#994) Fixes#988, #989, #990. Three small, independent, verified findings from today's HomeAutomation-Config resync audit, bundled together since they are all mechanical spec/doc-accuracy corrections found by the same audit run. ## Changes - **`.editorconfig`** (#988): reworded the comment above the `.NET`-only block so it states the whole-file carry model instead of contradicting it. It previously said a non-.NET repo "may drop from here down," which disagreed with `CODESTYLE.md` "General": a repo keeps the whole file, including inert language-specific blocks, rather than trimming it. - **`spec/files.json`** (#989): added `"When in Doubt"` to the declared `sections` array for `.github/copilot-instructions.md`. The hub's own canonical file carries that heading (right after the "Disproved Claims" ledger), but it wasn't declared, so `spec/audit.py`'s undeclared-section advisory flagged it as drift on every repo carrying the file verbatim. - **`spec/divergences.json`** (#990): added two `accepted` gap entries, for `.github/actionlint.yaml` and `.github/actions/validate/action.yml`. Both are HomeAutomation-Config's own content at paths the hub also hosts (a path collision, not a carry), the same pattern as the existing `accepted` entries for `LICENSE`, `TODO.md`, `.husky/pre-commit`, and `scripts/README.md` in the same `gaps` array. ## Verification - `python3 -c "import json; json.load(...)"` on both edited spec files - `python3 spec/validate.py` (clean) - `python3 scripts/prose_lint.py --diff origin/develop` (clean) - `python3 scripts/repo_gate.py` (clean) - `python3 spec/audit.py --selftest` (pass) - `python3 -m unittest discover -s scripts/tests` (846 tests, pass) - pre-commit hooks on the commit itself (pass) Note: "Fixes#988, #989, #990" won't auto-close the issues on this merge since it targets `develop`; they close on the next `develop -> main` promotion, per fleet convention. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit - **Documentation** - Clarified line-ending governance guidance for derived repositories and non-.NET repositories. - Updated Copilot guidance and maintenance procedures to include the “When in Doubt” section. - Synchronized related guidance across supported tooling and workflows. - **Configuration** - Recorded two repository-specific path exceptions for automated validation files, improving clarity when comparing shared repository standards. - Updated supporting configuration metadata to reflect the latest guidance. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->

…#995) Fixes#987 ## What Adds an explicit RESYNC.md section 4 step: before retiring a locally-carried hub-hosted path that has a matching `HUB_HOSTED` prose-gate exemption, verify that the repository's pinned `validate-task.yml` SHA is at or after the hub commit that added that exemption. If the pin predates it, bump the pin first, in the same resync, before deleting the local copy. ## Why `spec/divergences.json`'s `retire` disposition entries get paired with a matching `HUB_HOSTED` exemption entry in `dead_path_findings()` (`.github/actions/prose-gate/prose_lint.py`), usually landed in the same commit (`#861` / `e31d3fc` is the example this issue is built from). Nothing previously kept a downstream repository's own pinned `validate-task.yml` SHA in sync with a `HUB_HOSTED` addition landed after that repository's pin was last bumped. A repository that retires its local copy of an exempted path while its pin still predates the exemption hits a `dead-path` finding in its own CI at the promotion-PR gate, for a path that is already exempted on current hub `main`, just not at the repository's pinned SHA. ## Scope decision: RESYNC.md only, no `spec/audit.py` check The issue asks me to judge whether this also warrants a mechanical `spec/audit.py` advisory. I looked closely and decided against it, for reasons specific to this check rather than general reluctance to add checks: - A genuine mechanical version needs to (1) locate whichever workflow file in the target repository pins `validate-task.yml` (`spec/audit.py`'s `check_interface` only verifies the literal string `"validate-task.yml"` appears in a job's code, it never extracts or compares the `@<sha>` pin value itself, see `spec/audit.py:1504-1550` and its `requireTokensInJob` contract), (2) extract that 40-hex SHA, (3) derive the hub commit that added the matching `HUB_HOSTED` entry (via `git log -S` on `.github/actions/prose-gate/prose_lint.py`, a literal-string match with no structural guarantee it names only the intended entry), and (4) run `git merge-base --is-ancestor` between the two SHAs against this checkout's own history. Nothing like step (4) exists anywhere in `spec/audit.py` today. The closest existing "pin-based" check, `classify_branch_drift`, compares this same repository's own `main` and `develop` trees, it never parses or reasons about a downstream repository's action pin. - Step (4) also needs the pinned commit to actually be a reachable object in the hub checkout running the audit. That holds for an ordinary full clone (the normal case for an interactive `spec/audit.py <Repo>` run), but the `validate` job that runs `spec/audit.py --selftest` in CI checks out with no `fetch-depth: 0` override (only the `lint` job does, for the prose gate's own dead-path history requirement), so the same mechanism would behave differently depending on where it runs. - The failure this guards against is narrow: it only bites a repository whose resync happens to land inside the window between a hub `HUB_HOSTED` addition and that repository's own next pin bump. A one-command manual check (`git log -1 --format=%H -S'<path>' -- .github/actions/prose-gate/prose_lint.py`, compared against the pin already visible in the target repository's own workflow file) closes the same gap at a fraction of the risk of a new, first-of-its-kind ancestry-check mechanism added to an already-large audit script. RESYNC.md section 5 already documents several categories the audit deliberately leaves to a manual read rather than mechanizing, so a documented procedure step is consistent with the file's own established pattern, not a gap unique to this fix. ## Verification Ran the full documented local gate set from `OPERATIONS.md` "Run the gates the way CI runs them" (ruff, mypy, `unittest discover -s scripts/tests`, `spec/audit.py --selftest`, `gh-write-guard.py --selftest`, `test_install.py`, `build_dist.py --check`, `repo_gate.py`, `prose_lint.py` default and `charset-unknown` passes, JSON validation, `spec/validate.py`) plus `scripts/docker_lint.py` (markdownlint, cspell, actionlint, editorconfig-checker, shellcheck, shfmt, PSScriptAnalyzer). All green, no findings against the changed file. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Documentation** * Added guidance for resyncing repositories with outdated validation workflow references when retiring hosted paths. * Clarified that relevant version pins should be updated before removing local configuration files. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->

Follow-up to #994: \`reports/divergences.md\` is generated from \`spec/divergences.json\` by \`spec/fidelity_honesty.py --report\` and had not been regenerated after #994 added \`accepted\` entries for \`.github/actionlint.yaml\` and \`.github/actions/validate/action.yml\`, leaving the checked-in report stale. Caught by CodeRabbit on the develop -> main promotion PR (#996), which cannot carry the fix directly since its diff is develop against main. Landing it here so #996 picks it up on develop's next head. Ran \`python3 spec/fidelity_honesty.py --report\` (read-only against GitHub, writes only the local report file) and committed the regenerated \`reports/divergences.md\`, which now documents both new dispositions. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Documentation** * Regenerated the divergence report with refreshed fleet findings and dispositions. * Updated the list of items requiring re-vendor review. * Revised accepted and untriaged findings for improved accuracy and clarity. * Streamlined the list of stale-copy entries to reflect the current set of identified items. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->

Follow-up to #995 (fixing #987): the promotion PR's CodeRabbit review caught a real bug in the new RESYNC.md procedure step. `git log main -1 ...` reads local `main`, which a bare `git fetch` does not fast-forward, so the exemption-commit lookup could read a stale answer on a reused hub checkout. Reads `origin/main` instead, the ref a fetch actually updates. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Documentation** * Updated deletion guidance to use the latest fetched main branch when checking workflow exemptions. * Clarified handling for bare fetches that do not update the local main branch. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->
Promotes #994 (issues #988, #989, #990) to
main.What
.editorconfigrewords the comment above the.NET-only block so itstates the whole-file carry model instead of contradicting
CODESTYLE.md's "General" section (The hub's own .editorconfig comment contradicts CODESTYLE.md's whole-file carry model #988).
spec/files.jsondeclares"When in Doubt"in thesectionsarrayfor
.github/copilot-instructions.md, so the hub's own canonicalfourth heading is no longer flagged as undeclared drift (spec/files.json doesn't declare copilot-instructions.md's 'When in Doubt' section, so every carrying repo gets a phantom drift finding #989).
spec/divergences.jsonadds twoacceptedgap entries, for.github/actionlint.yamland.github/actions/validate/action.yml,matching the existing
acceptedpattern for path collisions (spec/divergences.json 'gaps' has no disposition for .github/actionlint.yaml or .github/actions/validate/action.yml, so audit.py flags them as untriaged every run #990).copilot-instructions-keeper's SKILL.md (source plus bothregenerated distribution trees) is updated to enumerate all four
declared sections instead of three, a follow-up fix from PR Fix Three Spec and Doc Drift Findings from HomeAutomation-Config Audit #994's
own review loop.
Review
PR #994 review loop: qodo-code-review raised one real finding (the
keeper skill's stale three-section enumeration), fixed and resolved
in b626b25. Copilot's own review account is in the fleet's known
repo-wide quota-exhausted state (confirmed live on every request this
round), so this proceeded on qodo's coverage per standing precedent.
