 The Boatstack repository receives product/runtime changes through a generated pull request. Review the PR's `UPSTREAM.json`, tests, adapter diff, and context-size change; do not hand-edit generated output on `main`. `.github/workflows` is the exception: it is Boatstack's executable control plane, excluded from scheduled projection and changed only through a separate manually reviewed Boatstack PR.

The irreversible-operation guard is `PROPOSED`, not promoted: evaluate its deny corpus, safe corpus, latency, and workflow regressions against the unguarded baseline.
 - **Fail-closed controls need an available evaluator.** A linked worktree copied the safety hook but not its ignored helper, so the guard also denied its own repair command. Share only the verified runtime within the Git clone and hydrate local ignored state before judging the original event.

+- **Preconditions run before leases.** Wrong branch, stale base, or invalid diff state returns a recovery operation without creating a durable attempt. A rejected precondition cannot consume retry budget or leave an identity that collides with the corrected invocation.

 For an available version, create `chore/update-boatstack-v<version>` and download and checksum-verify the target helper before consulting the installed runtime. The target helper classifies hook fragments, generated locks, helper provenance, and marker-bounded interceptors. Exact installed state migrates automatically. Recoverable owned drift is fingerprinted and, interactively, offered as **Repair Boatstack-owned state and continue the update? [y/N]**; noninteractive updates stop with one `--repair` retry. Repair backs up the exact paths in Git-common state and remains in the same update PR. User-owned, mixed, malformed, symlinked, or product state stays blocked. Downgrades require both `--repair` and `--allow-downgrade`.
 
+Before a durable update attempt is created, Boatstack verifies the dedicated branch, base commit, repair classification, and current diff. Invalid workspace state consumes no retry budget. The update transaction then reuses one semantic ownership projection for admission, mutation, final verification, staging, and preview. Generated files must match their prepared bytes, host-hook files must preserve their non-Boatstack JSON, and `.cursorrules`, `CLAUDE.md`, and `GEMINI.md` must preserve everything outside their single Boatstack marker boundary.

 The update transaction is a durable atomic-local operation. It preserves repository configuration, adapters, integrations, and unrelated host settings, then runs `doctor`. After installation, `prepare-update-pr` verifies that every changed path is Boatstack-owned and atomically stores the exact non-empty publication package in Git-common runtime state. Show release and repair provenance, the exact generated diff, checksums, changed paths, integration state, rollout, and rollback.
 
 Use **Boatstack update ready** and exactly one action: Reply `o` to open update PR. Only the state-scoped `o` or compatible full reply authorizes `publish-update-pr` with that preview fingerprint. The publisher stages only the approved paths, reuses or creates the exact update commit, pushes normally, and reconciles the head branch before opening at most one PR. The PR body records release provenance, changed generated files, verification, rollout, and revert instructions. If a response is lost after GitHub accepted the request, the next invocation observes and returns the existing PR. If publication is unavailable, retain the prepared branch and provide one manual action. Never merge automatically.
