Closes sc-2361.

devkit review runs the configured pre-commit chain — deterministic gates, decisions gates and the AI reviewer fleet — against the working tree with no branch, commit, push or PR. Nothing in skills/ named it. grep -rn "devkit review" skills/ returned zero hits, and zero across templates/ and agents/ too; no commit on main ever added them.

An agent only learns a verb exists by reading skills/. So the lane was unreachable in practice, and agents discovered reviewer findings one full ship cycle at a time — the reporting run spent 11 devkit ship attempts on a single 10-file PR, 8 of them blocked by the AI stage, each paying the full reviewer fan-out plus a push-then-delete on origin.

What changed

Routing. skills/using-devkit/SKILL.md gains a devkit review row beside the existing --dry-gates row, a Rules bullet for the three-lane division, and one frontmatter clause. The clause matters: the description is the skill's only firing surface and enumerated git/maintenance triggers only, so without it a row about pre-ship review would never be read.

A mechanism, so this cannot recur. CommandMeta.agentFacing is now required. COMMANDS in cli/index.mts is annotated, so a new command that never classifies itself fails typecheck at its own registration line — classifying is part of adding a command, not a follow-up. cli/__tests__/command-skill-routing.test.mts then enforces what the type cannot: that true was followed through into skills/, and that false carries a notRoutedBecause a human can check.

The audit that forced. review was not the only one. Three further agent-facing verbs were unrouted and are now routed — base-status (using-devkit), baseline-status and prove-regression (skills/testing, phrased runner-agnostically). Eight verbs are classified internal with written justifications: hook shims, wired package scripts, maintainer-only, and upgrade slices.

What the routing row deliberately does not claim

Three corrections to the story's premise, each verified in source, because a row that overpromises is worse than no row:

  • Review does not run the completeness judge. .husky/pre-commit:198 gates it on DEVKIT_RUN_MODE != "review", and the comment at :190 says why — completeness is a commit gate, not part of a range review. Sentry is excluded too. The row says so, because a green review followed by a completeness block would otherwise read as the tooling contradicting itself. Two of the reporting run's eight blocks were completeness, so this lane would not have caught them.
  • Review does not warm ship's cache. Its persistent store is checkout-external (cli/lib/ship/review/cache/root.mts); ship reads the repo's .devkit/review-cache.json. The row states that ship re-pays every judge.
  • Review is early signal, never a ship guarantee. It covers merge-base..HEAD plus the whole dirty snapshot where ship covers only briefed paths. This restates the sc-2346 rejection in ship-gates-converge-not-restart.md:44 as guidance rather than re-litigating it.

Two lanes are deliberately not named. Ship's gate-failure footer is untouched: ship-gates-converge-not-restart names commit-with-gate-capture.sh literally in its Scope, and review earns a blocked --resume nothing. And on a non-protected branch a plain git commit already runs the same fleet on the same cache salt family, so the Rules bullet sends agents there first and scopes review to the protected-branch / cannot-commit case.

Scope cut from the story

  • The gate-failure footer AC — see above.
  • Re-scoping sc-2346: already resolved. --dry-gates shipped as 77308735 / feat(ship): add deterministic dry-gates rehearsal (sc-2346) #523 and is routed at SKILL.md:40.
  • The proposed --deterministic-only flag on devkit review — explicitly rejected in the decision log; --dry-gates covers the fast inner loop.

Testing

54 tests in the new suite. A full CLI-suite run passed 2909/2909 on an earlier base; on this base the 8 suites covering the touched surface pass 186/186, and CI runs the rest.

Every guard was verified to fail when its target is broken, then reverted. The instructive one: replacing the routing matcher with the naive \b<verb>\b form the design rejected left all 14 gate assertions green while the gate became meaningless. A healthy tree never exercises this gate's own logic — all 22 verbs either match or are exempt — so the suite unit-tests the predicate directly, with boundary cases pinning that a backticked bare `guard-branch` is not routing (the reason it is classified internal), that devkit review-all does not satisfy review, and that a line-wrapped devkit\nreview does not count.

diffRegistry gets its own units because a rename moves both sides together, so the real tree cannot produce a divergence to detect. The verb-collision guard is separate for the same reason: two modules claiming one meta.name would otherwise have a classification silently dropped with the dispatch check none the wiser.

Notes

  • A decision note is recorded under the existing review-gate-in-chain axis, not a new one.
  • .claude/, .cursor/ and .devkit/skills-manifest.json are devkit sync-skills output and are included so doctor stays clean.
  • The qavis advisory did not block (no UI-affecting change), so nothing was bypassed. The gate log carries no SKIP or BYPASSED line: all 11 reviewers, the decisions gates and the deterministic chain passed on their own.

Unrelated-looking line in the diff, explained: cli/commands/init.mts sat exactly at its shrink-only ceiling, so adding one agentFacing field tripped guard-size. Rather than override it, the redundant one-line structureAvailableFor wrapper is inlined — the file already bypassed it at one of four call sites, so all four now read identically. On this base the file is 1139, inside its cap.

Allowlist entry, explained: guard-dup blocked on reconcile (cli/commands/reconcile.mts) vs reconcilePath (cli/lib/reconcile.mts) at c=0.8342. I read both ranges: the first is the CLI entrypoint (flags, git-top-level assert, manifest load, render), the second decides restore/delete/warn for one path from upstream/worktree/index blobs. No shared logic — the matcher scored shared reconcile-domain vocabulary and a common guarded-early-return shape. It is a pre-existing latent pair that surfaced only because the one-line agentFacing field put the commands file into the staged set, so it is approved via the gate's own documented path with that reasoning recorded, not overridden.

Six bugs the local gate chain and the reviewer fleet caught in this PR's own test. Committing on a feature branch runs the same reviewer fleet this PR documents. correctness-reviewer returned findings across six ship attempts, every one of them a true defect in my own work:

  • Four false positives in the routing predicate, all the same class: devkit review.md, devkit review/guide, devkit ship\reship.sh and devkit review/.hidden each counted as routing, because ., / and \ are not word characters. I extended a blocklist four times before accepting that enumeration never converges. The shipped predicate is an allowlist of what may FOLLOW a verb — end of string, whitespace, or closing punctuation, plus a period not followed by non-space — which closes the class by construction and satisfies every finding in both directions.
  • The registry cross-check compared devkit --help against meta.name, two views of one value. Rename meta.name to inspect while COMMANDS still keys the module under review and both agree, leaving devkit inspect unreachable and devkit review unclaimed with nothing to compare. It now parses the literal COMMANDS keys from cli/index.mts — the only witness independent of meta — and checks the help surface separately.
  • registeredVerbs() used raw spawnSync with no deadline, so a stalled command-module import during devkit --help would wedge the Vitest worker instead of failing in bounded time. It now uses testSpawnSync.

A seventh finding was against the skill itself: the frontmatter named only the protected-branch trigger, while the row and Rules bullet document two. An agent holding uncommittable work on a feature branch would never have loaded the skill — this story's exact failure mode, reproduced inside its own fix. All have regression cases.

On dist/. It is tracked and expected to match source per-commit, so the rebuilt output is included — without it a consumer would install the version without the routing, which is exactly the failure this story is about. Four other dist/ files are pre-existing drift, where commits on main changed their source without rebuilding; they are deliberately excluded, since clearing another change's debt here would only obscure this diff.

Supersedes #584, which was opened before eight commits landed on main and could no longer be updated in place: GitHub could not auto-sync its branch (real conflicts), and devkit ship --pr requires the PR's baseRefOid to equal current origin/main, which only a branch sync advances. This PR is the same work reconciled onto current main, plus the two fixes above.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR classifies CLI commands for agent routing, adds command-to-skill coverage tests, updates testing and Devkit usage guidance, and refreshes related manifests, baselines, decision records, and allowlists.

Changes

Agent command routing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Command routing metadata
cli/lib/help/render.mts, cli/commands/*
CommandMeta now requires agentFacing. Non-agent-facing commands provide notRoutedBecause. The init command inlines its structure checks.
Command and skill routing validation
cli/__tests__/command-skill-routing.test.mts
New tests compare command declarations, loaded metadata, and devkit --help. They verify unique verbs, routing coverage, exclusion reasons, registry differences, and strict command matching.
Agent guidance and generated records
.claude/skills/*, .cursor/skills/*, skills/*, .devkit/*, docs/decisions/review-gate-in-chain.md, .co-occurrence-allowlist.json
Skills document baseline checks, regression proof, review routing, and command lane selection. Generated hashes, timestamps, baselines, decision records, and allowlist data are updated.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to dd6b7

This change adds command-routing and regression-testing guidance, but the documented regression workflow may encourage execution of untrusted commands without a safety warning, while base-status guidance misstates its default fetch behavior. These documentation defects should be corrected before merge.

- Does a bug fix have a regression test that would have caught the original bug? Asserting that it
*would* have is cheap and usually wrong. When the claim has to hold up — a reported regression, a
fix someone will re-litigate — `devkit prove-regression --red <ref> --green <ref> -- <test command>`
runs the same argv at both refs in two disposable clones and records the exits. Land a test-only
red commit first, then the fix. It captures execution evidence; it does not prove the red failure
had the cause you claim, so read the retained red output before publishing it.

… verb fail typecheck (sc-2361)

Closes sc-2361.

`devkit review` runs the configured pre-commit chain — deterministic gates, decisions gates and the AI reviewer fleet — against the working tree with no branch, commit, push or PR. Nothing in `skills/` named it. `grep -rn "devkit review" skills/` returned zero hits, and zero across `templates/` and `agents/` too; no commit on `main` ever added them.

An agent only learns a verb exists by reading `skills/`. So the lane was unreachable in practice, and agents discovered reviewer findings one full ship cycle at a time — the reporting run spent 11 `devkit ship` attempts on a single 10-file PR, 8 of them blocked by the AI stage, each paying the full reviewer fan-out plus a push-then-delete on origin.

**Routing.** `skills/using-devkit/SKILL.md` gains a `devkit review` row beside the existing `--dry-gates` row, a Rules bullet for the three-lane division, and one frontmatter clause. The clause matters: the description is the skill's only firing surface and enumerated git/maintenance triggers only, so without it a row about pre-ship review would never be read.

**A mechanism, so this cannot recur.** `CommandMeta.agentFacing` is now required. `COMMANDS` in `cli/index.mts` is annotated, so a new command that never classifies itself fails `typecheck` at its own registration line — classifying is part of adding a command, not a follow-up. `cli/__tests__/command-skill-routing.test.mts` then enforces what the type cannot: that `true` was followed through into `skills/`, and that `false` carries a `notRoutedBecause` a human can check.

**The audit that forced.** `review` was not the only one. Three further agent-facing verbs were unrouted and are now routed — `base-status` (using-devkit), `baseline-status` and `prove-regression` (`skills/testing`, phrased runner-agnostically). Eight verbs are classified internal with written justifications: hook shims, wired package scripts, maintainer-only, and `upgrade` slices.

Three corrections to the story's premise, each verified in source, because a row that overpromises is worse than no row:

- **Review does not run the completeness judge.** `.husky/pre-commit:198` gates it on `DEVKIT_RUN_MODE != "review"`, and the comment at :190 says why — completeness is a commit gate, not part of a range review.

**Unrelated-looking line in the diff, explained:** `cli/commands/init.mts` sat exactly at its shrink-only ceiling, so adding one `agentFacing` field tripped `guard-size`. Rather than override it, the redundant one-line `structureAvailableFor` wrapper is inlined — the file already bypassed it at one of four call sites, so all four now read identically.

It is a pre-existing latent pair that surfaced only because the one-line `agentFacing` field put the commands file into the staged set, so it is approved via the gate's own documented path with that reasoning recorded, not overridden.

**Two bugs the local gate chain caught in this PR's own test.** Committing on a feature branch runs the same reviewer fleet this PR documents, and correctness-reviewer returned two findings against `command-skill-routing.test.mts`. Both were real and both are fixed here:

- `.` is not a word character, so the original right boundary `(?![\w-])` let `See devkit review.md for details` satisfy the gate for `review` — a filename routing nobody. The boundary is now `(?![\w-]|\.\w)`, which still accepts a verb ending a sentence.
- The registry cross-check compared `devkit --help` against `meta.name`, which are two views of one value. Rename `meta.name` to `inspect` while `COMMANDS` still keys the module under `review` and both views agree, leaving `devkit inspect` unreachable and `devkit review` unclaimed with nothing to compare. It now parses the literal `COMMANDS` keys from `cli/index.mts` — the only witness independent of `meta` — and checks the help surface separately. That rename now reports `unreachable: ['inspect'], unclaimed: ['review']`; before, it produced no dispatch failure at all.

Both have regression cases.

**On `dist/`.** It is tracked and expected to match source per-commit, so the rebuilt output is included — without it a consumer would install the version *without* the routing, which is exactly the failure this story is about. Four other `dist/` files are pre-existing drift, where commits on `main` changed their source without rebuilding; they are deliberately excluded, since clearing another change's debt here would only obscure this diff.

**Supersedes #584**, which was opened before eight commits landed on `main` and could no longer be updated in place: GitHub could not auto-sync its branch (real conflicts), and `devkit ship --pr` requires the PR's `baseRefOid` to equal current `origin/main`, which only a branch sync advances.
