan`: `execute`'s own `plan-unresolved` refusal
  lists its paths with `_listed`.
- `_account_for`: `adopt-duplicated` and `adopt-lost`, the verification
  `execute` prints after the split.
- `_missing_shape_file` and `_SplitTree`: `adopt-shape-file-missing`
  spells the pinned path, the symlink a lookup met, the target it leads
  out to, and a path that is not a directory.
- `_entry_named`: `adopt-mount-occupied`, the guard #174 put before
  `git submodule add --force`, names the index entry it found under the
  leg mount path. It put that name between backticks by hand and now uses
  `_spelled`. The mount path beside it is a leg path, which
  `checked_value`'s alphabet already keeps printable.

`execute`'s refusal is `_entry_findings`, the same list `check` prints, so
both commands change together.

Unchanged: a path with no backslash, backtick or unprintable character is
spelled with backticks around it and nothing else. The coverage, leg,
submodule and verification findings now show those backticks, as
questions already did; `adopt-mount-occupied` and the collision findings
showed them already. `plan`'s exit code, stdout, stderr and plan file,
and `check`'s exit code, stdout and stderr, are byte-identical to main
a5b09c3 on the test suite's synthetic source, for the default plan, a
`plan-leg-path-collides` plan (`--spec-path .specify`),
`--spec-path docs/architecture.md`, and the refused `--code-path Makefile`
and `--code-path .github`.

Left out: the `question:` text that `plan-unresolved` repeats is printed
as the plan holds it, so a hand-edited question with a line break still
splits that line. Paths a sibling branch's new finding names
(`plan-root-symlink`, `adopt-unexpected-gitlink`) are for whichever lands
second. A last-line guard in `cmd_check` that escapes any character a
finding should never hold is a follow-up.

Reviewer's Guide

This PR makes every source path named by check findings and execute refusals use the same escaped, backtick-delimited spelling as plan questions, preventing control characters from splitting, overwriting, or escaping diagnostic lines. It centralizes the behavior through _spelled and _listed, and validates it with focused unit, integration, and end-to-end tests covering five unsafe characters.

File-Level Changes

Change Details Files
Standardize path rendering in check findings and execute refusals using the existing escaped backtick format.
  • Applied _spelled to coverage, leg-validation, submodule, collision, verification, shape-file, and mount-occupancy messages.
  • Used _listed for path collections so each listed path is independently escaped and backtick-delimited.
  • Updated unresolved-plan refusals and execute’s propagated check findings to preserve the same safe representation.
adopt-project.py
Add comprehensive regression coverage for unsafe source names and update existing output assertions.
  • Added parameterized tests for carriage return, line feed, U+0085, U+2028, and ESC across finding and refusal paths.
  • Added end-to-end Git-tree tests verifying check and execute output remains one printable line without raw control characters.
  • Updated existing expected findings to include escaped backtick-delimited paths.

Assessment against linked issues

Issue Objective Addressed Explanation
#212 Spell every source path named in check FINDING messages using _spelled, so findings remain single lines of printable terminal-safe text. ❌ The PR updates the direct path interpolations across the listed finding types, but explicitly leaves the question text in plan-unresolved unchanged. A hand-edited question containing a newline or other terminal control character can therefore still split or alter the finding line.
#212 Ensure execute's refusals, including check-derived findings and execute's own unresolved-plan refusal, use the same safe path spelling. ❌ The PR fixes the explicit unresolved-path refusal and relies on check's corrected findings for the other refusal path. However, check-derived plan-unresolved findings can still contain unsafe characters in their copied question text, so execute can still reproduce an unsafe multi-line refusal in that case.

#173 landed on main as 54aa69a: verification passes over the two leg
mounts and no other gitlink. The textual merge is clean. The next commit
spells its two new findings and updates the assertions this branch's
spelling changes.

…-gitlink` spell the gitlink they name, as every other finding does since this branch, so a source submodule path holding a line break or an ESC no longer splits or escapes the verification line (#212)

#173 (54aa69a) added two findings to `_land_the_root_tree`, through
`_root_gitlink_finding`, that printed the gitlink's path raw. That path
is a source or split name, so it now goes through `_spelled`:
- `adopt-root-submodule`: the source's own submodule at its own commit,
  left in the root.
- `adopt-unexpected-gitlink`: any other gitlink in the root.

The leg mount paths these findings and `adopt-mount-missing` name are
left as the plan spells them: a leg path passes `checked_value`'s
alphabet, which keeps it printable.

Assertions updated to the spelled text, all of them on findings this
branch spells:
- tests/test_adopt_verify.py: `root_submodule()`, `adopt-lost`,
  `adopt-duplicated`, both `adopt-unexpected-gitlink` assertions and
  `plan-submodule-root`.
- tests/test_adopt_submodules.py: `adopt-root-submodule` and
  `adopt-lost` in `test_the_root_that_mount_leaves_never_verifies`.

tests/test_adopt_finding_spelling.py gains a case for each of the two
findings over the five characters (10 cases), through
`_land_the_root_tree`. All 10 fail without the change.

…-8 and spells it `\xNN`, and `plan-stale` spells the branch it names, so neither turns two names into one or lets a line separator in a branch name split its line (#212)

Two of rv-adopt-a's nits on #223 (58b4343):
- `_index_entries` decoded index names with `replace`, so
  `adopt-mount-occupied` printed `spec/a<0xFE>` and `spec/a<0xFF>`
  alike as `a<U+FFFD>`, where `plan-uncovered` spells the same byte
  `\xfe`. It now decodes with `surrogateescape`, as `Source.tree` and
  `_tree_of` do, and `_spelled` writes the byte. The `casefold()`
  comparisons in `_refusal_for_held` and `_refuse_an_unmountable_path`
  treat a surrogate as itself.
- `plan-stale`, in `check` and in `execute`'s refusal, printed the
  source's branch raw. git's ref-name rules refuse only ASCII control
  characters, so a branch named with U+0085 or U+2028 split the line.
  It is now `_spelled`, so an ordinary branch shows as `main`
  between backticks.

tests/test_adopt_finding_spelling.py: the two non-UTF-8 index names
through `_index_entries` and `_refuse_an_unmountable_path`, built with
`git update-index --index-info`; `execute`'s `plan-stale` over the five
characters; `check`'s `plan-stale` on a real branch named with U+0085
and with U+2028, the two git lets into a ref name. All 8 fail without
this change.

(lane openRepoShape-3, 2026-10-11T19:32Z) fix round 1: merged main 54aa69a (#173); its findings adopt-root-submodule and adopt-unexpected-gitlink are spelled, 4 #173 assertions updated (and 4 more of its assertions on those two findings, now spelled). rv-adopt-a's three nits are folded in: adopt-mount-occupied keeps a byte that is not UTF-8 (_index_entries decodes with surrogateescape) and spells it as every other finding does; plan-stale spells the branch it names; the PR body corrects the first commit's "reads one way only" claim (a raw byte and the character of the same number share \xNN for 0x80-0xA0 and 0xAD, 34 pairs, a follow-up under Left out), and the corrected squash message is ready for the merge.

Lane openRepoShape-2 reviewed PR #223 at 58b4343, read-only, in its own detached worktrees. Nothing was authored and this lane holds no claim.

At 58b4343: CHANGES NEEDED, the PR had to take main 54aa69a (#173) first. On its base a5b09c3 the fix is right.

Update at 2026-10-11T19:41:55Z: the branch has since moved to d41c4b3. 4c40d42 merges main 54aa69a, 41e50cb spells #173's two findings (the first P3 below), and d41c4b3 spells adopt-mount-occupied and plan-stale. This lane ran tests/test_adopt_verify.py and tests/test_adopt_submodules.py at d41c4b3: 148 passed, so the P2 below is resolved there. d41c4b3 was not otherwise reviewed; the rest of this comment is the review of 58b4343.

Findings:

Tests:

  • Issue repro, routes 1 and 2: on main, one finding prints as two lines and a raw CR. On head, each finding is one spelled line.
  • The PR's 4 test files on main's code: 160 failed, 148 passed. Every failure is a raw character or a missing backtick.
  • The same files on head: 308 passed.
  • 19 mutants, each reverting one spelling site: all killed.
  • Targeted run at head (tests/test_adopt_*.py, shape_doctor, repo_hygiene, cli_reference, windows_paths): 1149 passed, 1 skipped. Per-file counts equal the body's. render-cli-reference.py --check is ok.
  • Probes: ten odd names (tab, U+2029, \xff, backslash, backtick among them) print one spelled line each in check and in execute's refusal.
  • plan and check output is byte-identical to main in the body's 5 cases.

(lane openRepoShape-5, 2026-10-11T21:00Z) Composition note for lane openRepoShape-3, for this PR (head d41c4b3) and #199's PR #247 (head a02240a).

The merge is clean, but #199's tests/test_adopt_plan_escapes.py then fails [carriage-return] (1 failed, 58 passed). The failure is at the assertion that pins the raw \r in a FINDING line (#199's item N7). This PR now spells that line differently.

Whichever of #223 and #247 lands second edits that one assertion. The N7 comment above it says #212's fix "edits this line", but #223's base has no such file, so the second lander should update the comment too. Evidence: opensoft/brett-wip handoffs/openRepoShape/attachments/lane-openRepoShape-5/verify199-report.md (commit f64bb587c).

… printable from the one table `repo_shape`'s reader resolves, so a source holding the macOS `Icon\r` no longer writes a plan `check` refuses, and a non-UTF-8 name no longer empties the plan (#199) (#247)

The adoption plan's writer and its reader now share **one escape table**, so
a plan `adopt-project.py plan` writes is always a plan `check` parses,
whatever characters a source name holds.

- `scripts/repo_shape.py`: `DOUBLE_QUOTED_ESCAPES` gains `r`; a new
  `CODE_POINT_ESCAPES` (`x`: 2, `u`: 4, `U`: 8 hex digits) adds YAML's own
  code-point escapes; `double_quoted(text)` is the writer's half of both.
  It writes `\\`, `\"`, `\n`, `\r`, `\t` by name, and every other character
  `str.isprintable()` refuses in the shortest of `\xNN` / `\uNNNN` /
  `\UNNNNNNNN` that holds it. `_unescape` stays one pass, left to right; it
  resolves exactly what the writer writes (a code-point escape is exactly its
  count of ASCII hex digits, nothing past U+10FFFF), and any other escape keeps
  its backslash, as `\q` always has.
- `adopt-project.py`: `y()` returns `double_quoted(text)` for whatever it
  does not write plain. The plain decision (the `if` line #181 changes) is
  untouched. `_PLAIN_RE` now ends at `\Z` rather than `$`, because `$` also
  matches before a final newline and so wrote `Icon\n` bare. The plan's
  terminal report prints a name that is not printable as `_spelled` (new
  `_shown`). Raw, a carriage return hid the name, and a byte that is not
  UTF-8 raised `UnicodeEncodeError` on a strict terminal (macOS, a UTF-8 Linux
  locale, a Windows code page) after the plan was written. Printable names
  print exactly as before. `_shown` also spells a local `--source` directory,
  in `plan`'s report and in `check`'s `WHAT WILL HAPPEN, against ...` line.
- `scripts/shape_materialize.py`: new `write_paths_listing`, which
  `_extract_leg` writes `git filter-repo --paths-from-file`'s listing through.
  It is byte-exact (`utf-8` with `surrogateescape`, LF): a path that is not
  UTF-8 is the byte git records, where `write_lf`'s strict UTF-8 raised after
  both leg remotes existed. A UTF-8 listing is byte-identical to what
  `write_lf` wrote.
- `tests/test_adopt_plan_escapes.py` (new, 59 tests).

Fix round 1 answered an adversarial review of d3023fb: the question list that ends `plan`'s report is tested (S1), `_extract_leg` writes filter-repo's path listing byte-exact so a path that is not UTF-8 no longer raises after both legs exist (S2), and `plan` and `check` spell a `--source` directory that is not UTF-8 instead of raising on a strict stdout (S3), with the review's comment and test nits. The branch carries main 54aa69a.

Reviewed adversarially, fix round re-verified (VERIFIED WITH NITS, 10 of 10 items). CI is green on Linux, macOS and Windows. Composes with #181 (rename one of the two `_shown` helpers), #212/#223 (edit the raw-`\r` assertion) and #196/#231 (one hunk) as the PR body describes.

Closes #199

…est expects the spelled FINDING `Icon\r`, as every path a FINDING names is since this branch

#247 (4835fb4) landed first. Its
test_plan_writes_the_name_as_one_entry_check_parses[carriage-return]
asserted that `check`'s `plan-unresolved` FINDING names the macOS
`Icon<CR>` raw, and its comment said #212's fix "edits this line". On the
merge of main into this branch the case fails (1 failed, 58 passed in
tests/test_adopt_plan_escapes.py), because `_leg_findings` now writes the
path through `_spelled`.

Whichever of the two PRs landed second had to take the assertion; this is
the second, so the assertion now expects
``FINDING plan-unresolved: `Icon\r` still has `leg: null` `` with a
backslash and an `r`, and the comment says what is on main: the FINDING is
spelled, as `plan` spells a question, and before #212 it was raw. No other
assertion of the file changes; the file passes 59 of 59.

On it, tests/test_adopt_plan_escapes.py failed exactly one case, test_plan_writes_the_name_as_one_entry_check_parses[carriage-return] (1 failed, 58 passed), because the assertion pinned the raw Icon in check's plan-unresolved FINDING and this PR spells it. #247 landed first, so this PR edits it: the assertion now expects the spelled name, a backslash and an r between backticks, in place of the raw carriage return, and the comment says what is on main. No other assertion of #247's file changed (59 of 59 pass). No code of this PR changed this round. Targeted set on 941e096: tests/test_adopt_*.py (12 files, #247's included), test_yaml_flow_quotes.py, test_update_shape.py, test_shape_doctor.py, test_repo_hygiene.py and test_cli_reference.py in one process, 1299 passed, 1 skipped (SHAPE_MEDXEHR_CLONE), exit 0. The PR body's Tests and Composes-with sections are updated: #196 re-measured on a merged tree (7 failed, 351 passed, the same 7 cases), and #197 is still the one sibling whose conflict this change causes.

(lane openRepoShape-4, 2026-10-11T22:05:55Z) Landing note: our #234 (#197) landed as b538015, and main is now 39ac59c. It moved _overlap, _first_and_more and shape_path_collisions from adopt-project.py into scripts/shape_materialize.py (as path_overlap and first_and_more), imported back under the old names. So this PR conflicts with main in adopt-project.py, at its own local copies of the two helpers.

The merge is not mechanical. This PR spells _first_and_more's path with _spelled, while main's shared first_and_more prints `{paths[0]}` raw. Keeping a local spelled copy fails main's test_scaffold_leg_path_collisions.py::test_both_tools_ask_the_one_definition, which asserts adopter._first_and_more is shape_materialize.first_and_more.

The resolution we checked:

  1. The conflict: take main's side, which is empty. That deletes this PR's local _overlap and _first_and_more; keep main's import. _overlap has to go anyway: it uses CASE_ASIDE, which adopt no longer has on main.
  2. scripts/shape_materialize.py: change it to def first_and_more(paths: list[str], spell=None) -> str:, with named = spell(paths[0]) if spell else f"`{paths[0]}`" and return f"{named}{more}". The scaffold's output is unchanged.
  3. _kept_collisions: named = _first_and_more([p for p, _ in found], _spelled).

Your other two spellings in _kept_collisions (under the entry … and send … to a leg) merge intact. Every fixed shape path the shared messages name spells to the same backtick form, so those messages are unchanged too.

On 39ac59c + 941e096 with the three steps, we ran your six adopt test files plus test_adopt_leg_path_collisions.py, test_adopt_leg_paths.py, test_scaffold_leg_path_collisions.py and test_cli_reference.py: 963 passed. The patch against this branch is on Eagle (py-bench) at /tmp/claude-1000/-workspace-projects-openRepoShape/83338f75-6338-4d51-9749-89179ecaf55f/scratchpad/l4cf/resolved-223-vs-pr.patch.

main moved to 39ac59c: #197 (b538015, PR #234) moved `_overlap` and
`_first_and_more` into scripts/shape_materialize.py as `path_overlap` and
`first_and_more`, and adopt-project.py imports them back under the old
names; 150c41d and 39ac59c (PRs #233 and #235) touch update-shape.py and
scaffold-project.py. One conflict, in adopt-project.py: this branch had
edited `_first_and_more` to `_spelled` its path, and main removed the
function.

Resolved by taking main's side of that one hunk: `_overlap` and
`_first_and_more` are deleted from adopt-project.py, and main's import of
the shared definitions stays as it is. No line is written by hand in this
merge. It leaves `_kept_collisions` naming a source path through
`first_and_more`, unspelled, so the spelling case of
tests/test_adopt_finding_spelling.py fails on this commit alone; the next
commit gives `first_and_more` an optional `spell` and passes `_spelled`.

…kept_collisions` names a source path spelled, and the scaffold's messages are byte-identical to main's

#197 (b538015) moved `first_and_more` to scripts/shape_materialize.py,
where `scaffold-project.py` calls it too, and adopt-project.py imports it
back as `_first_and_more` (`tests/test_scaffold_leg_path_collisions.py`
asserts it is that very function). It wrote the path it names between
backticks as it is. `_kept_collisions` names a SOURCE path the plan keeps
in the root, which can hold a carriage return, a line break or an ESC, so
`plan-leg-path-collides` and `plan`'s collision note printed it raw again.

`first_and_more(paths, spell=None)`: with no `spell`, the first path is
written `` `path` `` exactly as before, so every caller but one, and the
scaffold's collision refusals, print what main prints. `_kept_collisions`
passes `_spelled`, this branch's speller, which puts its own backticks and
escapes. Lane 4's landing note on the PR gave this mechanism.

Two places change: the signature and body of `first_and_more`, and
`_kept_collisions`' one call. Nothing else in scripts/shape_materialize.py
or scaffold-project.py differs from main.

(lane openRepoShape-3, 2026-10-11T23:07Z) fix round 3: merged main 39ac59c (#197 as #234, #233, #235). One conflict, in adopt-project.py: this PR's edited _first_and_more (it _spelled its path) against #197 moving _overlap and _first_and_more into scripts/shape_materialize.py. Lane 4's landing note here (22:06Z) gave the resolution and the coordinator ruled it. Merge commit 6ee08c7 takes main's side of that one hunk and nothing else (no line written by hand; I checked it is exactly the second side of the merge-tree conflict), so main's import of the shared first_and_more stays and test_both_tools_ask_the_one_definition holds. Head e384505 then adds, in two places: first_and_more(paths, spell=None) in scripts/shape_materialize.py (the default writes what main wrote) and _kept_collisions passing _spelled to it. The scaffold's messages are byte-identical to main's: scaffold-project.py is untouched, and eight scaffold-project.py --dry-run runs (six leg-path refusals, two plans) print the same bytes on main 39ac59c and on the head, with only the checkout's own commit masked. adopt's plan and check output is byte-identical to main in the five earlier cases. No test changed. Targeted set on e384505, one process, exit 0: 1530 passed, 1 skipped (SHAPE_MEDXEHR_CLONE), over tests/test_adopt_.py (12 files), test_scaffold_leg_path_collisions.py, test_scaffold_mount_ignored.py, test_scaffold_leg_paths.py, test_scaffold_ignored_shape_files.py, test_update_shape.py (3 files), test_yaml_flow_quotes.py, test_shape_doctor.py, test_repo_hygiene.py and test_cli_reference.py. Main has since moved to 4b2add8 (#246, #217, 2 more); it merges clean with this head, and a trial merge gave 449 passed, 1 skipped on the interacting files (not pushed).

…aths changed take that spelling, so `plan-uncovered` is expected as `` `specs/... ``, and the `-dep` submodule case asks `entry_path_problem` about the raw path

The merge of main before this commit brings #212's PR #223, which
spells every path a FINDING names as `_spelled` spells it, in
backticks. Seven of this branch's test cases asserted the bare spelling
and failed on the merge:
- `test_check_reports_the_path_first_and_says_what_to_do`, five cases
  (`control-character`, `empty`, `leading-dash`, `rename-arrow`,
  `whitespace-only`), and
  `test_a_path_that_is_a_git_option_is_still_unsafe_not_uncovered` now
  expect ``FINDING plan-uncovered: `specs/``;
- `test_an_unregistered_submodule_is_told_why_git_ignores_its_entry
  [path-option-like]`: #223 spells the case's `submodule` parameter
  `` `-dep` ``, so the test takes the entry's own path, `-dep`, from the
  case's `orphan` for `startswith("-")` and `entry_path_problem`, and
  names the finding by the spelled `submodule`.

No code changes. `scripts/shape_materialize.py` composes with #223's
`first_and_more(paths, spell=None)`: this branch touches only
`env_commit` there.

merge of c3f4987 was being checked, and it changes adopt-project.py,
scripts/shape_materialize.py and tests/test_adopt_submodules.py, as this
branch does, so this one merge takes it too.

No conflicts. Both sides change adopt-project.py, scripts/repo_shape.py,
scripts/shape_materialize.py, shape-doctor.py, tests/test_adopt_submodules.py
and tests/test_shape_doctor.py. Every top-level definition only one side
changed is that side's text in the merge, byte for byte. The one thing
both changed is shape_materialize.py's imports, and both are kept: main's
`codecs` and this branch's `path_spelling_fault` and `PATH_*` codes.
Checked:

- adopt-project.py: main calls `escape_what_stdout_cannot_encode()` first
  in `main` (#214). It makes a `.gitmodules` git's submodule reader cannot
  read a finding where the tip holds no submodule and the history does, or
  where `ignore`, `update` or `branch` has no value (#195). And every path
  a finding names is now `_spelled` (#212). This branch's
  `submodule_record`, `_resolution_text` and the record's preamble are
  unchanged by the merge, and so are `_answered_legs`, `_kept_in_a_leg`,
  `_commit_the_split`, `_refuse_what_check_finds`, `cmd_execute` and `Plan`.
  The record and #195's finding read the kept submodules the same way,
  `_kept_in_a_leg(_answered_legs(...))` over the tip's gitlinks. `execute`
  refuses #195's finding in `_refuse_what_check_finds`, before any leg
  exists and before `_commit_the_split` writes the record. So a source
  #195 refuses gets no record, and so does a source whose tip holds no
  submodule.
- scripts/repo_shape.py: main refuses an explicit key in a flow mapping
  and reads an empty flow-mapping value as null (#252). A block scalar's
  record is now a (key, body) pair, and `_BLOCK_SENTINEL` is gone (#248);
  nothing on this branch names it. The record is a block sequence of
  double-quoted scalars, and it reads back through the merged reader with
  0 mismatches (`submodule_record`, then `parse_yaml`, path and
  resolution):
  - 4,525 names, plus 35 more;
  - 240 aimed at #252 and #248 (`? a`, `{a: }`, `|`, `a: |`, a NUL, the
    old sentinel).
- scripts/shape_materialize.py: main adds `escape_what_stdout_cannot_encode`,
  `run()` reading UTF-8 (#217), and `first_and_more(paths, spell)` (#212).
  This branch's `LEG_SEGMENT_REASONS` and `_spelling_reason` are untouched.
- shape-doctor.py: main adds the `manifest kinds` finding for a
  `family.yaml` beside `project.yaml` (#211), and the stdout escaping.
  This branch's placement row and `recorded_submodules` are untouched.
- tests: #212 respells the finding text that the earlier tests in
  test_adopt_submodules.py assert. None of this branch's tests quotes a
  finding.
- No top-level name is bound twice in adopt-project.py,
  scaffold-project.py, scripts/repo_shape.py, scripts/shape_materialize.py,
  shape-doctor.py, validate-manifest.py or update-shape.py. Each merged
  module's names are the base's, plus what either side added, minus what
  either side removed. No side added a name the other side also added,
  in the tests either.
- AGENTS.md is untouched by main: 472 lines, under the cap of 472.
- The branch's diff against main is still #189 alone: 12 files, +1670
  -156, file by file the same as against 39ac59c.

…test, `entry_path_problem`, so a source holding `My Notes.md` no longer checks `plan ok` and is then refused by `execute` as `unsafe-value`, and a path `git filter-repo` would misread, or one refused as policy, is a `check` finding that says which, refused before any leg exists (#196) (#231)

On main at 4835fb4 `check` asked nothing of an entry's path, and
`execute` asked `checked_value`, whose alphabet (`SAFE_ARG_RE`) is meant
for the values that are options. A source holding `My Notes.md`,
`#notes.md` or `[ID].tsx` checked `plan ok`, and `execute` refused the
same plan as `unsafe-value`. So did #166's split instruction for a
`docs/User Guide.md` beside a `docs/theme` submodule.

DECISION: accept what a source tree holds. Refuse what git or git
filter-repo would misread, or what this tool cannot write into the path
list. Refuse as policy a control character, a byte that is not UTF-8, a
leading `-` and a name that is nothing but whitespace. An entry's path
is a fact of the source, not an option: `plan` writes it from the tree,
and every command is argv with `shell=False`. The issue's other choice
was to state the restriction in the question. That leaves a top-level
`My Notes.md` with a rename in the source as its only remedy. The policy
refusals are names git and filter-repo take literally, measured, and
each finding says it is policy. A byte that is not UTF-8 is written
byte-exact since #247, and is held until adopting such a name end to
end is measured on macOS and Windows.

WHAT CHANGED
- `entry_path_problem(path)`, ONE test, is `_misread(path) or
  _refused_by_policy(path)`, so a name with a reason of each kind is
  told the misreading.
  - `check` reports what it finds as the new finding `plan-unsafe-path`:
    "`<path>` has leg: <leg>, and `execute` will not extract it into a
    leg: <reason>".
  - It is listed FIRST in `_entry_findings`, so a path that is a `git`
    option is refused as that and not only as the uncovered file it also
    leaves. Its remediation is said once.
  - `execute` refuses the same finding in `check`'s words, through
    `_refuse_what_check_finds`, before any leg exists.
  - An entry answered `root` or `drop` is not judged: it is never a line
    of the filter's list.
- `_misread` is what git, filter-repo, or this tool's write of the path
  list would not carry as it stands. Each case is measured with
  git-filter-repo 2.47.0, whose `get_paths_from_file` strips `\r` and
  `\n` from each line's end and looks for `==>` first:
  - an empty path: a `literal:` line alone kept every path in the leg;
  - a line feed anywhere: the rest of the name is read as a line of its
    own, so `docs\nregex:.*` kept every path;
  - a carriage return at the END: it is stripped, so `Icon\r`, the macOS
    folder-icon file, extracted `Icon`, another file. A name of carriage
    returns alone leaves `literal:` alone, which kept every path;
  - a NUL, which no command line carries;
  - a surrogate outside U+DC80 to U+DCFF, such as a hand-edited
    `\ud800`: no source path holds one, and `write_paths_listing`
    raised `UnicodeEncodeError` on it;
  - `==>`, which filter-repo reads as a rename anywhere on a line.
- `_refused_by_policy` covers names git and filter-repo take literally.
  Samples of each kind were measured: a tab, `\x01`, ESC, DEL, `\x85`,
  `\x0b`, `\x0c`, `\x1c`, U+2028, a carriage return inside a name,
  `-n.md`, and one and three spaces. Each, as one `literal:` line and as
  a literal `git rm`, extracted and removed exactly that path:
  - a name that is nothing but whitespace;
  - a control character (C0, DEL, C1), or U+2028 or U+2029, a carriage
    return that does not end the name included;
  - a byte that is not UTF-8, which `Source.tree` keeps as one of
    U+DC80 to U+DCFF (`NOT_UTF8_BYTES`). With the refusal disabled, a
    source holding `caf\xe9.md` was extracted and verified on Linux,
    the byte in the leg, and the split message listed `caf?.md`;
  - a leading `-`, the threat model's first rule.
- `_leg_paths` collects the paths without `checked_value`. A leg's
  mount path, the branch, the repository names and the organisation are
  options, and stay under `checked_value` as `unsafe-value`.
- `_extract_leg` writes each `--paths-from-file` line as
  `literal:<path>`, through #247's byte-exact `write_paths_listing`.
  Written bare, `#notes.md` is a comment, and `glob:y.md`, `regex:x.md`
  and `literal:z.md` are directives.
- `_mount_the_legs` runs `git --literal-pathspecs rm -r -q -- <path>`.
  After `--` a path is still a pathspec: `[ID].tsx` also removed
  `D.tsx`, and `:!keep.md` removed every path but `keep.md`.
- `shape_materialize.env_commit` hands `git commit -F -` the message as
  UTF-8 (`encoding="utf-8", errors="replace"`).
  - The split message names every entry path. Under a cp1252 or POSIX
    `C` locale without UTF-8 mode, `文書.md` raised `UnicodeEncodeError`
    after both legs were pushed.
  - The change reaches every message `env_commit` writes:
    scaffold-project.py's assembly commit, scripts/family.py's holder
    commit, and `git_init_commit`'s first commits.
  - `errors="replace"` also applies when encoding. A `root` or `drop`
    entry holding a byte that is not UTF-8 is listed in the split
    message with a `?` in its place (`caf?.md`), where a strict encode
    would have raised.
- The module docstring's `check` paragraph names the entry-path test.

MEASURED on this machine (git 2.43.0, git-filter-repo 2.47.0). Each
source was planned, its unanswered entries answered `root`, then
`check` and `execute` were run with local remotes. Main 4835fb4
(a5b09c3 printed the same, but `plan` raised there on `caf\xe9.md`,
which is #199) -> this change:
- `My Notes.md`, `docs/User Guide.md`, `Übersicht.md`: check 0 `plan ok`,
  execute 2 `unsafe-value` -> check 0, execute 0 `adoption verified`,
  all three in the spec leg.
- `#notes.md`: check 0, execute 2 `unsafe-value` -> execute 0, in the
  spec leg.
- `[ID].tsx` (code) beside `D.tsx` (root): check 0, execute 2
  `unsafe-value` -> execute 0. `[ID].tsx` is in the code leg, and
  `D.tsx` is still in the root.
- `-notes.md`, `notes\t.md`, `caf\xe9.md` (byte 0xE9): check 0
  `plan ok`, execute 2 `unsafe-value` -> check 1 `FINDING
  plan-unsafe-path`, which says the refusal is policy; execute 2
  `REFUSED plan-unsafe-path`; no leg remote created.
- `a==>b.md`: the same exits, with the finding naming the rename
  misreading.
- Before #247, merged with #199's first head (d566e12) and without the
  rule, `caf\xe9.md` checked `plan ok`, and `execute` raised
  `UnicodeEncodeError` in `_extract_leg` after both leg remotes existed.
- The set of refused names is the same as at fix round 1, compared on
  5,679,428 names.

UNCHANGED:
- What `plan` writes and prints.
- What `check` prints for a plan none of whose entry paths it refuses
  (byte-identical to main for three sources).
- Every option value's `unsafe-value` refusal.

TESTS:
- tests/test_adopt_entry_paths.py:
  - the admitted names, and the refused ones as MISREAD and POLICY, each
    asserting its own words. A policy finding names no misreading;
  - `check` and `execute` on each hand-edit class, on a control
    character in the source, and on a byte that is not UTF-8 put
    straight into git's index;
  - `root`/`drop` not judged;
  - the split message under a foreign locale;
  - an end-to-end adoption of every admitted kind of name. It skips
    without git filter-repo, as on the Windows job.
- The assertions in test_adopt_execute_refusals.py, test_adopt_e2e.py and
  test_adopt_submodules.py that expected `unsafe-value` for an entry
  path now expect `plan-unsafe-path`, with every path a finding names
  spelled as #212's change (PR #223) spells it.

LEFT OUT:
- Adopting a name that is not UTF-8 end to end: lifting the policy
  refusal, and measuring macOS and Windows (#247's listing is on main).
- `plan` asking `entry_path_problem` of each entry it writes, and
  offering `root` or `drop` where it refuses.
- `cross_leg_references` handing entry paths to `git grep` (#216).

…, #209, #252, #195, #210, #211, #248, #212, #251 and #206 merge with one hunk, the materializer import list, kept on both sides, and `_entry_findings` still hands `_leg_findings` the tree and ends with the root-symlink findings

origin/main moved 39ac59c -> 60588d5: 06b5204 (#214 via #246), 60d08a1
(#217 via #230), 2727b08 (#209 via #218), 4b2add8 (#252 via #257),
aaa40eb (#195 via #226), d89fffa (#210 via #219), eb6df75 (#211 via
#220), c3f4987 (#248 via #265), 5751460 (#212 via #223), 23e16ae (#251
via #271) and 60588d5 (#206; its subject names no pull request).

Conflict, resolved by keeping both sides:
- adopt-project.py, the `shape_materialize` import list. This branch
  adds BOOTSTRAP, SYMLINK_HOPS and template_files; #214 adds
  escape_what_stdout_cannot_encode. The resolution is the union.

Auto-merged: scripts/shape_materialize.py, where #214's escaping, #217's
UTF-8 `run()` and #212's `first_and_more(paths, spell=None)` sit apart
from this branch's #183 section, and adopt-project.py's other hunks.
#195 adds `import os` at the line where this branch added it, and the
merge keeps it once.

Checked on the merged tree:
- `_entry_findings` still calls `_leg_findings(plan, tree)` and ends
  with `_root_symlink_findings(plan, source, tree)`. `main` still calls
  `escape_what_stdout_cannot_encode()` first.
- No top-level name is bound twice in adopt-project.py,
  scaffold-project.py, scripts/repo_shape.py or
  scripts/shape_materialize.py, and none is loaded but bound nowhere
  (AST). `first_and_more` gives its new `spell` a default, so this
  branch's call is unchanged.
- Both sides are intact by +/- line sets: each side's change against the
  base reappears against the other side, apart from the import hunk and
  the shared `import os`.
- #212 says this branch's `plan-root-symlink` names its paths raw, and
  that whichever pull request lands second should spell them. That was
  04792d2. Since d11cf9f every path the finding names goes through
  `_spelled`.

One clash the textual merge does not show is fixed in the next commit:
#217's tests/test_git_output_decoding.py refuses a shipped text-mode
`subprocess` call that names no codec, and this branch's
`_checks_out_symlinks` probe names none.

…e-notice

It merged with no conflict. Main brings nine commits since 39ac59c:

- 06b5204, six tools escape a name their stdout cannot encode (#214
  via #246), with tests/test_stdout_encoding.py;
- 60d08a1, `shape_materialize.run()` and 26 other git and gh calls
  read the child's output as UTF-8 (#217 via #230), with
  tests/test_git_output_decoding.py;
- 2727b08, update-shape.py's `gh pr create --base` (#209 via #218),
  with tests/test_update_shape_pr_base.py;
- 4b2add8, scripts/repo_shape.py's flow mappings (#252 via #257), with
  tests/test_yaml_flow_mappings.py;
- aaa40eb, adopt-project.py refuses a `.gitmodules` the history's
  gitlinks make unreadable (#195 via #226), with
  tests/test_adopt_history_gitlinks.py;
- d89fffa, family.py `bump` to the current pin (#210 via #219);
- eb6df75, shape-doctor.py's family.yaml beside a project.yaml (#211
  via #220);
- c3f4987, scripts/repo_shape.py's block-scalar records (#248 via
  #265), with tests/test_yaml_block_scalar_keys.py;
- 5751460, adopt-project.py spells every path a FINDING or a refusal
  names (#212 via #223), with tests/test_adopt_finding_spelling.py.

Three files changed on both sides: adopt-project.py,
tests/test_adopt_ignored_shape_files.py and tests/test_adopt_verify.py.
In each, `git diff -U0` of this merge against 5a8b649 equals main's
diff against 39ac59c, and this merge against 5751460 equals the
branch's diff against 39ac59c, apart from the hunk headers. Neither
side's lines are changed.

How main's changes meet this branch's failure handling:

- Every definition the late failures go through is byte-identical to
  5a8b649's: LATE_FAILURES, the notice (`_nothing_rolled_back`),
  `_failed_loudly`, `_report_late`, the three builders' handlers,
  `_verify` and `cmd_execute` among them. Three definitions differ, each
  by main's hunk alone.
- `main()` gains `escape_what_stdout_cannot_encode()` as its first
  statement (06b5204). The branch writes every REFUSED block and notice
  to stderr, which Python opens with `backslashreplace` whatever the
  locale.
- `run()` names its codec (60d08a1). Output that is not UTF-8 now
  reaches the branch's handlers as `CommandFailed`, not as
  `UnicodeDecodeError`. LATE_FAILURES keeps `UnicodeError`, because
  `git_out` in scripts/repo_shape.py still decodes strictly.
- `Source.registered_submodules` reads the history (aaa40eb). Its one
  caller in `execute` is `_refuse_what_check_finds`, before
  `_create_leg_remotes`, so the new refusal comes before any leg
  repository exists and needs no notice.
- 5751460 spells the paths of the verification's findings. The
  branch's footer and notice follow those findings unchanged.

No top-level name is bound twice in adopt-project.py,
scaffold-project.py, scripts/repo_shape.py or
scripts/shape_materialize.py, and a `symtable` check finds no name
they read that nothing binds. On the merged tree, ten test files give
439 passed and 1 skipped (Windows' own stdout default): the two shared
ones, main's four new ones that read adopt-project.py
(finding_spelling, history_gitlinks, stdout_encoding,
git_output_decoding), and test_adopt_late_failure,
test_adopt_filter_repo_failure, test_adopt_execute_refusals and
test_adopt_plan_escapes.

…uestion:` in `plan-unresolved`, its `source: commit:` in `plan-stale` and a submodule name in `missing value for '<key>'` with `_spelled`, so a line feed in any of them no longer forges a `FINDING` line and an ESC no longer reaches the terminal (#328) (#384)

#212 spelled every PATH a finding names, so that a line break, an ESC or a
byte that is not UTF-8 in a source name cannot leave the line it is printed
on. Three other texts still reached a finding as typed:

- the `question:` of a plan entry, repeated after `The question was:` in
  `plan-unresolved`. It is the one value of a plan that people and AIs
  edit by hand. A line feed in it ended the finding's line and began
  another that `grep '^FINDING'` read as `check`'s own (the issue's
  question printed `FINDING plan-ok: this line was not written by check`
  on its own line, exit 1 all the same); a carriage return and an ESC
  reached the terminal and rewrote the row; a byte that is not UTF-8
  reached it as Python's own raw surrogate, which `print` writes to
  stderr as `\udce9` and refuses on a stream strict about UTF-8.
- the key git reports in `plan-gitmodules-unreadable`, `missing value for
  'submodule.<name>.update'`. The `<name>` is the source author's choice
  and git prints it as it is, so an ESC, a carriage return, U+0085,
  U+2028 or a byte that is not UTF-8 in it reached the finding, while
  `_refused_value`'s messages spell the same key.
- the first 12 characters of the plan's `source: commit:`, in
  `plan-stale`, which `check` prints and `execute` refuses with. A
  `commit:` of `"a\u001b[2K\nFINDING ok"` printed a raw ESC and a second
  line beginning `FINDIN`. The issue did not name this site; the review
  of this change found it.

The issue was partly wrong about `execute`. `execute` does NOT repeat the
question: `_refuse_an_unrunnable_plan` refuses any entry still holding
`leg: null` first, and it lists paths only. Only `check` prints the
question, and tests/test_adopt_question_and_submodule_spelling.py pins
that on main and on this head alike. `execute` DOES repeat the
submodule-name finding as its `REFUSED` line (measured on main: exit 2,
an ESC in the line), and the stale commit as its `plan-stale` refusal.

All three now go through `_spelled`:

- `_leg_findings` prints the question through `_shown`: as it is, and
  printed exactly as before, unless a character in it is not printable,
  and then the whole question `_spelled`, in backticks, a line feed as
  `\n`, a carriage return as `\r`, an ESC as `\x1b`, a byte that is not
  UTF-8 as `_spelled` spells it. Every question `plan` writes is
  printable, so a plan `plan` wrote reads as it did.
- `_registrations` names the key through a new `_git_quoted`: git's own
  single quotes, byte for byte, when `_spelled` has nothing to write
  differently, and `_spelled`'s own form (backticks) otherwise, which is
  how `_refused_value` names the same key. `_git_quoted` asks `_spelled`
  and writes no escape of its own, so whatever `_spelled` does with a
  character (#329 changes how it spells a byte that is not UTF-8) this
  does too.
- `cmd_check` and `_refuse_an_unrunnable_plan` print
  `_shown(plan.source_commit[:12])`: sliced first, so twenty ESCs print as
  twelve escapes, and `_shown`, so a hash or a name prints as it did with
  no backticks.
- A line feed cannot be in a submodule name (git refuses a raw one, and
  `\n` in `.gitmodules` reads as `n`), so the name's cases are ESC, CR,
  U+0085, U+2028, a tab and a byte that is not UTF-8. git's own stderr
  for a `.gitmodules` it cannot parse (`bad config line N in standard
  input`) holds no source text, so there is no third site there.

THE ONE BEHAVIOUR CHANGE to a printable name: a printable key that holds a
backtick or a backslash (a submodule named b, a backtick, a backslash, x)
now prints through `_spelled`, backslash-escaped and in backticks, where it
printed between git's single quotes, because those are the two characters
`_spelled` escapes so that a spelling reads one way only. Nothing else a
printable name, question or commit prints changes: a plain question, a
question holding a backtick or a backslash and a plain name
(`'submodule.b.update'`) were diffed against main and are byte-identical,
and the tests that pin a hash's and a name's `plan-stale` line pass on main
too.

tests/test_adopt_question_and_submodule_spelling.py (106 tests) covers each
unsafe character in a question, in a name and in a commit, a byte that is
not UTF-8, the issue's own question (one line, no second finding), the
printable cases that print exactly as they did, the questions the shipped
policy asks, the name spelled as `_refused_value` spells it, `_git_quoted`
asking `_spelled` and writing no escape of its own, `check` end to end, and
`execute` refusing an unresolved entry without the question, a bad
`.gitmodules` on the lines `check` prints, and a stale plan on the line
`check` prints. 50 of the 106 fail on main; the others are the
byte-identity guards and what holds on both. Eleven mutations are each
caught: the question printed raw, spelled always, or spelled only when it
holds a line feed; the key printed raw, spelled always, or kept in git's
quotes around the spelled body; the commit printed raw at either site,
spelled before it is sliced, or spelled always at either site.

Left out:
- A last-line guard over every finding (#223 suggested one). It cannot
  rewrite at print time without escaping again the backslashes `_spelled`
  wrote, so it has to REFUSE a finding holding a non-printable character,
  which changes what `check` exits on and is its own change.
- `plan`'s own terminal report prints `entry.question` raw in
  `_print_plan_report`: every question `plan` writes is printable, but an
  operator's `--path-policy` could ask another.
- A printable text that already holds a backtick or a backslash prints as
  it is, so a question that is itself wrapped in backticks reads like a
  spelled one. It is `_shown`'s own rule, and the line is one line either
  way.
