Lane: openreposhape-2 (openRepoShape-2)
Claim: #658 (comment)

Lands after: #620 (landed as 879d804, this branch's base).

What changed

adopt-project.py plan fills in --id, --elected-by and the tracking branch by itself when they are not passed (FLAG_DEFAULTS). It read --id and --elected-by by their truth and filled them in with or, so a passed '' counted as no flag (L2-53, DB3 option 1). And a derived id's remedy, "pass an explicit lowercase --id", led to naming-unclassified, because the naming policy reads --project itself (L2-54, DB2 option A).

L2-53. flags_given is getattr(args, key) is not None, as #479 reads --tracking-branch. The id and the elector are filled in only when their flag is not in it. An empty value meets its own flag's rule and is refused there by name, with the value as typed:

REFUSED adopt-bad-id: --id '' must match ^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*$
Remediation: pass an explicit lowercase --id.

REFUSED adopt-manifest-invalid: --elected-by is '', which the project's own validate-manifest.py refuses: manifest-elected-by: elected_by is empty. Electing the shape is a human's act and the manifest records whose.

L2-54. _refuse_bad_id names a derived id by _flag_named from FLAG_DEFAULTS["id"], replacing #620's hand-built sentence (rv601's nit). The remedy now points at --project:

REFUSED adopt-bad-id: --id (not given, so --project lowercased) is 'north_wind', which must match ^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*$
Remediation: change --project. The id is --project lowercased, and an explicit --id would not change --project, which also names the assembly root and both legs.

Where the source names a repository and --project is its name, compared without case (_is_the_source), it is adopted in place and --project cannot be retyped. The remedy is then _rename_first's, the one text _refuse_another_repository and _check_names use:

REFUSED adopt-bad-id: --id (not given, so --project lowercased) is 'north_wind', which must match ^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*$
Remediation: the id is --project lowercased, and --project is the source's own name. testorg/North_Wind cannot be adopted in place under that name: an in-place adoption keeps the source's own name, and `--project` cannot rename it. Whether to rename it is a human's decision, made first on GitHub (`gh repo rename`); then run `plan` again against the renamed repository (`--source <org>/<new name>`, or a clone whose `origin` names it), with its new name as `--project`.
  • A source that names ANOTHER repository than --project gets "change --project", and adopt-not-the-source names the source's own name on the next run.
  • A passed --id keeps today's sentence and remedy: --id 'Foo_Bar' must match … / "pass an explicit lowercase --id".
  • Before (879d804), every derived case read: REFUSED adopt-bad-id: the id derived from --project 'North_Wind' (--id was not given) is 'north_wind', which must match ^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*$ / Remediation: pass an explicit lowercase --id.

The rider, lane 1's L1-39. FLAG_DEFAULTS gains "org": "the organisation of the source's origin". That is _planned_org's wording for the same value; a cloned --source has the repository it was cloned from as its origin. So for an origin https://example.invalid/~x/Northwind.git:

REFUSED adopt-manifest-invalid: --org (not given, so the organisation of the source's `origin`) is '~x', which the project's own validate-manifest.py refuses: manifest-leg-repository: …

where it said --org is '~x'. A passed --org ~x is still named --org. The fix is the table entry and its test, nothing more.

Every message above was measured by a probe. The probe ran plan from the branch over local sources, with a stub gh (exit 97) first on PATH, GH_TOKEN=bogus, an empty GH_CONFIG_DIR and the probe's own git config files. No gh call was made. --help is unchanged: scripts/render-cli-reference.py --check passes.

rv601's P4 mutant (id_passed = args.id is not None) is a line of #620's code, not of this one. Here the reading it introduced IS the code. Its failure, a passed label over a derived value, is the second mutant in the table.

Not changed

  • --org '': _planned_org still reads it as no --org and plans the origin's organisation, exit 0 (adopt-project.py _planned_org, if org:; org_given = bool(args.org) in _checked_plan_inputs). That is L2-53's class for --org, outside DB3, and the brief stops L1-39 at the table entry. flags_given now counts --org '' as passed, so the validator's refusal of an org read from such an origin says --org is …, as it did before.
  • --elected-on '' and --reference '' are filled in with or too. They are not in FLAG_DEFAULTS and not in DB3.
  • The scaffold's scaffold-bad-id and family.py init's family-bad-id (scaffold-project.py and family.py init: a derived id's refusal names --id and its remedy leads to a naming refusal #659, wI2, which copies this wording).
  • check's plan-bad-id (Plan.project_id) says "id: is …" for an id derived from legs.assembly in a plan that sets none, and "re-run plan with an explicit lowercase --id". DERIVED_ID names that case elsewhere. plan always writes id:, so only a hand-edited plan gets there.
  • --help and docs/cli.md.

Closes #658

Summary by Sourcery

Make adopt-project.py plan distinguish supplied values from defaults and provide accurate validation errors and remediation for IDs, project names, elected-by values, and origin-derived organisations.

Bug Fixes:

  • Preserve explicitly supplied empty --id and --elected-by values so they are rejected by their own validation rules instead of being replaced by defaults.
  • Correctly identify derived IDs and provide remediation that changes --project, or instructs users to rename the source repository before in-place adoption.
  • Name organisations read from a source origin according to their actual default source.

Enhancements:

  • Centralize naming-policy guidance for project names and reuse it in derived-ID and unclassified-name refusals.

Tests:

  • Add coverage for empty flag values, derived-ID remediation, in-place repository adoption, origin-derived organisation names, and naming-policy character boundaries.

…ame, a derived id's refusal says to change `--project`, or in place to rename the source first, and an org read from a url is named as not given (#658)

`plan` read the flags it fills in by itself by their truth (`flags_given`)
and filled them in with `or`, so a passed `''` was the same as no flag
(L2-53). `--id ''` planned the derived id, exit 0: a script's `--id "$ID"`
with `ID` unset went through silently. `--elected-by ''` recorded the
configured `git config user.name`, exit 0, though `--help` says "not
blank", and with no `user.name` the refusal said `--elected-by (not given,
so `git config user.name`) is ''` of a flag the person had passed. With
#620, `--project North_Wind --id ''` was refused as "(--id was not given)".

- `flags_given` is now `getattr(args, key) is not None`, as #479 reads
  `--tracking-branch`, and the id and the elector are filled in only when
  their flag is not in it. An empty value meets its own flag's rule and is
  refused there by name, with the value as typed:
  `adopt-bad-id: --id '' must match ^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*$`, and
  `adopt-manifest-invalid: --elected-by is '', which the project's own
  validate-manifest.py refuses: manifest-elected-by: elected_by is empty.`,
  whatever `user.name` holds. #479 has no refusal of its own for `''`
  either: `--tracking-branch ''` meets `checked_value` because it is read
  by `is not None`.

A derived id's remedy was "pass an explicit lowercase --id" (L2-54). The
id is derived from `--project`, it is refused only for a `--project`
holding a character no id takes, and the naming policy reads `--project`
itself, so that remedy led to `naming-unclassified`.

- `_refuse_bad_id` names the derived id by `_flag_named` from
  `FLAG_DEFAULTS["id"]`, replacing #620's hand-built sentence:
  `--id (not given, so --project lowercased) is 'north_wind', which must
  match ...`. Its remedy is "change --project. The id is --project
  lowercased, and an explicit --id would not change --project, which also
  names the assembly root and both legs." Where the source names a
  repository and `--project` is its name, compared without case, it is
  adopted in place and cannot be retyped: the remedy is `_rename_first`'s,
  after "the id is --project lowercased, and --project is the source's own
  name." A passed `--id` keeps its sentence and remedy.

The rider, lane 1's L1-39: `adopt-manifest-invalid` named an organisation
read from the source's `origin` as `--org is '~x'`, a flag nobody passed.
`FLAG_DEFAULTS` gains `"org": "the organisation of the source's
`origin`"`, `_planned_org`'s words for the same value, so the validator's
refusal says `--org (not given, so the organisation of the source's
`origin`) is '~x'`.

Not changed: `--org ''`, which `_planned_org` still reads as no `--org`;
`--elected-on ''` and `--reference ''`, which are not in `FLAG_DEFAULTS`;
the scaffold's and `family.py init`'s id refusals (#659); `check`'s
`plan-bad-id`. `--help` is unchanged.

Lands after #620.

Reviewer's Guide

The PR fixes provenance handling in adopt-project.py plan: explicit empty --id and --elected-by values are no longer replaced by defaults, inferred values are named consistently, and derived-ID refusals now explain whether to change --project or rename an in-place source repository, with focused regression and mutation coverage.

…le `--project` or `--family` is held to, in the words of each tool's own `naming-unclassified`, so following it no longer leads to `North-Wind` and that refusal (#659)

rv699's round on #699 (#658) changed adopt's derived-id remedy, and this
mirrors it (lane 4's S1 and O1). "Change --project" alone sent the person
from `North_Wind` to `North-Wind`, which `naming-unclassified` then
refused. The remedy now names the rule, in each tool's own words:

    Remediation: change --project to one CamelCase token with no hyphen,
    underscore, dot or space. The id is --project lowercased, and an
    explicit --id would not change --project, which also names the
    assembly root and both legs.

`init` says the same of `--family`, ending "which also names the holder
and, unless --work-dir is given, its family folder". Each tool holds its
rule clause in one constant, `PROJECT_NAME_RULE` and `FAMILY_NAME_RULE`.
That constant is used by the derived remedy and by the tool's own
`naming-unclassified` sentence, whose output is unchanged byte for byte.
The scaffold's and `init`'s clauses are the same, and so is adopt's after
#658.

`FAMILY_ID_REMEDIATION` is renamed `PASSED_FAMILY_ID_REMEDIATION`, to
match the scaffold's `PASSED_ID_REMEDIATION` (lane 4's N2). No behaviour
change.

The tests expect the new words. The naming rows also check that each
tool's `naming-unclassified` states the rule its derived remedy names.

…sified` gives for `--project`, so "change --project" no longer leads to `North-Wind` and a second refusal (#658)

rv699's should-fix (lane 4's O1). The remedy said "change --project", and
the change a person makes to `North_Wind` is `North-Wind`, which
`naming-unclassified` then refused: "--project takes one CamelCase token
with no hyphen, underscore, dot or space".

- `PROJECT_NAME_RULE` holds that clause once. `_check_names` builds
  `naming-unclassified`'s remediation from it, byte for byte as before, and
  `_refuse_bad_id` names it in both derived remedies:
  "Remediation: change --project to one CamelCase token with no hyphen,
  underscore, dot or space. The id is --project lowercased, ..." and, in
  place, "the id is --project lowercased, and --project is the source's
  own name, which must be one CamelCase token with no hyphen, underscore,
  dot or space." before `_rename_first`'s text, unchanged.
- tests/test_adopt_plan.py: `CHANGE_PROJECT` and `IN_PLACE` say the rule,
  and a new test holds the derived remedy and the `naming-unclassified`
  that follows `--id north-wind` to the same clause.
- tests/test_adopt_project_is_the_source.py: a cloned `--source
  testorg/North_Wind` gets the rename-first remedy, as a local clone does
  (rv699's X1: `repository = None if source.cloned else ...` survived).
  The `gh repo clone` stand-in is one helper for that test and #499's.
- tests/test_naming_policy.py: no assembly root and no family holder
  holds `.`, `_`, `/`, `@`, `+` or `~`, the characters `SAFE_ARG_RE`
  takes and no id takes once lowercased; a second test holds that list to
  the two patterns. The in-place remedy says the source cannot be adopted
  under such a name, and #659 says the same of `--family`: true while
  these hold.

…another spelling of its row's path moves it back to that path in the index alone, so the printed remedy no longer takes the member's gitlink away from its row (#646) (#670)

**Goal (#646): no remedy `family.py` prints un-registers a member that is in the holder.** Three states are outside it, each under "Left out": a `.gitmodules` that a `git mv` made name the variant too (checklist candidate (e)); a file the index holds at or under the row's path, where #574's remedy is kept; and a file or link the index holds at `members` itself (candidate (h)).

A member's only gitlink sat at `Members/<P>`, while its row and `.gitmodules` said `members/<P>`. This is #363's state after the fact. `family.py add` of ANOTHER member refused, as #574 rules (`family-members-dir-variant`). Its remedy was #574's remedy for any path under another spelling of `members/`:

- `git rm -r --cached -- Members/<P>`, and commit the removal, where nothing is on disk in that spelling;
- `git mv -- Members/<P> <new name>`, and commit the rename, where something is;
- `git commit`, where HEAD alone holds it (the variant's removal staged, not committed).

Each one, typed as printed, left no gitlink at the row's path. The holder's validator then refused `member-gitlink-absent`. Reproduced on BASE a524542 in all five layouts below.

All in `scripts/family.py`.

- `_members_spellings` takes the rows' own paths (`_rows_paths`: the one path `_member_path` gives a row, `members/<project>`; a row it refuses is `member-path`'s).
- **Which path is the member's own.** The index must hold nothing at or under the row's path. Then a gitlink at a case variant of that path, in the index or in HEAD alone, is that member's. It gets a new remedy, `RESTORE`, placed in `REMEDY_ORDER` after the index's own remedies.
- **The remedy** is the index-only move that `validate-family.py` prints for the same state since #639. Brett Heap accepted it on 2026-10-16T11:21:49Z ("Accept; merge #639 after #637"), in place of the "committed `git mv`" of his "Refuse on every disk" ruling, because `git mv` to the row's path fails or misplaces the gitlink:
  - `git rm -r --cached --ignore-unmatch -- <variants>`. It touches no file, and it is no error where HEAD alone holds the variant. Where a sparse checkout keeps a variant off disk (`skip-worktree`), the line says `git rm -r --cached --sparse --ignore-unmatch -- …`.
  - `git update-index --add --cacheinfo 160000,<commit>,members/<P>`, one line per row, at the commit the variant entry records. For an unmerged variant, that is the commit at stage 2.
  - A commit, where one is left to make.
- **What the disk holds afterwards** gets the validator's own sentences, placed after every other remedy:
  - where nothing is checked out at the row's path, as in a fresh clone, `git submodule update --init --recursive`;
  - on a case-sensitive disk, `mv -- Members/<P> ../Members-<P>` for the directory left at the variant;
  - on macOS and Windows, leave it, since it is the row's own directory.
- A directory on disk at a gitlink moved back from HEAD is the move's to name. It is not named a second time as untracked.

The branch merges main 35133f2, which holds #639 (c6122e8), in one merge commit with no conflict.

Example: the issue's state, the checkout at `members/IRRS`:

```
REFUSED family-members-dir-variant: the family root holds a path at or under another spelling of members/, which a case-insensitive disk takes for members/ itself — in the index: `Members/IRRS` (a submodule)
Remediation: every member is mounted under members/, and a holder keeps that directory in one spelling on every disk. Move each member's gitlink held only under another spelling of its row's path, `Members/IRRS` for the row members/IRRS, to that path, at the commit it records, in the index alone, which touches no file (`git rm -r --cached --ignore-unmatch -- Members/IRRS`, then `git update-index --add --cacheinfo 160000,<commit>,members/IRRS`), and commit that; where nothing is checked out at members/IRRS, as in a fresh clone, `git submodule update --init --recursive` then checks the member out there; on a case-sensitive disk, as Linux's usually is, a directory left at Members/IRRS stays there, untracked, and add refuses it as family-members-dir-variant: move each one that is there out of the holder, `mv -- Members/IRRS ../Members-IRRS`; on macOS and Windows it is the row's own directory, so leave it; then re-run.
```

No pinned file changes: `scripts/family.py` is the standard's own tool, not a copy in a holder. No `--help` text changes, so `docs/cli.md` is untouched. A `git grep` of AGENTS.md, README.md, `docs/handbook.html` and the family-root templates found no sentence about `add`'s case-variant remedies, so none became false.

1. **The member's own gitlink: one whose path folds to a row's path, where the index holds nothing at or under that path.** The next commit records the index, and every remedy here ends in one.
   - If the index holds the row's gitlink, a gitlink at a variant is a second one. Taking it out removes nothing from the row, so it keeps #574's remedy, and moving it back would overwrite the row's gitlink.
   - If the index holds a FILE at the row's path, the move would replace it without a word. If it holds files UNDER the row's path, the move's second line fails (`appears as both a file and as a directory`) after the first has already taken the variant out. Both keep #574's remedy (lane 3's review RV670, N3).
   - A file at the variant, or anything under it, also keeps #574's remedy.
   - `test_only_the_members_own_gitlink_is_moved_back` holds all of these, 9 cases.
2. **The commit named is the one the variant entry records, so the remedy is a move, not a bump.** Brett Heap decided this at 2026-10-16T14:11:42Z: "take all recommendations for #670 and #681". That word replaces his 13:07:34Z take of "the row's pin".
   - Where a row has two variants, the first found is named, the index's before HEAD's.
   - **This departs from #646's Direction line (`<pin>`) and from #639's rule:** #639's restore in `validate-family.py` names the row's pin. The two tools give different lines where the variant records a commit the row does not pin, and, since S1, where a sparse checkout keeps the variant off disk: `add` prints `--sparse` and the validator does not (candidate (f)).
   - **The four reasons, as lane 3's review RV670 measured them:**
     1. **A pure rename.** With the variant's commit, the move changes only the path. Where the commits differ, the gate then reports `member-gitlink-mismatch`, which has its own LOCKSTEP text and `bump` remedy, and exits 1, and an `add` of another member still goes through. `test_a_commit_the_row_does_not_pin_is_moved_not_bumped` types that end to end. (Where the variant equals the pin, the bytes are the same either way.)
     2. **The pin would silently bump.** With the pin, the paste changes the commit the holder records: a roll-back or an advance, a bump done outside `bump`, which the LOCKSTEP text says the gate refuses.
     3. **A row with no pin needs a fallback.** The validator never prints its remedy for such a row, because `member-pin` or `member-pin-commit` stops the row first. So #639's rule has no answer there, and a pin-based `add` would need the variant's commit anyway.
     4. **A pin absent from the clone fails.** `update-index --cacheinfo` does not check that the object exists, and the printed `git submodule update --init --recursive` then fails with rc=128 (`Fetched in submodule path 'members/IRRS', but it did not contain 3333…`). The variant's commit is already recorded, so this remedy adds no new unreachable commit.
   - **The validator is not changed.** Naming the variant's commit there too (it already prints it, as `(at <commit>)`) would edit a pinned template, and that needs its own word, which nobody has given.
3. **An unmerged variant is moved back at its stage-2 commit** (RV670, N2). `ls-files -s` lists stage 1, the merge base, first, and the PR's first head took that one.
   - Stage 2 is HEAD's entry each time, so the move is a rename relative to HEAD, and the validator also answers an unmerged path from HEAD. In a merge and in a stash pop it is the holder's own side. In a rebase it is the upstream's side, which is HEAD while the rebase runs: after `git rebase --quit` the move names the upstream's commit, not the person's own, which is stage 3 (probed by rv670b, the re-verify of this PR).
   - The removal takes out every stage, and the commit after it goes through (`$Q/v112/w646b/probes/w646b-unmerged-probe.log`).
   - An unmerged variant with no gitlink at stage 2 is no member's own: HEAD's entry holds no gitlink there, whatever stages 1 and 3 hold. It keeps #574's remedy, where stage 2 is missing and where it is a file. A gitlink at stage 1, a file at stage 2 and a gitlink at stage 3 is an `OWN` state too (rv670b's NIT-3): git lists stage 1 first, and rv670b's mutant R1, which read the first record's mode in place of stage 2's, passed all 36 tests and moved the file's blob back as a gitlink.
   - The state is reachable only with unmerged entries and no in-progress mark. A conflicted `git stash pop` leaves it, and so do `git merge --quit` and `git rebase --quit` (rv670b probed both). `add` refuses a merge, rebase, cherry-pick, revert or `git am` in progress (`family-operation-in-progress`) before it gets here.
4. **A variant a sparse checkout keeps off disk is taken out with `--sparse`** (RV670, S1). Without it, `git rm -r --cached --ignore-unmatch` exits 0 and removes nothing, so the index then held two gitlinks, and the next `add` refused again. With it, the entry goes, measured on git 2.43 with and without `core.sparseCheckout` (`$Q/v112/w646b/probes/w646b-sparse-probe-*.log`). The flag is printed only where a variant needs it, so the line stays the validator's everywhere else. Git older than 2.34 has no `git rm --sparse`: see "Left out".
5. **The commit is printed only where one is left to make.** That is:
   - HEAD holds a variant (RV670's S2 state, HEAD holding the gitlink in both spellings at one commit, is one of these);
   - HEAD's gitlink at the row's path is another commit, or there is none;
   - or a pending change is committed first.

   A move to the variant that is only staged, with HEAD still holding the row's gitlink at that commit, leaves nothing to commit, and a printed `git commit` would fail as typed.
6. **The code stays `family-members-dir-variant`** (or `member-path-taken` where some path is also a variant of the new member's mount path). The add is still refused for this path, as for any path under another spelling of `members/`: with `core.ignorecase` set, git would stage the new gitlink as `Members/<new>` (#362). Only the remedy changes.
7. **The closing sentences come last**, after #574's disk remedies.
   - Where a `members/` renamed by hand is moved back (`mv -- Members members`), the checkout goes home with it.
   - If they came before that, the `mv` out of the holder would act on `Members/<P>` while it may still be the member's checkout. And `git submodule update` would make a `members/`, inside which `mv -- Members members` would then put `Members` (`members/Members`).
   - `test_with_the_other_remedies…[members/ renamed by hand]` holds the order: it types the move back and then `git submodule update`, which checks the member out in the `members/` moved back.
8. **One text on every disk.** The move reads the index and HEAD, never the disk. The dry run and the real run print the same two lines. Asked in process of an emulated folding disk and of a Linux one (`disk_as`, as `tests/test_family_members_case_variants.py` emulates it), each layout gives the same text the subprocess gives.
9. **The disk after the move.**
   - On a case-sensitive disk the variant keeps either a checkout (15 entries, `?? Members/`) or, after a fresh clone, an empty directory. The gate passes either way.
   - If the printed `mv` is not typed, the next `add` refuses `family-members-dir-variant ... on disk and untracked: Members/Atlas` with #574's `mv -- Members/Atlas <new name>`, and passes once that is typed.
   - If the printed `mv` is typed, the next `add` passes at once (`$Q/v110/w646/leftover.log`, `repro-head.log`).

All runs used `$Q/v110/run9.sh`: a `gh` stub that exits 97 first on PATH, `GH_TOKEN=bogus-l5`, an empty `GH_CONFIG_DIR`, `/usr/bin/python3 -m pytest`, and local bare remotes only.

`tests/test_family_add_member_variant.py` is new, with 37 tests. Every printed command is typed as printed. The holder's gate then passes (or, in the one case where the variant records a commit the row does not pin, names that drift), the member is where its row says at its commit, and the same `add` goes through.

- `test_each_layout_moves_the_gitlink_back_as_printed` (4 layouts) and `test_a_fresh_clone_moves_the_gitlink_back_as_printed`.
- `test_every_disk_gives_the_same_answer` (4 layouts × folding and Linux, in process).
- `test_with_the_other_remedies_each_runs_in_its_order` (8 states):
  - beside a file under `Members/`;
  - after a pending change in HEAD;
  - with nothing left to commit;
  - `members/` renamed by hand;
  - HEAD alone, with the checkout at the variant;
  - HEAD holding both spellings at one commit, the row's removal staged (S2);
  - kept off disk by a sparse checkout (S1; skipped on git older than 2.34, as #574's sparse case is);
  - unmerged at stages 1, 2 and 3, with nothing in progress (N2).
- `test_every_member_held_in_the_wrong_case_is_moved_back` (two rows).
- `test_the_gitlink_is_recorded_at_the_commit_it_records` (4 states).
- `test_a_commit_the_row_does_not_pin_is_moved_not_bumped` (S3): typed as printed, the gate exits 1 with `member-gitlink-mismatch` alone, and the same `add` goes through.
- `test_only_the_members_own_gitlink_is_moved_back` (9 states, four of them new: a file at the row's path, a file under it, an unmerged variant with no gitlink at stage 2, and one with a gitlink at stage 1, a file at stage 2 and a gitlink at stage 3).
- `test_the_rows_that_have_a_path_of_their_own`.

Layouts that need two directories differing only in case skip on a disk that folds case. No test makes such directories there.

Two existing lines change to the new shapes:
- `Spelled` has two more fields, `recorded` and `sparse`, so a seven-field tuple compared in `tests/test_family_members_case_variants.py` gains `"", False`;
- the three-argument stand-in for `_members_spellings` in `tests/test_family_add_refusals.py` takes `rows`.

The S1 case sits in the new file, beside its other move-back states, and not in `test_family_members_case_variants.py` beside #574's sparse test: it needs the new file's helpers, and that file already imports from the other one.

Results on this head. a837a02 is 2104a3d plus one test commit: it adds one state to `OWN` and changes no code, so the runs of 2104a3d below stand for every file it does not touch.

The S2 and S3 cases pass on the merge too, since they pin behaviour the PR already had. Lane 3's mutant X2 fails the S2 case (below). The S3 case holds the variant's-commit rule end to end.

Earlier, at the PR's first heads (before the merge with main):

Holder `Fam` with members Atlas and Nova, Atlas's gitlink moved to `Members/Atlas` in the index at its own commit and committed; then `family.py add` of Zed (`$Q/v110/w646/probes/repro.sh`), at the PR's first head.

| Layout | BASE a524542 (`repro-base.log`) | head 79754b9 (`repro-head.log`) |
|---|---|---|
| L1, nothing on disk in that spelling | `git rm -r --cached -- Members/Atlas`, commit: no gitlink for Atlas; gate `member-gitlink-absent` | rm, `update-index`, commit: Atlas at `members/Atlas` at its commit; status clean; gate exit 0 in all three modes; next `add --dry-run` exit 0 |
| L2, the only checkout at `Members/Atlas` | `git mv -- Members/Atlas renamed-1`, commit: gitlink at `renamed-1`; gate `member-gitlink-absent` | rm, `update-index`, commit, `git submodule update --init --recursive`, `mv` out: the same end state |
| L3, both directories | `git mv`, commit: gitlink at `renamed-1`; `?? members/Atlas/`; gate `member-gitlink-absent` | rm, `update-index`, commit, `mv` out: the same end state |
| L4, a fresh recursive clone (an empty `Members/Atlas`) | `git mv`, commit: gitlink at `renamed-1`; gate `member-gitlink-absent` | rm, `update-index`, commit, `git submodule update`, `mv` out: the same end state |
| L5, the variant's removal staged, not committed | `git commit`: the removal committed; gate `member-gitlink-absent` | rm (`--ignore-unmatch`, no error), `update-index`, commit: the same end state |

In every layout, on both sides, the dry run and the real run printed the same stderr, and the in-process run under a folding disk and under a Linux disk printed the same two lines as the subprocess. This round's states (S1, S2, S3, N2, N3) are reproduced by the tests above, which type each printed line.

Not reproduced: a real macOS or Windows disk. The folding disk is emulated. CI runs Linux only (#597).

**This round** (`$Q/v112/w646b/probes/w646b-mutate.py`, in throwaway clones at 2104a3d). Each probe changed one hunk or condition, and the new file was then run with `-x`. Every hunk of this round fails a test, and so do lane 3's X1 and X2 and rv670b's R1, which needed a new state (last row).

The S3 test types the remedy end to end and asserts the gate's finding, so it holds the variant's-commit rule itself; no mutant of this round touches that rule.

**The first heads** (`$Q/v110/w646/probes/mutate.py`, in a throwaway clone at 2216e1c). The new file was run with `-x`.

The branch merges main 35133f2 in bc48c2a, with no conflict: its tree, 088aa26, is the one `merge-tree` predicted. Only #637, #622 and #639 had changed `scripts/family.py` since BASE.

`git merge-tree --write-tree` of the head a837a02, last after a fetch at about 18:45Z. Every one is clean.

- origin/main 2fac979 (tree 042d309). Since the last check (main de92614) it has landed #634 (30676c9), #659/#671 (6e37d0e), #658/#699 (b618ec1), #650/#719 (3dc34b8), #678/#701 (5c392dd) and #425/#717 (2fac979). The other rows are the heads as fetched now.
- Lane 4's five branches that change `scripts/family.py`: `fix/684-family-holder-states` 7015386, `fix/686-bump-reachability` 7567e60, `fix/688-family-init-values` aa95b6b, `fix/689-next-push-refspec` fa51384 (it also changes `tests/test_family_add_refusals.py`) and `fix/693-local-remote-dir` 96ebe45.
- Lane 4's other open heads: `fix/674-update-shape-apply` d069902, `fix/690-siblings-inputs` 38a40ab, #698 b069951, #700 fca40df, #702 48bac6e, #703 (`fix/696-setup-family-folder`) 4054ffd, #705 1bc63e8 and #706 (`fix/664-surviving-mutants`) 3e408b1.
- Lane 2's #671 and #699 and lane 4's #701 are on main now, so the main row covers them.
- Lane 5's #682 (#648, 8b39cd1), `fix/692-raw-folder-paths` ab55c29 (it changes `scripts/family.py` too) and `fix/704-bootstrap-leg-moves` 4e2b211.

- **A `.gitmodules` that names the variant too** (a `git mv members/<P> Members/<P>`, committed or staged; checklist candidate (e) below). The move puts the gitlink back at the row's path, but the section still gives `Members/<P>`. So `git submodule update` fails with `No url found for submodule path 'members/Atlas'`, and the gate refuses `member-uninitialized` (`$Q/v110/w646/gitmv-head.log`). On BASE the same remedy moved the gitlink and the section to `renamed-1` (`gitmv-base.log`). #639's validator prints the same incomplete lines for this state. A fix needs a `.gitmodules` edit that the validator does not print.
- **A file the index holds at or under the row's path, beside the variant's gitlink** (decision 1). #574's remedy is kept: it takes the variant out, and the file stays at the row's path. For a file at the row's path, typed, it leaves HEAD with `100644 blob … members/IRRS`, the gate refuses `member-gitlink-absent` (exit 2), and `add` of another member then goes through (exit 0), as rv670b ran it; a file under the row's path was not run. The move would replace that file, or stop half done, so no remedy here can both keep the file and put the member back. This state predates this PR.
- **A file or link the index holds at `members` itself** (a file `members`, or a committed link `members -> Members` left after a hand rename; checklist candidate (h) below). The rule asks about entries at or under a row's path, not above it. With every member at a variant and `members` a file in the index, `add` prints the move back, and rv670b typed it line by line: `git rm` takes out both variants (exit 0), then each `git update-index --add --cacheinfo` fails with exit 128, `'members/IRRS' appears as both a file and as a directory`. The next `add` prints the same move again, now from HEAD. A committed link behaves the same. #574's remedy also un-registered the member here, so it is not a regression. Adding `or row.startswith(name + "/")` to the rule would keep #574's remedy there, which leaves the member with no gitlink, as the entry above does. `scripts/family.py` is not changed for it here.
- **Git older than 2.34 and `--sparse`.** `git rm` has no `--sparse` option before 2.34 (git v2.33.0's `builtin/rm.c`), and it skips every `skip-worktree` entry (`if (ce_skip_worktree(ce)) continue;`), so there the line without the flag was the same silent no-op. The printed `--sparse` stops with an unknown-option usage error, exit 129 (from reading that source; not run). #574's `git mv --sparse` has the same limit. The S1 test is skipped on git older than 2.34, as #574's sparse test is.
- **PowerShell.** The printed lines are quoted for a POSIX shell (#532), so paste them into Git Bash. RV670 notes (N4) that in PowerShell the bare `160000,<commit>,members/IRRS` becomes an array passed as three arguments, which `--cacheinfo` also accepts. Not run, by RV670 or here. On Linux, dropping `'posix'` from these lines changes nothing (lane 3's mutant X3), since `shell_quoted` quotes for `os.name`, which is POSIX there.
- **The closing `mv` inherits #639's N-1 and N-2** (rv611c), and its N-3:
  - N-1: where the variant directory is a live checkout with an absorbed gitdir, the `mv` leaves its `.git` file pointing nowhere;
  - N-2: the `mv`'s condition is stated by OS, not by a check a person can run, so on a case-folding Linux mount (WSL's `/mnt/c`) typing it moves the member's own checkout out, and `git submodule update --init --recursive` then puts it back;
  - N-3: an empty `../<variant>` directory that already exists is moved into.
- **A variant under `members/` itself.** `members/irrs` for the row `members/IRRS` is invisible to `add`'s `_spelled_target`, while the validator's casefold check names it (RV670, N6). This predates this PR.
- **Case folding beyond ASCII**, as in #574: project names are ASCII, and git's `icase` folds ASCII only.

- **(e) `family.py add` and `validate-family.py`: the move back of a member's gitlink leaves `.gitmodules` naming the variant after a `git mv`.** After `git mv members/<P> Members/<P>`, git rewrites the section's `path` to `Members/<P>`. The index-only move both tools print puts the gitlink back at `members/<P>` and leaves the section where it is. `git submodule update --init` then fails with `No url found`, and the conditional `mv` would move the member's only checkout out of the holder. Both could also print `git config -f .gitmodules submodule.<name>.path members/<P>` and `git add .gitmodules` where a section gives a variant's path (evidence `$Q/v110/w646/gitmv-head.log`).
- **(f) `validate-family.py`: its move back of a member's gitlink is a silent no-op where a sparse checkout keeps the variant off disk.** Its `git rm -r --cached --ignore-unmatch -- <variant>` has no `--sparse`, so it exits 0 and removes nothing, and its `git update-index --add` then leaves two gitlinks in the index. This is the validator's half of RV670's S1, which RV670 assigns to #459. The validator is a pinned template.
- **(g) `validate-family.py` and `family.py add`: a file the index holds at or under a row's path, beside the member's gitlink at a variant, has no remedy that keeps the member.** `add` now keeps #574's remedy there, which takes the variant out. The validator asks `recorded_gitlink`, which skips any entry that is not mode 160000, so by reading its code (not run) it prints its move back for this state too: `update-index --add` would replace a file at the row's path without a word, and fail on files under it after its first line has taken the variant out. This state predates #670.
- **(h) `family.py add` (and probably the validator, not run): a file or link the index holds at `members` itself is never named.** The move printed beside it stops at its `update-index` line after `git rm` has taken every variant out (above, under "Left out"). Nothing here fixes it; the coordinator places it.

Review: lane 3's RV670 found 79754b9 READY with three SHOULDs; the fix round took S1-S3, N2 and N3, rv670b's re-review found it ready with nits, and a837a02 takes Brett Heap's ruling of 2026-10-16T14:11:42Z that the restore keeps the variant's own commit. CI (Brett Heap's ruling 27 and his fast-refresh ruling of 2026-10-15T22:48:35Z): H0 a837a02 passed tests, tests-git-bash and SonarCloud; the head 6d7e4ff is a clean update-branch merge of main bf1f099, with tests-git-bash and SonarCloud green; and the local gate passed on its predicted squash tree b46e560 over main 6794a9f: the family_add_member_variant, family_add_refusals, family_members_case_variants, repo_hygiene, agents_md_codes, cli_reference sets, 308 passed. Landed on Brett Heap's word of 2026-10-17T10:59:39Z, relayed by lane 3 on #473: "merge lane 5's approved v1.1.0 drafts".

Closes #646

… verification row's colon, `run_validator`'s "costs no child an import" and the decoy test's `sitecustomize` claim say what main does (#666) (#730)

Four comments and docstrings said something main no longer does. They now say what the code beneath them does. A fix round after review added two more of the same kind (see "Fix round"). Comments and docstrings only: no behaviour, no `--help` text, no pinned copy, so no README, handbook or `docs/cli.md` change.

- **`adopt-project.py`, the module docstring.** It said the verification table reads `code: 0 of N source paths (seeded from template)`. The printed row has no colon (`  {leg:<6} {count:>5} of {N} source paths{note}`). It now says the table's `code` row reads `0 of N source paths (seeded from template)`, the words `AGENTS.md` and `README.md` use since #505 and the docstring of the verification function uses too. `git grep 'code: 0 of'` finds nothing now.
- **`shape-doctor.py`, `submodule_config`.** The last sentence of the docstring gave a reason that is true of the string and not decisive: "It is also what the row PRINTS, and a lone surrogate is a string no UTF-8 stream can write." The table goes through `ascii_text` and `--json` through `json.dumps`, so neither would raise on a lone surrogate. I dropped the sentence, the issue's first direction. The comparison with `origin_url`'s reading of a clone's remote is the reason, and the paragraph already gives it first. **This hunk carries the bytes of lane 3's #700**, which landed as `55c6ba7d`: the two removed lines and the one added line (`    working clone.`) are the same. So the hunk is on main already and drops out of the squash (see "Evidence").
- **`shape-doctor.py`, `run_validator`.** "It costs no child an import" holds for an unedited copy only. A new paragraph says a root whose own copy of a validator gained an `import yaml` read `passes` while `site` was on, and now reads `crashed before reaching a verdict (exit 1): ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'yaml'`, the crash its own CI gets, because `validate.yml` installs nothing. It calls that row a fair answer and says `-S` does not ask whether a copy was edited. No code change.
- **`tests/test_shape_doctor.py`, the decoy test's two comments** (the block above `DECOY_REPO_SHAPE` and the inline comment before `reached`). `run_validator` starts every child as `[sys.executable, "-S", script, ...]`, so no child imports a `sitecustomize`. The comments now say that, say that replace-not-prepend and the #306 review S1 case are held by `test_run_validator_gives_the_child_exactly_the_pythonpath_it_is_given`, and say that the decoy test holds the template row's real verdict under an exported `PYTHONPATH`.

The review of the first two commits approved with nits. Two new commits take S1 and N1: `7f2bb36b` makes both edits, and `426877bf` rewrites the last sentence of the N1 comment, which did not parse ("...a future removal of `-S`, which `test_run_validator_starts_every_child_with_no_site` ... is the test that holds"). It now ends "...a future removal of `-S`; `test_run_validator_starts_every_child_with_no_site` (in `tests/test_doctor_validator_site.py`) is the test that holds `-S`." Both are comments and docstrings only.

- **S1, a third stale sentence.** The docstring of `test_run_validator_gives_the_child_exactly_the_pythonpath_it_is_given` said that for the callers which pass no `pythonpath`, "only a probe like this one, or (b)'s decoy, can see that they have none". That is false under `-S`: a `run_validator` that keeps the variable for those callers passes the decoy test in all three cases and fails the probe test twice (the second row of the table below). It now says only a probe like this one can see that they have none, and that the decoy of (b) could before `-S` (#342). It is the same defect as the issue's, in a place the issue did not name. "Could" holds for the `manifest` and `pins` cases: with `-S` removed, 2 of the 3 decoy cases fail, and the `family` case never caught it.
- **N1, the inline comment overstated the loop.** The comment above `reached` said "What this loop still holds is that no row quotes the decoy or says it exited 86." Under `-S` the loop cannot fire. It now says so, says the loop is kept as a tripwire for a future removal of `-S`, and names `test_run_validator_starts_every_child_with_no_site` in `tests/test_doctor_validator_site.py` as the test that holds `-S`. That test is on main.
- **N2, this body.** The merge checks and the notes on #630 were stale (they cited `de926142` and a conflict that is gone). They are rerun and rewritten below.

**Only comments and docstrings changed.** `git diff 8062810 426877b` has 74 changed lines (44 added, 30 removed) in three files. A script checked each changed line against the file's comment tokens and docstring spans (both sides of the diff): 0 outside. A second check parsed each file at the base and at the head, blanked every docstring, and compared the ASTs: identical in all three files. For the two fix-round commits together, the AST of `tests/test_shape_doctor.py` with docstrings blanked is identical to the one at `a2113cff`, `git diff --check` is clean, and the longest added line is 75 columns (73 in the second commit).

**What the squash holds.** `git merge-tree --write-tree` of this head with origin/main `20c8873b` gives the tree `6ead2ffc`. `git diff 20c8873 6ead2ffc` is 71 changed lines in three files, and `shape-doctor.py` has 8 of them: the new `run_validator` paragraph and nothing else. `git diff` of the two trees has no hunk that mentions `submodule_config`, `surrogate`, `PRINTS` or `working clone`. On main, `submodule_config`'s docstring has no "PRINTS" sentence and ends in `working clone.`. The same two checks on that tree: 0 lines outside comments and docstrings, ASTs identical. On main `2d988200` with the head `426877bf` the squash is the same: 71 changed lines, 8 of them in `shape-doctor.py`, 0 outside comments and docstrings, ASTs identical, and no hunk that mentions `submodule_config`.

**`python3 scripts/render-cli-reference.py --check`**, at `426877bf`: `[ok] docs/cli.md is what the generator produces`. Only the first line of a module docstring is help text, and none of the first lines changed.

**The decoy comments, measured.** I did not take the issue's reading on trust. In a throwaway clone at the base I put each #306 regression into `run_validator` and ran the two tests (`test_an_exported_pythonpath_does_not_reach_a_template_validator`, three cases, and `test_run_validator_gives_the_child_exactly_the_pythonpath_it_is_given`, six):

| mutant | with `-S` (main) | with `-S` removed |
|---|---|---|
| the standard's `scripts/` put in FRONT of the operator's value | decoy test: 3 of 3 pass. Probe test: 1 of 6 fails | decoy test: 3 of 3 fail |
| the variable kept for the callers that pass none (S1) | decoy test: 3 of 3 pass. Probe test: 2 of 6 fail | decoy test: 2 of 3 fail |
| the operator's directory AHEAD of the standard's | decoy test: 3 of 3 fail. Probe test: 1 of 6 fails | not run |

So on main the decoy test catches neither #306 regression and the probe test catches both, as lane 4's R342 measured on #636's head. The third row is why the comment says the raising `repo_shape.py` "still bites": it kills an operator-first order. The review re-ran these mutants on `a2113cff` and got the same counts.

**The `run_validator` paragraph, measured.** A root whose own `validate-manifest.py` is `import yaml` plus a print, run through `run_validator` from this tree: exit 1 and `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'yaml'`. The same call with `-S` taken out of the child's argv: exit 0, `manifest ok`. `yaml` is importable from the machine's site-packages and not without `site`.

With the real `gh` unreachable (a stub first on PATH, a bogus token, an empty `GH_CONFIG_DIR`).

On `a2113cff`, before the fix round:

- `tests/test_cli_reference.py`, `tests/test_repo_hygiene.py`, `tests/test_agents_md_codes.py`, `tests/test_scaffold_leg_path_collisions.py`: 250 passed (57.5 s).
- `tests/test_doctor_gitmodules_not_utf8.py`, `tests/test_doctor_validator_rows.py`, `tests/test_doctor_validator_site.py`, `tests/test_doctor_validator_verdicts.py`, `tests/test_adopt_spec_only.py`, `tests/test_adopt_entry_paths.py`, `tests/test_adopt_submodules.py` (the files that drive `run_validator`, `submodule_config` or the seeded-leg row): 334 passed (28 min 18 s).
- `tests/test_shape_doctor.py`, in two halves run side by side (the first 204 test ids, then the last 204): 204 passed in 11 min 31 s, and 201 passed, 3 skipped in 4 min 58 s. That is all 408 tests. The 3 skips are the PowerShell-line tests, which need `powershell.exe` on a Windows host.
- The review ran all of `tests/test_shape_doctor.py` there: 405 passed, 3 skipped (512 s). On the predicted merge with main `2fac9790` it ran `test_shape_doctor.py`, `test_doctor_validator_site.py`, `test_doctor_validator_rows.py`, `test_doctor_validator_verdicts.py`, `test_doctor_gitmodules_not_utf8.py`, `test_repo_hygiene.py`, `test_cli_reference.py` and `test_agents_md_codes.py`: 632 passed, 3 skipped (760 s).

On `426877bf`, after the fix round, which changes comments and docstrings only, so the runs above stand:

- The two tests the fix round touches, `test_an_exported_pythonpath_does_not_reach_a_template_validator` (3 cases) and `test_run_validator_gives_the_child_exactly_the_pythonpath_it_is_given` (6 cases), run by node id: 9 passed (11.7 s). The same 9 also passed (16.1 s) at `7f2bb36b`.
- `tests/test_repo_hygiene.py`: 77 passed (1.9 s). It also passed (2.0 s) at `7f2bb36b`.

No test fails on the base, because nothing here changes behaviour. The AST comparison above is the proof in their place.

`git merge-tree --write-tree` of this head against origin/main and against every ref on origin that could meet it. The full run was on 2026-10-16, with the head `7f2bb36b` (the one before the last comment commit) and main `20c8873b`: the 41 branches (`fix/*`, `l3-*`, `wip/*`, `docs/*` and `release/v1.0`) and the 55 PR heads from #630 up. That is 96 refs. I ran #731's head `ab55c29f` through the same list. After `426877bf` I re-ran main, now `2d988200`, and the six heads that edit `tests/test_shape_doctor.py`, the one file that commit touches (#705, #737, #740, `l3-669-members-row`, `l3-680-doctor-signals` and `l3-697-crash-cure-next`), and #630: all clean.

- **origin/main: clean.** At `20c8873b`, with the head `7f2bb36b`, the predicted tree is `6ead2ffc`. At `2d988200` (three `adopt-project.py` commits later, with their tests and a change in `scripts/shape_materialize.py`), with the head `426877bf`, it is `7ee5caf4`, and the squash is the same three files (43 added, 28 removed). #731's head `ab55c29f` is clean with `2d988200` too. This head with #731's head: clean.
- **#630's head `6fd33a93`: clean.** It conflicted with main in `docs/handbook.html` when this body was first drafted, and no longer does, with or without this change.
- **#700 and #702 have landed** (`55c6ba7d` and `20c8873b`), and so has #701, and #699, #717 and #719 for `adopt-project.py`. Their heads still merge clean with this head.
- **Every ref that edits `shape-doctor.py`, `tests/test_shape_doctor.py` or `adopt-project.py` merges clean with this head**, except the two old heads named in the bullet after next. They include the heads of PRs not on main yet (#705, #721, #737 and #742, and lane 3's `l3-680`, `l3-683`, `l3-687`, `l3-691` and `l3-697`, which were not on origin when this body was first drafted). #673 has no branch or PR head on origin.
- **Four refs conflict with origin/main on their own**, and so with this head: `docs/release-notes-v1.0.0` and `release/v1.0`, and the pre-squash heads of the landed #637 and #641. Their conflicts do not come from this change.
- **Two landed pre-squash heads conflict with this head only because they are old.** #632 conflicts with main on its own. #636 merges clean with main, but its old head conflicts with this head in `run_validator`'s docstring, next to the text #636 added; main has that text, and this head merges clean with main.
- **Refs that conflict with main on their own are not made worse.** #682, #745, #747, `fix/648`, `fix/681` and `fix/704` conflict with main in `templates/family-root/scripts/validate-family.py`; #742 and `l3-683` in `shape-doctor.py`. Each merges clean with this head.
- **Every other open head and branch: clean.**

Nothing from the issue. Its four lines are done. The decoy test's `sitecustomize` machinery is dead code under `-S` and I left it, because the issue says comment only. The comment above `reached` now says it is kept as a tripwire.

- **The decoy test's `sitecustomize.py` and exit-86 trap never run.** `DECOY_SITECUSTOMIZE`, `os._exit(86)` and the `(exit 86)` and `DECOY` clauses in `reached` can only fire for a child started without `-S`. They are kept as a tripwire and the comment says so. The other choice is to remove them; `test_run_validator_starts_every_child_with_no_site` already holds `-S`. Small, tests only.

Review: rv666, lane 5's independent review, approved a2113cf with nits; 7f2bb36 and 426877b take its S1 and N1 (above), and codex found no major issue at a2113cf. CI (Brett Heap's ruling 27 and his fast-refresh ruling of 2026-10-15T22:48:35Z): H0 426877b passed tests, tests-git-bash and SonarCloud; the head 32722b3 is a clean update-branch merge of main bf1f099, with tests-git-bash and SonarCloud green; and the local gate passed on its predicted squash tree 55d5d3b over main dcf62ed: the shape_doctor, scaffold_leg_path_collisions, repo_hygiene, agents_md_codes, cli_reference sets, 686 passed, 3 skipped, 1 xfailed. Landed on Brett Heap's word of 2026-10-17T10:59:39Z, relayed by lane 3 on #473: "merge lane 5's approved v1.1.0 drafts".

…e no bytecode under templates/, the launcher guard reads family.py's siblings child, the quoting-sentence inventory follows an aliased quoter, a suffixless tool and each tool's calling functions, and an S5778 pytest.raises builds its argument first (#665) (#724)

Four guards held less than they said. One commit, `151a0861`, on `8062810d`. No shipped behaviour changes except one environment variable in the generator's `--help` children. No `--help` text changes, so `docs/cli.md` is not regenerated. No quoting changes.

1. **`scripts/render-cli-reference.py`: `child_env()` sets `PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1`.** The template's `siblings.py` does `from bootstrap import ...` from its own directory, so the generator's `--help` child wrote `templates/family-root/scripts/__pycache__/bootstrap.cpython-312.pyc` (ignored by git, so silent). A person who runs the generator now gets the same tree as the test that runs it. The docstring says why. `tests/test_cli_reference.py` gets one test: the variable is in `child_env()` whatever the caller had, and an interpreter started under that environment reports `sys.dont_write_bytecode` as true.
2. **`tests/test_validator_child_encoding.py`: the launcher guard sees `family.py`.** `interpreter_runs` accepts `[sys.executable or PYTHON, ...]` as well as `[sys.executable, ...]`, and `LAUNCHERS` gains `"scripts/family.py": "inherited_child_environment"`. Dropping `env=` from `family.py siblings`' child (#214) now fails the guard.
3. **`tests/test_readme_windows_quoting_sentence.py`: the inventory holds what it claims.** It follows `from repo_shape import shell_line as joined` (and `joined = shell_line`, however many steps). It scans every file `git ls-files` lists (tracked, or new and not ignored) that is a `.py` file or starts with a `python` shebang, which adds the root `bootstrap`. It pins functions, not files, for the two tools the sentence names by particular lines: `scripts/family.py` (`_print_next`, `_switch_command`, `_add_command`, `_print_next_steps`, `_checked_mount_path`) and `setup-project.py` (`family_next_command`). `shape-doctor.py` stays every line, because the sentence says "`shape-doctor.py`'s lines". Only the bodies of `shell_quoted` and `shell_line` in `scripts/repo_shape.py` are exempt, by name; the rest of that file is not. Nothing about quoting changes: the Git Bash dialect (option (a)) is its own v1.1.1 issue, and when it moves `NAMED`, this table moves with it.
4. **`tests/test_bump_leg_paste_lines.py`: Sonar S5778.** `placement = bump_leg_module.leg_placement(leg)` before the `with pytest.raises(LegNotAsFound)` in `test_pasting_the_status_line_reads_that_leg`, as the test above it does. Five lines; the hunk is :401-405, away from #657's hunks.

**The reproduction (`.pyc`).** In a fresh shared clone at `8062810d`, with `PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE` unset, `python3 scripts/render-cli-reference.py --check` printed `[ok] docs/cli.md is what the generator produces` and left five `.pyc` files, among them `templates/family-root/scripts/__pycache__/bootstrap.cpython-312.pyc` at 11533 bytes (the size the issue reports). The same command on `151a0861` printed the same `[ok]` line and left none (`find . -name '*.pyc'` found 0).

**Mutants.** Each is applied to a copy at the head's test files; "old" is the same mutant under `8062810d`'s own tests.

| Mutant | New tests | Old tests |
|---|---|---|
| M0: drop `PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE` from `child_env()` (the base's behaviour) | `test_child_env_leaves_no_bytecode_in_the_trees_it_runs` fails: `KeyError: 'PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE'` | none to run |
| M1: drop `env=` from `family.py`'s `siblings` child (`scripts/family.py:6543`) | `test_the_tools_that_run_the_projects_validators_give_them_an_environment[scripts/family.py]` fails: ``scripts/family.py:6543 runs the interpreter without `env=inherited_child_environment()` `` | 55 passed (survives) |
| V2: `from repo_shape import shell_line as joined` and a call, in `update-shape.py` | `test_the_tools_that_quote_for_the_host_...` fails: files are `[family, setup-project, shape-doctor, update-shape]` | 3 passed (survives) |
| V3: `family.py`'s `_switch_command` calls `shell_line(..., "posix")` | `test_the_functions_that_quote_for_the_host_...[scripts/family.py]` fails: `_switch_command` missing from the calling functions | 3 passed (survives) |
| V5: a host-quoter call in the suffixless `bootstrap` | the file test fails: `bootstrap` is now among the files | 3 passed (survives) |
| V6 (the exemption): a third function of `scripts/repo_shape.py` calls `shell_line` | the file test fails: `scripts/repo_shape.py` is now among the files | 3 passed (survives) |

Each new failure is one test, and the other tests of the file stay green (`1 failed, 8 passed`; `1 failed, 55 passed`). V2, V3 and V5 are R588's mutants as the issue describes them.

On `151a0861`, one run, `run9.sh` (gh stub first on PATH, `GH_TOKEN` bogus, empty `GH_CONFIG_DIR`):

`tests/test_cli_reference.py tests/test_validator_child_encoding.py tests/test_readme_windows_quoting_sentence.py tests/test_bump_leg_paste_lines.py tests/test_family_siblings_placement.py tests/test_repo_hygiene.py`: **227 passed in 698.59s**.

Per file: `test_cli_reference.py` 23 (one new), `test_validator_child_encoding.py` 56 (one new case, `[scripts/family.py]`), `test_readme_windows_quoting_sentence.py` 9 (6 new: the `scripts/family.py` and `setup-project.py` function pins, the alias, the method name, the exemption, the suffixless file), `test_bump_leg_paste_lines.py` 33, `test_family_siblings_placement.py` and `test_repo_hygiene.py` 106 together.

- **origin/main `35133f29`** (includes #657 as `78fe3fff`, which edits `tests/test_bump_leg_paste_lines.py` at :53, :235-244 and `setup-project.py`): clean. On the predicted merge commit, `test_readme_windows_quoting_sentence.py` and `test_validator_child_encoding.py` pass (65 passed), and so does `test_bump_leg_paste_lines.py` (33 passed). `family_next_command` is still the only function in `setup-project.py` that calls `shell_word`.
- **#630** (`5b140bd3`): conflicts in `docs/handbook.html` only, and it does so against `8062810d` and `35133f29` without this commit, so not this change's. It changes `scripts/render-cli-reference.py`, `docs/cli.md` and `tests/test_repo_hygiene.py`; none of those hunks overlaps mine, and `merge-tree` reports no conflict in them.
- **Lane 4's `family.py` work:** the heads I could fetch are #670 (`pr670`) and #671; `fix/664-surviving-mutants` and `fix/696-setup-family-folder` are on origin too. Clean with each. Lane 4's other `family.py` branches (#684, #686, #688, #689, #693, #674) are not on origin and not in the shared `.git`, so I could not check them. Predicted merges with #670, #671 and lane 5's `fix/646` pass the two guards' files (65 passed each).
- **Other open heads touching a tool the inventory reads:** #703 and `fix/696` (`setup-project.py`), #699 (`adopt-project.py`), #700, #701, #702 and #705 (`shape-doctor.py`), `fix/664`: clean, and the inventory file passes on each predicted merge (9 passed each). #682, #698 and #706: clean.

- **No quoting change.** The Git Bash dialect (option (a)) is a separate v1.1.1 issue; the inventory only holds what the sentence says today.
- **`docs/release-notes/v1.0.0.md:532`** says the `.pyc` is left by `test_cli_reference.py`'s children. That is true of v1.0.0 and I left it. The v1.1.0 notes (#630) may want one line.
- **`--others` in the file listing.** A new, untracked tool is scanned before it is added, as `rglob` did; a tracked file deleted from the work tree is skipped.

- **A quoter handed on as a value is not a call.** `map(shell_quoted, words)` or `functools.partial(shell_line)` is not seen by the inventory (said in `host_calls`' docstring). Nothing does it today.
- **The function pin counts functions, not calls.** A function with two host-dialect calls where only one is switched to POSIX still passes. Today the one-call functions are `_switch_command`, `_print_next`, `_checked_mount_path`.
- **`_print_next_steps` prints a `cd {shell_quoted(work)}` line** the sentence's list (`NEXT`, `switch -c`, `add`, `git rm -r --cached`) does not name. It belongs to the Git Bash dialect issue.
- **The launcher guard's `LAUNCHERS` still has no row for `src/openreposhape/cli.py` (`run_child([sys.executable, ...], env)`) or `setup-project.py` (its own `run` with a `PYTHON` variable).** Both spell the child differently from `subprocess.run([sys.executable, ...])`.

Review: lane 5's independent review approved 151a086 with nits only, and codex reviewed it. CI (Brett Heap's ruling 27 and his fast-refresh ruling of 2026-10-15T22:48:35Z): H0 151a086 passed tests, tests-git-bash and SonarCloud; the head 949fd4d is a clean update-branch merge of main bf1f099, with tests-git-bash and SonarCloud green; and the local gate passed on its predicted squash tree 9cd4767 over main 974d482: the bump_leg_paste_lines, cli_reference, readme_windows_quoting_sentence, validator_child_encoding, adopt_plan_leg_path_help, repo_hygiene, agents_md_codes sets, 290 passed. Landed on Brett Heap's word of 2026-10-17T10:59:39Z, relayed by lane 3 on #473: "merge lane 5's approved v1.1.0 drafts".

Closes #665
