fix(audit): repair the merge-loss reconciliation exemption and classify how each loss happened (#324) - #2014
Conversation
…fy how each loss happened (#324) Two changes to the delivered `audit:merge-loss` detector. It stays ADVISORY, stays out of CI and off any schedule, and still exits 0 on findings — `#324`'s ownership decision is untouched and deliberately not pre-empted. **The exemption was dead since it was written.** `treeEntryReader` split `git ls-tree` output on the literal two-character sequence `\t` rather than a tab, so the "tree entry" kept the filename. Same-path comparisons are unaffected, which is why the tool still found real losses — but `isReconciliationMove` compares an inbox request against its `applied/` record, two different paths, so it could never match. Measured over a 14-day window: 51 findings / 255 flagged files / `filesExempted 0` before, and 11 findings / 66 flagged files / 189 exempted after a one-character fix. The exemption the script's own docstring says exists to stop inbox noise burying the genuine #1803 signal had never once fired. Why it escaped: every test injected `entryAt` directly, and bare entries compare equal whether or not the path was stripped. Closed permanently by extracting `parseTreeEntry` as an exported pure function and testing it against real `ls-tree` output. **The mechanism classifier is what makes the report readable.** `classifyRemoval` walks the commits touching each flagged file between the landing and the ref, oldest first, takes the first whose tree entry already equals the pre-landing entry, and reports whether that commit was a merge (the accidental case) or single-parent (usually deliberate, and its subject says why). Merge-resolution findings now sort first; `unknown` is reported rather than guessed. Over the window, 14 of 66 flagged files were merge-resolution removals — 13 from the one documented bad merge acf78bf — while all 53 others carried an explanatory single-parent subject. This orders the reading list; it does not filter, and it is not a verdict. A deliberate-looking commit can still be a mistake. Gate: `npm run verify:pr-local` fell through to executable scope and completed 9 checks with "failed: (none)" — lint, typecheck, full unit suite, check:rag:fixtures, check:medication-interactions, check:medication-lexicon-report. Focused suite 29 passed (was 16). Mutation-verified in three directions: reintroducing the `\t` bug fails 3 tests plus the self-test, walking newest-first fails the blame-the-oldest test, and treating `unknown` as deliberate fails 2 tests.

Summary
Two changes to the already-delivered
audit:merge-lossdetector, at your explicit request. It stays advisory, stays out of CI and off any schedule, still exits 0 on findings, and auto-closes nothing —#324's (a) schedule / (b) triage-owner / (c) one-tool-vs-two decisions are untouched and deliberately not pre-empted.

#324remains open. The three decisions it exists for are unmade, and this PR deliberately implements none of them. My recommendations, for when you want them: (a) weekly on a 14-day window rather than post-merge — a post-merge trigger fires ~380×/14 days here, and at merge time the loss has not happened yet; (b) route to a pinned issue reusing the live-drift routing already covered bytests/live-drift-workflow.test.ts, with one named human, and not a required check; (c) one tool with a--modeflag rather than a second detector, since the inbox case shares the window, landing enumeration and tree-entry comparison and differs only in paths and exemptions.main: Remove cross-mode “Also matches in other modes” panel and related mounts/tests #1804 — the removal ofUniversalSearchAlsoMatchesfrom forms mode is reverted, so the component is back atforms-search-results-page.tsx:44and:894with its guard assertions reverted; chore(deps): bump node from 24-bookworm-slim to 26-bookworm-slim in the docker-images group #1796 — theALLOWED_NODE_MAJOR_VERSIONS = [24, 26]allowance is gone, soworker/validate-runtime.ts:69still hard-codesnodeMajor() !== 24.
