The author agent read STATUS.md, saw the owner's 2026-08-07 rule that ordinary
fixes are made locally without tests or commits, correctly ranked it below
AGENTS.md and PROCESS.md, and followed the canon instead. That is the trust
order doing its job — and the canon's second half says a divergence is not
ignored but fixed.
The line now says what replaced it: since release 1.62 every product change goes
through the process — an issue in S5-ready or later, a task branch, trailers on
every commit, the review pipeline. The release mechanics in the same cell were
still accurate and stay.

One word was mistyped while transferring the file: "на каждый HA state
update" instead of "на каждом". The moved document must match the original
byte for byte.

Three review documents sat in the repository root, committed before the pipeline
existed and before docs/reviews/ did. The directory exists now and the pipeline
writes into it, so they move there and the root stops being a second place to
look.
The #89 spec had a twin: the research draft next to the normative stage1
document, two files for one issue. The draft goes to legacy — it fed the
decisions and is worth keeping, but nothing should read it as current.
ROADMAP.md carried a live link to the Project v2 board that was dropped
yesterday; missed then because the sweep grepped for status-canon wording, not
for every link. And docs/README.ru.md said "verified against v1.60.0" as if
that were fresh — the line is now an explicit warning naming what to trust
instead: USER-GUIDE.ru.md and the changelogs.

The owner stopped using GitHub Projects. Most of this is wording, but one part
was not: release-prerelease.mjs talked to the Project in code. finishIssues
looked up the project id, listed its items and its Status=Done option, and threw
when an issue was missing from the board — so the first release that closed an
issue would have died on a step with nothing to do with publishing. Found by
reading rather than by releasing, which was luck.
Closing issues stays, and now strips the status label first. That order is not
cosmetic: the invariant that a closed issue carries no status label has broken
twice already, both times because a manual step did it the other way round. The
close-merged job already does it in this order.
The documents now say labels and only labels. The explicit "no longer used"
lines are kept on purpose, in PROCESS.md and next to the code that used to sync:
a decision that vanishes quietly gets reintroduced a month later by someone who
never knew it was made.
Issue: #139

Five times in this project a green test meant nothing was checked. The
continuity smoke stayed green after the entire mechanism it guards was cut out.
The golden scene created to protect doorway light was empty — 1,177 warm pixels
against 107,119, all of them icons. The shadow smoke passed while no shadow was
drawn. Each time the test had been written alongside the code, went green at
once, and nobody ever asked whether it could go red.
The gate makes that question routine. Each mutant is a few lines of patch that
reproduce a known breakage, plus the name of the test that must fail on it. A
worktree is patched, the bundle rebuilt, the guard run — and a guard that stays
green fails the gate. Six mutants cover the holes documented in #85; the anchors
are exact strings from today's source, so the registry cannot silently drift —
a unit test that runs with the ordinary suite refuses a stale anchor.
The full run rebuilds the bundle per mutant, so it lives in its own workflow,
before a stable release and on a weekly schedule, not in Validate. The rules for
new tests are written at the top of docs/TESTING.md, and the sixth of them is
the cheapest: an assertion that reads back the property the code just set is
not written at all.
