…ping ban Adds a docs/ARCHIVE.md §14 entry documenting that PR #169 reversed the attribution-stripping ban a few hours after it was recorded, and that the reversal itself was never logged per this repo's own deviation rule. Does not relitigate which policy is correct — CLAUDE.md's current strip-and-reverify text stands as-is. Adds one line to CLAUDE.md § Attribution: future attribution-policy changes must include their §14 entry in the same PR that changes the policy, not as a follow-up.

What changed
Adds a
docs/ARCHIVE.md§14 entry documenting that PR #169 reversed the "attribution-stripping banned" §14 entry a few hours after it was recorded, and that the reversal itself was never logged — a direct gap against this repo's own rule that a deviation is recorded indocs/ARCHIVE.mdthe moment it happens, not as a later cleanup pass.This does not relitigate which attribution policy is correct.
CLAUDE.md§ Attribution's current text (strip-and-reverify, from #169) stands as the live policy, unchanged. The new entry only closes the gap between what the archive said happened and whatCLAUDE.mdactually says today.Also adds one line to
CLAUDE.md§ Attribution: any future change to the attribution policy must include its §14 entry in the same PR that changes the policy, not as a follow-up — the actual gap that let this go unrecorded.Why
Asked to reconcile a conflict between
CLAUDE.md§ Attribution (strip-and-reverify) and adocs/ARCHIVE.md§14 entry banning stripping outright. Traced the timeline via the archive's own newest-first ordering and the live PRs:The maintainer decided (a): document that #169 superseded the ban, without re-opening which policy is correct.
Not done
No change to the ban entry's own text — it stands as written, with the new entry marking it superseded rather than editing it in place, so both the original finding and its reversal remain on the record. No empirical re-test of whether a PATCH still re-appends a stripped footer.
