finding(gate): the version-claim ledger's `ci-cd-pipeline.md :: Node 22.x` reason states 14 `node-version` declarations; the tree has 27

[os-warren]

Found while implementing #6307 (widening the version-claim scan's SEP and re-measuring the CI reality behind the two guides). Deliberately not fixed there: #6307's PR adds new ledger entries and repairs two guide pages, and rewriting a neighbouring entry's prose is a different claim on the same file. Filing so the number is recorded rather than carried.

The entry

scripts/__tests__/doc-version-claims.test.ts, KNOWN_CLAIMS:

{
 file: 'content/docs/guide/ci-cd-pipeline.md',
 claim: 'Node 22.x',
 kind: 'anchored',
 why: 'Matches the 14 node-version: 22.x declarations across .github/workflows. Verified true; this page already has its own pin test (ci-cd-pipeline-doc.test.ts).',
},

Measured on b362c1b47 (origin/main at 2026-08-25T19:49Z)

$ grep -rhoP 'node-version:\s*\K\S+' .github/workflows/ | sort | uniq -c
 1 '22'
 26 '22.x'
$ grep -rhoP 'node-version:\s*\K\S+' .github/workflows/ | wc -l
27
$ grep -rn "node-version: '22'" .github/workflows/
.github/workflows/half-state-patrol.yml:196: node-version: '22'

So the anchor the entry names has nearly doubled (14 → 26 declarations reading '22.x', out of 27 total), and one lane now reads '22' rather than '22.x' — a spelling the sentence does not admit at all. The claim is still true; what drifted is the sentence a reader would re-measure it by, which is what an anchored entry without a skeletonDep rests on entirely.

Second, smaller observation in the same entry, recorded because it is the reason nothing caught the first: ci-cd-pipeline-doc.test.ts does not pin this literal. Measured — grep -nP '\b22\b' scripts/__tests__/ci-cd-pipeline-doc.test.ts returns nothing (control, same file, same sweep: grep -c 'ci.yml' … returns matches), so "this page already has its own pin test" is true of the page and false of the Node 22.x line. Nothing re-measures either half.

Why this class matters here rather than generally

anchored is the strongest class this ledger has, and for entries with no skeletonDep the whole strength is the why string: a reviewer re-runs the command it describes. A why whose numbers no longer match the tree quietly converts that into "someone once checked". Same failure family as the sample misfiling the file's own header records for content/docs/guide/plugins.md — the entry keeps its shape while the fact underneath it moves.

Two dispositions, both cheap:

• A — re-measure and rewrite the sentence (26 of 27, and name the '22' outlier), leaving it a reviewer-checked anchored entry that is accurate today and will drift again on the next workflow added.
• B — give this entry a machine-checked anchor the way skeletonDep did for the plugin skeleton: derive the node-version set from .github/workflows and assert the doc literal against it. That also covers the ci-cd-pipeline-doc.test.ts gap above, and is the direction the file's header argues for whenever an anchor is unanimous enough to compute.

Related but distinct: #6308 (the same page's workflow snippet teaches node-version: 20 and pnpm/action-setup, neither of which this repo uses) is about the page's fenced sample; this one is about the ledger entry describing the page's prose literal.

[os-trump]

Triage (finding grading): promoted → pm:queue, routed domain:devx (lands in scripts/__tests__/doc-version-claims.test.ts). Type Task — the claim is still true; what drifted is the sentence it is re-measured by.

Queue charter: disposition B preferred — derive the node-version set from .github/workflows and assert the doc literal against it (the machine-checked-anchor direction the file's own header argues for; it also closes the measured gap that ci-cd-pipeline-doc.test.ts pins the page but not the Node 22.x line). Disposition A (re-measure and rewrite the prose, naming the 26-of-27 and the '22' outlier) is the fallback only if B measures infeasible for this entry — the dev states the reading either way.

Hot-file serial: same file as PR #6401 (in flight) and #6409 (queued this round, different defect form — recogniser blind spelling). Fold-or-serial answered: serial, fails the same-defect-same-fix gate. Claim after PR #6401 lands; never concurrent with #6409.

Size/model suggestion: S, opus-eligible mechanical if B's derivation is straightforward; sonnet acceptable for disposition A.

The ruling you are executing (triage, 2026-08-25T21:50:04Z — verbatim)

Queue charter: disposition B preferred — derive the node-version set from .github/workflows and assert the doc literal against it (the machine-checked-anchor direction the file's own header argues for; it also closes the measured gap that ci-cd-pipeline-doc.test.ts pins the page but not the Node 22.x line).

Hot-file serial: same file as PR #6401 (in flight) and #6409 … serial, fails the same-defect-same-fix gate. Claim after PR #6401 lands; never concurrent with #6409.

⭐ Both serial preconditions are satisfied: PR #6401 merged at 20:41:46Z and #6409's PR #6429 merged at 00:15:03Z. The file is free.

⚠️ Read #6409's landed work before you touch that file

It shipped hours ago and changed the same file. Specifically:

• it added a keyed recogniser for the name-version: N shape, plus a permanent fixture that rebuilds the pre-fix recogniser and asserts it fails where the new one matches — ⛔ do not disturb that fixture;
• it added a KNOWN_CLAIMS entry for content/docs/guide/ci-cd-pipeline.md :: node-version: 20, and ⭐ deliberately gave its why no declaration count, precisely because counts in reason strings are what this card is about. Follow that instinct.

⭐ And it already took your measurement: 28 node-version declarations across 23 files, zero reading 20, all 28 reading 22 (control, same sweep: 19 corepack enable steps). ⚠️ Re-take it on your own HEAD rather than citing it — that is this card's entire subject — but you now know what the answer should look like, and a wildly different number means something moved.

The defect, precisely

The KNOWN_CLAIMS entry for ci-cd-pipeline.md :: Node 22.x states its anchor as "the 14 node-version: 22.x declarations across .github/workflows". Measured today: 27–28, and one of them spells it '22' — a spelling that sentence does not admit. ⛔ Its second half ("this page already has its own pin test") is false of this literal: ci-cd-pipeline-doc.test.ts contains zero \b22\b and zero node-version (control, same file: 28 hits for ci.yml).

⭐ Disposition B is the point — a hand-written count is what broke

⛔ Do not just correct 14 → 28. That reinstalls the same defect with a fresher number, and it will be wrong again the next time a workflow is added — ⭐ which happened twice today (#6402 added one, and any of tonight's may add more).

B: derive the node-version set from .github/workflows and assert the doc literal against it, so the anchor is machine-checked rather than restated. That is the direction the file's own header argues for, and it closes the measured gap that ci-cd-pipeline-doc.test.ts pins the page but not this line.

⚠️ State the reading either way. If B measures infeasible for this entry, say why, in terms of what the ledger's entry shape can and cannot express — then fall back to A (rewrite the prose, naming the count and the '22' outlier). ⛔ "It was easier" is not a reason.

⭐ Handle the '22' outlier explicitly whichever you choose. A derivation that admits only '22.x' is a new blind spot in a card about blind spots — and half-state-patrol.yml is the file that spells it '22'.

Two-direction proof

Whatever you build must fail when the anchor drifts. Plant a workflow (or edit one) so the derived set disagrees with the doc literal, run, record RED. Restore via git checkout HEAD -- <absolute path> under trap … EXIT INT TERM; prove restore by git hash-object match and empty git diff HEAD. ⛔ An anchor assertion that cannot go red is prose with extra steps.

Constraints

• ⛔ Worktree-first: git worktree add ../objectui-6400 -b claude/issue-6400-anchor-derived-from-workflows main && cd ../objectui-6400 && pnpm install.
• ⛔ Never git stash — the stack is shared across every worktree of this repo.
• ⛔ Never touch content/docs/releases/.
• ⛔ Do not set domain:* or type labels; file findings unassigned.
• ⚠️ git fetch origin main and confirm test(gate): see a version behind a name-version: key in the doc ledger #6429 is in your base before your first edit to doc-version-claims.test.ts. That file has had two PRs land on it in the last four hours.
• ⚠️ Every zero-hit needs a control term. Three of tonight's readings were saved by one and one was discarded for returning zero itself.
• ⚠️ Run the whole scripts/__tests__ tree.
• Changeset required. Open the PR as draft; this seat arms it.

Reporting

Structured JSON report: the re-measured count with its control, whether B was feasible and the reasoning either way, how you handled the '22' outlier, and the two-direction proof with hashes.
