bare-root-worklist's DECLARED-NARROWER row for check-ratchet-remedy-authority states a walk narrower than the gate performs, and its pin cannot see the drift #15201

"premise_still_valid": true,
"summary": "The card's premise held and was re-verified on origin/main rather than taken from the issue: at a23603e the gate walks CORPUS_DIRS = ['', 'pm'] and declares three hints, while the worklist row recorded a two-hint, one-directory walk and stated 'no nested script at any depth' — and node scripts/pm/bare-root-worklist.mjs --self-test was GREEN on that tree, which is the card's point. Re-measured both terms together on one tree (202 of 324, 62%, at a23603e; the card's 187+14=201 was a PR-branch reading, on main it is 188+14=202) and rewrote the row's why with the new shape claim, the new numbers and the commit they were measured on. SHAPE CHOICE: the SPELLINGS entry stays ONE multi-hint record, grown to three hints and renamed 'scripts walked-directory script files' (the old name asserted 'top-level', now false). Split was rejected on the map's own docblock rules: every hint of a multi-hint entry must share one root and the sweep has exactly one denominator per entry — these three do share the scripts root and describe ONE population (one gate walk), so splitting would give two records neither of which is COMPLETE against that walk, and would need the row's singularspellingfield to become a list. On the four axes: the pull is measured, not speculative (this row's own drift, plus the derivation gap #13813 recorded); contract-first says hold the record against the producer — the gate's declaration — rather than tolerate a record that is merely true of the tree; the required-field shape makes a silently drifting record structurally hard to add rather than relying on an author noticing; and it expands no surface, adding one direction to an existing verdict class rather than a new capability. The missing direction is now pinned: --self-test reads each DECLARED-NARROWER row's gate SOURCE through the watch-hint idiom's own parser (auditSource from scripts/check-watch-hint-literal.mjs — no roster of declaration names retyped) and holds the recorded spelling SET-EQUAL to the declared array at that row's bare root, in both directions, with a deliberate omission named in a newomitsfield and re-measured every run. Nine records are held that way. Two consequences worth flagging to the PM: (a) one other row is touched — build-skill-docs.ts SKILLS_DIR skills gains omits: [['skills','README.md']], which only restates in a machine-readable place what its own why already recorded in prose; its verdict, spelling and numbers are untouched and no row is re-decided; (b) the gate scripts/check-ratchet-remedy-authority.mjs is NOT edited — it is correct, the map is what went stale, and its own stale-corpus note (#15189) is left alone. main moved 5 commits under the branch while this ran; none touches dispatch-gates.mjs or the gate, PR #15236 has not landed, so no merge was taken and the row's numbers stay anchored to the stated commit, which is the convention every other row in the map follows.",
"tests": "SELF-TEST VERDICT LINE, BEFORE (origin/main a23603e, stale row + already-widened gate — the drift, undetected): OK self-test: 54 live row(s), 46 unreachable as spelled, 46 recorded verdict(s) — none stale, none missing, none contradicted.

Corroborated independently by the gate's own verdict line: 'OK check-ratchet-remedy-authority: 202 scripts swept (scripts/.{mjs,mts} + scripts/pm/.{mjs,mts}); 14 mark the expanding remedy, 6 turn it down outright, 182 hand out no ratchet-expanding remedy.'\n\nSWEEP DIFF vs origin/main (node scripts/pm/bare-root-worklist.mjs, run in a second detached worktree pinned at a23603e against the same command on the branch): 134 lines each, EXACTLY ONE line differs — thewhyof 'scripts/check-ratchet-remedy-authority.mjs SCRIPTS_DIR scripts'.

Both texts are quoted in full in the PR body.\n\nABLATION, from the COMMITTED state (HEAD 1fcb750), restore trap 'trap restore EXIT INT TERM' on absolute paths resolved from git rev-parse --show-toplevel. No dist/build leg: the subject is imported from source by relative path, nothing resolves through a package exports field, so there is no dist preflight to run.

Mutation proven on disk by anchor count (pm-hint lines 1 becomes 0) and by hash (5cace5ac becomes 056e2288). exit 1, two failures: the tree-facing COMPLETE pin ('MISSES 14: scripts/pm/bare-root-worklist.mjs ...') and the new declaration pin ('DRIFT: declared and not recorded ...').\n Leg 2 — WIDEN the gate's declared array by a fourth hint (scripts/pm/.mts). Mutation proven on disk by anchor counts (3-hint decl line 1 becomes 0, 4-hint decl line becomes 1) and by hash (e08d59a6 becomes 356da72d). exit 1, EXACTLY ONE failure, the new pin: '...and every hint that gate declares at scripts is either recorded by "scripts walked-directory script files" or named in the row'somits— DRIFT: declared and not recorded [scripts/pm/.mts], named as omitted [none].' Every tree-facing pin stayed GREEN, because that hint reaches no file — the card's mechanism reproduced, and the direction of the ablation predicted before running it.\n Restore leg (both files, after each mutation): git checkout HEAD -- ABSOLUTE_PATH; both blobs byte-identical to their HEAD values again (5cace5ac / e08d59a6), git status --porcelain empty, 'git diff HEAD is empty: yes', post-restore self-test exit 0.\n\nGATES. Re-derived for the ACTUAL changed path on the branch (node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs --commands, change set read by the tool itself from merge-base a23603e; 1 path). 21 commands, one more than the brief's 20: pnpm check:ratchet-remedy-authority now derives for this path, because the hint #15199 added (scripts/pm/*.mjs) reaches it — the widened walk showing up in the derivation. All 21 exit 0 (exit code captured after redirect, never through a pipe). Key verdict lines: bare-root-worklist self-test OK (quoted above); 'OK check-ratchet-remedy-authority: 202 scripts swept ...'; 'check-watch-hint-literal: 49 declaration(s) across 4 rostered name(s) ... every one an array of quoted literals inside its own statement'; 'dispatch-gates self-test: 1353 cases pass.'\n --ran reconciliation: 'dispatch-gates --ran: 21 derived famil(ies) accounted for — 21 run, 0 NOT-MEASURED.'

No narrowing claimed: the whole-repo run was executed.\n Control-byte scan beyond the gate: grep -naP over the edited file found none (exit 1).\n All of the above ran on 1fcb750, the final and only commit of this branch (git rev-parse --short HEAD).",

- Both terms re-measured on one tree, and the row says so: the
The bare-root worklist row
carries verdict
DECLARED-NARROWER, re-decided 2026-09-01 (#13813). Itswhystates thepopulation as the scripts root read one level, set-equal at 183 of 183 against 310
tracked files under the bare root, and ends: "the bare root is still not covered — no
arbitrary file at the top of the root is reached, and no nested script at any depth".
PR #15199 (for #15179, on the 2026-09-04 ruling) widens that gate's walk to a second
directory:
corpusFiles()now readsscripts/andscripts/pm/, one level each, and thegate declares three hints —
scripts/*.mjs,scripts/*.mts,scripts/pm/*.mjs— wherethe row records two. Once that PR lands the row is false in two terms:
fourteen
.mjsfiles underscripts/pm/are reached;scripts/pm/), and the recorded spelling entryscripts top-level script filesdescribes a two-hint set the gate no longer declares alone.
The row's own
SPELLINGSentry,scripts top-level script files, holds(s) => s.length === 2 && s[0] === 'scripts' && ..., which stays TRUE of the tree — themap pins its recorded spellings against the tracked corpus, not against the gate's array —
so nothing reds:
node scripts/pm/bare-root-worklist.mjs --self-testis green on the#15199 branch, measured. That is exactly why this is worth a card: the divergence is
between the record and the gate it describes, and the pin cannot see it.
Why it was not repaired in #15199. Re-deciding a row on a shrink-only map belongs to
the file that owns it, and the dispatch for #15179 ruled it out of that card's file surface
by name. #15199's gate docblock carries a pointer to this staleness in the meantime.
Shape of the repair (for whoever picks it up): re-measure BOTH terms together on one
tree — the map's own docblock forbids refreshing a row's terms apart — and decide whether
the entry stays one multi-hint
SPELLINGSrecord grown to three hints, or splits. The rowshould stay in the sweep either way: the bare root is still not covered.
Not urgent, not blocking: no gate reds on it today.
Found while implementing #15179. Filed unassigned.
