Summary

Promotes develop to main, carrying:

Distrust Found Checkouts and Private-Repo Raw Fetches #1036 (fixesNever use local copies you did not install yourself #784, Update GitHub skill to use gh cli to access private repo content #777): documents that a checkout already sitting on disk, one this
session did not create, is untrusted (may belong to another concurrent session, sit on a
stale fetch or unexpected branch, or hold unreviewed uncommitted edits), and that
raw.githubusercontent.com 404s identically for a private repository and a genuinely
missing file, so gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/contents/<path>?ref=<ref> is the correct
route when a repo's visibility is not confirmed public. Both GOVERNANCE.md "Verification
Discipline" and the mirrored agent-conduct skill summary were updated; review (qodo +
CodeRabbit, Copilot repo-wide quota-exhausted throughout) caught two real bugs in the fix
itself along the way (a gh api | base64 -d pipe that decodes a failed fetch as an empty
success, and a skill-summary bullet that dropped the ref-verification clause), both fixed
and verified before merge.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Documentation
- Strengthened verification guidance for repository-based tasks.
- Added checks to ensure existing checkouts and branches are trustworthy before drawing conclusions.
- Clarified that missing content must be verified against the correct branch rather than inferred from an unavailable result.
- Added guidance for authenticated content retrieval and clearer handling of fetch, access, and decoding failures.
- Updated related skill references to keep verification practices consistent across supported environments.

## Summary Two Verification Discipline gaps, both surfaced by the same incident transcript (an agent reading a pre-existing `~/repos/HomeAutomation-Config` checkout, then failing to fetch its content via `raw.githubusercontent.com` because the repo is private): - **#784**: no rule said a checkout already sitting on disk, one this session did not clone or install itself, is untrusted. It may belong to another concurrent session, sit on a stale fetch or unexpected branch, or hold unreviewed uncommitted edits. Added a `GOVERNANCE.md` "Verification Discipline" bullet distinguishing this from the existing local-clone-staleness rule, plus a mirrored summary bullet in the `agent-conduct` skill's "Before Claiming Done". - **#777**: `raw.githubusercontent.com` 404s identically for a private repository and a genuinely missing file, so that response cannot answer whether content exists. Added a bullet documenting `gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/contents/<path>?ref=<ref>` as the correct route when a repo's visibility is not confirmed public, naming the `2>&1`-into-`base64 -d` decode corruption from the issue's own transcript and calling out verifying the ref before trusting a 404. Both are doc-only changes to the hub's own canonical text. `scripts/build_dist.py` regenerated the two generated skill distributions (`.claude-plugin/fleet-skills/`, `.github/skills/`) from the single edited source at `.agents/skills/agent-conduct/SKILL.md`. ## Verification Ran the full local gate set from `OPERATIONS.md` "Local Verification" (ruff, mypy, the `scripts/tests` + `spec/audit.py --selftest` + `gh-write-guard.py --selftest` + `test_install.py` unittest run, `build_dist.py --check`, `repo_gate.py`, `prose_lint.py`'s full check list, `spec/validate.py`, `docker_lint.py`) — all passed. Fixes#784Fixes#777 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)  ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Documentation** * Updated verification guidance to require fresh repository data or live API reads rather than relying on existing local checkouts. * Added branch-specific checks before reporting content as unavailable. * Clarified handling of file retrieval errors, including API-based verification when repository visibility is uncertain. * Synchronized these updates across the relevant guidance and refreshed the associated source digest. * Improved the reliability and accuracy of repository content verification.

Strengthen repository content verification guidance

AI Description

• Treat pre-existing checkouts as untrusted and require fresh clones or live API reads.
• Document authenticated private-repository reads with ref validation and failure-safe Base64
decoding.
• Regenerate Claude and GitHub skill distributions from the canonical conduct guidance.

High-Level Assessment

The existing approach is appropriate: keep the detailed policy in GOVERNANCE.md, mirror concise decision-time guidance in the single hand-authored skill, and regenerate provider-specific copies plus the digest. Editing each distributed copy independently would invite drift without improving behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change updates repository verification guidance across governance and agent skill files. It adds trusted-checkout checks, branch-qualified absence claims, and validated authenticated GitHub API retrieval. The fleet skill source digest is updated.

Changes

Repository verification guidance

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Verification rules `GOVERNANCE.md`	Adds rules for trusted repository state, branch-qualified absence claims, and distinguishing fetch, ref, authentication, network, and path failures from missing content.
Agent guidance synchronization `.agents/skills/agent-conduct/SKILL.md`, `.claude-plugin/fleet-skills/skills/agent-conduct/SKILL.md`, `.github/skills/agent-conduct/SKILL.md`, `.claude-plugin/fleet-skills/.source-digest`	Propagates the verification guidance to agent skill copies and updates the stored source digest.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk:🔵 Low · up to 94faa

The documentation currently overstates repository-wide absence checks and allows validation and retrieval to drift across changing refs, which could mislead automated content verification. The risk is localized and non-blocking, but the wording should be corrected or explicitly accepted by the owner.

Description

The added skill bullets repeat the conditions and obligations of the canonical GOVERNANCE.md
verification rules instead of only referencing them. The same restatement is also added to both
generated skill mirrors.

Code

.agents/skills/agent-conduct/SKILL.md[R22-24]

+- **A checkout this session did not create is not ground truth.** One found already sitting on disk may belong to another concurrent session, sit on a stale fetch or an unexpected branch, or hold unreviewed uncommitted edits. Clone fresh or read the live API instead of trusting `git status`/`git remote -v` run against a pre-existing checkout.- **A "does not exist" claim names the branch it was checked against.** A worktree's default branch is not necessarily the one the content lives on: in-flight content on a `release`-model repo lands on `develop` before `main`, per `GOVERNANCE.md` "Branching Model," so check that branch before reporting anything absent repo-wide.+- **A `raw.githubusercontent.com` 404 does not distinguish a private repository from a missing file.** Where visibility is not confirmed public, read content via `gh api "repos/<owner>/<repo>/contents/<path>?ref=<ref>"`, capturing the result before decoding it (`content=$(gh api ... --jq '.content') && printf '%s' "$content" | base64 -d`) rather than piping straight into `base64 -d`, whose own exit status is all a direct pipe reports, letting a failed fetch decode as an empty success. Never `2>&1` either form, which corrupts the decode with the error text instead of the payload. Verify the ref resolves before reading either failure as proof the content itself does not exist.

Review mode: ⚖️ Balanced: This is a documentation and skill-guidance promotion with multiple mirrored edit sites, but it changes verification instructions and digest metadata, so it is not eligible for skip and does not have enough independent logic for extended review.
