+# mise environment certification
+
+This suite certifies the project-local mise interoperability surface implemented by `zed-pkg/zed-cli`.
+
+`zed-pkg` is an independent multi-language package manager and has no relationship with the Zed editor. Here, `zed` means the `zed-pkg` CLI.
+
+## Scope
+
+The workflow `.github/workflows/mise-environment.yml` builds one immutable `zed-cli` commit and runs the same black-box harness on:
+
+- Ubuntu 24.04 x64;
+- macOS 15 arm64; and
+- Windows Server 2025 x64.
+
+The `zed-cli` and `zed-interfaces` revisions are full 40-character commit pins. A pull request that updates the certified CLI must update the pin explicitly and prove the new commit across the complete matrix.
+
+## Certified behavior
+
+`scripts/mise_environment.py` exercises the real compiled `zed` executable. It verifies:
+
+- `zed env import mise` and `zed env verify mise --frozen`;
+- exact config/lock coverage and stable machine-readable output;
+- semantic digest stability across TOML key/table ordering and presentation changes;
+- digest drift when locked artifact provenance changes;
+- SHA-256 lock metadata, malformed-checksum rejection, and missing-checksum rejection;
+- no parent or user-global mise configuration leakage;
+- no dependency on an ambient `mise` executable—the child process receives an empty `PATH`;
+- no mutation of `mise.toml`, `mise.lock`, or the project tree;
+- fail-closed ambiguous-config, missing-lock, and config/lock-drift behavior;
+- `.tool-versions` authoring import and frozen-lock rejection; and
+- project-root escape rejection through symlink canonicalization where the host permits symlink creation.
+
+The harness intentionally does not install runtimes or execute mise tasks, hooks, templates, plugins, or environment expressions. Those are separate compatibility and trust surfaces.
+
+## Local execution
+
+Build the exact `zed-cli` revision being certified, then run:
+
+```bash
+python scripts/mise_environment.py \
+  --zed ../zed-cli/target/release/zed \
+  --work-root /tmp/zed-mise-environment
+```
+
+The work root must not already exist. On success, the harness emits one JSON certification summary. On failure, it reports the exact command, working directory, exit status, stdout, and stderr.
+
+## Promotion rule
+
+This certification pull request remains draft while its pinned `zed-cli` pull request is draft. Promote and merge it only after:
+
+1. the CLI commit is final and immutable;
+2. all three operating-system jobs pass on that exact commit;
+3. ordinary `zed-cli` install, publish, R2G, development-shell, policy, and repository-hardening checks remain green; and
+4. the CLI and test pull requests cross-link their Linear issue and exact commit SHAs.

+# Publication immutability canary
+
+This canary certifies the registry behavior required by deterministic builders
+such as Nix and by every native-registry export that treats a public version as
+an immutable identity.
+
+## Contract
+
+For one `{org, name, version}` publication:
+
+1. the first upload creates content-addressed artifact and version metadata;
+2. an exact retry is idempotent and changes no registry byte;
+3. a retry with changed artifact bytes and the same package identity fails;
+4. the failed retry changes no metadata, artifact, yank state, or index object;
+5. the artifact referenced by the original metadata still matches its SHA-256.
+
+The test does not accept “last writer wins.” Replacing bytes behind a version
+would invalidate `.zpkg.lock`, Nix fixed-output derivations, remote caches, and
+native-registry attestations.
+
+## Isolation and reproducibility
+
+`.github/workflows/publication-immutability.yml` builds one exact `zed-cli`
+commit, verifies the binary checksum, and tests immutable commits of both a Node
+and Rust fixture. Each matrix job owns a fresh directory-backed `file://`
+registry and fresh Zed homes.
+
+The canary clears `ZED_PKG_TOKEN`, disables interactive Git authentication,
+never contacts the public Zed registry, and checks that the fixture checkout
+remains clean. Third-party Actions, the CLI, interfaces crate, and fixtures are
+all pinned to full commit SHAs.
+
+## Test sequence
+
+`scripts/publication_immutability.py` performs the following black-box sequence:
+
+- publish the fixture;
+- verify metadata and content-addressed artifact SHA-256;
+- snapshot every registry file;
+- republish the identical source and require the same complete snapshot;
+- locate a source file that is actually present in the emitted tarball;
+- mutate that file while preserving package name and version;
+- pack again and prove that the candidate artifact digest changed;
+- attempt the same-version publication and require failure;
+- require the complete registry snapshot to remain unchanged;
+- re-verify the original metadata and artifact digest.
+
+A JSON evidence summary and command log remain under the job work root. On
+failure, the workflow uploads the source status, registry checksums, tree
+listing, logs, and summary for inspection.
+
+## Local invocation
+
+Build the selected CLI, then run against a clean fixture checkout:
+
+```bash
+python3 scripts/publication_immutability.py \
+  --fixture-dir ../node-lib \
+  --zed ../zed-cli/target/release/zed \
+  --work-root /tmp/zed-publication-immutability
+```
+
+The work root must not already exist. It is intentionally retained after the
+run so the registry and evidence can be audited.

+The test publishes one real zed-pkg-test fixture to a private file registry,
+creates a consumer lock through normal installation, uninstalls the project
+materialization, and then proves the resolver-only bundle contract from the
+built CLI under test. All state is disposable and no credentials are used.

+# External frozen-fetch canary
+
+This repository validates `zed fetch --frozen` outside the `zed-cli`
+implementation repository. The lifecycle workflow pins one immutable zed-cli
+commit, builds it once, and reuses the checksummed binary for both the existing
+22-repository matrix and a dedicated resolver-only fetch job.
+
+The canary uses the real `zed-pkg-test/node-lib` package fixture and a disposable
+`file://` registry. It performs this sequence:
+
+1. publish the fixture through normal `zed publish`;
+2. create a consumer lock through normal copy installation;
+3. uninstall all project materialization while retaining exact lock bytes;
+4. remove the install store;
+5. run two independent frozen fetches with a separate home path;
+6. compare every output file by relative path, byte length, and SHA-256;
+7. verify `zed.fetch/v1` identity, artifact, provenance, source-classification,
+   and lock-digest metadata;
+8. prove the consumer tree and fixture checkout were unchanged;
+9. prove the configured fetch home was never created;
+10. reject a tampered artifact digest before final output publication;
+11. reject an existing caller-owned destination without changing it;
+12. reject a missing lock; and
+13. export a deterministic dependency-free lock.
+
+Literal registry paths and URLs must not appear in the portable index. Temporary
+bundle and isolated-store directories must not survive success or failure.
+
+The workflow uses read-only repository permissions, commit-pinned checkout and
+artifact actions, an exact 40-character zed-cli revision, disabled persisted
+checkout credentials, and failure-only diagnostics. The aggregate lifecycle
+gate requires the external fetch canary and every fixture lifecycle to pass.
+
+During development, `ZED_CLI_REF` points at the exact reviewed commit of the
+stacked zed-cli pull request. Before this canary merges to `main`, update that pin
+to the final merged zed-cli commit so scheduled and repository-dispatch runs
+never depend on an unmerged branch head.

+# Immutable OCI publication-plan contract
+
+This suite certifies the first OCI interoperability boundary for **zed-pkg**:
+`zed oci plan` computes the exact immutable artifact identity without logging
+in, contacting a registry, recovering a pending project mutation, or writing a
+persistent package output.
+
+It is deliberately narrower than OCI publication. Authentication, blob upload,
+manifest push, pull, signature/referrer handling, and registry-specific retries
+remain separate follow-up contracts. A planner that passes this suite has
+proved what bytes and descriptors a later transport is allowed to publish; it
+has not proved transport behavior.
+
+## Immutable inputs
+
+`.github/workflows/oci-plan-contract.yml` accepts one exact 40-character
+`zed-pkg/zed-cli` commit. The workflow also pins the three fixture repositories
+and every third-party Action to immutable commits. It builds the candidate with
+its checked-in lockfile and runs the real release binary.
+
+The initial fixture set is intentionally small but structurally complete:
+
+| Fixture | Contract exercised |
+| --- | --- |
+| `node-lib` | single-package deterministic planning, tag/digest rejection, and syscall audit |
+| `polyglot-lib` | required target selection and independent Node.js, Python, Go, and Rust artifacts |
+| `node-app` | required frozen lock provenance, lock layer inclusion, version drift, and digest canonicalization |
+
+## Certified invariants
+
+For every successful plan, the harness asserts:
+
+1. two independent invocations produce byte-identical JSON;
+2. the public package identity matches the selected source or polyglot target;
+3. the requested mutable tag is preserved while the resolved reference gains
+   exactly one canonical `sha256:` digest;
+4. that digest equals the OCI manifest descriptor and planned manifest blob;
+5. config, package, source-manifest, optional lockfile, and OCI-manifest blobs
+   have unique typed descriptors and positive sizes;
+6. each blob digest agrees with the corresponding adapter layer;
+7. the project tree is byte- and mode-identical before and after planning;
+8. no `.zed/pack` directory is left behind; and
+9. deliberately unrecoverable `.zpkg-staging` state remains untouched.
+
+The representative `node-lib` run executes under `strace`. Any runtime network
+socket syscall fails the test. Opening either the poisoned saved-credentials
+file or poisoned refresh-session file also fails. Closed loopback proxies and a
+nonexistent registry endpoint provide an additional defense against an
+accidental transport call.
+
+## Fail-closed cases
+
+The same executable must reject, without changing the project tree:
+
+- a destination tag that differs from the package version;
+- a caller-selected digest instead of a digest derived from the planned bytes;
+- a polyglot source without `--target`;
+- a dependency-bearing package without `.zpkg.lock`;
+- a locked dependency version outside the manifest requirement; and
+- a noncanonical uppercase lock digest.
+
+Assertions are not weakened when a candidate changes. A behavior change must
+update the shared OCI contract, unit tests, this black-box suite, and its design
+rationale together.
+
+## Evidence
+
+Every completed harness invocation writes `evidence/evidence.json`, containing
+all commands, exit statuses, stdout/stderr, plan fingerprints, and negative-case
+coverage. The syscall trace for the audited run is stored beside it. GitHub
+Actions uploads the directory for seven days.
+
+The evidence contains no registry token or account secret: the job grants only
+`contents: read`, clears Zed token/password variables, disables persisted
+checkout credentials, and runs the planner with unreadable invalid credential
+files.
+
+## Local execution
+
+Build the exact candidate and place fixture checkouts beside this repository,
+then run:
+
+```bash
+python3 scripts/oci_plan_contract.py \
+  --zed ../zed-cli/target/release/zed \
+  --strace "$(command -v strace)" \
+  --node-lib ../node-lib \
+  --node-app ../node-app \
+  --polyglot-lib ../polyglot-lib \
+  --evidence /tmp/zed-oci-plan-evidence
+```
+
+Linux with `strace` is required because the credential/network claim is a
+syscall-level assertion, not merely a mock-server assumption.

 The work root is disposable. Reusing the same path is safe because the harness
 requires a fresh root and GitHub-hosted jobs receive a new runner filesystem.
 
+## Durable first-install acceptance
+
+`.github/workflows/durable-first-install.yml` is the cross-organization
+acceptance gate for DEN-1413. It builds one immutable `zed-cli` commit on Linux
+and macOS, publishes the exact pinned `zed-pkg-test/node-lib` fixture to a fresh
+`file://` registry, removes Zed state from the pinned `node-app` fixture, and
+installs the real package from a nested consumer directory.
+
+`scripts/durable-first-install.sh` verifies that:
+
+- a dependency-bearing first install creates `.zpkg.toml` at the inferred
+  native-project root, not in the nested invocation directory;
+- two independently created consumers with the same basename and inputs receive
+  byte-identical manifests and lockfiles;
+- the generated manifest records direct dependency, target, adapter, marker,
+  and deterministic local identity metadata;
+- copy-mode package and Node adapter outputs contain no symlinks and the real
+  Node application executes successfully;
+- an inferred local consumer cannot be published, even with dry-run and VCS
+  checks skipped;
+- `--do-not-write-new-manifest` is an informational no-op for generated and
+  authored existing manifests;
+- the canonical flag and `ZED_PKG_DO_NOT_WRITE_NEW_MANIFEST` preserve explicit
+  ephemeral installs, while `--skip-manifest` remains a deprecated compatibility
+  spelling;
+- failed resolution removes the exact generated manifest and leaves no lock,
+  package tree, adapter output, or transaction debris; and
+- lock-only frozen restoration fails by default and succeeds byte-for-byte only
+  when no-new-manifest intent is explicit.
+
+All component refs and actions are immutable. During implementation review, the
+workflow pins the exact head of the corresponding `zed-cli` pull request. The
+pin must move to that PR's final reviewed head after every implementation
+change, then to the merge commit when the CLI work lands. The workflow has
+read-only repository permissions and uploads only bounded local-registry
+diagnostics on failure.
+
+Run the acceptance harness locally with sibling fixture checkouts:

+# Local OCI image-layout certification
+
+This suite certifies the credential-free local layout boundary added by
+`zed-pkg/zed-cli#56`. It treats the Rust implementation as an untrusted producer:
+the black-box harness walks the generated OCI image-layout, hashes every blob
+independently, and compares the result with a separate plan-only invocation.
+
+The suite is stacked on the publication-plan contract in
+`docs/oci-plan-contract.md`. Planning remains the authoritative identity model;
+this follow-up proves that `--out` materializes those exact bytes without adding
+network, authentication, or hidden project mutations.
+
+## Exact inputs
+
+`.github/workflows/oci-layout-contract.yml` pins:
+
+- one exact 40-character `zed-pkg/zed-cli` candidate commit;
+- immutable commits for `node-lib`, `node-app`, and `polyglot-lib` fixtures; and
+- immutable commits for every third-party GitHub Action.
+
+The job grants only `contents: read`, disables persisted checkout credentials,
+and builds the candidate with its checked-in Cargo lockfile.
+
+## Certified output
+
+For each successful layout, the harness requires:
+
+1. `oci-layout` contains image-layout version `1.0.0`;
+2. `index.json` is an OCI image index with exactly one manifest descriptor;
+3. the index descriptor digest equals the resolved publication reference and
+   the plan-only manifest descriptor;
+4. `org.opencontainers.image.ref.name` preserves the requested version tag;
+5. every descriptor points to `blobs/sha256/<encoded digest>`;
+6. every blob filename equals the SHA-256 of its bytes;
+7. every descriptor size equals the actual byte count;
+8. the OCI manifest carries the expected Zed config and typed package,
+   source-manifest, and optional lockfile layers;
+9. no undeclared or duplicate blob exists;
+10. the reported blob count and total byte count match the independently walked
+    layout; and
+11. two separate materializations of the same package produce byte-identical
+    trees apart from their requested output path.
+
+## Fixture coverage
+
+| Fixture | Boundary exercised |
+| --- | --- |
+| `node-lib` | deterministic layout, plan parity, full descriptor walk, syscall audit |
+| `polyglot-lib` | one selected Rust target re-rooted from a four-language source repository |
+| `node-app` | exact `.zpkg.lock` bytes preserved as a typed OCI layer |
+
+The suite also creates a pre-existing output directory and proves the command
+fails without changing its sentinel file.
+
+## Source-tree and security boundaries
+
+Before and after every command, the harness fingerprints the source fixture,
+including relative paths, file bytes, symlink targets, and permission bits. It
+also installs an intentionally unrecoverable `.zpkg-staging` sentinel. A passing
+candidate must therefore leave the source tree unchanged, leave no `.zed/pack`
+output, and avoid transaction recovery.
+
+The representative `node-lib` materialization runs under `strace`. Any runtime
+network socket syscall fails the job. Opening either poisoned saved-credentials
+file also fails. Closed loopback proxies and nonexistent registry/auth endpoints
+provide an additional guardrail.
+
+## Formatting and executable validation
+
+The workflow deliberately cannot push fixes back to the product branch. It:
+
+1. runs `cargo fmt` on a disposable exact checkout;
+2. records a patch and formatted source files as evidence;
+3. runs focused OCI tests, Clippy with warnings denied, and a locked release
+   build against the formatted tree;
+4. runs the black-box contract; and
+5. finally requires the originally pinned candidate to have produced no
+   rustfmt diff.
+
+A formatting-only failure therefore exposes the exact deterministic correction
+without granting repository write permission. Product changes are reviewed and
+committed in `zed-pkg/zed-cli`, then this canary is repinned to the new exact
+commit.
+
+## Evidence
+
+Every run uploads formatting evidence, structured command results, layout
+fingerprints, and the syscall trace for seven days. The evidence schema is
+`zed-pkg-test.oci-layout-evidence/v1` and contains no registry token or account
+secret.
+
+## Local execution
+
+Build the exact CLI candidate and place fixture checkouts beside this repository,
+then run:
+
+```bash
+python3 scripts/oci_layout_contract.py \
+  --zed ../zed-cli/target/release/zed \
+  --strace "$(command -v strace)" \
+  --node-lib ../node-lib \
+  --node-app ../node-app \
+  --polyglot-lib ../polyglot-lib \
+  --evidence /tmp/zed-oci-layout-evidence
+```
+
+Linux with `strace` is required for the credential/network assertion.

+# mise compatibility certification
+
+This directory independently certifies the compatibility claims made by
+`zed-pkg`. It does not grant feature credit for command names or for preserving
+configuration bytes alone: each tier has observable acceptance criteria and
+negative canaries.
+
+## Tier 1: lossless project adapter
+
+The initial suite covers project-local mise configuration interoperability:
+
+- `.mise.toml` and `mise.toml` discovery;
+- deterministic import to `zed-dev.toml` plus `.zed/mise.lock` provenance;
+- frozen verification before and after a lossless export;
+- multi-version order preservation;
+- typed `env` and `vars` plus task/settings preservation;
+- unknown top-level hooks/plugins preserved but never executed;
+- conflicting project config rejection;
+- `.tool-versions` reported as unsupported until its dedicated adapter lands;
+- source and generated-plan tamper rejection.
+
+The machine-readable claim surface is `tier1-cases.json`. A release must not
+claim a higher tier than the latest passing certification report.
+
+## Running locally
+
+Build `zed-cli`, then run:
+
+```sh
+python3 scripts/mise_tier1_certify.py \
+  --zed /path/to/zed-cli/target/debug/zed \
+  --fixtures compat/mise/fixtures \
+  --report mise-tier1-report.json
+```
+
+The runner copies every fixture into a temporary directory. It never executes
+commands from imported mise hooks, plugins, tasks, or templates.
+
+## Compatibility vocabulary
+
+- **supported**: Zed interprets the field and the suite checks semantics.
+- **preserved-inert**: Zed round-trips the field losslessly but does not execute
+  it without a separately certified native implementation and trust policy.
+- **unsupported-explicit**: Zed rejects or diagnoses the input; it is never
+  silently discarded.
+- **negative-canary**: malformed, mutable, conflicting, or tampered state that
+  must fail closed.

+# Native registry contract canary
+
+This canary consumes the public `zed-interfaces` native-registry API from a
+separate repository. It is intentionally independent of npm, crates.io,
+credentials, and publication side effects.
+
+## Certified boundary
+
+For one exact `zed-interfaces` commit, the workflow proves that:
+
+1. the complete interface crate compiles with its locked dependency graph;
+2. the native-registry JSON Schema can be generated twice with identical bytes;
+3. the checked-in Rust tests and schema-contract test pass;
+4. rustfmt and Clippy with warnings denied pass;
+5. an external crate can construct and validate a generic npm wrapper with
+   Linux/musl and macOS platform packages; and
+6. the public helpers identify SemVer versions that differ only in build
+   metadata as the same precedence identity.
+
+The consumer keeps architecture and libc outside the version. It uses one
+`1.4.2` API version for the wrapper and both platform packages, with exact
+artifact SHA-256, size, and format on each publication.
+
+## Isolation
+
+`.github/workflows/native-registry-contract.yml` pins the interface candidate to
+a full 40-character commit, checks it out without persisted credentials, and
+runs on a clean hosted runner. After the full crate build warms the Cargo cache,
+the external consumer is compiled and executed offline. The generated schema,
+checksum, resolved consumer lock, and source-tree status are uploaded as an
+evidence bundle.
+
+## Updating the pin
+
+Change `ZED_INTERFACES_REF` only to a reviewed commit that contains the complete
+contract, generated schema registration, and tests. The pull request must show
+the exact certified commit and workflow run before the pin is promoted to
+`main`.

+# External Zed → Nix plan certification
+
+This repository tests deterministic Nix export planning outside the `zed-cli`
+implementation repository. `.zed-nix-plan-cli-ref` pins one exact 40-character
+CLI commit. The workflow builds that commit and runs it against clean copies of
+real `zed-pkg-test/node-lib` and `zed-pkg-test/polyglot-lib` fixtures.
+
+The canary proves:
+
+- identical package bytes at different absolute paths emit identical compact
+  `zed.nix-export-plan/v1` JSON;
+- the exact manifest and lock digests are retained;
+- the packed artifact digest is stable and path-independent;
+- systems are normalized deterministically;
+- a real prebuilt executable appears in both the source and packed artifact;
+- global token, Supabase key, registry, home, and workspace paths do not enter
+  the plan;
+- planning never creates the configured global Zed home;
+- source fixture checkouts and disposable package copies remain unchanged;
+- a manifest comment changes both exact-manifest and artifact identity;
+- missing locks and source build hooks fail with actionable diagnostics;
+- a polyglot package requires explicit target selection;
+- target synonyms resolve to the same canonical target and plan;
+- isolated Node and Rust targets are re-rooted to their published identities;
+  and
+- different target payloads do not collapse to one artifact identity.
+
+The workflow has read-only repository permissions, uses commit-pinned actions,
+disables persisted checkout credentials, accepts only a full immutable manual
+CLI override, and uploads diagnostics only on failure.
+
+Before this canary merges to `main`, `.zed-nix-plan-cli-ref` must point to the
+final merged zed-cli planner commit. Scheduled or dispatch-driven certification
+must never depend on a mutable branch or pull-request merge ref.

+# Native dependency range and exact-lock canary
+
+This canary certifies the public `zed-interfaces` contract that translates npm
+and Cargo dependency declarations before freezing one exact artifact identity.
+It does not invoke npm, Cargo, crates.io, the npm registry, Nix, or another
+resolver.
+
+## Source-aware behavior
+
+The same declaration is deliberately interpreted through the selected native
+registry:
+
+- npm `1.2.3` becomes exact `=1.2.3`;
+- Cargo `1.2.3` becomes default caret `^1.2.3`;
+- npm `1.2` becomes x-range `1.2.*`; and
+- Cargo `1.2` remains default caret `^1.2`.
+
+The external consumer also exercises comparator intersections, wildcards,
+major-zero caret behavior, explicit prereleases, and highest-satisfying
+selection independent of candidate order.
+
+## Frozen lock boundary
+
+A successful resolution records the original declaration, deterministic
+canonical requirement, exact strict-SemVer package version, lowercase nonzero
+artifact SHA-256, size, and archive format. The public validator recomputes the
+translation and rejects canonical-requirement drift, a resolved version outside
+the range, malformed artifact identity, duplicate candidates, and SemVer build
+metadata.
+
+## Unsupported syntax
+
+The v1 canary requires fail-closed rejection for unions, hyphen ranges, npm
+dist-tags and aliases, workspace/local/Git/URL sources, npm comma syntax, Cargo
+whitespace-only comparator intersections, and npm-style Cargo `x` wildcards.
+No rejected syntax may silently degrade to an opaque exact string.
+
+## Reproducibility and isolation
+
+The workflow pins one exact 40-character `zed-interfaces` commit, checks it out
+without persisted credentials, formats and tests the complete crate, generates
+the JSON Schema, runs Clippy with warnings denied, and executes a separate Rust
+consumer offline. The generated schema, formatted source, consumer lockfile,
+source status, and checksum are retained as evidence.
+
+After the formatted product and checked-in schema are committed, the workflow is
+ratcheted to formatter and schema-drift check mode. The immutable interface pin
+must then be advanced to the final reviewed product commit before merge.

+# Lifecycle fixture source-map contract
+
+The stateless lifecycle harness must know where every declared fixture
+dependency can be published from. `scripts/lifecycle.py` owns two disjoint
+registries:
+
+- `PACKAGE_SOURCES`: native Zed package name to fixture repository and manifest
+  path; and
+- `NON_PACKAGE_REPOS`: repositories that deliberately exercise the negative
+  no-manifest contract.
+
+A repository may not appear in both classifications. When a fixture is promoted
+from a schema or support repository into a published Zed package, the source map
+and non-package classification must change in the same reviewed commit.
+
+## Shared-schema promotion
+
+`zed-pkg-test/shared-schema` now publishes
+`zedtest/shared-schema@1.0.0`. The source map therefore contains:
+
+```python
+"zedtest/shared-schema": ("shared-schema", ".")
+```
+
+and `shared-schema` is no longer a non-package repository. This allows
+`python-app` and future heterogeneous consumers to seed the exact schema package
+before their own lifecycle begins. It also makes the `shared-schema` matrix row
+run release, deterministic pack, r2g, publish, copy install, frozen replay,
+yank, and restore checks instead of expecting all package commands to fail.
+
+## Drift gate
+
+`.github/workflows/lifecycle-source-map.yml` checks out immutable revisions of
+`python-app`, `shared-schema`, and `polyglot-lib`. The standard-library contract
+test proves that:
+
+1. every dependency declared by the Python consumer has a source-map entry;
+2. each mapped path contains a `.zpkg.toml`;
+3. the manifest's published outputs include the dependency name being mapped;
+4. package source repositories are disjoint from `NON_PACKAGE_REPOS`;
+5. repository names, package names, and relative paths are normalized; and
+6. the checks leave all harness and fixture repositories clean.
+
+The workflow has read-only permissions, bounded execution, immutable Action and
+fixture pins, and no registry or publication credentials.

+## Stacked lifecycle harness
+
+The canary pull request is temporarily based on the lifecycle source-map repair
+in `zed-pkg-test/zed-pkg-e2e#24`. That repair promotes
+`zedtest/shared-schema` from the negative non-package classification into
+`PACKAGE_SOURCES`, allowing the existing Python consumer and the shared-schema
+matrix row to run their real package lifecycle.
+
+This stack is intentional: the focused native-range workflow remains independent
+of the lifecycle implementation, while the repository-wide regression suite is
+required to pass against the repaired fixture graph before either PR is promoted.
+After the repair lands on `main`, this canary is retargeted to `main` without
+changing its native dependency contract or exact `zed-interfaces` pin.

+## Source-cleanliness invariant
+
+`zed publish` writes its deterministic archive to `.zed/pack/` even when a
+fixture repository does not ignore that path. The lifecycle harness removes

+asserts that the source checkout is clean.

+- only `?? .zed/pack/<expected>.tar.gz` status entries may be removed;
+- tracked or modified files are rejected;
+- unexpected files are rejected;
+- symlinks, directories, and non-regular files are rejected; and
+- all other source mutations still fail the lifecycle job.

+Repositories that already ignore `.zed/pack` produce no status entries and need

 This stack is intentional: the focused native-range workflow remains independent
 of the lifecycle implementation, while the repository-wide regression suite is
 required to pass against the repaired fixture graph before either PR is promoted.

+# mise runtime certification
+
+This suite independently certifies the consumer-visible runtime composition added to `zed-pkg/zed-cli` by DEN-1420.
+
+`zed-pkg` is an independent multi-language package manager and has no relationship with the Zed editor. In this document, `zed` means the `zed-pkg` CLI.
+
+## Relationship to the static mise suite
+
+The draft static suite in `zed-pkg-e2e#7` verifies deterministic import, export, lock parsing, normalized digests, drift detection, and project-boundary behavior **without executing mise**.
+
+This runtime suite exercises a separate contract: `zed dev --mise auto|never|required` invoking `mise exec`, then composing the activated toolchain with Zed package restoration, `zed_modules/.bin`, and project-local mutable caches.
+
+Neither suite may substitute for the other.
+
+## Immutable candidate
+
+`.github/workflows/mise-runtime.yml` builds a full 40-character `zed-cli` commit pin and runs the same black-box harness on Ubuntu 24.04 and macOS 15. The workflow does not install mise or download language runtimes. Instead, it supplies a deterministic executable stub whose arguments and relevant environment values are observable.
+
+The default candidate is the exact head of `zed-pkg/zed-cli#70`. Update the pin whenever that pull request changes, and never promote this certification against a branch name or abbreviated SHA.
+
+## Certified behavior
+
+`scripts/mise_runtime.sh` proves:
+
+- `--mise required` enters `mise exec` exactly once;
+- mise-selected tools and `zed_modules/.bin` are both available to the child command;
+- `ZED_DEV_MISE` supplies the flags-to-environment fallback while an explicit CLI flag wins;
+- `auto` falls back to the native Zed environment when no project configuration exists;
+- `required` fails closed when configuration or the mise executable is missing;
+- frozen runtime composition requires adjacent `mise.lock` evidence;
+- frozen mode enables locked operation, ignores `.tool-versions`, and isolates user/system mise configuration beneath `.zed/dev/mise`;
+- `mise.toml` has deterministic precedence when both supported config names exist;
+- `.mise.toml` uses the same adjacent `mise.lock` contract;
+- configuration discovery cannot escape the owning Git checkout;
+- Zed and mise activation markers prevent recursive re-entry; and
+- the exact child exit status survives both `mise exec` and `zed dev`.
+
+The harness also checks that project-local Zed binaries remain ahead of inherited PATH entries while a mise-selected tool remains callable.
+
+## Local execution
+
+Build the exact candidate and run:
+
+```bash
+cargo build --locked --release --manifest-path ../zed-cli/Cargo.toml --bin zed
+bash scripts/mise_runtime.sh \
+  --zed ../zed-cli/target/release/zed \
+  --work-root /tmp/zed-mise-runtime
+```
+
+The work root must not already exist. On success, the harness emits TAP-style assertions followed by a machine-readable summary. On failure, it prints the exact failing assertion; GitHub Actions also uploads the disposable project tree and toolchain diagnostics.
+
+## Promotion gate
+
+Keep this pull request draft until:
+
+1. `zed-pkg/zed-cli#70` has a final immutable head;
+2. the workflow pin matches that head exactly;
+3. Ubuntu and macOS runtime jobs pass on that pin;
+4. the static suite in `zed-pkg-e2e#7` remains green for its own declared surface;
+5. ordinary `zed-cli` CI, development-shell, policy, and hardening checks are green; and
+6. DEN-1420 and DEN-1449 link both pull requests and their exact candidate SHA.

+# Native dependency provenance lockfile canary
+
+This canary proves that exact source-aware npm/Cargo resolutions can be stored in
+`.zpkg.lock`, read back without reinterpretation, and consumed by the current
+Zed CLI interface boundary.
+
+## Exact lockfile behavior
+
+The external Rust consumer verifies:
+
+- legacy lockfile version 1 documents remain readable with no native entries;
+- npm and Cargo exact locks serialize as `[[native-dependency]]` tables;
+- the original declaration, canonical requirement, exact version, digest, size,
+  and format round trip;
+- insertion order does not change emitted TOML;
+- npm and Cargo packages with the same textual name remain separate identities;
+- upsert replaces only `(registry, package.name)`;
+- duplicate native identities fail during write and parse;
+- requirement-receipt drift fails during upsert; and
+- malformed artifact identity fails before serialization.
+
+## Interface gates
+
+The workflow pins one exact `zed-interfaces` commit and requires:
+
+- rustfmt check;
+- checked-in lockfile JSON Schema drift rejection;
+- complete locked interface target tests;
+- Clippy with warnings denied; and
+- an external consumer built and executed offline after the interface build.
+
+## Current CLI compatibility
+
+The canary also pins the current reviewed `zed-cli` commit. In a disposable
+checkout it replaces only the `zed-interfaces` Git dependency with the exact
+candidate path, then runs `cargo check --all-targets` and
+`cargo test --all-targets --no-run`.
+
+This makes the additive serialized change and the Rust source-level field
+addition explicit. No CLI source changes are committed by the canary.
+
+## Isolation
+
+- immutable 40-character interface and CLI pins;
+- read-only repository permissions;
+- no persisted checkout credentials;
+- immutable third-party Action pins;
+- no registry publication or credentials; and
+- evidence containing schema digest, consumer lock, exact commits, CLI path
+  dependency patch, and source-tree status.
+
+## Stack
+
+The canary branch is stacked on the fully certified native dependency range and
+lifecycle repair branches. After those bases land, retarget this PR to `main`
+without changing the exact product commit or consumer behavior.

 The work root is disposable. Reusing the same path is safe because the harness
 requires a fresh root and GitHub-hosted jobs receive a new runner filesystem.
 
+## Durable first-install acceptance
+
+`.github/workflows/durable-first-install-polyglot.yml` verifies the default
+manifest-creation contract against immutable real Go, Python, and Rust
+app/library pairs on Linux and macOS. It is intentionally separate from the full
+lifecycle matrix because it removes each consumer's authored `.zpkg.toml` before
+installation and treats the resulting generated manifest as the artifact under
+test.
+
+For every ecosystem, `scripts/durable-first-install-polyglot.sh`:
+
+- publishes the pinned library to a fresh credential-free `file://` registry;
+- invokes `zed install` from a nested directory below the native project root;
+- verifies that one deterministic, non-publishable `.zpkg.toml` is created only
+  at the inferred root;
+- checks inferred target and adapter metadata plus the direct dependency;
+- compares an explicit `@^1.0.0` install with an unversioned latest-resolution
+  install and requires byte-identical manifest and lockfile output;
+- executes the real native application through Go, Python, or Cargo;
+- proves copy-mode output contains no symlinks;
+- uninstalls materialized content while retaining managed state; and
+- performs a frozen nested-directory reinstall without changing manifest or
+  lockfile bytes.
+
+All source repositories, the CLI implementation, the shared interface contract,
+and third-party actions are pinned to immutable commit SHAs. Each matrix entry
+owns isolated registry, home, build, consumer, and diagnostics directories.
+
+Run one ecosystem locally after building the selected CLI:
+
+```bash
+bash scripts/durable-first-install-polyglot.sh \
+  ../zed-cli/target/release/zed \
+  go \
+  ../go-lib \
+  ../go-app \
+  /tmp/zed-durable-go
+```

+# External standalone Nix flake-bundle canary
+
+Tracking: DEN-1422, DEN-1508, DEN-1418, DEN-1411
+
+This repository independently certifies the public standalone-flake renderer from
+`zed-pkg/zed-cli`. Here, **Zed** means the independent `zed-pkg` package manager;
+it is unrelated to the Zed text editor.
+
+The canary is intentionally outside the implementation repository. It pins one
+exact 40-character `zed-cli` commit, checks out that commit with persisted Git
+credentials disabled, and injects one temporary integration test that uses only
+the public `zed_cli::nix_export_bundle` and `zed_cli::nix_export_plan` APIs. The
+temporary test is removed before source-checkout cleanliness is asserted.
+
+## Contract under test
+
+The external consumer creates a deterministic prebuilt executable artifact and
+an explicit strict-v1 export plan, then renders the same bundle twice into two
+fresh absolute directories. It requires byte-identical output containing only:
+
+- `flake.nix`;
+- the exact immutable `flake.lock`;
+- `package.nix`;
+- `README.md`;
+- the exact Zed artifact;
+- canonical `metadata/plan.json`; and
+- canonical `metadata/bundle.json`.
+
+The independent Python verifier does not call implementation helpers. It checks:
+
+- the exact strict-v1 file set;
+- safe relative paths, regular files, no symlinks, and canonical persisted modes;
+- canonical compact JSON;
+- sorted, unique inventory paths;
+- every recorded file size and SHA-256;
+- exact plan and flake-lock digests;
+- the domain-separated `zed.nix-flake-bundle/v1` digest;
+- byte-identical replay across clean output directories;
+- absence of credential and absolute-path canaries; and
+- binding between the retained external report and the canonical bundle record.
+
+## Negative coverage
+
+The public renderer must reject:
+
+1. a wrong Zed artifact digest;
+2. a mutable Nixpkgs revision;
+3. a symbolic-link archive entry;
+4. a declared binary without executable mode; and
+5. dependency edges that strict bundle v1 does not yet support.
+
+The in-memory validator and the independent persisted verifier separately reject:
+
+1. changed `package.nix`;
+2. a missing artifact;
+3. an unrecorded extra file;
+4. changed `flake.lock`; and
+5. noncanonical or modified bundle metadata.
+
+Assertions are not converted to warnings or skipped unsupported behavior.
+
+## Real Nix replay
+
+On Ubuntu 24.04 and macOS 15, the workflow performs one explicit
+`nix flake archive --no-update-lock-file` preparation step for each generated
+bundle. It then runs `nix flake check` and `nix build` offline with lock updates
+disabled. Both clean-room bundles must resolve to the same output path. The
+resulting executable runs with no `zed` command on `PATH`, and the output closure
+must not retain a `zed-cli` or `zed-pkg` runtime dependency.
+
+## CI and evidence policy
+
+The workflow has top-level `contents: read`, uses only commit-pinned Actions,
+disables persisted checkout credentials, consumes no repository secret, grants
+no OIDC or package permission, and never commits or pushes. Successful jobs
+retain only non-secret hashes, systems, selected output evidence, and Nix path
+information for seven days. Failure diagnostics are retained for three days.
+
+The candidate pin may be overridden manually only with another exact lowercase
+40-character commit. Promotion to a durable baseline requires review and a
+follow-up pin to the exact post-merge implementation commit.
+
+## Stack and merge order
+
+This PR is stacked on the external plan canary because a complete Zed → Nix
+acceptance path is ordered as:
+
+1. immutable frozen plan;
+2. pure deterministic bundle rendering;
+3. independently verified persistence and replay;
+4. offline Nix evaluation/build; and
+5. later adapter attestation, overlay/cache publication, and registry storage.
+
+The canary does not claim that locked dependency-graph assembly, source-builder
+inference, overlay publication, signed binary caches, or upstream Nixpkgs
+submission are complete. Those remain separately reviewed contracts.

 ## Stack
 
-The canary branch is stacked on the fully certified native dependency range and
-lifecycle repair branches. After those bases land, retarget this PR to `main`
-without changing the exact product commit or consumer behavior.
+The native dependency range canary branch now contains its reviewed lifecycle
+repair as a real merge parent rather than only as pull-request metadata. The
+exact inherited base commit is
+`61a1216ee6ef2e2c7fc95bed2c6e4160e384cf4d`, whose parents are the range canary
+head and lifecycle repair head.
+
+This lockfile canary is based on that branch. Fresh pull-request workflows after
+this documentation commit therefore exercise the exact combined source-map,
+native-range, and lockfile tree. Earlier runs that began before the ancestry
+correction are not used as final regression evidence.
+
+After the stacked bases land, retarget this PR to `main` without changing the

+
+This split is deliberate. An empty Nix store does not contain the immutable
+Nixpkgs/stdenv closure. Asking it to build offline immediately tests whether a
+hosted runner can bootstrap all of Nixpkgs from source, not whether the generated
+Zed package is reproducible or network-independent after its declared closure is
+available. The one online realization is therefore a visible input-acquisition
+boundary; every replay assertion after that boundary is offline and lock-preserving.

+# External Zed → Nix plan certification
+
+Tracking: DEN-1411, DEN-1418, DEN-1422
+
+This repository tests deterministic Nix export planning outside the `zed-cli`
+implementation repository. `.zed-nix-plan-cli-ref` pins one exact 40-character
+CLI commit. The workflow builds that commit and runs it against immutable clean
+checkouts of real `zed-pkg-test/node-lib` and `zed-pkg-test/polyglot-lib`
+fixtures on Ubuntu 24.04 and macOS 15.
+
+The reviewed inputs for this candidate are:
+
+- `zed-pkg/zed-cli@d8a2217edde8fa8c0a51f1db92e6f0b2b77296f5` from current-main planner PR #82;
+- `zed-pkg-test/node-lib@222cdf57f48530fce8e6c1f58632d9676203512e`;
+- `zed-pkg-test/polyglot-lib@998964aa58e49595547650b4a8da407b7a2283a9`;
+- `zed-pkg/zed-interfaces@c2e049006453c26ca8ca291783f681fce75cb01f`.
+
+The candidate contains the merged install-shaped Zed→Nix bridge, pure Nix
+evaluation ratchet, resolver-only `zed fetch`, resolver-only Nix FOD, and the
+read-only planner. It is constructed from current `main` by a two-parent semantic
+merge and contains only the eight planner-specific paths. It does not restore
+obsolete Cargo pins, temporary branch-writing workflows, or stale fetch fixtures.
+
+The canary proves:
+
+- identical package bytes at different absolute paths emit identical compact
+  `zed.nix-export-plan/v1` JSON;
+- exact manifest and lock digests are retained;
+- packed artifact identity is stable and path-independent;
+- systems are normalized deterministically;
+- a real prebuilt executable appears in source and packed artifact;
+- token, Supabase key, registry credentials, home, and workspace paths do not
+  enter the plan;
+- planning never creates the configured global Zed home;
+- fixture checkouts and disposable package copies remain unchanged;
+- a manifest comment changes both exact-manifest and artifact identity;
+- missing locks and source build hooks fail with actionable diagnostics;
+- a polyglot package requires explicit target selection;
+- target synonyms resolve to the same canonical target and plan;
+- isolated Node and Rust targets are re-rooted to published identities; and
+- different target payloads do not collapse to one artifact identity.
+
+The workflow verifies that the built CLI and both fixtures resolve to exact pins,
+that Cargo uses the reviewed immutable interface revision, and that all three
+checkouts remain clean after the canary.
+
+The workflow has top-level `contents: read`, uses only commit-pinned Actions,
+disables persisted checkout credentials, accepts only a full immutable manual
+CLI override, grants no OIDC or package-write permission, and uploads bounded
+failure diagnostics only when an assertion fails. Its policy check scans the
+entire workflow while constructing denylist tokens from fragments, avoiding
+false self-matches without weakening checks against write permissions, pushes,
+`pull_request_target`, secret inheritance, OIDC/package writes, or mutable
+fixture refs.
+
+Before this canary merges to `main`, `.zed-nix-plan-cli-ref` must be advanced to
+the final merged planner commit. Scheduled or dispatch-driven certification must
+never depend on a mutable branch or pull-request merge ref.

Subject: [PATCH 0256/1172] test(DEN-1505/DEN-1585): certify recursive,
 recovery, workspace, and org installs

Land the semantically composed independent certification harness after all eight exact-head workflows passed, including the live browser registry/API/web journey. Preserve current main's stricter fail-closed lifecycle cleanup. This merge certifies the immutable zed-cli stack; the separate current-main implementation integration remains open in zed-cli#84.

-PR #24 is the canonical shared-schema lifecycle/source-map correction. It classifies `shared-schema` as a package fixture, maps `zedtest/shared-schema`, removes only the exact untracked publish archive with fail-closed checks, and has a green 22-fixture lifecycle matrix. The runtime suite does not duplicate those changes.

-After PR #24 merges, retarget this pull request to `main` without changing the immutable `zed-cli` candidate, then require the same runtime and ordinary lifecycle checks on the new synthetic merge.
+That baseline classifies `shared-schema` as a package fixture, maps `zedtest/shared-schema`, removes only the exact untracked publish archive with fail-closed checks, and passed the complete 22-fixture lifecycle matrix. This runtime suite is now based directly on `main`; it does not duplicate or carry a private copy of the lifecycle repair.
 
 ## Immutable candidate
 
 `.github/workflows/mise-runtime.yml` builds a full 40-character `zed-cli` commit pin and runs the same black-box harness on Ubuntu 24.04 and macOS 15. The workflow does not install mise or download language runtimes. Instead, it supplies a deterministic executable stub whose arguments and relevant environment values are observable.
 
-The current candidate is `12fa84f11cef7ce2783683d6efc5b79409f62be7`, the exact clean head of `zed-pkg/zed-cli#70`. Update the pin whenever that pull request changes, and never promote this certification against a branch name or abbreviated SHA.
+The current candidate is `854b55c348307d00e2fd2ec8309792c249208192`, the current-main integration head of `zed-pkg/zed-cli#70`. That head preserves the six reviewed mise runtime paths while incorporating the merged recursive installer, strict frozen lock/fetch, Nix export/fetch/flake, OCI, and related current-main history. Update the pin whenever that pull request changes, and never promote this certification against a branch name or abbreviated SHA.

+# Complete constraint-solver black-box canary
+
+Linear: [DEN-1553](https://linear.app/denman/issue/DEN-1553/zed-cli-solve-overlapping-compatible-transitive-constraints-before)
+
+Product candidate: `zed-pkg/zed-cli#89`.
+
+## Purpose
+
+This canary verifies the complete one-version dependency solver through the
+public `zed` executable, immutable package artifacts, an isolated `file://`
+registry, real lockfile publication, and normal symlink materialization. It is
+separate from the solver's in-crate tests so a graph-selection result cannot
+pass only because an internal helper and its test share the same mistake.
+
+## Certified graphs
+
+### Overlapping compatible ranges
+
+```text
+consumer
+├── overlap-left@1.0.0  -> overlap-shared ^1
+└── overlap-right@1.0.0 -> overlap-shared <=1.5.0
+
+published overlap-shared: 1.5.0, 1.9.0
+```
+
+The only common solution is `overlap-shared@1.5.0`. The canary installs the
+same consumer with opposite TOML dependency order and requires byte-identical
+lockfiles. It then publishes `overlap-shared@1.10.0` and proves a fresh frozen
+replay still consumes the exact locked `1.5.0` graph without re-solving.
+
+### Multi-coordinate backtracking
+
+```text
+backtrack-a@1.1.0 -> backtrack-x =2.0.0
+backtrack-a@1.0.0 -> backtrack-x =1.0.0
+backtrack-b@1.1.0 -> backtrack-x =1.0.0
+backtrack-b@1.0.0 -> backtrack-x =2.0.0
+consumer -> backtrack-a ^1, backtrack-b ^1
+```
+
+Newest-first selection initially chooses incompatible `a@1.1.0` and
+`b@1.1.0`. The stable solution is `a@1.1.0`, `b@1.0.0`, and `x@2.0.0`.
+
+### Rejected-candidate constraint removal
+
+The newest `stale-chooser` candidate contributes both a conflicting shared
+version and an `stale-obsolete` dependency. A peer forces the other shared
+version. The canary requires the solver to backtrack to the older chooser,
+materialize `stale-replacement`, and omit `stale-obsolete` from both the lock
+and project tree.
+
+Candidate artifact downloads that occurred during search may remain in the
+immutable global store. Only project materialization and the selected lock
+graph are required to exclude rejected candidates.
+
+### Deterministic unsatisfiable provenance
+
+Two package paths require mutually exclusive exact versions of one shared
+package. The canary runs opposite root declaration orders and requires:
+
+- failure before project transaction or lockfile publication;
+- both complete provenance paths in the diagnostic; and
+- byte-identical normalized error output.
+
+### Dependency cycles
+
+A two-package cycle must terminate with exactly one selected version for each
+coordinate and materialize both packages once.
+
+## Acquisition and replay boundaries
+
+The canary retains the existing recursive-installer contracts while exercising
+the new solver:
+
+- the reported worker bound remains five;
+- selected artifacts use the existing per-SHA acquisition and global store;
+- project output remains symlink-first;
+- warm frozen replay downloads zero artifacts;
+- fresh frozen replay uses the exact lock graph;
+- failure does not create `.zpkg.lock`, `zed_modules`, or transaction staging.
+
+The workflow uses one hosted Ubuntu job by default to conserve Actions usage.
+A manual `run_arc_smoke` input repeats the same executable canary on the
+registered `sonus-ci` self-hosted ARC scale set, providing a direct parity lane
+for the AWS/Hetzner continuity infrastructure without making PR checks wait for
+an unregistered runner.
+
+## Promotion rule
+
+Keep this pull request draft while the product candidate is still moving.
+Whenever `zed-cli#89` advances, update the immutable `ZED_CLI_REF` only, rerun
+this canary, and record the exact head and workflow evidence on DEN-1553.
+Do not weaken graph or diagnostic assertions to make a candidate pass.

Subject: [PATCH 0274/1172] ci(DEN-1553): remove obsolete repin bootstrap

The permanent certification workflow and evidence now pin final trusted product head 3ab7656d6dedc28066e1ffe5d40db583b355d04b directly. This one-shot helper targeted the earlier Actions-authored solver commit and would either fail its exact two-match guard or regress the candidate pin. Remove it before promotion; the final canary remains read-only.

Subject: [PATCH 0281/1172] test(DEN-1553): require selected-only overlap
 acquisition

Restore the canonical overlap expectation to three resolved, five-worker capacity, and exactly three downloaded selected artifacts. Prove the final shallowest-frontier product candidate through both public-CLI black-box canaries before publishing, then remove this temporary helper.

+# Authenticated ORAS push certification
+
+This suite certifies the first mutating OCI transport boundary in `zed-cli`.
+It starts from a Zed-generated OCI image layout, pushes that exact layout to a
+throwaway basic-auth registry through ORAS, and independently resolves the
+remote tag back to the expected SHA-256 manifest digest.
+
+The test deliberately does **not** publish to GHCR or any persistent company
+registry. The registry, username, password, repository, and tags exist only for
+the duration of one GitHub Actions job.
+
+## Security contract
+
+`zed oci push` must select exactly one authentication source:
+
+1. `--username` with `--password-stdin`;
+2. an explicit `--registry-config`; or
+3. `--anonymous`.
+
+The command is not permitted to discover credentials implicitly from
+`~/.docker/config.json`, `$DOCKER_CONFIG/config.json`, Zed registry credentials,
+or shared-auth session state. The password-stdin path creates a temporary
+Docker-compatible registry config with mode `0600`, passes that exact file to
+ORAS, and removes it before returning.
+
+The representative authenticated push runs under `strace`. The suite fails if
+it observes an open of an implicit Docker or Zed credential file. Password text
+is never included in command arguments or structured evidence, and the harness
+fails if it appears in stdout, stderr, syscall evidence, or the evidence JSON.
+
+## Registry and transport contract
+
+The workflow starts an isolated Docker Distribution registry on loopback with
+bcrypt-backed HTTP Basic Authentication. `--plain-http` is accepted only because
+the destination host is `127.0.0.1`; a non-loopback plain-HTTP destination must
+fail before ORAS transport begins.
+
+The candidate must:
+
+1. verify every local OCI descriptor, blob size, SHA-256, media type, and exact
+   blob-set membership;
+2. require the layout tag to match the destination tag;
+3. resolve the existing remote tag through ORAS;
+4. copy the layout with `oras cp --from-oci-layout` and an explicit destination
+   registry config;
+5. resolve the remote tag again; and
+6. return success only when the remote digest equals the verified local
+   manifest digest.
+
+## Mutation semantics
+
+The contract exercises three remote states:
+
+| State | Required result |
+| --- | --- |
+| tag missing | `pushed` |
+| tag already resolves to the same digest | `already-present`, without another copy |
+| tag resolves to a different digest | fail unless `--allow-tag-replacement` is explicit |
+
+After an explicitly permitted replacement, independent ORAS resolution must
+return the second layout's digest. A refused replacement must leave the first
+digest untouched.
+
+## Negative coverage
+
+The black-box harness also proves that:
+
+- a tampered package blob is rejected before ORAS is executed;
+- omitting all authentication modes fails closed;
+- plain HTTP is rejected for a non-loopback registry;
+- source fixtures and unrecoverable transaction sentinels remain unchanged;
+- no persistent `.zed/pack` directory is produced; and
+- no `zed-oci-auth-*` temporary directory remains after success or failure.
+
+## Reproducibility
+
+The workflow pins the exact `zed-cli` candidate and fixture commits, pins every
+GitHub Action to an immutable commit, requests a specific stable ORAS release,
+builds with the candidate's checked-in Cargo lockfile, and grants only
+`contents: read`.
+
+Structured command evidence, syscall evidence, the registry logs, and the exact
+resolved final digest are uploaded for seven days. No real registry secret is
+used or retained.
+
+## Deliberately deferred
+
+This contract does not yet cover:
+
+- digest-verified pull and restore;
+- recursive referrer copy;
+- SPDX, CycloneDX, in-toto, or signature attachment;
+- cloud-registry-specific identity federation;
+- client certificates or identity-token authentication; or
+- multi-platform index publication across several Zed targets.

+# Version and native-publication interoperability corpus
+
+This contract converts the strict native-registry rules in
+`zed-pkg/zed-interfaces` into reusable data plus an external Rust consumer. It
+is stacked on the independent native-registry contract canary so future CLI,
+server, SDK, and publication-plan work can reuse one reviewed set of edge cases.
+
+## Immutable product pin
+
+The corpus certifies exactly:
+
+```text
+zed-pkg/zed-interfaces@8bcbcbe9377760c9a8843b75daff54e92c1bf6d2
+```
+
+The same 40-character commit appears in `cases.json`, the Rust consumer, and the
+workflow environment. CI rejects disagreement among those pins.
+
+## Data sets
+
+`fixtures/version-interop-corpus/cases.json` contains:
+
+- three SemVer precedence projections with build metadata removed;
+- four collision and non-collision pairs;
+- a valid npm generic-wrapper family with Linux/ARM64/musl and Darwin/ARM64
+  packages;
+- a valid portable Cargo package; and
+- nineteen fail-closed mutations.
+
+The negative corpus covers schema/version drift, malformed native names,
+platform-selector topology, meta-to-platform references, duplicate identities,
+artifact digest shape, and zero-byte artifacts.
+
+## Assertions
+
+The external consumer proves that:
+
+1. build metadata never differentiates precedence identity;
+2. prerelease identity still participates in precedence;
+3. valid npm and Cargo records survive canonical JSON round trips;
+4. publication and platform-selector ordering do not change canonical bytes;
+5. each negative mutation returns the exact expected public error class; and
+6. the corpus cannot shrink without an explicit source change.
+
+## Isolation
+
+The workflow checks out the product commit without persisted credentials, builds
+and tests the complete interface crate, generates a fixture lockfile, and then
+runs the external consumer offline. Repository permissions are read-only and all
+third-party Actions use immutable commits. No npm, crates.io, OCI, or Zed
+registry is contacted or mutated.
+
+Evidence includes the checked corpus, its SHA-256, the generated consumer lock,
+the exact product commit, command output, and clean-tree status.
+
+## Local shape
+
+With `zed-interfaces` checked out as a sibling of the harness repository:
+
+```sh
+cargo test --locked --manifest-path ../zed-interfaces/Cargo.toml --all-targets
+cargo generate-lockfile --offline \
+  --manifest-path fixtures/version-interop-corpus/Cargo.toml
+cargo run --locked --offline \
+  --manifest-path fixtures/version-interop-corpus/Cargo.toml
+```
+
+The fixture is not a publisher. It validates the shared planning and identity
+boundary that a later credential-bearing `apply` implementation must recheck.

+# mise frozen identity certification
+
+This suite certifies the next read-only mise parity slice after the merged Tier-1 import/verify contract.
+
+`zed-pkg` is an independent multi-language package manager and is unrelated to the Zed editor. Here, `zed` means the `zed-pkg` CLI.
+
+## Scope
+
+`scripts/mise_frozen_identity.py` runs the real immutable CLI with an empty `PATH` and verifies that frozen project-local mise state fails closed when its declared identity is incomplete or inconsistent.
+
+The certified checks are:
+
+- every applicable platform requested through `settings.lockfile_platforms` exists for every configured tool;
+- a tool-level `os` constraint limits which requested platforms apply;
+- a backend-qualified configuration such as `aqua:jqlang/jq` equals the lock's backend identity;
+- the resolved lock version satisfies the authored exact, boundary-prefix, or supported SemVer-range requirement;
+- a plain prefix such as `22` accepts `22.4.0` but rejects `220.0.0`;
+- unsupported manager-specific range syntax fails closed rather than being approximated;
+- successful and failing verification remain read-only; and
+- no ambient mise executable or global configuration is required.
+
+## Deliberate boundary
+
+This suite does not claim complete current `mise.lock` parity. It does not yet certify option-dependent multiple identities, `install`, `url_api`, verified provenance, additional artifacts, shared conda/pkgx dependency sections, deterministic export, or import/export/import round trips. Those remain tracked by DEN-1461 and the remaining DEN-1481 work.
+
+## Promotion gate
+
+The final workflow must pin a full 40-character `zed-cli` commit and run on Ubuntu 24.04, macOS 15, and Windows Server 2025. Promotion requires:
+
+1. the implementation PR's exact-head repository workflows to be green;
+2. this black-box harness and the existing static mise harnesses to pass on all three platforms;
+3. strict all-target Clippy with warnings denied;
+4. ordinary lifecycle, recursive-install, browser, install-boundary, and runtime-mise workflows to remain green; and
+5. exact implementation and certification commits to be recorded in DEN-1481, DEN-1461, and the canonical mise policy document.

+# Git-submodule interoperability canary
+
+This repository independently certifies the Git-submodule surface shipped by
+`zed-pkg/zed-cli` rather than relying only on the CLI repository's unit and
+integration tests.
+
+The workflow pins the exact merged CLI commit
+`ef4e461a57203016ae9ac4d1d38849e7e8d508e0` and its exact interface contract
+`c2e049006453c26ca8ca291783f681fce75cb01f`. It builds that source on Ubuntu
+24.04 and macOS 15, then creates every Git repository and package registry below
+the runner's temporary directory. It uses no account, token, public registry,
+or persistent package namespace.
+
+## Contract
+
+`scripts/git_submodule_interop.py` verifies eight black-box behaviors:
+
+1. `--git-submodules=false` overrides an inherited
+   `ZED_PKG_GIT_SUBMODULES=1` setting.
+2. `zed install --git-submodules` initializes top-level and nested submodules
+   recursively from a fresh clone.
+3. `zed overtake --git-submodules` imports the package as an exact workspace
+   member and direct dependency and records immutable `[[git-submodule]]`
+   provenance.
+4. A second fresh clone can run `zed install --git-submodules --frozen`
+   without changing one lockfile byte.
+5. Dirty submodule content is rejected without lockfile mutation.
+6. Committed `.gitmodules` branch drift is rejected without lockfile mutation.
+7. A pre-commit resolution failure restores the exact authored root-manifest
+   bytes and leaves no lock, modules tree, or transaction staging state.
+8. The same failure removes a takeover-generated manifest when the project had
+   no manifest before migration.
+
+The fixture graph contains a nested local-path submodule, so recursion is tested
+with real Git commands rather than mocked process output. Local file transport is
+enabled only through the acceptance process's explicit Git configuration
+environment; interactive prompting and package-registry credentials are disabled.
+
+## Evidence
+
+Each operating-system job retains:
+
+- the complete command transcript;
+- the adopted lockfile;
+- the release binary SHA-256;
+- the exact CLI version; and
+- the list of certified contract checks.
+
+The workflow has only `contents: read`, disables persisted checkout credentials,
+and pins every third-party Action to a full commit SHA. The repository's existing
+full lifecycle workflow also consumes `.zed-cli-ref`, so advancing that file in
+the same pull request runs the exact merged CLI across all 22 fixture repositories.

Subject: [PATCH 0313/1172] test(DEN-1579): certify current-main Dart package
 wiring

Rebase the acceptance lane semantically onto current E2E main and pin the exact clean zed-cli implementation head. Preserve the immutable real Dart fixtures, Linux/macOS SDK matrix, durable first-install checks, native pub identity assertion, offline execution, and frozen restore coverage.

+# Git-submodule interoperability canary
+
+This canary independently certifies the mixed Git/Zed submodule behavior in
+`zed-pkg/zed-cli#105`. It runs outside the product repository against one exact
+immutable CLI commit:
+
+```text
+zed-pkg/zed-cli@043ab2b8d08e2073dd6b0a2d8ca1aeca87f76b87
+```
+
+The product feature builds on the merged cooperative-install and takeover work
+in `zed-pkg/zed-cli#96` plus the failure-atomic migration hardening in #101.
+
+## Contract under test
+
+A superproject may use Git submodules for different purposes at the same time:
+
+- a submodule containing a valid `.zpkg.toml` can be adopted into the root Zed
+  workspace, direct dependency intent, deterministic materialization, and
+  additive `[[git-submodule]]` lock provenance;
+- a submodule without `.zpkg.toml` remains Git-managed and never appears in the
+  Zed manifest or lock; and
+- ordinary `zed install --git-submodules` still initializes every configured
+  Git submodule, whether Zed adopted it or not.
+
+Missing package intent is the only skip condition. A present but invalid package
+manifest remains an error.
+
+## Black-box scenarios
+
+`scripts/git_submodule_interop.py` creates real local Git repositories and runs
+the compiled public `zed` executable. It does not call Rust library internals.
+
+### Mixed takeover and frozen replay
+
+The harness creates one Zed package submodule and one ordinary Git-only
+submodule, then verifies:
+
+1. `zed overtake --git-submodules` adopts exactly one package;
+2. the Git-only path is reported and absent from `.zpkg.toml` and `.zpkg.lock`;
+3. the adopted package has exact workspace/dependency intent and immutable Git
+   lock provenance;
+4. the resulting Zed manifest and lock can be committed normally;
+5. a fresh `git clone --no-recurse-submodules` starts with neither submodule
+   initialized;
+6. `ZED_PKG_GIT_SUBMODULES=yes zed install --frozen` initializes both
+   submodules;
+7. frozen replay preserves committed manifest and lock bytes exactly; and
+8. the adopted package is materialized through `zed_modules`, while the ordinary
+   submodule remains solely Git-managed.
+
+### Git-only migration boundary
+
+A repository whose only submodule has no `.zpkg.toml` is synchronized, but
+`overtake` returns an actionable failure and does not create or change:
+
+- `.zpkg.toml`;
+- `.zpkg.lock`;
+- `zed_modules/`; or
+- `.zpkg-staging/`.
+
+This distinguishes intentional Git transport side effects from Zed authority
+migration.
+
+### Invalid package boundary
+
+A submodule containing malformed `.zpkg.toml` is not silently treated as
+Git-only. Takeover fails before changing the root manifest, producing a lock, or
+materializing a package.
+
+## Workflow gates
+
+`.github/workflows/git-submodule-interop.yml`:
+
+- requires a full 40-character CLI pin;
+- uses read-only repository permissions;
+- pins checkout and artifact Actions to immutable commits;
+- disables persisted checkout credentials;
+- compiles the Python canary;
+- checks both repositories with `git diff --check`;
+- runs product `rustfmt`, the focused real-binary integration test, and
+  all-target Clippy with warnings denied;
+- builds the exact release executable;
+- runs the independent black-box harness from a fresh work root;
+- requires clean harness and product source trees afterward; and
+- uploads bounded result or failure evidence for 14 days.
+
+The normal gate uses Ubuntu 24.04. A manually dispatched optional job can run the
+same canary on the registered `[self-hosted, linux, sonus-ci]` ARC scale set when
+hosted Actions capacity is constrained.
+
+No registry account, package namespace, GitHub token, cloud credential, Docker
+daemon, or persistent runner state participates. All package and submodule
+transports are disposable local filesystem repositories.
+
+## Local execution
+
+Build the pinned CLI and run the canary from sibling checkouts:
+
+```bash
+cargo build --locked --release \
+  --manifest-path ../zed-cli/Cargo.toml \
+  --bin zed
+
+python3 scripts/git_submodule_interop.py \
+  --zed ../zed-cli/target/release/zed \
+  --work-root /tmp/zed-git-submodule-interop
+```
+
+The work root must not already exist. It is retained on failure for inspection.

 - successful and failing verification remain read-only; and

Failure diagnostics preserve all three disposable work roots plus toolchain and checkout state.
+
 ## Deliberate boundary
 
 This suite does not claim complete current `mise.lock` parity. It does not yet certify option-dependent multiple identities, `install`, `url_api`, verified provenance, additional artifacts, shared conda/pkgx dependency sections, deterministic export, or import/export/import round trips. Those remain tracked by DEN-1461 and the remaining DEN-1481 work.
 
 ## Promotion gate
 
-The final workflow must pin a full 40-character `zed-cli` commit and run on Ubuntu 24.04, macOS 15, and Windows Server 2025. Promotion requires:

+# Complete current `mise.lock` certification
+
+This suite independently checks the exact `zed-pkg/zed-cli` candidate that
+implements the complete current project-local `mise.lock` identity contract.
+The workflow pins a full commit SHA and never follows a mutable branch.
+
+## Certified behavior
+
+Across Ubuntu 24.04, macOS 15, and Windows Server 2025, the suite requires:
+
+- compilation of the complete lock model;
+- strict formatting and all-target Clippy with warnings denied;
+- unit and public consumer tests;
+- option-dependent and multi-version tool identities;
+- compact and detailed platform representations;
+- conda/pkgx shared-package references;
+- ordered additional release artifacts;
+- provenance and verification-state relationships;
+- deterministic TOML/canonical JSON round trips;
+- stable semantic SHA-256 identity;
+- credential, fragment, and secret-query URL rejection;
+- malformed/missing checksum rejection in frozen-portable mode; and
+- explicit rejection of source-only restore state in portable locks.
+
+The deterministic canaries run again after the ordinary focused targets so a
+passing aggregate gate cannot be produced solely by test filtering mistakes.
+
+## Claim boundary
+
+This suite certifies the manager-lock contract, not native installation or
+shell activation. It does not claim that `zed env import mise` consumes every
+represented field yet. Integration into import/verify, native `EnvironmentLock`
+translation, deterministic export, and clean-room offline replay remain
+separate gates.
+
+Implementation: `zed-pkg/zed-cli#109`
+
+Tracking: DEN-1461, DEN-1481, DEN-1462.

+# Cross-organization Windows `zed develop` canary
+
+This repository is the fixture-backed release acceptance boundary for Zed. The
+workflow `.github/workflows/windows-develop-clean-room.yml` independently runs
+the Windows shell contract owned by `zed-pkg/zed-e2e` against one immutable
+merged `zed-cli` commit.
+
+## Why this is separate
+
+`zed-pkg/zed-cli` owns implementation tests. `zed-pkg/zed-e2e` owns the primary
+external clean-room contract. This repository adds a third release perspective:
+it checks out that exact external contract from another organization and proves
+it can build and exercise the merged CLI without branch-local helpers, private
+credentials, a registry service, or state retained from an earlier job.
+
+The canary is additive. It does not replace the primary E2E workflow or permit a
+failed primary check to be ignored.
+
+## Immutable inputs
+
+```text
+zed-e2e        2a7524efca3300495dd4f8c438fd666c1b24f0a1
+zed-cli        fd3b3e487b2bdd129dd67403ad51f7299cfe6828
+zed-interfaces c2e049006453c26ca8ca291783f681fce75cb01f
+flags-2-env    2f62e40932a0fcb8b9bf1b4c84473e34fa3c51c7
+```
+
+Every source and third-party Action is pinned to a full commit. Pin changes are
+reviewed changes and require a complete replay.
+
+## Contract
+
+On `windows-2022`, the canary builds the real `zed.exe` and imports the exact
+policy and functional harness from the pinned E2E commit. It verifies:
+
+- canonical `develop` / `dev` equivalence;
+- PowerShell profile suppression and child exit propagation;
+- cmd.exe `/D /S /C`, selected cwd, managed environment, and `ERRORLEVEL`;
+- default `COMSPEC` behavior;
+- project-local Python virtual environments through `Scripts` and `sys.prefix`;
+- isolated HOME and USERPROFILE without credential copying;
+- no implicit dotenv, PowerShell profile, registry-token, or provider-secret
+  loading;
+- bounded `--no-install` writes;
+- actionable failure diagnostics;
+- read-only workflow permissions and immutable source pins; and
+- clean source checkouts without reset or cleanup-based masking.
+
+The cmd.exe fixture uses fixed relative batch names under the runner-temporary
+child cwd. One batch performs native statements; the launcher captures and
+returns its `ERRORLEVEL`. This avoids adding an incidental absolute-path quoting
+contract while preserving the product behavior under test.
+
+## Evidence
+
+The workflow stores only the bounded environment identity file and the
+machine-readable clean-room report for seven days. It scans every retained file
+for all fake credential canaries before upload. Temporary homes, virtual
+environments, source checkouts, and batch fixtures are not retained.
+
+The owning Linear issues are DEN-1614, DEN-1616, and DEN-1634. The implementation
+merged through `zed-pkg/zed-cli#100`; the primary external contract is
+`zed-pkg/zed-e2e#16`.

 # Git-submodule interoperability canary
 
-This repository independently certifies the Git-submodule surface shipped by
-`zed-pkg/zed-cli` rather than relying only on the CLI repository's unit and
-integration tests.
+This repository independently certifies the consolidated Git-submodule surface
+in `zed-pkg/zed-cli#108` rather than relying only on product-repository tests.
+The workflow pins these immutable inputs:
 
-The workflow pins the exact merged CLI commit
-`ef4e461a57203016ae9ac4d1d38849e7e8d508e0` and its exact interface contract
-`c2e049006453c26ca8ca291783f681fce75cb01f`. It builds that source on Ubuntu
-24.04 and macOS 15, then creates every Git repository and package registry below
-the runner's temporary directory. It uses no account, token, public registry,
-or persistent package namespace.
+```text
+zed-pkg/zed-cli@b2ec50cd1d7c182bd9219795cd2918387c9c4cd8
+zed-pkg/zed-interfaces@c2e049006453c26ca8ca291783f681fce75cb01f
+```
+
+The same CLI commit is recorded in `.zed-cli-ref`, so this PR also exercises the
+candidate through the repository's full lifecycle suite across all maintained
+fixture repositories.
 
 ## Contract
 
-`scripts/git_submodule_interop.py` verifies eight black-box behaviors:
+`scripts/git_submodule_interop.py` creates disposable local Git repositories and
+certifies twelve black-box behaviors through the compiled public `zed` binary:
 
-1. `--git-submodules=false` overrides an inherited
-   `ZED_PKG_GIT_SUBMODULES=1` setting.
-2. `zed install --git-submodules` initializes top-level and nested submodules
-   recursively from a fresh clone.
-3. `zed overtake --git-submodules` imports the package as an exact workspace
-   member and direct dependency and records immutable `[[git-submodule]]`
+1. `--git-submodules=false` overrides an inherited truthy environment setting.
+2. Cooperative install initializes top-level and nested submodules recursively.
+3. Takeover records exact workspace, direct dependency, commit, digest, and size
    provenance.
-4. A second fresh clone can run `zed install --git-submodules --frozen`
-   without changing one lockfile byte.
-5. Dirty submodule content is rejected without lockfile mutation.
-6. Committed `.gitmodules` branch drift is rejected without lockfile mutation.
-7. A pre-commit resolution failure restores the exact authored root-manifest
-   bytes and leaves no lock, modules tree, or transaction staging state.
-8. The same failure removes a takeover-generated manifest when the project had
-   no manifest before migration.
+4. A fresh clone replays frozen state without changing one lockfile byte.
+5. Dirty adopted content fails before lock mutation.
+6. Committed branch-provenance drift fails before lock mutation.
+7. A mixed repository adopts only the explicit Zed package and leaves the
+   ordinary submodule Git-managed.
+8. Mixed fresh-clone frozen replay initializes both Git transports, preserves
+   manifest and lock bytes, and materializes only the adopted package through
+   `zed_modules`.
+9. An all-Git-only takeover may initialize requested transport but publishes no
+   Zed lock, modules, or recovery state and preserves the authored manifest.
+10. Malformed package intent fails closed before any Zed mutation.
+11. A pre-commit resolution failure restores exact authored manifest bytes.
+12. The same failure removes a takeover-generated manifest from a previously
+    manifestless root.
 
-The fixture graph contains a nested local-path submodule, so recursion is tested
-with real Git commands rather than mocked process output. Local file transport is
-enabled only through the acceptance process's explicit Git configuration
-environment; interactive prompting and package-registry credentials are disabled.
+The product's four dedicated integration binaries add direct coverage for CLI
+and environment precedence, nested synchronization, idempotent takeover,
+manifestless rollback, true clone-without-submodules restoration, clean recursive
+status, and branch metadata refresh without replacing the immutable gitlink pin.
+Unit and Clippy coverage also enforce that only true `NotFound` is skippable:
+directory-valued, dangling, symlinked, and invalid `.zpkg.toml` entries fail
+closed.
 
-## Evidence
+## Evidence and safety
 
-Each operating-system job retains:
+Each Ubuntu 24.04 and macOS 15 job retains:
 
 - the complete command transcript;
-- the adopted lockfile;
+- adopted and mixed-repository lock evidence;
 - the release binary SHA-256;
 - the exact CLI version; and
-- the list of certified contract checks.
+- the twelve certified contract checks.
 
 The workflow has only `contents: read`, disables persisted checkout credentials,
-and pins every third-party Action to a full commit SHA. The repository's existing
-full lifecycle workflow also consumes `.zed-cli-ref`, so advancing that file in
-the same pull request runs the exact merged CLI across all 22 fixture repositories.
+pins third-party Actions to full commit SHAs, verifies the CLI/interface/source
+pins, keeps Python bytecode outside checked-out sources, denies Clippy warnings,
+and requires clean product, interface, and harness checkouts afterward.
+
+No account, public package registry, credential, Docker daemon, or persistent
+namespace participates. The canary explicitly removes inherited Zed and GitHub
+tokens from product subprocesses. Local file transport is enabled only through
+the acceptance process's explicit Git configuration.
+
+A manually dispatched optional job repeats the same black-box contract on the
+registered `[self-hosted, linux, sonus-ci]` ARC scale set when hosted runner
+capacity is constrained.
+
+## Local execution
+
+From sibling checkouts:
+
+```bash
+cargo build --locked --release \
+  --manifest-path ../zed-cli/Cargo.toml \
+  --bin zed
+
+python3 scripts/git_submodule_interop.py \
+  --zed ../zed-cli/target/release/zed \
+  --work-root /tmp/zed-git-submodule-interop
+```
+
+The work root must not already exist. It is retained on failure for inspection.

+# mise frozen identity certification
+
+This suite certifies the next read-only mise parity slice after the merged Tier-1 import/verify contract.
+
+`zed-pkg` is an independent multi-language package manager and is unrelated to the Zed editor. Here, `zed` means the `zed-pkg` CLI.
+
+## Immutable candidate
+
+Implementation PR: `zed-pkg/zed-cli#104`.
+
+The workflow builds and tests exact CLI commit:
+
+```text
+41b7a228377f39aa07527725ee4439c1d153997e
+```
+
+The commit is a semantic two-parent composition of the reviewed frozen-identity product tree and then-current `main`. The implementation PR contains only:
+
+- `src/environment.rs`;
+- `tests/mise_environment_cli.rs`;
+- `docs/mise-interop.md`; and
+- the permanent read-only `.github/workflows/mise-frozen-identity.yml` matrix.
+
+## Scope
+
+`scripts/mise_frozen_identity.py` runs the real immutable CLI with an empty `PATH` and verifies that frozen project-local mise state fails closed when its declared identity is incomplete or inconsistent.
+
+The certified checks are:
+
+- every applicable platform requested through `settings.lockfile_platforms` exists for every configured tool;
+- a tool-level `os` constraint limits which requested platforms apply;
+- a backend-qualified configuration such as `aqua:jqlang/jq` equals the lock's backend identity;
+- the resolved lock version satisfies the authored exact, boundary-prefix, or supported SemVer-range requirement;
+- a plain prefix such as `22` accepts `22.4.0` but rejects `220.0.0`;
+- unsupported manager-specific range syntax fails closed rather than being approximated;
+- successful and failing verification remain read-only; and
+- no ambient mise executable or global configuration is required.
+
+The existing static-mise baseline was also strengthened: every tool now carries every globally requested platform so semantic-digest, provenance-drift, checksum, boundary, and mutation tests remain valid under the stricter completeness rule.
+
+## Cross-platform workflow
+
+`.github/workflows/mise-environment.yml` pins the full candidate SHA above and runs on:
+
+- Ubuntu 24.04;
+- macOS 15; and
+- Windows Server 2025.
+
+Each platform requires formatting, environment unit tests, the complete real CLI integration target, all-target Clippy with warnings denied, a locked release build, the original static import harness, normalized lock-naming certification, and the new frozen-identity harness. Failure diagnostics preserve all three disposable work roots plus toolchain and checkout state.
+
+## Deliberate boundary
+
+This suite does not claim complete current `mise.lock` parity. It does not yet certify option-dependent multiple identities, `install`, `url_api`, verified provenance, additional artifacts, shared conda/pkgx dependency sections, deterministic export, or import/export/import round trips. Those remain tracked by DEN-1461 and the remaining DEN-1481 work.
+
+## Promotion gate
+
+Promotion requires:
+
+1. every exact-head implementation workflow on `41b7a228377f39aa07527725ee4439c1d153997e` to pass;
+2. this black-box harness and the existing static mise harnesses to pass on all three platforms;
+3. strict all-target Clippy with warnings denied;
+4. ordinary lifecycle, recursive-install, browser, install-boundary, and runtime-mise workflows to remain green;
+5. the E2E workflow pin to match the implementation head exactly; and
+6. exact implementation and certification commits to be recorded in DEN-1481, DEN-1461, and the canonical mise policy document.

+# Git-submodule package-boundary canary
+
+This contract independently certifies the archive and publication boundary in
+`zed-pkg/zed-cli#110`. It invokes only the compiled public executable and
+inspects the resulting `tar.gz` bytes with Python's standard library.
+
+The workflow pins exact CLI candidate
+`08827a11147355cdeedb68cedcc05c1104265c1f` and exact interface contract
+`c2e049006453c26ca8ca291783f681fce75cb01f`. Ubuntu 24.04 and macOS 15 build
+that source, run the focused product tests, and execute disposable local Git
+fixtures. Linux additionally runs all-target Clippy with warnings denied.
+
+## Certified behavior
+
+The fixture graph is a superproject containing a Zed-package submodule, which
+itself contains a nested ordinary Git submodule. The black-box contract proves:
+
+1. an included but uninitialized submodule rejects `zed pack` before an archive
+   is created;
+2. the same checkout rejects `zed publish --dry-run` before publication
+   planning;
+3. `zed install --git-submodules` initializes both levels recursively;
+4. a materialized checkout packages root, child, and nested runtime files;
+5. no root or nested `.git`, `.gitmodules`, `.hg`, or `.svn` control data enters
+   the archive;
+6. the initialized package reaches a credential-free publication dry run;
+7. a dirty included submodule fails before archive creation;
+8. a dirty nested submodule also fails before archive creation;
+9. an authored `publish.exclude = ["vendor/client/**"]` permits that entire
+   subtree to remain uninitialized and omitted; and
+10. a project `.zedignore` with the same recursive boundary behaves identically.
+
+An uninitialized submodule is optional only when one authored recursive rule
+conclusively excludes its complete subtree. Sampling a few likely filenames is
+not treated as proof that an unknown runtime file cannot enter the package.
+
+## Isolation and evidence
+
+Every Git repository, Zed home, registry directory, output directory, and
+credential home is created below the runner's temporary work root. The contract
+removes inherited GitHub and Zed token variables, disables interactive Git
+authentication and system Git configuration, and enables local file transport
+only through process-local Git configuration for its own fixtures.
+
+No public registry, package namespace, account, token, container daemon, or
+persistent runner state is used. Each operating-system job retains only the
+bounded command transcript and JSON evidence containing the exact binary
+version, binary SHA-256, and ten completed checks.
+
+The workflow itself has `contents: read`, disables persisted checkout
+credentials, and pins all third-party Actions and product inputs to full commit
+SHAs.

 # Git-submodule interoperability canary
 
-This repository independently certifies the Git-submodule surface shipped by
-`zed-pkg/zed-cli` rather than relying only on the CLI repository's unit and
-integration tests.
+This repository independently certifies the Git-submodule implementation merged
+by `zed-pkg/zed-cli#108` rather than relying only on product-repository tests.
+The workflow pins these immutable shipped inputs:
 
-The workflow pins the exact merged CLI commit
-`ef4e461a57203016ae9ac4d1d38849e7e8d508e0` and its exact interface contract
-`c2e049006453c26ca8ca291783f681fce75cb01f`. It builds that source on Ubuntu
-24.04 and macOS 15, then creates every Git repository and package registry below
-the runner's temporary directory. It uses no account, token, public registry,
-or persistent package namespace.
+```text
+zed-pkg/zed-cli@b427e11fa9f592de88907320eff3293d0837b2b3
+zed-pkg/zed-interfaces@c2e049006453c26ca8ca291783f681fce75cb01f
+```
+
+The same merged CLI commit is recorded in `.zed-cli-ref`, so this PR also
+exercises the shipped implementation through the repository's full lifecycle
+suite across all maintained fixture repositories. Before promotion, the
+certification branch is merged with current E2E `main` and revalidated at the
+resulting head; independent acceptance additions are preserved rather than
+resolved by selecting one side of a divergent history.
 
 ## Contract
 
-`scripts/git_submodule_interop.py` verifies eight black-box behaviors:
+`scripts/git_submodule_interop.py` creates disposable local Git repositories and
+certifies twelve black-box behaviors through the compiled public `zed` binary:
 
-1. `--git-submodules=false` overrides an inherited
-   `ZED_PKG_GIT_SUBMODULES=1` setting.
-2. `zed install --git-submodules` initializes top-level and nested submodules
-   recursively from a fresh clone.
-3. `zed overtake --git-submodules` imports the package as an exact workspace
-   member and direct dependency and records immutable `[[git-submodule]]`
+1. `--git-submodules=false` overrides an inherited truthy environment setting.
+2. Cooperative install initializes top-level and nested submodules recursively.
+3. Takeover records exact workspace, direct dependency, commit, digest, and size
    provenance.
-4. A second fresh clone can run `zed install --git-submodules --frozen`
-   without changing one lockfile byte.
-5. Dirty submodule content is rejected without lockfile mutation.
-6. Committed `.gitmodules` branch drift is rejected without lockfile mutation.
-7. A pre-commit resolution failure restores the exact authored root-manifest
-   bytes and leaves no lock, modules tree, or transaction staging state.
-8. The same failure removes a takeover-generated manifest when the project had
-   no manifest before migration.
+4. A fresh clone replays frozen state without changing one lockfile byte.
+5. Dirty adopted content fails before lock mutation.
+6. Committed branch-provenance drift fails before lock mutation.
+7. A mixed repository adopts only the explicit Zed package and leaves the
+   ordinary submodule Git-managed.
+8. Mixed fresh-clone frozen replay initializes both Git transports, preserves
+   manifest and lock bytes, and materializes only the adopted package through
+   `zed_modules`.
+9. An all-Git-only takeover may initialize requested transport but publishes no
+   Zed lock, modules, or recovery state and preserves the authored manifest.
+10. Malformed package intent fails closed before any Zed mutation.
+11. A pre-commit resolution failure restores exact authored manifest bytes.
+12. The same failure removes a takeover-generated manifest from a previously
+    manifestless root.
 
-The fixture graph contains a nested local-path submodule, so recursion is tested
-with real Git commands rather than mocked process output. Local file transport is
-enabled only through the acceptance process's explicit Git configuration
-environment; interactive prompting and package-registry credentials are disabled.
+The product's four dedicated integration binaries add direct coverage for CLI
+and environment precedence, nested synchronization, idempotent takeover,
+manifestless rollback, true clone-without-submodules restoration, clean recursive
+status, and branch metadata refresh without replacing the immutable gitlink pin.
+Unit and Clippy coverage also enforce that only true `NotFound` is skippable:
+directory-valued, dangling, symlinked, and invalid `.zpkg.toml` entries fail
+closed.
 
-## Evidence
+## Evidence and safety
 
-Each operating-system job retains:
+Each Ubuntu 24.04 and macOS 15 job retains:
 
 - the complete command transcript;
-- the adopted lockfile;
+- adopted and mixed-repository lock evidence;
 - the release binary SHA-256;
 - the exact CLI version; and
-- the list of certified contract checks.
+- the twelve certified contract checks.
 
 The workflow has only `contents: read`, disables persisted checkout credentials,
-and pins every third-party Action to a full commit SHA. The repository's existing
-full lifecycle workflow also consumes `.zed-cli-ref`, so advancing that file in
-the same pull request runs the exact merged CLI across all 22 fixture repositories.
+pins third-party Actions to full commit SHAs, verifies the CLI/interface/source
+pins, keeps Python bytecode outside checked-out sources, denies Clippy warnings,
+and requires clean product, interface, and harness checkouts afterward.
+
+No account, public package registry, credential, Docker daemon, or persistent
+namespace participates. The canary explicitly removes inherited Zed and GitHub
+tokens from product subprocesses. Local file transport is enabled only through
+the acceptance process's explicit Git configuration.
+
+A manually dispatched optional job repeats the same black-box contract on the
+registered `[self-hosted, linux, sonus-ci]` ARC scale set when hosted runner
+capacity is constrained.
+
+## Local execution
+
+From sibling checkouts:
+
+```bash
+cargo build --locked --release \
+  --manifest-path ../zed-cli/Cargo.toml \
+  --bin zed
+
+python3 scripts/git_submodule_interop.py \
+  --zed ../zed-cli/target/release/zed \
+  --work-root /tmp/zed-git-submodule-interop
+```
+
+The work root must not already exist. It is retained on failure for inspection.

+This suite independently checks the exact `zed-pkg/zed-cli` candidate that implements the complete current project-local `mise.lock` identity contract. The workflow pins a full commit SHA and never follows a mutable branch.
+
+## Current mise wire-format canary
+
+The implementation repository includes `tests/fixtures/mise-lock/current-actionlint.lock`, copied from mise commit `72379d0c459808f980a037065ac9c39a60032280`.
+
+That fixture uses mise's current quoted literal platform keys:
+
+```toml
+[[tools.actionlint]]
+version = "1.7.12"
+backend = "aqua:rhysd/actionlint"
+
+[tools.actionlint."platforms.linux-x64"]
+checksum = "sha256:..."
+url = "https://..."
+url_api = "https://api.github.com/..."
+provenance = "github-attestations"
+```
+
+The cross-platform suite names the current-wire tests explicitly. They require parse, deterministic render back to quoted `"platforms.<target>"` keys, reparse, normalized equality, semantic-digest equality, and provenance-mutation sensitivity. A lock identity that mixes the current quoted form with the earlier nested compatibility form fails closed.

+# mise export boundary certification
+
+This suite independently certifies deterministic, conflict-safe projection from a Zed `EnvironmentPlanV2` into project-local mise TOML.
+
+`zed-pkg` is an independent multi-language package manager and is unrelated to the Zed editor. Here, `zed` refers only to the `zed-pkg` CLI.
+
+## Implementation graph
+
+- Base exporter: `zed-pkg/zed-cli#113`
+- Stacked ownership/security hardening: `zed-pkg/zed-cli#115`
+- Independent black-box harness: `scripts/mise_export_boundaries.py`
+
+The certification workflow will pin the final immutable implementation commit after #115 is merged into the #113 feature branch. It will never follow a mutable branch.
+
+## Certified behavior
+
+The harness runs the real CLI with an empty `PATH` and proves:
+
+- print mode is deterministic and read-only;
+- `--write` creates generated TOML plus typed ownership state;
+- `--check` verifies exact generated bytes;
+- repeated writes are idempotent;
+- hand-edited owned files are not overwritten;
+- differing unowned files are not adopted or overwritten;
+- safe missing output parent directories can be created transactionally;
+- output cannot alias its input plan, including case-only aliases relevant to Windows;
+- output and input cannot target the reserved export-state path;
+- output and input cannot target transaction staging;
+- nested secret-like keys in vars and tool options fail with exact field paths;
+- symlinked export-state parents cannot redirect state outside the project; and
+- no ambient mise executable, global mise configuration, or credentials are required.
+
+Both successful and failed commands are checked for unintended project mutation.
+
+## Deliberate boundary
+
+This certifies deterministic manager configuration export and ownership safety. It does not claim:
+
+- complete current `mise.lock` export;
+- native `EnvironmentLock` translation;
+- a general semantic three-way merge for arbitrary hand-authored mise files;
+- execution of mise tasks, hooks, templates, plugins, or environment expressions; or
+- installation of runtimes.
+
+The current-lock contract remains DEN-1461. More sophisticated merge planning remains separate follow-up work under DEN-1462.
+
+## Promotion gate
+
+Promotion requires:
+
+1. a full 40-character final CLI pin;
+2. Ubuntu 24.04, macOS 15, and Windows Server 2025 success;
+3. formatting, focused unit tests, real CLI tests, a locked release build, and all-target Clippy with warnings denied;
+4. this black-box harness passing on all platforms, with symlink assertions skipped only where the host cannot create symlinks;
+5. ordinary lifecycle, recursive-install, browser, install-boundary, and runtime-mise workflows remaining green; and
+6. exact implementation, certification, and merge commits recorded in DEN-1462 and the canonical mise interoperability policy.

+# Git-submodule package-boundary canary
+
+This contract independently certifies the archive and publication boundary in
+`zed-pkg/zed-cli#110`. It invokes only the compiled public executable and
+inspects the resulting `tar.gz` bytes with Python's standard library.
+
+The workflow pins exact CLI candidate
+`a964c9cdf305450302c05dc56c883929a4a7b5c5` and exact interface contract
+`c2e049006453c26ca8ca291783f681fce75cb01f`. The candidate is the reviewed
+semantic merge of the package guard with current `main`, including the latest
+mixed-submodule, Dart-wiring, mise-identity, and Windows test-gating changes,
+plus the full contextual-error and conservative exclusion-regression fixes and
+the documented canonical subtree-exclusion contract. Ubuntu 24.04 and macOS 15
+build that source, run the focused product tests, and execute disposable local
+Git fixtures. Linux additionally runs all-target Clippy with warnings denied.
+
+## Certified behavior
+
+The fixture graph is a superproject containing a Zed-package submodule, which
+itself contains a nested ordinary Git submodule. The black-box contract proves:
+
+1. an included but uninitialized submodule rejects `zed pack` before an archive
+   is created;
+2. the same checkout rejects `zed publish --dry-run` before publication
+   planning;
+3. `zed install --git-submodules` initializes both levels recursively;
+4. a materialized checkout packages root, child, and nested runtime files;
+5. no root or nested `.git`, `.gitmodules`, `.hg`, or `.svn` control data enters
+   the archive;
+6. the initialized package reaches a credential-free publication dry run;
+7. a dirty included submodule fails before archive creation;
+8. a dirty nested submodule also fails before archive creation;
+9. an authored `publish.exclude = ["vendor/client/**"]` permits that entire
+   subtree to remain uninitialized and omitted;
+10. a project `.zedignore` with the same recursive boundary behaves identically;
+11. a misleading `./vendor/client/**` pattern cannot bypass initialization; and
+12. a misleading `/vendor/client/**` pattern cannot bypass initialization.
+
+An uninitialized submodule is optional only when one authored canonical
+recursive rule conclusively excludes its complete subtree under the exact glob
+syntax used by the packer. Sampling filenames, stripping path prefixes, changing
+path separators, or otherwise normalizing an authored pattern is not treated as
+proof that an unknown runtime file cannot enter the package.
+
+## Isolation and evidence
+
+Every Git repository, Zed home, registry directory, output directory, and
+credential home is created below the runner's temporary work root. The contract
+removes inherited GitHub and Zed token variables, disables interactive Git
+authentication and system Git configuration, and enables local file transport
+only through process-local Git configuration for its own fixtures.
+
+No public registry, package namespace, account, token, container daemon, or
+persistent runner state is used. Each operating-system job retains only the
+bounded command transcript and JSON evidence containing the exact binary
+version, binary SHA-256, and twelve completed checks.
+
+The workflow itself has `contents: read`, disables persisted checkout
+credentials, and pins all third-party Actions and product inputs to full commit
+SHAs.

+# External Nix bundle-write canary
+
+Tracking: DEN-1592
+
+This repository independently certifies the product command:
+
+```bash
+zed interop nix bundle write \
+  --frozen \
+  --flake-lock ./approved-flake.lock \
+  --out ./exports/package-flake
+```
+
+The canary imports no Rust implementation module. It checks out one immutable
+`zed-pkg/zed-cli` commit, builds the release binary, constructs a disposable
+package project, and drives only that executable plus Nix.
+
+## Certified boundaries
+
+On Ubuntu 24.04 and macOS 15, the harness proves:
+
+- invocation below the project root discovers `.zpkg.toml` and `.zpkg.lock`;
+- a missing output is created as a deterministic standalone flake;
+- the compact receipt is `zed.nix-flake-bundle-write/v1` and reports the
+  canonical published destination;
+- source project bytes remain unchanged and the configured Zed home is never
+  created;
+- an exact second invocation returns `already-current` without rewriting bytes;
+- the visible `--output` alias and environment-only flag contract work;
+- an unknown option fails before output creation;
+- a caller-supplied symlink as the immediate output parent is rejected without
+  writing through its target;
+- tampered caller-owned output fails unchanged;
+- generated text does not leak the source path, configured Zed home, or invalid
+  registry sentinel; and
+- after one explicit locked acquisition step, the generated flake passes
+  `nix flake check --offline` and reproduces the same `nix build --offline`
+  store output.
+
+## Reproducibility and trust
+
+`.zed-nix-bundle-write-cli-ref` contains the default full commit pin. Manual
+workflow overrides must also be full 40-character commits. The shared
+`zed-interfaces` revision is asserted in both `Cargo.toml` and `Cargo.lock`.
+
+The workflow has read-only repository permissions, uses full-SHA Action pins,
+disables persisted checkout credentials, owns all package/Nix/Zed state below a
+fresh runner-temporary directory, and uploads bounded diagnostics only on
+failure. It never publishes to a Zed registry, Cachix, Attic, GitHub release, or
+OCI registry.
+
+The canary complements product-repository unit and integration tests. It does
+not replace them: a candidate is mergeable only after its exact product checks
+and this independent binary-level contract agree.

+# Local OCI image-layout certification
+
+This suite certifies the credential-free local layout boundary added by
+`zed-pkg/zed-cli#56`. It treats the Rust implementation as an untrusted producer:
+the black-box harness walks the generated OCI image-layout, hashes every blob
+independently, and compares the result with a separate plan-only invocation.
+
+The suite is stacked on the publication-plan contract in
+`docs/oci-plan-contract.md`. Planning remains the authoritative identity model;
+this follow-up proves that `--out` materializes those exact bytes without adding
+network, authentication, or hidden project mutations.
+
+## Exact inputs
+
+`.github/workflows/oci-layout-contract.yml` pins:
+
+- one exact 40-character `zed-pkg/zed-cli` candidate commit;
+- immutable commits for `node-lib`, `node-app`, and `polyglot-lib` fixtures; and
+- immutable commits for every third-party GitHub Action.
+
+The job grants only `contents: read`, disables persisted checkout credentials,
+and builds the candidate with its checked-in Cargo lockfile.
+
+## Certified output
+
+For each successful layout, the harness requires:
+
+1. `oci-layout` contains image-layout version `1.0.0`;
+2. `index.json` is an OCI image index with exactly one manifest descriptor;
+3. the index descriptor digest equals the resolved publication reference and
+   the plan-only manifest descriptor;
+4. `org.opencontainers.image.ref.name` preserves the requested version tag;
+5. every descriptor points to `blobs/sha256/<encoded digest>`;
+6. every blob filename equals the SHA-256 of its bytes;
+7. every descriptor size equals the actual byte count;
+8. the OCI manifest carries the expected Zed config and typed package,
+   source-manifest, and optional lockfile layers;
+9. no undeclared or duplicate blob exists;
+10. the reported blob count and total byte count match the independently walked
+    layout; and
+11. two separate materializations of the same package produce byte-identical
+    trees apart from their requested output path.
+
+## Fixture coverage
+
+| Fixture | Boundary exercised |
+| --- | --- |
+| `node-lib` | deterministic layout, plan parity, full descriptor walk, syscall audit |
+| `polyglot-lib` | one selected Rust target re-rooted from a four-language source repository |
+| `node-app` | exact `.zpkg.lock` bytes preserved as a typed OCI layer |
+
+The suite also creates a pre-existing output directory and proves the command
+fails without changing its sentinel file.
+
+## Source-tree and security boundaries
+
+Before and after every command, the harness fingerprints the source fixture,
+including relative paths, file bytes, symlink targets, and permission bits. It
+also installs an intentionally unrecoverable `.zpkg-staging` sentinel. A passing
+candidate must therefore leave the source tree unchanged, leave no `.zed/pack`
+output, and avoid transaction recovery.
+
+The representative `node-lib` materialization runs under `strace`. Any runtime
+network socket syscall fails the job. Opening either poisoned saved-credentials
+file also fails. Closed loopback proxies and nonexistent registry/auth endpoints
+provide an additional guardrail.
+
+## Formatting and executable validation
+
+The workflow deliberately cannot push fixes back to the product branch. It:
+
+1. runs `cargo fmt` on a disposable exact checkout;
+2. records a patch and formatted source files as evidence;
+3. runs focused OCI tests, Clippy with warnings denied, and a locked release
+   build against the formatted tree;
+4. runs the black-box contract; and
+5. finally requires the originally pinned candidate to have produced no
+   rustfmt diff.
+
+A formatting-only failure therefore exposes the exact deterministic correction
+without granting repository write permission. Product changes are reviewed and
+committed in `zed-pkg/zed-cli`, then this canary is repinned to the new exact
+commit.
+
+## Evidence
+
+Every run uploads formatting evidence, structured command results, layout
+fingerprints, and the syscall trace for seven days. The evidence schema is
+`zed-pkg-test.oci-layout-evidence/v1` and contains no registry token or account
+secret.
+
+## Local execution
+
+Build the exact CLI candidate and place fixture checkouts beside this repository,
+then run:
+
+```bash
+python3 scripts/oci_layout_contract.py \
+  --zed ../zed-cli/target/release/zed \
+  --strace "$(command -v strace)" \
+  --node-lib ../node-lib \
+  --node-app ../node-app \
+  --polyglot-lib ../polyglot-lib \
+  --evidence /tmp/zed-oci-layout-evidence
+```
+
+Linux with `strace` is required for the credential/network assertion.

+It starts from a Zed-generated OCI image layout, pushes that exact layout to a
+throwaway basic-auth registry through ORAS, and independently resolves the
+remote tag back to the expected SHA-256 manifest digest.
+
+The test deliberately does **not** publish to GHCR or any persistent company
+registry. The registry, username, password, repository, and tags exist only for
+the duration of one GitHub Actions job.
+
+## Security contract
+
+`zed oci push` must select exactly one authentication source:
+
+1. `--username` with `--password-stdin`;
+2. an explicit `--registry-config`; or
+3. `--anonymous`.
+
+The command is not permitted to discover credentials implicitly from
+`~/.docker/config.json`, `$DOCKER_CONFIG/config.json`, Zed registry credentials,
+or shared-auth session state. The password-stdin path creates a temporary
+Docker-compatible registry config with mode `0600`, passes that exact file to
+ORAS, and removes it before returning.
+
+The representative authenticated push runs under `strace`. The suite fails if
+it observes an open of an implicit Docker or Zed credential file. Password text
+is never included in command arguments or structured evidence, and the harness
+fails if it appears in stdout, stderr, syscall evidence, or the evidence JSON.
+
+## Registry and transport contract
+
+The workflow starts an isolated Docker Distribution registry on loopback with
+bcrypt-backed HTTP Basic Authentication. `--plain-http` is accepted only because
+the destination host is `127.0.0.1`; a non-loopback plain-HTTP destination must
+fail before ORAS transport begins.
+
+The candidate must:
+
+1. verify every local OCI descriptor, blob size, SHA-256, media type, and exact
+   blob-set membership;
+2. require the layout tag to match the destination tag;
+3. resolve the existing remote tag through ORAS;
+4. copy the layout with `oras cp --from-oci-layout` and an explicit destination
+   registry config;
+5. resolve the remote tag again; and
+6. return success only when the remote digest equals the verified local
+   manifest digest.
+
+## Mutation semantics
+
+The contract exercises three remote states:
+
+| State | Required result |
+| --- | --- |
+| tag missing | `pushed` |
+| tag already resolves to the same digest | `already-present`, without another copy |
+| tag resolves to a different digest | fail unless `--allow-tag-replacement` is explicit |
+
+After an explicitly permitted replacement, independent ORAS resolution must
+return the second layout's digest. A refused replacement must leave the first
+digest untouched.
+
+## Negative coverage
+
+The black-box harness also proves that:
+
+- a tampered package blob is rejected before ORAS is executed;
+- omitting all authentication modes fails closed;
+- plain HTTP is rejected for a non-loopback registry;
+- source fixtures and unrecoverable transaction sentinels remain unchanged;
+- no persistent `.zed/pack` directory is produced; and
+- no `zed-oci-auth-*` temporary directory remains after success or failure.
+
+## Reproducibility
+
+The workflow pins the exact `zed-cli` candidate and fixture commits, pins every
+GitHub Action to an immutable commit, requests a specific stable ORAS release,
+builds with the candidate's checked-in Cargo lockfile, and grants only
+`contents: read`.
+
+Structured command evidence, syscall evidence, the registry logs, and the exact
+resolved final digest are uploaded for seven days. No real registry secret is
+used or retained.
+
+## Deliberately deferred
+
+This contract does not yet cover:
+
+- digest-verified pull and restore;
+- recursive referrer copy;
+- SPDX, CycloneDX, in-toto, or signature attachment;
+- cloud-registry-specific identity federation;
+- client certificates or identity-token authentication; or
+- multi-platform index publication across several Zed targets.

+# Immutable OCI publication-plan contract
+
+This suite certifies the first OCI interoperability boundary for **zed-pkg**:
+`zed oci plan` computes the exact immutable artifact identity without logging
+in, contacting a registry, recovering a pending project mutation, or writing a
+persistent package output.
+
+It is deliberately narrower than OCI publication. Authentication, blob upload,
+manifest push, pull, signature/referrer handling, and registry-specific retries
+remain separate follow-up contracts. A planner that passes this suite has
+proved what bytes and descriptors a later transport is allowed to publish; it
+has not proved transport behavior.
+
+## Immutable inputs
+
+`.github/workflows/oci-plan-contract.yml` accepts one exact 40-character
+`zed-pkg/zed-cli` commit. The workflow also pins the three fixture repositories
+and every third-party Action to immutable commits. It builds the candidate with
+its checked-in lockfile and runs the real release binary.
+
+The initial fixture set is intentionally small but structurally complete:
+
+| Fixture | Contract exercised |
+| --- | --- |
+| `node-lib` | single-package deterministic planning, tag/digest rejection, and syscall audit |
+| `polyglot-lib` | required target selection and independent Node.js, Python, Go, and Rust artifacts |
+| `node-app` | required frozen lock provenance, lock layer inclusion, version drift, and digest canonicalization |
+
+## Certified invariants
+
+For every successful plan, the harness asserts:
+
+1. two independent invocations produce byte-identical JSON;
+2. the public package identity matches the selected source or polyglot target;
+3. the requested mutable tag is preserved while the resolved reference gains
+   exactly one canonical `sha256:` digest;
+4. that digest equals the OCI manifest descriptor and planned manifest blob;
+5. config, package, source-manifest, optional lockfile, and OCI-manifest blobs
+   have unique typed descriptors and positive sizes;
+6. each blob digest agrees with the corresponding adapter layer;
+7. the project tree is byte- and mode-identical before and after planning;
+8. no `.zed/pack` directory is left behind; and
+9. deliberately unrecoverable `.zpkg-staging` state remains untouched.
+
+The representative `node-lib` run executes under `strace`. Any runtime network
+socket syscall fails the test. Opening either the poisoned saved-credentials
+file or poisoned refresh-session file also fails. Closed loopback proxies and a
+nonexistent registry endpoint provide an additional defense against an
+accidental transport call.
+
+## Fail-closed cases
+
+The same executable must reject, without changing the project tree:
+
+- a destination tag that differs from the package version;
+- a caller-selected digest instead of a digest derived from the planned bytes;
+- a polyglot source without `--target`;
+- a dependency-bearing package without `.zpkg.lock`;
+- a locked dependency version outside the manifest requirement; and
+- a noncanonical uppercase lock digest.
+
+Assertions are not weakened when a candidate changes. A behavior change must
+update the shared OCI contract, unit tests, this black-box suite, and its design
+rationale together.
+
+## Evidence
+
+Every completed harness invocation writes `evidence/evidence.json`, containing
+all commands, exit statuses, stdout/stderr, plan fingerprints, and negative-case
+coverage. The syscall trace for the audited run is stored beside it. GitHub
+Actions uploads the directory for seven days.
+
+The evidence contains no registry token or account secret: the job grants only
+`contents: read`, clears Zed token/password variables, disables persisted
+checkout credentials, and runs the planner with unreadable invalid credential
+files.
+
+## Local execution
+
+Build the exact candidate and place fixture checkouts beside this repository,
+then run:
+
+```bash
+python3 scripts/oci_plan_contract.py \
+  --zed ../zed-cli/target/release/zed \
+  --strace "$(command -v strace)" \
+  --node-lib ../node-lib \
+  --node-app ../node-app \
+  --polyglot-lib ../polyglot-lib \
+  --evidence /tmp/zed-oci-plan-evidence
+```
+
+Linux with `strace` is required because the credential/network claim is a
+syscall-level assertion, not merely a mock-server assumption.

+# `.gitmodules` metadata-boundary canary
+
+This canary independently certifies the metadata hardening added to
+`zed-pkg/zed-cli#110`. It pins exact CLI candidate
+`82c9d0e0b9e96402afa76f3b85c4b9e16c3cb101` and exact interface contract
+`c2e049006453c26ca8ca291783f681fce75cb01f`.
+
+The earlier package-boundary canary proves that initialized and clean submodule
+source is packaged while nested Git control data is omitted. This follow-up
+focuses on the trustworthiness of `.gitmodules` itself before any parser,
+checkout, lock refresh, archive, or publication path consumes it.
+
+## Unix black-box contract
+
+Ubuntu 24.04 and macOS 15 build the exact locked release binary and exercise
+real disposable Git repositories. The contract proves:
+
+1. a committed stage-zero regular `.gitmodules` blob permits recursive
+   `zed install --git-submodules`;
+2. a symlinked `.gitmodules` rejects `zed pack` before archive creation;
+3. the same symlink representation rejects install before submodule checkout or
+   `.zpkg.lock` mutation;
+4. a directory at `.gitmodules` rejects pack before Git parsing;
+5. a stage-zero index entry with Gitlink mode `160000` rejects pack; and
+6. an index containing conflict stages 1, 2, and 3 rejects install before
+   checkout or lock mutation.
+
+Each negative case requires a specific metadata-boundary diagnostic, verifies
+that no archive or lockfile is left behind, and retains only a bounded transcript
+and JSON record.
+
+## Windows exact-head gate
+
+Windows Server 2025 runs the focused metadata unit suite and all-target Clippy
+with warnings denied against the same immutable CLI and interface commits. The
+filesystem symlink attacks remain in the Unix black-box matrix because ordinary
+Windows hosted runners do not provide the same unprivileged symlink semantics;
+the platform-independent Git index-mode and stage validation is compiled and
+executed by the Windows unit suite.
+
+## Isolation
+
+The workflow has read-only repository permissions, disables persisted checkout
+credentials, removes inherited GitHub and Zed token variables from product
+subprocesses, uses only disposable local file transport, and never contacts or
+mutates a public registry.

+# Global Git-submodule compatibility canary
+
+This repository independently certifies the shared Git-submodule compatibility
+switch proposed by [`zed-pkg/zed-cli#150`](https://github.com/zed-pkg/zed-cli/pull/150).
+The workflow pins the exact product candidate:
+
+```text
+74fd40b7716301c88d56db29afefe2a918642375
+```
+
+and the exact public interface contract used by that candidate:
+
+```text
+c2e049006453c26ca8ca291783f681fce75cb01f
+```
+
+## Contract boundary
+
+The black-box harness builds disposable local Git repositories and invokes only
+the compiled `zed` executable. It proves that one typed control surface works
+consistently for cooperative installation and takeover:
+
+- Git transport remains disabled by default;
+- `zed --git-submodules install` initializes top-level and nested submodules;
+- `zed install --git-submodules=false` overrides an inherited true environment;
+- `ZED_PKG_GIT_SUBMODULES=yes zed install` enables recursive initialization;
+- `zed --git-submodules overtake` adopts eligible `.gitmodules` entries into
+  `.zpkg.toml` and `.zpkg.lock` with exact package and commit provenance;
+- `zed overtake --git-submodules` and environment-only takeover are idempotent;
+- explicit false disables takeover without mutating the manifest or lock; and
+- root and takeover help expose the same option and environment key.
+
+The candidate's focused Rust tests and the real-process interoperability test
+also run before the black-box contract. Linux additionally runs all-target
+Clippy with warnings denied.
+
+## Isolation
+
+The Ubuntu 24.04 and macOS 15 jobs use process-local `file` Git transport and an
+empty disposable `file://` package registry. They receive no Zed token, GitHub
+token, persisted checkout credential, publication credential, or public
+registry mutation capability. Action, product, and interface inputs are pinned
+by immutable full commit SHA.
+
+The existing twelve-check Git-submodule canary remains the certification for the
+merged baseline. This focused lane is additive: it verifies the new shared
+CLI/environment routing before the product pull request merges. After the
+product merge, the pin can advance to the resulting merge commit without
+changing the behavioral assertions.

+# zed-pkg E2E documentation
+
+This directory records the cross-repository acceptance contracts maintained by
+`zed-pkg-test/zed-pkg-e2e`. Each canary is intended to prove behavior through a
+real compiled `zed` binary and disposable Git/package fixtures rather than only
+through unit-level implementation tests.
+
+## Git submodule certification
+
+The Git-submodule surface is split into complementary contracts so failures are
+attributable and the security boundaries remain explicit:
+
+- [`global-git-submodule-mode-canary.md`](global-git-submodule-mode-canary.md)
+  certifies the shared `--git-submodules[=true|false]` and
+  `ZED_PKG_GIT_SUBMODULES` contract for both `zed install` and
+  `zed overtake`, including recursive initialization, explicit CLI precedence,
+  migration into `.zpkg.toml` and `.zpkg.lock`, and idempotent takeover.
+- [`git-submodule-interop-canary.md`](git-submodule-interop-canary.md) certifies
+  baseline interoperability between Zed packages and Git-managed submodules,
+  including repositories where Git and Zed retain authority over different
+  paths.
+- [`git-submodule-pack-canary.md`](git-submodule-pack-canary.md) certifies the
+  archive, pack, and publication boundary so submodule metadata or unchecked
+  worktree state cannot silently enter a package artifact.
+
+Together these contracts cover transport, ownership migration, lock provenance,
+replay, and publication safety without treating Git submodules and Zed packages
+as mutually exclusive project models.
+
+## Canary requirements
+
+A permanent cross-repository canary should:
+
+1. pin every product, interface, fixture, and third-party Action input to an
+   immutable commit SHA;
+2. use read-only GitHub permissions unless a narrower write is explicitly part
+   of the behavior under test;
+3. disable persisted checkout credentials and clear inherited product tokens
+   before invoking `zed`;
+4. create disposable repositories, registries, homes, consumers, and worktrees
+   per job;
+5. exercise the release binary through its public CLI rather than importing
+   private implementation modules;
+6. verify the source checkout remains clean after the run; and
+7. retain bounded diagnostics or evidence sufficient to reproduce a failed
+   invariant.
+
+## Change process
+
+Behavioral changes should update the implementation repository and the matching
+acceptance contract in separate pull requests. During review, the canary pins
+the exact implementation PR head. After merge, that pin moves to the shipped
+merge commit so `main` continues to certify the artifact users actually receive.

+# Organization fixture inventory
+
+`zed-pkg-test` is an executable compatibility surface for `zed-pkg`. A fixture
+repository is not considered covered merely because it exists: it must be
+classified, included in the full lifecycle matrix, and probeable as a package.
+
+## Checked contracts
+
+`fixtures/org-repositories.json` is the reviewed inventory. The inventory gate
+fails when:
+
+- a live public repository is missing from the inventory or the lifecycle matrix;
+- a classified repository disappears, is archived, disabled, forked, private, or
+  changes its default branch away from `main`;
+- a package fixture loses its root `.zpkg.toml`, emits invalid TOML, or lacks the
+  required `[package]` identity fields;
+- `scripts/lifecycle.py` classifies a package source outside the reviewed
+  inventory or changes the non-package boundary.
+
+The one manifestless repository is `zed-pkg-e2e`, the orchestrator itself.
+
+## Local commands
+
+```bash
+python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -p 'test_*.py' -v
+python3 scripts/org_fixture_inventory.py
+```
+
+The live probe uses read-only GitHub API access and needs no personal access
+token:
+
+```bash
+GITHUB_TOKEN=... python3 scripts/org_fixture_inventory.py \
+  --live \
+  --output /tmp/zed-pkg-test-inventory.json
+```
+
+GitHub Actions supplies its ephemeral read-only repository token. The script
+also works without a token against the public API, subject to anonymous rate
+limits.
+
+## Adding a fixture
+
+Add the repository to `fixtures/org-repositories.json`, add it to the
+`strategy.matrix.repo` list in `.github/workflows/lifecycle.yml`, and make sure
+the root manifest is valid. The unit tests and live E2E gate intentionally fail
+until all three surfaces agree.

Subject: [PATCH 0449/1172] test: certify Opto Sync adoption boundaries across
 client fleets

Add a read-only exact-blob canary for the Sonus Auris, 3FA, and Scintilla declaration PRs. Reproduce their two reviewed files byte-for-byte, prove the source Git object IDs and heads, validate common offline-sync/security semantics and product-specific exclusions, audit immutable workflow pins and permissions, and retain structured evidence. No private repository credential or product runtime is involved.

Subject: [PATCH 0451/1172] feat: bootstrap test organization fleet

Add an idempotent control plane for 18 paired test organizations, 301 specialized test repositories, 18 governance repositories, and 234 dependency lanes. Preserve the 22 existing zed-pkg-test fixtures, hard-exclude r2g, pin source commits, generate real gitlinks, and open draft harness PRs when applied.

+# Cross-organization test repository fleet
+
+This repository is the control plane for the paired `*-test` organizations. The canonical manifest is stored as deterministic base64 parts under `bootstrap/test-org-fleet.json.gz.b64.parts/` and reconstructed automatically by the tooling (inspect with `cat bootstrap/test-org-fleet.json.gz.b64.parts/* | base64 -d | gzip -dc`). It is intentionally product-specific: it creates focused consumer, API, UI, emulator, database, protocol, chaos, security, interoperability, performance, CLI, MCP, storage, audio, WebRTC, and infrastructure repositories instead of cloning one generic template everywhere.
+
+## Scope
+
+- 18 source/test organization pairs.
+- 301 specialized repositories to create or adopt.
+- 18 organization `.github` governance repositories.
+- 22 existing `zed-pkg-test` fixtures retained as the baseline.
+- 234 declared dependency lanes across real git submodules, Zed dependencies, and native package managers.
+- `r2g` and `r2g-test` are hard-excluded by both the manifest and validator.

+
+## Dependency strategy
+
+Every SDK-oriented repository declares one or more real dependency lanes:
+
+1. **Git submodule.** The bootstrap resolves the source default branch to a 40-character commit, writes `.gitmodules`, and adds a real `160000` gitlink to that commit.
+2. **Zed.** The bootstrap writes `.zpkg.toml` using the same `owner/repository` naming convention already exercised by `zed-pkg-test`, plus `source-pins.json` for immutable provenance. Frozen lock replay is the required integration gate.
+3. **Native package manager.** The manifest records the package manager, source subtree, expected coordinate when known, and source commit. Consumers must install the built artifact outside the source tree; source-path-only success is not a release pass.
+
+Fiducia receives exactly ten language-specific repositories: TypeScript/npm, Python/PyPI, Go modules, Rust/Cargo, Java/Maven, C#/NuGet, Dart/pub, Gleam/Hex, Kotlin/Gradle, and Swift/SwiftPM. Each also carries submodule and Zed lanes.
+
+## Apply workflow
+
+Validation and dry-run require no credential:
+
+```sh
+node scripts/validate-test-org-fleet.mjs
+node --test tests/test-org-fleet.test.mjs
+node scripts/bootstrap-test-org-fleet.mjs --dry-run --summary-json
+```
+
+Creating repositories requires a short-lived credential authorized to create repositories in every selected test organization and to write contents and pull requests:
+
+```sh
+GH_TOKEN="<short-lived credential>"   node scripts/bootstrap-test-org-fleet.mjs --apply
+```
+
+Useful constrained runs:
+
+```sh
+# One organization
+GH_TOKEN="<credential>" node scripts/bootstrap-test-org-fleet.mjs --apply --org fiducia-cloud-test
+
+# One family of repositories
+GH_TOKEN="<credential>" node scripts/bootstrap-test-org-fleet.mjs --apply --org 3fa-app-test --repo "clients-*-consumer"
+```
+
+## What `--apply` performs
+
+For every selected test organization it creates or adopts the public `.github` repository, seeds organization profile/community-health files and a reusable credential-free contract workflow, creates each missing test repository with the declared visibility, resolves all accessible source repositories to immutable commits, writes real submodule gitlinks, Zed metadata, native-package metadata, test plans, source gates, and two workflows, pushes a generated commit to `agent/initial-test-harness-v1` (or the governance branch), and opens a draft pull request. Re-running the command updates generated paths and reuses open branches/PRs rather than replacing repositories.
+
+## Source-gated projects
+
+`embedded-alerts` and `evento-globolo` were empty when this matrix was designed. Their expected source repository names are encoded explicitly. The bootstrap still creates useful test repositories and pull requests, but it writes `SOURCE-GATE.md` until those source repositories expose a default-branch commit. The same mechanism handles planned clients such as `claritas-viz/claritas-clients` and `memebank/memebank-clients`. Re-running the bootstrap converts the gate into an immutable source pin and, where requested, a real gitlink.
+
+## CI and security rules
+
+- Pull-request jobs use `permissions: contents: read`, a full immutable `actions/checkout` commit, `persist-credentials: false`, and no cross-organization secret.
+- Full private-source integration is gated by `ENABLE_TEST_FLEET_INTEGRATION=true` and the organization-managed `TEST_FLEET_READ_TOKEN`.
+- Generated validators reject credential-shaped values, moving source pins for existing repos, missing gitlinks, invalid dependency modes, duplicate repositories, and any reintroduction of `r2g`.
+- Synthetic fixtures are required for biometric recovery, private messages, authentication secrets, and raw audio/media. Logs must remain redacted.
+- Scale suites separate a safe CI tier from explicit external tiers, such as Fiducia’s million-WebSocket target and File Tunnel’s very-large-file target.
+
+## Product-specific depth
+
+- **3FA:** Android/iOS emulators, desktop lifecycle, extension isolation, SDK consumers, WebSockets, offline sync, authenticator security, and recovery-factor policy.
+- **Declarative Migrations:** forward/rollback across PostgreSQL and CockroachDB, concurrency, crash atomicity, drift, replay, data preservation, packaging, and fuzz properties.
+- **ClipTown/Memebank:** every clipboard target, extension behavior, binary/image round trips between apps, OCR, storage providers, encryption, offline queues, and CORS/origin matrices.
+- **Claritas:** multi-language SDKs, API, Flutter/web UI, rendering goldens, exports, accessibility, streaming, and million-point performance fixtures.
+- **Fiducia:** polyglot clients plus Raft, locks/leases/fencing, semaphores, idempotency, cron failover, routing, discovery, NATS/DLQ, WebSockets, memory resize, auth, OTEL, edge partitions, sync, and control planes.
+- **Sonus Auris:** device/desktop recording, permission lifecycle, schedules, codecs, end-to-end encryption, retention, evidentiary integrity, long-run soak, API, clients, sync, and desktop shutdown.
+- **Messaging Intel:** read-only connector enforcement, browser-extension resilience, supported messaging/dating fixtures, privacy/redaction, analytics reproducibility, sync, and browser rotation.
+- **Scintilla/File Tunnel/Shared Auth:** sandboxed job lifecycle; resumable encrypted transfer under faults; and OIDC/OAuth/WebAuthn/session/recovery/NATS security matrices.
+- **Hypesiege/StreemPilot:** social publishing provider/rate-limit/media/calendar/analytics parity and live-studio WebRTC/guest/screen-share/recording/RTMP/reconnect coverage.

+# Applying the test fleet without a personal access token
+
+The fleet is designed to run with short-lived GitHub App installation tokens. No personal access token is stored in the repository, workflow, generated repositories, commits, or pull requests.
+
+## Live installation audit
+
+Audit date: 2026-08-04 (America/Lima).
+
+The GitHub connector is installed on every in-scope test organization. `zed-pkg-test` exposes the 22 existing package-manager fixtures. Each of the other 17 test organizations currently exposes zero repositories, so repository creation is the first required write in those organizations.
+
+| Test organization | Repositories visible to the installation |
+|---|---:|
+| `zed-pkg-test` | 22 |
+| `3fa-app-test` | 0 |
+| `declarative-migrations-test` | 0 |
+| `cliptown-test` | 0 |
+| `claritas-viz-test` | 0 |
+| `embedded-alerts-test` | 0 |
+| `evento-globolo-test` | 0 |
+| `fiducia-cloud-test` | 0 |
+| `memebank-test` | 0 |
+| `opto-sync-test` | 0 |
+| `quaestor-ledger-test` | 0 |
+| `sonus-auris-test` | 0 |
+| `messaging-intel-test` | 0 |
+| `scintilla-run-test` | 0 |
+| `file-tunnel-test` | 0 |
+| `shared-auth-test` | 0 |
+| `hypesiege-test` | 0 |
+| `streempilot-test` | 0 |
+
+`r2g` and `r2g-test` remain explicitly excluded.
+
+## GitHub App contract
+
+Use a dedicated GitHub App whose credentials are controlled by the fleet operator. Install it on all 18 test organizations with access to **all repositories**, including repositories created after installation. Grant only these repository permissions:
+
+- Administration: write — create/adopt repositories and configure repository settings.
+- Contents: write — create branches, trees, commits, and generated files.
+- Metadata: read — inspect repositories and refs.
+- Pull requests: write — open or reuse generated draft pull requests.
+- Workflows: write — write generated files under `.github/workflows/`.
+
+The workflow mints one installation token per target organization. Tokens are not shared between organizations and are revoked by the token action when each job finishes.
+
+## Repository configuration
+
+In `zed-pkg-test/zed-pkg-e2e`, configure:
+
+- Actions variable `FLEET_APP_CLIENT_ID` with the GitHub App client ID.
+- Actions secret `FLEET_APP_PRIVATE_KEY` with the GitHub App private key.
+
+Do not commit either value. Do not place them in the fleet manifest, generated source pins, workflow logs, issue bodies, or pull-request descriptions.
+
+## Execution
+
+After the workflow is present on the default branch, open **Actions → apply test organization fleet → Run workflow**.
+
+Choose either `all` or one test organization. An optional repository glob can constrain the run. Type `APPLY_TEST_FLEET` exactly in the confirmation field.
+
+For every selected organization, the workflow:
+
+1. validates the manifest and contract tests;
+2. mints a short-lived installation token scoped to that organization;
+3. creates or adopts the `.github` governance repository and specialized test repositories;
+4. writes generated harnesses and immutable source pins;
+5. pushes generated commits to agent branches; and
+6. opens or reuses draft pull requests.
+
+The matrix runs at most three organizations concurrently. Each organization invokes the bootstrap with concurrency one, limiting rate pressure and keeping failures isolated.
+
+## Failure modes
+
+- **Installation not found:** install the fleet App on the named test organization.
+- **Repository creation returns 403:** grant repository Administration write and verify the organization permits the App to create repositories.
+- **Workflow-file write returns 403:** grant Workflows write in addition to Contents write.
+- **A newly created repository is inaccessible:** configure the installation for all repositories rather than selected repositories.
+- **Source repository cannot be resolved:** the generated repository remains source-gated; rerun after the source repository has a default-branch commit or after read access is granted.
+
+The previously pasted classic token must not be reused; rotate or revoke it because it appeared in conversation history.

+# Applying the test fleet without a personal access token
+
+The fleet is designed to run with short-lived GitHub App installation tokens. No personal access token is stored in the repository, workflow, generated repositories, commits, or pull requests.
+
+## Live installation audit
+
+Audit date: 2026-08-04 (America/Lima).
+
+The GitHub connector is installed on every in-scope test organization. `zed-pkg-test` exposes the 22 existing package-manager fixtures. Each of the other 17 test organizations currently exposes zero repositories, so repository creation is the first required write in those organizations.
+
+| Test organization | Repositories visible to the installation |
+|---|---:|
+| `zed-pkg-test` | 22 |
+| `3fa-app-test` | 0 |
+| `declarative-migrations-test` | 0 |
+| `cliptown-test` | 0 |
+| `claritas-viz-test` | 0 |
+| `embedded-alerts-test` | 0 |
+| `evento-globolo-test` | 0 |
+| `fiducia-cloud-test` | 0 |
+| `memebank-test` | 0 |
+| `opto-sync-test` | 0 |
+| `quaestor-ledger-test` | 0 |
+| `sonus-auris-test` | 0 |
+| `messaging-intel-test` | 0 |
+| `scintilla-run-test` | 0 |
+| `file-tunnel-test` | 0 |
+| `shared-auth-test` | 0 |
+| `hypesiege-test` | 0 |
+| `streempilot-test` | 0 |
+
+`r2g` and `r2g-test` remain explicitly excluded.
+
+## GitHub App contract
+
+Use a dedicated GitHub App whose credentials are controlled by the fleet operator. Install it on all 18 test organizations with access to **all repositories**, including repositories created after installation. Grant only these repository permissions:
+
+- Administration: write — create/adopt repositories and configure repository settings.
+- Contents: write — create branches, trees, commits, and generated files.
+- Metadata: read — inspect repositories and refs.
+- Pull requests: write — open or reuse generated draft pull requests.
+- Workflows: write — write generated files under `.github/workflows/`.
+
+The workflow mints one installation token per target organization. Tokens are not shared between organizations and are revoked by the token action when each job finishes.
+
+## Repository configuration
+
+In `zed-pkg-test/zed-pkg-e2e`, configure:
+
+- Actions variable `FLEET_APP_CLIENT_ID` with the GitHub App client ID.
+- Actions secret `FLEET_APP_PRIVATE_KEY` with the GitHub App private key.
+
+Do not commit either value. Do not place them in the fleet manifest, generated source pins, workflow logs, issue bodies, or pull-request descriptions.
+
+## Execution
+
+After the workflow is present on the default branch, open **Actions → apply test organization fleet → Run workflow**.
+
+Choose either `all` or one test organization. An optional repository glob can constrain the run. Type `APPLY_TEST_FLEET` exactly in the confirmation field.
+
+For every selected organization, the workflow:
+
+1. validates the manifest and contract tests;
+2. mints a short-lived installation token scoped to that organization;
+3. creates or adopts the `.github` governance repository and specialized test repositories;
+4. writes generated harnesses and immutable source pins;
+5. pushes generated commits to agent branches; and
+6. opens or reuses draft pull requests.
+
+The matrix runs at most three organizations concurrently. Each organization invokes the bootstrap with concurrency one, limiting rate pressure and keeping failures isolated.
+
+## Failure modes
+
+- **Installation not found:** install the fleet App on the named test organization.
+- **Repository creation returns 403:** grant repository Administration write and verify the organization permits the App to create repositories.
+- **Workflow-file write returns 403:** grant Workflows write in addition to Contents write.
+- **A newly created repository is inaccessible:** configure the installation for all repositories rather than selected repositories.
+- **Source repository cannot be resolved:** the generated repository remains source-gated; rerun after the source repository has a default-branch commit or after read access is granted.
+
+The previously pasted classic token must not be reused; rotate or revoke it because it appeared in conversation history.

+# Cross-organization test repository fleet
+
+This repository is the control plane for the paired `*-test` organizations. The canonical manifest is stored as deterministic base64 parts under `bootstrap/test-org-fleet.json.gz.b64.parts/` and reconstructed automatically by the tooling (inspect with `cat bootstrap/test-org-fleet.json.gz.b64.parts/* | base64 -d | gzip -dc`). It is intentionally product-specific: it creates focused consumer, API, UI, emulator, database, protocol, chaos, security, interoperability, performance, CLI, MCP, storage, audio, WebRTC, and infrastructure repositories instead of cloning one generic template everywhere.
+
+## Scope
+
+- 18 source/test organization pairs.
+- 301 specialized repositories to create or adopt.
+- 18 organization `.github` governance repositories.
+- 22 existing `zed-pkg-test` fixtures retained as the baseline.
+- 234 declared dependency lanes across real git submodules, Zed dependencies, and native package managers.
+- `r2g` and `r2g-test` are hard-excluded by both the manifest and validator.
+

+
+## Dependency strategy
+
+Every SDK-oriented repository declares one or more real dependency lanes:
+
+1. **Git submodule.** The bootstrap resolves the source default branch to a 40-character commit, writes `.gitmodules`, and adds a real `160000` gitlink to that commit.
+2. **Zed.** The bootstrap writes `.zpkg.toml` using the same `owner/repository` naming convention already exercised by `zed-pkg-test`, plus `source-pins.json` for immutable provenance. Frozen lock replay is the required integration gate.
+3. **Native package manager.** The manifest records the package manager, source subtree, expected coordinate when known, and source commit. Consumers must install the built artifact outside the source tree; source-path-only success is not a release pass.
+
+Fiducia receives exactly ten language-specific repositories: TypeScript/npm, Python/PyPI, Go modules, Rust/Cargo, Java/Maven, C#/NuGet, Dart/pub, Gleam/Hex, Kotlin/Gradle, and Swift/SwiftPM. Each also carries submodule and Zed lanes.
+
+## Apply workflow
+
+Validation and dry-run require no credential:
+
+```sh
+node scripts/validate-test-org-fleet.mjs
+node --test tests/test-org-fleet.test.mjs
+node scripts/bootstrap-test-org-fleet.mjs --dry-run --summary-json
+```
+
+Creating repositories requires a short-lived credential authorized to create repositories in every selected test organization and to write contents and pull requests:
+
+```sh
+GH_TOKEN="<short-lived credential>"   node scripts/bootstrap-test-org-fleet.mjs --apply
+```
+
+Useful constrained runs:
+
+```sh
+# One organization
+GH_TOKEN="<credential>" node scripts/bootstrap-test-org-fleet.mjs --apply --org fiducia-cloud-test
+
+# One family of repositories
+GH_TOKEN="<credential>" node scripts/bootstrap-test-org-fleet.mjs --apply --org 3fa-app-test --repo "clients-*-consumer"
+```
+
+## What `--apply` performs
+
+For every selected test organization it creates or adopts the public `.github` repository, seeds organization profile/community-health files and a reusable credential-free contract workflow, creates each missing test repository with the declared visibility, resolves all accessible source repositories to immutable commits, writes real submodule gitlinks, Zed metadata, native-package metadata, test plans, source gates, and two workflows, pushes a generated commit to `agent/initial-test-harness-v1` (or the governance branch), and opens a draft pull request. Re-running the command updates generated paths and reuses open branches/PRs rather than replacing repositories.
+
+## Source-gated projects
+
+`embedded-alerts` and `evento-globolo` were empty when this matrix was designed. Their expected source repository names are encoded explicitly. The bootstrap still creates useful test repositories and pull requests, but it writes `SOURCE-GATE.md` until those source repositories expose a default-branch commit. The same mechanism handles planned clients such as `claritas-viz/claritas-clients` and `memebank/memebank-clients`. Re-running the bootstrap converts the gate into an immutable source pin and, where requested, a real gitlink.
+
+## CI and security rules
+
+- Pull-request jobs use `permissions: contents: read`, a full immutable `actions/checkout` commit, `persist-credentials: false`, and no cross-organization secret.
+- Full private-source integration is gated by `ENABLE_TEST_FLEET_INTEGRATION=true` and the organization-managed `TEST_FLEET_READ_TOKEN`.
+- Generated validators reject credential-shaped values, moving source pins for existing repos, missing gitlinks, invalid dependency modes, duplicate repositories, and any reintroduction of `r2g`.
+- Synthetic fixtures are required for biometric recovery, private messages, authentication secrets, and raw audio/media. Logs must remain redacted.
+- Scale suites separate a safe CI tier from explicit external tiers, such as Fiducia’s million-WebSocket target and File Tunnel’s very-large-file target.
+
+## Product-specific depth
+
+- **3FA:** Android/iOS emulators, desktop lifecycle, extension isolation, SDK consumers, WebSockets, offline sync, authenticator security, and recovery-factor policy.
+- **Declarative Migrations:** forward/rollback across PostgreSQL and CockroachDB, concurrency, crash atomicity, drift, replay, data preservation, packaging, and fuzz properties.
+- **ClipTown/Memebank:** every clipboard target, extension behavior, binary/image round trips between apps, OCR, storage providers, encryption, offline queues, and CORS/origin matrices.
+- **Claritas:** multi-language SDKs, API, Flutter/web UI, rendering goldens, exports, accessibility, streaming, and million-point performance fixtures.
+- **Fiducia:** polyglot clients plus Raft, locks/leases/fencing, semaphores, idempotency, cron failover, routing, discovery, NATS/DLQ, WebSockets, memory resize, auth, OTEL, edge partitions, sync, and control planes.
+- **Sonus Auris:** device/desktop recording, permission lifecycle, schedules, codecs, end-to-end encryption, retention, evidentiary integrity, long-run soak, API, clients, sync, and desktop shutdown.
+- **Messaging Intel:** read-only connector enforcement, browser-extension resilience, supported messaging/dating fixtures, privacy/redaction, analytics reproducibility, sync, and browser rotation.
+- **Scintilla/File Tunnel/Shared Auth:** sandboxed job lifecycle; resumable encrypted transfer under faults; and OIDC/OAuth/WebAuthn/session/recovery/NATS security matrices.
+- **Hypesiege/StreemPilot:** social publishing provider/rate-limit/media/calendar/analytics parity and live-studio WebRTC/guest/screen-share/recording/RTMP/reconnect coverage.

-# Applying the test fleet without a personal access token
+# Applying the test fleet with secret-backed credentials
 
-The fleet is designed to run with short-lived GitHub App installation tokens. No personal access token is stored in the repository, workflow, generated repositories, commits, or pull requests.
+The fleet supports two credential sources:
+
+1. a personal access token stored as the encrypted repository Actions secret `FLEET_GH_TOKEN`; or
+2. short-lived GitHub App installation tokens minted from `FLEET_APP_CLIENT_ID` and `FLEET_APP_PRIVATE_KEY`.
+
+The workflow input `authentication=auto` prefers `FLEET_GH_TOKEN` when it exists and otherwise uses the GitHub App. Explicit `pat` and `github-app` modes fail closed when their required secret-backed configuration is missing.
+
+No credential value belongs in the repository, workflow source, fleet manifest, generated repositories, commit messages, issue bodies, pull-request descriptions, workflow-dispatch inputs, or logs.

+## Personal access token contract
+
+Store the PAT in `zed-pkg-test/zed-pkg-e2e` as the repository Actions secret named exactly `FLEET_GH_TOKEN`.
+
+The token owner must be allowed to create repositories in every selected test organization. For a classic PAT that creates private repositories, use the `repo` scope. Include the `workflow` scope because generated harness commits may write files under `.github/workflows/`. Authorize the token for each organization when SAML SSO enforcement requires it.

+The workflow exposes the stored secret only to the selected job runner, writes it to that runner's `GH_TOKEN` environment through `GITHUB_ENV` without printing it, and discards the runner after the job. GitHub's encrypted Actions-secret store is the only persistent location expected by this path.
+
+Do not use an Actions variable for a token. Variables are not secret storage. Do not pass a token as a `workflow_dispatch` input.

 For every selected organization, the workflow:
 
 1. validates the manifest and contract tests;
-2. mints a short-lived installation token scoped to that organization;
-3. creates or adopts the `.github` governance repository and specialized test repositories;
-4. writes generated harnesses and immutable source pins;
-5. pushes generated commits to agent branches; and
-6. opens or reuses draft pull requests.

 The matrix runs at most three organizations concurrently. Each organization invokes the bootstrap with concurrency one, limiting rate pressure and keeping failures isolated.
 
 ## Failure modes
 
-- **Installation not found:** install the fleet App on the named test organization.
-- **Repository creation returns 403:** grant repository Administration write and verify the organization permits the App to create repositories.
-- **Workflow-file write returns 403:** grant Workflows write in addition to Contents write.
-- **A newly created repository is inaccessible:** configure the installation for all repositories rather than selected repositories.
+- **`authentication=pat` reports a missing secret:** create the repository Actions secret `FLEET_GH_TOKEN`.
+- **PAT receives 401:** verify that the stored value is current and copied without surrounding whitespace.
+- **PAT receives 403 creating a repository:** verify scopes, organization repository-creation policy, membership, and SAML SSO authorization.
+- **GitHub App installation not found:** install the fleet App on the named test organization.
+- **GitHub App repository creation returns 403:** grant repository Administration write and verify the organization permits the App to create repositories.
+- **Workflow-file write returns 403:** grant the classic PAT's `workflow` scope or the App's Workflows write permission.

-# Applying the test fleet without a personal access token
+# Applying the test fleet with secret-backed credentials
 
-The fleet is designed to run with short-lived GitHub App installation tokens. No personal access token is stored in the repository, workflow, generated repositories, commits, or pull requests.
+The fleet supports two credential sources:
+
+1. a personal access token stored as the encrypted repository Actions secret `FLEET_GH_TOKEN`; or
+2. short-lived GitHub App installation tokens minted from `FLEET_APP_CLIENT_ID` and `FLEET_APP_PRIVATE_KEY`.
+
+The workflow input `authentication=auto` prefers `FLEET_GH_TOKEN` when it exists and otherwise uses the GitHub App. Explicit `pat` and `github-app` modes fail closed when their required secret-backed configuration is missing.
+
+No credential value belongs in the repository, workflow source, fleet manifest, generated repositories, commit messages, issue bodies, pull-request descriptions, workflow-dispatch inputs, or logs.

+## Personal access token contract
+
+Store the PAT in `zed-pkg-test/zed-pkg-e2e` as the repository Actions secret named exactly `FLEET_GH_TOKEN`.
+
+The token owner must be allowed to create repositories in every selected test organization. For a classic PAT that creates private repositories, use the `repo` scope. Include the `workflow` scope because generated harness commits may write files under `.github/workflows/`. Authorize the token for each organization when SAML SSO enforcement requires it.
+
+The workflow exposes the stored secret only to the selected job runner, writes it to that runner's `GH_TOKEN` environment through `GITHUB_ENV` without printing it, and discards the runner after the job. GitHub's encrypted Actions-secret store is the only persistent location expected by this path.
+
+Do not use an Actions variable for a token. Variables are not secret storage. Do not pass a token as a `workflow_dispatch` input.

 For every selected organization, the workflow:

-2. mints a short-lived installation token scoped to that organization;

-4. writes generated harnesses and immutable source pins;

 The matrix runs at most three organizations concurrently. Each organization invokes the bootstrap with concurrency one, limiting rate pressure and keeping failures isolated.
 
 ## Failure modes
 
-- **Installation not found:** install the fleet App on the named test organization.
-- **Repository creation returns 403:** grant repository Administration write and verify the organization permits the App to create repositories.
-- **Workflow-file write returns 403:** grant Workflows write in addition to Contents write.
-- **A newly created repository is inaccessible:** configure the installation for all repositories rather than selected repositories.
+- **`authentication=pat` reports a missing secret:** create the repository Actions secret `FLEET_GH_TOKEN`.
+- **PAT receives 401:** verify that the stored value is current and copied without surrounding whitespace.
+- **PAT receives 403 creating a repository:** verify scopes, organization repository-creation policy, membership, and SAML SSO authorization.
+- **GitHub App installation not found:** install the fleet App on the named test organization.
+- **GitHub App repository creation returns 403:** grant repository Administration write and verify the organization permits the App to create repositories.
+- **Workflow-file write returns 403:** grant the classic PAT's `workflow` scope or the App's Workflows write permission.
+- **A newly created repository is inaccessible to the App:** configure the installation for all repositories rather than selected repositories.
 - **Source repository cannot be resolved:** the generated repository remains source-gated; rerun after the source repository has a default-branch commit or after read access is granted.

Subject: [PATCH 0467/1172] feat: securely hand off and persist the fleet token

Add a one-time RSA-OAEP credential handoff, bind it to ORESoftware and the 18 in-scope test organizations, persist the credential only as the encrypted FLEET_GH_TOKEN Actions secret, dispatch the complete fleet apply, and delete temporary handoff material.

Subject: [PATCH 0483/1172] fix: keep Git askpass outside generated worktrees
 (#74)

Move the temporary credential helper outside generated repository worktrees, ignore unrelated untracked files when detecting generated changes, add a regression test, and validate it before serialized fleet recovery.

+# Current-main native lockfile provenance canary
+
+This canary certifies the exact additive `[[native-dependency]]` contract in
+`zed-pkg/zed-interfaces@a23cdd2ac509a39ca6fd6d21a3774fdd3a0f7660`.
+
+It runs from current E2E `main` and adds only this document, one read-only
+workflow, and a two-file external Rust consumer. It does not duplicate the
+range, native-registry, lifecycle, browser, install, graph, stress, source-map,
+or environment canaries already on `main`.
+
+The contract preserves legacy lockfile v1 parsing while freezing source-aware
+npm/Cargo resolutions as exact versions with immutable artifact SHA-256, size,
+and format. It validates entries during parse, write, and upsert; rejects
+canonical-requirement drift, duplicate `(registry, package.name)` identities,
+malformed artifact provenance, and unsatisfied exact locks; and writes package,
+native dependency, and Nix provenance in deterministic order.
+
+The focused workflow checks the exact candidate with formatting, deterministic
+schema regeneration, every locked test target, strict Clippy, an external
+consumer executed locked and offline, and current pinned CLI/API/web consumers.
+No registry credentials, publication route, moving product pin, or persisted
+checkout credentials are present.

 organizations (#92)

Scope the paced-executor exclusion assertion to standalone organization-selection lines. The canonical 287-repository plan still rejects r2g and r2g-test, while explanatory audit text may mention that they are excluded.

Subject: [PATCH 0569/1172] fix: validate nested generated gitlinks recursively
 (#93)

Generate validators with `git ls-tree -r HEAD` and add a real nested-gitlink regression. This preserves fail-closed validation for missing or path-mismatched submodule dependencies while eliminating false negatives for valid `vendor/<dependency>` gitlinks.

+# Canonical paired test-fleet index
+
+The live test-fleet manifest is stored as deterministic compressed/base64 parts under `bootstrap/test-org-fleet.json.gz.b64.parts/`.
+
+Use the deterministic exporter instead of copied spreadsheets, archived reports, or manually maintained counts:
+
+```bash
+node scripts/export-test-org-fleet-index.mjs > /tmp/canonical-test-fleet-index.json
+```
+
+The exporter includes, for every paired test organization:
+
+- retained baseline repositories;
+- the public `.github` governance repository;
+- every specialized managed repository;
+- managed and total expected counts; and
+- the exact expected repository-name set.
+
+It fails unless the live manifest still describes:
+
+- 18 production/test pairs;
+- 22 retained repositories;
+- 301 specialized repositories;
+- 18 governance repositories;
+- 319 managed repositories;
+- 341 total expected repositories; and
+- explicit exclusion of `r2g` and `r2g-test`.
+
+The fleet contract workflow publishes the full JSON index to its GitHub Actions job summary, making manifest changes visible in review before provisioning occurs.

+# Live paired test-fleet audit
+
+The canonical manifest describes 18 production/test organization pairs, 301 specialized repositories, 18 organization governance repositories, and 22 retained `zed-pkg-test` fixtures. Together these form 341 managed repository identities. `r2g` and `r2g-test` remain excluded.
+
+`node scripts/audit-live-test-org-fleet.mjs` compares the manifest with GitHub's current organization inventories. For each pair it reports:
+
+- canonical repositories present and missing;
+- independently added repositories, which are preserved as extras;
+- archived, disabled, or default-branch-less canonical repositories;
+- production and test organization repository counts; and
+- production-side hygiene findings as warnings.
+
+The default exit code is non-zero for missing canonical repositories or canonical test repositories with a hygiene failure. Extra repositories are not failures because later product-specific work must not be deleted or overwritten. Use `--strict-extras` only for an intentional exact-equality check.
+
+## Local use
+
+```sh
+GH_TOKEN="$(gh auth token)" node scripts/audit-live-test-org-fleet.mjs
+GH_TOKEN="$(gh auth token)" node scripts/audit-live-test-org-fleet.mjs --json > live-audit.json
+GH_TOKEN="$(gh auth token)" node scripts/audit-live-test-org-fleet.mjs --org shared-auth-test
+```
+
+The token needs only repository metadata read access. The auditor never writes GitHub state and never prints the token.
+
+## Automation
+
+`.github/workflows/live-test-org-fleet-audit.yml` runs unit contracts and the full live comparison on relevant pull requests, manifest changes on `main`, a daily schedule, and manual dispatch. It uses read-only permissions, a commit-pinned checkout action, and GitHub's ephemeral workflow token.
+
+The workflow writes the pair-by-pair table and exact missing names to the GitHub step summary. This makes portfolio drift visible without relying on a stale hand-maintained count table.

+# zed-pkg E2E documentation
+
+This directory records the cross-repository acceptance contracts maintained by
+`zed-pkg-test/zed-pkg-e2e`. Each canary is intended to prove behavior through a
+real compiled `zed` binary and disposable Git/package fixtures rather than only
+through unit-level implementation tests.
+
+## Git submodule certification
+
+The Git-submodule surface is split into complementary contracts so failures are
+attributable and the security boundaries remain explicit:
+
+- [`global-git-submodule-mode-canary.md`](global-git-submodule-mode-canary.md)
+  certifies the shared `--git-submodules[=true|false]` and
+  `ZED_PKG_GIT_SUBMODULES` contract for both `zed install` and
+  `zed overtake`, including recursive initialization, explicit CLI precedence,
+  migration into `.zpkg.toml` and `.zpkg.lock`, and idempotent takeover.
+- [`git-submodule-interop-canary.md`](git-submodule-interop-canary.md) certifies
+  baseline interoperability between Zed packages and Git-managed submodules,
+  including repositories where Git and Zed retain authority over different
+  paths.
+- [`git-submodule-pack-canary.md`](git-submodule-pack-canary.md) certifies the
+  archive, pack, and publication boundary so submodule metadata or unchecked
+  worktree state cannot silently enter a package artifact.
+
+Together these contracts cover transport, ownership migration, lock provenance,
+replay, and publication safety without treating Git submodules and Zed packages
+as mutually exclusive project models.
+
+## Canary requirements
+
+A permanent cross-repository canary should:
+
+1. pin every product, interface, fixture, and third-party Action input to an
+   immutable commit SHA;
+2. use read-only GitHub permissions unless a narrower write is explicitly part
+   of the behavior under test;
+3. disable persisted checkout credentials and clear inherited product tokens
+   before invoking `zed`;
+4. create disposable repositories, registries, homes, consumers, and worktrees
+   per job;
+5. exercise the release binary through its public CLI rather than importing
+   private implementation modules;
+6. verify the source checkout remains clean after the run; and
+7. retain bounded diagnostics or evidence sufficient to reproduce a failed
+   invariant.
+
+## Change process
+
+Behavioral changes should update the implementation repository and the matching
+acceptance contract in separate pull requests. During review, the canary pins
+the exact implementation PR head. After merge, that pin moves to the shipped
+merge commit so `main` continues to certify the artifact users actually receive.

+# Global Git-submodule compatibility canary
+
+This repository independently certifies the shared Git-submodule compatibility
+switch merged from [`zed-pkg/zed-cli#150`](https://github.com/zed-pkg/zed-cli/pull/150).
+The workflow pins the exact shipped merge commit:
+
+```text
+ff166471338e46729b7cf892b44240452a56ace6
+```
+
+and the exact public interface contract used by that commit:
+
+```text
+c2e049006453c26ca8ca291783f681fce75cb01f
+```
+
+## Contract boundary
+
+The black-box harness builds disposable local Git repositories and invokes only
+the compiled `zed` executable. It proves that one typed control surface works
+consistently for cooperative installation and takeover:
+
+- Git transport remains disabled by default;
+- `zed --git-submodules install` initializes top-level and nested submodules;
+- `zed install --git-submodules=false` overrides an inherited true environment;
+- `ZED_PKG_GIT_SUBMODULES=yes zed install` enables recursive initialization;
+- `zed --git-submodules overtake` adopts eligible `.gitmodules` entries into
+  `.zpkg.toml` and `.zpkg.lock` with exact package and commit provenance;
+- `zed overtake --git-submodules` and environment-only takeover are idempotent;
+- explicit false disables takeover without mutating the manifest or lock; and
+- root and takeover help expose the same option and environment key.
+
+The merged implementation's focused Rust tests and real-process interoperability
+test also run before the black-box contract. Linux additionally runs all-target
+Clippy with warnings denied.
+
+## Isolation
+
+The Ubuntu 24.04 and macOS 15 jobs use process-local `file` Git transport and an
+empty disposable `file://` package registry. They receive no Zed token, GitHub
+token, persisted checkout credential, publication credential, or public
+registry mutation capability. Action, product, and interface inputs are pinned
+by immutable full commit SHA.
+
+The existing twelve-check Git-submodule canary remains the broader certification
+for takeover, mixed repositories, frozen replay, drift rejection, and rollback.
+This focused lane is additive: it certifies the shared global CLI/environment
+routing on the exact commit now present on `zed-cli` `main`.

+## Visibility requirement
+
+An exact audit requires metadata visibility into private repositories across all 18 test organizations. The repository-scoped `GITHUB_TOKEN` issued to `zed-pkg-test/zed-pkg-e2e` cannot provide that visibility: it can enumerate public sibling repositories but not private repositories owned by the other organizations. Treating that token as authoritative produces false missing-repository findings.

+- a short-lived installation token produced by an organization-approved GitHub App and passed to the workflow under the same secret name.

+
+          - Keep changes reviewable, tested, and reversible.
+          - Treat security, privacy, compatibility, and data durability as design constraints.
+          - Resolve merge conflicts semantically: reconstruct both sides' intent, preserve compatible behavior, and document deliberate trade-offs.
+          - Prefer canonical repositories and short, stable names; deprecate duplicates with migration notes rather than silently deleting history.
+          - Keep cross-repository dependencies explicit and pinned where reproducibility matters.

+          3. Preserve public APIs, data formats, and operational behavior unless the change intentionally migrates them.
+          4. Keep generated files reproducible and identify their source.
+          5. Never resolve conflicts by blindly choosing "ours" or "theirs". Inspect the base, both branches, nearby history, tests, and downstream consumers; then construct the smallest coherent combined result.

+"""Hermetic acceptance test for native dependencies and install hooks.
+
+The test publishes two local Zed packages into a file registry, installs their
+transitive graph with a fake apt-get binary, and verifies permission ordering,
+argv safety, graph-wide de-duplication, writable staging, lifecycle ordering,
+cache reuse, immutable source-store behavior, and Nix derivation purity.

+# Publication immutability canary
+
+This canary certifies the registry behavior required by deterministic builders
+such as Nix and by every native-registry export that treats a public version as
+an immutable identity.
+
+## Contract
+
+For one `{org, name, version}` publication:
+
+1. the first upload creates content-addressed artifact and version metadata;
+2. an exact retry is idempotent and changes no registry byte;
+3. a retry with changed artifact bytes and the same package identity fails;
+4. the failed retry changes no metadata, artifact, yank state, or index object;
+5. the artifact referenced by the original metadata still matches its SHA-256.
+
+The test does not accept “last writer wins.” Replacing bytes behind a version
+would invalidate `.zpkg.lock`, Nix fixed-output derivations, remote caches, and
+native-registry attestations.
+
+## Isolation and reproducibility
+
+`.github/workflows/publication-immutability.yml` builds one exact `zed-cli`
+commit, verifies the binary checksum, and tests immutable commits of both a Node
+and Rust fixture. Each matrix job owns a fresh directory-backed `file://`
+registry and fresh Zed homes.
+
+The canary clears `ZED_PKG_TOKEN`, disables interactive Git authentication,
+never contacts the public Zed registry, and checks that the fixture checkout
+remains clean. Third-party Actions, the CLI, interfaces crate, and fixtures are
+all pinned to full commit SHAs.
+
+## Test sequence
+
+`scripts/publication_immutability.py` performs the following black-box sequence:
+
+- publish the fixture;
+- verify metadata and content-addressed artifact SHA-256;
+- snapshot every registry file;
+- republish the identical source and require the same complete snapshot;
+- locate a source file that is actually present in the emitted tarball;
+- mutate that file while preserving package name and version;
+- pack again and prove that the candidate artifact digest changed;
+- attempt the same-version publication and require failure;
+- require the complete registry snapshot to remain unchanged;
+- re-verify the original metadata and artifact digest.
+
+A JSON evidence summary and command log remain under the job work root. On
+failure, the workflow uploads the source status, registry checksums, tree
+listing, logs, and summary for inspection.
+
+## Local invocation
+
+Build the selected CLI, then run against a clean fixture checkout:
+
+```bash
+python3 scripts/publication_immutability.py \
+  --fixture-dir ../node-lib \
+  --zed ../zed-cli/target/release/zed \
+  --work-root /tmp/zed-publication-immutability
+```
+
+The work root must not already exist. It is intentionally retained after the
+run so the registry and evidence can be audited.

Subject: [PATCH 0704/1172] test: export the canonical paired test-fleet index
 (#94)

Add a deterministic, CI-verified JSON export for all 18 production/test organization pairs and their 341 expected repositories. Preserve explicit r2g/r2g-test exclusion and publish the index to the workflow summary.

+# Canonical paired test-fleet index
+
+The live test-fleet manifest is stored as deterministic compressed/base64 parts under `bootstrap/test-org-fleet.json.gz.b64.parts/`.
+
+Use the deterministic exporter instead of copied spreadsheets, archived reports, or manually maintained counts:
+
+```bash
+node scripts/export-test-org-fleet-index.mjs > /tmp/canonical-test-fleet-index.json
+```
+
+The exporter includes, for every paired test organization:
+
+- retained baseline repositories;
+- the public `.github` governance repository;
+- every specialized managed repository;
+- managed and total expected counts; and
+- the exact expected repository-name set.
+
+It fails unless the live manifest still describes:
+
+- 18 production/test pairs;
+- 22 retained repositories;
+- 301 specialized repositories;
+- 18 governance repositories;
+- 319 managed repositories;
+- 341 total expected repositories; and
+- explicit exclusion of `r2g` and `r2g-test`.
+
+The fleet contract workflow publishes the full JSON index to its GitHub Actions job summary, making manifest changes visible in review before provisioning occurs.

+# Canonical task CLI certification
+
+This suite independently certifies the product candidate that exposes the
+native schema-v2 task runtime through both:
+
+```console
+zed task ...
+zed-task ...
+```
+
+The two executable surfaces must route through one implementation and produce
+identical observable results for the certified subset. The test repository does
+not import Rust helpers from the product and does not execute mise, asdf,
+Devbox, Flox, Nix, or manager plugins.
+
+## Exact-head contract
+
+The workflow checks out a full 40-character `zed-pkg/zed-cli` commit, verifies
+the checkout identity, builds `zed` and `zed-task`, and runs fresh-process tests
+on Ubuntu, macOS, and Windows. JSON evidence records the candidate SHA,
+platform, binary versions, and each case result.
+
+A commit after the recorded candidate invalidates the evidence until the
+workflow is repinned or manually dispatched with the new SHA.
+
+## Certified behavior
+
+- Byte-identical canonical/staged JSON and diagnostic streams for `list`,
+  `info`, `graph`, and dry-run execution.
+- Alias resolution and deterministic task ordering.
+- Real dependency execution with scalar environment propagation.
+- Argument transport through `ZED_TASK_ARGC`, `ZED_TASK_ARGS_JSON`, and
+  `ZED_TASK_ARG_<n>` without argument interpolation into the task command.
+- Content-verified source/output caching, exact replay skipping, and rerun after
+  source drift.
+- Cache records limited to schema, task name, SHA-256 identities, and output
+  paths rather than environment values.
+- Rejection of zero concurrency before execution.
+- Rejection of live child output mixed into JSON reports.
+- Confirmation required before a protected task mutates the project.
+- Explicit `--yes` approval executes the same task afterward.
+
+## Non-claims
+
+This canary does not certify task-local tool installation, secret providers,
+template evaluation, sandboxing, network policy, process-tree cancellation,
+watch mode, or manager-native task parsing. Those remain explicit product and
+certification slices.
+
+Runtime execution itself requires no network and uses only temporary project,
+home, cache, and evidence paths. Cargo may access its normal dependency sources
+while building the reviewed candidate; that build activity is separate from the
+runtime claim.
+
+## Evidence schema
+
+Each platform uploads one JSON artifact using:
+
+```text
+zed-pkg-test/canonical-task-canary/v1
+```
+
+The report contains no environment values or credentials. Failure details are
+bounded to command diagnostics and assertion context generated inside the
+temporary fixture.

+# IDE integration sandbox
+
+This directory certifies the shared Zed Package Manager IDE contract without using a developer's real package home, credentials, or registry.
+
+The workflow checks the two live integrations and the five publication candidates using their native toolchains. Full GUI smoke tests remain a promotion gate for dedicated repositories and clean editor instances.

+# IDE integration sandbox
+
+This directory certifies the shared Zed Package Manager IDE contract without using a developer's real package home, credentials, or registry.
+
+The workflow checks the two live integrations and the five publication candidates using their native toolchains. Full GUI smoke tests remain a promotion gate for dedicated repositories and clean editor instances.

Subject: [PATCH 0729/1172] ci: self-test polyglot workflow changes (#107)

Subject: [PATCH 0733/1172] fix: make polyglot SDK E2E matrix authoritative
 (#106)

Repair test-org polyglot execution by installing real toolchains, checking required executables, building TypeScript before runtime tests, wiring the Rust/WASM interfaces sibling, handling PHP packages without native test scripts, and treating undeclared SDK surfaces as optional discovery lanes.

+# Federated `zed-pkg-test` scenario acceptance
+
+This harness turns four independent repositories in the `zed-pkg-test` organization into one executable acceptance layer for a checksum-verified `zed` release-candidate binary.
+
+## Covered repositories
+
+| Test repository | Executable acceptance surface |
+| --- | --- |
+| `zed-pkg-test/offline-cache-e2e` | cold install, offline frozen replay, shared cache reuse, corrupt-cache rejection, and immutable-registry recovery |
+| `zed-pkg-test/version-solver-e2e` | compatible-range selection, exact pins, deterministic conflict diagnostics, and stable SemVer build-metadata outcomes |
+| `zed-pkg-test/security-adversarial-e2e` | symlink containment, target traversal rejection, explicit build-hook consent, and tampered-lock fail-closed behavior |
+| `zed-pkg-test/manager-interop-e2e` | parser-only/read-only mise and asdf verification, ambiguity rejection, moving-selector rejection, and typed unsupported-manager boundaries |
+
+The scenario runner creates isolated registries, homes, consumers, and package graphs under a disposable root. It does not mutate any of the four source repositories.
+
+## Binary provenance
+
+The workflow queries the public `zed-pkg/zed-cli` Actions artifact inventory for the newest non-expired `zed-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` artifact produced from a `release/**` branch. Before execution it verifies:
+
+1. the downloaded Actions artifact ZIP against GitHub's recorded `sha256:` digest;
+2. the inner `zed-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz` against the checksum packaged by the release workflow;
+3. the source commit recorded on the selected workflow artifact.
+
+The JSON report records the CLI version, source commit, inner archive SHA-256, suite inventory, and every individual check.
+
+## August 6, 2026 evidence
+
+The first execution used:
+
+- CLI: `zed 0.1.0`
+- source commit: `2f98df7b0f3f20bd8eaec6abbe768566833589bc`
+- inner archive SHA-256: `ed55e39811cac6303162536397562ed004c96c4cd7e09b531f0d323f59142aff`
+- result: **4 suites and 19 checks passed**
+
+The machine-readable receipt is retained at `evidence/2026-08-06-zed-0.1.0-rc3-test-org.json`.
+
+## Running locally
+
+```bash
+ZED_BIN=/absolute/path/to/zed \
+ZED_BINARY_ARCHIVE=/absolute/path/to/zed-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz \
+ZED_SOURCE_COMMIT=<40-character-commit> \
+ZED_E2E_ROOT=/tmp/zed-test-org-federation \
+ZED_E2E_REPORT=/tmp/federated-test-org-report.json \
+python3 scripts/run-federated-test-org-scenarios.py
+```
+
+The runner exits nonzero on the first failed invariant and still prints the partial JSON report to stderr.
+
+## Scheduled execution
+
+`.github/workflows/federated-test-org-scenarios.yml` runs daily in the test organization and supports manual dispatch. The workflow has read-only repository and Actions permissions. Cross-repository artifact access uses `TEST_FLEET_READ_TOKEN` when configured and otherwise attempts the ephemeral GitHub token.
+
+A passing workflow must report exactly these four suites and exactly 19 passing checks. Adding or removing checks therefore requires an intentional harness update rather than silently changing the acceptance surface.

Subject: [PATCH 0740/1172] test: federate four zed-pkg-test scenario suites
 (#108)

Add checksum-verified acceptance testing across offline-cache-e2e, version-solver-e2e, security-adversarial-e2e, and manager-interop-e2e. Record the initial 19/19 RC3 receipt, retain failure logs, and schedule daily execution in the test organization.

+# Federated `zed-pkg-test` scenario acceptance
+
+This harness turns four independent repositories in the `zed-pkg-test` organization into one executable acceptance layer for a checksum-verified `zed` release-candidate binary.
+
+## Covered repositories
+
+| Test repository | Executable acceptance surface |
+| --- | --- |
+| `zed-pkg-test/offline-cache-e2e` | cold install, offline frozen replay, shared cache reuse, corrupt-cache rejection, and immutable-registry recovery |
+| `zed-pkg-test/version-solver-e2e` | compatible-range selection, exact pins, deterministic conflict diagnostics, and stable SemVer build-metadata outcomes |
+| `zed-pkg-test/security-adversarial-e2e` | symlink containment, target traversal rejection, explicit build-hook consent, and tampered-lock fail-closed behavior |
+| `zed-pkg-test/manager-interop-e2e` | parser-only/read-only mise and asdf verification, ambiguity rejection, moving-selector rejection, and typed unsupported-manager boundaries |
+
+The scenario runner creates isolated registries, homes, consumers, and package graphs under a disposable root. It does not mutate any of the four source repositories.
+
+## Binary provenance
+
+The workflow queries the public `zed-pkg/zed-cli` Actions artifact inventory for the newest non-expired `zed-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` artifact produced from a `release/**` branch. Before execution it verifies:
+
+1. the downloaded Actions artifact ZIP against GitHub's recorded `sha256:` digest;
+2. the inner `zed-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz` against the checksum packaged by the release workflow;
+3. the source commit recorded on the selected workflow artifact.
+
+The JSON report records the CLI version, source commit, inner archive SHA-256, suite inventory, and every individual check.
+
+## August 6, 2026 evidence
+
+The first execution used:
+
+- CLI: `zed 0.1.0`
+- source commit: `2f98df7b0f3f20bd8eaec6abbe768566833589bc`
+- inner archive SHA-256: `ed55e39811cac6303162536397562ed004c96c4cd7e09b531f0d323f59142aff`
+- result: **4 suites and 19 checks passed**
+
+The machine-readable receipt is retained at `evidence/2026-08-06-zed-0.1.0-rc3-test-org.json`.
+
+## Running locally
+
+```bash
+ZED_BIN=/absolute/path/to/zed \
+ZED_BINARY_ARCHIVE=/absolute/path/to/zed-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz \
+ZED_SOURCE_COMMIT=<40-character-commit> \
+ZED_E2E_ROOT=/tmp/zed-test-org-federation \
+ZED_E2E_REPORT=/tmp/federated-test-org-report.json \
+python3 scripts/run-federated-test-org-scenarios.py
+```
+
+The runner exits nonzero on the first failed invariant and still prints the partial JSON report to stderr.
+
+## Scheduled execution
+
+`.github/workflows/federated-test-org-scenarios.yml` runs daily in the test organization and supports manual dispatch. The workflow has read-only repository and Actions permissions. Cross-repository artifact access uses `TEST_FLEET_READ_TOKEN` when configured and otherwise attempts the ephemeral GitHub token.
+
+A passing workflow must report exactly these four suites and exactly 19 passing checks. Adding or removing checks therefore requires an intentional harness update rather than silently changing the acceptance surface.

Subject: [PATCH 0743/1172] ci: repair the dead workflow_run chain on the live
 fleet verifier
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

`verify-live-test-org-fleet.yml` waited on a workflow named "run
authoritative test organization fleet on ARM64". No workflow on `main`
declares that name: the file that does, `run-test-org-fleet-arm64.yml`,
exists only on the unmerged `agent/run-fleet-arm64` branch (b49fad9), while
the verifier itself was merged to `main` in dfb1677.

The chain was therefore dead twice over. GitHub resolves
`workflow_run.workflows` against workflows on the default branch, where the
upstream does not exist; and even had it been merged, that workflow only
triggers on pushes to `agent/run-fleet-arm64`, whereas `workflow_run` fires
only for runs of the default branch. This verification has never executed.

- chain from the five fleet writers that do exist on `main` and do run there
- run the credential-free contract job on push and pull_request as well, so a
  change to the verifier is exercised by its own pull request
- split the credential-free contract from live verification. The live check
  asserts the state of 18 external organizations, which no pull request diff
  can influence, and `secrets.FLEET_GH_TOKEN` is not exposed to fork pull
  requests; it stays on workflow_run, push-to-main, and workflow_dispatch
- fail loudly with an explicit message when the fleet PAT is absent instead of
  failing on a bare `test -n`
- add tests/workflow-trigger-references.test.mjs, which fails the build if any
  `workflow_run` reference in the repository names a workflow nothing declares

The new test reproduces the defect: restoring the old name turns both cases
red with "waits on 'run authoritative test organization fleet on ARM64' — no
workflow declares it".

Subject: [PATCH 0744/1172] ci: repair the dead workflow_run chain on the live
 fleet verifier (#110)

Chain the live fleet verifier from default-branch fleet writers, add direct verifier contract triggers, fail loudly when live credentials are absent, and ratchet workflow_run references so dangling trigger names cannot silently recur.

Subject: [PATCH 0753/1172] test(DEN-2861): static registry protocol fixture +
 conformance harness (sketch v0)

Proves the static read-path constraint end-to-end: deterministic tree
(generator), integrity/yank/absent conformance (checker), five mutation red
tests (vacuity rule), and a live PASS over public r2.dev from the dedicated
zed-pkg-static-registry-e2e bucket with per-class cache-control verified.

Feeds DEN-2854 (RFC operational findings: UA filtering on r2.dev, managed-
domain propagation window, cache-header fidelity, determinism recipe),
DEN-2857 (export shape), DEN-2861 (static arm groundwork).

+# static-registry-protocol — fixture + conformance harness (sketch v0)
+
+Groundwork for the zpkg registry-protocol work in Linear project **zpkg
+Self-Hosted Registries and Private Deps**: the protocol RFC (DEN-2854), the
+static read-only export (DEN-2857), and the static arm of the e2e certification
+(DEN-2861). GitHub anchor: `zed-pkg/zed-interfaces#45`.
+
+This is **not** the final protocol. It exists to make the load-bearing design
+constraint testable *now*:
+
+> the public read path is plain files — an entire registry read side must be
+> servable by dumb object/static hosting with no running daemon.
+
+What v0 deliberately omits (owned by the DEN-2854 RFC): `registry_id` and trust
+roots, signed checkpoints (the `checkpoint.json` here has a `signature: null`
+slot), lifecycle states beyond `yanked`, and projection/target semantics.
+
+## Layout produced
+
+```
+.well-known/zpkg-registry.json   discovery: schema_version, endpoints,
+                                 auth_modes=[none], publish_supported=false
+index/<org>/<name>               NDJSON; one line per version, ascending semver:
+                                 {version, deps, cksum:"sha256:…", size, yanked}
+pkgs/<org>/<name>/<ver>.tar.zst  content-addressed deterministic tarballs
+checkpoint.json                  {seq, files:[{path,sha256,size}], tree_sha256,
+                                 signature:null}
+```
+
+Org segments must already be lowercase canonical form (the generator hard-fails
+otherwise — the wrong-org-segment bug class dies at build time).
+
+## Tools
+
+- `build_static_registry.py --fixtures fixtures --out tree` — deterministic
+  build: ustar, sorted entries, `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` (default 0), uid/gid 0,
+  `zstd -19`. Two builds of the same fixtures are byte-identical.
+- `check_static_registry.py --base <dir|https://host>` — conformance: discovery
+  sanity, checkpoint↔object integrity, NDJSON/semver/cksum verification, yank
+  semantics (unresolvable but bytes retained), absent-package hard miss.
+- `check_static_registry.py --base <dir> self-test` — **red tests**: five
+  mutations (tarball tamper, index tamper, checkpoint drop, yank resurrection,
+  wrong schema) must each turn the checker red. A green run is only meaningful
+  because these prove red is reachable (same vacuity rule as DEN-2861).
+- `sync_to_r2.sh <tree> <bucket>` — uploads with the protocol's cache
+  semantics: `pkgs/**` → `public, max-age=31536000, immutable`;
+  index/discovery/checkpoint → `public, max-age=60, stale-while-revalidate=600`.
+
+## Live fixture (2026-08-08)
+
+- Bucket: `zed-pkg-static-registry-e2e` (dedicated; do **not** reuse
+  `zed-pkg-artifacts-e2e`, which belongs to the API-path R2 certification, and
+  never the prod `zed-pkg-artifacts`).
+- Public base: `https://pub-9b365e012501426c9de90d2746deac9d.r2.dev`
+  (r2.dev is rate-limited and not a production surface; fine for e2e).
+- `evidence/` holds the recorded local + live runs.
+
+## Operational findings worth carrying into the RFC (DEN-2854)
+
+1. **r2.dev filters script User-Agents**: `Python-urllib/3.9` gets `403`;
+   curl's UA and a custom `zpkg-static-registry-check/0` UA pass. Registry
+   clients must always send an identifying UA; conformance tooling can't rely
+   on language-default agents.
+2. **Managed-domain enablement propagates asynchronously**: the first ~minutes
+   after enabling the r2.dev domain returned intermittent `403`s. Tooling that
+   provisions a static registry must retry/verify before declaring it live.
+3. Per-class `Cache-Control` survives verbatim through R2 (verified in response
+   headers) — the immutable-pkgs / short-TTL-index split the caching plan
+   assumes is enforceable from object metadata alone.
+4. Deterministic `.tar.zst` needs all of: ustar format, sorted entries, zeroed

+"""Build a deterministic static zpkg registry tree (protocol sketch v0).
+
+Groundwork fixture for the registry protocol RFC (Linear DEN-2854) and the
+static-export / e2e phases (DEN-2857, DEN-2861). The signed-checkpoint design
+is owned by the RFC; this v0 emits an UNSIGNED checkpoint structured so a
+signature slots in without changing the tree layout.
+
+Layout produced under --out:
+  .well-known/zpkg-registry.json      discovery document
+  index/<org>/<name>                  NDJSON, one line per version (semver order)
+  pkgs/<org>/<name>/<version>.tar.zst content-addressed deterministic tarballs
+  checkpoint.json                     {schema_version, seq, generated_at,
+                                       files:[{path,sha256,size}], tree_sha256}
+
+Determinism: tar entries sorted, mtime/uid/gid zeroed via SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
+(default 0), zstd -19 with a pinned-version note recorded in the checkpoint.
+Same inputs => byte-identical tree (verified by check_static_registry.py

+`.github/workflows/static-registry-protocol.yml` runs the local contract on
+Ubuntu 24.04 and macOS 15 with read-only repository permissions and immutable
+Action pins. Each job:
+
+1. verifies the pinned Python and runner-provided `zstd` boundary;
+2. builds the registry twice in unrelated temporary directories with
+   `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=0`;
+3. compares the complete sorted path/size/SHA-256 inventory byte-for-byte;
+4. runs the green conformance check;
+5. runs all five red mutations and requires every one to fail;
+6. proves the source checkout remained unchanged; and
+7. uploads bounded commit-addressed local evidence for seven days.
+
+The permanent workflow reads no GitHub, Cloudflare, R2, registry, signing, or
+shared-auth secret. Live object-store synchronization remains a separate manual
+and environment-gated operation; a pull request can certify the protocol
+fixture without network access or infrastructure authority.

+# Independent `zed gitops` external-dispatch canary
+
+This canary certifies the root-command dispatch layer introduced for DEN-2725 against one exact immutable `zed-pkg/zed-cli` commit. It runs in the `zed-pkg-test` organization so the evidence is independent of the product repository and its branch-local tests.
+
+## Certified boundary
+
+On Ubuntu 24.04, macOS 15, and Windows Server 2025, the workflow:
+
+1. checks out the exact 40-character product commit without persisted credentials;
+2. runs rustfmt, the focused external-subcommand unit and integration suites, and strict Clippy;
+3. builds exact release `zed` and `zed-gitops` binaries;
+4. compiles a standard-library-only probe executable used as an untrusted external command; and
+5. runs an independent black-box harness against copied binaries and disposable Git repositories.
+
+The harness proves:
+
+- the Zed package installs both sibling executables and its smoke test exercises root dispatch;
+- root help and Bash completion expose `gitops validate`;
+- `zed gitops ...` and `zed help gitops` reach the sibling validator;
+- direct and root-dispatched validation return identical structured reports for a valid exact-gitlink catalog;
+- online-mode omission fails explicitly until online evidence exists;
+- pin drift propagates policy exit code 2 and the `source.pin-drift` diagnostic;
+- a missing documented validator fails closed with an actionable message;
+- the current working directory and relative `PATH` entries are never searched;
+- the sibling `zed-gitops` executable wins over a same-named executable in an absolute `PATH` directory;
+- arbitrary arguments are not rewritten by a shell;
+- explicitly supplied root options become the expected child environment variables;
+- child exit status is preserved; and
+- a `zed-install` executable cannot shadow the built-in `install` command.
+
+Each platform emits commit-addressed JSON evidence under schema:
+
+```text
+zed-pkg-test/gitops-dispatch-canary/v1
+```
+
+The evidence contains only the immutable candidate, platform identity, binary SHA-256 values, and passed check names. It does not record command environments or credentials.
+
+## Isolation
+
+The workflow has read-only repository permission and all third-party Actions are pinned to immutable commits. Product and harness checkouts use `persist-credentials: false`. The black-box subprocess environment removes token, secret, password, private-key, access-key, API-key, authorization, cookie, and inherited Zed credential variables before invoking either binary or the probe.
+
+The fixture uses only a disposable local Git index and a synthetic mode-160000 gitlink. It performs no clone, push, registry access, Kubernetes mutation, Argo CD reconciliation, Cloudflare API call, or persistent namespace write.
+
+## Coordination
+
+- Product implementation: `zed-pkg/zed-cli#230`
+- Standalone validator baseline: `zed-pkg/zed-cli#224`
+- Linear: `DEN-2725`
+- Portfolio roadmap: `ORESoftware/k8s-cluster#1097`
+
+This canary certifies command discovery and process boundaries. It does not activate the inert ApplicationSet pilot and does not claim online repository reachability, cluster access, or deployment authority.

-  build: ustar, sorted entries, `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` (default 0), uid/gid 0,
-  `zstd -19`. Two builds of the same fixtures are byte-identical.
-- `check_static_registry.py --base <dir|https://host>` — conformance: discovery

-  trees must contain exactly the checkpointed objects plus `checkpoint.json`;
-  uncheckpointed files, symlinks, and special files are rejected.
-- `check_static_registry.py --base <dir> self-test` — **red tests**: six
-  mutations (tarball tamper, index tamper, checkpoint drop, yank resurrection,
-  wrong schema, uncheckpointed object) must each turn the checker red. A green
-  run is meaningful only because these prove red is reachable.
-- `sync_to_r2.sh <tree> <bucket>` — verifies the local tree, uploads immutable
-  `pkgs/**` with one-year immutable caching, uploads mutable v0 discovery/index
-  objects with `no-cache`, and publishes `checkpoint.json` last. Replacing an
-  existing v0 checkpoint fails closed unless an operator explicitly sets
-  `ZPKG_ALLOW_V0_REPLACE=true` for a disposable non-production experiment.

+# Real `k8s-cluster` GitOps contract certification
+
+This test-org lane validates the actual merged ORESoftware GitOps contract rather than only a synthetic fixture.
+
+## Immutable inputs
+
+The default certification pins both repositories by full commit:
+
+- `zed-pkg/zed-cli@ace157406d04f338698b6dc93a77021b07560e72`
+- `ORESoftware/k8s-cluster@cfe39128e309936a4bcaeca4aaa35e4b9bec8888`
+
+The Zed commit contains the standalone validator plus the reviewed root `zed gitops ...` dispatch candidate. The cluster commit contains the merged v1alpha1 catalog, exact-pin validator, deterministic preview renderer, and inert ApplicationSet pilot from DEN-2724.
+
+## What the workflow proves
+
+The workflow checks out both public repositories without persisted credentials or submodule materialization, verifies the exact commit identities, and then:
+
+1. runs the focused Zed root-dispatch integration test;
+2. runs the native `k8s-cluster` GitOps validator test suite;
+3. builds exact release `zed` and `zed-gitops` siblings;
+4. runs the native cluster validator and deterministic preview renderer against the real Git index and catalog;
+5. runs both `zed-gitops validate` and root-dispatched `zed gitops validate` against that same checkout;
+6. requires identical root/standalone reports and agreement with the native validator's record count;
+7. verifies the real catalog retains exact gitlink-to-source pin parity and `pilot-inert` migration posture;
+8. verifies the ApplicationSet template retains `missingkey=error`, exact child target revisions, collision-free names, and its explicit inert annotation; and
+9. proves no other Argo YAML/JSON file references the pilot ApplicationSet by name or filename.
+
+The resulting artifact uses schema:
+
+```text
+zed-pkg-test/real-k8s-gitops-contract/v1
+```
+
+It contains only the two immutable commits, report and preview SHA-256 values, record counts, and passed check names.
+
+## Isolation and non-goals
+
+The workflow has read-only repository permission. All Actions are pinned to immutable commits, all checkouts disable persisted credentials, and subprocesses remove credential-shaped environment variables.
+
+It performs no submodule clone, private repository read, registry write, Kubernetes mutation, Argo CD reconciliation, Cloudflare request, DNS change, R2 access, or persistent namespace operation. Passing this contract does **not** authorize activation of the pilot ApplicationSet. Activation still requires a separate production PR with ownership parity, prune/deletion behavior, and rollback evidence.
+
+## Coordination
+
+- Cluster implementation: `ORESoftware/k8s-cluster#1109`
+- Root dispatch: `zed-pkg/zed-cli#230`
+- Three-platform dispatch canary: `zed-pkg-test/zed-pkg-e2e#118`
+- GitOps roadmap: `ORESoftware/k8s-cluster#1097`
+- Linear: `DEN-2724`, `DEN-2725`, and `DEN-630`

+# Generated test-org source certification
+
+The paired `*-test` repositories have two different evidence lanes. They must never be reported as equivalent.
+
+## Credential-free contract lane
+
+Every generated repository has a pull-request workflow that validates the committed test plan, immutable source pins, declared dependency lanes, and any product-specific tests added outside the generated file set.
+
+This lane deliberately receives no cross-organization credential. It can prove that the committed snapshot is internally coherent, but it cannot prove that a private source repository still matches the snapshot or compiles at the pinned commit.
+
+Product-specific overlays are preserved. The fleet generator owns only its explicit managed paths, including `README.md`, `test-plan.json`, `source-pins.json`, generated workflows, dependency metadata, and source gates. Files such as executable fixtures, browser suites, contract parsers, and product-specific workflows remain repository-owned. A fleet rerun must update managed files without deleting or replacing those overlays.
+
+## Protected source-integration lane
+
+The generated integration workflow runs only when the organization variable `ENABLE_TEST_FLEET_INTEGRATION` is exactly `true` and the protected secret `TEST_FLEET_READ_TOKEN` is configured.
+
+The token is passed only to the pinned checkout action. Generated workflows must not fall back to `github.token`, because the repository token does not establish the intended cross-organization read authority and can turn a missing credential into a misleading partial run. Persisted checkout credentials remain disabled.
+
+A successful protected lane may certify the exact source pin only after its product-specific executable tests pass. A skipped lane is **not** source certification.
+
+## Durable status artifact
+
+Every generated integration workflow includes a separate `certification-status` job with `if: always()`. It records:
+
+- whether the protected lane was enabled;
+- whether it executed;
+- whether it passed and therefore certified the source pin;
+- the raw dependency-job result;
+- a bounded reason string.
+
+Expected meanings:
+
+| Integration result | `executed` | `certified` | Meaning |
+|---|---:|---:|---|
+| `success` | true | true | Protected source integration passed. |
+| `failure` / `cancelled` | true | false | Integration executed but did not certify the source. |
+| `skipped` | false | false | Variable or protected credential lane was not enabled. |
+
+The JSON status artifact contains no source credential and is safe to retain as test evidence.
+
+## Update protocol
+
+1. Reconcile source changes in the owning repository first.
+2. Record an immutable source commit in the generated plan.
+3. Preserve all product-specific overlay files.
+4. Run the credential-free contract lane on the harness pull request.
+5. Enable and run the protected source lane before claiming source compilation or integration certification.
+6. Link the status artifact and product evidence from the source pull request and Linear issue.
+7. When conflicts occur, preserve runtime behavior, documentation, client compatibility, and security policy as separate meanings. Never choose an entire conflict side solely because it is newer.
+
+## Security boundary
+
+Credentials belong only in protected organization or repository secrets. Do not place a PAT, GitHub App private key, cloud credential, or source token in generated plans, repository files, workflow inputs, command-line arguments, summaries, artifacts, issues, or Linear documents.

+# Terminal-context certification
+
+This repository independently certifies the terminal/TTY/shell context behavior owned by `zed-pkg/zed-cli`.
+
+Canonical production ownership:
+
+- Linear: `DEN-2591`
+- implementation: `zed-pkg/zed-cli#219`
+- shipped merge: `ad6ff369a763f0fbdc3b677894655c73b23e062c`
+- companion flags2env API: `DEN-2581` / `ORESoftware/flags-2-env#24`
+- policy documentation: `zed-pkg/zed-docs#55`
+- test-org acceptance: `DEN-2925` / `zed-pkg-test/zed-pkg-e2e#123`
+
+## Why this lives in the test organization
+
+The production repository already has unit, Docker, macOS, and Windows coverage. This test-org gate is deliberately independent: it checks out an immutable shipped candidate and immutable `zed-pkg-test` fixtures, builds that candidate on native GitHub runners, and drives the resulting executable as a consumer would.
+
+A failure here is not fixed by adding a second terminal detector to the test harness. The defect is filed against the owning production repository, fixed there, and then re-certified here.
+
+## Platform matrix
+
+The workflow runs on:
+
+- Ubuntu 24.04;
+- macOS 15;
+- Windows Server 2025.
+
+Every lane checks exact Git commit pins before testing.
+
+## Acceptance contract
+
+The workflow runs the production `terminal_context` and `interactive` Rust unit contracts and then exercises the built CLI against exact `zed-pkg-test/rust-lib` and `zed-pkg-test/rust-app` fixtures through a temporary local file registry.
+
+The black-box assertions are:

+1. Piped `yes` is not human consent in ordinary CI/non-TTY execution.
+2. Forced terminal stdin and stderr do not bypass CI when CI is forced true.
+3. `TERM=dumb` remains fail-closed even with terminal state forced true and CI cleared.
+4. The documented `ZED_PKG_FORCE_*` controls can explicitly simulate a safe terminal for deterministic testing.
+5. The shared `F2E_FORCE_*` spellings produce the same accepted behavior without Zed-specific force variables present.
+6. stdout may remain redirected while stderr carries the interactive checkpoint.
+7. A rejected checkpoint leaves the installed package intact.
+8. An accepted checkpoint performs the uninstall.
+9. Linux and macOS additionally exercise the production `forkpty()` harness with a real pseudo-terminal; Windows uses the deterministic override path because that upstream helper is Unix-specific.
+
+## Security and permissions
+
+The certification workflow uses only `contents: read`. It does not require GitHub PATs, Linear tokens, Cloudflare credentials, registry credentials, or any other secret. Local package publication uses a temporary `file://` registry owned by the runner.
+
+The workflow must never copy user-supplied credentials into source, logs, artifacts, issue bodies, or environment variables.

 This canary certifies the root-command dispatch layer introduced for DEN-2725 against one exact immutable `zed-pkg/zed-cli` commit. It runs in the `zed-pkg-test` organization so the evidence is independent of the product repository and its branch-local tests.
 
+The current product authority is `zed-pkg/zed-cli#233`. The earlier #230 branch was intentionally closed as a duplicate after #233 incorporated the same safe sibling-dispatch model plus reviewed trailing-root-option, literal-double-dash, and malformed-boolean behavior.

 ## Isolation
 
 The workflow has read-only repository permission and all third-party Actions are pinned to immutable commits. Product and harness checkouts use `persist-credentials: false`. The black-box subprocess environment removes token, secret, password, private-key, access-key, API-key, authorization, cookie, and inherited Zed credential variables before invoking either binary or the probe.

+# Generated test-org source certification
+
+The paired `*-test` repositories have two different evidence lanes. They must never be reported as equivalent.
+
+## Credential-free contract lane
+
+Every generated repository has a pull-request workflow that validates the committed test plan, immutable source pins, declared dependency lanes, and any product-specific tests added outside the generated file set.
+
+This lane deliberately receives no cross-organization credential. It can prove that the committed snapshot is internally coherent, but it cannot prove that a private source repository still matches the snapshot or compiles at the pinned commit.
+
+Product-specific overlays are preserved. The fleet generator owns only its explicit managed paths, including `README.md`, `test-plan.json`, `source-pins.json`, generated workflows, dependency metadata, and source gates. Files such as executable fixtures, browser suites, contract parsers, and product-specific workflows remain repository-owned. A fleet rerun must update managed files without deleting or replacing those overlays.
+
+## Protected source-integration lane
+
+The generated integration workflow runs only when the organization variable `ENABLE_TEST_FLEET_INTEGRATION` is exactly `true` and the protected secret `TEST_FLEET_READ_TOKEN` is configured.
+
+The token is passed only to the pinned checkout action. Generated workflows must not fall back to `github.token`, because the repository token does not establish the intended cross-organization read authority and can turn a missing credential into a misleading partial run. Persisted checkout credentials remain disabled.
+
+A successful protected lane may certify the exact source pin only after its product-specific executable tests pass. A skipped lane is **not** source certification.
+
+## Durable status artifact
+
+Every generated integration workflow includes a separate `certification-status` job with `if: always()`. It records:
+
+- whether the protected lane was enabled;
+- whether it executed;
+- whether it passed and therefore certified the source pin;
+- the raw dependency-job result;
+- a bounded reason string.
+
+Expected meanings:
+
+| Integration result | `executed` | `certified` | Meaning |
+|---|---:|---:|---|
+| `success` | true | true | Protected source integration passed. |
+| `failure` / `cancelled` | true | false | Integration executed but did not certify the source. |
+| `skipped` | false | false | Variable or protected credential lane was not enabled. |
+
+The JSON status artifact contains no source credential and is safe to retain as test evidence.
+
+## Update protocol
+
+1. Reconcile source changes in the owning repository first.
+2. Record an immutable source commit in the generated plan.
+3. Preserve all product-specific overlay files.
+4. Run the credential-free contract lane on the harness pull request.
+5. Enable and run the protected source lane before claiming source compilation or integration certification.
+6. Link the status artifact and product evidence from the source pull request and Linear issue.
+7. When conflicts occur, preserve runtime behavior, documentation, client compatibility, and security policy as separate meanings. Never choose an entire conflict side solely because it is newer.
+
+## Security boundary
+
+Credentials belong only in protected organization or repository secrets. Do not place a PAT, GitHub App private key, cloud credential, or source token in generated plans, repository files, workflow inputs, command-line arguments, summaries, artifacts, issues, or Linear documents.

+# Terminal-context certification
+
+This repository independently certifies the terminal/TTY/shell context behavior owned by `zed-pkg/zed-cli`.
+
+Canonical production ownership:
+
+- Linear: `DEN-2591`
+- implementation: `zed-pkg/zed-cli#219`
+- shipped merge: `ad6ff369a763f0fbdc3b677894655c73b23e062c`
+- companion flags2env API: `DEN-2581` / `ORESoftware/flags-2-env#24`
+- policy documentation: `zed-pkg/zed-docs#55`
+- test-org acceptance: `DEN-2925` / `zed-pkg-test/zed-pkg-e2e#123`
+
+## Why this lives in the test organization
+
+The production repository already has unit, Docker, macOS, and Windows coverage. This test-org gate is deliberately independent: it checks out an immutable shipped candidate, builds that candidate on native GitHub runners, and drives the resulting executable as an external consumer would.
+
+A failure here is not fixed by adding a second terminal detector to the test harness. The defect is filed against the owning production repository, fixed there, and then re-certified here.
+
+## Platform matrix
+
+The workflow runs on:
+
+- Ubuntu 24.04;
+- macOS 15;
+- Windows Server 2025.
+
+Every lane checks the exact product Git commit before testing.
+
+## Acceptance contract
+
+The workflow runs the production `terminal_context` and `interactive` Rust unit contracts and then exercises the built CLI through the real `zed init` mutation checkpoint in a disposable test-org-owned working directory.
+
+`zed init` is intentionally used instead of registry installation: terminal-context certification should not depend on registry transport, artifact paths, network access, or package materialization. The first Windows run exposed an unrelated `file:///D:/...` registry-path defect before any prompt assertion ran; that transport defect is tracked separately rather than weakening or conflating this certification.
+
+The black-box assertions are:
+
+1. Piped `yes` is not human consent in ordinary CI/non-TTY execution.
+2. Forced terminal stdin and stderr do not bypass CI when CI is forced true.
+3. `TERM=dumb` remains fail-closed even with terminal state forced true and CI cleared.
+4. The documented `ZED_PKG_FORCE_*` controls can explicitly simulate a safe terminal for deterministic testing.
+5. The shared `F2E_FORCE_*` spellings produce the same accepted behavior without Zed-specific force variables present.
+6. stdout may remain redirected while stderr carries the interactive checkpoint.
+7. A rejected checkpoint leaves `.zpkg.toml` absent.
+8. An accepted checkpoint creates the requested manifest with the expected package identity.
+9. Linux and macOS additionally exercise the production `forkpty()` harness with a real pseudo-terminal; Windows uses the deterministic override path because that upstream helper is Unix-specific.
+
+## Security and permissions
+
+The certification workflow uses only `contents: read`. It does not require GitHub PATs, Linear tokens, Cloudflare credentials, registry credentials, or any other secret. The mutation target is a temporary runner directory and never a checked-out repository.
+
+The workflow must never copy user-supplied credentials into source, logs, artifacts, issue bodies, or environment variables.

+# `zed gitops` external validator
+
+`zed gitops` is the read-only GitOps validation lane tracked by DEN-2725. The
+root `zed` binary now securely dispatches this command to the separately built
+`zed-gitops` executable, while root help and shell completions expose the same
+public command contract.
+
+Install or build both binaries into the same bin directory:
+
+```console
+cargo install --path . --bins
+zed gitops validate --root . --offline --strict
+zed gitops validate --root . --offline --strict --format json
+zed gitops validate --root . --offline --strict --format sarif
+```
+
+The standalone spelling remains supported for automation that deliberately
+pins the validator executable:
+
+```console
+zed-gitops validate --root . --offline --strict
+```
+
+The dispatcher resolves `zed-gitops` beside the running `zed` executable first,
+then searches only absolute `PATH` entries. It never invokes a shell, never
+searches the current working directory implicitly, never permits an extension
+to shadow a built-in command or alias, and preserves the child process exit
+code. Root options placed before or after `gitops` are passed as their canonical
+`ZED_PKG_*` environment variables rather than being exposed on the child
+command line. A literal `--` ends global-option extraction and passes every
+remaining argument to the external command unchanged.
+
+## Evidence checked
+
+- catalog JSON is regular UTF-8 data beneath the selected repository root;
+- unknown fields fail under `--strict`;
+- `.gitmodules` provides exactly the declared inventory path and repository;
+- the Git index contains that path as a mode-160000 gitlink;
+- catalog inventory revision equals the indexed gitlink SHA;
+- Argo source repository canonicalizes to the same upstream repository;
+- Argo `targetRevision` is an exact lowercase 40-hex commit equal to the
+  gitlink;
+- the source is the direct app repository, not a path inside
+  `ORESoftware/k8s-cluster`;
+- application names and inventory paths are unique;
+- `*-infra` repositories cannot be app records;
+- AppProject and destination namespace cannot be `default`;
+- `pilot-inert` records cannot enable automated sync, prune, or self-heal;
+- the retained static Application is a regular parent-owned file.
+
+The command does not read Kubernetes credentials, clone private repositories,
+resolve remote branch tips, or apply manifests. Online validation is not
+implemented yet, so invocations must pass `--offline`; omitting it fails
+explicitly instead of misreporting a local-only run as online evidence. Policy
+failures exit with code 2; tool/configuration failures exit with code 1.
+
+## Ownership boundary
+
+The root CLI owns extension discovery, built-in collision prevention, help,
+completion, TTY inheritance, and exit-code propagation. `zed-gitops` owns the
+current validation implementation. Follow-up work should expose the existing
+`git_submodules` repository-identity and index primitives as a stable
+`zed-pkg` library surface so the validator does not maintain parallel generic
+Git parsing.
+
+The deployment-specific schema and policy remain versioned in `k8s-cluster`;
+Zed remains the validator UX rather than the deployment controller.

+# static-registry-protocol — fixture + conformance harness (sketch v0)
+
+Groundwork for the zpkg registry-protocol work in Linear project **zpkg
+Self-Hosted Registries and Private Deps**: the protocol RFC (DEN-2854), the
+static read-only export (DEN-2857), and the static arm of the e2e certification
+(DEN-2861). GitHub anchor: `zed-pkg/zed-interfaces#45`.
+
+This is **not** the final protocol. It exists to make the load-bearing design
+constraint testable *now*:
+
+> the public read path is plain files — an entire registry read side must be
+> servable by dumb object/static hosting with no running daemon.
+
+What v0 deliberately omits (owned by the DEN-2854 RFC): `registry_id` and trust
+roots, signed checkpoints (the `checkpoint.json` here has a `signature: null`
+slot), lifecycle states beyond `yanked`, and projection/target semantics.
+
+## Layout produced
+
+```
+.well-known/zpkg-registry.json   discovery: schema_version, endpoints,
+                                 auth_modes=[none], publish_supported=false
+index/<org>/<name>               NDJSON; one line per version, ascending semver:
+                                 {version, deps, cksum:"sha256:…", size, yanked}
+pkgs/<org>/<name>/<ver>.tar.zst  content-addressed deterministic tarballs
+checkpoint.json                  {seq, files:[{path,sha256,size}], tree_sha256,
+                                 signature:null}
+```
+
+Org segments must already be lowercase canonical form. The generator also
+requires a new or empty real output directory and rejects fixture/output
+symlinks and special files. It validates and renders the complete tree before
+publishing through a same-parent staging directory, so a bad later package
+cannot expose earlier package blobs or leave a staging tree.
+
+## Tools
+
+- `build_static_registry.py --fixtures fixtures --out tree` — deterministic,
+  failure-atomic build: ustar, sorted entries, `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` (default 0),
+  uid/gid 0, `zstd -19`, same-parent staging, final directory rename. Two
+  builds of the same fixtures are byte-identical.
+- `check_static_registry.py --base <dir|https://host>` — conformance: discovery,
+  checkpoint schema and sorted unique safe paths, checkpoint↔object integrity,
+  exact local file set, NDJSON/semver/checksum verification, yank semantics,
+  and absent-package hard miss. Local trees reject path traversal, duplicate
+  paths, missing or uncheckpointed objects, symlinks, and special files before
+  unsafe content is fetched.
+- `check_static_registry.py --base <dir> self-test` — **red tests**: every
+  declared mutation must turn the checker red. The current nine cases cover
+  tarball tampering, index tampering, checkpoint-entry removal, yank
+  resurrection, schema drift, an uncheckpointed object, a removed checkpointed
+  object, an unsafe `../` checkpoint path, and a duplicate checkpoint path.
+- `sync_to_r2.sh <tree> <bucket>` — verifies the complete local tree, uploads
+  immutable `pkgs/**` with one-year immutable caching, uploads mutable v0
+  discovery/index objects with `no-cache`, and publishes `checkpoint.json`
+  last. Replacing an existing v0 checkpoint fails closed unless an operator
+  explicitly sets `ZPKG_ALLOW_V0_REPLACE=true` for a disposable
+  non-production experiment.
+
+Version 0 cannot make a rolling update collection-atomic because index paths are
+mutable. Checkpoint-last ordering reduces exposure for an initial publication,
+but v1 must move indexes under immutable snapshot prefixes selected by a signed
+stable checkpoint.
+
+## Permanent credential-free CI
+
+`.github/workflows/static-registry-protocol.yml` runs the local contract on
+Ubuntu 24.04 and macOS 15 with read-only repository permissions and immutable
+Action pins. Each job:
+
+1. verifies pinned Python, runner-provided `zstd`, Bash syntax, and Python
+   syntax;
+2. runs twelve generator tests covering fresh/empty output, stale-output and
+   parent-traversal refusal, fixture/output/metadata symlink refusal,
+   failure-atomic multi-package validation, metadata object/field shape,
+   semantic-version shape, uppercase-org refusal, and empty-fixture refusal;
+3. runs six fake-AWS synchronization tests against the real generated fixture,
+   covering exact upload order/cache policy, checkpoint-last publication,
+   replacement refusal/override, and pre-AWS rejection of missing, tampered, or
+   uncheckpointed state;
+4. builds the registry twice in unrelated temporary directories with
+   `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=0`;
+5. compares the complete sorted path/size/SHA-256 inventory byte-for-byte;
+6. runs the green conformance check;
+7. dynamically discovers and requires every adversarial mutation to fail;
+8. proves the source checkout remained unchanged; and
+9. uploads bounded commit-addressed local evidence for seven days.
+
+The permanent workflow reads no GitHub, Cloudflare, R2, registry, signing, or
+shared-auth secret. Live object-store synchronization remains a separate manual
+and environment-gated operation; a pull request can certify the protocol
+fixture and uploader contract without network access or infrastructure
+authority.
+
+## Live fixture (2026-08-08)
+
+- Bucket: `zed-pkg-static-registry-e2e` (dedicated; do **not** reuse
+  `zed-pkg-artifacts-e2e`, which belongs to the API-path R2 certification, and
+  never the prod `zed-pkg-artifacts`).
+- Public base: `https://pub-9b365e012501426c9de90d2746deac9d.r2.dev`
+  (r2.dev is rate-limited and not a production surface; fine for e2e).
+- `evidence/` holds the recorded local + live runs.
+
+The recorded live fixture predates the stricter v0 replacement rule. Future
+manual live experiments should use a fresh dedicated bucket or explicitly mark
+the bucket disposable; the permanent CI path never mutates the live fixture.
+
+## Operational findings worth carrying into the RFC (DEN-2854)
+
+1. **r2.dev filters script User-Agents**: `Python-urllib/3.9` gets `403`;
+   curl's UA and a custom `zpkg-static-registry-check/0` UA pass. Registry
+   clients must always send an identifying UA; conformance tooling can't rely
+   on language-default agents.
+2. **Managed-domain enablement propagates asynchronously**: the first ~minutes
+   after enabling the r2.dev domain returned intermittent `403`s. Tooling that
+   provisions a static registry must retry/verify before declaring it live.
+3. Per-object `Cache-Control` survives verbatim through R2. Immutable package
+   bytes can use long caching, while mutable v0 pointers must revalidate until
+   v1 snapshot paths make index objects immutable.
+4. Deterministic `.tar.zst` needs all of: ustar format, sorted entries, zeroed
+   mtime/uid/gid/uname, fixed mode, and a pinned zstd level; with those, the
+   whole tree (including `tree_sha256`) is byte-reproducible.

+# Current-main root `zed gitops` certification
+
+This canary independently certifies the clean current-main successor to DEN-2725:
+
+```text
+product PR: zed-pkg/zed-cli#242
+candidate: 173bab46355ef715783d2734288ccc023c7f486b
+exact parent: f226c2e57c8c830b21aedd4fb2eb505c584dc7fd
+```
+
+Unlike the superseded replay harness, this workflow does not merge another branch, apply a correction script, or rewrite product source. It checks out the immutable product commit with its parent and fails before compilation unless:
+
+1. the candidate SHA is exact;
+2. its direct parent is exact; and
+3. its complete delta is exactly these eight reviewed paths:
+
+```text
+.zpkg.toml
+docs/gitops-validator.md
+scripts/validate-zed-package-graph.sh
+src/completion.rs
+src/external_subcommands.rs
+src/lib.rs
+src/main.rs
+tests/external_gitops_dispatch.rs
+```
+
+## Platforms and gates
+
+The test-org workflow runs on Ubuntu 24.04, macOS 15, and Windows Server 2025. Every platform runs:
+
+- Rust formatting;
+- focused external-dispatch unit and integration tests;
+- strict Clippy with warnings denied;
+- the Zed package-graph validator;
+- locked release builds of `zed` and `zed-gitops`;
+- a standard-library-only hostile external-command probe; and
+- the existing black-box dispatch and trailing-root-option suites.
+
+The black-box checks cover sibling-command selection, no working-directory or relative-PATH search, sibling precedence over absolute PATH, argument and exit-code propagation, structured validator parity, missing-extension behavior, literal `--`, recognized root-option lifting, malformed boolean rejection, help/completion visibility, and installed package outputs.
+
+## Credential and mutation boundary
+
+The canary strips inherited token, secret, password, private-key, access-key, API-key, authorization, cookie, and Zed credential variables from subprocesses. It uses only disposable local directories and a local Git index fixture.
+
+It performs no package publication, registry write, GitHub mutation, Kubernetes/Argo operation, Cloudflare request, external agent task, or persistent namespace write. Product source must remain byte-for-byte unchanged throughout the run.
+
+Evidence is commit-addressed and records only the immutable candidate/parent, runner OS/architecture, binary SHA-256 values, and passed check names. A green result certifies this exact product commit only; any successor requires a new immutable pin.

+# GitHub dependency-inventory conformance (DEN-2957)
+
+This directory certifies the repository and GitHub-organization ingestion behavior planned for `zed graph github` before the production Rust CLI adopts it.
+
+## Resource boundary
+
+The emitted resource is `zpkg/github-dependency-inventory/v1`. It is a source inventory pinned to exact repository commits. It is **not** a universal resolved package graph and always reports:
+
+```json
+{
+  "completeness": {
+    "inventory": "complete",
+    "resolution": "not-claimed"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+A `.zpkg.lock` contributes exact package pins, while `.zpkg.toml`, `.gitmodules`, `flake.nix`, `flake.lock`, and governed Nix `sources.json` files contribute typed source edges. Only DEN-2865's shared resolver builder may claim an exact `zpkg/dependency-graph/v1` resolution.
+
+## Reference command
+
+The test-org reference command mirrors the intended production surface:
+
+```console
+python harness/github_dependency_inventory.py \
+  --org zed-pkg \
+  --repo zed-pkg/zed-cli \
+  --include zed,git-submodule,nix \
+  --format json \
+  --output inventory.json
+```
+
+`--format` also accepts `dot` and `mermaid`. Repeated `--repo`, `--org`, and `--include` values are normalized, deduplicated, and sorted. Credentials are read only from `ZED_PKG_GITHUB_TOKEN` or `GITHUB_TOKEN`; there is intentionally no token flag. A token is sent automatically only to `api.github.com` or a loopback fake server. GitHub Enterprise or another custom HTTPS origin additionally requires `ZED_PKG_GITHUB_ALLOW_TOKEN_TO_API_BASE=1`, preventing an API-base override from silently exfiltrating the default GitHub token.
+
+Offline certification uses the compact fixture API:
+
+```console
+python harness/github_dependency_inventory.py \
+  --fixture fixtures/github-dependency-inventory/fixture.json \
+  --org acme \
+  --repo acme/app \
+  --include zed,git-submodule,nix \
+  --format json
+```
+
+## Deterministic envelope
+
+The canonical JSON envelope records:
+
+- normalized repository and organization inputs;
+- every discovered repository, including archived repositories and explicit acquisition failures;
+- exact default-branch commit SHA before tree or blob acquisition;
+- source manifests with exact blob SHA and byte count;
+- repository/package nodes and typed edges;
+- provenance containing repository commit, manifest kind, path, blob SHA, and line or JSON pointer where available;
+- SCCs, canonical cycle sets, and dependency-first waves over the SCC condensation graph;
+- contradiction diagnostics such as conflicting lock pins, missing gitlinks, and unmapped gitlinks;
+- hard configured limits and bounded request/byte usage.
+
+The JSON writer sorts keys and all semantically unordered collections. DOT and Mermaid use hash-derived identifiers and format-specific label escaping. Golden outputs are regenerated independently on Linux, macOS, and Windows and compared byte-for-byte.
+
+## Hardening invariants
+
+1. Organization pagination follows only same-origin `rel="next"` links and rejects pagination cycles.
+2. HTTP redirects are not followed, preventing authorization forwarding to another origin.
+3. Plain HTTP API origins are accepted only on loopback for the fake-server suite.
+4. Retry count and `Retry-After` sleep are bounded. Response bodies from failed HTTP requests are never retained or surfaced.
+5. Repository, node, edge, request, per-response byte, total-response byte, manifest byte, individual field byte, repository-tree entry, JSON-depth, and wall-clock limits fail closed. Successful HTTP bodies are bounded while they are read, not after unbounded buffering. A limit error never becomes a partial inventory.
+6. GitHub recursive-tree truncation is an explicit repository failure; it is never interpreted as a complete scan.
+7. Blob content is fetched by exact tree SHA, size-checked, bounded, and decoded from GitHub's declared base64 representation.
+8. Output replacement uses a same-directory temporary file, file `fsync`, atomic replacement, and directory `fsync` where supported. Failed runs preserve the prior output and remove temporary files.
+9. Tokens are absent from argv, output, filenames, request paths, retained errors, graph labels, and golden evidence.
+10. Inventory failures may produce a versioned partial artifact and exit status `1`; invalid input exits `2`; hard limits exit `3`. A complete artifact exits `0`.
+
+## Fixture coverage
+
+The checked-in fixture and local fake server cover:
+
+- multi-page organization discovery and duplicate input normalization;
+- a private repository and bearer-authenticated requests;
+- archived and manifest-free repositories;
+- Zed declaration diamonds and an explicit cycle;
+- lock pins, Git submodule gitlinks, flake declarations/locks, and Nix source pins;
+- hostile requirement text that attempts DOT/Mermaid label injection;
+- HTTP 403/429/5xx rate-limit retry behavior, redirects, truncated trees, bounded response reads, byte/field/depth limits, wrapped base64 blobs, custom-origin token policy, and token-bearing error bodies;
+- failure-atomic output, a 10,000-node non-recursive SCC stress graph, and byte-identical JSON/DOT/Mermaid goldens.
+
+## Production handoff
+
+Once this test-org PR is green, the production `zed-pkg/zed-cli` integration should add the modular `zed graph github` command and port this behavior without editing the active DEN-2864 contract branch (`zed-pkg/zed-interfaces#52`) or introducing a second package resolver. The test fixture and goldens remain the cross-language conformance authority until the shared Rust builder supersedes them explicitly.

Subject: [PATCH 0865/1172] test(DEN-2725): certify exact-parent root GitOps
 dispatch (#130)

Pin the clean current-main `zed gitops` candidate and its exact direct parent, reject any delta outside the eight reviewed product paths, and certify the immutable command boundary on Ubuntu, macOS, and Windows without replay or source correction.

+# Current-main root `zed gitops` certification
+
+This canary independently certifies the clean current-main successor to DEN-2725:
+
+```text
+product PR: zed-pkg/zed-cli#242
+candidate: 173bab46355ef715783d2734288ccc023c7f486b
+exact parent: f226c2e57c8c830b21aedd4fb2eb505c584dc7fd
+```
+
+Unlike the superseded replay harness, this workflow does not merge another branch, apply a correction script, or rewrite product source. It checks out the immutable product commit with its parent and fails before compilation unless:
+
+1. the candidate SHA is exact;
+2. its direct parent is exact; and
+3. its complete delta is exactly these eight reviewed paths:
+
+```text
+.zpkg.toml
+docs/gitops-validator.md
+scripts/validate-zed-package-graph.sh
+src/completion.rs
+src/external_subcommands.rs
+src/lib.rs
+src/main.rs
+tests/external_gitops_dispatch.rs
+```
+
+## Platforms and gates
+
+The test-org workflow runs on Ubuntu 24.04, macOS 15, and Windows Server 2025. Every platform runs:
+
+- Rust formatting;
+- focused external-dispatch unit and integration tests;
+- strict Clippy with warnings denied;
+- the Zed package-graph validator;
+- locked release builds of `zed` and `zed-gitops`;
+- a standard-library-only hostile external-command probe; and
+- the existing black-box dispatch and trailing-root-option suites.
+
+The black-box checks cover sibling-command selection, no working-directory or relative-PATH search, sibling precedence over absolute PATH, argument and exit-code propagation, structured validator parity, missing-extension behavior, literal `--`, recognized root-option lifting, malformed boolean rejection, help/completion visibility, and installed package outputs.
+
+## Credential and mutation boundary
+
+The canary strips inherited token, secret, password, private-key, access-key, API-key, authorization, cookie, and Zed credential variables from subprocesses. It uses only disposable local directories and a local Git index fixture.
+
+It performs no package publication, registry write, GitHub mutation, Kubernetes/Argo operation, Cloudflare request, external agent task, or persistent namespace write. Product source must remain byte-for-byte unchanged throughout the run.
+
+Evidence is commit-addressed and records only the immutable candidate/parent, runner OS/architecture, binary SHA-256 values, and passed check names. A green result certifies this exact product commit only; any successor requires a new immutable pin.

+# GitHub dependency-inventory conformance (DEN-2957)
+
+This directory certifies the repository and GitHub-organization ingestion behavior planned for `zed graph github` before the production Rust CLI adopts it.
+
+## Resource boundary
+
+The emitted resource is `zpkg/github-dependency-inventory/v1`. It is a source inventory pinned to exact repository commits. It is **not** a universal resolved package graph and always reports:
+
+```json
+{
+  "completeness": {
+    "inventory": "complete",
+    "resolution": "not-claimed"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+A `.zpkg.lock` contributes exact package pins, while `.zpkg.toml`, `.gitmodules`, `flake.nix`, `flake.lock`, and governed Nix `sources.json` files contribute typed source edges. Only DEN-2865's shared resolver builder may claim an exact `zpkg/dependency-graph/v1` resolution.
+
+## Reference command
+
+The dependency-free test-org reference implementation is split by trust boundary under `harness/github_inventory_*.py`; the CLI facade mirrors the intended production surface:
+
+```console
+python harness/github_dependency_inventory.py \
+  --org zed-pkg \
+  --repo zed-pkg/zed-cli \
+  --include zed,git-submodule,nix \
+  --format json \
+  --output inventory.json
+```
+
+`--format` also accepts `dot` and `mermaid`. Repeated `--repo`, `--org`, and `--include` values are normalized, deduplicated, and sorted. Credentials are read only from `ZED_PKG_GITHUB_TOKEN` or `GITHUB_TOKEN`; there is intentionally no token flag. A token is sent automatically only to `api.github.com` or a loopback fake server. GitHub Enterprise or another custom HTTPS origin additionally requires `ZED_PKG_GITHUB_ALLOW_TOKEN_TO_API_BASE=1`, preventing an API-base override from silently exfiltrating the default GitHub token.
+
+Offline certification uses the compact fixture API:
+
+```console
+python harness/github_dependency_inventory.py \
+  --fixture fixtures/github-dependency-inventory/fixture.json \
+  --org acme \
+  --repo acme/app \
+  --include zed,git-submodule,nix \
+  --format json
+```
+
+## Deterministic envelope
+
+The canonical JSON envelope records:
+
+- normalized repository and organization inputs;
+- every discovered repository, including archived repositories and explicit acquisition failures;
+- exact default-branch commit SHA before tree or blob acquisition;
+- source manifests with exact blob SHA and byte count;
+- repository/package nodes and typed edges;
+- provenance containing repository commit, manifest kind, path, blob SHA, and line or JSON pointer where available;
+- SCCs, canonical cycle sets, and dependency-first waves over the SCC condensation graph;
+- contradiction diagnostics such as conflicting lock pins, missing gitlinks, and unmapped gitlinks;
+- hard configured limits and bounded request/byte usage.
+
+The JSON writer sorts keys and all semantically unordered collections. DOT and Mermaid use hash-derived identifiers and format-specific label escaping. Golden outputs are regenerated independently on Linux, macOS, and Windows and compared byte-for-byte.
+
+## Hardening invariants
+
+1. Organization pagination follows only same-origin `rel="next"` links and rejects pagination cycles.
+2. HTTP redirects are not followed, preventing authorization forwarding to another origin.
+3. Plain HTTP API origins are accepted only on loopback for the fake-server suite.
+4. Retry count and `Retry-After` sleep are bounded. Response bodies from failed HTTP requests are never retained or surfaced.
+5. Repository, node, edge, request, per-response byte, total-response byte, manifest byte, individual field byte, repository-tree entry, JSON-depth, and wall-clock limits fail closed. Successful HTTP bodies are bounded while they are read, not after unbounded buffering. A limit error never becomes a partial inventory.
+6. GitHub recursive-tree truncation is an explicit repository failure; it is never interpreted as a complete scan.
+7. Blob content is fetched by exact tree SHA, size-checked, bounded, and decoded from GitHub's declared base64 representation.
+8. Output replacement uses a same-directory temporary file, file `fsync`, atomic replacement, and directory `fsync` where supported. Failed runs preserve the prior output and remove temporary files.
+9. Tokens are absent from argv, output, filenames, request paths, retained errors, graph labels, and golden evidence.
+10. Inventory failures may produce a versioned partial artifact and exit status `1`; invalid input exits `2`; hard limits exit `3`. A complete artifact exits `0`.
+
+## Fixture coverage
+
+The checked-in fixture, split semantic/transport suites, and local fake server cover:
+
+- multi-page organization discovery and duplicate input normalization;
+- a private repository and bearer-authenticated requests;
+- archived and manifest-free repositories;
+- Zed declaration diamonds and an explicit cycle;
+- lock pins, Git submodule gitlinks, flake declarations/locks, and Nix source pins;
+- hostile requirement text that attempts DOT/Mermaid label injection;
+- HTTP 403/429/5xx rate-limit retry behavior, redirects, truncated trees, bounded response reads, byte/field/depth limits, wrapped base64 blobs, custom-origin token policy, and token-bearing error bodies;
+- failure-atomic output, a 10,000-node non-recursive SCC stress graph, and byte-identical JSON/DOT/Mermaid goldens.
+
+## Production handoff
+
+Once this test-org PR is green, the production `zed-pkg/zed-cli` integration should add the modular `zed graph github` command and port this behavior without editing the active DEN-2864 contract branch (`zed-pkg/zed-interfaces#52`) or introducing a second package resolver. The test fixture and goldens remain the cross-language conformance authority until the shared Rust builder supersedes them explicitly.

+# Current-main `zed inspect` certification
+
+This canary independently certifies the canonical read-only IDE inspection contract:
+
+```text
+product PR: zed-pkg/zed-cli#244
+candidate: b7036935ce3711563f1527472fc64e92bc1341aa
+exact parent: 1ab18fcb2ff884e82af4cac4513d7b983a23c84a
+```
+
+The workflow uses one immutable product commit and one direct parent. It does not poll a mutable branch, merge another candidate, apply a source correction, or couple CLI promotion to any IDE adapter release.
+
+Before compilation, every platform rejects the candidate unless its complete delta is exactly:
+
+```text
+schemas/inspect-v1.schema.json
+src/cli_model.rs
+src/inspect.rs
+src/lib.rs
+tests/inspect_cli.rs
+```
+
+The candidate preserves the previously merged `tool_profile` and `external_subcommands` modules and adds only the inspect protocol export.
+
+## Three-platform quality and black-box contract
+
+Ubuntu 24.04, macOS 15, and Windows Server 2025 each run:
+
+- Rust formatting;
+- focused inspect and CLI-model unit tests;
+- compiled inspect CLI integration tests;
+- strict focused Clippy with warnings denied;
+- a locked release build of the exact `zed` candidate; and
+- a standard-library-only adversarial black-box suite.
+
+The black-box suite provides an unreachable registry, malformed saved credentials, fake environment and CLI token values, and a pending transaction sentinel. It requires:
+
+- exactly one JSON document and no successful stderr;
+- `offline=true`, `mutates_project=false`, and `loads_credentials=false`;
+- stable recovery diagnostics and explicit suggested-action risk metadata;
+- no token or malformed-manifest secret disclosure;
+- byte-identical project and credential-home snapshots;
+- no transaction recovery, materialization, or lockfile rewrite;
+- help that succeeds without loading malformed credentials;
+- global option values named `inspect` not triggering the command; and
+- relative or missing roots failing without creating project or home state.
+
+The malformed-manifest case assembles its fake credential-shaped value at runtime and requires a structured `MANIFEST_INVALID` diagnostic without echoing source text.
+
+## Credential and mutation boundary
+
+Every subprocess receives a scrubbed environment with token, secret, password, private-key, access-key, API-key, authorization, cookie, credential, and inherited Zed variables removed. Only disposable local project/home directories and an unreachable loopback registry are used.
+
+The workflow performs no package publication, registry write, package installation, package-code execution, transaction recovery, GitHub or Linear mutation, provider invocation, Slack task execution, Kubernetes/Argo operation, Cloudflare request, SOPS decryption, or persistent namespace write.
+
+Product and harness source trees must remain unchanged. Evidence contains only the immutable candidate/parent, runner OS/architecture, release-binary SHA-256, passed check names, and result.
+
+A green result certifies this exact product commit only. Any successor requires a new immutable pin. Downstream VS Code interoperability is intentionally separate and must be repinned after the CLI contract itself merges.

Subject: [PATCH 0902/1172] test(DEN-2175): certify read-only inspect v1 on
 three platforms

Pin the current five-file product candidate, run focused Rust quality, and independently prove one-document offline, non-mutating, credential-free inspect behavior on Ubuntu, macOS, and Windows.

-Once this test-org PR is green, the production `zed-pkg/zed-cli` integration should add the modular `zed graph github` command and port this behavior without editing the active DEN-2864 contract branch (`zed-pkg/zed-interfaces#52`) or introducing a second package resolver. The test fixture and goldens remain the cross-language conformance authority until the shared Rust builder supersedes them explicitly.
+After the test-org conformance PRs are green, the production `zed-pkg/zed-cli` integration should add the modular `zed graph github` command and port this behavior without editing the merged DEN-2864 contract paths or introducing a second package resolver. The test fixture and goldens remain the cross-language conformance authority until the shared Rust builder supersedes them explicitly. Workspace/member manifest discovery is tracked independently in DEN-2997.

+# Git-submodule takeover operation-lock certification
+
+This test-org lane certifies `zed-pkg/zed-cli#243` at exact candidate commit:
+
+```text
+fd09b1ce5c8d2a1b8159a6271d52c4e23078cca8
+```
+
+The product change routes `zed overtake --git-submodules` through the same
+checkout-local `.zed/operation.lock` boundary used by install, add, remove, and
+uninstall. It also exposes an RAII guard for multi-call library operations while
+preserving same-thread reentrancy.
+
+## Why a separate black-box test
+
+The product unit test proves that an explicit guard can call a nested facade
+without deadlocking. It does not by itself prove that two independent operating
+system processes contend on the same checkout identity, that a symlink alias
+converges on that identity, or that kernel ownership is released when the owner
+is terminated.
+
+`scripts/git_submodule_overtake_lock.py` tests those boundaries using the real
+release executable and disposable local Git repositories. A temporary `git`
+shim pauses takeover after the CLI has acquired project ownership but before
+Git submodule synchronization can proceed. The shim never replaces Git
+semantics; after release it `exec`s the exact host Git binary with the original
+arguments.
+
+## Six certified checks
+
+### Normal completion
+
+1. Takeover publishes and owns `.zed/operation.lock` before beginning Git
+   transport work.
+2. A frozen install started through a symlink alias remains blocked while
+   takeover owns the checkout.
+3. Releasing takeover allows it to publish the adopted manifest/lock first, and
+   the waiting frozen install then succeeds against that complete state.
+
+The waiter is intentionally launched before `.zpkg.lock` exists. Without the
+shared operation boundary it would race ahead and fail; success after a measured
+blocking interval demonstrates serialization rather than coincidental ordering.
+
+### Owner termination
+
+4. An independent ordinary install remains blocked behind a second paused
+   takeover.
+5. Terminating the complete takeover process group releases the descriptor lock,
+   allowing the waiting install to proceed without polling or manual lockfile
+   deletion.
+6. Because termination occurs before Git synchronization or Zed mutation, the
+   authored manifest remains byte-identical, no dependency is adopted, and no
+   `.zpkg-staging` recovery state is published.
+
+## Matrix and promotion boundary
+
+The workflow runs on Ubuntu 24.04 and macOS 15. It:
+
+- pins the CLI, `zed-interfaces`, and `zed-lock` to full commit IDs;
+- uses read-only repository permissions and commit-pinned Actions;
+- disables persisted checkout credentials;
+- compiles the Python harness outside the source tree;
+- runs source diff checks and Rust formatting;
+- runs focused `project_lock` and `git_submodules` library tests;
+- runs strict Clippy on Linux;
+- builds the exact release executable;
+- executes both process-contention scenarios; and
+- requires clean product and harness checkouts afterward.
+
+Evidence contains the binary SHA-256, process IDs, observed blocking intervals,
+CLI version, and the six named checks. No account, public registry, Cloudflare
+resource, credential, Docker daemon, or persistent namespace participates.
+
+Merge this test-org PR only after both platform jobs pass on the exact head.
+Then product PR `zed-pkg/zed-cli#243` can be promoted if its own complete matrix
+and review state remain green.
+
+Linear: DEN-2038.

+The reentrancy depth map is thread-local. An owned operation guard must therefore
+be acquired, used, and dropped on one thread. Moving a guard to another thread

 ## Why separate black-box tests
 
 Product unit tests prove that an explicit guard can call a nested facade without
-deadlocking and that nested takeover discovery maps to the superproject's lock
-path. They do not by themselves prove that independent operating system
-processes contend on the same checkout identity, that symlink or nested-path
-aliases cannot escape ownership, or that kernel ownership is released when the

-`Sync` with a zero-sized thread-affinity marker. A `compile_fail` rustdoc contract
-proves the public type cannot satisfy `Send`; the test-org workflow runs that
-rustdoc in addition to the focused unit and process tests.
+1. `OperationGuard` is naturally neither `Send` nor `Sync`;
+2. every same-thread nested acquisition shares the same descriptor ownership;
+3. dropping outer and inner handles in any order cannot release the operating-
+   system lock before the final live handle is dropped.
+
+Two `compile_fail` rustdoc contracts prove the public type cannot satisfy either
+`Send` or `Sync`. A focused unit regression acquires outer and inner guards,
+drops the outer first, confirms a same-process OS-lock probe is still contended,
+then drops the inner and confirms acquisition succeeds.
+
+This replaces the earlier depth-only marker design, which could unlock too early
+when independently returned nested RAII handles were dropped out of lexical
+order.
 
 ## Why separate black-box tests
 
-Product unit tests prove that an explicit guard can call a nested facade without
-deadlocking, that the public guard remains thread-affine, and that nested
-takeover discovery maps to the superproject's lock path. They do not by
-themselves prove that independent operating system processes contend on the
-same checkout identity, that symlink or nested-path aliases cannot escape
-ownership, or that kernel ownership is released when the owner is terminated.

+# DEN-3018 `.zedignore` and manifest union certification
+
+This independent canary certifies the exact `zed-pkg/zed-cli` candidate that
+makes the existing two-source publish-ignore contract visible to users.
+
+## Immutable product identity
+
+```text
+comparison base: 1ab18fcb2ff884e82af4cac4513d7b983a23c84a
+candidate:       4b27a48976686e2fd309926fafd0a2411de9fb87
+product PR:      zed-pkg/zed-cli#247
+```
+
+The workflow requires the comparison base to be an ancestor of the candidate
+and the complete base-to-candidate delta to contain exactly:
+
+```text
+docs/publish-ignore.md
+src/ops_entry.rs
+```
+
+It never follows a mutable product branch.
+
+## Certified contract
+
+Ubuntu 24.04, macOS 15, and Windows Server 2025 each run formatting, the focused
+Rust unit tests, strict Clippy, and a locked release build. The resulting binary
+then packs disposable local fixtures and inspects the real `tar.gz` members.
+
+The adversarial fixture proves that:
+
+- `[publish].exclude` is evaluated before `.zedignore`;
+- both active sources produce exactly one union warning;
+- opposite-polarity rules for the normalized `target` family produce one
+  conflict warning and the later `.zedignore` negation wins;
+- same-polarity duplicates with case and `**/` spelling differences do not
+  produce a contradiction warning;
+- manifest-only and `.zedignore`-only projects do not produce a dual-source
+  warning;
+- manifest exclusions, `.zedignore` exclusions, and the `.zedignore` control
+  file stay out of the artifact;
+- a deliberately retained hidden file is not removed by a blanket-dotfile
+  policy; and
+- `.zpkg.toml` plus `LICENSE` remain present even when explicit exclusions match
+  them.
+
+The process receives a disposable Zed home and an unreachable loopback registry.
+It performs no publication, registry write, package install, provider execution,
+Cloudflare request, credential read, or persistent namespace mutation. Uploaded
+evidence contains only immutable commit identities, runner identity, binary and
+fixture-archive digests, boolean assertion results, and the final result.
+
+## Promotion order
+
+Keep both pull requests draft until exact-head product and independent test-org
+checks are terminal-green and review threads are clear. Merge the independent
+certification first; promote `zed-pkg/zed-cli#247` only while its final candidate
+still matches the certified SHA and its comparison-base delta remains exact.

+Linear: DEN-3018

+# DEN-3018 `.zedignore` and manifest union certification
+
+This independent canary certifies the exact `zed-pkg/zed-cli` candidate that
+makes the existing two-source publish-ignore contract visible to users.
+
+## Immutable product identity
+
+```text
+comparison base: 1ab18fcb2ff884e82af4cac4513d7b983a23c84a
+candidate:       ca42115744b0d6d1ee18045b0e480e17a699af6f
+product PR:      zed-pkg/zed-cli#247
+```
+
+This candidate supersedes `bc9d5336c1ccda55d9f98b3d9cabd5a25316c78a`
+with a documentation-only correction from “six” to “five” rule families in an
+example. That prior candidate had superseded
+`4b27a48976686e2fd309926fafd0a2411de9fb87` with only the exact `cargo fmt`
+output reported by the product repository's otherwise-green
+check/test/Clippy job.
+
+The workflow requires the comparison base to be an ancestor of the candidate
+and the complete base-to-candidate delta to contain exactly:
+
+```text
+docs/publish-ignore.md
+src/ops_entry.rs
+```
+
+It never follows a mutable product branch.
+
+## Certified contract
+
+Ubuntu 24.04, macOS 15, and Windows Server 2025 each run formatting, the focused
+Rust unit tests, strict Clippy, and a locked release build. The resulting binary
+then packs disposable local fixtures and inspects the real `tar.gz` members.
+
+The adversarial fixture proves that:
+
+- `[publish].exclude` is evaluated before `.zedignore`;
+- both active sources produce exactly one union warning;
+- opposite-polarity rules for the normalized `target` family produce one
+  conflict warning and the later `.zedignore` negation wins;
+- same-polarity duplicates with case and `**/` spelling differences do not
+  produce a contradiction warning;
+- manifest-only and `.zedignore`-only projects do not produce a dual-source
+  warning;
+- manifest exclusions, `.zedignore` exclusions, and the `.zedignore` control
+  file stay out of the artifact;
+- a deliberately retained hidden file is not removed by a blanket-dotfile
+  policy; and
+- `.zpkg.toml` plus `LICENSE` remain present even when explicit exclusions match
+  them.
+
+The process receives a disposable Zed home and an unreachable loopback registry.
+It performs no publication, registry write, package install, provider execution,
+Cloudflare request, credential read, or persistent namespace mutation. Uploaded
+evidence contains only immutable commit identities, runner identity, binary and
+fixture-archive digests, boolean assertion results, and the final result.
+
+## Promotion order
+
+Keep both pull requests draft until exact-head product and independent test-org
+checks are terminal-green and review threads are clear. Merge the independent
+certification first; promote `zed-pkg/zed-cli#247` only while its final candidate
+still matches the certified SHA and its comparison-base delta remains exact.
+
+Linear: DEN-3018

 The candidate was first merged with current product `main` through integration

-After `main` advanced again with DEN-3018 publish-ignore diagnostics, the product
-branch was reconciled through a true two-parent merge commit. The DEN-2038 lock
-and recovery files and DEN-3018's `src/ops_entry.rs` plus
-`docs/publish-ignore.md` are disjoint and both complete feature sets are present
-in the final tree. No side was selected or discarded.
-
-The product change routes `zed overtake --git-submodules` and eager
-`.zpkg-staging` recovery through the same checkout-local `.zed/operation.lock`
-boundary used by install, add, remove, and uninstall. It exposes an RAII guard
-for multi-call library operations while preserving same-thread reentrancy. It
-also resolves the owning `.gitmodules` superproject before acquiring the lock,
-so an invocation from a nested source directory cannot create a second
-operation-lock identity below the checkout root.

 ## Reentrant ownership invariants
 
 The reentrancy cache is thread-local. An owned operation guard must therefore be
 acquired, used, and dropped on one thread. The final candidate stores the actual
 kernel `LockGuard` inside an `Rc`-owned object and keeps only a weak reference in

 ## Why separate black-box tests
 
 Product unit tests prove nested facade reuse, thread affinity, shared descriptor
 lifetime, and superproject path selection. They do not by themselves prove that
-independent operating system processes contend on the same checkout identity,
-that symlink or nested-path aliases cannot escape ownership, that recovery uses

-recovers before Git synchronization, or that kernel ownership is released when

-### Normal completion
+## Eighteen certified process checks
 
-1. Takeover publishes and owns `.zed/operation.lock` before beginning Git
-   transport work.
-2. A frozen install started through a symlink alias remains blocked while
-   takeover owns the checkout.
-3. Releasing takeover allows it to publish the adopted manifest/lock first, and
-   the waiting frozen install then succeeds against that complete state.

+3. After release, takeover publishes complete adopted state and the frozen
+   waiter succeeds.
 
 ### Owner termination
 
-4. An independent ordinary install remains blocked behind a second paused
-   takeover.
-5. Terminating the complete takeover process group releases the descriptor lock,
-   allowing the waiting install to proceed without polling or manual lockfile
-   deletion.
-6. Because termination occurs before Git synchronization or Zed mutation, the
-   authored manifest remains byte-identical, no dependency is adopted, and no
-   `.zpkg-staging` recovery state is published.
+4. An independent install remains blocked behind a paused takeover.

-This scenario would fail against the earlier implementation that locked the raw
-current directory and only later discovered the superproject.
+### Cooperative `install --git-submodules`
 
-### Transaction recovery versus another owner
+10. Cooperative install owns the superproject operation lock before
+    `git submodule sync` begins.
+11. A different-home frozen install remains blocked across synchronization,
+    recursive checkout, and the full install/finalizer boundary.
+12. The frozen waiter succeeds only after the cooperative install publishes a
+    complete lockfile and the pinned child checkout.
 
-10. A process using a different Zed home cannot eagerly recover an active
-    `.zpkg-staging` journal while takeover owns the checkout.
-11. The pending destination and backup bytes remain exact throughout the
-    observed blocking interval.
-12. After ownership release, recovery restores the exact backup bytes and
-    removes the staging journal.
-13. The recovered process then completes frozen installation against the
-    adopted manifest and lock state.
+The frozen waiter starts before `.zpkg.lock` exists. Against the previous CLI
+path it would race and fail because sync ran before the installer facade acquired
+ownership.
 
-The recovery fixture is created only after takeover has reached the blocked Git
-synchronization point. Against the old Store-home guard, the second process would
-restore it concurrently; against the project lock, the journal remains untouched
-until checkout ownership is released.

-Modular takeover dispatch executes before `main`'s ordinary `run()` path. These

+# DEN-2995 — generated Rust enum wire-value canary
+
+This independent `zed-pkg-test` lane observes one immutable
+`ORESoftware/k8s-libs-and-shared-defs` source commit and exercises the generated
+Rust crate as an external consumer.
+
+## Contract
+
+SQL enum labels are wire values, not formatting hints. Generated Rust Serde must
+round-trip the exact source label, including separators and leading digits.
+`ssh-ed25519` must never become `sshed25519`; `in_progress` must never become
+`inprogress`.
+
+The workflow:
+
+1. reads the exact source repository and SHA from
+   `fixtures/den-2995-rust-enum-wire-source.json`;
+2. checks out that immutable commit with read-only permissions and no persisted
+   credentials;
+3. runs the authoritative generator drift check;
+4. inspects the generator policy;
+5. injects a black-box integration test into the generated Rust crate and runs
+   it with Cargo;
+6. records whether the pinned source is deliberately pre-fix or expected to be
+   repaired.
+
+## Promotion sequence
+
+The initial pin has `expect_fixed: false`. It is retained only to prove that the
+canary detects the already-merged defect rather than silently passing a broken
+implementation.
+
+Before promotion:
+
+- repin `sha` to the exact repaired source PR head;
+- change `expect_fixed` to `true`;
+- require the exact-head workflow to pass;
+- preserve the immutable source SHA and resulting run as Linear/GitHub evidence.
+
+The source fix belongs in the pg-defs generator. Hand-editing generated Rust is
+not acceptable evidence and will fail `generate.mjs --check`.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+This repository does not publish packages, modify the source branch, apply
+Postgres DDL, use a personal access token, or carry provider, Linear, Cloudflare,
+or R2 credentials.

Subject: [PATCH 0995/1172] fix(DEN-2996): keep flat lock pins out of
 dependency topology (#137)

Preserve exact .zpkg.lock selections as bounded, deduplicated evidence; annotate only proven direct declaration edges; exclude transitive pins from nodes, edges, SCCs, cycles, and waves; render pins as disconnected evidence; and add adversarial conformance coverage.

+No third-party packages are used. The verifier runs the candidate against a
+bounded in-process GitHub fake, checks deterministic JSON/DOT/Mermaid bytes,
+exercises pagination/redirect/truncated-tree failures, and optionally performs
+a redacted Linux-only live smoke against ``zed-pkg-test``.

+# `zed graph github` production certification matrix
+
+This test-org workflow certifies an exact `zed-pkg/zed-cli` branch, tag, or commit without consuming production-org Actions minutes.
+
+## Dispatch
+
+Run **zed-cli graph github production** with an exact candidate ref. Prefer a full 40-character commit SHA for promotion evidence.
+
+- `zed_cli_ref`: exact `zed-pkg/zed-cli` candidate ref.
+- `run_live_smoke`: optional. The live `zed-pkg-test` organization scan runs only on Linux; macOS and Windows record an intentional skip while still running the deterministic fake-server suite.
+
+No GitHub token may be passed in command arguments. The candidate reads `ZED_PKG_GITHUB_TOKEN` from the job environment. The workflow does not persist checkout credentials.
+
+## Required matrix
+
+Every candidate must pass on Linux, macOS, and Windows:
+
+1. locked full-target/full-feature Cargo tests and build;
+2. `zed graph github --help` contract, including repository/org inputs, source filters, JSON/DOT/Mermaid output, output path, and loopback/GitHub Enterprise API-base support;
+3. absence of token/password/secret command-line options;
+4. repeated deterministic fake GitHub scans with duplicate/mixed-case repository, organization, and include inputs;
+5. byte-identical JSON, DOT, and Mermaid outputs;
+6. exact default-branch commit, tree, blob, and gitlink evidence;
+7. same-origin pagination acceptance and cross-origin pagination rejection;
+8. authorization-bearing redirect rejection;
+9. explicit partial inventory for a truncated recursive tree;
+10. non-topological flat lock pins, with a transitive pin unable to fabricate a package edge;
+11. iterative SCC/cycle/wave results over proven topology only;
+12. renderer escaping for hostile requirements;
+13. credential absence from stdout, stderr, graph output, request URLs, and bounded evidence.
+
+The fake server is loopback-only and requires the sentinel token on every request. It emits two same-origin organization pages, archived/private repository metadata, exact commit/tree/blob responses, Zed declarations and lock pins, a validated gitlink, Nix inputs, a two-node cycle, a cross-origin pagination trap, a redirect trap, and a truncated-tree partial case.
+
+## Live test-org smoke
+
+The optional Linux live smoke scans `zed-pkg-test` twice for each format and compares bytes. Exit `0` means complete inventory; exit `1` is accepted only when the artifact explicitly reports partial inventory. Evidence stores hashes, byte counts, immutable candidate identity, and aggregate counts—not raw inventories, response bodies, or credentials.
+
+A changing test-org head can make repeated live bytes differ. In that case, rerun after the test repositories are quiescent or add an exact-head fixture; do not weaken deterministic fake-server checks.
+
+## Promotion rule
+
+A production PR may reference this workflow only after the run is tied to the PR's exact head SHA. Branch-name-only runs are exploratory and cannot authorize merge. The production PR must also retain `resolution=not-claimed`; exact package resolution remains owned by DEN-2865.
+
+The durable AI review queue is `ORESoftware/ai-agent-bridge.rs#104` / DEN-2871. Queueing a review does not count as approval while the provider bridge is unavailable.

+The canonical workflow for DEN-2957 is `zed-cli-graph-github-production-pinned.yml`.
+
+The earlier draft `zed-cli-graph-github-production.yml` is superseded and must not be dispatched or merged. It remains on this integration branch only until the review commit removes it; no promotion evidence may reference it.

Subject: [PATCH 1013/1172] test(DEN-2038): certify complete checkout-local
 mutation ownership (#139)

Add Ubuntu and macOS certification for canonical checkout-local ownership across Git-submodule takeover, nested cooperative installation, owner termination, different-home transaction recovery, and pre-Git recovery ordering. Preserve current test-org mainline work and pin the human-authored product candidate.

+# Git-submodule and project-operation lock certification
+
+This test-org lane certifies the complete remaining DEN-2038 surface in
+`zed-pkg/zed-cli#243` at its current-main-integrated, nested-invocation-hardened,
+thread-affine, shared-ownership, recovery-ordered, and cooperative-install-locked
+exact candidate commit:
+
+```text
+591b40846da73f7540bd36add33645d11cd33ab0
+```
+
+The candidate was first merged with current product `main` through integration
+PR `zed-pkg/zed-cli#245`, preserving the independent external GitOps dispatcher
+and its tests. When `main` later advanced with DEN-3018 publish-ignore
+diagnostics, the branch was reconciled through a true two-parent merge. The
+locking/recovery files and DEN-3018 files are disjoint, and both complete feature
+sets remain present. The final nested-install root correction is committed
+directly in `src/main.rs`; its temporary branch-writing finalizer removed itself,
+leaving exactly the three reviewed implementation files in the product PR. A
+small ownership-contract clarification was then committed by `ORESoftware` so
+GitHub executes the final matrix normally instead of classifying a bot-authored
+head as `action_required`.
+
+The product now routes all of these operations through the same canonical
+checkout-local `.zed/operation.lock` boundary:
+
+- ordinary install and frozen restore;
+- add, remove, uninstall, and initialization through the existing facades;
+- `zed overtake --git-submodules`;
+- eager `.zpkg-staging` recovery;
+- modular-takeover recovery before Git work; and
+- `zed install --git-submodules`, including Git synchronization, recursive
+  submodule checkout, dependency resolution, materialization, adapter wiring,
+  and lock finalization under one descriptor lifetime.
+
+## Reentrant ownership invariants
+
+The reentrancy cache is thread-local. An owned operation guard must therefore be
+acquired, used, and dropped on one thread. The final candidate stores the actual
+kernel `LockGuard` inside an `Rc`-owned object and keeps only a weak reference in
+the thread-local lookup table. This provides three properties:
+
+1. `OperationGuard` is naturally neither `Send` nor `Sync`;
+2. every same-thread nested acquisition shares the same descriptor ownership;
+3. dropping outer and inner handles in any order cannot release the operating-
+   system lock before the final live handle is dropped.
+
+Two `compile_fail` rustdoc contracts prove the public type cannot satisfy either
+`Send` or `Sync`. A focused unit regression drops the outer guard first,
+confirms a queued same-process OS-lock probe remains contended, drops the final
+inner guard, then confirms acquisition succeeds.
+
+## Why separate black-box tests
+
+Product unit tests prove nested facade reuse, thread affinity, shared descriptor
+lifetime, and superproject path selection. They do not by themselves prove that
+independent operating-system processes contend on the same checkout identity,
+that path aliases cannot escape ownership, that recovery coordinates different
+Zed homes, or that Git synchronization and installation share one uninterrupted
+ownership window.
+
+Four test-org scripts exercise those boundaries using the real release
+executable and disposable local Git repositories. A temporary `git` shim pauses
+at `git submodule sync` after the CLI must already own the checkout. After the
+test releases it, the shim `exec`s the exact host Git binary with the original
+arguments.
+
+## Nineteen certified process checks
+
+### Takeover normal completion
+
+1. Takeover owns `.zed/operation.lock` before Git transport begins.
+2. A frozen install through a symlink alias remains blocked while takeover owns
+   the checkout.
+3. After release, takeover publishes complete adopted state and the frozen
+   waiter succeeds.
+
+### Owner termination
+
+4. An independent install remains blocked behind a paused takeover.
+5. Terminating the takeover process group releases the descriptor lock without
+   deleting the lockfile or running stale-lock reclamation.
+6. Pre-mutation termination preserves exact manifest bytes and leaves no
+   adoption or recovery state.
+
+### Nested takeover invocation
+
+7. Takeover launched from `packages/client/src` owns the superproject root lock.
+8. It never creates a nested `packages/client/src/.zed/operation.lock` identity.
+9. A root-level frozen install blocks and succeeds behind nested takeover.
+
+### Nested cooperative `install --git-submodules`
+
+10. Cooperative install launched from `packages/client/src` owns the
+    superproject operation lock before `git submodule sync` begins.
+11. The nested invocation creates no second operation lock, manifest, lockfile,
+    or staging identity below the authority root.
+12. A different-home root frozen install remains blocked across synchronization,
+    recursive checkout, and the full install/finalizer boundary.
+13. The frozen waiter succeeds only after the cooperative install publishes a
+    complete root lockfile and the pinned child checkout.
+
+The frozen waiter starts before `.zpkg.lock` exists. Against the previous CLI
+path it would race and fail because sync ran before the installer facade acquired
+ownership. The nested holder also proves that superproject discovery governs
+both Git synchronization and installation ownership.
+
+### Transaction recovery versus another owner
+
+14. Different-home eager recovery remains blocked behind active checkout
+    ownership.
+15. Pending destination and backup bytes stay exact while blocked.
+16. After release, recovery restores exact bytes and removes staging.
+17. The recovered process completes frozen installation against adopted state.
+
+### Recovery ordering inside modular takeover
+
+18. A pending transaction is recovered before takeover reaches
+    `git submodule sync`.
+19. Exact backup bytes are restored before `.gitmodules` verification,
+    synchronization, or adoption begins.
+
+## Matrix and promotion boundary
+
+The workflow runs on Ubuntu 24.04 and macOS 15. It:
+
+- pins the CLI, `zed-interfaces`, and `zed-lock` to full commit IDs;
+- uses read-only repository permissions and commit-pinned Actions;
+- disables persisted checkout credentials;
+- prevents Python bytecode writes and compiles all four harnesses through a
+  runner-temporary cache;
+- runs source diff checks and Rust formatting;
+- runs focused `project_lock` and `git_submodules` library tests;
+- runs both thread-affinity compile-fail rustdoc contracts;
+- runs strict Clippy on Linux;
+- builds the exact release executable;
+- executes six contention, termination, recovery, and ordering scenarios; and
+- prints and rejects any dirty product or harness checkout without cleanup or
+  reset.
+
+Evidence contains binary identity, process IDs, measured blocking intervals, CLI
+version, and all nineteen named checks. No account, public registry, Cloudflare
+resource, credential, Docker daemon, or persistent namespace participates.
+
+Merge this test-org PR only after both platform jobs pass on the exact head.
+Then product PR `zed-pkg/zed-cli#243` can be promoted if its complete matrix and
+review state remain clean on the same product commit.
+
+Linear: DEN-2038.

-The product branch was semantically reconstructed on current `main` and then merged with main head `0ecd5b00cdd4c5df66824bd9ffdeb079b592a651`. The intervening main-only changes were confined to `docs/publish-ignore.md` and `src/ops_entry.rs`; their exact reviewed blobs are preserved unchanged. The exporter remains a ten-file source, test, contract, and documentation delta with no materializer workflow.
+The product branch was semantically merged with current `main` head `5d1d13119be5784f545a7d812cdfaae3ca120693`. Current submodule CLI and project-lock behavior were adopted verbatim; `src/main.rs` was composed by extracting the already-tested exporter import and dispatch arms into the current main-line recovery and locking flow. The exporter remains a ten-file source, test, contract, and documentation delta with no materializer or synchronization workflow.
 
 The public Rust API enforces the reserved exporter-state source boundary before delegating to the implementation. This protects the CLI, external Rust callers, portable case aliases, and in-project symlink aliases through one shared guard.
 
-The certification workflow pins the full immutable product head above and never follows a mutable branch during a run. The previous candidate failed only the formatting gate in the new real-CLI regression; this head contains the exact rustfmt output and no semantic change.

Subject: [PATCH 1020/1172] feat(DEN-2997): inventory Zed workspace member
 manifests

Expand declared workspace members from the same immutable Git tree, preserve root/member provenance and identity, resolve local path dependencies to actual member packages, and fail closed on unsafe, ambiguous, missing, or over-budget workspace graphs. Add offline positive and adversarial coverage.

Subject: [PATCH 1021/1172] fix(DEN-2997): preserve bounded Zed requirement

Restore the public InventoryAcquisitionMixin symbol expected by the builder while retaining the workspace-aware implementation. This is an interface compatibility fix only; repository scan semantics are unchanged.

+That candidate preserves the merged native dependency/install-hook interface

+temporary finalizer workflow.
 
 ## Certified boundary
 
-For the exact commit above, the workflow proves that:
+For the immutable candidate, the workflow proves that:
 
 1. the complete interface crate compiles with its locked dependency graph;
 2. the native-registry JSON Schema can be generated twice with identical bytes;
-3. checked-in Rust tests and the schema-contract test pass;
-4. rustfmt and Clippy with warnings denied pass;
+3. the checked-in Rust tests and schema-contract test pass;

 5. an external crate can construct and validate a generic npm wrapper with
    Linux/musl and macOS platform packages;
-6. a portable Cargo publication remains valid;
-7. the public helpers identify SemVer versions that differ only in build
-   metadata as the same precedence identity; and
-8. a second external crate proves the publication-family topology rules:
-   at most one portable package, a meta package must select at least one
-   platform, every platform must be selected exactly once when a meta package
-   exists, and platform-only publication families remain valid.
+6. a portable Cargo publication validates independently;
+7. presentation order does not alter canonical adapter bytes;
+8. SemVer versions differing only in build metadata collide at the native
+   publication boundary; and
+9. publication-family topology fails closed for duplicate portable/meta roles,
+   empty or incomplete meta selections, dangling or mismatched edges, and
+   duplicate platform identity.
+
+Platform-only families are also certified when consumers select native packages
+directly without a generic wrapper.
 
 The consumer keeps architecture and libc outside the version. It uses one
-`1.4.2` API version for the wrapper and both platform packages, with exact

 ## Isolation
 
 `.github/workflows/native-registry-contract.yml` pins the interface candidate to
 a full 40-character commit, checks it out without persisted credentials, and
-runs on a clean hosted runner with read-only repository permission. After the
-full crate build warms the Cargo cache, both external consumers are compiled and
-executed offline. The generated schema, checksum, resolved consumer lock, exact
-product commit, and source-tree status are uploaded as an evidence bundle.

+# Exact direct-source Kustomize render certification
+
+This `zed-pkg-test` lane proves that the submodule-backed inventory record and the Argo CD direct-source declaration resolve to the same exact public child commit, and that the child deployment source renders deterministically without materializing the submodule in the cluster superproject.
+
+## Immutable inputs
+
+```text
+ORESoftware/k8s-cluster@4bc664a651cd912e8c16a15dd8f0dfcb1e1870b5
+daedalus-fab/fabrication-server.rs@5e305b9bf40d28139bdabf9342c304f759cbfee5
+Kustomize v5.8.1
+```
+
+The cluster commit is the repair proposed in `ORESoftware/k8s-cluster#1209`. It aligns the catalog inventory and direct Argo source with the indexed child gitlink and adds deployment-gitlink paths to the GitOps validator trigger.
+
+## Three-platform proof
+
+Ubuntu 24.04, macOS 15, and Windows Server 2025 independently:
+
+1. check out the exact cluster commit with `submodules: false`;
+2. check out the exact child repository separately;
+3. verify `.gitmodules`, the mode-160000 Git index entry, catalog inventory, catalog direct source, and child checkout all identify the same repository and commit;
+4. prove the deployment source is not materialized beneath the superproject checkout;
+5. download the official Kustomize v5.8.1 asset selected for the runner platform;
+6. verify the release asset against a hard-coded SHA-256 digest before extraction;
+7. render the exact child `k8s` directory twice and require byte-identical output;
+8. require exactly one `Deployment`, `Service`, `NetworkPolicy`, and `ExternalSecret` in namespace `daedalus`;
+9. reject cluster-scoped resources, a rendered Kubernetes `Secret`, or plaintext `stringData`; and
+10. upload the rendered YAML plus provenance, binary, and render digests.
+
+The pinned release assets and digests are taken from the official `kubernetes-sigs/kustomize` v5.8.1 GitHub release. Archive extraction rejects path traversal and links.
+
+## Why this is separate from the catalog validator
+
+The GitOps catalog validator intentionally needs no child worktree or network access. It proves declaration and gitlink integrity from the superproject alone. This canary adds a separate, public-source integration boundary: it fetches the exact declared child repository and proves that its declared renderer and path produce deterministic, namespace-scoped manifests.
+
+The two layers should remain distinct. A private-repository credential outage must not prevent static catalog validation, while a passing static catalog check must not be treated as proof that the declared child source still renders.
+
+## Isolation
+
+All repository checkouts disable persisted credentials. The canary uses no user PAT, GitHub App private key, registry credential, Kubernetes credential, Cloudflare token, DNS permission, R2 key, or database access. It runs `kustomize build` only; it never invokes `kubectl`, `argocd`, Helm installation, a registry push, or an apply operation.
+
+Passing this canary does not activate the inert ApplicationSet and does not authorize production reconciliation.
+
+## Coordination
+
+- Catalog repair: `ORESoftware/k8s-cluster#1209`

+#
+# WHAT BELONGS HERE: only true secrets. The Supabase audience, issuer, and JWKS
+# URL are public values and are set inline in deployment.yaml — routing them
+# through ESO would imply a confidentiality they do not have and make the auth
+# configuration harder to read.
+#
+# Preferring the JWKS URL (RS256/ES256) over the legacy HS256 shared secret is
+# what keeps this Secret down to a single key: with JWKS there is no symmetric
+# secret to distribute at all. DAEDALUS_API_SUPABASE_JWT_SECRET is therefore
+# intentionally absent; add it only if the project is pinned to HS256.
+# NAME IS PER-SERVICE ON PURPOSE. All three daedalus services previously
+# declared this ExternalSecret as `dd-daedalus-secrets` with the same
+# target.name in the same namespace, while each Argo Application syncs with
+# prune+selfHeal. Three controllers claiming one Secret with three different
+# key sets fight forever: whichever syncs last wins and the other two services
+# lose their credentials. One Secret per owning service avoids that entirely.

Subject: [PATCH 1046/1172] fix(DEN-2058): repair zero-job fleet merge workflow
 (#154)

Restore parseable guarded merge automation with credential-free PR validation, immutable-pinned actionlint, exact marker/message gates, event-scoped concurrency, no-force/read-only-token assertions, and serialized production runs.

+This `zed-pkg-test` lane proves that the submodule-backed inventory record and the Argo CD direct-source declaration resolve to the same exact private child commit, and that checksum-pinned manifest bytes from that commit render deterministically without materializing the submodule in the cluster superproject.
+
+## Private-repository boundary discovered by the first run
+
+The first Windows job attempted a credential-free cross-organization checkout of `daedalus-fab/fabrication-server.rs` and failed with `Repository not found`. That is the expected GitHub permission boundary: a test-org `GITHUB_TOKEN` is scoped to the test repository and cannot read a private repository in another organization.
+
+The workflow does **not** inject a PAT or broaden its token. Instead, the five deployment files were exported through the connected repository reader and committed as an immutable test fixture. Every snapshot file retains the exact Git blob SHA from the source commit, and every runner recomputes `git hash-object` before rendering. The test therefore proves source-byte provenance and renderability without claiming private-repository reachability.
+
+Private source reachability remains a separate, owner-scoped GitHub App credential contract.

 ## Why this is separate from the catalog validator
 
-The GitOps catalog validator intentionally needs no child worktree or network access. It proves declaration and gitlink integrity from the superproject alone. This canary adds a separate, public-source integration boundary: it fetches the exact declared child repository and proves that its declared renderer and path produce deterministic, namespace-scoped manifests.
+The GitOps catalog validator intentionally needs no child worktree or network access. It proves declaration and gitlink integrity from the superproject alone. This canary adds a source-byte integration boundary: the exported files are tied to the exact private source commit by their Git blob identities, then rendered with a checksum-pinned toolchain.
+
+The layers remain distinct:
 
-The two layers should remain distinct. A private-repository credential outage must not prevent static catalog validation, while a passing static catalog check must not be treated as proof that the declared child source still renders.
+- static catalog validation must work during a private-repository credential outage;
+- snapshot rendering proves the exact exported deployment bytes still render;
+- an authenticated GitHub App checkout must separately prove live private-repository reachability.

+# Layer-1 and lives in ORESoftware/k8s-cluster.
+#
+# WHAT BELONGS HERE: only true secrets. The Supabase audience, issuer, and JWKS
+# URL are public values and are set inline in deployment.yaml — routing them
+# through ESO would imply a confidentiality they do not have and make the auth
+# configuration harder to read.
+#
+# Preferring the JWKS URL (RS256/ES256) over the legacy HS256 shared secret is
+# what keeps this Secret down to a single key: with JWKS there is no symmetric
+# secret to distribute at all. DAEDALUS_API_SUPABASE_JWT_SECRET is therefore
+# intentionally absent; add it only if the project is pinned to HS256.
+# NAME IS PER-SERVICE ON PURPOSE. All three daedalus services previously
+# declared this ExternalSecret as `dd-daedalus-secrets` with the same
+# target.name in the same namespace, while each Argo Application syncs with
+# prune+selfHeal. Three controllers claiming one Secret with three different
+# key sets fight forever: whichever syncs last wins and the other two services
+# lose their credentials. One Secret per owning service avoids that entirely.

Subject: [PATCH 1057/1172] ops: dispatch scoped Hacker House test fleet via
 App

Add a reviewed one-shot marker and fail-closed dispatcher that validates the canonical fleet, preflights a short-lived installation token for hacker-house-medellin-test only, and invokes the existing executor with explicit github-app authentication.

 # Exact direct-source snapshot Kustomize render certification

+This `zed-pkg-test` lane proves that the submodule-backed inventory record and the Argo CD direct-source declaration resolve to the same exact private child commit, that the declared endpoint ports are permitted by the app NetworkPolicy, and that checksum-pinned manifest bytes from that commit render deterministically without materializing the submodule in the cluster superproject.
 
-## Private-repository boundary discovered by the first run
+## Private-repository and billing boundaries
 
-The first Windows job attempted a credential-free cross-organization checkout of `daedalus-fab/fabrication-server.rs` and failed with `Repository not found`. That is the expected GitHub permission boundary: a test-org `GITHUB_TOKEN` is scoped to the test repository and cannot read a private repository in another organization.
+A credential-free cross-organization checkout of `daedalus-fab/fabrication-server.rs` failed with `Repository not found`. That is the expected GitHub permission boundary: a test-repository `GITHUB_TOKEN` cannot read a private repository in another organization.
 
-The workflow does **not** inject a PAT or broaden its token. Instead, the five deployment files were exported through the connected repository reader and committed as an immutable test fixture. Every snapshot file retains the exact Git blob SHA from the source commit, and every runner recomputes `git hash-object` before rendering. The test therefore proves source-byte provenance and renderability without claiming private-repository reachability.
+The owner repository's Actions are also currently blocked before job execution by its billing/spending-limit state. Neither limitation is bypassed with a user PAT.

Every snapshot file retains the exact Git blob SHA from the source commit, and every runner recomputes `git hash-object` before rendering.

 Private source reachability remains a separate, owner-scoped GitHub App credential contract.

-The GitOps catalog validator intentionally needs no child worktree or network access. It proves declaration and gitlink integrity from the superproject alone.

 - snapshot rendering proves the exact exported deployment bytes still render;
+- endpoint-policy validation proves checked-in egress permits the declared runtime URLs;
 - an authenticated GitHub App checkout must separately prove live private-repository reachability.
 
+A passing static catalog check is not treated as proof of source renderability, and a passing source snapshot does not grant repository or cluster credentials.

 ## Isolation
 
 All repository checkouts disable persisted credentials. The canary uses no user PAT, GitHub App private key, registry credential, Kubernetes credential, Cloudflare token, DNS permission, R2 key, or database access. It runs `kustomize build` only; it never invokes `kubectl`, `argocd`, Helm installation, a registry push, or an apply operation.

Subject: [PATCH 1068/1172] test: certify the real Leddy Zed package graph

Add the immutable Linux/macOS cross-organization package-author/consumer canary for Leddy interfaces, lib, multi-target clients, and monorepo. Canonical root-target publication, isolated target identities, transitive resolution, copy-mode materialization, byte-identical consumer locks, frozen reinstall, all exact-head E2E workflows, and the complete fixture lifecycle matrix passed.

Subject: [PATCH 1070/1172] test(DEN-1462): certify mise export ownership and
 recovery boundaries

Add the permanent independent public-API and black-box certification for deterministic mise export at product commit 5ad549c544276a713dd5de353f6fbe8ddd4b53d7. Ubuntu, macOS, and Windows export/ownership/recovery/secret/path matrices, mise import/frozen identity, and every repository-wide E2E workflow passed on exact harness head f6f14dbefe4262f59ba0aaa33275baca22484dc2.

Current submodule CLI and project-lock behavior were adopted verbatim; `src/main.rs` was composed by extracting the already-tested exporter import and dispatch arms into the current main-line recovery and locking flow. The exporter remains a ten-file source, test, contract, and documentation delta with no materializer or synchronization workflow.
+
+The public Rust API enforces the reserved exporter-state source boundary before delegating to the implementation. This protects the CLI, external Rust callers, portable case aliases, and in-project symlink aliases through one shared guard.
+
+The certification workflow pins the full immutable product head above and never follows a mutable branch during a run.
+
+## Certified behavior
+
+The harnesses run the real CLI with an empty `PATH` and prove:
+
+- print mode is deterministic and read-only;
+- `--write` creates generated TOML plus typed ownership state;
+- `--check` verifies exact generated bytes;
+- repeated writes are idempotent;
+- hand-edited owned files are not overwritten;
+- differing unowned files are not adopted or overwritten;
+- an existing generated output cannot silently transfer ownership to a different plan, even when both plans currently render byte-identical TOML;
+- a stale or corrupted recorded output digest is rejected rather than silently repaired;
+- ownership-state failures leave both the generated output and state file unchanged;
+- the public Rust API and real CLI reject the reserved exporter-state file as the plan source;
+- the public API rejects a symlink to the reserved exporter-state file on Unix;
+- safe missing output parent directories can be created transactionally;
+- output cannot alias its input plan, including case-only aliases relevant to Windows;
+- output and input cannot target the reserved export-state path;
+- output and input cannot target transaction staging;
+- nested secret-like keys in vars and tool options fail with exact field paths;
+- symlinked export-state parents cannot redirect state outside the project; and
+- no ambient mise executable, global mise configuration, or credentials are required.
+
+Both successful and failed commands are checked for unintended project mutation.
+
+## Three-platform gate
+
+The permanent workflow runs on:
+
+- Ubuntu 24.04;
+- macOS 15; and
+- Windows Server 2025.
+
+Each platform requires formatting, focused exporter unit tests, the public-API boundary target, both real CLI test targets, all-target Clippy with warnings denied, a locked release build, and both black-box harnesses. An aggregate gate requires every platform to succeed. All ordinary repository-wide E2E workflows remain merge gates on the same certification head.
+
+## Deliberate boundary
+
+This certifies deterministic manager-configuration export and ownership safety. It does not claim:
+
+- complete current `mise.lock` export;
+- native `EnvironmentLock` translation;
+- a general semantic three-way merge for arbitrary hand-authored mise files;
+- execution of mise tasks, hooks, templates, plugins, or environment expressions; or
+- installation of runtimes.
+
+The complete current manager-lock identity contract is separately merged and certified through DEN-1461. More sophisticated manager merge planning and lock-aware round trips remain separate follow-up work under DEN-1462.
+
+## Promotion gate
+
+Promotion requires:
+
+1. the workflow pin matching final immutable head `7c5445b2cd15a503c8004da98cac31451ea2f1d4` of `zed-pkg/zed-cli#131`;
+2. Ubuntu 24.04, macOS 15, and Windows Server 2025 success;
+3. formatting, focused unit tests, the public API target, real CLI tests, a locked release build, and all-target Clippy with warnings denied;
+4. both black-box harnesses passing on all platforms, with symlink assertions skipped only where the host cannot create symlinks;
+5. ordinary lifecycle, recursive-install, browser, install-boundary, and runtime-mise workflows remaining green; and
+6. exact implementation, certification, and merge commits recorded in DEN-1462 and the canonical mise interoperability policy.

+# Exact direct-source snapshot Kustomize render certification
+
+This `zed-pkg-test` lane proves that the submodule-backed inventory record and the Argo CD direct-source declaration resolve to the same exact private child commit, that the declared endpoint ports are permitted by the app NetworkPolicy, and that checksum-pinned manifest bytes from that commit render deterministically without materializing the submodule in the cluster superproject.
+
+## Private-repository and billing boundaries
+
+A credential-free cross-organization checkout of `daedalus-fab/fabrication-server.rs` failed with `Repository not found`. That is the expected GitHub permission boundary: a test-repository `GITHUB_TOKEN` cannot read a private repository in another organization.
+
+The owner repository's Actions are also currently blocked before job execution by its billing/spending-limit state. Neither limitation is bypassed with a user PAT.
+
+Instead, the five deployment files were exported through the connected repository reader and committed as an immutable test fixture. Every snapshot file retains the exact Git blob SHA from the source commit, and every runner recomputes `git hash-object` before rendering. This proves source-byte provenance and renderability without claiming private-repository reachability.
+
+Private source reachability remains a separate, owner-scoped GitHub App credential contract.
+
+## Immutable inputs
+
+```text
+ORESoftware/k8s-cluster@0c71eed05f8be50ac22ebe73715ded4a871234a8
+daedalus-fab/fabrication-server.rs@cea4a3c772012e1f2f87050bac24e911b8e2e577
+Kustomize v5.8.1
+```
+
+The source commit is owner PR `daedalus-fab/fabrication-server.rs#11`. It changes OTLP egress from gRPC port 4317 to the Deployment's HTTP/protobuf endpoint port 4318 and adds a source-level parity regression.
+
+The cluster commit is stacked PR `ORESoftware/k8s-cluster#1211`. It advances the mode-160000 gitlink and both GitOps catalog pins to the exact source repair while retaining the trigger hardening from `#1209`.
+
+## Three-platform proof
+
+Ubuntu 24.04, macOS 15, and Windows Server 2025 independently:
+
+1. check out the exact cluster commit with `submodules: false`;
+2. load the five-file source snapshot and its revision/repository/blob manifest;
+3. recompute every snapshot file's Git blob SHA and require an exact match with the private source commit;
+4. verify `.gitmodules`, the mode-160000 Git index entry, catalog inventory, catalog direct source, and snapshot metadata identify the same repository and commit;
+5. prove the deployment source is not materialized beneath the superproject checkout;
+6. run unit tests proving an OTLP 4318 endpoint with only 4317 egress fails closed;
+7. extract the real snapshot's NATS and OTLP endpoint ports and require the NetworkPolicy to permit both;
+8. download the official Kustomize v5.8.1 asset selected for the runner platform;
+9. verify the release asset against a hard-coded official SHA-256 digest before safe extraction;
+10. render the checksum-pinned `k8s` snapshot twice and require byte-identical output;
+11. require exactly one `Deployment`, `Service`, `NetworkPolicy`, and `ExternalSecret` in namespace `daedalus`;
+12. reject cluster-scoped resources, a rendered Kubernetes `Secret`, or plaintext `stringData`; and
+13. upload endpoint-policy, source-blob, binary, and render digests plus the rendered YAML.
+
+The pinned release assets and digests come from the official `kubernetes-sigs/kustomize` v5.8.1 GitHub release. Archive extraction rejects path traversal and links.
+
+## Layered evidence
+
+The layers remain intentionally distinct:
+
+- static catalog validation works during a private-repository credential outage;
+- snapshot rendering proves the exact exported deployment bytes still render;
+- endpoint-policy validation proves checked-in egress permits the declared runtime URLs;
+- an authenticated GitHub App checkout must separately prove live private-repository reachability.
+
+A passing static catalog check is not treated as proof of source renderability, and a passing source snapshot does not grant repository or cluster credentials.
+
+## Isolation
+
+All repository checkouts disable persisted credentials. The canary uses no user PAT, GitHub App private key, registry credential, Kubernetes credential, Cloudflare token, DNS permission, R2 key, or database access. It runs `kustomize build` only; it never invokes `kubectl`, `argocd`, Helm installation, a registry push, or an apply operation.
+
+Passing this canary does not activate the inert ApplicationSet and does not authorize production reconciliation.

+# intentionally absent; add it only if the project is pinned to HS256.
+# NAME IS PER-SERVICE ON PURPOSE. All three daedalus services previously

+# Layer-1 and lives in ORESoftware/k8s-cluster.
+#
+# WHAT BELONGS HERE: only true secrets. The Supabase audience, issuer, and JWKS
+# URL are public values and are set inline in deployment.yaml — routing them
+# through ESO would imply a confidentiality they do not have and make the auth
+# configuration harder to read.
+#
+# Preferring the JWKS URL (RS256/ES256) over the legacy HS256 shared secret is
+# what keeps this Secret down to a single key: with JWKS there is no symmetric
+# secret to distribute at all. DAEDALUS_API_SUPABASE_JWT_SECRET is therefore
+# intentionally absent; add it only if the project is pinned to HS256.
+# NAME IS PER-SERVICE ON PURPOSE. All three daedalus services previously
+# declared this ExternalSecret as `dd-daedalus-secrets` with the same
+# target.name in the same namespace, while each Argo Application syncs with
+# prune+selfHeal. Three controllers claiming one Secret with three different
+# key sets fight forever: whichever syncs last wins and the other two services
+# lose their credentials. One Secret per owning service avoids that entirely.

+# Live paired test-fleet audit
+
+The exact repository denominator is exported from the current compressed manifest by:
+
+```sh
+node scripts/export-test-org-fleet-index.mjs > canonical-test-fleet-index.json
+```
+
+The live auditor intentionally does **not** hard-code a pair count or repository count. It reads the same manifest and compares each production/test pair with GitHub's current organization inventories. The workflow then requires the auditor's pair and expected-repository totals to match the canonical exporter for the exact commit being tested.
+
+This matters because the fleet evolves. At the time this document was updated, current `main` exported 19 production/test pairs and 360 expected repository identities; future reviewed manifest changes may legitimately change those totals without requiring a second source-of-truth edit in the auditor.
+
+For every pair the auditor reports:
+
+- canonical repositories present and missing;
+- independently added repositories, which are preserved as extras;
+- archived, disabled, or default-branch-less canonical repositories;
+- production and test organization repository counts; and
+- production-side hygiene findings as warnings.
+
+`r2g` and `r2g-test` remain excluded by the canonical manifest and exporter.
+
+## Visibility boundary
+
+An exact audit requires metadata visibility into private repositories across every paired test organization. The repository-scoped `GITHUB_TOKEN` cannot provide that visibility and is deliberately rejected for the live job because permission gaps would otherwise become false missing-repository findings.
+
+Scheduled and manually dispatched live audits require `FLEET_AUDIT_TOKEN`, which must be either:
+
+- a read-only cross-organization token limited to repository metadata; or
+- an approved short-lived GitHub App installation token supplied under the same secret name.
+
+Pull-request and push jobs remain secret-free and run only syntax, unit, and canonical-exporter contracts.
+
+## Local use
+
+```sh
+GH_TOKEN="$(gh auth token)" node scripts/audit-live-test-org-fleet.mjs
+GH_TOKEN="$(gh auth token)" node scripts/audit-live-test-org-fleet.mjs --json > live-audit.json
+GH_TOKEN="$(gh auth token)" node scripts/audit-live-test-org-fleet.mjs --org shared-auth-test
+```
+
+The token needs repository metadata read access only. The auditor never writes GitHub state or prints the token.
+
+## Failure semantics
+
+The live job fails independently when:
+
+- the auditor cannot run or produce valid JSON;
+- its pair count differs from the canonical exporter;
+- its expected repository count differs from the canonical exporter;
+- a canonical repository is missing;
+- a canonical repository is archived, disabled, or lacks a default branch; or
+- cross-organization credentials are absent.
+
+Extras are reported but preserved. Use `--strict-extras` only for an intentional exact-equality investigation; later product-specific repositories are not deletion targets.

Subject: [PATCH 1079/1172] test(DEN-2788): add immutable production package
 inventory gate
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Resolve root .zpkg.toml candidates from exact default-branch commits, peel release tags, validate package and repository identity, dependency-order the release, require 16–25 unique packages including zed-lib-core, and publish JSON/Markdown evidence. Document the same-database, Shared Auth, R2, archive, install, frozen reinstall, and idempotency evidence required for production certification.

+# Production registry release certification
+
+The production release is evidence-driven. A workflow run is not successful merely because a deployment or a publish command was attempted; every immutable source, image, database migration, package version, and R2 object must be tied to one ledger.
+
+## Immutable component set
+
+The release ledger records exact commits and image digests for:
+
+- `zed-lib-core`, including the canonical shared-definition revision
+- `zed-api-server.rs` runtime and migration image
+- `zed-web-server.rs`
+- `shared-auth-server.rs`
+- `zed-cli`
+- `zed-infra` and the Argo CD application revision
+
+The migration job uses the same API image digest as the runtime and completes before either API or web replicas are promoted. Long-running replicas run with automatic migration disabled.
+
+## Full-stack certification
+
+The test stack uses one PostgreSQL instance for both machine publication and the canonical `zed_*` projection. It proves:
+
+- Shared Auth authorization code + S256 PKCE + exact callback
+- single-use code redemption and replay rejection
+- origin-scoped signed application session
+- delegated `zed-pkg` audience and `zpkg:account` scope
+- account pages and API mutations observe the same canonical rows
+- private packages remain invisible outside their memberships
+- private-to-public promotion succeeds at exactly 10 days and 50 downloads, and fails above either limit
+- machine publication creates the package, immutable version, verified R2 upload ledger, and audit fact before returning success
+- identical publish retries are idempotent and divergent same-version facts are rejected
+
+## Package and R2 evidence
+
+The inventory resolves 16–25 root `.zpkg.toml` repositories, including `zed-lib-core`, and requires each manifest's release tag to peel to the exact recorded commit. Publication is dependency ordered and uses one pinned Zed CLI binary.
+
+For every package version the ledger contains:
+
+- repository, commit, tag, manifest identity, version, and archive format
+- API package and version metadata
+- artifact SHA-256, byte length, and download URL
+- downloaded artifact SHA-256 and successful archive listing
+- direct R2 `HEAD` for `artifacts/<sha256>.<format>` in the configured bucket
+- clean install, lockfile digest, uninstall, frozen reinstall, and post-reinstall digest
+- first-publish or already-identical result plus a verified idempotent retry conflict
+
+At least one tar-family artifact and one ZIP artifact must be certified across the production and format-fixture ledgers. Secrets are available only to a protected production environment; pull-request workflows validate logic and immutable source pins without receiving credentials.

Subject: [PATCH 1080/1172] test(DEN-2788): retain every production inventory
 rejection

Print the complete rejection ledger to the workflow log and summary and upload it even when the 16-package release threshold is not met. This converts the current zero-candidate result into exact per-repository repair evidence.

 repository fleet
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Replace speculative repository names with every active, package-capable repository that currently exists in the zed-pkg organization, excluding only the organization profile repository. Let the exact manifest and tag gate determine the real 16–23 package repair set.

Subject: [PATCH 1082/1172] ci(DEN-2788): prepare immutable production package
 releases

Use the existing fleet token only inside a bounded, self-removing workflow. Add missing root manifests, create only absent immutable tags, verify every tag contains the exact package declaration, require at least 16 packages including zed-lib-core, rerun the independent inventory, commit the evidence ledger, and remove the one-shot authority.

Subject: [PATCH 1085/1172] fix(DEN-2788): certify immutable tag commits
 instead of moving heads

Use the default manifest only to identify the declared release tag, then build the package ledger from the manifest at the peeled immutable tag commit. Preserve default-head drift as explicit evidence rather than invalidating a released package when development advances.

-The resulting JSON is the release ledger input. Every selected package has a
-root `.zpkg.toml`, a valid `zed-pkg/<name>@<version>` identity, and a matching
-release tag that peels to the exact default-branch head recorded in the ledger.
+The default-branch manifest declares the release version and tag name. The
+release ledger itself is built from the manifest at the commit peeled from that
+tag, so normal development after a release does not invalidate the immutable
+release. Default-head drift is retained as evidence instead of treated as a

 Shared Auth head

Run the private Shared Auth candidate on the functioning zed-pkg-test Actions plane. Replace the cloud-only password endpoint with the configured issuer-derived endpoint under an exact source assertion, apply its real PostgreSQL schema, validate realms, run locked format/check/Clippy/tests/release build with Redis/Postgres, push the certified head, record evidence, and self-remove the one-shot authority.

Subject: [PATCH 1089/1172] ci(DEN-2788): reusable Shared Auth exact-head
 certification

Install the trusted base-branch lane that accepts only the dedicated release-evidence PR, requires an exact private-repository pin and one-shot marker, validates declarative PostgreSQL and auth-realm contracts, runs locked Rust certification with Redis/PostgreSQL, and records the certified Shared Auth head.

Dedicated regression tests cover both endpoint forms.

-          The Zpkg browser-handoff head passed declarative PostgreSQL schema application, auth-realm validation, Rust formatting, locked compile, Clippy with warnings denied, all targets, release build, and Redis/PostgreSQL-backed test configuration. The password handoff now derives the token endpoint from the configured Supabase issuer, preserving hosted defaults while supporting self-hosted and deterministic E2E projects. Dedicated regression tests cover both endpoint forms.

+# Production package roundtrip
+
+`production-package-roundtrip.yml` is the fail-closed acceptance lane for
+DEN-2788. It uses one immutable `zed-cli` revision against the real Rust
+`zed-api-server`, PostgreSQL, and the server's artifact-storage contract.
+
+The release ledger is dependency-closed and ordered. It contains 19 exact
+repository commits across `zed-pkg`, `shared-auth`, and `ORESoftware`, including
+`zed-lib-core`, its shared schema dependency, and the Shared Auth packages that
+close that dependency graph.
+
+For every package the lane:
+
+1. fetches the exact source commit and verifies any declared release tag;
+2. re-parses `.zpkg.toml` and verifies identity, version, repository, and
+   dependencies against the ledger;
+3. publishes through `zed publish` and verifies API metadata plus downloaded
+   artifact SHA-256 and archive readability;
+4. repeats the publish and requires immutable idempotency;
+5. installs the complete graph with `zed install`, verifies all 19 package
+   manifests, uninstalls it, and restores the same graph with `--frozen`.
+
+The PR lane uses local artifact storage so it is deterministic and does not
+write production. The same script is suitable for a protected Kubernetes/R2
+lane by pointing `--registry` at the deployed API and supplying a short-lived
+registry token. Production publication must retain the exact ledger, CLI, API,
+and evidence artifact; it may not substitute mutable branch heads.

+`production-package-roundtrip.yml` is the fail-closed acceptance lane for
+DEN-2788. It uses one immutable `zed-cli` revision against the real Rust
+`zed-api-server`, PostgreSQL, and the server's artifact-storage contract.
+
+The release ledger is dependency-closed and ordered. It contains 19 exact
+repository commits across `zed-pkg`, `shared-auth`, and `ORESoftware`, including
+`zed-lib-core`, its shared schema dependency, and the Shared Auth packages that
+close that dependency graph.
+
+For every package the lane:
+
+1. fetches the exact source commit and verifies any declared release tag;
+2. re-parses `.zpkg.toml` and verifies identity, version, repository, and
+   dependencies against the ledger;
+3. publishes through `zed publish` and verifies API metadata plus downloaded
+   artifact SHA-256 and archive readability;
+4. repeats the publish and requires immutable idempotency;
+5. installs the complete graph with `zed install`, verifies all 19 package
+   manifests, uninstalls it, and restores the same graph with `--frozen`.
+
+The PR lane uses local artifact storage so it is deterministic and does not
+write production. The same script is suitable for a protected Kubernetes/R2
+lane by pointing `--registry` at the deployed API and supplying a short-lived
+registry token. Production publication must retain the exact ledger, CLI, API,
+and evidence artifact; it may not substitute mutable branch heads.

           Certified commit: \`$CERTIFIED_SHA\`
 
-          The Zpkg browser-handoff head passed declarative PostgreSQL schema application,
-          auth-realm validation, locked Rust formatting, compile, Clippy with warnings denied,
-          all-target tests, and a release build with PostgreSQL and Redis configured. Password
-          handoff derives the token endpoint from the configured Supabase issuer. Dedicated
-          regression tests cover both hosted defaults and explicit self-hosted issuers.
+          The Zpkg browser-handoff source passed the independent Shared Auth test contract,
+          declarative PostgreSQL schema application, realm validation, Redis reachability,
+          first-use/replay/PKCE/redirect/client/expiry database boundaries, concurrent
+          single-consumer redemption, locked formatting, compile, Clippy with warnings denied,
+          all-target tests, and a release build.
+
+          Independent contract commit: \`$INDEPENDENT_TEST_SHA\`.
 
-          The source was also checked by the independent
-          \`shared-auth-test/server-api-contract-e2e\` contract at
-          \`$INDEPENDENT_TEST_SHA\` before the Shared Auth branch was pushed.
+          This is disposable test-environment evidence, not production Supabase, RDS,
+          Kubernetes, browser, or traffic certification.

+# Shared Auth exact-head certification
+
+Certified commit: `a471b20f8f81094f57393dc797b3cad0868c2f40`
+
+The Zpkg browser-handoff source passed the independent Shared Auth test contract,
+declarative PostgreSQL schema application, realm validation, Redis reachability,
+first-use/replay/PKCE/redirect/client/expiry database boundaries, concurrent
+single-consumer redemption, locked formatting, compile, Clippy with warnings denied,
+all-target tests, and a release build.
+
+Independent contract commit: `f41cdf668bbedab9ed75d01266a2086fa87b9ed1`.
+
+This is disposable test-environment evidence, not production Supabase, RDS,
+Kubernetes, browser, or traffic certification.

+# Quaestor Ledger test-fleet extension
+
+The additive fleet overlay provisions three focused repositories in `quaestor-ledger-test` without rewriting the retained compressed base manifest:
+
+| Repository | Profile | Required risk coverage |
+|---|---|---|
+| `tenant-isolation-e2e` | `security-e2e` | Cross-tenant read/write rejection, tenant-claim mismatch, idempotency namespace isolation, and audit ownership. |
+| `webhook-auth-replay-e2e` | `security-e2e` | HMAC verification, timestamp skew, replay rejection, payload tamper rejection, and redacted evidence. |
+| `migration-recovery-e2e` | `database-e2e` | Forward/backward migration safety, backup restore, point-in-time recovery, closed-period durability, and post-recovery integrity. |
+
+`readFleetManifest()` and the bootstrap launcher both apply the same extension file. They reject duplicate repository names, duplicate pair patches, unknown test organizations, and source/test organization mismatches before any GitHub write.
+
+Validate the composed fleet before applying it:
+
+```sh
+node scripts/validate-test-org-fleet.mjs
+node --test tests/fleet-manifest-extensions.test.mjs tests/quaestor-fleet-extension.test.mjs tests/test-org-fleet.test.mjs
+node scripts/bootstrap-test-org-fleet.mjs --dry-run --summary-json --org quaestor-ledger-test
+```
+
+Repository creation remains credential-gated. The apply workflow must use a short-lived GitHub App token or organization-managed `FLEET_GH_TOKEN`; credentials must never be committed to the manifest, overlay, generated test plans, or workflow logs.

+A skipped lane is **not** source certification.

+## Product-specific executable certification
+
+A repository may preserve a product-specific executable overlay that checks out the exact reviewed source, verifies its commit identity, and executes the relevant build, lint, unit, integration, browser, restart, protocol, or security tests.
+
+Only that executable product lane may report `certified: true`, and only after all required checks pass. A plan-only run, credential check, source checkout, static snapshot comparison, or skipped job is insufficient.
 
 ## Durable status artifact

Subject: [PATCH 1167/1172] Add a registry-down CDN install canary for
 GitHub/R2 fallback.

PRs only py_compile the harness; a full product run needs exact zed-cli and zed-interfaces commits via workflow_call.

+`.github/workflows/github-r2-fallback.yml` is a reusable canary for the
+`cdn.zpkg.net` guessable-object contract. `scripts/github_r2_fallback.py`
+publishes a disposable package to a `file://` registry, copies the tarball onto
+`packages/` and `github/` keys, points `--registry` at a closed loopback port,
+and proves `zed install --frozen` restores the packed payload from a loopback
+CDN. It also round-trips the typed `get_version` RPC frame over TCP NDJSON
+(from `github.com/oresoftware/api-docs`). Pull requests only compile the
+script; a full product run needs exact `zed-cli` and `zed-interfaces` commits
+via `workflow_call` or `workflow_dispatch`. See

+# GitHub / R2 registry-fallback canary
+
+This repository proves that `zed install --frozen` still materializes a
+package when the HTTP registry is down, as long as the packed tarball is at a
+guessable public CDN key (`packages/{org}/{name}/{version}/…` or
+`github/{owner}/{repo}/{tag}/…`). That is the `cdn.zpkg.net` contract.
+
+The canary is credential-free and uses only loopback HTTP:
+
+1. publish a disposable package to a `file://` registry;
+2. copy the tarball onto the guessable CDN layout;
+3. install once so a lock exists, then uninstall and drop the store;
+4. point `--registry` at a closed `127.0.0.1` port;
+5. set `ZED_PKG_SOURCE_FALLBACK_ALLOW_LOOPBACK=true` (production loopback stays
+   hermetic) and `--r2-public-base http://127.0.0.1:<cdn>`;
+6. `zed install --frozen` must restore the packed payload from the CDN mock.
+
+It also round-trips the `get_version` JSON call/receipt frame over TCP NDJSON,
+using the same key as `zed-interfaces/route-maps/zed-api.route-map.json`
+(generated by `github.com/oresoftware/api-docs`). zed-cli itself still speaks
+HTTP; the TCP check is the typed RPC wire, not a second CLI transport.
+
+When the TypeScript copies are passed in, the generated `zed-clients` routes
+file must match `zed-interfaces/generated/typescript/zed_api.ts` (banner
+comments excluded).
+
+## Local run
+
+From a sibling checkout of `zed-pkg`:
+
+```bash
+cargo build --release --manifest-path ../zed-pkg/zed-cli/Cargo.toml --bin zed
+python3 scripts/github_r2_fallback.py \
+  --zed ../zed-pkg/zed-cli/target/release/zed \

+  --clients-generated-ts ../zed-pkg/zed-clients/clients/typescript/src/generated/zed-api.routes.ts
+```
+
+The work root must not already exist.

From 7af20a73b12ffb739e5cd0b066869f2395fb67ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH 1168/1172] Add a live GitHub API canary that proves Releases
 can back a down registry.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The script creates zed-pkg-test/github-api-fallback-canary, uploads a packed
tarball via api.github.com, and requires the unauthenticated Release download
URL to return the same sha256 — no registry.zpkg.net hop.

+# Live GitHub API fallback canary
+
+This proves GitHub can host a packed Zed artifact **without** `registry.zpkg.net`
+or `cdn.zpkg.net`. It talks to `api.github.com` and `uploads.github.com` in
+the sibling test org [`zed-pkg-test`](https://github.com/zed-pkg-test), then
+downloads the same bytes from the public Release URL.
+
+The fixture repository is
+[`zed-pkg-test/github-api-fallback-canary`](https://github.com/zed-pkg-test/github-api-fallback-canary)
+(created by the script if missing; always public so unauthenticated `GET`
+works when the registry is down).
+
+## What is asserted
+
+1. GitHub REST: repo, git ref, tags, Releases, asset upload, asset download.
+2. Unauthenticated `https://github.com/{org}/{repo}/releases/download/{tag}/{asset}`
+   returns the exact sha256 that was uploaded.
+3. Optional: `zed install` / `zed install --frozen` against a **closed**
+   `127.0.0.1` registry, with `ZED_PKG_SOURCE_FALLBACK_ALLOW_LOOPBACK=true`,
+   restores the payload from GitHub. That needs a zed-cli build that contains
+   `source_fallback.rs` (zed-pkg/zed-cli#294).
+
+This is complementary to the loopback CDN mock (`scripts/github_r2_fallback.py`
+on `feat/github-r2-fallback-canary`): that test never leaves 127.0.0.1. This
+one is the GitHub-API proof.
+
+## Local run
+
+```bash
+# Contract only (no GitHub):
+python3 scripts/github_api_fallback.py --work-root /tmp/zed-gh-api-contract --skip-network
+
+# Live GitHub APIs (creates/updates the public canary repo + release):
+python3 scripts/github_api_fallback.py --work-root /tmp/zed-gh-api-live
+
+# Plus zed install through GitHub fallback:
+cargo build --release --manifest-path ../zed-pkg/zed-cli/Cargo.toml --bin zed
+python3 scripts/github_api_fallback.py \
+  --work-root /tmp/zed-gh-api-zed \
+  --zed ../zed-pkg/zed-cli/target/release/zed
+```
+
+The token is read from `GITHUB_TOKEN` / `GH_TOKEN` / `ZED_PKG_GITHUB_TOKEN`
+and is never printed. The canary repo is public; do not put secrets in the
+sidecar JSON.

+"""Live GitHub API canary: prove GitHub can host a Zed artifact when zpkg.net is down.
+
+This is not the loopback CDN mock. It calls api.github.com and
+uploads.github.com against github.com/zed-pkg-test/github-api-fallback-canary,
+then downloads the same bytes back over the public Release URL with no
+registry in the path.
+
+Phases:
+
+1. Ensure the public canary repo exists (create if missing).
+2. Pack a disposable tarball (stdlib tarfile; no zed required).
+3. Ensure a git tag + GitHub Release via the REST API.
+4. Upload the tarball and a VersionMetadata sidecar as Release assets.
+5. GET the repo, tags, release, and both download URLs; require byte-identical
+   sha256. That is the 100% GitHub-API proof.
+6. If --zed is passed, point the CLI at a closed loopback registry and require
+   `zed install --frozen` to restore the payload through source fallback.
+
+Token (never printed): GITHUB_TOKEN, GH_TOKEN, or ZED_PKG_GITHUB_TOKEN.
+Needs `repo` (or fine-grained contents + metadata) on zed-pkg-test.

Subject: [PATCH 1169/1172] Pack the live GitHub canary as a zed `pkg/`
 archive.

`zed install` rejects tarballs whose root is not `pkg/`; the previous
stdlib pack used a package-version prefix, so --zed failed after a
successful Release upload.

+# ores-lint
+
+A vendored, dependency-free lint baseline for every JavaScript/TypeScript,
+Rust, Dart/Flutter and Gleam repo in the org fleet. Everything it needs is in
+this directory — there is nothing to install from a registry and nothing to
+keep in version sync.
+
+Only universally accepted linters are used as hosts:
+
+| language | host linter | custom house rules |
+|---|---|---|
+| TypeScript / JS | ESLint 9+ (flat config) | `ores/require-send`, `ores/semi` |
+| Rust | clippy | `implicit_return` house style; `#[must_use]` on log `Event`; require-send scanner |
+| Dart / Flutter | `dart analyze` | require-send scanner |
+| Gleam | `gleam format --check` + `gleam check` | require-send scanner |
+
+There is no ESLint-quality plugin host for Gleam, and Dart's `custom_lint` /
+Rust's `dylint` would pull registry packages into every repo. The one house
+rule that those hosts cannot express — **logger chains must end in `send()`** —
+is implemented as a vendored ESLint rule for TS and a small Node scanner for
+the other three languages.
+
+## Running it
+
+```sh
+sh .ores-lint/lint.sh      # lints whatever this repo contains
+sh .ores-lint/selftest.sh  # verifies the toolkit still works after a toolchain upgrade
+```
+
+For JS repos it is also wired into `npm run lint:ores`, and runs automatically
+before `npm run build` (`prebuild`) and before `npm publish` (`prepublishOnly`).
+
+## What it enforces
+
+**JavaScript / TypeScript** — via ESLint (flat config):
+
+| rule | why |
+|---|---|
+| `semi` | house style: semicolons are required, missing ones warn |
+| `ores/require-send` | a logging chain that reaches `.info()`/`.warn()`/… but never calls `.send()` or `.send(boolean)` builds an event that is never delivered |
+| correctness set | `eqeqeq`, `no-unreachable`, `no-dupe-keys`, `use-isnan`, `valid-typeof`, `no-async-promise-executor`, and similar low-false-positive checks |
+
+**Rust** — via clippy, plus rustc `#[must_use]` on ores-otel `Event`:
+
+| lint | why |
+|---|---|
+| `clippy::implicit_return` | house style: prefer an explicit `return` at tail position |
+| `clippy::correctness`, `clippy::suspicious` | real defects |
+| `unwrap_used`, `expect_used`, `panic_in_result_fn`, `todo`, `dbg_macro` | things that should not reach a publish |
+
+**Dart / Flutter** — via `dart analyze` (or `flutter analyze`). If the repo has
+no `analysis_options.yaml`, rollout drops a baseline of analyzer-shipped
+correctness lints. Existing files are never overwritten. Prefer
+`package:lints` / `package:flutter_lints` when the package already depends on
+them — those are the Dart equivalents of `eslint:recommended`.
+
+**Gleam** — via `gleam format --check` and `gleam check`. Unused values already
+catch many forgotten `send` calls; the scanner catches the rest (assigned
+events, unfinished pipes).
+
+**require-send (all four languages).** The ores-otel logger builds an event
+through method chaining (TS/Rust/Dart) or pipes (Gleam). Delivery is
+`send()`, `send(boolean)`, or `send_with_store(...)`. Forgetting that call
+means the event is built and then dropped — unless shutdown recovers it, which
+is a fallback, not the API. Tests that deliberately build unsent events are
+skipped unless `ORES_LINT_REQUIRE_SEND_INCLUDE_TESTS=1`.
+
+## Overriding a finding on one line
+
+This is expected. Some tests, shutdown-recovery fixtures, and rare control
+flow should not call `send()`. Use the comment that matches the host linter,
+or the unified ores-lint form which works in every language:
+
+```
+// ores-lint-disable-next-line require-send
+// ores-lint-disable-line require-send
+// ores-lint-disable-file require-send
+```
+
+Language-native equivalents, also honoured:
+
+| language | one-line override |
+|---|---|
+| TypeScript | `// eslint-disable-next-line ores/require-send` |
+| Rust (`#[must_use]`) | `#[allow(unused_must_use)]` on the next statement |
+| Dart analyzer | `// ignore: name_of_lint` (analyzer rules only; require-send uses the ores-lint form) |
+| Gleam | the ores-lint form above |
+
+Do not disable the rule for a whole file unless the file is a generated
+fixture. Prefer the next-line form.
+
+## The two things worth knowing
+
+
+**1. Implicit-return findings are capped.** `clippy::implicit_return` fires once
+per implicit return, which on a real crate is hundreds of identical lines. The
+lint stays fully enabled so nothing is missed, but `rust.sh` collapses it into a
+single warning showing at most 5 concrete locations plus `... and N more`. The
+same cap applies to every ESLint rule via `eslint/formatter.mjs`. Change it with
+`ORES_LINT_MAX_EXAMPLES`.
+
+**2. `clippy::needless_return` had to be disabled.** It ships enabled in
+clippy's default `style` group and warns on exactly the explicit returns this
+house style asks for. Enabling `implicit_return` without allowing
+`needless_return` makes the two lints contradict each other on every function in
+the crate. `selftest.sh` asserts this stays true.
+
+## Scope: sub-projects and repo boundaries
+
+The linter does **not** assume the repo root is the only project.
+
+- **Rust** — `rust.sh` finds every crate in the repo, including ones under
+  `apps/` or `clients/`. Crates that are workspace members of an already-linted
+  root are skipped (via `cargo metadata --no-deps`) so nothing is linted twice,
+  and findings from every crate are aggregated into **one** capped report.
+- **JS/TS** — a flat config at the repo root makes `eslint .` reach nested
+  packages, so the config goes in even when the JS lives in a subdirectory.
+
+**Nested git repositories are a hard boundary.** A repo checked out inside
+another repo gets its own ores-lint install; the parent must not lint it, or the
+same findings get reported twice under the wrong repo name and the same
+`package.json` gets wired with two conflicting relative paths. `rollout.mjs`
+records those boundaries in `.ores-lint/nested-repos.json`, and both halves of
+the linter read it.
+
+To exclude a repo entirely — vendored upstream forks, for instance — drop an
+empty `.ores-lint-ignore` file at its root.
+
+## Legacy config migration
+
+ESLint 9+ reads flat config **only**. Three older mechanisms are silently
+ignored, which means any repo still relying on them has not been linted at all:
+
+| legacy mechanism | status |
+|---|---|
+| `.eslintrc*` | ignored entirely; rules are dead |
+| `eslintConfig` key in `package.json` | ignored entirely |
+| `.eslintignore` | ignored, with a warning |
+
+`audit.mjs` reports every repo in each category. `.eslintignore` is ported
+automatically into flat-config `ignores` by `base.mjs` (gitignore semantics
+preserved), so its intent keeps applying. The other two need a human decision
+and are migrated per repo — porting the rules that still make sense, and saying
+in a comment which ones were dropped and why.
+
+## Warn-only, by design
+
+`lint.sh` exits 0 no matter what it finds. It is wired into build and publish
+hooks across hundreds of repos, so it is built to be incapable of breaking one
+unless a human opts in.
+
+To make findings blocking for a single repo, create `.ores-lint/local.sh`:
+
+```sh
+ORES_LINT_STRICT=1
+```
+
+`local.sh` is yours — the rollout script never overwrites it. Everything else in
+this directory is managed and will be replaced on the next rollout.
+
+## Knobs
+
+| variable | default | meaning |
+|---|---|---|
+| `ORES_LINT_MAX_EXAMPLES` | `5` | example locations shown per rule |
+| `ORES_LINT_STRICT` | `0` | `1` makes any finding exit non-zero |
+| `ORES_LINT_SKIP_JS` / `ORES_LINT_SKIP_RUST` / `ORES_LINT_SKIP_DART` / `ORES_LINT_SKIP_GLEAM` | `0` | skip one language host |
+| `ORES_LINT_SKIP_REQUIRE_SEND` | `0` | skip the cross-language send() scanner |
+| `ORES_LINT_REQUIRE_SEND_INCLUDE_TESTS` | `0` | `1` also scans `test/` / `*_test.dart` / etc. |
+| `ORES_LINT_RUST_ALL_TARGETS` | `0` | `1` also lints tests/benches/examples |
+| `ORES_LINT_RUST_EXTRA` | — | extra flags appended to the clippy invocation |
+
+## Graceful degradation
+
+Nothing here is allowed to fail loudly for an environmental reason. ESLint not
+installed, too old, clippy not installed, dart/flutter not installed, gleam not
+installed, no TypeScript parser available, crate deps not fetchable — each is
+reported as an actionable skip, not an error.
+Repo-specific ESLint config that already existed is never overwritten.
+The same is true of `analysis_options.yaml`.
+
+CI follows the same model: the workflow runs `npm i -g eslint typescript-eslint`
+and never runs `npm install` for the repo itself, so linting a PR does not
+require the repo's dependency tree to resolve.
+
+## Per-repo customisation
+
+`eslint.config.mjs` at the repo root takes options:
+
+```js
+export default await oresConfig({
+  requireSend: { loggerNames: ['myLogger'], terminalMethods: ['send', 'flush'] },
+  rules: { 'no-console': 'warn' },
+  ignores: ['**/generated/**'],
+});
+```
+
+Once you edit that file the rollout script leaves it alone.
+
+---
+
+## Fleet operations (from the `codes` directory)
+
+```sh
+node .ores-lint-toolkit/audit.mjs                 # report the fleet's lint posture
+node .ores-lint-toolkit/audit.mjs --json out.json # ...as machine-readable data
+node .ores-lint-toolkit/rollout.mjs --dry-run     # preview
+node .ores-lint-toolkit/rollout.mjs               # install / re-install everywhere
+node .ores-lint-toolkit/rollout.mjs --only ores-otel
+node .ores-lint-toolkit/rollout.mjs --shard 0/8   # one slice of a fleet-wide run
+node .ores-lint-toolkit/verify.mjs                # assert every repo is correctly installed
+```
+
+A full rollout over ~900 repos takes a few minutes. `--shard k/n` splits it into
+bounded chunks, which matters when the runner has a per-command time limit.
+
+Re-run the rollout after editing anything in `.ores-lint-toolkit/` — it is
+idempotent and propagates the change to every repo.

+# ores-lint :: Rust
+#
+# Discovers every crate in the repo - not just one at the root - runs clippy on
+# each, and aggregates ALL of them into a single report so the example cap
+# applies per repo rather than per crate.
+#
+# Workspace handling: after linting a crate root, `cargo metadata --no-deps`
+# tells us exactly which manifests that invocation already covered, so workspace
+# members are not linted twice while genuinely independent nested crates still
+# get their own run.
+#
+# The headline custom behaviour: `clippy::implicit_return` fires once per
+# implicit return, which across a repo means hundreds of identical warnings. The
+# lint stays enabled so nothing is missed, but it is reported as ONE warning
+# carrying at most ORES_LINT_MAX_EXAMPLES locations plus a total count.
+#
+# Critical interaction, handled below: `clippy::needless_return` ships enabled
+# in clippy's default `style` group and warns on exactly the explicit returns
+# this house style asks for. Enabling implicit_return without allowing
+# needless_return makes the two lints contradict each other on every function.

+# GitHub / R2 registry-fallback canary
+
+This repository proves that `zed install --frozen` still materializes a
+package when the HTTP registry is down, as long as the packed tarball is at a
+guessable public CDN key (`packages/{org}/{name}/{version}/…` or
+`github/{owner}/{repo}/{tag}/…`). That is the `cdn.zpkg.net` contract.
+
+The canary is credential-free and uses only loopback HTTP:
+
+1. publish a disposable package to a `file://` registry;
+2. copy the tarball onto the guessable CDN layout;
+3. install once so a lock exists, then uninstall and drop the store;
+4. point `--registry` at a closed `127.0.0.1` port;
+5. set `ZED_PKG_SOURCE_FALLBACK_ALLOW_LOOPBACK=true` (production loopback stays
+   hermetic) and `--r2-public-base http://127.0.0.1:<cdn>`;
+6. `zed install --frozen` must restore the packed payload from the CDN mock.
+
+It also round-trips the `get_version` JSON call/receipt frame over TCP NDJSON,
+using the same key as `zed-interfaces/route-maps/zed-api.route-map.json`
+(generated by `github.com/oresoftware/api-docs`). zed-cli itself still speaks
+HTTP; the TCP check is the typed RPC wire, not a second CLI transport.
+
+When the TypeScript copies are passed in, the generated `zed-clients` routes
+file must match `zed-interfaces/generated/typescript/zed_api.ts` (banner
+comments excluded).
+
+## Local run
+
+From a sibling checkout of `zed-pkg`:
+
+```bash
+cargo build --release --manifest-path ../zed-pkg/zed-cli/Cargo.toml --bin zed
+python3 scripts/github_r2_fallback.py \
+  --zed ../zed-pkg/zed-cli/target/release/zed \

+  --clients-generated-ts ../zed-pkg/zed-clients/clients/typescript/src/generated/zed-api.routes.ts
+```
+
+The work root must not already exist.

Subject: [PATCH 1171/1172] add a GHCR-only fallback canary with no GitHub
 Release

Source fallback tries Releases first; this fixture exists only on
ghcr.io so install-when-registry-is-down must take the Packages path.

+# Live GHCR fallback canary
+
+This proves GitHub Packages (GHCR) can host a packed Zed artifact when
+`registry.zpkg.net` is down. Unlike the Releases canary
+(`docs/github-api-fallback-canary.md`) this fixture has **no GitHub Release**.
+`zed install` source fallback tries a Release sidecar first, then GHCR; a
+package that exists only as `ghcr.io/zed-pkg-test/ghcr-fallback-canary:v0.0.1`
+forces the Packages branch.
+
+The fixture repository is
+[`zed-pkg-test/ghcr-fallback-canary`](https://github.com/zed-pkg-test/ghcr-fallback-canary)
+(created by the script if missing). The OCI artifact uses Zed media types
+(`application/vnd.zed.package.v1.tar+gzip` layer).
+
+## What is asserted
+
+1. GHCR HTTP: blob upload, manifest PUT for tag `v0.0.1`, GET of the same
+   digest.
+2. Optional: `zed install` / `zed install --frozen` against a **closed**
+   `127.0.0.1` registry restores the payload from GHCR. Needs a zed-cli build
+   with `source_fallback::ghcr_version` (zed-pkg/zed-cli#298).
+
+Token needs `write:packages` (and `repo` to create the public fixture). Read
+from `GITHUB_TOKEN` / `GH_TOKEN` / `ZED_PKG_GITHUB_TOKEN`; never printed.
+
+## Local run
