Summary

  • Add a "RelayFlow PR Proof" section to AGENTS.md (mirrored into CLAUDE.md, a symlink to it) documenting the proof gate's PR-body requirements.
  • Written after relay#1650's fix sat blocked because the marker-line format, accepted change types, and case-id source lived only in scripts/pr-proof/contract.mjs and tests/relayflows/cases/README.md, with nothing at the repo root pointing future PR authors there.

What's documented

  • The two literal marker lines the gate requires, with the load-bearing HTML comments and backticked values.
  • The accepted Change type values (feature, bugfix, non-functional) and that a runtime change can't declare non-functional.
  • Where RelayFlow case ids come from, and that picking a case must actually exercise the changed behavior rather than reusing a convenient passing one.
  • The exact failure message so a blocked PR author can grep straight to the fix.

Docs-only change (.md), so it is exempt from the proof requirement itself — declared non-functional / n/a below, matching the contract this PR documents.

RelayFlow Proof

  • Change type: non-functional
  • RelayFlow case: n/a

Do not merge — chartered for review only.

Review in cubic

The proof gate's classification requirements (marker line shape, accepted
change types, case-id source) lived only in scripts/pr-proof/contract.mjs
and tests/relayflows/cases/README.md, so relay#1650's fix sat blocked on a
PR-body format nobody had documented at the repo root.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change documents RelayFlow PR proof metadata in AGENTS.md and reformats two compacted trajectory artifacts without changing their content.

Changes

RelayFlow proof documentation

Layer / File(s)Summary
Document PR proof metadata
AGENTS.md
Documents required relay-pr-proof:type and relay-pr-proof:case comments, valid change types, case lookup, the n/a value, title fallback regex, and matching behavior.

Trajectory formatting

Layer / File(s)Summary
Reformat compacted trajectories
.trajectories/compacted/release-11.10.2.json, .trajectories/compacted/release-11.10.2.md
Collapses selected JSON arrays and adds Markdown spacing. The content remains unchanged.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes

Merge Risk:🔵 Low · up to 6bac3

The documentation update may fail Markdown linting because two added code fences lack language identifiers. Add language identifiers before merging.

P2 Badge Require proof metadata on non-functional PRs as well

This incorrectly limits the metadata requirement to feature and bug-fix PRs. classifyPullRequest unconditionally reports missing type and case markers before deciding whether Cloud proof is required, so a docs- or workflow-only PR with no markers fails the dispatcher too. State that every PR must provide both markers, with non-functional changes using non-functional and n/a.

P2 Badge State that the declared case must be changed

For a runtime change already covered by an existing case, “pick or add a case” suggests that merely selecting the existing case is valid. The dispatcher in scripts/pr-proof/prepare.mjs rejects the PR unless it changes a file under the declared case directory, and it rejects changes to any additional case directory. Document that the PR must change exactly its one declared case so authors do not follow these instructions into a deterministic gate failure.

- The PR title must still match `^(feat|fix)(\([^)]*\))?!?:` for the check to

P2 Badge Do not require a conventional title for fallback

The classifier does not require this title shape when proof metadata supplies feature or bugfix; metadataKind alone makes the proof required. Moreover, if changed-file enumeration fails, following this instruction on a non-functional PR—for example, using fix(docs): ... with non-functional/n/a—causes classifyPullRequest to reject it, while a non-conventional docs title passes the fallback. Presenting the regex as mandatory therefore recommends the wrong recovery behavior.

…rettierignore from the proof contract
.trajectories/compacted/*.{md,json} are pre-existing on main and already
fail `prettier --check .` (confirmed: this currently fails the `Test`
workflow's "Check formatting" job on any PR that touches them, and PR #1651
hit the identical drift independently). prettier-fmt-fix.yml runs
`npm run format` over the whole repo on every PR push, not just the diff,
so it kept re-committing the same "fix" to this branch every time it was
reverted, and each such commit falsely classified this PR as touching
runtime files under scripts/pr-proof/contract.mjs's
NON_RUNTIME_PATH_PATTERNS allowlist.
- .prettierignore: add `.trajectories/`, matching the existing
`.agentworkforce/trajectories/` entry.
- contract.mjs: add `.trajectories/` (session/compaction logs, never
imported at runtime) and `.prettierignore` (formatter config, same class
as the existing `.editorconfig` entry) to NON_RUNTIME_PATH_PATTERNS.
- Revert the two files back to their pre-drift, un-formatted state — main's
actual current content — now that nothing will re-flag them.

pull_request_target deliberately runs the RelayFlow proof dispatcher's
script from the BASE branch, not the PR head (see relayflow-pr-proof.yml's
own security-boundary comment) — so this PR could never make its own
NON_RUNTIME_PATH_PATTERNS edit take effect against itself. Reverting to
keep this PR scoped to the actual npm-pin fix; the .prettierignore gap for
.trajectories/ is a real, separate, pre-existing issue (confirmed via CI:
it currently fails the Test workflow's "Check formatting" job, and PR #1651
hit the identical drift independently) — worth a standalone follow-up, not
bundled into an unrelated CI-crash fix.
