Lane: openreposhape-3 (openRepoShape-3)
Claim: #325 (comment)

What

Why

Measured on main (ab623dd), each printed line pasted into sh -c (re-measured on this head, dd14195):

root dir line main this head
my projects check exit 2, unrecognized arguments: projects/Atlas exit 0
my projects apply --branch exit 128, fatal: cannot change to ... exit 0, pushed
my projects apply (no branch) exit 128, fatal: cannot change to ... exit 0, branch + commit
it's here check / --branch exit 2, Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string exit 0
it's here apply (no branch) exit 128, fatal: cannot change to ... exit 0
cost $HOME check exit 2, unrecognized arguments: <the expanded home>/Atlas (the $HOME expanded) exit 0
cost $HOME --branch / no branch exit 128 exit 0

For a plain root the lines are byte-identical: tests/test_update_shape_next_quoting.py::test_a_plain_root_prints_the_bytes_it_always_printed spells the three old lines out and passes on main and on this head. With no lane set nothing else moves.

PART OF THE ISSUE WAS WRONG: the doctor's shape currency row already quotes every value (quote_arg, #101/#102; POSIX on POSIX, PowerShell on Windows). It is unchanged; it now has a test for the roots above, $ included (passes on main).

Windows and PowerShell

shlex.quote is POSIX quoting, as in landing_failed and _by_hand. No PowerShell mode is added. The lines a Windows user would paste into PowerShell: check's python update-shape.py apply ...; apply --branch's git -C <root> push ... && gh pr create ... and apply's git -C <root> checkout -b ... && git -C <root> commit ... (&& needs PowerShell 7; 5.1 does not parse it, as before); the --push line has no path. Every Windows root holds a backslash, which shlex quotes, so a root that printed bare now prints in single quotes (_by_hand says the same of its lines). PowerShell reads a single-quoted string as itself, so it pastes there unless the root holds an apostrophe, whose POSIX spelling ('"'"') is not PowerShell's ''; cmd.exe does not treat ' as a quote. The doctor row stays PowerShell-spelled on Windows. No PowerShell was available to run these; what is said of it is from reading.

Tests

Head dd14195, one commit on ab623dd (git range-diff against the earlier head on c7c02fa shows the patch unchanged).

tests/test_update_shape_next_quoting.py: 54 tests; on main (ab623dd) 47 fail and 7 pass (5 doctor, the --push line, the plain-bytes test, which are the "already right / unchanged" claims). Each line is read back by shlex.split and compared with the intended argv for five root spellings (space, apostrophe, $+backtick, ;()&, double quote), and the lines that are safe to run are pasted into a real sh. Bites checked by breaking the fix in a scratch copy: root bare in check, in the --branch line, in the branchless lines, lane trailer back to double quotes, everything quoted, branch bare, upstream bare, --accept-local path bare, doctor root bare: each fails the intended tests. One existing assertion changed (test_update_shape.py: the lane trailer is single-quoted).

Targeted runs on dd14195, Linux:

  • batch A (test_update_shape_next_quoting, test_update_shape, _pr_base, _landing, _add, _add_ignored, _add_symlink, test_commit_trailers, test_repo_hygiene, test_cli_reference, test_git_output_decoding, test_stdout_encoding, test_windows_paths, test_validator_child_encoding, test_load_yaml_refusals): 674 passed, 4 skipped in 790.89s, exit 0.
  • batch B (test_shape_doctor.py, test_family.py; the doctor loads update-shape.py in process): 353 passed, 3 skipped in 816.47s, exit 0.

Skips, all read: 3 junction tests (test_update_shape_add_symlink.py, "junctions are NTFS's"); 1 in test_stdout_encoding.py ("the default this is about is Windows' own"); 3 PowerShell-line tests in test_shape_doctor.py (printed, and powershell.exe exists, only on a Windows host). In the new file the plain-bytes test, the real-shell pastes and the doctor test are skipped on Windows (reasons in the file), and the double-quote name is skipped there (illegal in a file name). CI runs all three OSes.

Composes with

Trial merges (git merge-tree --write-tree <branch> HEAD) at dd14195 on ab623dd, against the current heads:

every other open PR (#184, #245, #345, #350 to #354, #357, #371, #372) none CLEAN

The four lane-3 siblings merged one after another into this head with no conflict, and the new file (54) and tests/test_update_shape.py (89) pass on that merged tree.

#346 and this change edit the same lines of cmd_check: #346 prints the ADDED UPSTREAM fragment from offered where this change replaces the NEXT line that follows. Whichever lands second takes both: keep #346's for add in offered and this change's apply_command(...) call. Resolved that way in a scratch merge, the new file and test_update_shape_add.py pass (71) and so does test_update_shape_add_not_a_directory.py (13).

Left out

  • apply --branch's Remediation: line for an existing branch prints git -C <root> checkout <branch> with the root and branch bare, the same defect outside a NEXT line.
  • check's ADDED UPSTREAM fragment prints each --add <path> bare, and no copy-list path holds a space today.

Closes #325

Summary by Sourcery

Make every update-shape NEXT command safe to paste when repository paths or arguments require shell quoting.

Bug Fixes:

  • Quote all paths and arguments in update-shape NEXT commands so commands pasted from projects with spaces, shell metacharacters, quotes, or environment-variable syntax execute against the intended repository.
  • Preserve lane trailers as a single shell argument in generated apply commands.

Enhancements:

  • Centralize generation of check's apply command and consistently quote roots, upstreams, accepted-local paths, branches, and git command paths.

Tests:

  • Add comprehensive coverage for shell parsing and real pasted execution across affected check and apply command variants, including awkward roots and paths.

…am, `--accept-local` paths, branch and lane trailer with `shlex.quote`, so `check`'s `apply`, `apply --branch`'s `git -C <root> push && gh pr create` and `apply`'s own `git -C <root> checkout -b && git -C <root> commit` paste whole from a root under `my projects/`, `it's here/` or `$HOME/` (#325)

`landing_failed`'s NEXT line and the rollback's hand-fix lines were quoted
for a POSIX shell by #202 and #204. The three NEXT lines a run prints before
anything has gone wrong were not: each put the root in bare, so a project
under a directory with a space was two arguments, one with an apostrophe was
a quotation nothing closes, and one with a `$` or a backtick was expanded.
The first run of the pasted line then went to the wrong directory or did not
parse, in front of the person it was printed for.

- `check`'s `apply` is built by one function, `apply_command`, from an argv:
  the root, the `--upstream` label (a path on somebody's disk when it is not
  `owner/repo`), every `--accept-local` path (read from the project's own
  pin) and the branch are each one word under `shlex.join`.
- The lane's trailer goes through the same quoter. It was wrapped in double
  quotes by hand (`LANE_NAME_RE` keeps those safe), and is now
  `--trailer 'Lane: <name>'`, the spelling the doctor's `shape currency` row
  has always printed. This is the one visible change for a run in a lane; the
  argv the shell reads out of it is the same.
- `apply --branch`'s `git -C <root> push -u origin <branch>` is `shlex.join`
  of its words, and the branch of the `gh pr create` is `shlex.quote`d.
  `checked_branch`'s alphabet is one `shlex.quote` leaves alone, so no byte
  of a branch moves; it is quoted so that widening the alphabet cannot reopen
  the line.
- `apply` without `--branch` quotes the root in each of the `git -C <root>`
  words of its checkout, its `--add` staging and its commit.
- The doctor's `shape currency` row was already right: every value in it goes
  through `quote_arg` (#101, #102), which is POSIX quoting on POSIX and
  PowerShell's on Windows. It is unchanged and now has a test for the roots
  above, `$` included.
- `scripts/shape_materialize.py`'s `lane_trailer_argument` docstring said
  `update-shape.py`'s NEXT line "quotes nothing"; it now says what that line
  passes. No code there changes.

Unchanged, and diffed: a root and an upstream that need no quoting print the
bytes they printed before, for all three lines and for the `--push` line
(`tests/test_update_shape_next_quoting.py` spells the old lines out and
passes on main and on this head). On Windows every root holds a backslash,
which `shlex` quotes, so a Windows root now prints in single quotes where it
printed bare; that is what `_by_hand` already says of its own lines. These
are lines for a POSIX shell, Git Bash included. PowerShell reads a
single-quoted string as itself, so they still paste there unless the root
holds an apostrophe, whose POSIX spelling is not PowerShell's; no PowerShell
mode is added.

Left out: the `Remediation:` line `--branch` prints when the branch exists
(`git -C <root> checkout <branch>`) is the same defect outside a NEXT line.

Reviewer's Guide

The PR makes all user-pasteable NEXT commands emitted by update-shape.py shell-safe by constructing argv with shlex.join or quoting individual arguments, while preserving plain-root output and adding extensive parsing and end-to-end regression tests for spaces, quotes, expansions, and shell metacharacters.

Assessment against linked issues

Issue Objective Addressed Explanation
#325 Quote the root path in the check and apply NEXT command builders so paths containing spaces or shell metacharacters remain a single argument when pasted into a POSIX shell. ✅
#325 Make the printed NEXT commands correctly quoted for Windows shells, including cmd.exe and PowerShell. ❌ The PR explicitly retains POSIX shlex quoting and adds no Windows-shell-specific quoting. It notes that apostrophes in roots are not correctly handled by PowerShell’s single-quoted strings, and that cmd.exe does not treat single quotes as quoting.

Possibly linked issues

  • #unknown: The PR quotes the root in the affected check and apply NEXT builders, fixing the issue’s core pasted-command failure; Windows quoting remains limited.

Lane: openreposhape-4 (openRepoShape-4)

For the lane holding this PR, no change asked of it here: this lane's PR #402 (#277, doctor C) moves the sentence that every shape-doctor.py NEXT ends with ( # <text>) into a new why field, so next is only the command. This PR's test test_the_doctors_shape_currency_row_keeps_the_root_whole splits the doctor's NEXT at " # then "; the two merge cleanly as text, but on a scratch merge of both that test fails (5 failures), so whichever of the two lands second goes red in CI and has to read why instead. #402 lands after doctor B (#357), not before this evening.

…-quoting

Conflict in update-shape.py `cmd_check`, one hunk: the `ADDED UPSTREAM`
line keeps main's `offered` list (#285, an `--add` `apply` would refuse is
not offered), and the `NEXT` line keeps this branch's `apply_command`, which
quotes the root, the upstream, each `--accept-local` path, the branch and
the lane trailer (#325). main's old bare f-string `NEXT` line and its
comment, which this branch moved into `apply_command`'s docstring, are
dropped.

… writes its pin file as the scaffold does, so an adopted root passes `validate-pins.py` (#273); a `--pin-source` that cannot answer is `pin-source-unreadable` (#339) (#508)

**Brought up to date after #409 squash-landed** by merging origin/main (9736424, #409's squash) as f9ed46f. Its `scaffold-project.py` conflict was resolved to this branch's side once `git diff b70a07d 9736424 -- scaffold-project.py` (#409's final head against its squash) came out empty. So the file is the one tested on this branch plus main's own later changes to it, and holds nothing of #409's; details below.

This branch carries #275's adopt half. It was built on `fix/pin-source-env-collisions`, PR #409 (#275's scaffold half and its fix round), merged at 6494714 as 583f647, over the earlier 5690235 (34dbd86). After 6494714, #409 only merged main, five times, up to its final head b70a07d, and none of those merges has a hand edit (`git show --remerge-diff` is empty for each). Adopt's refusal of two products that share a source variable goes through #409's function, so this branch lands after #409. It was never rebased.

`git diff b70a07d 9736424` is empty for each file #409 touched: `scaffold-project.py`, `scripts/repo_shape.py`, `templates/assembly-root/scripts/validate-pins.py` and `tests/test_pin_source_env_collisions.py`. What f9ed46f resolves, four files with one hunk each:
- **`scaffold-project.py`.**
  - The conflict hunk is main's block from `PIN_COLLISION_REMEDIATION` through `_pin_collision_remediation`, which #409's squash edits: it adds `PIN_VARIABLE_REMEDIATION`, `_colliding_pin_variables` and `_pin_collision_remediation` and changes `_refuse_colliding_pins`. This branch moved all of that to `scripts/shape_materialize.py`. The hunk takes this branch's side. (The merge commit's message says "re-adds"; this is the exact account.)
  - #409's auto-merged import of `PIN_SOURCE_ENV_PREFIX, pin_source_env_collisions` is dropped, because nothing in the file uses either name any more.
  - It is not `git checkout --ours` of the whole file. Main changed the file beyond #409 since this branch last merged it: #355's `--tracking-branch` check (6c2a371) and a73b4e9's `RULESET_HINT`. Those lines stay.
  - The result is the file `git merge-tree` gives for this branch with main before the squash (518010b). Its diff from the file tested here has the same patch-id as main's own 3ef059c..518010b change to it.
- **`templates/assembly-root/scripts/validate-pins.py`.** Main's side, which is #409's final blob, with main's #359 workflow reader in it. This branch had no change of its own to the file beyond #409.
- **`adopt-project.py`, `_commit_the_split`.**
  - Main: #445 wraps the function in its late-failure `try`, and #394 builds an `append` with the plan's submodule record.
  - This branch: its only edits there were a comment and `neutral_pins=_recorded_pins(plan)` on the materializer call.
  - Both now sit on main's call inside the `try`: `append=append, neutral_pins=_recorded_pins(plan)`.
- **`docs/cli.md`.** It is regenerated with `scripts/render-cli-reference.py`, and `--check` is ok. It differs from main's only in the `--pin`, `--pin-owner` and `--pin-source` help of `adopt-project.py plan`.

`scripts/repo_shape.py`, `templates/assembly-root/scripts/validate-pins.py` and `tests/test_pin_source_env_collisions.py` are main's blobs, which are #409's: this branch adds nothing to them. Nothing of #409 is lost. Its scaffold behaviour is `shape_materialize.refuse_colliding_pins` and `pin_variable_collisions`, keyed by #409's `pin_product_key`.

**73d65c6, after the merge.**
- **The change.** `_read_pins` reads `plan.get("pins")` where it read `plan.data.get("pins")`.
- **Why.** #445's `tests/test_adopt_late_failure.py` hands `_commit_the_split` a `SplitPlan` as its plan, a `dict` that adds `entries`. On f9ed46f, three of its tests stopped at "committing the split" with `AttributeError: 'SplitPlan' object has no attribute 'data'` (3 failed, 83 passed in that file).
- **Nothing else changes.** `Plan.get` with no default returns `plan.data.get(key)` exactly, so a loaded plan reads as before.

`adopt-project.py plan --pin` took a NAME only (`--pin openGlass`) and refused a trailing `@<commit>`. `plan`, `check` and `execute` each exited 0, and `execute` printed `adoption verified`. The manifest then listed the name in `neutral_product_pins:` with no `contracts/<product>-pin.yaml` beside it, and on its first run the adopted root's own `validate-pins.py` refused it as `neutral-pin-missing`.

#273's table, reproduced on c7c02fa with the issue's own commands (local bare remotes, and a stub `gh` that exits 97):

| `--pin` | c7c02fa | this branch |
|---|---|---|
| `openGlass` | `execute` exit 0, `- openGlass`; clone's `validate-pins.py` exit 2 `neutral-pin-missing` | `plan` exit 2 `pin-malformed`, with the scaffold's remediation (`--pin openGlass@<40 hex>`); no plan is written |
| `opensoft/openGlass` | exit 0, `- opensoft/openGlass`; exit 2 `neutral-pin-missing` for `contracts/opensoft/openglass-pin.yaml` | `plan` exit 2 `pin-malformed` |
| `spec` | exit 0; `validate-pins.py` exit 0, reading the leg's `contracts/spec-pin.yaml` as the neutral pin | `spec@<sha>` is `adopt-pin-collides` at `plan` |
| `shape` | exit 0; `contracts/shape-pin.yaml` read as the neutral pin | `shape@<sha>` is `adopt-pin-collides` at `plan` |
| `openGlass@<sha>`, `opensoft/openGlass@<sha>` | `plan` exit 2 `adopt-pin-malformed` | `plan`, `check` and `execute` exit 0, and `gh` is called 0 times. `contracts/openglass-pin.yaml` is written and the manifest lists `- openGlass`. In the clone, `validate-manifest.py` exits 0, and `validate-pins.py` exits 0 with `openGlass: pin commit … digest recomputes` |

Brett ruled for decision 1's first option ("go with your recommendation on #273"): adopt takes the scaffold's pin and writes the scaffold's pin file. That reverses the NAME-only `--pin` from #6, and the comment that described it is replaced with the new contract.

- **One implementation.** The scaffold's pin code moved into `scripts/shape_materialize.py`, next to `neutral_pin_path` and the materializer that writes the file. What moved:
  - `PIN_ARG_RE`, `parse_pin`, `pin_digest_from_source` and `pin_digest_from_gh`;
  - `declared_pin_values`, `declared_pin_products` and `PIN_COLLISION_REMEDIATION` (in #309's wording);
  - from #275's branch, `PIN_VARIABLE_REMEDIATION` and the variable check;
  - `_refuse_colliding_pins`, split into the pure `pin_collisions` and `pin_variable_collisions`, and `refuse_colliding_pins(refusal=...)`, which raises one refusal for both.

  The code did not move verbatim. `_refuse_colliding_pins` became the three functions above; `pin_digest_from_source` was rewritten for #339 (below); and fix round 1 changed three of them (below): `pin_variable_collisions` keys each pin by #275's `pin_product_key`, `pin_digest_from_source` spells a path that is not printable, and `pin_digest_from_gh` refuses a missing `gh`. The scaffold's behaviour is otherwise unchanged. `scaffold-project.py` imports what it calls under its old names. Lane 5's review ran 34 scaffold cases (every pin refusal, the `gh` stub's four modes, dry and real successes) on 34dbd86 and on this branch at 7a94b6b. rc, stdout, stderr, the `gh` log and the files made were identical, apart from the shape's own commit and digest and #339's row. Its pin tests and #275's pass as they are. `tests/test_git_output_decoding.py`'s exemption for `pin_digest_from_gh` follows the function to its new file.
- **`plan`.** `--pin`, `--pin-owner` and `--pin-source` mean what they mean for the scaffold. `plan` reads the digest from `--pin-source` or `gh api`, and records product, repository, commit, digest and `digest_source` in the plan, so `check` and `execute` read no network for a pin. `plan` refuses:
  - a name with no `@<commit>`, as `pin-malformed`. That includes an empty `--pin ''`, which adopt used to drop and now refuses, as the scaffold always has;
  - `spec`, `code` and `shape`, in any case, as `adopt-pin-collides` (#273 decision 4), in the scaffold's sentence and remediation (#241, #309);
  - one product given twice, the same way, whether it is a repeat or two names that share one file (decision 5);
  - two products that one `SHAPE_PIN_SOURCE_<PRODUCT>` names, such as `open-glass` and `open_glass`, the same way, through #275's check;
  - a leg path over a pin's file, as `adopt-leg-path-collides`;
  - a `--pin-source` path that `check` would refuse in `digest_source:` (fix round 1), as `adopt-unwritable-value`. It is asked only when a `--pin` records the path;
  - with no `gh` on PATH and no `--pin-source`, `gh-not-found` (fix round 1).
- **`check` and `execute`.** These are new `check` findings, and `execute` refuses each one before any leg exists. They come from `_leg_findings`, the list `check` and `_refuse_what_check_finds` share:
  - `plan-pin-unrecorded`: a name alone (an old plan's `pins: [openGlass]`, or a hand edit), or an entry missing its commit or digest;
  - `plan-pin-malformed`;
  - `plan-pin-collides`, which covers two pins at one file, a pin at a file the shape writes, and two products that share one source variable;
  - `plan-root-holds-pin`: a source path kept in the root at the pin's file. The materializer would write the shape's pin beside it under `shape/`, and `validate-pins.py` would read the source's file instead.

  How each finding ends:
  - `plan-pin-unrecorded` and `plan-pin-malformed` end with the `plan --pin <product>@<40 hex commit>` that records the pin whole.
  - `plan-pin-collides` ends with re-running `plan` with each product once, or, for two products that share a source variable, with one product of each such group.
  - `plan-root-holds-pin` ends with the kept path's own remedy: send that entry to a leg, `drop` it, or rename it in the source and re-run `plan`.

  A leg moved over a pin's file in the plan is `plan-leg-path-collides`.
- **Also part of #386: its `pins:` row.** A hand-edited `pins:` that is not a list (a name such as `pins: openGlass`, a number, a mapping, a quoted string) is now `plan-pin-malformed` in `check` (`` `pins:` is 'openGlass', not a list of pins ``), and `execute` refuses it before any leg exists.
  - Where: `_read_pins` in `adopt-project.py`; the test row is `plan-pin-malformed-not-a-list` in `tests/test_adopt_pins.py`.
  - Before: on main, `check` said `plan ok` for the name, the mapping and the string, and gave a traceback for the number (reproduced by lane 5's review on cb7063f). #386 records that `execute` then wrote the name as eight one-letter pins.
  - Not fixed here: #386's other keys, `allow_empty_legs:`, `paths:`, `legs:` and `source:`, so #386 stays open. Lane 2's #435 takes all of #386, `pins:` included, and its `pins:` rule keeps only text items where this branch writes mappings; whichever lands second reconciles them (#435 (comment), and "Where the meaning meets" below).
- **`execute`.** It writes each pin through `materialize_assembly_root(neutral_pins=...)`. The manifest lists the product with the owner stripped (decision 3), so the entry and the file agree.
- **Docs.** `--help` is updated and `docs/cli.md` regenerated (`render-cli-reference.py --check` ok).

`pin_digest_from_source` caught only `Refusal`. A directory that is no clone is git's own failure, so it was always `pin-source-unreadable`, exit 2. A path `subprocess.run` cannot enter never reaches git: it is a `FileNotFoundError`, `NotADirectoryError` or `PermissionError` out of `cwd=`, and nothing caught it. `scaffold-project.py --pin ... --pin-source <that>` ended `--dry-run` and the real run alike in a traceback, exit 1. Since the move above, `adopt-project.py plan --pin` reads its digest through the same function and ended the same way. Both reach it through `declared_pin_values`, and `check` and `execute` read no source, so that call is the only reader.

The issue's table, run on ab623dd for the scaffold and on d806e8f for `adopt-project.py plan` (adopt has no `--pin-source` on ab623dd), then on this head. `gh` is a stub that logs and exits 97, with `GH_TOKEN` bogus and an empty `GH_CONFIG_DIR`; it was called 0 times in every run:

| `--pin-source` | before | this branch |
|---|---|---|
| a directory that is not a clone | `pin-source-unreadable`, exit 2 | unchanged |
| a path that does not exist | `FileNotFoundError` traceback, exit 1 | `pin-source-unreadable`, exit 2: `<path> could not answer for opensoft/openGlass @ <40 hex>: no such directory` |
| a file | `NotADirectoryError`, exit 1 | exit 2, `... it is a file, not a directory` |
| under a parent this user cannot enter | `PermissionError`, exit 1 | exit 2, `... Permission denied` |
| a symlink loop (not in the issue) | `RuntimeError` out of `Path.resolve()` on 3.12, exit 1 | exit 2, `... Too many levels of symbolic links` |

The real run and `--dry-run` give the same stdout and stderr, and nothing exists afterwards (no remote directory, no work directory; for adopt, no plan file).

What changed, in `scripts/shape_materialize.py` only:
- `pin_digest_from_source` catches `OSError` as well as `Refusal` and raises the existing `pin-source-unreadable` with its remediation unchanged. The message names the path and the reason.
- `stat()` judges the source inside the guard, as #312 does in `validate-pins.py`, and the sentences are that file's: a missing path, or one beneath a file, is "no such directory"; a file is "it is a file, not a directory"; any other `OSError`, from `stat()` or from git's `cwd=`, is the system's own reason (`strerror`). It is not `exists()`/`is_dir()`, which before 3.14 swallow only a missing path. A source `stat()` can read but `cwd=` cannot enter, a directory with no search bit, fails in `tree_digest` and the same guard answers it.
- `declared_pin_values` resolves the path through a guarded `_resolved_pin_source`. `Path.resolve()` raises a `RuntimeError` on a symlink loop before 3.13 (an `OSError` since), before the digest was asked for. As typed, `stat()` meets the loop and says so.
- A source that answers is read exactly as before: a relative path resolves against the working directory, a symlink to a clone is followed, `digest_source` reads `local-clone (<path as typed>)`, and the digest is `tree_digest`'s.

`tests/test_pin_source_unreadable.py` (46 tests in the #339 commit; fix round 1 adds 17 for S1 and moves one, below) runs each case through `scaffold-project.py --dry-run`, its real run and `adopt-project.py plan`: missing, a file, beneath a file, relative and missing, a parent and a source with no search bit (skipped on Windows and as root, by a mark, so before any fixture builds a directory), a 300-character name, a symlink loop (skipped on Windows) and a directory that is no clone. Each asserts exit 2, the refusal naming the path and the reason, its remediation, no traceback and nothing created. It also holds `--dry-run` and the real run to the same stdout and stderr, checks the path is printed escaped under an ASCII stderr and as a surrogate when it is not UTF-8, and checks that a relative source and a symlink to a clone read as before. The session `gh` guard fails any test whose run called `gh`.

origin/main ab623dd reached this branch through implQ's branch: 34dbd86 is a30091f merged with ab623dd. One file conflicted there, `templates/assembly-root/scripts/validate-pins.py`, in seven hunks, because #312 (8cdca5e) replaced `keyed_sources` and `default_source` with `PinSources` and #275 added `env_shared` and `shared`. #312's blob is the same at its PR head, at the squash and at ab623dd, so it landed the file implQ resolved against. The resolution keeps #312's side in all seven and adds #275's on top:

| # | hunk | resolution |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | `resolve_neutral_pin_source` signature | #312's `sources: PinSources` and 3-tuple return, plus #275's `env_shared: bool = False` |
| 2 | its docstring tail | #312's `Returns (path, how, typed)` text, plus #275's "Rule 2 is skipped when `env_shared`" paragraph |
| 3 | `_recompute_neutral_pin_digest` signature | #312's `sources`, plus #275's `shared: frozenset[str]` after `report` |
| 4 | the `resolve_neutral_pin_source(...)` call inside it | #312's 3-tuple unpack, plus `env_shared = product.casefold() in shared` and the extra argument |
| 5 | `_check_one_neutral_product_pin` signature | #312's `sources`, plus #275's `shared` |
| 6 | its call of `_recompute_neutral_pin_digest` | `sources, report, shared` |
| 7 | `_check_neutral_product_pins` docstring and body | #312's `PinSources(...)` and `_note_unused_pin_sources`, plus #275's paragraph, `_report_pin_source_collisions(products, report)` and `shared = frozenset(pin_source_env_shared(products))` |

This branch's own merge of 34dbd86 (5690235) had no conflict, and neither had its merge of #409's fix round, 6494714 (583f647). That fix round made `neutral-pin-source-collides` a note and keyed "one product" by `repo_shape.pin_product_key`. At 421e4e5, `templates/assembly-root/scripts/validate-pins.py`, `scripts/repo_shape.py` and `tests/test_pin_source_env_collisions.py` were byte-identical to the tree `git merge-tree` gives for 6494714 with origin/main 3ef059c (blobs 5604007, 091966b, 5220787), so this branch added nothing to those three files beyond #409. The 34dbd86 merge brought in #335, #312, #317, #270 (f795cf7), #344 and #349 with no conflict. Earlier merges of origin/main (87373a6, for #309's reworded constant, and e43fa95) are unchanged.

Fix round 1 merged origin/main three more times:
- **cd1fc79 (2bcfa69).** It brought #245, #351, #350, #345, #372, #371, #354, #380, #377 and the rest since ab623dd, with no conflict.
- **45e01f4 (4098b61).** It brought #396's `tests/test_agents_md_codes.py`. That test finds `scaffold-pin-collides` as a string constant of `scripts/shape_materialize.py`, which `SHIPPED` lists.
- **3ef059c (421e4e5), #314.** One conflict, one hunk in `adopt-project.py`. This branch's `_refuse_an_unrecordable_pin_source` and #314's section "The project must be able to hold what `execute` writes into it (#261)" were added at the same place; both are kept. Where the two meet, lane 5's earlier recipe applies:
  - `_flag_plan` builds each pin as the `PIN_FIELDS` mapping `plan` writes, not `list(pins)` of products. So the plan `plan` asks the validator about is the plan it writes.
  - #314's `test_plan_asks_what_check_asks_of_the_same_keys` plans `--pin openGlass@<commit> --pin-source <stand-in>` where it planned the name alone, which `plan` now refuses.

Then f9ed46f, after #409 squash-landed, and 73d65c6 after it (top of this description).

On the merged tree exactly one test failed: `tests/test_adopt_template_values.py::test_check_finds_and_execute_refuses_a_hand_edited_value[pins-surrogate]`. It plans, then hand-edits the plan to `pins: ["openX\ud800"]`, a name-only pin with a lone surrogate. Before this branch the refusal's headline was `REFUSED plan-unwritable-value`. A name-only pin in a plan is now `plan-pin-unrecorded` (#273), so `check` has a second, independent finding for that very plan, and the headline is the first finding's:

```
REFUSED plan-pin-unrecorded: 2 finding(s) ...
FINDING plan-pin-unrecorded: `pins:` entry 1, 'openX\ud800', is a name with no commit and no digest ...
FINDING plan-unwritable-value: a `pins:` item is 'openX\ud800', which `execute` writes into the assembly root's `project.yaml`, and it holds a lone surrogate ...
```

Nothing about #270's contract changed. The lone surrogate is still found as `plan-unwritable-value`, listed under the refusal, and `execute` still refuses before any leg exists. `check` builds `_leg_findings`, where `_pin_findings` sits, before it calls `_value_findings`, so the pin finding comes first. d806e8f changes one assertion for that row, `pins` only: the headline is `REFUSED plan-pin-unrecorded: ` where it was `PLAN_REFUSED`. The other 15 rows and the finding assertions, including the `plan-unwritable-value` line, are untouched.

Lane 5's review of 7a94b6b found 3 should-fix and 5 nits. Each is answered here:
- **#409's `pin_product_key` (review N1).** The merge of #409's fix round could not carry it, because this branch had moved the function that used it out of `scaffold-project.py`. `pin_variable_collisions` now keys each pin by that function, where it casefolded. `openß` and `openss` are two pin files and one `SHAPE_PIN_SOURCE_OPENSS`, and a casefold named each of the two pins twice. No `--pin` or recorded `pins:` entry `PIN_ARG_RE` admits can spell either, so the test asks the function directly. `refuse_colliding_pins`' docstring now says, in #409's words, that the root's `validate-pins.py` only notes such a pair.
- **S1, a `--pin-source` path that is not printable.** `pin_digest_from_source` names the path as typed unless it is not printable (`str.isprintable`), and then as Python's `repr` spells it (`shown_source`). That covers the refusal's head and git's own reason, which names the directory it ran in. Printed raw, an ESC reached the terminal, and a line break or a carriage return began a line of the path's choosing, a forged `REFUSED` line among them, from the scaffold and from adopt. The traceback #339 replaced had shown a `repr`. A printable path is named byte for byte as before.
- **S2, no `gh` on PATH.** `pin_digest_from_gh` refuses as `gh-not-found`, exit 2, as `repo_shape.tree_digest_from_gh` names it, and offers `--pin-source`. It was a `FileNotFoundError` traceback, exit 1, from the scaffold and, new with this branch, from `adopt-project.py plan --pin`.
- **S3, a hand-edited `commit:` or `tree_sha256:`.** The lane's decision is to accept it and document it (option (c)); no behaviour changed. A pair that disagrees passes `check` and `execute` (`adoption verified`), because neither reads a network for a pin, by design. The adopted root's own `validate-pins.py` then exits 1 with `neutral-pin-digest-mismatch` wherever it can read the product. `check` now says so once, after the pins it will write: "each pin as `plan` read it, not read again here: the root's own `validate-pins.py` recomputes its digest wherever it can read the product". Options (a), `execute` recomputes before it creates the legs, and (b), `check` recomputes from a clone still on the machine, are filed as #449.
- **N2, a `--pin-source` that `plan` cannot record.** `plan` asks `check`'s question (`one_printable_line`) of the path it records in each pin's `digest_source:`, before any digest is read. It refuses one that fails as `adopt-unwritable-value`, in #270's words (`unwritable_reason`), or as "an invisible formatting character" where those name nothing. Before, it was planned, exit 0, and printed raw in the report. `check` then refused it as `plan-pin-malformed` and said to re-run the same `plan`. The report's `pin` line and `check`'s `write` line now spell the digest's source with `_shown`. The scaffold half is pre-existing (a line break in the path is written into the pin file; a byte that is not UTF-8 dies after all three repositories exist) and is filed as #450.
- **N3, six hunks no test guarded.** Each now has a test that fails when it alone is reverted:
  - the two name guards (a `pins:` name holding an ESC and a forged line);
  - the lower-casing of the commit and the digest (an upper-cased hand edit);
  - the `digest_source` printability check;
  - the not-text check (`commit: 1234567` unquoted);
  - the gitlink filter (a submodule kept where the pin is written is `plan-submodule-root` alone).
- **N4.** This body.
- **N5, #339's third decision.** A `--pin-source` that nothing reads is still silent, now in adopt too. This PR does not decide it. #451, filed, lays out refuse, note and leave, so closing #339 loses nothing.

Lane 5's second review, of 421e4e5, found no blocking item, 2 should-fix items and 3 nits. The two should-fix items are this body: the landing after #409 (above) and #386 (above). The code needed no change for them. f63d1ed adds two tests and no code:
- **n1. `plan` asks nothing of a `--pin-source` no `--pin` records.** With the `args.pin and` guard dropped, such a path holding an ESC or a zero-width joiner was refused in a sentence naming no file ("`execute` writes into , and ..."), and every test still passed. `test_a_pin_source_no_pin_records_is_not_asked_about` holds the plan to exit 0 and `pins: []`, with the path named nowhere in the plan or the report. The ESC row is POSIX-only by the file's `POSIX_NAMES` mark; the zero-width joiner row runs everywhere. It holds #451's answer today, silence, so a decision there changes this test on purpose.
- **n2. A printable `--pin-source` is printed as it is.** With `_spelled` in place of `_shown` in `plan`'s `pin` line, every test still passed. `test_a_printable_pin_source_is_printed_as_it_is` holds `plan`'s `pin` line, and `check`'s `write` line for the plan `plan` wrote, to their exact text, ending `(local-clone (<path>))` with no backtick.
- **n3** needs a code change and is left out (below).

**Fix round 2, on f63d1ed.** Each run had a `gh` stub first on PATH (it logs and exits 97), `GH_TOKEN` bogus, an empty `GH_CONFIG_DIR`, `git-filter-repo` 2.47.0 next on PATH, and the identity blanked with `GIT_CONFIG_COUNT`; the session `gh` guard came first inside each run.
- **The pin set: 812 passed, 2 skipped.** It covers adopt pins, adopt plan, #339's file, #275's tests, the pin and neutral-pin validators, git output decoding, adopt template values, CLI reference, scaffold pin and reuse, scaffold pin collisions, #314's two files and #396's file. The skips are `test_adopt_plan.py:403` (no MedxEHR clone) and `test_adopt_template_values.py:223` (this host reads `git config user.name` from the repository, not from `GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL`). That is fix round 1's 809 passed, plus the three new rows.
- **Shape doctor and scaffold leg-path collisions: 369 passed, 3 skipped** (the PowerShell line exists only on a Windows host).
- **Mutation probes**, each one line changed in a throwaway worktree, over `tests/test_adopt_pins.py` and `tests/test_pin_source_unreadable.py` less the five end-to-end adoptions:
  - the `args.pin and` guard dropped: 2 failed, both n1 rows;
  - `plan`'s `pin` line `_spelled`: 1 failed, the n2 test;
  - `check`'s `write` line `_spelled`: 2 failed, the n2 test and `test_an_upper_cased_hand_edit_is_written_lower_cased`;
  - `plan`'s `pin` line raw: 1 failed, the no-break-space test that already guarded that hunk.

**On the merged tree, 73d65c6** (the merge f9ed46f and the `_read_pins` commit), with the same harness:
- **The pin set** above, with #445's `test_adopt_late_failure.py`, `test_adopt_git_reads.py` and `test_adopt_filter_repo_failure.py` and #387's `test_adopt_empty_symlinks.py` and `test_adopt_root_manifest.py`: **988 passed, 2 skipped**. The skips are the two above.
- **Shape doctor, scaffold leg-path collisions and the adopt suites:** **967 passed, 3 skipped** (the PowerShell line). The adopt suites are e2e, execute refusals, verify, root shape paths (#387's too), leg-path collisions, clone template, ignored shape files and submodules.
- **On the merge alone, f9ed46f** (the same tree as before the `_read_pins` commit): `tests/test_adopt_late_failure.py` gave 3 failed, 83 passed, the three `AttributeError` rows above.
- `render-cli-reference.py --check` is ok on the merged tree. pyflakes reports the same four warnings on `adopt-project.py`, `scaffold-project.py` and `scripts/shape_materialize.py` as before the merge.

**Fix round 1, on 421e4e5.** Each run had `git-filter-repo` 2.47.0 on PATH and the identity blanked with `GIT_CONFIG_COUNT`. A `gh` stub that logs and exits 97 was first on PATH, with `GH_TOKEN` bogus and an empty `GH_CONFIG_DIR`, and the session `gh` guard came first inside each run.
- **The pin set:** 809 passed, 2 skipped (the same files and skips as above).
- **Doctor and scaffold:** 782 passed, 3 skipped (the PowerShell line exists only on a Windows host). It covers shape doctor, scaffold leg-path collisions, scaffold e2e, referent chain links, naming policy, repo hygiene and #351's free-text values.
- **The adopt suites:** 882 passed. It covers e2e, execute refusals, verify, spec-only, leg paths, root shape paths, plan escapes, leg-path collisions, clone template and submodules.
- **Before the #314 merge,** on 74ce4d9's tree: the first two sets gave 577 passed, 2 skipped and 782 passed, 3 skipped. On 2bcfa69's tree (the merges alone, before the fix) they gave 542 passed, 2 skipped and 782 passed, 3 skipped. After the 45e01f4 merge, `tests/test_agents_md_codes.py`, repo hygiene and CLI reference: 110 passed.
- **Lane 5's second review** also ran 421e4e5 merged with main cb7063f and with 53bee5b: the pin set, the manifest-value set, and the doctor set with #357's `tests/test_doctor_validator_rows.py`. All passed, with only the skips above.

Proof that fix round 1's tests test something:
- **On 2bcfa69's tree,** with this head's two test files laid over it, 31 of the new rows fail:
  - S1: 17;
  - N2 and its report spelling: 7;
  - S2: 3;
  - the `pin_product_key` port: 2;
  - `check`'s S3 line: 1;
  - the not-UTF-8 `adopt plan` row: 1.

  The N3 rows pass there, as they must: they guard hunks this branch already had.
- **Mutation probes.** Each hunk was reverted alone, in a throwaway worktree, and both test files were run: 18 of 18 were caught.
  - **The port:** the casefold keying (2 fail); the casefold lookup alone (2).
  - **S1:** the path named raw (13); git's reason named raw (2); every path `repr`'d, printable or not (27).
  - **S2:** no `except` (3).
  - **N2:** no `plan` check (11); only #270's question asked (1); the formatting-character reason said otherwise (1); the report's `pin` line raw (1); `check`'s `write` line raw (1).
  - **S3:** the line dropped (1).
  - **N3:** the `_pin_fix` name guard (1); the `_read_pins` path guard (1); the lower-casing (1); the `digest_source` check (1); the not-text check (1); the gitlink filter (1).
- **The issue rows reproduced.** S1, S2 and N2 were reproduced on 2bcfa69's tree and shown gone on the fix (a probe driving both tools; `gh` was called 0 times).

**Before fix round 1.** Runs were on 7a94b6b, with `git-filter-repo` 2.47.0 first on PATH and the repository-local `user.name` blanked with `GIT_CONFIG_COUNT` (a workstation whose standard checkout sets one fails `test_the_scaffold_refuses_with_no_elector` on main itself; CI sets none). 7a94b6b differs from ffd1297 in `tests/test_pin_source_unreadable.py` only, so the three suites that do not read that file ran on ffd1297:

- the new file: 46 passed;
- adopt pins, adopt plan, git output decoding: 172 passed, 1 skipped (the MedxEHR clone is absent);
- scaffold pin and reuse, pin collisions, e2e, referent chain links, neutral pin and pin validators, #275's tests, naming policy, repo hygiene, CLI reference, scaffold leg-path collisions: 571 passed;
- shape doctor: 254 passed, 3 skipped (the PowerShell line exists only on a Windows host);
- the new file with repo hygiene, git output decoding and CLI reference, once more after the last edit: 176 passed.

Earlier on 5690235 and d806e8f, before the #339 commit: the adopt suites (e2e, execute refusals, verify, spec-only, leg paths, root shape paths, plan escapes, leg-path collisions, clone template) 740 passed, and `tests/test_adopt_template_values.py` with #273's other adopt tests 489 passed, 2 skipped. They were not re-run on 7a94b6b: the #339 diff touches `pin_digest_from_source` and the call in `declared_pin_values`, which those suites reach through `test_adopt_pins.py` only. Nothing was run on macOS or Windows.

Proof the new tests test something:
- **On d806e8f.** 38 of the 46 fail, each on the traceback and its exit 1. The 8 that pass are the unchanged behaviour: the not-a-clone refusal (4 rows) and the valid-source rows (4).
- **Mutation probes.** Ten hunks reverted one at a time, each failing at least one new test: the `OSError` catch (16 fail), the catch narrowed to `OSError` only (21), the missing-path clause (9), the clause narrowed to `FileNotFoundError` (3), the `S_ISDIR` judgement (3), the loop guard (4), no resolve at all (3), the old `.resolve()` call (4), the reason as `str(exc)` (12), and the file sentence as the OS's (3).
- #273's own 52 tests still fail on c7c02fa (51 fail or error; the one that passes checks the test's own table), and its 18 mutation probes were each caught.

**Re-verified after the merge.** An independent re-verification of f9ed46f and 73d65c6 found the code correct:
- #409 is carried whole. A 30,000-case fuzz of `--pin` lists through #409's final refusal and this branch's port differed in 0 cases.
- `scaffold-project.py` equals the tested file plus main's own changes that are not #409's (same patch-id).
- `_commit_the_split` keeps #445's `try` and #394's `append`.
- `_read_pins` reads a loaded plan as before.

Its findings were all in this description (the #506 bullet and three stale facts), now fixed. Runs on the head and on its merge with main 48585e6: 988 passed, 2 skipped; and 967 passed, 3 skipped.

`git merge-tree --write-tree` was run at 01:48Z on 2026-10-13, comparing hunks per file. Each PR head, fetched from `refs/pull/<n>/head` with no `gh`, was merged with 73d65c6 and with origin/main 9736424 alone. Two sets were asked about:
- every PR this description listed before that main does not now contain;
- every PR numbered above #468 whose head main does not contain: #473, #474, #490, #491, #493, #494, #495, #496, #497, #503, #504 and #505.

**Open state, read with `gh` by the coordinator at 02:00Z and refreshed at 02:25Z after a re-verification on main 48585e6.** Every pull request named below is open. #184, #94, #96, #98, #100 and #161 are closed, and #465 landed as 48585e6. `fix/adopt-plan-quote-yaml-keywords` has no pull request. #506 (`fix/scaffold-reuse-seeded-legs`) opened after this list was made, and the re-verification reads it.

- **Landed since the last draft of this list:** #343, #346, #355, #358, #373, #378, #382, #387, #394, #397, #401, #404, #409, #419, #452, #456, #465, #466 and #484. #394's `_commit_the_split` conflict and #401's `docs/cli.md` conflict are both resolved in f9ed46f, above.
- **Clean, 20:** #266, #347, #356, #374, #376, #384, #395, #453, #467, #468, #473, #474, #490, #491, #493, #494, #495, #497, #503 and #505. #453, #468 and #491 were updated onto main since the first read and now merge clean. #507 (lane 5's #486-#488) shares only the generated `docs/cli.md` with this branch and merges clean with it.
- **Conflicting with main alone, and this branch adds no hunk:**
  - #402: `shape-doctor.py` 5;
  - #496: `shape-doctor.py` 10 and `tests/test_shape_doctor.py` 1.

**Conflicts this branch adds:**
- **#435** (3efcc7a, lane 2's `fix/adopt-plan-field-types`, for #386).
  - It adds 2 hunks in `adopt-project.py`: 5 here, against 3 with main alone. They are `render_plan`'s `pins:` line and `Plan.pins`.
  - Keep this branch's `_pin_lines` and `_pin_products`. The rest is under "Where the meaning meets".
- **#504** (37ef29a, `fix/adopt-root-kept-symlinks`).
  - It adds 1 hunk in `adopt-project.py`: 2 here, against 1 with main alone. It is the materializer call in `_commit_the_split`.
  - Keep both arguments and both comments: `append=append, neutral_pins=_recorded_pins(plan), spell=_spelled`.
- **#506** (119d8c4, `fix/scaffold-reuse-seeded-legs`).
  - It adds 1 hunk in `scaffold-project.py`. With main alone, #506 conflicts only in `docs/handbook.html`.
  - #506 inserts `LEG_TEMPLATES` right after `declared_pin_products`, which this branch moved out, and rewrites `_reusable_remotes` further down. Keeping both sides breaks the file with an unterminated string literal.
  - Keep only #506's `LEG_TEMPLATES` block. Drop #506's `declared_pin_values`/`declared_pin_products`, which moved here, and this branch's three-line `_reusable_remotes` opener, which #506 rewrites below. Resolved that way, pyflakes is clean and #506's scaffold tests pass (88).
- **`fix/adopt-plan-quote-yaml-keywords`** (ed9968f; a branch with no pull request).
  - It adds 2 hunks in `adopt-project.py`: 3 here, against 1 with main alone.
  - One is `render_plan`'s `pins:` line. Keep `_pin_lines`, which already sends product, repository and `digest_source` through `y`.
  - The other is `_refuse_unholdable_values`' signature. Keep `pins: dict`, with that branch's `_validator_judged` and `_named_as_read` above it.
- `fix/adopt-late-failure-notice` is no longer on origin. #445, the late-failure notice, is on main and merged here.

**Where the meaning meets:**
- **#435 and #386.** The coordinator has said this on #435: #435 (comment)
  - #435's `_plan_key_findings` (`plan-bad-pins`) keeps only text items in `pins:`, and its `PINS_REMEDIATION` tells a person to write `pins: [openGlass]`.
  - This branch writes each pin as a mapping, and it makes a name alone `plan-pin-unrecorded`.
  - Read from #435's code, not run: on a tree with both, the plan `plan --pin` writes is `plan-bad-pins` in `check`.
  - Whichever lands second reconciles them, with three changes:
    - `_plan_key_findings` takes this branch's mappings, or leaves `pins:` items to `_read_pins`;
    - a `pins:` that is not a list gives one finding, not both `plan-bad-pins` and `plan-pin-malformed`;
    - `PINS_REMEDIATION` says the mapping `plan` writes.
  - Until that is done, `tests/test_adopt_pins.py::test_a_plan_with_a_whole_pin_checks_ok` fails.
- **#314.** It landed, and it is merged here (above).
- **`fix/adopt-plan-quote-yaml-keywords`.** Its pin tests are written against the name-only `--pin`. They need the `name@commit` form, and their expected `pins: [...]` line becomes `_pin_lines`'s mapping.

- **Two unwritable values are refused in two runs (lane 5's second review, n3).** `plan --elected-by 'A<LF>B' --pin openGlass@<sha> --pin-source <a path holding an ESC>` refuses the elector alone, exit 2. Re-run with the elector retyped, it refuses the source; #270's refusal names every unwritable value at once. Reproduced on 421e4e5, with `gh` called 0 times. One refusal would need a code change, not made here:
  - `_refuse_an_unrecordable_pin_source` would split into a function that returns the sentence;
  - `_checked_plan_inputs` would ask it before #270's `unwritable_values` raise, and raise one `adopt-unwritable-value` that names both, with both remediations;
  - a test would add the two-value row.

  N2's question is `one_printable_line`, not `unwritable_reason`, so it cannot simply join #270's list.
- **Docs.** The README, AGENTS.md and `docs/handbook.html` are unchanged, because none of them calls adopt's `--pin` a name. A sentence saying adopt now takes the scaffold's `--pin` is a follow-up. It costs an AGENTS.md line-cap raise, and a README edit forces the handbook's README blob to change.
- **A product spelled `null`, `true` or `false`.** The scaffold already accepts `--pin null@<sha>`: it exits 0 and builds a root whose `validate-pins.py` exits 1 `neutral-pin-entry-malformed`. Adopt's `plan` writes `product: null` through `y`, and `check` then finds `plan-pin-malformed` and refuses it before any leg exists. The one fix for both tools is in `parse_pin`, and it would change the scaffold's behaviour.
- **Wording shared with the scaffold.** `digest_source` is written bare into the pin file, so a `--pin-source` path holding ` #` is cut short there. `templates/assembly-root/contracts/neutral-product-pin.yaml` and `validate-pins.py`'s `neutral-pin-missing` remediation name only the scaffold as the writer. Two comments in `scripts/repo_shape.py` still name the scaffold's `pin_digest_from_gh`, in a digest-pinned shipped copy.
- **Filed as follow-ups:**
  - #449: S3, a hand-edited `commit:` or `tree_sha256:` that disagrees, with options (a) and (b);
  - #450: the scaffold half of N2, a `--pin-source` path no file can hold;
  - #451: #339's third decision (N5), a `--pin-source` that nothing reads.
- **`validate-pins.py` prints a `--pin-source` path raw** in `neutral-pin-source-unreadable`, the twin of S1. It is a shipped template that #409 and other open PRs edit, so it is left for its own change. No issue is filed for it yet.
- **Windows and macOS** were not run here; CI ran both (below). Two assertions that depend on what Windows answers for a path (a name past the filesystem's limit, a path beneath a file) check only the refusal and its remediation there. Fix round 1's rows that need a control character or a byte that is not UTF-8 in a path, or a symlink to `git`, are skipped on Windows by a mark, and so is fix round 2's ESC row. The rows for a no-break space and a zero-width joiner run everywhere, and so does the in-process `gh-not-found` test.

Reviewed independently by lane 5 at 7a94b6b (3 should-fix, 5 nits: fix round 1) and at 421e4e5 (0 blockers, 2 should-fix, 3 nits: fix round 2). After #409's squash, the re-verification of f9ed46f and 73d65c6 found the code correct; its 1 should-fix and 3 nits were in this description and are fixed. GitHub's update-branch then merged main twice (33bae3f, 2170526), with no hand edit. CI's tests, tests-macos and tests-windows and SonarCloud all passed at 2170526 (main cac6bb2 merged in). On that head merged with main 57c85e9 (#490, #474 and #468, none of which touches this branch's files), the pin and adopt set with `tests/test_update_shape_landing.py` gave 1112 passed, 2 skipped, and the doctor, adopt end-to-end, unfinished-merge and bootstrap set gave 1056 passed, 3 skipped (the doctor's PowerShell line, which exists only on a Windows host).

… text placeholders, so `--id 007`, `--tracking-branch 2026`, `--spec-path true` or `--org null` read back as typed, and `family.py add` quotes a member id alike (#259) (#395)

Brett Heap ruled on 2026-10-12: "quote #259". The templates now write each text field a tool fills from a value it was given between double quotes:

| template | fields |
|---|---|
| `templates/assembly-root/project.yaml` | `id`, `elected_on`, `visibility`, `tracking_branch`, the spec leg's `path`, the code leg's `path` |
| `templates/assembly-root/contracts/spec-pin.yaml`, `code-pin.yaml` | `submodule_path` |
| `templates/family-root/family.yaml` | `id`, `org`, `created_on`, `visibility`, `tracking_branch` |

`render` already spells a value between a YAML template's double quotes with `repo_shape.double_quoted` (#284). The single-pass `render` from #316, on main as 34ecbc2, does the same through `YAML_PLACEHOLDER_RE`. So each value reads back exactly. An ordinary value renders as it did before, plus the two quote characters.

`family.yaml`'s `org:` is quoted along with the four fields #259 names. It is the same defect in the same file: `family.py init --org 2026` and `--org null` pass `checked_value`, and on c7c02fa the holder then fails `family-org` (#307 lists the `--org null` row). Taking `org:` back out is not a one-line revert. It fails 14 of the new tests (the 8 `family.yaml:org` in-memory cases, and all 6 `family.py init` rows, because every row of `FAMILIES` passes a misread `--org`), and it would also take the `ORG` row out of `TEXT_FIELDS` and put plain `--org` values into `FAMILIES`. The lane keeps `org:` quoted, as the same defect in the same file, unless Brett says otherwise.

`scripts/family.py`: `_member_lines` writes each member's own `project.yaml` id into the holder's `members:` block. That id now reads back exactly, so a bare `007` in the row came back as 7, and `validate-family.py` would report `member-id-mismatch` for a member it had just pinned. `_member_id` quotes an id only when the reader would not read the bare text back as the same text. No row whose id reads back as text moves: `irrs` is still `id: irrs`. Two edges:

- A legacy row whose bare id the reader misreads moves once. A holder written before this change, by `family.py add` of a member scaffolded with `--id 2026`, holds `id: 2026`. The next `bump`, `add` or `remove` of that holder rewrites it as `id: "2026"`. That is harmless: `validate-family.py` compares with `str()` and passes before and after.
- Mixed versions. A `family.py` from before this change, run against a holder this branch wrote, turns `id: "007"` back into `id: 007`, and `validate-family.py` then fails `member-id-mismatch` (the member declares `007`, `family.yaml` records `7`). A current `family.py` that rewrites the holder next then writes that row as `id: "7"`. Nothing in this branch can prevent it: run `family.py` from a current checkout on a holder that has such a member.

Left unquoted on purpose: `topic` (`xf-project-<id>`), every `repository` (`<org>/<Name>`; the slash keeps it text), `SHAPE_REPOSITORY` and `DIGEST_DEFINITION` (constants), and the block or list placeholders (`NEUTRAL_PRODUCT_PINS`, `*_NAMING`, `SHAPE_FILES`).

**Why.** Every reader of these files uses `repo_shape`'s YAML subset. It reads a bare `007` as 7, `2026` and `20261011` as numbers, `1.5` as a float, `true` as True and `null` as None. The checks on the flags (`PROJECT_ID_RE`, `checked_value`, the leg-path rule) accept every one of these. Reproduced on c7c02fa, with local bare remotes only:

- `scaffold-project.py --id 2026|007|true|null|20261011` exits 0, and the project's own `validate-manifest.py` then fails `manifest-id`.
- `--spec-path 2026 --code-path 007` fails `manifest-leg-path`, and `validate-pins.py` exits 2.
- `--tracking-branch 007` pushes each leg on `007`, and the root's `bootstrap.py` then puts the legs on a local `7` with `fatal: no upstream configured`. `true` and `null` do the same on `True` and `main`.
- `adopt-project.py execute` with `--tracking-branch 007` does the same; `--id 007|20261011` gives `manifest-id`; leg paths `2026`/`007` give `manifest-leg-path`.
- `family.py init --id 2026|007|true|null|20261011` gives `family-id`; `--org 2026|null` gives `family-org`; `--tracking-branch 007|true|null` reads back as 7/True/None.

On this branch every one of those rows reads back as typed, bootstraps onto the typed branch with `origin/<branch>` as upstream, and passes the root's own validators.

**Every reader checked.** Every reader reads these fields through `load_yaml`/`parse_yaml` into a dict. None uses a line regex, `split(":")`, `startswith("<field>: ")` or a whole-line rewrite of them:

- `templates/assembly-root/scripts/bootstrap.py`: `tracking_branch`, leg `path`.
- `validate-manifest.py`: `id`, `elected_on`, `visibility`, leg `path`.
- `validate-pins.py`: `submodule_path` against the manifest's `path`. The pin side is read as it stands and the manifest side goes through `str()`, so the two differ in type exactly when a bare value is misread (that is the `pin-path-mismatch` row above). With both lines quoted they are the same text.
- `validate-repository-naming.py`: `str(id)` for the topic.
- `templates/family-root/scripts/validate-family.py`: `id`, `org`, `created_on`, `visibility`, `str()` member-id compare.
- `siblings.py`, family `bootstrap.py`.
- `scripts/bump-leg.py`: `tracking`, leg `path`. Its `rewrite_pin` rewrites only `commit:` and `tree_sha256:`.
- `update-shape.py`: `tracking_branch_of`. `rewrite_manifest` touches only the `shape:` block.
- `scripts/family.py`: `tracking()`, the member's id, and the `members:` rewrite. The member-id writer is the one fixed here.
- `shape-doctor.py`: leg `path`, member row `path`, working-clone `str(id)` compare.
- `adopt-project.py`: plan reads and `_template_values`.
- `setup-project.py`: `family.yaml` `name`/`kind` only.
- `scripts/shape_advisory.py`: the single-repository record only.

The `str()` fallbacks (`bootstrap.py`, `adopt-project.py`'s `checked_value`) stay, because projects made before this keep their bare lines.

**Pins.** The four files are TEMPLATED, not COPIED, so no row of any project's `contracts/shape-pin.yaml` names them. `Atlas` was scaffolded and `family.py init Contoso` was run on c7c02fa and on this branch. Each `contracts/shape-pin.yaml` differs only in `commit:` and `digests.tree_sha256`, which identify the standard itself and change with every commit; every per-file `sha256` row is identical. `update-shape.py check` of the c7c02fa project and holder against this branch reports every copied file `unchanged` (11 and 10 rows): "no copied file differs; `apply` would move the pin alone".

**Tests.**

- New: `tests/test_template_text_placeholders.py`, 123 tests:
  - Each of the 13 fields is rendered with each of 8 values the reader misreads (`2026 007 1.5 true null 20261011 ~ False`), and must read back exactly.
  - 6 `scaffold-project.py` runs, then a recursive clone, `bootstrap.py`, the three validators, and `bump-leg.py`, which refuses on the tracking branch and finds the leg at its path on a branch of its own.
  - 6 `adopt-project.py` `plan`/`check`/`execute` runs into local bare remotes, then a clone, `bootstrap.py` and the validators.
  - 6 `family.py init` runs.
  - One `family.py add` of members whose ids are `007` and `true`.
  - **All 123 fail on c7c02fa.**
- `true`/`null` through adopt: `plan` writes them bare into the plan, and the plan's reader then misreads them. That belongs to the plan writer, #181 (lane 1). Those two rows quote the value in the plan by hand, as #181's writer will, and test `check`/`execute`.
- Mutation probes: reverting any one of the 13 quoted lines fails 8 cases of its field. Reverting `_member_id` fails the member test (the rows read 7/True).
- The `try/except YamlError` in `_member_id` is guarded by the follow-up commit. The review found that calling the parse directly left the member test passing. Ids such as `[`, `{`, `&a`, `*a` and `!t` reach the `except` (they raise `YamlError` bare), and `_member_id` returns each one exactly, as it does 34 adversarial inputs in all (the review's in-process probe). `test_a_member_id_the_reader_refuses_bare_is_rewritten_between_quotes` (7 cases: `[`, `{`, `&a`, `*a`, `!t`, an unclosed `'` and an unclosed `"`) opens a hand-edited holder whose row holds the id between double quotes, rewrites the `members:` block with `Family.rewritten`, and asks that the id read back exactly and the text come out byte for byte. With the `try/except` removed all 7 fail with the reader's `YamlError`, and with the `except` returning the bare text all 7 fail too; the old member test still passes under the first of those mutants.
- 14 existing tests that asserted or edited a bare rendered line now spell it quoted: `test_manifest_validator` ×5, `test_pin_validator`, `test_reference_default`, `test_scaffold_e2e` ×2, `test_setup_project_py`, `test_setup_sh`, `test_family`, `test_shape_doctor` ×2.
- Targeted runs on this branch:

  | files | result |
  |---|---|
  | new file + `test_template_quoted_values`, `test_scaffold_e2e`, `test_scaffold_pin_and_reuse`, `test_scaffold_leg_paths`, `test_scaffold_leg_path_collisions`, `test_reuse_visibility`, `test_reference_default` | 405 passed |
  | the six adopt files | 491 passed, 1 skipped (the MedxEHR clone is not set) |
  | `test_family`, `test_family_add_refusals`, `test_family_member_path`, `test_manifest_validator`, `test_pin_validator`, `test_bump_leg`, `test_update_shape`, `test_update_shape_pr_base`, `test_setup_project_py`, `test_park_resume_targets`, `test_repo_hygiene`, `test_cli_reference`, `test_setup_sh` | 603 passed |
  | `test_shape_doctor` | 241 passed, 3 skipped (Windows-only), 1 failed; that one test was fixed, and with its sibling it reran at 2 passed |

**The review.** An independent opus review at 233dc71 (the branch's first commit) found no code defect. Its verdict was CHANGES NEEDED (0 blockers, 2 should-fixes, 6 nits) because it asked for this description and its composition counts to be corrected, and they are. Its evidence:

- **Readers and rewriters.** Every reader in the shipped tree reads the 13 lines through `load_yaml`/`parse_yaml`, and no line regex or whole-line rewrite touches them. It read `bump-leg.py` `rewrite_pin`, `update-shape.py` `rewrite_shape_pin` and `rewrite_manifest`, `family.py` `rewritten`, the three validators, `siblings.py`, both `bootstrap.py`, the doctor, `setup-project.py`, the workflows, the Makefile and `setup.sh`. No test among main's 17 commits since c7c02fa (through #245's 161c6c9) edits one of these lines bare.
- **`_member_id`, the one rewriter changed.** A mutant that writes every id bare fails the member test (the rows read back as `{'IRRS': 7, 'IRSS': True}`). A mutant that quotes every id fails `b"    id: irqs" in lines`. So the minimal-churn choice is tested both ways.
- **Old projects and holders.** Against a control commit (c7c02fa plus an unrelated README edit), a project and a holder made on c7c02fa give identical `update-shape.py check` and `shape-doctor.py` output, up to the shas. `check --at 233dc71` reports all 11 project files and all 10 holder files `unchanged` and says `no copied file differs`. The doctor's verdict is `COMPLIANT, SHAPE BEHIND (... no copied file differs)` for the control and for 233dc71. This branch's `family.py add` and `bump` on a c7c02fa holder leave the old `atlas` row and the header byte for byte, apart from the legacy-id edge described at the top.
- **Tests.** All 123 new tests fail on c7c02fa (`123 failed`) and pass on 233dc71 (`123 passed`). The 14 changed existing tests pass (49 passed).
- **Not covered.** Windows and macOS were reviewed by reading and not run: the plan edit and the member-row check are in bytes, and nothing writes to git's stdin in text mode. Of `test_shape_doctor.py` and `test_family.py` the review ran only the changed tests.

**Follow-up commit.** A second commit, `3894aa8`, answers two nits from the review, and changes no behaviour. The `_member_id` docstring said "no existing holder's `members:` block moves by a byte", which was false: the next `bump`, `add` or `remove` of a holder written before this change rewrites a legacy `id: 2026` row as `id: "2026"`, harmlessly, because `validate-family.py` compares with `str()`. The docstring now says exactly that, and a grep of every comment and docstring the branch added for "by a byte" and "moves" found one more copy, in the member test's docstring, corrected the same way. The `try/except YamlError` in `_member_id` is guarded by a new test (see Tests), so the new file holds 130 tests. Every count above that says 123 (123 new tests, all failing on c7c02fa and passing on 233dc71) is for the first commit; the follow-up commit adds the 7. The `except` also carries a comment saying which ids reach it.

**Composition at the landing head (4984651).** `49846518` is GitHub's update-branch merge of origin/main `cc8f2da4` (#376, a `--trailer` value carried into the commit as typed) into `3220c9ee`. Git reported no conflict, and the merge has no hand edit. #376 changed `scripts/family.py` and `tests/test_family.py`, which this branch also changes. None of the lines it added under `tests/` names a key the templates now quote. The coordinator ran targeted tests on this head, Linux only, before CI:
- main's changed test files (`tests/test_commit_trailers.py`, `tests/test_family.py`, `tests/test_bump_leg.py`, `tests/test_update_shape.py`) with `tests/test_family_add_member_id.py`: 421 passed, 1 skipped (a case-insensitive disk only);
- this branch's template set (`tests/test_template_text_placeholders.py`, `tests/test_template_quoted_values.py`, `tests/test_scaffold_manifest_values.py`, `tests/test_bootstrap_spelling.py`, `tests/test_bootstrap_after_bump.py`) with the hygiene, CLI-reference and AGENTS.md-codes tests: 652 passed.

**Composition at 3220c9e.** `3220c9ee` is GitHub's update-branch merge of origin/main `70d0d1b3` into `e5e768bc`. It brings in three commits: #491 (da19735), in which `setup-project.py` asks at the person's own terminal; #374 (7ab11cf), update-shape's NEXT quoting; and #384 (70d0d1b), adopt's `_spelled` plan values. Git reported no conflict, and the merge has no hand edit. #491 changed `tests/test_setup_project_py.py` and `tests/test_setup_sh.py`, which this branch also changes. A grep of the lines main added under `tests/` for the keys the templates now quote found two hits, and neither reads a rendered template line: `tests/test_update_shape_next_quoting.py` writes its own `project.yaml`, and `tests/test_adopt_question_and_submodule_spelling.py` edits a plan's `- path:`/`question:` entry, which `adopt-project.py` writes bare.

The coordinator ran targeted tests on the same tree (`e5a74d19`), Linux only, before CI:
- six of main's eight changed test files (the setup, update-shape, `openRepoShape` command and doctor-row tests): 365 passed;
- main's other two (adopt's spelling and repo hygiene), `tests/test_adopt_github_exits.py` and nine more files of this branch's sixteen-file set: 943 passed.

**Composition, refreshed again 2026-10-13 (head e5e768b).** `6d108d18` merges origin/main `56713e21` into `6cbbac60`. That brings in two commits: 5e02abe, the doctor's and `validate-pins.py`'s gitlink repairs, and 56713e2 (#479), in which adopt's `plan` takes the tracking branch from the source's default branch. Git reported no conflict and `docs/cli.md` auto-merged; the merge has no hand edit. Two kinds of test failed on it, and two commits fix them:
- **`7968f902`** changes one expected literal, at `tests/test_adopt_github_exits.py:675`, for `test_a_source_on_another_branch_opens_its_pull_request_against_it[master]` and `[trunk]`.
  - The test reads the adopted root's `project.yaml`, which this branch's template renders as `tracking_branch: "master"`, so it now expects the quoted line.
  - The look-alike lines at `:743` and `tests/test_adopt_tracking_branch.py:73-76` read a plan, which `adopt-project.py` writes bare, and they stay as they are.
- **`e5e768bc`** adds `git("branch", branch, cwd=source)` to `tests/test_template_text_placeholders.py::test_an_adoption_reads_back_every_value_it_was_given`.
  - All six rows had failed at `check` with `plan-tracking-branch-missing`: #479 refuses a tracking branch (`2026`, `007`, `1.5`, `20261011`, `true`, `null`) the source does not have, and the test's source had only `main`.
  - The source now carries each row's branch, in the flag rows and the by-hand rows alike. The test's assertions are unchanged.

Targeted runs, Linux only:
- On e5e768b: main's seven changed test files, 211 passed; this branch's sixteen-file set, 1223 passed, 2 skipped.
- On 7968f90: the same sixteen files gave 6 failed, which are the six rows e5e768b fixes. The scaffold, setup, doctor and family set gave 1094 passed, 22 skipped, and twelve further template-grep files gave 1259 passed.
- `render-cli-reference.py --check` is ok.

**Composition, refreshed 2026-10-13 (head 6cbbac6).** `d651b594` merges origin/main `aa4e1f59` (#508) into `d526f768`.

- **The one conflict.** Git conflicted in one file, `tests/test_adopt_manifest_values.py`, in four hunks, all against #356 (965420b, #293/#294). #356 refuses an `elected_on:` that `election_date` does not read, as `election-date-malformed`, before the validator is asked (`_manifest_values` returns None, adopt-project.py:2258).
- **Resolved by what the merged tree prints**, measured with `adopt-project.py plan`/`check`/`execute` into local bare remotes:
  - `id: "007"` checks clean and `execute` writes it as typed, so it stays in `TEXT_THE_TEMPLATE_NOW_HOLDS`.
  - `visibility: "true"` gets the validator's `manifest-visibility: visibility is 'true'`.
  - `elected_on: "20261011"` gets #294's one finding, "the plan's `elected_on:` is the text '20261011'", and the validator is not asked. That row keeps this branch's list, `TEXT_THE_VALIDATOR_REFUSES`, with main's sentence.
  - Two tests git merged cleanly now ask `said_of`, as main's own rows do: `test_check_refuses_a_text_value_the_validator_refuses` and `test_where_a_misread_rule_judges_the_rest_the_validator_still_answers`.
- **Two more failures that no hunk showed**, fixed in the same merge:
  - `[branch-tilde]` in `tests/test_scaffold_manifest_values.py` was this branch's own `xfail(strict=True)` until #355 landed as 6c2a371, so it XPASSed. The mark is off, and the row asserts `REFUSED scaffold-bad-tracking-branch:`.
  - #391's `tests/test_bootstrap_spelling.py` and #490's `tests/test_bootstrap_after_bump.py` matched `    path: spec` and `tracking_branch: main` in a scaffolded `project.yaml`, and nine cases failed on the merge. They now match the quoted lines.
- **The #507 interplay.** `6cbbac60` switches the holder to `family/members` before the real `add`s in `test_a_member_whose_id_yaml_would_misread_is_pinned_under_that_id`, so the test holds once PR #507's `family-on-tracking-branch` refusal lands.
  - On the clean merge of 6cbbac6 with #507's head 708f3bb, that file, all 13 `tests/test_family*.py` and `tests/test_shape_doctor.py::test_a_sibling_at_the_right_origin_with_another_id_is_not_the_member` give 686 passed, 19 skipped.
  - Without the switch line, the member test fails `REFUSED family-on-tracking-branch`.
- **Targeted runs on 6cbbac6, Linux only:**
  - the template, adopt-plan and manifest files (14): 995 passed, 2 skipped;
  - scaffold e2e, setup, the doctor, leg-path collisions and every family file: 1094 passed, 22 skipped;
  - the 15 further files a grep for template lines found: 1503 passed;
  - `render-cli-reference.py --check`: ok.
- **Re-verified independently** at d651b59 and 6cbbac6: APPROVE WITH NITS (0/0/3), all three in this paragraph and fixed here. The re-verification also ran the three rows, five mutations, and 26 more files (834 passed; 291 passed, 1 skipped).
- **Not run locally:** the full suite, macOS and Windows; CI's three jobs are the check.

**Composition, as measured on 2026-10-12.** The merge trees below were computed for 233dc71; the follow-up commit 3894aa8 changes only `scripts/family.py` comments and adds tests. At 15:28Z main was 3ae0109 (#245, #351, #350 and #345 had landed since the merge trees): 3894aa8 merges clean with it, and the review's re-verify ran the family tests on that merge (61 passed). Every sha below is the one it had then; main and the other branches have moved since.

`git merge-tree --write-tree --name-only`, run after a fetch with automatic maintenance off on 2026-10-12:

- **origin/main 161c6c9**, 17 commits past c7c02fa (the base): clean, tree 7ba8246. #316 (34ecbc2), #317, #318, #311 and #245 were on main by then.
- **The 46 other remote branch heads** (the 30 open PR heads and 16 branches with no open PR): clean for 44. Among them #314 (4b8da3d), #266 (3410be7), #355 (a03abcf), lane 1's `fix/adopt-plan-quote-yaml-keywords` (d38e143), `fix/adopt-record-submodule-placement` (70f4d29) and `fix/adopt-late-failure-notice` (9f1778d), #380 (73068a3), and `fix/family-init-values` (14e2d68, #307). The two that conflict, each in the same file as it does with c7c02fa and with origin/main on its own: lane 1's `fix/adopt-root-kept-symlinks` (6c44591, `adopt-project.py`) and #358 `fix/doctor-manifest-kinds-unreadable-pin` (ebffb08, `shape-doctor.py`). This branch touches neither file.
- #314 and d38e143 each conflicted with origin/main on their own, in `adopt-project.py`. Merged with this branch, neither gained a conflict.

**Composition with #314, which lands before this branch.** Its misread gate (`manifest_misreads`) reads the template, so once the template quotes a field it refuses nothing there, and some of #314's tests expected that refusal.

Composing with #314 (landed as 3ef059c), whose misread gate asks the template how a value is written. With `project.yaml` quoting `id`, `elected_on`, `visibility` and `tracking_branch`, the gate refuses nothing on the shipped templates, and 45 of #314's tests flipped on the merge. Forty expected a refusal the value no longer needs. Thirty-four of them now assert that the value is accepted, and the six whose premise was a bare placeholder now assert that no shipped template placeholder is misread. For example: a scaffold of `--id null|true|false|007|2026`, or of `--tracking-branch true|True|TRUE|false|False|null|Null|NULL|007|2026|1.5|1.50|0`, exits 0, and the manifest holds the text it was given. A dry run prints the plan. An id derived from `--project True|Null` is held as typed. `--id=null` reaches `gh repo create`. Adopt's `id: "007"` checks clean and `execute` writes it as typed. The rule's own sentence, remediation and line-break wording are still asserted, on a copy of the standard whose `project.yaml` writes the four lines bare. Four stay refused by #314's validator gate, now in its words about the text: `visibility is 'true'` and `elected_on is '20261011'`. One is a real break. `--tracking-branch=~` reads back as `~`, which git refuses as a branch name, and it dies at `git init -b ~`, after `gh repo create`. That is #283, so the row is `xfail(strict=True)` with that reason, and it turns XPASS (and fails) once PR #355's `git check-ref-format --branch` refusal lands. `--help` for `--id` and `--tracking-branch` no longer says such values are refused, and `docs/cli.md` is regenerated.

**Composition with the other branches.** Where another branch's rules meet this one, the tests were run on the merged tree. Quoting changes what some of their tests see, and the changes are not all one kind: some tests expected a refusal the value no longer needs, some are still refused under another rule, and some guard a case quoting does not fix. Whoever lands second must tell them apart, so each branch's flips are classified below.

- **#266** (lane 2, `fix/leg-path-yaml-scalars`). 27 flips, all from one cause: its rule asks a hard-coded bare line, `LEG_PATH_LINE = "path: {}\n"`, so it refuses leg paths the quoted templates now read back. 15 are `test_the_rule_agrees_with_every_template_line_that_holds_a_leg_path` (null, Null, NULL, ~, true, True, TRUE, false, False, FALSE, 2026, 007, 0, 1.5, 1.50) and 12 are this branch's own end-to-end tests (6 scaffold rows fail with `REFUSED scaffold-bad-leg-path`, 6 adopt rows with `FINDING plan-bad-leg-path`). Counted on the merge with b2b42f8. #266's head was then 3410be7, whose rule reads each template line that holds a leg path, renders the value into it as `render` does and asks the reader, so it has no hard-coded line left. The merge with this branch was clean (tree 1e348c6); that head was read and the 27 were not re-run on it. At b2b42f8, whichever of #266 and #259 landed second had to drop or re-point the bare rule; 3410be7 re-points it already.
- **Lane 1's #181** (`fix/adopt-plan-quote-yaml-keywords`, d38e143). Its gate reads the template too, so `plan --tracking-branch 2026|007|true` exits 0 on the composed tree (exit 2 `adopt-manifest-misread` on d38e143). On the merge, `tests/test_adopt_plan_yaml_quoting.py` and this branch's 6 adopt end-to-end tests give 70 failed, 371 passed:
  - 57 refusals that are now unnecessary: `plan_refuses` ×14, `plan_names_an_id` ×2, `check_names_an_id` ×4, `check_reports` ×14 and `execute_refuses` ×14 (every value except `elected_on` and `visibility`), `text_the_loader_reads_as_other_text` ×7, and the two tests that need a bare placeholder (`test_the_gate_follows_the_loader_when_the_loader_learns_a_keyword`, `test_the_template_line_says_whether_a_value_is_quoted`).
  - 11 guards #181 loses. See "Do not flip".
  - 2 that fail only by cascade: `execute_refuses[pins='null']` and `[pins='True']` pass alone (`2 passed`). An earlier case no longer refuses, and its `execute` pushes the split branch.
  - The writer half of #181 (`y` asking the reader, so `true`/`null`/`True` are quoted in the plan) is still needed and composes cleanly. With it, `plan --tracking-branch true` reaches the quoted template intact, and this branch's two hand-quoted adopt rows become flag-driven.
- **Do not flip these 12 to "accepted".** Each still needs a refusal or a finding, and quoting does not supply it:
  - **`~` (1, #314).** `test_a_value_the_reader_misreads_is_refused_before_anything_is_made[branch-tilde]`. `--tracking-branch=~` is not a branch name git accepts, and #314 refused it only as a misread. On the merge it passes the plan and dies at `git init -q --bare -b ~ .../Atlas-spec.git` with `fatal: invalid initial branch name: '~'`, and against GitHub that is after `gh repo create` has made all three repositories. That is lane 2's #283 (PR #355). `~` must stay refused, by #283's ref-name check, which is why #314's row for it is not flipped to "accepted".
  - **A hand-edited plan value that is not text (7, #181).** `test_check_names_a_plan_value_that_is_not_text_by_what_was_read[tracking_branch='007']`, `[tracking_branch='TRUE']`, `[tracking_branch='1.50']`, `[tracking_branch='[a]']`, `[visibility='{a: b}']`, `[id='007']` and `[elected_on='20260902']`. The plan's reader reads each as something other than text, and on the merge `check` passes. Measured on the merge: `tracking_branch: 007` and `id: 007` are adopted silently as `"7"` with every validator passing; `visibility: {a: b}` pushes both legs and then fails `manifest-visibility`; `tracking_branch: [a]` is still refused at `execute` (`unsafe-value`) before any leg exists. On d38e143 alone, `check` exits 1 `plan-manifest-misread` for each of those four. Re-point the gate at "a plan value that is not a string" and these keep their guard.
  - **A quoted value the validator refuses (4, #181).** `test_check_reports_a_plan_carrying_one[elected_on='20260902']` and `[visibility='true']`, and `test_execute_refuses_a_plan_carrying_one_before_any_leg_exists[elected_on='20260902']` and `[visibility='true']`. The value stays invalid for the validator (`DATE_RE`, the visibility choices), and #181's misread gate caught it only incidentally. On the composed tree `check` passes and `execute` pushes the legs, and the gate fails afterwards. That is what main does today, and #314's validator gate (`plan-manifest-invalid`) would catch it.
- **main** (merge with ab623dd, tree cdeec7f, run by the review): this branch's new file, `test_adopt_template_values.py` (#270), `test_template_values_single_pass.py` (#316) and `test_template_quoted_values.py` give 431 passed, 1 skipped. The skip is `test_adopt_template_values.py:223`, which reads `git config user.name` and skips where the shared repository's `.git/config` sets one; it is environmental. The changed tests with `test_family_add_refusals.py` (#317, #318), `test_pin_validator.py` and `test_manifest_validator.py` give 132 passed. #270's `unwritable_reason` is value-based, not template-relative, so it refuses as it did and nothing flips. Main then added #245 (`adopt-project.py` and `repo_shape.remote_key`), which adds no test that edits a bare quoted line; it was not run on that merge.
- **#380** (lane 3, `fix/pin-rewrite-indentation`; it landed since as 1f90a0f). It rewrites `commit:` and `tree_sha256:` only, and its tests render the pins from the templates. On the merge at dc0fa7b, `test_pin_rewrite_layout.py` and the 6 scaffold end-to-end tests gave 121 passed. Its head was then 73068a3; that merge was clean and was not re-run.
- **#397** (`fix/family-init-values`, #307; measured at 14e2d68): its tests skip themselves where the template quotes. 137 passed, 19 skipped, 0 failed. With its fix-round head abb27e6, this branch's 3894aa8, main 0f67f7b and #345 together: 442 passed, 20 skipped (the 19 rows, and one Windows-only row).
- **#345** (run at 875d802; it has since landed as 3ae0109): `test_family_dry_run.py` and the member test, 22 passed. Its `"    id: irrs"` assertion holds, because ordinary ids stay bare.

**Left out.**

- The adoption plan writer `y` still writes `true`/`null` bare into the plan. That is #181 (lane 1).
- `templates/assembly-root/contracts/neutral-product-pin.yaml` still writes `product`, `source_repository` and `digest_source` bare, and `family.py` writes a member row's `project:` bare. Neither is a #259 field.
- A plan value someone edits to a non-text type (`tracking_branch: 007` or `id: 007`, unquoted, in the plan) is read by the plan's reader as the number 7. `str()` makes it `"7"`, and the quoted template now writes it faithfully. For `id` this is a change: on c7c02fa a bare `id: 007` failed loudly (`validate-manifest: manifest-id`, manifest line `id: 7`), and on this branch it is adopted silently as id `"7"` and every validator passes. `tracking_branch: 007` was already adopted silently as `7`. The plan side is not this branch's: the guard against it belongs with #181 (adopt plan writes YAML keywords and non-text values unquoted), whose gate should refuse a plan value that is not a string. The case is narrow, because `plan --id 007` itself writes `id: "007"`; only a hand edit reaches it.
- No docs change: README, AGENTS.md, the handbook and the template comments show none of these lines; `docs/cli.md` is unchanged because no `--help` text changed.

Reviewed adversarially at 233dc71 (CHANGES NEEDED: 0 blockers, 2 should-fixes, 6 nits; the code and the tests were sound, and the should-fixes were the composition counts and the claim about a hand-edited plan `id`). Fix round 3894aa8 changes no behaviour: it corrects the description and the two false "moves by a byte" claims, and guards `_member_id`'s `except YamlError` with a test of 7 cases. Its re-verification at 3894aa8 found every finding handled: APPROVE WITH NITS (0 blockers, 0 should-fixes, 1 nit: shas that had moved since the description was written, refreshed here). What was added after that re-verification, main and the composition with #314, is described under "Composition with #314". An independent re-verification of that composition at 77cd0b2 confirmed it with nits only (0 blockers, 0 should-fixes, 5 nits): the 45 flips reproduce test for test, breaking the real rule or the real template's quoting turns the compose tests red, and the `[branch-tilde]` row XPASSes on a merge with #355.

**Composition with #381.** #395's quoted `id: "{{PROJECT_ID}}"` composes with #381's `member-duplicate-id` test (`tests/test_family_add_member_id.py`), whose id rewrite now matches the id bare or quoted and keeps its quoting, so the full suite, which failed that one test on Linux at 1ef3310, no longer fails `test_a_member_whose_id_changes_between_the_probe_and_the_mount_is_unwound` on Linux.

CI is green on Linux, macOS and Windows, with SonarCloud passing, at 4984651 (main cc8f2da merged in by update-branch). Main af01068 (#505), which landed after, touches none of its files, and the combined tree passed the template, hygiene, CLI-reference, AGENTS.md-codes and setup tests (807 passed).

Closes #259

…`scripts/siblings.py` is absent, and update-shape.py says the Makefile it copies calls it, so a holder updated without `--add` no longer fails on `can't open file` (#489) (#503)

A family holder cut before 2026-09-09 (#76) has no `scripts/siblings.py`. Updating it the way AGENTS.md prescribes, `update-shape.py apply` without `--add scripts/siblings.py`, still copies the changed Makefile, and that Makefile's `siblings`, `park` and `resume` targets run the script. `apply` exited 0, `validate-family.py` was green, only `note ... not added` was printed, and then all three targets died on `python3: can't open file '.../scripts/siblings.py'`.

This takes the issue's second option, which keeps per-file consent and never leaves a dead target. `apply` still refuses nothing, copies the Makefile and adds nothing it was not told to.

**What changed**
- `templates/family-root/Makefile`: each of the three targets asks make itself, `$(wildcard scripts/siblings.py)`, whether the script is there, and when it is not it refuses by name with `$(error)`: exit 2, one shared message, and no shell involved (no `test -f`, no `echo`), so the answer is the same wherever make runs. The message says what is missing, that `update-shape.py` adds a file only on the human's word, `python3 update-shape.py check --root "<this holder>"` to read the verdict, then the apply command it prints with `--add scripts/siblings.py`, and, for a holder that took the script and then deleted it (where `check` says `copy-missing` and `--add` refuses a pinned path), to restore it from the holder's history instead. With the file there, each recipe is what it was: same command line, same arguments.
- `update-shape.py`: `check` and `apply` say, on the line that already reports the file, that the Makefile calls it. `check` appends it to the `upstream-added` detail and `apply` to its `note ... not added` line. It is a table (`CALLED_BY_A_COPY`) with one row, and it speaks when the calling copy is `upstream-changed` (the one verdict `apply` writes on its own: "the Makefile that `apply` copies calls it, so `make siblings`, `make park` and `make resume` cannot run until it is added") or `unchanged` (the holder after that first `apply`, pinned at the target, where every later `check` and `apply` still finds the script `upstream-added`: "this root's Makefile already calls it, so ... cannot run until it is added"). A `locally-modified` or `both` Makefile says nothing. Nothing is refused and the exit codes are unchanged.
- `AGENTS.md`, item 6 of the family section: one clause, in place, with the same line count, so the file stays at its cap (490/490). It keeps "per file": `apply --add scripts/siblings.py` takes it on the human's word, per file, and without it `make siblings`, `park` and `resume` refuse.

**Evidence**
- Reproduced on `main` (7a8b981) with a real holder cut at 0170edd, the commit the issue names, local remotes and a stub `gh`: `check` says `Makefile` `upstream-changed` and `scripts/siblings.py` `upstream-added`; `apply` without `--add` exits 0 with `family ok`; `make siblings`, `make park` and `make resume` each print `can't open file` and exit 2.
- On this head, the same holder: `check` and `apply` carry the sentence above, `apply` still exits 0, and the three targets exit 2 with `make <verb> needs scripts/siblings.py, which this holder does not have. ...` and no `can't open file`. With `apply --add scripts/siblings.py` all three exit 0 and run the real script.
- `tests/test_family_makefile_siblings.py` (new, 31 tests; skipped only where `make` is absent) cuts a holder from a standard before #76 (a clone with no `scripts/siblings.py`, its copy-list entries stripped and the v0.4 Makefile: built, not read from history, so a shallow clone runs it), updates it to this checkout's bytes with `apply` with and without `--add`, and runs the three targets in each. It also runs the Makefile alone: the refusal is one message for the three targets, it needs no shell (`SHELL=/nonexistent` still refuses), `make -n` refuses too, the present-script path calls the script with the arguments it always had, `help`, `bootstrap`, `validate` and `pins` are untouched, and `CALLED_BY_A_COPY` is held to the template. It also covers a second `check` and a second `apply` on a holder already at the target (the `unchanged` clause), and the `copy-missing` sentence in the refusal. It carries no `WINDOWS_SKIP`, unlike `tests/test_park_resume_targets.py`: the refusal needs no shell, and `windows-latest` ships a GNU make (the runner-images install script copies `mingw32-make.exe` to `make.exe`), so the tests are expected to run on all three runners. CI's logs are quiet-mode, so they do not show whether they ran.
- Mutation checks, run in a throwaway clone of the head: with the Makefile reverted to `origin/main`'s, 13 of the 31 fail (the refusal tests, the one-message and no-shell tests, `make -n`, and every `make` run on the updated holder, which print `can't open file` again). With `update-shape.py` reverted, 9 fail (the `check` and `apply` sentence, the `left_dead_by` cases and the table). Taking only the `unchanged` branch out of `left_dead_by` fails 2 (the unit case and the second `check`/`apply`), and taking only the `copy-missing` sentence out of the Makefile fails 3 (the refusal test, once per verb).
- No static digest of the family-root Makefile exists in the repository: `git grep` of its sha256 finds nothing, and every `shape-pin.yaml` row is rendered from the bytes at `init` and `apply`. A holder's pinned digest moves with the file, as for any template change.

**Tests**
All at 49330dc (origin/main 5a25387 merged in), with a stub `gh` first on PATH, a bogus token, an empty `gh` config directory and the git identity blanked:
- `tests/test_family_makefile_siblings.py`: 31 passed.
- `tests/test_update_shape*.py` (seven files), the new file, `tests/test_park_resume_targets.py`, `tests/test_repo_hygiene.py`, `tests/test_agents_md_codes.py` and `tests/test_cli_reference.py`: 438 passed, 3 skipped (the NTFS-junction cases, Windows only).
- every `tests/test_family*.py` and `tests/test_shape_doctor.py` (the doctor loads `update-shape.py` in process): 842 passed, 11 skipped (`tests/test_family_init_values.py:242`, which the file documents, and the doctor's PowerShell line, which prints only on a Windows host).

At 44000f6, after GitHub's update-branch merged main af01068 (no hand edit), the same sets ran again with the same stubs. The update-shape set, which now has eight files with #374's `tests/test_update_shape_next_quoting.py`: 535 passed, 3 skipped. Every `tests/test_family*.py` and `tests/test_shape_doctor.py`: 858 passed, 11 skipped. That head was then merged with main 47b1e06 (#395, the templates quote their text placeholders) as a local gate commit. On it, the two sets, together with `tests/test_template_text_placeholders.py`, gave 1481 passed, 25 skipped.

**Merge-tree.** At 49330dc, which contains `origin/main` 5a25387 (merged as f08129d), `git merge-tree --write-tree` is clean against `origin/main`, against every open pull-request head that touches `AGENTS.md`, `update-shape.py` or `templates/family-root/` (#347, #374, #395, #465, #474), and against lane 5's `fix/family-commands-and-branch` (10c93de, #486-#488). #491 conflicts only in `docs/handbook.html`, as it does with `origin/main`. The trees merged with #474 and with `fix/family-commands-and-branch` were run: the new test file and the neighbouring suites pass on both, and `AGENTS.md` stays at 490 lines.

**Review.** An independent review at 8643774 gave APPROVE WITH NITS (0 blockers, 0 should-fixes, 5 nits). It reproduced the defect on `main` and the fix on this head, and ran 10 mutations, all of them caught. Round 2 (49330dc) took four of the nits: the test file's docstrings say where it runs; the refusal also covers a holder that deleted a pinned `scripts/siblings.py`; AGENTS.md keeps "per file"; and a later `check` on a holder already at the target names the Makefile that calls the script. The fifth nit was this description. Re-verified at 49330dc: APPROVE WITH NITS (0/0/1). That nit was this description's merge-tree paragraph, now as above.

**Left out**
- `apply` does not refuse to take the Makefile without the script (the issue's first option), and it does not take the script on its own: both break per-file consent.
- The holder's `AGENTS-shape.md` and `README.md` are pinned copies and say nothing about this; editing them moves every holder's digests for a sentence the Makefile's own refusal already carries. README and the handbook are untouched.
- The doctor's `shape currency` row does not carry the sentence and is unchanged; the per-file detail line of `check` and `apply`'s note do, and the Makefile's own refusal covers the moment of use.
- The refusal is written for GNU make. macOS ships 3.81: the guard uses only `$(if)`, `$(call)`, `$(wildcard)` and `$(error)`, which 3.81 documents. It was run on 4.3 here. CI's `tests`, `tests-macos` and `tests-windows` and SonarCloud all passed at 8643774, and again at ca4778e (49330dc with main 48585e6 merged in by GitHub's update-branch), at 6fe17be (main 57c85e9 merged in the same way, after #474 changed `update-shape.py`; no hand edit) and at 44000f6 (main af01068 merged in the same way, after #374 changed `update-shape.py` and #491 and #505 changed `AGENTS.md`; no hand edit).

Reviewed independently at 8643774: APPROVE WITH NITS (0/0/5). Round 2 (49330dc) took the four code nits, and its re-verification gave APPROVE WITH NITS (0/0/1), the description's merge-tree paragraph, now updated. CI is green on Linux, macOS and Windows, with SonarCloud passing, at 44000f6 (main af01068 merged in by update-branch). Main 47b1e06 (#395), which landed after, touches none of its files, and the combined tree passed the family, doctor, update-shape and hygiene tests (1481 passed, 25 skipped).

Closes #489

…s a runnable `scripts/family.py`, printed commands quote paths, and `add`, `bump` and `remove` refuse the tracking branch and print their branch's push (#488, #486, #487) (#507)

Three defects from lane 3's v1.0.0 acceptance pass of AGENTS.md's "Creating a family, and adding a member", one commit each, in this order, then one review commit for #486 and one for #487. All three change `scripts/family.py` and `add`'s NEXT line, so they are one pull request.

**What was wrong.**
- AGENTS.md spelled the command `python3 scripts/family.py init --org <org> --family <Name>`, a path that runs from the standard's root. `--into` defaults to where the person stands.
- So the command, followed exactly, printed `landing <standard>/Orbit/Orbit` with no word, and `make siblings` would then clone every member into the standard's checkout too.
- `init`'s NEXT STEPS printed `python3 family.py add …`, built from `Path(__file__).name`. From the root that fails `can't open file`, exit 2.

**What changed** (commit 1).
- With neither `--into` nor `--work-dir`, `init` refuses a landing inside a checkout of openRepoShape: `family-landing-in-standard`. A checkout is a directory holding `scripts/family.py` beside `templates/family-root/`, found in the landing's ancestry, so another clone or an install counts too.
  - The refusal comes before anything is created, under `--dry-run` alike.
  - The remedy names `--into ..` from the root. From deeper inside the checkout it names the relative path that reaches the checkout's parent.
  - An explicit `--into` or `--work-dir` is not second-guessed. `family-holder-already-here` is still asked first.
- NEXT STEPS, and the `family-holder-already-here` remedy, name this file relative to the directory `init` ran in. From the root that is `scripts/family.py`, as setup-project.py, validate-family.py, AGENTS.md and README spell it. It is absolute where no relative path exists.
- AGENTS.md's init command passes `--into ..`, as README's already does, and step 1 says why. The edit is line-neutral: step 1 is one line shorter.
- `init --into --help` says it too, and docs/cli.md is regenerated.

**How tested.** `tests/test_family_init_landing.py`, 9 tests:
- the old command from the root is refused, as a dry run, so nothing can land in the checkout;
- a real run inside a fake checkout creates nothing;
- the remedy from a subdirectory names the right parent;
- an explicit `--into .` or `--work-dir .` passes;
- outside a checkout the default is unchanged;
- AGENTS.md's line, as written, lands beside the checkout;
- the printed NEXT runs, both from the root and from elsewhere.

On origin/main code 6 of them fail. Removing the refusal turns 3 red, and putting `Path(__file__).name` back turns 2 red.

**What was wrong.** `family.py` and the holder's `siblings.py` printed every path in their pasteable commands bare. Under a holder at `…/my work/Sonata/Sonata`:
- the `member-git-dir-cached` remedy `rm -rf <store>` split into `rm -rf …/my`, an absolute directory that is NOT the store, and a relative `work/…`;
- `init`'s NEXT STEPS and `add`'s NEXT split `--family-root` and `git -C` (`fatal: cannot change to '…/my'`, exit 128);
- the `mv` lines for a misnamed family folder pasted as four arguments.

**What changed** (commit 2, and the review commit after #487's).
- `scripts/repo_shape.py` gains `shell_quoted(value, platform=None)` and `shell_line(words, platform=None)`, in a new section at its end, the library `family.py` already imports.
  - It is the doctor's `quote_arg` rule (#101/#102): the same two alphabets, and the same two escapes, `sh`'s `'\''` and PowerShell's doubled apostrophe. The dialect comes from `os.name` or a `platform` argument. An ordinary word is left bare.
  - It does not flatten to ASCII, as the doctor's report does by contract. A command that deletes or moves a directory has to name that directory. So PowerShell's typographic single quotes are doubled too.
  - A word that begins with `=` is quoted, in both dialects. zsh, macOS's login shell, expands a bare `=word` to a command's path (`=ls` reaches the command as `/bin/ls`). This is the one place it differs from the doctor's rule on ASCII.
- `family.py`:
  - `init`'s NEXT STEPS print the `add` on ONE line. It used to paste only into a POSIX shell, because of its `\` continuation. `cd <holder>` and `make siblings` are two lines, with no `&&`, which Windows PowerShell 5.1 rejects between two statements.
  - Those lines and the `family-holder-already-here` remedy quote every path.
  - `add`'s NEXT quotes `git -C <holder>`, and `member-path-taken` quotes each spelling it names.
  - `member-git-dir-cached`, and `remove`'s note about the same store, print the directory alone on its own line. Then comes `rm -rf` with its one argument quoted for the POSIX shell `rm -rf` belongs to, and the sentence names that shell: Git Bash on Windows. PowerShell refuses `-rf` and deletes nothing.
- `siblings.py`: the parent-folder warning's `mv` and `mkdir -p` lines are quoted for a POSIX shell with the standard library's `shlex.join`, and the warning says which shell. It does NOT import the new quoter: a holder that kept its own `repo_shape.py` through `update-shape.py apply --accept-local` takes the new `siblings.py` without it, and an import of a name its copy lacks stopped `make siblings`, `park` and `resume` with an ImportError that `check` and the validator never reported.
- `setup-project.py`'s family hand-over quotes the holder in its `add` line (and names the branch first, see #487). It runs before any checkout of the standard exists, so it carries its own copy of the rule, and a test holds that copy to `shell_quoted`.

**How tested.** `tests/test_family_printed_quoting.py`, 69 tests:
- The quoter round-trips through `shlex.split`, and through a PowerShell reader, for a space and an apostrophe, `é` and a typographic apostrophe, shell syntax, the empty string, and every printable ASCII character alone and before, inside and after a word.
- The host's own `sh`, `bash` and `zsh` hand each quoted word back byte for byte through `printf`, a leading `=` among them (skipped where a shell is absent, and on Windows).
- It agrees with the doctor's `quote_arg` on every one of those ASCII values but a leading `=`, and its two alphabets are the doctor's two patterns.
- Under a holder in `my work` and in `Dana's work`, each of these splits into the argv it means: `init`'s NEXT (with `cd` and `make siblings` on their own lines), `add`'s NEXT, the cached-store remedy and note, the `mv` lines, and setup-project's `switch` and `add`.
  - The `rm -rf`, run as split, deletes the store, and the decoy `<tmp>/my` survives.
  - The `mv` lines, run as split, move the holder.
- The holder's own `siblings.py` runs `--help`, the misnamed-folder warning and `--make park` beside a `repo_shape.py` that lacks every name this change added.
- Three existing tests' expected lines follow the new wording.

Mutations, each turning tests red:
- a bare quoter: 35 red;
- bare `mv` lines in `siblings.py`: 3 red;
- a bare `rm -rf`, a bare `add` NEXT, a bare `init` `add` (round 1, on the 85-test file): 2 red each;
- `siblings.py` importing `shell_line` again: 1 red (the older-`repo_shape.py` test);
- `%` dropped from the POSIX alphabet: 2 red (the every-ASCII agreement and the alphabet test). The round-1 sample test passed it, 36 of 36;
- a leading `=` left bare: 10 red, among them the real-`zsh` test;
- `cd … && make siblings` back on one line: 2 red;
- setup-project's holder unquoted: 2 red.

**What was wrong.**
- AGENTS.md says each act's ONE commit lands as a pull request, and no step made the branch that pull request needs.
- After `init` the holder stands on `main`, and all three acts committed straight onto it.
- `add` printed `NEXT  git -C <holder> push -u origin <branch> && open a pull request`. No branch is called `<branch>`, so the push failed: `src refspec … does not match any`.
- `bump` and `remove` printed no NEXT at all.
- `bump-leg.py` refuses exactly this for a leg (`bump-leg-on-tracking-branch`).

**What changed** (commit 3, and the review commit after it).
- The real run of each act refuses the holder's tracking branch, the one `family.yaml` declares (`family-on-tracking-branch`), and a HEAD on no branch (`family-holder-detached`, which is what `bump-leg.py`'s `bump-leg-root-detached` refuses too).
  - The check comes after the refusals about the arguments and the holder, and before the member is read, fetched or cloned, and before anything is written.
  - The remedy is a quoted `git -C <holder> switch -c <branch>`. The branch is `family/add-<project>`, `family/bump-<id>-<sha12>` or `family/remove-<id>`, and a name that is not a plain branch word becomes `member`.
- `--dry-run` runs on any branch. On a work branch it prints where the commit would land. On the tracking branch it prints that the real run refuses there, with the refusal's code, and the `switch` command on a line of its own. The module's EXIT CODES paragraph names this as the one refusal a dry run does not make.
- Each act that commits ends with ONE pasteable line: `NEXT  git -C <holder> push -u origin <the branch it committed on>`, quoted, then `then open a pull request against <tracking>; never push to it directly`. `bump` and `remove` gain that NEXT.
- `init`'s NEXT STEPS open with the `switch` before the `add`.
- `add`, `bump` and `remove` `--help` say the branch rule, and that each ends by PRINTING the push; docs/cli.md is regenerated.
- AGENTS.md's family block gains the `switch` step before the `add`, and step 3 says the tracking branch is refused, as `family-on-tracking-branch`, and that the branch is pushed as its NEXT line says. README's InkRouter block gains the same step, and its paragraph says it. Both edits are line-neutral: AGENTS.md tightens steps 2 and 5, and README tightens the `make bootstrap` paragraph. `docs/handbook.html` mirrors the block and the sentence, and its footer names #487 and the new README blob.
- The holder's own docs, `templates/family-root/AGENTS-shape.md` and `templates/family-root/README.md`, open their add/bump/remove block with the `switch` and say the act refuses the tracking branch. `setup-project.py`'s family hand-over prints the `switch` before its `add`.
- Test fixtures that committed on `main` now commit on a branch:
  - `tests/test_family.py`'s module fixture grows the family on `family/members` and pushes that branch to the remote's `main`, as the merged pull request would leave it;
  - `test_shape_doctor.py`'s holder fixture and `test_family_add_excludes.py`'s `empty_holder` switch to a branch;
  - `test_family_add_refusals.py` changes in four places: the `NEXT` expectation, `unborn_holder`, the empty-family test, and the corrupt-HEAD test. In that last test, the tag state's branch check is answered in-process, because the test is about the rollback's reading of HEAD.

**How tested.** `tests/test_family_tracking_branch.py`, 17 tests:
- For each act, on `main`: refused, with the holder byte for byte as it was, and for `add` nothing cloned. Then the printed `switch`, run as split, makes the branch; the act goes through on it; and its printed NEXT, run as split, pushes the branch, which the remote then holds at the act's commit.
- A detached HEAD is refused.
- Dry runs on `main` and on a branch say what they should.
- A family made with `--tracking-branch trunk` refuses `add` on `trunk`; on a branch named `main` the dry run says the commit lands there for a pull request against `trunk`, the real run commits, and its NEXT pushes `main`.
- The suggested names pass `git check-ref-format --branch`.
- `init`'s NEXT STEPS open with the `switch`.
- AGENTS.md, README.md and the holder's two docs show the `switch` in the same block as, and before, the first `add`.

Mutations, each turning tests red: the branch check letting `main` through, 4 red; the NEXT line naming `<branch>` again, 3 red; `init`'s NEXT STEPS without the `switch`, 1 red; the tracking branch hard-coded to `"main"`, 1 red (the `trunk` test; every family test passed it before); the holder docs without the `switch`, 2 red; setup-project without the `switch`, 2 red.

An independent review at 10c93de gave CHANGES NEEDED (0 blockers, 1 should-fix, 6 nits). The should-fix was a holder that kept an older `scripts/repo_shape.py` through `apply --accept-local`: its new `siblings.py` could not import the shared quoter, so `make siblings`, `park` and `resume` died. The round at bb11b63 fixes it and all six nits, as described above. Re-verified at bb11b63: APPROVE WITH NITS (0 blockers, 0 should-fixes, 3 nits), with SonarCloud's quality gate OK and 0.0% new duplication. The nits were the holder README's pointer to the push (now "as its `NEXT` line says"), two Sonar smells (S1192: `refs/heads/` is now `HEADS_PREFIX`; S3415: the two expected-first assertions now put the actual value first, as the file's other 32 do), and this description's list of other pull requests. All three are fixed at 3451a56: commit 11ae0a8, then a clean merge of main 994be39. The family set gave 566 passed, 8 skipped there. GitHub's update-branch then merged main cac6bb2 as 8e1471c, and main aa4e1f5 (#508, after #490, #474 and #468) was merged as 708f3bb. There only the `docs/handbook.html` footer conflicted: it takes main's clauses, #468's (#424) included, with the README blob recomputed, and `docs/cli.md` auto-merged and passes `--check`. Main 47b1e06 (#505 and #395, after #376, #374, #384, #495, #493 and #491) was then merged as fcbc7a2, again with only the footer in conflict: main's clauses stay in main's order, this branch's (#487) moves to the end, after (#483), and the README blob is recomputed.

Every run used `/usr/bin/python3 -m pytest -q -p no:cacheprovider`, with a stub `gh` first on PATH, a bogus `GH_TOKEN`, an empty `GH_CONFIG_DIR` and git's identity blanked. Run on Linux. At e42ef74 (main d41cc29, #402, merged in by GitHub's update-branch), on its tree 655c927: the first set listed below for fcbc7a2, plus every `tests/test_update_shape*.py`, gave **1242 passed, 22 skipped**; the second set, plus `tests/test_leg_path_yaml_scalars.py`, `tests/test_ruleset_hint_tracking_branch.py`, `tests/test_scaffold_reuse_seeded_legs.py`, `tests/test_scaffold_pin_and_reuse.py` and `tests/test_doctor_validator_rows.py`, gave **1260 passed, 12 skipped**. The skips are the same as at 5a2776d, below.

At 22733ce (main 631f087, #503, merged in by GitHub's update-branch): the first set listed below for fcbc7a2, plus every `tests/test_update_shape*.py`, gave **1213 passed, 22 skipped** (the template-quoting skips below, and three NTFS-junction cases, Windows only); the second set gave **944 passed, 4 skipped**.

At fcbc7a2 (origin/main 47b1e06 merged in, with #505 and #395):

- every `tests/test_family*.py`, `tests/test_validate_family*.py`, `tests/test_park_resume_targets.py`, `tests/test_free_plan_hint.py` and `tests/test_template_text_placeholders.py`: **844 passed, 19 skipped** (`tests/test_family_init_values.py:219` and `:291`, which skip because the template now quotes the placeholder and `id:`).

- The new files alone: `test_family_init_landing.py` 9, `test_family_printed_quoting.py` 69, `test_family_tracking_branch.py` 17, all passed.

The full suite was not run locally. CI's three jobs are the check.

#505 and #395 have since landed, and both are merged here at fcbc7a2. Each of #505's family sentences was read against this branch's code, and none is false: AGENTS.md 3 and 233; README 569, 822, 1152, 1269 and 1348; the handbook 1126 and 1506. #395 landed with its test switching to `family/members` before its real `add`, as the last bullet below says, and the first run above includes it. #503 then landed as 631f087, and GitHub's update-branch merged it here as 22733ce with no conflict. Main f391e58 (#266, #509, #496 and #435) was then merged by hand as 5a2776d, again with only the footer in conflict: main's clauses stay in main's order, this branch's (#487) moves after #509's (#498), and the README blob is recomputed; `git show --remerge-diff` shows nothing else. #509's reworded sentences in AGENTS.md, README.md and the handbook were read beside this branch's, and none contradicts or repeats another. Its `setup-project.py` changes (the clone-path check, the plan line, the step-(7) backstop and `_main`) and this branch's `shell_word` lines in the hand-over do not meet, and `docs/cli.md` passes `--check`. Main 8cd7dbe (#506 and #347) was then merged by hand as 654df49, again with only the footer in conflict: this branch's (#487) moves after #506's (#462), the README blob is recomputed, and `docs/cli.md`, which both sides changed, still passes `--check`. #506's two `scripts/family.py` hunks (the `FAMILY_RULESET_HINT` import, and its print when the holder's push is refused) sit unchanged inside this branch's code, and that hint prints no path. Under `--reuse-empty-repo`, `init` still refuses its default `--into` inside a checkout of this standard (`family-landing-in-standard`) before it reads the remote, as a dry run with a stub `gh` showed. #506's sentences in AGENTS.md, README.md and the handbook are still true beside this branch's. Main d41cc29 (#402, for #277), which rewrote the doctor's NEXT lines and `tests/test_shape_doctor.py`, was then merged by GitHub's update-branch as e42ef74, with no conflict; the `holder` fixture still switches to `family/members` before its `add`. AGENTS.md stays at 490 lines and README.md at 1422.

`git merge-tree --write-tree` of 708f3bb, at 04:47Z on 2026-10-13:

- **Clean:** #503 (`fix/family-makefile-without-siblings`) and #395. Each merged tree keeps AGENTS.md at 490 lines and README.md at 1422.
- **`docs/handbook.html` footer only:** #505 (`docs/v1-accuracy`) and #491. #468 has landed and is merged here. #506 conflicts there too, and in `scaffold-project.py`, as it does with main. README.md and AGENTS.md merge clean with #505, and `setup-project.py` merges clean with #491. Whichever lands second keeps every footer clause and recomputes the README blob.
- **#395 merges clean but one of its tests fails with this branch.** `tests/test_template_text_placeholders.py::test_a_member_whose_id_yaml_would_misread_is_pinned_under_that_id` inits its own holder and runs a real `add` on `main`, which #487 refuses with `family-on-tracking-branch`. Whichever of the two lands second adds `git("switch", "-q", "-c", "family/members", cwd=root)` after that test's `init`; lane 5 is adding it on #395's own branch now, so this branch needs no change for it. (#395's head d526f76 also conflicts with this head in `tests/test_adopt_manifest_values.py`, a file this branch does not touch: that is #395 against main, which the same round resolves.)

- On Windows `shell_quoted` speaks PowerShell, the native shell this standard documents (`setup-project.py`), as the doctor's NEXT lines do. `git -C …`, `python scripts\family.py …` and `cd …` are shell-agnostic, so they get the platform's quoting, and no printed line joins two commands with `&&`, which Windows PowerShell 5.1 rejects.
- `rm -rf`, `mv` and `mkdir -p` are POSIX commands. They are quoted for a POSIX shell on every host, and the text says "in a POSIX shell (Git Bash on Windows)". PowerShell refuses `rm -rf`'s `-rf` and deletes nothing.
- The tests split a host-quoted line with a PowerShell reader on Windows and with `shlex` elsewhere, and split a POSIX-only line with `shlex` everywhere. The real-shell test is skipped on Windows.
- On Windows the tests do not execute `rm` or the `mv` lines. They delete the split path with `shutil.rmtree`, and stop after checking the `mv` argv.
- Paths: the cached store keeps git's POSIX spelling (`as_posix`), as before. Test paths are `resolve()`d, which expands an 8.3 short name such as `RUNNER~1`.
- Nothing here was run on Windows or macOS locally. The `tests-windows` and `tests-macos` CI jobs are the check; on macOS the real-shell test runs the shipped `zsh`.

- **A shipped template that imports a newer shared helper can break a holder that kept an older copy.** This change no longer does (`siblings.py` uses `shlex.join`), but nothing stops the next one: `update-shape.py apply --accept-local scripts/repo_shape.py` keeps a `repo_shape.py` that lacks a name a newly copied file imports, and `check` and the validator then read the holder as fine. The general guard is for `apply` to refuse that, as rv456 found for `bootstrap.py` and `spelled` (#456).
- **The doctor's `quote_arg` leaves a word that begins with `=` bare**, which zsh expands. `shell_quoted` quotes it; the doctor is left as it is here, and the agreement test excludes that one case.
- **The doctor and `update-shape.py` keep their own quoters.** The doctor's `quote_arg` flattens to ASCII by its report's contract, so moving it onto `repo_shape.shell_quoted` is more than an import change. `update-shape.py`'s POSIX `shlex` lines are lane 3's open #374. A test holds `shell_quoted` and `quote_arg` to one answer on every printable ASCII value but a leading `=`.
- **`family.py`'s by-hand rollback commands (#365) and its `git config -f .gitmodules` removals (#317, #360) keep `shlex.quote`.** They were already quoted, they are POSIX-only (`printf … | git update-index`), and they are worded for a POSIX shell.
- **The holder's `validate-family.py` remedies that name `family.py add`** (`member-gitlink-absent`, `member-gitlink-unnamed`) print no branch step: they are a holder copy, and the `add` they name refuses the tracking branch with its own `switch` remedy.
- **`remove`'s store note still computes `.git/modules/<path>`** rather than asking `git rev-parse --git-path`, as `add` does. In a linked worktree it therefore prints no note. That predates this change.
- **PowerShell verbs** (`Remove-Item`, `Move-Item`) are not printed for the POSIX-only commands.
- **README's `--into` sentence gives the default but not the refusal.** README.md (861) and the handbook (1246) say `--into <dir>` is the PARENT directory, "the directory you are standing in, by default". They do not say that `init` refuses that default inside a checkout of this standard (`family-landing-in-standard`). AGENTS.md item 1 says so, and the README's own example passes `--into ..`. README.md is at its 1422-line cap, so the sentence is on #459's checklist.
- **`setup-project.py`'s own `cd <clone>` line and its step-(7) backstop lines print their paths unquoted.** This change quotes only the family lines it prints. Those two predate it and #509, and they are on #459's checklist.

Reviewed independently at 10c93de: CHANGES NEEDED (0 blockers, 1 should-fix, 6 nits). The round at bb11b63 fixed the should-fix and all six nits, and its re-verification gave APPROVE WITH NITS (0/0/3), with SonarCloud's quality gate OK; those three are fixed at 3451a56. Main was then merged by GitHub's update-branch (8e1471c), by hand at 708f3bb and at fcbc7a2, where each time only the handbook footer conflicted, and by update-branch again at 22733ce (main 631f087, #503), with no conflict. CI was green there on Linux, macOS and Windows, with SonarCloud passing, but main had moved on: main f391e58 (#266, #509, #496 and #435) was merged by hand at 5a2776d, where again only the footer conflicted. CI was green there too, but main moved on again: main 8cd7dbe (#506 and #347) was merged by hand at 654df49, where once more only the footer conflicted. CI was green there as well, and main d41cc29 (#402) then came in by update-branch at e42ef74, with no conflict. CI is green on Linux and macOS, with SonarCloud passing, at e42ef74, a clean merge of main. All three OSes and SonarCloud passed at 654df49, and under Brett Heap's landing rule of 22:08:06Z (ruling 27) macOS and Windows carry over from that head. Main e6fbd74 (#515, for #514), which landed after it, touches none of its files, and the combined tree passed `tests/test_adopt_pins.py`, `tests/test_shape_doctor.py`, `tests/test_scaffold_leg_path_collisions.py`, the hygiene, AGENTS-code and CLI-reference tests, `tests/test_family_printed_quoting.py` and `tests/test_family_tracking_branch.py` (777 passed, 3 skipped).
