issue_89: Sweep the whole repository, and record what a session read - #90
Conversation
The four commands that establish the state at clock-in describe the current branch plus whatever carries an open pull request. A branch with commits and no pull request is invisible to all four, and that is the ordinary shape of work in progress. It cost a real day: on 3 September 2026 a consuming private journal recorded a topic as untouched while four commits for it sat on a side branch of the very repository being swept. The sweep was not wrong, it was incomplete, and the result was a durable record a later session would have believed. Clock-in gains the enumeration and clock-out defers to it rather than carrying a second copy. The new wiring scenario guards both halves: no other skill carries the command, and clock-out still reaches the skill that owns it. Both halves were verified to fail on a real regression. Closes part of #89. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_011krf2MRrinYMyArXUuvPpj
Both skills claim to start from the repository rather than from memory, and neither leaves a trace of having done it. A session that read the issues, the diary and the topic files and one that reconstructed them from the conversation produce artifacts that look identical, so the failure is silent by construction. The session now records which artifacts it fetched, with references a later session can re-fetch, and the handover record gains a field for it. That field is deliberately separate from evidence: evidence is what the day produced, read is what the session fetched to find out, and collapsing them loses the only statement that says the day was reconstructed from the repository. How far this reaches is stated in the skill instead of implied. The branch enumeration is enforced by a command; this record is enforced by review, because the diary form belongs to the project layer and there is no single path a toolkit-level check could look at. A consuming repository with a fixed diary shape can count it, and one does. Closes part of #89.

Review-Ergebnis: noch nicht converged – ein Blocker gegen Akzeptanzkriterium 1.
Das neue deterministische Checkout-Kommando
git for-each-ref ... refs/remotes/origin refs/heads
liefert Ref, Datum und Betreff, aber keine Divergenz zum Basisbranch. Der anschließende Satz „Read it against the base branch“ verlagert genau den fehlenden Schritt wieder in eine nicht deterministische Agenteninterpretation. Auch die genannte API-Alternative beschreibt nur Endpoints, nicht das vollständige Kommando. Damit sind „branches enumerated with their divergence from the base branch“ und die Aussage, die Branch-Enumeration sei durch ein Kommando abgesichert, noch nicht erfüllt.
Bitte ein ausführbares Kommando ergänzen, das den Basisbranch bestimmt bzw. benennt und pro relevantem Ref mindestens ahead/behind sowie das Datum des neuesten Commits ausgibt. Dabei lokale und Remote-Refs deduplizieren oder klar festlegen, welche Ref-Klasse maßgeblich ist.
Der Wiring-Test schützt derzeit nur vor Kopie bzw. fehlender Referenz, nicht davor, dass die kanonische Enumeration die versprochene Divergenz verliert; dafür wäre ein zusätzlicher semantischer Guard sinnvoll.
The enumeration printed ref, date and subject and then asked the reader to compare them against the base branch. That put the missing step back into interpretation, which is what acceptance criterion 1 forbids: a list of names is not divergence, and the claim that the sweep is enforced by a command was not yet true. It now resolves the base branch instead of assuming it, prints ahead and behind per ref plus the newest commit date, and ends in one verdict. Local and remote refs are deduplicated to one entry per branch name, and the local ref wins because a checkout's branch can be ahead of what was pushed. The API form is a full command rather than two endpoints. Both forms are fail-closed, and the same review found the reason next door: a gh call as the left member of a pipeline swallows its own failure, and a while read behind a pipe discards the gaps it collected in its subshell. The wiring test guarded where the command lives, not that it still does anything. A second scenario guards the promise: base resolved rather than assumed, commits counted in both directions. It fails against the previous version while the wiring test stays green, which is exactly the hole it fills. Closes part of #89.

Befund angenommen und behoben — Zu Akzeptanzkriterium 1. Du hast recht: Zur Ref-Klasse. Dedupliziert statt festgelegt: eine Zeile pro Branchname, und der lokale Ref gewinnt, weil ein lokaler Branch dem gepushten voraus sein kann und die Remote-Kopie die Arbeit dann untertreiben würde. Zwei Zeilen für einen Branch lesen sich wie zwei Branches, deshalb nicht beide. Zur API-Alternative. Jetzt ein vollständiges Kommando mit Fail-closed, aus deinem anderen Review mitgenommen. Der Befund an PR #44 gehört zur selben Klasse, deshalb ist er hier gleich mit eingebaut: jede Abfrage einzeln geprüft, gesammelte Lücken statt übersprungener, ein Urteil am Ende. Die beiden Formen, die das still verschlucken, stehen als Begründung im Skill — Zum semantischen Guard. Der wichtigste Teil deines Kommentars, und er stimmt: Der Wiring-Test wäre gegen eine auf Verifikation: 41/41 JS, 29+4 Ruby, plus vier Negativläufe (Basis nicht auflösbar, Default-Branch nicht abrufbar, Kommando einkopiert, Enumeration auf eine Liste reduziert). Der Convergence Check im PR-Body ist ersetzt, nicht ergänzt — das alte Ergebnis beschrieb |

Der ursprüngliche Blocker ist sauber behoben: Basisbranch, ahead/behind, Datum und ein semantischer Guard sind jetzt vorhanden.
Im vollständigen Re-Review bleiben noch zwei Fälle, in denen der als vollständig beschriebene Sweep Arbeit unterschlagen kann:
- Die API-Variante liest mit
per_page=100nur die erste Seite und meldet bei mehr als 100 Branches trotzdemSWEEP: CLEAR. Bitte paginieren. - „One entry per branch name, and the local ref wins“ ist nicht allgemein sicher. Nach
git fetchkann ein lokaler Branch hinterorigin/<name>liegen oder beide können unabhängig divergiert sein. Dann verwirft die Deduplizierung den Remote-Stand und kann genau die Arbeit ausblenden, die der Sweep finden soll. Lokal gewinnt nur dann sicher, wennorigin/<name>ein Vorfahr des lokalen Refs ist. Andernfalls müssen beide Stände sichtbar werden oder der Namenskonflikt muss als eigener Zustand/Gap ausgegeben werden.
Gerade Punkt 2 liegt im Kern der Anforderung „whole repository“ und ist deshalb kein bloßer Schönheitsfehler. Ein negativer Test mit lokalem Branch hinter bzw. divergent zu seinem Remote-Gegenstück würde die beabsichtigte Garantie gut absichern.
Two ways the sweep could still report a whole repository while having seen part of it. The API form read one page. Past a hundred branches it printed SWEEP: CLEAR having looked at the first hundred - silent incompleteness arriving through the door marked success, which is the outcome this step exists to remove. It paginates now; the checkout form never had the limit. The deduplication was the worse one. "The local ref wins" holds only while origin/<name> is an ancestor of the local ref. A local branch left behind its remote, or diverged from it, would have had the remote state discarded - the commits the sweep is supposed to find, dropped by the step that claims to find them. Local wins only when the ancestry says so; otherwise both refs are listed and the pair is named. That is a repository state, not a failed query, so it reports rather than blocks. Verified against a repository built for it, with all four cases: local ahead, local behind, diverged, remote only. The semantic guard now covers both forms, because either regression would otherwise pass it while quietly narrowing what the sweep sees. Closes part of #89.

Beide Punkte angenommen und behoben — 1. Pagination. Behoben mit 2. Die Deduplizierung — du hast recht, und es war der schwerwiegendere Fall. „Local wins" gilt nur, solange Jetzt entscheidet die Ancestry. Negativ getestet gegen ein eigens gebautes Repository mit allen vier Fällen:
Zum Guard. Beide Regressionen wären an ihm vorbeigekommen, deshalb deckt das semantische Szenario jetzt beide Formen ab: Checkout-Form mit aufgelöstem Basisbranch und Zählung in beide Richtungen, API-Form mit Pagination. Negativlauf mit entferntem Verifikation: 41/41 JS, 29+4 Ruby, vier Negativläufe, zwei Positivläufe. Der Convergence Check im PR-Body ist gegen |

Erneut gegen Anforderungen, Nacharbeit und vollständigen aktuellen Diff geprüft: converged.
Die zuletzt offenen Garantien sind jetzt sauber umgesetzt:
- Die API-Variante paginiert die gesamte Branchliste.
- Die Checkout-Variante berechnet die Divergenz zum ermittelten Basisbranch.
- Gleichnamige lokale und Remote-Refs werden nur kollabiert, wenn der Remote-Stand im lokalen enthalten ist; andernfalls bleiben beide sichtbar.
- Der semantische Guard deckt neben Basisbranch und
ahead/behindnun auch die Paginierung der API-Variante ab. clock-outreferenziert weiterhin die kanonische Definition, statt sie zu duplizieren.
Damit sind die sieben Akzeptanzkriterien aus #89 erfüllt, ohne die Session-Lead-, Self-Delegation- oder Journal-Binding-Regeln zu verändern. Für den aktuellen Head sind keine GitHub-Status-Checks registriert; im geprüften Diff sehe ich keinen verbleibenden Blocker.
Closes #89.
Two findings from a real day in a consuming private journal, both sitting in the default ritual rather than in that project's local skill. The consuming half is
dieterbaier/profile-private#42.issue_89: Sweep every branch, not just the currentThe four commands that establish the state at clock-in describe the current branch plus whatever carries an open pull request. A branch with commits and no pull request is invisible to all four — the ordinary shape of work in progress.
On 3 September 2026 that cost a real day: the consuming journal recorded a topic as untouched while four commits for it sat on a side branch of the very repository being swept.
clock-ingains the enumeration;clock-outdefers to it by resolvable reference rather than carrying a second copy. This is one repository's branches — the multi-project view still belongs to the private layer.issue_89: Record what a session actually readBoth skills claim to start from the repository rather than from memory, and neither leaves a trace of it. The session now records which artifacts it fetched, with re-fetchable references, and the handover record gains a

The enumeration printed ref, date and subject and then asked the reader to compare them against the base branch — which puts the missing step back into interpretation and leaves acceptance criterion 1 unmet. It now resolves the base branch instead of assuming it, prints
ahead/behindper ref plus the newest commit date, deduplicates local and remote refs to one entry per branch name (local wins: a checkout's branch can be ahead of what was pushed), and ends in one verdict. The API form is a full command rather than two endpoints.Both forms are fail-closed. The same review found the reason in the sibling repository: a

A second scenario guards the promise, and it fails against the previous version while the wiring scenario stays green — which is precisely the hole the review named.
