feat(cli,sdk): land the agent-UX stack — same-command corrections, terminal no-ops, bounded pm next, lean refusals, ranking policy - #1638
This PR now lands the whole stacked agent-UX tranche on main in one CI cycle. It contains every commit of #1635 and #1637, both of which were reviewed on their own PRs, plus the pm next ranking-policy change (GH-1618) and the fixes from four CodeRabbit review rounds. GitHub marks #1635 and #1637 merged when this lands. The individual descriptions on those PRs stay as the detailed record.
Tranche 1 — same-command corrections and bounded receipts (from #1635)
Lean linked-test receipts for quiet successes (pm-covpax). They keep mismatch_detected and trusted, and the hint no longer tells callers to rerun, because a rerun repeats mutating flags.
Dash-leading values in unknown-option recovery (pm-stq61b) and the text-refusal overflow ladder (pm-4oc353).
New defect found in review, pm-8xgg7i:pm close cleared assignee but left claim_principal, so closed claimed items kept an active owner. Closure now clears both, and the five affected tracker items were released through the CLI.
Registry advisories GHSA-mrwp-f3q8-3g9p (follow-redirects) and GHSA-g3hv-75wg-m249 (minimatch) are cleared through pnpm-workspace.yaml overrides (pm-irviv0). This turns main's static gate green again. The recorded negative control reproduces the failure on the pre-fix commit and checks both advisory ids.
The ready queue is ordered under a declared policy: context.next_ranking_policy / NextOptions.rankingPolicy. The default is priority_floor, so priority tiers bound relevance and an hourly automation log can no longer outrank ready P0 work. weighted keeps the blended order.
filters.ranking_policy and the recommendation reasons disclose any disagreement between policy and relevance.
The pure ranking helpers live in src/sdk/query/next-ranking-policy.ts, so the published ./sdk/query surface is unchanged. The refusal for an unknown policy stays in next.ts, so the error catalog names the real command.
Follow-ups filed, not in this PR
pm-kjoudp: recovery commands rendered on Windows are not paste-safe in PowerShell ($(...) and backticks expand inside the CommandLineToArgvW double quotes). This needs one shell-dialect decision across all 41 call sites of quoteCommandArg.
Validation
Full static chain run locally on this head (everything in pnpm quality:static except mutation testing): 0 failures. This covers dependency advisories, docstrings, exports, ESLint, duplicates, contracts / error-catalog / capability-surface / SDK-surface snapshots, the package-boundary, grammar, flag and refusal gates, and the tracker-context-quality, graph-composition and record-integrity assurance runs.
The affected suites pass locally. Every behavioural fix has a regression test that fails against the previous source; the negative controls are recorded in the tracker.
CHANGELOG.md is regenerated from closed items, with no hand edits.
…-unset
Read refusals now offer a same-command replay for every equivalent
completeness spelling, derived from runtime contracts instead of a
hand-maintained pair list (GH-1626). CliFlagContract gains an optional
`values` domain, declared on get/context/plan --depth, and
resolveReadCompletenessControls joins it with each read-output surface's
projection modes. `get --brief` replays as `--depth brief`, `list --depth
brief` as `--brief`, `--depth standard` drops to the default, and aliased
reads replay on their noun-first path. A command without an equivalent lists
its own controls instead of pointing at other commands.
`--unset` on create, update and update many accepts comma-separated field
lists (GH-1633). Each part is validated and refused by name. The split is
unambiguous because schema add-field now refuses comma keys and flags; before
this, it registered `foo,bar` and advertised an unusable `--foo,bar`.
`update many --unset <unknown>` used to report no_effect in both dry run and
apply. It now refuses before planning, as `update` does.
…lues
Selective linked-test runs (`--match`, `--only-index`, `--only-last`) now
list only the selected tests. `count` and `selection` keep the full picture,
and `tests_omitted` names `pm test <id> --list` as the restore path. The
receipt no longer repeats the selection as a warning string. A 58-test
--only-last receipt drops from 8,662 to 2,212 bytes in TOON and from 18,826
to 2,695 in JSON (GH-1630).
Unknown-option recovery no longer drops a quoted value that starts with
`--`, such as a close reason or a comment. It passes the value after a `--`
separator when only options follow. Otherwise it explains the parse instead
of advertising a lossy retry (pm-stq61b).
The native read-surface tables move into a dependency-free module, so
completeness recovery stays off the formatter import path and `pm --version`
again works without installed dependencies. The `--unset` help is shortened
to fit the zero-headroom help-token ratchet. All four items are closed and
the changelog is regenerated.
Under --lean, a linked-test run that passed with no context mismatch and no
failure category now reports execution_context as its modes, trust reason
and 'rerun without --lean' restore path, and omits the all-zero
failure_categories. A 58-test --only-last run's lean receipt drops from 2,178
to 865 bytes in TOON and from 2,645 to 1,166 in JSON. Failures, skips, non-zero
categories, mismatches and default output keep the full sandbox provenance
(pm-covpax).
The JSON diagnostic projection walks the declared ladder, but text refusals
jumped from the full rendering straight to action-only. A refusal whose
recovery bundle echoed a long attempted command therefore lost its What
happened line, the only sentence saying what was wrong. Text refusals now
drop the explanation, then extra collection entries, then the argv echo,
and finally bound an oversized detail. Each stage appends a notice
pointing to --json. Only text that still overflows falls through to the
action-only projection, and short refusals are unchanged.
The strict create refusal for a cleared required option now states the
actual rule: --unset cannot satisfy a required scalar option, while
repeatable options accept an explicit --clear-* empty set (pm-4oc353).
pm-m6ig79 shipped in #1634. Its final PR run used 15 CI jobs (23 across
all PR workflows), all green, with an uncontended critical path of about
15 minutes. pm-covpax gains the escape class and gate evidence that the
defect evidence gate requires, including the negative control that was
actually run.
Merging origin/main (PR #1629) into this branch produced one field-aware
item merge on the pm-7zs0 reminder (expected_result taken from main).
This stages the durable receipt sidecar and records the reconciled
history stream so the receipt is settled rather than pending.
The merged Unreleased block lacked the pm-m6ig79 and pm-4oc353 entries
closed on this branch after the last generation, so changelog:pm:check
refused. Regenerated from closed tracker items; no hand edits.
… text refusal ladder
The hosted coverage gate reported error-guidance.ts lines 744 and 790
uncovered after #1635's ladder landed: a short suggested_retry kept by the
compact recovery stage, and the return of the full rendering when no stage
fits (which the hard ceiling then projects to action-only). Both stages now
have a regression test; the spec stays sandbox-free.
…two new registry advisories
GHSA-mrwp-f3q8-3g9p (follow-redirects 1.16.0-1.16.1, high) and
GHSA-g3hv-75wg-m249 (minimatch <11.0.1, moderate) were published on
2026-10-30 and the registry feed reported them from the next CI run on
main, so the dependency advisory gate refused every PR and the scheduled
release path. follow-redirects is reached only through the CodSpeed
benchmark plugin's Axios client and minimatch only through ESLint; both
are development dependencies.
The pnpm overrides now require follow-redirects >=1.16.2 and minimatch
>=11.0.1 <12; the lock resolves 1.16.2 and 11.0.3 and nothing else
changes. minimatch 11 keeps dual CJS/ESM exports, so the full eslint run
passes. Both releases clear pnpm's one-day minimum release age without
an exclusion. The advisory gate, cooldown, runtime-lock and bundle
integrity checks pass locally. Tracked and closed as pm-irviv0; the
dependency security guide records the repair and the gate's misleading
catch-all refusal message. Changelog regenerated.
…he complexity ceiling
The hosted static gate reported projectLinkedTestEvidence at CodeFactor
complexity 18 against the ceiling of 16 after the quiet-success receipt
landed. The shared execution-context resolution and the quiet-success
predicate are now named helpers; behaviour and the pm-covpax receipts are
unchanged (output and test-command suites pass).
The hosted defect evidence gate refused the closed advisory item for a
missing escape class and gate evidence. The item now records
escape_class scanner_finding and a gate_strengthened disposition on the
development-dependency-security gate, with a runnable negative control
that asserts the minimatch version resolved under eslint and the
follow-redirects version resolved under the CodSpeed plugin's Axios are at
or above the patched releases. The gate passes locally with zero findings.
…in restore_with, and cover the refusal ladder branches
Review findings on #1635:
- A legacy field key that was registered with a comma (before schema
add-field refused them) could no longer be cleared, because every --unset
entry was split on commas first. parseCommandUnsetTargets and the
update-many planner now keep an entry whole when it resolves as a whole
and split only unresolved entries.
- A selective linked-test receipt's tests_omitted.restore_with named
'pm test <id> --list' even when the run used an explicit tracker root, so
the restore read would have targeted the current workspace. The receipt
now appends --pm-path <root> (quoted when needed) from the invocation.
- The TESTING guide states that tests_omitted appears only when a
selection skipped at least one test.
- The hosted coverage gate still reported three uncovered branches in the
text refusal ladder: next_best_command retained by the compact recovery
stage, an echo-only bundle dropped entirely, and no dash-leading value
retry when a positional follows the value. Each has a regression test.
…over the remaining review branches
The graph-composition assurance refused the branch at the prose-edge-gaps
ceiling (1,244 against 1,233): the closeout comments on pm-gh1633,
pm-irviv0, pm-m6ig79 and pm-stq61b name twelve lineage items without a
typed edge. Those pairs now carry related edges, which are not
ceiling-bound, and the measurement is back at the ceiling.
The coverage gate's last three partial branches have tests: a dash-leading
value with no invocation argv or absent from it, the restore_with tracker
path flag (absent, blank, plain, quoted) and the resolve-first --unset
expansion without a default resolver. Changelog regenerated.
…al state
An update naming the close status was routed to the closure writer without
checking whether the item was already closed. With force, the writer
re-stamped closed_at and the store stamped updated_at on every retry, so a
repeated identical closure moved the recorded closure time (GH-1628); the
same payload on an open item was a no-op. commitItemMutations reuses
update(), so transactions shared the defect.
routeCloseStatusUpdate now reads the stored item first. When the requested
close status, trimmed reason and completed_at already describe it, the
remaining fields take the ordinary skipNoop update path and the result
reports terminal_state_unchanged; a bare identical update returns no
changed fields without --force. A different reason is still a repeat
closure behind the existing force gate. The helpers live in
repeated-terminal-state.ts to keep update.ts under the line ceiling.
Regression tests cover the forced identical update, the unforced identical
update with a padded reason, other fields applied without re-stamping
closed_at, the preserved repeat-closure route, and a mixed-batch
commitItemMutations retry; three of the four update tests fail without the
fix.
…ncode null columns by position
pm next reported filters.token_budget 640 while nothing enforced it, and
--token-budget replaced the universal default ceiling instead of bounding
the selection beside it, so the complete response (9,148 bytes on this
tracker) carried no cost receipt at all (GH-1627). The TOON codec lost the
compact table for ready and containers because omitting one all-null
column emitted the full fifteen-name column_order list, so those sections
fell back to escaped tag JSON.
--token-budget is no longer a read-output cost alias for next; the
universal default ceiling keeps binding and a requested selection budget
audits the complete envelope, so read_output reports budget_source default,
budget_tokens and estimated_tokens beside truncation.ready_budget unless an
enforced intent receipt already discloses the cost. filters.token_budget is
the requested selection ceiling or null. PmTableCellEncoding records
omitted null columns as null_column_index and decoders still accept the
legacy column_order.
Measured on the real tracker: pm next --limit 5 drops from 9,148 to 8,718
bytes and from 182 to 76 escaped-quote sequences, every section
list-encodes tags, and --token-budget 640 --json carries the receipt
(budget 6000, estimated 4119). The contracts snapshot drops the stale
--output-budget alias on next.
… fields
Refusals printed a single-line message twice (headline and What happened;
title and detail in JSON), kept the generic requirement, rationale and
pm --help examples under --lean, and echoed the caller's own argv, so a
lean text refusal was larger than the default one (813 against 798 bytes
for a claim conflict). The holder of a claimed item existed only inside
the sentence (GH-1610).
The SDK declares the constant boilerplate once (PM_GENERIC_REFUSAL_GUIDANCE,
PM_RECOVERY_ECHO_FIELDS, isGenericRefusal*, projectLeanRecoveryPayload),
and both lean projections consume it: lean text keeps the headline, next
steps, a specific requirement or rationale, verifier findings and specific
recovery; lean JSON drops generic required/examples and the recovery echo
on top of title/why. A single-line message is no longer repeated under
What happened in any mode. already_claimed_by carries item_id, claimed_by,
claimed_at (latest assignee change in history) and claim_source
(claim|assignment) through PmCliErrorContext, the JSON envelope and the
classification; text renders Held by: <holder> (<source> since <time>).
resolveItemOwnershipConflict is public for packages.
Claim conflict: text 798 to 719 bytes, lean text 813 to 494, lean JSON 968
to 648; JSON grows by the typed holder fields. A property test over six
refusal codes asserts lean is never larger than default and that no
constant line is shared by every lean output.
…ence
Each item records its reproduction, the before/after measurement, the
negative control and the gates that ran, carries escape class and gate
evidence for the defect evidence gate, and links its files, docs and a
linked test that passed. docs/COMMANDS.md documents the terminal-state
receipt, the two next budgets and the lean refusal contract. The SDK
surface snapshot acknowledges the NextResult, PmTableCellEncoding and
PmCliErrorContext changes and the new exports. Changelog regenerated.
…a priority floor by default
pm next promised the highest-priority ready item but ordered the ready
queue by a blended relevance score in which priority carried about 11% of
the weight while recency, activity_density and knowledge_density, all
raised by comment_add events regardless of author, carried about 27%. An
append-only automation log that gains a comment every hour could therefore
outrank ready P0 work, and nothing disclosed or configured the order
(GH-1618).
NextOptions.rankingPolicy and the context.next_ranking_policy setting
(pm config project set context_next_ranking_policy <policy>) select the
ready-queue policy. priority_floor, the default, resumes in-progress work
first, then orders by priority tier and lets the relevance score order
items only within a tier; it reorders only the built-in weighted model, so
a project's own context_relevance scorer keeps its order. weighted keeps
the blended order. filters.ranking_policy discloses the policy on every
transport, the recommendation reasons name a policy/score disagreement
(priority floor (relevance rank N) or relevance over pN ready work), and
an unknown policy refuses as invalid_argument_value with the accepted
values.
On this tracker the floor moves a churned P2 chore (baseline rank 38)
below every P1 item. Tests seed a P2 log with twelve comments beside a P1
and a P0 and assert the floor, the weighted order and its reason, the
in-progress resume contract, the setting, the SDK override and the
refusal; three of the four fail without the fix. The agent-task token
baseline moves by the ten tokens the new filters field costs on the next
step; the SDK surface snapshot and the error-code catalog record the
additions.
Records the scorer measurement, the real-tracker before/after under both
policies, the negative control and the gates that ran, with escape class
and gate evidence for the defect evidence gate. Changelog regenerated.

Keep cleanup after the subshell so it still runs when worktree creation
succeeds.

Review comments at @src/core/config/nested-settings.ts:
- Line 62: Update the `priority_floor` description in the settings summary to
clarify that its priority floor applies only to the built-in scorer; extension
scorers such as `context_relevance` retain their own ordering and may rank
lower-priority work above ready P0 work. Leave the `weighted` description
unchanged.
Review comments at @src/core/store/settings-validator.ts:
- Line 617: Update the configuration write path to reject writes when
settings_read_invalid_schema is present, rather than persisting default settings
after schema validation fails. Preserve the existing behavior for valid settings
and malformed-JSON handling.
Review comments at @src/sdk/lifecycle/repeated-terminal-state.ts:
- Around line 98-101: Update describesCurrentTerminalState to resolve
options.completedAt to the canonical stored form before comparing it with
metadata.completed_at, treating resolution failures as non-matches. Add a
regression case for a forced retry using a non-canonical equivalent completion
time and verify closed_at remains unchanged.
Review comments at @src/types.ts:
- Line 1197: Make next_ranking_policy optional on the public ContextSettings
input type so object literals can omit it; preserve a required field on the
normalized settings type used by internal readers such as src/sdk/query/next.ts.

Summary
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added configurable pm next ranking policies: priority_floor by default and an optional weighted alternative, with explanations when rankings differ.
Compact output now preserves omitted null-only columns while using less space.
Bug Fixes
pm next --token-budget now limits selection while the complete response remains subject to the universal output budget.
Repeated updates matching an item’s existing closed state no longer change its timestamps or history unless other fields change.
Ownership conflict messages now include structured details about who holds the item and how it was assigned or claimed.
Lean error output retains actionable details while omitting generic guidance. Repeated --unset options are handled separately.
Documentation
Clarified ranking, output-budget, lean-error, and close-status behavior.
The PR updates pm next ranking and output contracts, lean refusal rendering and claim-conflict context, repeated terminal-state updates, --unset semantics, linked-test path resolution, and dependency-security records.
Changes: Next ranking and output
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Ranking policy and next output src/core/..., src/sdk/query/..., src/sdk/read-output*, sdk/public-surface.json, tests/unit/commands/query/...
priority_floor becomes the default ranking policy, with weighted available as an alternative. pm next reports the selected policy, applies selection budgets, audits the complete response, and preserves null-column positions during compact encoding.
Lean output removes generic guidance and invocation echoes while retaining specific recovery and rationale. Claim conflicts expose holder, source, timestamp, and item ID fields.
Documentation and public contracts docs/AGENT_GUIDE.md, docs/AGENT_UX_CONTRACTS.md, docs/COMMANDS.md, sdk/public-surface.json
The refusal and ownership contracts document typed holder evidence and unknown origin handling.

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 19120
The change delivers the ranking, refusal and terminal-update improvements as described. Before merging, protect existing settings from being overwritten when a settings file contains an invalid ranking policy, and make the new settings field optional for SDK consumers. The other findings are small corrections to forced-close timestamp handling, a helper's type constraint, documentation and tracker records.

Explanation
The title names the stacked agent-UX tranche and lists the main areas it covers: same-command corrections, terminal no-ops, bounded pm next, lean refusals, and ranking policy. The raw summary confirms these changes are present across CLI, SDK, docs, and tests. The title is long at 130 characters and lists several areas. It is therefore broad, but it is related to the main change and does not describe anything absent from the changeset.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description is directly related to the changeset. It explains the tranches that land, maps each tranche to GH issues and PRs, and lists the ranking-policy change, terminal no-op handling, bounded pm next output, lean refusals, dependency override fixes, and validation. The summary of changed files matches these claims.

Explanation
The PR summary supports the coding and regression-test objectives for [#1626], [#1633], [#1630], [#1628], [#1627], [#1610], and [#1618]. It reports completeness replay corrections, repeatable comma-list --unset, bounded selective receipts, terminal no-ops, whole-response pm next budgeting with positional null-column encoding, lean refusals with typed claim data, and priority_floor ranking with weighted as an option. For [#1636], the summary supports pnpm overrides, retained negative-control checks, and a local static run, but the run excludes mutation testing and the PR does not establish fresh complete zero-positive evidence on an immutable head or the full acceptance validation. The ignored generated catalog file is not used as evidence.
Resolution
For [#1636], provide reviewable evidence from the immutable reviewed head for complete fresh zero-positive advisory results bound to the exact manifests and lockfile, the full static gate including relevant mutation and benchmark-tool compatibility checks, and retained independent-feed negative-control evidence. The current evidence does not establish these criteria.

Adds a configurable and disclosed ranking policy to pm next: the default priority floor prevents relevance/activity churn from outranking higher-priority ready work while preserving in-progress resumption, and the weighted mode retains the prior blended ordering. The implementation threads policy resolution through project settings and SDK options, limits reordering to the built-in scorer, exposes ranking explanations and structured validation errors, and updates tests, contracts, documentation, and baselines.

Introduces a declared, configurable ranking policy for the pm next ready queue, with priority_floor as the default and weighted as the compatibility mode.
Adds policy resolution from the SDK option, project setting, or default, including validation and structured refusal for unknown values.
Applies the priority floor only to the built-in weighted relevance model, prioritizing in-progress work, then priority tiers, then relevance rank.
Propagates the policy through settings, SDK types, CLI/MCP output filters, configuration aliases, and generated contract surfaces.

src/sdk/lifecycle/repeated-terminal-state.ts:128-134 Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win
Check the status option policy before the close route.
routeCloseStatusUpdate returns from applyRepeatedTerminalStateUpdate or closeRoutedItem without calling enforceUpdateOptionsByType. That check runs only inside applyPriorityTypeAndOptions, which the close route does not reach. A type that disables status therefore still accepts a close, including the identical-state branch. Run the policy check in the route, after the item's type is resolved and before any close branch. Resolve the type from --type when it is given, otherwise from the stored item. Add the two registry inputs the check needs to the route context.
Suggested fix
export interface CloseRouteContext {
...
/** Item type registry used to locate the item document. */
typeRegistry: ReturnType<typeof resolveItemTypeRegistry>;
+ /** Runtime field registry used by the update option policy check. */+ runtimeFieldRegistry: RuntimeFieldRegistry;+ /** Registered extension field names used by the update option policy check. */+ extensionFieldNames: readonly string[];
}
Note: this behaviour predates this PR (already present at merge base eb93c97ef81f); the change keeps it reachable.

Assert that the unchanged closed item gets no new history entry.
The new mixed-batch retry test checks closed_at, updated_at, close_reason, and the open item's title. It does not read history for closedTarget. A transaction change that appends an empty update entry to the closed item, without changing those fields, still passes this test.
Read the closed target's history before the first commit and again after the retry. Assert that the entry count is unchanged.
The GH-1628 acceptance criteria require mixed-batch retry idempotency and no-write negatives. This assertion covers that requirement. The gap is in coverage of behavior that currently works. No production failure is implied.

The test "treats a changed completion time as a closure and its exact repeat as a no-op" checks only the terminal_state_unchanged warning and changed_fields. A write that re-stamps updated_at and still returns the same receipt would pass these assertions. The sibling forced-repeat test already asserts closed_at, updated_at, history length, and bytes, so this path can use the same checks.

…ose and harden lean refusals and holder evidence
CodeRabbit reviewed the 62 files of this stack that #1635's review
rounds had not covered. It posted one Major and eleven Minor findings;
all twelve are fixed here.
Terminal no-op (GH-1628):
- Major. On a closed item, --status closed --unset close-reason took the
repeated-state path and removed a reason that
governance.require_close_reason requires, then reported success.
assertRoutedCloseKeepsRequiredReason now refuses with the closure
writer's close_reason_required before either route writes. It
tokenizes --unset like the update parser and uses the shared
CLOSE_REASON_UNSET_ALIASES.
- The repeated-state path re-checks the reason and completion time, not
only the status, on the item its locked write returned. A concurrent
change goes to the closure writer.
Lean refusals and holder evidence (GH-1610):
- A missing claim_source defaults to unknown, never claim.
- resolveItemOwnershipConflict trusts an assignee history entry only if
it set the current holder.
- Lean text never exceeds the default bounded rendering.
- The text Held by line caps the holder at 120 code points; JSON keeps
the full value.
- Commander usage refusals in text honour --lean.
- projectLeanRecoveryPayload omits an all-undefined remainder.
- COMMANDS.md and AGENT_UX_CONTRACTS.md document the unknown origin.
Ranking policy (GH-1618):
- The floor tier and the weighted reason read the registry's
in_progress_status instead of the literal in_progress.
Tracker:
- pm-irviv0's negative control accepts either the GHSA ids or the
registry feed's numeric ids (1244003, 1244012). Re-run against
1a72d08, it exits 0.
Each behavioural fix has a regression test that fails against the
previous source. The full static chain (except mutation testing) and
4,683 affected tests pass locally.

…im itself
Since pm-8xgg7i, pm close clears claim_principal along with the
assignee. The release step of a close-then-release completion is now a
no-op, so the existing post-release-failure test no longer reached the
release step's compensation. Hosted coverage flagged
src/sdk/item-transaction.ts:796.
A dedicated test claims an item, runs a transaction of release followed
by a failing step, and asserts that the assignee and claim principal
are restored. The note is recorded on pm-8xgg7i.

Accept recovery payloads without echo fields.
projectLeanRecoveryPayload({ allowed_values: ["open"] }) fails TypeScript checking because the argument shares no property with the echo-field constraint. allowed_values is a valid recovery field that the helper preserves. Broaden the generic constraint in src/sdk/cli-contracts/agent-output-contracts.ts, then regenerate the public-surface snapshot.
The current CLI callers use PmCliErrorRecoveryPayload, which includes attempted_command and therefore satisfies the existing constraint. The issue affects valid recovery-only callers of the public helper.

…ign the closed records with what shipped
CodeRabbit's re-review of 1912025 posted one Major and six minor
findings. This commit fixes five of the minors, files the Major as
pm-4zpq71, and answers the remaining minor on its thread.
- describesCurrentTerminalState compared the raw --completed-at with
the stored canonical ISO value. An equivalent spelling therefore left
the no-op path and, with --force, re-stamped closed_at. The request is
now resolved through resolveIsoOrRelative before comparing. The test
covers 2026-01-02T03:04:05Z against the stored .000Z form and fails
against the previous predicate.
- The context_next_ranking_policy summary says the policy applies to
the built-in scorer and that an extension context_relevance scorer
keeps its own order.
- pm-gh1627: close_reason and expected_result now state the delivered
scope (audit when a selection budget is requested, null otherwise,
side sections unchanged, include flags still dispatch opt-ins).
- pm-gh1633: the resolution says repeatable, not list.
- pm-irviv0: the negative control stops if git worktree add fails, so
cleanup never removes a pre-existing worktree.
Filed rather than fixed here: pm-4zpq71 (P1, pre-existing). A config
write against a schema-invalid settings.json persists the fallback
defaults as the whole file. pm-x2aplf's criteria covered only valid
sparse files.
ContextSettings.next_ranking_policy stays required. PmSettings.context
is the normalized read model, and making the field optional breaks the
config report types that echo it. That is explained on the thread.
… census and adopt that release
pm-changelog 2026.10.31 was published at 17:01 UTC today with two new
commands, changelog corrections and changelog drift. CI installs the
newest pm-changelog, so Gates (static) failed at the command-grammar
gate (missing_destination, stale_observed_signature) on a commit whose
own changes all passed.
- grammar-contracts.ts lists both commands among the package_owned
destinations and declares changelog corrections <action> as a
required string slot. An action-kind slot would need a value domain
that core cannot know for a package command.
- .managed-extensions.json records pm-changelog 2026.10.31, and the
contract snapshot includes the new package commands. CHANGELOG.md
output is unchanged under the new version.
- Filed pm-j5za12 so that a sibling package release cannot turn
unrelated pm-cli PRs red again.
The full static chain (except mutation testing) passes locally with
the new package installed.
