Lane: openreposhape-2 (openRepoShape-2)
Claim: opensoft/openRepoTools#198 (comment)

Act 2, slice 2a: the spec leg's half. This lands together with its code half, opensoft/openRepoTools-code#18 (head 56a9b87), never ahead of it. It is stacked on slice 1b's spec half, #15, and has merged that half's new head.

The commit message of 3f30c51, the slice's commit, follows in full: what this carries, the one meeting with opensoft/openRepoTools#263 and how it is resolved, and the receipt.


The lane manual's exit rows 2, 6 and 7 carry act 2 slice 2a: write-handoff answers the restart fences 7, keeps on HEAD a handoff origin changed or deleted meanwhile, and names an Amendment 8(d) handoff whose commit or push failed (opensoft/openRepoTools#198, slice 2a)

What this carries: slice 2a's own change to the spec leg's paths, from its
last merge of slice 1b, as git diff 59551dd97f0d7efed966fa0fd357b65c186ed530 7bc572cdbf27afeb692a7f98aeeb095d52c5f38f -- docs specs openspec on
opensoft/openRepoTools (the archived feat/198-a23-slice-2a-handoff-verbs
from its base on 1b). That is three rows of docs/README-lanes.md's exit
table, +3 -3:

  • row 2 adds publish-handoff's restart fence on its bound file or
    pre-image, which write-handoff answers 7 instead;
  • row 6 adds a whole-file write-handoff whose copy origin changed
    meanwhile (S4.4), a --stamp or --prepend one whose handoff origin
    deleted meanwhile (one moved with its row's cell is replayed into the
    moved file), and an Amendment 8(d) handoff whose commit or push in its
    own repository failed;
  • row 7 adds publish-handoff / write-handoff's restart fence.

The patch's base is 2a's base on 1b, which this leg does not hold, so it is
applied as a three-way merge onto the slice 1b commit below (base: the
manual at 59551dd; ours: this leg's 1b; theirs: the manual at 2a). Row 2
merges clean. One conflict, rows 5 to 7, resolved by the 10-24 rehearsal's
rule for rows 5 and 6 (each side changed its own rows; keep both whole):

The word diff of this commit is the word diff of 59551dd..7bc572c on
docs/, byte for byte.

Receipt: the old act-2 commits of opensoft/openRepoTools whose changes to
docs/ this carries (git log --format='%h %s' 59551dd..7bc572c -- docs).
The three merges of slice 1b in it brought 1b's own text, which the commit
below this one carries. The split rewrote this leg's history, so these ids
are the assembly's, which kept the whole history:

c962db7 A57: 604, as lane openRepoTools-3 ruled it, write-handoff commits and pushes an Amendment 8(d) handoff in its own repository, as lane-start and lane-handoff did at e2037b9, and never in another clone of the register (opensoft/openRepoTools#198, slice 2a, review of opensoft/openRepoTools#312)
36a25da A56: 603, write-handoff answers the shared act's two restart-fence 2s (the bound file, the pre-image) with 7, so its 2 is never a restart fence's; publish-handoff keeps its documented 2 (opensoft/openRepoTools#198, slice 2a, review of opensoft/openRepoTools#312)
f43deb3 Merge slice 1b at 59551dd into slice 2a: four blocks resolved as unions, and cp_own_commit given the whole message with the Lane: trailer (opensoft/openRepoTools#198, review of opensoft/openRepoTools#312, 606)
68014b4 A48: A46 follows a moved handoff only to a file the replay can write, so a peer that empties the row's cell, or points it at a name origin has no file for or outside handoffs/, keeps the --stamp or --prepend on HEAD (6) instead of dropping it with nothing written (opensoft/openRepoTools#198, slice 2a)
e2037b9 A46: A37 keeps a --stamp or --prepend on HEAD only where a replay could not follow the handoff, so a handoff a peer moves with its row's cell mid-push is replayed into the moved file instead of kept (opensoft/openRepoTools#198, slice 2a)
76a019b A37: write-handoff names the handoff --stamp and --prepend edit in place in slice 1b's CP_KEEP_IF_GONE, so a peer that deletes it while the push is in flight leaves the write kept on HEAD and named, instead of replayed into nothing (opensoft/openRepoTools#198, slice 2a)
287f6e5 Merge slice 1b at e6ea8f8 into slice 2a: exit rows 2 and 6 list both sides' new causes (opensoft/openRepoTools#198)
b02618c Merge slice 1b at 10169f3 into slice 2a: exit 6 names both sides' new causes, and both sides' new globals are kept (opensoft/openRepoTools#198)
357ec07 write-handoff writes a lane's handoff in the checkout its writes go through, as a Rule 3 stamp, a new top block or a whole prepared file, under S3, the translation, the restart fences and S4, and handoff-path says where that is (opensoft/openRepoTools#198, slice 2a stage 2)

Checks: this leg has no CI of its own (no .github/ on any ref). The
composed job in opensoft/openRepoTools runs the code leg's suite against a
pinned spec commit, so this text is checked there once a pin names it.
Run locally, with this tree as OPENREPOTOOLS_SPEC_ROOT:

  • the five tests of slice 2a's own tests/test_repo_hygiene.py (at
    7bc572c) that read this manual: 5 passed;
  • the shell suite's 18 assertions that quote this manual, replayed alone:
    18 passed;
  • against the code leg's main (2a057a6) the exit-3 row test fails, as on
    the commit below, until the code half of slice 1b lands.

  458cdde spells origin's tracking ref in full there, `git cherry -v

  1b is at 59551dd). The two changes touch different words of the row;

…nto slice 2a's spec half, so each landing tree equals the tree its head was tested with and the stack lands on spec main in order (opensoft/openRepoTools#198)

The merge is clean. Its tree equals what `git merge-tree --write-tree` gave
for 3f30c51 and 0cca428 before the merge was made (3cb3525), and
`docs/README-lanes.md` is the only file either side touched. No conflict
was resolved by hand, and no line of the slice's text was changed.

This is an added commit on the draft branch, not a rewrite: 3f30c51 stays
an ancestor, so the push is a fast-forward.

…in the handoff's own repository, so no write in the lane checkout refuses over it, though the row's last sentence says every later write refuses (NIT 5; opensoft/openRepoTools#198)

The 8(d) cause sits among the kept-on-HEAD causes of exit 6, and the row
ends "Every later write from that checkout refuses until the lane publishes
or archives it". That holds for the other causes and is false for 8(d): the
commit is in the handoff's own repository, not on the lane checkout's
HEAD. The clause now ends with "(that commit is in that repository; no write
here refuses over it)". The code leg's `lanes-edit.sh` takes the same words
into its 8(d) clause. No other word of the row changed.

brettheap pushed a commit to opensoft/openRepoTools-code that referenced this pull request Nov 8, 2026
… 8(d) clause of exit row 6 says its commit is in the handoff's own repository, the comment on 605 says A59, and two composite asserts are split (opensoft/openRepoTools#198, slice 2a, NITs 5, 6 and 7)

- NIT 5: the header's exit row 6 listed 604's Amendment 8(d) cause among
  the kept-on-HEAD causes, and the row ends "Every later write from that
  checkout refuses under S3 until the lane publishes or archives it". That
  is false for 8(d): the commit is in the handoff's own repository, and no
  write in the lane checkout refuses over it. The clause now ends "(that
  commit is in that repository; no write here refuses over it)", the words
  opensoft/openRepoTools-spec#16's exit row 6 takes (its NIT 5 commit), on
  one line so the two can be found together. No test compares the code's
  header with the manual's row 6: the hygiene test that does (the exit-3
  row) reads row 3, and a read of every test that opens the manual found
  none that quotes row 6 or 8(d).
- NIT 6: the comment on the fenced `--prepend` said "605; A58". The change
  is A59 (decision 27); A58 is 732.
- NIT 7: SonarCloud's S9073, composite asserts, at the test file's A46 and
  A52 cases: `assert _origin_has(box, MOVED_REL) and not _origin_has(box,
  HANDOFF_REL)` and `assert HANDOFF_REL not in names and odd in names` are
  each two asserts with a message. An AST scan of both test files for an
  `assert` whose test is an `and` or `or` found those two in
  tests/test_a23_write_handoff.py before, and none after.
  tests/test_handoff_skill_commit_block.py:911 (984) is slice 3's: it is
  not in this slice's file at all (483 lines here, 1207 at slice 3's f2340ad,
  where it is line 901, `assert block_file and block_file != "<none>",
  first.stdout`, in `test_block_1_block_2_and_step_4_each_in_its_own_shell_
  carry_what_step_2_did`), so this slice does not touch that file and
  slice 3's next merge of this head has nothing to conflict on there.
