Intent

Ensure every rendered ship brief created by fm-brief.sh tells crewmates, immediately after branch creation and before tooling or tests, to install dependencies in the freshly cut worktree because gitignored .venv and node_modules environments are absent. The dependency bootstrap instruction must be unconditional shared SHIP heredoc text across no-mistakes, direct-PR, and local-only modes; the no-mistakes doctor instruction must become step 3; and the script header must document this setup behavior. Extend the existing colocated fm-brief behavior test to assert the full rendered dependency step in all three ship modes and the step-3 no-mistakes doctor line. Do not assert anything about scout briefs either way because scout dependency bootstrap is intentionally out of scope, not prohibited. Keep the change based on main, shellcheck-clean through bin/fm-lint.sh, and do not modify generated files.

What Changed

  • bin/fm-brief.sh now renders an unconditional dependency-install step in every ship brief (no-mistakes, direct-PR, and local-only), placed right after branch creation and before tooling, so crewmates restore gitignored environments like .venv and node_modules in a freshly cut worktree; the no-mistakes doctor instruction moves to step 3, and the script header documents the new setup behavior.
  • Fixed the rendering so direct-PR and local-only briefs no longer emit a stray blank line before # Rules when no doctor step is present, and extended tests/fm-brief.test.sh to assert the full dependency step across all three ship modes plus the step-3 doctor line (scout briefs are intentionally left unasserted).
  • Documented the ship-brief dependency-install step in docs/architecture.md.

Risk Assessment

✅ Low: A small, well-bounded change to one generated-brief template plus a colocated fixed-string test whose expectation byte-matches the emitted line in all three ship modes, with the prior round's blank-line fix applied exactly as directed and all remaining round-1 concerns explicitly ignored by the user.

Testing

Ran the extended colocated fm-brief behavior test (all 15 cases pass; full suite passed as baseline), then generated real briefs end-to-end in all three ship modes plus a scout brief and captured them as artifacts: every ship brief renders the unconditional dependency-install step 2 immediately after branch creation, the no-mistakes doctor step is step 3 with no stray blank line in the other modes, --help documents the behavior, and scout briefs are untouched. No screenshot evidence applies because the end-user surface is the generated markdown brief itself, captured verbatim.

# Task
{TASK}

# Herdr lifecycle declaration - NOT ENABLED
**HARD SAFETY GATE:** this scaffold cannot inspect the task text that replaces `{TASK}` later.
If the task will start, stop, delete, restart, profile, or otherwise drive Herdr lifecycle behavior, stop and regenerate the brief with `--herdr-lab` before dispatch.
Do not add Herdr lifecycle commands to this unguarded brief by hand.

# Setup
You are in a disposable git worktree of no-registry-proj, at a detached HEAD on a clean default branch.

**Verify isolation before anything else.** Run `pwd -P` and `git rev-parse --show-toplevel`; both must resolve to the disposable task worktree you were launched in, such as a treehouse pool path or an Orca-managed worktree, not the primary checkout firstmate operates from.
The path check is authoritative: `git rev-parse --git-dir` and `git rev-parse --git-common-dir` can help inspect the repo, but they do not prove you are outside the primary checkout.
If the top-level path is the primary checkout or not the worktree you were launched in, STOP - do not branch or commit here - append `blocked: launched in primary checkout, not an isolated worktree` to the status file and stop.

1. First action: create your branch: `git checkout -b fm/evid-nomistakes`
2. Install this worktree's dependencies before any tooling or tests: it was freshly cut and has no .venv/node_modules, so language servers and test runs are degraded until you do. Detect the stack and run the project's setup - Python (pyproject.toml/requirements*.txt): create a .venv and install (prefer `uv sync`, else `pip install -r requirements*.txt` plus any requirements-dev.txt); Node/TypeScript (package.json): `npm ci` (or the project's package manager). Prefer any setup command the README/AGENTS.md documents. Skip only if there's no dependency manifest.
3. Run `no-mistakes doctor`; if it reports the repo is not initialized here, run `no-mistakes init`.

# Rules
1. Never push to the default branch. Never merge a PR.
2. Stay inside this worktree; modify nothing outside it.
3. Use gh-axi for GitHub operations and chrome-devtools-axi for browser operations.
4. Report status by appending one line:
   `echo "{state}: {one short line}" >> '/tmp/fm-brief-evidence.qE7uoP/state/evid-nomistakes.status'`
   States: working, needs-decision, blocked, paused, done, failed.
   Each append wakes firstmate, so report sparingly: only phase changes a supervisor
   would act on (setup done, bug reproduced, fix implemented, validation passed) and the
   needs-decision/blocked/paused/done/failed states. No step-by-step FYI progress lines;
   firstmate reads your pane for that.
   Use `paused: {why}` - distinct from `blocked:` - ONLY when you are deliberately idling on a
   known external wait you expect to clear on its own (an upstream release, a rate-limit reset,
   a scheduled window): firstmate then leaves your idle pane alone and rechecks it on a long
   cadence instead of treating it as a possible wedge. Use `blocked:` when you are stuck and need help.
5. If you hit the same obstacle twice, append `blocked: {why}` and stop; firstmate will help.
6. If a decision belongs to a human (product choices, destructive actions, ask-user findings),
   append `needs-decision: {summary of options}` and stop. Firstmate will reply with the decision.
   When firstmate replies or a blocker clears and you resume, append `resolved: {how it was decided or unblocked}` (add the same `[key=<slug>]` if you opened it with one) so the decision or blocker is durably closed and does not keep resurfacing.
7. Never stop, restart, or update the shared `no-mistakes` daemon - it is one instance serving
   every lane/home, so restarting it kills other lanes' in-flight pipeline runs. On ANY no-mistakes
   daemon error, append `blocked: {the daemon error}` and stop; only firstmate manages the daemon.

# Project memory
If `AGENTS.md` or `CLAUDE.md` already exists, or if this task produced durable project-intrinsic knowledge, run `/Users/eugene/.no-mistakes/worktrees/815d1e47484d/01KXT21VZP6918FB4ET34J92PA/bin/fm-ensure-agents-md.sh .` in the worktree.
Record only project knowledge useful to almost every future session.
For anything the codebase already shows, prefer a pointer to the authoritative file, command, or doc over copying the detail.
If you touch a project `AGENTS.md` that lacks `## Maintaining this file`, add that short self-governance section from `/Users/eugene/.no-mistakes/worktrees/815d1e47484d/01KXT21VZP6918FB4ET34J92PA/bin/fm-ensure-agents-md.sh` in the same pass.
Keep it proportionate: skip `AGENTS.md` edits for trivial tasks that produced no durable project knowledge.

# Definition of done
The task is complete only when committed on your branch.
When you believe it is complete, append `done: {summary}` to the status file and stop.
Firstmate will then instruct you to run /no-mistakes to validate and ship a PR.

You drive no-mistakes by responding to its gates, not by implementing fixes.
Follow the guidance no-mistakes itself provides for the mechanics: it loads when you invoke /no-mistakes, and `no-mistakes axi run --help` plus the `help` lines in each `axi` response are authoritative and version-matched to the installed binary.
Do not hand-edit, commit, or fix findings yourself while a run is active - the pipeline applies every fix.

Two firstmate-specific rules layer on top of that guidance:
- ask-user findings are not yours to answer: escalate to firstmate (rule 6) and stop.
  When the decision comes back, feed it to the gate with `no-mistakes axi respond` and let the pipeline apply it - do not route the question to "the user" or implement the fix yourself.
- Avoid `--yes`: the captain, not you, owns the ask-user decisions it would silently auto-resolve.

After /no-mistakes reports CI green (the CI-ready return point - do not wait for it to keep monitoring in the background until merge), append `done: PR {url} checks green` and stop. You are finished.

Do NOT run /no-mistakes. The configured merge authority decides whether to merge the PR; firstmate relays the outcome.

Prefer any setup command the README/AGENTS.md documents. Skip only if there's no dependency manifest.

# Rules

# Definition of done
This project ships **local-only**: no remote, no PR, no pipeline.
The task is complete only when committed on your branch `fm/evid-localonly`. Do NOT push, do NOT open a PR, do NOT merge.
Keep your branch a clean fast-forward onto the current default branch - if `main` has advanced, rebase onto it so the eventual merge stays a fast-forward.
When it is implemented and committed, append `done: ready in branch fm/evid-localonly` to the status file and stop.
The configured merge authority approves the ready branch, then firstmate merges it into local `main` through the guarded fast-forward path.

# Setup
You are in a disposable git worktree of no-registry-proj, at a detached HEAD on a clean default branch.
This is a SCOUT task: the deliverable is a written report, not a PR.
The worktree is your laboratory - install, run, edit, and make scratch commits freely; all of it is discarded at teardown.
The report is the only thing that survives, so anything worth keeping must be in it.

# Rules
1. Never push to any remote and never open a PR.
2. Stay inside this worktree; the only files you may write outside it are the report and the status file below.
3. Use gh-axi for GitHub operations and chrome-devtools-axi for browser operations.
4. Report status by appending one line:
   `echo "{state}: {one short line}" >> '/tmp/fm-brief-evidence.qE7uoP/state/evid-scout.status'`

   treating it as a possible wedge. Use `blocked:` when you are stuck and need help.

6. If a decision belongs to a human (product choices, destructive actions),

   daemon error, append `blocked: {the daemon error}` and stop; only firstmate manages the daemon.

# Definition of done
Write your findings to `/tmp/fm-brief-evidence.qE7uoP/data/evid-scout/report.md`.
The report must stand alone: what you did, what you found, the evidence (commands run, output, file:line references), and what you recommend.
Before reporting done, read and follow `/Users/eugene/.no-mistakes/worktrees/815d1e47484d/01KXT21VZP6918FB4ET34J92PA/.agents/skills/decision-hold-lifecycle/SKILL.md` and pass its shared completion gate for the report and any visual review.
When the report is complete, append `done: {one-line conclusion}` to the status file and stop.
If your findings reveal work that should ship (e.g. you reproduced a bug and the fix is clear), say so in the report; firstmate may promote this task in place, and you would then receive mode-specific ship instructions as a follow-up message.

Pipeline

Updates from git push no-mistakes

✅ **intent** - passed

✅ No issues found.

✅ **Rebase** - passed

✅ No issues found.

🔧 **Review** - 4 issues found → auto-fixed ✅
  • ⚠️ bin/fm-brief.sh:344 - The generated dependency step tells crewmates to run pip install -r requirements*.txt. When a project has more than one matching file (e.g. requirements.txt and requirements-dev.txt), the shell expands the glob to pip install -r requirements.txt requirements-dev.txt; pip reads only the first as a requirements file and treats the second as a package name, so the install fails. The instruction already says "plus any requirements-dev.txt" separately, so the glob is both wrong and redundant - use pip install -r requirements.txt instead.
  • ℹ️ bin/fm-brief.sh:345 - $SETUP2 is empty for direct-PR and local-only modes, so those briefs now render two consecutive blank lines between the new step 2 and the # Rules heading (the bare $SETUP2 line plus the intentional separator). Previously $SETUP2 was appended to the end of the branch-creation line, so an empty value produced no stray line. Cosmetic in the rendered brief only; can be tidied by keeping the doctor line appended to step 2's line or by trimming trailing blanks.
  • ℹ️ bin/fm-brief.sh:344 - The dependency bootstrap is only in the ship heredoc; scout briefs (the branch exiting at line 269) get no equivalent instruction, even though scouts are the default classification for bug reproduction and diagnosis - work that needs a usable test environment in an equally fresh worktree. Understood to be an intentional scope boundary for this change, but the reproduction case makes it a real gap worth an explicit follow-up decision.
  • ℹ️ tests/fm-brief.test.sh:362 - The secondmate charter assertion was changed from "persistent domain supervisor" to "persistent second mate managed by the main firstmate". The old string does not appear anywhere in bin/fm-brief.sh at the base commit either, so this test was already failing on main and the change is a repair of pre-existing breakage rather than a consequence of this feature. Noting it so the unrelated scope is visible in review; the fix itself matches bin/fm-brief.sh:132 exactly.

🔧 Fix: drop stray blank line in direct-PR and local-only briefs
✅ Re-checked - no issues remain.

✅ **Test** - passed

  • command -v tmux >/dev/null || { echo "tmux is required for e2e tests" >&2; exit 1; }; tmux -V; rc=0; for t in tests/*.test.sh; do echo "== $t =="; bash "$t" || rc=1; done; exit "$rc"
  • Baseline: full tests/*.test.sh suite via the configured test command (ran successfully before this validation)
  • bash tests/fm-brief.test.sh — all 15 cases pass, including the new dependency setup renders for every ship mode case and the step-3 doctor assertion
  • Manual e2e: generated real briefs with FM_HOME=&lt;fixture&gt; bin/fm-brief.sh &lt;id&gt; &lt;proj&gt; for no-mistakes, direct-PR, and local-only projects plus a --scout brief, then inspected the rendered setup sections
  • Byte-level check (sed -n l) that direct-PR/local-only briefs render step 2 followed by exactly one blank line before # Rules (no stray blank line)
  • bin/fm-brief.sh --help | grep &#39;dependency installation&#39; — header documents the new setup behavior
  • git merge-base --is-ancestor bc1a21b HEAD — branch is based on the main tip
  • Confirmed scout brief contains no dependency-install step (intentionally out of scope)
