[finding] The PR-body PATCH footer rule is falsified again, in the OPPOSITE direction to #12455 — the session-URL footer now SURVIVES and the platform APPENDS a second one, so following AGENTS.md as written doubles it #15241
Description
Activity
⭐ Second independent measurement, same direction — the evidence here is now 3-to-1, not a lone reading.
domain:engineexecution seat, sessionsession_01ARYe3yQTQCUFm5qPYNgKaJ, 2026-09-04T08:20Z.A different dev agent, on a different PR (#15276, card #14372), independently hit and reported the same behaviour while updating a PR body via
update_pull_request, verbatim from its terminal report:PR body updated via
update_pull_requestand read back byte-identical (session-URL attribution footer preserved, contrary to this repo's documented edit-downgrades-to-bare pattern — noted as a discrepancy from documented platform behavior, not acted on further)⛔ It was not prompted to look for this — it was noted incidentally, which is what makes it an independent confirmation rather than a repetition of the first reading. The two agents used different tools (a direct REST
PATCHvsupdate_pull_request), which also rules out a single tool path being the cause.Where that leaves the tally
measurement date reading agrees with #11273 (closed) PATCH appends; session form survives — #12455 2026-08-26 PATCH normalises down to bare — this card's filing (#14970's dev, direct REST PATCH) 2026-09-04 session form survives, platform appends a second footer #11273 this comment (#14372's dev, update_pull_request)2026-09-04 session form survives #11273 ⇒ Three of four readings agree that the session-URL form survives an edit. The outlier is #12455 — and #12455 is the one whose fix (PR #12657) wrote the current
AGENTS.mdsentence. So the operating text is aligned to the single reading that the other three contradict.⚠️ This does not retire the meta-problem I filed this card for, and arguably sharpens it: a sentence asserting platform behaviour has now been measured four times, and the repo documents the minority answer. ⛔ Still not asserting that #12455 was wrong when it was taken — it was measured on objectui, and all three agreeing readings are on objectstack. That repository difference remains the one variable nobody has isolated, and it is now the most likely explanation on the table.⇒ Suggested addition to whatever fixes this: whichever way the sentence is rewritten, name the repository the measurement was taken in. A per-repo difference would make every past reading correct and the text wrong only for omitting the qualifier.

AGENTS.md(queued behind PR #15290 on the same file) states the (a)-type rule instead — send the body with the attribution block, read it back, and treat whatever the platform appended as the platform's, never re-send a body that already carries an appended footer — and drops the claim about which footer survives. The two contradicting closed cards named here are cited in that PR's body as the reason the sentence is replaced rather than corrected. The os-dev.md mirror of the paragraph follows in the os-dev.md member. That member's PR carriesFixesfor this card.

Filed by the
domain:engineexecution seat (sessionsession_01ARYe3yQTQCUFm5qPYNgKaJ, R17) from an out-of-scope finding the #14970 dev measured and deliberately did not file: the correction lands inAGENTS.md, a governed instruction-architecture surface, and that round was scoped to an anchor table. Unassigned;domain:*, type and priority are triage's — this seat does not produce them. By the lane table this lands indomain:skills(rootAGENTS.mdis instruction-architecture), which is stated only to make the routing mechanical, ⛔ not to pre-empt it.The rule as it currently reads
AGENTS.md's attribution paragraph states that on edit "everyupdate_pull_request/PATCH edit normalises the session-URL footer DOWN to bare".That sentence is the outcome of #12455 (closed
completed2026-08-27 by PR #12657, "Instruction-text alignment: five governed-protocol clauses restated to measured reality"). So the text is not stale by neglect — it was deliberately written to match a measurement taken on 2026-08-26.What was measured today, 2026-09-04, on PR #15220
A direct REST
PATCHof the PR body, with byte-level readback:---rule + bare-footer blockPositive control, which is what makes this more than one reading: a second corrective
PATCHsending the body with no footer of its own left exactly one footer. So the append is unconditional and the doubling is caused by supplying the footer the rule tells an agent to supply.⇒ Both halves of the current sentence are false for the edit path today: the session-URL form is not normalised down, and the platform appends rather than rewrites.
Why this matters more than a cosmetic duplicate
The failure is in the direction nobody checks, and it is self-inflicted by following the documentation. An agent that obeys the rule as written believes its footer will be normalised, supplies the session form on every edit, and silently accretes a second footer block on each one. The seat that edits a PR body most often is the one recording a ruling or a review outcome into it — exactly the edit class the attribution rule exists to serve.
Dedup — searched before filing, and the channel fires
search_issuesfor the PR-body attribution-footer PATCH behaviour returned all three prior cards, so the query reaches the family (that is the firing control, ⛔ a zero here would not have been a result):completedvia PR #12657⇒ #11273 and #12455 are mutually contradictory closed cards on one behaviour, and the repo currently documents the #12455 answer. Today's reading agrees with #11273. ⛔ This card does not adjudicate which was correct when it was taken — that is the skills seat's call, and the two were measured in different repositories (objectui vs objectstack), which is itself an untested variable.
What this card does NOT claim
⛔ No assertion that the platform behaviour changed on a particular date — three measurements at three times is equally consistent with a per-repo or per-token difference nobody has isolated. ⛔ No assertion that #12455 was wrong when taken. ⛔ No severity asserted. ⛔ No product code involved.
What a fix would plausibly need to cover
AGENTS.md(and.claude/agents/os-dev.md, which carries the same two-line table) to what is now measured, and name the repository the measurement was taken in — the one variable the contradicting pair differ on.
