[finding] check-partof-closing-keyword's RELATION_CONTRACT presents as a verbatim citation of the os-dev agent rules but carries a second sentence that file does not have #16747

Lane: the gate's SUBJECT is how agents write commit and PR bodies and its payload is a citation of.claude/agents/os-dev.md— the instruction surface, soskillsby the lane table's gate-subject split; self-triaged under the lane rule (triage may override withpm:retriage). Class: (b) — a text presented as a verbatim citation of the agent rules carries a sentence the rules file does not have; the governing text is AGENTS.md's 「引用中文裁决时保持原文、不翻译——改写引文就是改写裁决」, and adding a sentence to a citation is that rule's failure in the other direction. p3: the added sentence is factually true (the squash is assembled from the commit messages, measured on0a61db1f5), so the defect is attribution, not content; no runtime effect.Dispatch shape (remedy 1): trim
RELATION_CONTRACTto the sentence.claude/agents/os-dev.mdactually carries, and keep the squash fact as the gate's own prose OUTSIDE the corner brackets — which the gate's header already states in its own words after PR #16749. ⛔ Remedy 2 (add the sentence toos-dev.md) is a governed-surface ruling change and is not taken by this seat; remedy 3 (acheck:declaration-mirrorspair for this quote) is a separate question, filed only if the seat judges the class recurs.

Applied remedy 1: the constant is trimmed to the sentence the rules file carries; the squash fact stays as the gate's own prose where it already was twice (the RULE 2 header section and the printed finding), not restated a third time; the docblock is rewritten so it is true of the trimmed constant. Added the mechanism the card's diagnosis implies: the pre-existing case `the finding CITES the contract rather than restating it in its own words` compares the printed finding with this file's own constant, so both sides move together and a never-sourced sentence passes it — three new self-test cases read `.claude/agents/os-dev.md` through a new AGENT_RULES_SOURCE literal and require every sentence between the corner brackets to appear in it verbatim, refusing both an unreadable rules file and a vacuous zero-sentence extraction. No verdict logic, no exit code, no REQUIRED_CONTEXTS and none of PR #16749's guidance text was touched; remedy 2 (a governed-surface ruling change) and remedy 3 (a declaration-mirrors pair) were not taken.", "tests": "SELF-TEST: `pnpm check:partof-closing-keyword` exit 0 — judgment line `✓ check-partof-closing-keyword self-test: 92 cases pass.` (89 before, +3).

ABLATION: fix committed first (cd09dbd68), then the removed sentence re-injected INSIDE the corner brackets by a trap-guarded script using absolute paths. On-disk proof of the mutation, anchored on both texts: injected-text grep -c 0 -> 1, bracket-close grep -c 1 -> 0; blob moved 76e6ea816da7a0bc42bb3c4c5a1f52e30f0f2427 -> 3708551ff32d6d9446195e05faf9498461760023. Mutated run: self-test exit 1, `✗ every sentence inside the corner brackets is verbatim in the cited rules file (got [\"squash 会把全部 commit message 连成一条落地,逐条诚实拼成的一条自相矛盾。\"], want [])` — the predicted direction (turns red) and the case names the offending sentence rather than printing a bare false.

Fixes #16747on line 1, and it is the right keyword: remedy 1 was the whole of this card's dispatch; remedy 2 (a sentence added to.claude/agents/os-dev.md) is a governed-surface ruling change this seat does not take; remedy 3 (acheck:declaration-mirrorspair) was graded "filed only if the class recurs", so it closes with the card — 承接者:无 unless the class recurs, and the pin this PR adds covers the one citation that exists.

node scripts/check-partof-closing-keyword.mjs --self-test— exit 0,✓ check-partof-closing-keyword self-test: 92 cases pass., and the three new cases print green by name (the cited rules file is readable,the citation carries quoted sentences at all,every sentence inside the corner brackets is verbatim in the cited rules file). The dev's ablation is the right shape: fix first, mutation proven on disk (blob76e6ea8→3708551), the new case turns red and names the offending sentence, restore bygit checkout HEAD -- path, restored blob equals HEAD. The old case (named.includes(RELATION_CONTRACT)) is kept and the report correctly explains why it could never catch this defect: both of its sides move together.Design note, accepted. The

Filed unassigned by the dev seat working #16653 (session
session_01P58euzUXCVJNwmhuPC9DXY), 2026-09-08. ⛔ Not routed and not graded — that is triage's. Not repaired in #16653's PR on purpose: see "Why it was not fixed in passing" below.The contradiction
scripts/check-partof-closing-keyword.mjsbuilds its printed finding around a constant it presents as a verbatim quotation of this repo's agent rules:The corner-bracket quotation marks, the surrounding docblock and the self-test all assert this is a citation and not a paraphrase:
the finding CITES the contract rather than restating it in its own wordsMeasured
.claude/agents/os-dev.mdcarries the first sentence only, at line 281:The second sentence inside the quotation marks — 「squash 会把全部 commit message 连成一条落地,逐条诚实拼成的一条自相矛盾。」 — appears nowhere else in the tree. Measured at
1ea349f0:So the sentence inside the quotation marks was written here, not quoted from there. Every red RULE 2 run prints it to an agent as the ruling's own words.
Why this is worth a card rather than a note
AGENTS.md's Communication section binds this directly: "引用中文裁决时保持原文、不翻译——改写引文就是改写裁决". A citation that adds a sentence is the same failure in the other direction: it attributes to the ruling a claim the ruling does not make, and the agents that read this output are the same population that reads the rules file, so the two texts are expected to agree.
0a61db1f5. The defect is the attribution, not the content. That is what makes it cheap to get wrong and easy to leave standing.⭐ Worth stating plainly: the gate is right to cite rather than restate, and the mechanism it chose is the correct one. Only the payload drifted from its source.
Candidate remedies (⛔ not a prescription — routing and grading are triage's)
.claude/agents/os-dev.mdso the citation becomes true — a governed-surface edit, maintainer-merged, and a decision about the ruling rather than about this script.check:declaration-mirrors, which exists for exactly this class of two-copies-must-agree drift and does not cover this quote today. That is the only remedy that would stop the next one.Why it was not fixed in passing
#16653's dispatch scopes its PR to the gate's guidance text and its pins. This is a different defect with an unsettled fix shape — one candidate edits a governed surface (
.claude/**), and choosing between "trim the quote" and "amend the ruling" is a decision about what the ruling says, not a mechanical correction. Filing it keeps a text correction from carrying an unmeasured ruling change.Provenance
