jakman85andClaude Opus 5 b105c764fc docs(decisions): handoff for the conformance-runner image, as its own file
gate / gate (pull_request) Successful in 1m36s
gate / conformance (pull_request) Has been skipped
CLAUDE.md section 7. This branch originally carried its handoff as a ~236-line
append to the tail of DECISIONS-LOG.md. Measured against the live Gitea on
2026-09-29, that append was the ONLY conflicting path between PR #18 and main,
and it is why the PR was `mergeable: false` -- four of the five open PRs were
unmergeable for exactly the same reason, on the same last hunk.

The append is dropped from this branch entirely; the branch now touches nothing
outside conformance/. Its substance moves here unchanged in meaning, in the
one-file-per-entry shape PR #24 introduces and ci/decisions-log.sh enforces:
frontmatter (date, branch, title) plus "What changed" / "What I verified" /
"What I did NOT verify".

Nothing the branch claims to have proven was upgraded in the move. Everything
the original entry marked UNVERIFIED is still marked UNVERIFIED here, and the
list grew rather than shrank: the image has never run in the cluster, it is not
pushed anywhere so CONFORMANCE_RUNNER_IMAGE_DIGEST stays empty, the image was
NOT rebuilt during this rework, chainsaw's cosign signatures are still
unverified, the 4th policy rule that would make conformance-clone REQUIRED does
not exist so the initContainer hole is open, and L2/L3 still do not run in CI.

Gate on the reworked branch, in the pinned toolbox from this worktree:
rc 3, MERGE GATE: UNDETERMINED, nothing FAILED. spec-immutability, lint, l0,
render-golden and l1 all green; gitea-settings the only stage that did not run
(SETTINGS_API_TOKEN unwired repo-wide); conformance warns L2/L3 UNVERIFIED for
R-SEC-02 R-TEST-01..04. Not green, and not reported as green.

jakman85andClaude Opus 5 72a46ad82d chore(log): the handoff log was serialising every parallel branch
gate / gate (pull_request) Successful in 1m35s
gate / conformance (pull_request) Has been skipped
DECISIONS-LOG.md was append-only in ONE file and every agent appended to its
tail, so any two concurrent branches collided on the same last hunk. Measured
against the live Gitea today: four of the five open PRs were mergeable=false,
and `git merge-tree` named DECISIONS-LOG.md as the ONLY conflicting path in
all four.

    #22 fix/crafty-oauth2-proxy-signin       CONFLICT: DECISIONS-LOG.md
    #20 feat/conformance-job-template        CONFLICT: DECISIONS-LOG.md
    #19 feat/conformance-trigger-kubeconfig  CONFLICT: DECISIONS-LOG.md
    #18 feat/conformance-runner-image        CONFLICT: DECISIONS-LOG.md
    #17 feat/ci-is-the-approver              clean — it wrote no handoff

Nothing was wrong with any of those changes. The log's storage format
serialised work that was otherwise parallel, and the cost grew with every
concurrent branch (N branches -> N-1 rebases, each invalidating the gate run
before it). The agents work in isolated worktrees precisely so they do not
block each other; this one file undid that.

So: stop sharing a file. Handoffs are now one-per-file under decisions/,
named YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md. Disjoint paths have nothing to merge. There is
deliberately no index file (a shared mutable file is the thing that just
failed) and no counter (two agents would race for the same number) — the
directory listing is the index.

DECISIONS-LOG.md is frozen as the pre-2026-09-29 archive, its SHA-256 pinned
in decisions/ARCHIVE.sha256, and a new gate stage rejects any change to it.
That is a guard and not a paragraph because the old habit is written into the
runbooks and into every agent that has read the log, and getting it wrong does
not fail: it produces a clean-looking commit that re-creates the conflict on
OTHER branches, later, misattributed.

  ci/decisions-log.sh        new stage: archive pinned; every entry named with
                             a real date, carrying date/branch/title frontmatter
                             that agrees with its filename, and all three of
                             CLAUDE.md §7's sections with a real body under each.
                             Exit 0 or 1 only — no skip path by construction, so
                             no fail-open surface on a guard that closes one.
  ci/gate.sh                 runs it; fail and (impossible) skip both BLOCK.
                             No REQUIRE_DECISIONS_LOG knob: a guard with an off
                             switch is not a guard.
  ci/tests/decisions-log.test.sh   22 assertions, incl. the one that matters —
                             an append to the archive is rejected, and the
                             message names the file to write instead.
  ci/tests/gate-decision.test.sh   +3 assertions for the new wiring, AND a
                             pre-existing bug: the stub list never included
                             gitea-settings, so run_stage saw exit 127 and
                             recorded a FAILED stage in every case. 15 of 47
                             assertions failed on main for that reason alone —
                             the suite was measuring its own missing stub.
                             Now 50/50.
  CLAUDE.md                  §7 rewritten; §2b widened to the new path.
  ci/Makefile, ci/README.md, .gitea/workflows/README.md — stage named where
                             the other stages are named.
