Summary

  • Adds three deterministic test hooks (HP_TEST_FORCE_NO_POWERSHELL, HP_TEST_FORCE_LF_ONLY, HP_TEST_FORCE_PS_CHECK_FAIL) to the line-ending self-check at the very top of run_setup.bat, so CI can exercise all three of its failure branches -- PowerShell absent, PowerShell present but the check itself fails, and a genuine LF-only copy of the file. Previously none of these had any CI coverage, since a normal actions/checkout always normalizes to CRLF and can never organically produce a broken file to test against (this was flagged by review as a real gap against AGENTS.md's "every branch needs a CI test" rule, and tracked as CLAUDE.md's Active Backlog Item 44's own "Known gap").
  • Adds tests/selfapps_lineending_check.ps1, wired gating into the real/conda-full lanes (matching the existing self.preflight.syntax precedent for a cheap, provider-agnostic, pure-batch preflight test).
  • The LF-only and PS-check-fail hooks redirect HP_SELF_PATH at a synthetic file rather than faking an exit code externally, so the real, unmodified PowerShell command's own logic is what actually gets exercised. Both this design and the underlying PowerShell command's exact behavior for each case were verified directly against a real PowerShell 7 binary before landing -- which also caught a real bug in the test script itself pre-CI: an initial draft used -like "*...*" for substring assertions, which silently mis-evaluates any string containing [/] (its wildcard syntax treats brackets as a character class). Fixed to .Contains().
  • Archives Item 44 (root cause, mitigation, and this closure) to docs/agent-closed-backlog.md and removes it from CLAUDE.md's Active Backlog per the repo's own "closed items move out entirely" convention. docs/open-questions.md's item 2 (whether to fix the distribution channel itself) stays open as a separate, unrelated maintainer decision -- not a precondition for this item's closure.
  • A raw-download-from-branch test (fetching the real corrupted bytes via raw.githubusercontent.com instead of synthesizing them locally) was considered and rejected for the CI-gating test: it would add network/fork-branch-resolution complexity for no additional coverage, since the corruption mechanism is already fully triangulated at the byte level, and it would break this repo's convention of keeping gating tests deterministic.

Test plan

  • python tools/check_delimiters.py run_setup.bat
  • PowerShell command logic (all three branch conditions) verified directly against a real PowerShell 7 binary, not just reasoned about
  • New selfapps test script AST-parsed clean via [System.Management.Automation.Language.Parser]::ParseFile
  • tools/run_sanity_sweep.sh -- compileall, pyflakes, delimiter check, yamllint, actionlint, ASCII sweep, PowerShell AST parse sweep all clean
  • python -m pytest tests/test_*.py -q -- 464 passed, 54 skipped (pre-existing Windows-only skips)
  • python tools/check_ndjson_registry.py -- PASS, no doc/code registry mismatches (confirms the 3 new row ids are correctly wired in both the doc and the emission sites)
  • Real Windows CI (real/conda-full lanes) -- pending, this PR's own first run

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.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added startup validation for PowerShell availability and required Windows line endings.
    • Added clear status files and distinct exit codes for unsupported or invalid setup conditions.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of LF-only downloads and unavailable PowerShell with actionable failure messages.
  • Tests

    • Added automated coverage for missing PowerShell, validation failures, and LF-only script scenarios.
  • Documentation

    • Documented preflight checks, troubleshooting guidance, CI coverage, and distribution considerations.

Walkthrough

The batch bootstrap now validates PowerShell availability and CRLF line endings before control flow. A Windows PowerShell self-test covers three forced failure scenarios. CI collects scenario artifacts, and repository documentation records the defect, test coverage, and distribution guidance.

Changes

Bootstrap preflight validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Preflight checks and scenario execution
run_setup.bat, tests/selfapps_lineending_check.ps1
run_setup.bat checks PowerShell and CRLF line endings before bootstrap processing. The self-test runs isolated missing-PowerShell, PowerShell-check-failure, and LF-only scenarios.
CI and preflight records
.github/workflows/batch-check.yml, docs/agent-ndjson.md
CI runs the self-test in the real and conda-full lanes and collects scenario logs and status files. The NDJSON registry documents the scenarios and expected results.
Line-ending distribution guidance
docs/agent-closed-backlog.md, docs/open-questions.md, CLAUDE.md
Documentation records the LF-only raw-download defect, mitigation, distribution options, closed backlog status, and updated provenance heading.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b29f8

The PR adds Windows CI coverage for line-ending preflight failure branches, but the current test harness can falsely report success on PowerShell 5.1, lose required result records, or hang during local runs, while related documentation and failure artifacts remain incomplete. These bounded issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

… preflight branches

Adds HP_TEST_FORCE_NO_POWERSHELL, HP_TEST_FORCE_LF_ONLY, and
HP_TEST_FORCE_PS_CHECK_FAIL to the line-ending self-check at the top of
run_setup.bat, plus tests/selfapps_lineending_check.ps1 (wired gating into
real/conda-full) exercising all three. The LF-only and PS-check-fail hooks
redirect HP_SELF_PATH at a synthetic file rather than faking an exit code,
so the real unmodified PowerShell command's own logic is what gets tested
-- verified directly against a real PowerShell 7 binary before landing,
which also caught a -like/bracket wildcard bug in the test script itself
before it ever reached CI.

Archives Item 44 (root cause + mitigation + this closure) to
docs/agent-closed-backlog.md and removes it from CLAUDE.md's Active
Backlog. docs/open-questions.md's item 2 (distribution channel) stays
open as a separate, unrelated maintainer decision.

run_setup.bat

📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (AGENTS.md)

run_setup.bat: run_setup.bat must function as a single bootstrapper when dropped beside the application, without requiring committed helper files.
Every branch added to run_setup.bat or its related helpers must have a CI test, including feature flags, fallbacks, recovery paths, and fast/full paths.
Keep bootstrapper log messages synchronized with CI parsers; update workflow checks whenever messages or status summaries change.
All embedded helpers must remain base64-encoded under :define_helper_payloads; changing one requires synchronizing the matching HP_* line and rerunning delimiter checks.
Do not remove tilde prefixes from runtime artifact paths such as ~bootstrap.status.json, ~setup.log, ~environment.lock.txt, and ~env.state.json.

run_setup.bat: 2. Delimiter-check after every edit:

python tools/check_delimiters.py run_setup.bat

call "%CONDA_BAT%" ... for all conda invocations
--override-channels -c conda-forge on all installs

Run tools/check_delimiters.py and apply its batch heuristics, including caret escaping, quoted filesystem variables, escaped pipes, PowerShell operator placement, and spacing after rem.

This CI scenario runs with PowerShell 7 through pwsh, and the script documents PowerShell 7 as its verification target. Windows PowerShell 5.1 compatibility is not required here.

Correct the item range.

This section starts with Item 45, not Item 44. Item 44 moved to docs/agent-closed-backlog.md. Change “Items 44-52 below” to “Items 45-52 below” or reference the closed item separately.

The PR objective states that Item 44 moved to docs/agent-closed-backlog.md.

Keep indeterminate lock results fail-closed.

Do not treat an unknown :lock_is_stale result like the path that continues without a lock. A transient PowerShell failure could then allow two bootstrapper instances to modify the same application directory. Use bounded retry or an explicit abort for the indeterminate state. Continue only after lock ownership is confirmed.

The documented contract identifies stale and fresh as recognized results.

…ect, doc accuracy

- Wire the three new line-ending scratch dirs' bootstrap log and status
  file into batch-check.yml's "Upload test logs" step (both slash-style
  variants, matching the existing convention) -- previously a failure in
  any of the three scenarios would leave no debuggable artifact.
- Redirect stdin from nul on the run_setup.bat invocation in
  selfapps_lineending_check.ps1, so a local (non-CI) run of the script
  cannot hang on `pause` across all three scenarios.
- Fix CLAUDE.md's "Items 44-52" range to "Items 45-52" -- Item 44 moved
  to docs/agent-closed-backlog.md in the prior commit and is no longer
  among the items listed below that line.
- Correct agent-closed-backlog.md's Item 44 wording: the LF-only test
  exercises the line-ending DETECTION logic only: it never executes an
  LF-only copy of run_setup.bat, so it does not itself demonstrate
  cmd.exe's goto/call byte-offset-drift misbehavior (that was
  established independently, by the original sandbox debugging session).

Not addressed: CodeRabbit's "keep indeterminate lock results fail-closed"
finding asks to fix :lock_is_stale's pre-existing indeterminate-result
gap -- that is CLAUDE.md's already-filed, unrelated Active Backlog Item
49, untouched by this PR's diff. Fixing it here would violate this
repo's own "freeze scope, one slice per loop" iteration rule. Replied
on the PR thread explaining this.

Two more findings from the latest review landed in the review body rather than as inline threads (noted as "failed to post"), replying here instead:

"Correct the item range" (CLAUDE.md 950-960) -- correct, fixed in b3c397b: "Items 44-52" is now "Items 45-52", since Item 44 moved to docs/agent-closed-backlog.md earlier in this same PR and is no longer among the items listed below that line.

"Keep indeterminate lock results fail-closed" (CLAUDE.md 1048-1051) -- not addressing this one in this PR. That's a description of a pre-existing bug in :lock_is_stale (CLAUDE.md's Active Backlog Item 49), filed in an earlier PR and untouched by this PR's diff -- this PR only edits the line-ending preflight block at the very top of run_setup.bat, nothing related to the concurrent-instance lock. Item 49 is real and already tracked with its own proposed fix; implementing it here would mix an unrelated "Heavy lift" fix into a PR scoped to CI-coverage for a different, already-shipped feature, which is exactly what this repo's own iteration rules (CLAUDE.md's "freeze scope, one slice per loop") that your own path-based instructions surfaced say not to do. Happy to pick up Item 49 as its own dedicated PR.

Also confirmed markdownlint-cli2 CLAUDE.md runs clean (0 issues) -- should have included that in the original test plan.

@coderabbitai review

All CI checks are green (all 8 matrix lanes, CodeQL, aggregate self-test verdicts, NDJSON registry check). All 5 actionable findings from the previous review have been addressed (3 fixed in b3c397b, 1 fixed, 1 explained as out-of-scope above) and their threads are marked resolved -- requesting a fresh review to clear the original CHANGES_REQUESTED verdict against current HEAD.

- Replace the $IsWindows check in selfapps_lineending_check.ps1 with
  [System.Environment]::OSVersion.Platform: $IsWindows is undefined
  under Windows PowerShell 5.1 (only introduced in PowerShell 6+), so
  "-not $IsWindows" always reads true there, silently skipping all
  three scenarios with pass=true instead of actually testing them.
  Currently harmless in this repo's own CI (every selfapps step is
  invoked via shell: pwsh, which does define $IsWindows), but not
  robust against any other invocation path. The same $IsWindows
  pattern pre-exists across ~44 other selfapps_*.ps1 files in this
  repo; only the file this PR introduces is fixed here.
- Reword agent-closed-backlog.md's Item 44 entry to cite the
  line-ending self-check by its own "LINE-ENDING SELF-CHECK" header
  banner instead of a positional description -- the block deliberately
  predates every :label in run_setup.bat, so no subroutine name exists
  to cite instead.

Fail the self-test when an NDJSON artifact write fails.

$ErrorActionPreference = 'Continue' makes failed New-Item and Add-Content calls non-terminating. $pass excludes artifact-write status, so the script can exit 0 without writing its required row. Add -ErrorAction Stop to both artifact-creation and artifact-write calls, or exit nonzero when a write fails.

Learning: PowerShell scripts named selfapps_*.ps1 that must remain compatible with Windows PowerShell 5.1 should not rely on the automatic $IsWindows variable, which is unavailable there. Use a compatible operating-system check such as [System.Environment]::OSVersion.Platform instead. CI invokes these scripts with pwsh, where $IsWindows is available, so ensure the chosen check works across both environments.

Item 44's fix description claimed the line-ending self-check is
"literally the first thing" run_setup.bat does. Not accurate -- setlocal,
the HP_PREFLIGHT_STATUS assignment, and the where powershell call all
run first. The actual guarantee (and the one that matters) is that the
check runs before any goto/call in the file, which is what the sentence

Two real issues caught by CodeRabbit's review:

- selfapps_ux_hardening.ps1's whole-script $allPass aggregate (line
  1184) still referenced $gaBatCrlf, the variable renamed to
  $gaBatText earlier in this same PR. Under PowerShell's non-strict
  mode the undefined reference silently evaluated to $null, making
  $allPass always false regardless of actual test outcomes -- this
  script would have always exited 1. Fixed to reference $gaBatText.

- selfapps_ux_hardening.ps1's non-Windows skip guard used $IsWindows,
  which is undefined under Windows PowerShell 5.1 (only introduced in
  PowerShell 6+). The identical bug was already fixed in the sibling
  selfapps_lineending_check.ps1 (PR #434); this file had not been
  updated to match. Fixed to the same
  [System.Environment]::OSVersion.Platform pattern.

A third finding (:merge_git_config doesn't migrate an existing
.gitattributes with the old eol=crlf rules to -text) is real and
correctly rated "Major, Heavy lift" by CodeRabbit -- left for a
follow-up rather than folded into this PR; it needs a real
read-modify-write against a user's own file plus a new regression
scenario, not a quick fix.

* Fix two stale post-#435 messages; close Item 51; file Item 59

A high-confidence external review (working from the repo alone, no CI
log access) caught two places the CRLF distribution fix (#435) landed
but didn't revisit:

- run_setup.bat's own line-ending self-check panel still told a
  confused user to "re-download using git clone, not the Raw button" --
  true before #435, false and actively bad advice after it (steers a
  git-less Prime Directive user toward a tool they don't have, instead
  of just re-downloading via the now-fixed Raw link). The panel and its
  header comment now describe the check as defense-in-depth against a
  stale/re-saved copy, not a workaround for a still-broken channel.
- :merge_git_config (REQ-015) still wrote *.bat eol=crlf / *.cmd
  eol=crlf into every bootstrapped user's OWN .gitattributes -- the
  exact pattern this repo just proved insufficient for itself. Changed
  to *.bat -text / *.cmd -text, matching this repo's own .gitattributes.

Both fixes updated their matching test assertions
(selfapps_lineending_check.ps1, selfapps_ux_hardening.ps1) and the
REQ-015 spec in README.md in lockstep.

Also closes Active Backlog Item 51 (HP_PIPREQS_RC errorlevel-capture
ordering): the same review settled the underlying cmd.exe semantics
question (a successful plain "set" does not itself touch %errorlevel%,
so this was very likely never a live bug) but the zero-risk reorder fix
was applied anyway, exactly as the item's own note recommended, closing
the cross-call-site inconsistency regardless of who's right.

Files Active Backlog Item 59: CodeRabbit's automated review did not run
on PR #435 (manual-trigger-required repo config) -- standing directive
for future PRs to trigger it via @coderabbitai review, plus a record of
what this pass caught as the motivating evidence.

Two real issues caught by CodeRabbit's review:

- selfapps_ux_hardening.ps1's whole-script $allPass aggregate (line
  1184) still referenced $gaBatCrlf, the variable renamed to
  $gaBatText earlier in this same PR. Under PowerShell's non-strict

  $allPass always false regardless of actual test outcomes -- this
  script would have always exited 1. Fixed to reference $gaBatText.

* File Item 60: REQ-015 does not migrate an existing .gitattributes

CodeRabbit's review on PR #436 (rated Major, Heavy lift) correctly
identified that the idempotency guard in :merge_git_config means a
user who already ran an older run_setup.bat keeps *.bat eol=crlf /
*.cmd eol=crlf forever -- item 59's fix only covers a fresh append,
not migrating existing content. Real design questions (replace vs.
append-superseding-rules) mean this needs its own scoping pass rather
than a rushed fix folded into this PR.

* Fix two more CodeRabbit findings on PR #436

- Test 4's .gitattributes assertion only checked *.bat -text, never
  *.cmd -text, even though :merge_git_config writes both. A regression
  in the .cmd rule specifically could have passed silently. Added
  $gaCmdText, included in both the row's own pass condition and the
  whole-script $allPass aggregate.
- Tagged the -text rationale comment as "# derived requirement:" per
  this repo's own convention for non-obvious constraints.

Verified: PS AST parse clean, check_delimiters.py clean (one
pre-existing, unrelated finding at a shifted line number, confirmed
present before this change too), ASCII clean, markdownlint-cli2
CLAUDE.md clean.

…ALL (#466)

* Close Item 42 lever 1: tier console output, suppress DEBUG/TRACE/INSTALL

:log now suppresses [DEBUG]/[TRACE]/[INSTALL]-tagged lines from the live
console by default (a plain %VAR:~start,len% substring check, no
findstr/piping hazard) -- ~setup.log is unaffected, still gets full
detail unconditionally. New opt-in HP_VERBOSE_CONSOLE=1 restores all
three tags to the console, documented in README.md.

Fixes the console-redirected-log dependency the precondition audit
found in tests/selfapps_pvw_overrides.ps1 (both PVW_WORKSPACE
scenarios), plus a second one a fresh re-grep turned up in
tests/selftest.ps1's conda per-pkg fallback scenario -- both now read
~setup.log instead.

Adds tests/selfapps_console_tiering.ps1 (self.console.tiering, uv
lane, non-gating) proving the suppression and the opt-in restoration
both work against a real bootstrap run.

* Fix self.stub.conda_retry (real CI failure, contract-uv lane)

tests/selftest.ps1's conda-bulk transient-retry scenario matched the
bracket-free phrase "conda bulk: transient failure detected" (an
[INSTALL]-tagged line, suppressed from the live console by lever 1)
against its own console-redirected capture -- now reads ~setup.log
instead, matching the fix already applied to its self.stub.conda_perpkg
sibling.

This is a fourth dependency the tag-only re-grep in the prior commit
missed, since the test's own -like pattern strips the bracket. A
follow-up exhaustive sweep -- every real [DEBUG]/[TRACE]/[INSTALL]
message body in run_setup.bat, grepped bracket-free against the full
tests/ tree -- confirms no further dependency remains.

$IsWindows is a PowerShell 6+ automatic variable, undefined (reads as
$null/falsy) under Windows PowerShell 5.1 -- "if (-not $IsWindows) { skip }"
silently skips real Windows execution there. This exact bug was
independently rediscovered and fixed one file at a time across at least
4 prior PRs (#434, #436, and others), each leaving its own explanatory
comment with no repo-wide fix or check.

A full-repo audit found 44 tests/*.ps1 files still carrying the original
buggy pattern (all confirmed identical in shape via direct inspection) --
bulk-corrected to [System.Environment]::OSVersion.Platform, which works
identically under pwsh and Windows PowerShell 5.1. Verified: PowerShell
AST parse sweep clean, CRLF line endings preserved in all 44 files, full
pytest suite unchanged (565 passed/3 skipped, +2 for the new regression
tests).

Two new safety nets so this cannot silently recur:
- tools/check_delimiters.py flags any live (non-comment) $IsWindows
  reference in a .ps1 file, with regression tests in
  tests/test_check_delimiters_import.py.
- tools/run_sanity_sweep.sh gained a dedicated "ISWINDOWS CHECK" step
  (a targeted grep, not the full delimiter checker, to avoid coupling to
  that checker's separate, pre-existing PowerShell boolean-operator
  false-positive class on multi-line expressions in several unrelated
  test files -- untangling that is its own separate, out-of-scope task).

Also: documented the lesson prominently in CLAUDE.md's Key Conventions
table (previously only in agent-lessons-learned.md, which didn't stop
the pattern from recurring) and docs/agent-lessons-learned.md's own
entry; fixed a stale CLAUDE.md example command
("check_delimiters.py run" is not a valid invocation -- corrected to
"check_delimiters.py .").

Per explicit instruction: local commit only, held back from pushing
until CI on PR #470's current head finishes, to bundle together rather
than restart the in-progress CI run.

* Unify EXE verification CWD to the app root (CLAUDE.md Item 38)

:run_exe_smokerun (fresh-build verification) and :exe_smokerun_hints
(its diagnostic re-run) now verify from the app root instead of dist\,
matching :try_fast_exe/:verify_no_exe_interpreter and the interpreter's
own run. Previously a CWD-relative-path app (e.g. open("config.json"),
with config.json sitting next to the .py source) could pass on a fresh
build and fail on the very next run, or vice versa, with no code change
in between.

selfapps_exedata_fail.ps1's former "plain" xfail scenario (which relied
on the old dist\ CWD to make config.json genuinely missing) is now
selfapps_exe_cwd_consistency.ps1, a positive two-run proof that a fresh
build and a fast-path reuse agree. The remaining mei_substring/
mei_genuine scenarios stay genuine XFAILs, unaffected by the CWD change.

Two narrower-blast-radius pushd dist sites (:offer_optimized_build's
internal verify, :hidden_import_recover's diagnostic re-run) are
deliberately deferred and documented inline -- no existing test depends
on either site's CWD, and unifying them isn't needed to close the
inconsistency this item is about.

* Fix boolean-operator checker false positives; cut concrete doc duplication

check_delimiters.py's PowerShell -and/-or heuristic only ever looked at
the CURRENT physical line for an assignment or control keyword, producing
24 false positives across 8 real, already-shipped test files on valid
multi-line PowerShell (backtick continuation, natural continuation via a
trailing -and/-or, or nesting inside a bracket opened on an earlier
line). Fixed by carrying a "was this statement's context already
established" verdict across continuations and treating an already-open
bracket as safe too -- the original hazard the check exists to catch (a
bare command followed by -and/-or) is unaffected, since that's a
separate, unconditional check. `python tools/check_delimiters.py .` (the
whole repo) now reports zero findings for real, not zero-after-manual-
triage. 6 new regression tests (3 confirming real false positives are
gone, 2 confirming the original hazard is still caught).

run_sanity_sweep.sh's DELIMITER CHECK step now scans the whole repo
instead of just run_setup.bat, since it's finally safe to do so.

Also cut two concrete cases of duplicated content:
- CLAUDE.md's "Mandatory Sanity Checks" section reproduced the entire
  bash block tools/run_sanity_sweep.sh already encapsulates (and said so
  immediately below the block) -- replaced with a short description and
  a pointer to the script, which is now the single source of truth for
  exactly what runs.
- AGENTS.md's "Embedded payload inventory" table had drifted out of sync
  with CLAUDE.md's own actively-maintained payload table (missing several
  real payloads) -- replaced with a pointer to CLAUDE.md's copy.

* Address round-2 CodeRabbit findings: MD031 fence spacing + lexical $IsWindows scan

docs/agent-lessons-learned.md: add blank lines around the fenced PowerShell
block so markdownlint's MD031 stops flagging it.

tools/check_delimiters.py: the $IsWindows (and sibling $var:) scans searched
raw whole-file text, so a quoted occurrence (e.g. Write-Host '$IsWindows')
would false-positive, and a '#' inside an earlier quoted string on the same
line could suppress a later genuine live reference. Both now route through a
new find_live_ps1_matches helper built on the existing sanitize_ps1_line
quote/comment stripper, closing both gaps for both checks at once.

* Fix double-quote interpolation gap in check_delimiters.py PS1 sanitizer

CodeRabbit's follow-up review found sanitize_ps1_line stripped double-quoted
string content uniformly with single-quoted, hiding a live $variable
reference PowerShell actually interpolates at runtime (e.g. "$IsWindows" or
"$script:someVar"). Single-quoted strings never interpolate, so they're
correctly untouched. Now the variable token itself (bare $name, an optional
:scope suffix, or braced ${name}) survives the strip inside double quotes;
everything else in the string is still stripped as before.

Also drops a redundant quoted type annotation (Ruff UP037) now that the file
already has `from __future__ import annotations`.

4 new regression tests cover: interpolated $IsWindows in double quotes now
flagged, the single-quoted counterpart staying clean, an interpolated
non-allowlisted scope prefix ($myModule:someVar) now flagged, and the
braced ${...} escape hatch correctly staying unflagged.

* Make $IsWindows detector case-insensitive and brace-aware

CodeRabbit's third-round review found iswindows_re only matched exact-case
$IsWindows, but PowerShell variable names are case-insensitive ($ISWINDOWS/
$iswindows are the same undefined-under-PS-5.1 automatic variable) and a
braced ${IsWindows} reference is equally live PowerShell syntax, not
confined to interpolated strings. Added re.IGNORECASE and a braced
alternative to iswindows_re; the sanitizer's own VAR_INTERP_RE already
preserved both shapes correctly, so only the detector regex needed fixing.

4 new regression tests: lowercase bare reference, braced bare reference,
braced interpolation in a double-quoted string, and the single-quoted
counterpart staying inert.

  (a targeted grep, not the full delimiter checker, to avoid coupling to
  that checker's separate, pre-existing PowerShell boolean-operator
  false-positive class on multi-line expressions in several unrelated
  test files -- untangling that is its own separate, out-of-scope task).

Also: documented the lesson prominently in CLAUDE.md's Key Conventions
table (previously only in agent-lessons-learned.md, which didn't stop
the pattern from recurring) and docs/agent-lessons-learned.md's own
entry; fixed a stale CLAUDE.md example command
("check_delimiters.py run" is not a valid invocation -- corrected to
"check_delimiters.py .").

Per explicit instruction: local commit only, held back from pushing
until CI on PR #470's current head finishes, to bundle together rather
than restart the in-progress CI run.

* Fix boolean-operator checker false positives; cut concrete doc duplication

check_delimiters.py's PowerShell -and/-or heuristic only ever looked at
the CURRENT physical line for an assignment or control keyword, producing
24 false positives across 8 real, already-shipped test files on valid
multi-line PowerShell (backtick continuation, natural continuation via a
trailing -and/-or, or nesting inside a bracket opened on an earlier
line). Fixed by carrying a "was this statement's context already
established" verdict across continuations and treating an already-open
bracket as safe too -- the original hazard the check exists to catch (a
bare command followed by -and/-or) is unaffected, since that's a
separate, unconditional check. `python tools/check_delimiters.py .` (the
whole repo) now reports zero findings for real, not zero-after-manual-
triage. 6 new regression tests (3 confirming real false positives are
gone, 2 confirming the original hazard is still caught).

run_sanity_sweep.sh's DELIMITER CHECK step now scans the whole repo
instead of just run_setup.bat, since it's finally safe to do so.

Also cut two concrete cases of duplicated content:
- CLAUDE.md's "Mandatory Sanity Checks" section reproduced the entire
  bash block tools/run_sanity_sweep.sh already encapsulates (and said so
  immediately below the block) -- replaced with a short description and
  a pointer to the script, which is now the single source of truth for
  exactly what runs.
- AGENTS.md's "Embedded payload inventory" table had drifted out of sync
  with CLAUDE.md's own actively-maintained payload table (missing several
  real payloads) -- replaced with a pointer to CLAUDE.md's copy.

* Address round-2 CodeRabbit findings: MD031 fence spacing + lexical $IsWindows scan

docs/agent-lessons-learned.md: add blank lines around the fenced PowerShell
block so markdownlint's MD031 stops flagging it.

tools/check_delimiters.py: the $IsWindows (and sibling $var:) scans searched
raw whole-file text, so a quoted occurrence (e.g. Write-Host '$IsWindows')
would false-positive, and a '#' inside an earlier quoted string on the same
line could suppress a later genuine live reference. Both now route through a
new find_live_ps1_matches helper built on the existing sanitize_ps1_line
quote/comment stripper, closing both gaps for both checks at once.

* Fix double-quote interpolation gap in check_delimiters.py PS1 sanitizer

CodeRabbit's follow-up review found sanitize_ps1_line stripped double-quoted
string content uniformly with single-quoted, hiding a live $variable
reference PowerShell actually interpolates at runtime (e.g. "$IsWindows" or
"$script:someVar"). Single-quoted strings never interpolate, so they're
correctly untouched. Now the variable token itself (bare $name, an optional
:scope suffix, or braced ${name}) survives the strip inside double quotes;
everything else in the string is still stripped as before.

Also drops a redundant quoted type annotation (Ruff UP037) now that the file
already has `from __future__ import annotations`.

4 new regression tests cover: interpolated $IsWindows in double quotes now
flagged, the single-quoted counterpart staying clean, an interpolated
non-allowlisted scope prefix ($myModule:someVar) now flagged, and the
braced ${...} escape hatch correctly staying unflagged.

* Make $IsWindows detector case-insensitive and brace-aware

CodeRabbit's third-round review found iswindows_re only matched exact-case
$IsWindows, but PowerShell variable names are case-insensitive ($ISWINDOWS/
$iswindows are the same undefined-under-PS-5.1 automatic variable) and a
braced ${IsWindows} reference is equally live PowerShell syntax, not
confined to interpolated strings. Added re.IGNORECASE and a braced
alternative to iswindows_re; the sanitizer's own VAR_INTERP_RE already
preserved both shapes correctly, so only the detector regex needed fixing.

4 new regression tests: lowercase bare reference, braced bare reference,
braced interpolation in a double-quoted string, and the single-quoted
counterpart staying inert.

* Item 35: make selftest-gate's own conclusion actually fail on aggregate has_failures

The precondition slice (fail-closed per-lane set comparison in
tools/aggregate_selftest_verdicts.ps1) already computed the aggregate
verdict correctly, but the job's own step ended in an unconditional exit 0
-- its conclusion could never actually fail, so adding "Aggregate self-test
verdicts" to branch protection's required checks would have been a false
gate (always green regardless of real failures).

Adds the missing "Enforce aggregate self-test verdict" step, mirroring the
already-proven per-lane "Enforce NDJSON failures for gated lanes" pattern.
Re-verified before adding: contract-uv/contract-uv-fail/uv-dl-fallback
(each intentionally simulates a failure/fallback scenario) have reported a
clean, non-has_failures verdict on every real run observed to date, so
gating on the aggregate does not turn them into permanent false blockers.

Also removes docs/open-questions.md's now-answered Item 35 question (the
maintainer made the branch-protection change) and updates CLAUDE.md's Item
35 entry to reflect the implemented gating step.

* Compact the four auto-loaded context docs to current-state-only content

CLAUDE.md, docs/agent-interconnect.md, docs/agent-lessons-learned.md, and
docs/agent-ndjson.md had each accumulated years of "how we found this out"
bug-hunt narrative inline with the load-bearing rules -- exactly what each
file's own already-stated house rule says to move out to
docs/agent-closed-backlog.md instead. This distills every entry to the
current-state rule/mechanism a future agent actually needs, moving detailed
discovery narratives (which review round caught a bug, which fix attempt was
wrong first, confirming commit/CI-run IDs) into a new "Interconnect Narrative
Archive" section of the closed backlog, and folding two now-fully-resolved
Active Backlog items (38, and the closed half of 42) into the closed backlog
proper.

The NDJSON row registry itself is verified byte-identical (331/331 row IDs
present, none added or removed) -- only the prose annotations around it were
compacted, per that file's own registry-not-narrative house rule.

Net effect on the four auto-loaded files (measured via tiktoken cl100k_base):
128,954 -> 54,575 tokens (-58%), 6,787 -> 3,253 lines (-52%).

* Close a step-level always() gap in publish_diag that could break Pages deploy

Job-level if: always() on publish_diag only guarantees the job starts
regardless of needs' outcomes -- it does not make every step inside the job
run regardless of an earlier step's own failure (GitHub Actions gives each
step an implicit if: success() unless it declares its own condition).

"Checkout repository" and "Prep site directories" (the step that actually
creates the _site/.nojekyll skeleton "Upload Pages artifact" needs later)
had no explicit if: at all. A genuine failure in either would have skipped
_site's creation entirely, so the deploy chain further down -- which already
correctly bypasses success()-chaining via its own event_name/outcome
conditions -- would fail for real (path doesn't exist) rather than just
degrade gracefully. Added if: always() to both, plus three more steps found
lacking it for consistency (Record iterate artifact status, Fetch
batch-check artifacts, Append job summary).

The widespread continue-on-error/exit-0 patterns in this file's OTHER jobs
are not actually what protects Pages publishing -- publish_diag's own
if: always() plus its needs: list already guarantees that independent of
whether those jobs are lenient with themselves. Documented in CLAUDE.md's
Item 35 entry so the distinction isn't re-litigated later.

* Address CodeRabbit review: !cancelled() over always(), guard empty prep outputs

Per CodeRabbit's review of the publish_diag step-level fix and GitHub's own
documented guidance: always() keeps a step running even through a workflow
cancellation, which risks hanging a step like Checkout mid-teardown until it
times out. Switched the five steps that fix added (Checkout repository, Prep
site directories, Record iterate artifact status, Fetch batch-check
artifacts, Append job summary) from always() to !cancelled() -- same
"run despite an earlier failure" property, but correctly stops on a genuine
cancellation instead.

Also closes a real gap the always()-ification itself introduced: if "Prep
site directories" fails before writing its ARTIFACTS output, the two
downstream steps that already always-run now hit Join-Path with an empty
path, which throws (confirmed directly) rather than degrading gracefully.
Both steps now fall back to a scratch directory in that case.

Plus two doc nits: reconciled CLAUDE.md's Item 35 lane inventory now that the
aggregate check can fail a merge for a non-required lane's real failure, and
fixed a source-count mismatch in the new Interconnect Narrative Archive
section.

* Revert selftest-gate hard-fail to advisory pending a real cache/uv fix

The "Enforce aggregate self-test verdict" step added in bc0a42a hard-failed
on its first two real activations (workflow runs 33288809538 and
33293648911), both on byte-identical failing rows in the cache
(self.exe.smokerun, exitCode 1) and uv (self.cascade.exec falling through
to embed instead of stopping at conda; self.exe.warnfix.venv_repair's
repair-install precondition never firing) lanes. Identical failure-detail
payloads across two separate runs hours apart rules out flake -- this is a
real, currently-open regression in the bootstrapper or its test scripts,
not a CI-mechanism bug, and neither run touched run_setup.bat or any
selfapps script, so it predates and is unrelated to this PR's own diff.

Because this gate is what first turned an already-non-gating lane's
failure into a repo-wide merge blocker, leaving it hard-failing would
block every PR until someone separately root-causes cascade.exec and
warnfix.venv_repair -- a real but out-of-scope investigation for this PR.
continue-on-error keeps the step's own red result visible in the PR
checks UI without failing the job; re-remove it once both are fixed and
the mechanism has re-soaked across all 8 lanes, not just the 3 originally
sampled. Documented in CLAUDE.md's Item 35 entry with the two repro run
IDs so a future loop doesn't need to re-derive them.

* Fix stale merge-blocking claim in CLAUDE.md Item 35 (CodeRabbit review)

The "DOES block a merge" wording was written before continue-on-error:
true was added to the enforcement step in this same PR, making it
describe a state the gate no longer produces. Reworded to distinguish
the designed end-state (blocking, once cache/uv are fixed and
continue-on-error is removed) from today's actual advisory behavior.

Also documented, as a separate open note, that four other publish_diag
steps this PR never touched (Package iterate logs archive, Mirror
iterate logs into site bundle, Normalize iterate artifact layout,
Publish diagnostics index -- all pre-existing always(), confirmed
absent from this PR's diff) share the same unguarded-empty-output
pattern the 2 fixed steps had before their fix. Fixing every consumer
across the ~20+ step job is a real, separate undertaking, deliberately
left out of this PR's scope (closing the reachability gap for the 5
steps this PR's diff touches).
