## [0.4.54] - 2026-09-25 — promote's exit-7 refusal named every failing FILE and no REASON once more than one file failed: `_lint_failure_messages` quoted exactly one message, and none at all for a multi-failure

### Why
Queue item **(1)** from `[0.4.53]`, verbatim: *"`_lint_failure_verdict` quotes repo-lint's message only for a **single** failure, so the common multi-failure refusal still names *what* is wrong but not *why* per file — one message per failure (or a `; `-joined list) would fix that, still single-line."* Harm, reproduced live before touching anything: a commit carrying a PHP parse error **and** a repeated `## [1.0.0]` made the real `repo-lint` report two `failures[]`, each with its own message, and the tool printed
`LINT REFUSED (exit 7): committed file(s) fail lint (changelog, php): app/src/php/bad.php, CHANGELOG.md` — every file named, **no reason for any of them**. The child had already said why twice; the parent threw both away. Two failures at once is the ordinary case (a broken file and a stale changelog land in the same commit), not an edge case, so the refusal an operator acts on was routinely silent.

The old rule was not arbitrary: *one message cannot honestly describe two failures*, and a bare reason dropped after a list of several files could be read as blaming the wrong file. **Choice made, not asked**: keep that guarantee by **attribution** instead of by silence — quote a `path: message` pair per failure, so no message can ever stand for two. Nothing was slipped in: this is the queued item, landed as its own step with its own tests.

### Contract now
`_lint_failure_messages(failures)` returns `"; "`-joined **`path: message`** pairs — **one format for a single failure and for many alike** (the single-failure case gained its `path:` prefix too, so there is no branch that quotes an unattributed reason):
- each message is whitespace-collapsed first (that is what keeps the whole `detail` **single-line** — it is re-embedded in JSON and rendered with `grep -o`) and capped at 200 chars; the **path is never truncated**, so attribution cannot be cut in half;
- **bounded exactly like `_lint_failure_paths`**: the first 5 failures, then `(+N more)` — neither half of the line can grow without a trace, and the two halves now stop at the same place;
- **a failure that reported no message gets NO pair** — a missing reason is honest, an invented one is not, and the file still appears in the path list;
- the bracket still only exists on the non-syntax branch (`fail lint (…)`), so the `[0.4.53]` shapes are unchanged: a genuine syntax failure keeps `fail to parse or compile: <paths>`, an empty `failures[]` claims no cause.

### Verification (test-first)
- Assertions written **before** the tool was touched; pre-fix red captured (tool md5 `e3a691677b8f419ff11f36130bbf202e`, log `/tmp/opencode/lintreason/pre-fix.log`, blob kept at `/tmp/opencode/lintreason/pre-fix-promote`) → **109 passed / 11 failed**: **8 behavioural** (N2's two attributions, N3 ×6) plus **M10–M12 unplantable** (`plant matched 0 line(s)` — the code they target does not exist yet).
- **One guard was replaced deliberately, and it is recorded here because replacing a guard is exactly how a regression slips in**: N2's `assert_not_contains "no single message stands for two failures" "duplicate version"` pinned the *old* limitation — silence — and the queue item asks for that silence to end. Its successor is stronger, not weaker: two `assert_contains` on the **full `path: message` strings** (which only pass if the reason is glued to its own file) plus two `assert_not_contains` on the **unattributed shape** (` [duplicate version`, ` [PHP Parse error` — a bracket opened by a bare message). Silence is no longer the property being tested; attribution is.
- **New section N3** (`changelog-dup`, `mixed-langs`, `multi-reasons`, `many-reasons`): one pair for one failure and for many alike; three failures where the middle one is message-less → both real reasons present, `tools/check.sh` still in the path line, **`tools/check.sh:` absent**; seven failures → `app/src/php/f5.php, (+2 more)` in the paths, `app/src/php/f5.php: boom 5` in the reasons, `f6.php: boom 6` and the 7th failure's `duplicate version 3.0.0` both absent, `(+2 more)]` closing the bracket.
- Two new stub shapes: **`multi-reasons`** (three failures, one without a message) and **`many-reasons`** (seven, six `php` + one `changelog` so the set reaches the non-syntax branch).
- **Mutations 9 → 12**, all caught (both sides refuse with exit 7, so — like M7-M9 — the red can only be in the wording): **M10** the `path:` prefix dropped (the reason then names no file), **M11** the empty-message guard dropped (a silent failure grows an invented reason), **M12** the pre-fix `if len(failures) != 1: return ""` planted back — the defect itself.
- Post-fix → **129 passed / 0 failed** (**99 → 129**, **+30**); `bash -n` clean suite, `ast.parse`-clean tool (`tools/promote-dev-to-prod` is a `python3` script, so `ast.parse` is its syntax check — `bash -n` does not apply to it).

### Live (no restart, no promote, no deploy — every invocation `--dry-run`, real `repo-lint` child, throwaway repo)
Two failures in one commit: **before** → `LINT REFUSED (exit 7): committed file(s) fail lint (changelog, php): app/src/php/bad.php, CHANGELOG.md — fix the commit before promoting (prod is never shipped a red HEAD)`; **after** → `… CHANGELOG.md [app/src/php/bad.php: Errors parsing Standard input code | PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected token "{" … on line 2; CHANGELOG.md: duplicate version 1.0.0 (first at line 3)]` — each reason next to its own file, and `grep -c 'LINT REFUSED'` over the same run is **1**, so the detail is still one line. `tools/system-status --format human` unchanged: `promote-gates … dev-sync OK | commit-lint OK | ship-tree OK (commit 1bc106c)` under **ALL SYSTEMS HEALTHY**, exit 0.

### Full regression
**35 suites, 2682 assertions, 0 failed** — 19 shell = **1863** (**+30** over 1833, exactly `test_promote_lint_gate` 99 → 129, no other suite moved), 16 PHP = **819**, unmoved. Doc/contract suites after the appends: `test_repo_lint` **156/0**, `test_changelog_api` **86/0**, `test_app_version` **39/0**, `test_cli_version` **35/0**, `test_ts_ordering` **7/0**; `CHANGELOG.md` version tokens unique (`sort | uniq -d` → 0).

### Notes
- No new tool, no new gate, no new dashboard check: wording inside the existing `commit-lint` gate, so REGISTRY gains no section and `system-status`'s "29 checks" is untouched. Four gates, four exit codes, the JSON key set and `gates[].child` all unchanged.
- The **first** test in the repo for the `(+N more)` bound: `_lint_failure_paths` has carried it since the gate existed and nothing asserted it — `many-reasons` now pins both halves at once.

### Queue (next-candidate, not actioned)
- **New**: `--help`'s *Commit lint gate* prose still says the committed tree must show "every linted file parses and the committed Go module compiles", which `[0.4.52]`'s CHANGELOG rule also fails — the same "wrapper restates a contract it does not re-read" shape `[0.4.53]` fixed for the exit-7 line, this time in the prose block. Widening it is its own help contract (queued, not slipped in).
- **Carried from `[0.4.53]` (2)**: `ship-tree` names the first offending path but not *why* it is there (stray editor file vs a real new source file awaiting `git add`).
- **Carried from `[0.4.53]` (3)**: `--ignored` makes `git status` walk ignored content; a large ignored build dir under `app/src/php` would cost the 30 s `GLADEX_SHIP_TIMEOUT` on every promote *and* every dashboard row.
- **Carried from `[0.4.53]` (4)**: the `promote-gates` age re-ages on every dashboard run (needs a refusal moment no field carries).
- **Carried (investor-owned)**: NEEDS-INVESTOR **#57 public investor-route gating A/B/C** and **SOA MNAME** (`a.misconfigured.dns.server.invalid.`) — surfaced as a warning by `system-status` on every run, cannot proceed unilaterally.

### Placement (deliberate — same as `[0.4.29]`–`[0.4.53]` which sit immediately above this one)
Parked at the bottom of an otherwise newest-first file on purpose: promoting it to the top would make it the version-train head while `GLADEX_APP_VERSION` and all four `gladex` binaries still report `0.4.28`, turning `tests/test_app_version` and `tests/test_cli_version` red until CI bumps the train. That bump is main-loop work and is not part of this fix.

$ cd /data/repo && cat >> agent-logs/PROGRESS.md <<'EOF'

## 2026-09-25T15:35Z main-loop run — STEP 0 clear; once more than one file failed, promote named every file and NO reason: `_lint_failure_messages` quoted exactly one message and none at all for a multi-failure — one `path: message` pair per failure, suite 99 → 129, mutations 9 → 12
- **STEP 0 (done first, re-verified at run end)**: queried unread `investor_to_agent` rows in **both** DBs — `/opt/startup/dev/data/messages.db` **0 of 59 rows**, `/opt/startup/prod/data/messages.db` **0 of 25 rows** (every row read, not just a count); `INBOX.md` **66 `##` headings, 66 HANDLED, 0 unhandled** (awk over the heading lines where the `~~HANDLED …~~` marker lives); `mailboxes/{main-to-reviewer,main-to-scout,reviewer-to-main,scout-to-main}` contain only `.gitkeep` — no pending Dispatcher assignment; `/root/Maildir/new` holds only the old `tls-restore smoke test`. **No reply owed, nothing to mark** — recorded first (appended before any product work) so the run closes the investor loop explicitly. Investor-side note: **13 of our `agent_to_investor` rows remain unread by the investor (prod mirrors 17)**, including **msg #57 (A/B/C public-gating escalation)** — that ask stays open until they open it.
- **Defect class this step exists for (queue item (1) from `[0.4.53]`, 1st of a new series "a refusal that names what but not why")**: verbatim — *"`_lint_failure_verdict` quotes repo-lint's message only for a **single** failure, so the common multi-failure refusal still names *what* is wrong but not *why* per file."* Same harm shape as the twenty-one before it with the arbiter present but **deliberately narrow**: the child (`repo-lint`) reported a `message` for every `failures[]` entry, the parent's `_lint_failure_messages` returned `""` unless `len(failures) == 1`, so the extra reasons were read and dropped — and for two or more failures **all** of them were. Reproduced live first, not asserted after the fact: one commit carrying a PHP parse error *and* a repeated `## [1.0.0]` produced `LINT REFUSED (exit 7): committed file(s) fail lint (changelog, php): app/src/php/bad.php, CHANGELOG.md — fix the commit before promoting` — every file named, **no reason for any of them**, while the child had just said why twice. Two failures at once is the ordinary case (a broken file and a stale changelog land in the same commit), so the sentence an operator acts on was routinely silent.
- **The old rule was right and the fix keeps it — by attribution, not by silence**: one message genuinely cannot describe two failures, and a bare reason dropped after a list of files could be read as blaming the wrong one. `_lint_failure_messages` now returns `"; "`-joined **`path: message`** pairs — **one format for a single failure and for many alike** (the single case gained its `path:` prefix too, so no branch quotes an unattributed reason). Each message is whitespace-collapsed first (the guarantee that keeps `detail` single-line for JSON re-embedding and `grep -o`) and capped at 200 chars, while the **path is never truncated** — attribution cannot be cut in half. Bounded exactly like `_lint_failure_paths`: **first 5 failures then `(+N more)`**, so both halves of the line stop at the same place and neither can grow without a trace. **A failure that reported no message gets NO pair** — a missing reason is honest, an invented one is not — and its file still shows in the path list. The bracket still exists only on the non-syntax branch, so `[0.4.53]`'s three shapes are untouched: a real syntax failure keeps `fail to parse or compile`, an empty `failures[]` claims no cause.
- **One guard was REPLACED, recorded deliberately**: N2's `assert_not_contains "no single message stands for two failures" "duplicate version"` pinned the *old* limitation — silence — which is exactly what the queue item asks to end. Left in place it would have kept the fix red forever; deleted without a successor it would have removed the only check on the property it was protecting. Its successor is stronger: two `assert_contains` on the **full `path: message` strings** (they pass only if each reason is glued to its own file) plus two `assert_not_contains` on the **unattributed shape** (` [duplicate version`, ` [PHP Parse error` — a bracket opened by a bare message). The property under test changed from *silence* to *attribution*.
- **Step taken (test-first)**: assertions written **before** the tool was touched — new stub shapes **`multi-reasons`** (three failures, the middle one message-less) and **`many-reasons`** (seven: six `php` + one `changelog`, so the set reaches the non-syntax branch where the bracket exists), a new **section N3** (single vs many alike; `tools/check.sh` present in the path line while **`tools/check.sh:` is absent**; `app/src/php/f5.php, (+2 more)` / `f5.php: boom 5` quoted / `f6.php: boom 6` and the 7th's `duplicate version 3.0.0` both absent / `(+2 more)]` closing the bracket), and the N2 rework above. **Pre-fix red captured** (tool md5 `e3a691677b8f419ff11f36130bbf202e`, blob kept at `/tmp/opencode/lintreason/pre-fix-promote`, log `/tmp/opencode/lintreason/pre-fix.log`) → **109 passed / 11 failed**: **8 behavioural** (N2 ×2, N3 ×6) plus **M10–M12 unplantable** (`plant matched 0 line(s)` — the code they target does not exist yet). N3's *guards* passed pre-fix and so identify themselves as guards: the paths bound, the silent file staying silent, the 6th/7th reasons never quoted, `fail lint (…)`, `fix the commit before promoting`. Then the tool: the `if len(failures) != 1` early return, the per-pair loop, the bound, and the two docstrings that still said "SINGLE failure" / "single failure only". Post-fix → **129 passed / 0 failed** (**99 → 129**, **+30**); `bash -n` clean on the suite, `ast.parse` clean on the tool (`tools/promote-dev-to-prod` is a `python3` script — `ast.parse` is its syntax check; `bash -n` does not apply to it, corrected here rather than reported as a pass).
- **Mutations (3 new, planted on copies — the real tool is never edited — precondition-asserted by grepping the search string for exactly one occurrence, `ast`-validated, each run against the one scenario it targets)**: because both sides refuse with exit 7, the red can only be in the wording (M7-M9's pattern): **M10** the `path:` prefix dropped — the reason then names no file; **M11** the empty-message guard dropped — a silent failure grows an invented reason; **M12** the pre-fix `if len(failures) != 1: return ""` planted back, i.e. **the defect itself restored**. **All 3 caught** (9 → 12).
- **Live** (no restart, no promote, no deploy — every invocation `--dry-run`, real `repo-lint` child, throwaway repo): the two-failure reproduction now reads `LINT REFUSED (exit 7): committed file(s) fail lint (changelog, php): app/src/php/bad.php, CHANGELOG.md [app/src/php/bad.php: Errors parsing Standard input code | PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected token "{" … on line 2; CHANGELOG.md: duplicate version 1.0.0 (first at line 3)]`, each reason next to its own file; `grep -c 'LINT REFUSED'` over the same run is **1**, so the detail stayed single-line; the pre-fix blob against the identical repo still prints the silent version, giving the before/after from one input. `tools/system-status --format human` unchanged: `promote-gates … dev-sync OK | commit-lint OK | ship-tree OK (commit 1bc106c)` under **ALL SYSTEMS HEALTHY**, exit 0; both `--help`s render the four-gate contract.
- **Full regression (run after the code, before the doc appends): 35 suites, 2682 assertions, 0 failed** — 19 shell = **1863** (**+30** over 1833, exactly `test_promote_lint_gate` 99 → 129, no other suite moved), 16 PHP = **819**, unmoved. Doc/contract suites after the CHANGELOG and PROGRESS appends: `test_repo_lint` **156/0**, `test_changelog_api` **86/0**, `test_app_version` **39/0**, `test_cli_version` **35/0**, `test_ts_ordering` **7/0**; `CHANGELOG.md` version tokens `sort | uniq -d` → **0** (checked after this entry was written — no line in it begins with `## [` other than its own heading).
- **Docs**: `tools/REGISTRY.md` §promote-dev-to-prod (the **exit-7 wording** subsection's table row widened to one `path: message` pair per failure, new **"Every reason is ATTACHED to the file it names `[0.4.54]`**" paragraph with the 5/`(+N more)` bound and the never-invent-a-reason rule, suite bullet **99 → 129** / **9 → 12** mutations with M10-M12, the two new stub shapes, the **N3** description, the `[0.4.54]` pre-fix replay **109/11**, and the live transcript rewritten — its old "after" line quoted the bare single-failure message and would have been **stale and wrong** under the new format), CHANGELOG `[0.4.54]` parked at the **bottom** with the placement note (train head stays `0.4.28`) and `[0.4.53]`'s queue item (1) marked **actioned**, PROGRESS (this entry). **No new tool and no new gate** → no new REGISTRY section, `system-status`'s "29 checks" untouched.
- **Safety**: model spend **0.00** (`*-free` only), no secrets/personal data in prompts or commits, **no money moved** (BUDGET unchanged: 1.50 spent / 3.50 remaining), **no DNS write**, **no service restart**, **no promote** — `/opt/startup/{dev,prod}` untouched except the read-only STEP 0 queries; the message DBs were **read only** (no reply owed); `/root/.pdns-token` never read; no `noreply@` sendmail invoked. The live reproduction ran entirely in `/tmp/opencode/lintreason/` against `--dry-run`, so the real prod tree and the real reviewer mailbox were never written.
- **Staging discipline**: `git add` explicit — the working tree held exactly this run's 4 files (`tools/promote-dev-to-prod`, `tests/test_promote_lint_gate.sh`, `tools/REGISTRY.md`, `CHANGELOG.md`) plus this entry; never `git add -A` while another identity's WIP could sit in the tree.
- **Still blocked (investor-owned)**: NEEDS-INVESTOR **#57 public investor-route gating A/B/C** and **SOA MNAME** (`a.misconfigured.dns.server.invalid.`) — surfaced as a warning by `system-status` on every run, cannot proceed unilaterally. 13 of our `agent_to_investor` rows remain unread by the investor, including **#57**.
- **Next-candidate queued, not actioned**: (1) **New**: `--help`'s *Commit lint gate* prose still says the committed tree shows "every linted file parses and the committed Go module compiles", which `[0.4.52]`'s CHANGELOG rule also fails — the same "wrapper restates a contract it does not re-read" shape `[0.4.53]` fixed for the exit-7 line, this time in the prose block (its own help contract, queued). (2) `ship-tree` names the first offending path but not *why* it is there (carried from `[0.4.49]`). (3) `--ignored` may need a pathspec exclude if `app/src/php` gains a large ignored build dir — the cost is paid on every promote *and* every dashboard row (carried). (4) The `promote-gates` age re-ages on every run (carried, intended).

Run complete.

## STEP 0 — investor loop (done first)
Queried unread `investor_to_agent` rows in **both** DBs: dev **0 of 59**, prod **0 of 25** (every row read, not just counted). `INBOX.md` **66 headings / 66 HANDLED**, mailboxes hold only `.gitkeep`, Maildir only the old smoke test. **No reply was owed**, so nothing to insert — noted in `agent-logs/PROGRESS.md` as this run's first append, and re-verified at run end. Still open on the investor's side: 13 of our `agent_to_investor` rows unread, including **msg #57 (A/B/C public-gating)**.

## The step: `[0.4.54]` — a refusal that named what, but not why
**Defect** (queued item (1) from `[0.4.53]`): `_lint_failure_messages` returned `""` unless there was exactly **one** failure. So the ordinary case — two files failing in the same commit — had the child's reasons read and dropped. Reproduced live first:

- **before:** `LINT REFUSED (exit 7): committed file(s) fail lint (changelog, php): app/src/php/bad.php, CHANGELOG.md` — every file, **no reason at all**
- **after:** `… [app/src/php/bad.php: Errors parsing … unexpected token "{" …; CHANGELOG.md: duplicate version 1.0.0 (first at line 3)]` — each reason next to its own file, `grep -c` = 1 line

**Fix keeps the old guarantee by attribution, not silence**: one `path: message` pair per failure (same format for one and for many), path never truncated, messages whitespace-collapsed and 200-capped so the detail stays single-line, bounded with the paths half at the first 5 + `(+N more)`, and a message-less failure still named in the path list but never given an invented reason.

**One guard was replaced, recorded deliberately**: N2's `assert_not_contains "duplicate version"` pinned the *old silence*. Its successor is stronger — full `path: message` `assert_contains` plus negatives on the *unattributed* shape.

**Evidence**
- test-first: pre-fix **109/11** (8 behavioural + M10–M12 unplantable) → post-fix **129/0**
- mutations **9 → 12**, all caught (M10 prefix dropped, M11 empty-message guard dropped, M12 the old one-failure rule planted back)
- full regression **35 suites / 2682 assertions / 0 failed** (shell 1833 → 1863, PHP 819 unmoved); doc suites after appends 156/86/39/35/7 all green; CHANGELOG versions unique
- `system-status` unchanged: `commit-lint OK | ship-tree OK` under **ALL SYSTEMS HEALTHY**

**Committed** `6fb2c62` and **pushed** to `git://git.gladex.de/gladex.git` (remote `main` matches HEAD).

**Safety:** spend 0.00 (`*-free` only), budget unchanged 1.50/3.50, no DNS write, no restart, no promote — every invocation `--dry-run` against a throwaway repo in `/tmp/opencode`.
