Summary

  • Second loop of CLAUDE.md Active Backlog Item 34 (follow-up to Loop 1, PR Item 34 loop 1: house rule + dedupe cross-file duplication in auto-loaded docs #429).
  • CLAUDE.md's own "Known Findings" section (diagnosed, no-action-warranted investigations) is
    verbatim docs/agent-closed-backlog.md's stated scope ("read on demand... when investigating
    something that feels like it was already done"), so it doesn't belong in the always-loaded
    file. Moved the full section there verbatim as a new top-level section (between "Closed Active
    Backlog Items" and "Closed Backlog"), leaving a short pointer behind in CLAUDE.md, matching the
    existing "Cold Storage" relocation's own style/precedent.
  • Net effect: CLAUDE.md drops from 916 → 775 lines (8186 → 6496 words, ~20.6% word reduction) —
    the largest single cut so far in the Item 34 series, since this section was pure historical
    record with zero forward-looking action attached to any entry.
  • Fixed every "CLAUDE.md's Known Findings" cross-reference across the repo to point at the new
    location (docs/agent-interconnect.md x2, docs/plan-pvw-quickstart.md,
    docs/prd-av-safe-build-path.md x2), plus two genuinely pre-existing stale pointers found
    during the sweep (unrelated to this move, but caught by it):
    • CLAUDE.md's own "Next-pin probe" note claimed REQ-AV Tier B's rationale lived in "Known
      Findings" — it actually lives in docs/agent-cold-storage.md (Tier B was shelved pending a
      trigger, not closed with no action). Fixed the citation.
    • tests/selfapps_ux_hardening.ps1's :die-exit/b comment cited "CLAUDE.md's Known Findings"
      for a fact that has always lived in docs/agent-lessons-learned.md's ":die" entry. Fixed the
      citation.
  • Marks Loop 2 as DONE in CLAUDE.md's own Active Backlog Item 34 entry; Loop 3 (distill the
    dependency-strategy essay + table-ify the payload list) remains open.

Test plan

  • tools/run_sanity_sweep.sh CLAUDE.md docs/agent-closed-backlog.md docs/agent-interconnect.md docs/plan-pvw-quickstart.md docs/prd-av-safe-build-path.md tests/selfapps_ux_hardening.ps1 — all checks pass (compileall, pyflakes, delimiters, markdownlint, yamllint, actionlint, ASCII sweep, PowerShell AST parse sweep, pytest 515 passed / 3 skipped).
  • Grepped the whole repo for "Known Findings" post-move to confirm every cross-reference resolves to the new location (no dangling "CLAUDE.md's Known Findings" pointers left).
  • Prose-only diff confirmed via git diff --stat — no code/test-logic files touched (one test file's comment-only fix).

…closed-backlog.md

CLAUDE.md's own "Known Findings" section (diagnosed, no-action-warranted
investigations) is verbatim docs/agent-closed-backlog.md's stated scope
("read on demand... when investigating something that feels like it was
already done"), so it doesn't belong in the always-loaded file. Moved the
full section there verbatim as a new top-level section (between "Closed
Active Backlog Items" and "Closed Backlog"), leaving a short pointer behind
in CLAUDE.md, matching the existing "Cold Storage" relocation's style.

Net: CLAUDE.md drops from 916 to 775 lines (8186 to 6496 words, ~20.6%
word reduction) -- the largest single cut so far in the Item 34 series,
since this section was pure historical record with zero forward-looking
action, the same rationale that already justified moving "Cold Storage"
and the bulk "Closed Backlog" changelog out previously.

Also fixed every "CLAUDE.md's Known Findings" cross-reference across the
repo to point at the new location (docs/agent-interconnect.md x2,
docs/plan-pvw-quickstart.md, docs/prd-av-safe-build-path.md x2), plus two
genuinely pre-existing stale pointers found during the sweep, unrelated to
this move but caught by it:
- CLAUDE.md's own "Next-pin probe" note claimed REQ-AV Tier B's rationale
  lived in "Known Findings" -- it actually lives in
  docs/agent-cold-storage.md (Tier B was shelved pending a trigger, not
  closed with no action). Fixed the citation.
- tests/selfapps_ux_hardening.ps1's :die-exit/b comment cited "CLAUDE.md's
  Known Findings" for a fact that has always lived in
  docs/agent-lessons-learned.md's ":die" entry. Fixed the citation.

Marks Item 34 Loop 2 as DONE in CLAUDE.md's own Active Backlog entry; Loop
3 (distill the dependency-strategy essay) remains open.

Learning: For PowerShell scenario tests in tests/, use tests/selfapps_<scenario>.ps1 with tests/harness.ps1 and CI registration for standalone full-bootstrap scenarios. Keep closely related extensions of flows already covered by tests/selftest.ps1—including empty-folder and shared stub-flow scenarios—in tests/selftest.ps1, reusing its Invoke-Setup helper and scratch-directory infrastructure instead of adding separate harness or CI wiring.

Learning: In the documentation files describing the removed UNC warning check in `run_setup.bat`, state only verified behavior: the check emitted `[WARN] UNC paths not supported` for an ordinary local path and was removed because the separate UNC-prefix guard already handles UNC detection. Do not assert the exact `findstr` or cmd.exe backslash-parsing mechanism, since it was not independently verified.

* Item 34 loop 3: distill dependency-strategy essay, table-ify payload list

Closes CLAUDE.md Active Backlog Item 34's final loop (follow-up to Loops 1-2,
PR #429/#430).

- Distilled three "essay" sections (pipreqs pin rationale, pipreqs invocation
  rationale, the warnfix SKIP-set walkthrough) down to a 2-4 sentence
  load-bearing rule per topic, moving the full multi-paragraph justification
  verbatim to docs/agent-closed-backlog.md's new "Dependency Strategy
  Rationale" reference section -- zero information loss, same pointer
  pattern Loops 1-2 already established.
- Trimmed the 6 Bootstrap Architecture Principles in place (wording-only;
  there was no separate narrative to move out, just redundant clauses to
  cut while keeping all 6 principles and their concrete examples intact).
- Table-ified "run_setup.bat Rules"'s 7-payload paragraph list into a
  4-column table (payload / decodes-to / purpose / canonical source).
- Item 34 itself is now fully resolved -- moved from CLAUDE.md's Active
  Backlog to docs/agent-closed-backlog.md's Closed Active Backlog Items
  (keeping its number, summarizing all 3 loops), and CLAUDE.md's Active
  Backlog reset to the explicit "Nothing here." empty marker.

Net: CLAUDE.md drops from 775 to 687 lines (6496 to 5573 words, ~14.2%
further reduction) -- combined with Loops 1-2, CLAUDE.md is now 687 lines
versus the pre-Item-34 baseline of 916 (~25% total reduction across the
three loops), with zero information loss (every fact moved, not deleted).

* Fix PR #431 CodeRabbit finding: pipreqs CI gate note read as contradicting the pin directive

The compression pass moved "the pipreqs.flags CI gate validates invocation
flags, not the version, so the pin is free to change" into the same sentence
group as "do not upgrade this pin", making a pre-existing narrow technical
note (the CI gate doesn't assert an exact version string) read as directly
contradicting the strong prohibition right above it. Reworded to state
plainly that the gate's flag-only scope does not authorize changing 0.4.13.
