validate-pins.py (assembly-root template): a workflow file under .github/workflows/ that is not UTF-8, or that this user cannot open, is ONE workflow-unreadable refusal naming every such file, exit 2, so the project's pins gate no longer ends in a UnicodeDecodeError traceback, exit 1, with no line naming the file (#359) - #419

Lane: openreposhape-2 (openRepoShape-2)
Claim: #359 (comment)
#343 landed as 437a360; this branch merged its final head 91a4a4f and main (437a360). The PR targets main.

What

scripts/validate-pins.py is the project's own pins gate (make validate, and the pins step of the validate workflow). _workflow_refs read every .yml and .yaml file under .github/workflows/ with read_text(encoding="utf-8") and nothing caught the failure. UnicodeDecodeError is a ValueError and main() handles Refusal alone, so a committed workflow with a Latin-1 # caf\xe9 comment, or saved as UTF-16 with a byte-order mark, ended the run in a traceback, exit 1 (the code this validator uses for a finding), and no line named the file. A file mode 000 ended it in a PermissionError from the same line. A pin that is not UTF-8 was already a clean REFUSED yaml-unreadable, exit 2, because it goes through load_yaml; the workflow read was the one read in the script that did not.

templates/assembly-root/scripts/validate-pins.py now reads each workflow file through _read_workflow, collects the ones it cannot read, and raises ONE Refusal workflow-unreadable (exit 2) after the last file:

  • Every file is named, in one refusal, relative to the root in POSIX spelling (never the absolute path), in the words load_yaml uses: .github/workflows/legs.yml: not UTF-8 at byte 133 (invalid continuation byte). A file this user cannot open is <path>: cannot be read (Permission denied). The first file follows the id on the REFUSED line, so shape-doctor.py's pins row, which quotes that line, names it; the rest follow one to a line, so the operator repairs them in one pass.
  • The remediation says to re-save each file as UTF-8 (a UTF-16 file with a byte-order mark needs converting, not editing), commit it, and run the same command again; for a cannot be read file it says to restore read access, because that is not an encoding failure.
  • Refused, never skipped, never read lossily. A skipped workflow could hide a @<sha> reference that is out of lockstep, which is what the gate exists to find. errors="replace" would call green a tree that the project's other YAML readers refuse.
  • Every file is read whether or not it names a leg: the file is opened before it is known to hold a reference, and a UTF-16 workflow naming no leg stopped the run too. The set is .yml and .yaml files, as before, so a Latin-1 notes.txt beside them is still not read.

The module docstring's EXIT CODES entry for exit 2 now lists the workflow file. --help is unchanged (the parser description is the docstring's first line): scripts/render-cli-reference.py --check says [ok].

Why

The issue's table, reproduced on the base (tools/repro-base-039530b.log, local bare remotes, a stub gh that was never called) and on this head (tools/repro-wip.log):

the root holds, committed base this head
legs.yml naming the spec leg at its pin (control) pins ok, exit 0 same
the same with # caf\xc3\xa9 (UTF-8, control) pins ok, exit 0 same
the same with # caf\xe9 exit 1, UnicodeDecodeError (0xe9, position 133) exit 2, REFUSED workflow-unreadable: .github/workflows/legs.yml: not UTF-8 at byte 133 (invalid continuation byte)
other.yml as UTF-16 with a byte-order mark (names no leg) exit 1, UnicodeDecodeError (0xff, position 0) exit 2, ... other.yml: not UTF-8 at byte 0 (invalid start byte)
two such files exit 1, only the first exit 2, both named
contracts/spec-pin.yaml with # caf\xe9 (control) exit 2, REFUSED yaml-unreadable same
legs.yml mode 000 exit 1, PermissionError exit 2, ... legs.yml: cannot be read (Permission denied)

The pinned copy

The file is a pinned template copy (COPIED_VERBATIM), so a scaffold, an adoption and update-shape.py apply record the sha256 of the bytes they copy in the project's contracts/shape-pin.yaml. Nothing in this repository records that digest (git grep -E '[0-9a-f]{64}' finds only the actionlint download sum in tests.yml), so there is no pin here to move and none was edited by hand. tools/existing-projects-see-upstream-changed.sh proves it with the repository's own tooling:

  • a project cut by scaffold-project.py at the base records c909bddc... for scripts/validate-pins.py, one cut at this change records 6c18c273..., each equal to the sha256sum of the template at that revision;
  • update-shape.py check on the base cut reads exactly one row upstream-changed (scripts/validate-pins.py), ten unchanged; on the head cut all eleven are unchanged;
  • update-shape.py apply on a copy of the base cut exits 0, the row becomes 6c18c273..., and its own validate-pins.py then refuses a Latin-1 workflow with workflow-unreadable, exit 2, where the base cut's ended in the traceback.

So every project already cut sees the copy as upstream-changed until its owner runs update-shape.py apply: the ordinary cost of changing a pinned copy (#289 records it), and the reason this is its own change. #343, which landed as 437a360, moved the same file's digest for its files: change; the two together move it once. templates/family-root/scripts/validate-family.py has no workflow reader (its only reads are load_yaml, which already refuses a non-UTF-8 file by name), so the family holder's copy and its digest are unchanged.

Tests

New tests/test_validate_pins_unreadable_workflow.py, 10 cases over a scaffolded project's own scripts/validate-pins.py, with the workflow written as bytes and committed, so it holds on Windows:

  • Six refusal cases: a Latin-1 comment in the file naming the leg; a UTF-16 file naming no leg; two files, .yml and .yaml, named in one refusal; a stale @<sha> reference in a non-UTF-8 file (refused, neither skipped nor read lossily); a mode-000 file (skipped on Windows and as root, mode restored in a finally); the doctor's pins row naming the file.
  • Four controls: a Latin-1 pin is still yaml-unreadable; a UTF-8 comment gives pins ok; a UTF-8 byte-order mark gives pins ok; a Latin-1 notes.txt that is not a workflow gives pins ok.

Against the base's template (9e6caeb and 039530b hold the same blob; main 437a360's template has the same unguarded read, and the same 6 fail and 4 pass there, tools/s419-new-tests-on-main-437a360.log): 6 failed and 4 passed, every failure the UnicodeDecodeError/PermissionError traceback (tools/new-tests-on-base-039530b.log); the doctor's row said reports a finding (exit 1): UnicodeDecodeError.

Mutants (tools/mutants.sh, each in a detached scratch tree of the head), 5 of 5 killed by the tests of their own line:

mutant tests that fail
M1: the unreadable file is skipped 6
M2: read with errors="replace" 5
M3: only FileNotFoundError caught, so OSError propagates 1 (mode 000)
M4: the refusal names the first file only 1 (two files)
M5: the absolute path in the line 6

Merged #343 and main (after #343 landed)

#343 (issue #290) squash-landed on main as 437a360. This branch was stacked on it (base 9e6caeb), so two merges bring it up to main, with no force-push and no rebase:

  1. b0cbce96, git merge 91a4a4f: update-shape.py read_pin refuses update-pin-row, and the pinned validate-pins.py and validate-family.py report shape-pin-row, when a shape pin's files: is not a list, so files: 5, true or 1.5 no longer ends check, apply, shape-doctor.py and the project's own validator in TypeError: ... is not iterable (#290) #343's final head, clean (merge-tree 91a4a4f 11dff7f was rc 0, tree c581c39).
  2. 7e8bb26c, git merge 437a360: main at this merge, which is update-shape.py read_pin refuses update-pin-row, and the pinned validate-pins.py and validate-family.py report shape-pin-row, when a shape pin's files: is not a list, so files: 5, true or 1.5 no longer ends check, apply, shape-doctor.py and the project's own validator in TypeError: ... is not iterable (#290) #343's squash itself and the shared store's origin/main, so no later main commit needed merging. No textual conflict. The squash changed update-shape.py read_pin refuses update-pin-row, and the pinned validate-pins.py and validate-family.py report shape-pin-row, when a shape pin's files: is not a list, so files: 5, true or 1.5 no longer ends check, apply, shape-doctor.py and the project's own validator in TypeError: ... is not iterable (#290) #343's five files (shape-doctor.py, templates/assembly-root/scripts/validate-pins.py, templates/family-root/scripts/validate-family.py, tests/test_shape_pin_files_not_a_list.py, update-shape.py) by nothing the branch did not already hold: git diff 91a4a4f 437a360 over those five files is empty. Each was taken as the branch has it (git checkout --ours, a no-op here: the merge's own resolution gave the same bytes, checked with git diff --cached HEAD). For validate-pins.py that is update-shape.py read_pin refuses update-pin-row, and the pinned validate-pins.py and validate-family.py report shape-pin-row, when a shape pin's files: is not a list, so files: 5, true or 1.5 no longer ends check, apply, shape-doctor.py and the project's own validator in TypeError: ... is not iterable (#290) #343's final version plus this PR's own change.

git diff --stat 437a360 7e8bb26c lists only this PR's two files: templates/assembly-root/scripts/validate-pins.py (87 lines added, 3 deleted) and tests/test_validate_pins_unreadable_workflow.py (238 lines, new). git merge-tree --write-tree 437a360 7e8bb26c is rc 0. This PR's change is unchanged; the squash message describes only it.

Targeted runs at 7e8bb26 (S/frbin on PATH, a stub gh, one pytest at a time over one basetemp):

…alidate-pins.py and validate-family.py report `shape-pin-row`, when a shape pin's `files:` is not a list, so `files: 5`, `true` or `1.5` no longer ends `check`, `apply`, shape-doctor.py and the project's own validator in `TypeError: ... is not iterable` (#290)

Every reader of `contracts/shape-pin.yaml` took `pin.get("files") or []`
and looped over it. `or []` rescues the falsy values, which reach the
`no files` refusal or finding; a truthy scalar was iterated. On main 71b58a1
a pin with `files: 5`, `files: true` or `files: 1.5` committed over a clean
scaffold ended `update-shape.py check` and `apply`, `shape-doctor.py`, the
root's `scripts/validate-pins.py` and a holder's `scripts/validate-family.py`
in `TypeError: 'int' (or 'bool', 'float') object is not iterable`, exit 1.
The doctor printed nothing on stdout at all, and its one job is to say what
is wrong.

Each of the four readers now asks for a list:

- `update-shape.py` `read_pin` raises `update-pin-row` naming the pin and
  the value (`files:` is 5, not a list of `path:`/`sha256:` rows). It is
  reached from `prepare`, so `check`, `apply` and the doctor's
  shape-currency row all get the refusal; the doctor's row already carries a
  `read_pin` refusal by its code. The two `update-pin-row` raises now carry
  a remediation about the pin (put back the pin a tool last wrote, from the
  root's own history) instead of `repo_shape`'s default trailer, which is
  about submodules and fixes nothing in this file.
- `templates/assembly-root/scripts/validate-pins.py` `_check_shape_pin` and
  `templates/family-root/scripts/validate-family.py`
  `_check_shape_pin_files` report one `shape-pin-row` finding for the whole
  key, exit 1, the id they already use for a row that is not a mapping. A
  string `files: abc` is now one finding, where it was one per character.
- `shape-doctor.py` `pinned_paths` returns the empty set, as it does for a
  pin that is not a mapping. It is read only when an agent file is missing,
  so it was masked while `read_pin` crashed first; with `read_pin` fixed, a
  root with a scalar pin and no `AGENTS.md` reached it.

The falsy values are unchanged: `files: 0`, `false`, `null` and `[]` keep
`update-pin-no-files` and `shape-pin-no-files`.

The two validators are pinned template copies (`COPIED_VERBATIM`,
`FAMILY_COPIED_VERBATIM`). Nothing in this repository records their digest:
a scaffold, an adoption and `family.py init` digest the bytes they copy, so
a project cut from here records the new digest, and every project already
cut reads the two files as `upstream-changed` in `update-shape.py check`
until its owner runs `apply`.

tests/test_shape_pin_files_not_a_list.py: 18 cases over `files: 5`,
`true` and `1.5` through each reader (update-shape check and apply, the
root's validate-pins.py, the doctor's shape-currency row and its text
report, the doctor's agent-files row with no `AGENTS.md`, `pinned_paths`
in process, and a holder's validate-family.py, update-shape check and
doctor). All 18 fail on 71b58a1 with the TypeError. Two controls for
`files: 0` and `false` pass before and after.

…pping `files:` gets, so it no longer claims the old code refused one character at a time (#290)

Before #290, `read_pin` refused a string or a mapping `files:` at its first
character or key, as a row that is not `path:`/`sha256:`; it was the two
validators that reported one finding per character. The comment now says
what changed for `read_pin` itself: the value is named for what it is.
Comment only.

…` as `git -C <root> log`, so run from the openRepoShape checkout with `--root <project>` it shows the project's pin history and not the checkout's (#290)

PIN_ROWS_REMEDIATION was a constant that told the person to run a bare
`git log -- contracts/shape-pin.yaml`. This tool is run from a checkout of
openRepoShape with `--root /path/to/project`, so that command inspects the
checkout, which has no such pin, and shows no history (or the wrong one):
the person cannot follow the remediation. Codex review comment on PR #343,
#343 (comment).

The remediation is now `pin_rows_remediation(root)`, and both `update-pin-row`
raises in `read_pin` pass the root they were given. It spells the command
with `_by_hand`, this module's one quoter for a line a person pastes
(`shlex.join(["git", "-C", root, ...])`), so a root holding a space is one
argument. The rest of the text is unchanged.

tests/test_shape_pin_files_not_a_list.py asserts the qualified command,
computed with `shlex.join` rather than written as a literal so it holds on
Windows, where a backslash path is quoted. A new test runs the tool from the
checkout against a root whose path holds a space, takes the printed command
out of stderr, runs it from the checkout, and requires the project's own
commits to the pin. A second new test covers the other raise in `read_pin`
(a `files:` list whose row is not a mapping), which no test reached before.
At 6e2689a 8 of the file's 22 tests fail on the missing `git -C <root>`;
dropping the `-C <root>` pair from the command fails them again.

…er `.github/workflows/` that is not UTF-8, or that this user cannot open, is ONE `workflow-unreadable` refusal naming every such file, exit 2, so the project's pins gate no longer ends in a `UnicodeDecodeError` traceback, exit 1, with no line naming the file (#359)

`_workflow_refs` read every `.yml` and `.yaml` file under
`.github/workflows/` with `path.read_text(encoding="utf-8")` and nothing on
the path caught the failure. `UnicodeDecodeError` is a `ValueError` and
`main()` handles `Refusal` alone, so a committed workflow holding a Latin-1
`# caf\xe9` comment, or saved as UTF-16 with a byte-order mark, ended
`python3 scripts/validate-pins.py` in a traceback with exit 1 -- the code this
validator uses for a finding -- and a file mode 000 ended it in a
`PermissionError` from the same line. A pin that is not UTF-8 is a clean
`REFUSED yaml-unreadable`, exit 2, because it goes through `load_yaml`; the
workflow read was the one read in the script that did not. The file is opened
before it is known to name a leg, so a UTF-16 workflow naming none stopped the
run too. This is the project's own gate: `make validate`, and the pins step of
the `validate` workflow.

`_workflow_refs` now reads every workflow file through `_read_workflow`,
collects the ones it cannot read and raises one `Refusal`
`workflow-unreadable` (exit 2) after the last one:

- each file is named relative to the root, in POSIX spelling and never by its
  absolute path, in the words `load_yaml` uses: `<path>: not UTF-8 at byte N
  (<reason>)`; a file this user cannot open is `<path>: cannot be read
  (<operating system's reason>)`. The first file follows the id on the
  `REFUSED` line, so `shape-doctor.py`'s `pins` row, which quotes that line,
  names it; the rest follow, one to a line, so the operator repairs them in one
  pass instead of meeting them one run at a time.
- the remediation says to re-save each file as UTF-8 (a UTF-16 file needs
  converting, not editing), commit it and run the same command again, or, for
  a file that cannot be opened, to restore read access.
- a file is REFUSED, never skipped and never read lossily: a skipped
  workflow could hide a `@<sha>` reference that is out of lockstep, which is
  what the gate exists to find, and `errors="replace"` would call green a tree
  that the project's other YAML readers, and `bump-leg.py` (#289), refuse.

THIS IS A PINNED TEMPLATE COPY. `COPIED_VERBATIM` names it, so a scaffold, an
adoption and an `update-shape.py apply` record the sha256 of the bytes they
copy in the project's own `contracts/shape-pin.yaml`. Nothing in this
repository records that digest (`git grep -E '[0-9a-f]{64}'` finds only the
actionlint download sum in `.github/workflows/tests.yml`), so there is no pin
here to move: a project cut from this commit records the new digest, and every
project already cut reads `scripts/validate-pins.py` as `upstream-changed` in
`update-shape.py check` until its owner runs `apply`, which rewrites that one
row. Stacked on #343, whose commit moved this file's digest for the
`files:` change: the two changes now move it once between them.
`templates/family-root/scripts/validate-family.py` has no workflow reader (its
only reads are `load_yaml`, which already refuses a non-UTF-8 file by name),
so the holder's copy and its digest are unchanged.

tests/test_validate_pins_unreadable_workflow.py: 10 cases over a scaffold's
own `scripts/validate-pins.py` -- a Latin-1 comment, a UTF-16 file naming no
leg, two files named in one refusal (`.yml` and `.yaml`), a stale reference in
a non-UTF-8 file (refused, not skipped, not read lossily), a mode-000 file
(skipped on Windows and as root), and the doctor's `pins` row -- and four
controls (`yaml-unreadable` for a Latin-1 pin, a UTF-8 comment, a UTF-8
byte-order mark, a Latin-1 `.txt` that is not a workflow). All six refusal
cases fail on 039530b with the traceback; the four controls pass before and
after.

…, `abc`, is a case of its own beside `5`, `true` and `1.5`, so a guard widened to `isinstance(files, (list, str))` in `read_pin`, `validate-pins.py` or `validate-family.py` fails the file (#290)

The PR promised that a string `files:` gets one finding and one refusal naming
the whole value, and nothing tested it. A string is iterable, so the three
scalars the file already had could not tell the right guard from one that lets
a string through: the two validators gave one finding per character and
`read_pin` refused it as a bad ROW. Three one-line mutants each passed all 22
tests (review of 039530b: mu6 at validate-pins.py, mu7 at update-shape.py's
`read_pin`, mu9 at validate-family.py). With `files-abc` in `NOT_A_LIST`, each
of the six parametrised tests runs it, so every reader is asked for exactly one
finding or one whole-`files:` refusal, and each mutant now fails.

…_pull_request` spell the pin's path by the materializer's `SHAPE_PIN`, so `contracts/shape-pin.yaml` has no third copy in this module for Sonar's S1192 (#290)

`pin_rows_remediation` spelled `"contracts/shape-pin.yaml"` a third time in
update-shape.py, after `cmd_apply`'s set of paths to stage and
`_awaits_its_pull_request`; Sonar called the third copy a CRITICAL S1192 and
it was the one new issue on the PR. `scripts/shape_materialize.py` already
names the path once, as `SHAPE_PIN`, because a second spelling is how the
lists beside it would stop matching what is written, and this module already
takes its other constants from there. All three now use that name.

Two things left as they were, on purpose. The `root / "contracts" /
"shape-pin.yaml"` joins in `read_pin` and `_repin` are two short strings, not
the flagged literal, and #347 rewrites the top of `read_pin` (a merge of this
branch with it conflicts there if the join changes). The name comes in by its
own `from shape_materialize import SHAPE_PIN` line after the existing import
block, not as one more name in it, because #380 rewraps that block and a
merge conflicts there if this branch does too.

…ns-workflow-not-utf8, so this stacked branch builds on the parent's new head (#359)

#343 moved from 039530b to 9e6caeb (7c998ff adds a `files:` string case to
tests/test_shape_pin_files_not_a_list.py; 9e6caeb spells the pin's path in
update-shape.py by the materializer's SHAPE_PIN). The merge is clean: the parent's
two commits touch update-shape.py and that test file, this branch touches
templates/assembly-root/scripts/validate-pins.py and its own new test file.

The PR updates the assembly-root pins validator to read all workflow YAML files safely and report every decoding or access failure in one workflow-unreadable refusal with exit 2, then adds comprehensive regression tests ensuring files are named, never skipped or read lossily, while existing valid-file behavior remains unchanged.

File-Level Changes

Change Details Files
Harden workflow file reading so unreadable inputs produce a single actionable refusal instead of an uncaught traceback.
  • Read every .yml and .yaml workflow as UTF-8 before extracting references.
  • Convert decoding and open/read OSError failures into named, root-relative diagnostics.
  • Aggregate all failures into one workflow-unreadable refusal with exit code 2 and remediation guidance.
  • Preserve the distinction between encoding failures and access failures, and continue refusing rather than skipping or decoding lossily.
templates/assembly-root/scripts/validate-pins.py
Add coverage for unreadable workflows, aggregated diagnostics, and unchanged behavior for valid or unrelated files.
  • Test Latin-1, UTF-16/BOM, stale-reference, multiple-file, permission, and shape-doctor reporting scenarios.
  • Verify relative paths, one refusal, no traceback, exit 2, and appropriate remediation text.
  • Retain controls for unreadable pins, UTF-8 workflows, UTF-8 BOMs, and non-workflow text files.

…t: `check_pin` takes the root its `update-pin-row` remediation reads, so #290's refusal survives #267's split instead of a NameError (#290)

Main 580d7df carries #267 (decff87), which split update-shape.py's
`read_pin(root)` into the read and `check_pin(pin, pin_path)`, so that
shape-doctor.py can check the pins in a root's history in memory. The
`update-pin-row` raises moved into `check_pin`, and on this branch they
call `pin_rows_remediation(root)`, #290's `git -C <root> log` advice,
where `root` is not a name. The textual merge is clean and the tree dies
at run time: `NameError: name 'root' is not defined` for a `files:` of
`5`, `true` or `1.5` in `check`, `apply` and shape-doctor.py, which then
prints no report at all.

This commit takes the planned #267 composition, the PR's two attachments
fix1-compose-267-resolution-v2.patch and root-pin-faults-after-267.patch,
applied unchanged; main moved their hunks by offset only (shape-doctor.py
526 lines, tests/test_shape_doctor.py 521, update-shape.py 1):

- update-shape.py: `check_pin(pin, pin_path, root)`, `read_pin` passes
  its root, and the docstring says `root` is the repository whose history
  a refusal's `git log` reads.
- shape-doctor.py `pin_reads_at` passes `ctx.root`. Its docstring says
  `check_pin` refuses `files: 5` as `update-pin-row`, and `TypeError`
  leaves its `except` tuple: no pin's bytes raise one now, so one means a
  caller out of step with `check_pin`, and the doctor fails loudly rather
  than answer that no commit holds a pin to put back.
- tests/test_shape_doctor.py: #267's ROOT_PIN_FAULTS gains `files: 5`,
  `true` and `1.5`, each `update-pin-row`, so each is INVALID, exit 1,
  with `checkout HEAD` as its NEXT, which run as printed leaves the root
  COMPLIANT.

Main's other changes to this PR's files merge as text away from these
lines: #446 (245d775) in validate-pins.py, #406 (ec8e09a) in
validate-family.py, #379 (87d2eb7) in update-shape.py, and #375 (cd1fc79)
and #357 (5678f68) in shape-doctor.py. Neither module has changed on main
since decff87.

…tf8, so the stacked branch holds the parent's last commits before its squash

#343 (issue #290) was the parent of this branch. This merges the final head
of #343, 91a4a4f, which is clean: merge-tree of 91a4a4f with the previous tip
11dff7f is rc 0. This branch's own change stays the pinned validate-pins.py
template's refusal of a workflow file that is not UTF-8 and its test file.

…t-utf8, so #343's own five files stay as the branch holds them and the branch now sits on main

#343 (issue #290) squash-landed on main as 437a360. This branch already held
#343's final head 91a4a4f. git diff 91a4a4f 437a360 over shape-doctor.py,
templates/assembly-root/scripts/validate-pins.py,
templates/family-root/scripts/validate-family.py,
tests/test_shape_pin_files_not_a_list.py and update-shape.py is empty, so
main changed those five files by nothing but the squash, and each is taken
as this branch holds it (git checkout --ours, a no-op that the merge's own
resolution already gave). For validate-pins.py that is #343's final version
plus this branch's own refusal of a workflow file that is not UTF-8 (#359).
Everything else the merge brings is main's: 437a360 is the shared store's
origin/main at this merge, so no later main commit is merged.

… is `PRODUCT=PATH` only when its key names a chain link, and a link source that cannot be entered is a WARNING with the system's reason, not a traceback (#338) (#453)

**What was wrong.**

Two faults, one in the parser and one in the lookup.

- **The parser.** `_link_sources_from_args` split every `--link-source` value at its first `=`. A link tree under a directory named `a=b`, passed bare, became a source keyed to a link `a` that no chain names. Nothing asked for it, so the link stayed `declared-unverified`, exit 0. The WARNING then offered `--link-source openXdox=<path>` to the person who had passed exactly that. A mistyped key failed the same silent way.
- **The lookup.** `repo_shape.link_manifest_path` asked `Path.is_dir()` and then `is_file()`. Before Python 3.14 those swallow only ENOENT, ENOTDIR, EBADF and ELOOP. So each of these ended the naming gate in a traceback, exit 1:
  - a keyed source under a parent this user cannot enter;
  - `SHAPE_PIN_SOURCE_<LINK>` pointing there;
  - a checkout `../openXdox` at mode 000, which every `--project` run asks for;
  - a 300-character name.

**What changed.**

**How a value is read** (`LinkSources` in `scripts/validate-repository-naming.py`). This mirrors #312's `PinSources`, with a chain link where that file has a declared pin:
- The text before the first `=` is a LINK only when it casefolds to a link of a chain this run reads. Those are the entries of `--referent-chain`, and of each leg's `naming.referent_chain:` under `--project`. Both are read before any leg is classified.
- The keyed reading wins even over a directory spelled like the whole value. `./` reads that directory.
- Any other value is a bare PATH, taken whole.

**What a lookup says** (`scripts/repo_shape.py`):
- `link_manifest_lookup` asks `stat()` inside a guard, as `_digest_from_source` does in #312. It returns the system's reason when a source cannot answer, or says which of four plain cases it is (`no such file or directory`, `it holds no project.yaml`, `its project.yaml is not a file`, `it is neither a directory nor a file`), and it never raises. It replaces `link_manifest_path`, which is gone: nothing calls it. `link_declarations` gives the reason a manifest could not be read, and `declared_neutral_pins`, which it left with no caller, is removed (fix round 1).
- `resolve_link_source` and `link_pins_from_trees` take a keyword-only `tried`. It records each source asked, in order, with its reason. Nothing in `repo_shape` prints.
- `link_pins_from_trees` also takes a keyword-only `with_reasons` (fix round 2). Asked, it returns a `LinkPins`, a dict equal to the plain mapping that also remembers why a tree it reached could not be read. Only the scaffold asks.

**What the validator prints** (stderr, after each name's WARNINGs):
- `WARNING link-source-unreadable: <path> (<how>) could not answer for <link>: <reason>`. This covers a `--link-source` asked for a link that holds a pin, a `SHAPE_PIN_SOURCE_<LINK>` likewise, and a checkout beside the project that exists and still cannot answer. A keyed value that also names a directory gets a second line saying how to ask for that directory with `./`. A bare value holding `=` says it was read as a PATH.
- `NOTE --link-source <typed>: not used — <why>.` for a value no such link asked for. The why is one of five: a later value replaced it; no name reads that link's own declaration (a keyed value); no name records a chain at all; no name reads any chain link's own declaration (a bare value, where chains exist and none is read); or every link that is read had a more specific source.
- Three kinds of source are never named: a variable or a checkout asked only for a chain's LAST link (no one ever reads that link's own declaration); a variable or a checkout for a chain no classification reads (fix round 1: a spec leg's chain, a name with no referent, a chain whose shape fails; a `--link-source` value for such a chain is the NOTE); and a checkout that is absent or holds no manifest.
- `--quiet` drops both, with the WARNINGs. So `make bootstrap` and the doctor's `naming` row print nothing new.

`--help`, the module docstring and `docs/cli.md` (regenerated) say all of this.

**Fix round 1 (lane 5's review of 40762ca: 0 blockers, 2 should, 4 nits).**

Second commit, 4b21263. Each review finding, in order:

- **A link manifest whose `neutral_product_pins:` is not a list of names is a tree that cannot answer** (SHOULD-1). `link_declarations` iterated `data.get(key) or []` as it stood, against the `link_pins_from_trees` docstring this change wrote ("nothing a source does raises out of here"). `5` ended the naming gate, the scaffold and the project's `validate-manifest.py` in `TypeError: 'int' object is not iterable`. A scalar `openDox` was read as the characters `D`, `e`, `n`, `o`, `p`, `x`, so the chain broke, and under `--project` that is a FINDING. A mapping was read as its keys, so `openDox: yes` DECLARED `openDox`. Each is now `(None, why)`, as `not a mapping` is: declared-unverified, with the reason named ("`neutral_product_pins` is not a list", "holds an entry that is not text"). An absent or null value, an empty list, and a blank entry (`null`, `''`) in a list, declare nothing, as ever. The fix is in the shared function, so the scaffold and `validate-manifest.py` are reached too.
  **Three behaviours change on purpose here, and the tests of fix round 2 pin each:**
  - **A falsy value is no longer an empty list.** `neutral_product_pins: 0`, `false` or `''` was read as no pin at all (`or []`), so a chain through the tree was BROKEN, and under `--project` that is a FINDING. It is now a tree that cannot answer: the link is declared-unverified, a WARNING, exit 0.
  - **An entry that is not text is no longer read as text.** `[openInk, 0]` and `[openInk, false]` dropped the entry as a blank, and `[openInk, true]` read it as the text `True`, so a chain through the list VERIFIED. Each is now declared-unverified, with a WARNING saying the list "holds an entry that is not text". That is stricter than the link tree's own `validate-manifest.py`, which takes `str(pin)` of an entry (`_declared_pins`, `templates/assembly-root/scripts/validate-manifest.py:85`): a chain is better left unverified than verified through a name nobody wrote.
  - **The scaffold no longer refuses `chain-not-declared` over a pins value that is a scalar.** With `--pin-source` a tree whose `neutral_product_pins:` is the scalar `openInk`, the scaffold used to refuse (`REFUSED chain-not-declared: ... openXdox declares I, e, k, n, o, p, not openInk`, exit 2, from the characters). It is now the declared-unverified WARNING and the scaffold goes on, exit 0, which is its documented rule for a tree that cannot answer: "a warning, never a refusal, because the check is offline". The warning says the tree was reached and could not be read (fix round 2, below).
- **The reach wording is corrected** (SHOULD-2): "Who else this reaches" below, and the docstring of the test that made the claim. What stops crashing is the naming and manifest steps. `make validate`, `validate.yml` and `make bootstrap` still end in a traceback on the sibling row before Python 3.14, at a file this change does not touch (below). On 3.14 the sibling is passed over without a word there instead, which is #430.
- **The mutation gaps** (nit). Six of the review's ten mutations survived. Five now die, each by a new test: a `project.yaml` that is a directory; a device or a FIFO as the source; the order A, B, A; a value holding `=` with no chain at all; and every failure of `SHAPE_PIN_SOURCE_<LINK>` for a link that holds a pin (a path that is not there, a directory with no manifest, a file that is no manifest), not only a permission. The sixth, the `typed in self.used` test in `unread_lines`, could not be killed because it was dead: a value is read as one link's keyed source or is the one bare PATH, so every lookup asks it of the same path and it is used or unread, never both. That was asserted over 293 tests and the test is removed.
- **A chain no classification reads** (nit). `classify` consults a link's own declaration only for a name that claims a referent, with a recorded chain whose shape holds. For any other chain (one recorded on a spec leg; one on a name with no `open<Product>` to reach; one that does not begin at a held pin or does not end at a referent of the name) a source was still asked, so a path that was not there was reported as `link-source-unreadable` and a good tree was counted used, each for a question nobody put. `NamingPolicy.reads_link_declarations` now says when `resolve_referent` reads a chain, and `LinkSources.link_pins` asks it first: such a chain asks nothing, and a value for it is the NOTE that no name reads that link's declaration. A test runs `resolve_referent` with a mapping that records whether it was read, over every way a chain is and is not, and holds the new method to it.
- **Dead code and stale sentences** (nit). `declared_neutral_pins` is removed: `git grep` over the tree, every pushed branch and every sibling worktree finds no caller. `link_manifest_lookup`'s docstring no longer says "replaces" over a name that is gone. This description no longer says `tests/test_naming_policy.py` takes `SEARCH_DENIED` from #312: it defines a mark of its own, with the same condition and its own reason text.

**Fix round 2 (lane 5's re-review of 4b21263: 0 blockers, 0 should, 3 nits).**

Third commit, 2ac911c. Each finding, in order:

- **The three behaviours the body did not state are stated and tested** (nit 1). Round 1's not-a-list fix changed three behaviours on purpose, each listed under SHOULD-1 above, and the re-review found two of them had no test. R1 (`if declared is None` read as `if not declared`, which makes `0`, `false` and `''` declare nothing again) and R2 (`if pin is None or pin == ""` read as `if not pin`, which drops a `0` or `false` entry as a blank) both passed all 210 cases of `tests/test_naming_policy.py` at 4b21263. Six rows join `NOT_A_LIST_OF_NAMES`, which runs at the CLI and in process: `0`, `false` and `''` as the value, and `0`, `false` and `true` among the names. R1 now fails 9 cases and R2 fails 6.
- **The scaffold's warning is true for a tree it reached** (nit 1, the third behaviour). Over a `--pin-source` whose `neutral_product_pins:` is not a list, round 1 turned the `chain-not-declared` refusal into a declared-unverified WARNING that says the tree "is not reachable here (a sibling checkout, SHAPE_PIN_SOURCE_<LINK>, or --link-source <LINK>=<path> would let it be read)". `--pin-source` did reach the tree, and only its declaration could not be read, so that blamed a path that was right. Now `link_pins_from_trees` takes a keyword-only `with_reasons`; asked, it returns a `LinkPins`, a dict equal to the plain mapping that also keeps `unreadable`, `{link: why}` for each link whose source answered and whose manifest could not be read. `_chain_link_findings` words such a link "which was reached but could not be read as a declaration (<why>)", in a branch of its own, and only the scaffold asks. The new text is asserted for each of the eleven not-a-list rows, with `scaffold-project.py --dry-run` run as a subprocess.
  - **Every other path's text is the bytes it was.** The sentence for a link no source reached is the same code in the same lines, and four tests hold it: the generic warning for a plain mapping, for an empty `LinkPins` and for an absent tree; the scaffold's own old warning for a clone that holds no `project.yaml`; the naming validator's two lines (its warning, and the `link-source-unreadable` line that names the reason); and `validate-manifest.py`'s. The naming validator and `validate-manifest.py` do not ask for reasons, so they print what they printed.
  - **One more scaffold path changes with it, on purpose.** A tree the scaffold reached and could not read as a declaration for any other reason (a manifest that does not parse, or is not a mapping) used to say "not reachable here" too, and was no truer. It now says what it is, with the system's reason, and a test for each of the two (a manifest that is not a mapping, one that does not parse) holds it, at the scaffold's command line and in process: narrowing the wording to the not-a-list reasons fails both.
  - `_declaration` still returns its four values, so nothing else in `scaffold-project.py` moved.
- **A qualified chain link in the spy test** (nit 2). `_chain_read_cases` had no case whose chain link is qualified, so `reads_link_declarations` could take the chain as typed and not through `_chain_links` (R3) and pass every test. With `--referent-chain testorg/openXdox,openDox` that turns a verified chain into a declared-unverified one. `("codexDox", {"openXdox"}, ("testorg/openXdox", "openDox"), True)` is a case now, and R3 fails it.
- **The description** (nit 3): the ten corrections of the re-review are applied (the reason a lookup returns, the fifth NOTE reason, the third kind of silent source, the SHOULD-1 bullet, "before Python 3.14", the `validate-pins.py` bullet, the 3.14.7 rows, the merge-tree section, the filed numbers, and the project's own `validate-manifest.py`).

The mutation proofs: all three survivors were reproduced first at 4b21263 (210 passed each) and each dies at 2ac911c. Six mutations of the new code each die too: the warning ignoring the reasons (12 cases fail), the lookup recording none (12), the scaffold not asking (11), `with_reasons` on by default (3), an absent tree called reached (3), and the reached sentence used for a tree nothing reached (17).

**Where it departs from #312, and why.**

- **An explicit source that cannot answer stays a WARNING, exit 0.** #312 made an unreadable `--pin-source` a finding. Three reasons for the difference:
  - Exit 1 here means "a name is wrong", and this module has always said an unread link tree is a warning.
  - `SHAPE_PIN_SOURCE_<PRODUCT>` also answers `validate-pins.py`'s digest question, from a checkout that need not hold a manifest.
  - The lookup falls through to the next source, which may still verify the link.
- **The fall-through is kept**, as it always was. With `--pin-source`, a keyed value is final.
- **The lines go to stderr, spelled `WARNING`/`NOTE` as this file spells them.** #312's notes are `  note` lines on stdout, where that file's report lives.

**Who else this reaches.**

The guard is in `repo_shape.py`, so the same `link_pins_from_trees` lookup stops crashing for these callers too:
- **The project's own `validate-manifest.py`.** It reaches the lookup through `SHAPE_PIN_SOURCE_<LINK>` or a sibling checkout, and now gives its usual declared-unverified WARNING instead of the traceback.
- **`scaffold-project.py --referent-chain`.** A `SHAPE_PIN_SOURCE_<LINK>` under a locked parent no longer kills the plan, and `--pin-source` verifies the link.

Neither of these prints the reason a source could not be entered; the scaffold says it only for a tree it reached and could not read (fix round 2, above). A `--pin-source` the scaffold cannot enter is still a traceback: that is #339 (`pin_digest_from_source`), and this PR does not touch it.

**What this does not reach, and what the doctor says.**
- **The project's gates still end in a traceback on the sibling row.** The NAMING and MANIFEST steps of `make validate`, `validate.yml` and `make bootstrap` stop crashing for a checkout `../openXdox` at mode 000. Those targets also run `validate-pins.py`, whose `resolve_neutral_pin_source` asks `(sibling / ".git").exists()` with no guard (`templates/assembly-root/scripts/validate-pins.py:463` on main), so before 3.14 a sibling at mode 000 still ends them in a `PermissionError`. That file is #312's, and `fix/pin-source-env-collisions` (PR #409, since landed), `fix/adopt-pin-writes-pin-file` and open PRs #343 and #419 touched it when this was written, so this PR does not edit it. The same line is listed for Python 3.14 by #430 (lane 2), where the helper that would cure both halves is asked for; the pre-3.14 traceback reproduction is added there as a comment, not filed apart. A `SHAPE_PIN_SOURCE_<LINK>` under a locked parent is different: `validate-pins.py` makes that a `neutral-pin-source-unreadable` FINDING (#312), and that stays.
- **The doctor's `naming` row** runs the STANDARD's copy of the validator, so it stops crashing at once. **Its `manifest` row** runs the project's OWN `validate-manifest.py` on the project's own `repo_shape.py`, so it changes only once the project has applied this change. Over an existing project the doctor says `INVALID (manifest, pins)` until `update-shape.py apply` lands the two `upstream-changed` rows below.
- **The verdict.** For `SHAPE_PIN_SOURCE_<LINK>` under a locked parent, on a project that carries these copies, `INVALID (naming, manifest, pins)` becomes `INVALID (pins)`, and `pins` is #312's finding for that locked variable, which is right. For a sibling at mode 000 the `pins` that remains is the traceback above, not a finding.

The two copied scripts this change edits (`scripts/repo_shape.py` and `scripts/validate-repository-naming.py`) are copied into every project and pinned there. A project takes the change through `update-shape.py` (two `upstream-changed` rows), and a family holder takes the `repo_shape.py` row. Neither file has a second copy in this repository.

**Evidence.**

- **Issue rows, main ab623dd** (`repro338.sh`, a `gh` stub first on PATH). Under 3.10.21 and 3.12.3, rows 4-7 (keyed under a mode-000 parent, `SHAPE_PIN_SOURCE_OPENXDOX` there, a sibling at mode 000, a 300-character name) are a traceback, exit 1. Rows 2-3 (`a=b`, the typo) are a silent declared-unverified, exit 0. Under 3.14.7 row 1 verifies, and rows 2-7 are the silent declared-unverified WARNING, exit 0.
- **Issue rows, this PR.** Under 3.10.21, 3.11.16, 3.12.3, 3.12.14, 3.13.15, 3.14.7 and 3.15.0rc2 (first commit), all 7 rows exit 0 with no traceback, and the output is byte-identical across versions. `a=b` verifies. The other five rows each name their source with its reason. Re-run on the fix-round head, 4b21263, under 3.10.21, 3.12.3 and 3.14.7: byte-identical to the first commit's run. Re-run on the fix-round-2 head, 2ac911c, under the same three: all 7 rows exit 0 with no traceback, the output is byte-identical across the three versions, and it is identical to the re-review's runs of the previous head over main.
- **Reach on main.** Main gives a `PermissionError` traceback, exit 1, for `scaffold --dry-run`, the project's `validate-manifest.py`, `validate-repository-naming.py --project` and its `--quiet` form, each with `SHAPE_PIN_SOURCE_OPENXDOX` under a locked parent. This PR gives exit 0 for all four. `validate-pins.py` on the sibling row is the exception said above.
- **New tests.** 17 cases (11 functions) in the first commit; 16 fail on ab623dd. The fix round adds 31 cases in `tests/test_naming_policy.py`, and 17 of them fail on 40762ca: the five shapes of pins that are not a list (each at the CLI, in-process and, for the scalar, under `--project`), and the chains nobody reads. The other 14 guard what a mutation could break (below) or the side the fix must not move (an absent, null or blank pin list still answers).
- **Targeted run on 4b21263**, files `test_naming_policy`, `test_manifest_validator`, `test_scaffold_referent_chain_links`, `test_cli_reference`, `test_repo_hygiene`, `test_neutral_pin_validator`, `test_scaffold_e2e`, `test_shape_doctor`, `test_git_output_decoding` and `test_pin_validator`: **765 passed, 3 skipped**. The 3 skips are the PowerShell-only rows. (40762ca: 734 passed, 3 skipped.) `render-cli-reference.py --check` is ok.
- **Mutation probes, first commit.** Reverting the stat guard, the parse, keyed-over-directory, the NOTE lines, the chain's-end restriction, the sibling-absence filter, the manifest reason, the `--quiet` drop, the "read as a PATH" sentence, the `./` line, the project-chain read, the WARNING lines or the env reporting each fails at least one new test.
- **Targeted runs on 2ac911c (fix round 2).** Under 3.12.3, `test_naming_policy` (238 cases: 210 and 28 new), `test_cli_reference`, `test_manifest_validator`, `test_scaffold_referent_chain_links`, `test_repo_hygiene` and `test_setup_project_py`: **468 passed**; and `test_scaffold_e2e`, `test_scaffold_pin_and_reuse`, `test_scaffold_leg_path_collisions`, `test_scaffold_pin_collisions`, `test_neutral_pin_validator`, `test_git_output_decoding` and `test_pin_validator`: **312 passed**. Under 3.10.21 and under 3.14.7, `test_naming_policy`, `test_manifest_validator` and `test_scaffold_referent_chain_links`: **321 passed** each. `render-cli-reference.py --check` is ok, and `ast.parse(feature_version=(3, 9))` passes on the three changed files.
- **Mutation probes, fix round.** The review's ten, re-run on 4b21263: MW1, MW2, MW3, MW5 and MW11 now die (they survived), and MW4, MW7, MW12 and MW13 still die; MW6 is the dead test, removed. (Fix round 2 kills the three the re-review found, R1 to R3, and six more: see above.) Nine more for the new code (the list check, the entry check, the null and blank tolerances, `reads_link_declarations` always true, without the shape check, without the held pins, and the validator ignoring it): eight die. The ninth, `reads_link_declarations` ignoring whether the name has a referent, survives as an equivalent mutant: with no referent `_chain_shape_problem`'s last question always reports a problem, so the explicit early return is redundant, and is kept because `resolve_referent` has the same first line. The spy test holds the two together.
- **Windows.** The mode-000 rows skip on Windows and as root, using a `SEARCH_DENIED` mark this file defines, with the same condition as #312's. The new FIFO and `/dev/null` rows skip where those do not exist. `a=b` and the 300-character name run everywhere. On Windows the long-name row asserts the line, not POSIX's reason. None of it had been run on Windows or macOS when this was written; the last paragraph gives the CI result.

**Merge-tree.**

Recomputed at 19:04Z with `git merge-tree --write-tree` of 2ac911c against `origin/main` as it was then, 53bee5b, and against every one of the other 37 pushed branches that touches a file this PR changes (a scan of each head against its merge-base with main):
- **Clean:** origin/main 53bee5b (it carries #314 and #390); #394 `fix/adopt-record-submodule-placement` 563ea16 (`scripts/repo_shape.py` and `validate-manifest.py`) and #406 `fix/validate-family-unnamed-mounts` 369af2e (`scripts/repo_shape.py`); #397 abb27e6, #400 7062a47, #401 409f10b, #416 7cca975, #452 e2df9a8 and #395 1ef3310 (`docs/cli.md`); #355 6fdbe3d, #373 741cbf2 and #395 (`scaffold-project.py`).
- **Conflict, four hunks each, all in `scripts/repo_shape.py`:** `fix/pin-source-env-collisions` (PR #409) 6494714, and `fix/adopt-pin-writes-pin-file` 421e4e5 (no PR). Both also touch `scaffold-project.py`, and that merges clean with this PR's one edit there. Fix round 2's new hunks merge with neither: #409's change to the "not reachable here" sentence (the `offered` text, when a variable is shared) and the reached branch sit in different lines of `_chain_link_findings`. The four hunks, each taking both sides:
  1. the `resolve_link_source` signature: `default_source=None, env_shared: bool = False, *, tried: list | None = None`;
  2. its docstring: both paragraphs;
  3. the `link_pins_from_trees` docstring and the lines after it: both paragraphs, then `found`, this PR's `unreadable` and #409's `links` and `shared`;
  4. the call: `resolve_link_source(name, root, keyed_sources, default_source, pin_product_key(name) in shared, tried=asked)` (the same spelling on both branches), followed by `if tried is not None: tried[name] = asked`.

  Resolved that way in a throwaway and committed there, the merge with 6494714 passed **496 tests** (`test_naming_policy`, `test_pin_source_env_collisions`, `test_neutral_pin_validator`, `test_scaffold_referent_chain_links`, `test_manifest_validator`, `test_cli_reference`), and the merge with 421e4e5 passed **559 tests** (the same files and `test_pin_source_unreadable`). `render-cli-reference.py --check` is ok on both, pyflakes is clean, and the grammar parses as 3.9's. Neither branch carried the resolution when this was measured. #409 has since landed, and the merge of main into this branch (the last paragraph) takes those four hunks both ways. The earlier counts (468 and 434 from the first fix round, 430 from the re-review) are those runs' own, at their heads.

**Left out.**

Each of these was found by lane 5's reviews of this change, and each is filed or folded:
- **A bare `--link-source` answers for every link with no more specific source** (#441). In a chain of three or more links, one bare tree is read as two links' declarations, and a chain that holds is reported broken, a FINDING for a name with no direct pin on its referent. Pre-existing, the same on main; `validate-pins.py`'s `--pin-source` has the same documented rule and was not examined.
- **An empty path after a key (`--link-source openXdox=`) is `Path("")`, the current directory** (#442). Run from a project root, the project's own `project.yaml` is read as the link's declaration. Pre-existing; `validate-pins.py`'s `--pin-source openXdox=` has the same shape (there a finding naming `.`).
- **`validate-pins.py`'s `(sibling / ".git").exists()` is unguarded** (the sibling row above), folded into lane 2's #430, which already covers the Python 3.14 half: the pre-3.14 traceback and its reproduction are added there as a comment. #312's file.
- **The project's OWN manifest** with `neutral_product_pins: 5` ends in a `TypeError` in two gates before either can say anything about it (#443): `_pins_from_project` in the naming gate (`scripts/validate-repository-naming.py:302` on main), and `_declared_pins` in the project's own `validate-manifest.py` (`templates/assembly-root/scripts/validate-manifest.py:85`), which ends it before its own `manifest-neutral-product-pins` finding (`_neutral_product_pins_type_finding`, `:524` on main) can print. Reproduced on 3ef059c. That is the project's own declaration, read by the project's own gates, and not a link source, so it is outside this change; "read by the project's own gates" covers two crashing gates.

Also not done here:
- **Python 3.9 (the floor) was not run** because it is not installed here. The grammar of the three changed files was checked with `ast.parse(feature_version=(3, 9))`. Windows and macOS were not run here; CI ran them (the last paragraph).

Reviewed adversarially at 40762ca, the branch's first commit (CHANGES NEEDED: 0 blockers, 2 should-fixes, 4 nits). The head stopped every crash in the issue's table, and the should-fixes were a docstring claim the code did not keep for a `neutral_product_pins:` that is not a list, and reach claims that overstated what the project's gate does on the sibling row. Fix round 1 (4b21263) resolved every finding, and the re-review of 4b21263 read APPROVE WITH NITS (0 blockers, 0 should-fixes, 3 nits: three behaviour changes this description had not stated, two of them untested; a spy-test case for a qualified chain link; and description corrections). Fix round 2 (2ac911c) resolved those three, and its re-verification of 2ac911c read APPROVE WITH NITS (0 blockers, 0 should-fixes, 2 nits: no test of the scaffold's wider wording for a manifest that is not a mapping or does not parse, now pinned by two tests that each fail when the wording is narrowed, and a cross-reference in this description that pointed the wrong way, now corrected). Main (9736424, #409's squash) was merged into the branch as ced8fac. `scripts/repo_shape.py` conflicted in four hunks; each takes both sides, as the review of 2ac911c resolved it: `resolve_link_source(..., default_source=None, env_shared: bool = False, *, tried=None)`, both docstrings kept, `link_pins_from_trees` opening with `found`, `unreadable`, `links` and `shared`, and the call passing `pin_product_key(name) in shared` with `tried=asked`. Nothing else conflicted. After the merge, `tests/test_pin_source_env_collisions.py` and the targeted set passed (667 and 312), and `render-cli-reference.py --check` printed `[ok]`. CI is green on Linux, macOS and Windows, with SonarCloud passing, at 938a131 (main 48585e6 merged in). Its merge with main 994be39 passed the targeted set (the naming, manifest, scaffold, pin and setup test files): 983 passed.

… 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).

Closes #273
Closes #339
