Part of #193 (item 22).

Host-absolute paths under the bench root were on main, and the hygiene rule did not catch them: 86 lines of specs/004-migrate-to-triad/consumer-reads-2026-10-07.md (lane 2's consumer-side reads, landed in #189) and one illustrative line of ideation/brainstorm/supervised-context-restart-durable-intent.md. This PR widens the rule, with one narrow allowance, and replaces the paths in both files. It is five commits (the rule, the consumer reads, the ideation sample, two review rounds); the squash merge makes them one.

The rule (tests/test_repo_hygiene.py, commits 1 and 4)

host_absolute_path_hits() keeps HOST_ABSOLUTE_PATH as it was and adds a second pattern for the bench root, matched only at the start of a path. A path that continues a segment, a home directory, a variable or a relative walk (~/…, $HOME/…, ./…, ../…, templates/<x>/…) is not the root, and neither are workspace.yaml or workspace-root/. The root is spelled in two pieces in the test file so the file does not flag itself.

The one allowance is a path inside a single-quoted grep search pattern: the first quoted operand after grep and its short flags (grep -rn '^path: …', grep -E '…', git grep -n -e '…'), and the argument of each further -e. A recorded search must keep the text it searched for. These all stay findings: the git -C <path> before the grep, a second quoted operand (a file), a double-quoted pattern, a flag that takes a value (grep -m 1 '…'), a bundle that carries a lowercase f (-f, -rf: -f names a pattern file, which is a path), a path glued onto the closing quote of a pattern, and a quote on the line after the grep.

Red/green tests, all in the hygiene file:

• 17 red (refused) cases that plant a path in places the allowance must not reach, including git -C <path> grep -e '<path>', where only the pattern is licensed, and, since the independent review (commit 4), grep -f, git grep -f, grep -rf, -f ahead of an -e chain and the glued form;
• 9 green cases: the allowed forms, and the look-alikes above;
• the three recorded searches of Triad migration evidence of 2026-10-07: Gate A refresh, the Gate B rehearsal with the merged adopter fix, the regenerated adoption plan, consumer-side reads and the Gate B checklist #189 (lines 94, 132 and 142 on main) replayed as main carries them (red) and with the root beside the pattern made a placeholder (green), the pattern byte for byte the same;
• a test that the allowance scrubs only the pattern and reports the other path by line number;
• a test that the home-directory forms and the Windows runner exemption are unchanged.

Red on main's two files: commit 1 alone is deliberately red on exactly those two files (86 hits and 1, then none after commits 2 and 3), so the rule is shown to catch what main carries. It was rebased onto #195's main (aa14de3) with no conflict; #195's rules and this one both hold. The independent review's findings 1 and 2 (5560316525) are commit 4: its five new rows fail without the change and pass with it.

The consumer reads (commits 2 and 5) — lane openRepoTools-2, please review

These are your evidence. Please check that no finding, number, sha or result changed and that the placeholders read right. The 86 lines now use placeholders, defined once in a paragraph added under the opening note (lines 5-17), with no host path in it:

placeholder	stands for (on the bench where the reads ran)
$PROJECTS	the projects directory ~/projects stood for, /workspace/projects
$WB	workBenches checkout, $PROJECTS/workBenches
$BW	brett-wip checkout, $PROJECTS/brett-wip
$LS	lane-state root, $PROJECTS/.lane-state
$XF	xFactory checkout, $PROJECTS/xFactory
$ORT	openRepoTools checkout, $PROJECTS/openRepoTools
$ORTW	the single-repository Speckit worktree root, $PROJECTS/openRepoTools-worktrees
$READS	lane 2's worktree at the planning branch's commit ff6f6a7 (on lane 2's branch 004-migrate-to-triad-reads), $PROJECTS/.lane-worktrees/openRepoTools-2/triad-reads

$PROJECTS is one more than the seven roots the task named: one table row says "~/projects → /workspace/projects" and could not be kept without it.

The three search-pattern lines (94, 132, 142 on main; 107, 145, 155 here) keep their pattern byte for byte, since a placeholder in it would change what was searched for. Only the root beside each pattern is a placeholder, and the new allowance accepts them.

Byte-for-byte proof. Drop the added block, expand the placeholders, compare with main's file (R=/workspace/projects, run from a checkout of this branch):

f=specs/004-migrate-to-triad/consumer-reads-2026-10-07.md
git show HEAD:$f | sed '5,17d' \
 | sed -E "s|\\\$READS\b|$R/.lane-worktrees/openRepoTools-2/triad-reads|g; s|\\\$ORTW\b|$R/openRepoTools-worktrees|g; s|\\\$ORT\b|$R/openRepoTools|g; s|\\\$WB\b|$R/workBenches|g; s|\\\$BW\b|$R/brett-wip|g; s|\\\$LS\b|$R/.lane-state|g; s|\\\$XF\b|$R/xFactory|g; s|\\\$PROJECTS\b|$R|g" \
 | cmp - <(git show origin/main:$f) && echo IDENTICAL

Commit 5 applies lane 2's review (comment 6242658351) to the block: the $READS and $ORTW wording and "single-quoted" in the note; the block is still lines 5-17, so the proof above is exact as written. Result against origin/main 2732d59 (the file's blob there is 4abffbf, the same as at #189): identical, sha256 91e1beaf08620a01df8b335b7d573bd93003ac684045bedef94958b63490c5a3 on both sides, 92 placeholder uses expanded ($ORT 42, $WB 19, $BW 14, $READS 7, $LS 5, $ORTW 2, $XF 2, $PROJECTS 1). The diff is 99 insertions (86 changed lines plus the 13-line block) and 86 deletions.

The ideation sample (commit 3)

directory: /workspace/projects/openRepoTools is now directory: ~/projects/openRepoTools: the working directory of the openRepoTools lane the sample names, in the home-relative form the repository's other documents use.

File-Level Changes

Change	Details	Files
Expanded repository hygiene detection to reject bench-root absolute paths while narrowly preserving literal paths in single-quoted grep search patterns.	Added a separate bench-root matcher with start-of-path and look-alike exclusions. Added pattern scrubbing for the first grep operand and subsequent -e operands, without allowing paths in command operands, files, double quotes, value-taking flags, or other lines. Centralized path scanning and capped per-file findings in the hygiene assertion. Added red/green coverage for refused locations, allowed searches, recorded consumer-read commands, existing home-path behavior, and the Windows exemption.	tests/test_repo_hygiene.py
Replaced host-specific bench paths in the consumer-read evidence with documented shell-variable placeholders while preserving recorded search patterns and evidence content.	Defined eight placeholders for project, checkout, lane-state, and worktree roots. Rewrote command paths, tables, prose, and host-state references to use the placeholders. Kept the three grep search patterns byte-for-byte unchanged and substituted only paths beside them. Preserved the original findings, counts, SHAs, results, and read limitations.	specs/004-migrate-to-triad/consumer-reads-2026-10-07.md
Converted the durable-intent sample's bench-root directory to the repository's portable home-relative form.	Changed the directory from the host-absolute bench path to ~/projects/openRepoTools.	ideation/brainstorm/supervised-context-restart-durable-intent.md

Independent adversarial review — lane openRepoTools-1 (read-only; 2026-10-17T22:06Z)

Verdict: LAND at c1a30dff628288818916191ad66c0fd1f9537f58, once CI's tests and tests-no-submodule are green. Both were pending when this was written. No finding blocks. I recommend taking findings 1 and 2 in this PR: together they are a two-line change, and I verified it below. Otherwise file them on #193.

All work was in a fresh scratch clone at that head, read-only. Pytest ran scoped to the file, with a private HOME, TMPDIR, --basetemp and PYTHONPYCACHEPREFIX. Below, <R> stands for the bench root with its trailing slash, the rule's _BENCH_ROOT, so this review spells no host path either.

What holds (checked, no finding)

• The rule catches what main carries. I scanned every tracked blob at each commit with each revision of the rule:

  rule	content	hits
  head	main aa14de3	87 in 2 files: consumer-reads 86, ideation 1
  head	b32f43f (commit 1)	the same 87
  head	064c2ae (commit 2)	1 (ideation)
  head	head	0
  main	any of the above	0

  Reach probes were all findings at head and all clean under main's rule:

  • a path in prose mid-line, in a table cell, in inline code and in an indented code line;
  • a path after =, after : and inside ( );
  • a double-quoted path, a yaml value, a json value and a file:// URL.

• The allowance holds against these, each still a finding:

  • a second quoted operand of grep, and a file after an -e chain;
  • git grep … -- '<R>…' and --file='<R>…';
  • a double-quoted pattern, and grep 'x' f; cat '<R>…';
  • git -C <R>… grep -e '<R>…', where only the pattern is scrubbed and the line is reported.

• No false positive on today's look-alikes. These are all clean:

  • $AGENT_PROTOCOL_ROOT/workspace.yaml, "${AGENT_PROTOCOL_ROOT:-$HOME/.agents}/workspace.yaml" and ~/.agents/workspace.yaml;
  • templates/workspace-root/ and "$checkout"/workspaces/;
  • ~/, $HOME/, ${HOME}/, ./ and ../ before the root;
  • a URL path.

  At head, 115 raw lines contain the root. Every suppressed one is one of four kinds:

  • a look-alike above;
  • one of the three kept patterns;
  • a bare root (finding 3).

• Pytest, scoped to tests/test_repo_hygiene.py:

  • head: 184 passed;
  • main: 160 passed;
  • b32f43f: 183 passed and 1 failed. The failure is test_no_committed_file_names_a_host_absolute_path, on exactly the two files.
  • tests/test_test_roots.py at head: 39 passed, 1 skipped.

• Red at base, green at head. I ran the 24 new tests outside pytest, against each rule:

  • Against main's rule, 14 are red: all 12 refused rows, the scrub test and the consumer-reads pair test. The other 10 are green: the 9 accepted rows, and the home-rule test, which main satisfies trivially.
  • Against head's rule, all 24 are green.
  • I also ran them against 11 mutants of the rule. Nine turn at least one test red. For the two that survive, see finding 4.

• The consumer reads: a pure rewrite, both ways.

  • The PR's reverse proof reproduces: IDENTICAL, with sha256 91e1beaf…c5a3 on both sides.
  • Independent forward proof. I rewrote main mechanically: longest root first, start of path only, with the single-quoted grep spans left as typed. The result equals head with lines 5–17 removed, byte for byte.
  • The 92 placeholder uses match the PR body: $ORT 42, $WB 19, $BW 14, $READS 7, $LS 5, $ORTW 2, $XF 2, $PROJECTS 1.
  • The numbers and shas in main and in head's body are the same multiset. The only difference is seven 2s, the openRepoTools-2 that $READS now carries.
  • The three search lines (main 94/132/142, head 107/145/155) keep their quoted spans byte for byte: 8, 5 and 1 spans. Each still carries the root inside the pattern.
  • The placeholders are defined before use. All eight are defined at lines 7–14, before any use. $PROJECTS is defined at line 7, and its one use in the body is at line 217. None of the eight tokens appeared on main, and no other new $TOKEN appears.
  • --numstat is 99/86. Main's blob is #189's own (63810dd, 4abffbf), so "this file as #189 landed it" can be recovered from git.

• The ideation edit (ideation/brainstorm/supervised-context-restart-durable-intent.md:31) keeps the sample's meaning. On this bench, the two spellings of the projects directory have the same device and inode, so ~/projects/openRepoTools names the directory the sample named. The tilde form matches the estate's own records (the LANES.md --dir ~/projects/openRepoTools, and workspace.yaml's path:).

• No new host path in the diff. Added lines carry the root only inside the three kept patterns. /home and /Users appear only as split fixtures ("/home" + "/alice/"). No /tmp/ or /mnt/ was added. The commit messages name /home/<user>/ only as a pattern.

• #195 has no hunk overlap with this PR, and its hygiene tests pass at head. The new rule runs through tracked_files() / tracked_roots() from #190 and #195, so the composed run applies it to the assembly and spec legs as well.

• Open PRs. None of the other 27 open PRs adds a bench-root path. I fetched each diff and grepped it; #196 has 3810 diff lines, none with the root. So landing this reddens nothing in the queue.

Findings

1. Non-blocking, recommended in this PR. grep -f '<path>' is licensed.
   • Where. tests/test_repo_hygiene.py:2536-2537.
   • Cause. The flag run (?:[ \t]+-[A-Za-z]+)* accepts any short-flag bundle, so the quoted argument of -f is scrubbed as if it were the pattern. That argument is the pattern FILE, a path.
   • Ran. These probes against head's rule: grep -f '<R>projects/pat.txt' log, git grep -f '<R>…' HEAD, grep -rf '<R>…' . and grep -f '<R>p.txt' -e 'x' -e 'y' log.
   • Saw. All four are clean.
   • Why it matters. It contradicts the comment at :2531-2535 ("a flag that takes a value (grep -m 1 '…') ends the run of flags"), the PR body, and consumer-reads-2026-10-07.md:16 ("allows a path inside a quoted grep pattern and nowhere else"). The test row at :2985-2986 passes only because its value 1 is unquoted.
   • Fix. Use -(?![A-Za-z]*f)[A-Za-z]+ for the flag run. Alternatively, derive the run from the _OPTIONS_WITH_ARGUMENTS["grep"] this file already keeps at :3149-3153. Add red rows for the four probes.
   • Verified. With this fix and the one in finding 2, all four probes are findings and the three allowed forms stay clean. The 24 new tests stay green. Head scans to 0, and main still scans to 87 in 2 files.
2. Non-blocking, recommended in this PR. The scrub replacement ends in a word character.
   • Where. tests/test_repo_hygiene.py:2547, QUOTED_SEARCH_PATTERNS.sub("grep", line).
   • Cause. A path glued to the closing quote of a scrubbed span then has p in front of it, and the lookbehind drops it.
   • Ran. grep -f ''<R>projects/pat.txt log. Saw: clean.
   • Fix. .sub("grep ", line), with the same verification as in finding 1.
   • Related, and acceptable for a lexical rule. The allowance keys on any word grep, not on a command position. echo grep '<R>…' > cmd.txt, my-grep '<R>…' and the prose "do not grep '…'" are all clean. One sentence in the comment would say so.
3. Non-blocking. The bare root is not caught, and the comment's reason for the trailing slash is not what does the work.

   • Where. tests/test_repo_hygiene.py:2511-2512 and :2517-2518.

   • Ran. I scanned head with a variant, (?<![\w.~$}]) + the root without its slash + (?![\w.-]).

   • Saw. It flags exactly 12 lines:

     • lane-start:1123, lanes:65 and lanes-edit.sh:6510: incident prose, "a cwd of /work…";
     • tests/test_lane_helpers.sh:4958, 4961, 4966, 5057, 5094, 5115, 5174, 5192, 6492: a fake cwd in fixtures.

     It flags none of the workspace.yaml, workspace-root/ or workspaces/ lines. The lookbehind, not the slash, keeps those out.

   • The choice is untested. Mutant M6 (match the bare root) keeps all 24 new tests green.

   • Fix. Either catch the bare root and decide what the fixtures should say, or state in the comment that it is out of scope, with a green row that pins that. A regex-escaped form (\/work…\/) is not matched either, but the home-directory rule shares that limit.

4. Non-blocking. Two mutants survive every new test.
   • M8: scrub any -x '…' pair after the pattern. No row puts -f '<R>…' after a pattern. The rule itself is right today; nothing holds it.
   • M6: see finding 3.
   • The other nine mutants each turn at least one test red: no allowance, any single-quoted string, double quotes allowed, no lookbehind, a lookbehind without ~/$, flags that take a number, a second operand scrubbed, the allowance anywhere after grep, and whole-text matching.
   • Fix. Add grep -e 'x' -f '<R>…' f to the refused rows along with finding 1's rows.
5. Non-blocking, latent, no action needed. Some relative forms are false positives.
   • Ran. "$ROOT"<R>x, $(pwd)<R>x, templates/*<R>x and a <placeholder><R>x written with angle brackets.
   • Saw. All four are findings. None exists on the tree.
   • Remedy. A writer who meets one can write ${ROOT}, because the lookbehind excludes }. Do not add " or ) to the lookbehind: that would hide cd "<R>…" and (<R>…).
6. Non-blocking nit, for lane 2's eye. The $PROJECTS row is now true by definition.
   • Where. specs/004-migrate-to-triad/consumer-reads-2026-10-07.md:217 reads "~/projects → $PROJECTS", and :7 defines $PROJECTS as "the one ~/projects stood for there".
   • The fact is right; I measured it above. The row still says what it needs: --dir ~/projects/openRepoTools is $ORT. The wording is lane 2's call.

Conservative, as intended, and not findings. These are all still findings at head, which fits "narrow on purpose":

• rg '<R>…' and egrep '<R>…';
• an -e chain broken by another flag, as in grep -e 'a' -i -e '<R>…';
• a quote opened on a continuation line;
• an escaped quote inside a pattern.

Only the continuation-line case is documented. The others may be worth a word in the comment.

[brettheap]

Folded the independent review's findings 1 and 2 (5560316525) at 636c5b6; findings 3–6 are filed as #193 item 24.

Red/green: five new REFUSED rows (grep -f, git grep -f, grep -rf, -f ahead of an -e chain, and a path glued onto the closing quote of a pattern) fail without the fix (5 failed, 21 passed of the 26 bench-rule rows) and pass with it (all 29 new tests, 24 + 5). Whole-repo scan at head: 0 hits. Main's content: 87 hits in 2 files. tests/test_repo_hygiene.py 189 passed; tests/test_test_roots.py 39 passed, 1 skipped (the submodule is not checked out).

[brettheap]

Lane openRepoTools-1, 2026-10-17T22:14Z: Copilot review was requested at 636c5b6 three ways (gh pr edit --add-reviewer @copilot, and the REST requested_reviewers call as copilot-pull-request-reviewer[bot] and as Copilot). GitHub accepted each, and returned 201 for the last, but recorded no request. Copilot has reviewed no PR in this repository since 2026-10-10 (#191). So this PR's gates are lane 2's review (asked in the register), Linux tests and tests-no-submodule at 636c5b6, and the independent review's LAND (5560316525), whose findings 1 and 2 are folded in at 636c5b6 (6242007711). Findings 3–6 are #193 item 24.

[brettheap]

Lane openRepoTools-2, 2026-10-17: review of the placeholder edit to lane 2's evidence on #229 at 636c5b6. Verdict: one change requested in the added block (line 14, $READS) and one suggested (line 13, $ORTW). Lane 2's evidence itself is unchanged.

Below, <R> is the bench's projects directory, the path $PROJECTS stands for. Line numbers are at head 636c5b6 unless marked main.

The evidence did not move

• The PR body's proof, as written. I ran it from a fresh clone at 636c5b6865a7e6a9284aa2f83af5982111118516, with R set to <R>, in bash and in zsh. Both print IDENTICAL against origin/main.
  • origin/main has since moved to 2732d59 (Triad migration evidence of 2026-10-08 and 2026-10-09: test roots and CI patches, installer entry point, restore and rollback, #192's corrections, T018, Gate B status #196, then Publish rename-lane's Rule 3 handoff stamp through a same-directory temporary file and one atomic rename, so a writer killed mid-stamp leaves the handoff whole #212). Neither touches the file: its blob is 4abffbf at aa14de3, at 983d8c7, at 2732d59, and at Triad migration evidence of 2026-10-07: Gate A refresh, the Gate B rehearsal with the merged adopter fix, the regenerated adoption plan, consumer-side reads and the Gate B checklist #189's own commit 63810dd.
• An independent check (Python with -I, no regex \b):
  • Block. It finds the block as head lines 5-17 with no assumption about its position.
  • Census. It counts every $NAME token. The eight placeholders are new, and every other token ($HOME, $REPO, $selfdir …) is unchanged.
  • Expansion. It replaces each placeholder as a literal string, longest name first.
  • Result. Head is 410 lines, 53432 bytes, sha256 5a85179e…0077. Expanded without the block, it is 54964 bytes, sha256 91e1beaf08620a01df8b335b7d573bd93003ac684045bedef94958b63490c5a3, which is main's sha. The two are byte-identical.
  • Line by line. 311 lines are unchanged and 86 changed. Every changed line expands to main's line.
  • Placeholder uses. 92 in all: $ORT 42, $WB 19, $BW 14, $READS 7, $LS 5, $ORTW 2, $XF 2, $PROJECTS 1. Main has 95 bench-root occurrences on 86 lines; head keeps 3.
  • Evidence tokens. Shas, numbers and l.N cites form equal multisets (88, 1385 and 61).
• Diff. --numstat is 99/86. Only 064c2ae touches the file. b32f43f, c1a30df and 636c5b6 do not.
• So no finding, number, sha, count, exit code, command, line cite or result in lines 18-410 changed.

The three kept searches (main 94/132/142 → head 107/145/155)

• Quoted spans. The 8, 5 and 1 quoted spans are byte for byte the same as main's. Each line equals main's with only the root beside the pattern replaced, by $WB, $BW and $LS.
• Unchanged since lane 2 wrote them. They are also the same as on lane 2's own branch copy (d14b441).
• Hits. Hygiene rule refuses bench-root host paths, with an allowance for quoted grep patterns; replace them in the consumer reads and the durable-intent sample #229's own host_absolute_path_hits() finds 0 hits in the file at head and 86 at main, and 0 in every tracked file at 636c5b6. On a local squash preview of 636c5b6 onto 983d8c7 it also finds 0.
• Tests. tests/test_repo_hygiene.py passed 189 at head and 189 on that preview. The runs used a clean env (no LANES_*/TMUX*) with a private HOME, TMPDIR, basetemp and pycache.

The placeholders

• Defined once, before use. Each is defined exactly once (lines 7-14), before first use.
• No prefix trap. No placeholder is followed by a word character, a : or a [, so $ORT/$ORTW cannot be confused.
• No quoting trap. None sits inside single quotes in a command.
• No rendering trap. None stands outside a code span, so GitHub math cannot touch them.
• Correct definitions. $PROJECTS, $WB, $BW, $LS, $XF and $ORT match the file's own text.

In the block the proof drops: one change requested, one suggested

1. Requested. Line 14, $READS: "lane 2's worktree of the planning branch" is not what happened.
   • The reads ran on lane 2's own branch 004-migrate-to-triad-reads. Its reflog shows "Created from ff6f6a7…" at 10:03:09Z, a minute before the reads began at 10:04:44Z. Its first commit, ae70dc5, has parent ff6f6a7.
   • The planning branch 004-migrate-to-triad is a different ref. On origin it is still at ff6f6a7, and lane 2's branch is at a7a8e00.
   • The file itself says "lane 2's worktree, same commit as the planning branch" (line 53) and keeps it apart from Brett Heap's 004 worktree, which "was not entered" (line 27).
   • Suggested: "- $READS: lane 2's worktree at the planning branch's commit ff6f6a7 (on lane 2's branch 004-migrate-to-triad-reads), $PROJECTS/.lane-worktrees/openRepoTools-2/triad-reads."
2. Suggested (low). Line 13, $ORTW: "where Brett Heap's feature worktrees for openRepoTools live" claims more than the evidence does.
   • The file names one worktree under this root as Brett Heap's: 004, at line 320.
   • It calls the root itself "the single-repository Speckit worktree root" (line 222).
   • Suggested, in the file's own words: "- $ORTW: the single-repository Speckit worktree root, $PROJECTS/openRepoTools-worktrees."

If the fix keeps the block at 13 lines, the body's sed '5,17d' proof stays valid as written. Lane 2 will then re-check lines 5-17 and the proof.

Optional, not blocking

• Line 16: "single-quoted". "allows a path inside a quoted grep pattern" would be exact as "single-quoted". The rule refuses a double-quoted pattern, and a quoted -f operand since 636c5b6.
• Quoted record text now shows a placeholder at lines 193, 215, 225 and 395, and line 217 is now true by definition (lane 1's finding 6). The block's first sentence covers all of them; no change asked.
• ls -la $ORT (line 92) lists the current directory if ORT is unset. Every other command fails loudly.
• The PR body's counts are older than 636c5b6.
  • It says three commits, 12 red cases and 184 passed. At head it is 4 commits, 17 refused rows and 189 passed.
  • Lane 1's comment 6242007711 has the current numbers.

CI at 636c5b6 (read once, 22:5xZ)

• SonarCloud and guard-launch-mode: pass.
• tests and tests-no-submodule: still running.

Applied lane 2's review 6242658351 at 08e4249: line 14 $READS (requested), line 13 $ORTW and line 16 (suggested). The block is still lines 5-17. Reverse proof IDENTICAL against origin/main 2732d59 (blob 4abffbf, sha256 91e1beaf…c5a3); scan 0 at head and 0 on the merge preview; hygiene tests 189 passed (on the head and on the merge preview). Lane 2: please re-check lines 5-17 and the proof.

The PR body's stale counts are updated (five commits, 17 refused rows, 189 passed).

Lane openRepoTools-2, 2026-10-17T23:0xZ: re-check of #229 at 08e4249. Verdict: APPROVE. Lane 2's review (6242658351) is applied in full, and lane 2's evidence is unchanged.

Below, <R> is the bench's projects directory, as before. Line numbers are at head 08e4249a4a83a2cd00b91d1b8bf6c4080e53f991.

• The change. 08e4249 touches only consumer-reads-2026-10-07.md, at lines 13, 14 and 16, all inside the block.
  • The block is still lines 5-17, 13 lines.
  • $ORTW and $READS now read exactly as suggested, and line 16 says "single-quoted".
  • No other line of the file moved since 636c5b6.
• The body's proof, as written (bash, with R set to <R>): IDENTICAL against origin/main 2732d59. The file's blob there is still 4abffbf.
• Lane 2's independent check (Python, literal replacement, longest name first):
  • Head minus lines 5-17, expanded, is 54964 bytes, sha256 91e1beaf08620a01df8b335b7d573bd93003ac684045bedef94958b63490c5a3. That is main's file.
  • 311 lines are unchanged and 86 changed, and every changed line expands to main's line.
  • Shas, numbers, l.N cites and backtick spans form equal multisets.
  • Each placeholder is defined once (lines 7-14). The 92 uses are unchanged.
• The three kept searches (lines 107, 145 and 155): the quoted patterns are byte-identical to main's.
• Path scan with the head's own host_absolute_path_hits(): 0 hits in the file, against 86 at main.
• Not re-run by lane 2 at 08e4249: tests/test_repo_hygiene.py. Lane 2's run gave 189 passed at 636c5b6, and 08e4249 changes only those three lines of the document.
• CI at 08e4249 (read once, 23:08Z): guard-launch-mode and SonarCloud pass; tests and tests-no-submodule are still running.
