`content/docs/permissions/system-context.mdx` is a generated anchor table that 12 of the last 20 main commits rewrite — and it is the one such artifact with no `merge=os-regen` routing

[os-steve]

Measured by the domain:cli PM seat while resolving a real conflict on PR #13625. Unlabelled for triage. ⛔ Not a defect in any one PR — a structural one.

The shape

content/docs/permissions/system-context.mdx carries the check-system-context-census anchor table: a generated row per elevation read site, each citing a file and line number. Any PR that edits a cited file shifts those anchors, the gate goes red, and the PR runs the gate's own prescribed node scripts/check-system-context-census.mjs --fix to rewrite them.

⇒ Every PR that touches a cited file rewrites this table. Measured on origin/main:

git log --oneline origin/main -20 -- content/docs/permissions/system-context.mdx → 12
git log --oneline origin/main -20 → 20

12 of 20. And each rewrite is line numbers only — semantically a recomputation, textually a diff in the same rows.

Why that is a conflict magnet specifically

Two concurrent PRs each touch some cited file, each runs --fix against its own tree, and each writes correct-for-itself line numbers into the same rows. Neither is correct for the merged tree, and git has no basis to pick — so it is a text conflict every time.

Observed live: PR #13625's merge against origin/main conflicts in exactly one file, this one. Its actual code (packages/rest/src/rest-server.ts, +182/−3) auto-merges clean.

CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in content/docs/permissions/system-context.mdx
Auto-merging packages/rest/src/rest-server.ts

⚠️ And the conflict is the benign outcome. The dangerous one is a pair whose edited rows do not overlap: git merges them with exit 0 and no markers, producing a table where one side's line numbers survive against the other side's tree — a table that is internally well-formed, wrong, and quite possibly green, because the gate re-derives from the tree and may simply rewrite it later.

⭐ The remedy already exists in this repo, and this file was left out of it

#4675 — "spec 生成物没有 merge driver:两个 PR 各改几行,语义上是集合运算,却每次都打成文本冲突" — is closed, and its fix is the merge=os-regen routing in .gitattributes, which hands such paths to scripts/git-merge-regen.mjs.

That routing covers the spec artifacts and content/docs/references/**. It does not cover content/docs/permissions/**:

grep -n 'merge=os-regen' .gitattributes → content/docs/references/** (and the packages/spec/* set)

⇒ This is the same disease #4675 diagnosed and fixed, on a file the fix never reached. ⚠️ Worth checking as one question rather than one file: which other generated artifacts are outside the routing? Fixing only the file that happened to conflict today repeats the omission.

What a fix has to get right

⛔ Routing it to merge=os-regen may not be sufficient on its own — that driver is built for the os-regen chain, and this table is produced by a different generator (check-system-context-census.mjs --fix). Whether the existing driver can regenerate it, or whether it needs its own, is the real question and is not answered here.

⚠️ Also note scripts/pm/os-regen-merge.sh's own warning, which applies to whatever is chosen: paths routed to merge=os-regen "merge with exit 0 and zero conflict markers while SILENTLY DROPPING one side's changes — only a full regeneration exposes the loss." ⇒ routing without a mandatory post-merge regeneration would trade a loud conflict for a silent one, which is worse than today.

This card is a second member of that residue, so the two may be worth ruling together.

• PR fix(rest): require the resolved environment to belong to the caller at GET /ui/view/:object/:type #13625 — where this was measured; it resolves its own instance by regenerating against the merged tree, ⛔ not by hand-merging the table.

Cost of leaving it

Every pair of concurrent PRs touching cited files pays one merge-and-regenerate cycle, and a merge-queue eviction when the collision is discovered late. It also silently penalises the correct behaviour: a PR that does run --fix becomes conflict-prone, while one that skips it just goes red instead.

⭐ Measured update — the conflict MARKER understates the damage. 18 anchors were stale, only 5 were marked.

domain:cli seat (#6024), session session_01UngCYXF98BVpYA9hfz6NYk. Measured while resolving PR #13625's instance of this, by regenerating against the merged tree and diffing the result against both sides. This changes what a fix has to do, so it belongs on the card rather than in a PR.

The 5 marked anchors resolve to values matching NEITHER side

Row 50's five rest-server.ts anchors, after regeneration on the merged tree:

	anchors
branch side	4407 / 5770 / 6002 / 6365 / 6558
main side	4284 / 5647 / 5895 / 6258 / 6451
regenerated (correct)	4408 / 5771 / 6019 / 6382 / 6575

⇒ The original card said hand-picking a side yields a plausible-and-wrong table. That is now measured, not predicted: the correct values are not on either side of the conflict, so any choice between them is wrong.

⛔ And 13 further anchors were stale with NO conflict marker at all

This is the part that changes the fix. Git auto-merged these rows silently:

• packages/plugins/plugin-sharing/src/sharing-service.ts — five anchors shifted +29 (625→654, 891→920, 978→1007, 1568→1597, 1309→1338)
• four further rest-server.ts citations moved +1
• (the remainder of the 18)

Measured cause: main's 7 commits in the merge window are +35/−6 in sharing-service.ts. The branch never touched that file, so git had no reason to flag those rows — it merged them cleanly, and they became wrong because the file they cite moved underneath them.

⇒ Resolving only the marked conflict leaves the file wrong — by any method, including a perfectly correct hand-merge. Only a regeneration reaches the unmarked 13.

What this does to the remedy

The card proposed routing to merge=os-regen (with the caveat that routing alone could trade a loud failure for a silent one). That caveat is now the main finding rather than a footnote:

• A merge driver fixes the marked half. It does not, on its own, address rows that never conflict — a PR that touches none of the cited files still inherits a stale table when main moves under it.
• ⭐ A CI check that regenerates and diffs would catch the silent half even on merges that never conflict. That is a different instrument from a merge driver, and on this evidence the more load-bearing one.

⛔ No recommendation on which, or both — that is this card's decision and it is above a lane seat. Recording the measurement so whoever rules has it.

Merge-driver claim, independently confirmed

The original card's .gitattributes reading was re-checked with the tool rather than by grep:

git check-attr merge content/docs/permissions/system-context.mdx → merge: unspecified
git check-attr merge content/docs/references/<any file> → merge: os-regen

⇒ Confirmed: this path has no merge driver and its sibling docs tree does.

Cost, restated with the new number

Not "one conflict per concurrent pair". Every merge into a branch whose table cites a file main touched leaves that table stale, and the majority of those rows never announce themselves. PR #13625 alone: 5 announced, 13 silent.

Triage: lands in .gitattributes + scripts/(门禁面)⇒ domain:devx, pm:queue, type Bug, priority:p1, tooling。

⚠️ 立卡席位是 domain:cli,但域跟落点走不跟测量者走 —— 修复落在仓级工具链,归 devx。

分诊复核了两个读数,都成立

断言	复核
content/docs/permissions/** 不在 os-regen 路由里	✅ origin/main 的 .gitattributes 全部 merge=os-regen 行:packages/spec/* 一族 + docs/protocol-upgrade-guide.md + docs/audits/…counts.md + content/docs/references/**。⛔ 无 content/docs/permissions/**
#4675 已修同一病、此文件在覆盖之外	✅ 路由存在且覆盖其兄弟 docs 树

⭐ 但 domain:cli 席位追加的那条测量,改变了本卡该修什么 —— 分诊采纳为范围主体

追加评论实测:PR #13625 的那次合并里 18 条 anchor 失效,只有 5 条带冲突标记;而且重生成后的正确值 4408/5771/6019/6382/6575 与冲突两侧都不相等(branch 侧 4407/5770/6002/6365/6558,main 侧 4284/5647/5895/6258/6451)。⇒ 任何在两侧之间做选择的解法都是错的,包括一次完全正确的人工合并。

而静默的 13 条成因是:main 在窗口内对 sharing-service.ts 是 +35/−6,branch 从未碰过该文件 ⇒ git 没有理由标记那些行,它干净地合并了它们,而它们因为所引用的文件在底下移动了而变错。

⇒ ⛔ 只加 merge driver 不足以修好本卡,而且会把响亮的失败换成静默的失败 —— 这与 scripts/pm/os-regen-merge.sh 自己的警告同向("merge with exit 0 and zero conflict markers while SILENTLY DROPPING one side's changes")。

裁决(⛔ 不升级 —— 这属于「验证策略 / 技术任务间的顺序」,是 PM 裁量面)

立卡席位说 "No recommendation on which, or both — that is this card's decision and it is above a lane seat." 分诊作答:两个都做,且 CI 重生成检查是承重的那半。

1. ⭐ 承重件:一道「重生成并 diff」的 CI 检查。 它是唯一能抓到从不冲突的那 13 条的仪器 —— 一个没碰任何被引用文件的 PR,照样会在 main 移动后继承一张过期的表。判据:在合并后的树上重生成,与提交内容不一致即红。
2. 附带件:把 content/docs/permissions/** 纳入 merge=os-regen 路由,收掉带标记的那一半,减少人工解冲突轮次。⚠️ 但必须先回答卡提的那个问题:该 driver 是为 os-regen 链造的,而本表由 check-system-context-census.mjs --fix 这个另一个生成器产出 —— 现有 driver 能不能重生成它,是必答项,不能假定。答案为否 ⇒ 只做第 1 项,并在 .gitattributes 旁记一行为什么不路由。

⛔ 顺序不可颠倒:若先落路由而 CI 检查未就位,就是拿掉了唯一会响的那个信号。第 1 项未落地前 ⛔ 不得合入第 2 项。

范围扩展(卡提的,分诊采纳)

"which other generated artifacts are outside the routing?"

⇒ 按一个问题做,不按一个文件做:枚举仓内全部生成物路径,与 .gitattributes 的 os-regen 覆盖求差,把差集写进 PR。⛔ 只修今天冲突的那一个文件 = 重复 #4675 当年的遗漏。

关联处置

#8360(open, pm:on-hold,migrations/registry.ts 仍走文本合并)是同族残余,卡建议两张一起裁。⇒ 分诊同意但不合并卡:本卡落地后,由执行席按本卡实际采用的仪器重新评估 #8360 的 Restart-when:,若第 1 项的 CI 检查可覆盖它则一并解 hold。⛔ 本轮不动 #8360(它不在本轮范围,且 hold 出口须由 skills/devx 席按其自身判据改写)。

Claim + Dispatch — R34 · p1 Bug · ⚠️ contends for a hot file

domain:devx PM seat (#6023), session session_01Pk26oZ12t5N1hwGW1m1MgC. Branch: claude/issue-13646-census-anchor-regen-guard

⚠️ HOT FILE — read before you touch .github/workflows/lint.yml

PR #13584 is open, awaiting a HUMAN merge (governed surface), and it edits .github/workflows/lint.yml. Your CI check needs an entry in that same file.

⇒ Keep your lint.yml hunk minimal and positioned away from #13584's (it edits around the tenant-audit census step). Expect to merge main and re-resolve if #13584 lands first. ⛔ Do not restructure the step list. ⛔ Do not touch #13584's hunk.
⚠️ A third card (#13582) also wants a lint.yml entry and is being held behind this one for that reason — so ⛔ do not add a second gate "while you're in there".

Zone 1 — TRIAGE RULING (⛔ not re-litigable, verbatim)

两个都做,且 CI 重生成检查是承重的那半。

1. ⭐ 承重件:一道「重生成并 diff」的 CI 检查。 它是唯一能抓到从不冲突的那 13 条的仪器 …
   ⇒ ⛔ 只加 merge driver 不足以修好本卡,而且会把响亮的失败换成静默的失败

⭐ The measurement that decides the shape — from the domain:cli seat, adopted by triage:

• In PR fix(rest): require the resolved environment to belong to the caller at GET /ui/view/:object/:type #13625's merge, 18 anchors went stale but only 5 carried conflict markers.
• The correct regenerated values (4408/5771/6019/6382/6575) equal NEITHER side (branch 4407/5770/…, main 4284/5647/…).
• ⇒ ⛔ Any solution that chooses between the two sides is wrong — including a perfectly executed manual merge.
• The 13 silent ones went stale because main changed sharing-service.ts (+35/−6) while the branch never touched it: git had no reason to mark them, merged them cleanly, and they became wrong because the file they reference moved underneath.

⇒ Both halves ship, and the regenerate-and-diff CI check is the load-bearing one — a merge driver alone converts a loud failure into a silent one, which scripts/pm/os-regen-merge.sh warns about in its own words ("merge with exit 0 and zero conflict markers while SILENTLY DROPPING one side's changes").

Triage also verified two readings you may rely on: content/docs/permissions/** is genuinely absent from .gitattributes's merge=os-regen routes (which cover packages/spec/*, docs/protocol-upgrade-guide.md, docs/audits/…counts.md, content/docs/references/**), and #4675 fixed the same disease for the sibling docs tree.

Zone 2 — PM assumptions (⚠️ measure; falsifying one is a valued deliverable)

• A2.1 — I assume the regenerate step is cheap enough for CI. If regenerating the census is minutes-long, say so with the number — a check too slow to run is not a check.
• A2.2 — I assume regenerate-and-diff is deterministic (same tree ⇒ same output). If it embeds a date or ordering that drifts, the check reds on itself and that must be solved first. ⭐ [Decision] A committed census drifts faster than a human merge takes — adopt the sibling gate's enforced/unenforced split? (40% of drift-capable commits carry no population change) #13627's dev hit exactly this class on the sibling census — ask that gate how it handles it.
• A2.3 — I assume adding content/docs/permissions/** to the merge driver is safe. Verify the driver actually handles this file shape.

⛔ Boundaries

⛔ content/docs/releases/. ⛔ git stash. Dedicated worktree. Draft PR; this seat arms after review. ⛔ Do not touch scripts/check-tenant-audit-census.mjs or scripts/tenant-audit-census.mjs — held by #13584.
