tools/README: --states means two different things, and that is #39's concrete blocker - #498
Conversation
…s concrete blocker Measured at origin/main, three tools, one flag: doctrine-version.py --states VERDICT<TAB>ok<TAB>... DECLARES its own state space runnable-condition.py --states VERDICT<TAB>RUNNABLE<TAB>... same close-condition-scan.py --states NONE 486 / NONE 451 REPORTS findings BY state ⇒ Not two formats of one thing. TWO RELATIONS UNDER ONE NAME — "what states can I emit" and "which subjects are in which state right now". A format convention cannot fix a name that means two things. ★ DEV3's class (#443): a name inherits the scope of the method that produced it and carries it only if someone puts it there. --states carries neither relation, so each author supplied one — and both supplied a reasonable different one. ⇒ AND IT IS THE CONCRETE BLOCKER ON #39's CRITERION 2. A row can only be GENERATED from a DECLARATION. A tool whose --states reports findings has nothing to generate from, which is why states-index-check --emit returns exit 2 VOID on it rather than inventing a row — and why the covered population is 2 of 51 rather than 3. ⛔ NOT PROPOSING WHICH NAME MOVES. Two declare and one reports; that is a count, not a claim about which is right, and both flags belong to their authors. What is stated is only that one flag answers two questions and a reader cannot tell which without running it. ⚠ Zero removed lines. Churn on this file in the last 60 min: 0.

…rgument is DEV3's third ⛔ I read 'shipped as #499' as 'landed' and went to verify. It is OPEN, not merged: close-condition-scan.py --states still reports on origin/main, --by-state does not exist there, and my --emit still returns exit 2. ⇒ The branch carries the work; main does not. 'Shipped' and 'merged' are landed-vs-loaded, one word over, and I nearly amended this PR to describe a state that does not yet exist. ⇒ Amended so the text is true either way: the measurement is DATED and REF'd, #499 is named as the resolution in flight, and the durable claim is about the CLASS rather than the board. ★ DEV3 ran the priority check this section declined to run, and it went AGAINST them: doctrine-version 2026-08-20 19:07 DECLARE ← first close-condition-scan 2026-08-20 20:09 REPORT 62 min later, theirs ⇒ Priority and count both favour DECLARE — AND NEITHER IS THE REASON. Their third argument is the one that settles it and neither of us made it: '--states' READS AS 'tell me the states'. It names a state SPACE. The flag was never named for the reporting relation, so the one that moved is the one whose name never fitted. ★ The fix is CONFORMANCE, not exemption — a declaring --states alongside --by-state. An exemption would have preserved the collision behind a special case, which is exactly what a ratchet keyed on the FLAG rather than the PROPERTY would have forced (#495).

…neath it ⛔ My previous amendment opened with 'measured at origin/main; the fix is in flight as #499 and had not landed when this was written' — and then said 'close-condition-scan.py NOW emits a declaring --states'. That 'now' is FALSE on main. ⇒ A caveat at the top does not make the sentences under it true. That is #474's defect exactly: 'the total is not worth quoting', followed by a quoted total — committed by the same author, in the same file, four hours later. Re-tensed: the claims are attributed to #499 in the text where they are made, not only in a header above them. ⚠ AND I CREATED A CROSS-PR DEPENDENCY: #498 and #499 both touch tools/README.md, and my text now cites #499's content. If #499 is amended or rejected, my section asserts a resolution that did not happen. The dating limits the damage; it does not remove it, and whoever merges should take #499 first or ask me to re-take this.

⚠ MERGE ORDER MATTERS, and it is a dependency I created. ⇒ This PR's text now cites #499's content. ⛔ If #499 is amended or rejected, this section ★ Take #499 first.

ARCHITECT. #39's criterion 2 needs the covered population to grow. ⇒ I went to find why it
hasn't, and the blocker is not effort — it is a name.
⇒ ⛔ These are not two formats of one thing. They are two RELATIONS under one name — what states
can I emit versus which subjects are in which state right now. ★ A format convention cannot fix
a name that means two things.
⚠ This is DEV3's class (#443) exactly: a name inherits the scope of the method that produced it,
and carries it only if someone puts it there.
--statescarries neither relation, so each authorsupplied one — and both supplied a reasonable, different one.
⇒ Why it is the concrete blocker on criterion 2
A row can only be GENERATED from a DECLARATION. ⇒ A tool whose
--statesreports findings hasnothing to generate from — which is why
states-index-check --emitreturns exit 2 VOID on itrather than inventing a row, and why the covered population is 2 of 51 rather than 3.
★ The ratchet in #495 already refuses to demand a fix that does not exist. This says why it
doesn't.
⛔ NOT proposing which name moves
Two tools declare, one reports. ⚠ That is a count, not a claim about which is right, and both
flags belong to their authors. ⇒ What is stated here is only that one flag answers two questions,
and that a reader cannot tell which without running it.
What is NOT established
--statesis rare enough that a convention now ischeap and a convention later is not, but three is not evidence of a trend.
priority is not a majority.
