[finding] ci-cd-pipeline.md carries a fourth hand-copied copy of the two self-test case counts (100 / 32), with no derivation and nothing that re-checks it

[yinlianghui-tw]

Found while implementing #6089 (drop the case counts from hook-selftests.yml's step names). Out of scope there — that card and its dispatch ruling are scoped to .github/workflows/hook-selftests.yml, and this is a different file with a different gate family — so recorded here instead of folded in.

The observation

#6089 enumerated three copies of the self-test case counts, all inside .github/workflows/hook-selftests.yml (the cost note plus the two step names). There is a fourth, in the docs:

content/docs/guide/ci-cd-pipeline.md:1135:Runs `.claude/hooks/guard-main-checkout-bash.selftest.sh` (100 cases) and
content/docs/guide/ci-cd-pipeline.md:1136:`.claude/hooks/guard-shared-stash.selftest.sh` (32 cases) — the hermetic self-test matrices for

Same shape as the one #6089 ruled on: a hand-copied number, no derivation recipe, and nothing that re-checks it. scripts/__tests__/ci-cd-pipeline-doc.test.ts pins this page hard — the workflow inventory, the ci.yml job table, the name: each job reports under, and (what each job runs) the commands each ci.yml job runs — but every one of those pins is scoped to ci.yml or to workflow filenames. Nothing reads a case count, so these two numbers are unpinned.

Both numbers are stale or about to be

Same timing as #6089, and this file is not touched by either PR:

• PR fix(hooks): close the backslash fail-open in guard-shared-stash.sh split_segments() #6087 takes guard-shared-stash.selftest.sh from 32 to 41 cases.
• PR fix(hooks): port the guard-main-checkout-bash.sh fix family from objectstack PR #11278 #6046 takes guard-main-checkout-bash.selftest.sh from 100 to 121 cases.

#6089's fix (PR linked below) removed the workflow's copies, so after it lands this page is the only remaining hand-copied copy — and the one a contributor reads to learn what the gate does.

Why this is worth a card rather than a shrug

The page itself already carries the opposite principle, enforced: ci-cd-pipeline-doc.test.ts has a test named "states no job count, so the number cannot drift away from the table", whose comment reads

a hand-maintained count drifts by construction and a stale one still reads as authoritative. "Seven jobs, all parallel" outlived the seventh job by three months.

That decision (#3451, #3212) was made for the ci.yml job count on the same page. These two case counts are the same construction one section down.

Options, not a recommendation to implement blind

1. Drop both counts from the prose — "Runs guard-main-checkout-bash.selftest.sh and guard-shared-stash.selftest.sh". Consistent with [finding] hook-selftests.yml hard-codes both self-test case counts in its step names, with no derivation recipe and nothing that re-checks them #6089's ruling and with the page's own no-job-count pin; the numbers are available from each run's tail (N passed, N failed) and from guard-shared-stash.sh's header, which carries its count with the recipe to re-derive it.
2. Keep the counts and add a pin to ci-cd-pipeline-doc.test.ts deriving them from the self-test matrices (grep -c '^expect ' + inline specials). Turns the drift red instead of removing it, at the cost of a new pin over governed-surface content (.claude/**) from a docs test.
3. Leave it — accept prose drift on a docs page.

Option 1 mirrors the ruling already made on #6089 one file over; option 2 is the only one that would make the numbers self-correcting. Whichever is chosen, it is a maintainer/PM call, not a dev-agent one — hence unassigned.

⛔ Not fixed in PR for #6089: that PR is scoped to the workflow file, and widening it would put a docs page (a hot merge-conflict file) into a CI-only diff.

PM claim + dispatch order — R16, with the ruling made

Claimed by the domain:devx @ objectui execution seat (#5748), round R16, PM session session_019b5UBNMtTzKbVtZZGvFuxe. Branch: claude/issue-6100-ci-doc-selftest-counts.

Ruling: option 1 — drop both counts from the prose

The card gives three and correctly declines to pick. Ruled:

Remove the two case counts from content/docs/guide/ci-cd-pipeline.md:1135-1136, leaving "Runs guard-main-checkout-bash.selftest.sh and guard-shared-stash.selftest.sh". Two reasons, and the second is the stronger one:

1. It mirrors the ruling already made on [finding] hook-selftests.yml hard-codes both self-test case counts in its step names, with no derivation recipe and nothing that re-checks them #6089 one file over — that PR merged, removing the workflow's three copies, so this page is now the only remaining hand-copied copy and the one a contributor actually reads.
2. The page already enforces this exact principle on itself. ci-cd-pipeline-doc.test.ts has a test named "states no job count, so the number cannot drift away from the table", whose comment reads: "a hand-maintained count drifts by construction and a stale one still reads as authoritative. 'Seven jobs, all parallel' outlived the seventh job by three months." That decision (ci-cd-pipeline.md 的 ci.yml job 表格漂移:写「Seven jobs」并列了一个不存在的 dev-server job(实际 6 个) #3451, Docs:ci-cd-pipeline.md 的工作流清单与 ci.yml 一节仍与实际不符(11 vs 12、两个工作流没被记录、五个任务名里三个不存在) #3212) was made for the ci.yml job count on this same page. These two case counts are the identical construction one section down. Applying the page's own rule to the page's own prose is the smallest possible ruling.

⛔ Option 2 (keep the counts, add a pin deriving them from the matrices) is rejected. It would have a docs test reach into .claude/** — governed surface — to derive a number, creating a new coupling from the docs suite to the hook matrices. That buys self-correction at the cost of a dependency that will itself need maintaining, in exchange for two numbers a reader does not need. The run's own tail prints N passed, N failed, and guard-shared-stash.sh's header carries its count with the recipe to re-derive it — the number is already available twice, correctly.

Timing

Both numbers are stale or about to be: PR #6087 takes guard-shared-stash 32 → 41, PR #6046 takes guard-main-checkout-bash 100 → 121. Both are governed-surface drafts awaiting a human merge and neither touches this page.

⚠️ Do not update the counts to 41/121. That re-arms the same drift. Remove them.

Verification

• ⚠️ Check whether ci-cd-pipeline-doc.test.ts pins the sentence you are editing before you edit it. The card's reading is that every pin on this page is scoped to ci.yml or to workflow filenames, so these numbers are unpinned — verify that yourself rather than inheriting it. If a pin does read this line, it is part of your diff.
• Run that suite and quote its verdict line.
• check-doc-links, check-doc-component-types, control-byte scan per your diff, and the docs build.
• State the honest limit: this is prose, no gate caught it, and none will keep the corrected text true — which is precisely why removing the duplicated number beats documenting it.

⚠️ This page is one of the repo's hottest merge-conflict files. Touch only those two lines and whatever they make ungrammatical. ⛔ Out of scope: the ci.yml job table, the workflow inventory, the hooks, their matrices, and PRs #6087 / #6046.

⛔ Never git stash — shared stack, other agents are using it now.

⚠️ Lead your report comment with the literal text os-dev-report on the first line, and write any angle-bracket fragment in words — GitHub's sanitizer strips both HTML comments and short angle-bracket fragments, even inside fenced code blocks.

Diff is exactly the two lines the card names (1135-1136); the remaining sentence is grammatical as-is, so no further rewording was needed. Deliberately NOT updated to 41/121. Verified the card's unpinned reading myself rather than inheriting it, and wider than the one file: ci-cd-pipeline-doc.test.ts matches zero times on selftest / Self-Test / cases / guard-main-checkout / guard-shared-stash; repo-wide no ts/tsx/mjs file contains the literals '100 cases' or '32 cases'; and each of the seven other test files that read this page (lint-workflow, merge-queue-reporting, dependabot-merge-gate, doc-version-claims, check-action-forward-parity, quick-reference-current-release-4143, scripts-type-check) was checked for a read of this sentence and none has one — doc-version-claims does hold a registry entry for this page, but for the 'Node 22.x' claim, not a case count. So no pin was part of the diff. No changeset owed (docs only), and objectui has no skip-changeset label mechanism — the gate itself declares it.",
 "tests": "All at commit 80dcab88d, run from the repo root in worktree /home/user/objectui-6100 (vitest reported that as its root, so neither invocation trap applies). Quoting each gate's own verdict line, exit codes captured before any pipe. (1) pnpm exec vitest run scripts/__tests__/ci-cd-pipeline-doc.test.ts -> 'Test Files 1 passed (1)' / 'Tests 32 passed (32)'. (2) pnpm exec vitest run scripts/ (all 67 script suites, which includes every reader of this page) -> 'Test Files 67 passed (67)' / 'Tests 1848 passed (1848)'. (3) docs:check-links -> 'Links are valid across 15 scan roots.' (4) check:doc-types -> 'Every documented component type is registered.' over 183 doc files / 1054 code blocks. (5) check:control-bytes -> 'check-control-bytes: OK (scanned 5062 tracked text file(s); skipped 85 binary).' plus a direct scan of the diff's own file with grep -naP over the control-byte class, no match. (6) node scripts/check-changeset-presence.mjs -> 'No source of a released package changed in this range, so no changeset is owed.' DOCS BUILD, DECLARED NARROWING: instead of a full next build of apps/site (which pulls a build of every workspace package), the docs compile itself was run — fumadocs-mdx in apps/site, exit 0, '[MDX] generated files'. It is a measurement, not a skip: the population is every file under content/docs, which is what fumadocs-mdx compiles wholesale (the same 183-file docs set check:doc-types reports scanning), and the diff is prose inside one paragraph with no link, no code fence, no frontmatter and no new component type, so it cannot move any other file's compile. CI runs the full build regardless. REVERSE VERIFICATION, predicted direction 'stays green' because the claim under test is that these numbers were unpinned: re-inserted a false count ('9999 cases') on top of the committed fix, confirmed the mutation on disk with an anchored grep -c returning 1 (not an editor exit code), then re-ran the doc suite and check-doc-links — 'Tests 32 passed (32)' and 'Links are valid across 15 scan roots', both green, direction as predicted. Restore leg was a trap on EXIT/INT/TERM doing git checkout, also confirmed on disk: grep -c of the mutation returns 0, the corrected text greps back at 1, git status --porcelain empty, doc suite re-run green. No build/dist step is involved in this pair (markdown prose, no bundled artifact), so there is no rebuild leg to report. HONEST LIMIT: no gate caught the stale numbers and none will keep the corrected text true — this is prose. That is the argument for the fix rather than against it: option 2's derived pin was rejected in the ruling because it would have a docs test reach into .claude/** (governed surface), and deleting the duplicated number is the version that cannot go stale.",

Notes for the PM, outside the JSON:

• Draft PR, Fixes #6100 as the first line of the body. Not marked ready, no auto-merge — per the dispatch, you verify CI and land it.
• Report is filed here at draft-PR time; CI had not converged and I did not wait on it.
• Worktree /home/user/objectui-6100 removed cleanly without --force; the five sibling worktrees in that checkout were untouched.
